Spring Versus Autumn

How age are you? Or how long have you being living since birth?

To simplify complications is the FIRST essential of success. (Click here) 

"I have been young, and now am old ...."(source: book od psalm 37:25) is something that all the elderly can say equally truly, though not all of them(or us) say it with the same ungrudging contentedness.

Yet age need never envy youth, any more than sunset need envy sunrise.

Call the poet, ask any artists, which is lovelier, sunrise or sunset. Normally people are more awake to sunset scenery than sunrise one. Why?

"Be of good cheer" my dear elderly friend. Life's best is not confined to immature youth. have not the elderly the truest-quality attractiveness?

Youth, like Spring, has its own charm ; yet would many of us seriously disagree with the joy of aging gracefully and lovely? Yes, Youth has charm. Who doubts it or denies? yet none the less I hold.

Few things more offend my own esteem for elderly womanhood than to see it self-lowered in the pathetic pretence of a sham youth plastered on by cosmetics artificiality, and the wearing of garments which, if they were ever really suitable even for youth, are quite unbecoming for elderly ladies. And the same for the men, some of them, not all men are boys. Oh, why must the grown and gracious tree ape the less-lovely sapling? Enlighten me if you may, Spring-youth or Autumn-elder.

The best of all cosmetics is the dear Saviour Himself Lord Jesus Christ so filling the heart that the very face (facebook friends should face friendly facts) of this elderly saint radiates the indwelling Shekinah !

I have been youth , 47 years uptodate, and now gladly enjoying old age ....

POM WONDERFUL IN TROUBLE
It has now been seven years since the Journal of the National Cancer Institute asked, rhetorically, if pomegranate were "nature's power fruit." There have now been at least 30 scientific articles on the anticancer potential of pomegranate. One company, Pom Wonderful, has been spending some of its hard-earned money furthering research in this field. Their "reward" came February 23, 2010 when the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a scathing 10-page warning letter, declaring POM Wonderful juice to be an unproven "drug," and demanding that the company stop providing health information relating to pomegranate on the company Web site.

According to the warning letter, "FDA's review found serious violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act." To understand this, you have to follow FDA's reasoning process. Each bottle of POM Wonderful juice understandably gives the company's Web address, www.pomwonderful.com. This Web site then cites various scientific studies that support the idea that pomegranate juice is a healthful beverage. According to FDA logic, this constitutes advertising. In regard to prostate cancer, the company states the following:

"In a clinical study involving 46 men with rising PSA after prostate cancer treatment (surgery or radiation) who consumed 8 ounces of POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice daily over two years, PSA doubling time increased from 15 to 54 months....PSA doubling time is an indicator of prostate cancer progression."

These are truthful statements, derived from a 2006 phase II clinical trial conducted at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). There were 14 coauthors on this study, which was published in Clinical Cancer Research (Pantuck 2006).

But according to FDA, the mere act of citing a scientific study automatically constitutes a form of advertising and turns an innocuous and healthful drink into a drug. Why? "When scientific publications are used commercially by the seller of a product to promote the product to consumers," they say, "such publications may become evidence of the product's intended use....The citation implies treatment or prevention of a disease."

POM Wonderful is not just a drug, but a "misbranded drug." Why? Because, according to FDA, "POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice and POMx products are offered for conditions that are not amenable to self-diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners; therefore, adequate directions for use cannot be written so that a layperson can use these drugs safely for their intended purposes. Thus, your products are misbranded...in that the labeling for these drugs fails to bear adequate directions for use."

In other words, a person with prostate cancer cannot possibly 'treat' his own cancer because he is not a medical practitioner. Pomegranate juice is intended for use by the general public. Therefore no adequate label could be written for it, since de facto no layperson could possibly understand or interpret such instructions.

Truly, this whole situation with FDA has gotten out of hand. It would require the writings of a great satirist, such as a Jonathan Swift or a Kurt Vonnegut, to capture the absurdity of the situation. A harmless juice, which has already demonstrated some huge health benefits, is arbitrarily reclassified as a drug, and then declared "misbranded" because no patient (other than a medical doctor) is by definition allowed to treat cancer, even his own.

Meanwhile, FDA avoids a few larger problems that in a saner world might capture its attention. I could mention a couple of dozen of them, but will simply point out that E. coli bacteria are running rampant through the entire food supply. In November there was a recall of 546,000 pounds of contaminated ground beef in Connecticut, Maine and Massachusetts. This was only the tip of a huge iceberg of truly dangerous food products. But people who are trying to improve the health of the public are maligned and hampered by governmental agents.

Be Aware ....Not Unaware....CANCER CELLS FEED ON

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY',
BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO
TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .

 http://theinnozablog.blogspot.sg/2012/11/i-like-to-blog-it-blog-it.html

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.

3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and
prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors..

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including
supplements will strengthen the immune system.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys
rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune
system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.

b. Cow Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better
alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water.. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.

14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, antioxidants,vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.. Recently,Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat,and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life. With love.

Rerun this post for the benefit of my facebook friends

I hope my friends Tubagus, Vivi, Chrislim and KevinAng are doing healthy business...keep in touch ...remember your friends who remember to remind you about water cure.... To simplify complications is the FIRST essential of success. (Click here) 

How Dehydration caused Dis-eases
Persistent unintentional dehydration leaves its damaging impact in the fourth dimension of time. Caught in time, these Dis-eases conditions can be reversible , as you read and follow the simple rehydration daily.

Our human body manifests its water shortage by four(4) categories of conditions :
1. perceptive feelings;
2. drought-management programs;
3. crisis calls; and
4. complication of persistent dehydration.

1. Perceptive feelings of water shortage include : tiredness that is not the result of strenuous effort, such as feeling first thing in the morning that you do not wish to get out of the bed.
Anxiety, agitation, shortness of temper, depression, sleep disorder, craving for sodas, alcohol, and even hard drugs and agoraphobia are some of the ways our human brain reflects its water-conservation and water-regulation problems.

2. The drought-management and resource-management programs are : constipation, allergies, asthma, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and the autoimmune diseases.

3. Crisis calls : The newly understood regional thirst signals are : heartburn, rheumatoid joint pain, back pain, migraine headache, colitis pain, fibromyalgic pains , and anginal pain.

4. Complications of dehydration are very extensive and include : obesity, hemorrhoids, cholesterol plagues and arterial diseases, and type 1 diabetes, as well as serious neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, neuritis, phlebitis, lymphomas, cancers, and many more.

Medicine has traditionally divided the human body study-logy into so many specialties and subspecialities based on the different body organs ' way of revealing their water shortages. Each of these groups has its own rituals for investigating within its "fiefdom." The pharmaceutical industry has accommodated physicians and has designed medications that are used in that particular "domain" of medicine. This is why, when dehydration manifest itself in more than one organ or domain of the human body, the patient is forced to see many different specialists to address his or her organ-specific symptoms. Hence the use of so many different pills and treatment procedures, in the same person, for the same underlying cause - dehydration.Here is demonstrate how water alone naturally reverses multiple health concerns.

It is never too late or too early to revise and be wise again for the rest of our journey.......

Use Water-cure. Rather be thankful for the timely warning, and do something about it.

Drink at least 10% of your own daily water-quota (31.42 ml multiply by your present body weight(kg), every 90 minutes. Use 1/4 teaspoon of sea-salt in your daily diet, for every 1250 ml water drank.

Pain is a sign/signal produced by dehydration in the human body. Pain may be common but it is not normal.

E-Health in Singapore healthcare

Do the citizens know ,Next phase of electronic health record to be implemented by April 2011.
SINGAPORE: Patients can expect cost savings from reduced duplicate or unnecessary tests, lower medication errors and adverse drug events from the next phase of the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR).

Costing $176 million and to be implemented by April 2011, the system will be expanded to include a number of primary and step—down care providers, including GPs, polyclinics and a community hospital.

The Health Ministry said the next phase was moving towards creating a health record that is truly personalised and available everywhere.

Key information such as a patient’s demographics, allergies, clinical diagnoses, medication history, X—rays, laboratory investigations and discharge summaries will be fully exchangeable between various healthcare providers.

Previously, the clusters — SingHealth and NHG — operate their clusters electronic medical records independently.

As an interim solution, an Electronic Medical Records Exchange (EMRX) was developed to allow secure cross—cluster exchange of patient information.

This is to ensure that a patient’s record can be pulled out regardless where he or she seeks treatment.

EMRX was subsequently extended to healthcare partners, providing a pivotal capability for easy movement or records across the public healthcare clusters, community hospitals and MINDEF, facilitating care delivery.

But further exploitation of the data has been limited by a major drawback of the EMRX.

A document—level exchange, with no standardised or structured data, the EMRX makes seamless sharing of data beyond documents difficult.

For example, diagnostic images, including X—rays cannot be exchanged over EMRX as various institutions use different vendors and their current viewers use different versions of image protocols.

The ministry says the new system would be implemented in phases and take many years to be fully implemented.

This is because the National Health Records System has to cover the entire healthcare ecosystem and not just the public sector.

It says each subsequent phase must also factor in the experience of the earlier phase and exploit emerging technologies.

Low Crime is not "No Crime"

Singapore ups security measures after terror warning

Singapore ups security measures after terror warning
SINGAPORE – Singapore has raised security alert levels following threats of possible terrorist attacks on ships in the busy Malacca Strait waterway, the country's interior minister said Friday.

Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng told parliament that security measures throughout the city-state have been beefed up after authorities received a tip-off that a militant group was planning to attack oil tankers.

"Basically, all alert levels have been raised, not just for ships, but also for the security measures that we have undertaken for Singapore," Wong said in response to a question in parliament about the security threats.

The Singapore Shipping Association issued an advisory to members on Thursday that an unidentified terrorist group plans to attack ships in a shipping lane through which almost a third of world trade passes.

"We received intelligence from our liaison partners about this possible plot to attack vessels coming through Singapore waters through the Strait of Malacca," Wong told parliament.

"As a result, the various security agencies have been working very closely with one another, including the RSN (Republic of Singapore Navy) and also our foreign liaison partners.

"We have also worked very closely with the shipping community."

Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, which share the waterway, said they would step up patrols in the Malacca Strait after the warning.

Isa Munir, a top Malaysian marine police officer, has confirmed that authorities received information indicating that Islamic militants were plotting to wreak "havoc" in the Malacca Strait.

He said Friday that 11 Malaysian patrol ships have been put to sea to secure the waterway and that his country was working with its neighbours.

"We are coordinating patrols. We are communicating with Indonesia and Singapore," he said, adding that the "situation is under control."

Analysts have said that the Malacca Strait is a prime target because more than 30 percent of global trade and half the world's oil shipments pass through the narrow waterway.

Blowing up oil tankers could choke the strategic passageway and cripple global trade.

Wong said that despite improvements in security systems, extremists have also evolved. Singapore is continually reviewing security measures at its checkpoints, international airport and at sea, he said.

Checks at Changi Airport were stepped up in the aftermath of the attempted bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight in Detroit on Christmas day last year, he said.

"The threat of terrorism remains real in our region. And so it remains real for Singapore too. We are an open society and cannot insulate ourselves from the security situation in our region or other parts of the world," Wong said.

Dr Steven Pratt researched avocados

Painless cholesterol cure works in just 7 days -- and drives the "food police" crazy!

Want to lower your cholesterol so fast it'll make your head spin? It's a breeze, just eat guacamole -- or any dish containing avocados!


Most health experts and nutritionists will tell you this rich, delicious Mexican dish is BANNED from any cholesterol- watcher's menu.
But not Dr. Steven Pratt.
That's because new research shows eating avocados can lower your cholesterol even faster than drugs.... without the side effects!


One study found after just 7 days on a diet including avocados, LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglyceride levels dropped by 22 percent.
Meanwhile, HDL ("good") cholesterol shot up 11 percent -- something most cholesterol- lowering drugs won't do!
