Physicists and neurologists have been working together for some time to find an effective treatment for the disease, but until now the only alternative to drug therapy has involved applying a continuous electrical signal to the affected part of the brain. Now Peter Tass of the Institute of Medicine at the Research Centre Julich in Germany has used the methods of nonlinear dynamics to show that the disease could be treated by applying double pulses only occasionally to the brain (P Tass 2001 Europhys. Lett. 53 15). This would result in a less severe treatment of the disease.","PeriodicalId":73989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of Health","volume":"117 3 1","pages":"179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1088/2058-7058/14/3/6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60814159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In an article in your Journal last year, I gave the true definition of Aromatherapy, which must involve the odour of the oils but need not include massage in the therapeutic use. I also pointed out that the use of essential oils internally, as medicines on the continent, is conducted by medically qualified doctors and that encapsulated Peppermint oil is used for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and a mixture of encapsulated components are used for treating gallstones and ureteric stones, but these have obviously been tested and licenced as medicines. It seems that many aromatherapists with no medical qualifications and devoid of scientific qualifications are now dispensing treatments using essential oils and discussing this on the Internet. As a consequence there is a growing danger that a serious poisoning if not a fatality, will arise due to this dangerous practice and its perpetuation. This danger is illustrated by several paragraphs which appear in the book by Julia Goodwin entitled &dquo;Natural Babycare&dquo; (published by Ebury Press, 1997) where, for example, it is suggested that infantile colic can be relieved by adding 5-10 drops of chamomile oil three times a day to a little warmed water or milk. Depending on the drop size, the dose could be about 6ml per day, and if the baby has a low body weight, it could amount to a toxic dose (based on the LD50). Furthermore, there are at least three types of chamomile oils on the market, which are from different plants, yielding oils of completely different chemical composition; there is also frequent adulteration of essential oils with various solvents which have included","PeriodicalId":73989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of Health","volume":"118 2","pages":"126-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/146642409811800217","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20949444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has been argued that obesity is one of the most important preventable causes of ill health in the UK today. This is especially important when one considers that the incidence of obesity is actually rising, with 13% of men and 16% of women in the UK in 1997 being obese. To begin treating such a disease it is essential to raise awareness of this problem, not only from the associated morbidity and mortality risks that have been well documented, but the socio-economic and psychological costs.

This evidence is even more convincing because there is a dose response relationship between smoking and the risk of non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). Similarly, there is a time-dependent decrease in risk of NIDDM for those who quit smoking. Insulin resistance (in the form of impaired glucose tolerance, IGT) may precede the development of NIDDM. There is a biochemical basis for the smoking-IGT/NIDDM relationship. Smoking increases the risk of developing diabetic complications like nephropathy, neuropathy and retinopathy Smoking is also an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction and all-cause mortality in NIDDM. Smokers are both insulin resistant and lipid intolerant. Smoking cessation increases circulating high density lipoprotein (HDL) and reduces low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, despite weight gain. Those providing advice or treatment to improve cardiovascular risk factors should be aware of these smoking-related harmful effects. This is especially true if IGT is underdiagnosed despite the fact that this condition increases the risk of vascular events.
