HOLISTIC
MEDICINE
HELPS AGED

By JUDY CREIGHTON
The Canadian Press

Hotistic medicine — treating all of you, not just what
ails you — is opening new doors for an aging population.

Toronto chiropractor Borys Chambul is using the
technique with patients who suffer from arthritis, back
pain, fatigue, headaches and jaw problems.

“I believe in preventive rather than crisis medicine,”
he said in an interview.

“And in doing do, I consider the total person — the
body's structural, chemical and mental health — as
opposed to simply treating particular symptoms or
aspects of a person's physical health.”

Chambul has trained in holistic methods and his
treatments go well beyond what most chiropractors
provide.

One of his patients, a 50-year-old man, was
complaining of dizziness, mid-back pain, frequent colds,
low energy and insomnia. The patiem was also a heavy
smoker and was under stress at the time.

He had seen his general practitioner for two years
and had been prescribed tranquillizers as his only
treatment — with no improvement.

DESIGNS PROGRAM

Chambul said he gave him a full physical,
chiropractic, neurological and dietary analysis and placed
him on a treatment program twice-weekly for eight
weeks.

The patient's lifestyle and diet were altered and he
was given vitamin and mineral supplements. His spine
was manipulated and he was given a form of acupuncture
using lasers.

Eight weeks later, the patient said he had no further
dizziness or back pain, his energy level had improved and
his smoking had decreased to five cigarettes daily from

Chambul said the man was typical of many of his
middle-aged to older patients who have many of the
symptoms seen in younger people, “but they are move

chronic.”
d he is outspoken about the misuse and overuse of

Kdrugsto treat the maladies of the aging

“As people get older they suffer from a lack of acid
production which in turn decreases the body's ability to
assimilate drugs, or valuable nutrients for that matter,”
he said

INDIVIDUAL DIETS

But, he added, no one diet is good for everybody, and
this is why he treats such illnesses as arthritis
individually

Chambul views stress as one of the most dangerous
elements in the aging process.

“When you are under stress you produce negative
chemicals which can cause headaches, digestive distur
bances and arthritic types of aches and pains.”

Another technique is hair analysis, which he said is
“a good monitor of what minerals there are in the body,
as well as any deficiencies.

He admits there is widespread skepticism through
out the traditional medical world about his type of
treatment

But that view is changing, he said

“Traditional medicine takes the approach that illness
is a crisis and treats it as such. I prefer to treat the whole
person.”

In the initial examination, Chambul determines the
nature and well-being of the patient's bone and muscle
structure. An imbalance in these key systems can often
lead to organ dysfunctions or other medical problems, he
said.

The second step is a chemical analysis of the body

‘This exposes the health of the body's organs,
nutritional inadequacies and deficiencies, effect of
previously prescribed drugs and reaction to environ
mental and chemical pollutants,” he said

The third part of the assessment
non-physical elements.

“Doctors have long known that mental states like
depression leave a person more susceptible to illness and
that mood changes are often caused by very simple and
controllable aspects of one’s environment.”

Chambul said that there is nothing magical or
mystical about his approach to better health

“It is the reality of replacing bad habits with good,
giving the body a little help and setting wellness as the
goal.”

A dictionary definition of holistic medicine reads: a
system of preventive medicine that takes into account the
whole individual, his own responsibility for his well-being
and the total influences — social, psychological, environ.
mental — that affect health, including nutrition, exercise

Lewis blasts smoking

HAMILTON (CP) — George Lewis sits by himself in an
empty lecture room at the McMaster University Medical
Centre every Wednesday and waits — and waits — but
nobody ever shows up.

Lewis keeps hoping students will appear to discuss the
evils of smoking, which he calls CCSI — Chronic Compulsive
Smoke Inhalation.

He also calls it disgusting and says smokers should go
around with plastic garbage bags over their hea

“But getting students interested in lifestyle — forget
it,” says Lewis, a 65-year-old associate professor of anatomy.

“Sure, lots of my colleagues call me an idiot and many of
‘hem put something impolite before the word, but I'm that
concerned about what happens to people who smoke,” Lewis
said ini an interview in his cluttered office with a sign that
says No Smoking — There Are People Breathing In Here.

UPSETS DOCTORS

There are other things about Lewis — author of a book
called Smoking and You — that don't make his medical
colleagues too happy.

He says doctors “have no time for anything that doesn’t
generate a disposable income” and are interested in patients’
health only after the fact.

“They'll fix your heart or your lung — but they aren't
interested in prevention. As a whole, the medical profession
is invisible on this problem.

“We have a modern medical school such as this but the
cigarette issue might as well be on the other side of the
moon,” says Lewis, a onetime smoker who swore off the
weed 35 years ago.

“After you've got something broken, they'll help you
and I'll give them an A-plus for that sort of thing but a
Z-minus for helping you get more mileage out of your life. I
always thought the primary purpose of primary care was to
keep healthy people healthy.

“But I guess we'd be out of business if people didn't get
sick.”

Malpractice costs
top $14 million

WINNIPEG (CP) — The less intellect than a one-year

company that provides most
Canadian doctors with mal
practice insurance paid more
than $14 million last year to
patients who sued, the com.
pany’s annual report says.

The payout is the largest
to date by the Ottawa-based
Canadian Medica! Protective
Association.

“I think everyone is con
cerned when the costs of
something rise and rise,”
says association spokesman
Dr. Stuart Lee.

In 1985, the association
paid just over $14 million for
138 cases that were settled
out of court and 17 that were
decided by a trial. The
payout in 1984 was $13.8
million and $10.9 million in
1983.

Lee said an award of more
than $2 million against an ob-
stetrician was among the
highest

The doctor's improper de.
livery of a premature baby
boy left the infant with a
severe, life-long disability

The report said the child
was delivered with his cord

around his neck, /after »#
forceful forceps deliveyy
which experts later Said
should have been a caesarean
section.

At age five, the child has

old, was unable to walk and
had poor vision. He will need
constant care throughout his
life

“The reason (for high re
wards in obstetrical cases) is
that there are decades of ex
pensive care to be provided,”
Lee said. “You are talking
about a baby, dreadfully dis-
abled.”

In another case, a 28-year
old asthmatic woman with
three children died after
being prescribed and taking a
drug which had deadly side
effects for her.

Her family was awarded a
large out-of-court settlement
The report said it was unac
ceptable to prescribe a drug

known side effects. Lee re

He says more than 35,000 people a year die in Canada
from respiratory disease caused by smoking.

Lewis smoked from his teens until he was about 30. He
quit when he began studying anatomy and found “what that
juicy little mess at the bottom of a pipe bow! does to your

y

He says that in the 1980s cigarette smoking “is an
unmistakable sign of a severely impaired mind.”

Lewis got into trouble a few years ago when he refused
to lecture medical students who smoked. “If they (medical
students) are not willing to act according to the soundest
medical evidence we have ever had, then they should not be
in medicine,” he said at the time. He relented when the
university stepped in and politely told him it was none of his
business if students smoked out of class. “But I made my
point,” he says.

A constant letter-writer to newspapers or anyone who

might be interested, Lewis says “I have them either rolling
on the floor with laughter with my ideas, or screaming with
rage.
He says his colleagues often ask if there is any known
evil that he doesn't blame on cigarettes, and they often greet
his ideas with such comments as, “My God, there he goes
again.” He has suggested that even AIDS may have
something to do with smoking.

He is delighted with reports of offices that have banned
smoking and smiled when he read that Air Canada would no
longer allow smoking on some flights.

“I guess they should have to lines — Air Canada and
Smoke Canada.”

A handsome, grey-haired man, Lewis believes he's
unique in that he's an anatomy professor but not a medical
doctor.

“I was only interested in anatomy, so I couldn't see why
I should take the rest of the medical course.”

To earn money while studying for a master’s degree in
anatomy at University of Toronto, he taught dancing at an
Arthur Murray dance studio and almost went into the
business full-time.

“But I realized dancing wasn't my life — teaching was.”

Low-fat
diet may
slow MS

LONDON (AP) — British
research suggests a nutrit-
jous low-fat diet slows the
advance of multiple sclerosis,
a crippling nervous disease
that most often strikes young
adults.

“We don’t have a cure for
multiple sclerosis. What we
do have is a way of managing
the disease,” Geraldine Fitz-
gerald, a nutritionist at Lon-
don’s Central Middlesex
Hospital, said in an inter-
view.

AUS. expert said the new
findings should be viewed

Philadelphia, said multiple
sclerosis goes through cycles
of remissions and exacer-
bations, which makes it diffi-
cult to show an effect of such
treatments as diets.
