Starting school

The child should be prepared well in advance so that he anticipates it in a positive way. The parents can take him to school beforehand, showing him around and perhaps meeting the teachers. He should be involved in purchasing any requirements for school, such as a schoolbag, books or clothes. Sometimes it is beneficial for him to meet other children of the same age, who are starting school at the same time.

Starting creche or kindergarten

Extreme cold from carbon dioxide, snow or liquid nitrogen will also result in death of the warty tissue, which sloughs away and the underlying skin heals usually without a scar.

Warts near the nailbed are prone to come back.

Plantar warts are often called papillomas and these are warts on the soles of the feet.

They are the same as warts elsewhere but because of the pressure of the foot against the ground or the shoe, the warty tissue is forced inwards and this presses on the sensitive nerve endings in … Continue Reading

Metatarsalgia involves a breakdown in the horizontal arch of the foot. This arch is formed by the heads of the metatarsals, the long bones of the foot.

When this arch is weak, the ball of the foot flattens when weight is put on it. Pressure of the heads of the metatarsals pushing into the pad on the ball of the foot causes a painful callus.

This is a mechanical problem and requires a mechanical solution. A … Continue Reading

Most women with symptoms of bladder irritation will lose these symptoms within a few days, whether treated or not. Those that have been given treatment for their nerves will get better and both they and the doctor may believe the problem is therefore of nervous origin.

In those cases where the urine shows no bacteria, the true cause of the symptoms lies in the urethra or at the base of the bladder where the ureters enter. This is called the trigone.

Often, the first attack of urinary infection … Continue Reading

The Russian Minister of Health told the story of a Russian centenarian from Caucasus who lived to the respectable age of 146 years. When asked for the reasons for his enviable longevity, the man said:

“I have never had a boss over me—I have never been envious of what others have—and I have periodically rejuvenated myself by marrying three times!”

Vibrant health, long life and sexual virility go hand in hand. All vital functions of the body should collaborate in perfect harmony, including the functions of the vital reproductive system. The health of … Continue Reading

The most successful of all attempts to treat multiple sclerosis are the two dietary methods used extensively in Europe, particularly in Germany—the Evers therapy and the Waerland therapy.

Joseph Evers, M.D., is the founder of the only clinic in the world which specializes in the treatment of multiple sclerosis. He has treated well over 10,000 multiple sclerosis cases in his clinic and has achieved very dramatic results. Patients come from all over the world to Dr. Evers* clinic and in most cases they leave his clinic healed and restored to health. Naturally, advanced cases cannot … Continue Reading

(SIX MINOR ZONES)-3RD MAJOR ZONE—BONES AND SKIN

The third major zone is also divided into two zones—the fifth and sixth minor zones. The fifth minor zone is called the Skeletal zone. Further iris research may eventually require many minor modifications to this schema.

When a condition of the skeletal system is presented the sign should never begin in the

iris-wreath. It may project well into the muscle zone, just as it may also extend into the sixth zone—the skin zone. It is, however, a sign … Continue Reading

Emetic

An emetic is used to induce vomiting in certain cases of swallowed poison. Every medicine chest should contain an emetic, and syrup of ipecac is recommended. It’s convenient to have two small bottles, each containing a single dose of two to three teaspoonfuls for immediate use. Note, however, that vomiting should not be induced automatically in a case of poisoning. If the poison is an item not normally edible – such as petrol, turpentine, cleaning fluid – you should not make the child vomit because the poison may do more harm on the … Continue Reading

Anorexia nervosa means literally “nervous loss of appetite.” Actually, however, persons with this condition-almost always female from upper- and upper-middle-class homes-do not lose their appetites. Rather, they willfully suppress the urge to eat in an unhealthy desire to lose more and more weight. In short, they starve themselves because they mistakenly believe that they are fat and need to diet.

After a certain point, anorexia nervosa leads to the cessation of menstruation. It also causes the destruction of healthy muscle and organ tissue that the body must use as an energy source in the absence … Continue Reading

It’s not that skeptical scientists don’t believe that hundreds of thousands of people will be celebrating their 100th birthdays in the years to come. But the buck pretty much stops there, they say.

“It’s true that we’re living about 30 years longer than we did at the beginning of the century,” says Dr. Olshansky. “But if you look at the data, those advances are due to how much we’ve been able to lower infant and child mortality. Now that we’re trying to extend life expectancy on the back end of life, those improvements have slowed … Continue Reading
