ABSTRACT
Various minerals have been reported which are directly linked to our health and cancer development in body. The immune system (immunoglobulin’s, cell mediated immunity, phagocytosis complement, lysosomes, interferon, metabolic function, hormones, metabolic and respiratory alkalosis) is the natural mechanism which defends against cancer. Minerals like zinc, selenium, magnesium, vanadium, and germanium augment this natural mechanism. In this review various aspects of these mineral are discussed and their relation with cancer.
ABSTRACT
Colors are capable of influencing many aspects of our lives, including our mood, mental state and energy level. According to color therapy, each color is thought to be associated with one of seven energy centers. The method of color therapy is based on the law of resonant colors interaction, conterminous to frequency characteristics of body. Colored light can be used directly on the body's health and immune strength, affecting the body and the emotions. It does not alter the material make up of the body, but rather the vibrational aspect, similar to homeopathy. The treatment itself involves the application of colored light to the acupuncture points on the skin with an instrument that resembles a simple penlight. Treatment by color can be performed on finger meridians, on chakras, painting the certain points by the certain color following the laws of colors interaction (and consequently, energies) and thus changing the energy potential (balance) both in the point, and in all meridian, and, hence, in organ.
ABSTRACT
Aim of this study was to see any effect on respiratory functions in hypothyroid patients after pranayama (yoga). The subjects for the study were 20 hypothyroid females, 39.70±8.27 years of mean age referred from medicine department of UCMS & G.T.B. Hospital. Spiro metric recordings were taken with hypair (version-1.28). Baseline (first) recordings were taken when patient came for the first time. Patients came to yoga lab in physiology department for 21 days continuously where they were trained by the yoga instructors and then told to do pranayama at home and called at regular intervals after 7 days to see the compliance. The breathing exercises were done for 45 minutes everyday. After 6 months of pranayama second recording was taken and compared with the baseline. There were significant improvement in forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1), Maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) and Inspiratory Capacity(IC). Thus Pranayama and meditation has beneficial effect on pulmonary functions of hypothyroid patients along with conventional treatment.
