WHAT MADE MISS WORLD CONTESTANT YUMARA LOPEZ DIE AT 22

WHAT COULD HAVE MADE MISS WORLD CONTESTANT YUMARA LOPEZ DIE AT 22

Many in the world must have felt too bad to have read the news about the premature death of Miss Yumara Lopez of Nicaragua.

************

Sad, indeed!

Miss Lopez is said to have died of brain cancer, called Grade 2 Astrocytoma (astro = star-shaped. cyte = cell. Ma = tumour)

It is said (Wikepedia, 2016) to be slow-growing, and BENIGN most of the time, meaning, it tends to remain NON-CANCEROUS.

It is also said to be prevalent in younger people who suffer from SEIZURES* (i.e., epileptic attacks).

(* I have explained in my previous publications and postings that seizures occur when there is inadequate oxygen supply to the brain. Such an inadequacy can also happen if the blood supply to the brain gets impeded. That can mean, if a tumour in the brain suppresses some parts of the brain and thereby the blood vessels there, oxygen supply can get impeded, thus causing the seizures. Such seizures enhance the blood flow, and thereby the oxygen supply gets resumed, resulting in the cessation of the seizures.) 

Grade-2 Astrocytoma can ‘spread’ to nearby good cells in the brain.

**********

Let us evaluate the situation, based on my (Dr.Palani’s) research findings / theory:

THE REALITY:

Any cell in the SOFT TISSUE (e.g., muscles are made of soft tissues; bones are of hard tissues) is capable of absorbing CARBOHYDRATES (i.e., sugars), enhanced by the Mitochondria present within the cell. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_tissue).

These cells can become ‘bloated up’ when they receive too much of carbohydrates.

When a person eats TOO MUCH of carbohydrates – A LOT MORE THAN he/she can BURN OUT as energy, that UNUSED EXCESS (carbohydrate / sugar / glucose / animal starch / glycogen) gets STORED in the cells of the SOFT TISSUES of any organ – in any part of the body.

The above phenomenon is similar to a plant storing its carbohydrates (i.e., starch, synthesised from photosynthesis) in the tubers (e.g., potato, turnip, carrot, etc.) or in the aerial fruits (pumpkin, apples, etc.)

Let us see the sequence:

If and when there is un-utilisable EXCESS of carbohydrates within the body, it is taken to an organ made of SOFT TISSUES.

The carbohydrates, perhaps in the form of glycogen, enter into ONE SOFT CELL in that organ, ‘sucked-in’ with the help of the Mitochondria that is inside that cell.

As and when more and more unused glycogen keeps coming in, more and more of the soft cells in that tissue get filled in.

Further input of the glycogen, for want of MORE ‘empty’ cells, tends to OVER-FILL each of those soft cells, thus making EACH cell into a BLOATED structure, creating a pressure on the cell membrane from within.

As a result, the cell tends to split mechanically into two – i.e., the asexual MITOTIC cell division occurs.

This way, one cell becomes two, and two become four, and so on, until numerous cells – in proportion to the need of storage space, are formed.

When too many over-bulged cells form at one location, it would turn into a CYST / LUMP.

If such a lump forms in the breast of a woman, for want of space on the inner side of the body, it would bulge out.

If such a bulge forms in the brain, since the hard skull would not allow any protrusion on the outer side, the lump would only press the inner part of the tender brain to get ‘lodged there.

In other words, the lump would press the brain, thus causing some adverse damage. Seizures described above is one such damage.

Until this stage, since the CYST / lump consists of nothing else than plain GLYCOGEN, it tends to remain as a BENIGN structure only.

*********

How and when does a benign glycogen-storing lump turn into a CANCER?

What makes the benign lump into cancer?

Let us evaluate further:

**********

When a person eats food or drinks water (or any liquid), it may not be possible to consume the exact quantity that is required by the body.

However, when the body’s need for a particular nutrient or water is fulfilled, our brain creates in us a sense of SATISFACTION.

If we over-consume the same even after the satisfaction, we develop some discomfort initially, and then we start hating it.

In spite of the hatred, if we force-in more of it, our brain gives us a nauseating feeling, and subsequent intake makes us vomit the excess. This sequence happens to guard us from falling sick due to excesses of anything – even if that happens to be the best food or medicine.

If we happen to somehow (by changing the taste, flavour, etc.) manage to push in still more of the same into our digestive system, our body gathers such excesses, and eliminates them as EXCRETORY wastes.

Most of the time, only the indigestible fibrous wastes get removed as faecal matter through the rectum and anus.

The water-soluble excesses get carried, helped by the LYMPH fluid, into the kidneys, and gets excreted as part of the URINE.

*********

Let us consider the fate of CALCIUM that is present in nearly EVERYTHING that goes into the intestinal tract.

We (adults) need about 500 mg or so of Calcium daily.

The health-care industry has convinced people that calcium is very good for a variety of reasons – even if that happens to be too much than what can be utilised by the body.

As a result, most of the manufactured foods and drinks tend to contain excess of it.

This makes nearly all the people (including infants) to consume far too much of calcium daily.

The undeniable fact that remains true at all times is that, anything in excess will be harmful / dangerous. Calcium does not form an exception to this rule.

So, when we end up consuming abundant Calcium – a lot more than our body’s needs, that Calcium excess gets excreted along with the urine – in a dissolved state.

The body then remains healthy.

However, a HUGE problem arises only when these Calcium excesses are RETAINED WITHIN the body, without getting thrown out of the body.

********

What can enhance such Calcium retentions?

The following would explain it:

********

Elephants, rabbits, and all vegetable-grazing animals, as well as all the sea-living organisms end up consuming almost ‘unlimited’ quantities of Calcium.

In Nature, all such Calcium EXCESSES get excreted from all of the wild animals then and there through the urinations*.

(* Unless, of course, there is water scarcity in their living environment that can be due to various reasons, including a dry spell in the climate.)

When it comes to most of the domesticated animals that are under the care of their care-takers, they depend upon their ‘masters’ for their drinking-water needs.

If less water is provided to a cow tied in the shed, it can urinate only less urine. Such lesser quantities of urine can remove only lesser quantities of the Calcium excesses, leaving behind in the body MOST of the excesses.

Then, such animals tend to suffer the ill-effects that are related to the Calcium excesses.

********

When it comes to humans, we have the capacity to control our urinations.

·       If we do not drink adequate quantity of water, we can end up under-urinating.

·       If we allow loss of our body liquids through profuse sweating, we can end up voiding very little urine.

·       If we drink only soups, juices, and the like, that too can add on more calcium to the body’s stock, rather than helping in the removal of the excesses.

·       We tend to train our body to withhold urges for urination, under the pretext of being in the school, in a meeting, not having a toilet, driving, and the like.

As a result of all the above, most of the calcium excesses tend to remain within the body.

***********

Now, the following question arises:

How, or where do such Calcium EXCESSES get stored within the body?

Or, what can happen if too much of the Calcium gets stored within the body?

***********

Another doubt can also arise at this point.

Is under-urination the only factor that brings about calcium accumulation within the body?

No! There is yet another important source, and that has relevance to the Calcium content of plant materials eaten, but NOT digested and absorbed by the intestinal tract.

Often, a significant quantity of the calcium present in such consumed vegetable matter remains intact, and then it gets removed as part of the faecal matter.

This occurs, as per my recognition, when the body’s need for the Calcium mineral is satisfied, the brain rejects all the excesses by not absorbing them.

In other words, if the food (and drinks) consumed has very little Calcium in them – less than the body’s needs, then, nearly ALL of it may get absorbed, and only an insignificant quantity may get thrown out of the body.

When the undigested organic bulk arrives at the colo-rectal region as faecal matter, it tends to be in a SOLID and SHAPELY form.

This consolidated faeces turns SLIMY or WATERY when it gets mixed with WATER in the end-part of the digestive tract.

Consumption of certain food items such as over-ripe fruits that contain excessive fibres (e.g., fully ripe papaya), chocolates, certain ultra-refined wheat-based items such as some of the bakery products (e.g., biscuits, cakes), etc. tend to make the faeces watery / slimy (diarrhoea-like).

In the presence of water, the calcium in the faeces tends to get dissolved, and that enhances its easy absorption by the glandular cells present in the lining of the colo-rectal region, thus increasing further the ALREADY EXCESSIVE Calcium bulk that has accumulated within the body.

In other words, BOTH – the under-urination as well as defecating slimy faeces – jointly spoil the good health.

(I have even recognised that it is the prolonged (for five years or so) colo-rectal absorption of the hither-to unabsorbed calcium by the lining glandular adenomatous cells that gives rise to colo-rectal cancer.)

**********
As described earlier, the combined / cumulative Calcium excesses enter into the cells of the soft tissues that are already enlarged to form benign cysts / lumps, now get over-filled with these Calcium excesses, and turn them into HARDENED STRUCTURES.

(I have found that these ‘rocky’ structures cannot be dissolved, and they can only be removed from the concerned organ through surgical procedures.)

THIS HARDENING TURNS THE BENIGN CYSTS INTO TUMOURS / CANCERS.

If the Calcium excess continues to come, then these cancers become much enlarged in size (often cited by Oncologists as “aggressive”).

Under normal circumstances, withholding the urinal pressure / urge, along with eating ‘undesirable’ foods (as listed above) tend to become a HABIT of the concerned people.

Therefore, these ‘bad’ habits, also because the health-science books and publications do not highlight these as ‘dangerous’ and ‘bad’ habits, the ‘victims’ tend to continue their under-urination and ‘wrong-food eating habits’.

As a result, the patient tends to carry on accumulating more and more of the Calcium EXCESSES.

So, endlessly, the process goes on until the CANCER STRUCTURE reaches a size that becomes beyond the tolerance (or accommodating) scope of the ORGAN in which the cancer has developed.

*******
The fully ‘matured’ cancer, in reality, does NOT spread to other organs, as is stipulated by Oncologists.

The following is what happens at this so-called ‘advanced stage’:

*******
The patient continues to under-urinate, and continues to defecate slimy faeces, thus allowing a continuous and non-stop accumulation of the calcium excesses.

Since no more ‘empty’ cells are available in THAT particular organ (where the ‘huge’ cancer has already reached its maximum storing capacity), the freshly on-coming Calcium EXCESSES will have to find a new location for their storage.

In that search, the ‘empty’ cells that make up the soft tissues of another organ become the target location for the ‘fresh’ dumping of those freshly on-coming excesses.

Unfortunately, this process is mistaken by Oncologists, and therefore, they call it an advanced stage of metastasis (i.e., spreading of the cancer cells.).

Thus, it should be clear that there are NO such thing as “cancer CELLS”, and the spreading of cancers to other parts of the body also does not occur.

Therefore, using chemical poisons (chemotherapy) or radiations to kill the non-existing thing does not seem to make any sense.

In the name of ‘killing’ the potential cancer cells, after a surgical removal of the hardened cancer structure, they end up destroying the good cells of those soft tissues! Thus, it forms a misadventure that paves a way for an early death of the patient.

The right procedure, as per my suggestion, should involve the surgical removal of the cancers, followed by some DECALCIFICATION of the calcium excesses only, as described in most of my publications.

********

Based on my clinical observations (which I have recorded in my book on cancer in 2010), the following must be true:

·       When girls and boys, during their juvenile period (between 10 and 20 years or so) drink plenty of water and sweat profusely (by participating in sports activities), they end up under-urinating: they void little urine twice or thrice daily.

·       This under-urination forms a habit, and that enhances accumulation of calcium excesses within their body.

·       Since these accumulations are occurring during the growth period, their long bones (i.e., limb bones) grow very long, and they end up becoming VERY TALL persons.

·       After their juvenile period, with effect from their 20 or so, their growth in terms of height stops. In girls, the soft tissues in their BREASTS begin to accommodate these calcium excesses, and that process makes their breasts VERY BIG.

·       These girls, if they happen to eat more food than their body’s needs, they would put on weight, become overweight and obese. They would then look very tall and huge-bodied women (or ‘giant-sized men’, in the case of over-eating boys).

·       If these girls eat VERY LITTLE FOOD, they remain VERY SLIM, but with HUGE BREASTS.

·       Since these tall and slim girls with huge breasts continue to under-urinate, they will be experiencing profuse sweating (hyperhidrosis) all the time, and that would also make them emit strong body sweat (urine) odour. Their palms and feet would be moist / watery all the time.

·       In the case of these under-urinating, slim, tall, big-breasted, profusely sweating, strong odour emitting, less food eating (similar to starving, anorexia nervosa-like) girls, the Calcium EXCESSES would accumulate in the soft tissues of the BREASTS or in the BRAIN, depending upon certain lifestyle habits.

·       If these girls continue performing their strenuous sports activities (such as Marathon running) even in their late teens and early twenties, they seem to be developing Leukaemia (i.e., blood cancer) (see Palaniappan, 2010).

         *********
At this, we may want to question as what makes the cancer     to occur in the breast tissues in some, and in the brain tissues in others.

    Here is the answer:
    ************

We know that apple from the tree drops to the ground because of the earth’s gravitational pull.

In the case of blood circulation within the body, the heart pumps it, and therefore, the gravitational pull cannot have any effect over its flow.

However, when it comes to the LYMPH fluid that circulates in all parts of the body though the false ducts, that system has NO heart or heart-like pumping mechanism of any kind.

The lymph moves only by muscular movements.

If we lie down flat in a sleeping position, without any movement, the lymph fluid stagnates, and goes down to the lower parts of the body – to be horizontal, in line with the ground surface.

Often, it is the LYMPH fluid that forms the DRAINAGE system that carries all the wastes, including the Calcium EXCESSES*.

(*The blood cannot carry such excesses, because the Calcitonin hormone that secretes from the thyroid gland does not allow such Calcium excesses to be in the blood, since the latter can change the pH of the blood to higher alkalinity from being pH7.4 that may result in the death of the person.)

If the girl sleeps WITHOUT A PILLOW, resting her head at a lesser level compared to her body level, then, ALL the Calcium EXCESSES in the liquid state are bound to flow to her BRAIN, where it can accumulate in the cells of the SOFT CELLS there – namely, the brain – either in the spaces between the cells, or inside the cell itself.

This flow is enhanced by the earth’s gravitational pull.

If the girl happens to sleep using, say two pillows, the GLYCOGEN excesses would flow to the breast area, and accumulate in the soft cells there to form the cysts and then into a cancer when the Calcium EXCESSES arrive.

************

    Another question arises at this occasion.

If the girl has been eating very little food, or almost starving, how can GLYCOGEN build-up occur in the soft cells of the breasts?

I have observed numerous times clinically that this happens only when a girl of this kind takes GLUCOSE (as Dextrose, dissolved in water) to obtain the required energy for her very living as well as to perform her sports activities.

When a person consumes Glucose drinks frequently, he/she almost definitely develops a cyst or a benign tumour in some parts of the body.

If there happens to be a wound* (or burnt tissue in the oesophagus due to drinking excessive hot drinks, all the time), these glucose excesses get stored in those cells as glycogen, which, when added up with GLUCOSE EXCESSES, turn into CANCERS.

(* The recurrence of benign cysts at the sutured locations appears to be due to this reason.)

The purpose of glycogen accumulation at the wounds appears to be occurring in order to heal the wounds.

**********

So, based on all the above understanding, we can now explain the phenomenon that could have occurred in the case of Miss Lopez, which led her to her premature death at 22:

Miss Lopez must have been:

·       Eating very little food all the time, and that must have kept her very slim (as seen in her earlier photos).

·       She must have been drinking plenty of dextrose / glucose drinks for her energy needs.

·       She must have been a very active person (e.g., in sports) in her juvenile growth period (between 10 and 20, or so).

·       She must have been drinking plenty of water all the time.

·       She must have been experiencing excessive sweating all the time.

·       She must have been under-urinating all the time (just twice or thrice daily).

·       She must have emitted strong body odour (sweat smell, few hours after her shower), all the time.

·       She must have avoided using pillow while sleeping, all the time.

·       Towards her later years (closer to her death), her later-photo, where her face looks muscular, shows she must have eaten more food for her energy, rather than taking glucose.

If a person close to her, like her mother or any other family member is asked, she may vouch all the above were true.

If they can vouch, then the chances of W.H.O. as well as other researchers may be willing to accept my findings as true, and THAT recognition can save BILLIONS of people from their early and miserable deaths.

Thanks, friends,

With love and affection, and with sincere prayers for the SOUL of Miss Yumara Lopez to rest in peace, in heaven, and with God Himself.

WHOOPING COUGH: Causes, Cure, and Prevention

WHOOPING COUGH: Causes, Cure, and Prevention
(Copyrighted: 24 January 2014: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

Another name for this disease is "Pertussis".

It is said to be a highly contagious one, caused by a bacteria called Bordetella pertussis.

Have you had a chance to observe the spreading of this disease?

Although it is said to be highly contagious, it does not affect all the children who may be exposed to this bacteria.

Do you know why?

Let me explain it here. However, even before offering you an acceptable explanation, let us know the already known facts about this health problem that mainly affects children.

The "Star" newspaper in Malaysia has highlighted this disease, written by Datuk Dr. Zulkifli Ismail. (See Star2, Thurs; 23.1.2014: Health, p.15).

In addition, if you wish to read more about it, you can go through your Google search engine, by typing the name of this disease: The URL being: https://www.google.com/#q=Pertussis

 Some such details include the following:

When a child gets this disease, the cough is said to remain for 100 days, before it disappears.

The symptoms include:

* Severe and continued cough

* The cough stage is said to last for about six weeks before subsiding (Wikipedia)

* The child can faint

* Yawning and FITS may occur

* Pneumonia can also develop.

* Brain damage, and even death may occur.


Let ME explain here the reasons for the occurrence of all these symptoms, for each problem has a definite reason that is not known to the medical fraternity yet:

In the first place, the bacteria tends to live in a child whose body is ALKALINE, and not acidic.

In other words, if the child's body is in a mild state of hyperacidosis, the child would NOT get this bacteria.

A child's body can become overly alkalized, because of (1) essentially under-urination, (2) defecating slimy faeces, because of unsuitable milk preparations and the like, and (3) the presence of far too much of calcium in the baby food.

The body that has become highly alkalized this way becomes susceptible for the infection by this bacteria.

Those children whose body is in a mildly acid state (i.e., hyperacidosis state) will not get infected*.

(* Under normal conditions, such a condition may not occur if the child happens to under-urinate.

Of course, high protein diet and other acid foods and drinks can acidify the body - but, mostly the acidification tends to occur in localized areas of the body, such as in the knee cap in adults).

Secondly,
when a child under-urinates after drinking plenty of liquids (e.g., milk, juices, water), then, the withheld water will get out of the body in the form excessive sweat (giving rise to hyperhidrosis).

When hyperhidrosis occurs, the skin surface, due to evaporation of the water, cools down.

When the body surface is chill, the moisture-borne air (i.e., air with high relative humidity, RH) that is inhaled through the nose, condenses as water droplets in the numerous breathing holes (the alveoli) present in the lungs.

These droplets block the holes, and make air exchange (i.e., breathing) difficult.

Flute produces noise (musical notes) when air passes through impeded holes.

Likewise, when air passes through the blocked holes, wheezing noise is made. (In the long run, this condition gives rise to bronchitis and asthma).

When breathing holes get blocked, in order to create some clearance space through them for air exchange, the brain induces cough.

Since water droplets keep on flooding the holes repeatedly, the cough too will have to be repeated.

If abundant water rapidly and repeatedly clog up the holes in a child whose body is in an alkaline state and infected with the bacteria Bordetella pertussis, then, the continuous cough becomes chronic, and that forms the WHOOPING COUGH.

Administration of antibiotics may kill and suppress the infection.

Yet, the continued 'nagging' cough may not stop. 

This is so because, the child, unless induced to urinate liberally, will continue to have the hyperhidrosis.

This lets us know that the prevention of whooping cough can be achieved if a child is made to urinate liberally all the time, as a habit.

I have observed in a large number of susceptible children that it is tightly worn napkin that tends to discourage liberal urination.

For that matter, if the infected child suffering from whooping cough is made to urinate liberally, the hyperhidrosis will get corrected, and that will prevent water condensation in the lungs, thus help in an early recovery from the disease.

In addition to the above, feeding the child with rain water or distilled water (these are naturally acidic) for a week or so (increasing in quantity gradually), will also help the child in recovering from the bacterial infection.

Now, you may want to know as why an infected child should develop other symptoms.

The following are the explanations:

When the brain runs short of oxygen, and when the body has accumulated too much of carbon dioxide, the brain induces yawning, so that the carbon dioxide will get expelled out of the body.

The blocked breathing holes bring about this impeded air exchange.

I have explained in my book "Obesity: Causes, Cure, and Prevention" the causes for seizures = fitz = epilepsy.

Brain failure, leading to headache, migraine, fainting, coma and death can occur if the brain does not receive oxygen.

One way by which the brain can help is to induce seizures in the person.

When body shakes up violently, breathing (i.e., oxygen inhalation) gets enhanced, thus 'saving' the person from death.

When lungs get clogged up with excessive moisture for a prolonged period, that chronic situation / environment enhances the onset of pneumonia.
*******
So friends, having understood the reasons / risk factors that bring about the whooping cough or Pertussis, you can certainly help in the prevention of the disease in children under your care.

Kindly note that all the above explanations are my own original findings, and they cannot be found in any other publication, in any language, in any place, and in any other mainstream or alternative medicines.

Well, with best wishes until I come up with another interesting and useful article,

Yours sincerely,

PREVENTABLE RISK FACTORS FOR EPILEPTIC SEIZURES AMONG ASIANS

(© January, 2013: Dr. V.M.Palaniappan,Ph.D.)

Post-tsunami seizure attacks in Japan appear to have increased significantly. 

The New Straits Times, published in Malaysia has presented the news today (Tues., 22 Jan.,2013, p.32), as reported by Agencies, quoting the source journal Epilepsia.

It seems some 13 patients with seizures were admitted to the hospital during the first eight weeks after tsunami, compared to one during identical time span before the tragedy.

This clearly indicates that something that had happened due to tsunami had triggered the attacks.

What could that be?

Please read this write-up, and you may find the true cause for the increased attacks at the post-tsunami period.
*     *     *     *     *     *

The information I am presenting here, which I have gathered in the process of treating a few patients during the past three decades, should prove useful for further research, for the prevention of epileptic seizures, for rehabilitation programs, and possibly for a complete cure of the disease.

(It may be of interest to the Readers to know that I have been a Life Member (not as a patient) of the Epileptic Society of Malaysia, since its inception some fifteen years ago.)

The discipline I have been practicing is called “Ecological Healing System”, and that comes under the umbrella of the complementary medicine called "Naturopathy".

My area of research and practice have been further categorized and registered under what is being popularly called “Botanical Medicine”, by the Complementary Society of Malaysia.

*     *     *     *     *     *

I have personally done some minor research in the area of epileptic seizures in Malaysia and India, and have been offering some help to the sufferers, with reasonable success.

Let me describe what appear to be the most important risk factors that initiate or trigger such seizures.

*     *     *     *     *     *

Please follow the steps I am describing here, to find the logic in my interpretations:

If we catch our nose and close the mouth tightly, oxygen supply to the brain gets completely cut.

After a brief moment, the oxygen that is in various parts of the body gets totally exhausted.

We then feel dizzy, while at the same time, we shake our head violently, push off the person who is catching our nose and closing our mouth, and do our best to free ourselves so that we can breathe in some air (i.e., oxygen).

In other words, we put up a struggle to breath-in. Failure to do so would result in comma, followed by death.

If oxygen availability does not resume, we faint, enter into a comma stage, and then die.

In the case of an epileptic patient, no one catches the nose or closes the mouth.

However, an incident that can be compared to cessation of oxygen supply to the brain occurs.

The victim breathes-in AIR.  To that extent, it is fine.

Yet, the air, instead of having NORMAL quantity of OXYGEN in it, tends to have OTHER GASES (- if not, it may contain very little oxygen that may NOT be enough for a person to continue living).

When such a situation occurs, the person feels DIZZY initially. Then, faints.

If the same situation continues, the person may enter comma, and then die.

However, the brain, in the process of struggle for existence, puts up a struggle as a last resort.

What happens when we run, say, 100 meters?

We pant. We inhale abundant air to cope up with the emergency need for extra oxygen. In that process of body shivers, and our head may shake as well.

When a person faints, being in a unconscious state, he may not be able to voluntarily inhale well.

Under such circumstances, if the brain can make the body shiver violently - an act that simulates the 100 meter-run, then the body would start panting, and that would enhance rapid oxygen intake.

Once the oxygen supply and its need (i.e., the Biological Oxygen Demand - the BOD) get balanced up, the shivering - in other words, the SEIZURE, stops.

Here, we should consider the act of seizure - the epileptic attack, as HUMAN-FRIENDLY, rather than a disease.

This is very much similar to cough, cold, sneezes, skin itch, and the like.

When our the breathing holes - the alveoli, get blocked by either dust particles or water droplets, our brain induces sneezing, and that removes the blockage, and enhances easy air exchange for continued survival.

Cough does identical ‘service’ to humans.

When a mosquito stings us, it ejects into our cells some poison.

If we leave the poison droplet in a concentrated form at one spot, the white cells in our blood may not be able to fight it out. As a result, the tissues there die, and the whole spot turns dark or blackish, indicating the death of tissues there.

Under normal circumstances, when a mosquito (or any other bee, for instance) bites us, the skin gives us an alarm in the form of an itch.

The itch induces us to scratch the spot. In that process, the poison, instead of being in a concentrated form in one spot, gets dispersed and diluted. This enables the white cells to successfully combat and win. As a result, our tissues at the affected spot would continue living in a health state.

Thus, itches are human-friendly.

Likewise, seizures should be considered human-friendly - and not a disease, as pointed out above.

*     *     *     *     *     *

Now, the next question arises:

What displaces the oxygen content in the air that is inhaled by the victim?

To understand this, we have to trace the composition of the air in the immediate environment that prevails at the time of a seizure attack, or just before that moment.

*     *     *     *     *     *

I have traced some of the details.

I have seen many Dispatch Boys (whose job is to ride on motorbikes within the city and deliver letter, parcels, and the like to the addressees) getting this problem.

They often ride motorbikes during peak traffic periods. The often need to stop at every traffic light.

While awaiting for the green light, they have no choice except to inhale the ‘terribly’ polluted air.

Often, such air tends to contain abundant carbon monoxide and several other poisonous emissions.

Such ‘filthy’ air tends to contain much less oxygen, and a lot more of the poisonous gases.

This creates a heavy demand for oxygen (- the BOD) in the Dispatch Boy.

Prolonged inhalation of such a bad air can give the boy dizziness and headaches.

*     *     *     *     *     *

When one eats food, its digestion and utilization in the digestive tract and elsewhere in the body require oxygen.

Oxygen dissolved in the normal cool water provides some of such needs.

(If aquarium fish is allowed to live in such water, it would die soon for want of oxygen. Of course, if air-bubbles are created, the water gets back it oxygen, and the fish can continue living, using the dissolved oxygen.)

The above being the case, if the Dispatch Boy drinks BOILED water while taking his lunch, another BOD would arise in him. 

This can worsen the situation.

*     *     *     *     *     *

In the process of offering prayers, some people burn JOSS STICKS, CAMPHOR, and INCENSE.

From time immemorial, the incense is burnt in temples and homes with proper ventilation. 

They are burnt in small quantities that are not harmful to humans.

In fact, these fumes are believed to eradicate many disease-causing microorganisms, besides being a deodorant that drives away foul smell.

The incense (called ‘sambirani’ in Tamil) is an insecticide. The smoke is capable of killing all kinds of small insects, including head lice, mosquitoes, cockroaches, and the like.

I burn a little of this daily morning in a specially-designed mud container, keep it in front of the alter, pray for a short while, and then carry it in hand to all parts of the house. Finally, I keep it in the store room where I keep all my groceries.

As a result of the above practice, my house is totally devoid of lizards, cockroaches, spiders, mosquitoes, and the like.  My groceries too are clean all the time, devoid of the normal pests.

I have seen some strong and well-built people wanting to enter into a trance, often inhale this fume intensely.  The weaker ones, if they did so, may even faint.

The usage can become dangerous only when these are burnt in large quantities. They begin to emit plenty of fumes and fill the room - often displacing the oxygen content that was there.

Apart from this, burning of camphor, if the windows are closed, can deplete rapidly the little oxygen content present in the already stale air.

Among Indians, I have very often seen the following to happen:

People have been made to believe that there is no cure for epilepsy.

Therefore, the parents of these victims, wanting to seek the Divine help, let their suffering ‘children’ sleep in the prayer rooms where they have their deities. Then, they burn the joss sticks, camphor, and also incense.

Wanting to conserve the fumes, with the false believe that the fumes would do good to their children, they close the windows.  Some may do so with a view to keep away the mosquitoes, or even cold air.

If a person sleeps in that environment, without any doubt, his brain would end up severely poisoned.  Lack of oxygen to the brain makes it worse.

As a result of all the above, the body starts shivering. That is brain’s way of enhancing panting for increased oxygen uptake, as described earlier in this article.

Needless to say that this results in EPILEPTIC SEIZURE.

Such an attack would remain for a prolonged period until adequate oxygen gets back to the brain.

Every person getting a seizure would regain consciousness after a while - especially after the oxygen input becomes normalized.

Quick recovery would become possible if the widows are opened, crowd is dispersed, pollutants are kept aloof, and the clothes worn by victim are loosened.

 *     *     *     *     *     *

One thing appears to be clear: inhalation of poisonous air and depletion of oxygen appear to be the major risk factor for this disease.

People working in chemical stores can become victims.

People entering into under-ground sewerage ducts can get seizures, and can even die of such poisonous gases.

*     *     *     *     *     *

In the process of trying to cure epileptic patients, I have traced a few more risk factors that appear to play important roles in giving this disease.

When we eat chocolates, pastries, biscuits (any kind), peanuts, over-ripe papaya (or any other excessively ripe fruits), our faeces becomes soft, shapeless and slimy, and we may defecate twice or more number of times small quantities of the faecal matter, often feeling improper or inadequate ‘evacuation’. Such a state would be accompanied by frequent releases of foul-smelling flatulence.

(Any smell that makes us feel uneasy, or repulsive as it occurs in the case of flatulence, should be considered a poison to our body! 

In other words, all poisonous gasses smell repulsive / unbearable.)

(I have been calling the occurrence of slimy stools as “Chronic Constipation” in all my books. Whereas, the medical fraternity calls it diarrhea.)

When such a condition occurs, the wall all along the lower part of the intestine, especially the colo-rectal region, absorbs the toxic substances.

I have found in ALL the epileptic patients, without exception, the occurrence of Chronic Constipation.

The poisonous gasses that develop from the decomposing slimy faecal matter in this group of people get reabsorbed into the body, thus poisoning the brain!

This worsens the health status of the victim, and he develops severe seizure attack.

*     *     *     *     *     *

A few more practices that are invariably common among the seizure patients include the following:

They tend to cover their faces with blankets while asleep.

Keeping away mosquitoes or cold air, or even bright light could be the reason for such a practice. Unfortunately, during this process, fresh air too keeps off.

When they do this, they begin to breathe in repeatedly only the stale air that is rich in its carbon dioxide content.

Most of the victims keep their bedroom windows closed all the time, thus preventing ventilation to a significant extent.

As a result of these bad habits, the patient ends up with oxygen shortage. Needless to repeat that such a situation would inevitably give severe and frequent seizure attacks.

*     *     *     *     *     *

I should not miss stating another fact here that is closely linked to epileptic attacks.

We know very well that carbohydrates and fats digest relatively easily in our digestive system.  Whereas, proteins take much longer time to break down.

Some of the proteins (such as dhor dhal, some of the dried bean seeds, etc.) which can be termed as “bad proteins” tend to release plenty of gasses even before they can get digested.

These gasses too appear to be disturbing the body physiology of the epileptic patients.

A point, worthy of noting is, that most of the epileptic patients seem to be consuming far too much of such high and bad protein diets.

*     *     *     *     *     *

Some of the epileptic patients, I have traced, were even inhaling the volatile gasses that evolve while pumping petrol to vehicles. They seem to like it.

It should be worthwhile remembering that even the smell that comes out of eraser white markers can trigger an attack if the person happens to be prone to seizures.

*     *     *     *     *     *

Talking of the epileptics and seizures, it may be of interest to know that nearly ALL humans have traces of epilepsy in them.

Let me make you recognize the ‘fault’ in you:

Try to recollect this:

Some time back, could be a few months ago, or even a few years ago, either frequently, or very occasionally, have you not JERKED suddenly while you were fast asleep?

Such a jerk could have lasted only for a second or two.

After such a jerk, you could continued sleeping, forgetting altogether the next morning that you had such an ‘attack’ the previous night.

You cannot deny this. You must have experienced the jerk, except that you never recollected its occurrence until this moment.

Would you accept it?

Well, that is seizure!  A ‘mini’ attack!

What could have give you that?

It occurs due to the accumulation of poisonous gasses in your brain! It is almost identical to epileptic attacks. The jerks tend to indicate the release of such poisonous gasses.

While conducting Group Therapy sessions, I make everybody release their poison accumulations so that the efficiency of their brain becomes excellent.

In that process, they would realize the release of such gasses, and they would never again get such nocturnal jerks. They would never ever develop any epileptic seizures.

Here, the RATIO between Carbon dioxide and Oxygen becomes NARROW, and that gives them some likeable momentary dizziness - as if they are drunk!

*     *     *     *     *     *

Well friends, if you sum up all the above, you will end up developing a program for the total prevention or even a curative procedure for epileptic seizures.  You can cure them without the use of drugs!

I have given a short, but vivid description of these details in my book “HUMAN DISEASES”, wherein I have re-defined 101 common diseases people suffer from, with reasons, curative procedures, etc.

If you happen to be in Malaysia, you can order for a printed copy of the book. If not, you may want to kindly wait until my e-book is posted in our BLOG / WEBSITE.
