ANSWER —A Wysox reader writes that as a child of Penn
sylvania Dutch heritage, she had been taken to someone to do
“pcw-wow" on her for an ailment of some kind. She was too
young to remember what was involved. She wanted some
background information on pow-wow. Thanks to Lester K.
Burkholder, Fredericksburg, for sending the following informa
tion: Powwing is the English name given to the practice known
in the German language as Braucherey. The word pow-wow is
a direct translation from the Algonquian Indian language which
means communication with the dream and spirit world. The
word Braucherey is thought to originate from the ancient
Hebrew word of Baruch that means to bless. This is not to be
confused with a blessing from the almighty God where the
Hebrew word of Brakah is always used.
The practice was brought into America from the old world by
the early settlers. Brauchery (powowing) goes back to ancient
sources and carries an occult mood. It is thought that most of
these practices originated from ancient Egyptian practices of
sorcery and were passed down through the generations. The
practices used in powwowing are mystical and require faith in
them to work.

ANSWER —Bonnie Gibble of Ono needs information on
how to stop her dog from chewing on his leg and taking off
hair and flesh. He is now eating dirt, which he didn’t do
before. Could he be lacking something in his system? Vet is
no help with lotions, which can stop it in one area but the dog
will start eating at another place. Thanks to Ruth Erb,
Beavertown, for answering. She read in health newsletters
about dogs being helped by Proanthocyanidin (brand name
Pycnogenof) an extract of grape seeds or a particular pine
needle. It is a natural anti-inflammatory that does not cause
stomach ulcers. Walmart sells Proanthocyanidin reasonab
ly. Try giving your dog one a day. He should probably chew it
up, if not, crush and sprinkle on his food. Try for two or three
months at least. Ruth writes that she has taken it for years
for a chronic muscle disease that is incurable. The only side
effect in humans found thus far is a possible B vitamin deple
tion. Ruth takes extra B vitamines for this. If the therapy
doesn’t work, ask your vet about Chondroitan Complex.
Vets prescribe it for animals with arthritis, but it is also an
anti-inflammatory. Also, put a little olive oil on your dog’s
food.
