An Interview On ... THE WHIPLASH SYNDROME ... With Dr. Harvey C. Schultz, Jr. D.C. ?Dr. Harvey C. Schultz, Jr., D.C., of the Schultz Chiropractic Center, has issued a strong appeal to acci dent victims to make them aware of the importance of immediate modern Chiropractic examination for whiplash injuries. "If individuals would only realize the need for immediate examination and treatment following an acci dent," says Dr. Schultz. "In the three week period following an accident, proper core and treatment of a whiplash injury can often save a person a lifetime of pain and dis comfort." "You must remember," says Dr. Schultz. "that a whiplash injury doesn't always manifest itself until 48 hours or more after an accident. Often a victim is stunned right af ter an accident and doesn't note any of the whiplash effects. How ever. after a night s sleep, or even longer, he will usually experience a stiffness or soreness in the neck.' "Of course adds Dr. Schultz, the whiplash symptoms can be pre sent right away The most prevalent symptoms are the stiffness and tenderness in the neck and headaches. There can also be nausea, blackouts, dizziness and ? visual disturbances. And he notes, "in better than 50 percent of the cases there is low back pain What is whiplash and what is its cause? "Technically speaking," says Dr. Schultz, "a whiplash neck in jury is the involuntary thrust of the head and neck in any direction, and the resulting elastic recoil of the head and neck in the opposite direction. ??/?"v mmmmm m w DOCTOR OF CHIROPRACTIC with injury to the surrounding and supporting tissues.' "Incidentally.'' Dr. Schultz points out, the research council of the U. S. Air Force has demonstrated that the normal neck can withstand a forward snapping fifty times the force of gravity before producing a major injury but only a backward snapping of five times the force of gravity can be tolerated. It also should be noted that the elasticity of the neck structures de creases with advancing age. In general, says Dr. Schultz. the ol der the victim the more likelihood of injury and disability through whiplash. The complications of whiplash in juries are many and varied. Strains, sprains, fractures nerve injuries, muscle spasms, ruptured disc, nerve root compression brain and spinal cord injury that stretches into a joint usually threatens the joints with traumatic arthritis says Dr. Schultz. When should you investigate the possibility of a whiplash' After any accident or any time you experience a soreness or stiff ness in the neck, you should consult the Schultz Chiropractic Center. The Doctors are specialists in structural and spinal disorders and will odvise you frankly and sincerely.

I Part 2 of * 7 Part Series Submitted by Lumbee Medical Center) HOW DOES DIABETES AFFECT THE BODY? Foods are the body's chief source of energy. In diabetes the body is unable to utilize food in the usual way. Normally the body changes food to a form of sugar called glucose. It may burn this right away to supply heat or energy, or it may store the glucose in a slightly different form, for use later on. But in diabetes, glucose accumulates in the blood. Then the kidneys work over time to get this wasted sugar out of the body by way of the urine, and the body must draw on fats and proteins instead of glucose for the energy it needs. Diabetes, in other words, is a disease in which the body can no longer make use of certain foods in a normal way. Diabetes is not contagious and you aren't marked or deformed by it. In most cases, unless you have been negli gent, it doesn't stop your normal routine. Treated pro perly, the person with dia betes feels well and lives almost the same as anyone else. WHY DO PEOPLE GET DIABETES? The basic cause of the disease has not yet been found, but diabetes is related to the working of the pan creas. This is a large gland located behind the stomach, whose secretions help digest our food. One of the hormones pro duced by the pancreas is insulin and the principal job of insulin is to help the body use glucose. In diabetes, the body either does not produce enough insulin or may not be able to use what is produced. When there is too little insulin, the body cannot store or burn glucose accumulates in the body in large amounts and is spilled into the urine. Whatever the actual cause, it can be traced to a lack of insulin. We know this because when a diabetic is given the right amount of insulin by injection, the sugar in his blood drops to a normal level and none is carried off through the urine. EXACTLY WHAT IS INSULIN? Insulin is a natural hor mone which regulates the body's use of sugar. With it, the body can "bum" sugar and convert it to energy. Without insulin, the sugar can't be burned, and it accumulates in the blood. Insulin might be compared to a match for a person trying to light a fire. He may have plenty of fuel and oxygen, but without a match or something to start the fire, the fuel won't bum. Insulin is produced in the pancreas, a glandular struc ture located across the ab domen behind the stomach. Throughout the pancreas there are two types of cells alpha and beta cells. Alpha cells make glucagon, a hor mone which raises the blood sugar; beta cells make insu lin, which lowers the blood sugar. Normally the amounts of glucagon and insulin se creted balance each other. But in diabetes the amount of insulin produced is insuffi cient. Uniil the discovery of insu lin in 1921, patients with diabetes rarely survived more than a few years after diag nosis. Insulin treatment was found to prevent death from diabetic coma and to control the overt symptoms of the disease. Many of the patients treated with the new "drug" in 1922 are still living today. HOW IS INSULIN TAKEN? Insulin is .injected under the skin of the arm, abdomen or thigh. Most people with diabetes (even young chil dren) learn quickly to give themselves their own injec tions. To avoid muscle atro phy (shrinking), the patient should rotate the site from day to day, returning to the same site only about once a month. The concentration ot the insulin solution and the amount used are determined by the doctor on the basis of individual needs. Various types of commercially pre pared insulin are available and each varies in speed of actionT'Because of this vari ety, the doctor is able to prescribe exactly the right type and amount, taking into consideration the severity of the case, diet, exercise and other health factors. ARE THERE ORAL DRUGS, TOO? The oral compounds which have come into use in the treatment of diabetes since 1955 are not insulins nor are they substitutes for insu lins, because their action is quite different. Up to now. all efforts to develop a form of oral insulin have failed be cause the digestive juices apparently destroy the hor mone. But research along this line continues. The oral drugs, which come in tablet or capsule form, are believed to lower the blood sugar level by stimulating the production of insulin in the pancreas. Unlike insulin, the oral compounds are effective only in certain types of diabetes--mainly mild diabe tes in older people whose disease develops after the age of forty, or in cases where for some reason the patient can not take insulin injections. Farmers must report lease payments for Quotas on From 1099-MISC GREENSBORO: Tobacco growers and other farmers are required to prepare Form 1099-MISC for certain rental payments they have made during the year to allotment owners, the Internal Revenue Service says. Payments of $600 or more in a year for the lease and transfer of tobacco and other crop allotments are subject to reporting, if made to a person other than a corporation and if made in the course of the payer's trade or business, usually farming. According to the IRS, payments are re portable on Form 1099-MISC as "rent" in the same manner as pasture, machine, and real estate rentals. The penalties relating to information returns were substantially increased by the Tax Equity and Fiscal Re sponsibility Act of 1982. Be ginning with 1982 information returns which were to be furnished to by Jan uary 31, 1983. and filed with IRS by the end of February of 1983, a panalty of S50 applies to: 1. Each failure to furnish the recipient's tax identifi cation number on information returns; 2. Each failure to timely furnish statements to payees; 3. Each failure to timely file information returns. In ad dition. any payer who fails to include his or her own tax identification number on any information return is subject to a $5 panalty per failure. There is a $50,000 annual maximum for each of these penalties. 1984 Form 1099-MISC in formation returns must be furnished to payees not later than January 31. 1985. and filed with IRS by February 28. 1985.
