Dung of the Devil Extract Kills the Swine Flu Virus

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 07:21:00 +0000

Scientists have looked far and wide for a medicine that can counter the H1N1 or swine flu virus and now it seems they have found a plant that may prove to be the microbe's doom inside an infected body. The plant has been known used since ancient times in China as a flu remedy and its roots were even used to fight the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic.

The plant, which is found in China, Iran, and Afghanistan, is the Ferula asafetida. It's common name is Dung of the Devil because of it's foul stench. Even its scientific name gives a clue to how it smells like, which is fetid! Researchers at the Kaohsiung Medial University in Taiwan have known that the genus it belongs to has over 230 natural healing compounds and they discovered that it had potent anti-viral compounds tat killed the H1N1 virus in laboratory tests using plant samples from a Chinese medicinal shop.

The researchers say the compounds discovered in the Ferula asafetida plant could prove to be useful for new medicines against swine flu. Let's just hope that they can make the smell of the plant negligible once the compounds are in capsule or pill form. We all know how some remedies can smell so foul and it looks like this new medicine from the Dung of the Devil plant will follow in that tradition. Strangely, it's been traditionally used as a spice in cooking as early as the ancient Egyptian and Roman times. In Cairo today, you can buy powdered asafoetida (which looks and smells like real dung) at the Harraz Herb Shop near the Bab al-Khalq square. It's sometimes mixed with other spices like turmeric.

You'd wonder why something which can smell so offensive can be used for cooking delicious food. It's said by those who've used it that once you cook it in hot oil, you would get the delectable and savory scent of onions sauteeing. It's said that the heat breaks down the sulfides that cause the stench. You'd wonder how something could have been discovered to be good to cook with the in the first place! It's very popular in India, and in religious Jainism practices, asafoetida is used as a substitute for onions and garlic which are forbidden.

Softdrink from Cow Urine Marketed in India

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 02:17:00 +0000

We've all heard of the idea of using urine as a source of hydrogen to help ease the dependence on fossil fuels, but in India, a softdrink company is producing a drink made from cow urine. According to the Cow Protection Department of the Hindu Nationalist Group Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), it's a way to promote Hindu culture (Hindutva) and have Indians steer away from Western products like Pepsi and Coca-Cola. In India, cows are sacred and protected. Their urine is used to purify people at the lower end of the social caste hierarchy and also as a medicine.

According to Om Prakash, head of the RSS department, the product does not taste like cow urine and says it contains medicinal ayurvedic herb ingredients and is also free from toxins. He adds that it is affordable, competitive (against other softdrink brands), and may even be exported.

In other developments, read about how urine is now being tapped as a major source of hydrogen fuel.

Is the Theoretical Land of Mu in Japan?

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 01:40:00 +0000

There's this theory of a sunken land somewhere in the Pacific Ocean called Mu. Unlike the lost city of Atlantis, which has been mentioned in history by Plato, Mu's origin is more recent and is based on a theory of 19th century adventurer Augustus Le Plongeon, who said that major ancient civilizations of the world, like Egypt and those in Middle America, came from inhabitants of a continent called Mu. He originally placed this land in the Atlantic ocean, but later, James Churchwald insisted that it's submerged in the Pacific.

Well, years passed and this idea of Mu has somehow become legendary. Some proposed that island groups like the Philippines were once part of Mu. One archaeologist, has even found underwater structures in Yonaguni island in Japan that seemed carved out of rock. Professor Masaaki Kimura (top), marine geologist at the Department of Physics and Earth Sciences at the University of the Ryukyu, Okinawa, has studied the Yonaguni rock formations for years and is convinced that they were made by humans.

Kimura makes it clear that he does not believe the formations to be the remains of Mu, but it's his belief that the ruins may serve as a model for the legends and tales of sunken cities and continents. His critics say that since there are no definitive artifacts that point to human habitation, it's likely the angled rocks were formed naturally through tidal and other geological forces. As for Mu, well, scientific data simply does not support it's existence, thus it's largely regarded as simply the figment of an overactive imagination.

Michael Jackson Found by Physician Alive

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 09:33:00 +0000

It's been confirmed through the attorney of Michael Jackson's physician that the pop icon was found alive by the doctor, although with a weak pulse. According to Atty. Edward Chernoff, Dr. Conrad Murray administered CPR in an attempt to revive Jackson and also called for police assistance.

Murray's interview conducted by the Robbery-Homicide division of the L.A. police was part of the investigation to ascertain the circumstances behind the singer's death, which was said to have been caused by cardiac arrest. Fans all over the world have paid tribute to Jackson, reviving his old songs and buying memorabilia (such as the one above) to remember their idol.

This Thriller statue of the great MJ as a zombie is now scarce - likely due to the low price and high demand. Items like this are thus ideal for reselling as their value should increase with time - so long as not too many of them are made.

Entertainment news reporters were all over the story. One record producer was quoted as saying Michael Jackson is now worth more than when he was alive. However, the producers of his upcoming concert in London reportedly lost millions due to his untimely passing.

Lake Baikal Under Environmental Threat Due to Mining

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 05:37:00 +0000

Lake Baikal is the deepest lake in the world and it is also one of the most endangered. Mining companies are lobbying to be given the rights to harvest mineral resources of the lake environment. It's a tacky situation with both economic progress and environmental protection on the discussion table.

Apart from mining companies, there's also plans to construct a uranium enrichment facility beside the lake. Environmentalist Marina Rikhvanova has campaigned against it believing it is a potential threat to the lake environment, posing a future danger for both people and wildlife.

Lake Baikal is also known as the world's oldest lake and has been dubbed the Pearl of Siberia (although it's really shaped like a long sword). Speaking of pearls, scientists have long observed strange circular formations on the ice of the lake that measure kilometers across. The explanation for these geologic features may be viewed here.

Melting North Pole Spurs Quest for Fossil Fuels in Ironic Twist

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 06:13:00 +0000

Yes, the North Pole appears to be shrinking and some people say it's because of the greenhouse gases released from the use of fossil fuels. But now that much of the areas once covered in ice are exposed, there is now a rush by countries like Russia to find more fossil fuels and other natural resources to exploit in once inaccessible places.

If these countries do find more oil or natural gas, that could only mean more greenhouse gases to release and more ice will likely melt farther north. So what are we to do? Watch the video to see how countries are scrambling for a piece of the North Pole.

Vitamin D Found to Extend Lifespan - Supplementation Advised

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 04:02:00 +0000

Some research on vitamin supplementation come and go with limited analytical basis. Some are positive and some are negative, but the good research results outweigh the bad and dubious ones. Here is one finding regarding Vitamin D that people all over the world would like to hear.

So, what's the news? It's that Vitamin D nutrient supplementation may actually prolong your life. Previously, it's been found to be effective in fighting cancer, and of course a lot of us already know it helps keep our bones healthy and prevents rickets - a condition where the bones turn brittle due to a lack of Vitamin D like Colicalciferol (D3).

We get the benefits from Vitamin D from sunshine as we need it for our body to manufacture the nutrient. But do you know that to adequately benefit from Vitamin D with sunshine, we have to be naked for much of our waking lives and frequently expose ourselves to the sun. But you know this isn't realistic and too much exposure to UV rays can give us skin cancer. This is especially true if you have light skin and live in a tropical country like the Philippines where the sun's rays are more direct and intense. This is one reason why Filipinos would benefit well from nutrient supplementation.

So what to do? Watch the news video to find out about the details of how Vitamin D supplementation can help you improve your health and promote overall wellness.

People Wait for End of World in a Cave in Russia

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 02:10:00 +0000

While some people wait for the premiere of the doomsday movie 2012, there are some who actually wait for the end of the world. In Russia, a group of people have shut themselves out from the rest of the world by staying inside a cave to wait for doomsday. Part of the cave's roof has already collapsed and authorities are worried about the welfare of the people, which includes children, who have chosen to stay inside.

Vents for air circulation have been put in place, but the danger remains for the people inside the cave. Doomsday cults often isolate themselves and adopt a communal way of life for a certain period of time before doing something drastic like mass suicide. In this case, it's waiting for the end.

Economic Recession Creates Job Losses but Opens New Income Opportunities in Countries Like the Philippines

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 07:16:00 +0000

If there's something to be gained form the recent World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland, where world leaders gathered to find a solution to the nose-diving world economy, it's optimism as a result of US President Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan which would infuse billions of dollars into the US economy to ease the effects of the recession.

While countries on other parts of the world like Asia have yet to feel the brunt of the recession, layoffs from multinational companies starved of dollars are already being experienced in countries like the Philippines, where formerly huge industries like processor manufacturing have almost come to a standstill as Intel chose to close factories there, resulting in massive job losses.

Local Philippine residents have been looking for alternative sources of income and a lot of them have discovered the viable and lucrative alternative to being employed, and that's by joining multilevel networking companies. These companies which distribute products through members, provide a means to move both commercial items and money in the economy, thus lessening the problem with market liquidity and confidence in consumers.

One leading networking company like USANA has just launched in the Philippines and is now being deluged by members wanting to get in top place in the network, which is essentially opening up the market and there's currently an expected deluge of revenue both for the company and new Filipino members. It's a timely entry that could very well keep the recession from being felt by those who join early.

Bush Shoe Attack Spoofed

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 01:46:00 +0000

The shoe-attack of a reporter on President George W. Bush of the United States during a press conference in Iraq was a surprise (left pic; click to view in the BBC), but it did create a lot of serious reaction where people either took the side of the shoe-throwing reporter or the U.S. There have been calls for the release of the journalist who has gained a kind of celebrity status, but the U.S. government stated that it's up to the Iraqis to determine the fate of the angry reporter. President Bush reportedly simply shrugged off the incident.

On the lighter side of the shoe-throwing, there already have been video spoofs of the press conference event. It just shows that there are still those who view things like these happening like a humorous editorial cartoon, and in this age of the Internet video, there's less of the editorial and more of the humor.

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 08:20:00 +0000

What to do when its Christmas and there's food to prepare and to eat? These days, it's not just about cooking and eating, it's also about considering the fattening calories and how to festively eat but without getting fat and keeping the weight in control.

Giving it as a gift is good, but it may be more cherished by the recipient if you consider his or her well-being in terms of health (like when diabetes is concerned) or in simply looking fit and trim.

Watch this video to get some idea about what you can do, especially for those who have or may get diabetes, when it comes to eating the holiday cake (and then some), whether you're the gift-giver or gift-givee.

How Feeding Cockroaches to Pet Lizards Can Lead to Environmental Disaster

alvinwriter@yahoo.com (alvinwriter) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 05:10:00 +0000

Every pet owner has a responsibility to feed his pet no matter what kind it is. Dogs are fed dog food, cats are fed cat food. These are typically processed already and come in plastic bags, cans, or boxes. "Eat's" easy to feed common pets like these. But for pet lizard owners, it's a different story.

Food for lizards are not sourced readily from grocery stores. They are bought from pet shops which get their supplies as "fresh meat" imported from other countries. For some reason, both lizard and pet shop owners prefer to get this meat in the form of exotic cockroaches that aren't native to their destination.

Scientists fear that some of these roaches may escape, proliferate, and cause an environmental, ecological imbalance. Without the typical predators that eat them, their numbers can grow to unmanageable proportions the likes of which you see only in a movie that could be titled "Roaches." Even without the help of petshops, cockroaches like the Turkestan roach have already entered Florida by hitch hiking along with soldiers coming back from the Middle East.

Condo in England Designed Like Starship Enterprise Bridge

If you were a Star Trek fan and wanted to live in a condominium unit that looks like the bridge of the Starship Enterprise from the Next Generation series (left), where would you go?

The answer is rural England, because a fan there has designed the interior of a condo unit to look like the Enterprise bridge! From the outside, it looks just like any other unite, but the inside is where the fantasy begins! It's been offered for sale but Captain Picard's bald head is not included.

Cool! But, if I were the designer, I'd set up a screen that shows images from a 16" telescope on the rooftop of the building. I'd also have a navigator at the helm to tell them where to point the telescope, how much magnification to use, and then find out the details of the object - which may be Jupiter, Venus, the Orion nebula, or wherever I wish to see at night from a science officer (preferably Vulcan). It would be just like in the movies, and I'd be giving the commands from the captain's chair!

Play bridge with your kids! Yes, kids can play bridge with this Star Trek Enterprise original series play bridge. Order now before the Klingons hijack it!

What does the Enterprise bridge from J.J. Abrams's Star Trek 2009 look like?
