According to Lowe there have been
complaints about the carpets in the
Hilaire Center since they put them in
years ago, so they are having them tested
just to rule out the possibility that the
carpets may still be "off-gassing." "It's
probably got something to do with the
ventilation, but I don't know."
McClure, who has been doing a lot
of reading on environmental illnesses said
~t, "Some people have a greater
Immunity to it." McClure guesses that of
the 20 full time employees in the Hilaire
Advising Center, about a third of them
were suffering similar symptoms.
"It's pretty clear it's something real."
said McClure.

contributor to the CPJ.

THIS WEEKS (QUASI) TAOIST JOKE:
the Office of Cooperative Education said
she's been suffering health problems
since she started working in the Hilaire
Student Advising Center in October 1989.
"I was having a lot of severe physical
reactions."
McClure speculated that the physical
problems people were experiencing may
have started as early as 1988. McClure
added that it took them a while to figure
out that many of them were experiencing
similar symptoms, and that it may have
something to do with their working
environment
Lowe said the health complaints they
received from the Student Health Center
varied, but they did follow a common
pattern. "We received complaints of
headaches, nausea, dry eyes, memory
loss, and menstrual problems."
by Claire Littlewood
It's budget time in the Legislature,
and funding for the Labor Center on
campus is in jepoardy. A budget passed
by the senate would eliminate funding for
center.
"We're the least funded labor center
in the states, no question about it" said
Helen Lee of the Labor Center.
According to Lee the Labor Center
currently gets $100,000 from the State of
Washington, "and that just pays for two
salaries and xeroxing."
Evergreen's Labor Center founded
by Joe Olander and Dan Leahy, has been
in existence at Evergreen since 1987.
Lee said the Labor Center was
formed from a vision since there's been
such an assault on the working people.
"It's the only place where working peOple
have space to stop and think about their
position."
The Labor Center offers many
educational programs focusing on the
history of the Labor movement, economy,
and organizing. Lee feels much can be
learned from examining the past.
Although Lee speculates that Labor
unions are losing membership by about
1% in the workforce every year she still
thinks they are the social voice for the
working people.
As for the potential loss of funding
from the State of Washington Lee says,
"The fight's not over. We're right in the
middle of it." And if they lose the
battle, "It's like one more old nail in the
coffin for the working people."
Without people like Claire Littlewood.
the CPJ would consist of blank pages.

The Continuing decline in cigarette
.smoking in America has been gooc;l news,
although some groups remain unarrected
. by the trend. most notably teenage girls,
who are still smoking in recOrd numbers.
The health 'risks of smoking--such as lung
Cancer and heart disease--seems remote to
most teenagers, who may· promise
themselves to stop smoking before such
catasb;Uphes overtake them. But evidence
is mounting that smoking may alsO place
young women at risk for cervical cancer,
a disease that can strike them in their
twenties or thirties. Though this form of
cancer is among the most curable if
detected early, it can threaten a woman's
ability to bear children, as well as her
life.
How can . smoke in the lungs affect
the chemistry of the cervix? In 1977 Dr.
Warren Winkelstein of the University of
California at Berkeley hypothesized a
connection between cigarettes and
eervical cancer, because the type of cells
lining the bronchial tubes, which are most
susceptible to the cancer-causing elements
in smoke, are also found in the cervix.
Although female smokers have a higher
incidence of cervical cancer than non~
smokers, many experts believed that the
connection was coincidental--that is, they
thought smoking simply went along with
other risk factors for cervical cancer,
such as multiple sexual partners or sexual
activity at an early age. And, indeed,
cervical cancer is still not listed by the
government as being promoted by
cigarette smoking.
However, nicotine and cancerpromoting agents in cigarette smoke
travel through the bloodstream to other
parts of the body and recently have been
detected in the cervical secretions of
smokers. A study undertaken at the
University of Utah School of Medicine in
Salt Lake City even implicated passive
smoking (sidestream smoke, inhaled from
the air) as a promoter of cervical cancer,
particularly in large doses in closely
confmed environments, such as the home,
'ACUPUNCTURE
and in women who are no~rnokers
themselves_ Most researchers, however,
are · not ready to 'accept this evidence as
defuUtive.
..
Another factor in cervical cancer,
besides sexual activity at early ages and
. multipie sexual partnets, is now though to
be the presenCe in the cervix of human

and the risks progress
geometrically.
papilloma virus (a sexually tranSmitted
virus that also causes genital warts).
Smoking becomes interactive with all
these cancer promoters, and the risks
increase
geometrically.
Ironically,
therefore, the effects of smoking show up
most clearly in women with no other risk
factors for cervical cancer--namely, those
who don't have genital warts and don't
become sexually active early or don't
have more than one partner. It's in just
these women that researchers now most
clearly see the adverse effects of
smoking. In the same way, the risks of
passive smoking show up most clearly in
women who don't smoke.
Whatever future research may reveal
about cervical cancer and smoking, young
women shouldn't start smoking and
shouldn't wait to quit. Studies show that
after two years, a former smoker's risk of
cervical cancer is equal to a nonsmoker's.
Young women should start getting annual
Pap smears (which can detect abnormal
precancerous cells) at age 18, or earlier if
they become sexually active. If three
smears are normal, screening may be
done less frequently, depending on the
woman's risk factors and her doctor's
advice.

United States not morally superior
by SheDa Payne
'They Mah! Desolation and They Call
11 Peace" Tacitus 84 a.d.
'
We call them "collateral damage."
We tum away from 100,000 once living,
hoping, dreaming people that we
slaughtered by making them faceless. We
reconcile the tragic, unfortunate killing of
our own by calling it "friendly flre."
What do we say when we hear of the
millions made homeless, the hundred
thousand wounded, the babies starving,
people afflicted by fatal illnesses because
there is no potable water? "That's war."
If we hear at all.
Where are ,the photos, where are the
images of the utter destruction, the
refugees frantically fleeing the ultimate
nightmare, apocalypse? Death raining all
around, relentless.
Corpses rotting, no one left to mourn.
Wailing. Where is our image of a child
running down the street with her flesh
burning that we have forever napalmed
into our brain, a legacy of Vietnam?
Where is the reality. Will our children
now believe that our swift victory
validates military might over reason?
Annihilation over negotiation?
Who are we to claim moral
superiority when our grief is limited to
those who share our ideology and
borders. As soon as the war began the
debate about the morality of going into
this war ceased. Success was equated
with proving the moral rightness of our
actions. We gloat in our "victory," but
just as this war depleted our economy it
bankrupted our moral righteousness. This
massacre was not a football game so why
are we makinJt like cbeerieaders with our
tattered
yellow
pompoms?
The
justification for bombing the cradle of
civilization into ruin was to limit U.S.
casualties.
Di~ the U.N. resolution calling for
expulSion of Iraq from Kuwait authorize
destroying the whole infrastructure of the
country, leaving the survivors without
water power, sewers, shelter, food?
Saddam may have had it coming to him
but the people of Iraq certainly did not.
They did not elect Saddam, and they
were reluctant at best to follow him to
the slaughter.
We can all agree that the invasion of
Kuwait by Saddam was a brutal act on
the people of Kuwait I would suggest to
you that Saddam thought he had the
Bush administrations blessings. What
turned him from a most valued trade
partner and ally against Iran into the
Butcher of Baghdad? Had his pattern of
behavior changed?
We continued . to finance and arm
Saddam while he committed mass murder
against the Kurds and others. When the
world community cried out in alarm,
Bush squashed any attempts at reprisals.
Where was our moral indignation then?
.
As late as last July the Democrats
were concerned about Hussein's rising
claims on Kuwait, and passed a biII
calling for economic sanctions against
Iraq to warn Saddarn off. The White
House gutted that effort and 5 weeks
later Saddam invaded.
Does the U.S. government have any
right to morally judge Saddam? How was
the invasion of Kuwait different than our
invasion of Panama? The U.S. vetoed 2
U.N.
resolutions
condemning
our
it:lvasion. Did we have any regard for
national sovereignty in Libya, Grepada,
and during our .decade of involvement in
Nicaragua and El Salvador? During the
distraction of the Gulf War our
government gave 42.5 million more tax
dollars w the Salvadoran government At
the same time a helicopter went down
there; leaving more dead U.S. soldiers in
yet another war. The U.S. armed and
fmanced Israel's invasion of Lebanon .in
1982 and we continue to send massive
u.s. aid to Israel in spite of their
continued military occupation of the West
Bank and Gaza strip--Iand internationally
recognized as belonging to Lebanon,
Syria, and the Palestinians, also in
defiance of U.N. resolutions condem'ning
this military occupation.
How can we be willing to spill
American blood and gut American
resources over one military occupation
and not even be willing to acknowledge
the other? Our taxes continue to pay for
torture and repression in Turkey and
Saudi Arabia, our illustrious allies. So
much for the credibility of a "New World
Order" under the control of the U.N.
Was this Vietnam redemption, or
Panama revisited? Find a weak Third
World ' country, demonize its leader,
inflate its military prowess, send in the
troops, keep out the press. Remember all
of the alarm about Iraq's military might;
they staged one offensive campaign, how
pathetic. Why did Bush continue to bomb
Baghdad past February 27, after the
forces in Kuwait were routed? Did we
need to bOmb the retreating Iraqis? Did
we need to relentlessly bomb the only
road out of the country, "regrettably "
killing the fleeing civilians? .
Did the U.N. mandate include,
engaging ourselves in the civil war raging
in Iraq now, by shooting down their
planes? What did these actS of aggression
have to do with our stated · intent of
getting Saddarn out of Kuwait? Why
negotiate
couldn't we afford to
withdrawal? Bush had to forcibly
extricate Saddam to relegitimatize military
expenditures, and to secure U.S.
dominance in the region.
Every country that we have
successfully invaded/liberated we have
kept a military presence in or installed
our own head of state. How can we
dictate our democracy to the world and
give it despots like the Shah of Iran? So
is the war over? When will all of the
500,000 be home? The U.S. is only now
removing troops from Europe, 50 years
after WWII and we still have 50,000
troops in Korea.

publicly, and to join with others that are

WashPIRG for some time now and I
think this statement is long overdue.
First off, for an environmental -group,
, they produce more litter than any other
campus group with their glossy posters, '.
posted every ten feel It doesn't matter
that they say "printed on recyc~able ~
paper," all this means is that they've
taken garbage from elsewhere and
recyCled it into garbage here. ,
Some hippie has taken the time to go
over every poster and scrawl "Free Pizza"
with a marks-a-lol This is in an attempt
to bait might-be members. The reader
thinks, "Gee, I don't like WashPIRG that
much, but if I sit through a few hours of
it, I'll get free pizza." Makes me think of
time-share condo sales pitches.
And where do they get all this
money for free pizza, and hundreds of
expensive bi-color posters to litter about
campus? They get it from you, students,
who by not filling out waivers against
donating $3.50 to their group, give them
over $10,000 a year to spend on trying to
keep their group alive.
In spite of their advertising to combat
all 'politically correct' problems, from
homelessness, to air pollution, to anything
else that might seem to lure more
members, I don't know 'exactly what this
group does. Their CPJ articles don' t

d like to take this opportunity to
remind pet owners of the college policy
that prohibits dogs on campus except
when on leash--and the leash is in the
hand of an owner/handler. Security is
having to respond to a substantially
growing number of complaints about
uncontrolled dogs on campus, and the
problems they cause. .
Therefore, dog owners should
understand that if a dog is caught, there
will be a fine of $35-$60 they will have
to pay to Thurston County Animal
Control before the dog is released. If the
I:
owner is cited for a dog at large violation
or if the dog snaps at or bits someone
additional fines will range from $50 to
$250.
So, to avoid this kind of financial
impact plus the hassle of having to go
downtown to reclaim your dog, and to
stay on the right side of the pet
regulations (which are there to support
other people's rights not to be annoyed,
disturbed, or in some cases, severely
frightened) please don't bring your dog
on campus.

The business world is not just a
world for the owners of businesses, for
they could not ' create or sell their
products and services without those who
are a part of the labor force.
It is a tragedy that practically all
colleges and universities across the
country have "business schools," but only
a. handful have "labor schools." Failure
to have labor instruction is to create onesided education, surely not the goal of
those who believe in democracy. We are
fortunate that one of the very few labor
institutes in existence, an outstanding one
having national recognition, is located at
the Evergreen State College.
__ The Washington State Senate,
controlled by the Rq1Ublican party, has
now produced a budget that would
eliminate Evergreen's Labor Center. This
is a clear case of "biting off one's nose
to spite a face," for to destroy such a
successful educational tool for thousands
of people who benefit from the Center is
to tum people away from the legislative
process, to have them give up on
legislators ' who want to make education
in our State one-sided rather than
strengthen it for all citizens.
I hope those of us who are just as
much a part of keeping businesses
operating as are the owners, will make it
known to the Washington Senate and
House of Representatives that we need to
keep our Evergreen Labor Center.

The song holds a Beach Boys/Beatles bebop baby grip on your hean. The
juxtaposition of the two ideals screams
for attention, and got mine.
"Shivers" is a shallow rock ballad
that Meatloaf, if he has not already, will
someday reinake. The song itself is no
gerri. Yet, because of its mediocrity,it
bends well under the weight of a heavy
vocalist (That is NOT to say that
Meatloaf is a "heavy" vocalist, but he
does try.) Two versions of "Shivers"
grace the flip sides of Dogs, Nick Cave
on side A and Marie Hoy on side B;
both are worthwhile attempts which work
for different reasons.

Just because you're cheap, you don't

Expensive music perturbs my soul.
As a person who is frugal, I rebel against
the newly released, overpriced $10.95
tape. As Ii person who . is fmancially
insecure (poor, to ' readers who don't
speak governmentesc), I oan't afford a
$16.98 compact disk:. What then,is a
musically inclined plebeian like'myself to
do?
.
My affordable alternative has been
found in the cardboard crates of
frequently found "Best Buy" tapes. You
know the ones I mean; they often flank
the cash registers at music and book
stores, or have their own liule area in
drug and hardware stores. Country,
Classical, Jazz and Rock 'n Roll, all at
affordable price.
"Good music" is timeless, right?
Therefore, if it was good when you were

Students do well In Perry model
by Kirk ThompSon
The following is a summary of one of
the seven assessment projects Evergreen
has conducted to study how ' well
Evergreen works. There will be a public
discUssion of the assessment projects and
their implications Tuesday May 7 from 911 am (during Upweek).--editor
This
monograph
assesses
the
cognitive development of graduates of
The Evergreen State College. It models
the use of the "Perry Scheme" (perry,
1970, 1981) for assessing cognitive
development at the institutional level, and
it expands this method of assessment by
applying it to portfolio materials, in the
form of students' written self-evaluations
of academic achievement. The Perry
scheme or model was chosen for
assessing the impact of liberal arts and
sciences education because it focuses not
on skill development or disciplinary
expertise, but on cognitive development-on the students' ability to think and
learn in successively more complex ways.
The subjects were the "native" or
"indigenous" graduates of the college in
the late 1980s--those students who
entered as freshmen and stayed all four
years, thus exemplifying the maximum
educational impact of the College's
curriculum, emphasizing full-time, yearlong programs of interdisciplinary study.
The method was to use the rating
system deVised for the Measure of
Intellectual
Development instrument
(Knefelkamp, 1974; More, 1982/86. 1989;
Mentkowski, Moeser, & Strait, 1983) to
rate portfolio materials (narrative selfevaluations).
The principal findings were the
SlA, from page 2
following:
1. The freshman year proved to be the
year of the college's greatest impact on
its students. Evergreen students tended to
employ more complex cognitive structures
at matriculation than students elsewhere, '
and they advanced impressively during
the freshman year. ' A reasonable
interpretation is that interdi~ciplinary
studies successfully foster cognitive
development.
2. Freshman-to-senior movement also
matched and exceeded gains at other
institutions. Though there was little
overall gain in Perry ratings during the
sophomore and junior years, a "senior
surge" resulted in a high modal raLing ,
and boosted a comparatively unusual
number of students into what Perry
(1970) calls "contextually relativistic"
thinking, or into what Belenky et al.
(1986) call "constructed knowing." At this
level, students have attained a capacity to
utilize theories and models.
3. Individual gain was widespread, and
was not the result of a few students
running ahead of the pack and boosting
the average. The study confirmed that
~
Evergreen
does
not
foster
"Reaganomics" pattern of cognitive
development, in which the initially
advantaged profit disproportionately,
while others are left behind.
4. Demographic variables generally did
not predict higher cognitive development
ratings. In general, differences by
demographic categories were greater in
the freshman year than in the senior year,
suggesting that Evergreen education tends
to ameliorate social differences.

5. Academic variables suggested that
students seem to gain a little more if
they take over ,a year but under three
years of interdisciplinary coordinated
studies.
The overall conclusion: If the
students' own writing is good evidence,
and if the Perry scheme is an appropriate
model of cognitive development, then the
evidence of this study indicates the
college is accomplishing its mission. No
group appeared to be disadvantaged in
the overall pattern of achievement. An
innovative college might want to institute
changes,

multiculturalism; but innovation can
proceed from a position of strength,
rather than from a nec<d to repair what is
broken. From the standpoint of fostering
cognitive
development,
Evergreen's
alternative--small
classes,
and
interdisciplinary approach, and narrative
or developmental evaluation--would be
justified if its students rated as well as
students elsewhere. But by the outcome
measure used in this study, the altemative
seems to be moving ahead of the
mainstream.

A budget cut proposal by Govemor
Booth Gardner would have reduced

homes by $30 million in the coming

failed to pass the cuts (House Bill (HB-)

million from long-term care facilities

It has been raining on and off now for weeks, I can't tell by looking outside if it is going to rain for just a few minutes or
all day. Sometimes it is raining when the sun is shining. A friend of mine says that is the weather when witches get married. It
seems they like this kind of weather as much as I do.
I am looking out the window and the rain has Just stopped, The sun is coming through the wet trees and inside my window.
In the small grove, the trees are dripping brightly lit rain.

terns appreciate a little "spring cleaning"
after the heaviness of winter. 1be idea of a
tonic may seem. Old-fashioned, yet it is
harmonious with holistic health. A tonic
has a general effect on health. It tones the
whole body, especially the systems of elimination: oolon, kidneys. lung; and skin. Many
tonic herbs have additional functions. Most
are beneficial for the liver, which plays an
important role in detoxifiGltion.
A oonunon herbal name for a tonic f;
a "blood purifier." This somewhat elusive
term was ooined before many specific functions of the body were well understoodbefore the lymphatic sy.;tem had even been
discovered. Actually, the ·term is appropriate since many tonic herbs contain iron,
copper, or other substances that improve
the quality of the blood. The circulatory
system is also responsible for carrying toxins from the cells. If the

THIS WEEKS SCIENCE BIT:
If you are not yet familiar with the phenomenon of
"lucid dreaming", you may want to check it out.
Basicly,
through mental practice, one can learn to control their
dreams.
One 'technique is the daily "dream/real life"
check each day. Ask yourself, "Am I dreaming or awake?"
Do this many times a day for a few weeks. ' Eventually it
will become ingrained to the point where you will ask
yourself while dreaming.
At that point you will have
awareness of the dream-state.
Lucid dreamers can do
anything imaginable in their dreams. Flying and sex
are popular themes.
I prefer land surfing.

and with it Glme notixably boger days and
warmer weather. Spring is a time of new
life, of flowers, budding trees, lightness of
spirit and new beginnings. It has been a

gone through many changes spiritualJy,
emotionally and physi:ally. Winter has been
a time of hiberna tion, of going inside and
trying to get in touch with myself..Politically the global situation has been extremely
taxing. Winter has also been a time of ·
eating heavy foods, primarily roots - potatoes, carrots, yams, beets. For me eating
these heavy foods was a matter of survival
because I lived in a big, unheated house.

An Update on Our Past "Radiators"
3
Radiance maintains a high commitment to cruelty-free body care
products, and we have some new things to introduce to you!
by Kerri Merrill
Did you know that most body care
products that you buy in a grocery or department store are a mixture of petnH:hemicals with a few herbal ingredients tossed in
(notice they're at the end of the list.of
ingredients - that means there is precious
little there) to make them sound na tural?
Most mass producers of these products do
not give }OU much infonnatbn about whether
or not they use animal ingredients, c:>r if
their products are tested on animals.
The staff at Radiance is committed to
finding body care products that do NOT use
animal testing, and do NOT require the
death of an animal in making them. You'll
find that pure oils and botanicals are often
at the top of the ingredienl<; lists, and the
few synthetics' that are used are mostly
preservatives that keep the product fresh
longer. The companies we do business with
are all searching for and implementing ways
to reduce the synthetic ingredients to the
absolute minimum and still produce a high
quality, safe product for you. We have a
good dictionary of cosmetic ingredients in
the store ror}Ou to look up ingredients }Ou
are not familiar with.
The two products we are most impressed with recently are Aromalotion by
Body Love and Zia Skin Care products.
How is Aromalotion different? It is a light,
healing & moisturizing lotion with all pure
plant derived ingredients. It contains 50%
aloe vera which combines with apricot,
almond and sesame oils to provide a moistened smoothness to your skin. Herbal extracts of burdock, chamomile, comfrey and
vitamin E offer the skin cell regeneration,
soothing any irritatiOrL Enjoy the delightful
scent of lavender, geranium and tangerine
essential oils for an uplifting aroma therapy
treatment The preservative is grapefruit
seed e:xtraa (pmeered and pJUl.en by Aubrey
OrganiCS).
Aromatherapy - the forgotten nose
Ar,~matherapy is a fairly new name
for an ancient art and science in which oil
essences derived from herbs, flowers and
fruits are used to influence emotional states
and provide healing benefits. For more
infonnation, we suggest the following books:
The Art of Aroma therapy, by Robert B.

New Zia Skin Care now at Radiance
We are very pleased with the results
from the Zia skin care products we now
carry. Mait of Il'i are Il'iing :zja and kMng it
Fresh Papaya Enzyme Peel is one of Zia's
products that almait anyone can use even if
you have another line of skin care you are
using. It is a gentle, non-abrasive exfoliant
that contains high quantities of active proteolytic (the ability to digest dead protein)
enzymes in a natural base of organic, raw
green papaya A small amount of the pccl
left on your face for 5-7 minutes will dissolve surface build-up of dead skin cells,
leaving skin feeling smooth. Zia explains
that it is helpful to remove old dead cells
from the surface layer because they often
make the skin look dIY and dull, and these
cells also absorb any moisturi2er you put on
your face, thus not giving the new skin
underneath any benefit The peel has been
shown to be helpful in rejuvenating sundamaged skin, and if you have chosen to
use products like Retin-A, it can help eliminate some of the uncomfortable side elIects
when used in conjunction with il We have
testers of many of the Zia products we
carry. Ask for a demonstration if you'd like
to know more. See ad on this page.

when the body has an a llergic reaction to

have to get to the root of the allergy reaction
you may be having. Once you have more of
an idea about what questions to ask, talk to

Grapefruit Seed Extract is a biologically active natural extract that is being
used to treat strep, staph, salmonella, candida, herpes, influenza, parasites, fungi and
travek:r's diarrhea. Discovered in 1976 and
widely used in Europe, South America and
the far east, its broad-spectrum application
and efficacy seem quite remarkabk:. If you
are familiar with Aubrey Organics, you
may have noticed they've used it as a preservative in many of their products for
years. Using vegetabk: glycerine, the active
ingredient is extracted from the seeds of
grapefruit It is environmentally safe, quickly
biodegradable and its use does not cause
side effects. We are carrying the liquid

BREATIlE CLEAN NOW
Hi. My name is Micha and I\e been working III Radiance since September. Recently I
began ordering cards, books, posters and tarot
decks. Many exciting changes are in the works
for these areas and I'd like to share them with
you.
Recently I brought in Irene Nichols' cards.
She depicts, in bold colors, people of color,
wimmin, Mother Earth, goddess and animal
totem imagery. Her WOrk startles us into ancient
memories. Another new card line is Sulamith
Wulfing. Wulfing's images of flowers, goddesses, mythological figures, fairies, people
and animals are delicate and softer than Nichols,
but they, too, spark and stir deep feelings within
us. Wulling's cards and prints are now in stock.
Spring flower cards have also arrived and will
continue to, along with old favorite card lines
like Visionary and Jane E'A!rshcd I often rotate
card lines, so if your favorite cards aren't in,
check back in a few weeks.
Posters

For our sisters who may be considering an abortion ...
How Does Acupuncture Work?
The image of the Goddess inspires women to see ourselves as divine, our bodies as sacred, the
changing phases of our lives as holy, our aggressions as healthy, our anger as punIying, and our
power to nurtwe and create - but also to limit and destroy when necessary - as the very force that
sustains life.
- from The Spiral Dance, by Star hawk
Life is a process not a state. The Goddess is both womb and tomb; she gives birth, she creates
form, she nourishes, and she reabsorbs the outworn preparatory to its reshaping and rebirth. If she
were not the destroyer; she could not be the renewer

Certified Acupuncturist
Legend tells us that acupuncture was
born nearly 5,000 years ago. The Chinese
discovered that after certain points in the
body were struck by arrows in battle, a
variety of illnesses and physical problems
would disappear. By 200 B.C. a classic
textbook on Chinese Medicine had been
written. The insertion of needles into the
skin at certain points to treat specific diseases was described. This medical technique was performed by practitioners called
acupuncturists. Though versions of the art
of acupuncture were also practiced by the
ancient Egyptians, the Chinese went on to
highly develop this form of med icine. By
the time of Quist the art of acupuncture had
become a medical technology.

Acupuncture System

thetic effect
According to the repon of the John E
Fogerty International Center for Advanced
Study in Health Sciences: "Currently, about
15% to 25% of all surgery in major hospitals in China is performed under acupuncture anesthesia, with a reported sua:css rate
of about 90'%."
In the United States there are several
documented cases of acupuncture for ancsthesia dating from 1972. The teChnique
was flTSt used at Weiss Memorial Hospital
in Chicago on April 21, 1972 for a tonsillcctomy. Then on May 13 in the same year a
biopsy on the lower leg was performed
using acupuncture anesthesia at the State
Hospital in Northville, Michigan. Later
that week at the same hospital a 3O-ycar old
female had a tooth extracted under acupuncture anesthesia. No additional medication was required and the patient expcri-
Modem Research on Acupuncture
In spite of thousands of years of clinical application, no one was really aware of
how acupuncture worked scientifically -until recently. The ancient theories that
were passed on from century to century did
not anticipate the neuro~hemical discoveries that have occurred in the last twenty
years. It was not until Robert O. Becker's
work in 1976 that a true explanation of the
origin and basis of "Qi" was determined.
Dr. Becker, an orthopedic surgeon at
Stanford, was working wilh bone fractures
that were slow to heal. He noted tha t an
electrical current of low frequenlY, when
placed across an area of non-union in a
bone, accelerated the healing of that bone.
Fascinated by these results, Dr. Becker began
to study the acupuncture system to deterContinued on Page 12. ..

14 different channels or meridians which
affect the flow of energy throughout the
organs and limbs. The Chinese called this
energy "Qi". Along these channels were
specific loci or acupuncture points where
thi<; energy could be acces;ed. Health problems occurred when the flow of "Qi" was
irnJllired. Arupuooure v.as \SXI as a method

Non-animal tested Ella Bache products are used.
The effectiveness of acupuncture was

practitioners, Chinese phy.;idans have alway.;

Herbal Tonics
ronlinued from page 1...
Tonio; might have other actions that
have not yet been studied. Many of them
exhibit immune system-stimulating properties that make the body more resistant to
diseasc. They also tend to give people a
greater sense of well-being. Some speculate they could affect the endocrine system.
Until science delves more deeply into these
herbs' actions, we have hundreds of years
of experience to go on.
Today's root beers are descendants of
the original spring tonics. They are still
flavored with sassafras, sarsaparilla and
other tonic roots. Additional flavors may
include cinnamon, allspice, cloves, roriander and wintergreen. The earlier root beers
were really beers that were made at home
and lightly fermented to preserve them
through the summer. Now, root beers are
"soft" drinks (non-alcoholic) which have
carbon dioxide pumped into them for carbonation.
The same spring tonics used in previous centuries are recommended by herbalists today. Some well-known tonic herbs
include burdock, Chicory, dandelion, sarsaparilla, sassafras, and yellOW dock. These
can be prepared as tea by simmering one
ounre of the root (fresh or dried) in a pint of
water for ten to fifteen minutes, then straining. The herbs can be reused to make another batch of tea by adding a pint of water
and re-simmering.
Burdock (Artium lappa)
This root is one of the most popular
for skin problems, including eczema and
psoriasis. It is used as a skin wash, aswell
as a tea. It helps detoxify the liver and is
especially useful in skin di<iorders related to
IOxic accumulation in the body. It is thought

is a IightlaxatM: and a diuretic that can aID
increase sweating and benefit the lungs.
Burdock is used in Japanese cooking
and praised by the macrobiotics for its
health-giving properties.
Chicory (cichorium intybus)
A light laxative, diuretic amd liver
restorer, chicory is also a sedative for the
central neoous system. Its effect isn't sttong,
but suitable for people with jittery nerves. It

neutralize the effects of caffeine on the
nerves and liver. It also reduces stomach
aciJity, a common problem for coffee drinkers. In fact, roasted chicory is used as a
coffee substitute or blended with coffee to
extend it People with low energy or underactive hearts should avoid using chirory on
a regular basis. Chicory is a slight stimulant
to the endocrine system.
Dandelion (taraxacum officinale)
Dandelion is considered one of the
safest and m(l;t tonic of the herbal diuretio;.
It is used for all liver problems and is a
SpecifIC when liver disorders result in Wclter
retention. It also stimulates the digestive
system, the gall bladder and is a light laxative. Dandelion normalizes ali overacid
stomach and helps to eliminate intestinal
gas. In Germany, dandelion extracts are
sold for liver complaints. Pharmacists used
to sell dandelion juice pressed from the
. fresh roots.
Like chiCOry, dandelion roots are
roasted to make a coffee substitute. They
can also be added 10 "the coffee substitute
blend in raw form, since dandelion does
lose some of its medicinal properties during
roasting. If harvesting roots yourself, go for
ones that are large and at least two years
old. Spring-harvested roolS are sweeter and
rontain more digestive properties. They are
preferred by most sources, but some references suggest that more bitler, fall harvested roots produce a better coffee flavor.
Sarsaparilla (Smilax oflicinalis)
Besides being a gentle laxative, diaphoretic (encourages sweating) and diuretic, sarsaparilla aids circulation of the
blood. It helps eliminate uric acid and is
used for gout and rheumatism. It also rontains vitamin C 1be hormone testosterone,
responsible for the sex drive, is slightly
increased by sarsaparilla. 1be root has been
used for colds, fevers, and lung rongestion,
and also helps eliminate intestinal gas. It
tends to be used more in combination with
other herbs than alone. Together with burdock root, sarsaparilla is taken for many
types of skin problems, including fungal
diseases like ringworm and viral diseases
like herpes. It is useed for various chronic
inflammatory diseases and lymphaOC problems. Constant use can irritate the intestines fOr some, but srnan quantiti:::s 10 S\\eCten
often-used herb blends are fine.
Sassafras (Sassafras albidum)
The root bark of sassafras, beneficial
(
(
I
to the digestM: system, is a diaphoretic and
a diuretic. Aweak central nervous system
depressant, it has been used to relieve pain.
It also hel~ relieve rheumatism, gout and
menstrual sluggishness.
In all filirness to scientific research, a
study in the early 1960's found that safrole,
a ronstituent of ~ caused cancer in
rats, at least in massive doses. This study
received much press, and sassafras was
subsequently restricted by the FDA Natural food stores are supposed to label it, "not
for ronsumption. .. But is it a carcinogen for
humans? A 1977 study in Switzerland railed
this question when folunteers taking safrole did not produce cancer<ausing substances. The rats, however, did produce
these substances in the second study, suggesting perhaps a difference between rats
and humans, or even questioning the validity of animal tests. In any event, sassafras
use is a personal decision.
Yellow Dock (Rumex crispus)
Yellow dock is primarily a laxative
that tones the iittestinal tract It has been
us~d Jo~ numerous skin afflictions, especially ones that are eruptive and oozing. It
is used directly on \munds as a skin wash or
a poultice of mashed roots, often blended
with sarsaparilla and burdock. The root has
a high iron rontent and has long been used
to enrich the blood. Uke other to~, yellow dock is used for liver problems. It helps
reduce lymphatic congestion and swelling. .
For those recovering slowly from illness,
yellow dock boostslhe lymphatic system.

mine whether electricity was a factor in the
results of this therapy.
Dr. Becker presented his study in a
paper entitled, "Electro-physiological Correlates of Acupuncture Points and Meridians." He theorized that the acupuncture
system worked as a biological regulator.
Through the external techniq ue of acupuncture point stimulation, the internal
system of the body could be directly influenred. Dr. Becker's experiments revealed
that acupuncture was mediated through an
electrical system in the body. Inspired by
these discoveries other scientists ini~ted
extensive research to explain acupuncture.
Acupuncture and Neuro-Chemistry
Acupuncture affects the central nervous system sending messages to spinal nerves
and the brain. These messages may moderate pain, increase circulation, stimulate the
immune system, or act in other very specific ways. The exact mechanism of how
this occurs is still being researched, but

Incense Sets the Mood
Almost everyone has had the experience of smelling something in the air and
being vividly reminded of another time or
place where that particular odor was present Thi<; "associative" or evocative nature
of fragrance has its roots in the structure of
the human body itself. The sense of smell
differs from the other major senses in that it
is more primitive, working more directly
with that part of the brain which is "older"
in an evolutionary sern.c than the rest
The odor of bread rising, a heady,
yeasty smell, may bring back moments
spent in the kitchen in childhood, together
with intense rerol\ections of how the place
looked or what what people said or did
many years ago. In exactly the same manner, the fragranre of incense - carrixl lightly
through the air - may evoke thoughts and
feelings, setting the mind at rest or into a rereptiveness for images of all kinds. It i'i for
~ reason that incense has been used for
millenia in conjunction with worShip,
meditation and prayer. And, needless to
say, for the same reason it has been used to
eliminate or rover other odors which emke
unpleasant associations.
Iricense is unlike other kinds of perfumes because it is designed to spread fragrance to its target right now, to do its work
in creating an atmosphere or setting a tranquil pace for whatever activity is intended.
It is also infinitely more versatile than other
perfumes, because it goes far beyond being
just a perfume: good il)cense makes use of
substances (tree barks and sap;, roots, flowers and other botanical products) which
cannot be Iiquified or isolated into a perfume or rologne. And in the burning, ingredients of extremely differing forms combine into a single, unique bouquet containing subtle tones or shading>.
13
And of course there are the resins
(from plants, mainly trees) which vaporize
when burned on charcoal, producing the
never-to-be-forgotten smells of ancient
basilicas, temples and churches. Frankincense is an example of a well-known resin
incense. Resins tend to reconstitute themselves on the surface or walls and ceilings
in microscopically thin layers, eventually
giving the place where they are used an
olfactory character which is essentially
permanent

. a heightened, special meaning.
The Native American tradition
includes the use of different local plants to
cleanse rooms and meeting areas. The herbs
we are most fumiliar with include mountain
sage (often bundled into what is called a
"Smudge Stick), wild white sage (thi'i has a
much larger leaf and a unique fragranre),
sweetgrass, juniper, pinon, mesquite and

Of course, how well that special
meaning is evoked depends greatly upon
the quality of the incense used, as well as
the personal tastes of the user. Thal is why

New Pricing System for our Herbs
"Let's see now, am I supposed to
write down the pri:e per pound or the prre
per ounce on each bag?" You don't have to
think about it anymore. When you buy bulk
herbs, teas and potpourris we now have a
much easier pricing system.Each jar has a
4-<ligit number on the lid. Simply write the
Jar # on each bag and we'll take it from
tllere. Your receipt will list the name of
each herb you purchase now. This sy.;tem is
similar to how you purchase bulk items in
the grocery store. We hope this is more
convenient for you. Your comments are
welcome.
More Organic Herbs, Fewer Powdered
Herbs in Stock
We are making great progress in finding more organic and appropriately
wildcrafled herbs. In the last few months
we have added organic Chamomile, Gotu
Kola, Flax Seed, Linde n Flower, Meadowsweet, Milk Thistle Seed, Orange Peel,
Osha Root, Skullcap, Uva Ursi, Yarrow,
ParsEy, Oregano and Basil. 1bere are many
more ... please check our new Complete
Listing of Bulk Herbs, Teas & Potpourris
on page ]4.
You may have noticed that we have
been phasing out many of our powdered
medicinal herbs, and there's a good n:ason
]5
for it. Powders can sometimes be made
from lower quality herbs. and beaiuse they
are powdered, they tend to lose their potency much faster than whole or cut herbs.
We still have a few powders in stock such as
Slippery Elm Bark, Goldensea~ Echinacea,
Marshmallow Root, etc.- these herbs are
either very difficult to grind up, or/and they
are reasonably stable in powder form, and/
or we seD enough that potency loss is not a
large concern. We do have some concerns
about Echinacea powder, and we may decide to discontinue it.
When you need an herb in powder
form, we can grind up small quantities for
you while you wait. If you plan to do a lot
of grinding, we suggest you invest in a good
porcelain mortar & pesUe (available from
$5.95 - $13.95), or an electric colIee grinder
(usuaUy around $20 - $25 at Pay 'N Save or
Ernst; we have them occasionally). Don't
use the same grinder you grind your coffee
in bealuse you'D affect the taste of both the
herb and your coffee! Some herbs' effectiveness may also be affected by the oils
from roffee beans.
How Swedish Bitters Makes It Better
Which of the following "four funda mental flavors" was missing from your last
night on the town or holiday meal?
Sweet
_Sour
_Salty
_Bitter
If you're like most people the world
over, tllat bitter taste is generally absent
from your diet - perhaps even missing
completely. But without it, you'll never
have the complete balance of flavors nature
intended. This is important for more reasons than just taste. Each taste begins - the
instant it touches your tongue - to generate
hundreds of biological reactions throughout tlle entire body. Some, like the sensafuns of flavors themselves, are quite obvious. Others, like the stimulation of various
internal organs and body functions, are
much more subtle. Yet each plays a vital
and powerful role in maintaining )OUT health
and happiness.
A bitter taste has a profound effect on
the digeslive system, especially the liver,
the keeper of balance within the body. The
liver's job is to produce fluids that aid
digestion as well as to rid the system of
excess and toxins. What the liver does is
exactly what you need mait after eating or
drinking too much of a good thing. But
that's the time when the liver, and many
other important"functions in your system,
are overnurked and tired out
Swedish Bitters has been a vital part
of "spring cleansing" programs in Europe
for hundreds of years. Its safe, yet potent
formula of eleven trusted herbs goes to
work immediately to stimulate and revitalize our sluggish intestinal tract, promoting
more complete digestion and regularity.
Swedish Bitters is a powerful blood
cleanser too, and thus helps to detoxify the
entire sy.;tem. Many people report mat they
not only feel more vital and alive after
using this formula, they actually think more
clearly and feel happier as well.
Using Swedish Bitters, along with a
cleansing tea such as Stinging Nettle, will
aid digestion. Incorporating more fresh and
raw vegetable salads using wild and garden
grown leafy greens (including dandelion!)
is especiaUy recommended. A spring cleans. ing diet as described here can last for two to
three weeks, depending upon your condition and how you feel Swedish Bitters are
available at Radiance. Thi<i information is
provided by Natureworks, the manufacturer of Swedish Bitters.
