GALLBLADDER DISEASE (gall stones) is generally caused by liver problems, especially with fat and cholesterol metabolism. Gallbladder "attacks" are caused by a cramping of the muscles in the gallbladder after a fatty meal or a temporary blockage of the bile duct by a gallstone. Gallstones are composed of almost 100 percent cholesterol and fat when they first form. On rare occasions they become calcified after the passage of time. Prevention of gallbladder problems includes the faithful use of all 90 essential nutrients to assure optimal liver nutrition, glycyrrhizin (an extract of the licorice plant, Glycyrrhyza glabra), and the base line nutritional supplement including 5 gm of EFA t.i.d. Fried eggs are known to precipitate 93 percent of all gallbladder attacks, followed by fried onions, fried potatoes and pork.
Treatment of gallbladder disease and gallstones includes the use of high fiber diets (i.e., make sure you are having 2-3 bowel movements per day), lecithin at 2,500 mg t.i.d., EFA at 5 gm t.i.d., vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU per day, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, selenium at 200 mcg t.i.d., and taurine at 500 mg t.i.d. A liver "flush" is a time tested home remedy. Herbs to use include acrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria), blessed thistle (Cnicus benedictus), vumitory (Fumaria officinalis), horehound (Marrubium vulgare), licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), peppermint (Mentha piperita), wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), artichoke (Cynara scolymus), sweet coltsfoot (Petasites hybridus), celandine (Chelidonium majus), chicory (Cichorium intybus), and dandelion (Taraxacum officinale).
GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE (benign migratory glossitis) like allergic "shiners" is a
red flag that you are not absorbing B3, B2, B6, B5, B12, folic acid, or zinc(the cause is usually malabsorption from celiac disease-like changes in the small intestine). Geographic tongue is recognized by irregular denuded areas on the top surface and sides of the tongue. Do a series of pulse tests to determine what foods you may be allergic to. Geographic tongue is not painful and taste may or may not be affected.
Treatment of geographic tongue includes avoidance of any offending food allergens, zinc at 15 mg t.i.d., betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before meals, B-complex IM in the early stages of therapy, and be sure to get on the base line supplement program.
GINGIVITIS (periodontal disease, receding gums, loose teeth, facial and jaw osteoporosis) is the shame of the dental profession, second only to mercury amalgam fillings. Gingivitis is totally preventable with proper nutrition and can very frequently be reversed with nutrition. It is the contention of the orthodox dental profession that food caught between the teeth and between the gums and tooth is the root cause of gingivitis and they have duly raised the stock worth of the dental floss companies. In reality, the reason the gums recede and food gets packed into the gingival space between the gums and tooth is that the alveolar bone supporting the tooth root has dissolved from a calcium deficiency and/or a phosphorus excess (i.e., too much meat, too much phosphate-containing soft drinks, etc.). The alveolar bone is very thin and fragile so minute losses in bone density are reflected more severely in the face and jaw than, in say, the femur (thighbone). The truth would get rid of an entire specialty of dentist (periodontists), so it is kept in the dental research literature. Think about it, dogs and cats don't floss and they don't get periodontal disease or receding gums unless we feed them table scraps. Complete dog and cat rations have been formulated to prevent this malady. Again the veterinary profession is treating their patients better than their human counterparts.
Treatment of gingivitis includes the correction of the calcium-phosphorus ratio in the diet (consider gingivitis and periodontitis as an osteoporosis of the face and jaw). The correct calcium/phosphorus ratio is 2 calcium/1 phosphorus (most American diets are 15-20 phosphorus/1 calcium) and it is impossible to achieve without supplementation of calcium and consciously reducing the phosphorus intake (i.e., give up soft drinks, reduce meat intake, etc.). Take calcium at 2,000 mg and magnesium at 1,000 mg t.i.d. with meals until teeth tighten up and gums calm down and are not so inflamed. Plant derived colloidal minerals make this aspect of prevention and treatment easy. This heavy supplementation of calcium will not cause kidney stones (kidney stones are the result of raging osteoporosis). Rinse the mouth with hydrogen peroxide tooth gel and mouth wash, take vitamin C to bowel tolerance, and colloidal silver and herbs may be used for MOUTHWASH TO RELIEVE INFLAMMATION AND PAIN. Herbs to use include arnica (Arnica Montana), bilberry (Vaccinium Myrtillus), German chamomile (Matricaria Chamomilla), high mallow (Malva Sylvestris), and tormentil bloodroot (Potentilla Erecta).
GLAUCOMA is caused by an increased pressure in the eye itself, which causes a change in shape, obstructing the normal flow of fluid from the eye. Food allergies are among the most common causes of increases in eye pressure. Do the pulse test to determine if you are allergic to any foods. Another common cause of increased eye pressure is muscular dystrophy or fibromyalgia of the eye muscles.
Treatment of glaucoma by the orthodox doctor is limited to a prescription of pilocarpine 4 percent every 15 minutes, surgery, or cortisone. You must do pulse testing and eliminate foods you are sensitive to, betaine HCl at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before meals, vitamin C to supplement. DO NOT REDUCE MEDICATION WITHOUT A TEST THAT SHOWS A REDUCTION IN EYE PRESSURE.
GLUTEN ENTEROPATHY: see celiac disease
GOITER (colloid goiter, hypothyroid) is caused by a simple deficiency of nutrients (i.e., iodine, copper, molybdenum, the amino acid tyrosine, etc.). Nitrates are goiterogenic (stimulate goiter formation); they are found in luncheon meats, hot dogs, sausages, and a variety of prepared meat products. Another source of goiterogens is the nitrates in fertilizers, which gets into well water. If you get your water from a farm well, have it tested for nitrates because they are carcinogenic as well as goiterogenic. Cabbage, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts are also goiterogenic. Goiter is easy to diagnose because the nutrient deficient thyroid glad enlarges 50-100 times its normal size; it is located just below the larynx in the front of the neck.
Treatment of goiter includes the removal of all goitrogens from the diet (read labels to exclude nitrates), supplement iodine at 250 mcg/day, and thyroid USP at 2-5 grains each morning. Kelp is a good natural source of iodine. Don't forget the 90 essential nutrients.
GOUT (gouty arthritis) is caused by deposits of uric acid crystals in the joints and surrounding tissues. These joints, classically the great toe of each foot, are very tender and may become deformed in chronic or long-standing cases. Kidney disease and uric acid kidney stones may develop in chronic untreated cases. Elevated uric acid in the blood (above 7 mg/ml of serum) along with sudden onset of tender gouty joints is a red flag for gout.
Treatment for gout should include an avoidance of alcohol, organ meats, seafood, lentils, beans, peas, and fructose sources. Use folic acid at 20-50 mg/day, cherries, and unsweetened cherry juice, and herbs including gout weed (Aegopodium podagraria) and meadow saffron (Colchicium autumnal). The orthodox doctors use colchicine almost exclusively as the treatment of choice, but add prednisone for inflammation.
GROWING PAINS (Osgood-Slaughter disease) are common in American children today. All you have to do is go to the zoo and watch parents carrying around six and seven year old children on their hip or pushing them around in and "18-wheeler" stroller! Growing pains are totally unnecessary and are red flags for one or more nutritional deficiencies. Prevention of growing pains includes the base line nutritional supplement rich in calcium, magnesium, selenium, vitamin E, and vitamin C including Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula at 1 tsp/20 pounds body weight for kids.
Treatment of growing pains includes calcium and magnesium at 2,000 mg and 1,000 mg per day, selenium at 50-200 mcg b.i.d., and betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before meals and Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula at one tsp. per 20 pounds body weight.
GUMS (bleeding, sore, pyorrhea) see gingivitis. You may also wish to rinse mouth with colloidal silver or a tea from the root of the white pond lily (Nymphae odorata).
