Fortunate to visit with Dr Venkatesh- a man on a noble mission offering free dialysis to the needy. He established a 100-bed free dialysis unit in New Delhi with philanthropic support from a Gurudwara. Thanks to his effort, many ESRD patients who cannot afford dialysis are alive.

Tropical berry fruits that have many beneficial medicinal properties! The green one is called Phyllanthus Acidus or Arai Nellikkai (Tamil). The red one is called Surinam berry (Eugenia Uniflora). Both berries are rich in vitamin C and flavonoids.
