Guys, do you still remember the Chernobyl radiation event that happened in 1986? The Chernobyl disaster was the most horrible nuclear reactor accident in human history. In this incident, 56 people who worked in the nuclear factory died immediately, while more than 600,000 people who live nearby Chernobyl suffered from the radiation exposure.

According to the record, more than 100,000 people who getting the radiation exposure were badly suffered with fatal cancers!

In order to avoid the above incidents from happening, the researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have discovered a new compound called the "EUK-400 series”.


This EUK-400 series can be used to prevent radiation-induced injuries, including to lung, skin, kidney and brains.

The researchers are on the final stage, which they’re developing a more powerful BUSM pills that can be used to prevent ourselves from becoming the radiological terrorism victims!

The Magnificent Cancer-fighting Herbs

November 13th 2011 03:03
Our mother nature is a miracle wonderland, as it grows many useful types of plants and herbs during the hot summer!

Although we’re normally consuming different kind of herbs in our daily life, but we didn’t know that most of the garden herbs have a very high nutrition, especially they’re the good resource to fight against the happening of cancer.

Have a closer look on these ordinary garden herbs, as they’re simply marvelous!




Parsley – It contains apigenine, which is the natural resource to prevent angiogenesis (The growth of blood vessels that supply cancerous tumors). The apigenine inside parsley are able to cut off the blood supply to a tumor. It claimed to have the same function as cancer prescription drug, Avastin!



Rosemary – It riches with terpenes, one of the main substances to stop the cancer cells in tumor from continuously reproduce. The researchers also discovered that the terpene could inhibit the growth rate of cancerous cell.



Thyme – The oncologist has used it as the anti-cancer prescription, as it contains with thymol, which is have the similar function as terpenes did.
Furthermore, it’s also a very ideal antiseptic, antibacterial and even a great mouthwash too!

Mint – There’s a phytochemical substance in mint, where is effective to cut off the blood supply to cancer tumors.

Dill – A substance named, “Monoterpenes” can be found in dill. It’s a very strong natural substance, which is having the ability to protect the user from various types of cancers.

So, next time when you’re cooking spaghetti, remember to put this garden herb into it. Remember, “Have the garden herbs everyday can keeps the cancer away”!

Many nutritionists and therapists have been recommended us to take at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day! However, some people thought it’s easier said than done, as up to 80 percent of the people normally take two to three portions a day, which is only a half of the minimal recommendation!

Did you know that fruits and vegetables are the main sources of vitamins and minerals? Those people who eat a lot of fruit and vegetables daily, is definitely have a lower risk of getting chronic diseases, such as the Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and various types of cancers!


Basically, you can gain the benefits of fruits and vegetables, regardless of the forms of preparation!

By the way, have a look on the following list. Here’s a simple menu, and hope it might give you some idea on how to prepare your “Five a Day” portions.

1. A glass of fresh orange juice or watermelon juice
2. A plate of low calories salad as lunch
3. A plate of broccoli and beans
4. Raw strawberries as dessert
5. A small pack of dried apricots/persimmon for teatime

You can modify the above menu and turns it with your favorite fruits/vegetables.

People have many desires and if they’re giving the chance, they want to have the whole world (Which is impossible to do it for an ordinary person).

Some people always dreaming of having a longer lifespan. In order to make it comes true, they’ve trying different methods and wasted over thousands of dollars, but mostly getting nothing as a return!

A group of research team leads by Abbe de Vallejo, Ph.D., associate professor of pediatrics and immunology, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, had discovered that the thymus, which is the main organ that produces T cells to fight against disease and infection, seems to degenerate with age!

Vallejo described if they can find the way to restore the function of the thymus in old age, then we might be able to delay or prevent the degeneration of the thymus.

The enzyme, which is given name as “Prgnancy-associated Plasma Protein A” (PAPPA) is the main reason, why we’re aging. If we’re deleting the PAPPA away, then we’ll have a longer and younger looks, as the thymus isn’t degenerate throughout the age anymore!

Isn’t it one of the most incredible discoveries that you’d ever heard?

Teen Drink Ban is enforced in Milan!

September 7th 2010 02:30
Back in awhile, a little town in Australia, Bundanoon has been voted to stop selling bottled water in town. Once the final decision has been confirmed, this small town immediately becomes the global spotlight!

Now, another city in Italy, Milan has followed Bundanoon’s step, but they’re not banning the water bottled water, but rather the underage teen from purchasing or drinking alcohol.

For your information, Milan is the first city in Italy, which is enforcing this rule on the teenagers, due to the increasing of underage involved in the criminal!



It’s hard to believe that one-third of 11-year-old children in Milan have a very serious bad altitude, such as public vandalism, drug abuse or robbery. The main cause is highly related with alcohol abuse problem!

If an underage teenager is caught for drinking alcohol in public, then their parent will be charged to heavy fines, which can be up to 500 Euros!

The mission of Milan is to create a city that free from alcohol abuse, especially for those who is underage. It’s definitely a beginning step to the big dream…

Gardening is a very interesting and elegant hobby, as it needs a lot of patient.

Hence, for those who love gardening, they’re normally using the chemical pesticides to control the pests growing rate.

However, it’s not the most effective solution, as it bring more damage to the environment, your pets and your loved ones’ healthy condition, when they’re inhaling the pesticides!

Well, there’s always a better way to expel the pests away from your plants. Just follow the simple steps, and you’ll be able to create an organic pest remedy within minutes!

I named the pest remedy as “The Effective Garlic Oil Spray”.

Here are the ingredients:

12 cloves of garlic (All the garlic should have been well-minced)
2 teaspoons olive oil
600ml distilled water
One teaspoon liquid dish soap

The preparation:

First of all, soak all the minced garlic in olive oil for more than 36 hours.

After that, the garlic needs to be strained out. Then, add 600ml distilled water and one teaspoon liquid dish soap into it.

Lastly, you should make sure that you’ve mixed it thoroughly.

Voila, looks what you’ve done? You’ve created your very own organic pest remedy! Now, it’s time to spray it on the garden…

Hi everyone!

I have been working a lot and travelling a lot recently, until I hardly have any time to post anything interesting / informative until now.

Recently I took a trip to Chiang Mai with my colleagues for a short break after extreme long hours of work on projects. And one of the destinations our friendly and helpful tour guide from No.1 Chiang Mai Tours took us was - a honey production factory, the Thepprasit Honey. Which harvests honey from the highlands of Thailand.

There I have learned some nifty interesting quick ways to detect a pure honey, but seemed that a website that speaks a lot about honey said that it isn't a 100% accuracy to test that outside the lab, so I'll push aside talking about pure honey and take your attention to:

(before I do so, I've learned that to reduce sourness of honey in your drink, ONLY USE plastic spoons)

The Bee Pollen
bee pollen


If you have a real bee pollen with you and if you look closely enough, you can actually see tiny bee footprints on it, which makes it more interesting for me to find out more about this, besides listening to the explanation of the sales personnel.

According to benefits-of-honey.com, the bee pollen is actually packed full of nutrients, from rich protein, amino acids to B Complex. And the best part is that besides lowering cholesterol, increasing immune system, it helps to loose weight! That's pretty much "honey" to every girl's ear.
(hahaha... I think I really need that after dining at McDonalds throughout the World Cup season to watch HD screen football)

And according to the owner of bee-pollen-buzz.com owner, Angela, the benefits of consuming bee pollen daily does help strengthen individual's stamina, because of its highly packed nutrients.

(Please click on the link to read the details of the benefits of bee pollen from Angela's interview as I do not want to repost it here.)

However, good stuffs doesn't come cheap. If you think you might want to give it a try, you will need to check out whether its genuine. A suggested area less polluted bee pollen are manufactured from Canada, or New Zealand. Well, now, we know it can be found from the Northern Thailand too.

Bee pollen can be consumed through mixing onto mid-warm drinks (around 60 - 70 deg C) or made a smoothie, sprinkled on cereals, and even consumed directly. (Currently I just started consuming directly during lunch whenever I feel hungry)

Angela also suggested a "Super Smoothie" recipe that I might want to try it out.
Ingredients
2 scoops high Quality vanilla Protein Powder (preferably one WITHOUT aspartame or sucralose)
1/2 banana
1/2 Cup raspberries
1-2 TBSP Bee Pollen
1 TBSP liquid honey
Instructions
Blend until liquified, but don't over blend as some of the nutrients may be damaged or lost due to the heat of the blender.

So, enjoy reading the details, and believe me, I'll let you know how I feel after finishing the 500g bee pollen in months time.

Note:
According to the sales personnel, because of its natural bitter-sweet, it is save to be consumed by diabetic patients.
If anyone has allergic background, start consuming in tiny bits (like 1/3 of teaspoon) and gradually increase its amount. If you have allergy reaction stop consuming it immediately.

Nowadays, up to 70 percent of the livestock, such as pigs, chickens, ducks, cattle and goats are feeding with animal antibiotics. The main objective of this action is to promote the animal’s growth rate!

The United States’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been urged the farms to stop practicing the antibiotic feeding method, as it’s inappropriate and unnecessary!



Go figure, when we’re consuming the livestock that have been highly injected with animal antibiotics, it won’t go away, but leaving a deep impact inside our body! That’s why, sometimes we heard that some men have a pair of man boobs, due to the consuming of chicken breasts excessively.

In addition, the animal antibiotics will slowly weakening our immune system, memory and even causing the happening of Alzheimer’s disease! Be aware of the animal antibiotics. Choose only the livestock that grow in organic farm and completely free from the animal antibiotics!

Hospital should be a place for the patients to get the acquire treatment or surgery. However, would you risk your life living on a hospital, which is constructed in the unsafe earthquake zone?

Well, this is not a rumor or comedy, as there’s a hospital has been built on the dangerous earthquake zone in Sicily Island. The hospital is located in Agrigento town, in western Sicily.

The more shocking news is the building is made with an unstable concrete, which is containing more sand than cement! Gosh, it’s totally endanger the lives of hundreds of patients who living in the hospital.

For your information, this Agrigento’s hospital has taken 20 years to build with the total cost of more than US$50 million!

Besides of the unsafe building structure, this hospital also having the trouble, where the rats had eaten most of the electric cables. As a result, there’s always some blackout happening in operation rooms!

No More Supersize Chocolate Bars!

May 29th 2010 04:03
First of all, did anyone here craving with chocolate? If you did, then the news is going to disappoint you here…

The Food Standards Agency has warned the chocolate manufacturers to cut down the size of chocolate bar and confectionery related products!

According to the standardized scale, the size of the chocolate bars should not be larger than 40 gram. Hence, most of the chocolate bars are against the rules, as they’re having a size much bigger than it!



The FSA have called the dairy and confectionary manufacturers to reduce the amount of saturated fat and added sugar in chocolate, as it’s one of the biggest reasons that contributing to obesity.

The FSA warned that they’re going to take an action to those manufacturers who didn’t obey the rules.

In addition, FSA also restricted the cans of fizzy drinks to cut off its regular 330 ml to 250 ml by 2015 as well!

It seems that FSA will have many works to follow up in the upcoming years.
