RABBIT FEVER (tularemia) is caused by the bacteria, Francisella tularensis. This disease is contracted by skinning and dressing infected rabbits or ground squirrels (87 percent). The disease initially appears as a local ulceration at the infection site, and secondarily goes systemic causing typhoid like disease with diarrhea and pneumonia. High fever and recurring chills with drenching sweat are characteristic. I have had tularemia and my grandfather died from it as a result of skinning infected wild rabbits. Diagnosis comes following a high level of suspicion (appropriate history of wild rabbit contact), and the ulcerated primary lesion at the infection site is enough to make the diagnosis. Sputum cultures are highly infectious and labs should be warned of your suspicions. Treatment of tularemia is with streptomycin IM at 500 mg q 12 h until temperature drops into the normal range, then give tetracycline orally at 250 mg q.i.d. for 10-12 days.
RABIES (hydrophobia) is a highly dangerous viral disease that is transmitted by the blood, tissue (transplanted corneas, livers, kidneys, or hearts), urine, or saliva of infected animals or people. We are all aware of the dangers of bites from rabies infected bats, foxes, skunks, and unvaccinated dogs but most of us are not aware that many cases of fatal rabies occur following tissue transplants. Rabies in humans is a progressive paralytic disease that is often misdiagnosed as stroke, which is why rabies infected tissues get transplanted.
Many Americans spend over a hundred dollars to visit the "orthodox" doctor when their child gets bitten by the pet hamster, because of fears of rabies. Think about it; the incubation period of rabies is fourteen days. If you have had the hamster for three weeks or more, rabies is an impossible diagnosis. A free phone call to your veterinarian would be informational and save you a lot of money.
High risk research personnel can get preventative vaccinations for rabies. Treatment of rabies should be instituted quickly if survival is to be anticipated. Treatment includes the well known "rabies shots" every day for ten days and respiratory and fluid support in a hospital setting.
RACHITIC ROSARY (rickets) is the "beading" of the junction between the ribs and the rib cartilage. This is exclusively a malady of small children who are kept indoors and are not getting an oral source of vitamin D. The rachitic "rosary" is easily palpated. Treatment of the rachitic "rosary" should include oral vitamin D at 400-1,000 IU per day and the base line nutritional supplement program including calcium and magnesium. After the abnormal bony changes become normal, the vitamin D dose should be dropped to 250-400 IU per day. Be sure the patient receives daily exposure to sun for at least 30 minutes.
RADIAL NERVE PALSY ("Saturday night palsy") is the result of compressing the radial nerve against the humerus. Draping the arm over the back of a hard-backed chair for an extended period, such as a drunken stupor or deep sleep, usually causes this. A wrist "drop" and weakness characterize radial nerve palsy in the ability to extend the wrist and fingers. Sometimes there is a loss of sensory function between the first and second fingers. Treatment of radial palsy should include B-complex 50 t.i.d., topical DMSO, acupuncture, massage and hydrotherapy.
RAYNAUD'S DISEASE is characterized by tingling and numbness in the fingers (and sometimes the nose and tongue) which is caused by spasms of small arteries. The "orthodox" approach to Raynaud's disease is to cut sympathetic nerves and give anesthetics and tranquilizers. Food allergies can be the precipitating factor in Raynaud's disease when arteries are the target tissue. Do a pulse test to determine if food allergens area a problem. Rule out "thoracic inlet syndrome" (nerves or arteries coming out of the thorax are squeezed by muscles or bones). Treatment of Raynaud's disease should include calcium and magnesium at 2,000 mg per day and 1,000 mg per day respectively. Avoid offending food allergens, avoid caffeine (i.e. coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate, etc.), vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU per day, essential fatty acids at 5 grams t.i.d., 1-tryptophane at 500 mg t.i.d., acupuncture, chiropractic, and herbs to increase circulation such as cayenne pepper (Capsicum minimum).
RECTAL ITCHING can be caused by Candidiasis, food allergies, hemorrhoids, crabs, flease, and pinworms. Do a pulse test to rule in or rule out food allergies. Take the self-test, blood test, or skin test to determine infection with Candidia albicans. The diagnosis of pinworms requires the scotch tape test to identify the parasite eggs. The presence of fleas and/or hemorrhoids will require the use of a mirror for self examination of the anal folds. Treatment of rectal itching can be palliated with a variety of herbal washes (see hemorrhoids), Preparation H, sitz baths with herbal washes and/or hydrogen peroxide, along with specific treatments for parasites.
REYE'S SYNDROME occurs most frequently in young teens and usually in the fall and winter. Reye's syndrome is characterized by pneumonitis, nausea and vomiting, sudden change in mental status to deep depression, amnesia, agitation to coma and convulsions, fixed dilated pupils, and death in 42-80 percent. The cause of Reye's syndrome is thought to be consumption of aflatoxin (an exotoxin of the grain mold Aspergillus flavus). A typical liver necrosis is present on biopsy. Survivors show a 100 percent recovery of the liver tissue in twelve weeks after the attack. Treatment of Reye's syndrome include barbiturate anesthesia to lower intracranial pressure, IV fluids and electrolytes, pulmonary support, and exchange transfusions and dialysis. Take vitamin C IV at 5-10 gms per day, B-complex and B12 IV or IM, and selenium IM or IV at 250-500 mcg per day.
RHEUMATIC FEVER is caused by Streptococcus Group A infection (usually starts as a "strep throat"). Rheumatic fever is characterized by arthritis, skin rash, fever, heart valve inflammation, and brain signs (chorea). The residual valve damage is the most dangerous aspect of untreated rheumatic fever. Diagnosis of rheumatic fever is made from the typical symptoms and concurrent positive cultures of Streptococcus Group A. Treatment of rheumatic fever early in the course of the disease will prevent the heart damage. Treatment should include aspirin for joint pain and sulfadiazine orally at 500-1,000 mg/day for 1-2 years or penicillin G or V orally at 250,000 u. b.i.d. for two years.
RHEUMATISM (rheumatoid arthritis) is thought by "orthodox" rheumatologists to be a disease of the immune system. In reality, rheumatoid arthritis is caused initially by an infection by a PPLO (pleuropneumonia like organism) or Mycoplasma synovea that characteristically causes an upper respiratory infection and pneumonitis. These organisms secondarily attack the tendon sheaths, joint capsule membranes of the fingers and toes, and later, the larger joints of the shoulders and knees. This desease has been recognized and eliminated in the veterinary industry. Again the human population has been left out because the truth would eliminate an entire medical specialty. Remember the quote by the famous Dr. Arthur F. Coca: "I am a realist; as long as the profit is in the treatment of symptoms rather than in the search for causes, that's where the medical profession will go for its harvest."
Diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is made by biopsy of the joint membrane, x-ray, blood test (elevated SED RATE, positive for RA), and physical examination. The "orthodox" treatment is totally aimed at relieving symptoms (i.e. aspirin, gold shots, methotrexate, steroids). They claim great victory but statistics show that 75 percent of the rheumatoid arthritis patients improve in the first year without any treatment at all (up to 10 percent are disfigured and disabled despite "heroic" "orthodox" therapy).
Treatment of rheumatoid arthritis should include specific treatment for Mycoplasma synovea PPLO (Minocycline, tetracycline), for one year, IV and/or oral hydrogen peroxide, EDTA chelation, acupuncture, enterically coated bromeliad at 40 mg q.i.d., automimmune urine therapy, DMSO, 1-histidine at 1,000 mg t.i.d., EFA at 5 grams t.i.d., calcium and magnesium at 2,000 mg and 1,000 mg per day, selenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day, copper at 2-4 mg per day, B-6 at 100 mg t.i.d., cartilage (collogen, glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate) at 5 gm t.i.d., acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and herbs to include topical camphor (Cinnamonum camphora), black mustard (Brassica nigra), dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), grappie (Harpagophytum procumbens), juniper (Juniperus communis), stinging nettle (Urtica dioica), and sweet vernal grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum). Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula makes this program simple.
RICKETS is caused by a deficiency of vitamin D and is characterized by stunted growth, joint pain, and deformed long bones (i.e. bow legs, dropped wrists, "sickle shins," barrel chest, rachitic rosary, etc.).
Treatment of rickets includes supplementation with vitamin D at 400 IU orally b.i.d., calcium and magnesium at 2,000 mg and 1,000 mg per day, and exposure to sunshine for 30 minutes per day. Advanced cases will require orthotic correction and, in some cases, orthopedic surgery.
