Need a cure for
everything?
A full-page ad in the
September issue of The
Tulsa World caught my
eye. With a large picture
of a beautiful lady stroking
a lovable dog, it asserted:
"New medicine based on
an 88-year old theory by
Albert Einstein can help
almost everyone who is
sick or injured! To help
almost• every health prob-
lem ever experienced by
a human being! It works
so well on so many dif-
ferent problems, it seems
like it couldn't possibly be
true!" Well... I'll buy that
last part.
That's quite a claim. It
goes beyond the countless
ads that offer cures for
endless physical ailments
that might come upon us,
all of which have been
given fearful sounding
names and abbreviations.
These ads are designed to
scare the daylights out of us
and seduce us into buying
their products, even if
we don't need them yet.
We are regularly treated
to visions of having to
deal with such horrible
things as: ADD, ADHD,
PAH, STD, HIV, RA,
AD, MAD, MAED, MS,
DDTHA, AMD, GERD,
PLEVA, IBS, MRSA,
Mesothelioma, Meniere's
syndrome, Crone's disease,
Hypoglyclmia, Tourett's
Syndrome, Achalasia,
Batonella henselae, Hun-
tington disease, Lupus,
Salmonila, bi-polar condi-
tion, Neuropathy, Psoria-
sis, Lyme disease, Rocky
Mountain fever, ehrichio-
sis, hemorrhoids, shingles,
skin tags, constipation,
diarrhea, jock itch, hiccups,
and post nasal drip.
None of these dastardly
ailments are to be sneezed
at. I've experienced some
of them myself, and it was
not fun, but we shouldn't
be scared out. of our wits
by ads that cause us to
miss sleep at night wor-
rying about whether we
might be attacked by some
of them. If you have a uri-
nary infection, you know it.
If not, don't worry about it,
and don't let advertisers try
to take advantage of those
fears.
It is reported that an
inquisitive high school
student made up a peti-
tion and got thousands of
people to sign it demanding
the government stop all use
of the chemical dihydrogen
monoxide. The petition
correctly stated all of these
terrible things this chemical
can do. It can cause exces-
sive sweating and vomiting.
It is a major component of
acid rain. In its gaseous
state, it can cause terrible
burns. Accidental inhala-
tion of it can kill you. It
contributes to erosion. It
decreases effectiveness of
automobile brakes. It has
been found in the tumors of
terminal cancer patients.
The student got 86% of
the people he approached
to sign his petition. Only
one recognized that this
terrible chemical was ...
water. How about that?
Now, if you happen to be
one of those compulsive
hypochondriacs, you might
like to call in for that cure-
all treatment mentioned
above. It takes all kinds.
