[What is St. John's wort]

St. John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) has a history of use as a medicine dating back to ancient Greece, where it was used for a range of illnesses, including various nervous disorders. St. John’s wort also has antibacterial, antioxidant, and antiviral properties. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it has been applied to the skin to help heal wounds and burns. St. John’s wort is one of the most commonly purchased herbal products in the United States.

In recent years, St. John’s wort has been studied extensively as a treatment for depression. Most studies show that St. John’s wort may help treat mild-to-moderate depression, and has fewer side effects than most other prescription antidepressants.

Famed Impressionist artist, Mary Elizabeth Price, returned to New Hope from New York in the late 1920s, taking up residence in “Pumpkin Seed”, an old stone cottage along the Delaware Canal, where she remained until 1965. The newly renovated Pumpkin Seed Cottage, still with its enchanting canal-side setting, retains all of its charm and historical significance; now it also clearly deserves recognition as one of the residential “gems” of the Delaware River Valley, having been fine-tuned in the past 15 months to become a magazine-worthy retreat. Imagine sitting near one of two cozy fireplaces and gazing out the window at the gently flowing canal waters? Or walk out the door and meander along the canal path into the village of New Hope Borough.

Review of Biological Chemistry, including Carbohydrates (monosaccharides, disaccharides & polysaccharides) and Lipids (saturated & unsaturated fatty acids). Reference is made to 5-C monosaccharides (ribose & deoxyribose) & 6-C sugars (glucose, fructose & galactose and the concept of chemical isomers). Reference is made to disaccharides (sucrose, lactose & maltose and the concepts of dehydration synthesis reactions & hydrolysis reactions). Reference is made to polysaccharides [Amylose ("Starch"); Cellulose ("Insoluble Fiber"); Glycogen]. Comparison is made between properites of saturated fatty acids & unsaturated fatty acids and what are “hydrogenated vegetable oils”
