[www.keralites.net] SILVER SWEETS...VARAKH IS NON VEG

 

Silver sweets - VARAKH is NON-VEG
I don't if it's true or not.. But that was in my mail-box.. Thought to share with you friends....
In India, by law, every food item has to have a green dot on it, if it is vegetarian - and 
a maroon dot, if it is non-vegetarian. If a manufacturer is found to be cheating by 
mislabelling his product, the sentence is many years in jail.
So, how have the mithai (sweets) people not been arrested so far? Milk has been treated as
vegetarian to appease the powerful dairy lobby, but the silver foil or 'varakh' on each 
mithai cannot by any stretch of imagination be considered vegetarian.
"Beauty Without Cruelty", a Pune-based NGO that investigates into product ingredients, has produced 
a remarkable booklet on the varakh industry. Here is their report on how it is made.
The varakh-makers select animals at the slaughterhouse. Each animal is 
felt for the softness of its skin before it is killed. This means that a
substantial number of goat, sheep and cattle are killed specifically for the industry. 
Their skins are soaked in filthy, infested vats for 12 days to dehair them.
Then, workers peel away the epidermal layer, which they call jhilli, just under the top 
layer of the skin in a single piece. These layers are soaked for 30 minutes in another 
decoction to soften them and left to dry on wooden boards. Once these are dry, the workers 
cut out square pieces 19 cm by 15 cm. These pieces are made into pouches called auzaar and 
stacked into booklets. Each booklet has a cover of thick lamb suede called khol.
Thin strips of silver called alagaa are placed inside the pouches.
Workers now hit the booklet with wooden mallets for three hours to beat the silver inside 
into the ultra-thin varakh of a thickness less than one micron called '999'. 
This varakh is then sent to sweet shops.
Here are the statistics that you should know.
An animal's skin can make 20-25 pieces/pouches only. 
Each booklet has 360 pouches. One booklet is used to make 
30,000 varakh pieces - less than the daily supply of a single big mithai shop.
About 12,500 animals are killed for one kg of varakh. Every year, 30,000 kg of varakh (30 tonnes) 
are eaten on mithai. 2.5 crore booklets are made by varakh companies that keep their 
slaughterhouse connection secret. But the truth is that not only is this industry killing 
animals furiously, much of the animal tissue that the booklet is made of remains in the varakh.
Each Jain knows in his heart that varakh is non-vegetarian. But they
still use these dreadful items of mass destruction to decorate the idols of Jain
tirthankars. How amazing that the idols of those that preached and practised strict non-violence to all 
creatures should now be covered with slaughterhouse derived silver foils. Jains are the biggest buyers of 
the varakh industry. Many try to bluff themselves by saying that the varakh is machine-made
"Beauty Without Cruelty" has done a thorough investigation and found thatthere is 
not a single machine-made varakh piece in this country (or even the world).
On the web, there is one letter from a person, Jalandhra, claiming that he has a company which
has "fully automatic machines manufactured with German collaboration to beat silver pieces in between 
a special Indian manufactured paper in a hygienic and controlled atmosphere run round the clock by 
qualified Engineers and experienced R&D team". Initially, 
we were importing the special paper from Germany.
But when followed this up, no factory of the given name, or even address, was not found.
The production of varakh is done mainly in north India: Patna, Bhagalpur, Muzaffarpur and
Gaya (which is a Buddhist holy centre), in Bihar; Kanpur, Meerut and Varanasi (the holy city of Hindus) in
Uttar Pradesh; and Jaipur, Indore, Ahmedabad and Mumbai. The booklets come
to them from the slaughterhouses of Delhi, Lucknow, Agra and Ratlam.
Not only is varakh non-vegetarian, it is also very bad for your body - whether you are vegetarian or not. 
The silver cannot be digested; therefore, there are no benefits from its consumption . A study done 
in November 2013 by the Industrial Toxicology Research Center in Lucknow on varakh says that 
the silver foil available in the market has toxic and carcinogenic metals in the
thin silver foil, nickel, lead, chromium and cadmium.
Damages Body also
Over half of the analysed silver foils had lower silver purity than the
99.9 per cent purity stipulated by the prevention of food adulteration act of India.
When such foil enters into the body, it releases heavy metals that can lead to cancer. The report 
also details the unhygienic conditions in which workers put silver in
small leather bags and beat it into foil in filthy shops.
It is time we refused varakh-covered mithai, fruit or paan. Mithai shops should be taken to court for 
not labelling their products non-vegetarian, before selling them. I request everyone reading this article to 
strictly avoid the sweets that have a silver work on them. They are purely Non - Vegetarian.
ISKCON also confirms their non - vegetarian nature.

[www.keralites.net] JAMUN FOR DIABETES

 

JAMUN CAN CONTROL: DIABETES
Jamun is seasonal fruit native to India, Pakistan, and Indonesia that can be found mainly during the rainy season. It has a sweet and sour flavor, but leaves a bitter aftertaste and dyes the mouth a violet color, which is why many people do not like to eat jamun. However, if you can get passed this, the fruit has many health benefits.
Jamun pulp contains 82% water and 14.5% carbohydrates. Glucose and fructose are major sugar components. It also provides protein, vitamin A, B, and C, malic acid, augjelic acid, and tannin. The seed is also rich in protein and carbohydrates.
Jamun is known as a great appetizer due to its cooling nature. If eaten with rock salt, it can cure certain kidney problems.
To cure a sore throat, make a powder of jamun seeds and eat it with honey. Within two days it will begin to have a noticeable effect.
For diabetes patients, jamun is extraordinarily beneficial. It contains no sucrose, and thus it is one of the only fruits that provide zero calories. It helps to control blood sugar levels as it contains jambolin, which prevents the transformation of starch from our food into sugar.
People who have bad diabetes should have 200 grams of jamun everyday to keep their glucose levels under control. However, being a seasonal fruit, jamun is not available throughout the year, though its seeds and bark are equally beneficial.
To treat diabetes, take 500 grams of jamun seeds, 50 gram of soonth (dried ginger), and 50 grams of gurmar. Mix them all together and make small tablets out of the solution. Have two tablets everyday to keep diabetes away.
Alternatively, take 60 grams of jamun leaves and make a paste by mixing them with water. Ingest this solution daily for 10 days, then after two months repeat the 10-day cycle. Follow this until you get the results you are looking for.
If you have recently been diagnosed with diabetes, eat four jamun leaves every morning and evening. Within a month, your blood sugar levels will have returned to normal
Jamun has other benefits as well. Tree bark is used to treat piles, heavy mensuration, and white discharge in women. To treat piles, make a paste of green tree bark and have 1 tablespoon of this solution twice daily for 20 days. To treat white discharge, make a powder of jamun tree bark and ingest 1 tablespoon with milk.
Jamun tree bark can be powdered and mixed with toothpaste to help treat bleeding gums or infections. If you have mouth ulcers, then boil some jamun leaves in water and gargle.

[www.keralites.net] New 'stretchy glue' developed to replace stitches after surgery-with wounds closed in just 60 SECONDS

 


New 'stretchy glue' developed to replace stitches after surgery - with wounds closed in just 60 SECONDS

  • A breakthrough product that stretches and seals wounds could save lives

  • The injectable glue, MeTro, can form a complete seal in only one minute  

  • It's elastic and can be used on wet tissue, making it perfect for the lungs or heart 

  • The glue can be applied directly to the wound and is activated by a UV light

  • It's been tested on animals and could be available for human use in three years  

  • A study published in journal Science Translational Medicine showed the glue quickly and successfully sealed incisions in the arteries and lungs of rodents and the lungs of pigs.

    'The beauty of the MeTro formulation is that, as soon as it comes in contact with tissue surfaces, it solidifies into a gel-like phase without running away,' Professor Nasim Annabi from the Department of Chemical Engineering at Northeastern University said.


    Breakthrough injectable glue, MeTro, could save lives with it's super healing techniques including sealing wet wounds in 60 seconds and cutting patient recovery time in half

    While much more research is needed - with clinical testing on humans still to occur, Prof Weiss is optimistic about the study findings and the glue's future impact.

    'The potential applications are powerful - from treating serious internal wounds at emergency sites such as following car accidents and in war zones, as well as improving hospital surgeries,' Prof Weiss said.

    The game-changing glue is expected to be available for human treatment within the next three years.

    Subject: SOUL
    Lord - soul does not like or dislike - soul does not react - soul is a center of peace in us - it is the peace that is felt by getting rid of all the worldly matters of life - even though it is there for us all the time, it is not seen or felt by 99% of people because we engage ourselves too much in this materialistic world - meditation, 
    prayers, kindness, love will bring us to this peace which is our inheritance -
    LIFE n you and knowing God is just a simple story......... Here is a beautiful read. Enjoy, relax and act!
    Life is a short passage of our journey towards eternity - life is a gift that is given to us by God - compassion and kindness towards the human race and peace and love for humanity is the greatest grace and gift of our Lord to us and is our clear way to 
    eternity. Love all - as our Lord loves all and He cannot have a 
    seat in a heart that is not full of love for He is love - be joyful and you will become joy - even though you feel you are not happy, think about things that make you happy and be happy - happiness is our right

    "Give up your drop and become part of the ocean". 
    When you give up your ego self and become one with the world around you, you will find life to be a beautiful experience, a very happy experience.
    Regarding suffering, Rumi powerfully said, "I lost everything I had, but in the process I found myself, when I found myself, I found God when I found God, I did not need anything else - even in the 
    loosing of everything there was something deeper I gained."
