The Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, is a hospital first based at Puttaparthi, the birth place of Satya Sai and a larger hospital is present in Whitefield, Bangalore, India. I was conscious that there were such rumors going on around by some other groups on Facebook that these things could be fake so I called to that phone number and enquired about it.
They answered the things well, and you initially have to send in the reports you have, through mail or Fax and then you would get a letter for appointment within a few days. There you can discuss about the problem and treatment and as the person whom I spoke to, said that there would be no charge taken for any kind of treatment that related to Cardiology and Neurology.

This just like any medical or dental college for post graduates, might be in search of cases for post graduation studies or research but in the end it would be the senior staff working on each case so you can help the poor and ask people to visit this hospital if they were not able to afford the normal fees. It may not be your family member or your closed ones, but you can visit any schools of Orphans and ask the management about the children who are in need of such treatment. It would be great as a cause.

Here is the Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences in Bangalore -

The person said that it is free for ages between 5 to 40, but the main help would be given to children who are under the age of 10 and who have a lot of life to live yet.

Aspirin

A research lately has shown that Tomato seeds has a gel which can be an alternative to Aspirin due to the same medicinal value. Professor Asim Dutta-Roy from the Rowett Institute in Aberdeen made the discovery. The gel in the seeds is tasteless, and colorless, but after testing, its proven that it has no effects on the negative side, but positively it helps in maintaining healthy blood circulation, and preventing unnecessary clotting of the blood.

Discovered by a British scientists, it has been patented as Fruitflow. Research shows that a smoother blood flow can be seen within three hours of taking Fruitflow and the results can last up to 18 hours, making it ideal for daily consumption.
So better to consume Tomatoes than Aspirin doses and get a better risk-free life.

The theme for 2007 and 2008 is Diabetes in Children and Adolescents. Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases to affect children. It can strike children of any age, even toddlers and babies. If not detected early enough in a child, the disease can be fatal or result in serious brain damage. Yet diabetes in a child is often completely overlooked: it is often misdiagnosed as the flu or it is not diagnosed at all.

World Diabetes Day is celebrated with accordance to birthday of Frederick Banting who, along with Charles Best, first conceived the idea which led to the discovery of insulin in 1922.
Be aware about the disease and keep learning how to keep away from it, and in what way you can teach the people in your family and the community about it.

Agence France-Presse reported that the study said the tumor risk was even greater in people who fall under categories like usage of cell phone on a single ear side, non-usage of hands-free devices, and people in rural areas. The research was done on 402 benign and 58 malignant parotid gland tumor patients in the time period of 2001-03 in Israel, and for the age group of 18 years or older. The risk factors depends mostly on the conditions like the rural area users etc. For regular mobile phone use, regardless of duration, the risk estimates for malignant and benign tumors were 0.7 (95% confidence interval: 0.4, 1.3) and 0.9 (95% confidence interval: 0.5, 1.5), respectively. The risk factor does not depend on the type of phones used, and also the time period for which it is used.

Earlier in 2004, there was a belief from a Swedish study that people who use a cell phone for more than 10 years might develop a rare benign tumor along a nerve on the side of the head where the phone is usually held to talk. Due to longer usage of cell phones, the radiations of cell phone effect the cells in the brain and lead to tumor.

Advice – For regular cell phone users, it is advised mostly to use hands-free devices to decrease the effect of cell phone radiations on the parts of the head and brain.
