YOQ AND YOUR HEALTH
By Dr. Robert DtMwrco
Dear Dr. DeMarco:
Have you ever heard of
using electric shock treat
ments to stem the detri
mental effects of
poisonous snake bites?
Answer: Yes, in Ecua
dor shock treatments
have been used very ef
fectively in treating ven
omous snake bites. High
voltage, low-current
electric shocks are used.
The bitten area is electri
cally grounded, then cur
rent is applied directly to
the bite for one to two
seconds using an insulat
ed probe. Four or five
shocks applied at inter
vals of five to ten seconds
are usually sufficient to
rid bite victims of the
typical effects of snake
bites.
In cases where the cur
rent was applied within a
half hour or the bite, the
pain was gone within 16
minutes. The swelling,
bleeding, shock and kid
ney failure usually associ
ated with snake bites did
not occur. Doctors theo
rize the method works be
cause the electric current
influences the hydrogen
bonds of the enzymes in
the snake venom. And fi
nally, the current inter
feres with the membrane,
as well as the positively
charged peptides in the
venom, decreasing its
toxic properties. Inciden
tally, I don’t think I can
advise using this tech
nique, unless you know
more about it than I do.
Dear Dr. DeMarco:
Would you please discuss
a condition called “clau
dication.” I’m a sufferer
and wonder if there is any
remedy to the problem
other than bypass
surgery?
Answer: A symptom
of intermittent claudica
tion results from a defi
cient blood supply in an
exercising muscle. After
just a brief period of
walking, the limb be
comes “tired” or a pain,
ache or cramp may be
felt. Usually it occurs in
the calf, but the condition
alto can affect the foot,
hipe, thighs or buttocks.
After a few moments of
rest, from one to five
minutes, the pain abates,
and the'patient can con
tinue to walk, about as far
or as long as originally,
when the symptoms
recur.
The distress is mater
when walking rapidly or
walking uphill, and the
ever-diminishing dis
tances that a person can
cover during the painless
periods indicate the dis
ease is progressing. True
intermittent claudication
never occurs at rest and
does not require that you
rest until the pain
disappears.
The underlying cause
is the presence of athero
sclerotic plaques which
develop in the arteries of
the extremities and block
the passage of blood
needed to carry oxygen to
the working muscles. The
amount of pain and the
distances you can cover
will depend on the extent
of the disease, and if
there are other, open ar
teries in your legs, to help
carry the blood.
A medication that in
creases the ability of red
cells to pass through nar
rowed arteries and capil
laries, may be used to
improve the circulation
in your legs and reduce
the symptoms. It is only
when these techniques
fail to improve your situ
ation that you may have
to consider surgery to by
pass the blocks present in
your arteries which are
the cause of your
problem.

THE FIX-IT SHOP
By LLOYD BIRMINGHAM I
Wood Finishing With Pumice
wnenever a_
rubbed” finish is men
tioned in regard to
furniture, the chances am
very good that pumice
powder was used to ac
complish the finish. This
type of finish, if done
properly will show the
wood surface to be free of
irregularities and will
have a nice silky finish
rather than a high-gloss
type of appearance.
If you enjoy wood fin
ishing as a hobby and
have not used pumice, it
would probably be well
worth your while to ex
periment using pumice
with either oil or water to
produce a wood finish,
even if you am satisfied
with the results that you
have been achieving. Ac
complishing this type of
finish will add a new di
mension to your slrfllf
and add to your reper
toire of finishing
Even if you have only a
limited amount of experi
ence, you should have no
trouble achieving good
results. For one thing,
you will discover that
pumice powder does not
leave scratches and is, in
fact, sometimes used to
get rid of scratches.
When uaed with a felt
pad, pumice powder and
oil will acour quickly and
with little effect. It icours
even faster with water,
which is why beginners
should start with the
pumice-oil cowbhmtkm
before trying the pumice
with water. Note that
when oil is uaed there ia a
slight tendency toward
stickiness which requires
occasionally wiping off.
Another important thing
to remember is that pum
ice powder and water can
be used on varnish or lac
quer, but not on shellac.
To property use the
pumice powder and oil
combination, dip a felt
pad into the mixture,
then mb on the wood us
ing very little pressure.
Various types of oil can
be used with the pumice,
including crude oil, a light
mineral oil, paraffin oil,
or even ordinary house
hold oil such as is used on
sewing machlnae.
Continue the rubbing
process, always with the
grain, stroking lightly and
carefully until the desired
finish is achieved. When
finished, wipe any exceas
liquid off with a soft,
clean seamless cloth.

a man whose emotional neodi have apparently cone into
overdrive and enslaved Ida logical powers.
During William* ’ confirmation hearing*, Sen. Paul
Simon asked him why he had never joined the NAACP or
the Urban liaana champion* of civil riahts. since he was
applying far the position of chief civil righto officer of the
Deportment of Education.
Th*re were no chapters In his hometown of Midland,
Texas, he replied. I suppose that mesne that no one has
ever belonged to the NAACP or the Urban League from
MkPand, Texas. Of course, he lived in California and I
know for a tact that both organisations have branches in
that state.
We all know what Williams is really saying, and it
doesn't have to be spelled out in tide space. Blacks have
historically been taught the lemon that having a dark skin
dossn’t make one like it-or even othsr people who look like
you who have suffered so you can practice ignorance tar
the Bush administration.
The Williamses of this world might even quote Martin
Luther King to "prove” that their distorted virion of a "col
orblind" society U just.
A* I said earlier, Bush will never recover
politically because Williams ha* polarised Ids preaiden
«y
In Ids aagarnsa* to eliminate quotas, Williams and Ms
white handlers have resorted to unfairness. And daprlvlng
■ii lt-yoar-old black or Hispanic yougrtir of a pap"** to
go to collage Is wrong, no matter what legal precedent you
dte.
Bush will be left with the "reverse discrimination"
obsessives who ty "colorblind” after their
anti-dvil rights tactics tailed and advocatee of an “equal"
society after the civil rights movement destroyed the une
dual laws they promoted.
Thtte doaet bigots are the shapers of Williams’ ideas
and the architects of the destruction of the George Bush ad
ministration and the Republican Party. Racism has never
celebrated a final victory and it never will, and this at
tempt to politicise the education of young ******* —h
Hispanic* as a wedge to drive whites out of the Democratic
Party will be no exception.
In the meantime, call President Bush (3U/4M4414; ask
for John Sununu) and tell him to fire the rogue assistant
secretary of education Michael Williams.

who sacrifice time and energy to advocate for children who
have no voice In the struggles they experience in school
each day, and many, many others.
If we as individuals, communities, churches and
organisations could begin to march under the umbrella of
Kwansaa, we literally could eradicate homelessness Just
as the colonists »im togothsr to build log cabins for each
other. There would no longer be a discrepancy between the
expectations of a voting body and their elected «ainUh
because our officials embracing Umoja, Kujlchagulia and
ffla would not be swayed by Gw favors of those who use
them to serve their own purpose. We no longer would have
to argue the issues and realities surrounding our high
unemployment rates for we through UJima have fed our
hungry and through UJamaa and Nla have been employed
in our own schools, Industries, and other businesaee. There
should be no yards fUU of cars worthy only of Junking or
rundown houaoa in our neighborhoods, for we through
Kuumba would have repaired those cars and replaced
thorn worn planks or broken windows.
If we would only embrace the principle of Imani, we as a
people would know ourselves, still be being taught by the
beet qualified (our own) teachers, believe in and be believ
ed in by our parents and because we believe in our
rightnees as a people and as Individuals there would be no
shame as there is in the people who sell and use drugs. If
Imani were our connecting principle we would recognise a
God who dkta’t set ua aside, when He created people in IBs
own image. That same God who inspires the principles of
Ngusa Saba would b ethe ear to which our breasts are turn

Us removal by President Harry S. Truman in 1861.
We do not appear to be united In our need to squelch ag

1841 New York Mayor Fiorella LaGuardia spoke at a
defend-America rally at Madison Square Garden, stressing
labor's willingness to defend America.
On Jan. 15, however, protest marches against our
presanee in the Gulf are planned nationwide.
In 1980 we were at war at home, at school and on our
streets. The war on drugs appears lost to drug dealers who
gun down five-year-olds to leave a mesaage for a 16-year
old drug runner.
The ultimatum has been issued, the date of aggression
set. Only one country, only one leader will be able to save
face.
