Iranian Cure for U.S. Delta Blues

Rural healthcare solutions imported from Iran to Mississippi

aarp.org: Baptist Town, with its tumbledown clapboard shacks on the wrong side of the tracks in Greenwood, Miss., seems an unlikely spot for any kind of revolution, especially one inspired by the Islamic Republic of Iran. But soon, that Mississippi neighborhood and others like it in the Deep South may see some startling changes >>>

this was done under the shah

NO i am not a monarchist, ewwww

but this system was first implemented on the bakhtiari tribesmen under the Shah and its innovator  (Mohammad Beigi) equally despised the pahlavy and I.R regimes.

 

cheers 

 

 

In hope of a Free, Independent, Democratic and Secular Iran

Unusual?

Are we expecting less?  Millions of hardworking and smart people living in Iran.  Are we suppose to assume that all Iranians are stupid because of the IRI?!

Is weight lost so easy?  Do all overweight people have no decision power?  Have you ever heard of weight lost programs?  Have you ever thought what the reasons are for these types of programs? 

 

Please..........stop being too narrow in some subjects............

out of date

lWhy is this report of 2010 printed now?  Again, ulterior motives to politicize and criticize?  Shameful!  Tell us what has indeed happened in the Delta since last year?  Are you afraid to tell the truth that it has worked and give Iranians credit for it?

IRI has in fact been against health education as witnessed by the imprisonment of Alaii brothers who were active in prevention of AIDS in Iran.

It is not IRI.....

by Benyamin on Sun May 22, 2011 06:24 AM PDT

That have come up with this innovative system! it is the people of Iran which faced such dilema and had to invent such system. The IRI consist of bunch of "mollahs" that their knowledge of anything is out dated by a 1000 years.

Iranian people are very innovative people.

Let's be proactive

by John on Sun May 22, 2011 06:00 AM PDT

... and assume some responsibility for ourselves.  Yes, the American health care system sucks if you're poor, unemployed, or have a serious illness that will cause your HMO to dump you, but when I see an overweight woman telling us that she has congestive heart problems and high blood pressure, my first thought is that if she would lose 40 or 50 pounds and stop eating meat then she would almost certainly improve or eliminate one or both of those conditions.
