"An Ode to Health and Ignorance"
What is it like to have a chronic illness? To have a disease which is very difficult to diagnose and to treat, and which isn't even recognised in many quarters of the medical profession. This is the world of Chronic Lyme Disease.
The disease is caused by the bite of a tick, which injects the bacteria Borrelia into the bloodstream. The number of those contracting the disease has been increasing dramatically in recent years and it's known that swift treatment with antibiotics is enough to stop it in its tracks. What causes medical controversy is the course the disease takes if treatment isn't so quick.
In "An Ode to Health and Ignorance" Chris Chambers draws on his own experience to highlight the problems many people face when the disease they suffer from is not fully understood.

*** Amsterdam Forum ***
"...to remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all..."
This week's Amsterdam Forum brings you an in-depth interview with holocaust survivor and Nobel Laureate, Elie Wiesel.
Elie Wiesel has been described as one of the greatest post-Holocaust writers. He is the author of over 40 books, dealing with Judaism, the Holocaust, and the moral responsibility of all people to fight hatred, racism and genocide. His condemnation of all types of violence and hatred earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986.
In an interview with Chris Kijne, Elie Wiesel reflects on the moral questions of the nature of evil and why people kill, and what should be done to bring peace to today's world.

*** The Research File ***
We eat hundreds of different foods throughout our lifetime. Our bodies break these down into a myriad of molecules. Certain compounds within this complex mixture can protect us from a variety of age and diet-related diseases.
Nutrigenomics is the science that tries to unpick the relationship between our diet and health. How much does our individual genetic make-up control the benefits of our diet? Should we eat according to our genes or is this just taking the fun out of food? The Research File investigates.

"Singing the Praises"
A Pew Study on European Values found that just 21% of Europeans say religion is "very important" to them. So, if that's the case, why did Dutch Protestants protest against a recent Madonna concert?
Promising miracles, joyful gospel singing and re-baptisms, the Evangelical and Charismatic churches are growing and growing. One American preacher just finished a week in Paris. The meetings were unprecedented both in size and in style. Euroquest pulls up a pew.
Yeshil, the latest Turkish music craze, joins pious Islam with wicked guitar licks. We meet the king of Yeshil pop in Istanbul - and ask what this unlikely musical fusion says about modern Turkey.
The Vienna Boys Choir is steeped in tradition. But recently a more modern sound has been wafting from the eaves of the baroque palace where the boys live and rehearse.
Currently on tour in Europe, violinist Sophie Solomon fearlessly joins Hip Hop with Klezmer.

"The Old Winne Place"
By the mid-17th century, the Dutch had settled the Hudson River Valley from the port of New Amsterdam north to the trading post of Fort Orange, now the New York state capital Albany. Recent interest in the area's colonial past has resulted in the discovery of a number of still intact Dutch farmhouses and barns dating as far back as 1723.
Some are being restored on site and some are being carefully dismantled, moved and rebuilt as far away as Texas. But one particular farmhouse, part of what locals call the "old Winne place," has found a new home in New York City's Metropolitan Museum. David Swatling talks with genealogical researchers and restoration experts, architectural historians and museum curators to piece together the story of the Winne family and their New World Dutch farmstead.

*** Dutch Horizons ***
There'll be little talk and lots of music on Dutch Horizons. Host Bertine Krol is going to play songs by popular Dutch artists, such as Boudewijn de Groot, Spinvis and the bands BLPF and De Dijk.
Many Dutch artists record in English to appeal to international audiences, but Dutch Horizons will try to prove that there are plenty of Dutch language songs you'll be able to enjoy without understanding the lyrics.
This week you'll hear a variety of male artists, next week it will be a girls' half hour.
