CURE FOR DENGUE!!!!!!!!!!

DENGUE AND PAPAYA LEAF JUICE AS CURE
Just pasting this information which I received today for the benefit of the members (Please note: the 'I' is not myself but some original sender)

I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the SJMC ICU when his platelet count dropped to 15 after blood transfusion also.
His father was so worried that he seeked another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he give his son raw juice of the papaya leaves.
From a platelet count as low as 45 after blood transfusion, it jumped to 135 after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice.Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around.
Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves 2 pcs just clean and pound and squeeze the juice through cloth filter. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf.Sotwo tablespoons per serving once a day. No need to boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will lose its strength. Only the leafy part has to be taken, no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it. But it works wonders!!!!
Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue
You may have heard this elsewhere, but if not, I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.

A friend of mine had dengue last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water had started to fill in her lungs. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-years old. Doctor said there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle.

She already had 2 blood transfusions and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeezed the juiceout for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subsided. She was given papaya juice regularly and she recovered after 3 days!!! Amazing but true.

Papaya juice has a cooling effect thus, it helps to reduce the heat in one's body. It is also good when one is having sore throat

How To Make Your Own Hair Loss Treatment Formula

In ones lifetime it is normal to lose about 100 hairs per day, but under normal conditions these hairs grow back. When you start to experience more loss than that, then thinning of the hair begins and does not stop unless you do something about it.

Hair loss for men and women can come about for many different reasons. It can be a hereditary condition known as Androgenic Alopecia. Basically this means that testosterone levels are too high. Many families that have a parent that is partially or fully bald may or may not inherit this condition.

Other reasons for hair loss can come about due to poor diet, excessive perms or dying the hair or long use of poor quality shampoos and rinse that can clog the pores. Hormonal imbalances, aging, radiation, illness and toxicity may also be contributing factors.

There are different treatment options that a doctor can prescribe or you can go to your local drug store and get over the counter medications, and for some, hair transplants may be the way to go.

But if you are like the growing number of people that want a safe, workable alternative to medications, then this homemade salve may be just the thing for you.

The ingredients for this salve are;
1 tbsp warmed olive or jojoba oil
1 tbsp honey
Several drops of liquid herbal saw palmetto, sage and (rosemary if you have dark hair) (lemon for light hair)
1 tsp of cinnamon

1)Warm the mixture like a hot oil treatment, and massage into scalp where hair is thinning (double batch for whole scalp).
2)Leave on for 15 minutes. For best results, use a shower cap to keep the scalp warm and to prevent drips. Saran wrap also works well.
3)Rinse and then use a gentle shampoo to get all the mixture out of your hair.

You should notice right away how soft your hair is, like youĆ¢€™ve just done a professional hot oil treatment.

Olive oil taken on a daily basis has been shown to produce silky hair and soft skin. According to Adele Davis, a well known nutritionist, people on low or no fat diets, such as models, need the good fat such as olive oil to change dry hair and skin into being soft and beautiful. This is because olive oil is very high in menstruated fat and low in saturated fat. It also contains vitamins A, D and E. It can be used to make homemade topical creams that assist in softening skin and are helpful in healing wounds. Taken orally or topically, olive oil is beneficial.

Honey is one of natureĆ¢€™s pure gifts. Not only is it a natural sweetener but has beneficial nutrients such as B vitamins, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, iron, sodium but it also has enzymes and amino acids. Honey does not go bad. In a recent archeological dig, a 2000 year old clay jar was found with honey in it that was just as fresh as the day it was put in. It was also discovered that viruses, bacteria, germs in general, do not survive in honey and it is therefore a fantastic anti-microbial. Honey converts to a food grade hydrogen peroxide and when applied to the skin, in combination with any body fluids and the other ingredients, will oxygenate the skin.

Saw Palmetto, Sage and Rosemary are herbs that also assist in preventing hair loss and possible regrowth. As a matter of fact, Saw Palmetto is a natural ingredient that is found in many prescription or over the counter hair growth products. Saw Palmetto is also an herb that is widely used to assist the prostate and ovarian health.

Internal feeding is every bit as important and probably more than topical treatments alone. A diet high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, proteins such as fish, eggs and chicken and good oils will have an overall better health benefit for you. Regular exercise and a once or twice a week and natural hot oil treatments should do wonders for your hair and scalp.

13 Reasons for Hair Loss

There are many reasons for hair loss, even more than you can imagine, but specialists have identified 13 such reasons, and we will show them to you right away. What you need to know before we get to that is that your hair grows in cycles, which means that it regenerates from time to time. If you have more hair falling than hair growing again, then you have a hair loss problem. Here are the main reasons that may be responsible for that:

1. Age
We do not lose our hair all of a sudden, this happens in many years. If we start losing hair when we are still young, we will experience massive hair loss earlier than others.

2. Cosmetic products
If you are used to bleaching or dying your hair, you are more prone to hair loss problems.

3. Medicines and radiation
Some diseases are treated with types of medicines that can lead to hair loss. Excess of antidepressants, anticoagulants, treatments for ulcer, blood pressure and such may become causes for this problem. Chemotherapy, which is used for treating cancer, is also well known for being a reason for hair loss.

4. Genes
If someone in your family was prone to baldness, there are chances that you are prone to this, as well. Men are mostly affected, but women can suffer from this cause, too.

5. Hormones
Hormonal imbalance in the body can be a reason for hair loss, such as a hyperactive or underactive thyroid gland.

6. Disease
There are many illnesses, such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, diabetes and lupus, that can lead to hair loss.

7. Defective immune system
Our immune system is responsible for our bodies functioning well, including regenerating hair. Disorders of the immune system, like alopecia areata and alopecia universalis can cause the loss of hair on the body and the head.

8. Appearance of menopause
Women have to deal with hair loss when they experience menopause. As this condition determines hormonal imbalance in the body, the hair becomes thinner.

9. Local circulatory problems
Our hair needs to grow on a healthy scalp, so if we experience poor circulation at this level, we can also experience hair loss.

10. Having a baby
Pregnancy has a huge impact on a womans body. After giving birth, many women experience hair loss, due to the hormonal changes occurred.

11. Damaging hair styles
If you use to pull your hair a lot, in tight pony tails, or braids, your hair will become damaged and you will lose a part of it.

12. Too much sebum
Too much sebum building up at the root of the hair bulb can suffocate it. What happens next is that the hair falls and the new one is too thin to survive for too long. The process repeats itself until the hair dies forever.

13. Stress related reasons for hair loss
When we are very stressed, our bodies feel this and it reacts accordingly. Regarding hair loss, you should know that stress causes the hair to stop growing, which means that large strands of hair are lost in the same time.
If you want to fight hair loss efficiently, first you need to know the reasons for hair loss. An advice from a physician will put you afterwards on the right track.

Biotin and Hair Loss -- The Wonder Vitamin For Your Hair?

Biotin is primarily a component of vitamin B; individuals who go through treatment with medications such as Minoxidil and other hair loss medications (Propecia) typically need added supplementation with biotin for optimal results. This next brings us to the question of what exactly is biotin and its role in hair loss or propagation.

Biotin and Hair Loss -- What You Need To Know

Biotin is primarily, what makes up your hair and nails; this vitamin is not manufactured within the human body; instead it is received through the consumption of foods such as green peas, egg yoke, nuts (particularly, walnuts), soybeans, oats, brown rice etc..

A little known fact is that biotin and proteins bind very easily. When this occurs, it fails to reach the destination of hair and therefore hair loss will increase. Accordingly, it would be best to avoid all different kinds of protein powders and raw eggs.

The good news is that you can deliver biotin to your hair in various other ways other than through ingestion and/or injections. You could use shampoos that have biotin within them with and you would get virtually the same end results as you would have had if you would have attempted to take biotin orally. This is how a person can prove the connection that is between biotin and hair loss.

There are instances where regardless of all the possible recommendations as well as treatments, biotin does not appear to get absorbed well through the blood. When very studies have been taken, they have highlighted a problem between biotin and hair loss; it was discovered that some individuals were unable to absorb any amount of biotin at all. On additional investigation of biotin and hair loss, it was found very clearly that individuals who have type A blood are unable to absorb this type of vitamin.

The solution is that for those who have type A blood should not intake extra dosages of biotin. The optimal intake for these kinds of people would be five to eight grams per day. Fortunately there are little to no side effects, within the recommended limits of ingestion. The biotin and hair loss equation can also be interrupted when a person uses medicines for heartburn and/or acid reflux.

In addition to the above, there is nothing that would likely prevent biotin from working efficiently to restore hair growth for individuals who happen to suffer from hair loss. Individuals who need this type of vitamin can have it both in the form of pills (vitamin supplements), and through vegetables and fruits which are very rich in vitamin B. The biotin and hair loss connection has been distinguished well enough to be used as a natural remedy.

USE KOHL TO GROW HAIR ON BALD AREA

Just pasting from an email I received today for the benefit of the members (Please note: the 'I' is not myself but some original person)
To grow hair on any part of your body which is bald/hairless from birth, massage Surma/Kohl on the affected area twice daily.
The Holy Prophet have said that the best amongst Surma/Kohl is Ithmid or Asmad. However you can use any for the remedy.
It is an excellent remedy for the brothers who have bald patches on their beard. Even if you apply it once before sleeping at night, it will work marvels InshaAllah!
If you apply it twice daily, you will get results of effectiveness in a week and thick hair in a month. If applied once daily, be patient for two months. If applied three days a week, be patient for three months and InshaAllah you will be glad with the result.
Personally tried and tested or I wouldn't have initiated this...
How does it works?
Basically Surma/Kohl strengthens and thickens hair. The brothers and sisters who apply it in their eyes before sleeping (which is a Sunnah) and have experienced its effectiveness will understand what I mean.
For people who have thin hair, this remedy will strengthen and thicken them so be sure where you want to use it. If you are applying it on your beard, don't apply it outside the 'Khat', you wouldn't want hair there. The regular you are, the quicker the result. Result is a guarantee InshaAllah.
I am not sure if it works for my baldy brothers :) but since it strengthens hair roots, you can start applying it but it might take a lot of time and patience. Have belief and give it atleast a 3 to 6 months period.
Don't bother trying if you don't believe it will work. Belief is a pre-requisite.
Remedy :
To turn your hair from white to black, keep a few fresh potatoes in water in an 'iron' pot for a 24 hour period and wash your hair with it daily.

15 Hair Care Myths

Everyone has a favourite myth about hair care, and we usually never let the truth get in the way of a good legend! This article examines some of the most widely known - and the reality behind the myths.

1. Excessive washing of hair causes hair loss/dryness

FALSE: Frequency of washing doesn't harm hair. Wash it as often as you like, although the recommendation is three times a week. The right shampoo for your hair type and texture will actually add moisture, body and beauty to your hair.

2. More shampoo = cleaner hair

FALSE: Don't waste your shampoo! A dollop of shampoo, about the size of a quarter is usually enough for long hair. Very long hair may take a little more.

3. Conditioner helps repair split ends

FALSE. No conditioner can 'repair' damaged hair. What it can do is smooth down the cuticle and make hair seem in better condition. A good conditioner can also prevent damage from occurring in the first place

.4. Blow-drying produces hair loss

FALSE. Blow-drying can damage, burn or dry hair, which can cause it to fall, but the hair will grow back immediately. This is not permanent hair loss.

5. Sleeping with wet hair causes scalp fungus

FALSE. Scalp or fungal diseases can't be caught from sleeping with wet scalps. Scalp infections require prior involvement with infected sources such as humans, tainted hair care tools or animals. Scalp fungus (tinea capitis) mainly affects children, whose immune systems make them more susceptible to skin infections.

6. To get your hair to grow, brush 100 strokes each day

FALSE. Brushing that much can damage the hair cuticle. NOT recommended! Actually, your hair reacts better to a comb than a brush. Brushing it will only lead to split ends and hair breakage.

7. Sharing combs and brushes can spread scalp diseases

TRUE.Lice and other parasites can be transported from scalp to scalp through the sharing of combs, brushes and other hair care tools

.8. Cutting hair makes it grow faster and/or thicker

FALSE. This common misconception comes from the fact that hair is thicker at the base than it is at the tip, so shorter hair appears thicker at first. Cutting your hair does not affect its normal biologically determined growth rate or overall texture. Thin, limp or fine hair will not ever grow thicker in response to a haircut. Plump up your hair by using volume enhancing hair care products, experimenting with a hair fattening blunt cut or getting a texturizing perm or color treatment.

9. Color treatment causes hair loss

FALSE. Most hair coloring products contain chemicals that can do serious harm to the hair itself if not properly used, but it wont instigate hair loss.

10. Salon products are identical to drugstore products

FALSE. Although there are exceptions, salon products generally contain higher quality, more expensive ingredients that are designed to consistently provide more intensive cleansing, moisturizing and conditioning results. The quality ingredients found in salon products are not usually found in drugstore brands. If in doubt, read the labels.

11. Long sun exposure favors hair loss

FALSE. Your hair acts as a shield against the sun. Hair loss appears at the follicle level and so the sun would have to penetrate at this depth to do any damage.

12. Diet is related to hair loss

TRUE. it's important to eat right in order to be generally healthy. However, no individual food has been proven to be beneficial or detrimental to hair.

13. Stress causes hair loss

TRUE, Severe stress (e.g. surgery or a death in the family), can shut down hair production, causing temporary hairloss (alopecia areata). The scalp usually recuperates, though, and hair grows back

14. Wearing tight braids, ponytails or buns causes baldness

TRUE. Traction alopecia is a very real hair loss condition that is quite common amongst older African American women. It results from wearing tight ponytails, cornrows or buns over an extended period of time. Over time, hair breakage or loss as the result of tight, stressed styles, can become permanent. Avoid this potential problem by opting for looser styles that minimize scalp tension.

15. Smoking causes gray hair
TRUE. According to J. G. Mosley of the Leigh Infirmary in Lancashire, England in an article in Science News (January 11, 1997) smokers are four times more likely to have gray hair than non-smokers. Even worse, smoking has been conclusively linked to accelerated hair loss.

SUMMARYHeard another myth about hair? Do your research, ask an expert! This doesn't include your grandmother, best friend or local barmaid. Instead, talk to an experienced hairdresser or a trichologist. Always get the real facts before you act on any hair myths, you owe it to your hair.

THE BEST HAIRLOSS REMEDY




The most common cause hairloss is iron deficiency.
Iron deficiency is also known as anemia in medical terms wherein the body has a low iron level than what the body requires.
Due to iron deficiency the number of red blood cells is reduced in the blood and result in a number of ailments.

In most of the cases the person suffering from anemia will suffer extreme feelings towards hot or cold temperature (that is the person feels either too cold or too hot even at normal temperatures).

This is because iron is used to maintain the body temperature. Due to iron deficiency in the body the hair begin to fall. The person who is suffering from iron deficiency also takes time to recover from blood loss.

More than 80% women suffer from some type of anemia. The common reason for iron deficiency is that there is insufficient iron in their food.

Iron is one of the key elements in creating red blood cells in the body. Due to fewer red blood cells the person appears pale (due to loss of pigmentation) and the hair follicles become weaker. The weakened hair follicles cause hair loss.

The best method for hair loss prevention due to iron deficiency is, to consume nutritious food containing high iron content.

Doctors usually stress the patients to increase iron intake by consuming dried fruits, fish, legumes, meat, molasses, potatoes, dark green leafy vegetables, wheat germ, and grain products in the diet.
Sometimes lack of vitamins in body can also cause excessive hair loss in women.
Deficiencies in folic acid and B12 vitamin one of the causes for hair loss.
For immediate recovery doctors usually give iron and vitamin pills.

However these medicines are dangerous and should be consumed only after consulting a doctor.
