  BRINGING UP YOUR CHILD             Your child's subconscious mind is developed from the time it is in mother's womb to 7 years of its life. The character of the child will develop during this time. Whatever you talk, think and act at this age will  be stored as a  tape recorder in your child's subconscious mind. You can make that subconscious mind clean, healthy, fearless by recording such ideas on child's mind. The whole character is built up before the age 7. Up to 7 years the child does not think.

You follow the child and see that nothing goes wrong. Infect the child does not get drowned in water or does

On top of it she was advised salt restricted diet which she was following very strictly.      Again another victim of this fable of salt restricted diet in our nation where we sweat a lot and lose salt from the body. An earnest appeal to everyone. Please check your salt and only then decide about restricting salt in your d

  Our older medical book wrote appendix is a vestigial organ and it was removed and thrown out at the smallest excuse. Sometimes the surgeons removed the appendix even during a normal abdominal surgery, thinking that it should not give trouble in future. Today we realise that, this is not correct.                 The appendix is a small worm like blind pouch at the beginning of the large gut attached to the caecum. This little organ has a large role to play in our health. It is a very important organ of our immune system and its presence is a good health aid in the body in its immune function to protect the gut and our body. It has a good immunological memory.                 Most important function of appendix is that it harbours good bacterias, which are protected in this pouch during a dysentery attack or during antibiotics onslaught.                 There bacteria are then used to re-inoculate the gut and bring it back to normal health. This biofilm that we understand today i
