Needles with HIV blood in public

2018-07-20T03:38:00.001-07:00

Received this HIV needles in public video from a community group chat.

My arguments are:

Is this true? I do not read any HIV needles from the local newspaper and Facebook.
Once the blood is out of human body, the oxygen will be depleted, how long the HIV virus can live in such condition.
The tip of the needles contain minimal volume of blood. It will need to penetrate thru your garment before it can hit your skin. The small amount of blood will be wiped off by the garment and leave almost no blood left in the tip.

However, the very important message from the video are:

Be cautious when you are in public. Anything can happen.
The HIV cure drugs in known as PEP or Post-Exposure Prophylaxis. PEP must be started within 72 hours after a recent possible exposure to HIV, but the sooner you start PEP, the better. Every hour counts. If you’re prescribed PEP, you’ll need to take it once or twice daily for 28 days. PEP is effective in preventing HIV when administered correctly, but not 100%.

Natural healing for Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease

2018-06-03T18:50:00.003-07:00

In the United States, an estimated 5.4 million people have been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. This figure is growing rapidly with the ageing population.

One of them was Steve Newport. His wife, Dr. Mary Newport, was a newborn doctor and Dr. Mary found out that her husband had severe Alzheimer's disease.

When the doctor inspected her husband at the hospital, the doctor asked Steve to paint a clock. Instead, he drew a few circles and then drew a few figures without any logic. It was not like a clock at all.

The doctor pulled her aside and said: "Your husband is already on the verge of severe Alzheimer's disease!"

It turned out that it was a test of whether a person had Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Mary was very hit at the time, but as a doctor, she would not just give up. She began to study the disease.

Her research says: "The dementia of the elderly is like having diabetes in my head. Before one has the symptoms of diabetes or Alzheimer's disease, the body has had problems for 10 to 20 years."

According to Dr. Mary's study, Alzheimer's disease is very similar to Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes. The cause is insulin imbalance.

Because insulin has a problem, it prevents the brain cells from absorbing glucose. Glucose is the nutrition of brain cells. Without glucose, brain cells die.

As it turns out, high-quality proteins are the cells that feed our body.

But nutrition is our brain cell is glucose, as long as we have mastered the source of these two kinds of food, we are the masters of their own health!

The next question is, where to find glucose? It must not be the ready-made glucose that we buy from the store. It is not a grape. We are looking for alternatives.

The alternative nutrients for brain cells are ketones. Ketones are popular in brain cells. Ketones cannot be found in vitamins. Coconut oil contains triglicerides.

After the triglyceride in coconut oil is eaten into the body, it is metabolized into ketones in the liver. This is an alternative nutrient for brain cells!

After this scientific verification, Dr. Mary added coconut oil to his husband's food. It only took two weeks. When he went to the hospital again to do painting and clock tests, the progress was amazing.

Dr. Mary said: "At the time, I thought, it might just be a dog. Will God hear my prayers? Wouldn't it be coconut oil? But there is no other way. It's better to continue taking coconut oil."

Dr. Mary is part of the traditional medical practice base. She clearly knows the capabilities of traditional medicine. After all, traditional medicine can do very little.

Three weeks later, the third time she went to do a smart clock test, the performance was better than the last time. This progress was not only intellectual but also emotional and physical.

Dr. Mary said: "He could not have been running and he can now run. He could not read for a year and a half, but he can read it again after taking coconut oil for two or three months."

Her husband's actions had already begun to be inflexible and she did not speak in the morning. Now she has made a lot of changes: "After he got up, he was spirited, talking and laughing. He would drink water and take utensils."

On the surface, these are very simple daily tasks, but only those who have come and only have demented relatives in their homes can experience the joy: It is not easy to have such progress!

After frying the green onion oil cake with coconut, 2 to 3 months later, after taking 3 to 4 tablespoons of coconut oil per meal, the eye can focus and prove that coconut oil can really improve the problem of dementia in the elderly.

Apply coconut oil to the bread. When the cream is used, the taste is unexpectedly good.

Young people can also use it for maintenance and prevention, and can improve if they have symptoms of dementia.

Dementia is because nutrients cannot be transmitted to brain cells, and nutrients must be passed from the body to insulin to reach the brain.

Especially diabetic patients are not easy to get insulin secretion. “Nutrition cannot get to the brain. When brain cells are starved to death, they are deprived of intelligence.”

Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglyceride, which can supply nutrients to the brain without using insulin. It can improve Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

走路吧！

2017-07-16T06:55:00.001-07:00

孫正春走到腫瘤也怕他！

孫正春身體力行100天，2個腫瘤消失了16種宿疾改善了！想健康，走路最簡單，不花錢，絕無副作用！

「我覺得爸爸會抗癌成功，關鍵在於『堅持到底』。

他的確在開始長途走路的一百天內腫瘤消失了，心跳正常了，很多人看到成效出現就停止，但他非但沒有鬆懈，反而更堅持走下去，直到現在，持續二十幾年。」

孫羽佑

孫正春之子，神經科學博士

他原本天天吃焢肉、能坐就不願站，直到癌症的陰影迫近，才驚覺必須改變！

從完全不走路到一天走上六小時，他慢慢走，打赤腳走，拿著啞鈴負重走；他吃樹葉、喝葉子水，打造了一個「山上的家」三餐吃優格，徹底地改變了體質。兩個腫瘤一百天消失不是奇蹟，而是「動、綠、奶」的有力實踐。

他到宜蘭工作，就把走路的觀念傳給同事；搬回埔里，帶動了遠近馳名的社區「夜走」熱。

他還鼓勵原已無法進食、無法行動的癌末朋友，從吃一小滴優格、爬行一小步開始，重獲健康。

這一份對走路的執著和熱愛，鼓舞了無數人迎向希望。

他曾花六天翻越中央山脈，從南投走到宜蘭；四十五天健走，以一雙傷痕累累的「真皮鞋」實現赤腳環台夢想；更跨足世界，走向義大利，兩天完攻山海雙線的考驗。

他賦予了「距離」全新的意義，只要走路到得了的地方，就不算遠。人生的路，原來可以靠雙腳走出來，而最重要的是：堅持走下去。

「堅持到底」，讓孫正春贏回健康，更讓他走出了康莊大道！

台灣國家衛生研究院：每日健走15分鐘，延壽3年！英國癌症團體：每日健走20分鐘，癌症死亡率減半！

走路的好處，他們都親身體會到！

◎孫正春之妻陳梅香曾患腎臟病，身體水腫到像懷孕，每天走路讓她重獲健康。

◎紀政的尿失禁毛病因走路不藥而癒，而且6個月瘦了20公斤。

◎希望基金會祕書長黃純湘的癌末父親，靠走路贏回了7年人生。

◎前暨南大學公共行政系教授梁雙蓮，以走路擺脫了更年期及失眠困擾。

◎作家陳芸英長期受便祕所苦，開始走路的第二天，便祕問題竟然解決了。

走路很簡單，就是「走出去」而已。出門多走一站搭車或提早一站下車；在公司少打一通電話，直接走去找同事；不必刻意挑什麼健走路線，有時間就走。

把自己交給雙腳，慢慢走，不要急，才能走得遠、走得久。有人問：「走這麼長、這麼久的路，不累嗎？」孫正春說：「只要心不趕，就不會累。」

◎不管身體有多糟糕，背一定要挺，不能垮下去，只要能動就要動，動一下也好。

可別小看「動一下」這是很單純的求生訊號。

◎既然站得起來，就試著走出去吧！一步就好。第二天再走一步，慢慢來，只要一天進步一點點就可以。

◎「走路」

就像每天都要吃飯、睡覺一樣，是生命的必需品。讓走路融入每日生活，養成隨時走路的習慣。

◎走路是最緩和、最舒服的一種運動，隨時隨地都可以進行，不需要技術、不需要夥伴。

◎其實走路很簡單，就是走出去而已，把自己交給雙腳，慢慢走，不要想太多，重點是持之以恆。

◎剛走路的人都希望走快點，趕快走完，好回家休息，但當你走到一個程度，就會曉得什麼樣的方式對你的身體和生理有幫助。

走路運動....不是趕路運動。

輕鬆走，慢慢走；

天熱/帶條毛巾；

天涼/帶件薄外套。

生病不是意外，是自己平常不注意自己的身體健康。病痛來襲，只有默默承受。

走路可以運動到環跳穴，改善上熱下寒的情形，也可以活潑足三陽的氣機，使陽下行而陰上滋，是活命之源！

遇到孕婦還是把煙給滅了吧!

2015-01-31T21:27:00.001-08:00

這個問題很嚴肅：26歲小胡在寧波市婦兒醫院孕檢時發現，懷孕3個月的胎兒比正常的偏小近一個月。醫生仔細問下來，原因出在老爸身上！

類似病例，一些婦兒醫院已接診多例。產科主任范琦慧說，讓孕婦吸二手菸，甚至「三手煙」（停留在衣服上的煙味、房間牆壁、衣櫃內吸附的煙霧等），常會引起胎兒偏小，甚至早期流產，對於懷孕中後期的孕婦，還可能導致胎盤早剝形成大出血，就算躲過一切風險，生下孩子，這個孩子也可能是畸形的。

胎兒偏小全怪老爸

小胡自從知道自己懷孕後，就沒去上班了，天天呆在家裡安心養胎。

「我妊娠反應很嚴重，前幾個月一直沒胃口，孕吐也很厲害，吃什麼吐什麼，老爸心疼我，就每天到我家，煮好吃的給我吃。」小胡說，老公要上班，老爸擔心她一人在家照顧不好自己。

從小就生活在老爸煙霧裡的小胡，從來沒有想到，老爸天天不離手的香菸竟然成了導致寶寶長不大的「凶手」。

小胡懷孕3個月的時候，去醫院做檢查，醫生發現寶寶偏小近一個月，問她怎麼回事，她也很驚訝。她說，爸爸每天都會熬些營養粥、煲湯給她喝，醫生要求吃的復合維生素也在吃，自己作息規律，又沒有經常對著電腦，實在想不明白問題出在哪裡。

「後來醫生問我，家裡有沒有人吸菸，我才突然記起，老爸在吸菸，他已經吸了30年的煙了。」小胡說。

老胡聽了醫生的建議，不再在女兒面前吸菸，熬不住的時候，就跑去樓下吸兩口再上樓。一個月後，小胡再去醫院複查，胎兒發育明顯改善。

醫生：

我還遇到過一個中學老師，也是檢查發現胎兒比正常孕周偏小三週，經過藥物治療一直沒有改善。後來瞭解到，她和三四個男老師在同一間辦公室，而他們都愛吸菸，除了上課，她上班時間幾乎都泡在二手菸裡。我建議她去和同事溝通一下，儘量在她懷孕期間能忍一忍。

胎兒在母親體內是靠血液供應提供養料的，而香菸煙霧則可以導致血管收縮，如果母親吸入二手菸，血管收縮後，會間接地影響到寶寶的「伙食」，長期斷供或讓胎兒處於半「飢餓」狀態，就會影響到胎兒的發育。

三次莫名流產，原因是…

如果說導致發育遲緩還可以挽救，但是流產就真的讓人心碎了。33歲的袁女士已經莫名其妙流掉三個孩子，都是兩個月左右的時候，不是自動流產，就是死胎。

針對這種情況，醫生一般都會先讓夫妻雙方做下染色體、激素分泌水平、甲狀腺功能等項目的檢查，然而，一連串檢查下來，袁女士夫妻完全沒有問題。

她拿著報告單找到范醫生，范醫生聞到了香菸味，問：「你在吸菸？」

袁女士連連擺手說，是老公在吸菸，菸癮很大，一天有一兩包要抽，從懷孕前到懷孕後從來沒停過。

范醫生給了袁女士一個建議，讓老公戒菸半年，再嘗試懷孕，看看能否成功。

半年後，袁女士高興地找到范醫生說，孩子懷上了，各項指標檢查也很健康。

醫生：

這種情況遇到過很多次，有個女的五六年間懷孕4次，都沒成功，有的畸形，有的死胎，當初她老公還嫌棄她生不出孩子來，結果問下來，是因為老公每天要吸一包煙。

不過，並非每個人吸入二手菸都會流產。

一個成熟的卵子以及有繁殖能力的精子形成，一個週期大約需要3個月，為徹底保證血液中沒有香菸的殘留危害，對打算備孕的男女雙方來說，戒菸半年是比較合理的期限。

花4小時手術保住子宮

吸二手菸的另一個危害是導致胎盤早剝。

所謂胎盤早剝，就是胎兒還沒打算出來之前，胎盤就從子宮上先行脫落了，有時是大面積脫落，有時只是小部分脫落，能否保住胎兒的關鍵，就要看胎盤剝落的面積和部位了。

范醫生曾在手術台上花了4個小時，才好不容易保下了一個胎盤早剝的子宮。她說：「產婦是在KTV工作的，生活作息不規律，工作環境也都是二手菸。她的胎兒已經足月，宮口沒開卻出現陰道出血，我們馬上實行剖宮產，先取出胎兒，是個男孩，然後手術剝離胎盤，由於胎盤早剝會引起大出血，我們足足搶救了4個小時，才保下子宮，如果出血還是無法止住，就只能切除子宮了。」

醫生：

煙霧會促使血管收縮，導致血管痙攣缺血，從而誘發胎盤早剝。吸入的煙霧越多，發生胎盤早剝的危險就越大。

胎盤早剝很可能導致產婦和胎兒死亡，如果胎盤剝離部位正好是胎兒臍帶連接母體的部位，相當於徹底給寶寶斷供。同時，手術取出剩下沒有剝離胎盤的過程中會導致大出血，對產婦造成生命威脅。

另外，有英國學者研究發現，煙霧可損害胎兒的DNA，除造成畸形外，還可能增加患癌症血液疾病的發生率。

人與人之間的個體差異非常大，很多人吸了二手菸也能生下健康寶寶，但誰也不知道自己會不會是對香菸敏感的人，所以為了安全起見，遇到孕婦，還是儘早把煙給滅了吧。

排除濕氣的秘方

2015-01-06T05:29:00.001-08:00

排除濕氣的秘方：

濕邪是現代人健康的剋星，是絕大多數疑難雜症和慢性病的源頭或幫凶。只要濕邪少了，一切所謂的現代病都會遠離我們，一切噁心、慢性的疾病也會失去存在的倚仗。如何對付濕邪，祛除濕邪呢？

喝薏米紅豆粥：

薏米，它可以治濕痺，利腸胃，消水腫，健脾益胃，久服輕身益氣。

紅豆，有明顯的利水、消腫、健脾胃之功效。現代人精神壓力大，心氣虛；飲食不節，運動量少，脾虛濕盛。

既要去濕，又要補心，還要健脾胃，非薏米和紅豆莫屬。將其熬成粥，意在使其有效成分充分為人體吸收，同時不給脾胃造成多大負擔。夏天正好是暑氣連天的時候，內濕外也濕，用這兩味藥正好能起到一個養血、祛濕的作用。

「千萬不能加白米進去！」為什麼？因為白米長在水裡，含有濕氣，濕性粘稠，所以，白米一熬就稠了。紅豆和薏米都是去濕的，本身不含濕，所以它們怎麼熬都不稠，湯很清。中醫恰恰是利用了它這種清的性質，來把人體的濕給除掉。一旦加進去白米，就等於加進去了濕氣，所以整個粥都稠了。味道雖然更好了，但對於養生來說並非好事，就因為那一把白米，所有的紅豆、薏米就都白費了，功效全無。

薏米紅豆搭配各種食材還能這樣用：

濕熱天不要貪涼

很多朋友的脾胃出了問題，我一瞭解，都是貪涼導致的，吃了很多涼的東西，喝了很多的涼的飲料，這樣直接導致了脾胃寒濕嚴重，往往是舌苔白厚膩，上吐下瀉的，脾胃難受，此時因為是大熱的天，很多人敘述病情講得不清楚，就給醫生造成了錯覺，以為是吃了什麼腐敗的食物，導致的細菌感染，於是用了很多解熱毒的藥物，其實，不是熱毒，是寒濕，是患者本人採用了違反自然的飲食習慣導致的。夏天可能喝點常溫的飲料比冷飲更好，過度喝冷飲會傷到身體。

飲食清淡適量
腸胃系統攸關營養及水分代謝，最好的方式就是適量、均衡飲食。
酒、牛奶、肥甘厚味等油膩食物不易消化，容易造成腸胃悶脹、發炎。甜食油炸品會讓身體產生過氧化物，加重發炎反應。

中醫認為生冷食物、冰品或涼性蔬果，會讓腸胃消化吸收功能停滯，不易無限量食用。如生菜沙拉、西瓜、大白菜、苦瓜等，最好在烹調時加入蔥、薑，降低蔬菜寒涼性質

避環境的濕

日常生活最好減少暴露在潮濕環境中。尤其對濕氣敏感的人，更應留心下列事項：

不要直接睡地板。空氣中水分會下降且地板濕氣重，容易入侵體內造成四肢痠痛。最好睡在與地板有一定距離的床上。潮濕下雨天減少外出。

不要穿潮濕未乾的衣服，水分攝取要適量。

怎麼判斷自己身體是否有濕？

1、頭髮愛出油

2、面部油亮

3、睡覺流口水（濕氣飽和自行流出）

4、排便粘稠（不易沖掉）且多便。

5、小腹大

6.耳內濕（耳禪濕 )

7、陰部潮濕

8、小腿腫脹。

從今天起就開始努力除濕吧！！

告別睡也睡不飽的情況！！

癌症具有遺傳性?

2015-01-04T05:41:00.001-08:00

流行病學認為父母得了癌症，子女也易得癌症，所以癌症具有遺傳性，這其實是個錯誤的結論。

來源：養生堂

★真正的原因是，父母與子女在飲食結構上具有高度相似性。

　　嚴重缺乏維生素B2是致癌的根本原因

　　一位中學同學用微信傳來這篇好文，因為她在衛生部門工作，對保養身體健康特別注意。她不斷提醒大家，日常生活都應該注意些什麼?

　　現在拿出來與大家分享，希望對大家有益

　　★ 引起癌症及多種疾病的原因：

　　1、身體長期、嚴重缺乏維生素B2是導致癌症、腫瘤的根本原因。

　　2、各種消化道潰瘍、出血、腫塊、息肉、肌瘤、肝硬化也都是因為缺乏維生素B2所引起的。

　　3、痔瘡也是因為缺乏維生素B2引起的。

　　4、女性的宮頸糜爛也是因為缺乏維生素B2引起的。

　　5、通常所說的“上火”就是維生素B2短期、急劇缺乏症。

　　★ 由此可見，及時、足量補充維生素B2，以上這些症狀都會、嚴重缺乏維生素B2是導致癌症、腫瘤的根本原因。

　　2、各種消化道潰瘍、出血、腫塊、息肉、肌減輕，也有可能會痊癒。

　　★ 維生素B2是人體必需的一種營養物質，它是形成人體組織、器官表面必需的一種物質。

　　★ 維生素B2在人體內無法儲存，但人體每天又需要它，所以必須想辦法每天從食物中進行補充。

　　★ 食物中，比如：動物的肝、腎、心等維生素B2 含量較高(這也說明了B2的重要性)，其次是奶製品，禽蛋類、豆類及其製品、穀類，一般蔬菜也含有少量的維生素B2 。

　　★ 植物當中，維生素B2 主要存在於穀物的皮、殼當中，在糧食加工過程中大部分都流失了。因此現代人的飲食結構導致了人體無法從食物中獲取足夠的維生素B2 ，所以大多數人都處於缺乏維生素B2 的狀態。

　　★ 輕微缺乏維生素B2，人體不會有任何感覺，但到一定程度時就會出現明顯的症狀。

　　首先，在人體最薄弱的地方，通常是消化道的首尾兩端，即口腔或肛門的局部，出現充血、腫脹，隨後皮膚或粘膜出現潰瘍，然後開始出血，即是口腔潰瘍和痔瘡。

　　如果長期缺乏維生素B2，那麼人體其它部位也會出現同樣的症狀。

　　★ 為什麼缺乏維生素B2 會出現充血、腫脹呢?主要原因在於血管。

　　構成血管壁的細胞離不開維生素B2 ，當缺乏維生素B2 時，血管壁( 主要是毛細血管, 管壁本身就很薄) 開始變薄，在血壓的作用下，血管開始向外凸起，當局部的血管都開始鼓起時，就形成了腫塊，最後血管開始裂開出血，如果發生在腦部，你猜到了嗎?對，這就是腦溢血。

　　★ 為什麼缺乏維生素B2 會出現潰瘍呢?同樣的道理，構成人體皮膚和粘膜的細胞也需要維生素B2 。

　　★ 當B2 缺乏時，人體無法產生出足夠的皮膚和粘膜細胞，去頂替已經代謝掉的細胞，缺口就產生了，患處的皮膚或粘膜就像雪被融化了一樣，由一個小點發展成一個創面，這就是潰瘍。

　　★ 它發生在食道，就是食道潰瘍;發生在胃裡，就是胃潰瘍;發生在腸道，就是腸道潰瘍;發生在女性的子宮頸，就是宮頸糜爛。

　　★ 潰瘍面如果長時間不能癒合，就會被細菌感染，產生炎症，單純使用消炎藥，只能暫時控制細菌的繁殖，並不能使潰瘍面癒合，炎症也會反復發作。

　　★ 充血、腫脹要是長期、持續發展下去，就會凸出組織、器官的表面，形成腫瘤，腫瘤發展到最後階段，表面糜爛，反复感染、化膿，內部細胞瘋狂增生，這就是―― 癌症。

　　▲ 所以說，癌症是人體長期、嚴重缺乏維生素B2 ，各種組織、器官功能即將衰竭，總崩潰即將發生的徵兆。

　　這也就合理解釋了為什麼把癌變部位完全切除了，仍然避免不了癌症的擴散和復發，不是癌細胞擴散了，而是組織和器官相繼陷入崩潰了。

　　★ 知道了病因，治療就簡單多了，及時、足量補充維生素B2 ，紅腫就會消退，潰瘍面就會癒合，腫瘤會縮小甚至消失，癌症會停止惡化，逐漸好轉。

　　★ 用於預防和治療維生素B2缺乏症，如口角炎、唇乾裂、舌炎、陰囊炎、結膜炎、脂溢性皮炎等。

　　很顯然，這些只是缺乏維生素B2 的初期症狀，現代醫學沒有對這個問題深入研究下去。

　　★ 既然缺乏維生素B2能導致口唇、牙齦、舌的潰瘍，那麼消化道內其它地方的潰瘍就與B2 沒有關係嗎?

　　▲ 正是在這個問題上的淺嚐輒止，導致了現在癌症的氾濫。

　　▲ 實踐證明，當人體沒有明顯的症狀、用來預防時，這個用量也許是可以的，但是，如果身體已經有了明顯的症狀，比如潰瘍、痔瘡、息肉、腫瘤，那麼這個用量是明顯不夠的，必須要一次4 - 6 片，一日3 - 4 次，才能看到明顯的效果。

　　有些人就是因為用量不夠，覺得服用維生素B2 沒有用，從而耽誤了病情。已經住院的病人，可以要求醫生在輸液中加入複合維生素B(裡面含有維生素B2 )，效果會更好。

　　★ 維生素B2 對人體沒有任何副作用，過量的維生素B2會從尿液中直接排出體外，所以，不用擔心服用過量的問題。

　　★ 還有個問題也必須引起重視，維生素B2 見光極易分解，從而導致失效，一瓶維生素B2 ，如果開蓋後一個月還沒吃完，那麼剩下的藥片估計就都失效了，再服用時就會覺得沒用了，這時就需要重新購買，最好生產日期在半年以內的。

　　★ 通常所說的“上火”與維生素B2 有什麼關係呢?

　　★ 辣椒、羊肉、白酒等熱性食物進入人體後，會擴張毛細血管，加速血液的流動，而這會加速維生素B2的消耗，就像人跑步時肯定要比走路消耗更多的氧氣一樣。

　　★ 維生素B2被快速消耗而又得不到補充，於是就會產生牙齦腫痛、肛門肌肉充血腫脹等上火症狀。只要馬上服用足量的維生素B2，這樣症狀會很快消失。

　　★ 當然，吃一些涼性的食物如西瓜等，能中和身體中的熱性，也有一定的效果，但最根本的因素還是維生素B2 。

　　★ “ 十人九痔” 是一個民間俗語，是指痔瘡患者的發病率很高，其實也證明了缺乏維生素B2 在人群中的普遍性。

　　▲ 流行病學認為父母得了癌症，子女也易得癌症，所以癌症具有遺傳性，這其實是個錯誤的結論。

　　★ 真正的原因是，父母與子女在飲食結構上具有高度相似性，父母愛吃辣的，經常上火，處於缺乏維生素B2的狀態，那麼子女也必定愛吃辣的，也會缺乏維生B2 。即使子女以後與父母分開了，他(她)的飲食習慣也會保留下來，所以，與父母得相同的病就不足為奇了。

　　★ 為什麼常吃五穀雜糧的人不易得癌症呢?現在你應該明白了吧，其實是五穀雜糧中(主要在皮、殼上)所含的維生素B2起了作用，如果把皮和殼都去除了，效果就會大打折扣。

　　★ 有些人常吃複合維生素，認為自己不會缺乏維生素B2, 實際上，複合維生素中所含的B2遠遠不能滿足人的日常需求，必須單獨補充維生素B2 。

8種癌細胞剋星

2015-01-04T04:08:00.001-08:00

圖片來源：網路

1.茄子：「霜打茄子」是好藥

中藥許多方劑及民間驗方中，時常使用「秋後老茄子」、「霜打茄子」。越來越多證據表明，茄子具有抗癌功能。曾有試驗從茄子中提取的一種無毒物質，用於治療胃癌、子宮頸癌等收到良效。另外，茄子中含有龍葵鹼、葫蘆素、水蘇鹼、膽鹼、紫蘇甙、茄色甙等多種生物鹼物質，其中龍葵鹼、葫蘆素被證實具有抗癌能力，茄花、茄蒂、茄根、茄汁皆為良藥，古代就有秋茄根治療腫瘤的記載。茄子還含有豐富的營養成分，除維生素A、C偏低外，其他維生素和礦物質幾乎跟西紅柿差不多，而蛋白質和鈣甚至比西紅柿高3倍。

2.苦瓜：李時珍稱其為「一等瓜」

苦瓜在民間受到的待遇兩極分化嚴重，不少人很「好」這一口，也有人對其敬而遠之。但真正給它「好身份」的卻是明代大醫學家李時珍，他稱其為「一等瓜」，是不可多得的抗癌瓜。西醫更證明，苦瓜的抗癌功效來自一種類奎寧蛋白，它是一種能激活免疫細胞的活性蛋白，通過免疫細胞做「二傳手」，將癌細胞或其他不正常的細胞殺掉。苦瓜種子中含有一種蛋白酶抑制劑，能抑制腫瘤細胞分泌蛋白酶，從而抑制癌細胞的侵襲和轉移。

3.海帶：可預防乳腺癌和甲狀腺腫瘤

海帶中藥名為「昆布」，可預防乳腺癌和甲狀腺腫瘤。海帶富含碘，能防「大脖子」病在中國已經婦孺皆知，實際上，海帶還有其他諸多「本領」，它含的海藻酸鈉與具致癌作用的鍶、鎘有很強的結合能力，並將它們排出體外;海帶可選擇性殺滅或抑制腸道內能夠產生致癌物的細菌，所含的纖維還能促進膽汁酸和膽固醇的排出;海帶提取物對各種癌細胞有直接抑制作用。

4.蘿蔔：根莖類蔬菜中的「健康保護神」

蘿蔔別名萊菔，品種多，皆為抗癌能手，所以有農諺：「冬吃蘿蔔夏吃姜，一生不用跑藥堂」以及「十月蘿蔔水人參」之說。荷蘭人定胡蘿蔔為「國菜」，日本、美國認為它是根莖類蔬菜中的「健康保護神」。蘿蔔具抗癌、寬胸、化痰、利尿之功能。蘿蔔中含有多種酶，能消除亞硝胺的致癌作用，其中的本質素能刺激肌體免疫力，提高巨噬細胞的活性，增強其吞噬殺滅癌細胞的能力。蘿蔔的辣味來自芥子油，它可刺激腸蠕動，促進致癌物的排除，蘿蔔中還含有許多抑制致突變活性的不明成分。蘿蔔中維生素C含量比蘋果、梨高出8--10倍。而胡蘿蔔因含豐富的胡蘿蔔素，也具有極好的防癌作用。

5.奇異果：維生素C含量居水果之冠

棕色，形似馬鈴薯，其內碧綠如翡翠，甘酸可口，本是南方山區野果，現在已移栽到全國各地。其果實富含糖、蛋白質、類脂、維生素、有機酸及多種礦物質。維生素C含量居水果之冠，每100克果子含200毫克，幾乎是柑橘的100倍，西紅柿的30倍，是名副其實的「天然維生素C片」，另外還含有豐富的具有保護血管功能的維生素P，其營養價值甚高。

6.地瓜：逐漸被淡忘的抗癌佳品

小時候冬天捧著香噴噴的烤紅薯邊暖手邊解饞的日子已經淡出不少年輕人的記憶，過去走街串巷的賣烤紅薯攤現在幾乎無跡可尋，隨著經濟條件的好轉，有調查表明，我國城鎮居民不少人已不再食用地瓜。地瓜：別名甘藷、紅薯、白薯，被認為是祛病延年、減肥保健的絕佳食品。其實地瓜也有強大的防癌功能。最近科技人員在地瓜中發現了一種去氫表雄酮的物質，它能預防腸癌和乳腺癌的發生。食物、營養、活動與癌症發生的有關係，專家認為膳食結構不合理、身體活動越來越少是導致癌症發病的主要原因。癌症的發生是一個複雜的過程，但是癌症是可以預防的，日常生活的食物就有殺死癌細胞的功效，下面來看看生活中哪些食物可以殺死癌細胞吧。

7.南瓜：被譽為「神瓜」

在某些國家它被譽為「神瓜」，因為它既可為糧，又可為菜。美國人在感恩節都要吃南瓜，以表示對南瓜的謝意。但是，在我國，現已很少種植。南瓜可預防肥胖、糖尿並高血脂和高膽固醇血症，對癌症預防有很好的效果，南瓜維生素A的含量之高，是常人無法想像的。另外含有豐富的維生素C、鈣質和纖維素，還含有抑制致癌物色氨酸-P的不明成分。

8.麥麩：最好的防癌食物纖維

別名麩子，小麥磨粉時脫下的種皮，用作飼料，不食用。用麥麩喂牲口，皮膚紅潤，毛髮油亮，極顯健康狀，現麥麩日益受到人們的重視，為了健康，西方不少機構號召人們吃全谷食物、全麥食物。全麥食物即把小麥全粒磨成麵粉丁再分出麥麩，用這種粉製成的食品。麥麩是小麥主要營養成分的「倉庫」，B族維生素、硒、鎂等礦物質及纖維素幾乎都集中在它身上。它能預防並治療結直腸癌、糖尿並高膽固醇血症、高脂血症、便秘、痔瘡等。因此，不少專家認為，麥麩是最好的防癌食物纖維。

活不过90岁那就是你的错!

2014-07-17T07:26:00.001-07:00

一、死亡，是食物造成的！

被誉为营养学爱因斯坦的世界营养学权威柯林·坎贝尔博士发自良心的建言：“死亡，是食物造成的！”愈营养，愈危险？史上最完整，历时40余年，震撼全球66亿人的健康大发现！

以下是你所不知道的真相：

1、罹患肝癌的孩子，大都来自吃得最好的家庭。

2、只要改变饮食习惯，不吃动物性蛋白质，肾结石复发的病患就能不药而愈。

3、以肉食为主的美国男性，死于心脏病的比例是以植物为主食的中国男性的17倍！

4、摄取最多牛乳和乳制品的国家，骨折率最高，骨骼也最差。

5、造成第一型糖尿病的最大祸首，可能就是牛奶蛋白质。

6、研究统计，饮食中饱和脂肪含量较高的初期多发性硬化症病患，有80%会死亡。

7、医师决定如何进行治疗的考虑要点，通常是基于金钱，而不是健康。

8、有的医生让病人吃了许多苦，花了很多冤枉钱，甚至快要死掉，但其实只要吃燕麦片就可以好了！

9、医师会动手术和开药，却不懂营养，因为他们根本没受过营养学的训练。

10、没有任何手术或药丸可以有效预防或治疗任何慢性疾病。

11、“死亡，是食物造成的！”柯林。坎贝尔博士如是说。

如果你想活得健康，请务立刻身体力行，改变你的饮食吧！

二、活不过九十岁的人那是你的错

全国首席心血管病专家、北大人民医院心研所所长胡大一教授认为：长寿秘诀为：多喝白开水，饮食八分饱，日行一万步。“只要你遵守四句老话——戒烟限酒，合理膳食，有氧运动，心态平衡，就可轻轻松松活到九十岁。活不过90岁那就是你的错！”没有健康很难享受小康，对健康一定要上心、用心和关心。

10个心梗，9个可以被预测。胡大一教授讲了这样一件事：30几年前，他接待了一个来访的美国医学代表团，住在当时非常高档的燕京饭店。代表团的一位负责人早上拉开窗帘，看到长安街上的自行车流非常壮观，感慨地说：“中国人很健康！”三十年后，还是这位负责人，又一次来到北京，住在更加豪华的饭店。他早上推开窗户，只见长安街上高楼林立，富丽堂皇，车流滚滚，但这个“车”已由自行车变成了小汽车，他长叹一声：“中国人得病了！”

出门就打的，进门坐电梯；烟酒不离身，洋快餐不离口……不健康的生活方式是国人心血管疾病发病的主因。据统计，中国每年有300万人死于心血管疾病，平均每12~13秒就有一人被心血管疾病夺去生命。三四十岁的人心肌梗塞不罕见，已占了心梗住院病人的五分之一。

大家都知道有病去看，但真正的预防却没人重视。“疾病发展几十年，致残致死一瞬间”，胡教授指出，10个心梗，9个可被预测；6个心梗，5个可以被预防。人类告别癌症，可多活3年，人类告别心血管病，可多活10年。

1、坚持日行万步路

运动的好处人人皆知，关键是很多人既没有落实，也不能坚持。“我不是很闲的人。”胡大一教授说，开会时间，如果离会议楼不远，他一定会走着去；会间茶歇他会起来走动；在候机厅候机时他会不停地走；出行他尽可能乘地铁、坐公交；上楼的时候，别人乘电梯，他会走楼梯……“我带计步器锻炼11年了，每天走1万步。”胡大一认为走路是运动的最好方式，简单经济、安全有效，对老年人关节、肌肉、韧带损害很小，对心脏负担相对较小。除此之外，平时可练练小哑铃、橡皮带等。锻炼身体的灵活性可选择太极拳及瑜伽。另外，慢跑、扭秧歌、打乒乓球等都适合老年人。胡大一让大家记住有氧运动中的“1357”：每天运动1次，持续不少于30分钟，每周确保运动5天，运动时适宜心率=170-年龄。

2、饭吃八分饱，要有适度饥饿感

胡大一建议大家记住这样一个原则：总量控制八分饱，合理搭配不过分。食盐量每天不超过5克，特别是东北地区饮食偏咸，更要减盐；少吃或不吃超市里卖的熟食，吃方便面调料包只用三分之一就足够了，以免热量、盐等摄入超量；减少膳食脂肪，多吃蔬菜水果、五谷杂粮；适度吃瘦肉，或鸡鸭及鱼肉；海鲜适度；鸡蛋每天1个，如果胆固醇高或有冠心病，就每星期吃4~5个。如果到了中午或下午四五点钟，你感觉到有点饿，说明这一天的食量是合适的。

3、喝酒有度，白酒每天别超1两

胡大一提醒，吸烟不光是嗜好，更是一种疾病。烟草中的尼古丁是毒品，其成瘾性与******相似。戒烟是降低心血管病风险最经济的方式，可降低36%的死亡率。酒倒是可以喝一点。有些报道说，适当喝酒可以保护心脏，其实这没有确切的科学依据，有人说喝酒可以升高体内的好胆固醇，其实走30分钟的路或做点运动就可实现。如果你不喜欢喝酒就不要主动去喝；更别相信“买酒保健康”的商业广告。对喜欢喝酒的人来说，男性每天1两（50克）白酒，2两葡萄酒，300毫升啤酒，三选一是可以的。女性减半，孕妇不能喝酒。

4、记住“爱心数字”：140 6 543 0 268。

“140”是血压达标值。要保护心脏，必须把收缩压降到140毫米汞柱以下。

“6”是血糖达标值。建议空腹血糖降到6毫摩尔/升以下。

“543”是血脂达标值。低危人群总胆固醇须低于5毫摩尔/升；患糖尿病或吸烟者，总胆固醇须在4毫摩尔/升以下；高危人群，即有多项危险因素，如既有糖尿病又吸烟的人，总胆固醇必须控制在3毫摩尔/升以下。

“0”指的是零吸烟。

“268”指的是腰围。中国男性要把腰围控制在2.8尺以下，女性在2.6尺以下。

5、定期输液，不如多喝白开水

换季时，很多老人常常去定期输液，以此达到稀释血液的目的，这样做是非常荒谬的。身体本身是个无菌环境，输液则是有创的，这种输液无效也不安全，对身体没好处。如果真的觉得自己的血液太黏稠了，完全可以多喝点白开水，根本没有必要输液。单纯为了降低血液黏稠度而吃药输液，那是花钱买风险。

6、送给老年朋友几个字——淡泊名利，广交朋友，多做实事，善待自己。

人生不如意十之八九，要常想“一二”而不思“八九”。人活七十古来稀，但现在活到90岁应该是常态，我们应该有这样一个人生目标：不过99，轻易不能走，让我们向着100岁迈进！

人活百岁不痴呆的11个秘诀

2014-06-17T06:07:00.001-07:00

日本顺天堂大学教授、著名抗老化研究专家白泽卓二在其著作《活到百岁不痴呆的101个方法》里，将保持大脑年轻态的原因都归为健康的生活习惯。我们来看看，哪些习惯能让老人保持年轻呢？

1.早起习惯：

起床后马上喝杯温开水。人体在一夜睡眠中会丢失500毫升水分，起床后需要立刻补充。而且温开水有助提升体温，体温每上升1℃，人体基础代谢也会随之提高10%。

2.一周至少喝3次蔬果汁。一周至少喝3次蔬菜或水果汁，能把得认知障碍症（老年痴呆症）的风险降低75%。

3.每天晒15分钟太阳：适量多晒太阳能帮助人体制造维生素D，而研究表明维生素D有抗癌作用。

4.上班习惯：公务包里带上几块黑巧克力。吃上几块黑巧克力能为你补充能量，有助提高工作效率；而且黑巧克力富含多酚，有助抗老化。同时它的升糖指数低，有助控血糖。

5.家务习惯：爱做饭。有研究表明，喜欢做饭的人不易得认知障碍症，操心一天三餐对大脑就是种良性刺激。

6.日常生活习惯：尽量避开碳酸饮料、加工食品。可乐等碳酸饮料及快餐等加工食品含有大量的磷，会妨碍人体吸收钙，不利骨骼健康。

7.运动习惯：1.适当出汗。运动量要以出汗为宜，帮助排出体内蓄积的毒素。

8.设法减重5%。健康活到百岁者的一大共同特征就是不胖，体重只要降低5%，得糖尿病和高血压的风险就会下降。

9.每天步行30分钟。有研究表明，死亡率最高的人是那些平时几乎不走路的人，每天步行30分钟，能促进血液循环，有助健康长寿。

10.晚饭习惯：1.生吃洋葱。洋葱所含的硫化物能预防动脉硬化和高血压，生吃效果更好，建议切成薄片，做成蔬菜色拉吃。

11.八九点后不吃东西。脂肪在半夜2点最易蓄积，如果此时处于空腹状态，脂肪就不易蓄积，按照一般消化时间推算，就要在晚八九点后不吃东西。

一位年轻医生自述

2014-04-04T07:28:00.001-07:00

一位年轻医生自述：有多少癌症病人成了唐僧肉,出于求生的本能，每一个癌症患者都不甘心坐以待毙。殊不知，他们的求生欲望与求治要求，竟让自己成为某些不良医院各科室之间抢夺的“唐僧肉”.....

一位年轻医生的自述，让我们看到了其中的秘密。

2009年，我从天津医科大学肿瘤专业研究生毕业后，幸运地成为山东省某三甲医院肿瘤科的医生。

工作第一天，我穿上白大褂，和主任一起查房。查房一上午，共有40多个癌症病人，他们病情各不大相同，相同的是，对我们的话都言听计从。

第二天上午，我接诊了一个肝癌晚期的老人。看他的影像片子，癌细胞已经全身转移，没有治疗价值了。再说，从老人的穿着来看，家境并不太好，更没有必要白花钱了。出于好心，我把老人的女儿叫到办公室，建议她放弃治疗。老人的女儿放声大哭，伤心地把老人带走了。不料，一个星期之后，我意外地发现老人竟然被收住院了！护士长告诉我老人回家后不甘心“等死”，把自己的房子卖了30万，又挂了肿瘤科的一个专家号求治，当即就被专家收住院了。护士长还悄悄告诉我：老人还在病房里说你医德不行，自己没本事治他的病，就让他回家等死！

2009年11月底，我们肿瘤科发奖金时，平均一个人才2000多元！主任关上门给我们开了个秘密会议：“咱们医院实行的是绩效考核，收入减去成本再乘以提成的百分比，才是科室的奖金。”他故意顿了顿，说：“不需要我多解释了吧？你们用几元钱的便宜药，那是你们的自由，不过，你不能把自己当成菩萨下凡，让大家陪你喝西北风”主任的话音一落，大家的目光就齐刷刷地投向我，我脸上立即火辣辣的......”

这件事没过几天，病房就住进一个患前列腺癌的离休干部，癌细胞也已经转移腹腔了。有了前面的教训，我试探性地找他的妻子谈话：“我建议用相对好一点的药物，因为这样可以提高病人的生存质量......”我的话音未落，他的妻子就鸡啄米似点头：“什么药好就用什么药，我舍得给我们家老张花钱！”有了这句话，我放开了手脚，什么药贵上什么药。最后，老人在病房里住了两个月，共花费了40万元，最终还是死了。

我心里有鬼，自觉愧对老人。可令我哭笑不得的是，家属办完后事，竟专门给我送来一面锦旗，说我把病人当亲人，努力提高了癌症晚期病人的生活质量。

2010年7月，我接诊了一个早期肺癌病人，觉得有手术指征，就介绍给了胸外科一个医生。没想到，病人手术之后，胸外科医生专门请我吃了顿饭，并给了我一个500元的红包。我不要，他却说：“这是你应该得的。以后我那边有要做化疗的病人，也”介绍“给你。我们俩长期合作！”然后，他还以过来人的身份“教育”我：“你是刚毕业不久的学生，现在摸清楚肿瘤科的工作流程没有？简单来说就是这样：来个癌症病人，先介绍到外科给他们做手术，让外科把手术的钱赚到了，再把病人转到化疗科化疗，然后再转到放疗科放疗，等这些科室的钱都赚到了，再把病人扔到中医科喝中药。”

接下来的一件事，让我终于验证了这位外科医生的话。有一个胃癌晚期病人，癌细胞已经腹膜转移。可还是被转到普外科做了手术，术后又转到肿瘤科化疗，放疗科放疗，中药科喝中药，如此折腾3个月，病人就死了。我曾偷偷调出病人的影像资料，一看就发现没有手术指征。

更加可笑的是，有一回，有过一次合作经历的那位胸外科医生给我转来一个肺癌术后病人。病人70多岁，早期肺癌，即使不做化疗也可以长期生存。不料，我好心告诉他可以保守治疗的时候，他却质问我：“癌症手术后化疗放疗是常规治疗，如果听你的保守治疗，我的癌症复发了你负责？”其实，化疗有很大的副作用，尤其是对这种年老体弱的癌症病人来说，副作用更是致命的。勉强挺过4个月疗程的化疗，老人的免疫力就急剧下降，肺癌也随之复发，并出现了脑转移。在家属的强烈要求下，我们又给老人做了伽马刀手术，结果导致了更大范围的肿瘤转移.......如此折腾了一年多，老人终于在痛苦中死去了！

医院不扶伤，医生改经商。患者求活命，钱财被套光。

医师，本是人类最崇高的职业，现在中国却......，根子在哪里？到底我们是发扬把爱和人性的光辉传递下去，或者无视这些现象在这世界存在，而采取冷漠呢？

有一个智者说过；要评价一个社会就要看这个社会如何去对待他们之中最不幸的人。

Removing Gallstones Naturally

2014-02-19T06:07:00.000-08:00

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY
by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan

It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass on the good news. Chiu Nan is not charging for it, so we should make it free for everyone. Your reward is when someone, through your word of mouth, benefits from the regime. Gallstones may not be everyone's concern. But they should be because we all have them. Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. 'Cancer is never the first illness,' Chiu Nan points out. 'Usually, there are a lot of other problems leading to cancer.

In my research in China , I came across some materials which say that people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It's a matter of big or small, many or few.

One of the symptoms of gallstones is a feeling of bloatedness after a heavy meal. You feel like you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious, you feel pain in the liver area.' So if you think you have gallstones, Chiu Nan offers the following method to remove them naturally.

The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.

1. Stop eating and drinking after 2pm. Buy one bottle (1lt) of distilled water. Add 4 spoon of Epsom salt to distilled water. Keep the bottle in the fridge to chill it.
2. At 6 PM, drink a glass of the Epsom salt water (250ml)
3. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.
4. At 9.30PM, squeeze half a glass of lemon juice. Mix it with half cup of olive oil . Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage.
5. Go to sleep after that. Sleep on your right side with you knee near to your tummy for at least 10 minutes.

The next morning, drink another glass of the Epsom salt water at 6.30am. You will find green stones in your stools. Usually they float. You might want to count them. There are people who passes 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Drink the last glass of Epsom salt water at 8.00am.

Start to drink fruit juice around 10.00am and eat a light lunch around 12.00pm. You will feel better after that..

'Even if you don't have any symptoms of gallstones, you still might have some. It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now and then.

PASS THIS AND YOU MAY HELP OTHERS!

1. Liver

2. Common Bile Duct

3. Gallstones

4. Gall Bladder

从感冒到癌症

2014-01-26T05:19:00.000-08:00

很多人都有发烧的经历—哎呀，感冒了！然后身体发烧。怎样正确地认识发烧呢？可以从几个方面来说：

1.发烧是人体免疫系统正在清除有害物质的信号，是人体正在自我改善的表现。

2.发烧是人体免疫系统对入侵体内的病毒、细菌或者滞留在体内的毒素发起战争的信号。

因为只有在一种高温的环境之下，入侵的病毒和细菌无法正常复制，丧失大量繁殖的能力，所以我们才不会生大病。发烧，在某一个层面来说是好事。发烧的时候是人体消灭这些入侵的病毒和细菌的最好时机。

3.发烧可以清除滞留在骨骼中的毒素，可以促使人体加快新陈代谢的速度，把那些毒排出去。
但是很可惜，大部分人没有读懂身体的信号，尤其是做父母的，一看到儿女发烧，就紧张得不得了，马上送到医院去打针、吃药、输液来退烧。父母亲以为儿女的烧一退下来，问题就解决了，其实并没有解决问题，反而是人为地中断了我们的身体自动排毒的过程。当然，危及生命时，要采取急救措施。

我们的身体正在排毒，你不让她排毒了，那么残留在体内的病毒和细菌就会随时伺机作乱，所以就让小孩子反复发烧。

而父母亲又会一再、再而三地把儿女送到医院去打针、吃药，来退烧。这样子翻来覆去地折腾，结果儿女的体质就在这样的反复折腾之中越来越差，让小孩子从小就变成一个药罐子，变成一个输液吊瓶大王；让小孩子越来越反应迟钝，越来越不活泼。

你懂得药师法门就知道，发烧并不是坏事，这说明我们的免疫系统正在工作。但是我们不知道，认为发烧就肯定是不好，马上要把烧一退掉就好了。

其实你搞错了，打个比方，好像一堵墙，这个墙里面是坏的，正在流水，你不去修补这个墙，你在墙的外面用一层纸把它包起来，看起来好像暂时这个墙好了，其实里面还是坏的，这个方法是自欺欺人的方法。就算你退烧了，问题也并没有解决，你体内的那些病毒、细菌仍然还在。所以学习药师法门首先就是要改变我们的观念。

那么，发烧的时候，我们要怎样来正确处理呢？药师法门里面说有四个方法：

1.要正确地认识，要知道我们身体的免疫系统从来不做没有意义的事，发烧是清除体内有害物质的信号。并且发烧需要消耗人体很多的养分、很多的能量才能够完成，所以只有在足够的养分和能量的支持之下，人体才能完成发烧排毒的过程。就好像要生火来取暖一样，我们要有足够的木柴才能够生火取暖，如果缺乏足够的木柴，无法产生足够的热量来供我们取暖。

所以我们就知道，老年人不容易发烧并不是代表他体质有多好，而是因为老年人肠胃功能退化了，身体里面没有足够的能量来支持他，所以，老人家不发烧，很少发烧，不代表他体质好，只是表示他缺乏能量，没有能力发烧，没有能力排毒。所以你不要小孩子一发烧，马上就去打针退烧，这个其实就害了他。

2.发烧的时候要及时补充水。好像机器在运转的时候要用水来散热，防止机器被烧坏一样。同样的，我们也要补充水来支持身体通过发烧排出毒素，所以适当地喝点水是有必要的。小孩子发烧的时候，如果是一点点烧，你不要忙于帮他退烧，只要没有生命危险，你给他多喝点水，多休息一下，这个比你去让他吃西药，去打退烧针要好多了。

当然还可以具体做法，可以榨一些果汁，拿一些胡萝卜、西芹、黄瓜，混合在一起来榨汁，或者单独用一种来榨汁。最少1000毫升，或者到2000毫升都可以，让小孩子喝下去。这样子地补充，就可以帮助、支持免疫系统更快速地完成排毒，然后他自动就会退烧，这个才是正确的方法。

如果你要是喜欢，也可以拿一些天然的维生素C补充一下，补充1000毫克的维生素C，应该也能够帮助到人体自动地排完毒，然后自动地退烧。

3.除非发烧39度C以上，或可能有生命危险，不要贸然地去打退烧针。

4.多休息，不要透支体力。
因为发烧的时候，是需要消耗很多能量来排毒，我们明白这个发烧的机理以后才明白：原来对于大多数的患有各种慢性疾病的患者来说，比方说，糖尿病、高血压、心脏病，种种，如果你能够学习到药师法门以后，在身体逐步地走向康复的过程之中，可能身体会不断地发烧。要知道发烧就是我们能否康复的关键，要采取有效的措施来支持身体完成发烧排毒的过程，然后自动退烧，而不是强行地通过打针吃药来退烧。

你强行地退烧，体内的那些病毒细菌就排不出去，所以身体就会越来越差。看起来你的烧是退了，但是你的抵抗力越来越差了，身体也越来越差，所以要支持她，而不是中断她，要支持身体完成发烧排毒，然后把残留在体内的那些有害物质和病毒清除出去，这个才是最重要的。

本来感冒和癌症差了十万八千里。现在呢？带您来看看九步使感冒就变成癌症的事实。有点小病就乱吃药的孩子，来看看您是怎样成为疾病的帮凶的！

第一步:打喷嚏
当病原体、灰尘、花粉等进入鼻腔后，身体的防御系统启动，通过打喷嚏的形式把它们打出来。

第二步:咳嗽
如果病原体等没有被打出去就会进入上呼吸道、支气管。身体启动第二道防线咳嗽将病原体等咳出。
帮凶做法:我们以为咳嗽是病，马上吃止咳化痰的药大量的抗生素（消炎药），将本来要排出体外的病原体又压回身体里面，于是身体的防御系统进入第三步。

第三步:乏力没有食欲
身体告诉我们要好好休息，集中体力对抗进入身体里的病原体。往往在这个时候，我们会强迫自己吃饭，吃饭需要消耗能量。来消化食物，身体不想吃我们就不吃，增加饮水同时多喝蔬果汁。如果这一步没有做好，身体将进入第四步。

第四步:发烧
一方面表明病原体等进入血液，身体启动免疫力表现为发烧，将病原体等消灭。当温度升高到38.5度时，免疫力会增加一倍，温度升到40度大部分的病毒都将被杀死，此时我们只要和足量的水。
帮凶做法‍:我们打退烧针，吃退烧药却帮了病毒等的忙，于是身体进入第五步。

第五步:过敏
防御系统要将血液中的毒素排出体外，因此皮肤会过敏。
帮凶做法:我们现在大多数人用过抗过敏药，涂药膏。将本来就要通过皮肤排出来的毒素，再压回体内。

第六步:发炎
身体为了保护大局，将血液里面的病毒和细菌集中在一个地方，因此会出现红肿热痛的反应。
帮凶做法:我们消炎吃大量的抗生素，有帮了病毒等的忙，身体没有办法只有进入第七阶段。

第七步:溃疡
人体是非常精密的，为了保护身体在发炎的地方烂掉也不会让病毒等到处跑。这时如果细胞原材料不足的话，身体将溃疡。溃疡多了，就进入第八阶段。

第八步:纤维化、硬化、疤痕化
身体为了保护自己将溃疡处包裹起来，疤痕硬化后病原体等也不能活动了，身体功能也不好了。
帮凶做法:人们为了舒服又是大量的抗生素，50%的死亡和硬化有关，如肝硬化，血管硬化等。进入第九阶段。

第九步:癌变、肿瘤化
细胞为了适应新的环境只有突变，癌细胞就是在严重缺水、缺氧缺营养等的情况下形成，从一个癌细胞发展到绿豆大小需要10-15年，而从一个绿豆大小发展到鸡蛋大小只需要一年，癌症的潜伏期最少有10-15年。

疾病发生的每一步我们只需要听听身体的声音，多喝水，注意休息，给足够细胞所需要的原材料，身体就会去修复，而你是不是一次次都成为疾病的帮凶！

目前中国85%的人都死于慢性病，而每一慢性病病人都是有13年被慢性病折磨。是不是很可怕？更为严重的是挂水，挂水应该是在你神志不清了，要吃不进去了，打针也解决不了问题出现时，你生命危险了，紧急抢救才会使用。

人们为什么不宜输液呢？小朋友吹气球，你把一个吹起来，你输液输多长时间你那个气球就吹多久。一般我们输液最少要两个小时吧，你就把吹两个小时后再放开，看看这两个气球还一样不一样。吹起来的气球松弛了，弹性少了，皮皱了。

我们的血管也是一样，老是被吹起来，当我们松开后，血管也会松弛了，弹性少了。有一些人一感冒就是输液，输几天。每一天把血管吹起来一次。如同我们穿的内衣、内裤等，如果洗的勤了，很容易坏的。

那感冒该怎么办呢？我们小时候感冒，下一碗面，打两个鸡蛋。吃鸡蛋面，接着红糖姜汤水，盖被子睡一觉，出一身汗就好了。感冒其实是不治之症，因为感冒全世界有3、4000种病毒。药是帮助我们杀死病毒等，每种药针对的病毒等不一样。而经常使用药物，容易产生耐药病毒。

我们以前感冒吃鸡蛋，就是含丰富的蛋白质，姜味辛，可以帮助我们疏通经络、祛寒。所以我们要想感冒快一点好，吃优质的、大量的蛋白质，就可以治愈感冒。Vc可以增加巨噬细胞的吞噬能力，提升免疫力。

我们的免疫力对外来的一且病毒、病菌病原体都有抑制作用。所以不存在产生耐药性的说法。而且不会有副作用。感冒药多含有有PPA，这些PPA可以导致脑萎缩。以后可能我们还会发现有APA或者PAA等对身体有害成分。

使用食疗才是我们的最佳方法。当然不是所有病都只使用食疗，而是感冒之类的小病，或者一些慢性病症，都可以适当的使用食疗来帮助康愈。生病不可怕，可怕的是我们没有正确的知识和观念。当然最好还是提前预防。这样我们才能防患于未然。免疫力提升了，90%的疾病都可以预防了。这样才是我们养生的根本。

Mammograms, Dental X-rays & Thyroid Cancers

2012-06-11T01:36:00.001-07:00

Dr. Oz had a show on the fastest growing cancer in women, thyroid cancer. He said that the increase could be related to the use of dental x-rays and mammograms. He demonstrated that the apron the dentist puts on you for your dental x-rays has a little flap that can be lifted up and wrapped around your neck. Many dentists don't bother to use it. Also, there is something called a "thyroid guard" for use during mammograms. By coincidence, I had my yearly mammogram yesterday. I asked about the guard and sure enough, the technician had one in a drawer. I asked why it wasn't routinely used. Answer: "I don't know. You have to ask for it." Well, if I hadn't seen the show, how would I have known to ask?

Take note to request for the neck flap that is known as the "thyroid guard" when you need to do x-rays of your chest and mouth.

The open secrets of longevity

2012-01-29T00:47:00.000-08:00

Okinawa island has more people living there who are over 100 years old per 100,000 persons than anywhere else in the world, and suffer the lowest death rates from cancer, heart disease and stroke. Their longevity is attributed to their "harahachi bu" philosphy (eat until you are 80% full) and their active lifestyle. Much of this elderly community still tend to farms, fields and gardens manually.

Italian researchers at the Catholic University of Sacred Heart in Rome are closer to understanding how a strict diet can contribute to longevity. The found that when calories are cut, the body produces a molecule called Creb 1 (known to regulate memory learning), which in turn activates another set of molecules linked to longevity called the Sirtuins.

沐浴乳含可致癌防腐剂

2011-10-04T21:53:00.000-07:00

每天洗澡都会用到的沐浴乳，每天和皮肤亲密接触，当心洗出病来！

沐浴乳里面有种叫做防腐剂的成分，是用来防止沐浴乳变质的防腐剂。

不过医师在乳癌的切片中，也发现苯甲酸酯的成分！

市面上三成的沐浴乳，含有这种可能致癌的物质，如果长期使用，可能就会有危险！

轻轻按一下，瓶子马上吐出浓浓沐浴乳，三两下马上清洁溜溜。但看似平常的沐浴乳，竟然和乳癌有了关连！

医界在在乳癌切片中，发现一种叫做PARABEN防腐剂的成分就是藏在沐浴乳中，用来抑制沐浴乳变质的防腐剂。

由于这PARABEN防腐剂不会造成皮肤病变，所以一般人使用都不会有症状，一旦超过十年，就可能造成诱发乳癌，小孩子皮肤解毒力很弱，也千万不要碰触！

医师建议，如果真要用，选购时要仔细看清楚是不是含有防腐剂成分，如果可以最好使用甘油为基底的肥皂，因为成分简单不易变质。

别为了一时方便的迷思，选错了沐浴乳，否则年代后的代价真的很大！

建议使用香皂肥皂沐浴

你喜欢使用沐浴乳洗澡吗，现在，恐怕你要开始改变了！

很多人使用沐浴乳洗澡，多半都只是因为沐浴乳方便使用，但是，方便使用却未必是健康的，因为方便之中，利润是最终考量，创造方便可以刺激产量，进而带入利润，对生产者而言，营收的重要性大返回消费者的健康重要性，因此，沐浴乳的发明，虽然带来了消费者的方便性与生产者的利润，表面上是双赢的局面，实际上，使用的消费者永远是输出家！

首先，我们来探讨沐浴乳的制造过程，一般的香皂，无非是使用成本低廉的动物性油脂，如牛或羊或者成本高昂的植物性油脂，如椰子油与甘油，在过程中，加入化学凝固剂，或者自然凝固，然后成为一块块的香皂。

但是沐浴乳就不同了，由于水与油天生不相溶，试想不能相溶的水与油，如果要合而为一，唯一的方法，当然就是加入化学工程学系制造的的苏打与稳定剂，苏打与稳定剂，却是医学界工程学系公认的致癌物质之一。

也就是说，如果你使用一般的化学香皂，里面所含的化学成分已经足以让你的皮肤产生过敏或者病变，而沐浴乳，则又加了更多更高的化学成分，大大缩短了你的皮肤病变的时间。

这一切，当我们当前年轻尚有足够的免疫力时，我们不会有太大的感觉，因此我们总是选择了方便性，但是如果有朝一日，免疫力下降，这些长期累积在我们肌肤皮下层，甚至渗透进入我们当前体内各脏器的物质，将会大举反扑，致使我们当前永远失去健康，万劫不复！

年轻不是挥霍的时代，而是储存的黄金期，现代人追求健康与养生的同时更应该减少化学物质对我们的腐蚀，否则，为了省钱或者方便，却在笺干年后将所省下的钱转化为医药费用，恐怕只会制造更多的不便。

Karuveppilai (Curry Leaf) - Medicinal Properties

2011-09-26T07:20:00.000-07:00

The value of “Karuveppilai" or the curry leaf is appreciated by a very few people . Apart from its general use, Karapincha protects the liver and the liver cells and is even used as a medicinal cure of certain liver diseases, the control of high blood pressure, heart disease , diabetes and high cholesterol especially. It is an excellent culinary herb for fat reduction.

"Karuveppilai" or curry leaves definitely reduces overweight” says Dr Vajira P.S. Seneviratne, Medical Officer, Government District Ayurveda Hospital, Beliatte ,Sri Lanka.“ The leaves contain nearly 18 amino acids and volatile oils which contributes a very specific fragrance .

Its medicinal properties and actions help improve people’s digestive power and helps avoid constipation and softens stools. Karuveppilai also relieves flatulent and heals gastritis”.

Try "Karuveppilai porridge" and "Karuveppilai sambol" twice or thrice weekly.

Take 22 leaves, bruise slightly, and leave to soak, overnight, in a cup of boiled and cooled water.
Strain, and drink first thing in the morning .

You can drink your tea or coffee 1/2 hour later.

手机列为2B级致癌物！

2011-09-26T05:43:00.000-07:00

几年前，每次我讲“细胞奇航之旅” 时，都会提到手机的致癌机制(严重干扰钠、钾离子进出细胞膜)，强迫细胞排出错误的生产线，导致身体系统混乱，容易引发癌症(不只是脑癌)。很多人问我或质疑我，如果我的讲法正确，为何没有国际性的研究机构提出相同的警告? 我当时的答覆是，庞大的商业利益常会覆盖真理。

现在联合国世卫组织，终于良心发现，不再被商业绑架，提出警告，而且是2B级的严厉警告!

希望大家少用手机，长话短说，才能守住健康。

国际癌症研究所已将手机列为2B级致癌物！

经过多年争议，最近有个惊人进展。来自14个国家、31名科学家组成研究小组，经过8天的会议后，世界卫生组织旗下的国际癌症研究所（IARC）突然将手机列为2B级致癌物，和DDT、铅同级，国人最近惊恐的塑化剂DEHP也同属2B级，「电磁波像看不见的塑化剂，」长年关注电磁波危害的台湾电磁辐射公害防治协会理事长陈椒华认为。

这是世界卫生组织首次承认，手机会带来神经胶质瘤（脑瘤的一种）和听觉神经瘤等不利影响。但其他癌症至今尚无定论。今年初，发表在美国医学会期刊（JAMA）的研究就证实，手机持续的、低量的电磁波影响人体大脑运作。

全台湾已发出2700万个门号，手机数多过人口数。从现在开始保护自己，是明智且必要的措施，没有人希望难以承受的伤害在未来某一天发生。

8招助你远离手机电磁波威胁

1.智慧型手机离身体至少1.5公分：苹果iPhone使用手册里提醒消费者，无论是讲电话、传讯息或上网，iPhone都要离身体至少1.5公分，逻辑很清楚，手机离身体愈远，暴露愈少。

2.用耳机：最有效防止电磁波的方法，就是远离你的脑袋。讲电话时戴耳机，可以防止辐射不断「煮」你的脑袋。

3.多传简讯：传简讯同样可以将手机远离脑袋，降低电磁波风险。成大公共卫生研究所教授李中一指出，像加拿大部份电信业者对青少年只有简讯吃到饱的行销方案，没有免费讲到饱，以减少青少年往后的致癌风险。

4.不要用手机当闹钟：如果使用手机的闹钟服务，总是要把手机靠近身边，例如靠近床铺的床头桌。这表示大脑附近要暴露在电磁波好几小时。

5.收讯不良时，能不打就不打：因为讯号愈弱，手机需要愈高的功率来保持通讯，辐射愈强。

6.拨出去的第二响才放耳边：拨打手机会比接手机发出去更多的辐射，而且在接通时辐射最高。因此拨手机第2响才放耳边。

7.手机不要放口袋、挂腰间或胸前：手机如果不用，就放在桌上，外出时放在包包里或外套里。

8.不要买山寨机：环保署空保处副处长简慧贞说，她最担心年轻人买山寨机，因为山寨机电磁波标准难以保证。

Watercress: The Miracle Food (西洋菜)

2011-09-06T21:09:00.000-07:00

UK Scientists say watercress is the new super food, able to prevent certain types of cancer. According to a study published this week in The British Journal of Nutrition, the consumption of a three ounce portion of watercress reduced the presence of a key tumor growth factor six and eight hours after eating the watercress in healthy patients who had previously been treated for breast cancer. The study was conducted by the Cancer Research Center at the School of Medicine , Southampton General Hospital in the United Kingdom . The study concluded watercress is as therapeutic as traditional drug treatments with tamoxifen and herceptin, commonly used chemotherapy drugs.

The study also said that through regular consumption, watercress "has the potential to confer valuable protection against cancer in general." "Watercress has the ability to turn off HIF1, a signal sent out by cells calling for blood supply," said noted aging scientist Dr. Nicholas Perricone. When HIF1 becomes incorrectly regulated, otherwise harmless precancerous clusters of cells have the opportunity to grow to form invasive tumors. "Scientists have been looking for anti-angiogenesis agents for years because if we can turn off the blood supply, we can kill the cancer," said Perricone. "And it looks like watercress can do that." Another study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in February of 2007 showed that, in addition to reducing DNA damage, a daily dose of watercress increased the ability of cells to further resist DNA damage that may be caused by free radicals. In the study, 60 men and women, half of whom were smokers, consumed their usual diet plus 85 grams of raw watercress daily for eight weeks. Blood samples were analyzed for plasma antioxidant status and DNA damage in lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell. Watercress consumption significantly reduced lymphocyte DNA damage. In the time of the Romans, Greeks and Persians watercress was used as a natural medicine, prescribed for migraines, anemia, eczema, kidney and liver disorder and tuberculosis.

心脏病发作怎么办？

2011-09-04T06:08:00.000-07:00

50岁的陈妈妈是家庭主妇，身材很标准、看起来很年轻，除了有高血压外，并没有其他疾病。而且她非常注重饮食养生，不烟、不酒，每天都有运动的习惯。

但是，最近陈妈妈却发现，早上慢跑时牙龈会痛，假日和先生去爬山，没有多久，牙龈也会痛，只好提早回家休息。先生劝她去看牙科，可是陈妈妈从小就怕牙医，所以，当她去看她的家庭医师时，顺道告诉医师最近发生的这些情形。没想到医师很谨慎告诉她：「赶快去看心脏专科医师，请医师帮您做详细的检查。」

陈妈妈回家后告诉先生，陈先生半信半疑说：「牙痛怎么会看心脏科呢？」

陈妈妈说：「但是医师是很严肃地建议我赶快去看耶！不是开玩笑喔！」

隔天夫妻俩一起到心脏科门诊求诊。

医师听完陈妈妈的叙述后，告诉她：「陈太太，我建议您住院安排做心导管检查，您的牙龈痛应该是『心绞痛引起的反射性疼痛』。」

经过心导管检查果然发现，陈妈妈的心脏有3条血管阻塞，而且还有多处阻塞的情形，因此医师建议陈妈妈接受心脏冠状动脉血管绕道手术；她在手术后，恢复良好。

大多数人对「心绞痛」症状的认识是：胸闷、胸前剧痛、盗冷汗。其实，心绞痛的症状还有手麻、肩胛骨（后肩膀）痛、下巴（或牙龈）痛、麻，而这些症状都称为反射性疼痛。

容易罹患心血管疾病的危险因子除了高血压、高血脂、糖尿病、抽烟、肥胖者外，年龄（40岁以上）、停经后妇女、有家族史者，亦都是罹患心血管疾病的高危险群。

（作者为行政院卫生署台中医院护理师）

关于心脏病发作除左胳膊痛苦以外.心脏病发作会有其他症状:如下巴会剧痛，以及恶心和盗汗，然而这些症状也许并不常常发生。

注意：心脏病发作期间，可能不会有胸口的痛苦。

多数人(大约60%)在他们的睡眠期间心脏病发作，因而没有醒来。

然而，胸口痛也许会让您从您的熟睡中醒来。如果这样，立刻咬碎二颗阿斯匹灵在您的嘴中并且与水吞下他们。

之后，给邻居或居住非常近的家庭成员打电话说; " 心脏病发作! 已吞了2颗阿斯匹灵。"

然后坐在前门附近的椅子或沙发上，并且等待人们的到来。绝不能再躺下来!

心脏科医师声明，如果每个人，在收到这电子邮件以后，送给10个人，大概会有一个人的生命能被保存。

喝水治病 (Water Therapy)

2011-08-26T08:17:00.000-07:00

色斑　
清晨一杯凉白开水

很多人都听说过早晨喝一杯水对身体有好处，有人喝盐水?有人喝蜂蜜水?还有人为了美白喝柠檬水?到底喝什么水最好呢?人体经过了一宿的代谢，体内的垃圾需要一个强有力的外作用帮助排泄，没有任何糖分和营养物质的凉白开是最好的!如果是糖水或放入营养物质的水，这就需要时间在体内转化，不能起到迅速冲刷我们的机体的作用。所以，清晨一杯清澈的白水是排毒妙方。

感冒　
要喝比平时更多的水
每到感冒的时候，就会听到医生唠叨：“多喝水呀!”这句医嘱对于感冒病人是最好的处方。因为当人感冒发烧的时候，人体出于自我保护机能的反应而自身降温，这时就会有出汗、呼吸急促、皮肤蒸发的水分增多等代谢加快的表现，这时就需要补充大量的水分，身体也会有叫渴的表现。多多喝水不仅促使汗出和排尿，而且有利于体温的调节，促使体内细菌病毒迅速排泄掉。

胃疼　
经常喝点粥

有胃病的人，或者感到胃不舒服，可以采取喝粥的“水养护”措施。熬粥的温度要超过60℃，这个温度会产生一种糊化作用，软嫩热腾的稀饭入口即化，下肚后非常容易消化，很适合肠胃不适的人食用。稀饭中含有的大量的水分，还能有效地润滑肠道，荡涤肠胃中的有害物质，并顺利地把它们带出体外。

便秘　
大口大口地喝水
便秘的成因简单地讲有两条：一个是体内宿便没有水分，二是肠道等器官没有了排泄力。前者需要查清病因，日常多饮水。后者的临时处方是：大口大口地喝上几口水，吞咽动作快一些，这样，水能够尽快地到达结肠，刺激肠蠕动，促进排便。记住，不要小口小口地喝，那样水流速度慢，水很容易在胃里被吸收，产生小便。

恶心　
用盐水催吐
出现恶心的情况很复杂。有时候是对于吃了不良食物的一种保护性反应，遇到这样的情况，不要害怕呕吐，因为吐出脏东西可以让体舒服很多。如果感到特别难以吐出，可以利用淡盐水催吐，准备一杯淡盐水放在手边，喝上几大口，促使污物吐出。吐干净以后，可以用盐水漱口，起到简单地消炎的作用。另外，治疗严重呕吐后的脱水的情况，淡盐水也是很好的补充水液，可以缓解患者虚弱的状态。

发热　
间断性、小口补水为宜

我们这里说的发热，是说当你剧烈运动后，身体的温度骤然上升，大量汗液排出。这个时候人会感到疲惫，而适当饮水是对身体最紧急的呵护。水可以调节血液和组织液的正常循环，溶解营养素，使之供给体能，散放热量，调节体温，增加耐力。但要注意的是：运动中很忌讳猛烈补水，比如一口气喝上两瓶饮料，这样会进一步增加心脏的负担，所以运动中以间断性、小口补水为宜。而运动前补水也是很不错的保养方案。

肥胖　

餐后半小时喝一些水
有着这样的谬论，不喝水可以减肥! 现在医学专家可以明确地告诉你：这是一个错误的做法。如果想减轻体重，但又不喝足够的水，这样身体的脂肪不能进行代谢，其结果是体重反而增加。体内的很多化学反应都是以水这个介质进行的。身体的消化功能、内分泌功能都需要水，代谢产物中的毒性物质要依靠水来消除，适当的饮水可避免肠胃功能的紊乱。你可以在用餐半小时后，喝一些水，加强身体的消化功能，助你维持身材。

咳嗽　

多喝热水
遇到咳嗽、有痰这样的症状，很多人都感到憋气、难受，痰液难于咳出。这时候有什么好的办法来缓解呢?就是要多水，而且还要多喝热水。首先，热水可以起到稀释痰液，使痰易于咳出的作用;其次，饮水的增多增加了尿量，可以促进有害物质的迅速排泄;另外呢，还可以抚慰气管与支气管黏膜的充血和水肿，使咳嗽的频率降低。这样的话，人就会感到舒服通畅很多。

失眠　

热水的按摩作用是强效的安神剂
人体逐渐进入梦寐的状态是体温下降的一个过程。而适宜人体睡眠的环境要求中，温暖的环境必不可少。睡前洗个热水澡和用热水泡脚一样，都可以给人温暖的外环境，弥补体温下降带来的不适，催人入眠。而值得一提的是：水对于身体有着独特的按摩功效，轻缓、柔和、滋润的效果是最好的镇静安神剂。

烦躁　
多多喝水
人的精神状态如果和生理机能相联系，有一种物质是联系二者的枢纽，那就是激素。简单地讲，激素也分成两种：一种产生快感、一种产生痛苦。大脑制造出来的内啡肽被称为“快活荷尔蒙”，而肾上腺素通常被称为“痛苦荷尔蒙”。当一个人痛苦烦躁时，肾上腺素就会飙升，但它如同其他毒物一样也可以排出体外，方法之一就是多喝水。

心脏病　

睡前一杯水

如果你是一个心脏不好的人，可以养成睡前一杯水的习惯，这样可以预防容易发生在凌晨的，像心绞痛、心肌梗塞这样的疾病。心肌梗塞等疾病是由于血液的粘稠度高而引起的。当人熟睡时，由于出汗，身体内的水分丢失，造成血液中的水分减少，血液的粘稠度会变得很高。但是，如果在睡前喝上一杯水的话，可以减小血液的粘稠度，减少心脏病突发的危险。如此睡前的一杯水，可是一杯救命水呀。

88自然保健和美容秘诀

2011-08-16T02:56:00.000-07:00

1. 风寒感冒可以用沸水泡艾，泡脚，效果非常好（艾就是端午节时插在门上的那种植物）。

2. 用透明胶把指甲钳头一端包一圈，可以避免剪指甲的时候弹的到处都是。

3. 用凡士林按摩脚，然后穿袜子睡觉，第二天，给你一双粉嫩的脚。

4. 睡觉的时候，鼻子塞住，很难受，在脸上盖一块小手绢（轻薄的就可以），过会儿鼻子就通气了。

5. 感冒的时候，把可乐加热了喝，有点治疗效果。

6. 治疗麦粒肿，乐敦（黄色）眼药水很有疗效。如果发展比较严重，可以用鱼石脂软膏，敷一晚，第二天就好了。药膏是黑色的，注意不要染到衣服被子上。

7. 常吃番茄可以帮助顽固性便秘。

8. 新买的沙锅砧（木制的）用水浸泡一晚可以防裂。

9. 有茶渍的杯子用牙膏擦洗（前面有很多朋友说过强调一下真的很有用）。

10. 对付顽固油污用威猛先生（特别是清洗厨房瓷砖一喷过几秒一擦就搞定）。

11. 玫瑰果油：不贵，涂疤痕效果不错，包括旧疤，曾经小腿上被磕的一个小印记现在基本消除了，不过得经常擦并且按摩。

12. 夏天应该常吃的食品：黄瓜西瓜，番茄炒蛋，绿茶，螺旋藻。

Cancer Prevention & Treatment

2011-07-27T02:36:00.000-07:00

Cancer News Update from Johns Hopkins :

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

What Feeds Cancer Cells?

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 (a New Zealand Honey - can be found at some health food stores or online {Amazon.com}) 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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, 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.

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.

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.

No plastic containers in microwave.

No water bottles in freezer.

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 Castle 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.

Canola Oil

2011-07-26T18:08:00.000-07:00

The Dangers of Using Canola Oil

Recently I bought cooking oil that's new to our Health Food Stores and Supermarkets, Canola Oil. I tried it because the label assured me it was lowest in "bad" fats. However, when I had used half the bottle, I concluded that the label told me surprisingly little else and I started to wonder: Where does canola oil come from?

Coconut oil comes from coconuts, olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers; but what is a canola? There was nothing on the label to enlighten me, which I thought odd. So, I did some investigating on the Internet. There are plenty of official Canola sites lauding this new "wonder" oil with all its low-fat health benefits. It takes a little longer to find sites that tell the less palatable details. Here are just a few facts everyone should know before buying anything containing canola.

Canola is not the name of a natural plant but a made-up word, from the words " Canada " and "oil". Canola is a genetically engineered plant (GMO) developed in Canada from the Rapeseed Plant, which is part of the mustard family of plants.

According to Agri-Alternatives, The Online Innovation, and Technology Magazine for Farmers, "By nature, these rapeseed oils, which have long been used to produce oils for industrial purposes, are... toxic to humans and other animals". (This, by the way, is one of the websites singing the praises of the new canola industry.)

Rapeseed oil is poisonous to living things and is an excellent insect repellent. I have been using it (in very diluted form, as per instructions) to kill the aphids on my roses for the last two years.

It works very well; it suffocates them. Ask for it at your nursery. Rape is an oil that is used as a lubricant, fuel, soap and synthetic rubber base and as a illuminate for color pages in magazines. It is an industrial oil. It is not a food. Rape oil, it seems, causes emphysema, respiratory distress, anemia, constipation, irritability, and blindness in animals and humans. Rape oil was widely used in animal feeds in England and Europe between 1986 and 1991, when it was thrown out.

Remember the "Mad Cow disease" scare, when millions of cattle in the UK were slaughtered in case of infecting humans? Cattle were being fed on a mixture containing material from dead sheep, and sheep suffer from a disease called "scrapie". . It was thought this was how "Mad Cow" began and started to infiltrate the human chain. What is interesting is that when rape oil was removed from animal feed, 'scrapie' disappeared. We also haven't seen any further reports of "Mad Cow" since rape oil was removed from the feed. Perhaps not scientifically proven, but interesting all the same.

US and Canadian farmers grow genetically engineered rapeseedand manufacturers use its oil (canola) in thousands of processed foods. The canola supporting websites say that canola is safe to use. They admit it was developed from the rapeseed, but insist that through genetic engineering

it is no longer rapeseed, but "canola" instead. Except canola means "Canadian oil"; and the plant is still a rape plant, albeit genetically modified.

The new name provides perfect cover for commercial interests wanting to make millions. Look at the ingredients list on labels. Apparently peanut oil is being replaced with rape oil in peanut butter.

You'll find it in an alarming number of processed foods. There's more, but to conclude: rape oil was the source of the chemical warfare agent mustard gas, which was banned after blistering the lungs and skins of hundred of thousands of soldiers and civilians during W.W.I. Recent French reports indicate that it was again in use during the Gulf War. Check products for ingredients. If the label says, "may contain the following" and lists canola oil, you know it contains canola oil because it is the cheapest oil and the Canadian government subsidizes it to industries involved in food processing.

I don't know what you'll be cooking with tonight, but I'll be using olive oil or the very healthy alternative Coconut oil.

Here is more information.......... Canola oil from the rape seed, referred to as the Canadian oil because Canada is mainly responsible for it being marketed in the USA . Studies with lab animals were disastrous. Rats developed fatty degeneration of heart, kidney, adrenals, and thyroid gland. When canola oil was withdrawn from their diets, the deposits dissolved but scar tissue remained on all vital organs. No studies on humans were made before money was spent to promote Canola oil in the USA . Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare fatal degenerative disease caused by a build up long-chain fatty acids (c22 to c28) which destroys the myelin (protective sheath) of the nerves.&n bsp; Canola oil is very long chain fatty acid oil (c22). Those who will defend canola oil say that the Chinese and Indians have used it for centuries with no effect; however it was in an unrefined form. (* taken from FATS THAT HEAL AND FATS THAT KILL by Udo Erasmus.)

My cholesterol level was 150. After a year using Canola oil I tested 260. I switched back to pure coconut oil and it has taken 5 years to get it down to 160. Thus began this project to find answers since most Doctors will say that Canola oil is O.K. My sister spilled Canola oil on a piece of fabric, after 5 pre-treatings and harsh washings, the oil spot still showed. She stopped using Canola oil, wondering what it did to our insides if it could not be removed from cloth easily.

Our father bred birds, always checking labels to insure there was no rapeseed in their food. He said, "The birds will eat it, but they do not live very long."

A friend, who worked for only 9 months as a quality control taster at an apple-chip factory where Canola oil was used exclusively for frying, developed numerous health problems. These included loose teeth & gum disease; numb hands and feet; swollen arms and legs upon rising in the morning; extreme joint pain especially in hands, cloudy vision, constipation with stools like black marbles, hearing loss; skin tears from being bumped; lack of energy; hair loss and heart pains. It has been five years since she has worked there and still has some joint pain, gum disease, and numbness. A fellow worker, about 30 years old, who ate very little product, had a routine check up and found that his blood vessels were like those of an 80 year old man.

Two employees fed the waste product to baby calves and their hair fell out. (Whose hair is this

referring to- the employees or the calves?) After removing the fried apple chips from the diet their hair grew back in. My daughter and her girls were telling jokes. Stephanie hit her mom's arm with the back of a butter knife in a gesture, "Oh mom" not hard enough to hurt. My daughter's arm split open like it was rotten. She called me to ask what could have caused it. I said, "I'll bet anything that you are using Canola oil". Sure enough, there was a big gallon jug in the pantry.

Rape seed oil is a penetrating oil, to be used in light industry, not for human consumption. It contains a toxic substance. (from encyclopedia) Even after the processing to reduce the erucic acid content, it is still a penetrating oil. We have found that it turns rancid very fast. Also, it leaves a residual rancid odor on clothing. Rape seed oil used for stir-frying in China was found to emit cancer causing chemicals. (Rapeseed oil smoke causes lung cancer) Amal Kumar Maj. The Wall Street Journal June 7, 1995 pB6(W) pB6 (E) col 1(11 col in). Compiled by Darleen Bradley.

Canola oil is a health hazard to use as a cooking oil or salad oil. It is not the healthy oil we thought it was. It is not fit for human consumption, do not eat canola oil, it can hurt you. Polyunsaturated or not, this is a bad oil. Be sure to also read this informative report written by leading health expert Tom Valentine, Canola Oil Report.

Don't be fooled......Canola Oil is in everything!!! Always read the ingredients of every product you buy, anywhere!!! Even in the Health Food Stores, Canola Oil is widely used in their products. Coconut oil comes from coconuts, olive oil comes from olives, peanut oil from peanuts, sunflower oil from sunflowers; Canola Oil comes from a poisonous plant that has been Genetically Modified (GMO).

豬肉條蟲

2011-06-20T05:08:00.000-07:00

外食族看到這樣的豬肉,千萬不要吃!

大家買外面食物時～吃到怪怪的食物，請提高警覺性！

這是關於我去買九州拉麵的味增拉麵，卻發現它裡面的肉片有問題的事情。

事情發生在6/6中午，我去買味增拉麵回家吃，買回來後吃沒幾口，之後把肉撈起來準備要吃時，卻看到肉上某些地方突起且爆開，顏色比較淡，組織也不同，跟其他正常的地方不太一樣，那種感覺就好像解剖到不正常鯨豚(因為我有解剖過鯨豚，所以比較敏感)

當下麵就不吃了，拿著肉跑去找店家問個清楚，櫃檯阿伯一直強調那是正常的，另一個小姐還跑進去夾了另一片豬肉給我看，也是有同樣情形，她說什麼那個地方沒有皮所以會這樣，什麼跟什麼.....

最後問清楚那片肉是位在肚子部位，我就打定主意要去請問台大的畜產系老師...嗯，打定主意待會再去，走出店外時，裡面兩個剛吃完晚餐的小姐付了錢跑出來叫住我，他們問說那肉怎麼了？我就大致說明了一下，他們說他們剛吃肉也是有個地方很硬，覺得怪怪的，不過他們還是把周圍的肉吃完，也把麵吃完了...

聽了真是差點要吐(因為他們還咀嚼了那塊有問題的地方)，不過我還是安慰他們一下，肉煮熟了危險性會降低許多...

老闆他們一直問我留著那肉幹嘛，他們說肉會壞掉，留著也沒用，他們要拿肉去給廠商看。

我說，我要拿給實驗室的獸醫系學長看一下，因為我想知道為什麼會這樣。

最後，我保住了問題樣本，也拿回了錢。

隔天我請教學長，學長看了看就說"這看起來很像感染了豬肉絛蟲"。

當下，我心中對於那兩個咬了豬肉絛蟲的女生，心生佩服，真是超勇敢 !
豬肉條蟲簡介最終宿主是人，中間宿主是豬。人同時也可以成為異常中間宿主（abnormalintermediatehost。

一般情況下，豬在吃了有絛蟲卵的食物後，絛蟲卵在豬體內胃酸和的作用下開始孵化，生出六鉤蚴（hexacanth) 。

六鉤蚴接著進入豬的循環系統，最終在肌肉組織、腦組織等地方停留，發育成囊尾蚴，並被豬組織包圍形成一個囊（cyst）。

當人吃了未徹底煮熟的有絛蟲囊尾蚴的豬肉（俗稱「米豬肉」）後，囊尾蚴在人體小腸發成豬肉絛蟲成蟲，頭節掛在小腸壁以吸取營養，並分生出節片以繁殖後代。特殊情況下，人偶然進食了豬肉絛蟲卵，蟲卵發育出的六鉤蚴可能通過人體循環系統循環到腦組織或者眼球裡發育成包囊，危機人體健康甚至生命。牛肉絛蟲不會有這條異常生活史）

感染癥狀及危害

感染豬肉絛蟲成蟲，人體會面黃肌瘦，無力等。

感染囊蚴，如果囊是在腦，人會出現癲癇，如果數量過多，會死亡。如果囊蚴寄生在眼球，會出現失明。

外食族看到這樣的豬肉,千萬不要吃

讓癌細胞睡著的食物

2011-05-26T05:25:00.000-07:00

請大家多吃含有這些有效成份的食物，讓身體內蠢蠢欲動的癌細胞多多睡覺。

下午參加了一場小型國際研討會，其中有一位目前在美國癌症中心的戴博士以 "Is Cancer Curable?" (癌症是否能治癒?)為題，分享了他對癌細胞生長動力學的研究結果。

癌症最令人害怕的就是 metastasis（轉移）。原生癌並不會讓病人死亡，然而一旦癌細胞轉移，它們在其它組織器官內的興風作浪就讓病人逐漸（或是很快速）的走向死亡。
但是，為什麼有些癌細胞已轉移的病人卻未繼續惡化?

日本曾解剖研究了幾十位無病痛往生的 90-103歲老人，發現他們每一位體內都有不少的癌細胞。但是，為什麼他們的癌細胞沒有造成身體的病痛?

戴博士和幾位癌症研究學者發現，癌細胞在活躍一段時間後會進入「休眠期」，休眠一段時間後又再度活躍，興風作浪。「休眠期」越長，病人能存活的時間就越長，甚至不發生令人害怕的「轉移」。

「預防細胞癌化」那篇中提到的幾種天然物可藉由控制癌細胞內訊息傳導 (signal transduction)的路徑來讓癌細胞進入「休眠期」，所以我把它們再次列，請大家多吃含有這些有效成份的食物，讓身體內蠢蠢欲動的癌細胞多多睡覺。

1. 咖哩的重要成! 份! 「薑黃」（抗癌成份是「薑黃素」）
2. 辣椒（抗癌成份是「辣椒素」）
3. 薑（抗癌成份是「薑油」）
4. 綠茶（抗癌成份是「兒茶素」）
5. 大豆（抗癌成份是「異黃酮」）
6. 蕃茄（抗癌成份是「茄紅素」）
7. 葡萄（抗癌成份是「白黎蘆醇」）
8. 大蒜（抗癌成份是「硫化物」）
9. 高麗菜（抗癌成份是「indole」）
10. 花椰菜（抗癌成份是「硫化物」）

讓癌細胞睡著!

乳癌新種

2011-04-09T04:31:00.000-07:00

請將此信轉寄給你生命中所有的女人:母親、女兒、姊妹、伯母阿姨以及朋友。一種罕見的新種乳癌於十一月被發現。一名女士的乳房如同哺乳中的婦人般起了濕疹。

她的乳房X光攝影片並沒有顯示出任何代表硬塊的陰影，因此醫師只開了一般的抗生素以避免進一步的細菌感染。上了兩次醫院後病情卻持續惡化，醫師於是再度請她去照乳房X光攝影。這回陰影出現了。

切片檢查後，發現了急速複製中的惡性腫瘤細胞。為了減緩細胞複製，先是化療，接下來乳房切除，然後又是一整個療程的化療以及放射線治療。九個月的密集治療之後，醫師們保證她恢復健康了！

之後整整一年的時間，她過著最充實的生活，然而這批頑強的癌細胞竟轉移到肝臟！四個療程之後她決定捨棄有著續多副作用的化療，找回生活品質。她詳細的計畫最後五個月所有的生活細節，最後的幾天在嗎啡的麻醉效果下，安祥的走了。她在臨死前留下了這封訊息，希望轉達給所有的女性朋友們！

女士們！請隨時注意身體細微的變化，並且，有任何不正常的情形時，請儘早尋求醫療協助！

乳房外柏哲氏病：這是一種罕見的癌前病變，以濕疹型態發生於乳頭及乳暈上。濕疹後來會形成一片邊緣有硬皮的傷口。我不曾懷疑這可能是癌症，但癌症找到了我。我的乳房並沒有任何異狀，我看醫師唯一的理由是因為這偶爾會發癢、疼痛，十分惱人又醜陋的濕疹。家庭醫師開給我的任何乳膏都無法除去它；皮膚科醫師先前給我的眼周皮膚病藥物也無法治好它? C讓似乎讓人感到不安，但無法使我聯想到癌症的到來。

我懷疑許多的女性朋友們都不知道乳暈及乳頭上的濕疹可能象徵乳癌。 ( 我一開始的症狀僅是乳頭上冒出一個小痘子 )。柏哲氏病之所以可怕的理由之一，就是因為：乳頭上那似乎無害的細菌感染或是發炎，卻在延誤就醫後一發不可收拾。

有哪些症狀呢？
1. 乳頭有持續的紅腫、不明分泌物以及導致搔癢及灼熱感的硬皮剝落。 ( 我一開始的時候除了一邊乳房有硬皮剝落外，沒有其他症狀)。
2. 乳頭上有無法癒合的傷口。 ( 我當初的傷口分布在乳暈，乳頭中央並且有白色濃稠分泌物 )。
3. 通常只有一邊乳房被感染。這怎麼判斷呢？您的醫師會在觸壓檢查以後，建議您立刻做兩個乳房的X光攝影。因為正常皮膚炎的症狀為紅腫、硬皮剝落以及不明分泌物，所以醫師只有在症狀僅產生於單一乳房時，才會懷疑癌症的可能性。屆時進行發炎部位的病理切片，就能找出病因。

請嚴肅的看待這封信，並且盡你所能的轉寄給親朋好友；它可能拯救許多人的生命。

我的乳癌在無數化療、28個療程的放射線物理治療以及持續服用抗雌激素後，依舊轉移到骨隨。如果能早點診斷出乳癌，說不定就不會發生這種事情了 …。

致所有的讀者：女性同胞不知道柏哲氏病是非常讓人難過的消息。為了幫助四周所有的女人，請將此訊息轉發給周圍的人，使其他人知道這潛在的危險。

如果方便的話，拜託您務必將此信轉發給所有你所知道的人，尤其是您的家人及朋友。

Car cabin air pollution

2011-04-02T19:59:00.000-07:00

Please do NOT turn on air-condition as soon as you enter the car.

According to a research, the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen - take time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car).

In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells.
Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. It will also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benzene level indoors is 50mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors with windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.

If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level.

People who get into the car, keeping windows closed will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the toxin.

Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver.. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff.

Please open the windows and door of your car, give time for interior to air out, dispel the deadly toxin before you enter.

Heart Attack: Cause & Prevention - A true story from a heart attack survivor

2011-03-10T18:36:00.000-08:00

This is e-mail received from a heart attack survivor. It explains the cause and prevention related to heart attack disease.

I am working in Blore Software City ....
I wanted to share an incident of my life with you, hoping that it may be an eye opener to you so that you can live more years.

On 27th October afternoon, I had severe heart attack symptom and I was rushed to the hospital. After reaching to the hospital, the doctors prescribed a test called angiogram. This test is basically to identify blood flow of heart arteries. When they finished the test they found a 94% block in the main artery.

Blocked main artery

At this point, I wanted to share my living style, which has caused this block in my heart arteries. Please see the below points of my life style, if any of these points are part of your life style then you are at risk, please change yourselves.

I was NOT doing any physical exercise for more than 10 years, NOT even walking 30 minutes a day for years.

My food timings are:
Breakfast/ No Breakfast: 11.00 a.m.
Lunch: 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Dinner: 11:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m

Sleeping in very odd timings.
Going to bed between 12:00 to 3:00 a.m.
Waking up at between 9:00 to 10:30 a.m.
Some times spending sleepless nights.

I used to eat heavily because of long gaps between lunch and dinner and I used to make sure that Non-Veg is available most of the time, there were times when I did survey on city hotels to find delicious Non-Veg dishes. I was never interested in vegetable and healthier food.

Above all, I was a chain smoker for years. My father passed away due to heart problems and the doctors say the heart problems are usually genetic.

Once they identified the major block, they have done immediately a procedure called angioplasty along with two Stints, meaning they will insert an foreign body into the heart arteries and open the clogged area of the arteries.

Main artery after procedure

I learnt from the doctors that 60% people will die before reaching the hospital, 20% people will die in the process of recovering from heart attack and only 20% will survive . In my case, I was very lucky to be part of the last 20%.

Doctors Instructions: Need to have physical exercise for minimum of 45 minutes daily.

Eat your food at perfect timings, like how you eat during your school days. Eat in small quantities more times and have lot of vegetables and boiled food, try to avoid fry items and oily food. Fish is good than other non-vegetarian food.

Sleep for 8 hours a day, this count should complete before sun rising.

Stop smoking.

Genetic problems, we cannot avoid but we can get away from it by having regular checkups. Find a way to get relief from the stress (Yoga, Meditation etc).

So I urge you all to please avoid getting into this situation, it is in your hands to turn the situation up side sown, by just planning and changing your life style, by following simple points above.

If you find this useful you can forward this to your friends and loved ones.

清除體內毒素的方法

2011-01-07T21:13:00.000-08:00

人體內的有毒物質主要來源於兩個途徑：一是大氣與水源中的污染物、通過呼吸及進餐而侵入人體內，鉛、鋁、汞等重金屬就是其代表；另一個是食物在體內代謝後的廢物，如自由基、硫化氫等。時下，清除體內垃圾已成健康時尚。

下列方法可幫您及時清除體內毒素。

1.主動咳嗽法:
自然界中的粉塵、金屬微粒及廢氣中的毒性物質，通過呼吸進入肺臟，既損害肺臟，又通過血液迴圈而 ”株連” 全身。借助主動咳嗽可以 “清掃” 肺臟。每天到室外空氣清新處做深呼吸運動，深吸氣時緩緩抬起雙臂，然後主動咳嗽，使氣流從口、鼻中噴出，咳出痰液。

2. 飲水沖洗法：
定時排便，縮短糞便在腸道內的停留時間，及時排出糞便中的毒素。每天清晨空腹喝一杯溫開水，有利於大便通暢以及毒素從尿液中排出。

3.運動出汗法：
皮膚也是排泄毒素的途徑，主要通過出汗的方式，讓毒素隨汗液排出體外。

4.巧用食物法：
●常飲鮮果、鮮菜汁(不經炒煮)，鮮果、鮮菜汁是體內 “清潔劑”，牠們能排除體內堆積的毒素和廢物。

●常吃海帶，海帶對放射性物質有特別的親和力，海帶膠質能促使體內的放射性物質隨著大號排出體外，從而減少放射性物質在人體內的積聚，也減少了放射性疾病的發生率。

●常喝綠豆湯，綠豆湯能輔助排泄體內的毒素，促進機體的正常代謝。

豆漿、水果、綠茶、咖啡、地瓜的效益

2010-12-29T04:09:00.000-08:00

1.睡前喝豆漿：
睡前喝豆漿：豆漿富含100%的優質胺基酸，可製造充分的生長激素，促進身體的新陳代謝，消耗體內多餘的醣份和脂肪，所以睡前喝豆漿，有減肥的的效果，這就是「胺基酸減肥法」，又叫「懶人減肥法」。

此外，大豆富含異黃酮素（天然的雌激素），可降低血液中的膽固醇，保護心臟，預防心肌梗塞，所以女生得心血管疾病的機率只有男生的六分之一，異黃酮素並可抑制人體鈣質的流失，還可預防與基因遺傳有關的乳癌與腸癌，因此睡前喝上一杯 250c c的豆漿，冷熱甜淡隨意，可讓您有一個好睡眠、好體質。

但是現在市面上的黃豆有80％是基因改造的，目前基因改造的食品對人體的影響如何還未可知，如何購買非基因改造豆漿，建議購買統一、味全、光泉、黑松、義美等各品牌，尤其義美豆漿便宜又無防腐劑喔，睡前喝比早上喝的效益更大。

2.吃水果比吃蔬菜好：
吃水果比吃蔬菜好：當個「好色之徒」吧，吃水果要選香的，顏色鮮豔的，含有大量松脂，多吃對身體有益。且吃水果比吃蔬菜好，松脂成分可抗壓，如芒果要選土芒果，葡萄要吃紫葡萄，西瓜選無子大紅西瓜，香瓜選綠色的，哈蜜瓜要選肉色的，水果中以榴璉的松脂居第一。然今後別再吃葡萄柚因會抑制肝的解毒！

3.綠茶效益勝過水：
綠茶效益勝過水：建議喝綠茶來代替水和紅茶，因水帶不走身上不好的物質，紅茶為已發酵的熟茶，因此綠茶優於紅茶，多喝綠茶可以降低巴金森，且綠茶含兒茶素，能保護關節軟骨緩解疼痛。另外，泡過後無味的綠茶包，可用來擦過敏的皮膚跟濕疹唷！可買超市「世家」的綠茶包，很便宜喔！

4.天天來杯咖啡吧！
喝咖啡選阿拉伯豆：每天一杯咖啡，喝咖啡的好處是咖啡可抑制多巴胺L-Dopa，預防老化、巴金森氏症、防癌，咖啡會活化大腦命令四肢時所需要的傳導物，年老以後身手較為協調，壞處是喝咖啡會流失鈣與一些維他命。

懷孕前三個月禁喝，因易流產。此外，喝咖啡要選阿拉伯豆，不是爪哇豆，豆子要新鮮，放久了會產生黃麴毒素。建議可買超市雀巢咖啡粉，標示日本原裝，就是100% 阿拉伯豆喔！三合一的亦可。運動前喝咖啡更好。

5.將癌細胞改邪歸正的地瓜：
地瓜導正病變細胞：地瓜含神經節肝酯，能導正病變細胞；且地瓜可以減肥，因為其澱粉是水溶性纖維，不會囤積體內。地瓜的甜味是多醣，對人體有益，比吃飯更有飽足感，建議一週可用一餐地瓜代替飯來吃。地瓜愈紅愈甜愈好，烤的比水煮和蒸的好，且烤後連皮一起吃更好，超市有賣烤地瓜，一包100 元。

震撼全球66億人的健康大發現

震撼全球66億人的健康大發現
作者：。柯林。坎貝爾和湯馬斯。M。坎貝爾

愈營養，愈危險！？

史上最完整，歷時40餘年，震撼全球66億人的健康大發現！以下是你所不知道的真相...

★ 罹患肝癌的孩子，大都來自吃得最好的家庭

★ 攝取最多牛乳和乳製品的國家，骨折率最高，骨骼也最差。

★ 造成第一型糖尿病的最大禍首，可能就是牛奶蛋白質。

★ 研究統計，飲食中飽和脂肪含量較高的初期多發性硬化症病患，有80％會死亡。

★ 只要改變飲食習慣，不吃動物性蛋白質，腎結石復發的病患就能不藥而愈。

★ 以肉食為主的美國男性，死於心髒病的比例是以植物為主食的中國男性的17倍！

★ 醫師決定如何進行治療的考量要點，通常是基於金錢，而不是健康。

★ 有的醫生讓病人吃了許多苦，花了很多冤枉錢，甚至快要死掉，但其實只要吃燕麥片就可以好了！

★ 醫師會動手術和開藥，卻不懂營養，因為他們根本沒受過營養學的訓練。

★ 沒有任何手術或藥丸可以有效預防或治療任何慢性疾病。

“死亡，是食物造成的！” 柯林。坎貝爾博士如是說。這位被譽為營養學愛因斯坦的世界營養學權威，曾經也是乳品，肉品及蛋白質的忠實信徒，然而在深入亞洲，特別是中國進行了一連串廣泛全面而精密的調查研究之後，他卻發現了一個又一個令人震驚的可怕秘密。在幾經掙扎思考後，坎貝爾博士決定，即使會成為產業界及學術界的全民公敵，他也要將中國營養研究的結果真相公諸於世，於是，一部顛覆全球健康觀念的巨作就此誕生，它的名字就叫做“救命飲食”！

許多你不知道的事實，坎貝爾博士都會在這部有史以來最全面而完整的營養學巨著裡告訴你，包括：每天只要吃下 60克以上的動物蛋白質，你啟動體內致癌因子的機率就會急遽大幅增加，但是只要將動物蛋白質的攝取量減少至 20克以下，就算癌症病灶已啟動，也能予以控制。

18名嚴重的心臟病患在參與研究計劃並採行全食物蔬食後，不僅所有的心絞痛等症狀都消失，其中11名病患原本阻塞的動脈都暢通了，到200 3年時，有17人都還健在，且都已高齡80多了。然而，有5名在研究初期就退出實驗的病患，到1995年年就相繼因心血管狀況而過世了

25名第二型糖尿病患，在採行高纖低脂的素食生活後，才短短幾個星期裡，有24名都不必再接受胰島素藥物治療，而膽固醇濃度也都大幅降低。

在144名多發性硬化症病患裡，凡是飲食中飽和脂肪含量超過20公克者，有80％會死亡，而飲食中飽和脂肪含量低於20公克者，死亡率只有5％。

簡而言之，坎貝爾博士所進行或蒐集到的所有研究資料，都指出一個事實，那就是：世人認為最營養，最優質的食物 - 奶，蛋與肉類，在實驗結果裡卻是史上最強，最有效率的健康殺手！

環境或食物裡的合成化學物質其實不是致癌的主因;父母遺傳給你的基因不一定會讓你成為十大死因的受害者;狂吃維他命並不能長期保護你免受疾病的侵襲;你的醫生恐怕不知道該如何讓你活得最健康......那麼，到底要怎麼做才能維持健康呢？

“救命飲食”告訴你，答案就在於我們吃的食物。被譽為營養學愛因斯坦的柯林。坎貝爾博士，出身於傳統的酪農家庭，他也曾經深深相信牛奶是自然界中最完美的食物，並鼓勵人們多多攝取牛奶，蛋和肉類，因為這些食物含有許多“優質”動物性蛋白質。然而，在坎貝爾博士開始協助進行一項改善菲律賓貧童營養不良的過程中，他發現了一個可怕的秘密──攝取最多蛋白質的孩童，最容易罹患肝癌！同時期的另一份印度研究報告也指出，在被投以致癌物，並且在飲食裡分別含 20％蛋白質和5％蛋白質的二組大鼠中，產生肝癌病變的比例是100比0！

你絕對可以掌握自己的健康，答案就在你的筷子夾起了什麼。

今天癌症研究中心之所以提倡以植物性食品為主的飲食，來降低癌症風險，這都得歸功於坎貝爾博士與幾位在25年前就有先見之明的人。 - 瑪麗蓮龍門，美國癌症研究中心所長

香蕉是最適合當早餐的水果

2010-06-05T17:22:00.000-07:00

平日不正常的生活習慣，是癌症、高血壓、糖尿病等疾病形成的原因。

為了防止這些疾病的發生，適度的運動，和均衡攝取營養的飲食，是相當重要的。

而營養高卡路里低，且能預防癌症，而引起大家注意的就是「香蕉」。

在去年日本癌症學會中，發表了香蕉具有提高免疫力、預防癌症效果的報告，而一天吃２根香蕉，就能有效地改善體質；此外，香蕉價廉、易食、攜帶又方便，是維持健康的營養素，真可說是「神奇的水果」。

香蕉對減肥相當有效，是因為它卡路里低，且食物纖維含量豐富。

香蕉非常甜，因此會被人們認為，卡路里一定很高，其實不然，一根香蕉（淨重約１００克左右）的卡路里，只有８７卡而已，與一餐的白飯量（１５０克２２０卡）比起來，大約只有一半以下的低卡路里。

香蕉可當早餐、減肥食品。

在繁忙的生活中，利用健康食品、或補充劑，來補充飲食不均衡的人，越來越多了。

而香蕉幾乎含有所有的維他命、和礦物質，因此從香蕉，可以很容易地攝取、各式各樣的營養素。

其中香蕉含有相當多的鉀和鎂。

鉀能防止血壓上升、及肌肉痙攣；而鎂則具有消除疲勞的效果。

由於香蕉的消化、吸收相當良好，因此從小孩、到老年人，都能安心地食用，並補給均衡的營養。

最近不吃早餐的人越來越多，而一天的活力來源，又是早餐，因此具有立即性、且能長時間保持能量的香蕉，便成為最適合當早餐的食品了。

此外，因為香蕉是低卡路里的食品，就算是正在減肥的人，也能毫不擔心的盡情食用。

台灣曾經是有名的香蕉出產國，每年外銷很多的香蕉到世界各地，這些香蕉美味可口，但您知道它們也拯救了無數的高血壓朋友？

香蕉中含有很多的鉀，用以平衡體內過多的鈉，鈉已知是高血壓的幫兇，香蕉中天然的鉀就成了高血壓朋友的天然保健食品，經常食用香蕉的人，患高血壓以及其它相關的心血管病變都比較少，如果您有高血壓的困擾，每天吃一兩支香蕉對您一定有幫助。

又如果吃得太鹹的話，為了不使身體內的鹽份含量過重，水份的代謝能力就會變差，所以全身變得浮腫，連腹部也凸出來。

這個時候，多吃含鉀的香蕉，可幫助促進鹽份的排泄，同時應調整飲食習慣，口味要清淡。

義大利曾經有醫學院做過研究，常吃香蕉者的體內“壞的膽固醇ＬＤＬ”會降低，讓您的動脈清爽健康，如果法國人因為喝紅酒讓動脈年輕，我們多吃些香蕉也不會輸給法國的紅葡萄酒，英國劍橋大學也曾做過研究，多吃含鉀食物如香蕉，得到中風機會降低４０％。

飲食報告與知識

2010-05-20T05:53:00.000-07:00

死亡率最高的是30至50歲的人。國際標准壽命等於成熟期的5至7倍者為長壽。人的壽命應該是100至175歲。為什麼都沒有達到呢？不重視保健，而且不聽保健。現在絕大多數是病死的，很少數是老死的。聯合國表揚日本, 因為他的壽命是世界冠軍。女性的平均壽命是87.6歲，我們國家50年代是35歲，60年代是57歲，現在是67.88歲，距離日本整整差20歲。日本的先進經驗是以社區為單位，每一個月講一次保健課，如果沒有來聽就必須補課。我國沒這制度，誰愛聽就聽，不聽拉倒。

我在醫院工作了40年，絕大部分人病死是很痛苦的。聯合國提出個口號﹕“千萬不要死於無知”。死於無知很冤枉。知識分子平均年齡58.5歲，按這個數字，我想不算學前教育，小學6年，中學6年，醫科大學8年，碩士3年，博士3年，博士後3年，都學完後到點了，根本不能幹什麼了。很多科學家沒超過這個年齡。我在美國斯坦福見到了張學良將軍，在紐約參加了他的100歲壽辰。一進門見到他就大吃一驚，他眼不花，耳不聾，很多人問他﹕“少帥您怎麼活這麼久”？他回答很明確﹕“不是我活得久呀，而是他們活得太短了”。這句話的意思是，你活得短，還嫌我活得長。這情景我一直到現在還記得很清楚。對保健一無所知，工作也做不好，因為我們天天處在不健康狀態。我見過很多人，宋美齡我在長島見過，他們都活得很長，都是100多歲。他們能活，我們為什麼不能活。

維多利亞開會有個宣言，這個宣言有三個里程碑，第一個叫平衡飲食，第二個叫有氧運動，第三個叫心理狀態。這三個里程碑國際上都知道。地球人的平均壽命70多歲，我們是67.88歲，還沒有達到平均壽命。而有很多人已經創造紀錄了，據我所知，英國有個叫霍曼卡門今年已經209歲了，經歷了12個王朝，如不信我，可以告訴你個電話號碼，還有個羅馬尼亞老太太今年104歲，更奇怪的是她92歲時生了個胖娃娃。人家能活，我們湊合活著，你能湊合得了嗎？

平衡飲食
也許有人早就認為保健有什麼好聽的，還不是早起早睡身體好。所謂平衡飲食，有飲、食二大類。先說飲食的第一個問題，“飲”的問題。我在北大時問學生，什麼飲料最好？學生異口同聲回答﹕“可口可樂”。什麼叫保健品，大家要知道，它得是能治療疾病的。到現在我們中國人絕大部分都不知道什麼叫保健品。

國際會議上定出了6種保健品﹕第一綠茶；第二紅葡萄酒；第三豆漿；第四酸奶；人家不提牛奶，你注意啦；第五骨頭湯；第六蘑菇湯。為什麼提蘑菇湯？因為蘑菇能提高免疫功能。一個辦公室有人老感冒，有人老不得病，什麼原因？就是免疫功能不一樣。喝蘑菇湯能提高免疫力。那為什麼提骨頭湯呢？骨頭湯裏含琬膠，琬膠是延年益壽的，所以現在世界各國都有骨頭湯街，而中國沒有。不要小看骨頭湯，它能延年益壽，因為有琬膠。為什麼提酸奶？因為酸奶是維持細菌平衡的。所謂維持細菌平衡是指有益的細菌生長，有害的細菌消滅，所以吃酸奶可以少得病的。牛奶本身我們不否定它的作用，但跟酸奶比起來差得很遠現在很多人喝茶，但年輕人不喝。很多人喝紅茶。紅茶加麵包在歐洲流行過，但現在不喝了。大家知道，紅茶加麵包沒有一點保健作用。綠茶為什麼有保健作用呢？原來綠茶裏面含有茶坨酚，而茶坨酚是抗癌的。還有人喝茉莉花茶，我問他為什麼喝茉莉花茶？他的答復很簡單﹕“它很香”。我說你要是為了香，我建議你喝香油。我們不是為了香，而是怕得癌症。日本普查40歲以上的人沒有一個體內沒有癌細胞的。為什麼有人得癌症，有人不得，就是跟喝綠茶有關系。如果你每天喝4杯綠茶，癌細胞就不分裂，而且即使分裂也要推遲9年以上。所以在日本小學生每天一上學就喝一杯綠茶。綠茶裏含茶坨酚，它是抗癌的，在所有的飲料裏綠茶是第一的。茉莉花茶沒有一點保健作用，只是香而已。

第二請注意，綠茶裏含有氟。古代曹雪芹寫紅樓夢時說賈府的人吃完飯拿茶漱口，而蘇東坡也有記載，他每次吃完飯拿中下等茶漱口，目的是堅固牙齒。他不知道是氟的作用，日本人現在搞清楚了，它不僅能堅固牙齒，還能消滅蟲牙，消滅菌斑。飯後3分鐘，牙齒的菌斑就要出現。現在我們很多人牙齒不好，不但不拿茶水漱口，連白水都不漱，問題在哪里不知道。現在有人30歲就開始掉牙，50歲牙就全掉了。如果牙齒好，你當然長壽啦。你拿茶水漱口就把菌斑消滅了，而且堅固牙齒。到了老年，你牙齒堅固，不得蟲牙。

第三個，綠茶本身含茶甘甯，茶甘寧是提高血管韌性的，使血管不容易破裂。醫院每死4個人就有1個是腦出血。腦出血沒法治，就怕生氣綠茶第一抗癌，第二能堅固牙齒，第三腦血管不易破裂。

歐洲他們天天都喝一點紅葡萄酒，紅葡萄的皮上有種東西，叫“逆轉醇”。它整個是抗衰老的，還是抗氧化劑，常喝紅葡萄酒的人不得心臟病。第二它可以幫助防止心臟的突然停搏，我們叫猝停。什麼情況下心臟可以停搏，第一原來有心臟病的，第二有高血壓的，第三跟食物有關系。

過大、過硬、過粘、過熱的食物可以使心臟停搏，血脂高可以使心臟停搏。有一個20歲的小夥子，他抽出來的血是泥狀的，非常危險。我們問他，他說吃得太好了。不是你吃得太好，而是吃得太不合理了。我們有個病例，一個人在街上買了個大年糕，又硬、又粘、又熱，跑回家一進門就讓老太太快點吃，別涼了，老太太剛吃幾口就咽氣了。他背著老太太往醫院跑，到醫院我們問他怎麼回事，他說剛給老太太年糕吃的。這不屬於無知是什麼！沒搶救過來。老太太在家呆得好好的，沒事吃什麼年糕呀，吃完年糕心臟停搏了。現在國際上一再強調，過大、過硬、過粘、過熱就會使心臟停搏。

紅葡萄酒還有個作用是能降血壓、降血脂。世界衛生組織說的是“戒煙限酒”，沒說不讓喝酒，而且酒的限量也說了﹕葡萄酒每天不超過50～100毫升，白酒每天不超過5～10毫升，啤酒每天不超過300毫升。如果你超過這個量是錯誤的。白葡萄沒有逆轉醇，你是白吃了。所以有錢的喝紅葡萄酒，沒錢的吃葡萄不吐葡萄皮一樣保健。

全世界的長壽地區都在無錢地區，第一是巴基斯坦的埃爾汗，第二是蘇聯的阿塞拜疆，還有厄瓜多爾的卡拉汗，這些都是無錢地區。有錢的天天泡在宴席裏，雞鴨魚肉，上下一般粗，將軍肚。我調查了，這樣的人極少活過65歲的。

早上鍛煉很危險，早上起來，人的生物鐘規律是體溫高、血壓高，而且腎上腺素比晚上高出4倍，如果你激烈運動，就很容易出事，容易出現心臟停搏。我們不反對早上散步、做體操、打太極拳、練氣功。但是如果中老年人早上激烈運動，搞長跑，爬香山，有百害無一利，而且死亡率是很高的。

人體需要弱鹼。什麼是弱鹼？蔬菜、水果。凡是發達國家，凡是健康國家都是蔬菜、水果消耗最大。清朝，有13個皇帝，同治19歲死的，順治23歲，咸豐31，光緒38，但有個乾隆活了89歲，他特別會保健，皇帝裏他是冠軍。我們查了他的檔案，第一，他特別好運動，第二他吃蒸發糕，粗細糧搭配，第三這人好旅遊，最有名的就是三下江南，所以他活了89歲。我們調查了818個和尚，30%以上的和尚有90歲以上，最小的一個65歲。亞洲金字塔最好。什麼叫金字塔？穀類、豆類、菜類。我很佩服麥當勞，人家一年拿走我們20多個億，為什麼叫它垃圾食品，就是因為它是一種偏激食品，不符合我們的飲食習慣。

“穀”，人家在國際會議上從來不提大米、白麵，也不提麥當勞。穀類裏第一提的是老玉米，說是“黃金作物”。老玉米的來歷，美國醫學會作了個普查，發現原始的美國人、印第安人沒一個高血壓，沒一個動脈硬化。原來是吃老玉米吃的。後來發現老玉米裏含有大量的卵磷脂、
亞油酸、穀物醇、VE，所以不發生高血壓和動脈硬化。從此以後，美國就改了，美洲、非洲、歐洲、日本、香港、中國的廣州，早上都吃玉米羹了。現在許多人吃卵磷脂幹嘛？就是希望不得動脈硬化。但是他不知道老玉米裏含得最多，不用多花錢。我今年70多歲了，體力充沛、精神飽滿，嗓音洪亮、底氣十足，而且臉上沒有皺紋。什麼原因？喝玉米粥喝的。

“穀”的第二是蕎麥。為什麼提蕎麥？現在人都“三高”，即高血壓、高血脂、高血糖。蕎麥是“三降”，它降血壓、降血脂、降血糖。蕎麥裏含有18%的縴維素，吃蕎麥的人不得胃腸道癌症，直腸癌、結腸癌都不得。我們坐辦公室的人，得病有20%是直腸癌、結腸癌。

“穀”的第三是薯類，白薯、紅薯、山藥、土豆。這類東西是在國際會議上提出來的。為什麼？原來它“三吸收”﹕吸收水份，吸收脂肪、糖類，吸收毒素。吸收水份，潤滑腸道，不得直腸癌、結腸癌。吸收脂肪、糖類，不得糖尿病。吸收毒素，不發生胃腸道炎症。

“穀”裏面還有燕麥，國外早就知道，中國很多人不知道。你要是血壓高一定要吃燕麥，燕麥粥、燕麥片。它能降血脂、降血壓。能降甘油三脂，使你的血脂降下來。

“穀”最後一個是小米！本草綱目已經說明白了，小米能除濕、健脾、鎮靜。安眠，有這麼大好處你不吃！現在很多坐辦公室的人睡不著覺，得抑鬱症、神經官能症，吃安定2片、4片、6片，已經有人吃8片還睡不著。北京日報頭版登出來“安定並不一定安定”。我在農村普查過，那些老頭老太太們不知道什麼叫失眠，躺在床上就呼呼睡。我仔細觀察了，人家是喝小米粥喝的。早上一碗玉米粥，精神煥發，晚上一碗小米粥，呼呼大睡！你要明白，食療重於藥療，這是李時珍說的，所有李時珍寫的本草綱目全部都是食物。我們為什麼不拿食物解決問題，非得吃藥！十藥九毒。

我反對亂吃藥，我主張吃藥“短、平、快”。短時間吃藥，吃平安藥，快速停藥。普查結果中國老百姓缺乏優質蛋白。為什麼？我們現在的藥費比美國高十倍，但我們的身體不如人家。衛生部提出 “大豆行動計劃”，內容是“一把蔬菜一把豆，一個雞蛋加點肉”。

一兩大豆的蛋白等於二兩瘦肉，等於三兩雞蛋，等於四兩大米，美國把每年的8月15日定為全國的“豆腐節”。他們不缺優質蛋白，他們認為大豆是營養之花，豆中之王。大豆中起碼有5種抗癌物質，特別是飴黃酮，它能預防、治療乳腺癌，但只在大豆中才有。

牛奶好還是豆漿好？聯合國國際會議上說，牛奶裏含的是乳糖，而全世界有2/3的人不吸收乳糖，在亞洲黃種人中有70%不吸收乳糖，有人牛奶是喝了，但並沒有吸收多少。對牛奶吸收量最大的是白種人。

豆漿有什麼優點？豆漿裏含的是寡糖，它100%吸收。而且豆漿裏還含有鉀、鈣、鎂等，鈣比牛奶含量多。牛奶裏沒有抗癌物質，而豆漿裏有5種抗癌物質。其中特別是飴黃酮專門預防、治療乳腺癌、直腸癌、結腸癌。

國際會議上第一個提的菜是胡蘿蔔。為什麼提胡蘿蔔？我國本草綱目裏寫的是養眼蔬菜。晚上看不到東西，特別是夜盲症，吃了就好。它保護粘膜的，長期吃胡蘿蔔不容易得感冒。美國人認為胡蘿蔔是美容菜，養頭發、養皮膚、養粘膜。常吃胡蘿蔔的人確實從裏往外美容。在烏魯木齊時他們請我吃餃子，是胡蘿蔔餡的，他們起名叫俄羅斯餃子，我吃完後覺得很美。第一，它養粘膜，不容易感冒；第二，它健美；第三，它有點抗癌作用，而且對眼睛特別好。歐洲已經有胡蘿蔔糕點了。胡蘿卜還不怕高溫，多高溫度營養也不受損失。

“菜”中第二提的是南瓜。它刺激維生素細胞，產生胰島素。所以常吃南瓜的人不得糖尿病。“菜”中應該提的還有苦瓜。它雖苦，但分泌胰島素物質，常吃苦瓜的人也不得糖尿病。蕃茄，就是西紅柿。在美國，幾乎每個家庭都種蕃茄、吃蕃茄，目的是不得癌症。吃西紅柿不得癌症，你知道嗎？不得子宮癌、卵巢癌、胰腺癌、膀胱癌、前列腺癌。西紅柿不是隨便吃的，有人說，，洗洗就生吃唄。還有人切片放白糖，再喝點啤酒。如果是這麼吃的，我告訴你，白吃了！不抗癌。西紅柿裏面有個東西叫蕃茄素，它和蛋白質結合在一塊，周圍有縴維素包裹，很難出來。所以必須加溫，加溫到一定程度才出來。我告訴大家，西紅柿炒雞蛋最值錢了。還有蕃茄湯，或西紅柿雞蛋湯也是好的。生吃西紅柿不抗癌，請大家注意。

還有大蒜。大蒜是抗癌之王。原來是必須先把它切成片，一片一片的薄片放在空氣裏15分鐘，它跟氧氣結合以後產生大蒜素。大蒜本身不抗癌，大蒜素才抗癌，而且是抗癌之王。如果不按我的方法，那是白吃了。大蒜有味不用怕，吃點山楂，嚼點花生米，再吃點好茶葉就沒味了。

血稠的人叫高凝體質。高凝體質的人加上高凝食物，所以過年時心肌梗死的人特別多，年齡不限。有的大夫告訴你吃阿司匹林可以使血不粘稠，不得心肌梗死。但後果是吃阿司匹林眼底出血。歐洲不吃阿司匹林吃黑木耳。黑木耳有兩個作用，其中一個是使血不粘稠。黑木耳的作用是美國心臟病專家發現的。什麼樣的人是高凝體質？答案是矮、粗、胖的人，特別是更年期的女同胞。而且血型AB的人更容易高凝血稠。還有脖子越短越容易高凝血稠。如果給你吃花生米，千萬不要吃，實在要吃，把皮剝了吃。花生皮沒有營養，它只能治血凝片，提高血小板，止血用的。

雷根總統曾經一次被槍傷，還得了一次惡性腫瘤，他那麼大歲數，現在還活著，只是得了老年性癡呆症。是花粉在他身上起了很大作用。武則天，慈禧太后也吃花粉。花粉是植物的精子，它孕育著生命，營養最豐富，在植物裏是最好的東西。大家不要在街上買花粉，街上賣的花粉有硬殼，沒有破壁。破壁要有高科技處理。

第二，花粉是野生的，容易污染，要消毒。第三，它是蛋白質，必須脫敏。花粉必須具備這三條才能用﹕處理、消毒、脫敏。花粉在日本用得最厲害，不管多大年紀的人都用它美容。法國的模特沒一人不用它。文獻記載，花粉治癒率97%。如用花粉治不好，藥也解決不了，最後腎功能衰竭，尿血，然後腎腫瘤。所以要早點治而不要等到腎功能衰竭。還有一個胃腸道紊亂，女同胞多，習慣性便秘。很多人吃瀉藥而很容易得直腸癌、結腸癌。花粉有個名字叫腸道員警，吃了花粉以後，員警可以維持腸道秩序。第三它健美，維持體型。

四條腿的不如吃兩條腿的，而吃兩條腿的不如吃多條腿的。這個概念在歐洲不一樣，你如果參加宴會，要注意，假如有牛肉，又有豬肉，應該吃豬肉。牛肉的問題太多，第一有瘋牛病，第二有口蹄疫，第三有不良膽固醇。如果有豬肉又有羊肉，吃羊肉；有羊肉又有雞肉，吃雞肉；有雞有魚，吃魚；有魚有蝦，那吃蝦呀。動物越小蛋白越好。

國際會議上說跳蚤的蛋白最好。跳蚤別看它那麼小，它可以跳1米多高。要是蝦來了我就吃兩口蝦，這兩口比你一肚子牛肉的蛋白都要多。魚容易普及，魚肉蛋白1個小時就能吸收，吸收率為100%，而牛肉蛋白3小時才吸收。魚對老年人尤其是身體虛弱的人特別合適。當然蝦比魚還好。特別要吃小魚、小蝦，特別要吃全魚（連頭帶尾），因為有活性物質，而且活性物質在小魚、小蝦的頭部和腹部。要買就買小魚小蝦，而且吃全魚全蝦，吃東西要掌握量，不是越多越好。

要吃7成飽，一輩子不得胃病，吃8成飽最多了，若吃10成飽，那2成沒有用，是廢物。0.618黃金分割﹕副食6主食4；粗糧6細糧4；植物6動物4。海藻，而且是螺旋狀的，起名叫螺旋藻。1克等於1000克各種蔬菜的綜合。當時只有皇帝皇后、奧林匹克冠軍吃，別人吃不著。而且是鹼性食品。我告訴大家，日本為什麼是長壽世界冠軍，他們一年消耗500噸螺旋藻， 8克螺旋藻就可以維持生命40天。現在的太空食品，沒有帶包子大餅的，全都是螺旋藻。它對幾個病特別重要，第一是心腦血管病，它能降血壓、降血脂；第二是糖尿病，這病是缺少蛋白、維生素，很難治癒，螺旋藻能補充維生素，而且螺旋藻的最大優點是使糖尿病人不得合併症，能跟正常人飲食一樣。糖尿病人缺少能量，又不能吃糖，螺旋藻是幹糖，攝入幹糖後就有能量了。糖尿病人血糖不穩定，用螺旋藻後可以逐漸停藥，然後逐漸停螺旋藻，最後拿飲食控制。第三是胃炎、胃潰瘍，螺旋藻有葉綠素，對胃粘膜有恢復作用。第四是肝炎，呼籲每個家庭要注意，最好分餐。注意，很多人看起來是健康的，你看不出他是帶菌者。螺旋藻能使病毒不複製，而且大量氨基酸能使肝細胞恢復。它有膽鹼，能使肝功能恢復，提高免疫功能。螺旋藻還有防輻射作用。蘇聯核電站爆炸時，日本專家去搶救，拿的就是螺旋藻，它抗輻射作用很強。

女性在電腦前工作的懷孕女子有的4個月後流產，有的生出來的嬰兒象青蛙一樣，輻射帶給人的影響很大。初步判定原因是房屋裝修，而且是甲醛。國際上規定，裝修後的房屋一定要半年後才能入住。房屋裝修對老年人、孕婦、兒童危害最大。各位不要低估輻射。螺旋藻提純後，很純很小一點叫藻複康，它能抗輻射。在電腦前工作的人，可以滴一點藻複康抹上，也可以吃藻複康。它抗輻射、抗腫瘤、抗病毒、抗氧化，而且提高免疫功能我再總結一下，輻射對我們影響很大，但有幾個方法可以預防﹕第一喝綠茶，第二吃青菜、蘿蔔，第三吃螺旋藻，第四吃藻複康。藻複康最好。實在不行就吃青菜蘿蔔。

千萬不要把電器放在臥室內。尤其是微波爐對我們危害最大，它7米內對我們都有輻射。而且各種電器不要同時開著。又有電視，又有冰箱，又有微波爐，你就在旁邊做菜，得了癌症很冤枉啊。

有氧運動

有氧運動有一個很原則的經驗，千萬不要早上鍛煉。建議大家傍晚鍛煉。飯後45分鐘再運動。而且老年人的運動散步就可以了，20分鐘。要想減肥不用這方法，飯前半小時到一小時吃2粒到4粒螺旋藻，然後食欲就減退了，而且營養不缺。第二是早上起床的時間，國際上規定6點。開窗時間國際上規定9點至11點，下午2點至4點。因為9點以後污染空氣下沉了，污染
物質減少了，沒有反流現象。早上起來開窗戶，不要在那裏大喘氣，因為致癌物質、反流物質都跑到你肺裏了，容易得肺癌。

早上6點至9點是致癌最危險的時候。早起早睡身體好，不能一概而論。你夜裏在家吸了一肚子二氧化碳，呼吸道裏的毒素有100多種，又跑到小樹林裏，樹林裏早上又全是二氧化碳。早上鍛煉，基礎血壓高，基礎體溫高，腎上腺素比傍晚高4倍，有心臟病的人很容易出問題。樹林裏必須到太陽出來，日光跟葉綠素起反應才能產生氧氣。

樹林裏全是二氧化碳的時候，容易中毒，容易得癌症。黃帝內經裏說“沒太陽不鍛煉”。我建議大家夏天早睡早起，冬天不要早上出去鍛煉，而改為晚上鍛煉。70歲以上的人，慢慢起，先動動胳膊動動腿，再按摩按摩心臟，坐一兩分鐘再起來。這樣沒一個得心臟病的。

若頭一天晚上沒有睡好就應該午睡。午睡時間是午飯後半小時，而且最好睡一個小時，睡的太長對身體沒有好處。不要蓋大被子。主張10點到10:30睡覺，因為國際會議上定的，一小時到一個半小時進入深睡眠是最科學的，這就是12點到3點，這3小時雷打不動，什麼也別幹。這3小時是深睡眠。睡前洗個熱水澡，水溫40～50度，這會使睡眠質量高。

心理狀態

心理狀態不好，那你白吃白鍛煉了。一生氣血流得久慢，生氣容易得腫瘤斯坦福大學做了個很有名的實驗，拿鼻管擱在鼻子上讓你喘氣，然後再拿鼻管放在雪地裏十分鐘。如果冰雪不改變顏色，說明你心平氣和；如果冰雪變白了，說明你很內疚；如果冰雪變紫了，說明你很生氣。把那紫色的冰雪抽出1～2毫升給小老鼠打上，1～2分鐘後小老鼠就死了。別生氣。如
果憋不住，別超過5分鐘，超過5分鐘要壞事，血變紫了。

心理學會提出了5個避免生氣的方法﹕一是躲避；二是轉移，人家罵你，沒聽見；三是釋放，找知心朋友談談，釋放出來，擱在心裏要得病的；四是升華，就是人家越說你，你越好好幹；五是控制，這是最主要的一個方法，就是你怎麼罵我不怕。忍耐不是目的，是策略。

國際上有個最新說法，所有動物都沒有笑的功能，只有人類有這個功能。但人類還不好好利用它。古代說﹕笑一笑，十年少。不是指年齡，是指心態。笑口常開，健康常在笑使很多病都不得。第一不得偏頭痛，第二不得後背痛，因為笑的時候微循環旺盛。通則不痛，不通則痛。而且性功能不減弱，生殖功能不減弱。經常笑對呼吸道、消化道特別好。每天大笑三次，肚子咕嚕三次，不便秘，不得胃腸道癌症。只有笑才能鍛煉腸胃。笑促進腦下垂體，產生腦內胚，它是天然麻醉劑。你要是得了關節炎別著急，沖著關節哈哈一笑，一會兒就不痛了。

正常人的眼淚是鹹的，糖尿病人的眼淚是甜的，悲傷的眼淚是苦的，裏面有荷爾蒙。長時間不“彈”出來會得腫瘤、癌症的。

國際會議上已經給我們提出警告了，喝綠茶，吃大豆，睡好覺，常運動，常歡笑，注意平衡飲食，有氧運動。

鉛中毒

2010-05-16T02:20:00.000-07:00

中部一家頗知名、強調健康飲食的連鎖餐廳的外燴場所，我卻發現他們竟然使用鋁製鍋具。看來國人對選擇炊煮用具的認知與要求還是不夠。

我曾拜訪一家食品罐頭製造工廠的老板。訪談中，只見他的頭每隔一段短暫的時間就會不自覺的抽動。雖然他熱情的介紹他的罐頭食品，以及如何精心研發調理出獨特風味，所以銷售業績一直領先同業。說著說著，他馬上打開一罐食品要我們品嚐，自己則以身作則先吃了一口。看著他暗沉無光的臉，年輕旺盛的生命力掩不住頭部出現的症狀，我忍不住為他的健康擔心。

我善意的提了兩個建議:改善食物調味添加物；另外建議他將鋁製容器改成玻璃容器。

臨別，我用開玩笑的口吻告訴他:「老闆，能夠改變，你會賺更多的錢呵！」

有多少人在失去健康以後，才刻骨銘心的了解【健康】才是千金難買的財富啊！

「鋁」是用黏土從電鎔爐中提鍊出來的，鋁鍋經過多次使用以後，就會出現斑駁的黑點，
這是食物中的鹼、鹽、酸等等礦物質經高溫或長時間置放，所產生的溶解現象。

注意鋁製罐頭外包裝的文字內容，有時會看到良心的標示建議，如:未食用完請置於玻璃瓶內或陶製容器內。

但是很多消費者從來未曾注意，吃不完就連罐放進冰箱，想吃的時候，隨時再取出進食，不知不覺中造成慢性的鋁中毒。
鋁中毒現象有情緒低落、易感疲倦、胸悶、腸、胃、肝、腎...
隨著個人不同的身心背景，在身體最虛弱的部位反映出來。
鋁中毒不易察覺，一般人都會根據身體產生的不適症狀，找醫師做藥物治療。
如果在生活中未能檢視自己的身心狀態，尋找生病的源頭，長期下來傷害神經系統，將引起老人癡呆症。

不再使用鋁製罐頭食品，丟掉鋁鍋，多攝取維他命C，可以幫助加速排毒，約兩個月左右，就可以改善鋁中毒現象。

路邊攤的鍋子大部份為鋁鍋,最好先看清楚再叫東西吃,見到用鋁鍋煮東西的攤位最好轉頭就走。

打電腦要開門窗(必讀!)

2010-05-16T01:35:00.000-07:00

嘉義大學美術系一年級的學生劉昆岳，3日下午在宿舍打電腦時，突然昏倒，經校方緊急送往嘉義基督教醫院急救後，仍然宣告不治，初步研判可能死於心臟疾病。週三下午，劉昆岳因為沒有課，因此留在宿舍裡打電腦，不知什麼原因，卻突然昏倒，室友發現後馬上通知護醫，進行CPR急救，同時緊急送往醫院急救。

嘉義基督教醫院醫師楊智穎表示，由於劉昆岳送達醫院時，已經沒有生命跡象，暫時也無法斷定，確切的死亡原因。聽到劉昆岳死亡的噩耗，嘉義大學的師長和老師，一時之間無法接受這個事實，抱頭痛哭。發生這件突發事件，校方除了緊急連絡劉昆岳的家人處理外，同時呼籲學生平時作息要力求正常，以免在現在天氣變化頗大的季節裡，發生類似的意外與不幸。

打電腦要開門窗
據蘋果日報引用英國運動日報的研究指出，在密閉室內鎮日打電腦或玩電動玩具，要當心可能會中到電腦硬體受熱散發出的溴化二苯醚的毒氣。長庚醫院毒物科暨腎臟科醫師林杰樑提醒大家，不只是電腦、電視，很多以多分子聚合體製作的材料在使用發熱後都會散發有毒氣體，因此建議公司行號不要因節省電費而採用循環系統，而應採取交換氣體運作才能避免大家「有毒同享」。

據上述報導指出曾有一名兒童整天關在密閉室內打電腦，而後出現肝腫大、掉髮等溴化二苯醚中毒現象，據研究者表示，包括電腦、電視等電器為防過熱會添入防止電器過熱燒壞的保護劑，而此保護劑會散發溴化二苯醚的氣體。林杰樑表示，其實除了電腦，包括某些以多分子聚合體如塑鋼材質製造的空氣濾淨器、電熱器等在加熱後也會散發出有毒氣體。

事實上密閉式辦公室造成的大樓建築症候群早就引起重視？林杰樑說，多數公司行號幾乎人人一台電腦，而每個辦公樓層也都會設一至兩台影印機，而有規模的辦公室用的都是中央空調系統，讓員工在冷氣房內舒適工作，不過電腦一整天使用加熱會產生溴化二苯醚，影印機則會產生直接吸入就會造成肺傷害的臭氧，而有些為了辦公室美觀的裝潢材質則會產生有毒的福馬林、油漆。而這些有毒氣體其實只要空氣流通，就能避免傷害，然而為了節省電費，很多公司行號中央空調系統採用氣體循環，其實只要調轉到氣體交換的方式，雖然電費增加，但員工健康可獲改善。而在家裡使用電腦、電視等電器，林杰樑建議只要把門窗打開？或使用抽風機把室內空氣排出去，就可以避免毒氣傷害。

早上不要喝冰咖啡

2010-05-14T21:30:00.000-07:00

衛生署日前公佈了去年國人的十大死因統計，惡性腫瘤（癌症）又第二十度蟬聯冠軍，而且是每四名死亡人口中，就有一人「因癌而死」，顯示這二十年來，癌症和國人真的是如影隨形。十大癌症死因中，又以肺癌居首，其次是肝癌、結腸直腸癌、女性乳癌、胃癌、子宮頸癌、口腔癌、攝護腺癌、淋巴癌與食道癌。除了眾人聞之色變的肺癌、肝癌外值得注意的是結腸直腸癌、胃癌、食道癌的排名居高不下，而且往前衝。個中原因在飲食內容之外，應該也和國人飲食習慣有密不可分的關係。

這些習慣最顯而易見的如暴飲暴食、重宵夜、三餐不定時、忽冷忽熱、倉促進食、早餐不吃，或者一大早就喝冰咖啡、冰飲料等，如果仔細探究，都稱得上是標準的致癌凶手。早餐不吃絕對會影響一天的精力來源，最直接的受害當然是胃部機能。可是都不及一早就喝冰飲料的傷害來得大，在整個胃部特別是胃壁在經歷一個晚上的空窗期後，正需要有個溫暖的安慰時，卻給予冰冷冷的飲料，其所造成的胃黏膜、胃壁組織之僵化、硬化結果，縱使是不懂得基本醫學常識的人，經此一說，應該也可瞭解到十之八九，因為任何一個人如果一大早就將他往冷凍庫裡一推（更不要說關個幾分鐘），整身毛細孔不馬上打哆嗦，恐怕很難，嚴重的還可能因此受寒感冒。如再加上咖啡對神經系統、腸胃道的傷害，就更加不言可喻了。眾所皆知，喝了太燙的飲料會傷到食道，相對的喝了太冰的飲料也會對食道有害，這個道理非常淺顯。

至於統計數字中，去年得胃癌的男性足足比女性多了一倍多，也不足為奇。因為綜觀各個應酬場合、夜市攤上，酒酣耳熱、大吃大喝（吃宵夜）的，十之八九都是男性。男人為此付出比女性多一倍以上的代價，也一點都怪不了別人！倒是得胃癌的女性中，有多少人是日常喜歡喝咖啡而且是早上喝冰咖啡的，就相當值得探討了。

無論如何，早上請不要再喝冰咖啡，要喝咖啡，請喝熱的！

早一點睡

2010-05-14T19:39:00.000-07:00

這是真實的事情來自於網路文章,作者的妹妹就在聯旭當設計，死掉的人都還是她熟悉的同事。

她同事死前每天加班到早上六點才回家，睡到中午又回公司繼續上班，連續五天最後一天睡一睡就沒醒過來了，死前都很健康無任何心臟方面的疾病。

其實這已經是她們公司第三個過勞死的了，希望大家能隨時注意自己的身體狀況。

對了，今天聽到一個悲傷的消息。廣告界的好青年，又掛了一人了。

此人是聯旭的，是業務還是設計我也搞不清楚，來過我們公司幾次。

前幾天在連續加班後的某晚，回家睡覺後第二天就叫不醒，掛了。

奇的是，約二個月前，也是聯旭的一位女生業務，也是這樣，不過她是離職後第二天，還是第幾天，睡一覺就起不來了。

醫生說是猝死，推測是過勞。總之，昨天和前天，晚上九點聯旭就全部關燈，大家都不加班了。大家要好好保重身體呢。

那兩名掛掉的都是六十幾年次的。年輕力壯無宿疾呢.............發生跡象：

原本一向身體健康，時常運動（打籃球）但在近日連續熬夜數晚，
經過數日後，突然第二天起床會覺得很疲勞！一閉眼就想睡覺！

（跟前一日熬夜的感覺不同），而且會腰酸背痛，但一到晚上精神又好起來！別以為這是小事！根據中醫的看法，是因過勞而造成體內器官陰陽失調，就是體內器官起內訌，互相打架，最後造成器官衰竭而死。

醫生建議：晚上10:00pm 前最好上床休息，中午盡可能睡半小時到一小時的午覺(午睡一小時抵過晚上睡3小時），年輕人至少一天要睡足八小時。

Bubble Tea

2010-05-12T09:33:00.000-07:00

Received this information via forwarded email which explains the ugly facts of the Bubble Tea.

Bubble tea brings sweet excitement to our taste buds but it is also very harmful to health. Milk essence is the main ingredient in bubble tea. The main ingredient of milk essence is hydrogenated vegetable oil (trans-fat). Experts says that a glass of 500ml of bubble tea a day far exceed the dosage limit of trans-fat for human. It will lead to heart and blood vessel diseases.

Milk essence gives the bubble tea the fragrance and make it very tasty. The fragrance and tastiness derived from a type of chemical. This chemical has trace of arsenic, lead, copper and many harmful minerals. Frequent consumption in long term will lead to heart and blood vessel disease, cancer, asthma and other health complications.

Consuming the black bubbles is equivalent to consuming plastic. Normally these bubbles were made from cassava (tapioca) powder. This alone does not give the rubbery texture. To make it more rubbery, millet protein is added. To improve the mouth feel further, artificial plastic powder is added. This type of artificial plastic material will never be digested and absorbed into the body. It will remain in the body and cause havoc to our health. You can imagine what will happen to your health after prolonged consumption of trans-fat and plastic.

For your health sake, please abstain from bubble tea.

Marco's comment:
Most of the food manufacturers are profit oriented business entities. The so called R&D in such companies are focusing their efforts are as below: 1. Improving the taste and mouth feel of their product. 2. To ensure price competitiveness by sourcing for cheaper ingredients. What do we get end of the days? Very tasty products that processed by artificial ingredients.

吃食物不要吃食品

2010-05-01T04:39:00.000-07:00

吃食物不要吃食品
你知道嗎？現在的廚師做菜好吃，但是不道德。在外面吃多了，會提早落葉歸根。
以下的資訊，告訴你為什麼許多台灣人容易早死。你若讀過，一定會對你的飲食習慣，造成永久的影響。

第一條守則：人應符合大自然的規定，吃：蛋白質：12%，脂肪：25%，醣：63%。
反此條件，則中年以後，會很痛苦。大自然中，蛋白質因為需求量小，創造得最少，所以最貴。大自然中，醣因為需求量大，創造得最多，所以最便宜。
經常吃40%以上的蛋白質，則得癌症。應多吃符合大自然守則的食物。

例如：

1. 排骨便當—有40%蛋白質，對腎臟負擔太重了，吃太多，人就垮了。

2. 麵筋、烤芙—麵粉糰一直沖水，沖掉了所有的醣，產生100%的蛋白質，也就是麵筋、烤芙。每天吃這些，對腎臟負擔太重，很快就落葉歸根了。

3. 用太白粉勾芡的食物—經水分解，會變成最小的葡萄糖，被身体迅速而完全的吸收，造成100%醣。四十歲以上者，身体會受不了。廚師考照是不隨便勾芡的。小心！燒仙草等黏稠點心，或菜名中有「羹、膾、滑、溜」的都用太白粉勾芡，對健康危害較大。

謹記：
麵粉是粗食，不容易消化，血醣慢慢的上升，腎臟沒有負擔。
太白粉是細食，容易消化，血醣迅速的上升，腎臟瞬間大負擔。

五星級的飯店的菜—有90%以上的蛋白質與脂肪，很缺德。許多五星級的飯店今年所開出來的年菜，是60%的蛋白質，30%的脂肪，不利健康。

現在，中年以後得癌症、糖尿等文明病的人，多得不得了，都是因為吃錯了食物。
骨骼疏鬆：原來都以為是缺乏鈣。最近研究發現，是因為蛋白質吃太多，血液變成酸性，所以骨骼的鈣，怎樣也留不住，被抓走了。怎麼治療？病因不是缺乏鈣。要由降低蛋白質下手，使血液漸趨鹼性，才能根治。

糖尿病：少吃糖不會好。病因是胰島素沒有發揮作用，所以醣類沒有辦法代謝。
為什麼呢？因為高蛋白質吃太多，把身体裏的胰島素作用壓抑成無能。怎麼治療？要降低蛋白質，回復胰島素本來的作用。注意：不是吃低蛋白質的食物，是要吃正常蛋白質，只是降低量的攝取。並且，要減少慾望，特別是食欲。

癌症腫瘤：導因為：高濃度的蛋白質吃太多，例如營養補品、肉類、麵筋、種子類等。尤其營養補品是最小分子的食品，代謝困難；或者吃太多加工食品，毒素無法代謝。怎麼辦？若有癌，要降低蛋白質至8%以下。

第二條守則：吃食物，不要吃「食品」。未加工的叫食物，加工的叫食品。
若「食品」吃得堆積如山，則一定得癌症。因為身體代謝辛苦。但是，加工的壞東西好吃，未加工的好東西不好吃。如果愛吃好味道，在今天的台灣，不容易健康長壽。
要知道：一生中，食物的攝取質、量，累積時間，關係到生命的長短。
食品：麵包 (添加人工甜味、乳化劑、發漲劑、等等) <生病>
食物：饅頭 (不添加) <健康>
所以每天吃麵包的人，容易得癌症。

「食品」可以吃，但是不要天天吃。加工的食品，有時以健康食品的面貌出現，如何分別？什麼是缺德食品，不可以吃呢？

脫脂奶粉—此是缺德的食品，常吃會得結石。因為脫脂奶粉一定添加高鈣 (脂溶性) 或高鐵，而脂肪已經被去除，人体就無法吸收、代謝鈣。因此這個添加的鈣，容易傷腎，成為結石。所以要吃低脂奶粉，有一點脂肪的。

脫脂與低脂奶粉，都會添加合成香料。因為奶粉中已去除脂肪，不加點合成香料，如何能好吃？

素食加工品—因為素食蛋白質的黏性不好，所以會加添(劣等)動物蛋白質。另外，一切的造形素(素火腿、素雞鴨、素龍蝦等)，不但是高蛋白質，更添加了人工色素、人工染色，合成香料、合成調味，以及葷食材料。因為人工的色素，幾乎永不退色，而自然色素會退色。若常常吃素食餐廳的合成造形素，則危害身体，容易致病早死。

米蛋白質食品是高蛋白質食品，又是加工化學物，危害身体，少吃為妙。

第三條守則：不要太注重口味與口感，否則死得早。
了解味道的來源，才知道好吃，是會吃死人。不要太講究口味。外面的好吃料理，九成以上都是很缺德的。
首先，了解味道如何來的，才能不被味道，牽著鼻子走。
1、蛋白質：胺基酸 (提供鮮味)
2、脂肪：脂肪酸 (提供香/濃味)
3、醣：簡單糖 (提供甜味)
這三種味道來源，如果粒子体積越小，與舌頭接觸交涉面就越廣，味道就越叫人喜好
。而可怕的是，粒子越小，身体也就越難以代謝，所以基本上，食物不應該太好吃。
以前沒有那麼好吃，現在變好吃了，都是害人的。(廣告說：親愛的，我把雞精變好吃了)

蛋白質：胺基酸
(鮮味)這是最要命的好味道。鮮味只要放得重，人一輩子脫離不了那個味道。(例：味精
，自從發明後，誰能沒有它？)
胺基酸，有必要與不必要兩種：身体所需要的，叫作必要胺基酸。它的粒子大，不好吃，而且很貴，但因為人體自己無法合成，所以必須攝取。相反的，不必要胺基酸(毒)，危害人體，卻好吃得不得了，又便宜，可提煉出鮮度，可以說俗又大碗。所以常常被用來做成加添味道的「鮮味劑」。

常見的「鮮味劑」：各種味精、蠔油、雞粉、香菇精、魚露、柴魚、雞精、高湯塊、烤肉醬、醬油(化學醬油)，各種速食麵的調味包等等。其中蠔油不含蠔、雞粉沒有雞、魚露也沒有魚。它們不會壞，也不發霉，因為連細菌也不敢吃。它們是什麼？它們都是不必要胺基酸，好吃的廢棄物，對身体毒，很不容易代謝，所以食用以後，吸水性強，身体中毒，會非常口渴。

在外面吃東西，愈是鮮香甜的口感，愈產生口渴，愈造成身体不適。所以，吃東西時，可以先叫一碗飯吃下去，等血糖等一切上昇，飢餓感減低時，再吃其他東西，以免吃過量的食物，反而傷害身體，造成負擔。在台灣，九成的餐廳，是不熬湯，只用雞粉、鮮味劑的。餐廳飯店每一家都看過以後，我可以告訴你：外面一切的餐廳，如果不用雞粉、鮮味劑，就要結束營業了。某些鮮味劑加水，它的味道更勝於純雞湯，你知道嗎？如果不用上述的鮮味劑，你會煮菜嗎？如果不放味精，你還吃得下嗎？中華美食要好吃而不口渴。頂級廚師的挑戰在這裏，你能好好用心去想怎麼煮嗎？必要的胺基酸貴又不好吃。對身体好。粒子大，身体必須先消化再吸收。不必要的胺基酸便宜又好吃。對身体差。粒子小，身体會先吸收，再想辦法消化，代謝非常困難。但便宜，所以普及性高。真是集一切好處於一身，只是會吃死人。

可怕的食品實例：
健康食品：所謂的健康食品，都是最小分子量的食品，粒子小而難以代謝，對人体很危險。自已要多看書，去了解營養的吸收，應該從多種的來源，非單一品。不要被不實的宣傳所誤導。

QQ的飯：好吃的飯的便當，便利商店QQ的飯團。又Q又軟又一粒粒晶瑩剔透的，好像日本皇家吃的好米，而且放久也不會酸。那是為什麼？因為添加了一種叫炊飯劑的東西。炊飯劑的成份是酵素、離胺酸、胺基乙酸NH2CH2、矽力焢silicon，屬於樹脂類的防腐消毒劑。它又是最小分子的胺基酸與酵素，要命的好吃口感，但吸水量大，所以沒有細菌，使便當的飯不容易壞，又Q又好吃又透明，外面廣為使用，只是對身体完全的負面非常不好。

好吃的湯頭：胺基乙酸，用買的還要錢。有一種久遠就有的味素，(卅年老店時就普及了)，可以用醋和人尿合成，發酵一個星期即成。醋(=乙酸)，加上尿(=阿摩尼亞，也是最劣質的胺基酸。別忘了：蛋白質胺基酸阿摩尼亞排泄 )。這種胺基乙酸(古早味味素)，若加在湯頭中，就變成了你所吃過最順口的自然美味，很難形容，很好吃，不像加了化學味精。只是這種胺基乙酸缺德，而且對人体非常不好，很傷腎。所以常吃這類的東西以後，有時還可能會忽然不明的腰酸。雞湯塊等：基本的雞湯塊，如果連吃上六年，則可能洗腎。而九成以上的餐廳，都是缺德的使用同類的大量高纖味精，這種味精比傳統的更鮮美(也更難代謝)，所以餐廳煮的，一定能比你自已家裏煮的好吃。

脂肪：脂肪酸
(香/濃)劣等脂肪粒子很小，吃起來比高等脂肪香濃多了。小小粒子的脂肪，本來是廢棄物，是味道很香的缺德廢料。生意人想加在食品中，又不想嚇到你，所以經過某大學教授妙筆改了名字叫：乳酸，蘋果酸、檸檬酸等。誤導大眾還以為是好東西。

還有另外一個，日據時代以來，就一直是叫「糖渣」的廢棄物，是味精發酵而成的廢物，是不應吃的。最近起死回生，居然被業者把其變更名字叫作「糖蜜」。以前有人把大小便叫大蜜小蜜，這個糖蜜應該是同一須屬性的蜜。所以在任何食品、飲料、牛奶內，若發現有含蘋果酸、糖蜜等，不用懷疑，全部都是人身体難以代謝的廢棄物。

醣：糖類
(甜)分成單醣，雙醣，多醣。其中，糖愈小分子，愈好吃，但也愈不健康，所以冰糖比白糖好吃，也比較不健康。小一點的，比較不健康的糖是葡萄糖、果糖與乳糖 (廣告：果糖是好糖??)。尤其，身体吃葡萄糖，都不用消化就直接吸收，所以常吃腸胃器官一定退化。因此葡萄糖只應生病或死前吃而已。
最小的糖：葡萄糖。味道非常的好。(別吃)
小糖：果糖與半乳糖。味道不錯。(少吃)
簡單的糖：麥芽糖、蔗糖、冰糖、乳糖、牛奶糖。(可以吃)
這些對身体都不好。
什麼真正的好糖呢？
比較粗的糖：寡糖。(可常吃)寡糖不是很好吃，但很健康。台糖有賣，可是銷路不太好。

可怕的食物例子：

果汁牛奶：合成色素、人工香味等廢物。(學校已經不淮賣了)

各種果汁、飲料：80%無法代謝的廢物，加上20%的「清淡」果汁。
奶茶：一加了奶精，則是加了飽合脂肪酸、乳化劑，香料。

第四條守則：不吃毒品，毒物。
愛吃色、香、味俱全的菜，可能是早死的原因。因為毒物已悄悄的摻在內了。
台灣人愛吃什麼呢？

台灣人愛吃鹽酸
(就是氯化氫HCL)：鹽酸是製造酸筍、酸菜(牛肉麵)、鹹菜(鴨)所必須用的。而且你知道嗎? 鹽酸也是發酵醬油、蠔油的必須品。所以吃醬油要吃自然發酵的，但市面上比較少發售。酸筍要泡水20分，換水四次，才能用。吃鹽酸泡的這些食物，一定會早死。而且：烹製酸菜、酸筍等食物不宜用鋁製容器，加熱過的酸筍酸菜也應避免放入含苯的包裝物內(如保麗龍)。

台灣人愛吃硫酸
(亞硫酸氫鈉)：花蓮的秀林鄉，率先率在食物上使用硫酸。然後，宜蘭、台東起而跟進廣為用途。若以為台灣鄉下樸實，食物應該沒有問題，那就錯得離譜了。我們所有的經驗都指出，對食物與化學用品知道得愈少的人，愈容易用毒，危害大眾，而不自知。所以身負著眾人健康責任的廚師，要多多看書學習。硫酸，簡單來講就是長生不死藥。只要加了這東西，則色澤保鮮，味道變香又鮮好吃，口感則變有彈性。
乾貨：金針、蓮子、筍乾(焢肉)、竹笙、柿子乾、蜜餞等等，一定必加硫酸鈉。
新鮮物：新鮮的蓮子，10小時即變黑。而新鮮的竹筍，挖出來後4小時內不使用，底部會變黑。這些本來都不能保存的，但你注意看，現在都不會黑了。怎麼會這樣呢?因為這兩者都是浸過硫酸鈉以後，再上市，或塗抹泥土來掩飾。
海鮮魚蝦：注意看，所有的魚一下船上岸，馬上淋上一桶水。那可不是水，而是硫酸鈉。市場的魚販旁邊都有一桶的水，把殺完的魚用水桶的水沖一下，那都是硫酸鈉。淋它一下，永保新鮮、長生不老。

市場的肉：現在黃昏市場的魚肉雞肉，不但不發臭，而且越晚越鮮。以前媽媽教的如何看魚腮是紅色，眼睛是清楚的、肉有彈性，都不管用了。因為只要潑上硫酸鈉，魚肉雞肉永遠新鮮，有彈性，是長生不老魚，你又吃得出來嗎？而現在的蝦仁，怎麼炒都又大又肥，不會縮水，又很新鮮，為什麼跟以前不同呢？浸了硫酸鈉，長生不老了。你怎樣才能知道，你買的肉有沒有潑上硫酸鈉呢？試試一個方法吧：把自已煮好的不放鹽的白斬豬肉，白斬雞肉不要放冰箱，就放在外面吧！如果明天它居然還是好好的，如果它三天五天都好好的不臭，它就是潑上硫酸鈉的長生不老肉。而外面賣的白斬豬肉，白斬雞肉煮好後，會特別再浸一下硫酸鈉，這樣可以放一個星期以上，肉質都新鮮不壞，也不須要冰箱。

觀光區的海鮮：觀光區的飯店，現在都永遠不怕下個雨，沒客人來了。客人少的飯店，也不怕東西會壞掉了。因為肉與魚都可以放很久，還是又嫩又鮮，而且，一定沒有人吃得出來。怎麼辦呢？怎麼防範呢？以前的方法都不可用了，很紅很白的色澤，有彈性的鮮口味，都是問題。只好吃活的? 但現殺的，又不忍心吃。只好吃有信用的肉販賣的，甚至連吃罐頭食品魚肉也相形之下，毒害較少。蝦仁一定要自已剝皮，反而污染少。

台灣人愛吃硝
(硝酸鈉)：以前硝或硝酸是拿來做香腸、火腿、叉燒肉的，硝用量應該是70個PBA，也就是百萬分之七十。所以香腸不要自已在家中做。媽媽做的香腸最毒，雖然不用死豬肉但是硝的用量，無法抓到百萬分之七十嘛！所以一定會多放好幾十倍，甚至於幾百倍以上。而如果食物中含99%的硝酸鈉，其中則有1/27 機會會被吸收變成亞硝胺變成亞硝胺鈉，一進入腸胃，即能致癌。

一直以來，都有那麼多的死豬肉，怎麼處理的？好吃的香腸啦！用死豬的黑血、黑肉，先漂白，再加色，用血紅色分離法，然後加上硝，真是又甜又香又紅的。所以香腸、金華火腿、臘肉不要多吃。像香港名店阿一鮑魚的高湯，號稱用金華火腿熬煮的，含高量的硝酸鈉，吃多了，也就完了。

不過現在的硝，由於彰化一些餐廳的師父教授出來，已經轉身一變成了另一種「味精」，不少餐廳到處都在用了。硝是一種還原劑。用硝來炒菜，只要放一點點，肉又紅又嫩，青菜又脆又綠，味道鮮又好。而且硝的價格只有味精的一半。做高檔的自助餐，菜色1、2個小時都不變色，也不變味。除了會吃死人以外，實在太適合做菜了。

所以現在有一種餐廳，標榜菜都不放味精的，又有好原味、好色澤。他們承襲彰化大師的教派，菜中放的就是硝。外面是做生意的，別人放硝，你如果堅持不放，你的青菜會黑，肉又那麼不香嫩，你怎麼競爭？

再勸愛吃很好吃的魯肉飯，焢肉飯的人要注意了！大家都知道，豬肉加上硝，好吃得不得了，而且肉又Q嫩又香滑，肉色又好，是你最不能忘情的好滋味。但硝的含量是平常的一萬倍。所以現在外面賣的魯肉飯，焢肉飯，放硝的很多，小心為妙。另外，樟茶鴨等菜色一定放硝，所以不應多吃。如果每天都吃硝炒的菜，不出一個月，就會種下癌症的因子。

台灣人愛吃鴉片那麼多人都忘不了、離不開的麻辣火鍋，在中國大陸已抓到大部分的麻辣火鍋，都放著罌粟花殼粉。罌粟花殼粉就是鴉片的殼，磨的粉，非常的便宜，掉在地上沒有人要的。而一旦加在食物裏，有一種擋不住的感覺，讓你非去那一家吃不可。你知道嗎？在台灣，罌粟花殼粉也進了非常的多，一般都放在西點麵包裏。有放罌粟花殼粉的麵包店的麵包，實在是太好吃了，有一種擋不住的感覺。以前的有一種蜂蜜蛋糕，是高級品，現在蜂蜜蛋糕的味道與這種麵包一比，是完全比不了的。這種麵包實在太香太好吃了。如果，你總是特別離不開的某一家麵包店的特別某一種麵包，不吃的話，過了很久都會想念，覺得別家怎麼也比不上的，這可能就有點問題。

台灣人愛吃農藥種菜一定要放很多大量的農藥，所以台灣人不能不吃農藥。你到市場，怎麼選菜的?
要好看的菜，還是難看的菜?
這是供需問題。所以從現在起，要接受難看的菜。農藥那麼多怎麼辦?
首先菜一定要「先洗後切」。我可以告訴大家，外面餐廳的菜，一定是先切後洗，比較好處理。所以外面青菜也是不行的。記得，在家要先洗後切。在家不要用清潔劑洗菜因為一定殘留。

記不記得坊間流行用「鹽」洗菜，可去除農藥？這是一個誤傳。怎麼來的呢？鹽的確可以清除農藥，但是實行起來，卻幾乎不可能。那是因為，必須用清水加上，不多不少剛剛好1%的鹽，去洗菜。其產生的物理/化學作用，可以去農藥。但是如果鹽是1.15%, 或是0.98%，就沒有任何用處了，所以其難無比。
還有一種笨方法，能有效的減少農藥殘留，那就是去根、去皮，把葉子一片片取下，刷表面，泡水廿分鐘，再用。但如果都做不到，可以用下面所教，較實際的方法，確實做到下列幾點，即能少吃農藥：
1.地下的根菜類，較少污染。
2.吃外皮很厚，或要削皮的果菜。
3.吃外皮很滑的菜，較不殘留 (如：蘋果好，芭樂不好)
4.雨後再買菜，而且買經得起雨的菜。
5.一切菜都汆燙後再烹飪，可以洗去一些農藥。
6.煮菜全程不加蓋，讓農藥蒸發，也就是說，不可以燜。
7.吃冷凍蔬菜(已汆燙了)
8.吃罐頭蔬菜(雖不好，但農藥很少)
9.所以小白菜不能吃，農藥多得不得了。
10.苦瓜也不好，一般都有放農藥，外皮粗，不能削皮，農藥卡在皮的縫隙裏, 無法去除，又要燜煮，農藥非常多。會做菜的人，風險要分散，一天吃低風險，一天吃高風險的菜。

另外要注意，有些常吃的食品如：豆腐、豆干、麵條、米粉等，有經漂白水、CL2, 硫磺等，加色或漂白過，所以一定要汆燙，去除毒質。台灣人歡迎基因改造的食物五年前才上市的基因改造的食物，已知能使實驗室的動物免疫力降低，容易生病。但因為統計資料缺乏，目前對人体情況不明了。(DDT 在50年後才發現對人体不好。) 美國的法律是，除非能證明對人体有害，才不能上市。歐洲的法律是，證明對人体無害，才能上市。因此，時至今日，美國的農產品已九成以上，全面基因改造。台灣跟隨美國的腳步，也欣然接受基因改造的食物。其中，現在台灣人所吃的黃豆類食品，如豆腐、豆漿等，以及所買的黃豆，除非特別加註聲明，否則都是基因改造的食物。另外美國進口台灣的玉米，蕃茄醬，義大利麵醬等等，以及台灣一些標榜「生化」或「科技」的食品或飲料，都是基因改造食品。

WTO以後，美國基因改造的食物，包括水果與蔬菜，會全面輸入。基因改造，因為好種好收，現在也推廣至很多的台灣農作品。到時候，如果想吃非基因改造的傳統食物，就要認真的去尋找了。

台灣人大吃非食用色素
直至今天，不可以食用的色素，還是廣泛的被添加在食物中。如「紅花米」是不可食用的色素，卻一直用在紅龜粿上。而鹽基性介黃，亦非食用色素，還是常被使用在製造俗稱「它獷」的黃蘿蔔上。所以想活得健康，應該學習如何保護自已的安全。以下是可食用的色素的「完全手冊」。雖然可以食用，還是添加物，最好是不要去食用，更不要提那些，不可食用的有害色素了。
可食用藍色色素：1號、2號(或4號,目前有爭議)
可食用綠色色素：3號
可食用黃色色素：4號、5號
食用紅色色素：6號、7號、40號。
其他，只要沒有提到的，雖有廣為使用，如紅色2號、紅色103號等，都是能避免就避免為吉。

第五條守則：食物周圍，不用毒物。
小心使用清潔用品，與食物的保鮮膜、吸管等。
清潔用品
你用什麼來洗澡？用什麼來洗碗？這些有毒的化學，怎麼由無毒的大自然提鍊出來呢？海水蒸發成為鹽=氯化鈉再用化學法，分離提鍊氯化物，與鈉化物。(毒)氯化物與鈉化物，都對人体不好，因為都有毒，無法排除。但是商人可以在兩邊的用品，大賺其錢。
台灣人愛用的氯化產品類台灣人愛用的鈉化的產品類
清潔劑鈇胺酸鈉 = 味精
消毒劑硝酸鈉 = 香腸、火腿、素香腸
除草劑己二烯酸鈉= 豆干、防腐
農藥檸檬酸鈉 = 各種飲料
DDT 甲基纖酸鈉 = 飲料內(如芭樂汁)的濃稠物

台灣人愛用的氯化產品類台灣人愛用的鈉化的產品類
三偏磷酸鈉 = 食物有Q度 (硼砂的新替代物)
便當飯、粉圓、丸子類等
亞硫酸氫鈉=金針(的黃色)
其中，清潔劑愈來愈乾淨，也愈來愈毒。
早期使用CL2氯氣(毒)
其次用HCLO4次氯酸=以前的洗潔劑，漂白水等(很毒)
後來使用H2CLO7過氯酸(非常的毒)
現在則是大概都是二氧化氯CLO2
(超級猛毒)大概九成以上市面架上所售的清潔劑都是。清潔劑，殺菌力愈好，清潔度愈高，但是愈是高度致癌。

包裝用品你用什麼來裝放你的食物呢？
名稱用途毒性
PE 聚乙烯塑膠袋毒性較低
PP 聚丙烯塑膠袋
PS 聚苯乙烯保利龍
PVC 聚氯乙烯保潔膜絕不可加熱、毒性很高
PVDC 聚偏氯乙烯保潔膜不可與油脂混合
化學名中，中文筆劃愈多愈毒，英文字母愈後面愈毒。
要使用PP與PE 產品原因：
PP與PE是碳氫化合物，成分是臘，不會被人体吸收，就算是吃下去，也會被排出來。
(所以蘋果：打臘的比農藥防腐的好)
PE 袋(密度小，全透明，磨擦聲小)，可耐熱至105℃都無毒
PP袋(密度大，半透明，磨擦聲大)，可耐熱至135℃都無毒
而一般市售的紅白條的塑膠袋，是回收而且摻有紅色色素，此色素會危害人体，不可碰觸食物。

小心用PS產品PS (聚苯乙烯)
產品使用不當，會產生劇毒，影響中樞神經。PS產品(全部含苯)包括：保利龍碗盤PSP，各種非PE/PP的塑膠杯碗盤HIPS、透明塑膠杯HIPS，透明盒(硬的，彈指會有梆梆聲,可裝水果、生煎包子那種)OPS，便當盒蓋(底下是深咖啡色或紅色那種)、養樂多瓶。
PS產品是含苯器皿，會被三種的食物溶解、分解，產生劇毒、或致癌，危害人体。所以，以下三種的食物，一定不能與PS產品接觸。

1. 酸性(水果如柳丁、鳳梨、葡萄、楊桃，百香果等等含豐富維他命C)
2. 芳香味道(草莓的香，精油的香，有香味的食物)
3. 脂類 (油膩的食物，肉類、油炸、油炒物)
含苯的器物(包裝材料)，與含氯化合物(加工食物或包裝材料)，兩者加熱至200℃後，則產生戴奧辛，所謂的世紀之毒。含苯器皿，也應避免使用，會致癌。
PVC保潔膜(聚氯乙烯)，不應使用在食品上。

保潔膜一定要買PE的，用在廚房食物上，才安全。市面上有很多保潔膜是PVC(聚氯乙烯)與PVDC(聚偏氯乙烯)的，PVC不可加熱，PVDC不可以包裝油脂食物加熱，會釋出毒性。買保潔膜一定要看包裝上的材質說明。

吸管則應使用透明的(PE)，最好不要使用有色彩(包括白色)的吸管，此含有色素，如同紅白塑膠袋一樣，不應用來放食品。
注意：買來的油，切不可隨意裝瓶。如果沙拉油，裝在PVC(透明瓶身，沒有皺折，底部有一平線如： Oslash;或Θ)的瓶子內賣，亦不可買 (市面有)。油要裝在玻璃瓶最好，其次是金屬瓶、或是PET保特瓶中或是PP、PE瓶(瓶底有皺折，底部如#9737;即可，可以回收)。

使用紙巾：(正確使用，不毒害我們的環境)
衛生紙(Toilet Paper)：溶於水，可被水分解，可放入馬桶中沖走。
抽取式衛生紙(Tissue)：不溶於水，不被水分解，不可入馬桶中。
餐巾紙(Napkin)：不溶於水，不可入馬桶中。
粗的擦手紙(Paper Towel)：不溶於水，不可入馬桶中。
而衛生紙不能用來擦臉或擦食物，會分解出微細毛屑。

第六條守則：不買所謂的有機蔬菜。
台灣沒有真正的有機蔬菜。有的只是一些生意人，想多賺一點錢。因為有機蔬菜比其他一般的菜貴80%。你如果以為買的是有機蔬菜，則處理上會太粗心，又會吃到過量的農藥化肥，化學激素，又只好死得早了。

什麼是有機蔬菜？有機，就是有氮C氫H氧O的有機化合物。有機蔬菜，簡單的說，也就是沒有農藥，沒有化肥，沒有照燈光，沒有加生長激素(荷爾蒙)，要有休耕期，三公里內沒有污染(台灣沒有可能)，一定以網式栽培的菜。有機蔬菜較甜脆，不容易變色(褐變)。而且有機蔬菜一定是黃綠色。如果是綠色的，則是騙人的。水耕蔬菜不是有機蔬菜：所有的水耕的蔬菜，都在水中加了化肥，並且只供給有限的養分，絕對不是有機蔬菜。但現在台灣，都當做有機蔬菜來賣。

芽菜不是有機蔬菜：小麥草，豆芽菜，苜蓿草，綠豆芽，黃豆芽都很差勁。因為本來應該要八天才長大的芽菜類，現在一天就長大了。因為放了瑩光增白劑。這種有毒的類生長激素，會催化芽菜生長，而且芽又大又肥又不會壞，會致癌。這種芽菜，都不是有機蔬菜，但現在都當做有機蔬菜來賣。所以有機蔬菜，還是少買。多花錢，健康卻不見得有保障。

第七條守則：了解如何煮素食，吃素食。
吃素比吃肉健康，但前提是，你了解如何吃正確的素食。否則你不但不能健康，不能益壽延年，大概還比吃肉的人，容易早死。首先要知道：所有的各種豆子類，都有抗營養因子存在，經過煮熟後，才會消失。所以一切豆類都必須煮熟才能食用。廚師做菜豆類(包括青豆、黃豆芽等等)一定要先汆燙，再煮熟。豆子不可是脆脆的口惑。(要全熟軟化)例如：黃豆有很高的抗胰蛋白質酵素，豆漿要至少要連續煮沸四次，就是煮一次加一次水，再煮，如此四次才能食用。亂煮豆漿會生病、拉肚子的。
吃素的時候：
首先注意：少吃加工食品，常吃天然的青菜，水果，豆類，米食。

第二要注意：
素食中，蛋白質的攝取，一定要配對進行。因為所有的天然素食，都是不完全蛋白質。
要是經過配對，會轉換成比肉類更優良的完全蛋白質，幫助身体活得健康長壽。
例如： {豆類+穀類} ，{豆類+穀類+麵食類}，{奶類+麵食類}。
這配對的 { } 內的東西，一定要在同一餐中，一起吃下去。
為什麼呢？例如：黃豆有很高營養，但缺乏甲硫胺基酸。互補為芝麻。吃純素的人一大杯500cc的豆漿，只須要配合七顆芝麻即足夠了。那只是一小口燒餅上的芝麻而已。多吃的會增加身体負擔。
(注意：有吃蛋吃肉的人，不要用互補式的吃法。由蛋肉類取得的蛋白質，通常已超過你每日所需量。過量營養，是造成一切現代病的病因。在人類的文明裏，凡是這樣正確吃主食的民族，都能存活下來。因為古時新鮮肉類，難以取得、保存，所以素食蛋白質，必須佔人類飲食的大部分。

民族正確飲食的例子：
吃豆腐配飯{豆類+穀類}的漢民族。
吃味噌湯配飯{豆類+穀類}，豆皮壽司{豆類+穀類}的日本人。
吃麻醬麵{豆穀類+麵食類}，豆漿燒餅油條{豆類+穀類+麵食類}的中國北方人。
吃咖哩豆子飯{豆類+穀類}的印度人、豆子飯{豆類+穀類}非洲人。
吃比薩{奶類+麵食類}、義大麵{奶類+麵食類}的義大利人。
吃牛奶餅乾{奶類+麵食類}，吃奶油麵包{奶類+麵食類}，起司三明治{奶類+麵食類}的西方人…等等。另外，玉米與青豆是絕配，可以互補。玉米缺乏離胺酸(以玉米為主食，會產生癩皮病)，青豆含離胺酸。所以在中西文化中，常常見到玉米、青豆、胡蘿蔔在一起所煮的炒飯，或肉邊配菜。因為它的高營養價值，這也是最常見的冷凍蔬菜。吃東西是一門學問。

吃素更應該學習看書，了解如何吃素，才是正確的，而不是一味的吃醬瓜(加工食品)、麵筋(加工的100%蛋白質)。或是注重口味，常常吃外面餐館(大部分是加工食品)。或是以為吃素的人須要多一點營養，可以大吃補品(如營養食品，或高度加工的奶類、起司等，或吃過量的豆類種子類，沈積過多蛋白質)，造成身体負荷過重，排毒不易，提早駕鶴西歸。

第八條守則：要運動
最好的運動是散步。歐美研究指出，每天散步一個小時，可以減低90%直腸癌的機率發生。運動可以幫助身體代謝，不便秘。如果不想得癌症，就要動。世界上，沒有心臟癌。因為心臟時時都在動。若器官一直在用，則不會生病。鯊魚終其一生，沒有靜止的一刻。它也是地球上，不會得癌的罕見動物。建議更年期以後的婦女，運動下腹部，(例如搖搖呼拉圈)。較不容易得子宮癌。另外，婦女月經來的，如果產生經痛，還是要稍動一動，讓經血流出。不可完全靜止。經血不動，會產生倒流，久而久之，會病變成瘤。

第九條守則：不便秘，不忍尿
便秘、忍尿，就是使毒素累積，無法排除。如果正常的吃喝，而不能每天正常的大小便的人，不用再說，一定能比別人更早落葉歸根的。

結論
總之，今日的世界，要善能養生的人，必須克制食慾。首先，不要迷信好味道。要了解，正常的食物味道不錯，但是味道的範疇，不可能差別太大的。在家裏你用真材實料用心去煮，沒有那麼好吃的話，在外面不應該會變得太好吃。在以前的時代，沒有那麼好吃的東西，到今天，更不應該變好吃了。再來，要知道什麼是原味。你要煮菜，應該立願做頂級的廚師，挑戰自己，煮出好原味來，絕不在生食肉品內，或在烹調中，添加化學物品，來增進不真實的鮮味與色澤。然後，請幫助自已與大眾，活得健康長壽。今日健康長壽之道，有很大部分，是靠一個人對環境與食品的認識。對這方面的無知與天真，可以奪去你的健康與生命。做一個有良心的廚師，肩負大眾健康的巨責，尤其要常常吸收這方面的知識。

善待你的膀胱

2010-04-17T07:37:00.000-07:00

一般來說，正常的膀胱當尿液達到150cc時，就會有初步的尿意，但這個訊息，大概只在大腦停留1秒，一閃就過了；而當尿液增加到200cc時，尿意就會顯得比較強烈，大部分的人如果沒有特別留意，選擇不去上廁所，膀胱還是容許繼續憋著。不過，當膀胱尿液容量增加到400cc時，就到了非解不可的地步。但膀胱這個容器可是有伸縮彈性的，雖然是非解不可，但如果你強忍著尿意，膀胱可允許的容量甚至可以達到800cc、甚至1,000cc。通常，如果要給「憋尿」下一個定義，必須要將相當富彈性的尿液數量化，一般來說，有200cc以上的容量，就算是在憋尿了。

善待自己的膀胱

應付競爭越來越激烈的上班環境，許多上班族都在不知不覺中養成憋尿的習慣，上班族一定要善待自己的膀胱，千萬不要養成憋尿的習慣，否則年紀日漸增長之後，膀胱將會把你所有的虐待「連本帶利」還給你。現代人因為來自社會的壓力大增，每個人面對不同的工作型態，也有不同的工作環境，大家也各自發展出自己的生存法則，但是在與時間競爭下，能省一段時間就是一段時間，

當然廁所也是儘量少上為宜，甚至還有人以自己能長時間憋尿沾沾自喜，以為自己很有「力」。其實憋尿對自己的泌尿系統多少會造成傷害，狀況輕微的話，會造成尿道、膀胱發炎，小便會有灼熱感，甚至會出現刺痛的狀況；再進一步會讓自己產生強烈的殘尿感，敏感的尿意會讓自己不斷的想上廁所，甚至連膀胱都已排空還會想上廁所，如果狀況嚴重，將會導致腎臟發炎，甚至長期住院。因此，上班族千萬不要刻意憋尿；但也不要矯枉過正、過猶不及都不好，一有尿意就要上廁所也沒必要；如何找出一個「憋與不憋」的平衡點。此外, 雖然泌尿科醫師建議每天要喝2千到3千cc的水，但是為了避免憋尿，也要依照自己的工作性質調整自己喝水的節奏，才能讓自己喝得健康。記住，膀胱也算是消耗品，如果年輕時沒有好好地對待它，濫用膀胱的收縮與感覺，一旦年紀增長，膀胱就會將你年輕時對它的虐待，「連本帶利」的還給你，讓你飽受「少年不努力、老大徒傷悲」之憾。

看完了嗎?去尿尿吧!

影響健康的因素-- 脂肪、黏液、毒素

2010-04-05T02:07:00.000-07:00

我們先從脂肪探討起，假如你們家有女兒，你有沒有注意到她幾歲開始發育我常常到學校去演講，現在的小學生平均在4年級就開始發育了，大約是9歲10歲左右.再回想我們這一代，那時的女孩子幾歲開始發育？都是在國中以後13、14歲才開始發育的，為什麼差一代差了那麼多提早了3至5年。這樣是不是遺傳？我們西醫找不到原因通常就說它是遺傳。

現代的女孩這麼早就發育了，是不是好現象嗎？不是啊！所以我們看現代的國中生是不是臉上長了一大堆東西，一般家長以為這就是青春期，那為什麼你的小孩長而別的小孩不會長？我跟各位講，看到小孩子長東西，就馬上做兩點推論：

1.肝臟本來就幫我們人體過濾油脂的，然後從大便拉掉，對不對？但現在就是你們家長給他們吃了過多的脂溶性毒素，肝臟來不及過濾了。

2.或是肝臟已經壞掉了，所以只好從皮膚作替代性的排除，否則油脂會進一步帶到腎臟破壞腎臟功能。所以現在你們有沒有看報紙，有小孩8個月小小年紀就得到肝癌。你們有沒有想過為什麼？我跟各位講，你們給小孩吃了過多的脂溶性毒素了。那什麼叫作脂溶性毒素，就是所謂的飽和性脂肪酸，如動物的油脂，牛油、豬油..等。

還有一種油是大家都疏忽的，叫TFAS，或反式鍵結脂肪酸，它是什麼油呢？就是我們一般所謂的氫化植物油、乳馬林或是人造奶油。這種油存在於大部的西點與餅干裡頭。還有我們去吃韓國烤肉時，旁邊放的那一塊奶油或是奶油餅裡所包的都是這種油脂。

這種油在料理時好香喔，以前以為這種油比奶油還營養，結果幾十年下來，發現不得了，發現它是經由加工處理過的，它的結構在化學上是呈反式的鍵結，它比真正的奶油要毒上好幾百倍，Time雜誌在幾個月前就已經公布出來了，這種油在自然界是不存在的也就是說在自然情況下，人體是無法處理消化這種油脂的。一吃下去馬上對肝臟產生傷害，而且還會破壞人體細胞膜，造成細胞的缺陷影響未來的複製與再生。結果大家都不知道，你們家小孩愛吃麵包，臉上就長個麵包臉；更何況有些媽媽根本就不做飯的，整個家庭都是外食的，那你們想想，外面的自助餐或餐廳可不可能給你們弄什麼好油？

所以你們家小孩為什麼臉上長的花花綠綠的現在了解了吧！他的肝臟可能已經受到脂溶性毒素的傷害了。要是你們家長還不把它當成一回事，那你們要注意啊！油脂會堵塞毛囊，男子年紀輕輕20幾歲就開始洗頭掉頭髮，開始要迎接禿頂時代。

有些太太會問，那我和我的先生都吃一樣的東西，為什麼只有我的先生會掉頭髮，而我不會？那讓我們來探討男生和女生的生理結構有什麼不同，女生是不是每個月都有一次月經啊，女孩子每個月會藉由月經將脂溶性毒素排除體外，所以當然只有你們的先生會掉頭髮。而男孩的脂溶性無法由下面排除出去，就是所謂的「雄性禿」。而我們只看到洗頭掉頭髮，沒有沒看到心臟血管開始在堵了？腦血管在堵了？這樣就知道了吧，為什麼現代人有這麼多的心臟病和腦中風。

再來了，這些脂溶性毒素會堆積骨頭裡，慢慢造成所謂的退化性關節炎，這些人只要一稍微吃油脂，關節就開始痛、手就開始麻起來了，百試不爽。再下去這些脂溶性的毒素會干擾到內分泌系統，你就會出會一大堆奇奇怪怪的毛病，包括糖尿病，所以爸爸糖尿病、兒子也有糖尿病，不要就以為是遺傳，是因為爸爸吃得油膩膩、兒子也跟著吃得油膩膩。所以糖尿病患者只要將油脂的攝取量降低，很多病患的血糖都可以恢復正常。所以這種現象怎麼可以叫做遺傳呢？所以光一個脂肪在我們的身體各部位不正常的堆積造成不同的病名，你們從小有沒有告訴你，那些幫你開一些紅紅綠綠的葯的醫生有沒有告訴你，沒有啊！難怪他們的頭髮掉得比你先生的還多、臉色比你的先生還差，那就很奇怪了，為什麼那些醫師開出來的紅紅綠綠的東西，你們為什麼要吃。

<癌細胞是好細胞>是一篇發人省思的文章。

你知道一星期你最多可以吃多少雞蛋嗎？你吃幾粒？你呢？
答案原來是四粒。醫師說時傳來一本台灣翻譯的醫學書籍，指著上面的例子。

「我從前肯定是超標的，早餐荷包蛋、午餐烚蛋、晚餐炒蛋，方便又有營養嘛。因為從來沒有人告訴我，吃蛋無益。」以上的獨白，出現在一個健康講座上，說話人是梅襄陽，台灣牙醫。他每逢一三五看病，二四六做免費演講，宣傳健康飲食防癌之道。聽他的演講，總覺得有濃厚的「傳道」意味。

癌細胞是好細胞面對荼毒生靈的流行飲食文化，他惡之如魔鬼。演講中經常引述的《如何從飲食防癌》、《新世紀飲食》、《別讓醫生殺了你》，就是他的聖經。多一個人加入組成防「癌長鏈」民間組織，就是他的救贖。不為什麼，只因為他曾經受過此苦。三十三歲那年，風華正茂的梅醫師（台灣是如此稱呼）證實患上肝癌，同時發現嚴重脂肪肝、腎臟抽痛、嚴重痛風。

只有三公分大的腫瘤，叫當時八十公斤約一七六磅重的小胖子吃盡苦頭。醫師也是人，他當時想的也是：「這些怎麼會發生在我身上？」冷靜下來後，他檢視了生平所學，審查了個人的生活習慣。六年來，從不斷的資料蒐集和整理當中，領悟到癌的真諦。「癌細胞是什麼？是你的死敵？你錯了。」在講座上，他神情並茂的為人人得而誅之的癌細胞辯護：「它其實是你自己的細胞。你現在割它、電它、殺死它，通通都不對。因為它之所以變成癌細胞，都是因為維護你，為了裹住體內過量的毒素，自我犧牲。」我們身體有太多毒素「你知道嗎？肝臟是我們身體的化工廠，所有脂肪類或脂溶性毒素，都要經過肝臟過濾。太多毒素過濾不了，就會進入血液，然後從皮膚上排出來。現在的小孩子到五六歲，臉上就花斑斑的，就是因為他們吃了太多質素欠佳的食物囉。」聽著梅醫師這麼迫切的語氣，頓時讓人感到呼吸窒息，什麼！現代人吃得實在太糟糕了！身為癌症康復者的他，反而精神奕奕，比起很多四十新中年後生得多。到底，他憑什麼走過來？「就是飲食」這六年來，他摒棄了從小到大至愛的蛋、奶、肉，改吃地瓜湯、青菜、水果、素食營養粉等，只吃一頓正餐，經歷過兩次大排毒反應，硬是將嚴重的飲食不平衡校過來。

排毒過程

置諸死地而後生「當時咳了超過一個月，咳得胸痛肚痛，伴隨感冒發燒，吐出來的都是黃痰，黏黏的，很臭！」他正色道：「千萬不能用藥去壓，多飲水，休息三五七天就好了。你知道嗎？不論你得什麼癌，到最後總是咳嗽，因為毒素變成黏液，要透過淋巴排出來。但醫生一看，不得了，是急性肺炎，結果服了藥後，毒素反而被迫滯留體內。」每一次講座，他都會講這個笑話：「女孩子最幸福，你知道為什麼嗎？因為子宮是身體最大的排毒器官，每個月一次的出血，將不少積存的毒素帶走。男孩子可慘了，沒有這個特殊通道，滯留的毒素惟有走上頭頂，於是得頂上光溜溜的。」真相，往往是笑中有淚的。

梅醫師防癌四部曲：

1.改變生活型態，不吃不該吃的東西（高鹽、高油、高蛋白質的素食，也屬不該吃）。
2.吃對東西，四低一高食物（即低鹽、低糖、低脂肪、低蛋白質和高纖維）。
3.了解生命意義，啟動康復力。
4.邁向健康之路，坦然接受排毒。

午睡有美容之用

2010-04-04T03:20:00.000-07:00

睡眠專家發出警訊，長期睡眠不足可能使人變「笨」。

研究人員指出，每晚比正常睡眠時間少睡一小時可能令一個人的智商暫時性降低一個商數，一周累計下來可令智商降至一百，瀕臨弱智。

睡眠時間因人而異，但一般而言，每個人平均一天須八小時睡眠。

最新的研究顯示，當人睡眠不足他們會累積所謂的「睡眠債」，就算每天只少睡一個小時，連續八天下來，你仍會感到有如整晚熬夜一樣睏倦。

史丹福大學睡眠研究專家﹛積欠龐大睡眠債會削弱人的智力和運動功能，讓人變得反應遲鈍，數學計算容易出錯，健忘，簡而言之，就是會令你變「笨」。

狄曼說，與睡眠爭時可能讓你付出相當代價，他舉例一名女性患者因為實在太睏，竟迷迷糊糊地把髒盤誤丟進乾衣機，直到聽到碗盤碎裂的聲響時才猛然醒覺。

另外一名患者大排長龍才買到球賽的入場卷，但球賽開始沒多久，他就累在座位上睡著，直到球賽結束才醒過來。

有午睡習慣的人比較不會老, 歐美人士有所謂的下午茶時間以為恢復精神, 多數老外一到下午就猛喝咖啡。推究其因乃沒有午睡習慣而不得不靠咖啡提神，情況有如台灣運將長途行駛吃檳榔一樣。

中午睡一小時等於晚上睡三小時，如果平均一天需八小時睡眠。午睡一小時則夜間只需睡五個小時足矣。西方人不知午睡的妙用，常笑我們是東亞病夫，

無論男女都比同年紀的中國人明顯的蒼老許多，關鍵全在午睡有無。西方人因為老得快，所以化妝品特別發達，舉凡仕女牌化妝品都來自歐美，儘管面部修飾如何高超，像影集朝代中的瓊考琳絲雖已年高六十，化妝後宛若婦，卻無法遮掩特有的火雞頸，一下子就讓人看穿年紀，皮膚出現皺紋及鬢髮變白都是老化的表徵。

據信和人體內疲勞物質有關，睡眠的作用即是除去此疲勞物質，大凡從事重勞動者比同齡的白領階級無不顯得特別蒼老可作為佐證，疲勞物質會造成血液循環障礙，所以只要血液循環順暢就可對付衰老，老人生病臥床過久，探視者會發現病人一頭烏髮頓時變白，就是因為缺乏運動使血液循環衰退所致，女人一生中睡眠平均比男人多一小時，此多出之一小時即專屬美容之用。

所以，朋友們別再熬夜了趁年輕要好好保養自已的身體！

每天一定要睡足八個小時, 儘量抽時間睡午覺一個小時, 晚上只要睡五個小時便可, 這樣不但可以讓自已健康也善用時間, 何樂而不為?

醫生建議：晚上10:00pm 前最好上床休息，中午盡可能睡半小時到一小時的午覺(午睡1小時抵過晚上睡3小時），年輕人一天至少要睡足八小時！

Kidneys Cleanser- Parsley

2010-01-30T02:19:00.001-08:00

Years pass by and our kidneys are filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted entering our body. With time, the salt accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning treatments.

How are we going to do this?

It is very easy, first take a bunch of parsley and wash it clean. Then cut it in small pieces and put it in a pot and pour clean water and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it and pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool.

Drink one glass daily and you will notice all salt and other accumulated poison coming out of your kidney by urination. Also you will be able to notice the difference which you never felt before.

Parsley is known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys and it is natural!

Squat Toilet vs Sit-down Toilet (Sanitary)

2009-12-18T20:37:00.000-08:00

It has been an issue to find a clean toilet for ladies who need to attend to the nature's call especially in suburban area. The scenario has become worsen as the modern public washrooms are installed with sit-down toilets instead of the old days squat toilets.

Personally, I found that the squat toilets are more sanitary than their seated counterparts as the buttocks need not come into actual contact with the toilet and may aid in preventing hemorrhoids and other diseases.

No doubt that sit-down toilet is more comfortable and is more suitable for the old folks as compared to the squat toilet.

In Malaysia, you can easily find that most of the toilet seats at public washrooms are splashed with urine (yellow stained) and some users even squat on it. With these facts, I believe it is a need for the related authorities to installed both sit-down toilets and squat toilets in public restrooms.

What do you think? Please response to the poll at the sidebar entitled "Squat Toilet or Sit-down Toilet", who knows if the poll result can help in convincing the related authorities to restore the squat toilets for public convenience.

抗癌名醫吳永志的10大健康觀

2009-12-06T20:35:00.000-08:00

1.不要只想尋求快速方法痊癒

現代人追求快速的生活，用泡麵解決一頓飯，用止痛藥即時消除頭痛，一有感冒症狀就吃強效的感冒藥來制伏感冒，想打瞌睡就立刻喝杯咖啡來提振精神。但慢性病並非說來就來，處於生活忙碌的我們長期忽略身體發出的求救訊號，只想用最快速的方法去強制、壓抑這些警訊，最終讓身體健康惡化，走向一發不可收拾的地步。

如果我們不願意找出疲勞的原因，抱著逃避的心態，用一天數杯咖啡不斷讓腦袋清醒，將會導致失眠、腎臟病變、骨質疏鬆和膀胱癌等後果。所以當身體再次發出警告的訊號如頭痛、頭暈、耳鳴、眼皮跳、關節疼痛、胸痛、背痛、胃酸倒流等，請不要忽略它，要找出原因，嘗試吃對的食物，並認真執行，約三到四個月後，這些症狀都將消失並被根治。

2.不要太依賴藥物，體內自有一套防衛武器

應建立身體有自癒力的信念我們很多人一生病，就趕緊找醫生開藥治病，要知道：藥物治標不治本，只有體內的自癒系統才能真正根治我們身體的疾病。

我們身體內有一副完整的防衛武器──免疫系統，會將外侵的細菌、病毒、黴菌等，將以阻擋、消滅；而精密的自癒系統則能修補和治癒一切病痛。例如感冒時，吃下的感冒藥雖然會將入侵的感冒細菌消滅，讓免疫系統不用全體動員就打贏勝仗，但如此一來，免疫系統的軍隊就無法得到完整的作戰經驗，這將使得敵軍有機可乘，輕易的越過防線，入侵我們的身體。

3.午餐才是一天中最重要的一餐

很多人以為早餐是一天中最重要的一餐，這觀念其實並不正確，以身體的生理時鐘來說，午餐時間是身體吸收營養的時間，所以午餐才是一天中最重要的一餐。

4.睡眠休息時，最好關掉房間內的燈光

在美國實驗中，當一個人在晚上十點到凌晨二點的時間內，完全睡著了，房間的燈卻開的亮晃晃，經過醫療儀器的檢測，自癒系統修補的工作幾乎等於零，而免疫系統的工作也下降至最低點。

所以說我們想要消除疲勞，得到身體的健康，千萬不可支用身體的修補時間；只要過了十點到凌晨二點還沒熟睡，就算睡眠的時間再長，得到的修補和修復也只有一點點，被破壞的細胞還是無法被修補回來，而入侵的敵人也有機會在身體內紮根。

5.你的血型決定吃什麼最健康。

血型與人體的免疫和自癒系統可說息息相關。根據醫學統計證實，血型和疾病間，有著密不可分的關聯。 A 型血型應避免食用奶製品和肉類； O 型血型不建議長期吃素；B型血型不適合吃雞肉；AB型血型盡量避免吃雞肉、牛肉。

6.不要害怕曬太陽，多去接觸陽光。

陽光的好處多，為什麼現代人這麼怕曬太陽，外出前一定要塗上一層防曬乳液才敢出門？那是因為太多的宣傳告訴我們防曬的重要，但大家卻忽略了，在皮膚上塗抹防曬乳液，雖然能使紫外線不能到達皮膚底層，卻反而帶來更大的風險，那就是罹患皮膚癌的機率升高。

7.遠離加工食品，才能避免現代人的甲狀腺問題

突然地心跳加快、感覺焦慮、容易緊張、手抖、體重下降等，這些都是甲狀腺亢進的典型症狀。不過，甲狀腺的問題，並不一定有明顯的症狀，因此現代人常不自覺。壓力可能是誘發的因素之一，身體長期累積過量的加工食品，也是兇手之一。

8.不要輕易丟掉蔬果的表皮、果核和種子，那才是真正具有抗癌的成分

例如花椰菜，我們都以為花椰菜的營養在花椰上，因此做菜的時候，就把最粗的菜莖切除掉，但真正具有抗癌成分，能提升免疫力和自癒力的植物生化素，卻多在最粗的菜莖表皮裡面。

還有像蘋果的植物生化素就存在於果皮下、蘋果心和種子內。

9.不要總是大口大口的喝水

喝水的方式，很重要，一定要小口小口慢慢地喝，讓身體細胞有充足的時間吸收水分子。否則大口喝水只會使細胞來不及吸收，就全部跟隨尿液流失了。

10.要留住骨骼，豆漿、蔬果比牛奶好

有些牧場為了不使牛群生病，以及為了刺激更高的牛乳產量，大量對牛隻使用抗生素、生長激素等荷爾蒙。新的研究也發現，殘留在牛奶中的抗生素與荷爾蒙含量驚人，已嚴重影響人類健康。

2001年哈佛大學發表11年的追蹤報告卻指出，每天食用超過 2.5份乳製品（一份＝240c.c.牛奶），比每天食用少於或等於0.5份乳製品的人，多上34％罹患攝護腺癌的機會。

Stroke (Blood Clots)- The Fourth Indicator- Tongue

2009-11-24T06:11:00.000-08:00

Stroke Identification

During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics). She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes.

They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food. While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening

Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

Recognizing a Stroke

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently)
(e. g. It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke- Stick out Your Tongue

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other,that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this information sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

I have done my part. Have you?

Eating fruits the correct way

2009-10-10T04:10:00.000-07:00

We all know that eating fruits is good for health but knowing when and how to eat it will benefit us more.

Fruits should be taken in an empty stomach, not as desserts after meal. This way, the fruits eaten will play a major role to detoxify our system, supplying us with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other activities.

If you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit, the fruit will digest faster than the bread and is ready to go straight through the stomach into intestines but the passage is blocked by the bread, which is harder to digest.

While this happens, the whole meal ferments and turns to acid. Consequently when the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juice, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

馬鈴薯、紅蘿蔔、蘋果三合一鮮汁療法

2009-09-13T03:59:00.000-07:00

日本禪宗高僧富澤知芳大師，提個馬鈴薯鮮汁療法，有顯著的神奇藥效。

馬鈴薯、紅蘿蔔、蘋果三合一鮮汁的功效：
一、防治癌症，抑制癌細胞生長
二、防治肝臟病、腎臟病、胰臟病、胃潰瘍。
三、防治非典型肺炎、心臟病、高血壓。
四、恢復體力，增強體質，提高免疫和自癒能力。
五、恢復眼睛疲勝，消除眼睛乾燥，令雙眼亮麗。
六、治癒腰痛、肩膀痛、膝痛。
七、排除體內毒素，美容顏潤皮膚、治肥胖。
八、根治便秘，痔瘡，根治口臭、胃酸、減低月經痛。

特點：
沒有任何副作用，高營養健康食品，迅速吸收和排毒，令食慾增加，
補氣恢復體力。

材料：
新鮮馬鈴薯（即薯仔）、紅蘿蔔、蘋果各一個。
每個各重約一百五十克至二百克。
榨汁，即榨即飲，切勿存放。

注意：
馬鈴薯發芽處要切除，以免中毒。
新鮮果汁宜清晨空腹飲用。

重症患者，每天下午五時空腹時再飲一次。
飲用後約一小時才可以進食早、晚餐，以免胃液被稀釋，影響消化力。
必須天天飲用不間斷，輕症三週見效。重症三個月見效。

有效病來：
一、二十年口臭頑疾根治
彭先生四十五歲，二十年來口異臭，給社交帶來極大煩惱，中西醫治療無效，去年經親友熱心推介服用新鮮果汁，當時半信半疑試一試，每天清早空腹飲五百C.C.，二個月後口臭完全清除，人變得自信了，新鮮果汁的神奇功效令他佩服，喜不自禁地再三感謝向他推介的親友，解除了他二十年來的苦惱。

二肺癌得以控制
丁先生耳下生一個腫瘤，被診斷是末期癌細胞，用放射療法之後，癌細胞轉移到肺部，成為肺癌，被宣告已經是到了無法治療的階段。
丁先生以積極的態度，回到家裡實行鮮汁療法。
目前已經控制住癌細胞的蔓延，體力漸漸恢復，而且幾乎可以回到工作崗位。

三、肝炎、花粉症、濕疹
須女士六十八歲，患慢性肝炎、花粉症、濕疹。醫生分析，肝炎惡化，會使食道、胃腸易患癌症。
須女士的父親、叔父、叔母和姐姐都因癌症而去世，她很擔心自己也會得癌症。
承以當她看到馬鈴薯鮮汁對治療癌症有效的文章之後，
就毫不猶豫隨即把馬鈴薯配合蘋果一起榨成鮮果汁，如此更可口易喝，她把鮮汁視為「生命之水」，一回氣就全部喝完了。
不久，奇蹟出現，二個月後檢查：病情穩定」。四個用後檢查：「接近正常」。
除了肝炎顯著改善之外，還有二件值得慶幸的意外收穫：
第一：她長年受花粉症的困擾，今年春天沒有出現這種症狀。
第二：以往手腳一吹到冷風，就會出現紅疹，非常痕癢，又稱濕疹。
今年卻一次也沒有。
這都是飲馬鈴薯鮮汁的功效，體質獲得改善，身體的自癒能力增強承致，須女士現在心情非常愉快。

四、四十年白眼球赤熱，三個月根治
林先生五十八歲，從十七歲開始雙目常赤熱，中醫診斷是「肝經積鬱」，服藥多年無效。西醫診斷說是城市空氣污染承致，最好移居鄉村，但是居住鄉村十幾年，眼未見好轉。由於白眼球長期充血呈紅色，朋友戲稱他外號叫荔枝眼。
去年幸獲讀了三合一新鮮果汁文章之後，每天清早空腹飲五百CC鮮汁，一個月後雙眼明顯好轉，赤熱減退。

三個月後，雙目黑白分明，從此再也沒有赤熱的現象。

五、肝硬化，居然有救
高女士五十九歲，患肝硬化，食道靜脈瘤破裂，大量吐血，皮膚黃疸，臉和手腳浮腫，終日昏昏睡夢中，多次入院施手術，亦曾經嘗試各種療法和健康食品，但因肝臟太差，承以總是無效。突然在一個契機經朋友介紹，聽到馬鈴薯鮮汁對治癌症有很好效果，於是立刻動手做馬鈴薯鮮汁。
材料是馬鈴薯、紅蘿蔔、蘋果、再加三份一的檸檬汁調味，三種一起榨汁即時飲用，一個小時後才吃早餐。

藥瓶中的乾燥劑

藥罐內乾燥劑, 開罐後就該丟了。
台北市和信醫院藥劑科組長姜紹青答覆、黃筱珮採訪。

問：網路上有一則消息說：根據美國國家藥典（USP）規定，藥品一旦開罐，罐內所附的棉花和乾燥劑，就必須立刻丟棄，否則它們會因吸附水氣，成為藥罐內的一項污染源！我從未聽聞這項「常識」，還以為乾燥劑可以繼續保持藥品乾燥，請問這個說法是正確的嗎？

答：是的，藥罐內的棉花和乾燥劑，在開罐後就必須立刻丟棄，否則可能吸附水氣，讓水氣留在藥罐內，反而容易使藥品潮濕變質，而國人對這個常識相當缺乏。

藥罐未開封前，放置棉花的用意有二，一是避免運送過程的碰撞，讓藥品粉化，二是阻止水氣進入；乾燥劑則是防止若有少量水氣進入藥罐時，可將其吸附。但藥罐一旦開封，這兩個「幫手」反而會變成吸附水氣的「凶手」，最好把它們丟掉，別繼續放在藥罐裡。

藥品怕光照、潮濕、高溫，一旦開封後，最好能夠放在乾燥箱內，是最理想的保存方式。最忌諱放在浴室、廚房等地方，這些潮濕的場所容易使藥品壞得快。有些民眾喜歡把藥品冰在冰箱內，不過，除非是強調需要冷藏的特殊藥品，因一旦拿出來服用，忘了放回去，更容易潮濕。

還要提醒的是，藥品開封後最好盡速服用，不要長期存放。要注意的是，藥罐上標示的保存期限是「未開封」狀態下的期限，一旦開封後，保存期限就會縮短；因此，吃不完的藥別因為怕浪費而留下來，因為吃了變質藥品不但不會治病，還可能傷身。

根據美國國家藥典 USP）規定，藥品一旦開罐，罐內所附的棉花和乾燥劑，就必須立刻丟棄，否則它們會因吸附水氣，成為藥罐內的一項汙染源！

Mammograms vs Thermography

2009-07-18T03:55:00.000-07:00

Is it any wonder that nowadays more and more women globally are having Breast Cancer. The coincidence is, more and more organisations, doctors and government hospitals are pushing women to go for mammograms.

Please be aware of the consequences of Mammograms

Well for starters mammograms expose your body to radiation that can be 1,000 times greater than that from a chest x-ray,which poses risks of cancer. Mammography also compresses your breasts tightly, and often painfully, which could lead to a lethal spread of cancerous cells, should they exist.

"The premenopausal breast is highly sensitive to radiation, each 1 radiation exposure increasing

breast cancer risk by about 1 percent, with a cumulative 10 percent increased risk for each breast over a decade's screening," points out Dr. Samuel Epstein, one of the top cancer experts.

Dr. Epstein, M.D., professor emeritus of Environmental and Occupational Medicine at theUniversity of Illinois School of Public Health , and chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition,has been speaking out about the risks of mammography since at least 1992.

As for how these misguided mammography guidelines came about, Epstein says:

"They were conscious, chosen, politically expedient acts by a small group of people for the sake of their own power, prestige and financial gain, resulting in suffering and death for millions of women... They fit the classification of "crimes against humanity.""

Not surprisingly, as often happens when anyone dares speak out against those in power, both the American Cancer Society and NCI called Dr. Epstein's findings "unethical and invalid."

But this didn't stop others from speaking out as well. In July 1995, The Lancet again wrote about mammograms, saying "The benefit is marginal, the harm caused is substantial, and the costs incurred are enormous ..."

Dr. Charles B. Simone, a former clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the National Cancer Institute, said, "Mammograms increase the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the risk of spreading or metastasizing an existing growth."

"The high sensitivity of the breast, especially in young women, to radiation-induced cancer was
known by 1970. Nevertheless, the establishment then screened some 300,000 women with X ray dosages so high as to increase breast cancer risk by up to 20 percent in women aged 40 to 50 who were mammogramed annually," wrote Dr. Epstein.
Safe Screening Methods do Exist: The Benefits of Thermography

But you're not likely to hear about them from your general practitioner.

" ... The establishment ignores safe and effective alternatives to mammography, particularly trans illumination with infrared scanning,"

Dr. Epstein points out. Most physicians continue to recommend mammograms for fear of being

sued by a woman who develops breast cancer after which he did not advise her to get one. But I encourage you to think for yourself and consider safer, more effective alternatives to mammograms.

The option for breast screening that I most highly recommend is called thermography.

Thermographic breast screening is brilliantly simple. It measures the radiation of infrared heat from your body and translates this information into anatomical images. Your normal blood circulation is under the control of your autonomic nervous system, which governs your body functions.

Thermography uses no mechanical pressure or ionizing radiation, and can detect signs of breast cancer years earlier than either mammography or a physical exam.

Mammography cannot detect a tumor until after it has been growing for years and reaches a certain size.

Thermography is able to detect the possibility of breast cancer much earlier, because it can image the early stages of angiogenesis (the formation of a direct supply of blood to cancer cells, which is a necessary step before they can grow into tumors of size).

子宮肌瘤

2009-06-30T15:28:00.000-07:00

減肥是女性終生事業，任何體形任何年紀都嚷着要減肥，而最令人討厭的，是任女士如何努力，某些部位的肥肉總是如影隨形，永不肯消失，其中最常見的，就是減不走的小肚腩！三十一歲的Amy，為了減走贅肉，一星期三次到健身室操練，在日子有功下，近半年大部分贅肉已消失，但小腹仍然隆起，像有了四個月身孕。

婦產專科阮邦武醫生說，患腫瘤而同時有肚腩是頗常見的事。真肚腩躺下時應扁平，如仍凸起，就要提高警覺。

這「四個月身孕」的小肚腩，一直陪伴Amy經年，只是未減肥前，小肚腩在略胖身形掩飾下，也不太明顯，到最近半年她開始瘦下來，小肚腩愈見凸現，愈見礙眼。「和我一起做gym的同伴都忍不住說：『你的肚腩真的好凸啊！』」

雖然不下幾次聽過這樣的說話，但她仍然沒有意識到有任何不妥，直至今年一月某天，她在健身室狂操一輪，悠閒地在休息室閱報之際，偶然從一本女性雜誌的健康專欄中，讀到一篇有關女性減不掉小肚腩的文章，「那篇文章指，女性有肚腩不一定是肥胖造成，無法減掉的小肚腩，未必真是肚腩，有機會是子宮生了瘤！」Amy說。

被那篇報道一言驚醒，回家後，Amy向同是有肚腩的母親查問，問自己的肚腩是否凸得離奇，母親打量後點頭稱是。Amy之後又伸手摸摸母親的肚腩，發覺按下時手感是軟軟的，而她自己的卻是「堅實」的！

最後兩母女再做「臨牀檢查」，「媽媽躺在牀上，肚腩立即扁了，但我躺下後，肚腩仍然凸出⋯⋯」
減肥是女性終生事業，如做極運動，肚腩仍不滅，就有機會是另有原因。

子宮　女性寶庫

經多番檢視及研究，Amy立刻做了明智決定，馬上在朋友介紹下見醫生，並安排入院檢查，包括超聲波掃描、電腦掃描及抽血檢驗等，結果發現子宮內有一個碩大巨瘤——「醫生話個瘤好大，成十幾厘米，那個巨瘤已經壓住腎臟及輸尿管，他問我有否經常覺得尿急，我說沒有，而且一直未有半點不適⋯⋯醫生就說，我要盡快做手術切走巨瘤，否則壓壞腎臟就無法挽救！」

最令她驚慌的是，這位醫生一開始便明言，她很大機會要將整個子宮切除！

「我當時反問：『不可以只切瘤嗎？』」Amy向記者憶述。醫生向她解釋，從各種超聲波及電腦掃描圖片中都無法百分百確定情況，只知道巨瘤在子宮後方，到底是否可以只切走子宮瘤而保留子宮，還是要做全子宮切除，目前無法確定，但就提醒，她需要切走整個子宮的機會很大。
由於Amy的子宮肌瘤體積大及位於子宮後方，故採用微創手術切除時難度較高，需要時間亦較長。

為保子宮　尋求良方

在不知子宮內的巨瘤是良性還是惡性的陰霾濃罩下，Amy和家人都很擔心，母親就勸她盡快處理這個巨瘤，千萬別為了保留子宮而誤了診治良機！

她出院後不斷問自己，她的子宮真的無法保留嗎？日後找到合適對象談婚論嫁時，對方知道自己是個不能生育的女性時會嫌棄她嗎？

為了拯救它，Amy再向另一位資深婦產科醫生尋求意見，對方在全子宮切除術以外，提供了其他方案，包括堵塞輸送血液到子宮瘤的血管，阻止它再生長，然後才切除；另一個可行方法，是高能量聚焦超聲波，只需隔着肚皮照射，不用開刀，可以將瘤縮小。」

聽到毋須開刀的治療方法，Amy彷彿遇見曙光，馬上叫醫生轉介。

一般超聲波檢查已能檢視子宮是否有病變。

正常的子宮長約八厘米，只如小啤梨大小。超聲波圖片中，Amy的子宮肌瘤達十七厘米長。

超大肌瘤　似有身孕

今年三月，她往見養和醫院婦產專科阮邦武醫生，經研究病情及細心評估後，她無創滅巨瘤的希望幻滅。

阮邦武醫生說，Amy的下腹明顯脹起，而經超聲波檢查後，發現子宮後方子宮壁有一個子宮肌瘤，長度達十七厘米，闊十四厘米，深十三厘米，「她子宮頂部已頂到上肚臍位置，它的脹大情況，像一個懷有二十二周，即五個月大嬰兒的子宮一樣！」

幸好，Amy的子宮除了這個碩大腫瘤外，基本上沒有其他病變。「這種巨型腫瘤，會否是惡性瘤？」Amy問。

阮醫生說，子宮肌瘤屬癌的機會率好低，少於0.5%。是否需要抽組織檢驗，以確定性質呢？「子宮肌瘤一般不會做抽組織化驗，因為根據病理學，子宮肌瘤絕大部分是良性；況且這個瘤如此巨大，要抽哪些部分才能驗得清楚呢？所以最安全還是全個瘤切走再做切片化驗。」

生長速度極快的肌瘤，會否有較高機會是癌？「以前的確有此懷疑，但現在發現大得快的肌瘤，和一般肌瘤屬癌的機會，基本上沒有分別，都是約0.2%。」阮醫生解釋，但婦女如果已達更年期又出現腫瘤，這類便要小心，因為屬癌變的機會相對較高。

無創的聚焦超聲波可以縮小子宮肌瘤，以減輕症狀，但不適用於大肌瘤。

無創對付　滅瘤無望

在了解過自己的情況後，Amy最關心的當然是可以用甚麼方法消除巨瘤，無創的聚焦超聲波可行嗎？

阮醫生向她解釋，聚焦超聲波只可以將瘤縮小，但她的瘤實在太大，就算超聲波有效將它的體積縮小三分之一，剩下的三分之二仍然屬很大體積。而且聚焦超聲波主要針對引起病徵的子宮肌瘤，希望縮小肌瘤後病徵能改善，但Amy不屬於此類。同樣截斷子宮肌瘤血流，目標亦只是縮小腫瘤改善症狀，所以放在Amy面前的，其實只有一個選擇，就是接受手術切除。

手術是可以接受的，但Amy最難以接受的是切除全個子宮。幸好這一次醫生給她的治療建議，沒有令她失望。「醫生向我說，研究過個瘤大小及位置後，應該可以只切走個瘤，不用切走全個子宮，但亦有機會剖開後發現情況不許可，最後要切走全個子宮也不定，不過這機會好微！」Amy向記者說。

一般女性的子宮只有8×5× 2.5厘米（長×闊×厚），大小如一個小啤梨，約重八十克，Amy的子宮卻有一個十七厘米大的子宮肌瘤，像西瓜般大，到底手術時有幾大難度？
一直不知患子宮肌瘤的Amy，在醫生細心查問下，才記起經期流量頗多，差不多一至兩小時便要換衞生巾。

微創切除　難度極高

「這種大肌瘤，手術時最大的擔心是會因無法止血而需要割走整個子宮，但綜合外國及香港數字，因進行子宮肌瘤切除手術而最後要整個子宮切走的機會率只是2%。這2%，包括肌瘤過於巨大，或有多個肌瘤。」

知道有很大機會可以保留子宮後，Amy下一個擔心，是可否不開腹，用微創完成切除手術？阮醫生回覆，理論上可以，但子宮肌瘤愈大，成功率相對愈細。

原來要切走Amy的碩大肌瘤，難度相當高。阮醫生解釋，一般微創手術，在肚臍開切口放入內視鏡，小腹兩旁再開兩個小切口置入手術儀器，但她肚臍下已完全被肌瘤佔據，故三個切口都要向上移，爭取空間。而肌瘤位置是子宮後方，手術空間狹窄，要利用如筷子般長而細小的腹腔鏡手術儀器來剝離巨大的腫瘤，其難度可想而知。肌瘤剝離後盡快用縫線把子宮修補和止血，若子宮修補不好，日後懷孕時子宮破裂的風險便會增加，最後是利用組織粉碎器把肌瘤切小取出，完成手術。由於肌瘤巨大，手術時間會比開腹為長。

如正式進行手術時無法順利切除肌瘤，最後有機會採取開腹手術，病人會留下三個微創及一個剖腹切口。

了解過手術詳情及風險後，Amy決定採用微創切除。三月十三日在全身麻醉下接受微創子宮肌瘤切除手術，過程順利，手術在三小時內完成。事後巨瘤上磅，發覺重達九百四十四克，足足兩磅重！Amy頑固的小肚腩亦即時消失。

肚腩變化　提高警覺

子宮肌瘤十分常見，每三至四位女士中，就有一名患子宮肌瘤，只是大部分患者沒有病徵，故一直未發現。

「其實阮醫生詳細查問後，我才找到一點頭緒，我來經時，第一天的流量頗多，幾乎每隔一兩小時便要換一次衞生巾，只是我沒有和其他人比較，還以為這是正常！」Amy向記者說。

而經歷過這次巨瘤經驗，Amy會更小心留意自己的身體變化，及定期做婦科檢查！

阮醫生亦提醒女士應提高警覺，患腫瘤而同時有肚腩是頗常見，故女士應多留意自己腹部變化，「真肚腩是鬆的，子宮肌瘤是實的，如摸下時覺得硬，就要提高警覺去見醫生檢查清楚！」
除了常見的子宮肌瘤，實卜卜的小肚腩可能藏着卵巢腫瘤或囊腫，亦有機會是畸胎瘤，所以婦女一定要認真對待自己的小肚腩，千萬別掉以輕心。

What makes dry eyes worse?

2009-06-26T05:54:00.000-07:00

“Patients with dry eyes may complain of anything from irritation, itching, and burning to blurred vision and even excessive tearing.”

Symptoms tend to increase from morning to evening; i.e. the longer the person wears the lenses throughout the day; the more likely he or she is to have dry eyes complaints. Dry eyes can also be made worse by: windy weather, which dries out the eyes further, tobacco smoke; low humidity; air-conditioning or when you blink less often. Medications such as anti-histamines, anti-depressants, sleeping bills, diuretics or beta-blockers decrease tear production and may aggravate symptoms.

十穀米, 預防癌症的食物

2009-06-24T15:31:00.000-07:00

去年夏天的一個半夜，劉哲豪和往常一樣上夜班時，肚子突然絞痛，而且排出大量鮮血，讓他差點暈倒。

緊急送往三總急診，
醫師告訴他是「直腸癌末期併肝轉移」。

他開始接受治療，
腸子切了十幾公分，前後開了四次刀，
足足有七、八個月不能工作。

在化療之後，臉與手腳全部變黑浮腫，
連走路都有困難。

「醫師說我這種病起碼要二十年才能形成，
冰凍三尺非一日之寒。

我回想過去二十年，發現自己雖然滴酒不沾，
卻超愛吃消夜，幾乎天天都吃，
而且偏愛碳烤的東西，
凡是天上飛的、地上爬的、海裡游的，
我都喜歡吃，三餐沒有海鮮就吃不下，
蝦子可以一次吃半斤一斤。

經常半夜吃得漲漲的回家，
看到大家都睡了，也倒頭就睡。
這樣的日子過了十七、八年。」
劉哲豪回憶說。

痛定思痛，他決定在吃的方面「痛改前非」，
不該吃的不再吃，過去吃錯的，全部調整過來。

他開始自己找資料，看書看報上網，
最後斷定自己是吃了太多酸性物質，
要讓身體健康，
必須調整到鹼性佔七分，酸性佔三分。

他為自己擬了菜單，主食改吃十殼米，
就是把糙米、黑糯米、小米、小麥、蕎麥、
芡實、燕麥、蓮子、麥片、紅薏仁
熬煮在一起，
魚不吃，肉只吃一點點，
蔬菜水果大量吃，飯後喝綠茶。
連吃兩個禮拜之後，
他就發現自己體力變好了。

後來他又增加了健康食品，
包括蜂王乳、蜂膠、啤酒酵母、綠藻等，
人更精神了，臉上手上的黑色素慢慢褪去，
腳也不腫了，「連頭髮都變黑」。

恢復上班之後，
同事們都說看不出來他曾經大病一場，
許多人也學著吃十穀米，
有人多年嘴角破皮的毛病竟自然痊癒，
有人解決了陳年疑難雜症。

劉哲豪說，他其實到現在還沒有康復，
只是學會與癌共存，用最適當的飲食，
讓身體保持最佳狀況。

有時候，他會抽空探視一些與自己同病相憐的癌症患者，
每個原本滿臉愁雲慘霧者，聽到他的心得報告後，
都跟著調整飲食，
「我這套提供給他們吃，每個人都有效。」他說。

「不要每天就想著自己是癌症，
我有個朋友的太太得了乳癌，
本來沒什麼，但她天天憂慮，
結果一年就死了。

病本無害，是心裡做怪，
路就走盡了。
要把病當做一種挑戰，
儘量調整自己去面對挑戰。」

一場致命大病，
劉哲豪似乎鍛鍊出獨特的意志力，
也有一套豁達的生命觀。

在抗癌過程中，妻子耐心照顧陪伴他，
他改吃健康餐，太太也跟著吃，
「她臉上原本有遺傳性黑斑，
現在通通沒有了，人變得漂亮又有精神。」

大陸少林寺果林老和尚，
現年一百零三歲，仙風道骨。
精神钁鑠，聲若洪鐘，健步如飛，
貌似六十開外。

有人求長壽之道，師父說：
「每日一碗十穀健康粥」。
果林老和尚將秘方傳予徐上德醫師。

有一弱女子，被宣布罹患鼻咽癌，
其母每日親熬十穀健康粥，癌症竟奇蹟似地縮小，
癌症指數降為正常，
主治醫師直呼不可能，問其吃何種藥物，
其母說：「皆因十穀健康粥遠勝藥物。」

唐琪小姐現年五十歲，
每天一碗十穀健康粥，
看起來像三十歲，青春、健康、美麗。

健保局總經理賴美淑醫師每天吃十穀健康粥，
永保工作活力。（見聯合報報導）

材料：
糙米、黑糯米、小米、小麥、蕎麥、
芡實、燕麥、蓮子、麥片和紅薏仁
等分量混合而成。

以上十種，可同時煮熟。

作法１：

晚上時，將十穀米一杯用水洗淨，
加水七杯，
放入悶燒鍋內鍋中燒開再煮十五分鐘，
放入外鍋中加蓋，

翌日早晨上班前即可食用。
可多煮一點，供三四天食用。

作法２：
晚上時，將十穀米三杯泡水４小時，
放入電鍋中，再加水５杯煮成乾飯，
待冷卻後，放入冰箱。
翌日早晨上班前，
取酌量加水四杯煮成稀飯。

備註：小孩子若因口感不喜歡吃時，可加入幾粒龍眼乾或葡萄乾。

若不加糖進食時，可加茶葉蛋一個，
風味絕佳，記憶超強，功課一級棒。

成份：
十穀健康米，據科學分析其成份有一百多種有益人體健康的物質，
如維生素Ｂ群（Ｂ１，Ｂ２，Ｂ６，Ｂ９，Ｂ１２）、Ｃ、Ａ、Ｅ、Ｋ、Ｄ，
礦物質（鈣、鐵、鎂、鉀），
微量元素（鋅、鉬、錳、鍺），
酵素，抗氧化物、纖維素、氨基酸、生物素，
具有降血壓，降膽固醇，清除血栓，舒緩神經之功用，
對便秘、高血壓、皮膚病、闌尾炎、失眠、口角炎效果不亞於醫藥，
最重要的是沒有副作用。

徐醫師：白米因除去糖麩及胚芽，僅剩碳水化合物，
只提供熱量，營養價值遠低於十穀米。

要健康長壽，每天要吃多種類食物，以補充每日新陳代謝所需之酵素。
多吃十穀米，可預防血管硬化、腦中風、痛風、心肌梗塞、癌症等現代文明病。

Ikan Pangas (Dory Fish) from Mekong River, Vietnam

2009-06-23T15:22:00.000-07:00

Do you eat this frozen fish called Pangas ? ( Pangasius, Vietnamese Rver Cobbler, White Catfish, Gray Sole )

It is Industrially farmed in Vietnam along the Mekong River , Pangas or whatever they're calling it, has only been recently introduced to the French market. However, in a very short amount of time, it has grown in popularity in France . The French are slurping up Pangas like it's their last meal of soup noodles. They are very, very affordable (cheap), are sold in filets with no bones and they have a neutral (bland) flavor and texture; many would compare it to cod and sole, only much cheaper. But as tasty as some people may find it, there's, in fact, something hugely unsavory about it. I hope the information provided here will serve as very important information for you and your future choices. Here's why I think it is better left in the shops (and not on your dinner plates).

1. Pangas are teeming with high levels of poisons and bacteria (Industrial effluents, arsenic, and toxic and hazardous by-products of the growing industrial sector, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), metal contaminants, chlordane-related compounds (CHLs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) ).

The reasons are that the Mekong River is one of the most polluted rivers on the planet and this is where pangas are farmed and industries along the river dump chemicals and industrial waste directly into it. To note: a friend lab tests these fish and tells us to avoid eating them due to high amounts of contamination. Regardless of the reports and recommendations against selling them, the supermarkets still sell them to the general public knowing they are contaminated.

2. They freeze Pangas in contaminated river water.

3. Pangas are not environmentally sustainable, a most unsustainable food you could possibly eat - 'Buy local' means creating the least amount of environmental harm as possible. This is the very opposite end of the spectrum of sustainable consumerism. Pangas are raised in Vietnam . Pangas are fed food that comes from Peru ( more on that below ), their hormones ( which are injected into the female Pangas ) come from China . ( More about that below ) and finally, they are transported from Vietnam to France . That's not just a giant carbon foot print, that's a carbon continent of a foot print.

4. There's nothing natural about Pangas - They're fed dead fish remnants and bones, dried and ground into a flour, from South America , manioc (cassava) and residue from soy and grains. This kind of nourishment doesn't even remotely resemble what they eat in nature. But what it does resemble is the method of feeding mad cows (cows were fed cows, remember?). What they feed pangas is completely unregulated so there are most likely other dangerous substances and hormones thrown into the mix. The pangas grow at a speed light ( practically! ) : 4 times faster than in nature Kso it makes you wonder what exactly is in their food? Your guess is as good as mine.

5. Pangas are injected with hormones derived from urine. I don't know how someone came up with this one out but they've discovered that if they inject female Pangas with hormones made from the dehydrated urine of pregnant women, the female Pangas grow much quicker and produce eggs faster (one Panga can lay approximately 500,000 eggs at one time). Essentially, they're injecting fish with hormones (they come all of the way from a pharmaceutical company in China) to speed up the process of growth and reproduction. That isn't good. Some of you might not mind eating fish injected with dehydrated pee, so if you don't, good for you, but just consider the rest of the reasons to NOT eat it.

6. Don't be lured in by insanely cheap price of Pangas. Is it worth risking your health and the health of your family?

7. Buying Pangas supports unscrupulous, greedy evil corporations and food conglomerates that don't care about the health and well-being of human beings. They only are concerned about selling as many pangas as possible to unsuspecting consumers. These corporations only care about selling and making more money at whatever cost to the public.

8. Pangas will make you sick- If (for reasons in no.1 above) you don't get immediately ill with vomiting, diarrhea and effects from severe food poisoning, congratulations, you have an iron stomach! But you're still ingesting POISON not poisson.

Final important note: Because of the prodigious amount of availability of Pangas, be warned that they will certainly find their way into other foods: surimi (those pressed fish things, imitation crab sticks), fish sticks, fish terrines, and probably in some pet foods.

Marco's comment:
One way to prevent ourselves from eating these poisoning foods will be say no to frozen meats and sea foods.

吃辣可以抗輻射

2009-06-06T03:32:00.000-07:00

吃辣一族，對抗幅射最勇。喜歡吃辣的人，身體通常比較健康，這是因為辣辣的滋味，可以殺菌，讓身體不容易生病。然而，最新的研究卻發現，紅辣椒、黑胡椒、咖哩、薑黃素等等香辛料，還可以當作抗輻射的保護劑唷！「農業及食品化學期刊」的最新研究報告指出，香辛料能夠保護細胞的DNA不受輻射線的破壞；尤其是對於迦瑪射線的傷害，香辛料的保護可說是最為徹底。

印度研究人員針對各種香辛料進行比較，以了解紅辣椒、黑胡椒、咖哩、薑黃素等各種香辛料預防輻射的保護功效，結果發現，紅辣椒預防輻射的保護功效最為顯著。你也是吃辣一族嗎？腸胃不好的人，可千萬不要隨便吃辣。少少的吃、慢慢的吃，讓身體慢慢習慣辣辣的味道，才能夠讓辣辣的感覺保護自己。

另外，電腦族要常喝味噌湯，或以味噌當沾料，有利輻射線殘留物的排出！味噌含有豐富的B12和某種特別旳酵素，能將身體內的放射線排出體，曾經接受化療或是長期使用電腦的人都應該經常食用。

為什麼常吃宵夜易引起胃癌?

2009-06-06T03:12:00.000-07:00

常吃宵夜易患胃癌日本學者栗田英男教授經多年觀察研究發現，常吃宵夜易引發胃癌。他曾對30-40歲年齡層的人進行飲食狀況的調查，結果發現在胃癌患者中，晚餐時間無規律者佔38.4%，而同年齡層健康人中，晚餐時間不規律者比例較小。

為什麼常吃宵夜易引起胃癌呢？首先，胃黏膜上皮細胞的壽命很短，約2-3天就要更新再生一次。而這一再生修復過程，一般是在夜間胃腸道休息時進行的。如果經常在夜間進餐，胃腸道得不到必要的休息，其黏膜的修復也就不可能順利地進行。

其次，夜間睡眠時吃下的食物長時間停滯在胃中，可促進胃液的大量分泌，對胃黏膜造成刺激，久而久之，易導致胃黏膜糜爛、潰瘍、抵抗力減弱，如果食物中含有致癌物質，例如常吃一些油炸、燒烤、臘製食品，長時間滯留在胃中，更易對胃黏膜造成不良的影響，進而導致胃癌。常吃宵夜不僅易誘發胃癌，還容易引起肥胖、糖尿病等多種其他疾病，所以，這是一種不良飲食習慣，應儘早克服。

Marco's comment:
The consequences of frequent suppers and late dinners shall be similar. Prevent supper and have dinner before 8:00pm for healthier life style.

小時候，著了涼，一流鼻涕，母親就連忙用老薑加黑糖煮成薑湯給我喝。甜甜辣辣的，趁熱大口大口喝下去，再蓋著被子發一場汗，感冒便不藥而癒！我因生產多又密集，一年一個，有一年還生了一對雙包胎，把身體弄壞了。平常經常頭昏眼花，而每個月好朋友來了，頭痛、肚子痛，量又多一拖就是十天半個月。看了許多中西名醫，均束手無策。病看不好，花錢受罪，一氣之下，乾脆不理他了。

後來祖母教我在月經來時，不妨用黑糖和老薑煮水喝喝看，她特別強調多喝無害，黑糖能活血，薑是熱性的食物，在故鄉，婦女做月子都要吃些黑糖。老奶奶的話姑且聽之，月經來時，就猛喝黑糖和老薑煮的薑茶，想不到，小腹慢慢不痛了。好朋友量也少了，當然頭痛也消失了，比吃藥還有效呢！黑糖和老薑不但能治病，在寒冷的冬天喝上一碗，渾身冒汗、舒暢無比，這種偏方花錢少，又無副作用，何妨試試！

黑糖紅豆湯
女性的好朋友黑糖能活血，紅豆能補血，故婦女月經來時或前後吃一些黑糖紅豆湯，會讓經期更順及減少疼痛，比使用藥物控制效果好。這種偏方花錢少又無副作用，不妨試試。

The dangers of shopping carts

2009-05-23T01:13:00.000-07:00

Shopping carts are considered one of the most important tools for shopping in supermarkets. It helps you buy all your household, including your personal supplies, and to transfer those purchases throughout the store and car parking space.

But do you have any idea about the dangers of shopping carts?

A study conducted in South Korea showed unexpected results about the public tools that cause contamination and transfer of bacteria. The study, conducted by the Korean Consumer Protection Board, found that handles of shopping carts in stores are the most polluted with bacteria among the objects that are frequently traded among people, and handles of public toilets are not as bad as expected.

Studies that have been conducted proved that there are 1 million germs on just one shopping cart handle.

Researchers stress that shopping carts handles are one of the most contaminated public surfaces, even dirtier than most public restrooms. The reason? Public restrooms are cleaned and disinfected regularly, but shopping carts are not. In fact, most stores clean their shopping carts only a couple of times each year.

Many consumers don’t realize the degree to which shopping carts have been exposed to bacteria and germs via sources such as meat or poultry, children while sitting in the carts and other consumers’ illnesses.

Did you know that shopping cart handles can harbor ten times more germs than almost anything else you touch during the day? Swabs taken from shopping cart handles have shown germs, viruses, bacteria and body fluids on these plastic handles.

In the meantime, with everyone touching the cart handles and babies being put into the seats, the typical shopping cart is continuously being contaminated and accumulating a startling range of germs and viruses.

To protect your self and baby from getting germs:

1. Wash your hands upon completion of shopping, especially your child’s hand if he was put on the chair of shopping cart.
2.Use anti-bacterial wipes to clean and disinfect the carts’ handles.

Do not light candle in air-conditioned room

2009-05-06T06:05:00.000-07:00

A tragedy that happened by lighting an aromatherapy candle in an air-conditioned room. Read on and share with your love ones this important health information.

Heard of a bad news regarding Charleine, who studied in MSMKL with some of us. She passed away last weekend due to carbon monoxide poisoning. It happened when she lighted an aroma therapeutic candle for the night in a room with air-conditioning on and all windows closed.

Due to lack of oxygen in the room, the burning of the candle cannot fully burned and thus forming dangerous carbon monoxide.

Carbon monoxide will prevent oxygen exchange in the lungs, resulting the person dozing off to state of unconsciousness and eventually passed away in less than 1 hour, depending on the room size.

I am sending this e-mail out to all of you so that you will be aware of such danger when lighting aroma therapeutic candles in any unventilated rooms.

Marco's comment:

Aroma therapeutic has become very popular among our communities. Personally I quite enjoy lighting up such aromatherapy candle in an air-conditioned room while I am trying to relax myself.

I will do this once a while staying in a hotel room. I am skeptical to the chemicals that used to produced such aromatherapy candles, it might just bring more harm than good.

Now, with the above forwarded email, where to me the fact of the Carbon Monoxide that produced due to lack of oxygen is seems to be very valid, I strongly urge all the readers to avoid such practice especially in air-conditioned room.

Painless cholesterol cure works in just 7 days

2009-05-02T19:39:00.000-07:00

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 side effects.

One study found after just 7 days on a diet including avocados, LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglyceride levels dropped by 22 percents.

Meanwhile, HDL (good cholesterol) shot up 11 percents, something most cholesterol lowering drugs won't do.

Marco's comment: Anyone who has included avocados in the diet and found effective is encourage to share their experience by leaving comment.

喝茶不洗杯, 閻王把命催

2009-04-23T06:50:00.000-07:00

This article explains the right way to drink tea. Read on.

中國是茶的故鄉，種茶、制茶、喝茶的歷史更是源遠流長。

我國民間一直流傳著這樣一句諺語：「清晨一杯茶，餓死賣藥人」，可見茶的保健功效非同一般。

同時，我國又有句俗語，「喝茶不洗杯，閻王把命催」。

說的就是，茶雖有益健康，但錯誤的飲茶習慣卻會帶來相反的結果，「不勤洗茶杯」就是最常見的一種。

天津藥物研究院副教授李紅珠告訴《生命時報》記者，沒有喝完或放得時間較長的茶水暴露在空氣中，茶葉中的茶多酚與茶銹中的金屬元素就會發生氧化，形成茶垢，附著在杯子內壁，而「茶垢」就是危害人體健康的罪魁禍首。

因為茶垢中含有鎘、鉛、汞、砷等有毒物質以及亞硝酸鹽等致癌物，這些物質進入人們的消化系統，與食物中的蛋白質、脂肪酸、維生素等相結合，不僅阻礙了人體對這些營養素的吸收和消化，還會使腸胃等器官受到損害。此外，經常不清洗的茶杯，還留有更多水垢，其中也含有大量的重金屬，對健康極為不利。

因此建議，每次喝完茶後，即使杯子沒有茶漬，也要認真清洗一下。

清除體內毒素的方法

2009-04-17T17:50:00.000-07:00

專門做放射線醫師,認為『微波爐』會利用電波少一個正價電子,運用水分子之震盪使食物變熱,所以食物易變成自由基,就會容易致癌。所以偶爾方便用一下, 最好還是少用『微波爐』!

以下文章值得參考 :

人體內的有毒物質主要來源於兩個途徑:

一是大氣與水源中的污染物、通過呼吸及進餐而侵入人體內,鉛、鋁、汞等重金屬就是其代表;
另一個是食物在體內代謝後的廢物,如自由基、硫化氫等。時下, 清除體內垃圾已成健康時尚。

下列方法可幫您及時清除體內毒素

1. 主動咳嗽法:
自然界中的粉塵、金屬微粒及廢氣中的毒性物質,通過呼吸進入肺臟,既損害肺臟,又通過血液循環而 ' 株連' 全身。借助主動咳嗽可以' 清掃 '! 肺臟。每天到室外空氣清新處做深呼吸運動,深吸氣時緩緩抬起雙臂,然後主動咳嗽,使氣流從口、鼻中噴出,咳出痰液。

2. 飲水沖洗法:
定時排便,縮短糞便在腸道內的停留時間,及時排出糞便中的毒素。每天清晨空腹喝一杯溫開水,有利於大便通暢以及毒素從尿液中排出。

3. 運動出汗法:
皮膚也是排泄毒素的途徑,主要通過出汗的方式,讓毒素隨汗液排出體外。

4. 巧用食物法:
●常飲鮮果、鮮菜汁 ( 不經炒煮 ) ,鮮果、鮮菜汁是體內清潔劑 ,它們能排除體內堆積的毒素和廢物。

●常吃海帶, 海帶對放射性物質有特別的親和力, 海帶膠質能促使體內的放射性物質隨著大號排出體外, 從而減少放射性物質在人體內的積聚, 也減少了放射性疾病的發生率。

●常喝綠豆湯, 綠豆湯能輔助排泄體內的毒素, 促進機體的正常代謝。

Pineapple Fights Cancer Growth

2009-03-20T16:55:00.000-07:00

According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer has now surpassed cardiac disease as the largest killer in the United States. The incidence of cancer increases with age, with approximately 80 % of cancers occurring in ppl over the age of 55.

However, according to researchers at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, preventing cancer may be as simple as eating pineapple.

While analyzing bromelain, an extract of crushed pineapple stems, researchers found that two molecules isolated from the extract showed promise in fighting cancer growth:

One molecule, known as CCS, blocks a protein called Ras, which is defective in approximately 30 % of all cancers. The other, called CCZ, stimulates the body's own immune system to target and destroy cancer cells.

Researchers discovered these two molecules work simultaneously to block the growth of a broad range of tumor cells including breast, lung, colon, ovarian & melanoma.

While CCS & CCZ are protease enzymes (usually associated with breaking down proteins, as in the digestive process), the above findings distinguish the molecules as a new way of treating disease & potentially a whole new class of anti-cancer agents.

What's more, bromelain, a rich source of enzymes, has also been found to modulate immunological responses & has been proposed to be of clinical use.

How many people suffered in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

2009-03-12T23:40:00.001-07:00

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it's the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.

The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss, protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections, feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment, boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America’s largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing... Extracts from the tree were shown to:
Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.

The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!

What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched, so why haven't you heard anything about it? If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be, why doesn't every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health--and for many, our very lives are controlled by money and power.

Graviola- the plant that worked too well

One of America 's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended?

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree- it's completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There's no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they'd be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed

When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola, they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and its shocking cover-up came in fast and furious.

The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells." Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public.

Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials--the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment's value were ever initiated.

A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin."

The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers.

Seven years of silence broken, it's finally here!

A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous people in Brazil , is finally available in America . The full Graviola story- including where you can get it and how to use it is included in Beyond Chemotherapy: New Cancer Killers, Safe as Mother's Milk, a Health Sciences Institute FREE special bonus report on natural substances that will effectively revolutionize the fight against cancer.

Marco's comment:

Unsure if the above mentioned is true or the otherwise. But I am going to plant one Graviola plant at my garden.

5 tricks to get your man to the doctor's

2009-03-08T23:47:00.000-07:00

Below are the five tricks to get your man to the doctor's (No screaming or begging involved)

Be the damsel in distress
In the coyest, most honey coated voice you can summon, ask him: "Sweetheart, how will you take care of me if you're not well?"

Treat him like a child
When he coughs, pat his back. When he sneezes, put a tissue to his nose and make him blow it. Baby him enough and he'll be begging to see the doctor. Men detest being treated like children.

Scare him silly
All men are terrified of becoming infertile. Gently remind him that staying sick affects his sperm count, and can even affect his virility. He'll be dying to see the doctor.

Strike while the iron is hot
Strike when he is dog tired and woozy. Tell him how his company has been squeezing every ounce of his energy and underpaying him then casually mention company benefits. Use the following words: "MC", "day off", "couch-potato" and most importantly, "FREE".

Tempt him with food
Consistently cook up the blandest dishes you can think of for him, and feast on his favourite dish at the same table. Make sure he smells what you're eating

5 tips for easy weight loss

2009-03-08T01:28:00.000-08:00

Tip3: Go for fresh wholesome meals
If you can, get fresh food. Try and avoid processed and convenient foods such as fast food which are often higher in sodium and fat content.

Tip4: Reduce the intake of sugary drinks
Juices, carbonated drinks, and cream& sugar in your coffee or tea can all add up. Drink no less than 8 glasses of water a day instead. In addition to providing hydration to your body, water will be also help you feel full.

Tip5: Work your body
Most experts recommend 30- 60 minutes physical activity a day to stay healthy. Also try weight-bearing exercises at least twice a week. This will help burn unwanted calories.

Marco's comment:
Chew your food slowly before swallow. Besides, if you eat out, instead of ordering fruit juices or soft drinks, get yourself a cup of green tea or plain water.

"感冒"- 多喝水卻很少尿一定要看

2009-03-03T22:30:00.000-08:00

感冒多喝水卻很少尿尿一定一定要看。女生要注意,男生要給你的女伴看!
希望大家都能注意自己身體細微的變化! 如果感冒多喝水卻很少尿尿一定要有警覺心, 因為腎臟的神經很大條很粗心不會警告你, 事業誠可貴, 健康價更高!
俗話說經一事長一智,不過我寧可沒經歷這件事, 不論你多忙,請你看完這個正在發生的事......

〝感冒〞讓我的一個好同事(其實可以說是好朋友), 現年26歲,在耶誕節那天住進醫院的加護病房直到今天 (12/28)都沒出來。

她, 一個花樣年華的女孩子, 才26歲,前幾天不舒服, 講話有鼻音, 告訴我們她應該感冒了, 她媽媽叫她去看醫生, 她說她自已多喝開水就好了, 過了兩天, 實在很不舒服才去看醫生, 開始服葯, 起初有好一點, 但是她告訴媽媽每天喝很多水, 可是排尿很少,也沒在意, 但是很容易疲倦, 這樣大約過了三四天,她在12/22還活蹦亂跳的和我們一起參加公司尾牙, 12/23還和朋友一起出外遊玩; 12/24早上就沒起床過一直在睡覺, 她媽媽問她, 她說應該是〝感冒〞很累要睡覺就這樣, 一直到12/25早上她媽媽說, 已經睡一整天了該起來看看吃點東西服葯, 結果她才發覺自已根本站不住, 而且腹痛緊急送往醫院, 直接送入加護病房檢查原因, 原先醫院推測是腹膜炎要緊急動手術, 但經過胃腸科主治醫生初步檢查覺得不像, 就去照超音波, 發覺胃腸根本沒事, 這才又找了婦產科醫生會診, 又去照超音波, 結果一樣檢查不出什麼問題。

過一夜12/26早上, 她全身酸痛躺不住, 坐著呼吸急促, 緊急戴氧氣罩, 醫院發覺她根本沒排過尿, 這才找了腎臟科醫生會診, 腎臟科醫生一檢查, 從她臉上出現二個紅點, 及一直沒排尿, 推測是急性敗血症引發急性腎衰竭, 但還不能確定, 所以抽血去檢驗, 另外, 培養她體內的細菌, 看是哪一種細菌這樣厲害, 但是抽血檢驗要下午才會有結果, 培養細菌要三天才會有結果, 腎臟科醫師推測是一種名為葛蘭氏, (我不知道字對不對, 這個譯音是來自醫生口中)細菌的頑強細菌進入血液中直接破壞血小板才會是目前的病狀,建議醫院使用專門針對葛蘭氏細菌的抗生素為她注射, (一直到此時醫院還是用一般的抗生素注射, 因為沒查出病因, 無法對症下葯!)。

但是, 一直到12/26中午, 我去加護病房看她時, 剛好遇到腎臟科醫師門診完來看她, 但我已看到手肘靠著床邊的部份已立即出現了淤血且變黑, 因為無法排尿而產生的水腫,這位醫師隨即問了我的身份後, 要找她的父母說明病情, 我及她的父母才在這位好心的醫師詳細解說下, 瞭解她的病況己到了危及生命的階段, 急性敗血症己經引發了第一項併發症-急性腎衰竭, 目前臉上的紅點及手肘的淤血都是急性敗血症的徵兆, 目前已出現了呼吸急促的病狀, 接下來可能會引發腦部缺氧而無法呼吸!

正式宣佈有三天的危險期, 並且立即安排洗腎, 清除腎臟內的積水。
今天12/27中午我眼看她, 加護病房內的她插入鼻管, 管內都是血, 我還要強忍著眼淚, 告訴她,嗨! 今天看起來氣色好多了, 躺著沒問題、可以睡的著就好了, 明後天開始好好補補又可以一起上班了,出去問了她媽媽, 才知道今早併發了胃出血, 緊急插管抽血 ........ 她媽媽對著我一直掉眼淚說:我祇要她能好, 我怎樣都沒關係...

我要奉勸各位好朋友一些事, 這是那位好心醫生的提醒:
每天在我們身邊都有很多細菌,〝感冒〞祇是你的身體提醒你, 免疫系統受到傷害, 有任何症狀都要一五一十告訴醫生, 好讓醫生能研判確實的病情!

另外,建議女性朋友們:
上洗手間前後都要洗手!以免細菌經由尿道進入身體破壞我們的血液組織, 引發如此嚴重後果, 還有不要諱疾忌醫! 畢竟,生命是我們自己的!

Beware of birth control pills

2009-03-03T04:18:00.001-08:00

Received a forwarded email that worth sharing with the readers especially women. Nobody could tell if the content is true or fake, but it is better to take note than ignorance.

Recently this past week, my cousin Nicole Dishuk (age 31...newly graduated student with a doctoral degree about to start her new career as a Doctor...) was flown into a nearby hospital, because she passed out.

They found a blood clot in her neck, and immediately took her by helicopter to the ER to operate. By the time they removed the right half of her skull to relieve the pressure on her brain; the clot had spread to her brain causing severe damage.

Since last Wednesday night, she was battling... they induced her into a coma to stop the blood flow, they operated 3 times... Finally, they said there was nothing left that they could do... they found multiple clots in the left side of her brain... the swelling wouldn't stop, and she was on life support...

She passed away at 4:30 yesterday. She leaves behind a husband, a 2yr old Brandon and a 4yr old Justin... They found was a birth control pill she was taking that allows you to only have your period 3 times a year... They said it interrupts life's menstrual cycle, and although it is FDA approved... shouldn't be - So to the women in my address book - I ask you to boycott this product & deal with your period once a month - so you can live the rest of the months that your life has in store for you.

*Please send this to every woman you know - you may save someone's life... Remember, you have a cycle for a reason!

The warnings and side effects of the birth control pills are horrible. Please, please forward this information to as many daughters and sons, co-workers, friends and relatives. Several lives have already been changed.

Marco's comment:
Condom is still the best way for birth control. Besides, it is also proven to be very effective on prevention of STDs (Sexual Transmitted Diseases). Why choose birth control pill while there is a better alternative?

Men's fitness

2009-03-01T04:55:00.005-08:00

As you age, your body loses muscle tissue and your metabolism slows down. Exercise is the best way to get physically fit and lose weight. It can also add years to your life.

Experts recommend 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic activity at least three times a week.

Select the best plan that is favorable to your lifestyle, whether it is at home or a fitness club. Pick a form of exercise you will enjoy the most and start out slowly, increasing your activity and work out-time gradually.

Consider adding basic weight training to build muscles, burn calories and control body fat. If you're beginner, try increasing your personal fitness in your everyday life by walking more, doing gardening, painting, and parking your car further from your destination.

Not only will you have the satisfaction of getting things done, you'll enjoy the benefits of being physically fit.

You don't need to lump your exercise all in one session. Try it in 10 minute increments if this is easier for you and as time allows.

Oral Care- Teeth and gums

2009-02-15T05:07:00.000-08:00

Oral care is an important and integral part of our everyday lives. Tooth decay remains a common problem although preventable for people of all ages.

It tends to occur to people with poor dental hygiene, diets rich in sugar, dry mouth; who drink unfluoridated water or to those on certain medications. We need to continue to keep our teeth and gums healthy.

Your teeth and gums
Your tooth can divided into three basic parts. The outer part of your tooth is the enamel, a hard and protective covering made up of 97% calcium over the softer but larger fraction of dentine. Below the dentine, there is the pulp that consists of nerves and blood vessels. Teeth are held in place by fibres located between a thin layer called the cementum and bone. Healthy gums are normally pink, firm and do not bleed when brushed. A person has gingivitis when his/her gums are red.

Marco's comment

Good oral care is not only affecting one's health, but the general outlook and image as well.

Chikungunya Virus

2009-02-12T18:02:00.000-08:00

We have just been alerted that Chikungunya Virus outbreak in Malaysia, spread by mosquitoes, is quite serious. More than 2,000 people are infected down south.

Consult a health-care provider or visit the nearest hospital for chikungunya fever if you showed symptoms such as fever, severe joint pains and rashes.

Four states have been hit, i.e. Johor, Malacca, Negeri Sembilan and Perak. The worst hit is Tangkak, Johor. Almost all elderly people (age 45 years and above) are infected with this virus. Many people who are infected seek treatment from Tangkak Hospital every day. There were times beds were full, and the hospital could not warded them. Therefore they were discharge after a half day treatment in the ward.

► Below is the chronological of this outbreak.

1. The disease is spread by the foreigner workers in the plantations.

2. Then the 'bugs' are passed down to the local planters, of which, their families are infected eventually.

3. Now people in this town (Tangkak) are infected as well as others in nearby towns and states.

► Symptoms of Chikungunya:

1. High fever

2. Rashes

3. Chronic joints pain (which will last for 3 months)

► Recommendations:

1. Increase adhoc facilities and manpower in district hospital and clinics.

2. Bring down the population of the vector (mosquitoes)

3. Quarantine the sick people who are infected with this virus.

4. Educate the public how to prevent and contain the disease.

Dr. Teo Kim Lai (among the many courageous Pahlawan Volunteer veterinarians involved in the investigation of the Nipah Virus Outbreak, 1999 archived at http://www.pahlawan.com.my/voice/VECrisis1.shtml recommends that the sick should be quarantined as the virus is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected mosquitoes. CHIK fever epidemics are sustained by human-mosquito-human transmission.

Think your indoor air is safe?

2009-02-09T19:22:00.000-08:00

Most people spend 60% - 90% of their time indoors. Do you know that almost 50% of all illness are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air? Indoor air is found to be up to 70 times more polluted than outdoor air; overuse of air conditioner is one of the factors.

Who would be without air conditioner? In hot, humid climates it is more than a modern comfort- it is an essential element in getting through those sweltering, sticky days. But, like most modern conveniences, air conditioner has its down-sides. The problems associated with air conditioners arise out of overuse and many people notice increased snuffle, dazes, tinnitus and allergy problems after having stayed in air-conditioned room for a long time. Do you know why?

The above symptoms are known as “Air-cond Disease” or “Air-cond Syndrome”. The air in an air conditioned environment of a tightly sealed and well insulated home or place can become stale as the same indoor air is circulated and re-circulated. Bacteria, dirt and dust particles accumulate the interior of air conditioner after extensive usage, especially air filters and evaporator in the air conditioner. When the filters and indoor air quality and causing deterioration in one’s health.

Medical experts have advised the air conditioner should be cleaned 2-3 times yearly and people should open windows often and let in fresh air.

Marco’s comment:
I believe the Air-cond Disease” or “Air-cond Syndrome” are applicable to cars’ air conditioner as well.

Real also:

1. Perilous Printer?

2. Plants for healthier living.

3. Air out your car before turning on air-conditioner.

Liver is the largest organ in human body but it is almost not innervated, therefore you will not have obvious pain when your liver is damaged; in addition to potent regenerative ability of liver, it is still able to maintain normal function without prominent symptoms despite of removal or damage of liver up to ¾ of it, thus it is easily overlooked most of the time. However, once the liver condition deteriorates then prolonged treatment is required to heal it.

Functions of liver:
1. As factory of detoxification, responsible for removal and filtration of toxins throughout the body such as bacteria and harmful chemical substances.
2. Produces enzymes.
3. Produces bile juice for digestion of fat.
4. Synthesizes protein.

Main causes for liver damage:
Constant or excessive alcohol consumption will lead to accumulation of fat in liver cells causing enlargement of liver (hepatomegaly) and this is known as fatty liver. Fatty liver has smooth surface and sometimes is painful on palpation. It is worth to take note that alcohol metabolism in the body of Eastern people does not occur as fast as that of Western people and they are more prone to discomfort after drinking alcohol, thus the amount of consumption should not exceed proper limit.

However, medical experts have found from numerous clinical studies that apart from alcohol drinking, 35% of fulminating liver failure are caused by medication. Experts point out that “all drugs are toxic to some extent.” There is a wide range of medications that cause liver damage and many of these are familiar to us such as flu drug, antibiotics and herbal medicines, etc. People nowadays are in favour of mixing traditional medicine with modern medicine which may cause overdose without being aware of it.

Excessive intake of food with high fat content will cause deposition of fat within liver cells and change of liver cells which is medically known as fatty liver. Constant worsening of fatty liver will develop into liver cirrhosis and even leading to liver failure.

人體的排毒時間

2009-01-20T06:07:00.000-08:00

只要注意起居與飲食習慣的調整，食療加上時療，讓身體在正確的時間內主動進行吸收與排毒的動作。

時間：

晚上9-11點為免疫系統（淋巴）排毒時間，此段時間應安靜或聽音樂。倘若此時，作母親的仍處於焦慮狀態，如洗碗盤、盯孩子功課，對健康不利。

晚間11-凌晨1點，肝的排毒，需在熟睡中進行。

凌晨1-3點，膽的排毒亦同。

凌晨3-5點，肺的排毒，此即為何咳嗽的人在這段時間咳得最劇烈；因排毒動作已走到肺經，不應用止咳藥，以免抑制廢積物的排除。

凌晨5-7點，大腸的排毒，應上廁所排便。

凌晨7-9點，小腸大量吸收營養的時段，應吃早餐。療病者最好早吃，在６點半前，養生者在７點半前，不吃早餐者應改變習慣，即使拖到9、10點吃都比不吃好。

晚睡晚起混亂整個排毒過程；另外，半夜至凌晨４點為脊椎造血時段，必須熟睡，不宜熬夜。

Sex and relationships

2009-01-17T18:13:00.000-08:00

Engaging in regular sexual activities with your partner is also a part of healthy living and keeps your relationship happy. Relationships can be strained when there is loss of sexual desire or when the male partner has sexual dysfunction.

Lack of energy and fatigue as a result of poor blood circulation can contribute to the loss of sexual desire or sexual dysfunction. The present working environment consists of many men who complained of the lack of sexual interest due to fatigue and lack of energy. By committing yourself to regular physical exercises at least 2-3 times a week, your work stress can be relieved and sex life improved.

Marco's comment

Sexual desire and sexual activities will keeps one stay young and healthy due to the self-generation of hormone which is good for health and anti-aging as well.

An exhausted body and soul after a over stressed working period will keep your sex desire away. Thus, work life balance is a must for healthy sex life.

肝癌和肝的致命傷

2009-01-16T05:56:00.000-08:00

你是不是常忙到8:00才吃飯啊! 各位: 雖然我們還年輕，但請保重體。肝的致命傷原因一定要看！

台大醫院醫師最近掀起一股超音波檢查熱，原因是該院一位才37歲的主治醫師就是因為太過仰賴肝功能指數檢查（GOT、GPT），卻在春節前被檢出已有10公分肝癌！且肝已被撐破！

請耐心的看完臨床上有太多太多人都迷信肝功能指數，以為指數正常就一切OK，這樣的誤解，連很多專業醫師都會犯，這些平時要民眾建立正確保健常識的醫生，自己的常識竟還不正確。

肝癌的預防要好，早期檢出、早期治療是不二法則，但台大早年推動肝癌防治，但最後仍是死於肝癌的許子秋署長最令人印象深‥，另外還有病理界頗負盛名的林文教授、醫界耆老杜教授，以及台大內科醫師、醫學院內科博士班的學生KK均因罹患肝癌宣告不治。

肝病防治學術基金會執行長、台大醫院內科教授許金川指出，近十幾年來，隨著小型肝癌的研究，臨床上才確定肝臟好壞並不能全然仰賴GOT、GPT數值，但醫學發展至此，觀念竟依然如故。

許金川表示，醫生對肝病的防治都可能發生錯誤認知，更遑論一般民眾了；這也是肝癌為何如此難以治療的最大原因。

在台灣，每天有30人死於肝病，肝臟疾病已是威脅國人健康的最大殺手，在肝病常識有限下，許醫師感嘆，有太多人都是被無知給害死的。

日前，許醫師門診也是有位病人，最近一個月經常肚子痛而且體重也減輕了不少；經超音波檢查發現，肝臟部位有一個很大的肝癌，幾乎80%的肝臟都「吃」掉了。病人大吃一驚，直呼「怎麼可能？去年才做健康檢查，結果都是正常的，怎麼可能才短短的一年，就長出這麼大的肝癌？

原來病人接受的體檢只有做肝功能檢查，檢查結果病人的肝功能都是「正常」。病人接受的肝功能檢查，是肝臟檢查項目中最讓一般人耳熟能詳的一種檢查，但這項檢查卻是被國人誤解最深的一項。因為，很多人以為只要肝功能檢查出來的數值正常的，那肝臟就沒有什麼問題了；結果一樁樁喪失治療先機的悲劇就一而再再而三的發生。

許金川說：GOT、GPT是肝細胞裡面最多的酵素，如果肝臟發炎，或者是不管什麼原因細胞壞死，壞死之後GOT、GPT會跑出來，導致血液裡面的GOT、GPT數值升高；但是，GOT、GPT指數不高，卻不代表病人沒有肝硬化或是肝癌。因為形成肝硬化的時候，大部份肝炎患者，就算發炎情形都已經停止了，可是纖維化、肝硬化卻已經形成；一旦變成肝硬化，病人就很容易形肝癌。

另外，肝癌在早期，肝指數也不會高，因為肝癌在生長的時候，只有在肝癌周圍被肝癌壓迫侵犯的肝細胞才會壞死，因此，GOT、GPT仍可能是正常的，即使會升高，不會太高；但是，由於很多人缺乏這些知識，因此造成不幸悲劇。

肝的致命傷原因如下：
1.晚睡晚起為最大致命傷。
2.早上不排便。
3.暴飲暴食。
4.不吃早餐 → 透支體力而不自知。
5.服用藥物過度。
6.防腐劑、添加物、色素、人工甘味（如：沙茶醬）。
7.不當的油脂（如：沙拉油為不穩定油），烹調盡量少用油，即便是好油，如：橄欖油。疲倦時不吃油炸物，若要吃趁精神好時吃。
8.不生食（完全熟食）亦不利肝。青菜生吃或煮三分或五分熟，炒過的青菜當天吃完，不要隔夜吃。
9.錯誤的價值觀，只追求卓越，欠缺和平、博愛。

10.急躁。

救救自己晚餐別太晚吃

2009-01-15T05:40:00.000-08:00

體質是慢性疾病的開始(晚餐別太晚吃)晚上8:00再吃晚餐就算''宵夜''了！你是不是也常忙到8:00才吃飯呢！根據統計國內70%的人具有酸性體質。酸性體質有一個很大的特徵，吃越好得慢性疾病的機率就會很高。因為體質變酸，酵素作用會受到阻礙，內分泌失調，荷爾蒙也會受阻礙。酸性體質的朋友，一味地吃大魚大肉所謂有營養的食物，事實上是雪上加霜，只會讓身體越來越糟，要找出問題的根源去改變你的體質，才是根本解決之道。

《熬夜會使體質變酸》
晚上1:00以後不睡覺，人體的代謝作用由內分泌燃燒，用內分泌燃燒產生的毒素會很多，會使體質變酸 ,通常熬夜的人得慢性疾病的機率比抽煙或喝酒的人都來得高。所以每天儘量在12:00以前睡覺，不要常熬夜，若非要熬夜，一星期以一次為限！熬夜時不要吃肉，盡量吃碳水化合物，這樣隔天才不至於很累，可把傷害減至最低。

《吃宵夜的人，體質容易變酸》
時常交際應酬的生意人，通常壽命較短，易患糖尿病、高血壓。凡是晚上8:00再進食就稱做宵夜。吃宵夜隔天會疲倦，爬不起床,肝也會受損，因為睡覺時，人體各器官活動力低，處於休息狀態，因此食物留在腸子裡會變酸、發酵、產生毒素傷害身體。

《早起的人身體好》
人體在凌晨4:30，體溫達到最低點，血液循環最慢，因此古時候練功的人在4:30以前就起床。如果睡太晚，血液循環變慢，氧氣也跟著減少，變成缺氧性燃燒，會使體質變酸。

《不吃早餐的人，體質會變酸》
一天三餐中，早餐佔了70分，午餐0分，晚餐30分。可見早餐最重要，但台灣人普遍不吃早餐，更遭的是養成吃宵夜的習慣，這是非常不正確的飲食習慣。所以從現在起要更重視早餐，學習如何吃早餐。早餐一定要豐富而且要選擇耐燃燒4-5小時的食物，才足夠你一天的消耗量。

《精緻食物加速胃腸老化》
少運動且整天坐在辦公室的上班族最容易犯這種錯誤，因為吃的少，刻意選擇很精緻的食物而少吃粗糙的食物，這種人的腸子老化的特別快，肝功能差，大便是黑色的而且會常便秘。因為精緻食物缺乏纖維素，會導致腸子功能變差，甚至萎縮，所的食物變成了毒素，使你體質變酸，慢性病也開始。養生之道就在日常生活裡，吃出健康，也能吃出自信。

Adopting healthy eating habits with the right combination of foods constitute an essential part of healthy living. The foods that you eat can determine the performance of your activities at home, work and in sport. Over-eating certain types of food and lacking physical exercise can contribute to obesity and health-related issues. Here are some tips for choosing healthy foods for your daily diet

1. Have your meals at the right time. Avoid skipping meals and if you do not feel like eating, consume a light snack. If you plan to exercise, eat your meals 2-3 hours beforehand and if you do not feel like having your meal, have a light snack at least one hour before your exercise.

2. During your meals, consume an adequate amount of carbohydrates to generate energy for your muscles (rice, bread, noodles, cereals, pasta, fruits and vegetables). You can get tired more quickly if you are not consuming enough carbohydrates.

3. Always drink sufficient fluids (water, beverages and fruit juices) for the healthy function of your body. The loss of fluids may increase the risk of heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Excessive consumption of alcohol and caffeine are dehydrating and do not rehydrate your body.

4. After an intensive workout, replenish the loss of energy in your muscles by eating a carbohydrate-rich meal/ snack within 30 minutes. Loss of sodium and potassium from your physical activities can be replaced with mineral water, sports drinks, or a diet of potassium-rich fruits and vegetables. Eating large servings of food rich in protein and regular exercise help to build your muscles.

5. Foods that contain vitamin B’s and some minerals are necessary for the production of energy in your body.

6. Limit yourself to eating foods with low cholesterol content. Consume more white meat (fish, chicken), vegetables and fruits.

自己給自己做 CPR急救的方法 (Self CPR)

2009-01-13T05:29:00.000-08:00

不知倒是真的還假的.......假設現在時刻是下午五點五十分，忙忙碌碌的你上了一整天的班，正在開車回家的路上(當然是一個人囉！)。其實，工作忙碌沉重也就罷了，今天還跟上司意見不合。好說歹說，說破了嘴，他就是不肯換個角度來看你的立場。你真是氣炸了！到現在是越想越氣。突然，你感到胸口有一股劇痛，並且開始漫延到手臂和下巴。可是，離最近的醫院大概還有五公里遠。更糟糕的是，你自己都不知道能不能撐得了那麼遠。怎麼辦？以前曾經受過心肺複甦術CPR訓練，但是教課老師並沒教你怎麼自己給自己做急救的方法。

獨處時，心臟病發作急救術(許多人心臟病發作時，四周沒有旁人因此，學會能自己給自己做簡單的心肺複甦術是非常重要的。) 一個人若是心臟不能正常跳動，並且開始感到快要昏! 過去時，他大概只有十秒鐘的時間，然後就會失去知覺，不省人事。若是四周沒有旁人能幫忙急救, 患者要立刻把握這十秒鐘的短暫時間自己救自己。要不停咳嗽！用力的咳！每一次咳嗽前，都要先深吸一大口氣。然後，用力地、深深地、長長地咳，好像要把胸腔深處的痰咳出來一般。每間隔大約兩秒鐘 , 要做一次吸、一次咳，一直要做到救護趕到時，或者已經感到心跳恢復正常，才能休息。做深呼吸的目的是要把氧氣吸進肺部，咳嗽的目的則是要以這個動作壓擠心臟，進而促進血液循環。對心臟的擠壓也可以幫它恢復正常脈搏。如此急救，可以讓心臟病發作患者有機會打電話求救，或者在每次吸氣間呼救。救人一命，勝造七級浮屠。請大家把這個自我心肺複甦急救術告訴大家，或再影印分發。說不定就因此救了您的家人、親戚、朋友、同事、左鄰右舍或任何一個不管您認識或不認識的人一命。

Sport and masculinity

2009-01-12T23:19:00.000-08:00

Sport is an expression of masculinity and an important form of physical exercise. Regular sporting improves:

- strength
- muscle growth
- blood circulation
- endurance
- stamina
- reduces weight gain
- reduces stress
- improves the physical appearance

Remember that your heart is also a muscle and regular workouts can strengthen your heart. However, due to the physical and mental demands of the present work culture, most men do not find time for sports or even physical exercise despite consuming regular rich diets. The lack of engaging in sporting activities or physical exercise can dampen masculinity and in the long term contribute to obesity.

Men often suffer from work-related stress, sleeping disorders and poor memory. They are unmotivated to exercise, lack sexual desire and suffer from various illnesses as a result of fatigue and energy deficiency. Healthy men have improved brain and physical function, and better work-related performance in their routine daily activities compared with those who lack vitality and suffer from fatigue.

Marco's comment:

If you really got no time to do exercise, try to treat housework as exercise. As long as you keep your body moving and sweating, it is as good as doing exercise.

Health concerns for men

2009-01-11T14:31:00.000-08:00

In general, men suffer from more chronic conditions and have lower life expectancy than women. This can be attributed to differences in health related beliefs and social behaviours where men are less likely to engage in behaviours linked to health and longevity.

It is not uncommon to find that many men smoke, drink alcohol in excess, lack exercise, have poor diets, suffer from work-related stress, depression and drug addiction that is detrimental to their wellbeing.

Men rarely discuss their concerns with their partners or close family members and their health concerns can range from insomnia, diabetes, heart disease to sexual dysfunction.

身體除濕

2009-01-04T05:50:00.000-08:00

身體的除濕小小柔軟操,非常除濕喔! 在秋冬季節變換時，由於外在的溫差、溼度，以及個人飲食生活習慣的不規律，使得體內潮濕、氣血循環變弱、黏膜組織滋潤物不足，致使免疫力下降，很容易引發呼吸系統的病變，如咳嗽、鼻子過敏、打噴嚏、流鼻血不止、鼻塞、頭昏腦脹等毛病。

解決之道：
1.早睡早起，晨起睡前做柔軟體操或簡易動功五到十分鐘，不僅可以鍛鍊出強健的筋骨，亦可清除體內的濕氣、寒氣或溼熱。絕對不要熬夜晚睡，那可是會將你的免疫力降低高達百分之三十的。

2.咳嗽時，我們可以握拳，以拳頭的上方敲打胸部的左上角及右上角；此乃肺部的頂端，輕輕拍打此處六十下，敲打中喉嚨會癢癢的然後產生咳嗽，這是讓髒東西出來。記得左右兩邊都要敲，可每日多敲幾遍。尤其騎車或上下班時間回到屋內，更應馬上敲打，以清理肺中污染的空氣。

3.鼻過敏時，雙手同時按摩後腦袋五分鐘，喝熱杏仁茶，或大步快走半小時，或洗澡時以較熱熱水沖後頸部數分鐘。

4.有一位治癌專家說：「避免癌症的最佳方法，就是一年到頭都喝溫開水。」我們的身體必須消耗極大的能量，才能將喝下的冰飲料溫暖至正常體溫(攝氏三十六度半)，如此一來整體的免疫力自然遽降了。所以如果你常喝冰飲料，建議你，將飲料退冰半小時或改喝常溫白開水

Mascara application tips and tricks

2009-01-02T19:28:00.000-08:00

Tips and tricks on how to achieve perfect lashes by Revlon International makeup artist Elsa Morgan.

1. For full perfect lashes (or the illusion of) you can first start by very subtly lining the top lash line in a black or brown eye liner to add the effect of fuller lashes. You shouldn’t really see the line as such; it’s just to really fill in any areas between the lashes that may be missed by mascara.

2. Next, curl the lashes with a good eyelash curler. Curl from root base out to tip. It’s important to do this before applying mascara. Curling after mascara risks damaging the lashes.

3. Apply the mascara by wiggling the mascara wand horizontally at the base of lash line first. Then pull the wand out to coat the entire lash. Do this a few times to catch each lash from inner to outer corner. Add a few coats but be careful of clumps on your final application

4. Comb through with a lash comb or brush and use this action to place the lashes in a perfect fan-like shape.

5. I don’t generally do the lower lashes unless they are really short otherwise you risk looking too doll-like. But if you choose to, use the lash comb to comb away most of the mascara so that it has more of a tinting effect.

6. My general tip for mascara would be to remember that it is one of the most important make-up products we have to make magic happen- like how a beautiful frame can really set off any piece of artwork!

7. And keep in mind that mascara not only adds depth of colour and volume but also acts as a setting lotion, which is why curling immediately before, and combing immediately after applying the mascara (i.e. while it is still wet) will make all the difference to the end result!

有些輕食飲料吃不得

2009-01-01T01:23:00.000-08:00

1.橘子汽水（芬達）：他們現場開了一罐芬達，而且也照著罐子上的汽水成分說明，另外準備了一模一樣的材料，現場示範，結果果然調出來的飲料和芬達一模一樣，而且除了水、糖以外，其餘的都只有化學原料，真的很可怕！！

2.非鮮搾的柳橙汁：這是人工合成的飲料，先將柳橙泡過鹽酸（就是用來洗廁所的）以後，使其皮去除苦味、軟化纖維，之後，再加入色素、香精、以及維他命C，這就是我們喝的柳橙汁！天然的柳橙汁的成本是不可能這麼便宜的，千萬要看清楚成分！

3.雞蛋蜜豆奶：所謂的雞蛋並不是添加雞蛋，而是添加含有蛋的香料，吃多了有害身體健康！

4.芋頭奶茶：工作人員拿出一包向「休X小X」買的芋頭粉，再加上溫水，現場就變成了一杯芋頭奶茶，而且味道很香喔！（因為是香料。然後又拿出前3天所泡的芋茶，結果發現有固體的沈澱物，更恐怖的是，又拿出前5天泡的，天啊！居然變成藍色的，而且打開後有惡臭，真的很臭！天然的東西壞掉後，會產生酸味而不是惡臭味，只有化學藥品才會產生惡臭！突然之間我覺得我們身體就像是裝化學原料的瓶子，慢慢被侵蝕。

5.市面上有很多所謂的咖啡、水蜜桃、茉莉、芋頭口味的東西，例如加味水、果凍、餅乾,甚至肉燥泡麵的肉燥包, 這些東西都是添加香精調配出來的，因為工作人員有拿上述的香精（液體）給我聞，天啊！味道一模一樣，就是平時我所聞到的味道，而這些香精都是化學原料，因為工廠為了要大量生產、減低成本，所以就會使用香精，但是香精是化學品，有些並不一定會被我們肝臟解毒，久了，就會沈澱在我們身體裡，最後沈澱多了，就會讓我們生病、得癌症，現在最新統計，每3人就會有一人得癌症。吃東西還是天然的最好，吃之前看清楚它的成分吧！

所以從今天起，再也不會吃那些化學品了！

日常起居六忌

2008-12-31T06:08:00.000-08:00

清晨忌吸煙
人甦醒時新陳代謝尚未恢復到正常水平，呼吸的頻率較慢，體內積滯的二氧化碳較多，這時吸煙會使支氣管因抽煙的刺激而導痙攣收縮，使二氧化碳的排出受阻，從而產生氣悶、頭暈、乏力等症狀。

空腹忌喝牛奶
牛奶中的蛋白質經過胃與小腸消化成氨基酸才能在小腸被吸收，而空腹喝牛奶時胃排空很快，蛋白質還不及被吸收即排到大腸，不但造成營養的浪費，而且蛋白質還會在大腸內腐敗成有毒物質。

如廁忌看報
大便是人的神經低級和高級中樞共同參與的活動，許多人習慣於拿上一份報紙或一本書，一蹲就是小半天。如廁看書報不但會使排便意識受到抑制。失去了直腸對糞便刺激的敏感性，久而久之會引起便秘。

室內忌養飛鳥
鳥糞中帶有鸚鵡病毒、島型結核桿菌及寄瞞，鳥糞被烏踏碎以後，病毒與病菌便飛揚在空氣中，這對室內的身體健康很不利。若人體長時間吸入，會誘發呼吸道黏膜充血、咳嗽、痰多、發燒等症狀，嚴重者還會出現肺炎與休克。

洗澡時間忌過長
洗澡時，熱水產生出大量的水蒸氣，附在水中的有毒物質如三氯乙烯、三氯甲烷等分別被蒸發80%和50%以上。有些有毒物質隨蒸氣而被身體部份吸收，進入血液循環系統，危害很大。而且，在較熱的水中洗澡時間過久，對心臟也不利。

睡覺窗戶忌緊閉
人人睡後，每分鐘要吸入300毫升氧氣，呼出250毫升二氧化碳，如果門窗緊閉，密不透風，不消3小時，室內約二氧化碳量就會增加3倍以上，細菌、塵埃等有害物質也會成倍增長。因此，睡覺時應留些窗縫，以便讓室外新鮮空氣不斷流入，室內二氧化碳及時排出。

Papaya Leave Juice - Cure for Dengue Fever

2008-12-28T02:48:00.000-08:00

There is no medicine to cure dengue fever. What you can rely on is only your immune system. Doctors will normally advise dengue patients to take more fruits to boost up the immune system to recover from the dengue fever.

In this case, I believe papaya leave juice shall be the most appropriate juice to help in fighting the dengue virus.

Below are 2 stories explain how papaya leave juice help the dengue patients as well as the method of preparing it.

Story 1
I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after 15 litres of blood transfusion.

His father was so worried that he seeks another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he gave his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. From a platelet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around.

Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like "Won Low Kat". But it works.

Story 2
You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.

A friend of mine had dengue last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.

Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!!

Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heat.

Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases.. It's great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients.

Furthermore it's so easily available.
Blend them and squeeze the juice! It's simple and miraculously effective!

What is skin whitening? In the history of Japan, geishas are known for their painted white skin which represents beauty, grace and high social status. In today’s changing modern society, the perception of fairer skin is evolving, where some say fair skin is white skin while others would argue that fair skin is just that: fair skin.

But how does one get fairer skin then? Do you hide under the shade? Apply skin whitening products? Or do you make your own remedy? In the world today, skin whitening products are available in various forms. Be it creams, soaps, pills and lotions, all of them serve only one purpose, to help our skin become fairer. There are of course simple remedies and courses that can be taken to whiten our skin.

It is true that fair skin somehow looks better, provided you looks healthy as well.

指甲半月痕

2008-12-05T21:59:00.000-08:00

其實什麽是半月痕？瓣開你的手指,在指甲的開端,會有一個宛如半月的白色痕跡,這個就是半月痕。如果你發現,你的十個手指裏面已經沒有了半月痕,那麽,你的身體健康狀況並不如你所想的理想哦!不知道在哪裏？

就算你看到你的手指有半月痕,你也別高興得太早哦!真正健康的半月痕的顔色是白色!其他顔色的話,那就是說不是很健康了!

半月痕其實是陰陽經脈界線,代表著人體的精氣和健康。所以如果健康不佳,消化不良,半月痕就會變得細小,模糊,甚至消失。

怎樣才是正常的半月痕呢？拌開你的雙手,8-10個手指都有半月痕是為佳,而它的面積是指甲的五分之一,顔色為乳白色為好,越白越好。如果半月痕小于五分之一,则表示精力不足,肠胃吸收能力差。如半月痕突然晦暗、缩细、消失,往往会患有消耗性的疾病、肿瘤、出血等。而如果半月痕較面積五分之一大,多为心肌肥大,易患心脑血管、高血压、中风等疾病。

而不正常的半月痕為數量少的半月痕。數量越少,表示體質越寒,所以手腳冰冷而免疫力弱。

寒底型
• 半月痕少至無
• 臟腑功能低,氣血運行慢所以容易疲勞以及精神不振,但卻嗜睡
• 面色蒼白,手腳冰冷,容易感冒
• 气滞血瘀,痰湿停滞,痰湿结节
• 消化不良,吸收能力差,體質下降

熱底型
• 凡小指都有半月痕。
• 半月痕大于指甲的五分之一
• 體内陽氣較旺,臟腑功能較強所以體質較好
• 但是因爲陽氣較旺盛,所以有面紅的跡象,容易上火煩躁,便秘、口干、食量大
• 手腳不怕冷,好動
• 血壓高,血糖高,易中風

寒熱交錯型
• 半月痕的边界模糊不清、颜色逐渐接近甲体颜色者,属寒热交
• 错或阴阳失调。
• 初期:半月痕边缘开始不清,如放光芒状
• 中期:半月痕开始缩小
• 后期:半月痕逐渐减少并消失

而半月痕的顔色能告知你某些健康的秘密哦!
1. 奶白色 - 正常,精力強壯,體質好
2. 灰色 - 精弱,脾胃消化吸收功能不好,容易貧血+疲倦
3. 粉紅色 - 臟腑功能下降,體力消耗過大,容易引起糖尿病、甲肮等病症
4. 紫色 - 容易引起心脑血管血液循环不良,供血供氧不足,易头晕、头痛、脑动脉硬化
5. 黑色 - 多见于严重的心脏病、肿瘤或长期服药引起药物和重金属中毒

而每一個手指的半月痕都和身體的某一部分有著不可磨滅的關係。

拇指
• 肺脾
• 呈粉红色时,表示胰脏机能不良,容易感冒、反复感冒、疲劳,严重时易患糖尿
• 病

食指
• 肠胃
• 呈粉红色时,表示胃、大肠的循环不良,食欲自然减退

中指
• 心包经、神志
• 呈粉红色时,表示精神过度紧张,易头晕、头痛、思路不清、脑涨、失眠、多梦

無名指
• 内分泌
• 呈粉红色时,表示运行于无名指的三焦经发生异常,易体质下降、阴阳失调,人容
• 易有种说不出的不舒服感,女性会得月经不调等妇科病

小指
• 心肾
• 小指一般很难长出半月痕,出现时,多为热症
• 呈红色时,易患严重的心脏病

如何再次長出半月痕？半月痕和身體的精髓元氣大有關聯。而以中醫學來説元氣是用來濡养全身五脏六腑以及推動五臟六腑的氣血運行,進而增強免疫功能以及长寿抗衰老物质。所以,儅一個人精力不足時,最先要補充的就是蛋白質。當然,如果能適時地補充其他的維他命和礦物質是對身體更加的好!而優質的蛋白質為中性為好,比如, 蛋類、豆類、魚類、黑色性食物(補腎)、种籽性食物、胚胎性食物等。堅持一、兩個月以後,就可以看到半月痕的出現了。

你的半月痕還在嗎？

Shaken Baby Syndrome

2008-12-05T21:24:00.000-08:00

Nowadays, majority of the couples (husbands and wives) need to go out to work to survive the family. The babies and children are sent to baby care centres or the responsibilities of mothers have been passed on to the maids or paid baby sitters.

Below is an article from a forwarded email that may inspire us to change our social lifestyle to give better attention to our next generation especially while they are still a baby or young child.

December 4th, 2007, Jessica Sherwood had to do something no mother should ever have to do. At 2:29 pm Jessica made a very tough, but the right decision to take her little 3 month old daughter off life support.

In memory of little London Marie, i thought id start a little forward.
Jessica had a message that i want every one to know.
This is what Jessica said:

"If anyone has kids, make sure that you keep them with you the whole time. Don't give then to anyone that you don't trust. Trust me, I thought that I trusted Josh. But now as of December 4, 2007 at 2:29 AM, she is gone. My one & only baby and he is going to pay forever, even if he gets out of jail scott free, he will be punished no matter what. And to all my friends that know London , I am very angry & upset that I lost the love of my life, my babygirl. She passed away on her three month birthday .

London had six fractured ribs, both of her legs were fracture, & her brain was so damaged that if she were to live she would be a vegetable. So I did what was right & what was best for her & took her off life support.

That's what you call Shaken Baby Sydrome [SBS]"

For those of you who dont know what Shaken Baby Syndrome check out the facts ;
-Shaking, jerking and jolting can cause blood vessels in the head to tear or burst.

Shaken Baby Syndrome is the shaking of an infant or child by the arms, legs, or shoulders with or without impact of the head.

This trauma can result in bleeding and brain injury with no outward signs of abuse. Often frustrated caregivers feel that shaking a baby or small child is a harmless way to make the child stop crying. However, a baby's brain and blood vessels are vulnerable to whiplash motions, such as shaking, jerking, jolting, and impact.

The neck muscles of an infant or small child are weak, so the child's head is relatively heavy and the neck cannot support the stress of shaking or impact.

Shaking a very young child, with or without impact of the head, can cause irreversible brain damage, blindness, cerebral palsy, hearing loss, spinal cord injury, seizures, learning disabilities, and even death.

It is tragic that healthy, intelligent babies are suffering these disabilities simply because their caregivers don't know about the dangers associated with Shaken Baby Syndrome.

An estimated 1,200 to 1,400 cases of Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) occur each year in the United States .

Only 1 out of 4 babies pass away of Shaken Baby Syndrome. However, the other three babies will need ongoing medical attention for the rest of their short lifespans.

麻油防蚊妙法

2008-11-08T23:09:00.000-08:00

今天下午帶兒子去買一雙鞋子,老闆看了兒子的腳說:「怎這麼多『紅豆冰』呀!？」

我只好無奈說:「蚊子真的好多哦!市面上賣的防蚊液每家都說很天然,但裡頭還是參了一些化學成份,雖然我有買了一瓶, 但最後還是沒在用。」

老闆就教我一個最天然、最安全、最古老的方法。他說,他們常常去爬山什麼的,山上蚊子很多,但是只要用一滴麻油滴在手上,兩隻手抹一下,拍打在寶寶手上和腳上,最後手上沒油了,但還有麻油的味道,就輕輕拍一下寶寶的臉上,爬一個山下來,蚊子都躲的遠遠的哦!

我聽了這個方法後很高興的回家試驗看看,把麻油弄在兒子手腳和臉上,就帶去公園試試看。

哇~~天啊!居然發現有 3 隻蚊子一直想咬兒子,但卻只敢在旁邊飛來飛去,兒子身邊突然好像多了一層防護罩耶! 蚊子僵持了 5 分鐘還在飛, 但就是不敢靠近,最後居然跑來咬我這在旁邊試驗的爸爸,因為我沒擦, 真的有效耶!

好高興哦! 現在弄了一個小瓶子, 隨身帶著, 且只要一滴麻油哦! 弄上身體一點都不油, 且有香香的麻油味。

原來最天然、最安全的防蚊方法是隨身可得的,且不用花錢去買哦。

How to reduce the discomfort from dry eye?

2008-11-05T06:04:00.000-08:00

-Good hydration: Drink plenty of water, reduce caffeine intake.
-Protect the eyes from harsh weather conditions like wind and dust.
-Environmental control (minimize impact of heat and air-conditioning by turning down, redirecting vents, etc.)
- Avoid smoky environments or quitting smoking if you smoke.
- Identify and replace (if possible) medications which are causing exacerbating dry eye.
-When watching TV, using the computer or other eye straining activities, take breaks.
- Make a conscious effort to blink frequently- especially when reading.
- Eat healthy food containing eye nutrients especially with vitamin A, C and E.

Bra & Breast Cancer Study (Brief)

2008-11-01T02:59:00.001-07:00

These studies would have been most credible if it were not for the fact that several women including Linda McCartney who have been religious vegetarians and exercise- freaks have also been unfortunate in suffering breast cancer.

Perhaps the most convincing article I have ever read with regards to this matter is one which links breast cancer to the wearing of bras. In the "Bra and Breast Cancer Study" in the United States, It was discovered that women with breast cancer had a history of sporting tighter and longer bra-wearing than did the women who had not (yet) developed the disease.

In fact, virtually the entire cancer group wore bras over 12 hours. When a woman wears a tight bra, she subjects her breasts to pressure, closing off the lymphatic pathway from the breast to the nodes. This causes fluid built-up swelling, tenderness and cyst formation. Toxins must be flushed out via the lymphatic. However, a bra-constricted breast cannot adequately perform this cleansing process, resulting in toxin accumulation in the breast.

Truthfully, bras are creating droopy, weak breasts. The breast relies on the bras for artificial support; the body loses its ability to support the breast by itself. This is why many women feel uncomfortable without the bra.

What is the solution to breast cancer then? DON'T WEAR A TIGHT BRA! And maybe sleep without them.

There is a remarkable success rate for recovery from fibrocystic breast disease within 10 days to two weeks of going bra-free. Many women have tried going bra-less and recorded a miraculous improvement in their health! Bra burning is no longer a feminist issue. It is now a battle between life and death. We should make others more aware of the hazards of wearing them. -Anonymous

What treatments are available to treat dry eye symptoms?

2008-10-29T06:02:00.000-07:00

For those patients with mild to moderate dry eyes the first course of treatment may be to use unpreserved artificial tears or rewetting drops as prescribed by the doctor. Depending on the nature of your tear film deficiency, the doctor may have you use a specific type of artificial tear that has different characteristics in terms of salt content and viscosity.

In addition to artificial tears, your doctor may suggest the need to switch to a less irritating or preservative free lens care system. These are specially formulated lens lubricating and rewetting drops specifically designed for contact lens wearers because other types of drops may contain ingredients that can damage the lens. Rewetting drops for contact lens wearers are usually not as thick as gels and are designed to provide relief and long-lasting lubrication to help retain moisture. Most doctors recommend preservative-free tears because they are the most soothing and have fewer additives that could potentially irritate the eye. Avoid products that are irritating to the eyes- they don’t have adequate lubricating qualities and often make the problem worse.

Protein removal is also an important issue, especially for patients with CLIDE. In heavily depositing persons with less frequently replaced lenses, regular enzyme treatments are advised. Daily wear lenses and daily disposables will be a good option. In severe cases, a reduced wearing schedule of daily-replaced lenses would be ideal. If optically viable, your doctor may consider changing your lens to a high water content lens that retains water in the lens matrix or an RGP lens with a low amount of silicone content.

In addition, your doctor may counsel you on environment factors and modifying the diet. Most likely you will be asked to drink plenty of water.

Marco’s comment:
If symptoms persists, it is advisable to opt for eyeglasses.

Plants for a healthier living

2008-10-27T06:27:00.000-07:00

The side effects and dangers of air pollution are commonly known by the general public. However only a minority understands that indoor air pollution is at least 10 times higher than the outdoor, as shown by a research. Through experiments, it is proven that indoor gardening can effectively reduce or eliminate indoor air pollution.

Indoor sterilization
Plants absorb the toxic gasses, lampblack and radiation at home. Indoor plants help enhance ventilation and eliminate odour. A research by NASA shows that an indoor plant can eliminate 90% of formaldehyde in one cubic meter space. (Formaldehyde is commonly found in furniture, cigarettes, cosmetics, clothing and others. Pollution of formaldehyde can cause skin disease, skin cancer, discomfort of eyes, nose and throat, emotional instability, memory loss etc.)

Reduce indoor dust & micro-organism
Cilium, hair and mucus on plants are able to absorb the dust in air. Vapour from leaves through the process of respiration helps to increase moisture level and reduce room temperature. When dust integrates with vapour, the weight of that combination increases and causes the dust to subside. Thus, it is able to reduce the amount of dust in the air. Studies show that indoor planting reduces 20% to 70% of dust.

Ensure good indoor air ventilation
Carbon dioxide (CO2) released by plans at night is only 20% of the volume plants absorb in the day time. This shows that plants release a small amount of CO2 at night and it is not harmful to our health. However, there are some plants that absorb CO2 and release oxygen at night, such as the cactus and Sansevieria. These plants if place indoor will help regulate indoor air ventilation. -Baba

How are dry eyes diagnosed?

2008-10-22T05:57:00.000-07:00

If you suspect you have dry eyes on wearing contact lenses, you should make an appointment to see your eye doctor. Your historical information gives the most reliable clues to the diagnosis of dry eyes. A careful examination of all the eye tissues usually provides more documentation for making a diagnosis.

While assessing for CLIDE your doctor will document your comprehensive contact lens history. He will evaluate whether the lens has been worn daily or extended overnight. Your doctor may need to ensure that you are not sleeping in lenses approved for daily wear, as this can lead to CLIDE. Environment factor such as humidity, closer to heating or air conditioning duct may aggravate CLIDE.

Your eyes may be examined using a special microscope called a slit lamp. The condition of the tear film (the layer of liquid) on your eyes is looked at, and the cornea (front of the eye) is checked to see if it has dried out, or has been damaged. Your doctor may also use different dyes to see if skin cells on the eye have worn away. The dye is put in your eye as an eye drop, and the dye will temporarily stain the eye where cells have worn away.

A test called the Schirmer test may also be carried out. A thin strip of filter paper is placed just inside the lower eyelid. After a few minutes, the paper is then removed to see how much liquid it has soaked up. Your doctor can then measure how dry your eyes are.

怎麼樣才能不喝到「毒奶」？

2008-10-18T15:36:00.000-07:00

中國毒奶粉的事件讓大家都很害怕每天看新聞報導，說法卻變來變去。沒有人清楚告訴我們到底什麼可以吃？什麼不能吃？這時候該怎麼辦呢？

1.毒奶粉到底是什麼？

就是「三聚氰胺」。這是化工實驗室裡的「三聚氰胺」。

三聚氰胺」原本是做什麼用的呢？它是一種工業原料主要是用來製作「美耐皿」碗盤。

還有家裡裝潢一定會用到的「美耐板」。

「三聚氰胺」是一種工業原料，根本就不能吃！

2. 為什麼「三聚氰胺」會出現在奶粉裡？

奶粉是由牛奶製成的，牛奶最重要的營養成份就是蛋白質。「三聚氰胺」跟蛋白質一樣含有「氮」。偷加「三聚氰胺」，製造廠商可以省下牛奶的用量、降低成本。下面都是「三聚氰胺」，是不是跟奶粉很像？它沒有味道，所以不容易發現。

3.是怎麼發現的？

2007年- 美國貓、狗暴斃，在中國製的寵物食品裡發現「三聚氰胺」。

2008年開始, 中國嬰兒腎結石病例異常增多。

2008年8月, 中國三鹿奶粉被檢驗出「三聚氰胺」。

2008年9月, 紐西蘭總理要求中國政府處理。

2008年9月21日, 台灣爆發多種食品含有「三聚氰胺」。

4.吃「三聚氰胺」會怎麼樣？

「三聚氰胺」結晶會留在腎裡面，形成結石，堵塞腎小管。結石很痛很痛，結石的人尿不出來，腎臟會水腫。

雖然結石可以動手術拿掉，卻會對腎臟造成不可恢復的傷害，到最後腎臟失去功能，就必須洗腎，否則很快就會因為尿毒症死亡。洗腎是什麼呢？其實正確來說，應該叫做「洗血」就是把身體全部血液，抽到外面繞一圈，經過機器過濾再送回去。

整個過程大約4個小時。嚴重的人，三天就要洗腎一次，一直到死亡。

洗腎的地方長這樣子。

為什麼嬰兒最嚴重呢？因為腎臟很小，此外，嬰兒只喝奶粉，所以腎壞掉的速度是最快的。給大家看嬰兒洗腎的照片。

中國目前已經有5萬4千個受害的嬰兒住院「三聚氰胺」吃多會急性腎衰竭死亡，吃少會慢慢腎結石、腎病變它會在人體內累積。並不是吃多少的問題，而是一點點都不能吃！

5.哪些東西不能吃?

只要原料中有「奶精」或「奶粉」的，都可能遭到汙染。包括這些:

大家只要記住：有「奶精」、「奶粉」的，都不能吃 6.毒奶事件影響到哪些廠商？下面這些，是毒奶事件爆發以來曾經被報導過，跟毒奶事件有關的廠商、產品。

另外，這些公司也受到影響：大潤發大賣場、亞信、佳美、上田、特順香、老大房、台威食品公司、高育生物科技公司、雲林北港宗泰食品、尚效、品高、久津、維益食品公司、真口味、維士比、盛發興實業、華盛食品、鴻寶食品、雀實食品、奕瑪國際行銷、寶佳宏企業、三錦企業、魏氏國際實業、國際儲貿、萬記貿易、力遠貿易、丞泰企業、昱彰公司、麒林公司、同興實業、英時公司、菲仕蘭、開元如果你有親友在中國大陸，必須注意的廠商有：河北三鹿集團、上海熊貓可寶牌、青島聖元牌、山西古城牌、江西光明英雄牌、陝西寶雞惠明牌、內蒙古蒙牛牌、天津多加多可淇牌、廣東雅士利牌、湖南南山倍益牌、黑龍江齊寧牌、山西雅士利牌、深圳金必氏牌、廣州施恩牌、廣州金鼎牌、內蒙古伊利牌、山東煙台澳美多牌、青島愛可丁牌、陝西西安御寶牌、山東煙台磊磊牌、上海寶安力牌、福建福鼎市晨冠牌。

7.以後該怎麼辦？

至少半年不要吃可能遭到汙染的產品。如果你的家人是開早餐店、小吃店、餐廳，請告訴他們，暫時停止使用、販賣奶製品。如果你家有嬰兒，請改喝母奶、或尋找其他代替品。

不要喝留放在車子裡頭的塑膠瓶裝水

2008-10-18T04:38:00.000-07:00

這就是謝莉 • 克羅得乳腺癌的原因。她在上艾倫的節目裡提到這是千真萬確的事情。這已經被鑑定是罹患乳腺癌裡的高危險因素中最常見的原因了, 尤其是在澳洲地區。

有位朋友的母親最近才被診斷出乳腺癌。醫生告訴她︰婦女實在不應該喝留放在汽車裡的瓶裝水。

這醫生還說熱能和塑膠瓶子兩者遇在一起就會產生化學物質 , 而那些將會導致人們罹患乳腺癌。因此請小心並且千萬不要喝留放在車子裡頭的瓶裝水 . 請把這信息傳遞給你生命中的所有女性親友。這是一則或許可以拯救一個生命的訊息 , 我們不只應該知道, 而且要多加小心。

熱能釋放出塑膠裡的有毒物質後 , 這些物質就滲入到了水裡頭,而人們的胸部組織裡頭竟然就發現了這種毒素。所以如果可以的話,切記改用不鏽鋼杯或是玻璃瓶。

What are the symptoms of dry eyes?

2008-10-15T05:51:00.000-07:00

If you wear contact lenses, you may find they become uncomfortable. Both eyes are usually affected. Symptoms include:

- Irritation in the eyes.
- The eyes may feel sandy or gritty.
- Foreign body sensation, burning, and/ or itching.
- Slight blurring of vision from time to time.
- Light sensitivity.
- Excessive tearing.

Will dry eye affect eye sight?
Dry eye on its own should have no effect on vision; it does not cause permanent sight loss. There may be some temporary blurring of vision but this is normally relieved by blinking.

Understanding contact lens induced dry eyes

2008-10-08T05:47:00.000-07:00

The two types of contact lenses most often used today are soft lenses and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lenses. The softness in a contact lens comes from the amount of water that the lenses contain, and they feel pliable rather than hard. Because they provide more oxygen to the eye, people usually find them comfortable right away. RGP lenses are hard lenses that let in at least as much oxygen as do soft lenses.

A contact lens placed on the eye does not merely rest on top of the tear film but is immersed within it. The cornea, which usually receives direct oxygen from the atmosphere, now gets only diffused airing. Correct design and fitting of the lenses are essential for comfort, safety and accurate correction. Improvements in contact lenses have made them more comfortable and easier to wear.

People suffering from CLIDE usually have adequate tear quantity and quality under normal condition, however when eye is stressed- in this case, by the introduction of contact lens, may experience a symptomatic dry eye state. It is also believed that contact lens across the surface of the cornea may result in a less stable tear film and contact lens induced dry eye symptoms. A RGP lenses especially reduces blink rate leading to enhancing evaporation and leading to dry eyes. Contact lens induced dry eye also occurs in some people who may have had a marginally dry eye before they were fit with contact lenses or may actually be the result of contact lens wear.

Will dry eye affect eye sight?
Dry eye on its own should have no effect on vision; it does not cause permanent sight loss. There may be some temporary blurring of vision but this is normally relieved by blinking.

Marco’s comment:
Working class works 5 days a week and 8 hours a day, with consideration of travelling hours, one may have wear a contact lens for continuous more than 8 hours per day for 5 days in a week.

If you have dry eyes problem, try not wearing contact lens for more than continuously 4 hours a day.

Stool flow interrupted

2008-10-04T22:04:00.000-07:00

Regular bowel movement is the comfortable passage (without straining) of well-formed stools (neither too hard, nor too soft) once every day or every two to three days without the use of laxatives, or other interventions.

Bowel function is unique and varies from individual to individual. Some people move their bowels three times a day, others three times a week. But there are many who suffer from difficult bowel movement and become constipated.

For most of us, constipation is commonly caused by a lack of fibre in the diet. For others, it may result from repeatedly ignoring the urge to go and holding the stool in.

People who ignore the urge may eventually stop feeling it, which can lead to constipation.

Some people delay having a bowel movement because they do not want to use toilets outside the home. Others ignore the urge because of emotional stress or because they are too busy.

Children may postpone a bowel movement because of stressful toilet training or because they do not want to interrupt their play.

Generally, there are six factors leading to constipation:

Not enough liquids
Liquids like water and juice add fluid to the colon and bulk to the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass. Without adequate fluid intake, stool becomes hard and constipation is more likely to occur.

Lack of exercise
Exercise and movement stimulate bowel activity and helps to maintain colon muscle tone. Lack of it can lead to constipation.

Medications
Pain medications (especially narcotics), antacids that contain aluminium, antidepressants, iron supplements and diuretics can slow the passage of bowel movements.

Irritable bowel syndrome
Many people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), also known as spastic colon, have irregular bowel movements. Constipation and diarrhoea often alternate, and abdominal cramping, gassiness, and bloating are common complaints.

Changes in life or routine
During pregnancy, women may be constipated due to hormonal changes or the heavy uterus compressing the intestine. Ageing may also affect bowel regularity because of a slower metabolism results in less intestinal activity and muscle tone. In addition, travelling sometimes disrupts bowel movement due to a change in diet and not drinking enough water.

Abuse of laxatives
Serious abuse of stimulant laxatives, especially among older adults who are preoccupied with having a daily bowel movement, can lead to constipation and other complications.

Laxatives are usually prescribed by doctors only after considering the patient’s medical history, medications one may be taking, and other health conditions the patient may have.

Doctors prescribe laxatives either to solve a medical symptom or to prepare for a medical exam such as colonoscopy. However, it does not solve the root cause of the problem.

Laxatives can promote dependency especially when used long term. It can also cause imbalances in bodily fluids that may lead to other complications.

Over time, stimulant laxatives can damage nerve cells in the colon and interfere with its natural ability to contract.

Six muscular actions play a part in fluid absorption, particle cohesion, stool formation, stool transit, and stool passage (defecation). If these muscles become weak, stool transit is slowed.

The colon can become insensitive, intestinal motivity can slow, normal processes fail, and chronic constipation can develop.

Excessive use may lead to abdominal pain, intestinal bleeding, headaches, dehydration, weight loss and even damage to other organs.

Other reported side effects are confusion, irregular heartbeat, muscle cramps, skin rash, unusual tiredness or weakness, belching, cramping, diarrhoea and nausea.

When it comes to choosing a detoxification product, one should avoid those with harsh laxatives such as senna leaves, cascara sagrada and ‘ma huang’.

Use of senna and sennosides come with a higher risk of water loss, which could easily be misconstrued as weight loss.

There are easier ways to get your bowel moving regularly. Moderate exercise is helpful for maintaining regularity and good health. Also respond when nature calls quickly as possible.

If you are not getting the urge, try going to the toilet 45 minutes after every meal. Get comfortable and gently massage your abdomen with your palm in a circular motion to encourage flow.

Fast facts to know why do we get dry eyes?

2008-10-04T05:38:00.000-07:00

The name “dry eye” can be a little confusing since one of the most common symptoms is excessive watering of the eyes! It makes more sense, though, when you learn that the eye makes two different types of tears. The first type, called lubricating tears, is produced slowly and steadily throughout the day. Lubricating tears contain a precise balance of mucous, water, oil, nutrient proteins, and antibodies that nourish and protect the front surface of the eye.

The second type of tear, called a reflex tear, does not have much lubricating value. Reflex tears serve as a kind of emergency response to flood the eye when it is suddenly irritated or injured. Reflex tears might occur when you get something in your eye, when you’re cutting onions, when you’re around smoke, or when you accidentally scratch your eye. Another cause of reflex tearing is irritation of the eye from lack if lubricating tears. If your eye is not producing enough lubricating tears, you may have dry eye.

Hormonal changes due to aging and menopause, thyroid problems and vitamin deficiencies can contribute to increasing dry eyes. Some diseases and conditions- like rheumatoid arthritis, menopause, lupus and Sjögren’s Syndrome- also cause dry eye in many patients.

Pinhole Eyeglasses

2008-10-01T22:55:00.000-07:00

Prescription spectacle had come to my life since I was just 7-year-old due to Myopia (near sightedness) and astigmatism. Childhood likes computing, watching TV, video gaming, reading and writing has worsened my eyes condition.

My eyes sights were further worsened during my college time where in order to meet the assignments, projects and thesis submission deadlines; we were focusing at the computer screen in long hour days and nights.

Thus, I am very keen in finding ways and means to improve my eyes condition. Efforts that I have put in includes minimise activities like watching television, do not read in the dark, wearing computer lenses and massaging my eyes.

But all the efforts can’t really help much due to city lifestyle. As working adult, our eyes are focusing at the computer screen during working hour. Back from work, majorities of the city folks will further strained our eyes starring at television screen, computer monitor, reading, and so forth.

Even with prescription eyeglasses, we feel tired after reading newspaper or watching TV screen because constant close up focusing causes the strain at our eyes. This answers that why after reading newspaper, we tend to fall asleep easier. It is because our eyes are constantly stressed during the reading activity.

Now, we have an alternative that allow us to read, write, play video game, computing and watching television without stressing our eyes. I have got myself a pair of pinhole eyeglasses a week ago; I uses the pinhole glasses to watch television, blogging and reading newspaper.

To my surprise, even without the prescription eyeglasses my vision is perfect with the pinhole glasses. Besides, I feel very relax after reading, watching television and computing. In the past, I just feel tired and my eyes were strained after these activities.

It is a good start indeed, hopefully in long run; the pinhole glasses could make positive correction on my myopia and astigmatism condition.

A型肝炎的禍首:青蔥及香菜

2008-09-29T00:38:00.000-07:00

最近數起A型肝炎的食品中毒事件,禍首竟然是青蔥。

青蔥最好別生吃,在顯微鏡下有好多噁心的虫虫。
沒錯,以前修microbiology 時,在顯微鏡下, 看過蔥管內有好多噁心的虫虫..蛋蛋...。

還有:香菜也是(常見大量 fungus), 而且與香菜同保存的食物也會遭到染污 ,而且更噁''''。

所以奉勸愛生吃香菜、青蔥的姊妹們,先把牠燙死再吃!

飲食衛生青蔥最好別生吃。

中國人愛吃脆皮烤鴨, 往往將脆皮烤鴨肉包著生的青蔥段裹著甜麵醬吃; 吃炒米粉、貢丸湯、肉羹湯、麵湯、餛飩湯、火鍋料理、燒烤料理及魚肉料理時,也免不了要來點兒青蔥花提味。

中國人生吃青蔥的機會實在太多了, 麵攤、火鍋店,各個餐廳? VIP房裡索性就擺一大碗青蔥花,讓消費者自行取用, 但是,愛吃青蔥花的人在下箸前可得三思了, 因為美國食品藥物管理局日前呼籲消費者注意, 最近數起 A型肝炎的食品中毒事件,禍首竟然是青蔥。

A型肝炎病毒是一種肝臟疾病, 通常在感染A型肝炎病毒六週後會有症狀, 輕微者是發燒、腹瀉、噁心、嘔吐、無食慾、腹痛、疲倦、皮膚變黃。嚴重者則引發為肝臟疾病。

美國食品藥物管理局建議消費者應將青蔥放入鍋中加蓋完全煮熟,或在烹煮魚、肉類或其他料理放入青蔥時,也應將青蔥完全煮熟後再吃, 以降低罹患 A型肝炎的風險。

Air out your car before turning on air conditioner

2008-09-27T19:55:00.000-07:00

According to research done by a U.C., the car dashboard, sofa, air freshener will emit Benzene, a cancer causing toxin (carcinogen). In addition to causing cancer, it poisons your bones, causes anemia, and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia, increasing the risk of cancer. May also cause miscarriage.

Acceptable Benezene level indoors is 50 mg per sq. ft. A car parked indoors with the windows closed will contain 400-800 mg of Benezene. If parked outdoors under the sun at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benezene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. The people inside the car will inevitably inhale an excess amount of the toxin.

It is recommended that you open the windows and door to give time for the interior to air out before you enter. Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidney and liver, and is difficult for your body to expel.

隔夜的疲勞最傷身
雖然睡了很長一段時間，但早晨還是起不來，頭昏腦脹的，這就表示前一天的疲勞還沒完全的清除。要想活得久、還要活得好，一定要記得「今天的疲勞，今天消除」！針對身體不同器官不同部位，消除疲勞各有方法，但就整體來說，排便和脹氣，是非常基本又重要的兩件大事。

每天都要上廁所
就健康管理而言，「排便」是一件很重要的體內「信息」。如果不把體內廢物排除，身體就不能充分攝取新的食物，所以在廁所內看報紙、雜誌和抽菸是最要不得的。莊博士曾針對罹患肺癌和大腸癌的患者做過調查，有在排便時抽菸看書報習慣的，佔了壓倒性的多數。

不在體內堆廢氣
莊博士所注重的是放屁和打嗝等體內脹氣。所謂「體內脹氣」就是指因消化活動、基礎代謝等產生的廢物，以及經由呼吸道進入體內的空氣。脹氣在一定程度下是沒有什麼問題的，但如果是由不規則生活或偏差的飲食生活及壓力，使消化活動減退，而產生大量的廢氣，那麼，想把廢氣排出體外就會變得不順利了。莊博士過去在醫院服務時，曾診察過八位被認為很健康、卻在睡眠中驟死的「暴卒病」患者，解剖時都發現他們的胃囊異常膨脹，再追蹤他們生前的生活習性，發現他們長年累月不吃早餐，因為工作忙碌，午餐也不能慢慢吃，一天的營養都靠晚餐來補給，以致
大吃大喝後很快就去睡。而人在熟睡中，吃下的食物卻吸收了胃液和水分而膨脹、發酵，產生的廢氣使胃鼓脹，壓迫肺或心臟，才導致「暴卒病」的發作。所以避免在睡前暴飲暴食，不要製造和堆積廢氣在體內，是保有健康很重要的一步。

晚餐前洗澡消疲勞
莊博士指出，洗澡能暖和身體，促進血液循環，改善大腸蠕動，排出體內廢氣，對消除疲勞很有幫助，她並建議「最好在晚餐前入浴」。入浴前若是肚子很餓，不妨先慢慢的喝下一杯蔬菜汁或果汁，稍微休息一下，再去洗澡。如果一定要在飯後洗澡，最好能在兩小時後再入浴。因為要消化吃下去的食物，血液會集中在消化器官，如果馬上洗澡，血液就會擴散到全身，妨礙腸胃的功能，造成廢氣滯留體內，有時會壓迫到心臟，是很危險的。

莊博士建議的入浴方法是「三段式入浴法」
首先浸泡到膝蓋以下三分鐘，雙手及兩肘可放入水中，按摩腳踝；然後坐下，讓水淹過肚臍，大約浸泡三分鐘；最後全身坐入浴缸，依照各人喜好浸泡。至於洗澡水的溫度，以在攝氏41至43度的水溫中沐浴，最能消除疲勞。平均來說，入浴時間以10至20分鐘最理想。

Be aware of your own breasts

2008-09-20T23:29:00.000-07:00

Start routine breast self examinations as early as 20 years of age especially if you have a family history of breast cancer (grandmother, mother, aunt, sister). You need to examine your breasts two to three days after the end of your period every month. Look out for:
-Lumps or any change in breast size or shape
-Swelling, redness and warmth or dimpling of the skin
-Nipple discharge
-Pain that isn’t related to your menstrual cycle

For the correct technique on how to do a breast self examination, do consult your doctor or you can get tips from the Breast Cancer Welfare Association at (+603-7949 2093).

Choosing a doctor whom you are comfortable with
Women must see their family doctor or gynaecologist regularly, at least once a year for all important PAP smear and breast examination. Early detection of gynaecological related cancers can save your life. The choice of a male or female doctor is entirely up to you- most importantly, he or she must make you feel comfortable.

When you do visit your doctor be sure be enquire about which test you should do (depending on your age, risk factors, family history etc).

What is a urinary tract infection (UTI) and what causes it?

2008-09-17T00:31:00.000-07:00

Urinary tract infection is the term given to an infection in any part of the urinary system. UTI occurs when part of the urinary tract becomes infected, usually with bacteria, and is common in women who are sexually active. The most common type of UTI is known as cystitis (inflammation of the bladder). It has been estimated that one third of women experience the symptoms of cystitis at some point in their life.

What are its symptoms?
When you have a UTI, the bladder and the lining of the urethra become red and inflamed. Common symptoms related to UTIs may include:

- A burning sensation or lower abdominal discomfort when you pass urine.
- Needing to urinate urgently.
- Passing urine much more frequently than usual
- “Leaking” urine.
- Feeling an urge to urinate, but being unable to or only passing a few drops.
- Foul smelling urine.
- Urine that is cloudy, bloody or dark.
- Having a temperature.

You can do your part to prevent UTIs by:

- Drinking lots of water.
- Urinating as soon as you feel the need- don’t hold it.
- Make sure you have adequate lubrication during sex, and urinate after having sex.
- Take vitamin C or cranberry juice- they are said to be urinary antiseptics.
- Keep your intimate area clean and dry because dampness promotes bacterial growth.
- Try using panty liners with antibacterial properties.
- Cleanse your intimate area daily with a mild a pH-balanced solution.

有效的消滅癌細胞

2008-09-15T08:20:00.000-07:00

在弱鹼性體質的狀態下，癌細胞是無法生長、甚至是無法生存的。

三十多年前有一位服務於公賣局台北啤酒廠的張先生，參加該啤酒場選派技術人員到國外深造的考試，以優異的成績及格。在出國前經某公立醫院體檢發現，罹患有像小孩拳頭大小的肺部腫瘤，因而不能出國。

張先生非常失望之餘，一直懷疑診斷有誤；於是再到另一家醫院檢查，結果還是證實原來的診斷並無錯誤。

當時年輕力壯的張先生得到這樣的絕症，在人生絕望之餘，多次打電話給當時任職台東縣政府黃順興縣長機要秘書的魏姓同學。

魏姓同學便利用星期日趕到台北和張先生見面，張先生向魏同學詳述相關絕望的詳情和悲觀感受，並請位同學協助其後事，恰逢魏同學與前任馬偕醫院院長1949－55年專精於癌症臨床研究的呂革令博士係知交好友。

當即建議前往訪求呂博士醫治，起初張先生說不願再看醫生，以免徒增傷悲；但魏同學說先前已以電話請教過呂博士並安排好時間，張先生只好偕同前往呂博士住處造訪。

呂博士和張先生見面就說：「魏先生是我的好友，介紹你和我認識是我們緣份，感謝。我請教你：『癌為什麼叫絕症，你可知道嗎？』」

張先生和魏先生都不知道如何作答。

呂博士又說：「人類醫治癌症到目前為止只有兩條路，第一條路是消滅病源，第二條路是增加抵抗力。但很奇怪的是，癌無論用鈷60或其他藥物去消滅癌細胞，可是癌細胞還沒被消滅，好的細胞卻先被殺死。另無論用什麼營養、補藥，好的細胞還未吸收，癌細胞卻先吸收、讓癌長得更快；因此可說上述兩條路都行不通、所以叫絕症。」

呂博士又說：「人類的聰明連登陸月球也都已經成功，但為什麼沒有人去懷疑上述兩條治癌的路是在鑽牛角尖，另外找第三條路？我以往在馬偕醫院做癌症临床實驗，並得院內各部同仁協助的機會，我發現癌症病人血液檢查的結果百分之百都是酸性反應。長期素食、且生活接近自然的佛寺僧尼，由於體質都偏屬優質弱鹼性，所以尚沒有發現罹患癌症的病例。因此我大膽的斷定在弱鹼性體質的狀態下，癌細胞是無法生長、甚至是無法生存的。張先生我建議你從現在起少吃酸性的葷食類，多吃鹼性食物，另外可吃綠藻和帶殼菱角湯，改變你的體質，並勵行接近自然的良好生活規律；如果五年內不死、你就沒問題了，祝福你。」

張先生依照呂博士的建議，認真改變吃的習慣，每天又吃綠藻、喝菱角湯，樂觀加上每天適當的運動，一年後再到同一公立醫院檢查結果，發現腫瘤不但沒有長大、反而已呈現萎縮狀態，遂令醫院檢查人員驚為奇蹟，五年後竟完全處於萎縮、至近於消失狀態。

經過了將近四十年歲月，現在張先生的健康情況完全正常，生活起居甚為愉快。

繼張先生之後，有位前台東省立醫院總務課長陳添壽先生，同樣得到肺癌；魏先生得知後將張先生的經過轉告陳添壽先生，陳先生乃依照呂博士的建議進行改變體質，結果與張先生同樣癒癌症。

那時呂博士全家已移民美國，事後呂博士回來台灣再與魏先生見面時魏先生將張先生和陳先生的經過告訴呂博士，並提議由他們倆位親自向呂博士陳述，請呂博士發表其改變體質之自療成果報告。

呂博士謙虛地回答說：
我年事已大，且沒有臨床紀錄不能做為成果。請魏先生轉告親友，如果友人認同的話，請他們繼續做體驗並廣為宣導。」

關心自己也要關心別人，85﹪癌症病患屬於酸性體質

＊健康人的血液是成弱鹼性的，約是pH7.35～7.45左右

＊嬰兒也是屬於弱鹼性的體質
＊成長期的成人有體質酸化的現象

根據一項六百位癌症病人體液分佈的研究，顯示85﹪癌症病患屬於酸性體質。

因此，如何使體質維持在弱鹼性就是遠離疾病的第一步。

酸性體質的生理表徵

1.皮膚無光澤。

2.香港腳。

3. 稍做運動即感疲勞，一上公車便想睡覺。

4.上下樓梯容易氣喘。

5.肥胖、下腹突出。

6. 步伐緩慢、動作遲緩。

為什麼會形成酸性體質？

1. 過度攝取乳酸性食品

a) 肉類、乳酪製品與蛋、牛肉、火腿等皆屬於酸性食品。

b)攝取過量的酸性食品血液會傾向酸性而變黏稠，不易流到細血管的末稍，而易造成手腳或膝蓋的冷寒症，以及肩膀僵硬和失眠等。

c) 年輕力壯時吃適量的肉類是對的，但老年人則以蔬菜或小魚為宜。

2. 生活步調失常會造成酸性體質

a) 生活步調失常會造成精神與肉體的壓力。

b) 據統計，晚睡者罹患癌症的機率比正常人高出五倍。

c) 人類本來就活在節奏的世界裡，無法事先儲備睡眠或飲食，也不能日夜顛倒。

d)人體內臟受自律神經控制，白天主要是交感神經活動，晚上則由副交感神經工作，若使其錯亂及倒置，就亦百病滋生。

3. 情緒過於緊張

a) 文明社會會造成的壓力。

b) 工作上或精神上的壓力。

c) 當一個人承受精神壓力後，一旦緊張鬆弛，時會造成猝死，稱為潛在性副腎皮質機能不全症。

4. 肉體的緊張

a)動手術之前應先檢查腎上腺皮質機能是否正常。如果副腎皮質機能較差，或手術壓力遠超過副腎調整功能，則可能造成病人死亡或其他不良影響。

b) 若發現病患臉部浮腫，需詳加詢問病史及服藥狀況，為長期服用腎上腺皮質賀爾蒙者，施以針灸要特別注意反應。

c) 勞動或運動過度，通宵打牌、開車等壓力都應盡量避免。

＊附錄：常見食物的酸鹼性

1.強酸性食品：蛋黃、乳酪、白糖做的西點或柿子、烏魚子、柴魚等。

2.中酸性食品：火腿、培根、雞肉、鮪魚、豬肉、鰻魚、牛肉、麵包、小麥、奶油、馬肉等。

3.弱酸性食品：白米、落花生、啤酒、酒、油炸豆腐、海苔、文蛤、章魚、泥鰍。

4.弱鹼性食品：紅豆、蘿蔔、蘋果、甘藍菜、洋蔥、豆腐等。

5.中鹼性食品：蘿蔔乾、大豆、紅蘿蔔、蕃茄、香蕉、橘子、南瓜、草莓、蛋白、梅乾、檸檬、菠菜等。

6. 強鹼性食品：葡萄、茶葉、葡萄酒、海帶芽、海帶等。尤其是天然綠藻富含葉綠素，是不錯的鹼性健康食品，而茶類不宜過量，最佳飲用時間為早上。

Dealing with vaginal discharge

2008-09-13T07:05:00.000-07:00

The amount of normal discharge varies from woman to woman, and with the menstrual cycle. Many women notice that, during the week following a period, there is hardly any discharge, and what there is, has a thick consistency. Towards the middle the cycle (about 2 weeks after the start of the period) the amount increases and it becomes thin, slippery and clear, like uncooked egg white. There may also be a feeling of moistness and stickiness. Normal discharge does not smell, and does not cause any irritation or itching.

What’s not normal
1. A discharge is likely to be abnormal if:

2. It smells fishy.

3. It is thick and white, like cottage cheese.

4. It is greenish and smells foul.

5. There is blood in it (except when you have a period)

6. It is itchy

7. You have any genital sores or ulcers

8. You have abnormal pain or pain on intercourse

9. It started soon after you had unprotected sex with someone you suspect could have a sexually transmitted infection/ disease. (STD)

What to do if you have vaginal discharge
1. For any vaginal problem, you must take care to avoid substances that may cause more irritation.

2. During a period, change tampons or sanitary pads frequently (at least two or three times a day).

3. Talk to your partner. Ask if he has any discharge from the urethra (the opening at the end of the penis) or any soreness or irritation of the penis. If his answer is ‘yes’, or if there is any reason to think that he might have a sexually transmitted infection, he should go to a doctor for a check-up. Do not have sex until the problem has been sorted out.

4. If your discharge is thick and white and itchy, it may be thrust, so you could try an anti-thrush cream or tablet from a pharmacist. Do not persist with an anti-thrust cream from the pharmacist if the problem does not resolve within a day or two. Make an appointment to see your family doctor and have the problem cleared up.

Perilous Printer?

2008-09-08T07:02:00.000-07:00

The source of this article is from Reader’s Digest, December 2007, written by Patricia Curtis.

Maybe the content of it explains why there is high percentage people nowadays are suffers from cancer disease. In my opinion, it has got to do with the modern living environment from one’s home and office.

If you are working in the office environment and sits near to laser printer, laser facsimile, digital copier and other office automation equipments that consume toner, you may already expose yourself to the risk that caused health problem.

Suggestions:
Put some potted plants around the printers.
Keep distance between the printers with workstations.
Instead of owning laser facsimile, printer and copier, get the all-in-one multi function printer, for example Canon MF4150, MF4270 (network ready), etc.

Article: Perilous Printer

I thought paper jams were a pain, but your printer may actually affect your health: An Australian study looked at 62 office laser printers in constant use and found that 17 emitted high levels of ultra fine particles into the air. Long documents and dense photos are the worst offenders. The particles are the same size as those from cigarette smoke and car exhaust and can get into your lungs, says coauthor Lidia Morawska, PhD.

But don’t panic, says Rich Sextro, PhD, of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. “Candles and cooking also produce similar particles, but we really don’t understand the health effects of ultra fine particle inhalation.” If anything, the flecks have been linked to respiratory problems, but we don’t know if it’s the composition of the particles, the amount or something else that causes problems. “Would I throw away my laser printer? I think the answer is no. Would I make sure I didn’t have one that got used a lot in a small room without much ventilation? Yes, I’d probably pay attention to that. But more research is needed, so it’s way to early to worry.”

In any case, printers emit particles only when they spit out pages. To be safe, move yours to a ventilated area.

Belly dancing to fitness

2008-09-01T01:44:00.000-07:00

There is something exotic and sensual about belly dancing. Considered one of the oldest forms of social dance in the world, it is now one of the fun ways to get good workout.

Belly dancing provides you a good cardiovascular workout. You can increase your body’s flexibility and strengthen the ‘core muscles’, which is the torso.

Belly dance also emphasizes muscular ‘isolations’: you gain ability to move various muscles independently. Apart from the torso, you can build strength in your legs from the movements you make and also work the arms, shoulders and fingers while you sway.

As a form of exercise, belly dancing can burn as many calories as jogging, swimming or riding a bike. You also have fun doing it especially when there is exotic music playing in the background.

Belly dancing is less strenuous on the body and definitely more entertaining as compared to lifting weights or sitting on a bike.

If you seriously follow the proper techniques and practice belly dance, you will gain really toned muscles, especially in the tummy area. It will give you great hips, protect your inner organs and slim down the gut and tummy.

Say NO to Passive Smoking 3

2008-08-30T04:56:00.000-07:00

I have visited to Berjaya Times Square, Kuala Lumpur yesterday evening. After came out from the Canon EOS Professional shop, I was having my dinner at Secret Recipe, 3rd floor.

While I was relaxing myself and thinking of getting a new Canon EOS 1000D Digital SLR for photography as well as snap shots of pictures for my blogs, some strong irritating passive cigarette smokes appeared

These two gentlemen were puffing at the air-conditioned area, and just below the “No Smoking

Warning Sign”. I wonder in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur, they are still people who are so selfish and ignorance against acts and laws.

If you hate passive smoking, please share this site to your friends.

Get moving and tone up

2008-08-25T15:29:00.000-07:00

Strength training increases your metabolism. Muscle burns more fuel (kilojoules and calories) at rest than does fat. Each day, a pound of muscle burns over 10 times as much energy as a pound of fat just to maintain itself. So a couple of extra pound or kilos of muscle will automatically mean you burn off more food. Also, the stronger you are, the more likely you are to exercise, and you’ll look trimmer because you are toned.

Women should also practice exercises that will strengthen their pelvic muscles. This will strengthen muscles that hold the bladder. If you are pregnant, these exercises will help prepare the pelvic muscles for delivery. You can do Kegel exercises just about anywhere.

To do a Kegel: Tighten your muscles as if you were trying to stop your urine stream (but do it when you are not urinating.) Try not to tighten buttocks, inner thighs, or stomach muscles. Hold for 3 seconds. Repeat 10 times during the day. Work up to tightening your pelvic muscles for 10 seconds, 10 times a day.

If you are having your period try this stretch exercise, it will soothe the cramps; Lie on your back with your knees bent and feel flat on the floor. Grasp one thigh behind the knee and slowly pull it to your chest. Hold for 20 seconds, then lower your leg. Repeat three times with each leg.

Marco’s Comment:
Women and Men who exercise and work out the body looks not only healthy looking, but they are sexy, and attractive.
Kegel exercise can also enhance men and women sexual life as it could helps to deliver sexual orgasm for both.

Curing Coughs and Colds

2008-08-25T07:38:00.000-07:00

Nothing cures colds but at the very least there are good symptom relievers on the market

Decongestants
Topical decongestants such as nasal sprays must not be used longer than five days at a time. They should be kept refrigerated and be discarded after a month.

Oral decongestants can cause insomnia, restlessness and should be avoided in patients with hypertension, heart problems, hyperthyroidism, diabetes or urinary retention.

Antihistamines
Help with runny noses, watery eyes and dry cough. You should avoid driving, operating machinery and drinking alcohol if the antihistamine causes drowsiness.

Paracetamol
Helps with fever and body aches.

Combination products
1. Decongestant and paracetamol- a useful combination if you have mild fever and some aches and pains- be careful not to take excessive doses of paracetamol.
2. Decongestant, paracetamol and cough suppressant- good when you also have a dry cough.
3. Decongestant, paracetamol and anthihismine- useful if you are suffering from a runny nose.

If possible, just relax and gain rest, drink lot of water will do.
Consume medicines only if necessary.

Cancer-causing antibiotic found in popular luncheon pork

2008-08-24T04:24:00.000-07:00

SINGAPORE- The agent of a popular mainland canned pork product has initiated a recall and suspended sales after tests showed a sample contained a cancer-causing antibiotic.The Centre for Food Safety yesterday revealed this after laboratory tests showed a sample of Shanghai Ma Ling B2 340g pork luncheon meat (less sodium) was found to have traces of nitrofurans.

The batch number is B25 for the product, which carries a best-before date of December 26, 2009 . According to the sole agent, the canned pork was imported on only two occasions- last December and January this year. The scare spread when Singapore's Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority detected carcinogenic traces in a consignment of canned pork from Ma Ling and Gulong food processing factories. These brands have been banned from entering Singapore since August 2007 for containing nitrofurans (an antibiotic for pigs).

Marco's comment:

Avoid processed food in all kinds.

How do you treat yourself? (cold and cough)

2008-08-17T06:58:00.000-07:00

1. Rest. Resting helps your immune system build up to fight the virus off.

2. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day- this helps loosen mucus- hence easier to cough or blow out. Avoid drink that dehydrate further like coffee or tea and alcohol.

3. Take symptomatic medications to give you some comfort.

4. Inhale- use a few drops of menthol or eucalyptus oil in a bowl of steaming water. Put a towel over your head, close your eyes and breathe in the vapor.

5. Decongestant rubs help.

6. Gargle with warm, salty water to ease throat irritations.

7. Cough medications are very useful- decide whether it is a dry or wet cough and use a suppressant or mucolytic accordingly.

8. Be wary of pain-relieving medications and make sure you speak to your doctor or pharmacist. Aspirin, for example, should not be used in children.

Marco's Comment

Personally I would suggest water therapy to treat yourself while you are not feeling well or caught by cold or cough.

Mind what you eat

2008-08-16T11:38:00.000-07:00

1. Eat a balanced diet consisting of plenty of vegetables, fruit, legumes and cereals. Include lean meat, poultry, fish, eggs and nuts.

2. Prepare meals with little or no added fat, salt and sugar.

3. Drink plenty of water each day. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation (1-2 drinks a day for women, 2-3 for men). However, if you’re trying to lose weight you should bear in mind that alcohol is low in nutrients and high in kilojoules.

4. Look at your food portions- if you are in the habit of piling up your plate, try gradually easing back. Bulking up with fruit and vegetables gives essential fibre and helps stave off hunger.

5. Don’t be hungry and don’t skip meals.

6. Cut the fat. Learn how to cook tasty, balanced low-fat-meals. You don’t have to love on cottage cheese and carrot sticks.

7. Choose foods with a low glycemic index (GI) such as fruits, vegetables and breakfast cereals. They can help you lose weight while keeping you feeling fuller for longer.

8. If you are about to have your monthly period, chances are that you will binge on “comfort food” such as chocolates, cakes and sweets. Satisfying an occasional craving is safe. If you must snack, then choose healthy food such as raw vegetables sticks, granola bars and such. It’ll satisfy the craving to munch on something and you won’t pile on the weight.

熟透的香蕉產生攻擊異常細胞的物質TNF

2008-08-16T08:03:00.000-07:00

您可能會發現不久的將來香蕉會缺貨!! 香蕉愈成熟即表皮上黑斑愈多，它的免疫活性也就愈高。日本人愛吃香蕉不是沒原因的，大、小朋友們都喜歡吃香蕉~真方便，每日五蔬果，疾病遠離我喔。

根據日本科學家的研究發現，香蕉中具有抗癌作用的物質TNF 。而且，香蕉愈成熟其抗癌效果愈高。日本東京大學教授山崎正利利用動物試驗，比較了香蕉、葡萄、蘋果、西瓜、菠蘿、梨子、柿子等多種水果的免疫活性，結果證實其中以香蕉的效果最好，能夠增加白血球，改善免疫系統的功能，還會產生攻擊異常細胞的物質TNF 。

山崎教授的試驗也發現，香蕉愈成熟即表皮上黑斑愈多，它的免疫活性也就愈高。所以從現在開始要吃熟一點的香蕉唷！香蕉不會使白血球盲目增長只有在數量少的時候才會大幅度增加。因此，專家們研究認為，香蕉具有的免疫激活作用比較溫和, 在人體狀態健康時並不會使免疫力異常升高. 但對病人、老人和抵抗力差的體弱者則很有效果。

因此，在日常生活中，我們不妨每天吃１,２根香蕉，透過提升身體的抗病能力來預防感染，特別是預防感冒和流感等病毒的侵襲。

山崎教授指出，在黃色表皮上出現黑色斑點的香蕉，其增加白血球的能力要比表皮發青綠的香蕉強８倍。

The 100th Health & Beauty Tips

2008-08-12T14:39:00.000-07:00

This is the 100th post since I started this Health & Beauty Tips blog in November, 2005.

The objectives of this Health & Beauty Tips blog are basically as below:
1. To share the precious health and beauty tips to people around the world.
2. Archived of health and beauty tips

While we received health related information via forwarded email, what commonly done was read and forward. The distribution of this useful information might not reach most of the people who needed it.

People nowadays are flooded with information. How many of us will have all the health and beauty related information properly filed? The information that we received today might not come to our need today, but it may be something that we are desperately looking for in some other days.

Thus, in view of the 2 scenarios stated above, I believe by posting all the health and beauty tips in this blog via Blogger (blogspot), all the health and beauty tips are properly managed and reachable by people around the world.

蘆筍(Asparagus)是治療癌症的妙藥

2008-08-10T01:21:00.000-07:00

居住於美國賓夕法尼亞洲匹茲堡的生物化學家－卡爾羅茲博士，最近在該市出版的一本營養雜誌上面，發表一篇極惹人注意的文章，說是蘆筍在治療癌症方面，有著極優異的結果，這裡特地請人翻譯出來，供給癌症患者，以及有關係的人士做為參考：

我羅茲自稱是一名生物學者，在過去的數十年之間，不斷的研究有關食物的健康問題不敢說有多大的建樹，但卻有了多少的心得，今天在此與各位談談有關癌症的問題，希望對同患者有多少的幫助。

數年之前，我的好友李察德，R賓西爾大學博士，發表了專題演講說：「蘆筍或許能夠治療癌症」以來，我頗有共鳴之心，從此以後，我在自己本份的工作之內，時常與賓西博士共同從事研究蘆筍與癌症的關係，如此經過了一段時間之後，我們發現了蘆筍確是能夠治療癌症，而且效果還相當的良好，我們特地從很多的實例中，舉出具有代表性的四、五個例子供大家做為參考：

(一）一名男子罹患了惡性的淋巴腺癌，醫生診察之後，只有搔搔頭，說是絕對沒有恢復健康的希望了，該男子請求於我們，我們告訴他蘆筍療法，如此只經過了一年後，醫生再檢查的結果，竟然全無癌腫的痕跡了。醫生在驚愕之餘，宣佈了他已經痊癒，於是他又重新回到了他工作的崗位，從此不再罹患此病了。

(二）一名六十七歲相當成功的商人，十多年前罹患了膀胱癌，他輾轉求醫，吃盡了各種的藥品，以及試盡了各種療法，仍舊是絲毫不見效，幾乎是要心灰意懶了，最後他抱著姑且一試的心理嘗試了蘆筍療法，前後只實行了三個多月，再前往醫院檢查之後，發現膀胱裡面的腫脹物已經完全的消失，再度恢復了健康。

（三）一名男子罹患了肺癌，於一九七一年三月接受了切開手術，醫生檢查之後，發現癌腫已經擴充開來，情況相當的嚴重了，實在不能再著手醫治了，於是他把切口再封閉起來，使患者自生自滅了。四月五日起該男子開始了蘆筍療法，每天有恆地持績下去，如此到了八月，當他前往醫院接受X光檢查的結果，發現所有的癌腫竟完全的消失了。

(四）一名婦女長年以來為皮膚癌所苦，他吃藥打針，不但沒有治癒皮膚癌，反而在幾年之後長出了七種不同的皮膚癌，使醫生都感覺到束手無策，拿她毫無辦法，這時她接受了友人的勸告，實行了蘆筍療法，每日不斷，三個月之後再前往檢查的結果，一切的皮膚癌症都消失了，疼痛亦無形中消失，醫生告訴她癌症已經完全的痊癒了。

依據這位婦女的發表，蘆筍療法不僅治癒了她的癌症，亦治好了她的腎臟病。因為自從一九四九年以來，她陸續接受了三十次的腎臟結石的切開手術，由於醫療費用毫無著落，以致演變到從政府方面接受特別醫療補助費哩！她竟然靠著廉價的蘆筍治好了多年的皮膚癌以及腎臟病，怎能不叫她欣喜萬分呢？不過我聽到了這道消息並不感到震驚，因為一九七一年，賓夕法尼亞大學發行的醫學雜誌，即提起蘆筍可能是腎臟結石的妙藥，又如一九七二年的雜誌亦刊載蘆筍可能消除膀胱結石等等。

那麼，蘆筍應該如何吃才能治療癌症呢？這個問題並不困難，只要把蘆筍先行煮熟（或者使用罐頭裝的蘆筍也可以，功效是相同的），然後把蘆筍放入果汁機裡面打成泥狀，把這種蘆筍製成的泥狀物盛在容器裡，放入冰箱的冰凍室裡面，早晚各吃四大匙。

這種的蘆筍泥的效果非常良好，患者在連續服用三個星期或四個星期之後，即會發現效果，至於吃法不必拘泥於形式，憑各人的愛好即行，用菜湯沖泡，或者冷開水沖薄之後飲用亦可，因為這不同於一般的化學藥品，即使多吃亦不致造成災害，有時候甚至有吃的必要呢！身為生物化學者的我，以本身職業的立場深信古老的一句說法：「有效的食療法，亦可以用來預防疾病的發生」。

如今大家都談癌色變，我與妻子為了預防這種棘手的疾病之故，每天三餐都食用蘆筍泥(用菜湯沖泡或水沖薄之後飲用)，然後按時舉行血液檢查，結果我倆的身體一直健康無恙，站立於生物化學者的立場，我曾經仔細地研究癌的成因以及治療。

依我看來，蘆筍療法乃是時下最新的癌症治療法。我們從事有關蘆筍的研究之後，發現它含有多量的某種蛋白質，這種蛋白質能夠增值新的細胞，不但能夠抵抗癌腫的增值，亦能變成我們身體的刺激劑，使新陳代謝加強，增進身體的健康。
總而言之，蘆筍療法並非化學藥品療法，是故，不必擔心有副作用，絕對不會毒害及身體，可以放心的使用。

如果閣下有幸讀到這一篇報導，不妨告訴那些癌症所苦的人，教他們試一試這種療法，這也算是做了一件功德無量的事呢！

∼∼ 多多傳授，功德無量∼∼

[註]：本篇資料由朴子市農會李豐榮股長所提供，因為其尊翁曾罹患膀胱癌症末期，在施善友人好心介紹「蘆筍療法」後，抱著姑且一試的心情照章實施，一日數次，經數月之食用治療之後，果真效果奇特不藥而癒。李股長為感念善德，廣贈資料以濟救世人。

The Fountain Of Youth: Hyaluronic Acid

2008-08-06T08:38:00.000-07:00

Why your skin ages
Basically, there are two types of ageing: intrinsic (biological & inherent) and extrinsic (environment & lifestyle) ageing. As you age, your skin will start to lose its elasticity and suppleness due to a decrease in natural oil production and moisture retention. As a result, the skin becomes drier and more vulnerable to damage and this can be characterized by deep wrinkles, fine lines, sagging skin and pigmentation.

Dermatologists have discovered that one of the reasons for wrinkles is the decreasing production, and concentration, of hyaluronic acid in the skin. With decreasing levels of hyaluronic acid, during the ageing process, the loss of volume causes connective tissues to literally dip and wrinkles to form.

Hyaluronic Acid, the natural wrinkle filler
Hyaluronic acid, also known as hyaluron, is not really an acid. It is a carbohydrate found in the body. 50% of all the hyaluronic acid in your body is found in your skin. Hyaluronic acid in the skin makes up the extracellular matrix which fills up the spaces between skin cells. This matrix is key to plumping up skin as it holds a large amount of water. Without a healthy extracellular matrix, your skin will be rough and wrinkled. Hyaluronic acid is also vital in maintaining good collagen levels, firmness and elasticity.

When you are young, your skin and body have the ability to produce sufficient levels of hyaluronic acid needed but this process becomes less efficient as you grow older.

It is estimated that by the age of 60, the hyaluronic acid level in a woman would have dropped to a quarter of the level found in a baby’s skin. Thus, it is crucial to use skincare products containing hyaluronic acid to help skin maintain sufficient moisture retention to stay wrinkle-free.

Commonly used by dermatologist
Dermatologists and aestheticians are now commonly using hyaluronic acid fillers to improve skin countour and to plump up deep wrinkles. No allergy test is required, unlike collagen, because allergic side effects are very rare with this natural dermal filler. The filler effects can last up to six months or longer.

Interesting facts of hyaluronic acid
It is approved by FDA in USA as one of the most modern and safest options for dermal filling treatment.
One gram of hyaluronic acid can hold up to 6 liters of water.
50% of the hyaluronic acid in our body can be found in our skin.
UVB rays affect skin’s production of hyaluronic acid.
Half of the hyaluronic acid in our skin breaks down in 24 hours. Skincare products containing hyaluronic acid help skin maintain sufficient moisture retention to stay wrinkle-free.-Eucerin

Marco’s comment:
No doubt with sophisticated skincare product like hyaluronic acid filler, people can fight ageing by consuming such product. But, in my opinion, maintaining healthy lifestyle should have address the ageing process in more efficient way and yet natural.

According to one article from Readers’ Digest, a quality sleep will enable the body to fine tune, repair and release hormones for better health and beauty of one.

Thus, besides skincare product, healthy lifestyle and quality sleep is definitely mandatory for a beautiful, healthy and sexy outlook.

Do antibiotics help?

2008-08-04T06:43:00.000-07:00

It is very important to remember that antibiotics only help in infections caused by bacteria. They have no effects on viruses. Hence antibiotics do not help with colds. You have to allow your immune system to fight the viruses!

Besides that, antibiotics do not help with any of the cold and cough symptoms either. They do not stop your condition from getting worse and also do not stop you from spreading the viruses to other people.

Very importantly, the use of antibiotics when you do not need them makes them less effective when you eventually do need antibiotics for a bacterial infection. This also increases resistance to antibiotics in the community.

Use of antibiotics can also cause unwanted side effects such as stomach discomfort, diarrhea, fungal infections such as thrush and allergic reactions.

It usually suffices to get adequate rest and use symptomatic treatments.

Have goals and rewards to lose weight

2008-08-02T07:27:00.000-07:00

Decide what is a healthy, achievable and sustainable weight for you and give yourself a time-frame to achieve it. Take it very slowly (about a kilogram a month) as weight lost quickly comes back quickly. Set a number of short-term goals so you have a sense of achievement, and reward yourself with non-food treats when you achieve them.

Broccoli to the defence of prostate cancer

2008-07-28T08:31:00.000-07:00

In Asia country such as Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan and China, organic vegeterian diet is known as diet for post cancer treatment patients or the health conscious group. There is some matching between the Asian believes and the article below. Read on.

Just a few more portions of broccoli each week may protect men from prostate cancer, British researchers reported.

The researchers believe a chemical in the food sparks hundreds of genetic changes, activating some genes that fight cancer and switching off others that fuel tumours, said Richard Mithen, a biologist at Britain’s Institute of Food Research.

There is plenty of evidence linking a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables to reduce cancer risk. But the study published in the Public Library of Science journal, PLoS One, is the first human trial investigating the potential biological mechanism at work, Mithen added in a telephone interview.

“Everybody says eat vegetables but nobody can tell us why,” said Mithen, who lead the study. “Our study shows why vegetables are good.”

Prostate cancer is the second leading cancer killer of men after lung cancer. Each year, some 680,000 men worldwide are diagnosed with the disease and about 220,000 will die from it.

Mithen and colleagues split into 2 groups 24 men with precancerous lesions that increase prostate cancer risk and had them eat four extra servings of either broccoli or peas each week for a year

The researchers also took tissue samples over the course of the study and found that men who ate broccoli showed hundreds of changes in genes known to play a role in fighting cancer.

The benefit would likely be the same in other cruciferous vegetables that contain a compound called isothiocyanate, including brussel sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, rocket or arugula, watercress and horse radish, they added.

Broccoli, however, has a particularly powerful type of the compound called sulforaphane, which the researchers think gives the green vegetable an extra cancer fighting kick, Mithen said.

“When people get cancer, some genes are switched off and some are switched on,” he said. “What broccoli seems to be doing is switching on genes which prevent cancer developing and switching off other one that help it spread.”

The broccoli eaters showed about 400 to 500 of the positive genetic changes with men carrying a gene called GSTM1 enjoying the most benefit. About half the population have the gene, Mithen said.

The researchers did not track the men long enough to see who got cancer but said the findings bolster the idea that just a few more vegetable portions each week can make a big difference.

It is also likely that these vegetables work the same way in other parts of the body and probably protect people against whole range of cancers, Mithen added.

“You don’t need a huge change in your diet,” he said. “Just a few more portions make a big difference.”

What happens if I am overweight?

2008-07-26T08:25:00.001-07:00

If you are overweight you have a greater chance of shortening your life. You will be the perfect candidate for developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, joint problems, gallbladder disease, sleep and lung problems and a host of other terminal diseases. Abdominal body fat, the ‘apple shape’, is a higher health risk than the ‘pear shape’.

Source: Health care booklet from Guardian pharmacy

Marco's comment:

First step to achieve wellness is to shape your body to ensure one is not overweight.

Burns are also wounds

2008-07-25T08:18:00.000-07:00

Treating minor burns fast is essential. Cool the area with cold water or a cold pack to limit tissue damage and relieve pain. A pack of frozen peas or mixed vegetables will work just as well. An ice cube held in several layers of tissue or cloth is also quite effective.

Apply the cold pack (separate it from the skin by several layers of gauze or similar thin material) for about 30 minutes, after which the pain is usually reduced (remember that this applies to minor burns only.)

If the burn blisters (as with most burns), try preserving the blister as long as possible- the blister fluid is the perfect growth medium for repair of the burned skin.

What is your ideal weight?

2008-07-23T07:06:00.000-07:00

Your ideal weight depends on how tall you are, your build, and whether you are a man or woman. One of the best ways of calculating a healthy weight is to work out your body mass index (BMI) by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. The ideal BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9. Your risk of a number of health problems rises significantly from a BMI of 27 while anything over 29.9 is a serious health concern.

Another good check for healthy weight is to measure your waist. Women with a waist circumference of over 88 cm (35 inches) and men with waists of more than 102 cm (40 inches) are at much greater risk for disease.

Source: Health care booklet from Guardian pharmacy

Marco’s comment:
It is almost impossible for working class people in the city to exercise 3 times a week to maintain the well being of the body. At least, we shall help ourselves by maintaining our weight and waist circumference to be at the healthy level.

Women choose to lead healthier lifestyles

2008-07-23T06:05:00.000-07:00

A woman is more likely to pick up a health-related publication than a man. It’s been said that women are concerned about their own health and that of their families more than men. This is because women are (most often) the decision makers in a home.

A woman needs to look after her own health first before she can look after her family’s. She needs to look into the health of her body, mind and soul. Only if she is healthy and strong will she be able to provide her family with the best nourishment possible.

Every woman should go for a regular health checks (at least once a year). A woman of child-bearing age should also go for routine gynecological checks with her doctor. Choosing to ignore this may warrant unwanted complications later in life.

Scar facts

2008-07-20T06:13:00.000-07:00

Whenever the skin (epidermis) is damaged, the tissue is rebuilt with only very slight scarring. However, when the layer of tissue below the skin (dermis) is damaged, a complex healing process begins which results in a scar. Red and raised scars (hypertrophic and keloid) can form as result of injury or accidents such as cuts and burns. Most scars fade and improve in appearance for about two years following an injury, but they never fully disappear and sweat glands and hair follicles never grow back.

Don’t wait till it’s too late to fight skin ageing process

2008-06-29T05:38:00.000-07:00

Women nowadays spent lot of money buying luxury facial and skin cleanser, cream and stuff like that to prevent the skin ageing process. After all, in my opinion, this will help a little, the major factors or elements to slow down the skin ageing process is still very much depending on one’s lifestyle.

Please see below article that I read from TheSun newspaper for your benefits.

Don’t wait till it’s too late to fight skin ageing process

Whether we like it or not, we all show signs of ageing at some point in our lives. The first signs of ageing are most visible on our skin as, being the largest organ in our body, it is often exposed to external elements. There are ways to counter the effects if skin ageing but before that, we need to understand the process that causes our skin to age and the reason why thus happens. The earlier you start giving your skin the protection it needs, the higher your chance of maintaining a youthful and radiant look in your later years.

How can you avoid skin ageing?
The unfortunate truth is that we cannot avoid our skin from ageing. But we can try to slow down the ageing process by:
- Avoiding exposure to direct sunlight and UV radiation;
- Not smoking;
- Drinking lots of water and staying hydrated;
- Avoiding the consumption of processed food;
- Exercising regularly;
- Getting enough sleep;
- Getting more rest and relaxation; and
- Supplementing your diet with a well-balanced combination of antioxidants.

Remember that your skin is a reflection of your underlying health, so all these play a role in strengthening your body’s defence system against harmful free radicals, which, ultimately, creates better looking skin.

Fight ageing with antioxidants
The good news is, you can counter the effects of skin ageing by eating foods like whole grains, tomatoes, grapes, citrus fruits, vegetables and fish oil, all of which are rich in antioxidants such as beta-carotene, vitamin C and E, lycopene, proanthocyanidins and selenium. These antioxidants help to reduce wrinkle formation and epidermal thickness on your skin by improving its elasticity and keeping it well hydrated. They also provide protection against UV radiation and free radicals.

It is true that ageing skin is an unpreventable fact of life, but skin that is well-protected and well-nourished will look healthy, resulting in a more radiant and youthful appearance. After all, growing old gracefully is all the matters.

Likely Problems After A Wound Has Healed

2008-06-03T06:43:00.000-07:00

Most wounds heal without any problems. However, a few unfortunate conditions may develop:

1. A piece or material gets embedded in the tissue under the healed wound. The area usually remains rather tender (it usually happens with glass fragments).

2. The scar ends up discoloured, particularly after a bad gravel rash.

3. A small piece of skin has been pushed into the wound, where it grows and eventually forms a ‘dermoid cyst’ that is harmless but needs removal.

4. Scars over the areas that are stretched often, such as knee, elbow and over the knuckles, often grow to be quite thick for a brief period, but usually become flat and colourless after a few months.

手機發明者之一, 施敏的良心告白

2008-06-02T22:06:00.000-07:00

美國國家工程研究院最近公佈新院士名單，共有三位華裔學者入選，本刊上期僅提及吳京院士及陳惠發教授，尚有一位獲此殊榮者為本院新科院士、著名之電子工程專家施敏。施院士為台大電機工程學士、美國史丹佛大學博士，現任交通大學教授。他對現代微電子科技（Microelectronics）的發展有重大貢獻，是半導體元件物理及製程技術的權威。他在經濟部電子工業小組委員任內，協助成立工研院電子所，對開拓我國電子工業有前瞻性的建樹。

施敏，是非常厲害的人物，之前在貝爾實驗室研究，幾年前才回到國內，是大哥大四個發明人之一，寫過一本半導體元件物理，發行量大概已有一兩百萬本，被論文引用的次數約兩萬多次(據說是世界第一)，這樣說只是想傳達一位學術界上很有地位的學者的看法而已。

施敏先生在一場Evolution of Nonvolatile Semiconductor Memory的Seminar時再三的強調關於手機的危險性，他引用美國目前研究的數據：人類如處在2mG(毫高斯)，就會有不好的影響，並當場示範，只使用可在10~200Hz(赫茲)範圍內的儀器量的結果是：手機超過了儀器的上限1000mG，而手機所用的微波範圍在2000,20000Hz 或更高。

他在國家實驗室所量的結果可以到達1~2萬mG(毫高斯)，這是通話中所量測的，更別提是在接通中了。

他舉一個在日本的朋友為例，他每天跟女友用手機聊天超過8小時，結果辦了第三天就掛了。

施敏教授又做了一個例子，就是用耳機來講手機，在耳機旁所測的電磁波約是10mG（因為電磁波是成指數的衰減），所以他做了強力的建議：

就是千萬不要用手機來談情說愛，有急事才適用。最好不要超過一分鐘，而且最重要的是：一定要用耳機，不用簡直是一種慢性的自殺！

手機發明者之一的良心告白:

1.使用手機五年可能會致癌

2.手機掛在左腰比在右腰好

3.最好不要掛在身上 ,最好放在背包

4.手機越迷你, 輻射越強.

5.最好用耳機聽

小心使用手機，請好好閱讀，這是忠告。

因為手機在接收訊號和發射訊號時，是利用高頻率的波來傳遞的，所以你可以把他想像成就是光，只是頻率不一樣而已。而人體由原子所構成，每個原子都有能階，如果剛好能接收這樣的入射波的話就會吸收能量，這和微波爐的原理是一樣的所以還是得小心一點。

剛剛我在電視上TVBS新聞中，有一則關於手机的新聞，被訪問者是一個研究員，他說他有一個朋友在大陸經商，用了五年的手機，最近竟然在耳朵到臉頰的部分出現了癌細胞，分佈的形狀就是一個手機的形狀，動手術還? 潀! 蛂u挖掉」，你還敢用? 那位研究員還說，用一分鐘的手机，靠近耳朵的腦細胞溫度會上升1.5度細胞雖然不會死，但是細胞中的基因卻會壞死。除了這些之外，手機用多還會有失憶、提早老年痴呆的症狀，所以，除非必要，還是少用手機，多用公用電話吧!

有手機的人越來越多，參考一下吧! 轉載自民生報醫藥保健版。

方基存曾和幾位醫師為行動電話該掛在左腰、右腰有過深入討論，最後一致結論是：左腰是較佳的選擇。因為，左側的器官較少，即使腎臟也位於後腹腔，被耐受性較強的腸子遮蔽，影響有限；反觀右腰除腎臟外，還有對電磁波耐受性不強的肝臟，危險性較大。

以下的結果是我與朋友從廠商得到的相關訊息，及實驗的結果:手機收訊越強代表來源電磁載波越強，尤其是強調在電梯，地下室，隧道都可收到訊號的手機及門號公司，這些門號公或手機廠商為了滿足收訊無死角會相互配合如加強手機上晶片的功能與基地臺的加建，但是這只是讓通訊電磁波可以涵蓋更廣的範圍與可收到訊息，但真正要達到收訊清楚，就要加強電磁載波與幅射訊號。

手機越小越需要更強的電磁波訊號，才能訊號完全，所以當妳聽到有人手機很迷你，功能很強，收訊很好時，不要羨慕，當妳聽到有人可以在電梯地下道，隧道收到手機訊號，不要羨慕，這所透露出一個訊息是：他的手機電磁波訊號是妳的好幾倍！想想看，電磁波要透電梯殼，地下道等鋼筋水泥障礙物再到妳的手機上，需要多強的訊號，這等於是在微波爐前沒有將門板關上，直接啟動微波爐一樣。

Airbrush Painting In Residential Area

2008-06-02T18:43:00.000-07:00

This picture shows a renovation worker performing airbrush painting at the car porch. The fumes were spreading via winds and flew into the houses nearby through the windows.

As we know that solvents are toxic to a greater or lesser degree and are also inflammable, this irresponsible guy was sort of putting all of the residents in that area in risk. Not mentioning there were elders and babies in the house that might be badly affected by the toxic fumes of airbrush painting.

Airbrush painting shall be allowed to perform in industrial area or under controlled environment.

Together we create a healthy community by being more responsible and giving more concern and cares to the people and environment.

梨的功能

2008-05-15T22:22:00.000-07:00

梨和加熱過的梨汁都有加速排出體內致癌物質的功能。

韓國首爾大學醫學院預防醫學科楊美熙教授領導的研究小組去年9月發表報告指出﹐飯後吃個梨﹐積存在人體內的致癌物質可以大量排出。

調查結果顯示﹐吸煙或者吃烤肉等在體內聚集的強致癌物質多環芳香烴﹐在吃梨後會顯著降低。

研究人員對吸菸者進行了試驗, 讓他們在4天內連續每天吃750g左右的梨﹐並測定吃梨前後小便中多環芳香烴的代謝產物1-羥基芘含量。

測後發現﹐吸煙6小時後再吃個梨﹐人體血液內1-羥基芘含量會大量經尿液排出。

如果不吃梨 ﹐1-羥基芘毒素只能排出很少量。

調查結果說﹐加熱過的梨汁含有更大量的抗癌物質───多酚。

給注射過致癌物質的小白鼠喝這樣的梨汁﹐白鼠的尿液中就能排出大量的1-羥基芘毒素﹐從而預防癌患。

"梨和加熱過的梨汁﹐都有加速排出體內致癌物質的功能。"

專家建議﹐"在人們熱衷於吃煎烤食品､快餐類食品的今天﹐飯後吃一個梨不失為一種值得推薦的健康生活方式。"

看完這篇文章是否會讓你起身去削個梨吃呢？

Honey- The Best Food For The Heart

2008-05-13T01:58:00.000-07:00

Honey is one of the best gifts from nature to us. Honey is saturated with glucose and fructose. These sugars are in pre-digested forms, hence are readily assimilated in the blood stream.

If you need instantaneous energy, one that can be felt in about ten minutes, take a spoonful of honey. The glycogen passes rapidly into your blood stream and has the same effects as a meal.

There are sixteen types of sugar present in honey, but two are predominant, fructose and dextrose. This is one reason why honey acts so quickly in providing energy. Fructose and dextrose are described as pre-digested, and when taken into the body go to work straight away.

A glass of water with two teaspoons of honey at night induces sound sleep and brings clear motion on the next morning. The same drink taken on an empty stomach in the morning will works as an appetizer.

Honey is mild antiseptic. Its regular use strengthens both body and mind. It is recommended in cases of arteriosclerosis and weak hearts. Heart is a muscle and, like all our muscles, can be stimulated by honey which provides the energy needed by the muscles.

Honey also builds resistance to coughs, colds and many other ailments.

Are You Drinking The Right Tea?

2008-05-12T01:32:00.000-07:00

1. People who use their "brain" to work or students who study hard day and night should drink more Chrysanthemum Tea.

2. People who need a lot of body energy to work or those people that do a lot of exercise everyday should drink Wu Loong Tea.

3. People who travel on a bike or work in dirty and polluted places should drink Green Tea.

4. For people who likes to sit down all day long and not doing anything even exercising must drink Green Tea and Flower Tea ( like Herbalife, Hibiscus Lemon Tea)

5. People who smoke and drink a lot of alcoholic drinks. should drink more Green Tea.

6. Carnivores (those people who must eat meat at least once a day, or feel sick or not feeling well) try to drink some Wu Loong Tea .

7. People who go to the washroom too often or too less should drink more Honey Tea.

8. People with high cholesterol and high blood pressure. - Wu Loong Tea, Green Tea.

9. Those who work with computers everyday need to drink a Lot of Tea (any tea will do).

Whenever you are working with the computer, you should make some tea; drink it when you are free. Drinking Tea is healthy, it can protect and prevent the harmful Ultraviolet light from harming us (when using computer). Furthermore, it can also cure us when we are tired and help making our body feel fresh again. -Anonymous

Remedy To Heal Cancer And Other Illnesses By Dr.Tateishi Kazu

2008-05-08T09:13:00.000-07:00

When cancer strikes a family, what course of action should one take? Dr.Tateishi Kazu's father and brother both died of cancer. And then he found himself suffering from cancer of the duodenum and spreading. His stomach was removed, but the cancer cells had spread to his lungs. He resolved to fight for his life. He researched, studied and tested over 1,500 types of herbs and plants. Eventually he discovered the right combination of ingredients and formulated a unique healing vegetable soup and brown rice tea with its own molecular powers. The vegetables are rich in green chlorophyll, amino acids, iron, phosphorous, calcium, all in a natural form.

He based his soup on the principles of Five Elements theory, the harmonizing balance of the forces of Yin and Yang, acid and alkaline that engenders health as opposed to the imbalance, which leads to disease.

The five elements in our environment are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. Because of the balance of the five elements, the earth is able to produce life. Dr. Tataishi Kazu used the essence of the five elements. Each essence possesses its own color: green, red, yellow, white and black. These relate to the corresponding internal organs: heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidneys. He used the concept of the five different colors as matched to specific vegetables.

Green/ Daikon Radish Leaves

White/ Daikon Radish

Red/ Carrot

Yellow/ Burdock Root

Black/ Shitake Mushrooms

What This Remedy May:
1. Heal Cancer
2. Restore injured joints and bone structure
3. Slow down the aging process
4. Rejuvenate the skin
5. Heal Cataracts
6. Heal liver disorders
7. Lower high blood pressure
8. Improve heart conditions
9. Reduce brain tumors and other related head-injury problems
10 Reduce high white blood cell counts
11. Improve T-cell function

This is a remedy for all age groups. When the soup is ingested, it produces thirty different elements for fighting disease. Within three days, it can stop the growth of cancer cells. Even for some last-stage cancer patients, it can lead to 100% remission. Patients who have subsisted on feeding tubes for nourishment, when given the soup, after two days regained their strength. Over 10,000 last-stage cancer patients have used this remedy. 99% are alive and were able to return to work.

Vegetable Soup Recipe
(2 days' quantity)
Ingredients
16 ounces white daikon (radish)
8-10 ounces white daikon (radish) greens
8-10 ounces carrot8 ounces burdock root (also called Gobo in Japan)
3-5 fresh Shitake mushroom (sun-dried)If not sun-dried, expose dried mushrooms to sunlight before preparation.

Directions:
Fill a pot with three times the quantity of water as the vegetable. Cook the above items in a slow cooker (with ceramic pot inside) set first on High temperature, then later reduce the cooking temperature to low and let it simmer for two hours. The recipe smells and tastes like vegetable soup but without any spices. You can drink it throughout the day, cold, warm or hot just like tea.

Notes:
- Only cook in glass or ceramic pots. No metallic pots.

- Don't peel anything! Don't add any seasoning! Do not mix with any other ingredients. Don't be "creative."

Brown Rice Tea Recipe
Another remedy that can be used in conjunction with the vegetable soup is brown rice tea. It is a good diuretic for ridding excess water from the body. For diabetics, it can bring the sugar level down by producing more natural insulin in the body. It cleanses the blood and blood vessel. A person with a heart condition drinking both soups in 20 days will be able to regulate their problem by drinking three cups per day. For a regular cancer patient, about two cups.

Ingredients:

1 cup brown rice

16 cups water

Notes:

- Only only cook in stainless steel, glass or ceramic pots.
- Don't add any seasoning! Do not mix with any other ingredients. Don't be "creative."

Directions:

1. Roast the rice without oil until dark brown but don't burn. Boil 8 cups of water and pour roasted rice into water. Turn off flame, cover and let sit five minutes. Strain out rice and reserve liquid.

2. Boil 8 more cups of water. Put the remaining rice back in the water. Cover, lower flame and simmer five minutes. Strain rice out. Mix the two rice waters together.

Special Notes:

The amount one needs depend on the condition. The more serious the condition, the more tea.

1. Do not drink tea while taking a high protein substance.

2. Don't drink the vegetable soup and brown rice tea together. Wait at least 15 minutes apart.

3. If you use this remedy regularly you will never be sick.

Some possible reactions:

1. itchy skin or eczema

2. If you use medications and/or have eczema, use less because of stronger reaction

3. People with head injury problems may develop headaches but don't worry.

4. People with eye problems may get temporary blurred vision or itching around eyes. Eyesight will get better. If you wear prescription glasses, try to reduce the prescription and use glasses less frequently.

5.Lowering of body temperature, but this is normal.For high blood pressure, drink the two soups alternately but slowly. Blood pressure will come down after one month. Talk to a doctor about reducing medication, but don't stop medication right away. Use remedy for minimum of one month.

Progress of Healing
After three days of use, cancer cells stop growing.After a minimum of one month normal cells begin to grow back.

Pancreatic Cancer: minimum 1 month
Stomach Cancer: 1 month
Liver Cancer: 1 year
Rheumatism: 1 year
