World's Eco-Friendliest Country, Bhutan, Celebrates Birth Of New Prince By Planting 108,000 trees
by James Gould-Bourn


 How does Bhutan, the world's most eco-friendly and carbon-negative country, celebrate the recent birth of its new prince? By planting trees of course. Lots and lots of trees.
108,000 saplings were planted in the tiny mountain Kingdom to commemorate the first Royal Child of His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Her Majesty Queen Jetsun Pema.
The Bhutanese constitution stipulates that at least 60 percent of land remains forested at all times, but this green-fingered celebration wasn't just inspired by the country's commitment to ecological preservation.
"In Buddhism, a tree is the provider and nourisher of all life forms,' said Tenzin Lekphell, who coordinated the initiative. 'It symbolizes longevity, health, beauty and even compassion."
This isn't the first time that Bhutan has made headlines for its epic tree-planting sessions. In 2015, the country set a Guinness World Record by planting almost 50,000 trees in just one hour. Which is proof, if ever you needed it, that while Bhutan might be small in size, it's definitely big when it comes to awesomeness.

 Bhutan - The happiest place on Earth 

Bhutan, a Buddhist kingdom on the Himalayas' eastern edge, is a land of monasteries, fortresses (or dzongs) and dramatic topography ranging from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys. In the High Himalayas, peaks such as 7,326m Jomolhari are a destination for serious trekkers. Taktsang Palphug (Tiger's Nest) monastery, a sacred site, clings to cliffs above the forested Paro Valley.

[www.keralites.net] ACHILLES TENDON RUPTURE

 

Achilles tendon rupture
By Mayo Clinic

Definition

Achilles (uh-KILL-eez) tendon rupture is an injury that affects the back of your lower leg. It most commonly occurs in people playing recreational sports.

The Achilles tendon is a strong fibrous cord that connects the muscles in the back of your calf to your heel bone. If you overstretch your Achilles tendon, it can tear (rupture) completely or just partially.

If your Achilles tendon ruptures, you might feel a pop or snap, followed by an immediate sharp pain in the back of your ankle and lower leg that is likely to affect your ability to walk properly. Surgery is often the best option to repair an Achilles tendon rupture. For many people, however, nonsurgical treatment works just as well.

Symptoms

Although it's possible to have no signs or symptoms with an Achilles tendon rupture, most people experience:

Pain, possibly severe, and swelling near your heel
An inability to bend your foot downward or "push off" the injured leg when you walk
An inability to stand on your toes on the injured leg
A popping or snapping sound when the injury occurs
When to see your doctor

Seek medical advice immediately if you feel a pop or snap in your heel, especially if you can't walk properly afterward.

Causes

Your Achilles tendon helps you point your foot downward, rise on your toes and push off your foot as you walk. You rely on it virtually every time you move your foot.

Rupture usually occurs in the section of the tendon located within 2 1/2 inches (about 6 centimeters) of the point where it attaches to the heel bone. This section may be predisposed to rupture because it gets less blood flow, which also may impair its ability to heal.

Ruptures often are caused by a sudden increase in the amount of stress on your Achilles tendon. Common examples include:

Increasing the intensity of sports participation, especially in sports that involve jumping
Falling from a height
Stepping into a hole
 Risk factors

Factors that may increase your risk of Achilles tendon rupture include:

Age. The peak age for Achilles tendon rupture is 30 to 40.
Sex. Achilles tendon rupture is up to five times more likely to occur in men than in women.
Recreational sports. Achilles tendon injuries occur more often during sports that involve running, jumping, and sudden starts and stops — such as soccer, basketball and tennis.
Steroid injections. Doctors sometimes inject steroids into an ankle joint to reduce pain and inflammation. However, this medication can weaken nearby tendons and has been associated with Achilles tendon ruptures.
Certain antibiotics. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics, such as ciprofloxacin (Cipro) or levofloxacin (Levaquin), increase the risk of Achilles tendon rupture.
Treatments and drugs

Treatment for a ruptured Achilles tendon often depends on your age, activity level and the severity of your injury. In general, younger and more active people often choose surgery to repair a completely ruptured Achilles tendon, while older people are more likely to opt for nonsurgical treatment. Recent studies, however, have shown fairly equal effectiveness of both operative and nonoperative management.

Nonsurgical treatment

This approach typically involves wearing a cast or walking boot with wedges to elevate your heel, which allows your torn tendon to heal. This method avoids the risks associated with surgery, such as infection. However, the likelihood of re-rupture may be higher with a nonsurgical approach, and recovery can take longer. If re-rupture occurs, surgical repair may be more difficult.

Surgery

The procedure generally involves making an incision in the back of your lower leg and stitching the torn tendon together. Depending on the condition of the torn tissue, the repair may be reinforced with other tendons. Surgical complications can include infection and nerve damage. Infection rates are reduced in surgeries that employ smaller incisions.

Rehabilitation

After treatment, whether surgical or nonsurgical, you'll go through a rehabilitation program involving physical therapy exercises to strengthen your leg muscles and Achilles tendon. Most people return to their former level of activity within four to six months.

Prevention

To reduce your chance of developing Achilles tendon problems, follow these tips:

Stretch and strengthen calf muscles. Stretch your calf to the point at which you feel a noticeable pull but not pain. Don't bounce during a stretch. Calf-strengthening exercises can also help the muscle and tendon absorb more force and prevent injury.
Vary your exercises. Alternate high-impact sports, such as running, with low-impact sports, such as walking, biking or swimming. Avoid activities that place excessive stress on your Achilles tendons, such as hill running and jumping activities.
Choose running surfaces carefully. Avoid or limit running on hard or slippery surfaces. Dress properly for cold-weather training and wear well-fitting athletic shoes with proper cushioning in the heels.
Increase training intensity slowly. Achilles tendon injuries commonly occur after abruptly increasing training intensity. Increase the distance, duration and frequency of your training by no more than 10 percent each week.

[www.keralites.net] World’s first anti-ageing drug could see humans li ve to 120

 

World's first anti-ageing drug could see humans live to 120

Scientists believe the common diabetes drug metformin could hold the secret of long life and want to start a groundbreaking human trial in 2016.


The world's first anti-ageing drug will be tested on humans next year in trials which could see diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's consigned to distant memory.

Scientists now believe that it is possible to actually stop people growing old as quickly and help them live in good health well into their 110s and 120s.

Although it might seem like science fiction, researchers have already proven that the diabetes drug metformin extends the life of animals, and the Food and Drug Administration in the US has now given the go ahead for a trial to see if the same effects can be replicated in humans.


Pensioners could be as healthy as 50 year olds in the future if tests on metformin perform as well as expected Photo: ALAMY

If successful it will mean that a person in their 70s would be as biologically healthy as a 50 year old. It could usher in a new era of 'geroscience' where doctors would no longer fight individual conditions like cancer, diabetes and dementia, but instead treat the underlying mechanism – ageing.

[www.keralites.net] AYURVEDA SOLUTIONSFOR ALL TYPES OF CANCER

 

AYURVEDA SOLUTIONS FOR ALL TYPES OF CANCER.

This is an incredible story of a self-taught Ayurved in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, a dusty town in the Bastar Region, about 3 hours by taxi from Nagpur Airport. His name is Shri Navin Duggad and until about 3 years ago, this remarkable man was a jeweller and diamond merchant by trade. By his own admission, he and his 4 brothers together are considered to be the largest diamond merchant in Central Madhya Pradesh.

Shri Duggad's transformation to an Ayurved happened about 3 years ago when his 89-year-old mother was afflicted with cancer. Shri Duggad decided that rather than subject her to the harsh treatments associated with modern medicine, he would use Ayurveda to treat her and keep her comfortable.

It is said he pored over a Hindi translation of Charak Samhita, the ancient text of Ayurveda, and came up with a regimen of diet and ayurvedic preparations to eliminate his mother's cancer. She is still alive today. And she has motivated her son to focus only on this new gift he had developed to help the poor that suffer from various types of cancer.
 For the last 3 years, Shri Duggad has treated over 9000 cancer patients with an incredible success rate of cure and remission. He has assiduously kept records of each patient he has helped, with detailed lab reports and tumour scans to show that he has beaten cancer in the vast majority of people he has treated.

Shri Duggad does not charge a penny for his service or his proprietary drugs, nor does he accept any donation. He works from 11 AM to 11 PM every day, often working well pastmidnight so that no patient goes away unattended.

His treatment consists of small amounts of herbal concoctions and powders (no heavy metal based bhasma) that have to be consumed over 6 days along with a strict dietary regimen. In addition, the patient has to remain in a completely darkened room (without even a chink of light, TV, cell phone or computer) for periods ranging from 15 to 28 days, depending on the nature of cancer. And he achieves a cure/remission in a matter of weeks, or a month or two, regardless of the type of cancer.

 Shri Duggad says that modern medicinal practices of chemotherapy and radiation therapy are not only costly but ravages the body of the patient, creating other complications.

While tumors may shrink and life span may increase marginally, death is painful and inevitable with modern medicine. Whereas, he argues, his approach gets to the root cause of the cancer and eliminates it in a gentle way where the body is not harmed in any manner.

 In fact, Shri Duggad commented that the poor are lucky because their poverty eliminates the possibility of chemo or radiation therapy, leaving them no option but to seek out alternative therapies like what he practices. But he quickly added that he can also treat people who have undergone a great deal of chemo and radiation therapy and still save them very rapidly.

Shri Duggad is a deeply religious man. He is a Jain by faith and prays fervently each day in front of various pictures of Lord Mahaveera and the Theerthankaras before he starts his practice. He epitomizes the mysticism and inexplicability of India. And the adage "service before self".

I am a co-founder of a life sciences company focused on drug discovery. Being a person of modern science, I am normally prone to skepticism and disbelief about traditional practices. However, I have now personally met many patients under treatment as well as those who have fully recovered from cancers as diverse as prostate, liver, breast, stomach, salivary gland, eyes, throat and leukaemia. I have perused many lab reports associated with these cases and have seen irrefutable proof that Shri Duggad makes a difference. Needless to say, I am shaken and now a believer that modern science may not have all the answers . . . and there is a place for alternative therapies.

In summation, Providence led me to Shri Duggad in search of alternative treatment for my 86-year-old father who has recently been diagnosed with Hepatic Cellular Carcinoma (liver cancer). Modern medicine had thrown up its hands since he is too old to withstand even palliative treatment. By His grace, I am happy to report that my father is doing well after 4 weeks of treatment and most of his symptoms have abated. I am hopeful that his recovery will be sustained.

Because of my personal experience, I will be happy to guide anyone suffering from cancer to Shri Navin Duggad. In the final analysis, a gift I have providentially received must be passed forward, especially with a dreaded disease like cancer. Please free to contact me by email or by SMS, and I shall revert to you very shortly.
