Last summer was quite the time of my life and I don’t mean that in a positive aspect. I have never experienced anything like last summer. It was an emotionally and physically draining period my family and I went through and I learned not just a lot about myself but about life on a grand scale. I once told a dear friend of mine that life’s challenges were not meant to paralyze us but rather push us in the direction of discovering who we are and what we stand for.
I believe standing up for proper and efficient health care should be a top priority.
My sister is my best friend. Sometimes, we’re mistaken for twins as we find ourselves speaking at the same time and sound alike even though I am five years younger than her but am four inches taller than her; she’s a big part of who I am.
It is one of the most common disease of this century and yet most of the public are not aware of the method’s to control them and live healthy even with it.
so, i will put the talk in layman’s terms.
First let me, ask you how many of you are aware of your actual blood sugar level.?
The first thing about managing diabetes is to know about normal blood sugar level. The fasting blood glucose level should be always at or below 126mg/dl and post prantil blood sugar level should always be below 200mg/dl.
Any rise above the scale can be called as diabetes.
There are generally two type of diabetes.
The type 1 diabetes and the type2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is characterized by loss of the insulin-producing beta cels of the islet of langerhans in the pancreas leading to insulin deficiency. This type of diabetes can be further classified as immune-mediated or idiopathic. The majority of type 1 diabetes is of the immune-mediated nature, where beta cell loss is a T cell mediated autoimmune attack.There is no known preventive measure against type 1 diabetes. Most affected people are otherwise healthy and of a healthy weight when onset occurs. Sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin are usually normal, especially in the early stages. Type 1 diabetes can affect children or adults but was traditionally termed “juvenile diabetes” because it represents a majority of the diabetes cases in children.
Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by insulin resistance which may be combined with relatively reduced insulin secretion. The defective responsiveness of body tissues to insulin is believed to involve the insulin receptor. However, the specific defects are not known. Diabetes mellitus due to a known defect are classified separately. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type.
In the early stage of type 2 diabetes, the predominant abnormality is reduced insulin sensitivity. At this stage hyperglycemia can be reversed by a variety of measures and drugs that improve insulin sensitivity or reduce glucose production by the liver. As the disease progresses, the impairment of insulin secretion occurs, and therapeutic replacement of insulin may sometimes become necessary in certain patients.
so, one of the most important thing that a person diagnosed with diabetes is that he be aware of the type of his diseases and the further complications that may follow, the details of his drugs and the most important the DO”S AND DONT IN THE DIET.
The patient prone for diabetes include,
1. Hereditary factors
2. lack of excercise
3.excessive food
4. obesity
What are the signs and symptoms of the disease?
The characteristic triad include,
polyuria(excessive passing out of urine),
polyphagia(excessive hunger) and
polydipsia (excessive thirst)
There may be apparent weight loss also in type2 diabetes
The important measures of management
1. continuous medical care and routine check up of the blood sugar level
2.Always seek the advice of your doctor before changing drugs
3. muslim patients, who take fasting during the month of ramazan, must prior to the start of fasting make sure about their sugar level and also seek expect opinion on the medicine.
4. always keep an identity card of your diabetes status with you, when you go on a journey.
5.control your diet. Do, consult a good dietician near by
Avoid fatty food components and sugar. control the consumption of meat items.
consume more vegetables, pulses and cereals.
6. control your blood pressure.
best ways include leading a stress free life, and diet regulations. a little salt less in diet may save a lot.
Do regular exercise.
7.control your blood cholesterol
check your lipid profile once in a while.
again, regular exercise helps..Run, jump or atleast clean your garden!
8. nowadays, doctors have to put it in prescription to do regular exercise, because that is how most of them obey!!
9. do you have problems because of your excessive weight and size. you are at a very risk of getting DM.
so, control your diet
10. Always keep updated with your blood sugar level.
11. Avoid stress. stress kills!!!
12.avoid alcohol and smoking.
most of the lifestyle disorders can be prevented if we control our sedentary life habits.
Service Corporation International,NYSE:SCI has had poor numbers for the last year. Blaming poor financials on down turns in the numbers of deaths is truly sad. Saying that the cause of financial trouble is the number of births between 1932 and 1939 is borders on the laughable and sad. Blaming poor numbers on medical advances is just as sad. One has to wonder if the CEO Tom Ryan, Should be taken seriously.
This executive did admit that funeral volumes and financial reports will take a hit in the next several years.
“Houston-based SCI was so puzzled by the downturn that it hired outside consultants to find out why. The research is not complete, so the company won’t release it yet, but chief executive officer Tom Ryan told a recent conference call with analysts that there appear to be two major factors: medical advances, and a dip in the number of births between 1929 and 1936, the deepest years of the Depression.
“We know those two events are going to put downward pressure on the numbers of deaths in our relevant markets,” Mr. Ryan said. “We’re operating under the assumption that we’re probably going to see down comparable [funeral] volumes generally for the next few years.””-via Globe and mail.com

A Georgia bill that would outlaw abortions based on race, color or sex is fueling arguments over whether abortion providers are targeting black women. The Prenatal Nondiscrimination Act would apply to abortion "the same standards of nondiscrimination" that govern employment, education, government and housing, said Georgia state Rep. Barry Loudermilk, a Republican who introduced the bill last …
Ga. bill would outlaw abortion for race, sex (The Washington Times) Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:45:24 GMT
The only thing that is more stupid than what is taking place right here is the fact that I was actually raised by the granddaughter of a family of black slaves and the black maid who raised me told me about how her grandmother as a slave on a plantation in Atlanta, Georgia was raped and murdered by white fundamentalist Christians who are Republicans. So for the Christian conservatives and the Republican Party to dare come out and scream and yell about how the people who are pro-choice are the ones who are racist. When I have more than enough, news articles showing that by their own words, the Christian conservatives, and Republican Party are declaring how racist they are and how much they hate black Americans. So is awfully hard the Christian conservatives and the Republican Party to say that they are not racist. When I have actual statements made by members of the Christian conservative movement and the Republican Party in these United States, where they are declaring how much they hate black Americans.
As I said, it’s a little hard to claim that you’re not racist. When I actually have statements that you’re groups the Christian conservatives, and Republican Party are being documented as having made publicly in the entire world of how much you hate black Americans. How does hating black Americans not make you a racist?
Georgia Myers – My Guardian Angel. And the wonderful Lady who raised me.
And as I said, this is the lady who raised me. And she is the granddaughter of a family of black slaves, who are all and by a white family and Christian conservatives in Atlanta, Georgia, who are all Republicans. And this lady’s grandmother was raped and murdered by one of those white fundamentalist Christians who was a Republican. So the next time any of these Christian conservatives Republican Party members want to say they are not racist wanted you look at this picture. And remember that the Christian conservatives Republican Party murdered her grandmother after they raped her and brutally beat her to death.
It’s really interesting how the Christian conservatives and the Republican Party always yell and scream about how is everyone else’s race. When in reality, the Christian conservatives Republican Party have been nothing but racist, ever since they formed their religious group and political party.
The Christian conservatives and the Catholics don’t ever want to be responsible for the fact that since 78% of the United States is pro-life Christian that basically means that 78% of all the women and children murdered in the United States are killed by pro-life Christians and Catholics. It also means that Christians in United States are demanding that the world understand that to them being pro-life means killing, because while the Christian conservatives and Catholics are demanding that everyone understand they are pro-life. They are with their own actions, supporting a number of forms of killing, which means that they are NOT pro-life..
78% of all the women murdered in the United States are killed by pro-life Christians and Catholics .
78% of all the children abused in the United States are abused by pro-life Christians and Catholics .
78% of all the children murdered in the United States are murdered by pro-life Christians and Catholics .
78% of all the murders that take place in the United States are committed by pro-life Christians and Catholics .
78% of all the soldiers in the United States, who go out and kill are pro-life Christians and Catholics .
78% of the membership of the National Rifle Association, which support GUNS THAT KILL are pro-life Christians and Catholics .
Every single white supremacist group in the history of United States has always been white fundamentalist pro-life Christian. And these white supremacist groups are dedicated to killing anyone who is not white and Christian.
The Army of God is a white fundamentalist Christian group who is dedicated to murdering and killing every single nonwhite Christian in the United States.
78% of all the people who favor and support the death penalty meaning killing people for committing crimes are pro-life Christians and Catholics.
78% of all the ministers in the United States who carry firearms to church and are threatening to kill anyone who comes near the church was not white and Christian are pro-life Christians and Catholics .
78% of all the crimes against gay people in the United States are done by pro-life Christians and Catholics .
Every month between one and two transgendered females are murdered and every single one of these killings is done by pro-life Christian.
White fundamentalist Christians were the ones who demand the right to own black Americans and to kill them whenever they wanted to during the signing of the Declaration of Independence .
White fundamentalist Christians were the ones who took over the Republican Party during the battle of Washington and try to overthrow the United States government under president Hoover at the battle of Washington in 1932.
White fundamentalist Christians were the ones who took over the Republican Party on the evening before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation during the American Civil War . And who then used the Republican Party to hire John Wilkes Booth to murder Pres. Abraham Lincoln .
When you have all these forms of killing being supported by pro-life Christians and Catholics it’s easy to understand that the pro-life Christians and Catholics are demanding that everyone else be responsible for their own actions. But the white fundamentalist Christians and Catholics under no circumstances want to be responsible for anything they do because they are demanding that the entire world understand that to them being pro-life means killing, because that’s what they support killing. That’s why that those who claim to be pro-life are now becoming known as nothing more than, “Killers For Christ”. And of course it the white fundamentalist Christians and Catholics don’t like what I’m saying or want to take exception to what I’m saying they need to disprove every single item in this journal entry and my see also section below.

For the record, I am pro-life. I do not support violence against, or the killing of any human being under any circumstances! And the only way that I ever deviate from that stand is that I do not believe that God has ever given any human the right to dictate to any woman how she is to arbitrate her life with the Almighty, and/or God. Therefore, I believe that all women deserve the right to choose for themselves the fate of their own bodies, pursuant to their relationship with the Almighty, and/or God. For an expanded explanation please see my article entitled: "Second Gear"
It is astounding and depressing that Congress seems about to give up on the first major change in health care since the first Clinton Administration. The Democrats were up by 21, with two minutes to play in the fourth quarter, so what do they do? They throw an interception for a touchdown. Then they fumble the kick and give the opponents the ball on their own five-yard line for another touchdown. Finally, with 30 seconds on the clock, they fail to get a first down and give up the ball, letting the Republicans tie the score. Now the game is in overtime and the Democrats can’t seem to figure out that they have a majority and can jam health care reform down the throats of their opponents. It is time to pass health care reform.
The United States does not have a “health care system.” We have a medical service industry and a health insurance industry that rations medical services based on insured status and rakes off 15 or 20 per cent. If we really had a system, one third of the nation would not lack adequate health care.
We need a public health care system like Medicare that everyone can buy into at a reasonable price. Medicare has been a wonderful success, despite all the criticism from the political right, the American Medical Association, and the health insurance industry. There are problems, but they are manageable and susceptible to reform.
Health insurance executives are whining that they cannot compete with a public health care system. What better argument could you find in favor of establishing it? They cannot compete because a public system would be fairer, more efficient, and less expensive than the private insurance industry. These executives are like muleskinners a century ago whining that the internal combustion engine will put them out of business. True, but is that a reason to outlaw gasoline?
We need an inexpensive public alternative to private health insurance. That it will hurt the insurance industry is no excuse for leaving 100 million Americans without adequate health insurance. A fair health care system is a fundamental part of the social infrastructure. It is time to fill that void in the United States.
Tell the Democrats that it is time to move the ball down the field for the score. If health care fails again, it is time for a million uninsured people to march on Capitol Hill to demand universal health care. It is their right.
Everyone is aware of how petrol is manufactured, it is digged from soil in the form of crude oil and upon refining many products like petroleum jelly, kerosene, diesel, petrol comes up. Everyone thinks petrol is the highest purified form, but refining petrol gives us another product called as Aerosol which is used in airplanes.
In the same manner, the vegetables and other eatables we get are in crude and non eatable format, we cook them and eat them. After eating, the food is broke down into glucose, calcium,phosphorous and many other vital elements which are ready to be mixed in blood.
Hey, here the story doesn’t end. The highest form of the digested food is SEMEN, yeah you read it right. Even after blood, semen is created after multiple levels of purification, where digested food attains its highest form.
The Semen has a distinctive ability, Semen has given higher most importance in our culture.
Semen either has to be wasted to satisfy our lust, or it can be saved by not wasting it and this unused semen will be converted in to the purest form called as “OJUS”.
OJUS is the form where semen has transformed and is ready to add to our nervous system.
Ojus adds to our performance of our nervous systems. It makes us bright, it helps us in making marvelous things.
We take air for our respiratory system, food for our digestive system, blood is created through food in our circulatory system, waste is removed from our urinary system. So what are you doing to your nervous system.
Nervous system is completely neglected by everyone and everyone thinks their brain is not working properly because they are getting old. Actually poor brain is not getting its food.
How can your doggie run and jump and make you happy, if you don’t give it enough pedigree.
In the same manner brain will not function properly if you dont feed well. The food for brain is OJUS.
Dont waste your semen for simple things, use it for major things to change your life.
In the fifth week of my Internet in Medicine university credit course, the focus is on the world of e-patients when I present several real e-patients stories, examples when patients could successfully improve their health by using online pieces of information or communities. Here is a new story I will have to mention this March. Erin Turner suffered with pain in her right wrist on a daily basis, despite regular treatment from an orthopedic surgeon for years. Then she found a solution via Twitter:
First, my mother told me she saw something about wrist ligament damage in USA Today. Second, I noticed an alert on my Twitter aggregator: In coordination with the USA Today article, @MayoClinic was hosting a #wristpain Twitter chat with Dr. Richard Berger, the surgeon who discovered the UT split tear. When I read the article and the tweet, I knew I had to participate.
Less than 24 hours after my initial appointment, I not only had a new diagnosis – a UT split tear – but had surgery to correct the problem. As I write this, my right arm is in a festive green, but otherwise annoying cast. The short-term hassle, however, should be more than worth the long-term gain – the potential for a future without chronic wrist pain. A future, that without Twitter and those in the medical community willing to experiment with new communications tools, might not exist for me.
Turner summarized the story in 3 points:
Patients need to receive information through multiple channels.
Social media should be integrated with traditional media, when possible.
