BNT Technology is a natural blood preserver as the above simple home experiments demonstrate.

A pin-prick drop of blood from a finger - one exposed to the BNT sticker and the other in control conditions, clearly showed the blood preservation capabilities of BNT.

Came across a link to the National Geographic Greendex Survey. It’s basically a survey about environmentally sustainable consumption among consumers in 14 countries. It threw up some pretty interesting results. The Greendex Map has a nice interactive pop-up screen that explains the survey results from each country. Interesting results from India and Brazil.

Let’s just hope that its not too late to save the world!

Since 1970, April 22 has marked the celebration of Earth Day, started by Gaylord Nelson, an American Senator who sought to put the environment on the national agenda.

The first Earth Day saw 20 million Americans take to the streets to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment.

Earth Day went global in 1990 mobilising 200 million people in 141 countries, giving a huge boost to recycling efforts that paved the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

Since then, Earth Day has gone from strength to strength, linking people across the planet in the fight for a clean environment. Now it’s your turn. Think green and find ways to save energy, recycle used items and clean up your environment - be it at home, at school or at the office.

From the same article, here are a few ways to participate and make our Earth a better and safer place:

Green your school>> Say NO to Plastic Bags Get your school art class to start a project where students design a reusable cloth shopping bag. Get out the paint jars and print a personal environmental message on your own reusable bag and don’t forget to take it along with you when you hit the shops.>> Start Recycling - If your school doesn’t have one already, organise a recycling programme that will reduce waste and recycle materials. Hold elections to vote in classmates to become ‘governors’ of school recycling, in order to make sure the job gets done.

Featured above is a news clipping from 1998, when NO researchers were awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine.  It’s been 10 long years. The future of Earth and mankind is at the crossroads. BNT Technology can definitely pave the way for a new era of green living.

An excerpt is reproduced below from the Nobel website about the revolutionary discovery of the health benefits of Nitric Oxide (on which BNT is based):

Importance in medicine today and tomorrow
Heart: In atherosclerosis, the endothelium has a reduced capacity to produce NO. However, NO can be furnished by treatment with nitroglycerin. Large efforts in drug discovery are currently aimed at generating more powerful and selective cardiac drugs based on the new knowledge of NO as a signal molecule.

Shock: Bacterial infections can lead to sepsis and circulatory shock. In this situation, NO plays a harmful role. White blood cells react to bacterial products by releasing enormous amounts of NO that dilate the blood vessels. The blood pressure drops and the patient may become unconscious. In this situation, inhibitors of NO synthesis may be useful in intensive care treatment.

Lungs: Intensive care patients can be treated by inhalation of NO gas. This has provided good results and even saved lives. For instance, NO gas has been used to reduce dangerously high blood pressure in the lungs of infants. But the dosage is critical since the gas can be toxic at high concentrations.

Cancer: White blood cells use NO not only to kill infectious agents such as bacteria, fungi and parasites, but also to defend the host against tumours. Scientists are currently testing whether NO can be used to stop the growth of tumours since this gas can induce programmed cell death, apoptosis.

Impotence: NO can initiate erection of the penis by dilating the blood vessels to the erectile bodies. This knowledge has already led to the development of new drugs against impotence.

Diagnostic analyses: Inflammatory diseases can be revealed by analysing the production of NO from e.g. lungs and intestines. This is used for diagnosing asthma, colitis, and other diseases.

NO is important for the olfactory sense and our capacity to recognise different scents. It may even be important for our memory.

Dr.Chandrasekhar has carried the findings further with BNT and demonstrated its applications in the food preservation industry, as a bio-shield, smoke filter etc.

A new study by an Indian-origin neurosurgeon has shown that cell phone use could kill more people than smoking, because of its possible association with brain cancer.

Dr Vini Khurana, a staff specialist neurosurgeon at the Canberra Hospital and an associate professor of neurosurgery at the Australian National University, said heavy usage of mobile phones might turn out to be a greater threat to human health than smoking and even asbestos.

To support his finding, Khurana conducted a 15-month ‘critical review’ of the link between mobile phones and malignant brain tumours, and said that using mobiles for more than 10 years could result in more than double the risk of brain cancer.

In order to curb this danger, he has urged for ‘immediate and decisive steps’ by industry and governments to reduce people’s exposure to invisible electromagnetic radiation emitted by handsets.

He has also asked to begin a ’solid scientific study’ observing heavy mobile phone users for a period of at least 10-15 years.

‘It is anticipated that this danger has far broader public health ramifications than asbestos and smoking, and directly concerns all of us, particularly the younger generation, including very young children,’ the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Khurana, as saying.

However, he added that it is not that smoking was better for people than using mobile phones, but mobile-phone related health issues were a lot more dangerous and affected a far greater number of people.
He pointed out that currently there were 3 billion mobile phone users worldwide, and the number is growing with each passing day. In fact, people started using them as young as three.

He underlined that mobile phone radiation could result in heating up the side of the head or potentially thermoelectrically interact with the brain, while Bluetooth devices and ‘unshielded’ headsets could ‘convert the user’s head into an effective, potentially self-harming antenna’.

Khurana indicated that there had been increased reports of brain tumours linked with heavy and prolonged mobile phone use, particularly on the same side as the person’s ‘preferred ear’ for making calls.

However, Chris Althaus, chief executive of the industry body, the Australian Mobile Telecommunications Association, rejected Khurana’s conclusions, saying handsets were designed, built and tested to comply with strict science-based guidelines.

He also pointed out to a 2000 World Health Organisation fact sheet, which said no recent reviews had concluded that exposure to the radiofrequency fields from mobile phones and their base stations caused any adverse health consequences.

But this was denied by WHO, saying that there were ‘gaps in knowledge’ that required further research to better assess health risks, which would take several years to complete. Even Khurana said that the WHO fact sheet was irrelevant in this instance because ‘most of the worrisome data has been surfacing in the last 12-24 months’.

Another fact sheet on the NSW Cancer Council’s website said stressed for further research as not much was known on the long-term effects of electromagnetic field exposure.

Khurana said there is a time-gap of 10-20 years between the starting of regular mobile phone usage to the diagnosis of a malignant solid brain tumour. And the link between mobile phones and brain tumours had not yet been ‘definitively proven’ because widespread mobile phone usage started in the mid-1980s and solid tumours might take several years to form.

‘In the years 2008-2012, we will have reached the appropriate length of follow-up time to begin to definitively observe the impact of this global technology on brain tumour incidence rates,’ said Khurana.
However, he stressed that there was already enough evidence to warrant industry and governments taking immediate action to reduce mobile phone users’ exposure to electromagnetic radiation and inform them of potential dangers.

‘Worldwide availability and use of appropriately shielded cell phones and hands-free devices including headsets, increased use of landlines and pagers instead of current mobile and cell phones, and restricted use of cellular and cordless phones among children and adults alike are likely to limit the effects of this physically invisible danger,’ said Khurana.

Now, Dr.Chandrasekaran sends in a few notes of some more of his experiments with naturally produced nitric oxide technology through his BNT Stickers. Reproducing some of his notes below:

Study of BNT Milky Way sticker of cell phone and its capacity to prevent biodegradation of cut banana fruit in NPT (4 a.m, 26 deg C)

Protocol: Fresh banana fruit cut cleanly into two halves . One half is taken as control in plain hand and other half held in palm with BNT MW stickered cell phone.

Naked eye changes, enlarged with hand lens and digital microscope studies were done at 10, 20 minutes, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours , 7 days . The results were tabulated to measure the degree of preservation offered by BNT MW stickered cellphones.

AIM: To prove the biopreservative properties of BNT MWS is due to the nanotechnology and electron transfer through the medium of human body.

Conclusion:
All the parameters go to prove the BNT MWS ability to preserve the vegetable cells at NTP for double the life time by preventing the enzymatic biodegradation through the property of nanotech transfer.

The results clearly prove the presence of Natural Nitrogen monooxide molecule released by BNT MWS acting through the medium of atmospheric air. The above technique will be useful to preserve animal tissues also safely,simply and economically eg. Human blood,organ transplants etc.

The following simple experiment demonstrates how the harmful effects of cigarettes can be eliminated with the help of BNT Stickers:

THE SETUP

Two smoker volunteers, a CO metre, a cigarette and a BNT sticker of course!

THE CONTROL  

1. Passive smoker (left) and Active  smoker (right) with CO (Carbon Monooxide meter) in background , control - 0 ppm (image below…click on the image to view larger version).

2. Active smoker’s cigarette smoke shows CO level of 43 PPM.

SMOKING CLOSE TO THE BNT STICKER

3. Active smoker continues smoking with BNT sticker (stuck on cell phone) in hand,
metre shows dramatic reduction of CO level.

4. Active smoker again smokes another fresh cigarette after resetting CO meter to zero level. The CO level goes up to 43 PPM.But the passive smoker carries BNT sticker cell phone in hand showing dramatic reduction of CO level to ZERO PPM.

IMPRESSION : The toxic gas CO from cigarette is very dramatically cut down to 0 PPM with BNT sticker using cell phone either carried by passive or active smoker.

The anti-pollution action of BNT sticker is very clearly, scientifically demonstrated by this natural technology.

Individuals and businesses will turn of non-essential lights and appliances for one hour between 8.00pm to 9.00pm on Saturday March 29 to show how people can make a difference to climate change.

Earth Hour, the brainchild of the WWF which began in Sydney, Australia in 2007, aims to traverse more than 25 cities across 14 time zones.

“Earth Hour will clearly demonstrate the connection between energy usage and climate change, showing that we as a broader community can address the biggest threat our planet has ever faced.”

Action includes turning off mobile phone chargers when not in use, switching off TV or CD players at the wall rather than leaving it on standby, extinguishing unused lights and shutting down office and home computers.
