HELPING TURN OFF DRUG ABUSE: THE TERROR OF THE ADDICT

2010-07-08T06:06:00.000-07:00

Health officials see a new and terrifying danger: young teenagers who regularly abuse and combine many different drugs.
They end up with shattered and impotent lives, out of school, unemployable, often in jail, and sometimes dead.
I talked to such a teen we'll call Ronny; I cannot give her real name. A pretty, brown-eyed high school junior of 16, she lives in a wealthy New Jersey suburb.
"I drank a lot," Ronny says, "dropped acid, smoked pot, did cocaine and everything else. I couldn't live without it." After months in treatment, Ronny freed herself from drugs.
George Beschner, chief of the treatment research branch at the National Institute on Drug Abuse, estimated then that multiple drug use had trapped as many as 1.2 million adolescents in America. Most of the multiple-drug abusers are youngsters who use marijuana every day.
"It cuts across all ethnic and income groups," he explains. "And we really don't know enough about how to treat them and prevent this problem."

INFANT FEEDING: FOOD HABITS

2010-07-08T06:05:00.000-07:00

Good food habits in infancy and childhood will lead in later life to a liking for a wide variety of foods and the willingness to accept change. Parents have a wonderful opportunity as well as a tremendous responsibility for the development of good food habits in the young infant.
1. Hold the young baby while he receives his formula to provide the feelings of satisfaction, security, and warmth.
2. Regulate the feeding schedule to the baby, not to the clock.
3. Introduce only one new food at a time.
4. Give new foods at the beginning of the meal when the baby is hungry.
5. Serve only small portions of a new food; a taste is enough.
6. Don't show your dislike of a food by the expression on your face or by refusing to eat the food yourself.
7. Babies, like adults, are hungrier at some times than others. Don't expect them to finish every bottle or everything at every meal.
8. Expect that the baby will feel his food and be messy. Don't scold him for spilling accidents.
9. Use a cup that does not tip easily, a deep bowl with rounded edges, and a spoon that can be managed by the baby. Provide safe and comfortable seating.

SURVIVING IN POISONED WORLD: DIET AS ONE OF THE PROTECTIVE MEASURES

2010-07-08T06:04:00.000-07:00

Fortify your diet with the following vitamins, minerals, special foods and food supplements which have been found in extensive world-wide research to have specific protective, neutralizing and detoxifying properties against poisons in your environment, your air, your water and your food:
• Yogurt and other soured milks. It has been found that sour milk bacteria neutralize most poisons, but specifically DDT and Strontium 90, and make them "safer," that is, minimize their damaging effect on the body. One pint to one quart a day.
• Kelp. An excellent protector against radioactive fallout substances such as Strontium 90 and radioactive iodine. Five to 10 tablets or 1 to 2 tsp. of granules a day.
• Lecithin. Lecithin neutralizes all body poisons. One to 2 tbsp. a day.
• Brewer's yeast. Best natural protective food against pollution. Helps your liver in its detoxifying work. Use generously: 2, 3 or more tbsp. a day.
• Vitamin B-complex, high potency. B-vitamins protect you against many toxic residues in foods.
• Vitamin B1. Specific protector against damaging effect of lead. 25 mg. a day.
• Vitamin В15- Effective protector against air pollution, particularly against dangerous effect of carbon monoxide. 100 mg. a day.
• Pantothenic acid. Protector against radiation injuries, etc. Up to 100 mg. a day. Brewer's yeast is an excellent source.
• Vitamin С Number one anti-toxin. It will help your body to withstand the toxic assault better and prevent damage. It will protect all your organs and glands. Large doses up to 3,000 mg. a day. In acute cases of poisoning from any source, doses of 1,500 mg. every hour, up to 10,000 mg. a day.
• Vitamin E. Effective protector against poisons in polluted air, especially ozone, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. Helps liver in its detoxifying work. Protects you against most poison in food, water and air. Up to 600 IU a day. (For higher dosage, or if suffering from rheumatic heart disease, or high blood pressure, consult your doctor.)
• Vitamin A. Improves your body's oxygen economy and, thus, protects you against damaging effect of smog. Up to 25,000 USP units a day.
• Vitamin D. Improves the utilization of calcium, one of the most important anti-toxin minerals. Up to 2,500 USP units a day.
• Calcium and magnesium. Help your body to neutralize and pass off many toxic substances, such as lead, mercury, Strontium 90, radioactive iodine and cadmium. Calcium up to 1,000 mg., magnesium, up to 500 mg. a day. Bone meal tablets (with bone-marrow) and dolomite are good sources of calcium and magnesium.

IMMUNITY AND VACCINATION

2010-07-08T06:02:00.000-07:00

In the eighteenth century people deliberately caught smallpox from mild cases. It was a dangerous practice, for there was far from a certainty that a severe case would not result.
Then Edward Jenner in the last years of the eighteenth century investigated the belief, popular in the English countryside that an attack of cowpox protected from smallpox. He took matter from the hand of a dairy maid with cowpox and inoculated a small boy. Two months later he took matter from a smallpox pustule and put it into the same boy, who did not get the disease, thus demonstrating his immunity. Innumerable observations have proven to all logical minds that vaccination is an almost certain preventative of smallpox.
In my youth on Cape Cod pock-marked faces were not uncommon. A good-looking girl in my high-school class went to Boston and there got smallpox. She was no longer good looking. But today there is not much smallpox around and vaccination is going out of fashion. The immunity will drop way down in the population and some day smallpox, which has been building up its strength, may sneak up on us. We will be smart if we do not give up the habit of being vaccinated against smallpox.
Today we are finding that the heathen, dwelling in far parts of the earth where there is little hygiene and many infections, are doing better than we fortunate ones as regards poliomyelitis. It is now believed that it may be a common infection. We who keep fairly free of infection do not develop much immunity to it. The heathen are not much bothered with it for they have all had enough attacks to produce an immunity; but when we get an attack, we may be seriously stricken. Our extreme susceptibility makes a polio vaccine a dangerous thing.
The difficulties with the Salk vaccine rather parallel what occurred with Jenner's smallpox vaccine about 1800. The best physicians were slow to accept vaccination until it had given evidence of its worth. It took some time for them to learn just how to handle it and there were a good many bad side results, such as septicemia and syphilis. Such great changes in medicine should be handled slowly and carefully. The first Salk vaccine caused deaths in California and Idaho because the government tests had not been perfected enough to make sure that there was no live virus in the first vaccine. This is no criticism of the ultimate worth of the vaccine but of the hurried way in which it was introduced.

RECENT BAD NEWS ABOUT DRUG USE

2010-07-08T05:54:00.000-07:00

Twelve years ago, health officials saw some bright spots in this gloomy picture. The latest surveys from the National Institute on Drug Abuse showed modest but real declines since 1979 in puffing marijuana and popping hallucinogens and PCP, or "angel dust." The surveys also reveal a leveling off in cocaine use among the 18 to 25 age group.
In 1984, experts showed moderate optimism. Dr. Mitchell Rosenthal, director of New York City's Phoenix House, one of the nation's largest residential drug treatment programs said: "In our lifetime, you and I will probably see a significant decline in drug use. We will see high school kids dropping way back. We won't be in as dangerous a place as we are now."
It hasn't quite worked out that way. Over the period from 1992 to 1996 there was marked increase in the use of marijuana among high school teenagers. Parents met this with grim anticipation. Politicians used the statistic to batter their opponents. Experts had few solutions.
