Food For Thought
Ambika Hiranandani, Salman Shaheen & Roland Miller McCall 28 July 2009

What do George Bernard Shaw, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Leo Tolstoy, Leonardo Da
Vinci, Paul McCartney, and Pythagoras have in common? If your answer is they're
all towering figures of European culture, you're only half right. The answer is:
they've all been passionate promoters of vegetarianism. While Pythagoras dealt
with three straight lines, McCartney sang about the long and winding road.
Indeed, the effort to promote vegetarianism has been a very long and very
winding road. But with the former Beatle's initiative of meat-free Mondays, and
the Belgian town of Ghent pledging to go vegetarian one day a week to do its
share for the planet, the only direction that road is heading is forward.

While these laudable actions are finally grabbing headlines in the West, in
India vegetarianism has quietly been a way of life for centuries. But, whereas
in Europe and America vegetarianism goes hand in hand with liberalism and
progressive values, the opposite seems true in India. It is almost as if meat
eating is seen as an act of rebellion against 'orthodox' society, a sort of
status symbol drawing on western ideals. With many Indians upwardly mobile,
increase in purchasing power has seen a parallel rise in meat consumption.
Unfortunately those who have turned non-vegetarian are often unaware of the
direct causal relationship between what they eat and the poorest having nothing
to eat. Put simply, over-consumption of meat directly contributes to world
hunger.

India, where precious national parks are already under threat from illegal
cattle-grazing, is the world's eighth largest producer of meat. Despite the
sacred place cows occupy in Hindu culture, and despite the importance of
buffaloes in agricultural work, India continues to churn out an annual 4.9
million tonnes of meat. Statistics compiled by the United Nations' Food and
Agriculture Organisation (FAO) show that the total number of animals slaughtered
for meat in India nearly doubled from 66,299,600 in 1980 to 106,239,000 in 2000.
In a world increasingly facing scarcity with regard to basic human requirements,
as evidenced all too clearly in last year's global food shortages, increasing
meat production looks to be progressively unsustainable.

Rearing animals for human consumption is a grain-intensive process. According to
Kaushik Basu, professor of economics at Cornell University, as the populations
of India and China begin to consume more meat, an increasingly greater strain
will be placed on grain supplies, exacerbating world hunger. It's a point also
made very clearly by David Pimentel, professor of ecology at Cornell University:
"If all the grain currently fed to livestock in the United States were consumed
directly by people, the number of people who could be fed would be nearly 800
million."

Ksenia Glebova, a member of the Finnish Green Party turned vegetarian after
volunteering in India. "The meat industry wastes huge quantities of food and
water which are required to raise animals. Instead these resources could be used
far more efficiently and equitably," comments Globova. Her call is supported by
research from Cornell University, which reveals that for every kilogram of
grain-fed beef, 100,000 litres of water are used. This finding is nothing new to
animal rights organisations that believe alleviating the suffering of animals
also helps alleviate human suffering.

Most crucially, as governments around the world struggle to lower their
dependence on fossil fuels responsible for pumping millions of tonnes of
greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, we must also recognise the part played by
our diet. The FAO has found that global livestock production constitutes 18 per
cent of total greenhouse gas emissions. This figure is expected to more than
double by 2050, precisely because of increased meat consumption in developing
countries such as India.

"In terms of immediacy of action and the feasibility of bringing about
reductions in a short period of time, going vegetarian clearly is the most
attractive opportunity," says Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the United Nations
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

There are various compelling ethical reasons to abandon animal slaughter. The
conditions of animals in slaughterhouses are heart-wrenching. They led Bernard
Shaw to highlight the key point that slaughterhouses are kept far away from
human eyes because that makes meat much easier to digest. As Jane Goodall so
succinctly said: "Thousands of people who say they 'love' animals sit down once
or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been utterly deprived of
everything that could make their lives worth living and who endured the awful
suffering and the terror of the abattoirs."

Perhaps the next time we sit down to dinner, we should think about what we are
doing. Not just to the animals, but to the planet too. It may be a long and
winding road to a green future. But there's only one way to go.

Ayurveda drug for cancer: Experts
http://www.morungexpress.com/frontpage/27826.html
Font size:    Agencies

BHUBANESWAR, July 5 (AGENCIES): Experts in ayurveda claim to have come up with
medicines which can make life more comfortable for patients suffering from
HIV/AIDS, cancer or some physical deformity. The Central Council for Research in
Ayurveda and Siddha (CCRAS), the apex body that oversees research in ayurvedic
medicine, has developed the drugs. The council has also begun clinical trials in
different hospitals across the country.
Director General of CCRSA, G S Lavekar said, "The traditional system in
association with modern technology can do wonders in medical science. The
age-old practice has been adopted by developing countries and our medicines are
in much demand in abroad. Diseases such as HIV/AIDS, cancer and mental illness
may not be totally cured but the drugs can definitely improve the standard of
life of the patients."
Lavekar said they have the credit of obtaining as many as 22 patents including
one international patent right on drugs. "After vigorous clinical trials, seven
drugs developed by the council are in the market while seven others are on the
pipeline. These include one for HIV/AIDS, cancer, psoriasis and disabled
persons," he added. For cancer treatment, the council has developed QUOL2C drug,
which aims to increase the quality of life for those undergoing chemo and radio
therapy. Clinical trial for the drug is conducted in four major hospitals
including St John Medical College and Hospital in Bangalore, AIIMS, New Delhi
and Tata Institute of Cancer, Mumbai.  Similarly QOL2A, a medicine for HIV
infected and AIDS patients, has been launched for multi-centric clinical trials.
"We developed this medicine in association with Indian Council of Medical
Research's two frontal organizations National AIDS Research Institute (NARI) and
National Institute of Virology," he said. Ayush-Manas, a medicine for mentally
disabled people is being tested in Ram Monohar Lohia Hospital in New Delhi and
NIMHANS, Bangalore.
The council has also developed Triple 7 oil for cure of psoriasis, a chronic
skin disease, Ayush-64 for treatment of malaris, Balgutti-a tonic for children.
"These drugs are in high demand in the international market particularly in
countries like Mauritius and West Asia. The council is also working on different
metabolic diseases such as hyper-tension, stress, anxiety, fatigue and others,"
Lavekar said. The council recently signed an MoU with Utkal University for
further research in Ayurveda and Siddha under which several multi-disciplinary
projects will be taken up.

Friend: Chemo Boy Responding To Forced Treatment
SLEEPY EYE, Minn. (AP) Jun 15, 2009
http://wcco.com/health/daniel.hauser.chemotherapy.2.1044999.html

X-rays show the tumor in the chest of a 13-year-old boy from rural Minnesota has
shrunk significantly after two courses of court-ordered chemotherapy, a family
spokesman said.

However, family friend and spokesman Daniel Zwakman said the side effects of the
treatment for Hodgkin's lymphoma has left Danny Hauser weak and miserable at his
farm in Sleepy Eye.

"It affects him worse than most people," Zwakman said on Monday. It's been 11
days since his latest treatment and still "most of his day is spent on the
couch."

Danny received a single treatment of chemotherapy in February, but stopped after
enduring the harsh side effects. When Brown County authorities attempted to
compel the Hausers to treat the cancer conventionally, Danny and his mother fled
the state for about a week in May.

When they returned, a southern Minnesota court ordered them to see an
oncologist. Danny is now being treated at Children's Hospitals and Clinics in
Minneapolis.

Zwakman said Danny had treatments on May 28 and June 4. He's expected to receive
four more. The next one could be next week, but it hasn't been scheduled.

Zwakman said the teen and his family remain firmly against chemotherapy, but are
complying with the court order. "They are very adamant against having the
chemo," Zwakman said.

Despite its success at killing cancer cells, chemotherapy commonly causes nausea
and vomiting, fatigue, pain and weakness, and anxiety and depression.

Zwakman said Danny's mother has been giving him natural therapies in
consultation with Danny's oncologist. The Hausers practice alternative medicine
inspired by American Indian traditions.

No sex please, we're different

8 July:After centuries of acceptance, age-old sexual attitudes, one of
the world's oldest living civilizations, are facing different new
challenges under the impact of its rapid economic and cultural
transformation with globalization. In the 1960s, the traditional
sexual liberalism India was a source for Western free love movements.

Regular Sexual Congress May Reduces Erectile Dysfunction Risk in Older Men
http://www.theindiapost.com/?p=3092
Jul 8th, 2008 | By News Team | Category: Health

Dr. Avnish Jolly, Chandigarh:Researchers from Finland have conducted
this new study on Erectile Dysfunction (ED) risk in men and finds that
regular Sexual Congress can play a significant role in preserving
erectile function among elderly men. Regular sexual activity can help
to preserve fertility of men. The risk of erectile dysfunction was
inversely related to the frequency of intercourse. The older man may
avoid Erectile Dysfunction (ED) if they have regular sex at once a week.

The researchers have conducted a study on 989 men between 55 to 75
years for around five years. They answered a questionnaire mailed to
them. The men who returned the questionnaire five years later were
included in the study. None of them had ED at the beginning of the
study. Out of 1000 cases, 79 cases had sexual congress less than once
per week. The cases dropped to 32 for men who had sex once per week.
The number further dropped to 16 per 1000 for men who performed
intercourse 3 or more times per week. Further the men who had less
than one morning erection per week were 2.5 times more likely to get
erectile dysfunction.

There is increased risk of erectile dysfunction in men with some
serious medical condition or overweight who had sex less than once a
week. But the study had one major limitation also. The researchers did
not ask men about masturbation and other modes of sexual activity.
National Institutes of Health finds erectile dysfunction is common in
older men. Some modern medicines like Viagra can also prevent erectile
dysfunction but these medicines have some side effects.
Erectile Dysfunction (ED) can be treated according to Ayurveda and in
its pretext Tri Stamb (Three Pillars of Healthy Life) – Ahar (Diet),
Nidra (Sleep) and Bramcharya (Rights of Sexual Congress) are
foundation of Healthy Life. According to Ayurveda one can retain his
sexual health through Rich food, Sound sleep, Yoga, Rasyan (Immune
Modulators) and Vajikaran (Sexual Modulators for Men only) under the
supervision of Vaid (Doctor).  With induction of Nutritional Food,
Healthy Life Style and different Modulators in ones daily life one can
maintain longevity and healthy life. With food and sleep one can
attain physical health for spiritual and hormonal health yoga and
modulators' plays significant role in daily life.
Regular Sexual Congress also impacts the general health and quality of
life. The study is published in the July issue of The American Journal
of Medicine and Ayurveda is advocating role of sexual congress for
healthy life from last around 5000 years.

I will request liquor vend owners to relocate, says DC R K Rao

owners-to-relocate-says-DC-R-K-Rao/309381/

Updated: Wednesday, May 14, 2008 at 05:17:06

Chandigarh, May 13 The haphazard allotments of liquor vends in the
city, many in the vicinity of residential areas and educational
institutions, has attracted the ire of many but the city policy
makers say they are helpless. Even UT Deputy Commissioner R K Rao,
who is also the UT Excise and Taxation, expressed helplessness and
shirked off the responsibility when asked about the uncontrolled
mushrooming of liquor vends in the city.
Chandigarh Newsline went around various areas in the city and found
innumerable liquor vends at all possible locations next the
educational institutions, in the middle of the residential areas,
marketplaces. The city administration seems to have turned a blind
eye towards the menace though.

When given certain specific instances, particularly of liquor vends
in Mauli complex, this is what Rao had to say. "I will call the
owners of such liquor vends for talks next week and request them to
relocate the liquor vends as there has been similar complaints
earlier. But I cannot force them to do so as they had been issued
license after they followed the requisite rules."

There are around seven liquor vends in an area of around 500 meters,
stretched between Mauli Jagran and Rajiv Colony. Somewhere, liquor
vends are even located on both the sides of the road, even face to
face. Rao said that the administration can not interfere in this
matter at all as there is no such rule wherein the administration can
restrict the number of liquor vends.

"With the lapse of auctioning system of liquor vends on March 31,
2008, and introduction of licensing policy from April 1, 2008, the
licenses are issued only after certain parameters are met by the
applicants. It is entirely demand and supply policy now. If these
vends are not viable in a particular area they certainly will move
out on their own," he added.

On the similar grounds, in the same area, Rao has earlier too
requested a liquor vend owner to shift his vend, as the same was
being opened near a vocational training centre, which is under
construction for under privileged children and is being brought up by
the Chandigarh Housing Board in collaboration with the Social Welfare
Department.

The problem of liquor vends has been aggravating with new vends
opening each day in the city. This has not only given an upsurge to
the phenomenon of children getting involved in alcohol abuse but also
creating uproar in the residents who are affected by these vends
being operational right next door

Chandigarh and Child Rights
http://www.theindiapost.com/?p=1581

Posted by: Dr. Avnish Jolly on Monday, May 12th, 2008
Chandigarh,12 May:More than half of Indian children under the age of
five do not get the health care they need, according to a recent
report by Save the Children. It ranks India alongside Ghana when it
comes to providing basic health care to its children less than five
years of age.  The annual report looks at whether developing
countries are delivering health care effectively to children.

It found the Philippines was performing best with almost 69% of
children able to get access to health care.  Ethiopia ranks last -
only 16% of children under five get health care when they need it.
Although India has cut child its mortality rate by 34% since 1990,
Indian girls are 61% more likely than boys to die between the ages of
one and five. Inequity of health care among male and female children
is responsible for this situation, the report says. The report says
experts predict that over 60% of the nearly 10 million children who
die every year could be saved by delivering basic health services
through a health facility or community health worker.


Even Chandigarh - the City Beautiful with highest per capita income
and highest literacy rate has a darker side too what about rest of
the country. Recently a survey conducted on `Migration and Morbidity
Pattern among Residents in Chandigarh Slums' by the Department of
Community Medicine, PGIMR along with the Department of Science and
Technology, UT. Chandigarh, says that only 28 per cent of the migrant
population can manage basic necessities like food, shelter and
clothing.

There are 41 slums and colonies in the city, six were selected. In
these, 600 families were interviewed. Over a third of the families
had their per capita income between Rs 1,500 and Rs 2,000. Around 30
per cent had it between Rs 1,000 and Rs 1,500. As many as 135 were
families below the poverty line. The literacy rate among them was
58.6 per cent.

The study reveals that around 80 per cent of the migrants are from UP
and Bihar. Around 97 per cent of the slum migrants in Chandigarh come
from rural areas. In the total migrant population, around 68 per cent
belong to the scheduled castes, while 13.5 per cent are OBCs. Half
the households have no toilet facilities, though as an upside, around
96 per cent had access to water. The more interesting is Municipal
Corporation Chandigarh made Public Toilets in the slums and charges
one rupee per day for each member of the family. If there are six
members of the family they are paying around Rs. 200/- per month for
morning natural call.

Commonly reported problems were fever, abdominal pain, cough and
diahorrea. The commonest chronic morbidities in the group are
hypertension, followed by anaemia and TB. The number of females with
chronic morbidities was 37.4 per cent, compared to 21.7 per cent in
males. Though around 90 per cent people knew about availability of
health care services, only 78 per cent of those who fell ill utilised
them, they prefer to visit quacks and faith healers. Usually for
Jaundice they prefer treatment from Ojha (faith healer).

The great matter of concern was that the most of students going to
school is without morning meals and parents give them little money to
eat food (junk) at school canteen or food venders near school gate.
Liquor vends hardly 50 meters from the premises of Government High
School, Mauli Jagran, a slum in Chandigarh and state is not concerned
with the Child Rights. NGOs and Social Activists have reported that
students, especially boys of higher classes, are getting into alcohol
abuse as well as other abuses like smoking, tobacco chewing, fluid
sniffing etc. Think the money for food is utilize on what? Talking to
The India Post, a man working at the vend admitted that the school
students both boys and girls do come to the vend to buy alcohol
pretty often.

Mr. Ashwani Kumar, Family Planning Association of India and works for
MSM in the area, shared that the children from slum areas and those
who are involved in begging rag-picking, stealing goods, even male
commercial sex workers (what ever thy earn from these activities) are
common visitors at the liquor vend. Whatever they earn in the day,
they spend on liquor. Even the guardians gave overdose of
expectorants to children so that they complete their household
activates without any disturbance.

As per the statute, no liquor and tobacco shop is permitted in the
area of 50 meters from the main gate of a place of worship,
educational institution and a place of public entertainment according
to Law in City Beautiful., but then who cares. This is a new kind of
role of state for the welfare of the citizens and migrants live in
there own country without social security and public health support.
People also migrated to the city for better education because city
beautiful is also known as educational city. Recently the news report
about a large number of failures in a particular subject in class
VIII conducted by Chandigarh U.T. Board is a mater of grave concern.
It appears that some school teachers, who was not well-versed with
the syllabus in particular subject, was assigned to set the question
papers. This caused misery to parents.

Coordination between different organs badly needed. We need to do a
better job of reaching the poorest children with basic health
measures like vaccines, antibiotics and skilled health care providers
to protect their Child Rights.

Today's as we all are busy in our own world. Getting no time to see or
learn something new related to our work, health, family. Nature, a
word which reflects the purity, which satisfies our needs. Nature
gives us so many things, which are really helpful for us. Mamaherb
site is all about it. http://www.mamaherb.com/ contains the diseases
which we heard or some are new for us. The best part of this site is
that the treatment is all based on home remedies that we never think
off. The ingredients names are new and we get the whole information
about it, and also other uses of it. The incurable diseases remedies
are also given in this like cancer, goiter, skin, baldness, eyesight,
related to brain  and many more and by using the simple home available
products, we get relieved from the disease. It also includes the way
of taking the dose.

When I go through this site, I find details about each disease along
with its cure and the ingredients used are mostly present at our home.
We sometimes ignore our health and avoid going to the doctor. But,
once you visit the site, you really find so many treatments for one
particular disease and there is no harm by taking these home remedies.
The remedies are simple and very effective to use. Natural treatment
treats diseases which have no cure in conventional treatment, it has
less side effects and the cure is more permanent in the sense that
there are less incidence of relapses.

Chandigarh: The report of exploitation of HIV positive
women by healthcare providers rocked the country’s
premier Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education
and Research (PGIMER). In a swift reaction to the
expose, authorities at PGIMER terminated the service
of one of the persons found involved after an internal
inquiry.
    While informing that an inquiry was on to track
down all the accused, Dr S Prabhakar, HOD, neurology
department said, ‘‘We have asked a person associated
with research project to leave.’’ A Delhi-based
tabloid, quoting female victims, said that some
technicians and healthcare providers, including
counsellors abused HIV positive women in lieu of
providing them medicine and assisting them in the
hospital.
    Investigations by TOI seemed to hint at a nexus of
healthcare workers with pimps to exploit these women
who were vulnerable because they lacked support from
their families and were emotionally starved after
acquiring the infection. A victim revealed that a
healthcare worker had a physical relationship with her
using a condom. ‘‘He later asked me to arrange for
girls for his friends.’’
    Another shocking revelation by sources was that
some HIV positive men-having-sex-with-men (MSM) were
being abused in the tricity by the police. Angry about
his exploitation, an MSM, picked up by a policeman and
taken to the outskirts of the city for a physical
relationship, said, “I did not tell him that I was HIV
positive. Let him pay for his misdeed.
    Alarmed at such reports, P Kaushalya, president,
Positive Women Network, India, said, ‘‘It is a serious
issue. We plan to send a team of counsellors to
Chandigarh to motivate victims to come out in the open
and register cases against the accused.’’ While
informing that similar cases poured in from other
states, she said, ‘‘Very often, such women who are
exploited by healthcare workers do not muster courage
to stand up against injustice.’’
    Stating that some instances of harassment were
reported during an independent study, carried out on
HIV positive people, along with social activist Dr
Avnish Jolly, Dr Upneet Lali, deputy director,
correctional administration, Chandigarh said, ‘‘Some
women indicated that the environment for counselling
should be congenial, but they never said anything
about physical abuse.’’

Yoghurt good for people living with AIDS
http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/goodhealth/2007/dec/04/
goodhealth-04-12-2007-001.htm

By ROSE EJEMBI, Makurdi
Tuesday, December 4, 2007

Truly, Asiwaju Isaac Akinkunmi is not a doctor. He is not even a
scientist – perhaps by conventional definition. At best, you can call
him a researcher or a reporter who has merely applied investigative
journalism, coupled with over 20 years experience in the food
industry, 80 per cent of which is spent and still being spent in the
dairy industry to delve into what experts have discovered about
yoghurt.

In this presentation, the Managing Director and Chief Executive
Officer (MD/CEO) of Tito Group of Companies put paid to the
insinuation that milk or yoghurt makes one fat.

Milk or yoghurt does not make one fat. Before answering this
question, permit me to digress a little to correct a popular dogma
that yoghurt makes you fat. This is a fallacy. Yoghurt or indeed,
milk does exactly the opposite. You can gain weight by abstaining
from it and shed it by including it in your diet. As reported, in the
July 2002 edition of Readers Digest, Zamel, a renowned researcher on
yoghurt discovered that yoghurt actually slims one down through the
activity of calcium, which is richly contained in milk. This is how
it works. Calcium has inhibitory effect on fat cells. When the level
of calcium in the blood is high, the fat cells are inhibited from
storing calories; instead they start burning off fat. The interesting
thing in this discovery is that as far as weight loss is concerned,
it does not matter whether the milk or yoghurt is full cream.

However, taking yoghurt made from skimmed or partially skimmed milk
would have an even greater effect on weight reduction. We can,
therefore, say more yoghurt makes for more calcium and more calcium
makes for less fat cells and less fat cells make for less fat people.
This is not, however, to say weight watchers should embark on yoghurt
diet only. For quick result, it must be backed up with some physical
exercises and abstinence from some kinds of foods. Permit me to
borrow from mathematical equations to propound without any fear of
equivocation that yoghurt + exercise – some kinds of foods = weight
loss. Y + E + S = WL where S stand for other kinds of fatty foods.

Let us leave Zamel, the researcher alone and come back home to
question the veracity of this question. Let us look at our own local
Fulanis. These people, though unschooled, perhaps form one of the
most healthy tribes in Nigeria . They are generally slim, healthy and
robust looking people.

Three things we believe were responsible for this. One, their diet,
like the Maasias of east Africa is 70 per cent combination of
fermented milk (defatted) and fresh milk.

Two, though the main source of cows and meat to Nigerians, their
regular meals contain no meat. Read meat, a great source of bad
cholesterol is, therefore, eliminated from their diets.

Three, another likely cause for this healthy living is that the
Fulanis are great trekkers, covering between five and 10 kilometers
daily to hawk milk or graze. A lot of fat is burnt by this life style.

Their infants, unlike infants of other Nigerian tribes in their level
of income, are generally healthy looking. Robust and only comparable
to infants on baby friendly-feeding and the Fulanis do not know this
concept neither do they know vitamins or nutritional supplements.
Their old men and women are equally agile and seem to age in reverse
when compared with their town dweller age groups who scarcely have
yoghurt in their diets. This made us to propound this hypothesis and
we invite you to join us to prove it that `the bush Fulanis live
healthier lives, live longer and many times less likely to suffer
osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes, stroke, or other forms of
cardiovascular diseases and a breakdown of immune functions than
other Nigerian tribes.

Antibiotic induced diarrhea?
Let us put in focus the place of probiotic yoghurt in antibiotic-
induced diarrhea. To forge ahead, we shall now define yoghurt and
more appropriately probiotic.

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines yoghurt as coagulated
milk product, produced by means of specific micro-organisms. The
fermentation process in probiotic yoghurt produces billions of
friendly bacteria that are antagonistic to a wide range of pathogens
especially in the gut.

Probiotic yoghurt is produced by the marriage of bacteria to milk. It
is manufacturered by lactic-acid fermentation through the activities
of lactobacillus bulgaricus, streptococcus thermophilis,
bifidobacterium and lactobacillus acidophilus.

What has this got to do with antibiotic-induced diarrhea?
To do justice to this question and to see the place of probiotic
yoghurt as remedy, we should first put into perspective the Gastro
Intestinal Tract (GIT) of Humans. The Gastro Intestinal Tract (GIT)
is the primary interface between food consumed and humans. According
to Chr. Hansen LAB, world largest producers of friendly bacteria and
culture partners to Tito yoghurt, the GIT of an adult human contains
over 100 trillion micro-organisms. That's over 1000 times the
population of man on the face of the earth. They are made up of over
400 different species, which, according to Rebecca Wood, writing for
Mail Tribune in India, weighs about two pounds. This complex micro-
flora exists as a delicate balance of beneficial and potentially
harmful organisms. This makes up the intestinal micro-flora and it is
the seat of the immune system working to metabolize or anabolism the
food we eat to give us the fuel needed to do our daily activates or
build tissues.

A well-balanced intestinal flora is, therefore, the beginning of good
health. It is involved in one's nutritional status, and affects aging
and immune system function. A balanced intestinal micro-flora is one
in which a healthy balance is maintained between the friendly and the
harmful bacteria in the gut.

What are probiotics?
We shall answer this question in the Nigerian way by asking another
question. What are antibiotics?
Ian Morgan, General Manager of Chris Hansen, said recently in Chris
Hansen News letter that probiotics literarily means `for life' and it
is the opposite of antibiotics. Antibiotics are drugs doctors
prescribe to kill bacteria after they have caused infection.
Probiotics, on the other hand, are not drugs but specially engineered
foods that friendly, healthy bacteria are deliberately introduced to
fight harmful bacteria before they settle down in your system to
cause harm.

Probiotics and HIV positives
Probiotic yoghurt is an excellent addition to the meals of people
living with HIV Good intestinal micro-flora and its positive effect:
By maintaining a well balanced intestinal flora, foods taken are well
metabolized to ensure good nutritional status and drugs taken have
fertile grounds to perform the jobs they are sent for. This delays
the unset and progression of AIDS. Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) must
be backed by good nutrition to succeed.

The effect of friendly bacteria:
The inhibitory effects of friendly bacteria in probiotic yoghurt
especially the activities of lactobacillus acidophilus on pathogens
can prevent numerous opportunities infections from taking hold as
explain earlier.

Omega 3 fatty acid and calcium:
Probiotic yoghurt is a high protein diet as a milk product with high
reputation for rich natural calcium which is important to build
muscles, bone mass and tissues lost by repeated infections. As a
fermented product, it generates new nutrients including omega 3 fatty
acids. This delays the unset and progression of AIDS.
Well tolerated: As a fermented milk product, it is well tolerated
even by people allergic to milk. I mean people who are lactose
intolerant. Fermentation breaks down the lactose to lactic-acid which
is metabolically acceptable to people of all ages. ART may not work
in the same way for all people but good nutrition will.

Other clinical values of probiotic yoghurt
Probiotic yoghurt has many other clinical values, too numerous to
mention in this paper. They include inhibitory effects on tumor
especially colon cancer. Others include diarrhea prevention.
Michael T. Murray, writing in Encyclopedia of nutritional
supplements, recommends acidophilus supplementation as important for
preventing and treating antibiotic induced diarrhea, candida
overgrowth, and urinary tract infection. It can correct the increase
of gram-negative bacteria observed following administration of broad
spectrum antibiotics. It equally inhibits the lowering of fecal flora
induced by ampicillin. A dosage of between 15 and 20 billion
organisms, he said, is required. And this should continue long after
the antibiotic therapy is discontinued.
