Wiki post on mananambal

Yesterday I watched the TV show which featured Siquijor  There are many weird and interesting things about Siquijor like their food and practices.  There are those who are well known, as babaylan sorcerers or witches and they are feared.  Then there are those who practice black magic  There was this guy who was good in dancing paper, but who is now a "mananambal" a medicine man  (the magic he practices are simple like stick becoming a match, or joining cut nylon.

But the mananambal said he could make the dead rise, but would not talk, and that the dead who rose from the dead would also die.

There was this Norwegian who was completely cured of his painful condition of psoriasis

Cheap cures that are skin deep

So far this site has only done this much for cheap cures:

1.  Gathering articles about alternative herbal and plant cures;

2.  Advice on how to live healthy and strong;

3.  Advice on food, nutrition and exercise.

These are when diseases that are mortal and morbid or has not stricken patient.  But it does no explore the hard core of medicine and health issues:   as when the patient is critically ill or in sticken with big C all ready. Or heart disease Intervention and cures cost money.

So it is now time to take stock of the situation and act.

What is happening?

Ebola death surpasses 2,000

Live healthy and long



From KFF Organization through Reuters September 8, 2014

Deaths from Ebola has surpassed the 2,000 mark and the number of cases at 4,000.   The number of deaths was only 1.200 two weeks ago.

We should prepare and be aware.  Death rate from Ebola is 50%.  IT HAS NO KNOWN CURE!!!

Health experts expect that the number of cases could rise exponentially  in the coming weeks.  No sign of abatement or containment is visible...

This is attributed to lack of sturdy public health facilities in these West African nations

Many are also amidst terrorists attack and civil unrest.

From health impact news daily

Tomorrow marks the 9/11 infamous attack on World Trade Center.  But elsewhere inside the US further onslaught is being committed vs. US War veterans.

The veterans doctors in order to treat them for the PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) are being treating the soldiers with a cocktail of psychiatric drugs which according to some practicing psychiatrists are harmful and dangerous.  Side effects could range from suicidal and violent tendencies, tremors, , inability to urinate and more.

Instead of helping the veterans, many are pushed further into abyss and sometimes death.
