Cause

Thrush of the throat, tongue and lining of the mouth is caused by a fungus, or yeast, called Candida albicans, which normally lives in the body. If there is a disruption in the balance of organisms, the thrush organisms begin to multiply, and produce an infection. This may be a result of treatment with antibiotics, which destroys normal bacteria in the bowel, and allows the thrush organisms to flourish. Thrush can also be picked up during passage down the mother’s vagina at birth. If thrush organisms are present on anything that the baby sucks, such as a teat or pacifier, the baby may develop an oral infection. Children who have a weak immune system for whatever reasons are also more prone to developing thrush infections. But if your baby has thrush it does not necessarily mean he has poor immunity. Thrush is not contagious.

Clinical features

Usually babies and young children with oral thrush are unaware of it, as it generally does not irritate them unless the areas involved become severely inflamed. If this does occur, babies may be reluctant to feed and toddlers may play with or refuse their meals. Parents may notice that their child has white patches or plaques on the inside of the cheeks, lips and tongue.

When to see your doctor

• if you see white patches on the inside of your child’s mouth;

• if your child is generally unwell or has a fever for no apparent reason;

• if despite appropriate treatment, your child suffers from recurrent or persistent thrush infections.

Your doctor will usually prescribe special drops to be used after each feed or meal for 10 days. All teats and pacifiers should be sterilised to kill the thrush organisms. Sometimes oral thrush is accompanied by thrush in the nappy region, which needs treatment at the same time. Thrush is not a reason to stop breastfeeding. Your doctor may advise you to apply some anti-fungal cream to your nipples as well.

Prevention

Teats and bottles should be sterilised to prevent recurrent thrush.

Having a baby is something that as parents you look forward to for a long time. Partners often go to antenatal classes together during the pregnancy. You may shop for things such as the baby’s cot and pram, and derive pleasure from decorating the baby’s room. The labour may not be too difficult and the delivery may go smoothly. As a mother you may have the support of your partner, the doctor and the nursing staff throughout labour. In hospital the baby may seem beautiful and contented.

DIFFICULTIES WITH COPING

After a few weeks or even days at home with a new baby, your whole world may feel like it is collapsing. The baby may cry and grizzle, and wake several times every night. You feel exhausted all the time and you may have both started to doubt whether you are doing things the right way.

This scenario is very common with parents of newborn babies, especially if it is your first baby, or where previous babies have been ‘little angels’. The contrast between the fantasy and reality of having and looking after a new baby comes as a great shock to many parents. Most become very tired and may have very little or no energy left over for anything except looking after the baby. This can make you both very tense, and this is made worse by sleep deprivation and the inability to find time to relax. You may lose your appetite for food, and sometimes even for life in general. This tends to affect the primary care-giver most, but places a great strain on the relationship with the partner as well, who usually has to hold down a full-time job. The baby’s continual demands can make parents angry and anxious about their ability to meet all their baby’s needs. You may find yourself frequently

in tears, having tantrums and sometimes directing outbursts or anger at your partner, the baby’s grandparents or anyone else who just happens to be around at the time. More often, however, there is quiet despair, a sinking feeling, a feeling of just not coping.

This is the mechanistic aspect of the sexual health examination. Whether or not you are experiencing illness at this time in your life, assess your ability to move, to actually “do” the things you would like to do sexually.

“I know this sounds like an excuse, but I get terrible cramps in my legs whenever I’m on top,” reported one wife. “I start out okay. Then, after a while, they start to ache at the thigh and then my feet get these terrible cramps.”

“I can’t control my movements when I thrust,” said another husband. “My back tends to go out on me sometimes, and I sort of hold back so that won’t happen.”

In these two examples, prescription of special exercises and sexual-posture adjustment corrected the problems. Following medical examination to rale out any factors that might have contributed to her cramping (always a necessary first step), this wife was told that there was no reason that she should stop using the posture she preferred. She had not tried this position in five years, but when she was taught to push her open hands against her husband’s hands as he pushed up against hers, the cramps disappeared. The problem was approached with both partners as a team, a system, and the obstacle was removed.

The medical examination of the husband revealed a kidney stone that had not been diagnosed. The doctor decided that the stone could not be removed at this time, and the patient was instructed with his wife present that any coital movements would have no effect on the stone and certainly not cause problems for a back injury he never really had.

So take a look at the ability factor, your range of sexuai motion, stamina, and incoming/outgoing stimulation capacity. My work with paraplegic patients resulted in what those patients came to call the “top to bottom and back” test. Try it yourself:

Lie down in bed alone and start at the very top of your head. From that spot, mentally and, where possible, physically with your own hands scan down every part of your body and back up again. These are the questions the paraplegic patients used, and I found that they help patients with any disease process and persons without current disease to understand the “doing” aspect of sex.

1. Can I move the way I want here?

2. Can I feel here?

3. How could I please a partner with this area of my body?

4. How might a partner please himself or herself with this area of my body?

5. How do I feel about this area of my body?

Healthy? Strong? Safe? Soft?

Attractive (to myself and my partner)?

6. How does this part compare to other parts of my body?

7. How has my disease or health problem affected this area of my body, if at all?

8. How has this part of my body changed over the years?

9. What is the range of capacity for this part of my body (range of motion, posturing, etc.)?

10. How could I use another part of my body to compensate for a problem somewhere else?

11. What might I do to help out this part of my body? Is there a postural, positioning, even lighting or furniture change that could help?

12. Lie quietly and feel your body as a whole. How do you feel, how does it feel to you at this time of your life?

Other mini-questions may occur to you as you explore your sexual ability. This is the “what am I able to enjoy sex with? ” part of the sexual health exam, and any questions or concerns about health should be brought to the attention of your doctor. This is not a question of cosmetics or assessment of your place on the sexual attractiveness scale. It is an opportunity to check out the “hardware” of the system before you look at the more important “software” issues.

Based on native American Indian and other native people recipes, published by Hulda Regher Clark (see the References)

Herbs:

1. black walnut hulls – from the black walnut tree. Use water based tincture. Use 10-20 drops each time.

2. wormwood – from the Artemisia absynthium shrub. Buy it for your garden. It has been named for a good reason long time ago and it is mentioned in many ancient scripts, including the Bible. Take one dried leaf in a teaspoon of honey each time.

3. common cloves – from the clove tree. This is a common spice used in baking. Grind your own fresh cloves (not stored for a long time). Use a small amount of ground powder mixed with a fruit juice – a tip of the teaspoon is enough.

Taken together, these herbs help to eliminate over 100 common parasites in humans.

Black walnut hull and wormwood help to eliminate adult parasites as well as their various development stages. Cloves eliminates eggs. This is the only known method to eliminate parasite eggs.

Use the combination of above herbs 3 times a day before meals for a few days. For more information read books by Hulda Regher Clark.

After eliminating parasites, we should take care not to create favourite conditions to them again. Attention to detoxification and the diet should be our strategy.

The commonest cause of recurrent abdominal pain is what is called the spastic colon or the irritable bowel syndrome.

Exactly why it occurs is unknown although it is believed to be due to anxiety. Apparently the muscles in the wall of the large bowel are overactive, and go into cramp-like spasms which cause pain and either diarrhoea or constipation.

Treatment consists first in making the diagnosis and so relieving the patient’s anxiety that the symptoms might be due to cancer. Drugs which reduce the spasm in the muscles have been of value, as have tranquillisers and a diet high in fibre content.

Some researchers are not at all convinced that the irritable bowel syndrome is due to nervous tension. They think that only those with a high level of anxiety go to the doctor to complain about their abdominal pain; the rest simply put up with it.

If it is not due to anxiety, what does cause it? Food allergy is often suspected; the modern highly refined diet low in bulk is another possibility.
