Informative.

On Tue, Apr 24, 2012 at 3:06 PM, raman raman_arunacha...@yahoo.com wrote:

 Wild Guava is a medium sized deciduous tree, up to 20 m tall, the leaves
 of which turn red in the cold season. It is the Kumbhi of Sanskrit writers,
 and appear to have been so named on account of the hollow on the top of the
 fruit giving it somewhat the appearance of a water-pot. Wild pigs are very
 fond of the bark, and that it is used by hunters to attract them. An
 astringent gum exudes from the fruit and stem, and the bark is made into
 coarse cordage. The Tamil name Puta-tanni-maram signifies †water-
 bark-tree,†in allusion to the exudation trickling down the bark in dry
 weather. Bark surface flaking in thin strips, fissured, dark grey; crown
 spreading. Leaves arranged spirally, often clustered at the apices of
 twigs, simple, broadly obovate, tapering at base, margin toothed, stipules
 small, caducous. Flowers in an erect raceme at the end of branches. Flowers
 are large, white. Sepals are 4, petals 4, free. Stamens are many, connate
 at base; disk annular; ovary inferior, 4-5-locular with many ovules in 2
 rows per cell, style 1. Fruit a large, many-seeded drupe, globose to
 depressed globose, crowned by the persistent sepals. Seedling with hypogeal
 germination; cotyledons absent (seed containing a swollen hypocotyl); shoot
 with scales at the first few nodes.

  the first one is a recent hatch- ling I think... its wings are intact...
 the one with the open wings has seen better days... there are tears on its

 Johns Hopkins Update -
 This is an extremely good article. Everyone should read it.

 AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY',
 BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, *JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY
 STARTING TO TELL YOU* THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

 Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:

 1. *Every person has **cancer cells** **in the body*. These cancer
 cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have
 multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients
 that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after
 treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the
 cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable
 size.

 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a
 person's lifetime.

 3. *When the person's immune system* is strong the cancer
 cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and
 forming tumors.

 4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has*
 **nutritional deficiencies*. These could be due to genetic,
 but also to *environmental, **food** **and lifestyle factors*.

 5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies,* **changing*
 *diet* to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day
   and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

 6. Chemotherapy *involves poisoning* the rapidly-growing
 cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells
 in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can
 cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

 7.. Radiation while destroying cancer cells *also* burns, scars
 and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

 8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often
 reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of
 chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor
 destruction.

 9. When the body has too much toxic burden from
 chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either
 compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb
 to various kinds of infections and complications.

 10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to
   mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.
   Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other
   sites.

 11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer
   cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. *

 *CANCER CELLS FEED ON:*

 a. Sugar substitutes like *NutraSweet**, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made*
 *with Aspartame and it is harmful*. A better natural substitute
 would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small
 amounts. *Table salt* has a chemical added to make it white in
 color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or *sea salt*.

 b. *Milk *causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
 gastro-intestinal tract. *Cancer feeds on mucus*. By cutting
 off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer
 cells are being starved.

 c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. *A meat-based
 diet* is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat,
 like chicken. Meat also contains livestock
 antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all
 harmful, especially to people with cancer.

 d. A diet made of *80%* fresh vegetables and juice, whole
 grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into
 an *alkaline environment*. About 20% can be from cooked
 food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live
 enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
 cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance
 growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building
 healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most
 vegetables including be an sprouts) and eat some raw
 vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. *Enzymes are destroyed* at
 temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..

 e. Avoid *coffee, tea, and chocolate*, which have high
 caffeine *Green tea* is a better alternative and has cancer
 fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or
 filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap
 water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

 12. *Meat protein* is difficult to digest and

 Oh yes Usha di,
  now I remember when I was photographing this plant in California, a person
 came out and asked me why I am taking photograph of this useless tree. I was
 surprised to find an American speaking like that, because otherwise they are
 so courteous that when they see a stranger on the road they would never miss
 smiling or saying hello. Many a times they would stop and ask me about the
 plants I was taking photographs of, and very happy when I would tell them
 about my profession and love for photography. I have been wondering why that
 person spoke like that.  Now that you have told me I can connect.
 And yes, Albizia julibrissin is generally grown in parks but not in or
 outside the compounds of people. There lies the secret.
