[www.keralites.net] : A journey from death to life - Amit Vaidya - New York hosp gave 1 month to live -Saved at Valsad [5 Attachments]

Not a medical advice as seen on net.

Life was a dream for Amit Vaidya, who soared high financially and professionally till he was diagnosed with cancer when he was 27

Amit Vaidya lived the American dream. A Gujarati, born and brought up in the US, with a Ph.D. in economics, he worked in the entertainment industry's business department. "It was an active but not a healthy lifestyle as I was an overachiever," says Amit. His dreams "were shattered" when a few months after his father's death he was diagnosed with first stage gastric cancer. "The fall was great as I had risen to great heights when I was 27."

A journey from death to life

Opting not to do surgery, he went in for "aggressive chemo radiation" in New York. Two years later he went into remission. Within two months of his recovery, his mother was diagnosed with grade three brain tumour. "Nothing worked and I lost her too. Away in a foreign land, being the only child, I felt lonely and a scan showed my cancer had returned after 18 months. This time it showed up in my liver. Nine months later, in 2011, reports showed I was not responding to treatment and the cancer had spread to my lungs too," he says emotionally.

Doctors told Amit that his life too was just a matter of time. "Not wanting to burden my friends, I started planning my funeral.

Soon he planned a trip to India. An aunt also told me about an Ayurvedic hospital in Gujarat that claims to cure cancer in 11 days for just a rupee! Having nothing to lose I wanted to give it a shot."

So off he went and explains that the treatment was disciplined with yoga, meditation and he was made to drink a mix of "desi cow milk, curd, ghee and gobar, go-mutra. I was to drink it on an empty stomach. For years everything tasted like saw dust because of the chemo. It was easy to drink something that smelled and tasted as it should. Others there were traumatised by this. I kept faith and did it diligently. I saw no change but felt no worse either."

Scans showed that the cancer "had not spread". Amit then went back to the hospital and lived there for another 40 days. Reports showed the cancer had decreased. "Wanting to continue the therapy," Amit stayed with a farmer, who opened his house to Amit. "He offered me a tiny shack on his farm, a cot, a goshala with desi cows, a well and a toilet. I continued the therapy and after months was able to walk. Over time, walks became jogs, jogs became runs and I started finding joy in my mind. The villagers had time for me, which was the best gift I got, especially when I needed time to heal."

After 18 months Amit claims he is cancer free and decided "on planning to live his life instead of planning a funeral. I now talk to people about my journey and that healing is possible. I make time to spend with cancer patients. It is all free. I have started an NGO called Healing Vaidya."

He does not plan on going back to the US as "this country has given me much. I have learnt that people here don't value what it can offer."

Amit has written Holy Cancer – How A Cow Saved My Life , (Aditya Prakashan, Rs. 495) which was launched in the city recently. The book is available in book stores. For more log on to healingvaidya.org

also available with amazon and Flipkart.

[www.keralites.net] Symptoms of Vitamin C deficiency

15 Signs and Symptoms of Vitamin C Deficiency

1. Rough, Bumpy Skin
Vitamin C deficiency can cause the formation of small acne-like bumps on the arms, thighs or buttocks. However, these bumps alone are not enough to diagnose a deficiency.
2. Corkscrew-Shaped Body Hair
Abnormally bent, coiled or corkscrew-shaped body hairs are a hallmark sign of vitamin C deficiency, but they may be difficult to detect, as these hairs are more likely to fall out.
3. Bright Red Hair Follicles
Hair follicles contain many tiny blood vessels that can rupture due to a vitamin C deficiency, causing bright red spots to appear around the follicles.
4. Spoon-Shaped Fingernails With Red Spots or Lines
Vitamin C deficiency is associated with spoon-shaped fingernails and red lines or spots underneath the nail bed.
5. Dry, Damaged Skin
Low intakes of vitamin C are associated with dry, sun-damaged skin, but these symptoms can also be caused by other factors.
6. Easy Bruising
Vitamin C deficiency weakens blood vessels, causing easy bruising. It's often one of the first obvious signs of vitamin C deficiency.
7. Slowly Healing Wounds
Vitamin C deficiency interferes with tissue formation, causing wounds to heal more slowly. This is considered an advanced sign of deficiency, so other signs and symptoms would likely appear first.
8. Painful, Swollen Joints
Vitamin C deficiency often causes severe joint pain. In severe cases, bleeding can occur within the joints, causing painful swelling.
9. Weak Bones
Vitamin C is important for bone formation, and deficiency can increase the risk of developing weak and brittle bones.
10. Bleeding Gums and Tooth Loss
Red, bleeding gums are a common sign of vitamin C deficiency, and severe deficiency can even lead to tooth loss.
11. Poor Immunity
Vitamin C is an important nutrient for the immune system. Low vitamin C levels are linked to an increased risk of infection, while severe deficiency can cause death from infectious diseases.
12. Persistent Iron Deficiency Anemia
Vitamin C deficiency may increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia by reducing iron absorption and increasing the likelihood of bleeding.
13. Fatigue and Poor Mood
Signs of fatigue and poor mood can appear even with low-to-normal levels of vitamin C, but they quickly turn around with adequate vitamin C intake.
14. Unexplained Weight Gain
Low vitamin C intake has been linked to increased body fat in humans, but other factors may be involved, such as diet quality.
15. Chronic Inflammation and Oxidative Stress
Regular consumption of antioxidants like vitamin C is associated with health benefits, while low intakes may increase inflammation and oxidative stress.
The Best Food Sources of Vitamin C
The recommended daily intake (RDI) for vitamin C is 90 mg for men and 75 mg for women (55).

Smokers are advised to consume an additional 35 mg per day, as tobacco reduces the absorption of vitamin C and increases the body's use of the nutrient (6, 56).

Very little vitamin C is needed to prevent scurvy. Just 10 mg per day is enough, which is roughly the amount found in one tablespoon of fresh bell pepper or the juice of half a lemon (57, 58, 59).

Some of the best food sources of vitamin C (per cup) include (60):

Acerola cherry: 2,740% of the RDI
Guava: 628% of the RDI
Blackcurrants: 338% of the RDI
Sweet red pepper: 317% of the RDI
Kiwifruit: 273% of the RDI
Lychee: 226% of the RDI
Lemon: 187% of the RDI
Orange: 160% of the RDI
Strawberry: 149% of the RDI
Papaya: 144% of the RDI
Broccoli: 135% of the RDI
Parsley: 133% of the RDI
Vitamin C rapidly breaks down when exposed to heat, so raw fruits and vegetables are better sources than cooked ones (57).

Since the body does not store large amounts of vitamin C, it is recommended to eat fresh fruits and vegetables every day.

Supplementing with vitamin C has not been found to be toxic, but taking more than 2,000 mg per day may cause abdominal cramps, diarrhea and nausea, as well as increase the risk of developing oxalate kidney stones in men (57, 55, 61, 62).

Additionally, doses over 250 mg per day may interfere with tests designed to detect blood in the stool or stomach and should be discontinued two weeks before testing (63).

SUMMARY
Fresh fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of vitamin C and should prevent deficiency when consumed on a daily basis. Supplementing with vitamin C is not toxic but may cause unpleasant side effects at high doses.
The Bottom Line
Vitamin C deficiency is relatively rare in developed countries but still affects more than 1 in 20 people.

Since humans cannot make vitamin C or store it in large amounts, it must be consumed regularly to prevent deficiency, ideally through fresh fruits and vegetables.

There are many signs and symptoms of deficiency, most of which are related to impairments in collagen production or not consuming enough antioxidants.

Some of the earliest signs of deficiency include fatigue, red gums, easy bruising and bleeding, joint pain and rough, bumpy skin.

As the deficiency progresses, bones may become brittle, nail and hair deformities can develop, wounds may take longer to heal and the immune system suffers.

Inflammation, iron-deficiency anemia and unexplained weight gain may be other signs to watch for.

Thankfully, deficiency symptoms are usually resolved once vitamin C levels are restored.

Respect A Woman because:
You can feel her INNOCENCE in the form of a daughter
You can feel her CARE in the form of a sister
You can feel her WARMTH in the form of a friend
You can feel her PASSION in the form of a belove

You can feel her DEDICATION in the form of a wife
You can feel her DIVINITY in the form of a mother
You can feel her BLESSING in the form of a grandmother
Yet she is so TOUGH too
Her heart is so TENDER... So NAUGHTY...

To all the wonder woman those man who
thinks that a woman is weak, who
disrespects her, abuses her, beats her up

They somewhat forget that the one who gave
birth to a non-deserving creep like him is also
a woman..!

[www.keralites.net] THIS IS LIFE

Life!
I watched a local football match in a school playing ground.
As I sat down, I asked one of the boys what the score was.
With a proud smile, he replied; "They are leading us 3-0"!
REALLY!
I have to say you don't look discouraged.
"Discouraged?" the boy asked with a puzzled look.
Why should I be discouraged when the referee has not blown the final whistle ?
Truly, I didn't have an answer to this question!
As I got back home that night, his question became a course in my stay in life indeed.
Life is like a game.
Why should you be discouraged when your referee,...
The Almighty has not blown the final whistle on your life?
The truth is that as long as there is life, nothing is impossible it is never too late for you.
Half time is not full time HIS calendar is not man's.
Don't blow the whistle yourself.
Create an awesome life..."

[www.keralites.net] PURPLE MANGOES

THESE PURPLE MANGOES ARE CALLED TOMMY ATKINS .... GROWN MUKESH AMBANI'S LAKHI BAGH @ JAMNAGAR .....

The Tommy Atkins mango comes from a mango cultivar dating wayyyyyyyyyy back in the early 1920's.
Its favorable purple color has helped it being marketed due to its long shelf life while being transported and slow rotting but definitely unfavorable as a fruit as its highly fibrous, non-sweet and flavorless.
Hybrid mango growers have tried their best to sweeten up these Tommies over the last century, with little result.
