THE CURES
Cola nitida (Kola Nut)
Weight loss. Some research, sponsored by a product manufacturer, suggests that cola nut in combination with ephedra and willow bark might cause modest weight loss in overweight and obese people. But this combination might not be appropriate for weight loss due to safety concerns related to ephedra. Ephedra is banned in the U.S. due to severe adverse effects.
Depression.
Exhaustion.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS).
Dysentery.
Diarrhea.
Anorexia.
Migraines.
Mental and physical fatigue.
Other conditions.
More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of cola nut for these uses.
Kola nut effects
Kola nut is a strong stimulant. Like coffee, Kola nut is stimulating and non-soporific (it keeps you awake). The psychoactive effect however is stronger and different. The power of endurance increases, while it dispels hunger. It also increases concentration, clears the brain, works as a light aphrodisiac and it can raise a 'high'. It boosts your normal capabilities at - for instance - work, sports, dance and sex.Because Kola nut withdraws energy from the body in many ways, it's also used for weight loss in addition to a diet.
Kola nut usage
One teaspoon mixed with coffee, tea or hot chocolate gives you a little more spirit. You might want to add some honey, because it tastes quite calcareous. For a real energy kick use 2 teaspoons. With higher doses you won't be able to sit still. 2-6 grams is the officially recommended dosage. Adding the powder to a cold soft drink will also ease up on the taste. You can combine cola nut with Guarana. Guarana has almost the same effect, but is milder and less activating.Whole nuts are to be chewed, preferably ground. The best way is to mix it with lime (just like Betel nut).
Warning
The side-effects are similar to those of coffee; restlessness and sleeplessness. Taking Kola nut late in the evening might result in not being able to sleep.Long and intensive usage might lead to addiction, sleeplessness, nervousness or increased blood pressure.
Kola nut is a strong stimulant. Like coffee (it keeps you awake).
Mangosteen (The Skin)
Nutritional Benefits of Mangosteen
Mangosteen provides around 75 calories for 100 gram of its intake. It is highly nutritious and is a rich source of carbohydrates and dietary fibre. Fats and protein are also found in mangosteen. Its peel is rich in antioxidants and xanthonoids. It also contains minerals like iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium and zinc.
Mangosteen is Rich in Antioxidants
Mangosteen contains xanthonoids like alpha mangostin and gamma mangostin. These compounds have anti-inflammatory properties. These anti-oxidants help in protecting against free radicals thus preventing cancer. Garcinone E is found in mangosteen which reduces the onset of tumour.
Mangosteen is a source of Vitamin-C
Mangosteen is rich in Vitamin-C which aids in the metabolism of digestion. Various enzymes are activated by it which trigger the digestion process and help in disintegrating the food particles. Vitamin-C helps in increasing the immunity against various microbial infections. Flu, common cold can be curbed by its intake.
Health Benefits of Mangosteen – Prevents Cancer
Mangosteen helps in inhibiting the growth of harmful cancer cells. Rich antioxidants present in mangosteen help in protection against free radicals. Xanthones, catechins, polysaccharides, quinones, stilbenes and polyphenols are the various chemical compounds present in mangosteen. They are very powerful antioxidants which protect DNA from damage and mutation. Colon cancer can be prevented by its consumption.

Cannabis (Marijuana)
Medical Marijuana and Cancer Treatment, Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, Chemotherapy
There are few things more frightening in life than receiving a cancer diagnosis. Fortunately for cancer patients, medical marijuana may be an effectivecancer treatment and an alternative to many drugs currently used to treat cancers including breast cancer, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, brain cancer, leukemia, lung cancer, prostate cancer, and more. Medical marijuana can also help to alleviate symptoms associated with traditional cancer treatment, including nausea and vomiting.
Medical Marijuana for Cancer Patients
Cancer patients can benefit from using medical marijuana, whether as an alternative cancer treatment or to help mitigate unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy. Even lung cancer patients can use medical marijuana-- studies show that smoking marijuana does not cause cancer. In fact, studies show that marijuana slows the invasion of cervical cancer and lung cancer cells. Cannabidiol, one of the five cannabinoids found in medical marijuana, also inhibits tumor growth in leukemia and breast cancer.Patients undergoing cancer treatment often use medical marijuana to reduce vomiting and nausea, for which purpose it is highly effective. In a review conducted by the University of Arkansas,cannabinoids significantly reduced vomiting and nausea in breast cancer patients following breast surgery. In addition, medicinal marijuana can serve as an appetite stimulant to improve cancer treatment related anorexia.Medical marijuana's full potential as part of cancer treatment has not yet been realized. In a recent study, medical marijuana halted the spread of metastatic breast cancer. It's certain that research will continue to discover new applications for medical marijuana in the treatment of cancer. Current legal restrictions on the use of marijuana have prevented researchers from conducting the broad clinical trials necessary to fully understand the myriad ways in which medical marijuana can help cancer patients.
Using Medical Marijuana as Part of Your Cancer Treatment Plan
The first step toward incorporating medical marijuana into your cancer treatment is to speak with your oncologist about using medical marijuana. You'll also need to check your state medical marijuana laws to determine if and how you can use medical marijuana legally. You may wish to do your own research regarding your particular type of cancer and the benefits of medical marijuana for patients with that cancer. If you're undergoing chemotherapy, you will likely benefit from an improved appetite and reduced nausea through using medical marijuana. Marijuana may also help to slow or halt the spread of cancer cells.Once you've spoken with your oncologist, and possibly a specialized medical marijuana doctor, you'll need to obtain your medicine from a medical marijuana caregiver and/or medical marijuana distributor. If your cancer and cancer treatment have made you unable to perform some self-care tasks, you may be able to find a medical marijuana caregiver who can both provide medical marijuana to you and assist you with tasks like dressing, getting to doctor's appointments, and more. In fact, in some states a person must help you in other aspects of your life in order to be considered your medical marijuana caregiver.Depending upon your individual cancer treatment plan and prognosis, medical marijuana use can be a short or long-term choice. Medical marijuana advocate Steve Kubby has used medical marijuana for decades after receiving a cancer diagnosis, and says he's experienced only positive effects. However you choose to use medical marijuana, it'll likely improve your quality of life as a cancer patient.

Fried Food
Skip the French fries.
Fried potatoes – and other fried foods – are widely regarded as among the most notorious of nutritional villains. That notoriety is also key to a new effort to make a healthier French fry with 40% less fat and 30% fewer calories than the average fried spud.But do fried foods really deserve the bad rap? The answer is: not necessarily.Surprisingly, the evidence tying fried foods to health problems is mixed. While some research has linked fried foods to obesity, heart attacks, and diabetes, a recent long-term study of more than 40,000 Spanish adults found that those who ate the most fried foods had no greater risk of heart disease or premature death. Another study, this one in obese women, even found a beneficial effect of fried foods on insulin levels.One possible reason for the inconsistent findings is that studies varied in the types of oils or fats used for frying. Participants in the Spanish study used mainly olive and sunflower oils, and those in the study showing a benefit ate food fried in extra-virgin olive oil. In contrast, people in other research may have used frying substances that are more prone to break down into harmful trans fats.Read more: Health Risks of Fried Foods May Be Overblown | TIME.com

5. The shifting of the earth’s plates in the Indian Ocean on Dec. 26, 2004 caused a rupture more than 600 miles long, displacing the seafloor above the rupture by perhaps 10 yards horizontally and several yards vertically. As a result, trillions of tons of rock were moved along hundreds of miles and caused the planet to shudder with the largest magnitude earthquake in 40 years.
