The Wonder Rice

        Wonder rice is emerging as a top health food. Studies have shown that wonder rice can improve cognitive function and can also act as an anti-diabetic. What is wonder rice? It is pre-germinated rice, whereby brown (unpolished) rice is soaked in warm water before it is cooked. The warm water induces germination (sprouting) which stimulates rice enzymes to produce more nutrients. One such nutrient is the neuro chemical GABA (Gamma Amino Butyric Acid). Hence the wonder rice is also known as GABA rice.
     Robert Yu and his colleagues at the Institute of Molecular Medicine and Genetics, Medical College of Georgia, Augusta, using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance approaches, identified the bioactive compounds, known as ASGs in the germinated rice. The ASGs were concentrated in the rice bran and not in the seed. That’s the reason white (polished) rice does not have the same healthful benefits as brown rice.
     The researchers also found that the ASGs found in rice are unique in its anti-diabetic effect. Though ASGs are found in soybeans also, soybean derived ASGs had no effect on the diabetic enzymes.
     How to prepare wonder rice? Take a cup of unpolished brown rice and rinse it clean. Soak it in clean water overnight. Rinse it well and cover it in a clean wet dishtowel. After 24 to 48 hours sprouts will appear. Now the rice is ready to cook. Cook the same way you cook normal rice. Only thing it needs less time and less water, as the rice is soft. If you love raw food, you can eat the sprouted rice without cooking.

Zappers destroy parasites

     Infectious diseases are becoming more common, more lethal and more widespread. At the same time, disease-causing bacteria are becoming more and more resistant to antibiotics. It’s a challenge for any medical professional to treat infectious diseases with antibiotics, without causing any side effects.
     A natural therapy is the use of bioelectrical stimulation in combination with herbal supplements. It is believed that invading organisms can be destroyed by being exposed to an electronic field at a frequency taken from its own bio-radiation bandwidth.
     Bioelectrical stimulation is known as zapping and devices that generate the required electrical frequencies are called zappers. Zappers can electrocute parasitic organisms without adversely affecting humans because humans are not harmed by such a low voltage (9 volts).
    Dr. Robert Thiel, Director of Research, Doctors’ Research conducted a study on the efficacy of zappers. Out of 143 patients who participated in the study, 140 patients reported improvement within 45 days. Improvement was reported from conditions such as bloating, diarrhoea, constipation, flatulence, fatigue, lethargy, skin rashes, indigestion abdominal pain etc.
     Zappers delivering 10Hz to 500,000Hz frequency for a duration of 7 to 10 minutes with a sufficient voltage of 5 to 10 volts are capable of destroying disease-causing bacteria, viruses and parasites. Zappers must not be used with pregnant women and people wearing pace makers.

Natural Fertility Programme

     Environmental pollution, poor nutrient levels in soils and foods, toxic farming methods, chemical radiation, heavy metal exposure, weight problems, overuse of sugar, caffeine & alcohol and the stress of modern living – all contribute to poorer reproduction health.
     Natural Fertility Progamme aims at improving sperm count and quality, in addition to optimizing egg development. It is effective both as a supplement to fertility treatment as well as a stand alone treatment against infertility. It improves the likelihood of conception for those who are having trouble conceiving and helps those who are looking for ways to have healthier babies.
     Natural Fertility Programme includes detoxification, herbal medicine, dietary changes, lifestyle modification, menstrual-cycle charting, abstinence-practice, cognition-control, yogic exercises for the reproductive glands etc.
     Research has shown that these types of programmes offer additional health benefits such as decreased miscarriage rate, right birth-weight babies, healthier babies etc. These programmes also help in reducing labour pains, decreasing nausea, lowering blood pressure, preventing constipation, maintaining bladder control, reducing swelling, facilitating natural delivery etc.

Holy Basil holds the secret to anti-ageing

        Holy Basil can delay the ageing process, according to research presented at the British Pharmaceutical Conference.
     Basil has long been used in Ayurvedic medicinal preparations for improving mental performance and physical health. In other Asian countries, it is used as a rejuvenation medicine. In the west, it is used in cooking.
     In India, holy basil (tulsi) leaves are eaten as a remedy for a wide variety of respiratory disorders such as cold, cough, hay fever, sore throat, bronchitis, asthma etc. Fresh juice made from holy basil leaves is applied over insect bites and on skin infections.
     Dr.Vaibhav Shinde and his colleagues, who conducted the first formal study of the herb, found that holy basil extract was effective in actively searching and eliminating harmful free radicals in the vital organs such as heart, liver and brain and protecting them from damage caused by free radicals.
     “The study validates the traditional use of herb as a youth-promoting substance in the Ayurvedic system of medicine. It also helps describe how the herb acts at a cellular level,” said Dr. Shinde.

Pine bark reduces menstrual pain significantly

    Dysmenorrhoea (painful periods) is a condition affecting millions of women each year. It is the leading cause of recurrent short-term school absence in adolescent girls and a common problem in women of reproductive age.
     A double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study conducted at 4 Japanese hospitals (Hamamatsu University Hospital, Kanazawa University Hospital, Keiju Medical Centre and Sugiura Clinic) on women aged 18 to 48, suffering from menstrual pain, found that pine bark extract from the French maritime pine tree (Pycnogenol®) reduces menstrual pain significantly.
     “Dysmenorrhoeal (menstrual) pain is thought to be caused by elevated levels of inflammation and characterized by menstrual cramping pain, which may reach incapaciating severity. Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) like aspirin or ibuprofen provide temporary help against menstrual pain. Unfortunately they are generally ineffective for resolving spasmodic events and commonly cause side effects, particularly gastric problems,” said Dr. Nobutaka Suzuki, the lead researcher of the study.
     Results showed treatment with Pycnogenol® reduced pain during menstruation, which was reflected by a significant reduction of NSAID (Non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs) used. The number of painful days due to dysmenorrhoea decreased from an average of 2.1 days prior to treatment to 1.3 days after the treatment. Discontinuation of Pycnogenol® did not result in any increase in pain medication use.

Cell phone and brain cancer

     Swedish researchers Dr.Lennart Hardell and his colleagues from Orebro University found that long term cell phone use doubled the risk of malignant brain tumours (brain cancer) and acousitic neromas (hearing nerve cancer). Dr. Lennart said that young people under twenty, were five times more likely to develop brain cancer from cell phone use.
     Dr. David Carpenter, Director of Institute for Health and Environment, University of Albany said that various studies have shown links between long term cell phone use and brain cancer.
     Dr. Ronald Heberman, Director of he University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute said that he could not confirm that cell phones were dangerous but at the same time, he could not also assure that cell phones were safe. He had sent a memo to all the staff at his faculty urging them to limit their cell phone use and to limit their children’s cell phone use especially. He says it is better to err on the safe side, rather than wait for a definitive proof.
     Both Dr. Carpenter and Dr. Heberman agreed that if there is a risk, then it is greater for children than for adults. They explained that the electromagnetic radiation from cell phones is able to penetrate much farther into the brain of a child compared to that of an adult.
     It is interesting to recall that before the link between smoking and lung cancer was established the tobacco industry vehemently denied that smoking could lead to lung cancer. “Are we at the same place we were with smoking and lung cancer 30 years ago?” suggested Dr. Carpenter.
     Absence of evidence does not amount to evidence of absence.

 Broccoli could reverse heart damage

          Eating broccoli could reverse the damage done to the heart’s blood vessels by diabetes, according to a new research by the University of Warwick.
     Diabetics have a five times greater risk of developing heart disease because of damage to heart’s blood vessels, done by high levels of oxidative molecules that circulate in the bloodstream, which in turn is caused by high blood glucose.
     Prof. Paul Thornalley and his colleagues at the
University of Warwick found that broccoli contains a compound called sulforaphane which increased enzymes that protect the heart’s blood vessels and reduced the molecules that damage them.

     The study found that:

1.      Sulforaphane significantly reduced the oxidative molecules that damage the blood vessels.

2.      Sulforaphane reversed the increase in oxidative molecules by 73%.

3.      Sulforaphane doubled the production of antioxidants and detoxifying enzymes.

“The study suggests that compounds such as sulforaphane from broccoli may help counter processes linked to the development of vascular disease in diabetes,” said Thornalley.
