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 [...]
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 [...]
Rectum Diseases and Colitis Disease
There is a very definite interrelation between rectum diseases and colitis. That this should be so is quite understandable since both the colon and the rectum are parts of the same tube, namely the food digestion canal and the same material which passes through the colon also passes through the rectum. 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 [...]
Alcohol and Colitis Disease – And a Little Wine for Thy Stomach’s Sake!
In spite of Paul’s well-known admonition to Timothy, “Take a little wine for thy stomach’s sake,” all my experience has been that the milder drinks such as wine and beer have a far more deleterious effect upon the colon than do the stronger ones such as whiskey and rum. There is a good reason for [...]
Skin Diseases, Liver Spots and Colitis
Liver spots are light brown patches of irregular shape and size which usually appear on the skin of the face, on the cheeks, and over the bridge of the nose, though they may occur anywhere else on the body. Their occurrence has traditionally, though without scientific basis of fact, been associated with disorders of the [...]
So You’re Psychosomatic! (Nervous Breakdown and Colitis)
A time there was when many of the hidden ailments of the colon were considered merely the “vapors” or vagaries of the mind. People who were prone to be sensitive were observed also to be prone to vague abdominal distress. The logical deduction seemed to be that since this distress was due to their sensitive [...]
