Hmmm.... one mile from Amma's ashram is my  ancestral home. I have

never really lived there, but my ancestors have been  there for at

least 20 generations. Yeah I agree that sand is annoying, have  to keep

washing them away all the time. I know of absolutely no one in  my

family who had cancer, not a single person I know in my extended  died

early on. My grandad passed away at the ripe old age of 85 - he was  a

famous lawyer of the area and towards the end of his life he  lived

only on raw cow's milk (not even boiled), supposedly this has  some

good properties if the cow is taken care of properly. I have  never

seen any 85 year old with so much energy, well, so much for  the

protein theory!!!

 

I have a great-great aunt who is in her 90's  and still going strong.

All my grand-uncles and great-granduncles are in  their 50's to 70's, I

do not know of anyone having any health problems.  Oddly enough, the

only relatives I know with health issues live outside of  India. So

much for the radioactive BS :-).

 

On my visits to the  ashram, my observation was that most of the people

there looked remarkably  healthy and energetic and very happy. Sure

there will be a small number of  people with health issues. So I am

confused now, are we even talking of the  same place here LOL? I guess

one has the choice to see the glass as half  empty or half full.

::If you read the scientific article on this, the native people have  somehow

developed a genetic mutation making them immune to the effects of  radiation

as far as cancer. I think there are a lot of birth defects and  disabilities

though. So, you are not seeing the full picture. My concern remains  for the

non-Keralites and Westerners particularly; they are not included in  those who

have adapted over countless generations to this extremely high  radioactive

site.I read that it is the equivalent of 300 chest Xrays per  year!  I think

anyone would agree that is unacceptable, by world standards  and common sense. The

only real argument is that the body is going to die  anyway, so why not

expose yourself to 300 chest Xrays per year. Isn't it  something of an ethical

issue, since few know about this risk?  Avram
