BEWARE:SPOOF ALERT!

                   

Looks relatable?

At some point of time we all have come across these types of posts/messages either on Facebook or on WhatsApp or even through E-mail.
These unwanted messages can be disguised in any form such as spam, hoax or phishing messages.
A hoax is a deliberate creation of falsehood made to masquerade the truth. It can be made to sound truthful by using unfamiliar or exaggerated terms, such as the dihydrogen monoxide hoax  which was prevalent in the 1990’s. But it is nothing but our dear water (H2O).
One of the most recent hoax which spread like a wildfire was Earth being covered in perpetual darkness after Diwali or some kind of radiations being emitted by your phone on a particular day.
The main reason why these hoaxes are circulating among thousands of people is either the lack of scientific literacy or gullibility of social media users.
We all have to understand that spamming your friends and family will not help a sick or a missing child, for that matter, at least without any background checks. (Aka sympathy hoaxes)
Now, we all have heard the tiger and the shepherd story, how the villagers don’t help shepherd when he actually needs it because of the pranks he used to play on them.

Social media is a double-edged sword. Because of these kind of hoaxes people are reluctant to help those who are genuinely in need of it.

SYMPATHY HOAXES are one of the nastiest hoaxes I’ve come across.
Creators of these hoaxes use the pictures of sick or injured children, creating fake stories and then circulating it. Usually these come with captions saying on each like or share XYZ company will donate a certain amount of money to the child or simply 1 like= 1 prayer.

MOTIVE BEHIND THESE HOAXES:

• Creation of these hoaxes are simply out of despicable mentalities for fun or to see how many likes or shares they get by fooling people around.
• Sometimes it is used by spammers to gather valid E-mail addresses, using the fact that people normally forward mails in their circles without using BCC option.

It is pointless to share these messages as it is not helping anyone.

 HOW TO AVOID HOAXES:

Next time if you come across such types of posts/messages:
In case of Facebook: Firstly, report that particular post and DO NOT comment on the post as it would promote it further.
If you find your friends taking a ride of such posts let them know.
In case of WhatsApp: If the message is from an unknown number block it right away.
DO NOT open any business card sent to you by an unknown number unless you asked for it.
Restrain yourself from forwarding any message that asks you to forward it to other people urgently. Instead try to run a background check first by using Google or true caller, if you’re still unsure ignore it.
DO NOT believe any message claiming to have found a cure for a disease or any health remedies before consulting your health professional.
In case of E-mail: Delete them as soon as you receive these messages.
If any company or person (claiming to be an official employee of a company) asks you to provide sensitive or personal information such as your bank account no. or pin number do not fall prey to such traps, instead report to the concerned authorities.

On the other hand there are a few genuine cases which need our immediate concern and support. Many people post on social media pages to reach out to a large number of people. It is highly advisable to verify the information provided and its preferable to go for cases which are shared by trustworthy associations only.
Extending a helping hand to a person in need is highly appreciated but verifying the information and channeling help to the right individual is of great importance too!

THYROID- A PAIN IN THE NECK...!

Thyroid- How does it work?

Thyroid is one of the largest glands of the endocrine system. Located in the front lower part of the neck it has the ability to control the metabolism of the whole human body. 

Thyroid conditions can be of two types- Hyperthyroidism and Hypothyroidism based on the abnormal production of the thyroid hormone.

Hyperthyroidism is the one where there is an overproduction of the thyroid hormones. On the other hand Hypothyroidism is the one where the level of thyroid hormone production is low.

Hypothyroidism as a side effect of cancer treatment

               

• The treatment of certain cancers like lymphoma generally includes radiations around the neck region. The radiation often causes damage to the hormone producing cells in the thyroid glands and thereby lowering the hormones production.
• Certain medications involved in cancer treatment can also be responsible for the thyroid blues.
• Thyroid complications can be commonly seen in patients who have undergone Bone marrow transplants as a long-term condition.

How do I know if I have thyroid abnormalities?

Hypothyroidism is an unpredictable syndrome. It can give grave discomfort or no trouble at all. Here are some tests which can be performed to correctly detect your thyroid abnormalities.

                  

• TSH Test- a simple blood test is all that is needed here. This test indicates the level of the thyroid hormones.These values can vary from person to person, in general the test reference values looks something like this:

              0.4- Normal

              2.5-at risk

              4.0-mild hypothyroidism

              10.0-hypothyroidism

Some symptoms of hypothyroidism

                    

• Constipation                                                                        
• Depression
• Dry skin
• Hair loss
• Difficulty in loosing weight or a sudden weight gain
• Increased sensitivity to cold
• Slower heart rate

Hypothyroidism-A Diet Plan

                        

                    

Beware of the following!

• Soy-Phytoestrogens present in Soy often lower the effect of the enzyme which initiates the production of thyroid hormones.

                     

• Iodine rich food supplements- In some cases iodine can be beneficial but iodine consumed n excess amount can hamper the hormone production.

               

• Iron and calcium supplements- they can interfere with the effectiveness of some thyroid production enzymes and thus should be avoided.

                                   

• Fiber rich food items- Though food items with high fiber content is recommended but if taken in huge amounts it can interfere with the absorption of the thyroid hormone by the body. Thus avoiding vegetable like cabbage, broccoli, spinach etc is advisable.

                           

• Caffeine, tobacco and alcohol consumption can even interfere with the effective action of the thyroid hormones.

Food items to go for!

• Fruits and veggies rich in antioxidants- Blueberries, tomatoes,bell peppers  rich in antioxidants can benefit the hormone producing capabilities of the thyroid gland

                         

• Selenium rich food items like sunflower seeds or basil nuts is highly beneficial for the proper functioning of the thyroid hormones.

                     

• Tyrosine supplements as recommended by the doctor is beneficial in proper  T3 and T4 production.

Few alternative treatments like including ayurvedic supplements in the diet can also help. Some plant extracts like ashwagandha, gotu kola,guggul are proven to be helpful. However, consulting a doctor before going for any of these is highly recommended.

CANCER MYTHS DEBUNKED

In today's so called 4g generation ‘Jo gol nahi hai', to every question however weird it may seem, internet is awashed with answers. But when it comes to healthcare the information is either outdated, not upto the mark or even worse misleading and far from authentic. When we talk about issues like cancer, which is one of the most dreaded word, it's important to break myths which are rooted in old theories and communication is the most important aspect to remove the cancer related stigma.
 So below are most prevalent 8 myths about cancer busted:

1. Cancer- a death sentence

Truth: Death is inevitable- don't we all know that? But hey! Cancer=death is not necessary. Today, medical science has come a long way and so has treatment of cancer. It definitely depends upon individual patient's lifestyle and other factors like stage and type of cancer but quality of life of cancer patients has improved.

2. Having sugar will worsen your cancer

Truth: Ok, let us get that straight, there is no scientific evidence that if you have cancer, eating sugar is going to harm you in anyway. Of Course, you are what you eat and it does affect your cancer risk but, eliminating all types of sugar(including natural sugars in fruits) will harm normal cells because they too require glucose to function and no, your not eating sugar will not shrink or affect your tumor anyway. So no need to ditch that sweet tooth yet! But having said above, one should reduce sugar in the diet.

3. Cancer is contagious

Truth: No! It's NOT contagious. You can't “catch” cancer from someone suffering from it by any sort of physical contact with them or breathing in the same air or sharing meals with them, except in rare cases of organ transplant wherein the donor has a history of cancer.

4. Cancer is hereditary

Truth: Research says only 5-10% of cancers can be inherited so it's not necessary if you have a family history of cancer you will suffer from it too and also it does not mean if you do not have a family history of cancer you will not suffer from it.

5. Only females suffer from breast cancer

Truth: Albeit, women are more likely to suffer from breast cancer that does not mean men can't suffer from it. Males too have breast tissue and they also suffer from breast cancer but breasts in males are not developed due to different hormones in males and females so chances are less.

6. Use of antiperspirants/deodorants causes breast cancer

Truth: According to scientific studies so far, no relation has been found between use of antiperspirants/deo and changes in cells of breast.

7. All cancers are same/cancer patients receive same kind of treatments

Truth: FALSE! There are over 100 types of cancer discovered and even if the cancer is of same type the treatments are tailored specifically for each patients depending upon location, stage and genes of individual patients. We all are different, right?

8. Cancer is extremely painful

Truth: Now that may sound true but no, not all people with cancer experience pain. It may be a side effect or symptom of cancer but it can be treated with certain medications and now a days there is a special type of care unit known as the palliative care which relieves side effects and symptoms of cancer.
So! Cancer does not necessarily have to be painful.

9. Cancer causes hair loss.

                                               

Truth: Cancer  does not causes hair loss but its treatment does . Yes, you heard it right. Chemo drugs are powerful medicines which kills rapidly growing cells which are present in our body. 
                                            

Unfortunately, they cannot differentiate between the good cells and the bad cells so in this process they end up killing the good cells too which includes the one which are responsible for our hair growth. 

These were some of the most common myths about cancer but there are many more myths which need to be taken care of!

 What to do?

First, and the foremost stop consulting Dr Google because Hey! Half knowledge is even dangerous than ignorance. There are many websites which lack credential information and are misleading. So it's better to take help from healthcare specialists and authentic sources. Lastly, stay positive and smile often!

THE IDEAL DIET FOR CANCER PATIENTS

An ideal diet plan can be the key to any treatment. A well planned diet is very important as the treatments often result in side-effects like nausea and the taste changes leading to a loss of appetite. So, the choice food should be suitable to the body and should not cause any adverse effects. One should not have too many dietary restrictions.

A good diet for a cancer patient contains a mix of vegetables and meat with lot of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals. They should strictly avoidextremely sweet and oily foods.

Ideal cooking methods for them should be steaming, boiling, and stir-frying. Don’t do any deep frying, grilling, barbequing and baking items.

A balanced diet should be of

·        1. Proteins (which helps to build tissues, prevents infection, heal wounds and helps to maintain a healthy immune system);

·        2. Carbohydrates and Fats (helps in gaining energy - removes weakness);

·        3. Vitamins and Minerals (helps for proper growth, body functioning) and;

·        4. Have plenty of Water and Liquids to avoid dehydration.

Foods to Include In Your Diet:

These are some of the food which should be included in the diet of patients and help them overcome the pain with a strong body.

Proteins:

• Lean meat, fish, poultry, and eggs.

• Dairy products, nuts, dried beans, dhal and chickpeas.

• Fish and soy(especially for prostate cancer).

   

Carbohydrates: 

• Rice, chapatti, wholegrain bread,healthy pasta and noodles.

• Potatoes, oats, wholegrain crackers,corn, beansand dairy products.

• Honey (should be consumed in limited quantity so that its anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties will possibly help in preventing infections).

   

  

Vegetables:

• Carrots, peas, tomatoes, pumpkin and turnips (vitamins and fibre).

• Parsley (especially good for prostate cancer), tomatoes and tomato puree.

• Cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage contain certain chemicals that will help to convert bad oestrogen into good oestrogen, and hence diminish cancer risk as well as the risk of deterioration.

• Asparagus and Brussels sprouts for detoxification.

• Bitter gourd (helps in lowering the blood sugar levels).

• Green leafy vegetables (calcium and iron).

   

Fruits:

• Oranges (vitamin C).

• Bananas, mangoes, kiwi, peaches, pears and strawberries (vitamins and fibre).

• Guava, apricots,avocadoes, figs, prunes and raisins (helps in regaining energy).

    

   

Foods to avoid:

• Grilled, barbequed, deep fried, baked meats (since exposing animal protein to high heat creates carcinogenic by-products called heterocyclic amines and causes damage to system).

• Excessive consumption of sugar, saltand extreme oily foods.

• Red meat and processed meats such as ham, sausages, bacon.

• Preserved foods like pickles, kiamchye (salted mustard green), jams and century eggs (contains nitrites which are carcinogenic).

• Minimise alcohol consumption.

   

Furthermore, patients must avoid unbalancedconsumption of vitamin supplementsas they act as antioxidants and may hinder with chemotherapy treatment when taken in large doses.

BABA KAMALNATH ASHRAM (GAON- GAHANKAR)

X's younger brother aged 40 yrs was diagnosed with colon cancer in July 2013. Doctors advised total colostomy immediately but like everybody, their mind and soul set in denial mode. Tried numerous things from ayurvedic to homeopathic to herbal to religious treatments from almost all over India but no one could hit the monster. They were a joint family with strong ties, so they winded up and sold their businesses to treat him first, thinking business ka kya hai wo phir start kar lenge.

At last had to go for total colostomy in May 2014, stoma bag was fixed followed by 12 sessions of Folfox chemotherapy, the ordeal ended in Nov 2014.

Another surgery for making J-pouch from small intestine was done in Feb 2015.

Last closure surgery was performed in May 2015 to remove stoma bag and to regulate natural way of waste disposal. After 1st surgery till this last surgery, a number of PET scans, CT scans were performed, there was no remains of this deadly disease. Discharge day came, everyone was very happy that the monster has gone and he is going home sound and healthy.

As a precaution, Doctors planned a CT scan before discharge. To everyone's shock, two lesions were noticed in this CT scan, 1 on liver and 2nd on iliac fossa. Discharge was stopped and PET scan was performed . Disease came back and this time in a very aggressive mode, its a stage 4 level, life expectancy was estimated about 9-18 months only.

For liver lesion, Doctors performed RFA immediately. For iliac fossa lesion, Folfiri chemo was planned.

Then I started looking for 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions, every Doctors said the same thing about remaining life, same chemo treatment with NIL assurances. Many informed that Folfiri is very tough chemo with serious side effects, hair-loss, diarrhea, low blood counts etc. etc. At this time his CEA was 17.

But from the last 15 days of these tests, they then started an ayurvedic and herbal formulation taken from a mandir near Tijara on Bhiwadi-Alwer road which has to be taken with milk, curd, malai of DESI Cow's milk, pure small bee honey and 280 Shyama Tulsi leaves daily. The saint who gives this medicine is of 118 years old. Daily about 200 patients use to come to take medicine.

When reports came, everyone was surprised but Doctors were confused, his CEA level came down to 4.65 from 17 within 15 days of medicine. Doctors performed FNAC of lesion, found nothing, only blood and blood elements found. 

Suspecting may not hit lesion, 3 days later FNAC was repeated, this time confident about hitting lesion, findings were same, only blood and blood elements. 

Chemo plan was dropped, booked room was cancelled, case discussed in Tumor Board and it was decided to keep the patient under observation.

Last week test was repeated, CEA dropped further to 3.46 from 4.65. He is feeling fine, PET ct has been planned for next week to see the status of lesion.

Doctors who were questioning his life and feeling the urgency for starting chemo, are confused what had happened. Though it was not disclosed to them that he is on some alternatives. But there was no single person who says that he has not been cured with this medicine. Being pushed in stage 4, he was now being cured without any allopathic treatment, I think he is now free from the deadly clutches.

Some important points to focus on are:

1) The milk should be of a DESI COW. Desi cow who has a hump on her back, other imported cow's have flat backs. Search google about desi cow, milk 1 & milk 2

2) 280 leaves of Shyama Tulsi is difficult to collect, so they give Tulsi powder to add with medicine at nominal cost. Though they insist for fresh leaves saying if fresh leaves have 100% effectiveness compared to powdered ones that will have 90% effectiveness. Basic 3 medicines are free of cost, additives like honey, mishra, Tulsi powder etc. cost little, whole month treatment costs about Rs. 1000-1500

3) There is not much restrictions with this medicine, medicines are not bitter, easy to take, to be taken with malai, curd, milk, mishri, honey. So don't worry, try if you can. Everybody knows Tulsi and cow milk products have anti cancerous properties

4)The treatment is used for all types of cancers(of any stage), basic 3 medicines remain same, they may add 1-2 additional ayurvedic medicines, depends case to case. 

Additional medicines are not a secret, they can be found commonly in  ayurvedic pharmaceuticals, easily available in market, if someone do not want to take from there. 

But everybody takes the medicine from there as there is no price difference between the mandir and the market. It is also heard from others that items taken from mandir are more effective than the ones purchased from the market. It all depends on personal belief.

Causes of cancer and Treatment Prevention of Cancer with Giloy:

Cancer starts with the damage in your DNA. DNA tells your cells how to grow and divide. Normal cells also suffer damage in their DNA but either they are able to repair themselves or they die. But there are certain damages that cannot be repaired. This causes the cells to grow and such cells become cancerous. The mutations also increase the life of the affected cells and they live beyond their normal life span. This causes the accumulation of the cancerous cells.

Many studies have now established that about 80 to 90 percent of cancer in humans is caused due to environmental factors. Some of the important factors contributing to cancer are smoking, infectious diseases, diet, chemicals and presence of radiation near the places of our residence or work.

 Giloy is an Indian herb which has been used since ages by the masters of Ayurveda for the treatment of various diseases including cancer. It is said to increase the life of the human beings by preventing the body from many disease. It is antihelminthic, anti periodic, anti arthritic, blood purifier, anti pyretic, digestive, carminative and expectorant. It gives strength to the heart and is an excellent diuretic. 

Recent studies have confirmed that the fresh juice of the plant is very beneficial in the treatment and prevention of cancer. The important chemical compounds found in the plant are tinosporin, palmarin, tinosporon, tinosporol, perberillin, berberine and heptaconsoltinosporic acid. The fresh stem bark contains giloinin, giloin and gilosterol. But recently phenolic lignin and hypoglycemia agent have also been isolated from the plant. The above bio active phytochemicals have been found to have ability to prevent various diseases including cancer and other immunological disorders.

Based on the historical evidence of the use of Giloy or Tinospora in the treatment of various diseases including cancer and in the light of the recent researches many studies have been done to verify the claim that the fresh plant juice cures and prevents cancer including the liver cancer.

Though more scientific studies are required but the studies so far have revealed the anti cancer and radio protective activities of the herb. The encouraging results only support the wisdom of the ancient masters of Ayurveda. 

It is used in cancer prevention, cancer treatment support, high cholesterol and liver protection. It is used as strong anti-aging factor.
