The Life of Your Body is in the Blood

The blood is pumped by the heart and interacts with every system, organ, gland, tissue and cell of your physical body.

Your bloodstream is responsible for transporting nutrients and hormones into the cells and transporting waste out of the cells.

To transform your health on any level, the 100 trillions cells that are fed by the bloodstream must be cleansed and purified.

This cleansing process must become a top priority two to three times yearly.

If you are new to body cleansing it will take a minimum of 90 days of  continuous body and blood detoxification to flush the years of accumulated toxins from your body.

Your Lymphatic-Circulatory system which is made up of all veins, arteries, capillaries, tonsils, lymph nodes, lymph fluid, thymus gland also need be flushed in order to rid the body of all toxicity, bacteria, fungus, viruses and old metabolic waste.

Since the blood has no external exit from the body, except through a cut, injury or surgery, there must be a releasing outlet for this toxicity.

The bowels, skin and the kidney are the most effective outlets.

The bowels criteria

It is never advisable to perform a blood cleansing program without bowel cleansing.

With cleansing and detoxification, the body systems are releasing a tremendous amount of toxins and pollutants that have been lying dormant in your body; therefore all the organs of elimination must be functioning freely.

If you fail to open the bowels and kidneys you may experience boils or skin breakouts

For proper bowel health:

· You need an effective and safe herbal body and bowel cleansing formula

· Bowels need to be emptied three or more times daily while undertaking a cleansing program

· Bowels need an adequate amount of water and fiber

Blood Oxygenation

To oxygenate the bloodstream incorporate 3 practices into your blood cleansing program:

· Drink half your body weight in ounces of high PH alkaline, spring, or chlorophyll enhanced water

· Engage in 3 or more days of combined resistance and cardiovascular exercises

· Daily perform five minutes of deep breathinG 

·        Use an herbal blood purifying formula, visit www.totalhealthherbalproducts.com and click on Purifying Tonic

The total amount of Niacin (Niacinamide) in the bHip Energy Blend is 40 mg.

The U.S. RDA for niacin is 20 milligrams per day. Niacin, a water-soluble vitamin, helps the body release energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrate during metabolism. Special Note Regarding 'Niacin Flush':
Niacin, by nature, is a great way of reducing your cholesterol. Many over-the-counter cholesterol medications include high does of niacin, among other ingredients. One effect that may arise from ingesting supplement niacin is what's called 'niacin flush'.

Niacin causes the capillaries (small blood vessels) in your body to get wider (bigger). The capillaries are usually extremely small, and blood pulsateses through them very slowly. The inherent problem with this is that capillaries are the main way for your body to rid itself of toxins. Your arteries, in comparison, are much larger than capillaries and can carry more blood and at a faster rate, but they do not come near the majority of your body. Arteries are the "highways" of your body, and capillaries are more like the small town road that you exit off of the highway from in order to get to your house. Your house, in this example, would be a cell somewhere in a remote part of your body that is full of toxins. Without sufficient blood flow (oxygen and everything that comes along with it), this cell cannot rid itself of its toxins. Now, imagine your city widening the road that leads by your house -- the traffic would increase. The same is true for your capillaries. They will carry more blood - at a faster rate. The end result is that your cells now have more blood to rid themselves of toxins throughout your body as the capillaries get wider.

How does this relate to niacin flush? Niacin causes the capillaries to get bigger, and the end result is the "flush". The increase in size of your capillaries causes, in some cases, a redness on your skin in the areas that it is occurring. This is the first part of niacin flush. The second reaction of niacin flush is the tingling and occasional itch that comes along with it. This itch is actually a healthy response. The reason you are experiencing this itch is because the niacin has allowed more blood to reach your cells to remove toxins from them. As toxins are carried away and your cell becomes healthier, it is finally able to "call" your body for help. Your body responds by sending what is called a histamine to the cell. Histamines cause you to itch, but they also allow your body to send more water, blood, and nutrients to the area that called them.

In summary, niacin flush is actually a very healthy reaction from your body. You shouldn't be alarmed when you get it; actually the very opposite - it means your body is healing itself. You'll notice that after a certain dosage of niacin, eventually you will not receive the niacin flush any longer. Once you up the dosage, you may experience it again. Your doctor can recommend a good healthy dosage for you.

Selain mengontrol kadar gula secara teratur, melakukan diet makanan dan olahraga yang teratur menjadi kunci sukses pengelolaaan diabetes. Dalam hal makanan misalnya, penderita diabetes harus memperhatikan takaran karbohidrat. Sebab lebih dari separuh kebutuhan energi diperoleh dari zat ini. Menurut dr. Elvina Karyadi, M.Sc., ahli gizi dari SEAMEO-Tropmed UI, ada dua golongan karbohidrat yakni jenis kompleks dan jenis sederhana. Yang pertama mempunyai ikatan kimiawi lebih dari satu rantai glukosa sedangkan yang lain hanya satu. Di dalam tubuh karbohidrat kompleks seperti dalam roti atau nasi, harus diurai menjadi rantai tunggal dulu sebelum diserap ke dalam aliran darah. Sebaliknya, karbohidrat sederhana seperti es krim, jeli, selai, sirup, minuman ringan, dan permen, langsung masuk ke dalam aliran darah sehingga kadar gula darah langsung melejit.

Dari sisi makanan penderita diabetes lebih dianjurkan mengkonsumsi karbohidrat berserat seperti kacang-kacangan, sayuran, buah segar seperti pepaya, kedondong, apel, tomat, salak, semangka dll. Sedangkan buah-buahan yang terlalu manis seperti sawo, jeruk, nanas, rambutan, durian, nangka, anggur, tidak dianjurkan.

Peneliti gizi asal Universitas Airlangga, Surabaya, Prof. Dr. Dr. H. Askandar Tjokroprawiro, menggolongkan diet atas dua bagian, A dan B. Diet B dengan komposisi 68% karbohidrat, 20% lemak, dan 12% protein, lebih cocok buat orang Indonesia dibandingkan dengan diet A yang terdiri atas 40 - 50% karbohidrat, 30 - 35% lemak dan 20 - 25% protein. Diet B selain mengandung karbohidrat lumayan tinggi, juga kaya serat dan rendah kolesterol. Berdasarkan penelitian, diet tinggi karbohidrat kompleks dalam dosis terbagi, dapat memperbaiki kepekaan sel beta pankreas.

Sementara itu tingginya serat dalam sayuran jenis A(bayam, buncis, kacang panjang, jagung muda, labu siam, wortel, pare, nangka muda) ditambah sayuran jenis B (kembang kol, jamur segar, seledri, taoge, ketimun, gambas, cabai hijau, labu air, terung, tomat, sawi) akan menekan kenaikan kadar glukosa dan kolesterol darah.
Bawang merah dan putih (berkhasiat 10 kali bawang merah) serta buncis baik sekali jika ditambahkan dalam diet diabetes karena secara bersama-sama dapat menurunkan kadar lemak darah dan glukosa darah.

Pola 3J
Ahli gizi lain, dr. Andry Hartono D.A. Nutr., dari RS Panti Rapih, Yogyakarta menyarankan pola 3J yakni:

1. Jumlah kalori,
2. Jadwal makan, dan
3. Jenis makanan.

Bagi penderita yang tidak mempunyai masalah dengan berat badan tentu lebih mudah untuk menghitung jumlah kalori sehari-hari. Caranya, berat badan dikalikan 30. Misalnya, orang dengan berat badan 50 kg, maka kebutuhan kalori dalam sehari adalah 1.500 (50 x 30). Kalau yang bersangkutan menjalankan olahraga, kebutuhan kalorinya pada hari berolahraga ditambah sekitar 300-an kalori.
Jadwal makan pengidap diabetes dianjurkan lebih sering dengan porsi sedang. Maksudnya agar jumlah kalori merata sepanjang hari. Tujuan akhirnya agar beban kerja tubuh tidak terlampau berat dan produksi kelenjar ludah perut tidak terlalu mendadak.

Di samping jadwal makan utama pagi, siang, dan malam, dianjurkan juga porsi makanan ringan di sela-sela waktu tersebut(selang waktu sekitar tiga jam).
Yang perlu dibatasi adalah makanan berkalori tinggi seperti nasi, daging berlemak, jeroan, kuning telur. Juga makanan berlemak tinggi seperti es krim, ham, sosis, cake, coklat, dendeng, makanan gorengan. Sayuran berwarna hijau gelap dan jingga seperti wortel, buncis, bayam, caisim bisa dikonsumsi dalam jumlah lebih banyak, begitu pula dengan buah-buahan segar. Namun, perlu diperhatikan bila penderita menderita gangguan ginjal, konsumsi sayur-sayuran hijau dan makanan berprotein tinggi harus dibatasi agar tidak terlalu membebani kerja ginjal.
 
Diet kalori terbatas
Penderita bisa mengikuti contoh susunan menu diet B untuk 2.100 kalori (Simbardjo dan Indrawati, B.Sc. dari bagian ilmu gizi RSUD Dr. Sutomo Surabaya) seperti pada Tabel 1. Diet B tinggi serat itu termasuk diet diabetes umum, yang tidak menderita komplikasi, tidak sedang berpuasa atau pun sedang hamil.

Makanan dalam kelompok A bisa dibilang berkomposisi paling baik, karena mengandung serat dan atau rendah hidrat arang olahan serta rendah lemak. Sementara golongan C kurang baik karena kandungan gulanya tinggi, rendah atau tanpa serat, dan terlalu banyak lemak. Jadi, dianjurkan untuk memilih A atau B, bukan C. Nasi lebih baik daripada bubur, karena kandungan serat lebih baik sehingga lebih lama bertahan di usus. Pemanis gula bisa diganti dengan pemanis buatan.
Di sini diberikan pula contoh menu yang dapat diikuti (20 unit atau 1.600 kalori):  

Dengan melakukan diet yang teratur dan disiplin pasti kadar gula dapat dikendalikan.

According to estimates from the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, "Each year, arthritis results in 750,000 hospitalizations and 36 million outpatient visits. Ten years ago, medical care for arthritis cost nearly US$22 billion, and the total cost, including lost productivity, topped US$82 billion." Nearly two-thirds of people with arthritis are younger than 65 years of age. Arthritis is not just an "old person's disease".

Osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative arthritis, affects the joints. The wear and tear of cartilage, which acts as a cushion for the joints, causes inflammation and the pain. As the bone surfaces lose protection from the cartilage, walking and standing or any activity that bears weight causes pain. Osteoarthritis affects more than 21 million people in the United States alone. This form of arthritis is more common in males before the age of 45. In women, osteoarthritis is diagnosed more often after the age of 55. As the "baby-boomer" generation ages, doctors predict there will be a staggering growth in the cases of osteoarthritis. As it is almost impossible to replace cartilage, there is no cure for osteoarthritis. The pain associated with osteoarthritis is described as a sharp ache or burning sensation in the muscles and tendons attached to the bone. When the joint moves, it makes a crackling noise. Other symptoms noted include muscle spasms, tendon contractions, and fluid in the joint. Areas affected by osteoarthritis are hands, feet, spine, hips, knees and in theory any joint in the body. When knees are affected, they tend to curve outward and usually feel worse the more they are used during the day. This separates osteoarthritis apart from rheumatoid arthritis. There are two causes of osteoarthritis. The first is aging where the water content of the cartilage increases and protein composition is lost. The second cause is other diseases or conditions including obesity, repeated trauma, hormonal disorders, surgery and inflammatory diseases. In severe cases, surgery may be required to remove fragments, re-position bones. or perform bone-fusion surgery.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that allows the immune system to attacks joints, which is both painful and destructive and may create loss of mobility. Rheumatoid arthritis differs from other forms of arthritis because it attacks the soft-tissue of many joints simultaneously. Rheumatoid arthritis may lead to joint deformity when joint surfaces erode and assume unnatural shapes. Severely affected joints may require joint replacement. Rheumatoid arthritis affects women three to five times as often as men. The peak age of incidence is between the ages of 40-60. Approximately 33% of patients will not be able to work after only 5 years and after 10 years, over half will have substantial functional disability.

Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery to deal with many problems related to joint dysfunction. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects that include: elevated cholesterol, gastric ulcers, hypertension, carcinogenesis, liver failure, and even infertility. And natural pills only provide fleeting and inconsistent results.

Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available. Its fundamentals can be found in Hindu scriptures called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000 years ago.

Sleep is vital for your health and well being. Yet millions of us are not getting sufficient rest. Sleep deprivation is a common condition that afflicts 47 million American adults, or almost a quarter of the adult population. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 60% of adults report having sleep problems a few nights a week or more. In addition, more than 40% of adults experience daytime sleepiness which interferes with daily activities at least a few days each month and 20% report sleep problems a few days a week or more. Over one-quarter of working adults (28%) said they missed work, events, and activities in the previous three months due to sleep-related issues. People who drove after being awake for 17–19 hours performed worse than those with a blood alcohol level of 0.05% (Blood Alcohol Limit for Western Europe) or 0.08% (Blood Alcohol Limit for USA).

Getting less sleep than what your body requires has serious consequences. Symptoms can interfere with memory, energy levels, mental abilities, and emotional mood. According to WebMD reports, chronic sleep deprivation increases risk of early death. Studies show there is a greater risk for heart disease and heart attacks as well as obesity. In addition, insufficient sleep adversely affects the frontal cortex's ability to control speech, access memory, and solve problems. A sleep-deprived individual suffers from slower reaction time, weaker memory, and other thinking impairments. Major accidents have been linked in part with lack of sleep: Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, and the Exxon Valdez. According to the "Sleep in America" poll in 2004, 60% of American drivers reported driving in a drowsy state and 4% had an accident or near-accident. Fatigue contributes to more than 100,000 highway crashes, 71,000 injuries, and 1,500 deaths each year in the United States alone.

The trend in industrialized nations over the last hundred years suggests that people are increasingly sleep deprived. In 1910, the average person slept 9.0 hours a night. By 1975, the total had fallen to 7.5 hours. The same "Sleep in America" poll, indicates that the average American adult now only sleeps 6.9 hours a night; this leads to fatigue and exhaustion. Shift workers suffer more than other people. Many shift workers average only five hours a night. A number of studies have reported that shift work throws off the body's circadian rhythm and have suggested that such changes could lead to chronic insomnia. One study found that 53% of night-shift workers fall asleep on the job at least once a week, implying that their internal clocks do not adjust to unusual work times. They are also at much higher risk than other workers for automobile accidents due to their drowsiness and may also have a higher risk for health problems in general. A Japanese study reporting on different aspects of insomnia found that excessive computer work was associated with all forms of insomnia. People who were over-involved with their work tended to have trouble falling asleep and they tended to awaken earlier than average.

Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) is characterized by uncomfortable physical and mental symptoms that occur before the onset of your menstrual period. An estimated three out of every four menstruating women experience some form of PMS. About 5% of women experience symptoms that cause severe impairment. PMS may start at any time during the years that a woman menstruates. Once it begins, the symptoms often continue until menopause. PMS is more likely to trouble women between their late 20s and early 40s and it tends to recur in a predictable pattern.

The physical and emotional changes that are experienced with PMS may vary in intensity with each menstrual cycle. Cyclic changes in hormones are believed to be a precursor to PMS because its symptoms appear with hormonal fluctuations and disappear with pregnancy and menopause. Fluctuations of serotonin, a brain chemical (neurotransmitter), is the cause of mood swings during PMS. Insufficient amounts of serotonin may contribute to other symptoms of PMS, such as fatigue, food cravings, and sleep problems. Occasionally, some women with severe PMS have undiagnosed depression, though depression alone does not cause all of the symptoms associated with PMS. Stress may also aggravate PMS.

Western medicine relies on pharmaceuticals to counteract symptoms related to PMS. Unfortunately, these drugs do not address underlying causes and often result in dangerous side effects. And natural pills only provide fleeting, inconsistent results.

Just as human instinct drives us toward survival, physical beauty is programmed into our brains as a means of staying alive and furthering our family line. Nature has given us impulses that drive us towards procreation. Every creature, from the lowest organism to the most complex, desires sex. Dogs are attracted to each other’s smells. Peacocks are attracted to each others’ plumages. Human beings are attracted to many things about each other – one of which is physical beauty.

Physical attractiveness can have very real effects. When a person is seen as attractive or unattractive, a whole set of assumptions are brought into play. Many have asserted that certain advantages tend to come to those who are perceived as being more attractive, including the ability to get better jobs and promotions, receiving better treatment from authorities and the legal system, having more choices in romantic partners and therefore more power in relationships, and marrying into more successful families. A survey conducted by London Guildhall University of 11,000 people showed that those that subjectively describe themselves as physically attractive earn more than others that describe themselves as less attractive. Less attractive people earned, on average, 13% less than more attractive people, while the penalty for being overweight was around 5%.

Both men and women use physical attractiveness as a measure of how 'good' another person is. Men often tend to value attractiveness more than women. In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain scans published in 2004 by Rutgers University, evolutionary anthropologist Helen Fisher discovered that there were clear differences in male and female brains, during the early intense stages of falling in love. Men, on average, tended to show more activity in two regions in the brain: one was associated with the integration of visual stimuli, and the second was with penile erection. Conversely, women in these early stages exhibited increased activity in several regions of the brain associated with memory recall.

Although it is said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", studies have shown that there are many universal or near-universal qualities which make men and women attractive. These qualities usually fit into one or more of three categories:

• Indicators of general good health.
• Indicators of reproductive fitness.
• Healthy nails and thick, "lustrous" hair.
• Features that include a clear complexion and healthy, youthful-looking skin.

A hair and its follicle make up one of the most complex and interesting systems in the body. Scientists are just now beginning to identify the key cells, proteins, hormones and genes that control the growth, loss, and regeneration of hair. While inherent genetic coding is decidedly a factor in hair loss, other factors exist that accelerate the process, including stress, diet, pollution, and hygiene.

Gradual buildup of residue from commercial hair care products and environmental toxins, along with a diet high in animal fats, prompts an over-secretion of sebum. The sebum soon becomes oxidized and is transformed into a waxy substance clogging the follicle entrance. In time, the impacted sebum and other debris makes its way deep within the follicle, inhibiting the absorption of nutrients and impeding the growth of healthy hair. Stress contributes to this problem by causing tightness in the scalp, which inhibits blood circulation to this area. A chemical reaction takes place between an enzyme called 5-Alpha reductase and androgens present in the impacted sebum. This results in the formation of a powerful hormone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT binds to the follicle entrance, which eventually sends a message to the hair follicle to shut down. The result: thick and healthy hair begins to grow thin and weak, eventually dying altogether.

Nails can be very attractive and serve many important functions. Women, more often than men, place a great deal of importance on how their nails look and spend a considerable amount of time and money on them. Nails reflect an individual's personal and health habits - good or bad. Aside from their cosmetic appeal, nails serve many important functions. They help us pick up and manipulate objects, and they protect and support the tissues of the fingers and toes. Most importantly, nails often reflect our general state of health. Nail problems usually increase throughout life and affect a high number of the elderly. This is due to the susceptibility of the nail to fungal infections, its increased thickness with age, circulation problems, and the use of medications.

Many diseases and serious conditions can be detected by changes in the nails. Most doctors will check the nails carefully during physical examinations. Major illness will cause a deep horizontal groove to form in the nails. Discoloration, thinning, thickening, brittleness, splitting, grooves, clubbing (convex), flatness, spooning (concave) can indicate nutrient deficiencies, drug reaction or poisoning, local injury, and other illnesses in the body. Nails can become extremely thick, loose, or degenerated. They can also be infected with fungus which can come from dirty socks, certain types of aggressive exercise, walking barefoot, and exposing one's feet in a moldy environment.

Our largest organ is our skin. Others see our skin and assess our mood, physical state, and attractiveness. As your skin ages, it becomes thinner and more easily damaged. When this effect intensifies, the skin decreases its ability to heal itself. Sagging skin is caused by the fall in elasticity. Skin also receives less blood flow and lowers glandular activity. Your skin supports its own ecosystems of microorganisms, including yeasts and bacteria, which cannot be removed by any amount of cleaning. In general, these organisms keep one another in check and are part of healthy skin. When the balance is disturbed, e.g., by antibiotics which kill bacteria, there may be an overgrowth and infection by yeasts.

The human skin has many other important functions such as:

1. Protection: Your skin is an anatomical barrier between the internal and external environment in bodily defense.
2. Sensation: Your skin contains a variety of nerve endings that react to heat, cold, touch, pressure, vibration, and tissue injury.
3. Heat regulation: Your skin contains a blood supply far greater than its requirements which allows precise control of energy loss by radiation, convection, and conduction. Dilated blood vessels increase perfusion and heat loss while constricted vessels greatly reduce cutaneous blood flow and conserve heat.
4. Control of evaporation: Your skin provides a relatively dry and impermeable barrier to fluid loss. Loss of this function contributes to the massive fluid loss in burns cases.
5. Storage and synthesis: Your skin acts as a storage centre for lipids and water, as well as a means of synthesis of vitamin D and B by action of Ultra Violet energy on certain parts of the skin. This synthesis is linked to pigmentation, with darker skin producing more vitamin B than D, and vice versa.
6. Excretion: The concentration of urea is 1/130th that of urine. Excretion by sweating is at most a secondary function to temperature regulation.
7. Absorption: Oxygen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide can diffuse into the epidermis in small amounts. Skin is an important site of transport in many other organisms.

With such diverse roles, it is no wonder that the skin is subject to constant attack and can be afflicted by numerous ailments. The skin is the barrier between the world and our own body, between the outer and inner environment. There are many elements in the outer environment that can cause inflammation or breakouts. There is now no question that these accumulated toxins are behind nearly every disease, symptom, injury, and malfunction of the body. Free radicals are highly reactive chemical molecules and participate in unwanted reactions, causing tissue damage, and destructive effects on the human body. Free radicals attack protein, lipid, and nucleic acids and lead to a reduction in their respective functions, thereby decreasing cell function, and finally causing organ failure. The road to disease can be paved with a slew of toxins and free radicals that can bind to enzymes at a cellular level and inactivate them so that the cell no longer functions optimally. When toxins are not eliminated, they are reabsorbed back into the liver.

The liver works by filtering toxins directly as well as altering them so that they can be removed during the various stages of detoxification. The liver filters toxins from about 1 liter of blood every minute. Some of these endotoxins (produced in the body), exotoxins (from outside the body), and wastes are sent to the kidneys or the colon. Other toxins, made up of compounds that are difficult for the liver to filter, must be broken down with enzymes so that they can be removed. A properly functioning liver is vital to your health.

Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery to deal with many problems related to health and aesthetics. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects. And natural pills provide fleeting, inconsistent results.

How Rudraksha Healing Works
Rudraksha beads, botanically known as Elaeocarpus Ganitrus Roxb, are the seeds of the fruit from Rudraksha trees. Rudraksha trees are found mainly in Indonesia, Nepal, and India. There are clefts on the surface of the beads which are used to characterize the beads. For example, a five facet Rudraksha bead has five clefts on it (shown below on the left). A ten facet Rudraksha bead has ten clefts on it (shown below on the right).

Rudraksha beads are available with 1 to 38 facets. Beads with 1 and 15 to 38 facets are rare. The 5 facet bead is commonly available and thus the most popular due to its effectiveness and economical cost. Yogis wear necklaces called malas (Sanskrit for garland) which typically consist of 108 five facet Rudraksha beads and a larger "meru" bead. The tassled "meru" bead is symbolic of the transcended state, and indicates the beginning and end of a cycle. Malas consist of 108 Rudraksha beads because according to Vedic literature, Brahmand (the universe) is made up of 108 elements.

The beneficial powers of Rudraksha beads have been known in Asia for ages and are well documented in traditional and contemporary literature. Due to increasing popularity of Rudraksha malas with the general populace in India, scientific studies have been undertaken in recent years to determine just how Rudraksha Healing works. One of the best known research papers was published by Dr. Suhas Roy of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology in Banaras, India.

Dr. Roy's research confirmed that the healing powers of Rudraksha beads flow from their electro-magnetic properties. When Rudraksha beads are placed over the heart, they act to stabilize the heart beat. Similar to magnets, the beads work on the principle of Dynamic Polarity. Blood circulation and heart beat automatically induce a magnetic field around the body and particularly the heart region. Depending on the polarity and intensity of this induced magnetic field, Rudraksha beads transmit subtle electrical and inductive impulses with opposing polarity and intensity. According, a proportionate balancing force is exerted on the heart to regulate it if it starts beating above or below normal rates. This action helps to ensure ideal blood circulation in the body.

The human body is a complex bio-electronic circuit comprised of the Central Nervous System and the organs and functions it regulates.

Rough Pattern of current induced by magnetic field in the body.	Red shows highest induced currents, Blue the lowest.	Rough Pattern of current induced by electric field in the body.

Streamlined blood flow has a powerful rejuvenating impact on this circuit and serves to prevent stress-related disorders caused by the damaging effects of excess energy on neurons and neurotransmitters. In essence, Rudraksha beads help bring about the well-known "relaxation response" which is the ultimate goal of meditation, yoga, tai chi, biofeedback, and countless other Alternative Medicine methodologies.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the key causes of the global obesity epidemic are increased consumption of energy-dense foods high in saturated fats and sugars, and reduced physical activity due to rapid urbanization. Currently over 1 billion adults are overweight and at least 300 million of them are clinically obese. Excess weight and obesity lead to adverse metabolic impact on blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, and insulin resistance. Some of these negative effects in turn redouble the propensity for weight gain.

Due to increased work-related stress and time constraints coupled with easy access to tasty junk food, advice on incorporating a low-fat, high-fiber diet in conjunction with an exercise program has been difficult to heed. And even when dietary and physical regimen changes are made, the struggle to reverse the physical and psychological inclination to gain weight remains difficult.

Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and liposuction surgery to deal with many problems related to obesity. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and dangerous side effects. Non-medical methods for weight loss such as diet programs and fat targeting exercise routines have failed to break the cycle of weight gain. And natural pills have provided only fleeting, inconsistent results.

According to the World Health Organization, there were 600 million people aged 60 and over in the year 2000. This number will increase to 1.2 billion by 2025 and 2 billion by 2050. Today, about two thirds of all older people are living in the developing world and by 2025, it will be 75%.

The United States is on the brink of a longevity revolution. By 2030, the number of older Americans will have more than doubled to 70 million, or one in every five Americans. The growing number and proportion of older adults, places increasing demands on the public health system and on medical and social services. In just 10 years, spending on the elderly will total nearly $1.8 trillion, almost half the federal budget, according to new Brookings Institution and Congressional Budget Office projections. That is up from 29 percent in 1990 and 35 percent in 2000. The bulk of that growth is spending on the federal government's two largest health care programs, Medicare and Medicaid. Their combined costs are projected to more than double, to a combined total of $1.2 trillion in 2015 from $473 billion last year. Social Security spending is expected to rise to $888 billion from $492 billion in that span. Chronic diseases exact a particularly heavy health and economic burden on older adults due to associated long-term illness, diminished quality of life, and greatly increased health care costs. Although the risk of disease and disability clearly increases with advancing age, poor health is not an inevitable consequence of aging.

Aging is an accumulation of lifelong damage to macromolecules, cells, tissues and organs. The maximum life span known for humans is 122.5 years. Genetic differences between humans account for different aging rates, including efficiency of DNA repair, types and quantities of antioxidant enzymes, and different rates of free radical production.

Common diseases among older people are cardiovascular disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, and hypertension. For chronic diseases and conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, depression, psychiatric disorders, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, and urinary incontinence, much remains to be learned about their distribution in the population, associated risk factors, and effective measures to prevent or delay their onset. The epidemiologic transition, combined with the increasing number of older persons, represents a challenge for public health. In the United States, approximately 80% of all persons are aged above 65 years and have at least one chronic condition, and 50% have at least two conditions. As the population ages, the impact of Alzheimer's disease, which doubles every 5 years after the age of 65, is also expected to increase. Chronic conditions also can lead to severe disability. In the United States alone, arthritis affects approximately 59% of persons aged 65 years and above and is the leading cause of disability.

Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery to deal with many problems related to aging. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects. And natural pills only provide fleeting, inconsistent results.

Essential oils give the plant its characteristic aroma and will evaporate quickly from the skin or another surface. Herbal supplements come in all forms. They may be taken internally as pills or powders, dissolved into tinctures or syrups, or brewed in teas and decoctions. Salves, ointments, shampoos, or poultices may be applied to the skin, scalp, or mucous membranes. For example, fresh ginger root is often found in the produce section of food stores; dried ginger root is sold packaged in tea bags, capsules, or tablets; and liquid preparations made from ginger root are also sold. A particular group of chemicals or a single chemical may be isolated from a botanical and sold as a dietary supplement, usually in tablet or capsule form. An example is phytoestrogens from soy products. A tea, also known as an infusion, is made by adding boiling water to fresh or dried botanicals and steeping them. The tea may be drunk either hot or cold. Some roots, bark, and berries require more forceful treatment to extract their desired ingredients. They are simmered in boiling water for longer periods than teas, making a decoction, which also may be drunk hot or cold. A tincture is made by soaking a botanical in a solution of alcohol and water. Tinctures are sold as liquids and are used for concentrating and preserving a botanical. They are made in different strengths that are expressed as botanical-to-extract ratios (i.e., ratios of the weight of the dried botanical to the volume or weight of the finished product). An extract is made by soaking the botanical in a liquid that removes specific types of chemicals. The liquid can be used as is or evaporated to make a dry extract for use in capsules or tablets.

Safety and regulation of herbal supplements
A common misconception about herbalism and the use of 'natural' products in general, is that 'natural' equals safe. Nature however is not benign and many plants have chemical defence mechanisms against predators that can have adverse effects on humans. The action of botanicals ranges from mild to powerful (potent). A botanical with mild action may have subtle effects. Some mild botanicals may have to be taken for weeks or months before their full effects are achieved. The dose and form of a
botanical preparation also play important roles in its safety. Teas, tinctures, and extracts have different strengths. The same amount of a botanical may be contained in a cup of tea, a few teaspoons of tincture, or an even smaller quantity of an extract. Also, different preparations vary in the relative amounts and concentrations of chemical removed from the whole botanical. The safety of herbal products may be related to the mixtures of active chemicals that they contain; their interactions with other herbs and drugs, contaminants, or adulterants; or their inherent toxicity. Active ingredients in herbs and dietary supplements can cause unexpected reactions when used with other herbs or medications. Effects on the distribution, metabolism, or excretion of drugs may be pronounced and may lead to drug toxicity. Contaminants and adulterants of herbal products can be pharmacologically active and responsible for unexpected toxicity. Because of the variability in herbal product ingredients, the actual dose of active ingredients being consumed is often variable, unpredictable, or simply unknown. When compared with adults, children may be particularly susceptible to the effects of such dosage variations by virtue of their smaller size and different capacity for detoxifying chemicals.

In the United States, FDA has limited control over products labeled a "dietary supplement." In 1994, Congress passed the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA). The DSHEA states that manufacturers don't have to prove the safety or efficacy of a product before they put it on the market. Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), the dietary supplement manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that a dietary supplement is safe before it is marketed. FDA is responsible for taking action against any unsafe dietary supplement product after it reaches the market. Generally, manufacturers do not need to register their products with FDA nor get FDA approval before producing or selling dietary supplements. Manufacturers must make sure that product label information is truthful and not misleading. Currently, there are no FDA regulations that are specific to dietary supplements that establish a minimum standard of practice for manufacturing dietary supplements. However, FDA intends to issue regulations on good manufacturing practices that will focus on practices that ensure the identity, purity, quality, strength and composition of dietary supplements. In some countries in Europe, however, herbs are classified as drugs and are regulated. The German Commission E, an expert medical panel, actively researches their safety and effectiveness.

FDA regulations require that certain information appear on dietary supplement labels. Information that must be on a dietary supplement label includes: a descriptive name of the product stating that it is a "supplement;" the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor; a complete list of ingredients; and the net contents of the product. In addition, each dietary supplement (except for some small volume products or those produced by eligible small businesses) must have nutrition labeling in the form of a "Supplement Facts" panel. This label must identify each dietary ingredient contained in the product.

Safety advices from NCCAM, National Institutes of Health

It's important to know that just because an herbal supplement is labeled "natural" does not mean it is safe or without any harmful effects. For example, the herbs kava and comfrey have been linked to serious liver damage.

Herbal supplements can act in the same way as drugs. Therefore, they can cause medical problems if not used correctly or if taken in large amounts. In some cases, people have experienced negative effects even though they followed the instructions on a supplement label.

Women who are pregnant or nursing should be especially cautious about using herbal supplements, since these products can act like drugs. This caution also applies to treating children with herbal supplements.

It is important to consult your health care provider before using an herbal supplement, especially if you are taking any medications (whether prescription or over-the-counter). Some herbal supplements are known to interact with medications in ways that cause health problems. Even if your provider does not know about a particular supplement, he can access the latest medical guidance on its uses, risks, and interactions.

If you use herbal supplements, it is best to do so under the guidance of a medical professional who has been properly trained in herbal medicine. This is especially important for herbs that are part of an alternative medical system, such as the traditional medicines of China, Japan, or India.

In the United States, herbal and other dietary supplements are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as foods. This means that they do not have to meet the same standards as drugs and over-the-counter medications for proof of safety, effectiveness, and what the FDA calls Good Manufacturing Practices.

The active ingredient(s) in many herbs and herbal supplements are not known. There may be dozens, even hundreds, of such compounds in an herbal supplement. Scientists are currently working to identify these ingredients and analyze products, using sophisticated technology. Identifying the active ingredients in herbs and understanding how herbs affect the body are important research areas for the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

Published analyses of herbal supplements have found differences between what's listed on the label and what's in the bottle. This means that you may be taking less--or more--of the supplement than what the label indicates. Also, the word "standardized" on a product label is no guarantee of higher product quality, since in the United States there is no legal definition of "standardized" (or "certified" or "verified") for supplements.

Some herbal supplements have been found to be contaminated with metals, unlabeled prescription drugs, microorganisms, or other substances.

There has been an increase in the number of Web sites that sell and promote herbal supplements on the Internet. The Federal Government has taken legal action against a number of company sites because they have been shown to contain incorrect statements and to be deceptive to consumers. It is important to know how to evaluate the claims that are made for supplements.

Kama Raja

In order for erection to occur, the nerves of the penis must be functioning properly, blood circulation to the penis must be adequate, and there must be stimulus from the brain. If there is something interfering with any or all of these conditions, a full erection is not possible. Common causes for erectile dysfunction include diseases that affect blood flow and nerves, psychological factors such as stress, depression, and performance anxiety, and injury to the penis.

According to the National Institutes of Health, a majority of men at some point in their life experience occasional failure to achieve erection which can occur for a variety of reasons such as drinking too much alcohol or from being extremely tired. Failure to achieve erection less than 20% of the time is not unusual and medical treatment is rarely needed. But the causes for this minor problem might lead to a permanent condition where failure to achieve erection occurs more than 50% of the time. Once this stage of erectile dysfunction is reached, medical treatment is required to reverse the situation. Approximately 5 percent of 40-year-old men and between 15 and 25 percent of 65-year-old men experience erectile dysfunction on a long-term basis.

Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery to deal with many problems related to sexual dysfunction. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects. Non-medical methods of penis enhancement through exercise using weights, straps, rings, and pumps have proven destructive to muscle tissue. And natural pills provide fleeting, inconsistent results.

Sexual dysfunction may take many forms. The most common problems are Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (low sex drive) and Penile Erectile Dysfunction (difficulties in achieving and maintaining an erection). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the key causes of sexual dysfunction is due to rapid urbanization, increased consumption of energy-dense foods high in saturated fats and sugars and depression. When a man finds himself unable to get and maintain a sufficient erection due to physical causes, it can cause depression and anxiety. By the same token, when a man finds he suffers ED only in certain circumstances, physiological factors may be the source of the problem.

While psychological factors can play a big role in sexual problems, studies have suggested that 20 - 50% of men with erectile dysfunction have some organic basis for their problem. Sexual dysfunction may range from mild (low sex drive, weak erections, lack of energy, slow and weak ejaculation) to severe (total inability to achieve erection and complete lack of sexual desire). In many cases, sexual dysfunction or sluggish sexual responses may be caused by poor systemic health, stress, the build up of toxins and unhealthy lifestyles.

In a way, sexual health can be seen as a sort of ‘barometer’ of overall systemic and psychological health. Men who are healthy, fit and confident about themselves and about life usually report a vigorous and satisfying sex life, no matter what their age.

Practitioners of Ayurveda have many centuries of knowledge regarding the use of herbal medicines and holistic techniques to treat a wide variety of medical problems and to promote optimum health and functioning. In this respect, certain Yoga techniques practices have been identified as having the ability to improve sexual functioning and overall systemic health.

Traditionally, Yoga is the divine science, a gift of God to his creation. When man has reached a certain stage of evolution, Yoga is "revealed" to a few great saints who are empowered to transmit it to qualified pupils and through them to successive generations. The earliest archaeological evidence for the practice of yoga is afforded by drawings of men in the posture of yogic meditation excavated in the Indus valley - dating from at least 3000 BC! The earliest literary evidence is found in references to the practice of Yoga in the Vedas, the oldest books in the world, parts of which were composed in Northern India not later the 2500 BC; it is widely believed by scholars that Yoga existed and was handed down orally for thousands of years before that.

India Herbs has a seasoned group of Ayurvedic doctors specialized in Vajikarana, one of the eight major specialties of Ayurveda (the ancient science dealing with medicine). Vajikarana is "a process or a drug, which make a man sexually as strong as a horse and able to copulate for long and frequently with many wives and partners. "

Studies suggest that almost half of women in the United States suffer from one or more of four types of sexual dysfunction: low libido (hypoactive sexual desire), sexual arousal disorder, orgasmic disorder, and sexual pain disorder. Low libido is the most prevalent. According to the Female Sexual Medicine Center at UCLA Medical Center, low sex drive may stem from emotional issues, relationship problems, inability to orgasm, decreased vaginal and clitoral sensitivity, lack of lubrication, hormonal imbalance, stress, lack of sleep, and many other reasons.

The consequences of not treating this problem can be severe. Ongoing friction in relationships due to sexual problems can lead to separation, unfaithfulness, and prolonged emotional duress for both partners. Many women fear sexual intercourse so much that they avoid male companionship and possible relationships. As the problem becomes ingrained in the psyche, possibilities for love and satisfying sex life are lost and replaced by loneliness, low self-esteem, and depression.

Thus far, Western medicine has not offered successful treatments for female sexual dysfunction. The psychological symptoms are being treated with aggressive prescription drugs. Unfortunately, this does not solve the problem and often results in unwanted and even dangerous side effects.

"Cats are masters at hiding illness, so it may not always be obvious if they are sick," says Ilona Rodan, DVM, Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners, certified in Feline Practice and Co-Chair of the American Association of Feline Practitioners. Did you know your cat could be sick and you may not know it until it's too late? Cats are naturally designed to conceal their weaknesses from predators. This built-in protection mechanism may help in the wild, but it is a potential detriment for a domestic pet with a disease or condition that could be treated.

According to a report by the American Association of Feline Practitioners (AAFP), there are approximately 90 million domestic cats in the United States. Cats outnumber dogs by 20%. Cats visit the veterinarian half as often as dogs and veterinarians annually lose approximately 15% of their client base due to unresolved feline health issues. According to one survey, while 46.1% of cat owners consider their cats to be family members, 34.7% of all cat-owning households do not visit the veterinarian.

Some symptoms of failing feline health are:

• Inappropriate Elimination Behavior
• Changes in Interactions
• Changes in Activity Patterns
• Changes in Sleeping Habits
• Unexplained Weight Loss or Gain
• Changes in Food and Water Consumption
• Changes in Grooming
• Signs of Stress
• Changes in Vocalization
• Bad Breath or Odor

Despite continued advances in feline healthcare, behavior problems are still the most common reason for cat euthanasia. While diseases pose a threat to your cat, misunderstanding its behavior can be just as dangerous. Research shows negative behavior (like destroying furniture and urinating outside the litter box ) is the primary reason that cats are euthanized. Often these behaviors are associated with curable illnesses.

Patches of hair loss or a greasy or matted appearance can signal underlying diseases. A decrease in grooming behavior is associated with fear, anxiety, obesity, or illnesses. An increase in grooming may be a sign of a skin problem. Your cat can be stressed despite having an "easy" life because the social organization of cats is different from that of people and dogs. Changes in the family, such as adding a new pet, should be done gradually. A stressed cat may spend more time awake and scanning its environment, withdraw from society, and exhibit signs of depression like fluctuating appetite.

Anemia is commonly associated with specific diseases in cats like chronic renal failure. A hormone called erythropoietin (EPO) is produced by the kidneys and stimulates the bone marrow to produce new red blood cells to replace old and worn ones in circulation. In diseases such as chronic renal failure, EPO levels may be decreased and anemia may develop as a result. Typical signs associated with anemia are decreased activity and poor appetite.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the most common cause of chronic vomiting and diarrhea in cats, is a disease in which diet may have an important role. The intestinal wall becomes thickened by inflammatory cells, and the microscopic and gross surface folds of the intestinal lining are flattened, leading to a great loss of surface area. As the surface area is reduced, the ability of the cat to digest and absorb nutrients is reduced, leading to weight loss in the face of normal or increased appetite. The stools often become looser and in some cases, more odorous. As cats are obligate carnivores, the carnivorous diet provides cats with a ready dietary source of certain nutrients not supplied by an omnivorous or vegetarian diet, thus negating the need to synthesize these nutrients. As most household cats no longer hunt, and without the evolutionary pressure to maintain the relevant metabolic pathways, cats have lost their ability to synthesize the micronutrients which are amply present in the tissues of their traditional prey.

Obesity has also become a serious health concern for cats bringing with it increased risks of diabetes mellitus, joint disease, and other problems. Cats with hyperthyroidism or diabetes mellitus can lose weight despite good appetites.

According to the American Veterinary Medical Association's (AVMA) U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook, 58.3% of all American households have at least one pet. There are more than 60 million pet dogs in America and the average pet dog visits its veterinarian almost twice as many times as the average dog. Pet owners are now spending more than ever before on their companions with four legs (approximately US $19 billion annually in 2006 nearly doubled from US $11.1 billion in 1996).

In the past, dietary recommendations for dogs were largely drawn from nutritional management of diseases common to the aging process. Research, however, has shown that special nutrition can proactively prevent health problems common in dogs, such as the following:

* Obesity
* Loss of Muscle Mass
* Inappropriate Elimination Behavior
* Changes in Interactions
* Changes in Activity Patterns
* Unexplained Weight Loss or Gain
* Changes in Food and Water Consumption
* Changes in Grooming
* Signs of Stress
* Bad Breath or Odor

Parasites exist internally and externally in dogs. Intestinal parasitism exists in all ages of dogs with the greatest frequency in puppies. Types and incidence of parasitism varies with geographic regions. Additionally, age and immune status are significant factors influencing gastrointestinal (GI) parasitism. Most parasites are diagnosed by a microscopic fecal examination using various chemicals to help concentrate the population of parasite eggs. Some parasites are visible to the naked eye although they are not consistently shed into the feces.

Blood chemistry is regulated by negative feedback in order to keep the body in homeostasis (optimal equilibrium). The levels of glucose in the blood are monitored by the cells in the pancreas. If the blood glucose level falls to dangerous levels (caused by very heavy exercise or lack of food for extended periods), some pancreas cells release glucagon, a hormone that acts on liver cells to increase blood glucose levels. Stored glycogen is converted into glucose by a process called glycogenolysis. The glucose is then released into the bloodstream, increasing blood sugar levels.

Blood sugar levels are also increased by "stress" hormones such as adrenalin, steroids, infections, trauma, and the ingestion of food. When levels of blood sugar rise, whether as a result of glycogen conversion, or from the digestion of a meal, a different hormone is released from beta cells found in the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. This hormone, insulin, causes the liver to convert more glucose into glycogen. This process is called glycogenesis and it forces about two-thirds of body cells (primarily muscle and fat tissue cells) to take up glucose from the blood, thereby decreasing blood sugar levels.

A breakdown in body homeostasis can lead to dangerously high or low blood sugar levels. This can become a chronic condition leading to the onset of diabetes.

According to the World Health Organization, in 1985, an estimated 30 million people worldwide had diabetes. By 1995, this number shot up to 135 million. The latest WHO estimate for the number of people with diabetes worldwide is 177 million. This will increase to at least 300 million by 2025. The number of deaths attributed to diabetes is likely to be around 4 million. These projections take into account the fact that there will be more people in the world due to population growth and that there will be more elderly people due to population aging. They also account for urbanization - the fact that people are moving from rural areas to cities, particularly in developing countries. This migration affects the number of people who are likely to have diabetes, because people living in cit
