Now, cancer control is within reach.
Argon gas is injected into the tumor that will cause the temperature inside to drop to 160 degrees below zero. This freezes the tumor in a short period of time. Helium liquid is then injected to heat the tumor resulting in the death of tumor cells.
A patient named Mr. Zhang had an advanced stage cancer in a part of his body that is very hard to reach using traditional treatment methods. His family pleaded with the doctors to help find a treatment for him. After several co-operation between the group of specialists looking after him, they decided to use a special kind of treatment.
CT guidance is used to locate the tumor and guide the penetration of the catheter containing the needle. By injecting argon to freeze the tumor and then helium to heat it, the therapy causes cancer cells to burst, turning the tumor's state from solid to liquid. This therapy is derived from very advanced aerospace technology from the United States.
Guangzhou Modern Cancer Hospital Professor Peng Xiaochi said that, a suddern burst after the death of the tumor cells will gradually be absorbed by the blood forming tumor cell antigens that can stumulate the body's immune system to produce new immunity cells, boosting the patient's ability to combat the disease.
After more than a week of urgent observation there was an atmosphere of joy among the doctors. The cancer cells were not only completely eliminated, there was also no sign of recurrence.

TAI CHI improves mental health
British and South Korean researchers said that among the elderly, practicing Tai chi helped sense of balance and boosted psychological wellbeing. The evidence was contradictory as to whether tai chi improved high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, muscle strength, osteoporosis and other condition.
Tai chi entails regular practice of deep breathing and relaxation techniques, combined with slow and gentle movements. It is based on tenets in Confucian and Buddhist philosophies that there are two opposing life forces, yin and yang, which governs health. Bad health results from an imbalance in these forces, but it can be corrected by Tai Chi, according to these beliefs.

Finding PEACE within
It's true indeed, that some of us, don't count our blessing. Instead we find ourselves always complaining and whining. We compare ourselves with our neighbors in terms of earthly possessions, or we find ourselves indulging in self-pity. Or we find ourselves regretting on the good deeds that we have done, especially if the people whom we shared our love and kindness do not repay us or don't have sense of gratitude. These kind of emotional interplay in our being for sure would rob us of inner peace and happiness. Writer Mashilo Thomas wrote a beautiful and profound article which says:
Let go of those who don't care about you
Let go of those who are jealous of you,
All of those who are pretentious and malicious, let go,
Let go of those who betrayed you and hurt you for they are not worth of your love
Those who gossip about you, just let them go,
Let go of those who are utilizing you for their own interest,
what matters most is that you have helped them,
Let go of those who don't cherish you,
Let go of all the stresses and devastation
Let go of all insults and underestimation,
Let go of all your encounters who have treated you shabbily,
for they are not worth remembering,
Let go of those pains and bitterness that you have experienced in your life,
If you keep on dwelling with it, you'll be the losser,
Let go of those who have cheated you, for a time will come that all the things they
did to you will boomerang to them for life has its own karma,
Let go of all your grievances and entrust everything to the Lord.
Remember God loves you and you are a child of the universe.
Be still and have peace within.

COFFEE cuts risk of prostate cancer
Men who drank 6 or more cups per day had a 60% lower risk of developing the most lethal type of prostate cancer and a 20% lower risk of forming any type of prostate cancer compared to men who did not drink coffee, studies showed. Even just one to three cups per day was linked to a 30% lower risk of developing lethal prostate cancer.
The effects were the same whether the coffee was caffeinated or decaffeinated, leading researchers to believe the lower risk could be linked to the anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of coffee.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed form of cancer in US men, but it is not always deadly. A blood test can detect it early, and the cancer can be graded on what is known as a Gleason score; the higher the score the more likely the cancer is spread. There are 16 million survivors of prostate cancer worldwide, and one in six men in the United States will get prostate cancer during their lifetime.
Risk factors are typically linked to Western high-fat diets, heredity, alcohol and exposure to chemicals. The lower risk seen in coffee drinkers remained even after researchers allowed for other factors that typically boost risk and were more often seen in coffee drinkers than in abstainers, such as smoking and failure to exercise.

Benefits of Vitamin D
Doctors said Vitamin D reduces activation of the rennin-anglo-tension system, there by lowering blood pressure. It also reduces insulin release for pancreatic beta cells and raises insulin sensitivity. Low Vitamin D levels produce opposite effects, activating renin-anglo tension to raise blood pressure boosting insulin release, and lowering insulin sensitivity.
Low Vitamin D levels in blood are usually caused by lack of adequate sun exposure and poor diet. Another factor is obesity. Vitamin D is fat soluble, which means it tends to leave the blood and accumulate in fat.
Low dietary levels of Vitamin D were linked to elevated percent body fat and visceral adipose tissue among teens.
Be aware, over the past few decades, there has been a decrease in Vitamin D fortified milk intake among children and adolescents. Generally, most adults don't drink milk regularly.

Controlling our THOUGHTS . . .
The mind is always restless and goes where ever the attention is. Control your attention and you can control your mind. Writer Sri Chinmoy declares, "Thoughts have power. If we allow negative thoughts to dominate our mind, we will be frustrated, unhappy and it will rob us of inner peace. If we can stop negative thoughts, we will be able to see the beautiful side of life even in this mundane world. We will be able to attain inner peace. The more focused we are on our negative thoughts, the more they become powerful. To stop endless cycles of thoughts, he cites the following tips to control our mind:
Make a conscious decision to stop the thoughts. Be aware of their negative impact in your being and don't allow them to bother you. Do something to detach yourself from the negative thoughts or switch your thoughts to some wonderful and happy events in your life.
Look upon the thoughts as being outside of yourself. When thoughts appear in your mind, look upon the thoughts and tell yourself that you should not allow yourself to be a victim and be abused by this thought. Be more powerful than your thoughts. Remember that the mind is a great manipulator and a tricky one at that.
It is said that an idle mind is a workshop of the devil, so get busy. Do something that would interest you or find a hobby that makes you happy.
Meditate. Meditation is the best way to learn how to control your thoughts. In meditation, we not only control our thoughts, but we also can bring to the fore our inner qualities of peace and oneness.

YOGA as treatment for HIV/AIDS
The HIV problem is overwhelming and challenging. And when we try to see how to make positive changes, we focus only on the little we can do, in small steps, towards addressing the issue.

BODY ODOR treatment
Human beings actually produce 2 kinds of sweat:
eccrine - a clear odorless sweat that appears all over our bodies performing the vital
role of regulating body temperature.
apocrine - a thicker substance that is produced by glands in the under arm and groin
areas. It too is odorless until bacteria on the skin's surface act upon it.
The by-product of this unholy union is what we call body odor or BO.
The intensity of some body odor may lead people to think that they have a serious medical problem, when in most cases they are merely the victims of bad genes or inadequate hygiene, experts said.
Most BO sufferers were simply born with larger, more active apocrine glands or they are not doing as good a job as they should keeping the odor producing bacteria off their skin. Gastro intestinal abnormalities can give the skin a very unusual smell. Diabetics and people with urinary infections will sometimes develop a sweat-smelling or fruity body odor. Diseases of the past like Vit C deficiency scurvy and typhoid fever, were associated with strange smells.
Be aware, the secret of combating most body odors is to inhibit the body's production of apocrine sweat decrease the number of bacteria acting upon that sweat or remove the offender. Still another, baking soda "sodium bicarbonate", kills the odor-causing bacteria and absorbs moisture.
An old folk remedy is- tomato juice. It works 100%. Just pour 2 cups in with your bath water and sit for 15 minutes.

GOOD KARMA ends fear
Denese Lawrence said:" Even natural calamities are brought about by human karma against nature. We are all affected and we are all responsible.
Activist have sounded the alarm: Nature will eventually react to all the abuses she has sustained from wanton human disrespect. Now we see the beginning of what is described in Indian mythology as "TANDAY" - the dance of destruction.
The most urgent need is for human beings to transform attitudes of arrogance and carelessness and become more responsible in relationships with one another and with nature. Start consciously generating only good karma and truly get to know God - study his teachings and set aside all the crude assumptions that have created the catastrophes that the world forces today.
BE aware, the smallest steps count to end all fear.

FORGIVENESS means letting go, moving on . . .
Forgiving the person who have hurt us is the key to inner peace. If we forgive, we can sleep soundly. In our waking moment, our mind is not preoccupied with the person who have hurt us. It is like freeing ourselves from the bondage of hate and anger. Lewis B. Smeder declares: "to forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you".
Writer Allan Kelley believes that forgiveness is not only important to the person whom you forgive, but also to your own mental and physical well-being. Holding a grudge takes a toll on the person's happiness and can cause deep feelings of remorse and sadness. For the sake of our well-being, we have to let go of our resentment and anger through forgiveness. The following are some reminders shared by an unknown writer
- Realize that the hate you feel toward your enemy does not harm him/her in any way.
- Understand that the best revenge against your enemy is to live happily & successfully
- Realize that the second best revenge is to turn the evil into something good.
- To forgive means literally to untie. The fastest way to free yourself from an enemy and all associated negativity is to forgive. Untie the bindings and loosen yourself from the person's ugliness. Your forgiveness enables you to start walking away from him/her. Forgiveness is for you not for him/her.
- Be compassionate with yourself. Forgive yourself of whatever mistake you have done
BE aware, to forgive is to let go, then m-o-v-e on. You can never move on until you let go of the mistakes done to you through forgiveness.
