No more swine flu shots in county

Kosciusko County residents will receive no more swine flu shots announced Barbara Clouse, public health nurse for the county. . Wire news services had carried a story saying the Department of Health, Education and Welfare would distribute a voluntary consent form allowing state and local immunization to continue. At the end of last week, Mrs. Clouse said she had received no word from the state board of health and was not going to resume the flu shot program. Rather, she had been busy collecting all the swine flu serum left in the county from doctors. Recent national attention to Guillain-Barre syndrome, allegedly caused by the shots, has made people afraid to receive the shot, Mrs. Clouse said. "I’m a little disgusted by the whole deal,” she continued “We were trying to do a good thing.” Mrs. Clouse said she disagrees with the relationship between the syndrome and the shots. "We had

Cholesterol and the diet

the disease long before we got the swine flu shots,” she explained. She said the department received a complaint about the syndrome in October but did not receive the flu shots until November. "If an outbreak of any kind of flu does occur, everyone will be afraid to get any shots,” she said. The nurse said she was not hesitant to either give or receive the shots. However, “With the bad publicity, I think it’s bad to give it. People are looking for something to happen.” she said. The county health department administered over 8,000 shots before discontinuing the program. Mrs. Clouse said. The nursing homes in the county were given the serum and took care of their own people. Clinics set by the department included many elderly people, Mrs. Clouse said. Doctors in the area administered the serum for about six weeks before the program was stopped. Mrs. Clouse said she was not in favor of administering the shots and added, “I hope we don’t have to give them again.”

garding it. Cholesterol is a type complex fat found in all animal fat. It is essential for life and has many specific functions within the tody. Cholesterol aids in the conversion of sunlight to Vitamin D, aids in the formation of hormones, and is an essential component of the brain and nervous tissue. Os course plant materials contain no cholesterol so many consumers think that if all dietary cholesterol is eliminated from the diet, cholesterol can also be eliminated. This is a misconception due to the fact that needed cholesterol is manufactured in the body. The body synthesizes two to three grams of cholesterol per day. The average American’s daily diet contains 600-900 milligrams of cholesterol from foods of animal origin. A “low-cholester-ol” diet usually provides about 300 mg. of ctolestprol daily. To date, studies have not shown convincingly that restrictions of dietary cholesterol in the general population reduces the frequency of arteriosclerosis. So res trie tion of dietary cholesterol is hot for everyone. Those who already have arteriosclerosis should follow their physician’s directions and those concerned about high cholesterol levels should consult their physicians. The best advice for healthy Americans interested in preventing heart disease is 1) eat a well balanced diet that supplies your nutritional needs, 2) maintain your weight at a desifable level, and 3) exercise regularly.
