Gene Might Be the Crucial Factor Inhibits the Happening of Cancer!

July 1st 2009 17:42
Life is supposed to be blessed with health, as the life without a healthy body is torturing, no matter you have unlimited wealth or fortune pilling up in the banks!

The good news is the scientists from the University of Manchester claimed that they have found a new way of killing tumors. They identified a key gene, which is appearing to play an important role in the normal process of cell division in human’s body.

The main reason why cancer can be spreading out like bushfire, as it divides in an uncontrolled way as any other body’s cells did!

In this case, the Manchester team has discovered a protein in our cells named, “Bub 1” (Not Bug 1! lol). The Bub 1 is playing the role for normal cell division to take place. Once the gene that generates Bub 1 is out of control, then the cells are unable to divide accordingly!


They said that Bub 1 is a very specific type of enzyme, where is controlling the several processes during the cell division. By switching off the Bub 1, it means to stop the cancer cells from spreading and growing in the patient’s body as well!

Hopefully, the research team might be able to come out with some breakthrough with the Bub 1 in the near future.

My Mother’s Vericose Veins Story

June 30th 2009 05:38
Each person has his/her own untold story…

It’s been three years, since I worked as a high school counselor. Honestly, I must say that parents are over pampering their children, until some of them having “The Pampered Child Syndrome”! When this happened, it not only won’t help the children to live independently by themselves, but it put the children at the risk for serious social and physiological disabilities as well.

Honestly, those children who having the pampered child syndrome won’t appreciate everything what their parents have done to them! They’re keep complaining and nagging all day long. It’s a very serious situation, where it can be fixed within days or weeks! I’ve been encountered with several teenagers who have this syndrome before, and yep, it’s even more complicated than I could ever imagined.


I discovered a similarity on those teenagers, which they’re mostly ignored to their parents advices/words. Honestly, I felt sympathy for the teenagers and their parents, as both sides are suffering, due to the syndrome!

Talking about parent, my mum and dad have been my idol, since I was six-year-old. Since I was six, my mother had quit her previous accountant job and move to the rural area with my father.

At there, my mums have helped my dad in the farm. We all know that life, as a farmer isn’t easy (Honestly, it considered as one of the hardest job in the world, which is require ninety-nine percent perspiration).

However, my mum didn’t complaint about it, instead she always smiled, when she’s working in the farm.

After a long hour of working for over thirty years, the varicose veins starting to affect her life. For those that didn’t know about varicose veins, they’re veins that have become enlarged, discolored and tortuous. Her calves are fully covered with painful and itchy varicose veins.

Every time, when I backed to my hometown, I asked if her want to have varicose veins treatment at the nearest center, she will mostly refuse my requirement. Until one day, the varicose veins have started to affect her walking ability. She has no choice, but listens to my advice and went for treatment at westchester vein center. After a few time of treatments, she’d finally released herself from the suffering of varicose veins.

Frankly, my mum has been sacrificed too much for family and me. She deserved to have a better and healthier life, especially in her golden age!

I love you, mum.

Your Brain is Protest for Not Getting Enough Sleep!

June 28th 2009 03:37
People in nowadays have different types of problem and insufficiency. However, one and probably the most common problems is the lack of sleep hours!

According to the surveys, there is nearly 45 percent of American that has less than 6 hours of sleep every day, while there is less than 25 percent of American that sleep at least 8 hours per day!

Due to this phenomenon, the sleep deprivation is spreading its invention and causing many sleep disorder problems.



Many people seem to neglect the important of sleep, as they think it won’t be a matter, if they have less sleep hours and more working hours. The truth is the lack of sleep hours can cause many unexpected troubles, which are:

• Memory loss,
• Drowsiness,
• Weaker concentration,
• Blurry vision,

Don’t believe on what I’m saying here? Then, go ahead and try to staying awake for over a few days! I’m guarantee that you’ll start to have hallucinations, nausea or even panic attack.

It’s very important to have a good and quality sleep hours, remember that you’ll still need to repay the price, if you ignored the sleep hours! And, it’s even better to sleep at night, as the old saying, “Begin with the sunrise and stop with the sunset.”

Lose Your Weight and Gain Back Your Lost Confidence!

June 26th 2009 15:16
The obesity problem has been a global problem. Honestly, it only turns into a serious matter in the last two decades, where the people who living in highly developed countries have the higher rate of having obesity problem than those from least developing countries!

Based on the latest studies, there are over 65 percent of U.S. adults have trouble with obesity, while nearly 62 percent of U.K. citizens are battling against it.

Well, I knew that appearance doesn’t mean the whole thing to us, but sometimes, it could be very painful and torturing, especially you’re being teased by other people without showing any sympathy/mercy.

My friend, Katherine is one of those who being struggled by the obesity. I remembered when she was studying in college; she’d been elected as the college ‘Prom Queen’, due to her outstanding slim body! To be honest, she was proud of her body and will do anything to keep it in shape.

However, after a several times of broke up with her boyfriends, she started to stuff herself with foods day after day. When she graduated from college, she’s already a woman with plump and flabby body size!

She told me, in the past few years, she was very pathetic and misery about everything in her life. She was too upset with herself, until she nearly done something stupid, by ending up her precious life!

However, it seems that her lucky charm has arrived, when she was able to lose her fat away, since nine months ago. She said it wasn’t really hard to do it, as you just pop the acai berry pills daily. Drink more water afterward and workout regularly.

In addition, she also informed me that there is a new exciting diet pill called, “alli”. This pill is good for those who with BMI of 28 or over. It claimed to help the users lose 50 percent of the weight in six months!

Well, Katherine. I’m glad that you’ve gained back your lost confidence, is time to use your weapon (beauty) and conquer your loved ones. Live up your life and be happy everyday!

June 26th 2009 01:06
Everyone has own favorite. Some of us love something hot and spicy, while the others might enjoy those foods with rather plain favor.

No matter what types of people you are, most of you might have tried the mustard before.

Mustard are several plant species in the genera Brassica and Sinapis, where the small mustard seeds are used as a spice and turned into condiment that we all familiar with: Mustard!



Do you know that mustard can help to stimulate the appetite by increasing one person’s salivation by up to eight times? Furthermore, it also has digestive, laxative, antiseptic, and circulative stimulant properties as well!

And, mustard effective in neutralizing toxins and helps ward off an upset stomach. Mustard contains sulphur, where it has been used as a treatment for skin related diseases as well!

However, the only one thing we should aware here is mustard greens are not good, especially for those with thyroid. The mustard green has the ability to increase the size of thyroid!

You Should Know These Useful Healthy Tips

June 25th 2009 04:56
People in present days are always complaint of having too little time, as they’ve devoted most of the time into the job/work. Plus, with the heavily polluted environment that full with contaminated substances, we’re having higher risk to be infected by numerous types of diseases/illnesses.

Due to the insufficiency and lacking of multivitamins, it’s very easy for us to fall sick. However, did you know that there are several symptoms might appear, before you’re getting sick? Well, you should pay attention, when you’re having:

• Headaches,
• Dizziness,
• Joint aches,
• Fatigue, or
• Sleepiness.

In this period, you might want to take a day off, take a good rest, by simply relaxing your mind or body. Well, I knew it’s easier said than done, as many people didn’t have enough time, even for having meals!

However, when you take a minute and think about it, “Would I still able to work like this way, if I suddenly fall ill, such as having the cancer?” I didn’t mean to curse you here, but did you know that in Japan or worldwide, the people who died because of Karoshi (It means ‘overlyworked’) have been skyrocketing since the past few years?

By the way, when we’re overstressed, you’re likely to get the constipation! I got several ways to help you overcome the matter.

1. You must drink at least a glass of fresh tomatoes juice daily.
2. A glass of warm water after you’ve woke up is good for overcoming the constipation.
3. Eat an orange an hour before you’re going to sleep!

If you’re practicing the above tips for health, then the nasty and irritating constipation problem will be gone in several days.

For those who love to consume high fructose corn syrup, you need to beware of it, as my friend, Ronald, a nutritionist in one food producing company, had told me that high fructose corn syrup is known as the main cause of leading to many diseases, such as diabetes, heart burn, heart related diseases and cancers!

Therefore, please take note about it and mind about the diet information, before you’re become the victim of this invisible killer.

Have a healthy lifestyle and keep smiling…

The Miracle Parts of Acupuncture

June 22nd 2009 14:33
Today, I’m feeling very upset, as my neighbor, Margaret had suddenly got the stroke attack in her home’s kitchen in this early morning (Gosh, I’m in huge shock when I knew it). Luckily, her daughter is watering plants in the backyard garden. She drove her mother straight to the nearest hospital!

After an hour of rescuing, the doctor managed to save Margaret life, but after the unpredictable attack, she is not able to walk as usual, as her legs became a little bit paralyze!

During the lunch hour, I rushed to hospital and dropped Margaret a visit. Although she seen much better, and she’s smiling during my visiting, but I sensed something wasn’t right (maybe sorrowful feeling) underneath her smile! No matter what, I must help her recover from the inability…

After I went back to my working place, I started to search on the internet. Well, it seems that the god of luck is always besides me, where I found a very effective way to treat Margaret’s paralysis.

Honestly, it’s one of the most common methods and it’s being classified in the alternative therapies field. Yep, I’m talking about the acupuncture here!



Well, I’m going to skip the introduction of acupuncture, as the main topic is how to use it to cure the stroke patient.

If someone is being attack by stroke, you must stay calm and don’t be panic. For those that living in a rural area, and you didn’t have the time to wait for the ambulance to come by, then you can use this ‘bloodletting’ method.

Actually, bloodletting is one of the ancient world’s medical techniques, where it requires one person to release certain amount of blood from a patient. It is belief that this method would cure the illnesses instantly!

By the way, here are the steps and you can try it, especially when the stroke patient is situated in a very critical position!

1. First of all, you must slowly move the patient. Make sure that he/she sitting on the chair/couch.

2. Then, find a needle (It’s better using the sewing needle, or a copper pin is also fine as well). Before it, remember to disinfect the needle, by burning the needle on fire for about 30 seconds!

3. After it, you need to use the needle and prick on the patient’s fingers. In this case, please ensure that you’re pricking on all the ten fingers!

4. Lastly, squeeze the patient’s fingers hardly until you see the blood coming out from it. After a few minutes, the patient will awake from the unconscious.

I’m feeling very sorry for Margaret, as I cannot use this method to save her, when she’s need it the most! However, I’m sure with the stroke acupuncture methods, which I learned from a very special health forum, she will recover from the paralysis very soon!

Hopefully, you all will learn this simple life rescue method, as it’s can be as useful as CPR, when you’re dealing with the stroke patients.

Note: Figure thanks to healthjockey.

Keep Your Eyes on The Nasty Swine Flu!

June 21st 2009 04:50
Human beings are considering one of the most unique living creatures, as we’re been gifted with mind, which allow us to think, act and response to others.

Some people might think they’re powerful and indestructible, but they didn’t know that with only a tiny infection from flu viruses, their life might be in risk, if they didn’t get the cure as soon as possible!

Honestly, when the swine flu virus was first detected in Mexico City on March 18, 2009, we didn’t expect that it would become so worse, only after the WHO’s Chan declared the outbreak as the worldwide pandemic and adjusted the Pandemic Alert Level to six on June 11, 2009!

My friend, Kevin had dropped me a mail on the early morning. He told me, the Swine Flu has outspreading to over 90 countries and so far, there are more than 51,000 cases have been reported and 254 deaths. Most people start to become worrisome, as the statistic keep rising day after day...

Furthermore, he said that the swine flu might infect up to half the population, if the spreading rate is keep accelerating and didn’t slow down!

Kevin was very concerned about it, hence he spent several days to collect the information about the swine flu and post it in his health blog. He said he must do something to remind the people about the dangerous of swine flu, especially in this critical time!

Honestly, the swine flu prevention is necessary, no matter where you are. Do remember, please keep yourself away from the crowd, drink plenty of water and sleep well, as these three methods are the basic and essential ways to against the infection of swine flu!

By the way, some scientists discovered that the green tea, ginger tea and lemon tea are good for preventing the flu as well. So, let’s change your daily routine a little, by including the tea drinking habits into it.

Life well, guys. I hope you all will have a nice and healthy living style.

Walnuts – The Best and Essential Food for Elders!

June 18th 2009 10:08
Well, we’ve always been advised to add certain types of foods into cooking, as it might help to prevent assorted diseases.

Today, I would like to talk about the Walnuts. For those of you that love the walnuts taste, then here’s the another solid reasons, why you must insert walnuts into the diet!

The Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists have been discovered that by adding a moderate amount of walnut into a cooking might help to improve the elders’ motor and behavioral skills.

The research group pointed out that walnuts are rich in polyphenols and other unsaturated fatty acids. These essential minerals are important to boost up the neural tissue and hence improving the performance on tasks of the aging people, especially when they require the motor and behavioral skills to do some simple tasks in their daily life.

If you do love about your parents or the elders, then you must add at least 20 grams of walnuts into the main meal everyday!

By the way, I got a recipe here and it’s called, “The Sweet Candied Walnut”. You can try it if you want to…

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup of coarse sugar,
• ½ cup of brown sugar,
• ½ cup of brown sugar,
• ¼ cup of sour cream,
• 2 cups of walnuts.

Cooking Process:

First thing first, mix all the sugar, brown sugar and sour cream into a pot. Cook it until the whole mixture becoming sticky.

Secondly, add the walnuts into the pot and stir it until all the walnuts has been coated with the mixture.

Lastly, pour the candied walnuts into a plate and put it into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Voila, you’re now have the icy cold and sweet candied walnuts!
