Nurture Your Own

I guarantee you will remember the tale of the Wooden Bowl tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year from now. Very nurturing to the soul.

I was forwarded this story via an email which did not specify who is the writer. If anyone out there knows who wrote this wonderful piece, let me so that I can include a credit line.

THE WOODEN SPOON
A frail old man went to live with his son, daughter-in- law, and four-year-old grandson. The old man’s hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his step faltered

The family ate together at the table. But the elderly grandfather’ s shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

The son and daughter-in- law became irritated with the mess.

‘We must do something about father,’ said the son. ‘I’ve had enough of his spilled milk, noisy eating, and food on the floor.’

So the husband and wife set a small table in the corner. There, Grandfather ate alone while the rest of the family enjoyed dinner. Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl.

When the family glanced in Grandfather’ s direction, sometimes he had a tear in his eye as he sat alone. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp admonitions when he dropped a fork or spilled food.

The four-year-old watched it all in silence.

One evening before supper, the father noticed his son playing with wood scraps on the floor.

He asked the child sweetly, ‘What are you making?’ Just as sweetly, the boy responded,
‘Oh, I am making a little bowl for you and Mama to eat your food in when I grow up. ‘ The four-year-old smiled and went back to work.

The words so struck the parents so that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. Though no word was spoken, both knew what must be done.

That evening the husband took Grandfather’ s hand and gently led him back to the family table.

For the remainder of his days he ate every meal with the family. And for some reason, neither husband nor wife seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

On a positive note, I’ve learned that, no matter what happens, how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles four things:
a rainy day, the elderly, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I’ve learned that making a ‘living’ is not the same thing as making a ‘life..’

I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands.You nee d to be able to throw something back sometimes.

I’ve learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you But, if you focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you

I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.

I’ve learned that every day, you should reach out and touch someone.

People love that human touch — holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I’ve learned that you should pass this on to everyone you care about ..I just did.

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?

Yeah! A cure for the ubiquitious swine influenze idiocy is more urgent than for the swine virus iself.
Here’s why :

Do you know that -

1. Tamiflu (the “medicine” being touted around for swine flu) has already killed 14 kids because of neurological problems (implies they encourage bad microvita)? Tamiflu is  proscribed for kids in Japan.

2. The Side effects of Tamiflu are the very symptoms caused by flu? There are other dangerous side-effects as well.

3. Tamiflu only reduces the duration of flu by 1.5 days?

4. It increases the chances of secondary bacterial infections (ie more of negative microvita) because of the damages it causes?

5. With the ever-mutating flu viruses – it’s just a matter of time before they develop resistance to tamiflu?

6. Most flu vaccines have toxic mercury which causes severe heavy metal poisoning?

7. Some of the drug lords benefiting from this mayhem had “inadvertently” released the deadly avian flu virus few weeks back as part of their flu vaccine?

8. All new medication that comes up would not have been adequately tested in terms of it’s long term damages? As a MicroVita SuperDieter we know that it will cause more harms than help.

9. With the AH1N1 virus simultaneously having genes from multiple human, avian & swine strains – suspicions about it being engineered are getting stronger as it cannot happen naturally on it’s own? By following their advice are you also playing into the hands of the game-makers?

10. Disinfecting our environ can’t stop person-to-person direct transmission of the virus – & that’s how it primarily spreads?

11. Face masks are meant more to protect others from the wearer than the other way round – they are also leaky & hence ineffective?

12. Immigration screening can’t stop the spread of the virus because most virus carriers will develop the symptoms much later after exiting the airport?

13. The bankrupt “germ-theory of disease” is driving this craze? It’s about Your internal milieu & NOT about the virus.

Wishing you an absolutely FLU-ent health!

I have a relative who was once plagued by panic attack. All I knew was she had to see a psychiatrist for years and popped many, many expensive pills before she was considered “healed”.  When I chanced upon Panic Away, curiosity led me to read not only the information but also the feedback of its fans and supporters.

For the benefits of the health conscious community here, I have extracted some salient information from Panic Away on panic or anxiety attack.

There is one key factor that makes the difference between those who fully eliminate panic attacks from their lives and those who do not. The key ingredient is not medication, lifestyle changes, or relaxation exercises. It is when the individual no longer fears the thought of having a panic attack.

This may seem like a simplified and obvious observation but give it careful consideration. The one thing that has you searching for a solution to anxiety and panic attacks this very moment is the fear of having another one.

The first time a person experiences a panic attack it can feel like their world is falling down around them. Nowhere feels safe as the anxiety becomes like a stalker lurking in the background.

When this happens people begin to either avoid situations that make them anxious or they medicate themselves to the point where they are numb to the fear. I am sure you will agree neither of the above is a satisfactory solution.

You are probably well aware that a panic attack is a ‘fight or flight’ response to a perceived threat. The reason the human brain responds like this goes back to our prehistoric past where humans needed their bodies to respond quickly to a perceived physical threat. What this new research is telling us, is that people’s mental activity during a panic attack is suddenly moving to the mid brain, resulting in the heightened state of fear and panic. In short, a separate part of your brain becomes more active during a panic attack.

The key to being panic attack free is to to break the fear of having another panic attack.  If you know someone suffering from panic attack, share the information with them. If they are not in the position to help themselves, get their caregivers to read it. I wish I knew this information some years back.

According to Dr Beh Suan Tiong, an obstetrician and gynaecologist at Thomson Medical centre said the use of Epidural remains one of the biggest conceptions people have.

It use has been widely debated but adverse consequence have not yet been proven. On the other hand, the effectiveness of the epidural outweighs other options like pethidine injection. Pethidine is a drug used to relieve severe pain during labour or after a surgery providing relief up to 5-6 hours.

Have you noticed those tiny little red spots on your skin?

These red spots are likely to be Campell de Morgan spots or cherry angiomas. These are not moles. They are actually proliferation of tiny blood vessels.

It is not known why these spots form but they usually arise in middle age folks and those older. Basically, these spots are found to be quite harmless.

They can be removed by cautery (using an electric pencil) or an ablative laser by a qualified doctor. However such treatment may produce side effects like post inflammatory hyperpigmentation (a dark colour which may take months or years to fade) and rarely, scarring.

According to Dr Michael Miller, director of preventive cardiology at the University of Maryland, listen to music to maintain good heart health.

Because your heart will likely soar at the sound of joyeous music.  That’s a good sign.

Dr Miller’s findings were reported at the annual meeting of the Amercian Heart Association in New Orlean in November 2008. WebMD reportedthat 10 volunteers identified specific music that made them feel a sense of joy. While the music is being played, the researchers used an ultrasound device to measure how well each person’s blood vessels responded to a sudden increase of blood flow. The volunteers’ blood vessels dilated by 26% when they heard joyeous music. That is a very healthy sign according to the good doctor.

What exactly is joyous music? Dr Miller says it depends on the individual. It’s not the type of music that counts but a person’s response to it.

I don’t like the dark eye circles under my eyes and they won’t go away despite having adequate sleep. According to Doctor Bob Koh, it is due to toxin build up in our body.

Since the good doctor is away in USA treating his patients, I googled for some quick answers and the following is what I found from Ray A. Rubio:

- Contrary to popular believe fatigue is not a cause of dark circles under the eyes.

- One of the most common causes is nasal congestion, because when the nose is congested, the veins drain from your eyes and become widened and darker.

- Eyelid swelling during sleep is another common cause. Gravity can cause fluids to build up in your lower eyelids.

- Dark circles can also be the result of chronic skin conditions like atopc eczema.

This is an after-note from my earlier post on Yeast Infection plagues most women at least once in their lifetime.

I don’t know if this is true or otherwise. However, you may still like to check out what Samantha G. had to share about a simple and free test a woman can do to find out if she really got vaginal yeast infection. This is what the woman must do:

When you wake up, spit into a glass of water and observe it for about 2 minutes. If it floats at the top of the glass and stays there, then you’re okay. If it sinks right away and then dissolves in the glass into stringy pieces, then you probably have a yeast infection in which case you need to treat it right away.

Yeast infection No More. by Linda Allen

12-Hour Cure to Yeast Infection by Sarah Summer

When a woman gets vaginal yeast infection, she probably gets a bottle of dermoprotecting body wash, anti-yeast cream and an inserting capsule from her doctor. Sometimes, the doctor will even prescribe an oral pill for her partner.

Vaginal yeast infection is common among women. Research shows that than 50% of the women suffered this condition at least once in their life time. Vaginal Yeast infection is nothing to be embarrass about but it is troublesome, frustrating and absolutely annoying. Vaginal yeast infection is caused by organism recognized as Candida Albican, and will happen when there is an imbalance of PH level at the vagina.

Most of the time, women chooses to ignore the problem hoping that it will cure on its own. However, not all women are so lucky to have this problem disappear on its own. In fact, leaving yeast infection untreated may just turn the problem into a chronic case which can last up to months or even years.

If you are unsure if you got vaginal yeast infection, here are some tell tale signs:
- Unpleasant smell
- Dense, watery or milky discharge
- Severe itching
- Vulva redness and swelling
- Burning sensation

There are many different kinds of cures for vaginal yeast infection. Most commonly are yeast creams or oral medications from the doctors or over counter. If your infection is not improving with the yeast creams that you are using, you should discontinue. Prolong usage might just aggravate the condition, making the yeast tougher to kill. Like all diseases, sometimes yeast just got immune to the drugs applied and became stronger.

Women who are suffering from vaginal yeast infection should also avoid sexual intercourse by all means because this infection will spread to your partner as well.

Running to the doctor for a quick fix remains the only choice for most women. However, more and more are getting their problems solved with natural remedies. They considered holistic and natural treatments to be cheaper and safer from invasive drugs. Also, internet allows people to share their secret cure-all in an easy and fast manner. Canadian Sarah Summer is so confident of her method that she had published her cure entitled 12-Hour Cure to Yeast Infection. And the testimonials she received claimed that there is no recurrence. While Linda Allen also published her 7 years findings in Yeast infection No More.

A question comes to mind – why doesn’t doctor goes the natural way?

Dear friends

If you are visiting this blog for the first time, a warm welcome.

To all you wonderful people who are regulars here, it is nice to be back. I’m right now waiting to catch a flight to visit one of my patients. I’m sitting here in the lounge feeling nice and good because of some recent development.

Old Lady in Singapore Walks Again After Being Immobile for 12 Months!

One of the many reasons that convinced me to write for NurtureYourOwn is because of Vivienne, also one of the co-writers of this blog. For the last few months, I was helping with her mother’s recovery as the old lady was paralysed after a spinal surgery in July 2007. Unlike some 75-year old women who would simply give up due to old age and failing health, Vivienne’s mother yearned to walk again. Her wishes were simple. She just wanted to do simple things on her own … like walking to the bathroom without the wheelchair, able to walk a few steps to the kitchen to fetch a cup of waters, etc. Things that we took for granted. Things that physically-challenged folks see as a luxury.

After treating her for 3 months from 18 April 2008, the old lady recently rewarded me on 25 July by standing up and walked 10 paces with a walking frame. She did it with much difficulty and effort on her part, and it was really heart warming to see her walk out from her room. She couldn’t walk for the past 12 months. And, she only managed to stand in June, yet in July, she could walk. Since helping myself to recover and walk from paralysis in 2003, seeing miracles is a major joy of my work in treating the impossibles or incurables. I knew what it is like being paralysed and I like to help people like Vivienne’s mother.

If you know of anyone who is paralyzed for less than 12 months – from any kind of physical injury, nerve compression, cauda equina syndrome, stroke and unsuccessful surgery, feel free to contact me for evaluation. I will not promise the impossible. I only treat patients whom I have at least 80% confidence to heal.

Recently my mind is very busy with 3 cases which their respective specialists used the term “incurable”. One is Motor Neuron Disease and another is Poly Myositis, both are degenerative nerve disorder. The last case is a young 15-year old patient with scoliosis of 68% deviation where surgery is indicated necessary.

There’s Hope for a Malaysian Medical Doctor who was said to be incurable with Poly Myositis

The patient with Poly Myositis (a nerve disorder where the muscles waste away, and she is slowly but definitely losing her ability to walk) is a lady OB GYN Specialist based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Her husband is also a medical doctor, a Gastroenterology Specialist. They both made my day when they said that every medical doctor should have a wellness specialist like me to take care of their health.

I only treated the Poly Myositis patient for 2 sessions on 13 July and 14th July 2008.She rewarded me with a wide beaming smile, as she realized that there might be hope for her condition after exhausting all medical options for the past 3 years. As a doctor herself, she was deeply disappointed and frustrated when her doctors told her hers was an “incurable disease”. All these years, She helped and is continuing to support and give life to other and yet no one was able to help her when her own life is withering.

By 15 October 2008, I will be able to share with you all whether, I am successful in preventing further deterioration with her condition and be able to give her a permanent solution to her Poly Myositis.

My 14-year old Patient has grown taller despite severe scoliosis

The 68% scoliosis 14 years old boy has grown taller on 26 July 2008, since starting treatment less than 30 days ago on 5 July 2008. Wow. Cool. His father said if I can improve his son’s deviation to 48% within a year, that will be a miracle. Because most of the doctors they talked to, said its “impossible”. I want to make “impossible” becomes “possible”. Not just for fun, though it will be fun seeing the little boy became healthier and taller with each passing day. Definitely not due to pride or ego but it is fulfilling to see a boy grows into a man.

All the above 3 cases … I do not use invasive drugs nor surgeries. I don’t just use one treatment protocols, I used several, For those who are keen to know the modalities I used, please check out my earlier post by clicking here.

Now, I got a new case on knee. That prompted me thinking, “Is knee pain/degeneration really irreversible and knee replacement surgery the only option?

As I mentioned in my previous posting I have great respect for Mainstream Western Medicine, and I belief that future high quality patient care lies in Integrative Medicine.

However, I am often baffle when, after management of knee pain for many years, the patient is finally told that they will need a knee replacement surgery. Patients who managed to see me and I am able to reverse the surgery in most cases that I take on.

For those of you who are concerned about whether you will have a knee problem when you are in your sixties, should see me for an evaluation if you are above 35 yrs now. An examination now will show whether you will be a prospect for knee replacement surgery 20-25 years later.

Ok got to go board my flight now. We’ll catch up again. Contact me if you like.

Warmest Regards
Doctor Bob Koh

I read about this in “MindYourBody” tabloid on my way to work. The short article is said to be reproduced from The Los Angeles Times.

According to the British researcher a Leatherhead Food International, a food and beverage research and consulting company, rinsing or soaking raw french fries in water before frying may reduce levels of acrylamide, a cancer-causing chemical.

Acrylamide is created in small amount during the production of french fries and potato chips. Acrylamide is linked to cancer in rodents which leads researchers to believe that it many be carcinogenic to human beings too.

The Brit researchers found that soaking for 2 hours helped in the reduction of acrylamide by 48%. Simply washing or soaking them for 30 minutes, will see to a 23% and 38% reduction respectively.

The question that came to my head was: WHY? (more…)
