After 20 years of study, Drs. Eli Moschowitz and Mata B. Roudin wrote their formula down: "Constitution times psychologic trauma gives hyperkinesis which results in psychosomatic disease." Translation: mental or emotional shock makes certain organs overactive; the patient's personality determines which organs will be affected. The kind of personality, rather than the kind of shock, is the key. The same kind of shock (e.g., death of a relative or loss of a job) might give one type of man stomach ulcers, another, ulcerative colitis. In the current New York State Journal of Medicine, Drs. Moschowitz and Roudin wrapped...
...coldly comforting thought: Drs. Moschowitz and Roudin found only two cases of the same person with both hyperthyroidism and cardiospasm, only one with both high blood pressure and cardiospasm, none of cardiospasm plus colonic disorders, none of stomach ulcer plus nonspecific ulcerative colitis...
...stiffness of muscles: infantile paralysis, cerebral palsy, chronic rheumatism, arthritis, Parkinson's disease (paralysis agitans), apoplexy, Pott's disease (tuberculosis of the spine), hardening of the arteries. The doctors tried the drug, given by mouth, on 59 patients; all but one showed improvement-sometimes in five minutes. Drs. Berger and Schwartz consider their work still in the experimental stage...
...atomic-energy by-product (radioactive sodium) is being used to study blood circulation. Drs. Myron Prinzmetal and Eliot Corday of Los Angeles' Cedars of Lebanon Hospital inject the sodium into a patient's veins, place a Geiger counter over the heart, record the appearance of the tagged blood on a special machine. Their method, they reported, spots enlarged hearts sooner than any other...

The most likely sufferers are reliable, conscientious, hardworking, ambitious people. They want everything just right, so they overload themselves with responsibilities and then get tense when they find that they can't finish the outsize jobs they have tackled. Their "pernicious emotional states" make the arteries in their heads swell, causing the excruciating pain of migraine...
