Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water
This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about Heart Attacks . The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.
For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
Common Symptoms Of Heart Attack...
A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting . Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line .
You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive.
A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this & Send to a friend. It could save a life. So, please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about.

Water!

Drinking mineral water
Mineral water is water that contains no less than 250 parts per million (ppm) of total dissolved, naturally occurring (not added) solids, or minerals. Mineral water can be labeled "low mineral content" (less than 500 ppm) or "high mineral content" (more than 1,500 ppm) minerals.
Water containing high levels of Calcium and Magnesium is called hard water. Drinking hard water is not necessarily detrimental for your health if the hardness level is not too high. Read more about hard water
Drinking Alkaline water
In order to balance the acidity produced by stress, fear, depression, pollution, poor nutrition, etc., we have to keep our body slightly alkaline ... but you don't need to force yourself to drink hard water, for this. As shown on theNutrition page, there are a lot of vegetables and minerals which can be added to your diet maintain the body Ph balance
If you really want to drink alkaline water, you can ad a pinch of baking soda or sea salt in your glass - but alkaline water doesn't taste so good, therefore will not satisfy your thirst...
** Warning: people often think that they can supply their needs of minerals from drinking water. Water in nature was never pureeven if is not artificially polluted; it always contains dissolved minerals depending on the surrounding environment. Studies have shown that only 1% of the quantity of minerals we take from the water can be assimilated by our body. When drinking high mineralized water, naturally, our body will try to eliminate the excess it cannot assimilate and this can harm our kidneys.
Highly mineralized water is not suitable for daily drinking, but in small quantities it can be used for healing purposes... Drinking of mineral waters though, can successfully heal specific ailments, in health resorts and only as a 10- 12 day cure, with medical prescription and supervision.
Drinking spring water
Spring water is water obtained from an underground formation from which water flows naturally to the surface; or it may be collected through a hole drilled into the spring. It's fresh, carrying the ground energy. If spring water is the type that can be labeled "low mineral content" (less than 500 ppm), it's optimal for our body.
Our drinking water quality should to be as close as possible to spring water. Tap water if not polluted can be suitable for drinking.
Drinking bottled water
By far this is the most expensive of all options. You may use bottled water for drinking or making tea, but could you afford to use if for all your cooking and food preparation needs?
What exactly are consumers getting for their money? Is the bottled water industry's carefully marketed image of absolute purity and pristine sources an accurate reflection of where bottled water comes from, and is the water really so immaculately pure compared with tap water?
Government and industry estimates indicate that about 25 percent to 30 percent of the bottled water sold in the United States comes from a city's or town's tap water -- sometimes further treated, sometimes not.. read more
So, test your water source and choose the right water filter:
Home water filters offer better than bottled water quality at a fraction of the cost & far more convenience, it's the smart choice! ... Read more about the #1 rated home water filter in America...
Water Filters and Water Purifiers:
What kind of water filters or water purifiers should you use and why?
Water quality for our household needs depends on the geographical location and source. That's why different methods of water treatment can be used.
However, with so many kinds of water filters and purifiers on the market, its easy to become confused about what to buy.
In order to determine which solution is best for your needs you may want to consider the following:
Before you attempt a quick and possibly costly or ineffective remedy, take a first important step: have your water analyzed.
A water analysis will help identify bacteria, minerals, or other pollutants that are present.
Interpretation of the test results will help you determine whether the water needs to be treated and, if so, the type of treatment needed.
The intended use of the water (whether for drinking, laundry, or all household uses) will also help determine the extent of treatment required.
Keep in mind that no single water treatment device treats all problems, and that all devices have limitations.
Do not assume that installation of water treatment equipment similar to that of your neighbors will be the answer to improving your household water quality.
Different water supply sources, amounts and types of household uses, and many other variables affect the selection of the proper water treatment system.
Water filters vs. Water Purifiers
To make it easier for you I made a list with the most common water treatment systems for the household use, along with their pros and cons, and some new ideas:

Disinfection Methods
Ultraviolet Disinfection
Disinfection by ozonation or ultraviolet light methods are replacing chlorination in some water treatment plants, and are becoming more popular for home use. UV water purification system destroys bacteria, germs and inactivates viruses.
** Because these systems cannot remove chemical pollutants or sediments, they are often part of whole-house systems that include filtration. Read more about UV water purifiers
Chlorination:
Both municipal systems and households can disinfect water by adding chlorine. Household systems commonly use liquid chlorine bleach injected into the water by one of several types of pumps.
Chlorination does not remove nitrate or other chemicals, but may oxidize organics and some minerals such as iron. Chlorine metering pumps must be calibrated and maintained carefully.
** Using a carbon filter after chlorination will remove any excess chlorine and chlorine-based chemicals that may form.
Water Purification methods
Reverse Osmosis System:
These units use a special membrane that allows clean water to pass, but not certain impurities. The Centers for Disease Control consider them the most effective way to treat residential water. How does reverse osmosis work?
** However this kind of purification is more suitable for specific industries (like printing, for instance, which need completely de mineralized water), than for our drinking needs.
The human body needs a natural quality of water, as seen on thedrinking water page..
"Reverse Osmosis and Distillation were first developed over 40 years ago for the printing and photo processing industries which require mineral free water. Because of the popularity and demand for home water treatment products many companies have marketed these products as "state-of-the- art" drinking water systems, which they simply are not. Often these products are marketed by using a demonstration that measures the TDS (total dissolved solids) and implies that this measurement shows the systems effectiveness at removing contaminants. TDS meters measure the dissolved minerals in water primarily calcium and magnesium and have little or nothing to do with contaminant levels."
Distillation:
Distilled water is water, which has been heated to the boiling point so that impurities are separated from the water, which becomes vapor or steam at 212degrees Fahrenheit (100C.). Steam is then cooled and condensed back into pure liquid form. The impurities remain as residue in the steam kettle (to be periodically removed).
The distillation system removes waterborne biological contaminants such as bacteria, parasites and viruses, organic and inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, volatile gasses, cysts, and other contaminants - removes everything from the water.
** This kind of water is recommended for special medical treatments and not for every day drinking
" There are several very credible research reports and books that stress the more recent opinion that long term consumption of de-mineralized water can in fact be dangerous. Dr. Zolton Rona‚ author of The Joy of Health states that "the longer one consumes distilled water the more likely the development of mineral deficiencies and an acid state." Dr. Paavo Airola cancer expert and author of "How to Get Well" and "Cancer... Causes Prevention and Healing" also reports "long term consumption of distilled water eventually results in multiple mineral deficiencies. "
Water Filters
Carbon Water Filters:
Activated carbon (AC) filtration is most effective in removing organic contaminants, which are often responsible for taste, odor, and color problems of the water.
Found in many faucet filters and water pitchers, (AC) filters also reduce chlorine and pesticides.
AC filtration is recognized by the Water Quality Association as an acceptable method to maintain certain drinking water contaminants within the limits of the EPA National Drinking Water Standards. Read more about AC filtration.. .
"Carbon filter devices are available in several sizes and designs. Small units fit on kitchen taps and treat only 100 to 300 gallons effectively before a filter change is necessary.
Large under-sink units, often called in-line filters, are designed to treat up to 1500 gallons. On such a unit the canister is connected to the cold water line.
Other styles are available that treat all household water. An extra filter cartridge or canister is often included with the initial purchase.
Check on availability of filters and cost of replacement filters at time of purchase; they may be available from the same dealer, at plumbing supply stores, or by mail order.
Design greatly influences efficiency.
Variations include use of powdered carbon or blocks of carbon instead of granular carbon. Those filters containing more carbon will usually treat more water before replacement is necessary." source: National AG. Safety Database NASD
Mechanical filters are frequently combined with activated carbon filters. Small mechanical filters, using spun cellulose, attach to a tap or can be installed under a sink. Filters to treat all the water supplied to the house may use sand or gravel.
A high quality water filtration is a priceless investment in family health and wellness.
Do we need a bath and shower water filter?
It is very important to be aware of the quality of water you bath in
When heated, chlorinated water releases toxins that irritate eyes, nasal tissue and skin. High-Output Shower Filters remove over 99% of chlorine and reduce levels of hydrogen sulfide, iron oxide, lead and odors. You'll also notice that your skin and hair will feel remarkably softer!
A whole house water filter, shower filter, bath water filter, or just a combo pack can be used... Check about the #1 rated home water filter in America
Swimming pool water treatment:
The principle of treating swimming pool water is similar to that of town water supplies.
However, town water has only to be treated once, while swimming pool water requires more exacting treatment because it is continually going through a cycle of purification and re-pollution at various levels due to the number of bathers in the water. Read more...
Unfortunately, the chloroform, which is the most common chloramines used in swimming pools, is a potential carcinogen, when absorbed by the skin, by swallowing or by inhalation.
Drink, shower, bath... LIVE in pure, healthy water! Home water filters offer better than bottled water quality at a fraction of the cost & far more convenience, it's the smart choice!

Minyak angin?

Dear all,
I just got back from Lam Wah Ee after visiting Basri?s 5th child, Tarmizi who is just 3 years old.
His condition has stabilised but he is still very much unconcious.
He has wires and tubes all over his little body which was also jittering spasmodically.
I was informed by the experts that they found traces of' OIL' in his urine & blood after performing various diagnostic measures.
This OIL has damaged his internal organs such as the Liver (causing it to enlarge and caused breathing difficulty), entered into his cerebral structure and possibly damaging his kidney too, etc.
What I would like to share with you is the reason WHY???
What was the CAUSE???
All this happened when he was having high fever and his' orang tua' rubbed a lot of' minyak angin' on his stomach to prevent him from' kena angin' .
I believe a lot of us have the tradisional understanding of doing so, including myself.
Well, you better STOP !!!
 The experts explained that this ?
minyakangin?
will be easily absorbed into our blood especially in children as their skins are tender and allows maximum penetration.
Certain OILs contained harmful ingredients eg: methil silicilate and at high dosage, is a POISON to children and especially feotus.
The effect is worsen when we are sick and our liver has to work overtime to neutralise the toxins. The OIL may enter our blood when our liver fails to filter it. That?s when the problems start !!!
It may not be sufficient to kill an adult but for children, the result could be fatal.
This is NOT a joke !!! You may not believe this entirely but if you do, it is good to share with your relatives and friends.

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.

STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters.... S.T.R.
If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks.
Seriously..
Please read:
STROKE IDENTIFICATION:
During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) .
She said she had just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes..
They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food.
While she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening
Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00 pm Ingrid passed away.)
She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ.
Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today.
Some don't die. they end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead.
It only takes a minute to read this...
A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke... totally .
He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.
RECOGNIZING A STROKE
Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn!
Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify.
Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster.
The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:
S * Ask the individual to SMILE.
T * Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)
R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.
If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.
Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue
NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue..
If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other , that is also an indication of a stroke..
A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this message, sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved.

Natural Remedies from Malaysia - Tongkat Ali

Tongkat Ali is now made available using the latest scientific techniques and the highest quality controlled methods of extraction. The best quality is from a product with 100% pure Tongkat Ali water soluble extract, scientifically processed and encapsulated.
Tongkat Ali water-soluble extract is superior in efficacy and quality. The dosage is standardized and the formulation is based on pharmacokinetic studies and observations, to ensure its effectiveness, safety and efficacy. Scientists and researchers have shown that the water-soluble extract is very safe and non-toxic, even at relatively high dosage.
In Vitro studies with Tongkat Ali showed a 440% increase in testosterone. In human studies, analysis of the DHEA showed gradual increase in the level from 26% after 1 week to 47% in 3 weeks. SHBG analysis showed decrease in level from 36% after 1 week to 66% after 3 weeks. Consequently, when the SHBG level declines, the Free Testosterone Index goes up in most subjects. This increase in Free Testosterone indicates that it has a bio-stimulatory effect on steroidogensis, meaning that Long jack has the ability to enhance testosterone biosynthesis. Studies done by the department of Pharmacognosy, Tokyo College of Pharmacy & the Faculty of Medicine, Tokyo University, Japan, found anti-cancer properties by isolating anti-leukemia activities of compounds from the plant.

Most, if not all, Tongkat Ali products available in the market today are pulverized (sawdust) root. Until they are scientifically analyzed in the laboratory, there is no way to verify which plant roots or plant parts are being used. Unless stringently quality controlled, even grounded root powder in capsules can deteriorate over time and are subject to attack from fungi and microorganisms, which could cause toxic and side effects over long term usage.
Tongkat Ali is proven to boost testosterone. In Vitro studies with Tongkat Ali showed a 440% increase in testosterone. Initial studies at higher doses on both hypogonadal and healthy male subjects show increased testosterone boosting ability. In 1995, it was reported that the quissinoid extract from Longjack has anti-pyretic or anti-fever effect.
Tongkat Ali incites the testes to produce more testosterone on their own by sending signal to the hypothalamus and the pituitary glands, and not by supplying exogenous testosterone. Synthetic testosterone (anabolic steroids) can supplement your body with testosterone, but steroids interfere awkwardly with male sexuality, causing penile and testicular shrinkage.Animal studies have shown that Longjack has the ability to enhance the production of ATP through oxidative phosphorylation. For this reason, Longjack can be consumed to boost the energy level.

A needle can save a life of a stroke patient

A NEEDLE CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF A STROKE PATIENT -
From Prof Irene Liu, a Chinese Professor.
Keep a syringe or needle in your home to do this...
It's amazing and an unconventional way of recovering from stroke, read it through it can help somebody one day.
This is amazing. Please keep this very handy. Excellent tips.
Do take a minute to read this. You'll never know, ones life may depend on you.
My father was paralysed and later died from the result of a stroke. I wish I knew about this first aid before..
When stroke strikes, the capillaries in the brain will gradually burst. (Irene Liu)
When a stroke occurs, stay calm.
No matter where the victim is, do not move him/her. Because, if moved, the capillaries will burst.
Help the victim to sit up where he/she is to prevent him/her from falling over again and then the blood letting can begin.
If you have in your home an injection syringe that would be the best.
Otherwise, a sewing needle or a straight pin will do.
1. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize it and then use it to prick the tip of all ......10 fingers.
2. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about an mm from the fingernail.
3. Prick till blood comes out.
4. If blood does not start to drip, then squeeze with your fingers.
5. When all 10 digits are bleeding, wait a few minutes then the victim will regain consciousness.
6. If the victim's mouth is crooked, then pull on his ears until they are red.
7. Then prick each earlobe twice until two drops of blood comes from each earlobe.
After a few minutes the victim should regain consciousness.
Wait till the victim regains his normal state without any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital.
Otherwise, if he was taken in the ambulance in a hurry to the hospital, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries in his brain to burst.
If he could save his life, barely managing to walk, then it is by the grace of his ancestors.
'I learned about letting blood to save life from Chinese traditional doctor, Ha Bu Ting, who lives in Sun Juke.
Furthermore, I had practical experience with it. Therefore, I can say this method is 100% effective.
In 1979, I was teaching in Fung Gaap College in Tai Chung.
One afternoon, I was teaching a class when another teacher came running to my classroom and said in panting,
'Ms Liu, come quick, our supervisor has had a stroke!'. I immediately went to the 3rd floor.
When I saw our supervisor, Mr. Chen Fu Tien, his colour was off, his speech was slurred, his mouth was crooked - all the symptoms of a stroke.
I immediately asked one of the practicum students to go to the pharmacy outside the school to buy a syringe, which I used to prick Mr. Chen's 10 fingers tips.
When all 10 fingers were bleeding (each with a pea-sized drop of blood), after a few minutes, Mr. Chen's > face regained its colour and his eyes' spirit returned, too.
But his mouth was still crooked. So I pulled on his ears to fill them with blood. When his ears became red,
I pricked his right earlobe twice to let out two drops of blood. When both earlobes had two drops of blood each, a miracle happened. Within 3-5 minutes the shape of his mouth returned to normal and his speech became clear.
We let him rest for a while and have a cup of hot tea, then we helped him go down the stairs, drove him to Wei Wah Hospital . He rested one night and was released the next day to return to school to teach. Everything worked normally. There were no ill after effects.
On the other hand, the usual stroke victim usually suffers Irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way to the hospital.
As a result, these victims never recover.'
Therefore, stroke is the second cause of death. The lucky ones will stay alive but can remain paralysed for life.
It is such a horrible thing to happen in one's life.
If we can all remember this blood letting method and start the life saving process immediately, in a short time, the victim > will be revived and regain 100% normality..
YOU NEVER KNOW YOU COULD BE INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING SAVE A LIFE FROM STROKE

Types of Migraine Medication

5-HTP may be helpful - 5-htp converts into serotonin which influences migraine headache occurrence or severity.
Feverfew may help a small percentage of users. 1 capsule 3-4 x/day for one month, then decrease dosage to 25 mg of dried herb twice daily.
Petasites also known as butterbur. A product with a standardized extract of butter is called Petadolex and is available for sale.
Magnesium can sometimes reduces migraine severity when used for prevention
Melatonin is a pineal hormone that may reduce migraine headaches when used in the evenings.
Pine bark extract, vitamin C and vitamin E combination may be helpful. Eleven men and women with a long history of migraine who did not respond to several type of drugs, including beta-blockers, antidepressants and anticonvulsants, had fewer and less severe headaches, on average, after taking capsules containing an extract of pine bark, vitamin C and vitamin E every day for three months. In one study, doctors treated 12 patients to 10 capsules containing 120 mg pine bark extract, 60 mg vitamin C and 30 IU vitamin E every day for three months. The patients reported an average of 44 days of headache within a 90 day period before treatment, compared to 26 days during the three-month treatment. Before treatment, participants rated their headache severity, on average, as 7.5 out of 10; this fell to 5.5 out of 10 after treatment. Two patients showed no reduction in disability, headache severity or headache days after treatment. Headache, May 2006
