TIPS FROM THE MASTERS…

 Many Surgeons are accustomed to give a dose of PHOSPHORUS in reasonably high potency an hour or two before operating.  They claim that it seems to prevent a great many of troubles, which arise as a result of the shock after opening the abdomen.  When this is done, it often avoids peristaltic troubles, which may follow abdominal surgery.

Dr. H. A. Roberts, M.D.

PHOSPHORUS has been found of value in allaying apprehension before operation in children.

Dr. D. M. Gibson, F.R.C.S., F.F. Hom (Lond).

PHOSPHORUS is useful in clearing up vision after an Iridectomy.

Dr. Charles C. Boericke, M.D.

PHOSPHORUS: Pulmonary edema following acute congestion.

Dr. Clarke, M.D.

The big ‘5’ in obstetrical hemorrhage are MILLEFOLIUM, PHOSPHORUS, NITRIC ACID, SECALE CORNTUM, and SABINA.

Dr. Krichbaum.

Repeatedly I have observed that after PHOSPHORUS has been taken (which has exact relations to the male and female sexual organs), pregnancy occurred; hence this remedy should be remembered in Sterility, if the other conditions are in the realm of this remedy.

Dr. Rummel.

For those hypertensives that crave salt, PHOSPHORUS will frequently counteract the bad effects.

Dr. H.W. Eisfielder, M.D.

I know that Dr. Blackman used PHOSPHORUS in hemorrhage from the bowels of the newborn and with success.

Dr. Robert L. Wood, M.D.

9 out of 10 cases of Infective Hepatitis in children need this medicine: PHOSPHORUS.

Dr. Strong.

Wdies.

Dr. R. B. Das.

When there is excessive flatulency in dyspepsia with frequent palpitation, and intermittent pulse, accompanied with much despondency, I have seen grand results from PHOSPHORUS.

Dr. Burt.

PHOSPHORUS is an excellent remedy for gum bleeding.  The treatment should be commenced with this remedy unless it is ruled out by clear indications of other remedy

PHOSPHORUS renders excellent service in chronic gastritis.

Dr. Boehr.

It is dangerous to give PHOSPHORUS in high potencies to patients with advanced Phthisis, as it may start a hemorrhage that may prove to be fatal.  Hence, keep low: 12 or 30.

Dr. Tyler, M.D.

PHOSPHORUS little doses taken before singing, gives great tone to the voice and helps to reach high notes without effort. ARNICA, taken after singing, is a restorative for body and voice.

Dr. Bennett.

PHOSPHORUS occupies a high place in the treatment of Acute Lobar Pneumonia, particularly if it takes a typhoid form.

Dr. Burt.

Dr. Kent states in his lectures on ARSENIC in Pneumonia that ARSENIC, while it ameliorates the condition, rarely cures unless a does of PHOSPHORUS or SULFUR follows. Kent makes the statement definitely. He says, “Those desperate cases that ARSENIC brings up and warms up for a little while will need “PHOSPHORUS”.

Dr. Grimmer, M.D.

I think that those who are the best qualified to judge, believe that the evidence is that PHOSPHORUS raises the opsonic index to tubercular infection, the same may be said of BAPTISIA to Typhoid infections, BRYONIA appears to raise the index to Pneumococcal infections, BELLADONNA & HEPAR SULF to those of staphylococcal and perhaps to streptococcal infections.

Dr. Carl. Williams, M.D.

PHOSPHORUS is very useful for the debility following influenza. It is a great post-influenza tonic.

PHOSPHORUS is the surest remedy for this disorder and helps more frequently than any other remedy; if a cure is cont completed by PHOSPHORUS, LYCOPODIUM and no less SILICA will be found indispensable.

Dr. Jahr.

A good rule to follow is when any two systems are involved, such as heart and lungs, or brain and kidneys, think of and study PHOSPHORUS.

Dr. H.W. Eisfielder, M.D. D.Ht., F.A.G.S.

Tuberculous women of the PHOSPHORUS type readily abort.

Dr. Ellis Barker.

Introduction:

Radionics is a technique of healing using extrasensory perception (ESP) and an instrument. It is not directed at detecting the subtle energy fields in the body; those fields undetected by the normal senses but which support life and are essential for its functioning. The patient can be far away from the practitioner– the distance is irrelevant.

Radionics as a healing art originated from the research of the distinguished American physicians Dr. Albert Abrams. He was born in San Francisco in 1863 and became one of the most highly qualified specialists of his day. A graduate of the University of California, he wrote several medical text books and eventually won for himself a national reputation as a specialist in diseases of the nervous system.  In the course of his research Abrams made the startling discovery that diseases could be measured in terms of energy, and he devised and instrument which calibrated dials which enabled him to identify and measure disease reactions and intensities. From this work, called E.R.A. of the Electronic Reaction of Abrams, came Radionics as we know it today

How is Radionics assessment carried out? 

Radionics uses dowsing devices can take many forms such as:

1. Changes in frictional forces or surface tension on a detector pad.

1. Movements of a forked twig or L-rods.
2. Biofeedback instruments with electrodes or transducers to amplify low level body signals.

Radionics treatment:

The Radionics practitioner uses his intuition and the Radionic instrument to observe the reactions in his apparatus and thus determines the cause of the disease. He then accurately determines the correct treatment to eliminate the underlying disease element.

Conclusion: Radionics is based on the understanding that every person has an energy pattern that is unique like their fingerprint. And that every part of their body, down to the cell level, reflects these ‘vibrations’.  When illness, injury, infection, stress, pollution, malnutrition, or poor hygiene causes these patterns to become imbalanced, then the energy is altered. This altered energy pattern can be read from any part of the body and treated by sending messages, with an instrument, to the body in order that the body may heal itself through the correction of the disturbed energy fields.

Dr. Tyler, M.D.

Its great sphere is in debility of the nerves of animal life, from seminal loss, profuse perspiration, leucorrhoea and excessive grief.

Dr. Burt.

My own experience leads me to believe that URANIUM NITRICUM is best suited to cases of Diabetes originating in dyspepsia or assimilative derangement; while PHOSPHORIC ACID excels it where the starting point of the disease was in the nervous system.

Dr. Richard Hughes, L.R.C.P.

In Post-influenza nervous asthenia, there are 3 remedies, which I have found of the greatest value, viz: PICRIC ACID, PHOSPHORIC ACID & COCCULUS INDICUS.  In all the three, there is the same feeling of weariness and inability to sustain any mental effort.

Dr. D. M. Borland, M.B., Ch.B., F.F Hom (Lond).

This herb is a wonderful brain tonic and has been used as a medicinal plant by the Chinese for over 4000 years.

 Introduction:

Ginkgo biloba is an extract from the leaves of the Maidenhair tree, also called as the Ginkgo tree.  It is considered to be the oldest living tree and has been used medicinally by the Chinese.

This tree is considered by many to be a ‘LIVING FOSSIL’ because it has survived for more than 200 million years, including the ice age.  This plant has numerous compounds that confer it extra-ordinary resistance from viruses, bacteria, algae, fungi, insects etc.

In 1992, the Lancet published a critical review of the clinical trials done on the dried leaves of Ginkgo biloba leaves and found that this plant had indeed many wonderful medicinal properties. The medicinal parts of the plant are its fan shaped bilobate leaves, which must be collected when the leaves are green during summer.

The Pharmacological Properties:

It contains characteristic organic chemicals such as; flavonoids called as Ginkgo-flavonol glycosides, terpene lactones such as ginkogolides A, B, C, & J and bilobalide.  All these complex compounds confer medicinal properties to prevent brain hemorrhages, increases the neuronal function of the brain and improves the peripheral blood circulation.  The flavonoids also act like free radical scavengers, which prevent Coronary arterial blockages and improve the cerebral blood flow and prevent atherosclerotic diseases.

Medicinal Uses:

Ginkgo biloba extracts improve the blood flow to the brain and prevent strokes, loss of memory and have an anti-platelet activity that prevents the clotting of the blood and reduces the chances of strokes and Heart attacks.

Ginkgo biloba helps in improving the memory, concentration difficulties, absentmindedness, confusion, lack of mood, fatigue, depression, dizziness, buzzing sounds in the ear, in Alzheimer’s disease, in all senile dementias and prevents strokes.

Ginkgo biloba has been found to be effective in leg cramps and in preventing gangrene of the foot.

Other uses have been in preventing the progression of Glaucoma of the eyes.

Conclusion:

Gingko biloba is another herbal medicine, which has found a place in mainstream medicine for old age related diseases. Several companies market this product in India, but the product is expensive.

Chia Seeds

These incredible seeds are a good source of omega-3 oils, calcium, protein and antioxidants; they also contain a good amount of soluble fiber.

Sesame Seeds

Sesame seeds are full of protein and rich in zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium and vitamins. They can regulate blood pressure, prevent diabetes, aid in digestion, make skin healthy, lower cholesterol, boost heart health, ease stress and anxiety, relieve arthritis, prevent liver disease and even prevent cancer.

Flaxseeds

This is one of the most ideal foods you can add to your oatmeal or smoothies. Flaxseeds are rich in antioxidants that help you fight cancer, and they are also packed with fiber to lower the risk of diabetes and heart disease.

Fennel Seeds

Fennel seeds are often used as a culinary spice, the antioxidants in them help reduce cancer risk. They are high in fiber, calcium, and iron, also have anti-inflammatory properties, and makes it a super food for relieving arthritis.

Conclusion:

Nuts and seeds are rich in energy, protein, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and much discussed omega-3 fatty acids, nuts and seeds have it all! wonderful gifts to humankind from the mother nature.

Introduction:

Sugar was once called “white death”.  It deserves 100% of this title. It is a key factor in most degenerative diseases. We must understand its dangers and limit its consumption.

Dangers of refined sugar:

Sugar causes blood glucose to spike and plummet.   Unstable blood sugar often leads to mood swings, fatigue, headaches and cravings for more sugar.

Sugar increases the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease.

Sugar interferes with immune function.
Research on human subjects is scant, but animal studies have shown that sugar suppresses immune response.  More research is needed to understand the exact mechanisms; however, we do know that bacteria and yeast feed on sugar and that, when these organisms get out of balance in the body, infections and illness are more likely.

A high-sugar diet often results in chromium deficiency.
If you consume a lot of sugar and other refined carbohydrates, you probably don’t get enough of the trace mineral chromium, and one of chromium’s main functions is to help regulate blood sugar.

Sugar accelerates aging.
It even contributes to that telltale sign of aging and sagging skin.

Sugar causes tooth decay.

Sugar can cause gum disease, which can lead to heart disease.
Increasing evidence shows that chronic infections, such as those that result from periodontal problems, play a role in the development of coronary artery disease. The most popular theory is that the connection is related to widespread effects from the body’s inflammatory response to infection.

Sugar affects behaviour and cognition in children.
Sugar increases stress.
When we’re under stress, our stress hormone levels rise; these chemicals are the body’s fight-or-flight emergency crew, sent out to prepare the body for an attack or an escape.

Sugar takes the place of important nutrients.
According to USDA data, people who consume the most sugar have the lowest intakes of essential nutrients––especially vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, vitamin B-12, calcium, phosphorous, magnesium and iron.

Conclusion:

It is a pity that the majority of us truly have no idea how devastating sugar really is to our health. The world’s consumption of sugar or processed carbohydrate that converts to sugar has grown to enormous proportions in the last century. It is estimated that the average Western person consumes about 10 –200lb of this highly processed substance each

OXALIC ACID.

 THIS REMEDY IS USEFUL TO THOSE ALLERGIC TO SOUR FRUITS, SUCH AS APPLE, STRAWBERRIES, CRANBERRIES, TOMATOES AND GRAPES.

This remedy is also useful in ulcers in the gums that are painful.

This remedy is useful when the patients have sour eructation with tasteless feeling after eating, nausea in pregnancy and colic in the abdomen, which is intermittent, relieved by passing flatus.

Introduction:

Vitamin D is sometimes called the “sunshine vitamin” because it’s produced in your skin in response to sunlight. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin in a family of compounds that includes vitamins D-1, D-2, and D-3. It can affect as many as 2,000 genes in your body.  The body produces vitamin D naturally when it’s directly exposed to sunlight. Besides getting vitamin D through sunlight, you can also get it through certain foods and supplements to ensure adequate levels of the vitamin in your blood.

Importance of Vitamin D:

Vitamin D is essential for maintaining your health. Almost all of us at one point or another have experienced low vitamin D levels. Symptoms often manifest as poor energy, insomnia, compromised immune system and mood imbalance.

Symptoms of Vitamin D deficiency:

Muscle Weakness is a symptom that is predominantly experienced in muscles around the hip. This symptom usually leads to the classic ‘waddling gait’ in adults.

Bone aches and pain.  Vitamin D works closely with the parathyroid hormone (PTH), required for maintaining sufficient levels of calcium in the blood. If you’re suffering from vitamin D deficiency, the parathyroid gland produces PTH in excess, causing the dissolution of calcium from the bones. As a result, you may suffer from pain that feels like it is originating from your bones.

Chronic fatigue:   Bone pain and muscle aches lead to chronic fatigue syndrome.

Mood swings: Adequate levels of vitamin D are required for regulating the levels of a neurotransmitter called serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a hormone that is responsible for inducing good happy feelings.

Sleep disturbances: Serotonin regulates sleep cycle. Low vitamin D levels not only affect sleep cycle regulation but also control the pattern of sleep.

Digestive problems: Useful bacteria residing in our gut play an important role in keeping our digestive system healthy. Unfortunately, lack of vitamin D is detrimental to these bacteria. So lack of vitamin D indirectly leads to poor digestion.

Other benefits of Vitamin D   It Can Cut the Risk of Breast Cancer, reduce the risk of Multiple sclerosis and reduces the risk of dementia and even said to control blood pressure.
