Literally from the halls of Montezuma, where they call colitis the Aztec Two-step, to the shores of Tripoli where it became famous as the Tropical Trots, colitis in some form or other is universal. It has been prevalent, probably, ever since Eve took that famous first bite out of the apple. There is scarcely a [...]

The Backache of Colitis – Oh! My Aching Back!
Colitis is indeed an ailment of aches and pains, some quite characteristic as a backache and some very confusing. Among its symptoms is a wide variety of sensations, varying all the way from an insistent weariness to an unceasing hunger somehow not connected with appetite. Then too, many of the aches, pains and other symptoms [...]
Anal Itching – Colitis Disease – Go Home and Forget About It
I have anal itching and it’s driving me crazy doc! There are few situations in the field of health which are more distressing both to patient and to doctor than being faced with a string of negative results of all examinations. Patients are often told, “there is nothing wrong with you. Go home and forget [...]
Arthritis and Colitis Disease
Perhaps the most crippling ailment to which the human flesh is subject is arthritis. It surely is one of the most widespread of all ailments as it is to be found in all ages and in all lands. The origin of arthritis must indeed be lost in the mists of antiquity. Not long ago, I [...]
Clean Drinking Water – The Forgotten Healing Beverage
More than a pulse for life, clean drinking water is a necessity. “What’ll you have?” (meaning of course what will you have to drink) is what the lawyers call a leading question.

Enlarged Prostate Gland – The Colitis Connection

The strangeness of the mention is increased by the knowledge of the fact that the prostate gland is in no way connected, either in position or in function, with the food digestion canal except for [...]
Rectum Diseases and Colitis Disease
There is a very definite interrelation between rectum diseases and colitis.

If it be capable [...]
Anemia, Digestive Juices and the Colitis Connection
The blitheness with which some doctors and almost every layman dismiss the condition known as anemia is amazing. “The doctor says I’m just a little anemic” is passed off as practically a clean bill of health. Yet right here is a serious weakening in the first line of defense against disorder and disease. The life [...]
Heart Disease and Colitis
How on earth can colitis cause heart disease? Well, your amazement at this question is just as great as mine was when I first discovered that one of my patients, who had for some time past thought that he was suffering from severe coronary disease (heart disease), discovered that when his colitis had been cured, [...]
Caffiene Coffee Effects – A Friendly Cup of Java
Coffee is a pleasant tasting beverage that damn near kills some people who cannot live without it. At least, these good people think they cannot live without it, and nothing is but what thinking makes it so. What they, of course, fail to realize is that they have allowed coffee drinking to run away with [...]
