Self-Care Tips for Food Poisoning
Food poisoning is characterized by abdominal pain, without or without diarrhea, vomiting, sweating, and/or weakness. It usually within 24-96 hours of eating a food contaminated with a virus or bacteria.
Symptoms of food poisoning varies greatly. Symptoms can manifest as quickly as 30 minutes to one hour if due to chemical food poisoning; one to twelve hours in cases due to bacterial poisoning; 12 to 48 hours in cases due to viral or salmonella poisoning. Symptoms can range from stomach pain and nausea, to constipation, diarrhea (sometimes in alternation with each other) and, in very severe cases, collapse and shock.
Food poisoning is far more common than is typically believed. Many cases of diarrhea each year, for instance, are probably due to food poisoning. Many of these cases go unreported as the cause is not known and is usually attributed to the stomach flu.
What To Consider
Flu, gastrointestinal disorders, digestive enzyme deficiencies, drug interactions, stress, and nutrient deficiencies or excess (too much magnesium can cause loose stools and abdominal cramps) can all mimic symptoms of food poisoning. In infants, symptoms can also be due to an intolerance to honey. Be sure to rule these out.
You should suspect food poisoning if a number of people who ate the same food come down with similar symptoms. The most common types of food poisoning are infective types such as salmonella, found in farm animals or passed on by food handling or flies from contaminated fecal material; frozen poultry that is not completely thawed before being cooked; contaminated drinking water; foods that remain at room temperature too long, which can encourage Clostridium— often referred to as the “cafeteria germ”—to grow; and food products such as chicken, duck, or geese, raw or partly cooked eggs, or raw fish such as clams, oysters, or sushi.
Other causes include organisms such as Staphylococcal bacteria, which can be passed through the hands, coughing, sneezing, or breathing onto the food, botulism, which can occur in food preserved at home; viruses that contaminate shellfish due to contaminated waters; and other infective organisms such as Giardia and Campylobacter, which can take up to one week before causing symptoms.
Non-infective food poisoning is another factor, and is caused by poisonous mushrooms, toadstools, and fresh vegetables and fruits that have been contaminated with chemicals and insecticides, stored in inappropriate containers, or from leakage of metals from the containers into the food.
Note: If food poisoning is due to chemical or bacterial toxins, proper treatment may require pumping the stomach. Food poisoning usually improves within three days unless due to botulism, chemical poisoning, or mushroom poisoning. However, some infective organisms do not cause identifiable initial symptoms but can linger in the body and may cause long-term health problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Caution: In cases of food poisoning that cause severe vomiting and diarrhea, seek immediate emergency medical care and keep samples of food available for testing, if possible.
Self-Care
Diet: Stop eating all solid food, drink plenty of fluids, and immediately take six charcoal tablets, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacteria, L. bulgaricus, and grape seed extract. Also replace lost electrolytes, if needed, by dissolving one teaspoon of salt and four teaspoons of sugar in one quart of water. Be accurate with salt amount or it may create more dehydration. Garlic cloves can also be helpful. Once symptoms abate, slowly reintroduce high-fiber foods such as grains to help settle your stomach.
If you are traveling in areas where food poisoning is common, try eating more hot, spicy foods to encourage more gastric secretions and avoid all drinking water except bottled water and do not eat any raw vegetables or use ice in your drinks.
Nutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can help hasten recovery and prevent long-term side effects related to food poisoning: acidophilus, charcoal tablets, grape seed extract, garlic capsules, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, and kelp tablets.
Lipoic acid is also useful because it can protect the liver from damaging free-radical attack caused by ingesting poisonous foods.
He.rbs: For non-severe cases of food poisoning, drink cumin, coriander, or fennel tea.
Homeopathy: Arsen alb., Chamomilla, Ipecac., Apis mel., Nux vom., and Colchicum are useful homeopathic remedies for food poisoning.
Juice Therapy: Drink the juice of carrot, beet, and garlic to help settle your stomach and also to help eliminate bacteria or viruses associated with food poisoning.

Cancer and Autism: A Look Beyond the Hype
Last week, the news media trumpeted a story claiming that cancer deaths in the U.S. had declined for the first time in recent memory. Quoted in the stories were various figures in the conventional cancer field, among them Dr. Michael Thun, of the American Cancer Society, and Andrew von Eschenbach, director of the U.S. National Cancer Institute. Both men hailed the findings, which were the result of a review of death certificates in the U.S. by the National Center of Health Statistic as significant and an indication that the so-called war on cancer is continuing to make progress. Given that none of the coverage I saw in the mainstream media about this story challenged this assumption, most people who heard it most likely took it at face value and so believe that this news truly is significant and an indication that conventional cancer treatments are indeed becoming more effective, etc. If so, they are sadly mistaken.
As noted cancer researcher, Dr. Ralph Moss correctly points out, the actual findings are not significant at all, showing only that there were 370 fewer deaths from cancer in 2003 than there were in 2002. Given that each and every year over 550,000 people die from cancer in the U.S. alone, and over a million more people are diagnosed with it, the widely touted findings by the cancer establishment are virtually meaningless. Unless Cancer, Inc (my name for the cancer establishment) considers a success rate of 0.066 percent something to write home about! (Apparently, they do.)
Moreover, as Dr. Moss points out in his astute commentary on this story (see Playing With Numbers, Part One at http://www.cancerdecisions.com/021906.html), what was not highly trumpeted was the fact that 409 more women died of cancer in 2003 than in 2002 (the 370 total fewer deaths resulted from the fact that 778 fewer men died in 2003 than in 2002). As he says, this means the headlines could just have easily have raised the alarm that cancer deaths among women are on the rise.
Dr. Moss has far more expertise than I do when it comes to analyzing the claims made by Cancer, Inc, so I will refer you to the above link if you wish to read his entire view on this matter. For n.o.w, suffice it to say that this latest news from Cancer, Inc., is more of the same—hype and hyperbole, not something significant and substantial.
This week, a story about autism was also reported in the news (see Autism surrounded by misunderstanding-experts by Maggie Fox, reported by Reuters on Feb. 19, 2006). On the whole, the story was fairly positive, especially in that it reported that people with autism are more intelligent and better able to function than commonly believed. The basis of that statement stems from findings made at a recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. I applaud the researchers for challenging current assumptions about people with autism, which include the fact that current research indicates that 75 percent of them are mentally retarded. As the researchers pointed out, this is most likely a highly erroneous figure, due in large part to inappropriate intelligence tests being given to people with autism. (When different IQ testins was made, the researchers found that the average increase in IQ was 30 points. That is highly significant.)
What troubles me about this story was the unchallenged statement that was made by Dr. Judith Grether, who claims that it is impossible to determine autism rates in the past compared to today, and that therefore the current rate of autism may not signal a rise or and epidemic at all. Additionally, the same story reported that scientific studies have found no link between autism and the use of vaccines, implying that such a link does not exist.
Let’s take Dr. Gerther’s statement first. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), autism currently affects between one in 166 to one in 500 children. In the past, autism affected approximately five out of every 10,000 children. Moreover, in the last decade, researchers in California and Maryland found that children in their states had undergone a 273 percent increase (in California between 1987 and 1989) and a 513 percent increase (in Maryland between 1993 and 1998) in autism. In other words, Grether’s statement does not hold water.
As for the statement that no link has been found between autism and childhood vaccinations, that is not necessarily true, either. In actuality, studies that both make and refute such a link already exist, making it currently unfeasible to definitively make a claim either way. However, many parents report that their children first showed signs of autistic behavior shortly after they received vaccines containing thimerosal, a mercury derivative. Additionally, the doctors I know who are having success treating autism also report heavy concentrations of mercury and other heavy metals in many of the children they treat. (That does not mean that mercury from vaccines is the sole cause of autism. It is not; there are many factors that can play a role, including nutritional deficiencies, allergies, impaired, gastrointestinal function, and viral infections, to name just a few. Therefore, like most other chronic degenerative diseases, a multifactorial approach is necessary to effectively treat it.)
Adding further wei.ght to the vaccination-autism hypothesis is this recent comment by Dr Peter Fletcher, former Chief Scientific Officer at the Department of Health in England: [T]here are very powerful people in positions of great authority in Britain and elsewhere who have staked their reputations and careers on the safety of MMR and they are willing to do almost anything to protect themselves. Dr. Fletcher made this statement after studying literally thousands of documents which he says provide evidence of the brain damage caused by the MMR vaccine. (Source: BBC News and Daily Mail, February 11, 2006.)
So, even in a positive story about autism, we find statements that are unfounded yet which, if taken at face value, convey assurances that are not justified.
I make these points because both of these stories are indicative of the quality (more accurately, the lack thereof) of media coverage of health stories these days. So how does one separate the hype from the truth? In answer to that, I recently gave a lecture in which I shared the following guideline with my audience: If you read news stories about conventional medicine that are positive and other stories about nonconventional medical approaches that are negative, more than likely none of the stories are true.
Holistic Medicine: Quest.ions and Answers
Last week, I received an email from a reader named Steven. Steven is a senior in high school who is researching a paper on holistic medicine. What follows are his quest.ions to me about this subject, and my replies. I am extremely gratified that someone as you.ng and intelligent as Steven obviously is has taken such a serious interest in exploring the comparisons between holistic healing methods and our current conventional health care system.
What are the main benefits of holistic medicine?
The primary benefit of holistic medicine is that it seeks to treat the person, not the disease. This means that holistic practitioners recognize that each patient is unique and therefore his or her symptoms are due to his or her individual factors. For example, while conventional mds would be prone to prescribe the same cold medications for ten people with cold symptoms, holistic practitioners would most probably spend time with each of the ten patients, getting to know what is going on in their lives and addressing things such as their dietary and nutritional status, stress levels, etc. All of the various factors that they would explore can play a role in immune dysfunction and therefore increase susceptibility to colds, flu, and far more serious illnesses.
Another benefit of holistic medicine is that it is preventative in nature, meaning it focuses on helping patients remain well. Prevention is far more cost effective than treating diseases after they have manifested. By and large, holistic practitioners seek to educate and support their patients in making wise dietary and nutritional choices, and guiding them in better ways of managing stress, as well as working with them to create appropriate exercise and other healthy lifestyle plans.
Holistic medicine also has as a primary aim treating each patient in 'body, mind and spirt.' this means that holistic practitioners address a person's mental and emotional concerns, his or her personal and work environments, and socio-spiritual issues, in addition to physical concerns/symptoms. However, in practice, all of the above is still more the ideal than it is the reality for many holistic practitioners, so it is important for health consumers to seek out practitioners who truly walk their talk in this regard.
What are the main health risks of conventional medicine?
According to the American Medical Association's main peer-reviewed journal (JAMA), properly prescribed drugs kill over 100,000 Americans each and every year. Additionally, an equal number or more patients contract illnesses that they did not have simply from going to the hospital (primarily in the fo.rm of bacterial and viral infections). On top of these statistics, the primary fo.rm of health care offered by conventional medicine is drugs, all of which have serious side effects and none of which address the underlying causes of patient symptoms. As a result of such factors, conventional medicine has increasingly become unsafe, as well as increasingly ineffective. (It is an abysmal failure for chronic disease conditions, at best only helping to poorly manage symptoms of such disease, not reverse/cure them.) On the other hand, it excels in cases of acute disease and the surgical procedures that it has developed are unrivaled and increasingly impressive.
What constitutes a holistic practitioner (distinctions, etc.)?
See my answers to question 1 above.
Are there any organizations regulating the practice of holistic medicine?
Not regulating, per se, but definitely providing benchmarks in terms of standards of care. (medicine is regulated by the state and federal government agencies.) For MDs, the leading organizations in this area are the American Board of Holistic Medicine (ABHM), the American Holistic Medical Association (AHMA), and the American Gollege for the Advancement of Medicine (ACAM), all of which you can learn more about by searching their names on the Internet. There are also nationwide organizations involved with a variety of other holistic/alternative health care systems, such as naturopathic medicine, chiropractic, osteopathy (although this field, in the U.S., has increasingly veered towards a similar allopathic model as that of conventional mds), environmental medicine, acupuncture, homeopathy, etc. You can find out more about these organizations and the therapies themselves in my book the American Holistic Medical Association Guide to Holistic Health, published by John Wiley and Sons, and available at most local libraries and through amazon.com and your local book store.
Are more practitioners concerned about prevention or fixing the problem?
As I mentioned above, the primary emphasis of holistic medicine is on prevention, yet holistic medicine also excels at treating chronic health care conditions. Any physician worth his or her salt, however, would prefer to prevent disease rather than having to treat it.
What is the procedure that a practitioner will go through to make decisions on what actions to take (diagnostics, informed consent, etc.)?
This varies both according to each physician and the medical discipline(s) he or she uses. Typically, patients and holistic physicians/practitioners engage in what is known as an intake session, wherein the patient answers various quest.ions and share his or her concerns. From there, diagnostic tests may be appropriate. Holistic practitioners use both conventional diagnostic tests (e.g., blood work, x-rays, etc) and nontraditional tests such as allergy tests that go beyond the scope of conventional allergy tests, additional blood work, heavy metal testing, etc.
What are the most common methods of treatment used?
This varies according to the specific needs of each patient. However, a truly holistic treatment program will always address diet, nutritional status, stress management, and any individual concerns the patient presents with. Structural work (releasing stress from the muscles and spine) is also advisable. Other treatment suggestions can usually be involved, as well.
How long ago were these treatments originated?
In some cases, thousands of years ago (diet, nutrition, her.bal medicine, acupuncture, bodywork, traditional Chinese medicine, yoga, and Ayurvedic medicine) all date back thousands of years B.C. Others, such as homeopathy and naturopathic medicine are hundreds of years old. Chiropractic and osteopathy (in its original fo.rm a truly holistic healing approach) both were developed in the U.S. in the 1800s. In the last century or so, new fo.rms of bodywork, as well as energy medicine, mind/body medicine (although some components, such as meditation and hypnotherapy are much older), energy medicine, and environmental medicine, have all come into being. What's interesting to me is that the underlying principles and philosophy of holistic medicine have been a part of all traditional systems of healing for millennia (as early as 5,000 B.C. in China and India and elsewhere). It is conventional medicine, which has its roots in the Cartesian world view that came into vogue beginning in the 17th century and which led to a schism between the so-called physical sciences and non-physical inquiries, that is actually a you.ng fo.rm of alternative medicine, and one that still remains largely unproven, despite the medical establishment's claims to the contrary. It is also ironic that Descartes, whose insights ushered in the Cartesian age (the tenets of which are n.o.w being discarded due to developments in fields such as quantum physics) was holistic in his ways of thinking.
Do these methods cost a lot of mon.ey?
Not in comparison to conventional medicine. However, most types of therapies that fall under the alternative medicine umbrella are not covered by insur.ance and therefore have to be paid for out of pocket. This can become expensive, depending on a person's health issues, especially at the beginning phase of treatment, which may require diagnostic tests. Yet when conventional and holistic treatment costs are compared side by side without the issue of insu.rance, conventional medicine is by far the most cost effective fo.rm of treatment. Which explains why, until this and last year, when the huge pro.fits of the oil companies exceeded anything before known in modern commerce, the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. had combined net pro.fits that exceeded the combined pro.fits of the remaining 490 fortune 500 companies.
Another factor to consider is how relatively inexpensive preventive medicine is. Medical costs don't truly start to rise until after a person becomes sick. And the sicker they become, the more expensive their treatment is apt to be. We live in a culture that puts little value on prevention, however. Hence the $1.9 trillion expenditure on health care that are nation spends each year.
What kind of growth do you predict in the future for holistic medicine?
The trend clearly indicates that the majority of Americans are actively seeking alternatives to conventional health care. So much so, in fact, that most U.S medical schools n.o.w teach some component of holistic medicine as part of their required syllabus (although to a large degree such courses serve as little more than window dressing). So it would seem that the future will see holistic medicine becoming the primary fo.rm of health care. This may not be the case, however, as many alternative health organizations are (in my opinion, very foolishly) seeking to be part of the existing health care model. In the process, they are jettisoning many of the very tenets that distinguish holistic medicine from alloptahic care. This is certainly true of the vast majority of osteopathic physicians in the U.S. n.o.w (in England and elsewhere, osteopaths still retain much of their holistic roots), and is becoming more the case with chiropractic, acupuncture (which is increasingly being taught in the U.S. as an allopathic model), and, in the last few years, naturopathic medicine. All due, as far as I am concerned, to a desire to have more seats at the mon.ey trough that feeds conventional medicine with such largesse. So it really is up to the American public to insist on what type of health care they want. Unfortunately, a significant portion of the population has no desire to accept responsibility for their health and would seem to be satisfied with the existing health care model so long as they receive adequate insu.rance to participate in it. This despite the fact that the current model is a failure by every objective measure that can be made of it. We live in a society where laziness and ignorance are unfortunately part and parcel of who we are as a people.
The above sounds perhaps pessimistic. Indeed, it might be. But I temper it with my belief that the existing model of health care is not sustainable and will inevitably collapse under its own inefficiency and the greed that currently sustains it. Should it do so, viable alternatives will be the only solution. So, long-term, I would say the future is very bright for holistic medicine.
What do the job prospects [in the field of holistic medicine] look like in this future?
Excellent. Approximately 70 percent of all Americans use some fo.rm of alternative medicine, up from 34 percent a decade ago, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down.
I am currently a senior in high school and I am interested in a future career relating to this field. What are your recommendations for my decisions in the near future (college major, graduate degrees, etc.)?
Determine for yourself what aspect of holistic medicine most appeals to you. Then commit yourself to becoming trained in those areas. Given what is going on in the area of energy medicine, I am convinced this will be an increasingly popular health approach in the years ahead. The age of chemistry-based medicine is coming to an end, despite how prevalent drug care is at present.
Reader Feedback
Responding to the information I provided last issue about self-care approaches for gallstones and other gallbladder problems, Nancy Appleton, Ph.D, author of Lick the Sugar Habit and Stopping Inflammation wrote: You forgot to add the most important food to avoid sugar.
Nancy is correct and my apologies for the oversight.
Commenting on my interview with Dr. Dolores Krieger on Theraputic Touch, Lorraine A. writes: Thanks, Larry, for the information on Therapeutic Touch. I certainly want to learn more about it. As touch in general is healing, this specialty perks my interest indeed.
Many readers enjoyed my interview with Dr. Krieger. To find out more about Therapeutic Touch, I recommend that you read her books and visit www.therapeutic-touch.org.
And Ariella B. writes all the way from Israel about my experience working with Dr. Valerie Hunt, which I shared last month: Thanks for sharing your experience with Dr. Hunt. I feel your joy, relief and excitement over allowing yourself to feel anger and n.o.w moving in a new direction. It is so powerful. Keep up the work and thanks for this great health letter.
Thank you, Ariella! And thanks to all of you who continue to appreciate The Health Plus Letter. Knowing that you do is the main reason that I keep writing it.
Recommendations
Book:
The Traveler by John Twelve Hawks. Book one of a proposed trilogy, this novel provides a stunning portrayal of how significantly we have already surrendered our freedoms for the sake of a false security due to an ever increasing intrusion into our lives by modern technology and both government and corporate databases. The author, whose real name remains unknown even to his publisher and agent, claims to have extricated himself from this scenario years ago and today lives completely off the Grid (meaning he cannot be tracked by any database). As a thriller, this book has similarities to The Da Vinci Code, and though its ending is both formulaic and contrived, I still recommend it because of the information it contains.
