Can marijuana be used for medicinal purposes?

Image
Marijuana can be used for treating nausea caused by cancer, chemotherapy,poor appetite and weight loss caused by HIV,etc. Our body already makes Marijuana like chemicals that affect inflammation,pain,etc. but Marijuana can sometimes make those natural chemicals work better. Medical marijuana can be used as a liquid extract,heated until the active ingredients are released provided no smoke comes out,or it can even be eaten by putting it in cookies. Well there are some side effects of using marijuana such as dizziness,short term memory loss and drowsiness, but they don't last long. More serious side effects include severe anxiety. When using it,it is more likely that you don't know of it's potential to cause cancer and its side effects. So its better not to use it until you have got it prescribed by your doctor in a card. People under the age of 18,pregnant women, and people with heart disease should be more resistant to marijuana.

How does diet affect our general well being?

Image
Those whose dietary patterns include fresh fruits and vegetables,whole grains, legumes,etc. have a lower risk of major chronic diseases and mainly diet related diseases. Highly processed snacks and takeaway food products rich in tasty fat and sugar have now replaced the nutrient rich and unprocessed food in our diet. People who eat more of unhealthy and junk foods are at a higher risk of depression. Obesity increases the risk of depression and dementia while depression prompts obesity. A diet supplemented with nuts,olive oil and a low fat calorie restricted diet improves blood pressure levels, inflammation,insulin sensitivity and other markers of heart disease. Eating enough overall calories per day – ideally as part of balanced meals and snacks at regular time intervals – can help keep you energized. Healthy foods can even improve your sleep, which plays an important role in weight control. Eating when you are hungry and stopping when you are satisfied can help keep your blood pr

How can mitosis cause cancer?

Image
Have you ever thought about mitosis causing cancer? Well,first of all,mitosis is the most common form of cell division that helps in growth and repair. During mitosis,the cell makes an exact copy of itself and splits itself into two daughter cells. It is generally controlled by the genes inside the cells. But sometimes,this control can go wrong. If this happens in just a single cell,it can replicate itself to make new cells that are also out of control. Well,these mostly are,cancer cells. Without the control systems that normal cells have,they replicate rapidly. Tumors or lumps are formed by cancer cells that damage the surrounding tissues. Sometimes,these cancer cells may break off from original tumor and spread in the blood to other parts of the body. scientificallyproventhat.blogspot.com

Should obesity be treated as a disease?

Image
Obesity is complex,that can have many causrs,such as endocrine (like malfunctioning of thyroxin) but often the condition is from a combination of overeating and inactivity. For some,there are genetic factors that produce a tendency to overweight even with the consumption of what would be for most people an appropriate number of calories. Whether the causes are genetic,reside in the brain,or hormonal,it is most often difficult to sort out. Many say there is only one cause of obesity - consuming too many calories.Well,food is dealt in different ways by different bodies - some people who eat a lot seem to be thin while others appear to eat little but be overweight. Genetic,psychological and metabolic factors have all been blamed for obesity. If you see,these may help to explain why people eat too much,nothing can actually be the cause. There are no medical conditions that cause obesity. Thyroid deficiency does lead to weight gain,but again,only if the person is consuming too many calo

Should vaccines be mandatory for children?

Image
Some say that vaccinations are safe and one of the greatest health developments. They point out that several illnesses,including,whooping cough,rubella,polio,diphtheria and small pox and prevented by vaccinations and millions of children are saved. All of you agree to this,don't you? While others say that children's immune system can deal with most infections naturally,and injecting vaccines into the child may cause side effects,including,paralysis and death. Many do not agree to this,including me. Young children and infants are at a higher risk from vaccine - preventable diseases as their immune systems are less mature,and therefore it will be less able to fight off the infection. If a child was to get a vaccine - preventable disease,it would be really serious and even life threatening. Vaccinating children to protect them against life-threatening diseases can cause mild, short-term side effects, such as redness and swelling at the injection site, fever, and rash. But the

How to see back in time?

I don't mean you can see yourself as you were 5 years back. NO. But you can see the past of celestial objects. Distance in the cosmos is calculated in light years. Light year is the distance travelled by light in 1 year. 1 light year = 2,99,792.458(speed of light) × 60(per minute) × 60(per hour) × 24(per day) × 365(per year). So 1 light year = 9.45425496 × 10^12 km. When you see something 1 light year far, you are actually seeing it as it was 1 year ago ! Since light from there had travelled 1 year to reach you ! If you have a telescope to see 14 billion light years far, you can seeing things as they were, sometime soon after the origin of the universe ! scientificallyproventhat.blogspot.com

Should people be encouraged to homeopathy first?

Image
The principles of homeopathy run contrary to modern science. Modern homeopaths have tried to justify the law of similars by comparing it to the effectiveness of vaccines - which involve giving small doses of an infectious pathogen to prevent a later infection. However,do you think this analogy is apt? Vaccines involve measurable doses of weakened or killed organisms and operate a known mechanism - they trigger an immune response. Do you feel there is any anology for homeopathic treatments? I don't think so. Homeopaths today use dilutions of substances which essentially remove all traces of the substance from the final dilution. But is there even a single molecule of the original drug in the final remedy which is given to the patient? No I don't think so. And for this,the homeopaths conclude that the substance is transferring it's essence to the water into which it is diluted. The more it is diluted,the more potent is the water. Do you think they offer any possible explana
