I have been consuming Homeopathy medicine for more than five years. Since my childhood, I had been suffering from frequent throat infections due to tonsillitis . As any other parents, my father took me to a doctor who would prescribe antibiotics as a dosage as required. But still, it wasn't of much use. Then, he would increase the dosage for 5,7 and 10 days to the max. Sometimes, the throat infection was so intense that in spite of taking antibiotics for 10 days would not bring down the pain due to the puss and I had a great difficulty in swallowing food, water or even saliva :( This made him give injections for 5 days to reduce the throat pain.
Six years ago, I underwent tonsillitis surgery. After a couple of months, I had frequent throat infections and I was fed up. A few acquaintance suggested Homeopathy medicine would cure throat infections. Small sugar balls are mixed with the medicine in solution and are given in the tiny bottles. After taking these medicines for a month or two, I was relieved of throat infection. Ever since then, I have been taking only homeopathy medicine for cough, cold, fever....
After I came back from Udupi in May '08, I had ear infection with severe pain around my neck and ear due to Eustachian tube . This time, I took homeopathy medicine and was cured. But most of my friends and relatives had no belief in homeopathy and repeatedly insisted that I should have taken allopathic medicine and shouldn't rely on homeopathy in case of ears :| Though, I was cured, no one was ready to believe that I was cured and pestered me to visit a ENT specialist. I took an appointment and here I was:
Me: I was suffering with severe ear pain, last month. I took homeopathy medicine and no longer have any ear pain. I am able to hear perfectly.
Doctor: People still believe homeopathy can cure many diseases and don't turn up to us unless pestered.
Me: I have been taking homeopathy for years, now.
Doc: I do agree that it can cure diseases like piles, skin allergies and skin diseases.
[Carefully examines my nose, throat. Ear is examined with a help of a special torch and the vibrations of a tuning fork]
You have severe cold due to which had ear infection. Eustachian tube must be infected. Ears are perfectly fine and you don't have hearing problem.
[Explains about Eustachian tube which I didn't understand.]
Me: Even the homeopathy doctor told me that both my ears are fine and I need not worry.
[Smile with glee :D]
Doc: Are you allergic to antibiotics?
Me: Yes.
Doc: [scribbles few medicines]
Me: Thank you, doctor [..and leaves the place]
Every medicine is based on trial and error. Few diseases in some stream can be cured instantly. It is baseless to detest Ayurveda, Homoepathy or Allopathy. But most people believe Ayurveda and Homeopathy are obsolete and so are the people who follow and preach it. :(

Later, I was advised to take Septilin, the medicine in green color which appears like gems. No use. For an year, I also consumed Ayurvedic medicine which was a powder mixed with honey which was yummy. Any medicine taken with honey is always tasty :D I loved this medicine though it didn't cure.

Its been a long weekend for me. Four continuous days resting at home due to cold, cough, head ache and sore throat. On thursday night, having attended my cousin's wedding reception which had yummy ice cream, chats, paan and ask what not! Though, it was not a perfect weather for ice cream, I ate it heartfull.

Head ache, cough, sneeze and sore throat are the best companions which cannot live without each other. Though, I am taking medicines, they are reluctant to leave me alone! The climate is so chill that it drives me to sleep..yaawn! This evening, after sipping the steaming tomato soup with pepper and salt already added by Knorr, it was a great relief from those uninvited guests!
Now, I am ready to attend office tomorrow!

I found this weird article on chocolates can keep shoo cancer.
Doctors, please clarify!
My father always emphasizes the importance of lemon and orange fruit that keep you away from cancer. Since my childhood, I had been kept away from chocolates for the reasons being: they contain nothing but high calories, cause obesity, and they ruin your tooth. But this article published on rediff blew me hard and makes no sense. If chocolate can shoo cancer then wouldn't it be inviting diabetes and obesity?
Chocoholics have a justified reason to savour their favourite sweet - a new study has
found that a synthetic chemical based on a compound found in cocoa beans slows growth and accelerates destruction of human tumors.
"We have all heard that eating chocolate is good for you; this study suggests one reason why that might be true," says the study's lead author Min Kim, Ph.D, a research scientist in the Department of Oncology at Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Doctors, please clarify!
I have been a victim of frequent throat infection since my childhood. When I asked the doctor to suggest me a remedy for this, he adviced me to exercise regularly to stay fit and healthy.
Recently, I suffered severe ear and throat infection due to the weather change and I had to visit him for medicines. Before leaving the clinic, this is the conversation between the doctor and me.
Me: I have been skipping a lot, these days.
He: You should not skip.
Me: But its too good for health. It is one of the best methods to lose weight :) (I told with a smile)
He: Nope. It isn't. Many people think it is good to skip and lose weight. In turn, you tend to gain more fat if you skip frequently.
Me: (Puzzled :-|) Doctor, I do sweat a lot. I might have lost around two kilos, atleast.
He: That's good. But, I isn't good to skip.
Me: (Awestuck....????) I do drink a lot of water after skipping.
He: That is too bad. You shouldn't be doing that!
Me: I just do 200 skips daily for 20 minutes. I warm up for 10 mins before rope skipping. Later, I relax for 10 mins after I skip :)
He: I thought you were speaking of "meals skipping." (Now relaxed and smiled)
Me: Oh.. No. I was talking of "rope skipping."
He: It is good to rope skip. You should continue with it. (With a sigh of relief.)
