why we need to AVOID KFC CHICKEN




AVOID KFC CHICKEN :

On birthday parties and other special occasions these days we are rushing to the world's famous KFC near to us.We even love the chicken at KFC enjoying the real taste of the primary non-vegetarian item.
But here are some unbelievable facts about the KFC which you will be shocked definitely.
During a recent study of KFC done at the University of New Hampshire,
they found some very upsetting facts.
First of all, has anybody noticed that just recently,
the company has changed their name?
Kentucky Fried Chicken has become KFC.
Does anybody know why?
We thought the real reason was because of the 'FRIED' food issue.

But it's not!


The reason why they call it KFC is because they can not use the word chicken anymore.
Why? KFC does not use real chickens.
They actually use genetically manipulated organisms.
These so called 'chickens' are kept alive by tubes inserted into their bodies
to pump blood and nutrients throughout their structure.
They have no beaks, no feathers, and no feet.
Their bone structure is dramatically shrunk to get more meat out of them.
This is great for KFC. Which decreases the cost and saves them a lot.


There is no more plucking of the feathers or the removal of the beaks and feet.
The government has told them to change all of their menus
so they do not say chicken anywhere. If you look closely you will notice this.
Listen to their commercials, I guarantee you will not see or hear the word chicken.
I find this matter to be very disturbing. I hope people will start to realize this and let other people know.


Here are 7 unbelievable facts that might (or not) discourage you from eating KFC.

Chicken

KFC uses factory farming to produce their chicken. This means maximization of profits by neglecting health conditions at farms. The chickens are provided with no room to move and are deprived of sun. They are fed the cheapest quality of grain (including newspaper and cardboard), a lot of antibiotics and hormones to accelerate their growth. They are thus deformed and ill. Also, all of the chemicals, newspaper, cardboard and medicines are injected into the food chain and make their way into your body!

This version of sugar added to KFC recipes suppresses the immune function of the body and leads to diabetes. This can also potentially cause addiction to KFC products.
KFC uses highly refined table salt. This means that it is devoid of essentials minerals and has a ton of additives that potentially lead to heavy metal toxicity, Alzheimer’s disease, high blood pressure and kidney problems.
Partially Hydrogenated Oil

This is where you should really start getting worried. The oils used at KFC are literally saturated with omega-6 fatty acids. Though useful, but consumption in such large quantities causes heart problems and impaired brain function.
Monosodium Glutamate

The infamous MSG is no stranger to many folks. Many food manufacturers including KFC use MSG (Also known as Adinomoto in Mauritius) as a flavor magnifier. Seems great. The only problem being that in addition to flavor enhancing, it also kills brain cells and dumbs you down. It acts quickly and is not good for you. Other ingredients such as the Autolyzed yeast also contain MSG.
Chicken Fat and Beef Fat

If coming from a healthy farm raised animal, these fats can do a lot of good to the body. However, there is a small problem. The animal bodies are designed to protect themselves from toxicity by trapping the toxins in the fat reserves. Thus, in a factory-raised animal, as in case of KFC, these fats can prove to be pretty toxic on consumption.
Bleached Wheat Flour

Since the bleached wheat flour is an extremely refined source of carbohydrates, its consumption can cause rapid insulin spikes in the blood sugar level and cause problems with insulin control. This is a certain path to diabetes and gaining a good amount of fat on you.

Please forward this message to as many people as you can.


Hope you don't get the idea of the genetically manipulated organisms which are used to convert the chickens to the artificial hens. here are some pics for you.

KOTHIMIR (DHANIYA) medicine benefit





Years pass by and our kidneys are filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted entering our body. With time, the salt accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning treatments and how are we going to overcome this?

It is very easy, first take a bunch of parsley (MALLI Leaves) KOTHIMIR (DHAN
IYA) and wash it clean, Then cut it in small pieces and put it in a pot and pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it and pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool.

Drink one glass daily and you will notice all salt and other accumulated poison coming out of your kidney by urination, also you will be able to notice the difference which you never felt before.

Parsley is known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys and it is natural!

Police raid homes to stub out smoking habit

Bhutan: Bhutan police can raid homes of smokers in a search for contraband tobacco and are training a special tobacco sniffer dog in a crackdown to honor a promise to become the world's first smoke-free nation.
Buddhist Bhutan, where smoking is considered bad for one's karma, banned the sale of tobacco in 2005, but with a thriving tobacco smuggling operation from neighboring India, the ban failed to make much of an impact.
But legislation passed in the new year, granting police powers to enter homes, is set to stub out the habit, threatening five years in jail for shopkeepers selling tobacco and smokers who fail to provide customs receipts for imported cigarettes.
Police raid homes to stub out smoking habit
Smoking in private is not illegal in the Himalayan kingdom, but as the sale of cigarettes is banned, smokers are restricted to 200 cigarettes or 150 grams of other tobacco products a month that can be legally imported. And they must provide a customs receipt when challenged by police.
The Bhutan Narcotic Control Agency has started raids, with officials allowed to enter homes if someone is seen smoking or if officials have reason to believe there is illegal tobacco there.
There has been widespread grumbling about the new rule.
"When it comes to the penalties in the tobacco control act, it is, in every sense of the word, draconian," the country's largest selling newspaper, Kuensel, said in an editorial.
The Tobacco Act was passed in a joint sitting of parliament, with opposition from only four of the 65 voting members.
"It's a new year. And I have a new year's wish: that the first person to be caught and jailed under the Tobacco Control Act is a member of parliament," opposition leader Tshering Tobgay wrote on his popular blog.
Illegal cigarette sales - previously a major source of income for small shops - have almost stopped as shopkeepers say it will be difficult to hide tobacco from the sniffer dog.
"The sniffer dog is being trained at the moment. The dog will be able to sniff out tobacco products," said Major Phub Gyaltshen of the Royal Bhutan Police.
Bhutan's prime minister said the law cannot be called draconian and it was passed in the "collective wisdom" of the members of parliament.
"It is cancerous, both in the literal and the metaphoric sense, cancerous to society and to individual and in many ways it is no different from psychotropic drugs, for which the penalty in certain countries is death," Prime Minister Jigmi Y. Thinley said.

How To Stop Smoking Cigarettes

How To Stop Smoking Cigarettes.


Smoking cigarettes used to be a lot more popular than it is today. Now most smokers are looking for methods of stopping smoking. This is because smokers and the general public at large are more aware of the dangers of smoking cigarettes these days.


Just look at films manufactured in the Sixties and before, everyone is smoking. It proves how popular smoking was compared with today. This would not be possible now as you may not smoke in public places, on public transport, in restaurants or in bars any more in most Western countries and elsewhere as well.


The difficulty with smoking is that not just the smoker suffers, so does everyone around about the smoker. This is called passive smoking and it affects those working or living with smokers – a barmaid or a spouse for example. So, all these individuals are endangering their health so that tobacco firms can become richer.


No matter how long someone has been smoking, it is possible to stop the habit. Anyone who has stopped smoking will tell you that stopping smoking cigarettes is all to do with the mind. You really have to want to stop smoking or you will not do it successfully.


People have different ways of stopping smoking cigarettes. Some say that nicotine patches or nicotine gum help, because you can wean yourself off nicotine gradually without having to inhale the poisonous smoke of cigarettes. Nicotine is highly addictive and most of the chemical withdrawal symptoms have to do with the deficiency of nicotine in the body.


Most individuals find that the single effective way of stopping smoking cigarettes is to give up smoking dead – in one go. It is very difficult to cut down or to swap to a weaker brand. You are still inhaling poisonous smoke. It is still no good to you or anyone around you.


Cutting down or switching brands does not work, because you will still smoke other people’s and you will still be in a smokers’ environment. You will also find yourself smoking tomorrow’s five cigarettes today, swearing not to smoke any the next day. That never works. You have to give up smoking dead.


There are several situations that can provide the motivation to give up smoking cigarettes. Illness is usually high on the list. A few years ago two friends of mine who smoked heavily stopped smoking cigarettes within weeks of every other.


One was in his sixties and had smoked for almost sixty years: he was told that his lungs were beginning to go, but that if he stopped smoking, the shock might kill him. He stopped smoking one morning and is still alive, but what a dilemma!


The other was in his fifties and drove a lot as a travelling salesman. The physician told him that he would almost certainly have to have a leg removed next year, if he did not give up smoking and that the other may go a year or so after that. He stopped smoking instantly and still has both legs.


So it seems that the trick to stopping smoking cigarettes successfully is to find your motivation (do you want to live long enough to see the grandkids married?) and bear that image in front of you at all times. Take nicotine substitutes if you have to and keep away from environments where people smoke more, like taverns.Join a sports club instead, something like tennis, table tennis, swimming or even chess.

natural wonder Turmeric Benefits

Turmeric is one of nature’s most powerful healers. The active ingredient in
turmeric is curcumin. Tumeric has been used for over 2500 years in
India, where it was most likely first used as a dye.





 The medicinal properties
of this spice have been slowly revealing themselves over the centuries.
Long known for its anti-inflammatory properties, recent research has
revealed that turmeric is a natural wonder, proving beneficial in the treatment of many different
health conditions from cancer to Alzheimer’s disease.


Turmeric (curcumin) is considered as a symbol of prosperity and a whole body cleansing herb
in India's traditional ayurvedic medicine science. Medically, it was
used as an aid for digestive disturbances and as a treatment for fever,
infections, dysentery, arthritis, jaundice and other liver problems.



In recent years, turmeric benefits have captured the
attention of Western scientists and herbalists. However, this herb held
a place of honor in India's traditional Ayurvedic medicine because they
have always known the magical medicinal powers of turmeric.



Health Benefits of Turmeric


  1. It is a natural antiseptic and antibacterial agent, useful in disinfecting cuts and burns.
  2. It speeds up wound healing and assists in remodeling of damaged
    skin. It is therefore advised to mix 1 tea-spoon of turmeric powder in
    hot milk for fast recovery of internal injury to body muscles.
  3. When combined with cauliflower, turmeric has shown to prevent prostate cancer and stop the growth of existing prostate cancer.
  4. Turmeric prevented breast cancer from spreading to the lungs in mice.
  5. It may prevent melanoma and cause existing melanoma cells to commit suicide.
  6. Turmeric reduces the risk of childhood leukaemia.
  7. Turmeric is a natural liver detoxifier.
  8. Turmeric may prevent and slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease by removing amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain.
  9. Turmeric may prevent metastases from occurring in many different forms of cancer.
  10. It is a potent natural anti-inflammatory that works as well as many anti-inflammatory drugs but without the side effects.
  11. Turmeric has shown promise in slowing the progression of multiple sclerosis in mice.
  12. Is a natural painkiller and cox-2 inhibitor.
  13. It may aid in fat metabolism and help in weight management.
  14. Turmeric has long been used in Chinese medicine as a treatment for depression.
  15. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it is a natural treatment for arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
  16. Boosts the effects of chemo drug paclitaxel and reduces its side effects.
  17. Promising studies are underway on the effects of turmeric on pancreatic cancer.
  18. Studies are ongoing in the positive effects of turmeric on multiple myeloma.
  19. Turmeric has been shown to stop the growth of new blood vessels in tumours.
  20. Turmeric may help in the treatment of psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions.

The health benefits of turmeric lie in the active ingredient called
curcumin. This powerful compound gives turmeric its therapeutic
benefits, its yellow color, and its pungent flavor. More specifically,
curcumin harbors antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial,
stomach-soothing, and liver-and heart-protecting effects.



Laboratory studies indicate that curcumin has anti-cancer activity.
More specifically, it destroys some types of cancer cells. For example,
in the laboratory, curcumin kills cultures of human leukemia cells. This
action may be due to turmeric's antioxidant properties or some other
anti-cancer activity. Needless to say, more research is needed to
determine turmeric benefits as a potential cancer agent.




Turmeric can be taken in powder or pill form. It is available in pill
form in most health food stores, usually in 250-500 mg. capsules. Once
you start using turmeric on a regular basis, it’s fun to find new ways
to use it in recipes.



Turmeric should not be used by people with gallstones or bile
obstruction. Though turmeric is often used by pregnant women, it is
important to consult with a doctor before doing so as turmeric can be a
uterine stimulant.

Warning on Car Airconditioning

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION! !!!

Warning on Car Airconditioning 


No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before.  We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents.  Many people are in their cars first thing in the morning and the last thing at night, 7 days a week.   As I read this, it makes me feel guilty and ill.  Please pass this on to as many people as possible. Guess it’s not too late to make some changes


Car A/C (Air Conditioning) MUST READ!!! 
Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car. 


Open the windows after you enter your car and turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.


Here's why: 


According to a research, the dashboard, sofa and air freshener emit Benzene, a cancer-causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).


In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.


Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer.


Can also cause miscarriage. .


Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.


If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.


People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.


Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.


So friends, please open the windows and doors of your car and give time for the deadly interior air to clear out before you enter.


Thought: 


'When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.'
