RINGING IN THE EARS (tinnitis, Miniar's disease, and Wallach's vertigo) can be caused by high blood pressure, drug side effects, and osteoporosis (fibrous connective tissue squeezing the 8th cranial nerve).
The bones of the body try to get stronger following the loss of mineral by generating connective tissue. The 8th cranial nerve can be squeezed as it passes through the skull into the inner ear. When the vestibular branch is squeezed, vertigo can be a feature; when the auditory branch is squeezed ringing in the ears occurs.
Treatment is directed toward lowering blood pressure, eliminating drug side effects, and reversing the osteoporosis with calcium 2000 mg and magnesium 1000 mg. Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula is the treatment of choice.
RINGWORM is caused by fungi that invades the skin, nails, and hair, and the skin lesions tend to be circular thus the name "ringworm." The organisms most frequently isolated are Microsporum spp. (Tinea capitis) and Trichophyton spp. (Tinea cruris or jock itch). Cats, rabbits, and children are the most common source of infection. Diagnosis is made by seeing the characteristic lesions, culture of the fungi, and positive reaction to the Woods lamp (lesions of Microsporum will fluoresce a bright pastel green).
Treatment of ringworm should include Griseofulvin orally at 250 mg q.i.d. for four months, vitamin A at 25,000-300,000 IU/day as beta carotene, zinc at 15 mg t.i.d., vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU/day, ultra violet light directly to lesion for up to six minutes per day, and herbs topically including plantain (Plantgo major) and castor oil (Ricinus communis).
ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER (tick fever) is caused by a rickettsia (Rickettsia rickettsii) which is transmitted to man by the bite of an infected tick (i.e. the wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni, the dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis, and the lone-star tick, Amblyomma americanum). Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever occurs May through October during the tick season and affects small children who have access to heavily wooded areas directly or indirectly via the family dog who brings home the infected ticks. Ninety percent of the reported cases occur along the Eastern seaboard and only 10 percent occur in adulty hunters from the mountain areas. The symptoms of RMSF follow 7-12 days after a tick bite and are characterized by headaches, chills, weakness, muscle pain, fever, and dry cough. A characteristic skin rash starts on wrists, ankles, palms, soles and forearms at first, then spreads to the neck, face, axilla, buttocks, and trunk, along with liver enlargement and pneumonitis with terminal cirulatory failure in untreated cases. DO NOT WAIT FOR A POSITIVE BLOOD TEST BEFORE INSTITUTING TREATMENT AS DEATH MAY OCCUR AS QUICKLY AS 4-10 DAYS AFTER APPEARANCE OF SYMPTOMS.
Treatment of RMSF should include tetracycline at 500 mg q.i.d. orally or IV if the patient can't swallow capsules. Supportive treatment with IV fluids and electrolytes is essential to rapid and full recovery.
ROSEOLA is an acute viral disease of infants and toddlers and is characterized by high fever (up to 105o F) and a rash that predominates on the belly and chest and lightly on the face and limbs. Convulsions may occur during the high fever periods. After 3-4 days, the child will feel completely well even though the rash persists. The course of the disease and distribution of the rash are diagnostic.
Treatment of roseola is directed to reducing the fever sufficiently to prevent convulsions and topical poultices on the rash (see measles).
SCABIES (itch) is caused by an almost microscopic "mite" (Sarcoptes scabiei) that burrows into the skin. This mite is very contagious from person to person. The original infestation usually comes from an infected animal or contaminated animal bedding.
Treatment of scabies includes total body application of 1 percent gamma benzene hexachloride, 25 percent benzyl benzoate cream in adults, and 5-10 percent sulfur ointment in infants to avoid potential neurotoxicity; poke (Phytolacca decandra) may be used topically as a natural alternative.
SCARLATINA (scarlet fever) is caused by a Streptococcus Group A throat infection. The organism releases a toxin that produces a rash that is most common on the belly, sides, and skin folds and a red pulpy "strawberry" tongue. Fever in the early stages is common. Before the advent of antibiotics, deadly epidemics of scarlatina swept through the young populations. Aggressive treatment is recommended to prevent death or rheumatic fever from developing. Diagnosis is made from the characteristic lesions and positive throat cultures of Streptococcus Group A.
Treatment of scarlatina is oral penicillin V at 250 mg q.i.d. for 10-14 days.
SCHIZOPHRENIA ("split" personality): see bi-polar brain disease. There is considerable evidence to show that schizophrenia is the result of a severe niacin deficiency. The term "megavitamin" was coined to describe the large dose (4,000 mg/day) of niacin required to "cure" a schizophrenic.
SCIATICA (low back pain radiating down buttocks and legs) can be caused by "subluxations" of lumbar vertebrae, thinning of lumbar intervertebral disc, or even a thick wallet in one back pocket. In its most severe form, sciatica may be the result of advanced osteoporosis, bone spurs between the lumbar vertebrae, and vertebral arthritis.
Treatment of sciatica should include hydrotherapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, inversion-gravity therapy, calcium and magnesium at 2,000 mg per day and 1,000 mg per day, and the baseline nutritional supplement program. Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula is the treatment of choice here.
SCOLIOSIS (curvature of the spine) occurs in preteens and teens (80 percent in girls) during the rapid growth stages. The patient should be examined bending over facing away from the examiner. The spine is viewed for lateral deviations. Scoliosis may be a benign disease or herald the early stages of muscular dystrophy (MD). Scoliosis is basically caused by one set of the spinal muscles being stronger than the other (i.e. right side stronger than the left) which causes an "S" curve in the spine. These changes are the result of muscle degeneration (i.e. fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy). Prevention of scoliosis should include the religious consumption of the base line nutritional supplement program containing all 90 essential nutrients. Celiac disease type intestinal damage may be the cause of malabsorption syndromes leading to scoliosis.
Treatment of scoliosis in the early stages will result in a complete cure. Failure to aggressively take supplements will result in persistent damage requiring back braces and surgery. Treatment should include avoidance of offending food allergens, vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU per day, selenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day, calcium and magnesium at 2,000 mg and 1,000 mg per day, and the base line supplement program to include plant derived colloidal minerals. Chiropractic care can be very useful in relieving back muscle spasms associated with scoliosis.
SCURVY (bleeding gums) is caused by a vitamin C deficiency. Scurvy may occur concurrently with gingivitis (see periodontitis).
Treatment of scurvy should include vitamin C to bowel tolerance, increased green leafy vegetables and fruit intake, and herbs including dog rose (Rosa canina).
SEBACEOUS CYSTS (Wen, steatoma) are slow growing benign cystic cutaneous "tumors." They contain sebaceous material and are frequently found on the scalp (Wen), ears, back, breasts, or scrotum. The syst ranges in size from a pea to a golf ball, is firm (like a soft-shell egg) and painless.
Treatment of a sebaceous cyst includes a "stab" incision at the lowest edge of the cyst, evacuation of the contents, and flushing the site with hydrogen peroxide. Large cysts require removal of the cyst wall to prevent refilling of the cyst, placing a sterile gauze drain in the empty cyst, and gradual removal over a period of 7-10 days.
SEBORRHEIC DERMATIS (dandruff, cradle cap) is a scaling dermatitis of the scalp and face, the composition and amount of sebum are normal. Celiac disease type intestinal lesions can be the cause of a malabsorption syndrome.
Treatment of seborrheic dermatitis should include biotin at 100 mcg t.i.d., folic acid at 15-25 mg per day, B6 at 100 mg t.i.d., vitamin E at 800-1,200 mg IU per day, EFA at 5 grams t.i.d., vitamin A at 300,000 IU per day as beta-carotene, zinc at 15 mg t.i.d., and Selsun Blue shampoo topically.
