Hands that serve are Holier than Lips that Pray

Instead of going to the drugstore when you are coming down with a cold or the flu – why not try your local natural food store?

According to The Medicine Hunter, Chris Kilham, these remedies will help you feel better quickly.

1. Eucalyptus Oil
"Eucalyptus oil is the ultimate cold season decongestant," Kilham said. "Eucalyptus, it's a tree that originates in Australia, and grows all over the world now. The oil is inexpensive and very effective. Fill a bathroom sink full of hot water, drop about five drops of this into the water, drape a towel over your head -- breathe the vapors, and this helps to open up clogged up sinuses."

2. Ginger
"Ginger is just about the best thing for relieving a sore throat, and it makes you feel better almost instantly," Kilham said. "And it also contains ingredients that kill rhinoviruses, which are the viruses that cause colds."

How do you use ginger root for a cold? Kilham said to break off a piece and chop it up very finely or grate it. Put it in a cup and pour boiling water over it, then you let it sit for about five minutes. Strain it and drink it – you can always add honey for extra flavor.

3. Mint
"For decongesting, this is one of my favorite remedies," Kilham said. "And I like this because it's safe for children. Mint contains menthol, and menthol is a compound that helps to open up your sinuses. Chop it up finely, and put it in a cup, then pour boiling water over it. Let it sit for about five minutes. Strain it; you can add a little honey. It will help to decongest, and open up your breathing passages."

4. Umcka
If you don't have time to make a cold tea at home – try umcka.

Umcka is the san tribal name for the African herb perigonian serdoties, according to Kilham.

"What you need to know about this stuff is it reduces the symptoms of a cold quickly, especially congestion. So at the first sign of a cold, you take about a half a teaspoon of this syrup and it starts to work immediately."

These remedies don't have the awful side effects of drugs, Kilham said, and they work quickly and efficiently. He also recommends getting lots of rest, drinking plenty of fluids and eating chicken soup.

[www.keralites.net] : Vitamin C and Lysine Powder Help Prevent Heart Attack

Vitamin C and Lysine Powder Help Prevent Heart Attack

October 20th, 2012

Why is heart attack the number one killer in this country? 99 percent of doctors say it's due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I say it's because cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

History shows mankind is not kind to new ideas. In 1847 one maternity patient in six who entered the University Hospital in Vienna left in a coffin. Why? Because esteemed professors ridiculed Dr. Semmelweiss, a colleague, for showing that by simply washing hands after doing an autopsy, deaths were prevented.

Years later Dr. Linus Pauling, two-time Noble Prize winner, is ignored for reporting that large amounts of vitamin C and lysine are needed to prevent coronary attacks. 25 years ago Pauling reported that animals make vitamin C and humans do not. That's why sailors died of scurvy during long sea voyages, but the ship's cat survived.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Pauling claimed it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens' research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proved that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. This also occurs in coronary arteries.

So what has happened to these monumental findings? Bush, like Semmelweiss, has been ridiculed by cardiologists. One has to ask whether cardiologists, by ignoring his results, are condemning thousands of people to an early needless coronary heart attack.

Fourteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal, for several reasons.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking Lipitor. I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications. I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It's a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I've been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus is available at health food stores. Its sales will help support The Gifford-Jones Professorship in Pain Control and Palliative Care at the University of Toronto.

The dosage for the Medi -C Plus combination is one flat scoop with breakfast and the evening meal with either water or orange juice. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. If high doses cause diarrhea, the dose should be decreased.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. This is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

Most of today's cardiologists are impervious to persuasion. They continue to believe that cholesterol-lowering drugs are the be-all-and-end-all to prevent heart attack. They've been brain-washed by millions of dollars worth of promotion by pharmaceutical companies. It reminds me of the saying that cautions "It's not what you don't know what gets you into trouble, it's the things you know for sure that ain't so!"

It's time for cardiologists to have an open mind and stop ignoring this research. As for me, I bet my life on it.

[www.keralites.net] THEY DON'T HAVE BIRTHDAYS - Yemen. Most don't know their age.

THEY DON'T HAVE BIRTHDAYS - Yemen. Most don't know their age.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIhutkpsgDo

video 3 minutes and 15 seconds

I have been shocked to find out that the vast majority of Yemeni people I've met on the streets over the last 5 days do not know their age or birthday.

In the Western World, it's second nature to celebrate our birthdays and keep a close eye on our age... but none of these things matter in Yemen, and it's unbelievable to witness! What I've come to realize (and my reason for making this video), is that life in Yemen is simple. They don't have (or need) materialistic goods like fancy houses, cars, TVs and phones. They are perfectly happy with minimal things and spending their days with family and friends. This video represents a bigger lesson that I've picked up from my travels in general -- that the less money someone has, the happier they are. Yemen is a perfect case study to prove my point. I am loving it here.

 Subject:: Benefits of Walking
  





The human body is made to walk.
Our bodies function better when we walk. We are healthier in many ways when we walk.
Walking 30 minutes a day cuts the rate of people becoming diabetic by more than   half and it cuts the risk of people over 60 becoming diabetic by almost 70 percent.
    Walking cuts the risk of stroke by more than 25 percent.
Walking reduces hypertension. The body has over 100,000 miles of blood vessels. Those blood vessels are more supple and healthier when we walk.
Walking cuts the risk of cancer as well as diabetes and stroke.
    Women who walk have a 20 percent lower likelihood of getting breast cancer and a 31 percent lower risk of getting colon cancer.
Women with breast cancer who walk regularly can reduce their recurrence rate and their mortality rate by over 50 percent.
    The human body works better when we walk. The body resists diseases better when we walk, and the body heals faster when we walk.
We dont have to walk a lot. Thirty minutes a day has a huge impact on our health.
Men who walk thirty minutes a day have a significantly lower level of prostate cancer. Men who walk regularly have a 60 percent lower risk of colon cancer.
    For men with prostate cancer, studies have shown that walkers have a 46 percent lower mortality rate.
Walking also helps prevent depression, and people who walk regularly are more likely to see improvements in their depression. In one study, people who walked and took medication scored twice as well in 30 days as the women who only took the medication. Another study showed that depressed people who walked regularly had a significantly higher level of not being depressed in a year compared to depressed people who did not walk. The body generates endorphins when we walk. Endorphins help us feel good.
    Walking strengthens the heart. Walking strengthens bones. Walking improves the circulatory system.
Walking generates positive neurochemicals. Healthy eating is important but dieting can trigger negative neurochemicals and can be hard to do.
    Walking generates positive neurochemicals. People look forward to walking and enjoy walking.
And research shows that fit beats fat for many people. Walking half an hour a day has health benefits that exceed the benefits of losing 20 pounds.
    When we walk every day, our bodies are healthier and stronger. A single 30 minute walk can reduce blood pressure by five points for over 20 hours.
Walking reduces the risk of blood clots in your legs.
People who walk regularly have much lower risk of deep vein thrombosis.
    People who walk are less likely to catch colds, and when people get colds, walkers have a 46 percent shorter symptom time from their colds.
Walking improves the health of our blood, as well. Walking is a good boost of high density cholesterol and people with high levels of HDL are less likely to have heart attacks and stroke.
    Walking speeds up metabolism and burns calories. Walkers often find that eating habits change and weight loss results from those eating changes.
Walking significantly diminishes the risk of hip fracture and the need for gallstone surgery is 20 to 31 percent lower for walkers.
    Walking is the right thing to do.
The body needs to walk.
We dont need to walk a lot 30 minutes a day makes the body work better.
The best news is that the 30 minutes doesnt have to be done in one lump of time. Two 15 minute walks achieve the same goals. Three 10 minute walks achieve most of those goals.
    We can walk 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night and achieve our walking goals.
Walking feels good. It helps the body heal. It keeps the body healthy. It improves our biological health, our physical health, our psychosocial health, and helps with our emotional health. Walking can literally add years entire years to your life.
    Its good to walk.
Be good to yourself.
Be good to your body.
If you can where you can walk.
Everybody.
Walk.

[www.keralites.net] : Write all prescriptions in capital letters, Mumbai citizens tell doctors

   Write all prescriptions in capital letters, Mumbai citizens tell doctors
  
 MUMBAI: It turns out that all those jokes about doctors' scrawl are not funny at all.
    
 Doctors' illegible handwriting causes 7,000 deaths in the US every year and another 1.5 million Americans report minor adverse reactions-be it diarrhoea or rashes-or even death.
  
 Now, a movement has begun in Mumbai asking the medical fraternity to write prescriptions in "separate, capital letters". The brainchild of an NGO called the Forum for Enhancement of Quality in   Healthcare (FEQH) and the Quality Council of India (a semi-government organization accrediting services), the first meeting on the issue held last week was   attended by representatives of medical associations and NGOs. The campaign borrows from QCI's hospital accreditation system called the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals (NABH) which requires prescriptions to be written in capital letters.
  
 "We don't have an estimate of how many people suffer or die because prescriptions written by doctors couldn't be deciphered by pharmacists. But going by the US estimates, we can be sure that India, where 40 lakh prescriptions are written every day, has a fair share of errors," said FEQH chairperson Prakash Gadgil.
    
 Few cases of the tragedy that poor handwriting can wreak have made it to the annals of Indian medical history; in the most famous one, a three-year-old child died at the Spring Meadows Hospital in Noida a decade ago. The family was awarded Rs 17.5 lakh in compensation by the National Consumer Forum.
  
 Medico-legal expert Dr Lalit Kapoor from the Association of Medical Consultants   ( AMC) recalled that the pediatrician had diagnosed the child with typhoid fever   and written out a prescription that included an injection of chloromycetin to be given intravenously. But the nurse read the medicine as chloroquine and the child died after suffering for a few days. "I always tell young doctors that their bad handwriting could cost them lakhs," said Dr Kapoor.
  
 But will doctors accept the 'write in capitals' campaign? Dr Mukesh Gupta, who edits AMC's medical journal Grasp, is positive. "There are always situations in which the nurse is not sure if 51U is '5 international units' or '51 units'. It would be better to write medicines in   capitals," he said.
  
 The difficulty would be in changing decades of habit. "The habit (of writing in capitals) has to begin in medical schools for it to catch on," said Kapoor. But as Gupta added: "We could write out 100 prescriptions in capitals the time we take to answer phone calls from patients needing to reconfirm the medicines they bought."
  
 The prescription writing habit is changing worldwide. Almost a third of all the prescriptions in the US are   electronic. The e-change occurred after a Cornell University study in 2010 showed that nearly two in five handwritten prescriptions had errors.
  
 Closer home, state government-run JJ Hospital in Byculla offers only computerized prescriptions. "We want to implement the computerized prescription plan in all our 14 medical colleges. While this wasn't envisaged due to poor handwriting of doctors, there is no denying that it cuts down on prescription errors," said JJ Hospital dean T P Lahane.
  
 But given the uneven computerization levels in India, Gadgil felt that writing in capital letters would be a better option, especially at stand-alone clinics. Dr Snehalate Deshmukh, former vice-chancellor of Bombay University and former dean of Sion Hospital, concurred, with a caveat: "Doctors shouldn't forget their verbal communication and remember to brief the patient on how to take the medicines."
  
 Mukesh Gupta said the idea would be best implemented by doctors themselves. "We could get doctors' associations to put out   statements in medical journals. We could have slides about it during continued medical education lectures, associations could send SMSes to their members, etc," he said.

 Warm rgds,
