[www.keralites.net] OM ! YOGA THERAPY

Om! Yoga therapy to remove all disorders!

BANGALORE: Yoga is no longer a traditional fitness workout. The National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro-Sciences (Nimhans) not only has a 45-minute yoga package to treat psychiatric disorders like depression and schizophrenia, but has started comparing its curative effects with general medicine.
Doctors at Nimhans say their studies reveal evidence of biological changes in the body brought about by yoga. They prescribe yoga therapy along with medication in major ailments, while using yoga therapy alone for less serious disorders.

Nimhans is currently doing rigorous clinical trials on the impact of yoga in treatment. Doctors are also measuring biological parameters in patients after yoga therapy. This project has been taken up as the scientific community has still not accepted the role of yoga despite even mainstream doctors prescribing it with allopathic treatment.

"In all our investigations, there is a high degree of evidence that yoga in different forms does have a curative effect in diseases like depression, memory loss in elderly persons, schizophrenia and others. We worked out specific protocols for yoga for specific neurological problems. The degree of improvement is comparable to that of medicine," said programme director, Advanced Centre for Yoga, Nimhans, Dr B N Gangadhar.

Benefits of yoga

Nimhans worked out 12 hypothetical leads, and for some, experts have found evidence.

* Yoga reduces cortisol levels (cortisol is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland. It's released in response to stress and low level of blood glucocorticoids)

* Yoga increases brain derived neurotrophic factor (BNDF). The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the nerve growth factor family. Expression of this gene is reduced in patients suffering from Alzheimer's and Huntington. It may regulate stress response

* Yoga helps reduce TNF alfa (tumour necrosis factor)

"We found that chanting of `Om' reduces activity of sensors which have become hyperactive in patients suffering from depression. About 35-40 patients come to our centre every day. We've developed a 45-minute package that should be practised daily. We found certain biological parameters also change with yoga practice. It's not merely faith in a traditional therapy; it's much more than faith," Dr B N Gangadhar said.

Case study

The yoga university (Bangalore and Jigani) recently found evidence that it can reduce sugar levels and help control it in a case of juvenile onset diabetes Type 1 of 14-year-old Rakshith S. He suffered very high sugar levels and severe glaucoma for 18 months but now his sugar level has stabilized thanks to 21 days of intensive yoga therapy. It's a matter of pride for Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samstha University.

Rakshith was diagnosed with diabetes at the age of 12 after complaints of giddiness and tiredness and being very hungry most of the time. In September 2009, he was diagnosed with fasting blood sugar level of 340 mg/dl and post-prandial blood sugar level of 525 mg/dl.

"Doctors asked me to take insulin. I used to inject it. Despite using high doses, blood sugar level didn't come to normal," he said.

When he came to SVYASA, his insulin dosage was 24 units in the morning and 24 in the evening. A holistic approach that included asanas, pranayama, suddhi kriyas or detox methods, meditation and sattvic food was put in place. But Rakshith had glaucoma in which the intraocular pressure rises, so he couldn't do all the asanas.

His therapist Rupali Ashok Zamvar said: "We saw tremendous improvement and stability in his sugar level after therapy. His insulin dosage was gradually reduced. We gave him instant relaxation, quick relaxation and deep relaxation techniques. Diet also played a major role."

These reports are highly misleading. With what is reported above, there seems to be a lot of extrapolation of what was actually found to what is being claimed. The doctor at NIMHANS has the responsib... Read MoreDr. Srinivas Kakkilaya

The department of AYUSH launched a country-wide Stop Diabetes campaign. In it, we train yoga practitioners to treat diabetes patients. Extensive research over 20 years reveal that blood sugar reduces with yoga and good cholestrol increases. It has a calming effect on body and mind. We have seen improvements in those suffering from hypertension, obesity, heart diseases and cancer.

[www.keralites.net] BAD BREATH AND YOUR HEALTH

Bad Breath and Your Health

A-

breath doesn't necessary mean poor hygiene, but it could be the symptom of an untreated disease. The smell of your breath can tell you an awful lot about different health issues you might have and which type of doctor you should see.

Below are 9 health issues associated with bad breath. Take note of these and make an appointment with a doctor if you think your bad breath might be a symptom of something serious:

1. Acid Reflux or Heartburn – Sour Smell

If your breath smells sour, then there is a condition associated with it – acid reflux. In order to control this smell and make it disappear, you'll have to take control of your condition first. Also, changing your diet and excluding trigger foods such as garlic, alcohol, spicy food, and coffee may help.

2. Gum Disease – Rotting Teeth Smell

If you have a rotten tooth, then your breath will certainly be letting you know that something is wrong. If this is the case, then you need to make an appointment with the dentist. Gingivitis and periodontitis are the two main conditions associated with rotting teeth and bad odor from your mouth.

3. Stomach Cancer – Metallic Taste and Smell

A metallic taste in your mouth with a similar breath odor is a typical sign of advanced stomach cancer. However, it must be noted that certain medications can sometimes give similar smelling breath.

4. Diabetes – Fruity Smell

A fruity smell from your mouth wouldn't be considered much of a problem if it weren't for the fact that it's a symptom of a much more serious issue. Such an odor only appears when a person is about to develop a diabetic ketoacidosis. Make an appointment with an endocrinologist if you notice that you have fruity breath.

5. Lung Cancer – Rotting Smell

Lung cancer is known to produce a certain odor in the breath that is often described as a rotting smell. Therefore, if your breath has changed and is smelling of something rotten, it's time to visit the doctor.

6. Kidney Failure – A Fishy Smell

If you have a fishy smell when you exhale then it might mean that you have kidney failure. This disease is very serious, so putting off visiting the doctor is out of the question.

7. Lactose Intolerance – Sour Milk Smell

A sour milk smell is a definite sign of lactose intolerance, meaning your body can't break down the protein in milk. Other symptoms include cramping and diarrhea.

8. Liver Failure – Moldy and Sweet Smell

A sweet mold-like smell means that your liver is not working well. Another symptom of this condition is the yellowing of your skin and the whites of your eyes. If you notice this, schedule an appointment with your doctor immediately.

9. Tonsil Stones – Dirty Diaper Smell

Tonsil stones accumulate in your throat on the tonsils, giving you breath that some people described as smelling like dirty diapers. One way to treat this condition is to visit a doctor – they'll use a special medical instrument to get rid of the calcium and bacteria that has accumulated in your tonsils.

[www.keralites.net] Scientists say they discovered New Organ

News Picture: Scientists Say They Discovered a 'New Organ' in the Body

Latest MedicineNet News

TUESDAY, March 27, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- The human body is full of surprises. The latest: A newly identified "organ" that might affect major diseases.

Using updated technology, U.S. scientists report they've discovered a "highway of moving fluid."

Layers of the body long believed to be dense, connective tissues are actually interconnected, fluid-filled compartments, the scientists report in a new study.

"This finding has potential to drive dramatic advances in medicine," said study co-senior author Dr. Neil Theise, a pathology professor at NYU Langone Health in New York City.

"The direct sampling of interstitial fluid may become a powerful diagnostic tool," Theise added in an NYU news release.

This discovery, his team said, could also lead to new ways to treat a wide range of health issues, including cancer and age-related conditions.

The newfound network lies below the skin's surface and between muscles, lining the digestive tract, lungs and urinary systems, and surrounding arteries and veins, the researchers said.

They suspect the fluid-filled spaces may act like shock absorbers that prevent the tearing of tissue in organs, muscles and vessels as they move during normal functioning.

The network drains into the lymphatic system, and may explain why cancer that gets into this "highway" is much more likely to spread through the body, the researchers said.

The cells that reside in this network may also play a role in many other body processes, from skin agingto the stiffening of limbs and the progression of inflammatory diseases, according to the report.

The U.S. National Institutes of Health funded the study. According to the authors, it's the first study to recognize the interstitium as an organ in its own right, and one of the largest of the body.

So, how did these fluid-filled spaces go undetected for so long?

Until now, the medical field was dependent on fixed tissue on microscope slides. The tissue is prepared by treating it with chemicals, slicing it thinly and dying it to highlight important features.

However, the fixing process causes fluid loss and collapse of the previously fluid-filled compartments, the researchers explained. The tissue then appeared solid.

The recent discovery was made using a newer technology called probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy, which provides a microscopic view of living tissues instead of fixed ones.

The report is published in the March 27 issue of Scientific Reports.
