Zantac

But this much could not be attained on the skin of many patients (frequently all that could be attained was a moderate or small amount of itching) buy generic zantac 300 mg gastritis diet list, or again, if I could produce a violent itching, this frequently became too unbearable for the patient to sustain it for a time sufficient to produce an internal cure. When the plaster then was removed in order to relieve him, even the most violent itching, together with the eruption present, disappeared very soon, and the cure had not been essentially advanced by it; this confirms the observation made above, that the eruption if evolved a second time (and so also the itching reproduced) had not by any means the full characteristics of the eruption of the itch which had originally been repressed, and was therefore of little assistance in the real advancement of a thorough cure of the psora through internal remedies, while the little aid afforded loses all value owing to the often unbearable infliction of the artificially produced eruption and itching of the skin, and the weakening of the whole body which is inseparable from the titillating pain. He will say, indeed: Ò If it is not known - and hardly ever does it become demonstrably known - where, when, at what occasion and from what person avowedly suffering from itch the infection has been derived, then he could not discover from the present, and often insignificant little eruption whether it was real itch; so he was not to be blamed for the evil consequences, if he supposed it to be something else and endeavored to remove it from the skin as soon as possible by a lotion of lead solution, or an ointment of cadmia, or white precipitate of mercury, according to the wishes of the aristocratic parents. For, first of all, no cutaneous eruption of whatever kind it may be, ought to be expelled through external means by any physician who wishes to act conscientiously and rationally. In every case there is at the bottom a disorderly state of the whole internal living organism, which state must first be considered; and therefore the eruption is only to be removed by internal healing and curative remedies which change the state of the whole; then also the eruption which is based on the internal disease will be cured and healed of itself, without the help of any external remedy, and frequently more quickly than it could be done by external remedies. Secondly, even if the physician should not have presented to him the original, undestroyed form of the eruption, - i. In such a case we can never doubt as to the infection with itch, though in genteel and wealthy families we can seldom secure the information and the certainty as to how, where and from whom the infection has been derived; for there are innumerable imperceptible occasions whereby this infection may be received, as taught above. The homoeopathic physician in his private practice seldom gets to see and to treat an eruption of itch spread over a considerable part of the skin and coming from a fresh infection. The patients on account of the intolerable itching either apply to some old woman, or to the druggist or the barber, who, one and all, come to their aid with a remedy which, as they suppose, is immediately effective (e. Only in the practice of the barracks, of prisons, hospitals, penitentiaries and orphan asylums those infected have to apply to the resident physician, if the surgeon of the house does not anticipate him. Even in the most ancient times when itch occurred, for it did not everywhere degenerate into leprosy, it was acknowledged that there was a sort of specific virtue against itch in sulphur; but they knew of no other way of applying it, but to destroy the itch through an external application of it, even as is done now by the greater part of the modem physicians of the old school. So also the most ancient physicians, like the moderns, prescribed for their itch patients baths of warm sulphurous mineral water. Such patients are usually also delivered from their eruption by these external sulphur remedies. But that their patients were not really cured thereby, became manifest, even to them, from the more severe ailments that followed, such as general dropsy, with which an Athenian was afflicted when he drove out his severe eruption of itch by bathing in the warm sulphur baths of the island of Melos (now called Milo), and of which he died. Epidemion, which has been received among the writings of Hippocrates (some three hundred years before Celsus). Internally the ancient physicians gave no sulphur in itch, because they, like the moderns, did not see that this miasmatic disease was, at the same time and especially, an internal disease. They only gave it in connection with the external means of driving away the itch, and, indeed, in doses which would act as purgatives, - ten, twenty and thirty grains at a dose, frequently repeated, - so that it never became manifest how useful or how injurious this internal application of such large doses, in connection with the external application, had been; at least the whole itch-disease (psora) could never be thoroughly healed thereby. The external driving out of the eruption was simply advanced by it as by any other purgative, and with the same injurious effects as if no sulphur at all had been used internally. For even if sulphur is used only internally, but in the above described large doses, without any external destructive means, it can never thoroughly heal a psora; partly because in order to cure as an antipsoric and homoeopathic medicine, it must be given only in the smallest doses of a potentized preparation, while in larger and more frequent doses the crude sulphur* in some cases increases the malady or at least adds a new malady; partly because the vital force expels it as a violently aggressive remedy through purging stools or by means of vomiting, without having put its healing power to any use. After assuming that a drug, which in a normal state of health causes the symptoms a, b, g, - in analogy with other physiological phenomena, produces the symptoms x, y, z, which appear in an abnormal state of health - can act upon this abnormal state in such a way that the disease-symptoms x, y, z, are transformed into the drug symptoms a, b, g, which latter have the peculiar characteristic of temporariness or transitoriness; he then continues: Ò This transitory character belongs to the group of symptoms of the medicine a, b, g, which is substituted for the group of symptoms belonging to the disease, merely because the medicine is used in an extraordinarily small dose. Should the homoeopathic physician give the patient too large a dose of the homoeopathic remedy indicated, the disease x, y, z may indeed be transformed into the other, i. If a very large dose is given, then a new often very dangerous disease is produced, or the organism does its utmost to free itself very quickly from the poison (through diarrhoea, vomiting, etc. This in time passes away, when the psora again lifts its head, either with the same morbid symptoms as before, or with others similar but gradually more troublesome than the first, or with symptoms developing in nobler parts of the organism. Ignorant persons will rejoice in the latter case, that their former disease at least has passed away, and they hope that the new disease also may be removed by another journey to the same baths. They do not know, that their changed morbid state is merely a transformation of the same psora; but they always find out by experience, that their second tour to the baths causes even less alleviation, or, indeed, if the sulphur-baths are used in still greater number, that the second trial causes aggravation. Thus we see that either the excessive use of sulphur in all its forms, or the frequent repetition of its use by allopathic physicians in the treatment of a multitude of chronic diseases (the secondary psoric ailments) have taken away from it all value and use; and we may well assert that, to this day, hardly anything but injury has been done by allopathic physicians through the use of sulphur. I know a physician in Saxony who gained a great reputation by merely adding to his prescriptions in nearly all chronic diseases flowers of sulphur, and this without knowing a reason for it. This in the beginning of such treatments is wont to produce a strikingly beneficent effect, but of course only in the beginning, and therefore after that his help was at an end. Even when, owing to its undeniable anti-psoric effects, sulphur may be able of itself to make the beginning of a cure, after the external expulsion of the eruption, either with the still hidden and latent psora or when this has more or less developed and broken out into its varied chronic diseases, it can nevertheless be but rarely made use of for this purpose, because its powers have usually been already exhausted, because it has been given to the patient already before by allopathic physicians for one purpose or another, perhaps has been given already repeatedly; but sulphur, like most of the antipsoric remedies in the treatment of a developed psora that has become chronic, can hardly be used three or four times (even after the intervening use of other antipsoric remedies) without causing the cure to retrograde. The cure of an old psora that has been deprived of its eruption, whether it may be latent and quiescent, or already broken out into chronic diseases, can never be accomplished with sulphur alone, nor with sulphur-baths either natural or artificial. Here I may mention the curious circumstance that in general with the exception of the recent itch-disease still attended with its unrepressed cutaneous eruption, and which is so easily cured from within* - every other psoric diathesis, i.
Since peptides are ideal starting molecules that cannot be turned into successful peptidic drugs order zantac 300mg on-line eosinophilic gastritis diet, the specialty area of peptidomimetic chemistry has emerged. The goal of pep- tidomimetic chemistry is to design small, conformationally constrained, non-peptidic organic molecules that possess the biological properties of a peptide. Hopefully, this will retain the strength of the peptide as a putative drug while eliminating the problems. There are two approaches whereby peptidomimetic chemistry can achieve this design goal. In Step A, the smallest bioactive fragment of the larger peptide is identified; in Step B, a process such as an alanine scan is used to identify which of the amino acids are impor- tant for bioactivity; in Step C, individual amino acids have their configuration changed from the naturally occurring L-configuration to the unnatural D-configuration (in an attempt to make the peptide less “naturally peptidic”); in Step D, individual amino acids are replaced with atypical unnatural amino acids and amino acid mimics; in Step E the peptide is cyclized to constrain it con- formationally; finally, in Step F, fragments of the cyclic peptide are replaced with bioisosteres in an attempt to make a non-peptidic organic molecule. Next, this segment is then rebuilt isosteric fragment by isosteric fragment, gradually replacing each portion of the molecule in a stepwise fashion. For example, the amide bond may be replaced by a bioisosterically equivalent amide bioisostere. In this fashion, an equivalent but non- peptidic organic molecule drug eventually emerges. An alternative approach is a little less plodding and perhaps a little more elegant. Next, an educated guess (hopefully based on some exper- imental data) is made to suggest which portion of the peptide is the pharmacophore. The geometries of the functional groups within the pharmacophore are then measured from the theoretical and experimental studies of the peptide’s geometry and conformation. For example, these data may show that the peptide pharmacophore contains a carboxylate group located 4. Using these precise data, databases of known organic molecules are then computation- ally searched to identify an organic molecule with similar functional groups held in the same position in three-dimensional space. These include nucleic acids, lipids, and carbohydrates, which are discussed in detail in chapter 8. Likewise, there is a need to develop small organic molecules as mimetics of these other endogenous molecules. Although not as clearly defined as peptidomimetic chemistry, ultimately, “nucleotidomimetic” or “carbohydromimetic” chemistries may eventually emerge as new design strategies for lead compound identification. An alternative is to exploit molecules that are endogenous to other life forms (animal or plant) but do not naturally occur within humans. Such molecules would be classed as exogenous from the perspective of drug design for humans. Digitalis for congestive heart failure was first isolated from the foxglove plant. Various antibiotics (penicillin) and anticancer agents (taxol) are derived from natural product sources. There is good reason to be optimistic about the potential future usefulness of such exogenous compounds as a continuing source of potential lead compounds. With many thousands of years of trial-and-error by evolution on her side, Mother Nature is a vastly superior experimentalist to any mere human organic chemist. Amphibian evolution has enabled the biosynthesis of antibacterial peptides on the skins of frogs so that they can avoid infections as they swim through stagnant swamp waters; peptides such as these could be a good starting point for the peptidomimetic design of novel antibacterial agents. Reptile evolution has culminated in the biosynthesis of neuroactive venoms for pur- poses of hunting and defense; these molecules have been fine-tuned by evolution as agents specific for neurotransmitter receptors. Plant evolution has culminated in a wide variety of biomolecules that affect any animal that may choose to eat them: it is bio- logically advantageous for some plants to be eaten so that their seeds can be dispersed in the stool of the animal that ate them; conversely, it is biologically advantageous for other plants to produce noxious chemicals to decrease the likelihood of their being eaten. Because of these diverse biological activities, any of these non-human biosyn- thetic molecules could, in principle, be a lead compound for human drug discovery. Another promising feature of animal- or plant-based natural products is that they are a superb source of molecular diversity. As a synthetic chemist, Nature is much more creative and is not constrained to the same finite number of synthetic reactions typically employed by human synthetic organic chemists. Furthermore, when developing compound libraries for high throughput screening (see section 3.
Both heartworm and Loa loa are very easy to kill with a zapper and both are very easy to pick up again 150 mg zantac visa gastritis reviews. It makes no difference that the house dog is getting monthly preventive treatments for heartworm. They pick it up daily and have thirty days to develop it and give it to others between treatments. These heart parasites may not cause any pains, yet disturb the rhythm or the pulse of the heart and cause it to enlarge. Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium hiding out in far away places like pockets left under teeth when they were extracted or along root canals. Once the mouth source is cleaned up, the bacteria do not come back to the heart (after one last zapping). Weather changes, namely temperature changes make pipes expand or shrink—leaving cracks! De- livering poisonous house gas to our homes in pipes that are not fail-safe is an archaic practice. And read the sec- tions in this book on pulse (page 289) and brain problems (page 278) very closely for more things to check. This strength is nec- essary to push the blood into the farthest “corners” of the body, especially the hands and feet, and warm them up! Blood thinning drugs to improve circulation are dangerous—use only if the doctor insists. Heart/Kidney Relationship A strong heart is necessary, too, to push the blood through the kidneys. It takes pressure, namely strength, to push the blood through them so wastes and extra water can be let down the kidney tube. Think of the kidneys as a colander full of tiny holes of various sizes that let certain things through them but not bigger things. These holes are constantly being adjusted by the adrenals which sit right on top of the kidneys and “supervise”. If the elderly person is not producing four cups of urine in a day (24 hours), it is not enough. Use the kidney herb recipe—but only half a dose (so it will take six weeks instead of three to see good effects). As the tiny “colander” holes open up there is freer flow and many more trips to the bathroom result. Now that water and wastes (urea and uric acid and other acids) can leave the body quickly through more holes, it takes less pressure from the heart to get blood pushed through the kidneys. If too much is drunk at once, especially on the first day, a stomach ache can develop and a pressure felt in the bladder that is most uncomfortable. Go extra slow on the first few days, even though you find it quite tasty, so there is no discomfort (only lots of bathroom visits). Keep track of this twice a day with a modern electronic finger device (not an arm cuff that itself can break blood vessels). Cut down on drug diuretics gradually, using only ¾ dose the first day, then ½ dose, then ¼ dose. The amount of urine produced or the weight of the person can be used to assess how effective your method is. Again, mood will improve dramatically when diuretic drugs are removed for your loved one. With a parasite and pollution-free heart and a low-resistance, freely flowing kidney, some reserve strength will soon be built up. Your loved one is walking better, needing less sleep, and a “golden age” finally arrives. It is free of pain, free of medicine, free of shots and doctor visits, free of dementia, free of the dreadful weakness that demands so much help. Seeing themselves gain strength and be able to do more for themselves gives the elderly a sense of pride. When they balk at having to take herbs or vegetable juice, remind them of the days they were on a handful of pills and still had heart fail- ure, pain and kidney disease.
