Ants / Diabetes / Alternative remedy

Most of us will find small ants unwelcome in our house. However, ants will help you detect an illness which we don't know we have.

Ants will find their way to sweet food and liquid. When you find that ants have gathered around the toilet bowl or on the toilet floor and if you are the only user, then you better go to see a doctor. There is a very high percentage that you are suffering from Disbetes.

However, a 5km walk daily will help diabetics to maintain a good blood sugar level with moderate consumption of all types of food.

Thank you ANTS.

Angry-sick patients

Do you understand the behaviours of seriously ill patients ?

Well, they are the angry lot, bad mouthed, scolding people and closed ones. Sometimes, they are out of their mind. Accusing someone of doing something to them which are not true or only half truth.

Why?

When too much toxins are collected in their body due to the failure or cancer of certain organs, the person becomes frustrated and angry. Different organs control different emotions.

When the patients are able to detoxify their bodies eg. kidney dialysis and clearing bowels etc, they will become calmer and relax.

Overcome Grief

Loss of a dearest one is the most painful experience in our life. There is nothing we can do about life and death. As the days go by, the sorrow will come to a low but it will not just go away. On certain occcasion, we will think of the decease while we are alone or lonely. It makes us sad that things should have done before the decease passed away but did not carried out because we did not expect this person to die. Have we done all the necessary effort to save this dear one? Is there time to save this person with the existing local medical technology? Have we done something beneficial for the person before leaving us? Did we do anything bad to this person ...

We only can pray that this person has completed their mission in this lifespan and moved on to the next life in a better environment. Good and bad memories cannot be forgotten. It always rolled back into our life like a cinema movie constantly reminding us who we really are and that life is so short. It must not be wastefully spent. If we live to an age of one hundred years old, we only lived for 36500 days. This figure is so insignificant.

Handling Alzheimer sufferers

Never try to reason with these sufferers. Their mind are basically locked in a past time zone or imaginary situation. Most of their demands are imaginary; loud, unreasonable and unreal. Their eyes droop down while looking straight at you.

If you try to explain to them about their imaginary encounters, situations or demands, it is usually a waste of time which may cause both parties into a heated exchange of words or rise in temper.

The smarter solution is to understand what they really wanted and find out their life before contracting this illness and which circumstances they are trapped in. They are able to remember the past more than the present.

Play along with their imaginary story or act to reach a smooth outcome so as  to calm them down.

When they are awoken or jolted back to present time or after a nap, they will forget what they have done, acted or said most of the time.

If they are fit to move about, get a tracking system place on them, otherwise time and effort are wasted to trace their whereabout. A GPS tracking system should be placed in their shoes, otherwise they will forget to bring along with them. A tag included their personal particular with their home address and contact number should be carried on their neck. They will forget where they stay.

Method for softening tensed muscles

Use a soft rubber mallot or strong vibrator to hammer with soft pressure for 200 to 300 times daily. Tensed and hard muscles will slowly become softer. Tensed muscles impede chi and blood circulation. Tensed neck and shoulder muscles may increase the chance of High Blood Pressure.

Depress on the tensed muscle using a rounded object, thumb or elbow for about 5 seconds each on all area regularly will also give similar result.

A Simple Story

Long ago, there was a well known flute musician who played beautiful music which could mesmerise his audience. He told a group of friends that he would track into deep jungle and play to the wild animals which he claimed would be tamed by his beautiful flute music.

One day he went into the jungle and started to play his flute. True enough, a group of wild animals, elephants; lions; tigers; cheetahs; leopards; horses; buffaloes and so on began to gather slowly around the musician. All the animals were were enjoying and praising the musician for playing such beautiful music.

Suddenly, without warning, a black panther came charging from a distance to the surprise of the other animals. It sprang on and killed the musician.

One of the animals in the group, an elephant, asked the black panther why it wanted to kill the musician who played such beautiful music. The black panther looked amusingly at the elephant in the eyes and asked,'' What ... did ...  you ...  say ?  . . . . . . .  I ... am ... deaf '' .

The purpose of telling this story was to bring a message across. Never brag too much. Don't be too complacent. There are always exception. Not every living things think or act alike.

Weather and Health

How does weather influence your health?

A person travelling from a hot climate country to a cold climate country and back will sometimes become feverish. The colder the weather, the higher the chance of  fever.

The reason being the person is heaty or hot in body nature staying in a hot climate, the skin pores are usually open allowing free circulation to balance of body heat with the climate.

When this person travels to a cold country, the skin pores become closed. Heat is trapped in the body. Discomfort may or may not be felt.

When this person returns to the hot climate country, the skin pores are still closed due to the extreme coldness and changes in the skin tissues resulted from staying in the cold climate. The body heat cannot be released from the person to allow free flow of circulation to balance the heat in the body and the climate. Fever will be the outcome.

To prevent or minimise this problem,

1. perform heat therapy ( scraping the body skin ) on the back  to release the body heat before going to a cold climate country.

2. dip in a hot pool or have a long hot shower to force open the skin pores immediately after returning.

3. drink ginger tea to warm the body and promote blood circulation and to release the cold/dampness in the body.

4. go for heat therapy again if the above counter-actions are not effective.

For fever resulted from going from a cold-hot-cold climate, heat therapy can be performed too.

How to reduce Power, Gas and Water consumption in our domestic life

Electrical Power

-----------------------

1. The main usage of electrical consumption are in the air conditioners, water boilers and electric cooking. These home appliances consume more than 1 to 3 kw/hr. There are many ways to reduce the heavy usage which in turn reduces the greenhouse effect of the earth.

a. The air conditioners can be substituted with powerful house fan which consumes less than 100W, that is less than 10 times the power usage of a normal air conditioner. Alternative, switching on only an air conditioner with the addition of fans will save more energy instead of switching numerous air conditioning units. The comfortable room temperature is around 27 degree Celsius. Any colder temperature will require blanket or sweater and frequent visit to the toilet.

b. If slow and long period of cooking is required, using charcoal will be more appropriate. It is also known that charcoal cooking produces better cooking because of even heat distribution.

c. The spotlights burn a lot of power. Change it to the energy saving lights.

d. Using Solar heater.

e. Special heat reflective paint painted on the roof top and external walls and planting grass or having a garden over the roof will reduce the heat penetrating into the house making the house cooler and thus reduce the load on air conditioning.

f. Connect a Power Saver if there are numerous lightings in the house. It can reduce the current usage which directly lowers the power consumption usage. The more the lightings, the more is the power savings. There is however not much power savings from other electrical appliances.

Gas

----------

Frying with a big fire give the food a shiny, crispy exterior and soft interior texture. The food tastes better. The nutrients will be contained under the crispy skin. The cooking time will be shorten.

Frying with small fire for long period will produce tough meat texture or soggy vegetables. The nutrients in the meat and vegetables will be destroyed by overcooking.

Pressure cookers save fuel gas. With high pressure inside the cooker, the boiling point for cooking is correspondingly lowered. Tough meat softens more quickly than in normal cooking which needs more gas. The food inside the pressure cooker will continue to boil for sometime even after removing from the fire because of the higher internal cooker pressure.

Water

-----------

Most of the shower system has a valve attachment to slow the volume of the water gushing out through the sprayer. Most of family members will simply turn the tap to maximum regardless of water wastage. Similarly add water valves to all water taps.

Place sealed bottles or containers in the sanitation flush system to reduce the volume of water needed for flushing.

Water the plants with water used for washing rice, vegetables and seafood. It is a natural fertiliser.

Collect water used for washing clothes to flush toilet.
