THE DANGERS OF SOYA FOR LADIES
THIS ARTICLE IS THRU THE KIND COURTESY OF MS SUREKH RAMCHANDANI
ONE WOMAN’S STORY ON SOYA...
All Males — PLEASE pass this info to all your female friends… It may save their lives!
This is true story, nothing altered.
These are facts, as they relate to my experience, my opinions, based on what I have read and felt.
I am relating them to warn other young health-conscious women who are unwittingly harming themselves.
In 1989, I graduated from high school in Texas and couldn’t wait to hit the big college city.
One of the changes I wanted to make was to eat healthier.
Once I moved to health-conscious Austin , Texas ,
I began to fortify my body with the best and healthiest foods I could find.
Tofu was the main ingredient in every healthy dish and I bought soya milk almost every day
and used it for everything from cereal to smoothies or just to drink for a quick snack.
I bought Soya muffins, Miso soup with Tofu, Soybeans, Soybean Sprouts, etc.
All the literature in all the health and fitness magazines said that Soya protected you against everything
from heart disease to breast cancer. It was the magical Isoflavones, the Estrogen-like Hormones
that all worked to help you stay young and healthy.
I looked great. I was working out all the time, but my menstrual cycle was off.
At 20, I started taking birth control pills to regulate my menstrual cycle.
In addition to this I began to suffer from painful periods.
I began to get puffy, it was as though I was losing my muscle tone.
I began to suffer from depression and getting hot flushes.
I mistook all this for PMS since my periods were irregular.
By the time I was 25, my periods were so bad, I couldn’t walk!
The birth control pills never made them regular or less painful so I decided to stop taking them!
I went on like this for another two years until I realized my pain wasn’t normal.
At 27, my gynecologist found two cysts in my uterus. Both were the size of tennis balls!
I went through surgery to have them removed and Thank God they were benign!
The gynecologist told me to go back on birth control pills. I didn’t.
In 1998, he discovered a lump in my breast.
Again, I went through surgery and again it was benign!
In November 2000 my glands swelled up and my gums became inflamed.
Thinking I had a tooth infection , I went to the dentist who told me that my teeth were not the problem.
After a dose of antibiotics the swelling still did not go down.
At this point I could feel a tiny nodule on the right side of my neck.
I told my mother I had thyroid trouble. She thought I was being silly.
No one in the family suffered from thyroid trouble.
Going on a hunch I saw a specialist who diagnosed me with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
After a series of tests he told me it was Cancer!
My fiance and I sat stunned!
We were not prepared and I was so scared! We scheduled surgery right away.
The Specialist told us that it would only be after the operation that a pathologist would be able to tell us for
sure if it was cancer. They found a tumor in my right lobe composed of irregular cells and
another smaller tumor growing on the left, so my Entire Thyroid was removed!
They told me that after undergoing radioactive iodine treatment
I would be safe and assured me that I could live a long life!
After treatment I began to search for the cause of all these problems.
I never once thought it could be all the Soya I had consumed for nearly ten years.After all, Soya is healthy!
I came upon a web page that linked thyroid problems to Soya intake and the
Conspiracy of Soya , marketed as a health food , when in fact , it is only a toxic by-product of the vegetable oil industry!
This was insane! After all, the health and fitness magazines had said nothing about Soya being harmful!
I visited a herbalist who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 1985.
She informed me that Soya was the culprit! She had a hysterectomy due to cysts and other uterine problems.
A few months later another acquaintance who had consumed Soya came down with thyroid cancer.
A girl in England I met through the Internet in a Thyroid Cancer Forum had just undergone surgery and she was only 19!
Breast cancer is linked to Estrogen! What mimics estrogen in the female body, SOYA!
But I never suspected Soya because until now! I never once found a single article that stated Soya could be dangerous!
Women who took Soya prior to thyroid problems will continue to take it after as well, if they are not
aware of what Soya actually does, what it contains and how it reacts in the female body.
I think this is the reason that women with Thyroid Cancer often develop Breast Cancer later.
My co-worker is big into Soya and I see her losing hair and gaining weight despite a walking workout during her break
and after work, and apples and oranges for lunch.
She just had Cysts removed from her Uterus too!
I warned her to stay off Soya! I referred her to websites but until it is on the evening news on all four networks,
women will suffer!
Since the Thyroidectomy. I do not touch Soya, and I haven’t for two years!
Dear Readers, please use my story in any way you can.
There are so many young girls who are consuming Soya because they think they are taking care of themselves,
and women taking Soya because they want to be healthy!
It is so unfair that the information about the dangers of Soya isn’t more widely circulated.
It is Sad! There are many out there who feel this way and it is a terrible blow when you realize
you are not as healthy as you thought and that the information that you depended on was wrong!
And Remember! SOYA PRODUCTS, IN EXCESS, ARE HARMFUL!!
PLEASE DO PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY WOMEN AS YOU CAN!

I dreamt that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We
walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.
My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, “This is the
Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received.”
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels
sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from
people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.
The angel then said to me, “This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.
Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and
delivered to the living persons who asked for
them.”
I noticed again how busy it was there.
There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many
blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of
a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated
there, idly doing nothing. “This is the Aknowledgment Section,” my angel
friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed “How is it
that? There’s no work going on here?” I asked.
“So sad,” the angel sighed. “After people receive the blessings that they
asked for, very few send back acknowledgments.
“How does one acknowledge God’s blessings?” I asked.
“Simple,” the angel answered.
“Just say, “Thank you, God.”
“What blessings should they acknowledge?”
I asked. “If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on
your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of
this world. “If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare
change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy. “And if
you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who
has that opportunity.”
Also ….
“If you woke up this morning with more health than illness …. you are
more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day.
“If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of
imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation .. you are
ahead of 700 million people in the world.
“If you can attend a prayer meeting without the fear of harassment, arrest,
torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion
people in the world.
If you can hold your head up and smile,
you are not the norm, you’re unique to all those in doubt and despair.”
Ok, what now? How can I start?
If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that
someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than
over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.
Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you want, pass this along to
remind everyone else how blessed we all are.
Attn: Acnowledgment Dept:
Thank You God! Thank you God, for giving me the ability to share
this message and for giving me so many wonderful people to share

HI friends…. these r some PROVERBS …. so if u all want to add more to these feel free to do so ….
but only good ones not the ghisa pitta ones
we all get heavier as we get older because there’s a lot more information in our heads.
woman is like your shadow; follow her, she flies; fly from her, she follow…
a woman’s honor consists in the good opinion the world has of her…
there is nothing better than a good woman and nothing worse than a bad one
fear less, hope more, eat less, chew more, whine less, breathe more, talk less, say more, love more, and all good things will be yours.
my mind not only wonders, sometimes it leaves completely
if you laugh a lot, when you get older your wrinkles will be in the right places.
good judgment comes from experience; and experience, well, that comes from bad judgment.
anything can happen to me tomorrow, but at least nothing more can happen to me yesterday.
i have a photographic memory. unfortunately, it only offers same-day service.
of all the things i’ve lost, i miss my mind the most..

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of every day’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, — I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! — and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
OHHH HOW BEAUTIFUL…..SO MUCH OF LOVE ONE CAN FEEL IN JUST A FEW LINES.

This is our story all of us because in this fast paced life we always say “TIME NAHI HAI” lekin hame time nikalna padega nahi toh the BRICK will come and hit us someday…………..
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag’s side door! He slammed on the brakes and backed the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car shouting, “What the hell was that all about and who are you? Just what the hell are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?” The young boy was apologetic. “Please, mister…please, I’m sorry but didn’t know what else to do,” He pleaded. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop…” With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.” Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay. Thank you and may God bless you,” the grateful child told the stranger. Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message “Don’t go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention”.

One day at school a girl was asked to a party by a boy she had liked for years. Of course, saying yes she headed home happily. The girl asked her parents if she could go out that night but was turned down. Her parents were going out to eat for their anniversary and didn’t want her to go. Besides, they reasoned, you don’t even know this boy very well. The girl agreed sullenly and went to her room. Calling her friend, she made plans to pretend to spend the night there while really going to the party. Her friend agreed and the girl tricked her parents into letting her stay with her close friend. Saying goodbye to her parents the girl left to her friends house where she told the boy to pick her up. The boy arrived on time and they left for the party. The girl felt so excited to be with the boy that she liked, that at first she didn’t mind that he was drinking. Soon, even she had consumed alcohol and was feeling good about coming. Waviing goodbye they both piled into the car, with the boy driving. As they drove, he kept on swerving and increasing the speed. You’re going to fast! she complained giggling a bit. Suddenly the boy crossed a red light and crashed into a car that was turning in front of them.
Two days later the girl woke up in the hospital. Looking around she spotted a nurse sitting in the corner. The nurse smiled and asked how she was feeling. The girl could only nod her head before quickly asking what had happened. The nurse lowered her eyes as she explained that her crush had survived but the people in the other car had died. The girl felt tears welling up in her eyes as she thought about their families. As they began to fall down her face the girl pleaded for the nurse to tell the deceased’s families how sorry she was. Looking at the girl with anguished eyes, the nurse turned her head away and quickly got up. Please! the girl cried out. Tell them I’m so sorry! Nodding her head once the nurse fled from the room, hiding the tears that were already streaming donw her own two cheeks. How could she be the one to tell the girl, that the people who died that night, that were in the other car were her parents returning home from the restaraunt?
“Every day we make choices, and every night we must sleep with the consequences of those choices.”
This was claimed to be a true story.

A married couple in their early 60s were out celebrating their 35th wedding anniversary in a quiet, romantic little restaurant.
Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table and said, “For being such an exemplary married couple and for being faithful to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.”
“Ooh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband” said the wife. The fairy moved her magic stick and ‘ abracadabra! ‘ two tickets for the new Queen Mary 2 luxury liner appeared in her hands.
Now it was the husbands turn. He thought for a moment and said: “Well this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this only occurs once in a lifetime, so, I’m sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me”.
The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish…
So the fairy made a circle with her magic stick and - abracadabra! the husband became 92 years old.
The moral of this story…
Men might be ungrateful idiots…
But fairies are….female!

Once upon a time there was an island where all the feelings lived; Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all the others……, including Love.
One day it was announced to all of the feelings that the island was going to sink to the bottom of the ocean. So all the feelings prepared their boats to leave. Love was the only one that stayed. She wanted to preserve the island until the last possible moment. When the island was almost totally under, Love decided it was time to leave.
She began looking for someone to ask for help. Just then Richness was passing by in a grand boat. Love asked, “Richness, Can I come with you on your boat?” Richness answered, “I’m sorry,but there is a lot of silver and gold on my boat and there would be no room for you.”
Then Love decided to ask Vanity for help who was passing in a beautiful vessel. Love cried out, “Vanity, help me please.” I can’t help you”, Vanity said, “You are all wet and will damage my beautiful boat.”
Next, Love saw Sadness passing by. Love said, “Sadness, please let me go with you.” Sadness answered, “Love, I’m sorry, but, I just need to be alone now.”
Then, Love saw Happiness. Love cried out, “Happiness, please take me with you.” But Happiness was so overjoyed that he didn’t hear Love calling to him.
Love began to cry. Then, she heard a voice say, “Come Love, I will take you with me.” It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that she forgot to ask the elder his name. When they arrived on land the elder went on his way. Love realized how much she owed the elder.
Love then found Knowledge and asked, “Who was it that helped me?” “It was Time”, Knowledge answered. “But why did Time help me when no one else would?”, Love asked. Knowledge smiled and with deep wisdom and sincerity, answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is.”

I saw it on a site… was touched to read it so am sharing it with u all…. those who r waiting to say it pl do so at ur earliest b4 it is late……………..
Derick:
I guess we are the left-overs in this world.
Lily:
I think so…all of my friends have boyfriends, and we are the only the 2 people left in this world without any special person in our lives.
Derick:
Yup, I don’t know what to do.
Lily:
I know! We’ll play a game.
Derick:
What game?
Lily:
I’ll be your girlfriend for 30 days
and you will be my boyfriend.
Derick:
That’s a great plan, in fact, I don’t have anything to do
much for the following few weeks.
DAY 1:
They watch their first movie
and they both are touched by the romantic film.
DAY 4:
They went go to the beach and have a picnic. Derick and Lily have their quality time together.
DAY 12:
Derick invited Lily to a circus and they ride through a Horror House.
Lily was scared and she thought she touched Derick’s hand but she actually touched someone else’s hand they both laughed.
DAY 15:
They saw a fortune teller down the road, and they asked for their future advice.
The fortune teller said:
“My darlings, please don’t waste the time of your life, spend the rest of your time together, happily.” Then tears flowed out from the teller’s eyes.
DAY 20:
Lily invited Derick to go to the hill
and they saw a meteor; Lily mumbled something.
DAY 28:
They sat on the bus, and because of a bumpy road Lily gave her first kiss to Derick by accident.
DAY 29:
11:37 pm:
Lily and Derick sat in the park where they first decided to play this game.
Derick:
I’m tired Lily…Do you want anything to drink? I’ll buy you one…I’ll just go down the road.
Lily:
An Apple Juice, that’s all. Thank you.
Derick:
Wait for me.
20 minutes later
A stranger approached Lily
Stranger:
Are you a friend of Derick?
Lily:
Yes, why? What happened?
Stranger:
A reckless drunk driver ran over Derick, and he is in critical condition in the hospital.
11:57 pm:
The doctor walked out of the emergency room; he handed Lily an apple juice and a letter.
Doctor:
We found this in Derick’s pocket.
Lily reads the letter and it says:
Lily, These past few weeks, I realized you are a really cute girl, and I am really falling for you-your cherished smile, your everything when we played this game. Before this game ends, I would like you to be my girlfriend for the rest of my life.
I love you, Lily.
Lily crumpled up the paper and shouted:
“Derick! I don’t want you to die-
I love you; remember that night when we saw a meteor and I mumbled something. I mumbled that I wish we would be together forever and that we would never have to end this game. Please don’t leave me Derick .. I love you! You can’t do this to me!”
Then the clock strikes 12…
Derick’s heart stopped pumping…
It was the 30th day.
