LATEST UPDATES ON BREAD AND
BUTTER CLERICS PLUS STRESS MANAGEMENT
BREAD AND BUTTER CLERICS IN
DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Are Parading As Indigenous Priests Whereas They Are Foreign Stooges
There has been a retinue of charlatans in every profession in the world since the agricultural perspectives that Cain, the farmer and Abel, the shepherd introduced to the rest of humanity if the biblical legends and/or religious fables are worth their whiles! What is indigenous in a half-baked cleric who does not realise that he is only a pawn in the chessboard of Roman Sacredotal Nationals that have dominated the scene in Christendom since the Constantinian misadventure of bastardising the true ‘Good News of the Lord Jesus’ with the Mithranism era of Roman idolatry? For 500 years the baton of Papacy had always been handed over to only Roman citizens until lately, when Pope John Paul I was poisoned to death by fellow cardinals contesting for the throne of the Roman Catholic Papacy! Pope John Paul II surfaced as a belated consensus candidate. To date the reconciliatory position of the late Pope has not been accepted by hardcore Roman Theologians who see the throne as their birthright! When can other nations produce Popes as in past centuries? Was Jesus a native of Rome? Why has the Papacy continued to operate from Rome, whereas the birthplace of Jesus was/is Nazareth or Bethlehem? Why Muslims go to Mecca and Medina is obvious! When, therefore, shall Christians all over the world, especially Roman Catholics, become as reasonable as Muslims?
Take a cue from the Roman Catholic Priests of African descent who, to date , do not realise that the elite members of their congregations see them merely as the ‘Matthews’ and ‘Zaccheaeus’ of our times. To date, without being conscious of their neo-colonial roles in destroying our authentic cultural heritage; they are the errand boys of Roman Christian Imperialism and gradually events they stage-manage in the name of the Papacy reveal they are nothing but saboteurs in the overall panoroma of genuine religiosity in the land of our birth!The desecration of our ancient taboos (nso ala) and bastardisation of the authentic norms and mores of our pristine holy ancestors is the remote cause of religious apathy among the politicians and youths of today! Some of our ‘been-to’ clerics revel in the moral decadence they learnt at the various European countries they are sent to study and only return to corrupt the few upright clerics who they consider naive and inexperienced because they hold on to the sacred vows they took at their ordinations! These nonchallant ‘tax collectors’ or AMC for Roman Theologians and their Religious Imperialists should be halted. It is better we have a few priests who can sanctify our parishes than a long retinue of Satan’s disciples hiding under the cloak of Roman Catholic Clergy while leading the whole congregation to hell. The time to call a spade by its real name is now! I am only blowing the whistle early enough so that our lovely children and generations yet unborn will not end up as demons in hellfire, if what we are brainwashed to believe as doctrines and dogmas really exist!

DO YOU WANT EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS
TO THE REAL REASON POPE BENEDICT RESIGNED?

Dear Amanpour,
I have been your fan for a decade now. Your coverage of the Desert Storm spotlighted your courage and prowess in battle fields and naturally as a retired Commando Officer and a Flight Lieutenant, those herculean jobs you did very creditably endeared you to my admiration.
I am not a public figure by any nuances of the terminology, but if you really want a million dollar scoop on the main reason the last Pope stepped aside, I will give it, but not for free.
Below are just a few excerpts from the ultimate article that he meditated on for three months before he made up his mind to RESIGN HONOURABLY.
"There has been a retinue of charlatans in every profession in the world since the agricultural perspectives that Cain, the farmer and Abel, the shepherd introduced to the rest of humanity if the biblical legends and/or religious fables are worth their whiles!

I usually write in Queen's English, what You who live in America prefer to label 'English UK' AND I AM HAPPY TO NOTE FOR THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU’RE A BRITISH CITIZEN BY BIRTH AND MARRIAGE.
FOREWORD TO THE CONTROVERSIAL BOOKLET THE POPE READ OVER AND OVER AGAIN
CLERICAL CELIBACY HAS OUT-LIVED ITS USEFULNESS
There was a time when Catholic Reverend Fathers and Reverend Sisters on missionary services in this country were really admired, respected and idolised! That was in my teens when the Late Bishop Shanahan was still an ordinary priest! Rev. Fr. Bindel was the Parish Priest of Ihiala, then a very large area extending as far away as Emekuku, Orlu and Oguta! They rode long distances on Hercules bicycles carrying out their evangelistic duties. They trekked most of the time and made converts by using the very few semi-literate natives as their interpreters!
These interpreters were later promoted to Catechists and soon wielded much power! They taught pagans catechism classes in the vernacular language and only those they certified as having passed their examinations were baptised. They stood between every catechumen and the sacraments of baptism, confession, confirmation, matrimony and even the irregular reception of the Holy Eucharist! You could neither see any Rev. Fr. nor receive any of these sacraments without greasing their palms! No girls or women ever came close to the parish houses, not to mention having handshakes with any priest!
The Rev. Sisters wore sparkling ankle-length white gowns and their head-gear with a tall hood and overflowing veils covered every part of their heads except for just the outline of their faces. I never saw their ears! To us little urchins at the turn of the century, they were angels. After all the pictures in our catechism classes were made of white skins. They were all white women. We never dreamt that we would, in later years, have our own black sisters and daughters qualified to become Rev. Sisters. No one ever imagined that a black skinned woman could ever be dressed like these white angels. These angels were our earliest teachers, nurses, midwives and doctors. They ran the few mission schools and hospitals that were then in existence at Ihiala and Emekuku. We adored and loved them for their motherly care but, at the same time, we hated their injection needles!
We were told that both the priests and nuns were virgins. It was even rumoured that they had no sexual parts to their bodies. They were ‘castrated’ was the naïve belief that made the rumour rounds then! We assumed that the nuns had neither breasts nor large buttocks like our mothers and aunts! How were we to find out? The priests were covered all over with their flowing white soutanes that they never put off in our presence. “Did they ever urinate or defecate?” we wondered! I never saw any of them in short knickers although I was a mass server for several years at St Martin’s Parish, Odo-ata Ihiala, now in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State. In addition, we never saw the ears, necks and feet of the nuns. During clinical attendance they wore gloves, so we were partially denied seeing their hands and fingers. “Did these ladies know how to cook?” we pondered!
That the priests were chaste and the nuns, virgins, were assumed! We never saw the priests and nuns chat together, hug each other or stroll along any road side by side. They were discreet and circumspect. They were conscious of their vows of celibacy and public image knowing that they were continuously being watched day and night. So, they never scandalised us nor gave us the chance to suspect them! That was in the early 1930s and 1940s. We gradually began to notice that many nuns went on leaves that were termed “annual” and understood why some others that lasted beyond twelve months were termed “sudden”, “casual” or “sick.” Soon, our own sons and daughters were admitted into seminaries and convents. By the 1950s, some were ordained and professed respectively. This first set never scandalised us! We never suspected that they could lower the standards set by these missionary white angels! That was before the Nigeria-Biafra civil war that lasted from 1967 to 1970. The wind blew strongly so the hen’s anus was clearly seen by all!
All that changed as the scales fell off our eyes. Our religious blinkers were forcibly removed by what we saw during the civil war at the few Caritas Feeding Centres that we naturally located within the parish premises. We saw a lot. Some printable, others not whisper-able! Promiscuity was the mildest term for describing what the refugee women described as own contributions to the war effort! Our clergymen and women were the butt of their sexual exploits as relief items like stockfish, egg-yolk and milk were exchanged for amorous relationships. Some wore the glamorous foreign dresses donated by CARITAS & WCC that were meant for homeless refugees that left their wardrobes behind!
“Have they also eaten the forbidden fruit” was the mildest joke about what we knew was happening at our local parishes. There was a conspiracy of silence by all the culprits!
THE OPTIONS I GAVE THE PAPACY TO REDEEM ITS IMAGE
“If clerical celibacy has out-lived its usefulness, what is the need of clinging tenaciously to it? This is an absurdity on the part of the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy”. In medical language, it is giving a wrong diagnosis while a sick patient is in a comatose state! Alternatively, shall we take it that the Church Fathers support the numerous sex scandals rocking the boat? Or, has it become so insensitive to the evidence of cases of paedophilia in USA, of lesbian and homosexual relationships reported in the mass media and so many incidences of promiscuity in other parts of the globe and that warrants our “separated brethren” laughing us to scorn? Why has the Pope and the Cardinals turned their eyes the other way? Are they neck deep in these scandals themselves? Probably it is a case of those living in glass houses not throwing stones at each other? They are blind pastors leading the faithful!
Our Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, had prophesied about them when he compared them to the religious leaders of his time. He reiterated that they were hypocrites that devoured the homes of widows. He labelled them, “white sepulchres, which on the outside looked clean but were rotten and decaying on the inside.” Anyone who deceptively takes a vow of celibacy and deliberately violates it regularly without any pricks of the conscience is a demon and definitely a disciple of Satan! That is why we refer to them as ‘Postgraduates of Satan’s University.’ They are candidates for hellfire and they will lead as many of us as they can to the same place. They are only working for their master, Lucifer! Listen to what Jesus Christ said about such hypocrites who take false vows in the New Testament account of Matthew’s Gospel, Chapter 23, vv. 25 - 28:
“How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You clean the outside of your cup and plate, while the inside is full of what you have obtained by violence and selfishness. Blind Pharisee! Clean what is inside the cup first, and then the outside will be clean too! “How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look fine on the outside but are full of bones and decaying corpses on the inside. In the same way, on the outside you appear good to everybody, but on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and sins.”
My dear false clerics; does anyone need an interpretation for those simple statements of facts? What does a tomb covered with tiles look like theses days? Sparkling White! Suppose you dig up the contents after three months of burying a human corpse in it, what will you find inside? Dry bones, the skull, nails, hairs, the teeth and may be some decaying flesh!
THE ULTIMATUM POPE RESPONDED TO
CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER
There are many clerics and nuns, otherwise referred to as Rev. Fathers and Rev. Sisters, including those that have been elevated to Monsignors, Mother Generals, Bishops, Archbishops and Cardinals in the Roman Catholic hierarchy that should summon courage and leave gracefully before the youths of our Global Village forcibly remove them from their pecuniary, parasitic, sycophantic and adulterous lifestyles. There are no jobs in the labour market worldwide and so those who successfully pretended to have had vocations all through their training periods till they are ordained celebrate their evil success and then they continue to live false lives with impunity!
No one spits out sugar when it has already entered the mouth! Free housing, free cars, free televisions, free dresses, free toiletries as well as free food, free sex e.t.c.
These crafty tortoises in our native stories! They think they are smart! WHY?
THEY ARE ALL AFRAID OF LOSING THEIR FREE BREAD AND BUTTER!

This ex-seminarian capped ‘Rt. Rev. Bishop Echipu’ at the Diamond Jubilee of All Hallows Seminary, Onitsha is begging clerics to resign honourably than staying put and scandalising the youths in our parishes and other youth fellowships worldwide!

More details when you find time for the full scoop on the diatribes I penned that convinced Pope Benedict to throw in the towel. If you do not need it, just keep mute for 48 hours only and then you will hear it on BBC, the original station I had wanted to send it.

I AM DEEPLY SORRY THAT MY ERROR MARGIN WAS TOO HIGH, HERE IS A CORRECTED SCRIPT

My own famous International journalist,
Sorry, I was carried away by sending you an e-mail that got the better of me, and in my enthusiasm I allowed my error margin to exceed 5 - 7. Please, forgive this 65-year old.
Again, you may think those I sent copies to are too many and that in itself had undermined the exclusiveness of the item, WRONG, for these are only members of my nuclear family who I like to keep track of what their careless daddy does all the time, in case I may need legal counsel.
Thirdly, I failed to let you know who this writer is. Please just type into Google Search either of my names and be overwhelmed with the scientific papers, dissertations and diatribes, this reticent fellow has stacked at different Google blogspots and websites. You may also read:http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dr-j-kenechukwu-danmbaezue/51/393/591
Finally, if you are good in the game of SCRABBLE, permutations in investigative literary styles or proficient in resolving anagrams, you will unravel this and so get at the secret article I penned that convinced Pope Benedict to throw in his towel;
"CELIBACY HAS OUT-LIVED ITS USEFULNESS, DEVELOPING COUNTRIES CLERICS AFRAID TO LOSE THEIR BUTTER AND BREAD. DEMONISED ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY WORLDWIDE. GRADUATES OF SATAN'S UNIVERSITY.
Enjoy this appetiser, may be it will solve the puzzle for you!

POSTSCRIPT ON Saturday, 23 March 2013 @ 2307HRS GMT:
Some investigative journalists and historians are already confirming what I revealed to you on video clips regarding the evil super-brats a.k.a Jesuits
LISTEN TO AND ANALYSE VIDEO CLIPS@: http://youtu.be/ukSGV1MegQA
Yours sincerely: Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, Animator International of I S M.
THE PAPACY HAS LEFT THE ITALIAN NATION BUT IT HAS NOT LEFT ITALIAN SOIL
The Jesuits have only flown a kite but they cannot deceive wily students/keen observers like me!
My dear Amanpour,
This is another exclusive you may want to explore. I had been a candidate for the Jesuit Priesthood in 1973 to 1974 when I dumped the Diocesan Clergy of Enugu in Nigeria. I was then a Psychology Major at the University of Lagos. I admired our Sociology Lecturer who was Fr J. Sychuler, SJ and served at his masses for Catholic students. I was the ‘de facto’ CATECHIST & CHIEF SACRISTAN. The romance ended when I realised they were the secret power brokers of the Roman Catholic Mission worldwide and operated like the Italian Mafia.
NOW READ WHAT I POSTED ON MY GOOGLE BLOGSPOT THAT MADE THEM COME OUT IN THE OPEN AND PUSH POPE FRANCIS FORWARD THIS TIME. I FORCED THEM TO COME OUT FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND CLAIM THE PAPACY.

Analyse the contents of my concealed diatribe therein and may be now you will take me more seriously. Also watch these videos and read these articles and see that an Italian Jesuit by birth is still the Pope, while the whole world is deceived that the Papacy has left Rome.

CLERICAL CELIBACY HAS OUT-LIVED ITS USEFULNESS

This ex-seminarian capped ‘Rt. Rev. Bishop Echipu’ at the Diamond Jubilee of All Hallows Seminary, Onitsha is begging clerics to resign honourably than staying put and scandalising the youths in our parishes and other youth fellowships worldwide!
I am using my Gmail account to exclude scammers as the rate of cyber crime is high in this God-forsaken corrupt Nigeria. My Yahoo-mail Account reads; saintkenez@yahoo.co.uk
More details when you find time for the full scoop on the diatribes I penned that convinced Pope Benedict to throw in the towel. If you do not need it, just keep mute for 48 hours only and then you will hear it on BBC, the original station I had wanted to send it.

I AM DEEPLY SORRY THAT MY ERROR MARGIN WAS TOO HIGH, HERE IS A CORRECTED SCRIPT

My own famous International journalist,
Sorry, I was carried away by sending you an e-mail that got the better of me, and in my enthusiasm I allowed my error margin to exceed 5 - 7. Please, forgive this 65-year old.
Again, you may think those I sent copies to are too many and that in itself had undermined the exclusiveness of the item, WRONG, for these are only members of my nuclear family who I like to keep track of what their careless daddy does all the time, in case I may need legal counsel.
Thirdly, I failed to let you know who this writer is. Please just type into Google Search either of my names and be overwhelmed with the scientific papers, dissertations and diatribes, this reticent fellow has stacked at different Google blogspots and websites. You may also read:http://www.linkedin.com/pub/dr-j-kenechukwu-danmbaezue/51/393/591
Finally, if you are good in the game of SCRABBLE, permutations in investigative literary styles or proficient in resolving anagrams, you will unravel this and so get at the secret article I penned that convinced Pope Benedict to throw in his towel;
"CELIBACY HAS OUT-LIVED ITS USEFULNESS, DEVELOPING COUNTRIES CLERICS AFRAID TO LOSE THEIR BUTTER AND BREAD. DEMONISED ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY WORLDWIDE. GRADUATES OF SATAN'S UNIVERSITY.
Enjoy this appetiser, may be it will solve the puzzle for you!

POSTSCRIPT ON Saturday, 23 March 2013 @ 2307HRS GMT:
Some investigative journalists and historians are already confirming what I revealed to you on video clips regarding the evil super-brats a.k.a Jesuits
LISTEN TO AND ANALYSE VIDEO CLIPS@: http://youtu.be/ukSGV1MegQA
Yours sincerely: Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, Animator International of I S M.
THE PAPACY HAS LEFT THE ITALIAN NATION BUT IT HAS NOT LEFT ITALIAN SOIL
The Jesuits have only flown a kite but they cannot deceive wily students/keen observers like me!
My dear Amanpour,
This is another exclusive you may want to explore. I had been a candidate for the Jesuit Priesthood in 1973 to 1974 when I dumped the Diocesan Clergy of Enugu in Nigeria. I was then a Psychology Major at the University of Lagos. I admired our Sociology Lecturer who was Fr J. Sychuler, SJ and served at his masses for Catholic students. I was the ‘de facto’ CATECHIST & CHIEF SACRISTAN. The romance ended when I realised they were the secret power brokers of the Roman Catholic Mission worldwide and operated like the Italian Mafia.
NOW READ WHAT I POSTED ON MY GOOGLE BLOGSPOT THAT MADE THEM COME OUT IN THE OPEN AND PUSH POPE FRANCIS FORWARD THIS TIME. I FORCED THEM TO COME OUT FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND CLAIM THE PAPACY.
http://renascenti.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=2
Analyse the contents of my concealed diatribe therein and may be now you will take me more seriously. Also watch these videos and read these articles and see that an Italian Jesuit by birth is still the Pope, while the whole world is deceived that the Papacy has left Rome.

DESIGN OF THE BACK COVER
The material in this book is meant only for mature minds who want to see a better society where their descendants are not fooled nor scandalised by religious leaders with questionable credentials, low moral standards or worse still, psychopathological traits bordering on inadequate psychosexual development.
We are living in an age where heterosexual promiscuity, hype- homosexuality, nymphomania and paedophilia have become rampant among fraudsters parading as religious men and women who claim to be celibates. Protect your offspring from these disciples of Satan adorned in white cassocks, gowns and veils. All that glitter is not gold! If you are naïve enough to leave your fathering or mothering duties today, do not blame anybody tomorrow when your kids are initiated into secret cults or the sexual perversions of homosexualism and lesbianism.
• Celibacy must be made optional, with priests allowed renewing their choice after the first three years of their ordination. They should be free like Rev. Srs. to marry if they have fallen in love with someone they feel can assist them live a happily married life and lead an exemplary Christian life!
• Only those who are resolute in their virginity can aspire to becoming full-
time Parish Priests, with the prospect of becoming Papal Chamberlains
at the tenth year of their ordination! They have the option of voluntarily
undergoing vasectomy to confirm their perpetual loyalty to the Church!
• A broad-based Diocesan Commission of both the laity and the clergy can interview and appoint some of the married priests as reliable vicars in their home parishes. However, they will find their own accommodation and cater for their families, as they will be paid salaries and sick-call allowances!

The Internet is saturated with pornographic materials not good for growing minds, but this can be monitored and satisfactorily censored by responsible parents. However, that innocent looking priest, pastor, brother or sister you trust, can do more damage to your child’s morality, because you will least suspect them! Read this book, reflect on its genuine concerns and join us in providing an insurance cover for the normal personality development of your lovely children.
Sex scandals are rocking Christendom now!
THE GOSPEL TRUTH ABOUT THIS BOOK
Our sons and daughters are trapped and only you and I can rescue them! The good ones among them want to quit but are timid and afraid of what people who sponsored them would say! Let us join hands and liberate them now! Some former classmates of mine, who are honest but feel trapped in this buffoonery and deceit, engineered this publication. We have outlined options that the Papacy can adopt to save our souls! The future of the Holy, Apostolic and Catholic Church is the ‘raison d’être’ of this publication. No other motivation propelled the association. The Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator of us all was, is and will ever remain the team leader of this effort!
WE OWE THEM THIS GOOD TURN! THEY CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES. HOWEVER, YOU CAN!

THE CURRENT ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH PRACTISED ALL OVER THE WORLD IS ROMAN MITHRANISM DRESSED UP AS PAULINE CHRISTIANITY!
Jesus was deified by Roman Emperor Constantine to marry a Christian girl he fell in love with and Saul as the guardian of the damsel demanded that he must first convert to his brand of Christianity to achieve his desire. Thus Roman Paganism mixed with Mithraism the Greek religion they had before the arrival of Saul of Tarsus produced the adulterated Pauline version with all the personality attributes of Mithra god, all the liturgical celebrations and feasts of the ‘sun-god’ hoisted on Jesus of Nazareth, rebranded and patented in Rome as ‘god-the-son’ and later exported to the whole world as Roman Catholic mission! Saul of Tarsus never met Jesus alive and so was neither a disciple of Jesus nor one of his chosen/trained apostles. Neither Peter, the head of the apostles; James nor John his deputies were/was involved in the notorious Council of Nicea that ratified its formation and therefore it was/is a heretical counterfeit that was unauthorised, unedifying, psychoneurotical, illegal and a complete forgery! It still is to date!!
Beware and Be Forearmed that As Post Graduates Of Satan’s University, The Clerics In Vatican City Will Often Claim Originality For Innovative Thoughts, Any Initiative And Every Thing Others Introduce For The Progress Of Their Romanticised Christianity!

It is better to do the natural thing within the accepted life of a sacramental marriage than to voluntarily hand over your soul to the devil and scandalised so many boys and girls who look up to you as a role model. What homilies can a priest preach to the very women that he has gone to bed with?
On the other hand, what powers has such a fornicator inside the confessional? Will his accomplices in such absurd sexual immorality ever come to him for confessions? In addition, when they do come, will he continue to mediate the penitential rites properly according to the mind of the Church? Remember Lord’s recommendation; ‘it were better that a millstone be hung around your neck and that you are thrown into the sea, than for you to deceive and scandalise the youth and by so doing lead them to hellfire.
OUR CONCLUDING RECOMMENDATIONS
• Celibacy must be made optional, with priests allowed renewing their choice after the first three years of their ordination. They should be free like Rev. Srs. to marry if they have fallen in love with someone they feel can assist them live a happily married life and lead an exemplary Christian life!
• Only those who are resolute in their virginity can aspire to becoming full-
time Parish Priests, with the prospect of becoming Papal Chamberlains
at the tenth year of their ordination! They have the option of voluntarily
undergoing vasectomy to confirm their perpetual loyalty to the Church!
• A broad-based Diocesan Commission of both the laity and the clergy can interview and appoint some of the married priests as reliable vicars in their home parishes. However, they will find their own accommodation and cater for their families, as they will be paid salaries and sick-call allowances!
Postscript:
Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez, an exemplary ex-seminarian since the 1970s, is a stoic of the first class genre, a moral crusader of no mean order; a war battered veteran of the Degema Strike Force in 12th Commando Brigade of Biafra (1968 -1970) as well as a retired Nigerian Air Force Officer (1975 -1979)! Therefore, he speaks his mind and so, he owes no one any apologies for his strong views in this crusade to sanitise the Catholic Church in particular, and other churches in general!

ALTRUISM IS NEXT TO SELF
FULFILLMENT AND HAPPINESS FOR ALL
I S M IS A PRACTICAL FELLOWSHIP FOR NATURAL SCIENTISTS
PRACTICUM 001
A group of 50 people with name tags attended an ISM seminar that our Animator International, Dr Jideofo Kenechukwu Danmbaezue chaired.
• After pleasantries the Guest Speaker started giving each one a balloon and asked each attendee to write his/her name on it using marker pens he provided.
• Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
• Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name on it, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
• At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
• Then, the Seminar Speaker now asked each one to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.
• Within minutes everyone had his or her own balloon.
• Thereafter, the speaker began his talk by saying the following;
• Exactly this is what is happening in our individual lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own. And this is the purpose of human life.
• Sharing what you have especially knowledge, love and time with others is the beginning of ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR, ONE CREATED UNIVERSE, ONE HUMAN FAMILY

YOUR VALUE IN THE EYES OF THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR THAT WE WORSHIP IS GOLDEN AND PRICELESS FOR WE ARE HIS HEIRS.
“A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked,
• "Who would like this $20 bill?" All hands started going up.
• He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this”. He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
• He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?"
• And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty.
• "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
• "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20.
• Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled and grounded into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value in God's eyes. To Him, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to Him.”

PRACTICUM 001
A group of 50 people with name tags attended an ISM seminar that our Animator International, Dr Jideofo Kenechukwu Danmbaezue chaired.
• After pleasantries the Guest Speaker started giving each one a balloon and asked each attendee to write his/her name on it using marker pens he provided.
• Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
• Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name on it, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter chaos.
• At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
• Then, the Seminar Speaker now asked each one to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it.
• Within minutes everyone had his or her own balloon.
• Thereafter, the speaker began his talk by saying the following;
• Exactly this is what is happening in our individual lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own. And this is the purpose of human life.
• Sharing what you have especially knowledge, love and time with others is the beginning of ONE ALMIGHTY CREATOR, ONE CREATED UNIVERSE, ONE HUMAN FAMILY

“When two people are
angry at each other, there is a distance in their hearts psychologically. To
cover the distance, they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier
they are, the louder they will shout to hear each other through that great
distance.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TWO PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE??
Then the Professor asked,
“What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly. Why? Because their hearts are psychologically close. The distance between them is very small.”
“When they love each other even more, what happens? They don't speak, they only whisper and they even get closer to each other in their love. Finally, they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that's all.”
He concluded. He was applauded, receiving a standing ovation.”
Then Professor Kenez, the Guest of Honour expertly concurred by adding;
“It is their souls that chose their social relationship in the first place, and then they hear their heart beats rhyme as their love increases and finally the loving souls merge as one needing neither distance nor physical communication.
• That’s why more often than not, love making is silent, and don’t you agree with me. Even among lower animals like dogs that we see often,
THIS IS THE BEST FOR A HEALTHY, SUCCESSFUL AND HAPPY MARRIED LIFE, SO LEARN IT NOW GRADUALLY AS YOU INTERACT IN YOUR YOUTH OR REGRET IT FOR EVER. SO NEXT TIME YOU SHOUT AT A LOVED ONE, KNOW THAT YOU ARE CREATING A DISTANCE BETWEEN YOUR HEART AND THEIR HEART.

THE ILLOGICAL ISSUE THAT
PORTRAYS THE WHOLE BIBLE AS A COLLECTION OF FABLES AND LEGENDS OF AN
ETHNOCENTRIC SUBGROUP THAT MUST BE RESOLVED BEFORE A GLOBAL PEACE CAN BE
ENTHRONED IN OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE
“Prophet Moses and Prophet Mohammed separately fetched firewood infested with ants and maggots and so forever must entertain uninvited visits from lizards. I need convincing answers to in this final dissertation on some of the numerous absurdities propagated by the ancient religious leaders that caused wars”.
1. From the beginning of creation every narrative was universal and applicable to the direct descendants of Adam and Eve. There were no discriminations till Noah’s ark. Genesis 1 to Genesis 11 is UNIVERSAL as it narrates about humanity at large and concurs with the current scientific classification of Homo sapiens into three species of mankind. From Genesis 12 till Malachi is ETHNOCENTRIC as it narrates only about Abram and his descendants. Was the God of Noah very different from the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, for the former seems to be really OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT AND IMPARTIALLY JUST, whereas the latter seems to be directly the opposite; NEPOTIC AND FALLIBLE.
2. The Almighty Creator OF Genesis 1 to Genesis 11 moulded and gave life to his son; ADAM, and later by anaesthetic surgery while Adam was wide awake separated his bisexual parts and named the new product EVE, a helpmate and later wife and mother of Adam’s descendants. But in the case of Abraham who was the ancestor of only the Ishmael and Isaac, he had to wait long before the promised son arrived. Later, after many years of retraining the pagan from Ur he was asked to sacrifice Isaac as a test of obedience and loyalty to this personal God who brought him out of the Land of UR.
3. Is Jesus the only son of Almighty Creator God that created the entire universe or is he only a descendant of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, who banished Hagar and Ishmael to die in a dry desert before the injustice was corrected by the Almighty Creator as dogmatised and deluded Christians proclaim, thus fuelling the perennial Arab – Israeli wars. Please provide convincing and rational answers to this bewildered theosophist, and then answer this his ultimate question; TO WHOM DID THIS PERSONAL GOD OF THE ISRAELITES SACRIFICE JESUS AS ABRAHAM TRIED TO SACRIFICE ISAAC AND TO WHAT PURPOSE OR TEST.
“This is the Internet Age and our voracious children surf and browse all websites in our current Global village. You cannot blindfold them for long nor restrict their human rights and freedom as previously done by ancient demagogues did. They ask so many questions that pre-scientific man shrouded in fables, legends, doctrines and dogmas. However,
TRUTH IS SUPREME AND WILL ALWAYS RISE ONE DAY, NO MATTER FOR HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN SUPPRESSED OR BURIED BY CENTURIES OF DOCTRINES AND DOGMAS FABRICATED IN ROME.
The errors of the Fathers of the Roman Catholic Church are so numerous that the little Pope John Paul II did by way of educated apologetics during his papacy barely scratched at the surface of the centuries’ old crime of misleading the whole Christendom”.

A KENEZIAN SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS DEMONIC AND IS OF A SATANIC ORIGIN AND WAS THE GENESIS OF ALL REBELLIONS IN WORLD HISTORY. WE MUST OVERCOME ITS NEGATIVE EFFECTS BEFORE WE CAN EVER ACHIEVE A LASTING GLOBAL PEACE FOR OUR GLOBAL VILLAGE

Where I was born, we have this local saying; ‘He who does not know where the rainfall starting beating him, will never know where it stopped’. Another warns; “A rat that joins a lizard in playing in the rain, to remember that when the lizard is dry, it will still be wet.” In my culture, one does not interpret proverbs. Simply put, “One, who does not know who he is and where he is coming from, does not know where he is going especially in religion!”
The music I am about to play is not for every human being to dance! It is only for those matured humans with sturdy legs and pliable pelvic girdles. Only those who are prepared to stand out of the crowd are qualified to read this controversial dissertation. For my local lyrics for the brave warriors of old counsels; “If you have strengthened your heart for real challenges, then put your hands!” This is purely a literal rendition.
Its true import is this: “Unless you are fortified as a lion-hearted warrior, do not join in this war dance!” In the thick rainforests of Biafra, before the arrival of the first white man on the African continent, bond-fide male indigenes in EzeAwara’s kingdom were warriors reputed for swallowing razor-sharp cutlasses or swords and thereafter excreting them at will or whenever they wanted. They solved the ‘impossibles’ by removing the ‘im’ to convert all of them to the ‘possibles”. “If you have strengthened your heart for real challenges, then put forward your hands!”
You, too, can vomit the toxic cutlass of dogmas today! These diatribes, dissertations and research papers at this website put an end to myopic crusades and jihads! This is the computer age of digital gadgets, cellular phones and the Internet. We are scientists, not theoreticians or armchair philosophers that earlier killed scientists that proposed that the earth was round and rotated around the static sun!
ONLY TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO ALL THE NATURAL LAWS IN CREATION IS THE UNIFYING RELIGION WE NEED AS EQUAL HEIRS TO THE OMNISCIENT, OMNIPOTENT, AND ETERNAL FATHER OF US ALL. LET US ACCEPT TO SHARE THE ALMIGHTY CREATOR’S BENEVOLENCE AMICABLY IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHIC LOCATIONS, ACCIDENTS OF PLACES AND TIMES BIRTHS, PARENTAGES, EYE OR SKIN COLOURS, NATIONALITIES AND SOCIAL STATUSES AND LIVE AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS, NOW AND FOR EVER.

THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS DEMONIC
AND IS OF A SATANIC ORIGIN
DR J. K. DANMBAEZUE INSISTS THAT “TRUTH IS LIFE” i.e. “EZIOKWU BU NDU” in Igbo Language AND SO MUST BE TOLD TO PROPERLY EDUCATE AND SAVE THE LIVES AND SOULS OF OUR DEAR GROWING CHILDREN

We are scientists, not theoreticians or armchair philosophers that earlier killed scientists that proposed that the earth was round and rotated around the static sun!
All over the world, the supposedly rational animal that prides itself with being the only one with language and reason has been manipulated into swallowing toxic wastes in the name of faith! From birth, one is conditioned to swallow the community’s or parents’ religious practices without questions! The general mass hysteria is that doctrines, dogmas and rituals were handed down through some prophets and priests and therefore no one dares challenge their real worth; neither their veracity, their utilitarian values nor their mutual benefits!
That is now history for intelligent humans who will read and understand this website! That has been the remote cause of racism, religious intolerance and the production of majority and minority races. All the animals, plants fishes, birds, reptiles, apes and human beings have the divinely built in mechanism of IMMANENT MOTION and each was designed, built and bestowed with ASEXUAL or SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE CAPABILITIES by a SUPREME ARCHITECT/ENGINEER, who created, creates and still sustains all his created beings, animate and inanimate; all humans describe as the ALMIGHTY CREATOR!
The unproved Theory of Evolution was the product of a grandson of the Evil One! There is no doubt that Charles Darwin knew where he came from, why he was here and where he was going! The truth was that his biological father noticed an unusual trait in his son but could not decipher it since psychology had not advanced beyond theoretical assumptions. He opted to send him to a Bible College. Moreover, as every Briton then joined in the face-off of the adulterous King with the Papacy they all pretended to be ‘Christians’ who were really protesting the supremacy of the Pope and his Papal powers dominating the entire world! Any theory that helped to enthrone the Anglican Communion founded by the His Royal Majesty at the crucial time and helped dislocate the Roman Catholic Church domination of the entire world through the unpopular Papacy was welcome and given maximum support and publicity. So, you can imagine that overnight Charles Darwin’s demonic theories that would supplant God and the Creationist theory was embraced by all Britons and even earned him a Knighthood. No thanks to the love affair between Constantine, the great and his heart-throb, a Christian damsel under the tutelage of Saul of Tarsus!
ALL THE ABRACADABRA RELIGIONS IN WORLD HISTROY HAVE ONE HUMAN OBJECTIVE AT THE OUTSET HOWEVER EACH ENDS UP IN DEMONIC FRATRICIDAL WARS WE ERRONUOSLY MISLABEL CRUSADES AND JIHADS. THEY WERE ETHNIC CLEANSING WORSE THAN ADLOPH HITLER’S WAR CRIMES,
And that is why this modern theosophist; Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez affirms that human feelings about religion originate from a single psychological trait; the fear of the unknown, which we attempt to placate vicariously and therefore we formulate, propagate and satisfy the same L.C.M and H.C.F. by teaching what we consider are humane social mores and norms that can ensure peace for all concerned. In the final analyses, the summation, précis and concise summary of all the scriptures in the entire world are;
WORLD RELIGION IS ‘LOVE EVERY HUMAN BEING AS A CREATURE OF SAME ALMIGHTY FATHER’.
Take a harder look at the results of the enforcement of the variety of religions in world history and you will note that each religion set out to seek and pursue peaceful principles but each ended up promulgating doctrines and dogmas not acceptable to all humanity. The result is that the mundane xenophobic, egocentric and socio-centric desire to enforce these myopic doctrines and dogmas take over the objective of peace and turns the world into a battlefield of religious fanatics, mystics, demagogues and irrational beings that destroy humanity!
The ensuing narcissistic, masochistic and schizophrenic behavioural traits come to the fore and crusades and jihads take over the religious mission and replace it with ethnocentric and egocentric objective of establishing world supremacy! Is it not foolhardy for anyone to fight for the Creator, God or Allah that we all know is OMNISCIENT and OMNIPOTENT? A comparative analysis of the origins and development of crusades and jihads seems proper here! So, let ask Wikipedia or the encyclopaedias!
Counterfeits had always existed in every human endeavour but the worst is the one that proposed that humans developed from monkey-like creatures called apes. If that theory were true, by now, after a century it could have become A SCIENTIFIC LAW! Austrian monk, McGregor Mendel’s theory of inheritance in all species was only recognised post-homously. It passed all the hurdles that met the classification and differentiations of laws versus theories. All natural scientists, whether in botany or zoology, human or veterinary medicine, psychology or politics, sociology and anthropology must study his theories meticulously to pass any professional examinations!
But to date, the disciples of the pastor-turned observer of biological evolution, the ape-like Charles Darwin, who initially set out to explain to his peers why he looked very much like an ape are still groping in the dark alleys of theories that will never become any law in any scientific community! Take a critical look of any of the pictures of Charles Darwin who was a trained Anglican priest. Place it beside a picture of a full grown male ape. It will be difficult for your ten year child to differentiate. That experiment will reveal the objective of theologically trained pastor wandering off to observe animals in their natural habitats as he claimed was the ORIGIN OF SPECIES.
The truth; however was he had a subconscious need to extricate himself from the jeers and sneers of his age-mates who taunted him with being a grandson of an ape. He set out to blacklist all humans as descendants of apes and so rebuff the adolescent taunts of his peer group! Otherwise tell me, what time had a missionary pastor to veer into unknown scientific areas he never received any for mal training? No one had ever bordered to ask these pertinent and revealing questions all along.
Now, Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez has belled the cats let all the scientific rats come out of their cowardice and ask the relevant questions on why a non-scientist was allowed to derail THE POSITIVE AND SELF-EVIDENT RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE OF THE THEORY OF CREATIONISM.
THE UNIVERSE IS THE HANDIWORK OF A SUPREME INTELLIGENCE
Creationism is the affirmation, not merely a belief that the universe and the various forms of life were created by God out of nothing (ex nihilo). Biblical creationists believe that the story told in Genesis of God's six-day creation of all things is literally correct. Scientific creationists believe that a creator made all that exists, but they may not hold that the Genesis story is a literal history of that creation. Both types of creationists, however, believe that changes in organisms may involve changes within a species or downward changes (negative mutations), but they do not believe that any of these changes can lead to the evolution of a lower or simpler species into a higher or more-complex species. Thus, the theory of biological evolution is disputed by all creationists.
Creationism became the object of renewed interest among conservative religious groups following the publication in 1859 of On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin (1809–82), the first systematic statement of evolutionary theory. Within two decades most of the scientific community had accepted some form of evolution, and most churches eventually followed suit.
In the early 20th century, some state legislatures in the United States banned the teaching of evolution on the ground that it contradicted the biblical creation story, which they considered a revealed truth.
The result was the famous Scopes Trial (the so-called “Monkey Trial”) of 1925, in which a high-school teacher, John T. Scopes, was convicted of unlawfully teaching the theory of evolution (he was later acquitted on a technicality).
Beginning in the late 20th century, many creationists advocated a view known as intelligent design, which was essentially a scientifically modern version of the argument from design for the existence of God as set forth by the Anglican clergyman William Paley (1743–1805). Today most creationists in the United States continue to work toward their goal of ensuring that the biblical creation story, or at least the idea that the universe and living things were divinely created, is taught alongside evolution in the public schools.
IS DIFFERENTIATIONS/IMPROVEMENT IN SPECIES BY BLIND CHANCE?
Evolution is a theory in biology postulating that the various types of plants, animals, and other living things on Earth have their origin in other pre-existing types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. The theory of evolution is one of the fundamental keystones of modern biological theory.
The 19th-century English naturalist Charles Darwin argued that organisms come about by evolution, and he provided a scientific explanation, essentially correct but incomplete, of how evolution occurs and why it is that organisms have features—such as wings, eyes, and kidneys—clearly structured to serve specific functions. Natural selection was the fundamental concept in his explanation. Natural selection occurs because individuals having more-useful traits, such as more-acute vision or swifter legs, survive better and produce more progeny than individuals with less-favourable traits. Genetics, a science born in the 20th century, reveals in detail how natural selection works and led to the development of the modern theory of evolution. Beginning in the 1960s, a related scientific discipline, molecular biology, enormously advanced knowledge of biological evolution and made it possible to investigate detailed problems that had seemed completely out of reach only a short time previously—for example, how similar the genes of humans and chimpanzees might be (they differ in about 1–2 percent of the units that make up the genes).

MY DEAR READER, DID YOUR GRANDPARENTS EVOLVE FROM APES, BABOONS, CHIMPANZEE, GORILLAS AND/OR MONKEYS? IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, PLEASE STOP READING ANY OF MY PAPERS---OH!
A KENEZIAN CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER
It is my proven conclusion therefore that it was abracadabra religious dissension that produced the most heinous theories in world history. This was/is/will remain the origin of all religious dissensions that watered down the pristine views of man and gradually over the centuries opened the eyes of all that one can theorise in the wrong direction and still have a popular following by demonised and people of crooked thinking. That was the remote genesis of the previous world wars that enthroned superiority of races, blood and intelligence that engineered the earliest religious crusades and jihads.
Before Charles Darwin, piety reigned! After Charles Darwin, hell was let loose so that all the demons escaped from hellfire, came down to our human world, filled the earth and bred all the demagogues that spawned unscientific theories, doctrines and dogmas that led to all the previous genocides mistakenly called “world wars”! My dear, can’t you now see the mother theory of evolution that gave birth to all the other nefarious evolutions that is now the pandemic the world is suffering from?
------------- QUOT ERAT DEMONSTRADUM!
The international reparative solutions to our battered world are neatly encapsulated in these integrational stanzas divinely dictated by the Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator of the Entire Universe to a humble adolescent who delayed making them public for over 55 years for he lacked the courage to publish earlier due to fear of being labelled an apostate.

Another warns; “A rat that joins a lizard in playing in the rain, to remember that when the lizard is dry, it will still be wet.” In my culture, one does not interpret proverbs.
Simply put, “One, who does not know who he is and where he is coming from, does not know where he is going especially in religion!” The music I am about to play is not for every human being to dance! It is only for those matured humans with sturdy legs and pliable pelvic girdles. Only those who are prepared to stand out of the crowd are qualified to read this controversial dissertation. For my local lyrics for the brave warriors of old counsels; “If you have strengthened your heart for real challenges, then put your hands!” This is purely a literal rendition.
Its true import is this: “Unless you are fortified as a lion-hearted warrior, do not join in this war dance!” In the thick rainforests of Biafra, before the arrival of the first white man on the African continent, bond-fide male indigenes in EzeAwara’s kingdom were warriors reputed for swallowing razor-sharp cutlasses or swords and thereafter excreting them at will or whenever they wanted. They solved the ‘impossibles’ by removing the ‘im’ to convert all of them to the ‘possibles”. “If you have strengthened your heart for real challenges, then put forward your hands!” You, too, can vomit the toxic cutlass of dogmas today! These diatribes, dissertations and research papers at this website put an end to myopic crusades and jihads! This is the computer age of digital gadgets, cellular phones and the Internet. We are scientists, not theoreticians or armchair philosophers that earlier killed scientists that proposed that the earth was round and rotated around the static sun!
All over the world, the supposedly rational animal that prides itself with being the only one with language and reason has been manipulated into swallowing toxic wastes in the name of faith! From birth, one is conditioned to swallow the community’s or parents’ religious practices without questions! The general mass hysteria is that doctrines, dogmas and rituals were handed down through some prophets and priests and therefore no one dares challenge their real worth; neither their veracity, their utilitarian values nor their mutual benefits!
That is now history for intelligent humans who will read and understand this website! That has been the remote cause of racism, religious intolerance and the production of majority and minority races. All the animals, plants fishes, birds, reptiles, apes and human beings have the divinely built in mechanism of IMMANENT MOTION and each was designed, built and bestowed with ASEXUAL or SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE CAPABILITIES by a SUPREME ARCHITECT/ENGINEER, who created, creates and still sustains all his created beings, animate and inanimate; all humans describe as the ALMIGHTY CREATOR!
The unproved Theory of Evolution was the product of a grandson of the Evil One! There is no doubt that Charles Darwin knew where he came from, why he was here and where he was going! The truth was that his biological father noticed an unusual trait in his son but could not decipher it since psychology had not advanced beyond theoretical assumptions. He opted to send him to a Bible College. Moreover, as every Briton then joined in the face-off of the adulterous King with the Papacy they all pretended to be ‘Christians’ who were really protesting the supremacy of the Pope and his Papal powers dominating the entire world! Any theory that helped to enthrone the Anglican Communion founded by the His Royal Majesty at the crucial time and helped dislocate the Roman Catholic Church domination of the entire world through the unpopular Papacy was welcome and given maximum support and publicity. So, you can imagine that overnight Charles Darwin’s demonic theories that would supplant God and the Creationist theory was embraced by all Britons and even earned him a Knighthood. No thanks to the love affair between Constantine, the great and his heart-throb, a Christian damsel under the tutelage of Saul of Tarsus!
ALL THE ABRACADABRA RELIGIONS IN WORLD HISTROY HAVE ONE HUMAN OBJECTIVE AT THE OUTSET HOWEVER EACH ENDS UP IN DEMONIC FRATRICIDAL WARS WE ERRONUOSLY MISLABEL CRUSADES AND JIHADS. THEY WERE ETHNIC CLEANSING WORSE THAN ADLOPH HITLER’S WAR CRIMES,
And that is why this modern theosophist; Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez affirms that human feelings about religion originate from a single psychological trait; the fear of the unknown, which we attempt to placate vicariously and therefore we formulate, propagate and satisfy the same L.C.M and H.C.F. by teaching what we consider are humane social mores and norms that can ensure peace for all concerned. In the final analyses, the summation, précis and concise summary of all the scriptures in the entire world are;
WORLD RELIGION IS ‘LOVE EVERY HUMAN BEING AS A CREATURE OF SAME ALMIGHTY FATHER’.
Take a harder look at the results of the enforcement of the variety of religions in world history and you will note that each religion set out to seek and pursue peaceful principles but each ended up promulgating doctrines and dogmas not acceptable to all humanity. The result is that the mundane xenophobic, egocentric and socio-centric desire to enforce these myopic doctrines and dogmas take over the objective of peace and turns the world into a battlefield of religious fanatics, mystics, demagogues and irrational beings that destroy humanity!
The ensuing narcissistic, masochistic and schizophrenic behavioural traits come to the fore and crusades and jihads take over the religious mission and replace it with ethnocentric and egocentric objective of establishing world supremacy! Is it not foolhardy for anyone to fight for the Creator, God or Allah that we all know is OMNISCIENT and OMNIPOTENT? A comparative analysis of the origins and development of crusades and jihads seems proper here! So, let ask Wikipedia or the encyclopaedias!
Counterfeits had always existed in every human endeavour but the worst is the one that proposed that humans developed from monkey-like creatures called apes. If that theory were true, by now, after a century it could have become A SCIENTIFIC LAW! Austrian monk, McGregor Mendel’s theory of inheritance in all species was only recognised post-homously. It passed all the hurdles that met the classification and differentiations of laws versus theories. All natural scientists, whether in botany or zoology, human or veterinary medicine, psychology or politics, sociology and anthropology must study his theories meticulously to pass any professional examinations!
But to date, the disciples of the pastor-turned observer of biological evolution, the ape-like Charles Darwin, who initially set out to explain to his peers why he looked very much like an ape are still groping in the dark alleys of theories that will never become any law in any scientific community! Take a critical look of any of the pictures of Charles Darwin who was a trained Anglican priest. Place it beside a picture of a full grown male ape. It will be difficult for your ten year child to differentiate. That experiment will reveal the objective of theologically trained pastor wandering off to observe animals in their natural habitats as he claimed was the ORIGIN OF SPECIES.
The truth; however was he had a subconscious need to extricate himself from the jeers and sneers of his age-mates who taunted him with being a grandson of an ape. He set out to blacklist all humans as descendants of apes and so rebuff the adolescent taunts of his peer group! Otherwise tell me, what time had a missionary pastor to veer into unknown scientific areas he never received any for mal training? No one had ever bordered to ask these pertinent and revealing questions all along.
Now, Rev. Prof. J. J. Kenez has belled the cats let all the scientific rats come out of their cowardice and ask the relevant questions on why a non-scientist was allowed to derail THE POSITIVE AND SELF-EVIDENT RELIGIOUS PERSPECTIVE OF THE THEORY OF CREATIONISM.
THE UNIVERSE IS THE HANDIWORK OF A SUPREME INTELLIGENCE
Creationism is the affirmation, not merely a belief that the universe and the various forms of life were created by God out of nothing (ex nihilo). Biblical creationists believe that the story told in Genesis of God's six-day creation of all things is literally correct. Scientific creationists believe that a creator made all that exists, but they may not hold that the Genesis story is a literal history of that creation. Both types of creationists, however, believe that changes in organisms may involve changes within a species or downward changes (negative mutations), but they do not believe that any of these changes can lead to the evolution of a lower or simpler species into a higher or more-complex species. Thus, the theory of biological evolution is disputed by all creationists.
Creationism became the object of renewed interest among conservative religious groups following the publication in 1859 of On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin (1809–82), the first systematic statement of evolutionary theory. Within two decades most of the scientific community had accepted some form of evolution, and most churches eventually followed suit.
In the early 20th century, some state legislatures in the United States banned the teaching of evolution on the ground that it contradicted the biblical creation story, which they considered a revealed truth.
The result was the famous Scopes Trial (the so-called “Monkey Trial”) of 1925, in which a high-school teacher, John T. Scopes, was convicted of unlawfully teaching the theory of evolution (he was later acquitted on a technicality).
Beginning in the late 20th century, many creationists advocated a view known as intelligent design, which was essentially a scientifically modern version of the argument from design for the existence of God as set forth by the Anglican clergyman William Paley (1743–1805). Today most creationists in the United States continue to work toward their goal of ensuring that the biblical creation story, or at least the idea that the universe and living things were divinely created, is taught alongside evolution in the public schools.
IS DIFFERENTIATIONS/IMPROVEMENT IN SPECIES BY BLIND CHANCE?
Evolution is a theory in biology postulating that the various types of plants, animals, and other living things on Earth have their origin in other pre-existing types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. The theory of evolution is one of the fundamental keystones of modern biological theory.
The 19th-century English naturalist Charles Darwin argued that organisms come about by evolution, and he provided a scientific explanation, essentially correct but incomplete, of how evolution occurs and why it is that organisms have features—such as wings, eyes, and kidneys—clearly structured to serve specific functions. Natural selection was the fundamental concept in his explanation. Natural selection occurs because individuals having more-useful traits, such as more-acute vision or swifter legs, survive better and produce more progeny than individuals with less-favourable traits. Genetics, a science born in the 20th century, reveals in detail how natural selection works and led to the development of the modern theory of evolution. Beginning in the 1960s, a related scientific discipline, molecular biology, enormously advanced knowledge of biological evolution and made it possible to investigate detailed problems that had seemed completely out of reach only a short time previously—for example, how similar the genes of humans and chimpanzees might be (they differ in about 1–2 percent of the units that make up the genes).

MY DEAR READER, DID YOUR GRANDPARENTS EVOLVE FROM APES, BABOONS, CHIMPANZEE, GORILLAS AND/OR MONKEYS? IF YOUR ANSWER IS YES, PLEASE STOP READING ANY OF MY PAPERS---OH!
A KENEZIAN CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER
It is my proven conclusion therefore that it was abracadabra religious dissension that produced the most heinous theories in world history. This was/is/will remain the origin of all religious dissensions that watered down the pristine views of man and gradually over the centuries opened the eyes of all that one can theorise in the wrong direction and still have a popular following by demonised and people of crooked thinking. That was the remote genesis of the previous world wars that enthroned superiority of races, blood and intelligence that engineered the earliest religious crusades and jihads.
Before Charles Darwin, piety reigned! After Charles Darwin, hell was let loose so that all the demons escaped from hellfire, came down to our human world, filled the earth and bred all the demagogues that spawned unscientific theories, doctrines and dogmas that led to all the previous genocides mistakenly called “world wars”! My dear, can’t you now see the mother theory of evolution that gave birth to all the other nefarious evolutions that is now the pandemic the world is suffering from?
------------- QUOT ERAT DEMONSTRADUM!
The international reparative solutions to our battered world are neatly encapsulated in these integrational stanzas divinely dictated by the Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator of the Entire Universe to a humble adolescent who delayed making them public for over 55 years for he lacked the courage to publish earlier due to fear of being labelled an apostate.

Stress (psychology)

INTRODUCTION
|
Stress is a common experience. We may feel stress when we are very busy, have important deadlines to meet, or have too little time to finish all of our tasks. Often people experience stress because of problems at work or in social relationships, such as a poor evaluation by a supervisor or an argument with a friend. Some people may be particularly vulnerable to stress in situations involving the threat of failure or personal humiliation. Others have extreme fears of objects or things associated with physical threats—such as snakes, illness, storms, or flying in an airplane—and become stressed when they encounter or think about these perceived threats. Major life events, such as the death of a loved one, can cause severe stress.
Stress can have both positive and negative effects. Stress is a normal, adaptive reaction to threat. It signals danger and prepares us to take defensive action. Fear of things that pose realistic threats motivates us to deal with them or avoid them. Stress also motivates us to achieve and fuels creativity. Although stress may hinder performance on difficult tasks, moderate stress seems to improve motivation and performance on less complex tasks. In personal relationships, stress often leads to less cooperation and more aggression.
If not managed appropriately, stress can lead to serious problems. Exposure to chronic stress can contribute to both physical illnesses, such as heart disease, and mental illnesses, such as anxiety disorders. The field of health psychology focuses in part on how stress affects bodily functioning and on how people can use stress management techniques to prevent or minimize disease.

SOURCES OF STRESS
|
Stressors can be classified into three general categories: catastrophic events, major life changes, and daily hassles. In addition, simply thinking about unpleasant past events or anticipating unpleasant future events can cause stress for many people.

Catastrophes
|
Earthquake Destruction
Life-threatening
disasters, such as earthquakes, cause severe stress and can take a heavy
psychological toll on their victims. Pictured here are buildings in Mexico City
destroyed by a September 1985 earthquake. The quake left at least 9,500 people
dead and about 30,000 homeless.

A catastrophe is a sudden,
often life-threatening calamity or disaster that pushes people to the outer
limits of their coping capability. Catastrophes include natural disasters—such
as earthquakes, tornadoes, fires, floods, and hurricanes—as well as wars,
torture, automobile accidents, violent physical attacks, and sexual assaults.
Catastrophes often continue to affect their victims’ mental health long after
the event has ended. For example, in 1972 a dam burst and flooded the West
Virginia mining town of Buffalo Creek, destroying the town. Two years after the
disaster, most of the adult survivors continued to show emotional disturbances.
Similarly, most of the survivors of concentration camps in World War II
(1939-1945) continued to experience nightmares and other symptoms of severe
emotional problems long after their release from the camps.|

EFFECTS OF STRESS
|
|
A
|
|
The Stress Response
|
Another part of the stress response involves the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, parts of the brain that are important in regulating hormones and many other bodily functions. In times of stress, the hypothalamus directs the pituitary gland to secrete adrenocorticotropic hormone. This hormone, in turn, stimulates the outer layer, or cortex, of the adrenal glands to release glucocorticoids, primarily the stress hormone cortisol (see Hydrocortisone). Cortisol helps the body access fats and carbohydrates to fuel the fight-or-flight response.
Canadian scientist Hans Selye was one of the first people to study the stress response. As a medical student, Selye noticed that patients with quite different illnesses shared many of the same symptoms, such as muscle weakness, weight loss, and apathy. Selye believed these symptoms might be part of a general response by the body to stress. In the 1930s Selye studied the reactions of laboratory rats to a variety of physical stressors, such as heat, cold, poisons, strenuous exercise, and electric shock. He found that the different stressors all produced a similar response: enlargement of the adrenal glands, shrinkage of the thymus gland (a gland involved in the immune response), and bleeding stomach ulcers.
Selye proposed a three-stage model of the stress response, which he termed the general adaptation syndrome. The three stages in Selye’s model are alarm, resistance, and exhaustion. The alarm stage is a generalized state of arousal during the body’s initial response to the stressor. In the resistance stage, the body adapts to the stressor and continues to resist it with a high level of physiological arousal. When the stress persists for a long time, and the body is chronically overactive, resistance fails and the body moves to the exhaustion stage. In this stage, the body is vulnerable to disease and even death.

Disease
|
Stress Test
The stress test,
also called an exercise electrocardiogram, measures the heart rate of a person
during exercise and identifies any abnormal changes in heart function. Such
changes may indicate the presence of coronary or arterial disease.
Mauro
Fermariello/Photo Researchers, Inc.
Physicians increasingly
acknowledge that stress is a contributing factor in a wide variety of health
problems. These problems include cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension
(high blood pressure); coronary heart disease (coronary atherosclerosis, or
narrowing of the heart’s arteries); and gastrointestinal disorders, such as
ulcers. Stress also appears to be a risk factor in cancer, chronic pain
problems, and many other health disorders. See Stress-Related Disorders.Researchers have clearly identified stress, and specifically a person's characteristic way of responding to stress, as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. The release of stress hormones has a cumulative negative effect on the heart and blood vessels. Cortisol, for example, increases blood pressure, which can damage the inside walls of blood vessels. It also increases the free fatty acids in the bloodstream, which in turn leads to plaque buildup on the lining of the blood vessels. As the blood vessels narrow over time it becomes increasingly difficult for the heart to pump sufficient blood through them.
People with certain personality types seem to be physiologically overresponsive to stress and therefore more vulnerable to heart disease. For example, the so-called Type A personality is characterized by competitiveness, impatience, and hostility. When Type A people experience stress, their heart rate and blood pressure climb higher and recovery takes longer than with more easygoing people. The most “toxic” personality traits of Type A people are frequent reactions of hostility and anger. These traits are correlated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease.
Stress also appears to influence the development of cancer, but the relationship is not as well established as it is for cardiovascular diseases. There is a moderate positive correlation between extent of exposure to life stressors and cancer—the more stressors, the greater the likelihood of cancer. In addition, a tendency to cope with unpleasant events in a rigid, unemotional manner is associated with the development and progression of cancer.

|
|
Decreased Immune Response
|
Numerous studies have linked stress with decreased immune response. For example, when laboratory animals are physically restrained, exposed to inescapable electric shocks, or subjected to overcrowding, loud noises, or maternal separation, they show decreased immune system activity. Researchers have reported similar findings for humans. One study, for example, found weakened immune response in people whose spouses had just died. Other studies have documented weakened immune responses among students taking final examinations; people who are severely deprived of sleep; recently divorced or separated men and women; people caring for a family member with Alzheimer’s disease; and people who have recently lost their jobs.
Stress appears to depress immune function in two main ways. First, when people experience stress, they more often engage in behaviors that have adverse effects on their health: cigarette smoking, using more alcohol or drugs, sleeping less, exercising less, and eating poorly. In addition, stress may alter the immune system directly through hormonal changes. Research indicates that glucocorticoids—hormones that are secreted by the adrenal glands during the stress response—actively suppress the body’s immune system.
At one time scientists believed the immune system functioned more or less as an independent system of the body. They now know that the immune system does not operate by itself, but interacts closely with other bodily systems. The field of psychoneuroimmunology focuses on the relationship between psychological influences (such as stress), the nervous system, and the immune system.

COPING WITH STRESS

|

|
|
Coping Strategies
|
To understand these strategies, consider the example of a premed student in college who faces three difficult final examinations in a single week. She knows she must get top grades in order to have a chance at acceptance to medical school. This situation is a potential source of stress. To cope, she could organize a study group and master the course materials systematically (problem-focused coping). Or she could decide that she needs to relax and collect herself for an hour or so (emotion-focused coping) before proceeding with an action plan (problem-focused coping). She might also decide to watch television for hours on end to prevent having to think about or study for her exams (emotion-focused coping).
In general, problem-focused coping is the most effective coping strategy when people have realistic opportunities to change aspects of their situation and reduce stress. Emotion-focused coping is most useful as a short-term strategy. It can help reduce one’s arousal level before engaging in problem-solving and taking action, and it can help people deal with stressful situations in which there are few problem-focused coping options.
|
B
|
|
Social Support
|
A large body of research has linked social support to good health and a superior ability to cope with stress. For example, one long-term study of several thousand California residents found that people with extensive social ties lived longer than those with few close social contacts. Another study found that heart-attack victims who lived alone were nearly twice as likely to have another heart attack as those who lived with someone. Even the perception of social support can help people cope with stress. Studies have found that people’s appraisal of the availability of social support is more closely related to how well they deal with stressors than the actual amount of support they receive or the size of their social network.
Research also suggests that the companionship of animals can help lower stress. For example, one study found that in times of stress, people with pet dogs made fewer visits to the doctor than those without pets.

Biofeedback

Biofeedback in Progress
A patient at a
biofeedback clinic sits connected to electrodes on his head and finger.
Biofeedback is a technique in which patients attempt to become aware of and
then alter bodily functions such as muscle tension and blood pressure. It is
used in treating pain and stress-related conditions, and may help some
paralyzed patients regain the use of their limbs.
Owen
Franken/Corbis
Biofeedback is a technique
in which people learn voluntary control of stress-related physiological
responses, such as skin temperature, muscle tension, blood pressure, and heart
rate. Normally, people cannot control these responses voluntarily. In
biofeedback training, people are connected to an instrument or machine that
measures a particular physiological response, such as heart rate, and feeds
that measurement back to them in an understandable way. For example, the
machine might beep with each heartbeat or display the number of heartbeats per
minute on a digital screen. Next, individuals learn to be sensitive to subtle
changes inside their body that affect the response system being measured.
Gradually, they learn to produce changes in that response system—for example,
to voluntarily lower their heart rate. Typically individuals use different
techniques and proceed by trial and error until they discover a way to produce
the desired changes.Scientists do not understand the mechanisms by which biofeedback works. Nonetheless, it has become a widely used and generally accepted technique for producing relaxation and lowering physiological arousal in patients with stress-related disorders. One use of biofeedback is in the treatment of tension headaches. By learning to lower muscle tension in the forehead, scalp, and neck, many tension headache sufferers can find long-term relief.

Relaxation

Meditation
Through
meditation, people can achieve relaxation and reduce stress. Here a yogi, or
practitioner of yoga, meditates in the cross-legged “lotus position.”
Walter S.
Clark/Photo Researchers, Inc.
In addition to biofeedback,
two other major methods of relaxation are progressive muscular relaxation and
meditation. Progressive muscular relaxation involves systematically
tensing and then relaxing different groups of skeletal (voluntary) muscles,
while directing one’s attention toward the contrasting sensations produced by
the two procedures. After practicing progressive muscular relaxation,
individuals become increasingly sensitive to rising tension levels and can
produce the relaxation response during everyday activities (often by repeating
a cue word, such as calm, to themselves).Meditation, in addition to teaching relaxation, is designed to achieve subjective goals such as contemplation, wisdom, and altered states of consciousness. Some forms have a strong Eastern religious and spiritual heritage based in Zen Buddhism and yoga. Other varieties emphasize a particular lifestyle for practitioners. One of the most common forms of meditation, Transcendental Meditation, involves focusing attention on and repeating a mantra, which is a word, sound, or phrase thought to have particularly calming properties.
Both progressive muscle relaxation and meditation reliably reduce stress-related arousal. They have been used successfully to treat a range of stress-related disorders, including hypertension, migraine and tension headaches, and chronic pain.

Aerobic Exercise

Running for Exercise

Aerobic exercise—such as running,
walking, biking, and skiing—can help keep stress levels down. Because aerobic
exercise increases the endurance of the heart and lungs, an aerobically fit
individual will have a lower heart rate at rest and lower blood pressure, less
reactivity to stressors, and quicker recovery from stressors. In addition,
studies show that people who exercise regularly have higher self-esteem and
suffer less from anxiety and depression than comparable people who are not
aerobically fit. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends exercising
three to four times a week for at least 20 minutes to reduce the risk of
cardiovascular disease.Contributed By:

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE:
Can Work Kill?
Studies conducted in countries around
the world demonstrate that people can actually work themselves to death.
Factors such as workplace stress and long hours contribute to the risk of death
from overwork. In this article from Scientific American Presents, Harvey
B. Simon, a professor at Harvard Medical School, explores recent findings about
the dangers of working too hard and suggests ways of developing healthier work
habits.
Can Work Kill?
According to Sigmund Freud, a man's mission in life is 'to work and to
love.' In this modern world, an excess of—or, at least, unprotected—love can be
hazardous indeed. But what of work? Can a man literally work himself to death?
The Japanese think so; in fact, karoshi, or 'death from
overwork,' is a recognized diagnosis that qualifies survivors of its victims to
receive employee compensation payments. A 1998 survey of 526 Japanese men, aged
30 to 69, supported the idea that long working hours can be hazardous to a
man's health. The subjects of the study included men who had been hospitalized
with a heart attack as well as healthy men of similar ages and occupations. The
results were striking: men from both groups who put in more than 11 hours of
work on an average day were 2.4 times more likely to have a heart attack than
were men who worked 'just' seven to nine hours a day.
What accounts for the increased risk of heart attack among Japanese men
who work very long hours? Mental stress is a logical explanation, but in this
study psychological factors, as measured by what the researchers called the
'burnout index,' did not completely account for the trend. Nor did established
risk factors. High blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, smoking, diabetes
and obesity were linked to heart attack, but even after taking these variables
into account, the number of hours worked itself was still closely related to
the risk of heart attack.
The Japanese are notorious workaholics, but working conditions in Japan
are actually designed to be predictable and to minimize stress among employees.
In general, Western men do not enjoy such advantages, so one wonders just how
working too hard affects their health. In 1997 an international team addressed
the question by examining the results of over a dozen earlier studies on work
and health, which looked at conditions ranging from heart attacks to exhaustion
and mental stress. Analysis of the compiled data confirmed a correlation (in
both men and women) between hours of work and ill health; the effect was small
but consistent and significant.
Both of these studies focused on working hours but not on working
conditions. Are such qualitative factors also important? A 1996 study from
Sweden explored the possibility. The group of researchers observed more than
12,500 employed men over a 14-year period. The scientists evaluated the
psychological and physical demands of each man's job; they also collected
information about the age, smoking history, exercise habits, educational level
and social class of each individual. When the results were analyzed, two
occupational factors emerged as risk factors for death from cardiovascular
disease. Men who had low control over the demands of their jobs were 1.8 times
more likely to die from heart disease than men with more control were; men who
also experienced a low level of social support from co-workers were 2.6 times
more vulnerable to cardiovascular death.
These heart-stopping results do not stand alone. An earlier study of
2,465 Danish bus drivers linked the intensity of traffic on the drivers' routes
to a two-fold increase in the risk of death and heart attack; lack of social
support compounded the problem. Job strain was implicated as a predictor of
mortality in a seven-year study of 500 Swedish men; high demands and low
control combined to explain this effect as well. In a related survey,
researchers who evaluated 99,029 Italian railway workers found that the
combination of high job responsibility and low level of physical work was
associated with an increased risk of heart attack.
More research will be needed to verify these observations. Even now,
however, there is enough evidence to suggest that job stress may increase a
man's risk of dying from heart disease. The combination of high mental demands,
low personal control and inadequate social supports is particularly worrisome.
If stress at work kills, how does it happen? Nobody knows for certain.
But we do know that mental stress increases blood levels of adrenaline and
cortisone, two so-called stress hormones. Psychological stress raises the blood
pressure and heart rate; it can also induce abnormalities in the heart's
pumping rhythm, known as arrhythmias. Stress can also activate platelets in the
blood, triggering clots that can block diseased coronary arteries. Furthermore,
doctors have known for several years that anger in particular can trigger heart
attacks and that mental stress tests can predict heart trouble more accurately
than exercise stress tests.
Anger is an important component of stress on the job—and according to a
recent study, men with the most anger and hostility have the highest risk of
heart disease.
Since 1961 scientists at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School
of Public Health have been observing 2,280 men as part of the Normative Aging
Study. In 1986, 1,305 men (with an average age of 61) completed the
psychological test known as the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory
(MMPI-2), which includes a section designed to quantify anger. Each participant
received a score that indicated his level of anger and hostility. The men
returned for comprehensive medical examinations approximately every seven
years, at which time they were checked for heart disease and cardiac risk
factors such as smoking, hypertension and high cholesterol.
All the men were free of coronary artery disease when the study began,
but during seven years of observation, 110 of them developed heart disease. The
men with the highest anger scores were at the greatest risk for developing
heart disease. And the risk was substantial: coronary artery disease was diagnosed
three times more often in the angriest men than in the men with the least
anger. The link between anger and heart disease was not explained by
differences in blood pressure, smoking or other cardiac risk factors; hostility
was heartbreaking in its own right.
As it turns out, hostility is not so good for the brain, either. In a
report published this spring, Susan A. Everson and her colleagues at the
University of Michigan School of Public Health reported that hostility
increases a patient's risk of stroke. The effect is significant. In a
seven-year study of more than 2,000 men, the scientists found that men who
showed high levels of anger on standard tests of anger expression were two
times more likely to have strokes than were their calm peers. Other factors
such as age, smoking, high blood pressure, excessive alcohol consumption,
diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol levels did not account for the increased
risk.
Men do not have to retire to protect their health. They should,
however, certainly eat right, exercise often and avoid smoking to keep their
hearts healthy. They should have regular medical care and be sure their blood
pressure and cholesterol levels are okay. But they should also seek a work
environment that provides a healthy degree of autonomy and control without
sacrificing social supports. At its best, work should be challenging without
being stressful; it should also be balanced by a healthy amount of play.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
|
I
|
|
INTRODUCTION
|
Post-traumatic stress disorder in war veterans is sometimes called shell shock or combat fatigue. In victims of sexual or physical abuse, the disorder has been called rape trauma or battered woman syndrome. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) adopted the current name of the disorder in 1980.
|
II
|
|
SYMPTOMS
|
Post-traumatic stress disorder can severely disrupt one’s life. Besides the emotional pain of reliving the trauma, the symptoms of the disorder may cause a person to think that he or she is “going crazy.” In addition, people with this disorder may have unpredictable, angry outbursts at family members. At other times, they may seem to have no affection for their loved ones. Some people try to mask their symptoms by abusing alcohol or drugs (see Drug Dependence). Others work very long hours to prevent any “down” periods when they might relive the trauma. Such actions may delay the onset of the disorder until these individuals retire or become sober.

PREVALENCE

|
IV
|
|
CAUSES
|
Not everyone who experiences a traumatic event develops post-traumatic stress disorder. Several factors influence whether people develop the disorder. Those who experience severe and prolonged trauma are more likely to develop the disorder than people who experience less severe trauma. Additionally, those who directly witness or experience death, injury, or attack are more likely to develop symptoms.
People may also have existing biological and psychological vulnerabilities that make them more likely to develop the disorder. Those with histories of anxiety disorders in their families may have inherited a genetic predisposition to react more severely to stress and trauma than other people. In addition, people’s life experiences, especially in childhood, can affect their psychological vulnerability to the disorder. For example, people whose early childhood experiences made them feel that events are unpredictable and uncontrollable have a greater likelihood than others of developing the disorder. Individuals with a strong, supportive social network of friends and family members seem somewhat protected from developing post-traumatic stress disorder.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE:
Vietnam Veterans Against the War
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, mass
demonstrations erupted throughout the United States protesting U.S. involvement
in the Vietnam War (1959-1975). Thousands of veterans joined together in a national
organization, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, that supported and influenced
the antiwar movement. In this transcript from an April 22, 1971, hearing before
the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, committee chairman Senator J.
William Fulbright indicated his sympathy for the antiwar movement. Fulbright’s
comments were followed by the testimony of Vietnam veteran John Kerry, who
called for an end to the war. Kerry also detailed what he believed to be the
war’s negative effects in both Vietnam and the United States. Kerry became a
Democratic senator from Massachusetts in 1985.
Vietnam Veterans Against the War
United States Senate, Committee on
Foreign Relations
Washington, D. C.
Opening Statement of Senator Fulbright:
The committee is continuing this morning its hearings on proposals
relating to the ending of the war in Southeast Asia. This morning the committee
will hear testimony from Mr. John Kerry and, if he has any associates, we will
be glad to hear from them. These are men who have fought in this unfortunate
war in Vietnam. I believe they deserve to be heard and listened to by the
Congress and by the officials in the executive branch and by the public
generally. You have a perspective that those in the Government who make our
Nation's policy do not always have and I am sure that your testimony today will
be helpful to the committee in its consideration of the proposals before us.
I would like to add simply on my own account that I regret very much
the action of the Supreme Court in denying the veterans the right to use the
Mall. [Applause.]
I regret that. It seems to me to be but another instance of an
insensitivity of our Government to the tragic effects of this war upon our
people….
I have joined with some of my colleagues, specifically Senator Hart, in
an effort to try to change the attitude of our Government toward your efforts
in bringing to this committee and to the country your views about the war.
I personally don't know of any group which would have both a greater
justification for doing it and also a more accurate view of the effect of the
war. As you know, there has grown up in this town a feeling that it is
extremely difficult to get accurate information about the war and I don't know
a better source than you and your associates. So we are very pleased to have
you and your associates, Mr.Kerry….
Statement of John Kerry, Vietnam
Veterans Against the War
Mr. Kerry. Thank you very much, Senator
Fulbright, Senator Javits, Senator Symington, Senator Pell. I would like to say
for the record, and also for the men behind me who are also wearing the
uniforms and their medals, that my sitting here is really symbolic. I am not
here as John Kerry. I am here as one member of the group of l,000, which is a
small representation of a very much larger group of veterans in this country,
and were it possible for all of them to sit at this table they would be here
and have the same kind of testimony.
I would simply like to speak in very general terms. I apologize if my
statement is general because I received notification yesterday you would hear
me and I am afraid because of the injunction I was up most of the night and
haven't had a great deal of chance to prepare.
Winter Soldier Investigation
I would like to talk, representing all those veterans, and say that
several months ago in Detroit, we had an investigation at which over 150
honorably discharged and many very highly decorated veterans testified to war
crimes committed in Southeast Asia, not isolated incidents but crimes committed
on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of
command.
It is impossible to describe to you exactly what did happen in Detroit,
the emotions in the room, the feelings of the men who were reliving their
experiences in Vietnam, but they did. They relived the absolute horror of what
this country, in a sense, made them do.
They told the stories [of] times they had personally raped, cut off
ears, cut off heads … cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at
civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle
and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside
of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and
very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this
country.
We call this investigation the 'Winter Soldier Investigation.' The term
'Winter Soldier' is a play on words of Thomas Paine in 1776 when he spoke of
the Sunshine Patriot and summertime soldiers who deserted at Valley Forge
because the going was rough.
We who have come here to Washington have come here because we feel we
have to be winter soldiers now. We could come back to this country; we could be
quiet; we could hold our silence; we could not tell what went on in Vietnam,
but we feel because of what threatens this country, the fact that the crimes
threaten it, not reds, and not redcoats but the crimes which we are committing
that threaten it, that we have to speak out.
Feelings of Men Coming Back from
Vietnam
I would like to talk to you a little bit about what the result is of
the feelings these men carry with them after coming back from Vietnam. The
country doesn't know it yet, but it has created a monster, a monster in the
form of millions of men who have been taught to deal and to trade in violence,
and who are given the chance to die for the biggest nothing in history; men who
have returned with a sense of anger and a sense of betrayal which no one has
yet grasped.
As a veteran and one who feels this anger, I would like to talk about
it. We are angry because we feel we have been used in the worst fashion by the
administration of this country.
In 1970 at West Point, Vice President Agnew said “some glamorize the
criminal misfits of society while our best men die in Asian rice paddies to
preserve the freedom which most of those misfits abuse,” and this was used as a
rallying point for our effort in Vietnam.
But for us, as boys in Asia whom the country was supposed to support,
his statement is a terrible distortion from which we can only draw a very deep
sense of revulsion. Hence the anger of some of the men who are here in
Washington today. It is a distortion because we in no way consider ourselves
the best men of this country, because those he calls misfits were standing up
for us in a way that nobody else in this country dared to, because so many who
have died would have returned to this country to join the misfits in their
efforts to ask for an immediate withdrawal from South Vietnam, because so many
of those best men have returned as quadriplegics and amputees, and they lie
forgotten in Veterans' Administration hospitals in this country which fly the
flag which so many have chosen as their own personal symbol. And we cannot
consider ourselves America's best men when we are ashamed of and hated what we
were called on to do in Southeast Asia.
In our opinion, and from our experience, there is nothing in South
Vietnam, nothing which could happen that realistically threatens the United
States of America. And to attempt to justify the loss of one American life in
Vietnam, Cambodia, or Laos by linking such loss to the preservation of freedom,
which those misfits supposedly abuse, is to us the height of criminal
hypocrisy, and it is that kind of hypocrisy which we feel has torn this country
apart.
We are probably much more angry than that and I don't want to go into
the foreign policy aspects because I am outclassed here. I know that all of you
talk about every possible alternative of getting out of Vietnam. We understand
that. We know you have considered the seriousness of the aspects to the utmost
level and I am not going to try to dwell on that, but I want to relate to you
the feeling that many of the men who have returned to this country express
because we are probably angriest about all that we were told about Vietnam and
about the mystical war against communism.
What Was Found and Learned in Vietnam
We found that not only was it a civil war, an effort by a people who
had for years been seeking their liberation from any colonial influence
whatsoever, but also we found that the Vietnamese whom we had enthusiastically
molded after our own image were hard put to take up the fight against the
threat we were supposedly saving them from.
We found most people didn't even know the difference between communism
and democracy. They only wanted to work in rice paddies without helicopters
strafing them and bombs with napalm burning their villages and tearing their
country apart. They wanted everything to do with the war, particularly with
this foreign presence of the United States of America, to leave them alone in
peace, and they practiced the art of survival by siding with whichever military
force was present at a particular time, be it Vietcong, North Vietnamese, or
American.
We found also that all too often American men were dying in those rice
paddies for want of support from their allies. We saw first hand how money from
American taxes was used for a corrupt dictatorial regime. We saw that many
people in this country had a one-sided idea of who was kept free by our flag,
as blacks provided the highest percentage of casualties. We saw Vietnam ravaged
equally by American bombs as well as by search and destroy missions, as well as
by Vietcong terrorism, and yet we listened while this country tried to blame
all of the havoc on the Vietcong.
We rationalized destroying villages in order to save them. We saw
America lose her sense of morality as she accepted very coolly a My Lai and
refused to give up the image of American soldiers who hand out chocolate bars
and chewing gum.
We learned the meaning of free fire zones, shooting anything that
moves, and we watched while America placed a cheapness on the lives of
orientals.
We watched the U.S. falsification of body counts, in fact the
glorification of body counts. We listened while month after month we were told
the back of the enemy was about to break. We fought using weapons against
'oriental human beings,' with quotation marks around that. We fought using
weapons against those people which I do not believe this country would dream of
using were we fighting in the European theater or let us say a non-third-world
people theater, and so we watched while men charged up hills because a general
said that hill has to be taken, and after losing one platoon or two platoons
they marched away to leave the high for the reoccupation by the North
Vietnamese because we watched pride allow the most unimportant of battles to be
blown into extravaganzas, because we couldn't lose, and we couldn’t retreat,
and because it didn’t matter how many American bodies were lost to prove that
point. And so there were Hamburger Hills and Khe Sanhs and Hill 881's and Fire
Base 6's and so many others.
Now we are told that the men who fought there must watch quietly while
American lives are lost so that we can exercise the incredible arrogance of
Vietnamizing the Vietnamese.
Each day—
[Applause.]
The Chairman. I hope you won't interrupt. He is
making a very significant statement. Let him proceed.
Mr. Kerry. Each day to facilitate the process by
which the United States washes her hands of Vietnam someone has to give up his
life so that the United States doesn't have to admit something that the entire
world already knows, so that we can’t say that we have made a mistake. Someone
has to die so that President Nixon won't be, and these are his words, “the
first President to lose a war.”
We are asking Americans to think about that because how do you ask a
man to be the last man to die in Vietnam? How do you ask a man to be the last
man to die for a mistake? But we are trying to do that, and we are doing it
with thousands of rationalizations, and if you read carefully the President's
last speech to the people of this country, you can see that he says, and says
clearly:
But the issue,
gentlemen, the issue is communism, and the question is whether or not we will
leave that country to the Communists or whether or not we will try to give it
hope to be a free people.
But the point is they are not a free people now under us. They are not
a free people, and we cannot fight communism all over the world, and I think we
should have learned that lesson by now.
Returning Veterans Are Not Really
Wanted
But the problem of veterans goes beyond this personal problem, because
you think about a poster in this country with a picture of Uncle Sam and the
picture says “I want you.” And a young man comes out of high school and says,
“That is fine. I am going to serve my country.” And he goes to Vietnam and he
shoots and he kills and he does his job or maybe he doesn't kill, maybe he just
goes and he comes back, and when he gets back to this country he finds that he
isn't really wanted, because the largest unemployment figure in the country—it
varies depending on who you get it from, the VA Administration 15 percent,
various other sources 22 percent. But the largest corps of unemployed in this
country are veterans of this war, and of those veterans 33 percent of the
unemployed are black. That means 1 out of every 10 of the Nation's unemployed
is a veteran of Vietnam.
The hospitals across the country won't, or can't meet their demands. It
is not a question of not trying. They don't have the appropriations. A man
recently died after he had a tracheotomy in California, not because of the
operation but because there weren't enough personnel to clean the mucous out of
his tube and he suffocated to death.
Another young man just died in a New York VA hospital the other day. A
friend of mine was lying in a bed two beds away and tried to help him, but he
couldn't. He rang a bell and there was nobody there to service that man and so
he died of convulsions.
I understand 57 percent of all those entering the VA hospitals talk
about suicide. Some 27 percent have tried, and they try because they come back
to this country and they have to face what they did in Vietnam, and then they
come back and find the indifference of a country that doesn't really care, that
doesn't really care.
Lack of Moral Indignation in United
States
Suddenly we are faced with a very sickening situation in this country,
because there is no moral indignation and, if there is, it comes from people
who are almost exhausted by their past indignations, and I know that many of
them are sitting in front of me. The country seems to have lain down and
shrugged off something as serious as Laos, just as we calmly shrugged off the
loss of 700,000 lives in Pakistan, the so-called greatest disaster of all
times.
But we are here as veterans to say we think we are in the midst of the
greatest disaster of all times now because they are still dying over there, and
not just Americans, Vietnamese, and we are rationalizing leaving that country
so that those people can go on killing each other for years to come.
Americans seem to have accepted the idea that the war is winding down,
at least for Americans, and they have also allowed the bodies which were once
used by a President for statistics to prove that we were winning that war, to
be used as evidence against a man who followed orders and who interpreted those
orders no differently than hundreds of other men in Vietnam.
We veterans can only look with amazement on the fact that this country
has been unable to see there is absolutely no difference between ground troops
and a helicopter crew, and yet people have accepted a differentiation fed them
by the administration.
No ground troops are in Laos, so it is all right to kill Lao by remote
control. But believe me the helicopter crews fill the same body bags and they
wreak the same kind of damage on the Vietnamese and Lao countryside as anybody
else, and the President is talking about allowing that to go on for many years
to come. One can only ask if we will really be satisfied only when the troops
march into Hanoi.
Request for Action by Congress
We are asking here in Washington for some action, action from the
Congress of the United States of America which has the power to raise and
maintain armies, and which by the Constitution also has the power to declare
war.
We have come here, not to the President, because we believe that this
body can be responsive to the will of the people, and we believe that the will
of the people says that we should be out of Vietnam now.
Extent of Problem of Vietnam War
We are here in Washington also to say that the problem of this war is
not just a question of war and diplomacy. It is part and parcel of everything
that we are trying as human beings to communicate to people in this country,
the question of racism, which is rampant in the military, and so many other
questions also, the use of weapons, the hypocrisy in our taking umbrage in the
Geneva Conventions and using that as justification for a continuation of this
war, when we are more guilty than any other body of violations of those Geneva
Conventions, in the use of free fire zones, harassment interdiction fire,
search and destroy missions, the bombings, the torture of prisoners, the
killing of prisoners, accepted policy by many units in South Vietnam. That is
what we are trying to say. It is part and parcel of everything.
An American Indian friend of mine who lives in the Indian Nation of Alcatraz
put it to me very succinctly. He told me how as a boy on an Indian reservation
he had watched television and he used to cheer the cowboys when they came in
and shot the Indians, and then suddenly one day he stopped in Vietnam and he
said “My God, I am doing to these people the very same thing that was done to
my people.” And he stopped. And that is what we are trying to say, that we
think this thing has to end.
Where Is the Leadership?
We are also here to ask, and we are here to ask vehemently, where are
the leaders of our country? Where is the leadership? We are here to ask where
are McNamara, Rostow, Bundy, Gilpatric and so many others. Where are they now
that we, the men whom they sent off to war, have returned? These are commanders
who have deserted their troops, and there is no more serious crime in the law
of war. The Army says they never leave their wounded.
The Marines say they never leave even their dead. These men have left
all the casualties and retreated behind a pious shield of public rectitude.
They have left the real stuff of their reputations bleaching behind them in the
sun in this country.
Administration’s Attempt to Disown
Veterans
Finally, this administration has done us the ultimate dishonor. They
have attempted to disown us and the sacrifice we made for this country. In
their blindness and fear they have tried to deny that we are veterans or that
we served in Nam. We do not need their testimony. Our own scars and stumps of
limbs are witnesses enough for others and for ourselves.
We wish that a merciful God could wipe away our own memories of that
service as easily as this administration has wiped their memories of us. But
all that they have done and all that they can do by this denial is to make more
clear than ever our own determination to undertake one last mission, to search
out and destroy the last vestige of this barbaric war, to pacify our own
hearts, to conquer the hate and the fear that have driven this country these
last 10 years and more, and so when, in 30 years from now, our brothers go down
the street without a leg, without an arm, or a face, and small boys ask why, we
will be able to say 'Vietnam' and not mean a desert, not a filthy obscene
memory but mean instead the place where America finally turned and where
soldiers like us helped it in the turning.
Thank you. [Applause.]

Stress-Related Disorders
|
I
|
|
INTRODUCTION
|
Physicians have long recognized that people are more susceptible to diseases of all kinds when subjected to great stress. Negative events, such as the death of a loved one, seem to cause enough stress to lower the body’s resistance to disease. Positive circumstances, however, such as a new job or a new baby in the house, can also upset a person’s normal ability to fend off disease. Social scientists have devised a list of life events and rated the relative stressfulness of each. Thus, the death of a spouse rates a 100 on the scale; getting divorced, 73; marital separation, 65; going to jail, 63; death of a close family member, 63; major personal injury or illness, 53; and so on. People also experience stress from daily hassles, such as living in crowded, noisy conditions, commuting to work, and waiting in line. Although these are minor irritants when experienced individually, the cumulative effect of daily hassles can cause substantial stress.
|
II
|
|
CAUSES
|
Certain personality traits may also may lead to stress-related disorders. The so-called Type A personality, characterized by competitive, hard-driving intensity, is common in American society. Although early studies suggested a link between Type A behavior and coronary heart disease, most studies since the 1980s have failed to find such a relationship. However, research has consistently demonstrated that people who show a high level of hostility, anger, and cynicism—often components of Type A behavior—have a higher risk of coronary heart disease than people without these traits. see Heart: Heart Diseases.
|
III
|
|
KINDS
|
Gastrointestinal problems are an even more common result of stress. Peptic ulcers (see Ulcer) are sores in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum (the upper part of the small intestine). Most researchers believe that stress contributes to ulcers by causing excessive secretion of hydrochloric acid. Normally this acid aids digestion by breaking down food in the stomach. But when the stomach produces excessive acid in the absence of food, the acid can eat through the protective mucous lining of the stomach or duodenum. Other stress-related gastrointestinal disorders include irritable bowel syndrome and some inflammatory diseases of the colon and bowel, such as regional enteritis.
Stress can also contribute to some respiratory disorders. For example, stress can trigger an attack of asthma (see Asthma, Bronchial). Asthma attacks are characterized by wheezing, panting, and a feeling of being suffocated. In addition, emotional stress can cause or aggravate many skin disorders, from those that produce itching, tickling, and pain to those that cause rashes and acne.
Major traumatic events such as accidents, catastrophes, or battle experiences may bring on a condition called post-traumatic stress disorder. Once known under war conditions as shell shock or battle fatigue, post-traumatic stress disorder gained its current name after it appeared in many veterans returning from the Vietnam War (1959-1975) as they tried to readjust to civilian life. Symptoms may appear long after the initial trauma. These include reexperiencing the trauma through disturbing nightmares and memories, emotional numbness, nervous irritability, depression, and sleep difficulties.

Autonomic Nervous System
Autonomic Nervous System, in vertebrate anatomy, one of the two main divisions of
the nervous system, supplying impulses to the body's heart muscles, smooth
muscles, and glands. The autonomic system controls the action of the glands;
the functions of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and urogenital
systems; and the involuntary muscles in these systems and in the skin.
Controlled by nerve centers in the lower part of the brain, the system also has
a reciprocal effect on the internal secretions, being controlled to some degree
by the hormones and exercising some control, in turn, on hormone production.Two antagonistic divisions make up the autonomic nervous system: the sympathetic, or thoracicolumbar, division, which stimulates the heart, dilates the bronchi, contracts the arteries, and inhibits the digestive system, preparing the organism for physical action; and the parasympathetic, or craniosacral, division, which has the opposite effects, and prepares the organism for feeding, digestion, and rest. The sympathetic division consists of a chain of interconnected ganglia (groups of nerve cells) on each side of the vertebral column, which send nerve fibers to several large ganglia, such as the coeliac ganglion. They, in turn, give rise to nerves passing to the internal organs. The ganglia of the sympathetic chains are connected to the central nervous system by fine branches connecting each ganglion with the spinal cord. Fibers of the parasympathetic system arise in the brain and, with the cranial nerves, especially the vagus and accessory nerves, pass to ganglia and plexuses (networks of nerves) within the various organs. The lower part of the body is innervated by fibers arising from the lowest (sacral) segment of the spinal cord and passing to the pelvic ganglion, which gives rise to nerves for such organs as the rectum, bladder, and genital organs.

Hypertension
|
I
|
|
INTRODUCTION
|
Blood Pressure Check
A patient’s blood
pressure is checked through the use of a sphygmomanometer. A rubber cuff is
wrapped around the upper arm and inflated, compressing the artery to stop the
blood flow. A stethoscope is placed on the arm to listen for the return of the
blood as the cuff gradually deflates. Readings taken at the point when the
blood forcefully returns and when it is flowing smoothly again determine the
blood pressure.
John
Greim/Medichrome/The Stock Shop
Hypertension or High Blood Pressure, medical condition in
which constricted arterial blood vessels increase the resistance to blood flow,
causing an increase in blood pressure against vessel walls. The heart must work
harder to pump blood through the narrowed arteries. If the condition persists,
damage to the heart and blood vessels is likely, increasing the risk for
stroke, heart attack, and kidney or heart failure. Often called the “silent
killer,” hypertension usually causes no symptoms until it reaches a
life-threatening stage. Hypertension affects 20 percent of people living in the United States. Of these, almost a third are unaware of their condition. Until the age of 55, more men than women have hypertension. After that age, the condition becomes more prevalent in women. Hypertension is significantly more common in African Americans of both sexes than in other racial or ethnic groups.
Physicians use two measurements to describe blood pressure. Systolic pressure measures blood pressure as the heart contracts to pump out blood. Diastolic pressure measures blood pressure as the heart relaxes to allow blood to flow into the heart. An instrument called a sphygmomanometer measures systolic and diastolic pressure using units of millimeters of mercury (abbreviated mm Hg).
Blood pressure is classified in four categories: normal, prehypertension, stage 1 hypertension, and stage 2 hypertension. Normal blood pressure in an adult is less than 120/80 mm Hg, in which 120 describes systolic pressure and 80 describes diastolic pressure. Prehypertension is defined as a systolic pressure of 120 to 139 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure of 80 to 89 mm Hg. People with prehypertension are likely to develop hypertension at some point during their life. Stage 1 hypertension is defined as a systolic pressure of 140 to 159 mm Hg or a diastolic pressure of 90 to 99 mm Hg. Stage 2 hypertension is defined as 160/100 mm Hg or higher.

|
|
HOW HYPERTENSION DEVELOPS
|
The kidneys play a major role in the regulation of blood pressure. Kidneys secrete the hormone renin, which causes arteries to contract, thereby raising blood pressure. The kidneys also control the fluid volume of blood, either by retaining salt or excreting salt into urine. When kidneys retain salt in the bloodstream, the salt attracts water, increasing the fluid volume of blood. As a higher volume of blood passes through arteries, it increases blood pressure.
Scientists do not fully understand the causes of hypertension. In up to 95 percent of cases no clear cause can be identified. This type of high blood pressure is known as essential hypertension, and scientists suspect that genetic factors may play a role in its development. In about 5 percent of cases high blood pressure develops as a result of another medical disorder, such as kidney or liver disease, or as a side effect of certain medications. This type of high blood pressure is known as secondary hypertension. Other factors that may contribute to elevated blood pressure in some people include a diet high in salt, physical inactivity, obesity, and heavy alcohol consumption.

COMPLICATIONS
|
Hypertension forces the heart to work harder to pump adequate blood throughout the body. This extra work causes the muscles of the heart to enlarge, and eventually the enlarged heart becomes inefficient in pumping blood. An enlarged heart may lead to heart failure, in which the heart can not pump enough blood to meet the body’s needs.
Increased blood pressure may damage the small blood vessels within the kidney. The kidney then becomes unable to filter blood efficiently, and waste products may build up in the blood in a condition known as uremia. Without medical treatment, kidney failure will result.

TREATMENT
|
For those with stage 1 and stage 2 hypertension, a physician may prescribe diet and lifestyle changes, as well as one or more drugs known as antihypertensives. Diuretics are antihypertensives that promote excess salt and water excretion, reducing the amount of fluid in the bloodstream and relieving pressure on blood vessel walls. Beta blockers reduce heart rate and the amount of blood the heart pumps. ACE inhibitors prevent the narrowing of blood vessel walls to control blood pressure. Calcium channel blockers slow heart rate and relax blood vessels. Studies show that two drugs are more effective than one drug at lowering blood pressure to less than 140/90 mm Hg.

The Sphygmomanometer
The blood pressure measuring device
known as the sphygmomanometer exists today in much the same form as it did when
it was invented in the early 1900s. The January 18, 1913, issue of Scientific
American contained the following brief description of the sphygmomanometer,
including some comments about the insurance industry’s use of the device.
The Sphygmomanometer
The Sphygmomanometer is an instrument of recent
invention for measuring the blood pressure. The name is derived from sphygmos,
the pulse; manos, thin, rare; and meter, a measure. The manometer
had been in use for some time as an instrument for measuring the tension of
gases and vapors, and was readily adapted to testing blood pressure by adding a
rubber bulb and a cuff with rubber bag attached on the inside. This is placed
over the brachial artery, above the elbow, and when the pressure through the
rubber bulb has shut off the artery so the pulse cannot be felt at the wrist,
the reading in the graded scale at the height of the column of mercury
indicates the blood pressure. The normal blood pressure is 125 millimeters. In
hardening of the arteries, and accompanying heart and kidney complications, the
blood pressure is an important symptom to be studied. Several of the large life
insurance companies require the blood pressure to be taken in applications for
large amounts. One company requires it in all applicants without regard to age or
amount. This company claims to have saved $50,000 in losses the first year in
which they required the use of the sphygmomanometer. They followed the history
of cases rejected on account of high blood pressure only, and found several who
died within the year of apoplexy.

Blood Pressure Classification
Classification of blood pressure levels for adults 18
years and older. Systolic pressure, the higher number of a blood pressure
reading, is the pressure as the heart pumps; diastolic pressure is the pressure
when the heart relaxes between beats.

Coping with High Blood Pressure
Vincent E. Friedewald, Jr., a physician and the author of the Ask
the Doctor series of books on medicine and health, outlines some simple and
basic measures that people with high blood pressure should take. A low-fat,
low-sodium diet and regular exercise, along with a limit on alcoholic drinks
and no smoking, are some of the vital steps necessary to lowering blood
pressure. Friedewald also debunks some suggestions, such as eating lots of
garlic and onions and avoiding coffee, that he says have no effect on
controlling hypertension.
Coping with High Blood Pressure
If you have been diagnosed with hypertension, your goal is simple:
Bring your blood pressure down to a healthy level, and keep it there. Very few
people should settle for less. In fact, many people with hypertension could do
fine without medication. Take these simple steps, and watch your blood pressure
fall.
Know what’s going on in your arteries
Don’t wait for your next trip to the doctor’s office. With proper
instruction, measuring your blood pressure at home is easy and accurate.
Regular self-monitoring also gets you intimately involved in your own care.
Keep a blood pressure diary. Record your blood pressure measurements,
including the time of day and notations about events that might have affected
the readings, such as changes in medication, diet, or physical activity. Take
your blood pressure diary with you every time you visit the doctor.
A word of caution: Don’t use your blood pressure readings to
self-medicate or to change doses of prescribed medications. That’s your
doctor’s responsibility.
Shed those extra pounds and move a little
Lose the weight. Nothing is more critical than dropping those extra
pounds. For some people, excess weight means the difference between normal and
elevated blood pressure. Weight loss may also allow you to take lower doses of
hypertension medications.
Move a little! Sedentary folks have a significantly greater chance of
developing hypertension. Regular exercise lowers blood pressure—and you don’t
have to run a marathon to reap benefits. Brisk walking for 30 to 45 minutes
three times each week will do just fine. Swimming and biking also help control
hypertension, and they’re fun. But whatever exercise you choose, make it a
regular part of your life, just like sleeping and eating.
Another word of caution: If you have been inactive for some time,
consult your doctor before starting any exercise program.
Avoid table salt
The sodium found in ordinary table salt can elevate blood pressure,
especially in African Americans and the elderly. That’s one reason why diuretics—pills
that rid the body of sodium—are so effective in treating hypertension in some
people.
To reduce salt intake, remove the saltshaker from the table. Cut back
on snacks such as potato chips and pretzels, fast foods, processed foods, and
frozen foods. Read the label on every type of food you buy—you may be shocked
at how much sodium is in that little package!
Potassium is a form of salt, too. But unlike sodium, potassium has
positive effects on blood pressure. Folks who ingest a lot of potassium tend to
have lower blood pressure. Most fruits and vegetables are high in potassium,
and as an added bonus, they are low in calories and high in fiber.
Other salts include calcium and magnesium. Despite some evidence that
these salts may help lower blood pressure, their role is uncertain right now.
For the time being, focus on lowering your sodium intake and adding more
potassium to your diet.
Cut back on fat
You’ve surely heard this one before: restrict your intake of fatty
foods. One of the main reasons for controlling blood pressure is to reduce the
risk of developing atherosclerosis, which leads to heart disease and stroke.
Diets high in saturated fats accelerate atherosclerosis.
Confused? Follow DASH, an ideal diet for persons with hypertension.
DASH stands for Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension. This diet is rich in
low-fat dairy products, calcium, potassium, magnesium, fiber, and vitamins. And
don’t keep the fun all to yourself; following DASH is good for everyone. Put
your whole family on DASH. After all, if you have hypertension, it’s likely
someone else in your family is at risk as well.
Cut back on the hooch, and quit smoking already
Drink less alcohol. Excess alcohol intake contributes to hypertension,
reduces the effectiveness of blood pressure medications, and increases the risk
for stroke.
Need guidelines? Adult men should limit their daily intake to 24 ounces
of beer, 10 ounces of wine, or 2 ounces of 100-proof whiskey. Women and
lightweight males should consume only half these amounts. A note of caution: A
heavy drinker who suddenly stops consuming all alcohol may develop higher blood
pressure for a few days.
Stop smoking. Now. The nicotine in cigarettes raises blood pressure
with every puff.
Need help? Consider nicotine replacement products. These stop-smoking
aids don’t contain enough nicotine to raise blood pressure. Need more help? The
Centers for Disease Control maintains a list of resources to help you quit
smoking.
Don’t believe the hype
As with any disease, hypertension has its share of stories about
miracle cures and remedies. Make sure you’re not putting your money and energy
into a treatment that won’t work.
Myth: Garlic and onion reduce blood pressure
You may have heard that diets high in garlic and onion will lower your
blood pressure. Scientific studies have failed to show that these foods have
any consistent effect on blood pressure. Don’t endure garlic or onion breath to
lower your blood pressure—they don’t work.
Myth: To bring down blood pressure, just relax
While it is true that emotions like stress and anxiety can temporarily
raise blood pressure, relaxation-training therapies including biofeedback and
meditation have not been scientifically proven to reduce hypertension. And
learning these techniques can be pricey. You might do better investing your
time and money in a good pair of walking shoes, a bicycle helmet, or a
swimsuit.
Myth: People with high blood pressure shouldn’t drink coffee
Go ahead, enjoy that cup of joe. The caffeine in a cup of coffee may
temporarily increase blood pressure, but the long-term effects are not harmful.
Stay informed
There is a lot we don’t know about hypertension. The huge amount of
research underway is bound to expand our knowledge and the arsenal of tools we
use to fight hypertension in the coming months and years. Stay informed of
developments when they occur. Read, surf credible Web sites, and watch the
news. When you learn of something new that might relate to you, first ask your
doctor about it.
On the Web, the American Heart Association offers extensive information
about the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension. The National Institutes of
Health publishes “Your Guide to Lowering High Blood Pressure,” a comprehensive
site with quizzes and a community group to help you learn more tips for reducing
hypertension.
