OBESITY (overweight, see diet) is a problem to various degrees in all industrialized nations and, in particular, the United States. Obesity has various causes and combinations of causes and is not a simple problem. Rendered down to its simplest terms, obesity is consuming and storing more calories than you are using. Starvation only complicates the correction of the problem as a starving body will shut off calorie consumption as an energy conversation move. To avoid this body maneuver, be sure to consume at least 1,000 calories per day. This way, a gradual but permanent loss of pounds and inches will occur. Moderate exercise in the form of walking, tennis, golf, swimming, and/or low impact aerobics (i.e., Chi Gong) is adequate. Don't forget the base line nutritional supplements, as your need for nutritional supplementation becomes critical when you are on a calorie-restricted diet. Ninety percent of obese people over eat and binge because empty calorie diets result in pica, a nibbling behavior caused by the body's search for trace minerals. Test for food allergies with the pulse test and do a six-hour glucose tolerance test to determine if you have hypoglycemia or diabetes. Remember a single fasting blood glucose test will miss 99.9 percent of all hypoglycemics and 85 percent of all diabetics.
Treatment of obesity is, in fact, a change in life style and habits requiring a complete commitment, just like the one required to stop smoking. Avoid offending food allergens avoid sugar in all forms (i.e., solids as well as liquids), avoid caffeine which lowers blood sugar and makes you hungry, avoid carbonated soft drinks which all are loaded with phosphates which will cause osteoporosis over the long haul, especially when you are already on a restricted diet, and drink filtered -- not distilled -- water. Distilled water is "hungry" water and will demineralize your bones over a long period of usage. Drink 8-10 glasses of water each day. Forty percent of your water normally comes from food. It only makes sense if you restrict your food, you will also restrict water unless you make a conscious effort to drink enough. Compulsive trips to the refrigerator are most often subliminal searches for water, especially if they occur right after meals. Use special salts to flavor meals (potassium salt with kelp is excellent).
DO NOT SKIP MEALS. Make breakfast your largest most complete meal. Lunch should be a moderate meal with animal protein and dinner should be a light soup and salad. Take salmon oil at 5 gm t.i.d with meals, flaxseed oil at one tbsp. b.i.d., two heaping tbsp. of nutritional fiber in an eight ounce glass of water before bed, glucomannan at 1 gm in eight ounces of water one hour before meals, and betaine HCI and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. 15 minutes before meals. Take thyroid starting at 1-3 grains. Too much will make you a little jittery and increase your heart rate as much as 10-20 beats/minute. Adjust your intake up or down in dosage as needed. If you get above six grains before you OD on thyroid, you have celiac disease type because of your intestine. Do pulse test and avoid allergens. Take herbal laxatives and/or herbal diuretic teas as necessary. Subliminal weight loss tapes can be very helpful (especially at the beginning). THIS PROGRAM IS VERY COMPLEX TO BEGIN WITH. CHANGE ALL OF THE FOOD IN YOUR HOUSE TO HELP YOU GET STARTED. AFTER YOU REACH YOUR WEIGHT GOALS. YOU CAN SIMPLIFY YOUR WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM.
OBSTRUCTION OF AIRWAYS (choking) will be heralded by the universal choking sign of both hands clutched at the throat and a loss of the ability to speak. This happens very frequently in restaurants and is often referred to as a restaurant coronary as most observers think the patient is having a heart attack. Prevention includes the stopping of talking while you are chewing and swallowing food (especially meat and firm raw vegetables such as carrots and beets). Treatment of choking includes: 1) putting your finger into the back of the throat and manually removing the obstruction, and 2) performing a Heimlich maneuver (standing behind the patient, lock your arms around them with hands locked just below the xiphoid cartilage and suddenly thrust/squeeze, for babies use hands only). If the obstruction is lodged and cannot be coughed out with the Heimlich maneuver, a tracheotomy must be performed as a lifesaving maneuver. The EMT's will not get there in time so you must act quickly. You must use whatever is available (i.e., pocket knife, steak knife, etc.). The location of the incision is half way between the base of the larynx (voice box) and the notch where the collar bones join the breast bone---it must be dead center and large enough to accommodate the empty barrel of a ball point pen which will provide enough airflow for survival. The EMTs will arrive after you have completed your surgery, however, the patient would have died if you waited for them. If the patient's heart has also stopped as a result of the choking, you will have to perform CPR after you have created the airway.
OLIGOSPERMIA (low sperm count) is usually the result of nutritional deficiencies and/or malabsorption syndromes. Do a pulse test to determine if food allergies and celiac type changes are a factor. Infertility if the usual red flag that raises the question of sperm count. Place one drop of a semen sample on a slide with a cover slip on top, observe at high power. The live sperm should be highly motile and appear as swirling waves like battalions of Chinese infantry.
Treatment for oligospermia includes avoidance of offending food allergens, fried foods and margarine, sugar and alcohol, double the base line nutritional supplementation for 30-60 days, acupuncture and herbs including ginseng (Panax ginseng) and herbal combinations such as Zumba that contain 500 mcg of testosterone.
OMPHALOCELE (umbilical hernia) is a birth defect characterized by a grape to basketball sized skin sac in the belly button that is lined with peritoneum (membrane lining of the abdominal cavity). The sac may contain fat and/or intestinal loops that can be pushed back into the abdominal cavity. This is a common birth defect that is caused by maternal deficiencies (and, thus, fetal deficiencies) of vitamin A and/or zinc.
Treatment of umbilical hernia requires surgery to repair the belly wall defect of the hernial ring (defect in the belly wall) is larger than your fingertip. If the defect is approximately the diameter of your fingertip you can heal this one at home without surgery. The technique is to place a golf ball sized ball of virgin wool on the hernia and tape it firmly down to the level of the skin. Three times each day, remove the wool ball and be sure the fat is pushed back into the belly cavity with the finger tip, at the same time, rub the hernial ring in a rotary fashion for several minutes to irritate it. Over a period of weeks to months, the defect will fill in and completely heal without surgery. A sclerosing oil or compound can be injected into the edge of the digit caliber hernial ring to get good closure.
ORGANIC BRAIN SYNDROME (pellagra, alcoholism, dementia, depression hyperkinesis, ADD, ADHD hypoglycemia, diabetes, PMS, paranoia, schizophrenia, and learning disabilities) is caused by a wide variety of nutritional deficiencies (i.e., niacin, B1, B12, folic acid, chromium, vanadium, lithium, etc.) and toxicities (i.e., alcoholism, lead poisoning, mercury poisoning-dental amalgam). Do a pulse test to determine if food allergies are a part of the syndromes and do a six hour GTT to rule in or rule out diabetes or hypoglycemia. Remember a single fasting blood glucose will miss 99.9 percent of the hypoglycemia and 85 percent of the diabetes. Treatment of organic mental disorders requires serious dedication to identify the underlying problems and dealing with them.
Treatment should include avoidance of food allergens including sugar, dairy, and wheat, rotation diets, betaine HCI and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. 15 minutes before meals, B3 (niacin) at 450 mg t.i.d. as time release tablets, essential fatty acids as salmon and flaxseed oils at 5 grams each t.i.d., chromium and vanadium at 25-200 mcg t.i.d., and zinc at 50 mg t.i.d. Don't forget the base line nutritional supplement program for all 90 essential nutrients.
ORNITHOSIS (parrot fever) is an infectious disease caused by Chlamydia psittaci. Parrot fever is transmitted by inhaling the contaminated dust from feathers, cage bedding, or feces of infected birds (i.e., parrots, parakeets, lovebirds, canaries, or pigeons). Parrot fever is characterized by an atypical pneumonia. Symptoms of parrot fever include fever, chills, weakness, loss of appetite, and dry coughing initially that develops into a productive cough. At first, parrot fever may be diagnosed as flu or confused with Legionnaires' disease or Q fever. Exposure to birds (especially sick ones) will offer a clue that Sherlock Holmes wouldn't miss. A blood test is required for specific diagnosis.
Treatment of parrot fever includes the use of tetracycline orally at 250-500 mg q.i.d. for 10-14 days, the cough should be controlled with codeine, and strict bed rest should be enforced as untreated and uncontrolled parrot fever can be fatal.
OSTEOARTHRITIS (degenerative arthritis): see arthritis. Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula is the treatment of choice here. Thousands of happy arthritis patients can't be wrong.
OSTEITIS FIBROSA (nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism) is also known as Paget's Disease. This is a bone disease that affects men more often than women (women getosteoporsis more frequently) and is characterized by a loss of hard bone which is replaced by fibrous connective tissue. The first signs of Paget's Disease occur in the dental arcade by separating the teeth and loss of teeth because of loss of jawbone. The weight bearing bones of the pelvis, femur, and tibia are next, very frequently there is a loss of stature as the bones undergo rearchitecturing, and kyphosis (dowagers hump). The cause is thought to be unknown by the orthodox doctors. In animals the cause is a reversed calcium/phosphorus dietary ratio intake in the presence of relatively large amounts of vitamin D; men tend to be out in the sun without their shirts more often than women. Diagnosis of Paget's Disease can be made by x-ray of the teeth in the earliest stages and x-ray of the weight bearing bones in the more advanced stages. The blood shows an elevated alkaline phosphatase (calcium and phosphorus are usually in the normal range) and an elevated parathyroid gland hormone. It is interesting to note that orthodox orthopedic doctors think of Paget's Disease as a viral infection.
Treatment of Paget's Disease should include a vigorous effort to correct the dietary calcium/phosphorus ratio, reduce or eliminate red meat intake, avoid phosphate containing soft drinks, avoid all phosphate containing supplements, reduce vitamin D intake and exposure (i.e., hats, long sleeve shirts, etc.), increase calcium and magnesium intake to 2,000 mg and 1,000 mg per day, take betaine HCI and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. 15 minutes before meals, and don't forget the base line nutritional supplement program--or to make it very simple--Dr. Wallich's Pig Arthritis Formula.
OSTEOPOROSIS IS A DECREASE IN BONE THAT USUALLY OCCURS IN OLDER INDIVIDUALS (MORE FREQUENTLY IN WOMEN). The big push by the orthodox doctors if for estrogen and fluoride supplementation, yet these two compounds alone do not solve the problem. In our personal experience osteoporosis is easy to prevent and cure with proper supplementation of stomach acid (HCI) and calcium. Do a pulse test to identify any food allergens that might be causing a celiac disease type change and malabsorption syndromes. The symptoms of osteoporosis are characterized by bone pain, joint pain, dowagers hump, and spontaneous fractures. Osteoporosis is the 12th most frequent cause of death in adults (following fractured hips, etc.).
Treatment of osteoporosis should include betaine HCI and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg t.i.d. 15 minutes before meals, and calcium and magnesium at 2,000 mg and 1,000 mg per day or more for the first 30 days. Estrogen may be contraindicated because of the potential carcinogenic effect: it is known to cause breast and uterine cancer. Don't forget the plant derived colloidal minerals that include calcium, magnesium, and boron. To make it simple again, use Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula.
OTITIS (earache, fluid behind the eardrum) is an inflammation of the inner parts of the ear. Otitis externa involves the outside of the eardrum and the ear canal. Otitis interna involves the middle of the eardrum and the eustachian tube. Otitis media involves the middle ear. The orthodox EENT approach is to give antibiotic eardrops and oral antibiotics in acute cases and to insert tubes into the eardrum to relieve pain in chronic cases. In reality, 95 percent of all otitis (earaches) is the result of a milk allergy. Do a pulse test before the eardrums are pierced and weakened unnecessarily. Milk allergies will cause a severe fever, painful earaches, and burst eardrums if not corrected. Treatment of otitis should include the use of hydrogen peroxide or mullein eardrops to help relieve local inflammation. Avoid cow's milk in all forms and be sure to take the base line nutritional supplement program. Aspirin or Tylenol may be necessary for pain relief. Antibiotics are only justified when a streptococcal sore throat or internal otitis is cultured positive for bacteria.
