The philosophy which demands that we be prepared for all eventualities well in advance so we can bear them with dignity and restraint is that of the ‘Stoic’ philosophers of the Roman Empire. This stoic philosophy, far from dying out with the ancient Romans, seems to be alive and well and flourishing as an integral part of modern Western culture. Large numbers of people seem to regard as culturally normal, a question such as:’What will I do next Thursday if nobody cooperates and everything goes wrong?’ The only answer I can reasonably give (and people literally do ask me questions such as this), is, ‘Panic, I suppose; perhaps burst into tears.’The best-known spokesman for Stoic philosophy was Seneca, one-time tutor to the young Emperor Nero. Nero later forced Seneca to suicide. In his Letters From a Stoic, Seneca advises his friend:Let the personality be made ready to face everything; let it be made to realize that it has come to terrain on which thunder and lightning play terrain on which’Grief and vengeful Care have set their couch,And pallid Sickness dwells, and drear Old Age.’ This is the company in which you must live out your days. Escape them you cannot, scorn them you can. And scorn them you will, if by constant reflection you have anticipated future happenings . . . We must see to it that nothing takes us by surprise . . . this habit of continual reflection will ensure that no form of adversity finds you a complete beginner.Christian philosophy, on the other hand, offers quite the opposite advice.This is why I tell you: do not be worried about the food and drink you need to stay alive, or about clothes for your body After all, isn’t life worth more than food? And isn’t the body worth more than clothes? Look at the birds flying around: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest, and put it in barns: your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren’t you worth much more than birds? Which one of you can live a few more years by worrying about it? . . . Your Father in heaven knows that you need all these things. Instead, be concerned above everything else with his Kingdom and with what he requires, and he will provide you with all these other things. So do not worry about tomorrow; it will have enough worries of its own. There is no need to add to the troubles each day brings.There are no prizes for guessing which of the two approaches would be better for preventing overload leading to stress breakdown. The problem, however, is the person caught in the middle, who perhaps is afraid to trust God enough to leave the future to him to worry about, but who believes enough in Christianity to be saddled with a list of do’s and don’ts which merely further overload the nervous system.

Otitis externa is an infection of the lining of the ear canal, on the outer side of the ear drum.

Cause

Otitis externa, also known as swimmer’s ear, is caused by an inflammation of the skin lining the ear canal. It is more common in children who swim a lot, because water remaining in the ear afterwards can be an irritant. Commonly, a secondary bacterial or fungal infection develops.

Clinical features

If your child has otitis externa, he may complain of a painful or itchy ear. Sometimes a discharge will be present. The ear usually feels blocked and your child may have difficulty in hearing.

Treatment

If your child has a mild case of otitis externa, your doctor may simply prescribe ear drops which usually have a combination of steroids and antibiotic in them. These should be used for a week and then the ear should be examined again. If your child has a more severe otitis externa, your doctor may insert a small length of gauze, called a wick, which is soaked in a solution of antibiotic and steroid. Do not touch the ear and make sure it is kept dry at all times. Do not allow your child to go swimming until the ear is completely healed.

• if your child complains of an earache;

• if there is discharge from the ear;

• if your child is generally unwell, has a fever or is vomiting;

• if otitis externa becomes a recurrent problem.

Prevention

If your child suffers from recurrent otitis externa, it may be helpful to put drops in the ear after swimming and bathing. Your doctor will be able to advise you about these.

Mild jaundice in babies is very common, and will occur in one out of two newborn babies. It is most noticeable from the third day after birth. It is usually harmless and resolves after a week or two without problems. Nonetheless, all cases of jaundice in newborn babies should be checked and monitored by a nurse or doctor. Some babies have severe jaundice, which very occasionally can lead to deafness and even brain damage if not treated promptly.

Cause

Jaundice is caused by the breakdown of red blood cells. This process releases a chemical called bilirubin which gives the skin its yellow colour. In babies the process of breakdown of red blood cells is very rapid, and the system in the liver of disposing of bilirubin is relatively immature. This overload causes what is termed physiological jaundice.

Another cause of jaundice in the newborn is breastmilk jaundice, in which a chemical secreted in the mother’s milk interferes with the breakdown of bilirubin. This usually resolves itself after several weeks and does not require treatment.

A rare cause of jaundice in the newborn is due to incompatibility of the mother’s and the baby’s blood groups. This is not usually a problem during a first pregnancy because the mother’s and the baby’s bloodstream do not mix. The problem arises after the delivery during which some of the baby’s blood may have mixed with the mother’s blood. The mother then develops antibodies which become active during the next pregnancy and cross the placenta to attack that baby’s red blood cells. If this has happened, it usually becomes apparent in the first 24 hours after birth. In this situation the mother develops antibodies (immunity), which recognise the baby’s red blood cells as foreign and attack them. Their destruction leads to the release of bilirubin into the baby’s bloodstream, and the subsequent appearance of jaundice.

    ”I have terrible cycles. There is a brief period of time when I

am turned on sexually, but other times I just hate it. It could

be PMS, couldn’t it?”

ANSWER: Premenstrual syndrome continues to be researched, and there is much left to learn. There is no doubt that some women, indeed some men, have strong and marked periods of emotional, physical, and intellectual changes related to neurohormonal patterns. There is also no doubt that sexual response is related to all life cycles. The best thing to do is to graph not just menstrual cycles, but any cycles you feel are taking place. At the same time, make a graph of your couple cycle, how the two of you are relating. See if there is any pattern or relationship. If there is, consider a medical checkup. There are dietary, exercise, and other tactics that can be tried that may help. Most often, though, there is a strong interaction between life stress and life cycles. There are usually good reasons why we feel sexual or do not feel sexual, and usually these relate more to how we are living than any innate predetermined pattern. Graphing the couple and spouse patterns, talking this over, and reducing general life stress are important steps. When sex problems are attributed to PMS, or to any one factor or partner, we fail to understand the systems nature of sexual intimacy, the MMS, meaningful marital system.

If you do not believe in the purity of the food you buy, grow it yourself. Instead of growing flowers at home, grow tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries or other fruits and vegetables you favour. Use the technique known today as “hydroponics”, known for centuries, used for example to create the famous “Gardens of Eden” in the middle of a dry land, considered to be one of the 10 wonders of the world. In this technique no soil is used, and the roots of the plant are washed in an optimal solution of natural mineral salts. Do not be frightened, if you have to buy these salts in concentrated form, they will be diluted to imitate natural concentrations. Hydroponic plants grow 2 to 4 times faster than similar plants left in the soil, because we care to provide an optimal food supply for them. Automatic, simple to use hydroponic systems are available today, requiring no more of your attention than would a fish tank.

Now, we know what is best to eat. The question we can ask is: what ft5ods are dangerous to eat and why ?

I have already demonstrated the devastating effects of solvents and other poisons entering our body. No one who understands the consequences of poisoning should ignore such warnings.

It is quite clear, that we should avoid foods containing colours, flavours and other food extracts. Not because of the extracts themselves, but because of dangerous solvents used to extract them. These solvents (benzene, various alcohols etc..) are directly responsible for most of the “incurable” diseases of 20-th century including cancer, AIDS and Alzheimer disease, just to mention a few.

Your body has a limited capacity to process solvents and alcohols. We seem to recover quite well from alcohol (ethanol) poisoning for example. Note, however, that such recovery takes time, during which you have the solvent (alcohol) present in your body, effectively assisting your parasite friends in their activities.

We should not limit our attention to food. Note, that our skin can also absorb poisons from the environment. For that reason, we should also examine all products which come in contact with our skin like soap, shampoo, toothpaste, cosmetics, perfumes, deodorants, hand creams, make-up, cleaning agents etc..

As an example, instead of a toothpaste, containing poisonous fluoride and many plant extracts of unknown quality, you could use salty water (1/2 glass of water + a teaspoon of salt). When your body is pure, salty water does an excellent job.

It may be not possible to avoid poisoning altogether, but with the knowledge we have acquired, we could greatly reduce the extent of poisoning, with minimal effort on our part. Note, that once you have selected a brand of shampoo for example, you need not to do it again. If you have the knowledge of how to make safe products, share this knowledge with others, in the way I am sharing what I know with you.

Complications are common. The virus may cause pneumonia or an encephalitis or inflammation of the brain and there may be secondary infection by bacteria causing both bronchitis and pneumonia.

If complications do not develop, the symptoms subside after four or more days but the person feels weak and listless for a week or two or even longer.

There is no mistaking an attack of influenza for a mild respiratory infection we all call the flu.

With influenza, the person is so sick he is confined to bed and unable to visit the doctor, who must come to him.

The treatment, as in any viral infection, is symptomatic. There are no antibiotics to kill the virus. However, in influenza, secondary bacterial infection is so common that most doctors will prescribe antibiotics to prevent or treat these secondary infections. Bedrest, fluids, aspirin or paracetamol to ease the aches and reduce the fever and a cough suppressant are all used.
