CRABS (public lice) are transmitted primarily by sexual contact. The "crab" (Phthirus pubis) causes a great deal of pubic and anal itching. They are relatively large yet difficult to see. Very close inspection with good lighting is required to find these insects. Very frequently dark "specks" of droppings of the lice can be found in white underwear.
Treatment should include specially formulated shampoos containing one- percent gamma benzene hexachloride and direct removal of any visually noted "crabs."
CRADLE CAP (seborrheic dermatitis of infants) can occur as early as one month of age in babies. Cradle cap appears as a greasy thick crust on the scalp and behind the ears and face.
Treatment of cradle cap includes shampooing regularly to loosen the greasy scale, B6 at 1-25 mg per day, and zinc at 15-25 mg per day. Food allergies can contribute to this problem -- do a pulse test.
CROHN'S DISEASE (regional enteritis) is a chronic infiltration or invasion of defensive WBCs and macropohages (special scavenger cells) into the terminal ileum (last portion of small intestine that joins with the colon). Several theories are currently in vogue as to the cause of Chrohn's Disease including infection with T.B-like organisms (similar to Johne's Disease in camels!!!). Of interest here is the high incidence of Crohn's Disease in Minnesota compared with all the other areas of the United States. A second and perhaps more realistic cause is a food allergy (i.e., wheat, milk), do a pulse test, and practice rigorous avoidance program of any identified allergens -- this will prevent acute (sudden) attacks and actually result in reversal of the Crohn's changes to normal. Compare this with cortisone and surgery that the orthodox medics would have you choose!!!
Treatment of Crohn's Disease includes a high fiber diet. Use the pulse test to make sure you're not allergic to the type of fiber you use to supplement your diet. Take folic acid at 5-10 mg t.i.d., vitamin A at 300,000 IU/day as beta carotene, B12 at 1,000 mcg/day (best by injection in this disease), and vitamin C to bowel tolerance if it can be tolerated. Calcium and magnesium at 2,000 and 1,000 mg per day, selenium at 300 mcg t.i.d., chromium at 75 mcg t.i.d., and zinc at 50 mg t.i.d. as well as the basic supplemental plan.
CUTS (lacerations) are caused by paper, glass, metal, knives, and tools. Most cuts, except deep facial wounds, can be dealt with at home without stitches (sutures). Superficial cuts from kitchen knives, glass, and metal can be cleaned with soap and water. The edges of the wound are then brought together with butterfly bandages or wound steri-strips. Actually there will be less scar formation with this method than with sutures.
Cuts contaminated with dirt (resulting from falls on gravel, concrete, wood, or soil) need to be washed with soap and water to remove gross dirt and debris. The second step for contaminated wounds is to flush well with 3 percent hydrogen peroxide to bubble out the microscopic dirt that harbor microorganisms. The wound edges can then be brought together with butterfly bandages or wound strips. A drainage site should be provided to allow free exit to any possible infection. Bleeding from cuts can usually be stopped with pressure bandages unless an artery is cut. A cut artery will spurt blood each time the heart contracts. Small arteries can usually be controlled by pressure with a sterile sponge (gauze square). Bleeding from a large artery in the arm or leg may require a tourniquet to control until you get professional help.
CYSTIC FIBROSIS (mucoviscidosis) is the crime of the century second only to diabetes. And it's second only because diabetes affects millions and CF only affects thousands each year. In that CF is 100 percent preventable and 100 percent curable in the early stages in laboratory animals and can be far better managed in chronic cases than it is currently managed by orthodox medicine, it's the leading crime. CF is an important fatal disease of humans. It was originally thought to be limited to white populations of central European origin. Today, CF has been diagnosed in all peoples of the earth.
CF is thought to be genetically transmitted by the orthodox pediatricians, yet they have failed to prove their theory despite multi-millions of dollars spent in research. Classically, the diagnosis is made when any two of four criteria are present, yet most orthodox pediatricians will not diagnose CF without a positive sweat test (elevated level of sodium, chloride, and potassium in the sweat -- greater than 65 mEq/L).
The sweat test has been elevated by dogma to the diagnostic test for CF, yet there are at least 17 known diseases and syndromes other than CF that can give a positive sweat test, including at least one group of investigators to refer to CF as a syndrome rather than a disease.
Initially described in 1933, CF was first thought to be the result of a vitamin A deficiency in children dying with celiac disease. In 1938, the term "cystic fibrosis" was coined because the pathologist mistakenly thought the changes in the pancreas were true cysts (fluid filled spaces lined with normal tissue). It is well known today that the "cysts" of CF are in fact, a dilation of the pancreatic functional unit (acini) with atrophy (shrinking) of the lining tissue.
In 1952, the fact that congenital CF occurred in a significant number of CF patients was established. The foundation of the genetic theory of CF transmission is based on the frequent congenital appearance and two very poor papers, one published in 1913 which claimed that two children with diarrhea had an inborn error in fat metabolism and one in 1965 that did an epidemiological study of a group of 232 Australian families with CF. Despite six sets of twins, the study failed to shed clear light on the proposed genetic theory. These papers were so poor they would not get past the letter opener at any orthodox medical journal today. I have spent an inordinate amount of time on CF in DDDL because this syndrome again demonstrates very clearly that if any medical specialty will be eliminated by a discovery, that discovery will never be given to the public by the orthodox doctors!!!
In 1978, I made the first universally accepted diagnosis of CF in a laboratory animal (rhesus monkeys). The diagnosis was based on characteristic CF changes in the pancreas and liver in baby monkeys. These were confirmed by CF experts from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Emory University, and the University of Chicago! Experts from NIH and the CF Foundation were overjoyed -- that is until they learned that I could reproduce the CF changes with a congenital selenium deficiency in almost any animal species. With this revelation, I was fired with 24 hours notice and blackballed from research. Just to show you how ruthless medical doctors are, I was fired 10 days after my first wife died of cancer.
It has been learned recently that the positive sweat test is the result of an essential fatty acid deficiency that causes a secondary deficiency of prostaglandin (very short lived hormones) that control the sodium, chlorides, and potassium levels of the sweat!!! Remember the talk by the distinguished anthropologist, Dr. Jonathon Leaky, Sr. who said, "the more facts you have, the better the truth you have."
The prevention of CF has been accomplished in pet, farm, and laboratory animals by the veterinary profession by assuring adequate levels of selenium and essential fatty acid nutriture to the preconception, pregnant, and nursing mother. This is not as easy as it sounds because of malabsorption problems (i.e., celiac disease and Crohn's Disease) in a percentage of women! All things being normal, a complete baseline supplement program that provided 250 mcg selenium per day and 9 gm of EFA per day prior to and during pregnancy would be adequate to prevent CF.
Treatment of CF is very basic. Treat the infant as early as possible with selenium IM at 10-25 mcg per day. Plant derived colloidal minerals may be used orally thereafter. Provide EFA at three percent of the total daily calories. Most importantly YOU MUST DETERMINE IF THE INFANT IS ALLERGIC TO WHEAT, COW'S MILK, OR SOY! If you do not correct the malabsorption problem, treatment will only be minimally effective. In the case of older CF patients, IV essential fatty acids and IM selenium provide excellent management, possibly leading to a normal life expectancy of 75 years. Compare this approach to the heart and lung transplant offered by the orthodox pediatricians! If the proper treatment is carried out early, the typical CF lung disease may not develop. The lungs of CF patients are normal at birth and only develop bronchiectasis after chronic essential fatty acid and copper deficiencies have taken their toll. Don't forget the base line nutritional supplementation here!
Ma Lan and I went to China in 1988 to study Keshan Disease, a known selenium deficiency disease of Chinese children. We studied 1,700 autopsies and found 595 cases or 35 percent had pancreatic CF. An amazing discovery to be sure when orthodox medicine says CF is supposed to be genetic disease of children of middle European extract. I'm sure some creative proponents of the genetic theory will no doubt claim that a very virile English missionary impregnated 125,000 Chinese girls and, unfortunately, he was carrying the gene for CF. Believe me, they'd rather postulate that outrageous theory than give up all that money for genetic research.
CYSTITIS (bladder infection) is a common urinary bladder infection in women. Lost immune status, improper hygiene habits following bowel movements, pantyhose that are too tight, and frequent sexual activity (the reason for the term -- honeymoon disease) are common causes. The symptoms include frequency, urgency, and burning on urination. The diagnosis can frequently be made from symptoms alone; however, a urine "dipstick" test will show a positive nitrate test indicating bacterial infection. The test will be positive for a large number of WBCs in the specimen. Blood may be present in severe infections. Note: blood may also be present during the menstrual period so if the nitrate is negative and no WBCs are present, disregard. In older individuals, cystic calculi (bladder stones) may be considered as part of the cause of cystitis, especially in males.
Treatment of cystitis consists of acidifying the urine by consuming one to two quarts of unsweetened cranberry juice per day for the first day then reducing the intake to one quart per day as needed. Herbs are very useful and include bearberry (Arctostaphylos uvaursi), birch (Betula pendula, B. pubescens), juniper (Juniperus communis), lovage (Levisticum officinale), prickly restharrow (Ononis spinosa), and rupture wort (Herniaria glabra).
