 Introduction

Drs. Wallach and Ma Lan are offering an educational as well as an entertaining

manuscript in Let's Play Doctor.
Although alternative medicine holds quite a fascination for many of us, the subject
when reviewed in its entirety, as this book does, can tend to become dreary reading. Not
so here - with a wit deserving of wider recognition, the authors have succeeded in getting
across that allows the reader to grasp the importance of an idea without getting bored.
Perhpas just as important, the reader is led into some serious discussions, without creating
an impression that this is too deep or difficult for them to understand.
To bring the wealth of information from a licensed veterinarian and naturopathic
physician and a physician trained in Oriental medicine into a single volume has created
a rare and fulfilling experience in the realm of wholism. Although the authors may give
the impression of being slightly prejudiced as to their philosophy of healing, it is very
obvious that these beliefs are based on facts and personal observations through many
years of combined practice.
This is probably the first time a veterinarian turned physician has written about the
similarities and discrepancies of treating animals as compared to humans. In some
respects, it is frightening to know that the average animal that gets sick has a much better
chance of getting well than humans do. That the food we humans eat is almost guaranteed
to make animals sick, and that the minimum daily requirements for vitamins, minerals,
proteins and fats are much more well researched in animals than man - and that the
Recommended Daily Allowances are considerably higher.
When we consider that most animals live to approximately twenty times their age of
maturity and man only five times his, we see the wisdom of a wellness lifestyle. Let's Play
Doctor will guide you through the intricacies of basic health care, teach you how to supply
your personal "health" cabinet and how to diagnose simple illnesses with ease. Enjoy
reading the book!

 Foreword

I have known Joel Wallach for many years and he never ceases to amaze me. He is busy,
bright, and has his finger in more modalities of healing than I ever knew existed. I first met him
about 1 5 years ago when I was getting started in the nutritional approach to the care and feeding
of children. He was an inspiration as I was realizing how much the practice of veterinary
medicine is like pediatrics: one really has to use one's diagnostic acumen to figure out the
pathology.
I also became aware, with much help from Joel, He
that nutrition is the basis of health.
learned that through his veterinary training, and was reinforced when he discovered that many
it

of the diseases of animals have their counterparts in humans. He was able to show me that cystic
fibrosis was related to the selenium deficiency of the mother during the pregnancy and that the
full-blown disease in a child did not show up unless the deficiency was not corrected in the child
early. Of course, the standard orthodox medical thought still believes that genetics and genetics
alone determines who will get the disease and how seriously.
Joel has tried to get someone to believe his ideas are worth investigating, but once doctors
make up their minds - well, you know how stubborn they can be. I was like that one, but people
like Joel have helped me see the light. We (MD's) do not have all the answers. Knowing that

he has been forced to deal with these negative attitudes despite his presentation of reproducible
facts, you can understand his rather blatant doctor-bashing tirades scattered through the book.
Some is fair, and some is overdone. Go for it, Joel, get it off your chest!

The nice tiling about this book is that Joel asumes that the reader is reasonably intelligent. He
assumes the reader knows what a rash is, and that if a person has a high fever and a convulsion,
die reader would naturally dash off to the emergency room. Most everyone is aware that ice

water is best for burns, not lard.

His background in Naturopathic Medicine makes his remedies credible. We need to

become more familiar with the natural healing methods; we also need to know when to draw
the line between home care and a real emergency. I can remember one of our children giving
me a fright when she was but a baby. She had a high fever and a convulstion and I was trying
to be calm. "Let me see, now, what do I tell people over the 'phone when they call about this

medicine has flourished as a house of cards. Today the medical-pharmaceutical complex costs
Americans more money each year than does all the military and Pentagon spending combined
$817 billion yet our health among the western industrialized nations is listed as 17th by the
(i.e. ,

WHO). The extreme of this mentality is when "hungry orthodox" doctors get court orders to
force you to take blood transfusions or take chemotherapy against your religious beliefs or
charges you with child abuse and take your children away because your religion doesn't believe
in vaccinations — is this not the same as forcing you to attend a state operated church???

It is of interest that the 10,000 year old system of Traditional Chinese Medicine only paid
the doctor when you were well and stopped paying him when you became ill — this ancient
system combined with the veterinary mind set would be an ideal medical system!!!
My personal experience with "orthodox" doctors both as my physicians and fellow
researchers has been disastrous. The "orthodox" oncologist did not infoim me of any alternatives
when they "treated" my wife and killed her with chemotherapy in 1978; the "orthodox" doctors
deemed my son to have "learning disabilities" when, in fact, he had severe and debilitating food
allergies; pediatriciansmissed a diagnosis of folic acid deficiency anemia and a fractured arm in
my children; and lastly, they killed my father with a nosocomial infection initiated during a very
simple procedure. I am a faithful servant to anything I believe in so it took me until 1978 to realize
that was to have a

believed philosophically in nutrition as a basic bulwark against disease. It is now time to share

profession.

early age and we said to our friends, "Let's Play Doctor;" we "performed surgery," "delivered
babies," gave "physicals" and wrote "prescriptions." As we grew older, we developed other
interests (i.e., cars, math, dogs, etc.) and gleefully delegated our health care to the "orthodox"
M.D. The government bureaucrats recognized a "good thing," ran to get in on the act and
crowned the doctor "Bishops" of the "Bermuda Triangle" and themselves the first "Kings of the
Realm."

Most medical language is derived from
Latin or Greek and has been rendered down to
abbreviations (Table 2-1), prefixes (Table 2-
2), and suffixes (Table 2-3). The original
words have been abbreviated to save space

Medical suffixes work in much the same
manner as prefixes in that they modify the
word to which they are applied. A good
example is the suffix "-emia" meaning blood.
The prefix "a" or "an" by itself means "without;
add the suffix "-emia" and you have "anemia"
or "without blood." Another example would
be the word parasite. Add the suffix "-emia"

ARTHRITIS (rheumatism): is a devastating

degenerative disease of the joints. Symptoms
of joint pain, swelling and deformative changes
are typical. The cause of artliritis is listed as
unknown by "orthodox" medicine and treat-

ment is of the "take two aspirins and learn to

live with it" - prednisone (a synthetic corti-
sone) is used to treat symptoms. In fact,

arthritis is a complex of nutritional deficien-

cies - in the case of rheumatoid arthritis, a
chronic infection with a Mycoplasma spp. is

the overt cause. Again, if the truth were re-

leased the "orthodox" doctors would loose an
entire specialty in short order, so they keep it

a secret.

A dietary calcium/phosphorus ratio of 2:1 is

ideal yet is impossible to attain in an

unsupplemented diet. A vegetarian diet gets
close but is complicated by "phytates" (a natu-
ral chelating substance found in plants) which
makes even supplemented calcium unavail-
able. The calcium/phosphorus ratios of food

known today that the "cysts" of CF are, in fact,
a dilation of the pancreatic functional unit
(acini) with atrophy (shrinking) of the lining
tissue. In 1952, the fact that congenital
occurred ina significant number of CF patients
was established. The foundation of the ge-
netic theory of CF transmission is based on the
frequent congenital appearance and two very
poor papers, one published in 1913 which
claimed that two children with diarrhea had
an "inborn enor in fat metabolism" and one in
1965 that did an epidemiological study of a
group of 232 Australian families with CF —
despite six sets of twins, the study failed to
shed clear 1 ight on the proposed genetic theory
These papers were so poor they would not get
past the letter opener at any "orthodox" medi-
cal journal today. We have spent an inordi-
nate amount of time on CF because this syn-
drome again demonstrates very clearly that
any medical specialty will be eliminated by
discovery, that discovery will never be given
to the public by die "orthodox" doctors!!!
In 1978, the first universally accepted diagno-
sis of CF in a laboratory animal was made by
one of us (Dr. Joel Wallach). The diagnosis
was based on characteristic CF changes in the
pancreas and liver in baby monkeys and were
confirmed by CF experts from Johns Hopkins
School of Medicine, Emory University and the
University of Chicago!! Experts from NIH and
the CF Foundation were overjoyed - that is
until they learned that one of us (Wallach)
could reproduce the CF changes with
acongenital selenium deficiency in almost any
animal species. With this revelation, Wallach
was fired with 24 hours notice and "black-
balled" from research (to show you how ruth-
less they are, Wallach was fired ten days after
his wife died of cancer).
It has been learned recently that the positive
"sweat test" is the result of an essential fatty
well acid deficiency that causes a secondary defi-
ciency of "prostaglandin" (very short lived
hormones) that control the sodium, chlorides
and potassium levels of the sweat!!! Remem-
CF ber the talk by the distinguished anthropolo-
gist, Dr. Johnathon Leaky, Sr. who said "the
more facts you have, die better the truth you
have."
The prevention of CF has been accomplished
in pet, farm and laboratory animals by the
veterinary profession by assuring adequate
levels of selenium and essential fatty acid
nutriture to the preconception, pregnant and
nursing mother. This is not as easy as it sounds
because of malabsorption problems (i.e., ce-
liac diseases and Crohn's Disease) in a per-
centage of women!!! All things being normal
a supplementation of 200 meg selenium per
day and 5 gm of flaxseed oil t.i.d. would be
if adequate to prevent CF.
Treatment of CF is very basic - treat the infant
as early as possible with selenium IM at 10-25
meg per day. Plant derived colloidal minerals
may be used orally thereafter. Provide 5 gm of
flaxseed oil orally t.i.d. Most importantly YOU
MUST DETERMINE IFTHE INFANT IS ALLER-
GIC TO WHEAT, COWS MILK OR SOY!!! If
you do not correct the malabsorption prob-
lem, treatment will only be minimally effec-
tive. In the case of older CF patients, IV
essential fatty acids and IM selenium provide
excellent management leading to a normal life
expectancy of 75 years!!! Compare this ap-
proach to the heart and lung transplant offered
by the "orthodox" pediatricians!!!! If the proper
treatment is CF lung
carried out, the "typical
disease" will not develop. The lungs of CF
patients are normal at birth and only develop
bronchiectasis after chronic essential fatty acid

OBESITY (overweight): is a problem
various degrees in all industrialized nations
and, in particular, the United States. Obesity
has various causes and combinations of causes;
obesity is Rendered
not a simple problem.
down to its simplest terms obesity is consum-
ing and storing more calories than you
using. Starvation only complicates the conec-
tion of the problem as a starving body will shut
off calorieconsumption as an energy conser-
vation move; to avoid this body maneuver, be
sure to consume at least 1 ,000 calories per day
(a gradual but permanent loss of pounds and
inches will occur). Moderate exercise in the
form of walking, tennis, golf, swimming and/
or low impact aerobics (i.e., Chi Gong) is
adequate; don't forget the base line nutritional
supplements as your need for nutritional
supplementation becomes critical when you
are on a restricted diet. In fact 90% of obese
people over eat and binge because empty
calorie diets result in "pica" - a nibbling behav-
ior caused by the bodies search for trace
minerals! (Use colloidal minerals)!
Test for food allergies with the pulsetest and
do a six-hour glucose tolerance test to deter-
mine if you have hypoglycemia or diabetes
(remember a single fasting blood glucose test
will miss 99-9% of all hypoglycemics and 85%
of all diabetics).
"Treatment" of obesity is, in fact, a change
style and habits requiring as complete a
life
commitment as that required to stop smoking.
Avoid offending food allergens, avoid sugarin
all forms (i.e., solids as well as liquids), avoid
caffeine (caffeine lowers blood sugar and
makes you hungry!!!), avoid carbonated
drinks (even the one calorie varieties are loaded
with phosphates which will cause osteoporosis
over the long haul - you are already on a
restricted diet, don't compromise your min-
eral status any further); drink filtered spring
to water (distilled water is "hungry" water and
will demineralize your bones over a long
period of usage), drink 8-10 glasses of water
each day (40% of your water normally comes
from food - it only makes sense if you restrict
your food, you will also restrict water unless
are you make a conscious effort to drink enough)
as "compulsive"trips to the refrigerator are
most often subliminal searches for water (es-
pecially right after meals), use special salts to
flavor meals (potassium salt with kelp is excel-
lent), DO NOT SKIP MEALS, make breakfast
your largest most complete meal, lunch should
be a moderate meal with animal protein and
dinner should be a light "soup and salad," take
salmon oil at 5gmt.i.d. with meals, flaxseed oil

 Stress Scale

The stress produced by changes in our daily habits have been carefully observed,
charted and evaluated by psychologists. It became very obvious that certain changes
produced much greater stress than others. A number, according to the severity of the
response, was assigned to the thirty-seven most frequent changes in habits.

The stress scale on the following page can be used by you to determine where the
personal stresses in your life might lead you. Although it is easily understood when

properly examined, many do not recognize that the inability to accomodate stress pre-
ceeds possible illness or overwhelming urges. The alcoholic prone will consume more
alcohol, the smoker will smoke more and the one who finds solice in food will over-
eat.

Your ability to accomodate stress is directly related to the nutritional balance in

your body. This logically explains how one is able to sail through considerable stress
without serious consequences while another under similar stress has physical and/or
mental breakdowns. It's the chemistry that determines your reactions and you can
begin now to enhance your personal chemistry through proper nutrition.

If the stress rating scale shown

you exceeds 150 points of change in 12 months,
for
the chances are one out of two that you might suffer significant illness and a tremen-
dous urge to over eat during the following 24 months. If the amount of change ex-
ceeds 300 points in a 12 month period, the chances are better than four out of five that
you will suffer significant illness and a tremendous urge to overeat in the succeeding

24 months.

 Reflexology

The concept of reflexology holds that various organs, nerves, and glands In your body are con-
nected with certain "reflex areas" on the bottoms of your feet, hands, and other areas of the body.
Moreover, this philosophy claims that by massaging these corresponding areas, prompt relief from
a variety of conditions in the body can be obtained. In most instances the thumb, or sometimes a
knuckle, is used as the massaging force; although many use vibrators or other external forces.

Considerable credence has been given this work by science, now that we have more or less ex-
plained the mechanism by which acupuncture works, since the principle is the same and many
physicians are now using acupressure for a variety of conditions, including almost instantaneous
relief from headaches and toothaches. This should obviously not be misinterpreted to mean that this

methodology will cure the cause of this pain in these two instances, however, in cases of gland or
organ congestion, there have been dramatic rehabilitations reported.

The following charts may be of some assistance to you, if you wish to apply some very well
authenticated principles of healing to your body. There are several techniques such as rotary mo-
tion massage, back and forth massage, probing massage, etc., but the important factor Is to find
the right spot and if it is tender to the touch, massage the area. There is no question that you will

findmore tender spots on your feet than your hands, but that does not limit the effectiveness of

massaging the corresponding area on the hand that you found tender on the foot.

Probably one of the most immediate benefits from reflex massage is the feeling of complete relax-
ation after the session. Nervous tension, which Is so universal in our society, seems to just melt

away and you can enjoy deep, restful sleep. These charts may open the door for you to a different
way of maintaining health, vitality and the joy of living.
