FOOD NOT WEAPONS IS GLOBAL NEED

     Introduction            BY GHULAM MOHYUDDIN WANI  DVM,Ph,D

            The change in climate and the droughts in the world food deficient areas have brought famine like conditions in Africa and Asia. The recession in industries and commercial production other than food processing has revived interest in agriculture in some of the developed countries ,It is said food industries suffered less recession than others, thus the food production and agriculture production interest revived.USA is the biggest contributor to the food aid but the recession has it effects on the transportation as at time s transport of ton of food grain costs more than the price of production. Thus the old burning of food grains in one content  rather than its shipment to needy is slowly reborn. This  demands self sufficiency on content or region basis .

FOOD INSECURITY AND ITS EXPORT

             In recent years we have seen countries banning export of the food, fearing the insecurity in world food prices. This  entails a judicious location specific food security policy.It  will need more money in institute building, food processing and mitigating post harvest food losses. The amount spent on defence warfare if reviewed shows that world spends more on deadly weapons than on food. Thus all those countries and individual groups who are engaging the world in wars have to rethink their mandate. If both claim to be human and earth friendly, they have to abounding war and work for the peace .This is the only solution for mitigation of the climatic change, this is the only way to peace and avoids doomsday disasters in this world. This episode shall describe and review the amounts spent on defence and warfare by the world .The next which shall follow it will discuss world strategies to combat the global hunger and death.

           The man came to earth with his eve quite naked and having no companion or livelihood means or even any skills. The earth was a punishment announced to him on his discharge from the heavens. The GOD created him of clay well melded and infused a soul in to it, He gave him all knowledge which even angles envy and feel jealous of, all angles and the gains were asked to bow before MAN. All obeyed except the abeles who felt it disgrace to him to obey .He was cursed .He became an enemy of Man and owed to lead him astray, The God gave him the chance to him to do this and promised to fill the hell with people who obey the devil or the belies the satanic is this animosity which threw the Adam out of the heavens. He was mislead by the devil and tasted the wheat, WHICH  WAS   FORBIDDEN .                     Thus from the very existence of this universe devil mislead the man and odes it even now, He had the heavens still wanted to have more and in his greed for more he was   out of the heaves and down to this earth. This narration refers Quran verses. It is reproduced here only to impress that man is never satisfied what he has and wants more power, money and this lust always destroys the world. In today’s paper we shall review what is in the world and whether combining all resources we have enough to spend for food or are we spending more on weapons than the food.                    The American on an average spends 215 us dollars on defence which an almost similar to the average mans income in the world. WE HAVE A AVERAGE OF LESS THAN 1000 DOLLARS  being earned by a common man and the told cost to feed him is around 300-400 a year. Imagine a single country of the world US SPENDING MORE THAN 215 DOLLARS per capita of whole human population in this world. My point here is we have avenues to feed all humans and animals in this world if we abandon wars and weapon and embrace peace. Imagine a world free of tensions and wars and all concerned to eat only after the nearby has eaten or is cared off,                          This paper shall review the global wealth and resources being spent on wars and defence, which if saved can save us all, Thus peace is the answer and an essential component of our existence on earth, In this worked of today about one billion out 6 billion live on less than a dollar per day. The world food prices have increased by 43 % in USA.                        The world think tank institutions are not in palace to meet their demands because of deficient bugets, Most of the institutes in the world are suffering from spasms or a sickness, Many countries have even found it difficult to use the food as aid due to heavy increase in the transportation cost. Out of one dollar food aid organizations spent 0.65 dollar i.e. 65 * ON TRNAPORT, The viable economic module to sent food from neighbouring food out lets is not forthcoming. For example in recent years the sale of rice by large exporting countries Philippines and Vietnam has been restriced, the fear of the drought in India might have Benn stimulus to stop exports and to build country reserve for the bad crop seasons in future, the purchasing power of the landless and the poor have been another problem.                   The programming of the rural development programmes in the India called NAREGA has substantially helped to avoid the food crisis by providing 100 days employment at the rate of RS100 per days .This provides a man or women Rs 10,000 per year, which may help him to make a square meals and avoid huger. The programme in its objectives is one of the best programmes thought of in the world and if implemented properly may help to avoid huger to a sustained level.

 USA will spent 534 billion dollars in 2010 on defence .IMAGINE a world of 9 billion in 2050 and average food cost of a man around a dollar, this amount alone can sustain 60 days of the 9 billion population.Whenwe add the amount spent by other countries we will see world spends more on weapons and army than we need all the future population in this world. I ask a question from all those increasing weapons and defence expenditure is not it foolish to go for weapon when peace is much cheaper than the war. More civilized have been killed in wars than the food shortages, then why we go for the weapons. This is what are devils desighs.He makes us to feel little when we are humble but insists us to in an attempt to live better they grab and subdue others .We wish to accumulate gold and wealth to let our lust and greed be satisfied and not for our existrnce.If global resources are pooled all the populace shall live with honour. This and third id the right thinking and perhaps all religions and GOD wishes us set up such a system.CAN WE PLAN AND DO IT? The answer is yes and if you ask how my answer is to read further.

Global defence Budget.

The war of Iraq and A fganistan has coasted around 900 billion dollars to USA IN 2008.The war killed  many whose costs we are not able to calculate, but yes the wars wounded 33,000 men and women whose treatment coasted the world  few billion dollars more, these costs are shown in American budget as oversee contingency operations and must not be less than few hundred billions for 2010

          Economic calculations but simulations show that adjusted to 2009 vale of the dolls USA HAS ANNUALLY SPENT 2000-2500 billion dollars from 1962-2014,Thus these spending are continuous ,Some times we use to kill people in Vienam ,then in Cambodia ,Iraq and Afghanistan followed by many wars covertly or overtly. All have coasted more than it would have coasted to feed the entire world race including animals. Thus the weapons and wars are what breeds terries and regional fights be it Israel,phalestien,Irag,Bangladesh or camaroen,The net result is environmental degradation,asrenalization do the world. I would blame America and all other super powers to have wasted and exhausted the global resources for the destruction than the reconstruction of the global natural resources. This is what devil must be proud of, He has lead us to kill,killand kill and not to peace.

       It is not Americans alone who are to blamed the whole world dances to the tune of devil.Let us review the world spending on defence.

                           The 2009 U.S. military budget is almost as much as the rest of the world’s defense spending combined and is over nine times more than the defence budget of china.The Usa spent 37 ,8% of its GDP IN 1944,Today it spends around 4%,,During VEITNAM  spent around 9.4 % on defence. The americium economy and growth is externally supported by deposits and debts from rest of the world. Thus the real spending and not the saving has been the slogan of uncrossing money flow and employment’s omen economists criticize it as a divesting for the world financial order.         

           If the banks in the world go bankrupt it is not the money of any one country but the whole worked which floats and sinks .Thus a new reformation model is necessary. We leave it to the economists to devise one. May be the Islamic models thought of in Malaysia and other countries need a try. This topic has been death by the economic reviewers, we may try to discuss economics of food production and distribution in this global village in our next episode, and here we conclude that world spends on destruction more than it needs to sustain life on earth. Thus the devil plays his game of divide and rule.

           Let us all the humans and subjects of one and only one GOD assemble,discuss,prepose and concise on peace and not war. Let the love of GOD be dear to us than the love of devil. HUMAN IS TO BE FED AND NOT KILLED, No bullet fired by friend or foe is desireable.Every on killed in this war of today is a human from this earth and not from any other sphere. Even if someone comes from other alien spheres we must meld them to peace  not war ,this make our goal for a universal brotherhood series more relevant and important.

Xango, Mangosteen Juice – the Miracle Food Supplement

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Xango was introduced to me by my friend in the Philippines. He shared with me that this mangosteen juice contains a lot of nutrients more potent than Vitamin E and Vitamin C. So my wife and I tried it. Here are some interesting benefits that we derived from drinking it:

My wife has insomnia, after drinking mangosteen juice (2 ounces twice a day) for 2 days, she’s already asleep by 11:30 pm.I usually have migraine in the afternoon, after drinking mangosteen juice (2 ounces twice a day) for 4 days, I am totally headache free.

I was so amazed with the results so I did some readings and research. Here’s what I found:

Mangosteen has been used by traditional practitioners of Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines and Africa for its varied medicinal applications. These applications include:

antimicrobial agenttreatment for skin diseasesanti-inflammatory agentanalgesic (pain reliever)antidiarrheal treatmentgastrointestinal aid

Dr. J. Frederick Templeman, a primary care physician, board certified in the US & Canada, with over 20 years clinical experience and a medical director of Phytoceutical Research states that the human body is a remarkable creation, capable of caring for and repairing itself – but only if it receives the necessary nutrients (raw materials) to do so. When a state of disequilibrium occurs, we can only assist the body in its efforts to restore optimal health.

There are a variety of measures we can utilize to help our bodies recover from illness. Improved diet, stress relief, and increased physical activity are a few things that can make a tremendous difference in our state of health. Sometimes even these are not enough.

Supplementation also plays a critical role in assisting the body to both prevent and combat disease. Which supplements should we take? Well, each of our bodies is different, so each of our needs is slightly different as well. If you think of your body as own personal laboratory, and you “experiment” with different supplements to achieve better health, you will soon be able to determine which products your body can use most effectively.

Dr. Templeman feels that natural supplements offering the broadest range of phytonutrients to the body are those you should consider first. In this regard, the mangosteen fruit possesses a wide range of phytonutrients, including xanthones. But xanthones are only half the story. The fruit also contains catechins and proanthocyanidins, both classes of polyphenols shown to have great nutritional value for the body. Mangosteen also possesses polysaccharides and sterols, two groups of compounds also thought to possess a variety of potential health benefits.

Dr. Templeman adds: “If you are in poor health, or are simply looking to lower your risk of disease, I encourage you to experiment with the mangosteen fruit in the laboratory of your own body to determine how it will put this amazing fruit to use.”

In addition to what I’ve learned, the bulk of the nutrients comes from the pericarp or rind of the mangosteen fruit.

Here are some interesting research and results of preclinical studies which provide the evidence that these nutrients can be used by the body:

Atherosclerosis. Cathecin research on mangosteen has demonstrated the following in the area of atherosclerosis (the process of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium and fibrin (a clotting material in the blood) building up in the inner lining of an artery. The buildup that results is called plaque.):

Decreased liver production of LDL and VLDL (bad cholesterol)Protection of the LDL molecule from free radical damage (antioxidant effect more potent that Vitamin C)Decreased amount of absorption and digestion of dietary factsNormalization of endothelial cell function in the artery so that adhesion substances are not formedInhibition of the growth factors that cause smooth muscle cells in the walls of arteries to grow abnormally and form plaqueInhibition of bacterial proliferation in the mouth that leads to gum disease and the possible infection of arterial plaqueDampening of the inflammatory response, which leads to plaque rupture and triggers the coagulation cascade that produces the deadly blood clotInhibition of thrombin-induced clot information (the coagulation cascade)Xanthone research has revealed the following properties:

Antioxidant activity (surpassing that of Vitamin E) that protects LDL particles from free radical damage in laboratory studiesAntibacterial action to prevent the infection of plaquesAnti-inflammatory activity capable of dampening the inflammation, which can lead to plaque rupture

Proanthocyanidin research has revealed the following properties:

Antioxidant activity to protect LDL particles from free radical damageAntibacterial effectsNormalization of endothelial vasolidatory function in the arteries through the increased production of Nitric oxideAntithrombotic (anticlotting) effectAnti-inflammatory effect to lessen the probability of plaque ruptureRegulation of adhesion molecule production by endothelial cells

Sterol research has revealed the following properties:

Normalization of lipid production to prevent the excessive formation of LDL

Polysaccharide research has revealed the following properties:

Antibacterial effect

Cancer. Cathecin research in the area of cancer has revealed:

Protection of DNA from damage by free radicals and other mutagensRepair of damaged DNA before cancer beginsInhibition of the inappropriate production of growth factors which promote cancerInhibition of the proteolytic enzymes, which cancerous cells produce to invade normal tissue and to mestatasizeProtection of skin from UV damageInhibition of the production of pro-inflammatory mediators which promote cancer growthChemoprotection (by unelucidated mechanisms) from many different types of cancerAnti-tumor effect by the induction of apoptosis or cell death in cancer cells

Xanthone research in the area of cancer has revealed:

Protection of DNA from damage by free radicalsInduction of apoptosis (cell suicide) in tumor cells of several types of cancerAnti-tumor efficacy (in vitro) of garcinone E (a mangosteen xanthone), surpassing the effect of five commonly utlized chemotherapy agents

Proanthocyanidin research in the area of cancer has shown:

Inhibition of the production of protein-dissolving agents produced by cancer cells to invade normal tissue and to metastasize

Inflammation. The body’s non-specific response to virtually all insults (such as infection, trauma, radiation damage, allergen irritation, etc.) is inflammation. Characterized by swelling, redness, heat and pain, most inflammation is short-lived and an important part of the healing process. However, too often inflammation does not shut off when it should and can continue for weeks, months, or years (chronic inflammation). When this occurs, the inflammation itself (which can be painless and therefore silent) becomes a serious health threat.

Although not a disease per se, chronic inflammation has been implicated in the development of many health problems including cancer, arthritis, diabetes, skin disorders, heart disease, neurodegenerative diseases (such as MS, Parkinson’s disease and Alzheimer’s), lung disease, inflammotory bowel disease (Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis), ulcers, gastritis, GERD, allergy, kidney failure and even psychiatric disorders like depression, autism and schizophrenia. And this list is not complete because other illnesses have been shown to involve inflammatory states as greater or lesser causatory or exacerbating factors.

Cathecin research in the area of inflammation shows:

Ability to chelate iron and copper, two metals frequently involved in the production of free radicalsExcellent antioxidant activity that even exceeds the antioxidant power of vitamin C

Xanthone research in the area of inflammation shows:

Antioxidant capability which exceeds that of vitamin EAll 43 mangosteen xanthones have antioxidant capabilityThe capability of blocking the most common inflammatory cascade (arachadonic acid to prostaglandin E2) at the genetic level (COX-2 blockade)Antioxidant effect in an animal experiment that equaled the power of the drug dexamethasone and exceeded the effect of the drug Indomethacin

Proanthocyanidin research in the area of inflammation shows:

Effective inhibition of the proinflammatory enzyme COX-2 (again at the level of the COX-2 gene)The ability to inhibit the formation of copper-linked free radicalsChemoprotective effects on cells threatened with inflammatory damage

(Ref. – Mangosteen, the gift your body deserves by J. Frederic Templeman, M.D.)

The above mentioned illnesses are only a few of what mangosteen can do and help our body. You may do your own research by searching mangosteen in the internet or you may visit http://www.mangosteenmd.com.

To sum it up: XanGo (Xangosteen in Singapore) juice is a food supplement that has an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-tumor and cancer prevention properties. It also strengthens the body’s immune system. Backed by research, and experiences/success stories of doctors and ordinary people, http://www.mangosteenexperiences.com.
