Has India Really Been Rendered Free of Polio?

According to famous Scientific Advisor Sam Pitroda, the battle which ex-prime minister Rajiv Gandhi started to eradicate Polio, took 25 years to get completed (Reference Dainik Jagran Haldwani Dated 26.03.2014). In January 2014, the eradication of Polio from India featured as the main news in almost all of the national dailies. Then nobody among them had the inkling that the Polio virus or Polio paralysis that had been eradicated from the country, had its percentage merely 0.1 to 2 percent (see page 554 Text Book of Microbiology By Surinder Singh Jaypee Publication). About the rest i.e. non-viral polio was never mentioned in detail at any time or place by any medical scientist or researcher (except the writer of this article). Dr. Gopal Kabra however briefly described this in his “From A Doctor’s Diary”column titled as “One Injection And A Matter Of One Life.” (Amar Ujala Dated 22.5.2011 issue). Similarly Dr. M. Walia of Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi in the “Understanding Polio” column featuring his interview conducted by Aditi Tandon (in The Tribune 25 October 2011 issue), favored not administering injection to small children for polio eradication if they happen to suffer from fever at that time. This maybe be due to all kinds of paralysis whether resulting from a virus, administering medicine into the hip(s) muscles through a needle, injury related, resulting from a fall or due to certain diseases of the mind; the cause of all these has been surmised as polio virus and right from the beginning the focus has been only on the eradication of this virus. World Health Organization too with the help of different health agencies made efforts to eradicate the virus and these are continuing even today. 

Polio or poliomyelitis is an enterovirus. Like many other viruses, it has its own way of operating. Polio actually means gray. This word has been taken from the gray matter of the nervous system. Till now it has been believed that polio virus is found in the stool of a patient afflicted with polio. Whenever the virus gets an opportunity, it travels from the mouth and reaches the stomach mostly in the small aged children (less than 5 years). Then through the intestines, it circulates through the blood and reaches the brain. Here it gets settled in the anterior motor horn cells of the spinal cord and damages them. From anterior motor horn cells, axons originate and control the functions of voluntary muscles (contraction and relaxation) of the hands, legs and some other parts of the human body. The nerve cells after being damaged by the virus, lose their control on the voluntary muscles. As a result the muscles get paralyzed. This is also called acute flaccid paralysis. Generally people refer to this as polio. Due to inactivity of the flaccid muscles, after some time these muscles slowly get emaciated and become small in size. This leads to thinning of the affected organs (which is mostly the hand(s) and leg(s)). In spite of this, all the sensations except motor functions remain intact in the affected organs.

In this matter, the most surprising thing is that till date none of the virologist or pathologist has mentioned anywhere how virus actually damages motor nerves in his/her article/research paper appearing in the newspapers, journals or books. This means that the pathogenesis and pathology involved in the polio affliction has not been rightly described ever since. Whatever we get to read in this context is merely based on conjecture.

During any month of 2013, I was ordained by my present institution Chandola Homoeopathic Medical College and Hospital to participate in a meeting called by the district collector of district Udham Singh Nagar, Rudrapur regarding the successful management of Pulse Polio Program. In this meeting, representatives of all the colleges and schools of the district along with the employees and officials of health and medical department also took part. The data related to polio infection in the whole world collected by Dr. M Khanna, Surveillance Health Officer of World Health Organization, Kumaon Region of Uttarakhand State was shown in the form of a documentary on the screen. After that Dr. Pankaj Pandey the District Magistrate gave who was the chairman of the meeting, gave the necessary instructions for the successful management of the Pulse Polio Program. The writer after obtaining permission of the chairman then brought the people’s attention to the news item dated 12 February 2013 titled “Two Year Old With Polio Symptoms” published in the Hindustan a hindi language newspaper. It mentioned that in the past year 2012, 137 acute flaccid paralysis cases were found and none of them was positive for polio virus. The moment this writer brought the chairman’s attention to this particular news item, the concerned official replied that this news erroneously got leaked to the press. This surprised me a lot and like the famous English saying “The cat came out of the bag” revealed the truth about polio eradication in India to all. Meanwhile the meeting was called off. After that Dr. Khanna took me to his office which was located within the same premises at some distance. There we had a detailed discussion on polio. On the subject of polio eradication with the help of my long experience and deep study of 40 years , I wrote two articles; one in English titled “Polio or Traumatic Paralysis Eradication by 2000 A.D. (Now 2010 A.D.)” and the other one in Hindi titled “Akhir Kab Tak” (meaning Till When) which I gave to Dr. Khanna for reading. He just had a quick look at them and kept their photocopies with him. 

Here I am feeling enormously happy and satisfied to mention that out of these articles, the one written in English that was then titled “How to eradicate non-viral Polio” was prepared by me during the start of 1995. I sent this article to some news bulletins/journals where it got published. I also sent it to World Health Organization (W.H.O.) through email. Two months before the end of 2000 A.D. with a changed title “Polio or Traumatic Paralysis Eradication by 2000 A.D.”, I sent this article to various state governments, journals as well as newspapers. But most of them overlooked it though some did evince keen interest in it. But like a true freedom fighter, I moved ahead unconcerned at the dangers lying in my way. During this time the Polio Eradication Program’s time limit which was again extended for 2010 A.D., had also ended. It is said one person cannot take on the high and mighty, but at least he can make efforts towards this. I also did the same. In view of the changed circumstances, I got this English article translated to Hindi titled “Akhir Kab Tak” ( meaning Till When) and then sent it through simple post to the Central Health and Family Welfare Minister, Mr. Ghulam Nabi Azad along with its  English version. I did this in January 2011. Though I did not get any acknowledgement from his side about receiving the article, but one main suggestion out of a few mentioned in the article was implemented. Its clear evidence is now not only being seen by me, but also by you as well as others. The suggestion goes like this:-

The Health and Family Welfare Ministry of Indian Government or may be The Director General of Health Services through its government order (G.O.) directly or through the chiefs of state health services, institutions restrained pediatricians from injecting medicine in the gluteal or brachial muscles of a small child and even if it is a must, to inject it in the femoral muscles. In this matter, the directives had not been turned into a government ordinance. Had it been so, it would have got due coverage in the newspapers and every common or important man, government and private medical practitioners would have quickly known about it.

The second thing that got missed here is that in case a physician, nurse or a compounder deliberately administers medicine through needle into the gluteal muscles and the small child gets afflicted with a flaccid paralysis due to this, he would be held guilty and punished for this act. At present there is no provision of such a punishment in India or may be all over the world which could have served as an effective deterrent. The Central Health and Family Welfare Ministry thought it prudent to forward the photocopies of my sent articles to Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy, New Delhi. From it, I got a letter which on one hand requested me to send data about polio and on the other hand mentioned to me that polio (all kinds of paralysis) is caused by virus alone. To describe this letter in detail here would be like diminishing the worth of this article.

Here in Rudrapur the district headquarters of Udham Singh Nagar Uttarakhand, a private pediatrician got a stool culture done of a 2 year old girl child who was suffering from dysentery in the summer months. He had administered medicine to the child through a needle in her femoral muscles. This fact was stated to me by the girl’s father when he brought the child to me as her dysentery did not improve. I felt very happy that the suggestion provided by me, was starting to get implemented even though late. I thanked God for granting wisdom to all.  

After the year 2013 ended, I called Dr. Khanna to enquire how many cases of acute flaccid paralysis in total, happened in the past year to which he replied 135. This meant that these were just 2 less than 137 cases that happened in 2012. After this, I met Dr. Khanna twice in the district collectorate first time in the context of an AIDS rally and the second time during the Pulse Polio Immunization Program as was held before. But on both these occasions, I did not feel it appropriate to discuss or raise questions on these two matters. 

On 20th June 2015, Dr. Khanna while performing his duty came to my college. Though he also used to come during the past years, I did not get an opportunity to interact with him then. This time it was a sheer coincidence that I was on duty in the outpatient department and Dr. Khanna came into the department and got seated on a chair in front of me. Soon we got engaged in a conversation and I sought information from him about the acute flaccid paralysis cases that happened in the Udham Singh District in the year 2014. To this, he replied that total 7 cases have come into light and in all of these cases quack medical practitioners were responsible. I felt elated on hearing his reply. I was so heartened that I also introduced Dr. Khanna to my other fellow physicians as well as the Principal. The interns too felt pleased at this success. According to Dr. Khanna he himself advocates to all physicians, nurses, compounders, private practitioners to administer medicine to small children through injectable needle only when it is absolutely important and that too in the femoral muscles. He said he also wrote to World Health Organization about this success. I also urged him to hold discussions with World Health Organization’s surveillance medical officials of other districts about it. This success provided this writer the energy and inspiration to write this article.

For informing the readers, it would be appropriate to mention here that whichever state of India passed the general order (G.O.) and fully got implemented the Central Health Department’s or chief officials’ directives aimed at its medical institutions, hospitals, primary health centres, etc., sooner or later the number of polio cases whether caused by a virus or the ones associated with a non-virus related paralysis would be reaching there towards zero. I strongly expect this to happen. Otherwise by merely making the small children swallow the polio vaccine drops any number of times, would bring no change in the status of acute flaccid paralysis. The 30th December 2014 Times of India issue that states during the year 2011 Uttar Pradesh’ Pilibhit district alone reported 318 cases of children afflicted with acute flaccid paralysis, 283 cases in 2012, 219 cases in 2013 and 164 cases reported in the first 48 weeks of the year 2014, is a clear evidence of this. These figures themselves make it clear that whether India has been really ridden free of polio or like earlier it is still trying to become free from it.

The current Orange carrot is probably caused by intersections in the Netherlands.

Healthy Breakfast

At night, our body uses more energy than we believe. Because while we slumber softly in the pillow, he has to maintain breathing, heart rate and metabolism. Also the brain performs great, while we indulge in sweet dreams: now is important in the long-term memory saved and unimportant deleted from the body's own hard drive. All this consumes power. But not going to eat of course, when we sleep.

The night is the most longest time throughout the day in which we are forced to fasting. No wonder that morning our battery will be charged, before we start into the day. Otherwise, comes also our metabolism not on tour, but continues on the back burner. And we are unfocused, less motivated and take longer to go up to the peak. Therefore, just before school or work, "Charging" is attached.

What is a healthy breakfast?

A full breakfast is varied and tasty at the same time. Mix according to your heart's content, what taste you and your family - and brings new strength: whole-grain bread or buns, alternative cereals, fresh fruit, milk, yogurt or cheese, tomato or cucumber, occasionally a slice lean ham or sausage. Pushing it ever more colorful you, the better.

But don't worry: You don't have every morning a giant buffet dish up. For most of the week also have neither the time nor the desire. You prepare as much as possible in the evening already, then it is morning faster. And put on a light breakfast. Because are better than one or two large and heavy eating several small meals a day.

Do not start with an empty stomach

Main thing is that you do not start with an empty stomach. Every third young person in world makes this mistake, according to a study of at USA of University with students between 11 and 15 years. Apparently behind the desire to stay slim. Because girls polled every second and every third boy felt too thick. When the 15-year-old, even every second renounced breakfast so the balance sheet.

This diet physicians such as Volker Schusdziarra strongly discourage weight loss agree by radical cures. Although it could save calories quite already at breakfast, so the Munich scientists at the Klinikum rechts der ISAR. Because his research showed that a rich morning meal anyway during the day normally is hungry and eats a total even more than after a small breakfast.

However, Schusdziarra warns therefore generally to refrain from breakfast. Rather, it is important that every man for himself decides whether he may or may not have the morning already lush breakfast. Who dispenses with a big breakfast, have the freedom to eat something more on the other day. Who takes morning many calories to, must save for that which at subsequent meals.

Bring your family to the taste

As a parent, you can not only inform, but also set an example by moving: who lives above his children that several small meals throughout the day distributed prevent cravings and help in keeping the figure convinced more easily than someone who stubbornly preaches nutrition rules.

Let's surprise your children with snacks that taste morning muffles and are quickly identified: hearty fruit kebabs with cherry tomatoes, cucumber slices and Mini Mozzarella or fruit skewers with Apple slices and grapes provide color at the breakfast table. If your children do not love great whole grain breads, perhaps small pumpernickel with ricotta and herbs make them more appetite. Or how about times to cut the occupied whole grain breads with cookie molds? The eye eats with finally.

If your children despite shortly after getting on have still no desire to eat, you do not force them. A glass of milk or a drinking yogurt go down easier and already suffice to raise the metabolism and activate the Grey cells. The sandwich may be for something more richly. And then: good start!

Healthy Diet Strengthens Immune System

A cold threatens not only in winter but in summer too. Just by getting widespread air conditioners in offices, cars and shops, a slight cold even in summer is no surprise. Sudden change from cool to hot air is to provide people of all ages - from children to seniors. Who wants to avoid runny nose, cough, sore throat and hoarseness, should increase its defenses and thus strengthen his immune system.

In addition to exercise, fresh air, or saunas helps a balanced diet for a cold, but also to strengthen the body's defences. Not only the eating of certain foods, but also an adequate fluid intake is for the strengthening of the defences of great importance.

At least two litres should every adult drink each day, and thus fundamentally strengthen the immune system. The best suitable mineral water or unsweetened tea. This way the danger of drying out mucous membranes will be banned. Attacks of germs can be repelled this even before they enter the body.

Vitamins help immune system

In addition, there are essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements, which provide for a healthy immune system. One follows the motto "Strengthen defenses", you should be sure to eat enough fruit and vegetables, as these foods are excellent suppliers of these nutrients.

Especially vitamins, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and vitamin D are essential for strengthening the immune system. They reduce the susceptibility to infections, where they intercept free radicals. In this way, the cells are protected. Good vitamin C suppliers are citrus fruits, Kiwis and green vegetables such as Kale or broccoli. Parsley also contains lots of vitamin C. vitamin E is mainly in vegetable oils. Oily fish provides important vitamin D.

Healthy eating important

In addition to the targeted consumption of vitamins it is advisable anyway, to eat a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables in winter as in summer. Raw food also helps to strengthen the immune system. The motto of "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" (an Apple a day keeps the doctor) can take it quite literally if you want specifically to strengthen his defenses or build a weakened immune system.

Just in terms of defences of the children are placed in important phases of their development, parents should feed that they balanced on. Because often it is not easy to explain that fruits and vegetables are important for the strengthening of the defences children. Recipes of original art can convince but also children that not only chips, jelly beans and Cola taste.

Zinc can strengthen defenses

In addition various trace elements are important for young and old. In particular zinc makes an important contribution, if it wants to strengthen its defenses. It stimulates the immune system, ensures the protection of the mucous membranes in the mouth and nose. These are important to not only enter the body to pathogens. About 15 milligrams of zinc per day are recommended. These are usually easily recorded with consumption of food.

Rich in zinc are especially foods such as seafood (especially: oysters, fish), but also dairy products, eggs, cereals contain large amounts of the trace element zinc. Basically, the body can better utilize zinc from animal foods. The amount of absorbed dietary zinc is not enough or the immune system is badly weakened, so can also consult with the doctor about dietary supplements or an immune treatment thinking how for example Kijimea.

Dietary supplements for chronic deficiency

Normally a healthy person can take all necessary substances through a balanced diet, so that an additional supply of vitamins or trace elements is not necessary. In certain situations, such as a chronic lack of certain nutrients, it is however advisable to speak with his doctor about the inclusion of so-called dietary supplements. These are foods which have the task of an already healthy diet to supplement that all vital substances are administered to the body.

Usually it involves concentrates nutrients (for example minerals or vitamins), taken in capsule or tablet form to. The Federal Institute for risk assessment indicates that dietary supplements have no side effects because it it not was drugs, but food.

Coffee Is Stimulating

Most Germans decide daily for their cup of coffee - we Germans drink at least 73 million cups a day. In each Cup, coffee stuck in 100 mg of caffeine. If we enjoy the hot drink in moderation, coffee has positive effects.

The coffee was in the 17th and 18th century slowly but surely in Europe. Initially, coffee was drunk, later increasingly also with other meals for breakfast. The popularity of coffee is based mainly on its stimulating effect. This effect of coffee can be essentially attributed to the contained caffeine and the chlorogenic acids.

Caffeine content in coffee

A coffee bean contains between 0.8% and 2.5% caffeine. The caffeine content in coffee is determined also by the duration of the contact of the water with a powder. The usual crowd – not more than four cups a day - is no health risk.Despite all the efforts has not succeeded yet until today, to make a complete record of all components of the coffee, because its chemical composition is extremely complex and depends on a variety of factors.

The stimulatory effect of the cycle is secured. Widen blood vessels, the heart rate increases and improves the circulation of all organs. Caffeine influenced also our respiratory center – breathing is accelerated and expanded the bronchial tubes. Caffeine is also a diuretic and leads to increased urination (diuretic effect). More generally, one can say – coffee stimulates the whole metabolism. In addition, it increases your calorie consumption, is not a problem for the character, but with zero calories.

Coffee is kicking

The coffee bean has an amazing effect on our gray cells: increases blood flow to the brain - and thus the concentration. Increase the speed of reaction and the receptiveness of the brain. Coffee is a "stimulant" – after a cup of coffee, we are again more attentive and more concentrated than previously. Coffee is so creative, intelligent and persistent, which however does not necessarily mean that he robs us sleep. So some of two cups is alive, in the late afternoon while other sleepy just a Cup.

The big advantage: A caffeine dependence in the sense of an addiction there is no. The stimulatory effect unfolds about 30 to 45 minutes after you drank him coffee. According to the latest studies, to achieve the best effect if you distributed to take the caffeine in small doses throughout the day instead of in a large bowl in the morning.

Who benefits from the coffee?

Coffee lifts the spirits, promotes the good mood and...

• Seniors benefit from better brain blood flow and fall asleep often with a nightly Cup better coffee.
• Caffeine acts Yes vasodilator, therefore it is used also pharmaceutical: against headache, asthma, congestive heart failure, morphine poisoning.
• Who like to drink coffee and worries about his cholesterol levels need to know that it does matter how to make the coffee. The consumption of filtered coffee will have no influence on the blood lipid levels. Substances in the body that affect the cholesterol value appears for unfiltered variants (E.g. espresso).
• Recent studies have shown that regular consumption of coffee reduces the risk of getting gallstones by 25 percent. Roasting substances act as so-called antioxidants in coffee. The chlorogenic acid in coffee may prevent possibly colon and liver cancer.
• Coffee can be a "digestive aid". A coffee or coffee after a meal stimulates the production of stomach acid and bile secretion - stomach and intestines come back in swing.
• It is known that caffeine can improve endurance performance during sport activities. The "watch making" effect and stimulation of respiration through the coffee ingredients are useful for athletes. If however the breakdown of fats leads to increased fat burning, is still unclear. Caffeinated drinks should be consumed prior to exercise, not suitable but as fluid replacement after sport.

Coffee: Impact unhealthy, if...

Caffeine has also negative effects, but only in higher doses. It comes then to tremor, palpitations, high blood pressure, may also to fear attacks. People who are very sensitive to the effects of caffeine, then suffer from sleep disorders, stomach problems or above mentioned symptoms. Other people in turn tolerated even large amounts of caffeine without any problems.

• Coffee is a "Säurelocker", that is, stimulates the production of gastric juice. So if you have a sensitive stomach or already is sick at the stomach, should restrict his coffee consumption to two cups a day.
• The nerve cells of the existing caffeine adapt with time. Is the coffee is suddenly completely set, headaches can adjust itself. But they subside again after a few days.
• Coffee should be enjoyed by nursing mothers or pregnant women only to a small degree. A cup of coffee per day during pregnancy does not harm the unborn but.
• People with osteoporosis should drink coffee with milk.
• If you have serious heart problems, should discuss about its coffee enjoyment with the doctor.

Aronia - The Chokeberry

The Aronia melanocurpa here is little known on land. She may be familiar to some few people under the name of chokeberry (or bald chokeberry). It is estimated they in Eastern Europe for several decades as a effective medicinal herb. Visually rather unobtrusive, one could confuse the Aroniabeere almost with the Blueberry - the berries of chokeberry plant having a healthier effect.

Aronia: Effect and Origin

Originally from Eastern North America, the Aronia plant came in the 19th century after Russia. Since the mid-20th century, it was used in the former Soviet Union, also for therapeutic purposes. So the Apple Berry not only work well for high blood pressure, including drugs against capillary toxicosis, suitable specific forms of gastritis and bleeding are obtained from the Aroniabeere.

Furthermore, the Aronia plant is used as a remedy for allergies, stomach, liver and gall diseases and teething, and shows a positive effect on the immune system, blood formation and regeneration of bone and muscle tissue.

Apple Berry protects against free radicals

The Aronia plant is a versatile remedy, because it is a dispenser of folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin K and flavonoid. Many diseases of our modern society caused by unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals. They influence the metabolism and cause oxidative stress, which can lead to serious complications. In addition, it accelerates the aging process.

The chokeberry is rich in phytochemicals, which impact all the contrary. Free radicals are bound by the high level of antioxidants. As free radicals can affect the emergence of cancer, regular consumption of Apple berries can be cancer-inhibiting. Also, the Aroniabeere is a remedy against damage caused by solar radiation and skin diseases - even at the radiation sickness the chokeberry is used. Thus, the Aronia has the potential to the new anti aging elixir of tomorrow.

Eco-conscious people can prevent even hardening of the arteries and nerve damage with the pleasure of Aronia. Sometimes, a positive influence on mental illness is said to the chokeberry.

Chokeberry or Aroniamarmelade?

The chokeberry however has a little flaw: Apple berries have a tart taste despite their relatively high sugar content, so many people of prefer chokeberry drink or Aronia jam on bread spread. This should not be exaggerated but also it. A glass of chokeberry, diluted with water (chokeberry pur has still a relatively bitter taste) daily is sufficient. Because stomach problems can occur with increased consumption.

Instead of water the chokeberry also with other fruit juices can be mix or through processing as lemonade. The Aroniabeere also for the processing of candy was used in the Soviet Union. As finished products of the chokeberry in Germany are rarely available, you can try yourself some Aronia recipes.

Blueberries Protect Against Obesity

Blueberries, tasty, refreshing and very healthy. Now, researchers have discovered that blueberries can (called also blueberries), slowing the formation of fat cells and protect against obesity. Moreover, its positive effect in excessively high cholesterol levels, they strengthen the immune system and protect against night blindness and macular degeneration. Why blueberries are an ideal diet.

The figure is determined by genes and nutrition

In research about the ingredients of blueberries, American researchers discovered that the fruit contains secondary metabolites (polyphenols). These have primarily an antioxidant effect and strengthen the immune system. Their research was the Medic Shiwani Mogle from Texas women BB´s University in animal studies firmly, that these polyphenols reduced the formation of new fat cells. At the same time increased the lipolysis, the existing fat cells are removed. The fat tissue that got the highest dose of bilberry extract was 73 per cent lower than that of untreated control tissues. This - so the researcher - makes great hope, to suppress the formation of adipose tissue in the body.

So far, the research knows that the amount of fat a person has, is already set in the childhood and the adolescence. The genetic dependence and nutrition play the largest role. Even if you are on a diet, the number of these tiny fat stores in the body remains the same — they're just not very well filled. Because these cells store fat, formerly fat people take to respawn following a diet, as slim. This is the problem of the most diets and leads to the dreaded Yo-Yo effect.

Blueberries for obesity

You can probably break this vicious circle through an increased allocation of blueberries and their active ingredients. This means high hopes especially for young people who have a tendency toward obesity.

But the scientists have even a bigger hope:

Build up throughout our lives and are replaced by new - so that their number does not fall off our fat cells, their total number remains constant. When is now this ratio reduction: formation through the Pholyphenole of Blueberry in favour of dismantling move because the regeneration is slowed down - then may decrease the number of fat cells in adult humans: losing weight would take place and it would be easier.

Knowledge of the Blueberry

100 g blueberries have 42 kcal and 84 g water. To get 5 g dietary fiber and about eight g fructose. Blueberries contain no cholesterol, rich in vitamin C, potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. Their plant pigments, the anthocyanins are particularly important for their natural healing properties. It has also many tannins.

The fresh berries stimulate digestion, while dried blueberries against diarrhea are good. Blueberries reduce cholesterol levels, without any side effects. Due to its tannins it can be used externally against skin inflammations. Their Proanthocyanidins to prevent bladder infections. Blueberries boost the immune system, protect against heart attack in cardiovascular problems. According to medical studies, it was recognized that they contain also a fabric lutein, which protects against night blindness and the macular degeneration.

What Is Health?

Health is Wealth. It is true because your body is good then everything is good and your body not healthy then you feeling bad. You’ll not find in this world a 1 person who would not want to be healthy. A perfectly healthy person feels great, both physically and mentally. So what health? This above all the absence of any disease, both physically and morally.

Health is quality of life. Is a quality life. This is an opportunity to sleep soundly at night, not to feel pain during walking, eat heartily, have a good memory and the ability to achieve what is important to you (and only you). Health - is the time spent with the family, this is a walk in the woods, its ability to be happy, don't be afraid of the future and to manage stress. Health - is respect for your body and happiness of what your body is working like a charm. Health - is the energy, striking a key, don't run out of optimism and zest for life.

Our body is designed in such a way that it tends to heal, and every minute is working to heal itself. Even without our interference. The only thing we still need to do - is to stop him in the way.

Fact: Many symptoms in fact the result of the fact that our body is trying to heal itself. For example, most people are chronically dehydrated. They don’t drink enough plain clean water. But the water is also one of the components of blood. When the body loses water, it tries to reduce moisture loss, much of which is lost during respiration. So, to keep this moisture, the bodies restrict the operation of the bronchus, and create histamines.

Histamines difficulty breathing, that is, it becomes physically difficult to breathe in and out. The modern (Western) medicine believes that these protective mechanisms is a disease (asthma), and treat it, instead, that simply remove the cause - dehydration. Rather than prescribe a person to drink more water (this would reduce the formation of histamine) doctors prescribe antihistamines that cause the bronchial tubes to relax and ease the passage of air. This leads to greater fluid loss and dehydration condition worse.

Pressure

Here's another good example - high pressure. Often the reason (one of the reasons) high blood pressure is too thick blood, which does not pass through small capillaries. To continue to ensure normal blood circulation, the heart has to work with a lot of stress. This increases the pressure. Again the pressure is not a disease symptom. The body is trying to push through the thick blood to where it doesn't pass. After all, if the access is limited to cells of the blood, these cells begin to die.

Healthy no blood thickens and flows freely. If a person is drinking enough water and eating foods rich in essential fatty acids (such as omega-3), the blood liquefies natural and pressure drops. Since it is easier to drink water through a straw, but not honey

"Asthma" as "high pressure" - it came up with the doctors of the disease. In other words, they don’t exist independently of themselves. It's just the symptoms that the body tries to bring its complex system into balance.

To again be able to heal, we must learn to listen to your body and understand what it wants from you and not to weaken its chemicals, mutilate or kill surgery toxic therapies, such as chemotherapy.

In general, keep in mind that your body wants to be healthy and to include with this much effort. "Symptoms" - this is just a cry for help, this solicitation of the body to help in the healing process. If you are careful, you will hear what your body is trying to tell you, but if not - will turn off the symptoms with painkillers, surgery or other types of destructive therapy.

The body is a wonderful creation of nature. As we built the most advanced Nano technology the immune system. Our nervous system complexity and coherence exceeds the most advanced computers in the world. Our reproductive system - it is a miracle play of life. Our internal organs and keep the memory of emotions, because those who were transplanted organs from donors and more memories and emotional experiences.

In short, we are a wonderful creation of nature. We have such a potential to heal itself, the only thing that can reduce this potential - is pharmaceutical products. All medicines based on chemistry - unnatural and off a process of self-healing of the body. Not surprisingly, after a toxic cocktail of healing magic disappears.

Give yourself a chance to recover

Try for a week to give up all allopathic (it does not have in mind the homeopathic) medicines, food additives, such as E, refined foods (products of white sugar, flour, and all that have not heated treated in your kitchen), do not use household chemistry (much can be replaced with baking soda), cosmetics, perfumery and not eating meat of animals that stuffed with hormones and antibiotics (and then brutally murdered.)

Perhaps, then, the healing power of your body will again be available to you ...

We have what we have absorbed

what to do?

• Drink vegetable juice. Every day. Especially good for the digestive tract affect fresh cabbage juice and celery (root or stem, that’s) is naturally increasing acidity to normal.
• Eat fresh, raw vegetables and fruit, and supply the body with digestive enzymes.
• Don’t eat dead food (refined or pasteurized). Such foods load the liver, pancreas and gall bladder, which need to produce more food enzymes, which would make up for their lack of a dead food.
• There are probiotics and encourage "good" bacteria in the stomach. Modern medicine has traditionally ignored the importance of good health to have a normal intestinal micro-flora. This micro-flora or "good bacteria" converts some nutrients in the other, those that are easily digestible. One should stay away from antibiotics, clean sweeps the "good" bacteria. Probiotics found in yogurt (almost not found in yogurt), the sauerkraut, salted cucumbers. Preservatives, in particular E 234, E 211, E 270, E 220-228, which are sometimes added to dairy products, probiotics kill.
• Stop to eat sweets. The more sugar we eat, the more we cultivate the "bad" bacteria that feed on them (fungal, etc.). In fact, eating sweets, we lure molds from which are then very difficult to get rid of.
