FRUIT ENZYME CAN PREVENT CANCER

2010-02-28T16:04:00.017+08:00

MAKING APPLE ENZYME

For the apple enzyme, we need:
-20 green apples
-6 lemons
-500 g organic sugar(brown sugar)

The steps:

(1) Wash the fruits and let them air dry.

(2) Wash the jars, knife, peeler, chopping board and air dry them.

**It’s important to have everything dry without water, to prevent contamination, growing mold or bad bacteria.

(3) When everything is dry, you can start peeling the apples and lemons and cut them into slices.

(4) Lay one layer of the apple slices in the jar, one layer of sugar, one layer of lemon slices, one layer of sugar, and continue this process until the jar is full.

(5) Close the jar and put it at a corner without direct sunlight.

(6) You should see bubbles forming on the second days.

(7) On the third day, open the jar to let the bubbles out.

(8) Close back the jar and let the fermentation goes on for another 2-3 weeks.

(9) Sieve the liquid out and you can use the remnants to make jam or drink.

23 WAYS TO USE TEA

2010-02-28T15:27:00.005+08:00

For Health and Beauty

1)Cool sunburned skin
What can you do when you forget to use sunscreen and have to pay the price with a painful burn? A few wet tea bags applied to the affected skin will take out the sting. This works well for other types of minor burns (i.e., from a teapot or steam iron) too. If the sunburn is too widespread to treat this way, put some tea bags in your bathwater and soak your whole body in the tub.

2)Relieve your tired eyes
Revitalize tired, achy, or puffy eyes. Soak two tea bags in warm water and place them over your closed eyes for 20 minutes. The tannins in the tea act to reduce puffiness and soothe tired eyes.

3)Reduce razor burn
Ouch! Why didn't you remember to replace that razor blade before you started to shave? To soothe razor burn and relieve painful nicks and cuts, apply a wet tea bag to the affected area. And don't forget to replace the blade before your next shave.

4)Get the gray out
Turn gray hair dark again without an expensive trip to the salon or the use of chemical hair dyes. Make your own natural dye using brewed tea and herbs: Steep 3 tea bags in 1 cup boiling water. Add 1 tablespoon each of rosemary and sage (either fresh or dried) and let it stand overnight before straining. To use, shampoo as usual, and then pour or spray the mixture on your hair, making sure to saturate it thoroughly. Take care not to stain clothes. Blot with a towel and do not rinse. It may take several treatments to achieve desired results.

5)Condition dry hair
To give a natural shine to dry hair, use a quart (liter) of warm, unsweetened tea (freshly brewed or instant) as a final rinse after your regular shampoo.

6)Tan your skin with tea
Give pale skin a healthy tan appearance without exposure to dangerous ultraviolet rays. Brew 2 cups strong black tea, let it cool, and pour into a plastic spray bottle. Make sure your skin is clean and dry. Then spray the tea directly onto your skin and let it air-dry. Repeat as desired for a healthy-looking glowing tan. This will also work to give a man's face a more natural look after shaving off a beard.

7)Drain a boil
Drain a boil with a boiled tea bag! Cover a boil with a wet tea bag overnight and the boil should drain without pain by the time you wake up next morning.

8)Soothe nipples sore from nursing
When breast-feeding the baby leaves your nipples sore, treat them to an ice-cold bag of tea. Just brew a cup of tea, remove the bag, and place it in a cup of ice for about a minute. Then place the wet tea bag on the sore nipple and cover it with a nursing pad under your bra for several minutes while you enjoy a cup of tea. The tannic acid in the wet tea leaves will soothe and help heal the sore nipple.

9)Soothe those bleeding gums
The child may be all smiles later when the tooth fairy arrives, but right now those bleeding gums are no fun whatsoever. To stop the bleeding and soothe the pain from a lost or recently pulled tooth, wet a tea bag with cool water and press it directly onto the site.

10)Relieve baby's pain from injection
Is the baby still crying from that recent inoculation shot? Try wetting a tea bag and placing it over the site of the injection. Hold it gently in place until the crying stops. The tannic acid in the tea will soothe the soreness. You might try it on yourself the next time an injection leaves your arm sore.

11)Dry poison ivy rash
Dry a weepy poison ivy rash with strongly brewed tea. Simply dip a cotton ball into the tea, dab it on the affected area, and let it air-dry. Repeat as needed.

12)Stop foot odor
Put an end to smelly feet by giving them a daily tea bath. Just soak your tootsies in strongly brewed tea for 20 minutes a day and say good-bye to offensive odors.

13)Make soothing mouthwash
To ease toothache or other mouth pain, rinse your mouth with a cup of hot peppermint tea mixed with a pinch or two of salt. Peppermint is an antiseptic and contains menthol, which alleviates pain on contact with skin surfaces. To make peppermint tea, boil 1 tablespoon fresh peppermint leaves in 1 cup water and steep for several minutes

14)Around the House
Tenderize tough meat
Even the toughest cuts of meat will melt in your mouth after you marinate them in regular black tea. Here's how: Place 4 tablespoons black tea leaves in a pot of warm (not boiling) water and steep for 5 minutes. Strain to remove the leaves and stir in 1/2 cup brown sugar until it dissolves. Set aside. Season up to 3 pounds (1.5 kilograms) meat with salt, pepper, onion, and garlic powder, and place it in a Dutch oven. Pour the liquid over the seasoned meat and cook in a preheated 325°F (165°C) oven until the meat is fork tender, about 90 minutes.

15)Clean wood furniture and floors
Freshly brewed tea is great for cleaning wood furniture and floors. Just boil a couple of tea bags in a quart (liter) of water and let it cool. Dip a soft cloth in the tea, wring out the excess, and use it to wipe away dirt and grime. Buff dry with a clean, soft cloth.

16)Create "antique" fashions
Soak white lace or garments in a tea bath to create an antique beige, ecru, or ivory look. Use 3 tea bags for every 2 cups of boiling water and steep for 20 minutes. Let it cool for a few minutes before soaking the material for 10 minutes or more. The longer you let it soak, the darker the shade you will get.

17)Shine your mirrors
To make mirrors sparkle and shine, brew a pot of strong tea, let it cool, and then use it to clean the mirrors. Dampen a soft cloth in the tea and wipe it all over the surface of the mirrors. Then buff with a soft, dry cloth for a sparkly, streak-free shine.

18)Control dust from fireplace ash
Keep dust from rising from the ashes when you clean out your fireplace. Before you begin cleaning, sprinkle wet tea leaves over the area. The tea will keep the ashes from spreading all over as you lift them out.

19)Perfume a sachet
Next time you make a sachet, try perfuming it with the fragrant aroma of your favorite herbal tea. Just open a few used herbal tea bags and spread the wet tea on some old newspaper to dry. Then use the dry tea as stuffing for the sachet.

20)In the Garden
Give roses a boost
Sprinkle new or used tea leaves (loose or in tea bags) around your rosebushes and cover with mulch to give them a midsummer boost. When you water the plants, the nutrients from the tea will be released into the soil, spurring growth. Roses love the tannic acid that occurs naturally in tea.

21)Feed your ferns
Schedule an occasional teatime for your ferns and other acid-loving houseplants. Substitute brewed tea when watering the plants. Or work wet tea leaves into the soil around the plants to give them a lush, luxuriant look.

22)Prepare planter for potting
For healthier potted plants, place a few used tea bags on top of the drainage layer at the bottom of the planter before potting. The tea bags will retain water and leach nutrients to the soil.

23Enhance your compost pile
To speed up the decomposition process and enrich your compost, pour a few cups of strongly brewed tea into the heap. The liquid tea will hasten decomposition and draw acid-producing bacteria, creating desirable acid-rich compost.

COLLECTION OF FUNNIEST VIDEOS

Laughing therapy has been practiced in western clinics for a long time. One of the International Laughing Society congresses (Birmingham) has given evidence of facts referring to tumors: patients who are regularly made to laugh have a higher percent of treatment results.

People who laugh a lot have a 40 percent lower risk of having cardiovascular diseases than sad people. This fact has been proved during a research. It seems like we don't pay too much attention to such a serious therapeutic method of treatment as laughing. But laughing therapy is more and more popular all over the world.

Humans have copied the first "threatening" smile from animals: Take for example the threatening "smiles" of tigers and the teasing smiles of monkeys. Laughing has appeared as unloading after a dangerous game, when the primitive man, protected by the stony walls of his cave, realized that he can tease a tiger with a smile without any bad consequences for himself.

Laughing whyen it isn't funny: The analgesic effect of laughing has been showed in many studies. This is especially available for the relief of chronic pain in arthritis, spine lesions, neurological diseases etc. Some doctors think that laughing brings about the secretion of endorphins into the blood - biological active substances with analgesic action. More than that, it is known that laughing is a strong muscle-relaxing method, which also relieves pain.

Virus fighting: Our immune system's reaction to laughter is quite opposite to its reaction to stress. People who like to laugh a lot rarely get sick – this is a proven scientific fact. An experiment has even showed that mothers who laugh a lot have babies who seldom catch cold!

Laughing lowers blood pressure: Laughing can also be called "inner jogging". Like in common morning jogging, the blood pressure increases and then it gradually lowers till it gets lower than the initial blood pressure. A person with hypertension, however, should not consider experimenting - laughing isn't a method of intensive therapy.

Laughing your lungs out: As a matter of fact, laughing is a type of respiratory gymnastics. It corresponds to the Sanskrit name of "hasya-yoga". "Ho-ho" goes from the abdomen (diaphragm), "ha-ha" goes from the heart or from the thorax, "hi-hi" – from… the third eye. It would be perfect to learn and use all these types of laughing with therapeutic purposes, but the most important laugh today is considered to be the deep one, the so-called guffaw.

Sugar melting: Laughing is considered to be a method of fighting stress (it inhibits the secretion of 4 main stress hormones). Recently, Japanese scientists discovered that laughing directly influences glucose level in the blood.

Weight loss: Greek researchers have found through an experiment that 10-15 minutes of laughing burn from 10 to 40 calories, which leads to almost 4.5 lb (2 kg) weight loss per year.

It is known that men laugh more intensely than women do. The longest continuous laugh "attack" has lasted 45 seconds.

HAVE YOU TRY NONI JUICE?

2010-02-23T11:11:00.006+08:00

THE BENEFIT OF 99ISLANDS OF LANGKAWI NONI JUICE

Noni is an evergreen shrub or small tree that grows throughout the tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean, from Southeast Asia to Australia and especially in Polynesia.

Common Names—noni, morinda, Indian mulberry, hog apple, canary wood

Latin Names—Morinda citrifolia

The noni fruit fails to have an appealing odor and taste. Majority of the parts of the plant, namely the leaves, roots, stems, flowers, fruits and bark are used. Noni health benefits are attributed to a few phytochemicals, which are present such as anthraquinones, octoanoic acid, damnacanthal, scopoletin, rutin, caproic acid, terpenoids and ursolic acid

What It Is Used For

Noni has been traditionally used in Polynesia as a dye, but it also has a history of use as a topical preparation for joint pain and skin conditions.
Today, people drink noni fruit juice as a general health tonic, as well as for cancer and chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Health benefits of noni include relief from skin infection, cold, mental depression and high blood pressure. Other benefits include protection from degenerative diseases, such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and asthma. It also exhibits anti bacterial properties, due to the presence of alizarin, acubin and L-asperuloside.

Pain Relief

Noni juice can be used to alleviate pain and inflammation. While typical pain medications block all the enzymes---the ones causing pain responses and the ones with healing powers---noni juice not only protects stomach, kidney and liver cells from the harmful effects of drugs, it also encourages the healing enzymes to continue their work. Because of this, you can use noni juice to improve your recovery after a workout and to alleviate joint and muscle discomfort caused by arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Body Imbalances

Adaptogens are substances that balance different body systems. Noni juice is one of 12 adaptogens, actually a premier adaptogen. In addition, noni juice lowers the acidity of body chemistry. This creates more alkaline environment in your body and helps the body fight against diseases and maintain healthy tissues. Noni juice also works with the serotonin and melatonin levels in your body to improve your sleep cycles and your energy levels and to regulate your mood cycles and your body temperature.

Disease Treatment

If you have allergies, noni juice can help you with your symptoms. Noni juice supports your immune system by boosting it, and the juice also regulates it by controlling the common symptoms of allergic and auto-allergic responses. Noni juice also has phytonutrients, which help your body maintain healthy blood pressure levels, and its antioxidants help neutralize free radicals in your body and prevent DNA damage that can cause cancers. Noni juice enhances the fighting power of white blood cells against several diseases, such as cancer, and it also has the ability to disrupt the blood networks supporting cancerous tumors.

Anthraquinones are certain antibacterial compounds present in the noni roots. Fresh noni fruit gives a pungent odor, which is stronger, as it ripens. Certain processing technique such as juicing, dehydration, pureeing and so on result in the loss of nutrients, by the process of evaporation. Lyophilization or freeze drying of noni fruit preserves the nutrients and prevents microbial degradation. The fruit is also beneficial for individuals with constipation problems. It also exhibits anesthetic, fungicidal and analgesic activity

How It Is Used

Traditionally, the leaves and fruit of noni have been used for health purposes.
Today, the fruit is most commonly combined with other fruits (such as grape) to make juice. Preparations of the fruit and leaves are also available in capsules, tablets, and teas.

What the Science Says

In laboratory research, noni has shown antioxidant, immune-stimulating, and tumor-fighting properties. These results suggest that noni may warrant further study for conditions such as cancer and cardiovascular disease. However, noni has not been well studied in people for any health condition.
Recent NCCAM-funded research includes a study on noni for cancer to determine its safety and potential effects on tumors and symptoms. The National Cancer Institute is funding preliminary research on noni for breast cancer prevention and treatment.
Since November 2004 our Noni juice has been approved by the FSA in accordance with the Novel Food Regulation (EC) No. 258/97. As it has been registered with the European Union, our Noni juice can be distributed throughout entire Europe.

Since November 2004 our Noni juice has been approved by the FSA in accordance with the Novel Food Regulation (EC) No. 258/97. As it has been registered with the European Union, our Noni juice can be distributed throughout entire Europe.

Side Effects and Cautions:

Noni is high in potassium. People who are on potassium-restricted diets because of kidney problems should avoid using noni.
Several noni juice manufacturers have received warnings from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration about making unsubstantiated health claims.
Although there have been few reported side effects from using noni, its safety has not been adequately studied.
There have been reports of liver damage from using noni. It should be avoided if you have liver disease because it contains compounds that may make your disease worse.
Tell your health care providers about any complementary and alternative practices you use. Give them a full picture of what you do to manage your health. This will help ensure coordinated and safe care.

TAKE NOTE :
If an individual hasn’t been drinking at least 8-10 cups (1 cup = 8 oz.) of pure water a day, there is a good chance that their body is toxic. Drinking water flushes toxins from the body and if we don’t drink enough, our bodies will store the toxins in the cells, leading to problems with allergies and intolerance to numerous things. It can cause the body to be oversensitive since the levels of toxins are so high that the least increase may cause major problems. Since Noni causes the cells to release toxins into the blood stream, drinking noni juice without an appropriate amount of water can cause strong reactions. So, if an individual hasn’t been drinking enough water prior to drinking noni juice they should begin by drinking 8-10 cups of water for 3 to 4 days prior to starting on noni juice.

DO PROTEIN SHAKES HAVE SIDE EFFECTS ??

2010-02-22T18:42:00.004+08:00

Protein shakes are used by health buffs, athletes and body builders to enhance performance, lose weight or to supplement nutrition. Protein is seen as a vital nutrient for building skin, bone and, most important, muscle. Protein shakes come in a wide variety of flavors, with nutritional content ranging from 100 percent protein to a little amount of protein with high amounts of carbohydrates and sugar. A normal serving of protein is less than 40g per meal. If you go beyond that, there is a danger of experiencing side effects--some of which could be deadly.

Osteoporosis

Protein shakes are a protein-rich food. They make blood more acidic. Your body will try to neutralize the acid by pulling calcium from the bones, which can weaken the bone structure and possibly cause breaks and fractures. Researchers at the University of California at San Francisco studied 9,000 women and found that women who consumed foods with a higher level of acidity, such as meats and hard cheeses, had nearly four times more hip fractures than those who didn't. A diet high in protein, such as from protein shakes, can directly contribute to frail bones or osteoporosis.

Kidney Stones

Large amounts of calcium in the blood due to excessive protein consumption can cause calcium deposits to form, creating what we call kidney stones. These tiny, crystallized deposits normally pass through the urine stream with an enormous amount of pain and can be accompanied by lower abdominal pain, night sweats, blood in the urine and night fevers. Insufficient hydration can also be a major factor in developing kidney stones.

Ketosis

With an unbalanced diet--such as too much protein and not enough carbohydrates--the body can go into a state known as ketosis. This is starvation mode, in which the body breaks down fat into ketones--which it then uses as an alternative to glucose for fuel. Some medical professionals believe that ketosis is a dangerous state that is extremely hard on the liver, and may be potentially life-threatening. Other doctors, particularly those who believe in low-carbohydrate diets, disagree with this conclusion and say that ketosis is beneficial for the body.

Dehydration

According to a study done at the University of Connecticut by the Department of Nutritional Sciences, hydration of the body is directly affected by how much protein is found in your diet. Researchers found that higher levels of protein meant an increased amount of nitrogen in the blood, indicating abnormal kidney function. The students who had high-protein diets had more concentrated urine, yet felt no change in thirst. Based upon their findings, the researchers recommend that anyone on a high-protein diet consume greater amounts of water than the average recommendation of 8 to 10 glasses per day in order to avoid dehydration.

Food Allergy

The most common food allergy to worry about with certain protein shakes or supplements is lactose intolerance. If you are lactose intolerant, taking whey protein can cause unpleasant side effects such as bloating, upset stomach and cramps. The best way to avoid these side effects is to take whey protein isolate, which contains less than 1 percent lactose, or find a brand with no lactose. Some brands extract the lactose from the whey to make it safer for people with food allergies. The best way to avoid all side effects of protein shakes and excessive protein consumption is to eat a balanced diet, drink more than 8 glasses of water a day and limit protein to less than 40g per serving.

COMMON FOOT PROBLEMS

2010-02-20T18:13:00.013+08:00

Bunion

A bony bump at the base of the big toe, a bunion causes that toe to deviate toward the others. Throwing foot bones out of alignment and producing the characteristic bump at the joint's base, a bunion can be very painful due to pressure or arthritis, and may also lead to corns. Pain relievers, pads to cushion the bunion, custom shoe inserts, or surgery may help, as will wearing roomy shoes and avoiding high heels.

Corns and Calluses

Friction causes the thick, hardened, dead skin of corns and calluses, which form to protect sensitive skin. Appearing cone–shaped, corns point into the skin, and usually occur on areas that bear little weight. Calluses may appear anywhere there's friction, and are more diffuse. Both may be caused by ill–fitting shoes and will fade when friction stops. Moleskin pads can help relieve a corn; calluses can be trimmed or surgically corrected

Gout

A form of arthritis, gout is characterized by sudden pain, redness, swelling, and stiffness, usually in the large joint of the big toe. Gout can also occur in the foot, ankle, or knees. and is caused by too much uric acid (UA) in the blood, which can form hard crystals in joints. Attacks can last days or weeks, and may be treated with anti–inflammatories or UA–lowering medication. Talk to your doctor about diet changes that help break down UA

Plantar Warts

Plantar warts are tough, horny growths that develop on the soles of the feet. Contagious, they're caused by a virus entering through broken skin, and often spread via public pools and showers. Plantar warts are harmless and can be left untreated, but in many cases they're too painful to ignore. Topical salicylic acid may help, while burning, freezing, laser therapy, and surgical removal are more aggressive options for more severe cases.

Athlete's Foot

A fungal infection that can cause peeling, redness, itching, burning, and sometimes blisters and sores, athlete's foot is mildly contagious, passed by direct contact or by walking barefoot in areas such as locker rooms, or near pools. The fungi then grow in shoes, especially tight ones without air circulation. Athlete's foot is usually treated with topical antifungal lotions or oral medications for more severe cases.

Fungal Nail Infection

Occuring when microscopic fungi enter through a break in the nail, a fungal infection can make your nails thick, discolored and brittle. If left untreated, the nail infection won't go away — and can be hard to treat. Thriving in warm, wet places, the fungi can be spread from person to person. Topical creams may help mild cases but antifungal pills are your best chance of curing a severe infection.

Hammertoe

When toe muscles get out of balance, they can cause painful toe problems. While some people are prone to hammertoe, other risks include tight footwear. Hammertoe generally causes the middle joint of the toe to bend downward, with toes appearing raised near the foot. Well–fitted footwear with the correct amount of space in the toe box, shoe supports, and surgery may offer relief.

Ingrown Toenail

A toenail that has grown into the skin, an ingrown toenail can result in pain, redness, swelling, even infection. Cutting nails too short or not straight across, injury to the toenail, and wearing tight shoes are culprits. For mild cases, soak the foot in warm water, keep it clean, and wedge a small piece of cotton under the corner of the ingrown nail to lift it off the skin. Minor surgery can remove all or part of the nail.

Flatfoot (Pes Planus)

Flatfoot is characterized by the sole of the foot coming into complete or near–complete contact with the ground. It may be inherited, caused by an injury, or by a condition, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Flatfoot symptoms are rare, though weight gain, ill–fitting shoes, or excessive standing may cause pain. Treatment includes foot–strengthening exercises, and shoes with good arch support or orthotics.

Emotional Freedom Technique

2010-01-27T18:12:00.005+08:00

Basic Steps to Your Emotional Freedom

The 7-Part EFT Manual:

What is the Emotional Freedom Technique?

The Emotional Freedom Technique, or EFT, is the psychological acupressure technique I routinely use in my practice and most highly recommend to optimize your emotional health. Although it is still often overlooked, emotional health is absolutely essential to your physical health and healing - no matter how devoted you are to the proper diet and lifestyle, you will not achieve your body's ideal healing and preventative powers if emotional barriers stand in your way.

The following information provides an overview of the EFT technique to give you a sense of how this amazing "tool" works. But bear in mind that by far the best instruction for this powerful technique is visual/audio instruction. When you are ready to tap into EFT's full potential, an outstanding (and economical!) investment is the book and DVD on learning EFT called, "Try It On Everything."

Find Out More About Try It On Everything Now!

EFT is very easy to learn, and will help you:

Remove Negative Emotions
Reduce Food Cravings
Reduce or Eliminate Pain
Implement Positive Goals

EFT is a form of psychological acupressure, based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and emotional ailments for over five thousand years, but without the invasiveness of needles. Instead, simple tapping with the fingertips is used to input kinetic energy onto specific meridians on the head and chest while you think about your specific problem - whether it is a traumatic event, an addiction, pain, etc. -- and voice positive affirmations.

This combination of tapping the energy meridians and voicing positive affirmation works to clear the "short-circuit" - the emotional block -- from your body's bioenergy system, thus restoring your mind and body's balance, which is essential for optimal health and the healing of physical disease.

Some people are initially wary of these principles that EFT is based on - the electromagnetic energy that flows through the body and regulates our health is only recently becoming recognized in the West. Others are initially taken aback by (and sometimes amused by) the EFT tapping and affirmation methodology, whose basics you will learn here.

But keep in mind that, more than any traditional or alternative method I have used or researched, EFT works. I have witnessed the results in my patients since deciding to use EFT exclusively in June of 2001. Indeed, because of its very high rate of success, the use of EFT has spread rapidly, and medical practitioners employing EFT can now be found in every corner of the country and world.

This manual will provide an overview on how and where to tap, and the proper affirmation techniques, so that you can begin using EFT immediately to help yourself and others. It will also provide an introduction to some advanced EFT techniques and principles you can employ. If you are interested in taking your EFT knowledge and practice to the next level, please consider Try It On Everything for the incredible benefits that they can provide you.

BUDU IS A MIRACLE FISH SAUCE

2010-01-05T06:28:00.016+08:00

Budu (Malay language) is a fish sauce fermentation which is very popular and even idolized by the people from the state of Kelantan, in the East Cost of Malaysia. It is refers as an ancient food of Kelantan since the recipe had been passed from one generation to another generation.The cuisine later on being spread to all over Malaysia especially its neighbour Trengganu and southern Thailand.

Budu is one of the diversity of fish sauces fermented or produced in other part of Asia. It is quite similar to the patis in Philippines, ketjap-ikan in Indonesia, ngapi in Burma, nuoc mam in Vietnam, ishiru or shottsuru in Japan, colombo-cure in India and Pakistan, yeesu in China and aekjeot in Korea.

The basic fermentation process is the same all though there could be variations in the type of fishes used and the recipes followed. Anchovy is the main type of fish used in making budu
due to its high quality budu production compare to other types of fish.

It is traditionally made by mixing fish and salt in the range of ratio of 2:1 to 6:1 depending on how salty you want it to be. Palm sugar and tamarind are usually added to promote the hydrolysis of fish and microbial proteases and resulting in dark brown color.The ratio of fish to salt plays an important key in the final desired product. The different concentration of salt influences the microbial and enzymatic activity, resulting in different flavors. Later, it was being fermented for at least 200 days to one year or more, depending on the producer, as to maintain its quality and enhanced the flavour.The microorganisms found during Budu production are generally classified as halophilic. These microorganisms play important roles in protein degradation and flavor-aroma development.

The quality of the budu depends on a lot of factors such as the type of fish being used., the proportion of salt being used, duration of fermentation and of course the acidity of the fermentation process. There are of course variations in the recipes for budu fermentation depending on each manufacturer

In bigger scale,the fermentation were carried out in cement tanks or fibre glass tanks of 1.2 metre high and 2 metres wide. All the thanks must be exposed under sunlight inorder to get the ultra violet rays that can promote the formation of good bacteria.

BLUE MOON ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

2009-12-31T22:10:00.005+08:00

BLUE MOON ON NEW YEAR'S EVE:
Believe it or not, tonight's full Moon is a "Blue Moon." It's the second full Moon this month and the first Blue Moon to fall on New Year's Eve in nearly 20 years. Sounds like a rare excuse for a party...

There's more. In Europe, Africa and Asia, the Blue Moon will dip into Earth's shadow for a partial lunar eclipse. At maximum eclipse, around 19:24 Universal Time, approximately 8% of the Moon will be darkly shadowed: animated preview.

Blue Moons are rare (once every 2.5 years). Blue Moons on New Year's Eve are rarer still (once every 19 years). How rare is a lunar eclipse of a Blue Moon on New Year's Eve?

A search of NASA's Five Millennium Catalogue of Lunar Eclipses provides an approximate answer. In the next 1000 years, Blue Moons on New Year's Eve will be eclipsed only 11 times (once every 91 years). A year of special note is 2848 when there will be two lunar eclipses in December--on Dec. 1st and Dec. 31st. Such a double-Blue Moon-lunar eclipse ending on New Year's Eve appears to be a millennium-level event. That's rare.

Go outside and enjoy the moonlight!

SUNSPOT SURGE: 2009 is ending with a flurry of sunspots. Indeed, if sunspot 1039 holds together for the rest of today (prediction: it will), the month of December will accumulate a total of 22 spotted days and the final tally for the year will look like this:

The dark line is a linear least-squares fit to the data. If the trend continues exactly as shown (prediction: it won't), sunspots will become a non-stop daily occurance no later than February 2011. Blank suns would cease and solar minimum would be over.If the past two years have taught us anything, however, it is that the sun can be tricky and unpredictable. Stay tuned for surprises.

DEJA VU? EVERYONE HAS EXPERIENCED IT!!

2009-12-25T22:50:00.018+08:00

What is déjà vu?

Have you ever had that uncanny feeling of ‘I have been here before’ even though it was the very first time you have been to a place? This feeling is popularly dubbed as déjà vu (French for ‘already seen’) and it describes the experience of feeling that one has witnessed or experienced previously, an entirely new situation.

Everyone has experienced the unsettling mystery of déjà vu--that flash of memory when you meet someone new you feel you've known all your life or recognize a place even though you've never been there before.

A THEORY ON THE DEJA VU

For many years, psychologists have known of the phenomenon of Déjà Vu, where a patient is absolutely convinced that a first visit to an area seemed like a place already familiar and known.

During the time while this web-page has been on the Internet, more than two thousand people (up to Nov 2006) have e-mailed to say that they have Deja Vu experiences. That is interesting, but their descriptions have virtually always described some different phenomenon. If a person has any pre-knowledge of something that is yet to happen, like in a dream, it cannot be Deja Vu, and is likely to be some type of Precognition. (Even if the Precognition is only a few seconds before the event.) A person cannot know that a Deja Vu experience is coming, and also, it is also always sensed as INSTANTANEOUS, as being a sudden realization that an experience "was somehow familiar".

This last part effectively eliminates Deja Vu from occurring in any place that the person has already been! The problem is that your mind has countless thousands of memories in it of all the days of all the previous years that you have lived, and, simply to maintain your sanity, your brain "forgets" most of them, even though they are still recorded somewhere in your brain. These "forgotten memories" are a well-known phenomena in all of us.

So, if you are in a familiar environment, and you get a feeling that you "had experienced this before" the reality MIGHT be that you actually had! When your brain sees a PATTERN in an experience, it seems to have the ability to "suddenly remember" forgotten memories which happened to have a very similar pattern in them. This can therefore SEEM like it is a deja vu experience, of that spooky familiarity, but where the explanation is very mundane, simply a forgotten thought from three years earlier. Because forgotten memories are so common in us, then IF you are in a familiar environment when you get a sensation that you think might be deja vu, it is actually far more likely that it was simply a forgotten memory instead.

Therefore, the credibility of a deja vu as being valid generally hinges on it being in an environment or situation that you HAVE NEVER POSSIBLY EXPERIENCED EVER BEFORE. Thus the described requirement of a new place. Yes, a deja vu COULD also occur in a familiar situation, but there is so strong a possibility that it would be a forgotten memory that any credibility as an actual deja vu must generally be dismissed.

Now, YOU certainly believe that you can remember ALL the experiences you have ever had, and that there could not possibly be any forgotten memories in you! You are probably wrong about that! You may be familiar with Oprah Winphrey's situation. For many years on her TV program, she had conversations with girls and women who had been raped, and she often expressed her feeling that she could not possibly know what they had gone through. But eventually, Oprah had had forgotten memories re-appear to her, and she came to learn that SHE had been raped (repeatedly, as I recall) as a child! She found it astounding that she had not ever known that had happened to her! The most traumatic event that could ever happen to a young girl, and she had had absolutely no (conscious) memory that it had ever happened to her! In such extreme cases, the human mind seems to have the ability of CREATING a hysterical amnesia, so the person is able to proceed with life without having to be destroyed by such constant memories. There are many thousands of well-documented cases of such blanked-out memories, of war-time experiences, of rapes, of incidents where the person had accidentally caused serious injury or death of a dear relative or friend.

So our minds are definitely CAPABLE of absolutely eliminating some memories from our consciousness. But what I am more directly addressing here is that our minds also USUALLY find it desirable to forget MOST of the mundane activities of our daily lives! We are all chock full of forgotten memories!

Here is a hypothetical example of Deja Vu, assuming that you are not an Eskimo! On your first trip EVER to some desolate village in northern Alaska, you are invited into an igloo. The moment you are inside, and see everything, you suddenly feel that you "already knew" where everything was. Specifically, you notice something that you consider unusual, but sense that you somehow were familiar with that elk leg or whatever. You obviously could not have known, but you have an instantaneous sensation that you "must have already been there" even though you know that was impossible. Notice that you do NOT know what is in the next room, before you actually go there. (If that pre-knowledge occurs, it would be Precognition.)

Here is another potential example of what an actual deja vu might be. You are driving cross-country, and have never been to Utah before. You stop for gas, and need to use their restroom. As you enter, you find a full-size fireplace INSIDE THE BATHROOM! Now, no one expects to see a large fireplace inside a public bathroom, so it would be an experience that you probably had never experienced in any OTHER bathroom! And you had certainly never been to THIS one. And yet, immediately AFTER this experience, you have the weird sensation that you had "been there before". THAT would be a Deja vu. Notice that you did not "predict" seeing anything unusual, EVEN A SECOND AHEAD, and that you only had the Deja vu sensation AFTER actually seeing it. And that you could not possibly convince anyone that you had previously experienced that, because any listener would insist it was impossible. (If you had ANY pre-knowledge, even a second earlier, it could not actually be a Deja vu, and would probably be some sort of Precognition).

In order for it to be a credible Deja vu experience, it needs to be some experience that is clearly different from any forgotten memory you might have had, which generally also means something truly surprising. (Our brains have millions of such forgotten memories, like of smells or songs or old friends, which seem to be able to get triggered sometimes, and that is NOT Deja vu.)

Déjà vu is different from various similar phenomena such as Precognition [where a person has a premonition of some future event] or Clairvoyance [where a person comes to know about some simultaneous event a long distance away] or assorted other unusual phenomena.) Modern science does not have adequate explanations for ANY of these apparent phenomena.

A NEW WAY TO ROAST PUMPKIN SEEDS

2009-12-15T07:53:00.010+08:00

Seeds of Change: A New Way to Roast Pumpkin Seeds
Roasted pumpkin seeds are crisp bursts of flavor, and one of my favorite autumn snacks. And if our Beyond Wonderful photographer does not get here soon, you won’t know what they look like because I can’t stop eating them.

Until recently, I could take or leave pumpkin seeds. Some of my batches were too salty while others were unevenly roasted (meaning lots of chewy, spitable stuff). That changed on my recent trip to Dan Avakian’s produce market, where I stocked up on roasting pumpkins. I told Dad about my mediocre seeds and asked what I should do. Incredibly, he revealed a method that not only yields consistently scrumptious seeds, but also requires only half an hour in the oven. I told Dan that I was skeptical about this quick method—several of my friends slow-roast their seeds in a 200-degree oven for hours. Dan said, “That’s way too long for me. I’m too impatient. This works.” Armed with my new knowledge, I headed home and got to work.

There is no set recipe for roasted pumpkin seeds since your amounts will differ each time you make them. But follow these simple instructions and you’ll master the process quickly.

How To Roast Pumpkin Seeds

Here’s the ultimate trick for one of October’s greatest treats:

1.Place the seeds in a zip-top bag and sprinkle with salt. (No need to worry about cleaning them first—any clinging pulp will get rinsed away later.) Seal the bag and squish to distribute the salt. Store in the refrigerator for 3 days.

2. Remove the seeds from the bag and place them in a colander. Run cool water over them, using your hands to remove any bits of pumpkin.

3. Place the seeds on a pizza pan with holes, or a baking sheet.

4. Pat the seeds dry with a paper towel or clean kitchen towel.

5. Toss them lightly with melted butter or olive oil.

6. Sprinkle the seeds with your favorite herbs and spices. Do not add salt at this point, or the seeds could become inedible.
Toss the seeds to coat evenly.

7. Place the seasoned seeds in a preheated 325-degree oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Check the seeds halfway through the process to prevent burning.
Remove the pumpkin seeds from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasonings.

8. Cool completely, then serve or store in an airtight container.

HOW FAR YOU KNOW ABOUT GHOST?

2009-12-14T12:07:00.003+08:00

GHOST(demons, devils, negative energies, etc.)
Though neither visible to the gross eye, nor perceived by the other sense organs, mind and intellect are factors that affect all of mankind. The manifestations of distress due to ghosts or negative energies are varied, and can be from a person displaying uncharacteristic behaviour to erratic violent behaviour, addictions, various physical and psychological illnesses, family problems, business problems etc.

Where are ghosts found on Earth?
Ghosts exist in a variety of places on Earth. They can create a centre for themselves in living and non-living objects. By centre we mean a place where they store their black energy. The centre acts as an entry point and a point of receiving or transmitting their black energy. Ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) generally create a centre for themselves in people, trees, houses, electrical equipments etc. When they create a centre for themselves in people, it is to fulfill their desires such as eating, drinking, smoking, sex or to settle a give-and-take account. Since the ghosts are made up of the Absolute Air element, one cannot see them without subtle vision.

Ghosts are most likely to be found in the following places.

Human beings:

Ghosts exist around, on and in humans to satisfy their desires, to seek revenge, to settle their give-and-take account with those persons or to derive pleasure out of tormenting them. The ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) occupy any part of the physical body, mind or intellect of the person. This is commonly known as demonic possession.

The duration of demonic possession can extend for many years or across births. In most cases the person does not know that they are possessed or acting upon the wish of the possessing ghost (demon, devil, negative energy, etc.) or ghosts.

Whether the ghost resides inside or outside the possessed person or object is of academic importance. This is because the extent of control exerted by a ghost over a human is not related to whether they reside inside or outside a person.

Animals:
Ghosts are mostly found on animals. They rarely exist inside animals; however they do so when they want to trouble mankind through controlling them. The possessed animal would become wild and attack humans thus causing distress to them.

Some animals and birds such as dogs, horses, owls and crows are more sensitive to the presence of ghosts. When dogs are found barking or howling suddenly in the night without any apparent reason, it could be because they sense the presence of ghosts.

Vegetation:
Generally ghosts perch themselves on vegetation. Here again those trees whose frequencies are similar to those of ghosts are favoured. (Everything in the universe has a certain frequency. An aura is a manifestation of this frequency.) The tamarind tree as shown in the picture is a commonly known and documented example. Ghosts also frequent trees like the Indian fig tree (Ficus Indica) and the Holy fig tree.

Haunted objects:
Quite often persons after death continue to be attached mentally to objects that they used to like when they lived on Earth. Their subtle body loiters around items such as a favorite chair, property, etc.

For example, if a woman who has passed on is still attached to her diamond jewelery, then her mind loiters around the jewelery. Such objects are known as haunted objects. People wearing them can face a lot of distress if the subtle body for any reason is unhappy that they are wearing it. If the object is possessed by a ghost, the distress experienced by the person coming into contact with it or wearing it is even more due to the associated black energy of the ghost.

Haunted place:
When land is grabbed through violent means, if the victims die in the process, their subtle bodies haunt the place. They do not allow anybody to enter that area. They torment any trespassers. Such places are known as haunted places.

Haunted house:

In the above Post Optionsexample, with time some inhabitants of the house may lose their lives and their subtle bodies also haunt the premises. Later, even outsiders experience distress in the form of hearing voices or shrieks on new/full moon day or in the middle of the night. Then it is known as a haunted house.

Vehicle:
If a person has been murdered or has lost his life accidentally in a vehicle, his subtle body haunts the vehicle. This does not necessarily happen in every case. It also depends on other factors like the destiny of the person, his spiritual level, number of negative impressions, ego and nature of deeds during his lifetime etc.

When people repeatedly experience various forms of inexplicable distress either in or around a vehicle like feeling apprehensive, feeling a presence in or around the vehicle, vehicle going out of control etc., it is very likely that the vehicle is affected by a ghost.

Roads:
In many cases of fatal road accidents, the subtle bodies of the dead persons involved in the accident haunt the place. Angered by their own death, they cause other motor accidents. Many of the subtle bodies of these victims frequent that part of the road. Over time their number keeps on swelling and accidents take place very frequently. Unless steps are taken at a spiritual level to liberate these subtle bodies from this attachment, the accidents continue despite any efforts to curb them at a physical level. This is why some spots are very accident prone despite being on a relatively straight stretch of road along with clear signs about being an accident prone site etc.

Some people build small memorials at such sites in the memory of the deceased. In doing so, the subtle body of the person becomes attached to the accident site memorial. Due to this the subtle body’s further progress to its destined subtle region is hampered. As a result that subtle body experiences distress.

Police stations:
The subtle bodies of inmates who have succumbed to police torture haunt the cells to a great extent. This is one of the reasons one does not feel pleasant in police stations where such deaths have occurred.

Jails:
Subtle bodies of many of those who were unjustly hanged haunt the jails.

Hospitals:
The subtle bodies of many of those who die after struggling for life in a hospital haunt the premises. The presence of these subtle bodies or those who have become ghosts creates an environment of negativity. This affects the ailing person as well as their attending or visiting relatives and friends. The effect of this negativity could manifest in a delayed healing process, etc. Some vulnerable patients, their visitors or hospital residents may be affected or possessed by ghosts during their stay in the hospital without their knowing.

Cemeteries and crematoriums:
Many a time subtle bodies of those whose funeral rites are inadequately done, frequent the area. This is one of the reasons most people feel uneasiness, heaviness, tiredness, etc. after being to such places. However, most of the times it is attributed to psychological reasons alone.

When people repeatedly experience various forms of inexplicable distress, around a place, person or object, it is very likely that the place, person or object is affected or possessed by a ghost.

Feelings of distress include:
*feeling of apprehension,
*feeling a presence,
*feeling like one's entire energy is being sucked out etc. or
*repeated mishaps happening in a certain place, without any apparent reason.

The actual presence of the ghosts is however evident only to those with an activated sixth sense. The ghosts there cause distress to those who come in the vicinity or possess them, especially those who are vulnerable psychologically (i.e. anxious, depressed) or spiritually (i.e. low spiritual level, already affected or possessed by ghosts).

5. What can we do to protect ourselves against ghosts?
Regular spiritual practice helps to build spiritual strength and this in turn becomes our protective armour against attacks by ghosts. Before entering haunted areas one needs to pray to God for protection. Along with this by continuously chanting the Name of God according to one’s religion of birth we enhance God’s protective sheath around us.

Some people think, “I should stay away from finding about ghosts etc., then they will not bother me.”

To these people, SSRF stresses that it is very important to be educated about the presence of ghosts and how one can protect oneself against their influence. Being in the dark or having an ostrich like attitude about their presence does not exclude us from their harmful effect. On the contrary, it becomes easier for ghosts (demons, devils, negative energies, etc.) to affect such people as due to their ignorance, they do not take appropriate precautions to protect themselves.

THE MAIN CAUSES OF THE PROBLEMS

2009-12-09T08:04:00.008+08:00

Modern sciences attribute the cause of a problem to being either physical or psychological. Hence we go looking for the cause and remedy only in these two areas.
Most of us are unaware of the spiritual factors that are the root cause of 80% of the difficulties in life for the simple reason that they are beyond the understanding of our five senses, mind and intellect. Whether a particular difficulty has a spiritual root cause along with its details can be known for sure only through the medium of a highly activated.

Ignorance about the existence of the spiritual dimension and knowing its role in our difficulties will frustrate attempts to fully overcome the difficulties.

In order to overcome a difficulty completely, we need to first correctly understand its root cause. Only when the correct and complete diagnosis has been made, by going to the root of the difficulty, can the appropriate remedy be given

Breakdown of the root cause of difficulties in life

20% Psychological and/or physical
30% Spiritual, Psychological and/or physical
50% Purely spiritual in nature

Hence, up to 80% of our problems have their root cause in the spiritual realm.

In this way, problems that have their root cause in the spiritual realm can either be resolved or we get the strength to endure them.

EXAMPLES OF SUPERFICIAL CAUSES AND ROOT CAUSES OF PROBLEMS IN OUR LIVES:

Problems that affect individuals or families

Case study 1: Marital problems

Problem: Depression
Cause: Marital disharmony
Remedy: Sort it out themselves or go to marriage counselor
Actual root cause: Problems caused due to ancestors that have passed away. In Malay communities known as SAKA

Spirits of ancestors who have passed away can cause marital disharmony, which in turn leads to depression. Thus the root cause of depression is caused by subtle bodies of ancestors. To solve our problem,we must get rid the influence from our life through the experts and the spiritual practices.

Case study 2: Chest pain
Problem: Chest pain

Cause: Cardiac neurosis

Remedy: Psycho-therapy
Actual root cause: Block in the Kundalini i.e. the spiritual energy flow system.

If we suffer from chest pain, we are asked to undertake a battery of tests including an electrocardiogram (ECG), chest x-ray, blood tests etc. If nothing comes up in the test results, doctors may well say it is a case of cardiac neurosis, which is chest pain arising due to psychological conflicts.

What could be the spiritual root cause for chest pain?

Chest pain that is recurrent and which cannot be treated by modern sciences generally have their root cause in the spiritual realm.

A spiritual reason why this could happen is that there is a block in the spiritual energy flow system in the body. The blockage is generally due to a lack of spiritual practice.

Case study 3: Financial problems

Problem: Financial crunch

Cause: Major losses in business-due to poor staff output

Remedy: Call in a business consultant to help with restructure and strategy
Actual root cause: Effect of distressing energies in the premise or incorrect placement of factory equipment.

A person going through a financial crunch may attribute it to major losses in business due to poor staff output and may get a consultant in to help.

What could be the spiritual root cause for poor staff output?

Unexplainable losses in business despite the best effort could be due to distressing energies in the factory premise.

In any enclosed house there is an energy that resides in it. Depending on the architecture and the placement of furniture and machinery bad vibrations can be created. This may in turn result in lack of efficiency of workers and discord among workers

2009-11-21T10:14:00.003+08:00

Onion Syrup
Simple home recipe for a child's cough
Mild enough for children, but strong enough for an adult.

A cough is the body's response to inflammation or irritation in the throat, larynx, bronchial tubes or lungs. There are two basic kinds of coughs, congested and dry, with each one having different underlying causes. For a congested cough* try this recipe.

Materials

* Onion
* Sugar (or Honey)
* Glass Jar

Preparation

1. Cut a medium onion in half and then slice in 1/4" pieces.
2. Break into parts and layer one part onion and one part sugar in the glass jar.
3. Mash the onion up with the end of a spoon to begin juice extraction
4. Let the preparation sit over-night or for 3 to 4 hours until a syrup is formed.

Dosage

Give your child one teaspoon of syrup (half onion juice and half sugar) every few hours or as needed for relief of frequent coughing.
Some Tips about Coughs
*Congested Coughs

A barking cough - bronchitis or croup
A high-pitched cough - your vocal cords are involved and the airways have become narrowed
A wheezing cough - asthma and/or bronchitis
A loud, gasping cough with difficulty getting air - whooping cough

* Try our remedy above or see this link for more information

Dry Coughs

A dry cough will be raspy and without phlegm

THE INNER SMILE

2009-11-21T09:58:00.003+08:00

Taoist Inner Smile Meditation
Preparation For The Inner Smile
* Wait at least an hour after eating to begin the practice.
* Choose a quiet spot. Later on (as you become more experienced) you will be able to practice almost anywhere with any noise.
* Dress warmly enough not to be chilled.
* Sit comfortably near the edge of your chair with your feet flat on the floor. Keep your back straight, but not stiff. Stay relaxed, and clasp your hands together in your lap, left palm on bottom, right palm on top.
* Close your eyes and become aware of the soles of your feet. Feel their connection to the ground and the energy of the earth.
* Create a source of smiling energy up to three feet in front of you. This can be an image of your own smiling face, or of someone or something you love and respect, or any memory of a time in which you felt deeply at peace, perhaps feeling sunshine, being by the ocean, or walking in a forest.
* Become aware of the midpoint between your eyebrows through which you will draw this abundant smiling energy in front of and around you. Let your forehead relax, and allow the Third Eye to open. As the smiling energy accumulates at the mid-eyebrow, it will eventually overflow into your body.
