Beating back the brain attack


I had a severe headache last night couldn’t sleep whole night for the pain. So I went and had a bath around 6AM in the morning but failed to manage the pain. My wife woke up at 7 AM and found me so disturbed with the pain. She poured some Navaratna menthol hair oil on my head and gave me a massage. The pain reduced little bit after the massage and then I slept.

Today while reading an article about brain attacks in a local magazine, I thought of writing something about this common and highly increasing problem.

Every year millions of people from around the world are dying by strokes. Though people often thinks that strokes happen only to the elderly people, but 20 to 30 percent of all strokes occur in people under 45 years of age. Strokes are the second most common cause of death after cancer. Heart disease comes a close third.

In fact since most strokes kill brain cells from a lack of oxygen to the brain, strokes cause more disability in adults then any other disease. After a stroke some people can’t walk, others may have difficulty seeing or talking. People are affected differently, depending on what part of the brain was hit and how large an area was affected.

Most of the strokes are ischaemic, caused by a blockage in an artery leading to the brain. Around 20 percent of strokes are haemorrhagic, caused by bleeding in the brain or in the space between the brain and the skull.

Many of the same factors behind heart disease contribute to stroke. High blood pressure and high cholesterol can cause artery walls to become coated with plaque. In the narrowed arteries, a blood clot can form on the plaque and stop the flow of blood or move in to a brain artery and block it. Very high BP can also cause blood vessels in the brain to burst, resulting in haemorrhagic stroke. Uncontrolled diabetes, excessive weight, smoking all adds to the risk. Heart disease itself can increase your chance of having a stroke.

Treatment:

An MRI or CT scan can confirm the presence and location of a clot in a key artery leading to the brain. Doctors now have drugs that can break up a clot and help someone with ischaemic strokes. But the same medicine cannot be used for a haemorrhagic stroke; it makes the bleeding worse. Clot busting drugs only works if they are given within three hours of the onset of symptoms.

How do you recognize a stroke:

The main symptoms come on suddenly. They may include weakness, confusion, and difficulty in speaking or understanding speech and an inability to see properly. Some people also get a sudden, severe headache or experience dizziness. The symptoms depend on which part of the brain is affected.

As soon as you have the attack, rush to a hospital, which have an imaging center for MRI or CT scan. Once the doctor establishes that the patient has had a stroke, and which kind of stroke it is, they can determine the course of treatment.

Early warning signal:

Some strokes go unnoticed because they are short episodes lasting up to 24 hours. These are sometime calls stroke warnings or mini strokes. The medical term is TIA. The symptoms of TIA are like those of regular strokes, but they don’t last long. Because people generally seem to recover well from TISs, they often ignore them or put off doing anything about them.

It is important to pay attention to mini strokes. Even when people have a mini stroke and recover with no disability. According to a medical journal, 30 percent of people who have TIAs gone on to have full-blown stroke with in five years.

So for stroke patients, timely hospitalization is the key to recovery.

Wonders / Miracles of 21th Century.

CHRISTIANITY:

A statue of virgin Mary supposedly shed tears of blood in Switzerland in 1992.
In a Chapel in Hungary, a mysterious bright glow shaped as a human figure appeared at the alter.

Various holy leaders like Pastor Benny Hinn reportedly perform miracles of healing by invoking the spirit og God.

ISLAM:

Allah’s name was said to be appear on the oceans, as seen through satellite images in 2004.

In the aftermath of the great Tsunami of 2005 which rocked Indonesia, it was found that many mosques had incredibly survived while the surrounding buildings were destroyed.

HINDUISM:

Many healing miracles have been reported to be performed by Shirdi Sai Baba and Chaitanya Mahaprabu.

The famous Banke Bihari temple of Vrindavan is famous because it is said that lord Krisna dwells in the premises and performs the raas in the nearby Madhuban every night.

These are all recent miracles that happened in between 10-12 years. I’ve got the details from “The Hindu”- a leading daily newspaper from India.

Islam:What the West Should Know


Like other religions, Islam sees the universe in terms of good and evil; but unlike other religions, in Islam good and evil have expressly political significance. Islamic theology divides the world into two spheres locked in perpetual conflict: the House of Islam and the House of War. The House of Islam embraces those lands where Islamic law (Sharia) is the law of the land, while the House of War comprises the rest of the world. The House of Islam is enjoined by Allah to make war upon the House of War until the latter is permanently assimilated into the former.

The term jihad, which literally means “struggle”, denotes the military effort to bring new lands into the House of Islam. While the state of war between the Islamic and non-Islamic worlds is sometimes hot and sometimes cold, it is permanent until Sharia law reigns over the entire planet.



It is crucial to understand that Islam’s division of the world into the House of Islam and the House of War is not merely a question of practice but of principle. In the Islamic worldview, Sharia law (which comprises the commandments of the Koran and the precedents and teachings of Muhammad) is the only legitimate means of organizing society; any other social or political system violates the edicts of Allah himself. While every religion distinguishes between believers and unbelievers, Islam draws a capital distinction between political-legal regimes: those in submission (Islam) to Allah’s law and those in rebellion.



Because most Americans and Europeans misunderstand the political nature of Islam, they talk about Islamic terrorism as if it bears no relationship to Islam proper. But the notion that authentic religion in general is naturally peaceful is a Western prejudice rather than a demonstrated truth. In order to understand the origins of Islamic violence, we must be willing to discard many comforting assumptions and try to see the world from an Islamic point of view. Acquiring a basic grasp of the Islamic worldview does not require learning Arabic or taking a pilgrimage to Mecca. But it does require investment of some time and thought to become familiar with the origins and history of Islam and the life of its founder, the Prophet Muhammad. Few Westerners have made such an investment, preferring instead to assume blindly that Muslims practicing their faith are not so very different from the true believers of other religions. That assumption is not only wrong – it is deadly.



Of course, Muslims (like Christians, Jews, and members of any religion) often fail to understand or live up to the standards of their faith. But what distinguishes Islam from other religions is that when it is correctly understood and practiced, Islam actively seeks the subjugation or destruction of everything that is not itself. Non-Islamic religions may seek the conversion or evangelization of others, and their devotees may employ force against others from time to time.
