Where The Holistic Rubber Meets The Scientific Road

DNA Typing Essential To Choose Your Best Weight Loss Plan

Here’s a big step forward in dieting technique.

Ever wonder why some people seem to lose weight easily and yet others, on exactly the same regimen, don’t seem to be able to lose at all?

The answer always was that people are different.

But to understand just how different, we need modern science, especially an understanding of DNA variability.
Everyone knows, or thinks they know, about DNA and genes. What few people, including doctors, seem to understand is that genes are not fixed but subject to tiny variations called single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs for short (pronounced SNIPs).

These little variations affect the expression of the gene, so that sometimes it doesn’t really manifest properly. If that happens to be a gene connected with how food is processed in the body, you will quickly realize that SNPs may markedly alter how a person responds to a reducing diet.

And so it is.

Now researchers from Stanford University conducted a study in which a person’s response to a variety of diets was compared to certain genes and their inevitable SNPs. The diets included: the Atkins diet (very low carbohydrate), the Zone diet (low carbohydrate), the Ornish diet (very low fat) or a health professional’s diet (a low-fat diet that generally follows the U.S Agriculture Department’s Food Pyramid). The women also had the inside of their cheeks swabbed to collect a DNA sample.

Researchers used the genetic information to assign women to a “genotype-appropriate” diet, an eating plan that would seem to be the most effective for them given their particular genetic makeup.

They found that women assigned to the correct diet based on their genotype lost two to three times more weight after 12 months than those who were assigned to a diet that was wrong for their gene type.

When the researchers looked at only the most extreme diets (Atkins versus Ornish), the results were even more stark. Women assigned to their correct diet for their genotype lost five times as much weight as those on the incorrect diet, the study found.

Moreover, the women on the correct diets also showed improvements in their “good” (HDL) cholesterol and decreases in harmful triglycerides.

Interestingly, the different diets performed similarly; there was no “best diet”. But among the women assigned to each diet, there was a striking variation in how they responded to that diet. In other words, on each diet, there were a lot who lost weight, there were a lot who didn’t lose weight and there were even some that gained weight.

The study was to be presented Wednesday at the American Heart Association’s Nutrition, Physical Activity and Metabolism Conference 2010, in San Francisco.

The womens’ genotype was established by a DNA test, made by Interleukin Genetics in Waltham, Mass., which sells for $149. Quite affordable for the average individual.

Of course there were doubters. Dr. Robert Eckel, past president of the American Heart Association and a professor of medicine at University of Colorado School of Medicine, said the study results were very preliminary and had to be confirmed by larger studies before he would recommend that anyone have their diet genotyped.

He admitted that the study findings could explain small differences in the way people respond to diet. But then went on to say that right now the most important predictor of successful dieting is compliance, which is about the stupidest comment I have ever heard in this context.

Duh! Eckel! Don’t you get it! People who complied did not always lose weight. Sometimes a woman even gained weight on a regimen. Your story is old hat; it just doesn’t hold water. And women who are tired of being told they are liars when they claimed to have adhered to a diet and failed to lose weight now have ammunition to whack the idiot judgmental doctor on the head!

  1. REMOTE APPLICATION OF DYNAMIC MEDICINE OF HOMOEOPATHY

    Prof.Dr.MK.Sahani,
    Chairman, Research Institute of Sahni Drug Transmission & Homoeopathy,
    Shivpuri, Patna 800023

    Initially with meager knowledge of resources available in nature the earliest man during sickness must have sought the help of some divine power, which gradually developed into systemic medicines. Many of the Alternative Therapy practiced now a days has their origin with the drugless method and among them are the Reiki Pranic healings and other. With further accumulation of information these healing method manifested in the medicinal substance and plant available in abundance in nature. Thus materialistic search for medicine began which has now taken a very deep-rooted faith in them.

    Great philosopher Hippocras, who is also considered as father of medicine, gave principle to application of material medicine- either on similar or on dissimilar presentation of symptoms produced by medicinal substance. These are the steps for formalization of medicine into system. While the dissimilar medicine gained popularity with their quick effect the similar medicine faded for want of acceptability of its logic.

    It was Dr.Hahnemann now some 200 years ago who rediscovered that medicine when applied on similar principle have lasting effect of cure and he developed it as a system of Medicine- Homoeopathy. He discovered that causation of all sickness lies within the person who is sick. It is well accepted by many that some dynamic force governs Life, which is unique for each individual. As such any sickness before manifesting on the physical body has to weaken the strength of this dynamic force, which was called as Vital Principle by Dr.Hahnemann. Thus only Vital principle is responsible for all sickness. If cure has to be established one must make an attempt to restore the Vital Principle. Search for medicine for the vital principle is also the discovery of Homoeopathy. Dr.Hahnemann developed a unique method to develop a medicine for the Vital Principle by extracting out the dynamic principle of the medicinal substances. He diluted them to such an extent where no material of medicinal substance existed. This is well known in Homoeopathy, as Potentisation. It is a method of diluting the material property and developing the Energy property. It is curious to note that there is not a single molecule of medicinal substance in all of the Homoeopathic medicine beyond 6th to 12th Potency. Still their efficacy is well known for many and time tested for the last two hundred years.
    Dr.Hahnemann tried to explain this phenomenon and he was aware of the nature of medicine available in potentised medicine, thus he wrote that administration of these medicine may be done either by oral, tactual or olfaction. He even went on comparing the action of Homoeo medicine to that of the Mesmerism. Thus Homoeopathy is only medicating the Vital Principle.
    In aphorism 288 Dr.Hahnemann writes “The action of medicines in the liquid form upon the living human body takes place in such a penetrating manner, spreads out from the point of the sensitive fibers provided with nerves whereto the medicine s first applied with such inconceivable rapidity and so universally through all parts of the living body, that this action of the medicine must be denominated a spirit like a (dynamic virtual) action.” Again in aphorism 293 he writes, “I find it necessary to allude here to animal magnetism, as it is termed, or other mesmerism (as it should be called, out gratitude to Mesmer, its first founder), which differs so much in its nature from all other therapeutic agents. The curative power, often so stupidly denied, which streams upon a patient by the contact of a well-intentioned person powerfully exerting his will, either act homoeopathically…”

    One can wonder how a dynamic substance can be swallowed by mouth, how it can be eaten. Some 40 years back Dr.B.Sahni with his vast experiences and philosophical background could not digest this logic. He told that this energy medicine could only be transmitted to the patient. Never in the past they were swallowed, they were only transmitted by direct touch.
    Dr.B.Sahni with these thoughts on transmission developed the idea of remote application, which he called Transmission of Homoeo Drug Energy From a Distance. All dynamic energy substance has the property to be transmitted from a distance. We are aware of these facts as light, sound electrical energy are transmitted from a distance and has varied application in our society. As the transmission need a medium Dr.Sahni tried to use natural belongings of the person as medium and he was successful in transmitting medicinal energy through them.

    With experimentation on various types of patient it is now proved beyond doubts that Homoeopathic medicines are not a commodities to be fed by mouth. They can be transmitted from any distance using the natural belonging of the person. Hair being very convenient it became the ideal medium for transmission and is being used by all. Now there are thousands of followers of Dr.Sahni who are using this unique mode of transmission.

    Question may still arise how Dr.Sahni’s Transmission method is different from Reiki and other pranic healing. While in Drug transmission of Dr.Sahni there is transmission of definite known energy pattern of medicines obtained from the natural sources, in Reiki or others, indefinite sources are used. They are not using the medium of the patient. In Dr.Sahni’s Transmission well-proved medicines are transmitted.
    How it is possible to transmit the medicine energy. Different logic can be given. Scientific explanation will take time to explain this phenomenon, and it is proved fact that medicines of Homoeopathy are still a mystery for science. They are yet to be explained as no laboratory yet has detected the existence of medicine in a potentised homoeo medicine. It is assumed that stored information of the medicines is passed on to subsequent molecules of the carrier substance thus getting magnified in potency. It is presumed that each individual is unique in them selves. They have their own identity, which can never be duplicated, thus their Vital dynamic plane of body too have individual vibration of wavelength working on definite frequency. This is individualization. In Homoeopathy too this individualization is tried to be found out through symptoms manifestation to match the similarity with medicine. Homoeopathic potentised medicine also represents a particular energy pattern with definite wavelength. Thus when a hair of the patient is brought in contact with the dynamic medicine, it assume the frequency of hair and it is transmitted to the person. We can assume that natural belonging of the person when it is separated from the body still retain the same frequency. Thus with this we can say there are as many individual wavelength of person as many of the person available in this globe. Each medicine too represents a particular type of wavelength. To the science only a few of the wavelength are discovered still more need to be discovered.

    Dr.B.Sahni too tried to explain this phenomenon of transmission of medicine in his book-Transmission Of Homoeo Drug Energy From A Distance and took logic of Raman’s effect to explain. Quite a numbers of explain are being tried. But as the mystery of potency require unfolding the truth we can explain more in future with more accumulation of experience.

    Practical experiences are now accumulating on with more and more miraculous results. It has been now tried on all types of individuals as well as on animal to prove that its effect is not mesmerism nor psychological. Hard tumors to the malignant cancer have responded to these methods and now thousands of practitioners are adopting it as their mode of administration of medicine.

    There are many advantages for these methods – the expert physician can treat Patient seated at far distance place, only a strand of hair is needed. In grave emergency and where doctor are not available this method proves to be a boon. In case of medicinal aggravation, which is quite common, simply detachment of hair from the medicine will bring down the effect giving relief and no antidote will be required. Overdosing which are hazards of all types treatment can be well checked with drug transmission and only required energy can be passed on to the patient.

    Dr.Sahni’s Method has much potentiality of further researches and he during his own lifetime-established Research Institute of Sahni Drug Transmission And Homoeopathy with headquarter at Patna. It is well known fact that exact modes of action of Homoeopathic drugs are still a plausible in spite of the fact that they work. Lack of proper scientific explanation to the criteria of present put Homoeopathy among doubtful position. Exact measurement of the properties of Homoeopathic medicine, as its vibration or frequency will definitely be accepted by all. With its remote application of Dr. Sahni it method one can well imagine that all Homoeopathic medicine must have definite wavelength with definite frequency. Likewise its action on the vital plane of the individual person can also well explained with having definite wavelength and frequency for each individual. Thus we find Dr.Sahni’s approach has opened more avenues of research in Homoeopathy.
    With Dr.Sahni’s discovery it can also be said that he has traveled much beyond Dr.Hahnemann by expanding the scope of more research and putting Homoeopathy as Medicine for the 21st Century.

    We have pleasure in bringing to your kind notice about the research work on energy medicines of Homoeopathy. Dr.B.Sahni discovered that potentised medicine is so dynamic in nature that they can be transmitted from a distance using the natural belonging of the patient. As the efficacy of Homoeopathy is well known for so many incurable, Dr.Sahni’s mode of administration of medicine is boon to the suffering humanity. Drug Transmission from a distance discovered in early 1967 by Dr.B.Sahni is now well established and now practiced beyond doubts.
    With experimentation on various types of patient it is now proved that Homoeopathic medicines are not a commodities to be fed by mouth. They can be transmitted from any distance using the natural belonging of the person. Hair being very convenient it became the ideal medium for transmission and is being used by all. Now there are thousands of followers of Dr.Sahni who are using this unique mode of transmission.
    How it is possible to transmit the medicine energy? Different logic can be given.

We can assume that natural belonging of the person when it is separated from the body still retain the same frequency. Thus with this we can say there are as many individual wavelength of life as many of the life available in this globe. Each medicine too represents a particular type of wavelength. To the science only a few of the wavelength are discovered still more need to be discovered.
    Dr.Sahni’s Method has much potentiality of further researches. During his lifetime he established Research Institute of Sahni Drug Transmission And Homoeopathy with headquarter at Patna.
