Reflex Mechanism in Vertebro-Visceral relations
Other examples of pure
reflex mechanism are vertebra-visceral or viscera-vertebral relations. In this
type of segmental lesions there are never signs of the true root involvement.
Moreover, the influence of spinal lesions on viscera is largely hypothetical. Whereas
there appears to be more evidence of influence of visceral lesions on mobile
spinal segment (Gutzeit, 1951; Kunert, 1975;Metz, 1976; Schwarz, 1974; Wather, 1963).
Karel Lewit and his collaborators were able to establish something
like “Spinal Pattern” for visceral diseases including Peptic Ulcer(Rychlikova
& Lewit, 1976), Gynecological affections (Lewit et al, 1970; Novotny &
Dvorak, 1972, Novotny, 1973) and Tonsilitis (Lewit & Abrahmovic, 1976).

Doctor Arrested For Prescribing Costly Medicines
A vigilance director arrested a professor of a medical college for favouring pharma companies by prescribing costly medications to poor patients. The doctor being a nodal officer of state government provided financial assistance to poor patients for treatment by availing OSTF benefits. In spite of cheaper medicines being available, he prescribed the costly ones. Due to this corruption, the state government spent hugely on medicines of the particular company unnecessarily. Even the patients had to suffer as the money sanctioned to them under OSTF was exhausted in the middle of the treatment due to costly medicines prescribed. The doctor was charged for abusing official position, favouring different pharmaceutical companies, cheating and misappropriation of government funds. Source: Times of India

Isoflavonoid and Lignan Phytoestrogens as Dietary Biomarkers by Jahanna w. Lampe
Abstract
Isoflavones and lignans are biologically active plant-food constituents that have potential chemopreventive properties. Quantitation of isoflavones and lignans in humans is necessary to establish the benefits and risks of exposure to these compounds in populations and to determine which components of a mixed diet contribute to the exposure. Isoflavones and lignans are metabolized by colonic bacteria to more biologically active metabolites; thus both the parent compounds and the metabolites are measured routinely. Isoflavonoids (genistein, daidzein, dihydrodaidzein, O-desmethylangolensin and equol) and lignans (enterolactone, enterodiol, matairesinol and secoisolariciresinol) can be quantified in various body fluids. Typically, high concentrations of isoflavonoids in urine and serum are associated with soy consumption, and high concentrations of lignans are associated primarily with intake of whole grains and other fiber-containing plant foods. Controlled feeding studies and nutritional epidemiologic studies demonstrate a linear dose response between dietary intake and urinary excretion of isoflavones. Lignan excretion is associated positively with dietary fiber intake as well as with diets that are on average higher in fiber and carbohydrate and lower in fat; thus lignans have also been proposed as a marker of healthier dietary patterns. The complex interactions between the colonic environment and the external and internal factors that modulate it contribute to significant variation in serum and urinary phytoestrogen levels among individuals. Understanding these sources of variation is important to be able to use these measures effectively as dietary biomarkers.

MEDICINAL USE OF GARLIC -Dr.Dhanya C Radhakrishnan, Kerala
Digestive system -
It should be used in low fire, tastelessness, indigestion, constipation,pain, worms and Kapha - Vata diseases due to condensed doshas, being fire stimulant,digestive and analgesic due to paungent and hot qualities.

Garlic has the ability to combat plaque formation in the arteries. Its ability to lower serum cholesterol in the blood can in turn reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
