Skin itching and irritations

A   common ailment such as skin itching can be due to a number of factors. Usually it is interpreted as a microbial infection derived from a sick or infected person. Other doctors may preferentially   interpret it as a fungus infection. And the remedies applied may not work and the problem may persist to the annoyance of the sufferer.

Body heat

The skin itching could simply   be your bodies reaction to the irritation imposed by the excessive body heat generated within. Human bodies produce substantial amounts of heat due to numerous biochemical reactions that takes place within. The Liver is involved in some 200 and odd reactions that generate copious heat within the body. The heat generated inside the body has to be liberated mainly through skin mainly in the form of perspiration. When perspiration is reduced the excessive body heat has irritating effects on the skin that may be expressed in the form of rashes, boils or simply intolerable itching. When the skin itching is due to excessive body heat you can realize the heat irradiation from the skin, soon after you itch the irritation part of the body.

Cool mind, cool body

Drinking copious amounts of water, fruit juices, cucumber, melons, butter milk, ice creams or tender coconut water may help you to alleviate the side effects of excessive body heat. Similarly a healthy dose of physical exercises, walking etc may also help in releasing the   body heat.

Basically you should realize that the excessive body heat is the result of a perturbed mind. You should learn to cool your mind by releasing the unwarranted stress accumulated in your body and mind. A cool mind is in charge of a cool body!

Averting Cancer

Our bodies have a natural defense mechanism which most of us can use for better and healthy living.Experts believe that dreaded diseases like cancer can be averted if we follow a path of moderate and healthy living.
Read the Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins (retrieved from an email):

"1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few
billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are
unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental,
food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,
gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not
result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence
the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer
cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.


WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like
NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses
but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and
substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than
beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline
environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach
down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try
and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at
temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.
Water - best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified
and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of
cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the
body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the
body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger,
unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax
and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular
level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.

Happy New Year

I liked an email from Nisarg Soni, which runs as follows:
Any day can be a Symbolic day to start afresh. So why not the New Year when the whole collective consciousness of the Universe works for you. When most human beings think that something nice is going to happen with them, then the collective consciousness is in rising upward direction. So all one has to do is ride this.

So here are two powerful techniques for a great year around:

1. Closing the past year: Before you open to the New Year one has to close the Past. Technically speaking the past does not exist except in the mind. But as it exists in Mind it can be playing havoc because your Future can be created with this Past. Generally events, which are negative, register more in human beings minds than the positive. So in the year gone by there may have been many incidents, which did not work in your favor. It could have been a loss in terms of money, time or effort, it can be relationship issues, it can be health, it can be loss of job, it can be loss in stock markets or the so many incidents that human beings have to face. These incidents have happened and are over but you may be still carrying the memories of pain, frustration or any other feeling in your mind. When such feelings exist you are fighting with yourself, life around and the situation. You also create a tendency unconsciously that you will keep attracting similar incidents in the Future that actually you don't want. The truth is: Whatever your inner mind keeps thinking will happen. To ensure that your Future is joyful then these memories have to be erased. Like in a black or white board, you erase what is written to write new and fresh.

This exercise is best done in the evenings or night where the energy is of "Closing". Take a notebook and review the complete year from the recent events to the past events especially those, which you have not been able to accept. It is better to take each incident separately. Keep writing your feelings of the events as it comes.
So from your mind you are getting the painful memories to the book.Please be honest with yourself. Write the feelings as it comes.Don't analyze or judge the feelings. Simply you are throwing the clutter from your mind out. As you write you might experience feelings of pain, grief, sadness etc. These are beautiful expressions so just allow it to flow out, do not control. Once you have written down the feelings of each incident, you will feel lightness as though you have got rid of a huge burden or block. It is important to remember that every incident that happens in our life is "good for us". Every incident is " Whole complete and perfect". Only one has to learn what is the incident is teaching to us. So pick up the learning to go ahead in life. For eg. You lost money in Business means that your awareness of Money and certain
aspects of Business should increase.

Once you have written down as many incidents as possible. Take the book, remove each page and meditatively burn it. Symbolically you are getting rid of such incidents from your life forever. You are disassociating with your own past thereby creating a future that can be fresh and new. As you burn each page just think that you are erasing this from your mind too. After this sit in silence for few minutes, then take a good fresh bath, and change to a new clothes.This is like saying to god or a greater power or to your own self,
Yes, Now I am now ready.

2 Opening Up to the New Year:

a) This Exercise is best done in the Mornings when the whole Energy of the Universe is Opening to the new possibilities.
b) Take a fresh bath, wear new clothes and be ready within the opening up for a bright new year ahead.
c) Sit in a clam and comfortable place that is clean and full of positive energy.
d) Light a lamp or candle symbolizing brightness and light in your life.
e) Light a good incense stick to spread the fragrance enhancing your mind.
f) You can keep a meditative music on as you do this exercise.
g) Take a small effort to create a beautiful space for doing this exercise so that you get best results all through the year.
h) Do anything like keeping gods photograph, or gurus photograph to enhance the space and your energy.
i) Be creative to create an uplifting atmosphere that is most essential.
j) We have done this exercise a number of times in our Money Workshops over these years with best surprising results. So this simple technique is fully proven and it works wonders.
k) Take a new pen or your lucky pen and a new notebook.
l) On the first page you can draw an "Om" or "Swastik" powerful symbols, which will create auspiciousness in your life.
m) Write the date 31 of December 2008, which is the end of the coming year.
n) Then write, "Thank you Universe, or Thank you God" for all beautiful events to unfold this year. It is great to "Thank" in advance thereby enforcing your faith.
o) Now you are going to write a letter to your dearest friend
or well wisher, so write Dear________ ___
p) The most important part of this exercise is to describe all your desires, events as though it has happened. Means you are writing this remember from 31st of December 2008. In the Present Moment you are choosing to create a whole new year.
q) Once you start writing just let go, do not think if it is possible not possible, keep looking at every aspect of life like material things, money flow, work or business, family and relationships, places you going to visit, sports or hobbies, new
learning, new ventures, marriage, love, children, health and whatever is meaningful to you. Just allow your desires to flow from your mind to the paper. Have powerful Intentions of looking at life from a grand perspective, getting into leading a life first class.
Think a little beyond and think Big. Keep on writing till your inner voice allows you to do it. You can take an hour, two hours or more.Get into the full joyfulness and positive feelings as though the events have taken place. Be relaxed and playful, like a child creating something beautiful.
r) Let me give a small example: As of now, you do not own yourcar but have a desire to buy one. So when you do this exercise you will write, now I have this wonderful Zen car, blue in colour (be specific) and I have toured so many wonderful places along with family and friends. Everyday I am enjoying the pleasure of going to
work in my own car……
s) Pour all your energy while writing your desires. Now you are "Opening Up" to the New Year the way you want.
t) Just keep this diary or notebook and watch through out the year whatever you wrote will happen in an amazingly perfect manner.Whenever this happens just have thankfulness and register that you created this event in your mind first and then it happened in reality.

Wishing a year full of joy, bliss, profits and a wonderful Money Flow for you and your family.

Come out of depression

Managing your mind is a difficult task especially when you are not aware of its activities. You have to periodically reassure yourself and guide your mind in certain cheerful and positive pathways so that it does not get into depressed state. Mind can callously go into depressed state as a reaction to or reflection of uneasy and unpleasant happenings around you.
Depression may be temporary of short duration that passes off unnoticed or may be nagging longer duration. Enduring depression may be your own creation as result of brooding over whatever sour thing that happened around you and deeply affected you. Prolonged depression decreases your energy level and reduces your potential to achieve optimum results.
First you have to realize that you are depressed and recognize the necessity to save yourself by coming out of it. If you simply sympathizes with your self apologetically, or silently suffer or masochistically enjoy your depression, it is more likely you would not come out it easily. You may lead yourself to further unpleasant complications.
Next step would be to change your routine style of functioning for sometimes at least so that you shall forget the images that bruises your mind and thereby get rid of depression. Change of place or environment may helpful in many cases. Or change the usual style of attending to your work or alter the timings for a few days till you invigorate yourself. Mix up with pleasant and selfless friends. Try to enjoy some harmless jokes with your friends.
Volunteer yourself for some selfless social service activities and engage in it wholeheartedly.
Try to be like an innocent child that enjoys pondering over various small and minor things. Possibly because of your own depression you have forgotten to see around yourself or totally oblivious of the beauty and charm of the nature around you. Take pleasure in observing minor aspects of nature intently and unassumingly like a small child. Bathe in the healing powers of the fresh air, the greenery, the expansiveness, the warmth and the pleasantness the nature bestows upon you.
