CAN THE CLAIM THAT POMEGRANATE HAS THE POTENTIALS TO HEAL HEART DISEASES BE AN EXAGGERATION?
(© 16 April 2013: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)
“Financial Express” (VOL 20 NO 157 REGD NO DA 1589 / Dhaka, Tuesday, April 16, 2013) has released a feature article, reported by Syed
Zair Hussain Rizvi, with the heading “Bypassing the Bypass”, meaning thereby
that the dried seeds of a seasonal fruit in Pakistan (also grows in several
countries, including Malaysia and India) Pomegranate fruit (Botanical
Name being: Punica granatum) when consumed regularly, has the potentials to cure
many of the major diseases including heart problems.
More and direct information on this can be had by visiting the following
URL:
This seed has been in use in Indian kitchens (possibly in
several other countries as well) as a spice added while cooking chicken and the
like, since long.
Anyway, if you wish to know more about the fruit, you may want
to visit any of the sites you can get through the following in Google search
engine:
*********
According to Wikipedia:
“Pomegranates are used in cooking, baking, juices, smoothies and
alcoholic beverages, such as martinis and wine.[5]
“Many food and dietary supplement makers use pomegranate
phenolic extracts as ingredients in their products instead of the juice. One of
these extracts is ellagic
acid, which may become bioavailable only after parent
molecule punicalagins are metabolized..
“Despite limited research data, manufacturers and
marketers of pomegranate juice have liberally used evolving research results
for product promotion, especially for putative antioxidant health benefits.
“In February 2010, the FDA issued a Warning Letter to one such manufacturer,POM
Wonderful, for using published literature to make illegal
claims of unproven antioxidant and anti-disease benefits.[56][57][58]””

Friends,
You may
wonder if the claims can really be true?
In fact, my
friend Mr. Chidambaram,
Therefore, it
occurred to me that many elsewhere too should be scratching their head, wanting
to know the truth behind it.
Let me
express my opinion on this, based on my research experience in the area of Ecological
Healing System, and that comes WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICE..

I am sure
several of you must have read the story about beer drinking.
A few years
ago, a sensational story came out through the Press.
According to
the story, drinking beer daily would cure heart diseases, besides several
others.
If you are
planning to start on drinking beer (similar to a friend of mine who drank beer
after reading such a story, and continued thus until he died of liver cirrhosis), you may want to visit some
of the sites that can be found through Google search: Just click this:
I wrote an article
on beer drinking and on the reality behind the story that was based on the so-called
scientific research done by some professors (You can look for it in the Archives of THIS Blog).
I highlighted
then the errors in their experimental design that led them (and others) believe
that beer drinking was good to cure heart diseases, blood vessel blockages, kidney
stone, etc.
When it comes
to the question of evaluating the validity of the claims that Pomegranate seeds can
cure heart diseases, identical observation appears to exist.
Let me
explain the details here, for your benefit:
*********
The correct scientific (somewhat crude) procedure to test and find the effect of Pomegranate seeds on
humans should consist of the following:
To start with
we should have about, say, 200 volunteers who should be willing to undergo the
testing. (bigger the sample number, more accurate will be the result).
These people
must come from various ethnic background, different age groups, different
genders, and so on.
To 100
people, we should give Pomegranate seed extract, and that should be a definite quantity,
say 100 ml, daily, after dinner.
To another
100 people, we should give 100 ml of plain water, but that should look and
taste like Pomegranate extract.
None of the
participants should know what was the liquid he/she was drinking. They should keep believing that all of them were drinking just the same Pomegranate extract only.
Everybody’s
physical measurements (e.g., weight), blood, kidney status, heart condition,
blood pressure, heart beat, urine quality, quantity, pH, etc. should be
monitored at regular intervals.
All these people
should be under the vigilant observation of the Researcher, to make sure that
they do not take other medications on their own, and the like.
The final data
should be subjected to statistical analyses.
The results would then reveal the effects of the Pomegranate seed extract of humans.
We can then know if it really healed the major diseases, and the extent to which it did.

************
Those who
perform some kind of research with a pre-fixed mind in favour of the funding
people, may manipulate the experimental design so as to get the desired result.
Let me present here some details, so that this can be easily understood:
We know that accumulation
of excessive calcium within the body of a person tends to be the culprit for giving
(a) blood vessel thickening, (b) heart blockages, (c) kidney stones, (d)
prostate enlargement, (e) lumps, cysts, fibroids, tumours, cancers, and (f)
type-2 diabetes (For more details, please see my book "The True Causes of All Diseases")
Calcium is
alkaline.
In the
presence of Vitamin-D (our skin makes it, using sunshine), calcium will get fixed,
and that will then become insoluble.
Calcium
without vitamin-D, called Free Calcium, can dissolve in water.
Calcium can
be neutralised by an ACID SUBSTANCE.
If a person
drinks plenty of water (adequate enough to dissolve the excessive calcium that
has gone into the body through food, supplements, etc.), and URINATES all of
the water, then, the calcium excesses will go out of the body, and we’ll be
safe.
The calcium removal
will occur in a much better manner if the person drinks RAIN or
DISTILLED WATER.
It is so
because the rain water and the distilled water are ACIDS.
If the
person, for any reason, does NOT urinate enough, then, the calcium excesses
that remain within the body will give
rise to ALL the diseases listed above - the heart blockages, blood vessel thickening, kidney stone,
prostate enlargement, lumps, etc.
Now, see how
the experiment can be manipulated:
Let us choose
200 people who do NOT urinate well.
They are
people who drink only, say, half litre (2 glasses) of water daily. (To be in
good health, one should drink about 2 to 3 L, depending upon their body size, climate, etc.)
Out of this
200 people, let us NOT give any extra liquid or even extra WATER to 100 people,
who would form the CONTROL, for comparison later.
This group of
people would keep drinking only the half litre (2 glasses) of water daily, as usual.
To the other,
let us give 6 glasses of Pomegranate extract.
This + the 2
glasses of water would make up to 2 L, daily.
As a result
of this extra ‘water’ consumption, most of the calcium would get out of their
body.
Thus, the
increased water consumption alone would make this group people HEALTHIER.
Naturally,
the reduced water intake and under-urination by the CONTROL group would give
them the heart diseases, stone diseases, etc.
Based on
this, we can conclude that the Pomegranate extract has cured those who took it.
Those in the
control group had all the diseases because they did not take Pomegranate
extract.
***********
Would you
accept the above results?
If a
weak-minded researcher, or an ill-informed half-educated scientist is given big
money by the Pomegranate estate owner, or extract manufacturer, or someone with
vested interest, then, the chances of such weak-minded persons making such improper
conclusions is great.
**********
After
learning all the above, do you seriously believe that the Pomegranate extract
could cure most of the major diseases listed?
If you ask
me, I MAY ACCEPT IT, and try to re-evaluate the findings, repeating the experiments
in a proper way.
Do you know why?
Because,
there is still some chance that the Pomegranate extract could have some
capacity to cure the diseases.
Here is the
reason in its favour:
The
Pomegranate seed / juice is ACID in nature.
ACIDS are bound
to help in the removal of calcium from within the body.
As a result,
it is quite probable that it could cure the said diseases.
Without
Pomegranate extract, the RAIN WATER alone also can cure all these disases.
However, the
MOST important necessity will be to DRINK about 2 to 3 L of WATER
(depending upon the body size, weight, climatic conditions, etc.), and, to URINATE
nearly all of the 2 to 3 L of water consumed.
When one does
this way, the LIQUID INPUT / URINE OUTPUT RATIO would stand at 1.0.
When this
ratio is maintained at all times, the person would get certainly cured of his /
her heart diseases, stone diseases, type-2 Diabetes, tumours, etc.
This is how I
help people who come to my Neo Health Care clinic (in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) to
participate in my Group Therapy sessions.

Currently, my
294th Group Therapy is going on, with effect from Sunday, 14th
April, 2013.
That is the
reason why I did not put up any article in our / this BLOG for the past one
month.
As for the NEXT Group Therapy, I intend to start it on Sunday, 12 May 2013, soon AFTER the Malaysia's 13th
General Election. (Those who are interested can contact me through my e-mail: vmpalani@streamyx.com; and, it is going to be held in Kuala Lumpur, of course!)

Anyway, if
you are interested in knowing more about these diseases, and the methods for
preventing or curing them, you can read my books, starting with:
Obesity: Causes, Cure and Prevention,
Heart Problems: Causes, Cure and Prevention.

Cancer: Causes, Cure and Prevention,
Diabetes: Causes, Cure and Prevention, etc.

OK, friends,
I hope I have give you some meaningful tips through this ‘confusing’ kind of write-up..
If you developed
some dizziness while trying to understand the interpretations, kindly pardon
me.
The cure for
clearing such dizziness is to:
(a) Do Breathing Exercise - the way I have been
training people to do., and
(b) Keep your blood rich with adequate RBC,
haemoglobin, iron uptake, etc.
Well friends, bye until we meet again,
