LABOR (induce) can be made easier and assisted by herbs including blue cohosh (Caulophyllus thalictroides) and raspberry tea (Rubus idaeus). Corn ergot (Ustilago maydis) can be used to stop postpartum hemorrhage (orally or IM). Taking training classes (i.e., Lamaze) will help train the mother to be to relax during contractions (labor pains) and help train the "coach" to assist and how to recognize potential trouble. Home births are safer than hospital births and, in addition, the hospital rate of caesarian section is 35 percent. Vaginal births net the orthodox OB/GYN $800-$1,200; caesarian sections net them $2,500!
LACTATION (induce) can be induced or enhanced with herbs including milkweed (Asclepias galioides), caraway (Carum carvi), fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum), and goat's rue (Galega officinalis).
LACTATION (reduce) can be reduced and breast pain of engorgement can be relieved by goldenrod (Solidago petradoria). Luperon, posterior pituitary hormone can stop milk production; however, side effects include temporary menopausal symptoms.
LACTASE DEFICIENCY (cow's milk sensitivity) is a form of carbohydrate intolerance that results from a deficiency of the enzyme required to breakdown milk sugar (lactose) into glucose and galactose. Lactase deficiency is characterized by bloating and diarrhea with violent abdominal cramps following the ingestion of cow's milk and cow's milk products (cheese, yogurt, ice cream, etc.). Lactase deficiency occurs in 20 percent adults of Northwest European origin, at 75 percent in adults of all other ethnic groups, 90 percent of all Orientals, and 75 percent in adults of all other ethnic groups, 90 percent of all Orientals, and 75 percent in blacks and American Indians. The ability to digest lactose is gradually lost between the ages of 10-20 years of age.
Treatment of lactose intolerance includes avoidance of lactose-containing foods, predigestion of lactose by adding lactase to milk-containing foods, and the use of digestive enzyme supplements that contain lactase.
LARYNGITIS (loss of voice) can be caused by bacterial and/or viral infections, extreme overuse of the vocal cords (i.e., yelling at a football or hockey game) and muscular dystrophy or fibromyalgia of the laryngeal muscles. Very frequently, the temperature is not elevated and voice loss is the only symptom. Strep throat can be a cause that can be potentially dangerous and lead to rheumatic fever or meningitis if not dealt with properly. Hoarseness, voice change or complete loss of voice (aphonia), and tickling/raw throat are all symptoms.
Treatment of laryngitis can include penicillin or tetracyclines for strep throat at 250 mg orally q 6 h for 10-12 days, voice rest, honey/lemon preparations and herbs including cajuput (Melaleuca leucadendron), sunflower (Helianthus annus), pine oils (Pinnus sylvestris), black caraway (Pimpinella saxifraga), garden sage (Salvia officinalis), high mallow (Malva sylvestris), wild ginger (Asarum europium), and eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus). Viral laryngitis may be treated with Isoprinosin at 500-1,500 mg per day or Ribavirin at 250-1,500 mg per day. (WARNING: PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD AVOID THESE DRUGS, AS THEY ARE TERATOGENIC -- THAT IS, THEY CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS IN LAB ANIMALS). Avoid fried food, margarine and cooking oil, and supplement with all 90 essential nutrients.
LAXATIVE includes many OTC preparations such as Ex-Lax and Milk of Magnesia and herbs including senna (Cassia aqutifolia), flaxseed or flaxseed oil (Linum ustatissimum), alder buckthorn (Rhamnus fragula), cascara sagrada (Rhamnus purshiana), juniper (Juniperus communis), and manna ash (Fraxinus ornus).
LEAD POISONING (plumbism): Lead is required to convert RNA into DNA at the level of parts per billion. An excess of inorganic or metallic lead can cause a wide variety of symptoms and syndromes including learning disabilities, kidney disease, anemia, stunted bone growth, headaches, and gastrointestinal disease. Very often the eating of lead, lead paint, and caulking is the result of pica or a compulsive eating of unusual things because of mineral deficiencies. Sources of metallic lead include paint chips, window caulking, glaze from pottery, lead arsenate garden sprays, pollution from leaded fuels, inhalation of smoke from burning batteries, and large lead insulated wire. Diagnosis of lead poisoning can be made from a hair analysis in chronic cases or blood and urine in sudden onset acute cases.
Treatment of lead poisoning includes vitamin C to bowel tolerance, IV chelation with calcium EDTA at 10-25 infusions, and/or oral D-penicillamine. Don't forget the base line nutritional supplement program containing plant derived colloidal minerals because the IV chelation process is not selective and will tend to deplete body stores of essential minerals (selenium is of particular value).
LEARNING DISORDERS (dyslexia, hyperactivity, autism): see ADD, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, food allergies, hypoglycemia, hyperactivity and lead poisoning.
LEGIONNAIRES' DISEASE is caused by an infection with Legionella pheumophila. The disease is characterized by pneumonia, high fever, slow heart rate, dry cough, chills, pleuritis, and diarrhea. Legionnaires' disease is a relatively new disease, only being discovered in 1976. URI (upper respiratory infection) is significantly absent in this disease. Untreated Legionnaires' disease will be fatal in 80 percent of the cases. Diagnosis requires growing the organism charcoal-yeast extract from sputum. Immunosuppressed patients such as chemotherapy treated cancer patients, transplants patients and AIDS patients are most susceptible.
Treatment of Legionnaires' disease is specific with erythromycin at 500 mg to 1 gm orally or IV q 6 H every 6 hours for three weeks.
LENTIGO-MALIGNA MELANOMA (melanoma, skin cancer) originates from the Hutchinson's freckle on sun exposed areas on the face, neck, arms, and torso. These skin cancers appear as large flat, tan, or brown lesions with darker black or brown spots dotted on its surface. These are slow growing cancers requiring about 10 years to invade the dermis or deep skin layers.
Treatment of L-M melanoma can include excision biopsy. Frequently these tumors are on the face and a caustic cream may be more desirable than surgery. Take vitamin C to bowel tolerance, vitamin A at 300,000 IU/day as beta-carotene, selenium at 1,000 mcg per day, and use a #40 sunscreen to prevent new cancers. Avoid fried food and margarine.
