<span style="font-size: large;"><b>FDA Strengthens Warning on NSAIDs and Heart Risk</b></span><br /><br />Popular painkillers like ibuprofen and naproxen have carried warnings for years about potential risks of heart attacks and strokes. This week, the FDA decided to strengthen those warnings on the medications, known as non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs.<br /><br />The warning includes both prescription and over-the-counter versions of drugs. It emphasizes that the risk applies to even short-term use of medications like Advil, Aleve, and Motrin. And it’s true for people with or without heart disease.<br /><br /></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Calls for ibuprofen sale restrictions after study finds cardiac arrest risk</b></span><br />There have been fresh calls for restrictions on the sale of the painkiller ibuprofenafter another study found it heightens the risk of cardiac arrest.<br /><br />Taking the over-the-counter drug was associated with a 31% increased risk, researchers in Denmark found.<br /><br />Other medicines from the same group of painkillers, known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), presented an even higher risk, according to the findings published on Wednesday in the European Heart Journal.<br /><br />Diclofenac, available over the counter in the UK until 2015 and still taken on prescription, raised the risk by 50%.<br /><br />thesun.co.uk<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">PAIN KILLER Taking ibuprofen to treat pain ‘for just ONE DAY increases your risk of heart attack by half’</span></b><br />They include popular over-the-counter pills such as ibuprofen, and prescription-only drugs such as diclofenac.<br /><br />Both are taken by millions for conditions such as headaches, back pain and arthritis.<br /><br />The study, published in The BMJ, said their effect on heart attack risk was almost immediate.<br /><br />But it was not long-lasting and wore off over time.<br /><br />Past studies have found the common painkillers increase risk of cardiac arrest by up to a third.<br /><br />Scientists fear the drugs may cause blood vessels to narrow, increase fluid retention and alter blood pressure.<br /><br />Canadian experts found taking any regular dose of ibuprofen for between one to seven days raised chances by 48 per cent.<br /><br />For diclofenac it went up 50 per cent, and naproxen 53 per cent.<br /><br />Taking stronger pills was more dangerous, but using the painkillers for longer than a month did not greatly alter risk.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div>

This book on Amazon caught my attention as I was searching for general fast food related information online and fast food impact on our life, specially kids. At first glance I thought this would be quite insightful food that will expose the dark side of fast food industry but to my shock and surprise, it turned out to be one that advocates the fast food chains and food sold there.<br />

You cannot expect me to buy such books, but <b>thanks to Amazon Books</b> "LOOK INSIDE!" feature, I was able to scan through some pages of this book that are in public on Amazon website and available for free viewing and that was enough for me to decide what is it all about.<br />
<br />
<b>Lets find out more about the book:</b><br />
<br />
<b>The book title: Guide to Healthy Fast-Food Eating (by Hope S. Warshaw)</b><br />
"Fast-Food" and "Health" doesn't go hand in hand, even a kid knows it (although many would ignore that fact), but I would not object a lot here, may be book is trying to break some myths?! Lets check out further...<br />

<li>Next up, "information contained, do not represent the policy or position of American Diabetes Association (ADA), or any of its bodies or committees", "ADA <b>cannot ensure the safety</b> or <b>efficacy of any product</b> or service described", well well, so why not to call this book "review of fast-food restaurant menus", now this proves the title is nothing but a bait to attract those struck between "what to eat" and "life is on fast track" - do you agree?</li>

Can I crack a realistic joke - McDonalds UK in March 2017</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A diabetes patient that has just read a new book on how to order healthy food at fast food chains lands at McDonald's : <i>Can I have a whole wheat burger without cheese, can you ensure the bun has no "refined sugar", no "refined salt" and no "bleached wheat flour" please.😃</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The server (with that 'who the *uck are you' look): <i>Sorry sir, our buns are world famous buns and no one asks why they have bleached wheat flour", sorry, but let me see if I can get you a bun that has 20% whole wheat 😕</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Customer: <i>Thanks dear! Can you also ensure you "deep fry" my burger patty in fresh and cold pressed "vegetable oil" that is not reused.😣</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The server (still confused) : <i>Sorry but we always start with fresh "refined" oil in the morning, and we keep adding fresh oil to the deep fryer, so it is fresh you know! It is quite possible that some of the oil residue may have been boiling for several days in same fryer, but how does that matter sire!😈</i></div>

<b>Diabetic Diet - Truth of Myth -</b> well the page below says a loud that no such diet exists, and that's half right! If someone is diabetic, he/she may have specific needs, so such diet could exist, but mostly, this is all myth and marketing propaganda too to sell those "special diet" programme, but wait....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It goes on to say that "<i><span style="color: blue;">no longer must you ax sugary foods and sweets from you list of acceptable foods</span></i>" well that's funny, as even if the first statement of "no diabetic diet" is true. No one would recommend anyone (diabetic or not) to eat sugar and sweets. <a href="http://www.wholesometales.com/i-quit-sugar/" target="_blank">That's globally treated as sweet poison</a>, and doesnt need any certification. Just to sell the idea of fast food (as fast foods contain high sugars, and high carbs that quickly converts into sugar in body anyways, so most of it is "sugars"), seems like is became so important to plant this thought that "sugars and sweets" are good for health.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It may sound funny, but anything that's "free" is seldom "good" so watch for this. If you see a "free" in any stuff in market there is a hidden agenda behind that, either to make you buy more that you actually need.....or in cases of "<b>fat-free</b>", "<b>sugar free</b>" sort of free labelled products, it is a marketing gimmick to fool you into believing that it is good for you, so eat it as much as you want. Do you agree?</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Change of mode of living –</span> Change of mode of living alone should bring about a healthy society and not medicines, technology, and hospitals.

<li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Tranquility of mind – </span>Tranquility of mind filled with universal compassion is a good vaccine against major killer diseases.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Millets are super foods and Siridhanya millets are miracle millets. Recently I came across work of Dr. Khader who advocates use of millet as staple food to control disease. His focus is mainly on Siridhanya Millets (miracle grains)<br />
What are Siridhanaya Millets...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ouDQQfeT4lU/0.jpg" frameborder="0" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ouDQQfeT4lU?feature=player_embedded" width="320"></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So Five millets (Siridhanay Milletes)with highest amount of fiber are</div>
<br />
Foxtail Millet (8% Fiber)<br />
Kodo Millet (9% Fiber)<br />
Small Millet (9.8% Fiber)<br />
Barnyard Millet (10% Fiber)<br />
Brown Top Millet (12.5% Fiber)<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to Dr. Khader's research, these millets can cure diabetes as well as other lifestyle disease. If a diabetic person start consuming these Siridhanya millets and stop consuming rice, wheat, meat, sugar, and other refined products along with daily walk for one and a half hour, he/she can completely reverse the disease. <br />
<div>
So guys add millets to your daily diet to get health benefits. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
Fiber content in rice and wheat in 100 grams of is 0.2 and 1.2 gms respectively whereas 100 gms of Siridhanya millets contain 8 to 12.5 gms of fiber.Higher fiber content will result in slower release of glucose into the blood stream.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Special properties of Siridhanya Millets</div>
<div>
1. Foxtail Millet - Rejuvenate the nervous and muscular systems</div>
<div>
2. Kodo Millet - Cleansing the blood</div>
<div>
3. Small Millet - Strengthen the Reproductive Systems</div>
<div>
4. Barnyard Millet - Increasing the efficiency of glands such as Pancreas, Curing liver related disease</div>
<div>
5. Brown Top Millet - Improves the efficiency of digestive system and in cleaning the body of metabolic waste.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A great morning is what we all need to have a great start of the day! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lets take a look at top three must do's!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>1) Stretch - </b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">Our muscles (e.g. spine) gets stiff overnight. Stretching makes releases stiffness, which improves our productivity. Move around a little after you get up, a gentle walk stretch hamstrings, calves, arms - two or three gentle stretches followed by deep breaths would help.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3f3f3f; font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>2) Drink a glass of water -</b> Need we say more? We all know it but ignore it most. For a healthy body try this , keep one glass of water in a clean copper utensil (any size, shape), leave it overnight, and drink it first thing in the morning - after 'stretching' of course :) </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can find Copper Utensils very easily now a days - check this page for instance for great deals on </span><a href="http://www.amazon.in/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=3626&creative=24822&field-keywords=copper%20utensils&linkCode=ur2&rh=n%3A976442031%2Ck%3Acopper%20utensils&sprefix=copper%20ute%2Ckitchen%2C292&tag=schoolswelike-21&url=search-alias%3Dkitchen&linkId=OKLCECFICQ7SROVQ" target="_blank">Copper Utensils</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-in.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=schoolswelike-21&l=ur2&o=31" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /><span style="font-family: inherit;">. In winters you shall try and drink warm water in the morning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As an alternative to water, you can also drink coconut water, or lemon water. Both are alkaline and that's what body needs more.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>3) Have a healthy breakfast</b> - whatever you like but ensure it's one of those healthy ones (read 'easy on stomach'). Looking for breakfast ideas? Here are some <a href="http://www.amazon.in/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=3626&creative=24822&fst=as%3Aoff&keywords=breakfast&linkCode=ur2&qid=1417441586&rh=n%3A1350384031%2Ck%3Abreakfast%2Cp_72%3A1318476031&rnid=1318475031&tag=schoolswelike-21&linkId=TDOFS36ZHLWL2MXK" target="_blank">Breakfast Suggestions</a><img alt="" border="0" height="1" src="https://ir-in.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=schoolswelike-21&l=ur2&o=31" style="border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Have a healthy day!</span></div>

While body would react itself to such infection, by causing fever like situation or actual fever but you may want to use a shortcut and help your immune system, and it is far more simple that you think.<br />
<br />
Take regular drinking water and bring it to boil, while it is still hot (not just warm, it has to be hot like tea/coffee), pour it into a cup and drink it, you may want to repeat this for 3-4 times and at regular intervals.<br />
<br />
How does this heal? It raises temperature, and the moment it is raised by about 1 degree, the germs.bacterias die, and you get healed.<br />
<br />
Hope this tip helps you, please do share your experience and feedback.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now here comes the most interesting note - if you still believe that we are born meat-eaters, then why we don't eat meat in it's natural state - raw like we do with vegies! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To make this question more relevant here is what we typically do with vegies so may we try -</span><br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Catch/buy an animal (any one of your liking - chicken, rabbit, fish,...etc)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Take it to your kitchen, give it a proper wash to ensure dust, bugs etc are removed.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Kill it - use your imagination and human skills/tools to make it little easy</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Pour blood in glass - prepare a good hot or cold drink of it and enjoy! (Tip: you may want to add suger/salt to taste, or just drink it raw)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now take the skin of animal - clear hair if any of course we dont eat hair - yuck! You can use it to prepare a meat wrap, sushi or eat it row (Tip: you may want to sprinkle some salt/suger to your taste)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now rest of the meat is what a meat eater would love - cut it into slices and enjoy ready food! (Tip: you may want to add suger/salt to taste, or use skin to make wrap)</span></li>
</ol>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Any thoughts?</span></div>

A common question that you can hear from any parent from metro city would be - which one is best remedy for <strong>allergic rhinitis</strong> for self and/or kids/children? <strong>Homeopathy</strong> or <strong>allopathy</strong>/<strong>allopathic</strong>?<br />
<br />
<br />
Even this problem is quite common on towns as well, as pollution levels have increased and I see many of my fellows suffering from this and nothing seems to help - the common symptoms are - <strong>blocked nose</strong>, <strong>sneezing</strong>, <strong>cough</strong>, <strong>morning headaches</strong>,<strong> allergic cough</strong>. <br />
<br />
Symptom are at the worst in kids at times like (one or more of these) heavily running nose , continuous sneezing , blocked nasal passages, similar to sinusitis loss of sense of smell and sometimes taste too, irritation of throat with lot of cough and itchy eyes. <br />
<br />
So the question is what is best or what works best?<br />
<br />
You can find lots of posts in internet talking on same issue, but to study them doesnt help anyone as they all would confuse. Let me share my experiences from family and friends that I see work for them...<br />
<br />
<strong>Believe it or not but the fact is -</strong><br />
<br />
1) Nothing really helps in long run.....be it homeopathy or allopathy - <br />
<strong>Solution:</strong> You should use one of these for 5-6 months and switch when one seems to be less effective. This willing combination will help you sail smooth in long run.<br />
2)<strong> DO NOT GO FOR OPERATION! NEVER!!</strong> It comes back, it hurts, and its very dangerous. Trust me...<br />
3) <strong>Do no panic!</strong> - You know it doesnt happen all the time.....and you cant do much about it, so keep calm. Ensure your kids and you donot get exposure to pollution (difficult but you should try to keep it as min as possible). You would usually see these symptoms when weather changes - in Nov-Dec (India) when winter sets in, Apr-May (India) when summer starts, so yourself for this (see next points). <br />
4) <strong>Steam works best</strong> - its easy and cheap remedy. Take green team (Tulsi, ginger, honey) - avoid ginger, honey in summers.</div>

<br />
Probably 99% of the people in the world have had this experience at least once is life and I myself get this almost twice a year specially when weather is changing. <br />
<br />
No matter what doctors may prescribe this is nearly incurable and all those medicines (oral, local application) etc seem to heal temporarily and may have side effects as well. <br />
<br />
What I am going to share here is a tried and tested way to heal nasal congestion - and it works temporarily but is probably most convenient way to heal the same, with some patience you may get good/permanent relief as well.<br />
<br />
Here you go:<br />
1) check which nostril is blocked unless both are blocked (I wish not), by closing one and try to breathe to identify which one is blocked (full or partially)<br />
2) relax and lay down on bed with pillow(should be flexible and not too large) to support your neck<br />
3) lay on bed with left side down if your right nostril is blocked or vice versa<br />
4) breathe easy, and stay on this position for about 2-5 mins. Your nostril will start opening up (typically ) in about 1-2 mins but stay relaxed in this position for abt 5 mins<br />
5) it may take longer in some cases if you have complicated situation/problem in such cases visit doctor<br />
<br />
Additional tips:<br />
1) if the blockage is persistant you may want to try steam treatment couple of times a day<br />
2) stay away from cold places, areasUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217573838928421703.post-91068481900929967902009-04-27T13:02:00.004+05:302009-04-27T13:51:17.441+05:30Bakson's Homoeopathy - come here to empty your pockets!Bakson's Homoeopathy and ISO certified company (or should I call it dukaan, shop...) is known well in India but I guess only few would know that this is a high-profile mall-type-shop that does usual business and deals with patients like clients or shoppers. If anyone of you<br /><br />One of my friend visited Bakson's gurgaon (located at The Grand Mall) clinic (....damn i would like to call it shop in mall....), and my friend's daughter was really suffering from severe cold and breathing problems and someone suggested them to consult homeopathy doctor and there you go.....they decided to visit Backsons gurgaon (located at The Grand Mall) and to their surprise the staff (read: salesmen/women) at the shop welcomed them and started the selling.<br />They offered them the consultation and without really trying to get to right cause of the problem and working accordingly, they started pin-pointing the root cause to her grand-mother's illness and said that this is due to her, their daughter is sick (some maternal illness relation is that they pointed out). They told them to enroll (a a member for 1-2 years) and on resistance they prescribed them 2 months medicine and looted them for Rs 1500/- in cash.<br /><br />The problem is that they did not try to handle the patient as patient but looked at them as a customer and were merely focused on pointing the problem as if it would take long time to cure sot that they could get them on a plan as member.<br /><br />I will soon be sharing another my friend's experiences with another homoeopathy giant Dr Batra's and will tell you how they are running their shop......<br /><br /><strong>If you are planning to enroll your kid/family member to anyone of these for cold, cough, breathing, weakness, asthma, bronchitic, immunity problems please do consult with me I will tell you the truth behind these shops and it might save you lots of money and also a better health to your family member/friend.</strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217573838928421703.post-5706697130370869052009-04-07T12:20:00.004+05:302009-04-07T12:37:35.289+05:30Naturopathy diet and home remediesUsually fasting is seen as key part of naturohaty but we need to understand that fasting alone cant heal all ailments.<br /><br /><strong>Ajwain, Caraway Seeds:</strong><br />- 2 teaspoons with warm water should be taken for a stomach ache, indigestion and flatulence.<br />- 1 or 2 teaspoons at bed time are helpful for constipation, cough and nocturnal enuresis.<br /><br /><strong>Amla, Emblic Myrobalan:</strong> This fruit when taken over a period of time can lead to rejuvenation of the body.<br /><br /><strong>Bel, Wood Apple</strong><br />-The pulp when mixed with water forms a refreshing drink which offsets the effects of heat exhaustion.<br />-The paste made from leaves of the tree, help in curing sore and inflamed eyes, which exude pus. -The juice of the leaves added with pepper are given to a patient suffering from jaundiceUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217573838928421703.post-42378724357155073862009-03-12T09:12:00.002+05:302014-06-08T19:54:13.487+05:30Fighiting Jet Lag or Motion Sickness?<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

A very common problem with people who travel on long flights, say from India-US-India. Here are some good remedies for Jet Lag and Motion Sickness...<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Jet lag</strong><br />
The irritability and insomnia characteristic of jet lag are caused by your body trying to reset its internal biological clock to a different schedule. The hormone melatonin may be helpful for combating jet lag. I suggest taking half a milligram to 1 milligram one hour before you want to go to sleep for several days upon your destination arrival. Combination formulas containing sedative herbs may also be useful. Examples of sedative herbs are as follows: Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), Chamomile (Matricaria recutita), Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) or Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). Caution to those taking conventional medications, drug-herb interactions may occur.<br />
<br />
<strong>Motion sickness</strong><br />
Fennel seeds are a must have for any travel kit. Whether it's to ease nausea from motion sickness or to calm spasms from eating irritating foods, chewing on a handful of seeds will help with many digestive ailments, and they taste good too. If traveling with children, candied ginger is also a nice digestive aid for motion sickness or tummy aches.<br />

The living man is a conglomeration of three humours (Vata, Pitta and Kapha), seven basic tissues (Rasa, Rakta, Mansa, Meda, Asthi, Majja and Shukra) and the waste products of the body such as faeces, urine and sweat. Thus the total body matrix comprises of the humours, the tissues and the waste products of the body. The growth and decay of this body matrix and its constituents revolve around food which gets processed into humours, tissues and wastes. Ingestion, digestion, absorption, assimilation and metabolism of food have an interplay in health and disease which are significantly affected by psychological mechanisms as well as by bio- fire(Agni).<br /><br /><strong>YOGA- </strong><a class="txtblue" id="con" href="http://indianmedicine.nic.in/index.asp" name="con"><strong>Concepts and Principles</strong></a><br />Basic Concepts<br />The tradition of Yoga was born in India several thousand years ago. Its founders were great Saints and Sages. The great Yogis gave rational interpretation of their experiences about Yoga and brought a practically sound and scientifically prepared method within every one’s reach. Yoga philosophy is an Art and Science of living in tune with Brahmand- The Universe. Yoga has its origins in the Vedas, the oldest record of Indian culture. It was systematized by the great Indian sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutra as a special Darshana. Although, this work was followed by many other important texts on Yoga, but Patanjali’s Yoga Sutra is certainly the most significant wherein no change is possible. It is the only book which has touched almost all the aspects of human life.<br /><br /><strong>Naturopathy - </strong><a class="txtblue" id="ncon" href="http://indianmedicine.nic.in/index.asp" name="ncon"><strong>Concepts and Principles</strong></a><br />Basic Concepts In fact, Nature Cure is a way of life of which we find a number of references in the Vedas and other ancient texts. The morbid matter theory, concept of vital force and other concepts upon which Nature Cure is based are already available in old texts which indicate that these methods were widely practised in ancient India. The whole practice of Nature cure based on the following three principles:<br />-Accumulation of morbid matter<br />-Abnormal composition of blood and lymph<br />-Lowered vitality<br /><br /><strong>UNANI SYSTEM OF MEDICINE - </strong><a href="http://indianmedicine.nic.in/" name="intro"><strong>Introduction and Origin</strong></a><br />Unani System of Medicines originated in Greece and is based on the teachings of Hippocrates and Gallen and it developed in to an elaborate Medical System by Arabs, like Rhazes , Avicenna, Al-Zahravi , Ibne-Nafis and others.<br /><br />Unani Medicines got enriched by imbibing what was best in the contemporary systems of traditional medicines in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Persia, India, China and other Middle East countries. In India, Unani System of Medicine was introduced by Arabs and soon it took firm roots. The Delhi Sultans (rulers) provided patronage to the scholars of Unani System and even enrolled some as state employees and court physicians. During 13th and 17th century A.D. Unani Medicine had its hey-day in India. During the British rule, Unani System suffered a set back due to withdrawal of State Patronage, but continued to be practiced as the masses reposed faith in the system. It was mainly Sharifi family in Delhi, the Azizi family in Lucknow and the Nizam of Hyderabad due to whose efforts Unani Medicine survived during the British period<br /><br /><a class="txtblue" id="intro" href="http://indianmedicine.nic.in/" name="intro"><strong>Siddha - Introduction and Origin</strong></a><br />Siddha system is one of the oldest systems of medicine in India . The term Siddha means achievements and Siddhars were saintly persons who achieved results in medicine. Eighteen Siddhars were said to have contributed towards the development of this medical system. Siddha literature is in Tamil and it is practised largely in Tamil speaking part of India and abroad. The Siddha System is largely therapeutic in nature.<br />History :<br />The original Home allotted to mankind by the Creator was in the temparate and fertile region of the East and pointedly in India. It is from here that the human race began its culture and career. India may, therefore, be safely stated as that the first country from which human culture and civilization originated and spread. According to Indian history prior to Aryans migration, the Dravidian was the first inhabitant of India of whom the Tamilians were the most prominent. The Tamilians were not only the earliest civilized but also those who may more considerable progress in civilization than any other early people. The languages of India were divided into two great classes, the northern with Sanskrit as the pre-pondering element and the southern with Dravidian language as independent bases. The science of medicine is of fundamental importance to man’s well being be and his survival and so it must have originated with man and developed as civilization. It is, therefore rather pointless to try to determine the exact point of time to which the beginning of these systems could be traced They are eternal, they began with man and may end with him. The Siddha was flouriest in south and Ayurveda prevalent in the north. Instead of giving the name of any of individual as the founder of these systems our ancestors attributed their origin to the creator. According to the tradition it was Shiva who unfolded the knowledge of Siddha system of medicine to his concert Parvati who handed it down to Nandi Deva and he the Siddhars. The Siddhars were great scientists in ancient times.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><strong>Courtsey: </strong></span><a href="http://indianmedicine.nic.in/"><strong>http://indianmedicine.nic.in</strong></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217573838928421703.post-15472047822056470532007-12-13T14:05:00.000+05:302007-12-13T14:08:49.710+05:30Physical, Emotional, Mental, and Spiritual HealthOne of my friends shared this great article from Mary Kurus.<br /><br />Courtsey: http://www.mkprojects.com/fa_PEMHealth.htm<br /><br />By Mary Kurus<br /><strong>How Do We View Health Today:</strong><br />We are taught in our western culture to think in terms of pieces of ideas or concepts rather than integrated complete ideas and concepts. We look at our bodies, minds, emotions and spirit as if each part is fully separate from the other rather than totally intertwined. Western society rewards specialization, the examination of a piece of the whole. We believe we can take things apart into small pieces and deal with these small pieces in isolation of the complete idea or concept.<br /><br />This fragmented approach has lead us to look at health in a compartmentalized manner rather than as the management of a totality. We believe that our bodies, organs and systems are totally separate from our thoughts, emotions, energy fields and our spiritual selves. We need to look at how our thoughts can affect our behavior and ultimately our health. We need to understand how our emotions work and how repressed emotions can create serious illness in our bodies. We need to appreciate how our values and beliefs can directly affect our everyday health.<br /><br />We separate our spiritual lives into a separate box or a specific time for worship or prayer. We do not integrate spirituality into our everyday lives. We do not realize that perhaps our spiritual lives or a lack of spirituality may be causing some of our health problems. Many of us do not known how to develop a personal spirituality so that we are connected to the greater universe. We fail to understand the difference between organized religion and spirituality. We do not appreciate the need to integrate spirituality with the practices of the religion to which we belong.<br /><br />Our body, emotion, mind, energy body and soul together form the whole person. It is only by dealing with each part of the whole within the whole, that we can have vital and energetic health.<br /><br />All organs, systems, thoughts, emotions, have their own specific energy or vibration. Each organ vibrates at an energy specific to it alone. Each piece of food or drink that we consume has its own vibration. Each emotion has its own vibration. Therefore what we feel, what we think, what we eat and drink, even what we daydream about, has a direct effect on our health.<br /><br /><strong>The Mystery of Our Physical Bodies:<br /></strong>We are comfortable when talking about our physical bodies and yet we know little about how our bodies actually work. Because we can touch our skin and feel our limbs we feel comfortable. Do we understand the functions our skin performs? Do we know how to look after our skin so it will be vibrant and healthy? We can feel our bones but do we know what to do to have strong and healthy bones?<br /><br />Our body is the physical container for our organs, systems, brain, mind, emotions and soul. Our bodies are made up of organs, systems, tissues and cells. This book is not about anatomy and physiology, nor is it about disease; it is about your health. I will simply list the major systems in our body as a general reference as follows: the skeletal system of bones and joints; a muscular system; a nervous system; an endocrine system; a circulatory system; a lymphatic system; a respiratory system; a digestive system; a urinary system; and a reproductive system. We have a huge chemical factory in our bodies with many chemical reactions taking place. These chemical reactions are responsible for things such as memory and the movement of information between our minds, nerves and muscles.<br /><br />Our bodies do things that we don't understand. We crave a certain food and do not understand why we keep eating this food when we promised ourselves we wouldn't eat it anymore. We can't understand why we crave that piece of chocolate or bread. We don't understand that it is our body which is asking for that food, that the craving is triggered by a chemical reaction. We may have an infestation of a parasite which feeds on a certain food such as sugar and is setting up a specific craving. Perhaps we use certain foods for comfort when we are lonely or afraid. Emotions create chemical reactions which trigger cravings for a specific food.<br /><br />The medical profession has some knowledge of how our bodies work but this knowledge is limited. Ongoing research is providing us with new pieces of information every day. For example, we are more knowledgeable about the development of bones and how to heal broken bones. We have limited knowledge about what causes illness in our bones, such as cancer. Our knowledge about the chemistry of our bodies, and the production and effects of hormones in our bodies is limited. Hormones are products produced in our brains and throughout our bodies which circulate in body fluids and automatically command the cells to perform different functions.<br /><br />Our bodies respond to different thoughts and emotions. The chemical processes in our bodies change depending on which types of emotions we are feeling. When an individual thinks about comfort and pleasure and feels hopeful about life, the body changes into a relaxed state where certain chemical changes occur and healing can occur. When an individual is angry different chemical reactions occur in their body creating stress on various organs, especially the liver and pancreas. If these emotions continue for extended periods of time illness can result.<br /><br />A good example of the mystery of our bodies is the relationship between our nervous system and our mind. In our bodies the central nervous system executes orders both automatically and at times through the command of the mind. For example, our hearts operate automatically without any orders from our mind. But an individual can change the functioning of their heart, either slowing or accelerating their heart beat through visualization exercises in their minds. If an individual becomes frightened his heart beat accelerates. If they meditate their heart beat slows down. Certain automatic body functions can be adjusted by the mind.<br /><br />Traditional medicine treats the body as if the mind and emotions do not have any effect on bodily functions. For example, when arteries get clogged treatments are prescribed to unblock narrowed passages. Changes are recommended regarding the type of food to be eaten. But the emotions which were part of the cause of this illness are ignored. Until recently, traditional medicine separated the treatment of the body, mind and emotions as if they did not affect each other. The medical profession is just beginning to look at the relationship of body, mind and emotions and their effect on health.<br /><br />A 1997 survey at Harvard University showed that 42 percent of adult Americans with cancer had tried alternative or complementary medicine in the treatment of their cancer compared to 34 percent in 1990. They spent $US21 billion on it, $US12 billion out of their own pockets, as per Dr. David Rosenthal, the immediate past president of the American Cancer Society. Dr. Rosenthal also stated that "less than 40 percent of patients disclosed their use of complementary or alternative medicine to their physicians". Alternative or complementary medicines usually combine the mind, emotions and body in the treatment of cancer. Traditional medicine uses drugs to kill the invading tumor in different ways, treating the body alone. Is has become very clear that mind matters. It is not simply mind over matter but mind and body integrated.<br /><br />The following is a simple example of the relationship of body, mind and emotions.<br /><br /><strong>Our Emotions<br /></strong>"Feelings are neither good or bad, they just are". I'm certain that many of you have heard this statement. Why then do the majority believe that some feelings are good and some are bad. Why are we afraid to feel our feelings? We know little about our emotions or feelings and even less about how to live with them, deal with them and process them out of our bodies.<br /><br />We cannot chose which feelings we will or we won't have. They're automatic. They give us immediate feedback about how a particular person or situation is affecting us. Often an emotion we are feeling in the present moment is linked not only to the present situation but to a situation which occurred a long time ago. Past emotions that have not been dealt with, have a direct effect on our emotional reactions to situations in today. Emotions that are denied or suppressed stay in our bodies in our tissues, glands, muscles, organs and systems. They leave when we re-feel them or truly feel them for the first time, and release them.<br /><br />There are two basic underlying emotions in all human beings with varying degrees of intensity. They are love and fear. Desire, joy, pleasure, contentment, acceptance, hope, peacefulness, excitement, self-esteem, assertiveness, and generosity are a few examples of love-based feelings. Anxiety, anger, sorrow, apathy, bitterness, jealousy, irritability, depression, rejection, pity, grief, aggressiveness, powerlessness, passiveness, loneliness, and irritability are examples of fear- based emotions. Different chemicals are produced by our bodies when we feel these two groups of emotions.<br /><br />What is an emotion or feeling and how can we work with them. An emotion is a reaction to a person, situation or object in our lives, real or imagined. It is a reaction to what is before us or to a memory of a similar situation in the past. Many of us are afraid of our feelings, afraid that if we really feel them we will lose control. Or, we fear that if we begin to feel a feeling this process will never stop. We often deny our feelings and pretend they aren't there. We deny them, repress them, squelch them. We think that by pretending they're not there they'll go away. But feelings which are not faced and owned never go away. They are buried alive, ready to poke their heads out and come to the surface the moment they have a chance. I will speak later in this book on the different ways of processing emotions out of the body.<br /><br />Humans use may means to keep feelings stuffed down and suppressed. We smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol excessively, use recreational drugs and hard drugs, overeat, and participate in compulsive sex. These activities are used to stuff down feelings. Staying constantly busy is another way to keep from feeling our feelings. Individuals who are always busy and have difficulty sitting quietly by themselves usually have difficulty feeling their feelings. Individuals are more comfortable intellectualizing or talking about their feelings rather than feeling their feelings. We analyze them, turn them inside out and upside down and break down our feelings to the smallest detail. But we go to great lengths to avoid feeling our feelings.<br /><br />European and North American culture is uncomfortable with feelings. This is the age of being politically correct and that means that you should never show strong emotions to others at work, at home or in your social lives. Our culture teaches us to pretend that nothing really matters, to smile regardless of what is happening. What you do is not as nearly as important as the spin you put on what you do. It is unspoken, but in today's' world, fear or fear based emotions are a sign of weakness and vulnerability and should not be admitted to or exhibited at any time. To be vulnerable is to be weak. It's important in our society to hide weakness and vulnerability. These attitudes and practices are a recipe for disease and illness.<br /><br />Repressed feelings don't go away. They can distort your present behavior and create illness and disease in your body. If you don't deal directly and honestly with yourself and your emotions you eventually become so disconnected from yourself you are not present to yourself or to anyone else. Eventually when you ask yourself who you are you don't know anymore. You have allowed major parts of yourself to leave. The good news is you can bring them back.<br /><br />Many books have been written in the past few years concerning the direct effect emotions have on our health. Emotions are the direct cause of all illness in our bodies. This body of literature includes Deepak Chopra, Ann Louise Hay, Barbara Ann Brennan, David Roeland, and so many others. I strongly encourage you to read these authors to fully understand the breadth and depth of the impact our emotions can have on our physical health.<br /><br /><strong>Our Minds:<br /></strong><br />What is a human mind? What is our brain? How are thoughts created? What is memory and where are memories kept for future recall? These are questions men much wiser than me have asked finding very few real answers. Webster's dictionary defines the mind as "the element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons". It speaks of "intention and desire and the conscious and unconscious adaptive mental activity of an organism". What does a mind do? Is the mind contained in the brain? Do we have another mind elsewhere which deals with our emotions and deepest intentions and intuition? Are electrical impulses and light waves part of the thinking process?<br /><br />In his book The Message of the Divine Iliad, Walter Russell states that man's actions are a direct result of his thinking. Human beings manufacture their own physical and mental agony by unbalanced decisions and actions regarding personal, business or social relations. Our brains are electric storehouses for memories recorded upon them as a result of the experiences of our senses. The brain is the nerve center of all parts of the body which motivates the body to perform various functions. The brain of man is not his mind. The mind is Cosmic.<br /><br />Very few people think at all. I will say that again. Very few people think about anything at all. They simply react in response to their senses and do very little original planning, assembling, designing or creating. The majority simply imitate the thinking and behavior of others. People act automatically. The herding instinct is still strong in the human race. In their need to belong to a group and their fear of being alone, people imitate the behavior of the majority, without thinking of their actions and the impact on themselves or others.<br /><br />The mind/brain stores, organizes, retrieves and analyses pieces of information. Western culture tends to be "head-centered", using mind/brain-centered functions as the means to solve problems, collect information, analyze this information, and make decisions based on this analysis.. The mind/brain used in this manner is an incomplete tool. It does not include the intuition or deep intention that is contained in every human being. It does not include that moment of knowing, when we just know something, that moment of inspiration, directly from the Cosmic world. How often do we ask ourselves after having completed a mind/brain analysis what does the heart say. It often says something completely different from our mind/brain conclusion. I will give the following example to illustrate this concept.<br /><br /><strong>EXAMPLE:</strong> James is discussing a possible change of employment with his friend Harry. He has analyzed the situation completely looking at the advantages, disadvantages, future upward mobility and financial returns of this potential change. His analysis has shown him that this new job has great potential for him, with huge opportunities for future advancement. He is reviewing his analysis with his friend Harry. Harry notices there is some hesitancy in James even though this job offer is such an exciting possibility. James agrees there's something bothering him. He should be so excited but he is lukewarm to this potential change and he doesn't understand why. What's wrong. Instead of dismissing this feeling he takes the time to do some real thinking and soul searching. Jamie finally admits to himself that his heart isn't in this type of work. If he could find the resources, he would like to return to school and study biology to eventually work in wildlife parks. He's afraid of such a major change in lifestyle. He's anxious that he may not succeed in his dreams. He's afraid his friends will laugh at his dreams. He doesn't tell anyone about his dreams. James now has to make a broader and deeper type of analysis. James would never have come to this point in his analysis if he had only listened to his mind/brain. His other minds or heart gave him the signals and information not contained in his mind/brain.<br /><br />Another way of looking at the mind is looking at the process used to make a decision. Ask yourself if you're making it with your mind or with your heart. Since we can separate feelings from the mind/brain function we can eliminate love centered emotions to affect our behavior. You can ask yourself what would my mind or sense of logic want me to do and then what does my heart want me to do. Often they are two different decisions or sets of actions. The mind/ brain is said to override our emotions, our nervous systems, and most of our physical needs. We can control many functions in our bodies with our minds. Biofeedback is one method used to have the mind control what the body does. But we need to learn to think with our hearts as well as our heads.<br /><br />The power of the mind is beyond our imaginations. Since thought always precedes action we come to the conclusion that if we can change our thinking we can change our behavior. And we can. The foundation of our thoughts are the beliefs and values we have developed over time. These beliefs and values must be identified, reviewed and changed if we want to change our thought patterns and subsequent actions.<br /><br />Thoughts and ideas can be transmitted over distances and can be used to affect the behavior of others. The American, European and Russian military have been researching and experimenting for years with the power of thought and time dimensions. It's unfortunate this research is classified for military purposes since this information could be used in the betterment of mankind. Native Australian Aboriginal Tribes have been communicating telepathically using mental pictures for many years. So, why are we so afraid to use the power of our minds?<br /><br />Visualization is a powerful tool in using the mind to have a positive effect on the body. A great deal has been written on various ways to use the imaging process. Imaging commands the body to respond in a desired direction. A number of therapists use imaging to affect progress towards health when working with conditions which were deemed hopeless. Dr. Martin Tatz of Ottawa, Canada is well known for his use of visualization for the management and elimination of chronic pain. But an individual's limiting beliefs have to be shifted for visualization to work as a healing agent.<br /><br />The mind and emotions are constantly responding to the condition of the physical body and the physical body is constantly responding to the meanings and perceptions of the mind and the emotions. This is why when dealing with illness and health the mind, emotions and body must be dealt with in a integrated manner.<br /><br />One example of the power of mind over matter is well represented by the group of psychic surgeons who originated in the Philippines. They are able to place their hands and penetrate an individual's physical body and perform surgery without any anaesthetic or pain for the patient. Their hands literally go through the skin, organs and tissues. They perform surgery on cancer patients who are deemed to be inoperable. Some of the adjustments include spinal adjustments, removal of tumors or cancerous growths, the alignment of bones, the adjustment of internal organs including the ovaries, kidneys, liver, pancreas, heart among others. This is truly the power of high vibrations. And yet some of these same individuals find a recurrence of their malady in another part of their body leading many to speculate that thoughtforms that were not changed are continuing to create energetic blockages which in turn create illness.<br /><br />In a book titled Healing and The Mind by Bill Moyers, MD, various physicians speak of their experiences related to the mind rather than the body and the importance of dealing with the mind when dealing with health and illness. One stressed that we need to "think about our medical system as a health care system rather than a disease treatment system" and goes on to say that this " would mean looking closely at medical education and our public funding priorities." If we are to deal with health and health care, a complete rethinking of health is required by the medical profession.<br /><br />We do not understand completely how the minds of children are developed. We are told that the beliefs of children are set at an early age. Can adults change belief systems? It's an interesting question. Children today are exposed to information at an amazing rate. This information comes from many sources including day care centers, the formal educational system, and various mediums of communication including the Internet, television, movies and magazines. Children are being exposed to positive knowledge about nature, the earth, science and technology. They are also being exposed to images of cruelty, violence, racism and intolerance. Media is barraging children with excessive advertising, developing materialistic demands in children. The world needs to think seriously about the impact of this exposure on children. Perhaps our educational systems need to develop new courses to help young people develop the skills to analyze, accept or reject what they view and hear through the media.<br /><br />We need to research the impact of this bombardment of information on the development of young minds. When a crisis occurs and a child goes into school and guns down fellow students there is an immediate outcry of concern. But governments are not funding the research which is required to fully understand the impact of all this imagery on children. What is the impact of this imagery on the mental, emotional and physical health of children? What are the factors which are alienating so many of our children.<br /><br /><strong>Our Spiritual Selves:<br /></strong>What is spirituality? What is the soul? Many learned and brilliant men have written volumes and volumes about the elements of the soul and spirituality. The problem is their writings are difficult to understand. Do we understand that each soul is the essence of each individual? The soul contains the complete blueprint for each individual on this earth. Do we appreciate that spirituality is the relationship of each human with a power greater than any human power on earth, with the Cosmic world? Do we understand that truth, dignity, integrity, faith, hope and love are the main ingredients of spirituality?<br /><br />Many individuals confuse organized religions and spirituality. Organized religions are grouping of individuals who usually have a defined set of doctrines or beliefs along with regular practices of worship. Spirituality is the practice of love-based attitudes which are integrated into an individual's everyday life. Spirituality is practiced by the individual. These attitudes can be shared with others but do not require organized grouping for their practice.<br /><br />About 25 years ago many individuals found their experience with organized religion left them feeling empty and hollow. It didn't address their needs in relation to a Universal power, nor did it give them a sense of being connected with that Universal power. I will use the word God to describe this power. Others use the words Allah, Buddha, Great Spirit, Universal Spirit and many other names. It doesn't matter what word is used. What matters is that human beings are connected to a Universal Spirit who gives them a sense of purpose, values and beliefs and makes people feel loved and wanted and needed. It has been said that atheists are often individuals who have serious unresolved father issues. Therefore, they cannot have a concept of a Universal power which is often referred to as the perfect fatherly love. The beliefs expressed in this paper inherently integrate a belief in a Universal Power as central to its philosophy.<br /><br />The religions many were brought up with were fear-based, with concepts of reward and punishment at the center of their philosophy. They described God as vengeful and at times barbaric. They made this Cosmic power into a God of fear and not love. Acceptance of the human condition, and the imperfection of man was not seen as something to be accepted but as something to be changed because of shame. The development of self-esteem and the God within was not a priority. These religions stressed the negatives rather than the development of the positives.<br /><br />In the past 25 years many have abandoned organized religions. The old fire and brimstone could no longer frighten people into being good and they stopped active participation in organized religion. As a result, many new religious practices began and many cults were initiated to fill this void. Old religions have sought to revitalize themselves, to become more involved in the daily lives of their members, providing love, comfort and support. Some have succeeded and some have failed. For many individuals today, spirituality has become a direct and personal connection with a God of this Cosmic universe without membership in any organized religion.<br /><br />We see God in many ways every day. We see God in nature, in the birds and the flowers and the trees. We feel the spirits of nature, of mother earth and their sacredness. Many relate closely to the spiritual beliefs of native peoples who honor the spirits of nature, the animal spirits, plant spirits and rock spirits.. Many see God in loving and caring people. Many see God in the miracle of a newly born baby, so perfectly formed. Many see God in the face of a beautiful old woman all crinkled and creased and gently smiling. Many see God in the stars at night and in the sun and the moon. When some listen to the wind and let rain fall on their faces, they feel God. For some God is everywhere, in all people, in works of art, in melodious music and in sacred writings.<br /><br />Humanity needs to worship, to give thanks and pay homage to this Universal Spirit. I believe in the power of prayer. Spirituality needs to be lived actively. It is the generosity for those who have less, it is the caring for those in need, it is the sharing of a joy or sorrow. Mankind has a basic need to worship and the result of ignoring this need can be poor health. A life lived without spirituality needs more and more of the material life to keep the sense of emptiness at bay.<br /><br />Worshipping can be very simple and can be done alone or with others. There are many practices which can be used as forms of worship in living a spiritual life. Some meditate, others daydream, others walk in the forest, others hike and canoe in the wilderness. Others make special novenas, say the Stations of the Cross, or worship in temples, mosques and monasteries. Other burn candles, incense or sage to dissolve negative energies and purify their surroundings and themselves. Others face Mecca and say special prayers five times each day. Some fast during certain periods of the year. Some chant and others sing. There are so many ways to worship and each has its own special beauty.<br /><br />To be vital and healthy you need to have a spiritual life. We need to have values and beliefs which we live by and strive to achieve. These values must be integrated into our work lives, home lives and social lives. In the final analysis it's how we treat ourselves and others when no one is looking and no one knows about which tells about an individuals spiritual life. Its the respect and love of mother earth which is a true reflection of the respect and love for oneself and others. An individuals spiritual life is reflected in their relationship with themselves, their families, their friends, their co-workers, their community, and the world at large. Those without spiritual lives or fragmented spiritual lives tend to be more fearful, anxious, angry and depressed. The lack of a spiritual life can lead to illness and disease.<br /><br /><strong>Our Energy Bodies:<br /></strong>We feel comfortable and safe believing in what we can see, touch, feel, taste and smell and become quickly uncomfortable with concepts about things we cannot see, touch, feel, taste and smell. As a result we have difficulty with concepts about energy and the energetic properties and fields of individuals, objects and nature. And yet everything on this planet with a life force is made of energy. Humans are made of energy. Plants, animals and rocks each have their own life force. Solid concrete objects are surrounded by and permeated with a fluid world of radiating energy. Thoughts and emotions have their own energy and vibration.<br /><br />Each human being and each object on this earth and in the universe is surrounded by and permeated with an energy field which is a electro-magnetic field. We call this energy field an aura. Auras are made up of different colors or shadings of colors and are the unseen patterns of energy around people and objects. Many things can change the color and size of auras including emotions, thoughts, food, drugs, and electric or magnetic emissions from human or natural sources. Therefore our energy fields or auras are constantly changing in color and shape.<br /><br />The vital energy of individuals and objects is called many different names including Ch'i by the Chinese, Prana by the Indians, and astral light according to the Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical theosophy. Over the century, teachings of many countries, groups and beliefs have written and recorded descriptions of the human energy field. It is only recently that this type of information is being presented for discussion in North America.<br /><br />In Europe and Asia homeopathy, a vibrational form of healing, is common place and practiced regularly. It is used to complement the traditional medical treatments providing individuals with enhanced forms of healing and health. Many drug stores sell homeopathic remedies over the counter and average individuals are sufficiently knowledgeable in their use. It's unfortunate that North Americans have had limited exposure to vibrational forms of healing. Today, flower, tree and gem essences are on the leading edge of vibrational healing, with their capacity to address the imbalances created by the stresses of modern living.<br /><br />There are individuals who can see the energy fields around people and other objects. Barbara Ann Brennan teaches that most people can learn to see these energy fields if they take the time and effort to do so. In her books The Hands of Light and Light Emerging, Ms. Brennan provides us with a historical summary of many individuals who have researched and documented important information about these energy fields. This includes Albert Einstein, Dennis Gabor who received a Nobel prize in 1971, Dr. Karl Pribram, Dr. George De La Warr and Dr. Ruth Brown and so many others. She thoroughly documents the history of the scientific investigation into the human energy field. She states that by 1975 the University of California at Los Angeles was able to measure auras with great accuracy.<br /><br />In her books she describes in detail the relationship of illness with thought, feelings, will, emotions, and physical functioning. Illness begins with a blockage in an individuals energy field and eventually, sometimes two years later, becomes a disease in the physical body. She provides a thorough and detailed description of the chakras, or centers that bring energy into our physical bodies. Ms. Brennan describes the illnesses that can develop when the chakras are blocked or not working properly.<br /><br />Even though the majority of individuals cannot see energetic auras or chakras they are there and have a real effect on how we feel every day. They can become blocked with all sorts of debris and need to be cleared and opened, so that energy can flow easily and vibrantly. Our energy bodies are crucial to vibrant and energetic health.<br /><br /><strong>Summary</strong><br />If we want to feel truly alive and open to life's opportunities we need to look carefully at our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. We need to identify our shortcomings and make those changes we need so that we are truly vibrating at the highest level and enjoying life to the fullest.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217573838928421703.post-71291747172816978962007-11-23T10:57:00.000+05:302007-11-23T11:01:58.194+05:30Where naturopathy works (detailed list...)Although, naturopathy can be used to treat many more illness, but here is an exaustive list of such where a naturopath can:<br /><br />I got this list on web (thanks to <a href="http://www.thegalencentre.com/home/naturopathy.php">http://www.thegalencentre.com/home/naturopathy.php</a> for this list) and I guess this is specific to what they offer, but I am sure this is basic list anyways.<br /><br /><strong>low immunity</strong><br />e.g. recurrent colds, allergies, chronic fatigue, ME, glandular fever etc<br /><br /><strong>stress, digestive conditions<br /></strong>eg. colic, indigestion, bloating, food allergies, constipation, diarrhoea, IBS etc<br /><br /><strong>skin conditions</strong><br />e.g. acne, eczema, rashes, fungal infections, etc<br /><br /><strong>circulatory conditions:</strong><br />e.g. high/low blood pressure, poor circulation, varicose veins, etc<br /><br /><strong>cancer support</strong><br />support during chemotherapy, radiotherapy, after surgery or as an alternative measure.<br /><br /><strong>injuries<br /></strong>sprains, strains, swellings, bruises, etc.<br /><br /><strong>weight loss</strong><br />respiratory conditions<br />e.g.coughs, colds/flu, sinusitis, allergic rhinitis, glue ear asthma etc<br /><br /><strong>reproductive issues ( female & male)</strong><br />e.g. PMS, painful or irregular menses, polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, HRT alternatives, breast cysts, fertility problems (men and women),enlarged prostate, loss of libido etc<br /><br /><strong>pregnancy and childbirth</strong><br />remedies and advice for pregnancy and during and after labour, to ease and aid recovery for mother and baby. eg.

We took and appointment and viited his office to find that 2 teenaged girls at reception who kept talking all the time not even bothered to think even once about waiting patients. Dr. was absconding from office without traces and I had to remind the "girl" twice before she called him and reported that he is on his way to office and will be here soon.<br /><br />Finally my wait was over and I saw "him" in real and he was no different from what I saw on TV....I thanked God for that :)<br /><br />And the real drama was about to start now...we got the call and entered his room, to our surprise he was very fast with his analysis and told us that you need to follow a particular diet for one month as the carbon needs to be removed from your body (stomach)...and fo that you need to apply "Mud" on your stomach......and he continued non-stop and told us that the cost of one month "mud" package is Rs. 9000 myself and my wife were in shock to hear that as we never thought that it would cost so much.....<br /><br />My wife was first to recover from "the shock" and asked him what so special about this mud, why is it so costly? Doctor was ready (should I say pre-programmed) with answers and said that it's prepared in Shimla and contains "special" herbs. He also added that he is the only MD Naturopath in Delhi and NCR region.<br /><br />I gave my wife a hundred question look and she responded with eye contact and I understood that it's a "no" from her side. So I said that we are not carrying that much money with us and to my biggggg surprise the doctor said that he will send a guy with us and he will pay the auto charges also and we can pay the guy in cash at home or thru cheque as well......he said why are you thinking so much........he also added that he will get me on TV after one month. He added that you please call my wife tomorrow and she will guide you about your diet. Here I realized that this doctor is not interested in treatment but the money and selling mud because he is ready to give me mud right now but not giving me the diet chart. Meanwhile her wife (dressed like typical middle class punjabi business woman) entered the room and left some papers on his desk.<br /><br />We had not clues whatsoever and we agreed after another round of eye-to-eye conversation and soon a teenager guy appeared with a polybag containing 10kg of shimla made "mud".<br /><br />We left for home dreaming that after one month I will be alright and will be a TV star (just kidding), I draw money from nearby ATM, handed it over to the guy and then I realized that the doctor did not gave me any reciept or form or card.....so I dont have any record of my meeting, deal or treatment but I was not bothered as such as I was more focused on my healing.<br /><br />(to be continued....)<br />I will be posting more details about my treatment and the business house this dcotor is running from Vasant Kunj New Delhi Office.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5217573838928421703.post-74074980179143000602007-10-02T21:16:00.000+05:302007-10-02T21:28:39.304+05:30What OSHO has to say about naturopathy.....interesting stuff!Osho’s experiences with Medicine and 'Miracles'<br /><br />I never thought a legend like OSHO would say such things....read on whe has to say about naturopathy:<br /><br /><span style="color:#339999;">One of my professors was madly into naturopathy. Any problem…and a mud pack on your stomach. I used to go to him to enjoy, because it was very relaxing, and he had a very good arrangement—a beautiful bath and showers…. And without any difficulty I used to go and say, "I have a very bad migraine."He said, "Don't be worried. Just a mud pack on your stomach."</span><br /><span style="color:#339999;">Now a mud pack on the stomach is not going to help a migraine. But it used to help me, because I had no migraine! A mud bath, the full bathtub, and you are drowned in the mud, just your head is out—it is very comfortable and very cool.Soon he realized that, "You come again and again with new diseases."I said, "That's true. Because I have got a book on naturopathy—from the book I get the disease, and then I come to you. First I read it, to see what you will do. If I want it to be done to me, I bring that disease; otherwise, unnecessarily lying down in the mud for half an hour…."</span><br /><span style="color:#339999;">He said, "So you have been cheating me?"I said, "I am not cheating you. I am your most prominent patient. In the university everybody else laughs at you, I am the only one who supports you. And the others who come here, come here because of me—because I say that my migraine disappeared."He said, "My God, now I am suffering from migraine. Go!"</span><br /><span style="color:#339999;"></span><br /><span style="color:#339999;">People used to become angry with me. They would tell me, "My migraine, instead of going, has become more intense—because a cold stomach does not help migraine!"I would say, "Then your system must work differently. With my system, it helps me!"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Courtsey: </span><a href="http://www.oshoworld.com/biography/innercontent.asp?FileName=biography5/05-12-medicine.txt"><em><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.oshoworld.com/biography/innercontent.asp?FileName=biography5/05-12-medicine.txt</span></em></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
