European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - September 14, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Page 18 the stars and stripes wednesday september 14, 1977 modern Medicine Over breath no can Lea to deceptive symptoms by Michael j. Halberstam hype ventilators or Oye breathers Are familiar in literature and history. Victorian her Oines in the theater and in real life could swoon on Cue collapsing on their red velvet settees while frantic suitors rushed to revive them. Breathing unusually rapidly and deeply causes an abnormal loss of Carbon dioxide in the blood making you feel dizzy faint exhausted and inclined to hyperventilate even More. If the Cycle continues you May feel Chest pains and wrongly think you Are having a heart attack. All because of Over breathing. Who hyperventilate and Why a description written 400 years ago called hyper Entila tors Melanc Holike Folk. Commonly Given to sigh. Lovers and All those which Are very busily occupied in some deep contemplation. Sillie fools likewise wonder at the sight of any beautifully goodly Pic Ture. " nowadays most of us unconsciously hyper ventilate at some time when we Over exert or Are frightened angry tense or anxious. Habitual Over breathing affects men As often As women reaching a Peak in women Between Ages 15 and 30 and in men somewhat later. Harried mothers Are frequently victims at Christmas time. Some studies describe the hype ventilator As a gifted individual who is ambitious makes excessive demands upon himself or herself rushes to be on time masks feelings and emotions. For these keyed up individuals fear Man invented not Only sex also balanced diet by Robert Musel London up humans invented sex As we know it about 10 million years ago in response to an urge. An urge to eat Well that is. Prof. Tom Stonier of the University of Bradford says our ancestors might Only have been hominid human like that far Back but they were in our direct line of descent and get the credit for inventing not Only sex but a balanced diet. In a look into the past and into the future in a paper prepared for the 139th annual meeting of the British association for the Advance ment of science at the University of Aston in Birmingham Stonier Drew this scenario of those Early Days. It All began when the hominids extended their Range from simple food gathering and scavenging to Hunting with weapons thus altering the Basic relationship Between their society and its environment. This altered relationship in turn Stonier said fostered new forms of behaviour Pat terns and social organization. Food sharing an extremely rare phenomenon among other primates must have become a regular Fea Ture of hominid behaviour. This Laid the foundations for a food obtaining dichotomy. The particularly Able bodied hunted. The others gathered food in the More traditional primate pattern. To give meat to those who did not participate in the Hunt or to give away tubers to those who did t gather them was unnatural. Yet if sharing could be instilled into that pre human psyche the selective advantage of having not one but two major sources of food was enormous. There apparently emerged a sexual Dicho Tomy with the women obtaining most of the carbohydrates and the Man obtaining most of the proteins. It is probable that associated with this process was the evolution of nonproductive sexual Intercourse into an affectional response to reinforce food sharing. Our ancestors became the sexiest Crea Tures on this  and also the first to discover that the Way to a Man or woman s heart is through the Stom Ach. Stonier estimates Man invented language about a million years ago which leaves Mil Lions of years in which he managed to survive without gossiping or joking about sex. In his forecast of the future Stonier said tissue culture would inspire a revolution in foodstuffs. To produce Apple sauce by growing an entire tree and waiting for it to produce apples is a fairly inefficient Way to go about ithe said. This is even More True for grow ing an entire steer for making hamburger. It should be possible to produce High Quality tasty Apple sauce and hamburgers by the controlled growth of the appropriate  anxiety laughter excitement animated conversation or even watching television can set off a bout of excessive deep breathing. Hyperventilation has physical As Well As psychological origins. Many of the breathing difficulties people experience at High altitudes Are caused by hyperventilation often induced by Lack of oxygen. Pilots of Small air planes lacking pressure and oxygen equipment Are in danger of hyperventilating following oxygen hunger or the panic of suddenly encountering rough weather strange engine sounds or the Gas gauge Needle on empty. Once breathing quickens whatever the reason the level of Carbon dioxide in the blood becomes abnormally Low causing the blood to become alkaline. The altered blood chemistry constricts the arteries and therefore the amount of blood going to the brain and this results in dizziness faintness and the urge to Over breathe even More. A secondary effect is to alter the Way the body uses Calcium which leads to muscle cramps especially in the hands. As Over breathing becomes a conditioned reflex it May trigger frightening symptoms that resemble epilepsy lung disorders and a variety of neurological problems. A person May spend countless dollars and hours in physicians offices trying to find a diagnosis for what turns out to be a simple breathing prob Lem. Symptoms suggesting heart disease cause the most concern since the hype ventilator can produce in himself dizziness heart palpitations dilated pupils Tetany clenched hand numbness tingling of the extremities and general weakness. Yet electrocardiograms and other diagnostic tests proclaim the patient is Normal. After eliminating the possibilities of serious disease the physician May eventually suspect that Over breathing is the cause of the trouble. A simple test often confirms the diagnosis the patient deliberately Over breathes for two to three minutes and causes the symptoms to recur. Reassurances that the problem is not heart disease or another serious ailment open re Lieve the patient s urge to Over breathe. For Relief of immediate symptoms the hyper Ven dilator can breathe into a paper bag to restore Carbon dioxide Levels in the blood. Or follow ing Federal aviation administration advice to pilots the hype ventilator can slow breathing by talking singing or counting aloud. The permanent solution for the anxious hyper Ven dilator however lies in solving the underlying emotional problems and stresses that cause Over breathing.

Big daddy from Alabama dear daddy . You win. Keep your powder dry. Dear Ann Landers this is the Story of boy Snow and grass. The boy is 18, athletic a High school Honor student. Father works 10 hours a Day and some weekends. Mother also works. I was relieved when the snowy Winter ended and i no longer had to watch father do All the shovel ing. Now evidently father is going to do All the grass mowing. Why because he thinks son should see the need and do it without being asked. Mother believes father should assign the task to son As she Doles out duties to daughters. Son sees no connection Between having a car to drive free Gas allowance room Board clothing and love and doing the Lawn mowing and Snow shovelling for his on the feet All Day father. Son s total contribution is occasional trash burning. Please Ann speak to this Young Man and say what his parents Are not Able to do. He will understand if you Tell him and he will respect himself More in 10 years. He does not mean to be thoughtless or selfish and he will soon expect some help with col lege expenses from the very parents he does not give help now.

Just sign me because i care i Kalamazoo dear zoo there is nothing i can say to an 18-year-old boy or his parents that will transform him from a parasitical freeloading Hulk to a considerate self starter.
