Shared identical epitope between
Ankyrin 1 and Spike Protein

Our Natural Immunity is a dynamic system

that constantly shuffle genes and memorize.

This is how our immune system is able

to handle external pathogens of zillion possibilities.

But there are situations our immunity

may not be able to perform well, generally due to:

. Poor Nourishment

. Low Life Force/Metabolism

. External Interference/Toxins

. Irregular Lifestyle

In some worse situations,

our immunity could even be "hijacked"

usuallly due to intravenous introduction of foreign substances (e.g. vaccines),

or manipulation of T-cells by pathogens and cancer cells.

One of many notorious examples of

vaccine-induced "immunity hijack" is

Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA)

caused by Covid19 vaccine.

The Covid19 contains spike protein that

harbour a fragment of human red blood cell membrane protein ANK-1,

triggering antibody cross reactivity on human red blood cells.

Similar tragedy also happened with Kenya where

hCG protein was conjugated to Tetanus vaccine

to raise cross activitiy against the hGH protein

which is natural protein for fertility.

Medical technology has advanced so much that

commoners have no means to verify/identify the content

of new medicines which may haywire their immunity.

Given the corrupt medical system,

there more we have to rely on our own diligence

to garner better life force, better nourishment in our diet

in order to improve our natural immunity.

Given the collapsed integrity of authorities,

the more we have to refuse the intravenous administration

of allopathic reagents, especially vaccines,

to avoid immunity hijack.

In the next post,

we will discuss about immunity manipulation by cancer cells.

From there, we will know

immunity boosting may not be the right direction for cancer healing!

Meanwhile,

eat well and live well

so that we have strong natural immunity

as our bargaining capital to reject any intravenous intervention.

By good will,

Very rarely,

The Sun and The Moon
influence our immunity

people realise that our immunity

is closely tied to

the day and night!

In other words,

if we do not follow

the law of the Sun and the Moon,

very likely we will have compromised immunity.

Mainly, it's due to

the unTIMEly rest and stress.

(a) Untimely Rest

This refers to

sleeping/resting too much

during the day or

waking up too late

in the morning (1hr after sunrise).

During day time,

our body is designed to operate mainly

in sympathetic nervous mode

when Th2 Immunity (or Extracellular Immunity) predominates.

When we sleep/rest too much during the day,

our body switches to parasympathetic nervous mode too frequently,

rendering the extracellular defence compromised

(due low immuno metabolism).

We will then tend to get immuno-suppressive type of diseases.

(b) Untimely Stress

This refers to

working very hard after sundown,

sleeping late,

stress-induced poor quality sleep/insomnia.

After sundown,

our body goes into parasympathetic nervous mode

to activate Th1 immunity (intracellular immunity).

If we engage with work stress

or physical stress (including rigorous exercise)

during evening time,

our body will switch back

to sympathetic nervous mode,

compromising Th1 immunity

which is important to fight

viral, parasitic infection and cancers.

When Th1 dominates the day time

(while it should have been Th2 by default),

due to resting too much,

one tends to get immune disorders like:

Multiple Sceloris

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Irritable Bowel Disease

When Th2 dominates the night time

(while it should have been Th1 by default),

due stress after sundown/overnight

one tends to get immune disorders like:

Allergies

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Cancer

Therefore,

in order to have a healthy immune system,

other than diet,

we also ought to watch over our lifestyle.

Work-Life balance

ensuring we don't work after sundown

can help us wade off or recover from viral infection and cancers.

Keeping ourselves aspired and motivated

will reduce the chance of

over-relaxation during the day,

and reduce chance of organ-specific autoimmune disorders.

Yet in another post to come, we will discuss how immunity sometimes can be hijacked leading to life risking tragedy.

Meanwhile,

let's learn to live by the Rhythm of

the Sun and the Moon.

Well wishes,

We have been discussing

how strong and intelligent

Microplastic in food chain compromising immunity

our natural immunity is

and

have learnt the natural way

to facilitate our natural immunity.

However, there are situations

where our intact natural immunity

could be compromised by toxins or external interference.

These toxins or external interference

comes in all forms,

from pesticides to environmental pollutants,

to heavy metals to pharmaceutical drugs,

to hormones to intravenous xenobiotics(eg vaccine).

When interference enter our body,

our immune system can be

. blocked/suppressed from their usual response

e.g. steroid

. aggravated beyond their usual behavior

e.g. aluminium

. misled to behave absnormally

e.g. microplastic

. prone to cancer growth

e.g. glyphosate

Therefore,

in order to minimise external toxins

entering our body,

we have to

1. avoid chemicals/additives, especially those in manufactured/processed foods, skincare, clothing and household items

2. scrutinize if our foods are grown/raised with pesticides and hormones

3. refuse intravenous allopathic intervention (especially hormones, stem cells, vaccines)

4. live/work in area with the least pollution possible (including EMF pollution)

Other than external interference,

our immune system can also be compromised by a hay-wired lifestyle.

This, we will discuss in detail in the next post.

May all be well,

Kee Yew

The critical question:

Natural Immunity is the strongest solution

IF our natural immunity is so powerful

that it fights every pathogen on Earth,

WHY do people get sick or even die from a disease?

First, we have to discern that our natural immunity

is a system designed to be dynamic,

capable of training and memory functions,

in order to handle unpredictable number of pathogens.

This is why it's successful to help humanity pull through all pandemics

-- we need a fluidic, dynamic, flexible solution to tackle

highly variable and mutative pathogens (which are like moving targets)

In contrary, allopathic drugs and vaccines have locked in on specific targets.

By luck, the drugs and vaccines would work,

but they will always work for a short period of time,

until the pathogens evolve through constant mutations.

-- this type of remedial strategy is likened

using a uni-directional cannon to shoot a flying plane.

Second, although our natural immunity

has a wise design to handle moving targets,

this system will not work

if our nourishment and life force are deficient.

When we are poorly nourished,

we would not have enough building materials

to build antibodies,

to make immuno hormones

to expand white blood cells etc

When we are lack of life force,

our metabolism will drop,

hence the efficiency of our immune system will be slow,

our immunity will take a longer time

to respond and to make large permutation of antibodies etc

Our natural immunity is a system or strategy intelligently laid out,

but when building material and energy supply are lagging,

the system will not be able to perform properly.

Therefore, instead of doubting our natural immunity

we should understand that our immunity fails

(or responds slower than the pathogens' speed of invasion),

because there is a lacking of proper nutrition

or our body are low in energy/metabolism.

How to be nourished properly and to keep up with peak metabolism

are topics too big, out of the scope of this series of posts.

But here are some simple tips

to ensure we get proper nourishment and life force:

a. Home cooked food

b. Wholesome food (not refined, not preocessed, not manufactured)

c. Plant based food

d. Organic food

c. Biogenic food (Sprouted or Fermented)

Home cooked food

Wholesome food

Plant based food

Organic food

Biogenic food -- Sprouted

Biogenic food -- Fermented

In other words, in case we are sick,

instead of turning into pharmaceutical quickfix,

try the above 5 tips,

to facilitate our natural immunity to work efficiently.

Next post, we will discuss about situations where our natural immunity gets interfered/misguided and hence unable to perform properly.

Till then, keep well with good nourishment ^^

May all be healthy,

Kee Yew

Often times we heard biased narratives like

Immuno Genes Clusters & DNA Shufflings

our natural immune system may not be able

to tackle a certain new strain of pathogen,

hence we need help from

allopathic drugs or vaccines.

While it holds true to minimal extent that

we may fail to defend from an infection

hence causing some suffering and distress,

our body usually overcomes the infection

over certain time frame.

In any infection,

our natural immunity is the only solution we can rely on.

All other methodologies or healing modalities are

there to only support our natural immunity.

Unfortunately, we have been biasedly guided

by the media and politicians with vested interest,

to interfere our natural immunity

with clinically unproven pharmaceutical drugs (eg Remdesivir) and vaccines (eg Pfizer Biontech)

that eventually impair our natural immunity and bodily functions.

The reason why our natural immunity is the only solution

is because it is already the best solution.

In the biological world we are living in

pathogens come in shapes and sizes.

The number of the types of strains and species of pathogens

is countless.

This is worsened by the constant mutation of the pathogens.

By using allopathic drugs and vaccines,

it will always be limited in their targeting range.

The pathogenic reference used for making a vaccine is only one type,

while the types of pathogens out there are astronomical in number.

This is why allopathic drugs and vaccines

are always predestined to fail.

In contrary, while natural immunity

may take some time to build up,

it will always succeed.

Here is the reason:

almost never in mainstream narrative,

we are revealed of the basic immunological fact of

immuno DNA shuffling/genetic recombination.

In order to find the right antibody

specific to any incoming pathogen at any time,

our antibody-making gene region,

constantly undergoes hypermutation and recombinatorial events

to keep up with unknown pathogen

by the ramping up the antibody permutations diligently.

Our natural immunity is basically dynamic,

that's why it will always win eventually.

The following turorial video will help visualise the dynamism of immuno DNA shuffling

and will awe ourselves how magnificent our natural immunity to begin with:

A critical question now arise:

-- IF natural immunity is so invincilble and eventually always win,

WHY people still get sick ov even die from an infection?

We will explain about this on the next post.

Meanwhile, we reflect inwards,

thankfully embrace our body,

say sorry to our defence system for not trusting them watching over us all the time,

ask for forgiveness from our white blood cells and antibodies,

and quietly whisper I LOVE YOU, NATURAL IMMUNITY!

Blessings!

We are living in a very information explosive era

where every piece of information

is diced and minced

to the extent we lose the holistic view.

Many a time it's exactly this manner

how information is presented to us in narrow perspectives

that has lead us to misunderstand the context

hence making the inappropriate judgements and decisions.

Our immune system is one the victims.

During the Covid scam period,

we have all been "educated" by politicians and media

that our immunity was not able to handle the new strain cold virus.

but no substantiation was given at all.

In fact they could not provide evidences,

because by fundamental immunology,

they are contradictive.

During the course of a pathogen (eg virus, bacteria, fungi, parasites)

making a host (patient) sick,

there are a myriad of factors involved

From the perspective of :

(I) Pathogen

- the virulence of the pathogen (how aggresive the pathogen is)

- dosage of exposure (how much pathogen particles went into our body)

- frequency of expsoure (how quickly we get more pathogen in again)

(II) Targeted Host

- immunity strength (which is highly related to nourishment and metabolism)

- immunity memory (did the host get infected by the same pathogen or its relatives before)

Any of the above factors,

going against the favour of the pathogen

will totally fail or reduce the severity of the infection.

Therefore, the narrative that once the flu season is in,

we may all die from the flu,

unless we all get vaccinated

is very biased.

That is because the narrative

totally discounts these factors:

- the virulence of the flu strain which is unknown

- one may not get enough dosage to get infected if they are not in crowded places (eg shopping centres)

- one may not get severe infection if one reduce frequency of visiting crowded places

- one's immunity is strong

- one actually got infected by similar strains and have already gained immunological memory

The politicians and media,

in order to achieve their vested interest,

always focus on:

i. worst case scenario

(presuming all people are immunity impaired,

exposed intensively to most virulent pathogen in human history)

ii. ignoring the probability of such a worst case scenario (which is extremely low)

iii. refrain to reveal easy ways out to avoid the worst case scenario

(eg. going out to spacious natural space often, gardening under gentle sun, eat more home-cooked food)

Below, I summarise in tabulation, the pathogenesis (how we get sick) and suggestions on

how we can easily maneuver from dying from, or severely infected by any kind of pathogen

we can do any of the above in combination to highly reduce the chance of being sick.

Next post, we will discuss on how our natural immunity, without allopathic intervention, fights so many diseases so successfully.

Many blessings,

Understanding Molecular Mechanisms of Spike Protein and Remediations

2024-03-01T21:55:00.002+08:00

Bromelain proven
to digest away the S-Protein

Many people have been discussing about detoxing remedies,

in the wake of the toxicity of molecularly engineered Spike Protein

hovering around the last few years.

However, many of the remedies, though recommeneded reputated sources,

may not be totally effective, due to the evolving context in the last few years.

Before considering any detoxing remedies,

1. We must first, discern between SARS-CoV2 viral infection

vs Spike protein intoxication fr vaccination

2. Also, we need to discern between the primary effect and secondary effect

from a specific detoxing remedy of interest.

3. Furthermore, we have to discern between the mechanism of primary effects

whether it removes the spike proteins or it simply blocks/neutralise the spike proteins.

If we don't understand the above 3 essential points

we will be happily taking remedies but still end up unwell.

A lot of remedies recommended including some from FLCCC and WCH

were to resolve SARS-Cov2 virus problem mainly.

They don't quite specifically target spike protein intoxication

or vaccine intoxication.

A remedy that prevents propagation of virus or viral entering human cells,

don't fully protect us fr spike protein intoxication.

For instance, shikimic acid may kill a virus, or block virus entering our cell,

but it will fail to curb the HIV fragment

of the engineered spike protein that lowers one's immunity.

What we truly need now are remedies that target spike protein,

not a living SARS-Cov2 virus

(which has already evolved to tame down,

or may even have lost the engineered fragments).

If a remedy truly does target the Spike Protein,

then we need to understand whether

it remediates the primary or secondary effect from Spike Protein.

Many of the herbals/supplements out there,

simply reduce inflammation caused by Spike Protein only.

Eg Antioxidant pills. It reverses inflammation after spike protein causes the inflammation.

But the remedy doesn't act directly on the spike protein

to prevent it from initiating an inflammation from the beginning.

This idea is especially crucial because we can never keep up with

the ever continuing inflammation

caused by an active Spike Protein staying inside our body.

Some remedies even it works directly on Spike Protein,

their mechanisms don't resolve the situation in-depth.

For example, dark tea or even ivermectin,

they work directly on the Spike Protein by blocking or neutralising the Spike Protein,

but they don't destroy the Spike Protein.

Over time, when dark tea components and ivermectin naturally degrade,

the spike protein is again released to do all its nasty work.

Therefore, we need to specifically look for remedies that

. Target spike protein not the virus

. Resolve the primary effect of spike protein, not the secondary effect

. Destroy the spike protein not only neutralising it.

So far, it's suggested by Dr Peter McCollough,

that supplement form of high dose

Bromelain and Nattokinase (non food form)

can eventually allow significant amount of the enzymes

to enter blood stream to directly destroy and digest away Spike Protein.

This is noteworthy especially many people may want to resort to food sources of

Bromelain and Nattokinase (ie Pineapple and Natto)

But, when Bromelain and Nattokinase are taken in food forms,

. They work as food digestive enzyme and

get exhausted in the gut before entering blood stream

. There may not be sufficient dosage to enter blood stream

to digest away the Spike Proteins inside the blood.

Despite the highlights on Bromelain and Nattokinase,

all other natural remedies

(eg black tea, ginger, pine needles, Zinc, VitD etc) are still valuable,

because they at least help buy time and prevent the situation worsening.

Just that we must combine with remedies that

digest away the spike protein our body,

otherwise ultimately we will still lose the battle despite extra time we buy.

To understand better why we must detox away the Spike Protein,

let us see how

the engineered Spike protein bring these 3 major damages:

A. Inflammation

the inflammation caused by spike protein

is not limited to any tissue and organ of the body.

If the inflammation is triggered in critical organs like brain and heart,

the consequences could be acute and there would be little time to respond.

Buy time remedies:

all kind of antioxidants supplements and herbs, including Vit C, VitE, fruit blend etc

Root targeting remedy:

Bromelain and Nattokinase

B. Immunity lowering (due to HIV insert)

the immunity lowering effects of the Spike Protein have now known to cause

Shingles, Turbo-Cancer (uncurbed dramatic tumour progress) and Tuberculosis etc.

The detrimentation from the immunity suppression

could be daunting financially, emotionally and physically.

Buy time remedies:

all sorts of natural herbs including black tea , turmeric, VitD

Root targeting remedy:

Bromelain and Nattokinase

C. Blood precipitation/coagulation (due to Prion insert)

this is the longest lasting effect of the spike protein,

in which the spike protein could virtually "grow" in our body.

This is also the very reason why non-jabbed individuals

are also susceptible to eventual death,

by just breathing in Spike Proteins from vaccinated individuals.

Theoretically, when one molecule of non-living Spike Protein,

enter our body, it would "teach" some of our native good protein to misfold.

the misfolding of good proteins will "resonate" with the Spike Protein

and further influence other good proteins to misfold.

As more misfold proteins meet up,

they would also crosslink (amyloidal effect) and precipitates.

If this happens in the brain, it clogs the brain,

if it happens in the blood stream, it clogs the arteries.

The final episode would be fatality.

Buy time remedies:

anti-coagulant herbals and supplements eg shikimic acids, pine needle tea, anistar,

Root targeting remedy:

Bromelain and Nattokinase

Noteworthy to mention:

A lot of non-jabbed individuals are very self contented,

not knowing they are on slow die formula like any jabbed individuals,

if they are not willing to take bromelain or nattokinase.

Non-jabbed individuals are constantly breathing in

spike proteins shedded from mRNA jabbed individuals.

The effect on non-jabbed individuals will show up very late

as dosage is low, compared to Sinovac jabbers.

Sinovac jabbers will show up the effect later than mRNA jabbers,

as the dosage lower than mRNA jabbers.

Basically, we are all pots calling the kettle black.

We just get the intoxication at different speed.

Finally,

as the real problem is actually the vaccine,

bromelain and Nattokinase are also not enough,

simply because despite the spike protein being the major toxins,

there are also many other "auxiliary" toxins in the vial.

eg Graphene Oxide, Nano-tised Heavy metals and other Chemicals.

To address the other toxins in the vaccine:

All sorts of supplements and herbals

that improve liver detox function are important.

Eg curcumin , organosulphur supplements

(eg MSM, spirulina, bamboo salt, milk thistle, Alpha Lipoic Acid, etc.)

To improve the dynamism of our bodily detoxing function,

Probiotics and fermented food (miso, natto, tempeh, dark tea)

are also recommended.

-- Note that the natto here doesn't digest away spike protein,

but will improve overall bodily life force.

Pardon the lengthy article, but I do my best

to help analyse the situation to prevent futile supplements popping,

and anchoring on fake hopes.

To offer bit of confidence to the write up above,

I am a former biotechologist with 11yrs molecular genetics experience

in cancer and stem research laboratories.

Most importantly I am now a freelance vegan nutrition teacher

with no string attached to government and private pharmaceutical companies.

The Dynamism of Plant Based Living

2024-01-16T21:57:00.005+08:00

Veganuari 2024 Malaysia

Rejoicing the Veganuary Movement,

a global initiative to encourage people

to cut down meat consumption in the first month of the year,

I elaborate here how plant based diets

come in diversified forms.

This is especially necessarily

when there are more commoners being new to plant based living

but confused about it...

eg.

~can vegetarian drink milk?

~why some vegetarians are taking eggs?

~I didn't know vegan doesn't take honey

~isn't seafood vegetarian too?

The above questions are not silly,

neither they reflect any ignorance.

In broad sight,

diet is truly the manifestation of one's mind and will.

While we appreciate,

there are no two minds being exactly the same,

so shall we anticipate,

no two different person's dietetic practice would be exactly the same.

Hence the confusing differences among the vegetarian/vegan community.

A community may share similar philosophies/principles of living/diet,

however, the members of that community,

would still vary in their eventual practices,

due to differential personal approaches and external factors.

In general, most people agree that we should:

.do less harm to animals,

.take good care of our own health

and

.be more eco-friendly.

Therefore, it's not difficult to observe that

common people do not exclusively eat meat for long term.

This is considered an omnivorous diet

which is the most prominent dietetic culture nowadays.

With an omnivorous diet,

although very weak,

we still see the manifestation of good will for overall wellbeing on Earth.

This is also the most convenient way to do less harm to others,

but of course the impact is obviously of the least too.

There are people who feel stronger about

animals' welfare, personal wellness and environmental conservation.

They would then take that omnivorous regimen to a stricter level,

by adopting more meatless meals in a stipulated period of time

(e.g. once per week, twice a month etc)

These people may claim that they are part-time vegetarians,

as they do impose some restriction/inconvenience on themselves

to practice meatless living periodically,

-- although they would still take animal products like eggs, dairy and honey.

As the story goes on,

we would anticipate there would also be people

having even stronger feelings and willings

to bring bigger impact to the world,

by incurring even stricter regimens,

undertaking greater inconvenience,

and choosing to declare that they are

full time vegetarians and vegans of different "variants".

These variable forms of vegetarian/vegan diet that they choose,

whether

. ovo-lacto-vegetarian,

. ovo-vegetarian,

. lacto-vegetarian,

. honey-vegetarian,

. strict vegan,

many a time are subject to conditioning factors

~family culture,

~accessibility of veg at work place,

~nature of occupation,

~ability to cook by themselves etc.

This is how the plant based community could be so dynamically diversified.

While some vegans may think,

we all could do even better by giving up egg, dairy and honey,

this dynamism of plant based living, at variable intensities and impact,

should still be celebrated.

-- for every individual is doing one's best part to do less harm.

Furthering from veganism,

(a dietetic regimen which avoid all animal-derived ingredients)

depending on even stronger feeling and willingness

for the betterment of humanity and religious/spiritual cultivation,

one may also impose other restrictions on

cooked foods (ie going raw), tubers, mushrooms, garlic, onions, nightshades crops,

or even going beyond dietetic restrictions,

refusing garments and tools made from animal parts.

I tabulate below the myriad degrees of plant based living,

for clarity

and also to emphasize that

we are all of no difference,

whether we choose the convenient way out to go omnivorous, part time veg,

or full time vegan,

as long as the very blessings for Mother Earth, Animals and Our Personal Wellbeing,

are constantly within our mind :)

Finally, may I invite you to pledge for at least one vegan meal in this January here at:

https://bit.ly/myveg2024

(and get a free vegan recipe book, Malaysian style, after pledging ^.^)

Many blessings to Mother Earth, Animals and Wellbeing!

New Era Detoxification

2023-06-07T00:12:00.006+08:00

Detoxification should be
an integral part of
this new era living

The following message carries good wills in depth,

without the intention to offend any party......

Hypothetically,

one day, it happens that world population

are all intentionally poisoned in large scale,

We need to understand that these poisons are likely to

to damage our health through the following major manners:

A. promoting inflammation

(to increase chance of athritis, myocarditis etc)

B. lowering immunity

(to hike up cancer and flu infection rate)

C. creating prion-like amyloidal effect

(to create exponential self-clogging in brain and blood system)

D. introducing xeno-biotics

(foreign chemical/biological substances to disrupt our bodily metabolism and to damage DNA)

E. introducing nano particulated heavy metals

(to allow crossing of gut lining and blood-brain barrier to cause critical damage)

In order to detoxify these poisons,

detoxification remedies specific to

the above damaging mechanism

are required.

The followings are some remedies with more prominant efficacy:

1. Anti-inflammation remedies:

Aged Dark Tea, Herbal Teas, Vegetable Juices, Spirulina, Chlorella, Bromelain

2. Immunity Boosting remedies:

Probiotics, Aged Dark Tea, 9x Roasted Bamboo Salt, Medicinal Mushroom extracts, Sunshine, Forest Bathing, Adaptogenic herbs （eg. ginseng, codonopsis, rhodiola, astragalus, maca)

3. Anti-amyloidal remedies:

Bromelain, Aged Dark Tea

4. Removal of Xeno-biotics remedies:

9x Roasted Bamboo Salt, Spirulina, Chlorella, Probiotics, Bromelain

5. Removal of heavy metal remedies:

9x Roasted Bamboo Salt, Spirulina, Chlorella, Probiotics

Summing the above, in the event we are impoisoned with the unknown,

the minimal but comprehensive

list of natural detox remedies recommended would be:

* Aged Dark Tea (e.g. Liubao, Puer, English Breakfast, Earl Grey)

~ 5g daily brewed with 500ml hot water in hot tumbler

* Probiotics (must be clinically proven, third party scrutinised)

~ once daily for 9months, followed by once weekly as future mantainence

* 9x Roasted Bamboo Salt

~ 9g daily (split into 6 times throughout the day) for 3 months, followed by 6g daily for 6month, 3g daily as future maintainence

* Organic Spirulina/Chlorella

~8g daily (split into 2 times)

* Bromelain (must be taken empty stomach, so that it enters bloodstream to detox)

~ 500mg daily, empty stomach (either before sleep or 2hrs before breakfast) for 2month every quarter

we just realise we have already been poisoned,

we must start taking all the above 5, without any delay.

May the world be in peace,

Kee Yew

Healing with Common Herbs (4)

2022-11-24T12:15:00.004+08:00

With only simple 4 families of herbs

Medicinal Garden

-- mint, hibiscus, chrysanthemum and ginger

in our garden (or in our kitchen)

we can prevent and treat a lot of common ailments

at home!

Here are some 10 common discomforts

that can be remediated/mitgated with garden herbs:

1. Constipation

>> Tea of Mint and Ginger

>> Tea of Roselle

2. Bloating

>> Tea of Roselle and Basil

>> Tea of Shiso (leaves and stems) and Ginger

3. Sore thoat

>> Salad Ulam Raja

>> Soup of TongHao

4. High blood pressure

>> Soup of Mugwort

>> Tea of Mint and Roselle

5. Fever

>> Tea of White Hibiscus leaves

>> Tea of Chrysanthemum

6. Diarrhea

>> Tea of Chamomile

7. High Blood Glucose

>> Overnight decoction of Lady Fingers

>> Tea of Tulasi (Holy Basil)

8. Headache

>> Tea of Mugwort and Ginger

9. Muscle Pain

>> Soy Milk with Turmeric (+Black Pepper)

10. Cough

>> Tea of Basil and Ginger

The dosage of the above remedies are flexible, as they are basically food.

For Teas,

Brew in a thermal flask with 500mL boiling hot water,

5g of fresh leaves/flowers or 30g of fresh fruits, 15g of roots,

Take 4 times a week and rest for 3 days.

If the effect is not there, double the above ingredients.

For soups, simply add in a cup or two of the fresh leaves,

or as per personal preference.

For turmeric milk,

simply blend 10g fresh turmeric

and a few black pepper corn

into salted soy milk (or any plant milk).

Note:

For healing, we generally prefer non-sweetened decocotion

as sugar brings up acidity

while the actual goal is to bring down acidity in the body.

The decoctions often taste astrignent and bitter

rendering them difficult to palate down.

Try using salt and sour juices to neutralise instead.

Sipping the decoction while hot,

will also reduce the adverse feeling

from the astringency/bitterness.

In really "difficult" situation

(eg complaints from small kids)

use only very minimal amount of healthier sweetener

(eg fruit skins, dates, whole cane, molasses, oligosaccharides).

May the ideas above inspire us

to lead a drug-less lifestyle!

Toast to good health :D

Healing with Common Herbs (3)

2022-10-14T01:31:00.003+08:00

Red Shiso

We have now understood that

a herb garden is actually a "medicine box".

Here, we discuss how should we "design"

this "medicine box"

ie. what herbs are essentials in our garden?

As most herbs that we grow in the garden

have relatively short life span,

the functions of these herbs

are mostly likely inclined towards detoxification.

It's not a bad idea to design

a medicine box which

mainly do detoxification.

This is because in traditional healing,

detoxification often is a pre-requisite for most prescriptions.

In holistic healing,

there are two important systems that need to be detoxified:

Intestine and Liver

To address the above requirements,

there are 3 families of herbs

that we should grow in our gardens:

(A) Mint family

E.g. Peppermint, Shiso, Rosemary, Thai Basil, Tulasi, Cat Whiskers (leaf, stem & flower)

This family of herbs help to cleanse the Large Intestines, and help purgation.

Due to some established TCM concepts,

Large Intestine and Lung systems are directly associated,

mint family will naturally detoxes the lung system too

(B) Hibiscus family

E.g. Red hibiscus (flower), White hibiscus (flower&leaf), Lady Finger(fruit), Roselle(fruit),

This family of herbs are known to be slightly laxative,

therefore, they help in small and large intestinal health.

Very often a choked up digestive system,

bring about fever, dirty blood and bad skins,

Hisbiscus family is hence good in bringing down fever,

and improving skin quality.

E.g. Chrysanthemum (flower), chamomile (flower), ulam raja/cosmos (flower and leaf), mugwort (leaf), TongHao (leaf),

This family of herbs are good at detoxifiying the liver,

and therefore can mitigate high blood pressure, sore throat,

infections, inflammation and eye problems.

The above 3 families of detoxing herbs usually can be grown with ease.

When our gardening skills mature,

we could also try growing

(D) Ginger family

E.g. Ginger (root), Galangal (root), Turmeric(root),

to perfect the "collection".

This family of herbs will take 9-11months to grow,

and require soil which is rich and fertile.

-- 3 characters are hinted, root, age and minerals.

Hence we know these herbs are good for building life force!

Whenever we feel any form of disorder just start sets in,

ginger or tumeric roots are always a good remedy!

Ginger family goes very well any of the above detoxing family

to balance the Yin and Yang, or

to mitigate any overpowering detoxifying effects.

The numbers of herbs we "should" grow in our garden

is basically endless.

But with the blessings of only 4 types of herbs above,

a lot of common sicknesses could be quickly attended to.0

Next, we will study a little deeper,

how a lot of modern ailments can be creatively remediated

using the 4 family of herbs from our garden. Stay tuned :)

Best wishes,

Other than identifying

Manifestation
of life force
from a seed

through the forms of the herbs,

whether they enhance life force or detoxify interferences,

there are also some other characters

that provide some tips:

Life Force Enhancing herbs are often:

. firm and tough in appearance

e.g. lotus seed, astragalus root

. "aged" (either biological age or fermented age)

e.g. 7yr ginseng, 20yr lingzhi, 3yr hatcho miso

. very rich in minerals/salty

e.g. ginseng, macadmia, goma-shio (salted black sesame)

Detoxifying herbs are often:

. soft and easy to tear

e.g. mulberry leaves, fresh oyster mushroom, ulam raja

. watery or juicy (succulent)

e.g. pear, pumpkin, aloe vera

. bitter or astringent in taste

e.g. phyllanthus, moringa leaves, basil

. aromatic, pungent or spicy

e.g. chilli, cumin, cinnamon

Thanks to the wonderful spectrum

of herbs/plants in this world,

we now understand that

we have never been deprived of good medicines.

Basically, when we are unwell,

we first need to know whether

we are in need of

.life force replenishing?

.detoxification? or

.sometimes both?

Then anything around us that fit the criteria

will help.

For instance,

if one is feeling unwell, having cold hand and cold feet,

then one may want to consume some astragalus

which is a root, rich in minerals, tough in appearance.

If astragalus is not available,

it's not a bad idea to consume shio-goma

which is tough black sesame seeds toasted with sea salt that is rich in minerals.

In situation where somebody has been constipated for 4days,

he may need to consider taking

Aloe vera

which is succulent, soft leaf , bitter in taste

Mint

which is aromatic, easy to tear, leaf structure astringent in taste

Possibilities are many!

This is also why we should always have

a herbal garden ever readily accessible

wherever we live.

Herbal garden is our first aid medicine box.

We shall discuss this further in the next post,

on what essential herbs/plants we should have in the garden :)

Many Blessings To All!!

Fresh Herbs from Garden

Gone is the era

we entrusted our health and wellness management

to professionals and modern medical system

which are now corrupt and unscrupulous.

Now is the time

we reclaim the authority of

personal wellness management and

relearn the fundamentals of natural healing.

In contrary to many brain-washing narratives

propagated by pharmaceutical-centric systems,

healing is far from being a rocket science.

This is especially true when we deal with common herbs

for natural healing of common ailments.

First, we need to understand the two major functions of herbs

and the types of herbs associated:

(A) Improvement of Life Force

In healing, there are situations where

the patients are sick because of the deficiency of life force.

Life force is the driver and coordinator of life,

hence when deficient of Life Force,

the patients lack healing power to re-organise their health,

In such cases,

replenishing life force is the logical step.

This infers on herbs that provide life force.

Herbs that provide life force can be identified

from their forms of:

i. Root

E.g. Ginger, Turmeric, Astragalus, Dongquai, Kudzu, Maca

and

ii. Seed

E.g. Lotus seed, Walnut, Almond, Black Sesame, Purple Rice, Petai (stinky bean)

The herbs above are generally beneficial for ailments which are associated to

. Poor peristalsis

. Poor sleep

. Poor Immunity

. Hormonal imbalance

. Infertitity/gynecological disorders

. Weak/Cold limbs

. Cold cough/Asthma

. Depression

and other symptoms that show the lack of life coordination.

(B) Detoxification of Interference

Another major group of sickness

is often due to intoxication and blockages in bodily systems.

When the bodily systems are interfered by toxins and blockages,

the basic operations of the system will naturally spell troubles.

The logical solution would be

the removing of the toxins and blockages

or in more common term, detoxification.

Herbs that detoxify can be identified from their forms of:

. Leaf

E.g. Basil, Mint, Mulberry leaves, Pandan, Guava leaves, Kaduk, Ulam Raja, Chinese Tea

. Stem

E,g, Lotus root, Cilantro, Parsley, Celery

. Flower

E.g. Rose, Chrysanthemum, Hibisbus flower, Papaya flower

. Fruit

E.g. Roselle, Kedondong, Mulberries, Hawthorn, Lime

The herbs above are generally beneficial for ailments which are associated to:

. Constipation

. Bloating

. Fever

. Gall/kidney stones

. High blood pressure/glucose/cholesterol

. Dry cough

. Food/Drugs poisoning

and other symptoms that suggest "choking"/disruption of bodily systems

Next, we will discuss futher on other general traits of herbs

to help understand their healing functions

(to be continued...)

Well regards,

Dark Tea as Basic Household Medicine

2022-10-10T02:28:00.003+08:00

Liu Bao Tea

Some 8 years ago,

I met a tea connoisseur,

Mr Henry Yau and owner of Cha Zhi Ji.

He educated me about the art and science of tea,

and got me very interested in dark tea

(especially LiuBao Tea).

During years of learning from Mr Yau,

I gathered that dark tea has traditionally been serving as

commoners' household medicine since ancient China,

as it helps digestion, detoxifies our body and tames inflammation.

Modern research publications also have revealed more evidences

how dark tea could also

reduce blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol

on top of its anti-cancer and anti-microbial effects.

It's unfortunate that we are now living in a world where

pharmaceutical drugs are abused,

herbal healings are surpressed,

medical systems are corrupt.

Hence, dark tea could be a humble way out

to bypass the predicaments above,

and to provide avenues for prevention/treatment of

modern diseases/disorders

from indigestion, diabetes, cardviovascular disorders, cancers,

to microbial infections

to intoxication

to neurological disorders.

While all teas are known for its adverse effects

on stomach (due to tannin)

and sleep (due to caffeine),

knowing how to select for good quality dark tea

is imperative if we would like to adopt dark tea

for long term consumption

as preventive care and

as a basic household medicine.

According to Henry,

selecting good quality dark tea

with less tannin and caffeine,

being gentle to stomach and sleep,

have to fullfil the following criteria:

1. Centrury-old tea tree:

The older the tea tree, the more life force it has.

With stronger life force,

the tea tree does not need to produce much caffeine and tannin

which are meant for the tree's self defence.

2. Grown on highlands:

Growing on highlands with a colder climates,

the tea trees get less attack from pests

which stimulate the production of tannin and caffeine for self defence.

3. Grown organically, without pesticides

Pesticides in unknown mechanism,

bring about in tea leaves,

substances that attack the stomach.

4. Long time aging

Longer aging of dark tea represents

more beneficial microbial fermentation.

The microbial activities reduces substances

which are harmful to the stomach and neurological system,

rendering more comfortable effect after drinking.

Based on the above criteria,

the good quality dark tea selected

will not only avoid adversities on the stomach and sleep,

it will also be very high in life force.

And life force is key driver of all self healing.

I hope this simple message

can get across the world

to help people realise

good medicine can be relatively cheap and accessible,

despite the threats and fears cooked up daily through immoral media,

by the corrupt complex of

the commercial, medical, academic and polictical systems.

May all be well!

By good will,

Kee Yew

Dark Tea as Basic Defence in Unusual Time

2022-10-08T22:06:00.004+08:00

Dark Tea

A while ago, I sent some messages to my dear friends,

reminding them

despite the Cobid crime seems to be easing

we must not be complacent to continue

to protect ourselves with daily intake of fermented dark tea.

The dark tea applies to both

waxed and non waxed individuals,

as we are being exposed daily varied dosages of

Spi proteins one way or another.

In other words,

we are being exposed to elevated level of toxins daily,

and fermented dark tea can serve as good antidote.

Dark tea neutralises many toxins,

tames down inflammation，

inhibits virel replication and

mitigate clottings.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Suggestion on daily dark tea consunmption routine:

Brew in thermal flask

5g(or 2teaspoon) of fermented dark tea leaves

with boiling hot water 500-1000ml.

Decant from thermoflask and sip hot slowly during the day

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Examples of dark teas are:

LiuBao Tea

PuEr Tea

Earl Grey Tea

English Breakfast Tea

If possible, get organic versions, for long term consumption

to avoid unnecessary complications from pesticides.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Some important remarks of tea drinking:

*The more aged the dark tea(say above 10years), the higher the potency.

*Do not drink the tea cold, sip hot, pour from thermal flask

*Do not drink near meal time, as dark tea prevents nutrients absorption.

*Avoid drinking tea at late night to avoid affecting sleep among some individuals.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

P/s: these engineered Spi proteins and Spi protein harbouring vireses, are capable of:

1. Inducing inflammation (that kick starts many diseases)

2. Lowering immunity of the hosts (aggravating just any diseases)

3. Inducing prion-like diseases that eventually lead to exponential proteins clottings

We should not take the above lightly at all

as consequences can detrimental down the years.

But neither we should lock ourselves down again.

Ultimately, it is our own responsibilities to fortify our own defence,

not blaming on others passing on the bugs/toxins.

Many blessings to Humanity,

Kee Yew

Overcoming Infectious Diseases 克服感染性疾病 (4)

2021-05-14T23:36:00.002+08:00

Mutation is natural tool
for evolution into harmonisation
突变是和谐化演进的途径

During this unusual time, where mainstream media,

for unknown reasons, spread incomplete and biased information,

common people become worried about:

Mutation is not exclusive to infectious agents.

It is a natural property of all biological beings on Earth.

It is a function for biological beings to evolve

to harmonise with the biosphere.

There are biological beings which mutate

much quicker than others.

This usually happens with more primitive and lower realm beings

-- because these lower beings are more susceptible

to hostility of the new environment,

and they need to keep shuffling the ways

they interact with the adverse environment

in order to harmonise and survive.

When new strain of infectious agent emerges,

they are "clumsy and reckless"

creating chaos and even death in the community.

But we know such chaos and death, as mentioned in previous posts,

can be mitigated, by boosting our own immunity, hygiene practices and keeping a distance.

The only goal of the infectious agent is to survive,

it's counter-intuitive for an infectious agent to kill it's host quickly.

Because once the host is killed quickly,

they will not be able spread to other new individuals and extinct.

The infectious agent once found out that it's too "reckless" (ie too virulent)

it will mutate to tone down

to eventually cause less severe symptoms or even no death.

Therefore mutation is important

for these infectious agent to blend into our society.

We know from previous post that

their blending into our society helps us

to improve our immunity

to face other infectious agent in future.

However, modern medicine takes a different view

on the emergence of infectious agents.

Modern doctors and scientists harp heavily on

killing, terminating, removing the infectious agent.

During such a hostile process,

the infectious agent could only respond

by mutating into more virulent strains.

The more artificial intervention is exerted,

the higher the resistance the infectious agent will gain.

Infectious agent's mutation towards hostility

can be easily solved by stopping artificial interventions

and practice the 'mantra' of:

1. immunity boosting

2. exposure reduction

When we face the infectious agent

in panic and with fear,

we buy into modern narrative that

the infectious agent is our enemy.

We will then adopt hostile measures

against the infectious agent,

whirling into a spiral-down viscous cycle.

Mutation is not anything to fear about.

What is truly concerning is

human being's intention towards the infectious agent:

A. Terminating the infectious agent?

B. Accepting it in sensible intensity of exposure, with boosted immunity

If it is (A) ,

the infectious agent will mutate to defend and to resist,

and eventually will become more virulent.

If it is (B),

there is no driving force to mutate into higher virulence.

Instead, human acceptance will drive it to mutate

towards low virulence, high contagiousness,

to establish its existence in our biosphere.

It is know that throughout human evolution,

we have accepted so many of these infectious agents

into our body, even deep down to DNA level,

that they are now 8% of human genetic material!

These infectious agents successfully incorporated into our DNA

so that they get to propagate with human,

every time, our cell divides

-- interestingly these infectious agents

often have to offer some kind of beneficial gain of function

to incorporate into our DNA

(which will be too elaborate to mention here)

The (B) scenario

is the exact opposite of modern narrative

that infectious agents are our enemies.

As mentioned in previous posts,

we should instead see them as

our new colleagues at the work place.

They are here for a good purpose.

But in the beginning,

we need to keep a sensible distance

(to prevent being harmed severely)

and deal with them with well-wishing tactics,

before both parties compromise and agree on

a mutually beneficial collaborative protocol.

Hope these few posts so far have offered

some empowering knowledge and clarity

to face the self-inflict illusion of infectious disease crisis.

With metta,

Kee Yew

***************

在目前的非常时代，

不知为何，主流媒体不断散播片面偏面资讯的当儿，

公众开始担心：

突变不是感染病原独有的。

那是地球上所有生物的自然特质。

突变是生物用来演进的功能，

以和谐地融入生物圈。

有些生物

尤其是原始低等生物的突变率

会比别的来得高。

--这是因为这些低等生物应对

新环境的威胁时，来得脆弱，

而必须不停地变换方法，来应对环境的苛刻

才能和谐地融入生存。

当新的菌株刚浮出时，

它们一般会显得比较“笨拙”，

在社群里制造混乱和伤亡。

不过我们知道，像先前叙述，这些混乱伤亡

是可以通过自我免疫提升、卫生习惯和隔离手法，

得到缓冲的。

感染病原唯一目标就只是求存而已；

把患主快速致死，并不符合病原取向。

因为如果病原快速把患主置之死地，

病原就会和患主玉石俱焚，没办法散播到其他个体，而绝种。

当病原发觉自己太笨拙（杀伤力太强）

自然就会演进

直至不产生严重症状和死亡。

所以说，对于病原渐进融入社会，

突变是很重要的，

先前叙述过，病原的社会融入

能让我们提升免疫能力

帮助我们将来抵抗别的病原。

现代医学却用另一个角度看待

新病原的浮现

现代医生与科学家强力主张

彻底杀灭，使致病原绝种。

在这种强势敌对的手法

只会让病原演进得更加凶悍。

非自然干预手法用得越甚

病原就越变越顽强。

病原对抗性的突变

可以很容易地解决的。

关键在于停止使用非自然干预法

和：

1. 提升自我免疫

2. 减缓与病原的接触

如果我们以恐慌恐惧面对病原

那么就很容易被误导

把病原看成是对敌，

然后施于强悍赶尽杀绝之策，

最后双方卷入每况愈下的恶性循环。

突变根本不可怕。

我们该关注的是

人类对待病原的意向:

A. 赶尽杀绝?

还是

B. 用适当的接触程度和增进免疫，来接受病原？

如果是 (A) ,

病原就会越变越固执

越有杀伤力。

如果是 (B),

病原就没有动力突变成更具杀伤力。

反而，会演进成低杀伤力-高传染力的菌株。

这样才能跟人类相处于同一个生物圈里。

人类进化史上，

我们其实接纳了不少像这样的感染病原，

甚至把它们融入了躯体和DNA里头。

时下的人类遗传物质里估计融入了8%的病原基因！

这些病原成功地嵌入人类DNA，

为的是能和人类同寿，

跟随每一次的人类细胞分裂而流传下去。

--有趣的是，这些病原都得给人类带来新增功能提升

才能换取人类DNA里头的一个座位

（有碍于篇幅，就不再展开解释）

(B) 处境

恰好跟时下认为病原是敌对的言论

唱反调。

先前说过，我们应该把病原看作是职场上的新同事。

他们加入公司是有一定的功用的。

起初，我们应该跟新同事保持恰当的距离

（避免摩擦受伤），

然后用祝福的心和他们打交道，

直至双方磨合达致双赢合作模式。

希望这数则文章

能赋予有用的知识和清晰感

破除我们自己招感的迷雾，

看穿这个不切实的感染病危机。

盼慈光普照,

Infectious agent is not our enemy
感染病原本无敌意

Another highly confused issue of infectious disease is:

(B) Infectious Agent

Most common concept about infectious agent is that

it is the enemy of human beings.

While this is true in some limited context,

in which the infectious agent causes

paralysis of our normal routines or even death,

infectious agent only causes significant impact

when:

i. we have low immunity due to

improper diet, lifestyle, living environment and mental state

ii. the intensity (dosage and frequency) of

exposure to infectious agent is unusually high

iii. the strain of infectious agent is

unusually novel (hence virulent) in its genetic make-up

When we are able to resolve the 3 concerns above,

we can live harmoniously with the infectious agent after infection

The corresponding measures are:

i. build immunity through nourishing and easy to digest diet

-- so that our bodies have all the nutrients to function

-- eating an easy to digest diet will help conserve more energy to be diverted into immunity

ii. reduce intensity through social distancing, masking, handwashing and less outing

iii. restrict cross-borders travelling (containment of the infectious source)

so that the novel strain will mutate into less virulent strain gradually

-- from infectious disease studies, we know that

the more virulent an infectious agent, the less contagious it is;

the more contagious the infectious agent, the less virulent it becomes.

-- infectious agents in order to improve their own survival (through increased contagiousness),

will naturally mutate to become less virulent, given sufficient time to interact with herd immunity.

(the next blog post will elaborate more on mutation of infectious agents)

If we implement all the above 3 measures together,

an infectious disease could be overcome within 12-24 months.

Ultimately, an infectious agent is not here to kill humanity

(hence it's not truly an enemy).

Infectious agents causes chaos and death in a community

(always for just a temporary transitional period only),

when the community has not yet adjusted with

the emergence of the new member (i.e. the novel infectious agent)

in our biosphere (collective term of all living things in a circle)

We have the same feeling

when we see a new colleague coming into our work place.

If we adjust well quickly,

the new colleague actually evolve with us.

If we take longer time to adjust,

the new colleague may look like our "enemy"

The more "eccentric" this new colleague is,

the more "pain" we suffer at work place (during the transitional period).

But we know eventually both old and new colleagues will harmonise,

as we want our lives to move on.

Hope the above information,

and deeper understanding about infectious agent,

give us more confidence and less fear

during this adjustment period,

By good will,

Kee Yew

********

还有一个严重被误解的感染性疾病课题是：

(B)感染病源

虽然在特定的处境，感染病原的确给人们带来生活上破坏，甚至是死亡，

病原一般上只在以下特定条件之下才会带来显著冲击：

i. 由于不良饮食、生活、环境、思维而造成免疫低下

ii. 异常的高密度（剂量和频率）接触感染原

iii. 异常新的感染病原菌株（故杀伤力极高）

如果我们能够解决以上3个关键，

人类染病后是可以和感染病原和谐共存的。

相对应的方案是：

i. 通过营养和容易消化的饮食增强免疫力

-- 确保有充足营养让我们身体灵活操作

-- 易消化的饮食能保守能量，灌注在免疫提升

ii. 通过社交距离、口罩、洗手、少出门来减缓与病原的接触

iii. 限制跨界串行（隔离感染源）来让新株病原逐渐演进到杀伤力较弱的菌株

-- 感染病研究显示，

越是有杀伤力的病原，其感染力越弱；

越是有感染力的病原，其杀伤力越弱

-- 感染病原为了确保它们的生存（透过广泛传染），

若给与足够时间和群体免疫磨合，必然会演进成杀伤力较弱的菌株

（下一节，将进一步讨论病原演进变异）

以上三种方案如果同步进行，

可以期盼在12-24个月克服感染性疾病的肆虐。

毕竟，感染病原本来就不是冲着人类而来的（它们本无敌意）

感染病原造成社群混乱和伤亡（一般也只是暂时性而已）

主要是因为社群还没适应

我们所熟悉的生物圈（我们周遭的生物总和统称）

突如其来的“新成员”（新菌株）

正如在一个工作场所，来了一位新同事。

如果大家磨合得迅速，这新同事会跟我们一块儿成长。

如果大家需要更长的时间适应，这新同事就看起来是大家的公敌。

这新同事越是性格怪异格格不入，

大家越是感到“痛苦”（其实是暂时性而已）。

不过最终，大家都知道新旧同事最终还是得磨合的，

毕竟双方都不想活得太痛苦。

希望以上资讯能给予大家对感染病原得深层认识，

在这段适应期，能生起信心，摒除恐惧。

真诚的祝愿！

Herd immunity comes from
genuine health
群体免疫来自实质健康

A lot of unnecessary fear of infectious diseases

are due to misunderstanding of

the science of immunity and infectious agents.

许多对感染性疾病的恐惧，其实是不必要的。

多半因为对免疫科学和感染病原有误解。

Here, we will revisit some common immunology concepts

which has been seriously misunderstood

through the deliberate effort of mainstream media

who try blur the concept for unknown reasons：

在此，我们重温一些免疫观念，

尤其是被主流媒体，按不明原因，刻意误导的常识：

At first we should really learn what truly are:

首先我们来了解什么是：

(A) Herd Immunity 群体免疫

Herd immunity is spoken in the context of a community.

In this community where infectious disease spread,

if there are good percentage of

genuinely healthy individuals with strong immunity,

the spread of the infectious agent will be hindered or retarded.

These genuinely healthy individuals when infected,

will become asymptomatic and stop/reduce spreading the infectious agent.

群体免疫，指的是，

在特定的社区里，

当感染性疾病扩散时，

如果有足够百分比的实质健康个体（免疫力强者），

病原的扩散会招到阻断或减缓。

这些实质健康者，被感染后，

不会呈现疾病症状，因此能够阻止病原散发。

When the dosage and speed of infectious agent reduce,

the other weaker individuals will have

more time to respond to the infectious agent,

eventually bringing down the severity level of the disease symptoms

and stop death from happening.

当病原剂量和扩散速度减缓，

群体里的弱者便能有更充足的时间对峙病原，

最终把疾病的严重状况减轻，

甚至阻止死亡的发生。

The narrative that we heard from the mainstream media

that only artificial intervention could bring about herd immunity

is a basically non-scientific at all.

我们在主流媒体听来的叙述，

指明唯有非自然干预手法才能达到群体免疫，

是非常不科学的说法。

In fact, the term of "herd immunity" has been hijacked

by the manufacturers of artificial intervention,

to make common people believe that our own human immunity is inferior

in facing a wide spread disease.

事实上，“群体免疫”一词已被

非自然干预手法的生产商盗用，

误导群众，在疾病肆虐时，人类的天然免疫系统，是不管用的。

Before the invention of artificial intervention,

every single global wide spread disease was overcome by human immunity.

These global events usually fade off between 12-24months,

without artificial intervention at all.

在发明非自然干预手法之前,

人类史上的每一个疾病大肆虐，都是人体天然免疫所克服的。

这些大肆虐，一般都在12-24个月内自动消散，不靠任何非自然干预法。

Some parts of the world suffered more seriously with significant death

during those events because of many reasons including

. unusually weak immunity

. unusually bad pollution

. intensive dosage/frequency of exposure to infectious agent

大肆虐期间，的确有些地区会有严重伤亡。其原因很多，包括：

。免疫异常低下

。环境污染异常严重

。高剂量、高频率接触病原

Most other parts of the world

would gradually build up herd immunity through

. healthy nourishment and lifestyle that led to strong immunity

. removal of pollution sources

. reduced dosage/frequency of exposure

(through hygiene practices and social distancing)

其余的地区则会透过以下方式建立群体免疫：

。健康饮食生活，增强免疫力

。污染源的清除

。卫生习惯守则与社交距离，减缓接触病原的剂量与频率

In the mainstream media,

the above narrative was almost totally omitted (for unknown reasons）

to convince common people that

*the "infectious efficacy" of an infectious agent

is exactly the same across the globe

(which is absolutely non-scientific),

hence artificial intervention is "a must"

regardless how healthy and how less polluted the community is. *

-- this is totally unacceptable.

主流媒体里，

基于不明原因，以上基本概念几乎完全不提，

为的是给公众一个错误的认知：

*--病原的感染几率全球是一样的

(非常不科学的认知）。

所以，不管该社群有多健康，有多少污染；

非自然干预手法的介入是一定要的。*

--这说法非常不要得。

Only with proper scientific knowledge,

we shall be empowered

to overcome infectious diseases.

只有透过正确的科学知识，

我们才能够克服感染性疾病。

Overcoming Infectious Diseases 克服感染性疾病 (1)

2021-05-12T13:07:00.001+08:00

During some lengthy texting conversations in the past few days, 
Sickness is a growing path 
生病是一种成长

trying to pacify good friends and students not to panic, 
I wrote these few words:

过去的几天，简讯交流中，
尝试着给好友和学生一些安抚，
写下了以下文章：

"It is important to know that we should not simply draw parallelism 
with others who had severe conditions, 
because our background/conditioning could be very different, 
eg we are blessed by much better hygiene culture/practices, 
healthier food, less social contact due to different work nature/environment etc.

“很重要的一点是我们不能随意跟
严重感染病例做等同攀比（即对号入座），
因为我们各自的背景都很不同。
例如： 我们当中许多都履行卫生习惯守则、
有幸吃到健康的食物、由于工作性质和环境的不同而或许少接触人群等。。。

To-do check list to overcome an infectious disease 克服感染性疾病必做清单:

1. Stay home more, to reduce exposure frequency 多点留在家，减少感染频率

2. Keep social distancing , to dilute infectious dosage 保持社交距离，减少感染剂量

3. Wear mask, to reduce infectious dosage 戴口罩，减少感染剂量

4. Wash hands before eating, to reduce infectious dosage 吃饭前洗手，减少感染剂量

5. Have daily bowel movement, as clean bowel is critical for strong immunity 每天大解，因为肠道干净是免疫力的基础

6. Consume pesticide free herbals or food therapeutics regularly to fortify respiratory health, eg. Ginger mint tea, white radish soup, barley drink, bitter gourd juice etc 服用无农药的药草和食疗，例如： 薄荷姜茶、白萝卜汤、薏米水、苦瓜汁等

-- By reducing exposure frequency and dosage of infection, 
then the severity of infection will naturally reduce.

-- 只要减轻感染频率和感染剂量，
那么感染后的症状就自然变得轻微。


It's totally ok to be infected by any Infectious Diseases, 
so that we get immunized naturally. 

感染上了感染性疾病，是非常正常的事，
这样我们才会得到天然的免疫力。


But the mechanism of infection must be of 
LOW dose, LOW frequency, 
so that our immunity can have enough time to tackle.

不过感染的过程中，
必须是低剂量、低频率的。
这样我们的免疫系统才有充足的时间招架。


A sudden high dose infection 
will render our immunity lack of response time 
towards a new infecting agent. 
Hence the higher chance of severity upon infection. 
And vice versa.

如果高剂量感染突如其来，
那么就会导致我们的免疫系统缺乏充裕的时间
来抵抗新的病原。
这样就会导致感染后的严重症状。
低剂量感染就不会。


So, the proper concept of infectious disease 
is not to avoid being infected. 
But to be infected at a gentle, low dose, gradual way.

所以，感染性疾病的正解
不是在于避免、逃避感染；
而是以轻微、低剂量、缓缓的方式感染。

Being infected is good, 
because it prepares us to face another infectious agent in the future. 
Skipping the infection (a kind of immunity training) 
through artificial intervention 
will only pile up the training at a big step up intensity in future 
(meaning more dreadful infected symptoms upon exposure to new mutants)"

感染了疾病本来就是好事，
因为那能为我们将来新疾病的感染作出预先筹备。
如果我们用非自然手法
避开了一场的感染（既是免疫训练），
就好像把免疫训练推迟了，
堆积到下一次面对更严峻的训练
（也就是说，将来遇上变种病原，症状会更严重）”


Many good will to all
from a former biomedical researcher with career background on cancer immunology, immunotherapy.

Immunity Boosting Is Easy! (2)

2021-01-08T13:18:00.002+08:00

Basic hygiene is crucial
to beat viral spread.

Everyday, many of us are watching out

for the hiking number of Covid19 cases.

But few of us really interpret the statistics

in impartial view

-- at least we should not be pre-opined

that rising number is a bad thing

Looking at this graph below,

we see that the fatality

as a consequence of contraction of Covid19

is less than 2.2% world wide.

[click to enlarge]

(source: https://www.statista.com/statistics/1087466/covid19-cases-recoveries-deaths-worldwide/ )

Looking closer to the most recent 50years (in the chart below),

humanity has been invaded by these major viral outbreaks,

which are way more serious than Covid19

but we all survived very well without panic or en masse vaccination.

[click to enlarge]

(https://www.statista.com/statistics/1095129/worldwide-fatality-rate-of-major-virus-outbreaks-in-the-last-50-years/ )

Further, we see, in the following chart,

the fatality+contagiousness of Covid19,

compared to many other major diseases.

Covid19 is not even on par of

HIV, dengue, malaria, HFMD, bird flu which we are all already too familiar with.

[click to enlarge]

(source:https://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/the-microbescope-infectious-diseases-in-context/ )

Fighting Covid19 is easier than we all thought!

Because we know by solid data,

its virulence and spreading capacity are

similar to many other common viruses.

Treating Covid19 should be

how we usually treat other viral infections:

. Boost immunity via sensible diet and detoxing herbals

. Rest more to recharge our energy

. Drink lots of water

. Patience to go through self healing process

Seeing the strong statistic,

we should release ourselves from undue panic and fear.

Hope more people now understand that

Covid19 isn't a monster that we are initially mistaken to believe

by under-informed policy makers.

Many blessings,

Kee Yew

Remarks: Despite that we have proven Covid19 is behaving just like many other common virus, we should still obey rules and regulations in our countries. Social distancing, frequent hand washing and mask-wearing practices are still very crucial to provide other people the sense of security, love and respect.

Immunity boosting is easy! (1)

2021-01-07T16:54:00.012+08:00

Green chiretta is a
possible Covid19 antidote

Immunity boosting is not as difficult as most people think.

At least it is a lot more easier than racing for vaccination.

Thailand just recently approved

Green Chiretta (Andrographis Paniculata, 穿心莲/蛇草)

as possible Covid19 antidote.

(https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/consumer/thailand-clears-use-of-herbal-medicine-for-covid-19-treatment )

Earlier, in China, a concoction of detox herbs was officially announced to be

more than 99% effective in fighting Covid19.

(https://www.medsci.cn/article/show_article.do?id=be05192515b7)

We must first understand that:

1. Covid19 virus is here to stay, just like all viruses that existed throughout history of Earth. We can choose to face it with fear or with equanimity (with sensible immune-boosting measures)

2. Vaccination is a relatively new technique, in human history, to artificially boost immunity and it has works only for a small handful few viruses. Many viruses have been proven not effectively vaccine-able so far, and those include bird flu, HIV.

3. Under-informed policy makers put themselves in the illusion that all virus could be tackled by vaccination techniques (and hence, may be offering potentially false hope).

4. During the pursuance of non-warranted vaccines, out of unnecessary fear due to under-education, policy makers may also twists the justification to approve vaccines which are not clinically tested and studied enough to prove safety and long term efficacy. (compared to E.bola vaccine which took over 5years to be developed, HIV vaccines R&D took close to 40years, but to no avail)

5. Already reports are showing vaccines of Covid19 are causing side effects and death, on top of some serious side effects: (search: covid19 vaccine death)

It's much more straight forward to boost immunity via our day-to-day food and herbal remedies.

Here are some recommendations:

1. Take either of:

.ginger mint tea

.ginger lemongrass tea

.barley water

.roselle tea

daily, to help cleansing of bowel fully.

A clean bowel will spare energy to boost immune system, especially for the respiratory system.

2. Do intermittent fasting. Suggest taking breakfast at 9am, dinner before 5pm.

If 5pm dinner is not possible, skip dinner or have only vegetables (no staple) for any dinner after 5pm.

Do this two days weekly, eg on a weekend.

3. For the next 30days, go fully vegan, plant based diet, without meat, egg, milk, seafood.

This will remove impurities from our blood, in turn boosting our immunity.

4. Follow G.R.O.W. diet principles daily:

.Grains, pre-soaked overnight eg brown rice, millet, buckwheat, quinoa, barley

.Roots vegetables eg carrot, sweet potato, huai-shan, white radish, beetroot

. Organic, for higher life force

. Wholesome food (avoid refined, polished foods), for better nourishment and life force

5. Do Yoga QiGong, Breathing Exercise or Hand-swinging Exercise, 20min daily to activate the lympathic system.

Skepticism may be there about how effectively the above natural remedies may work, but at least they link to no side effects and death.

If one does insist to ignore herbal medicine

that helped mankind to weave through zillions of pandemics

prior to vaccination era,

then,

how much premium would one bet

on a half-baked vaccine for Covid19?

Next we will discuss how dangerous Covid19 truly is,

by analysing its contagiousness and fatality,

compared to others viral diseases.

All by good will,

Kee Yew

Disclaimer: this article is meant for mere critical and impartial analysis of our current situation to stimulate thoughts. It is not meant for invalidating current practices mandated by policy makers to fight for Covid19. We should be obedient civilians but also be informed civilians, so that we know how to cushion ourselves from side effects of such practices, lawfully.

Conscious Farming in Practice

2020-07-20T23:20:00.001+08:00

Last weekend was a memorable one

Proud gardeners
with their compost pile

for it was the first time

I put my Biodynamic Farming knowledge into practice.

I was lucky to be guided by

another amazing Holistic Living leader

Mdm Betty Khoo

to kick start my very first compost making

at my farm at Tampin, Melaka

Betty who has been immersing in

conscious farming and eating for about two decades

invigorated me by helping to gather a few green-living friends

to help me do a medium scale composting.

To me, this is very significant milestone in my life,

because Betty brought into my farm,

unconditional love and good wills!

On a cooling and cloudy morning, last Sunday.

Betty, her friends and mine too, totaling 6 of us,

spent about 1.5hours to gather from all corners of the farm,

the followings:

. branches

. dried leaves and hays (from cut grass last week)

. fresh greens weedy leaves and overgrown banana trees

After that we took a long lunch break,

Vegan Potluck
with new friends from Aenon

having pot luck gathering at my residence,

with some new friends and conscious souls,

from Aenon Healthcare Centre.

I see their good will

rejoicing in my green-living path...

it's really touching!

After lunch, we continue our work at the farm,

making "compost sandwich"

by making multiple layers of the following materials

in sequence of bottom to top :

At the bottom most layer,

we laid out branches spanning an are of

5ft x 4ft

On top of these branches, we repetitively

pile up, from bottom to top :

1. dried leaves

2, fresh green leaves

3. aged cow dung (Cow Pit Pat)

4. kitchen garbage

5. water

6. ashes from Agnihotra

7. thin layer of soil

We tried our very best

to follow Biodynamic composting protocol,

but due to some extent of resource limitation,

we missed out a few "ingredients"

（e.g. fresh cow dung, stone powder, chalk powder etc）

to make this a genuine Biodynamic compost.

Having said so,

this is still a good baby step to begin with!

We did the compost piling just under a sick mango tree.

If the composting is successful,

it will help remediate the soil

and "medicate" the mango tree ^^

So, in months to come,

we shall know if the semi-Biodynamic compost is successful

by checking on the vibrancy of the mango tree and

hopefully we will reap a few big fat mangoes

when the tree heals :D

According to my Biodynamic teacher, Mr Teoh,

human beings have been asking for so much from mother Earth.

Making compost is merely a basic gesture of gratitude,

contributing back and nourishing our mother Earth.

Making compost is labour intensive

and requires a lot of patience.

Bearing the thought of thanking mother Earth

for giving us good foods,

humbles us down

to happily engage in the hard work of composting :)

May all Earthlings be blessed,

Kee Yew

On the Path of Biodynamic Transformation

2020-07-05T22:50:00.002+08:00

The Covid-19 saga

Prepping Biodynamic Fertiliser

has ploughed the whole world into chaos,

creating a lot misfortunes

as well as new opportunities.

Like many others,

I too have experienced significant impact

in my career and life path.

One of the remarkable opportunities

this pandemic has brought about,

is something I receive with open arm.

Looking under the positive lights,

I have actually been guided by the universe

to take on a new lifepath

which I have been deferring for along time

-- Biodynamic Farming

About 2 weeks after Malaysia has restored domestic traveling

I got a WhatsApp message advertising for

Biodynamic Farming workshop

organised by Malaysia Demeter Association

Without any hesitation,

I enrolled.

From then on,

a lot of amazing arrangement by the universe happened:

*I first met some 20 enlightened souls at the workshop

who aspires to plough up good crops

for themselves, family and the community.

*Then, I got to know two biodynamic farming class mates,

Oon Han and Sin Choy

who are converting their 5-12 acres lands

into environmental farmlands at/nearby Tampin.

*When I finished the workshop at Kulai, Johor,

I went pick up a highly-respected holistic living author, Betty Khoo

at JB and escort her back to Kuala Lumpur.

*On the way back, we dropped by at my Tampin farmland

and she introduced to me

another young permaculture farmer, Thomas Lim at Tampin.

*One week later which is just yesterday,

I participated another Biodynamic Farming event,

to make large scale Biodynamic fertilisers (named CPP)

at two organic farms @ Durian Tunggal, Melaka

just 25-35min away from my Tampin farmland.

Suddenly, in just 10 days,

my life is exploded with intensive amount of

biodynamic farming opportunities and resources!!

What's even more fortunate is that

I hosted my Biodynamic Farming teacher, Mr Teoh

to stay overnight at my residence at Tampin

and he gave me whole lot of precious advices

in managing my farmland.

What's more more exciting,

according to my teacher,

he will soon be based in Durian Tunggal (25min fr my farm)

to set up a Biodynamic Farming Vocational School

just 23km from my house!!!

The message from the universe

simply can't be clearer：

Biodynamic Farming will be the new path I am baptizing myself into.

In near future,

there will be a Biodynamic School,

and a bunch of like-minded farmers around my area in Tampin 😀

--I nearly forgot to mention,

there is also this environmental-minded holistic wellness establishment,

Aenon Health Care, within 6km reach.

They do small scale pesticide free farming too!

The sphere of environmental farming in Tampin

is seriously nurturing, very dynamically!!

May all these blessings be aligned to higher level of humanity,

Kee Yew

Now, Vegan Education is in the Air 空中学习素食

2019-11-08T21:58:00.001+08:00

The Veg School has always intended

AiFM being the catalyst
of The Veg School's
free public education platform

to do broad base public education on veganism. In earlier days, suggestion was that The Veg School may deploy YouTube, WeChat platforms to perform easy-to-access education online.
素食学校一直以来都很想做大规模的素食教育。早年有很多人建议透过YouTube和微信等网媒，做大众化的线上教育。

But for some reasons, be it technical or practical, those proposals never realised along my 14years of teachings.
但是，基于技术和实践上的问题，于是这14年从事素食教育以来，都不了了之。。。

Very grateful now, that this dream to do free and broad base education slowly precipitate, from 2017 onwards. That was when Malaysian AiFM DJ Min-Ming, started to invite myself intermittently, for sharing sessions on air.
很感恩现在这个免费公众素食教育的梦想逐渐实现，承蒙马来西亚AiFM DJ 敏明自2017年以来多次邀请到电台分享素食健康与营养。

As of Nov 2019, there are altogether 12 episodes of vegan education (Mandarin) on AiFM, and the collection is expected to expand in 2020.
截至2019年11月，素食学校在AiFM的空中教育存档已经有12集。估计2020年还会继续增加。

These Mandarin sharing sessions are archived in this link now, and will be updated intermittently too:
这些分享记录已经储存在以下链接，未来会不断更新：

https://tinyurl.com/TVSonAiFM

May this good will be spreaded and bless more people, helping them to adopt vegan lifestyle more confidently 🙏🏼
盼望这一份祝福能惠及更多人，帮助更多人，更有信心地素食🙏🏼

Well regards ,
Kee Yew

祝福慧增长

Fermenting Goodness of Tempeh

2019-07-19T18:23:00.001+08:00

Mdm Chan and Sensei Kurina
with home-made Organic Tempeh

This July, my Macrobiotic culinary teacher,

Mdm Kurina Yonezawa
is on a teaching visit to Kuala Lumpur.

She has come to teach a series of interesting veganic cooking workshops, including a Fermentation Workshop

One of the most impressive episode during Sensei Kurina's visit
is that, she wanted the students
to seek out for traditional cultured foods in the region we live in.

My homework was to study
how tempeh is made and where to get reliable quality tempeh *.*

I had a tempeh addicted friend, Mr Koo Wee Leng
who highly recommended me to visit
February 18 Cafe at Taman Gembira Kuala Lumpur,
where they sell really delicious home-made tempeh.
These tempeh as I tasted later, are totally different from
those sold in supermarket.
Their tempeh is chunky, firm and
fragrant without any ammonia smell, even eaten raw!

There, Mdm Kurina and I , interviewed the lady boss, Mdm Chan on
how they make the tempeh, with much passion and care.

After the interview,
I verified my notes with Mdm Chan to confirm
that I recorded the right procedure.

This tempeh making SOP which is now successfully developed,
after 6 years of dedicated trial-and-error efforts, is really precious.

Therefore with permission from Mdm Chan,
I feel I should perpetuate her effort, having the SOP recorded in text
and to educate a broader public on how to make good real nourishment :)

Thanks again to Mdm Chan of February 18 Cafe for this!.

Select only good condition organic soy bean
Dehull and split the selected soy beans (with machine) or skip this step.
Select good soy beans again or skip this step if machine is not available.
Boil soy beans in water for 30min, scoop away the scum
Soak soy beans in fresh filtered water for 24hours
Dehull and split the beans into halves and remove the "bud" (germ structure), if Step 2 is not achievable.
Boil in fresh filtered water again for 15min
Drain and drip dry and let cool down completely
Add in "Ragi Tempe" (inoculant) 3g (sieved) for every 1kg soy beans and mix evenly
Wrap 100g beans in prewashed and air-dried banana leaf (20cmx20cm, with 1cm slits every 2cm spacing), exerting moderate strength to firm up the wrapping
Attach another 10cm X 8cm banana leaves (with slits) to the single layer side and wrap in paper
Let ferment in room temperature in airy space (best stood up) for 36hours
At the 36th hour: eat fresh/cooked or keep in fridge for 1-2 weeks or freeze up for multiple months of storage.
