Hunger Is Psychic Pain Says Doctor After Fast
Chicago December seven hunger, even to death by starvation, causes little pain beyond psychic distress, says Dr. A J Carlson of the University of Chicago after five days of voluntary fasting before the National Academy of Sciences. He reports that hunger stems from stomach contraction near the esophagus and can be lessened by mental adjustment. He notes tonics and bitters do not affect the stomach and may reduce appetite, while liquor and tobacco worsen it. The pain from starvation is largely imaginary if one can forget the ongoing starvation.
