THE MUCH PROMOTED LIFE STYLE PRACTICE IS BOUND TO INCREASE THE PREVALENCE OF TYPE-2 DIABETES WORLDWIDE.

© 20 November, 2012: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan

All I am going to give here are totally NEW information, based on my 37 years of research!

This information has never been told by any body, in any language, in any country, and at any time, 

Any teenager (or an adult of any age) would spell it in detail the so-called 'correct lifestyle' (which in reality is erroneous)  one should lead if he/she wishes to escape from getting Type-2 Diabetes, and/or obesity, for that matter.

The following is claimed to be the 'correct' lifestyle that is being promoted worldwide:

1. Do not take sugar: either reduce it, or stop taking it altogether.

2. Do not eat too much of carbohydrates (e.g., rice). Instead, eat more of proteins (e.g., wheat products).

3. Do exercises and sweat out. The more you sweat, better it would be.

4. If any one of your parents had Diabetes, you tend to get it, for it is Genetic! 

(So, if you are not born yet, and if you can hear what is being said, try, if you can, not to be born as a child of diabetic parents.)

(At this, I would like to 'warn' a pregnant woman, if she happens to be a Diabetic patient, or even if her parents had diabetes:  

Do not discuss verbally about this even with your doctor. If your unborn child in your womb happens to hear that conversation, he/she may not want to be born alive.... watch out!  

However, if a need arises, instead of talking to your doctor, you can communicate through writing in a piece of paper - your 'embryonic' child will not be able to read it!

Thank God for that! You have an alternative way!) 
************
Let me come to the point:

I am emphatically saying that, if the first three so-called health-care tips are followed, MORE and MORE people would end up getting Type-2 Diabetes, for sure!

No need to say that such people would then lose their eye-sight, men would suffer from erectile dysfunction, some may develop gangrene and may get amputated, and many may die miserably!

How dare I say that!

Let me elaborate my point here, of course, without any prejudice: 

Please read it with OPEN mind, without having any pre-fixed opinion:
**********
Let us evaluate them, one by one:

Suggestion-1: Do NOT take sugar.

If a diabetic patient takes sugar, instantly his blood sugar level increases.

Therefore, they believe it is only logical to conclude that if sugar is NOT taken, the level would drop.

The above conclusion sounds logical.

However, the truth appears to be altogether DIFFERENT!

Situation-1:
Let us assume that you are a healthy person.
you take 'normal' amount of sugar (or carbohydrates).
To digest it, 'normal; amount of insulin secretes. 

Situation-2:
You take more sugar.
More insulin secretes to digest the increased sugar intake.

Situation-3:
You take plenty of sugar.
Plenty of insulin secretes, to digest that plenty.

Situation-4:
You take FAR TOO MUCH, EXCESSIVE SUGAR - A LOT MORE THAN YOUR BODY CAN TOLERATE.

By right, far too much insulin should secrete, digest the whole lot of sugar, which will then SPOIL the body physiology, giving rise to disastrous results, including death!

YOUR brain does not want you to die because of that.
It wants to save you from death.

So, it gives you a SENSE of DISGUST - a momentary feeling of HATREDNESS for sugar.

You ignore it!

You continue taking MORE and MORE sugar, by brushing aside your brain's attempts to save you.

At this, your brain has no other choice, except to STOP secreting INSULIN. 

Your brain achieves this by KILLING the T-Cells in your Pancreas that are responsible for secreting the insulin.

When this happens, you become a TYPE-ONE Diabetic patient. (They label you as Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus Type-I case. Those days, only the children took enormous amounts of sugar, and therefore they developed this kind of diabetes, hence the name Juvenile Diabetes!)

When this happens, sugar will not get digested, and you will not die, either.

Then, your brain tries to REMOVE THAT undigested sugar EXCESSES through urination.
*************** 
Now, let us see another situation:

To start with, you have been taking NORMAL amount of sugar (and carbohydrates). Accordingly, normal amount of insulin secretes. You are healthy and happy.

You begin to REDUCE the sugar intake - following the advise of your Consultants.

The quantity of insulin too gets REDUCED accordingly.

You cut down sugar intake DRASTICALLY - almost no sugar at all.

Your pancreas too cuts down the insulin secretion to a minimum.

You continue this kind of living for more than 40 days or so, and your BODY accepts THIS as its NORM.

So, on day-to-day basis, your pancreas will be secreting only VERY LITTLE insulin (to take care of the little carbohydrates that enter your body inadvertently).

While the new NORM is maintained by the body, if you happen to take MORE sugar one day, there will NOT be enough insulin to digest your EXTRA sugar intake.

At this, you have NOW BECOME a Type-2 Diabetic patient!

Your brain, as usual, tries to save you by trying to throw off this extra sugar through URINATION.

You Consultant, on checking your blood (or urine), and finding more undigested sugar in it, CONFIRMS that you have developed Type-2 Diabetes.

So, he gives you medications - insulin tablets to cope up with the 'extra' sugar that has gone into your intestinal tract!

When you continue to gulp tablets that takes care of the extra sugar, WHY SHOULD YOUR PANCREAS produce more insulin?  No need!

That makes your dependency on mediation more permanent.

It is almost impossible to manage perfectly your sugar/carbohydrate intake in relation to medications.

That deteriorates your health further. Then, you are told to take Insulin Injections.... due to 'drug resistance'...

As time passes by, you will begin to lose eye-sight, develop tissue rotting - gangrene, erectile dysfunction, etc.
*********
So, what is the moral of the above 'story'?

Do NOT avoid sugar and carbohydrate consumptions!
You must take them!!

Only thing is: Do NOT go over-board! Stop taking sugar the moment you feel like not eating any more at THAT occasion! 

Stop the moment your brain gives you a 'sense of satisfaction!"

Stop, the moment you start feeling 'Enough!' or 'Disgusted', or get 'fed up"
***********
Then comes the next ERRONEOUS advise:

"Sweat out...sweat out ... do exercises, and sweat out, if you want to protect yourself from getting diabetes.."

I see a lot health-conscious people who would want to avoid getting diabetes for sure, going for jogging in the morning hours*, nearly in all the countries I had visited.

(*  Early morning joggers tend to inhale the moist air that carries in it all the particle pollutants that were released into the atmosphere the previous day, and have descended this morning, thus may get pulmonary (lung) problems!)

'Poor victims!"  These people get Type-2 diabetes FOR SURE!

How does it happen? Let me explain to you here:
***********
You should understand that it is NOT sugar that GIVES type-2 diabetes, in the first place!

(If you are already diabetic, it is sugar that increases the blood sugar content - BUT, sugar does NOT make you diabetic!)

Do you know what gives the sugar to SUGARCANE?

The Farmer does NOT put in sugar crystals as fertilizer at the roots of these plants!

Why is it some sugarcane plants taste very sweet, while some others, 'bland'?

I don't think any of you can answer this question! This is so because, even the best Agriculturist does not give a thought to this phenomenon! It is taken for granted!

At best, they may say, sugar canes raised in 'fertile soil' would give more sugar, and those in 'infertile, poor soil' would not have enough sugar in it'.

Let me enlighten you here:

It is CALCIUM that becomes sugar in the plant!
It is CALCIUM that makes any SOUR fruit, sweet!

If a sugarcane plant contains LESS sugar, if you add CALCIUM, otherwise called "AGRICULTURE LIME" to the soil, then, the plant turns VERY SWEET!

If a mango tree produces SOUR mango, it would mean that the soil where it grows is ACIDIC, and is DEVOID of enough CALCIUM.

If you add calcium / lime to the soil and irrigate, then, the mango tree would start producing SWEET mangoes.

For that matter, if you have purchased sour mangoes from the market, you can turn them sweet, simply by rubbing calcium (lime that is rubbed over betel leaves before chewing) over the stalk - after making a small scratch there. 

You can wrap that mango within a newspaper, and leave it for two or three days to ripen and taste sweet!
**************
Under normal circumstances, by eating your 'normal' food, you will end up taking plenty of calcium.

If that is just enough for your body, all will go well.

If Calcium that has gone into your body happens to be in EXCESS - more than your body wants, then, your brain tries to throw THAT excess through urinations.

I have found that you need to urinate at least EIGHT times daily - at regular intervals, about TWO LITRES or 8 glasses of it, so that all the Calcium EXCESSES along with all other unwanted toxic substances would get out of the body.

To urinate 2 L, through 8 or 9 urinations, you have to drink 8 or 9 glasses of water (NOT juices, soups, beverages, etc.), and urinate nearly all of it.

If you lose your BODY WATER in the form of SWEAT, the urine quantity will get LESSENED.

Reduced urine will remove only a part of the calcium excesses, and not all.

UNDER-URINATION would enhance accumulation of the Calcium EXCESSES within the body.

(There are several reasons that bring about under-urination. I have discussed such details in my Diabetes: Causes, Cure and Prevention

This book contains step-by-step self-help procedure for CURING Type-2 Diabetes.

I follow these methods while curing the diabetic patients.

In fact, this is what I have been doing right now in the South Indian city of Coimbatore, in this season!).

Along with time, day after day, such accumulated quantities would increase to significant levels - beyond body's tolerant limit.

Such calcium retentions would turn SWEET - and will make you a Type-2 Diabetic patient!

Such calcium accumulate within the CELLS that make up various ORGANS, making each cell, each tissue, and each organ BIG-SIZED!

When all organs accumulate too much of calcium, all organs become HEAVIER and BIGGER.


This results in making the person TOO BIG-SIZED, WITH TOO MUCH OF WEIGHT!

To know more on this, and to know how this situation can give rise to HEART BLOCKAGES, KIDNEY STONES, LUMPS, CYSTS, FIBROIDS, and CANCERS, you may want to read ALL MY BOOKS, including:

Cancer: Causes, Cure and Prevention.
Diabetes: Causes, Cure and Prevention.
Obesity: Causes, Cure and Prevention.
Heart Problems, Diabetes, and Related Diseases, and
The True Causes of All Diseases.
***********
Dear friends,

UNTIL, AND UNLESS PEOPLE ARE GOING TO CHANGE THEIR LIFESTYLE FOR THE BETTER, AS IS DESCRIBED HERE, THE NUMBER OF DIABETIC PEOPLE WORLDWIDE IS BOUND TO INCREASE ENORMOUSLY!

If some powerful authority in W.H.O. or any such organisation can read this, and implement this, after a small repeated research if doubtful, then, the number will dwindle, and  there will come a stage where no body will be diabetic!

It will be only proper for those powerful people to extend me some recognition. Then, others may think of recognising me in the right perspective while I am still alive!  

God, please help!

Friends, 

I want you to live long, healthily, and with pleasant frame of mind!

Please change your attitude for good.

I wish you the best in life.

I will be leaving for India soon, as said earlier, to treat a big group of diabetic patients there... and I intend to come back to Malaysia by the first week of January, 2013.

In the meantime, you can, of course, communicate with me through my e-mail ID: vmpalaniappan@gmail.com.

You may keep visiting my new WEBSITE: ehealingsystem.com, remembering the fact that it is still under construction... and will be ready for taking off soon!

Until we communicate next, 
Best wishes, and Bye, 
Dr. Palani.

AIR CHILLED BY INTENSE AIR-CONDITIONING CAN BE LIFE-THREATENING

AIR CHILLED BY INTENSE AIR-CONDITIONING CAN BE LIFE-THREATENING

(© December, 2012: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan)

Have you heard the term 'Hypothermia'?

In hospitals, they reduce the body temperature of a person undergoing certain surgeries below normal - usually between 26oC and 32.5oC = 78oF and 90oF.  

Lessening it to a much lesser level than the above temperature can be fatal to the person! 

His/her body physiology can collapse, and death can become inevitable!

The main purpose of artificially reducing the body temperature in hospitals appears to be to reduce the oxygen need of the body so that surgeries can be performed at ease (Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 1985).

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

I toured around Northern India some five years ago. 

To Hindus, one of the most sacred activities is to bathe in the  River Ganges.

A team of us, wanting to gain entry into the Heavens after our earthly-living, reached the banks of River Ganges in the upper regions, closer to the Himalayas.

It was about 7 in the morning. A large number of like-minded people had gathered for the sacred dip there - that is the day-to-day occurrence there.

The water was chill - unimaginably chill! 'Biting' cold!!!

The climate in Malaysia is very pleasant - it is so throughout the year! 

That is one of the much desired reasons for people to choose Malaysia as their 'Second Home'.

Most people in Malaysia take their showers using the very clean tap water, gushing all the time, without altering its 'nice' room temperature.

In spite of it, I have been taking warmer showers (heated by electrically-operated heaters) all the time. 

The above being the norm for me, I decided to take a few dips in the ice-cold, freezing Ganges river.

So, I, like all the others, already shivering of the cold air, 'walked' a few steps in, held my nose with my right hand, and dipped a few times!

That was enough for me! I gave up the idea of rubbing my body to clean it up, jumped out of the gushing river water, grasped my towel I had left on the banks, dried the body, and wore my Winter clothes. 

I think, it took only a few seconds to do all the above!

However, the shivering did not stop. Some one in our team was kind enough to distribute hot coffee. Taking it was not adequate to warm up the body. 

A while later, we had some breakfast, and then all of us returned to our Hotel.

Can you imagine what had had happened next? 
At least, on the next day?

My body developed HYPOTHERMIA! 

At this, the best treatment could have been to use an Infra-Red Light over each part of my body.

That would warm up, and save me from all the miseries that had happened subsequently.

However, unfortunately, all my attempts to obtain (through my fellow-travellers) an Infra-Red Light  in the electrical shops in the city there had failed. 

I had no other choice. It appeared my body was preparing to release my soul so as to let go to the Heavens!

That could happen because, I felt, since I had not committed much sins while living all these years, probably my visit to the Heavens was getting 'speeded' up.

However, the next day, I took a flight (to Coimbatore city in the southern parts of India), getting in and out of the plane in a wheel chair. 

I was then admitted in a hospital there! 

They did countless number of diagnostic tests, and the doctors appeared to be more interested in raising my medical bill rather than correcting my body temperature.

A few days had passed by. Since all their diagnostic tools and techniques showed no sign of any disease, the doctors decided to put me through a SCANNER!

I refused, and I insisted that they should discharge me.

My friend Mr. Chandrasekar Chakravarthi (who collected the cancer-struck shells for me later - that decorated the cover page of  my  book "Cancer: Causes, Cure and Prevention" (published in 2010), who was taking care of me all that while, settled the hefty bill, got me out of the hospital, again in a wheel chair, transported me to the Airport, and saw me going to Kuala Lumpur.

On reaching my son's residence, I decided to treat myself with the Infra-Red Light, exposing each part of my body several times daily, for a 10-minute duration at each occasion.

I became 'NORMAL' within next three days!

However, I had lost a lot of weight while in Coimbatore, and that took a few more weeks for me regain it!!

In the meantime, another fellow-traveller, a Surgeon by profession, too developed such Hypothermia, was admitted to a hospital in Chennai, spent two months in the ward, underwent CT Scan and the like, and returned to Malaysia long later. 

He had a lot of stories to tell me! He said, I was luckier, compared to him!

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

OK, friends, do you know why I narrated the above real-life incidence?

That has a purpose.

I want to ask ALL of you - including the medical professionals and all other scientists involved in health-advocation, the following question:

If our body can develop and suffer of Hypothermia because of extreme EXTERNAL chillness, what do you think would happen if our INTERNAL BODY ORGANS ARE CHILLED BY IDENTICAL FREEZING TEMPERATURES?

To be more precise, WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF A PERSON INHALED THE VERY COLD AIR THAT BLOWS IN THE POLAR REGION?*

(* I was in California USA, in 1981. I was a Visiting Professor  in San Diego State University.

Some 18 of us that included a Professor of Ecology, a Technician and 16 graduate students, went on a 'study tour',  rapid shooting through the Colorado River.

That was an enjoyable trip, canoeing our way up, for three days and two nights!

By day, we used to row, and by night, we cooked our food on the banks, and slept there within SLEEPING BAGS. 

It was very cold outside, yet, we slept well within the bags.

Naturally, in order to facilitate oxygen intake, I left a small space (hole-like) in the bag unzipped. 

Although I was quite comfortable inside the bag, I had to breath in only the COLD air through both the nights!

That must have affected my health. However, I did not realise any of the 'damages' that had occurred to my body at that time.

It was NOT a Winter then. If it was, I guess now, I would have died at that time, and my soul would have gone to Hell - for, I had not gathered the 'sacredness' by bathing in the Ganges by then! Eh!!)

Have you noticed the following day-to-day happenings in countries that experience 'ice-formations' in WINTER?

People there wear Winter clothing. Then, they go around doing their works in the freezing environment - simulating working within a cold refrigerator.

When they do so, no one appears to realise the fact that their lungs are in the process of getting 'preserved' in the intensely cold air they have been breathing in.

The above happens in addition to dehydration (i.e., loss of water)

The body's warmth, released by the burning (combustion) of the food, may not be able to protect the internal organs, lungs in particular, for a prolonged period. 

This can give rise to hypothermia or pneumonia, and can result in the death of the person!

***********
People working for 8 hours or more in an office, especially in rooms that have large number of IT-related ectronic equipment, where they set their air-conditioners at VERY LOW temperature*, tend to suffer in many ways.

(* For no reason, many Hotels in various countries set their central air-conditioning at very, very low temperatures. Many a time, the guest will have no control over the provision. 

I had suffered numerous times, being unable to reduce or even stop the cold air that comes out of the air-conditioners in such hotels.

If you complain, they would offer extra blankets to cover your body, rather than helping to protect your lungs!

People are crazy!)

The following are few such dangers:

In the first place, the lungs would get dried up, thus losing the body water (dehydration, mentioned above).

This would then reduce the quantity of urine that should by right go out of the body carrying in it all the toxic substances and unwanted excesses (including Calcium).

Reduced urination would leave most of the above within the body, thus making the body accumulate them and become OVERWEIGHT initially, and then OBESE subsequently.

This would then turn into MORBID OBESITY (i.e., disease-related overweight).

As a result of the above, if that continues for longer periods, the body that turns giant-sized (with a ROUND, moon-shaped FACE) would have hypothyroidism, sterility (i.e, inability to reproduce children), heart-blockages and blood vessel thickenings, kidney stones, lumps, cysts, fibroid, prostate enlargement, and cancers.

You can CERTAINLY notice the following phenomena:

Observe the IT offices, where the temperatures are set at 16 or 18oC.

THIN or even SKELETAL persons joining the office, would, in a few years' time, gradually change to become overweight and obese. This happens beyond any doubt!

Only the obesity development will be observable. The diseases related to it will not be directly recognizable.  Often, these workers put the blame on some other factor as the reason. 

People tend to put the blame on the so-called 'poor food' the were consuming*. 

(* When they tell their office-mates of this, they would quickly recommend multivitamin tablets that are sold by them from some direct marketing MLM copanies! The placebo effect may help them a bit for a short while, before damaging their body physiology).

They blame themselves for their health problems - not realising the fact that it is their continued exposure to chillness that had resulted thus.   

Anyway, friends, let me WARN you!

My study, over the period of 37 years, reveals that working in cold environments that are excessively chilled by air-conditioners can be FATAL!

************
Recently, Government of Malaysia ruled that all the Government offices should REDUCE the air-conditioning from being very chill to a 'comfortable 25 degrees Celsius'.

On the part of the Government, this could have been a measure of thriftiness for saving unnecessary expenditure. 

However, it gave me great pleasure to note that the Staff in all the Malaysian Government departments may NOT develop morbid obesity, and they may not suffer in future as their colleagues did in the past!

Will all other countries using air-conditioners follow the footsteps of Malaysia and save their people? 

I wish, they do!

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

Friends, 

I have one more very important point to make here:

I am sure, you must have been wondering if I have abandoned our Blog.

No! I have not! 

I very much wish to keep in touch with you as long as possible. 

My long absence was due to the following reason:

You must be aware of my recent TWO publications:

1. Diabetes: Causes, Cure and Prevention, and 

2. Menses, Menopause, and Osteoporosis.

The second book came out of the printers just two months ago! (It has become very popular within such a short while!)

What had happened was:

"Wavetell Mobile Mall" in Coimbatore city, India, sponsored me to give their customers a seminar on Diabetes.

I went there in July, 2012, gave them a power-point presentation, and came back to Malaysia.

They, then became much interested, and some 36 people jointly requested me to go to their city again and give them treatment for a possible cure of their diabetes.

I accepted, went there on 24 August 2012, and gave them the required treatment through a Group Therapy Programme that ran for slightly more than a month's period. 

As a result, many of them were cured of all their illnesses. 

Now, they have been insisting that I give them identical treatment to their kith, kin, and friends.

As a result, I am in the process of going to Coimbatore again next week!

This will mean that I will be away there for next one-and-a-half month, this time!

So, friends, I may not be able to put up another article until I come back to Malaysia, which may be by the middle of January, 2013.

However, if I can find time, and if there is adequate power supply* in Coimbatore, I will certainly try to publish one or two more articles during the interim period.

Therefore, may I humbly request you to bear my absence for next one or two months.

(* In Tamil Nadu, South India, their electricity supply appears much restricted. They conduct 'power-cut' for about 15 hours daily! Therefore, it becomes much harder to work with computers).

In the meantime, if you are interested, you can do one or more of the following three:

(1) Visit our NEW website "ehealingsystem.com" and see the site being under construction, and please do NOT order any books using the 'cart' and the like. This is so because, the site is still under construction, the price details are inaccurate, and nothing is confirmed.


(2) You can send e-mails to me through:   vmpalani@streamyx.com; or vmpalaniappan@gmail.com


(3) If you happen to be in Malaysia, you may want to visit any bookshop in the country, ask for my book "Menses, Menopause, and Osteoporosis" (RM15.00), and/or "Diabetes: Causes, Cure, and Prevention" (RM29.90), browse through, and buy if you find them useful.

I will try to respond if I receive any mail from you.

OK, friends, 
Until we communicate next, 
With love and affection,
Dr. Palani, Ph.D.

THIN PEOPLE VISITING INDIA SHOULD TAKE WITH THEM UNIODISED SALT.

(© Dr.V.M.Palaniappan)

Iodised salt, when consumed even in optimum* quantities, can give rise to HYPOTHYROIDISM in THIN-built people.

(* Optimum quantity would contribute excessive iodine, because of the enrichment. I will be discussing the details below.)

Let me prove it to you with adequate evidences: 

Please read this article in full, so that the phenomenon can be correctly understood.

*********
Please read these, if you need the basic information about the importance of iodine, otherwise, you can skip reading this:

To start with, all of us know very well that iodine is definitely required by the body for the well-being and functioning of our thyroid gland.

According to Stephanie L Lee (e.medicine medscape, Jan 27, 2012: http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/122714-overview).

Severe iodine deficiency disturbs the production of thyroid hormone.
  • It can enlarge the thyroid gland (it is called Goitre).
  • It can give rise to hypothyroidism (i.e., decrease the production of thyroxine)
  • It can give rise to cretinism (i.e., stunted physical and mental growth, brought from the hypothyroid condition of the mother)
  • It can decrease the fertility rate
  • It can increase the death of infants
  • It can bring about mental retardation
*********
You need to read this, if you need to know the sources of iodine. If not, you can skip to the next part of this article:
According to David Grotto’s Nutrition House Call (http://davidgrotto.wordpress.com/2011/03/16/natural-food-sources-of-iodine/, posted on March 16, 2011),  the following consumables (+ several others) contain iodine, in the order of importance:

Seaweed, Cod, Yoghurt, Milk, Fish sticks, Enriched white bread, Fruit cocktail, in heavy syrup, Shrimp, Ice cream, Macaroni, enriched, Egg, Tuna, Corn, canned, Prunes, Cheese, Raisins, Lima beans, Apple juice, Green peas, Banana, etc.
*************
With the above background information, let me explain the scientific truth:

The following observations are (statiscally) true, and I have reported these in my books (Palaniappan, 1998-2011):

Irrespective of their ethnic origin, gender, geographic location, etc., the following appear to be true:

All THIN and SKELETAL-looking people tend to take MORE salt. They like salty food.

All OBESE and OVERWEIGHT people seem to be taking MUCH LESS or LOW salt.

The reason for the above occurrences are:

The THIN and Skeletal people (with the exception of PSEUDO-SLIM people) definitely drink plenty of water (e.g., more than 2 L, may be 3-5 L / day), and urinate several times (e.g., more than 8 times, may be 10, or even 14 times a day).

As a result of these abundant water intake and liberal urination, most of the salt in their body gets out through urination - thus SALT GETS DEPLETED.

This creates a want (for salt) in their body. This gets translated as a CRAVING for salty food.

When it comes to the overweight and obese people, some people drink plenty of water, and some drink extremely little.

Nevertheless, BOTH groups of people DEFINITELY under-urinate: example: just 3 times daily - may be 4 times.

Such under-urination results in the expulsion of very little salt - thus MOST of the salt they had consumed stays inside their body - thus, the salt accumulates to become plentiful inside the body.

If and when their body retains plenty of salt, naturally, they develop a repulsive feeling for salt. 

In other words, they ‘hate’ salt, and therefore, they always prefer to take much less salt.  (That is why, they claim even normal salt in food as too much).

THE IODINE THAT HAS GONE INTO THE BODY THROUGH FOOD AND DRINKS, IN BOTH TYPES OF PEOPLE DOES NOT GET LEACHED OUT, BUT STAYS INSIDE THE BODY*.

(* It is strongly believed that excess iodine tends to go out in the urine. However, most of the iodine that gets absorbed by the thyroid gland may not go out, especially because, it is not in a free state floating in the blood. 

When it comes to the obese people, they UNDER-URINATE, and therefore, the chances of iodine, or for that matter even the salt, going out in the urine is extremely small, as has already been told above. I said earlier, this is the reason why the obese people hate salt, and end up taking less salt.)

As a result of this, reduced  SALT intake by the obese, results in REDUCED iodine intake.

When iodine is NOT enough, these obese people develop throat swellings, followed by HYPOTHYROIDISM.

If they develop hypothyroidism, naturally ALL the deficiency SYMPTOMS described above, would occur.

To repeat:

In the obese people, reduced salt intake results in iodine deficiency, and that can give rise to: 

  • goitre, 
  • decreased thyroxin hormone production, 
  • physical and mental retardation, 
  • decrease the fertility, 
  • cause infant death (if it happens to be infants), and also 
  • mental retardation.
As opposed to this, since the THIN people consume plenty of the normal salt, ADEQUATE quantity of iodine (without going for selected iodine-rich diet) will enter into their body, and they will be healthy, without any of the above deficiency symptoms suffered by the obese.

***********
Based on the above reality, what do you think should be done?

Any government, interested in the health of the people, should do the following, if necessary, through imposition by LAW:

ALL obese people will NOT like to take more salt. Therefore, they will definitely suffer deficiency for iodine!

No one can force them to take more salt.

However, the Government or Health Ministries or Doctors can recommend to all obese people to take IODINE-ENRICHED salt.

That will mean, when the obese take little salt that contains MORE IODINE, they will NOT suffer the deficiency diseases.

At the same time, the health-care administrators should recommend the THIN people NOT to take IODINE-ENRICHED salt, but to take only the NORMAL, UNENRICHED SALT.

When the THIN people take more salt that contains normal iodine, this group of people too will NOT develop any iodine-deficiency diseases.

**********

The above being the truth, what will happen if the THIN people are also told (or forced, for want of choice) to take the IODINE-ENRICHED salt?

There is no way these thin people would reduce their total salt intake. They are bound to take more salt.

If they consume more of the iodine-enriched salt, for sure, the quantity of iodine that enters into their body is going to be TOO MUCH!

This will then mean, that the THIN people are going to suffer of IODINE TOXICITY!

******
How does this toxicity due to iodine excess affect the THIN people?

It happens EXACTLY like any other AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE, such as Insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus Type-1.

When far too much of sugar enters into the body - to a level that cannot be managed by the body - beyond the tolerance limit, then, the brain withdraws suddenly and drastically, the production of insulin altogether, resulting in  insulin-dependency from external sources (that is, type-I).

*************
When the THIN people end up with too much of iodine because of taking too much of iodine, unwittingly because of taking the iodine-enriched salt, their body, being unable to cope up with the excessive iodine, suddenly develops hypothyroidism, resulting in the total stoppage of THYROXIN hormone production, giving rise to Hypothyroidism.

The hypothyroidism that develops in the obese, because of iodine deficiency, SHOWS CERTAIN SYMPTOMS, which include swellings of face, legs, dullness, sleepiness, laziness, memory failure, etc.

Whereas, the Hypothyroidism that develops in the THIN because of the AUTO-IMMUNE DISEASE due to EXCESSIVE iodine may not show most of the above symptoms. 

Thus, it will occur as an ASYMPTOMATIC HYPOTHYROIDISM. 

This will be then categorized under, what is called, HASIHMOTO’S HYPOTHYROIDITIS.

**********
After having read the above, what should be done to protect the THIN as well as the OBESE?

The right approach should be, as said earlier:

The OBESE MUST BE ABLE TO BUY IODINE-ENRICHED SALT in the open market. 

The THIN people should be ABLE TO BUY UNENRICHED SALT in the open market.

Then, the Health Ministries, and the Doctors should advise the people to consume accordingly.

*********
In Malaysia, you can go to any shop selling domestic consumables, and you can freely CHOOSE to buy ANY kind of SALT!

Some people buy Iodine-enriched, and some others buy natural salt - that which is not artificially enriched.

Of course, they pick the salt, without any knowledge I have described above - which is COMPLETELY BASED ON MY OWN RESEARCH and EXPERIMENTAION!

(You can never find this information in any other language, by anybody else, in any other country, and at any time until this day.)

Most of the highly educated people tend to buy iodine-enriched salt, with the assumption that that is good for them - not knowing that, if they happen to be THIN, it is going to adversely affect them.

Anyway, the choice of buying is there, for both types of salt  are available in the market. 

The Malaysian government allows that, which is appreciable!
(I am not aware which are the countries that restrict the sale of natural salt, and which are the ones that force their people to take iodised salt, pressurising them by enforcing Law)

***********
The above being the truth, DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAD HAPPENED IN INDIA?

I understand that the Government of India has TOTALLY BANNED THE SALE OF NATURAL SALT IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY!

Every gram of salt that comes out of the SALT MANUFACTURERS MUST BE IODIZED! That seems to be the LAW in the country.

That means, uniodised salt, however much you try to purchase, will not be available at all!

This means, ALL the OBESE people will NOT suffer from any iodine-deficiency diseases, and they will not develop Hypothyroidism. That forms a good news.

Unfortunately, ALL THIN PEOPLE ARE ALMOST DEFINITELY GOING TO DEVELOP ASYMPTOMATIC HYPOTHYROIDITIS! That will be too bad!

 You don't need to have any doubt in what I am saying, for my findings are based on serious scientific research!

If someone cares, he/she could gather the recent statistics in any part of India, they will come up with exactly what I had said above:

Numerous THIN people must have become victims of hypothyroidism, for UNKNOWN (to them) reasons, after the introduction of this Law.

********
I went to India to do a research study in certain aspects of Ecological Healing System. 

I did not want to take iodized salt.

I hunted in all places, in all possible outlets.

Since I could not find any uniodised natural salt, I approached Chemists and Pharmacists to buy for me some natural salt.

One of my patients, a Big Chemical Dealer in Coimbatore city, after scavenging, told me that he tried his best to get natural salt for me, and failed in all his attempts.

One day, one seller,  sitting on his bull-driven cart that was filled with unrefined, coarse salt, passed along the place where I was staying.

On enquiry, I found out that he was bringing the salt from the Salt Mine, and that was truly original!

I was excited, and I bought 20 kgs. of the salt for my use until my return trip to Malaysia, and stored it in a nice plastic container.

Do you know what happened to that salt?

I gave it for testing, since it tasted iodised.

I was shocked to find that that salt too was iodised.

On enquiry, I found out that the Government was very strict, and they made sure that every gram of salt that goes out of the salt field is definitely iodised!

In the end, until I returned to Malaysia, I had no choice except to (a) using much less salt for cooking, and (b) just condition my mind not to worry about it.

Dear Friends,

Last month I was invited to India - to Coimbatore city, sponsored by Wavetell Mobile Mall, to give a basic training course to a group of 220 people for the prevention of type-2 diabetes. I returned to Malaysia on the 14th day.

Yet, I took 500 grams of uniodised salt packet from Malaysia, for my personal use.

When I returned, my friend was very happy when I gave him the unused balance.

He told me that he has been hunting for uniodised natural salt in several cities in the South, he said, he couldn’t find it at all!

Arising out of my previous one-day seminar, recently, some 40 people have gathered together, and have requested me to go there again, and give them one-month complementary therapy for a possible cure of type-2 diabetes.

I have accepted their invitation, and I will be going over there soon.

One of the things that has been disturbing my mind is, should I take uniodised salt with me this time too? If so, how much should I take?  Will the Customs prevent me from taking even one kg of the salt - after all it is going to be for my personal use!

Well, if any one of you happen to be an official who can advise me on this, I would greatly appreciate it.

In the meantime, I would urge ALL foreigners wanting to spend more time in India, please give some thought to this serious problem.

(If you are going to consume food in restaurants, you have no choice except to consuming only iodised salt!)

Anyway, (a) if your stay in India is going to be short, you don’t have to worry about taking iodised salt with you, and (b) if you are an obese person, you can be happy about it, for you will not be in trouble.


If are a THIN person, and if you are going to stay in India for a longer period, I would suggest, you better take a large quantity of uniodised salt with you.

Before doing so, I think, it would be only proper that you write to the Government of India, and get a written permission to ‘import’ natural salt into India, lest you may end up with legal problems.

END-NOTE: I AM A THIN PERSON!

OK, friends,

Before going to India, I will try to post another good and useful article in our Blog.

Do you know why I did not post any article for the past two weeks?

Well, I will let you that ‘interesting’ reason in the next posting.

With best wishes,
Dr.Palani.
