As safe as mother's milk.... this is soursop/Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.
A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to
selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin..."
The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.
Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.
..A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers...
Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds--have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.

This is the awesome fruit, deliciously tasty and high cancer-fighting properties......
This is the fruit, the great fruit that I know even when I was just a little girl. Until now I still dream of my childhood time, climbing on this fruit tree and harvesting them.... and the thrills of touching each grown-up fruit to feel it's ripeness...
And my dream will continue to pick many of these fruits, soft and delicious to eat...and now only to wake up to find these unique curing traits of this particular fruit.
Am pleased and grateful that God provides us such wonderful fruits, rich in phytonutrients and curing properties... God is always fair and loving... We don't actually need to travel or fly anywhere to get nutritious and unique fruits that itself is a 'medicine', food yet a fruit.
We need not import from anywhere... just pick from your garden right here in our country in abundance. It is time we get to know these local delicious fruits, yet to be scientifically explored for its nutritional value and even better, its curing properties. It is so natural and so cheap and within reach...

Detox... a MUST to cleanse our body... our colon, our liver, our blood..
Do you know that there is 5 kg of toxemia in our body? Better believe it...
It is 'safe and smart' for just anyone who understands the importance of detoxification of our body, be it cleansing of liver, of colon or blood.
One has accumulated as time goes by, all different types of 'toxin' and 'waste' inside our body system. To flush out is the best way! When our body is contaminated with toxemia and acidosis, it is the best breeding ground for germs and virus that feed on them. And is that what you want to keep inside your body and be prone to diseases?
Some wastes are so stubborn that water cannot flush them out. These wastes or toxemia are not water soluble thus needs good emulsifiers or fats to dissolve them and expel them. It is a chapter, an important chapter that all of us need to study and be involved in the cleansing processes!
Get rid of the rotten fish and the flies will disappear! This is a concept, but some might not agree. Ask yourself, what have you done in all these years to cleanse or to clear the clog inside your body? What has made our body so acidic?
Due to our body chemistry that can process and manufacture food and drinks, we have to be thankful to all those vital organs like liver and kidney or lungs that have not stopped a second to put things right.
Too many people tend to eat what they feel they like to eat or tempted to eat but never gave a second thought of what is actually needed by our body!
Well, if you feed the wrong fuel to the motor vehicle, will it run? Let's say we use water instead of petroleum into our oil tank, will the car go? Definitely NO!
So, ask yourself, have your eaten healthy or just to please our palate or just to feel the fullness of our stomach? If the answer is no, then you better start doing the cleansing job... go for detox before it is too late. It pays to clear our clogs in our body.... before our body complains and get destroyed... who? We, ourselves destroyed our own body!
Remember, all of us have an 'inner doctor' that can heal itself... it also means THE BALANCING ACT/CURE that our body is capable of doing it. Start with...'DON'T POISON OUR BODY WITH THE UNNECESSARY FOOD STUFF'! We will become what we eat... because we are what we eat!

Let me dedicate this simple article to you, my most lovely mum...
When I was so tiny in your hands...
I looked up and saw your smiles...
When I was crawling on feet and hands...
I looked up and saw your patience...
When I was less than 2 feet tall...
I looked up and saw forbearance...
When I tried on my shoes so big...
I looked up and saw guidance...
When I was in school and with others...
I searched you out among the crowd...
When I was graduating and with others...
I searched you out to give you credits...
When I put on my bridal gown...
I discovered silent but happy tears...
When I waved goodbye to you..
I discovered I was lost without you...
Life goes on...
When I became a mother myself...
I remembered how you bear us with silence...
When I became a mother of five...
I remembered how tough a mother's responsibility is...
Life goes on...
When I see my daughters growing up...
To be grand and brilliant ladies..
When I see my son growing up..
To be great and gentle gentleman...
I remembered all and all...
I remembered how precious a mother can be...
Now that she is a grandmother to many...
Yet she still is the greatest mother of all...
Lacking nothing......yes.. lacking nothing..
She is wisdom and her name is love...
Nothing is complete without a mother...
Nothing is complete without her love....
Seeing is believing, feeling is experiencing, Your body doesn't tell lies...Living healthy and disease-free is our motive!
Zhu Zongxiang talks with his practitioner. He is a wonderful doctor who emphasizes on natural healing and requires no big money to learn and master this simple curing proven to work.
Best of all, he is willing to teach and share to the whole world about this wonderful curing and health maintaining techniques, too good to believe!
You have nothing to lose, right??? He is a doctor of the future... preventing and curing..., I salute him...
Dare you to live 100, DISEASE-FREE & HEALTHY! He says and I say... it is possible! 312 meridians is the answer! [part 3]
Of the 312 meridian exercises, the number of 3 refers to massaging three acupoints of hegu on the hand (left) neiguan on the wrist (center) and zusanli on the knee (right).
"Physical exercise will involve the excitation of all the meridians spreading in the whole body," he explained.
In fact, in Zhu's views, the health benefits of all kinds of physical exercise are actually coming from the enhancement of the meridians in the process.
Daily exercises for 25 minutes will keep people young and vigorous, prevent and treat many senile and difficult diseases and relieve some common diseases, Zhu claims.
During the past 17 years, Zhu had formally trained more than 10,000 people, mostly elderly people. "Though the popularization of the exercise is slow, I obtain valuable proof information from them that the exercise is effective for health promotion," he said.
Zhang Yawen, 74, was a typical beneficiary of 312 exercises. She was a college professor and had long been inflicted by hypertension and arthritis, which often made her sleepless at night.
She claimed her health improved a lot after she followed 312 exercises for a few months. Now she has the confidence to live to 100.
Zhu conducted a study among more than 8,000 people attending his training class, 95 percent of whom suffered from chronic diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, asthma, diabetes and arthritis. Most have seen major improvements after four weeks' practice.
Though Zhu had a strong wish to spread his exercise to a larger population, he still depends on opening workshops and distributing study materials to spread the word.
The founder of 312 meridians said that he feels like A traitor to western medicine... he has his points, well proven [part 2]
The red meridian lines pictured above connect to the major organs of the body. Acupuncture and massage on strategic points along the meridian zones can improve health.
Even after Zhu published his breakthrough findings, the scientific world still did not change their skeptical attitude. And the debate on meridians is ongoing and interpretations of the phenomenon vary among scientists.
In ancient times, meridians was a philosophical concept invented by ancient Chinese doctors to summarize the general functions of the human body, according to Wu Gencheng, director of Institute of Acupuncture Research, Shanghai Medical College of Fudan University. The institute had been researching acupuncture for decades.
"We believe that the meridians' functions are closely related with the nerves, but it is impossible in modern science to find the material equivalent to the meridians described in the ancient time. It is hard to imagine a new passage way in the human body," said Wu.
In a further blow to Zhu's efforts, the Institute stopped funding their research.
Zhu did not give up and established Beijing Yanhuang Meridian Center to design the meridian based exercise to promote people's health and longevity. Zhu calls it the "3-1-2" method.
According to Zhu, 3 refers to massaging three acupoints of hegu on the hand neiguan on the wrist and zusanli on the knee.
1 refers to abdominal breathing, actually a form of simplified qigong (breathing exercise), through which Zhu believed could exercise the meridians in the abdomen area being closely related with chronic diseases.
2 refers to the physical exercise of both legs. Zhu believed the most simple and effective exercise is squatting down and standing up.

Way to live healthy to 100 - 312 Meridian Exercise
Eighty-four-year-old Zhu Zongxiang has the vigor and vitality of man half his age. In a few old and shabby rooms situated near a group of ancient buildings in Beijing, the old doctor has stubbornly persisted in learning more about the meridians of acupuncture for more than 30 years. He often said he was a traitor to Western medicine.
Since the 1950s, he had been teaching physiology, a basic medical subject, in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. However, a decision in 1973 changed his life.
That year, he was inspired by Premier Zhou Enlai's appeal to Chinese medical experts to make clear the theory of acupuncture. Zhou's call for action followed US President Richard Nixon's visit to China in 1972.
Zhu Zongxiang (right) talks with a practioner of 312 meridian exercises.
Zhu joined the acupuncture meridian research group of the Institute of Biophysics under Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Meridian points were discovered in China 2,500 years ago. In Huang Di Nei Jing (The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor), one of the most important ancient medical classics, the meridians were recorded to have the function of "promoting circulation of Xueqi (Blood and Qi) and balancing yin and yang" and "determining life and death and treating hundred diseases."
The meridians were discovered to be a general controlling system for the human body and had the function of preventing diseases and promoting health and longevity. Today, TCM doctors still insert acupuncture needles into the acupoints along the meridians to treat diseases.
However, the existence of the meridians has always been questioned by Western medicine.
To justify the theory, doctor Zhu and his colleagues had spent more than 10 years to experiment with modern methods to demonstrate its biophysical existence.
In the 1980s, the researchers successfully showed the 14 meridians in human body through biophysical methods, which are surprisingly identical to that recorded in ancient classical meridian graph.
For visitors suspicious towards his research, doctor Zhu would proudly demonstrate his two proof tests to them.
He used a mallet to tap different areas on the elbow until the patient heard a loud sound measured through a device similar to the stethoscope. Zhu then marked a red spot at that point.
A line of the red spots determined by the same method is actually showing the position of a meridian, according to Zhu.
He would then place two electrodes of a current meter on the line and stimulation of the current could be felt. When one electrode was placed off the line, one would feel nothing. It showed that the meridian line had the lowest electric impedance, according to Zhu.

>What are omega 3 fatty acids? lubricant for our heart...
They're a nutritional element that first caught researchers' attention about 20 years ago - and what they discovered could have health benefits for anyone worried about a healthy heart.
In the early 1980s, studies showed that the Inuit had low rates of heart disease despite their high-fat diet rich in fish. It turns out the omega 3 fatty acids in the fish may be what protects their hearts, along with other health benefits.
Benefits of Omega 3 Fatty Acids in Heart Disease and Cholesterol
Omega 3 fatty acids are poly-unsaturated fatty acids. Studies show that a diet rich in omega 3 fatty acids may help lower triglycerides and increase HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol). Omega 3 fatty acids may also act as an anticoagulant to prevent blood from clotting. Several other studies also suggest that these fatty acids may help lower high blood pressure.
To me, omega 3 fatty acids are great lubricant inside our blood for a smooth flow... and facilitating smoother movement of our 'engines' or 'pump'

The shocking truth of COQ 10....if you dont believe, then read the dangers of its deficiency...
CoQ Benefits
Q: What are CoQ10 benefits and do you really need another supplement for it?
A: Almost everyone has heard of coenzyme Q10, but most don’t know what it actually is. Once you understand its functions, the benefits are obvious.
CoQ10 is an enzyme which is naturally found in many cells of the body. In fact, it is found in every single mitochondrial cell – and about 95% of your body’s energy is produced by these cells, which convert sugars and fats into energy. Your internal organs (like your heart) need the most energy, which is why you will find the highest concentrations of CoQ10 here.
The Dangers of Deficiency
When there is a deficiency of this enzyme, even the basic metabolic functions of your cells are disrupted. Natural production of this enzyme declines as we age. Furthermore, the use of medications for lowering cholesterol also depletes your levels.
Whether you’re in your twenties or your eighties, there is an overwhelmingly vast amount of scientific research that points to coenzyme Q10 having a substantial impact on your health.

With constant practice of recommended exercises by squatting and standing exercises, a promise of good health and longevity without illness is here. Heed these advices... you lose nothing but gain that much...
What problems does high blood pressure cause?
Both high blood pressure and prehypertension damage your blood vessels. This in turn raises your risk of stroke, kidney failure, heart disease and heart attack.
What is high blood pressure?
Arteries are like hoses that carry blood from your heart to the rest of your body. If you put a crimp in a hose, pressure builds up inside it. High blood pressure (also called hypertension) occurs when your blood moves through your arteries at a higher pressure than normal.
What do the numbers mean?
Blood pressure is really two measurements, separated by a slash when written, such as 120/80. You may also hear someone say a blood pressure is "120 over 80."
The first number is the systolic blood pressure. This is the peak blood pressure when your heart is squeezing blood out. The second number is the diastolic blood pressure. It's the pressure when your heart is filling with blood--relaxing between beats.
A normal blood pressure is less than 120/80. High blood pressure is 140/90 or higher. If your blood pressure is between 120/80 and 140/90, you have what is called "prehypertension," which means that if you don’t take important steps, your blood pressure can turn into high blood pressure.
