This is the first ever death reported while playing Pokémon GO , that has now become a global rage
Going out and Playing Pokémon GO turned out to be fatal for an 18-year-old Guatemalan boy, after he was shot and killed for breaking into a house while playing the game. This is the first ever death reported while playing the popular Augmented Reality game that has now become a global rage.
Jerson Lopez de Leon, was reportedly playing with his cousin Daniel Moises Picen, 17, and ended up breaking and entering a home in Chiquimula (170 kms from Guatemala city) to catch a Pokemon.
Jerson was shot and killed, while Daniel was badly injured. The police said that it was still unclear if both teenagers were playing the world-popular AR game, or why they were shot. Police is also looking for the occupants of an agricultural van that was seen racing away from the scene, as reported by The Mirror. Local reports said that the police found 20 bullet casings from the scene of the shooting.
Jerson’s mother said that the teenagers had gone out of the house to play Pokemon GO.
The location feature of the app makes the player walk around in order to catch Pokemon. This makes for people ending up walking into parks, monuments, police stations, banks, etc.
It still isn’t clear why the two were attacked, police said. But they have speculated that it may have been that the attackers found the teenagers using the app itself – which has location features that make it possible to encourage people to go to specific areas, or to locate players.
There have been previous instances of shots being fired on Pokémon GO players. Two teenagers aged 19 and 16 were shot at while they were sitting in a car and playing Pokémon GO in Florida last week.
The dilemma whether it is better to wear or not to wear a bra while sleeping lasts for ages, and it is often associated with both, myths, and reasonable facts, so women are simply left to decide for themselves which option is more comfortable for them.
However, we will consider both, pros and cons and explain which of the facts you know are real.
Some women believe that wearing a bra while sleeping is not a good option as the bra makes them feel constricted, leaves marks on your body and may clog the lymph nodes and thus raises the risk of development of breast cancer.
Yet, other women suggest that the wearing of a bra all the time prevents breasts from sagging.
So, do you know which of these claims are true?
According to experts, all these claims are just a myth. From a medical point of view, the function of the lymph nodes in the underarms is to naturally filter, or drain the breast of lymph fluid, as well as to prevent the system of infections, cancer cells, and foreign material.
It is not scientifically shown that the bra-wearing during sleeping blocks the pathways of the lymph nodes, therefore, this practice will not increase the breast cancer risk.
Regarding the second point of view, that this will prevent breasts from sagging, we can again state that science does not confirm it. Breasts sag as a result of genetics, age, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Additionally, women with a bra cup size C and bigger should choose a soft – cup style, free of hardware or much fasteners, in order to prevent sagging. On the other hand, in the case of a smaller bra size, a woman will not benefit from wearing a bra during the night.
Hence, wearing a bra during the night does not raise the risk of breast cancer, and does not prevent sagging either.
Therefore, it is up to you to decide whether you prefer to use or remove your bra at night. Women with tender and sensitive breasts often use bras in order to get the support they need.
On the other hand, in the case of women who sweat a lot, have sensitive skin and often have rashes issues, bras may cause discomfort and pain.
Yet, remember to choose well-fitted, of natural fiber, and a soft cupped bra, which will be pleasant on your skin, and support your breasts properly.
Did you know that the Tibetan medical system is among the oldest medical systems in the world? This system is a central part of their culture and has advanced significantly over the centuries. Many believe, that their medical system has origins as old as civilization itself. Their medical heritage is based on their fundamental medical text, the book of the four Tantras (rGyud-bZhi).
Nonetheless, it is impressive how Tibetan monks can maintain white, healthy teeth until old age. This has been the case for years, even before civilization, commercial products and dentists were a norm in society. Their secret is simple: they have a recipe that helps them keep their teeth healthy, white and strong. Here are the instructions on how to make it.
Take half a cup of boiled and cooled water and add a tablespoon of salt. Stir the mixture and remove the foam that forms. Proceed to take a few of the crystals using your toothbrush and clean your teeth as usual. To achieve your desired set of teeth, it is advisable that you use this recipe to clean your teeth every morning and evening, especially after meals.
The one main disadvantage of this recipe is that, at first, you may experience discomfort. The salt water often affects the sensitivity of teeth to hot and cold foods or drinks, and to sweet or sour foods or drinks. This sensitivity is a result of the minor removal of the enamel in the teeth. Fortunately, the sensitivity is bearable and lasts for a short period.
Interestingly enough, this discomfort could also result from the various brands of expensive toothpaste that target people with sensitive teeth. However, the advantage of this recipe is that it is cost effective, unlike the commercial brands that may be pretty expensive. For this reason, you are advised to tolerate the discomfort and persist with the recipe to achieve your desired outcome.
This salty mixture is effective because it serves some purposes. It strengthens the enamel of the teeth in a surprisingly short period; it kills any pathogenic bacteria present within the oral cavity and repairs the cracks and bumps on the teeth.
It is interesting also to note that salty water has been used as mouthwash in many places around the world for a very long time. This solution can be used interchangeably with other commercial mouthwash as it serves the same purpose. Apart from killing bacteria within the mouth cavity, salty water also helps loosen deposits of food stuck in the teeth. It is most effective when used regularly.
This simple recipe from the Tibetan monks may be the key to the perfect smile you have been yearning for years. It is especially convenient for those worried about costs since it makes use of ingredients that are readily available at home; water and salt. All it requires is persistence and tolerance, like many things in life. The best things in life aren’t free; they require sacrifice and commitment. And this is no different. Don’t knock it till you try it.

The best time to consume the combination is within 5 days of preparation. You can still consume the mixture after 5 days, but the healing properties are lower.
How to consume it?
You can consume the remedy in many ways. We recommend taking 2 tablespoons of the remedy before you eat or drink anything else, immediately after waking up. If you do not like the taste of the remedy raw, you can mix it with a cup of your favorite fresh juice or water. If you are mixing it with fresh juice or water it is very important to consume the remedy before you eat or drink anything else, immediately after waking up.
This remedy is becoming more and more popular nowadays and the amount of people using it to treat various ailments has rapidly increased.
Matcha is blowing up, taking over menus and Instagram feeds the world over.
People are going crazy for matcha drinks, matcha baked goods, and even matcha fountains.
What is matcha?
Matcha is an antioxidant-filled tea that’s been a Japanese dietary staple since the 12th century.
It is a finely ground powder made from green tea leaves. Matcha bushes are covered to prevent direct sunlight, which slows down growth and stimulates an increase in chlorophyll and amino acid levels, which creates matcha’s rich and distinct flavor.
The leaves are harvested, steamed and laid out flat to dry. They are then separated from their stems and stone-ground into the bright green powder we know as matcha.
What is matcha used for?
For centuries, Chinese and Japanese people have held tea ceremonies around the preparation and consumption of matcha tea. Today, it is often used to flavor and dye foods, like mochi, soba noodles, and wagashi, a Japanese confectionery.
How is matcha different from green tea?
Matcha is essentially the purest form of green tea. Although they both come from the same plant, consuming matcha means consuming 100% of the leaf, and thus 100% of its antioxidants. In loose leaf (green) tea, leaves are steeped in water, which can only extract a fraction of the leaves’ nutritional properties.
Is matcha good for you?
The health benefits of green tea are well-known, and matcha is its most concentrated form. One serving of matcha tea has the nutritional equivalent of 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea, as well as 137 times more antioxidants, which protect against heart disease and cancer, lower cholesterol, and prevent stoke. Matcha is also said to boost metabolism and help burn fat, as well as aid concentration.
While numerous studies have found these health benefits, its important to know that they are not conclusive. But whether matcha helps burn fat, or simply tastes delicious, it’s a fad food worth trying.
Asthma is caused by chronic inflammation and thickening of the bronchial tubes. It’s an extremely serious conditions as it can lead to a number of health problems and potentially suffocation. Most asthma sufferers are also hypoallergic and/or sensitive.
This means that whenever a sufferers lungs are irritated, the muscles tighten and produce phlegmy mucus in the throat. The attacks are usually combined with a shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing.
People with asthma are prescribed the use of an inhaler, a medical device which helps them breathe the medicine straight into the lungs where it is needed. However, inhalers are a potential risk for additional health issues, as they contain many chemicals which are detrimental from the lungs. Interestingly, some people have managed to cure asthma by reducing the use of inhalers.
Asthma is a chronic lung condition caused by chronic inflammation and thickening of the bronchial tubes. It is extremely serious conditions as it can lead to suffocation. Most asthma sufferers are allergic and sensitive. Therefore, whenever their lungs are irritated, the muscles tighten and produce phlegm in the throat. The attacks are usually accompanied with shortness of breath, wheezing, and coughing.
People with asthma are advised use an inhaler, a device which helps them breathe the medicine straight into their lungs where it is needed. However, inhalers are a potential risk for additional health issues. They contain many chemicals which are detrimental to the lungs.
Some people have managed to reduce the effects and even cure their asthma by reducing the use of inhalers and turning to a more holistic approach.
There are a number of asthma friendly foods that have be shown to reduce the effects of an asthma attack. Carrot is one of the best foods in dispelling excessive mucus from the body. Drink carrot juice just on its own, or add a few ribs of celery for its super cleansing power.
High intake of beta carotene and vitamin C (with flavonoids) helps to increase lung capacity and relieve respiratory problems, as well as protecting you from breathing disorders such as asthma, bronchitis and emphysema.
Other great ashtma beating foods are:
– ¼ pineapple+ 1 fennel+ 8-10 leaves of kale+ 3-4 radish(pungent)+ ½ lemon
– 2 cups of strawberries+ 1 cup cranberries+ 1 pomegranate
– 1 oz(1 shot) wheatgrass juice+ a squeeze of lemon juice
– ¼ pineapple+ 1 cucumber+ 2 capsicums (yellow/red)+ ½ bunch watercress+ ½ lemon
– 2 green apples+ 6 ribs celery+ a bunch of spinach+ a bunch of parsley+ ¼ lemon
Adversely, not every food is good for a sufferer with asthma. Here is a list that you should avoid if you suffer from the condition:
– Sodium and monosodium glutamate ( as they can increase the constriction of the bronchial tubes that the histamine causes)
– Citrus fruits
– Animal products like eggs, cow milk, dairy, meat( beef, pork, mutton, chicken and fish)
– Alcohol and soft drinks
– Vegetable oil like corn, sunflower, safflower
Even though citrus fruits should generally be avoided, lemons and lemon juice are actually considered beneficial for this condition. In fact, lemon juice owes its anti-asthmatic property to vitamin C and unlike other citrus fruits, it has an alkalizing effect on the mucus.
The liver, which is located in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen and partially protected by the ribs, is the largest solid organ in the human body. The liver is critical for a number of bodily functions. Ergo, it is important to know the signs of liver damage and to take care of the liver.
12 Early Symptoms of Damaged Liver
There are over 100 different types of liver disease and each has different manifestations. Some of these disease are hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, and cirrhosis of the liver and fatty liver disease. People usually mistake these symptoms for something else since they are not specific. Here is a list of the most common early signs.
1.Upset Stomach
Vomiting and nausea are common symptoms, but they can mimic other diseases like food poisoning, migraines, motion sickness, vertigo, vomiting, depression and early pregnancy. Moreover, they can mimic kidney issues as well. People who have liver damage are likely to suffer from persistent nausea, since the liver’s ability to eliminate toxins had reduced.
The nausea can also be due to the constant changes in digestion and metabolism. In case you have these symptoms, consult a doctor.
2.Overall Weakness and Fatigue
Feeling weak and tired is one of the obvious and early signs of damaged liver. If the liver is damaged, out body works harder, so it needs more rest. This happens because of the toxins in the blood that cannot be eliminated by the liver. In case the symptoms linger, visit your doctor immediately.
3.Loss of Appetite
Loss of appetite happens as a result of not enough bile, which aids with the fat digestion. If the food is not properly digested, it lead to loss of appetite and serious loss of weight.
4.Digestion Problems
The liver is vital for this process since it produces bile. If the liver is damaged, there can be an increase in diarrhea and indigestion. Moreover, if there is lack of bile, a person may also experience fatty food intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome, gallstones, alcohol intolerance, constipation and abdominal bloating.
5.Changes in the Color of the Urine
Changes in the color of the urine might indicate damaged liver. The increased levels of bilirubin in the blood cause the urine to look orange, amber or brown. The levels of bilirubin are increased since the liver is unable to eliminate it, and it is eliminated through the kidneys.
6.Changes in the Color of the Stool
Due to lack of bile, the color of the stool can change. Instead of its normal brown color, it can be clay colored, pale yellow, or gray. If this is not persistent, it is not dangerous. However, if it happens constantly, seeking medical attention is necessary.
7.Jaundice
Jaundice is a condition in which the color of the eyes, fingertips, tongue and skin becomes yellow. It is formed when the levels of bilirubin in the bloodstream increase. Jaundice can also be an indication of issues with the gallbladder or pancreas, so consulting a doctor is highly recommended.
8.Abdominal Changes
Cramping or pain in the lower part of your abdomen, or feeling particularly bloated can be an indication of damaged liver. One of the early symptoms of liver damage is ascites, which is fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity.
Furthermore, portal hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the veins and arteries of the abdomen is a consequence of liver disease.
9.Fluid Retention
Fluid retention is one of the early warning signs, particularly in the feet and ankles. Fluid retention can be caused by lymphatic disease, heart failure, hormonal imbalance, and kidney problems as well.
10.Increased Skin Itching
In case of liver deficiency, the skin is more sensitive than usual and often flakes and itches, and it is also hypersensitive to touch. There could also be more bruises and increased veins visibility. Keeping the skin moist is helpful, but the problem will not go away till the liver issue is solved.
11.Abdominal Pain
This pain is normal for damaged liver.
12.Constipation, Diarrhea and Intestinal Bleeding
The liver is responsible for making clotting factors and sans them, there is bleeding of the intestines related with constipation and diarrhea.
This is not the full list of early signs of damaged liver. For instance, damaged liver can also lead to hormonal imbalance in men and as a consequence they develop breasts and may suffer from a loss of libido. Nevertheless, consult with your doctor of any changes you are experiencing.
This article will reveal the story of Jane Plant, a renowned professor and an expert of geochemistry, but first of all, a dedicated mother, and a wife. In 1987, this incredible woman was diagnosed with cancer, at the age of 42.
The initial prognosis was that her life and career were about to end. Yet, this did not make her give up, and surrender to the effects of the deadly disease. On the contrary, she decided to fight even though her cancer recurred 4 times.
To be more concrete, Jane started to follow a revolutionary dietary regimen, changed her lifestyle habits, and this eventually saved her life. Due to the amazing positive effects of this regimen, Jane nowadays struggles to inform women about its principles and raise their awareness.
When Jane got the cancer diagnosis, her husband, a popular and experienced scientist himself, was working in China, so he started investigating the reason why the breast cancer rates are so reduced in China. The first thing was that in Chinese are not eating itHis findings actually composed the cancer-fighting method he suggested to his wife.
This method has provided marvelous effects, so it is public now. Even though it is believed to be controversial by many, every woman has the right to choose her own treatment and method to save her life.
Here is a part of her story:
My friends and colleagues from China have sent letters, cards, as well as some incredible herbal suppositories, so he brought them to me.
These suppositories were intended to treat my breast cancer, and we actually laughed a lot about them, and I even said that it should be considered to be a real miracle if it protects Chinese women from breast cancer.
I kept wondering- why don’t Chinese women develop breast cancer. This made me examine the issue closely. We blended our scientific backgrounds and tried to find a logical explanation. We started investigating scientific data which led us t to the percentage of fats in diets. Research has found that
in the 1980s, fat made up only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet, by contrast to the Western diet, which included 36% fats. Yet, before I developed this cancer, I ate a low-fat diet, rich in fibers.
Moreover, as a scientist, I am well aware of the fact that in the case of adults. The intake of fat does not raise the risk for breast cancer.
Suddenly, one day, as Peter and I were working together, some of us, I am still not sure who got a brilliant idea: “The Chinese don’t eat dairy produce!”
This was quite a shock, mixed with a great excitement and happiness in the same moment. We just felt we are so close to something big, and like all things were finally absolutely clear.
I started thinking about my close Chinese friends, who believed milk was for babies only, my colleagues, who always politely declined my offer for the cheese course, and the numerous people who cannot tolerate milk.
I did not know anyone from China who used dairy or cow products to feed their babies. Namely, Chinese people find our preoccupation with milk and dairy rather strange.
In the 1980s, I was entertaining a big Chinese delegation of scientists after the ending of the Cultural Revolution, and following the advice of the Foreign Office, we requested that the caterer provides a
pudding with lots of ice cream. However, as soon as they understood the ingredients of the pudding, the Chinese politely refused it. Of course, we were delighted by the second portion we thus got.
Yet, I found that milk is the root cause of most allergies, and more than 70% of the world’s population cannot digest the milk sugar, lactose. This persuaded nutritionists to believe that it is normal in the case of adults.
Before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I consumed a lot of dairy products, yogurt,
skimmed milk, and low-fat cheese, and it was actually my main protein source. I also consumed inexpensive but lean minced beef, which was most likely ground-up dairy cow.
During the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case of cancer, I consumed organic yogurts to help digestion and support the development of ‘good’ bacteria in the gut.
Yet, I found that in 1989, yogurt had been related to ovarian cancer. Dr. Daniel Cramer of Harvard University examined hundreds of women with ovarian cancer and recorded their diets.
This made me give up dairy products completely, including milk, yogurt, butter, milk, and all kinds of products which contained dairy. All of the sudden, I discovered that numerous products we use daily, like cakes, biscuits, commercial soups, soy, olive and sunflower oil margarine, include dairy produce in some form.
At the same time, I examined the situation with my fifth cancerous lump with calipers and plotting the results. My doctors tried to encourage me and stimulate me, but I was experienced enough to recognize the real truth.
As the first chemo gave no effects, and the lump remained in the same size, I removed dairy produce from my diet. This made the lump shrink in days!
After 2 weeks, my second chemotherapy finished, I did not consume dairy, and the
lump in my neck began to itch, then soften, and became smaller. Furthermore, I found that despite reducing in size, the tumor’s decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading off the bottom of the graph, meaning that it was cured, not suppressed (or remission.
Six weeks without dairy, I began practicing meditation for an hour daily, and out of the blue, I felt that my lump was missing. I was not able to spot it, and I was experienced in it, and actually discovered my 5 cancers on my own. I asked my husband to help me, but he was not able to find it either.
The next Thursday, I went to visit my cancer specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He checked my neck thoroughly, in particular, the area where the lump previously was and announced that he cannot find it.
The specialist was astonished by this discovery, but when I explained my treatment, he was quite skeptical. Yet, nowadays, I have heard that he uses maps of cancer mortality in his lectures, and even advises cancer patients to avoid dairy.
From present point of view, I understand the relation between breast cancer and dairy produce just like I understand the link between lung cancer and smoking.
I strongly believe that my discovery of the link between the two helped my cure breast cancer, and maintain the balance of my hormonal system, as well as the health of my breasts.
You may find it hard to believe that such a natural substance as milk can actually lead to such health issues, but do not forget that I am a living proof of it.

Professor Plant explains her personal experience in the following video and clarifies the steps to her final victory against cancer. Moreover, she enlightens why she decided to try this method, and how she conducted it.
