The women of the West have been in the grip of the Jewish fashion industry for many, many, many centuries. After all, clothes are one of the Seven Essentials of Life. After air, water, and food, we all need clothes more than anything else to protect us from the natural environment and for our personal modesty.
So, of course, where there is a need, there are crafty merchants always ready to fill that need. And when there is big money to be made by sewing on an extra ribbon or some lace and calling it "the latest fashion" that every girl must wear, then the stage is set for profiteering on a huge scale. And clothes become not only a necessity but they become an extravagance. And anything that is an extravagance is also expensive. And what produces expense and profits, also produces Jews in the garment business.
Clothes are a necessary part of surviving in most of the world. The Eskimos certainly need them while the natives of Africa can do without. But for those of us who wear clothes, the clothes, themselves, become a part of our environment. And like everything else in the environment, the clothes we wear have an effect upon our health.
For example, there is one element of a woman's wardrobe that causes breast cancer (and possibly lung cancer as well) but which is touted as a totally necessary fashion accessory. And that fashion accessory is the brassier. This may seem funny to men, but to women, breast cancer is no laughing matter. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women and the second-most common cause of death (lung cancer is first). One in eleven American women will get breast cancer in her lifetime. And since breast cancer kills so many women, they are, quite understandably in terror of this disease. After all, it strikes at both their health and at their sexuality all at once. So, terrified are they of breast cancer that some women have the idiot Western physicians surgically remove both of their breasts AS A PREVENTIVE MEASURE just to make sure that they never catch it! Physicians such as these should never be consulted if you have a headache.
If you peruse the daily newspapers in any American city, you will see that the largest ads which often take up entire pages, are for women's underwear. Ask yourself why, if underwear are supposed to not be seen, are they so prominently displayed? The answer is, of course, that these lacy undergarments make huge profits. A bit of lace and elastic totaling fifty cents in raw materials and sewn together by sweat shops in Asia for a total cost of one dollar, are sold through the very expensive newspapers ads for twenty-five or fifty dollars each. Multiply this times how many bras each woman owns, times all the women in America , and you have a multi-billion dollar industry based solely upon tieing up the breasts of women.
A woman's breast is a complex organ. But it is based upon the simplicity of Mother Nature so it is not so complex that a little bit of thinking cannot fathom its functions. This system of glands, muscles and fatty tissues has a drainage system that is affected by the pull of gravity as well as by the natural sucking pressures of little babies' sweet little lips. This drainage system of lymphatic and mammary glands is like any other drainage system. When it gets plugged up or constricted, it doesn't work.
However, Western medical and scientific thinking is twisted by the Jewish justification for profiteering. Since it is a Jewish Talmudic Law that "any non-Jew who keeps a Jew from making money must be killed", then it is understandable as to why something as simple as breast cancer is never cured but is only treated. After all, to a Jew, by their own admission, their profits are more important than other peoples' lives.
Scientific studies which show that moderate but regular physical activity can reduce a woman's risk of developing pre-menopausal breast cancer by as much as 60 percent, don't seem to register on the Western scientific brain. Other studies that show that women who breast-feed their babies reduce significantly their chances of getting breast and ovarian cancers, also do not light up the Western physicians' mental faculties. But they do have a few neural signatures with studies that show women who eat the most fats, saturated fats and animal protein have a three times greater chance of getting breast cancer than those whose intake of these foods was lowest. Diet, is a profit point for doctors, so for this, they have some opinion. But in regard to bras and cancer, they refrain from thinking. After all, they treat bodies. And clothing is outside of the body, so anything outside of the body is beyond their comprehension.
Naturally, the Western physicians all have myriads of complicated theories as to why breast cancer occurs. After all, if it's complicated, then you need to pay them a lot of money to explain it to you. Simplicity is simply not profitable to them.
But rather than theories, I want to ask you to think about what happens if you wrap a rubber band around your finger and leave it there for a prolonged period of time. The finger turns red, begins to hurt, and if you are crazy enough to leave it there long enough, the finger will die from lack of circulation and turn gangrenous, there-by poisoning your entire body and killing you. So, don't do this at home. Only put a rubber band around your finger under a doctor's supervision. That way, while leaving the rubber band in place, they will be able to cut off your finger as a preventative of blood poisoning! It is the same for the breasts of American women. Only, instead of wrapping rubber bands around their fingers, they are wrapping Jewish fashions around their breasts.
So, perhaps a few more clues might help the Sherlock Holmes in all of us to unravel the mystery. The bra was first marketed in 1912 and 1913. If you inspect the tables for mortality rates for breast cancer, you will find that breast cancer began to increase in the United States in 1914. From that date onward, breast cancer began as a low-incidence disease and started its climb upward to its present-day, first-cause for death in women.
Although the bra was invented by a woman to relieve her own painfully heavy breasts, it was quickly seized upon by the Jewish garment makers as the latest fashion accessory that every woman just HAD to have. After all, they reasoned, if one woman liked it, all women would want to have them. And that is where the money is, in mass production and fashion craze.
But with one in eleven women getting breast cancer, and the doctors and garment makers counting the profits, shouldn't the people, themselves, try to figure out a few things on their own about this? Who else will help us to solve this puzzle? Certainly, they are not willing to.
Well, a couple of people actually did figure out a few things on their own. When Soma Grismaijer got breast cancer, she took off her bra, drank a lot of carrot juice and other natural remedies and the cancer went away. Wondering about this, she and Sydney Ross Singer did some research which they published in a book entitled, "Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras".
http://www.selfstud ycenter.org/ dressedtokill. htm
They found that "Over-enthusiastic bra wearing, is cutting off lymphatics, which drain all of our body. And the lymphatics of the breast, because the breast is a skin organ, are easily cut off by a slight constriction. If that happens, there's a chronic long term edema building up in the breast....Meanwhile , as the breasts are being constricted, the woman is exposed to toxins as part of everyday life in America . These toxins are delivered to all parts of her body, including the constricted area, by the blood stream. . . Other tissues of the body remove the toxins through normal lymphatic drainage, but the breasts, due to reduced drainage, experience longer-term toxin exposure."
This is pretty good reasoning for people who haven't even considered the effects of bra constriction on the acupuncture meridians!
Combine these findings with the fact that women who breast feed their sweet little babies instead of stuffing rubber nipples full of animal milk or synthetic formula into their mouths, significantly reduce their breast cancer risk, and what do you have? ... Normal, healthy women. A real rarity in the West!
So, Singer and Grismaijer published their book and called a news conference to announce the book and their discoveries. They sent press releases to all of the media outlets including the newspapers and TV. They rented their conference space, prepared their press kits and were all ready for the big day. But no one showed up! Not one news reporter stopped by to get the big story that bras are a major cause of breast cancer! And why? Look in the daily newspaper or in the Sunday section advertising of the big department stores. Bras make money for the garment makers, bras make money for the department store owners, bras make money for the newspapers, bras make money for the mammogram and cancer researchers. Bras are good for business.
kSo, why would the Media want to announce that bras cause breast cancer? It's bad for business. That's why!
Ayurveda
Nowadays Ayurveda is gaining popularity world wide. But most of the people run behind Ayurveda with out knowing what actually it is. As a result of this the multi national companies and other small companies exploit them cruelly.
Now let’s take a break and read a brief note about Ayurveda-“The ancient Indian system of Medicine”.
Ayurveda is a broad based science of life developed with 2 fold objectives- to preserve the health of a healthy individual and to relieve the disease of the ailing
Ever since the dawn of his turbulent history man has evolved several ways of coping with illness. All ancient civilizations have thus developed their own medical system which not only reflect certain philosophies but also appears to be influenced by then existing social beliefs and practices
Virtually every country has a system of traditional medicines possessing a unique configuration designed to be compatible with its own future and meeting the needs of its own populations. Therefore Ayurvedic thoughts and methods have had a deep impact in the life style of the people of India.
Traditional medicine is full of real experiences, observations and fancy formulae reflecting a combination of inspiration, facts and results. However some concepts are beyond the realm of rational and experimental analysis in contemporary terms. In the words of Caraka – one of the most eminent Ayurvedic scholars of ancient India- there is very little that can be obtained by direct proof. The province beyond direct experimental evidence is vast. This can be obtained by inference, rational thinking and advices of teachers and other experts in the field.
The most important feature of modern medicine differentiating it from the Indian system is the method of breaking down complex phenomenon into their component factors and with each in isolation. This means, now the modern medicine is being dived into specialty, super specialty etc and now there are doctors who treat different parts of the body and not the patient as a whole. Thus the modern medicine has developed a reductionist approach forgetting to treat the patient as a whole. Thus the reductionist approaches of modern medicines its main limitation. A true physician is who cares for the people. If we were able to develop a truly holistic approach to the meaning of illness, we need to broaden our minds and increase our perception.
Indian system of medicine has this holistic perspective about health and life. Here all aspects of life are considered. Ayurveda is not only a system of medicine but also the science of life. It presents a unique concept of life and its components.
According to Ayurveda, life is a combination of Body, Senses, Spirit, Soul and Mind. Thus health means the healthy state of all these components.
Concepts in treatment
The theory of Pancamahabuta<5> and the theory of Tri Dosha are the basis of Ayurveda.
1. According to the theory of Pancamahabhuta ,every creation is a combination of 5 subtle elements – Space(Akasha), Air(Vayu), Fire(Agni), Water(Jala) and Earth(Prithvi)
2. The theory of Tri Dosha is a deeper biological application of the concept of Pancamahabhutas. Tri Dosha or the three humours are Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.
Vata is characterized by the predominance of Vayu and Akasa. Pitta is formed by the action of Agni and Kapha formed by the Jala and Prithvi. These are called as doshas because they have the the tendency to get vitiated and to vitiate other elements of the body. They are considered as dhatus as they help to upload the body.
The equilibrium of the three doshas keeps the body healthy. When this equilibrium is lost body becomes diseases. To maintain the equilibrium and to re establish the disturbed equilibrium, substance having similar properties or opposite properties are used accordingly to the condition- If Vata Dosha is increased in a body, this may cause Vata diseases. To cure this, the increased Vata must be normalized. For this substances and habits having properties opposite to that of Vata are practiced.
If vata Dosha is decreased it will also disturb the equilibrium. This will cause diseases, which are cured by increasing Vata in the body. For that the substances and habits which increase Vata are used. This constitutes the basic principle of Ayurvedic treatments
Apart from the three humors, Ayurveda explain 7 dhatus. These are related with the normal function of the body. These can be compared to the tissues of modern science.
The 7 dhatus are
1. Rasa (Plasma)
2. Rakta (Blood)
3. Mamsa (Muscles)
4. Medas (Fat)
5. Asthi (Bone)
6. Majja (Marrow)
7. Sukra (Reproductive elements)
The vitiation of the three humors will vitiate dhatus and the vitiation will manifest as diseases. Thus the dhatus can be considered as the materialized forms of the three Dosha.
Thus the treatment in Ayurveda can concluded as the processing of maintaining equilibrium of these factors.

Yoga Therapy
Science has enabled man to perform miracles. The height of a mountain or depth of an ocean is not all a problem to man. But it is a pity and painful fact that with these miracle powers man is still helpless in the hands of death and disease. Often he pays an untimely toll to death .Man should be the master of destiny, man should have the power to cure his diseases and to control his premature death. Indian yogic sciences are definite aids to this end
Yoga science ios divided into three branches-Hatha yoga, Raja Yoga and the Vaidya yoga
The Hatha yoga stresses on the purification of the body. A pure body and perfect health are stepping stones to godly life and ideal life. Raja yoga stresses on purification of mind and suspension of mental operations. The Hatha yoga is mainly used in yoga therapy. Hatha yoga can be divided into 6 parts. Dhouti, Basti, Neti, Asana, Mudra and Pranayama
Yoga therapy has two aspects. One is the purification of the body by eliminating the toxins and accumulated waste materials using procedures like Dhouti,Basti and Neti.
The second aspect is the correction of pranic flow in the body through asana and pranayama
The accumulated Poisons are the nourishing food for all disease germs. If these are removed no dangerous diseases can attack our body. If these cleansing techniques are applied when diseased it will cure fastly.
The pranic flow or energy flow through the body is deteriorated during diseases and the imbalance of the pranic flow will increase the diseases. By the practice of asana and pranayama, energy flow through the subtlest channels of the body is increased. This is achieved by increasing the blood flow in the body. The blood flow is increased by the consecutive contraction/stretching and relaxation of various groups of muscles in the body.
A change in the attitude and lifestyle is necessary to help the individual to avoid the health hazards and cope with the future. The root cause of the ailment is stress. Through the various therapeutic techniques of yoga one can pluck out this root cause and provide health and harmony
WHO has recently defined health as the state of complete physical, mental, social and spiritual well being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity. It is only recently that the modern science has accepted the mind and spirit as the integral part of human being. But the yogic tradition has recognized these fact centauries ago. According to yogic tradition there are 5 sheaths for human body. They are
1. Physical body (Annamaya Kosha)
2. Pranic body (Pranamaya Kosha)
3. Mind body (Manomaya Kosha)
4. Intellect body(Vijanamaya Kosha)
5. Bliss body (Anandamaya Kosha)
Here health means the well being of all the 5 sheaths which is more vast and deep than the definition given by WHO
An individual needs proper balance of the 5 sheaths to be in a state of complete health. Pathogenesis according to yoga sastra can be explained as the disturbance occurring in the Manomaya kosha due to the interactions with the physical world. This disturbance in Manomaya kosha is called as Adhi.The stress disturbs the Prana in Prana maya kosha and finally manifests as diseases in Annamaya kosha. Due to the ailment, the individual becomes unhappy and low individual caliber. Thus he become completely ill health and imbalanced in all the 5 layers of existence.
The integrated approach of Yoga Therapy uses Asanas, Kriyas and Yogic diet for development to Annamaya kosha, Pranayama for Pranamaya kosha, meditation and devotional session for Manomaya kosha, notional correction for Vijanamaya kosha and working in relaxation for Anandamaya Kosha. Usage of all these practices is required for curing stress related diseases. Thus by these yogic techniques health, harmony and peace can be brought to the suffering humanity.
Asanas have their main purpose in making the nerves and muscles stronger and keep the spine flexible. As a machine cannot work without strong tape or chain which connects all portions of the machines, our body machine cannot work with out healthy, strong nerves and muscles. This is why asanas are essential for health.
The main purpose of Mudras is to keep the glands in health and proper function. These glands have great responsibility in maintaining physical health and mental equilibrium. The body becomes weak, invalid and diseased and finally falls prey to premature death due to lack of adequate secretions of endocrine glands. So the glands are the conductors, preservers and destroyers of the body. The practices of mudras are essential to regulate the glands in marinating normal health.
All created things are made up of prana or vital force. So prana is also the creator, conductor and preserver of the body. The process by which the expansion of the prana is managed is called Pranayama .Pranayama especially helps to maintain strong heart and lungs.
Hatha yoga was used by the Indian monks for prevention of diseases. Through Hatha yoga we can treat diseases like Heart diseases, hyper tension, coronary thrombosis, diabetes, asthma, gastric ulcer, carcinoma at the preliminary stages, dysentery and other chronic diseases. Yoga methods can claim the highest place among all systems of cure because the body’s self healing mechanism is promoted by activating the endocrine glands or by increasing the pranic flow through the body or by removing the blocks to the flow of pranic energy in the body .In all other systems of cure some other external agents are used as medicine which may act as toxins. Yogic therapy also improves the standard of life of the diseased person.

PCOS or Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome
Most common symptoms of PCOS are:
· Acne, its aggravation
. enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts, an abnormally
high number of follicles at various states of maturation, and a
thick, scarred capsule surrounding each ovary.
·
· Amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods) Absent menses
(amenorrhea), usually (but not always) after having one or more
normal menstrual periods during puberty (secondary amenorrhea)
· Oligomenorrhea (very light menstrual cycles), heavy flows at
shorter span cycles are also observed when pitta vitiation is ecessive. Exess unopposed estrogen gives rise to this situation and contrary to most beliefs, is easier to treat than vatic from of PCOS: most women suffering from Vatic PCOS have
irregular menses and may have scanty menstruation (oligomenorrhea) or
no menses at all (amenorrhea).
· Decreased breast size
· Anovulation (lack of ovulation and therefore infertility)
· Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (abnormal bleeding patterns at mid cycles)
· Hirsutism (excess hair growth, usually in a male pattern),
Growth is centred on the body, calf muscles, slightly below big toe
on feet, thighs, below navel, between breasts and mustache region.
Sometimes thick eyebrows and cheeks too. Facial hair, and/or thinning
of the scalp hair This pattern is sometimes termed virilization. This
is a advance of PCOS in difficult to treat regime. Change of voice may be present. Experienced vaidyas can spot a case by the hair growth easily.
· Infertility
· Insulin resistance (problems with blood sugar regulation)
· Male-pattern hair loss and fat deposition
· Weight gain, difficulties loosing weight, central obesity
In polycystic ovary disease, under-developed follicles accumulate in
the ovaries. Follicles are sacs within the ovaries that contain ova.
The ova in these follicles fail to mature and, therefore, cannot be
released from the ovaries. Instead, they accumulate as cysts in the
ovary. Such ovaries are two to five times larger than normal ovaries,
and they have a white, thick, tough outer covering. Women are usually
diagnosed when in their 20s or 30s.This can contribute to
infertility. The lack of follicular maturation and inability to
ovulate are likely caused by low levels of follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH) and higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male
hormones) produced in the ovary. The ratio of LH to FSH is used by
modern medicine as a pointer to PCOS. If a woman is suffering from
excess androgens, an experienced vaidya can pick up the features from
face, body frame etc. In medical astrology, influence of masculine
planets on 5th house of the chart indicates such possibilities. Many
feel urge to evacuate the bowels but when they visit toilet, nothing
happens. In the same way, in PCOS, eggs are there, but their lack of
maturity precluses their expulsion from the ovary. Ayurveda believes
that for a healthy baby, a strong healthy ovuma and equally strong
sperms are needed. Hence at least 3-6 months of strengthening of
ovaries, uterus, sperms are attempted by diet, herbal treatment.
Insulin resistance is believed to cause polycystic ovarian syndrome.
In addition to other hormones, insulin helps regulate ovarian
function. When someone is insulin resistant, this means that cells
throughout the body do not readily respond to insulin circulating in
the blood. For this reason, the amount of insulin remains high in the
blood (called hyperinsulinemia). High levels of insulin can
contribute to lack of ovulation, high androgen levels, infertility,
and early pregnancy loss.
Women who underwent precocious puberty have higher risk of PCOS.
Women diagnosed with this disorder frequently have a mother or sister
with similar symptoms commonly associated with PCOS.
Treatment for PCOS
Exercise and weight reduction have been shown to be highly
beneficial in the treatment of PCOS and its symptoms. Exercise can
helps reduce weight, regulate menstrual cycles, and reduce risk
factors for diabetes and heart disease which are associated with
PCOS.
Women with PCOS respond well to simple carbohydrates with low
calories, low animal product, high fiber diet which helps reduce
weight, regulate blood sugar and insulin levels, and reduce
inflammatory prostaglandins. author recommends avoiding night shade
family.
Diet can help to regulate blood sugar and insulin levels, reduce
circulating androgens, improve ovarian function, improve fertility,
reduce risk of heart disease, and support liver detoxification of
estrogens.
Depending on symptoms of PCOS, a variety of herbal options exist.
Modern science offes mostly birth control pills to regulate cycles,
anti-diabetets medicines such as metformin/glucophage for
hyperinsulinemia and synthetic hormone tablets such as clomid to
force ovulations. With new scientific evidence drawing links between
use of the contraceptive pill and anxiety and depression, the use of
female hormones in the treatment of excessive androgens may bring
about additional undesirable symptoms in women already looking for
relief. Few of this authors patient obtained excessive central
obesity after using birth control pills for 5-10 years.
Ayurveda has a wide range of phytosterols to strengthen ovarian
functions. Various Ghrutams made from herbs and cow ghee are used to
balance out hormones. Aloe vera, cinnamon, fenugreek, amalki, honey,
glycosugars, shilajit, shatawari, aswgandha, Kauncha, Vidarikand,
salam, ashoka, etc is a wide spectrum. The goal of herbal medicine
might be reducing circulating androgens, optimizing ovarian function,
and supporting optimal endocrine function.
Any herbal treatment of PCOS must consider the fact that sex hormones
are steroids ie fats and are therefore water insoluble – which is why
they need the sex hormone binding globulins or SHBGs (which are water-
soluble proteins) to move through the bloodstream. In order to get
rid of used or excess hormones the liver conjugates, or joins, them
with another molecule to make them water soluble. They are then
excreted via the bile duct into the gut. If they hang about in the
gut too long these conjugates are broken down by bacteria in the gut
and the hormone component is reabsorbed into the hepatic portal vein.
This is known as entero-hepatic recirculation. So by increasing bile
flow you are helping to both improve the clearance of excess hormones
via the liver and reduce the amount of entero-hepatic recirculation.
Improved bowel function also helps to reduce insulin levels.

1/2 to 3/4 tsp. of cinnamon with every meal helps keep insulin &
blood sugar levels under control. Alternative practitioners and some
researchers believe that the hidden epidemic of PCOS is caused by bad
ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fats in diet. Fatty acids help keep cell
membranes flexible. Flexible cell membranes have more and better
insulin receptors, which improves glucose metabolism. Flax seed and
some kinds of deep-sea fish have them; in addition borage oil, black
currant oil, evening primrose oil, flax seed oil, fish oil are used
in west, but in ayurveda, sesame oil, cow butter and ghee is supposed
to take care of most of cardiac problems as well as insulin
resistance problems. Glycosugars are also essential as discussed by
this author in ayurvedaonline archieves under tittles "Iron rules of
Health".
Indian women can take a paste made from 21 leaves each of neem, bail,
tulsi at breakfast time to reduce insulin resistance. Similarly soak
1 tsp fenugreek seeds at bedtime in a cup of water, take this water
first thing in the morning.
A weight decrease of only 5 percent of total body weight is
associated with decreased insulin levels, increased fertility,
reduced hirsutism and acne, and lower androgen levels.
Western herbal medicine uses phytoestrogen and phytoprogesteronic
herbs, such as blue cohosh (Caulophyllum thalictroides) and false
unicorn root (Chamaelirium luteum), as well as liver herbs, like
milk thistle, dandelion (Taraxacum mongolicum), to work toward
hormonal balance. Vitamin supplements with antioxidants, including
zinc, and vitamins A, E, and C, are also recommended.
Although the treatments for PCOS seem simple and straightforward when
written in black and white, living with PCOS can be difficult and
stressful. Many women seek explanations for their symptoms, only to
be turned away by doctors who do not take their complaints seriously,
or who explain away their symptoms as simply "modern life". In
particular, excessive hair growth and acne are symptoms which have
been labeled "purely cosmetic" by doctors either not familiar with or
not willing to look deeper at what these symptoms might be pointing
to. Abnormal menstrual cycles, particularly in teenage sufferers of
PCOS, have similarly been labeled as variations on a normal cycle,
and women reporting particularly long and/or painful periods have
been treated with skepticism or disbelief. Because of the wide
variation of symptoms this syndrome exhibits, doctors may not be able
to recognize the link between them, and may exclude PCOS as a
possibility.
· Acne, its aggravation
. enlarged ovaries with multiple small cysts, an abnormally
high number of follicles at various states of maturation, and a
thick, scarred capsule surrounding each ovary.
·
· Amenorrhea (lack of menstrual periods) Absent menses
(amenorrhea), usually (but not always) after having one or more
normal menstrual periods during puberty (secondary amenorrhea)
· Oligomenorrhea (very light menstrual cycles), heavy flows at
shorter span cycles are also observed when pitta vitiation is ecessive. Exess unopposed estrogen gives rise to this situation and contrary to most beliefs, is easier to treat than vatic from of PCOS: most women suffering from Vatic PCOS have
irregular menses and may have scanty menstruation (oligomenorrhea) or
no menses at all (amenorrhea).
· Decreased breast size
· Anovulation (lack of ovulation and therefore infertility)
· Dysfunctional uterine bleeding (abnormal bleeding patterns at mid cycles)
· Hirsutism (excess hair growth, usually in a male pattern),
Growth is centred on the body, calf muscles, slightly below big toe
on feet, thighs, below navel, between breasts and mustache region.
Sometimes thick eyebrows and cheeks too. Facial hair, and/or thinning
of the scalp hair This pattern is sometimes termed virilization. This
is a advance of PCOS in difficult to treat regime. Change of voice may be present. Experienced vaidyas can spot a case by the hair growth easily.
· Infertility
· Insulin resistance (problems with blood sugar regulation)
· Male-pattern hair loss and fat deposition
· Weight gain, difficulties loosing weight, central obesity
In polycystic ovary disease, under-developed follicles accumulate in
the ovaries. Follicles are sacs within the ovaries that contain ova.
The ova in these follicles fail to mature and, therefore, cannot be
released from the ovaries. Instead, they accumulate as cysts in the
ovary. Such ovaries are two to five times larger than normal ovaries,
and they have a white, thick, tough outer covering. Women are usually
diagnosed when in their 20s or 30s.This can contribute to
infertility. The lack of follicular maturation and inability to
ovulate are likely caused by low levels of follicle stimulating
hormone (FSH) and higher-than-normal levels of androgens (male
hormones) produced in the ovary. The ratio of LH to FSH is used by
modern medicine as a pointer to PCOS. If a woman is suffering from
excess androgens, an experienced vaidya can pick up the features from
face, body frame etc. In medical astrology, influence of masculine
planets on 5th house of the chart indicates such possibilities. Many
feel urge to evacuate the bowels but when they visit toilet, nothing
happens. In the same way, in PCOS, eggs are there, but their lack of
maturity precluses their expulsion from the ovary. Ayurveda believes
that for a healthy baby, a strong healthy ovuma and equally strong
sperms are needed. Hence at least 3-6 months of strengthening of
ovaries, uterus, sperms are attempted by diet, herbal treatment.
Insulin resistance is believed to cause polycystic ovarian syndrome.
In addition to other hormones, insulin helps regulate ovarian
function. When someone is insulin resistant, this means that cells
throughout the body do not readily respond to insulin circulating in
the blood. For this reason, the amount of insulin remains high in the
blood (called hyperinsulinemia). High levels of insulin can
contribute to lack of ovulation, high androgen levels, infertility,
and early pregnancy loss.
Women who underwent precocious puberty have higher risk of PCOS.
Women diagnosed with this disorder frequently have a mother or sister
with similar symptoms commonly associated with PCOS.
Treatment for PCOS
Exercise and weight reduction have been shown to be highly
beneficial in the treatment of PCOS and its symptoms. Exercise can
helps reduce weight, regulate menstrual cycles, and reduce risk
factors for diabetes and heart disease which are associated with
PCOS.
Women with PCOS respond well to simple carbohydrates with low
calories, low animal product, high fiber diet which helps reduce
weight, regulate blood sugar and insulin levels, and reduce
inflammatory prostaglandins. author recommends avoiding night shade

Education Not Medication
The breast cancer industry is now run by corporations that profit from women with disease. With nearly all breast cancer nonprofits being subjugated by drug companies, the FDA censoring alternative cancer solutions, and the mainstream media wildly exaggerating the benefits of near-useless cancer drugs like Herceptin, there's hardly a message heard about breast cancer today that doesn't have a profit motive behind it.
The emphasis on breast cancer "screening," and the circus of holding breast cancer awareness months is, of course, all about recruiting more women into a system of treatment that generates profits for drug companies. Using fear-based tactics of recruitment (like telling women, "You'll die in six months if you don't undergo chemotherapy. .."), the breast cancer industry manages to corral women of all races and ages into treatments that actually harm far more women than they help.
Find that hard to believe? Researchers at the Nordic Cochrane Center in Denmark studied 500,000 women to determine the results of breast cancer screening programs. They found that for every one woman helped by breast cancer screening, ten were harmed through false diagnosis or unnecessary treatments that devastated their health.
"What seems like good and obvious advice in everyday life is not always scientifically or medically sound", said Peter Gotzsche, MD, director of the center. "So we might say there is a benefit of one but a harm of 10 from screening for breast cancer."
In other words, breast cancer screening is surprisingly harmful to women. That's partly because the procedure itself irradiates the breast tissue and actually causes cancer, but also because practically any screening result producing a questionable blur on the final image may result in a woman being manipulated through fear into undergoing aggressive, toxic cancer treatments even when they never had breast cancer in the first place. (False positives are extremely common in breast cancer screening, and in some cases, the machinery is incorrectly calibrated and doesn't even meet radiology standards.)
Preventing prevention
And yet breast cancer screening is the only form of "prevention" offered by the cancer industry. Only it isn't prevention, it's detection. Breast cancer screening does nothing to educate women how to really prevent breast cancer, nor does it teach women how to change their diets and lifestyles so that breast cancer never develops in the first place. In fact, the strategy of the cancer industry today can be best described as waiting for women to get cancer, then treating it with toxic drugs.
While tens of millions of women are developing undetectable, early-stage breast cancer right now, the cancer industry does nothing. They will not tell these women how to halt the growth of cancer tumors; they will only wait until the cancer becomes large enough to see on a screening test, and then they will scare the women to death with harmful, authoritative medical demands and toss them into chemotherapy -- a treatment that causes permanent, irreversible harm to the brain, heart, liver, kidneys and other organs.
Yet even the World Health Organization admits that 70 percent of all cancers can be prevented through simple changes in food and lifestyle. That number is probably conservative, though. My own opinion is that 90 percent of all cancers can be prevented through simple food and lifestyle changes. Yet no one in the cancer industry is interested in teaching any of these strategies to women. In the cancer industry, there is no incentive to teach women how to avoid breast cancer, because to do so would eliminate a future customer!
That's why I started the Education Not Medication program. It is a humble effort to teach women how to prevent their own breast cancer through scientifically- supported natural health strategies that are easy to understand and simple to follow. They include things like eating more broccoli and garlic, getting more natural sunlight on your skin (to generate the anti-cancer nutrient Vitamin D) and avoiding cancer-causing chemicals in manufactured foods (such as sodium nitrite, found in bacon, sausage and virtually all packaged meats). A more detailed list is offered below.
The cancer industry depends on more cancer
The cancer industry remains silent about these cancer prevention solutions. Ever wonder why? It's because the livelihood of the industry depends on more cancer! If cancer rates plummeted by 70 percent or more, the industry would be devastated. The incomes, egos and power positions of cancer industry operators depends entirely on the continued spread of cancer among the population.
Ever notice that cancer centers are not called, "Anti-Cancer Centers?" You see them in virtually every city and state across the country: The Washington Cancer Center, or the San Francisco Cancer Center . Here in Arizona , we have a massive, new building being constructed, and it's named the Arizona Cancer Center . These are all monuments to cancer, and they are for-profit businesses constructed for the purpose of making money from a woman's disease. They turn cancer into profit, and they depend on continued cancer to stay in business.
That's why there's no real effort underway to teach women how to prevent breast cancer. There's no program in place to teach women about the anti-cancer effects of sunlight and vitamin D (in fact, cancer industry groups like the American Cancer Society run public service ads warning people about sunlight!), there's no honest effort to teach women about the natural anti-cancer medicine founds in certain foods, and no one is telling women the truth about the cancer-causing chemicals in perfumes, laundry detergent, cosmetics and personal care products.
In other words, when it comes to preventing cancer, the cancer industry is silent. Why should they say anything, anyway? If they teach women how to prevent breast cancer, they lose customers. Besides, the scheme they're running right now is working brilliantly. They maximize revenues and profits by preventing prevention and waiting for women to get cancer, then treating them with high-profit pharmaceuticals, radiation and surgical procedures. They have the easiest business model in the world: All they have to do is keep their mouths shut about what causes cancer, and wait for new customers to fill the cancer centers. And to help them out, corporations, media organizations and volunteers (many are women!) actually help them raise more money! It makes about as much sense as holding a fundraiser for Bill Gates.
It's time to teach genuine cancer prevention to women
The cancer industry has been getting away with this scam for years, but I say enough is enough. It's time to declare, "The Emperor has no clothes!" and that the best way to help protect the lives of women is to teach them how to avoid breast cancer rather than waiting for them to get it.
And doing so is surprisingly simple. All you have to do is raise awareness about the things that cause breast cancer vs. the things that prevent breast cancer. This can be done through public service announcements, information handouts, or even internet campaigns like this one.
I also suggest that all these cancer treatment centers donate 100 percent of their profits to cancer prevention campaigns. It's wrong to profit from a woman's cancer, is it not? If these businesses really cared about stopping cancer, they'd refuse to profit from the disease and, instead, use the money to help stop cancer in future generations of women (and men, for that matter).
What an idea, huh? That these ultra-wealthy non-profits and billion-dollar corporations might spend some money on teaching women how to prevent cancer...
If it ever really happens, of course, it will only be as a cover-your-ass reaction to public awareness about the corporatization of the breast cancer industry. As word spreads, these non-profits will have to do something to save their reputation, so they'll start running tiny "prevention" campaigns to save face. But underneath the facade, make no mistake: cancer is big, big business, and the cancer industry is driven by profiting from a woman's body, not protecting it from cancer.
The real answers to breast cancer prevention
Here, for the benefit of women everywhere, is a partial list of the things that cause cancer and things that don't. You're not going to find full descriptions and citations here, as that would require an entire book all by itself, but this is a very useful reference list that tells the truth about what causes or prevents cancer in the human body.
18 things that CAUSE cancer: (in no particular order)
Smoking cigarettes
Drinking non-organic milk or eating non-organic dairy products
Hydrogenated oils and trans fatty acids - See Poison In the Food or articles on hydrogenated oils
Mammography radiation - see articles on mammograms
Chemotherapy and radiation
Perfumes and fragrance products
Cosmetics and personal care products - see articles on personal care products
Home cleaning products, including laundry detergent, dryer sheets, etc.
Plastic food containers - includes plastic lining inside food cans
Sodium nitrite - found in most processed meats, see articles on sodium nitrite
Pesticides, PCBs, chlorine and other chemicals
Acrylamides (formed during high-heat food processing such as frying)
Watching television / lack of exercise
Severe emotional distress or relationship stress
Refined sugars / refined grains
Dry cleaning chemicals
Hair color chemicals
Nail polish remover
22 things that PREVENT cancer:
Vitamin D and sunshine - the Healing Power of Sunlight and Vitamin D
Anti-cancer foods - see articles about anti-cancer foods
Green tea - see articles about green tea
Broccoli and cruciferous vegetables - see articles about broccoli
Medicinal mushrooms - reishi, shiitake, agaricus blazei, etc.
Lycopene and tomatoes
Infra-red saunas and sweat lodges - because sweating expels toxins
Chlorella - see articles on chlorella, or check out a recommended chlorella product: Rejuvenate! From IntegratedHealth. com (product to be launched soon)
Pomegranate seeds - see artiles on pomegranate or http://www.ats. org/news. php?id=32
Omega-3 oils / chia seeds - available from GoodCauseWellness. com
Rainforest herbs - There are many anti-cancer rainforest herbs, including graviola and Cat's Claw (Una de Gato). Recommended sources is Terry Pezzi of the high-integrity Amazon Herb Company (also helping to preserve the Amazon rainforest) - Another great source of rainforest herbs is Rain Tree with Leslie Taylor
Juice detoxification - Read books by Dr. Gabriel Cousens or visit his retreat in Southern Arizona
Acupuncture - helps move blood and chi (body's energy)
Sprouts - ALL sprouts are anti-cancer. Best sprouting machine is the EasyGreen Automatic Sprouter (use any search engine to find resellers)
Red clover - Helps cleanse the blood. Find from any supplement maker.
Deep breathing / oxygenation / stress reduction - Best product is called Stress Eraser (highly recommended)
Yoga, Tai Chi or Pilates - These all boost lymph circulation
Cacao - (real chocolate) - Good sources are NavitasNaturals. com or Superfoods.com
Therapeutic massage - helps move lymph, boost circulation
Mint - grow your own (the easiest plant to grow)
Apricot pits / laetrile / vitamin B17 - View this World Without Cancer video featuring G. Edward Griffin
Blackberries - Most berries contain some form of anti-cancer medicine
The cancer industry attacks nearly all genuine cancer solutions
After examining this list, it's not difficult to notice something quite curious: The cancer industry promotes many things that cause cancer while attacking most things that prevent cancer. Naturopathic doctors who once prescribed laetrile for cancer patients, for example, have been run out of the country or arrested. Herbal product companies have been censored to such a degree that none dare tell the truth about the anti-cancer effects of their own products, and even broccoli growers and marketers are scared into remaining silent about the remarkable, scientifically- proven anti-cancer effects of broccoli.
In other words, if you want to know what the cancer industry supports or attacks, just check to see which list it's on. If it's on the list of things that prevent cancer, the cancer industry (including most of its doctors, oncologists, non-profits and government regulators) will be against it. If it's on the list of things that cause cancer, they will promote it.
The exception to this is, of course, tobacco. That's a substance that doctors once gladly promoted in magazine advertisements, claiming that smoking was good for your health and even improved your teeth! But today, the tobacco scam has long since been revealed, and even conventional medicine is now squarely against this substance that they once strongly promoted.
The American Medical Association, by the way, used to actually run ads for cigarettes in its flagship medical journal, JAMA. Doctors can always be bought off and made to promote whatever poison is making the most money this decade (these people have no shame). In the 1950's, it was cigarettes. Today, it's pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy. Different drugs, same scam. But money was always -- and IS always -- the bottom line for conventional medicine.

If it ever really happens, of course, it will only be as a cover-your-ass reaction to public awareness about the corporatization of the breast cancer industry. As word spreads, these non-profits will have to do something to save their reputation, so they'll start running tiny "prevention" campaigns to save face. But underneath the facade, make no mistake: cancer is big, big business, and the cancer industry is driven by profiting from a woman's body, not protecting it from cancer.
The real answers to breast cancer prevention
Here, for the benefit of women everywhere, is a partial list of the things that cause cancer and things that don't. You're not going to find full descriptions and citations here, as that would require an entire book all by itself, but this is a very useful reference list that tells the truth about what causes or prevents cancer in the human body.
18 things that CAUSE cancer: (in no particular order)
Smoking cigarettes
Drinking non-organic milk or eating non-organic dairy products
Hydrogenated oils and trans fatty acids - See Poison In the Food or articles on hydrogenated oils
Mammography radiation - see articles on mammograms
Chemotherapy and radiation
Perfumes and fragrance products
Cosmetics and personal care products - see articles on personal care products
Home cleaning products, including laundry detergent, dryer sheets, etc.
Plastic food containers - includes plastic lining inside food cans
Sodium nitrite - found in most processed meats, see articles on sodium nitrite
Pesticides, PCBs, chlorine and other chemicals
Acrylamides (formed during high-heat food processing such as frying)
Watching television / lack of exercise
Severe emotional distress or relationship stress
Refined sugars / refined grains
Dry cleaning chemicals
Hair color chemicals
Nail polish remover
22 things that PREVENT cancer:
Vitamin D and sunshine - the Healing Power of Sunlight and Vitamin D
Anti-cancer foods - see articles about anti-cancer foods
Green tea - see articles about green tea
Broccoli and cruciferous vegetables - see articles about broccoli
Medicinal mushrooms - reishi, shiitake, agaricus blazei, etc.
Lycopene and tomatoes
Infra-red saunas and sweat lodges - because sweating expels toxins
Chlorella - see articles on chlorella, or check out a recommended chlorella product: Rejuvenate! From IntegratedHealth. com (product to be launched soon)
Pomegranate seeds - see artiles on pomegranate or http://www.ats. org/news. php?id=32
Omega-3 oils / chia seeds - available from GoodCauseWellness. com
Rainforest herbs - There are many anti-cancer rainforest herbs, including graviola and Cat's Claw (Una de Gato). Recommended sources is Terry Pezzi of the high-integrity Amazon Herb Company (also helping to preserve the Amazon rainforest) - Another great source of rainforest herbs is Rain Tree with Leslie Taylor
Juice detoxification - Read books by Dr. Gabriel Cousens or visit his retreat in Southern Arizona
Acupuncture - helps move blood and chi (body's energy)
Sprouts - ALL sprouts are anti-cancer. Best sprouting machine is the EasyGreen Automatic Sprouter (use any search engine to find resellers)
Red clover - Helps cleanse the blood. Find from any supplement maker.
Deep breathing / oxygenation / stress reduction - Best product is called Stress Eraser (highly recommended)
Yoga, Tai Chi or Pilates - These all boost lymph circulation
Cacao - (real chocolate) - Good sources are NavitasNaturals. com or Superfoods.com
Therapeutic massage - helps move lymph, boost circulation
Mint - grow your own (the easiest plant to grow)
Apricot pits / laetrile / vitamin B17 - View this World Without Cancer video featuring G. Edward Griffin
Blackberries - Most berries contain some form of anti-cancer medicine
The cancer industry attacks nearly all genuine cancer solutions
After examining this list, it's not difficult to notice something quite curious: The cancer industry promotes many things that cause cancer while attacking most things that prevent cancer. Naturopathic doctors who once prescribed laetrile for cancer patients, for example, have been run out of the country or arrested. Herbal product companies have been censored to such a degree that none dare tell the truth about the anti-cancer effects of their own products, and even broccoli growers and marketers are scared into remaining silent about the remarkable, scientifically- proven anti-cancer effects of broccoli.
In other words, if you want to know what the cancer industry supports or attacks, just check to see which list it's on. If it's on the list of things that prevent cancer, the cancer industry (including most of its doctors, oncologists, non-profits and government regulators) will be against it. If it's on the list of things that cause cancer, they will promote it.
The exception to this is, of course, tobacco. That's a substance that doctors once gladly promoted in magazine advertisements, claiming that smoking was good for your health and even improved your teeth! But today, the tobacco scam has long since been revealed, and even conventional medicine is now squarely against this substance that they once strongly promoted.
The American Medical Association, by the way, used to actually run ads for cigarettes in its flagship medical journal, JAMA. Doctors can always be bought off and made to promote whatever poison is making the most money this decade (these people have no shame). In the 1950's, it was cigarettes. Today, it's pharmaceuticals and chemotherapy. Different drugs, same scam. But money was always -- and IS always -- the bottom line for conventional medicine.

one of the most prestigious herbs that helps in promoting re-growth of
the hairs. It helps in repairing the hair roots and reverses any damage
that has caused the problem.

Too Much Of A Good Thing
But don't overdo it, experts say. Eating more than two cloves of garlic a day will cause diarrhea in most people, and the same compound that gives garlic its potent scent will be released from the skin and sweat of people who overindulge.
In fact, Karen McWilliams, a registered dietitian at Bryan-LGH Hospital in Lincoln, Neb., said she's had to talk to patients who overdosed on garlic in their efforts to improve their cholesterol or cancer treatment.
"In our rehab unit, we have clients that were eating garlic every day, hoping it will change their cholesterol, " McWilliams said, adding that she took complaints from other patients. "Other clients did not want to exercise close by (because of the smell)."
McWilliams said her best advice to clients is to "eat the rainbow" -- which means choosing a variety of foods and keeping the menu fresh.
"If people are so focused on garlic -- there are so many great fruits and vegetables out there to add to recipes (and) we'll keep finding other plant benefits. I believe in the colors," McWilliams said.

"Mixed smell is sometimes perceived in foodstuffs prepared from various ingredients, such as vegetables mixed with different kinds of spices and asafoetida. Bad odors are perceived in filthy places, good smells are perceived from camphor, menthol and similar other products, pungent smells are perceived from garlic and onions, and acidic smells are perceived from turmeric and similar sour substances. The original aroma is the odor emanating from the earth, and when it is mixed with different substances, this odor appears in different ways."
SB 3.26.45, Purport
ASAFOETIDA: The aromatic resin from the root of the giant fennel, Ferula asafoetida. Asafoetida (also known as hing) is extracted from the stems of these giant perennial plants that grow wild in Central Asia. In the spring, when the plant is about to bloom, the stems and roots are cut. Milky resin exudes from the cut surface and is scraped off. More exudes as successive slices of root are removed over a period of 3 months. The gummy resin is sun-dried into a solid mass that is then sold in solid, wax-like pieces, or more conveniently, in powdered form. Due to the presence of sulphur compounds, asafoetida has a distinctive pungent flavour reminiscent of shallots or garlic. Used in minute quantities, it adds a delicious flavour to various savoury dishes. I always use the mild Vandevi brand of yellow asafoetida powder and not the grey variety. All recipes for this book using asafoetida were tested using this yellow variety. If using other varieties, reduce the quantities to one half of the suggested amount. Asafoetida is available at Indian grocers.
Forbidden foods:
"Common forbidden foods include meat, fish, eggs, onions, mushrooms, garlic, masur-dal (red lentils), burned rice, white eggplant, hemp (marijuana), citron,* saps from trees (if not boiled first), buffalo- and goat-milk products, and milk with salt in it.* Also, one should not offer canned or frozen foods to the Deity, and it is best to avoid offering foods containing unhealthy substances such as yeast and white sugar."

Comment: Of course, this is for those who wish to be very strict in brahminical practice. Most of this would have to be accepted on faith.

I have also seen a story associate with onions and garlic. Some may wish to accept these stories as actual history if that is their faith. The stories suggest that onions and garlic first appeared due to sin committed against the cow. Perhaps some know where to access these stories online.
Onions and garlic have proven to have some medicinal properties if used wisely. Some of those medicinal uses are for external usage.
I personally find it difficult to avoid onions and garlic 100% since they often appear in pre-prepared foods. I say do the best you can to avoid and don't take it so hard. There are certainly more important concern in Krsna consciousness. Some might prefer a stricter stance in regards to this type issue in Krsna consciousness.
