			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A <strong>carcinogen</strong> is something that can cause cancer with high chances. Scientists have discover many carcinogens since then. But the most popular carcinogen is known as <strong>aflatoxin (AF)</strong> which is often found in peanut butter (yummy!). When you feed rats with AF, they will develop liver cancer very fast (and effective).</p>
<p>Before I begin, please be <a href="ability-to-investigate.php">open minded and ready to investigate</a>. This is very important while reading all my writings because everything I write will be controversial and unconventional. People familiar with my blog know this (and thanks for coming back for more!). But new visitors are usually too influenced by standard academics. Their “contaminated” brain will reject anything that doesn’t match what they already known. This is a pity because the one who loses is you, not me.</p>
<p>In my <a href="cancer.php">cancer is not a disease</a> post, I mention that we should use statistics to serve us, not to screw us. Where if 1 out of 10 people is healed from cancer, we should learn what that 1 people is doing and learn from him. </p>
<p>And in the post <a href="modernmedicine.php">don’t let modern medicine screw you</a>, I challenge a lot about why “scietific approach” can lead to many wrong assumptions, observations and theories. I even say that in the end, all theories all meant to be wrong! In this post, we can demonstrate just that, how “scientific approach” will always prove themselves to be wrong again and again. </p>
<p>Let’s get back to our story today.</p>
<p>While the worst peanut butter might contains over 300 times the acceptable level of aflatoxin (AF), this post is not asking you not to eat peanut butter. This post will develop a very long story from AF to peanut butter, to protein, to soy beans, to North Antartica… It will be like a movie, getting you deeper and deeper. I hope it will be an eye opening one.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>We live in a complicated world and it is when we try to simplify things that we make a lot of mistakes.</strong></p>
</blockquote>
<p>AF is a “proven” carcinogen because when scientist feed the rats (poor rats) with it, almost all of them get liver cancer. There is really no dispute on it because no matter if it is a Chinese rat, a Malay rate or an Indian rat, you feed it with carcinogen, it will get liver cancer. It comes with a very high probability in statistical terms.</p>
<p>Colin Campbell is an expert in protein (a “PHD”). He wrote a controversial book known as “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1932100660?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=alwiz&amp;link_code=as3&amp;camp=211189&amp;creative=373489&amp;creativeASIN=1932100660" target="_blank">The China Study</a>” (which has nothing to do with my <a href="chinese.php">Chinese</a> post by the way). It is a book of discovery from his research for a few decades. And most of the story today, are from that book. </p>
<p>Dr Campbell was sent to Philippines to help solve a problem many years ago. Many Philippines kids died before the age of 5 from liver cancer. At that time, the <strong>statistics</strong> shows that the countries with the less protein intake have the highest occurrences of liver cancer. So they believe Phillipines kids were poor and thus lack of nutrition (protein in this case). So they sent Dr Campbell (the protein expert) to solve the problem.</p>
<p>But funny things happened. After increasing the protein intake (mostly <a href="milk.php">milk</a>) which was thought to be the solution, instead of seeing a reduction of liver cancer, more kids were getting it! (wtf!!!) This is of course very shocking and disappointing. Isn’t that science and statistic were saying “protein is the solution”? </p>
<p>And later, a doctor who worked there before Dr Campbell came told him that, he noticed most of the kids who got liver cancer are not the “poor” kids but the “rich” kids! The kids from rich families who can afford to eat better than the poor (got money to eat more “nutrients”, i.e. meat, milk and proteins).</p>
<p>Dr Campbell is those researcher who can get a lot of money to do research. His “China Study” is named so because he has the power and money to run his research on hundreds of thousands of the Chinese in China, tracking all sort of patterns and statistics.</p>
<p>At that time, a research report came from India and caught Dr Campbell’s attention. A research that people like <a href="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/modernmedicine.php#comment-12760" target="_blank">Rak999</a> (an unfriendly commenter in my blog) will definitely say is “statistically impossible” and “I know for an undisputed fact that you’re wrong”. Unfortunately, there are just too many Rak999 in this world.</p>
<p>The research said something like <strong>the more protein you eat, the higher chance you will develop cancer. </strong>With their own supporting research and experiment of course. This type of announcement will probably be laughed by anyone because protein are highly worshiped at that time (almost the same today).&#160; </p>
<p>But Dr Campbell didn’t want to merely ignore it. He is <a href="ability-to-investigate.php">open minded and ready to investigate</a>. As I said, he always got a lot of money to do a lot of research in a very large scale.</p>
<p>He tried to duplicate what the Indians did and see if he could get the same results. He divided rats into 2 groups. He fed both group lots of AF (aflatoxin, the carcinogen) which based on all previous experiments will guarantee the rat to get liver cancer. The only difference to both group is the protein consumption. The first group took the <strong>“normal” consumption of 20% protein</strong>, while the second group took just 5% protein. (There will always be control groups in these experiments that I will not write about for simplicity sake, test groups are rats that are not fed with AF but just proteins to make sure the experiment results are “more reliable”)</p>
<p>[I highlighted the text “normal” because as in my blog, I have repeated again and again that a lot of things that we think are normal are far from normal! BTW, a “normal” 20% consumption of protein a day for human is around <strong>7 pieces of nuggets</strong>, just for you to benchmark]</p>
<p>The results? The rats that took 20% protein, like expected, <strong>100%</strong> (repeat 100%) developed liver cancer. The other group? <strong>100%</strong> (repeat 100%) <strong>DIDN’T</strong> develop any cancer! Read this paragraph again. Something that is “statistically impossible” and “I know for an undisputed fact that you’re wrong”. To prove AF does not cause cancer is “statistically impossible” before this and it is an “undisputed fact that you are wrong” if you say protein cause cancer!</p>
<p>So, can we conclude that protein causes cancer and by reducing it, we can avoid cancer? Scientists love breakthrough discoveries. But most of the time their breakthrough discoveries is another breakthrough mistake. <strong>We live in a complicated world and it is when we try to simplify things that we make a lot of mistakes.</strong></p>
<p>At first AF was blamed to be the cause of cancer. But later they find out even rats that took a lot of AF can avoid cancer by reducing protein consumption to 5%. And please remember the statistical probability is 100% which is very significant.</p>
<p>Luckily, unlike other researcher, Dr Campbell didn’t stop there, claim victory, announce his breakthrough discovery and take all the fame (or maybe Nobel prize). He did a lot more experiments to dig deeper.</p>
<p>Instead of giving the rats either a 20% or 5% protein, he adjusted them time to time. That means group A will start with 20% of protein for 3 weeks, 5% for 3 weeks and repeat. Group B will start with 5% of protein for 3 weeks, 20% for 3 weeks and repeat.</p>
<p>Wuhahahaha. Know what happened? It <strong>turns out</strong> that we found a way to <strong>TURN ON</strong> and <strong>TURN OFF</strong> the cancer tumor growth at will! They discover that when the rats were taking 20% protein, the cancer tumor grew very fast and when the rats were taking 5% protein, the tumor actually stop growing!</p>
<p>It is like a “magic” button. You press it, the cancer grow. Press it again, the cancer stop growing!</p>
<p>Now we can make a further conclusion that while AF is proven to cause cancer, protein will affect it’s growth rate. <strong>AF is like the seed of cancer, and protein is like the fertilizer/water.</strong> We can eat a lot of AF (the cancer seed) but still won’t get cancer if we didn’t provide it with enough fertilizer (protein). </p>
<p>Getting something? Can we conclude now? Nope, far from that.</p>
<p>The question comes to, is protein to be blamed? Are all proteins equal? What protein was they using in these experiments? <strong><font color="#ff0000">They are using MILK protein!</font></strong> A protein known as <strong>casein</strong> extracted from cow’s milk! Hmmm, tasty milk, tasty yogurt, tasty cheese, provide you with “good” proteins to make you “strong” and “healthy”. </p>
<p>More experiments was done to see if all protein are equal. They fed the rats plant based proteins (such as soy proteins) and the result?</p>
<p><strong>Plant based proteins have no effect whatever towards cancer, no matter how much you take it!</strong></p>
<p>So we now know that it is animal protein (meat and milk) that is the problem! That means protein is not that evil. It is still very important to our dietary but the <strong>source of protein (animal or plant)</strong>&#160; is the key!</p>
<p>We are taught in school that we should eat animal proteins because they contain all the essential amino acids. We are told that plant based proteins are “not good” because they don’t contain all the essential amino acids. </p>
<p><strong>Amino acids</strong> are the simplest form of protein (after being broken down) and <strong>essential</strong> means our body can’t make it on our own and has to rely on our diet (food) to get them. </p>
<p>Correct observation, but wrong conclusion and solution. While it is true that meats and milks contain all the essential amino acids while plants do not, that doesn’t mean plants protein are not good and we should eat more meat. </p>
<p><strong>While plant A, B and C might contain only 50% of the essential acids EACH, eating ALL A, B and C will give you ALL the essential amino acids your body needs! </strong>And hey, there are significant more type of plants in this world than meats!!! Meats that we eat most of the time are either chicken, pork, beef and fish. There are plenty of vegetables and fruits that you don’t even know their names.</p>
<p>That means for someone who didn’t eat chicken and drink milk (and other animal proteins), he can get all the proteins he need by eating, say, just soy bean + brown rice + carrot (example only). While each of them lack certain essential amino acids, overall they cover each other and provide all the essential amino acids that you need.</p>
<p>Dr Campbell goes on his research. The whole book will link animal proteins towards many other “modern” diseases including high blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, etc. I am not going there now, I will continue with another part of the story I want to tell.</p>
<p>Michael Pollan (not a health expert but a journalist!) wrote a book called “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0143114964?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=alwiz&amp;link_code=as3&amp;camp=211189&amp;creative=373489&amp;creativeASIN=0143114964" target="_blank">In Defense of Food</a>”. This is a great book that gives us a lot of new perspectives on looking at our “food” problem that we think are “normal”. </p>
<p>[This is the first time I have to put book names here for references because many people thought that I made things up myself. I do read a lot dude, more than 10 books on health topic alone from food to running to <em>chi-gong</em> and 300+ others since last 7 years. The figure is not for showing off. It is to give you some confidence that I am not really just talking cock! There is really something for you!]</p>
<p>The more perspectives your have, the more ways you can look at the same thing. While Mr Campbell is ingenious, still he can miss a lot of things. For the third time, I want to say, “<strong>We live in a complicated world and it is when we try to simplify things that we make a lot of mistakes.</strong>” </p>
<p><em>Repetition is the mother of skill dude. </em>This blog is about repeating all the unconventional stuff to you again and again so it becomes conventional to you.</p>
<p>Is the answer and solution so simple as “animal protein”? While it is true that it is a <strong>BIG advantage to stay away from animal protein</strong> (which I do strongly encourage myself), what if there are more that we don’t know yet? What if there are some “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1400063515?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=alwiz&amp;link_code=as3&amp;camp=211189&amp;creative=373489&amp;creativeASIN=1400063515" target="_blank">black swans</a>”? </p>
<p>[Black swan means if you have seen 1,000 <strong>white</strong> swans doesn’t mean you can conclude that all swans are white. All it takes is just a <strong>black</strong> swan and your theory/conclusion will be wrong]</p>
<p>There are just too many “black swans” as we will see. And this might be a good news for those who want to eat MEAT! <img src='http://www.ahyap.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If animal proteins are evil, why cancer only become so common in the last 30 years? People 100 years ago might not even heard of cancer. [clue: modernization]</p>
<p>And how come the Eskimos, who eat almost 100% animals meat from sea (you can’t plant vegetables on ice dude!) have very low rate of cancer?</p>
<p>Or looking at it from the other way, why do so many vegetarians got cancer?! Why housewives who never smoke, never drink, eat nutrition supplements and even eat only vegetables can have lung cancer and breast cancer?</p>
<p>Because for the forth time-</p>
<p><strong>We live in a complicated world and it is when we try to simplify things that we make a lot of mistakes.</strong></p>
<p>Nothing is a mere simple cause and effect. Everything involve thousands of causes and thousands of effects cross linking with each other. We have 100 trillion cells in our body, we have multiple organs working together with millions of chemical reaction happening in our body each second… and we are trying to figure all this out with our overrated mind… </p>
<p>While we are far from knowing the real truth, we will look more about the black swans that I have just mentioned. We will see why this Eskimos are not cursed by animal proteins, why the housewives who live a “healthy” lifestyle could get cancer, how you can eat meat but not getting cancer (or how you can eat vegetables and die of cancer!).</p>
<p>We will bring more causes and effects to the surface (although is still be scratching the surface) but I believe it is sufficient for us to become lowest 10% of people who will get cancer in the future. Stay <em>tuned</em> as I will give you the knowledge that I have summarized from my own “study” (stolen and concluded from many books actually).</p>
<p><em>Akan Datang!</em> Before 2012!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Weird enough, our brain really knows nothing other than <strong>comparing</strong>. Or should we say everything has a “meaning” only if we are able to compare it with something else. </p>
<p><strong>East</strong> means nothing if there is no <strong>West</strong>. <strong>Woman</strong> means nothing if there is no <strong>man</strong>. <strong>Tall</strong> means nothing when there is no <strong>short</strong>. </p>
<p>When you say something is cold, it is because you <strong>compare</strong> it with something that is hotter.</p>
<p>[If you hold a snake or lizard, yucks, it is cold to you but it is hot to them!]</p>
<p>When you say it is on the east, it is because you are standing on the west. You are <strong>comparing</strong> it to where you are standing.</p>
<p>[If you ride a rocket up to the space where you can’t see the earth anymore, where is EAST? Where is WEST? Where is UP and where is DOWN?]</p>
<p>You say “this is woman” and “that is man” because we <strong>compare</strong> their … … type of fruits?</p>
<p>&#8212; &#8212;</p>
<p>Since now we know everything is about <strong>comparing</strong> (the old Chinese masters caledl it<strong> yin yang</strong>) we can now use it to derive our rule of happiness and hope that we can be “happily ever after”. First we start with 2 observations.</p>
<h2>Observation #1</h2>
<p><strong>If we compare ourselves to someone richer, we feel poorer and thus unhappy. On the other hand if we compare ourselves to someone poorer, we feel richer and thus more happy!</strong></p>
<p>De deeeeeeeeennnnnnggggggggggggg!</p>
<p>And then,</p>
<h2>Observation #2</h2>
<p><strong>If “what we want” is more than “what we have”, we feel unfulfilled and unhappy. On the other hand if “what we have” is more than “what we want”, we feel very fulfilled and happy!</strong></p>
<p>De de de deeeeeeeeennnnnnggggggggggggg!</p>
<p>So using this 2 basic observations, we can derive the formula/rule of happiness.</p>
<h2>Rule #1</h2>
<p><strong>To feel rich and happy, always compare yourself with someone poorer than you! (~don’t laugh!~)</strong></p>
<h2>Rule #2</h2>
<p><strong>Always make sure “what you want” is so little that “what you have” <em>looks</em> like a lot!</strong></p>
<p>&#8212; &#8212;</p>
<p>Is this a joke? Isn’t this sounds like cheating yourself? </p>
<p>No it is not a joke. And Yes, it is cheating! It is a mind trick. Since we know how the mind works, we try to trick it. Just like how <a href="choices-trick.php">we trick people do to what we want by offering them choices</a>.</p>
<p>And who cares if it is cheating or a trick? All we need to know is that it works! The ancient Indians and ancient Chinese has been using this philosophy since a few thousand years ago! [Unfortunately, “smart” people today who are supposed to be “smarter” than ancient people seems to forgot about this ancient wisdom]</p>
<p>If you score 99 in you test, you can be unhappy if you compare yourself to those scoring 100. Even if there is no one scoring 100, you can still be unhappy focusing on the 1 mark you didn’t get.</p>
<p>If you are second in the whole school, you can be unhappy if you compare yourself to the first, even if that is Harvard or Oxford.</p>
<p>If you are Warren Buffett (the second richest man on earth), you can still be unhappy because you compare yourself to Bill Gates (the richest man on earth)</p>
<p><strong>On the other hand, you can be happier than Bill Gates if all you want is to watch 8TV and eat strawberry.</strong></p>
<p>You see, <strong>why we are suffering today is because we set different rules based on the same observations.</strong> Thanks to all the bestselling motivation and “You can be rich” type of books. Thanks to the instant idol reality programs. Thanks to the few instant internet millionaire story that we heard from Google, Facebook and now Twitter (which get rich faster and faster)!</p>
<p>Unfortunately, we all (including the “motivators”) set the wrong rules. What rules?</p>
<p>Based on Observation #1, if we compare ourselves to someone richer, we feel poor and unhappy. So they set their Rule #1 (their solution to observation #1) as</p>
<h2>Their Rule #1 (probably yours too)</h2>
<p><strong>To avoid feeling poor and unhappy, make yourself richer and richer so everyone else is poorer than you!</strong></p>
<p>And then to tackle observation #2, they set their Rule #2.</p>
<h2>Their Rule #2 (probably yours too)</h2>
<p><strong>In order to get “what we want”, we must increase “what we have” (double/triple/1 million dollar/4 wives…)!</strong></p>
<p>Yep, it works too. Same observations, same problems but different solutions/rules/mindset. </p>
<p>But the problem?!?</p>
<p>Why so many celebrities who seems to have everything in the world, take drugs or even suicide (or die of drug overdosed)? Remember <em>Ko Ko </em>Alan Cheung? Remember Michael Jackson? Remember the Joker in Batman? Why do people like Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, which is supposed to be our role models, are always linked to drugs? </p>
<p>The problem is that when we set the wrong rules and go the opposite direction, what we get is not <strong>happily-ever-after</strong> but <strong>never-ending-suffering</strong>.</p>
<p>You see, at the moment you thought you need to be richer than somebody, or to have x amount of money before you can be happy, you can’t be happy <strong>right now</strong>. Then you thought you need to change that. Instead of using the “dirty” trick by comparing to someone poorer or reduce the x amount to y so you have more “what you have” than “what you want” <strong>that can happened right now</strong>, you decided to put your happiness <strong>into the future</strong>. </p>
<p>You do what you are “taught” by the books/society/parents/teacher. You try to tackle it with the “normal” ways that other people do. You want to make more money than the person that is richer than you. And you set your financial goal to x amount of money “you want” in the future that you don’t have right now. </p>
<p>Whether you reach your goal or not, you have made a decision. You have made a decision to <strong>put your happiness into the future in exchange with suffering, unfulfillment and unhappiness right now.</strong> You work hard for the “future,” hope that one day you can be happy in the “future”. You suffer now.</p>
<p>But then 2 things can happen. The future never comes and you live your entire live in full regrets. Or the future came and you hit your “ultimate” goal. But what’s next? After 30 years of fighting and struggling, you finally made it. You open up a RM48,888 champagne to celebrate with your wife (or mistress since your wife might be too old for you at that time), buy a big bungalow with 20 rooms and 40 maids and park 20 Porsches in front of your house to show the guy that used-to-be richer than you that have “motivated” you the last 30 years.</p>
<p>Then what? Because of 30 years of hard root <strong>conditioning</strong> to your brain, it is now <strong>WIRED</strong> (or a better word “FUCKED”!)! Your “mind” is “set”! You now have a “mindset” that can be driven only by unhappiness and goal, you won’t be able to stop that! You won’t be able to get happy! </p>
<p>A trained muscle is very hard to be untrained if you do it wrongly! A kid who <strike>is a virgin</strike> has no experience in badminton can easily be trained to be a world champion rather than an OK-OK player who has been practicing and playing with the wrong tactics! The same goes to the conditioning of your brain and all the wiring of your brain neurons (Once it is <em>fucked</em>, DHA and EPA can’t help anymore,they call it “<em>Fucked up brain</em>”)!</p>
<p>After so many years of “practicing”, it becomes a <strong>habit</strong>. You can’t just stop after you reach your goal and be happily-ever-after! You have been living in the “suffering now for the future mode” for so long and when the “future” really comes, you can’t <strong>experience it</strong> because of your poor habit, there is no “now” but only “future”!</p>
<p>So maybe after 2 weeks of fulfillment and satisfaction, your will get uncomfortable and unhappy again (like Robert Kiyosaki having a vacation in Fiji Island after he is “free” but can’t even finish his planned vacation and have to return earlier!). For the last 30 years, you never really learn how to be happy. Your “happy” software is not installed in your “brain”. The software you installed, based on the 2 rules you set earlier, is to always compare with someone better than you!</p>
<p>De deeeeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnggggggggggggg!</p>
<p>So after 2 weeks, you will start back your old routine, your old habit. You simply can’t stop. The momentum is so big, the brain is so fucked up. So now, you find someone even richer and compare yourself to him. You “enjoy” being “unhappy” again. You increase your “what you want” from x to 1,000 times x so you need a higher “what you have” to make yourself happy. You set new goals only to curse yourself more, to a never ending stream of suffering. You live again in the “future”, expecting one day you will be happy. Unfortunately, </p>
<p><strong>To be HAPPY, it is not in the future. It is RIGHT NOW. </strong></p>
<p>&#8212; &#8212;</p>
<p><strong>Homework #1</strong></p>
<p>Find 6 people (friends/relatives/neighbors/enemies…) that are poorer than you and remind yourself everyday that you are richer than them! </p>
<p>[If you end up being 1 of the 6 that is selected by your friends, be proud because you just make someone happy! <img src='http://www.ahyap.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Bill Gates will even envy you because he can’t serve that role, no one can put him in their list!]</p>
<p><strong>Homework #2</strong></p>
<p>Take out your bank account book, divide the balance by 2 and set it as the amount “you need” to be happy. And remind yourself that anytime you have that amount, you are happy. </p>
<p>[If you account balance drop, divide it again by 2 to get a new&#160; “what you need” but on the other hand, don’t increase it when you have more money so your “what you need” is always kept at a low base, making you “richer and richer” in the future]</p>
<p>&#8212; &#8212;</p>
<p>It sounds very “ugly” and “unethical” but it is <strong>definitely a better alternative </strong>than to set up painful goals such as “I want to be richer than you” or “I want to make more money .” </p>
<p>Of course, we do have more “beautiful” spiritual ways to attain even better results, which is the <strong>“no comparing”</strong> method which should be <strong>our ultimate goal</strong> in the future. If you don’t need to compare, how do you know if you are rich or poor?! It is even more powerful and effective because you don’t even need to “think”!</p>
<p>But since our mind still like to think a lot and compare a lot, it is a difficult to stop comparing right now, but it is easier to change the <strong>object of our comparison</strong> right now. So <strong>we try to cheat</strong> by changing the object of our comparison, by selecting something “better” to compare with! And “mind” you, cheating the “mind” works! Even this method is “lower standard” like Proton, it is still a car dude!</p>
<h2>Mummy Dog and her Bibi Doggie</h2>
<p>Bibi doggie keep chasing its own tail but no matter how fast he “spin”, bibi doggie still can’t reach his tail!. The mummy dog tells her bibi, “You don’t need to chase your tail because you will never get it! But it’s already with you RIGHT NOW, no matter where you go, it will follow you”.</p>
<p>Oh, by the way, your last homework -</p>
<p><strong>Homework #3</strong></p>
<p>Leave me a comment if you like, dislike or even ‘no comment’ about this post. <a href="choices-trick.php">Do you really have a choice</a>? <img src='http://www.ahyap.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I need to learn how to write <strong>shorter</strong> posts so I can make more <strong>frequent</strong> posts so you won’t assume that I am dead! </p>
<p>All the coming posts will be about <strong>China, investing and health</strong>. These are the topics I am interested in. Will try my best to write in proper English but can’t promise you anything! <img src='http://www.ahyap.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<h2>My Initial “Biased” View About China</h2>
<p>I always thought China is <em>not-that-good</em>. I believed in all the ‘bad’ things ‘newspaper’ says about China, you know the ‘immoral’ Chinese businessmen that make poisonous toys and foods, the environment ‘unfriendly’ Chinese that cause pollution and global warming, the ‘inhuman’ one-family-one-child policy, the ‘undemocratic’ communist government, the ‘evil’ Mao Zedong, etc.</p>
<p>And because some of my Malay readers can’t wait to kick me back to China because they don’t like my post on <a href="/blog/sohai.php">sohai</a> and <a href="blog/attack-prostitution.php">prostitute</a>, I decided to study more about China and see if going back there is a good choice! </p>
<p>[Actually I am researching China for investing opportunities lar.]</p>
<p>The more I study, the more I find out that we have been brainwashed by the newspaper (especially the Western media) about China. What we read in the paper is not reflecting the real truth behind the scene. The price you need to pay, if you are now aware between the ‘truths’ and the ‘lies’ is like digging a hole in the sand and hiding your head in it while keeping your big fat ass outside. In the short terms, things can look cloudy, in the long term, everything will be clear and you will know who is the biggest liar. </p>
<h2>What’s So Special About The 4 Developed Countries</h2>
<p>After world war 2, economy in the whole world is booming and we have over 100 <strong>emerging economies</strong>. We call them the <strong>developing country</strong>. They are doing very well. These include Malaysia, Vietnam, Brazil, Mexico, Taiwan, Singapore, India and a lot more.</p>
<p>Out of these 100+ developing countries, only 4 rise to become <strong>developed</strong> countries. Which 4? Knowing which are these 4 countries will explain everything about today’s post and serve as a STRONG support and proof or what I am writing. </p>
<p>The 4 countries are:-</p>
<p><strong>1. SINGAPORE      <br />2. TAIWAN       <br />3. HONG KONG       <br />4. SOUTH KOREA.</strong></p>
<p>Many countries didn’t make it. Some even create multiple financial crisis and disaster for themselves. So what makes the above 4 countries rise above the pack and become developed country?</p>
<h2>Answer: They Are Mostly ‘Chinese’</h2>
<p>“Fuck You, Koreans are not Chinese!” I heard you. But their people and country are very “Chinese”. Their tiny country is sticked to Mainland China like your balls are sticked to your body. Before they invented their own characters that look like “boxes”, they write in Chinese characters. Seoul is known as the “Han City” in Chinese before they change it to “Sou Er” 3 years ago. Chinese people are also known as Han people and 90% of the Chinese in China are from the Han ethic. When I went to Korea a few years ago and visit their ancient University, there is a statue of Confucius in the school! They study the teaching of Confucius. And the Koreans even claim that Confucius was a Korean instead a Chinese. At the end, they also like to eat gin seng like the Chinese.</p>
<p>So, Korean are heavily influence by Chinese culture and traditions. They are influenced by the teaching and virtue of the Chinese great old master like Confucius. So while they don’t speak Chinese, they are very similar to one. And I bet a Westerner can’t differentiate between a Chinese and a Korean.</p>
<h2>So what’s so special about Chinese?</h2>
<p>Chinese are simply the greatest capitalist in the world. In plain English, Chinese are the greatest businessmen in the world. It has been demonstrated again and again for the last 5,000 years. While China didn’t look good until recently, just look at how the overseas Chinese are doing, especially the 4 Asian tigers that I mentioned earlier.</p>
<p>China encountered a series of ‘unfortunate’ events before they have the chance to rise up again. They are fallen far behind because of the mismanagement under the late qing dynasty, the opium war by the westerners (and later by selling drugs to the Chinese), the invasion of Japan and later the Civil war between the Republic of China and the Communist Party. There were all sorts of mess in China. Everything is just ugly.</p>
<p>The people are poor. Living is difficult. So it make sense for many Chinese to try to make a living overseas! Exactly like a Bangla coming to Malaysia to work at Kopitiam and serve in Ipoh’s <em>Dim Sum</em> restaurant! Because of this, you can find Chinese in every corner of the world. My mum’s father is one of them. His mum sold the only pig at home, buy him a ship ticket and took 1 week to sail Malaysia through the South China Sea.</p>
<p>While mainland China was doing poorly at <strong>that time</strong> (now is different story), overseas Chinese are doing a better. Look at Taiwan, look at Singapore and look at Hong Kong. Singapore GDP per capita is 6 times bigger than Malaysia. Which means 1 Singaporean produce 6 times more than a Malaysian. Knock! Knock! The hypocrites 47 years ago (1963) voiced that Singapore would not survive for more than 3 years because it is a <strong>just a tiny dot</strong>. 47 years later, the hypocrites say that Singapore is “supposed” to be better off than Malaysia because it can be managed more easily because it is <strong>just a tiny dot</strong>. Fuck!</p>
<p>Dot or not a dot, it has something has to do with the people! In the last 50 years after world war II, we also place very high hopes on economies such as Mexico, Argentina, Vietnam , Thailand and Philippines. But then they are not able to make it! So what is differentiating them with Singapore? (and Hong Kong and Taiwan). </p>
<p><strong>Again, it is about the PEOPLE. This is the key you need to remember, <font color="#ff0000">disregard to whether you are a Chinese or NOT a Chinese!</font> Knowing this fact alone will allow you to make smart investment choices in the future!</strong></p>
<p>If you are non Chinese, especially when you are Malay, you may not like what I just wrote. You may again want to kick me back to China. But if you are the new <a href="/blog/ability-to-investigate.php">open minded</a> Malay that is willing to learn, knowing Chinese are great capitalist and great businessmen allows you to know where to invest your money with! While feeling inferior to another race is not fun, making MORE MONEY for yourself because you know where to put your money with is VERY FUN! While face is important, think about your wallet and your bank account! You will always got your “Face” back when you have thick wallet! Pretending and ignorance will not. </p>
<h2>Remember: Chinese Is Just Too Good About Money</h2>
<p>I am not trying to glorify Chinese, I am trying to bring the truth to the table. Truth is something that doesn’t care whether you believe it or not. If gravity will pull us down, it will pull us down. Not believing on it won’t cause gravity to stop working. That’s call truth. Truth needs no defending! [For those who like to use war to defend their religion, please remember “Truth needs no defending”. Something that needs to be defend is not truth]</p>
<p>Chinese invented their own “calculator” known as abacus. Abacus is so powerful that by training yourself to imagine a virtual abacus in your brain, you can do powerful mathematics with your brain without any electronic devices! Not only you can do it without a device, you can do it FASTER than a device because you don’t need to press the number into your calculator or your computer. You just look or listen to the numbers and you can spit the answer out with your mouth! This is what all the super-genius-math class is about, a virtual abacus in your mind. Send your kid to learn!</p>
<p>While it look like I am saying it is the Chinese “genes” that do all the wonders, it is actually more to their virtues, culture and traditions pass down since 5,000 years ago.</p>
<h3>Virtue #1 &#8211; Hardworking</h3>
<p><strong>The first virtue is Chinese are very very hardworking</strong>, i really mean “HARD” working. They are willing to work very hard, survive in very bad circumstances and still make money out of it!</p>
<p>Many Chinese in Malaysia have to work overseas too in places like Ireland and Japan. My aunt used to work in Japan for almost 10 years. She (and others) didn’t sleep on bed, they sleep in “cages!” A room will contain several “cages” with multiple few levels. While you might have a double deckers bed in your children room, they have <strong>6 deckers</strong> or <strong>7 deckers</strong>. When you go to work, you lock all your belongings in your cage. When you come home, you sleep in the cage. </p>
<p>So maybe your address will look something like “Cage Level 6B …” </p>
<p>My father’s mahjong mate used to work in a ‘black’ zone in US. It’s black because they are mostly black people that don’t follow law, they can come to you and take your money and stuff, or maybe even rape you (your ass) and beat you to death. </p>
<p>But Chinese can still make money in such a world! They adapt by opening stores with thick iron grills and bulletproof windows! They hire security guards armed with real guns! They only let 1 customer in at a time. <strong>And man! These are not banks and jewelries shop! They are only selling Shampoo and Maggi Mee!</strong></p>
<h3>Virtue #2 &#8211; Saving</h3>
<p><strong>The second virtue is that Chinese are very good at saving money. </strong>Unfotunately, the worst habit that Chinese have is exactly the opposite – Gambling! Don’t simple stick with Chinese friends! Stick with the savers and stay away from the gamblers!</p>
<p>The American (the biggest spender in the world) spends $70 for every $40 they made! I still don’t know how to do the math! Where will the $30 come from? They borrow from the <strong>future</strong>. If you are still young like me, you will have a chance to witness how US has to face this problem in the <strong>future</strong>, which will be very very ugly.</p>
<p>Chinese on the other hand save a large portion of their income. While the Americans buy house by borrowing from the banks, many Chinese don’t! Most Chinese (inland and overseas) prefer to use their own savings (and their parents savings) to buy house! Even when they borrow, it is their habit to put bigger down payment and pay off the loan earlier. Chinese don’t like to owe people money. (Disclaimer: Gamblers excluded).</p>
<h3>When 1 + 1 is greater than 2</h3>
<p>If you are hardworking and at the same time a great saver, imagine what is the outcome? These Chinese that can’t make a living in Malaysia and choose to work hard and save a lot in oversea as an illegal foreign worker that get little pay for lots of work can actually come home, buy house and car and live a lot better than their peers! Some are using their savings to start some small businesses and make a better living. </p>
<p>[They always come <strong>home</strong>. They come <strong>home</strong> to Malaysia, not China.]</p>
<h2>Bringing these Virtues to Businesses</h2>
<p>The MOST SHOCKING TRUTH that I ever got is after I reading several annual reports of the Chinese companies listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. I find out that most of these Chinese companies DON’T BORROW to run their business! Not only that they are not borrowing, they are also keeping a lot of CASH in their bank accounts! American business don’t operate this way. Not only the American consumers like to borrow, the American businesses also like to borrow.</p>
<p>Chinese businessmen are more conservative and I prefer to invest my money with them. How about you?</p>
<h2>How China Will Be Affected?</h2>
<p>Now I want to ask you a question that is worth <a href="/blog/hishammuddin.php">1 million dollar</a>, what country has the most Chinese? <img src='http://www.ahyap.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>This is the main difference that separates China with any other emerging countries, including India which most people like to compare China with. And you know it now, it is the people that makes the difference.</p>
<p>The China Miracle, the economy booming that we are witnessing right now, where the westerners like to call it “fake” and “make up” is something that you need to pay special attention to. Now I want to explain to you why China is so special to you and to the world.</p>
<p>As I’ve pointed out, the Chinese people is very good with money. You don’t need to teach them how to make money. You don’t need to send them to business school. It is already in their genes, in their traditions, in their virtues, in their brain or in whichever body parts you like to name. </p>
<p><strong><font color="#ff0000">The KEY so special to China compare to any other country is, once you are able to set the platform and the stage for these Chinese to perform, YOU DON’T NEED TO DO ANYTHING and they will perform themselves.</font></strong> </p>
<p>All that the Chinese government needs to do is to set the stage for their people to perform! There are just too many smart people out waiting to perform! Once you open up and let them do their work, they will perform and deliver, no spoon feeding and Harvard Business School require.</p>
<p>And it is not only the inland Chinese that is performing right now! The overseas Chinese play an even bigger role in the miracle! And it has to go back to Singapore, to Hong Kong, to Taiwan and even to Malaysia!!! (I think Korean will regret renaming “Han City” to “Sou er”)</p>
<p>When the Chinese government open up and says to the Chinese overseas, “We Need You And We Welcome You Back!” The BIG CHUCK of successful Chinese all over the world start to invest money back to their homeland. Because they are already very successful overseas, they have lots of MONEY and lots of EXPERIENCES. Imagine having all the greatest player in a football team! China is having all the greatest players in their “business” game. </p>
<p>Do you know the MOST SUCCESSFUL departmental store in China is known as <strong>PARKSON?!?!?!??!?!?</strong> And the founder and owner of Parkson is Tan Sri Cheng Heng Jem who is an experience businessmen in Malaysia? If there is a Malaysia brand that Malaysian can be proud of in China, that must be Parkson.</p>
<p>The largest electronics and computer components manufacturer in the world is known as Foxconn. They produce your iPod, iPhone, PS3 and many more on a contractual basis. They have 550,000 employees working in their “factory city” [Ipoh has 700,000 people, KL City 1,800,000 for comparison sake!]. Foxconn will provide food and accommodation to their factory workers and I bet they have the biggest hostel and canteen in the world! They also setup the most number of ATMs in their “city”.</p>
<p>Foxconn is founded by Terry Gou, an incredibly successful entrepeuner from Taiwan, who owns Hon Hai Precision Industry. Terry is already very successful in Taiwan, and see how his money and experience can do wonder in China, providing 500,000+ jobs and cheap iPod to you!</p>
<p>There are much much more people like Cheng Heng Jem and Terry Gou who are bringing their money and experience back to China. I am sure you will know who is Li Ka Sing! And even our local Genting’s Lim Kok Thay keep dumping money into Macau.</p>
<p>Many successful businesses in Hong Kong are expanding fast into China. Oversea Chinese investor will always have a head start compare to the westerners because they simply are closer to China in distance, cultures, language, name and skin colour! </p>
<h2>Aiya….</h2>
<p>Diu, I overwrite again! Isn’t that I am suppose to write short?! Let’s continue in Part 2 next time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2009 is a confusing year for me. A lot of weird funny thoughts spark through my brain that might eventually make me crazy because of &#8220;Thinking Too Much&#8221;. Luckily I just notice that the mental hospital is just 4km away from my house.</p>
<h2>The Vegetarian Shop</h2>
<p>You know, Buddhism teach us not to kill any living beings, including the chicken you eat. Last time I thought that vegetarian shops are doing a great deed because they ask us to eat vegetables so we don&#8217;t need to kill animals.At first glance, it looks like a good deed. But when I look deeper, I notice that YES, they don&#8217;t kill animals anymore. BUT, they are now upgrade they &#8220;bad deed&#8221; by killing human beings! The so-called healthy vegetarian food they cooked are mostly junk food/toxins. They are mostly deep fried and oily. I can&#8217;t even see how it can be termed as &#8216;healthy&#8217;. And I think killing human is WORST than killing animals. Making people sicked are a bigger sin than eating meat!</p>
<h2>The Monk and the Butcher</h2>
<p>A monk and a butcher are roommates (haha). They stay together as best friends. Everyday if the monk wake up earlier than the butcher, he will wake up the butcher so he can go to work. If the butcher wake up earlier than the monk, he will wake up the monk instead. So time flies and one day both of them are dead. The monk is sent to HELL while the butcher is sent to HEAVEN. Why?</p>
<p>Because the monk wake up the butcher to go for KILLING everyday (bad deed) while the butcher wake up the monk to PRAY everyday (good deed)</p>
<h2>Emperor Qin Shi Huang</h2>
<p>Almost everyone wants to kill Emperor Qin because he is a brutal leader. They call him the &#8216;bad&#8217; guy. Tony Leung Chiu Wai, who play the top assassin in the movie Hero, break through all the defense barrier of Emperor Qin until the final (like Lee Chong Wei playing badminton entering final with Lin Dan), placing his &#8220;parang knife&#8221; (it is really a parang if you watch the movie) on the neck of Emperor Qin. He can just chop his head down like a coconut but at that moment, he got some realization. He didn&#8217;t kill him and left. He said, &#8220;One shouldn&#8217;t kill Emperor Qin&#8221;. (I hope Lee Chong Wei won&#8217;t say &#8220;One shouldn&#8217;t beat Lin Dan&#8221;)</p>
<p>Why? He might be a &#8220;bad&#8221; guy but he united the whole China under him and ended the war and ends the people suffering of the long war. If Qin is killed, people will need to suffer in war again.</p>
<h2>&#8220;Mongolia&#8221; Najib?</h2>
<p>No one, for sure know if Najib is really the killer of the Mongolia girl (did you see it yourself?) If indeed it is really him, then you need to respect him that he can be so good on &#8216;cleaning his mouth&#8217;  even sharks like Lim Kit Siang and Anwar Ibrahim can&#8217;t do a thing to proof it. I also know how to blind-talk (I always do in my blog), just attacking people with no proof is boring.</p>
<p>Najib is on the right path of liberalizing Malaysia, and if he keeps doing it and at a faster pace, I am sure I have no problem voting him on the next election. I am simply tired of seeing Malaysia monkey show where politicians are crazy for their power. I don&#8217;t want Malaysia to end up like our neighbors &#8211; Thailand, Philliphine and Indonesia.</p>
<h2>Human deserve &#8220;Freedom&#8221; and &#8220;Democrazy&#8221;?</h2>
<p>We all want freedom. But think about it, if everyone has freedom, then we really don&#8217;t have any freedom! If everyone can do what they want to do, how on earth can you feel safe! If you let your kids to decide if they want to go to school, all of them will say NO. And school can close shop without H1N1. If you ask the adult if they want to work, all of them will say NO too. If you ask the people if government should pay every citizen RM5,000 monthly, all of them will say YES. &#8220;Freedom&#8221; on highway with no speed limit? You dare to use the highway anymore?</p>
<p>And you think demo<strong>crazy</strong> is right for everyone, right for every country? Look at Thailand, look at Philippines. Too much freedom and  too democracy are crazy. Something that work in a country might not work well in another.You can&#8217;t give freedom to everyone. No freedom = prison. Too much freedom = crazy. We can only give half freedom.</p>
<h2>No Casino, No Alcohol, No Pork?!</h2>
<p>This is not a sensitive issue, I am just giving examples. You see, I don&#8217;t go to casino, I don&#8217;t go to pubs, to discos.  I don&#8217;t drink alcohol and I seldom eat pork either. I even seldom eat chicken and beef! So I am 5 times more extreme than Muslim! Is it good to shut down casinos, pubs, disco, ban gambling and alcohol and eating of pork? Of course I fully support it 100% because it won&#8217;t affect me at all.</p>
<p>But what is the problem? The problem is that we as human LIKE to put our values onto other people. We like to FORCE our values into other people. Which you might not sense anything &#8220;wrong&#8221; because you think you are doing the &#8220;right&#8221; thing. As I have written in a long post <a href="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/perfect-world.php">why the world can never be perfect</a>, something that is right to you is always wrong to somebody.</p>
<p>If today there is a religion who worship god with alcohol and pork (there are many!) and they are the majority in our country while Muslim is a minority,  think how it feels when they FORCE their values to you, to tell you the correct way to worship god is by using alcohol and pork? To tell you that what you believe in now is &#8220;wrong&#8221;? What if there is a religion who think COW is sacred and cannot be killed (there are many!) and INFORCE rules in the country where we can&#8217;t slaughter cow because it is &#8220;wrong&#8221;? Then what do you do in Hari Korban?</p>
<p>More interesting is what if the religion who thinks killing anything is &#8220;wrong&#8221;, forbid you to kill everything in the country? No more turkey on Christmas?</p>
<h2>Trying to Change People or Not To?</h2>
<p>If we think something is &#8220;right&#8221;, should we convince people on it and make people think the way we think? If we think something is &#8220;wrong&#8221;, should we tell other people? This is an important question for everyone to ask themselves. It is also the the biggest challenge to religions. Should I tell everyone that <a href="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/cancer.php">cancer is not a disease</a>? Should I tell everyone that <a href="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/modernmedicine.php">doctors are liars</a>?</p>
<p>When I blog, I am LOUD and BOLD. But if  I see you in person, I rarely rarely rarely rarely will talk about this. I don&#8217;t even talk much to my parents about this nowadays. Because this thing will just make you an &#8220;unfriendly creature&#8221;.</p>
<p>My point of guidance is simple (that I learn from reading newspaper! ahh, sometimes &#8220;Newspaper is better than AhYap.com&#8221;), you can try to change people, but you need to make sure you don&#8217;t piss people off! If you are sensing anger out of the fella, you better stop (including your mum!). Let them stay the way they wants. Don&#8217;t make people angry and unhappy.</p>
<p>There is also no need to get angry when something you expected happen. &#8220;See, ask you not to drive so fast, now accident already lor&#8221;. &#8220;See, ask you not to eat KFC so much, now got cancer already lor&#8221;&#8230; People, no matter they listen or not, no matter the do the &#8220;right&#8221; or the &#8220;wrong&#8221; thing will suffer all the consequences as a cause and effect. It is their path whether it is their choice or not. A guy who has lung cancer might already been enjoying smoking for 30 plus years and he may thinks the pleasure for so long  is worth it! Maybe for them to live until 100 years old without cigarettes is more suffering.</p>
<h2>The Soldiers and The Villagers</h2>
<p>The soldiers are chasing for the runaways villagers. They have killed almost all of them in the village, the &#8216;lucky&#8217; ones managed to escape and hide in a cave nearby. The soldiers are still searching nearby. One of the baby keeps crying! He is &#8216;innocent&#8217; but his crying will get everyone killed including his mum and dad! What should his mum and dad do? If you are one of the villager, what do you do? If you are one of the villager and your wife and you mum and your dad and your 12 kids and your 108 year-old grandma and your mother-in-law  is with you, WHAT DO YOU DO? To kill the baby, or not to kill the baby? 1 dies or 30 die? Or we have no right to kill no matter what, even we will be killed?</p>
<h2>If You Kill Yourself And You Will Save Another Man&#8217;s Life &#8230;.</h2>
<p>If there is a gun and you point it to your head and pull the trigger and you can save a stranger life, will you do it? What if it is your mum, or your kids? What if it is not 1 stranger but 10 strangers? What if it is 100 strangers? 1,000? 1 million?!</p>
<h2>Will You Eat A Cockroach?</h2>
<p>People in &#8220;fear factor&#8221; eat a lot of cockroaches. But will you do that? Some people eat cockroach without you asking because they say it tastes good! What if I pay you RM10 to eat a cockroach? You might not be interested but the beggar might do it, for him eating cockroach is nothing but RM10 is a big thing. What if it is RM100? RM1,000? RM1 million? I WILL EAT ONE and I don&#8217;t know about you. Every value has a price!</p>
<h2>Gone Baby Gone</h2>
<p>A baby has a fucked up mum who is a drug addict. The baby doesn&#8217;t have a father (I think the mum don&#8217;t even know who is her father). Then someone came to &#8220;steal&#8221; the baby and give the baby a good and happy life like other kids with a &#8220;father&#8221; and a &#8220;mother&#8221; and a &#8220;loving house&#8221;. If you know about this stealing, what do you do? To inform the police so the baby can get back to her mum? Or to pretend that you see nothing? Morally it is &#8220;wrong&#8221; to steal. But is it morally &#8220;right&#8221; to send the baby back to hell?</p>
<h2>To Report Police or Not To?</h2>
<p>If your house is broken in and you lose your laptop, you LCD TV, your Japan AV DVDsand your RM10,000 Poh Kong jeweleries, should you report to the police (assume you don&#8217;t have any insurance and you don&#8217;t need to claim one)?</p>
<p>I did report (Disclaimer: I didn&#8217;t lose any AV DVDs). What happened next was a bunch of policemen came to your house and me your house like a big crime scene. They then tell you that this is very common and it happens <strong>twice </strong>everyday in the neighborhood. Then an &#8220;investigator&#8221; sprayed a lot of black powder onto your cupboard to get finger prints. Then they left, like they are very pro.</p>
<p>Go to police station, take time. Wait for them to come, take time. Wait for them to &#8216;do&#8217; their &#8216;pro&#8217; work, take time. Clear up the mess (and the black powder) after they left, take more time&#8230; After 7 fucking years, nothing recovered.</p>
<p>My notebook got stolen due to my <a href="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/sohai.php">sohainess</a> on leaving my notebook in my car in KL 100m away from the police station. Since the police station is so near, I went to report. First thing, they scolded us and say we were &#8220;bising&#8221; (noisy). Then I have to wait a long time before it is my turn (2 officers working, only 1 person reporting). He took my report like I had nothing better to do but was there to waste his time. The wall at his back was &#8220;MESRA, CEPAT DAN BETUL&#8221;. Puiiii Puii Puiiiii. Mesra my donkey cock.</p>
<p>He then asked me to come back to collect the report next day! Come back? I said I have a seminar tomorrow that I paid thousands for and they say I have to skip the seminar to come back for the report sharply at 9am in the morning. <em>Come back your head lar, come back!</em></p>
<p>Let say you sell gold and your gold shop is robbed. When they recover the jeweleries, they won&#8217;t give it back to you! They will keep it as &#8216;evidence&#8217; until the court case is over (take years). And then how much gold is really recovered and how much is given back to you is another question.</p>
<p>If you shop is being robbed and you have CCTV installed, prepare to buy a new set because they will take your CCTV away and give you back after the court case (but there are no court case because they don&#8217;t  manage to catch the thieves!). So your property become Bukit Aman property.</p>
<p>If you have a car accident and your car is in the police station, haha, you either be <em>smart enough</em> to know how to get your car back quick or you may want to wait for some documentation work that never seems to be able to finish.</p>
<p>Even if they recover my notebook on search, do you think they will try to find me and give it back to me? A lot of pirated DVDs, notebooks, firecrackers and even drugs are items being &#8220;resold&#8221;. And guess where is the source.</p>
<h2>You Don&#8217;t Feel Like Going Out With Someone</h2>
<p>If you don&#8217;t feel like going out with someone, do you say, &#8220;Hey I don&#8217;t like to go out with you&#8221; or do you say, &#8220;I got something to do today&#8221;. But actually you have nothing to do the whole day!</p>
<h2>&#8220;Your Baby Is So Cute!&#8221;</h2>
<p>Do you say &#8220;Your baby is so cute!&#8221; or do you say &#8220;Your baby look like a lizard?&#8221; when indeed it look like a lizard?</p>
<h2>When You Are Claiming Warranty</h2>
<p>&#8220;Was it strike by thunder?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;No ar, I don&#8217;t think so. I always unplug the wire one wor. &#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Did you wet it?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;No ar, this morning trying to turn it on already like this.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Did you drop it on the floor?&#8221;<br />
&#8220;No ar! I open the box it is already like this.&#8221;</p>
<h2>Should We Abolish ISA?</h2>
<p>Hahahahahha. Hahahahahha. Knife can be used to cut apple and knife can be used to kill people. And if a thieve enter your house and want to rape your wife and your daughter, do you still use your knife just to cut apple? Do you think our country is free of troublemakers and our people are mature enough?</p>
<h2>If A Plane Crashed And There Is Only One Survivor&#8230;</h2>
<p>Is that a &#8216;good&#8217; news or a &#8216;bad&#8217; news? It is a &#8216;good&#8217; news if you compare it with &#8220;no survivors&#8221;. It is a &#8216;bad&#8217; news if you compare it with &#8220;no planecrash&#8221;.</p>
<h2>The Death of Michael Jackson</h2>
<p>Is it an &#8220;accident&#8221;? Or is it a &#8220;pattern&#8221;? Should you be surprised or should you not? 8 drugs, multiple operations, extreme life stress &#8230;</p>
<h2>What If You Are Not &#8220;You&#8221;?</h2>
<p>You always think you are you. You think the voice in your head is you thinking. WHAT IF, the voice is not you? The voice that you think is you is actually a disease? Like HIV? That come and attack you and take over you? The voice seems to know nothing, it doesn&#8217;t control our heart beat, it doesn&#8217;t control our digestion, sometimes the voice couldn&#8217;t even ask us to wake up in the morning. Is the voice really the owner of the &#8216;body&#8217;? And where do the voice go when we fall asleep? If the voice is you, why can&#8217;t you make it stop? And if you make it stop, who make it stop? Another &#8220;You&#8221;? And I suppose all human is the same  in the deeper level (we eat food, breath oxygen, have DNAs&#8230;) but why some voices are &#8220;English&#8221;, some voices are &#8220;French&#8221; and some voices are &#8220;Japanese&#8221;?</p>
<h2>The Car Seller and The Coffin Seller</h2>
<p>Is it &#8220;right&#8221; or &#8220;wrong&#8221; for the car seller to hope that people get richer? Is it right or wrong for the coffin seller to hope more people die everyday? Is it right or wrong for the doctor to hope more people get sicked?</p>
<h2>They Ate The Corpses!</h2>
<p>True story 37 years ago. Plane crashed in the moutain full of ice in Andes. Half of them died instantly. No food, no rescuers, and <em>si-beh</em> cold (<em>si-beh</em> = very). The only chances of survival is to eat &#8220;meat&#8221;. What meat? The meat of the guy sitting next to you before the plane crashed! And &#8216;luckily&#8217; the weather is so cold that it becomes a natural fridge to the &#8220;meat&#8221; to keep their &#8220;freshness&#8221;.</p>
<p>If you decide to eat, you will surely start with a stranger. What if there are no more strangers? If you have a dead family member, do you allow others to .. (i can&#8217;t even type the word)&#8230; it? Is it &#8220;right&#8221; or &#8220;wrong&#8221; to eat corpses to survive? If it is wrong then why do we eat chicken corpses, cow corpses and pig corpses? If it is right then why you don&#8217;t you let people e.. your wife? (yucks) You have to <strong>imagine </strong>that you are <em>si-beh</em> cold and <em>si-beh</em> hungry in the middle of the mountain for several days. You may not want to eat, but what if you have kids with you that are <em>si-beh</em> cold and <em>si-beh</em> hungry? How do you decide for them?</p>
<p>They are rescued 72 days later and many live until today. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/books/non_fictionreviews/3652636/What-could-we-eat-but-our-dead-friends.html" target="_blank">Story here</a>.</p>
<h2>Titanic and The Safe Boats</h2>
<p>If a safe boat can only takes 30 people and you already have 50 on it and then there are 1,000 people more in the freezing sea trying to climb up to your boat, what do you do? Whacked everyone who try to climb up the boat? What if the one who try to climb up is your husband? Whacked him too? Or whack the one trying to whack him? What if you are in the water? Are you going to try to climb up the boat too (and being whacked) or will you say, &#8220;Let me die here so I won&#8217;t sink their boat. It is not &#8216;that&#8217; cold anywhere.&#8221;  When you are in deep pain, when you are struggling deeply, can you still think? Or maybe you will try to bribe the boat to let you in?</p>
<h2>Sent Him To The Police Station?</h2>
<p>If you catch a thieve, will you send him to the police or let him go? The theive recognize your face (and your wife, your daughter and your baby). He knows where you live and tell you that, one day he is going to come back to you. If you are heroism where everything must be &#8216;white white white&#8217; type of guy, you will send him to the police. But what after that? Will you be wondering is you house still safe? Is he coming back? Why your wife haven&#8217;t come back yet &#8230;</p>
<h2>If You Eat The Pig&#8230; If You Slaugther a Cow&#8230;</h2>
<p>If you are a muslim and there is no food for days but only pork, and you have wife and kids with you, do you eat? Do you let your kids eat? If you are a Hinduism and a cow is the only food you have for the entire village, do you slaughter it? If you are a Buddishm who can&#8217;t kill and there is a lion chasing after a group of shool kids, can you kill the lion?</p>
<h2>What Happens At The End?</h2>
<p>At the end, life is so fucking challenging. We all seems to be so confuse in this world and we have to make all sort of decisions everyday that we don&#8217;t know if it is right or wrong.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am trying to write a &#8220;free-flow&#8221; speech-liked post and will edit it later. That means I am writing what comes up in my mind the moment I am writing (or more correctly, speaking).</p>
<p>There will be a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. Please bear with me. In communication, it is not the correct spelling and grammar that matter, it is how well I can deliver the message to you that matter. I really don&#8217;t care how many missing &#8217;s&#8217; and how many missing &#8216;ed&#8217; in my writing. [Malaysian should be proud of our ability to speak and write multiple languages]</p>
<p>This is a very very very long post but it will be very very <strong>eye opening and interesting post</strong>. Since I only write once in a while, you can read a few paragraphs a day (who knows maybe you need to wait for the next PM changed before I will write another post).</p>
<p>This is a follow up to <a href="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/cancer.php">my cancer</a> post and all the comments there. Please read that post first if you are new here.</p>
<p><strong>Why Observations and Conclusions from the so called scientific approach can be way wrong?</strong></p>
<p>Modern medicine beats any medicine and healing approaches in the world because of their so called <em>scientific approach</em>. Everything looks so <em>systematic </em>and <em>effective</em>. Smart people go to University to take medicine courses and become doctors because of the systematic education approach. Experiments are done in statistical approach to get the &#8216;correct&#8217; observations and conclusions. It swipe the entire globe in less than a century and every corner of the earth is now believing strongly on them.</p>
<p>They are REALLY doing a fantastic job on handling trauma cases, i.e. snake bites, lion bites, fell off the cliff, shot my missile, crashed by a train, beaten up by Jet Li, bullet in the brain, nuclear bomb aftermath, etc. <strong>They do a superb work in the emergency ward.</strong> No other healing methods can even come close to them.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, they failed miserably outside the emergency room. You just can&#8217;t use the emergency &#8220;cut it open with a knife&#8221; mindset on treating everything!</p>
<p>For heavy weight diseases like cancer, heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes, stones to the lower weight fever, flu, sore throat, nose sensitive, pimples, dandruff and to the NEVERLAND allergies, hair lose, myopia, far-sightedness, etc. They just failed. <strong>Not only they failed, they failed after dumping billions of dollar into it.</strong></p>
<p>They claimed to be scientific, but most of the time they like to tell their cancer patient, &#8220;Cancer cells are spontaneous and random!&#8221;. Spontaneous and random never come close to <em>scientific</em>. They tell the high blood pressure patients,  &#8220;People usually get this when they get old!&#8221;</p>
<p>Most scary thing they would say to their patients are, &#8220;You have X more days to live!&#8221; They also like to blame genetics and hormones when they are confused.</p>
<p>Ask yourself, do you like these kind of answers? Do you like doctors telling you you are sick because you are old, your inherit some genes problems or that your hormone has some problem that we can&#8217;t do anything to?</p>
<p>Why do you get flu? Why do you get sore throat? According to modern medicine, that is because our bodies are invaded by germs &#8211; bacterias and viruses! I suppose that is what you believe in if you haven&#8217;t encounter anyone like me who tell you loudly and confidently, &#8220;No! It is not!&#8221;.</p>
<p>How is the scientific experiment done? The researchers take a lot of blood samples from both the sick people and the normal people. This is call the statistically approach. According to them, the bigger the sample, the more accurate the observations and conclusions.</p>
<p>After analyzing all the bloods, they notice that in the blood of the sicked, they found those tiny little things under the microscope that is NOT in the blood of the normal people, which they call the germs &#8211; the bacteria and the viruses.</p>
<p>The sample is big. So they claim the observation to be correct. So they make the conclusion that these germs/aliens in our bodies causes the disease! <strong>So as long as we can kill them, we get heal!</strong></p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the problem here? Isn&#8217;t that it sounds scientific and logical? Isn&#8217;t that it looks very intelligent?</p>
<p>Because they make the conclusion that germs are our ENEMY, the way to handle it is to use WAR. They use the &#8220;war to stop the war&#8221;approach on healing. It looks like they are right, because your flu, your fever and your sore throat do get better after taking all those antibiotics and drugs that they invented to kill those germs.</p>
<p>But&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>Fact #1</strong></p>
<p>Even if you don&#8217;t take any antibiotics and drugs, your flu, your sore throat and your fever will also get well later. It might be slower and you might not feel comfortable, but can you see that you can heal without any of these medicine? You can heal without doing anything?</p>
<p>Come one step further, it is not those antibiotics and drugs that really heal us but it is our own body that heal us! It is our own healing mechanism in action. The antibiotics merely help in reducing the cause factors and the drugs might only serve the purpose of making you feel better (less pain).</p>
<p><strong>Fact #2</strong></p>
<p>Science and logical thinking is not as simple as this -</p>
<p>1. If the sky is cloudy, it will rain.<br />
2. Today the sky is cloudy.<br />
3. Today it will rain.</p>
<p>WHY? Because there are just too many factors that you will missed that make observations and conclusions totally useless. The modern medicine says</p>
<p>1. Germs cause diseases.<br />
2. He has germs in his body.<br />
3. That&#8217;s why he is sicked.</p>
<p>It looks OK and logical and very intelligent. Let looks at how many factors you can miss because of that.</p>
<p>1. My car is red.<br />
2. There is a red car.<br />
3. That must be my car!</p>
<p>So all red Ferrari in the world is mine! I would prefer the world to work that way, but we just got to look at the car plate number, the car model, and lot of other factors.</p>
<p><strong>Fact #3</strong></p>
<p>We always heard of food poisoning. It usually happen to an entire family and maybe an entire school. All of them take the SAME poisoned food, but can you explain why the responds from them can be way different?</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s say a class of 30 students eat the same poisoned food, 5 might die, 10 need to be hospitalized, 10 have only mild syndromes while 5 don&#8217;t even feel a thing!</p>
<p>WHY? Isn&#8217;t all of them take the same poisoned food? The same <em>cause</em>? Because &#8216;poisoned food&#8217; is not just the only factor! It is only one of the important factors, another important factor is the body which takes the poisoned food.</p>
<p>Take another example, when flu strike, most school children will be infected because the germs is everywhere. But still there are always a few students that is not infected at all! Germs is part of the reason, not the only reason.</p>
<p><strong>So what went wrong with the Germs Theory?</strong></p>
<p>They went wrong in the <strong>focus</strong>! They found germs in the sick people. So they think that if they can <strong>kill </strong>those germs, then can win the <strong>battle</strong>. This is called the war approach. Or the anger against anger approach.</p>
<p><strong>The objective of curing is healing! Not killing!</strong></p>
<p>If you observe that bacteria is in the body of the sick patient, lots of conclusions can be made and lots of  approaches can be taken. Not simply &#8216;get the germs out there&#8217;.</p>
<p>The modern medicine like to assume that the sick person is <strong>innocent</strong>. If we are sicked, it is because something else make us so &#8211; the germs (and hormones,  genes, age, cancer cells, etc). We are not responsible for that, we have nothing to do with that. We are suppose to be healthy and normal no matter what we have done to our self. We become sicked when those notorious germs come and attack us like the aliens invade the earth. And it must be played as a war game. We need to kill those bastards that come to invade our neighborhoods.</p>
<p><strong>The blaming and &#8220;I am not responsible&#8221; mindset is the problem.</strong></p>
<p>Well, if you take a large sample, says 10 million people and you notice that the 9 million sick people have germs in their body but the 1 million normal people don&#8217;t have, you can also make a conclusion that the 1 million people is actually doing something different and that&#8217;s why they don&#8217;t have germs in their body! 1 in 10 people is meaningless, but 1 in 10 million is very significant.</p>
<p>What modern medicine shall be doing is to observe and research on this 1 million people and see WHY given the same situation, given the same bacteria, given the same food, they are not infected! And then teach those 9 million sick people to do what the 1 million is doing (or not doing).</p>
<p>Why some nurse who come close to SARS patient got infected while some don&#8217;t? Why the 2 roommates who share the very same room and got bitten by lots of mosquitoes, 1 got dengue and the other got nothing?</p>
<p><strong>Example &#8211; The discovery of High Growth Hormones (HGH)  and the conclusions they made.</strong></p>
<p>Scientists and experts do a lot of research on HGH and notice that when people get old, their brain no longer release this hormone and that&#8217;s why they are aging. So they thought they found the way to stop people from growing old! How? By consuming HGH!</p>
<p>It looks fantastic on the surface but this again demonstrates the &#8220;blaming&#8221; and &#8220;I am not responsible&#8221; mindset.</p>
<p>They blame the lack of HGH for making them old. So to solve that, they inject HGH into their body.</p>
<p>What should modern medicine be doing instead?</p>
<p>If they observe that people who get old no longer produce HGH, they should look at why there are so many people who are 80 and 90 and are still producing a lot of HGH and see what they are doing differently! Why those 1 million in the 10 million still producing HGH in their body while the 9 million is not? Find the reason and teach that 9 million people to do what the 1 million is doing (or not doing)!</p>
<p>The conclusion that &#8220;old people will stop producing HGH&#8221; is very misleading because there are many old people that are still producing it. The same goes to the conclusion that &#8220;germs causes diseases&#8221; because there are many people who just aren&#8217;t infected in the same environment by the same bacteria.</p>
<p>To put it one step further. If we are to inject flu germs directly into the body of 2 persons, 1 might get sick while the other might be totally normal. If you then check their blood, it is true that the one that is sicked has loads of germs in his body and the other one has none. Can you make a conclusion from this case and say, &#8220;bacteria causes disease&#8221;? Do you think that will be correct?</p>
<p>[Tips: Do you know that if you have taken HGH, you are not allowed to donate blood? Do you know that you are not allowed to take HGH if you are pregnant because it can affect your child? Do you know that HGH is a banned drugs for sports? You should ask yourself why such a good thing cannot be taken for the above situations.]</p>
<p><strong>Story &#8211; The most famous doctor in my neighborhood<br />
</strong></p>
<p>When I was a small kid before I went to school, there came the first doctor to my neighborhood. He is so famous and popular that they named the entire garden under his name! He <em>seems </em>to have the power to heal anyone very quickly. What is his secret? He will give you lots of antibiotics and drugs to eat anytime you go to see him.</p>
<p>With his healing philosophy, do you know what happen to him today? He is still a doctor and is still sitting in his same old clinic 30 years later and he is still very famous and popular. But now he double his size and he has got himself high blood pressure and diabetes. He tells his patient, &#8220;It is <em>normal </em>for old people to get this and that. See I also have it. Don&#8217;t worry.&#8221; His patients like his answer.</p>
<p><strong>AhYap: The most abnormal thing human do is to assume abnormal as normal!</strong></p>
<p>Human psychology is interesting and funny. For human -</p>
<p><strong>- It&#8217;s normal when a lot of people is doing the same thing.<br />
</strong><strong>- It&#8217;s n</strong><strong>ormal when a lot of people is believing in the same thing.<br />
</strong><strong>- It&#8217;s n</strong><strong>ormal when it is happening to a lot of people.</strong></p>
<p>The term of this psychology phenomenon is called &#8220;references&#8221;. People are usually confuse most of the time when they live on this earth. They don&#8217;t know where they come from. They don&#8217;t know where they are going after they die. And they don&#8217;t know what are they suppose to do when they are living!</p>
<p>In order not to get confuse, they look at people around them and see what they are thinking and doing and they follow them. <strong>Normal becomes a number game where majority wins.</strong></p>
<p>But we can&#8217;t treat abnormal as normal just because everyone else is doing that, just because it is happening to everyone else.</p>
<p>Today, 9 out of 10 Chinese kids in Malaysia are wearing spectacles! The parents think it is normal since their classmates are wearing spectacles too. But in our parents generation, it is quite rare for them to wear spectacles! Even Indian and Malay kids are rare to found wearing spectacles.</p>
<p>If modern medicine observes this, they will use the &#8216;blaming&#8217; mindset again and blame the genes! What genes? Chinese Genes! Because they observe that the Malay and Indian genes are OK.</p>
<p>But if it is genes, why our parents and grand parents are not wearing them?</p>
<p>Now 1 out of 3 people will have cancer. Almost everyone will have either one (or many) of these in their life time &#8211; high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, stones, etc. Shall we feel comfortable with this just because everyone around you is the same as you? Shall we lie to our self and treat this abnormalities as normal?</p>
<p><strong>What crisis is more severe than the &#8220;Financial Crisis?&#8221; The &#8220;Health Crisis&#8221;!</strong></p>
<p>Fast forward 20 years from now, if the modern medicine refuse to have a big changes to their mindset, what will happen today to the world economies &#8211; the financial crisis, will happen to the world humanity, as the health crisis.</p>
<p>They have many similarities. They are both caused by the people that we believe as smart, as intelligent. The people that we call experts. In the financial crisis, we trusted the Stamford and Harvard MBAs who work in the big banks and financial institutions who think they can calculate anything. They screw up.</p>
<p>Now the smart people in the health industry &#8211; the doctors, the researches, the drugs companies, the hospital, the Universities, etc. are going to create the most severe &#8220;health crisis&#8217; in our civilization.</p>
<p>When you are stupid, the most harm you can do might be to steal your father&#8217;s gun and kill 17 people in your classroom and then shoot yourself. Even the smart terrorist can only blown up 2 towers in the US killing over 5,000 people with 2 planes.</p>
<p>What can all the smart people in the entire modern medicine industry can do to the world if they continue what they do now?!</p>
<p>Its is more scary than a nuclear warfare. It will be like many nuclear bombs drop all over the world. So many people suffering and dying. Everyone has cancer, everyone has diabetes, everyone has heart attack.</p>
<p>50 years ago, cancer is not even in the top 10 causes of death. Now it is #1. Just because 99% of people will die of cancer 20 years from now, it doesn&#8217;t make any sense to say that it is <em>normal</em> because it is happening to everyone. Modern medicine should look back 50 years ago and see why they are not getting cancer instead of blaming the cancer cells for everything and declare a war on them!</p>
<p>Heart attack that is far up in the chart 50 years ago is now #2 killing cause. Why? Because human are suppose to die of cancer? People are suppose to die of hearth attack because these are the normal way to die?</p>
<p>[Skeptics and critics, there is no point for you to pull out statistics and tell me actually heart attack is not #2 but #4 or cancer is not #1 but #2. What can you get from that?]</p>
<p>The theories we are having now no longer serve us. Why need lots of facts and proves, a lot of researches and experiments<strong> that can&#8217;t deliver any results that we want? </strong></p>
<p>Do you prefer loads of chart and figures that don&#8217;t create results you want or your prefer a method that has not much proves, under-researched but is giving you the results you want? Which theories you want to believe in?</p>
<p>Cancer statistics using modern medicine therapy is simple. 5 out of 10 who undergo the treatment (chemotherapy, operation removal, etc.) will die within 5 years. That&#8217;s less than 50% survival. The statistic is also biased because if one die in the 1st day of his 6th year, he is still consider a survivor. The statistic will not be updated after tracking the patient for 5 years.</p>
<p>People who choose not to undergo modern therapy shows significant better results. Nope, we don&#8217;t have amazing laboratories to do experiment. We don&#8217;t have loads of charts and figures and scientific terms to show you. But many of those who undergo natural healing therapy actually live 10, 20 or 30 years more! All you need to do is to find their stories in Google! There are just too many of them.</p>
<p>Modern medicine should do a lot of research on them and see what they are doing differently then others and learn from them! And then they should teach other cancer patients to do what they do!</p>
<p>[Unfortunately, this is difficult for them because natural therapy is simple, easy and cheap. They have complicated minds and they need to make things complicated before they can be happy. And most important they can't charge you expensive medical bills for simple therapy. That's why they have to <strong>invent </strong>complicated treatment for you so they can charge you more.]</p>
<p>If modern medicine is not ignorant and willing to look and listen. They will definitely notice the same pattern among the survivals, their method is  always to change their lifestyle. Keyword &#8211; <strong>lifestyle</strong>. They change what they eat, how they live and how to think.</p>
<p><strong>If you continue to do the same thing, you will get the same results. </strong>If modern medicine continue to do the same thing, they will get the same failures.</p>
<p>AhYap favorite&#8217;s quote, <strong>&#8220;If you do what others people do, you will get what others people get. They are poor, unhealthy and unhappy.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Obama&#8217;s favorite quote, &#8220;Change we need!&#8221;</p>
<p>We need better theories. I don&#8217;t invent these theories, they are already out there for a long time. It is just the ignorant that is trying to ignore it.</p>
<h2><strong>Better Theory #1 &#8211; Germs don&#8217;t cause diseases, your lifestyle does.</strong></h2>
<p>Germs in just part of the equation. In order for germs to stay in a body, the body must be a suitable medium for their survival. They are just living organism like us. They need food and protection (predators). It is very difficult for us to live in Antarctica because it is too cold and it doesn&#8217;t have much food. All living organism has their preferences of survival. For example, fish need to live in water. Germs has their own preferences too.</p>
<p>If our blood has plenty of food for them and our immune system is weak, they will love to come and live there! There are too many toxin in our blood that serve as their food which also cause our immune system to be weak.</p>
<p>Think! If there is no food, how do this organism survive? If there are plenty of active white blood cells in your blood (their predators), how can they survive? If they can think, they won&#8217;t even want to get near you!</p>
<p>Germs is natural to us! Germs is normal! They have natural flow. They live in places that they can live in. And you can always found them in places suitable for their living. Just like we have people in almost all lands on earth. Just like we have fish in almost all water ponds. Just like grass and trees will simply grow back up again after you demolish them.</p>
<h2><strong>Better Theory #2 &#8211; <a href="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/cancer.php">Cancer is not a disease! It is a healing mechanism!</a></strong></h2>
<p>A long post has been written on this. This is an important post to read. When the toxin level in our body reach a critical level that our body couldn&#8217;t tolerate anymore, our body enter a &#8216;red alert&#8217; situation and send out cancer cells (the Ramboos, the Ninjas, the Heroes) to control the situation.</p>
<p>Killing them will only make the body send more of them. The solution is to treat the root cause. What have you done to the body until it has to send out an army to work for you? Once you undo what you do, your body will order the cancer cells to retire.</p>
<h2><strong>Better Theory #3 &#8211; High cholesterol in your blood is a protection mechanism. Cholesterol is created by the body, they are not consumed via food!</strong></h2>
<p>High cholesterol is the cause of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and other blood vessel relate diseases. Because cholesterol jam the blood vessel, blood has to flow harder and thus result in high blood pressure (too much blood in too little space), heart attack (heart work too hard until it failed) and stroke (blood vessel exploded!).</p>
<p>Modern medicine observed this, which is true (partially true) just like how they observe the germs in sick patients, how they observe the cancer cells multiplying fast. Their approach is to use medicine to control the high blood pressure and to ask patients to consume food without cholesterol.</p>
<p>Does it work? Yes, in the short term. But the drugs and medicine used will cause kidney failure in the end because the drugs themselves are poison too. You solve one problem by creating another bigger one. You declare war on the wrong subject &#8211; cholesterol. You use the blaming approach and blame the cholesterol. You use &#8216;war approach&#8217; to cholesterol.</p>
<p>[We should call these drugs 'cancer' instead because they are really destroying us]</p>
<p>Modern medicine believes that cholesterol is digested via food. Again you see how experiment can give<strong> wrong observations </strong>(more politely, incomplete observations) and then make <strong>wrong conclusions</strong> (more politely, inaccurate conclusions) and<strong> wrong approaches</strong> (more politely, inappropriate approaches).</p>
<p>They observe all high blood pressure patients and notice that most of them consume a lot of high cholesterol food. So it is logical for them to assume that they have consumed the cholesterol via food.</p>
<p>There is an interesting case in isolation. In their effort to fight cholesterol, they encounter a case where an entire family is in <strong>critical cholesterol level </strong>and is chosen to be the experiment target. For several years, researchers have done a lot to them including putting them to<strong> Zero-Cholestrol</strong> food. And yet, their body is still showing a high level of cholesterol.</p>
<p>They scratched their head helplessly. And they use their best blaming victim again, &#8220;It&#8217;s genetic!&#8221; <strong>Poor Mr Genes</strong> getting blame again and again for anything the modern medicine fail to tackle.</p>
<p>One day, a guy came in and say to the researches, &#8220;Since you can&#8217;t do anything for several years, why not lend me your patients for 3 months and see what I can do?&#8221;</p>
<p>They agreed, since they want this guy to feel ashamed of himself. If their team of smart intelligent researches can&#8217;t do a shit on this in several years, how can this man does something in 3 months? [Just like why some  people think AhYap is a <a href="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/sohai.php">sohai</a> because he thinks he can influence people and affect modern medicine by writing blog posts. And critic me again and again.]</p>
<p>This man, brings the cholesterol level of the ENTIRE family down to normal level in less than 3 months. All the experts couldn&#8217;t believe it and is showing their BIG round eyes and BIG mouth opened.</p>
<p>He is not trying to show off, he is trying to show the world the right observations, the right conclusion and the right approach. Just like what I am doing with my blog post. There is nothing to show off. It is not ignorant writing, and it is not that I don&#8217;t care! It is because I care too much and I have great pain seeing people suffering. I understand that my tone of writing might not be suitable but those will be changed to softer tones (I need some time).</p>
<p>The man explained, &#8220;<strong>Cholesterol can be created by the body anytime the body needs it!</strong>&#8220;. But hey, isn&#8217;t cholesterol a bad thing? It looks like a bad thing because you see it as the cause of high blood pressure and heart attack. But it exist for the simple reason! <strong>It protects your blood vessel from corroding!</strong></p>
<p>Again all theories above come from the same school of thought. Your blood toxic and acidity level grow so high that it can actually corrode your blood vessel! If that happen, you will die! And in order to protect you, your intelligent healing mechanism of your body actually creates cholesterol and stick them around your blood vessel to protect them from the acidic blood!</p>
<p>Slowly, it cause unpleasant symptoms like high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke that you hate. But hey man, do you see the reason why it exist in the first place? Do you understand now why the genetically-high-cholesterol family can&#8217;t get their blood pressure down even with cholesterol-free food? And why the genes really has nothing wrong? [Actually can you see that not only the genes has nothing wrong, it is actually performing its work pretty well by creating cholesterol in your body?]</p>
<p>If your blood is not toxic and acidic, even if you consume cholesterol, it will be eliminate by the body quickly because your body doesn&#8217;t need it!</p>
<p>Now you see how Germs, Cancer and Vessel-Related disease can be linked together easily with the same school of thought while modern medicine try to look at all of them as isolation, as random, as genetically based, as war, as invaders&#8230;</p>
<h2><strong>Theory #4 &#8211; You have pimples not because your hormone has problem. You have dandruff not because your scalp got problem.</strong></h2>
<p>Grown up teenagers will suddenly have a lot of pimples and acne on their face. Modern medicine says it is due to the change of hormone. <strong>Mr Hormone</strong>, you are another poor victim of modern medicine after Mr Genes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perspective, perspective, perspective. We have a lot of incorrect perspectives that we need to change. While some wrong perspective won&#8217;t affect us much (like whether the earth goes round the sun or the sun goes round the earth), <strong>some wrong perspectives can actually kill a lot of people!</strong></p>
<p><img class="alignnone" src="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/images/cancer/doctor.jpg" alt="doctor" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>Doctors are intelligent but they don&#8217;t have wisdom</strong> (see I am making enemies with police, BN, mutual funds and now doctors!).</p>
<p>They are damn smart. Their brain can memorize and process information billions of times faster than ordinary people like you and me. Put me to study medicine and I am sure I will be sent to Hospital Tanjung Rambutan for treatment.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t care how smart are you but if you are learning, memorizing and processing the wrong information, <strong>you are still only smart at doing the wrong thing!</strong> And that&#8217;s &#8216;no wisdom&#8217;. Please note that I am only referring to doctors involving in treating disease and sickness. I still have 100% respect to doctors on handling emergency cases and savings lives of those hit by a car or bitten by snakes. But for treating diseases and sickness, it is a total failure and it only show how foolish are they.</p>
<p>Luckily, there are some doctors who are awakening, such as Dr Kradjian on <a href="milk.php">milk and calsium</a>. But there are just too little of them. We need more of them.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Today, AhYap is going to change your perspective on cancer and explain to you why it is actually a good thing and not a bad thing that the modern medicine make it to be.</p>
<p><strong>Cancer is a not disease.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Cancer is a healing mechanism. </strong></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Cancer is the symptom and not the cause!</strong></span></p>
<p>It is stupid and foolish to treat symptom and not the cause <strong>which is what modern medicine is all about</strong> when it comes to treating disease and sickness!</p>
<p>The initial assumption by doctors that cancer cells are the <strong>enemy </strong>is already wrong. If you start with a wrong assumption, everything that follow is wrong. If you want to go to Singapore and you keep on going north, you just won&#8217;t get there. Not only you won&#8217;t get there, you are getting further and further away and end up in Thailand! So doctors are doing more harm to the patient than on healing them.</p>
<p>So what do doctors do? They treat cancer cells as enemies, who they think without invitation, without any reasons, suddenly come and attack the body. So their treatment philosophy on cancer is to kill all the cancer cells! <strong>They declare war on cancer cells!</strong></p>
<p>STUPID!!!</p>
<p><strong>1.</strong> Cancer cells is not your enemy but your friend.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> Cancer cells actually come by your own invitation and with a meaningful reason!</p>
<p><strong>3.</strong> They didn&#8217;t attack your body, they are trying to heal you!</p>
<p>I know you are saying (especially doctors and those heavily influence by modern medicine), &#8220;<a href="sohai.php">Sohai</a>, do you know what the hell you are talking about?&#8221; I don&#8217;t care what you think, I still have to write because there are at least 1% of the people in the world who are <a href="ability-to-investigate.php">open minded</a> enough to accept a new perspective and thus save a lot of life! I would rather be Galileo than to hide the truth!</p>
<p>Have you heard of people who totally recover from cancer? Did you investigate on them and see what have they done in common?</p>
<p><strong>When it comes to disease, always treat the cause and not the symptom!</strong></p>
<p>- When you have <strong>acne and pimples</strong>, there is nothing wrong with your hormone and your skin and the bacteria! Eating hormone pills and <strong>keep painting your face with Oxy</strong> is treating the symptom and not the cause.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/images/cancer/oxy.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>- When you have <strong>dandruff</strong>, there is nothing wrong with your scalp. Actually your scalp is performing its function very well! Washing your head with <strong>Head and Shoulders</strong> is treating the symptom and not the cause.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/images/cancer/head_and_shouders.jpg" alt="Head and Shoulder Shampoo" /></p>
<p>- When you have <strong>sore throat</strong>, there is nothing wrong with the virus. Eating antibiotics and Fisherman pills is treating the symptom and not the cause.</p>
<p>- When you have <strong>gastric</strong>, there is nothing wrong with your stomach releasing hydrochloric acid. Eating Actal pills (alkaline pills) and drinking <a href="milk.php">milk</a> is treating the symptom and not the cause.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ahyap.com/blog/images/cancer/actal.jpg" alt="Actal Pill" /></p>
<p>- When you have <strong>kidney stones, gall stones, bladder stones or brain stones</strong>, there is nothing wrong with the kidney and the stone. Ask your doctor to cut it open and dig out the stone is treating the symptom and not the cause.</p>
<p>- When you have <strong>headache</strong>, almost all the time it is not your head that have problem. Eating Panadol is treating the symptom and not the cause.</p>
<p>The list can go on so long (heart problems, high blood pressure&#8230;). And I will definitely write and explain all of them in my blog later. I am a real life victim of pimples, gastric, dandruff, <a href="milk.php">milk</a>(!), antibiotics, headache, etc and have a lot of stories to tell.</p>
<p><strong>Then what is cancer cells doing in our body?</strong></p>
<p>The cancer cells is just <strong>normal cells</strong> that have been <strong>asked to</strong> mutate to perform certain things (keyword &#8211; <em>asked to</em>).</p>
<p>It starts to get interesting isn&#8217;t it? <img src='http://www.ahyap.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Who asked the normal cells to mutate and why they are being asked to mutate?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sometimes (actually most of the time) what the Malaysian government really want is very confusing and contradicting to the people.</p>
<p>When the economy is not good, government use the magic pill called &#8216;interest rate&#8217; to boost up the economy. By lowering interest rate, businesses can access to cheaper funds to expand their business and produce more goods/services. They will hire more people and thus create more jobs, expand production and thus increase purchases of raw materials, etc. Consumers are also tempted to borrow more money to spend, such as buying cars, house, Armani, etc. So the reason to reduce interest rate is to increase spending.</p>
<p>Government also setup emergency funds for SME to borrow and use. Reason? To increase spending.</p>
<p>EPF asks us to reduce contributions from 11% to 7% so we can have the extra money to spend and thus get the economy rolling.</p>
<p>I understand all these. But at the same time, government also ask us not to spend money. They say the economy is not good. They ask us not to go shopping, not to buy house, not to buy car. They ask us to keep all our money and spend nothing.</p>
<p><strong>They even ask us not to buy vegetables but instead plant them ourselves. Ask us not to eat in mamak store but cook ourselves. They even suggest something call the &#8216;no spending day&#8217; where we choose a day that whole Malaysian will not be spending.</strong></p>
<p>Ahem&#8230;..</p>
<p>I am confused. Mr Government, what do you actually want me to do? To spend or not to spend?</p>
<p>When they ask us not to spend and give suggestions that we should plant vegetables ourselves and organize &#8216;no spending day&#8217;, you know that they come from politicians that can talk but don&#8217;t know what they are talking (ahem, they are leaders chosen by you).</p>
<p>Lets look at planting vegetables ourselves.</p>
<p>In KL, if you have land in your house to plant vegetables, I think you are the less affected by the economy downturn! Most people stay in condos, apartments and terrace house and where should they plant the vegetables? In the toilet bowl? Or on top of their proton saga?</p>
<p>Now look at the effect of &#8216;no spending&#8217;.</p>
<p>Everyone is not going to Mid Valley and mamak store and kopitiam. The management of Mid Valley and the CEO of the mamak store decided that since there will be no business, why do business? So they close shop. All staff no need to work and no salary is paid because their work is no longer required. Staff has no salary, business also not making money. Business don&#8217;t pay rent anymore. Premise owner also don&#8217;t have money to pay loan installment. The ex-staff also don&#8217;t have money to eat and feed their family! They spend their savings if they still have some. Factory also stop running because mid valley won&#8217;t buy their productions because no one is buying. Factory worker also lost their job. Factory are not buying new machine, machine seller also go out of business. Factory and Mid Valley are not using electricity, <a href="tenaga nasional">TNB also lose money</a>. Everyone no money to eat, farmers also stop planting because their crops are left to rot because no one is buying. Borrowers don&#8217;t have money to pay housing loan and car loan. Loans start to default. Borrowers become bankrupt, bank loses money and don&#8217;t want to lend anymore&#8230; then parti keadilan blame BN for all these, Lim Kit Siang and Kapal Sigh blame Najib and Ong Kee Tiat for these, the Malay blame Chinese for all these, and the Chinese blame feng shui for all these&#8230;</p>
<p>Sorry to be too fat fetched. I just want you to know the chain reaction of not spending is very big. Even if the whole Malaysians stop spending for just 1 day, the effect can be very destructing.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Although most of us didn&#8217;t go to business school. The economy can be understood by this simple metaphor. The whole <strong>economy </strong>is like our <strong>body</strong>. The <strong>money </strong>flowing is like our <strong>blood</strong>. Our blood need to circulate to do all the works of transporting oxygen to the body and carbon dioxide out of our body. The blood also contains white blood cells that protect us from &#8216;alien&#8217;, platelets that stop us from bleeding to death, etc. The blood play an important role to sustain the health of the body. All it needs to do is just to flow and flow and continue to flow. What happened when the blood stop flowing? The body dies. The same applies to economy (the body), the money (blood) flow decides the health/state of the economy (body)</p>
<p>Blood stop flowing = die.<br />
Blood flowing too slow? tired, boredom = economy downturn/recession.<br />
Blood flowing too fast? stress, high blood pressure, heart attack! = inflation, &#8220;hard landing&#8221;, unsustainable growth and economy collapsed.</p>
<p>interest rate = one of the magic pill to control how fast the blood flow. Higher = make it slower. Lower = make it faster.</p>
<p>Japan interest rate is almost zero. The magic pill don&#8217;t work in Japan. The Japanese themselves don&#8217;t spend money. Everyday is &#8216;no spending day&#8217;. The Japanese can only sell to non-Japanese so actually the non-Japanese are doing blood infusion to the Japan economy to sustain their life. Now the whole world does&#8217;t have enough blood and no longer be able to do blood infusion to Japan. That&#8217;s why Japan is the first country in the world to get into recession in this &#8216;crisis&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>Leaders are meant to lead and teach people. Choose your leaders wisely.</p>

		<title>The MORE Milk You Drink The LESS Calcium You Have In Your Body.</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Doctor say you should drink more milk to get more calcium so your bone can get stronger. All milk advertisements also say the same thing. You never doubt that. Anlene says 2 cups of anlene give you all the calcium you need in a day. By watching the TV ad every day you also think it is true, since no body ever tell you it is wrong. And newspaper also tell you it is true. Everyone (the blinds) is telling everyone else (the blinds) drink more milk for more calcium.</p>
<p>So as a good son or daughter you buy milk for your old mum to drink. Because you want to be &#8216;good&#8217; to them, you force them to drink 2 cups of milk daily. She is also very happy because she got a good son that love her so much.</p>
<p><strong>But what if I tell you instead of loving her you are actually trying to kill her?</strong></p>
<p>Something that everyone else say is correct can be way wrong. And you have to always remember the story of Galileo, the man who said it is not the sun that circle around the earth but the earth that is circling around the sun. Everyone think he is way wrong at that time and even lock him up in his own house for his entire life.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I wrote a long post on <a href="ability-to-investigate.php">be open minded and ready to investigate</a>. A lot (almost all!) of things in this world that you think is right can be just way wrong. Remember Galileo, be open minded.</p>
<p><strong>Why milk actually leak calcium out of your body instead of giving you the calcium?</strong></p>
<p>There is no lie by the packaging of the milk that it indeed contain a lot of calcium in the milk. But unfortunately not only that the calcium will not be absorbed but it actually will leak more calcium that you originally have out of your body! That means the more milk you drink the more calcium will get out of your body! The more milk you drink, the more quicker you will get calcium deficiency and bone problem.</p>
<p>Did you brain just say, &#8220;No way!&#8221; ?</p>
<p><strong>Why drinking milk leak calcium out of your body?</strong></p>
<p>Because I want you to do the investigation yourself (using Google is enough), I will just explain it in a few short sentences. If that drive your curiosity, investigate on it and see if you will still let your mum drink milk.</p>
<p>Yes, milk contains calcium. But milk is also liquid protein that is called acid lactic. So milk is actually acidic! (gastric patients are asked to drink milk, which is also very foolish, I will explain in another post). When you drink too much milk, your body become acidic. But our body cannot tolerate acidic and cannot function well (and will even die) if it gets too acidic. But our body is a very intelligent machine that it will try to correct everything by its own. So when your body becomes too acidic, it starts to drain calcium (alkali) from your bone and teeth to neutralize your blood! Your body has choose to respond to the crisis by &#8216;borrowing&#8217; calcium from your bone and teeth!</p>
<p>Skeptical? Investigate yourself.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.notmilk.com/kradjian.html">THE MILK LETTER : A MESSAGE TO MY PATIENTS</a></p>
<blockquote><p>It seems that the countries with the highest intake of dairy products are invariably the countries with the most osteoporosis.</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>For the key to the osteoporosis riddle, don’t look at calcium, look at protein. Consider these two contrasting groups. Eskimos have an exceptionally high protein intake estimated at 25 percent of total calories. They also have a high calcium intake at 2,500 mg/day. Their osteoporosis is among the worst in the world. The other instructive group are the Bantus of South Africa. They have a 12 percent protein diet, mostly p lant protein, and only 200 to 350 mg/day of calcium, about half our women&#8217;s intake. The women have virtually no osteoporosis despite bearing six or more children and nursing them for prolonged periods! When African women immigrate to the United States, do they develop osteoporosis? The answer is yes, but not quite are much as Caucasian or Asian women. Thus, there is a genetic difference that is modified by diet.</p>
<p>To answer the obvious question, &#8220;Well, where do you get your calcium?&#8221; The answer is: &#8220;From exactly the same place the cow gets the calcium, from green things that grow in the ground,&#8221; mainly from leafy vegetables. After all, elephants and rhinos develop their huge bones (after being weaned) by eating green leafy plants, so do horses. Carnivorous animals also do quite nicely without leafy plants. It seems that all of earth&#8217;s mammals do well if they live in harmony with their genetic programming and natural food. Only humans living an affluent life style have rampant osteoporosis.</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Update: </strong>This post has sparked a debate <a href="http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/866190">here</a>. Interesting! <img src='http://www.ahyap.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
