I have saved an article titled "Food Science" published in Science

News v.


136 11/11/89 reporting on the annual meeting of the American Dietetic

Association in Kansas City, MO. It states in part:


"Though simmering a pot roast at 185 deg.F for 2 1/2 hours removed 95%

of

the red wine added, 25 minutes of baking at 375 deg.F retained 45% of the



dry sherry in scalloped oysters."
Other 'stics quoted are similar to the other article posted.

Thank you for this information. Just FYI: This data was initially

established by FDA research; a study was subsequently published in

the April 1992 edition of the Journal of the American Dietetic

Association (JADA). I was able to find the citation on PubMed, but

JADA issues prior to 1993 are not available online. If anyone would

like to read the study at a library, the citation is: J Am Diet

That's a pretty wild claim.
Can you site the page and reference for this, please (using the DSM-IV-TR,

which


is the most current edition).
I've always used the two books as mutually complementary. I have never found

any incongruence between the two approaches with diagnostics or treatment

approaches.
But, I'm willing to learn something new . . . .

Where might I find more about how the 6th Tradition of non-affiliation came

entertaining.
Bill W. says "...most alcoholics are bankrupt idealists."

Does that phrase pop up anyplace else? Thanks, Larry in NM.

No doubt the misinformation they put out is confusing to some people.

However, AA cannot have an opinion on it.


On the other hand, NCADD (the national council on alcoholism and drug

dependence) http://www.ncadd.org and ASAM (the American Society of Addiction

Medicine) composed of physicians dedicated to the field of Addiction

Medicine


http://www.asam.org are the two lead organizations regarding public

education

and advocacy on alcoholism.
Their mission is to promote understanding of the illness and they have the

most


scientifically reliable statistics.
I suggest wherever possible to direct people to their websites.

Unfortunately, I believe there is a much more serious and

disconcerting side to James H and his affiliation as the poster child

for the "Back to Basics" (B2B) organization. B2B propagates

revisionist AA

history in a classic example of manufacturing an idyllic scenario portraying

the


AA program of Recovery in the "old days" and then manufacturing a

contrasting

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Hi All -
The scientific literature abounds with research results regarding

the desease models for alcoholism. You can find excellent reviews

of these results written for general audiences in two books (both

available from Amazon.com):


Under the Influence : A Guide to the Myths and Realities of

Alcoholism (Paperback)by Milam and Ketchum


and
Beyond the Influence : Understanding and Defeating Alcoholism -- by

Katherine Ketcham, et al; Paperback by Ketchum et. al.


The second book is fairly recent and covers information reported

since the first book came out in the late 1970s. Neither qualifies

as a citation from the scientific literature but both are well

researched and cite leading references.


If you have access to a university library you might look at:
M. Heilig and M. Egli "Models for Alcohol Dependence: A Clinical

Perspective" in "Drug Discovery Today: Disease Models" Vol 2,

No.

4, 2005.
I can provide this article as a pdf file to any interested members of



this group. It contains 45 citations to recent scientific

publications and will be a good starting point for anyone interested

in delving into the (voluminous) primary scientific literature

covering this subject.

From: "jlobdell54" (jlobdell54 at

Art,

While I hold no particular brief for James Houck and none for

BtoB, I should point out that Bill and Fitz did go to OG House Parties in MD

(including Frederick) certainly in 1935-36 and possibly 1936-1937.


But the trips they took began at Fitz's farm in Cumberstone,

and while Fitz's son remembered Bill coming down and Bill and Fitz

spending time together at the farm before they went off house-partying (Fitz

Jr

was 13-14 at the time), to the best of his knowledge no one named James



Houck

was ever at the house, nor did he ever hear the name.


He has vivid memories of Bill and Fitz playing fiddle and banjo

and singing in the parlor, with Bill singing Northern songs and Fitz

singing Southern songs.
He remembers Jim B and Jim's cousin Churchy --but no James Houck.
He could of course have attended House Parties where Bill and Fitz were

present


-- probably did -- but not with them in any strong sense of the word with.

From: "Susan Krieger" (susank at qis.net)
James Houck came into the Baltimore AA office about 15 years ago or so. I

don't remember the exact year. His grandson is a member of AA. He wanted to

post his sobriety anniversary and would have made his sobriety older than

1935 or the beginning of AA. He said that he attended the Oxford Group. He

may have just started at that time to attend our local meetings. We would

not list his sobriety date to be older than AA. He has listed his name a

couple of times. I have had several calls about who was he. No one in this

area knew JH. I was at a Convention where in a count down he took away being

the oldest member of AA from our well known members. When he was in the

Office I asked him if he had ever had a drinking problem. His answer to me

was "I had an honesty problem."

My name is Bill H. from Area 29 Maryland.
As chairperson of the archives, I interviewed James Houck for ten hours. The

only real thing I got out of the interview is that he knew Bill W and Fitz

M. ( Our Southern Friend) from going to Oxford group meetings in Frederick,

Maryland. Bill would come down to Fitz's house outside of Annapolis and they

would

drive to Frederick, Maryland.


James Houck never mentioned a thing about being a recovering alcoholic in AA

and to my recollection of the tape, never attended AA His only claim to

fame is to be one of the only living people to know Bill and Fitz All he

talked


about was the Oxford Group and he really did not have much real regard for

AA.

That friend of James Houck's is Wally and yes he is still alive and for what

it's worth there is a grievance file through GSO about those workshops.

______________________________
From: Tommy H. (recoveredbygrace at

yahoo.com)


Several years ago I attended Wally`s Back to the Basics one day

workshop in Wilmington,NC.


James H. could not appear in person, but he did

address the crowd of around 100 AA men and women by

teleconference from the rest home he is staying at. I have never heard

James say he was an active member of AA, but I have heard him say he had

spoke in numerous one day workshops hosted by Wally P. Those workshops

were mostly attended by AA`s. I have copies of several tapes of some of

those talks. Those talk were given in several formats, including a

Christian Walk thru the steps of AA.


James seemed more interested in teaching others about Two Way Prayer

then talking about AA .

regarding Genetics of Alcoholism

From: dayatatime1950 . . . . . . . . . . . . 1/11/2006 11:27:00 PM
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Hi All -
I have had a lot of responses to my earlier posting regarding

scientific evidence of the genetics of alcoholism. As a result I have gone

back

to the literature and looked for a more seminal publication with a more



general

treatment. Truth be told, looking stuff up is kind of a hobby of mine.


Anyway, I have found:
"The genetics of alcoholism" Current Opinion in Genetics and

Development, Volume

8, Issue 3, June 1998, Pages 282-286

Alison M Goate and Howard J Edenberg


Again, I can supply anyone who is interested with a pdf file of this

article if you will write to me direct at:


(dayatatime1950 at yahoo.com)
It is much more readable than the other article I cited

previously. In it the authors state "evidence from twin, adoption and

family

stuides suggest alcoholism is a complex trait resulting from the action of



multiple interacting genes and the environment". They go on to describe

efforts


to identify the specific genes that are associated with alcoholism in

humans.


Some progress has been made

toward this goal.

Russ Hillard
