Subject: Tamilnadu Jain heritage Discovery Mission I had read an article on Ahimsa times about ANCIENT JAIN TEMPLE IN A SORRY STATE IN TAMILNADU. I had already conveyed this message to my family and friends and stressed on the fact that Jain history is being destroyed systematically. My humble request to you is that, it would be great if you share some more evidences like findings by researchers, videos of discovery of ancient Jain temples, articles, etc, so that I can educate people on the same and keep them away from ignorance. I found that Mr. Ashok Jain and his team are on Tamilnadu Jain heritage Discovery Mission, from the ahimsa times magazine www.jainsamaj.org. I kindly request you that let me know if there is anything I could help you, I am also interested in doing research/Jain Studies/Archaeology and join Tamilnadu Jain heritage Discovery Mission.

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. further Please Click Here

THIRTY BRANDS OF OIL AND GHEE FOUND UNSUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION Shri Chandra Bhushan, Assistant Director, Centre for Science and Environment (C.S.E.) has announced at a press conference that 30 brands of ghee and edible oils currently available in the market were found after elaborate testing to be unsuitable for eating from the point of health. The samples contained unduly large content of fatty acid and transfat content, which are harmful for human consumption. The claims made by the companies manufacturing these brands about the values of the constituents mentioned on their labels and also in their advertisements were far from the actual values observed on testing. It is well-known that transfatty acid presence can enhance the chances of heart ailments because these tend to decrease the good cholesterol and also increase the chances of women becoming barren.
