PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME (PMS, hysteria) has a long history in "orthodox" medicine. Historically the treatment for PMS was hysterectomy (derived from hysteria) since removal of the ovaries and uterus "cured" all of the cyclical emothional symptoms leaving a precipitous menopause, which could be palliated with estrogen. It is now known that deficiencies of calcium and essential fatty acids in concert with the cyclical hormone patterns of the women produce the classical PMS picture of fragile emotions, irrational behavior, mania, depression, and debilitating pelvic "cramps."
Treatment of PMS includes 100 mg B6 q 4 d, EFA at 5 grams t.i.d., vitamin A at 300,000 IU per day as beta carotene during the last 14 days of the cycle, vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU/day, calcium (especially plant derived colloidal sources), and herbs including mistletoe (Viscum album), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), and blue cohosh (Caulophyllus thalictroides). Don't forget to supplement with the entire compliment of the 90 essential nutrients.
POISON IVY causes a contact papular dermatitis that produces a severe itch. Treatment of poison ivy dermatitis includes topical application of vinegar, Caladryl, Aloe vera, poultices of Solomon's seal (Polygonatum multiflorum), golden seal (Hydrastis canadensis), and plantain (Plantago major).
POOR CIRCULATION can be caused by cardiovascular disease (arteriosclerosis, low thyroid, magnesium deficiency, and vitamin E deficiency). Symptoms include cold hands and feet and numb tingling fingers and toes.
Treatment of poor circulation included EDTA chelation, the highest quality (with no contaminents) hydrogen peroxide IV (oxygen source) administered slowly, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU/day, massage, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, and herbs including ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba), English hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha), horsetail (Equisetum arvense), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria majailis), rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris), and cayenne pepper (Capsicum minimum).
POX: see chicken pox
POST PARTUM HEMORRHAGE is the result of an atonic uterus that failed to contract hard enough and long enough, allowing the open vessels to leak blood. On occasion a piece of afterbirth will remain attached to the uterine lining and is the source of the bleeding.
Treatment of post partum hemorrhage should include firm digital pressure on the fundus of the uterus to stimulate contraction, and the use of ergot (Claviceps purpurea) orally at 10-20 minims (a minim is an old apothecary term meaning approximately 1 drop) or by injection will add sufficient contraction power.
PREGNANCY LABOR (labor) can be enhanced by the use of herbs including raspberry (Rubus idaeus) and blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides).
PREGNANCY TOXEMIA (eclampsia) is the result of low protein, low salt diets entered into in an attempt to prevent excess weight gain in pregnancy. The first thoughts of restriction of weight gain occurred at the turn of the century when "orthodox" OB/GYN practitioners learned that low birth weight babies could be delivered faster and, thus, allow more calls in one day. Symptoms of preeclampsia include sudden weight gain (because of fluid accumulation as a result of low blood protein), high blood pressure, and albuminuria. Eclampsia includes the symptoms of preeclampsia plus convulsions and/or coma. Both preeclampsia and eclampsia characteristically occur after the 20th week of pregnancy. The current "orthodox" treatment is hospitalization, and watching until convulsions occur and then give barbiturates.
Treatment of preeclampsia should include a high animal protein meal plan (150 gm or more whereas the RDA is 40 gm), no restriction of salt, and B6 at 100 mg per day. Drop to 50 mg per day at parturition (birth) if you plan to breast feed as high levels of B6 will reduce production of breast milk, In addition to the base line nutritional supplement program for all 90 essential nutrients, patients should receive 10-12 glasses of water and/or juice per day, especially in the warm summer months.
PROSTATE HYPERPLASIA (benign prostate hyperplasia): see benign prostate hyperplasia
PSORIASIS is well known as a cosmetically disfiguring dermatitis (i.e. "the heartbreak of psoriasis"). Psoriasis is characterized by dry, well-demarcated silvery, scaling plaques of all sizes that appear primarily behind joints (i.e. elbows and knees) and on the scalp and behind the ears. Celiac disease type changes in the intestine lead to malabsorption of essential nutrients causing psoriasis. Do a pulse test to determine specific food allergens, rotation diets, folic acid at 15-25 mg per day, vitamin A at 300,000 IU per day as beta-carotene, lecithin at 2,500 mg t.i.d. with meals, EFA at 5 grams b.i.d., vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU per day, zinc at 15 mg t.i.d., copper at 2 mg per day, selenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day, and betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymes at 75-200 mg per day. Topical herbal washes are of palliative value as are topical pureed onions, topical pureed cucumbers, and topical vitamin A&D creams.
PYORRHEA (periodontal disease): see perodontal disease
Q FEVER is an acute rickettsial disease caused by Coxiella burnetii and characterized by sudden onset, fever, headache, weakness, and pneumonitis. Q fever has a worldwide distribution and is maintained as an endemic infection in domestic animals. Sheep, goats, and cattle are the primary reservoirs for human infections. The infection is spread to humans by bites from the infected tick, Dermacentor andersoni, and from consuming infected raw milk. Diagnosis is made from a positive blood test. Treatment of Q fever should include tetracycline orally at 250 mg q 4 h. Chloramphenicol may be used in small children to prevent discoloration of permanent teeth by tetracycline.
QUINSY (peritonsillar abscess) is an infection of the tonsil between the tonsil and the paryngeal constrictor muscle. These infections are rare in children but common in young adults. The "orthodox" EENT will want to do a tonsillectomy. DON'T LET HIM DO IT! SAVE YOUR TONSILS! Treatment should include vitamin A at 300,000 IU per day as beta-carotene, zinc at 50 mg t.i.d., vitamin C to bowel tolerance, gargles with herbal washes, and penicillin G or V at 250 mg q 6 h for 12-14 days.
