Four year old boy doing major detox via allergy symptoms, skin pantal, itches

by

My four year old 2nd son exhibited allergy symptoms beginning around 2pm today. Almost full body itch. Pantals. I don’t know what pantal is in english. His face is misshapen too. And his left ear eczema excreted new fluids.

Serious stuff. Maybe it was the birthday party last saturday afternoon with the dirty ice cream / sorbetes and the party food which included spaghetti with tomato sauce and pork. Maybe the raw salmon we had last night which was farmed was a colored salmon, not fresh enough? Or maybe the raw tuna last night? Maybe the salad dip grandma made with him of which he was the official taster? The dip had extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vineger, manuka mustard and honey, orange.

Our cook Manang Maring doesn’t like us feeding raw fish to the kids. She blames the raw fish and the raw eggs.

Whatever it is. Time to help my son mobilize his detox symptoms. Gave him coconut juice to drink, also prepared avocado leaves tea, also gave him 3 tablespoons of Dr. Tam’s miracle tea, and will give him some apple juice to mobilize his liver.

Little girl’s thumb burned by clothes iron

by

We were in the house when I heard my little 3 year old girl crying her heart out in the adjacent house. I immediately rushed to her aid to find out what was bothering her. It seemed that the help and the aunties have not figured out the problem yet or aren’t doing anything about it. Upon asking my girl she pointed to a burned left thumb, the inner part had a big 1 inch long blister.

Auntie and my wife were busy shushing me to psych out the kid as if “it’s alright, it’s ok”. Crap. This is a time for doctor Daddy action. No psyching out will cure my kid if you don’t act. So I picked up my kid and brought her to our house so I can treat her myself.

I checked what the problem was. Burned left thumb. Looks like first degree. From a clothes iron. I immediately told my wife to get some ice cubes in a cup, then added water. Dunked her little thumb and hand in the ice cold water.

I went out the garden looking for our aloe vera plants. Darn, the big aloe veras were nowhere to be found. I only found some tiny ones. These will have to do for now. So I got one small leaf and opened it up for my girl.

Then I thought about the old aloe vera gel from the health store in the refrigerator. I put it into a cup and replaced the ice water with the stored cold aloe vera gel.

Then I thought, that’s not enough, I need real aloe vera, the big ones. I know two blocks away my office landlord’s house has aloe vera adorning her front side walk. I drove up with a maid and asked her to pluck one big leaf. No need to ring the doorbell. We were in a hurry.

We got home and filleted the bigger aloe vera leaf and mashed it with a spoon in a wooden bowl. After some relief with the cold old aloe vera, it was time for my daughter to transfer her thumb to really fresh aloe vera gel. There she found better relief.

Then I drove up downtown to get some medical tape. I got the idea of using the young aloe vera leaf strips as bandage, the medical tape to hold it in place so there is continuous contact with the healing aloe vera gel and her burned thumb.

Hopefully that will be enough for tonight. Will have to observe her thumb in the next few days.

I’ll have to get to the bottom of how they were able to get near a live hot iron tomorrow.

Sixth Sense… I see sick people… all the time

by

This hobby healing thing is starting bug me.  Now that I know how to heal people for real.  And now that I can diagnose people with their illnesses at first glance… I see sick people… all the time.

It’s something out of the movie Sixth Sense; where a little boy can see dead people’s spirits, all the time.

What bothers me is right off the bat I know how to help them.  But I can’t.  Many of them are so poor they can’t afford real human food.  Many of them are already screwed by drugs and surgery, they are beyond repair.  Many of them are so brainwashed by garbage medical quackery, their intelligence has been downgraded to that of monkeys.

For now I will just close my eyes and hope my conscience doesn’t bother me that much.  Or maybe some of you have ideas how curing people methodically for real can be a profitable and self-sustaining activity.

Lyprinol is green lipped mussel oil plus extra virgin olive oil

by

So my raw Philippine green lipped mussel failed to give me good results.  I get to thinking and analyzing how Lyprinol works.  The product is effective, no doubts about that.  I think it is green lipped mussel oil plus extra virgin olive oil.  Both with anti inflammatory properties.

Do a google on extra virgin olive oil + anti inflammatory and you get all these articles.  Same thing with the research on green lipped mussel oil.  Combine these two items and you have a wonder product.

Now I’m wondering is Lyprinol can totally replace Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs?  Say replace these common pain relievers when it comes to dental work?

Results of my Raw Mussels experiment

by

I experimented eating raw green lipped mussels last Saturday and Monday.  My verdict?  Raw green mussels suck big time.  I do not recommend eating raw green lipped mussels for myself nor any of my family members.

Digesting the raw mussels was very hard on me.  I had an easier time with raw beef.  The transit time to poop was long as well.  And the worst part was I felt bad, sick, like wanting to throw up by Tuesday.

Of course this self experimenter was ready for this case with my dependable herbal colon cleanse Dr. Tam’s Miracle Tea.  So Tuesday night I drank 1/2 cup of the herbal colon cleanse.  I waited in the evening for some much needed poop.  Then in the morning more poop.  Ahhhh…. now I feel great again!

No more mussels for me.  Whether raw or cooked, it is all bad.  What?  You think the quality of your food gets better just because you cooked it?  Does a rotten saba banana get better when you cook it?  Does a rotten mango get better when you cook it?  Big fat no!  Rotten foods are masked by cooking to SEEM edible.  Let’s take raw eggs.   When eggs are rotten you can boil them or fry them and they seem fine, but they were rotten in the first place.  If you always ate your eggs raw,  you would immediately be alerted to the rotten state and merely throw it away.

Back to Philippine green lipped mussels.  Either they are polluted, or not beneficial in the first place.  The great thing about my food experiments is I can isolate the animal food I eat.  My base of clean food is fresh raw fruits.  I have concluded that green lipped mussels are not my food, whether raw or cooked.

Sick people have unhealthy habits

by

Sick people are speeding their cars straight towards the edge of a cliff. They are routinely diagnosed as having x months to live. Well… that is if… a big IF… they continue traveling the sure unhealthy road towards the edge of the cliff.

The problem with for profit “medicine” whether “alternative” or “conventional” is that they are only going to tell the sick their very own profitable “solutions”. They are in it for the money.

Hobby healers like me will tell you in your face what your problem is. I don’t give a hoot about your money. You won’t like what I have to say but it will be an honest opinion.

So I just came visiting to my brother in law’s house. My kids played with their kids. One of their kids was having a snack. Scrambled eggs… of course cooked… probably with salt. I went snooping in the kitchen looking for the common poisons. Ah ha! Two sachets of Aji No Moto MSG aka Mono Sodium Glutamate. Then I found Knorr beef flavoring cubes, more artificial flavoring. Canola oil for frying.  Then there was the well stocked refrigerator. Well stocked with the usual toxic junk, old meats, old processed meats like hotdogs and chicken nuggets.

No wonder my sister in law grew a couple of tumors on her breast. And they thought those were benign. Seeing the junk in their fridge and their kitchen, no wonder she got sick. There is nothing benign about the sickening “food” in their house. Boxed cereals for breakfast for the children!

A few years ago we lived the same way. I think I grew up the same way. That is why I became fat and sick.

When I was fat and wanted to become slimmer I came across a book title that said “Slim people have very picky habits.” That stuck to me. My nutritionist taught me new slimming habits. When I got sick, I evaluated my habits and got rid of sickening habits.

So it is time for a new moto: “Very healthy people have very healthy habits.”

And what are those healthy habits? Plenty. Raw food, fresh food, early to bed, early to rise, relaxing job, loving relationships, fresh air, etc. etc. Would require a blog post of its own.

Maybe I should make house calls. Live with the sick for a day and make comments about how to improve their lives.

Camuigin Lanzones in January

by

My wife and I were in Farmers Market this morning and we stumbled upon lanzones!  Imagine, lanzones in January.  We tasted and tasted until we found a bunch that tasted really fantastic.

The seller said the lanzones came from Camuigin.  His sources say that after the terrible typhoon last year, all of a sudden by the end of this year the lanzones started blooming and fruiting again!

Ah nature.  Making up for the lost reproductive opportunity last year.  There was a lanzones shortage last year due to the big typhoon.  I don’t know how long this mini bloom will last.  The lanzones we got came in at P 120 / kilo.  Expensive, but not that exorbitant yet.
