MUMBAI: Six months after the British Medical Association rubbished homeopathy as witchcraft with no scientific basis, IIT scientists have said the sweet white pills work on the principle of nanotechnology.

Homeopathic pills containing naturally occurring metals such as gold, copper and iron retain their potency even when diluted to a nanometre or one-billionth of a metre, states the IIT-Bombay research published in the latest issue of 'Homeopathy', a peer-reviewed journal from reputed medical publishing firm Elsevier.

IIT-B's chemical engineering department bought homeopathic pills from neighbourhood shops, prepared highly diluted solutions and checked these under powerful electron microscopes to find nanoparticles of the original metal.

''Certain highly diluted homeopathic remedies made from metals still contain measurable amounts of the starting material, even at extreme dilutions of 1 part in 10 raised to 400 parts (200C),'' said Dr Jayesh Bellare from the scientific team.

His student, Prashant Chikramane, presented the homeopathy paper titled, 'Extreme homeopathic dilutions retain starting materials: A nanoparticulate perspective', as part of his doctoral thesis.

"Homeopathy has been a conundrum for modern medicine. Its practitioners maintained that homeopathic pills got more potent on dilution, but they could never explain the mechanism scientifically enough for the modern scientists,'' said Bellare.

DENGUE AND HOMOEOPATHY

Signs and symptoms of dengue fever vary, depending on the form and severity of the disease.

Dengue fever
With the mild form of the disease, you may experience some or all of these signs and symptoms:

§ High fever, up to 105 F (40.6 C)

§ A rash over most of your body, which may subside after a couple of days and then reappear

§ Severe headache, backache or both

§ Pain behind your eyes

§ Severe joint and muscle pain

§ Nausea and vomiting

Sign and symptoms usually begin about four to seven days after being bitten by a mosquito carrying a dengue virus. Mild dengue fever rarely causes death, and your symptoms will usually subside within a week after starting.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever
More-severe forms of the disease usually begin the same way as the mild form (dengue fever) then become worse after several days.

Dengue hemorrhagic fever — a more severe form of the disease than initial dengue fever — can cause signs and symptoms of dengue fever plus:

§ Significant damage to your blood and lymph vessels

§ A decrease in the number of blood cells that help your blood clot (platelets)

§ Bleeding from the nose and mouth

§ Bleeding under the skin, which gives the appearance of bruising

§ Death

Dengue shock syndrome — Dengue shock syndrome — the most severe form of the disease — may cause signs and symptoms of mild dengue fever plus:

§ Severe abdominal pain

§ Frequent vomiting

§ Disorientation

§ Fluid (plasma) leakage from blood vessels

§ Heavy bleeding

§ A sudden drop in blood pressure (shock)

§ Death

Severe signs and symptoms may appear after your fever has improved. In a small number of cases, people with a severe form of the disease die of it. Modern supportive hospital care decreases this risk.

Causes

Dengue fever is caused by any one of four dengue viruses spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. These mosquitoes thrive in and near human habitations, where they breed in even the cleanest water.

Prevention

A dengue fever vaccine is in development but isn't generally available. If you're living or traveling in an area where dengue fever is known to be, the best way to avoid dengue fever is to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes that carry the disease.

To reduce your risk of mosquito bites, minimize your exposure to mosquitoes:

§ Schedule outdoor activities for times when mosquitoes are less prevalent. Avoid being outdoors at dawn, dusk and early evening, when more mosquitoes are buzzing about.

§ Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, socks and shoes when you go into mosquito-infested areas.

§ Stay in air-conditioned or well-screened housing. Patch screens if necessary, especially where there will be nighttime exposure.

§ Apply permethrin-containing mosquito repellent to your clothing, shoes, and camping gear and bed netting. You can also buy clothing made with permethrin already in it.

§ Use repellent with a 10 to 30 percent concentration of DEETon your skin. Choose the concentration based on the hours of protection you need — a 10 percent concentration of DEET is effective for about two hours; higher concentrations last longer. However, chemical repellents can be toxic, so use only the amount needed for the time you'll be outdoors.

alochol moderate and excessive - merits and demerits

Benefits of moderation

Moderate drinking is defined as two drinks a day if you're a male 65 and younger, or one drink a day if you're a female or a male 66 and older. A drink is defined as 12 ounces (355 milliliters) of beer, 5 ounces (148 milliliters) of wine or 1.5 ounces (44 milliliters) of 80-proof distilled spirits.

Moderate alcohol consumption may provide some health benefits. It may:

• Reduce your risk of developing heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and intermittent claudication
• Reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack
• Possibly reduce your risk of strokes, particularly ischemic strokes
• Lower your risk of gallstones
• Possibly reduce your risk of diabetes

Risks of excessive drinking

Though moderate alcohol use seems to have some health benefits, anything more than moderate drinking can negate any potential benefits. Be cautious because excessive alcohol consumption can lead to serious health problems, including:

• Cancer of the pancreas, mouth, pharynx, larynx, esophagus and liver, as well as breast cancer
• Pancreatitis, especially in people with high levels of triglycerides in their blood
• Sudden death in people with cardiovascular disease
• Heart muscle damage (alcoholic cardiomyopathy) leading to heart failure
• Stroke
• High blood pressure
• Cirrhosis of the liver
• Miscarriage
• Fetal alcohol syndrome in an unborn child, including impaired growth and nervous system development
• Injuries due to impaired motor skills
• Suicide

• Who shouldn't drink alcohol?

  People with certain health conditions shouldn't drink any alcohol, as even small amounts could cause problems. Don't drink alcohol if you have:

  • A history of hemorrhagic stroke
  • Liver disease
  • Pancreatic disease
  • Evidence of precancerous changes in the esophagus, larynx, pharynx or mouth

  If you have a family history of alcoholism, be particularly cautious when it comes to drinking, as you're at higher risk of alcoholism. And if you're pregnant, avoid alcohol entirely because of the health risks for your unborn baby.

  Also, alcohol interacts with many common prescription and over-the-counter medications. Check with your doctor if you take:

  • Antibiotics
  • Anticoagulants
  • Antidepressants
  • Diabetes medications
  • Antihistamines
  • Anti-seizure medications
  • Beta blockers
  • Pain relievers
  • Sleeping pills

  If you combine alcohol with aspirin, you face an increased risk of gastrointestinal bleeding. And if you use alcohol and acetaminophen, you increase your risk of liver damage. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration requires all over-the-counter pain relievers and fever reducers to carry a warning label advising those who consume three or more drinks a day to consult with their doctors before using the drug.

  Drink in moderation — or not at all

  Above all, don't feel pressured to drink. Few medical experts, if any, advise nondrinkers to start drinking. But if you do drink and you're healthy, there's no need to stop as long as you drink responsibly and in moderation.

food additives and ADHD [ ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVE DISORDER

Food additives that may increase hyperactive behavior include:

• Sodium benzoate
• FD&C Yellow No. 6 (sunset yellow)
• D&C Yellow No. 10 (quinoline yellow)
• FD&C Yellow No. 5 (tartrazine)
• FD&C Red No.40 (allura red)

FD&C Yellow No. 5, used in beverages, candy, ice cream, custards and other foods, may be more likely to cause reactions than other additives. The Food and Drug Administration requires that FD&C Yellow No. 5 be clearly labeled on food packaging along with other ingredients. But many colorings and food additives don't require similar labeling, so it can be difficult to tell whether a food contains artificial coloring or other additives. One rule of thumb is that brightly colored processed foods are most likely to contain one or more coloring additives.

More research is needed regarding whether limiting certain foods helps prevent hyperactivity and ADHD symptoms. If you notice that a certain food causes a change in your child's behavior, you may want to try eliminating it from your child's diet to see if it makes a difference. However, consult with your child's doctor before putting your child on a limited diet. A diet that eliminates too many foods can be unhealthy because it may lack necessary vitamins and nutrients.

The approach for your child's overall health and nutrition is a diet that limits sugary and processed foods and is rich in fruits, vegetables, grains and healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, flaxseed and other foods.

choose weight loss programme and diet

When it comes to weight loss, there's no shortage of advice. Check any magazine rack or bookstore or surf the Internet, and you're bound to discover the latest and greatest weight-loss "cures," from diets that eliminate fat or carbs to those that tout injections or special supplements.

With so much conflicting advice and so many weight-loss options, how do you know which diet is best for you? Will a weight-loss plan leave you feeling hungry and deprived? Will it be unsafe for you? And which weight-loss programs really work — for you? Here's how to choose a weight-loss program that may be the last one you ever need.

Involve your doctor in your weight-loss efforts

Ideally before starting a weight-loss program, talk to your doctor. He or she can review any medical problems you may have and medications that you take, and help you set weight-loss goals. You and your doctor can discuss what may be contributing to your weight gain — in rare cases, certain medical conditions or medications can cause unwanted weight gain, for example. And you can discuss how to exercise safely, especially if you have trouble or pain carrying out normal daily tasks.

Talk to your doctor about weight-loss plans you may have tried already and what you liked or didn't like about each of them. Be honest with your doctor about fad diets you may be interested in trying. Your doctor also may be able to direct you to weight-loss support groups or refer you to a registered dietitian.

Consider your personal weight-loss issues

There's no single weight-loss diet that will help everyone who tries it. But if you consider your personal preferences, lifestyle and weight goals, you may be able to find or tailor a diet to suit your individual needs. Before starting another weight-loss program, think about these factors:

• Past diets. Think about diets you may have tried before. What did you like or dislike about them? Were you able to follow the diet? What worked or didn't work for you on this diet? How did you feel physically and emotionally while on the diet?
• Personality. Do you prefer to diet on your own, or do you like getting support from a group? If you like group support, do you prefer online support or in-person meetings?
• Budget. Some weight-loss programs require you to buy supplements or meals, or to visit weight-loss clinics or attend support meetings. Does the cost of such programs fit your budget?
• Special needs. Do you have a health condition, such as diabetes, heart disease or allergies? Do you have specific cultural or ethnic requirements or preferences when it comes to food? These are important factors that should help determine which diet you choose.

Look for a safe and effective weight-loss program

It's tempting to buy into promises of dramatic weight-loss results. Successful weight loss requires making permanent changes in your eating and exercise habits. For a safe and effective weight-loss approach, look for these features:

• Flexibility. Look for a plan that doesn't forbid certain foods or food groups but instead includes a variety of foods from all the major food groups. A healthy diet includes vegetables and fruits, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean protein sources, and nuts and seeds — and even an occasional sweet indulgence.
• Balanced nutrition. A weight-loss plan should include proper amounts of nutrients and calories for your individual situation. Diets that direct you to eat large quantities of certain foods, such as grapefruit or meat, that drastically cut calories, or that eliminate entire food groups, such as carbohydrates, may result in nutritional problems, even if you take vitamins or supplements.
• Enjoyment. A diet should include foods you like and that you would enjoy eating for the rest of your life — not just for several weeks or months. If you don't like the diet, if it's overly restrictive or if it becomes boring, you're probably not going to stick to it.
• Availability. If a diet plan doesn't feature foods that you can easily find in your local grocery store, it may be harder to follow.
• Physical activity. Every weight-loss program should include recommendations to increase physical activity. Exercise plus calorie restriction can help give you the weight-loss edge. Exercise also offers numerous health benefits, including boosting your mood, strengthening your cardiovascular system and reducing your blood pressure. And exercise is the most important factor in maintaining weight loss. Studies show that people who maintain their weight loss over the long term get regular physical activity.
• Steady pace. A slow and steady approach is easier to maintain and usually beats out fast weight loss for the long term. A weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week is the typical recommendation. In some situations, faster weight loss can be safe if it's done the right way — such as a very low calorie diet with medical supervision, or during a brief quick-start phase of a healthy-eating plan that offers lots of healthy and safe strategies at once.

• Evaluate weight-loss programs

  When it's time to think about a specific weight-loss plan to choose, take a closer look at it to learn as much about it as you can. Keep in mind that just because it's popular or your friends are doing it doesn't mean it's the best — or safest — weight-loss approach for you. So ask these questions first:

  • What does it consist of? Does the diet plan provide general guidance that you can tailor and adapt to your situation, or does it require you to follow specific menus? Does it require you to buy special meals, supplements, drugs or injections? Does it offer online or in-person support? Is it something you can easily incorporate into your lifestyle? Does it teach you how to make positive, healthy changes in your life to help maintain your weight loss?
  • Who's behind the diet? Who created the weight-loss plan? What are their qualifications and experience? Do they have solid research and science to back up their weight-loss approach? If you go to a weight-loss clinic, what expertise, training, certifications and experience do the doctors, dietitians and other staff have? Will their doctors or staff coordinate care with your regular doctor?
  • What are the risks? Could the weight-loss program harm your health? Are the recommended drugs or supplements safe for your situation, especially if you have a health condition or take medications?
  • What are the results? What benefits does the weight-loss program promise? Does it claim that you'll lose a lot of weight in a very short time? That you can target specific problem areas of your body? Does it tout before-and-after photos that seem too good to be true? Does it help you adopt a lifelong, healthier approach to eating and exercise that will help you maintain weight loss permanently?

  Review common weight-loss approaches

  Most people can lose weight on almost any diet plan that restricts calories — at least in the short term. It's more difficult to maintain weight loss permanently. Most people who keep weight off for the long term are those who adopt healthy-eating habits as part of their normal lifestyle and who also get regular exercise. Keep that in mind as you review these common approaches to weight loss, some of which combine several different dieting techniques.

  • Fad diets. Fad diets are diets that usually promise that you'll lose a large amount of weight in a short period of time, often without changing your eating habits or exercising. They may tout pills, supplements, skin creams, patches, fat blockers, special combinations of foods, or other diet aids. Fad diets, such as cabbage soup diets, grapefruit diets and lemonade diets, are popular because they may work for the short term — but you usually regain the weight once you stop the fad diet.
  • Glycemic index diets. Glycemic index diet is a general term for a weight-loss diet that uses the glycemic index to guide your eating plan. The glycemic index was originally developed to help improve blood sugar control in diabetes. The glycemic index classifies carbohydrate-containing foods according to their potential to raise your blood sugar level. Glycemic index diets are based on the premise that controlling blood sugar levels leads to weight loss. Examples of glycemic index diets include Nutrisystem, the Zone diet and Sugar Busters.
  • Lifestyle-change diets. These diets encourage you to permanently adopt healthy lifestyle changes that lead to weight loss and possibly better health. These diets are based on changing unhealthy habits and behaviors. The Mayo Clinic Diet, for example, is a habit-based approach to weight loss that emphasizes a lifelong way of healthy eating and regular exercise. The Mayo Clinic Diet has two phases that together help you establish healthy habits that you'll be able to follow for a lifetime. Another example of a lifestyle-change diet is the LEARN Diet Program, which focuses on five essential components of change — lifestyle, exercise, attitudes, relationships and nutrition.
  • Low-carb or high-protein diets. Low-carb diets limit how many carbs you can eat every day, but the limit depends on the particular diet — some may be as little as 10 percent of standard dietary recommendations. Diets low in carbohydrates claim that excessive carbohydrates — especially sugar, white flour and other refined carbs — increase your insulin level, leading to blood sugar imbalances, weight gain and cardiovascular problems. While restricting carbs, some of these diets may allow you a large amount of protein and fat, a practice that some critics say can lead to nutritional deficiencies and other health problems. Examples of low-carb or high-protein diets include the Atkins diet, South Beach Diet and Protein Power.
  • Low-fat diets. Low-fat diets focus on cutting excess fat out of your diet, usually by limiting fat intake to about 20 percent of your total daily calorie intake. There's a perception that fat intake is largely responsible for being overweight or obese. But even a low-fat diet can lead to weight gain if you overeat and ignore the total calorie content. Too many calories from any source, including low-fat products, can add pounds or prevent weight loss. An example of a low-fat diet is the Ornish diet.
  • Meal providers and meal replacement diets. Meal replacement diets and meal providers supply most or all of your daily meals and snacks. You either buy them yourself or have them delivered to your home or office. With meal replacement diets, you typically replace one or two meals a day, such as breakfast and lunch, with a low-calorie, nutritionally complete shake or meal bar. Then you eat a healthy third meal, between 600 and 700 calories, of your own choosing. Meal providers give you ready-made meals that are usually calorie controlled and often can be tailored to your tastes and health needs. Some of these diets can be costly because of the added convenience. Examples of meal replacements and meal providers include Jenny Craig, Seattle Sutton and Slim-Fast.
  • Very low calorie diets. These diets drastically cut your daily calorie intake, usually allowing you between 400 and 800 calories a day. These are sometimes called modified fasts because your food intake is so low and because they're generally liquid diets. Your doctor may recommend a very low calorie diet if you need to lose weight quickly before a medical procedure or if you have serious health problems because of obesity. Don't try a very low calorie diet on your own. You need close monitoring by your health care team to avoid complications and to make sure you're meeting your nutritional requirements. Examples of very low calorie diets include Optifast and Medifast.

  Remember the keys to weight-loss success

  Unfortunately, most weight-loss diets are hard to stick to long enough to reach your weight goal. And some may not be healthy. Diets that leave you feeling deprived or hungry may create irresistable cravings — or worse yet, may leave you feeling like giving up. And because most weight-loss diets don't encourage permanent healthy lifestyle changes, the pounds you do lose often quickly come back once you stop dieting.

  Successful weight loss requires permanent changes to your eating habits and physical activity. This means you need to find a weight-loss approach that you can embrace for life. Even then, you may always have to remain vigilant about your weight. But combining a healthier diet and more activity is the best way to lose weight and keep it off for the long term. Take your weight loss and weight maintenance one day at a time and surround yourself with supportive resources to help ensure your success.

healthy snacks

Choose healthy snacks

Select foods that satisfy your hunger, supply your body with energy and provide important nutrients. Opt for snacks of 100 calories or less to stay within your daily calorie goal. You can eat more of foods with low energy density, such as carrots, grapes and air-popped popcorn, for your 100 calories. Choose snacks from these food groups:

• Fruits and vegetables. Eating fruits and vegetables provides a feeling of fullness with little to no fat and only a small number of calories. Fruits and vegetables also provide vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients.
• Whole grains. Whole-grain snacks are rich in fiber and complex carbohydrates, which give you energy with staying power. Look for items such as low-fat whole-grain crackers, whole-grain pretzels and whole-grain crispbreads.
• Nuts and seeds. Nuts and seeds provide protein, so you will feel fuller longer. They can be high in fat, but it's mostly monounsaturated, a healthy kind of fat. Nuts and seeds are high in calories, however, so don't eat them in large quantities.
• Low-fat dairy products. Cheese, yogurt and other dairy products are good sources of calcium and protein, plus many other vitamins and minerals. Choose the low-fat versions. Some yogurts have extra added sugar, so look for low-calorie or "light" varieties.

sun rash , its prevention

A sun rash is a red, itchy rash that occurs after exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. Causes include:

• Polymorphous light eruption. Polymorphous light eruption, the most common cause of sun rash, occurs in people who are sensitive to sunlight (photosensitive). The rash occurs after an episode of intense sun exposure, most often within several minutes to hours after the exposure, and is usually seen more often in the spring or early summer with the first few exposures to sunlight. It may improve over the summer months.
• Medications (drug-induced photosensitivity). Certain medications can cause sun rash, including drugs to treat high blood pressure, such as thiazides; antibiotics, such as tetracyclines; and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen.
• Exposure to certain chemicals or plants. Some chemicals, such as those found in perfume, soap or sunscreen, can make the skin sensitive to the sun. Also, contact with the leaves, stems, berries, or seeds of certain plants, such as celery, wild parsnip, lemons, limes or burning bush — along with exposure to sunlight — can cause a sun rash.
• Solar hives (urticaria). An allergic reaction to sunlight can cause solar hives — raised, red, itchy welts that seem to appear and disappear on your skin. The rash usually appears five to 10 minutes after sun exposure. Solar hives are uncommon.

In most cases, you can avoid sun rash with the following prevention tips:

• Avoid substances that cause sun rash. Try to identify and avoid coming in contact with substances that lead to sun rash, including perfumes or plants. If a sun rash occurs after taking a medication, talk to your doctor about switching medications.
• Limit time in the sun, especially when the sun's rays are most intense — between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Use sunscreen. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen — meaning it blocks UVA and UVB rays — with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30. Sunscreens don't block out UV rays completely, however, so you may still experience a skin reaction. If a sunscreen causes a sun rash, switch to a sunscreen with a different active ingredient or try a product designed for sensitive skin.
• Cover up. Wear tightly woven clothing that covers your arms and legs and a broad-brimmed hat.

sun protection and skin

Skin care: 5 tips for healthy skin

Good skin care — including sun protection and gentle cleansing — can keep your skin healthy and glowing for years to come.

Don't have time for intensive skin care? Pamper yourself with the basics. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent many skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.

1. Protect yourself from the sun

The most important way to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, freckles, age spots and rough, dry skin. Sun exposure can also cause more-serious problems, such as skin cancer. For the most complete sun protection:

§ Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is when the sun's rays are the strongest.

§ Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. You might also opt for special sun-protective clothing, which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays while keeping you cool and comfortable.

§ Use sunscreen when you're in the sun. Apply generous amounts of broad-spectrum sunscreen 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every two hours, after heavy sweating or after being in water.

2. Don't smoke

Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients, such as vitamin A, that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — may contribute to wrinkles.

If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.

3. Treat your skin gently

Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin, so keep it gentle:

§ Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water.

§ Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.

§ Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.

§ Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.

§ Moisturize dry skin. Find a moisturizer that fits your skin type and makes your skin look and feel soft.

4. Eat a healthy diet

A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear — but research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and carbohydrates may promote younger looking skin.

5. Manage stress

Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — takes steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results may be more dramatic than you expect.

green tea and weight loss

Green Tea Benefits in Weight Loss

• Green tea increases your metabolism: Studies shows that green tea extract increases the metabolic rate by 4%. These effects are probably due to the high concentrations of catechin polyphenols found in green tea. These work to help intensify levels of fat oxidation and thermogenesis (the rate at which your body burns calories).

• Green tea inhibits fat absorption and helps glucose regulation: Reports says that the catechins in green tea help to inhibit the movement of glucose into fat cells. Green tea may also act as al glucose regulator. It helps to slow the rise in blood sugar after a meal. This prevents high insulin spikes (lots of insulin promotes fat storage) and the subsequent fat storage.

• 3 – 5 cups of green tea per day is effective in noticeable weight loss. Doing this can help you burn an extra 70 calories per day which amounts to 7 pounds per year.
