PANADOL MERBAHAYA
JANGAN AMBIL & PANADOL ACTIFAST / SOLUBLE LAGI (TERUTAMA MEREKA YANG ADA GASTRIK)
UNTUK PENGETAHUAN,
ikuti sebuah kenyataan benar dari seorang yang mengalaminya…
“Suami saya bekerja sebagai Jurutera IT di sebuah hospital, di mana pihak hospital sedang menyiapkan pengkalan data untuk pesakitnya. Dia mengenali rapat doktor tersebut. Doktor memberitahu suami saya, apabila mengalami sakit kepala, mereka sendiri tidak sanggup mengambil Panadol atau Paracetamol. . Sebaliknya, mereka akan mencari ubatan herba Cina atau mencari altenatif lain.
Ini kerana Panadol adalah bertoksik kepada tubuh kita. Ia merosakkan organ hati. Menurut doktor tersebut, Panadol akan tinggal di dalam tubuh selama sekurang-kurangnya 5 tahun. Menurutnya lagi, pernah berlaku seorang pramugari menelan terlalu banyak Panadol semasa kedatangan haid kerana tugasnya perlu berdiri sepanjang masa penerbangan. Dia kini baru berumur 30-an tetapi sudah perlu menjalani rawatan buah pinggang (dialisis) setiap bulan.
Alternative Treatment ( Tips )
Seperti kata doktor tersebut, sakit kepala disebabkan ketidak-seimbangan elektron/ion di dalam sel otak.
Sebagai rawatan alternatif, beliau mencadangkan membeli sebotol atau 2 botol minuman isotonik, campurkan dengan air minuman pada kadar 1:1 atau 1:2. Mudahnya, secawan isotonik dengan 2 cawan air minuman.
Saya dan suami pernah mencuba kaedah ini dan mendapati ia berkesan. Kaedah lain ialah merendam kaki ke dalam besin yang mengandungi air suam. Ia akan memberi tekanan darah menurun dari kepala anda.
Panadol adalah sejenis “painkiller”, semakin banyak anda mengambilnya, semakin lama semakin kurang kesannya kepada anda. Bererti anda perlukan dos yang lebih lagi apabila ia kurang berkesan.
Kita semua akan jatuh sakit apabila usia kita semakin meningkat. Untuk wanita, mereka akan melalui pengalaman melahirkan zuriat. Bayangkan mereka akan diberi dos yang kuat apabila terpaksa melalui proses beranak melalui pembedahan. Jika anda terlalu banyak mengambil Panadol atau Paracetamol sepanjang hidup anda, seperti mereka yang ada migrain, ia akan memberi kesan sifar terhadap kesakitan yang anda alami dan anda memerlukan ubat yang lebih kuat lagi untuk mengurangkan rasa sakit. Adakah anda sanggup diberi dadah yang kuat seperti morfin?
Hargailah kehidupan anda. Fikir sebelum mudah memasukkan ubat yang “biasa” ini ke dalam mulut anda.

Teras Kayu Gemungah Penawar Bisa
Pernah dengar cerita pasal Teras Kayu Gemungah yang boleh digunakan sebagai penawar bisa. Pernah disiarkan di Majalah tiga tentang kegunaan kayu ini. Pak da dari kelantan mendapatkan keras kayu tersebut dari arwah datuknya. Cara menggunakannya adalah dengan meletakkan teras kayu gemunggah tersebut atas bekas patukan /gigitan haiwan berbisa. Teras kayu tersebut akan jatuh dengan sendiri bila bisa habis diserap. Kalu teras kayu gemunggah begitu gah khasiatnya haruslah ia dicari dan ditanam secara besaran... mana la nak dapat kayu ni?.. Kayu yang mempunyai khasiat yang sama dengan kayu gemungah ini adalah kayu kemning hitam. Andaian samada kayu kemuning hitam ini juga di panggil kayu gemungah tidaklah dapat saya pastikan. Mungkin perlu maklumat daripada yang pakar
Mungkin juga teras kayu gemungah yang dimaksudkan adalah sama dengan teras kayu gemunggal seperti yang dipaparkan di blog Rahsia Alam . Keunikan dan khasiat teras kayu ini menarik minat saya untuk kajian lebih lanjut

UMNO and money politic
Kawe concern sangat pasal isu politik wang dalam UMNO, bukan pasal kawe jeles dengan senangnya dapat duit bagi diaorang ni, tapi sebab pemimpin dalam UMNO secara rasmi akan jadi pemimpin negara kawe. Secara realitinya UMNO masih lagi parti terkuat bagi orang Melayu. Paling kawe takut adalah munculnya pemimpin - pemimpin yang lahir dari proses budaya politik wang dalam UMNO ini. Senang cerita cara kesimpulan budak sekolah adalah pemimpin yang lahir dari budaya politik wang adalah dipersoal dari segi integriti dan moralnya, inilah yang paling kawe takut. Kawe sayang tanahair Malaysia ini dan kawe tak ingin tanahair ini tergadai di tangan pemimpin yang lemah integriti dan jahat moralnya. Jika ingin menjadi Pemimpin Eksekutif tertinggi negara iaitu Perdana Menteri seseorang itu tidak perlu mendapat sokongan seluruh rakyat Malaysia, cukuplah dengan mendapat sokongan Majoriti perwakilan UMNO yang tak lebih 2 ribu orang tu kalu tak silap kawe. Untuk jadi PM tak perlu tagih undi seluruh negara macam pemilihan Presiden kat negara orang putih, cukup jer kalu dapat tarik undi delegasi perwakilan UMNO yang lebih kurang 2 ribu tuu.. berapa duit boleh beli undi seorang delegasi? 10 ribu? 100 ribu? patutla kat kampung aku waktu pemilihan bahagian UMNO orang boleh gaduh dan tak ngaku sedara sepupu..mana taknya kalu jadi delegasi perwakilan ada banyak peluang nak dapat duit dan bersuka ria tiap kali pemilihan agong. kata la 100 ribu x 2000 delegasi = 200 juta , 200 juta untuk pastikan menang pemilihan UMNO.. banyak sangat ke amaun tuu? perwakilan tu mungkin seronok kalu dapat 100 ribu, kalu gitu la jadinya dengan 200 juta jerr laa seorang pemimpin negara boleh dijual beli.. aku sokong sangat dengan cadangan Pak Lah supaya pemilihan pemimpin UMNO diundi oleh seluruh ahlinya, bukan takat lebih kurang 2000 orang tuu.. so kalu nak beli undi pun kena la beli undi ahli seluruh negara.. jenuh la sikit wat jamuan sponsor dan tabur duit... orang luar pun boleh la pakat tengok
Bukan perkara baru yang budaya politik wang telah menular dalam UMNO sejak berzaman daripada peringkat akar umbi hingga peringkat tertinggi. Pada ahli peringkat rendah dan orang kampung cukuplah dengan wang saguhati berapa ratus ringgit tiap kali Pilihanraya umum, mangkin tinggi hieraki makin tinggi la habuan nyerrrr... pada peringkat Ketua Division cukuplah dengan projek juta ringgit buat sekolah dan bina balik jambatan kalu tak masa pemilihan UMNO jadi tempat pembalasan dendamnyerr. Pernahkah golongan pengundi di kampung2 terutama di kampung kawe yang amat berbangga dengan duit beratus yang diterima setiap kali pilihanraya tanda kemajuan pemerintahan UMNO, tiap kali Pilihanraya kipas duit la orang UMNO depan orang PAS ...terpikirkah apa kesannya budaya merasuah undi dengan beratus ringgit ini pada negara dan bangsa Melayu?. terpikirkah orang kita dari mana datangnya duit beratus juta untuk diagihkan pada mereka.. siapakah penyumbangnya? apa timbal balas dan korban - harga barang naik atau kontrak juta juta .. silap kira negarapun boleh tergadai .... patutla DEB tak capai2 .. hmmmm

WEIGHT LOSS - EXERCISE ANOREXIA, EXERCISE SUPPRESS YOUR APPETITE
2 important ways to loss weight: exercise and diet. It is ok for me to exercise even not regularly as what should to be, but to diet? It’s hard to suppress my craving for food especially when group out for breakfast, lunch and supper is part of my socialize activities. Take out situation during fasting month when some factors can motivate, and when others also fasting it is easy to fast one whole day other than that “diet” is an alien word. One way to refrain from food without to call it as diet is by through exercise, especially for a macho man out there to let others know that you are on diet is a No No. only girl diet k. Have you all ever feel so tired after exercise that you simply don’t have appetite for food. After evening futsal normally I would just skip dinner and enough with fruit or light one while on normal day when not exercise my fuel tank just crave for food, so my way to control weight is through exercise then will naturally eat less or don’t exercise and will end up eat more. How this will explain? During exercise hormone peptide YY which suppressed appetite increase and hormone ghrelin which stimulates appetite dropped. Aerobic exercise is the best to increase hormone peptide YY and decrease hormone ghrelin while non aerobic exercise such as weight lifting decrease hormone ghrelin but don’t show significant increase of hormone peptide YY.
Study by School of Biomedical and Molecular Sciences, University of Surrey, Guildford GU2 7XH, UK have found their hypothesis that acute exercise is able to produce a short-term negative EB and, if sustained in the long-term, may have an important role in weight maintenance. The phenomenon of ‘exercise-induced anorexia’ may be potentially linked to the increased PYY, GLP-1 and PP levels observed during exercise. [2]

Word of Allah Controversy?
An article from Yahoo news
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20090311/wl_nm/us_malaysia_religion_1
I think report by Niluksi is misleading. Over my life only recently that I found out that Malaysian Christians are using word "Allah" for God not word "Tuhan" as what normally referred to (for those in peninsular especially), when Herald - The Chatolic Weekly insist on to use the word in their publication... If Reverend Father Lawrence Andrew claimed that they should be allowed to use word Allah to promote use of National Language Bahasa Malaysia, he is wrong. Word Allah is an Arabic literally while the correct word for God in Bahasa Malaysia would be "Tuhan". Word Allah used by all Muslim all over the world with one mutual meaning, on the opposite Christian used different term and word for God tu suit place, people and objective. Word Allah is significant to Muslim not only literally, but in spiritually and akidah. To justify whether Christian religiously correct to use word Allah we have to look at it not only in literally but in religious aspect of each religion. What word Allah really meant? Generally it meant Oneness of God. Literally it is "the One" [1] , from root word of "ilah" (God) [1}and "Al" in arabic refer to specific one like "the" in English so "The One" and "ma'luh" meant (yang disembah). Inherently it meant He who has all the al-ilahiyyah (the ultimate power), al-ubudiyyah (servitude) over His creatures.
The use of word Allah can be traced back to first Prophet of Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad (peace be upon them all) mutual teaching of them all lay on divine religion of pure monotheism of God. Islam is the only religion which recognizes and believes that all the prophets brought the same essential message[2]. This message was, still and will be the belief in and submission to ONE God (the Creator and the Sustainer of all things, the Exalted and the Redeemer of all things. The word Islam itself means "submission and surrendering" to God. Islam is the complete submission and obedience to Allah (God).When the teaching of previous prophet already deviated and changed for want of priest and people. The question of authenticity of Holy Book and Teaching came. Allah sent new prophet /religion to renew call for right path to Him. The Pure Monotheism of Islam calls all people to the worship of the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and all of the other prophets. However, even though Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same God — since there is only one God — their concepts concerning Him differ in some significant ways. The concept of Trinity would definitely against the meaning of Oneness of God of word Allah.
In Islam Jesus is a prophet of Allah, he is not a Allah’s son. The belief of Jesus as Allah/God’s son would negate the concept of Oneness of God lay in word Allah, literally and religiously. Christian in Western countries never used word Allah as God, Christian Arab speaker use word Allah al-‘Ab (God the Father), Christian in China and Japan chose word in their own language. Christian in Malaysia should use word “Tuhan” in Bahasa or “Tuhan Ayah” if they prefer to.
correct me if i'm wrong
The name Allah (God) in Islam never refers to Muhammad (pbuh), as many Christians may think; Allah is the personal name of God. What do Muslims believe about Allah?
1. He is the one God, Who has no partner.
2. Nothing is like Him. He is the Creator, not created, nor a part of His creation.
3. He is All-Powerful, absolutely Just.
4. There is no other entity in the entire universe worthy of worship besides Him.
5. He is First, Last, and Everlasting; He was when nothing was, and will be when nothing else remains.
6. He is the All-Knowing, and All-Merciful,the Supreme, the Sovereign.
7. It is only He Who is capable of granting life to anything.
8. He sent His Messengers (peace be upon them) to guide all of mankind.
9. He sent Muhammad (pbuh) as the last Prophet and Messenger for all mankind.
10. His book is the Holy Qur'an, the only authentic revealed book in the world that has been kept without change.
11. Allah knows what is in our hearts.[2]
Allah is the One, No God but Allah,

Malaysia Christians battle with Muslims over AllahBuzz UpBy Niluksi Koswanage Niluksi Koswanage – 1 hr 1 min ago
KENINGAU, Malaysia (Reuters) – Reciting the Catholic Creed, the 1,800-strong congregation attending mass at St. Francis Xavier Cathedral on Borneo island intones in Malay: "We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of Allah."These Malaysian Catholics, like their brethren in Indonesia, have used the word "Allah" in place of "God" since converting to Christianity in the 19th century.But now the government in this mostly Muslim Southeast Asian nation of 27 million people wants to prevent "Allah" being used by Christians, saying it is subversive and aims to convert Muslims.Christians fear this is just the thin edge of the wedge."The government of West Malaysia has an infection of religious hatred. We have to fight back so it does not spread," said Bishop Cornelius Piong after Sunday Mass at the cathedral in the heart of a rice-growing district in eastern Sabah state.Christianity is practiced by 9.1 percent of the Malaysian population, according to the 2000 census, the most recently available figures. Many of them, like Bishop Piong, come from ethnic groups such as the Kadazandusun, Dayaks, Ibans and Bidayuh who live in the Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak."Our worship of Allah is so natural, it is part and parcel of the Kadazandusun people here," Piong said.The row over the use of Allah to describe the Christian God feeds into a long-running feud over conversions between the government of a country where all Malays must be Muslims and other faiths, such as Hinduism and Buddhism that are practiced by ethnic Indians and Chinese.MALAYS FRET OVER CONVERSIONIt is illegal in Malaysia to convert from Islam to any other religion although conversions to Islam are allowed.One of the biggest cases involved Lina Joy, a woman who wanted to convert to Christianity to marry her partner, who was baptized and applied to have her conversion legally recognized by the Malaysian state.She lost a court battle two years ago to have the word "Islam" removed from her identity card. All Malaysian identity cards carry a person's race and religion.It is cases such as these that worry Malaysian Muslim activists and officials and they see using the word Allah in Christian publications including bibles as attempts to proselytize.Those concerns led to the ban on the Catholic Herald newspaper's use of "Allah" to denote God. The Herald is now suing the government to overturn the ruling, made after it appeared the paper would be allowed to use "Allah" provided it stamped "For Christians" on the front page of the paper."Allowing Christians to use the word is dangerous because it's attacking the sole religion of the Malays," said Yusri Mohamad, president of the influential Muslim Youth Movement."We have to question Christians' motive for wanting to use this obviously Muslim word. It appears to be for conversions. All Muslim Malays in Malaysia are against this."Some leading Muslim scholars here say the issue is being blown out of proportion and that the risk of conversions among the 60 percent Muslim population is tiny.They see it as an attempt by the government that has ruled Malaysia uninterrupted for 51 years since independence from Britain to hold on to power by identifying ethnicity with religion.The main ruling party in Malaysia is called the United Malay National Organization, and like its allies from Chinese and Indian parties, it is ethnically based."It is an irrational fear (of conversions) but a very powerful one," said Osman Bakar, the deputy head of the International Institute of Advanced Islamic Studies Malaysia. "Now the government has moved to setting up demarcations around the national language."SPILLING INTO POLITICSWhile the Kadazandusun and other indigenous people on Borneo hold the same privileges as Malays in preferential access to areas such education, loans and housing, the resource-rich states of Sabah and Sarawak are far poorer than peninsular Malaysia.Sabah and Sarawak have voted solidly for parties from the governing National Front coalition since the start of democratic rule in Malaysia.That hegemony is now under threat after the opposition scored its best-ever election result in 2008 when it deprived the government of its two-thirds parliamentary majority and ended up in control of five of Malaysia's 13 states.Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim is now targeting the voters of Borneo in an effort to keep up pressure on the government and the first test will come in a state assembly by-election in Sarawak in early April.There may also be a chance for voters in a constituency near to St Francis Xavier to flex their muscles depending on a court decision on whether a move to disqualify three non-government parliamentary candidates was valid.For the people of Bishop Piong's congregation what happens in the battle over the use of "Allah" will certainly be an issue if the election is re-run."If the government wants to be nasty and stop people from using Allah, it can. But it may not work here. It's God's country here," said 28-year-old Teresa Palikat, a tailor, after attending Sunday Mass in Keningau district."If the elections happen, we will show them (the government) we are serious about Allah."

He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.
That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, 'Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?'The man said, 'I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.'What he had written was: ' Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it. '
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively.Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear.Great men say, 'Life has to be an incessant process of repair and reconstruction, of discarding evil and developing goodness…. In the journey of life, if you want to travel without fear, you must have the ticket of a good conscience.'The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…And even more beautiful is, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!Giving Love Is The Greatest Pleasure Of Life...

MOUTHWASH - Link to cancer
A new study has found sufficient evidence implicating alcohol containing mouthwash in oral cancer. An Australian whose finding were pulished in the Dental Journal of Australia, said some mouthwashes were more dangerous than wine or beer because they contained higher concentration of alcohol, as high as 26%.
The Alcohol in mouthwash allows cancer- cauisng substances such as nicotine to penetrate the lining of the mouth easily. It result in a toxic breakdown products of alcohol called acetaldehyde - another carcinogen - which can accumulate n the oral cavity when swished aroud the mouth.The evidence was based on an international study of 3,210 people, which found daily mouthwash "a significant risk factor" for head and neck cancer. The effect were worse in smokers who had a nine-fold increase in risk of cancer of oral cavity, pharynx and larynx.
Those who drank alcohol were more than 5 times at risk.However, British Dental Association and Cancer Research UK cautioned thatmore research was needed to confirm the findings.

FISH MAKE YOU SMARTER?
This is merely facts from studies on fish in relation to brain. Everyone has liberty of right to choose what kind of food to go down into their tummy, and this information will help everyone to make informed action with regard to their health and life. Benefit of fish to our health is not a guarded secret. We are as what we eat, body health and inclusive of our brain. As taking drugs and smoking can have down effect on our brain, so are other supplement and food can have good effect on our brain such as good for memory and preventing brain deficient disease such as Alzheimer. Fish is proven good for your heart. What other benefits that associated with it? Claim of fish good for our brain could better explained through some scientific facts..
Fish Good for Healthy Outlook
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) a key component of fish oil, is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid that occurs in fish oil, which along with docosahexaenoic acid DHA has been linked with numerous health benefits. This will also explain that mother’s milk which high content of DHA better for your baby rather than formula milk. The February 2008 issue of the American Journal o Clinical Nutrition reported the outcome of a Canadian clinical trial which found a beneficial effect of EPA on middle aged women suffering from psychological distress. The researcher noted that polyunsaturated fatty acid were needed by brain cell membranes and that a deficiency of omega 3 fatty acid could impact the transmission of serotonin a neurohormone which control mood. EPA and DHA have anti inflammatory and other effects on brain biochemistry, including an ability to alter the expression of enzymes.
Fish make you smarter?
There is some evidence to show that poor dietary intakes or low blood levels of these omega-3 fats can result in learning difficulties, behavioral problems, and mental illness. This may indicate a strong relationship between eating fish and brain development. Sixty per cent of the brain is composed of fat - but not just any fat. DHA and EPA are good fats. DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is important for normal brain and vision development. The increased intelligence and academic performance of breastfed compared with formula-fed infants has been attributed in part to the increased DHA content of human milk. The saturated fat that comes primarily from meat and full-fat dairy products is not what the brain cells need. They do need polyunsaturated fats, especially the long-chain omega-3 fatty acids found in fish, which are called eicosapentenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexenoic acid (DHA). Fish get them from the algae they eat. (Some leafy green vegetables, as well as walnuts, flaxseed, and canola oil, contain shorter-chain omega-3s; these are not readily converted by our bodies into EPA and DHA.)[1] Cultures whose diet is high in DHA have a lower incidence of degenerative diseases of the central nervous system, such as multiple sclerosis. Some children with ADHD and poor school performance have been shown to have insufficient DHA in their diet.EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) is also important in brain and eye development and function. EPA has been used to treat depression, bipolar disorder, Huntington's chorea, chronic fatigue syndrome (myalgic encephalomyelitis), obsessive compulsive disorder, and schizophrenia. [2]
According to Dr Shawn Somerset of the School of Public Health at Griffith University in Australia: "No study has proved that eating more fish will make you smarter."So it is not true that the more fish you eat, the smarter you become. If this were so, then Eskimos, who eat perhaps the highest amounts of fish as any people anywhere in the world, would all be geniuses. Yet having survived for so many centuries in such a brutally harsh environment, perhaps they are.
There are saying that Kelantanese and Terengganu people smart because they eat a lot of budu.... don’t know but I eat budu he he..
Health authorities usually recommend the eating of two or three servings of fish per week for most people.Words to the wise about fish-oil supplements: They can have adverse effects: nausea, diarrhea, belching. In people with uncontrolled hypertension or those taking anticoagulants, high doses of fish oil may increase the risk of stroke.One of concern with fish oil supplement is that they may contain toxins from oceans which are increasingly polluted. This is may be not founded; eat fish body may have lesser toxin than its liver.
