Treatment for joint and stomach pain

I received the following slide presentation today.

痛風救星請多 多宣傳 功德

Since it is in Mandarin and I could not read to understand what it is fully about, I did a search and discovered the same slide posted on YouTube with the following information:

Extracted: "I received these slides from Steffi Lee this morning, looks very promising. Drink 3 fresh coconut water every day for 3 weeks and the gout will be healed - you can eat anything! Also, drink Chinese tea make inside a green papaya will also heal stomach problems - Healed! Story in Cantonese sound track - 'Wisdoms Big and Small' by Vicky Tong."

Dr James Wong who shared it has included a moral story in Cantonese which is not related to the subject.

My search continues and I discovered a link to Hoax or Fact which verified it to be a fact that drinking tea brewed in water boiled with papaya is an effective treatment for gout, when taken frequently.

Here is the improved formula by Professor Lai from the China School of Pharmacy to stop joint pain found from the source of this information:

Ingredient:
Papaya
Tea
Water

Method
1) Cut green papaya into small cubes
2) place into the water
3) bring to boil
4) add tea leaves to hot water to brew.

Here is another method used by Mr. Liu Qing, the Chief of the Rende Town in Tainan, who use green papaya as a tea pot to brew the tea.

1) Select green papaya which are short but broader for larger capacity to hold tea.
2) Cut off the top part of the papaya to create at "teapot" cover and make a small ventilation hole on it.
3) Make a small opening at the top of the papaya.
4) Clear away the seeds.
5) Put in the tea leaves and pour in boiling water.
6) Place the "teapot" cover back on top of the papaya.
7) Use toothpicks to secure it on the papaya.
8) Allow tea to brew.

Mr Liu prefers the taste of Oolong tea in his green papaya "teapot" and was pleasantly surprised that the stomach pain he had suffered for many years was healed after a month of consumption.

ONIONS. Not for cooking only.

From My InBox:


>> ONIONS! I had never heard this!!!
>> PLEASE READ TO THE END: IMPORTANT
>>
>> In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor
>> that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the
>> flu...
>> Many of the farmers and their families had contracted it and many died.
>>
>> The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was
>> very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was
>> different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a
>> dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then).
>> The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the
>> onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he
>> did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously
>> absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.
>>
>> Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser. She said that several
>> years ago, many of her employees were coming down with the flu, and so
>> were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls
>> with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got
>> sick. It must work. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year
>> and we never got the flu.
>>
>> Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who
>> regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied
>> with this most interesting experience about onions:
>>
>> Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story...but,
>> I do know that I contacted pneumonia, and, needless to say, I was very
>> ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an
>> onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to the sick
>> patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from
>> the germs...sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a
>> mess and I began to feel better.
>>
>> Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed
>> around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have
>> powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.
>>
>> This is the other note. Lots of times when we have stomach problems we
>> don't know what to blame. Maybe it's the onions that are to blame.
>> Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are so good at preventing us
>> from getting colds and flu and is the very reason we shouldn't eat an
>> onion that has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open.
>>
>> LEFT OVER ONIONS ARE POISONOUS
>>
>> I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers
>> of mayonnaise. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to
>> share what I learned from a chemist.
>>
>> Ed, who was our tour guide, is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour,
>> someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People
>> are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will
>> surprise you. Ed said that all commercially-made mayo is completely
>> safe.
>>
>> "It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it,
>> but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise
>> is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment.
>> He then talked about the summer picnic, with the bowl of potato salad
>> sitting on the table, and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when
>> someone gets sick.
>>
>> Ed says that, when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the
>> officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where
>> those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the
>> mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade mayo) that spoils in the
>> outdoors. It's probably the ONIONS, and if not the onions, it's the
>> POTATOES.
>>
>> He explained onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially
>> uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced
>> onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and
>> put it in your refrigerator.
>>
>> It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a
>> bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those
>> onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!). Ed says if you
>> take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be
>> okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich,
>> you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a
>> potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any
>> commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.
>>
>> Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.
>>
>> Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to
>> cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night
>> and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections
>> because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.

Stroke - Symptoms and Prevention

From My InBox:

Three years ago I was struck down by a stroke. Three years later I am still stricken with the malady. In the beginning, I asked doctors about the condition and was told that there is no cure for stroke. . I asked about the symptoms and was told there are no symptoms meaning a stroke will attack a person suddenly, without warning. That is bad news, very bad news.

Following my own advice, I did not believe that. So, I thought back to my experiences and I found that there are plenty of signs that a person is susceptible to an attack of the deadly stroke. Hah! If you cannot cure it at least you can prevent it. That is what we should all do. We must choose to avoid the stroke or be condemned to consuming tons of pills whose veracity is questionable. How do we go about that, how can we prevent stroke. Will it be expensive? Will it be time consuming? Before we go into details let us first recognize the symptoms, the signs if you like.

More than thirty years ago, while reversing my car, I suddenly found that I could not move my right leg. It simply refused to obey me. I went to see a doctor immediately and all I got was two days medical leave. That was the first sign that I was heading for a stroke. After two days rest, I was back on my feet as if nothing had happened. I just put it down to work stress and physical and mental exhaustion. When I was afflicted with the stroke and certain parts of my body refused to obey me I realized that I had experienced that feeling before.

I will now endeavor to put down on paper, for you, the other signs so that you may recognize a potential victim before the stroke strikes and be able to take evasive steps to prevent it happening. These signs will be presented randomly as they come to mind.

1. When walking you stumble even on level ground.

2. You kick the legs of chairs and tables when you usually walk pass them effortlessly. 1 & 2 is because your legs are not as strong as they used to be although you do not realize it.

3. You sometimes find you cannot pronounce the 'ar' sound and it comes out as 'el', your speech is slurred and sometimes you drool.

4. The pen you are holding slips from your fingers. Holding up the newspaper can be a problem because your fingers have lost their flexibility. You think it is clumsiness when in truth it is not. It is caused by your muscles having lost their strength.

5. After sitting for some time you find that you cannot stand up as usual. You lose your balance and fall back onto the seat.

6. You also lose your balance when you squat and may find yourself sitting instead of standing up.

7. You are always sleepy even after a good night's sleep. This sleepiness is quite different from the usual tiredness you experience after a restless or late night.

8. Urinating has become a problem. Instead of a strong stream what you get is a trickle and this causes you to go to the toilet often.

9. Constipation becomes more frequent as your rectal muscles do not work well anymore.

10. Sometimes you will find you are forgetful and mental activities become difficult as your brain weakens through lack of nourishment. Blood is not getting through to your brain quickly enough.

Some of these signs will come and go, so much so that you do not take them seriously when they do occur. You tend to pass them off as signs of physical and mental stress and fatigue or in certain cases of aging. Since there is no pain you do not think it necessary to see a doctor. Anyway, the signs come on only momentarily and disappear almost at once. So that you think it is not anything serious and a visit to a doctor is out of the question, until it is too late that is. Then, it is the doctor who has to come to you. Another thing, the signs are similar to many other diseases and illnesses which are quite common. Seeing a doctor would be rather pointless, as far as a stroke is concerned, as you would only describe the symptoms you are experiencing at that particular moment.

Now we come to the important part of this discourse, how do we prevent stroke. What can we do or rather what should we do when these signs appear one by one. Let it be known that I am not a doctor and never in my dreams do I even pretend to be one. So what I am about to tell you is mostly from my own experience. Firstly, when you find that your body is not functioning as it should, that some parts are slacking and not obeying your brain as it normally does, you should start exercising. Go for long walks. Incidentally, you will experience immediate benefits even while exercising, such as clearer vision and mental alertness. Make it a habit to go for walks at least three times a week. Do not stop. I did go for walks but then I stopped when the symptoms disappeared. I made the mistake of not exercising for far too long and then it was too late. The stroke struck!

Remember, regular exercise is very important in promoting blood circulation. Of course, other forms of exercises will be just as good for you. One word of advise, exercises performed with the use of machines are not necessarily the best and that is why I advocate free hand exercises like walking, jogging and swimming.

Drinking lots of water helps immensely. Drink two glasses of water first thing in the morning every morning. Then drink one or two mouthfuls every half hour or whenever thirsty. This is to provide the blood stream with a regular supply of fresh water as our body gets rid of water all the time. We lose water when we breathe, sweat and urinate. Lack of water means poor blood circulation which can lead to stroke.

Eating proper foods is also important and I mean greens and fruits on a daily basis. Everything else can be enjoyed in moderation. A monk who practices healing advised me on certain foods to take to prevent the occurrence of stroke.

It is my pleasure to be able to share it with you here. He said that to prevent stroke I should drink a soup made of one cucumber and one red tomato. Boil them together, strain and drink one or two glasses daily. That will help prevent the blood from coagulating (or is it congealing?). Stroke affects the brain and the best remedy for it is egg yolk. The monk suggested I take the yolk from free-range chickens leaving out the white. The egg must be hard boiled. Consuming egg yolks is also recommended for elderly people as well as school children because it helps to nourish the brain and thus improves memory.

What do we do when someone is suddenly seized by a stroke? Chinese physicians will use a pin to prick the ends of the fingers and toes, all twenty of them, and squeeze out a few drops of blood from each prick. The logic is that by drawing blood one is stimulating the flow of blood. Think of it as unlocking a traffic jam. The needle must first be disinfected by putting it over a flame and wiped clean with tissue paper. Everyone and anyone can do this because there is absolutely no danger whatsoever. Wait, not everybody can do that. Oh? Yes, those people who are afraid of blood, else we will have two patients instead of one.

Okey, you are now as expert as I am in the matter of strokes. Share the information herein with anyone and everyone who is willing to lend you their ears. Perhaps, there will be less people afflicted with the dreaded stroke (slight shiver).

MAY YOU ALL ALWAYS BE WELL,
MAY YOU ALL ALWAYS BE HAPPY.

Rice Water Recipe to Control Diarrhea
http://www.oes.org/page2/3621~Rice_Water_Recipe_to_Control_Diarrhea.html

========================================================================

From My InBox:

With the recent cases on the Gelyang Serai food poisoning out break, I would like to share the info received from a friend. Pls read on, it may be of help...

When someone gets diarrhea, sometimes the solution is so easy, we wonder why anyone has to suffer. The secret is in rice water. This is already known in this region. Ask your maids -- Sri Lankan, Indonesian, Filipina and they would know about it.

(My mother) knew about it. When Dr Albert Winsemius came to Singapore for a farewell and thank you dinner in his honour, he brought along his wife Aly and his granddaughter, Jolijn. Both women came down with very bad gastroenteritis. They saw the doctor who gave them medication. It was slow to work.

Mother boiled some rice in lots of water and went to their hotel with two 1.5L bottles of rice water. I cringed in shame at the offer of this folk remedy, which seemed so primitive to me. Never heard of this cure before. To my surprise, it worked, and they were even able to go out for dinner the next day. Both were exclaiming how the rice water did the trick of making them well again. Well, lucky it worked, I thought to myself.

I was discussing this some years back with Kim Ng, the ex-matron of KK Hospital. She said, yes, that is what Professor Wong Hock Boon, the notable pediatrician teaches. I was shocked and made some comment how could he? It was common knowledge so what had he to do with it?

Many months later, I regretted laughing at it. Dr Christina Shanta Emmanuel, who is the CEO of...uh, which group I have forgotten. Either National Health Group, or Polyclinics, or whatever.. regarded me
seriously when I brought up the topic like it was good fun. She said that Prof Wong Hock Boon had presented a paper on it at some conference after he had done clinical trials. Then his results were published in the Lancet, the Medical Journal all doctors read. In fact, said Shanta, he was credited for saving the lives of 2 million African babies by this method.

Ah, so! I am impressed.

It is rice water and not rice that does the trick. I have found it effective again and again. You take a handful of rice and boil it in a large saucepan with lots of water. Like three or four large glasses. Then you cool that and drink the water. If you are in a hurry to relieve the ailing person, take the saucepan off the fire and dunk it in a frying pan or basin of cool water with ice cubes if necessary. This gives the patient a chance to drink the rice water sooner and cure himself or herself sooner.

When drinking the rice water, make sure there is lots of it. You have to tell the patient that enough water must go in to line your guts from throat to other end, all 10 to 12 metres of it. If you take rice, it stays in the stomach. If you take broth, some of it may go into the small intestine. But if you take rice water, it will carry rice grains to every inch of your small and large intestine to the end where the problem is.

How does it work? Even Prof Wong Hock Boon doesn't know. Read the attached file. Or go to


http://rehydrate.org/dd/dd06.htm#page2


It is good to pass on the news to everyone you know because the complaint is so common and people suffer unnecessarily. You would be doing your friends a great favour to relieve them of their misery when the occasion arises.

WHAT A BIRD!!!!

From My InBox:

From My InBox:

This is the kind of story you need when it seems like the world is
spiraling out of control.

Not many people get a picture of this proud bird snuggled up next to them

Freedom and Jeff
Freedom and I have been together 10 years this summer. She came in as
a baby in 1998 with two broken wings. Her left wing doesn't open all
the way even after surgery, it was broken in 4 place . She's my
baby.

When Freedom came in she could not stand and both wings were broken.
She was emaciated and covered in lice. We made the decision to give
her a chance at life, so I took her to the vets office. From then
on, I was always around her. We had her in a huge dog carrier with the
top off, and it was loaded up with shredded newspaper for her to lay
in.. I used to sit and talk to her, urging her to live, to fight; and
she would lay there looking at me with those big brown eyes. We also
had to tube feed her for weeks.

This went on for 4-6 weeks, and by then she still couldn't stand. It
got to the point where the decision was made to euthanize her if she
couldn't stand in a week. You know you don't want to cross that line
between torture and rehab, and it looked like death was winning. She
was going to be put down that Friday, and I was supposed to come in on
that Thursday afternoon. I didn't want to go to the center that
Thursday, because I couldn't bear the thought of her being euthanized;
but I went anyway, and when I walked in everyone was grinning from
ear to ear. I went immediately back to her cage; and there she was,
standing on her own, a big beautiful eagle. She was ready to live. I
was just about in tears by then. That was a very good day.

We knew she could never fly, so the director asked me to glove train
her. I got her used to the glove, and then to jesses, and we started
doing education programs for schools in western Washington . We
wound up in the newspapers, radio (believe it or not) and some TV.
Miracle Pets even did a show about us.

In the spring of 2000, I was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. I
had stage 3, which is not good (one major organ plus everywhere), so I
wound up doing 8 months of chemo. Lost the hair - the whole bit. I
missed a lot of work. When I felt good enough, I would go to Sarvey
and take Freedom out for walks. Freedom would also come to me in my
dreams and help me fight the cancer. This happened time and time
again.

Fast forward to November 2000, the day after Thanksgiving. I went in
for my last checkup. I was told that if the cancer was not all gone
after 8 rounds of chemo, then my last option was a stem cell
transplant. Anyway, they did the tests; and I had to come back Monday
for the results. I went in Monday, and I was told that all the cancer
was gone.

So the first thing I did was get up to Sarvey and take the big girl
out for a walk. It was misty and cold. I went to her flight and jessed
her up, and we went out front to the top of the hill. I hadn't said
a word to Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped
both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my
back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with
her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that
for I don't know how long. That was a magic moment. We have been
soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird.

On a side note: I have had people who were sick come up to us when
we are out, and Freedom has some kind of hold on them. I once had a
guy who was terminal come up to us and I let him hold her. His knees
just about buckled and he swore he could feel her power coarse through
his body. I have so many stories like that.

I never forget the honor I have of being so close to such a
magnificent spirit as Freedom.

Hope you enjoy this.

Jeff
