R * At-I HEALTH Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. Don’t self-treat severe asthma By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR.LAMB - For about eight years I've been treated with shots for allergic rhinitis. I was doing fine as long as I took the allergy shots. Since we have moved I have been going to a Navy hospital and the doctor claims I have asthma. He has been giving me prednisone and other medicines As long as I am in the hospital with intravenous medicine and breathing machines I get better. Last night I was rushed to the hospital just gasping for breath. After five shots of adrenaline I was sent home I feel jumpy but the wheezing continues. I'm really upset as I don't know what to do. Should I change doctors or try any medicine over the counter that will help this constant wheezing? DEAR READER - Allergic rhinitis does not cause wheezing or the breathing problems you describe. You have asthma. The confusion may arise from the point that some people who are allergic have both asthma and allergic rhinitis. The three major manifestations of such allergies are allergic rhinitis, asthma and hives Some peo ple have one of these and some have two or even all three The difference is really which cells are involved in the allergic reaction In allergic rhinitis the cells in the nasal area are interacting with the allergic substance and pour out histamine or a related chemical that causes the nasal symptoms. In asthma, the cells in the air passages are affected. In hives the cells in the skin are involved in the reaction. Desensitization shots may help in some cases in all three of these con ditions. To help you sort out your problem I am sending you two issues of The Health Letter. \ W> % .4 POLLY S POINTERS Polly Cramer Hair spray on pen stain POLLY’S PROBLEM DEAR POLLY — How can I remove a blue pen mark from an ivory washable wool sweater? Will washing remove this mark that is on the front and very noticeable 9 —MRS. E.F DEAR MRS. E.F. — If the stain is from a ballpoint pen you might spray with hair spray, let it dry and then launder. Some permanent inks cannot be removed. Run cold water through the stain until no more color runs out and then rub in lemon juice and detergent, leave for a few minutes and then launder. If none of these work spread a paste of baking soda and peroxide on it and hold over a steaming tea kettle. Wool can also be sponged with a mixture of one part rubbing alcohol and two parts water. I always wash wool sweaters with that detergent made for washing wool in cold water. —POLLY. DEAR POLLY — My favorite money-saving Pointer is to save the water left after boiling potatoes tor cleaning the copper bottoms of my pans Dip the bottom in the water, rinse and wipe dry Do this often and you will not have to scrub them —REG IN'A DEAR POLLY — The grocery store where I shop has special parking places for handicapped people and when I see an able-bodied person park in one of these spaces it drives me up the wall The people who do this are not very considerate so here s hoping that this will reach even a few of those guilty of this and they will stop it. Thank you for letting me sound off with my Pet Peeve —MAC. DEAR POLLY -My Pointer is for those who wear glasses and prescription sun glasses. Recently I misplaced my regular glass case and was in a hurry to keep an appointment so I used one of my fluffy little nylon footlets The elastic top kept my glasses better in my purse than my regular case. The footlet is also good for wiping smudges from one’s glasses and while one is in the wash the other one can be used. MRS. JS. DEAR POLLY - When using liquid stain removers I used to end up putting more on than was needed do I put some stain remover in a clean empty old roll-on deodorant bottle When we need to use some we just roll a little on the stain and it works great. —C.P.

New York N.Y. 10019 As these issuesex plain your parents may have one of these three disorders and as a child you may inherit a different one of the three Treating acute asthma at tacks is sometimes difficult I would not advise a do it yourself approach in a severe case such as yours. That could be a very serious mistake. Better stick with your doctor and stay away from those over the counter, do it yourself efforts. You 11 un derstand this better when you read the Health Letters that 1 am sending you. DEAR DR LAMB - What is the approximate limit of calories that the body can con vert into fat a day'’ If I burn 3000 calories per day but eat 20.000 calories a day can the entire balance of 17.000 calories be converted to fat or are some of them simp ly excreted without being utilized? DEAR READER - The limit is in how much you can eat and absorb. Once the calories are absorbed from the small intestine into the blood stream they will be processed and the unused balance will be used to form fat In your illustration, about 4 85 pounds of fat Os course if you developed diarrhea from overeating you would not absorb all of them and those wouldn't count Otherwise calories do count — every last blasted one of them. So if your stomach and intestines can hold the food and digest and absorb it — you will convert the total excess to fat Dr Lamb answers representative letters of general interest in his column SEWSPM’I u i:vn hi-hise \SS\ FRANK AND ERNEST 1 by Bob Thoves _ X COutD 5 WEAR somebody just nuuAHrsi rss s ME TO BuMOtt UP \ IMJ I « WARM AND GET I ■ J HOME EA/?LYL o £■ I j |IM |T i H a H.
