A NEEDLE CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT
You may have received this information before but nevertheless, it is good to know.....
Keep a syringe or needle in your home to do this... It's amazing and an unconventional way of recovering from stroke, read it through it can help somebody one day.
This is amazing. Please keep this very handy... Excellent tips. Do take a minute to read this. You'll never know. One's life may depend on you.
When a stroke occurs, stay calm.
No matter where the victim is,do not move him/her. Because, if moved, the capillaries will burst. Help the victim to sit up where he is to prevent him from falling over again, and then the bloodletting can begin. If you have in your home an injection syringe that would be the best, otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight pin will do.
1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it, and then use it to prick the tip of all 10 fingers.
2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about a mm from the fingernail.
3. Prick till blood comes out.
4. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.
5. When all 10 digits is bleeding,wait a few minutes then the victim will regain consciousness.
6. If the victim's mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they are red.
7. Then prick each ear lobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each ear lobe. After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness.
Wait till the victim regain his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital, otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance in a hurry to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst.

Hyderabad unplug
Although people consider global warming as a serious problem, they do not clearly understand its causes, impacts and solutions. It's important we tailor awareness initiatives highlighting seriousness of global warming and the measures that can be taken at the individual level.
As an effort in this direction, the event 'Hyderabad Unplug', supported by WWF - India , urges Hyderabad citizens to switch off lights and electrical appliances for an hour on May 3, 2008 from 7.30 to 8.30 pm. as an expression of solidarity to the fight against global warming.
This event shows that, together, our small actions can make a difference in the fight against climate change. By switching off the lights for one hour on May 03, individuals, businesses and households in Hyderabad will demonstrate a collective concern about climate change and accept responsibility to reduce the impact of global warming in the long run.
Hyderabad Unplug also strives to educate the citizens of Hyderabad ; especially the households, that judicious use of electricity will not only reduce the impact of global warming, but also promote equitable power distribution for rural areas.
