TIDBITS® TAKES VITAMINS

bby Janet SpencerOn February 5, 1915, the first experiment spon-sored by the Public Health Department in order to prove that some diseases are caused by dietary deficiencies began. Researcher Joseph Gold-berger consequently proved that the skin disease pellagra is caused by poor diet. Come along with Tidbits as we consider vitamins!VITAL AMINES• In 1911, Polish scientist Casimir Funk theo-rized that diseases such as beriberi and scurvy were caused by a lack of substances he dubbed “vital amines.” This term was shortened to ‘vi-tamins.’ He was the first to prove that these ill-nesses were not caused by exterior factors but were simply caused by dietary deficiency. • Other researchers began isolating these vital amines, calling them simply “vital amine factor A”, “factor B” and “factor C” and so forth. The lack of factor A caused blindness; the lack of factor B caused beriberi; the lack of factor C caused scurvy; the lack of factor D caused rick-ets; the lack of factor E caused miscarriage, and so on. • At one time there were vitamins A through P. Subsequent research revealed many duplicates, so some were scratched from the list. That’s why there is no vitamin F today.

VITAL AMINES, Cont’d• Later researchers found that vitamin B was ac-tually a complex compound, and it was broken down into vitamins B1 through B14. Again, later studies showed some errors. Today we have only B1, B2, B6, and B12. • Today we know there are 13 vitamins: A, B1, B2, B6, B12, C, D, E, K, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, and folic acid. In 1933 scientists learned how to manufacture synthetic vitamins in the laboratory.ELMER’S DISCOVERY• In the early 1900s, Elmer McCollum was a re-searcher at the University of Wisconsin. He was trying to discover whether wheat, oats, or corn was the best feed for cows. His method was to feed three different groups of cows the three dif-ferent feeds and see what happened. The wheat-fed cows went blind. The oat-fed cows gave birth to dead calves. Only the corn-fed cows were healthy. • Next McCollum switched to rats. He fed his rats a mixture of protein, carbohydrates, minerals, and fat. Then he made an important discovery: when the source of fat was butter or egg yolk, the rats remained healthy. But when he switched the fat to olive oil, the rats died. Obviously there was something essential in butter and eggs that was not present in olive oil. After much labora-tory research, the substance was identified, ex-tracted, and named vitamin A.VITAMIN A• The daily allotment of vitamin A is about .0001 ounce. Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat soluble and collect in the body tissues rather than be-ing flushed out. These are the vitamins that can be overdosed. Beef liver contains 60,000 IU of vitamin A in four ounces; polar bear liver, how-ever, is about ten times richer than that.

VITAMIN D• Vitamin D acts as a catalyst to produce proteins that allow minerals to move through the intesti-nal membrane and into the cells. Without it, the disease called rickets causes the bones to soften and bend.• The misperception persists that vitamin D is present in sunlight. Actually, vitamin D cannot be formed unless it is activated by ultraviolet light. Therefore, sunlight does not contain vita-min D; it only activates it. Cats and dogs, when they lick their fur, ingest body fat that has been irradiated on their fur. This serves as a source of vitamin D. • One school of thought holds that black skin evolved as protection against sunburn and skin cancer. However, other scientists feel that white skin evolved as a measure to allow enough ul-traviolet light to pass through the skin in cold climates where people wear heavy clothing and their exposure to sunlight is limited.VITAMIN E• Vitamin E is necessary for reproduction. Many people have concluded that if a little vitamin E is necessary to reproduce, then a lot of vitamin E should really make you a Casanova. But vita-min E’s role in reproduction is merely to prevent miscarriage and has nothing to do with sex or conception.VITAMIN K• Vitamin K comes in cabbage, cauliflower, spin-ach and pork liver, but the vitamin is also synthe-sized in the intestinal tract by bacteria, no matter what you eat. Vitamin K is necessary for the liver to synthesize clotting elements that circulate in the blood. Too much vitamin K can damage the liver. Taking oral antibiotics can kill the intesti-nal bacteria that synthesize vitamin K.

It’s not known who made the following sage ob-servation: “The best way to lie is to tell the truth -- carefully edited truth.”

In a survey conducted by the Cumberland Farms chain of convenience stores last year, more than half of respondents said they would rather have jury duty for a week than give up coffee for the same length of time. A whopping 69 percent would rather give up alcohol than coffee for a week.

Finland once banned Donald Duck comics be-cause the title character doesn’t wear pants.

You might be surprised to learn that World War II played an important role in the rise of popcorn as a favorite snack at the movies. During the war, the U.S. was cut off from many sugar-exporting nations, causing shortages and rationing on the home front. The scarcity of sugar resulted in a dearth of candy being offered at the box office, causing popcorn sales to skyrocket.

If you live in Georgia, keep in mind that it is ille-gal to have a picnic in a graveyard in that state.

Given the rise in foodie culture, it’s no wonder that there are a plethora of cookbooks available covering every imaginable kind of comestible. However, you might be surprised to learn just how far back the recording of food preparation goes: One of the earliest known recipes was written on cuneiform tablets and has been dated almost 4,000 years ago to around 1700 B.C.

VITAMIN B• Vitamin B12 is necessary for the forma-tion of red corpuscles in the blood, for normal growth, and for maintenance of healthy nerve cells. You only need .00000014 ounce of vitamin B12 each day, but a lack of that tiny amount can be fatal. It is impossible to get B12 on a strict vegetarian diet. • Scientists wondered why Hindus, who are strict vegetarians, never suffered from vita-min deficiencies while living in India, but would come down with B12 deficiencies if they emi-grated to Britain. It was found that their diet in India inadvertently contained insect parts that became mixed in with the food. But in Britain, where food control laws were stricter, there were fewer microscopic insect fragments in the food. Insects are rich in vitamins, including B12.• Beriberi was a perplexing disease, caus-ing fatigue, then death. In 1894 Christiaan Eijk-man began to study it. Certain it was caused by a bacteria or virus, he tried unsuccessfully to infect chickens. One group of chickens received injec-tions of the beriberi bacteria, and another group did not. Suddenly, both groups came down with beriberi. Just as suddenly, both groups recov-ered. He was mystified. • He spoke with the man who fed them. Back then, brown rice was undesirable, and white rice (which has the hull and the germ polished off) was desirable. Chickens were normally fed undesirable brown rice. But when the supply of brown rice ran out, the chickens received white rice, and they got sick. When more brown rice arrived, they recovered. Eijkman concluded that white rice contains a poison which brown rice neutralizes, not realizing that brown rice con-tains vitamin B1 (also called thiamine) which wasn’t isolated and named until 1926.

A “NORMAL” HEADACHE How is their sleep, bowel movements, digestion, liver and kidney function, emotional trends, life-style habits, joint mobility, blood quality, pain anywhere, appetite, overall constitution (i.e. thin, weak, strong, overweight, etc.), and even the quality of the voice, posture and handshake? TCM includes the environment that makes it better or worse: cold versus hot days, windy or humid days; over-activity versus inactivity. What is the character of the pulse? Not just how fast or slow it is, or weak versus strong, but there are about 30 other characteristics regarded. How does the tongue look? The tongue is a great win-dow into the quality of health.With TCM it isn’t just a matter of giving a drug to reduce or eliminate the symptom, but why is it there in the first place? Looking at the body as a whole picture gives a better view of what’s wrong. It’s like a picture puzzle. Each symptom is a piece of that puzzle, even if, on the surface, there seems to be no relationship to the head-ache, it still gives valuable information as to the causative factor. Then the picture is treated, not the puzzle piece. Treating a symptom is relative-ly easy. Treating the picture not only handles the symptom, but other seemingly unrelated symp-toms go away along with it. So while there is no such thing as a “normal” headache, there also is no such thing as all head-aches being the same. But there are ample op-tions to get rid of headaches for good!

It seems unusual today to find someone who does not have headaches. Many consider them “nor-mal headaches”. What is a “normal headache”? In my book, there is no such thing. Common, yes. Normal, no. As with many things today, we are confusing the “norm” with “normal”. For ex-ample, we hear, “it is “normal” to have morn-ing sickness, or heartburn after spicy foods, hot flashes with menopause or PMS during “that time of month”. While common, and the “norm” any more, they are all indicators that something is not working Headaches are no different. They are a red flag that something may be out of sync. It is our job to find out In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) headaches are evaluated using several parameters. For instance, a headache that originates at the temples has a different etiology than one that originates at the back of the neck, the top of the head, the forehead, the sides, or around the eyes. Is the headache stabbing in nature, dull, burning, heavy, light or vise-like? Does it come and go, flit around, or is it constant? What are the associ-ated symptoms? The whole body, with all of its symptoms, are brought into the picture to ascer-tain the underlying mechanism of the headache. While it’s common to consider if there is light sensitivity, visual distortion, nausea, vomiting or tingling, TCM goes even deeper.

On Feb. 2, 1847, the first woman of a group of pioneers commonly known as the Donner Party dies during the group’s journey through a snow-bound Sierra Nevada mountain pass. The disas-trous trip west ended up killing 42 people and turned many of the survivors into cannibals.

On Feb. 6, 1891, members of the Dalton Gang stage an unsuccessful train robbery in California -- an inauspicious beginning to their careers as serious criminals. Bob, Emmett and Grat Dal-ton were only three of the 10 Dalton sons. The majority of the Dalton boys became law-abiding citizens, and one served as a deputy U.S. mar-shal.

On Feb. 5, 1918, the steamship Tuscania, trans-porting over 2,000 American soldiers bound for Europe, is torpedoed and sinks off the coast of Ireland by the German submarine U-77.

On Feb. 4, 1938, Walt Disney releases “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” his first full-length animated feature production. Naysayers, including his wife, warned him that audiences wouldn’t sit through a cartoon fantasy about dwarfs, but the film quickly grossed $8 million, a staggering sum during the Great Depression.

On Feb. 3, 1953, French oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau publishes “The Silent World.” Three years later, the film version was released to world acclaim. The film, which revealed the hidden universe of tropical fish, whales and wal-ruses, won Best Documentary at the Academy Awards.

On Feb. 7, 1984, while in orbit 170 miles above Earth, Navy Capt. Bruce McCandless becomes the first human being to fly untethered in space when he exits the U.S. space shuttle Challenger and maneuvers freely. McCandless orbited Earth in tangent with the shuttle at speeds greater than 17,500 mph.

On Feb. 8, 1990, singer-songwriter Del Shan-non (“Runaway” and “Hats Off to Larry”) com-mits suicide while in the midst of a comeback. Shannon’s widow would later file a high-profile lawsuit against Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of the antidepressant Prozac, which Shannon had be-gun taking shortly before his suicide.


Special-Needs PetsDEAR PAW’S CORNER: I saw a social-media post today about a bobcat that was considered “special needs” and couldn’t be released back into the wild. What exactly is defined as special needs in an animal? -- Darla J., Jacksonville, Fla.DEAR DARLA: “Special needs” defines any animal, domestic or wild, that requires addition-al care beyond what might be considered nor-mal for its species. That need could be due to a physical injury, illness or emotional/behavioral problems.We most often hear about behavioral problems in dogs, especially those that were abused or abandoned. But other pets and wild animals also can have behavioral issues. It takes a lot of at-tention, patience and skill to care properly for these animals.Likewise for animals that come into shelters and rehab facilities that have been injured or are ill: Their emotional/behavioral issues often go hand in hand with their physical issues.People looking to adopt a pet from a shelter of-ten are told that a dog or cat has special needs, or has specific issues that must be addressed. While responsible shelters do their best to rehabilitate a pet prior to putting it up for adoption -- including fostering the pet to more experienced volunteers who can help reduce behavioral issues -- pro-spective pet owners need to be aware of a pet’s health and behavioral needs and be prepared to address them.A special-needs pet will need more attention from its new family. That usually includes spe-cific medical treatment, with more veterinary visits and a medication routine that must be met, plus more training and attention than a healthy pet might need. Owners must be prepared to dedicate extra time and expense to such pets. It’s often worth the effort.

Cash for Gift CardsMerchants would love for you to slide your un-wanted gift cards into a drawer and forget about them. According to CardHub.com, in the past 10 years over $45 billion in gift cards have never been redeemed.With a little bit of effort, you can swap your un-wanted gift cards for cards you’ll actually use ... or even turn them into cash.CardHub offers a few tips:On CardHub, you can either sell the card at a discount or list it on Facebook for less than the amount on the card. This is helpful if you have a card for a store that’s not a major retailer or if there’s an odd amount left on it.¥ You can give the card to someone else as a gift.Collect the cash and use it to pay down debt.Swap for a card you do want on the CardHub Facebook page.Use the card. Every store likely has something you’d want. But beware: It’s difficult to spend the exact amount on a gift card, so you might end up paying for something additional just use up every last cent on the card. Ask if the store will give you the last few dollars back in cash. Some will.Cnet.com also has some good ideas for handling unwanted gift cards: Try Cardpool.com. Its site says you can “Buy gift cards for up to 35 percent off or sell gift cards for up to 92 percent cash back.” Cardpool holds the card until it’s sold, but will send you the cash within a day. Certain cards can be turned into Amazon.com gift cards, and at an increase in the amount you’re offered.Review a few sites online to see what each one offers and where your best deal is. Others to con-sider are GiftCardGranny.com and CardCash.com.A Coinstar Exchange kiosk is the best if you need cash immediately ... if you’re willing to take 60 percent to 85 percent of face value. Coinstar ma-chines are easy to find; there might even be one in the lobby of your bank or grocery store. Apple Store, L.L. Bean, Starbucks, Ticketmaster, Best Western and Victoria’s Secret are just a few of the 150 cards that Coinstar will take.However, the kiosk will require some identifi-cation when you take your slip to be cashed at the counter. Check the locator page to find out if there’s an Exchange kiosk in your area.

Whole Grains for HealthIncreasing our intake of whole grains results in lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease and diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, according to two large studies reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The studies tracked 74,341 in the Nurses’ Health Study and 43,744 men in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study. Bread immediately comes to mind when we think of increasing our grain intake, but bread labels can be confusing. Here are some of the myths and truths about bread, as provided by WebMD.com.Myth: If the bread looks brown and has “wheat” in the name, it contains fiber and whole grain.Truth: The only way to tell what bread really con-tains is in the ingredients label. “Wheat flour” or “enriched wheat flour” means it was made with mostly white flour. The color might come from molasses.Myth: If the name of the bread sounds healthy, such as “grains” or “natural,” it must be healthy.Truth: Again, the ingredients label is where you’ll find the true information. A bread can be called “natural” or say how many grains it has, but the first ingredient in the label will tell you what’s really in it.How to buy the healthiest bread:¥ “Wheat bread” is wheat flour, not whole wheat. Look for “100 percent whole grain” or “100 per-cent whole wheat.” Even if you’re picking up a loaf of rye bread, don’t assume it contains rye flour as the first ingredient.¥ Beware the sodium level. Some breads are quite high in sodium and can become a major portion of your daily limit.¥ Look at the calories per serving, and don’t be fooled by the difference between “per slice” and “per serving.”Check the grams of fiber. For more sources of whole grains, go online to www.choosemyplate.gov.Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader ques-tions, but will incorporate them into her column whenever possible.

Q&A with Susan Ashley, MD

Now, look at your toes. If your 2nd toe is longer than your big toe (the big toe is the 1st toe), then you have a defect in something called methyla-tion. Which means you will have difficulty pro-cessing the B vitamins. Anyone with this has a higher risk of dementia, cancer, heart disease and psychiatric disorders such as depression, because of the deficiency of B vitamins it can cause. All of my patients with autism or ADHD have methylation defects. It's quite common, seen in 40% of the population. You'll be fine as long as you take a B vitamin with the methy-lated forms of B12 and folate -- it should say methylfolate and methylcobalamin (B12). We have it at Healthy Living, called B supreme, and it's readily absorbed. And by the way, you can have "normal" toes, and still have a methylation defect.Next in line, feel your collarbones on both sides. They should feel pretty much the same, unless you've broken one in the past. Feel the space right underneath the collarbones - it should feel smooth, with no obvious lump. A lump on the left side, just below the collarbone, is worrisome, and can represent a tumor in the abdominal area -- see your doctor.Now go look in the mirror at your face. Is there a horizontal line between your eyes at the bridge of your nose, that seems to go from one eye to the next? If so, this means you have a tendency towards developing diabetes, and need to really watch your weight. Look at your earlobe. If you have a crease in the lobe, this can mean you have a higher risk of heart disease, and a variable blood pressure -- either too high or too low. Do you have yellowish plaques around your eyes? This can be a sign of high cholesterol and/or higher risk of coronary artery disease.How are your fingernails? A convexity defor-mity can indicate pulmonary, or lung, disease.Any odd looking moles that are darker, deeper, or stand out from other moles? Have it checked out.While there are so many other findings one could look for, we don't have enough time to list them all -- that took 4 years of medical school. So my last piece of advice -- go get your physical!

At Home Health ChecksMost of us have had to endure a physical in our lives, and most of us didn't really enjoy it. There's something unnerving about sitting on an exam table, no clothes on, a sheet wrapped around your body for protection, and waiting for a doctor to find something wrong. Hoping, of course, that they find nothing wrong. And then, various parts might get probed that you would rather remain private.If you're over 40, I don't recommend skipping the physical. But there are some things you can check yourself, in the privacy of your own home.First, is something called ABSI. ABSI = a body shape index. This is much more important that BMI or weight. People with the highest ABSI have a 60% higher risk of dying of any cause. The ABSI factors in your waist circumference, and that's important. The belly fat causes a great deal of inflammation which drives chronic dis-ease. To calculate, go to absi.ni.eu.org. If your number is 1, your risk of premature death is about average. If it's greater than 1, start losing the fat. High intensity interval training and resistance exercise is the best way to go, causing more fat loss than other types of exercise. Pair this with reducing carbs and you will be successful.Next, check you pulse in the morning, while still lying down before you get up. It should be be-tween 60-80. If it's less than 60, this could be because you are in great shape and exercise. If it's higher than 80, or certainly 100m, you are at higher risk of heart disease or an abnormal heart rate such as atrial fibrillation. Have it checked out by your dr, and take your omega 3's - a mini-mum of 2000 mg per day.

"Having a hard time cutting out soda? Try this: Every time you reach for a glass of soda, drink a full cup of water first. You will find that your thirst is sated better, and you are not as "thirsty" for that sugar water!" -- F.E. in South Carolina

Research says that the best time of day to exer-cise is in the morning, but the truth is that the best time for YOU to exercise is when you will go through with it. So, try out different times of the day, and when you find one that fits, schedule it in your daily planner and block the time out at least three times per week.

"My neighbor makes this recipe called firecrack-ers. It involves saltine crackers, oil and a bunch of spices mixed up to delicious results. It also results in a lot of cracker pieces. I always take the crumbs home and use them as croutons for salads. So delicious." -- J.L. in Florida

If you're leaving your home for a few days, make sure you don't turn off the heater altogether. Set it at a low 55 degrees F, and open up the cabinets that have pipes exposed. This way, air will circu-late, and it won't get too cold to allow the pipes to burst. Have a neighbor turn your faucets to a trickle if below-freezing weather is expected.

"My husband and I both like to do the cross-word puzzle in our local paper. For years, we have "shared" it by using a piece of tracing pa-per over the answer grid. When it is lined up, we tape it on the corner. If I am in the middle of the puzzle and get distracted, I can remove my paper to go back to it later, and he can get started. It's kind of fun this way." -- M.M. in New York

Noteworthy InventionsNIACIN• “Pellagra” is Italian for “rough skin.” It’s a dis-ease whose first symptom is irritated skin, and it is eventually fatal if left untreated. • In the early 1900s pellagra was rampant in the deep south, and the Public Health Service hired Joseph Goldberger to find out why. His first discovery was that it was common among pris-oners, children in orphanages, and patients in mental institutions. Yet he never found a single doctor, nurse, nun, or prison guard who also had the disease. • Theory held that pellagra was a contagious disease, but Goldberger became convinced that it was tied to the diet. In the Methodist Orphan Asylum in Jackson, Mississippi, one third of the children suffered from pellagra. However, all of the victims were between the ages of 6 and 12. He discovered that only the children between the ages of 1 and 5 were given milk to drink. And only the children over the age of 12 were given much meat. Between the age of 6 and 12, the orphans received no milk and little meat. They survived on grits, mush, and sow belly. And they got pellagra. • Goldberger convinced the orphanage to change the children’s diet, giving them lots of meat, milk, and eggs. Pellagra disappeared.• Wanting to be thorough, Goldberger decided that if he could cure the disease with proper diet, he ought to be able to induce it through faulty diet. At the prison farm near Jackson, he signed up 12 prisoners who were willing to go on a spe-cial diet in exchange for a pardon at the end of six months. He fed them biscuits, mush, grits, gravy, syrup, corn bread, rice, coffee and sugar. After a few weeks, the men started showing the signs of pellagra. (Continued next page)

There’s an App for ThatSoftware applications, popularly known as “apps,” have come a long way. While they have many uses, the mobile app for cellphones is the most well-known. Topics range widely from ex-ercise, movie locators and restaurant reviews to daily horoscopes, games and reference.Now there are apps especially for military and veterans.The Department of Veterans Affairs has its own app store (mobile.va.gov) with applications such as Mobile Blue Button (manage your health care and communicate with your care teams) and Summary of Care (view your medical informa-tion, including lab results and medications). The Claims Coach, designed to help walk you through filing a claim, was designed by the American Legion. The app hooks you up with your service officer during the whole process. Create your to-do list, find a service officer in your area, make appointments and more. Find the app on Google Play and in the Apple store.One of the most important steps in app develop-ment concerns DANA, the Defense Automated Neurobehavioral Assessment. It’s now approved by the Food and Drug Administration to be used as a program to diagnose traumatic brain injury in minutes. Baseline information is input into the device, which can run either a 5-minute, 15-minute or 45-minute battery of tests. These can then be reviewed by doctors, either immediately or later, to determine whether there is psycho-logical or cognitive impairment. See www.an-throtronix.com for details. Check the play.google.com site for VAPP: The Veterans APP. Designed by veterans for veter-ans, VAPP will store your files, such as DD214, access your benefits, find veterans discounts in your area and more. Read the reviews, because it’s still in Beta.Before downloading any app, be sure it matches your phone’s operating system, be it Android, Apple iOS, BlackBerry or others.

Dear Tamara,Help! I have extremely OILY HAIR. I have tried everything under the sun including Doctors. Can you help me?.Irv A. Williams CdA

Dear Irv, An excess of hair oil can indeed be prob-lematic. The cause is the sebaceous glands (as many as 140,000) producing too much oil. Redheads rarely have oily hair. Blondes tend to suffer the most as oil wicks into fine, straight hair the easiest. Hormonal changes, stress, nutrition and heat and humidity all af-fect oil production.Only use clear Shampoo (less oil). Double shampoo and rinse well in between. Test how your hair feels. Squeeze the juice of two lemons into a pint of water and use it as a finishing rinse. Apple ci-der vinegar is also good. Apply and massage through hair. Leave on for 5 minutes. Then rinse with cool to tepid water. A horsetail herb rinse can strengthen the shaft and reduce oil. Do Not Overbrush. Limit fat in your diet. Fried foods, saturated fats, meat, and dairy products increase production of sebum that results in an oily scalp and hair. Do not use shampoo that contains Sodium Lauryl Sul-fate or NDELA (nitrosodiethanolamine ). Both are harsh and dry the scalp.

NIACIN (cont’d)• Goldberger went one step further to prove pel-lagra was not contagious. He collected 16 vol-unteers, including his wife and himself, who did everything to contract pellagra through injec-tions and secretions and bodily contact with suf-ferers. No one got the disease.• Goldberger spent the rest of his life in the laboratory trying to discover what factor meat, milk, and egg yolks had in common. By 1926, Goldberger established that a small amount of brewer’s yeast prevented pellagra, yet he never knew why.• It was Conrad Elvehjem who discovered that pellagra is caused by a lack of the B vitamin niacin. He presented his findings in 1937, eight years after Joseph Goldberger’s death.• Goldberger is remembered as the “unsung hero of American clinical epidemiology.” Although he was nominated five times for the Nobel Prize, his discovery proved socially and politically un-acceptable, and he made little progress in gain-ing support for the treating of pellagra during his lifetime.• Between 1906 and 1940 more than 3 million Americans were affected by pellagra with more than 100,000 deaths, yet the epidemic resolved itself after authorities decided to add niacin to bread in 1938.• Pellagra is still found today, especially in third world countries that depend primarily upon corn for their sustenance. Refugees and prisoners re-ceiving inadequate food commonly suffer from it. Alcoholism and drug addiction can also cause pellagra, as can intestinal disorders. Untreated, the disease can kill within four or five years.• Besides meat and eggs, niacin is found in avo-cados, dates, tomatoes, leafy vegetables, brocco-li, sweet potatoes, asparagus, nuts, whole grains, and legumes.


www.tidbitscda.comTIDBITS of Kootenai County, Idaho Issue #6 Feb 2nd 2015 SCURVY• French explorer Jacques Cartier and his crew were searching for a sea passage across North America in the 1530s when they spent the winter on the St. Lawrence River, where they became icebound. By the middle of February the crew was suffering with scurvy and were so weak they could not move from their beds. 25 out of 110 crew members were dead. • Cartier, who probably had been sneaking food from a secret cache, remained in good health. He was reluctant to have much contact with the local Indians for fear they would attack the boat after seeing how weak the crew was. • Still, while Cartier was out on shore one day, he ran into an Indian named Dom Agaya. Cartier had met up with this man several days earlier and had noted that he also was suffering from the onset of scurvy. Now, however, he was completely cured. • Cartier asked him what had cured him, and the Indian showed him how to cut branches and nee-dles from a local tree (probably a cedar tree), boil them in water, and drink the tea. • At first some of Cartier’s men refused the cure, but when one or two tried it, they immediately began feeling better. The rest of the crew soon rushed to join them, and within eight days they had consumed an entire tree and in so doing had cured themselves. • Still, although Cartier took samples of the tree with him back to France, the knowledge of the cure failed to make the rounds. Ten years later, another French expedition wintering at the same spot on the St. Lawrence seaway lost 50 of their 200 crew to scurvy.SCURVY SCALLYWAGS• In earlier centuries, scurvy was a disease that struck sailors, prisoners, armies, and besieged cit-ies. Victims got progressively weaker and eventu-ally died. (Continued next page)

New Furnace? Don’t Shut Heat RegistersQ: In a recent column, you advised readers to shut heating registers in unused rooms to save energy. However, that may not be completely correct. I recently had a high-efficiency furnace installed. The technician told me not to shut off heating registers in unused rooms, as it could damage the furnace. So, shutting the registers doesn’t always apply if you have a new furnace. -- Sandy, via e-mail A: Thanks for the update! I looked into guide-lines for newer, high-efficiency forced-air fur-naces and found that, indeed, HVAC experts recommend against arbitrarily shutting off reg-isters in unused rooms. There are a number of reasons for this. The newer furnaces are configured to heat your en-tire home’s square footage in the most efficient way possible. Start shutting off registers and that setup no longer works, as the parameters of the system has been changed.Shutting off several registers can affect the blower motor in particular, according to the Energy Vanguard (www.energyvanguard.com) blog post “Can You Save Money by Closing HVAC Vents in Unused Rooms.” Newer sys-tems feature both registers and air return ducts in each room. Shut off the register, and the air return is affected as well, increasing air pressure and forcing the blower to work harder to circu-late warm air back into the house.Air ducts in newer systems also are not normally sealed, the blog notes. So when the return air pressure goes up, air begins to escape from the duct system itself, forcing the blower to work harder to draw enough air to heat.Low airflow over other components of a high-efficiency system can cause problems, too. The heating coils actually can get too hot, as can the heat exchanger, increasing the risk that it could crack -- releasing exhaust gases, including car-bon monoxide, into your home.So, does that mean heating registers should nev-er, ever be shut? The answer to this is to talk to your HVAC contractor. While Energy Vanguard notes that one or two temporarily closed regis-ters shouldn’t negatively affect the system, it’s better to ask than to wonder.What if you’re not sure if you have a high-effi-ciency system? What if you have an older heat-ing system, or a zoned system? Then it’s time to schedule a checkup with a heating and air-con-ditioning professional, who can tell you the best way to manage your particular heating system.

HOME TIP: Going on a trip this winter? Don’t turn off the heating system: Set the thermostat to 55 de-

grees F, which will reduce the energy bill while preventing pipes from freezing.

SCURVY SCALLYWAGS (cont’d)• In 1737 an Austrian doctor named Kramer no-ticed that army soldiers often got scurvy— but the officers (who ate better food) never did. He was the first person to make the connection be-tween diet and disease. • Soon after, a Scottish doctor named Lind proved that citrus fruits would prevent scurvy. • Captain Cook was so impressed that he took limes on his round-the-world voyage, and lost only one sailor to the disease. However, the Brit-ish army remained unconvinced and didn’t start following the advice for another 40 years. • In 1794 the British Admiralty finally decided to try citrus as a preventative for scurvy. They sent an English squadron out with a full supply of lemons. When the ships touched port at Ma-dras 23 weeks later, only one crewman had come down with scurvy— and he had traded his daily lemon juice ration for another sailor’s rum. • After it was discovered that citrus fruits could cure scurvy, every Spanish sailor bound for the Americas was supplied with 100 seeds or young seedlings to be planted in the new land. Today’s Florida groves began with trees planted in 1513 by Ponce de Leon. By 1800 scurvy was wiped out. • Because lemons were commonly called limes, English seaman eventually became known as “limeys.”• Without vitamin C, the body cannot synthe-size collagen, which is the adhesive protein sub-stance that holds cells together. Without colla-gen, wounds cannot heal, old scars may open, and gums rot. The victim becomes cranky, apa-thetic, and dizzy. Joints and muscles become sore, bones grow brittle, legs swell, and bruises appear as tiny blood vessels rupture. Death oc-curs when the brain, the lungs, or the digestive tract rupture.

Please send your questions or comments to [email protected].

I shall be frank and honest with my response and provide resources where appropriate.

Dear Auntie Mmm,I am in my last year of col-lege and months away from graduation. For the last four years I have been very focused and felt sure of what I wanted once I gradu-ate. Now I’m not so sure and I’m questioning every-thing I thought I knew about my future. The issue is I’ve met a man who I think I want to spend the rest of my life with. My uncertainty arises from the fact that we are of different cul-tures and faiths - Muslim and Jewish. We both plan on returning to our countries to work and we know we will face extreme discrimination and most probably be shunned and disowned by our families and friends. I never foresaw such an occurrence in my life. Neither of us have told our families about the other. Is there a pos-sibility for happiness in such a marriage? Our ancestors have warred for years and perhaps our love can bring a bit of piece to our countries and our families. Thank you for your help. Learning to Love in Latah County

Dear Learning to Love,You are in the midst of a war between your head and your heart. Is peace possible? Enter-ing into an interfaith marriage in and of itself can present irreconcilable difficulties or can add richness and diversity to the partnership. If you have been brought up to follow your cultural and religious traditions honoring your parents is unquestioned. You both have difficult decisions to make. Please know that whatever you choose these decisions will be life changing so take some time. Right now you may believe you are ready to give up everything you know and love to be with this man. Take a step back and look down the road to your future. Whose culture and religion will you follow? What are the pos-sible repercussions? You need to take a look at all the ways your life can play out. Go home after graduation and try a long distance relation-ship. Will your love last? Once you are back in your respective countries things may seem quite different. If your hearts still rule your heads con-sider living in a neutral country where your dif-ferences are (hopefully) welcomed. If you want children you must consider the consequences for them. You both need more time and some distance so you can do a reality check. Talk with some intercultural / faith couples. This is too big to rush into.


I have recently moved to CDA from the Cincinnati area. I have lived all over the US and have NEVER found a local paper I enjoyed as much as I do Tidbits, especially the lead articles by Janet Spencer. They are VERY informative and THOROUGHLY enjoy-

able! Keep up the quality. And, THANKS Denn


C O O L C O N N E C T I O N s A Ladies and sometimes Men of A Cer-tain Age Adventure Club

Cool: Fashionably attractive or impressive (well, at least we think so!).

Connections: A relationship in which a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with some-thing else - like ensuring life is Fun and Mean-ingful!

Sound Interesting?

Cool Connections is actively seeking vibrant, intelligent, sane (or maybe insane), adventurous women, 40 +, to co-create and partake in memo-rable outings, trips, meals, activities and friend-ships. Women who realize that 40+ may be the best and most interesting time of their life yet. Women who want to design their future to be an adventure in learning and growing, in giving and receiving. Women who want to share in the kind of experiences they can look back on when they’re 80+ and say, “Wow, that was fun!”, and maybe even, “I don’t believe I did that!”

That’s why Cool Connections is a lively, loving group of women that choose to experience life like a fine wine - to only get better and better. Together we explore, have fun and enjoy the di-versity of our lives and the activities of our area and beyond. We come together to eat good food, drink fine wines (or beverage of choice), and nur-ture strong relationships. We find ways to support each other, both personally and professionally, to be successful in all we do, whatever that may be. We remind each other that caring for ourselves first is a prerequisite for caring for others. We believe our minds, like parachutes, are best kept open. Some of us are working, some of us are building and managing a business, some of us are still raising a family, some of us are caring for parents, and some of us are doing multiples of these. And, there are some who have ‘been there, done that, and bought the t-shirt’. What’s important, despite the prevailing circumstances, is that we connect - that we join together, to sup-port each other in creating a rich and meaningful life, now.

You probably remember thinking that 40 was ‘so old.’ Are you ready to prove that wrong? If so, come join us at our next adventure in living. Just be prepared to laugh, to open your heart and your mind, and to make a COOL CONNECTION!

So if you've been putting off making those getaway plans, it's still a good time to get started on them.LEO (July 23 to August 22) Those so-called golden opportunities that continue to dazzle the Lion still need to be carefully checked out. Be suspicious about anything that looks like the "perfect" prospect.VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Changes at the workplace could make it more difficult to do things the way you prefer. But the wise Virgo who shows some flexibility could find it paying off in a big way.LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might want to check out the explanation you were given for a sudden shift in your duties.

Before making any deci-sions, you might want to check with others who have had some experience in that area.CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A situation involving someone close could ben-efit from your timely intervention. Avoid being judgmental. There'll be plenty of time later for those "little talks" you like to have.AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Travel could be a surprise element in that new project. Be prepared for other previously un-disclosed aspects that also might come to light as you proceed with the work.PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Try to bal-ance your work-related responsibilities with the time you're spending on your recently re-vived social life. An old friend might be plan-ning to return after a long absence.
