MULTIPLE BIRTH OF SEPTUPLETS


I happened to stumble down at Yahoo news this morning and a very astonishing news report caught my eye. A 27-year-old Egyptian woman, named Ghazala Khami, gave birth to septuplets, four boys and three girls through ceasarean operation at el-Shatbi hospital of Alexandria, Egypt.

The Director of the hospital, Emad Darwish said that the babies weigh between 3.2 pounds and 6.17 pounds with no deformities or incomplete organs and are in stable condition. They will be placed in an incubators in four different hospitals as special premature newborn babies.

Just try to imagine what a wonderful blessing the Egyptian couple has. A desire of a woman to have a son despite of their three daughters, took fertility drugs hoping to give birth of a baby boy. As a result, instead of giving a single birth, it becomes a multiple birth.

In my entire life, I haven't heard this kind of pregnancy giving birth of multiple babies. I've only witnessed quintuplets during my high school days when our neighbor gave birth to four boys.

Good enough, she delivered her babies at home through normal delivery. She was never brought to the hospital. The entire neighborhood went immediately to her house upon knowing the incident. They were happy watching the four babies with mixed emotions, feared of what may happen since her husband was not around who was working at the nearby province. The local government immediately extended an assistance to the mother and to her quintuplets with close supervision by the Department of Social Welfare while the babies were still in their infancy stage of development.


Probably, this kind of birth is a gift to anybody with strong belief of what they perceive and might be advantageous to the many while disadvantageous to few.

TIBICOS MUSHROOM ALSO KNOWN AS WATER KEFIR



I found Tibicos Mushroom or Water Kefir Crystal to be beneficial to our health as it contain a healing benefits. Not only that, if it is beneficial to human it is also useful to plants. That's why, I retained Tibicos Mushroom or Water Kefir Crystal in my possession.

MORE ON BRAZILIAN BERRY (ACAI)

The Acai berry (pronounced as ah-SHA'-ee) which is 90% nut cannot be eaten raw and more abundant in Amazon forest however, it also prosper in a swampy or floodplain areas. It is a palm-bearing fruit that stands approximately 30-50 meters tall and its leaves up to 3 meters long. Its fruit size is just similar to grape that grows in its palms to 700-900 berries.

Its nutritional benefits are: it is very rich in antioxidants, which is richer than grapes, guava and mangoes, fiber, essential fatty acids specifically monounsaturated oleic acid which can be found also in fish oils, proteins, amino acids, phytosterols, anthocyanin and some other nutritional benefits. It is effective in cancer, obesity, athritis, diabetes, ache and pains, anti-aging, heart disease, blood clotting, digestive problem and many many more. It's dark purple skin is made into pulp which is found most beneficial where Brazilian natives used this pulp as a puree or a supplement than milk.

Recent study in the University of Florida reveals that six different chemical extracts were made from acai fruit pulp, and each extract was prepared in seven concentrations. Four of the extracts were shown to kill significant numbers of leukemia cells when applied for 24 hours. Depending on the extract and concentration, anywhere from about 35 percent to 86 percent of the cancer cells died.

Since, Acai berry is perishable and are traditionally used after picking, it is recommended to have it grown in your area. Other experts called this fruit as a "super food" because of its optimum benefits. Five servings a day gains optimum health.

I wish I could found this plant and make it grown in my area.

BRAZILIAN BERRY (ACAI) DESTROYS CANCER CELLS






This is another good news to the public. Recently, study reveals that Brazilian (Acai) berry is beneficial to our health. Read more about the story.

GAINSVILLE, Fla. - A Brazilian berry in health food contains antioxidants that destroyed human cancer cells in a recent University of Florida study, one of the first to investigate the fruit's purported benefits.

Published today in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Industry, the study showed extracts from acai (ah-SAH'-ee) berries triggered a selft-destruct response in up to 86 percent of leukemia cells tested, said Stephen Talcott, an Assistant Professor with UF's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.

"Acai berries are already considered one of the fruit sources of antioxidants, Talcott said. This study was an important step toward learning what people may gain from using beverages, dietary supplements or other products made by the berries."

He cautioned that the study, funded by UF forces, was not intended to show whether compounds found in acai berries could prevent leukemia in people.

"This was only a cell-culture model and we don't want to give anyone false hope, Talcott said." "We are encouraged by the findings, however, compounds that show good activity against cancer cells in a model system are mostly likely to have beneficial effects in our bodies."

Other fruits, including, grapes, guavas and mangoes, contain antioxidants shown to kill cancer cells in similar studies, he said. Experts are uncertain how much effect antioxidants have on cancer cells in the human body, because factors such as nutrients absorption, metabolism and the influence other biochemical processes may influence the antioxidants' chemical activity.

Another UF study, slated to conclude in 2006, will investigate the effects of acai's antioxidants in healthy human subjects, Talcott said. The study will determine how well the compounds are absorbed into the blood and how they may affect blood pressure, cholesterol levels and related health indicators. So far, only fundamental research has been done on acai berries, which contain at least 50 to 75 as-yet unidentified compounds.

"One reason so little is known about acai berries is that they're perishable and are traditionally used immediately after picking, he said." "Products made with processed acai berries have only been available for about five years, so researchers in many parts of the world have had little or no opportunity to study them."

Talcott said that UF is one of the first institutions outside Brazil with personnel studying acai berries. Besides Talcott, UF's acai research team includes Susan Percival, Professor with the Food Science and Human Nutrition Department, David Del Pozo-Insfran, doctoral student with the department and Susanne Mertens-Talcott, postdoctoral associate with the Pharmaceutics Department of UF's College of Pharmacy.

Acai berries are produced by a palm tree known scientifically as Euterpe Oleracea, common in floodplain areas of the Amazon river, Talcott said. When ripe, the berries are dark purple and about the size of a blueberry. They contain a thin layer of edible pulp surrounding surrounding a large seed.

Historically, Brazilians have used acai berries to treat disgestive disorders and skin conditions, he said. Current marketing efforts by retail merchants and internet businesses suggest acai products can help consumers lose weight, lower cholesterol and gain energy.

A lot of claims are being made but most of them haven't been tested scientifically, Talcott said. "We are just beginning to understand the complexity of acai berry and its health promoting effects."

In the current UF study, six different chemical extracts were made from acai fruit pulp, and each extract was prepared in seven concentrations.

Four of the extracts were shown to kill significant numbers of leukemia cells when applied for 24 hours. Depending on the extract and concentration, anywhere from about 35 percent to 86 percent of the cells died.

The UF study demonstrates that research in foods not commonly consumed in the United States is important, because it may lead to unexpected discoveries, said Joshua Bomser, an Assistant Professor of Molecular Nutrition and Functional Foods, at The Ohio University in Columbus, Ohio.

But familiar produce items have plenty of health-giving qualities, he said. "Increased consumption of fruits and vegetables is associated with decreased risk for many diseases, including heart disease and cancer," said Bomser, who researches the effects of diet and chronic diseases. "Getting at least five servings a day of these items is still a good recommendation for promoting optimal health."

MALE SEXUAL ORGAN



Study reveals that the erectile normal size of a male sexual organ is 6 to 7 inches long or 5 cm plus. In excess of that said penile size is artificially exploited while small size is normal unless there having a Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).

The concept of Small Penile Syndrome is an anxiety among males being feared that they could not satisfy a woman during sexual intercourse because of the small penile size.


During sexual obsession or during sexual intercourse the erectile of the penis is more aroused when both are expressing their desire to satisfy their selves it may be a small or a large penis. Just fill in and concentrate on the area where there are maximum nerve endings which is in the inner and outer lips (Labia Minora and Labia Majora).

Although some women, harbor the myth of a man with a large penis to satisfy their sexual needs than small one yet, penile size is unimportant to people who does sex expressed with love and respect where satisfaction is always there.
