Subject: Format for giving information to the applicants under RTI Act- seeking comments from public regarding

A committee comprising of representatives of Department of Personnel and Training, Ministry of Home Affairs and Central Information Commission was constituted to devise a standard format for reply to RTI applications under the RTI Act, 2005. The Committee recommended that there should not be a model/standard format for reply to the RTI application as there is no such provision in the RTI Act or RTI Rules. However, the Committee recommended that few points can be uniformly adopted by the Public Information Officers while replying to the RTI applications. Based on the recommendations of the Committee and in consultation with Ministry of Law and Justice, draft guidelines have been attempted regarding the elements that a RTI reply should essentially contain, which is placed at Annexure - I.

2. It has been decided to invite views/suggestions from the citizens on the draft guidelines. The views/suggestions, preferably not exceeding more than one page, may be sent latest by 16.4.2015 through e-mail only to Shri R.K. Girdhar, US (RTI), North Block at email ID usrti-dopt@nic.in.

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY:Coutesy Dr.G.K.Advani

Pass this on .........and if someone finds that it works, please feedback the results!

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLYThis is a very useful piece of information, that you may have not received before.This is very true and it works.You can 'google' Dr Lai Chiu-Nan to find out more about her and the feedbacks of this treatment.

PS: As always, spread good things around, it may benefit someone.

Pictures first, explanation and procedure follows:

1. Liver

2. Common Bile Duct

3. Gallstones

4. Gallbladder 

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY

by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan

It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass 

on the good news. Chiu Nan is not charging for it, 

so we should make it free for everyone.

Your reward is when someone, through 

your word of mouth, benefits from the regime.

  

Gallstones may not be everyones' concern. 

But they should be because we all have them.

Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. 

"Cancer is never the first illness," Chiu Nan points out. " 

Usually, there are a lot of other problems 

leading to cancer.

In my research in China , I came across some 

materials which say that people with cancer

usually have stones. We all have gallstones. 

It's a matter of big or small, many or few.

One of the symptoms of gallstones is a feeling 

of bloatedness after a heavy meal. You feel like

you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious, 

you feel pain in the liver area."

 

So if you think you have gallstones, Chiu Nan offers 

the following method to remove them naturally. 

The treatment is also good for those with 

a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder 

are closely linked. 

Regimen:

1. For the first five days, take four glasses 

of apple juice every day, or eat four or five apples,

whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens 

the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.

2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.

3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.

4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.

5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice.

Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage.

P.S: 1 cup = 250ml, 1/2 cup lemon juice = 3 lemons (approx.)

The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. "Usually they float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I have had peoplewho passed 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many."

"Even if you don't have any symptoms of gallstones, you still might have some stones.

It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up every now and then.

PASS THIS ON AND YOU MAY HELP OTHERS!

Doctor : Be true to your profession.

 Doctor : Be true to your profession.

Medicine was once deemed the most noble of professions. Those who entered the field of medicine became doctors because they had a true desire to help others and to cure diseases – regardless of your ability to pay. Among all professions, this was  the only profession where they were actually trying to work themselves  for others. At one time !

 Is medicine still a noble profession?

 when you look at the big business of medicine, and you see that there are few – if any – doctors who are in it for the science and the care, as opposed to the money, it’s hard to continue to think of medicine as a noble profession.

Today, when you think of medical care, you almost instantly have to think of money as well, and whether or not you can afford to pay your doctor. If you cannot afford to pay him or her, and you do not have insurance, you probably won’t get care – and why?  Even if you have the money & once it gets into Doctors pocket.You are at the mercy of God & God alone.

This is what is happening even in  the so called world class  super specialty hospitals. Often we hear of untimely deaths due to medical negligence, which is so hard to prove after the happening ?
