Withdraw your money from ATMs for free from April 1

New Delhi: Bank customers will be able to withdraw money from any bank ATM for free from April 1, says an order by the country’s central bank.

The Reserve Bank of India (RBI), in a notification, has ordered banks not to charge any fee for cash withdrawal and balance inquiry. All banks charged non-account holders Rs 20 for using their ATMs.

The RBI order does away with that fee but if a customer uses a credit card to withdraw cash, then a bank will charge 2.5 per cent or Rs 300, whichever is higher. For cash withdrawn abroad, the charge is 3.5 per cent of the total amount withdrawn.

India has over 32,000 Automated Teller Machines spread all over the country. The RBI order mandates that the ATM network of all the banks will be linked to one centre, the National Financial Switch, which will make ATM transactions seamless

Excellent article on cancer.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHN HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not

show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.

When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in

their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect

the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's

lifetime.

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be

destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple

nutritional deficiencies.. These could be due to genetic, environmental,

food and lifestyle factors.

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and

including supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and

also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,

gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver,

kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages

healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce

tumor size.. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not

result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation

the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can

succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become

resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to

spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not

feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.


WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one

important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like

NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.

A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in

very sma ll amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in

colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the

gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and

substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved..

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic

and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork.

Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites,

which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds,

nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.

About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices

provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular

levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.

To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh

vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw

vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of

104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea

is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties. Water-best to

drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals

in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive

enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and

leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or

eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of

cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer

cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac,

anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own

killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are

known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal

method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and

positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-

forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic

environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax

and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising

daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular

level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
