Fresh fruits,vegetables,good exercise,good sleep, calm mind all bring about the well being of the individual.However,in spite of all these we all still die.By following good diet,exercise etc we may live healthy till old age,but there is some mechanism to die.
Now,u must know that post mortem studies of aborted foetuses and dead infants ,during the 70s had shown that there are fatty streaks over which atheromatous plaques develop in later life,and ultimately the blood vessels to the heart or brain get blocked when we are old enough to die,and this is the cause of natural death in over 90 percent of the dying population.Smoking,alcohol,sedentary lifestyle,genes,diabetes mellitus,hypertension,type A personality all add up to kill a person early by accelerating the natural process of atheromatous blockade of blood vessels,esp to brain and heart,resulting in MI and strokes.
Now regarding vitB17 Or Laetril has inhibitory properties on the cell transformation through various yet to be elucidated mechanisms,we have vit A,vit C,antioxidants, which have been proven to be effective in preventing cancers for a fairly long periods of our lives.Smoked salmon causing cancer,is one of the early carcinogens to have been identified.Similarly we have red meat diets causing colon cancers,and mango and papaya preventing the colon cancer for fairly long periods of our lives.
Regards to cholesterol lobby,coronary stunting lobby etc,I think u agree that these were started by the medical fraternity with the noble idea of healing patients,not knowing long term outcomes,at the outset.Science will accept defeat and these will be abandoned once newer ( or older) better methods are made available to treat these diseases.
If Dr Khader is treating patients with millets,it's great.But should we not take up a good study ,a randomised controlled study to prove or disprove its efficacy and claims ,by the millet lobby.
I don't agree with your cholesterol tirade completely.There is a volume of research to show that HDL :LDL ratio is having a fairly good correlation to causation of acceleration of atherosclerosis(as I told u atherosclerosis is a natural aging process).Nobody had an express idea of making money over cholesterol reducing drugs.
Though later it was found that homocysteine too is a culprit in accelerating atherosclerosis,and B complex vitamins can reduce this speed of progression of atherosclerosis.
But more and more anti thesis to the already validated issues are generally takes about by the professionals pushing the general masses in to the brink of confusion.
Claims and counterclaims should continue to be encouraged till they are settled.
A huge body of scientific knowledge especially in the medical field should have a safe future for the human advancement
