Small Molecule: DCA offers hope to Cancer Sufferers
A recent breakthrough in nanotechnology molecule technology has promising results for cancer sufferers. According to a report by University of Alberta, the molecule acts as a regression agent towards cancer cells.
The best part of this DCA is that it does not have any side effects on non cancerous and normal tissues. This contradicts the conventional kind of treatment where chemo therapies and radio therapies are killing all the good and bad cells in our body. More....

My Review On Colloidal Mineral
There was this skepticism on the use of Colloidal Minerals as our supplement. Although there were no extensive research on the effectiveness but on my personal experience, it does help to boost up my energy level to a certain degree.
During my younger years, my exposure to hard days of work did take a toll on my physique. I was completely drained off at the end of each day. My pharmacist recommended me this supplement. I tried it. I felt energize and tiredness was off my mind. It did great for my body.
I was made to understand the current status of our cultivated land has been exposed to erosion. Our top soil which used to be nutrients rich has now been over stressed and over extracted. The way our farmers replant the same crop on the same land ripped the same nutrients year in and year out. Since most of our food grains and vegetables derive their minerals from the top soil, we are then deprived from the full mineral spectrum from the food we eat.
Our body could produce vitamins but not minerals. We could produce our own vitamin D by exposing ourselves to sunlight. But we can't produce a single strand of mineral. Learn more
Another interesting issue to note on the difference between ionic and colloidal minerals here....
Can We Control The Air Emitted From Our Neighbour?
I am living in Penang, Malaysia, part of South East Asia. We had a problem for half part of the year.........when we have dry season in our neighbour.....Indonesia.
It is a grieving problem whenever our neighbours had their harvest done, they practice a conventional way of clearing their land. Burning it. The effects has been tremendously bad and the situation gets worst when the wind direction shift towards us.
Our affected countries' leaders had their views forwarded to our Indonesia neighbour on numerous occasion. read related story here....
We are at mercy cause we can't do much. The land they burnt belongs to them.
But it sound strange to me when I hear the news today about the controversy Walt Disney had with the neighbours and the Hong Kong Government 'sidelines' those affected.
I think various view should be sought before any long term effects on health from the air pollution created by the fireworks. continue here....
Mobile Phone Risks 'Need Further Study'.
Professor Challis who is a radiation expert is calling for a full scale study on the effects of mobile phone. According to him, the effects can be traceable by conducting a survey on a 200,000 populations.
Analog mobile phones models were first introduced in the early eighties. Since then many NGOs' and Government Health Department has shown great interest in the effects. But those study conducted was way too early to detect any significant results.
The Professor pressed for the comprehensive study by relating the effects of the Hiroshima Atomic Bomb and the asbestos issue (which was known after many years). Study is still pending approval grant from the British Government. continue here....
Know The Difference, Benefits and How Much Needed
We may have heard of the normal Omega 3 which has been much talked about. It has been associated with a healthy heart, blood pressure, good eye sight, ........ And Omega 6 as the normal cooking oil from palm based or soy based. Omega 9 is from olives and olive oil. Continue here for the difference....
A proper balance intake of the 3 types of Omega Oil is important to our health. Neither is to be neglected for a healthy lifestyle. Since each group contribute different functions to our body system, we need all of them in moderation and proportion.
Read more on Omega 3 for it uses, benefits, daily requirement, proportions,........ here
For Omega 6, continue here....
And Omega 9 here....
There is no doubt about the current situation where we consume more of the Omega 6 than the rest of the Omega 3 and 9. With this trend going, our health will be affected.
And as for Ladies who are taking Evening Primrose Oil, Beware! You might be overdosed. The normal cooking oil is more than enough of Omega 6!
From the Nutritionist point of view, we are lack of Omega 3 and Omega 9 in general. Therefore, we need to consume more of these 2 essential oil to balance up our consumption.
Picking The Fingers?
I heard from a friend about another way to survive a heart attack and stroke.
When someone is under attack by stroke or heart attack, normally it is due to increased in blood pressure. In that instance, use a needle to prick the end of the victim's fingers. It may be able to release some pressure from the arteries.
Theoretically it sounds logical. It may or may not work! It has yet to be proven and I can't find any write up at the moment. I will update one I find it. Read further on Heart Attack prevention.
Too Much Of Something Good May Post A Danger!
Researches on the effect of rich soy based protein in the excessive amount may post a danger to cancer victims. Read more here....
The problem lies when there is an over supply of a certain nutrients. The portion needed is over exceed which in turn reduce the rest of nutrients which is not presence in the soy based product. "Practice moderation is the best".
Most of the time when we over dose even the best nutrients in our body, we will get the 'poison effects'....

Coughing Out?
Can coughing really help to alleviate the worst scenario? Check this out here... and here....
Considering the chances of being alone and the nearest and fastest medical help is available, there is no harm trying. All you need to do is to cough out as loud as possible.
Scientifically, the cough is able to generate some extra pressure in our blood vessel to push through any blockages in our blood system. Sounds right isn't it?
"Coughing hard at the first signs of a heart attack could save a patient's life, researchers claim. Polish doctors said the pumping action caused by a deep cough would cause blood to be pushed through the body and to the brain." Continue....

I Feel Fitter And Better Now
I cycle uphill 3-4 times weekly for a duration of about an hour and a quarter each time. This regime has put me into a fitter and better person since I started it intensely 3 months back.
Before, I was on a once a week. The effects hasn't been good back then.
Now I have a BP of 75-115, Heart Rate of less than 60/min (at rest) and Body Fat at 23%( I must admit I am a bit PLUM). But I feel good.

Wondered Is This The Way?
It is quite irritating to see our favourite fruits being 'tempered' with foreign particles like wax and other kinds of preservatives. I was shown of a way to do it safely as shown in the pictures.
It should be legitimate considering the ingredient used is actually the "Toothpaste".
Happy washing....
Deficiency In Iodine Salt Has major Impact On Growth
There is another kind of salt: Iodine Salt. I found out about it from my pharmacist a couple of years back. I was briefed on the uses to prevent thyroid and since I have been using it sparingly in our food preparation. It looks like the normal granulated white salt but the properties are different. Check here....
There seems to be a great deal of problem with those who are lack from it. The population from North West China who had suffered from goitre and growth deficiency were the most obvious. The report says: "The main source of water in land-locked Xinjiang is glaciers. With very low iodine content in the soil and water, the region, especially southern Xinjiang, used to be plagued by the "big-necked disease" or cretin, caused by iodine deficiency disorder (IDD).
Of a population of 19 million in the 1980s, 1.28 million suffered goiter, with an accumulative 12,000 victims of cretin, most in the Tarim Basin, according to Wang Shaohua, deputy director of the regional health bureau." Continue here....
More to it is the miracle it could bring to Chernobyl victims. "Iodized salt could have significantly lowered the numbers of exposed children who developed thyroid cancer" Keep reading here....
Epsom Salt
I found out about this wonderful salt from a friend who happened to have survived a heart attack. We were talking about his experience of the last heart attack which occurred a couple years back.
Then I came to notice his vast experience in health knowledge. He is very much overweight. A smoker although he had tried to stop many times. We discussed many issues and one of them to me is about 'gall bladder stone' and 'kidney stone'. He had the understanding of using Epsom Salt to 'dissolve' the stone's presence in our organ.
I was amazed and I made a search on this particular subject. I am astonish with the findings. It magnesium and properties include being a fertilizer, cosmetics and medicinal value, stress relieve therapy and food taste enhancer, health benefits, and the Epsom Salt applications.
And do you know you can grow Epsom Salt Crystal?
We Can't Live Without It But We Don't Need Too Much
Salt were worth as much as gold Centuries ago. During the period, people went to war for it. Now, we are over supply and become a health problem for some.
In today's flood of processed food, we are over consuming it. We have this problem of high blood pressure, heart failure, kidney failure and liver failure more than our grandfathers. Why?
The problem lies in the urban lifestyles. We consume more processed food than before. And the problem lies from the prepared food. We are unable to access the amount of sodium from the food we take. How much do we need a day?
Alternatively, we could save our health by simply making the choice of food we desire and cook our meal without sodium. We can have it as tasty as we want by making a healthy substitution. Continue here...
