POSITIVE THINKING: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

There is an ongoing process of individual consciousness being dissolved into cosmic consciousness. This is called holistic evolution. The fact that holistic evolution is an ongoing process is a great reassurance to all of us!

We the individuals are actually the indivisible parts of cosmic consciousness. But as we are oblivious to it; we are rendered isolated from this �whole� the cosmic consciousness! This isolation deprives us of the supply of vitality and wholesomeness! Moreover; being in isolation; we enter into conflict with the �whole�; the cosmic consciousness; even as we are only part of it! This conflict makes us restless!

Those who are one with the �whole�; guide, inspire and empower us to reestablish our oneness with the �whole� through the universally acceptable and practicable process of NAMASMARAN!

What is NAMASMARAN?

It is remembering the name of God.

What is God?

God is actually the same as cosmic consciousness or the �whole� that simultaneously occupies our internal and external universe!

NAMASMARAN is the opposite of being oblivious to God, the �whole�; the cosmic consciousness i.e. the true self!
In other words; being oblivious to true self is the root cause of stress and being in NAMASMARAN is; being one with the �whole� in harmony; and conquering the stress!
Interestingly; the true self of ours is not accessible to our ordinary and superficial states of consciousness and that is why we are isolated, we are in conflict and we are in stress! This is why and this is how; our �ego� is conflict with our true self; and NAMASMARAN is the freedom from the �ego� and freedom from the conflict! Hence it is the panacea for stress!

Hence; a firm conviction and latter the experience of the victorious power of NAMASMARAN is the key to true and holistic positive thinking!

In absence of this; we remain shackled in our ego and in conflict with �whole�! Our attempts towards positive thinking are born out of ego; and remain subjective, feeble, unrealistic and hence pathetic! Alternatively; �our positive thinking� is actually heinous and fanatic and is viciously �negative� to the majority!

Surrogacy is a form of assisted reproductive treatment (ART) in which a woman carries a child in her uterus on behalf of another person or couple. A surrogacy arrangement or surrogacy agreement is the carrying of a pregnancy for intended parents. A surrogate mother is someone who conceives, carries and gives birth to a child for another person or couple (intended parents or commissioning parents). The surrogate mother agrees to give the child to that person or couple after the birth. Intended parents may seek a surrogacy arrangement when either pregnancy is medically impossible or pregnancy risks present an unacceptable danger to the mother's health. Monetary compensation may or may not be involved in these arrangements. If the surrogate receives compensation beyond reimbursement of medical and other reasonable expenses, the arrangement is considered commercial surrogacy; otherwise, it is referred to as altruistic. The legality and costs of surrogacy vary widely between jurisdictions, sometimes resulting in interstate or international surrogacy arrangements.

There are two main types of surrogacy, gestational surrogacy and traditional surrogacy. In gestational surrogacy, the pregnancy results from the transfer of an embryo created by in vitro fertilization (IVF), in a manner so the resulting child is genetically unrelated to the surrogate. Gestational surrogates are also referred to as gestational carriers. In traditional surrogacy, the surrogate is impregnated naturally or artificially, but the resulting child is genetically related to the surrogate.

Who can opt for surrogacy procedure?

Surrogacy may be appropriate, if you have a medical condition that makes it impossible or dangerous to achieve pregnancy & to give birth, which includes

� Absence or non-development of womb
� Recurrent IVF Failure (implantation failure) OR recurrent miscarriages
� Intrauterine adhesions
� Life threatening medical conditions involving heart, liver or blood diseases, in which pregnancy is contraindicated.

For any surrogacy arrangement there needs to be intended parents, surrogate mother, egg donor and the sperm donor as the case may be. If either of the parent is not able to contribute his sperm or her egg then the help of the donor will be taken. Surrogate mothers role is very important and crucial in the whole process of surrogacy. Due care and search must be taken before selecting a surrogate mother.

Surrogacy clinics in India have very meticulous and stringent criteria for choosing a surrogate. The surrogates have to meet certain conditions like

1. The surrogates are between the age of 21-35 years.

2. Indian Surrogates are married with previous normal deliveries and healthy babies.

3. Screened thoroughly for infectious diseases like Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, VDRL and genetic conditions. A complete investigation is done into the medical history, blood transfusion history of the surrogate, and her family�s medical history is examined. The surrogate must have a normal obstetric history (no miscarriages, no antenatal, intranatal and postnatal complications in previous pregnancies). A detailed pelvic sonography is done and other tests for uterine receptivity are done to ensure maximum chances of success.

4. Surrogates in India are screened for thalassemia, too.

5. Indian Surrogates are checked for any addictions or substance abuse.

Most of the surrogates are married and have children. However, for some exceptional cases, there are few who are widows and have children and are willing to do surrogacy. This is done on the requirement of certain clients whose country�s laws allow easier return of the baby with the intended parents if the child is born to a surrogate mother who is single.

Going for surrogacy is a very big decision. It involves lot of ethical, moral, and also financial issues. This is the reason you need to be very careful while taking a step ahead in choosing surrogates. The surrogacy is a very expensive process too. But for your knowledge there are also affordable surrogacy options available in many places. There are few countries where the cost of surrogacy is not that high as it is in some countries. So those who are willing to go for affordable surrogacy can think of surrogacy abroad.

India has become the top international surrogacy destination for couples and even single men and women who have not been able to have children through natural means. The success of the procedure in India, is greatly attributed to the cutting edge technology adopted by the fertility clinics in India, highly qualified fertility specialists, social acceptance of surrogacy, and low cost of surrogacy, all leading to India�s high success rate in gestational surrogacy.

Commercial surrogacy is legal in India, as recognized by the Supreme Court of India in 2002. Now we can say that India is one among the emerging country as a leader in international surrogacy and fertility. Indian surrogates have been increasingly popular with fertile couples in industrialized nations because of the relatively low cost. Indian clinics are at the same time becoming more competitive. Surrogacy is cheaper in India than any other western world. Surrogacy is an expensive process and lots of monetary and emotional values will be attached to it. Hence before deciding to opt for surrogacy you need to take many considerations in mind so that the decision is not regrettable.

The cheaper availability of surrogates in India is attracting a lot of interest. While not just the ease of the rules but also cost that is incurred here is something that is quite tempting. Surrogacy programs in India are as successful as any other good program in the world, with strict screening of egg donors and confidentiality maintained. Low cost surrogacy in India makes it possible even for couples who are not super-rich, to start a family. Surrogacy abroad in India has become the favorite destinations for couples from USA, UK, Australia, Israel and other countries because of the low cost of surrogacy treatment and easy Indian laws relating to surrogacy.

Male infertility refers to the inability of a male to contribute to conception with a fertile female. Infertility has traditionally been thought of as a woman's problem, but as it turns out, men don't get off that easily. About one out of every three cases of infertility is due to the man alone, and men are somehow involved in infertility about half the time. A diagnosis of male infertility can be one of the hardest challenges a man can face. For some, it can be devastating. Not being able to father a child can make a man feel like he�s failing at one of his most primal responsibilities.

Advances in male infertility treatment offer real help to the males to become fathers. Male infertility is due to low sperm production, misshapen or immobile sperm, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Hormonal problems, illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, lifestyle choices and other factors can play a role in causing male infertility. Not being able to conceive a child can be stressful and frustrating, but a number of male infertility treatments are available like surgery, medication, IUI, IVF and ICSI.

Lifestyle factors affect fertility. As most lifestyle factors can be modified, providing advice and support in making healthy lifestyle changes can promote fertility. The evidence relating to the effects on fertility of caffeine, alcohol consumption and smoking are discussed here. Recent Male Infertility study suggests some new facts which are must read and interesting for anyone trying to get pregnant or start creating family.

A prospective dad must consider his health as important in the journey of parenthood. The biggest cause of infertility in men is abnormal sperm. Sperm can be affected by lifestyle factors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, taking drugs, exposure to chemicals, caffeine consumption and lack of exercise and balanced diet.

Mobile phones kept in pockets of trousers

Use of laptops on the lap

Lifestyle factors and modern technology plays a massive role on sperm production and has played a major role in male infertility. The use of laptops on the lap and mobile phones in the trousers pockets are considered to be playing with male fertility. To know the impact and effects of laptops on lap, mobile phones in the pockets and lifestyle factors on sperm reduction and male infertility read the whole article at https://rupalhospital.wordpress.com/male-infertility

Even barring all the scientific evidence, it simply makes sense that laptops, cell phones and other wireless technology can impact the human body once you understand that your body is bioelectric. When you are trying to conceive, it's always better to play it safe. The researchers who conducted the study recommend that men who want to be fathers should work with their laptop on a desk or table, rather than on their lap and avoid the use of cell phones with Bluetooth devices and avoid keeping it in pockets trousers.

When faced with the problem of not conceiving, it is always better to seek the assistance of the doctor. The doctor will help you determine the cause of any fertility problems you may have and at the same time you can discuss the treatments available to increase your chances of conceiving. Your doctor may refer you to a fertility specialist at a fertility clinic.

ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Tuberculosis is a major opportunistic infection in HIV patients� world wide. Many patients were being treated for tuberculosis without knowledge of the presence or absence of concurrent HIV infection. Relapse rate is high in HIV-TB, which may be due to re-infections rather than true relapse of TB. Detection of HIV status in a TB patient is critical from both patient and public health perspectives and for holistic management of HIV-TBpatients
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of HIV infection and its clinical profile among tuberculosis patients (Cases) and Non-TB patients (Controls)
Methods: A case-control study study was conducted at SKM hospital, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh during the period September 2009 to February 2011. 252 proven Tuberculosis patients as cases and 252 non-tuberculosis patients (having similar clinical features like TB) as controls selected stratified random sampling method
Results: Out of 252 tuberculosis patients 26 were HIV seropositive and none was positive in Non-TB patients. The percentage of prevalence in TB patients was 10.3%. The prevalence in males 13.2% (19/143) and in females, 6.4% (7/252), 12 (46.15%) were married and 14 (53.85%) were singles, 17 (65.38%) patients were Hindus and 9 (34.62%) were Muslims. 14 (53.85%) patients were from rural areas and 12 (46.15%) patients were from urban areas. 96.2% HIV �TB patients has income below 10000/Rs and all most all HIV � TB patients has heterosexual sexual behavior and not used protective measures during unprotected extramarital sex. The most peculiar clinical features of HIV seropositive TB patients of this study were chronic diarrhea (73%) aphthous ulceration (92.3%), pain in abdomen (38.4%) oral candidiasis (26%) lymphadenopathy (39.8%).
Conclusions: HIV seroprevalence was higher among TB patients and calls for routine HIV screening and counseling of TB suspects for holistic management. Despite the synergy between the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and tuberculosis (TB) epidemics, the public health responses have largely been separate. Intensive efforts and early diagnosis of HIV infection among tuberculosis patients was crucial for holistic management of HIV-TB patients. With this study screening of HIV antibodies in TB patients adds one more classification, which will be more helpful in predicting prognosis of disease.


Classification
TB: it is assumed all TB cases (pulmonary and extra-pulmonary) were curable. It can be easily diagnosed by AFB sputum and x-ray chest PA View
Resistant TB: it includes MDR-TB and XDR-TB, which can be easily predicted with the help of previous prescriptions. Management of Resistant TB was beyond the reach of family physician and can be referred to higher centre.
HIV-TB: Can be easily diagnosed in TB patients by rapid card tests. Beside ATT it requires services of nearest ART centre.
Knowledge of HIV status in a TB patient is critical from both patient and public health perspectives. In those patients who test seropositive for HIV, better care can be provided in the form of effective combined antitubercular (ATT) therapy and antiretroviral treatment. ATT was alone insufficient for the treatment of HIV seropositive TB and it was observed during this study that curative outcome was more with addition of antiretroviral therapy. If a HIV-positive TB patient on ATT worsens or fails to improve with therapy, the possibility of other co-existing opportunistic infections or immune reconstitution syndrome should be considered. Knowledge of a person's HIV serostatus also provides the opportunity to administer prophylaxis for opportunistic infections and thereby reduces morbidity and mortality. The spouse and relatives of HIV-seropositve patients may also be counseled on HIV infection and its modes of transmission and prognosis, preventing the spread of infection. Spouses may be educated on safe sex practices and may be offered testing themselves.
