ANTOINE HARRIS A Sequel: Ignorance Is 'Blitz' In A Whiplash Last week this column reported Dr. Harris's warning of the consequences con-sequences of ignoring treatment for whiplash injuries. In his view, it is foolhardy to forego examination following any auto accident or fall as the tell-tale symptons of a whiplash can be hidden for days, or even weeks. However, when a whiplash is Ignored, at its incidence, it can be devastating in the final anal-sis. anal-sis. How devastating? In What way? We put those questions to Dr. Lowry Harris of the Harris Chiropractic Center and present pre-sent here what would be considered con-sidered a sequel to last week's article. "Devastating is your word," said Dr. Harris. "But it is a good one. "Consider such problems as traumatic arthritis, nerve root compression, myofibrositis, chronic disc re-injury to name only a few all can result from an untreated whiplash," saysDr. Hairis. "Ami you can readily see "how devastating." Dr. Harris notes that follow- . ing a whiplash, joint ligaments can heal with scar tissue if treatment is not sought following follow-ing the injury. "With scar tissue there is a loss of elasticity in the ligaments, liga-ments, which in itself can result re-sult in a loosened spinal joint," Dr. Harris points out. "If the loose joint becomes Instable, traumatic arthritis may well result," he adds. "Myofibrositis occurs," says Dr. Harris , "when the injured muscle and surrounding ligaments liga-ments are replaced by the scar tissue." The most common complication complica-tion in whiplash is the aforementioned afore-mentioned "nerve root compression." com-pression." "Nerve root pain is excruciating," excruciat-ing," says Dr. Harris, "As it radiates over an entire area serviced by the particular spinal nerve. "Chronic disc re-injury sounds to be a logical danger of the untreated whiplash." "Of course, your're right," says Dr. Harris "A whiplash jolt can render the spine susceptible sus-ceptible to any number of disc injuries from subsequent jolts and shocks." In addition to the problems connected with untreated whiplashes whip-lashes as noted.Dr. Harris points out many more. The list, however, how-ever, is too lengthy to detail here. He does say that neuritis of the neck, extreme nervousness, and even eventual brain and spinal injuries can result. "I know it sounds as if I'm. over-simplifying to say: "to ignore ig-nore a whiplash is to play with fire," says Dr. Harris, "But that is such an accurate description." de-scription." . In other words, don't compound com-pound the problems of an accident acci-dent with your own indifference. "You know," says Dr. Harris "just about every day I see a patient whose difficulties are traceable to old accidental injuries, in-juries, They ignored the warning warn-ing signs and are paying for it as far as I'm concerned," concluded Dr. Harris, "their suffering suf-fering is absolutely needless," (Note: Thewhiplashsymptoms, whether immediate or delayed, are generally the stiff neck, head or neck pains, and an uneasiness un-easiness - or tension - particularly par-ticularly upon awaking. The more serious symptoms such as restricted neck motions, headache, head-ache, nausea, muscle spasms, etc., are considered absolute.

Watching Your Health We often hear of the search for a cure for cancer and wonder why scientists are having difficulty dif-ficulty in finding it. A part of the reason is that cancer is not a single disease but a large group of closely related, yet different, malignant diseases. There are over one hundred basic kinds of cancers. ' Cancers develop for many different dif-ferent reasons and are caused by a variety of agents. The causes of most cancers have not yet been identified, however. The effects of cancers may range from minor illnesses to life threatening ailments. While the whole world waits for a cure for cancer, it is doubtful doubt-ful that a specific treatment will ever be found which will be effective ef-fective for all kinds. Cancers are being treated and cured today in several ways. Doctors may use x-ray, surgery, radioactive substances, and drugs. It is important im-portant to understand that all cancers are not alike and cannot, be treated in the same way. Pain is usually not the first sign of cancer. The public should learn to recognize the danger signals sig-nals of cancer. The presence of any of them should always mean a visit to the doctor to determine the cause and to obtain proper care. Briefly, they are unusual un-usual bleeding or discharge, a lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere, a sore that does not heal, persistent change in bowel or bladder habits, persistent persis-tent hoarseness or cough, persistent per-sistent indigestion .or difficulty in swallowing, change in a wart or mole.
