Benefits of eating sweet potatoes


The other day I was writing about eating papaya.  Now take a look at the humble sweet potatoes.

Sweet potatoes used to be very cheap during my childhood days.  Sweet potatoes were so cheap that they were called the poor man's food.  But not anymore.  Today sweet potatoes are considered one of the super foods packed with powerful cancer-preventive nutrients.  One of the most powerful antioxidant, called  anthocyanin is found in the purple sweet potatoes.

Papaya : More than meets the eye




The humble papaya is so common here in Malaysia that we take it for granted.  We all know a thing or two about the benefits of eating papaya.  However it seems that papaya has powerful anti-cancer properties.

The most important substance is lycopene, a powerful antioxidant capable of killing cancer cells.

The orange pinkish color of papaya is due to the presence of carotenoids, notably beta carotene and lycopene. These are antioxidants and are effective cancer-fighting agents.

Huaxi : China's richest city; where everyone is rich and secure.

Large range map of Huaxi


Huaxi is hailed as the richest city of China.

Looks like you never have to worry about old age, sickness, children's education, employment and security.  Everything is "free" in this "new age" village.

To be fair to everyone, you work 7 days a week, just like everyone else in Huaxi.  But it's a holiday lifestyle.  So no one is complaining.  The only condition is that if you leave Huaxi, you also leave everything behind.  Yes every cent or in this case, every yuan you earned in Huaxi.  But everyone is happy to stay for good.

China boleh-lah!  (Malaysian way of saying "thumbs up") 

Sit back and find out below.  Perhaps you may want to join them.  Sorry, you have to be a Chinese citizen first.

The pencil and the eraser


Remember what the pencil-maker told the pencil?
Now the pencil is feeling sorry for  the eraser. 



Pencil: I'm sorry
Eraser: For what? You didn't do anything wrong.


Pencil: I'm sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I made a mistake, you're always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.

Eraser: That's true. But I don't really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I'll be gone and you'll replace me with a new one, I'm actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.

I found this conversation between the pencil and the eraser very inspirational. Parents are like the eraser whereas their children are the pencil. They're always there for their children, cleaning up their mistakes. Sometimes along the way, they get hurt, and become smaller / older, and eventually pass on. Though their children will eventually find someone new (spouse), but parents are still happy with what they do for their children, and will always hate seeing their precious ones worrying, or sad.

All my life, I've been the pencil. And it pains me to see the eraser that is my parents getting smaller and smaller each day. For I know that one day, all that I'm left with would be eraser shavings and memories of what I used to have.

********************************************************************

Are you always the pencil in this instance?  I think most of us are like the conventional pencil with an eraser attached to its end.  Sometimes we are the pencil, and at times we are the eraser.  As time goes by, not only the eraser gets smaller, the pencil itself also gets shorter!  If we can behave ourselves, we don't have to erase and rewrite.  This will  prolong the pencil as well as the eraser!

Zaid quits PKR


The Staronline reports :
PETALING JAYA: Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has decided to quit PKR, saying he has had enough of recent turn of events in the party.


I think most people are now sick of PKR.  PKR also admits that it is at a "disadvantage" if elections are held now.  What can I say?  Well, BN will shoot me if they can.  Maybe ISA. 

I already knew the devil in BN.  My mission is to kill the known devil at all costs.  My mission is to vote out BN in the next election.  It is not who to vote at this unfortunate scenario, but who to vote out.  So my motto and mission is Don't vote for BN.  That's it. 

We'll deal with the other devils in due course.

Aung San Suu Kyi is freed!

Aung San Suu Kyi is freed, at least for now.  New hope for Myanmar!

An update on my comment :
Bow,

It is quite disturbing that the crowd could get so close to her. One lady could even grab her and kiss her. And she stood high infront of her gate facing thousands of supporters.

This is very distressful for me. It is very very dangerous to expose her like that.

The pencil



This viral email has returned again.  It has a very poignant message:

A PENCIL MAKER TOLD THE PENCIL 5 IMPORTANT LESSONS JUST BEFORE PUTTING IT IN THE BOX :


1.) EVERYTHING YOU DO WILL ALWAYS LEAVE A MARK.

2.) YOU CAN ALWAYS CORRECT THE MISTAKES YOU MAKE.

3.) WHAT IS IMPORTANT IS WHAT IS INSIDE OF YOU.

4.) IN LIFE, YOU WILL UNDERGO PAINFUL SHARPENINGS,

WHICH WILL ONLY MAKE YOU BETTER.

5.) TO BE THE BEST PENCIL, YOU MUST ALLOW YOURSELF

TO BE HELD AND GUIDED BY THE HAND THAT HOLDS YOU.

We all need to be constantly sharpened. This parable may encourage you to know that you are a special person, with unique talents and abilities. Only you can fulfill the purpose which you were born to accomplish. Never allow yourself to get discouraged and think that your life is insignificant and cannot be changed and, like the pencil, always remember that the most important part of who you are, is what's inside of you.

******************************************
Now let's see what the pencil has to say...

Zaid quits all posts in PKR.


The Staronline reports:
Datuk Zaid Ibrahim has quit the PKR deputy presidential race saying the party "leadership actively condone malpractices and electoral fraud to achieve its designed objectives." "I wish to announce my withdrawal as a candidate from the contest of deputy president of Parti Keadilan Rakyat and my resignation from all posts held in the party," said Zaid in a statement Monday.


This is bad news.  If Anwar Ibrahim chooses to continue his "hidden" game plan I think he is making a terrible mistake, which will even adversely affect all of us, politically.  Look at the mediocre results of the latest by-elections.   Pakatan, very much depends on the support of the "fence-sitters".  Put your act together, Anwar Ibrahim.  The political climate is not in your favour right now.

Myanmar's sham election


The Staronline reports:
Myanmar held its first election in 20 years on Sunday under tight security, a scripted vote that assures army-backed parties an easy win but brings a hint of parliamentary politics to one of Asia's most oppressed states.


This is a sham election tainted with political fraud.  Free Aung San Suu Kyi first.  This evil regime will one day collapse.  The question is not "can it?" but "when?"  The two most oppressed regimes today are Myanmar and North Korea.  We hope the day will come when the peoples of the two countries can be free again.

Malacca NOT confirmed a developed state : OECD


OECD has confirmed that it has NOT endorsed that Malacca is a developed state.  That also confirms my initial gut feeling that something fishy was going on. Please refer to my earlier post HERE.

Strangely the OECD representative Jon Hall was present in Malacca for that "official announcement" that Malacca was a developed state!!??  How come??

Who are having the last laugh, and who are now looking like fools?

Malacca Boleh!?

Soursop : The Cancer Killer


I am sure you would have read this in your email.  it has been circulating for quite some years now.  I have received this email umpteen times.  Lately I did a bit of internet search on this topic about soursop and its cancer killing potency.  Apparently every part of the tree has medicinal values, including the bark, roots, seeds and especially the leaves!  I will also be planting this tree in due course! 

Below is the "copy & paste" of the viral email version.  If you are interested to know more about this wonder fruit, please go to my Hubpages article : Click Here


Guyabano, The Soupsop Fruit

The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.

Why are we not aware of this?

Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time.

The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects.

If you have the space, plant one in your garden.

The other parts of the tree are also useful.

The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

This tree is low and is called graviola in Brazil , guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name "soursop" in English.

The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects.

Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest.

This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it's the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.

The truth is stunningly simple:

Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival.

The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:

* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss

* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections

* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment

* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America 's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's!

What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing...

Extracts from the tree were shown to:

* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..

* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!

* What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells.

It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched--

so why haven't you heard anything about it?

If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be--

why doesn't every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health--

and for many, our very lives(!)--are controlled by money and power.

Graviola--the plant that worked too well

One of America 's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds- -have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.

Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties-- and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree--it's completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There's no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to

synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer ingredients.

If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they'd be able to patent it and make their money back.

Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated.

There was no way the company could protect its profits--or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt.

Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed.

Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed:

When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola, they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree.

Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and its shocking cover-up--came in fast and furious....

....The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976.

The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells." Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public...

...Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials-- the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment's value- -were ever initiated..

A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin.. ."

....The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.

Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

...A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers...

Seven years of silence broken--it's finally here!

A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous people in Brazil , is finally available in America .

The full Graviola Story--including where you can get it and how to use it--is included in Beyond Chemotherapy:

New Cancer Killers, Safe as Mother's Milk, a Health Sciences Institute FREE special bonus report on natural substances that will effectively revolutionize the fight against cancer..

From breakthrough cancer and heart research and revolutionary Amazon Rainforest herbology to world-leading anti-aging research and nutritional medicine, every monthly Health Sciences Institute Member's Alert puts in your hands today cures...... the rest of America --including your own doctor(!)--is likely to find out only ten years from now.
