I received an email about how Dr. Wu, a Chinese doctor, got rid himself of cancer with a vegetarian diet. You can read the article about it here.
And here are Dr Wu’s secrets to good health.
The human body has the power to heal itself. The immune system has a self-defence mechanism to block and destroy bacteria or viruses that invade our bodies, while the self-healing mechanism will get us back on the road to recovery. When you have a cold and take medicine, the medication may kill the virus but your
immune system will not fully function, and its efficiency will decrease. As a result, your body will be more vulnerable to germs.
Dr Wu’s principle is to strengthen the immune system, and avoid medication as much as possible. In his book, he offers the following guidelines to good health:
1. Have at least three bowel movements a day.
Other health experts may advise one bowel movement a day, but Dr Wu says that’s not enough. You need three to four bowel movements a day in order to excrete all the accumulated faeces from your intestine. Your liver will not be overburdened and it also helps reduce cholesterol in your body.
2. Drink at least three glasses of fruit or vegetable smoothies each day.
This is a way to ingest enough phytochemicals to strengthen the body’s cells and immune system. Use not only the flesh, but also the skin and seeds of fruits and vegetables to make smoothies, as they are rich in phytochemicals.
Most of the fruit seeds have small amounts of cyanide which kill bacteria and viruses without damaging the body.
Actually the recommended smoothie diet is six glasses a day, two in the morning, one before lunch, two more in the afternoon, and one more before dinner.
However, if that’s too much, you may start with three glasses a day. Use a high powered blender (at least three horsepower) as it can release phytochemicals from the fibre. It’s best to choose sour fruits like green or red apples, grapes, pineapples, kiwi and lime.
3. Sunbathe 30 minutes daily.
We often hear that the Sun’s UV rays will damage our skin, and many people apply sunblock before going out.
But Dr Wu says the opposite. He says the UV rays will help convert cholesterol underneath the skin into vitamin A which helps moisten the skin and prevent skin cancer, and also vitamin D that helps prevent colds, osteoporosis, and certain kinds of cancer.
“Therefore, use the Sun. Expose yourself to sunlight about one-half hour a day, at noon or another appropriate time based on your local climate.
The Sun will make you healthier,” says Dr Wu.
4. Exercise 30 minutes a day.
Don’t exercise for more than 30 minutes. If you go beyond that, your body will be overworked.
“If you do it more than half an hour, that will become labour, not exercise. Your heart and your body will be working too hard,” he says.
5. Shower with hot, then cold water.
Try an alternating cold and hot water shower: Three minutes of hot water followed by 30 seconds of cold water, then repeat twice more.
This process will bring a rush of blood and energy to your body. It helps increase your immune system, blood circulation, and metabolism.
6. Drink a lot of water, in the correct way.
How much water you need to drink each day depends on your specific situation. If your office is air-conditioned, drinking six glasses of water a day is enough. If your work involves lots of walking, you have to drink 8-10 glasses a day. If you work under the hot sun, then 10-12 glasses of water are required.
The way you drink is also important.. The correct way is to sip it little by little, to give your body cells time to absorb the water.
If you drink the whole glass down at once, your cells can’t absorb it all, and the water will be excreted as urine.
7. Eat according to your blood type.
Your blood type determines what you should eat. Eating the wrong foods will make you sick.
People with blood type O have to eat a certain amount of meat. If they eat only vegetables for a long time, their body won’t absorb all the substances they need to strengthen their immune system. The recommended diet for this group is 75% vegetables, 10% fruits, 10% meat, seafood and goat’s milk (avoid cow’s milk), and 5% grains.
People with blood type A, however should avoid milk and meat, while increasing grains and fruits.
People with blood type B should also avoid meat, while those with blood type AB should avoid chicken and beef.
8. Eat according to your biological clock.
Every human being has a biological clock that tells us when to eat, sleep, and wake up. If you don’t follow your biological clock, the organs will lose their balance. Toxins and wastes won’t be excreted from your body, and soon you’ll get sick.
According to Dr Wu, the biological clock is divided into three phases.
From 4am to noon is the time for bowel movements, so in the morning you should eat foods with lots of fibre. Fruit and vegetable smoothies are recommended.
From noon to 8pm, your body will absorb food so lunch is the most important meal. A vegetable salad with grains is recommended.
Fish or boiled eggs can be added to your lunch. Avoid meat at dinner as the amino acids in the meat will disturb your sleep. Try to finish dinner by 6pm.
From 8pm to 4am, the nutrients and energy from food will be distributed throughout your body organs. The golden time for your sleep is between 10pm and 2am, as your immune and self-healing system will function at its best.

This looks yummy. Not for me, though. This is for my boys.
Ingredients:
* 200g good-quality dark chocolate, chopped
* 200g good-quality milk chocolate, chopped
* 4 vanilla beans, split
* 1⅓ cups (330ml) single (pouring) cream
* 1 cup (250ml) milk
* marshmallows and cocoa, to serve
Procedure:
* Divide the chocolate and vanilla beans between 4 glasses. Place the cream and milk in a saucepan over low heat and simmer for 2–3 minutes or until warmed through. Pour over the chopped chocolate, stirring until the chocolate is dissolved. Top with marshmallows and dust with cocoa to serve. Makes 4.
* You can adjust this recipe to suit your taste. If you prefer a darker, richer brew, use more dark chocolate – we like anything up to 70 per cent cocoa. If you prefer a milder flavour, opt for more milk chocolate. You could also experiment with different flavours, such as adding a cinnamon stick to the milk while it’s simmering.

I considered making invitations and all sorts of layouts as a side business before. But life got so busy since becoming a mother. Or probably I am just not good in managing my duties and responsibilities leaving me little or no time to do other things. And so I ended up not doing it at all. After all, ordering an invitation online, more specifically at Holiday-Invitations (http://www.holiday-invitations.com/) is just so easy and really hassle-free.

Always keep in mind that defrosting food should not be warmer than 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Leaving it in a room for a long period of time on a hot weather is definitely not safe and NOT healthy. So better read this post to learn the safest way to defrost food.
1. In The Refrigerator: You need to plan ahead. Allow eight hours of refrigerator time for each pound of meat.
2. In The Microwave: Because the defrost setting on a microwave starts the cooking process (raising temperatures to bacteria-friendly levels), it’s essential that you go on to cook the food immediately.
3. In A Bowl of Water: Don’t use this process for more than two hours or you’ll risk bacterial growth.
Always, plan ahead. Never leave your food for a long time before cooking. Keeping it right will keep your family safe.

A friend of mine asked if I know a site where she can order ensure online and have it shipped at her grandfather’s house in LA. He loves drinking ensure. Since it has a complete, balance nutrition plus excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, she’s thinking of giving those to him for his birthday.
I recommended Allegro Medical, she thought the site only offers Medical supplies but now that Allegro Medical expanded and covered even some life essential needs like Personal Care, Exercise/Fitness, Skin Care, Baby Car, Maternity Care and would you believe even Gift Ideas, Shoes, Housewares, etc. Who can go wrong?

Cornstarch, that is. I love finding new ways to use various items. And recently I have been researching for non-toxic cleaning mixtures and the likes. I’m glad to have come across new, at least to me, uses of cornstarch.
Cornstarch is know to thicken gravies and make creamy sauces but some kitchen ingredients at home are also useful in other ways. Here are 7 uses of cornstarch that you will be surprised of.
1. You can use cornstarch to make face paint that will be just as good at the type of face paint that clowns use.
2. You can use cornstarch to make a spray that you can use on windows to make them sparkle. You can create your own streak-free window cleaning solution by mixing 2 tablespoons cornstarch with 1/2 cup ammonia and 1/2 cup white vinegar in a bucket containing 3-4 quarts (3-4 liters) warm water.
3. You can use cornstarch to make finger paint. To create your own cornstarch finger paint, mix a quarter cup of cornstarch with two cups of water. <- This I'm excited to try for DS.
4. You can use cornstarch to kill those roaches who invade your homes. Simply mix, equal parts of cornstarch and plaster of Paris together.
5. You can use cornstarch to make your own version of spray starch for clothing. Simply mix one tablespoon of corn starch and one pint of cold water.
6. You can use cornstarch to help you eliminate stains on leather items such as furniture, clothing, briefcases or even shoes. To get rid of potential oil stains from leather simply apply cornstarch to the oil spot. Then leave the cornstarch in place overnight to give the cornstarch time to soak up the grease.
7. You can use cornstarch to help you prevent and kill mildew in your books that have been damaged by water and are still damp. Just sprinkle cornstarch all throughout the book to absorb the moisture of the damp pages.
