amazing cure for dengue fever !!!!

I would like to share this interesting discovery from an alumni's classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the SJMC ICU when his pallet counts drops to 15 after 15 litres of blood transfusion. His father was so worried that he seeks another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he give his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. >From a pallet count of 45 after 20 litres of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his pallet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he ask me to pass this good news around.
Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2 pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like Won Low Kat. But it works.
Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue
You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all. A friend of mine had dengue last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.
Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!! Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever. Papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the heatiness in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heatiness.

4 WIVES - A GOOD LEARNING

Once upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives.He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robesand treated her to the finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was always showingher off to neighboring kingdoms. However, hefeared that one day she would leave him for another. He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confi dant and wasalways kind, considerate and patient with him.Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in her,and she would help him get through the difficult times.The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had madegreat contributions in maintaining his wealth andkingdom. However, he did not love the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took noticeof her!One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. Hethought of his luxurious life and wondered,I now have four wives with me, but when I die, I'll be all alone."Thus, he asked the 4th wife , "I loved you the most, endowedyou with the finest clothing and showeredgreat care over you. Now that I'm dying, will! You follow me and keep me company?""No way!", replied the 4th wife, and she walked away withoutanother word.Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his heart. The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I loved you all mylife. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me nandkeep me company?""No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life nis too good! When you die, I'm going to nremarry!"His heart sank and turned ncold.He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned nto you forhelp and you've always been there for me. nWhen I die, will you follow me and keep me ncompany?""I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", nreplied the 2ndwife. "At the very most, I can only walk with nyou to your grave." Her answer struck him like a bolt noflightning, and the King was ndevastated.Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you. nI'll follow you nomatter where you go." The nKing looked up, and there was his first wife. She was veryskinny as nshe suffered from malnutrition and neglect.Greatly grieved, the King nsaid, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the nchance!"In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our nlives:Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time nand effortwe lavish in making it look good, nit will leave us when we die.Our n3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth.When we die, it will nall go to others.Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. nNo matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest ntheycan stay by us is up to the grave.And nour 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in pursuit ofwealth, power nand pleasures of the world. However, our Soul is the only thing that nwill follow us wherever we go.Cultivate, nstrengthen and cherish it now, for it is the only",1]);--life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me andkeep me company?""No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to remarry!"His heart sank and turned cold.He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you forhelp and you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?""I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied the 2ndwife. "At the very most, I can only walk with you to your grave." Her answer struck him like a bolt oflightning, and the King was devastated.Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you. I'll follow you nomatter where you go." The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was veryskinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect.Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the chance!"In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives:Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effortwe lavish in making it look good, it will leave us when we die.Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth.When we die, it will all go to others.Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how much they have been there for us, the furthest theycan stay by us is up to the grave.And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in pursuit ofwealth, power and pleasures of the world. However, our Soul is the only thing that will follow us wherever we go.Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is the onlypart of us that nwill follow us to the throne of God and continue with us throughout Eternity.Thought for the day:Remember, when nthe world pushes you to your knees,you're in the perfect position to npray.Pass this on to someone you care about - I just ndid.Being happy doesn't mean everything's perfect.It means you've ndecided to see beyond the imperfections!

MOST PATHETIC CELLULAR SERVICE PROVIDER

its 16th and there is still no response...............
i have lodged a complaint at 1502 five days back,and no response
they do not pick up any of their helpline numbers .(six numbers in all)
they dont have any office in mumbai except bandra kurla where the grievance can be addressed.
most disgusting experience i have ever had.



Respected sir/madam,
my phone 22919454 has still not been activated.
I feel really cheated.

Now , in addition to reactivating my number immediately,
you will have to do 2 things:

1)written apology in any form,
letter
mail
sms on 93222 72946

2)I should not be charged rental for the period the phone was disconnected,
since thursday morning till lthe time my phone will be reconnected .
for example if it gets reconnected today, four days(friday saturday,sunday,monday) rent to be calculated as folllows:

(750+ SERVICE TAX+ CESS)/ 30*4= (750 + 91.8)/7.5=RS.112.24

I WANT THIS AMOUNT TO BE DEDUCTED FROM THIS MONTH'S BILL , FAILING WHICH I WILL TAKE THIS ISSUE TO ALL THE LEADING NEWSPAPERS, THE FIRST ONE BEING THE TIMES OF INDIA,FOLLOWED BY THE MIDDAY,

I HAVE PROOFS OF THE PAYMENTS I HAVE MADE TILL THE DUE DATE, I WILL HAVE NO HESITATION IN FURNISHING THE PROOFS TO ANY AUTHORITY, EITHER IN YOU ORGANISATION OR ANY OTHER. BUT ONE THING IS SURE,NOW I WILL NOT CALL YOU , YOU PEOPLE WILL .


"THANKS FOR ALL THE NON- COOPERATION AND ALL THE PATHETIC AFTER SALES SERVICE.

AS I SAID EARLIER,
ONCE A GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT,ALWAYS A GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENT.

no wonder mtnl and bsnl is losing all its business to all the private operators
it would be beneficial for everybody if the government would just divest this business, hand it over to the private operators and concentrate on the other things.

regards,
hemanshu gala

Why was my phone disconnected? - letter to mtnl

i am using mtnl garuda fixed landline for 3-4months now.
the number is 022-22919454
750/- scheme

the billing cycle is very erratic.

i was told that you could pay the bill by cash at the post offices.
citing the convenience i did that(about one and a half month back) and i regret that so much now.
result is that payment is still not reflected in my account . the amount was 2893/-.
thank god i have preserved the receipt given by the post office.
otherwise you people would have taken me for a ride.

I have even made the payment for the bill after that.

you people instead of checking your accounts, have the audacity to send me reminders by sms and automated calls to pay the bill.
you call at my residence and threaten that the phone will be disconnected.
then you actually go ahead and disconnect it.(yesterday morning- 9th november , 2006)

Today morning i go to your mulund exchange to file the complaint for activating the phone at eight thirty.
there is noone at eight thirty except for a lady who takes my request.
your server is down(is it ever in working condition?) so she cannot see my account.
she sees all the receipts of the payment made , and assures me that she will handle the complaint, give me a phone call by 10.30
she take down all my details, my cell number - 93222 72946 . i was actually impressed by her response.

alas , it was too good to be true.
its 5pm now , and still no response.
once a government department , always a government department.
so much for claiiming customer service( i was a fool to even expect it).
first service the existing customers and then look for new ones.

on a personal level,
i will make sure that i sever all connections with mtnl and all partners,
you have got a "non-customer for life"


regards,

I.c.i.c.i. account atm users - important information

ICICI ATM / Debit cards can be used at SBI ATMs to withdraw money and most shocking thing is, it does not ask for your PIN**. Even if it asks for pin and if u cancel it, it goes on to the next screen and enables you to withdraw cash. This security vulnerability was shown live on India TV news channel at SBI ATM in Hyderabad. So please take utmost care of your ICICI ATM / Debit cards to avoid any such misuse.

How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # .A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

Hidden Battery power

Imagine your cell battery is very low, you are expecting an important call and you don't have a charger. Nokia instrument comes with a reserve battery. To activate, press the keys *3370# Your cell will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell next time.

Have you locked your keys in the car? Does you car have remote keys?

This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:
If you lock your keys in the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone.Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other "remote" for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).

THINGS YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR CELLPHONE COULD DO

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for
survival. Check out the things that you can do with it: -

EMERGENCY
The Emergency Number worldwide for **Mobile** is 112 .* If you find
yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an
emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to
establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly this number 112
can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. **Try it out.**

WITH THE PLACEMENTS ON...... SOME IMPORTANT MANAGEMENT LESSONS

CORPORATE LESSON # 1
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower & the doorbell rings. After a few seconds of arguing over who should go and answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself up in a towel and runs downstairs.
When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a word, Bob says, "I'll give you $ 800 just to drop that towel that you have on". After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. Bob has a close look at her for a few seconds, hands over $800 and quietly leaves.Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and goes upstairs.When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks from the shower "Who was that?" "It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies."Great,"the husband says, "did he say anything about the $! 800 he owes me?"

After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The nun looked at him and immediately said, "Father, remember psalm 129?" The
priest was flustered and apologized profusely. He forced himself to leg.Further on, while changing gear, he let his hand slide up her leg again.The nun once again said, "Father, remember psalm 129?" Once again the priest apologized."Sorry sister, but the mind is weak." Arriving at the convent, the nun got out, gave him a meaningful glance and went on her way. On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to retrieve a bible and looked up psalm 129. It Said, "Go forth and seek; further up, you will find glory.">

When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout What you want the pool of water to become, then your wish will come true."The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted WINE".The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool. Next is the Russian's turn, he did the same and shouted, "VODKA" and immersed himself into a pool of vodka.The German was next and he jumped and shouted, "BEER". He was so contented with his beer pool. The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel.

SURPRISING Marketing strategy coupled with finance

there was this exchange offer videocon had come up a few days back

flat tv 21" with costing 12500/-

get 2500 BACK on your old t.v

so net cost reduces to 10000/-

get a seven year zero coupon bond worth rs.7500/-
(for the non-finance guys it means you will get 7500/- after seven years on presenting the bond to the company)

considering a present value of the bond to be 4000/- at a 10% yield
so net cost reduces to rs.6000/-(12500-2500-4000)

how is the company able to recover cost and make profit selling a 21" flat t.v. for 6000???????????

do you have an answer?????????
