The Benefits Of Vitamin C In Fighting The Common Cold
Cold is commonly experienced by many people. It is believed that vitamin C supplements can effectively tackle it, but latest research revealed that the supplements afterall cannot fight cold. During the winter or rainy season, many people would be susceptible to cold within this seasons- a highly contagious ailment caused by several different strains of virus that somehow seem to change from one season to another. Cold affects all parts of the body, and usually begins in the nose and throat.
Cold is due to the virus infections of one type or another. It should also be noted that the common cold is the most prevalent of all the diseases known to man and it is not a respecter of race, age or sex.
For instance, if one member of a family has a cold, there is a tendency that if not well treated, other members of the family may be infected. The allergic disorders of the nose and throat could also make a person more susceptible to cold and other virus infections. “anybody can experience colds at anytime, but it is more common during the wet seasons. Chilling of the body also seem to play a major role particularly in those whose body resistance is already weak. Lack of adequate sleep may be a factor in some people, while the cold virus may be carried by anybody.But children under six years usually catch cold easily and can pass it to other members of the family. In fact, cold is always more serious in younger children”. There is also a general belief that Vitamin C supplements can prevent or treat cold. Many people are also of the opinion that apart from anti-catarrh drugs, vitamin C supplements is very effective in warding off cold and its associated symptoms. But the fact is that Vitamin C supplements cannot ward off cold as commonly believed. and “the idea that vitamin C supplements can wards off cold is a myth. No evidence found that high doses of the vitamin have any effect against colds for an average person.
Also the extra vitamin C is only beneficial for people under extreme physical stress, such as marathon runners and soldiers, who are fifty per cent less likely to catch cold if they take daily supplements. But for people living normal life, the benefits conferred by Vitamin C is so small that it would not be worth the effort or expense. It does not make any sense to take vitamin C 365 days a year to lessen the chance of a cold.” It would also be recalled that vitamin C’s reputation for fighting the common cold cannot be justified.
There is no how vitamin C can effectively tackle common colds, although there were hints of possible benefits in some conditions. however, vitamin C can not prevent cold in people taking up to two grammes daily. However, there were slight exceptions because in the number of cold was halved with vitamin C. The number of cold cut in marathon runners, skiers, and soldiers exposed to cold temperatures and/or physical stress. Those benefits in children who regularly took vitamin C had cold symptoms for fourteen per cent fewer days. But for adults, days with cold symptoms fell eight per cent with regular vitamin C use. The vitamin’s cold-shortening pattern was consistent, but it may have questionable significance in the real world.

A brief History Of Brahma Satya Evolution :
Brahma Satya evolved on August 7th, 1997 at around 03:30 AM at Durg, Chhattisgarh in India, through deep trance like meditative states, as a result of the descent of the Shiva-Shakti energy that got channeled through my body revealing itself to me, and with it the deep insights of existence and primal energies.
From the middle of July 1997, my schedules had become extremely tight and uncontrollable situations developed where, on the one hand I had to put up with a lot of additional work and responsibility and on the other hand, it was just that I was all alone in deep pain in this world. This was a period when for some reason or the other, sleep and rest evaded me. I had this experience of realization on the night of the 6th of August 1997, which was no different than any of the other previous nights. As usual, I was finding myself physically, emotionally and even mentally exhausted, and just kept tossing and turning, trying to sleep somehow. My throat seemed to have dried out and frequently I had to keep getting up to drink water. I was sweating unusually in this period. I do not know how long did all this continue. Finally, it was as if I did not have any strength left in me to even attempt sleep. All that I was doing was just lying down on the bed in a wakeful, blank state completely oblivious of the surroundings and of myself. Suddenly a voice seemed to have told me: “Now it is 3:30 a.m., the Brahma Muhurtam begins now.”
Immediately, I experienced a surge of tremendous heat build-up within me and could feel a very strong energy current flow throughout my body, within and around. My entire body was sort of trembling under the influence of these intense vibrations. I could feel the tremors affecting the bed also for it seemed to be shaking. I was sweating profusely as never before and could feel even the mattress to have been drenched with sweat all throughout. Shortly, in the darkness, there was a terrific sparkle from within me and around me. A shining golden light was all around me, spreading and widening. The sparkling continued and it was most wonderful in this golden light. This golden light had engulfed me completely and slowly this merged within me. Yet again, I experienced a further surge of heat build-up and the body trembling was enhanced. A sparkling, shining bright white globe of light appeared and descended within my head and engulfed my body simultaneously. After a while, all of this settled down, and I was at that time experiencing bliss, again oblivious of the surroundings.
I then heard a voice, which told me to put this experience on record and that this was a fresh beginning and more experiences were to be followed in due course. The voice further said: “Aham Satyasmi, Aham Shabdasmi, Aham Brahmasmi,” which means, “I am the truth, I am the word, I am the universe.” It again repeated: “Record this experience. You may not remember it at its end. Whenever you now begin to record, the words will flow out truthfully.” The voice further said – “The lotus and amrit create righteousness and light, the light when reaches out to the nakshatras, the Shiva-Shakti surfaces, spreads and affects the entire earth.” The voice then went on to explain revolutionary concepts of the universe, and explained the various aspects of healing in a manner unheard of before. Before parting, the voice said, “For the time being focus upon practicing the concepts told to you. In due course of time, you will be directed accordingly.”
After this may be I had gone into a trance. I woke up around 6:30 a.m. on the morning of the 7th of August 1997 in disbelief of what had happened earlier. But then, the mattress was still completely drenched and wet. I did not understand what had happened, but just recorded the event as I was directed to do. In my healing practice, I noticed a drastic change on the 7th of August itself. The change was so phenomenal that I was convinced that something unique had happened with me. I knew not what, but could trust the words of the voice that had declared that it was a fresh beginning.
I had another experience similar to the one I had earlier on the 7th of August on the 11th of September 1997. This time to add up upon the earlier experiences was, that I was experiencing a formation and flow of bubbles within my whole body. Simultaneously, I was hearing the sounds of many big bells ringing vigorously, creating cosmic nadas. The experience involved ecstatic feelings of immense pleasure and tremendous pain simultaneously. The complete spine was shaken up in this experience. It was in this experience that the voice declared for the first time – “This from now would be the Brahma Satya”, and then it went on to describe and explain further details.
