SEXUAL POWER ; Confirmation of Sexual Power intensity of a Human being by Electro Tridosha Graphy ; ETG AyurvedaScan system
Many persons are willing to know the intensity of their SEXUAL POWER by any source. Till today no machine and mechanical parameters are available to establish sexual power by any technology.
But it is possible today and sexual power can be measured by mechanical means. By virtue of Electro Tridosha Graphy ; ETG AyurvedaScan system, now it is possible to establish the SEXUAL POWER of any human being in measured intensity.
The ETG system measures many parameters systemwise, sectorwise, traces wise, ayurvedic fundamental-wise and so on . PROSTATE health condition is scanned by ETG system. So is of the SAPTA dhatu. The SAPTA DHATU of Ayurveda is considered , similar to PATHOLOGY of Modern western medicine. Intensity of Prostate value shows the Sexual Power intensity of a human being, how is the person’s sexual drive. One of the Sapta Dhatu SHUKRA is evaluated and this shows the Quality and quantity…

Ayurveda Herbs : Medicinal uses of Turmeric
http://www.slideshare.net/drdbbajpai/ayurveda-herbs-medicinal-uses-of-turmeric?from_search=2
………………
Composition
Turmeric contains up to 5% essential oils and curcumin of about three percent by weight, a polyphenol. Curcumin is the active substance of turmeric and curcumin is known as C.I. 75300, or Natural Yellow 3. The systematic chemical name is (1E,6E)-1,7-bis(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,6-heptadiene-3,5-dione.
It can exist at least in two tautomeric forms, keto and enol. Curcumin is a pH indicator. In acidic solutions (pH <7.4) it turns yellow, whereas in basic (pH > 8.6) solutions it turns bright red.
New late-stage data on Boehringer Ingelheim’s lung cancer drug nintedanib and its benefit to overall survival in some patients has caused a stir at the American Society of Clinical Oncology meeting in Chicago.
nintedanib
The German drugmaker presented results from the LUME-Lung 1 Phase III trial looking at the addition of nintedanib, to docetaxel as a second-line treatment in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared to chemotherapy alone.

TESARO and the European Network of Gynecological Oncological Trial Groups (ENGOT) Forge Partnership to Develop Niraparib for Ovarian Cancer
June 3, 2013 — TESARO, Inc. an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical company, and the European Network of Gynecological Oncological Trial Groups (ENGOT), a network of national and regional clinical trial organizations, today announced a partnership for the Phase 3 clinical development of niraparib, an orally active, potent poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor.

MK-4827:
MK-4827 is a potent, Selective, PARP 1/2 inhibitor with IC50 of 3.8 and 2.1 nM for PARP1 and 2, respectively. MK-4827 possesses potential Antineoplastic Activity. In a Whole Cell assay, MK -4827 prevented PARP activity with an EC50 of 4 nM, enhancing the accumulation of DNA strand breaks and promoting genomic instability and apoptosis. MK-4827 induces selective synthetic lethality in homologous recombination (HR) repair deficient tumors with BRCA1 / 2 loss and tumor cell lines with non-BRCA-related HR defects, supporting clinical utility in sporadic tumors. MK-4827 reveals good pharmacokinetic properties and is currently in phase I clin. trials. The phase I clinical trials for MK-4827 is ongoing in the treatment of solid tumors.

(–)-18-Methoxycoronaridine (18-MC)
A compound found in the bark of an African bush may hold clues to the development of drugs for reversing a host of addictive behaviours from drug and alcohol abuse and even smoking and compulsive over-eating, scientists reported at the BIO convention in Chicago, US, in April 2013.

(–)-18-Methoxycoronaridine (18-MC) is a derivative of ibogaine invented in 1996 by the research team around the pharmacologist Stanley D. Glick from the Albany Medical College and the chemist Martin E. Kuehne from the University of Vermont. In animal studies it has proved to be effective at reducing self-administration of morphine, cocaine, methamphetamine, nicotine and sucrose. 18-MC is a selective α3β4 nicotinic antagonist and, in contrast to ibogaine, has no affinity at the α4β2 subtype nor at NMDA-channels nor at the serotonin transporter, and has significantly reduced affinity for sodium channels and for the σ receptor, but retains modest affinity for the μ and κ opioid receptors. The sites of action in the brain include the medial habenula, interpeduncular nucleus, dorsolateral tegmentum and basolateral amygdala. It has also been shown to produce anorectic effects in obese rats, most likely due to the same actions on the reward system which underlie its anti-addictive effects against drug addiction.
18-MC has not yet been tested in humans. In 2002 the research team started trying to raise funds for human trials, but were unable to secure the estimated $5 million needed. Efforts to raise funds for future trials are still ongoing. In January 2010, Obiter Research, a chemical manufacturer in Champaign, Illinois, signed a patent license with Albany Medical College and the University of Vermont allowing them the right to synthesize and market 18-MC and other congeners.
A number of derivatives of 18-MC have also been developed, with several of them being superior to 18-MC itself, the methoxyethyl congener ME-18-MC being more potent than 18-MC but with similar efficacy, and the methylamino analogue 18-MAC being more effective than 18-MC but with around the same potency. These compounds were also found to act as selective α3β4 nicotinic acetylcholine antagonists, with little or no effect on NMDA receptors.

Impotence: When You Can’t Get It Up is Getting You Down
Probably nothing devastates a man more than having a failure in the bedroom. Impotence or erectile dysfunction affects nearly 33 million men in the United States. You are not alone. Help is available for nearly every man who has erectile dysfunction.
Diet
According to the Urology Channel’s “Erectile Dysfunction: Natural/Alternative Treatments,” erectile dysfunction can be treated by eating right, drinking plenty of water and avoiding sugar, dairy and caffeine. They recommend to eat whole, fresh, unrefined and unprocessed foods, including vegetables, whole grains, soy, beans, seeds, nuts, olive oil and cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna.
Taking your vitamins can also help; the Urology Channel suggests supplements such as flaxseed, and in particular vitamins C, E and the mineral zinc. These vitamins and supplements help bolster the vascular system, which is an important part of good sexual health.
Exercise
Since sexual health relies on the vascular system, a strong heart…

Ayurvedic Management of Chronic Colds, Flu, Ear Nose & Throat Problems
This protocol assumes that you do not have access to Ayurvedic clinical treatments. Please also note that this article may be too complex for the general public. If you have studied Ayurveda, you will be more familiar with the terms and basic concepts.
The main treatments are dietary, lifestyle and herbal. Treatment should begin with Langhana (reducing) then move towards Brimhana (nourishing).
FOUNDATION (DOSHA/AGNI/AMA)
#1 Balance the Doshas
Reduce causal Dosha accumulation in inner pathway + reduce/balance Bodaka/Avalabbaka.
Start with diet & lifestyle.
Dietshould have most offending Kapha aggravating foods removed but also adapt to causal Dosha if it is not Kapha.
- All animal and dairy foods should be stopped along with wheat and all sweeteners.
- Any Ama forming food should be avoided.
- Eat lightly. Fast if possible (if not too weak), otherwise cooked whole grains and steamed vegetables with spices is perfect.
- Foods that are helpful: Cabbage, Garlic…

Joint Pain: Medicine Kit of the Lower Pecos, Part II
Human beings have been plagued with joint pain throughout the history of mankind. Arthritis, the condition caused by the wearing down of beneficial cartilage in the joints, affects over 27 million people in the United States today, according to the Arthritis Foundation
(www.arthritistoday.org). I don’t know enough about the skeletal evidence from the Lower Pecos of Texas to do more than speculate, but at least some people in the region 4000-6000 years ago must have worn out a knee or two climbing up and down steep canyons and running over rough stone outcroppings in the uplands. In other words, they probably had their share of “archaic arthritis.”
Ow! Even that phrase hurts! Osteoarthritis produces stinging pain and can cause swelling and stiffness in the joints affected. Generally, the older you are, the more wear and tear you have on your joints. A stiff knee could make a thirty-year-old adult from the archaic period feel…
