Tumor

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Yesterday one guy at my neighborhood confirm to have a heart tumor and the doc said he’s live would not last for long. Of course the doc did not said about the not live long story directly at him but at his wife. As the wife ask when the doc advice her to take her husband home and pray:-

“Since my husband disease is at critical stage, so is that any food my husband should eat?”

“Other than regular medication, you husband can eat anything he want, if 10 years ago

yes you husband should eat healthily, now is to late, just eat anything while can…..”

Some said that the doctor should not said something demotivated like that and must encourage the patient family to live healthy as usual because life and death belong to god. As we can still breath there is still a hope. Maybe the doctor is trying to be frank and the person is the 10th patient who ask him the same question.

Now that guy is on kimo and on regular dose of medication, he still not reach the age of 40. He also a non smoker. So non smoker out there better watch out as tumor also can attack a non smoker. For the record, my grand father live till the age of 75 as an heavy smoker. Asthma just don’t stop him from smoking. An average 3 box of Dunhill a day.

Panadol

Monday, November 10th, 2008



Panadol is the most famous pills in Malaysia. Almost every family has it and I has swallowed it since I was a kid. Headache, cold fever and flu are all type of disease that need to swallowed Panadol only. As time past by, we can see many brand of choice instead of Panadol. We have uphamol, hurix and panadol also have broaden their products like panadol soluble, menstrual and actifast.

So what is the Panadol all about? Does it boost our antibody and kill all those virus or bacteria? Panadol prove to be reliable since then and now for common fever and headache. Even baby also have a dose of it in a small amount after getting their first shot. For all the time, I am thinking that
panadol give your anti body more stronger when having a fever are all wrong when I read this article in the Internet.

To tell the easy story (because the article is so medical), panadol actually stimulate your brain that control a receptor that make your body temperature high. Seem like a drug effects just it don’t make you fancy like smoking pot. So it will cool your body temperature and ease your pain. The virus or what ever bacteria is still alive in your body and it is not panadol job. It is a job for antibiotics.

Your vitamin?

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

I am consuming vitamins since teenagers. But there is no brand loyalty. As I remember when I was 15, I always got flu every morning and it is very uncomfortable. At that time everyone believe that Vitamin C can cure flu and give you extra boost on antibody. Fortunately vitamin c is cheap and had an orange flavor. So I bought my first vitamin and it is vitamin C. After consuming it everyday, I don’t feel like more powerful like no other. I still sneeze every morning. To tell the truth I just don’t feel any big impact. I just continued to eat the vitamin c just because it taste like oranges. No prescription like 2 tablet a day. Just eat whenever I remember and sometime a handfuls of it. So what? Better than I do illegal drugs rite?

After some time, I feel my weight just loosing and I become more thinner than before. My chemistry teacher said that Vitamin C is Acidic, so the Acid from vitamin c I ate must eroding all my meat and fat I think. As I am following my friend to the gym, am I gaining my bone or what because there is no muscle to built. “You try to eat B-complex laa, that vitamin can get you fat you know” said many of my friends. There is also a myth that Vitamin b-complex can make you starve and eat a lot. Then I bought the b-complex from the nearby pharmacy, cheap one, no labels just clear plastic bottle. The vitamin also big and hard. After finished the bottle and not gaining any muscular body tone, I decide vitamin b-complex was no good and the taste also no good.From that on I am not consuming any healthy pills until I graduated from the university.
