A 50 day old boy (Rahul) born to manual labourers Karna & Rajeshwari in Tamil Nadu is suffering from - Spontaneous Human Combustion. The little baby suddenly "catches fire" by himself without any apparent reason. Rahul has caught fire four times since he was born. Naturally the village elders have proclaimed that he is possessed by evil spirits. He is being observed by The Kilpauk Medical College & Hospital, where his tests have shown no abnormality.

A Texas man went to the hospital complaining of feeling drunk -- but he hadn't imbibed any alcohol. He had, however, been eating carbs.
Times of India - 24.10.2013
I've put up an image of the article, so I don't need to say much. You can read for yourself.
But I must point out, I saw this on BBC News yesterday, and it clearly mentioned "Meat" as a "good for the heart" Saturated Fat. I don't see it in the Times. Well, this is how things work. I've also added the link to the news in the International Press. You can click on the image for a larger print.
Well, we're not following this lifestyle because some cardiologist says it. We do it because the science says it. It's not true because it works, It works because it's true.
There's a follow up article on the above. Finally, they are waking up, or at least for the time being. You can read it here.

A Texas man went to the hospital complaining of feeling drunk -- but he hadn't imbibed any alcohol. He had, however, been eating carbs.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a type of yeast used in beer, wine
and bread making, was discovered in a man's system, making him drunk without
actually consuming alcohol.
It turns out the 61-year-old had "auto-brewery
syndrome," or "gut fermentation syndrome," described as a
condition where yeast is present in the stomach and ferments carbohydrates into
ethanol. This alcohol product then enters the blood stream and causes the
person to feel drunk.
Been there, done that - I've spent a good couple of years in a "drunken stupor" before "WAKING UP".

really? how ? how come?what is the logic behind?
ReplyDeleteNo idea how this works, but I'll try to find out.
DeleteThere was an article on "dangerous diets" today on the Times website. It included "Paleolithic Diet" and said that this diet is dangerous because it denies the body of essential nutrients from whole grains, legumes and dairy!
ReplyDeleteIf you follow the Paleo 'in toto' the only thing missing there of any importance are the dairy products (mostly fats). Otherwise there are enough raw vegetables and fruits to cover for the Foliate & Vitamin C, the 2 nutrients that are predominant in veg sources.
DeleteBesides, Mark, Peter, Petro et al have debunked these claims many times, for me to repeat any of those points here. Re-read 'The Case against Grains' that I emailed some months ago.
