Pork Luncheon Meat Banned

There goes the world's yummiest luncheon pork. 
Banned Can Food! 
Cancer-causing antibiotic found in popular luncheon pork 

SINGAPORE- The agent of a popular mainland canned pork product has initiated a recall and suspended sales after tests showed a sample contained a cancer-causing antibiotic. 
The Centre for Food Safety yesterday revealed this after laboratory tests showed a sample of Shan ghai Ma Ling B2 340g pork luncheon meat (less sodium) was found to have traces of nitrofurans. 
The batch number is B2 5 for the product, which carries a best-before date of December 26, 2009 . According to the sole agent, the canned pork was imported on only two occasions - last December and January this year. The scare spread when Singapore 's Agri -Food and Veterinary Authority detected carcinogenic traces in a consignment of canned pork from Ma Ling and Gulong food processing factories. 
These brands have been banned from entering Singapore since August 2007 for containing nitrofurans( an antibiotic for pigs) 
Chinese Malaysians pls be cautious !- 
Including Portuguese Malaysians (and Indians!) who enjoy this Luncheon Pork.

Chicken Wings - Health Hazard for ladies BE CAREFUL !!!!!!

Chicken Wings - Its Dangerous 

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently - ladies, especially; a true story...! 
 
A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove the. 
The cyst removed was filled with a dark colored blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery but! she was terribly wrong. 

A relapse occurred just a few months later. Distressed , she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation. 

During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her. 
He ask if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied yes wondering as to how, he knew of her eating habits. 
You see, the truth is in this modern day and age; chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met. 
This need is none other than the need for food.

Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings. 
Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroids exists. 
These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth.. 
It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb. Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

What to do when you are trapped in a lift?

We never know when and where accidents will happen to us OR people around us.  
Read on and hope this piece of information may help any of us when things do happen to ourself, our friends and our loved ones. 
  
One day, while in a lift, it suddenly broke down and it was falling from level 13 at a fast speed.  
Fortunately, I remembered watching a TV program that taught you must quickly press all the buttons for all the levels. 
Finally, the lift stopped at the 5th level. 
  
When you are facing life and death situations, whatever decisions or actions you make decides your survival.  
If you are caught in a lift breakdown, first thought in mind may be 'waiting to die'... 
  
But after reading below, things will definitely be different the next time you are caught in a lift. 
  
First – Quickly press all the different levels of buttons in the lift. 
  
Second – Hold on tight to the handle (if there is any). 
  
Third – Lean your back and head against the wall forming a straight line. 
  
Fourth – Bend your knees 
  

Reason – When the lift falls, you will not know when it will hit the ground, and it may result in whole body bone fracture. 
  
Point 1 – When the emergency electricity supply is being activated, it will stop the lift from falling further. 
  
Point 2 – It is to support your position and prevent you from falling or getting hurt when you lost your balance. 
  
Point 3 – Leaning against the wall is to use it as a support for your back/spine as protection. 
  
Point 4 – Ligament is a flexible, connective tissue. It can be attached to the bone part of the activities, but limit the scope of their activities in order to avoid injury.  
Thus, the impact of fractured bones will be minimised from the severe pressure during fall. 
  
For everyone, do send out this piece of information to all!

Recognising Stroke Symptoms

Blood Clots/Stroke - They Now Have a Fourth Indicator, the Tongue
 
STROKE: Remember the 1st Three Letters....S.T.R.

STROKE IDENTIFICATION

It only takes a minute to read this...

A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough.

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

Thank God for the sense to remember the '3' steps, STR. Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke.

Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

S *Ask the individual to SMILE.
T *Ask the person to TALK and SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (i.e. It is sunny out today)
R *Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call emergency number immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

New Sign of a Stroke -------- Stick out Your Tongue.

NOTE: Another 'sign' of a stroke is this: Ask the person to 'stick' out his tongue.. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other, that is also an indication of a stroke.

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this e-mail sends it to 10 people; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. 
 
I have done my part. Have you?

Dengue Fever Remedy

I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the ICU when his blood platelet count drops to 15 after 15 liters of blood transfusion.

His father was so worried that he seeks another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he gave his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. From a platelet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his platelet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised. After the second day he was discharged. So he asked me to pass this good news around.

Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. So two tablespoon per serving once a day. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like "Won Low Kat". But it works.

*Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue*

You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.

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 increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!!

Amazing but it's true. It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the level of heat in one's body, thus the fever will go away. I found that it's also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heat.

Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases. It's great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients.

Furthermore it's so easily available.
Blend them and squeeze the juice! It's simple and miraculously effective!!
