We pushed through with the beach trip to Real-Infanta Quezon. Initially we attempted to use the unfinished scenic Marikina-Infanta road. No luck. Smack in the middle of the trip, a recent landslide has made the dirt road impassable and we had to turn back. We instead used the Tanay, Rizal route. The whole trip less the back tracking would have been around 4 or more hours. I estimate that if in 2 to 3 years the Marikina-Infanta road is fully finished, we can make Infanta in around 3 hours or less.

On to the beaches in Real. Our volunteer native tour guides initially wanted to take us to Alderico Resort. But to our dismay, once beautiful Alderico has closed and is out of business due to the recent Infanta disaster last year with the typhoon collaborating with the loggers causing hundreds of logs and loose soil from the mountains to come crashing down and buried many in Infanta. We wound up staying overnight at Club Manila East as their rooms were easily accessible from the parked car. This was very important due to my Parkinsons disease stricken grandmother. But the beach access from Club Manila East had 10 steps down which my grandmother refused. So for the beach, we went to the small informal beaches on the same stretch.

My grandmother had a nice time. It was initially just me and the driver. But a couple of lady acquaintances with a 1 year old kid lightened up the spirits of my grandmother. Driver Vic doubled as the digger of sand and helped with the salty sand covering on my grandmother. We took on the beach once on Saturday afternoon and once on Sunday morning.

Results? Me and the driver think she grew stronger and could walk better and longer now. But this was Sunday evening as we took her home to Makati city.

I just called up my grandmother this Monday morning and found out her arthritis is acting up on her knees!

I just called my grandmother this morning to arrange that I will be fetching her at 6pm tonight so that she can sleep over at my place so we can have an early trip tomorrow to the beach at Infanta, Quezon.

Then she tells me she doesn’t want to go anymore.  Why?  Because she says we don’t have that much money and that she still feels weak and would rather be stronger.

I told her that the reason this is an emergency trip is because she already is an emergency case.  Her health is at its worst I have ever seen and it is now or never.  If she delays she could die.

Then she tells me she has stopped dieting and started eating eggs.  Well I never told her to cut down on her food consumption.  I just told her to stop eating meat, milk and fried foods.

Then I tell her I’ve already arranged for a driver and that we can stay overnight only if we had not much money.  Then she says, “Okay okay just so you will stop pestering me.”

Such statements would have detered the common good samaritan, but not me.  I know her.  She needs to go to the sea now.  Its either now or never.  Death is knocking at my grandma’s door.

From my forum post at curezone.com:

I’m glad our country the Philippines has gotten the rest of your countries excited in the use of Virgin Coconut Oil for your health. I use vco for massage, detox against candida, supplement against constipation, deodorant, ear cleaner, make up remover, cooking oil, etc.

I would like to introduce our bitter melons, we call them “ampalaya”.

Bitter melons are usually cooked as a vegetable, by itself or with other vegetables. My grandmother and a friend swears this is their favorite vegetable, but more filipinos find the taste tolerably bitter. But we know it is good for us. It cleans our blood.

For all you juicing cowboys here, holistic doctors in my country routinely recommend juicing bitter melon fruit by itself or with other vegetables as a blood cleansing tonic.

Bitter melon is poor people’s insulin. Since pharmaceutical medicine is too expensive for poor filipinos, bitter melon is cheaper and readily available in our everyday market. You got that right, bitter melon is available all year round, everyday in our country. See how poor filipinos fight diabetes http://www.operationdiabetes.com/

So how about pharmaceutical style studies? Here is a blog with 200 studies in it about bitter melons… http://www.charanteausa.com/bittermelonstudies/

What do I know?

Fresh bitter melon is best.
Lightly cooked bitter melon is next.
Dried bitter melon rehydrated as tea is next.
Bitter melon tea is next.
Bitter melon capsules next.

What do I think?

Fresh bitter melon is one of our most nutritious vegetables.
I think the blood cleansing works.
I think the blood sugar lowering works.
I think this is good to keep your doctor from pumping you with bovine insulin.

Bitter melon is not the only food around so do not forget to eat the other good vegetables.

Follow the other websites and books that have well defined and made easy to follow guides to cure diabetes: Andreas Moritz , Mike Adams, DeWayne, etc.

Use bitter melon to keep your blood sugar at normal levels so your doctor and your family will stop pestering you with bovine insulin injections which andreas moritz rightly identifies as dangerous.

See how bitter melons look like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitter_melon

If anyone requests, I’ll take some pictures of what our bitter melons look like in our markets in the village.

Yesterday I sent sms messages to a couple of should be concerned and capable to help descendants.  No answer.
Nobody loves my grandmother.  Nobody cares if she’s dying.  They all think her attitude is a pain and her illness is fake and they think she is just trying to get attention.  Her caregiver has a nasty attitude.  Her caregiver’s voice uses all the tonal ranges of hate, scorn, dismissiveness, disrespect and disdain.
This week her caregiver is on leave and my grandmother is left at the mercy of 3 maids.  The cook has a neutral attitude.  The two maids have the same hate, scorn, dismissiveness, disrespect and disdain.  All this on my 82 year old, parkinsons disease stricken grandmother.

It is painful and educational for me to watch such a disgrace happening to my grandmother.  What could she have done in her life to deserve such treatment?  Why do these people take great pleasure at disrespecting my grandmother?

It is quite possible that the reason she stays sick and is degenerating to death is because of all the negative attitudes surrounding her day and night.

I remember being sick myself, everyone hated my herbalist who looks like a witch, the loathing was too much I had to flee my own home to stay at my brother’s house where we would be a little more welcome.  I will write about that experience on www.eczemacure.info

I’ll be taking her away from all this for a weekend to the beach.  Maybe the salt of the ocean will rub deeply into her to heal her, strengthen her.

Why does my grandmother have sodium deficiency? She eats so much patis aka fish sauce.

The latest blood test that shows she is cronically deficient in salt shows that patis cannot substitute for real sea salt. Patis may taste salty, but it has no nutrients.

Everyone dump your patis and switch to unrefined sea salt.

I just read the nutritional label of a patis bottle we have at home and it says:

2 tablespoons = 1 serving

gives Sodium 15% RDA

So what is wrong with this?

1/2 tablespoon of salt = 100% RDA of a 150 lb person

This is how deficient patis users are when it comes to salt!

This tuesday morning I passed by my grandmother to see her progress. She said she was getting weaker and weaker still. I promptly took her to the hospital at Cardinal Santos. See that she is rehydrated as I think she is dehydrated, got a blood analysis done too.

The blood analysis shows my grandmother is sodium deficient! Now we know what to do.

I just checked the reliable sites for some information on sodium deficiency:

http://curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=67196

“In recent years there has been much publicity about the need to reduce salt consumption in societies where salt is added to many processed foods. It has tended to be forgotten that some salt intake is absolutely necessary; that people need salt, sodium chloride, to survive: The chemical requirements of the human body demand that the salt concentration in the blood be kept constant. If the body does not get enough salt, a hormonal mechanism compensates by reducing the excretion of salt in the urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. On a completely salt-free diet the body steadily loses small amounts of salt via the kidneys and sweat glands. It then attempts to adjust this by accelerating its secretion of water, so that the blood’s salt concentration can be maintained at the vital level. The result is a gradual desiccation of the body and finally death.” Roy Moxham

Now this is vital information. Now I know that my first objective is to restore salt in her body. My grandmother is dying because of salt deficiency. Now I can save her. What to do…

This site makes it easier to convert units of measure since I operate in liters and most american or sites operate in english units.

Now going to the site that has the title salts that heal and salts that kill.

And now for the water cure recipe.

Drink 1/2 your body weight of water in ounces, daily. Example 180 lb = 90 oz. of water daily. Divide that into 8 or 10 oz. glasses and that’s how many glasses you will need to drink, daily. Use 1/4 tsp. of salt for every quart of water you drink. Use salt liberally with food. As long as you drink the water, you can use the salt. Avoid caffeinated or alcoholic drinks. These are diuretics and will dehydrate you. Every 6 oz. of caffeine or alcohol requires an additional 10 to 12 oz. of water to re-hydrate you.

P.S. (USE Clean Water, Use non-refined, ocean salt ONLY )

Now to do some conversions to make this easier for me.

I estimate my grandmother to be 120 lbs. so she will need 60 oz = 1.77 liters of water per day.

And 1/4 tsp of unrefined sea salt for every 1 quart = 0.95 liters of water.

What this means my prescription for my grandmother’s water cure is to please consume 2 liters of water everyday and I dissolve 1/2 tsp of unrefined sea salt in that water!

I just then need to get a couple of 2 liter containers, fill them with clean water and dissolve the salts in them and tell her to drink 1 container per day.

I have to buy unrefined sea salt tomorrow. Where? At OPTA? At Healthy Options? I have to be at her house again tomorrow. I hope this works. I wonder how long it will take for her to fully heal? Or is this just one step in a series of steps to take?

Now I know why my grandmother keeps requesting to go to the ocean and take a dip in the seawater.  She remembers the last time did wonders to restore her health.  I must make time in the weekend to take her to the ocean.
