CAFFEINE: Herbs: Dandelion, to act as a substitute with Chicory and remove this Chemical from the diet.
CALLUSES: Treatment: Soften with a slice of Fresh Lemon. (Leave on overnight and remove in the morning.) Use a hot Potato Poultice each night. Wear comfortable shoes and go Barefoot whenever possible. Bathe the Feet in a hot Epsom Salts or Chamomile Tea Foot Bath.
CANCER: Cause: Could be Immune System suppression or Free Radical Disease. The Cells that are effected, form malignant tumours that either destroy or compress the other normal Tissues, characterised by unrestrained Cell growth that can spread to all parts of the Body. Symptoms: Blood in a stool, a Mole that changes colour and size, Coughing up Blood, a sudden change in Bowel habits, a persistent Sore Throat or change in the Voice, an unusual Lump in the Breast, persistent Head Aches and or / change in Vision. Treatment: Chemotherapy has been developed from particular plants to fight this Condition, such as Taxol used as a treatment for Breast and Ovarian Cancer produced from the Pacific Yew Tree, Etoposide for Small Lung Cancer, and for Testicular Cancer from the May Apple, Vinblastine and Vincristine for Hodgkin's Disease, Leukemia and Lymphomas from the Madagascar Periwinkle. Natural Treatment: Anti - Oxidants are required in the diet to control the Free Radicals that may be the cause of this Condition and some Anti - Oxidant Nutrients such as Selenium are lacking in Australian soils reducing the Body's natural protection. The ideal is to enhance the amount of Cancer fighting compounds found in Foods, such as Sulphides in Garlic, Capsaicin in Red Peppers, Limonene in Citrus Fruits, Linseeds, natural Liquorice (not sweetened) and Lycopene in Tomatoes and Rosemary. (All 3 Body Systems must be treated,) The Body, The Mind and the Spirit. Increase Raw Food consumption to a 75% High Fibre diet, Fruits, Vegetables, and 15% less Fat and Red Meat, have a greater variety in the diet and less monotony. The balance of 10% should be made up of Protein from Dairy Products, Fish, Lean Meats, Lentils, Nuts and Seeds. Broccoli, Cabbage, Brussels Sprouts and Cauliflower contain Indole - 3 Carbinol a compound that reduces the risk of Breast Cancer by speeding up the Metabolism of Oestrogen. Beta - Carotene a natural Anti - Oxidant is found in Green and Yellow Vegetables that may prevent and reverse the changes in Cells and these especially assist to control Free Radicals (free roaming Oxygen Molecules that can damage the Body Systems.) Consume Foods rich in nutrients believed to have Cancer fighting properties, such as Beta - Carotene, Fibre, Vitamins A, C, E and B12, Folic Acid, and especially Selenium that is severely lacking in Australian soils. Two very important ingredients required in the diet are Fish Oil and Vitamin C. Consume more Cereals and Whole Grains, and less processed Sugar.

More Oestrogen - like compounds - Phytoestrogens from plants, fewer synthetic Hormones. Avoid foods linked with Cancer such as Alcohol, Caffeine, Food Additives, Fried foods, Margarine, Milk Products, Red Meats and Smoked foods. N.B: Caffeine stimulates Gastric Acid secretion, which may lead to Stomach Ulcers and increase the chances of a Heart Attack occurring as Coffee increases Serum Cholesterol linked to Arteriosclerosis (Hardening of the Arteries) and an increase in the risk factor for Coronary Heart Disease. Increase the intake of Carrot, Beetroot, Collards / Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale and other Greens. Include Fish Oils / Omega 3 and add Garlic, Ginger, Onions and Turmeric, which are proven Cancer fighters. (Phytolacca is specific for the Breasts and Uterus.) For suspect Skin spots use fresh Sap or Ointment of the Petty Spurge. N.B: Smoking increases the risk of Lung and Throat Cancer, including side stream smoke that has more Toxins than mainstream smoke but both affect the Circulatory System as Toxins such as Nicotine effect the Arteries and Veins causing constriction. This increases Blood Pressure, Heart pain, increased Ageing and even Gangrene of the Legs. It causes Heart Disease and risk of Cancer by 30%, activates Menopause that accelerates Osteoporosis, affects Hearing reducing the Blood supply to the Cochlea. Diabetics and sufferers of Heart Burn and Ulcers should definitely not smoke. It also destroys Nutrients, especially Vitamin C. Formula: Evening Primrose Oil, Fish Oil / Omega 3, Vitamins A, C, E and Zinc, Garlic for Selenium and Beta - Carotene, Calcium Phosphate, Lactobacillus Acidophilus / Yoghurt, and Echinacea. Herbs: Chopped cooked Beet, Burdock, fresh Calendula Flowers, Celery, fresh Chicory Flowers, Chives, Cleavers, Comfrey, Cucumbers, Cumin, Dandelion, Echinacea, Evening Primrose Oil, Garlic, Nettle, Flaxseed Oil / Linseed, Hot Peppers, Lemon Juice, Onions, Peanuts, Poke Salad, Purslane, Red Clover Flowers, Red Peppers, Rosemary Oil, Sage, Tomatoes, Violet Leaves. Only the Body can cure Cancer and natural Therapies can support the Body.
CANDIDA albicans / Oral Thrush: Symptoms: Bloating, Indigestion, Flatulence, Lethargy and Thrush or Redness, Ulcers and irritation in the Mouth or Genitals. Treatment: Can be overcome by improving the Digestive secretions that may have been affected by antibiotics especially those used for Skin disorders as they unbalance the natural Gut Flora and diminish Lactobacillus Acidophilus in the Intestine required for normal Digestion. High Roughage, Complex Carbohydrate diet low in Dairy Products, low in Yeast, with no refined Carbohydrates followed by Garlic and then recolonise the Intestine with Acidophilus. Avoid foods containing Yeast and Sugar, which only feed the Yeast Infection. Eat Vegetables, lean Meat, Legumes, Fish, Nuts, Poultry and Seeds. (Acidophilus and Bifiddius Powder or Yoghurt also assists.) Improve Liver function by ingesting Beetroot, Carrot and Green Juices or by eating in a Salad. (Bitters stimulate the Digestive System.) Herbs: Cinnamon, Dandelion, Echinacea, Garlic, Ginger, Rosemary, Thyme and Yellow Dock. Formula: Evening Primrose Oil (1 Capsule 3 times a day,) Vitamins A, C and E and the herbs Echinacea and Garlic.

Eliminate from the diet, Alcohol, Chewing Gum, Citrus Fruits, Coffee, Dairy Products, Meat, Pineapple, Spicy Foods, Tomatoes, Toothpaste and Vinegar and other Acid Foods and anything that you are Allergic to. Use Ice and rinse the Mouth with Salt Water. Herbs: Canker Root, Garlic, Ginger, Golden Seal, Herb Tannin Teas, Liquorice, Myrrh, Sage Tea, Thyme and Wild Geranium.
CAPEWEED BLINDNESS: Horses: Occurs occasionally even without Stringhalt occurring first. Treatment: Remove from grazing the Capeweed or permanent blindness will result. 1 x Dessertspoon of Cod Liver Oil, Dolomite and Seaweed Meal daily for at least a week and then Cod Liver Oil back to once a week.
CAPPED HOCKS: Horses: Use Witch Hazel immediately to draw the Fluid back into the Tissues.
CARDIAC ARRHYTHMIA: Symptoms: Irregular Heart beat either too fast / tachycardia (over 100 beats a minute) or too slow (bradycardia (fewer then 60 beats a minute) - usually in people over 50 that can lead to Heart Attack. Atrial Arrhythmia is when the Heart's ability to pump the Blood from its upper chambers, which results in pooling, that can form clots that trigger Heart Attack or Stroke. Ventricular Arrhythmia affects the Heart's larger lower chambers that creates ventricular fibrillation in which the chambers quiver weakly instead of contracting vigourously and is responsible for most Heart Attack fatalities. To prevent choose a low Fat diet, Exercise regularly, Do not Smoke, manage Stress and Blood Pressure and Cholesterol levels. Herbs: Angelica, Astralagus, Barberry, Canola Oil, Cinchona, Ginkgo, Hawthorn, Horehound, Khella, Motherwort, Purslane, Reishi, Scotch Broom and Valerian.
CARDIOVASCULAR CONDTIONS: - Herbs: Ginger, Milk Thistle,
CARPAL TUNNEL / Repetitive Motion Injury / CTS. Symptoms: Pain, weakness, Finger stiffness and a pins and needles sensation. Cause: Compression of the Nerve that passes through the tunnel formed by the Wrist Bones. Women develop this Condition more then Men due to Hormone fluctuations, during Menstrual Cycles, Pregnancy and Menopause creating swelling of the Tissues surrounding the Carpal Tunnel. Take Vitamin B6 for 6 - 12 weeks. Vitamin B6 is also found in Brewer's Yeast and most Greens such as Green Peppers, Kale, Spinach and Turnip Greens. N.B: Too much Vitamin B6 can lead to Nerve Disorders. Exercise the Muscles that are giving the Problem and manage Stress with relaxing Aromatherapy Oil. Take two steel balls in one hand and roll them around when not typing. Use warm Compresses or Comfrey Poultice. Herbs: Chamomile, Comfrey, Cumin, Pineapple, Red Pepper, Turmeric, Sage and Willow Bark, Vitamin B6 Foods - Bananas, Cauliflower, Okra, Spinach and Watercress.
CATARACTS: Symptoms: Cloudy areas that develop in the normally clear Lens of the Eye effecting 20% of the population, mostly the elderly with only 15% Selenium levels in the Eye. Cause: Oxidation, a Biochemical process when a highly reactive form of Oxygen changes within the Cells. (Smokers have a greater risk) Diabetes sufferers or Heavy Metal poisoning and those who use Steroids over a long period are at risk. Anti - Oxidants are required to prevent this Condition by neutralizing Free Radicals (renegade Oxygen Molecules that are damaging to the Body.) Vitamin A, C and E, Flavonoids and Selenium. Also the trace Minerals Magnesium and Manganese contained in Enzymes dispose of Proteins damaged by Oxidation that contribute to Eye Clouding. Wear Sunglasses to avoid glare. Eat Natural Foods with plenty of Legumes, Red, Yellow and Green Vegetables and Fruits. Herbs: Bilberry, Brazil Nut, Capers, Carrot, Catnip / Catmint, Eyebright, Garlic, Ginger, Onion, Purslane, Rosemary, Sneezewort and Turmeric.
