SQ3R Study Method

• Use the SQ3R Study Method
  
  SQ3R stands for Survey, Question, Read, Recite, and Review.
  
  Survey - glance ahead and scan the material so that you will have an idea of what you are supposed to be learning - some textbooks will have a list of objectives that tell you exactly what to concentrate on!
  
  Question - after you read each section, ask yourself questions to make certain that you understand what you have read - if the section has a title, make that into a question (for example, your question for this section could be "What is the SQ3R study method?).
  
  Read - as you read the sections, make certain that you understand the terms and information - use the glossary or dictionary if you need to. You can also write notes and copy any information that you think you might have trouble remembering.
  
  Recite - yes, really! - reciting the information out loud helps to make sure you really understand the material, and helps move the information from your short-term memory into your long-term memory.
  
  Review - go over the material again when you are finished, to check your understanding and be sure you can remember everything.
  
  This method of studying might seem to take longer to get through each section, but you will see that it results in much better understanding. You will remember what you have studied for longer, and will do better in class than if you just read over it once

DENGUE FEVER REMEDY

Dengue Fever Remedy

I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after 15 liters of blood transfusion.

His father was so worried that he seeks another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he gave his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. From a platelet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around.

Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf.. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like "Won Low Kat". But it works.

*Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue*

You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.

A friend of mine had dengue last year.. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.

Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!!

Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heat.

Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It's great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients.

Furthermore it's so easily available.
Blend them and squeeze the juice! It's simple and miraculously effective!!

Top 8 Ayurvedic Herbs

Top 8 Ayurvedic Herbs

Ayurveda is an ancient system of medicine used in India and other Eastern countries. Much like Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Ayurvedic approach is holistic, and looks to address the root cause of disease, as opposed to simply treating a list of symptoms. Ayurvedic herbs are commonly used as foods or culinary spices, and help to restore balance to the body. In Ayurvedic terms, when disease is present, it is the result of an imbalance in one of the three doshas, or the body’s vital energy. These are pitta (fire), vata (air) and kapha (water). Herbs and food alike are used as part of a therapeutic regimen which may also include yoga, meditation and cleansing techniques. The following herbs are considered a few of the most important remedies in Ayurvedic medicine. They can be commonly found in most natural health food stores and herbal markets. Remember holistic treatments such as herbs are meant to complement, and not replace medical care. Talk to your health care practitioner before using herbs for medicinal purposes.

01. ASHWAGANDHA Although traditionally an Ayurvedic herb, ashwagandha is now commonly used in herbal medicine throughout the West.

03. CORIANDER (CILANTRO) Coriander, or dhanyaka as it is referred to in Ayurveda, is a common culinary spice in both Asian and Latin cuisine. The fresh leaves are called cilantro, while the ground seeds are called coriander. Both contain natural anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. The herb is used in Ayurveda to treat indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, fevers, respiratory infections and allergies. It is also a natural chelating agent, and has been used to help remove heavy metals from the body.

Bibhitaki is likewise used to treat digestive disorders, including Chron’s disease, intestinal parasites and gall stones. Haritaki is used specifically for constipation, but is also effective for hemorrhoids, dysentery and parasites or worms. Together these three herbs make a powerful internal cleansing remedy. They help restore balance and improve regularity. However, they are used only on a period basis due to their cathartic effect.

08. TURMERIC Turmeric, or haridra, is the Indian spice which gives curry its golden color. It has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years, but it has also been studied scientifically in modern day.
