Hero In His own Way.

Aaron jackson is a hero who performs in a way different from others.
His "Planting Peace" is an organisation, that tries to bring peace to the world.
He does not arrest agitation, does not enter into politics, does not deploy his skill in eloquent oration, doed not discover , does not invent, does not do business.
But then what does he do?
He deworms children.
Are you surprised! Are you shocked!
Yes that is what he does.

Deworming stops malnutrition, decreases anemia.
With aid pouring from all quarters, as he became the hero of CNN in 2007, and also a featured guest in Anderson Cooper CNN -360, he was able to buy medication for deworming 3.2 million children in Haiti, aiding over a million in Sudan and Dominican Republic.

Aaron jackson is an expert in disbursing aid .
Did any one think of this equation?
Philanthrophists promoted educational institutions.
They built hospitals, They gave aid for marriages.
They came out with enormous advances towards charity,erecting old age homes.
But they never aimed at the kind of cause Aaron Jackson constituted.
His theory of prevention is better than cure , is a wonderul axiom.
Getting children out of the parasital infection, is a feat that makes my heart swell with pride.
At last , I have found a man, who really loves children, who really feels for their welfare, and who really toils for their well being.
He concentrates in the poorest of poor countries, where there is no money, no education and no awarenessof infection.

Health Care Reforms.

U.S House of representatives passed the Health care Reform Bill by a vote of 220-215
It is an important step forward.But will it become a law , depends on its passage in the house of Senate, to be posted in 2010. Thus Health care reforms will,become the primary issue in 2010.

The republicans are of the view, that the bill will enhance taxes in small business and medicare,increase family health care cost, and increase the deficit, and cut medicare.

Anti abortion amendment, brought forth by Democrats and catholic Bishop , restricting fed funds in respect to abortion got ratified..Abortions in extreme situations, that of rape , endangering mother's life could be allowed.

Barack Obama ,was a pleased man , and revelled on the success of the passage of the Bill.
It is a victory to his policy.

Ban On Medicines.

Recent medical advancement has called for a revamping of medications, that has been in vogue for nearly a quarter of a century.
Common cold, which was ignored as part of life earlier, gets the strongest treatment, at present.
If a baby sneezes, the mother dashes to the physician.
The doctor, in turn , prescribes, a syrup, a concotion of an antibiotic,belonging to the family of pencillin and sulpha.
The baby's immuniology gets affected, as the drug works on the nascent system.


A fever, which gets a grade, above the common cold, is pampered as the most exotic disease.Temperature in a body varies according to the weather and mostly in proportion to the constitution. It also expresses the immunity of the body.
Now a contrivance of fever, takes a honourable post. There is much fuss, much cry and much distress. The patient presumes that death is nearing. His kith and kin become jittery. There is a mad rush to the doctor, who scribbles a page full of medicines, one to control the temperature, one to clear the inection, one to cater to the body pain, and the final one to keep up the well being.The practioner also recommends invasive tests on blood sample, urine sample, in respect to. various infections.The patient pays the doctor a large fee, shells out a larger amount to medicine, largest flow goes to the lab.
Thus Fever gets anointed.


An indigestion, which occurs to everyone, at intervals ,as modern emoluments force one to take food in joints outside home, is posted in the highest pinnacle. The patient is hospitalised. He is put on drips for fear of dehydration. The hospital bill is enormous.

All these snobbery leads to the total weakenig of the system. The after effects are devastating. The resistance of the body suffers. There is an out beat of aflictions unheard off.The rigorous and continuous usage of medicines implicate a serpendous harm to the body.

Ater all the body is made of flesh and blood.
Excess medicatioon can be termed as an ignorant abuse of the body.

The ban on medicines prescribed to common ailments is to be welcomed whole heartedly.

Health Care.

I recall a popular saying
"When wealth is lost nothing is lost.
When health is lost something is lost,
When character is lost everything is lost"

Governance is focused on creating wealth.
Building the economy is a prime concern,
But caring for the people is still more essential.
The governments world over, the civic authorities in each and every city, should pay attention to health hazards that plague the country,
A few months back, there was a rapid epidemic of Swine Flu, or H1 N1 virus.
This unknown virus took many lives and created trembling fear.
The scare was so dominant, that one could see people walking with masks around.
The production of vaccine for this specific virus is still not sufficient to meet the world's demand.


Apart from this special infection, there are others like Malaria ,Dengue, Chickenkuniya, which are rampant in the tropical countries, most likely in India.
Certain other fevers, with symptoms of acute body pai, and swollen knees pose a great threat to the people

Health department which should come to the rescue, is lying dormant .The indiffernt attitude is much more critical than the disease .
The cause for such violent spread should be checked .
A swift move to eradicate the virus should be promoted.
Expenditure on health is most essential.
Expenses on war front is a spillover.
