Malunggay (Moringa) Juice… the best natural antibiotic and we experience it first hand. It don’t taste good but it really cures ailment and viruses. To improve its bitter taste, one author suggest to add honey.
Aside from the benefits of purification, detoxification, and anti-infection, moringa provides many other health benefits
as the leaves contain generous amounts of various essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that boost an individual’s immune system.
They are rich in Vitamins A and C, potassium, calcium, protein, iron, and folic acid. That is why daily consumption of this wonder plant can really do wonders to our health in general. It’s the best alternative medicine you can find. Better if you mix it with other vegetables through a juicer. It cures cancer, ulcer, diabetes, flu, etc.
There are various benefits and you can either eat or earn from it:
Oil from Moringa Seeds (better source of alternative fuel than Jatropha)
am formulating a Feasibility Study for a client but I stopped for a while to give way to an idea of establishing a Cancer Support Group. I have to admit that I am starting from scratch as I have nothing except a vision and care. The idea started when my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer early this year. Since then, I began to incubate care for the cancer patients as I found out how hard it is for them to go through that stage due to so many factors affecting them:
Required treatment and medications
Physical and emotional stress
Mental drain
Physical limitations
Complete diet shift from cooked to raw vegetables
Financial
Other factors
We are fortunate to find a Christian Church that truly cares. Aside from prayers, my wife recently received financial donation in support of her medications and diet. Although I am already in support of various ministries, the Pastor’s wife brought to our attention how she is burdened with the growing number of ill members’ medical and care needs, which concerns me a lot. I told her, “why not establish a care ministry for cancer patients?” I smiled after that but the idea did not leave my mind till to this day. I hope somebody out there would help and support this endeavor… we wish to help organize and find support for Cancer Care Group, who will not just pray but also raise funds for the benefit of cancer patients in and outside of the four walls of our church. We are in Tagaytay Philippines and we need both an advise and support in any form.
Allow me to thank Optimox Corporation (manufacturer of “Iodoral” – cancer medicine/supplement) as they donated 12 bottles in support of my wife. I also would like to thank Breast Cancer Choices (non-profit organization) who donated 2 bottles of Iodoral. Out of those blessings we received, we shared a number of bottles to other breast cancer patients attending the same church we attend (International Christian Fellowship of Tagaytay). The countless blessings also comes from family and friends who supported us in any kind. I know that God will bless them a hundred fold in His right time.
In the near future, my wife and I would like to ask the church board to allow separate Sunday School gathering for cancer patients and those will ailment. I am also thinking of sponsoring other projects and programs as awareness seminar-workshop, livelihood, fund raising, art exhibit and partnering with Non Governmental Organization or other Local and International Cancer Care Group.
In this modern times, a cancer patient should not lose hope because there are number of options that provides treatment or cure whether it’s conventional/traditional or alternative/natural treatment and medicines. We both accept medicines and sponsorship donations for either of the two.
Others:
Above is a juicer highly recommended for cancer patient as natural juice from fruits and vegetable is far greater than almost all food intake. Another effective therapy is the coffee enema (please see and ask your Doctor about it).
Above was my 2nd for this year. I intend to deliver them through my contact at In Christ We Live Family Christian Center (Talipapa Novaliches Quezon City Philippines) Below are the beneficiaries:
- Congregations of Rev. Tejero (Quezon Nueva Ecija Philippines)
- ICWL Center Talipapa Novaliches
- ICWL Sampaguita-Shelterville Congregation
- ICWL Malabon Outreach
- ICWL Mindoro Outreach
- A Church in Bataan
- ICWL Cavite
I already coordinated that I need to report with photos. These vitamins are intentionally for kids, to fight malnutrition and sight problems. I also reiterated that it should be distributed and facilitated by a licensed credible Medical practitioner either through community health center through their congregation they serve.
The last package I received last January (this year), I channeled them through Tagaytay City Hall’s Medical Officers and Staff as shown below…
Hope I can also get donors of medicines and support for breast ailment/cancer from global NGO as many Filipinas have this ailment (including my wife) and the medicine costs are too much to bear for ordinary citizen.
History truly repeats itself, obesity was one characteristics of people from great nations of the past as Rome and Greece. These was clearly seen through renaissance art paintings and sculptures.
Obesity can no longer be ignored in most countries and already been a national health issue as in the United States.
More facts about obesity as stated by World Health Organization. Please refer to below excerpt or just click to link below for more details…
Globally, there are more than 1 billion overweight adults, at least 300 million of them obese.
Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer.
The key causes are increased consumption of energy-dense foods high in saturated fats and sugars, and reduced physical activity.
Obesity has reached epidemic proportions globally, with more than 1 billion adults overweight – at least 300 million of them clinically obese – and is a major contributor to the global burden of chronic disease and disability. Often coexisting in developing countries with under-nutrition, obesity is a complex condition, with serious social and psychological dimensions, affecting virtually all ages and socioeconomic groups.
Increased consumption of more energy-dense, nutrient-poor foods with high levels of sugar and saturated fats, combined with reduced physical activity, have led to obesity rates that have risen three-fold or more since 1980 in some areas of North America, the United Kingdom, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific Islands, Australasia and China.The obesity epidemic is not restricted to industrialized societies; this increase is often faster in developing countries than in the developed world.
Obesity and overweight pose a major risk for serious diet-related chronic diseases, including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension and stroke, and certain forms of cancer. The health consequences range from increased risk of premature death, to serious chronic conditions that reduce the overall quality of life. Of especial concern is the increasing incidence of child obesity.
Why is this happening?
The rising epidemic reflects the profound changes in society and in behavioural patterns of communities over recent decades. While genes are important in determining a person’s susceptibility to weight gain, energy balance is determined by calorie intake and physical activity. Thus societal changes and worldwide nutrition transition are driving the obesity epidemic. Economic growth, modernization, urbanization and globalization of food markets are just some of the forces thought to underlie the epidemic.
As incomes rise and populations become more urban, diets high in complex arbohydrates give way to more varied diets with a higher proportion of fats, saturated fats and sugars. At the same time, large shifts towards less physically demanding work have been observed worldwide. Moves towards less physical activity are also found in the increasing use of automated transport, technology in the home, and more passive leisure pursuits.
How do we define obesity and overweight?
The prevalence of overweight and obesity is commonly assessed by using body mass index (BMI), defined as the weight in kilograms divided by the square of the height in metres (kg/m2 ). A BMI over 25 kg/m2 is defined as overweight, and a BMI of over 30 kg/m2 as obese. These markers provide common benchmarks for assessment, but the risks of disease in all populations can increase progressively from lower BMI levels.
Adult mean BMI levels of 22-23 kg/m2 are found in Africa and Asia, while levels of 25-27 kg/m2 are prevalent across North America, Europe, and in some Latin American, North African and Pacific Island countries. BMI increases amongst middle-aged elderly people, who are at the greatest risk of health complications. In countries undergoing nutrition transition, overnutrition often co-exists with undernutrition. People with a BMI below 18.5 kg/m2 tend to be underweight.
The distribution of BMI is shifting upwards in many populations. And recent studies have shown that people who were undernourished in early life and then become obese in adulthood, tend to develop conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes at an earlier age and in more severe form than those who were never undernourished.
The extent of the problem
Currently more than 1 billion adults are overweight – and at least 300 million of them are clinically obese. Current obesity levels range from below 5% in China, Japan and certain African nations, to over 75% in urban Samoa. But even in relatively low prevalence countries like China, rates are almost 20% in some cities.
Childhood obesity is already epidemic in some areas and on the rise in others. An estimated 22 million children under five are estimated to be overweight worldwide. According to the US Surgeon General, in the USA the number of overweight children has doubled and the number of overweight adolescents has trebled since 1980. The prevalence of obese children aged 6-to-11 years has more than doubled since the 1960s. Obesity prevalence in youths aged 12-17 has increased dramatically from 5% to 13% in boys and from 5% to 9% in girls between 1966-70 and 1988-91 in the USA. The problem is global and increasingly extends into the developing world; for example, in Thailand the prevalence of obesity in 5-to-12 year olds children rose from12.2% to 15-6% in just two years.
Obesity accounts for 2-6% of total health care costs in several developed countries; some estimates put the figure as high as 7%. The true costs are undoubtedly much greater as not all obesity-related conditions are included in the calculations.
How does excess body fat impact health?
Overweight and obesity lead to adverse metabolic effects on blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides and insulin resistance. Some confusion of the consequences of obesity arise because researchers have used different BMI cut-offs, and because the presence of many medical conditions involved in the development of obesity may confuse the effects of obesity itself.
The non-fatal, but debilitating health problems associated with obesity include respiratory difficulties, chronic musculoskeletal problems, skin problems and infertility. The more life-threatening problems fall into four main areas: CVD problems; conditions associated with insulin resistance such as type 2 diabetes; certain types of cancers, especially the hormonally related and large-bowel cancers; and gallbladder disease.
The likelihood of developing Type 2 diabetes and hypertension rises steeply with increasing body fatness. Confined to older adults for most of the 20th century, this disease now affects obese children even before puberty. Approximately 85% of people with diabetes are type 2, and of these, 90% are obese or overweight. And this is increasingly becoming a developing world problem. In 1995, the Emerging Market Economies had the highest number of diabetics. If current trends continue, India and the Middle Eastern crescent will have taken over by 2025.Large increases would also be observed in China, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the rest of Asia.
Raised BMI also increases the risks of cancer of the breast, colon, prostate, endometroium, kidney and gallbladder. Chronic overweight and obesity contribute significantly to osteoarthritis, a major cause of disability in adults. Although obesity should be considered a disease in its own right, it is also one of the key risk factors for other chronic diseases together with smoking, high blood pressure and high blood cholesterol. In the analyses carried out for World Health Report 2002, approximately 58% of diabetes and 21% of ischaemic heart disease and 8-42% of certain cancers globally were attributable to a BMI above 21 kg/m2.
What can we do about it?
Effective weight management for individuals and groups at risk of developing obesity involves a range of long-term strategies. These include prevention, weight maintenance, management of co-morbidities and weight loss. They should be part of an integrated, multi-sectoral, population-based approach, which includes environmental support for healthy diets and regular physical activity. Key elements include:
Creating supportive population-based environments through public policies that promote the availability and accessibility of a variety of low-fat, high-fibre foods, and that provide opportunities for physical activity.
Promoting healthy behaviours to encourage, motivate and enable individuals to lose weight by: – eating more fruit and vegetables, as well as nuts and whole grains;
- engaging in daily moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes;
- cutting the amount of fatty, sugary foods in the diet;
- moving from saturated animal-based fats to unsaturated vegetable-oil based fats.
Mounting a clinical response to the existing burden of obesity and associated conditions through clinical programmes and staff training to ensure effective support for those affected to lose weight or avoid further weight gain.
Fat Embolism is basically the blood clot or air bubble on veins commonly cause by physical upset, surgery or pain.
As per gathered from Wikipedia, A common scenario is fatty marrow entering the circulation after a fracture to a large bone such as the femur or pelvis, or after surgery on such a bone.
It was only yesterday that I was able to view the film, “Julie and Julia” starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams. It was such a nice movie and truly inspiring. Somehow I could relate to the character portrayed by Ms. Amy Adams as it is not that easy to be a blogger due to various reasons and obstacles. Both of them are exceptional on their acting especially Ms. Streep. On the contrary, I find Ms. Amy Adams as very natural on her role as if I knew her. She is so charming especially with her short hair and simple looks – natural beauty. I’ve seen many movies already but this is different and unique.
This movie is trully remarkable and extra ordinary one. I could compare this to 90′s movie “The Awakening” starring Robbin Williams and De Niro. More than the active and entertainment value, this movie is a reminder that business and innovation exist not just for profit and power, but it has its duty to humanity and the less fortunate.
I applaude Mr. Harrison Ford as the Executive Producer. Such kind of film may not be as money making as to his other blockbuster films (Starwars, Indiana Jones, The Patriot Games, The Fugitive, etc.) . But film as this will make investors and visionaries to think again of their duty to society and the world, above selfish ambision and profiteering. Beyond entertainment value, this film exhale hope and conscience to viewing public.
All my life I live in a place where coconut trees and fruits are everywhere and easily bought. Who would have thought it contains one of the most nutritious elements in the planet our body can in take:
Coconut Water is More Nutritious than whole milk – Less fat and NO cholesterol!
Coconut Water is More Healthy than Orange Juice – Much lower calories
Coconut Water is Better than processed baby milk- It contains lauric acid, which is present in human mother’s milk
Coconut water is naturally sterile — Water permeates though the filtering husk!
Coconut water is a universal donor– Its identical to human blook plasma
Coconut Water is a Natural Isotonic Beverage – The same level we have in our blood.
Coconut water has saved lives in 3rd world countries thru Coconut IV.
“Coconut water is the very stuff of Nature, biologically Pure, full of Natural Sugars, Salts, and Vitamins to ward off fatigue… and is the next wave of energy drinks BUT natural!”, according to Mortin Satin, Chielf of the United Nation’s Food & Agriculture Organization
Coconut water contains more potassium (at about 294 mg) than most sports drinks (117 mg) and most energy drinks
Coconut water has less sodium (25mg) where sports drinks have around 41mg and energy drinks have about 200 mg
Coconut water has 5mg of Natural Sugars where sports and energy drinks range from 10-25mg of Altered Sugars
Coconut water is very high in Chloride at 118mg, compared to sports drinks at about 39mg.
As early as World War II, coconut water is already been tapped for medicinal use. It’s a natural isotonic beverage, with the same level of electrolytic balance as we have in our blood.
As per researched, the coconut was found to provide many benefits beside medicinal use. As to food usage, the fruit and its content can be turned into milk, meat, sugar and oil as well as functioning as its own dish and cup. The husk was also burned for fuel by natives, but today a seed fibre called coir is taken from the husk and used to make brushes, mats, fishnets, and rope. A very potent fermented toddy or drink is also made from the coconut palm’s sap. Coconut oil, a saturated fat made from dried coconut meat, is used for commercial frying and in candies and margarines, as well as in non-edible products such as soaps and cosmetics.
If anyone wishes to source for coconut products, kindly e-mail me directly at denissalvatierra@yahoo.com. Please provide details to quote accordingly.
