Epidemiologist Warren Winkelstein of the University of California, Berkeley, offered some slight encouragement, suggesting that public education campaigns have slowed the spread of the infection. While the number of AIDS cases is still increasing among homosexual men in San Francisco, he said, the rate of new infections declined from an 18% increase each year between 1982 and 1984 to only about a 4% rise last year. Winkelstein attributes the drop to "safe sex" practices like using condoms. Similar declines have been recorded among gay men and intravenous drug users in Baltimore. Said Dr. Frank Polk of the Johns Hopkins School...

...keep restless stomachs constantly occupied, Dr. Winkelstein rigs up a quart-sized can high over each patient's bed, fills it with lukewarm milk to which a level teaspoon of soda has been added. One end of a long, latex tube attached to the bottom of the can is swallowed by the patient. The tube, which is very soft, and scarcely larger than macaroni, is easy to swallow, does not keep the patient from sleeping, can even be used in the day time while he sits in a chair. The milk drips into his stomach constantly, its flow controlled...
Patients with severe ulcers, said Dr. Winkelstein, must stay in bed for at least three weeks, are given no food, only constant drip treatment of three quarts of milk daily. Those who cannot tolerate milk are given a mild solution of aluminum hydroxide or phosphate gel. Once the ulcers start to heal, patients can have three good-sized bland meals a day, must use the drip for an hour after each meal, continue it until an hour before the next. They must keep the drip tube in their stomachs all night for many months...
Many of Dr. Winkelstein's patients were old men with severe ulcers of ten to 35 years' standing. Their excruciating night pains were relieved, and their ulcers disappeared, "rapidly and often completely." Great practical importance of the treatment is that it is cheap. Anybody can use it at home with an ordinary enema can for a container, a coat rack for a prop...
