Oil and Gas

Gas Pipeline and Oil Rig Catastrophes
No doubt about it--jobs on platforms, oil rigs, and pipe decks are dangerous. Every day, people work with heavy equipment and uncovered oil machinery. Even though these workers are skilled, some errors will happen, like oil spills and rig falls. Oil rig and gas pipeline accidents rarely result in minor injuries. Oil and gas are flammable and explosive, respectively, and these operations use heavy equipment. When injuries occur, they are severe, if not fatal. Our workers compensation lawyers can get you the help you recover lost damages if you have been in a gas pipeline or oil rig accident on the job.
Injuries from oil and gas errors can include:
- Crush injuries, like crushed foot or crushed finger
- Broken bones
- Dismemberment
- Decapitation
- Tool pusher injury

Sioux Falls City Hall
224 W. Ninth St.
Sioux Falls, SD 57117-7402
Contact Us View Map
The winter of 2011–2012 in Sioux Falls was a mild winter on most accounts. This was to be our second true test for snow gates in two new areas of Sioux Falls. The lack of snow produced good savings in the snow removal budget, however, did not allow us to fully test the cost/benefit of snow gates. We have determined the data from this past winter to be statistically inconclusive and it would be difficult to incorporate the data into a model to determine the cost and efficiency of snow gates. The following is a list of factors that we used to reach this conclusion:
The past two winters, the Street/Fleet Division has tested snow gates to determine the cost/benefit of incorporating snow gates citywide. We delineated two neighborhoods during the 2010–2011 snow season and delineated two different neighborhoods during the 2011–2012 snow season as test locations for snow gate usage. The collected data is a snapshot of costs/benefits in those 4 areas but is hard to extrapolate over a 73 square mile area of Sioux Falls especially given the very limited data collected during the 2011–2012 snow season. We have learned a large number of homeowners support the use of snow gates in the areas we have tested in the past two winter seasons. In order to get a more representative sampling of cost/benefit of snow gates for the entire city, it is our recommendation to test snow gates again in the upcoming winter season of 2012-2013. It is also our recommendation to increase the number of snow gates from three to six to provide a larger test of snow gates. Placing six snow gates in six different areas of the city will provide a better representation of our ability to mobilize and operate these units plus provide more reliable information to estimate the operating commitment needed if the decision is made to go citywide with snow gates.
We look forward to providing quality data to review that includes the benefits, the costs, and the potential safety concerns that could be derived by implementing snow gates. After the conclusion of the third test of snow gates in the 2012-2013 winter season, and provided we have a normal winter season, we are confident we will be prepared to make a recommendation on the implementation of snow gates city wide.

Mild Cognitive Impairment in the Elderly - Editorials
Herbal 'Health' Products: What Family Physicians Need to Know - Article
ABSTRACT: Patients who self-medicate with herbs for preventive and therapeutic purposes may assume that these products are safe because they are "natural," but some products cause adverse effects or have the potential to interact with prescription medications. The United States lacks a regulatory system for herbal products. Although only limited research on herbs has been published, St John's wort shows promise as a treatment for depression. Ginkgo biloba extract is possibly effective for cerebrovascular insufficiency and dementia. Feverfew is used extensively in Canada for migraine prophylaxis but needs more rigorous study. Ephedrine has been regulated by many states because its misuse has been associated with several deaths. Echinacea is being tried as an agent for immune stimulation, and garlic is under study for cholesterol-lowering properties, but both require more study. Physicians should educate themselves and their patients about the efficacy and adverse interactions of herbal agents and the limitations of our present knowledge of them.
Herbal Medicines and the Family Physician - Editorials
Herbal Remedies: Adverse Effects and Drug Interactions - Article
ABSTRACT: A growing number of Americans are using herbal products for preventive and therapeutic purposes. The manufacturers of these products are not required to submit proof of safety and efficacy to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration before marketing. For this reason, the adverse effects and drug interactions associated with herbal remedies are largely unknown. Ginkgo biloba extract, advertised as improving cognitive functioning, has been reported to cause spontaneous bleeding, and it may interact with anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents. St. John's wort, promoted as a treatment for depression, may have monoamine oxidase-inhibiting effects or may cause increased levels of serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. Although St. John's wort probably does not interact with foods that contain tyramine, it should not be used with prescription antidepressants. Ephedrine-containing herbal products have been associated with adverse cardiovascular events, seizures and even death. Ginseng, widely used for its purported physical and mental effects, is generally well tolerated, but it has been implicated as a cause of decreased response to warfarin. Physicians must be alert for adverse effects and drug interactions associated with herbal remedies, and they should ask all patients about the use of these products.

Fantastic modern Japanese macro foodPosted on 05 / 13 / 2012
This macro/vegan restaurant has a great homely atmosphere which feels like walking in to someones beautiful home, which coincidentally is run by a wonderful family.
The lunch menu includes either a generous set lunch meal which is different each day or a smaller variety of a la carte selections. They can also make bento lunch boxes on request.
The family also speak fantastic English so for foreigners living in Japan it is a great option not only for lunch but also very hard to find meat free supplies.

Both Tracz and his passenger, Evelyn Tracz were transported to Fulton County Hospital. Evelyn Tracz was treated for minor injuries and released. Tracz was transported to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Mo.
Though Simmons was not hurt, his passenger Vickie Hambleton of Mammoth Spring did sustain some injuries, Foley said.

Fun and exciting.,
This review is from: Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (DVD)
Ethan Hunt is forced to go underground with his team in order to prevent a Russian nuclear missile from striking the United States. Due to the sensitivity of Russian and American relations, he is performing his mission with only a wink-wink from his superiors. This one contains the requisite action and excitement and is the best film in this trilogy since the original. The storyline is not overly complex, and I found myself invested in the action, at times feeling the thrills of the onscreen excitement right there in my seat. This is a fun movie to watch.

The Genealogical Science: The Search for Jewish Origins and the Politics of Epistemology
University of Chicago Press, Jan 13, 2012 - Social Science - 328 pages
The Genealogical ScienceĀanalyzes the scientific work and social implications of the flourishing field of genetic history.ĀA biological discipline that relies on genetic data in order to reconstruct the geographic origins of contemporary populations—their histories of migration and genealogical connections to other present-day groups—this historical science is garnering ever more credibility and social reach, in large part due to a growing industry in ancestry testing.Ā Ā In this book, Nadia Abu El-Haj examines genetic history's working assumptions about culture and nature, identity and biology, and the individual and the collective.ĀThrough the example of the study of Jewish origins, she explores novel cultural and political practices that are emerging as genetic history's claims and "facts" circulate in the public domain and illustrates how this historical science is intrinsically entangled with cultural imaginations and political commitments. ĀChronicling late-nineteenth- to mid-twentieth-century understandings of race, nature, and culture, she identifies continuities and shifts in scientific claims, institutional contexts, and political worlds in order to show how the meanings of biological difference have changed over time. ĀIn so doing she gives an account of how and why it is that genetic history is so socially felicitous today and elucidates the range of understandings of the self, individual and collective, this scientific field is making possible.ĀMore specifically, through her focus on the history of projects of Jewish self-fashioning that have taken place on the terrain of the biological sciences,ĀThe Genealogical ScienceĀanalyzes genetic history as the latest iteration of a cultural and political practice now over a century old.Ā

Folic acid supplementation is dangerous—and may increase breast cancer risk.
Women who take supplemental folic acid may increase their breast cancer risk by 20-30 percent, according to a study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers collected data on women's folic acid intake from multivitamins over a 10-year period—they found that the women who took multivitamins containing folic acid were more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those that did not.1,2
Another study found that women who took multivitamins regularly were actually morelikely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those that didn't take multivitamins after a follow-up of 9.5 years—this observation was attributed to folic acid.3
Also alarming was a study that compared women who took a large dose of folic acid (5 mg) during their pregnancy to those that did not. Thirty years later those women who were given the hefty dose of folic acid during pregnancy were twice as likely to die from breast cancer.4
Folic acid is the synthetic form of folate, a member of the family of B vitamins that is involved with DNA synthesis and DNA methylation, which essentially turns genes on and off. Because of these crucial functions, folate plays important roles in fetal development and nerve tissue health as well as cancer initiation and progression. One study investigating both food folate and synthetic folic acid found that only supplemental folic acid increased breast cancer risk. In other studies, women with low levels of food folate intake were more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer.2,5,6 Real folate from food is protective, fake folate from supplements is dangerous.
Some studies have shown no effect when examining the relationship between total folate (food plus supplemental folate) and breast cancer risk,7 but results from studies on supplemental folic acid have suggested significant cancer risks.1,3,4,8,9 Folate is considered a "double-edged sword" by many scientists: preventing deficiency is beneficial, but excess folic acid from supplements could be risky.10-12 This information is very important for women, especially since folate is so readily available in cancer-preventive foods, such as green vegetables and beans.
Men should be cautious about folic acid too. A 2011 meta-analysis of six folic acid supplementation trials (including both men and women) found that the incidence of all cancers was 21% higher in the folic acid supplementation groups.8 Results of a randomized controlled trial on folic acid supplements reported a 163 percent increase in prostate cancer risk in the group of men taking folic acid supplements.13
A meta-analysis of folic acid supplementation and colorectal cancer risk found that those who took folic acid for more than three years increased their risk of having a colorectal adenoma by 35%.14 In the U.S., Canada, and most recently Chile, colorectal cancer rates have climbed since the introduction of mandatory fortification of flour with folic acid.15,16
There have also been reports of potential negative effects on children due to folic acid supplementation during pregnancy. One study found that folic acid supplementation by pregnant women was linked to a 26 percent increase in the risk of childhood asthma.17 A second study linked folic acid supplementation during pregnancy to increased incidence of respiratory tract infections in infants, especially those resulting in hospitalization.18
In Norway, where there is no fortification of flour with folic acid, researchers conducting a six-year study on the homocysteine-lowering effects of B vitamins in patients with heart disease made an unexpected finding: the patients whose supplement included folic acid had a greater risk of cancer incidence and cancer mortality. These patients were 43% more likely to die from cancer.9
If folic acid might have these dangerous effects, why is it included in most multivitamins, prenatal vitamins and fortified grain products?
The protective effects of folate against neural tube defects (NTDs) have received much attention in the past. Unfortunately, this knowledge and public attention did not result in a campaign by the U.S. government encouraging women to get plenty of natural dietary folate from vegetables—instead, pregnant women are pushed to take folic acid supplements, and white flour is fortified with folic acid.
Folic acid is chemically different from dietary folate, which results in differences in uptake and processing of these two substances by the cells in the intestinal wall. Some folic acid is chemically modified to be more similar to natural folate, but the intestinal cells are limited in how much folic acid they can modify—excess folic acid often enters the circulation unmodified. Scientists do not yet know the implications of circulating synthetic folic acid. Many Americans, through multivitamin use and consumption of fortified foods, are taking in excessive amounts of folic acid, and thus may have unmodified folic acid circulating in their blood—this could contribute to the cancer-promoting effects.15,16,19
The recommendation that pregnant women take folic acid supplements is especially troubling—these women could safely increase their folate status and prevent neural tube defects (NTDs) by eating green vegetables and other healthy produce regularly before pregnancy, but instead they are instructed to take folic acid supplements, after they find out they are pregnant, which is not only not very effective at preventing birth defects, but could also put them at risk for breast cancer later in life. The children are also put at risk—women who take folic acid supplements as a substitute for good nutrition fail to provide their unborn children with other critically protective nutrients in folate-containing foods. Maternal nutrition is a critical determinant of childhood health—there are inverse associations between maternal vegetable intake and childhood cancers.20-23 That means that informing and insisting on the consumption of adequate intake of folate from vegetables, is where the attention should be focused, thus preventing not just birth defects, but also decreasing the occurrence of childhood cancers. Plus, the protection against neural tube defects is related to the folate intake before pregnancy. Folic acid supplement have to be taken before pregnancy and during the first 4 weeks (before most women even know they are pregnant) to be effective. Taking a folic acid supplement once you find out you are pregnant is almost worthless to prevent birth defects anyway. The point is there is no substitute for eating your vegetables all through life, and if you are eating healthfully, your body will store enough folate, even during a period of weeks with morning sickness and minimal food intake. Eating healthfully before pregnancy decreases the occurrence of vomiting during early pregnancy. Morning sickness usually occurs after the first 6 weeks of pregnancy, after the most vulnerable point for neural tube formation, in other words, eating right is the answer; the only sensible option for the informed women of child-bearing age and interest.
Unlike synthetic folic acid, folate obtained from food sources—especially green vegetables—protects against cancer.
Paradoxically, in people who do not take folic acid supplements there is inverse relationship between dietary folate intake and breast and prostate cancer.5,13 Folate is an essential nutrient with vital functions. It is probable that folate levels need to be tightly regulated by the body—that the timing and dose of folate is an important determinant of whether folate has positive or negative effects. Folate's actions on DNA may prevent cancer from initiating, but may also promote the proliferation of tumor cells that may already present.10,24 Even supplementing with real folate does not make sense for healthy eaters. Luckily, getting our folate exclusively from food ensures that we do not get too much. It comes naturally packaged in balance with other micronutrients and the body regulates its absorption.19
Rich sources of food folate
As a reference point, the U.S. RDI for folate is 400μg. Below is the approximate folate content of some common plant foods.8
Asparagus, 2 cups cooked
486 μg
Black beans, ½ cup cooked
156 μg
Mustard greens, 2 cups cooked
402 μg
Summer squash, 3 cups
100 μg
Edamame, 1 cup cooked and shelled
358 μg
Avocado, 1
121 μg
Collards, 2 cups cooked
354 μg
Pomegranate, 1
107 μg
Broccoli, 2 cups cooked
337 μg
Artichoke, 1
Adzuki beans, ½ cup cooked
139 μg
Papaya, 1 cup
53 μg
Chickpeas, 1 cup cooked
282 μg
Orange, 1
39 μg
Lentils, 1 cup cooked
178 μg
Hazelnuts, ¼ cup
38 μg
Cauliflower, 1 small head
225 μg
Blackberries, 1 cup
36 μg
Romaine lettuce, 3 cups raw
192 μg
Walnuts, ¼ cup
29 μg
Spinach, 3 cups raw
175 μg
Sunflower seeds, ¼ cup
26 μg25
All produce contains folate. Clearly, we do not need folate or folic acid supplements to meet our folate needs. If you eat healthfully, you get plenty, and if you don't, then taking supplements cannot protect you from diseases caused by the lack of produce in your diet.

|News/Features - Feature Stories

Before the first rehearsal of Alison's House, I wasn't sure what to expect. Though I had already read Davenport native Susan Glaspell's script and endured six hours of auditions, my experiences as stage manager were just beginning.
Peers warned me I was about to dedicate most of my spare time without much reward, but the opportunity to be involved with a main-stage production at Augustana was too good to pass up.
Alison's House opens at Augustana College the weekend of February 7 after almost eight weeks of rehearsals, at least four nights every week. I will have seen the show performed more than 30 times by the first night of its run. But I'm far from tired of the 1931 Pulitzer Prize winner.
Susan Glaspell was born in Davenport in 1882. The setting of Alison's House is also "in the Midwest – somewhere along the Mississippi River." The events of Alison's House center on the fictional Stanhope family's discovery in the process of selling their house of the poetry written by their renowned and deceased relative Alison. Alison's House has been said to shed light on the mysteries of Emily Dickinson's life and family, but it also arguably offers insight into the playwright's own scandalous life.
Much like Dickinson (and like Alison and Elsa Stanhope), Susan Glaspell fell in love with a married man, in her case stage director George Cram Cook. Poetry aside, the main conflict in Alison's House is between father Stanhope, the patriarch, and his daughter, Elsa, who left home to live with a married man.
Though the play has a happy conclusion (which I won't give away), Glaspell's life didn't have the ending she hoped for. Her mother turned Susan out of their home once she became involved with Cook, and the family relationships were never reconciled. (Glaspell and Cook were instrumental in the development of the Provincetown Players, which launched the career of Eugene O'Neill.) Susanne Kepley, Augustana's dramaturg for Alison's House, said people in the Quad Cities frequently spoke of the scandal. She also found a 1970s newspaper clipping that noted that "old folks … still harp on the dishonor Glaspell caused."
Though Glaspell brings some of her own life events into the play, she also focuses on the differences between generations. The audience sees the difficulties of passing morals and traditions from the older, conservative generation to the younger, more modern one. Elsa's behavior was unacceptable to any upper-class family, yet she is the only member of the family who found "true" love. Alison writes of her unfulfilled love in her poems, and even father Stanhope mentions an affair he never pursued.
Being involved on the sidelines of rehearsals has made me feel somewhat like a neighbor looking in on the lives and events unfolding next door. I feel as if I know this fictional family; they face real problems and need real solutions.
And every time I see the scenes worked through, there's something new to perceive. At first, I had the impression the play was too melodramatic, as audience members might feel after seeing the play once. But after I digested the play's characters and events, I began to notice the subtext, and the beauty of the underlying emotions that are revealed through the action. The Stanhope family isn't just dismantling the old house to sell it; they are emotionally torn up about leaving memories of Alison behind. In everything they do, Alison's spirit lingers, just as with everyone who has lost someone dear to them.
Alison's House is a unique view on love, tradition, and strength. Though it is set more than a hundred years ago, the themes and the action will still appeal to a contemporary audience. Glaspell's poetic work is like a song that can be sung again and again – each time filled with a new emotion.
Alison's House will be performed in Potter Hall at Augustana College on February 7, 8, 13, 14, and 15 at 8 p.m., and on February 9 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5, with discounts for senior citizens and students. Call the Augustana Ticket Office at (309)794-7306 for tickets.

|Reactions to President Obama's Sate of the Union Address
|News Releases - Politics & Elections
|Written by Various
|Friday, 15 February 2013 11:38
Loebsack Statement on the State of the Union Address
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Dave Loebsack released the following statement after President Obama delivered the State of the Union Address. In the spirit of civility and bipartisan cooperation, for the second year in a row, Loebsack sat with Congressman Justin Amash (R-MI-03) for tonight's address. Loebsack and Amash recently joined together to introduce a bipartisan balanced budget amendment. As a member of the No Labels "problem solvers" group, Loebsack wore an orange lapel pin that read "Stop Fighting, Start Fixing". The bipartisan organization works to bring Democrats and Republicans together to achieve across the aisle cooperation.
"In what remains a deeply divided nation, where there are few things on which many people agree, growing our economy and creating jobs remains a goal that we can all work towards. I was glad to hear the President focus so much of his attention on these important issues. I strongly believe that we must confront the fiscal problems that are facing our nation, but as the President said, we must do this from the middle out, not the top down. I was happy to hear the President talk about the importance of investing in education for kids of all ages. It is one of the best ways to ensure the middle class will prosper.
"When we have a strong middle class, we have a strong nation. We must get the budget in order, but it must be done in a balanced way. It cannot be done on the backs of seniors, the middle-class, and hard working families.
"I was also pleased to hear the President focus on investing in clean energy, including wind energy. I have long been a supporter of the Production Tax Credit, which supports the growth of wind energy jobs in Iowa and across the nation, while lessening our dependence on fossil fuels. 7,000 Iowans are employed in the wind energy industry in Iowa alone and it is important we continue to support and grow this home grown industry."
Statement from Governor Quinn on President Obama's State of the Union Address
CHICAGO – February 12, 2013. Governor Pat Quinn issued the following statement regarding President Barack Obama's State of the Union address:
"President Obama laid out an inspiring agenda that will make America a magnet for jobs and drive economic growth for the next generation.
"As the President made clear tonight, cuts alone will not bring us to prosperity. We must reduce our deficit by taking a balanced approach that includes both reforms and closing loopholes. And making crucial investments in areas like education, infrastructure and manufacturing will pay dividends in the future, creating more jobs and growing the middle class.
"Illinois stands ready to do our part. As the President called for manufacturing hubs across the nation, we are already on our way to making the Illinois Manufacturing Lab a reality.
"Last week in my State of the State address, I announced a partnership with the University of Illinois and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications to create an advanced manufacturing hub where companies come to learn and access the world's most sophisticated tools and software.
"We can all agree that hard work should lead to a decent living. A strong middle class will lift up our entire country. I urge the members of the United States Congress to put politics aside and join the President in doing the hard work that's necessary to strengthen our economy."
Gamaliel's Response to the State of the Union Address Given Tonight by President Obama

I am the land
I am the stone
I am its breath
I am its bone
I am the song
brought with the wind
Ever present
but never seen
I am the spark
in the lakes eyes
The arms of trees
And wings of night
As old as hills
As deep as sea
Forever young
Forever free...

There can be great truth and beauty housed in simplicity.
Fantastic! Im in awe, so simple, yet sooo beautiful, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much! I don't normally post links to my work in comments, but when I saw your gallery, I thought you might like it
It's very beautiful - perhaps I've already said it
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful example of nature for the Nature Feature! I hope many more people can appreciate your work
such a vivid image i see thank you for this picture you've painted me
how wonderfully encompassing and yet concise at the same time, I like this very much. maybe the only thing that picked at me was 'wings of nights' rather than 'of night'
Thank you very much! It's only my 2nd poem in English, so I'm really glad that you like it! I used nights because of the rhyme, should I change it to night?
Amazing! I love this piece
so lovely, so powerful too.
I like it!! ^^

Simple and beautiful. I always like poems that connect with nature
Beautiful song! Thank you for the link
I gladly provided it... It can be even classified as self-advertisement I'm glad that you like it, thank you very much for the comment and !
Wow, this is wonderful Mirach! Made me think of "The Voice" by... Celtic Woman, wasn't it? Argh, I don't remember at the moment, but the song is awesome!
Ah, lovely job yet again! One of should turn the random RPs we did into a story one of these days
Thank you! I'm not sure if I understand: you are turning them into a story?
Eeks, if only I had that kind of time! No, I was just suggesting that one (or both) of us do something with them someday
As I said: lovely!

Protecting applications and databases key to IT security, study shows
The most effective data security approach involves technology to protect applications and databases alongside traditional approaches, a study has revealed.
This Article Covers
Risk management
The most effective data security approach involves technology to protect applications and databases alongside traditional approaches, a study has revealed.
The conclusion is based on a survey of over 1,000 IT security professionals at multinational companies by security firm Imperva and security research firm Securosis.
Respondents rated web application firewalls, network data loss prevention, full disc encryption, server hardening, and endpoint data protection as the most successful technologies in reducing the number of data breaches.
"This survey will help security teams identify what their peers find successful and hopefully help make improvements to their own strategy and operations," said Amichai Shulman, chief technology officer at Imperva.
Malicious intentions are behind 62% of data theft with insider breaches comprising 33% and hackers 29%, while the remaining breaches were accidental, the survey found.
Nearly two-thirds of organisations either do not know whether they suffered any data breaches, or said they had not experienced any.
"This shows many companies are still not applying adequate controls on data," said Shulman.
Of those companies that were hit by data breaches, 27% saw a decline in breaches, while 46% reported the same number of breaches as the previous year.
This survey illustrates that data security as a practice is maturing, said Rich Mogull, chief analyst at Securosis.
"Given what is at stake, we are pleased to put numbers behind what we all hoped - that organisations are starting to take data security more seriously," he said.
The survey is available online to enable security professionals to compare their data security practices with other survey respondents.

"These days we don't have doctors. We have specialists who know more and more about nothing," says Professor Dr BM Hegde, while speaking at a seminar on holistic approach to healthcare and wellness, organised by Moneylife Foundation.
Prof Dr Hegde, a Padma Bhusan awardee and prolific writer, spoke in detail about various aspects of wellness and the crises in modern medicine. He emphasised that wellness simply is happiness within the human system and health is enthusiasm.
While criticising the money minded healthcare and pharma industry, Dr Hegde elaborated the importance of alternative medicines and therapies like Pranic healing and Reiki. According to him the key to wellness is by being free from negative thoughts, eating natural food in moderation and having adequate sleep.
Disease Mongering
Prof Dr Hegde, explaining how billions of dollars are spent on AIDS and cancer research across the globe, said that we are living in the era where diseases are sold. "All the crises modern medicine is facing is due to money. The lure for money has resulted in diseases mongering. They are sold."
He said doctors today are indulging in disease screaming. "If one goes to a high school and screen all the students with an angiogram, it will be found that 76% of them will have pre-vessel block. If you don't have a block, you will die before the age of 30. When you have a block, it means protection. This is called pre condition. But doctors, after seeing that you have money to spend and a medical insurance, will suggest all kinds of tests and surgeries for the same blockages."
According to the eminent Professor medical insurance is the biggest curse. Instead people should ensure their health, he said.
Minimum use of medicine and unnecessary treatment
Prof Dr Hegde, often calles as "people's doctor" believes that way to wellness and healthcare is usage of minimum medicine and avoiding unnecessary treatments or surgeries. He said surgeries should be confined for corrective purposes. "If a child is born is with hole (in heart), then that need to be corrected through surgery," he said.
He says that people are ensnared to believe that popping a pill gives instant relief. "But one has to remember that behind every ill there is a pill." He adds, "You have a headache; your blood pressure goes up. Then you go to a doctor for check up, which means you are a patient and you don't come back. Instead a simple pranayam with five breathing technique can give you faster relief from the headache."
Prof Dr Hegde also spoke on the tactics used by the doctors and medical institutions in making profits. "Audit in few American hospitals showed that majority of their profits comes from deaths that take place in the Intensive Care Units (ICU).
He raised concern over increasing cases of caesarean births. "Natural tear (caused in normal birth) is quickly healed compared to cuts (due to C-sec births). It is also much safer and helps in the development of mind, which is known as perinatal consciousness. But the doctor and hospital will not earn money through normal delivery, and therefore everyone, especially from metros like Mumbai, opts for the C-Section cut," he said.
Alternative medicine
Prof Dr Hegde spoke about the importance of alternative medicines like Ayurveda and Homeopathy. He said, "There are all kinds of tactics are used to suppress Homeopathy as a form of treatment. But it is one of the best medicines. It is much more scientific than modern medicine. Just because one cannot detect the chemical present in the nano particle of the pills, you call it unscientific? This is not fair."
According to him, modern medicine claims to be based on science but research has found that majority of health problems stem from the mind while modern medicines can offer only a temporary relief. "If one has a happy mind, his body is largely free from diseases."
Speaking on Ayruveda, Prof Dr Hedge explained that how millions of dollars and many years were spent to find the cause of common cold but nothing was concluded. At the same time Ayurveda, for instance, lists food that has to be consumed during various seasons like eating more spices during winter. "In fact, Lancet (leading medical journal) advised people in Britain to eat to eat curry in Indian restaurants as a cure for common cold during winter."
Prof Dr BM Hegde also explained the benefits of consuming ginger, garlic and pepper as cure for many diseases and allergies.
Benefits of coconut oil
Prof Dr Hegde says that contrary to the popular believe that coconut oil is seen as poisonous; in reality it has many healthy advantages. "If a doctor says that coconut oil has cholesterol, it means he has not gone to medical schools. It is used for treatment on Alzheimer and severe problems of skin diseases. Even Americans after having done their propaganda against coconut oil has accepted its benefits. Now it forms the basis of their (the US) infant food."
Delete negative thoughts
Prof Dr Hegde said that one who is free from negative thoughts and is compassionate, is bound to live healthy life. He says that, "It is not what you eat that kills you, it is what eats you, kills you."
Concluding his talk, Prof Dr Hegde reminded audience the mentions doctors as brother of Yama's (god of death according to Hindu mythology).
The text says-
Vaidyarajam namastubhyamm yamarajam sahodaram,
Yamastyu harati pranam vaidyam pranat dhananicha.
This means Vaidya, (doctor) and Yama are both brothers. Yama takes only life, but vaidya takes both, life and money.
Here is what Prof Dr BM Hegde prescribes for wellness and Happyness…
• One should consume natural food in moderation
• Sleep in pitch dark room
• Electronic devices such as Television should be switched off and mobile phones shouldn't be charged while sleeping. This is to avoid the presence of electromagnetic waves.
• One should get up before sunrise
• One should eat the last meal before 7pm

This article should be pasted on all doctors forehead and in front of their clinic and entrance of the Hospitals. They laugh at most of the Indian traditional system to good health. A simple example is that one doctor laughed at our oil bathing routine, whereas he goes to Kerala to take body massaging with oil for pleasure.

Murder convicts with death sentence have the right to live in this world as Government guests where as a 5 day old baby had to vacate this world the moment her parents pleaded inability to pay Rs 200/- to the hospital. Where is the medical ethics, apthecary oaths,.... . Vaidhyonarayano harihi or vaidhyo yamadharmaha? Shame, shame, shame to the qualified professional quacks. Here a quack, there a quack everywhere a quack quack!!!
