A sister shared this testimony.  She has an urgent dental need and she spent hours researching and calling some dentists.  She gave up and decided to make a simple prayer.  God led her to a nearby dentist who was so willing to attend to her at 8pm without appointment. She is once again persuaded that God is good all the time. He is just a prayer away.  She can depend on Him for all her needs. All praises to Him!

I am clearing my emails and found this email dated very long ago. Some advices seem good to follow. Realise that many youngsters do not sleep early and wake up early. They also do not like to take breakfast and seem like this life-style is quite damaging to their health. Thus decided to include this in my blog. However, not sure how true but it is still better to have a healthy lifestyle because many diseases are life-style related. BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS 1. No Breakfast People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration. 2. Overeating It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power. 3. Smoking It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease. 4. High Sugar consumption Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with bra...

Just learnt something from this book by Don Colbert, M.D. I think I better switch to whole wheat bread esp. after considering points 4 to 6. 1. The processing of whole grains of wheat to white flour takes approximately 20 steps. 2. During this process, both the bran and the germ have been removed, along with approximately 80% of the wheat's nutrients. 3. Refined white flour is pure endosperm or starch. The endosperm has far lower B vitamin and mineral content than the germ and bran and also significantly less fiber. 4. Furthermore the milling process involves such high temperatures that the remaining grain is damaged by oxidation. 5. At the end of the refining process, the flour has a grayish appearance from the oxidation. To solve this, a chemical agent such as chorine dioxide, acetone peroxide or benzoyl peroxide is used to bleach the flour to make it white. This bleaching process destroys even more of the few vitamins that remain. 6. In addition, the bleaches can re...

The following is extracted from Mercola.com How does Microwave heat up your food? It heats your food by causing it to resonate at very high frequencies. While this can effectively heat your food it also causes a change in the chemical structure of the food that can lead to health problems. A study published in the November 2003 issue of The Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture found that broccoli "zapped" in the microwave with a little water lost up to 97 percent of the beneficial antioxidant chemicals it contains. By comparison, steamed broccoli lost 11 percent or fewer of its antioxidants. When microwaving, carcinogenic toxins could be leached from your plastic and paper plates or covers and mix with your food.

In Mind your Body, ST 30 Apr 09, Poon Chian Hui reported that there could be surprisingly high amounts of sugar in savoury foods. Things I learnt from this article:- 1) A serving of mee siam contains 66g of sugar. This is almost equivalent to the sugar content in a can of carbonated drink. These include rojak, chee cheong fun etc. 2) Every tablespoon of ketchup has roughly the same amount of sugar as that contained in an Oreo cookie. 1/3 of the content of ketchup is sugar 3) Processed fruit products liked mixed dried fruits - half a cup about 36g of sugar Why worry about excessive sugar intake? It increases the risk of developing chronic ailments such as diabetes and heart conditions. Good & Bad carbohydrates Refined sugars like cane sugar are known as bad carbohydraes as they are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream and can cause a swift and dramatic rise in the blood sugar level. Good carbohydrates are those that occur naturally in foods such as starch. When you consume ...

The Melaleuca Oil has many amazing properties. When you apply T-36-C5 Melaleuca Oil to a wound, it does more than just calm and soothe on the skin’s surface. Melaleuca Oil penetrates to the source of the hurt, bring all of its healing capabilities – antiseptic, soothing, penetrating, non-caustic and solvent – to help the wound heal. Its effectiveness might be due to its exclusive Quality:- Terpinen-4-ol and cineole are keys to the quality of Melaleuca Oil. Terpinen-4-ol is linked to the antiseptic properties of Melaeuca oil. Cineole helps the oil penetrate, but high levels can reduce the amount of other germ-killing compounds, and may irritate sensitive skin. The International Standards Organization (ISO)has determined that oil of Melaleuca alternifolia must contain more than 30% terpinen-4-ol and less than 15% cineole. Melaleuca’s standards are even higher – at least 36% terpinen-4-ol (hence the “T36”) and no more than 5% cineole (represented as “c5”). These levels deliver infe...

Recently two of my friends lost their lives to cancer. It seemed that Cancer is very prevailing not only among the old but also among the young. Based on statistics, one out of every 3 of us will die of cancer. I decided to take a look of it from the biblical approach. The book on the bible cure for Cancer fits in the bill. What are cancers? The passage that follows is an extract from the book by Don Colbert. Cancers are usually made up of very immature cells. Each normal, healthy cell has a specialized function that is designed and "destined" to perform. Consider a small child. He or she may grow up and become a businessman, a doctor, an engineer etc. Yet another young child with the same apparent destiny - in terms of having good parents and a good environment - may grow up and, instead of performing a meaningful job, may become a gang member, a murderer, a bank robber or a serial killer. Something happened in this individual's life to change his destiny. In...

In the Good Health Handbook by Dr Peter Mansfield, there are some points worth noting:- 1) Regard 'flu symptoms as evidence of your body's self-healing efforts. If you can possibly tolerate them, do not interfere. 2) Avoid in particular all the pain killing medicines, coffee, strong tea, chocolate, cola & tobacco 3) Home-made Barley Water is your best drink, or you may take diluted unsweetened fruit juice also. 4) Manage a shower each day, this will help ease fever and pain, and wash away dried perspiration. 5) Good breathing technique promotes excretion of volatile chemicals, ventilate room 6) Plenty of rest My comments: You may try to take E.Excel product Noco to strengthen the respiratory system & ACT to strengthen & nourish your immune system

Got this from an email....but use at your own risk, cos not tried before... *Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue* As dengue fever is rampant now, it might be good to know there is an alternative to use for curing. Content extracted from email: A friend of mine had dengue last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted. Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to incre...

Got this email from someone, thought it might be of use especially with the recent case on the Gelyang Serai food poisoning out break.. When someone gets diarrhoea, sometimes the solution is so easy, we wonder why anyone has to suffer. The secret is in rice water. This is already known in this region. Ask your maids -- Sri Lankan, Indonesian, Filipina and they would know about it. (My mother) knew about it. When Dr Albert Winsemius came to Singapore for a farewell and thank you dinner in his honour, he brought along his wife Aly and his granddaughter, Jolijn. Both women came down with very bad gastroenteritis. They saw the doctor who gave them medication. It was slow to work. Mother boiled some rice in lots of water and went to their hotel with two 1.5L bottles of rice water. I cringed in shame at the offer of this folk remedy, which seemed so primitive to me. Never heard of this cure before. To my surprise, it worked, and they were even able to go out for dinner the next day. Both wer...

Herpes zoster (shingles) is a painful, blistering skin rash due to acute infection with the varicella-zoster virus, the virus that causes chickenpox. This disease is much common in adults over 60 years old due to weakened immunity. The chinese termed this as “snake”. Before the disease become full-fledge, we noticed small little red dots on my mother-in-law’s thigh and stomach. She complained of itchiness. The doctor prescribed anti-itch medicine and also some soothing ointment. However, after a period of a month, we noticed that the red patches are becoming more obvious with some big blisters in certain area, which I later learnt from the doctor that the virus is residing in certain nerves. My mother in law complained of ache and shooting pain on one side of her leg. I learnt that after we get chickenpox, the virus falls asleep or becomes dormant in certain nerves in the body. Shingles occurs after the virus becomes reactive in these nerves after many years. The likely reaso...
