Baby batuk & selesema

Was having a normal conversation with my cousin last week, on WhatsApp. She mentioned about her 9-months-old baby girl, just recovered from regular fever. Below is our conversation :

"...demam nak tumbuh gigi kot. Masa hari pertama demam lap kain je. Masa tu tak terpikir nak bagi Nutritab. Pastu gi klinik sebab dah 39°C, takut kena sawan. Tapi takdelah sampai bagi ubat punggung tu. Cuba bagi ubat klinik dalam 2ml. Sekali je bagi pastu tak bagi dah. Esoknya demam dah surut. Tinggal selsema + batuk + kahak. Baru teringat kat Nutritab. Try blend sekali dengan bubur dia. 2 hari bagi. Masa tu tak sempat nak tanya Aiya lagi, dah panik. Huhu, boleh kan bagi Nutritab kat baby?"
"Pastu dia asyik kentut² je macam sakit perut pulak. Semalam tak berak, tapi selesema macam dah kurang."

"...Nutritab boleh bagi kat baby. Kentut² tu bagus. Kalau tak kentut, baru dia kembung perut. Mungkin reaction...sebab tu dia tak berak / kentut banyak awal² makan Nutritab. Elok teruskan aje"

"Kentut busukkk sangat pulak tu. Banyak kali cek pampers dia ingatkan berak. Tak berak jugak. Haha. Nanti kang makan tengah hari blend lagi. Tapi dia makan lambat je. Tak sedap sikit, haha. Harap² lah harini dia berak, nanti kang ayah dia bising² pulak bagi bukan² tapi tak berak². Tak sabar nak tunggu dia berak ni. Huhuhu..."

"Kentut busuk sebab dia tak berak kan? So lagi kena suruh dia kentut. Kalau tak, gas busuk tu dok dalam badan. Lagipun, memang awal² orang makan lingzhi, kentut & berak busuk sangat! Sebab dalam perut , yang kotor² tu nak keluar. Bagus tau!" 

**Ada kes, cancer patient dalam ICU, lepas makan lingzhi, berak busuk sangat sampai nurses kena spray air-freshener 1 wad!**

"Kalau dari kecik dah bersih, insya Allah lebih senang nak jaga nanti. Naema dulu masa awal² makan lingzhi, dia berak macam ada black pepper. Bintik² hitam keluar. "

"Just bagi air & susu banyak"

"Ni first time try bagi Nutritab sebab tak confident nak bagi ubat klinik. Ubat tu untuk turunkan suhu je. Bukan baikkan dia. Lagipun, dia dah 5 bulan tak pernah demam. So tak standby apa² untuk dia. Last demam umur 3 bulan. Sekarang dah 9 bulan..."

"...biasalah tu demam nak tumbuh gigi. Takpe, kalau demam lagi, letak tuala basah kat kepala sentiasa bagi temperature tak panas sangat. "

"Lagipun, kalau temperature naik, maknanya badan tengah bina antibodi (senjata) nak lawan virus (musuh). So bagus tau. Tapi nak kena jaga jangan bagi panas sangat. Letak towel basah. Bagi minum air"

And so, that was the earlier conversation with her. Sorry, there were a lot mentioning about the b-word & k-word... tapi itulah hakikatnya. Nak monitor kesihatan badan, mesti check ... you know the words - kentut & berak! **Err, excuse me. Ehem** And a day after, she texted :

"Salam. Nak citer. Malam tadi kul 8 Hana berak. Bau dia ... masya Allah. Nak pengsan! Haha. Selama ni best je blend bubur dia dengan Nutritab tapi tak rasa. Tadi try, pahitnya! Patutla terkulat2 dia makan. Huhu Alhamdulillah, selesema dah kurang sikit tapi masih ada lagi. Hidung masih tersumbat lagi. Insya Allah akan bagi dia makan Nutritab sampai dah tak selesema. Amin"

"W'salam warahmatullah. Alhamdulillah... Haa kan dah cakap! Hihihi. Good². Berak hitam ke? Biar ajar die makan pahit² nanti esok² senang nak bagi lagi. ^_^"

"Tak hitam. Kuning pekat"

On 13th June 2013, she texted again :

"Salam. Aiya...hari ke-7 makan Nutritab barulah Hana berak kaler hitam. Sebelum² ni kuning macam biasa. Sehari makan sebijik Nutritab. Batuk selesema masih ada lagi, tapi makin berkurangan :)"

Alhamdulillah. The moment she mentioned about 'berak hitam' (or should I call it 'black-berry' from now on :D ), lega rasanya. Memang seronok dengar orang dapat keluarkan kotoran yang dah mula bertepek dalam badan. And I just felt like, Superman saves another day. ^_^

Baby Hana, another 'Lingzhi baby' <3

Sorry, but if you feel disgusted reading the above story, you better scrape off all the dirts in your body now. If you haven't got the 'blackberries' in that toilet bowl. Trust me, they are still in you. Ewwww!

Do you know what's happening?

It's raining outside. Alhamdulillah, today is the 6th day of Ramadhan. On the 3rd Ramadhan, one of my cats, Laddu did not return home. It is very unusual as she will be the one to greet us at the door, the one to say goodbye, the one to say hello by the window. Yes, she is loud. But on that day, she was nowhere to be seen. I realized there were drops of blood in front of the porch on the day she didn't come home. I felt something different. On the 2nd day she was missing, I knew that she's no longer around. I pray for her soul in peace and regret for not being able to play with her more. But what more to regret, we just didn't see it coming. Only frustrated that we don't know what's happened to her, and what was she bleeding of. Innalillahi wainnalillahi rajiun.

Last week, I conducted 2 separate OPPs with one of my students. She dragged along few friends and everything went well. The best part was of course, the Shiatsu! The first day, all 4 girls showed different symptoms. A had the worst one, I could say. She's been suffering from a bad period cramp for years, and it shows while I was doing Shiatsu on her. Unfortunately, I did not take photo of her after result, but I took one on the next day, when I did to one of her friends, who's suffering from menstruation cycle problem too.

The picture on the left shows her left arm. As you can see, there are many red spots showing that there are blockages caused by blood clots in her ovary. While on her right hand, there are more blue black bruises, indicating blockages caused by bad gas. This girl has not been having normal cycle of menstruation. She sometimes skipped a month or 2, and the cramp would be bad too. But for all cases, normally their digestive systems are not working properly, thus all the other systems are affected. Like I've mentioned in previous posts, constipation is the start of most diseases. So act now!

It is important for youngsters to understand what's going on in their own body. I too, was not aware of my body health condition when I was at a younger age, but realized that there's something need to be done when I've started to attend health talks and seminars weekly. After experiencing such improved result in my body, I start sharing with others how good it feels to be healthier than yesterday, and we should be thankful for having a good health by taking care each of the organs in our body. Remember, the best doctor for you is your own immune system! Take good care of it. Nourish it. Insya Allah, you'll be healthier tomorrow!

Do you know what's happening in your body right now?

Colon-ial inspection?

Di Li explained about different types of colons in our previous Monday meeting. A healthy colon is essential for getting a healthy digestive system. When our digestive system is working in the right manner, we would have a good liver, hence a good immune system, as well. As most of us have known, immune system is the best doctor of our own body. So to make sure our body can fight all kinds of viruses or diseases, we need to check whether our colon is healthy or otherwise.

The figure on the left is an example of a healthy colon. How do we know whether we're having a poor digestive system? Checking the stool's characteristics would be a simple medical checkup on our body. We have to make sure that our stool is healthy ; big, floating, long (4-8inch), yellow, and not too stinky. If the stool sinks to the bottom, it means that we are not eating enough food that are rich in fibre. Hard and clumped stool shows that it has been in the intestines for too long and produced darker colour as well. This could lead to constipation and haemorrhoids in the long run. Good bacterias in the colon help the peristalsis process and it is known that the production of good bacterias is tremendously huge during the process of giving birth (naturally). So if possible, avoid undergo caesarian while delivering your baby because you could be wasting the opportunity to improve the condition of your body system. Results have shown that 1 sachet of CEO Cafe every hour could fasten the cervical opening (for long contraction) for easier labour. This is because caffeine is very good in activating our nerves and of course CEO Cafe contains Lingzhi - need I to say more?

Prolapsed colon occur when the transverse colon is loaded and heavy (usually due to constipation). When the transverse colon falls and making a 'U' shape, it could actually be dangerous as it might be pressuring the other organs beneath it, like the bladder, fallopian tubes, uterus or prostate. When the bladder is being cramped, it is difficult to control urinating. There are cases where some people might even wet their pants because the muscle in the bladder could not hold the pressure of the colon making urinating is out of control. Dropped womb could also be the effect of Prolapsus, where ovum is blocked from going through the fallopian tubes, and conceiving is impossible.

Spasm is usually an effect after taking laxatives for a long time. Many consume laxatives in forms of herbal tea and even pills prescribed by doctor, mainly to lose weight or if they are having constipation problem. The downside of the laxatives are, it does not actually removes fat from the body, but our body waste, and this is done by force. The intestines are purged so that colons perform contraction and waste is deposited harshly. This would make muscles in colon to become weaker and weaker and this defeats the purpose of the laxatives in the first place.

Have you ever encountered a thin person with a bloated stomach before? This person might be suffering from a symptom called Ballooned Sigmoid. This is when the descending colon is loaded with accumulated faeces and stretching the bowel walls, like a balloon. Usually, during Shiatsu inspection, this person might feel pain on the intestines point on the left hand (descending colon). There was a case of a 21 years old lady with this symptom, experience bleeding in her bowels after consuming few sachets of CEO Cafe.

Stricture is another condition which usually occurs in new born babies. This is normally the case if the mother suffers from constipation. Sometimes, Fistulla even developed inside the colon. Loads of good bacterias are needed in the intestines to make sure our digestive system is working in a right manner. Did you know that the bacteria in your bowels outnumber the cells in your body by 10:1? Trillions of bacteria in our colon is very powerful for our immune system, which is the only body's natural defense system that fights diseases and keeps us healthy. Therefore, it is impossible to have a healthy body without actually having a healthy bowel! That serious!

When constipation became really bad, toxic gas starts to be produced from the accumulated faeces. This type of bad of air will be spread all over the body causing one to burp more frequently, headaches and other health issues. When the amount of trapped air increased in the colon, it will want to force itself out from the bowel walls, creating small pockets through the weaker layers. These pockets resulted from lack of fibre intakes in our diet.

We seldom find that new born babies are prone to have bloated stomach, even since born. But for extreme cases, it might due to a very stressed mother during her 3rd trimester in pregnancy. This could cause Colitis for the babies. It is important to understand that our body health is very much affected from what we eat, and how we live. Many people fail to realize that our thinking process could also contribute to healthy organs in our body.

So the next time you feel like taking in all the headaches and pressure from your job or other issues, remember about the baby you are carrying, or about to carry. One head is enough to feel the pain. Do not give it to others. Do your own inspection now! Which category do you fall into?

**Text attracted from Di Li's meeting at Shuang Hor on 21/6/2010

**Pichas taken from multiple internet sources including Innerhealth.ie

Are you healthy?

"I am healthy. I don't catch a flu. I'm not having fever. I can still go to work and exercise regularly. I eat good food and seldomly see the doctor. I am healthy"

Sure you are. That's what we always get from people's first response to, "Are you healthy?". But when we asked further questions, it determines whether he/she is truly healthy or not.

• Do you get headache often?
  
• Can you sleep easily at night before midnight?
  
• Do you feel fresh everytime you wake up in the morning?
  
• How's your day at work? Feeling lazy? Sleepy?
  
• Do you suffer from constipation?
  

If most of the answers to the above questions are YES, it means you're not 100% healthy. 

If you experience the above symptoms, it shows that toxin has started to enter your body. If toxin is not removed, it will accumulate in the body and start to affect our body systems. Accumulated toxin in our body for many years could lead to chronic diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, and the end of all diseases; cancer.

Is it normal for us to feel lazy and sleepy during the day? The answer is NO. Feeling sleepy and lazy during the day shows that our body is lack of oxygen. When toxin is accumulating in our body, we need a very high level of oxygen to get rid of the toxin. This process is called 'detoxification'. There are many ways to detoxify your body. So many products are available out there claiming that they are good for detoxificating your body. But how do we know which is the best one?

Of course, you can do a simple research to define which is the best detoxificat-or (erk?), but if you ask me, of course my answer would be LingZhi. =D Do I sound biased? Maybe. But if you do your own research on LingZhi, you will agree with me, I'm sure. :)

There are many kind of LingZhi products out there. But so far, I've never came across any other product better than Shuang Hor's LingZhi. Visit their website and find the testimonies from real consumers to understand better. The certifications achieved for Shuang Hor on its products prove that all the products (especially YungKien LingZhi) is safe for everyone and anyone to consume. (Including cats! - yes, I've tried).

Constipation? What is constipation? It is very simple to know if we're constipated. You must make sure you have a regular bowel movement, easy-not forced, and the stool must have these 5 criteria :

1 - Big

2 - Yellow to Light Brown

3 - Long

4 - Floating

5 - Not too stinky

The topic on constipation can be a very long one. I shall do more study on this and share with the rest of you some other time. For now, just make sure you have a healthy stool, OK? If your stool sinks, that means you're lack of fibre. Eat more good quality food which are high in fibre and avoid consuming too much of toxic food such as fried ones, fast food and others which contain lots of additional colouring and preservatives.

Till then, stay healthy~
