Infant Psoriasis with 7 month old baby improved 90% after 2 weeks of Adjustments: Proof our Cure Protocol Works

by

Just another day in paradise. Remember 2 weeks ago I visited a 7 month old infant with psoriasis on his face and chest? Gave the parents a referral to a good holistic doctor, then I visited their home for on-site inspection and pointed out various dietetic errors of artificial flavors, factory farmed meats, inflammation causing wheat and nightshades, artificial condiments of artificial soy sauce and artificial vinegar, and all the wrong fats with hydrogenated cooking oils… etc. Infant psoriasis down 90% in 2 short weeks. Oh so predictable.

First of all, the underlying cause of eczema and psoriasis are the same. The effects may be different, with eczema skin thinning and psoriasis skin thickening, but the underlying cause is the same, and of course the cure protocol is the same. Call it the eczema cure protocol or the psoriasis cure protocol and it is the same.

I congratulate the father of the infant for steadying the fears of his wife regarding their son. He bought the cure child eczema book. His wife initially wanted a western medical doctor and was ready to accept steroids, but the father had had enough of western medical doctors in his day. So they went to the holistic doctor to appease his wife, this doctor had a western MD degree but learned the upside down logical errors of western medicine. They were suggested probiotic supplements and real vinegar. And absolutely no steroids. I heard they also had pediatric zinc supplements.

I congratulate the mother for enduring changes in her life for her son. It is always inconvenient to adjust your diet and lifestyle when she herself had no symptoms, only her infant who was fully breast fed. The quality of her milk had everything to do with her son’s psoriasis. That she did. They were still in love with pork, but maybe soon they will make the switch to beef.

When my family made our changes, these were incremental, as we learned through the years. But with our successful experience nowadays, you do not need to wait long, you just need to make your checklist and do it. We have blazed the trail for you, the eczema / psoriasis cure protocol is written down publicly for all to see. You merely need to just do it. Accept the changes, you will know they are correct, because it will work. This is real science. We stake our claim proud and stern that we are the guardians of the real science to the cause and cure of psoriasis.

So to you parents who’s children are still exhibiting psoriasis or eczema. Stop procrastinating! Read up on my psoriasis / eczema cure protocol, make your check list, work and make the adjustments in your life. You owe it to your children.

Children and Cholesterol Tests – Blatant Commercialism of a Nothing Concept

by

Just my own opinion.  Totally based on nothing but my healer intuition.  So in the headlines of news items, it seems the PR agencies are on a roll.  They are pushing for cholesterol tests for children.  A great way to increase sales of certain cholesterol lowering drugs.  Pure marketing genius.

I am of the absolutely contrarian opinion.  First of all, I do not believe a word of the cholesterol numbers game or concept… whether for adults or children.  That cholesterol readings should be of a low enough number to be free of the risk of heart disease is a total nothing.  That cholesterol levels have to be manipulated to a lower value to be “safe” is just a way to sell whatever.  I don’t care how many studies they spew out into journals, I don’t buy a word of it.

I never took cholestorol tests, and I never want to, and if ever it came out of some group of tests, I’m not interested either in any reading.   For me, it’s a big fat nothing.

If you want to know if you have occlusion in your arteries, there should be some whiz bang harmless scanner that should give you a 3d computer model and printout.

As to how to diagnose if a person may get arterial clogging?  Just look at his diet and lifestyle.  If he eats a standard urban diet, if he follows the high carb low fat food pyramid, if he eats the most inflammation causing foods like wheat and derivatives, potatoes and derivatives, vegetable cooking oil, tomatoes and derivatives, soda drinks, sugar bombs, artificial sweeteners, food coloring, cooked meat all the time, combines different foods at every meal, non-organic vegetables all the time, smokes and drinks alcohol all the time, sleeps too late, pours chemicals on himself on a daily basis and takes daily prescription drugs, and artificial vitamins… then we have a winner –  the candidate for heart disease.

It doesn’t take a genius to just ask the person to make a journal of what his activities and diet was like for 1 week.  There’s your risk right there, simple and direct to the point.

From the very premise of the concept of cholesterol I disagree.  So if you are of the western medical mindset, let’s just disagree.  You get your children these cholesterol tests and take the drugs required to lower those numbers… and I’ll stick to my guns and keep my children away from western medical pediatricians of this mindset and industry.

Deciding on our own Typhoon Signals with Typhoon Basyang

by

So Typhoon Basyang finally made it’s run through the streets of Metro Manila, dead on target.  Initially it was headed for Isabela, but changed course from West North West to just West.  Straight towards Quezon Province and into Rizal Province, into Metro Manila.  My wife and I decided on our own if we were sending children to school, or if we were evacuating Marikina for higher ground.  Now that we have the internet and with the PagAsa website updated every 1 hour, we could now make our own decisions.  This is how it happened…

Tuesday 5am I woke up and surfed to www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph and looked at where the storm was.  I saw that the storm had changed course and was now headed straight for Metro Manila.  My wife and I checked the online local newspapers and ABS-CBN News but they were still reporting the 11pm forecast.  Even the PagAsa website still had the 2am forecast.  By 6 am another updated satellite picture and by 7am another updated sattelite picture.  My wife and I decided it was time to take action.

We decided on not sending the children to school.  By 6am in the PagAsa website it showed signal #1  in the Province of Rizal and Bulacan, that is the area where the new Manila Waldorf in Timberland is located.  So this automatically means school is out.  No need to wait for the department of education, they are just getting up from bed.

We decided we were going to evacuate Marikina for higher ground.  We were going to sleep at the Condominium in The Fort with the in-laws on the 8th floor.  This was the very first time the drainage system will be tested in Marikina after the Ondoy flood last year.  We waited until my wife’s car was safe from the number coding scheme and at 10am, we left for higher ground.

I went to my office and did my office work.  Kids stayed indoors in the condominium.

How did Typhoon Basyang perform?  There was a good amount of rain in Quezon City around the area of Quezon Avenue and EDSA around 6pm.  I woke up around 1am to howling winds.  Seemed like we were near the eye of the storm. My 2nd boy also woke up and was watching and observing and listening to the howling wind, put his hand outside the window curious.  Until his mom called him back to sleep.  By 3am the howling had died down and I went back to sleep.

The following morning I asked our driver who stayed in Marikina how the storm went.  He said the water level in the streets covered the side walk and into the first step of our gate.  That would mean 7 to 8 inches of water on the street in front of our house with just this minuscule storm.

It is apparent that the drainage system needs to be re-bored or improved somehow to handle the big typhoons, those typhoons that bring rains 3 days to 2 weeks straight.  This means we have to evacuate with each and every storm that comes.  We will get better at it.

Now in the media they are finger pointing who is to blame as to why the prediction was wrong about the path of the typhoon.  Most people were calm about the typhoon hitting north.  They did not see it on the news on radio or television that the typhoon was coming our way directly in Metro Manila.

I know why.  I observed that the satellite images are automatically updated every hour. But the commentary pages are updated only periodically manually by whoever is in charge.  For example the 2am forecast path remained that way until maybe 8am.  We noticed that.  We did not depend on that.  When we saw the disparity between the 2am forecast and 5 and 6am satellite pictures, we made our own conclusion.  Actually PagAsa updates the storm signals per province every hour, it was the commentary with sketch that is periodically updated… this is the “official word” the media outlets were looking to parrot.

Some suggestions for PagAsa:

1. When there is a storm, have the commentary updates updated every 1 hour.

2. Host the website of PagAsa mirrored out of the Philippines to a remote web server with automatic fail over.  I can do that for you for a fee.  By 2am the Pag Asa website was down in the middle of the storm.  There was a Luzon wide blackout.  My sun broadband was down but my globe broadband was still useful.  If there was a remote server, then people in need of news would still have seen a live pag-asa website.

3. Of course higher pag-asa website capacity, I can provide that too.

Until the next typhoon.  Best wishes to all.

Currently Evacuating Marikina for Higher Ground Due to Typhoon Basyang

by

First Typhoon to hit Marikina after last year’s Ondoy.  It is signal #1 in Rizal Province of which Marikina is part of and the new school Manila Waldorf in San Mateo Rizal is also under signal #1.  So that means no school.  And this is our cue to evacuate Marikina for higher ground.

I woke up around 5 am and checked www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph and saw that typhoon Basyang has changed course from what was expected to go up to Isabela, went down and will be directly hitting us in Rizal.

PAGASA-DOST MTSAT-EIR Satellite Image for 7 a.m., 13 Jul 2010

So we have packed up our important stuff. My wife’s harps in the car, my home computer server brought up to the 2nd floor, and we and the children have packed up some clothes and food to go to my my in laws’ condo in Makati.

Hopefully just overnight. Just not taking any bad chances. Better safe than sorry.

For those of you who don’t remember, we were ground zero last year with typhoon Ondoy.

Bungee Jumping for Children at SM Marikina

by

Last week the children went bungee jumping with grandma at SM Marikina. This Saturday, they wanted more so they badgered me until I gave in. My eldest son did not want to bungee jump this time, he said his badoodles were caught in the straps. Smart boy, can’t have that. Must protect my future grand children.

My 2 younger kids wanted more bungee jumping. Technically, it’s not the bungee jumping like over a bridge with a single cord. This is indoors in a mall with several lines on your left and right. There is an operator who pushes buttons regulating how high you “jump”. Around 120 pesos for 3 minutes of jumping fun. Mostly children are in on it. 2 year olds and above.

It was my girl that “jumped” highest this time. I had a video but found I forgot the cf-card in my camera so I erased the video to make space to take pics of my second boy. Enjoy the pics.

Juicing Ideas: Avocado Shake using Avocados + Raw Coconut Milk + Raw Honey

by

This breakfast, the whole household had raw avocado + raw coconut milk + raw honey shake. We just pop them in the blender. Then put whole ice cubes in our glass. Healthy “ice cream”. Kids like this latest invention. My sister in law invented it.

Now they found a new way to enjoy the avocado shake – by freezing them into ice cubes. Not just ordinary cubes, animal shapes. Their aunt bought them animal shaped ice trays. Cool fun.

This is a fat (avocado) + fat (coconut milk) + some carbs drink. Be full immediately.
