The document summarizes an excerpt from a book by Dr. James Carlson about his medical training and subsequent realization that the low-fat, low-cholesterol diet advice he had been giving patients was incorrect. He describes how medical training focuses on treating symptoms with medications rather than questioning why underlying health issues exist. As a medical student and resident, he was taught to prescribe low-fat diets without critically examining their effectiveness. Only after unsuccessfully trying the same diet himself did he begin to investigate alternative dietary approaches and now advocates a low-carb, high-fat diet for his patients based on its success in his practice.
- The author has become obsessed with learning about stomach acids and why hypochlorhydria occurs. They want to understand the root cause, not just treat the symptoms.
- The excerpt is from a book where the author, Dr. Carlson, discusses how his medical training failed to teach him to question established beliefs about diet. He was taught to prescribe low-fat diets and medications, without considering why the diets often did not work.
- Dr. Carlson describes his own experience trying a low-fat diet which made his health issues worse. This went against his subconscious understanding, but he continued recommending the diet to patients due to his medical training.
The document summarizes an excerpt from a book by Dr. James Carlson about his medical training and subsequent realization that the low-fat, low-cholesterol diet advice he had been giving patients was incorrect. He describes how medical training focuses on using medications rather than diet to treat diseases. As a medical student and resident, he was only taught nutrition for two weeks and instructed to advise low-fat diets without questioning their effectiveness. When he tried the diet himself and his own health markers worsened, he realized the diet advice was incorrect. However, he continues, medical professionals are "indoctrinated" not to think critically but to advise what they are taught, leading to poor health advice and outcomes for many patients.
This document discusses 9 principles of life according to Ayurveda and Eastern philosophies. The principles cover topics like the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of life, diet, exercise, immunity, and healing. The key messages are that life involves more than just the physical body, and that integrating diet, meditation, exercise and living in harmony with nature are important for overall health and well-being.

The document discusses the author's journey learning about stomach acid and hypochlorhydria. It describes how the author became obsessed with understanding why stomach acid levels become low. The author believes asking why problems occur is important, rather than just treating symptoms. The excerpt from the book discusses how the author was previously taught the wrong information about diet as a medical student and treated patients with low-fat diets that did not work. The author questions why he did not think to ask why the diets were not effective and instead just prescribed medications. He realizes it was due to being "indoctrinated" in medical school to think a certain way rather than think freely.
The testimonials describe the positive impacts of juicing vegetables and fruits on various health conditions. Mr. Dipshan/Daulat is praised for his expertise in juicing and natural remedies, and for motivating and supporting several people to overcome health issues like cancer, high blood sugar, depression, and more through adopting a juicing lifestyle. His guidance is said to have provided renewed energy, strength, clearer mind, and some report medical conditions improving or medications no longer being needed.
Angels are spiritual beings mentioned in many religious scriptures that are said to help humans. They have unconditional love for all of God's creations and see our true potential, encouraging growth. Angels can help humans when asked but cannot intervene with free will. Connecting to angels is as easy as connecting with a friend and invoking them can help bring success, prosperity, healing, and help one overcome daily battles and hurdles. Regular contact with angels can help bring positive changes to one's life, making one feel radiant and at peace. Looking to angels for help is encouraged.
The document summarizes excerpts from a book by Dr. James Carlson about the lack of education on nutrition in medical school. Dr. Carlson describes how he was taught to prescribe low-fat diets to patients, even though he knew they often did not work. He realized he had been "indoctrinated" to not question the standard advice, and to immediately prescribe medications if diets failed. Dr. Carlson tried a low-fat diet himself when his health markers were abnormal, and found that his health declined further. This experience led him to start questioning the standard nutritional advice he had been taught.
2016 04-16 tzu chi silent mentor program the philosophy and practicaluchiron
This document describes the Silent Mentor Program run by Tzu Chi University in Taiwan. The program aims to cultivate empathy in medical students by having them interact with donor families and treating donated bodies respectfully through rituals and ceremonies. Unlike traditional dissection programs that treat donors anonymously, in Tzu Chi's program students learn the donors' backgrounds and life stories. Families are also invited to participate in blessing ceremonies as the donors are prepared and their remains are cremated. The program has been well-received and has increased donated body numbers compared to other schools. It provides an altruistic model of mentoring that adds an important empathic component to medical education.
Buddhism views death as an unavoidable part of life that is not to be feared but understood. According to Buddhism, death occurs when three factors - life, heat, and consciousness - cease to exist in the body, representing the complete disconnection of mind and body. Nothing in life is seen as permanent, and death is understood as simply marking the end of one life and the continuation of existence in future lives. While suicide is generally condemned as it violates the precept of not killing and may lead to further suffering in future lives, Buddhism accepts death in some cases such as allowing oneself to die from illness or starvation if focused on meditation. Euthanasia is evaluated on a case by case basis depending on the motivation

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

because of abortion. Therefore it could be one of social problems. What is a social problem?

perspectives comparatively.

Revealedof abortion through the Tripitaka
Buddhist philosophy covered all corporation of each section. On the other hand contemporary
society had many social problems. So Buddhism also gave their interpretation about that
kinds of social problems. In this sense abortion had been discussed in Buddhism. Especially
in vinaya pitaka can adequate examples can be seen for the abortion. Probably these issues
are related to monks. That’s why in Buddhism discussed regarding abortion.
6. 6
In Pārājikā pali explained about story about abortion. One day a woman approached to the
monk. He was a very closed-friend of her. She asked about him how to do abortion. Then he
gave instruction for doing abortion.
“Tena kho pana samayena aññatarā itthi pavutthapatikā jārena gabbhīni hoti. Sā
kulūpagaṃ bhikkuṃ etadavoca…..”
There was another story. There were two infertile women. They got jealousy because of their
assisting wife was able to deliver a baby. Then they thought after her conceiving baby they
couldn’t consume wealth. Next they approached to the monk. And got instruction for
destruction of birth.
Sometimes some woman got advice from monk for using strategy to destroy an unborn baby.
In pārājikā pāli mentioned, One day a pregnant woman came to the monk. And she needed
instruction to destroy an unborn child. Then that monk said to heat belly. Which explained
thus,
“ingeyya gabbhapatanaṃ jānāhīti. Tenahi bhagini tāpehiti. Sā tāpetvā gabbhaṃ patesi”
Can abortion be considered as reasonable or fair in Buddhist perspective ?
Buddhism doesn’t agree to harm any beings. In fact Buddhism based on loving &
compassion to all living beings & non-living beings. Which implicit how much power of
spreading loving to all beings. Actually in Buddhism spread love & compassion even non-
living beings too. For instance,
“Ye keci pāṇa būtatthi tasāvā tāvarāvā anavasesā dīghāva ye mahantāḥāvā
majjimārassa khānukathūlā diṭṭhāvā yeva addiṭṭhā yeca dūre vasanti avidūre būtāvā
saṃbhavesīvā sabbe sattā bhavantu sukhitathā”
7. 7
Here to teach how to loving towards other beings. Not only living beings here mentioned
“Saṃbhesivā” means non-living beings or called Gandhabbha. In that sense Buddhism
doesn’t allow to do harm or killing.
Five objects should be fulfilled for killing as unwholesome deed. They are respectively,
Being aware that one is a living being
It must be a living
Using a strategy for killing
Effort for killing
To succeed it
In fact induced abortion such a unwholesome deed according to Buddhist perspective. The
person who does abortion fulfill above criteria. Therefore there is no any reasonable aspect in
abortion. Further Buddhism mentioned there three are bases for killing unwholesome
deeds.as follows.
Have killed by yourself
Have killed by other-selves
Confirmation of killing
According to above theory an abortion whether the abortion is done by yourself of someone
else, or if there is confirmation of killing. It is as called killing unwholesome deed. Again it is
proved there is no any excuse for abortion.
Abortion considered as a crime in Buddhism. Buddhism illustrated three kinds of
deviating behavior. They are,
Physically
Verbally
8. 8
Mentally
If the person who does wrong intention by using physically, verbally and mentally it must be
unwholesome deed according to Buddhism.
Conclusion
Buddhism mainly expounded while you are walking in this existence to live without harming
others. Buddhism highly appreciated non-violent society. Which implicit clearly under the
unlimited loving kindness towards all living and non-living beings. However regarding
abortion looked sensitively & morally. In Buddhism there is not opportunity to do abortion.
And abortion is completely rejected by Buddhism. Dhaṃmapada says, all beings would like
to live, they fear for the punishment, beat & death so on. Then Buddha mentioned comparing
others with oneself, one should neither strike nor cause to strike.
“Sabbe tasanti danḍassa – sabbe bhāyanti maccuno
Attānaṃ upamaṃ katvā- na haneyya na ghātaye”
