LEPTOSPIROSIS (Weil's Disease, infectious jaundice) is an infectious disease caused by Leptospira spp, a spirochete bacteria carried by dogs, rats, and various species of wild animals. Individuals are infected by urine-contaminated water and cuts while skinning or butchering infected animals. Symptoms include anemia jaundice, proteinuria hematura, and, on occasion, aseptic meningitis. Fever and chills are consistent symptoms. Blood tests for antibodies or urine cultures are necessary for diagnosis. Treatment with antibiotics is most effective if instituted within four days of onset. Tetracycline at 500 mg q.i.d is effective.
LEUKEMIA (blood cancer) is a cancer of the blood forming tissues of the bone marrow. No exact cause is proven but viruses, radiation, electromagnetic fields from power lines, and chemicals such as benzene are implicated. Leukemia produces a defect in the maturation process of WBCs resulting in large number of immature WBCs in the circulating blood. Diagnosis is made from a blood test, which shows anemia, low platelets, increased lymphoblasts (immature WBC) and an elevated total WBC count. Symptoms include weakness, joint pain, anemia, enlarged lymph notes, and enlarged spleen.
Treatment includes Laetrile hydrogen peroxide, DMSO (matures the immature cells in the circulation) IV, shark liver extract, hydrazine sulfate, cesium chloride, polyerga, germanium, carbamide, and, as needed, micro-dose chemotherapy, amino acids IV, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, selenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day and vitamin A at 300,000 IU as beta carotene. Avoid fried foods and margarine.
LEKORRHEA (vaginal discharge) is a nonspecific vaginal discharge containing mucus, WBCs and, on occasion, tinged with blood. Leukorrhea can be caused by Candida albicans Hemophilus vaginalis, Streptococcus spp., Staphylococcus spp. (the bacteria that will cause toxic shock syndrome when vaginal tampons are used incorrectly), or Neisseria gonorrhoea. Culture (growth of bacteria) and/or looking at the discharge under the microscope is required for specific diagnosis.
Treatment of leukorrhea should include specific treatment for the causative organism, i.e., vaginal application of triple sulfonamide creams, oxytetracycline vaginal application of triple sulfonamide creams, oxytetracycline vaginal suppositories, and vaginal douches with vinegar 30 ml/pint of water. Gonorrhea will require systemic antibiotics as well. Please note that any venereal disease must be reported to the Public Health Department.
LICE (pediculosis) can infest the head (Pediculus humanus capitis), body (P.h. corporis), and pubic area (Phthirius pubis). Eggs (nits) are white oval shaped seed-like objects attached to the base of the hairs; adult lice can be seen scuttling through the hair on the surface of the skin. Itching and irritated skin are the most common symptoms. Diagnosis is dependent on finding the adult lice of nits in the hair and scalp.
Treatment of lice includes the use of Labordor tea (Ledum latifolium) or field larkspur (Delphinium consolida) as a hair wash. Use of a special fine toothed comb to harvest the nits is recommended. Treatment should be done daily for 14 days to break the life cycle of the lice. For stubborn cases, you may wish to use 1% gamma benzene hexachloride daily for two days as a shampoo and reapplied in 10 days. Avoid prolonged use of the insecticide as it can cause genital skin irritation, especially in males.
LIFE EXPECTANCY (life span) or the longevity potential for man is 120-140 years; yet the average life span based on insurance actuary tables are only 72 for American males and 78 for American females. This leaves a 40-50 year differential that we can work towards with hopeful expectations. The Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists live to 82 on the average by avoiding caffeine, alcohol, fried foods, and drugs. That's a gain of 6.5 years. The use of water filtration systems in the home, the use of air filters and conditioners for the home and work place as well as employing the base line nutrition program can add 10 to 20 to 40 healthful years to your life. The use of digestive aids (i.e., betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymes) will add an additional 10 years to your life. Together, these measures add a total of 20 to 50 years when you actively and aggressively seek a healthful life.
The Hunza secret of longevity (average of 100 years with a top end of 140 - 160 years) is the daily consumption of an optimal supply of grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts that are rich in plant derived colloidal minerals.
Exercise alone without attention to food allergies, digestive aids, colloidal minerals, and avoiding pollutants will only shorten your life and make what life you do have very sweaty.
Take responsibility for you own health and you will add 20 to 50 more years of life. Remember that 40% of all patients in the hospital are there because of iatrogenic disease (doctor created). This statistic doesn't account for the number who died outside of the hospital because of mistakes in prescriptions, mistakes in diagnosis, and mistakes in procedures.
LIVER DISEASE (cirrhosis, nonviral hepatitis) can be diagnosed by blood test showing elevation in SGOT, SGPT, GGT, alkaline phosphatase, and bilirubin. Elevated ketones in the urine are clues to liver disease as well as faulty carbohydrate metabolism. Jaundice and problems with delayed clotting times and a swollen tender liver (under the ribs at the right upper quadrant), dry itchy skin (a result of problems with essential fatty acid metabolism), anemia (iron storage and B-12/folic acid) deficiencies, weight loss, and ketosis are all symptoms of liver disease. Also see gallbladder disease.
Treatment of liver disease includes IV or oral chelation with complete IV supplementation including amino acids and interlipids, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, vitamin A at 10,000 to 300,000 IU per day as beta carotene, B-complex at 100 mg each t.i.d., selenium at 500-1000 mcg per day, B12 at 1,000 mcg per day, folic acid at 15-25 mg per day, essential fatty acids (both salmon oil and flaxseed oil) at 1 gm t.i.d., and herbs including tamarac (Larix americana), parsley (Carum petroselinum), hemp acrimony (Eupatorium cannabium), and milk thistle (Silybum marianum). Don't forget the base line nutrition program and colloidal minerals and avoid fried foods and margarine.
LOCKJAW (tetanusis caused by the toxin (waste product) of Clostridium tetani, which is a normal anaerobic inhabitant of animal manure. Puncture wounds contaminated by this organism cause the production of tetanus toxin which paralyzes the voluntary muscles including the jaw muscles (masseter) which gives the disease its name. Prevention of the infection is the best of the alternatives. Squeeze the puncture wound to make it bleed out the toxin. Small puncture wounds of the foot or hands may require opening to allow cleaning with soap and water. Follow this cleaning with disinfection with 3% hydrogen peroxide. Take cramp bark tea (Viburnum opulus) in tablespoon doses as needed. These very minimal procedures prevent lockjaw virtually 100% of the time.
Treatment of lockjaw after it develops requires the use of tetanus neutralizing non-fixed toxin. Clean infected wound, disinfect wound with hydrogen peroxide, use penicillin at two million units IV q 6 h or tetracycline at 500 mg IV q6 h, sedation to control muscle spasms, and IV fluids and electrolytes until the patient can eat and drink on their own.
LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS (SLE) is considered a connective tissue disease of unknown causes. It is of interest that 90 percent of all cases of SLE are diagnosed in women in their 30s. The orthodox theory is that SLE is an autoimmune disease that causes the patient's own antibodies to attack themselves. The fact is the autoimmune defect occurs as a result of the disease and the presence of abnormal proteins rather than being the cause. Multiple mineral deficiencies of sulfur, copper, selenium, etc. are characteristically present. The classical symptoms of SLE usually begin suddenly with fever, fatigue, arthritis, and/or joint pain. Because of this, many SLE patients are misdiagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis. Also present are a characteristic facial butterfly rash (typical of allergies), severe alopecia (hair loss), and papular skin lesions. Diagnosis of SLE includes recognition of a fever with the facial butterfly rash, poly arthritis, kidney disease, leukopenia (low WBCs), elevated blood globulins, and the presence of LE cells (these only occur in 70% of SLE and are normal WBCs that have engulfed a nucleus from a destroyed cell).
Do the pulse test to determine allergies (i.e., wheat, cow's milk, and soy are the most common). Treatment of SLE includes avoidance of offending food allergens, fried foods, and margarine and rotation of non allergic foods to prevent acquiring new allergies, chelation with total nutrition for 15-25 infusions, essential fatty acids (salmon oil and flaxseed oil) at 5 gm t.i.d., selenium oat 500 - 1,000 mcg per day, and B-carnitine at 500 mg per day. Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula is very useful for SLE.
LYME DISEASE (LD, Lyme arthritis) is a spirochete bacterial disease that is transmitted by ticks. The disease was first described in 1975 in Lyme, Connecticut. Three to 32 days after being bitten by an infected tick a skin lesion known, as an ECM (erythema chronicum migrans) will appear on the thigh, buttock, or armpit. The lesion expands to a diameter of 50 cm and the lesion feels hot to the touch. There will be recurrent attacks of arthritis, fatigue, shills, fever, stiff neck, sore muscles, nausea, and vomiting. Heart disease in the form of cardiomegaly and AV-block occur in 8 percent of patients.
Diagnosis of Lyme disease required a high degree of awareness of the disease. Lyme disease occurs most often in children who play out in the grass or deep woods, or those who have a dog that goes out into the woods and brings home the Ixodes dammini tick. The disease occurs in clumps along the northeastern coast of the U.S., Wisconsin, California, and Oregon. Patients may initially be misdiagnosed as having rheumatoid arthritis and WBCs are elevated at 25,000; special blood tests for antibodies are required for specific diagnosis.
Treatment of Lyme Disease requires the use of tetracycline at 250-500 mg q.i.d. for 20 days. IV antibiotics over a period of 30 days will ensure a 100% cure. In children where teeth would be permanently discolored by tetracyclines, penicillin can be used at 20 million u/day IV in divided doses.
