Tropical Fruits on the 1st of July 2010: Watermelon, Papaya, Avocados, Santol, Guava, Indian Mangoes

by

Yesterday was the 1st of July 2010 and these are the fruits in season now in Manila, Philippines. We bought these at the Marikina wet market.

Tropical Fruits in Manila July 2010

The bottle in the middle is bagoong / alamang – small shrimp paste that goes well with the indian green mangoes.

What these fruits are good for?

Watermelon is for hydration and bowel movement.

Papayas are the 2nd highest source of vitamin C, digestive enzymes and good for bowel movement.

Avocados provide plant fats.

Santol has a certain taste to it but doesn’t make you full. I don’t know what it’s good for yet.

Guava is the highest source of vitamin C.

Indian mango is the 3rd highest source of vitamin C.

None of these are sugar bombs.

How to Eat Organ Meat: Eat Tiny Dulong Fish with Duck Eggs

by

Here is a nutritious idea for those who need to consume raw organ meat. Eat tiny dulong fish ala sashimi. These are ultra tiny fish where a spoonful is dozens of fish and a whole meal is hundreds of whole tiny fish, heads, innards, and all. With this much nutrition, you easily grow full. Try it. It’s easy.

If you are not accustomed to fully raw, you can make an omelet with some duck eggs in this example.

Seared Omelet of Tiny Dulong Fish and Duck Egg

What really rocks and is nutritious is fully raw. I uploaded full size 2048 pixels wide pics here so you can blow it up and appreciate just how tiny these dulong fish are. There is one non-dulong fish that looks much bigger. I ate that too.

Dulong is salty by itself, so no need to add salt. When we buy at the market I just get 1/4 kilo at a time. Cheap at 40 pesos for 1/4 kilo. I can’t eat much of the dulong without the egg for fat. The dulong is too lean, too much protein, so you need to add your egg to balance off the protein so you can eat more of it.

Enjoy the pics!

CCHR: Psychiatrists target infants as mental patients

by

A new study, published in the American Journal of Psychiatry and headed by psychiatrist John H. Gilmore, professor of psychiatry and Director of the UNC Schizophrenia Research, claims to be able to detect “brain abnormalities associated with schizophrenia risk” in infants just a few weeks old. We would like to point out the obvious flaw in this bogus study; there is no medical/scientific test in existence that schizophrenia is a physical disease or brain abnormality to start with. There is not one chemical imbalance test, X-ray, MRI or any other test for schizophrenia, not one. So with no evidence of medical abnormality to start with, the “associated with schizophrenia risk” amounts to what George Orwell called Doublespeak (language that deliberately disguises, distorts, misleads)—it means nothing.

Pre-Crime? Try Pre-Diagnose and Pre-Drug: Psychiatrists target infants as mental patients

Not everything is determined by biology before birth. There is such a thing as nurturing. Don’t let the infant listen to radio or watch television, his brain is still networking.

Don’t give the infant drugs, don’t put vaccines in the child. Vaccines don’t work and at the same time they’re harmfull.

My Healer Manang Lorna the Herbalist is Available for Diabetes Patients

by

My old healer who helped me in 2005 just called me that she will be available for healing patients beginning next week. She says this rainy season diabetes patients will be a good time for her to see.

Manang Lorna is a 3rd generation healer / herbalist currently living in Morong, Bataan. Her style of healing is she lives with you and analyzes your illness every waking hour. She makes recommendations and she needs you to drive her around to collect fresh herbs. Her forte is she uses only freshly picked herbs she picks herself. She makes diet recommendations and has some faith healing involved.

She has her own form of humor and her language is in Tagalog and Chabacano (Zamboanga). She can help you with other diseases, like mine, she helped me with my eczema and she helped my brother with his deathly psoriasis.

She will probably not name a price. But ethically, you should offer her something like 1,000 per day.

Please call Manang Lorna directly at 0907-4316173.

Filipinos high risk for development of Atopic Dermatitis

by

Are we Filipinos really genetically pre-disposed to Atopic Dermatitis? Or is our diet and behavior PRO-Atopic Dermatitis? I think genetics is a cop out. If I had continued to live my life like a “normal” Filipino, then I and my children would be eczema riddled. What had to change is that we steered away from the normal Filipino diet and lifestyle:Continue Reading

Glee Character Rachel avoided Tonsilectomy via anti-biotics, herbs and rest

by

I was pleased with the conclusion of the Glee episode where the lead singer Rachel lost her voice due to some tonsil infection.  And just in character, the TV doctor recommended tonsilectomy, tonsil removal.  Of course the Glee character Rachel did not want any tonsilectomy as that could probably change / damage her singing voice.

It was awful to see the Rachel character come to school eating a junk food breakfast of cerial and milk… definitely a recipe for losing one’s voice that causes inflammation and mucus formation.

Luckily at the end of the show, Rachel meets the paralyzed guest character and tells him her infection had gone away via anti-biotics, herbs and rest.  And she got to sing the duet song titled “One”.

See?  It’s all a matter of priority.  If singing is your life, then you do what it takes to avoid surgery, avoid tonsilectomy, even the writers of a television show know that.

In contrast, the Glee script killed the hopes of the kid on a wheel chair with the guidance counselor telling him to stop dreaming that he could walk again with the “new” research.  Isn’t this where stem cells come in and save the day?

It’s been a Glee ful weekend and we finished watching episodes 14 to 22 of Glee.  Nice songs.
