For example, breast cawr many times moves to bone cancer. Could you please tell me what is the cause of cancer of the colon? DEAR READER - We really don't know all the factors that cause cancers. Certain conditions are associated with an increased likelihood of having cancer Some environmental factors increase the likelihood a person will have cancer if he's susceptible to it to begin with. Viruses have been involved in producing some animal cancers but we don't have positive proof of this in humans. We know that certain chemicals and even the radiation from sunshine is capable of inducing cancer. It follows that I can't answer your question about what causes cancer of the colon. Cancers of the colon and rectum are the second most common cause for cancer deaths in the United States. Not nearly enough has been done to educate the public on this problem and that's one of the reasons these are the second most common cause of cancer f ' ' h CHATHAM BLANKETS 1 H II DEAR DR.

There is some reason to believe that individuals who eat a very bland diet that doesn't contain adequate bulk is it may be more susceptible to cancer of the colon. There's also some evidence that eating a high fat diet may contribute to cancer of the colon. Also there are son' new studies that suggest that chlorophyl as found in leafy green vegetables may help to protect against cancer of the colon. There is enough circumstantial evidence for the prudent person to eat a diet that contains an adequate amount of bulk, particularly cereal fiber as in bran. The diet should also include an adequate amount of leafy vegetables and be moderately MEN'S WESTERN BILTS $84 to $9 00 A qua'ity brand name blanket in twin full size Ideal for camping or stock up for wedding Reg presents AM-F- ALL restricted in fat content I'm sending you The Health Letter number 14-Cancer: A Fact Of Life.

Your doctor will have to decide that on the basis of the results of your test and the other information he has about you. The Health Letter I'm sending to you, however, will explain what kind of exercises should be used if you want to exercise and develop the fitness level of the heart itself. There are all kinds of exercises and the kind a person does should depend on what his goal is in relationship to his overall health status. If you want to develop your heart and lung capacity, then the endurance exercises such as running and jogging and competitive sports are useful provided you're healthy enough to do them. If you're interested in losing weight, then lighter exercises that you can sustain over a longer period of time such as walking may actually enable you to use more calories without endangering your health. Finally, if you want to develop muscles then you want to do w Save now or alorge NY 10019. The Health Letter I'm sending you will also explain cancer spread. A cancer literally drops off cells that are circulated to the rest of the body. Cancer of the colon, for example, may drop off cells that are carried and lodged in the liver. Breast cancer may have cancer cells that are shed into the lymphatic circulation and carried to lymph nodes under the arm. Circulation of blood and lymph explains most of the ways that cancer spreads throughout the body. A number of our major cancers can be prevented, such as cancer of the lungs associated with cigarette smoking. It's possible that a number of the cancers of the colon that you asked about can be prevented. On the bright side, a lot of cancers that are detected early enough can be cured. DEAR DR. LAMB - Would you please give me a few details on the advantage of having the stress test done? I'm 61 and have a rapid heartbeat frequently and it is also slow at other times. These conditions are both very noticeable to me and very frightening. Would it be wiser to find out the causes before the stress test or is this part of the diagnosis? I do have elevated pressure at times for which Assorted Keg JI4 V sp HJ colors ond styles m flannel lined wind beokers Sues Small to CLOCK RADIO M X LUGGAGE 8, test has been recommended in your case as part of the overall evaluation of how your heart functions and whether or not you have significant underlying heart disease. In some instances the stress test is very useful. It helps to determine whether a person's heart and vascular system is adequate for a person to begin a relatively active physical exercise program It also coroimproves the ability to diapose underlying an with disease electrocardiogram artery nary done during and immediately after the stress test I was careful to say improve because it's not perfect and people can have test results that look like do they have coronary artery disease when they coroof bit a have can And other not quite people nary artery disease and have a perfectly normal stress test Very few things in life are perfect so that shouldn't be too surprising. The stress test is a form of vigorous exercise to work the heart. It does under laboratory conditions what you might do if you were jogging on your own. The amount of exercise your body does determines how much oxygen you need. The more oxygen you need, the more blood usually has to be pumped to your working body muscles.

Warns Opponents (UPI) - Rural barbershops Dexter's bill maker Maine lawAUGUSTA, Maine on Ed putting wheels is still alive and he warns two opponents he will "style their hair with a chainsaw" if they persist in efforts to kill it. in Rep. Dexter, a Republican from Kingfield northwestern Maine, wants authorization for mobile barbershops, not presently licensed, because some people in his district must travel 75 miles for a haircut. The Senate leadership sought originally to kill the bill, but the House Wednesday adopted amendments limiting the mobile shops to towns not located near a stationary barbershop. "To those two great leaders in the other body who led the bipartisan effort to kill this bill, if they are ever in my neck of the woods, I will style their hair free of charge," Dexter said in a with a chainsaw House floor. the on speech "Smoke did not get into my eyes on this bill," he said. "The bare fact of the matter is there's going to be a lot of hair in the eyes of my constituents if this doesn't pass." The bill now goes back to the Senate where Maand D.
