MACULAR DEGENERATION (spots of the eye): spotty atrophy and free radical degeneration of the retina of the eye. A common cause of blindness in aging individuals, it is characterized by "snow" vision.
Treatment approach includes elimination of all fried foods and margarine, elimination of all sugar (natural and processed) supplement with all 90 essential nutrients (including selenium - 500 mcg., vitamin E - 1,200 iu., methionine), taurine 2 - 5 grams per day, and the 60 essential minerals in the plant derived colloidal form.
MALABSORPTION: see celiac disease, food allergies, and hypochlorhydria.
MALIGNANCY (cancer): see cancer
MALNUTRITION can occur as an overt nutritional deficiency or secondary to extended use of medications that interfere with absorption of nutrients or malabsorption of nutrients as a result of celiac disease or hypo-chlorhydria. Orthodox doctors tend to think of malnutrition as protein/calorie deprivation and fail to recognize macro and micro nutrient deficiencies either singly or in complex multiples, especially in their early stages. Orthodox doctors also fail to recognize that celiac disease changes in the small intestine lining occur as a result of subclinical allergies to wheat, cow's milk albumen and soy as well as other foods (i.e., rye barley beef, eggs, etc.).
In reality, adult onset diabetes and hypoglycemia are deficiencies of chromium and vanadium frequently created by malabsorption as a result of celiac type changes in the small intestine. Cystic fibrosis is, in reality, a deficiency of selenium and essential fatty acids of the embryo and newborn brought on by celiac disease type changes in the pregnant mother and continued in the breast fed and developing infant. Arthritis is, in fact, a deficiency of calcium complicated by excess phosphorus in the American diet, and cancer appears to be the result of a depressed immune system that has run out of essential nutrients, including selenium required to keep itself in constant repair. As wild as it seems, malnutrition as a result of malabsorption appears to be the common denominator of almost all degenerative disease. Liquid plant derived colloidal minerals are the most efficient way to get minerals into malnourished humans.
MANIA (manic depression, Bi-polar disease); see depression, food allergies, hypoglycemia.
MEASLES (rubeola) is a highly contagious viral disease with a sudden onset, cough, nasal drainage, conjunctivitis, Koplik's spots (eruptions on the oral and labial mucosa), and a pimple like skin rash that starts on the head and neck and spreads to the body, arms, and legs. Elevated temperature to 104ºF is common. Pneumonia and encephalitis are unusual and potentially fatal side effects. Measles today affect young teenagers and young adults and less often infants. The incubation of measles is 7-14 days with the diagnostic Koplik's spots appearing four days after the fever starts. Having had measles once gives life long immunity.
Treatment of measles should include topical OTC products to relieve itching (i.e., Caladryl), herbs including salves made of marigold (Calendula officinalis) and orally columbine (Aquilegia vulgaris) yarrow (Achillea millefolium), and pleurisy root (Asclepias tuberose).
MEASLES, GERMAN (rubella, three-day measles) is a contagious viral disease that produces mild symptoms in children including swollen lymph nodes of the head and neck. The incubation period is 14-21 days and overt symptoms may be absent in teenagers and adults. The typical skin rash occurs first on the face then spreads quickly to the body and limbs with a general body flush not unlike scarlet fever. Adults may have enlarged lymph nodes on the head and neck and adult males may complain of brief testicular pain. RUBELLA IS A DANGEROUS DISEASE IN PREGNANT WOMEN THAT CAN INDUCE SPONTANEOUS ABORTIONS AND BIRTH DEFECTS, VACCINES FOR GERMAN MEASLES CAN CAUSE SIMILAR BIRTH DEFECTS AS THE DISEASE SO ARE TO BE AVOIDED DURING PREGNANCY.
Treatment for rubella is the same symptomatic and supportive therapy as that used for the nine-day measles.
MELASMA (chloasma, mask of pregnancy) is dark brown spots with distinct margins found on the face and forehead of pregnant women and women on birth control hormones. Sunlight darkens the pigment and these are sometimes called sunspots. The spots may fade after childbirth. Susceptible individuals should use sunscreens while exposed to the sun. These spots are cosmetic in nature and appear to be of no consequence to health.
MEMORY LOSS (senile dementia, Korsakoff's syndrome, Alzheimer's) can be much more devastating than a physical disability. There are a variety of causes of memory loss and it is suggested that you look up each one separately including food allergies and hypoglycemia. You should do the pulse test to determine allergies or sensitivities to various foods and do a 6-hour GTT to rule in or rule out hypoglycemia.
Treatment of memory loss should include avoidance of offending food allergens, sugar, fried food, and margarine, avoidance of alcohol, the taking of chromium and vanadium at 25-200 mcg t.i.d., selenium at 200-1,000 mcg per day, vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU per day, B-complex at 50 mg t.i.d., Diapid (vasopressin) at 12-16 U/day (this is a nasal spray), Lucidril (centrophenoxine) at 4.4-8.0 gm/day. Dinagen (piracetam) at 1.5-4.8 gm/day (should take choline with this product), and hydergine at 9-20 mg per day.
MENARCHE (menstruation, period) is the regular monthly cycle of women that alternates ovulation (mid-cycle approximately at day 14) with periods (the 3-7 day discharge of blood and uterine lining) at the end of the cycle. Periods will frequently stop in women athletes and women who drop below 20% body fat. The stopping of a period is of no health consequence in and of itself, but is a signal that you may be too thin for a normal cycle and ovulation. Painful periods or PMS are not uncommon and can be severe enough to force bed rest. These extreme symptoms are usually the result of calcium and/or EFA deficiencies.
Treatment of painful or excessive menses (heavy flow) can include OTC products (i.e., Midol) and/or herbs such as snapdragon (Linaria vulgaris), Bethroot (Trillium erectum), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemose), blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides), tamarac (Larix americana), alpine ragwort (Senecio fuchsii), Ladies mantle (Alche milla vulgaris), St. Johns wort (Hypericum perforatum), shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), white dead nettle (Lamium album) and yarrow (Achillea millefolium), essential fatty acids (salmon oil and flaxseed oil) at 5 gm t.i.d., vitamin E at 800-1,200ZIU/day, selenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day, iron at 25-50 mg per day (especially for vegetarian women who do not eat red meat or liver regularly). Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula supplies significant amounts of calcium and magnesium.
MENINGITIS (infection of the brain and spinal cord covering) can be caused by a variety of organisms including bacteria (i.e., Neisseria meningitides, Hemophilis influenza, Streptococcus (Diplococcus) pheumoniae, Listeria monocytogenes), fungi, and hundreds of viruses. There is great danger in this disease in that infants with meningitis often only show a fever and lethargy and there is a blood-brain barrier that prevents most medications from getting into the inner surface of the meninges or into the space beneath the meninges and into the brain itself. Symptoms of meningitis vary considerably but usually include a sore throat, fever, headache, stiff neck, and vomiting. Children and adults may become critically ill in 6-24 hours after the first appearance of symptoms. If you suspect meningitis, this is one disease that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment GET PATIENT TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM IMMEDIATELY AND DEMAND IMMEDIATE HELP. Meningitis patients often die because they have waited 2-4 hours in an emergency waiting room.
Treatment of meningitis requires rapid diagnosis (spinal tap) and injection of antibiotics into the subdural space under the meninges), total IV fluid and electrolyte support, and very frequently mechanical respirators. MENINGITIS IS NOT A SELF-HELP DISEASE.
MENINGOCELE (severe anencephila or spina bifida) is a severe birth defect that results in exposure of the brain or spinal cord and its coverings (meninges) because of improper formation of the skull or vertebrae. This birth defect is caused by a deficiency of folic acid, B12, or zinc and vitamin A during early pregnancy. These deficiencies may be the result of deficient diets and/or malabsorption syndromes in the pregnant mother. Severe cases may be debilitating or fatal. A large cluster of anencephila babies born to migrant workers occurred in McAllen, Texas in the earl 90s. This cluster is thought by public health authorities to be due to some chemical pollutant. It actually appears to be a folic acid and zinc deficiency in the winter diet of poor migrant workers living on corn tortillas.
Treatment of meningocele is limited to surgery. PREVENTION is the goal here! All women of childbearing age should be taking all 90 essential nutrients as a preconception, prenatal, and postnatal supplement.
MENKE'S KINKY HAIR SYNDROME is thought by the orthodox pediatrician to be a genetic disease, but it appears to be a malabsorption problem in early infancy (i.e., celiac disease) that results in a copper deficiency (along with other deficiencies). It has long been known in the veterinary field that a copper deficiency causes kinky wool disease. Retarded growth, anemia, progressive brain degeneration, sparse brittle, loss of hair color, arterial aneurysms, and scurvy-like bone disease (ostosis) are characteristic. Hair analysis will show very low copper levels and blood will show a low copper and low ceruloplasmin.
Treatment of Menke's syndrome includes dealing with the malabsorption problems (i.e., avoid wheat, cow's milk, and soy), supplement with digestive enzymes and betaine HCI, give copper IV at 200 ug/kg/day, and give copper orally at 1-2 mg per day after relief of symptoms.
