Neem leaves cures skin problems!

Hi,

recently I read an article about the ' wonder neem leaves' which cure skin problems. I was troubled constantly by some fungal infection in my foot, which wouldn't go at all, keep shifting from one foot to the other/ one place to another. Then, thought why not try ' wonder but bitter leaves of neem', the fungal infection did disappear from my foot. One has to soak some neem leaves, after washing it well in water for 3 hours, drain & grind it in a mixie without adding water if possible. store it in the frige, take about 1 teaspoonful each morning on empty stomach. It is bitter, I just gulp it down with a glass of water. For small kids, you may add some sugar/ jaggery to the mixture & give. It is supposed to cleanse our blood. Anyway, I'm sure it will not have any side effect of an anti-biotic!

Prostate cancer could be linked to exposure to estrogen like chemicals in the womb

Scientists & health experts have theorized for more than a decade that chemicals in the environment & consumer products mimic estrogens & may be contributing to male & female reproductive diseases, particularly prostate cancer. Prostate cancer, which usually strikes men over 50, may develop when BPA & other estrogen-like, man-made chemicals pass through a pregnant woman’s womb & alter the genes of a growing prostate in the fetus. This exposure to the chemical may provide a fetal basis for the adult disease.

The prostate gland. Which develops in human males while they are fetuses, is extremely sensitive to natural estrogen. As a result, scientists have long theorized that prostate cancer could be increasing in men because of their exposure to estrogen-like chemicals in the womb. Unlike carcinogenic chemicals that can cause profound damage to DNA & trigger cancer, BPA seems to inflict subtle changes that are passed from one generation to the next.
Polycarbonate, which cannot be manufactured, without BPA, is a light-weight, hard, clear, shatter-free plastic often used to replace glass. In addition to beverage bottles, baby bottles, utensils & other food packaging, it is used in automobiles, medical equipment, compact discs & electronics. Small amounts of the chemical can leach from plastic containers, especially when heated, cleaned with harsh detergents or exposed to acidic foods it drinks. It is also used in children’s dental sealants & as a resin lining metal food cans.

So, think twice before using plastics for heating food items, I’ld say.

Apple a day keeps the Doctor away!!!

Yes it is true. Flavonoid rich apples inhibit the kinds of cellular activity that leads to the development of chronic diseases. It was known for a long time that flavonoids in fruits are protecting the body. Apple extract are able to protect cells from damage & death by interfering with communication cells. Flavonoids found in chocolate, green tea & fruits & vegetables behave as anti-oxidants, taking up free oxygen radicals that can damage precious DNA. The flavonoids in apples & apple juice can inhibit signals in that pathway that would otherwise damage or kill cells in the body.

Cruciferous Vegetables seem to be the answer to fight colon cancer !

A recent study asks people to eat vegetables to inhibit the occurrence of hereditary colon cancer. Vegetables like- broccoli & cauliflower, in particular have natural ingredients that may reduce the risk of developing hereditary cancers. These cruciferous vegetables are abundant in sulforaphane (SFN) , a compound, which had been previously been shown to inhibit some cancers in rodents induced by carcinogens. SFN has chemo preventive activity.
The American Cancer Society estimated that more than 2/3 of cancer may be prevented through lifestyle modification & diet alone.
