About 400 to 500 heat stroke victims die per year and thousands have continuing medical problems after such a near disaster.

Heat stroke is just one of four heat related illnesses caused by failure of our bodies to get rid of heat faster than we make it or absorb it. The human body normally effectively gets rid of excess heat by sweating and evaporation to carry heat off in the surrounding air decreasing central body temperature.

Heat cramps usually occur in the arms, legs, or lower abdomen and are the mildest of the four disorders resulting from mild dehydration and loss of body sodium. Older persons on diuretics or fluid pills are particularly prone to this condition. Replacing lots of water and using sodium containing drinks and letting the affected person rest in cooler surroundings will usually lead to a rapid recovery.

Heat syncope (passing out, faintness, dizziness) is the second most serious heat related illness and occurs as heat cramps are ignored and untreated in really hot situations or with very strenuous exercise or work. Dizziness and fainting occurs because dehydration makes it difficult for your body to maintain normal blood pressures, blood flow to your brain and provide excess skin blood flow at the same time!

Heat syncope is best treated by letting the person lie down, not sit, and giving cool oral re-hydration in a cool environment. However, if they are unconscious, you should seek medical attention immediately!

Heat exhaustion occurs when your body loses large amounts of water and salt through perspiration and is the third most serious of the heat-associated disorders. Heat exhaustion commonly occurs with very strenuous physical labor, but can occur in inactive persons on low salt diets and diuretics.

Heat exhaustion is associated with all of the above-mentioned symptoms plus profuse hot sweating, headache, blurry vision, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, chills, muscle weakness, skin flushing, extreme thirst, irritability, agitation, and sometimes loss of consciousness and rarely seizures. Core body temperatures in heat prostration rarely go above 103 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit.

Though rarely life threatening, heat exhaustion requires immediate first aid type attention as it may progress to heat stroke. The very same treatment used in heat syncope will often work, but if the affected person becomes confused, passes out, has difficulty breathing, starts vomiting, or has a seizure, you must seek emergency medical attention immediately! It may help to remove about half of the person’s clothing to assist in evaporation of sweat.

Heat stroke is of course the worse of the heat related illnesses and is a true life-threatening medical emergency.

Persons suffering from heat stroke have very high body temperatures, often in the 104 to 109 degree range, but when touched, will have a hot, dry skin. Other symptoms include sudden shortness of breath, seizures, decreased urination and sometimes blood in the urine, unconsciousness followed by coma, and if untreated, death. You must call 911 immediately to save this person’s life.

While waiting for an ambulance, remove all clothing, spray the person with cool water, place ice packs on the neck, wrists, ankles and groin, armpits, and if conscious and not vomiting or delirious, give cool liquids to drink.

So, what can you do to keep from developing heat related illnesses?

Drink lots of water on hot days. Listen to the weatherman and avoid being outside or in direct sun at the hottest times of the day. If you don’t have air conditioning, use fans to cool and move air to help with perspiration evaporation or go to an air-conditioned store or mall during the hottest parts of the day.

Avoid caffeine and alcohol. Both alter the way your body provides blood flow to the skin allowing sweating and evaporation of heat. Wear light colored, lightweight clothing such as cotton when exposed to excessively hot temperatures or when you plan to be outdoors for more than 30 minutes. Talk to your doctor about your medications and what you should do about water, salt containing sports drinks and exercise or exertion in heat. When standing in hot conditions for long periods, such as watching sports events or a parade, avoid sudden exertion, drink water as you watch, wear a hat and if you get too hot, spray your skin with water, loosen clothing or go inside to cooler temperatures.

Wet clothing does not provide as much heat loss as wet skin from which water may evaporate! Know your work-play heat related limits. Plan for rest and cool off times when working in the yard or during exercise and recreation. Go slowly at whatever you plan to do in hot environments. Acclimation occurs as a person slowly gets used to being in the heat.

Hopefully these tips and items of knowledge will help you protect yourself and family from the disasters known as heat related illnesses. Dr. Frank

Endometriosis: A Nutritional Approach
by Dr. David Enders

Endometriosis was first recognized as a pathologic entity at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is defined as a condition resulting from disseminated implants of actively growing and functioning endometrial tissue in aberrant locations outside of the uterus. Symptoms of the disease never appear before the menarche and are most frequently seen in women in their twenties or thirties. The disease usually ceases to be a problem after a woman reaches menopause.

Symptoms of the disease will vary with the location of the lesion. The most common symptoms are lower abdominal pain, backache, dyspareunia, menorrhagia, pre- and post- menstrual staining, bladder irritability, hematuria, bowel disturbances with painful defecation and rectal bleeding, painful inguinal swellings, sterility, and dysmenorrhea. The symptoms are accentuated by menstruation and will usually decrease and/or completely subside at the end or just after the period.

Nutritional support offers a promising adjunct to drugs or surgery. Any nutritional support will be more effective if the woman has first received a thorough chiropractic evaluation and treatment. A normally functioning nervous system is a prerequisite for a complete restoration of optimal health.

Nutritional support should include the following:

1. Phyto-Sterols to balance the hormonal system. An estrogen – progesterone imbalance or deficiency may result in menstrual dysfunction. A supplement containing Mexican Wild Yam, Beta Sitosterol, and specific amino acids would be ideal.

2. Phyto-Nutrients from a variety of cruciferous vegetables and fruit provides newly discovered plant chemicals that assist in cellular repair.

3. Glyconutrients provide the necessary plant sugars needed for cell-to-cell communication and immune support.

4. Vitamin / Mineral supplement, food formed would be best. Provides many co-factors need for optimal health.

Please understand that this is not a prescription to cure anything, but simply a guideline to better provide nutritional support. Dr. Enders may be contacted at nelja@mannapages.com.

Operation Failed?

The patient awakened after the operation to find herself in a room with all the blinds drawn.

"Why are all the blinds closed?" she asked her doctor.

"Well," the surgeon responded, "They're fighting a huge fire across the street, and we didn't want you to wake up and think the operation had failed."

An elementary school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her 5- and 6-year-olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor thy father and thy mother," she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"

A little boy piped up: "Thou shall not kill."

At an international conference, an American, a Brit, and a Russian were discussing the shortcomings of their diagnoses.

"I can't stand it some time. We treat people for cancer, and then they die of AIDS".

"I know what you mean." said the Brit. "We treat them for yellow fever, and it turns out they had malaria. Then, of course, they die".

"That is not a problem in our country" said the Russian doctor. "When we treat people for a disease, they die of *that* disease."

Medical treatment, during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, was aimed at ridding the sick of "vile humours" by vomiting, purging, and bleeding. The treatment was often the immediate cause of death. Some prescriptions called for "letting" more blood than is now known to exist in the whole body.

If you need to lose weight, you must be in caloric deficit. This can be accomplished by cutting down your caloric intake, or increasing the amount of calories you burn by exercising. I recommend both. Even though a calorie is a calorie when it comes to weight loss, a calorie is not a calorie when it comes to your health. Make sure your daily diet includes several servings of fruit and vegetables and whenever possible, avoid foods that contain trans fat.
