by

Navjot Singh Sidhu held a press conference and revealed that his wife’s breast cancer was cured in just 40 days using neem leaves, raw turmeric, and lemon water, a debate has started about these ingredients. Everyone wants to know about the benefits of neem leaves, raw turmeric, and lemon water. A lot of research has already been done on these substances, revealing several medicinal properties. Neem leaves are used in Ayurveda for treating various diseases. Many studies have also shown that neem leaves are considered a boon for health. Now the question is, do neem leaves really have anti-cancer properties? What does research say about this? Let’s explore the truth.According to a report from the US National Center for Biotechnology Information, neem has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Several studies have found neem leaves to be rich in anti-cancer properties. Neem seeds, leaves, flowers, and fruits are considered to be full of cancer-fighting qualities. Neem contains bioactive compounds like azadirachtin and nimbolide, which have positive effects on cancer cells. Several compounds in neem help prevent the spread of cancer cells and aid in their destruction. Some of neem’s compounds specifically affect cancer cells, while having minimal impact on normal cells. Neem leaf extract can make cancer cells more sensitive to immunotherapy and radiotherapy.

Navjot Singh Sidhu has deepened regarding the treatment of his wife’s cancer. Sidhu claimed that his wife’s cancer was treated with home remedies. The Chhattisgarh Civil Society has sent a notice to Sidhu demanding an explanation within 40 days, with a claim of 850 crores.

“Is it true that neem leaves have anti-cancer properties? What does research say about this? Understand the full story here.”

One of the major studies on the anti-cancer properties of neem leaves was conducted in 2011, in which the extract of neem leaves was tested on various types of cancer cells. This study found that bioactive compounds found in neem leaves, such as azadirachtin, inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and induce apoptosis. Additionally, the study shows that the extract of neem leaves had a positive impact at the genomic and molecular level of cancer cells, helping to prevent the growth and spread of cancer.A similar study was conducted in 2013, which focused on the anti-tumor and anti-proliferative effects of neem leaf extract. This study tested neem leaf extract on cancer cells such as colon and breast cancer. The researchers found that neem leaves reduced the size of tumor cells and helped in preventing cancer development. Neem leaf extract restored the redox balance in cells, which affected the metabolism of cancer cells and aided in their destruction. This research confirms the anti-cancer properties of neem leaves and highlights their potential therapeutic benefits.Health experts also believe that neem leaves have anti-cancer properties, but to confirm this, research is conducted in multiple phases. First, experiments are done in test tubes. After success, they are tested on small animals, then on larger animals. Only after these stages is testing done on humans. It is also observed whether the newly developed substance is better than existing medications. Afterward, research is conducted on the dosage, and only then is it used as medicine. Therefore, it would not be appropriate to say whether directly consuming something will be beneficial or not.

BENRALIZUMAB (New Hope For Asthma Patient)

Benralizumab Injection Reduces Risk

According to media reports, this treatment is being seen as the biggest breakthrough in respiratory diseases in the last 50 years.

A report published in The Lancet Respiratory Medicine indicates that a new injection will be given to asthma and COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) patients, showing promising results. This injection, named Benralizumab, works as a monoclonal antibody. It targets eosinophils, a type of white blood cell, which can help reduce inflammation in the lungs. Asthma and COPD patients are at risk of developing severe complications due to inflammation in their lungs.

30% More Effective Than Current Treatments

Doctors state that while this treatment has been used in low doses for severe asthma, recent clinical trials have found that if it is injected during an asthma attack, it could be more effective. Experts have discovered that it could be up to 30% more effective than current treatments.

For this trial, 158 participants who required emergency medical care for asthma or COPD attacks were involved. The injection helped reduce symptoms and health complications.

What Did the Study Find?

For this study, the participants were divided into three groups. One group was given the Benralizumab injection along with dummy pills, the second group received standard care (prednisolone 30 mg per day for five days), and the third group received standard care along with the Benralizumab injection. The study results showed that after 28 days, participants who received the Benralizumab injection showed significant improvement in symptoms like coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. After 90 days, the Benralizumab group had significantly improved compared to the other groups.

Could Asthma Risks Decrease?

According to Professor Mona Bafdel from King’s College London, this could be a game-changer for people with asthma and COPD. These two diseases cause millions of deaths worldwide, and despite this, there has been no significant change in the treatment of asthma and COPD for the last 50 years. This is the biggest breakthrough in five decades. We hope that this important study will change the way asthma and COPD are treated in the future, leading to improvements in the health of more than one billion people suffering from these diseases globally.

Dr. Verghese Kurien

National Milk Day is celebrated every year on November 26 in India to recognize the immense contribution of milk and the dairy industry to the country’s growth. This day marks the birth anniversary of Dr. Verghese Kurien, also known as the Father of the White Revolution in India.

Dr. V Kurien’s life-long purpose of work can be summed up in one word: ‘empowerment’ – empowerment of small and marginal farmers and landless laborers. Apart from the Milk Revolution that he spearheaded so successfully, his work has greatly impacted on the lives of millions of cooperative dairy farmers — socially, politically, and most importantly, economically. The milk revolution is, in fact, a by-product of the empowerment he brought about through the Amul-model (also known as Anand-pattern) dairy cooperatives. In Dr. Kurien’s words, he was not in the business of milk. Milk was only the ‘medium’ that he used to empower the farmers.

Dr. Kurien is a man of vision and ended up as an institution builder. He started the Institute of Rural Management (IRMA) at Anand in 1979 to provide management training and research support to the cooperatives being established all over the country. He facilitated the restructuring the National Co-operative Dairy Federation of India, in 1988, to provide a National level body for the country’s State Co-operative dairy federations. To provide quality school education to the children of employees working in the different institutions in Anand he established the Anandalaya Education Society. In 1994 he helped to set up Vidya Dairy to provide hand on experience in dairy plant management to students graduating in dairy technology. He also served as Founder Chairman of the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd, from 1973 to 2006.

Dr. Kurien’s main contribution has been designing of systems and institutions, which enable people to develop themselves, as he believed development of man, can best be achieved by putting in his hands, the instruments of development.  He believed that the greatest assets of this country, are its people and he has dedicated his life to the task of harnessing the power of the people in a manner which promotes their larger interests.

During his illustrious career, Dr. Verghese Kurien won many accolades and awards including the Ramon Magsasay Award for Community Leadership, Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, Krishi Ratna Award, Wateler Peace Prize Award of Carnegie Foundation, World Food Prize Laureate, International Person of the Year by the World Dairy Expo, Madison, Wisconsin, USA and the Padma Vibhushan.
