Food additives are chemicals that are added to industrial packaged foods to preserve its taste, texture, color, smell or to extend its shelf life. While the food additives achieve these goals, they inadvertently and inevitably cause a lot of damage to our health. This is because the food industry's interests lie in making profits, not in health of the public. Some researchers have linked these food additives to chronic diseases like diabetes, obesity, hyper activity and attention deficits in children, various autoimmune diseases (and other immunity related disorders) and cancer. Today more than 10,000 chemicals make their way into our foods- many without any FDA scrutiny. More than 10k chemicals are in our foods.  In fact the Center for Food Safety had sued the FDA in 2014 for its "unlawful action of exempting substances that are 'generally recognized as safe' ( GRAS ) from regulations as food additives under a proposed rule for more than 15 years." The FDA liter...

Background:  Ms.Lori Matheson  filed a case in the court of law to prevent her ex husband Michael Schmidt from vaccinating her 10 year old daughter Faith against her religious beliefs. Michael Schmidt brought in Dr. Stanley Plotkin (aka Godfather of Vaccines ) as an expert witness. Ms. Matheson's Lawyer Aaron Siri destroyed Dr. Plotkin in a 9 hour long grilling so much so that the next day Dr. Plotkin refused to be an expert witness . Schmidt's legal team took back Dr. Plotkin's deposition so that it could not be used in favor of Ms. Matheson . And final outcome was that the mother was ordered to vaccinate her child according to CDC 'recommendations.' The brave mother lost the case but this case shed the light on the corrupt, Godless, cold blooded and horrific so called 'scientists' and 'scientific community'  of our times. This case uncovers the various conflicts of interests the doctors and scientists are involved in these days and also reveals ...

BCG vaccines are live vaccines derived from a strain of Mycobacterium bovis that was attenuated by Calmette and Guérin at the Pasteur Institute in Lille, France. BCG was first administered to humans in 1921. Every child born in the "third word" country (India, Africa, Burma, Nepal- Basically all poor nations) get vaccinated with BCG soon after birth. Did you ever think "Is it really needed?" "How does this vaccine work?" "Are the claims made by the government and the vaccine makers really true?" "Are there any side effects on the child in long term?" "What is the history of this vaccine story?" No. We never think so much. We just get our children get vaccinated like all "good parents" around us do. Its always good to follow the herd, Isn't it? you will never ask those questions for yourself until and unless its too late and your child starts getting autoimmune disorders and sometimes the effect may be se...

Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of approximately 1 whereas in Western diets the ratio is 15/1-16.7/1. Western diets are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, and have excessive amounts of omega-6 fatty acids compared with the diet on which human beings evolved and their genetic patterns were established. Excessive amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and a very high omega-6/omega-3 ratio, as is found in today's Western diets, promote the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, whereas increased levels of omega-3 PUFA (a low omega-6/omega-3 ratio) exert suppressive effects. In the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, a ratio of 4/1 was associated with a 70% decrease in total mortality. A ratio of 2.5/1 reduced rectal cell proliferation in patients with colorectal cancer, wherea...

I have been asked by friends to do an article about Hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism means thyroid gland which is under functioning and therefore deficiency of Thyroid hormone is seen with resultant increased TSH. Here I am posting all the important information that I can get on this topic. Allopathic view of the reasons for thyroid disorders is "idiopathic" meaning- don't know. So lets look at what a naturopath or holopathic practitioner has to say about hypothyroidism. The causes of Thyroid disorder or of any endocrine disorder for that matter can vary over a wide range of issues. These can include: Imbalances of blood-sugar levels affecting energy metabolism.  Digestive disturbances, e.g., deficiency of enzymes, causing abdominal bloating and undigested food molecules leaking through the gut wall to trigger an inappropriate immune system response.  Imbalance of the detoxification functions of the liver resulting in an increase of toxic compounds which may irritat...

Oatmeal baths . There are commercial oatmeal bath additions available, but you can save money by trying one of these preparations. Wrap 2 cups of oatmeal in cheesecloth or nylon stocking and suspend under the bath tap, allowing the water to extract the active elements and sparing you from bathing amidst floating oatmeal flakes. You can also whirl oatmeal in a blender or food processor until it's a fine powder. Just dissolve the oatmeal dust in bathwater. Colloidal oatmeal won't sink to the bottom of the tub -- it remains suspended in your bathwater, which maximizes exposure to your skin. When preparing an oatmeal bath, use tepid water -- particularly if you're taking an oatmeal bath as a treatment for poison ivy, allergic reactions, dry skin or chickenpox. Water that's too hot can draw moisture from your skin or aggravate already inflamed skin. Add the colloidal oatmeal as water flows from the faucet to ensure it mixes completely. Soak for 10 minutes or howev...

Here I am providing details of Ayurvedic Hospitals/Clinics that I have known for few years. I have seen some very amazing results among some of the patients I have referred to these Clinics.   1. Karuna Foundation, Ottapalam, Kerala . Ottapalam is a small town near Palakkad Junction, Kerala. The consultant there, Swami Nirmalanandagiri, whom I have met a few times, has a deep knowledge in disease parthenogenesis and clinical details. I was astonished when he biochemically explained me how the white flour (maida) gets stuck in the body and how the body does not know how to deal with it. I have personally seen an Autism child treated there. I have seen a terminal Colon cancer patient who was totally cured. I have seen a SLE patient with Renal failure who got totally well within one month of treatment (by the way this patient was my relative and had spent a month in ICU of NIMHANS and St. John's Banglore, but did not respond a bit).        ...
