Human Health

This is a record of my Web Experience while hunting for info on Health and Home Medicine.

You need to always consult a good physician in order to fix the health issues you may face. At the same time take some preventive steps to avoid situations that may lead to a trouble condition. Hygiene is the most important, like brushing your teeth, having a bath, washing your face and behind your ears, never neglect your toes and feet.

Physicians also should have a compassionate attitude towards the patients. Health Care is very sacred like the Hippocratic Oath, a strong commercial attitude may disturb the priorities. Education and the Justice Departments are also Sacred, decay of these can put a country in peril.

Mosquito Malady

I know about the role of the Musq in the spread of some flu and fever, but i also suspect among them are some good ones. Like the one shown on the right. These guys are probably vaccination experts in camouflage. Maybe they prevent the rapid spread of infection thru food and water.
Mosquito Malady

If you are in Biotech Research, you could probably do some study to clear the stigma of some of the sub-species of the Musq. Yes, i was sober when i wrote this.

I also suspect some of these are Trained Mosquitoes, my theory is that - There is a group of Rebel Biotech Scientists  somewhere near the Mediterranean. They deploy batches of trained, genetically modified, programmable mosquitoes. These go around the world and collect DNA samples from random humans and return to their HQ.

Next time you see somebody very like me, it may not be me, it could be one of the Clones these guys are creating.

Later when i perchance meet my very own clone, face to face, i shall say .....

"This Town Ain't Big Enough for Both of Us"

Even this theory or a figment of my imagination has to be proved to be either fact or fiction.

Geriatrix and Health of Elderly

posted Aug 21, 2012, 10:00 PM by Anantha Narayan   [ updated Aug 22, 2012, 8:36 PM ]

"Geriatrix, the oldest member of the tribe, is living proof of the magic potion’s power to preserve! Already an old timer in “The Birth of Asterix”, this 93-year old man from Gergovia (52 B.C.) is as sprightly as they come."Geriatrix Geriatrix from Asterix

Asterix is one of the Intricate Comix, they gave value to fine detail. Funny things will be happening even in the environment, out of context.

Now that we have defined Geriatrics -  "the branch of medical science that deals with diseases and problems specific to old people" - Artha

Let us go to my ramblings ... No more funny stuff.

Sattwa - Preserves, Longevity; Rajas a cause of Disease; Tamas leads to Death. - The Gita

Try to understand the pattern, this is for middle age and old alike, but more strict for old people. It is called Vanaprastha Ashram
  1. Have a Compassionate, Content and Spiritual Family Doctor to visit you monthly and keep a tab on your health. A moderate and minimum intake of medicines should be encouraged.
  2. If Living alone, stay in groups of 12 in large house with big garden and breathing space. Even walled and Secured Communities with gardens and Vehicle/Pollution free internal roads.
  3. Many Trees and Ponds may be needed to keep the older people in a greater communion with nature and things like spirituality and philosophy. Mild Gardening and Crafts also help
  4. Keep away form TV Programs that are family, action and drama oriented. Stick to Bajan, Kirtan, even educational and cultural shows. Create your own community programs that are peaceful.
  5.  Avoid Adventurous trips, excursions and Tours to religious places and things like that. The God is in your very own Heart. Meditate, do mild Breathing and very mild Yoga, (Not Hatha Yoga)
  6. Eat Sattwic Food, Be a Vegetarian, Do not get too Spicy, Onions and Garlic very mild. Do not eat too much Fat rich, Sweet or Fried Stuff. Bake and Boil or Rinse with salt water before eating.
  7. Do not be alone, walk in the gardens and do not foray into high traffic zones. Discuss, do not argue and do not get excited or agitated. Move away from such a situation, maintain the peace.
  8. Do not party, smoke or drink, do not get into any exotic medical treatments without the consent of your family physician. Live a natural life, do not eat stale and contaminated food.  
  9. Do not use drugs that are stimulants or hormone based or even those that promise vitality and vigor. These have a big price to pay in terms of the other damage they do to your body and mind. 
  10. When at an advanced age make arrangements to have a attached bathroom and pantry to your bedroom, The bathroom should have Non-Slip Soft Floor and bars to hold on the walls.
  11. Use only safe electrical kitchen appliances in the pantry/ kitchen. No fuel based stoves or room heaters. Circuit Breakers, Earth Leakage Breakers & Fire Alarms. An UPS or Emergency Light.

Why do Kids eat Everything

posted Aug 18, 2012, 3:06 AM by Anantha Narayan

Kids have to be monitored always, Objects and Materials near kids must be Non-Toxic, Clean and also bigger than the mouth-throat.

I was reminded of this when i saw this powerful cartoon with a social-networker. Take good care of the Kids. When you take them for a walk on the road, keep them on the sidewalk side.

Soothe a Skin Itch

posted Apr 12, 2012, 8:35 PM by Anantha Narayan   [ updated Apr 12, 2012, 8:41 PM ]

Make a Solution, One part Dettol and Twenty parts water. 1:20 Diluted Skin cleaning solution. When a part of skin itches, wash this part for a few days with such a solution.

Use also cream and oil if the skin is dry, before you sleep or go out in the hot sun. Make a Pure Turmeric Paste with water and apply on skin before sleep. (turmeric leaves yellow stain on cloth)

Don't care two hoots for all the beauty or macho soaps and cosmetics. Switch to herbal and generic plain soaps. Some of these cosmetics are the cause of many skin problems, Be natural.

Skin needs a Sun, not the afternoon one. Late mornings and early evenings are great for a soft sun bath, Keep a sun bath private. 

Keep your Balance

These pages have good info - MedicineNet

The ear helps you keep your Balance while walking running, etc. We have to be careful when cleaning the ear and also use clean cotton buds.
Also use Earmuffs to protect from Loud Noise as this can cause hearing problems. When you hear music keep Volume Moderate so as to keep your ears sensitive and healthy.

Very loud music, Loud Bass close to ear, cause problems. Music Volume is healthy, when heard at an ambiance experienced in a natural live opera (no amplifier only acoustics).
