 Bypass the Bypass surgery ?  Eat or drink Pomegranate decoctions

 EVERY SEED OF POMEGRANATE (DELUM) WHICH GOES IN YOUR STOMACH IS A SEED OF LIFE FOR YOUR HEART

Two things are full of benefits for the human being, Lukewarm water & Pomegranate.

Pomegranate is a seasonal fruit in Pakistan so I tried an experiment with dried pomegranate seeds. I prepared a decoction boiling the fistful of dried seeds in half litre of water for 10 minutes, squeezed the seeds, strained the decoction and advised those patients suffering from painful angina to use a glass of lukewarm decoction on an empty stomach in the morning. Amazing result was observed, the decoction of dried pomegranate seeds worked like a magic, the feelings of tightness and heaviness of chest and the pain had gone.

It encouraged me to try more experiments on all types of cardiac patients so I tried other experiments on patients who were suffering from painful angina, coronary arterial blockage, cardiac ischemia (insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle) etc, waiting for a bypass surgery. The same lukewarm decoction was used on an empty stomach in the morning. The patients experienced quick relief in all symptoms including painful condition.

In another case of coronary arterial blockage the patient started using half glass of fresh pomegranate juice everyday for one year, although all symptoms were completely relieved within a week but he continued taking it for a whole year, it completely reversed the plaque build-up and unblocked his arteries to normal, the angiography report confirmed the evidence.

Thus decoction of dried pomegranate seeds, fresh pomegranate juice or eating a whole pomegranate on empty stomach in the morning proved to be a miracle cure for cardiac patients. But the lukewarm dried seeds decoction proved to be more effective compared to eating a whole pomegranate or fresh pomegranate juice.

Use of pomegranate in any way has demonstrated even more dramatic effects as blood thinner, pain killing properties for cardiac patients, lowers LDL (low-density lipoprotein or bad cholesterol) and raises the HDL (high-density lipoprotein or good cholesterol). There are more than 50 different types of heart diseases, the most common being coronary artery disease (CAD), which is the number one killer of both women and men in some countries, and there has been no medicinal cure for this disease.

Many cardiac patients have reversed their heart diseases on my advice using one glass of lukewarm decoction of pomegranate dried seeds, half glass of fresh pomegranate juice or eating a whole pomegranate on empty stomach in the morning. It was the very first real breakthrough in the history of cardiology to successfully treat the cardiac diseases by a fruit.

The more super foods to obtain even faster results for cardiac patients which are most promising curative and protective agents like fresh raisins, quince, guava, prunes (dried plums), natural vinegar, mixture of grape fruit juice and honey in the morning (empty stomach), basil leaves, chicory leaves, powder of oregano leaves and rock salt in equal quantity (in case the patient is not hypertensive) and sesame oil as cooking oil for cardiac patients.

It is regretted to say that treating the heart patients and bypass surgery has become far more profitable business around the world which has failed to help avert life threatening heart attacks and life time cardiac complications resulting in almost paralyzed life. A regular use of pomegranate in any way ensures a healthy cardiac life, thinning your blood, dissolving the blood clots and obstruction inside the coronary arteries, maintains an optimal blood flow, supports a healthy blood pressure, prevents and reverses atherosclerosis. (Thickening of the internal lining of the blood vessels) from whatever I experienced and observed in last several years, I can say:
"A pomegranate a day keeps the cardiologist away." you can try and see the wonder.

Note : In India , dried pomegranate seeds are known as "ANAARDANA" and is available in most grocery stores. In North India , it is commonly used in place of tamarind for taste and also for aiding the digestion.
Pomegranate fruit, (डाळिंब) or (अनार) is also commonly available in market.

Your Liver and Sleep

I NEITHER ENDORSE NOR OBJECT TO THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS BLOG. THEY ARE SIMPLY COLLECTED AT ONE PLACE.

I do not know the origin of this mail. Its language also appears to be Japlish or Chinlish or something like that.  Anyway, the sum total appears to be have regular food habits and do not eat junk food. It helps your liver.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This blog has been now read by over 700 readers!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The main causes of liver damage are:

1.      Sleeping too late and waking up too late
2.      Not urinating in the morning.
3.      Too much eating.
4.      Skipping breakfast.
5.      Consuming too much medication.
6.      Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and artificial sweetener.
7.      Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. Try to reduce the use of cooking oil when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.
8.      Consuming raw(?) (overly done) Foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store.

We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule."

Because!!!!

Here comes the reason....... (Assumed Body cycle)
Evening at 9 - 11 PM:
It is the time for eliminating unnecessary/ toxic chemicals (detoxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes).This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time a housewife is still in an un-relaxed state such as washing the dishes or monitoring children doing their homework, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1 am:
It is the detoxification process in the liver, and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3 am:
The detoxification process in the gall is ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5 am:
It is the time of detoxification in the lungs. Therefore, there will some times be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the detoxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am:
The time of detoxification in the colon, so you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9 am:
The absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you should be having breakfast at this time.
Breakfast should be earlier, before 6:30 am, for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30 am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit.
Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 - 10 am rather than no meal at all.
Sleeping so late and waking up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4:00 am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late.

COCONUT OIL-cure for alzheimer ?

I NEITHER ENDORSE NOR OBJECT TO THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS BLOG. THEY ARE SIMPLY COLLECTED AT ONE PLACE

Actually I was very happy to find an example of  'GOOD KLOSTROL' in the wonderful Coconut oil. The vedio claimes that this oil not only cures Alzheimer's desease, but also protects brain from some other dis orders.  Then I found on snoops that this claim is 'uncertain'. That means it does not fulfil 5 golden rules of varification. Anyway, one can give benefit of doubt to Coconut oil, if he enjoys it. All Keralites, Tamilians, Mangaloreans etc. should feel happy.

Why our ancestors used copper utensils ?

I NEITHER ENDORSE NOR OBJECT TO THE VIEWS EXPRESSED IN THIS BLOG. THEY ARE SIMPLY COLLECTED AT ONE PLACE

 However, I have reservations about whatever is written below. In my opinion, our ancestors used copper vessels for storing water, probably because of their availability and superiority over other materials before advent of stainless steel. Iron is unsuitable for storing drinking water because it rusts. (Though painted or galvanized steel tanks  are very commonly used to store water for other purposes). Earthen vessels are commonly used for storing drinking water in rural areas, but as they can break easily, metallic vessels are more reliable.
I recently took out a copper vessel from my attic, cleaned it thoroughly with Pitambari and wire brush and made it shiny, filled it with water and started using it. However, municipal tap water stored in it started giving peculiar odour and the vessel also showed some stain marks on the next day. That means copper may not be suitable for the air and water in our city. They are affected perhaps due to chlorination and pollution, and the vessel needs thorough cleaning everyday, if we want to drink water stored in it.  Maintenance of stainless steel vessels and glass bottles is relatively easier.  Plastic is also easier, but is now a days considered to be harmful!
The article on Copper as received by me is reproduced below. I have no way to check its authenticity.

Why our ancestors used copper utensils ??????

 

This is the modern explanation for same.....Even gangajal a sacred water is stored in copper vessel and it remains for years forever , this is nice one i got,,

Chemical Secrets of Copper water: Immunity, Fertility - Dr.Shirish Bhate
Copper can destroy undesirable Virus& bacteria. It is interesting
The Ayurveda new this, when bacteria were unknown to science.!

Ayurveda recommends storing water in Copper Vessels. Ancient Egyptians used Copper Vessels to keep water fresh. Even today, management of Siva temple at Rameswaram uses large sized Copper vessels to store water brought from river Ganges to offer to lord Siva.Water, stored thus, stays fresh for years together.

According to scientists, copper vessel can be the answer to kill the `E-Coli' bacteria which causes food poisoning. British scientists are carrying out research on copper and concluded that copper ions kill these harmful bacteria, a capability not found in any other metals including gold. It is interesting to see that a research group from Southampton University found that Coli 157 bacteria can live happily in stainless steel vessels for months together, while copper vessel at room temperature can kill them in just four hours. At 20 deg centigrade, in the stainless steel vessel, those bacteria live for 34 days, while in brass vessel they live only for 4 days.

Thus if one uses copper vessels for storing water in factories, shops, hospitals, restaurants, we can get rid of the risk of these food poisoning bacteria. Though stainless steel is much used for its shine and cleanliness, the copper is more useful material for vessels.

Copper and Fertility:

The advantages of drinking copper water was pointed out by Andrew Saul, Contributing Editor for the Journal of Ortho molecular Medicine, while speaking on fertility, conception & family planning. In his own words -"If u want to conceive, try having the man take mega doses of vitamin C for a few weeks prior. At least 6,000 milligrams a day, and as much as 20,000 mg/day guarantees very high sperm production. Divide the dose throughout the day for maximum effect. And that effect is what, exactly? More sperm, stronger sperm, and better swimming sperm all occurred, at even lower daily C doses, in a University of Texas. Continued high doses of zinc can produce a copper deficiency & sometimes a copper deficiency anemia. This is very easy to compensate for. To begin with, most Americans have copper water pipes in their homes...Drink a glass or two of cold water first out of the tap every morning and you'll get copper....Secondly, eat more raisins and other copper-high  foods....... Third, take a multiple vitamin (as you should be doing anyway) with copper in it.

Finally, do what those sexpots in India have been doing for thousands of years. Buy a copper metal cup, fill it with cold water at bedtime, and drink it first thing the next morning!!!

It is also seen that copper water becomes "sharp" and gets readily absorbed by our body, reaches cells in about 45 minutes. Hence, it is generally recommended that after Ushapan (Drinking water in morning) , one should give a gap of 45 minutes before taking tea or coffee. Copper water is also recommended to people suffering from vitiligo, where it helps formation of melanin. After starting on copper water, many do not need cold water to satisfy the thirst. With yoga, pranayama and other breathing techniques, senses become so sharp that taste and quality of water can be sensed adequately. Though copper water is slightly ionic, it does not cause gastric acidity to increase. On the other hand, due to increased Agni and digestion, acidity reduces...

How to Avoid Cataracts !

How to Avoid Cataracts !

 A cataract is a clouding that develops in the lens of the eye and blur our vision, causing nearsightedness (myopia) and decreasing our ability to detect the color blue.
Left untreated, they may even cause full blindness. Many people develop cataracts in later ages, but there are ways to refrain from developing it, especially at an earlier age. Adhere to these tips and you may prevent a cataract ever forming on your lens!

  Protect the eyes from the potential side effects of certain medications. Prolonged use of steroids, tranquilizers, and psoriasis medication may cause cataracts when taken in large doses over a long period of time.
 Those suffering from diabetes should keep their blood sugar under control. This is because diabetics tend to develop cataracts faster and at an earlier age than other adults.
 Protect your eyes from ultraviolet sun rays as these rays speed up the development of cataracts. Whenever out in the sun, wear sunglasses.
 Studies have shown that antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C, vitamin E and beta carotene slow the development of cataracts. Make sure your body doesn't lack any of these vitamins and if it does, take supplements.
  If there is uncontrolled diabetes, injury to the eye, or visual symptoms of decreased reading vision, consult an ophthalmologist to evaluate the problem to help restore sight and prevent blindness.

 Foods like butter, oils (except olive oil) and salt, and increased fat consumption in general has been associated with a higher risk of developing cataracts. So, avoid using or limit the intake of such foods.

 A diet rich in spinach, cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli), tomatoes, peppers, citrus fruits and melons help prevent cataracts.

 Avoid exposure to heavy metals, particularly cadmium, copper, lead, iron and nickel as they may also increase cataract formation as these metals have been found in cataractous lenses.

 Cataracts that occur due to the ageing process cannot be prevented as the ageing process itself cannot be prevented, but they can be delayed and fought against, so
that you may not have to deal with them when you get older.

Urinating Frequently at Night (Nocturia)?

Here's What You Should Do

by: Junji Takano

Geting up to the toilet in the middle of the night to urinate is quite common especially among the elderly. Many people consider this as part of normal aging. One episode of night urination is considered within normal limits. But if you are urinating more frequently than this, then you may be suffering from nocturia, and it could be a sign of a more serious problem or disease.

What Causes Frequent Urination?

First, let's talk about frequent urination that affects you both day and night.
There are many different causes of urinary frequency. More often this is caused by a problem in the bladder and urethra.
1. Overactive bladder : frequency is more than 8 times a day due to sudden urge to urinate even when the bladder is not full.
2. Enlarged prostate : caused by the prostate pressing on the urethra, which prevents the bladder from emptying completely.
However, if you urinate frequently during night time only, then it can be caused by other problems. One of these is problem in the heart.

Frequent Urination at Night is a Sign of Heart Disease!

Usually at night while you sleep, your brain produces anti diuretic hormones to limit the formation of urine by the kidneys so you can get a good night's sleep.
However, for some people, this is not the case, and the amount of urine still increases at night. Why exactly would this happen?
The answer has something to do with the pumping function of the heart. In essence, urine comes from the blood that has been filtered by the kidneys. If you have a heart problem, the blood pumping will be much weaker.
Now to explain it further, here's what actually happens: if the heart pumps blood at a weaker rate due to heart disease, then the blood will fail or will have difficulties to return to the heart. Swelling of the lower limbs (legs and ankles) will most likely occur as the blood pools in the extremities during the day.
At night, as the patient lies down, the blood or fluid that accumulated in the lower limbs will return to the heart. This time, the heart will need to work harder. This in turn forces the kidneys to produce more urine to decrease pressure in the heart. The result is nocturia or frequent urination at night!

Sleep Apnea Syndrome Can Trigger Nighttime Urination

Recently, a new study found that people suffering from sleep apnea syndrome (interruption of breathing during sleep) may experience nocturia.
Here's what happens during a sleep apnea episode:
1. Oxygen decreases due to obstruction of the upper airway.
2. Carbon dioxide increases.
3. Blood becomes very acidic.
During this time, the body is alarmed that something is wrong and forces the sleeper to wake up. The heart will begin to race and receive false signal that there is fluid overload and tell the body to urinate. This process repeats every time sleep apnea occurs.
Individuals suffering from sleep apnea rarely know that they are having difficulty breathing during sleep. So if you are urinating frequently at night, it can also be a sign that you have sleep apnea syndrome.
Treating the underlying cause of sleep apnea will help stop nocturia.

Four Things You Can Do to Cope With Nocturia

1. Avoid drinking too much liquid before bedtime, especially coffee, tea, and beer, as these beverages have diuretic effect.
2. Focus on lower leg exercise like walking or squatting 3-4 hours before you go to bed. This will help relieve swelling of the legs.
3. Lie or sit down and put your feet up 3-4 hours before bedtime so that some of the fluid in lower extremities will pass as urine before you sleep. Do this for at least 30 minutes. Stretch and bend your ankles at the same time for about 20 times while at this position.
4. Wear compression stockings during the day. This will prevent swelling of legs and feet. Just make sure it is the correct size and remove the stockings once you go to bed.

Important Things to Consider if You Have Nocturia

1. If you have heart or kidney problems, make sure to follow the advice of your doctor.
2. Elderly people should also watch their water intake and make sure that they remain hydrated. Remember that the body's thirst sensation diminishes with age.
3. There are many other possible causes of nocturia, so consult a urologist for an in-depth examination.
4. Consult a pulmonologist or an ENT specialist if you suspect that you have sleep apnea syndrome.

Please feel free to share any thoughts you have about nighttime urination.

Comments by a reader: One of the reasons for frequent urination is a possible stricture ( narrowing down) in the urinary passage through the ureter. This could be due to some obstruction like growth or pressure from an enlarged Prostate or any other reason to be established. Urologist is the best person to diagnose this through multiple tests to map the bladder dynamics like pumping into the bladder to fill it at a measured rate and measuring the outflow/emptying of the bladder. Tests like MCU with an X-ray opaque dye help in observing the urinary passage condition. Further confirmation is possible through inserting an endoscope in the urinary passage and actually viewing it(Cystoscopy). Diagnosing a hyper active bladder function is a little complicated but must be attended to at the earliest in order to prevent more serious problems.
