HANDEDNESS

Chirality is a chemical term that means handedness. Although two chemical molecules may appear to have the same elements and similar properties, they can still have different structures. When two molecules appear identical and their structures differ only by being mirror images of each other, those molecules are said to have chirality. Your left and right hands illustrate chirality. Your hands may appear to be identical, but in reality, they are only mirror images of each other, hence the term handedness. For this reason, chirality can exist as a right-handed or a left-handed molecule, and each individual molecule is called an optical isomer.

Welcome to the future of true anti aging skin care, and all the future breakthroughs that chiral science can and will make possible!
The science of optically corrected organic compounds is called Chirality, which
 is taken from kheir, the Greek word for "handed". The science of optically 
corrected organic compounds is called Chirality, which is taken from kheir, the
Greek word for "handed". In short, the science of chirality began with Louis
 Pasteur, who discovered that biologically active molecules often occur in two
mirror image forms called isomers or simply stated ‐ hands. You could 
visualize these "hands" as “sides” whose only similarity is that they look
alike. Although they are stereo images of each other,the chirally correct side
is Mr. Hyde and the chirally incorrect side is Dr.Jekyll.
The process of unzipping or separating these two sides, is called "chiral
resolution, and the end result is that the chirally correct side can be isolated
 and used in highly beneficial ways, and the dangerous rogue side discarded.

When A Compound Has Not Been Chirally Corrected


It can cause devastating side‐effects in the human body, and the reason that pharmaceutical companies are spending upwards of $100 billion annually on both chiral research and the "chiral correction" of their drugs, is because they now know that many of the unfortunate side‐effects of prescription drugs are caused by chiral incorrectness!

Human Beings Are Chirally Sensitive And Chirally Pure

At this point in our human evolutionary history, the biochemistry of the 
human body is becoming increasingly chirally selective and chirally
pure ‐ partially due to environmental attack and toxin overload.

Kyra™ works because it actually addresses the chirally pure nature of the
human body on a molecular level. Remember, "chiral incorrectness" and
 thevuse of petroleum byproducts are the two principal reasons that mainstream skin care really can't offer us any hope of delivering
meaningful results.
On the other hand, if an active ingredient is chirally correct ‐ meaning 
it has the right optical activity so as to be recognized and "fit" the
chemistry of the  human body, it will do the job nature designed
 it to do.

Liquid Crystals


Every cell in your body, and every part of each cell, from your DNA to 
the cell membrane, exists in a liquid crystal stateAs we age,
 our organs begin to lose their liquid crystal integrity. Just as 
broken gears in a watch would cause  the timepiece to "lose time", 
such is the case with the structure of our skin, when these liquid 
crystalline structures "unlock".

In the absence of this stability, our skin's optically correct/active
 building blocks are no longer interlocking and meshing seamlessly, 
and we show visible signs of aging. The ability of Kyra™ to 
supply the skin with optically active Liquid Crystals replenishes 
these "microscopic gears" and keeps them interlocking and turning 
correctly. This in turn enables the physiology of the skin to both 
regenerate and even reverse some of the obvious signs of aging.

Today, the FDA in the United States has mandated the "chiral correction"
 of the top 100 selling prescriptive drugs. Further, they will not 
approve any new drugs that are not chirally "resolved".

Many biologically active molecules are chiral, including the naturally occurring amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) and sugars. In biological systems, most of these compounds are of the same chirality: most amino acids are L and sugars are D. Typical naturally occurring proteins, made of L amino acids, are known as left-handed proteins, whereas D amino acids produce right-handed proteins.
The origin of this homochirality in biology is the subject of much debate.[14] Most scientists believe that Earth life's "choice" of chirality was purely random, and that if carbon-based life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, their chemistry could theoretically have opposite chirality. However, there is some suggestion that early amino acids could have formed in comet dust. In this case, circularly polarised radiation (which makes up 17% of stellar radiation) could have caused the selective destruction of one chirality of amino acids, leading to a selection bias which ultimately resulted in all life on Earth being homochiral.[15]
Enzymes, which are chiral, often distinguish between the two enantiomers of a chiral substrate. Imagine an enzyme as having a glove-like cavity that binds a substrate. If this glove is right-handed, then one enantiomer will fit inside and be bound, whereas the other enantiomer will have a poor fit and is unlikely to bind.

However, the problem with chirality goes even deeper. As nucleotide molecules come together to form the structure of DNA, they develop a twist that forms the double helix structure of DNA. DNA develops a twist in the chain because each component contains chirality or handedness. It is this handedness that gives DNA the spiral shaped helical structure. If one molecule in the DNA structure had the wrong chirality, DNA would not exist in the double helix form, and DNA would not function properly. The entire replication process would be derailed like a train on bad railroad tracks. In order for DNA evolution to work, billions of molecules within our body would have to be generated with the "R" configuration all at the same time, without error. If it is impossible for one nucleotide to be formed with chirality, how much less likely would it be for billions of nucleotides to come together exactly at the same time, and all of them be formed with the same chirality? If evolution cannot provide a mechanism that forms one product with chirality, how can it explain the formation of two products of opposite chirality?

PERSONAL HYGIENE

136. He who desires to be pure, must clean the organ by one (application of) earth, the anus by (applying earth) three (times), the (left) hand alone by (applying it) ten (times), and both (hands) by (applying it) seven (times).


The use of toilet paper for post-defecation cleansing was first started in China. It became widespread in Western culture. In some parts of the world, especially before toilet paper was available or affordable, the use of newspaper, telephone directory pages, or other paper products were common. Old Farmer's Almanac was sold with a hole punched in the corner so it could be hung on a nail in an outhouse. The widely-distributed Sears Roebuckcatalog was also a popular choice until it began to be printed on glossy paper (at which point some people wrote to the company to complain).[2][3] With modern flush toilets, using newspaper as toilet paper is liable to cause blockages. This practice continues today in parts of Africa; while rolls of Western-style toilet paper are readily available, they can be fairly expensive, prompting less well-off members of the community to use newspapers.


The first "paperless" toilet was invented in Japan in 1980. Called a "spray toilet," it is a combination of toilet, bidet and drier, controlled by an electronic panel next to the toilet seat. Some modern Japanese bidet toilets, especially in hotels and public areas, are labeled with pictograms to avoid language problems, and most newer models have a sensor that will refuse to activate the bidet unless someone is sitting on the toilet.


In France, toilet sanitation was supplemented by the invention of the bidet in the 1710s. With the improvements to plumbing in the mid- to late 19th century, the bidet moved from the bedroom (where it was kept with the chamber pot) to the bathroom. Modern bidets use a stream of warm water to cleanse the genitals and anus. Before modern plumbing, bidets sometimes had a hand-crank to achieve the same effect. The bidet is commonplace in many European countries, especially in Spain (30%), Portugal (70%), Italy (95%) and Greece, and also in Japan where approximately half of all households have a form of bidet (often combined with the toilet in a single appliance). It is also very popular in the Middle East.
In India and the Indian subcontinent, over 95% of the population use water with or without soap for cleansing the anal area after defecating. In places where water is scarce or not closely available, a stone or similar hard material is used instead. Use of paper as in the western world is rare in this region and is seen only in some urban and westernised societies. The cleaning of hands after this cleanising process is mandatory and is done using soap. If soap is not available, soil, ash or sand could be used to clean the used hand or both hands.

In Turkey, all Western-style toilets have a small nozzle on the rear of the toilet aiming at the anus. This nozzle is called taharet musluğu and it is controlled by a small tap placed within hand's reach near the toilet. It is used to wash the anus before wiping and drying with toilet paper. Turkish style toilets do not have a nozzle; a bowl of water is used instead.

Similarly in Japan, a nozzle placed at rear of the toilet bowl aims a water jet to the anus and serves the purpose of cleaning; however, this arrangement is common only in Western-style toilets, and is not incorporated in traditional designs.
In the U.S. and UK bidets are not yet as popular as in continental Europe and the Middle East, but are slowly becoming more common. Attachable stainless steel or plastic bidets that are fixed to existing toilets are gaining popularity as they are easy to use and cheap.
Another alternative resembles a miniature shower and is known as a "health faucet" or a bidet shower. It is commonly placed in an alcove to the right hand side of the toilet where it is easy to reach. These are commonly used in the Muslim world. In the Indian subcontinent, a lota vessel is often used to cleanse with water.

My view:

If one would notices these articles in Parts 1 and 2, it can be concluded that westerners have made an effort to avoid use of hands altogether. In South Asia, use of left hand is prevalent. I would caution the use of left hand, as it could induce chiral incompatibility in the body. It is better not to use any hand than resort to left hand. I would suggest the use for right hand. Though hygiene freaks will scorn at the idea. If one uses adequate sop for hand washing, germs and bacteria could be removed altogether and chiral compatibility could be the added advantage.  


Also, chiral incompatibilty helps the gravity to invade your body faster. As per the article below, in human body chakras spin in clockwise direction. So right side lifts the energy upwards and left side of the body pushes it downwards completing a loop. 



"Inside the human body are millions and millions of tiny whirling vital life forces concentrated into  centres called Chakras. Chakra means wheel in Sanskrit because these energies spin at these points rotating clockwise at a certain frequency. The Chakra is a subtle energy centre that normally cannot be  perceived. The activity resembles a galaxy of planets, each spinning on its axis at points along the spinal cord. Each Chakra is designed to supervise and maintain the perfect operation of the bodily systems under its control. This purification is done by spinning in pure or positive vibrations and spinning out impure or negative ones.
An understanding of what each Chakra attracts and what can disturb it is important for our well being. Each thought and action influence the sensitiveness and performance of these centres. Immediately after Self-Realization these Chakras are activated and initially begin the slow process of clearing the gross negativity accumulated by years of neglect or self-destructive activities like drugs, drinking, violence, anger, hatred, fanaticism, sexual deviation and so on. The benefits are almost immediate; small anxieties decrease and some joy and objectivity begins to manifest, and the blocked Chakras begin to rotate properly again."


All the facts stated are purely conceptual and a lot of theoretical research has to be done to corroborate the views expressed along-with the practical application on large number of people to validate the appropriateness
