UNIT RIGHT AND WRONG USES OF MODERN MEDICINES Some medicines sold in pharmacies or village store can be very useful Others are of no value Also, people sometimes use the best medicine in the wrong way, so that they more harm than good To be helpful, medicine must be used correctly Many people, including most doctors and health workers, prescribe far more medicines than are needed-and by so doing cause much needless sickness and death There is some danger in the use of any medicine Some medicines are much more dangerous than others Unfortunately, people sometimes use very dangerous medicines for mild sickness (I have seen a baby die because his mother gave him a dangerous medicine, chloramphenicol, for a cold) Never use a dangerous medicine for mild illness REMEMBER: MEDICINES CAN KILL Guidelines for the use of medicine: Use medicine only when necessary Know the correct use and precautions for any medicine you use (see the GREEN PAGE) Be sure to use the right dose If the medicine does not help, or causes problem, stop using it, When in doubt, seek the advice of a health worker Note: Some health workers and many doctors give medicines none is need, often because they think patients expect medicine and will not be satisfied unless they get some Tell your doctor or your health worker you only want medicine if it is definitely needed This will save your money and be safe for your health Only use medicine when you are sure it is needed and when you are sure how to use it THE MOST DANGEROUS MISUSE OF MEDICINE Here is a list of the most common and dangerous errors people make in using mordem medicines The improper use of the following medicines causes many deaths each year BE CAREFUL! Chloramphenicol (chloromycetin) The people use of this medicine for simple dirrhea and other mild sicknesses is extremly unfortunate, because it is so risky Use chloramphenicol only for very severe illness, typhoid Never give it to newborn infants Oxytocin (Pitocin), Pitutrin, and Ergonovine (Ergotrate) Unfortunately, some midwives use these medicines to speed up childbirth or give strength to the mother in labor This /3 practice is very dangerous It can kill the mother or the child Use these medicines only to control bleeding after the child is bom Injections of any medicine The common belief that injections are usually better than medicine taken by mouth is not true Many times medicines taken by mouth work as well as or better than injections Also, most medicine is moredangerous injected than when taken by mouth Use of injections should be very limited Penicilline Penicilline works only against certain types of injections Frequent use of penicilline for sprains, bruises, or any pain or fever is a great mistake As a general rule, injuries that not break the skin, even if they make large bruises, have no danger of injection; they not need to be treated with penicilline or any other antibiotic Penicilline is dangerous for some people Before using it, know its risks and the precautions you must take Injections of penicilline with streptomycin (There many brand name.) These medicines are used too much, and often for the wrong thing they should not be used for colds, for three reasons: They not work against colds and flu They can cause serious problems - sometimes deafness Their overuse makes it more difficult to cure tuberculosis or other serious illnesses Vitamin B12 and liver extract These medicines not help anemia or 'weakness1 except in rare cases Also, they have certain risks when injected They should only be used when a health worker has prescribed them after testing the blood In nearly every case of anemia, iron pills will more good Other vitamins As a general rule, DO NOT INJECT VITAMINS Injections are more dangerous, more expensive, and usually no more effective than pills Unfortunately, many people waster their money on syrups, tonics, and ’elixirs’ that contain vitamins Many lack the most important vitamins, but even when they contain them, it is wiser to buy more and better food Bodybuilding and protective foods like eggs, meat, fruit, vegetables, and whole grains are rich in vitamins and other nutrients Giving a thin weak person good food more often will usually help him far more than giving him vitamin and mineral supplements A person who eats well does not nedd extra vitamins THE BEST WAY TO GET VITAMINS A person who eats well does not need extra vitamins Calcium Injecting calcium into a vein can be extremely dangerous It can quickly kill someone if not injected very slowly Injecting calcium into the buttocks sometimes causes very serious abscesses or infections Never inject calcium without first seeking medical advice! Note: In Mexico and other countries where people eat a lot of com tortillas or other foods prepared with lime, it is foolish to use calcium injections or tonics (as is often done to 'give strength' or ’help children grow’) The body gets all the calcium it needs from the lime “Feeeding” through the veins (Instravenous or “T.V” solutions) In some areas, people who are anemic or very weak spend their last penny to have a liter of I.V solution put into their veins They believe that this will make them stronger or their blood richer But they are wrong! Intravenous solution is nothing more than pure water with some salt or sugar in it It gives less energy than a larger candy bar and makes the blood thinner, not richer It does not help anemia or make the weak stronger Also when a person who is not well trained puts the I.V solution into a vein, there is a danger of an infection entering the blood This can kill the sick person Intravenous solution should be used only when a person can take nothing by mouth, or when he is badly dehydrated If the sick person can swallow, give him a liter or water with a little sugar and salt It will as much for him as injecting a liter of I.V solution For similar reasons, persons who take ampicillin and other broad- spectrum antibiotics for several days may develop diarrhea Antibiotics may kill some kinds of bacteria nesessary for digestion, upsettting the natural balance of bacteria in the gut Resistance to treatment In the long run, the most important reason the use of antibiotics should be limited, is that WHEN ANTIBIOTICS ARE USED TOO MUCH, THEY BECOME LESS EFFECTIVE When attacked many times by the same antibiotic, bacteria become stronger and are no longer killed by it They become resistant to the antibiotic For reason, certain dangerous diseases like typhoid has becoming more difficult to treat than they were a few years ago In some places typhoi has become resistant to chloramphenicol, normally the best medicine for treating it Chloramphenicol has been used far too much for minor infections, infections for which other antibiotics would be safer and work as well, or for which no antibiotic at all is needed Throughout the world important diseases are becoming resistant to antibioticslargely because antibiotics are used too much for minor infections If antibiotics are continue to save lives, their use must be far more limited than it is at present This will depend on their wise use by doctors, health workers, and the people themselves For most minor infections antibiotics are not needed and should not be used Minor skin infections can usually be successfully treatted with soap and water, hot soaks, and perhaps painting them with gentian violet Minor respiratory infections are best treated by drinking lots of liquids, eating good food, and getting plenty of rest For most diarrheas, antibiotics are not necessary and may even be harmful What is most important is to drink lots of liquids and provide enough food as soon as the child wiil eat Do not use antibiotics for infections the body can fight successfully by itself Save them for when they are most needed I Comprehension questions: A Why are antibiotics useful and important, when used correctly? When you use an antibiotics? What are the guidelines for the use of all antibiotics? B What bacteria antibiotics often kill? What happens when bacteria are attacked many times by the same antibiotics? Why nowadays are importants disease becoming resistant to antibiotics?

Write the letter of the sentence at the right for the specially on the left The purpose of this exercise is to review the names of doctors See the example: Family Practice Doctors A They taske care of eyes Dentists B They care for children Obstetricians C They take care of pregnant woman and deliver babies Anesthesiologists D They use operations to help patients Surgeonz E They take care of people of all ages Ophthalmologists F They put people to sleep for operations Pediatricianshe G They take care of people on teeth 21 / UNIT NUTRITION: VITAMINS AND MINERALS Nutrition, specifically, vitamins and minerals play an important role in our life Unfortunately, there are still some common misconceptions about them Vitamins are known to the general public - in fact, the public knows more about them than it does about certain other key aspects of nutrition One reason for this is that vitamins have been in the public eye for a while — at least since the middle of the 20th century, when their importance first became widely recognized This awareness does mean that the public knows how important vitamins are - even if it doesn't mean that we all eat a healthy diet all the time However, a problem arises that is associated with this, which is the number of old wive’s tales about vitamins Usually these fallacies are not dangerous, but they lead to a necessarily high intake of vitamin supplements For example, it is widely held that high doses of vitamin C will cure colds and flu There is no evidence that any vitamin can cure anything, and the body can’t store vitamin C, so those tablets you take are just an expensive waste of time Another common belief with no evidence is the idea that vitamin A helps you see in the dark Actually, there is some truth in this one, because vitamin A is necessary for good vision But in the dark, in the real darkness, nobody can see And of course, taking too much vitamin A can actually be bad for you But perhaps the most misleading idea, heavily promoted by certain companies, is that vitamins will make you intelligent Now, while a healthy diet is essential if you are to make the most of your intelligence, there is no evidence whatsoever that vitamin supplements can make the slightest bit of difference So what can vitamins do? Or, perhaps more accurately, why we need them? The answer is that we need them for all sorts of reasons Vitamin A, for example, also called retinol, is essential for good eyesight, especially at night, and to help us fight off infection and illness We get it from liver, butter, egg yolks and milk Vitamin D, as is well known, is used to build strong teeth and bones, but it also helps us absorb calcium Vitamin D is mainly formed in the skin through the action of sunlight How much you need depends on different factors such as age and health Vitamin H, tocopherol, is less well-known, but is necessary in maintaining a healthy balance of fats in the body We need 10-12 mg every day, and although some people take supplements, you can normally get what you need from a balanced diet The B complex includes vitamin Bl, thiamine, B2, riboflavine, B6, pyridoxine and B12, cyanocobalamin It performs many functions, including allowing our bodies to metabolise carbohydrates, forming healthy tissue, and perhaps most importantly, 22 / forming red blood cells to prevent pernicious anemia We need vaiying amounts of the B complex, and while most of us can get enough from a well-balanced diet, vegetarians may find themselves deficient in B12, which is only found in any noticeable quantity in meat, especially liver Finally, vitamin C is the one everyone knows Ascorbic acid, as it is also known, helps fight infection, which perhaps accounts for the myth about preventing colds It also helps protect against scurvy We need 30 mg a day, and can only really get this a mount from eating plenty of citrus fruit and fresh vegetables EXERCISES I Complete each sentence with no more than three words: The public has more knowledge of vitamins than other parts The public doesn’t always eat There is a widespread belief that vitamin C can Vitamin A helps you see Many people wrongly think that taking vitamin supplements can Vitamin A helps the body have good vision, infection, Vitamin D helps the body from healthy bone and We need mg of vitamin E every day B complex helps the body metabolise carbohydrates from healthy tissue and 10 We can get vitamin C from II True or false: The importance of vitamins was widely recomized long time ago A balanced diet can provide you with important vitamins You will be intelligent if you take vitamins Vitamin can cure any disease Pernicious anemia can be prevented by taking B complex Eating a lot of citrus fruits and fresh vegetables can give you the needed mount of vitamins III Fill in the blank with one word: Vitamins are important (1) our health, taking too much vitamin can (2) be bad for us We need vitamins for different reasons Vitamin A is essential for good eyesight, fighting .(3) infection and illness Vitamin D helps us (4) strong teeth and bones and (5) calcium Vitamin E is necessary for (6) fats in the body B complex performs the (7) of metabolizing Vitamin C is known to fight infection and to protect (8) scurvy / IV Sentence building: There / no evidence / vitamin A / help / see in the dark// Why / need / vitamin// How much / vitamin D / need /depend / different factors// We / normally / get / needed vitamins / balanced diet// B12 / only be found / meat / liver// 24 ...
