70% Hoosiers favor restrictions

Have a healthy New Year
Many New Year's resolutions involve health improvement. We vow. for example, to lose weight, stop smoking or eat a more balanced diet. The Better Business Bureau advises those that are planning to turn over new, healthier leaves that they should resolve, just as firmly, to avoid falling victim to quacks who promise quick and easy results — at a price. The desire tyimprove oneself is only one of many human traits on which twentieth-ceptury ‘snake oil salesmen’ try-40 turn a profit. Others include fear, ignorance and hopelessness. In each case the quack offers a fast, easy way to get the desired results bybypassing doctors or other professionals. In some cases, the quack's way is portrayed as the only way. Be warned; quackery is useless at best and often is harmful. Play On The Emotions Overweight persons are the target of one of the most widespread forms of quackeryweight reduction plans' that require no dieting, calorie counting or exercise. Testimonials that play on the emotions of prospective customers promise dramatic results in a remarkably short time. The plan' usually requires the purchase of pills, tight-fitting belts or undergarments, vibrating machines or other devices. Trying to lose weight without consulting a doctor can be dangerous, especially if pills are involved. Losing weight requires that fewer calories be taken in than are burned up in exercise and normal activities, and maintaining weight loss requires that these quantities be kept in

that a majority of Hoosiers (70 per cent) favors a legal restriction on smoking in public buildings The polls also found that 58 per cent favor restricting smoking in public buildings and that seven out of 10 persons interviewed believe people's health is endangered by the presence of tobacco smoke in the vicinity. Further, the poll found that 69 per cent of those polled believe persons who smoke in theaters should be fined.
• balance. Anyone seriously interested in losing weight can get good advice from a doctor. Usually, he will prescribe a restricted but healthy diet, often advising a daily program of moderate exercise As in dieting, will power is the key to a stop-smoking resolution Products such as pills, gum, cigarettes made from substances that contain no nicotine, or devices that reduce the amounts of nicotine and tars that are ingested, help temporarily at best. The smoker who wants to become a former smoker must do it the hard way. perhaps with the aid of a stop-smoking clinic that is supervised by professionals. Many impose a small fee or none at all. The family doctor is the person to consult about eating better foods. ‘Health foods' often are no more valuable than regular grocery items that are more available and less expensive. The varieties of vitamins available in stores usually aren't needed by persons who eat balanced meals. Again, a doctor can advise whether or not a particular supplement is needed. ‘Special' Machines. 'Secret' Formulas Self-improvement quacks are only a small portion of a huge health fraud industry There are cancer quacks, arthritis quacks, diabetes quacks, and quack psychiatrists, to name only a few Quacks offer cures for virtually every known disease, as well as some that haven't been discovered yet. Beyond pills, lotions and elixirs, they sell machines; some costing hundreds of dollars, all worthless. All quack remedies are harmful to the extent that they cause the victim to put off getting real help from competent professionals. Some of them are harmful to use. There are several tactics commonly used by quacks ot which consumers should be aware. They promote ‘special’ machines and 'secret' formulas not available from doctors. (Keep in mind that doctors, who have their patients welfare at heart, don't keep secrets from each other * Quacks often advocate a ‘special' treatment, better than standard medical practice, with supposedly guaranteed results no matter

What do you do when your child receives a deluge of new toys and loses interest in his old ones? A West German mother came up with an intriguing idea: a play-o-theque. She sets up an area with room to play and toys to hire. Children were entranced by the opportunity to borrow someone else’s toys. The idea was so popular that the German government has set up other

“Christmas Seal dollars have been at work supporting a state law to restrict smoking in public places for the past several years.” Dake continued. “It is now clear that such a law reflects the wishes of the majority of Indiana's citizens.*' Locally the American Lung Association sponsors the Peer Influence Smoking Education Program presented in fifth grade classes of area schools by trained high school volunteers.
how serious or complicated the illness They claim they are persecuted by medical groups, give testimonials from satisfied customers to prove their products’ effectiveness, and offer special prices for early pur chases. Many use impressive — but strange — titles or credentials. The Better Business Bureau recommends that anyone who suspects health fraud contact their family doctor or local medical society. New Year’s resolutions are hard enough to carry out without a quack adding to the trials and tribulations.
