"I am 48 years and work selling in the streets . My right leg got swollen, but I didn't put much attention to that till the swelling became more and more. Then I had to go to a Medical Center for an exam. That was on November 21st, 2008. I was suffering from kidney insufficiency for 5 months before I came to know
about Homa Therapy. I was in bed and took medications, but without experiencing improvement. The doctors indicated that I  had  to do three times dialysis per week for the rest of my life, but thanks to Homa Therapy I am alive and I am well without dialysis.

his wife, Cristina Casare at Dr. Montufar's Clinic.

"I am 35 years old and I live in Guayaquil, Ecuador. I am Alberto Montenegro's wife. In the month of November, my husband fell sick with a swollen leg. I took him to a clinic where they did some exams and they found out that his Creatinine and Urea levels were very high. The director of the medical center told him that he had only one month to live. Since I did not believe that, I took him to the hospital. I looked for 5 private doctors and they all told me the same, that my husband didn't have more than one month to live.

Not knowing what to do, I managed to have him hospitalized, even though the doctors did not want to hospitalize him. Well, after 15 days in the hospital, his swelling got better and seeing him stable, I was told to take him home and that the only way to save his life was through regular dialysis. Each dialysis costs 70 dollars and he needed three per week. Since our economy couldn't handle this kind of expenses, my husband decided not to get treated and simply die.

Not knowing what to do, I continued visiting the hospital, but the doctor didn't give me any medicines for him. What they told me was, "that he would die".

My desperation was so big, that I spoke to any person I met about my husband. Thank God, I met a lady in that same hospital, the one who prepared the food there. I asked her what I could feed my husband, since the food I gave him seemed to be harmful. The lady told me that I should take him to a therapy center and that there he might have a chance to survive. She gave me a testimony about her nephew, who have had the same illness  and who was treated with Homa Therapy successfully.

That same day, I met Dr. Montufar and learned about Homa Therapy. But truly I was not sure if that could help him. There, listening to the testimonies of patients, who were treated, I went home and talked to my husband and told him that this was our only chance. My husband was more dead than alive.

The first day I placed Agnihotra ash below his tongue, he started to talk, which he could not do anymore. On the third day of giving him Agnihotra ash, my husband showed enthusiasm and energy. He got up from bed, which he had not done in a long time. We give all our gratitude to Dr. Montufar who facilitated us the Homa medicine and Therapy. My husband now is joyful and he can work. But most important, he is alive and healthy.

We had to go to another consultation with the doctor from the hospital and we told him that my husband had not received any dialysis. The doctor was very surprised to see my husband so well and he asked my husband everything: do you eat?, do you urinate?, etc. My husband responded to all questions with: Yes, yes. And we told the doctor the truth that my husband was doing  Homa Therapy. The doctor suggested to do some more exams, but we have not returned to him because we have faith in Homa Therapy.

My husband also suffered from kidney stones, but he expelled them after 3 days with Homa Therapy and following all of Dr. Montufar's indications. We thank God for having given us Homa Therapy."

"HOME"

Do you want to see a wonderful and educative movie about our HOME?
We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children. Everyone should take part in the effort,and HOME has been conceived to take a message of mobilization out to every human being.

For this purpose, HOME needs to be free. A patron, the PPR Group, made this possible. EuropaCorp, the distributor, also pledged not to make any profit because Home is a non-profit film. We can acknowledge the problems but we also have the Answer: Homa Therapy

HOME has been made for you : share it! And act for the planet.

10 Things the Food Industry Doesn't Want You to Know
Two nutrition experts argue that you can't take marketing campaigns at face value
By Adam Voiland
Posted October 17, 2008

1. Junk food makers spend billions advertising unhealthy foods to kids.
According to the Federal Trade Commission, food makers spend some $1.6 billion annually to reach children through the traditional media as well the Internet, in-store advertising, and sweepstakes
2. The studies that food producers support tend to minimize health concerns associated with their products.
"If a study is funded by the industry, it may be closer to advertising than science,"
3. Junk food makers donate large sums of money to professional nutrition associations.
The American Dietetic Association, for example, accepts money from companies such as Coca-Cola, which get access to decision makers in the food and nutrition marketplace via ADA events and programs
4. More processing means more profits, but typically makes the food less healthy.
The big bucks stem from turning government-subsidized commodity crops—mainly corn, wheat, and soybeans—into fast foods, snack foods, and beverages. High-profit products derived from these commodity crops are generally high in calories and low in nutritional value.
5. Less-processed foods are generally more satiating than their highly processed counterparts.
Fresh apples have an abundance of fiber and nutrients that are lost when they are processed into applesauce.
6. Many supposedly healthy replacement foods are hardly healthier than the foods they replace.
In 2006, for example, major beverage makers agreed to remove sugary sodas from school vending machines. But the industry mounted an intense lobbying effort that persuaded lawmakers to allow sports drinks and vitamin waters.
7. A health claim on the label doesn't necessarily make a food healthy.
Health claims such as "zero trans fats" or "contains whole wheat" may create the false impression that a product is healthy when it's not.
8. Food industry pressure has made nutritional guidelines confusing.
As far back as 1977, officials attempted to include the advice "reduce consumption of meat" in an important report called Dietary Goals for the United States.
9. The food industry funds front groups that fight anti-obesity public health initiatives.
Unless you follow politics closely, you wouldn't necessarily realize that a group with a name like the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) has anything to do with the food industry.
10. The food industry works aggressively to discredit its critics.
The bottom line, is quite simple: Kids need to eat less, include more fruits and vegetables, and limit the junk food.
