Lamb, M.D., News America Service On treatment of pernicious anemia DEAR DR. LAMB: How serious is pernicious anemia? How is it detected and what is the prognosis? Is acheck on bone marrow and red corpuscles made by the bone marrow the only way to make the diagnosis? One doctor thinks it is very serious. Another says it does not amount to much. Please put my mind at ease. Where shall I put my trust? DEAR READER: Whether it is serious or not may depend on who has tit. I suspect that any doctor who had pernicious anemia would think it was rather important. The difference in comments is subject to interpretation. The truth is that with modern medical treatment most patients with per­ nicious anemia can expect to lead a fairly normal life with a normal life ex­ pectancy . Of course, that depends upon good medical management and the pa­ tient following the doctor's instruc­ tions. In contrast, before 1926 pernicious anemia was invariably fatal. Marie Curie, the famed Nobel prize winner for the discovery of radium, died from pernicious anemia. What made the difference? The discovery of vitamin B-12. Actually, it was discovered that large amounts of raw liver would protect against the disease. Later, liver shots were given and finally, in 1948, pure vitamin B-12 was discovered. That is what makes modern treatment possible and has completely changed the outlook for pa­ tients with pernicious anemia. B-12 is essential to form new DNA for cell nuclei and enable new cell genera­ tion. Since your bone marrow must produce large numbers of new red blood cells every day, a vitamin B-12 deficiency stops this action or makes it inefficient. The end result is not enough red blood cells, and that means an anemia. I have discussed this problem in more detail in The Health Letter, Special Report 15, "Vitamin B-12 and Folic Acid Deficiency Anemias," which I am sending you. Others who want this issue can send 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. There may also be a decrease or absence of acid production by the stomach and a lack of an important substance called intrinsic factor. This decreases the ability to absorb B-12. To circumvent this problem, B-12 is given by shots to correct the deficiency. DEAR DR. LAMB: I know a man whose wife died of cancer. Then he married her sister, and she died of the same kind of cancer. Now there is talk going around that this man is a carrier of that disease. Is this possible? I never thought cancer was something you could get from another person. Is there any use in washing your hands after caring for a cancer patient to protect yourself? Isn't this an example of vicious tongues of ignorant people? DEAR READER: It is certainly grossly misleading. There is no such thing as a "cancer carrier." But we do know that people inherit a susceptibili­ ty to cancer. The type of gene ab­ normality has even been identified. It is much more likely that the two sisters had an inherited weakness or suscep­ tibility to cancer. There is no evidence that a person can catch cancer from a cancer pa­ tient. But I wouldn't want to discourage you from washing your hands after taking care of a cancer pa­ tient, or any other type of patient, for that matter. Human contact may play a role in some types of cancer. Cancer of the cervix is more likely to occur in women who were sexually active at an early age and had multiple sexual partners. However, occasionally virgins iidve cancer of the cervix, too.

Inc "/ don't Ilka going up against guys who hava drug AND saliva problems " By James Jacoby Newspaper Enterprise Association Help cometh from West "My cup runneth over." exclaimed South after the opening lead of the club nine. South was not really that much of an expert on biblical expres­ sions, but he was right in that there were two ways to guarantee his con­ tract after that lead. He won the club king in hand, won dummy's queen and jack of hearts, then played the club ace and ruffed a club. Next he took the king and ace of spades and ruffed a spade. Now he led dummy's last club. He could now make the contract by throwing a diamond on that club, end playing East -- a simple exercise. Ea^t was wrong to double four clubs. Sure, he might be able to beat that contract, but does he really want a club lead if the opponents bid a slam? Certainly a diamond iead might be better. What about West? He had heard the opponents cue-bid first- and second- round controls in both clubs and spades. If he believed them, he should have led a diamond on the go Then poor South would have had to search his memory of sacred writings for a quip about an empty water jar during a drought.
