Finally, some good news from Chris---PTL!!! Izzy
MORE good news from Chris (just like usual!) ...
The morning of the Little Rock stop of MTTP I received an early morning call from a friend stuck in the mud. He was stuck REAL BAD and I got back already LATE for when we wanted to leave for Little Rock (2-1/2 hours away). Hurried off and realized just a little before Little Rock -- I FORGOT TO SUBMIT MY WEEKLY COLUMN TO THE NEWSPAPER! ** sigh ** ... "I'll send it as soon as I get back this evening" I told my wife ... that would be VERY LATE but at LEAST just under the wire for putting the paper together late that night.
Never made it back that night. On the way home we caught a ferocious snowstorm ... hoped it would clear up ... it got WORSE ... 10 miles per hour and several stops just to get nine miles in one hour to a place to rent a room ... already several inches of snow accumulating and snowstorm still just as bad (?worse?). In the morning the highway was covered by
thick snow and ice for more than 60 miles ... slow snow goin' ... the rest of
the 50+ miles after that was better but far from good ... it took more than four
hours to make the usually less than two hour trip from Beebe,
Arkansas.
Submitted my column with explanation and
apology to the newspaper ... late last night received the following from
the Associate Editor ...
Chris,
This WILL run THIS
WEEK ("on time" if we're lucky with weather & roads -- later,
if not)
Yah is SO GOOD -- blessed be His NAME! NATURALLY
Speaking
By Christopher C. Barr Growing by leaps or bound? New guidelines for ear infections are being planned for a spring release. Both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians are drafting an update heralded as a revolution in the treatment of children. It will be suggested that "most children over 2 years of age do get better without antibiotics" according to Dr. Allan S. Lieberthal, a pediatrician and the co-chairman of the joint subcommittee preparing the new guidelines. Yet, I remember well more than two decades ago the pediatrician Dr. Robert Mendelsohn speaking and writing about doctors and treatments of ear infections. "Be suspicious and question the need if he recommends surgical treatment or antibiotics. In all my years of experience I have never seen a case in which either was necessary," Dr. Mendelsohn strongly noted about children of all ages. Credentials to spare Mendelsohn was not some fly-by-night, small-time doctor. He practiced pediatrics in four decades. He was also a National Director of Project Head Start's Medical Consultation Service, a professor of medicine for almost 25 years, and chairman of the Medical Licensing Committee for the State of Illinois. He wrote a nationally syndicated column, 'The People's Doctor', for many years. Practice makes perfect? Dr. Mendelsohn noted that he was warned in medical school that untreated ear infections would result in deafness. However, as his medical practice matured to medical experience he came to find otherwise. "As the years passed I learned that many of my patients, perhaps the majority, failed to take their antibiotics for the time period prescribed, and many of them never got the prescription filled at all" wrote Mendelsohn. This 'People's Doctor' noted that those untreated patients recovered just as rapidly as the treated ones. None ever went deaf. Half-speed or fast forward? The new report slated for release this spring notes that European studies have found antibiotics are often not necessary to clear an ear infection. Mendelsohn noted 20 years ago European and U.S. studies that backed up his experience and that of his growing body of graduate students. Ear infections in children recovered at the same rate with or without antibiotics. However, "the trade-off is that the antibiotics also reduce the body's natural immune response", Mendelsohn gravely noted. He cited studies that noted children treated with antibiotics suffered a higher recurrence of ear infections within four to six weeks than untreated children did. It's your choice! You can wait for spring and get a barely updated but highly touted "revolutionary" report. Or, you can act now and get the time-tested, tried and true methods of Dr. Robert S. Mendelsohn M.D. in his book 'How to Raise a Healthy Child � In Spite of Your Doctor'. Christopher C. Barr writes Naturally Speaking from Arkansas: The Natural State � naturally!
