Quick update!

Tiger is still on his medication given by MrVet and I would like to thank Ma'am R for donating a box of JiaHor Nutri-Health Tablet for Tiger. At the moment, Tiger is taking 1-2 tablets per day together with 1 capsule of his medicine by MrVet. The antibiotic tablet has finished about a week ago. He's also been given Lu Chun LingZhi Tea once in a while. My observation, some of the wounds on his body are slowly recovering. Nose is still bad but the colour is getting pinkish instead of bloody red. I will update with his photo in my next post.
Another cat of mine, Chuck, infected with a drier version of a type of fungus on his forehead. Has been treating him with Scalpcare Shampoo and applied GreenZhi on the infected area everyday. The infected skin almost dried up and 80% recovered. I am still washing his forehead with Scalpcare Shampoo and applying GreenZhi after washing it off. Will see the progress in another few more weeks.
Another male cat, Neng, just got back from mating session. He's infected with ringworm according to his groomer. He's >10-year-old so a lot of things need to be taken care of. So sad that I only realize about it recently. Will start to give him on-coat treatment tomorrow. Owh, and his stones might have came back. So am feeding him with LuChun LingZhi Tea and we'll see how it goes in few days time. Hopefully he will urinate normally without having to go to the clinic to suck out the stones. Ouch!

Sporothrix schenckii

About a month ago, a cat came around to our house. Well, of course there are many cats who came to our house to eat. But this one particular cat was no stranger to us. He has been coming to our house to eat for quite a while. But 4 weeks ago, he came with his body badly wounded. I thought he got a fight with other male cat/dog. The worst part was his nose. Almost half of it was torn. Small patches all over his body, hands and feet. I did not bother to give him treatment at that time because I thought to myself, it was pretty normal for stray cats to get caught in a fight and sooner or later the wound will heal by itself. But I was wrong. Few days back, he came to our house again. This time, I saw the wounds did not get any better at all. In fact, it got worse. The bleeding has not dried yet. All the patches were bleeding. Worst part is still the nose. I decided not to wait any second and put him in a cage. After feeding him, I applied Greenzhi toothgel to the infected area, thinking that it was just normal wound. Knowing that Greenzhi could be a little painful to be applied, I tried to calm him down first. But surprisingly, he did not over react or scratch me when applying Greenzhi on his wounds. He sort of knew that I am trying to help him or maybe he just could not stand the pain anymore and just let me do whatever with him. Only God knows. The next day, it did not get any better and I asked the vet to come over and look at the cat. Let's call the cat Tiger.

The moment MrVet looked at Tiger, he immediately knew what's wrong. He said that Tiger did not get into a fight. He has been infected with a type of fungus called Sporothrix. I was kinda shocked as I was not expecting it to be fungus infection because all this while, I thought fungus infection would be dry, and not bleeding horribly. He recommended a one-month treatment for Tiger together with antibiotic. It will all be capsule & tablet, no cream can be applied. We just started giving him the medication yesterday and MrVet said if there's improvement, it can be seen after 15days. I really hope he will get better because according to MrVet, other cats and even human could get infected. It is dangerous if the infected cat scratched/bit us. So, he said that after a month, if there's no improvement, we should decide on what to do with Tiger, either to continue with the (expensive) treatment or .... :c
For the time being, I feed him medication together with Soy Protein and Lu Chun Tea. At the moment, I can't afford to give him Yung Kien LingZhi. If any of you would like to donate, please contact me on how to purchase the stocks for him. Even Nutri-Health Tablet would help. :c

Mr Vet asked me to do some research on the disease and like always, MrWiki never failed me. Here is some info :

Sporothrix schenckii is a thermally dimorphic fungus that can be found world-wide, and is the only active species of the genus Sporothrix.

The species is present in soil, and in vital and decomposing plant material such as peat moss. Colonies grow moderately rapidly at 25°C. They are moist, leathery to velvety, and have a finely wrinkled surface. The colour is white initially and becomes cream to dark brown in time (“dirty candle-wax” colour). At 37°C, colonies are yeast-like and creamy. The colour is cream to beige. The conversion of the mould form to the yeast form is identification of Sporothrix schenckii. Infections due to Sporothrix schenckii are more common at certain geographical areas. Peru is an area of hyperendemicity for Sporothrix schenckii infections.[1] Sporothrix schenckii is the causative agent of sporotrichosis or rose-handler's disease. Sporotrichosis is a subcutaneous infection and it starts following entry of the infecting fungus through the skin via a minor injury and may affect an otherwise healthy individual. Following entry, the infection may spread via the lymphatic route (nodular lymphangitis may develop). Patients infected with Sporothrix schenckii may be misdiagnosed as pyoderma gangrenosum due to the large ulcerations observed during the course of sporotrichosis.[2]

Salam Eid Mubarak

To all the Muslim readers, Salam Eid Mubarak. :)

It's been a while since I posted the last entry. Anyways, just would like to highlight that we're moving towards the end of September 09, so there will be only 2 meetings left for this month. The next one will be on the 26th of September 09 (TODAY!) at 3pm-5pm. It'll be in Bahasa Malaysia. The last meeting for September will be the Cantonese slot on the 30th September 09. So if you're free on the said dates, do come and listen to what will be shared by the speakers on those days. For newbies, not to worry, the meeting is free of charge. No registration what-so-eva. Just be present to learn and share knowledge with others. :)

We're still in festive mood and I've been receiving messages from friends and relatives saying that they are not feeling well with stomach upset, fever, headaches and such. So here, I would like to remind everyone, please watch what you are eating. Especially when we have just completed our 1-month of Ramadhan. One simple advice given by my upline was, not to leave Shuang Hor's CEO Cafe behind. It's the most economical way to ease your stomach, relieve your headache, and insya Allah, lower down the temperature of your fever. Always monitor your digestive system and drink plenty of liquid!

Most of you are afraid to take CEO Cafe because of the caffeine contents. Not to worry. Since there is YungKien Ganoderma in CEO Cafe, the excessed caffeine will be flushed out from the body about 2 hours after consumption. And some of you might not know that moderate intake of caffeine in our body could actually improve our health condition. Caffeine helps to activate our body's nerve system which could make the YungKien Ganoderma reaction to be more effective and achieve faster result.

Visit Shuang Hor's website for further details on the ingredients and functions of CEO Cafe (also available in sugar-free : suitable for diabetic patients).

Type A H1N1 Influenza

I just recovered from Type A H1N1 symptoms :

- fever
- cough
- sore throat
- body aches
- headache

Yes, the symptoms are very much similar to regular human flu's because by the name itself, Type A H1N1 Influenza is just another flu. From what we've heard in news where the number of cases increased daily, it can be said that anyone (in Malaysia, specifically) could be infected with the virus.

Many of us freaked out when this virus becomes the no. 1 cause of death these days. When the fact is, many people even died from the normal seasonal flu and some suffered badly for the rest of their life from high fever at a very young age. Truth is, any type of flu is as dangerous as Type A H1N1. So my advice is, if you're having flu symptoms - fever, cough, sore throat, etc. - do not take it lightly. Get early treatment. Do not wait for the test result to confirm whether you are a H1N1 positive or otherwise. I have a friend whose sister was diagnosed as a normal patient with regular flu and later when they checked at another medical centre, she was confirmed H1N1 positive. Imagine how many people have been infected with the virus while waiting for her status to be confirmed. And why didn't the first doctor detect the virus?

The thing is, we have to keep ourselves protected all the time. Just because the doctor says it is a 'normal flu', we should not shove it off our shoulders. So aside from putting on your face masks and avoiding crowded places, don't neglect the most powerful 'army' who can fight those merciless viruses which is your own body's immune system. Make sure it's strong enough to face all the enemies coming from any angle. How, you must say? Of course, one of the ways is to consume our special Yung Kien LingZhi which has been researched and tested to be able to strengthen our immune system and protect our liver so that we are ready to fight any disease!

Chicken Wings

Avoid eating chicken wings frequently (or at all!) - ladies especially...

As told by a friend :

A friend of mine recently had a growth in her womb and she underwent an operation to remove it. The cyst removed was filled with a dark coloured blood. She thought that she would be recovered after the surgery BUT she was terribly wrong!

A repalse occured just a few months later. Distressed, she rushed down to her gynecologist for a consultation.

During her consultation, her doctor asked her a question that puzzled her. He asked if she was a frequent consumer of chicken wings and she replied YES wondering as to how he know of her eating habit.

You see, the truth is in this modern day and age, chickens are injected with steroids to accelerate their growth so that the needs of this society can be met. This need is none other than the need for food.

Chickens that are injected with steroids are usually given the shot at the neck or the wings. Therefore, it is in these places that the highest concentration of steroid exists. These steroids have terrifying effects on the body as it accelerates growth.

It has an even more dangerous effect in the presence of female hormones, this leads to women being more prone to the growth of a cyst in the womb. Therefore, I advise the people out there to watch their diets and to lower their frequency of consuming chicken wings!

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.
