The Future Was Always Here! a short story by Valerian Mendonça

Year 2025 ‘Shooting Star’ is on its first ever inter-galactic expedition. Two years later, the spacecraft encounters a black hole and the galactic flux causes a major malfunction and it loses contact with the base station.

With all controls lost, it is free floating – aimless, perhaps directed by the forces of the Universe.

Until eventually, one day, the craft along with the crew and passengers are rescued by the inhabitants of a distant planet, Carbonium, more than 1500 light years away, beyond the Orion nebula.

Read on and be a part of the survivors’ exciting discovery of a new life form and their amazing medical science.

Would they ever return to planet Earth? Find out!

Drug Interaction and its side effects - Is your doctor factoring drug interaction while prescribing?

In the US, 3 to 7% of all hospitalizations are due to Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR). ADRs occur during 10 to 20% of hospitalizations; about 10 to 20% of these ADRs are severe. If countries like USA which has a stringent food and drug administration get millions of patients who suffer adverse drug reaction then the scale of adverse drug reaction in a populous country like India, where controls are lax and reporting tardy. This would be a similar story in other developing and under-developed nations. The most common categories of drugs withdrawn in the last decade ( Developed Countries) were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (28%), anti-diabetics (14.28%), anti-obesity (14.28%), antihistamines (14.28%), gastroprokinetic drugs (7.14%), breast cancer and infertility drugs (7.14%), irritable bowel syndrome and constipation drugs (7.14%) and antibiotics (7.14%).

Britto Joseph s.j. a Jesuit Priest, belonging to the Madurai Province, is credited with evangelizing and proselytizing Naturopathy and Homoeopathy in India.

The laid back citizenry is in a grip of respiratory disorders which is now trending towards an endemic proportion and this has led to frantic efforts by its people to right every wrong.

Those who work in salt pans have their share of disorder, and so do those working in iron, lead, and even gold mines. The coal mine work...
