Wabash Valley CHIP #2 (Coronary Health Improvement Project)
Wabash Valley CHIP #2 is over half way finished. This expanded pilot
program offered at Clabber Girl‟s upstairs conference room has been
fun and educational with participants who are pleased and excited by
improvements they are experiencing. Chamber of Commerce member
William Carper, who is the plant manager for Columbian Home
Products, has been writing about his experience for The Tribune Star.
See his articles on Thursdays.
Participants have learned the why and how of healthy lifestyle changes
that can reverse heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure
including a way of eating that is under 20% fat and rich in unprocessed
“foods as grown,” moderate exercise, techniques for coping with stress
and most importantly have experienced the group support.
There have been optional grocery
store tours and two “Applied
Nutrition Workshops” offered by
Susan Landess, CHIP Director
from Anderson IN and Sylvia
Middaugh, co-coordinator for the
local course. The workshops
include demonstrations and
samples of healthy dishes. The
second workshop pictured here
focused on healthy holiday foods and how to stay true to lifestyle
changes during the holidays.
Most sessions of the course include information, demonstrations and
samples of recommended food. Health screens with measurement and
lab work were done at the beginning of the course and will be repeated
prior to graduation just before Thanksgiving.
Our thanks again to our co-sponsors The Chamber of Commerce and
Clabber Girl plus support from AET and Columbian Home Products.
We would like to highlight that Clabber Girl produces aluminum free
Rumford baking powder as well as cornstarch that is free of genetically
modified corn right here in their Terre Haute plant.
CHIP #3 will be offered starting on February 7, 2011.

Acupressure for
Tension
Headaches

“A great wind is
blowing, and
that gives you
either
imagination or
a headache.”
-Catherine the Great
Tension headaches or “Stress
Headaches” are the most
common type of headaches
occurring among adults,
occurring twice as often in
women as in men. According to
the Journal of the American
Medical Association,
“Headaches are one of the most
common health complaints.”
Tension headaches are
generally described as a feeling
of tightness or a band-like
pressure felt around the back of
the neck or the head, or in the
forehead region. The pain from
a tension headache is usually
dull in nature, and generally
occurs on both sides of the
head. It usually comes on
gradually and does not prohibit
a person from continuing their
According to theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tension
Headaches are caused by an imbalance in the natural flow of vital
energy, or “chi” throughout the body. While the chi generally flows
uninterrupted in an upward and downward motion, stress, lifestyle
activities, diet, etc... can all play a role in how well our chi functions
and how freely it flows. For example, according to theories of
Traditional Chinese Medicine, a tension headache could be caused by
too much (excessive) chi in the head. This could be caused when
someone sits and concentrates for a prolonged period of time, such as
when working on a project while at the computer, and they don‟t take
time to get up and move around or stretch. A second example of a
tension headache could be one that is caused by not enough (deficient)
chi flowing to the head. This could occur when someone is involved in
many different things at once, experiencing a lot of “busyness or
running around” and not taking time to slow down and relax. In both of
these examples, the onset of a tension headache was precipitated by an
imbalance of activity level which led to the disrupted flow of chi and
thus the headache.
While the use of over-the-counter analgesics are often a first choice for
relieving tension headache pain, the benefit of alternative therapies such
as acupressure should not be overlooked as a natural treatment option.
While there are several acupressure points that can be utilized in the
treatment of tension headaches, from my years of clinical practice I
have found three particular points which are especially helpful for this
type of headache. Keep in mind that for the novice who is just learning
how to apply acupressure techniques, a great benefit can be experienced
from massaging just one or two acupressure points, so we will direct
our efforts toward these three highly effective points.
A key acupressure point that
is used to treat many types
of head or neck pain is
found in the hand in the web
space between the thumb
and the first finger. (Please
note that this point should
not be used by those who
are pregnant as it may
produce uterine contractions
Joining of the Valleys LI 4
and could be harmful to the unborn child.) This acupressure point is
called “Joining of the Valleys” (LI4). The easiest way that I have found
to locate and then massage this point is to squeeze the soft tissue in the
web space, close to where the bones join in the hand. You may
experience a fairly sharp pain or feeling of discomfort when you
massage this area. You may press and hold the area, massage in small
circles, or use a pulsating pressure. All are effective treatment
techniques, and every person will be different in what they feel is the
most tolerable sensation and
which technique they prefer.
Massage the area for one to two
minutes or until you feel your
headache lessening. Shut your
eyes and slow down your
breathing while doing the
acupressure massage. Massage
both hands.
A second set of acupressure
points for the treatment of
tension headaches is found at
the base of the skull. These
points are called the “Gates of
Consciousness” (GB 20).
Massage of these points is
particularly helpful for the
treatment of tension headache
pain which is located at the base
of the head or neck, or behind
the eyes. To find these points,
place your thumbs at the back
of the skull, approximately two
inches out from the middle of
the back of the head.
Gates of Consciousness GB 20
Your thumbs should slip into a
small groove or indentation.
Direct your pressure upward
toward the back of the eyes and
press and hold, or massage in
very small circles. Don‟t be
surprised if you start breathing
easier while massaging these
points, as they are also used for
the treatment of sinus
congestion.
An alternative method to apply
pressure to the Gates of
Consciousness is to place 2
tennis balls in a sock. Tie the sock in a knot so that the balls cannot
move around, and then lie down on a firm surface and place the tennis
balls at the back of the neck , at the base of the skull. The tennis balls
are the appropriate width so that they will apply pressure to the Gates of
Consciousness while you lie down and relax. You may also massage
the Joining of the Valleys points while you are lying down on the tennis
balls. Remember to breathe slowly and deeply, and relax.

Tennis balls at GB-20
The final set of points for treating tension headaches are not traditional
acupressure points, however are „tender points‟ or „ashi‟ points. I have
found these points to be very beneficial in the treatment of pain which is
located in the forehead region or in the side of the head. Locate these
points by pressing into the center of your temple, straight out from the
corner of your eyes. The tip of your finger should slip into a small
indentation. Massage this area in small circles with a firm pressure for
one to two minutes or until you feel your headache lessening. As with
traditional acupressure points, it is beneficial to shut your eyes, relax
and breathe slowly and deeply while performing acupressure massage
to ashi points.
While tension headaches are a common occurrence for some people,
they can be easily relieved with acupressure massage. A well rounded
approach to the treatment of this type of headache includes relaxation
exercises, deep breathing, and stress reduction. Perhaps we could all
benefit from the wisdom of the Traditional Chinese and make an effort
to balance the flow of our chi by being attentive to our bodies‟ signs of
stress, responding to it in a timely manner, and by practicing
moderation in our activity.
Please consult your physician if you have persistent headaches, new,
severe headaches, or headaches associated with any neurological signs
such as vision changes, weakness, numbness or tingling, or loss of
balance, or headaches that keep getting worse or won’t go away.

SOcKS
SPECIAL THANKS
Are you interested in the relationship between food and sex? Why tea
is better for you than other beverages? What kind of vegetable has the
amino acids of meat but none of the saturated fats? Have you ever
wondered what “live foods” are? Do you want to know what quinoa is
and why it can be considered the “mother grain”? Then THE
DAWNING OF THE AGE OF ASPARAGUS: Give Peas a
chance! is a book for you. Chef Wendell Fowler‟s advice is as
interesting as it is informative. He lives his motto, “Live to eat.” His
surgeon states that “his coronary arteries were clean as a whistle.”
I was intrigued to find out that “when raw garlic is cut or smashed with
a hard blow from the side of a French knife, an enzyme contained
within the cell walls combines with the amino acids, creating a new
compound called allicin, which has shown to kill 23 types of bacteria.
After smashing or mincing it let it stand for 15 minutes before cooking
to allow the chemicals to active.” pg 103
The first part of the book is dedicated to research and information about
why a vegetarian diet is healthful. The last half is filled with easy and
realistic recipes for healthful living. The following recipe tastes much
like humus, takes about 10 minutes to fix and keeps well. It is great as a
vegetable dip or for a snack with pita bread.

TRIBUTE
AND
FAREWELL
to
Anne Mishler, CNM
and
Helen Beane, CNM
Regretfully and with a deep
sigh for the Women of the
Wabash Valley we bid farewell
to Anne and Helen, whose
positions were terminated by
Union Hospital when The
Union Hospital Maternal Health
Clinic was dissolved as a
separate hospital department
and encompassed by The
Family Medicine Center.
The deep appreciation and
regard for Anne and Helen‟s
contributions to compassionate
and respectful care for women
was illustrated by the upwelling
of support to them. An online
petition was begun with many
signatures and women picketed
the hospital for several days.
As certified nurse midwife
pioneers in Terre Haute, they
were champions for supporting
women‟s birth plans especially
those who sought natural
unmedicated births. They had
the patience and skill to assist
women through the often
empowering experience of
birthing their children (rather
than being delivered.) Their
gentle humor and sunny
We are deeply saddened that their services will no longer be available in
the Wabash Valley, and we wish them both the
best as they pursue new opportunities. Anne will
be working with the Clarian Arnett Clinic in
Lafayette, Indiana and Helen has started a new
job with HealthNet, a federally qualified
community health center in Indianapolis that
uses Methodist Hospital.
Both will be able to use
their experience and skills for office and hospital
care which will include water births - a popular
and desired service that we were never able to get
approval to offer locally.
Bringing midwifery services to our community
and assisting the Maternal Health Clinic to exist in a separate location
were two of the main goals that lead to the birth of the nonprofit Maple
Center. For 5 ½ years, affordable excellent empowering
multidisciplinary care with a focus on access and public health support
to pregnant women was available to all. We give tribute and thanks to
all who invested their time, talent and money to support these services.
The Maple Center continues to offer Childbirth Classes taught by
Annette Alexander, certified doula, for those who desire smaller classes
with education that is focused on preparing for natural childbirth. The
Breastfeeding Coalition of the Wabash Valley is also is housed at The
Maple Center, Inc.

Gardening 101The Glory of Sweet Potatoes
I would like to share a little information about harvesting, curing,
storing and eating this glorious vegetable. In order to stay seasonal I
will only talk about the fall aspects of the sweet potato and wait till a
later article in the spring to discuss planting and growing.
By this time the sweet potatoes should already have been harvested
from the garden due to the frost and cold weather that has already
occurred.
Sweet potatoes need to be dug either before or IMMEDIATELY after
the first frost because once the vines have been blackened by the frost
the tubers will become vulnerable to rot. Since the frost caught us by
surprise one morning this fall we went out to the garden and pulled up
the vines. The next day we dug the sweet potatoes out of the ground. A
potato fork can be used but it is very important to dig carefully, starting
back away from the center of the hill so as not to damage the tender
skins. Any cuts or nicks will encourage the potatoes to spoil in storage.
I personally like to take a small trowel, get down on my hands and
knees (a.k.a. “the dirt queen”) and with my garden gloves on I dig into
the ground without a potato fork to harvest the potatoes. This is what
my mom used to refer to as “grubbing for potatoes”
It‟s such a treat to find the first few which are often the bigger ones but
then to keep digging and find several more smaller ones (the size and
amount of potatoes depends on the variety that is planted as well as the
weather during the growing season). This year from 7 original plants we
harvest 100 pounds of sweet potatoes.
Once the potatoes are dug up it is best to leave them in a sunny dry spot
for a day or two to “harden off”. This helps them seal the cracks, nicks,
etc. so they will stay good in storage much better and longer.
We like to leave our dug sweet potatoes in the garden, preferably
placing them on top of the straw that we have used for mulch. In order
to keep them dry we lay a tarp gently over them at night and remove it
the next day so the sun can do its job. We will do this for 2-3 days then
move them on to the next stage of curing them.
Sweet potatoes on the straw curing in the garden
In order to cure the sweet
potatoes, which means the
starches will turn to sugar and
they truly will have that
wonderful sweet taste, they
need to be put in some type of
container and placed in a warm
(around 85-90 degrees) spot for
about 10 days. A few years ago
my husband came up with the
wonderful idea that we could
accomplish this stage by placing
the potatoes in the backseat of
an old car that sits behind our
barn and no longer runs. Not
only has this been a wonderful
way to cure the sweet potatoes
it also has given me a whole
new perspective on that “old
piece of junk sitting out back”.
This stage of curing the sweet
potatoes is absolutely essential
if you want good taste,
otherwise the potatoes will have
a very starchy texture and bland
disappointing taste.
After the curing process is done
(I usually will bake one after
about 10 days to see if they are
ready for storage and if they are
not sweet yet we leave them to
cure for a few more days) the
tubers need to be stored in a
cool place…about 55 degrees.
Sweet potatoes getting ready to go to
storage after curing was complete. We
put them on the picnic table as we were
weighing them.
Interesting shape-we called it the sweet potato goose
Properly cured and stored, sweet potatoes should keep for several
months. We will almost always have sweet potatoes all winter and when
spring arrives again the left over ones hopefully are anxious to start
sprouting so we can think about using them to grow the sweet potato
“slips” which starts the whole cycle all over again.
Last, but certainly not least, is the heavenly delight of eating this
wonderful vegetable. I know this time of year a lot of people will add
marshmallows, brown sugar and other items to a Thanksgiving dish but
I prefer mine baked plain just like you bake an Irish potato and thus
enjoying the natural goodness of the potato. We also like them cut into
thin strips, put on a cookie sheet and baked at 400-450 degrees for ~30
minutes in order to have sweet potato fries.
Of all the vegetables in the garden, the common sweet potato may be
the only one that can supply the full nutritional needs of the adult
human.
ENJOY!
