Ville bara lägga fram en liten varning… Blodtrycket kan skena… Ta det försiktigt….

År 1985 utkom en bok som heter The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth skriven av Peter Kelder Boken inehöll ett träningsprogram för ”föryngring” som används av tibetanska munkar för att leva länge.

År 1930 fanns en pensionerad Brittisk soldat vid namn Colonel Bradford han var 73år. Hade upptäckt att tibetanska munkarna såg mycket hälsosamma ut trots sin höga ålder.  Han vart nyfiken på deras hemlighet. Han bestämde sig att bosätta sig med munkarna under några år för att lära sig hemligheten.

Colonel Bradford led av ryggont och atritis. Colonel Bradford lärde sig dom Tibetanska riterna på mindre än fem minuter och praktisera dom dagligen. Efter vistelsen hos munkarna vart hans hälsa helt återställd och hans ungdom hade kommit tillbaka med 30år enligt eget utsago.

Alltid när du älskar känner du glädje. Så fort som du inte älskar kan du inte vara glädjefylld. Glädjen är en följd av kärleken, en skugga till kärleken, den följer kärleken. Bli alltså mer och mer kärleksfull, och du kommer att bli mer och mer lycklig. Bry dej inte om ifall din kärlek är besvarad eller inte, det är inte alls det som är poängen. Lyckan följer automatiskt kärleken, antingen den är besvarad eller inte, antingen den andra är tillgänglig eller inte.

Det är kärlekens skönhet, att dess resultat är inneboende, dess värde är inneboende. Kärlekens beror inte på den andras respons, den är helt och hållet din egen. Och det gör ingen skillnad mot vem du är kärleksfull – mot en hund, en katt, mot ett träd, eller ett klippblock. Sitt bara vid sidan av klippan och var kärleksfull. Ha en liten pratstund. Kyss klippan och ligg ned på den. Känn dig som ett med klippan och plötsligt kommer du att känna en energirysning, ett uppbåd av energi – och du kommer att bli enormt glad. Klippan kanske inte har återbördat någonting – eller den kanske har det, men det är inte poängen. Du blev lycklig eftersom du älskade. Den som älskar är lycklig. När du väl har den här nyckeln, kan du vara lycklig tjugofyra timmar. Om du är fylld av kärlek i tjugofyra timmar, är du inte längre beroende av att ha objekt för kärleken. Du bli mer och mer självständig – för du kan vara kärleksfull även om ingen finns där.

Du kan älska själva tomheten som omger dej. När du sitter i ett tomt rum fyller du hela rummet med din kärlek. Du må sitta i fängelse, du kan omvandla det till ett tempel inom en sekund. I samma stund som du fyller det med kärlek är det inte längre ett fängelse. Och till och med ett tempel blir ett fängelse om kärleken saknas.

Anybody Who Gives You a Belief System is Your Enemy

The Rule of a Barbarous Society

Existens

Du är ingen tillfällighet. Existens behöver dig. Utan dig kommer något att saknas, och ingen kan ersätta dig.Det är det som ger värdighet, att hela existensen saknar dig.

Stjärnorna, solen, månen, träden, fåglarna och jord, allt i universum kommer att känna att en liten plats är ledig som inte kan fyllas av någon förutom dig.

Detta ger dig glädje, en uppfyllelse som du är släkt med, och att existensen bryr sig om dig.

När du är ren och klar, kan du se en enorm kärlek falla på dig genom alla dimensioner.

Osho, God is Dead: Now Zen is the Only Living Truth Chapter 1

Existence

You are not accidental. Existence needs you. Without you something will be missing in existence
and nobody can replace it. That`s what gives you dignity, that the whole existance will
miss you.

The stars and the sun and moon the trees and birds and earth, everything in the universe will feel a small place is vacant which cannot be filled by anybody exept you.

This gives you a tremendeous joy, a fulfillment that you are related to existence, and existence cares for you.

Once you are clean and clear, you can see tremendous love falling on you from all dimensions

Ny forskning

Kudzu som introducerades i västvärlden för nära ett sekel sedan och kommer ursprungligen från länder kring Japanska havet där den anses som ett svårbekämpat ogräs. Från början importerades Kudzun för att motverka och minska jorderosionen, men nya forskningsrön påvisar även att Kudzun verkar innehålla ämnen som är gynnsamma i kampen mot alkoholism.

När vetenskapsmannen Scott Lukas bestämde sig för att forska kring detta hade han inga problem med att hitta frivilliga deltagare . Lukas och hans team vid Harvards universitets satte upp en klinisk forskningsanläggning på Mc Leans Sjukhus, anläggningen utrustades med datorer, TV-monitorer, vilstolar och ett kylskåp full med öl.

Lukas rekryterade 14 deltagare, både killar och tjejer, i 20-årsåldern, för en studie. Alla medverkande hade uppgett att de regelbundet konsumerade ungefär 3-4 drinkar om dagen. Studien gick ut på att de medverkande under 90 minuter skulle dricka öl och titta på TV.

Efter den första sessionen fick vissa av deltagarna en kapsel med kudzu medan de övriga fick placebo. Forskningsrapporten visar att försökspersonerna som hade intagit Kudzu i genomsnitt drack 1,8 st öl per tillfälle, medan de försökspersoner som intog placebo i genomsnitt drack 3,5 öl per tillfälle.

”Deltagarna var omedvetna om vilka som hade erhållit kudzu eller placebo, jag vägde deras ölglas varje gång de tog en klunk” säger Lukas. ”Vi fick på så sätt en god insikt av deras dryckesvanor” Tilläggas skall även att ingen av de medverkande verkade få någon obehaglig biverkning när de blandade kudzu med öl.

”Så vitt vi vet verkar kudzu helt säkert/biverkningsfritt” säger Lukas. ”Individuella rapporter påvisade dock att vissa av de medverkande kunde känna sig lite mer berusade/yra, men inte så pass mycket att de ramlade omkull eller gick in i väggar”

Lukas var inte helt övertygad om varför det förhöll sig på detta sätt men han trodde att det kunde bero på att Kudzun på något sätt intensifierade mängden av alkohol i blodomloppet. Med andra ord så behövde försökspersonerna ett mycket mindre alkoholintag för att uppnå en berusning. Den snabbare alkoholupptagningen verkade göra att försökspersonerna fortare blev tillfredsställda och deras önskan på mer alkohol avtog. Lukas sade ” Detta är endast en teori, men det är det bästa vi uppnått hitintills”

Reducera alkoholbehovet

Kudzu kanske inte gör alkoholister till absolutister, men Lukas hoppas ändå att Kudzu kan få  dessa storkonsumenter att minska sitt intag, m.a.o. att dricka mindre mängder alkohol.

”På så sätt har de större möjlighet att sluta dricka helt” avslutar Lukas.

Lukas studie inspirerades av Dr Wing Ming Keung, som forskade kring patologiska sjukdomar vid Harvards Medicinska forskningsinstitut. Dr Wing Ming Keung var den första forskaren som insåg Kudzuns medicinska potential.

Keung säger att han extraherat ett ämne ut Kadzuroten och han hoppas nu på att kunna ta fram en ny medicin mot alkoholism.

”Det mest akuta är att ta fram ett medicinskt preparat för att hjälpa människor som inte själva kan ta sig ur sina missbruk” avslutar Dr Keung.

”Garanterat säkert”

År 2003 kom även forskaren David Overstreet och hans team fram till samma slutsats, att Kudzu kunde ha gynnsamma effekter gällande överkonsumtion av alkohol hos möss och troligtvis även hos människor.

”Det fanns många subjektiva bevis från Kina att Kudzu kunde vara användbart vid alkoholproblematik, men detta är den första dokumenterade studien som påvisar att Kudzu kan vara behjälplig vid mänskliga alkoholproblem” säger Overstreet.   Han säger även att Lukas forskning är markbrytande.

Medicinsk marijuana botar alla möjliga sjukdomar även cancer. Marijuana har bland annat en förmåga att bryta olika blockeringar vid olika sjukdomar. Blockeringar skapar ett dåligt flöde och sjukdomar kan då få fäste i kroppen. Bra att veta är att dom flesta sjukdomar är endast symptom och inte en sjukdom så som vi ser det, utan det är nått som ständigt pågår i våra kroppar. Tyvärr är marijuana förbjudet lite förvånande med tanke på alkoholen i vårat samhälle står för våld, mord, våldtäkter, misshandel, sjukdomar mm mm.

Rick Simpson Story After a serious head injury in 1997, Rick Simpson sought relief from his medical condition through the use of medicinal hemp oil. When Rick discovered that the hemp oil (with its high concentration of T.H.C.) cured cancers and other illnesses, he tried to share it with as many people as he could free of charge. When the story went public, the long arm of the law snatched the medicine – leaving potentially thousands of people without their cancer treatments – and leaving Rick with unconsitutional charges of possessing and trafficking marijuana!

Forskare från Iowa State University vill tillsätta influensa vaccin i majs. Nu slipper du att välja? Allt serveras på ett fat till din vanliga mat.

”Vi försöker att lista ut vilka gener från svin influensaviruset skulle kunna passa i majs säger Hank Harris, professor i husdjursvetenskap och en av forskarna i projektet.

Enligt forskarna skulle majs vaccinet fungerar i människor när de äter majs eller cornflakes, majschips, tortillas eller något annat som innehåller majs, sade Mr Harris. Forskningen finansieras av ett bidrag från Iowa State University’s Plant Sciences Institute, och är deras Biopharmaceuticals och Bioindustrials Research Initiative.

Om forskningen går väl, kan vaccinet vara möjligt inom fem till sju år. Under tiden försöker man att påskynda processen. ”Medan vi väntar på den special producerande majs, bör vi inleda försök med möss som visar att vaccinet kan framkalla ett immunsvar.

Stabilitet och säkerhet med majsvaccinet har stora fördelar. När majs odlas kan det sedan lagras under lång tid utan att förlora sin styrka. Om ett svin influensa virus bryter ut, kan majs sändas till platsen för att vaccinera djur och människor i det drabbade området. Eftersom majs spannmål används som livsmedel och foder finns det inget behov av omfattande vaccineringsprogram, vilket kan vara en kostsam process.

Ancient Egyptian Medicine – Smith Papyrus – Ebers Papyrus

The practices of Egyptian physicians ranged from embalming, to faith healing to surgery, and autopsy. There was not the separation of Physician, Priest and Magician in Egypt. It would not be unusual for a patient to receive a bandage for a dog bite, for example, a paste of berries and honey and a incantation said over the wound as well as a magical amulet for the patient to wear. Healing was an art that was addressed on many levels.

The use of Autopsy came through the extensive embalming practices of the Egyptians, as it was not unlikely for an embalmer to examine the body for a cause of the illness which killed it. The use of surgery also evolved from a knowledge of the basic anatomy and embalming practices of the Egyptians. From such careful observations made by the early medical practitioners of Egypt, healing practices began to center upon both the religious rituals and the lives of the ancient Egyptians.

The prescription for a healthy life, (which was almost always given by a member of the priestly caste meant that an individual undertook the stringent and regular purification rituals (which included much bathing, and often times shaving one’s head and body hair), and maintained their dietary restrictions against raw fish and other animals considered unclean to eat.

Also, and in addition to a purified lifestyle, it was not uncommon for the Egyptians to undergo dream analysis to find a cure or cause for illness, as well as to ask for a priest to aid them with magic, this example obviously portrays that religious magical rites and purificatory rites were intertwined in the healing process as well as in creating a proper lifestyle.

The practice of medicine was fairly advanced in Ancient Egypt, with Egyptian physicians having a wide and excellent reputation.

The Egyptians thought that most illnesses – at least those caused by no obvious accident – were the work of hostile powers: ‘an adversary male or female, a spirit or a dead person’ and it was for this reason that magicians, as well as physicians were concerned with curing the ills of the populace.

Insect, especially scorpion bites or snake bites, both very frequent in Egypt, were treated by magicians, as there appears to have been no specific balm or ointment used, and as we have records of many spells, written on papyri and magical charms devoted to these two occurrences.

Much documentation exists that in addition to magicians, useful in the villages and countryside, there existed a much less primitive form of medicine.

Texts of the time frequently mention doctors, oculists, dentists and other specialists, including veterinarians.

Doctors and other medical personnel kept detailed notes (on papyrus) describing the condition encountered, and the treatment applied in all areas of medicine, including gynecology, bone surgery and eye complaints, the latter of which was very frequent in the dry, dusty climate of the country.

Texts on anatomy and physiology exist, showing a degree of knowledge of the workings of the human body, its structure, the job of the heart and blood vessels, including, the ‘treatise of the heart’ contained in the Ebers Papyrus. However, despite the process of mummification, familization with the human body was not as highly developed as would be expected and many fantastic and fanciful definitions and descriptions may be found in the Ancient texts.

Ancient Egyptians knew little about the existence, for instance, of the kidneys and made the heart the meeting point of a number of vessels which carried all the fluids of the body (from blood, which is correct), to tears, urine and sperm (which is less so).

Many prescriptions exist today, showing treatment of many disorders and the use of a variety of substances, plant, animal, mineral, as well as the droppings and urine of a number of animals (pelicans, hippopotami, etc.), which were present in large numbers along the Nile. Honey and milk were routinely prescribed by physicians for the treatment of the respiratory system, and throat irritations. The physicians of the day knew how to use suppositories, herbal dressings and enemas and widely used castor oil.

Medications used for the urinary tract show that they, as do their modern Egyptians, suffered from bilharzia (a parasite). Head injuries were routinely, and it would appear, successfully treated by trepenning, the opening of the skull to relieve pressure, migraines, which were attributed to dental trouble and accidents involving the eye. Teeth were filled using a type of mineral cement, and gum disease were also treated.

Gold was used to bind loose teeth, and the jaw-bone was at times perforated to drain abscesses. As eye disease was a big problem, due to dust, flies and poor hygiene, many prescriptions have been found, to cure trachoma (endemic to this day in Egypt), cataract and a form of night blindness. This last aliment was correctly treated using animal liver, as, to this day, extracts of liver are also used.

Bone surgery was particularly well developed, researching the proportions of scientific research. The Papyrus of Edwin Smith deals extensively with bruises of the vertebra, dislocation of the jaws, various fractures (of the clavicle, humerus, ribs, nose and cranium. Egyptians physicians also recognized diseases which could not be treated: ”An affliction for which nothing can be done”.

Although many of the treatments used had little or no value (from our modern vantage-point), Egyptian medicine had a well deserved reputation throughout the Ancient World, with, for instance, Hippocrates and Galan acknowledging that part of their information came from Egyptian works which they had studied at the temple of Imhotep at Memphis.

Sanctuaries of the Gods often had sanatoria attached to them, allowing physicians, and physician-priests to treat the pilgrims, and perform ”miraculous healings”, and the publicizing of the cures performed by Amenhotep, son of Hapu, Imhotep and Serapis, further spreading the fame of Egyptian medical science.

The Edwin Smith Papyrus

The Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus is, without a doubt, one if the most important documents pertaining to medicine in the ancient Nile Valley.

It was written around1700 BC but most of the information is based on texts written around 2640 BC – Imhoteps time.

The papyrus appears to talk mainly about wounds, and how to treat them, and suprisingly little about diseases.

Placed on sale by Mustafa Agha in 1862, the papyrus was purchased by Edwin Smith. An American residing in Cairo, Smith has been described as an adventurer, a money lender, and a dealer of antiquities. Smith has also been reputed as advising upon, and even practicing, the forgery of antiquities. Whatever his personal composition, it is to his credit that he immediately recognized the text for what it was and later carried out a tentative translation. Upon his death in 1906, his daughter donated the papyrus in its entirety to the New York Historical Society.

In 1930, James Henry Breasted, director of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, published the papyri with facsimile, transcription, English translation, commentary, and introduction. The volume was accompanied by medical notes prepared by Dr. Arno B. Luckhardt. To date, the Breasted translation is the only one if its kind.

The Edwin Smith papyrus is second in length only to the Ebers papyrus, comprising seventeen pages (377 lines) on the recto and five pages (92 lines) on the verso. Both the recto and the verso are written with the same hand in a style of Middle Egyptian dating.

The Ebers Papyrus

Like the Edwin Smith Papyrus, the Ebers Papyrus was purchased in Luxor by Edwin Smith in 1862. It is unclear from whom the papyrus was purchased, but it was said to have been found between the legs of a mummy in the Assassif district of the Theben necropolis.

The papyrus remained in the collection of Edwin Smith until at least 1869 when there appeared, in the catalog of an antiquities dealer, and advertisement for ”a large medical papyrus in the possession of Edwin Smith, an American farmer of Luxor.”(Breasted 1930) The Papyrus was purchased in 1872 by the Egyptologist George Ebers, for who it is named. In 1875, Ebers published a facsimile with an English-Latin vocabulary and introduction.

The Ebers Papyrus comprises 110 pages, and is by far the most lengthy of the medical papyri. It is dated by a passage on the verso to the 9th year of the reign of Amenhotep I (c. 1534 B.C.E.), a date which is close to the extant copy of the Edwin Smith Papyrus. However, one portion of the papyrus suggests a much earlier origin. Paragraph 856a states that : ”the book of driving wekhedu from all the limbs of a man was found in writings under the two feet of Anubis in Letopolis and was brought to the majesty of the king of Upper and Lower Egypt Den.”(Nunn 1996: 31) The reference to the Lower Egyptian Den is a historic anachronism which suggesting an origin closer to the First Dynasty (c. 3000 B.C.E.)

Unlike the Edwin Smith Papyrus, the Ebers Papyrus consists of a collection of a myriad of different medical texts in a rather haphazard order, a fact which explains the presence of the above mentioned excerpt. The structure of the papyrus is organized by paragraph, each of which are arranged into blocks addressing specific medical ailments.

Paragraphs 1-3 contain magical spells designed to protect from supernatural intervention on diagnosis and treatment. They are immediately followed by a large section on diseases of the stomach (khet), with a concentration on intestinal parasites in paragraphs 50-85.(Bryan 1930:50) Skin diseases, with the remedies prescribed placed in the three categories of irritative, exfoliative, and ulcerative, are featured in paragraphs 90-95 and 104-118.

Diseases of the anus, included in a section of the digestive section, are covered in paragraphs 132-164.(Ibid. 50) Up to paragraph 187, the papyrus follows a relatively standardized format of listing prescriptions which are to relieve medical ailments. However, the diseases themselves are often more difficult to translate. Sometimes they take the form of recognizable symptoms such as an obstruction, but often may be a specific disease term such as wekhedu or aaa, the meaning of both of which remain quite obscure.

Paragraphs 188-207 comprise ”the book of the stomach,” and show a marked change in style to something which is closer to the Edwin Smith Papyrus.(Ibid.: 32) Only paragraph 188 has a title, though all of the paragraphs include the phrase: ”if you examine a man with aŠ,” a characteristic which denotes its similarity to the Edwin Smith Papyrus. From this point, a declaration of the diagnosis, but no prognosis. After paragraph 207, the text reverts to its original style, with a short treatise on the heart (Paragraphs 208-241).

Paragraphs 242-247 contains remedies which are reputed to have been made and used personally by various gods. Only in paragraph 247, contained within the above mentioned section and relating to Isis’ creation of a remedy for an illness in Ra’s head, is a specific diagnosis mentioned. (Bryan 1930:45)

The following section continues with diseases of the head, but without reference to use of remedies by the gods. Paragraph 250 continues a famous passage concerning the treatment of migraines. The sequence is interrupted in paragraph 251 with the focus placed on a drug rather than an illness. Most likely an extract from pharmacopoeia, the paragraph begins: ”Knowledge of what is made from degem (most likely a ricinous plant yielding a form of castor oil), as something found in ancient writings and as something useful to man.”(Nunn 1996: 33)

Paragraphs 261-283 are concerned with the regular flow of urine and are followed by remedies ”to cause the heart to receive bread.”(Bryan 1930:80). Paragraphs 305-335 contain remedies for various forms of coughs as well as the genew disease.

The remainder of the text goes on to discuss medical conditions concerning hair (paragraphs 437-476), traumatic injuries such as burns and flesh wounds (paragraphs 482-529), and diseases of the extremities such as toes, fingers, and legs. Paragraphs 627-696 are concerned with the relaxation or strengthening of the metu. The exact meaning of metu is confusing and could be alternatively translated as either mean hollow vessels or muscles tissue.(Ibid.:52)

The papyrus continues by featuring diseases of the tongue (paragraphs 697-704), dermatological conditions (paragraphs 708-721), dental conditions (paragraphs 739-750), diseases of the ear, nose, and throat (paragraphs 761-781), and gynecological conditions (paragraphs 783-839)

Kahun Gynecological PapyrusThe Kahun Papyrus was discovered by Flinders Petrie in April of 1889 at the Fayum site of Lahun. The town itself flourished during the Middle Kingdom, principally under the reign of Amenenhat II and his immediate successor.

The papyrus is dated to this period by a note on the recto which states the date as being the 29th year of the reign of Amenenhat III (c. 1825 B.C.E.). The text was published in facsimile, with hieroglyphic transcription and translation into English, by Griffith in 1898, and is now housed in the University College London.

The gynecological text can be divided into thirty-four paragraphs, of which the first seventeen have a common format.(Nunn 1996: 34) The first seventeen start with a title and are followed by a brief description of the symptoms, usually, though not always, having to do with the reproductive organs.

The second section begins on the third page, and comprises eight paragraphs which, because of both the state of the extant copy and the language, are almost unintelligible. Despite this, there are several paragraphs that have a sufficiently clear level of language as well as being intact which can be understood.

Paragraph 19 is concerned with the recognition of who will give birth; paragraph 20 is concerned with the fumigation procedure which causes conception to occur; and paragraphs 20-22 are concerned with contraception. Among those materials prescribed for contraception are crocodile dung, 45ml of honey, and sour milk.

The third section (paragraphs 26-32) is concerned with the testing for pregnancy. Other methods include the placing of an onion bulb deep in the patients flesh, with the positive outcome being determined by the odor appearing to the patients nose.

The fourth and final section contains two paragraphs which do not fall into any of the previous categories. The first prescribes treatment for toothaches during pregnancy. The second describes what appears to be a fistula between bladder and vagina with incontinence of urine ”in an irksome place.”

Bacterial and Viral InfectionsTuberculosis (Mycobacterium tuberculosis)

Ruffer (1910) reported the presence of tuberculosis of the spine in Nesparehan, a priest of Amun of the 21st Dynasty. This shows the typical features of Pott’s disease with collapse of thoracic vertebra, producing the angular kyphosis (hump-back). A well known complication of Pott’s disease is the tuberculous suppuration moving downward under the psoas major muscle, towards the right iliac fossa, forming a very large psoas abscess.(Nunn 1996:64)

Ruffer’s report has remained the best authenticated case of spinal tuberculosis from ancient Egypt. All known possible cases, ranging from the Predynastic to 21st Dynasty were reviewed by Morse, Brockwell, and Ucko (1964) as well as by Buikstra, Baker, and Cook.(1993) These included Predynastic specimens collected at Naqada by Petrie and Quibell in 1895 as well as nine Nubian Specimens from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Both reviewers were in agreement that there was very little doubt that tuberculosis was the cause of pathology in most, but not all, cases. In some cases, it was not possible to exclude compression fractures, osteomyelitis, or bone cysts as causes of death.

The numerous artistic representation of hump-backed individuals are provocative but not conclusive. The three earliest examples are undoubtedly of Predynastic origin. The first is a ceramic figurine reported to have been found by Bedu in the Aswan district. It represents an emaciated human with angular kyphosis of the thoracic spine crouching in a clay vessel.(Schrumph-Pierron 1933) The second possible Predynastic representation with spinal deformity indicative of tuberculosis is a small standing ivory likeness of a human with arms down at the sides of the body bent at the elbows.

The head is modeled with facial features carefully indicated. The figure is shown with a protrusion of the back and on the chest.(Morse 1967: 261) The last Predynastic example is a wooden statue contained within the Brussels Museum. Described as a bearded male with intricate facial features, the figure has a large rounded hunch-back and an angular projection of the sternum.(Jonckheere 1948: 25)

As well, there are several historic Egyptian representations which indicate the possibility of tuberculosis deformity. One of the most suggestive, located in and Old Kingdom 4th Dynasty tomb, is of a bas relief serving girl who exhibits localized angular kyphosis. A second provocative example has its origin in the Middle Kingdom. A tomb painting at Beni Hasan, the representation shows a gardener with a localized angular deformity of the cervical-thoracic spine.(Morse 1967: 263)

Poliomyelitis

A viral infection of the anterior horn cells of the spinal chord, the presence of poliomyelitis can only be detected in those who survive its acute stage. Mitchell (Sandison 1980:32) noted the shortening of the left leg, which he interpreted as poliomyelitis, in the an early Egyptian mummy from Deshasheh. The club foot of the Pharaoh Siptah as well as deformities in the 12th Dynasty mummy of Khnumu-Nekht are probably the most attributable cases of poliomyelitis.

An 18th or 19th Dynasty funerary staele shows the doorkeeper Roma with a grossly wasted and shortened leg accompanied by an equinus deformity of the foot. The exact nature of this deformity, however, is debated in the medical community.

Some favor the view that this is a case of poliomyelitis contracted in childhood before the completion of skeletal growth. The equinus deformity, then, would be a compensation allowing Roma to walk on the shortened leg. Alternatively, the deformity could be the result of a specific variety of club foot with a secondary wasting and shortening of the leg.(Nunn 1996: 77)

DeformitiesDwarfism:

Dasen (1993) lists 207 known representations of dwarfism. Of the types described, the majority are achondroplastic, a form resulting in a head and trunk of normal size with shortened limbs. The statue of Seneb is perhaps the most classic example. A tomb statue of the dwarf Seneb and his family, all of normal size, goes a long way to indicate that dwarfs were accepted members in Egyptian society. Other examples called attention to by Ruffer (1911) include the 5th Dynasty statuette of Chnoum-hotep from Saqqara, a Predynastic drawing of the ”dwarf Zer” from Abydos, and a 5th Dynasty drawing of a dwarf from the tomb of Deshasheh.

Skeletal evidence, while not supporting the social status of dwarfs in Egyptian society, does corroborate the presence of the deformity. Jones described a fragmentary Predynastic skeleton from the cemetery at Badari with a normal shaped cranium both in size in shape. In contrast to this, however, the radii and ulna are short and robust, a characteristic of achondroplasia. A second case outlined by Jones consisted of a Predynastic femur and tibia, both with typical short shafts and relatively large articular ends.

Magic, medicine eased ancient Egyptian headachesJanuary 2002 – Reuters – NY

Can’t beat that headache? Why not try an incantation to falcon-headed Horus, or a soothing poultice of ”Ass’s grease”? According to researchers, 3,500-year-old papyri show ancient Egyptians turning to both their gods and medicine to banish headache pain.

”The border between magic and medicine is a modern invention; such distinctions did not exist for ancient healers,” explain Dr. Axel Karenberg, a medical historian, and Dr. C. Leitz, an Egyptologist, both of the University of Cologne, Germany.

In a recent issue of the journal Cephalalgia, the researchers report on their study of papyrus scrolls dating from the early New Kingdom period of Egyptian history, about 1550 BC.

Ancient Egyptian healers had only the barest understanding of anatomy or medicine. Indeed, while the head was considered the ”leader” of the body, the brain itself was considered relatively unimportant–as evidenced by the fact that it was usually discarded during the mummification process.

Headache, that timeless bane of humanity, was usually ascribed to the activity of ”demons,” the German researchers write, although over time Egyptian physicians began to speculate that problems originating within the body, such as the incomplete digestion of food, might also be to blame.

Once beset with a headache, those living under the pharaohs turned to their gods for help. One incantation sought to evoke the gods’ empathy, imagining that even immortals suffered headache pain.

”‘My head! My head!’ said Horus,” reads one papyrus. ”‘The side of my head!’ said Thoth. ‘Ache of my forehead,’ said Horus. ‘Upper part of my forehead!’ said Thoth.”

In this way, Karenberg and Leitz write, ”the patient is identified with (the gods) Horus and Thoth,” the latter being the god of magicians and wise men.

The incantation continues with the sun god Ra ordering the patient to recover ”up to your temples,” while the patient threatens his ”headache demons” with terrible punishments (”the trunk of your body will be cut off”).

Still, the gods may have ignored the pleas of many patients, who also turned to medicine for relief. According to one ancient text, these included a poultice made of ”skull of catfish,” with the patient’s head being ”rubbed therewith for four days.”

Other prescriptions included stag’s horn, lotus, frankincense and a concoction made from donkey called ”Ass’s grease.”

Even these remedies could be divinely inspired, however. On one 4,000-year-old scroll, a boastful druggist claims that his headache cure is prepared by the goddess Isis herself.

CRYSTALINKS MAIN PAGE

In late 1981, I was a drunk.  A fifth-of-Jim-Beam-a-day drunk.  I’d been seriously at it for six years, and an occasional drinker for many years before that.  I knew it couldn’t go on forever, but I also knew the 12-step program wouldn’t work for me.

I chanced to meet a Houston physician, William Packard Bonin, who told me he had developed a cure for alcoholism.  He was a great storyteller, and laid one on me.

I had some reservations about the story, but knew I had to quit.  I took his cure.  And in 30 minutes, he cured me of alcoholism.  I’ve been dry ever since – over 22 years now.

Dr. Bonin, then 75 and since deceased, told me he was a Cajun, originally from Louisiana.  He spoke Cajun French, and thought it would be nice to do an internship in France.  He was accepted at the American Hospital in Paris.  That was in the 1930’s.

During the time he was there, he was called in by another physician to consult on a particularly difficult case.  A patient was slowly dying of some infection, and didn’t respond to treatment.  Antibiotics were still in the future.

After examining her and reviewing her chart, Dr. Bonin suggested a last-ditch treatment.  He got approval from the attending physician and from the patient, although he carefully said he wasn’t sure it would help.

The patient quickly recovered, was discharged, and Dr. Bonin forgot all about the incident.

After his internship, he came back to the U.S., practiced in New Orleans, and was then drafted in World War II.  After the war, he decided to start a practice in Houston.  He was certified in internal medicine, and for years was on the staff of Baylor Medical College in Houston.

In the 1950’s, he went to the American Medical Association convention, which was in Denver that year.  He took his wife along.  When he registered at the convention hotel, he was given a letter that had been waiting for his arrival.

The letter began, “You may not remember me, but you treated me at the American Hospital in Paris years ago.  You saved my life, and I’d like to thank you by inviting you and your wife to my home for dinner.  The convention doesn’t start until tomorrow, so I’ll send my driver to pick you up in front of the hotel at 7 tonight.

“I found you through the hotel’s reservation department.  I own the hotel.  Please come.”

He was surprised, and curious enough to go.  He asked his wife, and she was also curious.  The lady’s name meant nothing to him. [We shall refer to her as Mrs C. Her family was one of the biggest brewers of alcohol in America.]

A  limousine picked them up at the appointed time, and drove to nearby Boulder.  It stopped in front of a large mansion.  The lady came out to greet them. Once inside, she offered them cocktails, and then he told her, “Frankly, ma’am, I don’t remember treating you.  What was it you had?”

She said she had some kind of infection, and seemed to be dying.  “Not only did you cure me, but you also cured me of my alcoholism.”

“I did what?” he said.  She repeated that he had cured her of alcoholism.  She explained that the whole time she’d been in the hospital, her friends had been sneaking booze to her.

The Bonins had a fine evening with the lady, who was a Mrs. C.  As they left, she said, “Oh, by the way, your money is no good in Denver.  Your hotel suite is taken care of, and if your wife would like to do some shopping, just charge it to the hotel at any downtown store by showing your room key.”

Dr. Bonin racked his brain, but couldn’t recall having met the lady before, nor could he recall what treatment he had prescribed for her.  When he got back to Houston, though, he called the hospital in Paris to ask if they had records that far back.  They said they did, but would have to send someone out to a warehouse where old records were stored.   They promised to send him Mrs. C’s file.

Once the packet came from Paris, he looked through it, and found it hard to believe that the treatment he had prescribed so long before would have cured her of alcoholism.  Nonetheless, he decided to investigate further.  He had a patient that he knew to be an alcoholic, and approached him on this possible cure.  The man agreed to give it a try.

Sure enough, it worked right off.  That led to treatment of several other people.  The treatment involved intra-venous infusion of a formula he had mixed himself.  Subsequently, he learned that an identical formula was available through the American Hospital Supply Corporation, an ethical firm.  It had been approved by the FDA in 1943 for the treatment of delirium tremens.

He told me that it was best to begin treatment on a Monday morning.  I could have all I wanted to drink on Sunday, but must come to his office at 8 on Monday cold sober.  That was the hardest part for me.  Normally, I had bourbon in my morning coffee, then sipped from a bottle on the way to work.  At the office, I kept a jug in my desk drawer.  I drank my way through the day, sipping until bedtime.  I was able to function and do my job, and luckily was never stopped by a cop.  I was never falling-down drunk, but I had a good buzz on at all times.

I walked in his office on Monday, December 1, 1981 a drunk, and walked out 30 minutes later an ex-alcoholic.  Not a recovering one, but an ex.  No detoxing, no willpower, no preaching.

Truth to tell, although the effect was immediate, I had to go back at 10 that morning for a reinforcing treatment.  And twice again the next day, Tuesday.  Then once a day through Friday, then off for the weekend.  The following Monday, I resumed treatment, but only once a day through the second week …. with a decreasing dosage each time.

The best comparison I can make to the effect of the treatment is one we’ve all had – you have a favorite food, and eat it at every opportunity for years.  Then eventually, you decide you don’t like it any more.  No reason, you just don’t.  That’s the way I felt about alcohol, from the first treatment …. and ever since, a total of 23 years and counting.  Dr. Bonin said it was all right to go to bars with friends, but just to order a soft drink.  “They’ll salute you,” he added.  And they did, even my old drunken buddies.

I still have the bottle of Jim Beam that I was working on when I got this miracle cure.  It’s about half full.  I also have bottles of scotch, vodka and gin that I kept on hand for guests.  We don’t often have anyone over, but when we do, I can mix drinks for them and not be in the least tempted to have one myself.

What is this miracle cure?  It’s a product called HyperTonic.  You won’t believe the ingredients -85% distilled water, 10% glucose, and 5% alcohol – that’s right, alcohol.  Apparently, administering it intravenously had a completely different effect than drinking it.  Of course, the quantity infused was small.  Far less than a single shot of whiskey, and decreasing steadily after the first day.

Where can you get this treatment?  Nowhere that I know.  First, you’d have to talk a physician into giving it to you.  In truth, a nurse could do it, but she’d have to have a source of HyperTonic and IV needles and equipment.  HyperTonic comes packaged for infusion.  It can’t be expensive – a wild guess, not over $20 for a two-liter bottle, which is more than you’d need.

If you can find someone to administer it to you, remember to start on a Monday morning, without a drink since the night before.  Here is the dosage schedule:

Monday – 220 ml at 8 a.m., another 220 ml at 10 a.m.

Tuesday – 200 ml at 8 a.m., another 200 ml at 10 a.m.

Wednesday – 200 ml at 8 a.m.

Thursday – 180 ml at 8 a.m.

Friday – 160 ml at 8 a.m.

Skip weekend.

Monday – 140 ml at 8 a.m.

Tuesday – 120 ml at 8 a.m.

Wednesday – 100 ml at 8 a.m.

Thursday – 80 ml at 8 a.m.

Friday – 80 ml at 8 a.m.

Dr. Bonin told me he had successfully treated several hundred people.  He had been unable to convince any other physicians that his cure could work.  I can understand that, because I recommended it to any number of my friends, and found no takers.

So far as I am aware, he never did a double-blind test, or wrote the treatment up for publication.

Låga nivåer av vitamin D bland astma patienter är associerade med nedsatt lungfunktion och sämre respons vid medicinering, visar en ny studie vid National Jewish Health. Studien tyder på att vitamin D spelar en betydande roll vid astma och medicinering, säger Rand Sutherland, MD, MPH, ansvarig för Pulmonell Division på National Jewish Health. ”Detta väcker möjligheten att D-vitamin tillskott till astma patienter med låga nivåer av D-vitamin kan förbättra sin astma.” Forskarna publicerade sina rön i American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.

D-vitamin har länge setts som avgörande för benhälsa. Nyligen har D-vitamin sägas kunna hjälpa till vid influenser till cancer. Men flera rapporter pekar på att människor faktiskt får i sig mindre D-vitamin än tidigare.

Inhalations steroider är de mest effektiva som astmamediciner, och kan hjälpa majoriteten av patienterna att kontrollera sin sjukdom. Men enskilda patienter reagerar olika på mediciner, och många som inte uppnår optimal kontroll trots hög dosering av steroider. Förslag om att tillsätta vitamin D kan göra så att man svarar bättre på medicinering.

Forskarna utvärderade 54 vuxna med astma. De fann att högre nivåer av vitamin D var förknippade med bättre lungfunktion, patienter kunde andas ut ytterligare 21 milliliter luft per sekund för varje ng / mL ökning av vitamin D-nivåer. Patienter med vitamin D-nivåer under 30 ng / ml hade luftvägarna som var nästan dubbelt så känslig.

Forskarna fann också att högre kropps massindex var associerad med lägre vitamin D-nivåer, vilket tyder på att övervikt och fetma bland astmatiker kan tänkas uppleva svårare astma av låga nivåer av vitamin D.

”Nästa fråga att besvara är om att ge extra D-vitamin leder till klinisk förbättring hos patienter med astma. Vi utvecklar prospektiva studier för att svara på det.”

National Jewish Hälsa är världskänt för behandling av patienter med lung-, hjärt-, immunförsvar och liknande sjukdomar, och för banbrytande medicinsk forskning. Grundades 1899 som en ideell sjukhus, förblir National Jewish den enda anläggningen i världen avsedda enbart för dessa sjukdomar. 12 år i följd, har US News & World Report rankas National Jewish på som nr 1 när det gäller sjukdomar i luftvägarna.

Indisk läkare Dr Naram ger tips hur du på ett enkelt sätt lindrar astma och varför du har astma

http://www.karolinska.se/s/press-nyheter/nyhetslista/Silverforband-mot-brannskador/

På Astrid Lindgrens Barnsjukhus använder man sig sedan sju år av silverförband som avger bakteriedödande silverjoner i såren. Detta minskar kraftigt risken för infektioner, vilket har lett till minskad användning av antibiotika och vårdtiderna har i snitt  kortats från elva till två dagar.

Varje år tar Astrid Lindgrens Barnsjukhus emot över 400 brännskadade barn, de flesta skållade av hett vatten. Silverförbanden har lett till stora förbättringar i vården av brännskadade barn och kostnaderna har minskat med uppskattningsvis 40 000 kronor per inlagd patient.

– Vi har inte haft någon livshotande infektion sedan förbanden infördes, säger Ole Strand, biträdande överläkare på barnakutkliniken vid Astrid Lindgrens Barnsjukhus.

Samma resultat rapporteras från andra delar av världen där förbanden används. Det innebär förvisso inte att sjukhusen kommer att vara helt förskonade från riktigt allvarliga infektioner men resultaten tyder på att de är kraftigt reducerade.

Färre hudtransplantationer och mindre antibiotika
Idag behöver cirka en tredjedel färre patienter genomgå hudtransplantationer. Såret får läka av sig självt så långt det går innan en transplantation blir aktuell. Förr genomfördes transplantationer i ett tidigt skede för att ligga före infektionen men eftersom färre patienter drabbas av infektioner kan man nu vänta ut den naturliga läkningen vilket tar ungefär två veckor. Området som sedan behöver transplantation är oftast ganska litet.

Som en följd av detta kan användningen av antibiotika minimeras. Av de brännskadepatienter som enbart söker öppenvård har andelen som fått antibiotika utskrivet minskat från åtta procent till sex promille, och för de transplanterade patienterna har användningen minskat från 94 till 32 procent.

– Än så länge har inga av våra egna patienter haft MRSA och vi känner att vi med våra behandlingsrutiner är med på att bromsa utvecklingen av multiresistenta bakterier, säger Ole Strand.

Nanoteknologi
Silvret finns i förbandet i form av nanokristaller. Varje kristall är cirka 15 nanometer stor. Detta medför en enorm yta i förhållande till mängden silver. Silverjoner frigörs från denna stora yta och det blir en hög bakteriedödande koncentration silverjoner i såret.

Silver är egentligen ett miljögift och måste därför hanteras rätt. Det handlar dock om så små doser att miljöpåverkan blir försumbar. På sjukhusen tas använda förband omhand som sjukhussopor så att det inte kommer ut i naturen.

Nya användningsområden?
På Astrid Lindgrens Barnsjukhus används silverförbanden nästan uteslutande för brännskador på barn men Ole Strand ser en enorm potential inom annan sårvård, exempelvis diabetessår.

– Det är lika effektivt mot infektioner på alla sår. Man sparar in på arbetskostnader och ger patienter med kroniska sår som ”aldrig” läker med traditionella metoder möjligheter för ett bra liv. Det blir helt enkelt riktigt lönsamt att använda ett till synes dyrt förband för att spara pengar och inte minst lidande för patienterna.

Greensparrow kommenterar

Kolloidalt silver är det bästa man kan använda för brännskador och övrig såbehandling även infektioner, greensparrow kommer att tipsa hur man använder kolloidalt silver på det bästa sättet…

Kollidalt silver stoppar smärta ganska omgående oftast inom 1tim, tar man silver direkt på brännskadan uppstår i regel varken smärta eller ett spår av att man blivit bränd sig inom 1-2tim.

För att få önskad effekt måste silvret ligga på hela tiden i det akuta skedet av en brännskada, kökshandduk eller mindre trasa. Fukta trasan och lägg på skadan tills smärtan försvinner. Man kan även ta hushållspapper fukta och lägg skadan, häll silver på pappret då och då.

När det gäller silver utvärtes finns inga begränsningar risken är större att man tar för lite än för mycket.

Silver tas med framgång vid olika infektioner i underlivet.

Sårigt,kliar eller känsligt underliv blir hjälpt av silver till 99,9%. Urinvägsinfektioner hejdas omedelbart och en utläkning påbörjas oftast är man bra inom 3dgr om man dricker och sprutar silver i underlivet.Man dricker 1×3msk per dag och sprutar med liten sprayflaska så mycket man vill i underlivet,  ju mera desto bättre. Tjejer kan ha ett helvete med att det kliar i underliver vid olika infektioner speciellt urinvägsinfektion, rätt använt försvinner smärta och kliande inom några minuter. MIRAKEL! =)

Finns inget som är så effektiv som silver mot ovanstående inte ens penicillin.

Mättat fett är inte farligt för hjärtat

Karin Schenck Gustafsson har i Aftonbladet den 31/3 uttalat sig att LCHF ( Low Carb-High Fat) skulle orsaka ökad risk för hjärtinfarkt. Detta baserar hon på erfarenheten att en av hennes patienter som ätit LCHF fått hjärtinfarkt, och då uppvisade höga kolesterolvärden.

Om man ska ta reda på huruvida det är LCHF, med naturliga fetter – eller lågfettkost, med margariner – som ger högsta risken för hjärtinfarkt, måste man göra riktiga jämförande kontrollerade studier. Det är helt ovetenskapligt att ta ett enstaka exempel som bevis för något.

En sådan jämförande studie finns det: Karlshamnsstudien. Där tittade man på långtidsresultatet avseende hjärtsjukdom hos överviktiga typ 2-diabetiker. Lågfettgruppen fick hjärtsjukdom i 80 procent medan ingen i lågkolhydratgruppen fick det, inom 3,5 år

Varför du ska äta kokt mat!

En av dom största misstagen som vi gör när det gäller mat är att vi äter ett slags mellanting, riktig mat kokas länge och är välkokt utan att det är sönderkokt. När vi äter mat, äter vi frekvenser dom frekvenser som vi behöver ska beblandas med vätska. Vätskan tar åt sig frekvenserna och kroppen kan tillgodogöra sig näringen genom vätskan.

När du äter mat som är ett slags mellanting där ingen vätska finns, kan kroppen inte tillgodogöra sig näringen på rätt sätt, och inte alltför sällan uppstår det olika magproblem och senare sjukdomar.

Det är enkelt att äta rätt genom att börja tillaga mera soppor och grytor som får puttra på spisen under 1-3tim får du fram näringen som din kropp behöver.

När man gör olika örttinkturer kan man koka örterna för att få ut det nyttiga och läkande, det är samma med mat koka maten utan att sönderkoka en behaglig mättnadskänsla och tillfredsställelse uppstår.

På det här sättet får du äntligen fram det läkande ur alla möjliga kryddor och örter och du kommer även att märka vad lite ingredienser det krävs för en fullgod middag. Tyvärr har även det alternativa missförstått med att koka maten, näringen försvinner inte utan näringen får en annan form som finns i vätskan, frekvenser beblandas så att kroppen tar åt sig näringen på ett riktigt sätt.

Tycker om kött så kan man göra olika kött/kycklingsoppor med den rätta näringsformen.

Ett recept på en kinesisk odödlighetssoppa skulle kokas i 24tim innan man åt den, tyvärr har jag slarvat bort receptet =)

Prova gärna med det här enkla receptet och du kommer att bli förvånad:

Ingredienser
-Morot
-Rotselleri (lika stor som moroten)
-Djupfryst persilja
-Krossade tomater

Kryddor
-Paprika
-Nässla
-Nypon
-Chilipulver
-Basilika
-Ingefära
-Spirulina
-Olivolja
-Örtsalt

Det här är bara förslag använd kryddor efter din smak.

Tillagning

Tärna moroten och rotselleri i små bitar.
Ta fram en kastrull
Häll i olivolja i kastrullen
Häll i moroten och sellerin i kastrullen
Woka grönsakerna lätt i 2-4 minuter, använd örtsalt på slutet

Häll i vatten och dom krossade tomaterna, krydda efter behag, använder man 1liters kastrull så ska vätskan vara strax under hälften sätt på lock och låt puttra på värme ettan eller tvåan beroende på spis, det ska puttra inte koka. När moroten och sellerin är lättuggade börjar det bli klart. Tänk på att ju längre maten står ju bättre blir det minst 1tim upp till 3tim kan man låta maten puttra.

Bra att äta till kan ju vara Quinoa? Men det går bra att äta bara soppan med macka eller liknande. Vill man ha ris är ju fullkornsris det bästa alternativet.

Rå mat

Där är ju principen egentligen likadan men att man inte använder sig av spis, hemligheten är att göra pure noggrant så att det blir en rätt vätskeform för den rätta näringen.
