Ghaṇṭā (Sanskrit: घण्टा: ghaṇṭā; དྲིལ་བུ་: drilbu) is the Sanskrit term for a ritual bell used in Hinduistic religious practices. The ringing of the bell produces what is regarded as an auspicious sound. हिंदू मंदिरों Hindu temples or मंदिर mandir (मंदिर, Mandira = „Haus), symbolic houses, seats and body of divinity, generally have one metal bell hanging at the entrance and devotees ring the bell while entering the temple which is an essential part of the preparation of having दर्शन, a darshan (दर्शन, lit. view, sight, from Sanskrit दर्शन, from dṛś, "to see", vision, apparition or glimpse). A bell is also rung by priests during पूजा Pūjā or यज्ञ: Yajñá – during आरती the waving of light (Ārtī or āratī: आरती is derived from the Sanskrit word आरात्रिक: ārātrika which means something that removes रात्रि • (rā́tri) night, rātrī, darkness, or light waved in darkness before an icon). A Marathi language reference says it is also known as महानीराञ्जना Mahānīrāñjanā), धुप, Dhupa, burning of incense in front of the deity, while bathing the deity and while नैवेद्य Naivedya, offering food or पुष्पा flowers. There are bells specially made to produce the long strains of the sound ॐ, Om̐, ओ३म्, Aum.

Global Burden of Dis-Ease

It is getting harder to be healthy. Why?

Body Pollution

We rely on air, water and food to sustain ourselves.

The quality of our air, water and food has changed.

We do not notice when we consume a pollutant here or an additive there—they don’t seem to harm us.

Eventually, however, the pollutants and additives along with stress add up—to the point where we get sick.

Here are a few of the reasons:

The average person still thinks about chemicals as single entities and our system of federal regulation still decides on a case-by-case basis whether chemicals are safe enough to circulate in our world. But a paradigm shift is underway among some scientists, who have over the last 30 years quietly begun to wonder: By introducing so many substances that did not evolve along with living organisms over hundreds of millions of years, have we unwittingly initiated changes in our biology that may be damaging it profoundly?

Air: We might as well all call ourselves “smokers.” As a result of deforestation and industrialization, the air we breathe today has a mixture of thousands of different toxins in it. Not only that, but the air has about 30% less oxygen than we enjoyed 200 years ago. One source put it another way, the amount of CO2 in our air is increasing by 6.6 billion tons per year. The fallout from nuclear testing and nuclear accidents like Chernobyl and the smoke and particles released from massive fires like the oil fields in Kuwait etc all pollute our air.

Air pollution effects are many, and they may be really harmful.

Even low levels of air pollution can stress our hearts

Chronic Traffic-Related Air Pollution and Stress Interact to Predict Biologic and Clinical Outcomes in Asthma

We all inhale the air surrounding this planet. Evidence of our air pollution is found even in pristine areas in the far north. As glaciers recede, tests on recently exposed soil indicate industrialized pollutants.

As individuals, we add to the mix with our automobile and lawnmower exhaust. So even though we don’t roll our air into cigarettes, we do inhale it.

Hundreds of man-made chemicals--in our air, our water, and our food--could be damaging the most basic building blocks of human development

Chemical manufacturers have worked hard to counter this academic research, hiring chemists to study and discredit the results. Vom Saal and others have had to spend enormous amounts of time and money defending their work, resources better devoted to moving forward onto new ground. Researchers funded by industry, curiously, tend to find that every chemical is safe. In 2004, vom Saal tallied up results of all the studies he could find on BPA. He discovered that of 104 studies done by independent researchers, 94 found adverse effects and 10 found no effects. Of the 11 studies conducted by industry-supported researchers, zero identified adverse effects. Marian Stanley, a spokesperson for the American Chemical Council, which represents the interests of chemical manufacturers, says, "We are unaware of any big discrepancies between the experimental research supported by industry and by others. Animal studies--that is, credible experimental research--from all sectors show basically the same results across the board."

Water: Chemical fertilizers and pesticides leached from our soils often find their way to our drinking water. In addition, heavy metals from industry may contaminate both our ground and surface water. The relatively stagnant nature of our water delivery systems encourages the growth of microbes. Then we add toxic chemicals like chlorine or chloramine to this soup… We call it drinking water!

Various pollutants, additives, heavy metals, and preservatives have a synergistic effect once ...inside the body.

The synergistic (in combination) effects with other contaminants already in the environment and our bodies (such as lead, mercury and chlorine) have not been measured, though the prognosis is not good, as combinations with other metals in particularly seem to increase its derogatory effects. Other studies have shown that fluoride, administered for the treatment of osteoporosis, can actually weaken and decrease bone mass, though these results are controversial. It has also been implicated as a mutagen, "producing chromosome aberrations and gene mutations in cultured mammalian cells." (Zeiger, Shelby & Witt: 1993, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Carolina)

Soils: Dirt is dirt or soil is soil. Or is it? Most of our soils are sadly anaemic. That means, just like many of us, they’re tired. Why? Chemical fertilizers have created nutritional deficiencies.

The vegetables and fruits are then as deficient in nutrients as the soils that nurture them. This makes them prey to bug infestations—just as a weakened body plays host to beasties like

parasites and viruses. We spray layer after layer of toxins on the plants to kill bugs. Now we have a double whammy to deal with—fewer nutrients to help our immune systems wrestle with

an increasing load of toxins.

Am I affected by these toxins? which ones?

Foods: At the turn of the century, about 90% of the food available went from the farmer to the table—unpackaged and unprocessed. Today, it’s the other way around, about 90% of the

food in a supermarket is dead—packaged, refined and stripped of nutrients. Once eaten, our cells have to struggle with foreign invaders—additives such as colouring, sweeteners, flavourings, and preservatives. Add to this insult hybrid forms of grains, vegetables and fruits developed for storage potential or resistance to bugs rather than for nutritional content. Then there are the cruel way animals are raised in crowded, confined circumstances and injected with a concoction of antibiotics and hormones. Diseased meat and poultry often pass inspection and land on our dinner plates.

"There are over 14,000 man-made chemicals added to the American food supply today. Food additives are not natural nutrition for humans or their pets. Children are suffering the most from food additives because they are exposed to food chemicals from infancy, and human bodies were not meant to be exposed to the degree of chemicals and food additives that we are currently"

use the internet resources to research the myriad of chemicals and food additives inundating our modern food supply.

Stress: Many of us are running on a treadmill. To maintain a high standard of material living, family life often suffers. Life becomes a round of work, eat and not enough sleep. Recreation and relaxing activities are sandwiched into weekends.

Voilà, we get sick!

Dangerous Prescriptions - What are you really taking?

With all this we expect our body to build healthy cells. It’s enough to make a cell up and quit or make us sick! The natural health movement has helped many of us recognize how we create disease. Over time, we give our bodies too many toxins to deal with and too few nutrients and immune building tools to build with. Our cells are overwhelmed and body tissue breaks down.

Allergies

An allergy occurs when a person’s immune system over-reacts to substances — called an allergen — in the environment. These allergens are found in house dust mites, pets, pollen, foods, drugs, insect stings, latex and moulds. An allergen for one person may not be a problem for another person, and everyone reacts differently, and many of us don't even realize how allergic we are to some things.

Depression

In this modern technological world when things have moved faster than we humans have been able to adjust to, what we use to improve our life is in fact destroying it!

Frightening thought?

Pain

In the 2007 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), 1.4 per cent of respondents (representing 3.1 million Americans) said they had used acupuncture in the past year. A special analysis of acupuncture data from an earlier NHIS found that pain or musculoskeletal complaints accounted for 7 of the top 10 conditions for which people use acupuncture. Back pain was the most common, followed by joint pain, neck pain, severe headache/migraine, and recurring pain.

Headaches

Primary headache with or without neck pain accounts for over 90% of all headaches. These headaches are not attributed to an underlying disease process that may pose a serious threat to a patient’s health. Although painful and debilitating, these headaches are often benign.

Primary headaches include:

• Tension
• Migraine
• Cervicogenic
• Cluster
• Sleep

During sleep, our bodies perform a number of functions that are triggered by the night-time hormone called melatonin. This hormone slows down the body’s respiratory system and clears our cells of toxins. So when we do not get sleep at night, this hormone is not activated, and we become more susceptible to various health problems.

Stress Anxiety

I started pondering the other day how everybody always says they're doing fine and nobody ever means it. Car troubles, the doctors' appointments, the bouts of ill health, the annoying boss, the deadlines and demands etc, If you scratch the surface, the troubles pour out and it always ends with, "I'm just so stressed."...there is such a simple inexpensive solution.

Memory Loss

Alzheimer's, Dementia, and the ageing brain

Every Week we get emails and letters from people enquiring about remedies for Alzheimer's or Dementia, and the ageing brain, here is some info we found, I hope it helps bring hope and allays some of the fears expressed.

Heart

There used to be a time when things like heart disease and high cholesterol were reserved for older folks. In fact, people in their 30's and 40's didn't even give these subjects a second thought. That time is no more.

The fact is many cases of heart disease and heart attacks could be completely avoided if people would just add a Magnesium Chloride Magnesium is nothing short of a miracle mineral in its healing effect on a wide range of diseases as well as in its ability to rejuvenate the ageing body. We know that it is essential for many enzyme reactions, especially in regard to cellular energy production, for the health of the brain and nervous system and also for healthy teeth and bones.

Stroke

Can Severe Stress Cause Stroke?

ScienceDaily (Oct. 2, 2009) — Many patients urgently admitted to hospital with cerebral infarction (Stroke) state that they were under great stress over a prolonged period prior to suffering their stroke, is shown in a unique patient study conducted in cooperation between the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg and Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden.

"We found an independent link between self-perceived psychological stress and stroke." 

Cancer

Over recent decades, the incidence of cancer has escalated to epidemic proportions (1), now striking nearly one in two men (44%) and more than one in three women (39%). This increase translates into approximately 56% more cancer in men and 22% more cancer in women over the course of a single generation (2). As admitted by recent.

Addiction

Affectiveness of the NET or Brain Tuner device was established by a Chinese Acupuncturist, Dr Wen, in Hong Kong in the 1970s by testing hundreds of patients at a clinic, most of whom were on drugs of one kind or another, alcohol, nicotine, heroin, etc, consciously or unconsciously trying to relieve stress, largely a mental condition?

Obesity

Is Addiction the True Reason for the Obesity Epidemic?

Food Addiction - Can be addicted to food just like they are to drugs (it is always our fault) but is it, or is it something else?
