...Finally, to get a clearer, better brew, periodically transfer the wort to a new container to remove the sediment. At this point, it’s also the time to “dry hop” it with fancier flavors like roasted coffee grounds or coriander to give the beer more complex flavors...
...fair, although Adams house was the first to formally make beer brewing a house tradition, it wasn’t the first to venture into the world of wort. Last fall, Winthrop tutor Jonathan P. Wilson began making the bubbly stuff in Winthrop’s Senior Common Room. His e-mails over the Winthrop House list, inviting anyone over the age of 21 to help brew, have met with plenty of enthusiasm. “I’ve had as many as 30 kids watching the pot boil,” Wilson said. When I met with...
...Wendy Weber, a naturopathic physician at Bastyr, the group decided to study St. John's wort after the Food and Drug Administration approved atomoxetine - an agent that keeps nerve endings in the brain flooded with the neurotransmitter norepinephrine - for treating ADHD in children. They knew from previous studies that at least one of St. John's wort's active ingredients, hyperforin, has the same effect on brain neurons, and speculated, as have other proponents of alternative therapies, that the botanical might help to relieve symptoms of ADHD without a prescription. But among the 54 children between six and 17 years...
...popular herbal remedy for treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children actually does little to improve symptoms of the disease, according to a new study. Researchers at Bastyr University in Washington state report in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) that St. John's wort, a commonly used botanical to treat depression, does not help children with ADHD to concentrate or curb hyperactivity any more than a rice-protein placebo over an eight-week period. It's the first such study to tackle the question of St. John's wort's effectiveness against ADHD in a randomized...
...first study of St. John's wort and ADHD in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, these findings are important not only for ADHD patients but for the even larger community that relies on naturopathic and alternative therapies to relieve everything from infections to depression. "One lesson from this paper is that it shows that a lot of alternative therapies can be studied in a rigorous way," says Dr. Eugenia Chan, director of the ADHD program at Children's Hospital in Boston...
