HealthDayNews) -- Dry socket is the most common post-operative complication of a tooth extraction.
This painful condition occurs when the newly formed blood clot at the site of the extraction doesn't form properly or is disturbed.
Here are tips from the U.S. Army Medical Department on how to help prevent dry socket:
Avoid drinking through a straw; the suction will interfere with healthy clotting.
Avoid smoking; it can contaminate the extraction site and also cause suction.
Avoid spitting and excessive mouth rinsing.

Health Tip: Be Safe in the Bathroom
(HealthDay News) -- Bathrooms attract kids like magnets. From the faucets to the toilet to the medicine cabinet, they beckon inquisitive young minds and hands.
Avoid bathroom mishaps with these tips from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia:
To reduce the risk of scalding, turn down your water heater to 120 degrees.
If you have a crawler or a toddler at home, use a toilet lock. Children have drowned in toilets.
Make sure any electrical outlets are GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) protected.
Avoid using electrical appliances in the bathroom, including electric space heaters.
Remove sharp items, such as scissors and razors, and store them out of reach.
Store medications, mouthwash, and cleansers out of reach.

Millions at risk in Sudan as diseases rage: WHO
Millions of people are at risk from deadly diseases such as cholera and meningitis in Sudan, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Friday, appealing for funds urgently to combat major outbreaks.
"A significant increase in disease incidence and in preventable deaths is expected unless the shortfall of $24 million in funds for health are provided immediately," said Ala Din Alwan, WHO's representative for health action in crises.
The United Nations agency, in a statement, predicted "adverse consequences for the health of millions of people throughout Sudan" unless funds were secured for its 20 projects.
"Over the last six months, Sudan has experienced major outbreaks of epidemic diseases such as acute watery diarrhea and cholera, dengue, yellow fever, monkey pox and meningitis, placing additional strains on already stretched health care services," it said.
Meningitis, which has struck at least 1,335 people in 15 of Sudan's 25 states, is likely to spread further due to the lack of essential drugs and vaccinations, it said. An infection of the lining that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, it is spread by sneezing, coughing and living in close quarters.
An outbreak of acute watery diarrhea has affected nearly 9,400 people in seven of the 10 states in southern Sudan, causing 248 deaths, WHO said.
Cases of acute watery diarrhea were being reported daily in new locations, it added.
It was not clear how many of these cases were cholera, a water-borne disease which causes vomiting and acute diarrhea that can lead to dehydration and death within 24 hours if not treated swiftly.

THOMAS RAU, M.D.: Arthritis, PARKINSON’s, and Fibromyalgia
Chronic illnesses, from arthritis to cancer, are routinely reversed at
Paracelsus Clinic where they know that once you rebalance the cells, the
body will follow suit and heal.
By RICHARD LEVITON
http://www.alternativemedicine.com/
THE TOOTH THAT CAUSED ARTHRITIS
Here is a case that perfectly illustrates the way seemingly different body
systems are connected. Elinor, aged 46, had suffered from rheumatoid
arthritis for 10 years. It was especially acute in her knees. She had been
given all the standard drugs and treatments, but nothing helped.
Using electrodermal screening, Dr. Rau determined that the source of her
arthritis was a tooth, specifically, a molar that had received a root canal.
This dead tooth was situated on the acupuncture meridian for Elinor’s large
intestine and which passes through the knees on both sides of the body. In
fact, she had 2 root-canaled teeth and both affected this same meridian.
“We’ve found that every root canal can upset your health and help cause
chronic diseases,” notes Dr. Rau.
Paracelsus dentists extracted one tooth and found that the resulting cavity
in Elinor’s jawbone was infected. They cleaned it out with neural therapy,
that is, a series of local injections of common anesthetics, such as
novocaine or procaine, into the jaw. The goal was to disinfect the jawbone
and to encourage “friendly” or probiotic microorganisms to flourish there
instead.
Paracelsus Clinic is nestled amidst the Swiss Alps, making the pristine
setting itself a healing factor for its many clients.
“On the same day her tooth came out and the dental ‘focus’ was eliminated
from her body, Elinor’s knee arthritis disappeared,” says Dr. Rau. Elinor
declined having the second tooth removed, and for a time her body was able
to tolerate it. But soon she developed a severe case of dermatitis.
This made perfect sense, Dr. Rau comments, because the second root-canaled
tooth blocked the energy flow through the Large Intestine acupuncture
meridian. Problems with the skin, in Chinese medicine, are directly related
to the intestines; the meridian is the carrier of the problem. The second
tooth was removed and within 3 days, Elinor’s dermatitis began to turn
around; given the severity of skin blemishing, it took about 2 months for
her skin to return to a completely natural state.
Biological medicine contends that arthritis, which always responds poorly to
conventional medicine, is a “reaction disease,” the body trying to excrete
toxins, explains Dr. Rau. Normally, poisons leave the body through the skin,
urine, or feces, but in arthritis, owing to an imbalance, the body deposits
the toxins in the membranes around the joints.
Now, if you suppress this attempt to throw out toxins by giving cortisone or
other strong drugs, it drives the poisons further into the body and
intensifies the toxicity, says Dr. Rau. What’s needed instead is to detoxify
the system and help the body excrete the poisons through the normal channels
and not the joints. “This is how we think in biological medicine—we’re
always looking for the cause, for why the body reacts in this way,” says Dr.
Rau.
DENTAL INFECTION AND CANCER.
“Elinor’s twin problems were produced by a dental infection on her Large
Intestine energy meridian,” explains Dr. Rau. This means the problems with a
specific tooth become a focus for spreading general imbalance throughout the
body and specific disturbances in a given organ or body region. “Each tooth
relates to an acupuncture meridian,” he adds, noting that over the years, he
has compiled a dental chart mapping the precise relationship among teeth,
meridians, and illnesses. This kind of correlation is highly practical, for
example, when it comes to understanding breast cancer.
Dr. Rau estimates that in 90% of breast cancer patients he has treated,
there has been a dental infection. As the breast lies on the Stomach
meridian, if you have a problematic tooth (such as a root canal) situated on
this meridian, as it passes through the jaw it blocks the flow of energy and
can cause degeneration and eventually cancer, Dr. Rau explains. To a lesser
extent, a dental infection is also involved in the development of prostate
cancer.
Regarding cancer, about half of Dr. Rau’s inpatient hospital beds are
occupied by patients with cancer. The issue of cellular terrain is
particularly crucial with cancer because here you see degenerated tissues
that have become highly acidic, says Dr. Rau. Sugars in the diet literally
feed the cancer cells, so patients are put on sugar-restricted diets;
consumption of animal protein is also curtailed as these substances
perpetuate the terrain imbalance.
Dr. Rau’s team uses a variety of treatments to reverse cancer. First, it’s
important to replenish the nutritionally deprived system with supplements
and key trace elements. If the cells lack the necessary nutrients, then not
only is the pH thrown off balance, but the system no longer has the energy
to react therapeutically to subtle energy medicines such as homeopathy.
Second, Dr. Rau’s team may use an injectable preparation made from
mistletoe, called Iscador, whose efficacy has been well-established
throughout Europe since the 1920s.
Dr. Rau also uses SANUM remedies, developed by Dr. Guenther Enderlein
(1872-1968), a prominent exponent of pleomorphism. These medications,
injected around the tumor site, adjust the pH and cellular terrain and help
the pathogenic microorganisms revert back to harmless forms, says Dr. Rau.
In effect, the SANUM remedies help the body restore the optimal cellular
terrain for health.
“Cancer is the final stage in cellular degeneration such that these cells no
longer follow the interests of the whole body,” says Dr. Rau. “Cancer
results. To reverse this, you must profoundly detoxify then rebuild the
cellular environment. To do this, the most important element is to balance
the acid-base relationship.” The proof of the theory is that Paracelsus
Clinic does quite well in cancer reversals.
Regarding Class IV, the worst kind of cancer in which it has spread to
multiple sites, Dr. Rau’s team gets about a 50% success rate, depending on
the type of tumor. But if they can begin treatment in the early stages, when
a cancer node is first diagnosed, “then our prognosis is very good,” says
Dr. Rau. “After 7 years we have not had a patient whose cancer spread after
Stage I once we gave treatment.”

Adult-Onset Diabetes—Oxygenated Blood Can Help
FRANK SHALLENBERGER, M.D.
You don’t normally think of oxygen as a treatment for diabetes, but
according to Frank Shallenberger, M.D., H.M.D., director of the Nevada
Center of Alternative and Anti-Aging Medicine in Carson City, Nevada, ozone
(a less stable, more reactive form of oxygen) can produce remarkable
improvements in both the major and secondary symptoms of adult-onset
diabetes. The connection between the ozone and diabetes is the blood
circulation, Dr. Shallenberger says, as demonstrated in the following cases.
Virginia, 51, had been diabetic for five years and was taking Glucotrol, an
oral medication for controlling blood sugar levels. However, Virginia came
to Dr. Shallenberger seeking treatment for recurrent breast cancer, a tumor
that periodically grew then diminished.
Dr. Shallenberger decided to ozonate her blood as ozone is often used as a
healing substance in alternative cancer treatments. He drew 150 cc of
Virginia’s blood then injected it with ozone gas. Ozonating the sample of
Virginia’s blood took about 40 minutes, after which it was reinfused into
her body. He did this daily to address the cancer.
What surprised Dr. Shallenberger in this case was that not only the breast
cancer responded to ozonation (it started to dissolve) but so did Virginia’s
diabetes. Her blood sugar levels began dropping too low (a condition called
hypoglycemia) indicating that the ozone and Glucotrol were controlling her
blood sugar too well. Dr. Shallenberger reduced her Glucotrol dosage to once
daily, then soon after, as the low blood sugar trend continued, eliminated
the drug altogether. “Practically speaking, Virginia didn’t have diabetes
any longer,” notes Dr. Shallenberger.
How did ozone bring her diabetes under control? Diabetics always run the
risk of complications, such as loss of vision, heart disease, nerve
dysfunction, and gangrenous limbs. Diabetics usually have considerable
circulation problems such that the actual blood flow to their tissues is
diminished, explains Dr. Shallenberger. Patients often have difficulty
digesting fats (such as cholesterol and triglycerides) and their arteries
tend to thicken and harden.
“This is compounded by the fact that what little blood reaches their tissues
is less effective than it should be and is unable to deliver oxygen to those
tissues,” says Dr. Shallenberger. “The tissues become oxygen depleted, which
explains why diabetics have problems with gangrene and why they’re unable to
resist infections.”
A prime reason the red blood cells in the diabetic’s blood are unable to
release their oxygen is that a key molecule called 2,3-diphosphoglycerate,
or 2,3-dpg for short, is in reduced supply. Under normal conditions, 2,3-dpg
stimulates red blood cells which carry oxygen to deliver it to the tissues;
but if there isn’t enough of this molecule in the system, the red blood
cells can’t deliver the oxygen.
When you introduce ozone—that is, more oxygen—into the blood, more 2,3-dpg
is produced and the oxygen-delivery system and the efficiency of blood
circulation start to improve. The ozone also appears to enhance the activity
of cellular metabolism, the continual conversion of food into energy. Dr.
Shallenberger likens the metabolism-heightening effect of ozone to a similar
benefit to diabetics obtained through vigorous exercise. It oxygenates the
tissues and gets all the body processes running better, he says.
You don’t normally think of oxygen as a treatment for diabetes, but
according to Frank Shallenberger, M.D., H.M.D., director of the Nevada

of cellular metabolism, the continual conversion of food into energy. Dr.
Shallenberger likens the metabolism-heightening effect of ozone to a similar
benefit to diabetics obtained through vigorous exercise. It oxygenates the
tissues and gets all the body processes running better, he says.
Levels of ATP, an important molecule which stores energy in the cells, are
also enhanced through ozonation. Among other functions, ATP helps each cell
maintain the integrity of its membrane, thereby enabling it to regulate the
passage of materials into and out of the cell, says Dr. Shallenberger. If
the cell membrane collapses, the cell dies; if a lot of cells die, you start
getting tissue death, and gangrene becomes a possibility.
Gangrene in a toe was a serious diabetic complication besetting Quentin, 50.
His diabetes was poorly controlled, mainly because he was reluctant to
comply with dietary restrictions, says Dr. Shallenberger.
Specifically, he didn’t want to give up drinking beer. Even with a daily
dosage of four Micronase pills (another blood sugar–controlling drug),
Quentin’s blood sugar level was around 230; a safe, normal level ranges
between 70 and 120.
Dr. Shallenberger already had worked with Quentin for two years, prescribing
dietary changes, herbs, and supplements, but when Quentin developed gangrene
on the third toe of his right foot and conventional doctors were scheduling
him for amputation at the ankle, Dr. Shallenberger decided to try ozonation.
“Quentin’s toe was completely black and they were going to amputate his
entire foot because the rest of the tissue was on the borderline of becoming
gangrenous, too,” he notes.
For Quentin’s treatment, Dr. Shallenberger added another element to the
ozonation procedure: chelation. The chelation would help improve Quentin’s
blood circulation by removing heavy metals and arterial plaque. Dr.
Shallenberger calls his combined treatment “chezone.”
Chelation improves blood circulation to the tissues, he explains, which
means they get more oxygen. This in turn improves their metabolic rate
(energy processing efficiency) and enables them to make better use of
glucose (blood sugar). When you have higher efficiency in using glucose, you
are much closer to controlling the diabetes naturally, says Dr.
Shallenberger. Using ozone, as stated above, helps the patient utilize the
available oxygen better, due to improved circulation. Combining chelation
with ozone in effect doubles the circulation benefits.
In addition to chezone, Dr. Shallenberger put an ozone extremity bag around
Quentin’s right foot, filled it with ozone gas, and left it in place for 20
minutes. In this way, the ozone was absorbed through the skin, an approach
that has proven successful in treating chronic sores and skin ulcers, says
Dr. Shallenberger.
Each time he gave Quentin a chezone treatment (ten in all, one per day), he
also ozonated his foot. After about two weeks, the foot was much improved;
the area between the ankle and gangrenous toe had healed which meant only
the toe would have to be amputated.
After the surgery, Quentin hurt his foot in such a way that the stitches
broke open and a large ulcerating sore formed. His doctors talked about
amputation again, but after another six weeks of chezone and foot ozonation
treatments, Quentin’s foot healed again. Following the first two weeks of
intensive treatments, Dr. Shallenberger gave him a chezone once weekly and
foot ozonation three times weekly. In ensuing months, Quentin received
maintenance treatments.
About ten weeks after the first chezone treatment, “the lesion in Quentin’s
foot was entirely healed and he was down to only two Micronase pills a day,”
says Dr. Shallenberger. “If I had been able to treat his toe before it went
black, I probably could have saved it.” As it turned out, Dr. Shallenberger
did save Quentin’s right foot twice. “I’m not convinced you can get all
diabetics off their medication. To me the point is how well you can control
the blood sugar.”
In the case of Leonard, 64, controlling his sugar intake was central to
being able to get his diabetes and gangrene complications under control.
Leonard, who developed diabetes six years earlier, was on insulin and
Glucophage (another diabetes drug) to control his blood sugar levels.
However, Leonard developed a blister on the sole of his foot; when this
became infected, his doctor cleaned out all the infected tissue, leaving a
hole in his foot. Over a three-month period, this wound failed to heal even
with antibiotics and Leonard’s doctors were talking about amputating his
foot.
Dr. Shallenberger started Leonard on the same combination chezone and foot
ozonation program that had worked so well for Quentin. Then he added a piece
of advice. “You must cut down on your sugar intake.” Leonard ate a lot of
white sugar in his diet and none of his conventional doctors apparently made
the link between high dietary sugar intake and the inability of his
infection to heal. “White blood cells, the immune cells that fight
infection, cease to function in the presence of elevated glucose levels,”
says Dr. Shallenberger.
After two treatments, Leonard’s foot was noticeably improved and his energy
levels were heightened. The initial progress motivated Leonard to comply
fully with the program. Dr. Shallenberger started Leonard on a series of
nutrients and remedies including chromium and vanadium, to help his body
utilize its natural pancreatic insulin.
People with adult-onset diabetes produce insulin but their system becomes
unable to use it, a condition called insulin resistance. In fact, the
pancreas of such a patient generally produces too much insulin; as the body
fails to act on this insulin, the pancreas produces yet more. The minerals
chromium and vanadium break this cycle and support the body in making use
again of pancreatic insulin, says Dr. Shallenberger.
Among the other elements of Leonard’s program were pancreatic enzymes (to
support pancreas function and to improve digestion; 400-800 mg three times
daily), the hormone melatonin (to bolster the immune system; 3 mg once
daily), and the hormone DHEA, levels of which tend to be about 50% below
normal in diabetics.
Low DHEA levels may help explain the characteristic weight gain in people
with adult-onset diabetes, says Dr. Shallenberger. He notes that DHEA doses
will vary with each patient. “Women should take enough (usually 10-25 mg
daily) to raise the serum DHEA-sulfate to between 2,000 and 3,000 mg/ml,
while men should take enough (usually 50-100 mg daily) to raise it to
between 3,000 and 4,000 mg/ml.”
He also gave Leonard a specialized product (made from the fungus Mucor
racemosus) called Mucokehl, developed in Germany by the Sanum company, and
now used selectively (as part of a line of several dozen similar substances)
by North American physicians. The Mucokehl would help regulate
microorganisms which affect the thickness and texture of the blood.
After a month of treatments, Leonard’s foot was completely healed, says Dr.
Shallenberger. As his blood sugar came under better control, Leonard was
able to lower his daily insulin intake and resume his busy life.

DrEddyClinic.com :: View topic - Günther Enderlein (1872-1968) of Germany: "Günther Enderlein (1872-1968) of Germany is the researcher who will forever be inseparable from pleomorphism, isopathy and homeopathy.
Dr. Enderlein built upon the research of Antoine Béchamp and proved that blood is not sterile, and that a microorganism can appear in various developmental stages and in diverse forms, without the loss of its specific characteristics.
Through intensive research, Dr. Enderlein came to the conclusion that the monomorphistic perspective of disease conditions favored by Dr. Louis Pasteur and others could no longer be maintained, and that a pleomorphic perspective more accurately reflected the disease process.
Dr. Enderlein discovered in 1916 that primitive microorganic forms prepared in a remedy, when combined with a change in the biological terrain (or milieu) of the body, can cause virulent forms to return to their original avirulent condition, bringing healing to the host body.
He found that when the tiniest, mobile living forms of bacteria, which he called “spermits,” exchanged genetic material with higher developmental organisms, the highly developed organisms became suddenly invisible, having been broken down to their primitive, avirulent forms. Using this knowledge, he developed homeopathic and isopathic remedies from fungal cultures. When these living remedies contact virulent microbial masses, the masses are induced to return to their avirulent form, and then leave the body through the natural organs of elimination.
Enderlein devoted his whole life and all of his scientific work to proving this thesis and to developing the homeopathic and isopathic remedies that rose from it.

Through intensive research, Dr. Enderlein came to the conclusion that the monomorphistic perspective of disease conditions favored by Dr. Louis Pasteur and others could no longer be maintained, and that a pleomorphic perspective more accurately reflected the disease process.
Dr. Enderlein discovered in 1916 that primitive microorganic forms prepared in a remedy, when combined with a change in the biological terrain (or milieu) of the body, can cause virulent forms to return to their original avirulent condition, bringing healing to the host body.
He found that when the tiniest, mobile living forms of bacteria, which he called “spermits,” exchanged genetic material with higher developmental organisms, the highly developed organisms became suddenly invisible, having been broken down to their primitive, avirulent forms. Using this knowledge, he developed homeopathic and isopathic remedies from fungal cultures. When these living remedies contact virulent microbial masses, the masses are induced to return to their avirulent form, and then leave the body through the natural organs of elimination.
Enderlein devoted his whole life and all of his scientific work to proving this thesis and to developing the homeopathic and isopathic remedies that rose from it.
