Health 2 Know - July 2009

Some people choose the gardening as their hobby, where they prefer spending the spare times planting vegetables, fruits or trees at the garden. Honestly, it’s a very good habit, as it might help to reduce our stresses and give off more oxygen to the surrounding areas!

Furthermore, a new study shows that some plants can increase the rate of ozone production by up to 50 times! Some of the plants, such as juniper and pine trees emit some sort of chemical compound, which is known as terpenes. When the terpenes is mixed with nitrogen oxides, they will react to produce ozone. Although ozone is the main substances that forming the ozone layer, but it could be poisonous, if a person inhale too much of ozone into the body, and may cause cancer as well!




By the way, some of the beautiful flower, such as the Desert Rose (Adenium sp.) is a very gorgeous and exquisite houseplant. However, it is a also a very toxic plant, where the Akie tribe in Tanzania use the toxic sap to coat arrow-tips for hunting purpose! Hence, it’s better not to smell the flowers, or it might lead to the happening of brain tumor and other types of cancers.

If you really want to plant something in your backyard garden, bamboo is considering the best plant of all, as it requires low water use and low terpene emissions!

Beautiful Article: I Believe...

July 27th 2009 01:20
I do not know where this article originates from, but it is definitely a wonderful article to be read at the early morning of Monday, reminding ourselves that there are things that can be done, that can be overcome, that can be change, as long as we Believe...

I hope you will enjoy reading this and be enlighten as much as me.


A Birth Certificate shows that we were born
A Death Certificate shows that we died
And... Pictures show that we lived!
Have a seat .. . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.



I Believe...

That just because two people argue,

It doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
It doesn't mean they do love each other.


I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if
We understand that friends change.


I Believe....
That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every once in a while
and you must forgive them for that.


I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.

Same goes for true love


I Believe....
That you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life..


I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.


I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with
Loving words
It may be the last time you see them..


I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.


I Believe...
That we are responsible for what
We do, no matter how we feel.


I Believe....
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences.


I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score.


I Believe...
That my best friend and I,
can do anything,
or nothing and have the best time.


I Believe...
That sometimes the people you expect to kick you
When you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up.


I Believe...
That sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.


I Believe...
That maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
And what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthdays you've celebrated.


I Believe...
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.

Sometimes,
you have to learn to forgive yourself.


I Believe...
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief.


I Believe...
That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
But, we are responsible for who we become.


I Believe...
That you shouldn't be so eager to find
Out a secret.
It could change your life Forever.


I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different.


I Believe...
That your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.


I Believe....
That even when you think you have no more to give,
when A friend cries out to you -
you will find the strength to help.


I Believe...
That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being.

I Believe...
That the people you care about most in life
are taken from you
too soon.


I Believe...
That you should send this to all of the people that you believe in,
I just did.


The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything.


Thank you God for all the wonderful people who help us throughout the journey of life...

May Angels guard you and guide you
Everyday

Doctors or physicians have told us that we must intake multiple types of vitamins and mineral resources everyday!

Based on the latest health survey, there is less than 25 percent of the United States’ citizens who taking the vitamins as recommended by the USDA! The even shocking news was there is more than 80 percent of elder citizens are at least lack with one or more vitamin!

Did you know that when you’re lacking with Vitamin D, you might have the chance of getting affected with Osteoporosis? Yep, most people thought that Osteoporosis is caused by the Calcium deficiency, but they didn’t know it has something to do with the Vitamin D deficiency as well!



Normally, Vitamin D can be produced naturally in the body through the exposing under sunlight. Or, you can get it from the dietary sources, such as eggs, fortified milk or cod liver oil.

The lacking of Vitamin D can weaken the bones, and leading to fractures. This problem is mostly happened in post-menopausal women. Hence, doctors are usually recommended women to consume Vitamin D tablets regularly to avoid the Vitamin D deficiency problem!

The world is full with many mystical and spiritual things, where most of them cannot be explainable with words!

Talking about the mystical, I remembered when I was younger; my grandfather was a very nice and kind-hearted person. Beside that, he also have a very special gift too, which he has been claimed to have the ability to cure the people.

Honestly, I always seen there’s a bunch of people sitting surrounded him in the center of the house. Meantime, he started to read some kind of chants (Honestly, I have no idea what’s the meaning of the chants, but it’s the effect of soothing our nerves and tension).

The person that have the wound (I though it must be the internal trauma, as I cannot see any fresh wound on their body at all) will talk to my grandfather. After that, the wound healing spiritual is starting… Honestly, if you’re at the location, you’ll feel that there’s a magnetic field of calm and peaceful energy flowing all over the place.

I discovered it’s a very interesting thing and I always sat besides my grandfather when he’s doing this ceremony.

Frankly, I nearly forgot about it, but I recalled my memory back, soon after I watched this amazing video clip.



Now, I knew that my grandfather is an amazing “Wounded Healer”. I’m very proud of you, Poppy (My grandfather’s nickname).

Swine Flu

July 24th 2009 06:16
Swine flu is the newest strain of influenza A virus also known as H1N1 virus. More than 70 countries are now reporting cases of human infection with swine flu. The World Health Organization has raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 6, which is quite an alarming fact. People who work closely with pigs are at an increased risk of catching swine flu.

Swine flu symptoms in humans are similar to those of influenza. The most common symptoms of swine flu in humans are chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pain, headache, coughing, tiredness and feeling of sickness.

Various swine flu treatment options
Prevention is the best treatment to avoid swine flu. So wash your hands with disinfectant regularly and avoid contact with people suffering from swine flu or who work closely with pigs. If however, you catch the virus or are exposed to a person who has caught the virus, anti-viral drugs can help you out.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with swine influenza viruses.

Zanamivir and oseltamivir are both known as neuraminidase inhibitors. They both help prevent influenza A and influenza B viruses from growing in the body by inhibiting the production and release of virus from cells. This slows the spread of the infection in the respiratory organs such as airways and lungs.

Tamiflu comes in a pill form and is to be taken orally for 5 days. Zanamivir is inhaled through a device called a Diskhaler. This inhaler device delivers the medicine to the lungs, where the swine flu virus multiplies. This method of taking Relenza zanavir is very inconvenient and immeasurable; therefore, most people prefer to buy Tamiflu.

A placebo-controlled study of oseltamivir showed that if Tamiflu was taken within 36 hours of witnessing first flu symptoms, it reduced the length of illness by 30%, the severity by 40%, and the time to resume normal activities by 2 or 3 days.

If you think you have the swine flu or it has been spreading in your country/community, consult a doctor and find out if you can take Tamiflu or not.

What is Tinnitus?

July 23rd 2009 18:08
Yesterday, I taught a lesson inside the biology class. One of my students, Calvin stood up and asked me this question, “Sir, did you know what’s Tinnitus?” At that moment, the whole class was silent for a while. At first, the students’ vision were focused on Calvin, and then they looked at me, hoping that I’ll give the answer here…

“Well, Mr. Calvin. Thanks for the question and you might sit down now. Class, I’m going to explain the definition of Tinnitus. Hope you all will take a note on it!” I said it with a louder voice.
For your information, Tinnitus is derived from the Latin word tinnitus, which is meaning, “ringing”. Beside of the ringing sound, it could be a swishing or any type of noise that seems to originate in the ear!



Did you know that nearly 500 million of people from around the globe suffer from this disorder? Normally, most of the people who suffering with Tinnitus are always hearing severe ringing sounds in their ears, from the moment they wake up and even during their sleep hours!

Sometimes, the ringing can change into hissing, buzzing or clock clicking sounds. In this case, doctor will use a noise generator inside the ear. The noise generator can emit a low-level broad band noise and help the user not to notice the ringing sound as much as possible!

Tinnitus can turn into a psychological problem, if they’re being ignored and didn’t get the treatment right on time. For those that having the Tinnitus problem, you might want to try the meditation or Yoga!

Do you know that why some of the people are vulnerable to the flu viruses, while the other seem to have immune on it? Well, it’s mainly related with our immune system.

Talking about the immune system, it’s a collection of biological processes within an organism. Its main duty is to protect against disease, by patrolling all over the body, identifying and killing pathogens or mutated cells!

When the immune system getting weaker, due to the bad habits, such as smoking, drinking alcohol, insufficient sleep hours and so on, then the pathogens will start to invade and conquer our body! When this happened, we’re mostly fall sick immediately.

It’s crucial to take a good care on our immune system. So, what we should do to maintain our immune system in the optimal level?

AIDS has been existing more than 28 years, but until now, there’s still no vaccine that can effectively curing the AIDS patients.

Frankly, I discovered that most of the people have no idea of how the AIDS being transmitted from the AIDS patient to another healthy person! They’re very ignorance, as they thought even by a simple handshake with the AIDS patients, they might being infected with HIV!

Come on, guys! We should try to be more mature in this case. Honestly, I’ve been volunteering myself as one of the volunteer workers at the AIDS care center when I was studying in college. In the center, I saw many AIDS patients were suffering, not for being ill, but they’re being lonely, as no family members or friends want to visit them at all!



I remembered there is a young little girl named “Rachel”. She’s an orphan and had been dumped away by his parents into the dumpsite, soon after birth! She always asked me a same question, “Uncle Wilson, why I didn’t have father and mother? I wish I can have a parent like my classmates did!” When I heard her confession, my tears fall off my face instantly…

Those children were innocent and we shouldn’t judge them based on their disease! Show your sympathy or compassion to them and let the little ones know, that there’s still many people loving them in this world…!

Human being is the most intelligent species amongst the all-living creatures. Although we’re much superior than some animals in certain aspects, but we must keep in mind that no matter how good you are, we’ll say goodbye to this world one day in the future (Just liked the King of Pop, Michael Jackson did).

Well, we cannot escape from the death, but we have the option to prolong our lifespan!
In the past few decades, many scientists have undergoing numerous experiments in the life prolonging technology. After a long winding journey, they’ve finally discovered that the “Life potion” can easily be found in one of the staple fruits: Grapes!

Honestly, the researchers always doubt that drinking the red wines will have any benefit to the users. However, they’re now confirmed the red wines are the wellspring of long life secret!



If we’re looking back on the history, we found out that grapes have been a favorite fruit for the ancient Egypt’s noble families. The royal families are those who qualified to consume grapes, while the civilians are responsible to plant the grapes (It sounds a little bit unfair, but it’s the world of reality).

Now, the scientists had proofed that the grapes are rich with resveratrol. For your information, resveratrol is a phytoalexin, which is produced naturally by several plants (Including grapes) when they’re under attack by pathogens.

After the detailed and time-consuming experiments, most researchers found out that the resveratrol is the effective compound for fighting against the following problems, such as:

1. Aging;
2. Cancer;
3. Inflammation;
4. Cardiovascular related matters;
5. Diabetes.

The more shocking thing is the amount of resveratrol contain in grapes is ten times more than of blueberries. In this case, grapes are the best antioxidant of all fruits. That’s why it classified as one of the “Superfoods”!

So, if you want to stay healthy, looking younger and have a longer lifespan, then you should consider the resveratrol supplements. Remember, you’re the one who make the choice here.

Eat healthy and living well!

If you are bored with the mayo and regular coleslaw, this salad can be quite refreshing for you.

Mango lovers (like me) would find it delightful as well, and moreover, this salad boasts beta-carotene from the mango and lutein from the spinach, which are cousins in the carotenoid family and important antioxidants. Aside from cancer prevention and survival, Lutein is recognized for its key role in eye health.

Hope you all enjoy!

Sometimes, life can be very harsh, as there are many things, which we cannot control or expect in our daily life. As a human being, isn’t this mean we should be treating equally by anyone else? Why so many people whom being treated like a trash, due to their unattractive appearance?

I’ve been a target of the nuisance sarcasm, since I was a child. I’d experienced many personal insults from the classmates and neighbors, due to the ugly appearance! I knew the pain of how we’re being treated like a freak, especially when it happened in the public places!

Talking about the humiliation, it also happened on Yvette, my former colleagues who still working in the local social worker center (Note: I thought I’ve told you before, where I’ve been a social worker for a period in the previous post). When I met her for the very first time, I sensed she’s a very lovely and gorgeous woman. She’d a fantastic personality: Loving, caring and tolerance. These characteristics made her the top social worker in the center. Plus, she’s a very friendly person with humble attitude, many colleagues and clients love to be friend with her!

Things seem to be perfect, until after she’s get birth with a lovely baby boy on January 15th, 2009! During the postnatal period, her silky brown hair is starting to fall off. She thought it’s a normal condition, as some of her friends having this problem before. However, the hair fall problem is getting serious, as it fall more than fifty hairs everyday! After only two months, she’s nearly becoming half bald.

She was terrified and don’t know how to deal with it. She realized that people starting to talk on her postnatal baldness. Some of them even teasing on her and called her, “The baldness vulture”! Gosh, she’d the feeling, where she’s falling from the heaven into the hell, after hearing these words.

Since then, she’s starting to absence her work and didn’t want to go outside. Her husband, Nathan was worried about her health condition, as he assumed, if the condition keep going on, Yvette might be getting the Postnatal Depression (PND).

Hence, Nathan had dropped me a call on April 16th, 2009. He asked me, if I have any solution for Yvette. I said I would drop them a visit on the weekend to find out more about Yvette’s situation.

When I arrived at Yvette’s home, she didn’t come out to welcome me at all. Nathan said that Yvette had lost her confidence, due to the ugly baldness. I walked into the home and across the master bedroom; I saw Yvette is hidden in the corner of the bedroom! She’s covered her head with a white head kerchief. Honestly, she’s looked pale and sorrow, when I saw her.

I was flabbergasted for a second, as I didn’t expect that the baldness can turn into a disastrous problem. I went to Yvette and persuade her that I’m Wilson, her former colleague who had been a very close friend. I persuaded her to tell me the whole story.

She’s terribly upset with her current condition and depressed on everything she done in her daily life. I knew something is wrong with her, and I need to figure out the solution as soon as possible.

Hence, I told her that there’s a fast and permanent solution for her baldness, which is known as “hair transplant” method. She asked me, what the main purpose of hair transplant, as she never heard about it in her life!

Well, I explained to her slowly and clearly, that hair transplant is a safe surgical technique. It involves the moving skin process, which is containing hair follicles from one part of the body to balding parts.

She seems to be interested on my suggestion and decide to accept the challenge. I recommended her a famous hair transplant doctor, as it’s very important to have the experienced and professional doctor to handle this critical case.

After three days, she’s making an appointment with the doctor and undergone a hair transplant surgery after two weeks.

Yesterday, I received a phone call. Guess what, I heard the first word, “Thank you”, when I picked up the phone. It’s a call from Yvette and she told me that she’d already recovered from the baldness trauma, and ready to face the daily tasks as usual.

Most of the people who having the arthritis always complaint that the pain they’re suffering would leave a negative impacts on their daily life!

In order to overcome the pain, some arthritis patients chose to undergo knee replacement surgery. However, there is still a downfall with the knee replacement surgery, as it doesn’t last a lifetime!

Well, thanks to the advent medical technology. Now, a new method named, “The Signature System” has been introduced to the arthritis patients. The old traditional surgery is a little bit more invasive, as it required the surgeon to drill a hole on the patient’s femur!

Unlike the old-fashioned surgery, the signature system doesn’t need to drill any hole on patient’s femur, but it aligns the patient’s knee with a rod.

The Signature System has been available on the medical treatment field for over six months. So far, it receives many positive feedbacks.

The question is, “Would you dare to try it, if you’re given the chance to do so?” Well, it’s totally up to you…

Some people enjoy the summer time, where they love to spend the whole day long doing the sunbath under sizzling hot sunlight!

For other that don’t have time, they might prefer visiting the tanning booths. There are up to 40 percent of the teenagers; mostly are teenage girl loves to tanning themselves in the tanning booths. Surprisingly, some of them will head to the tanning booths center like 10 to 15 times annually!

Honestly, tanning is good for our skin, as it get a lot of Vitamin D during the tanning process. Unfortunately, some people might be overexcited with tanning or get berserk with it. They’re visiting the tanning booth at least twice per month or more! In this case, they’re having the possibility of getting melanoma (Skin cancer) for overexposed under the human artificial sunlight.

Dr. Ariel Ostad, an experienced Surgical Dermatologist said tanning booths are several times dangerous than the sunlight, as the light bulbs that being used inside the tanning booths are mostly containing carcinogen! That’s why, when someone overexposed with the carcinogen, he/she might get the risk of having skin cancer.

Therefore, you shouldn’t get addicted with the tanning booth. After all, it’s better to choose the natural sunbath than tanning booth!

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.
