Be careful of AIDS

Dear my loving readers,

It can happen anywhere. Better be careful than sorry!
มันสามารถเกิดขึ้นได้ทุกที่ ควรระวังมากกว่าเสียใจ

Buying Cut fruit -Beware - better cut it
yourself.
การซื้อผลไม้หั่นแล้ว - ระวัง - หั่นเองดีกว่า
Importance: High
ระดับความสำคัญ : สูง

It happens in Singapore - Waterloo Street.
A 10 year old boy, had eaten pineapple about 15 days back, and fell sick, from
the day he had eaten. Later when he had his Health check done...
มันเกิดขึ้นที่ สิงคโปร์ - ถนน วอเตอร์ลู
เด็กชายวัย 10 ขวบได้รับประทานสับปะรด 15 วันก่อนหน้าที่จะไม่สบาย หลังจากนั้น
เมื่อเขาได้ไปตรวจสุขภาพ

Doctors diagnosed that he had AIDS. His parents couldn't believe it...Then the
entire family under went a checkup...
หมอวินิจฉัยว่า...เขาเป็นเอดส์ พ่อแม่เด็กไม่อยากจะเชื่อดังนั้นทั้งครอบครัวจึงตรวจสุขภาพด้วย

None of them suffered from Aids.
ไม่มีใครในครอบครัวที่ติดเอดส์

So the doctors checked again with the boy if
ดังนั้นหมอจึงตรวจอีกครั้ง และถามว่าได้กินอะไรเข้าไปรึเปล่า

He had eaten out...The boy said 'yes'. He had pineapple that evening.
เด็กตอบว่า "ใช่ฮะ" วันนั้นเด็กได้กินสับปะรด ในตอนเย็น

immediately a group from the hospital went to the pineapple vendor to
check.
ทันใดนั้น มีกลุ่มหนึ่งจากรพ. ได้ไปที่คนขายสับปะรดเพื่อตรวจสอบ

They found the pineapple seller had a cut on his finger while cutting the
pineapple; his blood had spread into the fruit.
พวกเขาพบว่า คนขายสับปะรด ได้ทำมีดบาดนิ้วตอนหั่นสับปะรด
เลือดของเขากระจายลงไปที่ผลไม้

When they had his blood checked...the guy was suffering from AIDS...but he
himself was NOT aware.
เมื่อตรวจเลือดของคนขายแล้ว ก็พบว่าเขาเป็นเอดส์โดยที่เจ้าตัวไม่รู้

Unfortunately the boy is suffering from it now.
โชคร้ายที่เด็กชายต้องมาติดเชื้อไปด้วยอีกคน

Nice inspired story

Dear my loving readers,

Trust the story below will give you a lift.

Once upon a time there was a bunch of tiny frogs.... who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.

A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants....

The race began....

Honestly:

No one in crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as:

"Oh, WAY too difficult!!"

"They will NEVER make it to the top."

"Not a chance that they will succeed. The tower is too high!"



The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one....

Except for those, who in a fresh tempo, were climbing higher and higher....

The crowd continued to yell, "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"

More tiny frogs got tired and gave up....

But ONE continued higher and higher and higher....

This one wouldn't give up!



At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower. Except for the one tiny frog who, after a big effort, was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally want ed to know how this one frog managed to do it?


A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?

It turned out....

That the winner was DEAF!!!!




The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people's tendencies to be

negative or pessimistic.... because they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you -- the ones you have in your heart!

Always think of the power words have.

Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions!

Therefore:

ALWAYS be....

POSITIVE!

And above all:

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that you cannot fulfill your dreams!

Always think:

I can do this!

Share this message to "tiny frogs" you care about.

Give them some motivation!!!
Most people walk in and out of your life......but FRIENDS leave footprints in your heart


Cheers!!

You may poison yourself accidentally

Dear our loving readers,


台灣，一名女人突然無緣無故的七孔流血暴斃，一夜之間，就奔赴黃泉大家下回可要多多注意囉！經過初步驗屍 . 斷定為因砒霜中毒而死亡。那砒霜從何而來？

Taiwan, a woman suddenly died unexpectedly with signs of bleeding from her ears, nose, mounth & eyes. After a preliminary autopsy it was diagnosed death due to arsenic poisoning death. Where did the arsenic come from?


　　 警員展開了深入而廣泛的調 查。一名醫學院的教授被邀趕來協助破案。

The police launched an in-depth and extensive investigation. A medical school professor was invited to come to solve the case.

　　教授仔細地察看了死者胃中取物，不到半個小時，暴斃之謎便 揭曉。教授 說：「死 者並非自殺，亦不是被殺，而是死於無知的『它殺』」！

The professor carefully looked at the contents from the deceased's stomach, in less than half an hour, the mystery was solved. The professor said: 'The deceased did not commit suicide and neither was she murdered, she died of accidental death due to ignorance!'

　　 大家莫名其妙，何為『它殺』！？那砒霜又是從 韟茖荂 H
　 教授 說：「砒霜是在死者 腹 內 產生的。」死者生前每天也會服食「維他命 C 」，這完全沒有問題！問題出在她 晚 餐吃了大量的蝦，吃蝦本身也是沒有問題的，所以她的家人吃了都沒有事，但死者卻同時服用了「維他命 C 」，問題就出在這裡 !

Everyone was puzzled, why accidental death? The arsenic is of the U.S. military for carrying rice seedlings H Gao. The professor said: 'The arsenic is produced in the stomach of the deceased.' The deceased used to take 'Vitamin C' everyday, which in itself is not a problem. The problem was that she ate a large portion of shrimp/prawn during dinner. Eating shrimp/prawn is not the problem that's why nothing happened to her family ever though they took the same shrimp/prawn. However at the same time the deceased also took 'vitamin C', that is where the problem is!




美國芝加哥大學的研究人員，通過實驗發現，蝦等軟殼類食物含有大量濃度較高的 －五鉀砷化合物。

Researchers at the University of Chicago in the United States , found through experiments, food such as soft-shell shrimp/prawn contains a much higher concentration of - five potassium arsenic compounds.

　　 這種物質食入體 內，本身對人體並無毒害作用！但是，在服用「維生素 C 」之後，由於化學作用，使原來無毒的－五鉀砷 ( 即砷酸酐，亦稱五氧化砷，其化學式為 As205)
，轉變為有毒的三鉀砷 ( 即亞砷酸 酐 ) ，又稱為三氧化二砷，其化學式為 (As203) ，這就是人們俗稱的砒霜 !

Such fresh food by itself has no toxic effects on the human body! However, in taking 'vitamin C', due to the chemical reaction, the original non-toxic - five potassium arsenic (As anhydride, also known as arsenic oxide, the chemical formula for As205) changed to a three potassium toxic arsenic (ADB arsenic anhydride), also known as arsenic trioxide, a chemical formula (As203), which is commonly known as arsenic to the public!

　　　　 砒霜有原漿毒作用，能麻痺細血管，抑制 巰基梅的活性，並使肝臟脂變肝小葉中心壞死，心、肝、腎、腸充血，上皮細胞壞死，毛細血管擴張。故中其毒而死者，常是 七竅出血。
　　 所以；為慎重起見，在服用「維生素 C 」期間，應當忌食蝦類。

Arsenic poisoning have magma role and can cause paralysis to the small blood vessels, "mercapto Jimei"??, inhibits the activity of the liver and fat necrosis change Hepatic Lobules Centre, heart, liver, kidney, intestine congestion, epithelial cell necrosis, telangiectasia. Therefore, a person who dies of arsenic poisoning will shows signs of bleeding from the ears, nose, mouth & eyes.
Therefore; as a precautionary measure,
DO NOT not take shrimp/prawn when taking 'vitamin C'.

After reading this; please do not be stingy. Share with everyone you know of!!

Healthy ARTICLE .... Gallstones Removal (6-day self-treatment) procedure.

Dear loving readers,


This is a useful piece of information that you may have received before.


"Gallstones - Natural Cure " and read more about
Dr Lai Chiu-Nan to find out more about her and the feedbacks of this treatment.
PS: as always, spread the good things.


Pictures first, explanation and procedure follows:



1. Liver
2. Common Bile Duct
3. Gallstones
4. Gallbladder







Greenish gallstones in faeces










REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan


It has worked for many. If it works for you please pass on the good news. Chiu Nan is not charging for it, so we should make it free for everyone. Your reward is when someone, through your word of mouth, benefits from the regime. Gallstones may not be everyone's concern. But they should be because we all have them.




Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. "Cancer is never the first illness," Chiu Nan points out. "Usually, there are a lot of other problems leading to cancer.


In my research in China , I came across some materials which say that people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It's a matter of big or small, many or few.


One of the symptoms of gallstones is a feeling of bloatedness after a heavy meal. You feel like you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious, you will feel pain in the liver area. So if you think you have gallstones, Chiu Nan offers the following method to remove them naturally.


The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.


Regimen:
1. For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice every day. Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally.
2. On the sixth day, take no dinner.
3. At 6 PM , take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water.
4. At 8 PM , repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts.
5. At 10 PM , take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage.
PS. 1cup=250ml, ½ cup lemon juice=3 lemons (aprox.)


The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. "Usually they float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I have had people who passes 40, 50 or as many as up to 100 stones."


"Even if you don't have any symptoms of gallstones, you still might have some. It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now and then.
