 Headache Treatments by Native Peoples of the Ecuadorian Amazon
It was observed that "...Since the Waorani tend to allow illness to progress to a state which makes them dysfunctional before they attempt to halt its progress, many minor pains, fevers, or irritants go undiagnosed and untreated" (Larrick et al., 1979).
This is a weedy stoloniferous grass up to 50 cm tall, with linear leaves 3-10 cm long and 0.6-1 cm wide, whose inflorescence consists of opposite drooping, yellow-green, 4-10 cm racemes with 1 mm sessile spikelets (Dodson and Gentry, 1978).
James A. Duke (personal communication, 1991) raises the very valid point and intriguing question that the ethnobotanical efficacy of this and other grasses in headache treatment may be due to an ergot-like fungus infestation, akin to that of rye grain by Claviceps purpurea.

The basis for this drive for speed and responsiveness is the perception of the threat that faces the United States and its allies in the 21st century.
Although today’s threats from “rogue” states and terrorists are serious indeed, it is healthy to keep in mind, especially when discussing nuclear weapons policy, that they are on a completely different scale than the global nuclear standoff that characterized the Cold War.
Brian Ulrich makes a very good point in a post at Liberals Against Terrorism about the urban myths (to cast the spreading of false information in its kindest light) that the rest of the world has given the US the cold shoulder.
