Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Dear friends, I was just browsing and found this interesting link on Vitamin D and heart attacks: http://www.businessweek.com/lifestyle/content/healthday/634681.html Since Surya rules heart and since this is linked to a vitamin produced during exposture to sunlight, I thought it would be a good idea to share it with all of you. BTW, Wendy ji, remember the recent dscussion on Surya being karaka for Lagna and therefore body? Just remembered--my first nephew, born in 2002, had blood group O, which gave him birth jaundice. The ONLY cure according to doctors? Exposure to the rays of the rising or setting sun! ~~~~~~~~~ Balaji Narasimhan Author & Editor http://www.balaji.ind.in/ ~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Dear Balaji, First Jaundice in New Borns is quite common. Severity of Jaundice varies. Blood Group O as such did not give your Nephew Jaundice, but the fact that it probably was different from the mother's blood Type may have been the real reason. Treatment of severe Jaundice in New Born Infants by exposing them to Sun is neither preferred nor fool-proof. Severe Jaundice can be dangerous if not treated quickly and hence the only way to ensure this with an infant is to expose them Naked to Sun (which is not a good idea for obvious reasons). Exposing to diffused Sun Light (early morning or setting sun) takes care of not causing Sun burn, but the danger of lesser exposure than required to bring down Bilirubin levels still exists. Hence the best method of treating Jaundice in New Borns is to expose them to a special " light " that helps reduce Bilirubin levels below the danger levels where they can affect the Brain. These special " lights " are usually available in hospitals.  Regards,  -Manoj  ________________________________ Balaji Narasimhan <sherlockbalaji jyotish-vidya Wed, January 6, 2010 10:14:25 PM Vitamin D and heart attacks  Dear friends, I was just browsing and found this interesting link on Vitamin D and heart attacks: http://www.business week.com/ lifestyle/ content/healthda y/634681. html Since Surya rules heart and since this is linked to a vitamin produced during exposture to sunlight, I thought it would be a good idea to share it with all of you.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Dear Balaji and All, ///BTW, Wendy ji, remember the recent dscussion on Surya being karaka for Lagna and therefore body? Just remembered--my first nephew, born in 2002, had blood group O, which gave him birth jaundice. The ONLY cure according to doctors? Exposure to the rays of the rising or setting sun!/// Just a quick comment here as I'm recovering from a night in emergency (7th Jan) and still feeling a little worn out. Hope to be brighter after a weekend of rest. I awoke at around 2:00AM with possibly the worst episode of Atrial Fibrillation I've had so far. An ambulance was called immediately and around 4:00AM the doctors injected a drug that literally stopped the heart for a few seconds in the hope that normal rhythm would be restored when it started again. It did, thank goodness, but the episode has left me feeling quite weak. I mention this now to show the importance of transits... Sookshmantar of Venus (dispositor of 4th lord) running. Combust Venus occupies 8th whilst also combust in transit (12th house). In connection with your post, Balaji, I have been taking vitamin D for some time now. But, you know, in spite of whatever precautions we might take, what is destined to happen WILL HAPPEN, there can be no doubt of this.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Dear Mrs Wendy, Thanks for your comments. My comments were not mine but those of the Amercian association of Pediatrics. It could be the recommendations are a bit different due to the cold months in NA.  http://www.aap.org/family/Jaundicefaq.htm I produce the relevant Q & A below: Q: How is harmful jaundice prevented? A: Most jaundice requires no treatment. When treatment is necessary, placing your baby under special lights while he or she is undressed will lower the bilirubin level. Depending on your baby’s bilirubin level, this can be done in the hospital or at home. Jaundice is treated at levels that are much lower than those at which brain damage is a concern. Treatment can prevent the harmful effects of jaundice.  Putting your baby in sunlight is not recommended as a safe way of treating jaundice. Exposing your baby to sunlight might help lower the bilirubin level, but this will only work if the baby is completely undressed. This cannot be done safely inside your home because your baby will get cold, and newborns should never be put in direct sunlight outside because they might get sunburned.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Dear Mamoj, If I may interject here. ///It could be the recommendations are a bit different due to the cold months in NA./// Weather, NA or other locations of baby and mother has nothing to do with blood incompatibility. You are speculating against written material because of your own knowledge of family members experiences. It might be worth your while to explore in detail the circumstances of blood inter-relations with your family to see why you deny any problems. The link below and others given in exchange of posts here on JV clearly outline what Jaundice is and its possibility of complications due to blood incompatibility. No where is it stated that weather or location has anything to do with it. RH factor incompatibility is contradictive to survival. O blood group is severe - if complications of bilirubin arise. All other A-B groups prove to be less severe. Little to moderate mostly. Please go back and read the link I provided that outlines ALL the causes of bilirubin and its effects.

The doctor made a diagnosis and gave a reason for the same, which not everybody may agree with. But the treatment worked, so let's leave it at that. Let's not be like economists and wonder if something is possible in theory after it has been shown to be true in practice! :-) In November, I had two teeth extracted (On the 22nd, when neecha Kuja aspected transit Chandra). The doctor I met was one of those nature lovers--he gave only a few tablets and told me to eat oranges for antioxidannts, milk for calcium, dal for proteins, etc. Somebody may argue that it is better to take tablets for such things, especially since you can't move your jaws much--but since everything turned out right in the end, we have to accept that the doctor's wisdom worked! :-) ~~~~~~~~~ Balaji Narasimhan Author & Editor http://www.balaji.ind.in/ ~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Dear Mrs. Wendy, Baliji and All, Very good to see your post here, Mrs. Wendy. Hope you continue to gain your strength. Baliji - I take Vit D also and it is true it makes a difference in building strong bones and aiding heart matters beside immunity of vitality - which is under the control of Sun. In 2008 my Vit D level was very defunct at 11. Normal is 35. Took 4,000 units a day for over a year. Had my level checked in August 2009 before heart AV ablation and implant of pacemaker. It read 86. the doctors felt it was too high so cut back to 2,000 units a day. Had my Vit D level checked last week. It is now 32. which is mid range. But because I have many heart issues as you know as well as others, I am now back to taking 4,000 units a day. The problem with Vit D is it is a fat soluable vitamin and getting too much of it is just has bad if not worse for toxcity as too low. However, what a difference in my immunity!! Across the board it has helped greatly. Now science is saying that levels up to 100 are ok and not toxic. My husband's Vit D level checked last month with taking 4,000 units for 6 months read 78 and his doctor said to continue with that dosage and let the levels rise a bit more. He hasn' had any heart problems or colds this past year or allergy symptoms. His bone difficulties have lessen too. YEAH!! Considering the stress he is under daily trying to keep a company going in this economy has greatly been helped with Vit D for (Sun's) vitality. His Sun is ruled by Rohini/Moon which happens to be debilitated in Scorpio with Ketu.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Dear Uttara, ///Very good to see your post here, Mrs. Wendy. Hope you continue to gain your strength./// Thank you :-) Although things have settled down physically, what I've found (this time) is that the emotional/psychological trauma has not been so easy to overcome...somewhat reluctant to go to bed at night for fear of another major episode. However, my children told me about a health supplement called 'Purple Carrot', and yesterday, having popped into the health food store for something else, I saw a bottle on the shelf and decided to try it. I mixed up a glass yesterday afternoon and was content to go to bed around 9:30PM falling asleep quickly without any anxiety at all. Mind you, I was up again just after 3:00AM, but none-the-less I'd passed a big hurdle... Although I'm not taxing myself (mentally or physically) at the moment, I find it helpful to stay mentally active...keeps my mind away from the recent ordeal.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Dear Mrs Wendy, I doff my hat to you in deep appreciation at the way you are handling the after effects of your recent traumatic episode. I am not qualified to render any advice on any matter particularly when it concerns the mind over matter. But I shall keep you in my 'humble' daily prayers requesting the almighty to help you bounce back to the normal ebullient 'Mrs Wendy' that we all know of. Just by the way,(in passing), is the episode by any chance in sync with Moon's (adverse if any) transit vis-a-vis your 'Moon-sign' You needn't reply now. Take care.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Dear Uttara Ji, I think you misunderstood my comment. Please kindly see the context. I said cold months specifically due to AAP's comment about the following, which I have already posted: " Exposing your baby to sunlight might help lower the bilirubin level, but this will only work if the baby is completely undressed. This cannot be done safely inside your home because your baby will get cold " . I agree the blood incompatibility has nothing to do with the weather, but, clearly the above comment does not hold good in warm places. Hence in parts of India it might quite be possible in most months of the year to expose the child to sunlight without getting cold. My comment was specifically directed to the Q & A question I had pasted below from the AAP website. Hope that clears it.  Regards,  -Manoj  ________________________________ Uttara <muttaraphalguni jyotish-vidya Sat, January 9, 2010 10:11:01 PM Re: Vitamin D and heart attacks  Dear Mamoj, If I may interject here. ///It could be the recommendations are a bit different due to the cold months in NA./// Weather, NA or other locations of baby and mother has nothing to do with blood incompatibility. You are speculating against written material because of your own knowledge of family members experiences. It might be worth your while to explore in detail the circumstances of blood inter-relations with your family to see why you deny any problems. The link below and others given in exchange of posts here on JV clearly outline what Jaundice is and its possibility of complications due to blood incompatibility. No where is it stated that weather or location has anything to do with it. RH factor incompatibility is contradictive to survival. O blood group is severe - if complications of bilirubin arise. All other A-B groups prove to be less severe. Little to moderate mostly. Please go back and read the link I provided that outlines ALL the causes of bilirubin and its effects.

Guest guest Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 Dear Manoj, I clearly understand now how you are intrepreting the quoted material below. However, the quote is talking about body temperature and not location or weather. Let me explain. Babies when they are born and for several months can not regulate their body temperature as effectively as a child, a teenager or an adult. This is why when they are born they are swaddled tightly not only for security but to retain their heat. Even when the baby is taken over to the exam table at birth, it is in a well controled environment of heat when it is examined. The nursery too is heat controlled along with the babies being swaddled. When the babies are given to the mothers for bonding and nursing, they are transported to them in their isolettes which are temperature controled. Once babies come home, their environment might be very warm, even hot and stuffy without much air circulation or it can be cooler or cold. Which ever and whatever circumstances aside - because babies are mostly sleeping with little activity it is neccessry to keep them bundle so they do not loose their body heat. As you know all human beings in a non activity or dosing or sleeping state drop their body temperature. This is why even in very hot humid atmospheres one would during the day wear light weight fabric and especially at night will continue to do the same to help keep some body temperature and facilitate perspiration (the cooling of the body). Or at least cover up with a sheet; whether there is a circulating fan or there is air conditioning. In colder months one covers up more because we as humans tend to loose more heat and energy due to the cold dry air. So, with babies, it's important to keep them swaddled in the first month especially. Having to take their clothes off to receive the rays of the sun to break down the red blood cells, to excrete from the liver, leaves the baby cold, indoors, if left to long. Like more than a few minutes. Therefore the Academy of Peds. is advising that a baby will be too cold trying to receive the rays of the sun in the house. Outside in the rays of the Sun is better, but as you have pointed out, some areas are warmer than others. Actually, babies should not be put directly into the rays of the sun without proper protection of their eyes and of course as we know today,it is detrimental for all humans to lay exposed for any lenght of time in the direct rays of the sun exposing one to severe burns and possible skin cancer development. So, what the quote is saying is that without proper observation and timing, undressing the baby inside without a controlled heated environment, runs the risk of the baby loosing too much body heat. In adults if one's temperature drops to 97 one is chilly, if it drops to 96 trouble begins, if it drops to 94 critical, to 92 life threatening. For babies, they can loose what little body heat they have very quickly and once heat is lost it requires a very long time to heat them up again. Baby's survival is at great risk. Having baby inside in front of a South or West window undressed, is best depending on the time of day but for only short periods at a time. say 3-5mins. Because of the risk of loosing too much body heat or being over heated and burned, especially with the reflection of the window. One would have to do this several times a day to get the benifit needed for the liver to breakdown the bilirubin. So having a baby in a controlled heated isolette with photo therapy is best for those that need it the most and for longer durations. In the isolette too, the babies eyes are wrapped or little black eye gloggles are placed over the eyes for protection. (Ultra-violet rays). The baby is undressed completely accept for diapers. The diapers are left on not so much for easier clean up, but to help retain some heat to the baby naturally as its temeprature lowers while being idle and/or sleeping. Now, for centuries, babies have been put outside in the sun for a number of reasons. Even indirect sun is good for baby for other issues. But, again, the evironment needs to be properly looked after so baby does not burn, heat up to much or have eyes exposed to the rays. Nor lose its body heat (even in hot outdoor climates). This was learned over time by mothers, families and doctors. Today, we have so many conveniences and much of the USA is airconditioned. so, having baby inside in front of a window presents its own risks of burning or damage to eyes or heating up to much, or if idle, loosing too much body heat in a very short time. Even awake, baby is lying in a prone position without much movement and can drop several degrees of heat within a matter of seconds. Ever take a newborn baby out of a sink basin after a warm bath and see them turn blue and shivering before one can get their towel suffciently wrapped around them? It's that quick! even in toddlers. So, the Acadmey is stating a correct reality. Having babies at home placed in a window with only a diaper on, can, if not managed well and closely supervised, expose the baby to too much body heat lose. Not to mention other risks. Babies that have a minimum of billirubin can benefit greatly by being home in a window for very short periods as stated above and due extremely well as the bellirubin is nudged to excrete through the liver. The article I believe was talking about moderate to borderline high billirubin which needs more Sun time and naked body exposure time to be effective, often being contradictive to baby loosing to much body heat at home. Generally, when babies are high risk, they need 12 hrs on and 12 hrs off of phototherapy in a controlled heated isolette or incubator.
