TACHYCARDIA (rapid heartbeat) is characterized by rapid heart beat. Tachycardia can be caused by "nervous heart," hyperthyroidism, food allergies, hypoglycemia, nutritional deficiencies (i.e. B1, B3, selenium, etc.), poisons, and organic heart diseases. A classic example is allergy to MSG or "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome."
Treatment of tachycardia should include the identification and treatment of the underlying cause, acupuncture, slenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day, B1 at 100 mg t.i.d., B3 at 450 mg t.i.d. as time release tablets, subliminal relaxation tapes, and herbs including English hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha), hops (Humulus lupulus), lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), mother wort (Leonurus cardica), valerian (Valeriana officinalis), and lily-of-the-valley (Convallariana magalis).
TAPEWORMS (cestodes) can set up housekeeping in your intestines without causing any noticeable problem in a well-nourished person, but cause wasting weight loss and anemia. Tapeworms are contracted by eated contaminated watercress, raw fish, raw beef, or raw pork. The encysted larvae are released into the digestive tract and attach to the intestinal wall by suckers or hooks in their head. Diagnosis of tapeworms may be made by seeing segments on the surface of the bowel movement. They look like grains of rice that are moving. They can also be diagnosed by observing eggs in microscopic examination of the stool. See parasites in laboratory section. Prevention of tapeworms is related to cooking fish and meat before consumption and thoroughly washing vegetables.
Treatment of tapeworms requires the use of a single dose of niclosamide at 2 gm taken with a glass of water. Recheck stool in 3-6 months for reinfestation. Retreat if needed. Herbs may be helpful including garlic (Allium sativum) and male fern (Dryopteris Felixmas). Pretreating herbal remedies for tapeworms with a teaspoon of castor oil in the morning before treatment increases the efficiency.
TARDIVE DYSKINESIA (spasms of facial muscles) is on the increase as a side effect of heavy tranquilizer (phenothiazines) usage.
Treatment of tardive dyskinesia should include the discontinuation of the inducing drugs, B3 at 450 mg t.i.d. as time release tablets, phosphatidyl choline at 30 gm per day, B6 at 200 mg q.i.d., essential fatty acids at 5 gm t.i.d., manganese at 10-15 mg per day, and vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU per day.
TEETH DISCOLORATION (tetracycline) with reduced enamel thickness is a common side effect of prolonged administration of tetracyclines during the second half of pregnancy or during early tooth development. The affected teeth will be brown or gray and fluorescent orange-green in ultraviolet light. Prevention is the name of the game. Cosmetic capping is necessary if permanent teeth are affected.
TEETHING can be an uncomfortable event for infant and parents with painful local swellings, sudden fever, irritability, and diarrhea (especially irritating with severe diaper rash).
Treatment of teething includes Tylenol or aspirin drops (follow label directions) and herbs including German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) as teaspoon doses as needed.
TMJ (temporal-madibular joint syndrome) is characterized by headaches, misalignment of teeth, popping the TM joints while talking or eating, etc. This syndrome is related to carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive motion syndrome in that all three are caused by deficiencies of arsenic, manganese, and choline.
Treat for osteoporosis and be sure to include colloidal arsenic, manganese, and choline. Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis Formula works like a charm here.
TESTICULAR ATROPHY is not uncommon in aging men or following an episode of mumps. Testicular atrophy may result in decreased sexual drive and feminization.
Treatment of testicular atrophy should include zinc at 20 mg t.i.d., plant derived colloidal minerals, an herbal combination mixed with testosterone (Zumba), ginseng (Panax ginseng), and saw palmetto (Sarenoa serrulata).
THALLIUM POISONING (rat or insect baits) can accidentally occur when small children get into pesticides containing thallium salts. Thallium poisoning can be rapidly fatal if not treated promptly. Symptoms include bloody vomiting and diarrhea, oral irritations with severe salivation, tremors, facial palsy, and hair loss in 3-4 weeks in survivors.
Treatment for tahllium poisoning should include contact with poison control centers and syrup of ipecac to induce vomiting at 15-30 ml (1-2 tbsp.) for children and adults. Follow the syrup with several pints of water until vomiting occurs. Then take one tbsp. activated charcoal in a glass of water. Control convulsions with diazepam. Chelation therapy is of no value for thallium poisoning.
THRUSH (oral candidiasis) is an oral yeast infection caused by Candida albicans. Thrush is characterized by creamy white patches that can be scraped off with a tongue depressor. Candida albicans is a ubiquitous nonpathogenic yeast under normal circumstances which becomes pathogenic and invades other tissue when the host's ability to defend itself is lost through malnutrition, chemotherapy, AIDS, et. Also occurs when the competing intestinal organisms are killed out (i.e. antibiotic therapy, etc.). Diagnosis can be made from the characteristic lesions or by looking at the exudate under the microscope.
Treatment of thrush includes the use of oral washes and gargling with hydrogen peroxide. Small infants unable to gargle may have to have topical Nystatin applied to the lesions. The underlying condition must also be dealt with to allow you to defend yourself against reinfection. Vitamin C to bowel tolerance, selenium at 25-1,000 mcg per day, vitamin E at 800-1,200 IU per day, vitamin A at 25,000-300,000 IU per day as beta-carotene, and zinc at 15 mg t.i.d. are of great value in restoring the immune status. Following extended antibiotic therapy (i.e. acne, rheumatic fever, cystic fibrosis, etc.), you can restore the competitive organisms into the bowel (to help keep yeast numbers down) by the use of Lactobacillus acidophilus. Administer Lactobacillus at ten capsules twice each day between meals for ten days each month to restore normal colon count; a retension enema with the Lactobacillus will assure reimplantation.
TINNITUS (ringing or buzzing in the ear) is characterized by a ringing or buzzing in the ear. "Orthodox" doctors suggest that "surgery is of no value; if you can't tolerate the ringing, play background music." In reality, there are a variety of causes of tinnitus including hypertension, lead, mercury toxicity, nutritional deficiencies, osteoporosis (connectissue sqeezes the 8th cranial nerve), food allergies, and/or hypoglycemia. Do the necessary laboratory work to make a specific diagnosis including the pulse test, six-hour GTT, and hair analysis. Take the base line nutritional program.
Treatment of tinnitus should include the treatment of the underlying disease. Avoid offending food allergens, avoid sugar and all refined foods, take zinc at 15 mg t.i.d., tin from plant derived colloidal minerals, EFA at 5 grams t.i.d., vitamin A at 300,000 IU per day as beta-carotene, calcium and magnesium at 2,000 and 1,000 mg per day, and betaine HCl and pancreatic enzymees at 75-200 mg t.i.d. 15 minutes before meals. Using Dr. Wallach's Pig Arthritis simplifies the whole process.
TIREDNESS (chronic fatigue syndrome): see chronic fatige syndrome.
TONSILLITIS is characterized by an inflamed sore throat caused by viruses or Streptococcus organisms. Treament of tonsillitis should include hydrogen peroxide mouthwash and gargle, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, vitamin A at 25,000-300,000 IU per day as beta-carotene, zinc at 15 mg t.i.d., selenium at 25-1,000 mcg per day, herbs to include echynacia (Echynacia angustifolia), green hellebore (Veratrum viride), marshmallow (Althaea officinalis), flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum), German chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla), marjoram (Origanum vulgare), and garden sage (Salvia officinalis).
TOOTHACHE is usually caused by cavities (caries) that are stimulated to pain by sweets and cold or hot drinks.
Treatment of caries and toothache should include filling of the tooth with non-metallic composite (fiberglass). Avoid a stimulus that initiates pain. Acupuncture and herbs to include penny royal Mentha pulegium, lavender (Lavandula spp.), gelsemium (Gelsemium nitidum), and, as necessary, OTC analgesics (i.e. aspirin, Tylenol) or Tylenol-3 from your pharmacy.
TORTICOLLIS SPASMODIC (wryneck) is caused by spasms of the neck muscles and/or "subluxations" of the cervical vertebrae. Torticollis may be caused by "whiplash" injuries, calcium deficiencies, and/or muscular dystrophy.
Treatment of torticollis should include chiropractic, massage therapy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, calcium and magnesium at 2,000 and 1,000 mg per day, selenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day, and viatmin E at 800-1,200 IU per day.
TOXIC SHOCK SYNDROME (TSS) is caused by an exotoxin produced by a Staphylococcus organism. The exotoxin is similar to if not identical to that which is produced by Staph food poisoning. Approximately 15 percent of those affected are men via food poisoning; the reaminder are young women between 13-32 years of age. The syndrome is precipitated by improper use of vaginal tampons. Use of a single tampon for longer than four hours produces an ideal environment for Staphylococcus growth. TSS is characterized by high fever, sudden onset, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion, skin rash, headache, and sore throat with rapid deterioration and death within 48 hours. Prevention is the best policy with TSS, so avoid prolonged use of individual tampons, and avoid food poisoning by proper food handling. Treamtment of toxic shock syndrome is a medical emergency requiring rapid emergency room care. DO NOT LET THEM MAKE YOU WAIT IN THE HALL. Treatment should include IV fluids and electrolytes, as well as penicillin to kill the Staphylococcus.
TOXOPLASMOSIS (cat coccidia) is caused by an intermediate stage of a house cat intestinal protozoa (Isospora bigemina). The intermediate stage in humans ws originally named Toxoplasma gondii and the "orthodox" doctors refuse to admit that it is a cat parasite. "Toxoplasmosis" in man is characterized by a generalized brain disease. Toxoplasmosis is acquired in man from inhaling or swallowing dust from contaminated "kitty litter" boxes or outdoor sand piles or from eating rare beef. "Toxoplasmosis" is of particular danger to pregnant women as infection will cause birth defects in the fetus (i.e. brain defects, blindness, mental retardation). Symptoms in adults can mimic the flu, causing headache, rash, high fever, swollen lymph nodes, meningitis, hepatitis, pneumonitis, myocarditis, blindness, and diarrhea. Diagnosis of "toxoplasmosis" is made from a positive blood test or skin test following a high level of suspicion. Prevention of "toxoplasmosis" in pregnant women is related to avoiding cats just prior to and during, pregnancy (i.e. move cat to grandma's house temporarily), and eating well-cooked meats.
Treatment of "toxoplasmosis" should include trisulfapyrimidine orally at 25 mg (1 mg/kg for kids) daily for four weeks.
TRIGLYCERIDES (Elevated) can be a sign of diabetes, a liver disease, and deficiencies of EFA, chromium, and vanadium. Do a six-hour GTT and a full blood chemistry. Elevated triglycerides are a high risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. Do a pulse test to determine if food allergies are involved.
Treatment of elevated triglycerides should include moderate exercise (walking), avoidance of sugar, avoidance of refined foods, essential fatty acids at 5 gm t.i.d., high fiber and raw foods diet and the elimination of red meat, chromium at 100-200 mcg t.i.d., selenium at 500-1,000 mcg per day, plant derived colloidal minerals, vitamin C to bowel tolerance, and the base line nutritional supplement program.
