The art of China has arguably the oldest continuous tradition in the world, and is marked chiefly by an unusual degree of continuity within it. It.spans over 10,500 years, over three main periods, (ancient, Imperial, and modern) and encapsulates almost twenty dynasties. Much of the best work in ceramics, textiles and other media was produced anonymously over a long period by various Imperial factories or workshops. It was used both internally by the court, and distributed abroad on a grand scale to demonstrate the wealth and power of the Emperors. Known for their ability to mold a material into simple and sophisticated objects, whether it is jade, porcelain, or lacquered wood, Chinese art embodies spiritual sensibilities. Both serene and dynamic, quintessential ancient Chinese artifacts like the Tang Horse or the Ming Lokapala universally express an air of bold strength and subtle discernment. And indeed they are just the tip of the ice berg… through countless varieties of color, shape, and form, Chinese Art embodies a spirit of incomparable grace and keen refinement as deep and rich as the people and their renowned history. The Barakat Gallery regularly exhibits one of the largest collections of ancient Chinese Art outside of the…

Classical antiquity is a broad term for a long period of cultural history centered on the Mediterranean Sea, comprising the interlocking civilizations of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, collectively known as the Greco-Roman world. It is the period in which Greek and Roman society flourished and wielded great influence throughout Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. Conventionally, it is taken to begin with the earliest-recorded Greek poetry of Homer (8th–7th century BC), and continues through the emergence of Christianity and the decline of the Roman Empire (5th century AD). It ends with the dissolution of classical culture at the close of Late Antiquity (AD 300–600). The culture of the ancient Greeks, together with a cross section of influences from the Orient, prevailed throughout classical antiquity as the basis of art, philosophy, society, and educational ideals. These ideals were preserved and imitated by the Romans, and it is this "Greco-Roman" cultural foundation that has been so immensely influential on the language, politics, educational systems, philosophy, science, art, and architecture of the modern world. Out of this sprang the ground-breaking art of the period, with its emphasis on symmetry, proportion, geometry, and a revolutionary blending of naturalism with idealism. "Classical Art,"…

Egyptian art spans three millennia from the Early Dynastic period (c. 3000 BC) to the period of Roman occupied Egypt ending in the first centuries AD. It is generally divided into 5 major periods: Old Kingdom (2700 – 2180BC), Middle Kingdom (2050 – 1650BC), New Kingdom (1550 – 1050BC), Late Period (665 – 330), and Ptolemaic era (330 – 30BC) with smaller groupings or divisions in between representing spans of time in which unified dynastic rule was interrupted. Concentrated largely along the Nile River since the 4th millennia BC, Egyptian civilization, developed a sophisticated culture and system of governance, science, agriculture, art, and architecture that remained unbroken for over 3500 years. Over this time, artists adhered to artistic forms and iconography that were developed during the Old Kingdom, and followed a strict set of principles that resisted foreign influence and internal change for thousands of years. These artistic standards—simple lines, shapes, and flat areas of color combined with the characteristic flat projection of figures with no indication of spatial depth—created a sense of order and balance within a composition. Images and text were intimately interwoven on tomb and temple walls, coffins, stelae, and even statues. However, over the millennia the…

Art of the Islamic world covers a vast range of objects beyond traditional modes of sculpture and pottery… from ceramics and glass to painting and textile. Influenced by its pre-Islamic territories, along with Roman and Byzantine art, Islamic art flourished at the beginning of the 8th century AD and continued well into the modern period. Notable divisions in style and era come from a variety of dynastic periods and empires, including but not limited to the Umayyad, Abbasid, Ghaznavid, Seljuk, Ottoman, Mughal, and Safavid empires. Islamic Art is perhaps most commonly known for utilizing geometry and line to create highly intricate floral and vegetal pattern designs, referred to as arabesque, which reflect God's infinite nature. The dizzying depiction of natural elements and complex patterns in place of the generic figure is distinctive to Islamic art and creates a wonderfully unique aesthetic foundation from which a myriad of forms magically spring. Without ever having to literally reference the human form or the figure of God himself, Islamic art generates an aura of divine presence and profound spiritual power in a way no other art form can. Through the utilization of precise line work, unfathomable intricacy, and endless layers of complex elements…

Near Eastern
The ancient Near East was the home of early civilizations within a region roughly corresponding to the modern Middle East. These included Mesopotamia (modern Iraq, southeast Turkey, southwest Iran, northeastern Syria and Kuwait), ancient Iran (Elam, Media, Parthia and Persia), Anatolia/Asia Minor (Turkey's Eastern Anatolia Region, Armenia, northwestern Iran, southern Georgia, and western Azerbaijan), the Levant (modern Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and Jordan), Cyprus, and the Arabian Peninsula. It begins with the rise of Sumer in the 4th millennium BC, and ends with the conquest of the Achaemenid Empire by Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC. Within this span of roughly four thousand years, historians generally divide the period into 5 distinct ages: The Chalcolithic (4500 – 3300 BC), the early Bronze Age (3300 – 2000 BC), the middle Bronze Age (2000 – 1550 BC), the Late Bronze Age (1550 – 1200 BC), and the Iron Age (1200 – 500 BC). It is during these massive spans of time that some of the worlds most legendary empires arose and fell including but not limited to the Sumerian, the Babylonian, the Assyrian, the Elamite, the Hittite, and the aforementioned Achaemenid (or Persian Empire). The ancient Near East is generally…

Pre-Columbian art refers to the visual arts of indigenous peoples of North, Central, and South America before the late 15th century, and the time period marked by Christopher Columbus' arrival in the Americas. It is often broken up into three distinct periods from Pre-classic (13,000 BC- 200 AD), to Classic (c. 200-900 AD), and Post-Classic (c. 900-1580 AD). It contains art and artifacts created by a wide variety of cultures from the storied Olmec, Maya, and Aztec, to the legendary Inca, Moche, and Guanacoste Nicoya. The Barakat Collection contains masterpieces from each and every one of these civilzations amongest many others and hosts what is perhaps the world's finest collection of Olmec masks along with hundreds of significant Mayan Cylindrical vessels and Atlantic Watershed region basalt statues. When asked in an interview many years ago "What do you collect these days?" Mr. Barakat resolutely responded with "Pre-Columbian art. It's a lively kind of art, very human, a vibrant mirror of the cultures that created it. Almost every Pre-Columbian artifact is endowed with a distinct personality, as if it were alive and could speak about where it had been and what it had seen. It is an art that evokes strong…

Russian Icons
The Russians inherited the tradition of icon painting from Byzantium, where it began as an offshoot of the mosaic and fresco tradition. During the 8th and 9th centuries, the iconoclastic controversy in the Orthodox Church called into question whether religious images were a legitimate practice or sacrilegious idolatry. Although the use of images was in the end permitted, a thorough distinction between profane art intended to depict reality and sacred art designed for spiritual contemplation was established. That difference is one of the reasons that the artistic style of icons can seem so invariant. Certain kinds of balance and harmony became established as reflections of divinity, and as such they invited careful reproduction and subtle refinement rather than striking novelty. Although this philosophy resulted in a comparatively slow evolution of style, icon painting evolved considerably over the centuries. Unlike the pictorial traditions of the west that aspire towards increased realism and naturalism, the essence of Russian icon painting is not about the representation of physical space or appearance. Icons are images intended to aid in contemplative prayer, and in that sense, are more concerned with conveying meditative harmony than with laying out a realistic scene. They were not painted to…

Traditionally the Decorative arts are objects that are designed to work within a space, and because they are essentially created to be functional, they generally do not fall into the 'Fine Arts' category of painting, drawing, and sculpture. This distinction between the Decorative arts and the Fine arts most closely applies to Western art whereas in most other cultures the line between the mediums is heavily blurred. Objects for adoration can also be functional and utilitarian objects can also hold their own spiritual meaning. However, for the purposes of our gallery and the Barakat Collection of art, the term "Decorative Arts" applies to anything that is not categorically "ancient." Thus, in this section you will find all sorts of art from paintings, to furnishings, to sculptures, and pottery which could plausibly be considered fine art under everyday circumstances. But for our purposes, and for ease of viewing, we have taken objects in the collection which do not fall into a distinct tradition of ancient art, and generally come from the 17th century or later and put them into the "Decorative Arts" category. Everything from exquistie Classical Revival marbles, to Faberge style eggs, to decorative replica bronzes from Africa can be…

It is with great pride and pleasure that we present the Barakat Collection of Jewelry. Each piece is a unique legacy from the past, a little part of History placed in beautiful contemporary settings that transcend time. Jewelry is often thought to be one of Life's luxuries, but who can imagine the World without it? The love of ornament is as old as civilization itself. Througnout history, men and women have adorned themselves with rare and costly treasures to make a statement about their place in society. Primitive man wore the teeth and claws of wild beasts to prove that he was brave; Cleopatra dissolved a priceless pearl in wine to show her love for Marc Antony; and what few kings and queens remain today still appear on state occasions arrayed in glittering splendor. But the most common and the best reason for wearing jewelry is that it feels good. It enhances our appearance and sets us apart from the crowd. The jewelry we choose helps define us as individuals. When we adorn our necks, ears or hands with precious things we feel better about ourselves, somehow enriched, more self-confident and more attractive. These are internal emotions to be sure,…

Coins. Reach into any pocket or purse and you're certain to find a few. They are an integral part of daily life, so ubiquitous that we rarely think about them. Few objects are as universally employed by human culture. Throughout the world, every civilized society uses coins as a medium of exchange. Coins serve as a kind of propaganda, an advertisement for the aims and ambitions of the people who mint them. Values vary, as do shapes and decoration, but the function is always the same. It is rare that a useful invention should have endured with so little alteration in form. In the course of an average day, we might use coins in a dozen different ways: to make a phone call, feed a parking meter, buy a newspaper, or tip a waiter. In antiquity, of course, the main purpose of coinage was to provide equivalent value for goods and services. Comparing a modern coin to an ancient one, very little has changed. Except for the uniformity of the minting process, all the major components – inscriptions, and metals – are similar. New monetary innovations such as paper currency, credit cards, and computer banking have reduced the need for…

A penis that is not circumsized
by Penispalooza June 22, 2014
Straw is to be used as an adjective describing an event that was of superior quality. It can also be used to describe someone's skills at a sport and/or game. The origin of this a bit hazy, but it is believed that it originated when a group of young men were sitting at a restaurant and one man said it out of random. From then on, the word launched into lingo history.

Darren Rowse at Problogger has another group writing project calling for year-end reviews or 2007 predictions. It may give you an idea of how classy our household is to say this is the hottest topic of conversation today. Here's the consensus:
2. But having said that, he's going to do what worked for Ben Kenobi and Gandalf and find a way to transcend the mortal-immortal road blocks and communicate with Harry. This could be by the holographic image, the dream sequence, or something more tangible like leaving Harry a letter, a book, a will, or--as my daughter Grace suggests--the pensieve.
3. Harry is coming back to Hogwarts. Whatever he might have sneakily led you to believe, he's going back and will be there bright and early for year number seven as will his friends.
4. However, I expect he'll not be attending as your typical student. I expect he'll be the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. It's literarily complete and satisfying.
5. The house elves will be called on to help in the fight against Voldemort and will play a role--perhaps not pivotal, but most likely critical. Maybe Hermione will have some satisfaction at that point.
6. The Weasley twins will get filthy rich, if not during this book, eventually and Percy Weasley will continue to be a thorn in the Weasley side.
7. Inevitably, a character will die. I'm a little less certain on who it will be, but Ron and Hermione are safe for sure. It'll be someone like Nevil--though I hope not. One of the Weasleys is a likely target too. I feel bad to put it in writing, but Mr. Weasley gets my vote as Most Likely To Die In The Next Harry Potter Novel.
8. Nevil Longbottom, my personal favorite, will have his chance to shine. I don't mean to imply that Voldemort will be conquered by a vicious herbal remedy but The Boy Who Was Almost Somebody will have his day in the sun. I used to think he'd hook up with Luna but I'm beginning to think he'll eventually be Minister of Magic. He will help Harry find the horcruxes or help destroy them or something along those vague lines.
9. And of course, Hermione will eventually (though probably not during the course of the novel) be Headmistress of Hogwarts. Ron will be an Auror. Harry might pull a Frodo and retire without renown, his future is hazier to me.
10. Tonks and Lupin will tie the wizard's knot. About time Lupin had something go his way.
11. Peter Petrigrew, the resident Gollum character, will justify Harry's mercy by helping the boy wizard out before the end. "There is some good left in him, I can feel it!" No, wait, that's Luke Skywalker's line. But it works nonetheless.
12. Snape is good and will prove himself before the end. To believe that Snape is with Voldemort is to believe Dumbledore to be an idiot and that doesn't work for me. I have to stick with Albus on this one and say Snape's good and true and will show it before the end.
13. And most importantly, Harry will live. Voldemort won't. Wouldn't be marketable as a tragedy, so it's a literary must.
Questions I have for you: What are the remaining horcruxes? Godric Griffindor's sword? That's too obvious perhaps.
Will the origins of Harry's mysterious fortune be revealed? How on earth did a ding-a-ling like James Potter amass such a horde?
Who are Harry's grandparents? I'd be surprised if this was discussed but it ought to be, where are those people? What happened to them? Why weren't they ever an issue in Harry's upbringing?
And finally, what is it that will be revealed about Petunia Dursley? There's something there. Is she just a squib? Or just an extremely vicious squib. Maybe Vernon will die and she'll remarry Filch and settle down at the castle.

Deacon Dorothy Vuono Program Director of the non-profit civic organization Circle of Light said that the homeless population in Milford isonly getting larger and that the problem needs to be addressed.
"We are looking for the town to be part of figuring out how to correct the homeless problem," Vuono said. "With the task force we are hoping to get the town council and prominent members of the community to sit down and work out solutions."
Vuono cited Laurel as an example of what could work in Milford. She said Laurel raised money to build a facility for the Hope House organization to give people a place to go while they get back on their feet. She also expressed the hope that a Milford task force could help organize public action.
"The public is interested in helping, we just need to have someone to tell them how they can help and we feel that's what it's important for the task force to do." Vuono said.
Craig Warrington, the homeless liaison for the Milford School District, said 141 public school students in Milford are considered homeless. A student is deemed homeless, he said, when they live in transitional housing such as a shelter or a motel, if they are a foster child or if their family is living with another family member or a friend.
"We support these folks as best we can through supplies like hygiene, blankets and uniforms," Warrington said. "A lot of that money comes from local groups like ministry groups and businesses."
The school district also works students to ensure that they are able to stay enrolled in their school, regardless of whether their family is forced to relocate due to their transient housing situation.
Vurono said transportation also poses a problem in the homeless population as a whole, because bus service in Milford is limited.
Vurono and Warrington bot said the homeless population in Milford has grown in recent years.
"The numbers aren't going down." Warrington said. "Unless our economy does something miraculous over the next few years, this isn't going away."
Several council members said they would support the creation of a task force on homelessness.
"We should get on this tomorrow," Councilman James Starling Sr. said. "If we put something off until next meeting then we'll be getting right into February and that's when the coldest time is."
Councilwoman Katrina Wilson agreed.
"I'm praying that this is the beginning of an open conversation and of trying to get as much support as we possibly can from the city to help our citizens and our children."
Mayor Joseph "Ronnie" Rogers indicated that council could act on the task force request at a later date.
"I'm sure the city will support participating in a task force of some kind," said Rogers "I would like to present it to the council and we can decide to what degree we can participate in assisting getting this off the ground."

Our biggest problem right now is that our receivers either aren't getting open or are dropping passes.
We paid Sydney Rice $40MM to come here and be our #1 receiver and the guy has been either hurt or underwhelming when out on the field. I think we all expected to see more plays like the one on Sunday, juking out opposing DBs and scoring TDs. He should be an 80-90 catch, 10 TD guy on our team but he's not. I don't think there's any way our coaching staff pays him the rest of that contract next year. Either he takes a pay cut, they trade him, or he's cut.
As for Tate, well...he's never going to be great. He was overrated coming out of ND and he's a #3 guy at best right now and he'll never be much good until he learns to run routes.
We need that one guy who we can rely on to make those 4th quarter grabs for game-winning drives and catch 90 balls a year and we just don't have that right now. I thought Rice would be that guy but he's shown nothing so far and we're almost halfway into the season. How he did so good that year playing with Favre I'll never know. But I don't see him getting any better with this team because he should already be at the point where he's producing...and he's not.
So either we spend a #1 pick on a WR or we get one through FA but something needs to be done next year to fix our #1 problem.

RAVENSWOOD – For much of the 2012-13 boys basketball season, Ravenswood was notorious for getting off to slow starts. In several of those games, the Devils would then rebound and play a strong second half.
It was just the opposite Monday night in a Class AA Region 1, Section 2 Tournament contest on the Mick Price Court at the Old Gymnasium.
Ravenswood started strong but then fizzled in the second half, which ultimately led to a 54-41 victory for the Eagles and a quick end to the postseason for the Devils.
"We just didn't give ourselves a chance to be successful," stated head coach Mick Price following the loss.
The defeat gave the Devils a final record of 5-17. Braxton moved to 6-17 and advanced to play Webster, the section's No. 1 seed, on Tuesday. The winner of the Braxton-Webster game was to meet the survivor of a showdown between No. 3 seed Ritchie and No. 2 seed Roane. The sectional title game was set for tomorrow (Friday) night on the higher seed's home floor.
As the No. 4 seed in the five-team sectional Ravenswood earned the home court advantage for its contest with Braxton, who came in as the fifth seed. Early on, it appeared the Devils were going to take full advantage of playing before a crowd mostly wearing red and black.
Ravenswood shot out to a 20-14 lead in the game's opening eight minutes of play and held on to a 30-27 advantage at the break.
In the second half it was all Ravenswood could do to break double digits in the 16-minute stretch. The Devils were just 2-of-19 from the floor and both of those shots came in the third period. Ravenswood was 0-of-11 in the fourth quarter in field goal attempts.
"You just aren't going to win many games when you shoot like that," said Price.
He was encouraged early on.
"We got off to a good start," he said. "Then, we lost our confidence and didn't look to score. We made some poor decisions with the ball."
Ravenswood committed 16 turnovers in the contest.
Junior Jake Martin was the Devil leader in scoring with 22 points. He made nine field goals and was 4-of-7 at the free throw line.
Heath Burgess scored nine points, Dalton Gandee had five, including a 3-pointer, Jon Crow scored three on a shot from behind the arc while Matt Peery and Travis Rawson each scored one. Austin Rhodes was the leading scorer for Braxton with 14.
Devils season ends with tourney loss

Proposed New London budget would cut $1 million in spending
New London — The mayor has proposed a streamlined budget for 2013-14 that calls for a $1 million cut in municipal spending.
But because of a $2.7 million reduction in state and federal revenues, the tax rate could increase by about eight-tenths of a mill and cuts could include laying off police officers, shutting down the senior center, closing a fire station and cutting in half funding for the Public Library and the Parks & Recreation Department.
"This is learning to live with a new economic reality,'' Mayor Daryl Justin Finizio said Monday night as he presented the budget and his 2013 State of the City Address at City Hall.
The City Council will review the proposed budget during Finance Committee meetings scheduled for 4:30 p.m. April 8 and April 10 and 5 p.m. April 11.
"The City Council is going to have a significant role in this budget and we'll spend weeks going over it,'' Councilor Adam Sprecace said later in the evening.
If the budget is approved as presented, the tax rate would increase by 0.82 mill, from 26.6 mills to 27.42 mills. A property owner with property assessed at $100,000, which is 70 percent of the fair market value, would pay about $80 a year more in new taxes.
"This is not a budget that can avoid a tax increase,'' Finizio said. "Revenue losses and mandatory cost drivers present a situation that we simply cannot completely cut our way out of."
The $81 million budget for 2013-14 represents $40.2 million for general government and $40.8 million for the Board of Education.
The general government proposal is 2.6 percent less than the current year's budget of $41.3 million.
The school board has requested a 2.5 percent increase over the current year's budget of $39.8 million, or $997,261. The extra money would be spent on 1 percent raises for teachers, administrators and custodians, and the hiring of five new teachers in the elementary schools and a guidance counselor at the middle school.
Finizio said he supports the increase in school spending.
The governor's budget proposal includes a drop of $1.1 million in aid to the city. Another roughly $1.4 million in Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan grants would be transferred to the Local Capital Improvement Program called LOCIP. LOCIP funds will be disbursed at the request of the city for specific projects. In the past, the Pequot and Mohegan money was spent at the discretion of the city.
Finizio is proposing a $1.4 million cut in the police budget, which could include layoffs; a $500,000 cut to the fire department, which could mean closing a fire station and not filling the deputy chief position; and a $500,000 cut to the Public Works Department, which could mean layoffs and privatization of trash collection.
Another $750,000 could be saved by eliminating the Senior Center, closing the Martin Center and cutting in half funding to the Public Library and the Parks & Recreation Department.
Finizio said Parks & Recreation would be revamped to operate like a community organizing entity, assisting nonprofits and other groups in providing recreation services without a direct cost to taxpayers.
But the mayor also pledged not to "leave our young people and our seniors behind."
He said he would to continue to work with the state to improve schools, help build a community center at no cost to taxpayers, and regionalize operations such as the animal shelter, emergency dispatching and senior services.

While we wait for the approaching Nokia world event in Abu Dhabi (which we're attending, by the way) more leaks of the Lumia 1520 are surfacing on the Internet. New images have been published on Chinese micro-blogging service, Sina Weibo showing the large Windows Phone in all its glory. We're also provided some more evidence of its size.
As noted previously, the Lumia 1520 will be running GDR3 (required for larger screen resolutions), and one of the images posted is what appears to be a screenshot of the multi-tasking feature. Notice the option to close a running app? We've seen that before. The device will also be available in red.
There's little doubt we'll be seeing the Lumia 1520, especially since the FCC passed the handset. Launching on AT&T in early November, the massive Lumia will feature a Snapdragon 800 processor, 1080P IPS display, 32GB of storage with microSD expansion. It should set the standard for so-called phablet devices, or at the very least, get the foot int the door for Windows Phone.
While you all get excited, check out two more images below:

Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
When the heart sustains injury that weakens its pumping ability, a complicated physiological state called congestive heart failure (CHF) can develop. Fluid builds up in the lungs and lower extremities, the heart enlarges, and many symptoms develop, including severe fatigue, difficulty breathing while lying down, and altered brain function.
Medical treatment for this condition is quite effective and sophisticated, consisting of several drugs used in combination.
Principal Proposed Natural Treatments
Note : CHF is too serious a condition for self-treatment. The supervision of a qualified healthcare professional is essential. However, given medical supervision, some of the following treatments may be quite useful. The herb hawthorn appears to be effective for mild CHF and may be helpful for more severe CHF, as well. However, while standard drugs have been shown to help reduce hospitalizations and mortality associated with CHF, there is no similar evidence as yet for hawthorn.
Also, adding the supplement coenzyme Q 10 to standard treatment may improve results. Finally, the supplement vitamin B 1 (thiamin) may be helpful for individuals who take loop diuretics (such as furosemide) for CHF.
At least nine double-blind, placebo-controlled trials, involving a total of about 750 participants have found hawthorn helpful for the treatment of mild to moderate congestive heart failure. 53,54
In one of the best of these studies, 209 people with relatively advanced congestive heart failure (technically, New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III) were given either 900 mg or 1,800 mg of standardized hawthorn extract or matching placebo. 40 The results after 16 weeks of therapy showed significant improvements in the hawthorn groups as compared to the placebo groups. Benefits in the high-dose hawthorn group included a reduction in subjective symptoms, as well as an increase in exercise capacity. Subjective symptoms improved to about the same extent in the lower-dose hawthorn group, but there was no improvement in exercise capacity.
In an analysis that mathematically combined the results of 10 controlled trials involving 855 patients, hawthorn extract was found to be significantly better than placebo for improving exercise tolerance, decreasing shortness of breath and fatigue, and enhancing the physiologic function of an ailing heart in mild to moderate congestive heart failure 62
In another study, however, researchers found that patients with mild to moderate CHF taking a special extract of hawthorn, 900 mg daily, were more likely to experience an initial worsening of their condition compared to those taking a placebo. But, by the end of six months, there was no difference in the two groups. In light of numerous other studies supporting the safety and effectiveness of hawthorn in CHF, the results of this special extract study need to be repeated before drawing any firm conclusions. 64
A comparative study suggests that hawthorn extract (900 mg) is about as effective as a low dose of the conventional drug captopril. 12 However, while captopril and other standard drugs in the same family have been shown to help reduce hospitalizations and mortality associated with CHF, there is no similar evidence for hawthorn.
Like other treatments used for CHF, hawthorn improves the heart's pumping ability. However, it may offer some important advantages over certain conventional drugs used for this condition.
Digoxin, as well as other medications that increase the power of the heart, also make the heart more susceptible to dangerous irregularities of rhythm. In contrast, preliminary evidence indicates that hawthorn may have the unusual property of both strengthening the heart and stabilizing it against arrhythmias. 6-8 It is thought to do so by lengthening what is called the refractory period. This term refers to the short period following a heartbeat during which the heart cannot beat again. Many irregularities of heart rhythm begin with an early beat. Digoxin shortens the refractory period, making such a premature beat more likely, while hawthorn seems to protect against such potentially dangerous breaks in the heart's even rhythm.
Another advantage of hawthorn involves toxicity. With digoxin, the difference between the proper dosage and the toxic dosage is dangerously small. Hawthorn has an enormous range of safe dosing. 9
However, keep in mind that digoxin is itself an outdated drug. There are a great many newer drugs for CHF (such as ACE inhibitors) that are much more effective than digoxin. Many of these have been proven to prolong life in people with severe CHF. There is as yet no reliable evidence that hawthorn offers the same benefit. (Although, one large study found tantalizing hints that it might.) 61
It is not clear whether one can safely combine hawthorn with other drugs that affect the heart.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Hawthorn article.
Coenzyme Q 10 (CoQ 10 )
People with CHF have significantly lower levels of CoQ 10 in heart muscle cells than healthy people. 42 This fact alone does not prove that CoQ 10 supplements will help CHF; however, it prompted medical researchers to try using this supplement as a treatment for heart failure.
A large systematic review of 7 randomized trials found some benefits with coenzyme Q supplements. 72 The randomized trials evaluated CoQ 10 supplements in 914 patients with chronic heart failure. When compared to placebo, CoQ 10 was associated with an improvement in the severity of heart failure symptoms in 2 of 3 trials. In one trial of 614 patients, CoQ 10 reduced re-hospitalization, acute pulmonary edema, cardiac asthma, and arrhythmia when compared to placebo. 2 Although, a second trial of 87 patients showed no significant differences in mortality.
Similarly positive results were also seen in other double-blind studies involving a total of more than 270 participants. 37-38,58
However, two recent and very well-designed double-blind studies enrolling a total of about 85 individuals with CHF failed to find any evidence of benefit. 3,41 The reason for this discrepancy is not clear.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full CoQ 10 article.
Vitamin B 1
Evidence suggests that the strong diuretics (technically, loop diuretics such as furosemide) commonly used to treat CHF may interfere with the body's metabolism of vitamin B 1 (thiamin). 14,43,44
Since the heart depends on vitamin B 1 for proper function, this finding suggests that taking a supplement may be advisable; in fact, preliminary evidence suggests that thiamin supplementation may indeed improve heart function in individuals with CHF. 15,45,46
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Vitamin B 1 article.
Other Proposed Natural Treatments
A large Italian trial involving almost 7,000 subjects found that fish oil may modestly reduce the risk of death or admission to the hospital for cardiovascular reasons in patients suffering from congestive heart failure. 67 And, a smaller study involving 138 patients showed similarly beneficial results. 68
Several studies (primarily by one research group) suggest that the amino acid taurine may be useful in CHF 16-22 and could be more effective than CoQ 10 . 23
Another treatment for CHF that has some evidence is the expensive supplement L-carnitine , especially when given in the special form called propionyl-L-carnitine. 24-28 Carnitine is frequently combined with CoQ 10 .
Three small, double-blind studies enrolling a total of about 70 individuals with CHF found that the supplement arginine significantly improved symptoms of CHF, as well as objective measurements of heart function. 29-31
Evidence suggests that the sports supplement creatine may offer some help for the fatigue and shortness of breath that often accompanies CHF. 32-34,71
One small double-blind study found preliminary evidence that the supplement ribose may improve CHF symptoms. 55
Combination therapy with several of the supplements mentioned above may also be helpful. A double-blind trial of 41 individuals found that use of a supplement containing taurine, CoQ 10 , creatine, and carnitine, as well as other nutrients, improved objective measures of heart function. 47
A study performed in China reported that berberine (a constituent of various herbs, including goldenseal and Oregon grape ) can decrease mortality and increase quality of life in CHF. 56
There is some evidence that supplementing with magnesium may be helpful for individuals taking both digoxin and diuretics; diuretics can deplete the body of magnesium and this in turn may increase risk of digoxin side effects. 48-52 One study found that use of magnesium (as magnesium orotate) may improve exercise capacity and reduce heart arrhythmias in people with CHF who have just undergone bypass graft surgery. 57 Additionally, in a well-designed trial involving 79 patients with severe congestive heart failure, magnesium orotate significantly improved survival and clinical symptoms after one year compared to a placebo. 63
In addition, it is important to pay attention to all the general considerations that bring health to the heart, such as those described in the article on Atherosclerosis .
Weak evidence suggests that relaxation therapy (specifically Transcendental Meditation) 60 and yoga 66 may improve functional capacity and quality of life in people with congestive heart failure. Tai Chi , a Chinese martial art focusing on rhythmically gentle movements, may also be beneficial in improving the quality of life in people with congestive heart failure. 65,69,70
Vitamin E has been proposed as a treatment for CHF, but a small, double-blind study did not find it effective. 35
Herbs and Supplements to Use Only With Caution
One study found hints that supplementation with vitamin C at a dose of 4 g daily might worsen muscle function in people with congestive heart failure. 59
Various other herbs and supplements may interact adversely with drugs used to treat congestive heart failure. For more information on these potential risks, see the individual drug article in the Drug Interactions section of this database.
