CATARACTS are caused by changes in the eye lens, which makes them opaque and unable to transmit light to the retina of the eye. Cataracts are easily diagnosed with the ophthalmoscope in a darkened examining room. Severe mature cataracts are snow white and opaque like mothballs and are easily seen with the unaided eye through the pupil of the eye. Cataracts are the most common cause of blindness in older people and should be dealt with aggressively and without delay.
Treatment of cataracts includes avoiding fried foods and margarine, the base line vitamin/mineral supplement plus vitamin E at 2,000 IU/day, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, B1, B2, B3, B5, and B6 at 50 mg b.i.d., inositol at 150 mg/day, selenium at 250 mcg/day, zinc at 25 mg t.i.d., bioflavonoids at 300 mg, glycine at 200 mg, 1-glutamine at 200 mg, l-arginine at 300 mg/day, l-cysteine at 400 mg/day, and glutathione at 40 mg/day. If diabetes or hypoglycemia is present, chromium and vanadium at 250 mcg t.i.d. should be added.
CATARRH (croup, whooping cough) is the mucus associated with a wide variety of nasal, throat, tracheal, and bronchial infections and/or irritations.
Treatment includes the use of steam at bedtime to break up the catarrh (mucus) and allow peaceful sleep. If this does not work and sleep is an urgent need, the use of drying agents such as Contac should be considered. Homeopathy can work quite well if a complete case is collected as there are many variables to be considered. Herbs that can be effective include vervain or wild hyssop (Verbena officinalis), cucumber (Cucumis sativa), wild cherry (Prunis serotina) and thyme (Thymus vulgaris).
CELIAC DISEASE (gluten enteropathy, nontropical sprue) is perhaps the most underrated disease in America today. Celiac disease is characterized by a loss of villi (finger-like projections) from the wall of the small intestines and a scaring of the supporting tissue, which effectively reduces the absorptive surface by as much as 85 percent. Classically celiac disease is caused by a wheat gluten sensitivity, thus the need for gluten free diets. If this change were limited to wheat only, it would be of small consequence because it is easily recognized. Complicating matters is the fact that cow's milk albumen and soy protein can cause these same physical changes in the gut including loss of villi and scarring of supportive tissue of the small intestine progressing to the point where by age 45-50 years, 90 percent of the intestine can be damaged resulting in a significant reduction of absorptive surface. The result is poor assimilation of nutrients which are the raw materials for tissue repair, growth, and maintenance of all tissues and the immune system.
Celiac disease, is therefore, the basic cause of many diseases including diabetes (i.e., malabsorption of chromium and vanadium), cancer (i.e., malabsorption of zinc, vitamin A, and selenium), and muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis (i.e., malabsorption of selenium in the pregnant mother resulting in damage to the fetus).
Diagnosis and treatment of celiac disease includes using the pulse test for allergies (i.e., whole wheat is great unless you are allergic to it!) especially wheat, cow' s milk, and soy products and eliminating and/or rotating the offending allergen. Macrobiotic diets work not because there is brown rice, but because of the elimination of wheat gluten and milk products. Its takes 90 days to repair the injured gut which means there is great hope if you take the effort to see if, in fact, you are sensitive to wheat, cow's milk or soy.
CEREBRAL PALSY is a congenital birth defect that affects the cerebellum, the fine motor coordinator of the body. The cause is a preconception deficiency of zinc, copper, and B6 (perhaps celiac disease as the base cause of copper/zinc malabsorption in the mother). There is no treatment since the damage occurred to the fetus during the formation of the brain and you can't put the genie back in the bottle.
CEREBROVASCULAR DISEASE (senile dementia) is more common in the United States than anywhere else. The hardening of the middle cerebral artery (the main blood supply to the brain) results in poor oxygen to the brain, which causes loss of memory and typical senile changes. As with arteriosclerosis, the hardening of the arteries is caused by smooth muscle scarring, followed by calcification and fatty cholesterol deposits. The risk factors include elevated blood cholesterol which is a building block of vitamin D. Vitamin D is angiotoxic (toxic to blood vessels) causing scarring of arterial smooth muscle and subsequent calcification. Magnesium deficiency also results in malignant calcification of cerebral arteries.
Prevention includes comfortable collars and ties so eddies are not created in the carotid arteries, which contributes to the deposition of cholesterol. Reduce the amount of vitamin D intake to a maximum of 400 IU/day (this is a real toughie when you consider animal fat, cholesterol, milk, butter, various prepared cereals and snack bars, supplements, and sunshine). Optimal levels of all nutrients including magnesium can also prevent malignant calcification.
Treatment of cerebrovascular disease includes EDTA chelation therapy to help remove plaque, hydrogen peroxide IV to increase oxygen, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, avoid alcohol, vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU/day, essential fatty acids at 5 mg t.i.d., selenium at 1,000 mcg/day, centrophenoxine at 1,000-2,000 mg/day, hydergine at 4.5-9.0 mg/day, vasopressin (DIAPID) at 12-16 units/day, Lucidril at 4.4-8.0 gm/day, piracetam at 1.6 gm t.i.d. and choline at 9 gm/day concurrently, and lecithin at 4 gm b.i.d.
CERVICAL DYSPLASIA is considered a precancerous change in the surface cells of the uterine cervix. The orthodox approach, cryotherapy, is primarily a counter-irritant procedure. In other words, create enough acute (new) damage so that the influx of WBCs and antibodies also help heal chronic changes as a side benefit. It is known that cervical dysplasia is, in fact, a manifestation of a chronic zinc and vitamin A deficiency. Diagnosis is made from a PAP smear and/or biopsy.
Treatment of cervical dysplasia is accomplished by paining the affected surface with Lugol's Solution (an iodine preparation) and oral supplementation of beta carotene at an equivalent of 300,000 IU of vitamin A per day and oral zinc at 50 mg t.i.d. Don't forget the base line nutritional supplement here.
CHALAZION is the result of plugged meibomian glands in the eyelid. A chalazion is easily confused with a sty in the early stages. However, after a few days the swelling and pain disappear leaving a slow growing pea sized mass in the lid.
Treatment of chalazions include vitamin A at 300,000 IU per day as beta carotene, zinc at 50 mg t.i.d., and warm poultices of 3 percent boric acid on the closed lid, and an herb called eye bright. Boric acid ophthalmic ointment may be obtained from the pharmacy without prescription.
CHEILOSIS (angular stomatitis) is the result of vitamin B2 or riboflavin deficiency. The deficiency shows up as cracks in the corners of the mouth, nasolabial folds, and geographic tongue.
Treatment of cheilosis includes identification of food allergies and supplementation with B2 at 75 mg t.i.d.
CHICKEN POX (Varicella, Herpes zoster-shingles) is an acute viral disease in children and a chronic, painful disease in adults (i.e., shingles). Epidemics occur in children in winter and early spring. Day care children are almost guaranteed to contract chicken pox in their first year of day care. For those that are into vaccination, a post exposure vaccine is available for up to 72 hours post exposure. Clear vesicles surrounded by a small red zone characterize chicken pox. These lesions occur primarily on the upper torso.
Treatment of chicken pox in children is primarily symptomatic and includes Caladryl lotion topically, oatmeal baths, colloidal silver, and vitamin E oil applied directly to each vesicle or papule. Regardless of therapy, chicken pox will last from seven to 20 days.
CHIGGERS (mites) are small arthropods (eight-legged critters) that burrow into the skin and cause a severe pruritis (itching). These little creatures can be repelled while walking in the woods or meadows by placing pet flea collars around your ankles, waist and wrists. The use of poultry dusting power containing pyrethrums can be used in socks or belt line.
Treatment of chiggers once they establish themselves is limited to covering each burrow opening with clear nail polish, which literally smothers them.
