JL-'srai HEALTH Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. Good health’s real enemy By Lawrence E. Lamb, M.D. DEAR DR. LAMB - Why don’t doctors do more about preventing illnesses? It seems to me doctors spend most of their time just trying to prolong someone’s life who is going to die anyway. Wouldn't it be a lot better to prevent this person from getting sick in the first place? Is this because doctors make more money doing heart surgery and treating cancer than they do preventing it? DEAR READER — Doctors have discovered the real enemy to health a long time ago and there isn't much we can do about it. The enemy is YOU! Doctors would love to prevent illnesses but they can only be successful in this area to the extent that people follow the good advice they have been given. Let’s look at automobile ac cidents. In 1974 when lower automobile speed limits were being obeyed the death rate from automobile accidents dropped 17.4 per cent. But people do not want to slow down to save energy let alone their own or someone else’s life. Did you know that your chances of surviving an acci dent at 71 miles per hour are only about 50-50 at best? The chances of survival improve the slower the speed. At speeds between 51 and 60, the chances are 31 to 1 in your favor. When you are inclined to drive fast just remember the figures. Accidents are the most common cause of death in males and females between the ages of 15 and 34 and most of these are automobile ac cidents. There is little doctors can do to prevent you from risking your life or others. You are the problem. Doctors ask people to quit smoking. Do they? Who can make a person quit smoking? Yet cancer is the second most POLLY'S POIHTERS Polly Cramer Scrub sticky vinyl POLLY’S PROBLEM By Polly Cramer DEAR POLLY — I would like to know if anyone has a remedy that will clean vinyl furniture that has become sticky. — MRS. C.L. DEAR MRS. C.L. — I am sure we will be hearing from some of our generous readers who have had this same problem. Such furniture should be wiped off with an untreated cloth and if you have been using one with oil or polish doubtless that caused the stickiness. I would wash with mild suds and then dry carefully. If there is ground-in dirt, you might try a laundry detergent and a brush that is neither too stiff nor too soft. Rinse well and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. There is a commercial cleaner for vinyl fabrics. — POLLY. DEAR POLLY — When I buy ground meat I remove it from the wrapper, put in a freezer bag and flatten it into a thick slab, put the store label that gives the weight on the freezer bag and then freeze. This saves space in the freezer compart ment and thaws faster than a big mound of meat. Also, I sew an inside pocket with that new sticky type clos ing inside all my coats so when I must carry a larger amount of money than usual it is tucked away and would not be lost or stolen if pomething happened to my purse. — MRS. A.C.H. DEAR POLLY - In an answer to Peggy you suggested that she use peanut or vegetable oil on her cutting board and I was told by an expert in the cooking field that one should only use mineral oil on a bread board as it does not become as rancid as vegetable oil, etc. It works. — Jackie. DEAR MRS. D.H.S. and Peggy - The advice I gave Peggy was given me by an installer of such boards when he was put; ting in a new one for me. The use of the bleach suggested for cleaning would serve as a disinfectant. Mineral oil is good to use for oiling I know, and there are often two or three or more good answers to the same question. Even experts sometimes disagree as to what is best to use in certain cases. Just scrub bing and no oiling would certainly cause one to have a dry board. Do remember that no matter what type oil one uses the excess is wiped completely away. — POLLY.

Did you know that 90 per cent of all lung cancer could be stopped tomorrow if everyone would quit smoking? Can the doctors outlaw smoking? Fatal heart attacks are three times as common in smokers as in nonsmokers. Yet smoking is permitted in public places and during com mercial travel. Intelligent people who know they are in creasing their risk continue to smoke cigarettes. What can the doctor do? There is abundant evidence that limiting your calorie in take and keeping your physical activity up to eliminate or prevent obesity will benefit your health in preventing high blood pressure, elevated fatty cholesterol deposits in the arteries that lead to heart at tacks and strokes and premature senility. Only you can limit your calories and ex ercise. Cirrhosis of the liver is the fourth most commori cause of death in men between the ages of 35 and 54 and 60 per cent of these are caused by alcohol. Doctors have no authority to make people quit abusing their bodies with alcohol. If people follow sensible liv ing habits they can live in good health longer.
