An editorial in the same (Sept.3) issue of The New England Journal suggests an even more intriguing phenomenon associated with the naturally occurring opiates. For some time, it has been thought that the body's morphine-like substances may play a role in pain control. Studies have suggested, in fact, that when pain centers in the brain are stimulated, the naturally occurring morphine-like substances are released. 

Some recent work at the Medical College of Virginia, mean-while, indicates that the pain-relieving effects of morphine itself may not be dueto the injected agent, but rather to the body's own versions of morphine-like compounds that are released when morphine is injected. Further, some other studies at MCV during the past few years suggest that the pain-relieving effects of acupuncture may be due to the release of the internal morphine-like compounds.

Studies elsewhere, meanwhile, suggest that even the so-called placebo effect in pain control - the relief of pain by the suggestion that an entirely innocuous agent will control pain- may be due to the release of the body's own opiate com- [cutoff] 

reported they felt better were then given another agent that blocked the action of the internal opiates. They no longer experienced relief from the supposed painkiller, thus suggest-ing that opiates were released in response to the placebo.

Now there may be a link between the analgesic effects of the internal opiates and body motion, according to The New England Journal editorial, written by Dr. Otto Appenzeller of the University of New Mexico medical school. Rapid body move-ments seem to be linked with the analgesic effect.

Dr. Appenzeller referred to studies of people who practice religious firewalking ceremonies in the Balkans. Giving those people the agent that cancels the effects of the internal opiates doe snot abolish their firewalking capacity, "but an increase in the frequency and rapidity of footsteps on the hot coals is evident," he said.

"In general, movement seems to underlie analgesia; it is important in the drum-induced and dance-induced analgesic trances commonly occurring in shamans in India and perhaps also in the "runner's high," stated Dr. Appenzeller.

The story of the "runner's high," stated is by no means complete, just as the story of the roles of the internal opiates in our lives is not [cutoff]
