Living things maintain small electric fields to (1) enhance certain chemical reactions, (2) promote communication of states with in a cell, (3) communicate between cells (of which the nervous system is a specialized example), and perhaps other uses.  These electric fields change with location and time in a large organism.  Special photographic techniques such as applying external fields in Kirillian photography interact with these fields or the resistances caused by these fields to make interesting pictures. Perhaps such pictures will be diagonistic of disease problems in organisms when better understood. Perhaps not.  Studying the overall electric activity of biological systems is several hundred years old, but not a popular activity.  Perhaps, except in the case of a few tissues like nerves and the electric senses of fishes, it is hard to reduce the investigation into small pieces that can be clearly analyzed.  There are some hints that manipulating electric fields is a useful therapy such as speeding the healing of broken bones, but not understood why.

Hello,  I am planning on attending Podiatry School next year.  I have narrowed my choices to the Pennsylvania College of Podiatric Medicine, in Philadelphia, or the California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco.    If anyone has any information or oppinions about these two schools, please tell me.  I am having a hard time deciding which one to attend, and must make a decision very soon.    thank you, Larry  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Live From New York, It's SATURDAY NIGHT...

Seems to me that I read in either a recent NY Times Science Times or maybe it was Science News that there is evidence that ex-smoker's risk of lung cancer never returns to that of a person who has never smoked (I think it may get close).  I'll find the article and post it since my memory is hazy on the specifics - if you are interested.

If you're seeking validation for your philosophy on the strength of  the national health service adopting it, I suggest that you are not very  sure of the validity of your philosophy. I believe in 1946, the NHS was  still having its nurses taught the fine art of "cupping", which is the  vacuum extraction of intradermal fluids by means of heating a cup, placing  it on the afflicted site and allowing it to cool. 	I wouldn't take my sick daughter to a homeopath.
Hello,  I am writing a grant proposal for a Developmental Genetics class and I have chose to look at the Neurofibromatosis 1 gene and its variable expressivity.  I am curious what has already been done on this subject, especially the relationship between specific mutations and the resulting phenotype.  My literature search has produce many references, but I want to make sure I am proposing new research.  If anyone knows aything that has been recently or key peopl doing research to search for using MEDLINE, I would apprciate being informed.  Thank you.

As I understood it, MSG *is* natural.  Isn't it found in  tomatoes?  Anyway, lots of people are terribly allergic to lots of natural things; peanuts, onions, tomatoes, milk, etc.  Just because something is 'natural' doesn't mean it won't cause problems with some folks.  As for how foods taste:  If I'm not allergic to MSG and I like the taste of it, why shouldn't I use it?  Saying I shouldn't use it is like saying I shouldn't eat spicy food because my neighbor has an ulcer.  People have long modified the taste of food by additives, whether they be chiles, black pepper, salt, cream sauces, etc.  All of these things cloud the flavor of the food.  Why do we bother with them? How should food be tasted?  Isn't it better left to the diner?
Carl Lydick:  > And you're condemning one particular ingredient without any  > evidence that that's the ingredient to which you reacted.  Believe what you will.  The mass of anectdotal evidence, combined with the lack of a properly constructed scientific experiment disproving the hypothesis, makes the MSG reaction hypothesis the most likely explanation for events.

And presumably this is a matter of degree; it must be common to prescribe a drug that has _some_ chance of giving _some_ benefit, but not a high probability of it, and/or not a large benefit.  Right?
I am looking for statistics on the prevalence of disorders that are treatable with Botulinum Type A.  These disorders include: facial dyskinesia, meige syndrome, hemifacial spasm, apraxia of eyelid openeing, aberrant regeneration of the facial nerve, facial paralysis, strabismus, spasmodic torticollis, muscle spasm, occupational dystonia (i.e. writers cramp, etc.), spasmodic dysphonia, and temporal mandibular joint disease.  I realize many of the disorders I listed (such as "muscle spasm" !!) are vaguely defined and may encompass a wide range of particular disorders.  My apologies; the list was provided to me as is.  I have some numbers, but not reliable.    Any ideas on sources or, even bbetter, any actual figures (with source listed)?  Many thanks,  - Meg

For that matter why dye food?   4) Take the dyes and flavorings out of vitamins.

They had some neat pictures, too.  A friend of mine's mother had a book on Kirlian photography, only it's photographs took a radiologist to  interpret.  They (World magazine) warned us all that it was very dangerous, probably to stop curious children from experimenting with it.  Mind you, this was 10 years ago, at least.

And to add further fuel to the flame war, I read about 20 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?

For a very long time I've had a problem with feeling really awful when I try to get up in the morning.  My sleep latency at night is also pretty long,  ranging from 30 min to an hour.  I get about 7 hours of bedtime (maybe 6 of actual sleep) a night and more on the weekends.  I will spend two or three hours laying in bed after this if I can,  because I feel so tired when I wake up,  even more tired than I was when I went to bed,  which is usually too tired to work.  	Anyway,  I recently had a really bad flu,  so I called a friend to get me some cough syrup with both an expectorant and a nasal decongestant; but he got Vicks formula 44M which has everything but an expectorant.  So I used that anyway,  and the three nights I used it,  I fell asleep rapidly and felt that I got really good quality sleep -- that is,  I actually felt refreshed the next morning.  	So,  I am now trying to look into,  both in the literature and experimentally,  the use of antihistamines as sleep aids,  since I am presuming that it was the antihistamine that caused the effect.  The antihistamine in Vicks formula 44 is Chloriphenamine maleate,  so I bought some generic tablets of that,  and tried one last night and didn't notice any improvement.  I might try one with a little alcohol (about 1 beer) to see if it is a synergism effect.  Also,  library research seems to show that Benadryl is the antihistamine with the strongest sedative effect of what is availible OTC.  So I might also buy a generic form of that and try that;  the PDR seems to suggest that 50 mg is a good dosage level to try.  	For other medical information,  I have allergies but rarely have an allergic reaction living in New Mexico.  I also have chronically dry eyes,  which get horrible if I try to use most underarm deoderants.  I did guess that my problem might be caused by hypoglycemia,  so I made some changes in my diet consistent with that,  and it didn't help,  so I went back to a normal diet (Pretty diverse,  also taking vitamin supplements)
It just received FDA approval a few months ago. I have a prescription which I haven't had to use yet. I believe the company [Glaxol] is developing an oral form. At this stage, one must inject the drug into one's muscle. The doctor said that within 30 minutes, the migraine is gone for good!

Sjogren's syndrome has been known to induce dryness in vaginal tissue as well as induce primary biliary cirrhosis. Otherwise the abdominal swelling could be due to a complication of Sjogren's known as pseudolymphoma which *can* produce a splenomegaly (enlarged spleen). She should definitely see a rheumatologist.  Since you don't mention skin disorder, anemia, or joint pain you'd probably rule out erythema nodosum or scleroderma.  Josh backon@VMS.HUJI.AC.IL
This request goes out to medical students who have done or are planning to sit the USMLE (or National Boards) Part 1.  My wife is sitting this examination in early June this year and would like to have a look at some old National Boards, Part 1 questions found in the following books. These books are currently out of print.    The books are:  (1) Retired NBME Basic Medical Science Test Items, NBME;     Published by NBME in 1991  (2) Self-test in the Part 1 Basic Medical Sciences, NBME;     Published by NBME in 1989  I would appreciate if anyone who has these books is willing to loan it to her for a couple of days. Obviously, I would reimburse for you all postage and related charges. Failing that it would be beneficial if anyone could point to any library in the NY, NJ or PA area that may have these books.  Please respond by e-mail since I do not read this newsgroup regularly.  Thanks in advance.   Daniel
My (then) wife used to get recurrent yeast infections. One day, her doctor sent her home with medication for her and a pill for me. I took the pill, upon her insistence, and was very relieved the next day when I looked it up in the PDR. It only RARELY causes testicular atrophy...
