HAIR LOSS: see alopecia
HANGNAILS are caused by an essential fatty acid deficiency. Treatment of hangnails includes flaxseed oil at 5 gm t.i.d. and 100 percent Kosher beef gelatin at one half ounce powder or 6 to 12 capsules daily. You may also wish to put vitamin E oil or aloe vera directly the hangnail to soften it and reduce the probability of further tearing or infection. Small scissors or fingernail clippers can be used to surgically remove the skin flap.
HAY FEVER (pollen allergies) is caused by plant pollen allergies and tends to be seasonal and coincides with plant cycles. Symptoms include headache, red itchy eyes, nasal congestion, and asthma.
Treatment of hay fever includes autoimmune urine therapy after the first attack each year, commercial antihistamine products (i.e., Allerest, Contac, etc.), vitamin C to bowel tolerance, bioflavonoids at 150 mg q.i.d., and rutin 50 mg t.i.d. or as needed. The faithful supplementation of all 90 essential nutrients (including plant derived colloidal minerals) often times will reduce or even eliminate clinical symptoms.
HEADACHES are caused by a wide variety of problems. Food allergies (the primary cause of migraines) and hypoglycemia are major causes of headaches. Sinus headaches are often caused by allergies to pollens and milk products. Headaches can also be cyclic in PMS. Do a complete series of pulse tests and a six-hour GTT.
Treatment for headaches comes in the form of a wide variety of commercial products (i.e., aspirin, Tylenol, Nuprin, Bufferin), chromium at 50-200 mcg t.i.d., and betaine HCl at 75-200 mg t.i.d.
Avoid offending foods including all sources of caffeine. Use autoimmune urine therapy, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, B3 at 450 mg time release q.i.d., B6 at 100 mg t.i.d. or as needed, choline at 150 mg/day, and flaxseed oil at 5 gm q.i.d. Avoid simple carbohydrates, use proteins and amino acids for snacks. Herbs including feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium), fleabane (Erigeron canadense), balm (Melissa officinalis), cowslip (Primula veris), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), queen-of-the-meadow (Filipendula ulmaria), valarian (Valeriana officinalis), and white willow (Salix alba) can be helpful.
HEARING LOSS (deafness) may require a "hearing aid" to amplify or correct the problem. On the other hand, sometimes cleaning the wax out of one's ear with hydrogen peroxide eardrops or a commercial earwax solvent will do the trick. I used to have an office down the hall from a hearing aid retailer - this fellow was so honest, he would always send his clients down the hall so I could clean their ears before he would examine them for hearing loss and fit them for hearing aids; we saw many a miracle of hearing return!!! In children, manganese and/or tin deficiency can cause reversible hearing loss. Do a pulse test for milk allergies (another common cause of deafness in kids).
HEART DISEASE (heart attack, cardiovascular disease): see cardiovascular disease, see arteriosclerosis. Prevention is the name of the game when it comes to heart disease. Good nutrition means moderation in all things with no fried foods. The base line nutritional supplements are a must. Pay special attention to EFA, avoid as much of the polyunsaturated fatty acids as you can (other than the essentials - i.e. faxseed oil and/or salmon oil), and pay special attention to selenium (500 mcg/day) and vitamin E (800-1,200 IU/day). Exercise in moderation (i.e. a 30-minute walk each evening is enough) and avoid vitamin D as an adult. More than 400 IU/day results in calcification of coronary arteries - the target tissue for vitamin D poisoning! Keep a 30-minute oxygen tank in your house (a two-hour supply if you live in a rural area), learn CPR, have nitroglycerin capsules or transdermal nitroglycerin patches on hand, obtain an IV infusion set and several 500 ml bottles of lactated ringers to set up an IV should a heart attack occur. Don't relegate your survival to an EMT who might or might not get there on time. Learn as much about emergency heart care as you know about your home's electrical system. Remember: UNPREPAREDNESS KILLS!
Treatment once you have had a heart attack includes EDTA chelation (with H2O2 added). You may need as many as two chelations per day for 80 or more days to ensure full recovery for your heart. Be aggressive. Your "orthodox" cardiologist will not agree to this so you will have to arrange it yourself! Increase your selenium intake to 1,000 mcg/day and your vitamin E to 1,200 to 2,000 IU/day and take 5-10 alfalfa tablets with each meal in addition to the base line nutrition program. Take two ounces of an oxygen supplement in the morning when you awake and two ounces before retiring. Take betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before meals. REFER TO YOUR PHYSICIAN'S DESK REFERENCE BEFORE TAKING ANY MEDICATION YOUR "ORTHODOX" CARDIOLOGIST WANTS TO PRESCRIBE FOR YOU! Don't take any medication you do not fully understand! Remember, 40 percent of all patients are in the hospital because of iatrogenic disease (doctor mistakes in medication or surgery). Get back into your walking and/or swimming program as soon as you can.
HEARTBURN (dyspepsia, reflux) is one of the more common diseases in the USA today. Stress, salt restricted diets, and aging cause a decrease in stomach acid production which allows bacteria to grow in the stomach. These opportunistic bacteria generate gas and acid that results in the "belch, burp, and bloat" syndrome. Prevention includes eating small meals, no fried foods, and drinking eight glasses of water each day to prevent constipation.
Treatment should include betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before each meal. For acute attacks of "heartburn," any of the commercial products advertised on TV (i.e. Rolaids) may be helpful. Herbs to try include peppermint (Mentha piperita) and angelica (Angelica archangelica).
HEMORRHOIDS (piles) are varicose veins in the rectum and anus that itch, bleed, become painful, and eventually blocked with clots (thrombosed). The cause of hemorrhoids is primarily a copper deficiency (a breakdown of elastic fibers in veins), low fiber diets, the resulting constipation, and lack of exercise. The increased pressure needed to force out a constipated bowel movement causes ballooning of the hemorrhoidal veins. Bright red blood on the toilet paper after a bowel movement is usually from an irritated hemorrhoid. You may be able to feel the large grape sized "balloon" in the hemorrhoidal vein. Prevention includes high supplementation with all 90 essential nutrients, eight to 10 glasses of water each day, high fiber diets, and exercise.
Treatment of hemorrhoids includes high fiber diets (you may need to add oat bran at two heaping tbsp. In eight oz. Of juice or water before bed) to encourage two bowel movements per day, hydrotherapy (Jacuzzi jet directed at hemorrhoidal tissue) b.i.d. as long as necessary, commercial topical products (i.e. Preparation H, etc.), and topical washes and/or compresses of herbs including German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), silver weed (Potentilla anserine), smart weed (Polygonium hydropiper), witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), yarrow (Achillea millefollium), juniper berries (Juniperus communis), horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum), and plantain (Plantago major). SURGERY IS RARELY, IF EVER, NECESSARY!
HEPATITIS by dictionary meaning means any inflammation of the liver. In daily use hepatitis refers to any of three viruses that attack the liver: 1) Hepatitis A is transmitted by fecal-oral contamination (i.e. contaminated food, oral sex, etc.), 2) Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted by blood contamination through dirty "community" needles, and causes a more sever disease and is potentially fatal, 3) Hepatitis C is a newly identified virus associated with blood transfusions that causes chronic liver disease and death. Hepatitis can appear as a minor flu-like disease to a fierce fatal liver disease depending on your immune system's ability to fight off the virus. In China, where there is an endemic hepatitis rate of 10 percent (that is 100 million cases a year!), the rate of liver cancer is very high. Prevention of hepatitis is fairly simple - follow good personal hygiene, wash your hands after using the toilet, and wash your hands before cooking and eating. DOCTORS AND NURSES, PLEASE WASH YOUR HANDS BETWEEN PATIENTS. By not washing their hands between patients, doctors and nurses cause two million infections each year in hospitals alone. Do not do illegal drugs, do not use "community" needles, etc. Follow the above simple rules and you will reduce your risk of contracting hepatitis by 97 percent. When my wife and I went to China, we took "Handi-Wipes" and washed all plates, cups, and eating utensils (i.e. chopsticks, spoons, etc.) before using them, even in public restaurants - we didn't contract hepatitis. Diagnosis of hepatitis is difficult in the early stages but easy after a week or so. Loss of appetite, prostration, nausea and vomiting, and fever are the early flu-like signs; after 3-10 days the urine will turn dark and jaundice (yellow eyes and marked elevation in the SGOT (AST) and SGPT (ALT) up ten times the normal values; the elevated enzymes gradually decrease as recovery takes place.
Treatment of hepatitis includes bed rest and plenty of fluids including chicken soup. Avoid sugar, fat, margarine, and fried foods, and avoid alcohol. Vitamin B12 at 1,000 mcg/day, folic acid at 5-10 mg/day, catechin at 1.5 gm/day, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, and herbs including licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), chicory (Chichorium intybus), and dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), germanium at 25-50 mg/day, selenium at 200-500 mcg/day, and an oxygen supplement at one ounce on awakening and retiring.
HERPES (simplex, cold sores, canker sores) is a virus that causes recurrent blisters and ulcers on the lips (Type I) and on the genitals (Type II). This disease never goes away completely (once infected, always infected). The best you can hope for is long term remission. Herpes lesions itch at the early stages and can be very painful and disfiguring. These viruses are transmitted by kissing and sexual contact. Avoid kissing and sexual activity when the lesions are active. Use condoms during an active stage of genital Herpes.
Treatment includes ultra violet light directly on lesion for 1-6 minutes per day, avoid high arginine foods (i.e. avoid chocolate, peanuts, nuts, seeds, grains), eat high lysine foods (i.e. meat, potatoes, milk, yeast, fish, chicken, beans, eggs), vitamin C to bowel tolerance, bioflavonoids at 200 mg t.i.d., zinc at 75 mg t.i.d., 1-Lysine at 1-6 gm/day to effect, then 500 mg/day maintenance, Ribavirin at 250-500 mg/day (do not take during pregnancy), and topical herb compress with walnut (Juglans nigra). There are many commercial products available for topical application.
HERPES ZOSTER (shingles) is the result of a resurfacing of a long-standing infection with the "chicken pox" virus. The resultant skin eruptions are extremely painful, sometimes requiring hospitalization. Extreme pain can be elicited by the touch of clothes or sheets. The path of the virus is along nerves soa regular pattern for the skin lesions is typical.
Treatment of choice for shingles is Isoprinosin at 500-1,500 mg/day, Ribavirin at 250-500 mg/day, vitamin B12 at 1,000 mcg/day, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU/day, lysine at 5 grams/day, and zinc at 15 mg t.i.d.
HIATIAL HERNIA is usually a congenital birth defect (not genetic) of the diaphragm. It can also be caused by crushing the chest or abdomen as in an auto accident. Gas, dyspepsia, reflux, and chest pain that mimics a "heart attack" are common symptoms. It is said that more than 40 percent of the USA population has asymptomatic hiatal hernia by actual x-ray survey!
Treatment of hiatal hernia usually is restricted to treating the gas and dyspepsia with digestive enzymes and betaine hydrochloride. Six to eight small meals each day are suggested as is sleeping with the head of your bed elevated which often times prevents night-esophageal reflux while you sleep. When there is a large defect in the diaphragm (paraesophageal hiatal hernia), surgical repair is recommended to prevent strangulation of portions of the stomach, intestine, or liver.
