re barbecued foods and health risk while in grad school i remember a biochemistry friend of mine working with heat shock proteins apparently burning protein will induce changes in he dna whether these changes survive the denaturing that occurs during digestion i don t know but i never eat burnt food because of this also many woods contain toxins as they are burnt it would seem logical that some may volatilise and get into the bbqed food again i don t know if these toxins antifungal and anti woodeater compounds would survive the rather harsh conditions of the stomach and intestine and then would they be able to cross the intestinal mucosa maybe someone with more biochemical background than myself which is almost anyone can shed some light on heat shock proteins and the toxins that may be in the wood used to make charcoal and bbq anne marie rousseau e mail rousseaua immunex com what i say has nothing to do with immunex

re is msg sensitivity superstition as nobody in the food industry has even bothered to address my previous question why do you need to put msg in almost every food i must assume that my wife s answer is closer to the truth than i hoped it was she believes that msg is added to food to cause people to eat more of it and not quit when they shoud be sated to put it a different way she believes that for some people msg causes them to act toward food like an addict eat all the chips chow down on several packages of noodle soup you get the idea if she is right then the moral and ethical standards of the food chemical and regulatory groups need to be addressed can msg be considered a conditioning substance not addictive but sort of habit forming this brings up a side question of mine i have noticed that cats my children s and my parent s seem to fixate on a particular brand of pet food the cat will eat any product within one brand and not any other brand i have wondered if this is not a case of preference but some sort of chemical training or addiction my questions for the net are does the fda regulate the contents of pet food is it allowed for pet food to contain addictive or conditioning substances is msg put in pet food i speak for myself and not motorola walter lundby

re barbecued foods and health risk i don t understand the assumption that because something is found to be carcinogenic that it would not be legal in the u s i think that naturally occuring substances excluding controlled substances are pretty much unregulated in terms of their use as food food additives or other consumption it s only when the chemists concoct sp an ingredient that it falls under fda regulations otherwise if they really looked closely they would find a reason to ban almost everything how in the world do you suppose it s legal to consume tobacco products which probably should be banned no there is something called the delany amendment which makes carcinogenic food additives illegal in any amount this was passed by congress in the s before stuff like mass spectrometry became available which increased detectable levels of substances by a couple orders of magnitude this is why things like cyclamates and red were banned they are very weakly carcinogenic in huge quantities in rats so under the act they are banned this also applies to natural carcinogens some of you might remember a time back in the s when root beer suddenly stopped tasting so good and never tasted so good again that was the time when safrole was banned this is the active flavoring ingredient in sassafras leaves if it were possible to market a root beer good like the old days someone would do it in order to make money the fact that no one does it indicates that enforcement is still in effect an odd exception to the rule seems to be the product known as gumbo file this is nothing more than coarsely ground dried sassafras leaves this is not only a natural product but a natural product still in its natural form so maybe that s how they evade delany or maybe a special exemption was made to appease powerful louisiana democrats

re hernia in article c qopx mq encore com sheffner encore com steve heffner writes a bit more than a year ago a hernia in my right groin was discovered it had produced a dull pain in that area the hernia was repaired using the least intrusive orthoscopic method and a plug and patch i suspect you mean laparoscopic instead of orthoscopic now the pain occurs more often my gp couldn t identify any specific problem the surgen who performed the original procedure now says that yes there is a new hernia in the same area and he said that he has to cut into the area for the repair this time my question to the net is there a nonintrusive method to determine if in fact there is a hernia or if the pain is from something else by far the still best method to diagnose a hernia is old fashioned physical examination if you have an obvious hernia sac coming down into your scrotum or a bulge in your groin that is brought about by increasing intra abdominal pressure sometimes is not that obvious the hernia is small and you can only detect it by putting your finger into the inguinal canal whether you have a recurrent hernia or this is related to the previous operation i can t tell you the person that examined you is in the best position to make that determination are there non invasive ways of diagnosing a hernia every now and then folks write about ct scans and ultrasounds for this but these are far too expensive and unlikely to be better than a trained examining finger howard doyle doyle pitt edu

re candida albicans what is it in article apr ida liu se davpa ida liu se david partain writes someone i know has recently been diagnosed as having candida albicans a disease about which i can find no information apparently it has something to do with the body s production of yeast while at the same time being highly allergic to yeast can anyone out there tell me any more about it candida albicans can cause severe life threatening infections usually in people who are otherwise quite ill this is not however the sort of illness that you are probably discussing systemic yeast syndrome where the body is allergic to yeast is considered a quack diagnosis by mainstream medicine there is a book the yeast connection which talks about this illness there is no convincing evidence that such a disease exists david rind rind enterprise bih harvard edu

re is msg sensitivity superstition in article qk tainnmr calamari hi com rogers calamari hi com andrew rogers writes in article apr walter bellcore com jchen ctt bellcore com writes chinese and many other asians japanese koreans etc have used msg as flavor enhancer for two thousand years do you believe that they knew how to make msg from chemical processes not they just extracted it from natural food such sea food and meat broth and to add further fuel to the flame war i read about years ago that the natural msg extracted from the sources you mention above does not cause the reported aftereffects it s only that nasty artificial msg extracted from coal tar or whatever that causes chinese restaurant syndrome i find this pretty hard to believe has anyone else heard it i was under the possibly incorrect assumption that most of the msg on our foods was made from processing sugar beets is this not true are there other sources of msg i am one of those folx who react sometimes strongly to msg however i also react strongly to sodium chloride table salt in excess each causes different symptoms except for the common one of rapid heartbeat and an uncomfortable feeling of pressure in my chest upper left quadrant steve giammarco peterson lane dallas tx marco sdf lonestar org loveyameanit

re ob gyn residency in article apr cnsvax uwec edu david nye nyeda cnsvax uwec edu writes i believe it is illegal for a residency to discriminate against fmgs is that true i know some that won t even interview fmgs i think a case could be made that this is discriminatory particularly if an applicant had good board scores and recommendations but wasn t offered an interview but i don t know if it has ever gone to court fmgs who are not citizens are like all aliens in a difficult situation only citizens get to vote here so non citizens are of little or no interest to legislators also the non citizen may well be in the middle of processing for resident alien status there is a stron sense that rocking the boat eg suing a residency program will delay the granting of that status perhaps for ever don mackie his opinions

re is msg sensitivity superstition in article myers peach cs scarolina edu myers cs scarolina edu daniel myers writes i am under the impression that msg enhances flavor by causing the taste buds to swell no that s not how it works if this is correct i do not find it unreasonable to assume that high doses of msg can cause other mouth tissues to swell this may be through a different mechanism also as the many of the occurances including two of the above involved beef and as beef is frequently tenderized with msg this is what i suspect as being the cause tenderizing beef involves sprinking or marinading it in papain an enzyme meat tenderizer packets might contain papain and msg and seasonings but msg doesn t act as a tenderizer steve dyer dyer ursa major spdcc com aka ima harvard rayssd linus m c spdcc dyer

re ocd in article c r n fg news hawaii edu sharynk hawaii edu writes i recently heard of a mental disorder called obsessive compulsive disorder what is it what causes it could it be caused by a nervous breakdown obesssive compulsive disorder not to be confused with obsessive compulsive personality disorder is an acute anxiety disorder characterized by either obsessions persistent intrusive thoughts that cause anxiety when not entertained or compulsions repetitive ritualistic actions that similarly cause intense psychological discomfort when resisted ocd is often associated with certain forms of depression examples of obsessive thoughts are repeated impulses to kill a loved one though not accompanied by anger or a religious person having recurrent blasphemous thoughts generally the individual attempts to ignore or suppress the intrusive thoughts by engaging in other activities the individual realizes that the thoughts originate from the own mind rather than being from an external source examples of compulsive actions are constant repetitive hand washing or other activity that is not realistically related to alleviating a source of the anxiety in ocd the obsessions or compulsions are highly distressing to the individual take an hour or more per day and significantly impair their daily routine and social relationships treatments include psychotherapy behavioral methods and sometimes certain anti depressants which have recently been found effective in alleviating obsessions and compulsions the standard diagnostic code for ocd if you want to look it up in the dsm iii manual of psychiatric diagnosis is kind regards todd todd i stark stark dwovax enet dec com digital equipment corporation philadelphia pa usa a word is the skin of a living thought olliver wendell holmes jr

seizures infantile spasms the reason i m posting this article to this newsgroup is to gather any information about this disorder from anyone who might have recently been e ffected by it from being associated with it or actually having this disorder and help me find out where i can access any medical literature associated with seizures over the internet recently i had a baby boy born with seizures which occured hours after birth he was immediately transferred to a major hospital in boston and has since been undergoing extensive drug treatment for his condition this has been a major learning experience for me and my wife not only in learning the medical problems that faced our son but also in dealing with hospitals procedures etc i don t want to go into a lot of detail but his condition was termed quite severe at first then slowly he began to grow and put on weight as a normal baby would he was put on the standard anti convulsion drugs and that did not seem to help out his mri ekg cat scans are all normal but the eeg s show alot of seizure activity after many metabolic tests body structure tests and infection virus tests the doctors still do not know quite what type of siezures he is having although they do have alot of evidence that it is now pointing to infantile spasms this is where we stand right now if anyone knows of any database or newsgroup or as i mentioned up above any information relating to this disorder i would sure appreciate hearing from you i am not trying to play doctor here but only trying to gather information about it as i know now these particular types of disorders are still not really well understood by the medical community and so i m going to see now if somehow the internet can at least give me alittle insight thanks

re barbecued foods and health risk in article cup portal com mmm cup portal com mark robert thorson writes i don t understand the assumption that because something is found to be carcinogenic that it would not be legal in the u s i think that no there is something called the delany amendment which makes carcinogenic food additives illegal in any amount this was passed by congress in the s before stuff like mass spectrometry became available which increased detectable levels of substances by a couple orders of magnitude this is why things like cyclamates and red were banned they are very weakly carcinogenic in huge quantities in rats so under the act they are banned this also applies to natural carcinogens some of you might remember a time back in the s when root beer suddenly stopped tasting so good and never tasted so good again that was the time when safrole was banned this is the active flavoring ingredient in sassafras leaves if it were possible to market a root beer good like the old days someone would do it in order to make money the fact that no one does it indicates that enforcement is still in effect an odd exception to the rule seems to be the product known as gumbo file this is nothing more than coarsely ground dried sassafras leaves this is not only a natural product but a natural product still in its natural form so maybe that s how they evade delany or maybe a special exemption was made to appease powerful louisiana democrats i think what we have to keep in mind is that even though it may be illegal to commercially produce sell food with carcinogenic substances it is not illegal for people to do such to their own food smoking etc is this true

re could this be a migraine in article uupcb factory com jim zisfein factory com jim zisfein writes headaches that seriously interfere with activities of daily living affect about of the population doesn t that sound like something a primary care physician should know something about i tend to agree with hmo administrators family physicians should learn the basics of headache management absolutely unfortunately most of them have had weeks of neurology in medical school and month maybe in their residency most of that is done in the hospital where migraines rarely are seen where are they supposed to learn those who are diligent and read do learn but most don t unfortunately sometimes i wonder what tension type headaches have to do with neurology anyway we are the only ones sometimes who have enough interest in headaches to spend the time to get enough history to diagnose them too often the primary care physician hears headache and loses interest in anything but giving the patient analgesics and getting them out of the office so they can get on to something more interesting i am excepting migraine which is arguably neurologic headaches i hope you meant inarguably gordon banks n jxp skepticism is the chastity of the intellect and geb cadre dsl pitt edu it is shameful to surrender it too soon

bates method for myopia does the bates method work i first heard about it in this newsgroup several years ago and i have just got hold of a book how to improve your sight simple daily drills in relaxation by margaret d corbett authorized instructor of the bates method published in it talks about vision improvement by relaxation and exercise has there been any study on whether this method actually works if it works is it by actually shortening the previously elongated eyeball or by increasing the lens s ability to flatten itself in order to compensate for the too long eyeball since myopia is the result of eyeball elongation seems to me the most logical approach for correction is to find a way to reverse the process i e shorten it somehow preferably non surgically has there been any recent studies on this where can i find them i know rk works by changing the curvature of the cornea to compensate for the shape of eyeball but if there is a way to train the muscles to shorten the eyeball back to its correct length that would be even better bates s idea right thanks for any information

relief of pain caused by cancer i am not sure if this is the proper group to post this to but here goes anyway about five years ago my mother was diagnosed with having cancer in the lymph nodes under one of her arms after the doctors removed the cancerous area she had full movement of her arm with only slight aching under her arm when she moved it over the course of the next two years the aching got more severe and her complaining to the doctors produced the explanation that it was scar tissue causing the pain at this time her doctor suggested that some physiotherapy should be employed to break up the scar tissue while attending one of her therapy sessions while her arm was being manipulated some damage occured nerve which caused the level of pain to permanently increase severly controlled by tylenol s and some loss of use of the arm palsied wrist and almost no outward lateral movement with great persistence on her part the doctors looked further into the issue and discovered that not all of the cancer had been removed and another tumor had grown under the arm this was removed also but the pain in the arm has not decreased the doctors are not sure exactly why the pain is persisting but feel some sort of nerve damage has occured and they have employed tylenol and soon morphine to relieve the pain she has tried acupuncture by this only provides minor reductions in pain and is only short term my questions are has anyone has heard of similar cases and what if anything was done to reduce the levels of pain are their methods to block nerves so that the pain can be reduced are their methods to restore nerves so that loss of arm function can be restored any general suggestions on pain reduction would be greatly appreciated please respond by email because i do not always get chance to read this group if anyone knows of some literature that may be useful to this case or another newsgroup that i should be posting this to it would also be appreciated gregory w luft internet vgwlu calgary chevron com chevron petroleum techonology company tel fifth ave s w fax calgary alberta canada t p l

re good grief was re candida albicans what is it dyer spdcc com steve dyer writes in article noringc snsx kmo netcom com noring netcom com jon noring writes there is no convincing evidence that such a disease exists there s a lot of evidence it just hasn t been adequately gathered and published in a way that will convince the die hard melancholic skeptics who quiver everytime the word anecdote or empirical is used snort ah there go my sinuses again for example dr ivker who wrote the book sinus survival always gives oh wow a classic textbook hey they laughed at einstein too before any other treatment a systemic anti fungal such as nizoral to his new patients if they ve been on braod spectrum anti biotics or more times in the last two years he s kept a record of the results and for over patients found that over of his patients get significant relief of allergic sinus symptoms of course this is only the beginning for his program yeah i ll bet tomorrow the world listen uncontrolled studies like this are worthless in my case as i reported a few weeks ago i was developing the classic symptoms outlined in the yeast connection i agree it is a poorly written book e g extreme sensitivity to plastics vapors etc which i never had before started in november within one week of full dosage of sporanox the sensitivity to chemicals has fully disappeared i can now sit on my couch at home without dying after two minutes i m also greatly improved in other areas as well i m sure you are you sound like the typical hysteric hypochondriac who responds to miracle cures of course i have allergy symptoms etc i am especially allergic to molds yeasts etc it doesn t take a rocket scientist to figure out that if one has excessive colonization of yeast in the body and you have a natural allergy to yeasts that a threshold would be reached where you would have perceptible symptoms yeah it makes sense to me so of course it should be taken seriously snort also yeast do produce toxins of various sorts and again you don t have to be a rocket scientist to realize that such toxins can cause problems in some people yeah it sounds reasonable to me of course the question is whether a person who is immune compromised as tests showed i was from over years of antibiotics nutritionally deficiencies because of the stress of infections and allergies etc oh really what tests immune compromised my ass more like credulous malingerer this is a psychiatric syndrome can develop excessive yeast colonization somewhere in the body it is a tough question to answer since testing for excessive yeast colonization is not easy one almost has to take an empirical approach to diagnosis fortunately sporanox is relatively safe unlike past anti fungals still have to be careful however so there s no reason any longer to withhold sporanox treatment for empirical reasons you know it s a shame that a drug like itraconazole is being misused in this way it s ridiculously expensive and potentially toxic the trouble is that it isn t toxic enough so it gets abused by quacks btw some would say to try nystatin unfortunately most yeast grows hyphae too deep into tissue for nystatin to have any permanent affect you ll find a lot of people who are on nystatin all the time the only good thing about nystatin is that it s relatively cheap and when taken orally non toxic but oral nystatin is without any systemic effect so unless it were given iv it would be without any effect on your sinuses i wish these quacks would first use iv nystatin or amphotericin b on people like you that would solve the yeast problem once and for all in summary i appreciate all of the attempts by those who desire to keep medicine on the right road but methinks that some who hold too firmly to the party line are academics who haven t been in the trenches long enough actually treating patients if anybody doctors included said to me to my face that there is no evidence of the yeast connection i cannot guarantee their safety for their incompetence ripping off their lips is justified as far as i am concerned perhaps a little haldol would go a long way towards ameliorating your symptoms are you paying for this treatment out of your own pocket i d hate to think my insurance premiums are going towards this steve dyer dyer you re rude medicine is not a totallly scientific endevour it s often practiced in a disorganized manner most early treatment of non life threatening illness is done on a guess hazarded after anecdotal evidence given by the patient it s an educated guess by a trained person but it s still no more than a guess it s cheaper and simpler to medicate first and only deal further with those people who don t respond there are diseases that haven t been described yet and the root cause of many diseases now described aren t known read a book on gastroenterology sometime if you want to see a lot of them after scientific methods have run out then it s the patient s freedom of choice to try any experimental method they choose and it s well recognized by many doctors that medicine doesn t have all the answers this person said that they had relief by taking the medicine maybe it s a miracle cure maybe it s valid how do you know you might argue with the reasoning the conclusions but your disparaging attack is unwarranted why don t you present an convincing argument for you r beliefs instead of wasting our time in an ad hominem attack jackie

re is msg sensitivity superstition in article apr walter bellcore com jchen ctt bellcore com writes the funny thing is the personaly stories about reactions to msg vary so greatly some said that their heart beat speeded up with flush face some claim their heart skipped beats once in a while both of these symptoms are related tachycardia getting a flushed face is due to the heart pumping the blood faster than a regular pulse i suspect this is related to an increase in sodium levels in the blood since note sodium chloride monosodium glutamate both are sodium compounds our bodies require sodium but like everything else one can get too much of a good thing some reacted with headache again this could be related to increased blood flow from increased heart rate from the sodium in the msg distended crainial arteries essentially one of many causes of headaches there is no discrepency her necessarily some stomach ache well stomache ache and vomiting tend to be related again not necessarily a discrepency more likely a related reaction vomiting occurs as a response to get rid of a noxious compound an organism has eaten if a person can t digest the stuff entirely possible the list of stuff people are allergic to is quite long and lacks an enzyme to break it down gastrointestinal distress stomach or belly ache would be expected some had watery eyes or running nose these are respiratory reactions and are now considered to be similar to vomitting they are a way for the body to dispose of noxious compounds they are adaptiove responses of course it is possible some other food or environmental compound could be responsible for the symptoms but it s important to remember that a lot opf these effets can be additive synergystic subtractive etc etc it would be necessary to know exactly what was in a dish and what else the person was exposed to respiratory does sound suspicious but resopiration and heart rate are connected things in the body are far from simple very inetractive place the vertebrate body some had itchy skin or rashes people respond in a myriad of ways to the same compound it depends upon what it is about the compound that pisses off their body pollen for example of some plants aggrivates breathing in many people because when inhaled it sets of the immune system and an histamine attack is launched the immune system goes overboard causing the allergic person a lot of misery and someone with an allergy to some pollens will have trouble with some herb teas that contain pollens chamomile linden etc drinking the substance can perturb that person s system as much as inhaling it more serious accusations include respiration difficulty see above and don t think that heart rate changes and circulatory problems are not serious they can be deadly and brain damage the area of the brain effected is the neuroendocrine system controlling the release of gonadotropin the supra hormone controlling the cyclical release of testosterone and estradiol as well as somatostatin and other steroids testing for effective dose would be uh a wee bit unethical now here is a new one vomiting my guess is that msg becomes the number one suspect of any problem in this case it might be just food poisoning absolutely but it could also be some synergystic mess from eating say undetected shrimp or mushrooms to which many are allergic plus too much alcohol and inhaling too much diesel fumes biking home plus let s say having contracted flu from one s sig other days before from drinking out of the same glass could be all sorts of things but it might be the msg if you heard things about msg you may think it must be it if noone else got sick its likely not food poisoning probably stomach flu or an undetected thing the guy s allergic to anyway the human body s not a machine people vary widely in their responses and a lot of reactions are due to combinations of things dianne murray wcsbeau ccs carleton ca

re is msg sensitivity superstition have you ever met a chemist a food industry businessman you must personally know a lot of them for you to be able to be so certain that they are evil mosters whose only goal is to inflict as much pain and disease as possible into the general public gimme a break in article apr rtsg mot com lundby rtsg mot com walter f l undby writes is there such a thing as msg monosodium glutamate sensitivity superstition anybody here have experience to the contrary person who is very sensitive to msg and whose wife and kids are too i want to know why the food industry wants to put msg in food because it makes the food taste better why does it put salt in food same reason i really don t understand obviously somebody in the industry give me some reasons why is it an industrial byproduct that needs getting get rid of of course not although i would think that a person like you would be a big fan of such recycling if that were the case is it to cover up the fact that the recipes are not very good or the food is poor quality on occasion that s probably the case but in general the idea is that msg improves the flavor of certain foods do some of you get a sadistic pleasure out of making some of us sick no do the taste testers have some defect in their flavor sensors mouth etc that msg corrects no i really don t understand obviously also nitrosiamines sp as i recall these are natural by products of heating up certain foods they don t put it in there have a number of criteria in choosing how to process food they want to make it taste good look good sell for a good price etc the fact that they use it tells me that they think that it contributes to those goals they are interested in one of those goals is not making people sick such a goal woud quickly drive them out of business and for no benefit i think outlaw the use of these substances without warning labels as large as those on cig packages warning of what in california there is a law requiring that anything which contains a carcinogen be labeled that includes every gasline pump most foods and even money cleaning machines because nickel is a mild carcinogen the result is that now nobody pays any attention to any of the warnings require of comparable products on the market to be free of these substances and state that they are free of msg dyes nitrosiamines and sulfites on the package why what if not of people wanted to buy this ugly rotten not as tasty food i guess it will just be wasted huh how terribly efficient while at it outlaw yellow dye for that matter why dye food because it makes food look better i like food that looks good if vitamin companies want to do that it is fine but who are you to tell them how to make vitamins who are you to tell me whether i should buy flavored vitamins for my kids who can t swallow the conventional ones whole keep food food quit putting in junk how do you define junk is putting salt in food bad what about pepper what about alcohol as a preservative what about sealing jars with wax what about vinegar you seem to think that chemicals are somehow different than food the fact is that all foods are chemicals you are just expressing an irrational prejudice against food processing brian

home medical tests i am looking for current sources for lists of all the home medical tests currently legally available i believe this trend of allowing tests at home where feasible decreased medical costs by a factor of or more and allows the patient some time and privacy to consider the best action from the results of such tests in fact i believe home medical tests and certain basic tests for serious diseases such as cancer heart disease should be offered free to the american public this could actually help to reduce national medical costs since many would have an earlier opportunity to know about and work toward recuperation or cure mike romano sir i admit your gen ral rule that every poet is a fool but you yourself may serve to show it that every fool is not a poet a pope
