October 21st 2009 05:38
AIDS and cancers are the two biggest uncured diseases who always threatening human race in present days. However, these two diseases might become a history, as the Malaysian researchers claimed to discover the antidotes!

The anti-HIV drug is given name as “Calanolide”, is derived from the Bintangor or Calophyllum tree is under the final stages of development.

Rainforest have always being considered as the “green germ”, as many traditional medicines have been found inside the rainforests. However, the sadness thing is the Brazilian Amazon and Indonesia rainforests have been quickly wiped out more than 120,000 square miles in the past decade! If this situation continues, then our hope on finding the cure for the uncured diseases might turn into bubble!


According to Tan Sri Dr. George Chan, the Deputy Chief Minister of Sarawak, Malaysia, the Calonide A samples have been sent to the National Cancer Institute of United States for testing purpose.

By the launching of Calonide A, more HIV and cancer patients might be able to have a normal healthy life afterward…

It’s Time to Relax Our Stress Mind

October 10th 2009 04:15
We’re all living in the world that full with stress and tension every day. Honestly, stress is a ferocious monster, as they’re trying their best to crush and crumble our mind with its invisible force!

That’s why, the number of the stress/tension related mentally illness is spiking high, especially in the past few decades.

I knew that different types of people have their own unique ways to relax themselves from the stress. Some prefer the extreme outdoor activities, while other might choose to have their own personal space and time.

To me, I always think that spa is one of the best methods to relax our stress. For those who haven’t tried spa treatment before, you should give it a try. Honestly, Pirom spa is one of my favorite spa methods, as it firmly combined the natural ingredients that exfoliate the cellulite and older skin from our body. Plus, the aromatic Thanakha body scrub is helping us to refresh and rejuvenate our tension mind too!



If you’re not interested on the spa treatments, maybe the massage & reflexology is going to draw your attention. For your information, the main purpose of reflexology is not only reducing the stress/tension away, but it helps to improve your blood circulation and normalize your body’s homeostasis! Believe it or not, most of the cancer patients use the reflexology method to avoid their tumor’s situation from worsening.

Remember, stress is much like the poison in the mindset, the sooner you overcome it face to face, then the better the chance you’ve a better and healthy quality life!

October 9th 2009 16:30
Cancer is become one of the biggest threat to human race since million years ago. The truth is, cancer is not only affected our life, but it causes a serious threat to wildlife too!

I assumed you all have been witnessed the pain and suffer of the Tasmanian devils, as the contagious devil facial tumor disease will become the main cause to drive the species to extinction! This horrible tumor that formed around the Tasmanian devils’ mouth are making them suffering with a lot of pain and finally die of starvation (Poor child…)



Denise McAloose, the chief pathologist for the WCS’s global health programme said that there are many unknown numbers of wildlife species might be threatened by cancer. That’s why, they must speed up the observation and collect as many specimens as possible to help the animals free from the cancer’s suffering!

Beware of the Rare FMD Disease!

October 6th 2009 16:22
I have a three-year-old nephew, Christopher who is a very cute little boy. He’s a very active during the daytime. However, his parents need to keep their eyes on him, as he’s been diagnosed with a very strange disease named, “Fibromuscular dysplasia” (FMD).

Honestly, Christopher’s parents didn’t know about it at the very beginning, until he’d been verified by the doctor on last two weeks!

Basically, FMD is a rare disease that cause narrowing all the arteries, including the arteries in the kidneys, the carotid arteries and the abdomen’s arteries. Once a person is affecting with FMD, he/she might be having the risk of getting hypertension, strokes, heart attacks or arterial swelling. If the problem is becoming very critical, then death is awaiting the patient in the end!

According to the experts, this disease is only affected 5 out of 100 people. If a FMD patient wants to have a surgery, then the ACE inhibitors would be his/her only choice.

What’s Your Breakfast Grades?

October 4th 2009 04:20
Breakfast (Honestly, did anyone know why it’s pronounced “Breakfirst”, as it supposed to be “Breakfast”? This question has been bothering for a very long time…!) is to be known as the most important meal of the day, and everyone should take it before they’re heading to work/school!

However, many people seems to be neglected the breakfast, where they’re mostly skipped it for many reasons, such as wake up late, don’t have time, hate to eat breakfast and blah, blah, blah…

Honestly, they didn’t know the fact that those people who don’t love to have breakfast might have higher risk of getting gastrointestinal related cancers than those who practicing it everyday!

Oh, you’re deciding to eat breakfast, after reading the article? Well done, my friend. However, before you’re starting to do it, there are several things that you should know about it!

Did you know that breakfast have its label/grade like brands too? Let me show you, what is the different of grade “A” breakfast from the grade “B”, “C” and “D”!

Grade A breakfast: It must contain oatmeal, wholegrain breads, skim milk, pine nuts and orange juice.

Grade B breakfast: It mostly contain breakfast bar, breakfast shake or pancake with maple syrup!

Grade C breakfast: Sugary cereal, pastry or fast food sandwich.

Grade D breakfast: These are mostly junk or unhealthy foods, such as Pizza, McDonald, Fried Chicken, casserole and other (You named it!)

So, based on the above breakfast, what’s your breakfast mostly fallen into? Is it the healthy style, “Grade A” or the self-destruct style, “Grade D”?

You make your own decision…

The Untold Truth of Wrinkle Treatment

October 1st 2009 06:08
Last week, my eldest aunt on my father’s side was suddenly dropped us a visit in my hometown. Honestly, I was quite shocked, as I didn’t see her since… (Wait a second, let me count) twelve years ago, when my grandmother from my mother’s side had passed away. I saw she attended my grandmother’s funeral and after it, she just disappeared into the thin air…!

During the reunion, Jacqueline, my aunt told us that she was emigrated to Gothenburg, Sweden three months after attending my grandmother’s funeral. In the beginning, she just wanted to start a brand new life in a foreign country. She didn’t realize that it’s going to a very tough condition for her, as she’s been through many unpredictable obstacles in the past twelve years.

Even though my aunt is already 71-years-old, but she looks like a 50-years-old woman! I was curious about it and asked her why she looked twenty years younger than the actual ages. She smiled at me and asking me, “Willy son, would you really want to know the secret?”

“Yep, would you want to tell us the secret, Aunt Jacqueline? We’re all eager to hear it…!”

She told us there are three important things that make her looking younger than other people do.



Tips No.1
Smile – It sounded like a very easy job, but she said that most people have already forgotten how to smile, especially those that always have a lot of stresses and tension! She said our amount of smiles should be increased with our ages. This means, the older we are, the happier and less worrier we should in our life. Remember to put on a million dollars smile on our face each day!

Tips No.2
Wrinkle treatment – When we’re aging, the wrinkles are starting to appear around our faces, hands and skin. In this case, we should use the reliable wrinkle creams to wipe away the hideous dark circles and wrinkle, especially around the eyes. Well, before you’re using any kind of wrinkle cream, please ensure that you’ve made your research about it. Don’t buy the wrinkle creams only based on its appearance, but should be focused on its effectiveness and harmfulness to our health.

Tips No.3
Warm water – She told us the secret that warm water is actually the best option for our body. She said, if we drink hot water, our blood vessels are going to experience the vasodilatation process. In other hands, when we are drinking the cold water, the vasoconstriction is going to happen on our blood vessels! Hence, in order to overcome the problem, it’s better to drink only warm water, as it keeps our blood vessels in the steady condition. In this case, the aging process won’t be accelerated too fast. We’ll stay younger and healthier all the time!

Honestly, my aunt spent two nights on my hometown and she’d went back to Gothenburg on last Sunday. It’s been a pleasure to have her as a guest in our home. By the way, she knew that I’m a passionate blogger. She told me that I must write out our meeting and share the anti wrinkle cream reviews with those who interested on it.

Well, thanks again, Aunt Jacqueline. Hope you’ll take care yourself and have a nice living life at Gothenburg, Sweden!
