Allowing our son to eat partially cooked meats

by

It’s been 2 days since the last dose of the antibiotic Flagyl. Today we allowed some partially cooked meat to our 8 year old boy who if you remember has recovered from intussusception. He did not have surgery. He instead got well by a “miracle” which was medically verified by x-ray, ultrasound and blood tests. It is the injured intestines that we are wary about and this is why we have to feed him easy to digest foods. Mono meals.

This lunch time I popped into the oven some fatty beef cuts. He had some, not a lot. This evening he will be having some seared salmon in some “teriyaki” home made from scratch sauce. The rest of his meals for the day are egg yolks and coconut juice and coconut meat.

He just pooped a good solid smooth brown poop. No constipation. Took a bath. And now he just told me it’s eating time so we have to sear his salmon.

Update: He ate quite a bit this evening. I am satisfied with his appetite.

Son unhappy with Metronidazole (Flagyl) for his Amoebiasis plus egg yolk liver flush

by

Our 8 year old boy who got a prescription of Flagyl for his amoebiasis is unhappy with his antibiotics. He has been telling this to me and my wife. He says he just poops it out. And he says his appetite is suppressed because of this. He hardly eats anything these past few days.

Maybe his intestines are healing? Maybe it’s just the side effect of Flagyl? The original prescription is for 10 days. But the packaging says 7 days only. Since our son is complaining, we have decided to just cut it down to 7 days. Today is the last day.

The only things we have been able to get him to eat freely is coconut juice and coconut meat, he once ate a good amount of cooked okra. He ate a small amount of rice and ghee one time. He eats a small amount of durian. And one time with me in the office he ate some raw beef. We get him to eat some 2 raw duck egg yolks a day… somewhat forced.

This morning through prodding I got him to do an egg yolk liver flush using 2 raw duck egg yolks, some freshly squeezed calamansi juice and some virgin coconut oil. Had him lie down for 30 minutes on his right side. Afterwards we went to the wet market to have some “buko palamig” – ice cold coconut juice with some sugar, we also bought our 20 coconuts and a watermelon.

Back home our boy had his poop activated and he said he pooped out some nasty stuff. Said it seemed like olive oil left overs? Hmmm… I didn’t give him olive oil in this liver flush… is he talking about that old olive oil enema last week? Whatever… he flushed it down, I never saw it. He said it didn’t look like my old green liver stones.

We are liver flushing him because an ultra sound exam last week showed he had liver stones and sludge in his gall bladder.

This is just day 1 of 4 egg yolk liver flush mornings. We have fresh Palawan duck eggs.

He was being very difficult this morning. Complained I scrambled his egg yolk, I said it just burst, I didn’t scramble it. Found out we ran out of calamansi, didn’t want to come with me in the car, I had my wife wait for me to see that he does not ingest anything else. My wife advertised that the olive oil came from their church… he said he didn’t like olive oil… I said I have virgin coconut oil… so don’t make any more excuses.

Good thing about knowing the principles about liver flushing is that there are many alternatives for picky people.

Losing weight should not be done by starving yourself and enduring Malnutrition

by

We as humans should collectively learn.  Funny, it never fails, each new generation of overweight people will think along the same wrong lines of thought at first: that eating fat will make you fat and that losing weight or dieting must involve eating less food, even skipping meals.

The newly fat in their 20s or 30s need to understand that becoming fat is mostly a function of the amount of starchy carbohydrates you eat.  So wheat based processed food, rice and other grains are the biggest culprits.  Your body may have metabolized that much carbs in its younger years, but not anymore.  Your aging body  just packs on the fat while consuming that much starchy carbs.

Always avoid malnutrition.  Malnutrition is one of the big root causes of many diseases and illnesses.  You do not want to be malnourished.  You will be sick, guaranteed.

To lose extra weight, to look good, to be sexy, to feel great is a function of health.  You must eat a diet that makes you healthy.  That’s all there is to it.  The best diet out there is the Paleo Diet and even better, the Raw Paleo Diet.  This is the evolutionary approved diet.  And it just works.

Eat fatty animal food, eat vegetables, some fruit, feel full and satisfied all the time and …. ta daaahhhh…. a sexy, healthy, beautiful you.

To give you an idea of how much food I’m talking about, in a day I could eat: 2 raw duck eggs, 600 grams of raw meat (blue marlin / beef / horse), some coconut / watermelon / guava / durian — I’m a computer geek at 1.65 meters and 57 kg.

Post Intussusception diet plan for 8 year old boy

by

It’s May 15 and cousins are in the compound. Our 8 year old boy who just miraculously got cured last May 12 early morning of intussusception is all healthy as if nothing happened to him. He runs and jumps and plays with his siblings and cousins. I ask if there was any hint of pain inside his guts and he says there is none at all.

Now for some discipline in eating: Diet is the most important guide to be followed in the post intussusception recovery protocol. Diet is everything.

The guide: only easy to digest, raw animal foods and special vegetables and specific foods:

For fruits: (if it is not in this list, it is not approved)

  • Duhat and Star Apple / Kayumito (these are gut healing fruits)
  • Coconut juice and coconut meat
  • Durian
  • Watermelon
  • calamansi as condiment for sashimi

For vegetables, fully boiled, intestine healing:

  • saluyot
  • alugbati
  • okra – he likes this

For carbs:
organic white rice with lots of ghee (clarified butter) in half “sinangag”
(this is carb + fat)

For meat:

  • raw animal foods, must be totally raw, no heating whatsoever
  • sashimi fish, raw beef, raw horse
  • raw eggs

The child cannot afford putrefying cooked animal food in his guts as he is currently taking antibiotics for amoeba which means lack of bacteria in his gut to digest cooked meat. Putrefying cooked meat may possibly harm his injured colon. Raw meat digests effortlessly in the stomach.

For condiments:

  • sea salt (a little)
  • calamansi

His diet must wind up being high fat. Get from coconut fat, ghee, raw animal fat.
His diet must be hydrating.
This combination will give effortless pooping.

There will be no food combining. He will eat mono meals. Must be spaced 1 hour apart at least.

If it is not on the list do not feed it to him.

He must eat only what is on the list.

This is meant to be posted in the kitchen for all adults in the household to see and follow.

Intussusception Cured. Avoided Surgery. It’s A “Miracle.” One for the Books.

by

We are home. Our 8 year old boy is home. Just the morning before his scheduled surgery for intussusception on May 12, 2010, our boy woke up to no more tummy pain, no more bleeding, he was up walking and doing normal things, laughing, playing, a total “miraculous” cure. All medical tests were done to verify this “miraculous” recovery including x-ray and ultrasound and blood tests and all showed absolutely normal — fixed. One resident doctor said she had never seen an episode like this recovery. The head doctor said: “This is one for the books.” 🙂 🙂 🙂Continue Reading

Freshman Masculine Wash: “Because Men Need to Feel Fresh and Clean Too!”

by

We are building the website of a new customer and I found it amazing they had a new product in the market called: Freshman Masculine Wash. First thing that came to mind was Freshman College. Wrong. They mean Fresh MAN. Now what about that “Masculine Wash?”, I thought this was soap for MEN. Wrong again. This is soap for down there… you know like “feminine wash”, this time, it is MASCULINE WASH… you know for men’s private parts… oh, I get it.

Here’s their press release:

MEN NEED TO BE FRESH TOO!

Nowadays, men live a very active lifestyle. They engage themselves in a lot of sports activities as a way to de-stress from their very hectic career life. And naturally, men like to sweat a lot. But the question is, with all these sweaty activities, how do men refresh? Shower, Yes? But how can men get that ultimate fresh feeling? ‘Coz soaps alone won’t do the job.

Jovan is a regular cyclist. It’s his ultimate sports and he likes to bike around the metro during weekends and time-outs from work. “Cycling has been a part of my lifestyle, and I enjoy a little bit of running too. Almost all guy friends that I know enjoy cycling and running as an alternative workout in the gym.” Feeling all-sweaty has never been an alien feeling for a cyclist and a runner like Jovan. It’s part of the sports and he actually likes it. “Perspiring actually reminds you that you are shedding the pounds and fats that you want to lose so it’s okay. The more I perspire, the better.”

Now here comes the dilemma! Like Jovan, a lot of men are convinced that soaps alone can help you regain that fresh feeling, but we need to be informed that men too, need an intimate hygiene wash! Having that self-confidence and boost is important for men nowadays, and they tend to develop that feeling when they are “clean” and “fresh” all over. They feel “younger” and “more energetic” when they are “cool”. And having that “cool” feeling on men’s private parts has actually a scientific benefit!

According to research and doctors, having that 20% cooling feeling in men’s intimate areas can actually help them preserve the life span of their sperm and increase the number of counts required. Sperms are destroyed and definitely become low in counts when the intimate parts are much warmer than the body temperature.

So, giving men’s intimate parts some “cool”, “clean” and “refreshing” treat, is not just a feeling after all. It can also help men do wonders for their reproductive process! Now men don’t have to worry about soaps.
Freshman Masculine Wash has arrived!

It’s a masculine wash that thoroughly cleans unlike an ordinary soap! The product’s active ingredient, Tea Tree Oil, properly moisturizes the skin, neutrally balanced at ph7 making it gentle on the skin. It gives you that cool, fresh feeling that lasts all day!

It eliminates and protects the male genitals from germs that cause unwanted odor and itchiness! For minor scrapes and wounds, the masculine wash aids the immune system in the healing produces. Freshman Masculine Wash has also been dermatologically tested for proper intimate hygiene.

Freshman Masculine Wash is already available in the market for the suggested retail price of 79 pesos per bottle.

‘Cause men need to feel fresh, clean and cool too!

Intussusception caused by Instant Noodles that caused LBM and dehydration: May be Fatal to our Son

by

Our eldest boy is in our care in a big hospital receiving whatever treatments we judge as appropriate and may save his life.  I have no time to post a blog about this right now.  It is life or death.  Let those instant noodles be da**ed and go to he**.  These are the dangers when children visit other households.

Our boy has been suffering since Saturday as posted in my previous blog, the next day was horrific non-stop pain.

Finally a no dye CT Scan shows Intussusception.  Which is possibly fatal.  We are doing the best we can with what limited window of time to save / cure my son.  Please wish us luck and send your prayers.
