The Institutes for The Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP), founded in 1955 by Glenn Doman and Carl Delacato, provides literature on and teaches patterning therapy, which the Institutes promote as improving the "neurologic organization" of "brain injured" and healthy children through diet and exercise.[1][2] It is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with offices and programs offered in several other countries.[2] Pattern therapy has been widely criticized and multiple studies have found the therapy ineffective.[3][4][5][6]
The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential (IAHP, also known as "The Institutes") was founded in 1955.[7] It practices pattern therapy, which was developed by Doman and educational psychologist Carl Delacato.[8] Pattern therapy drew upon the ideas and work of ideas of neurophysiologist Temple Fay, former head of the Department of Neurosurgery at Temple University School of Medicine and president of the Philadelphia Neurological Society.[8][9] Fay believed in recapitulation theory, which posits that the infant brain evolves through chronological stages of development similar to first a fish, a reptile, a mammal and finally a human. This theory can be encapsulated as "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny." Recapitulation theory has been largely discredited in biology.[10][11] In 1960, Doman and Delacato published an article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) detailing pattern therapy.[12] The methodology of their study was later criticized.[3][7]
The American Academy of Pediatrics and other organizations have criticized the IAHP's claims of effectiveness, theoretical basis and the demands placed on parents by IAHP programs.[13][14] Early studies originating from IAHP appeared to show some value of their program but were later criticized as significantly flawed.[4][7] Kenneth Kavale and Mark Mostert have written that later studies they believe to have better design and more objectivity have shown pattern therapy "to be practically without merit."[4] In 2015, actor John Travolta donated $100,000 to IAHP in Philadelphia.[15]
The Institutes consider brain damage, intellectual impairment, "mental deficiency," cerebal palsy, epilepsy, austism, athetosis, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, "developmental delay," and Down syndrome as conditions encompassing "brain injury," the term favored by IAHP.[16] According to a 2007 WPVI television news report, IAHP uses the word "hurt" to describe the children they see "with all kinds of brain injuries and conditions, including cerebral palsy, mental retardation, epilepsy, Down's syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism."[17]
Programs for brain-injured children[edit]
IAHP's program begins with a five-day seminar for the parents of "brain injured" children, because the program is carried out by parents at their homes.[17] Following the seminar, IAHP conducts an initial evaluation of the child.[17]
The program described in the 1960 JAMA paper (Doman, et al.) for "brain-injured" children included:
- Patterning – manipulation of limbs and head in a rhythmic fashion
- Creeping – forward bodily movement with the abdomen in contact with the floor
- Crawling – forward bodily movement with the abdomen raised from the floor
- Receptive stimulation – visual, tactile and auditory stimulation
- Expressive activities – e.g. picking up objects
- Masking – breathing into a rebreathing mask to increase the amount of carbon dioxide inhaled, which is purported to increase cerebral blood flow
- Brachiation – swinging from a bar or vertical ladder
- Gravity/Antigravity activities – rolling, somersaulting and hanging upside down.[18]
The IAHP claims that brain injury at a given level of neurological development prevents further progress.[7][19] This model of childhood development has been criticized in the scientific community.[20]
Other therapies utilized by IAHP include eye exercises for children who have an eye that converges more than the other when looking at an object in the distance and those who have one eye that diverges more than the other when an object is moved slowly toward the bridge of the nose. IAHP also recommends stimulating the eyes of children with amblyopia by flashing a light on and off. For children with poor hearing, IAHP recommends auditory stimulation with loud noises, which may be pre-recorded. Brain-injured children may also be taught to identify by touch alone various objects placed in a bag.[1]
IAHP recommends dietary restrictions, including reduced fluid intake for brain-injured children in an attempt to prevent "the possible overaccumulation of cerebrospinal fluid." Alongside fluid restriction, IAHP recommends a diet low in salt, sweets, and other "thirst provoking" foods.[1]
In their book Controversial Issues in Special Education, Garry Hornby, Jean Howard and Mary Atkinson state the program also includes "gagging" in which the child breathes into a plastic bag until gasping for breath. This is based on the belief that it will cause maximum use of the lungs and thus maximize oxygen circulation to the brain.[3] The book concludes that pattern therapy is ineffective and potentially damaging to the functioning of families.[3]
Scientific evaluation[edit]
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, patterning treatment is based on an oversimplified theory of brain development and its effectiveness is not supported by evidence-based medicine, making its use unwarranted.[13] The American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Children With Disabilities issued warnings regarding patterning, one of the IAHP's therapies for brain injured children, as early as 1968[14] and repeated in 1982.[21] Their latest cautionary policy statement was in 1999, which was reaffirmed in 2010[22] states:
This treatment is based on an outmoded and oversimplified theory of brain development. Current information does not support the claims of proponents that this treatment is efficacious, and its use continues to be unwarranted.... [T]he demands and expectations placed on families are so great that in some cases their financial resources may be depleted substantially and parental and sibling relationships could be stressed.[13]
In addition to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a number of other organizations have issued cautionary statements about claims for efficacy of this therapy.[13] These include the executive committee of the American Academy for Cerebral Palsy,[23] the United Cerebral Palsy Association of Texas,[24] the Canadian Association for Retarded Children[25] the executive board of the American Academy of Neurology,[26] and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.[27] Hornby et al. call R.A. Cummins 1988 book The Neurologically Impaired-child: Doman-Delacato Techniques Reappraised (Croom Helm, ISBN 9780709948599), "The most comprehensive analysis of the rationale and effectiveness of the Doman-Delacato programme to date" and state Cummins uses neuroanatomy and neurophysiology to demonstrate that there is no sound scientific basis for the techniques used by the IAHP and concludes any benefit is likely due to increased activity and attention. Hornby et al. conclude, "It is now clear that the only results supporting the effectiveness of the programme come from a handful of early, poorly controlled studies."[3] Kavale and Mostert and others also identified serious problems with the early research on the IAHP program.[4][8] An analysis of higher quality studies found that students not receiving the treatment had better outcomes than those who were treated by the IAHP.[4]
The IAHP has asserted in the past that it was willing and interested in participating in controlled scientific studies. [28] The IAHP has instructed parents of children in their program not to take part in any independent studies designed to evaluate the program's effectiveness.[3] The IAHP withdrew its agreement to participate in a "carefully designed study supported by federal and private agencies" when the study was in its final planning stages.[8] According to Herman Spitz, "The IAHP no longer appears to be interested in a scientific evaluation of their techniques; they have grown large, wealthy, and independent, and their staff is satisfied to provide case histories and propaganda tracts in support of their claims."[8] Similarly Terrence M. Hines stated that they "have shown very little interest in providing empirical support for their methods."[7]
A 15 patient 2012 Norwegian cost analysis of an unproven intensive training treatment for brain damage that included 11 patients treated by IAHP found the treatment regimen not cost effective. The authors expressed doubt that the treatments could achieve adequate benefits to be cost effective and concluded that health care services should only fund these treatments for clinical trials.[29] A 2013 study found the claims of superior results of treatment by the IAHP were not substantiated.[6]
A 2006 retrospective study of 21 children by the IAHP and others of children with cortical visual impairment found significant improvement after use of the program the study had no control group.[30] Norum et al. stated regarding this study, "...any proof of effectiveness cannot be obtained from a non-randomized study."[29]
Doctors Martha Farrell Erickson and Karen Marie Kurz-Riemer wrote that IAHP "capitalized on the desires of members of the 'baby boom' generation to maximize their children's intellectual potential" and "encouraged parents to push their infants to develop maximum brain power." But most contemporary child development experts "described many aspects of the program as useless and perhaps even harmful."[31] Kathleen Quill concluded that that "professionals" have nothing to learn from pattern therapy.[32] Pavone and Ruggieri have written that pattern therapy does not have an important role in treatment.[33] Neurologist Steven Novella has characterized pattern therapy as being based on a discarded theory and a "false cure."[34] He also wrote that IAHP's unsubstantiated claims can cause both financial and emotional damage.[34] While detailing criticism of pattern therapy, Robards also wrote that the therapy caused pediatricians and therapists to recognize that early intervention programs are necessary.[5]

The Mechanism and New Approach on Drug Resistance of Cancer Cells: Proceedings of the International Symposium on the Mechanism and New Approach on D (International Congress Series)
One of the most important problems of cancer treatment today is the drug resistance of various cancer cells. Although the first course of chemotherapy may destroy most of the cancer cells, a few resistance cells may survive and proliferate. In some patients, despite more aggressive second and third courses of chemotherapy, the remaining resistant cells may regrow and ultimately kill the patient. Though the problem of drug resistance in clinical settings is complex, considerable progress has been achieved in the field of basic research by molecular, biological, and biochemical approaches, thus clarifying the mechanisms of pleiotropic drug resistance. These findings in clinical cancer chemotherapy can be utilized to overcome the drug resistance of cancer cells, and subsequently cure cancer patients. Several problems remain that should be analyzed and resolved in the near future. The results presented in this proceedings volume clearly enhance our knowledge of the mechanism of drug resistance in cancer cells. In recent years, the progress which has been made in the field of cancer chemotherapy has been remarkable, but various questions still have to be solved before a complete cure can be achieved with chemotherapy. New therapeutic approaches targeting drug resistance mechanisms have been studied in the clinical field of cancer chemotherapy and this book further contributes to the progress in clinical research on the circumvention of drug resistance. Such progress suggests that the complete response rates of cancer patients will be significantly raised in the near future.

NYFC's 2nd National Leadership Convergence
More than 60 young farmer leaders from 26 states gathered in Encinitas, CA in November for our 2nd annual National Leadership Convergence. From rural mid-Missouri to urban New Orleans, our chapters provide a platform for young farmers and ranchers to tackle the challenges they face building careers in agriculture. The Convergence is an annual celebration of the young farmer leaders who go above and beyond in their communities, fighting isolation and barriers to success through grassroots network building and policy change.
For three days this November, our leaders learned critical organizing and advocacy principles, shared best practices from their home chapters, and built relationships with like-minded farmers. Chapter leaders left the Convergence feeling more connected to the national coalition, equipped with new skills, and energized to grow their chapters' capacity to make change.
"My motivation to organize has never been greater," said Matt Coffay, co-leader of the Western North Carolina Young Farmers Coalition and farmer at Second Spring Market Garden. "I plan to redouble my efforts with the WNC chapter and start looking at state level policy alongside the Farm Bill as we move forward over the next year." (more…)
Q&A with Mary Stuart Masterson and Jeremy Davidson
On April 10, a group of farmers will take the stage at BAM in Brooklyn. Or rather, well-known actors will portray real farmers from the Hudson Valley, a circumstance even more improbable in the life of most farmers, who don't usually experience fame beyond their own farmers market tables.
The production, called GOOD DIRT, was created by Mary Stuart Masterson (At Close Range,Fried Green Tomatoes) and Jeremy Davidson (Tickling Leo, The Americans). They're also the founders of Storyhorse Documentary Theater, which they started so they would have a platform to tell the stories of their neighbors in the Hudson Valley and elevate ideas and voices that are often marginalized.
For GOOD DIRT they interviewed farmers from Soul Fire Farm, Green Goats Farm, Northwind Farm, Tello's Green Farm, Denison Family Farm and Hudson Valley Seed Library. The April 10 premiere is a benefit for the National Young Farmers Coalition, and all tickets include admission to an afterparty at BAM where guests can meet some of the farmers and their actor counterparts.
Edible Brooklyn chatted with Mary Stuart and Jeremy about their theater project, community storytelling and why farmers deserve more fans. Read the interview here.
National Convergence: 29 chapter leaders
Last week was a momentous one for the National Young Farmers Coalition: we hosted our first National Chapter Leader Convergence, an event that brought the leaders of 25 chapters from 25 states together for three days of education, sharing, and momentum-building. NYFC was founded in 2010 to give young farmers a united voice as advocates for their own interests and to facilitate community building on the local and national level. Chapters serve both of these purposes.
A farmer who is 25 or 35 will often find that she is the youngest farmer in her community by a margin of two decades or more. Farming can be a fundamentally solitary profession, and this age gap (the average American farmer is 58.3 years old) can further isolate young farmers, preventing them from building a community of peers who are facing similar struggles. Chapter organizing offers farmers a way to find each other, build community, work together on difficult farm projects, and advocate for local and national policy change. (more…)
Young farmers visit Capitol Hill and USDA
Last Wednesday farmers from six states converged on Washington, D.C. for a whirl-wind round of meetings on Capitol Hill and at USDA. The event, known as a "fly-in," was organized by the National Young Farmers Coalition to give young farmers a chance to advocate in person for the #FarmingIsPublicService campaign, which asks Congress to add farmers to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program. The fly-in was made possible with support from Applegate, a natural and organic meat company dedicated to supporting farmers.
Farmers who participated in the fly-in include:
- Emily Eckhardt, livestock manager at Swallowtail Farm in Alachua, Florida.
- Lizz Wysocki, farm manager at Zilke Vegetable Farm in Milan, Michigan.
- Dustin Stein, owner of Stubborn Farm in Mancos, Colorado.
- Calvin Andersen, co-owner of Grow Local farm in Neenah, Wisconsin.
- Peter Stocks, who farms with his family on their eighth-generation farm in Dalton City, Illinois.
- Brittany Arrington and David Rodriguez, who operate Zajac Farm in Columbus, Pennsylvania, which has been in David's family for more than 100 years.
Each of the farmers who participated have student loan debt that is impacting their ability to build successful farming careers. And they aren't alone. A survey conducted by NYFC points to student loan debt as one of the key barriers contributing to a shortage of young farmers. Among NYFC survey respondents, 30% said their student loans were preventing or delaying them from making farming their career and 28% said student loan pressure has prevented them from growing their farm business.
Land trusts: apply now to attend national land access training
The National Young Farmers Coalition and Equity Trust are convening our second-annual Land Access Innovation Training, aimed at helping land trusts utilize tools to protect farmland affordability. The training will take place on Sunday, October 11, 2015 in Sacramento, California from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.
This one-day, in-person training is aimed at staff from land trusts with a high degree of commitment to protecting working farms and sufficient capacity to move forward in the implementation of farm protection projects that incorporate affordability innovations. You can read more about last year's training here and see a list of this year's presenters here.
Land trust participants will receive coaching on funding strategies; monitoring and enforcement; legal considerations; and easement enhancements and ground leases that preserve affordability and active farming. This year's presenters include Equity Trust, The Vermont Land Trust, South of the Sound Community Farmland Trust, and others!
The training is free for attendees thanks to the generous support of the Cedar Tree Foundation, UNFI, and the Lydia B. Stokes Foundation. There are a limited number of slots, so those interested in attending must fill out an application. Applications are due Friday, August 21st, 2015.
NYFC will also host a workshop for farmers October 7 in Sacramento, California titled "Partnering with a Land Trust to Access Affordable Farmland." This workshop will help teach farmers some of the innovative ways they can partner with a land trust to access land. The event will be presented by NYFC in collaboration with Equity Trust, CA FarmLink, and Farmers Guild. Details coming soon.
New case studies highlight successful partnerships between farmers and land trusts
Finding affordable land continues to be one of the biggest barriers facing beginning farmers and ranchers. Land trusts, which have long preserved farmland from development, are in a unique position to help new farmers access land. As NYFC found in our 2013 report, Farmland Conservation 2.0, land trusts across the country are seeing the need to increase their efforts to keep farmland affordable and accessible to the next generation of farmers.
Over the past year, NYFC has been working with land trust partners across the country to scale up innovative conservation models that permanently protect America's working farmland and keep the land in the hands of farmers. NYFC is pleased to have partnered with California FarmLink on their recent publication, Conservation and Affordability of Working Lands: Nine Case Studies of Land Trusts Working with Next-Generation Farmers.
The case studies highlight the innovative tools and strategies land trusts are using to partner with young farmers and secure the working land base. Most of the case studies are from California, with two examples from Massachusetts and Washington State. Some of the featured land trusts own land that they lease back to farmers, in some cases incorporating the innovative "ground lease" model through which the organization owns the land and the farmer has a lifetime lease along with ownership of the infrastructure. Other case studies demonstrate the use of easement tools such as affirmative language (which requires the land to be in agricultural production) and the option to purchase at agricultural value (which helps ensure the land stays in the hands of a farmer when it is sold.)
NYFC is excited to host our second annual Land Access Innovations Training in Sacramento, California this fall to educate land trusts on these tools. For more information, contact our land access campaign manager, Holly Rippon-Butler. Check out the Equity Trust website for sample easements and leases.

PRESS ADVISORY: National Day of Action to Save Local Farms
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 18th, 2013
PRESS ADVISORY: National Day of Action to Save Local Farms will bring together farmers, consumers to change proposed FDA food safety rules that threaten farm viability
HUDSON, NY – On Sunday, October 20th farmers and consumers from across the country will take action to change the FDA's draft food safety rules. Activists will gather at farms, schools and grange halls to educate each other on the impact of the proposed rules and write comments to the agency. Dozens of events are happening in 28 states between now and early November. The Day of Action is sponsored by the National Young Farmers Coalition and the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition.
Select Events and Organizer Quotes:
Action in Eyota, Minnesota at private home (10/21/13)
"We're always looking to make sure our food is healthy and safe, and we believe that small farms are part of the solution to healthy, safe food–not part of the problem!" – Hannah Breckbill, Organizer and Farmer at Humble Hands Harvest
Action in Paonia, Colorado at Downtown Public Library (10/20/13)
"Because food safety issues are uniquely different for small farms, FSMA's current one size fits all approach poses a threat to small-scale agriculture," says Kacey Kropp, Farmer at First Fruits Organic Farms and Organizer. "The goal of writing these letters to the FDA is to illuminate the worth of sustainable, already safe and locally sourced foods from small farms."
Action in Albuquerque, NM at the Rio Grande Community Farm (10/24/13)
"As an economically challenged state, with a number of exceptional challenges to farmers like erratic and limited water supplies, writing to the FDA to comment on FSMA is particularly important to the Rio Grande Farmers Coalition. What may seem like a financial drop in the bucket for large, industrial farm and food operations can sink a small family farm, an artisan food producer, or a food hub." – Sarah Wentzel-Fisher, Organizer
Action in Lansing, Michigan at private home (10/25/13)
"I'm utilizing my birthday to entice friends with food and drink to have them write comment letters to the FDA on how it will affect their farming operations or farms that they patron regularly," says Alex Bryan, Farmer at Food Field and Organizer.
"FSMA has the potential, as written, to derail most everything I've spent the last 5 years of my life working for…Not only will this impact my livelihood and way of life, but it threatens the very nature of regional food sovereignty. I care about my community's future and cannot sit idly by while these rules are put in place. I just hope that the FDA will continue listening, adapting and changing to the needs of smaller, younger, beginning farmers."
Action in East Berlin, Pennsylvania at Everblossom Farm (10/26/13)
"These proposed rules stand to change how we farm and run our businesses, so it is imperative that we make time to tell our stories to the FDA. I hope this Day of Action will rally together farmers and consumers to make change with our collective voices!" –Emily Best, Farmer at New Morning Farm and Organizer
Action in Sonoma, California at the Sonoma Valley Grange Hall (10/27/13)
"The issues facing young farmers today are too daunting to grapple with alone, so we're uniting our communities to inform and empower them to take a stance with us on these rules that could gravely effect their future success doing what most needs done: feeding us." –Evan Wiig, Farmer at True Grass Farms and Organizer
Action in Peterborough, New Hampshire at Wells School (11/9/13)
"By submitting comments to the FDA we take a proactive stance toward shaping the landscape that we will have to work within down the road," says Ray Connor of Evandale Farm and Organizer. "If we miss this opportunity to take action now, we will spend the rest of our careers reacting to whatever rules are imposed on us."
In 2011, President Obama signed into law the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) — mandating the first overhaul to U.S. food safety laws since 1938. The USDA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released 3,500 page of rules in the spring, covering all aspects of a produce farm operation – everything from water testing to soil amendments and worker training. In the words of former U.S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan, the new rules have the potential to "destroy some operations." In fact, for many diversified farms, the average annual cost to comply with the proposed rules is about half or more of what many farmers might, in a good year, expect in profits.

Spring in the Allegheny Plateau comes later than most other places. Most of April is drab here, but toward the end of the month, and in early May, the earth awakens. These are some photos from West Virginia photographer Frank Ceravalo taken on his visit at the Bright Morning Inn last week. It shows the delicacy of this underappreciated season. Though it's not as showy as fall foliage season, spring is a special time here, made more special because of our harsh winters. Don't miss it!

Early Spring in Canaan…Almost HeavenTuesday, May 3rd, 2016
Ta-dum…Ta-dum…It's getting closer. Corridor H that is.Friday, June 26th, 2015
There's nothing like a shiny new highway to brighten the eyes of developers and land speculators. And in West Virginia, the newest of all new highways is Route 48, an east-west thorofare that when complete will link I-79 in central WV with I-81 and the Shenandoah Valley. And it's already caused a few land booms (and busts) along the way.
The road has been in the works for many years, as part of a system of needed "corridors" identified by the Appalachian Regional Commission. The plan was to improve transportation infrastructure in this most tortuous of states, and it has largely succeeded.
This year, finally, Corridor H (as it's known locally) is almost at Davis and Thomas. It's an impressive undertaking, as it cuts through the mountains from Wardensville, past Moorefield, and up the Allegheny Front to this high plateau we call home. It passes through green rolling pastures, craggy rock outcroppings (with picturesque goats!) and foggy crests.
Will it bring in more tourists? Probably. It certainly makes the drive easier (and a bit faster) for travelers from Washington, DC and helps locals driving to distant jobs, airports and shopping expeditions.
Will it get finished? There are still gaps, including an important crossing of the Blackwater Canyon and a stretch in Virginia that may be years from completion.
Will we all get rich? That remains to be seen. It will require tough decisions to shape growth and development in a way that benefits everyone. But if we're lucky, we will be able to preserve what is worthwhile about this beautiful area while improving our economy. Stay tuned!
Cobbler Season: Bumper Blackberry Crop Ahead!Saturday, June 20th, 2015
Picking blackberries each summer is one of the simple pleasures of living in Davis, WV. For many of us, walking dogs on the edge of town means checking out the progress of the amazing blackberries that grow here in such abundance. In early June, roads and trails are positively lined with blackberry stalks, each thick with blossoms. In July and August, when the berries ripen, mounds of bear scat appear on the trails. Bear love berries, and eat tons of them, but there are still plenty left for human picking.
This year's crop appears bigger than usual, if that's possible. An old timer once told me that as a child he and his cousin picked 98 GALLONS of blackberries one summer, for his uncle, who made wine.
I make cobbler, using a simple crust recipe from Mimi Kibler of La Fontaine Bakery. It was her mother's. It's perfect with ice cream and makes a nice supper (or breakfast) if you're too tired to cook. It's these simple pleasures that we appreciate living here on the edge of the great outdoors.
Blackberry Cobbler
5 cups blackberries
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 t. baking powder
1 t. salt
1 egg
1/3 cup melted butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix berries with cornstarch and sugar, add to 9" baking dish.
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
Add egg to dry mixture and barely stir to combine. (Using fingers works best)
Sprinkle crumbly mixture over fruit.
Drizzle with melted butter.
Sprinkle top with dash of cinnamon.
Bake 45 minutes.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
They were teaching STEM before STEM was cool!Saturday, June 13th, 2015
Unlikely as it may seem, in 1963 a small group of forward-thinking West Virginians created one of the most successful STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) education programs in the country. It is the National Youth Science Camp, which for over 50 years has brought together the top science students from every state for four weeks of intensive study and outdoor recreation. A program free to the aspiring scientists, and run by a dedicated staph (their word), the camp is a bona fide success story. Of its alumni, 45% have achieved doctorates, and 85% are working in STEM-related occupations.
Plans are now underway for the camp, and the National Youth Science Foundation that runs it, to move to a permanent home in Tucker County, on the edge of Davis, WV, and near Blackwater Falls. The goal is to construct a National Center for Youth Sciences Education that will improve and expand existing programs with permanent year-round facilities.
It's a brilliant idea. Tucker County is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled areas in our state, surrounded by nearly a million acres of Monongahela Forest and close to two National Wilderness areas. It's a great location for recreation and will provide a fantastic laboratory for environmental education. To find out more go the NYSF website, and if you're inclined, donate to their cause. With their proven track record, it's a sound investment, and a patriotic way for you to help move our nation's STEM education forward.
It's Official: Blackwater Bikes Changes HandsTuesday, June 9th, 2015
After weeks of speculation it's finally official: Blackwater Bikes, the well-known bike shop in downtown Davis, WV has a new owner — and he's getting the sign repainted!
The little shop on Route 32 has been the center of mountain biking activity in the region for many years and a sponsor of numerous rides and races. The shop has an impressive history. The new owner, Rob Stull, replaces Roger Lily, who took over from Gary Berti and Matt Marcus, who bought the place from Laird Knight, who founded the shop in 1982. Whew! All were and are dedicated mountain biking riders and enthusiastic champions of the sport.
Laird's company, Granny Gear Productions, was nationally known for mountain bike promotions and founded the popular 24 Hours of Canaan race, which was scuttled after the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge eliminated many of the valley's trails.
The shop is well located in downtown Davis, sandwiched between Sirianni's Cafe and the Bright Morning Inn, and a stone's throw from Hellbender Burritos.
Rob will continue selling bikes and gear, running rentals, servicing equipment, and sponsoring rides and races in the area, including the upcoming Canaan MTB Festival June 18-21. And he wants to hear from riders about how they would like to see the shop evolve. His first act, besides giving the place a good sweep, has been to freshen up the peeling paint on the shop's sign and post his new summer hours: Mon-Sat 10-5 and Sunday 10-4.
Splashdam Trail: Purdiest Trail in 48 States!Sunday, June 7th, 2015
As if there weren't enough great hiking and biking trails in Tucker County, WV, there's a newish one, the beautiful and accessible "Splashdam Trail" which leads now from the bridge in downtown Davis, WV along the Blackwater River about 4.5 miles. The trail is extraordinarily beautiful in a place where there's already plenty of pretty trails. It's extraordinary because of the variety of ecosystems it covers. It passes through fern meadows, mossy boulders, a wickedly beautiful stream called "Devil's Run" and impressive rhododendron thickets. For most of its length it follows close to the Blackwater River, providing views of the river's whitewater that just weren't available until now.
Almost as impressive as the scenery are the kick-ass trail-building skills on display. The techniques used are first-class, efforts begun several years ago by Ken Dzaack, a consummate trail engineer with a fine eye for beauty. Ken began the project when the land was owned by the Canaan Valley Institute. The land is now owned and managed by the WV Department of Natural Resources, and is part of the Little Canaan Wildlife Management Area. The trail was finished through the efforts of the Heart of the Highlands organization, a group building a trail to link Davis, Thomas and Canaan Valley and hopefully join up with other major trail networks in the region. The effort, which requires cooperation from numerous landholders, is a long slog, but there are dedicated and talented people behind it (Ken's wife Julie, for one), and some federal money, which never hurts.
The Splashdam Trail skirts the southern bank of the Blackwater River, away from the majority of established trails, in an area that is basically pristine and little used. It is used by hikers and experienced mountain bikers, mostly locals, who use it to access other trails south of town.
Visitors to the Bright Morning Inn are always looking for hiking ideas and right now, the Splashdam Trail is one of my top picks. It's beautiful, it's close and makes a perfect day trip from town. And with the newest section now complete, you don't have to drive to locate the trailhead.
While you're at it, check out another local treasure, the "Smallest Church in 48 States," nine miles north on Rt. 219 in Silver Lake, WV. It's really named "Our Lady of the Pines Catholic Church" and features an altar and twelve one-seat pews across an aisle. Built in the 50's as a family church it's a peaceful spot set among beautiful gardens, including masses of blooming lily-of-the-valley in springtime.
Pet Friendly Accommodations: Now I get it!Saturday, May 30th, 2015
Even though I have owned the Bright Morning Inn for fifteen years now, and have accommodated people's dogs for many years, I never really understood what all the fuss was about…until now. Because now I own a dog, too, and it's crazy how much I love her!
Davis, WV is a particularly dog-centric kind of town. It is surrounded by miles and miles of fantastic trails and gravel roads perfect for running dogs. There are creeks for swimming, geese for chasing and muddy bogs for wallowing. There are blueberries to hunt in the summer (dogs love them) and amazing snow drifts to leap through in winter.
At the Bright Morning Inn we accept quiet well-behaved dogs only. And in all these years we've had very few problems. It seems that people don't like to travel with crazy dogs. Imagine that! We don't take cats, however, as there are way too many people allergic to cats and they can, well, climb on things. Not good in a public space.
I don't keep my dog Ssoula at the inn too much. She's good but not entirely well behaved. Still, she has brought me so much joy that I can't quite imagine life without her, which is just what my guests have been feeling all these years, too.
Hunting Chaga in the West Virginia WoodsWednesday, May 20th, 2015
It's a mushroom, it's a fungus, it's a parasite. It's chaga, and it's plentiful in the northern mountains of West Virginia. Known for it's medicinal properties, chaga is brewed into tea that some people believe will boost your immune system and fight cancer. I have no experience with that. But I do know it's fun to hunt, fun to collect and when you drink it, it tastes like the forest.
Chaga grows on yellow birch trees found in northern forests. Here in the woods surrounding Davis, WV, such trees are numerous.
The bark of yellow birch trees isn't really yellow, more like a dull greyish green. But it's clearly papery and birch like, and relatively easy to spot. The trees are also found in the woods ringing the Canaan Valley, in Dolly Sods and in much of the Monongahela Forest.
Hunting for chaga requires patience and persistence, and a few tools, as it has to be pried from the tree. To brew into tea, the flesh is then dried and ground into powder, or, if you're lazy, small chunks can simply be steeped in hot water (not boiled). This is the preferred method of local folks, who have turned many people onto chaga over the years. The resulting brew is an excellent tonic after skiing or exercise. It makes you feel refreshed, and connected to nature somehow. Maybe it's just the hydration, who knows.
There's much to be learned on the internet about chaga, if you're interested. But the most important thing to know is that getting out in the woods, whether hunting for chaga or not, is always good for you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inonotus_obliquus
West Virginia Mine Wars Museum Opens May 16thTuesday, May 5th, 2015
West Virginia, and much of Appalachia, has a conflicted relationship with the coal industry. It's an industry that provided and still provides good paying jobs in an area where employment is scarce. It's an industry that produced pride, in jobs that were necessary, important and challenging. But the price for those jobs has been steep: death, disease and environmental destruction.
In the industry's early years the coal companies held much of the region's political power. Attempts to mobilize miners to improve working conditions and wages were met with stiff resistance. At one point the battles between the two sides became actual wars.
The West Virginia Mine Wars Museum, now under construction in the tiny town of Matewan, WV preserves and interprets artifacts and historical records of the local communities affected by the mine wars, exploring historical events from multiple perspectives through the lives of ordinary people.
The grand opening for the museum is May 16th. You can find out more and even contribute by visiting www.wvminewars.com
It's an important piece of history. Don't miss it.
West Virginia Spring: A Sea of ServiceberryFriday, May 1st, 2015
Spring comes slowly in the northern mountains of West Virginia. Near Davis and Thomas, in Tucker County, we endure a lengthy and dreary mud season when everywhere else is in gorgeous bloom. But by late April, and early May, we are rewarded by a remarkable show of Serviceberry trees. Not just a few, either, but a mass of trees whose delicate blossoms dominate the landscape for weeks.
The show is especially lovely between Davis and Canaan Valley, along Route 32, but in truth it's beautiful nearly everywhere. It's a subtle show, though,
In the mountains we call the Serviceberry "Sarvis" and locals say the name came from the use of these, the first flowers of spring, at church services held by settlers for early circuit-riding preachers. Whether that's true or not I can't say. But it's a good story and one we like to repeat.
The Serviceberry is a valuable tree for wildlife, producing small sweet berries mid summer. Birds, deer, and bear love them, and a small handful will give you a lift when hiking in Dolly Sods.
Still, it's in spring, when the blossoms come, that this unassuming little tree is truly unforgettable.

Serves 4
Woody herbs like bay and rosemary can be used as skewers for meats and vegetables, giving gorgeous flavor to the whole dish. They are especially good with lamb, the natural companion for rosemary.
20-24 baby potatoes, about 1 inch in diameter
4-8 sprigs of rosemary, about 6 inches long
Olive oil, for brushing
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 metal kabob skewer
Strips of foil for wrapping leaves
Wash the potatoes well, then spin them dry in a salad spinner (this will roughen the surface, giving a more crunchy exterior).
Parboil the potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes. Drain, plunge into cold water, then pierce through with a metal skewer.
Trim the rosemary sprigs so the woody part is smooth and just a few leaves remain attached at the end. Wrap the leaves in a twist of foil.
Light an outdoor grill or preheat a broiler. Remove the skewer and replace with a trimmed rosemary sprig, threading 3-5 potatoes on each one.*
Brush with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and grill or broil for 10-15 minutes, turning once, or until cooked through and well browned.
*Note: The sticks can be prepared ahead to this point.

text: OverviewBack to top Brita - Pitcher Water Filtration System Classic Model - 48 oz. Item# :102738UPC# :060258355079 Brand:Brita Size/Form:48 oz. Ship Weight:1.80 Click here to read a PDF brochure on this product Brita - Pitcher Water Filtration System Classic Model - 48 oz.Brita Classic Model Pitcher Water Filtration System is the original Brita pitcher: simple, yet classic design to meet your basic water filtration needs. The Classic Model's smaller size is perfect for personal use or for smaller households. Certified Water Filtration SystemThe Brita Filter's activated carbon and ion exchange resin work together to filter your waer so you get healthier, great-tasting water. Great-tasting drinking water at a fraction of the cost of bottled water. The Brita Filter keeps a healthy level of fluoride, a water additive that promotes strong teeth (applies to fluoridated municipal tap water). Replace filter every 2 months or 40 gallons. Brita Water is Better WaterBrita is the World's #1 Brand of household water filtration. Their advanced technologies transform ordinary tap water into healthier, great-tasting drinking water. The Brita Filter reduces harmful contaminants. How Brita Filters WorkGreat-tasting Brita water begins with Brita filters. The Brita filter's activated carbon and ion exchange resin work together to filter your water so you are left with healthier, great-tasting drinking water. For Brita Faucet Filters, the process is just as simple. When you turn on your faucet, water first passes through stage 1: A non-woven screen around the filter to trap sediment. Then the water flows through stage 2: A compressed block of carbon and zeolite, reducing Chlorine (taste and odor) and Lead. Brita Certification Chemical Source Potential Health Effects Copper Corrosion of household plumbing systems, erosion of natural deposits Short-term: gastrointestinal distressLong-term: liver or kidney damage Mercury Erosion of natural deposits, runoff from landfills and cropland Kidney damage Cadmium Corrosion of galvanized pipes, runoff from waste batteries and paints Kidney damage Why Use a Brita Water Filter? Great-tasting water makes it easier to get your daily doseWhen you drink water regularly, you feel better and more energized. So shouldn't the water you drink taste as good as it feels? That's where Brita comes in. It transforms tap water into healthier, great-tasting drinking water. And the better water tastes, the more you will drink. You don't have to be a connoisseur to taste the difference Brita makes: Improves a cup of coffee, tea, ice cubes, frozen juices and powdered drinks Great for preparing cooked foods and mixing infant formula What Brita filtration systems reduce from tap waterThe quality of U.S. and Canadian tap water is generally quite good. However, some municipalities introduce chlorine as a disinfectant and lead can leach out of household plumbing. Brita™ water filtration systems reduce several common impurities: Pitchers and Dispensers: Reduce Chlorine (taste and odor), Copper, and Mercury — all of which may be found in tap water. Faucet Filtration Systems: Reduce Lead, TTHM, VOCs, lindane (pesticide), 2,4-D, alachlor, atrazine (herbicide), Chlorine (taste and odor) and sediment It's an easy way to help your community and the worldIn spite of having easy access to clean water, the United States is a huge consumer of bottled water. In 2008, the U.S. used enough plastic water bottles to stretch around the earth more than 190 times. It takes 2,000 times more energy to produce a bottle of water than it does to produce tap water. 69% of bottled water containers end up in the trash and not in a recycling container. Brita makes it easier to reduce bottled water waste, save money and go greenOne Brita pitcher filter can effectively replace as many as 300 standard 16.9-ounce bottles. So you can get great-tasting water without so much waste. For about $10 each, you can purchase a 16-ounce or 32-ounce Nalgene bottle, saving you hundreds of dollars a year on bottled water. Plus, one bottle can last for years. Transforming ordinary tap water into healthier, great-tasting waterA tall glass of water can help you feel better and stay healthier. At Brita, they believe it should taste good, too. That's why their filters are designed to reduce the common impurity Chlorine, found in tap water. Use Brita filtered water for cooking, coffee, tea, plants and even for your thirsty pets! Better for your wallet — and for the environmentOver the course of a year, the average Brita pitcher filters 240 gallons of water — or about the same as 1800 standard 16.9-ounce plastic bottles. And one filter can replace 300 bottles of water and save over $600 a year. They believe that a few simple steps — like filtering your water and reducing plastic waste — can create a big impact when everyone does them together. Raising awareness bottle by bottleIn 2007, Brita joined forces with Nalgene to create the FilterForGood program, which encourages consumers to reduce plastic waste by pledging to refill reusable bottles with filtered water. Along the way, they've picked up an amazing and diverse roster of partners such as The Sundance Film Festival, NBC's The Biggest Loser, and Surfrider. Since Brita started, consumers from around the world have pledged to save over 260 million plastic bottles — and counting. Brita historySo how did an idea from a small town in Germany become an international success? It all started in 1966, when West German entrepreneur Heinz Hankammer set out to fulfill his vision of optimizing normal tap water. He began production under a pear tree in the family's garden, affectionately naming the company after his daughter, Brita. More than 45 years later, Brita is now considered a world market leader of home water filtration products.

Of all the tutorials I've made on citation, this is the one the students go back to again and again. They are not as "savvy" when it comes to using MS Word as we might imagine digital natives would be; they need help to understand how to set the ruler and paragraph features. They need an explanation of terms such as "hanging indent." This tutorial helps them with these needs.

2006 Equinox AC Problem
Posted in the Chevrolet Equinox Forum
United States
#1 Jan 14, 2010
Has anyone had this problem? My air works, then vapors come from the vents and the air is not cold anymore. When I turn the AC off for about 10 minutes, then turn it back on-it works-for a while. Sometimes the blower won't blow at high levels and recently the heater was on, even though it was on AC. I have taken it to my local Chevy Dealership and they claim it has no"codes" on their diagnostic machine, freon is good-of course they can never get it to fail. They want me to drive around until it fails and bring it in. Now that I've found this forum it seems A LOT of people have AC problems and Chevy knows about it. Any ideas??? They act like I'm crazy when I tell them about it.
#2 Mar 10, 2010
Yes same problem almost exactly...not sure what it is...
#3 Jul 8, 2010
AC was blowing hot air. Now having a heatwave my husband had to do something for me !!!! Took dash apart nothing to show there. Lifted hood, and there at the firewall , passenger side is a little flap. Lift flap and inside you will find a filter, a proper filter ! Take it out and give it a good blow with air compressor. Ours was full of every dead bug and insect known to man. Replaced filter and Hey Ho my AC now blows cold air instead of hot air. Problem solved. Have to mention, the Chevy.Dealer we phoned for advice did not have the number or the filter in the Equinox manual or computer. He even argued that our Equinox 2006 doesn't even have a filter there ! Well, good news all you with hot air coming from AC = check under the hood, it is amazing what you will find ! Good luck, and hope this helps someone.
#4 Jul 5, 2011
I'm haveing problems with my AC also I have 2011 Equinox witj auto air it locks up and won't cool, I took it in and they said nothing wrong with it they took it apart still nothing wrong, but i guess they didnt listen when i said it was the auto air, has anyone else had this problem?
#5 Aug 3, 2011
I have a 2006 Equinox and ac compressor cuts on and off about every 3-5 seconds but have checked freon and it is NOT low.Tried adding a can but after running for about 3-4 minutes it blew it out the bottom. Has anyone had this problem?
#6 Aug 14, 2011
EXACT same problem I am currently having!!! EXACT! Did you get it figured out? If not, has anyone had this issue? I am pretty sure I will have to replace the compressor, but not sure. Help! 06 Equinox
United States
#7 Jul 5, 2012
I was having the same problem. I took it to chevy they said it was over charged by two lbs! The can gauges he said werent accurate really. They put it at the proper charge and everything is working properly now. Good luck!!
#8 Jul 6, 2012
It could be the AC fan and the electrical line that kicks starts the AC. There are two fans and one of my went out. I notice at first I there was a white fog coming out of the vent with wate particles. My AC wasn't blowing out cold air after about 10 min. when on. I would have to turn it off for a while then turn it back on. Now I have to pay about $750, for the fans and the pig tails (electrial lines) to be fixed. Good luck. I asked the mechanic if this was regular wear and tear, but he said these kind of issues are common with the chevy equinox.
#9 Jul 14, 2012
Debbie, Mine story is exactly the same as yours. I have the same problem. Wish I knew what would fix it.
#10 Jul 23, 2012
I too have had this same problem. Got a letter in the mail from the chevrolet company stating that some 2006's have a problem with a specific part... I brought mine in to the local chevy dealership, and all I was told is that "it seemed to be working fine." No, it isn't working fine when ice crystals blow out of the vents after minutes of the air being on, and then it barely blows until you turn it off for a while! They kept my letter and sent me on my way. No answers and still with a faulty air conditioner!
#11 Jul 25, 2012
I have documented everyone's concerns regarding the air conditioner issues. I would be happy to look into this further if you would like. Please reply to [email protected] and include the your name, VIN, issue, date & location of service appointment, and/or the preferred dealership you would like to work with. I hope everyone's concerns are resolved quickly.

I have had the exact same issues. I have been taking my car to the dealership for several years and I get the same response from the mechanic, either nothing can be found or low on freon. Took it to Firestone over the summer and they said the fan had to be replaced. After paying a little over a grand it worked for a little while and started doing the same thing. Of course Firestone says they can't find anything wrong with it and they claim it blows out temps of 32 degrees. I beg to differ. I have a new born and a wife that were sweltering on our trip to Florida immediately after they had supposedly fixed the issue. Now, winter is here. I have no problem getting cool air and the heater doesn't work. Unfortunately I'm not in the financial position to take it to another shop nor do I have the time and patience to deal with this as it has been ongoing issue. This has definitely been an eye opener on buying a new car...Not Chevy! I like there cars but customer care and denial in flaws of products seem to be an issue.

#13 Mar 11, 2013
Can you post a pic of the location or email one to [email protected] I cannot find this flap.
Fort Huachuca, AZ
#14 Mar 11, 2013
NVM, found the flap. Its a cover piece located between the wiendshield and hood. See video
#15 May 8, 2013
No that doesnt fix it. It only works as a bandaid. We have tried this and it doesnt work. I have videos of it blowing ice chips and white mist out of the vents. GM dealership said we dont know what it is and you have to leave it for a few days to a week for us to tell whats wrong with it. Why do they need my car for a whole week? Secondly there are so many complaints about this until it isnt funny. This needs to be recalled.
#16 Jun 21, 2013
I also have this problem. I have been doing a search on Google and it seems to be very common problem for the 06 Chevy Equinox. I agree that this should be a recall issue.
#17 Jul 1, 2013
After two weeks of talking with Chevrolet/GM on this, I received no help. A word of advice to those people who have this problem with the 06 Equinox: if your car has more than 120,000 miles, you are on your own.
#18 Sep 4, 2013
I have the same problem. I haven't gone to GM on this one, but my auto guy says its likely in the control unit. I'm going to replace console control unit (the 3 dials for fan control, temp and upper/lower baffling). I found it on RockAuto.com for about $180. Hopefully, that does the trick.
#19 Mar 2, 2014
I have had the exact same problem with my 2006 Equinox. Suddenly you start to get "steam" coming out of the A/C ducts after the AC has been on for a while. Then very little air blowing from vents. I imagined that there was ice buildup from humidity freezing inside somewhere. My fix is to turn off the compressor by turning it off manually (snowflake button not illuminated). Then turn temp knob to full hot. When air flow returned to normal, heat off, compressor back on and AC is OK for a while. Now its winter and I have NO HEAT at all. I am reading that it may be an actuator switch or a broken air mixing door. If its the door, the whole dashboard will have to be removed to correct it. It is definitely time to abandon ship. The car has otherwise been OK, but who needs to deal with this nonsense?
#20 Jun 1, 2014
In my 2012 Equinox there is just a little of cold air blowing out, and on the floor vents it blows out a lot. Can any one help me figure out what is wrong. I have looked at some more answers, but not sure. One says it might be the bell housing, are the vent control arm. I don't know I am no air conditioner man.
Looking for more answers, so I can get it fixed. It has never been a problem before.

Jeff's assistance was invaluable as our non-profit sought to lease its first commercial property. We were quickly overwhelmed by the magnitude of the lease but Jeff reviewed the document and patiently walked us through the nuances while taking the time to explain each aspect and the impact upon our organization. He was thorough, responsive, patient and willing to go above and beyond normal actions. In short, Jeff exceeded all of our expectations in providing our organization with counsel and offering recommendations from a non-biased view which helped us realize this deal was not in our best interest. I would not hesitate to call Jeff again to gain his insight nor would I hesitate to recommend his services to others.

What is a FHA Loan ?
Inevitably when searching for a home loan you come across FHA
home loans . There are 6 main FHA loans types and you can read about
all 6 here. For a quick overview FHA loans are designed to get
anyone that normally wouldn't qualify (on a financial equation) for
a typical loan.
The FHA loan program is run by HUD (the Housing and
Urban Development).
For qualified mortgage applicants, the Federal Housing Authority
helps the borrower drastically reduce interest rates or more easily
qualify for a home loan by acting as a guarantor, reducing the
lender's risk and insuring that the homeowner's loan will not enter
into default.
Further, because FHA-insured loans are guaranteed to the lender, the
FHA enforces limits on certain loan fees the lender may charge, and
allows financing many fees in addition to the principal amount of
the loan.
FHA loans also allow the borrower to make extra payments on the
principal of the loan in addition to their regular, monthly payment
at any time.
In exchange, the FHA charges a small percentage of the home's value
at the onset of the mortgage, and requires reasonable monthly or
annual premiums for the mortgage insurance.
FHA LOAN limits Rise 16% for 2008 !
The bottom line is that it means when shopping for a FHA LOAN the
amount you can borrow has risen 16%. This increase is to help
cover the rise of home sales the past few years. It means you are
more house, you wont have to settle for a home that isn't large
enough or allows you to buy a home in a better neighborhood.FHA LOANS

Christmas is right around the corner! As you find yourself surrounded by traditional holiday favorites, here are some interesting tidbits to keep in mind.
- Candy canes may only surface around the holidays, but peppermint is something you should keep in your medicine cabinet year round—especially if you suffer with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Peppermint oil is a proven remedy for relieving pain, gas and bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and other symptoms of this common condition.
In one study, Italian researchers gave patients with IBS either peppermint oil or placebo capsules twice a day. After four weeks, three-quarters of the patients taking peppermint reported a greater than 50 percent improvement in symptoms, compared to just 38 percent of those in the placebo group.
Peppermint oil can cause heartburn in some people, so I suggest taking only enteric-coated capsules, which don't break down until they've passed through the stomach. The dose used in most studies is one to two capsules containing 0.2 mL of oil twice a day. I also recommend a cup of fragrant peppermint tea after meals to aid digestion. Look for peppermint oil capsules and tea in your health food store.
In addition to these digestive benefits, the aroma of peppermint has been shown to boost memory, focus, and concentration.
- Gingerbread cookies clearly aren't a health food, but the benefits of ginger cannot be denied. Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is best known for its ability to quell nausea, but it has been used in traditional medicine to cure a variety of ailments ranging from colds and flu to motion sickness and digestive woes.
Ginger improves cold and flu symptoms by stimulating perspiration and warming the body from the inside. It also helps keep the respiratory tract moist and relieves nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
One of the easiest ways to reap these benefits is to drink ginger tea. Look for it in your health food or grocery store or brew your own: simply slice a two-inch piece of fresh ginger, add to four cups of water, bring to a boil, and simmer for 15–20 minutes. To avoid motion sickness, try eating a 1/4 inch slice of ginger, or take 1,000 mg of standardized ginger extract three or four hours before travel.
Ginger extract has also been shown to reduce exercise-related muscle pain and to be as effective as conventional analgesics in relieving arthritis pain.
- Chestnuts roasting on an open fire are a seasonal tradition—and a heart-healthy one at that. Though holiday treats like eggnog and cookies are loaded with saturated fat, chestnuts and most other nuts contain primarily healthy mono- and polyunsaturated fats, which help reduce cholesterol levels.
Nuts are also an excellent source of vitamin E, which prevents LDL cholesterol from being converted to its oxidized, artery-damaging form. Finally, nuts contain arginine, an amino acid that the body converts into nitric oxide. Nitric oxide protects against the adherence of plaque, prevents blood platelets from sticking together, and relaxes the arteries, helping to control blood pressure.
For a healthy holiday snack, grab a handful of raw walnuts, almonds, or roasted chestnuts. But don't go overboard—nuts are very fat- and calorie-dense.
- In biblical times, frankincense was as valued as gold. This fragrant resin has also been treasured for its many medicinal uses, and it remains a staple in Ayurvedic medicine. The bulk of modern-day research focuses on an extract from the Indian frankincense tree, Boswellia serrata.
Scientists have discovered that this extract mimics the anti-inflammatory effects of NSAIDs and helps relieve arthritis pain—without any negative side effects.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study examined the effects of Boswellia serrata on patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Those who received the supplement daily for three months reported significant pain relief, some in as little as one week. They also experienced improvements in function and stiffness and had markedly lower levels of an enzyme that breaks down cartilage.
Boswellia extracts are safe and well tolerated. To ensure potency, go with a standardized supplement and use as directed.
