tho oxamlnor Saturday Oct 22 1911 VW The doctor game By GlFFORDJONES Hawaiis beachboys are not usually destined for long life know that their livers take terrific pounding But its not just from the raging surf cant quote statistics yet Ive reason to speculate that they suffer from an assortment of venereal iseases The constant exposure to the blazing sun must cause an increase ed number of skin cancers And theres little doubt they would be among the worlds leading contenders for winner of the morning hangover However beachboys are immune to some Canadian diseases Wh does GiffordJones have such impeccable quali ications to talk about beachboys For several years fate destined that had to visit Hawaii twice year Time permitting would travel the same beach talk to variety of beachboys listen to the strumming of their ukeleles and hear them recount their many expl0its So may have to pick up the telephone and ask the medical experts how to spell computerized axial tomography but the professors call me when they want in formation on Hawaiian beachboys And although many people would question their wanton lifestyle Canadians could learn few tricks from them My 10 year study on beachboy watching shows that apart from Pineapple Rum Hangovers beachboys dont get ten sion headaches In Canada its quite different story The Migraine Foundation reports that 4000000 Canadians now suffer from this malady Add to this figure the cluster tension and other assorted headaches and it makes you won der if there are any Canadians left who are not holding their heads National headache Since so many have this national headache its im portant to know when you should buy ukelele and when its Wise to see the doctor Headaches like many other symptoms have been surrounded by good deal of folklore Some are convinced its due to an upset liver eyestrain sinusitis or constipation But toning up the liver new glasses washing out the Sinuses or the Saturday night purge rarely curw the aching head Similarly most headaches are not due to high blood pressure What causes headache Tension headaches result from uptight muscles in the head and neck that limit the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain This causes the pain in the same way as reduced amount of blood to the heart rtsults in an attack of angina Migraine headaches on the other hand are initiated by too much blood The arteries like river in spring expand allowin torrents of blood to rush into the brain which causest intense pounding How should Canadians treat the common headache Peter Finch who gave such talented performance in the movie Network passed along some sound advice when he thun dered that people should turn off their TV sets It would help to stop the TV conditioned reflex response Pavlov the great Russian scientist didnt have TV set but he did own simple bell By ringing it before every meal he conditioned the dogs stomach to secrete gastric juices Today it would be amusing for this Nobel price WIHBEF l8 return and see how advertising agencies can hmuwum human brain as easily as dogs stomach TV Conditionitis This new disease IV Conditionitis isnt good for Canadians Peo le with this illness believe that they must always take pi relieve their tension headaches And those who have the serious form of the disease think that its even better to swallow tablet that dissolves secon ds quicker in their stomach That advertising gimmick would have even made Pavlovs dogs chuckle Remember that bright ad men can trick you much easier than the travelling huckster whos snale oil allegedly cured everything So dont tell your children to msh to the medicine cabinet for every headache They too can become conditioned to look towards drugs as an easy out for minor problems ukelele might not be bad idea for most common headaches It would also be ate in the right direction for migraine sufferers People wit this affliction usually have racehorse personalitv They are quick sensitive types who take life seriously Some are so compulstve and perfectionistic that they literally burn their brains out Racehorse personalities also react more to the world around them For example migraine attacks can be triggered by excessive noise or bright lights patient who shades his eyes as he gazes towards the window is almost always member of the 4000000 club Strumming on ukelele wont change his basic per sonality but it might decrease the frequency of the attacks by easing some of the inborn tensmn However there is no point in being hero once the migraine attack is imminent The sooner he reaches for the people and places Headaches separating reality from folklore medication an ice pack and the solitude of quiet dark room the quicker the patient will be able to resume his ac tivities How to separate How can the rsononthestreet separate the serious headaches from thgse annoying ones At times the symptoms are so dramatic that its obvious to evervone maior problem is present For instance when an aneurysm ruptures in the brain the patient will clutch his head from the intense pain and there is usually vomiting and loss of consciousness Yet there are less shocking occasions when the warning light should start to flash Patients who become aware of progressive increase in the severity of the headache should see their doctor This is particularly urgent if the increasing 28m 121 associated with nausea vomiting muscle weakness visual or speech changes Its also bad sign if the headaches are related to change in the patients personality or if convulsions occur Remember too that the most dangerous ages are prior to 12 and after 35 But luckily the vast majority of headaches are not due to these rare roblems Thats the space my editors will allow me on this topic Besides Ive developed pounding headache trying to get this column completed before their deadline And hate to admit it but in becoming such an in ternational expert on Hawaiian beachboys GiffordJones committed grave error forgot to ask one of them how to play the ukelele Berton Ilerc Noted Canadian author Pierre Berton will make per sonal appearance at Trites Book Shop in the Bayfield Mall Nov froin 330 to
