Today’s western scientists also accept honey as a "Ram Ban" (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases without producing any side effects. Today, honey is produced in most of the countries of the world and is therefore available worldwide. Modern science maintains that although honey is sweet, if ingested in the right dosages as a medication, diabetic patients will also be able to intake it.

According to Ayurvedic medicine, a mixture of Honey and Cinnamon can be beneficial to  many  ailments and diseases and on 17^th January 1995, ‘Weekly World News’ - Canada, published a list of ailments/diseases that can be helped / treated with a Honey/Cinnamon mixture. Some of the important details of that information are as below:

HEART DISEASES - Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, spread it on bread or chapatti instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. This can help to reduce the cholesterol in the arteries and maybe reduce the possibility of a heart patient from suffering a heart attack. Patients, who have already suffered attacks, are also advised to ingest the honey/cinnamon mixture to ward off further attacks.

Regular use of the mixture relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heartbeat. In USA and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that due to increasing age, the arteries and veins, which lose their flexibility and become clogged, are revitalized.
 

ARTHRITIS - Mix one part honey to two parts of lukewarm water and add a small level teaspoon of cinnamon powder. Make a paste and massage slowly onto the itching area of the body. It has been found that the pain can recede within a minute or two.  Arthritic patients can also benefit from the daily intake morning and evening, of one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder mixed together. In a recent research program conducted at Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon honey and half a teaspoon cinnamon powder before breakfast; within a week, out of 200 patients who underwent the treatment, 73 patients were relieved of pain, and within a month most of the patients who could not walk or who had limited mobility due to their arthritis, started walking without pain. 

HAIR LOSS - For people suffering from hair loss or baldness the following paste has been found to be effective: In warm olive oil, mix one tablespoon of honey, one teaspoon cinnamon powder, make a paste and apply before taking a bath. Leave on the scalp /hair for around 5 ―15 minutes, and then wash the hair.

 

BLADDER INFECTIONS - Stir two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and ingest. This can destroy the bacteria in the bladder that are the cause of the infection.

TOOTHACHE  - Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply to the aching tooth. This may be applied 3 times a day until the tooth stops aching.

CHOLESTEROL - Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed into 16 ounces of tea water, can aid in the reduction of cholesterol levels in the blood by 10% within a two hour period. As mentioned above for arthritic patients, if this mixture is ingested 3 times day, chronic cholesterol can be lowered. Pure honey, also ingested daily without cinnamon, taken together with food, is an aid in lowering cholesterol levels.
 

COLDS  - Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey mixed with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for 3 days. This will cure most chronic coughs, colds and clear the sinuses.

INFERTILITY - Yunani and Ayurvedic medicine have been using honey for thousands of years to strengthen the semen of men and improve impotence. Through the regular ingestion of two tablespoons of honey, prior to sleep, impotence can be greatly reduced. In China, Japan and Far-Eastern countries, women, who do not conceive and need to strengthen the uterus, have been taking cinnamon powder for centuries. Women, who are unable to conceive, may take a pinch of cinnamon powder in half teaspoon of honey and apply it on the gums frequently throughout the day, so that it slowly mixes with the saliva and can therefore enter the body.  There is a story about a couple in Maryland, USA who were unable to produce children for 14 years and had lost hope of having a child of their own. When told about the honey cinnamon mixture both the husband and wife started ingesting the mixture and the wife conceived after a few months, giving birth to healthy twins.

DID I MARRY THE RIGHT PERSON?

Those who are still single may learn something from here....
Those who are already married may take it as a guideline to improve your marriage....

During one of our seminars, a woman asked a common question.
She said, "How do I know if I married the right person?"
I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said,"It depends. Is that your husband?"
In all seriousness, she answered, "How do you know?"
Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.
Here's the answer:


EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse.
You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.
Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. Infact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience.
You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love...

People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet."
Think about the imagery of that expression.
It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.
Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience.
But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades.
It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship.
Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all).
Touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage, you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love; and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.
At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?"
And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else.
This is when marriages breakdown.
People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.
Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious.
But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessive TV, or abusive substances.
But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage.
It lies within it.
I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else.
You could.
And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later.
 
Because (listen carefully to this):
THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON;
IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.
SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience.
It'll NEVER just happen to you.
You can't "find" LASTING love.
You have to "make" it day in and day out.
That's why we have the expression "the labor of love", because it takes time, effort, and energy.
And most importantly, it takes WISDOM.
You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work, make no mistake about it.
 
Love is NOT a mystery.
There are specific things you can do (with or without your spouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships.
Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger.
It's a direct cause and effect.
If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable. ..You can "make" love.
Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... not just a feeling.
Remember this always:
"God determines who walks into your life. It is up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go."

UNA TATIZO LA KUKOSA USINGIZI?

Mtu mwenye afya nzuri, anahitaji kupata usingizi mzuri pia. Kuna baadhi ya watu hujaribu kulala lakini hawapati usingizi na wengine hulala na kupata usingizi, lakini hukatika katikati ya usiku na kubaki macho hadi kunapambazuka.
Sababu za mtu kukosa usingizi zinatofautiana kati ya mtu na mtu, inategemea na hali ya kiafya, kiakili, kimwili na kitabia ya mtu husika. Mtu anaweza kukosa usingizi kwa sababu ya kuwa na msongo wa mawazo au hofu juu ya jambo fulani au anaweza kukosa usingizi kutokana na matumizi ya dawa au dawa za kulevya, kahawa na ‘nikotini’. Inaweza pia kusababishwa na mazingira mabovu ya mtu anayolala.

Kwa mtu mwenye afya njema na asiye na matatizo yoyote, mwili unatakiwa upumzishwe kwa muda wa saa 7.5 au 8.5 kwa siku, na iwe usiku. Kuna baadhi ya watu usiku hawalali na badala yake hulala mchana kutwa, tabia hii kiafya haikubaliki kwa sababu inaenda kinyume na utendaji kazi wa mwili kiasili.

DONDOO 10 ZA KUKUSAIDIA KUPATA USINGIZI
Kwanza ni lazima upange muda wa kulala na kumka ambao utaendana na ratiba yako, hakikisha unalala na kuamka katika muda huo huo ulioupanga bila kuzidisha wala kupunguza. Kama una tatizo la kukosa usingizi, wakati unajiandaa kwenda kulala, usinywe vichangamsha mwili kama vile kahawa, pombe, sigara, chai nyeusi, n.k. Vitu hivyo huchangia kuvuruga usingizi. Usifanye mazoezi muda mfupi kabla ya kwenda kulala. Kama ni mtu wa mazoezi na unakabiliwa na hili tatizo, fanya mazoezi yako angalau masaa 3 kabla ya kwenda kulala. Hakikisha mazingira ya unapolala yanakuridhisha na yaliyotulia yasiyokuwa na makelele. Ni vizuri ukilala kwenye mazingira ya giza kuliko yenye taa na mwanga mkali. Ukiwa na njaa na kiu, huwezi kupata usingizi mzuri. Aidha, inashauriwa kuepuka kula vyakula vigumu na kushiba kupita kiasi muda mfupi kabla ya kwenda kulala. Vile vile usile vitafunwa vyenye sukari sukari kabla ya kwenda kulala, huchangia kuvuruga usingizi kwani hupandisha kiwango cha sukari mwilini. Inashauriwa kujisaidia kabisa kabla ya kwenda kulala, hupunguza uwezekano wa kubanwa na haja ndogo katikati ya usingizi na kulazimika kuamka ili kwenda kujisaidia. Weka muziki laini na kwa sauti ya chini pembeni ya kitanda chako ili kukuliwaza na kutuliza ubongo wako. Usomaji wa vitabu vya kiroho na kidini muda mfupi kabla ya kulala, hutuliza akili hivyo kukuwezesha kupata usingizi haraka. Usisome vitabu vya hadithi za kutisha au kusisimua muda mfupi kabla ya kulala, mambo huwa tofauti. Kama wewe ni mnene kupita kiasi, punguza unene kwanza, kwani uzito ukizidi huchangia matatizo mengine ya kiafya, likiwemo la ukosefu wa usingizi. Unaposhituka kutoka usingizini, usiangalie saa, itakusababishia ‘mchecheto’, badala yake endelea kulala na kufumba macho, hatimaye utapitiwa na usingizi tena. Ushauri wa mwisho mwingine, kunywa vijiko viwili au kimoja kikubwa cha asali mbichi wakati unapanda kitandani!

 

Whitney Houston was a lesbian before she met Bobby Brown

It is a well-known fact in the music industry that pop icon Whitney Houston was involved in a long term lesbian relationship with her personal assistant, Robyn Crawford, before she met Bobby Brown. It was whispered that Whitney and Bobby’s relationship was initially arranged by her record label to dispel the persistent lesbian rumors.
In addition to introducing her to Bobby, Houston’s tomboyish image was also revamped, and she was asked to wear wigs, in an effort to soften her image and make her appear more feminine.
According to the Daily Mail, gay rights activist Peter Tatchell said her marriage to Bobby Brown was a smokescreen.
“It’s important to tell the truth about this aspect of her life,” he told the Daily Star.
It’s a well-known fact that Whitney’s lover, Robyn, and Bobby often clashed over Whitney’s increasing drug use. Friends say Whitney was into drugs before she met Bobby, but once they got together, her drug use escalated out of control.
