ALCOHOL/ALCOHOLISM
Before I get to the issue at hand, a
little about my family and me. My
wife, Feletus Oxendine and I have
lived in many areas of the United
States now, between education and
career moves. Feletus and I both work
at the Phoenix Indian Medical Center
in Phoenix, AZ, "The Valley of the
Sun." It is alright in Phoenix, but we
haven't figured out the big deal why
so many people move our here. I
really miss the tress, the rain, the
swamp, the air back home in North
Carolina. 1 miss fishing with my
buddies in the Lumber River
(Drowning Creek).
Feletus works in the medical lab
general part 1-2 days a week and in
the HIV (AIDS) Research lab the rest
of the week. I am a mid level
practitioner in the Emergency
Department of PIMC. There 1 see and
treat patients from many different
tribes. That is the best thing about
fulfilling Feletus and my 1HS pay
back in Arizona. The experience is
invaluable. PIMC affords me the
experience of treating a wide variety
of medical problems and patients. I
have education and training in
Radiology, Optomology, and
Medicine (general and emergency
medicine). 1 am a commissioned
officer in the USPHS, Director of
Quality Assurance for the PIMC
Emergency Department, Chairperson
ofUSPHAPA, Implemented a quality
improvement plan for the emergency
department on the diagnosis and
treatment and follow up of STD
patients and am currently working on
a plan for better instruction between
die lab and emergency department to
decrease the waiting time of patients.
The Lord has also blessed me with the
opportunity to receive two outstanding
service awards.

ALCOHOL MYTHS AND
TRUTHS: First it is true that women
get more intoxicated than men from
the same amount of alcohol. Next 11/
2 ounces of 80[proof vodka or alcohol.
and five of wine have the same alcohol
amount as a 12 oz. can of beer. It is
also true, thanks be to God. that
Americans are drinking less alcohol
in general. This also accounts for a
decrease in the alcohol related deaths
by motor vehicle; down from 57% to
49%, which s related to all states have
now a minimum drinking age of 21,
and the legally impaired level has
dropped to 0.08 instead of .10. The
bad news is that alcohol cast less now
so it is easy to obtain. Also more bad
news is alcohol is alive and well in the
Native American communities across
the United States. Even if less people
use alcohol now it is rare that alcohol' s
presence is not felt in a person's life in
oursociety.Greaterthan 100,000death
occur every year that are alcohol
related.
Alcohol and your body. Studies
show that the above statement about
women is true. Women become more
intoxicated than a man from the same
amount of alcohol. This is because
alcohol is more soluble in water than
fat. Since women tend to be-smaller
than men and have more fatty tissue
and less body water than men, the
alcohol concentration will be higher
for women of the same sex. Also
women lack the stomach enzymes to
breakdown alcohol before it enters
the blood stream. Pregnant women
should not drink due to the high risk to
their babies of having fetal alcohol
syndrome. Dr. Joey Bell has explained
in his article about fetal alcohol
syndrome. Alcohol passes into breast
milk in small amounts, yet is enough
to inhibit motor development in an
infant
i Alcohol is absorbed into the
bloodstream faster on an empty
stomach. Aspirin in the stomach also
speeds up this alcohol absorption. The
body requires two hours to bum one
halfounce of alcohol You can not run
it off. swim it off or reduce the alcohol
in the bloodstream with coffee. The
less body fat one has the leaner or
larger body framed people are affected
less by the same amount of alcohol as
smaller people or ones with more
fatty tissue. Alcohol jumbles your
thoughts, judgement, memory,
insights are dulled. Alcohol also
adversely affects sexual performance.
The physical problems are caused by
drinking too much alcohol and not
from "mixing" brinks or drinking
"cheap alcohol" and no remedy has
been found for hangovers
Your Heart and Alcohol: Yes.
moderate amounts of alcohol lower
the risk of he art disease by increasing
the good HDL cholesterol. Red wine
is tne one which appears to be
protective. The problem is that most
people can not use alcohol in moderate
amounts; therefore it is usually not
recommended to start drinking to
protect your heart.
Long term excessive use of alcohol
can damage almost every organ and
function of the body. Alcohol irritates
the stomach which decreases the
nutrients, minerals and vitamins that
the body needs to be healthy. Alcohol
causes fatty liver tissue and cirrhosis
of the liver which is often fatal. High
blood pressure and alcohol abuse go
hand in hand, this and the alcohol
itself damage the heart muscle. The
brain is directly affected and can lead
to psychosis and unconsciousness.
Alcohol also appears to play a role in
producing cancerof the stomach, colon
region, esophagus and liver.
Alcoholism is treatable but is hard
to recognize Professional people with
good jobs can be alcoholics. There are
many different approaches to the
treatment of alcoholism' example
Alcoholics Anonymous' 12 step
program' IHS has a 12 step program
outline' groups or individual
psychotherapy; detoxification centers
and other methods are available There
are groups for the family members to
attend and individual therapy for
family members. The important thing
to remember is there is help for the
alcoholic and the family. Please, if
you or someone you know has
alcoholism as a problem, you should
- get help; for it is obtainable in almost
every community. First the drinker
must recognize they have a problem
and then seek the treatment they and
their family needs. Alcoholism is not
a single victim disease/illness.
Well, it is time to say "I'll see you
later" and let the dog in from the 109
degree yard. Ayo from the Valley of
the Sun.
