WHAT IS KNOWN ABOUT SUDDEN INFANT DEATi{
SYNDROME?
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS, most commonly strikes
infants between one and twelve months old. No one knows what
causes it. These infants, about two of every 1,000, simply' die in
their sleep, without any sign that they are ill.
Doctors are now investigating exactly how and why SIDS strikes,
but little is known at present. Certain factors, however, are known
to be associated with SIDS. It seerfis that infants who have died
from SIDS often are boys, twins, were born prematurely to young-
er mothers or to mothers who smoke cigarettes. These factors are
not proven causes yet of SIDS, but they may help in the research
being done.
Itj.known that the deaths are no one's fault. SIDS victims are
cared for as carefully as are most infants, and there is no reason
to believe parental neglect has anything to do with their deaths.
That, in part, is what makes SIDS so baffling.
We have more information about SIDS and how to help the families
who experience it. Please call us or stop by.

Christmas Cheer
By Dwight Gingerich
Grade 7, Zurich Public
The sparkle in the Christmas cheer
Was so bright that Christmas year.
The lights were shining oh so
bright,
Almost as bright as the star on the
Christmas night
The birds are singing that great joy
To every girl and boy.
So lets give a cheer
Because Christmas is here.

Lectures at
university
KIRKTON - Nutritional scien-
tist Elaine Gottschall was guest
lecturer at the Medical Sciences
Building on the University of To-
ronto campus earlier this month.
The author of "Food and the
Gut Reaction" was one of the
speakers at an elective course for
one to four-year medical students.
The course focuses on alternatives
to conventional medical treatment.
Gottschall's lecture was titled "Al-
ternative therapy for inflammato-
ry bowel disease".
In his introduction, the physician
in charge commented that Gotts-
chall's area "should be considered
an adjunct rather than an alterna-
tive to traditional treatment".
During her 90 -minute. talk,
Gottschall explained the structure
of the human gastro-intestinal sys-
tem, and the changes that occur
when illness strikes, stressing the
fact "you can't continue to cat ordi-
nary food if you want to get better".
She told of the circumstances lead-
ing to the writing of her book, and
presented a number of case histo-
ries.
Gottschall described the students'
response as "profound" and "grati-
fying". They were fascinated with
the connection between the brain
and the intestinal tract, and interest-
ed in Gouschall's back-up research.
Many purchased copies of her
book.
Gottschall has been invited back
to lecture again next year. -
