Hi I recently tried Sudarshan Kriya and experienced numbness, extreme lightheadedness and headache. I did some research and it says that it is hyperventilation. Is it dangerous to practice? does it cause brain damage?
Answer:
SUDARSHAN KRIYA is a safe technic and it is harmless in any manner. I feel you might not have followed to instructions or as thought in the classes. You should not do it all of a suddent fully and step by step increase has to be done. I am doing it and it is good.
Or you may be having some other physical problem. I suggest you to suspend it for some time and consult your physician or the instructor of Art of Living course. On taking their advice you can continue it. PLEASE DO NOT DO ANY RESEARCH YOURSELF and please follow the instructions.
It will not cause any damage to brain.
Now about SUDARSHAN KRIYA-
Sudarshan Kriya is a unique rhythmical breathing process that is said to have been revealed to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar during a spell of silent meditation that he had gone into for 10 days in 1982. The theory is that the kriya allows a healthy and pleasant mind to produce chemical messengers, which travel from the nervous system to the immune system, resulting in the overall betterment of both body and mind.
This kriya, as done at the Art of Living workshops, involves regulating one's breath to the sounds of So-hum ('So' for inhale and 'hum' for exhale)coming from the tape recorder in Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's voice. The entire kriya involves 3 rounds with each round having 20-40-40 of long, medium and short 'So' breaths respectively. The intensity of 'Hum' exhalation remains the same throughout the kriya.-

Is steam cell research a good or bad thing and why?
Answer:
Through careful work, adult stem cells could be used to repair a damaged brain or heart, rebuild a knee, restore injured nervous system connections
The great advantage of embryonic stem cells is that they can differentiate into 210 different types of tissue.
Heart Disease - German heart specialist Bodo Eckehard Strauer successfully treated a heart patient, using stem cells from the man鈥檚 bone marrow. Dr. Stauer said, "Even patients with the most seriously damaged hearts can be treated with their own stem cells instead of waiting and hoping on a transplant" ("Stem cell therapy repairs a heart," London Daily Telegraph, August 25, 2001).
Heart Disease - "Four out of five seriously sick Brazilian heart-failure patients no longer needed a heart transplant after being treated with their own stem cells" ("Stem cells used to repair heart tissue," MSNBC News, September 8, 2003).
Sickle Cell Anemia - CBS鈥?60 Minutes II reported on 15-year-old Keone Penn, whose physicians at the University of Pittsburgh say was healed of sickle cell anemia with an injection of stem cells from umbilical cord blood. According the report, "the stem cells changed his entire blood system from type O to type B" and eliminated the sickle cell problem ("Stem cells from umbilical cord blood used to save a boy鈥檚 life," CBS broadcast transcript, November 28, 2001).
Acute Myeloid Leukemia - Sixteen-year-old Nathan Salley told a U.S. Congressional subcommittee how stem cells from umbilical cord blood saved his life ("Teenager testifies he鈥檚 鈥榣iving proof鈥?of stem-cell option," Denver Post, July 22, 2001).
Multiple Sclerosis - Thirty-six-year-old Susan Stross is one of more than 20 MS patients whose conditions have remained steady or improved after receiving an adult stem cell transplant. The same results are reported with several hundred patients worldwide ("Already saving lives, stem cell research may soon be in full swing," Seattle Times, August 20, 2001).
Non-Hodgkin鈥檚 Lymphoma - Forty-year-old Mark Fulford was not able to receive a bone marrow transplant; so doctors used stem cells from umbilical cord blood ("Different kind of stem cell already saving lives," Denver Rocky Mountain News, August 18, 2001).
Parkinson鈥檚 Disease - "Jefferson researchers have early evidence of bone marrow stem cells able to become brain cells" (Thomas Jefferson University news release, November 12, 2001).
Improved Stroke Recovery - "Cells from the blood of an umbilical cord help rats recover from stroke faster, new study finds" (University of South Florida Health Sciences Center News Release, November 8, 2001).
Blood Stem Cell Transplant - "Transplantation: Surgical team uses standard stem cell procedure in unique way for kidney recipient" (Blood Weekly, March 7, 2002).
In a breakthrough trial, 15 young patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes were given drugs to suppress their immune systems followed by transfusions of stem cells drawn from their own blood.
All but two of the volunteers in the trial, details of which are published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), do not need daily insulin injections up to three years after stopping their treatment regimes.
The negatives are the ethical, moral %26 legal use of embryonic stem cells.
38 states recognize that life begins at conception and 25 states already regulate embryo and fetal esearch. Ten states ban harmful embryonic research altogether. Louisiana designates IVF [in vitro fertilization] derived embryos as judicial [legally recognized] persons. Maine, Michigan, and Massachusetts impose up to five years of imprisonment for harmful research on live embryos or fetuses.
Five states restrict the sale of embryos, five more restrict sale for research, and eight others prohibit sale for any reason. Some of these laws might have changed as this is old research.
What do you think is this a good thing.
From everything that I have read it seems that this might be as close to a miracule cure as has ever been.
Is selling needles OTC for drug use OK?
Think seriously about it. I work in a pharmacy and had someone with no teeth and a dirty look ask to buy a ten pack of 100cc insulin syringes. I actually had one (its frikkin huge) and showed it to him to explain that I know it isn't what he's looking for. I already know what he's going to use the needles for, but I ask him anyway and he says, "Well, dope. I just don't want to share dirty needles with me and everyone else."
I won't say if I sold them or not because I'll get criticized by the public either way, but I would like to know what you all think about it.
Should I have sold the correct needles (100 unit) to him or should I have turned him away?
Answer:
There is no prescription required to purchase needles. Given that the individual will acquire the drugs without your help, you are not enabling him. Selling him the needles can only help to try to keep him disease free. From an ethical standpoint, you are not violating any laws, inducing anyone into illegal activity, and only providing a service that will help safeguard his health, and potentially others.
I would say sell the needles.

Is sea life (fish, shrimp, crab, etc) easier to digest than land animals?
I have cut down on eating land animals because I feel it is too hard to digest, and that energy could be used to heal other parts of my body. Is this true?
Answer:
Fish is usually easier to digest if it is not prepared with alot of oils and breading. Shellfish may or may not be according to your digestive system. Some people are allergic to them and cannot digest them at all. Shellfish tend to be high in cholesterol. Try different types of fish and then a few shellfish at a time to see how your body does. Think about other sources of protein such as soy, milk products, eggs, grains , nuts and legumes.

Answer:
Ritalin is not currently banned in competitions so she should be fine to continue taking it and compete. If you need to seek advice about her skipping a dose then you could speak to a Pharmacist at a chemist or maybe phone NHS Direct?

Is Red Wine really good for you? Or will any alcohol do the trick?
It is a widely held view that one or two standard drinks per day is good for one's health.
It has also been a popular idea that red wine is the best for this.
Do you believe this, or will any alcohol in the form or 1-2 standard drinks do the job?
Answer:
Red wine is said to contain polyphenols and resveratrols which gives benefits. Flavonoids and tannins contained in the wine is also said to be beneficial however the studies seem to be more in favor of red wine to gain more benefits.

Is QALY a scam ?
Imagine I am in the job of building housing for people.
I build some housing in unpleasant areas (near swamps with mosquitos).
People then ask for better fittings - locks on doors, etc, saying there are defects.
I argue that what I am providing is "quality adjusted". That quality of life is low near the swamp, therefore the housing does not merit high-quality fittings.
Answer:
It's a scam if you're charging people for things that you're not providing. If these people understand before signing a contract that the home has been "quality adjusted" (weasel words, but that's another matter), and you give them exactly what you promised to do, then it's their own fault. If, however, you either do not adequately explain what they're getting, or fail to provide everything that you promised, or charge exorbitant prices, then you're at fault.
