Causing illness through kulam and barang

Live healthy and long

It is more fun when you are healthy
 



Repost from Benedictus Sanctum on kulam and barang

Kulam, vodoo from Wikipilipinas

From Filipino Sorcery - gayuma at orasyon

From Angel Fire


Some illnesses could not be explained by medical science.  And some say that evil, witchraft could be behind this?  I suspend my judgement.  But having been in the Visayas, stories abound about babaylan, (even movies feature this), kulam and barang.  (Barang is having insects inflitrate your body causing untold of injuries and suffering.)  Do you believe?

Kulam are negative magic which causes other people to be ill.  It is attributed to the devil.  Religion, religious incantations are considered cures vs kulam

There could be barang and witches when you believe.

It is more fun when you are healthy and you do not spend much

 Curing with your spittle (a la Jesus Christ)


From Tinabanana blog - usog

Do you believe in "usog" female network discussion

What is nausog or balis from Yahoo answers

Do you believe in usog, ie that somebody whom you met, caused you upset stomach or abdominal pain.? And you are requested to massage the affected part with you spittle?  True.  But sometimes, the affected person writhes and complains great pain.  After you rub your spittle on the affected area, the person just suddenly gets well.

The Secret to a "Safe" Cup of Coffee according to Steve Miller, a neuroscientist, and chronopharmacoloyg

                                   

Drink your coffee early in the morning.  Not late in the afternoon.  Late in the afternoon coffee forces cortisol into your body which leads to:

Anxiety,

Aging

and even sex drive.

Drink coffee early on to stimulate you just right

Subject: The Secret to a "Safe" Cup of Coffee

From Univesity Herald - the best time to drink coffee is between 930 to 1130 am

From the Blaze, study by Steve Miller a neuroscientist;  and related to the study of chronopharmacology (ie level of cortisol level during the day following the circadian rhythm)

I love my coffee in the morning. I love the ritual of going down to the kitchen in the morning, and how the house smells after brewing that first cup. And the buzz definitely helps me get going. And I'm not alone. In fact, an astounding 80% of Americans use the caffeine in coffee to boost their energy. But here's the thing... if you drink too much throughout the day, coffee's energy lift can boomerang on you. Here's what I mean. If you keep drinking into the afternoon, the coffee you rely on for energy may actually be making you MORE tired. Eventually that can lead to anxiety and burnout. I'll explain how that happens in a minute. But let's put this in context. There are great reasons to enjoy coffee. For one thing, it's full of antioxidants. And researchers have identified over 1,000 other compounds in coffee that promote health. Today I'll let you in on my secret to safely indulging in coffee's pleasures. And I'll show you how to get the health benefits while avoiding the downside. You see, I recently discovered that WHEN you drink coffee might be more important than HOW MUCH you drink. Caffeine Puts You In a State of High Anxiety When you're fatigued you naturally look for a stimulant to energize you. If you take a shot of caffeine it stimulates your adrenal glands to release the stress hormone, cortisol. That's your fight or flight hormone. Cortisol tells your body there is an emergency NOW. It alerts all systems to get ready for action - either running for your life or defending yourself to the death. And it releases a huge energy boost in the form of sugar to get you through this life-or-death situation. In other words, caffeine activates your stress hormone, and releases blood sugar. Now if you drink a steady stream of caffeine throughout the day, your adrenal glands are constantly pumping out cortisol. That keeps your body in a steady state of high alert. And that can take a real toll on your organs and other systems. You see, when cortisol levels are high, all of your energy and blood flow shifts to your muscles. Your heart beats harder and faster. But your body shuts down other "non-essential operations" like digestion. Studies show that over time, chronically elevated cortisol lowers your immunity. It also makes you anxious and disrupts your sleep. Your food cravings spike and weight gain increases. High cortisol levels also accelerate the aging process and kill your sex drive. All of that adds up to more fatigue and exhaustion, not the energy you were looking for. But don't worry. You don't have to give up coffee. Here's what to do. Drink Coffee When The Time Is Right The secret to enjoying coffee without too many of the harmful effects is all in the timing. You see, cortisol levels have a natural daily cycle. Your body releases cortisol in the morning to get you moving. It's a kind of survival tactic. As your cortisol levels gently rise in the morning to wake you up, your liver gets the signal to release stored blood sugar. Now you have energy to get going in the morning. The same thing happens when you drink caffeine and raise cortisol. The secret is drinking coffee when the effects of caffeine are in line with your body's natural release of cortisol.  As the day wears on, your cortisol levels naturally decrease. But if you continue to drink caffeine after 12 noon, you'll be fighting your body's natural rhythm. In the afternoon, drinking caffeine will force more cortisol into your bloodstream. It's this unnatural surge of cortisol late in the day that can trigger all the negative health effects. So you don't have to give up caffeine. Enjoy it in the morning. If you really love coffee and want to drink it later in the day, switch to decaf after noon to keep your body aligned with its natural daily cycle. Wishing you strength and vitality, Jason Kennedy

Blood Thinner Antidote Stops Dangerous Bleeding: Study  November 18, 2013

From Empr - Boehringer Ingleheim announces antidote to Praxada

Many US hospitals rejecting insurers under the new US Health Care (Obamacare)

Live healthy and long

From Newsmax

                                      

Many top rated hospitals are rejecting many insurers under the new Health Care (Obamacare plan) that kicks this October 2013.  Even govt hospitals, community hospitals are rejecting some of the insurers.  As a result, patients have to either:  fork out payments out of the pocket, drive to some community hospitals, way out who accept the insurers.

Some hospitals, like the John Hopkins, are required by state laws to accept all insurers

The rejection is on account of lower caps set by the insurers.  So there is a trade off between cost and quality.

How to fight cancer and win?! The HZ cancer treatment by Dr. Joseph Gold

Live healthy and long

                                       

Cancer is  a top killer (1, 200,000 would be diagnosed with Cancer and half of them would succumb to cancer) and has made many widows and orphan. Here is a book that will give you guidelines on how to Fight cancer and win   Some of the cures come from food, fruits, vegetables and other food supplements found in the house. The eggplant could be used to treat skin cancer.

What is the real cancer killer?  It is not cancer at all.  It is called cachexia ie that of cancer cells eating off other cells. If we could only stop this process..

Dr Joseph Gold, a retired US Air Force doctor found out how... There is a cheap substance called HZ HZ does the following:   1.  Keeps cancer from growing   2.  Reverses tomorrow growth   3.  Shrinks tumor to 1/2 the original size.  But Dr. Joseph Gold discovery of HZ has been buried and govt regulators have something to do with this -  keeping natural cancer cures away from public eye, and pharma synthezing chemicals to mimic action of natural ingredients.  ( The truth about HZ therapy) It was indicated that govt agencies have reversed the findings on HS, and their conclusions are inaccurate.

The Syracuse Cancer Research Institute founded by Dr. Joseph Gould and the Russian scientists in 1975,  under the joints US-USSR agreements totalling 17 years of studies,  and 10 years of Harbor UCLA studies have shown that of the one million late stage, refractory cases,  more than half a million would have symptomatic improvement and 400,000 would  have more than 10 years of survival and 5 to 10% complete survival rate and this better than 3% cure rate of chemo.

There are other secrets to treating cancer   1.  The tea that repels cancer 2.  the vitamin cancer repelling ingredient in apricot kernels  (hey too much of that is poisonous)  3.  cancer obliterating mushrooms,    4.  250 times stronger than chemo natural food anti cancer.

Millions of Americans would lose coverage under Obamacare

From Newsmax Health - Millions would lose coverage under Obamacare

 

              

 

Should it rather be called Un- Affordable Health Care Act?

 

Despite the repeated statements by Pres Obama that no one would lose coverage under the new Obamacare, estimates has it that roughly 40 to 60% of Americans would lose coverage under the new law because most of existing insurace do have the minimum coverage under the Affordable Health Care act:   maternity, mental health care.   This high minimum has prompted many insurance companies to raise their premium

 

This is what the President said:

  If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. If you like your healthcare plan, you'll be able to keep your healthcare plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."

 

The President apologized yesterday because the insurance companies raised the rates 

The Obamacare roll out woes (a botched website) has rattled many Democrats who are for reelection and even joined the Republicans call for the deferment of the signature law under Pres Obama -  the Affordable Health Care Act.  Republicans are still licking the wound after the nearly 17 days of govt shutdown and now sees an opening for a renewed attack

However the rates for the insurance has shot up dramatically.  

George Schwab, of NC, 62 had a $228 plan with Blue Shield, but in September, he got a letter saying that the said plan is  no longer available.  A comparable plan will set him back by $1, 208 with a $5,500 deductible.  About 80% of individuals will not be able to afford the new insurance.

 

And besides, how long does it take to get medical treatment under a socialized health care?

 

               

 

 

                    

                               Is socialized health care good for Canadian patients?
