What is homeopathy?

Homeopathy is a system of medicine that is based on the Law of Similars. The truth of this law has been verified experimentally and clinically for the last 200 years.  Let's look at an example: If your child accidentally ingests certain poisons, you may be advised to administer Syrup of Ipecac to induce vomiting. Ipecac is derived from the root of a South American plant called Ipecacuanha. The name, in the native language, means "the plant by the road which makes you throw up." Eating the plant causes vomiting. When a group of healthy volunteers took this substance to determine the effects of this drug, they found that the drug induced other symptoms as well. The mouth retained much saliva. The tongue was very clean. There was a cough so severe that it led to gagging and vomiting. There was incessant nausea. While it is expected that vomiting would usually relieve the nausea, this was not the case.
Such an experiment, using healthy volunteers, is called a proving, and it is the homeopath's source of information about the action of a drug.
Of what use could this plant be? If a person were suffering from a gagging cough after a cold, or a woman were experiencing morning sickness with incessant nausea that is not relieved by vomiting, then Ipecacuanha, administered in a minute dose, especially prepared by a homeopathic pharmacy in accordance with FDA approved guidelines, can allay the "similar" suffering.
Samuel Hahnemann described this principle by using a Latin phrase: Similia Similibus Curentur, which translates: "Let likes cure likes." It is a principle that has been known for centuries. Hahnemann developed the principle into a system of medicine called homeopathy, and it has been used successfully for the last 200 years.

CONSULATE GENERAL OF PAKISTAN (Press Wing) Jeddah
 (Sohail Ali Khan, Press Attaché, 7th Feb. 2004) Provincial Minister and Head of Pakistani Haj delegation Dr Irfan Gul Magsi has welcomed the decision of Saudi government to compensate the relatives or legal heirs of those Pakistani Hajis who were died in Jamarat Stampede on 10 Zul Hijja. Three persons related to the Haji who died in stampede will perform Haj next year and all the expenditure will be borne by the Saudi government . This was disclosed by him while addressing a concluding press briefing before his departure to Pakistan last night. 

Dr Magsi, however, stressed the need to take  immediate steps to avoid occurrence of such tragic incidents in future. In his recommendations on Haj 2004 , he would suggest to the Prime Minsiter of Pakistan Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali to constitute a Ulema Committee to suggest means to counter such incidents and this Ulema committee should also benefit from the experience of other countries, he added. We will share our recommendations with Saudi Ministry  of Haj also. 

Dr Irfan Gul Magsi who is heading Ministry for Auqaf, Ushr, and Relgious Affairs in Government of Sindh informed journalists that he would submit his report to Prime Minister this month and will request for early beginning of Haj arrangements for Haj 2005. Dr Irfan Magsi told that he and other members of Haj delegation collected a lot of information on Haj arrangements and also visited a number of camps and interacted with Hajis coming from different parts of the country. He will incorporate all these observations in his report and will pinpoint the  shortfalls in Haj Operations and suggest measures to improve performance. 

Dr Magsi said that one of these suggestions would be to have a well equipped  media center in Haj operation where all communication facilities like fax, internet connection and computers will be available. These journalists will work to ensure better services to Hajis and will interact with haj delegation on daily basis and they will be provided briefing on daily progress. He noted that provision of information to the relatives of Hajis back home about their near and dear ones is an essential part of Haj operation. He admitted that facilities available to journalists were not sufficient and need to be organized. Especially, on the occurrence of such tragic incidents like Jamarat Stampede their role become very important in transmitting facts as quickly and accurately as possible.

Answering a question, Dr Irfan Gul Magsi appreciated the hospitality and arrangements made by the Saudi Government for the welfare and security of the hajis coming from all over the world. He congratulated leadership of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for ensuring welfare of Hajis and also lauded the announcement of the Khadimul harmain Sharifain King Fahd to constitute a high level committee to suggest measures for improvement in facilities for Hajis in Makkah, Madinah and Mashair al Muqaddasah.

The Choices You Make
Many of the things that bring you down are of your own choosing. You choose them because you assume there's nothing better available to you, but there always is something better.
Many of the things that bring you down are just old habits that you've never managed to break. You assume they are a permanent part of you, but they are not.
Sure it takes some effort to find and make better choices. Yet those choices are indeed there, and once you begin to find a few, a whole lot more will suddenly pop into view.
Yes, it takes time and commitment to overcome a destructive habit. Once you do it, though, you'll feel like you can take on just about any challenge, and you'll be right.
Think about who you really are, and what you truly want to do with your life. Let your best vision of who you are, and of who you can be, guide the choices that you make every moment.
Life can be easy, haphazard and empty, or it can be focused, directed and full. The choices you make will make you who you choose to be.

 Prevent Diabetes, Prevent Ageing
Diabetes is a subject very close to my heart. Having lost my father prematurely to this chronic disease, I know from first hand experience how crippling and destructive it really is. I was shocked to read that more than a third of the population born in 2000 will get diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, the type that typically arises from overeating and a sedentary lifestyle, accounts for more than 90 percent of diabetes cases. If diagnosed with diabetes at age 40, men will lose 11.6 years of life and women will lose 14.3 years of life as a result of the disease. However, there are simple solutions that will prevent and even cure type 2 diabetes. By controlling excess carbohydrate consumption and exercising, the body has to normalize its blood sugar levels.  Unfortunately, many are offered a drug solution such as insulin injections for a disease that can be prevented. Making changes in your life will help to optimize your insulin levels. Blood sugar is only the symptom in most diabetics so the real challenge is to control your insulin levels. Once the insulin levels are stabilized it is common for the blood sugar to come back to normal levels. Exercise helps to combat Insulin resistance. By increasing the sensitivity of insulin receptors so the insulin that is present works effectively. Regular daily exercise can be as simple as a brisk walk for 30 minutes, an invigorating lunch-time swim or playing with children in the evening. Do whatever you love doing, but gets active!
Exercise will not only make your insulin work harder, but it will also reduce your body fat. It has been shown that lean mammals live longer. Eating less produces fewer chemical by-products, known as free radicals, which can damage cells but leanness may also play a role in promoting longevity. Recent research could result in a new drug that would fight obesity, and related illnesses like type 2 diabetes, by blocking insulin receptors in fat tissue. The drug would need to be targeted to fat only, however, as a loss of insulin sensitivity through out the body results in type 2 diabetes.
It appears that leanness is a key contributor to a long life, with insulin being the main reason. If you can understand insulin’s role in health, you can prevent diabetes, ageing and disease.  
You may  high insulin levels, if you have:
Excess Weight - High Blood Pressure - High Blood Cholesterol - Diabetes  - High Insulin Levels (above 5)
You can control your insulin levels by the following:
1. Increasing your activity and/or exercise, as mentioned above.  Muscle works on the simple principle, if you don’t use it, you lose it.  A lean body will make you live longer and help your body use insulin efficiently.
2. Reducing your intake of refined simple carbohydrates such as white bread, cakes etc. These foods cause a surge in blood sugar, which an alarm signal to the body to produce high insulin to stabilities it. Blood sugar drops very quickly which makes you even hungrier and so the cycle is repeated. This results in a cycle of over-consumption that leads to weight gain.
3. Eat foods that keep blood sugar stable, such as oily fish, lean meat, porridge and high-fiber foods. Always try to eat protein and/or fat with carbohydrates to dampen the insulin response.  Avoid eating unrefined carbohydrates on their own, as this will just cause the blood sugar highs and lows as discussed.
4. Avoid excess consumption of caffeine in tea, coffee, soft drinks. Caffeine also increases insulin levels, and if taken with sweets and carbs, you are doubling the dangerous effect of high blood sugar.
5. Try to prevent stress as much as possible. If you are highly stressed, make sure you take time out to relax, so the body can stabilize itself. Stress produces harmful hormonal reactions in the body, which also cause high insulin levels, so the cycles above continue. You may be wondering why a simple thing like sugar can be the cause of so much disease. I used to think this as well, because as a child, I loved eating sweets as a reward for being a good girl?  The immediate reaction is that sugar tastes nice and sweet, so it must be good.
However, you have only to see how sticky it becomes, especially when it becomes caramel or toffee. This is why it is so toxic in the body. It literally sticks to proteins and causes havoc to the cells in the body. High blood sugar is one of most degenerative factors in disease and ageing. So the answer is simple, prevent high insulin levels by controlling your blood sugar and you will prevent diabetes, disease and ageing.
