On health & wealth (HOPP in Saujana Impian - Part II)

Ok, sambung perbincangan masa HOPP di rumah Pn +Nina. Selain cerita tentang healing crisis masing2, sebenarnya banyak catch-up sessions antara kami. Al maklum, dah lama tak jumpa. Orang perempuan kalau bersembang jangan buat main. Tapi kalau borak dengan Pn +Nina, insya Allah tak ada sembang2 kosong. Semuanya very informative. Sebab tu selalunya my husband tak kasik kitorang selalu berjumpa. Dia takkan percaya lepas meeting 2 jam terus balik. Katanya mesti ada 'meeting after meeting' yang akan makan masa berjam2. Hehe. Memang betul pun. 

Antara yang dibincangkan ialah one of her latest blog update, berkenaan dengan status Pn +Irna di FB : 

Betul jugak. Apa maksud badan yang berasid? Kenapa boleh jadi berasid? Macam mana nak neutralkan badan kita ni? Rupa2nya Pn Nina dah share dalam blog dia tentang masalah ni. Kite ni dah lama tak update blog, apetah lagi nak jenguk blog orang lain, so she explained a little. Kalau ada masa, boleh baca explanation yang panjang lebar di blog Pn Nina. Pendek kata, tak semestinya makanan yang ada sifat asid tu, boleh menjadikan badan kita berasid. Contohnya limau, kalau kita makan, bahan kimianya akan bertukar dalam badan dan menghasilkan alkali di dalam badan. So limau, walaupun sifat asalnya ialah berasid, sebenarnya makanan yang beralkali untuk badan. Reishi / Lingzhi pula ialah sejenis 'alkaline forming', iaitu boleh menghasilkan alkali dalam badan. Menjadi isu bila orang kata kopi tak boleh ambil banyak sangat sebab coffee tu acidic. Tapi sebab dalam CEO Cafe yang kita jual tu ada Yung Kien Lingzhi dalam dia, keasidan kopi tu akan dineutralkan oleh lingzhi tu tadi. Sebab tu lah kopi kita best! :D

Bercakap tentang CEO Cafe, ada lagi satu yang nak kongsi, in case ramai yang belum tahu. CEO Cafe terdapat dalam 2 jenis - with sugar & without sugar. Untuk orang yang ada masalah kencing manis / darah tinggi, perlu elakkan makanan yang tinggi kandungan gula, boleh lah minum CEO Cafe 3-in-1 TANPA GULA. Pahit tak? Mestilah! Kopi biasa pun pahit, tambah lagi dengan Yung Kien Lingzhi yang baik untuk hati tu, confirm pahit! Ye, makanan yang sedap2 tu kebanyakannya tak elok untuk badan. So lebih baik kita sedapkan badan dari sedapkan tekak ^_^. Tapi kalau tak tahan pahit jugak, boleh lah ambil CEO Cafe 4-in-1, ada gula premix dalamnya. Tapi gula yang digunakan ialah raw cane sugar. Bukan gula biasa yang dijual di pasaran tu yer. Mesti ramai yang tak tau dari mana datangnya nama CEO Cafe tu kan? Sebenarnya, Shuang Hor's R&D department telah mengambil masa selama lebih kurang 2 tahun untuk mendapatkan formula yang terbaik untuk premix coffee yang bakal dihasilkan dan formula terakhir yang terpilih tu telah diluluskan oleh our own CEO di Taiwan, hence the name - CEO Cafe. :) 

Antara yang dibincangkan lagi masa HOPP haritu, tentang Pollen - Wind Pollenated vs Insect Pollenated. Our Yung Kien Pollen is insect-pollenated, and the 1 sachet of granular pollen equals to 6 capsule of pollen. So, kalau nak makan our pollen, terpulanglah ikut citarasa nak telan kapsul or bancuh dalam air. Dan lagi satu, tentang one of our products - Calcium tablet. Our calcium tablet is the only calcium that has lingzhi in it. Wah. Memang unik! Rugi tak makan. I took calcium tablet during my 1st trimester of pregnancy. Alhamdulillah tak ada masalah langsung, lagi dentist puji gigi cantik mase pregnant ade la. :D

The last session of our HOPP was the bonus calculation untuk sesiapa yang menjadi ahli. Sebab Farhana masih belum jelas tentang perkiraan, so lama sikitlah nak belajar kira2 yang teliti, sebab dia nak prepare untuk explain kat 3 tauke kedai mamak yang die jual CEO Cafe tu. Farhana target nak dapat dalam RM200 je sebulan. Antara kitorang ada yang target RM2k, RM20k, dan sebanyak mungkin. Huhu, macam2. Yang paling best dalam Shuang Hor ni, tak kiralah target kita RM20 atau RM20k sekalipun, asas nya sama. Registration fee RM35 and that's it. Bukan nak kata siapa yang nak bonus RM20k kena bayar lebih ke ape. Takde pun. Sama je, RM35 SAHAJA. Sebab tu walaupun umur, target, agama dan warna kulit berbeza, kami semua boleh join kelas yang sama. Takde yang berbeza pun. :)

Alhamdulillah, the first HOPP for 2014 berjalan dengan lancar. Terlajak sampai ke petang but in future will be more disciplined supaya sempat balik rumah awal untuk kemas2 apa yang patut sebelum 'big boss' balik. ^_^ The next HOPP will be next week, insya Allah in Hulu Langat. Kalau ada sesiapa nak join, boleh tinggalkan contact number untuk dihubungi. Ok, till the next one!

Congenital Nephrosis

A 2 MONTHS OLD boy was diagnosed with Congenital Nephrosis in 2000. Both kidneys were only 10% functional at that time. Urea & creatine levels were much higher than normal :

Urea level - 22.5mmol/l

Creatine level - 203.3mmol/l

Early symptoms :

1) very serious diarrhoea

2) frequent vomiting

3) poor appetite

4) weight loss

5) weak. sleep interrupted every 10mins

At this stage, doctor recommended DIALYSIS. 

The parents refused to proceed with doctor's recommendation. So the boy started consuming Shuang Hor's products in May 2000.

He started with :

18 Lingzhi, 36 Pollen, 4 Soy Protein & Luchun Tea

Early reactions after taking SH products : Constipation & very very stinky stool

Positive reactions after taking SH products :

1) diarrhoea & vomiting reduced

2) constipation improved

3) appetite improved

4) weight increased (3.7kg - 9kg)

In March 2001, he went for medical checkup, Urea & Creatine level were very much improved :

Urea level - 10.2mmol/l

Creatine level - 57mmol/l

Dosage was maintained with :

2 Lingzhi, 6 Pollen, 2 Soy Protein, Luchun Tea

**Note : Other than those mentioned above, early symptoms can be discovered by observing puffiness in certain parts of the body (face/feet/hands/tummy) due to kidney failure which cause water retention.

Naema : An Eczema survivor story

When my baby was 6 months old, she suffered from eczema-like symptoms. A doctor-friend diagnosed her as having skin infections on eczema. Her body temperature raised up in the first few days while she's battling with the skin irritations. This happened about a year ago, something that I've post-poned to share for too long. ^_^ Here are some of the evidences to say it all ...

22/02/2012 - Day 01
Red spots appeared on both arms in the morning. Fed her Yung Kien Lingzhi (Half capsule / day) and Soy Protein.

23/02/2012 - Day 02
More red spots on both arms and legs. Near to the joints - elbows & knees.
Also some red spots appeared on her neck-chest area.
She had rice & carrot for breakfast. By noon - vomited EVERYTHING. By evening, temperature starts to rise to 37.8C
Red spots also appeared on her bottom. Applied VCare Body Lotion on the bottom and Greenzhi for the rest of her body. Spots became more intense red. By this time, Naema refused to eat and breastfeed. Had to force-BF her. Still on Yung Kien Lingzhi (Half capsule / day)

24/02/2012 - Day 03
No more increase of the red spots and they have started to dry. Still taking Yung Kien Lingzhi, Greenzhi on the spots (very good to dry out wounds faster)

29/02/2012 - Day 08
Red spots have completely dried. Dried skins are peeling off. Applied VCare Body Lotion to  enhance recovery. 

01/03/2012 - Day 09
Most dried skins have peeled off (naturally and while slowly scrubbing during bath)

05/03/2012 - Day 13
Alhamdulillah. Fully recovered. :)

Of course, this happened in 2012. And now, she's healthier than before. Kindly note that during the whole process, she only rely on her own body immune system to recover and no drugs / steroid creams were prescribed. She only took Yung Kien Lingzhi, Pollen and Jia Hor Soy Protein. And on the skin, I bathe her with VCare Showergel and applied Greenzhi and VCare Body Lotion until the whole body is totally recovered. Up till now, I apply Body Lotion everytime after her bath with VCare Showergel. I put on Greenzhi once in a while if she got some insect bites. 

:)

It's now or never!

Assalamualaikum and Greetings to everyone!

How is your 2012 so far? We are approaching to the end of this year and looking forward to a more promising 2013 with so many plans laid out already. Can't wait! But I'm not going to leave my dearest readers with nothing after the super long hibernation (from the blog, not in real life ^_^). Please find a very good sharing, happened  yesterday during our Bahasa Melayu OPP in Bandar Sri Damansara.

This video is a testimony shared on a 49 years old female who has just got over her battle against Fibroid, Cyst and Gastro Esophagus Reflux Disorder (GERD). It all started 11 years ago when she experienced great discomfort - specifically in the groin region and back. The pain was similar to period pain. She had also accompanying head and body aches. She visited a doctor and was diagnosed with multiple-cysts at the time she was pregnant but her doctor said that it's benign (not cancerous) and nothing to be worried about. Following her doctor's advice, she ignored the cysts and delivered her baby.

In 2012 - 11 years later, she experienced the pain again. This time, it's more intense. Upon visiting a local doctor, she was diagnosed with multiple fibroids and cysts. All of these were smooth and round - like they are supposed to but it was observed that one of them is mis-shapened. Not wanting to undergo invasive treatments suggested by local doctors; in this case, it's surgery, she was determined to try alternative solution by consuming Shuang Hor's products - after many years of hearing about the goodness of it. Started with a very minimal dosage of 12 capsules of Lingzhi per day, she experienced extreme healing crisis such as very painful contraction-kinda-feeling and very bad cramps. Even though the healing crisis were no fun at all, she did not give up until one day, visible 'crystal jellies' were excreted from her body, along with black stool and foul-smelling urine. For some, this might be worrying but for us who understand how miracle our body is, the stool and discharge are a sign of success, where all this while, they have been accumulated in our body and have burden our organs thus making the body feel very ill. This patient came to a point that she was so satisfied with the result and wanted to speed up her recovery by taking 1 box of Yung Kien Twinpack per day until all the bad stuffs from her body are flushed out from the system.

After all the uncomfortable reactions she experienced in months (mind you, she's been suffering from Fibroid, Cyst and GERD since 11 years ago), she is now said to feel a whole lot better and much healthier than she ever was.

Alhamdulillah. :)

Resipi kesihatan mudah di bulan Ramadhan!

Tinggal beberapa minggu sahaja lagi umat Islam akan berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan. Berpuasa bukan sahaja diamalkan oleh umat Islam, tetapi agama lain juga menyarankan pengikutnya untuk berpuasa untuk menyucikan diri.

"Seluruh pakar perubatan telah bersetuju bahawa kantung perut yang penuh disebabkan banyak makan adalah punca utama kepada bermacam-macam penyakit terutamanya kegendutan yang menyebabkan timbulnya sub penyakit lain. Maka, puasa adalah satu-satunya cara yang dapat memelihara anggota badan daripada semua penyakit kerana melaluinya unsur-unsur racun di dalam makanan dapat dineutralkan setelah berpadu di antara satu sama lain. Dalam bidang perubatan, kesan lapar adalah lebih baik daripada penggunaan ubat secara berterusan. Manusia digalakkan berpuasa walaupun tidak menghadapi sebarang penyakit. Ini kerana ia dapat membersihkan badan dari racun-racun yang berkumpul di dalamnya.

Banyak kajian perubatan mengaitkan berpuasa dengan memberi peluang organ-organ di dalam sistem badan (terutamanya sistem pencernaan/penghadaman) untuk berehat. Jadi, berpuasa adalah jalan terbaik bagi memulihkannya kerana dengannya wujud satu sistem baru dalam badan yang bertindak mematikan sel-sel lama / toksin untuk digantikan dengan sel-sel baru yang lebih baik dan bertenaga." - Disertasi, Kebaikan Berpuasa 07

Lingzhi sememangnya sudah dikenali dengan keistimewaannya untuk menyahtoksin hingga ke peringkat sel. Jadi, puasa adalah masa yang paling sesuai untuk seseorang yang betul-betul ingin mencuci dan menguatkan sistem dalam badan dan mengambil Lingzhi. Di sini, disertakan resipi yang lazat dan menarik untuk dicuba :)

Early stage

So recently I've been reading many articles & info regarding the first trimester of pregnancy. Most experiences are the same but of course there are some incidents or difficulties one has to encounter. This might not be the case to others, but hey, there's always bumps in the road but that does not mean you won't reach to your destination, right?

Well, by now I knew that total care is super essential during the early stage. Not that I was not aware of before, but after experiencing it yourself, only then you would understand what it really means. It taught me not to do any heavy-lifts, don't be too aggressive, don't be stressed, watch out for bumps while you're driving, EAT ON TIME, and many other things should be considered BEFORE you are confirmed to be pregnant. This means, even if you haven't gone for the test, just to be on the safe side, avoid doing all those mentioned above (and few other things which should be common sense to normal people) until you are confirmed NOT PREGNANT. This is to avoid any unwanted incidents that could affect your pregnancy.

One of the not-too-rare cases is to bleed in the early pregnancy. It could due to implantation bleeding, which is not harmful but it could also lead to otherwise. The best thing to do when you experience spotting/staining (even just a little bit), just go for a checkup with your gynae and check the condition of your pregnancy. If the 'beanie' is still in there but you are still bleeding, it's sometimes called 'threatened miscarriage'. From the name itself, it sounds like just a threat but according to some, it's important to have a full bedrest at home, at least until the spotting is clear for a few days or till your gynae confirmed that your pregnancy is safe. Usually threatened miscarriage is a 50/50 chance. So better not to take any risk, just have a complete bedrest MOST IMPORTANTLY if you don't feel pain at all. Because I know it's difficult to just lie down in bed like a sick person, without actually being sick but trust me, it's all worth it.

Duphaston is a hormon replacement that might be a favourite option for some gynaes. I do not fancy any drugs, of course, but during this situation, I tend to balance out everything. After doing some investigation on that particular drug, I decided to stop consuming it especially when my own sister affirmed me that it has been discontinued in the UK for some reason. So the only 'medication' I took were just the Shuang Hor products. I took a high dosage of YungKien LingZhi, Pollen for the folic acid and nutrients, VitaKing to strengthen the muscle - avoid miscarriage, insya Allah, and Soy Protein for fetus development and growth. Alhamdulillah, after 1 week, my beanie showed tremendous improvement and I just can't wait for the first trimester to be over. Just so that I don't have to wake up feeling anxious every time. But all in all, my cravings are good. I eat like every 30 minutes and I drink every 5 minutes. No morning sickness so far and things are getting better day after day.

:)

In pain.

About 3 weeks ago, my mom was hospitalized as she was suspected suffering from Dengue. The early symptoms were bodyaches, very weak and tired, and high-temperature fever. Since she was in the hometown at that time, my auntie brought her to the clinic where she was immediately sent to the hospital via ambulance as her platelet reading was very low. When she was admitted, her platelet count (PC) was 46,000, where normal PC should range within 150,000 to about 400,000 per microlitre of blood. Her temperature at that time was around 40°C. She was dripped with loads of water, on both her left and right hand, immediately. At this point, she was very weak and in pain.

I was already on my way back to hometown when I got the news she was admitted. Thanks to the 2½ hours delay of the train, I arrived around 8.30pm and went straight to the hospital. Mom looked really tired. I immediately asked her to take YungKien LingZhi with Pollen. She was too weak to decline and my cousin and I stayed there till after 10pm, not being aware of the visiting hour. Mind you, she was in the HDW (High Dependancy Ward) which is under the Incentive Care Unit.

We fed her with lots of Kiwi fruits, Crab soup (known to increase platelets tremendously but her appetite was not so good), JiaHor Soy Protein with Hi-Fibre, and opened-capsules of Lingzhi poured into the CEO Café, everyday. Even though the mixture of CEO Cafe with opened capsules of LingZhi was very bitter, mom disciplined herself consuming those ingredients. On the 2nd day, her temperature has already gone down to normal. Her lowest PC was 16,000 and she was discharged on her 5th day, with PC of 79,000. We got back home on the same day she was discharged and up till now, she's still feeling a little weak, but getting better day by day. We understand that the virus still linger in the body and need some time to fully recover, with lots of rest. On the 5th day at home, BIL brought him for a quick blood test just to make sure she's doing fine. The doctor did PC and liver test on her and Alhamdulillah, the result turned out good. Her PC was 370,000 and her AST and ALT reading were slightly higher than usual but did not exceed 100, which the Doctor said was totally fine, but plenty of rest is essential.

Yesterday, exactly 1 week after my mom was brought back home, I woke up having body aches and a slight temperature on my body. Knowing that the virus has intervened my immune defense, I quickly consumed CEO Cafe, Jia Hor Soy Protein, together with Jia Hor TwinPack to develop back my immune system fast. I suffered from painful body aches throughout the day up till midnight. I woke up around 12am and felt a bit better, drank lots of water, and tried to walk around in pain to help my body heal itself. This morning, I woke up with less pain, and less heat in my body. I hope to be fully recovered soon as I need to attend my first conference in 3 days time. And Alhamdulillah, after all the vomits of phlegms and going back and forth to the toilet every hour, I did not suffer from asthma. Not even wheezing or shortness of breath. And I could sleep soundly when I felt sleepy. That's a huge relief. :)

Right now, I'm hibernating (rest, rest, and REST...) till my body is healthy again, insya Allah.

Phew.

An Analysis into the Constituents of Pollen

Pollen and Its Perfect Composition

Pollen is highly regarded by the western world mainly because it is rich in a wide spectrum of vitamins in addition to various minerals, enzymes, hormones, antibiotic substances, etc. In contrast, most other foods consist of only one type of vitamin or two. As such, regular consumption of pollen can arrest the phenomenon of nutritional imbalance. Besides, pollen is also exceptionally beneficial to the healthy developmental growth of children. As pollen contains active amino acids, it is an indispensable natural food to fuel our daily activities. In fact, the nutritive content of pollen is more than 10 times that of royal jelly.

With its rich supply of vitamins, pollen has always been regarded as the miraculous food endowed by Mother Nature. In particular, it offers almost the entire family of vitamins B. Actually, the varying groups of vitamins offered by pollen are a class above the non-active vitamins found in nutritional supplements or the so-called vitamin-enriched foods sold in the market today. The amount of active vitamins in pollen is ten times higher than that of non-active vitamins.

Bee-fact : Honey bees are the only insects that produce food for humans

The World's Most Nutritive Natural Food - Pollen

What is Pollen?

Pollen is the male reproductive cells or microspores produced by and discharged from the anther of a seed plant. While a grain of pollen is extremely tiny, measuring only about 1/50mm - 1/100 mm in diameter, they are present in large quantities. Seed plants depend on pollens to fertilize ovules in the pistil to propagate. Upon fertilization, a grain of pollen can grow into tens of thousands times its original size within a matter of only several days, thus its highly nutritive composition is evident.

Wind-pollinated flowers are fertilized by pollen carried on the wind. For this type of flowers, the pollens are smoother, small in size, and dry, making them to be easily dispersed when the wind blows. The flowers of many other plants are insect-pollinated, as their stickier and heavier pollen grains are so evolved to depend on bees and other insects for dispersion. Edible pollens, mostly gathered by bees, are not only richer in nutrients but also safe for human consumption. In contrast, pollens of wind-pollinated flowers tend to cayse pollen-related diseases, and hence are inappropriate for human consumption. Bees used their fore legs to harvest pollen grains, which after mixing with nectar and saliva secreted by the bees to form pollen balls, are subsequently stored in the pollen baskets located on their hind legs before being taken back to the beehive as their staple food. Bee larvae are fed with these pollen balls and their body-size can grow a thousand folds after their birth within only several days. This exceptional rate of growth is attributed to the nutriments provided by the pollen balls.

The Composition of Pollen

According to research works carried out by nutritionists, the wide spectrum of nutrients provided by a grain of pollen is hitherto unmatchable to any single food on earth. It has been proven that pollen contains up to 200 different types of nutritive components, of which more than 16 are vitamins, more than 16 are minerals, more than 96 are enzymes and coenzymes, more than 21 are amino acids, more than 28 are nucleic acids, as well as a good number of carbohydrates, in addition to many other nutrients.

1) Amino acids : Amino acids are the fundamental building blocks of protein. While different groups of amino acids constitute different types of protein molecules, more than half of the protein types contained in pollen exist in the form of free amino acids, which can be directly assimilated by the human body without having to go through the digestive processes.

2) Vitamins : Pollen is rich in vitamins of high bio-availability, these include vitamins A, D, E, K, M, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, folic acid, nicotinic acid, and inositol, which can all be readily assimilated.

3) Minerals : Pollen also contains trace elements and a wide variety of minerals, including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, silicon, sulfur, iron, copper, sodium, calcium, and titanium.

4) Enzymes and coenzymes : These include amylase (starch enzyme) and proteinase (protein enzyme), which are helpful in effectively breaking down food molecules, and hence are indispensable in our metabolic processes.

5) Nucleic acids : These include nucleotide and purine.

6) Carbohydrates : These include many types of simple sugar such as monosaccharides and disaccharides, which cater the human body with the energy it needs to fuel its activities.

Natural Pollen

Natural Pollen is purely formulated using pollen grains collected by honeybees. In ensuring 100% bio-availability of the nutriments, raw pollen grains are subject to safety and hygienic processes to get rid of the impurities and bacteria before being extracted under the most stringent temperature and humidity controls. It is absolutely free from artificial chemicals, additives, preservatives, or any other substances not originated from pollen itself.

The health-care attributes of pollen include :

-Promotes longevity

-Encourages developmental growth in children and strengthens their physique

-Helps prevent pathologic changes in the vascular system

-Controls bodyweight

-Helps prevent the onset of diabetes and heart diseases

-Elevates vitality and strengthens liver functions

-Enhances facial radiance and regulates menstruation

-Eases menopausal disturbances

-Aids in gastrointestinal diseases

-Helps prevent cancerous diseases

-Helps prevent common cold

-Helps in the prevention and treatment of prostatitis

-Alleviates the conditions of constipation and diarrhea

-Improves the conditions of anemia

-Increases sperm counts

-Removes fatigue

-Helps prevent premature ageing

Vertigo Reactions

In one of Shuang Hor's OPP Slide pages, there's one titled "Initial responses generally experienced after taking LingZhi". These are :

1) Improvement of subjective symptoms (eg : headaches)
2) Normal appetite
3) Normal sleep
4) Normal excretion
5) Fresh with vitality
6) Vertigo Reactions

What are Vertigo Reactions?

Vertigo Reactions = Getting Well Reactions (Detoxification)

*Vertigo Reactions are temporary signs with no cause for alarm

Examples of possible Vertigo Reactions :

1) Existing symptoms à slightly aggravated
2) Appetite à reduce/increase craving for food
3) Sleep à unable to sleep well
4) Excretion à constipation or diarrhea
5) Alertness à frequent bouts of fatigue, sleepy
6) Others à thirst, farting, urticaria (itchy on skin), etc.

**During consumption of LingZhi, there is no need to stop on-going medication or therapy (if any)

Personally, I've experienced different reactions throughout my long term of LingZhi consumption. I started with Lu Chun LingZhi Tea, and then to JiaHor LingZhi, JiaHor Nutri-Health Tablet, CEO Café up till the very amazing YungKien LingZhi. I also compliment my daily dosage with JiaHor Soy Protein, Jia Hor Hi-Fibre, and recently, I put some JiaHor Seasoning Powder to my dishes and it tastes good too. :)

To some of you, you may think that I must be earning so much that I can afford consuming all of the products at once! Well, not really. I don’t consume all at once. I keep taking LingZhi continuously every month and compliment it with other products once in a while. I consume according to my budget. And the benefits I got from the products have actually driven me to do the business so that I can consume more products with more discounts, and hopefully one day, FOC! It is possible, but definitely takes time and effort and lots, lots of patience. At the same time, I can share my knowledge to help others to improve their lifestyle to a healthy one too. 

But for this post, let me just focus on my reactions I have experienced so far...

When I started taking JiaHor LingZhi few years back, only I experienced real and visible reactions. First, it was the headache¹ (OK, this is not visible ;P). For those of you who started to get this reaction, I understand if you feel like quitting because I TOO HATE HEADACHES! Very painful, felt like vomiting (and sometimes I literally did), can’t do any work, and you have that urge to bang your head on the wall. Stop! But knowing that it’s a first sign of a positive reaction, I was patient enough to bear with the pain and suck it all in, and Alhamdulillah, I got through it. Few days later, I started to have some rashes² on my knees. I remember this happened after having few prawns for lunch.

And then I experienced having a massive discharge. Usually this type of reaction only happened to those with menstruation problem. I used to have clots during my monthly and that clots actually contribute to period-pain where most people say it is normal since we have ‘Panadol Menstrual’ selling at all 7-11 stores. But some people have light and some people suffer from bad period-pain. There are people who do not suffer any pain at all during menstruation. So ladies, face the fact that period-pain is NOT normal.

When I started consuming CEO Café 2 sachets per day, consistently, I started to have itchiness² on my hands after 2 weeks. It continued with a slight fever and the itchiness/rashes developed throughout my whole body. I knew at that time it was one of vertigo reactions but when I couldn’t handle the rashes, I went to see the Doctor and get some cream to relieve the itchiness. Some said it was hay-fever. Doctor suspected dengue fever (because red spots started to appear on both of my hands) and did a blood test on me but the result was negative. Thank God. I continued CEO Café consumption and used VCare Shower Gel for bathing, on top of applying medicated-cream given by Doctor and also some GreenZhi paste on the rashes. Result : rashes got dried out and skin started peeling off -- To those of you who were there during my skin-change, you know how it was, right? It’s like getting back from Port Dickson after sun-bathing for a few days. My skin dropped off everywhere! Erkkhh. After couple of weeks, everything got back to normal. :D

Also after CEO Café consumption that I realized my bowel habit was getting better. I am not sure when did I start to have constipation but I never remember going to the toilet to do that ‘thing’ everyday. So, probably since I was a small kid. Hm.

More reactions happened after complimenting LingZhi intake with other products. My stool texture becoming better after consuming JiaHor Hi-Fibre. Less hairfall and dandruff since I have been using VCare Scalpcare Shampoo and having JiaHor Soy Protein for breakfast every morning. There was one time I had a tiny layer of cataract-like on my white-eye. Went to check with the Doctor and she said it was common and nothing to be afraid of. Only that after 20 years I need to undergo a surgery to remove it. Hm. What a relieving explanation. I am not blaming the doctors, though. I am sure it’s written like that somewhere in their syllabus. I just don’t like to attend surgeries, that’s all. So I rinsed my eyes with GreenZhi. And few days later that ‘thing’ in my eye was gone. Alhamdulillah.

After I have secured my first day-job, I started consuming YungKien LingZhi every month. I started with high dosage of 12 capsules per day together with about 20 capsules of YungKien Pollen and the first week made me went to the toilet not less than 10 times per day. I was pee-ing heavily and was told by more experienced people that it’s a sign of kidney-cleansing. After that, I did not experience much reaction so I reduced my consumption (due to a very tight budget) but continuously everyday.

Last 2 weeks I had a fever. It’s been a while since I experienced one. I started to get a slight temperature on Wednesday. By Friday, my fever was gone. During this period, I consumed about 6-10 JiaHor LingZhi per day. And then I had sore throat. As advised by AN, I opened up 1 capsule of JiaHor LingZhi and pour directly to my throat. Only 1/3 of the capsule went through with that method. The rest had to be mixed into my coffee. Very bitter. ;P On Sunday morning, I started to cough³ a little. Towards late in the afternoon, coughing became worse. I increase the dosage and by late evening, my JiaHor consumption was 15 capsules on that day. About couple of hours before I hit bed, my breathing was normal. I could inhale deeply and no wheezing at all. Alhamdulillah… 

Long-term of LingZhi consumption can definitely prevent diseases to build-up in your body and could cure/reverse current disease you’re suffering…insya Allah. J

¹Back when I was 12 years old, I suffered from a very bad headache almost every day for about a year

²I used to have a bad allergy towards fish when I was <8 style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> keropok ikan, fishcake, even those tiny anchovies! No-no. The only F-food I could consume at that time was Bawal Putih fish. Maybe because it’s pricey. (my high-taste preference showed at an early young age, huh ;P)

³I have a history of asthma when I was much younger. The worst asthma attach when I was 16-17 years old. EVERYTIME I have a cough, I will definitely get shortness of breath at night, wheezing. Usually I have to spend few nights sitting body straight-up on sofa, not sleeping, in my living room, where it’s a larger space compared to my bedroom so that I can get air to breathe easily.

LingZhi for Your Cats (or Pets).

I have cats. A lot of them. Short hair, Long hair, Persian, Siamese, you name it. I have (or had) all of them. I've been wanting to have a Scottish Fold! Haven't got the chance, yet. Maybe because haven't got enough fund to afford one! Haha. Any free Scottish Fold? Ehem. So. It started since 1994. My cousin gave us these two most adorable cats - Garfield and Simba. Both were male, orange, long hair, cute and playful. Garfield is the skinnier one (I know, he should be that big, fat, lazy) and Simba grew up looking fierce but he's not that really.

Then, came along Smokey, a pure persian, female, grey, very fierce but cute. She's Mom's most favourite. So that's when the family tree started. After about 15 years of becoming a very successful cat-breeder, I'm proud (or not?) to announce that to date, we have 21 cats under one roof. Yes. *Clap clap*. Through out the years, Mom has been the main person behind the scene. She's been taking care of all of them everyday, went back and forth to the clinic when one got sick, doctor for mommycats delivering babies ... She's been everything to the kitties. I only adore them when they're cute and when they grew bigger, I don't get too attached. Simply because I used to have one cat that I truly love and suddenly she died which really upset me and I never want to go through that same feeling again. Yes, I AM that emotional. Sue me.

We've had cats with leukimia, kidney disease, stone in the bladder, caesared for delivery, spayed, FIV, etc. Not that we're proud with any of these diseases / complications, but we truly understand how cats too can suffer from all the chronic / critical diseases like human do. 

When I first started to become conscious of my health, one of my male cats - Junior, was having difficulty to urinate. This had also happened to another cat which I used to have. Everytime it occured, Mom would take him to the vet to suck the stones from his bladder. After that, he needs to be fed with a good (expensive) food to avoid the stones from occuring again. But after a while, we couldn't afford to feed him with that good food anymore, and the stones will re-appear and need to be sucked again. It was painful. It has to be! Imagine sucking something hard and larger from your bladder passage. Ouch! 

With the simple understanding of how LingZhi can normalize our body system at that time, I boiled some Lu Chun LingZhi Tea which consists of 5% of Jia Hor LingZhi and give it to him for a few days. The first day consuming the tea, a few droplets of blood was spotted when he tried to pee. Few days later, the blood became thinner and watery. About a week after the tea consumption, he can pee freely till now. I still check his voiding habit from time to time and it seems OK now. Am very proud with his improvement. :)

Recently, I fed one of my nursing cats (yes, there are more than 1 nursing mom now) with Jia Hor Soy Protein. She likes the taste but I don't give her everyday. Maybe because I too need that Protein and can't afford (yet) to sponsor it as her daily health-food. ;P 

Other than that, I also used to feed some of my sick cats with YungKien LingZhi, YungKien Pollen and Jia Hor Nutri-Health Tablet. All the products are 100% natural so there's nothing to be worried about. It's much much better than some people who give Panadol to their sick cats. Erk. Please do not give Panadol! Even if you think it's necessary, just give 1/8 of the tablet! Not that whole large one!

The lighter and easier way is to boil a pot of Lu Chun LingZhi Tea and distribute it to all the water bowls. This way, your cats will at least have something in the body to remove the toxins from the cheap cat food available in the market which contains colouring and preservatives. 

Cats too need to be healthy, you know. ;P
