The valvular murmurs showed a progressive decrease until they had disappeared entirely cheap zantac 150 mg without prescription treating gastritis through diet, as did also the extreme sighing and difficult respiration discount zantac 300mg fast delivery gastritis diet åâðîñåòü. Other cases complaining of heart irregularity with mild valvular trouble, have been materially benefited by crataegus. That it has an important place in our therapeutics, we have no doubt, but its exact place is not yet determined. Ellingwood’s American Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy - Page 161 Dr. Jernigan experimented very extensively with crataegus and believes it is superior to many heart remedies when correctly prescribed. He believed it to have a broader field of action; no accumulative effect; no toxic influence; no contraindications, and acts in harmony with the other remedies. It has a general curative effect upon the functional action of the central nervous system; upon every part of the circulatory apparatus; upon the urinary organs, and the processes of metabolism. It dispels gloomy forebodings, increases the strength, regulates the action of the heart, causes a general sense of well being. In its mental influence he thinks he sees a resemblance to the action of pulsatilla, and very often prescribed the two remedies in conjunction. The doctor is sure he has seen excellent results from crataegus in the treatment of diabetes insipidus, especially in children, a difficult condition to control. He gave ten drops of the specific medicine every two hours for a while, controlling a form of epilepsy that showed itself with the other symptoms. He believes the remedy given for diabetes influences innervation, improving the circulation, especially in the capillaries when there were cold extremities. All of his cases confirmed his faith in the remedy as an important one for this condition. Sharp, of Ohio, says that he finds crataegus indicated in the usual diseases of the heart, and gives it in conjunction with the very best possible treatment to put the system into normal condition with proper diet and attention to the action of the skin, kidneys, and bowels. He reports three cases of serious heart disease in patients above 78 where the results were highly satisfactory. Stouffer, of Pennsylvania, suffered from a number of mild attacks of paralysis of the left side. The heart was directly influenced; oppression heavy; constriction of the throat; all symptoms increasing by exertion. He combined ceataegus and scutellaria, two parts of the former to one part of the latter, adding oil of peppermint, a few drops for the flavor. Of this he took a drop or two on his tongue very often, or as needed, obtaining relief, not secured by any other measure. Ellingwood’s American Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy - Page 162 A greatly enlarged heart in a young man of sixteen with the symptoms usually present in older patients with precordial bulging was permanently benefited until a permanent cure seemed to be possible, by five drop doses of crataegus every three hours persisted in, over a period of several months. He had enlargement of the right side of the heart, the oppressed breathing at times being very severe. In a paroxysm, he took eight drops of crataegus every fifteen minutes with almost immediate relief. Young women, who from any cause suffer from mitral insufficiency, especially if rheumatism is present or the conditions that lead to it, may be cured by proper care and the use of five drop doses of crataegus three or four times a day. Therapy—Saffron tea was long in good repute among the grandmothers of our older men as an essential remedy to start new-born babes in normal health channels. It was thought necessary to encourage the action of the liver and to cleanse the intestinal canal and stomach.

It is well known that in the treatment of pneumonia in the later stages cheap zantac 300mg free shipping gastritis diet õàðòèÿ, symptoms occur frequently which seem to threaten an almost immediate fatal termination buy generic zantac 150mg on line gastritis diet õàíóêà. When from any cause, usually from heart complications, the patient complains of shortness of breath, especially if there be any sense of oppression in the chest, or tightness around the chest, a medium dose of lobelia hypodermically will give full freedom and in many cases a careful properly timed repetition of the injection will give permanent relief. In the treatment of nausea, persistent vomiting, and a generally disturbed condition of the stomach, if ten drops of lobelia be added to half a glass of water and a teaspoonful be given by the mouth every ten or fifteen minutes, it will often give prompt relief. It is also useful adjusted in the same manner as the above for sick headaches and given over a period of time with reference to the conditions that induce the disease and also to any possible periodical recurrence of the disease, it will be found curative. In the treatment of acute spasm in the stomach, in the pylorus or cardiospasm, this agent is of immediate benefit. Some obstinate Ellingwood’s American Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy - Page 282 cases having been cured with it. It quickly relieves certain cases of chronic constipation, and is positively indicated in obstipation and where the obstruction of the bowels seem certain. No depression is observed, no erratic action, even when what would seem to be unnecessarily large doses have been given. Heart conditions depending upon feebleness or lack of tone or of muscular power should have occasional regular doses of this agent. In chronic heart disease with dilatation—hypertrophy—the consequent valvular deficiency and other structural defects, the agent must be given with caution as in a few cases untoward results have been seen. The prompt and satisfactory effect of lobelia upon angina pectoris has been known for fifty years or more, the old prescribers giving it by the mouth freely and with positiveness for this disorder. Hypodermically the agent is given in about thirty drop doses but in many cases fifteen drops have been sufficient. In precordial oppression, where the patient complains of a sensation of tightness over the chest with sighing respiration—a sensation of weight, heaviness and tightness, often accompanied with considerable pain, it is indicated. In the treatment of any form of hyisteria, especially if there be violent hysterical excitement or convulsions, this agent will be found of immediate benefit. Its natural antispasmodic properties make it a most reliable remedy for convulsions of any form and by proper adjustment, it is the safest probably of our agents for the convulsions of childhood. In babes, a small dose only is required and there is little danger of nausea or other unpleasant effects. Ellingwood’s American Materia Medica, Therapeutics and Pharmacognosy - Page 283 Spasm of the glottis has been controlled in several cases promptly with ten drop doses, though a larger dose may be needed. A case of tonic spasm with deep coma following a fifth laparotomy was most satisfactorily cured by dram doses every fifteen or twenty minutes until two ounces were used. The convulsions of cerebrospinal meningitis have no more active antidote than hypodermic lobelia. Given with echinacea, calcium sulphide or hexymethylenamine, it will prove curative, although some doctors will prefer to combine it, for sedative influence with gelsemium. Wilkenloh has observed that she gets best results in this disease when the face is ashy pale, when the muscular pains are extremely severe, and where there is some paralysis following the convulsive attack. Even in children with these conditions she gives full doses in most cases though usually smaller doses will accomplish the same result. Five cases of epidemic spinal meningitis were treated with recovery in every case with ten drop doses given every hour. If given during the aura in sufficiently large doses and the dose repeated as indicated, it will probably be found to exercise an efficient control. It was satisfactory in a few cases that are reported, but observations are insufficient. In the treatment of tetanus, it has controlled the convulsions in a number of cases, especially if an anti-toxic agent was injected at the same time.

There is no tumor cheap zantac 300 mg line gastritis symptoms depression, benign or malignant that does not have inorganic (toxic) copper 300 mg zantac amex gastritis erosive, that is detected with the Syncrometer. On blood tests, it is easily seen that non-food copper depresses the serum iron level. Ultimately copper is lethal because with- out sufficient iron (in a properly reduced state, kept that way by vitamin C) our detoxification systems fail, red blood cell for- mation fails, energy metabolism fails, we fail. Metallic copper comes into our bodies with water that has run through copper pipes, from metal tooth fillings, and from plastic tooth fillings polluted with copper. Copper has a great affinity for sulfur and uses up our chief sulfur compounds: glu- tathione, cysteine, taurine, and methionine. And eventually the sulfur that must stay combined with iron in our most vital or- gans is used up. Fortunately it is easy to eliminate toxic copper from our bodies by removing it from your water pipes and your mouth. Copper accumulation in cancer patients has been noted for a long time, but it was thought to be due to the cancer itself. And in fact, the accumulation, far from being due to the cancer patient’s genetic tendency, can be easily stopped just by changing the water pipes and getting copper-containing tooth fillings removed. And as copper levels continue to go down, the in- vasive fungus growths also decline. Quite a few fungi and their toxic products, called mycotox- ins, have been studied in connection with cancer. The Syn- crometer routinely detects aflatoxin and patulin, which are mycotoxins, at the tumor site. Other foods, especially fermented foods, could be contaminated with it, too, because the mycotoxin is not alive and is not dam- aged by cooking. I routinely detect it at a tumor site, but its pre- ferred organ is the parathyroid. No sooner is it back in the parathyroids but it shows up at the tumor sites, too, doing its best to shrink the tumors there. Our habit of eating rotten fruit (not right off the tree) and letting fungus germinate in the intestine (constipation) keeps us inundated with patulin. Stopping eating bruised fruit and clearing the bowel of fungus with Black Walnut Hull Tincture Extra Strength (two 18 Horubala, A. Cobalt, vanadium, malonic acid, several bacteria varieties, and assorted carcinogens. Inorganic cobalt blocked oxygen utili- zation so that the body was fooled into believing it was at the top of a tall mountain, where the air is very thin (poor in oxy- gen). But blocking oxygen utilization has the same effect as being anemic, so nothing was gained. A steady trickle of cobalt to your tumor could be expected to support tumor growth. Another toxic effect of inorganic cobalt is in the liver where the two main blood proteins are made: albumin and globulin. These two must be carefully regulated since they control the osmotic pressure in the blood vessels. The total may get much too high, such as 10 gm/dl in multiple myeloma, or much too low (below 6) when terminal illness has progressed. The toxicity of cobalt to the heart has been known for dec- ades; it was made illegal in nearly all uses then.
