HICCOUGHS are distracting and bothersome though rarely fatal. Hiccoughs are the result of spasmodic contractions of the diaphragm, closely followed by a sudden closure of the glottis. Hiccough "attacks" may be started by swallowing hot or irritating substances that irritate the vagus, phrenic, and recurrent nerves controlling respiration. Chronic hiccoughs can be the result of the vagus nerve being squeezed by connective tissue in the skull (osteoporosis) as the nerve exits the skull (a type of peripheral neuropathy).
Treatment of hiccoughs includes holding your breath. High levels of blood carbon dioxide inhibit hiccoughs. Drink a large glass of water, orange juice, or lemon juice slowly. Pressure on the closed wyes with the heels of your hands and digital pressure applied to the phrenic nerves just behind the sternoclavicular joint (where your collarbone joins your sternum) can be of benefit. Chronic hiccoughs should be treated as osteoporosis.
HOARSENESS (laryngitis) can be caused by too much yelling as at a football game or from many of the cold and upper respiratory viruses. If hoarseness persists there could be more sinister things going on such as muscular dystrophy or fibromyalgia of the laryngeal muscles.
Treatment of hoarseness includes use of demulcents such as slippery elm (Ulmus fulva) in lemon and honey, chickweed (Stella media), and the "singer's plant" or hedge mustard (Sisymbrium officinale) as a liquid extract. Avoid fried food, margarine, and processed sugar, and be sure to faithfully supplement with all 90 essential nutrients.
HYPERACIDITY (stomach acid, gas): see dyspepsia. Treat with fennel tea (Foeniculum vulgare).
HYPERACTIVITY (hyperkinesis, ADD, ADHD, Tourette's syndrome) is a very disruptive speeded up activity level to the point the attention span is less than a minute. The repetitive activity that develops is distractive to others in a classroom or family setting. Very frequently the activities are self-destructive, injurious to others, and create a learning disability. Food allergies, food sensitivities (i.e. sugar, milk, etc.), and hypoglycemia cause 95 percent or better of the cases of hyperactivity and hyperkinesis. Pulse testing for allergies and a six-hour GTT are essential here if you truly wish to correct the problem. Be sure to include the base line nutritional program. In addition to the behavioral problems, and certainly more insidious, are the "celiac" disease type changes in the intestines resulting from the food allergies which cause severe malabsorption of nutrients. In turn, the resultant malnutrition causes further behavioral problems.
Treatment of hyperactivity and hyperkinesis requires absolute adherence to a rotation and avoidance diet based on the results of the allergy testing and six-hour GTT. Supplement with betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before meals, Feingold diet (i.e. avoid sugar natural and processed, additives, food colors, etc.), IM or IV B-complex at 50 mg per day, and chromium and vanadium at 25-250 mcg per day.
HYPERTENSION (high blood pressure) represents an elevation of the blood pressure above 140/90 mm Hg (the upper limits of normal). Either the systolic or diastolic numbers alone or both may be elevated. High blood pressure is complex and may be caused by many diseases ranging from simple nervousness in the examining room, arteriosclerosis, kidney disease, a variety of endocrine gland disorders, and food allergies. The most common reason for high blood pressure is a calcium deficiency and as a result high blood pressure is usually found in people with arthritis, osteoporosis, kidney stones, muscle cramps, etc. Do pulse test to identify offending foods. Do a hair analysis to check for excessive heavy metals (i.e. lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury). Don't forget the baseline nutritional supplements. CALCIUM DEFICIENT DIETS ARE KNOWN TO BE A MAJOR CAUSE OF HYPERTENSION.
Symptoms of hypertension include dizziness, red face, headache, fatigue, nosebleeds, nervousness, memory loss, edema of the optic nerve disc, strokes, etc. While not a symptom, obesity is a serious predisposing factor to hypertension; obesity also indicates mineral deficiencies.
Treatment of hypertension includes calcium (particularly useful is the plant derived colloidal minerals which are 98 percent absorbable), high fiber diets, rotation/avoidance diets, low fat diet (no fried food or margarines), avoid sugar and refined flour, avoid more than 400 IU of vitamin D, avoid caffeinated coffee or tea, chelation with EDTA, infusions with hydrogen peroxide, flaxseed oil at 5 gm t.i.d., garlic, reduce red meat intake, consume 4-6 cups of vegetables per day, CO-Q 10 at 60 mg/day, eight glasses of water per day, lecithin at 2,500 mg t.i.d., herbs including European hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha), rauwolfia (Rauwolfia serpentina), and olive (Olea europaea). Weight loss can drop elevated blood pressure dramatically.
HYPOGLYCEMIA (low blood sugar, hyperinsulinemia, narcolepsy) is placed in quotation marks in the medical literature. The "orthodox" idea for treatment of "hypoglycemia" is to "eat a candy bar anytime you feel an attack coming on" (by the way, these quotes are from the 1988 AMA Family Encylopedia of Medicine!). With such an archaic approach to the treatment of such a simple problem, how can we trust the "orthodox" medical community with something as complex as cancer!!! The cause of hypoglycemia is almost always food allergies that cause a malabsorption of chromium and vanadium as a result of celiac disease type changes in the intestine and/or a large intake of sugar (natural and processed) and refined flour which increases the dumping of chromium and vanadium in the urine as much as 300 percent. The old wives' tale "if you eat sugar from the sugar bowl, you will surely develop diabetes" is then quite true as untreated hypoglycemia will very frequently develop into diabetes. The symptoms of hypoglycemia are highly variable and may include emotional symptoms (i.e. hyperactivity, paranoia, schizophrenia, memory loss, irritability, hallucinations, depression, manic depression, bi-polar disease, dyslexia, crying, learning disabilities, ADD, ADHD, Tourette's syndrome, etc.), sleepiness, narcolepsy, fatigue, heart palpitations, sweating, inability to do cognitive tasks (i.e. inability to think out simple problems), explosive reactive anger, negative thinking, and catatonia and/or coma-like states.
The diagnosis of hypoglycemia requires a six-hour GTT. A FASTING BLOOD SUGAR ALONE WILL NOT DIAGNOSE HYPOGLYCEMIA OR DIABETES IN 98 PERCENT OF THE CASES; THERE ARE NO SHORT CUTS TO THIS DIAGNOSIS!!! A finger prick is done in the morning while fasting and the fasting blood sugar level is recorded (normal is 75 mg % give or take 5 points). Then 100 gm of glucose (Glucola) is ingested and a finger prick blood glucose is taken 30 minutes after ingestion and the results recorded. A finger prick blood glucose is taken at 60 minutes after ingestion of the glucose and at hourly intervals thereafter for a total of eight finger sticks (easy to remember as you have eight fingers!). It is of extreme importance to have an observer present during the entire test, not because the test is dangerous, rather because behavioral changes are best recognized by someone else. Having the "patient" write their name, draw pictures, etc. can be very useful, especially in children wher3e they may have a difficult time describing how they feel. These tests and observations should be done every 30 minutes during the six-hour test. A chart is then developed using the numbers gathered to assess the patient's glucose status. Hypoglycemia exists when the low during the test drops below the level of the starting fasting blood sugar level. Elevated blood sugar can produce behavioral changes as the blood sugar rises after a meal much in the same way that alcohol or drugs do (in fact, many hypoglycemics are falsely accused of being intoxicated!). Diabetes can be diagnosed when the total of the results of the fasting, at the 30 minute, one hour, and the second hour blood sugar test exceeds 600 mg % and there is sugar in the urine during the test.
Treatment of hypoglycemia includes high protein (preferable animal protein) diets (six to eight small meals per day) as even complex carbohydrates will increase the excretion rate of chromium and vanadium in the urine. Simple sugars increase the excretion rate of chromium and vanadium up to 300 percent of the normal rate! Chromium and vanadium are the "magic bullets" for treatment of hypoglycemia at 50-200 mcg t.i.d. with meals. THOSE INDIVIDUALS ON INSULIN SHOULD START CHROMIUM/VANADIUM THERAPY AT 25 mcg t.i.d. TO PREVENT A SUDDEN DIP IN BLOOD SUGAR. Also B-complex at 50 mg each t.i.d., avoid alcohol (alcohol is a simple carbohydrate), zinc at 25 mg t.i.d., and betaine Hcl and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before meals. Resolve the associated food allergies by using digestive enzymes, betaine HCl, and avoidance and rotation diets.
HYPOTENSION (low blood pressure) can be caused by prescribed drugs (check your PDR), heart disease, kidney disease, low blood sugar, food allergies, dehydration, adrenal exhaustion, and hypothyroidism. The causative disease process must be dealt with to properly resolve hypotension. Symptoms of hypotension include low energy, dizzy feeling when you stand up fast from a lying down or sitting position, fainting, blurred vision, palpitations, inability to solve simple problems, and slurring of speech.
Treatment of hypotension includes resolving the original problem, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, zinc at 15 mg t.i.d., ACE (adrenal cortical extract) sublingual, IM or IV, and thyroid at 1 to 3 grains in the morning. Too much will cause increase in heart rate and uncontrolled shaking of hands. Find the OD level by gradual "titration" then back off one grain. Eight glasses of water each day, acupuncture, homeopathy, reflexology, and herbs including ginseng (Panax ginseng, P.quinquefolius), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), and spring Adonis (Adonis vernalis) are helpful.
HYPOTHYROID (low thyroid, goiter): States that frequently do not produce goiter (thyroid gland enlargement) can produce obesity, fatigue, disinterest, low blood pressure, water retention (edema), etc. Diagnose with a basal body temperature test. Upon waking up, take your temperature by placing a thermometer under your armpit before getting up and stirring around. If your temperature is below 97.6°F, you have low thyroid. Don't forget your thyroiod gland requires all 90 essential nutrients to function properly and produce thyroxin.
Treatment of hypothyroidism includes eliminating all goiterogenic substances such as nitrates, cabbage, etc. Supplement with U.S. Armour thyroid at 1 to 3 grains each morning. An excess will cause increase in heart rate and shaking of the extended arm. Increase dosage to OD the back off one grain. Kelp and iodine supplement at 250-500 mcg per day and herbs to include quercus marine (Fucus vesiculosis).
HYSTERIA (melancholia, panic attacks) is a symptomatic diagnosis. Hysteria can result from PMS, food allergies, drugs (prescribed and illegal), alcoholism, hypoglycemia, etc. Our "orthodox" medical colleagues created the "hysterectomy" operation to resolve hysteria because of the PMS association! Test for food allergies (pulse test, etc.), hypoglycemia (six-hour GTT), and keep a daily diary to document PMS. Use a PDR to check out any medication that you might be on.
Treatment of hysteria includes avoidance of offending foods that you might be allergic to (i.e. sugar, dairy, caffeine, etc.), rotation diets, EFA at 5 gm t.i.d. with meals, chromium and vanadium at 50-200 mcg t.i.d. with meals, lithium, betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. before meals, acupuncture, homeopathy, and herbs including black hellebore (Hellebores niger), blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides), mistletoe (Viscum album), B3 at 450 mg t.i.d. (time release), and B6 at 150-300 mg t.i.d. Take this dose for thirty days then cut it to 25 mg t.i.d.
