Health Quote by A. Cornelius Celsus

 Filed under: Health Quotes,Healthy Eating,Healthy Lifestyle — Vivienne Quek @ Jan 7th, 2010

Live in rooms full of light
Avoid heavy food
Be moderate in the drinking of wine
Take massage, baths, exercise, and gymnastics
Fight insomnia with gentle rocking or the sound of running water
Change surroundings and take long journeys
Strictly avoid frightening ideas
Indulge in cheerful conversation and amusements
Listen to music.

~A. Cornelius Celsus


 Coffee & Tea to prevent Diabetes

 Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle — Vivienne Quek @ Jan 2nd, 2010

If you like to have a cuppa of coffee or tea, you will be happy to know that coffee and tea drinkers have a lower risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.

BBC Health reported that they have looked at 18 separate studies and found that people who drink 3 -4 cups a day cut their risk by a fifth.

What’s Type 2 diabetes? It usually starts after one turn 40 and develops when the body can still make some insulin but not enough, or when the insulin that is produced does not work properly.

Identification of the active component in tea and coffee opens up new therapeutic options but one should never avoid exercising or keeping a healthy and balanced diet to stay pink.

Merry Christmas

From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all holidays filled with Love pouring out endlessly flowing back and forth between the hearts of you and your loved ones. I’ll leave you with this Christmas song:

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
>From now on

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
>From now on
our troubles will be miles away

Here were are as in olden days
happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more

Through the years we all will be together
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now

 Eat Fruits to Lose Fats

 Filed under: Healthy Eating,Healthy Lifestyle — Vivienne Quek @ Dec 15th, 2009

WatermelonIf anyone with the intention to lose fat and yet like to eat as much as they like, the only option is to select foods with fewer calories or with a lower energy density.

What is lower energy density? Food with high water and fiber content has low energy density. Eating such food will help you feel full  while you reduce your calorie intake and lose weight.

One low energy density food is fruit. However, only fresh fruits. Canned fruit usually came loaded with sweet and  heavy syrup, and that means high sugar content. Dried fruit, though a healthy choice,  has four times the energy density of fresh fruit. This is because they don’t have much water left in them.  Fresh and whole fruit has the least amount of calories and the highest amount of fullness and satisfaction.

Some fruits for your consideration are grapefruit, melons (watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew), berries (strawberries, raspberries and blueberries), papaya and peach.

 What do Cells need to survive & thrive?

 Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle,Water of Life — Vivienne Quek @ Oct 23rd, 2009

Three things cells need:

OXYGEN is the source of all energy in the body. This energy drives the metabolic processes in the body, such as assimilation, elimination of wasts, respiration, circulation and digestion.

WATER is the most abundant substance in the body. Water is used as a break down of substance, as a medium, for chemical reactions and for the diffusion and osmosis of substances.

The ability to eliminate its own WASTE

 Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle — Vivienne Quek @ Sep 20th, 2009

Glass of WaterTo know if you are dehydrated, here are 4 tell-tale signs

1. A dry mouth is the last outward sign o dehydration.

2. If you are thirsty, your cells are already severely dehydrated.

3. Your urine is dark or orange colour when you are severely dehydrated.

4. Your urine is yellow when you are somewhat dehydrated.

So, when you are hydrated, your urine is colourless.


 Welcome to Pain Free Life

 Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle — Doctor Bob Koh @ Aug 1st, 2009

Dear Friends

I’m inviting you to my Pain Management program in Singapore, and hope you to share with you how you can manage pain and not the other way around

Don’t let Migraines, Menstrual pain, Knee pain, Backaches, Neck & shoulder pain, Acute Headaches, & Sciatica/Nerve compression manage YOU!

Are you OR someone you care deeply about suffering from one of the above  pains?

Would you like to have a non-invasive remedy to get rid these pains permanently?

In this 4 hours, you will learn: -

 Swine Flu Meta-Physics & Meta-Cure

 Filed under: Cures & Treatments,Eczema,Healthy Eating,Healthy Lifestyle,Others,Stroke — pratik @ May 22nd, 2009

With pandemic stupidity defining a nations ‘well-preparedness’ by the amount of a nasty useless drug it has stockpiled – you may want to know that these allopathic medicines only concentrate bad ‘MicroVita‘ – the single fundamental cause of all diseases & disorders.

If you ever got cured of any disease or infection it was because of your own good microvita supply & inspite of whatever medicine you tortured your body with. Microvita are submicroscopic & sub-quantum living-growing-multiplying-dying entities.

While it is well known that all flu started with the mass-killer 1918-19 spanish flu what is not known is how it really started. As per nature’s law, thousands of dead bodies lying unattended during the 1914-18, attracted destructive agents from outside the earth to do what they did best – decompose those bodies as ‘the dead must decay’. They were the subtler microvita – the fundamental units of all life – but of the bad type.

They travel uninterrupted unstopped across all the worlds – for example in the form of bio-photons. Since then they have adopted our earth as their home as they really fell deeply in love with some of the herd-minded earthlings here : pig-minded pigs, bird-headed birds & both pig-minded + bird-headed of all humans as their well-deserved hosts.

Not killing such a gullible host ensures their survival as well – otherwise they would perish with the easy 2-legged prey once the infected body was fully disintegrated into it’s 5 basic elements.

Look at it this way : When viruses infect a cell – some of them don’t even have enter the cell fully, they leave their shell OUTSIDE the cell membrane; only their DNA/RNA & enzymes actually enters the cell. Does that mean DNA & enzymes are the fundamental units of life? Well actually not! They are both aggregated forms of even smaller types of microvita. DNA are records & only enzymes can read them. Enzymes get their proactive intelligence from the active microvita inherent in them.

In the face of any such attack, the ONLY meta-cure is to overwhelm the negative microvita behind it (in this case the AH1N1 strain of swineflu virus) with positive microvita ie supportive entities which can attack & destroy them.

But most people already have so much of disruptive microvita inside them that any infection with a comparatively trickier microvita aggregation like this new viral strain will just take them down easily without much of a fight. This was already the case with all the people who have succumbed so far, unfortunately.

Since our foods are the 1st gateway to all our microvita supply, do you think it may be of some use to wake up & choose our foods so that they increase the supply of helpful microvita while minimizing & eliminating the bad ones as much as possible. In my attempt to do that for myself I came up with the no-less-than-Miraculous MicroVita SuperDiet.

I have collated a ton of killer info there. As per NaturalNews.com -tamiflu also uses Star Anise – a common spice in asia – as the only credible source of whatever little efficacy it has. But since natural herbs can’t be patented, they gotta extract & repackage it into some crazy patentable concoction so that they can fleece all the sheeple of this big microvita world. Another ploy to suck up our tax money, Huh!

There are so many other traditional local herbs everywhere in the world that will fight any bloody foe for you, just for a few pennies. In our lingo, they are imbibed with good microvita.

Again as per Natural News, when millions died in 1919, the only cure that worked with almost 100% success rate were homeopathic medicines – Bryonia and Gelsemium – the viral intelligence, virulence & novelty not withstanding.

Here are few of the many others that work for flu : Oscillococcinum, Ferrum Phos, Rhus tox…

Get them prescribed, as appropriate, by a homeopathic Dr. if need be; but better still get prevented & better equipped internally.

With the real numbers crossing well over a 100k infections, truth indeed seem’s to be the 1st casuality. But please don’t let your goodself be the next one… nor even your loved ones.

I love you (& the poor Mexican swine as well!). We are all good microvita. :)

Happy Super-Dieting!

Suffering from Swine flu Brain-wash?


 Pain Management Workshop on 25 May 2009

 Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle — Doctor Bob Koh @ May 19th, 2009

Dear Friends:

“MASTER YOUR HEALTH”

A PAIN AND PAIN MANAGEMENT WORKSHOP

Is there really a long term solution for pain or will pain keep coming back after treatment.

By the time you reach 50, 2 out of 3 people would have suffer some form of pain, be it migraines, acute headaches, neck and shoulder pain, backaches, sciatica, knee pain etc. And yes ladies, you don’t even need to suffer menstrual pain.

Pain is a US$6 billion industry, so there must be a lot of people suffering from pain. Its only sooner or later you or your loved ones will suffer from some form of pain. So its good to learn about pain before it hits you.

If you aren’t able to find a healthcare provider who is experienced to find the root cause of your pain and treat the root cause, the pain will keep coming back at you.

A few friends have asked that I share my know-how in treating pain with their friends in Singapore on 25 May 2009. And they said I MUST to do it at a ridiculously low price of S$68 per pax and S$88 for 2 pax so that the message that pain is treatable and curable is spread wide and far.  This price is  definitely not economically viable nor sustainable as my friends only sought to cover venue costs! Basically, they wrestled me down to agree on the price. I like them to continue to be my friends, and I just had to agree.

I urge you to invite your loved ones or friends to register quickly even if you not from Singapore because I’m NOT going to do it at S$68 or S$88 for a second time.  Otherwise, it’s not fair to those who paid me a fee to conduct a talk or a seminar.  Do register at these links

for 1 person at S$68

for 2 person at S$88

If you are in any form of pain now, you have to register quickly before seats are gone.

Do not think, even for a minute, that pain is part and parcel of life. Or that pain is natural as we grow  older. Pain is created, or even be manifested on a long term basis that might lead to serious consequences,  if you remain ignorant. You or your loved one need not suffer or endure pain. Get yourself INFORMED,  get yourself INSPIRED through our “LIVE” practice for everyone in this seminar.

Through  this 3 hour workshop, your health and total well-being will improve when you understand:
- how to identify pains that you cannot ignore
- dietary secrets for a pain-free life
- blood circulation exercise that will keep you fresh and energetic the whole day
- immediate and effective pain remedies for those nagging discomforts
- other skills to fine-tune your body for optimum function

If you are from another city in our global village and can get 40-80 pax, I will come to your city. But please don’t ask for the ridiculously low price of S$68/- per pax.

Pls kindly alert all your friends to this event on

“Master Your Health” Workshop
Monday 25th May 2009

 Commercial Dog Food Can Poison Your Pet?

 Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle — Vivienne Quek @ Apr 19th, 2009

This is interesting as I was scouring the web for dog food and I came to Andrew Lewis’ website. He said his lively and healthy dog died. As if it wasn’t bad enough, he disclosed that it was he that had inadvertently poisoned and killed his 4-year old dog with commercial dog food.

In his website, he had this to disclose:

Leading dog-health author, Ann N. Martin, sums up the state of commercial dog food in a single sentence..

“Most commercial pet foods are garbage”

World-famous vet and dog-care author Alfred Plechner, says the poor nutritional properties of commercial dog food inevitably lead to disease..

“Because many commercial foods are woefully deficient in key nutrients, the long term effect of feeding such foods makes the dog hypersensitive to its environment. . . .

It’s a dinosaur effect. [Dogs] are being programmed for disaster, for extinction.

Many of them are biochemical cripples with defective adrenal glands unable to manufacture adequate cortisol, a hormone vital for health and resistance to disease.”

 Energy Drink Raises Blood Pressure & Heart Rates

 Filed under: Healthy Lifestyle,Heart Conditions — Vivienne Quek @ Apr 11th, 2009

Study shows that energy drink raises blood pressure and heart rate and may post a problem for those with heart problems.

Dr James Kalus and his team of Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit found that healthy adults that drink 2 cans of energy drinks will have an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. While this is insignificant for healthy adults, it will be hazardous for those with  heart problems. That’s because energy drinks contain caffeine, taurine, sugars, vitamins, and other nutritional supplements.

The researcher also said consumption of energy drinks should not be confused with sport dirnks, which aim to replenish carbohydrates and electrolytes that a body needs.
