Post subject: Beer butt chicken
I have tried making beer butt chicken on a kettle type grill. I have done it several times and have had pretty good chicken. So I thought I'd try it with something sweeter and did it with root beer. The results seemed pretty much the same, nice moist meat! Haven't really noticed much of the liquids flavor imparted into the chicken. Of course I too have used some chicken seasoning, garlic and lemon.
I would cut open the top of the cans and remove about 1/4 of the liquid to allow for some spices in the liquid. I would use somewhat indirect heating by having the coals around the edge of the grill and the chicken in the middle. It's been a while since the last time I grilled one, but I think it only takes an hour on the grill.
While grilling to enhance the flavor of the chicken meat I also put some pieces of apple wood, and live oak, or hickory on the coals to make smoke. I suppose because of the spices and smoke I didn't notice any real flavor from the beer or root beer, but it was still great moist chicken.
Oh the thing that I have noticed was the the meat was so moist, that when I used the two tined meat fork to take the chicken off the can the chicken would fall apart.
So it mostly appears to me that having a can of liquid in the cavity of a chicken while grilling is to keep the meat from drying out. Although maybe having a strong flavored/aroma liquid could impart some taste to the meat too. When roasting a turkey we use stuffing to keep the bird moist, but hardly ever use this to keep a whole chicken moist. Hmm... maybe I should get a chicken out of the freezer and try a beer stuffing.

Post subject: can in the hole
I have found that with any type of cooking the cheaper the liquid. i.e beer, wine. the better the flavor. I have been cooking beer can chicken for years. and I have done the the exact same test, because I wanted to know the exact same answer. THe best beer I have found to work is PBR.
Also try this, I guarantee you will not be dissappointed.
Boil. Worshester sauce, red wine, or cheap champagne, salt, lemon and a bay leave with the chicken for at least 15 min. yeah you are boiling the chicken, once done transfer to beer can rub with honey, and stuff the top of the cavity with a lime that has been rolled and broken for the juices to drain. smoke with pecan wood, till chicken has reached 165.

I don't know. To me, beer is beer, but they all taste different and there are some I don't like. Wine is another thing. When you cook with wine, with the exception of dishes like coq au vin the use a lot (a bottle or more) of wine as an ingredient, most dishes that call for wine don't use very much and their cost doesn't usually impact the cost of living, and I wouldn't cook with a wine that I wouldn't drink. That is not to say I would cook with $50 or $100 bottles of wine, but $10-30 or so wine for cooking is alright. The same goes for recipes that call for hard liquor. The $2.99 wine popular in high school is not something I want in anything that I spend a lot of time cooking, especially when there are other delicious or expensive ingredients.

Post subject: Try iced tea
different beers will give you different flavors. I prefer the Miller beers, such as Icehouse. But, try using a can of Lipton Iced Tea. This gives the chicken a lemony sweet flavor

Post subject: White wine
If you are not a beer drinker use white wine and see if it has a discernable difference and as for the Budweiser I agree it is fizzy yellow water. Many microbreweries use higher quality malts and even fruits and herbs to flavor their beers.
You actually got me interested about steaming vegetables over wine.
One last note. GUINNESS ROCKS!

Post subject: Grill Roasted Beer Can Chicken
Cook's Illustrated (the magazine) did a story about this in the July-August 2000 issue. I use their recipe with the Fragrant Dry Spice Rub on the same page. It is outstanding in my book!

Post subject: An engineer did this experiment?
Are you serious? I'm not an engineer...just a 'lil 'ole science teacher
and I find it hard to believe that you would even try this experiment by
cooking the two chickens in the same oven!!! Come on guys!
I have never acquired a "taste" for beer, but I do love wine...especially the reds. My family LOVES beer butt chicken and it doesn't seem to matter what kind I use. I usually go for what's on sale and give most of it away, saving about 4 cans for future use in the whole chickens. There is definitely an unusual flavor added by the beer. It might have something to do with hops...who knows???

Post subject: Beer can chicken
On the east coast we use the Brewbutt Chicken kit, which is a tall narrow aluminum can, screwtop lid, and a plastic bag with the dry spices built in, and a detailed recipe and method on the label. The recommended method works well and is flexible. The brining step isn't needed at all. Having made my weekly chicken this way for many years, I get a moist juicy chicken every time, by being careful about the temperature of the oven, setting it to preheat at 425 F first, then after roasting at that temperature for 15 minutes, I turn it down to 375 F for the next hour. Expect the bird(s) to take a bit over an hour. ALWAYS baste with the juices in the pan, always always always, about every 20 minutes or so. When the legs wiggle freely, turn the oven wayyyy down and let the birds rest for 15 minutes in the oven. Then you can get on with the carve and serve. I don't try to remove the whole chickens from the cans any more, but take my kitchen shears and cut the birds into serving pieces, slowly and carefully, cutting down the back bone and breast bone, then across.
My beer of choice is Newcastle Brown Ale, or Newky Broon to those who love it. Guinness works well enough but Newky Broon is a bit lighter. Be sure to include plenty of mashed garlic and onion in the liquid mix, I neglected this once and the difference in flavor was surprising. I roast a 3 to 4 pound fryer each Sunday night and the flavor of the meat stands up until the bird is gone at Thursday lunch time.

Post subject: Beer
I love beer, from Guiness to MGD. So, I have tried using the Beer can chicken both with and without the Beer(ran out and used water) and have used Beer in the marinade. The best flavor result was from having the chicken in a Beer marinade(with standard spices). Having beer or water in the can made little difference to me.
P.S. I used MGD because it seems a shame to not drink the darker beers.
Happy Grilling. :-)

Post subject: Beerbutt Chicken using terra cotta
I haven't tried this yet, but watched a show on TV where new terra cotta pots (that's right, the garden variety) were used. After all the brining and seasoning is done, place your chicken in one terra cotta pot sitting inside a baking pan, and enclose it with another. I think that before I try this I may 'season' my pots first.

Post subject: why not
just butterfly the beast?
it facilitates flavor penetration.
and eases the maneuverability during preparation, along with the carving and disposition of the bird just before eating =D
also, regarding your discussion at the grocer - the alcohol itself would not be likely to flavour much, esp. given its volatility (consider pouring everclear over a chicken) ... though perhaps the other chemicals in beer and wine will help.
i wonder if a good cabernet sauvignon would be worthwhile, even disregarding cost: many of the flavours are subtle enough that, while appreciable as a drink, might not be substantial enough to impart to a meat. I think there was a column on this in the NYTimes within the last two years. A comparison of cheaper wines with very fine clarets elicited no difference in final product. So it seems their conclusion was certainly aligned with yours.

Post subject: I like the beer best
I think I like a good lager best. The way I do it is to roast the chicken in oven and drink the beer while the chicken is being cooked.
No matter how it turns out, it all taste good after couple of beers.

Beer can chicken is a redneck recipe. It doesn't matter what type of beer -- just what is on hand at the time.

I should have said, use whatever beer you are drinking at the time. Because Rednecks drink any beer that anyone brought on the trip ( hunting, fishing, est. ). If the chicken is cooked long enough, it is very tasty and very tender. It should be enjoyed-not analyzed!

Our pick will probably be bottom half of the draft (I hope to Christ it is) - maybe really low.
Maybe 32nd.
Whatever. Who's in the draft that we can get? PC likes the big strong flanker type. I highly doubt we can get the next Larry Fitzgerald with out pick even if he's in the draft. After listening to last night's balls-off-the-hands debacle, I would say getting that #1 reciever should be a priority. We sure as hell don't have him now.

Let's take a break from politics, considering we're about to get our fill of it for the next 15 months. Instead, let's talk about a topic where we all can agree: When the school bus stops, we stop.
Well, apparently not everyone agrees. On April 17, Arkansas school bus drivers counted 589 motorists who illegally sped past their bus while it was stopped with red lights flashing. Only about a third of the state's school bus drivers participated in the survey, so the actual number of drive-bys was much higher.
This is not simply a traffic offense. After Bryant elementary student Isaac Brian was killed in 2004, the Legislature passed Isaac's Law the next year. Any motorist who illegally passes a school bus – even if nothing happens and everyone is OK – is guilty of a misdemeanor. If convicted, you can go to jail for 90 days, lose your driver's license for a year, be assigned up to 400 hours of community service, and pay a fine of up to $1,000. Drivers who kill a student, as happened most recently in Arkansas in 2007, are guilty of negligent homicide, a class C felony. That student's name was Elizabeth Cimprich, she attended classes at Watson Chapel, and she was 14 years old.
Granted, all of us drivers can have a careless moment – especially when we're in a hurry, which is pretty much all the time these days.
But there really is no good excuse. Of those 589 illegal passings, 445 involved drivers approaching the bus from the front, which is bad enough. The other 144 passed from behind. It's illegal to establish a bus stop on a four-lane, so those drivers had to pull into the turning lane or opposite lane, ignore the stop sign on the bus's side, and drive past. Eleven drivers passed on the right, which means they drove onto the shoulder and past the school bus door.
Mike Simmons, senior transportation manager for the Arkansas Division of Public School Academic Facilities and Transportation, is leading a "Flashing Red. Kids Ahead." campaign the rest of this month to call attention to the problem of illegal passings.
Simmons said not much has changed during his 13 years on the job. People get in a hurry today like they did then. "Honestly, part of it is just our society today is not willing to wait," he said. "I mean, you see people just busting it to get past a school bus because they know once you get behind that school bus, it's going to be stopping."
It should be noted that school buses are the safest way to transport a student, statistically speaking. Every day, almost 7,000 Arkansas school buses transport 260,000 students across 250,000 miles of roadways, usually without incident. In 2002, the National Academy of Sciences and other groups reported that of the 800 school-age children killed every year in motor vehicle crashes during normal school travel hours, only 20 were school bus-related, and only five of those occurred while the student was on the bus. The other 15 occurred while the student was a pedestrian, which is how Isaac Brian and Elizabeth Cimprich died.
Remember a few paragraphs ago when I listed all those scary things that can happen to us if we're caught illegally passing a school bus? That's the law. The reality is, school bus drivers usually are too busy taking care of kids to record the license plate of a speeding car. So this is one we can probably get away with most of the time.
Instead, it's our personal responsibility to remember, especially when we are in a hurry, what flashing red lights on a school bus mean. Someone's son or daughter is nearby, walking somewhere close to the street, and trying to get to school, or to home.

Everyman Theater moves to new location
$18M facility allows group more creative freedom
Tuesday was moving day for the Everyman Theater.
The theater has been a staple at the corner of Charles and Layfayette streets for the past 18 years, but that's all about to change.
"We want a great theater to tell our stories. We've been in this wonderful storefront theater, but it's tiny. We don't have rehearsal space here. The theater has low ceilings and columns right where you don't want (them)," said Vincent Lancisi with Everyman Theater.
There's no lobby to speak of, and the backstage and scene-building areas are also limited, so those who work there are ready to go.
Moving day has been five years in the making. They're leaving the building behind but taking their loyal patrons and their mission to make theater accessible to everyone with them.
One of the things patrons love about the current Everyman Theater is that it's a small, intimate space and they're close to the action. That won't change in the new theater, officials said, even though there's much more space. There are still only 250 seats.
"You come into the lobby there, and it's instantly welcoming. It's a place you're going to want to come early and stay late. It's got a bar. It's got modern amenities," Lancisi said.
The new location around the corner from the Hippodrome on Fayette Street came with a price tag of $18 million, but was built specifically for the Everyman Theater.
It's 40,000 square feet -- three times their old space with a brand-new lobby, storage and work space. The theater includes a bigger stage and more vertical space, which will give them more creative freedom.
"It's going to allow us to do a wider range of plays. We can do more classic theater. We can do plays that require a larger style. So, I think you're going to see the repertoire of Everyman grow in scope," Lancisi said.
Workers are putting the finishing touches on their new digs with plans for a grand opening celebration in January.

The Wabash Glee Club, under the direction of Richard Bowen, began their spring break tour of Florida in outstanding fashion. Former Wabash president Thad Seymour H'78, his wife Polly, and John Heiland '41 hosted the Glee Club at Winter Park Towers. John welcomed the group to Florida and turned the microphone over to President Seymour who provided a brief history of the Glee Club's spring break tours.
With a crowd well over 100, the performance delighted everyone! From a rousing start with "Old Wabash" to some classic Glee Club numbers, Richard Bowen had the group at the top of their game. Special performances included the "T-Tones" and a stirring Gospel number by seniors Greg Priester and Howard Bailey. The crowd was treated to a fun and entertaining evening.
After the performance, the Seymours and Heiland hosted a reception for the Glee Club and attendees. Many thanks to Thad, Polly, and John for their hospitality.

Lipscomb sophomore distance runner Katie Bunker and senior distance runner Alexander McMeen along with a number of teammates are on a mission trip to Haiti. The following is an update from the two on the trip.
August 4 and 5, 2012
Saturday started off bright and early, as we woke up with the sun around 6 a.m. to do our workout. One of the staff brought us to a nearby "soccer field," which quickly became crowded with not only people but also livestock (including cows and goats!). Needless to say, that definitely made for interesting 1200 repeats. The rest of the day was spent doing various jobs around the orphanage. These included touching up paint, building benches (from scratch!), picking up trash, and of course playing with the kids. All the kids love the random activities we show them; the big parachute games were definitely a hit! After our daily rooftop dinner (above the dining hall), our evening was filled with many different games that this time the children taught us. Some of the children here are able to speak a little English, but many of them speak only Creole. The language barrier is at times difficult, but the kids who understand are always willing to translate. This makes learning the rules to the games very interesting, but definitely very fun. By the end of the night, majority of the children and our team members were all playing one huge chanting-name-game, laughing and goofing off. As Saturday came to a close, we all went to sleep exhausted but feeling right at home.
Just like Saturday, we got up very early to get our run in before we headed off to church. Some of the kids even tried to keep up with us for a few laps, which added some giggles to our run. The 50 plus orphans, our 12 team members, and Hunter and Jillian piled into the pick up truck and the open-air bus and made the 15 minute drive to a neighboring village where they attend church. The children split off to the kids' church and everyone else went to the main chapel for the service, which lasted about 2 hours. Most of the service was in Creole, but we found ourselves humming along to some familiar songs as the church members belted out the lyrics with no inhibitions. The kids' church crammed over 90 people into a 12 by 15 foot room where they learned about Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. At the end the kids each received points for singing a different church song, where even Justin Bieber's hit "Baby" was mistakenly sung by one of our favorite little girls, Dalencia. When we got back from church, we ate a quick lunch and then later headed out to the Christian Bible Training (CBT) facility for a quiet place to celebrate our teammate Matt's life while our loved ones back home were the doing the same. Although we were a thousand miles away, we had each other to lean on while we prayed and supported the rest of the Lipscomb family, and especially the Deery family. Nothing would be able to change the circumstances, but as we returned to the orphanage we were able to focus our love and emotions on the children who long for our attention. We wrapped up the night by singing church songs, getting our hair braided (not Alexander, of course), and just spending time with the kids.
Many people would consider the language barrier too big of an obstacle to overcome, but we have found the opposite to be true. Being unable to understand what they are saying forces you to rely on body language and emotion, keeping us in tune with how the kids are truly feeling. A smile in English is the same as a smile in Creole, and the same goes with laughter. We all smile and laugh in the same language, and simply paying attention to facial expressions can be more powerful than words themselves.
In Haiti, voodoo is one of the major religions, and witch doctors play a huge role in the culture. To us, voodoo sounds like something loony we would see on TV, but in actuality, it can be compared to our form of materialism. We talked about how materialism is our major separation from God and a main downfall in every American's life, both young and old. It sounds funny, but voodoo is the separation from God to many Haitians and even many of the Haitian churchgoers. Their loyalty is torn between God and the devil, and whoever fulfills their request is whom they choose to worship for the time until their desires aren't met. Experiencing the Haitian culture has caused us to reflect on our "perfect world" we have in America. Haiti may be a 3rd world country, but our problems in the U.S. aren't much fewer. As Americans, we may have the luxurious lifestyle, but God made it clear to the rich young ruler that money and possessions don't bring happiness. The orphans here at CHCH are living proof of this often-overlooked message. Left with almost nothing, these kids are happier than most we've interacted with back home. The past few days have reinforced to us the obvious needs in Haiti, but it has also revealed our own issues in our not-so-perfect comfortable lifestyle.
Until next time,
Katie and Alexander

Bright lights, buccaneers, and booty, what more could a gal ask for? Floor-length murals of 16th century pirates plundered the walls while gold treasure and trinkets decorated the large interior of Greystone Manor during the launch party for the new Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag video game on Tuesday, October 22nd. Watch out world, game on.
Guest List
Elijah Wood played host to the soiree, ushering in an impressive collection of celebrities and gamers abound, including Emile Hirsh, Hal Sparks, Robert Buckley, Scott Porter, Ross Phillips, K.D. Aubert, Young Jinsu, Australian boy group The Janoskian's, and Fuse Newscorrespondent Jack Osbourne, just to name a few. Ubisoft, in conjunction with the national music television network, Fuse hosted the release party for the highly anticipated addition to the Assassin's Creed Saga, which is set to release worldwide on October 29th, 2013 for PlayStation®3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo's Wii U™.
Inside the Launch
The new installment to the Assassin's Creed game series catapults gamers into the year 1715, where a lawless pirate republic has laid siege to the Caribbean. Our protagonist is the fearsome young captain Edward Kenway, a name that holds weight with even the infamous Blackbeard. Attendees of the party were able to play the new game on PlayStation 4 systems and big screen televisions positioned inside the venue. The game was fast paced and full of action. Recording artist Young Jinsu noted, "I like the freedom that the player is given in this game. There's a lot of control in what you can do. I'm a big fan of the Assassin's Creed games and this one seems to be no exception".
Keeping (partly) true to the new game's reality, party patrons also enjoyed pirate-themed photo booths equipped with captain's hats, chains, swords, skulls, and the like, and complete with a green screen backdrop scene from the actual game. The photographs ensured a memorable night (although the stocked open bar put up a good fight). The DJ provided the music and the guests provided the moves, filling up the dance floor and partying like it was 1715.
Game History
The first Assassin's Creed video game was released on November 13, 2007. The game quickly became a success, leading to a top selling historical action-adventure franchise. Assassin's Creed has since evolved into full force entertainment brand, with products ranging from comic books to mobile games, novels, and even a feature-length film in the works.
Release Info
Assassin's Creed IV Black Flag will be released on the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system, Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Nintendo's Wii U™ system on October 29, 2013, Windows PC on November 19, 2013 and as day one launch titles for PlayStation 4 from Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. and Xbox One.

*We can keep either a Kicker or a Defense & not be awarded an early round penalty (the Defense or kicker is inserted into your 15th round selection)
Draft Order is determined by
*Winner of previous year is awarded the 1st pick in the draft
*Winner of the Consolation Champion is awarded the 2nd pick in the draft (the logic behind this was to keep all participants active & so no one would purposely tank for next years campaign)
*Rest of draft order is determined by weakness of playoff results through to strongest playoff result.

I'll keep Brees and Roddy White (meaning the Crackers- Andre Johnson era ends)
Ive got the spreadsheet formatted. We still waiting on Guybrush, Joel & Fine to register their teams.
(allthough Guybrush has announced his keepers which are reflective of his team)
He can actually go and have a look at his kicker or defense from last year and allocate that to his 15th round spot.
I'll update the first post with the google link.

Mayor Mark Stodola joins national effort to stop violent death among African American men | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
NEW ORLEANS, LOUISANA (LR) — Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola joined mayors and city leaders from across the country in New Orleans, La. for the inaugural Cities United meeting to explore solutions aimed at reducing the tragic number of violence-related deaths of young African American men and boys by 50 percent. The two-day working session brought together 225 local officials and staff from 37 cities—including Stodola, Little Rock City Director Ken Richardson and Community Programs Coordinator Marq Golden—to develop a plan of action that will end homicide as the leading cause of death for African American males between the ages of 15 and 24.
"As leaders, our highest responsibility is protecting the safety and prosperity of our communities and our people. This means preventing violence and investing in the opportunities that everyone needs to feel hopeful about their future and to flourish," Stodola said. "It is time to stop the violence. So it is time to marshal every resource—federal, state, local, private, faith based, and not-for-profit—to turn the tide. Finding Little Rock's strategies and executing them is our imperative."
Through his participation in the meeting, Stodola will help guide the Cities United movement and its work to restore hope and opportunities to young men and boys directly affected by violence. Topics covered included effective strategies for engaging black men; rethinking juvenile justice; restorative justice as a tool for community healing; educating for a strong community; leveraging philanthropic partnerships; and developing strategies that ensure a long-term impact.
The conference featured a number prominent speakers, including: Professor Pedro Noguera, executive director of the Metropolitan Center for Research on Equity and the Transformation of Schools; Angela Glover Blackwell, founder and CEO of PolicyLink; and Karol Mason, Assistant Attorney General of the United States.
Cities United was launched under the leadership of Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu with support from National League of Cities, Casey Family Programs and Open Society Foundations. Since it launched in 2011, Cities United has forged a growing network of 56 mayors working to equip local elected officials with the tools, practices, skills and resources needed to effectively eliminate the violence-related deaths of African American men and boys. The initiative is headquartered at the National League of Cities' (NLC) Institute for Youth, Education and Families.

A Trauma Remedy
|Kaki: The World Tree
|Diospyros kaki Creveld and Radix Diospyros kaki Creveld
two homeopathic remedies
By Marijke Creveld Ph.D.
|On the 9th of august 1945 the plutonium bomb was dropped on Nagasaki. This dropping signified the end of the Second World War. The greater part of the town was destroyed, a large percentage of the population killed. Near the epicenter one tree survived the bomb: the Kaki tree, of which the official name is: Diospyros kaki. This tree managed to survive the inferno. Its power for survival renders this tree the World Tree.
Everything in Nagasaki was destroyed by the enormous blast caused by the explosion, the ensuing fire and the radioactive and poisonous plutonium. Around the tree death reigned. The survivors had to deal with severe illnesses, thick scar tissue, internal hemorrhages, boldness, cancer (leukaemia).
In the following generations a high percentage of children were born with congenital anomalies.The Kaki tree in Nagasaki stands for the end of the Second World War, the end of the destruction, domination, rape, fleeing and death. The tree signifies survival and the beginning of hope.
|In the blind proving with the remedy Diospyros kaki Creveld which I conducted in the potency 200K, the subjects of the dreams centered on the topics of survival, insecurity, danger, soldiers, rape. Also death, fire and dilapidated houses as symbol for serious illnesses, were frequent themes of the dreams.
Diospyros kaki Creveld and Radix Diospyros kaki Creveld has now been in use since 2000. I have treated over sixty patients with this remedy with good result. Also other homeopaths have been using the remedy to their satisfaction.
|Case studies of PTSS
|I will describe some positive results of people with a war trauma treated with Diospyros kaki Creveld. They came to see me in my practice between 2001 and 2003 about their war trauma and have been treated with Diospyros kaki Creveld. The results were positive. Nowadays, I would prescribe the remedy, Radix Diospyros kaki Creveld to most of the patients. In this type of cases it tends to work deeper and more rapidly. The Radix remedy is always given alongside Silicea, preferably in the guise of white clay (Argiletz). Probably it is also possible to give it alongside Silicea D6.
|First case
The first case is that of a man born in 1954 who had fled his native country of Chile to live in Europe. He came to me following chemotherapy and radiotherapy he underwent to treat a brain tumour. He has multiple traumas caused by imprisonment under military dictatorship, when he suffered torture. He had nightmares about this as well. In 1999 he was diagnosed with a brain tumour, treated by chemotherapy in 2000 and 2002 and by radiotherapy in 2002.
|Second case
The second case is about a man born in a land in Africa in 1986. He has a war history. His father was killed before his eyes. They wanted him as a child soldier. He escaped with his mother. His mother died in his arms. He escaped to Europe. Here he was a victim of rape. He couldn't sleep on account of the nightmares. He often suffers the delusion that someone is standing behind him. He couldn't talk about his problems. He was always very angry, obstinate. He had terrible headaches, his head felt hot, as if fire was burning inside.
|Third Case
The next case is about a woman born in 1939. She is Jewish and is living in Israel. Her daughter was raped and her son was in the army during the intifada (Palestine uprising against the Israeli occupation forces). She always felt anxious. She wanted to be treated because she has breast cancer.
|Fourth case
The next case is about a woman born in 1936. She had lived abroad in her childhood days. She was an inmate of a Japanese wartime camp. She witnessed many fires caused by e.g. bombardments. In her youth she was exposed to DDT spraying every week. Later on she became a laboratory worker involving radioactivity (on one occasion she worked with Cobalt 60 without protection).
|Fifth case
The last case is about a woman born in the Netherlands in 1945, at the end of World War II. She saw me over sleeping problems. She has a war history during her mother's (last) month of pregnancy and the first month of her life, World War II was raging. She fights for the rights of refugees and has worked at a third world aid shop. She is very anxious about having no roof above her head and about nuclear war. She has sleeping problems and nightmares about fire. She wakes up every 10 minutes. She has had to stand guard even as a child. She is often afraid, anxious and has hyperventilation.
Two new homeopathic remedies Diospyros kaki Creveld and Radix Diospyros kak Creveldi are derived from the kaki tree in Nagasaki, which has survived the plutonium bombing of the city in August 1945. The tree in Nagasaki stands for the end of the Second World War signifies survival and the beginning of hope.
