Here the physician evokes a possible multitude of

reasons. Notice the phrase 'like this woman.' The

first example given is that of standardization

protocol:

 

''The active ingredients contained in many herbal

remedies aren't standardized, so it could be that some

people, like this woman, may find themselves with

stronger concentrations that can be harmful,' he

says.''

Glycaemic Indices of Different Varieties of Rice Grown

in Sri Lanka

 

'Varieties of red raw rice are widely believed to have

a better nutritional quality. The physiological

effects of consuming different varieties of rice may

not be so. The glycaemic index has been developed as

an indicator of the physiological effects of foods. It

is the glycaemic response of a 50g carbohydrate

portion of food expressed as a percentage of that of a

standard. The objective of this study was to determine

the glycaemic indices of different varieties of rice

grown in Sri Lanka.

 

The glycaemic indices of varieties of red raw rice

varied between 56 and 73 and the variety Bg 350 had

the lowest glycaemic index. There was no significant

difference between mean glycaemic index of varieties

of white raw and some varieties of red raw rice (p =

0.2).

Parboiled varieties of red raw rice had a

significantly lower glycaemic index than white raw

rice (p = 0.04) and some of the red raw rice rice (p =

0.005). Conclusions: The glycaemic index cannot be

predicted from the color of the rice grain. Red

parboiled varieties of rice and Bg 350 can be

recommended for patients with diabetes.'

 

One must always watch both hands in the shell game.

They can operate at the speed of thought. That is to

say, the manipulation of the definition of food or

poison, in the diabetic's case. One may wish to ask

this woman just how or where she knew of rice as

medicine for diabetes.

 

Now that rice has been somewhat teased from the tangle

of other dangerous herbs, the report continues to

include another patient, whose self-therapy makes much

more sense within the context being presented:

 

'....reported that a 45-year-old woman experienced

liver failure after consuming almost 30 different

herbal remedies over several months.'

 

There is always already naturally quite a lot of

traffic inside hepatocytes without exacerbating the

situation idiscriminately.

 

''Because patients are not aware of the potential

danger of these alternative therapies, they may be

reluctant to admit to their use,' explains Chauhan.''

 

Here things get a bit tricky, because with the rice

model, our other patient should feel guilty of either

having an alimentary drive, or any knowledge of her

own. Conversely, perhaps the Prince of Knowledge is

Satan himself. Indeed, a trialogue, or even a

quadrilogue may be called for in order to decipher the

subtle effects of training. While with the one hand,

double-twists of truth. While the other speaks it

clearly. White eyes and forked tongues come to mind.
