Long -long back in 1960-s after I  became a doctor  and  learned through Boyd's  Pathology Book that our body can accumulate from 500 m  to 1000 ml of fluid (water in  our system without giving  ant symptom  or sign clinically nor even a sign of  fluid accumulation in  costo-phrenic angle  to prove fluid in Pleural -space by X-ray of chest ( may not very  very accurate in my statement after about half a century i.e  today.
 But the interesting parallel I venture to draw is that : also  long after, I  studied a book  named Charak Sanghita  of AYURVEDA, i.e the knowledge  about LIFE and Health of INDIAN  VEDIC  period  (older than Even GREEK  CIVILISATION,)  where it was advised  for women who became pregnant , to wear a ring around the little toe the  foot (?left). And if the  lady  reported any feeling of tightening around, it was a sure way to know that water was getting accumulated in the body , That  was the first symptom & sign of  oedema or body-fluid Excess, when ,as proved in Modern Medicine, the Excess- accumulation of fluid was even  less than 500 ml in the  body.

What ?-- if in Modern days of Hypertension, , Circulatory diseases  or Kidney conditions, -if all men and women are advised to wear a ring around one of the little  toes!
Well this  is only the aftermath of my stray thought and is - no SCIENTIFIC  SERMON.

As  Medical students  we were told that;

'SIPHYLLIS' ,the most dreaded  Venereal  disease of  EARLIER  days, was  a GIFT  of the WESTERN  CIVILISATION and  known as  "ROYAL  DISEASE.'
Of course ,in Modern days , it has lost place to AIDS(More things to come ).
The other Dangerous habits  in the  name of   LOVE and AFFECTIONS ,-are  also WESTERN HABITS  e.g Kissing  and Hand -Shakes.{ the easiest way to get infected through   'Contacts' by  germs and Viruses.-------..

Even to -day,  the words of my great professor of Anatomy Dr. Pashupati Bose [only M.B.B.S} of Medical College Calcutta , India,  reverberates in my ear ,: " YOUR  ANUS  is Cleaner than your mouth and 'Normal Urine 'is better  than so-called drinking water , in terms of  germs , contained in it."

All  apart, Science  now tells that 'Hand-shakes ' can spread  VIRUS  faster than than many other means !
And it has been advised by SCIENCE-World (reported recently) to prefer   ELBOW-SHAKE' to Hand-shakes.
Strange  !  How are  opinions ,- Changing or  Evolving  in rapid progress..
So!  &  Finally ,- think twice  before  the  Kiss or be close  to any one , even Face-to-Face ..

DIABETES ? - ---DAMN CARE !

Remember one thing for your own sake.
You may spend your whole heath for Chops &,Cut-lets , Chowmin or Chiken- legs , if your pocket permit s and inspires you but---------------
Your brain-cells 'EAT' only Glusocse and Glucose (sugar) alone. So ! best way to whip down your Blood-sugar in blood is to take-up 'Thinking games' like chess, soduku, word- puzzles , bridge etc even planning 'Devil-Design', than spending half life-time seing T.V ( sorry, Media )
But not idle Entertainments where you stay reclined on your couch and enjoy Cricket or TV -entertaiments (receptive joys ).
Cosmologists or Mathmaticians , perhaps , have more chance of Cancer than Diabetes because -'Brain devours Sugar like hungry Sharks.

DRUGS Vs DIEASES

When sick, maybe, Doctor is your best friend but don't over load with too many medicines, even though, you are insured.
Always ask or challenge the Doctor-friend who prescribe more than 2-3 drugs.
It is a good -Doctor's obligation to offer explanation for writing all the medicines and also convince you about his Diagnosis and offer you psychological support.
Even though out of the line, I learnt that more patients are perhaps dying due to over-drugging than by diseases themselves[just like more people , -suffer and die due to over-eating than malnutrition or starvation.
To conclude in lighter vein, if people could be 'Income-taxed' according to the girth/size of their tummy(Belly-button-level ), a number of disease and more number of drugs could be declared Out-caste !

COMING OUT FROM THE HOLE

HI, my imaginary Patients !---- R U all well ?
For seven days i ran away from the Blogs to wash , -clean, my I.Q -rags.
You all must have been better off without going through my wrong advices.

My experiences tell me that , --people other than doctors claim to know about Medicine , more more often than not.
If you tell or talk about even one of your ailments, neighbours will , rush in like ' Force-feeders ''to tell you more than what even a Specialist is expected to know .
Even the great man BankimChandra [ of "Bande Maa Ta Rom" --song; ( I spell according to phonetics not as the English masters designed for us) . Once he wrote that ; " If there is any thing in excess in the Universe - --;then it is inteligence itself &alone ! For, i have never come across a man who would admit that his intelligence is anyway less than any other " !
So ! respect their wisdom but decide things for your-self with some RATIONAL approach .
But the single advice : Just admit their better intelligence but try to follow your own wisdom..

IRRITABLE STATE , WORSE THAN DEPRESSION

Worse than DEPRESSION in 21st Century Hyper--tech LIVING is IRRITABLE LIVING CONDITION [I.L.C] ike IBS(Irritable Bowel Syndrome)
The modern World is a hostile environment for Peace loving Man/woman.
Rat-Race / Media excitation ( hormonal 'Hula-hoop'),competitive Living, Perceptual contradiction in home and outside.Corporate luring , Visual pricking etc , etc & etc.
The result ; no Norma being now exist on this GLOBE., without Depression Or IRRITABLE MIND.
Result; ABNORMAL CIRCUS LIFE.
History says : During Roman invasion of FRANCE announcement were made in Advance , advising the Parisians to lock their wives for the CAESAR was COMING.
Now there a TOP-Man in FRANCE whom ,Even, Russian PM is envying. That's OK for high ranking Poiiticians who have enough PAST Times.
But how an ordinary Citizen can spend long hours in the office thinking about Free 'Caesars ' roaming around with Drugs and drinks filling up within.
So !, IRRITABLE social conditions are Worse than DEPRESSION.
Otherwise every one capable of thinking suffers from Depression. Abe Lincoln had it ; Wis ton Churchill had Depression. And running away from Depression with Modern Drug may help you but never dream to b one like any of GREAT Men. for they all had it. -
The re would not be a SUN- RISE , without accepting the Darkness of Night.

WHEN DEPRESSION spreads like DARK CLOUD

Now the NEWS that American Pharmaceutical iindustries are not so much interested in searching out for new Anti -biotics because , being a short course drug , it is less profit- makers than long -long trerm or ife- long baits drugs like ANTI-Depressants.
Interesting and true !
Rat- Race and Mammon Hunger has affected all Globally and U.S.A even more in its days of Economic Crisis and deprssion.
Living in U S A for 16 yrs or more I have found that US is more Drug -dependedant and most Drug -abused Nation ( perhaps ) .
Second Vicious cycle for Americans are, I think , TERMINAL IILNESS, a condition in which once one is old and ill entera a medical programme -trap where he or she is not even allowed to die a Natural DEATH in home amongst loving friends , neighbours or reatives but die an assured or Insured death through a proces of extended and stretched terminal sort of SUSPENDED LIVING. More & more such conditionn can be extended, more proftable it is business wise.
Don't know if i had the right to make this statement without breaking my legal status . so I make it under !st Amendment.

FIRST LINE OF DEFENCE

"Why do certain people suffer from diseases while some others do not ! Is there something inherent in certain persons that render them either more susceptible to certain diseases or less prone to others ? These are the questions older than the history of Medicine it self and yet have not been completly answered"
This was the Introduction ( in part )of a Thesis-work of a doctor in Delhi in 1960 for his M.D(Medicine) .
So the search for heriditery Cause and connection of diseases with Blood groups of you ,me and every body else went on.. And startling revelation and proof with Statistical significance had been established .

If your Blood Gr. is O you are prone to Gastric-duodenal Ulcer, if it is Gr. A you are more suscipyible to Liver cIrrhisis and Cancer of Gastro -intestinal tract (Mesodermal)and so and so forth. These knowledege in advance can help you and me to be pro-active in PREVENTION.
In short, every one should know their Bood Group as their genetic Identity and learn from his doctor , what precautions he/she should adapt , as a preventive guide line for keeping a fit body and alert mind .*
*( if you find this information helpful please, don't forget thae names of Dr. P.C Dhanda & Dr, P.S. Gupta of M. A. Medical college, Delhi University,under whose guidance and help , this work could be completed and positive resuts were discovered in a few diseases.
