PARTHA BAGCHI (STAMMERING CURE CENTRE)-Is he taking advantage in the name of cure?  Dear All,

I would like to share my experience at Stammering Cure Centre, Bangalore, India, a centre founded by Mr. Partha Bagchi who claims to cure stammering in two weeks (details of which you can find at (www.stammeringcurecentre.com)) .  Before I start I would like to state in no way, I would like to demoralize all those people who attended this centre and believes to be completely cured, I am really happy for those people who have been able to cure themselves after attending his course, it is actually a manifestation that they have accepted their problem, changed their speaking style and controlled the flow of speech.  However, I would like to raise some serious questions regarding his claim to cure stammering in two weeks and also the techniques that he uses in his claim for fluency.  I attended his center sometimes back and although I practiced daily for few months as he advised, I still suffer from blocking problems and there is occasional fumbling of words, but I control it and this control I have learnt to use even before attending Stammering Cure Centre and it has been strengthened after I met a local speech therapist .Two of the persons who attended the centre and with whom I am in contact have lost faith in Mr. Bagchi’s techniques as they discovered 100 % cure are not possible, but yes they have accepted their problem and is trying to refine the art of controlling their speech.  Let me make some points below (please note the statements which I have included within quotation marks “…….”  are self made statements made by Mr. Bagchi in his website, his book ‘STAMMERING A SURE CURE’ and practice material book. 

1) What exactly is cure and fluency?  Before entering the room where there were 15-16 guys practicing with him, I had a one to one discussion with Mr. Bagchi in his office room where he told me that stammering is curable and asked me to remove all the debris from my mind.  Curable in what sense?  Is it a complete recovery and then speaking like a non-stutterer?  The meaning of the word ‘‘CURE” looks ambiguous in this case.  In my opinion the word curable is in fact not the right term that has been used, rather the term controllable should be used because even the end result of Mr. Bagchi’s training is to form a new style of speaking in the medium lengthening style which is the style Mr. Bagchi advised all participants to follow lifelong.  I am very sorry to say that Mr.Bagchi has a very clever and guileful way of impressing upon his students, who come to attend his therapy, that stammering is curable.  Slowing down the rate of speech to speak in the medium lengthening style is nothing but an act of controlling the speech.  As far as I can understand 100 % cure is not possible and there is no known cure for this problem. 

What fluency is Mr. Bagchi talking about?  Mr. Bagchi states “Immediately join my course, then there is no power on the earth to stop you from speaking normally fluently and confidently’’ as if he wants to imply in 2 weeks time a stutterer will turn into a non stutterer and the use of the word ‘immediately’ is not appropriate at all .Here some might argue that Mr. Bagchi has advised to continue the practice for 8 months as overnight improvement is not possible.  I agree but then why does he falsely advertise in his website using words like “ EXCLUSIVE CRASH COURSE to cure any type of stammering SURELY IN TWO WEEKS”(good way of drawing attention of people…)A perfect fluency is very hard to achieve, even today I cannot speak the way that my friends or any one of my family members speak.  I agree that fluency is an expression of powerful and effective language, an expression of one’s ideas, thoughts in a clear manner and for stutterers ,it is the acceptance of his problem and his will power not to let this problem bottle up or inhibit his/her mode of communication and clear expression...

...HISTORY
With a fast-growing reputation as India's high-tech capital, Bangalore is fulfilling a prophecy first uttered almost a century ago. 
India's fastest growing city is a study in urban contrasts where satellite dishes, sleek office towers and industrial parks are interspersed with the traditional symbols of Indian society embodied by ancient temples and the aroma of incense. 
Jawaharal Nehru, India's first prime minister and a leader in the nation's drive for independence in the 1930s and '40s, had an uncanny ability as a soothsayer.  Nehru's prediction that Bangalore was destined to be India's City of the Future proved right on target.  The capital of southern India's Karnataka state, Bangalore ranks as one of India's most prosperous and progressive cities and a pace-setter in software development and the IT industry.  Dubbed the Silicon Valley of India, it is moving boldly into the 21st century, propelled by some of the best and brightest technological and scientific minds in the world.

Looking at Bangalore today - with its population of 6.5 million - it's difficult to believe the city literally rose from the mud almost 500 years ago.  Bangalore dates from 1537 when chieftain Kempe Gowda settled here and constructed a mud fort surrounded by four watchtowers.  Hindu temples and dwellings followed as the population expanded over the next three centuries while enduring intervals of war...

...What Philosophical problem was the primary concern of the Pre-Socratics? 
The pre-Socratics were primarily focused on exploring the main cause of the creation of the world and the basic substance of everything around us.  They questioned the one and the many.  Instead of acknowledging many of the more traditional mythological explanations of the time for the natural phenomena they saw in the world such as solar eclipses, they searched for rational and logical explanations.  Their primary concern was the search of the most basic substance that everything around them was made of.  Thales was the first of these philosophers to try to answer this fundamental problem.  He saw that water could be turned into air when it is heated and into ice when frozen so he hypothesized that the most basic substance from which everything arose from was water.  He seemed to view the earth as solidifying from the water on which it floated and surrounded the ocean.  Anaximander, which was a student of Thales, claimed that the substance wasn't water or any of the other elements.  It was actually something that was infinite and indefinite, calling it "Apeiron".  Apeiron was a substance that lacked qualities but was unlimited.  It differentiated primary opposites such as the cold and fire, and the wet and dry.  It is basically a higher, living force that guides the natural process, allowing it to create everything around us.  His student, Anaximinies also believed that the substance was infinite however;...

Introduction
According to encyclopedia air pollution is the introduction of particles, biological molecules or other harmful material into the earth atmosphere.  Possible causing diseases, death to human, damage to other living organisms. 
The Vaal Triangle is a highly industrialized area housing numerous industries, a coal fired power station, with various smaller industrial and commercial activities in addition to a few mines and giving rise to noxious and offensive gasses.  The Vaal Triangle is also home to a number of large informal settlements mainly using coal and wood as fuel source.  This in impacts directly on the health and wellbeing of the people residing there. 
Air pollution is very dangerous and hence people know about it but they do not know the effect and according to the 2014 World Health Organization report, air pollution in 2012 caused the deaths of around 7 million people worldwide.  India has the highest death rate due to air pollution.  India also has more deaths from asthma than any other nation according to the World Health Organization.  In December 2013 air pollution was estimated to kill 500,000 people in China...

...Is the Cure for HIV POSSIBLE? 
CCR5 delta 32 is important in the world of Microbiology from genetics, gene therapy, Immunity and infectious diseases, such as HIV, and may offer a promising new approach to target the HIV virus. 
CCR5, also known as C chemokine receptor type 5, is located on the short (p) arm at position 21 on chromosome 3.  This is a genetic mutation that some human beings have inherited and carry and makes them resistant protecting them against HIV or partially immune to HIV.  This rare mutated gene provides immunity to the deadly disease by preventing the HIV virus from entering the cells.  HIV needs to attach to the CCR5 receptor to infect CD4 + T cells.  The individuals with this mutation either have no CCR5 receptors or have fewer CCR5 receptors than an average person.  The 32 base pair deletion (delta 32) in the gene for the human chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is responsible for this, thus preventing HIV entry. ( Wikipedia. “ CCR5.” < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CCR5)
The way this process works is HIV can only enter certain target cells by special proteins called receptors, these receptors stay on the outside of cells to receive messages and transit them onto the cell.  HIV grabs onto cells that have the receptor called CD4, the CD4 receptors are an important part of the body’s system for fighting all diseases.  HIV slowly destroys these cells and weakens the immune system of those infected.  CD4 isn’t enough to fight all diseases, so with the...
