ஒரு சிறிய பரிசோதனை மரங்களின் முக்கியத்துவத்தை உணர்த்துகிறது.
கீழே இருக்கும் படங்களை பாருங்கள் மரங்களின் அருமையை உணருங்கள்
செடிகள் நிறைந்த தொட்டியின் வழியே கீழே இறங்கும் தண்ணீர் வெளியே வரும்போது தெளிவாக இருக்கிறது.
அதே வெறும் மண், அல்லது காய்ந்த இலையுடன் கூடிய மண் வழியே வரும் தண்ணீர் கலங்கலாக இருக்கிறது.
நாம் காடுகளையும், மரங்களையும் அழித்துவிட்டு ஆற்று நீர் ஏன் கலங்கலாக உள்ளது என்று கவலைபடுகிறோம்.
நிறைய மரங்களை வளர்ப்போம், காடுகளைக் காப்போம் தூய்மையான தண்ணீரைப் பெறுவோம்...

On Fecal Trnsplants
Earlier articles 'How Microbes Define and Defend Us'(http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/13/sc...3&ref=science_ by Carl Zimmer and 'Fecal trnsplants to cure clostridium difficile infection'(http://scienceblogs.com/aetiology/20...-to-cure-clos/) by Tara Smith. A more recent article in Discover 'Tap The Healing Power of Poop'(http://discovermagazine.com/2012/oct...-power-of-poop) says:
"And C. difficile colitis is just the start. An Australian pioneer in fecal transplants, Thomas Borody, has performed the procedure in more than 1,900 patients, and has also found success treating irritable bowel syndrome, profound constipation, and otherwise intractable Crohn’s disease. “Crohn’s will often slowly regress with repeated fecal infusions,” Borody says. With typical Australian humor, he concludes, “It’s a whole new form of therapootics.""
This seems to be the kind of research that can be done cheaply/

ardvark, an African mammal. The name means “earth pig” in Afrikaans and refers to its resemblance to a pig and to its habit of digging. The aardvark is 4 to 7 feet (1.4 to 2.1 m) long, including the muscular, 2-foot (60-cm) tail. It is about 2 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs 110 to 155 pounds (50 to 70 kg). The aardvark has a long, narrow head, long ears, and a blunt snout. It has tubular teeth that grow continuously throughout its life. The aardvark's forefeet have large, sharp claws, which are used to dig rapidly in soil or sand. The thick skin is covered with bristly, brownish- or yellowish-gray hairs.
The aardvark hunts at night for termites and ants. It uses its long, sticky tongue to gather the insects from their nests.
Aardvarks are hunted for their edible flesh and for their hide, which is used to make leather clothing and bracelets

Alopecia areata, I do not know the Tamil name but in Telugu it is పేనుకొరుకుడు. I had this once and rubbed the scalp with hibiscus flowers and it disappeared ( I remembered the treatment from my father, I think). Then two years I recommended it to an acquaintance and she too did not have any problems later. Search పేనుకొరుకుడు and there seem to be several such treatments. Search for Alopecia areata too for different perspectives. I am reluctant to make recommendations on medical matters; perhaps more knowledgeable people can comment.

Two on gluten. From the first "Four years, 22 specialists, three doctors and several unfortunate forays into the world of alternative medicine later, Townson was able to get most of her symptoms under control after she realised through her own research that gluten - a protein found in wheat, barley and rye - seemed to be causing her ailments." http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/life...#ixzz3279nd8al
