The American Cancer Society and the British Columbia Cancer Agency state that electronically modified oxygen derivatives, such as hydrogen peroxide and other "oxidative therapies," are basically ineffective, harmful or even lethal in the treatment of cancer.

Prooxidants, some of which are oxygen free radicals or reactive oxygen species, have been blamed for cancer causation and unscrupulous marketers have brought discredit to oxygen based therapies and disregard to oxidative centered treatments.

Bhasmas, herbal preparations of ayurvedic origin, contain heavy metals in traces. Very little/ no published information is available on the preclinical toxicity or mutagenicity of these Bhasmas. Considering the recent controversy over the risk of toxic heavy metals in ayurvedic herbo-mineral preparations, we studied the genotoxic potential of few such preparations. Most popular Bhasmas were investigated Ras Manikya Ras, Lauha Bhasma, Tamra Bhasma and Kajjali Bhasma. A single dose (200mg/kg b.w) was administered orally to Wistar rats. Peripheral blood leukocytes and bone marrow samples were collected. Micronucleus assay and the comet assay were employed to study the endpoint of chromosomal damage and single / doublestrand DNA breaks. The results revealed lack of induction of Micronuclei or DNA damage as evidenced by the Comet assay, despite the presence of traces of transformed toxic heavy metals.

Nature abounds in a variety of green leaves, and the researches shows that this provides the ready answers to the ordinary ailments of life. These remedies are most efficacious as they are taken directly from nature. Consumption of greens is a major source of vitamins and micronutrients. They are amazingly nutritious and powerhouse of antioxidants. Some of the plants highlighted here are filled with enormous amounts of proteins, phytochemicals like vitamins, favanoids, caratenoids, and minerals. Thus, turning to green will be a great advantage in the human life, as it provides safety, quality and efficacy, thus ensuring complete freedom from the hazardous effects of other systems.

Daucosterol (1) was isolated from the n-hexane soluble fraction of a methanol extract of the stems of Sida rhombifolia Linn. (Syn. S. rhomboidea Linn.). The n-hexane, carbon tetrachloride and dichloromethane soluble fractions of this methanol extract were subjected to antimicrobial and antioxidant screening as well as brine shrimp lethality bioassay. The dichloromethane and carbon tetrachloride soluble fractions showed moderate inhibitory activity to microbial growth while the n-hexane fraction showed highest cytotixicity having LC50 0.84 μg/ml. The dichloromethane soluble fraction also revealed potent antioxidant activity with IC50 20 μg/ ml.

Author(s): Trivedi, Mahendra Kumar | Abstract: Background: While spiritual and mental energies are known to man, their impact has never been scientifically measurable in the material world and they remain outside the domain of science. The present experiments on Yersinia enterocolitica [ATCC –23715], report the effects of such energy transmitted through a person, Mahendra Trivedi, which has produced an impact measurable in scientifically rigorous manner. Methods: Yersinia enterocolitica strains in revived and lyophilized state were subjected to spiritual energy transmitted through thought intervention and/or physical touch of Mahendra Trivedi to the sealed tubes containing strain and were analyzed within 10 days after incubation. Results: The results indicated that Mahendra Trivedi‘s energy has changed 20 of 33 biochemical characteristics of Yersinia enterocolitica along with significant changes in susceptibility pattern in 15 of 32 antibiotics. The Biotype number has changed from the original unblessed strain giving rise to 2 different biotypes in blessed samples while the external energy /treatment given was the same for all blessed samples suggestive of random polymorphism as analyzed through an automated machine. Conclusions: These results cannot be explained by current theories of science, and indicate a potency in Mahendra Trivedi energy, providing a model for science to be able to investigate the impact of spiritual energy in a rigorous manner.In lyophilized state, biochemical and enzymatic characteristics could be altered.

Soy is a legume from the family Fabaceae. In many countries it is one of the most important food crop. Soyabean is the seed obtained from the pod of the plant and is classified as oilseeds. It is rich in protein carbohydrates, saponins, phytiacid and oil but has lower levels of calcium. It has wide range of therapeutic as well as pharmaceutical applications. It has sedative, antispasmodic, diaphoretic, anti-pyretic properties, with hormonal balancing effects, can be used to prevent breast cancer, prostate cancer, endometrial cancer and baldness and has great benefit to the liver and circulation. It acts as a component of easy release jelly and also as an agent that provides good hardness and disintegrating property. It has application in sunscreen cream, moisturizing cream, and anti-wrinkle cream. Although it has many advantages and use but it is not without risk such as it can increase the rate of tumor growth in persons already suffering from cancer.

Rhizophora mucronata is seen along the tropical coastal line is associated with many medicinal activities. The purpose of present study is to investigate the anti-diarrhea activity of Rhizophora mucronata bark extracts as traditional used by people of India. The chloroform, ethyl acetate methanol and water extracts were subjected for antidiarrhea activity in castor oil induced and gastrointestinal motility test in albino mice and effect on spasmogen induced contractility in isolated guinea pig ileum. The phytochemical analysis was carried. The bark extracts showed inhibition of castor oil induced diarrhea and very significant percentage inhibition of charcoal meal in mice. The bark extracts did not inhibit the acetylcholine and histamine induced contraction of isolated guinea pig ileum up to 10 mg/ml concentrations. The study supports the anti diarrhea activity of Rhizophora mucronata bark, as evident from the castor oil induced and gastrointestinal motility and indicating a different mechanism of action.

Purpose: Trigonella foenum-Graceum Linn commonly known as fenugreek has a long history of traditional use in ayurveda and Chinese medicine and has been used for numerous indications, including labor induction, aiding digestion and to improve metabolism and diuresis. The present study was to evaluate the diuretic activity as traditionally claimed, from successive petroleum ether, benzene, ethanol and aqueous extract of fenugreek seed. Method: The diuretic activity of the successive extract of fenugreek seeds was investigated in wistar rat, according to Lipschitz method. Phytochemical analyses of the extracts were carried out. The Na+, K+ ion concentrations were estimated by flame photometer, and Cl ion concentration was estimated by titration against silver nitrate. Results: The diuretic response and electrolyte excretion potency from petroleum ether, and benzene extract were remarkable in comparison with the control animals. The extract at 150 and 350 mg/kg body weight showed a dose dependent increase in volume of urine, the naliuretic activity seen by increase in Na +/ K+ ions ratio with respect to control. Conclusion: The study indicates that aqueous and benzene extract as an effective diuretic and naluretic; thus, the work supports the traditional claim about the fenugreek seeds being used as diuretic.

Three hundred eleven patients were diagnosed histological as a cervix neoplasm in Vryheid District Hospital, Zululand Region, Kwazulu Natal Province from October 2004 until January 2008; one hundred ninety three patients were treated and followed up, 43 under multidisciplinary therapeutic approach and 150 with conventional modalities of treatments. One hundred eighteen patients weren’t properly treated and followed up, due to non treatment compliance and absenteeism to Primary Health Care and Hospital institutions. The Hysterectomies were necessary to be done in 58 patients from 193 total operated. The clinical evolution on the treated patients showed that the multidisciplinary approach was more effective than other isolated modalities of treatment. The level of recovering from their diseases on our 43 patients into the Natural and Bioenergetics Protocols was much better than others as well as the number of post operative and adjuvant complications were less. During the studied period 4 patients died from 43 into the Natural & Bioenergetics Protocols and 47 deaths were reported of 150 patients treated with conventional therapeutic modalities. The proper control, follow up and treatment of the patients affected by cervix neoplasm remains as a big challenge into the Health Department
