COLIC (severe belly pain) can be initiated by a variety of causes including food allergies, hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid), and gas bubbles from fermentation, to more serious causes such as kidney or gallstones or blocked bowel. In this section, we will limit the discussion to food allergies, hypochlorhydria, and fermentation since they are all three related. Food allergies cause "celiac" like changes in the gut resulting in malabsorption. Bowel organisms ferment the unabsorbed nutrients causing bubbles which cause sufficiently sharp pain from distension to create colic. This is especially true in babies. In adults, stress and/or food allergies and salt restriction can cause hypochlorhydria allowing organisms to move into the normally sterile stomach and ferment food crating the belch, burp, and bloat syndrome or "colic".
The treatment for colic in adults includes the base line supplement program, betaine hydrochloride and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg each t.i.d. 15 minutes before meals, and pulse testing to determine presence of food allergies. In babies, pulse testing and diet diaries to determine offending foods, pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before meals (enzymes may be constipating), one to two drops of flaxseed oil after each meal, and B6 at 10 mg b.i.d. In older children and adults, herbs including dill (Peucedanum graveolens) and peppermint tea may be of value.
COLITIS is an inflammation of the colon, which can be caused by stress, food allergies, bacterial or viral infections, or low fiber diets, etc. Symptoms vary from cramping and diarrhea to constipation alternating with diarrhea, bloody mucus, ulcerative colitis, and diverticulitis.
Treatment includes cathartics or antidiarrheals as necessary, high fiber meals (i.e., potato, well-cooked oat bran, multi-grain breads), and avoidance of raw carrots, peanuts, and corn for the first week of therapy. Use pulse test to determine if food allergies are involved. If food allergies are present, use a rotation diet and autoimmune urine and blood therapy. Drink a minimum of eight glasses of water each day and eat four to six cups full of green leafy vegetables (i.e., spinach, cabbage, etc.) preferably steamed or cooked. Take oral hydrogen peroxide 25 drops of 35 percent in 1-oz aloe vera juice b.i.d. and aloe powder (Aloe vera) at 65-300 mg per day. Avoid fried food, margarine, and caffeine.
CONGESTED LUNGS (with bronchitis) can be treated with homeopathy, acupuncture, hydrotherapy to include a steam sauna, massage, and herbs including pennyroyal (Mentha pulegium) as concentrated tea. Treat with magnesium, manganese, and the essential fatty acids at 9 grams per day. Remember the baseline nutritional program. Avoid dairy products, fried foods, margarine, and sugar natural and processed.
CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE can be caused by lung disease, anemia, low blood protein, high blood pressure, nutritional deficiencies including B1, iron, copper, and selenium. There is usually a rapid irregular heartbeat and edema (swelling from tissue water) in the legs and/or belly cavity (dropsy). Two natural medications stand out in their efficacy (these herbs are even used by the orthodox doctors): 1) Lily of the valley (Convallaria megalis), and 2) foxglove (Digitalis purpura). These two herbs can be taken as whole leaf preparations or fluid extracts. NOTE: Foxglove is potentially dangerous so you should get commercially prepared sources and advice on doses!
English hawthorne (Crataegus oxyacantha) is a useful herb for regulating heart rhythm and treating dropsy of congestive heart failure. This herb may not be strong enough in severe or advanced cases. The precipitating cause of the congestive heart failure should be identified and dealt with aggressively.
CONJUNCTIVITIS is an inflammation of the membrane that forms in the inner surface of the eyelids and covers the white of the eye. Dust, allergens (i.e., pollens), and foreign bodies including eyelashes and microorganisms (bacteria and viruses) can all initiate conjunctivitis.
Treatment of conjunctivitis includes using artificial tears, commercial eye washes (hydrogen peroxide eye drops) and/or boric acid ophthalmic ointment as appropriate. Pulling the upper lid over the lower lid by grasping the eyelash, lifting out, then down induces tear flow to wash eye and flush foreign bodies.
CONSTIPATION is not only uncomfortable but is also a significant risk factor for cancer. If you are not having two to three bowel movements per day, you are constipated! Very frequently exercise such as walking and eight glasses of water per day will solve simple constipation. Ver frequently food allergies will initiate constipation, do the pulse test to determine if this might be a factor. Milk products, including cheese, have a constipating affect on certain individuals.
Treatment of constipation includes eight to ten glasses of water per day, fiber/protein at 1 tbsp. in 8 oz of juice b.i.d., rotation/elimination diet, autoimmune urine therapy for allergies, four to six cups of vegetables per day, exercise for 30 minutes per day, homeopathy and herbs including castor oil (Rincinus communis), olive oil (Olea europaea), blackroot (Leptondra virginica), American mandrake (Podophyllum peltatum), alder buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula), cascara sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana), flaxseed or oil (Linum usitatissimum), senna (Cassia angustifolia), and psyllium (Plantago psyllium).
CONTRACEPTION is historically a touchy subject. For knowledge of contraception and abortion herbs midwives were deemed to be witches and burned at the stake! Today, because of population problems, AIDS, and teen pregnancies, contraception cannot be ignored if we are to survive. Some governments -- like that in China -- have imposed one child limits on their citizens, give free contraceptives to anyone who asks for them, and most are offering a form of sex education. Sex outside of marriage is Russian roulette; anal sex is putting a loaded gun to your mouth and pulling the trigger!
Contraception is divided into abstinence, barriers, hormones (this is the least desirable from the standpoint of side effects), IUDs (intrauterine devices -- be careful here -- remember the Dalcon Shield!!!), and surgery (vasectomy or tying the fallopian tubes). The rhythm method cannot be considered a safe form of contraception outside of marriage because of the AIDS risk. Few couples have the consistent self-control necessary to prevent pregnancies.
CONVULSIONS (seizures, fits) are uncontrolled body movements set off by an electrical malfunction of the brain. High fevers of 104.0=105.0 F are often a cause of convulsions in children. Epilepsy is a form of convulsion that is easily diagnosed by abnormal brain waves seen on an EEG (electroencephalogram). Unfortunately, the orthodox neurologist doesn't think allergy or fat/cholesterol deficiency when a hysterical mother brings a child to his office with a history of one or more convulsions. The orthodox approach to treating convulsions is Dilantin and/or phenobarbital.
Treatment of non-temperature induced convulsions should include a pulse test to determine if allergies are a factor. If is determined that allergies are associated with the convulsions, the patient may avoid the foods or chemicals or rotate foods on a five-day rotation diet. A high fat, high cholesterol diet is indicated. Supplements of value include calcium and magnesium of 2,000 and 1,000 mg respectively, B6 at 100 mg b.i.d., chromium at 75-100 mcg t.i.d., and herbs to include peony (Paeonia officinalia), catnip (Nepeta cataria), and skullcap (Scutellaria laterifloria). Chiropractic care and acupuncture can be of great value here.
COR PULMONALE is classically thought of as an enlargement of the right ventricle of the heart as a result of severe and chronic lung disease (i.e., asthma, cystic fibrosis, bronchiectasis). There is usually a rapid pulse, palpitations and edema of head, neck, and lungs (the latter can be fatal). Sometimes there is angina. "Clubbing" of the finger and toenails and cyanotic (blue from lack of oxygen) nail beds are frequently seen when the lung disease is chronic. X-ray will easily diagnose this problem.
Treatment of Cor pulmonale includes resolving the precipitating lung disease and oxygen, IV hydrogen peroxide, and selenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day for adults. Remember the baseline supplement program.
COUGHS (catarrh, asthma, chest complaints) are very bothersome and distracting to everyone around the patient. Coughs can be caused by minor irritations of the throat including allergies (i.e., milk), viral infections, and chemical irritations. If a fever is present don't rule out milk allergies as milk allergies will cause a rise in temperature -- use the pulse test.
Treatment should include avoidance of any allergen or irritant, autoimmune urine therapy (if allergic), steam vaporizers at night for sleep, and herbs to include anise (Pimpinella anismum), English plantain (Plantago lanceolata), licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), mullein (Verbascum densilorum), thyme (Thymus vulgaris), onion (Allium cepa), sweet chestnut (Castanea vesca), and comfrey (Symphytum officinale).
