Her whole family are doing this types of business of making fool to the innocent people and earning money.. she is telling doctors are cheating people and no need of any medicines for any disease. If you have any disease that can be cured by taking diets and fruits..she dont have any general common sense about human anatomy or physiology, pathology .. only thing she can do to blame the doctor and blame the medicines.. so funy .. advising fruits to the kidney failure patient . dont have the knowledge that high potassium can bring a cardiac attack... so stop making fool to the innocent people... you don't have right to play the life of people by advising your garbage ideas.. yes medicines have some drug side effects but that does not mean you will stop taking treatment of your any disease.. your body's immune power can help to protect some extent when there is not any pathological changes. When there is any pathological changes without the aid of treatment it can not be normalise.. if you have 90% heart blockage what is the option in front of you? if you will not take any treatment you will get a heart attack. just come to acute disease- like acute pneumonia. if you will not take antibiotic and will go on eating fruits will it cure? so stupidityHarjeetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-16160937043535114312012-08-16T21:10:29.101+05:302012-08-16T21:10:29.101+05:30These are really very nice ideas here shared.

If you want to use them- consult your doctor, particularly if you are facing a fatal disease. Also, too bad there is no insurance associted with these people as they can be sued in other countries for neglegance of medical knowledge before prescribing a diet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-87638592644971780212007-09-07T10:42:00.000+05:302007-09-07T10:42:00.000+05:30hiNandita where can i find vijaya venkats healthy ...hi<BR/>Nandita <BR/>where can i find vijaya venkats healthy recipes or articles which she had writtenMahekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838929350804595150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-27328747990573535252007-04-29T22:28:00.000+05:302007-04-29T22:28:00.000+05:30Nandita,its so nice to visit your blog after so lo...Nandita,<BR/>its so nice to visit your blog after so long.

You do it as you steam any item: in a colander placed in a pot of boiling water.<BR/><BR/>Here's how I would handle the potatoes: Because potatoes are so dense, I'd cut them into quarters. Then I would place the quarters into the colander. Put a lid on the pot, keep the water at a soft boil, and give it at least 20 minutes to steam. To see if they are done, poke them with a sharp knife. If there is no resistance, they are done. It's as easy as that!<BR/><BR/>Cheers.Almost Vegetarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683148210713486393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-32727303365399615132007-04-26T21:24:00.000+05:302007-04-26T21:24:00.000+05:30I think you second link to Day 3-5 is pointing at ...I think you second link to Day 3-5 is pointing at the wrong page.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-4363719177364207462007-04-24T17:55:00.000+05:302007-04-24T17:55:00.000+05:30Infared Sauna Kid said:I'm starving after reading ...<A HREF="http://www.infaredsaunakit.com" REL="nofollow">Infared Sauna Kid</A> said:<BR/><BR/>I'm starving after reading these. bring on the cheesecakeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-71812341618138625322007-04-24T05:32:00.000+05:302007-04-24T05:32:00.000+05:30Like Bee, I also use a microwave to steam veggies....Like Bee, I also use a microwave to steam veggies.

I have one of these bamboo steamers used for Chinese cooking and one very similar to it in metal. The metal one fits perfect into any sized pot. Put a bit of water in the pot. Fit in the steamer, place your potatoes and cover. Steam for 15-20 minutes! Voila!Meeta K.

Last summer, in India, I saw some stuff by Tupperware. One of the things -- its called a Multi-Cooker is infinitely great. It is food grade plastic and can be used in the microwave for actual cooking (as ooposed to reheating). Within this, nestles a plastic collander...and that is what I use for steaming everything! I have to say that since I brought this thing, I have not boiled any veggie even once. Even the hardest, newest potatoes (cut into quarters) take about 7-8 minutes to completely steam. It does cost about Rs. 800 but you also get a idli stand. <BR/>Hope this helps!<BR/>gghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15327103936471818200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-63690559380772177842007-04-21T20:19:00.000+05:302007-04-21T20:19:00.000+05:30how to steam a potato: take potatoes in a microwav...how to steam a potato: take potatoes in a microwave safe bowl. wash them (we use the thin-skinned ones and don't peel them as peeling removes nutrients), let the water cling to the potatoes, add a tablespoon or two more if you like. cover the bowl loosely with a plastic bag (poke a hole in it), or cover it with a lid, leaving a little opening for the steam to escape. microwave on high. it takes 5-6 minutes for 4-5 medium potatoes. poke with a fork to test doneness.beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18128812845273224940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23919567.post-79327703001936251552007-04-21T19:53:00.000+05:302007-04-21T19:53:00.000+05:30Wouldn't pressure cooking be a kind of steaming to...Wouldn't pressure cooking be a kind of steaming too?
