• do not let him read while travelling in the car;

• sit with him up the front of a bus;

• open the window while travelling;

• make sure he always travels facing forward;

• do not smoke in the car;

• do not give him a heavy meal before travelling;

• on a boat, have the child keep his eyes on the horizon as much as possible.

In the car

On a long car journey with your children, make sure that you stop frequently to let them stretch and run a little, or to have a drink or a snack. Children hate being cooped up for long periods of time.

Choose your roadside stops carefully, and keep an eye on your children, particularly if there is a lot of traffic around. Take games and toys along with you that are appropriate for children to play in the car. If your child suffers from motion sickness, it is best for him to avoid reading or writing in the car.

Your doctor will prescribe an exercise program. The days of staying in bed after a heart attack are over. Activity heals, but only at a medically monitored and prescribed rate, and that includes sexual activity.

If you have pain, ask about using nitroglycerin, long-acting nitrate preparations, or other medications. Be sure to ask when and how these medications should be used. Some should be taken at regular intervals, while others should be taken several minutes before sexual activity.

Remember, there is much more to sex than intercourse. Talk with your doctor about all of sex or he or she might assume that sex equals coitus. No single sexual activity is more dangerous than any other.

The spouse with the heart problem does not need a spousal nurse. He or she needs a loving sexual partner who expresses his or her own sexual needs vigorously and honestly. If the patient sees your comfort and freedom, he or she will learn the same approach. The patient must learn to protect himself or herself, and attempts by a spouse to protect the heart patient typically backfire into more fear, loss ot self-esteem, and even resentment. Don’t let any disease take the heart out of your sex life.

Ellis’s work confronted a guilt and fear about sex that permeated daily living. To save ourselves from what he saw as our innate sexual sickness, the Reverend Doctor Sylvester Graham suggested that we rid our diets of meat, animal products, and all spicy foods. Graham suggested that these caloric corrupters be replaced with, of course, nutritious Graham bread and Graham crackers. He was joined in his concern for the digestive sexual degeneration of American by Dr. John Kellogg, who invented corn flakes to save us from too much snap, crackle, or pop in our sex drive. The first modern perspective on human sexuality and its relationship to intimacy offered a freedom from this type of restrictive, fear-inducing approach to sex. At the same time, however, Ellis’s views about sexual energy, male and female differences in sexual response, and the power of sexual variety are still present today, and they strongly influenced the work of Alfred Kinsey, the pioneer of a second perspective on sexuality.

Cauterisation by the application of intense cold from applying liquid nitrogen or by heat from an electric diathermy is also effective.

The warts may occur on the penis, the vulva, in the vagina, around or in the anus.

This virus may be one of the causes of cancer of the cervix.

This condition is also rare in Australia and seen mostly in the tropics. It develops some one to three weeks following exposure. Initially there is a painful blister which ulcerates and then the lymph glands in the groin become involved, swell, develop abscesses and may discharge pus. The tetracycline drugs are also effective for this condition.

The Americans test vision at 20 feet, and use this number rather than metres.

Thus normal vision for Americans is 20-20, while for us it is 6-6.

So a person who can see only the top letter at this distance has 6-60 of normal vision.

Similarly, the second line of letters should be seen by a person with normal sight from 36 metres.

If you can read no further than this, then your vision is 6-36.

Similarly, with the other lines which are equivalent to 6-24, 6-18, 6-12, 6-9 and 6-6 is normal vision.

Near-vision is tested by means of the Jaeger types, which simply consist of the ordinary printers’ types from the smallest upwards.

In hypermetropia or long-sightedness, the person complains of difficulty with near-vision, while his distance vision is good.

In the eye, the ciliary muscles constrict the lens and enable it to focus the light. However, the constant strain of doing this may cause headaches.

Because breast milk is ideally suited to the baby’s digestion there are few digestive upsets in the breast fed baby.

There are a number of old wives tales about breast feeding and the one most wrong is that the mother’s milk is not suitable for her baby. This is often invoked as a reason to explain some failure of the baby to gain sufficient weight. The baby may not be getting enough milk but with very rare exceptions breast milk is always right for the baby. Those exceptions are due to some rare diseases.

If there is a strong family history of allergy, that is with family members suffering from hayfever, asthma and eczema, then avoiding the foreign proteins of cow’s milk and other substitutes and sticking to breast milk will reduce the risk of allergy.

Breast feeding has many emotional advantages both for the mother and child and leads to better “bonding” between them. Almost every woman can breast feed if she wants to. This decision is best taken during pregnancy and should be strongly encouraged by the health care professionals with whom she comes in contact. Attention and care to the breasts and nipples during pregnancy prepares them for more successful breast feeding.

Of course, breast feeding, while entirely natural, may not always be trouble free. Some feeding mothers run into problems because of retracted nipples or may get a cracked nipple which causes pain.

The breast may become engorged with milk and painful, or the supply of milk may be inadequate. The baby may be premature or sick and have difficulty in sucking strongly.

These are problems which can all be overcome.

Lipofuscin (never melanin) is a constituent of the extra-pyramidal system. In the Zona reticularis of the suprarenal body, lipofuscin can be recognised microscopically as a dark brown colouring in conditions of old age. Although lipofuscin is described as a product of old age, it can also exist as a degeneration product in young people and as a sign of exhaustion of particular organs, hence the terms: liver-, renal- and pancreas-pigment.

At this point, I would like to include the group of rheumatic-gouty deposits. In my view, the duration of the condition can be assessed from the colour of the signs. The longer the disease has been present, the darker is the colour of the pigment.

Even though the above-mentioned pigments are topolabile, the presence of the flecks in the different zones of the iris can still be assigned to definite organ systems. If the light reddish pigment, as described in detail in the literature under the term—Nux vomica pigment, appears in the stomach and intestinal zone (first major zone), then it shows that a condition of fermentation affects these organs. If the discolouration extends outwards beyond the iris-wreath, then other organ systems can be affected.

The yellow to brown deposits which extend from the iris -wreath to the outer margin of the iris (Berberis pigment) indicate general disease of the body (Maubach: Reibekuchen-iris). In this case, the condition arises from a gouty disposition of hereditary origin. Indications of the acute phases of gout appear white, and generally lie next to dark signs in the bone area (fifth minor zone).

The pigments described as liver-, renal- and pancreas-pigment are likewise found in the ciliary zone.

Pigment deposits may appear in the iris if an organ is affected. However, since the differences of colour and localisation of pigment-flecks are insufficient for diagnosis, one must look for other signs in the organ areas of the iris in order to reach a definite opinion. Iridologists have been concerned with iris pigment-signs from the first beginnings of irisdiagnosis, commencing with Liljequist and continuing with Attila von Peczely, Schnabel and Angerer. In spite of their extensive works, there still remains a wide field for further research.

There are clear symptoms that may indicate poor vision. If your child habitually tilts his or her head or looks out of the corners of his or her eyes, if the eyes cross or move away from normal, or if the child squints or is excessively sensitive to bright lights, there could be an eyesight problem. Holding objects close to examine them, failure to recognize familiar people at a distance, headaches following use of the eyes, problems in school, and a dislike of reading may also signify poor vision.

At birth, a baby who has normal eyes can focus on an object and visually follow movement. If an infant’s eyes seem to make random, searching movements, he or she may have defective vision.

Vision can be tested at different ages in a variety of ways. During the first week of life an infant should be able to fix his or her eyes on a bright light. By two months of age, the child’s eyes should follow that light as it moves through a 180-degree arc. By seven or eight months the child should be able to recognize and respond to facial expressions. After age three, a child’s eyes can be tested by having him or her focus on charts that use pictures or the letter E pointed in different directions. Finally, around age five or six, the child’s eyes can be tested using a standard Snellen eye chart.

Home care

Be alert to the symptoms that can indicate impaired vision, and have the child’s eyes examined periodically.

Precautions

• A child who cannot see the television screen from a distance or who holds books close to the eyes may be nearsighted.

• A child’s vision should be checked annually, beginning no later than age four.

Medical treatment

At each annual eye checkup, your doctor will examine your child’s eyes inside and out with an ophthalmoscope, and test the child’s vision using a chart of letters in rows of diminishing sizes. If an abnormality is suspected, your doctor will refer your child to an eye specialist for more detailed examination and correction of the problem.
