Dear Naveen
once in a while it will be necessary for all of us to be a little more proactive due to the urgency and contemporariness of certain things in our daily life.
What I do when i get up early in the morning is for kind information of all those who may be interested, I reserve a few minutes to talk to my body and my mind.
When I talk to my body, more often i listen to most of my body parts - each one at a time - no cacophony , no ranting, no uncivilised language...let us say as in Praja - I flex and unflex the limbs that respond to my inner most commands, allow them to give me a feed back in nano seconds, understand them, respond to them, make them feel comfortable that I am still alive and will take care of any problem in that part of the body, etc., it may bore you. But not more than a few minutes =
- coming to the 'mind part', I reminasence what I went through before i slept off, recap, decide what is most important and 'JUST DO IT'.

More of my two paise - Tulsi leaves instead of Bra Masks

Many of you must have gone through the sting operation that was conducted by a few smart journos of Bangalore Mirror of todate - how they conned the public in Majestic area with Bras cut and stitched to symbolise masks. Such is the gullibility of people who do not want to apply their mind to certain things in our daily routine.
Instead of succumbing to such cons, try the wonderful smell and medicinal value of Tulsi - particularly Krishna Tulasi - keep a few leaves in a plastic cover - whenever you are outside on the street, take out a few leaves, crush them in your palms till they become small bits and start exhuding the wonderful smell, cup your palm, keep it on your nose and move around. I am doing it and it really helps me to have a psychological advantage over all sorts of cheatings that are going on - like Bras,. Tamiflo instead of Tamiflu and others.
- Remember the old adage - Hittala Gida Maddalla
- Even otherwise, if you want to clear your clogged nose, you can smell the wonderful leaves of Tulsi.

For Dengue fever, a home remedy that will help for the platelets count. Could be used after checking with doctor.

Dear All
I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son who
has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the
critical stage at the SJMC ICU when his pallet counts drops to 15 after 15
litres of blood transfusion. His father was so worried that he seeks
another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me
that he give his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. >From a pallet count
of 45 after 20 litres of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw
papaya leaf juice, his pallet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the
doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged.
So he ask me to pass this good news around.
Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2 pcs just cleaned and pound and
squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. So
two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with
hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or
sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like Won Low Kat. But it
works.
Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue
You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that
papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant
now, I think it's good to share this with all. A friend of mine had dengue
last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count
had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to
fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year
old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her
body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own
battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very
hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was
admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce
the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice
out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her
fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered
after 3 days!!! Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be
overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to
have fever. Papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the
heat in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's
also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heat.

Very good tip-Krishna Tulasi/wheat grass juice also medicinal
Vasanthkumar Mysoremath - 15 August, 2009 - 06:03
Any tip that has curative effort needs to be propogated to a wide spectrum of populace. Let it be helpful to somebody. We have reached a stage of desparation in getting early cure methods.
Even today, our grand old ladies have such umpteen number of tips.
Prajas may like to post such tips for everybody's knowledge.
My take: I have a few pots in my balcony garden in which I have a few varieties of Tulsi, mint, wheat grass etc. and whenever there is a slight symptom of running nose, I pick a few tulsi leaves, sqeeze them in my palm, cup my nose with my palm, inhale deeply and get almost instant relief.
I also have seven mini pots (large ice cream cups with a hole at the bottom) in which I regularly grow wheat - After every seventh day, I remove the wheat grass with roots from one pot, wash it thoroughly, remove the upper grass portion, put the root portion into mixie with a little water, add a pinch of salt, run it for two minutes, filter the juice and consume it. I feel fresh and I understand it is a possible cure-IMHO for early stages of cancer. This way I will have regular supply.
One can keep those lovely green mini pots with wheet grass near TV sets to get a pleasing ambience but keep them in sunshine for a few hours for their biological systemic requirements. You can also give the grass neat look by cutting the top portion of the grass with a small scizor for shaping it like flatland, cone, round shape. They look so ornamental and also after seven days, they become medicines.
- No need for extra care or maintenance. Just wet the wheat for a few minutes with a pinch of turmeric powder dissolved in water - spread them on the soil and cover them with some more soil - Pour half a cup of water to keep the soil wet enough - no need to use extra special soil or manure - the usual potting red soil with the usual organic manuer will do.
- Over to you friends make your kids grow wheat grass in the discarded ice cream cups-they love to see them grow and keep them in their study rooms.
