MEDICINE CHEST by Janet Spencer

Come along with Tidbits as we peek at things found in the medicine chest! A HOME REMEDY • In the late 1800s, Lunsford Richardson bought a drugstore and started inventing home remedies. He was intrigued by a little-known drug from Japan called menthol. It made a nice balm, which he named Richardson’s Croup and Pneumonia Cure Salve. • Although he had over 20 different home remedies, none sold well. His son suggested they abandon all of their other products, which many other companies carried, and focus on the mentholated ointment, which was unique. • Richardson agreed, but first they needed a better name. Smith chose the last name of his brother-in-law because it was short, simple to spell, and easy to pronounce. The re-branded medicated salve was released in 1912. • In 1918 when the flu epidemic swept the country, sales soared from $900,000 to $2.9 million in just one year. People rubbed it on their chest and throat to ease congestion and used it on sore muscles to improve circulation. The product, now owned by Procter & Gamble, is still made today. What’s it called?

Answer: Vicks VapoRub. Use Vicks to get rid of toenail fungus and athlete’s foot. Rub on your temples to ease headache. Cover embedded ticks to kill them. Dab on mosquito bites to relieve itching. It helps dry acne and eases bruising. TOWNSEND R22 • Francis Townsend was a doctor living in Ocean City, Maryland in 1914. He was disturbed by how often tourists visiting his town would become sunburned on the beach, so he mixed up a healing salve containing camphor, menthol, and eucalyptus to help soothe their burned skin. He called it “Townsend R22.” He knew there was a market for the product beyond Ocean City, so he turned the formula over to Baltimore pharmacist George Bunting, who re-named the product “Dr. Bunting’s Sunburn Remedy” and packaged it in cobalt-blue glass jars. It was the first real alternative to the greasy medicated creams common at the time. • Women used it as a facial cleanser and a makeup remover. Still, George struggled to make a profit during the first few years of business, and did all of the work himself. He advertised relentlessly, especially on the radio, and by 1925 he was selling nearly a million jars annually. During World War II, soldiers received the product to help ease tired, overworked feet and soothe dry, chapped, or irritated skin, and after the war, they introduced their wives to the product. • George branched out and offered new products including shaving creams and medicated tissues. He changed the name of the product when a customer approached him and declared, “Your cream knocked my eczema!” The product is still a favorite face cream today. What’s it called?

Prune Fall Schedules to Gain Family Time Before heading home to Minnesota from our cabin in the California coastal mountains, I dropped by the Anderson family’s lively backyard on a Saturday morning to say goodbye. Between feeding chickens and harvesting veggies, I caught Josh, a dad with three daughters under 10, with pruning shears in his hands showing 8-year-old Selah how to trim small branches from their healthy lemon tree. “When we cut away this growth and dead branches, it creates space for more life, for more fruit to grow,” he explained to her. As prickly branches tumbled to the ground, he likened what he was doing to family life this fall. Just like pruning the tree, he told me that his wife and kids are aiming to pare down the things that keep them chronically busy and out of balance. “You have to have enough capacity to do what’s important,” he said. “There’s only so much time and energy for all five of us to absorb things into our schedule.” “But what do you do when you have tempting extras to tag on?” I asked. “We sit down together and determine the non-negotiables, whether that’s family dinners, game nights or going to church together. Even taking a family vacation. The process requires a lot of pruning, but we build our schedule around those. Is it family time or another sports practice? One thing is sure, we know sticking to the non-negotiable activities promotes a healthier family life,” he said. The lemon tree metaphor and lesson in pruning activities not only applies to young families but to all of us with kids in our lives. Dr. Laurie Bunnel, educator in the Seattle area and mom of two teens with one off to college, faces the overscheduled dilemma, too. “Many parents are trying to be time heroes, driven and sometimes proud to be able to pack everything that comes into their lives into a day. But we can’t do it all, even when we think we should. Focus on priorities that give your life a rhythm of working and resting,” she suggests. Maybe the start of this new fall season is a good time for you and your family to do a little lifestyle pruning. A family meeting to determine your non-negotiables is a good place to start. Keep thinking of those pruning shears, and cut activities that crowd out meaningful time with those things that matter most. Like that lemon tree, removing those cluttering branches provides more space for healthy living ... and growing.

Answer: Noxzema, short for “no eczema.” JOHN’S SHAMPOO • By the time John was 21, he was already going bald. It was 1898 and shampoo didn’t exist yet. People washed their hair with bar soap, which was harsh, or they used whatever they had on hand, including cornmeal, oils, eggs, lemon juice, or vinegar. Indoor plumbing was still a new invention. John was convinced his balding was due to the poor quality of soaps available. He was determined to find a shampoo that would save his hair. • So he went to college and got a degree in chemistry, and then spent the next ten years experimenting. He discovered that the problem with the soaps people used on their hair was that the pH balance was wrong. By 1930 he introduced pH-balanced shampoos formulated for both oily and dry hair, naming the product after himself. It was America’s very first shampoo. • When customers failed to flock to his product, John hired an artist to create beautiful fullcolor illustrations of ordinary women with extraordinarily shiny hair, placing the ads in large magazines. It worked. Alas, the shampoo did not keep John’s hair from falling out, but he became a very rich bald man. • In recent times, commercials for John’s shampoo launched the career of several famous models, including Brooke Shields, Kim Basinger, Christie Brinkley, Cheryl Tiegs, and Cybill Shepherd. What’s the name of John’s shampoo? Answer: Breck. • On Sept. 30, 1868, the first volume of Louisa May Alcott’s beloved children’s book “Little Women” is published. Alcott’s subsequent children’s fiction included “Little Men” (1871) and “Jo’s Boys” (1886). • On Oct. 1, 1908, the first production Model T Ford is completed. Between 1908 and 1927, Ford would build 15 million Model Ts. The cars were powered by a 22-horsepower, four-cylinder engine and could go as fast as 40 mph. • On Sept. 29, 1913, Rudolf Diesel, inventor of the engine that bears his name, disappears while traveling by steamship from Belgium to England. On Oct. 10, his body was found floating in the water. His death was judged a suicide, but many people believed Diesel was murdered. • On Sept. 26, 1928, work begins at Chicago’s new Galvin Manufacturing plant. Galvin would introduce the Motorola radio, the first mass-produced commercial car radio. The name had two parts: “motor” evoked cars and motion, while “ola” derived from “Victrola” and was supposed to make people think of music. • On Sept. 25, 1957, under escort from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division, nine black students enter all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Of the 517 black students in the district, 80 expressed interest and were interviewed by the school. Of the 17 chosen, nine decided to attend. • On Sept. 27, 1967, a French TV network begins to broadcast the first (and only) season of the American sitcom “My Mother, The Car.” The show’s premise was a man visits a used-car lot and finds a 1928 Porter convertible that is, somehow, the reincarnation of his dead mother. • On Sept. 28, 1972, weekly casualty figures for the Vietnam War contain no U.S. fatalities for the first time since March 1965. Losses remained high among South Vietnamese forces, which had taken over the fighting.

* It was American author and political activist Barbara Ehrenreich who made the following sage observation: “No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.” * Coke has the honor of being the first soft drink in space. Members of the Space Shuttle Challenger drank the beverage from a specially designed “Coca-Cola Space Can.” * Andrew Jackson, the seventh president of the United States, was one tough son of a gun. In his youth, his fighting prowess won him fame as a national hero for defeating the British at the Battle of New Orleans during the War of 1812 -- and he never slowed down, it seemed. At the age of 67, he was at a speaking engagement when a member of the audience pulled out a gun and tried to shoot him. When the gun misfired, President Jackson used his walking stick to beat his attacker almost senseless. * If you’re like the typical human, it takes your brain about 0.0004 seconds to retrieve any given memory. * Even in these modern days, certain maritime traditions hold on. For instance, when a new ship is launched for the first time, the water that first touches the ship is caught in a bottle. Once sealed, that bottle stays with the ship; it’s typically displayed in the captain’s office, near the bridge. * On a per-capita basis, residents of Mexico consume more carbonated drinks than people in any other country on Earth.

To Your Good Health By Keith Roach, M.D.

Mixed Signals on Heart Rhythms DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 75-year-old man who recently experienced three episodes of lightheadedness. After testing, my cardiologist determined that these were not likely to be cardiac in origin. My concern is with the result of my 24hour Holter monitor, which showed a little more than 1,000 isolated PVCs in 24 hours. I have been told that this is either “dire” or “not an issue.” I would appreciate your comments on this and any discussion of treatment for frequent PVCs. -- J.G. ANSWER: Normally in the heart, the electrical impulse starts at the sinoatrial node, often called the pacemaker of the heart. The impulse proceeds down clearly defined pathways (think of them as wires) to the atrioventricular node, where it waits for the mechanics of the heart to catch up with the electrical system. The electrical impulse then travels down the bundle of His to the Purkinje fibers, which stimulate the ventricle. Occasionally, in everybody, an electrical impulse will come from a different part of the heart before the normal SA impulse. If it comes from the atria, it is called a premature atrial contraction; and if it’s from the much larger ventricles, a premature ventricular contraction. These are clearly distinguishable on an EKG. A PAC is early and narrow (since the impulse will go through the AV node), while a PVC is early and wide (since it does not, and must travel cell to cell). My opinion is that frequent PVCs at your level is

SHAMPOO FACTS • The word shampoo comes from the Hindi word “champo” which means “to press or massage.” • Astronauts wash their hair with a no-rinse shampoo, the kind originally developed for hospital patients who can’t take showers. RELIEF FOR ROUGH SKIN • As a youth, Andrew earned a living as a lumberjack and woodworker. He knew how chapped, dry, and cracked a pair of hardworking hands could become. By the time he was 30, he had quite a large amount of money saved up, and he was also tired of being a lumberjack, so he invested his money in a soap-making firm run by Charles Geilfus in Cincinnati. They became partners in 1882, naming the firm the Andrews Soap Company. • They started out with a single soap-making vat which they took turns tending, but the company grew quickly. A coconut oil soap they developed was particularly effective in hard water. Because hard water was so prevalent, the soap became very popular and their fortunes grew. They bought more vats, and by 1901 they were successful enough to buy out the Robert Eastman Company, which produced perfumes, creams, and a lotion. The lotion, called “Benzoin and Almond Lotion Compound” was superior to any other lotion on the market. Andrew changed the name of the lotion, using his last name. • The company focused their advertising on women, just when women were beginning to prefer store-bought items over homemade. Following aggressive marketing in magazines, radio, and in-store displays, the lotion became the top-selling lotion in the U.S. The entire Andrews Soap Company was re-named for Andrew. Today it’s a leader in personal care products. What was Andrew’s last name? Answer: Jergens. FACT • Chemist Theron T. Pond invented a moisturizing cream in 1846, based on healing witch hazel. Pond’s creams were marketed as burn remedies until 1904, when they started being sold as “vanishing” beauty creams. somewhere between “not an issue” and “dire.” One study showed that people who had no known heart disease but more than 30 PVCs an hour (720 in 24 hours) have an increased risk of heart disease over people with fewer than 30 per hour. The overall increase in risk is not large in absolute terms, however. Although there is treatment that can reduce PVCs, it’s not clear that this reduces the risk of heart disease, and some treatments actually increase mortality risk. I recommend treatment for frequent PVCs only if there are very bothersome symptoms that are clearly related to the PVCs, or in the very infrequent event of someone with so many PVCs that the fast heart rate damages the heart. The booklet on abnormal heart rhythms explains the more common heart-rhythm disturbances in greater detail.

ROACH: What is Demodex of the eyelashes? Can it affect other parts of the body? Is it deadly? -- Anon. ANSWER: Demodex folliculorum is a mite, a small (0.1 mm) arthropod that lives on human skin in hair follicles. There is debate whether they cause disease, specifically inflammation of the eyelids. Most opinions I read suggest they do not. However, there are reports of eye symptoms in some people with more than usual amounts of Demodex, which can be treated with medication. In most people, Demodex is considered part of the normal flora, like the bacteria and fungi we carry around as well.

CORDYCEPS

• Some of the most horrifying and fascinating members of the plant kingdom are found in the genus of fungi called “Cordyceps,” sometimes called “zombie fungus.” The word cordyceps springs from the Greek meaning “club head” for the shape the fungus typically takes as it grows out of the body of its hijacked victim. There are hundreds of different species of Cordyceps, and each one infects a different insect. • One type infects a particular species of ant. It starts when the ant walks across some fungus spores. The spores latch on to the ant and cannot be dislodged. The spores use enzymes and pressure to bore a hole through the ant’s exoskeleton, providing access to the ant’s nutritious body parts as well as the brain. • After incubating for two weeks inside the ant’s body, the fungus is able to control the ant’s brain. It then forces the ant to crawl up to a tall tree near the anthill, latch onto the underside of a leaf with a death grip, and remain still. In this position of optimal humidity and temperature, the fungus consumes the ant’s body, killing it, while a club-shaped stalk erupts from the ant’s head. • After maturing for three weeks, spores are released that rain down upon the anthill below, continuing the cycle. In this way, the fungus is often able to wipe out entire colonies of ants. When healthy ants discover an infected ant, they will carry the doomed ant far from the nest in an effort to avoid this fate. The battle between fungus and insect prevents the insect population from getting out of control. • Fossils show that this parasitical relationship has been going on for at least 48 million years.

Which Flu Shot Is Right for You? It’s that time again ... flu season is on the way. Vaccines already are available in most locations, so we have no excuse not to get a flu shot soon. Sometimes the dilemma can be deciding which shot to get. Most flu vaccines contain protection from three strains of influenza, called trivalent vaccines. Those contain two A strains and one B strain of influenza. Some of them add coverage for a fourth strain. Those shots are called quadrivalent and contain two A and two B strains. With two Bs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn’t have to flip a coin to decide between two equal B vaccines; it can just include both. In addition, there are high-dose flu shots especially for seniors age 65 and older. As we age, our immune systems don’t respond the same way, and a regular flu shot might not get us the strong immune response we need to avoid the flu. The strains change every year, which is why most people need to “renew” their flu vaccine each year. The CDC tracks which influenza hits, and when, in making its calculations for the following year. For the 2016-2017 season, it calculated that those who received flu shots reduced their overall risk by 34 percent for A strains and 56 percent for B strains. Your best (safest) bet: Ask your doctor which flu shot you should get. Some of us under 65 shouldn’t have the high-dose shot for one medical reason or another. Don’t delay; it takes about two weeks to have immune coverage after receiving a shot. If you have Medicare Part B, the cost of the shot is covered, as well as the vaccine for pneumonia and hepatitis B.

Helping to Save Houston’s Pets DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I’m heartbroken over the ongoing disaster in south Texas and Louisiana, and especially for the thousands of pets being displaced and separated from their owners. It stirs up terrible memories of Hurricane Katrina and all the lost pets from that storm. Is there anything that we, who are in safe places, can do to help these pets and owners who have lost everything? -- Carol in Buffalo, New York DEAR CAROL: Twelve years ago, I wrote about the problems caused by Katrina’s flooding, including pets being displaced and sent to shelters across the country. There was a huge increase of diseases like heartworm in pets who were lost outdoors for many days. Since then, a lot has changed. Disaster planning now requires that pets be considered in cities’ evacuation plans. Shelters in hurricane-prone areas

have developed disaster plans that include ways to effectively manage an influx of hundreds of animals. Ahead of Harvey, many shelters in the evacuation zones transferred their adoptable occupants to other states to make room for rescued pets. Local shelters are networking more closely with each other, with national rescue groups and with the public (thanks in part to social media like Twitter) to coordinate transfer of animals to overflow shelters. For example, one shelter, Austin Pets Alive!, is taking in pets by the truckload and for several days has coordinated transfers, as well as calls for volunteers and supplies, via Twitter. You may be able to donate supplies directly to Texas shelters that need them (by ordering them on Amazon, for example) or by donating money to national rescue organizations like HSUS or the ASPCA.

CORDYCEPS (cont’d) • A particular species of Cordyceps will infect a particular species of ant. Experiments to try to infect ants with different strains of the fungus have failed, showing that the fungus and the ant co-evolved and cannot cross over. “It’s one of the most complex examples of parasites controlling animal behavior that we know about,” says entomologist David Hughes. • Some Cordyceps species are sources of biochemicals with interesting biological and pharmacological properties. Extracts are used as immuno-suppressants to prevent rejection in organ transplants, as well as to treat multiple sclerosis. Processed Cordyceps can also be found worldwide in liquid extracts, tinctures, powders, and capsules, with various claims for improving health. Other types of Cordyceps are used as food in soups, stews, and teas. • In China and Tibet, one species of fungus attacks the larvae of the ghost moth. Starting at the caterpillar’s head, the fungus grows into its body, eventually killing it, feeding off its carcass, and turning itself into an exact replica of the bug. This caterpillar fungus is used to make a tea reputed to have medicinal powers. It supposedly cures impotence, cancer, hair loss, and fatigue. In fact, when the Liaoning Province women’s track team broke the world record for both the 10,000 meters and the 1,500 meters in 1993, they were suspected of using performanceenhancing drugs. However, they claimed their performance was because of caterpillar fungus tea.
