Chiropractic Health Hints
WITH DR. STANLEY LEVINE, D.C.
BACKACHE AND ITS RELATIONSHIP
TO VAROUS HEALTH PROBLEMS
Backache is one of man's most common ailments and complaints.
Besides being a real pain in the back, backache can be a hint of future health
problems or an actual reflex symptom of a current disorder. How can this
be? What relationship does the spine have to health?
The nervous system is the main control of the body and disturbances
of that system are primary factors in the development of disease processes.
Disrelationships between the spinal segments (vertebrae) can cause func-
tional disorders in the body. These displacements of the vertebrae (called
subluxations) occur frequently and are a specific cause of nerve irritation.
DR. LEVINE
When there is irritation to a specific nerve or group of nerves that supply
the control to a certain organ or part of the body, there will be disfunction, and thus, the breakdown
of natural resistance and the beginning of disease.
Backaches often bring people to a chiropractor for the first time. Through this introduction,
they have learned that chiropractic care is not limited to back disorders. They have found that the
science of chiropractic can solve many and varied health problems.

New York (JTA) — A
meeting last Friday between
Pope John Paul II and
Palestine Liberation Organ-
ization leader Yasir Arafat
has provoked anger and pro-
test among Jewish groups
here.
"Such a meeting raises the
most profound concerns
within the Jewish commun-
ity worldwide and con-
stitutes a serious setback to
the cause of mutual under-
standing and respect," the
main Jewish group dealing
with the Vatican said in a
letter of protest to Ar-
chbishop Edward Cassidy,
president of the Vatican's
Commission on Religious
Relations With the Jews.
The letter was signed by
Seymour Reich, who chairs
IJCIC, the International
Jewish Committee for Inter-
religious Consultations. The
umbrella group represents
B'nai B'rith International,
the Synagogue Council of
America, the World Jewish
Congress and the Israel
Interfaith Center.
The meeting, which will be
the pope's third with Arafat,
is viewed as "compromising
the moral stature of the
pope," Reich said in the
letter.
The PLO remains "a ter-
rorist organization that has
not yet rescinded its cove-
nant calling for the destruc-
tion of Israel —that has tried
to block Soviet Jews from
coming to Israel — and has
threatened those countries
whose airlines are coop-
erating in the airlift of
Soviet Jewish to Israel,"
Reich contended in a state-
ment accompanying the
letter.
IJCIC leaders are par-
ticularly miffed they were
not informed of the meeting
from the Vatican and in-
stead learned about it from
reports in the news media.
After the pope's controver-
sial meeting with Austrian
President Kurt Waldheim in
June 1987, the Vatican
agreed to cooperate with the
Jewish leaders to avoid such
surprises and
misunderstandings.
The Vatican's failure this
time to give advance warn-
ing of the Arafat meeting is
viewed by IJCIC "as not only
substantively harmful to the
cause of dialogue, but wholly
inconsistent with the
agreed-upon procedural
mechanism designed to
avoid such tensions," the
group said.
The strain over the Arafat
visit comes just as Catholic-
Jewish wounds were healing
over the presence of a group
of Carmelite nuns on the
grounds of the former
Auschwitz death camp. Con-
struction has begun on an
interfaith prayer and edu-
cation center away from the
camp, where the nuns will
be relocated.
With that issue resolved,
IJCIC had been planning
two meetings with the Vat-
ican in the autumn, in-
cluding its first full-scale
consultation with the Com-
mission on Religious Rela-
tions With the Jews since
1985.
On March 18, the pope
held an audience with a
delegation from the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, the
first Jewish group to meet
with him since the convent
flap. "Clearly the papal au-
dience for the American
Jewish Committee was a
setup to blind-side us with
the Arafat meeting," said
Elan Steinberg, executive
director of the World Jewish
Congress.
But Rabbi A. James
Rudin, AJCommittee's di-
rector of interreligious af-
fairs, said he "refused to ac-
cept" Steinberg's sugges-
tion. On the contrary, Rudin
said that he was glad his
delegation got the chance to
meet with the pope before
his meeting with Arafat.
"I think it would have
been worse if he met with
Arafat and we had not met
with him March 18 and
stressed the need for full
Vatican-Israel relations,"
Rudin said.
The Vatican has never
recognized or had diplomatic
relations with the Jewish
state.

Jerusalem (JTA) — Only
175 immigrants have settled
in the administered ter-
ritories over the last 12 mon-
ths, according to an internal
Jewish Agency report leaked
to Ha' aretz.
An additional 1,300 immi-
grants have settled in por-
tions of Jerusalem lying
beyond the Green Line, ter-
ritory formerly controlled by
Jordan.
All of those olim were in

gram, which bypasses the
