一面鏡子給大家的智慧

2012-01-11T12:06:00.003+08:00

　　徒弟抬一面镜子，边抬边说：“这镜子可真是便宜，几十元买了这么一大面!”

　　师父笑着说：“你可别小看了这镜子啊!它可以当你的老师呢。”

　　“哦？”徒弟也逗趣说，“不知这镜子老师将何以教我啊？”

　　师父问“不管什么东西，只要放到镜子前面，是不是都映得出？”

　　“当然”徒弟说。

　　“那么东西移开后，镜子里还留有余影吗？”师父问。

　　“那怎么会呢？”徒弟说。

　　“这就是智慧啊！”师父说：“这叫‘物来则应，过去不留’徒弟，你在生活中能做到‘事来则应，事过即忘’吗？”

　　“不能”徒弟说，“想不到这镜子还有点门道，还有吗？”

　　“多得是”，师父说：“比如孔孟先师或帝王将相来照镜，你说镜子会因为高兴而加倍细心吗？”

　　“不会”徒弟答。

　　师父问;“如果乞丐、弃儿来照镜，镜子会因厌恶而应付了事吗？”

　　徒弟说：“不会。”

　　“这就叫‘在圣不增，在凡不减’又叫‘与圣人居而不喜，与凡夫居而不忧’，你做得到吗？”师父问。

　　“做不到！还有吗？"徒弟兴冲冲地问。

　　师父问“当甲物体正在照镜子时，镜子会一边照甲又一边惦念乙吗？”

　　“不会”。

　　师父问“这叫‘把握当下，置心一处’。你做得到吗？”

　　“做不到！还有呢？”徒弟穷追。

　　师父问“镜子映现红色物体时，其本身会不会也变成红色？映现绿色时会不会本身也变成绿色？”

　　徒弟说“不会。”

　　师父问“镜子本身虽不变色，却仍能红来现红，绿来现绿，是不是？”

　　“是，这叫什么？”徒弟问。

　　“这叫‘随缘不变，不变随缘’。你做得到吗？”师父问。

　　“做不到，还有吗？”徒弟还不解渴。

　　师父问“镜子映人映物、映水、映火、而本身玻璃的本质却始终不变，这叫做‘体不动，而用常显。用常显而体不变’你明白吗？”

　　“明白了”，徒弟感叹地说，“想不到一面小小的镜子，竟蕴含了这么多道理！真是物物皆可为师啊！！

What's wrong with eating too full?

2011-12-20T08:23:00.003+08:00

Don't overeat and don't encourage your family members and friends to overeat - unless you wish to shorten their healthy living and perhaps die younger!

An interesting article about eating too full....

In Today's Dr Lee Newsletter Issue:

"What's wrong with eating too full?"

"The more you eat, the sooner you die. The lesser you eat, the longer you live." This is what Dr Lee always says in his health talk. He also mentions, "Eating too full causes all sort of health problems such as hypertension, diabetes, stroke, etc."

Why eating too full is so harmful to your health? What can you do about it?

=============
Mice experiment
=============

To see how eating habit affects life span, a professor from University of Texas did an experiment on mice.

For the first group of 100 mice, he let them eat without any restriction, just like a buffet meal.

The second group was fed only 60% full. And the third group was given food without restriction too. But this time, he reduced protein content to half. After 2.5 years, guess how many mice were still alive out of 100?

* First group (eat without restriction) - only 13 mice was alive. Opsss...

* Second group (eat 60% full) - 97 mice was still alive. Only 3 mice died.

* Third group (eat without restriction with protein cut half) - 50 mice still alive.

What can we learn from these results?

Firstly, eating too full is really harmful to your body. Secondly, eat 60% full if you want to live longer and healthier. Thirdly, taking too much protein is harmful to your body too. We don't need so much protein after all.

==========================
Overworking body
==========================

Imagine having a small family car. Instead of using it for short travel between home and office, you use it for long distance travel between different cities every day. Instead of using it 1 hour a day, you use it for 10 hours a day. Instead of driving at 70 km/h, you always speed up to 170 km/h, hitting engine's red line.

Can you estimate your car life span? Do you expect having various problems with your car after a short time? Driving your car at high speed for a long time is like always eating too full. You force your body to always work at its red line.

Do you know digestion is the most demanding work for your body? Think about the organs involved such as your mouth, stomach, liver, pancreas, duodenum and intestine. Think about the length of digestive tract from your mouth to intestine.
By eating too full, your body zaps up much of your energy for digestion. Otherwise, this energy may be used for other purpose such as enhancing your immune system.

Do you realize you become very tired easily after a big meal? That is the sign of your body working hard to digest all the food you take in.

If you eat an extra bowl of noodle, your pancreas has to produce extra insulin hormone to process the extra carbohydrates you take.

Your liver, stomach and intestine also have to produce extra enzymes to digest and process specific nutrients from that bowl of noodle.

Therefore the more you eat, the harder your body has to work to process it. Of course, we must eat to survive. But we don't have to eat that much!

If you drive your car slowly and handle it gently, you can use it for a long time. But if you always floor the accelerator and drive like a rally driver, you know the consequence on your car life span.

============================
Side effect of eating
============================

Your car engine burns fuel to move your car and bring you to anywhere you like to go. As a result, the engine produces exhaust smoke which is toxic. It must be dispersed out from your car.

Similarly, your body cell burns nutrient for energy to survive. In the process, it produces free radicals. Since free radical is toxic to your body, it has to be neutralized and expelled.

"Just metabolizing food especially fatty and carbohydrate-rich fare causes the body to produce free radicals, which attack cells and can promote the development of chronic conditions including heart disease, diabetes and cancer," says Ronald L. Prior, Ph.D.

Of course, your body can control free radicals in small quantity. But the more you eat the more free radicals your body produces. Without adequate control, these free radicals easily attack your body cells and eventually cause all sort of diseases.

=========================
Good eating habit
=========================

After knowing the harmful effect of eating too full, what's your choice? Do you want to live longer, just like the second group mice in the experiment? Or do you want to risk ending your life earlier, just like the first group mice? If you wish to live longer, here are some tips you can follow:

1. Always eat until 70% full. Do not exceed 80% full. You may want to stop eating when you feel slightly full.

2. Avoid having buffet style meal which makes it harder to control how much you eat. Instead, prepare the food you want to eat in a plate. After finishing it, don't add anymore food.

3. Leaving the dining table earlier may prevent you from picking some extra food to eat.

4. It is always a good idea to prepare lesser food in the first place. Some people are afraid of having not enough food for everyone. Actually, lesser food is beneficial for everyone..
In a restaurant, order in small amount first. You can always add in some extra order if necessary. But if you can get by with the original smaller order, that's great.

Remember this: You have higher chance of overeating if you serve more food on the table.

You have better chance of not overeating if you serve less food.

5. Avoid stuffing your fridge with ice cream, chocolate or other dessert. You cannot eat what you do not have.

6. When someone prepares a big plate of food for you, look at it first. Ask yourself, "Do I want to stuff it all into my stomach?"

If your answer is no, just put aside some food to another empty plate first. After finishing your food, look back at the extra food on that new plate. Say to yourself, "Phew! Luckily I didn't stuff that portion into my stomach."

7. When you get too hungry before your meal time, just take some fruit instead of heavy meal.

The tendency to overeat is very high for people these days who want value for their money at buffet tables.

Eat less and stay healthy. So remember to eat only 70% full if you want to stay healthy.

Lead a Healthy life... it's your first asset to enjoy all other assets!

有的人练功后身上发痒，为什么不让搔？（赵金香宗师)

2011-12-11T20:15:00.003+08:00

练功较好的同志，很快产生全身发痒，这是气机循行的好现象，气行阳分的就发痒，行阴分的就发麻，这都是练功的正常现象，不必理它。如果抓，气机受到外来突然刺激会自动退回去，形成迂回缠行的现象，但是不会有害，不过热感会减低，真气运行前进会减慢。不抓搔了，一会儿就会恢复，但是最好不去抓搔它。在真气启动循行往返的过程中，应当让它按自己的自然规律运行，不要受到任何干扰。

養生變往生？竹炭食品長期食用容易造成「塵肺」！

2011-11-30T21:30:00.004+08:00

養生變成往生!! 竹炭食品請不要吃？

竹炭食品（竹碳麵包、竹碳蛋糕）會得「塵肺」！竹子非常難消化，古時候要毒害人，就將竹子磨成粉，摻入食物內給仇家吃，不出幾年，此位仇家就吐血而亡（腸胃潰瘍），所以竹雕藝品通常都可以傳世好幾百年而不壞。

近年來，有不少台灣商人，將日本當紅的竹炭烘焙技術引進台灣，有民眾煮飯、燒水時放入竹炭，也有人把竹炭添加在蛋糕、餅乾、霜淇淋等各式食物標榜「體內環保」，能排毒。

專家表示：吃竹炭是很離譜的行為，把竹炭吃進肚裡，很難排出體外，長期食用容易造成「塵肺」！消費者不要輕易嚐試。

竹炭是採用竹子為原料，經過1000℃ 高溫的特殊爐窖工藝，精心煉製而成，含有豐富的鹼性礦物質，如鈣、鐵、鉀等，竹炭的多孔特性，可吸附來自水中的氯等有害物質及其它異味，吸附能力極強。

台灣近年來非常流行吃竹炭，進行「體內環保」，在香港也已形成一種新潮流，在中國，主要的竹炭產品都是外用的，都是用來裝飾家居、淨化空氣，沒有人知道它可以食用！？中國一位經銷商表示：供應商提供這種可以食用的竹炭產品，主要是椰殼炭製成的，但因為對內地市場沒有把握，不知道大家會對這種能吃的竹炭產品是什麼反應？所以他一直沒敢進貨。

不僅竹炭經銷商對此沒有把握，在消化專家看來，吃竹炭也是一個很離譜的行為。專家認為：食用竹炭排毒有點誇大其詞，所謂的可食用竹炭食品中，含有非常細微的竹炭顆粒，即使是真的能吸收毒素，也極易導致體內水電平衡紊亂。更重要的是，食用竹炭產品後，細微顆粒很可能吸入肺中並吸附在肺葉上，而且它吸附性極強，吃下去後很難排出體外，易形成「塵肺」！

專家說：即使是醫療級活性炭，現在也很少使用，雖然其物理吸附能力較強，但是相對於其他排毒、解毒方法而言，效果還是較差，最主要的是，因為竹炭顆粒很難排出體外。在目前還沒有完整的科學研究理論的前提下，對於如此前衛的保健新潮，專家建議大家不要輕易嘗試。

另外；竹炭在燒製過程，如果溫度沒控制好，會產生焦油，這種焦油是致癌物！！
希望大家能將這信廣為流傳!免得為了養生變成往生。

KingNet藥物諮詢特別門診藥師回答
義守大學義大醫院中藥科吳宗修藥師

成大環境醫學研究所副教授郭浩然指出，引致塵肺症的粉塵是經由呼吸道進入肺部，竹炭產品由消化道進入人體，途徑不同。

郭浩然表示，絕大多數的塵肺症是職業病，有多種粉塵可能引致；但一般人生活環境中的粉塵量幾乎不會長期達到引發塵肺症的濃度。

澎湖醫院院長吳清平指出，所謂的塵肺症中，較常見的是矽肺症、煤礦工人塵肺症，以及石棉肺症等。

他指出，因為矽十分不安定，會引發肺部免疫反應、發炎反應，長期會導致肺部纖維化。碳則非常安定，但由於開採礦石時，除了煤礦多半還有其他的矽塵等粉塵，與碳共同沉積在肺部，便形成煤礦工人塵肺症。

吳清平認為，與其擔心竹炭商品，沙塵暴危害可能還大一些。郭浩然也說：「有些中毒患者，醫師們還會給患者食用活性碳來解毒。」

對於竹炭食品的排毒說法，林口長庚醫院臨床毒物科主任林杰樑強調：「此碳非彼碳，差得遠了！」林杰樑說，在中毒患者身上使用的是醫療級活性碳，這種產品得經過高溫、高壓製造，一公克產品面積幾乎有一個足球場那麼大，所以可以用來急救，減少患者吸收毒物。不過，林杰樑也強調，這僅止在毒物量很多的時候。

吃竹炭會不會得「塵肺」需要相關單位再深入研究，但若業者宣稱竹炭可以排毒，絕對會被處以最高100萬元罰鍰。衛生署指出，依照食品衛生法規定，竹炭是種天然色素，雖然可添加於食品內，但不應強調任何醫療或保健效果，...竹炭只能定位在著色劑，是一種天然的黑色素，並不能誇大它的功能與療效宣傳。對竹炭的誇大功效，許多營養師也持懷疑態度。營養師李青蓉認為，竹炭有吸附的功能，吃多可能會影響消化不良或吸收的功能。

竹炭除了用吃的，就連用穿的，也是頗多爭議，其中某業者的全竹炭塑身衣就因廣告不實被罰400萬元，公平交易委員會表示其廣告...，明知無相關醫學學理或臨床實驗依據以資佐證，仍於廣告逕予宣稱「消臭率90~95%」、「遠紅外線加速脂肪代謝平坦小腹」、「改善脊椎側彎」、「增加我們的腸推率……可以將我們體內的一些毒素啦、宿便、還有脂肪排出體外」、「遠紅外線增加體內微循環、保護子宮」、「促使我們胸部的乳腺管暢通」、「負離子……可以有效的分解我們幾乎壞死的角質……讓肌膚改善變好」及消費者薦證片段等語，均屬虛偽不實及引人錯誤之表示，核已違反公平交易法第21條第1項之規定，洵堪認定。

夜间醒来自我按摩好不好?（赵金香宗师)

2011-11-15T20:49:00.002+08:00

夜间醒来自我按摩是阳举得一种现象，也是自控能力差的一种表现，应该加以控制。它是练功不能引气归元的结果。练功后收功做“双回气”时，一定要严格按规定的标准姿势，意念做一至三次，松肩，提肛，等气归元后再走，如醒来有阳举现象，可用意念引丹田气经会阴沿督脉上升到脑，就不会出现睡中自我按摩了。

Vigorous Exercise Increases Risk of Heart Disease

2011-11-05T08:45:00.001+08:00

—Dr. Mark Wiley

In my search for the best in holistic medicine I have traveled the globe and spent time with healers of all types: shamans, psychic surgeons, qigong masters, faith healers, herbalists, bone setters… you name it.

While studying a method of qigong known as zhan zhuang (pile standing) in Asia, my teacher told me something very strange. He said: “This qigong exercises forces you to stand still and not move for a long time. Because of this, your energy will increase, your body will warm, and your muscles will strengthen. But you will not damage your joints from excessive movement, nor tax your heart through robust movement, nor damage the lungs through too rapid respiration.”

I have to say that I had trouble swallowing this last part and for the past 15 years I have been trying to reason out in my mind: why not increase heart rate and respiration? After all, isn’t the entire fitness industry in the Western world based on elevating heart rate, increasing lung capacity and burning calories from sweating and muscle strength development? Well, like with so many other things, it looks like the ancient Chinese knew what they were talking about.

Recent research coming out of New York University Medical Center suggests that the more often one engages in vigorous exercise the greater their risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF). AF is a condition characterized by irregular, rapid heart rate, which affects people in many ways from simple fainting to heart failure and stroke.

But isn’t this always the way? First something is bad for you, then good for you, then bad for you again. Don’t raise the heart rate doing vigorous exercise, said the ancient Daoist masters. Train hard and break a sweat and elevate the heart, said the masters of sport science. Sweating and elevated heart rate lead to heart disease, now say the academics—but with more tangible and less metaphoric examples for the whys of it.

Odd thing is; there are always two sides to every coin. It’s not always so easy as good vs. bad, but the degree of good vs. bad on a continuum depending on who you are and where your health condition is. For relatively healthy people with no serious biological health issues, exercise has been proven time and again to balance the body and stave off potentially life-threatening diseases, like obesity and diabetes. However, if on the other hand you do have unrecognized heart disease, then exercise may cause you to die from sudden heart attack. And the leading cause of exercise-related death among high-level athletes is coronary heart disease!

Before you decide that you do or don’t have heart disease, there’s more to the study that is important for you to know. In the study there were exercise and non-exercise groups. Men who exercised long or hard enough to break a sweat five to seven days per week actually increased their chances of developing AF by an enormous 20 percent! And the non-exercise control group? No increase in their propensity for AF.

The big surprise is this: the participants who were in the “break a sweat” group were deemed to be “healthy,” and made up of men under the age of 50 who run on a regular basis. Common sense would say the opposite results should be the case. But no, the study clearly shows that the incidence of atrial fibrillation in men who jog increased by a massive 50 percent! And it was up by 74 percent in young men who break a sweat on a regular basis!

By now you may be worried about your own condition. However, it seems that AF is common and even expected in so-called healthy athletes. This is the case because cardiomegaly (enlargement of the heart) is so common in athletes that doctors don’t even tell athletes they have a condition that can lead to heart disease. Yes, in normal, non-athletic people, if their electrocardiograms showed these same signs the docs would be very concerned and let them know.

The long and short is this: the essence of the study indicates that breaking a sweat on a regular basis is bad for your heart. And history shows that marathoners and other top athletes die at a young age as a result of heart disease. And in China, where tai chi and qigong are practiced by millions, the rate of heart disease and young heart-related deaths is among the world’s lowest.

No wonder slow-burn exercises like walking, yoga, tai chi and qigong are considered as the safest and most effective exercises around the world. And the world is a whole lot bigger than the “experts” in the United States that get all the press.

为什么有的人练功前胃酸不足，练功后增多?（赵金香宗师)

2011-10-22T22:07:00.002+08:00

阴阳气机的运行，五行的相生相克，关键就怕出现偏胜偏衰的现象。《内经》中有所谓有余与不足，太过与不及是最难获得阴阳平衡，这好比天平称重量一样，稍多或稍少一点，就产生偏高或偏低的现象，这是讲的阴阳五行生克关系。巷气功要掌握“火候”，不能不练，也不能练个不停，要适当掌握，留有余兴。胃酸不足与太过，是气机运行不合适的表现，也就是气机能升不能降的缘故。这又与练津不能成精，练精不能化气有关系。应当将似笑非笑练出口水来，分三口回下，用意念送到下丹田聚津成精，这样就会减少胃酸过多的现象了。

"THE AMAZING GINGER" - Did you know the benefits of Ginger?

2011-10-19T21:29:00.001+08:00

By: Kevin Banks

Ginger is one of the world's seven most potent disease-fighting spices.

Ginger has been used for its health benefits for over 5000 years and is a favourite medicinal as well as culinary herb.

Unlike most spices, the part that has the most medicinal value grows under ground. Often mistakenly called “ginger root” this is actually the rhizome of the plant which is more of a subterranean stem than a root. Although you can use dried ginger and powdered ginger for health benefits, fresh ginger is preferred.

The intake of ginger helps stimulate the secretion of mucus, quieting your cough and soothing any scratchiness in your throat. Ginger has been proven (in multiple studies) to treat feelings of nausea, particularly in the form of seasickness, morning sickness, motion sickness and as a side effect of chemotherapy. In pregnancy is to be extra careful!! Never use any herb, including ginger, without first discussing it with your doctor!! As for those suffering from ulcer, or other very serious gastric problems, they should also consult their doctor.

Ginger contains anti viral, anti toxic, and anti fungal properties, and is used for the prevention of and treatment against the common cold.

Ginger acts as an antihistamine and aids in the treatment of allergies. Ginger displays anti inflammatory properties and can be used to treat rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and various other muscular disorders. The chemical components of the root are instrumental in inhibiting the biosynthesis of prostaglandins which are responsible for causing inflammation.

Thus the root has proven to be a highly effective form of treatment, in some cases, even more so than the NSAID's that are traditionally prescribed. So eating ginger may help to prevent cancer and aging disorders. Ginger contains special enzymes responsible for catalyzing the proteins in your food, thus aiding in digestion and the prevention of cramps.

Good for those with constipation! The ancient Greeks used to eat ginger after a large meal, in order to ease the digestion process. Ginger has proven to help lower your cholesterol levels and prevent the formation of blood clots. As a mood enhancer, ginger's cineole content may help contribute to stress relief.

Also used for migraine headache. Ginger can also be used for reducing toothache and the discomfort which arises due to the infection in the upper respiratory tract due to its antibacterial and antifungal nature. Chewing on fresh ginger,,can help freshen the breath. Being a warming herb, ginger can help knock out a fever. This property also makes it effective in stimulating circulation of the blood. It can also help relax muscles around the blood vessels and is said to help prevent blood clots from forming. The warming effects make it a natural decongestant as well as an antihistamine, making it the perfect remedy for colds.

Some studies show that it can even help inhibit the replication of the herpes simplex virus.

Recent studies show that ginger might also have a role in lowering LDL cholesterol because the spice can help reduce the amount of cholesterol that is absorbed.

It has also been shown in animal trials to help slow or even prevent cancerous tumor growth.

To discover the health benefits of ginger for yourself, simply make a tea by steeping about 5 slices of ginger in hot water. If you prefer it in your food, Ginger is excellent in many dishes and is perfect when combined with garlic.

Ginger doesn't only spice up your food it can also help to put some extra spice in your intimate life too. It improves blood flow to your sexual organs, and contains Vitamin C, zinc and magnesium.

Hope it will be of benefits to you & others.

Wishing you all a happy healthy life.

有的人练功后手上带电，好不好?

Acid/Alkaline Theory of Disease Is NonsenseGabe Mirkin, M.D.

2011-10-07T07:56:00.002+08:00

Have you seen advertisements for products such as coral calcium or alkaline water that are supposed to neutralize acid in your bloodstream? Taking calcium or drinking alkaline water does not affect blood acidity. Anyone who tells you that certain foods or supplements make your stomach or blood acidic does not understand nutrition.

You should not believe that it matters whether foods are acidic or alkaline, because no foods change the acidity of anything in your body except your urine. Your stomach is so acidic that no food can change its acidity. Citrus fruits, vinegar, and vitamins such as ascorbic acid or folic acid do not change the acidity of your stomach or your bloodstream. An entire bottle of calcium pills or antacids would not change the acidity of your stomach for more than a few minutes.

All foods that leave your stomach are acidic. Then they enter your intestines where secretions from your pancreas neutralize the stomach acids. So no matter what you eat, the food in stomach is acidic and the food in the intestines is alkaline.

Dietary modification cannot change the acidity of any part of your body except your urine. Your bloodstream and organs control acidity in a very narrow range. Anything that changed acidity in your body would make you very sick and could even kill you. Promoters of these products claim that cancer cells cannot live in an alkaline environment and that is true, but neither can any of the other cells in your body.

All chemical reactions in your body are started by chemicals called enzymes. For example, if you convert chemical A to chemical B and release energy, enzymes must start these reactions. All enzymes function in a very narrow range of acidity. (The degree of acidity or alkalinity is expressed as "pH."). If your blood changes its acidity or alkalinity for any reason, it is quickly changed back to the normal pH or these enzymes would not function and the necessary chemical reactions would not proceed in your body.

For example, when you hold your breath, carbon dioxide accumulates in your bloodstream very rapidly and your blood turns acidic, and you will become uncomfortable or even pass out. This forces you to start breathing again immediately, and the pH returns to normal. If your kidneys are damaged and cannot regulate the acidity of your bloodstream, chemical reactions stop, poisons accumulate in your bloodstream, and you can die.

Certain foods can leave end-products called ash that can make your urine acid or alkaline, but urine is the only body fluid that can have its acidity changed by food or supplements. ALKALINE-ASH FOODS include fresh fruit and raw vegetables. ACID-ASH FOODS include ALL ANIMAL PRODUCTS, whole grains, beans and other seeds. These foods can change the acidity of your urine, but that's irrelevant since your urine is contained in your bladder and does not affect the pH of any other part of your body.

When you take in more protein than your body needs, your body cannot store it, so the excess amino acids are converted to organic acids that would acidify your blood. But your blood never becomes acidic because as soon as the proteins are converted to organic acids, calcium leaves your bones to neutralize the acid and prevent any change in pH. Because of this, many scientists think that taking in too much protein may weaken bones to cause osteoporosis.

Cranberries have been shown to help prevent recurrent urinary tract infections, but not because of their acidity. They contain chemicals that prevent bacteria from sticking to urinary tract cells.

Taking calcium supplements or drinking alkaline water will not change the pH of your blood. If you hear someone say that your body is too acidic and you should use their product to make it more alkaline, you would be wise not to believe anything else the person tells you.

为什么有的人常有肌肉跳动感?（赵金香宗师)

2011-10-04T10:39:00.003+08:00

久病阴虚之人，肌肉常常会跳动。

《内经》所说：“筋惕肉胭”是因为阴虚阳无所归之理，也即是真气不能归元的意思。阴虚气不归元，游行于外，所以，阴血太虚的人，全身都会跳动，哪个部位跳动得多，是由患者的阴虚程度不同情况决定的，显示在手足十二经和奇经八脉的经络上，亦有轻重多少的区别。如腰部特多，显然是带脉上的病。对于肌肉跳动，可采用“双回气”导引或按摩的方法治疗，也可配合药物治疗，方能彻底解决。

Eat raw ginger to ease the pain of aching muscles

2011-10-01T08:51:00.002+08:00

Ginger could help muscle pain caused by exercise.

A new study shows taking a small amount of the spice every day reduces the strain on muscles after a workout.

Ginger has long been used as a remedy for nausea, but recent research has suggested it has other powerful properties.

One lab study showed powdered ginger could kill ovarian cancer cells.

In the latest experiments, American scientists gave participants 2g of raw ginger, or a similar amount of heat-treated ginger as some evidence shows heat treatment boosts the spice's potency for 11 days.

A third group was given a placebo. They were then put through a series of testing arm exercises.

The results, published in the Journal of Pain, showed that 24 hours after exercise, pain levels in the raw ginger-eating group were 25 per cent lower than those on the placebo.

And in the heat-treated group, pain levels were 23 per cent lower. Researchers say this supports anecdotal evidence that ginger has a pain-killing effect.

B.Vol.87 pp.221-226》上發1表論文,指出燕窩（Collocalia）含有表皮生長因子（Epidermal Growth Factor, EGF）,EGF是一個蛋白質，能刺激細胞增生，燕窩來自燕子的口涎，可能就是因為口涎中有EGF，所以一般動物在受傷後，懂得舐自己的傷口，相信是想利用口涎中的EGF，刺激受傷部分，幫助傷口快些復元。燕窩EGF令細胞增生是好事還是壞事？細胞增生是好事還是壞事？對癌症患者而言，是壞事。皮膚上有傷口，要它「埋口」，當然需要細胞增生，但不可不知，Genentech藥廠生產了一個對付「EGF接受體」的藥，叫Tarceva（學名Erlotinib），它的主要作用，是去阻止EGF令細胞增生，什么細胞？是癌細胞。目前用來治療乳癌的Herceptin，也是一個用來對付EGF接受體的抗體。有一位女仕她患有乙型肝炎，甲胎蛋白一直被控制在五百度之下，有一次，她吃了燕窩後，甲胎蛋白急升到七千度；之後，在肝掃瞄中，可見到四粒東西，一星期內暴長到四毫米，因此，在癌症患者而言,，要戒吃燕窩，這好比患有乳癌者，一定要戒吃雪蛤膏，因為其中的雌激素，可令其癌細胞增生。其實，EGF對癌症病人還有别的害處，除了會刺激癌細胞增生，它更厲害的致癌作用，是在於促進三大類! 可以增生血管的因子，分別是血管內皮細胞生長因子（VEGF）、皂性成纖維細胞生長因子（bFGF）和轉化生長因子（TGF）。癌細胞要靠血管把養分送過來，才能「快高長大」，但往往沒有血管，這好像是乾涸的田，長不出東西，如果有人從附近的河造一條引水道，那就得其所哉了。在剛出版的《Annual Review Medicine》Vol.57，鼎鼎大名的哈佛教授Judah Folkman綜合了他三十多年在血管增生方面的研究，點出了一個對抗癌十分重要的概念。這便是，當癌塊還未出現血管時，它們一般都不會致命，因為，即使癌細胞不斷增生，但由於沒有血管提供營養，這些癌都長不大。其實，除了抗癌時要抑制血管增生，在長者中很普遍的黃斑衰退症（Macular Degeneration），病因也是源自視網膜上出現了新的血管，患者因而亦須特別留意，要少吃燕窩，以防刺激自己身體，貿貿然製造多餘的血管。

以下一篇科研報道，燕窩的護膚養顏療效雖獲肯定，但令人震驚的是：婦科疾病患者或更年期以後女性應盡量少吃燕窩，否則或會誘發或加重癌病！

護膚養顏首選燕窩? 更年期以後女性忌食！

燕窩之所以令皮膚「滑滑」，並非因為骨膠原或蛋白質，而是刺激皮膚更新的「表皮生長因子」。

城市大學的研究發現，市面上的乾燕全部含表皮生長因子，部份即食燕窩則完全欠奉，即食用後沒有達到護膚效果；有學者及中醫師警告，燕窩並非老嫩皆宜，更年期以後的婦女應避免進食燕窩，否則可能誘發及加速癌細胞生長。人到中年便開始越老就越少EGF，但更年期以後的女性患癌風險較高，應避免攝取EGF，以免刺激癌細胞增生。
中醫師指出，燕窩養陰益肺，可治濕疹及慢性氣管炎，中藥價值極高，「肺主皮毛，肺氣好，皮膚自然靚。

雪耳都有相同作用，但是療效當然比燕窩差很多。」不過，他建議婦科病患者或更年期以後女性應盡量少吃，否則會「過份養陰」，誘發或加重癌病。

Is bird's nest suitable for you?

Chinese University of Hong Kong, Professor Jiang Runxiang in the "Comp .. Biochem. Physiol. B.Vol.87 pp.221-226" made a statement on the paper, pointed out that the bird's nest (Collocalia) contain epidermal growth factor (Epidermal Growth Factor, EGF), EGF is a protein, can stimulate cell proliferation, swallow the saliva from a bird's nest, probably because the saliva in EGF, so most animals after injury, know how to lick their wounds, that is to use saliva of EGF, stimulate the injured part to help the wound faster recovery. Bird's nest that cell proliferation EGF is a good thing or a bad thing?

Cell proliferation is a good thing or a bad thing? Of cancer patients, it is a bad thing. Skin wound to it "buried mouth", of course, require cell proliferation, but not know, Genentech, a pharmaceutical product against "EGF receptor," the drug, called Tarceva (Erlotinib scientific name ), its main role is to prevent the proliferation of skin cells and EGF, even? cells? Is the cancer cells. Currently used to treat breast cancer, Herceptin, is one to deal with EGF receptor antibodies. A Women she suffers from hepatitis B, alpha-fetoprotein Baidu has been under control in five, and once, after she ate a bird's nest, AFP surged to seven thousand degrees; later, in the liver scan in can see the four things a week to four millimeters long storm, so in cancer patients, in order to quit eating bird's nest, which is like suffering from breast cancer, we must quit eating Xueha cream, because estrogen can result in The cancer cell proliferation. In fact, EGF also e on the harmful effects of cancer patients, in addition to stimulate cancer cell proliferation, it is more powerful carcinogenic effect is that for three categories! Could proliferation of vascular factors, namely vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), Soap fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor (TGF). Cancer cells rely on blood vessels to get nutrients back to "quickly and grow up", but often there is no blood vessels, it seems to dry land, not a long thing, if someone made the river from a nearby water conduit, then Deqisuozai out.

In the newly published "Annual Review Medicine" Vol.57, the famous Professor Judah Folkman of Harvard consolidated his thirty years of research on angiogenesis, an anti-cancer points out the very important concept. That is, when the blood vessels Aikuai yet to come, they are generally not fatal, because, even if the continued proliferation of cancer cells, but the absence of blood vessels that provide nutrition, all of these cancers grow up. In fact, when in addition to inhibiting angiogenesis cancer in the elderly are common symptoms of macular recession (Macular Degeneration), is derived from the retina causes the emergence of new blood vessels, and therefore patients should pay attention to, to eat bird's nest, to Anti stimulate your body, hastily create extra blood vessels.

Following a research report, although the efficacy of skin care beauty nests be sure, but shocking is: gynecological diseases of women after menopause should be minimal or eat bird's nest, or may induce or aggravate cancer!

Preferred skin care beauty bird's nest? Menopausal women not eat later!

The reason why skin bird's nest "slippery", not because the collagen or protein, but rather to stimulate skin renewal of the "epidermal growth factor."

City University study found that dry swallow all of the market with epidermal growth factor, part of the instant bird's nest is completely lacking, that is not reached after eating skin effect; some scholars and practitioners warned that bird's nest is not Laonen Safe, after menopause Women should avoid eating bird's nest, or it may induce and accelerate cancer cell growth. And middle-aged and old, the less the more they began to EGF, but after menopause women at higher risk of cancer, should avoid intake of EGF, to avoid stimulating cancer cell proliferation.

Practitioners pointed out that the bird's nest Yin Yifei, treating eczema and chronic bronchitis, high value of Chinese medicine, "lung skin and hair, good lung, skin naturally pretty.

Fungus has the same effect, but the efficacy of course, much worse than the bird's nest. "However, he suggested that patients with gynecological or women after menopause should be minimal to eat, otherwise they will" over-Yin ", induce or aggravate cancer.

High Blood Pressure & Kidney Disease

2011-09-21T20:27:00.002+08:00

by Ruth St. James

Overview

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), almost 30% of adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure (hypertension). The CDC also states that, in the United States alone, over three million adults have some form of kidney disease as well.

High Blood Pressure

High blood pressure is the result of too many fluids in the body, which increases the force on the vessel and arterial walls. Symptoms can be vague and include headache, dizziness and blurred vision.

Kidney Disease

Kidneys help process liquid waste and excess water from your body. Chronic kidney disease is when one or both kidneys have suffered a slow and gradual deterioration over time. Symptoms can include fatigue and weakness, frequent urination and headaches.

Contributing Factors

High blood pressure can directly contribute to the onset of kidney disease. Because there is too much fluid in the body, the kidneys have to work harder, which puts a strain on them. If the kidneys don't function correctly, the toxic buildup in your blood can make you very sick.

Treatments

Both conditions can be controlled by reducing the amount of salt in your diet, staying away from caffeine and limiting the amount of soda that you drink. For kidney health, also limit the amount of protein and potassium in your diet.

Long Term Effects

If blood pressure is not controlled, it can cause stroke, heart attack and death. If kidney disease is not managed, it can result in end stage renal failure, and dialysis becomes critical. Dialysis is filtering your blood through a machine because your body no longer can.

Relax

Meditation and self calming exercises like measured breathing have been proven to help lower blood pressure, which in turn can help your kidneys out. Breathe deep.

有入练功后出现腹泻是什么原因?(赵金香宗师)

2011-09-17T07:20:00.002+08:00

一般人腹泻是由于脾胃消化功能差，或受寒和吃了不干净的食物造成的。应当及时到医院就诊。但也有人是练功产生的气化反应，练功深化可促使人体脏腑功能改善，将以往消化功能差，长期积滞在肠胃中的秽物排出体外，这是改善消化功能的好现象，这种腹泻，多为水泻，次数虽多，但人精神不减，用不着吃药，可继续练功，一般一周左右即可恢复，所以它不同于一般肠胃疾病。

多觸摸檢查每個家人的左後上背-心俞穴

2011-09-14T12:10:00.002+08:00

廖風德先生登山暈倒事件，暴露了我們每一位家屬的無知與無助，心血管疾病應是主要問題！

小弟看報載廖風德的相片，推定他的脖子應是經常僵硬不舒服的，因為他的臉頰不像我們一般人柔軟，臉頰靠耳的脖子也比一般人略粗，這是心血管疾病的高危險群。

之前的藝人馬兆駿就是最顯明的例子，他也是急性休克致命！

為了家人及自己的健康小弟在此提供一個最好又有效的救命方式：
平日多觸摸檢查每個家人的左後上背，左後上背肩胛骨轉彎處右方約1-2吋的心俞穴是心臟出現異常主治穴！

如心俞穴凸出者按壓會疼痛或癢(每個人的感受不一樣)，小弟治過幾位客人都因感冒致呼吸不順暢(糖尿病患者更要心俞與肝俞並治)，經過我幫他們解開此穴位阻塞，人就舒服了。

平日多按摩此穴就不會有心臟異常的問題，如果有人呼吸不上來，或將近休克時，用靠手腕的手掌在此心俞穴微微用力壓揉(順時針方向)，不舒服者會即時恢復正常的呼吸，此時也務必給他一杯溫水，幫助血液循環。

此心俞穴因沒有前面胸骨的阻擋，按壓時就是心臟的後方穴位，所以恢復得快速！從背後治療或急救絕對比前面還快！且急救前胸骨有壓斷的危險性。

有心血管問題者、抽煙者，更要多加注意，此穴會比一般人凸出與不舒服！有爬山的山友敬請務必學會此救命的方法！

為了健康請各位看到此文章者，不要吝惜推薦此文章！

Learn Sarver Heart Center's Continuous Chest Compression CPR

2011-09-11T07:49:00.002+08:00

Every three days, more Americans die from sudden cardiac arrest than the number who died in the 9-11 attacks. You can lessen this recurring loss by learning Continuous Chest Compression CPR, a hands-only CPR method that doubles a person’s chance of surviving cardiac arrest. It’s easy and does not require mouth-to-mouth contact, making it more likely bystanders will try to help, and it was developed here at the University of Arizona College of Medicine. “This video is worth sharing,” said Gordon A. Ewy, MD, director of the UA Sarver Heart Center and one of the research pioneers who developed this method.

Sarver Heart Center’s newest video was developed to make it easy for people to learn Continuous Chest Compression CPR. Dr. Ewy is hoping the video, which is posted on YouTube, goes “viral” and gives more people the opportunity to be lifesavers. “Every day people are asked to forward e-mails to their entire contact lists. This is one e-mail link that can truly make a difference in people’s lives,” said Karl B. Kern, MD, professor of medicine at the UA College of Medicine, who chairs the Sarver Heart Center resuscitation group.

So, click on the link and watch the six-minute video; then send it to everyone in your address book. You may not get gold from a faraway land, or become thinner, richer, luckier or more popular, but you are likely to make a huge difference; perhaps saving someone’s life.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EcbgpiKyUbs

Be a Lifesaver with Continuous Chest Compression CPR

If you see someone collapse who isn’t responsive and has trouble breathing:

1. Tell someone to call 911 or make the call yourself.

2. Position the person with the back on the floor. Place the heel of one hand on the center of the chest (between the nipples) and the heel of the other hand on top of the first. Lock your elbows, position your shoulders over your hands and use your upper-body weight to “fall” downward. Lift your hands slightly each time to allow the chest wall to recoil. Try to compress at 100 beats per minute and about 2 inches deep until emergency help arrives.

Note: Mouth-to-mouth CPR still is recommended for drowning and very small children.

The University of Arizona Sarver Heart Center in Tucson, Ariz., emphasizes a highly interdisciplinary research environment fostering innovative translational, or “bench-to-bedside,” research. Working toward a future free of cardiovascular disease and stroke, the center’s more than 150 scientist and physician members collaborate with the goal of applying new findings from the basic sciences to the clinical arena as quickly as possible.

Don't Waste That Lemon Peelby: Junji Takano surya

2011-09-05T08:39:00.002+08:00

Lemon prodctions became more and more abundant around the world because of its nutritious contents. Lemons are used in many different ways in lemon industries and factories, but not among households.

## How do you eat or taste lemon in your house?
Probably, you do not know how to apply lemon the right away.
Do you just squish a few drips to your whisky, vegetable salad, bread, ice cream, roasted meat, cake, baked chicken, fruit drinks, or to your other favorable dishes? If so, what a waste!

## Here, I'll tell you the real use of lemon

I'm sure you know how nutritious a lemon is. But you may only know how to use it as a simple seasoning, as most people do, and not as a side dish. You think that only the squished juice from lemon is used, while the lemon peel is thrown away. Yes, you think that you only need that sour, citrus taste of the lemon's juice, is that right?

However, we found out that many professionals in restaurants and eateries are using or consuming the entire lemon and nothing is wasted.

How can you use the whole lemon without waste? Simple...place the lemon in the freezer section of your refrigerator. Once the lemon is frozen, get your grater, and shred the whole lemon (no need to peel it) and sprinkle it on top of your foods.

Sprinkle it to your whisky, wine, vegetable salad, ice cream, vegetable soup, chicken soup, curry soup, noodles, spaghetti sauce, rice, sushi, meat loaf, sausage, fish dishes, and ramen. It doesn't matter whether it's a Chinese dish, Italian dish, French dish, African, Indian, Japanese, Korean, or Latin American dishes, you just name it.

All of these foods will unexpectedly have wonderful taste, something that you may have never tasted before in your life. You don't believe me? Just try it and you will agree with me. Everything will certainly taste great!

Most likely, if you hear the word lemon, you only think of lemon juice and vitamin C. Not anymore. Now that you've learned this lemon secret, you can use lemon even in instant cup noodles.

## What's the major advantage of using the whole lemon other than preventing waste and adding new taste to your dishes?

Well, you see lemon peels contain as much as 5 to 10 times more vitamins than the lemon juice itself. And yes, that's what you've been wasting. But from now on, by following this simple procedure of freezing the whole lemon, then grating it on top of your dishes, you can consume all of those nutrients and get even healthier.

The lemon peel is good in making you slim if you are a fat person, or makes you healthy fat if you are skinny.

It is very good that the PYRO-ENERGEN is also for the taste of all people. It's also good that lemon peels are health rejuvenators in eradicating toxic elements in the body.

Place your lemon in your freezer, and then grate it on your meal time every day. It is a key to make your foods tastier and you get to live healthier and longer! That's the lemon secret!

命运就是时空中里巴人

2011-08-30T09:18:00.002+08:00

命是长短，运是好坏。有命才有运，有运命不同。命是长短，则长命为要，运是好坏，则好运为佳。命长非长，是感觉长，运好非好，是感觉好。命运好坏非是命运，而是感觉。感是心之感，觉是灵在觉。心灵觉悟，才有真情实感，才知命运在心。

命是时间，运是空间。时间是过去、未来、现在。空间是环境、别人、自己。过去无法修补，若登岸小舟，已随流而去。未来难以攀援，如远望高山，只遥见云端。唯有现在，呼吸之间，身心同感。这就是命。

‘环境’难以改变，如王屋二山，谁将它推转，‘别人’无法强求，如合奏配乐，一任其调弦。只有自己，天人合体，浑然一气，这就是运。

知命是时间，就让时间延伸，知运是空间，就让空间扩展，自由自在，就是最好的命运。

知命就聚焦现在，则命真实清晰，知运就依靠自己，则运亨通便利。福德需时间累积，是命的根基。风水是空间转换，是运的翅膀。知命则福德自生，因为命就是福德。知运则风水自转，因为运就是风水。

命运可以知晓，命运可以转变，命运可以自我陶铸。只在一念之间。

这一念就是当下，这一念就是自强。

不瞻前，不顾后，活在当下，不怨天，不尤人，自强不息。

What You Should Know About Osteoporosis

2011-08-26T22:41:00.002+08:00

by: Junji Takano

When you say "osteoporosis", we immediately think it is caused by lack of calcium. Doctors will recommend you to take more calcium, vitamin D, and sun exposure or sunbath.

However, the latest findings in various hospitals show that the majority of osteoporosis patients are not caused by lack of calcium. Their bones are complete and absorbing calcium. So what is wrong with them? CT scan results show no signs of osteoporosis, yet, the patients easily suffer from bone fractures. What's going on?

Here, we came to know about a new strain of osteoporosis that was discovered since about two years ago.

The most common type of bone fracture nowadays is "spinal fracture". If spinal fracture occurs, the risk of death is eight times higher than any other type of bone fractures.

What is the reason that bones are weakening? Why do patients suffer from broken spine?

It is an important factor to have bone strength, not just bone density. Bone collagen connective tissues are also an important factor to create flexibility. Many of us didn't realize this at first sight. In the past, osteoporosis was viewed more on bone strength, and we never hear and realize about these connective tissues. To improve bone density, it's a common knowledge to do regular exercise and have a higher calcium intake like by eating calcium-rich dried fishes.

But now, we have to think of a new measure to maintain bone collagen connective tissues to have enough flexibility. From this simple measure, you may escape from the risk of death caused by fracture of spinal bones.

To measure or determine strong bone and bone mineral density are not as easy as what you may think. Clinically, it has to pass various tests.

Well, what is the major cause that leads to reduction of bone collagen connective tissues? Do you believe that it is because of high blood sugar?

The major component of bone, which is about one half of its structure, is calcium, and collagen is the other half. Collagen fibres run through hundreds of bone materials (calcium), and the bones that we know are made. You can imagine that the bone materials (calcium) are somewhat bonded by collagen and kept with reasonable flexibility. However, when blood sugar increases, the collagen will be joined as if there is an adhesive cement around, and the bone will become brittle.

To avoid the increase of blood sugar, exercise is one of the best things to do. Aside from it, we recommend you to take a balanced diet that contains vitamin B12 and vitamin B6, and foods such as mackerel, sardines, clams, folic acid, broccoli, spinach, garland chrysanthemum, soybeans, and asparagus. By taking these foods, you can have strong flexible bones.

3 Common Myths on Osteoporosis

1. Myth: Young people should not worry about osteoporosis.

Wrong. You will not realize that you have osteoporosis until you have this condition in advanced stages. That is why it is very important to begin proper nutrition and regular exercise as early as childhood to promote healthy bones.

2. Myth: Only women get osteoporosis.

Wrong. Although less common, men can get osteoporosis, too. 20% of those affected by osteoporosis are men.

3. Myth: Drinking plenty of milk will help you prevent osteoporosis.

Not entirely true. Even though drinking milk is a good way to get calcium, it is not the only factor in preventing osteoporosis. There are others as mentioned in this article.

恢復四大功能，永遠離開癌症

2011-08-20T07:27:00.001+08:00

癌症的病人，只要脾、肝、大腸、腎，四個功能恢復，就能永遠離開癌症、糖尿病、心臟病、高血壓。

恢復四大功能，永遠離開癌症
香港伊利沙伯醫院臨床腫瘤科唐志聰醫生編寫

癌症的病人，只要脾、肝、大腸、腎，四個功能恢復，就能永遠離開癌症、糖尿病、心臟病、高血壓。

癌症不是單一的，要考慮整體。
如果癌症只是一個腫瘤就好辦了，所以過去我們在醫學上犯了一個很大的錯誤，就是只看到這個腫瘤，然後就想，我怎麼把它殺掉，所以用手術把它割掉，用化療去毒它，用放射線去照它、燒它，反正用各種方法把它殺掉就好，然後藥越用越重，真的把它殺掉，癌細胞死了，人也死了。

脾一定要先恢復
脾一定要先恢復，每天三餐五穀雜糧一定要佔總飲食的50％，一定要養成這個習慣。雜糧就是紅豆、黃豆、綠豆、薏仁，這些都是雜糧類，蓮子也很好，有了這個概念之後，脾好肝就好。

脾在造血，一天有兩個重要的時間，就是子時和午時，所以你該休息的時候一定要休息。

肝要恢復好
現在的人大部分都是肝不好，為什麼不好？
晚睡、吃油炸的東西、壞脾氣，這三個正是肝的三大剋星。油包肝，你吃油的東西，油把整個肝包住，肝的功能完全喪失了，所以我們不要吃得太油。當我們身體感覺不適的時候，疾病在糾正人的過失，用身體的痛苦管教他，有痛苦的時候，代表我們要改變。

大腸要恢復好
每天早上，你上廁所感覺很困難，這個表示什麼？你身體纖維素攝取量完全不足，為什麼美國得大腸癌比例那麼高，中國大陸沿海地區得大腸癌的人那麼多。中國的內地平常研究發現，根本沒有腸癌，因為每天上廁所都很順，一坐下去，噗隆，噗隆噗隆！每條都像香蕉，好漂亮！而且排列整齊。

如果你上廁所有困難，這表示什麼？萬病之源，都是從你的大腸不能正常排泄開始。
你如果大腸很好的時候，你早上應該不是自己醒過來，而是被大腸的蠕動叫醒，大腸蠕動在叫你了，為什麼？因為5到7點就是大腸最活躍的時間，所以為什麼我們告訴癌症病人一定要9點睡，因為你的大腸早上6點到7點的時候自然就會蠕動，叫你起床，蹲馬桶了。

你一天要上幾次廁所才夠？

請記住：如果四、五天才上一次廁所，叫重度便秘；兩三天上一次廁所，這個叫中度便秘；一天上一次廁所，叫輕度便秘。怎樣才是最健康，最正常？就是每天吃幾頓飯就上幾次廁所，這個叫健康，而且每次坐下去，兩三分鐘就解決。食物進入體內12小時，沒有排出去，就會形成毒素。因為毒素沒有排出去，我們的大腸壁就會吸收這個毒素，吸收以後，透過靜脈又送回肝臟去，糟糕了！造成肝虧損，這個問題就很嚴重了。

肝不好跟大腸有直接關聯，只要大腸一通順，肝好了，免疫系統也跟著恢復，而且送到心臟的血都是乾淨的，所以什麼病都不容易罹患。

當一個人感覺到每天很容易疲倦、很容易累，表示你的肝功能已經出現問題了，血已經沒有辦法回流到肝！

你身體健康靠的是什麼？

睡眠的時間，脾去收集血液，送到肝臟去解毒，解毒以後，乾淨的血液送到心臟去，心臟再送到全身，就能獲得營養，就能獲得健康。
很不幸的是，現代很多人脾已經先出現問題，脾本身就不收集血液。只有一個辦法最養脾，五穀最養脾，可是現代身體為什麼都這麼差，身體這麼多病？因為都不吃五穀雜糧，吃漢堡、炸雞、牛排、薯條，又吃白米，所以你要吃上帝原始所創造的食物，一定要吃五穀雜糧，原始的雜糧，比如糙米。

【培養健康的習慣】

流汗是排肺毒最好的方法
流汗是排肺毒最好的方法，所以一定要想辦法流汗，尤其是天氣炎熱的時候，因為天氣炎熱就是要讓我們流汗。可是現代人一感覺到炎熱就躲到房間，打開冷氣，流汗的機會自然變少了，身體怎麼會好？現在的人呼吸系統普遍不好，就是經常待在冷氣房，流汗的機會減少了，肺毒不容易排出去。所以，千萬不要排斥流汗，否則呼吸系統的毒排不出去，將造成身體的傷害。

流汗以後一定要喝水，而且不要等到口渴再喝，想到就喝，養成喝水的習慣，坐下來就喝水，不斷地上廁所，這樣可以把腎臟刷洗乾淨。喝水很重要，尤其早上起床後，還沒有刷牙前，先喝下500-600cc，能讓你整夜凝結的美好唾液，通過胃與腸道，把累積在大腸幾十年的宿便排出來，感覺非常好！

要空腹吃水果！

要空腹吃水果！水果很快就會通過胃，經過小腸，大部分都在小腸吸收。如果我們飯後才吃水果，胃已經塞滿東西，水果根本無法通過胃部，經過一段時間，水果就會酸掉、臭掉、腐化，於是引發許多消化系統的問題。所以一定要養成空腹吃水果的習慣。

【釋放壓力七大法】
壓力處理得宜，會變成一種動力，產生生命的活力。壓力如果一直持續增加，會使得腎上腺、荷爾蒙出現很大的問題，引發免疫系統方面的疾病，問題就非常嚴重了。

大部分的憂鬱症都是有很大的壓力突然來到，沒有辦法轉化。我們所處的社會上，壓力一定存在，不可能沒有任何壓力。我們活在這個世界周遭所有的人事物都會對我們產生影響，所以我們如何讓它變成正面、積極的影響。而且使我們面臨的壓力都轉化成生命的動力，就會越活越好。
壓力來自於遇到很多的困難，所以我們要學習把困難改變。一講困難，就真的很困難。遇到困難的時候，不要講困難，要把困難講成挑戰，重要的是我們遇到的事情，做出什麼反應。人生90％是決定於你所做出的反應，不是決定於你所遇到的事。成功的企業跟倒閉的企業，成功的人生跟失敗的人生，他們所遇到的困難、挫折、挑戰都差不多，差別在於如何做出回應而已。

跟壓力關係最大的是癌症，得癌症前六個月，幾乎都有重大的壓力事件發生。癌症復發的，也都幾乎在半年或一年之間有重大事件發生。壓力最普遍的現象就是加重消化系統的疾病。壓力一旦無法轉換，會從生理表現出來，現代文明病絕對不是單一因素所造成，尤其不是病毒或細菌所造成。
糖尿病、心臟病、高血壓、癌症、氣喘、過敏，用藥物控制是一點用都沒有。因為它是綜合性的併發症，它的引爆點就是壓力。跟飲食習慣、生活習慣、生活環境息息相關。它是一個長久累積形成得病的體質，等到一個重要事件打擊，終於生病。

第一、要學會放鬆
當你感到壓力來臨的時候，要學會放鬆。我發現幾個方法很有效，呼吸可以影響腦波的頻率，腦波的頻率可以影響心跳的速度，心跳的速度又可以影響肌肉鬆緊度。這種方式也治療過口吃的病人。你也可以自己練習搓動雙手，用這個方法很有效，可以幫助整個人的氣血回流，體力和精力可很快的充滿。

第二、就是運動
第二個有效紓解壓力的方法就是運動，讓你整個人震動或舞動，很快就可以提振精神，最好有個規律性的運動，因為運動是紓解壓力最好的方法。另外，每天赤腳在草地上走，就可以釋放壓力。

第三、睡眠
第三就是睡眠，睡眠是非常好的方法。但是，現代人普遍睡不好覺。睡眠品質越好，壓力釋放的速度越快。可是不要等全身非常累了再去睡，很容易睡不著；很累還睡不好，表示肝已經嚴重受損。

第四、休息

第四就是休息，休息和睡眠不同，休息是脫離原來的工作，轉換一個場景。舉例，吃飯的時候不要在原來的辦公桌吃。不要到外面吃，浪費時間，而且外面很多都是癌症食品。儘量帶便當，比較節省時間，吃完之後，留15分鐘來做和上班無關的事。剩下來的時間做腹式呼吸，透過呼吸來放鬆。

第五、不吃高壓力食物

第五是飲食，不要吃高壓力的食物，有刺激性的食物都是高壓力食物，越吃這些食物，會使交感神經亢進，有時會刺激身體所有的功能處於警戒狀態。什麼是高壓力食物？可樂、汽水、咖啡、茶、酒精、香煙、乳製品、肉製品，所有的肉，尤其是經過油處理的肉的壓力是最大的。

什麼食物會使心情愉快？聖經創世紀第1章29節：上帝說：「看哪，我將遍地上一切結種子的菜蔬，和一切樹上結有殼的果子全賜給你們做食物了。」讓心情愉快最重要的食物，蔬菜、水果、五穀雜糧。

飲食中一個重要的東西可以減輕壓力，就是水。喝水可以減輕壓力，喝好水可以釋放壓力。

第六、曬太陽

第六個釋放壓力的方法是曬太陽，聖經上常講到，日光有治療的功效。很多憂鬱症患者都不愛曬太陽，平常多曬太陽，身體的抗體會增加。

【每一天把握三個時辰喝水】

此外，有一個很有趣的現象是，現代人不太愛喝水，但多數人卻認為自己已經喝得夠多了，原來是他們把咖啡、果汁和碳酸飲料等也算進去了。尤其咖啡和茶都有利尿作用，容易造成水分大量流失，所以喜歡喝咖啡、茶的人，喝水得比一般人還多才行。

每一天把握三個時辰喝水，保證病痛至少好一半以上。

一、就是早上起床後喝500cc，

二、下午3點鐘喝500cc，

三、晚上9點再喝500cc。

不要等到口渴才喝。

【睡好眠】

怎樣才算睡眠足夠？如何睡好眠？

1. 固定時間入眠

每晚大概約10時，最慢11時入睡，如此一來早上6時左右便會自然醒過來。早睡早起型的人，睡眠一般非常規律，有足夠深沈睡眠的時間，讓身體徹底休息。這是最標準又健康的一種生活型態。

2. 佈置睡眠環境

人腦深處隱藏著一種形似豌豆狀的巧妙腺體，稱為「松果體」，它掌管人體的生理時鐘。松果體在維持人類睡眠機能的正常運作中扮演著重要的角色，它會在適當的時候分泌出一種稱為「褪黑激素」（Melatonin）的神秘賀爾蒙。褪黑激素分泌多的時候，自然我們就會想睡覺；而褪黑激素分泌少的時候，我們自然就會醒過來。松果體被喻為人體的「第三只眼睛」，原因是松果體含了與眼睛相似的色素細胞，對光具有同樣的敏感度，它會根據接收到的光量多少，來決定褪黑激素的分泌量。當我們的眼睛感應不到光線的時候，便會傳達命令到松果體分泌褪黑激素，讓我們進入睡眠。所以如果非要點燈的話，位置最好在低於床的位置以下，避免眼睛接觸到光線。

3. 運用腹式呼吸

一般我們呼吸是利用肺，它是淺、短的呼吸。而腹式呼吸則是深、沈的呼吸，例如吐納功。吸氣時，鼻子吸氣嘴巴閉氣，將腹部充滿氣，吐氣時則相反，以嘴部吐氣而不從鼻子吐氣，氣一定要吐到盡頭。這樣的呼吸法，不僅在運動時使用，在平時更可利用這樣的方式吐納。特別是有恐懼焦慮病症的患者。

4. 睡前2小時不飲食

飲食和睡眠的關係密切，有時候睡前喝過咖啡，於是眼睜睜坐到天亮；有時候吃得太飽的話，又會發惡夢；有時候空著肚子睡覺，整晚又會輾轉難眠。最好在睡前2∼3小時就完全停止一切飲食。

5. 保持愉快的心情

失眠的眾多原因之中，以心理因素最是普遍。只要精神鬆弛下來，自然可以輕易入睡。因為緊張而無法入睡的人，通常都被「我為什麼總是睡不著？」這念頭所困擾。有些人一上床便不斷強逼自己必須入睡，弄得精神非常緊張，如此當然不可能入睡了。

【健康的要件】

第一：正確的飲食醫治身體的疾病。
第二：適當的運動。
第三：充足的睡眠，健康的根基在充足的睡眠。
第四：生活上的規律與節奏。
第五：接受陽光的能。
第六：新鮮的空氣。
第七：無毒生命水。

祝君健康!!!

为什么看去很有修养的人有时练功也难人静?(赵金香宗师))

2011-08-17T13:03:00.003+08:00

这样说，所谓有修养，是从表面来观察。很多人心念很急很乱，一时放不下心来，在练功中，最关心的问题总是显得突出，念念不忘，特别是有关个人利益的事，杂念就更多，一时不能排除杂念，有杂念就静不下来。也有因病重，痛苦较重而影响清静的，这种人除练功按入静方法锻炼外，也可用药物帮助治疗，慢慢就会静下来。

Curry, the new weapon in the war on Alzheimer's

2011-08-12T19:01:00.002+08:00

Curry, the new weapon in the war on Alzheimer's

It probably won't be our main priority when deciding what takeaway to order.

But curries – so often criticised by advocates of healthy eating – may protect against Alzheimer's disease.

Eating a curry two or three times a week could help prevent the onset of Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, an expert said yesterday.
According to Professor Murali Doraiswamy, the magic ingredient is curcumin, a component of the spice turmeric.

Curcumin prevents the spread of harmful amyloid plaques found in the brain of Alzheimer's sufferers, he said.

These plaques are thought to play a key role in symptoms such as memory loss and mental impairment.

Professor Doraiswamy, who grew up in the southern Indian city of Madras, which is famous for its fiery curries, said: 'There is very solid evidence that curcumin binds to plaques, and basic research on animals engineered to produce human amyloid plaques has shown benefits.

'Turmeric has been studied not just in Alzheimer's research but for a variety of conditions, such as cancer and arthritis.

Turmeric is often referred to as the spice of life in ancient Indian medical lore.' A trial is under way at the University of California, Los Angeles, to test curcumin's effects in Alzheimer's patients and specifically on amyloid plaque proteins.

Similar research is about to start at Southampton University, although some British experts suggested that large amounts of curry would have to be eaten to counteract some of the brain changes that are characteristic of Alzheimer's.

Professor Doraiswamy, of the Department of Psychiatry, at Duke University Medical Centre, in Durham, North Carolina, said human studies will build on laboratory research.

He told delegates at the Royal College of Psychiatrists' annual meeting in Liverpool: 'You can modify a mouse so that at about 12 months its brain is riddled with plaques. If you feed the rodent a curcuminrich diet it dissolves these plaques.'

He added: 'Studies looking at populations show that people who eat a curry meal two or three times a week seem to have a lower risk for dementia.' Turmeric is also found in mustard and Professor Doraiswamy predicted a day when those unable, or unwilling, to eat curries might be advised to take a daily 'curry pill'.

氣溫差大的大家要好好保重喔有事沒事常按摩永保頭腦靈光身體健康。

腎臟是身體新陳代謝、排除廢物、排毒的重要器官。

全身的血液每小時經過腎臟二十次，血液裡新陳代謝的廢物透過腎臟過濾變成尿、排出體外。

腎臟功能失調會引起腰酸背痛、水腫、血液中有尿毒、高血壓、尿道發炎、疲倦、失眠、耳鳴、脫髮、視力模糊、反應遲鈍、情緒低落、恐懼感，甚至神經錯亂。

任何進入身體的飲料、食物、空氣和情緒壓力所產生的毒素都會經過腎臟，如果污染物質太多，造成腎臟負擔太重，短期也許會出現阻塞、發炎現象，長期則有結石、功能衰退、血液不乾淨等各種毛病，最嚴重情況要靠人工洗腎清除血液污染，不然會有生命危險。

腎的日常保養「預防勝於治療」。注意保健，避免對腎臟的傷害才是上上之策。

造成腎臟失調的主要原因有下：

1. 食用過多的動物性高蛋白質食物，產生過多尿酸，讓腎臟工作過量。

2. 工作過勞，壓力太大，沒有充分的休閒。

3. 服用西藥，如消炎止痛藥、抗生素等。

4. 環境污染：水源、土壤、空氣、噪音。

5. 飲用酒、咖啡、汽水、冰冷飲料過多。

6. 潮濕寒冷的天氣。

7. 飲水不夠。

要保護腎臟就要減少以上的傷害，多喝水，多吃/喝漿果類--如草莓、蔓越莓（cranberry 小紅莓）、藍莓、覆盆子（raspberry）、西瓜、檸檬等水果/汁，攝取植物性蛋白質，規律運動，清淡的天然飲食，充分的休息，開朗的心情，避免腰部受寒，常用手擦熱按摩腰部，達到強腎的功效。

檸檬養腎法：除此之外，善用檸檬，對腎臟尤其好處多多，同時還可強化肝臟：

1. 溫檸檬汁保養腎臟每日起床後鮮榨一個檸檬，加入一杯200CC溫開水調和（可加少許天然海鹽、口感更滑潤順口），空腹慢慢喝下，可以清潔腎臟，也可通大小便。

2. 檸檬汁排腎結石將12個新鮮檸檬榨汁（要喝之前再榨汁、現榨現喝），加入適量溫開水調和（可加少許天然海鹽、口感更滑潤順口），連續喝七天（一天一打檸檬喝7 天、其餘飲食照舊）。細小的砂石就會由尿道排出。排出的時候，會有刺痛的感覺；如果腎結石很大，已經造成發炎疼痛，可以喝小紅莓汁來消炎止痛。

Coffee: Drink to Your Health

2011-08-03T08:36:00.002+08:00

By Sylvia Booth Hubbard

For many years, coffee was considered a vice, linked with sleepless nights and cigarettes. But scientists have discovered that coffee contains potent antioxidants that can fight numerous ailments, including heart disease and diabetes. According to the American Coffee Association, 54 percent of Americans drink coffee on a daily basis, and they drink, on average, over three cups each.

Most studies examined the effects of caffeinated coffee. When decaffeinated coffee was included, the benefits were usually reduced.

The diseases coffee can benefit include:

• Dementia. Drinking moderate amounts of coffee during middle age — classified as three to five cups daily — can decrease the risk of dementia by 65 percent, according to a 2009 study by Swedish and Finnish researchers.

• Liver disease. In those who drink too much alcohol, those who drank the most coffee — more than four cups every day — reduced their risk of developing alcoholic cirrhosis by 80 percent.

• Heart disease. Research associated with The Nurses' Health Study found that women who drank two to three cups of coffee daily had a 25 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease. Along the same line, a Spanish study found that men who drank more than five cups of coffee each day lowered their risk of dying from heart disease by 44 percent, and that women who drank four to five cups each day reduced their risk by 34 percent.

• Prostate cancer. A recent study from Harvard Medical School found that men who drank the most coffee slashed their risk of developing the fastest growing and most difficult to treat prostate cancers by more than half when compared to men who drank no coffee.

• Gout. Drinking four or more cups of coffee each day dramatically reduces the incidence of gout, say U.S. and Canadian researchers. Men who drank four to five cups daily lowered their risk by 40 percent, and those who drank six or more cups daily reduced their risk of developing gout by 59 percent when compared to men who didn't drink coffee.

• Breast cancer. Coffee can either reduce the risk of developing breast cancer or delay its onset, according to Swedish studies. They found that coffee alters a woman's metabolism and produces a safer balance of estrogens. Women who drank two to three cups of coffee a day reduced their cancer risk by as much as two-thirds, depending on the specific type of breast cancer.

• Diabetes. Enjoying six or more cups of coffee daily can cut chances of Type 2 diabetes by 54 percent in men and 30 percent in women over those who don't drink coffee.

• Parkinson's disease. Several studies show that drinking coffee lowers a man's risk of developing Parkinson's up to 80 percent — and the more the better.

• Colon cancer. A Japanese report found that women who drank three or more cups of coffee every day slashed their risk of developing colon cancer in half.

What's responsible for coffee's healthy benefits? Most researchers believe it's the antioxidants (polyphenols or flavonoids) in coffee, but there are hundreds of compounds in coffee that may be partially responsible.

练功怎样人静? (赵金香宗师)

2011-07-31T11:22:00.002+08:00

气功锻炼主要是松与静，特别是入静，鹤功的五节动功，是动中求静，意带形动，气随意行，意、气、形统一，也就是让练功者在动中达到精神集中，不要胡思乱想，不能有杂念。否则，练功就不能入静。所以，首先要求意、气、形统一，这是由浅入深的入静方法。站桩在出现自发动作以后，怎样真正达到入静?入静的方法很多，简述一两种供参考，如“听息法”。练功者宁神静意细听呼吸。“数息法”，就是数一下呼吸的次数，从一至十，再折回从一开始。“排贼法”，就是练功者在练功前暗示自己，现在开始练功，排除一切干扰，收功后再想。

“追贼法”，如有真正关心的事情，一时又放不下，就干脆让其进入脑海，进行逻辑思考，得出结论，杂念就自然不存在了。还有一种方法，就是在入静以后，细细去意识丹田的位置、变化和各种境界，或自身体会气化的反应等等。

醒過來(故事分享)

2011-07-31T07:29:00.004+08:00

對於人生所發生的事情~
要怎樣面對是有所選擇的……….

這個世界上有太多煩惱，所以有許多人，不約而同地問了佛祖一樣的問題：

「我該怎麼做，才能不再煩憂？」

佛祖給的答案都相同：

「只要放下，你就能不再煩惱。」

有個自以為聰明的人很不服氣，便專程去找佛祖，挑釁地問：

「世上有千千萬萬個人，就有千千萬萬種煩惱。但是您給他們的解決方式都完全相同，那豈不是太可笑了？」

佛祖沒有生氣，只是反問男子：「你晚上睡覺的時候，會做夢嗎？」

「當然會！」男子回答。

「那麼，你每天晚上做的夢，都是一樣的嗎？」佛祖又問。

「當然是不一樣的。」

「你睡了千千萬萬次，就做了千千萬萬個夢。」

佛祖微笑地說：

「但是要結束夢的方法，卻都是一樣的，那就是：『醒過來』！」

男子聽到佛祖的回答，啞口無言。

我很喜歡這則禪宗故事。這則故事把煩惱比喻成「夢」，只要我們願意放下，就能從夢中清醒來。

無論你的煩惱是什麼，方法都是一樣的。

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

我當義工的時候，分別探訪過兩個老婦人。她們的人生際遇有驚人的雷同：

都自小喪母，成為別人的養女；都嫁了一個酗酒的老公；兒子都很不孝順；兩人身體都不好，晚年都在洗腎。

然而，她們兩人的心境卻大不相同。

第一個老婦人談及往事，她處之泰然。她說種種的不順遂，是她人生的功課，現在她年紀大了，該吃的苦都吃過了，所以她覺得自己真好運，人生像倒吃甘蔗，愈來愈順利。

這名老婦人，現在是某公益團體的義工。

第二個老婦人談及往事，仍然咬牙切齒。她指天怪地，罵兒子詛咒媳婦，她說老天爺對她真不公平！這名老婦人，也跟那個公益團體有關，但她不是義工，而是受到義工關懷的憂鬱症患者。

讓我印象深刻的，是她們兩個臉上的表情、散發的氣息形成了強烈的對比。

當下讓我感覺：中國人說的「相由心生」，真的非常有道理。

當義工的老太太，因為已經放下了煩惱，所以給人的感覺是祥和又親切，讓人很想親近，表情有如菩薩。

得憂鬱症的老婦人，還把多年來的不順遂、痛苦扛在肩上，她的氣息尖銳又暴烈，讓人避之唯恐不及，表情如同厲鬼。

然而，對於後者，其實我是深刻地同情的。她的一輩子都在吃苦，但她不但不願意放下那些苦，還要抱著那些其實已經遠離的苦難不放，讓它們繼續折磨自己。

也許，人生真的有太多無法逆轉的苦難、無法挽回的遺憾。

也許在夜闌人靜的時候，我們會因此哭泣，覺得蒼天真是無情，竟然讓我承受如此巨大的痛苦……

但是，你我都不應該忘記，能將我們從痛苦的地獄拯救出來的，絕對不是別人，只有我們自己。

人生有太多包袱，我們可以選擇將它一一扛在肩上，也能選擇瀟灑地放下它們，而能否放下，則會決定我們未來的人生，將繼續痛苦，還是可以享有幸福。

想擺脫惡夢的糾纏，唯一的方式是「醒過來」；想忘卻人生的不順遂，唯一的方法就是「放下」。

人生有太多包袱，我們可以選擇將它一一扛在肩上，也能瀟灑地放下它們。

20 Pain Cures You Can Find in Your Kitchen

2011-07-22T07:12:00.001+08:00

Make muscle pain a memory with ginger

When Danish researchers asked achy people to jazz up their diets with ginger, it eased muscle and joint pain, swelling and stiffness for up to 63 percent of them within two months. Experts credit ginger’s potent compounds called gingerols, which prevent the production of pain-triggering hormones. The study-recommended dose: Add at least 1 teaspoon of dried ginger or 2 teaspoons of chopped ginger to meals daily.

Cure a toothache with cloves

Got a toothache and can’t get to the dentist? Gently chewing on a clove can ease tooth pain and gum inflammation for two hours straight, say UCLA researchers. Experts point to a natural compound in cloves called eugenol, a powerful, natural anesthetic. Bonus: Sprinkling a ¼ teaspoon of ground cloves on meals daily may also protect your ticker. Scientists say this simple action helps stabilize blood sugar, plus dampen production of artery-clogging cholesterol in as little as three weeks.

Heal heartburn with cider vinegar

Sip 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with 8 ounces of water before every meal, and experts say you could shut down painful bouts of heartburn in as little as 24 hours. “Cider vinegar is rich in malic and tartaric acids, powerful digestive aids that speed the breakdown of fats and proteins so your stomach can empty quickly, before food washes up into the esophagus, triggering heartburn pain,” explains Joseph Brasco, M.D., a gastroenterologist at the Center for Colon and Digestive Diseases in Huntsville, AL.

Erase earaches with garlic

Painful ear infections drive millions of Americans to doctors’ offices every year. To cure one fast, just place two drops of warm garlic oil into your aching ear twice daily for five days. This simple treatment can clear up ear infections faster than prescription meds, say experts at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine. Scientists say garlic’s active ingredients (germanium, selenium, and sulfur compounds) are naturally toxic to dozens of different pain-causing bacteria. To whip up your own garlic oil gently simmer three cloves of crushed garlic in a half a cup of extra virgin olive oil for two minutes, strain, then refrigerate for up to two weeks, suggests Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., co-author of the book, Best Choices From The People’s Pharmacy. For an optimal experience, warm this mix slightly before using so the liquid will feel soothing in your ear canal.

Chase away joint and headache pain with cherries

Latest studies show that at least one in four women is struggling with arthritis, gout or chronic headaches. If you’re one of them, a daily bowl of cherries could ease your ache, without the stomach upset so often triggered by today’s painkillers, say researchers at East Lansing’s Michigan State University. Their research reveals that anthocyanins, the compounds that give cherries their brilliant red color, are anti-inflammatories 10 times stronger than ibuprofen and aspirin. “Anthocyanins help shut down the powerful enzymes that kick-start tissue inflammation, so they can prevent, as well as treat, many different kinds of pain,” explains Muraleedharan Nair, Ph.D., professor of food science at Michigan State University. His advice: Enjoy 20 cherries (fresh, frozen or dried) daily, then continue until your pain disappears.

Fight tummy troubles with fish

Indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, inflammatory bowel diseases…if your belly always seems to be in an uproar, try munching 18 ounces of fish weekly to ease your misery. Repeated studies show that the fatty acids in fish, called EPA and DHA, can significantly reduce intestinal inflammation, cramping and belly pain and, in some cases, provide as much relief as corticosteroids and other prescription meds. “EPA and DHA are powerful, natural, side effect-free anti-inflammatories, that can dramatically improve the function of the entire gastrointestinal tract,” explains biological chemist Barry Sears, Ph.D., president of the Inflammation Research Foundation in Marblehead, MA. For best results, look for oily fish like salmon, sardines, tuna, mackerel, trout and herring.

Prevent PMS with yogurt

Up to 80 percent of women will struggle with premenstrual syndrome and its uncomfortable symptoms, report Yale researchers. The reason: Their nervous systems are sensitive to the ups and downs in estrogen and progesterone that occur naturally every month. But snacking on 2 cups of yogurt a day can slash these symptoms by 48 percent, say researchers at New York’s Columbia University. “Yogurt is rich in calcium, a mineral that naturally calms the nervous system, preventing painful symptoms even when hormones are in flux,” explains Mary Jane Minkin, M.D., a professor of gynecology at Yale University.

Tame chronic pain with turmeric

Studies show turmeric, a popular East Indian spice, is actually three times more effective at easing pain than aspirin, ibuprofen or naproxen, plus it can help relieve chronic pain for 50 percent of people struggling with arthritis and even fibromyalgia, according to Cornell researchers. That’s because turmeric’s active ingredient, curcumin, naturally shuts down cyclooxygenase 2, an enzyme that churns out a stream of pain-producing hormones, explains nutrition researcher Julian Whitaker, M.D. and author of the book, Reversing Diabetes. The study-recommended dose: Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of this spice daily onto any rice, poultry, meat or vegetable dish.

End endometrial pain with oats

The ticket to soothing endometriosis pain could be a daily bowl of oatmeal. Endometriosis occurs when little bits of the uterine lining detach and grow outside of the uterus. Experts say these migrating cells can turn menstruation into a misery, causing so much inflammation that they trigger severe cramping during your period, plus a heavy ache that drags on all month long. Fortunately, scientists say opting for a diet rich in oats can help reduce endometrial pain for up to 60 percent of women within six months. That’s because oats don’t contain gluten, a trouble-making protein that triggers inflammation in many women, making endometriosis difficult to bear, explains Peter Green, M.D., professor of medicine at Colombia University.

Soothe foot pain with salt

Experts say at least six million Americans develop painful ingrown toenails each year. But regularly soaking ingrown nails in warm salt water baths can cure these painful infections within four days, say scientists at California’s Stanford University. The salt in the mix naturally nixes inflammation, plus it’s anti-bacterial, so it quickly destroys the germs that cause swelling and pain. Just mix 1 teaspoon of salt into each cup of water, heat to the warmest temperature that you can comfortably stand, and then soak the affected foot area for 20 minutes twice daily, until your infection subsides.

Prevent digestive upsets with pineapple

Got gas? One cup of fresh pineapple daily can cut painful bloating within 72 hours, say researchers at California’s Stanford University. That's because pineapple is natually packed with proteolytic enzymes, digestive aids that help speed the breakdown of pain-causing proteins in the stomach and small intestine, say USDA researchers.

Relax painful muscles with peppermint

Suffering from tight, sore muscles? Stubborn knots can hang around for months if they aren’t properly treated, says naturopath Mark Stengler, N.D., author of the book, The Natural Physician’s Healing Therapies. His advice: Three times each week, soak in a warm tub scented with 10 drops of peppermint oil. The warm water will relax your muscles, while the peppermint oil will naturally soothe your nerves — a combo that can ease muscle cramping 25 percent more effectively than over-the-counter painkillers, and cut the frequency of future flare-ups in half, says Stengler.

Give your back some TLC with grapes

Got an achy back? Grapes could be the ticket to a speedy recovery. Recent studies at Ohio State University suggest eating a heaping cup of grapes daily can relax tight blood vessels, significantly improving blood flow to damaged back tissues (and often within three hours of enjoying the first bowl). That’s great news because your back’s vertebrae and shock-absorbing discs are completely dependent on nearby blood vessels to bring them healing nutrients and oxygen, so improving blood flow is essential for healing damaged back tissue, says Stengler.

Wash away pain injuries with water

Whether it’s your feet, your knees or your shoulders that are throbbing, experts at New York’s Manhattan College, say you could kick-start your recovery in one week just by drinking eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily. Why? Experts say water dilutes, and then helps flush out, histamine, a pain-triggering compound produced by injured tissues. “Plus water is a key building block of the cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones, your joints’ lubricating fluid, and the soft discs in your spine,” adds Susan M. Kleiner, Ph.D., author of the book, The Good Mood Diet. “And when these tissues are well-hydrated, they can move and glide over each other without causing pain.” One caveat: Be sure to measure your drinking glasses to find out how large they really are before you start sipping, she says. Today’s juice glasses often hold more than 12 ounces, which means five servings could be enough to meet your daily goal.

Heal sinus problems with horseradish

Latest studies show sinusitis is the nation’s number one chronic health problem. And this condition doesn’t just spur congestion and facial pain, it also makes sufferers six times more likely to feel achy all-over. Horseradish to the rescue! According to German researchers, this eye-watering condiment naturally revs up blood flow to the sinus cavities, helping to open and drain clogged sinuses and heal sinus infections more quickly than decongestant sprays do. The study-recommended dose: One teaspoon twice daily (either on its own, or used as a sandwich or meat topping) until symptoms clear.

Beat bladder infections with blueberries

Eating 1 cup of blueberries daily, whether you opt for them fresh, frozen or in juice form, can cut your risk of a urinary tract infection (UTIs) by 60 percent, according to researchers at New Jersey’s Rutgers University. That's because blueberries are loaded with tannins, plant compounds that wrap around problem-causing bacteria in the bladder, so they can’t get a toehold and create an infection, explains Amy Howell, Ph.D. a scientist at Rutgers University.

Heal mouth sores with honey

Dab painful canker and cold sores with unpasteurized honey four times daily until these skin woes disappear, and they’ll heal 43 percent faster than if you use a prescription cream, say researchers at the Dubai Specialized Medical Center in the United Arab Emirates. Raw honey’s natural enzymes zap inflammation, destroy invading viruses and speed the healing of damaged tissues, say the study authors.

Fight breast pain with flax

In one recent study, adding 3 tablespoons of ground flax to their daily diet eased breast soreness for one in three women within 12 weeks. Scientists credit flax’s phytoestrogens, natural plant compounds that prevent the estrogen spikes that can trigger breast pain. More good news: You don’t have to be a master baker to sneak this healthy seed into your diet. Just sprinkle ground flax on oatmeal, yogurt, applesauce or add it to smoothies and veggie dips.

Cure migraines with coffee

Prone to migraines? Try muscling-up your painkiller with a coffee chaser. Whatever over-the-counter pain med you prefer, researchers at the National Headache Foundation say washing it down with a strong 12- ounce cup of coffee will boost the effectiveness of your medication by 40 percent or more. Experts say caffeine stimulates the stomach lining to absorb painkillers more quickly and more effectively.

Tame leg cramps with tomato juice

At least one in five people regularly struggle with leg cramps. The culprit? Potassium deficiencies, which occur when this mineral is flushed out by diuretics, caffeinated beverages or heavy perspiration during exercise. But sip 10 ounces of potassium-rich tomato juice daily and you'll not only speed your recovery, you'll reduce your risk of painful cramp flare-ups in as little as 10 days, say UCLA researchers.

◎慈悲沒有敵人聖嚴法師

2011-07-19T07:44:00.002+08:00

可憐人、同情人、原諒人、愛護人、關懷人等，都可以算是慈悲精神的表現。慈悲的主要目的是心中無敵，無敵就是心中沒有敵人，沒有過去的宿仇，也沒有現在的怨家，更不製造未來的對頭。所以不是仗權勢而稱無敵，也不是憑財力而稱無敵，更不是靠武力打敗一切人而稱無敵，乃是以慈悲心照顧、原諒一切人。慈悲心愈大就愈能夠感化人。

在這個世界上，沒有一個人能夠免於受人批評，即使佛陀也不例外。縱然未得罪過人，卻無法不讓人討厭、不讓人仇視；就算你不跟人鬥，人家也會找著你鬥，你不跟人爭，人家也會跟你競爭。但你不必介意人家如何，自己心中要沒有敵人。

例如在我們的農禪寺裡有一位人人稱許的好人，大家都說他好，師父也常稱讚他好，這時候，可能就會有一、兩人覺得有一點酸溜溜的，會想：「他好，難道我就不好？師父老是說他好，為什麼師父不曾說過我呢？」這樣的人，心中就有了敵人。有敵，就是有比較的對象；敵是敵對，敵對不一定是怨家，就像女孩子嫉妒別人長得漂亮、穿得美麗，這不就是和對方作對了？如果不是嫉妒，而是見賢思齊，那就是慈悲心。

如何用慈悲？要常常往相反的方向說、往相反的方向看、往相反的方向解釋。例如有人無緣無故地瞪你一眼，你心裡一定毛毛的，此時，你應該要用相反的方向來解釋、來體會：「他瞪我一眼，可能是我的臉長得不太好看；或者我今天有什麼不對勁，他提醒了我，我要感謝他。」「人家的表情就是我的鏡子」，見他面目可憎，多半是因為自己的面目大概也不太好，至少我的樣子讓他生氣、我的氣質讓他討厭，所以他才會瞪我一眼。

此外你也要想：他雖然是在瞪我，可能不是生我的氣，不知道是為了什麼事情不開心？他這時候應該受到關懷。所以不要「以眼還眼」，應該避開他，或者替他念一句阿彌陀佛，願他能夠心裡平安，這樣就是慈悲心。否則，一旦生起對立心，你就離開慈悲心；若能為他設想，原諒他、可憐他、關懷他，就能轉敵對心成慈悲心了。

如果一個蠻不講理的人在你面前出現，你的心裡一定會毛毛的，這時要想：「他已經不講理了，生氣了，我應該講理、不要生氣，否則氣上加氣更麻煩。」因此不論任何時間，只要我們能用一種相反的念頭來轉變對人、事、物的看法，這就是慈悲心。

但是當我們還是凡夫的階段，要想做到完全心中無敵是很難的，所以我們要時時想到慈悲心，至少就不會老是生氣了。

◎智慧不起煩惱

不要以為開悟才是智慧，智慧是頭腦冷靜，是理智、理性。人的煩惱都是從情緒、情感產生，尤其碰到感情問題一定會有煩惱，必須用理智、理性來處理，煩惱才會減少。

曾經有一位女孩來找我，非常痛苦地哭著說，她認識一位男孩，交往了七年，二人在一起彼此都很痛苦，生不如死。可是分開又會互相思念，她想離開他，可是男孩子威脅她，沒有她的話，他會去死。但她認為，如果她真的離開他，他並不會去死，如果二人繼續纏在一起，倒有可能二人都累死。我要她用理智來思考衡量，過了一段時間，她想通了，便破涕為笑。

很多問題都應該以客觀的理性來處理，要以權衡輕重的智慧去分析。有些人一遇到困難就到神前丟筊杯，這不是究竟的方法，如果用智慧、理智來處理，問題根本不會存在。犯了法要坐牢，可以委請律師設法減輕罪刑，但是應該坐的牢還是要去，那就沒有煩惱了；有病的人要去看醫生，也可以念阿彌陀佛、念觀世音菩薩，有人在醫生宣布醫藥無效的狀況下，因為念了阿彌陀佛、念了觀世音菩薩而奇蹟式的復原，這種例子很多。

佛法的智慧，是指無私無我的觀察力、抉擇力、判斷力，不論遇到任何狀況，都只有應當怎麼做就怎麼做，不為自身的利害得失設想。由於凡事不為自己的私利求，所以不會為自己招致煩惱。

佛法的智慧，是因洞察世事無常，所以知道沒有一事一物能夠永恆不變；凡夫因為不解世事無常，所以把暫時的身心世界，當作小我大我，爭人我、爭多少、爭內外、爭對錯，以致惹生許多的煩惱。

其實，天下本無事，庸人自擾之。庸人是沒有智慧的人，不用理智、不用理性處理事情的人，若知佛法，情況就會改善。佛法是講因果及因緣的，懂得因果，凡事不會怨尤；懂得因緣，凡事不會強求，哪還會煩惱什麼？

Guyabano Cancer Cure

2011-07-08T07:12:00.002+08:00

Guyabano, The Soursop Fruit has cancer curing abilities. The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo. The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects..

Guyabano is a tree called graviola in Brazil , guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name “soursop” in English.

The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types. Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:

* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life
* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
* What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells.

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.

Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree’s anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976.

The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells.” Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public. Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, but as of now, no double-blind clinical trials.

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.

Note By Tom Coghill. This research looks good but cancer is never that easy to heal. It would be great to put this to the test. The juice would have to be fresh. The seeds have to be removed before blending or juicing.

不要把一生賣給公司，留給家人的卻是破銅爛鐵

2011-06-29T20:47:00.000+08:00

很有意思的一句話！形容的很貼切不是嗎，在台灣大家都只忙著工作賺錢，忘了工作原先的旨意；反觀國外，大家努力工作也努力享受工作帶來的成就感及所提供的生活品質。

程天縱──出身惠普（HP），在他離開時，惠普(HP)員工送給─程天縱（德儀Texas Instrument亞洲區總裁）之口訣：以健康為中心，瀟灑一點，糊塗一點，功勞是老闆的，錢財是子女的，官爵是一時的，只有身體是自己的，「不要把一生心血精華賣給公司，留給家人的卻是破銅爛鐵」。

維豐在新竹科學園區上班，每天不管工作到幾點，他一定開車回台北的家，每個人聽了都好羨慕他們夫妻如此恩愛。季擇聽了這種事，頗不以為然，說他每天雖然應酬到很晚，一定回家睡覺，他也是先生，怎麼沒人讚美他？

鼓勵做老公做爸爸的男人回家，是一樁推行很久的運動，有些男人就把「回家」當作指標，但他卻忘了，他的心有沒有一起跟著回家。

曾經在美國住過一陣子，他們的社區裡，每到下班時間，就看到一家家的先生開車回來後可沒閒著，衣服一脫換上工作服，不是除草修自行車，就是遛狗整理庭院。夜幕低垂，全家一起看電視，很早就上床睡覺，很少人會去喝酒應酬。週末假日，不是在院子裡除草、烤肉，或在車庫辦個小型舊物拍賣，就是全家出門旅行。他們回家，是把心和身和愛，都一起放在家裡。

反觀我們這兒，賣命加班、努力應酬、拚命喝酒、用勁唱歌，把實驗室當家、把PUB當家、把朋友家當家，你的家只是摸黑回去了，管他是沙發是地板是浴室，倒頭就睡。醒來迷迷糊糊的，梳洗一番又去上班了，沒跟太太說上一句話，沒跟孩子打過一個照面，搞不好跑錯人家，你都不知道。

做爸的如此，兒女上行下效也如此，做媽的心想，你們都不回來，我也出去吧！「家」就變成了一個空殼子。

不論你家誰是一家之主，不妨率先示範：

※每週最多一晚去應酬。不管是談生意，跟朋友聊天，或是跟主管籠絡感情，

一週最少一次，其餘時間應該留給伴侶談話，和孩子聊天，跟家人建立感情。

※即使晚歸，也要清醒。醉酒開車要重罰，真是一大福音，至少大家都不敢在夜裡喝了，

最好是連計程車也拒載酒醉之人說不定能挽救不少形同陌路的婚姻。因為沒喝酒，

回到家，至少還能清醒的跟家人說說話。

※回家以後，不以自己會賺錢自誇，照樣樂在家事中。家事是全家人的事，

在外奔波雖然很辛苦，但是在家忙碌，也不輕省。互相體貼，

付出愛心，隨手做家事。

※不要把一生心血精華賣給公司，留給家人的卻是破銅爛鐵。為公司賣命，

贏得高薪與高職，確實很有成就感。但隨著你的退休被淘汰，這些都成過眼雲煙。

然而，你給家人的愛，卻是一輩子不會變質，他們會回報你以更多的愛。

Be home with your heart.

fighting osteoporosis the simple, natural way using egg shells and lemon juice

2011-06-22T21:09:00.002+08:00

Take two aunts of a friend of mine...

After living through decades of monthly cramps, 5 childbirths between them, then decades of childrearing followed by the menopause, both ladies were diagnosed with osteoporosis - a condition where the bones become weak and easily broken.

Both women were given drugs to deal with it...
but only one of them had any success.

And you won't believe the reason why...

But only one of my friend's aunts took their drugs.
The other just ditched hers in the bin!

When the 'cured' aunt started looking for natural alternatives to treat her osteoporosis, she came across an amazing study.

Back in 2002, Dutch researchers took a group of post-menopausal women and gave half of them a calcium carbonate supplement and the other half calcium from eggshells.

After a year, the bone density in the women taking the calcium carbonate had gone right down.

But the bone density for the women taking the eggshell calcium had significantly increased.

Interesting, isn't it?

A lot of supplement companies make good money out of perpetuating the belief that if you take a calcium supplement your bone density will increase.

But that's not how it works, as the dutch study shows. Your body needs more than just calcium for healthy bones. B vitamins, vitamin C and D, phosphorus, magnesium and are all known to be essential.

And that's why eggshell calcium works so well.

Eggshells are made up of calcium and 26 other elements. In fact, they're very similar in content to your bones and teeth.

Don't worry, I'm not suggesting you sit down for breakfast, eat your dippy egg and then crunch your way through the remaining shell. There is an easy, more palatable way to extract all those nutrients.

How to make your own super calcium supplement

- Wash some empty eggshells in warm water and let them dry

- Break them into small pieces and grind them to into a fine powder. Coffee grinders work best but a blender or even a pestle and mortar will do. Store the powder in an airtight jar.

- Mix 1/2 teaspoon of powdered eggshell with the juice of half a freshly squeezed lemon. (Yes, lemon again! Have you bought YOUR tree yet? Lemon Trees) The solution will start to bubble and foam.

- Leave at room temperature for 6-12 hours and that's it! It's ready to take.

Half a teaspoon of eggshell gives you about 400mgs or calcium citrate, which is the recommended amount you should take each day.

Ever since my friend's aunt started taking eggshell calcium, she's been regaining bone density. All her sisters take it now.

If you've been diagnosed with osteoporosis, why not give it a go?

And while we're on the subject, here are a few more natural, proven ways to help prevent osteoporosis:

- Up your intake of essential fatty acids.
Fish oil containing EPA and GLA has been shown to protect against osteoporosis. There are plenty of fish oil supplements in the shops these days - and there's always cod liver oil. Or just make sure you enjoy some salmon, mackerel, sardines or other oily fish three times a week.

- Exercise your way to healthier bones
More than 100 studies show that regular exercise such as brisk walking, running, aerobics, tennis and badminton strengthen your bones and lower your risk of getting a fracture.

- Enjoy the sunshine.
Vitamin D increases the amount of calcium and magnesium your body absorbs from food. Better still, it makes sure more calcium enters the bones and stays there. Your body produces it when your skin comes into contact with sunlight. So just make sure you get outside for at least 20 mins a day.

- Eat a varied, wholefood diet.
It goes without saying, right? But since calcium is best absorbed with all the other trace elements we've been talking about, it makes sense to eat it in its natural form. Almonds and broccoli give you plenty of calcium along with magnesium, phosphorous, B vitamins and iron - all essential for healthy bones.

- Don't cook with aluminium.
Studies have shown that aluminium can inhibit the parathyroid gland which can then lead to osteoporosis. So instead of using foil to cook in the oven, use baking paper. To store food, use a glass container. Avoid plastic containers, especially soft, flimsy ones. They're full of phthalates which have been linked to cancer. But that's a whole other story...

膝盖是治病养生的关键部位中里巴人

2011-06-10T23:50:00.002+08:00

可以从膝盖发现病也可以从膝盖去治病。还可从膝盖来养生。膝盖无论从探病、治病和养生来讲都非常的迅捷。从膝盖发现的病，不光是膝盖本身的病，而是脏腑和骨骼的病，所以膝盖就象是疾病这团乱麻的线头一样。膝盖为筋之府，如果把骨骼比作钢桥那么筋就是钢桥的铁索，如果把脏腑比作房子，那么筋就是脏腑的檩梁。脏腑有病，筋必有病，骨骼有病，筋必有病。也可以反着推断，筋有病，脏腑必病，筋有病，骨骼必病。但脏腑难治，骨骼难治，而筋好治。只要把拘挛的筋抻开，筋一伸展，筋就正常了，病也就消了，若把筋再拉长，再刺激它坚韧，那么脏腑和骨骼就可以常保健康，身体自然也就更加强壮了。

说好治，是相对于不知病因，徒治病症，头痛医头而言。但也并不见得就能立竿见影。即便是捷径，也得努力去走，要有些信心，耐心，恒心才行，没有一蹴而就的美事。

把筋抻开，也不是马上就可以做到的。这个筋一直通到肚子里面。你拉它，就好象在拉扯你的肚子，开始的时候，肚子没有感觉，因为膝盖上攒着一大堆萎缩的废筋。这是些干枯少血硬化的筋，它让你本来舒展的大腿活动受限。但你因为日常的生活，不需要把腿抬得那么高，也就没有察觉，直到上下楼走路都有些不便的时候才引起你的注意。

然后不但你的膝盖已经受损，还会发现腰也不再灵活，腿上也布满了静脉曲张，实际上这一切只不过是筋拘挛了，或者更通俗的说，攒在一起了。我们要把它重新拉开。

有人说，那些体操运动员、舞蹈演员的筋是不是早就很舒展了，应该说身体会是非常健康吧，可是很多人也都有病，有的还是一身的伤病，这又怎么解释呢？其实经络通了筋才是真正的通畅，要记住经络是内连脏腑，外通四肢百骸，所以经络是一整条，不能分区割裂开的，然而很多人从下肢锻炼筋的时候，并没有把筋整体的去锻炼，很多人为了急功近利，生生的把局部的筋给拉长了，而实际上并没有很好的和脏腑相连，所以脏腑和四肢之间的筋是断开的。这样即使筋在腿的部分被拉开，实际上，脏腑的部分还是蜷缩在一起的，还是拘挛的。这时如果用重新打通经络的方法，会出现这样一个现象：那些早年就能抻开的筋，现在居然又缩回去了，腿反而变得僵硬了。很多人在这个时候，会认为是自己练坏了，出现了新问题，实际上是对早年损伤的筋和经络一个重新的修复，把经络和筋放在一起来说，好象会让人产生筋就是经络的误解。其实此二者是截然不同的。筋、骨、皮肉、血管，就象是电脑里的硬件，而经络是控制这些硬件的软件。控制硬件的软件http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif出了问题，那么硬件肯定是会受到影响，那么谁先谁后出现问题呢？实际上此二者是同时出现问题。但有问题，并不见得我们会察觉它。身体的耐受力是很大的。

但是打通经络从筋上入手真是方便法门。容易炼也容易体会到成就感。当你在成年的时候通过循序渐进，而让自己变成了一个瑜伽高手的时候，你真是会感受到人的强大潜能。而这一切，都可以从抻开膝盖的筋做起，找对了路，一生都是柳暗花明，如有神助。

Rub Your Stomach Away in 2 Minutes a Day?

2011-06-04T08:28:00.002+08:00

By Enjoy A Great Life

Did You Know…

… that you can rub your stomach away effortlessly using nothing but your hand — for only 2 minutes a day?

After spending a lovely long weekend at Center Parcs, it was fascinating to observe just how many people seemed to be battling the bulge - especially that bulge around the middle!

I love this simple idea of “rubbing your stomach away in 2 minutes a day” – a good habit to add to your daily routine don’t you think?

This may sound hard to believe, but Dr. Stephen Chang, an M.D. and Ph.D. who’s trained in both Western and Chinese medicine, states that this simple 2-minute internal exercise, which does not come from Western medicine, but rather from the wisdom of ancient Chinese sages — has been used successfully as a self-healing mechanism for over 6,000 years.

Whatever you do, don’t confuse this internal exercise with the external exercises of the Western world, such as sit-ups, crunches and other movements that only firm up the underlying stomach muscles … but do nothing to melt the fat surrounding those muscles.

According to Dr. Chang, losing weight is a simple matter of increasing the efficiency of the digestive system. If you’ve ever wondered why you fail to shed pounds even when you reduce your food and/or caloric intake — the reason is because your digestive and eliminatory systems are not functioning efficiently.

The following 2-minute exercise works like a gentle colonic irrigation that helps speed up a sluggish digestive system (which usually carries at least 5 pounds of fecal matter within it), and this elimination of useless sludge has the effect of burning off excess fat. The exercise effectively metabolizes the fatty tissues around the stomach and intestines, and flushes them out of your body through blood, sweat, urine, and feces.

Here’s how to do the stomach-rubbing exercise:

1) Lie flat on your back on your bed or on the floor. Take your top off or pull it up so that your abdominal area is bare.2) Rub your hands together vigorously for about 15 seconds, or until they feel hot. 3) Place one of your hands directly on your belly button and begin to rub in

small circles around your belly button, and gradually make the circles larger (as shown in the diagram). Use fairly firm but comfortable pressure and rub at a slow, even pace, approximately 1 circle per second.

4) Concentrate on the heat building up in, around and throughout your stomach.

5) Do about 40 to 50 circles, or for an approximate duration of 2 minutes or more.

Note: It is important to keep the abdominal area warm while doing the exercise, especially during winter months when even heated indoor air tends to be cool.

For best results, do this routine twice a day for 2 minutes — first thing in the morning (before breakfast) and just before you go to bed. Most people see noticeable results within 1 week of consistent practice.

According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the stomach is the center of energy. Massaging the stomach in the manner described above therefore accomplishes more than just melting away adipose tissue (fat). It also …

* stimulates the abdominal organs
* helps speed up slow digestion and remedies constipation
* increases blood circulation in the abdominal area
* helps heal indigestion, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and the adverse
effects of overeating

Caution: The stomach massage should not be practiced immediately after a heavy meal. Neither is it advisable for women who are pregnant, or have inflammation of the uterus, bladder, ovaries and fallopian tubes; and individuals who have the following conditions: hypertension; stones in the gall bladder, kidneys or bladder

; general, femoral, inguinal and umbilical hernia; bleeding of the stomach, lungs or brain; or ulcers of the intestines and stomach.

生命的缺口

2011-05-31T09:47:00.001+08:00

作者：張忠謀

在一個講究包裝的社會裡，我們常禁不住羨慕別人光鮮華麗的外表，而對自己的欠缺耿耿於懷。

但就我多年觀察，我發現沒有一個人的生命是完整無缺的，每個人都少了一樣東西。

有人夫妻恩愛、月入數十萬，卻是有嚴重的不孕症；

有人才貌雙全、能幹多財，情字路上卻是坎坷難行；

有人家財萬貫，卻是子孫不孝；

有人看似好命，卻是一輩子腦袋空空。

每個人的生命，都被上蒼劃上了一道缺口，你不想要它，它卻如影隨形。以前我也痛恨我人生中的缺失，但現在我卻能寬心接受，因為我體認到生命中的缺口，彷若我們背上的一根刺，時時提醒我們謙卑，要懂得憐恤。

若沒有苦難，我們會驕傲，沒有滄桑，我們不會以同理心去安慰不幸的人。我也相信，人生不要太圓滿，有個缺口讓福氣流向別人是很美的一件事，你不需擁有全部的東西，若你樣樣俱全，別人吃什麼呢？

也體認到每個生命都有欠缺，我也不會再去與人作無謂的比較了，反而更能珍惜自己所擁有的一切。

猶記得我那可稱為台灣阿信的企業家姑媽，在年近七旬時遁入空門前告訴我：

「這輩子所結交的達官顯貴不知凡幾，他們的外表實在都令人豔羨，但深究其裡，每個人都有一本很難唸的經，甚至苦不堪言。」

所以，不要再去羨慕別人如何如何，好好數算上天給你的恩典，你會發現你所擁有的絕對比沒有的要多出許多，而缺失的那一部分，雖不可愛，卻也是你生命的一部分，接受它且善待它，你的人生會快樂豁達許多。

如果你是一個蚌，你願意受盡一生痛苦而凝結一粒珍珠還是不要珍珠寧願舒舒服服的活著？！

如果你是一隻老鼠，你突然發覺你已被關進捕鼠籠而你前面有一塊香噴噴的蛋糕，這時，你究竟是吃還是不吃呢？！

早期的撲滿都是陶器，一旦存滿了錢，就要被人敲碎如果有這麼一隻撲滿，一直沒有錢投進來，一直瓦全到今天，他就成了貴重的古董你願意做哪一種撲滿？！

你每想到一次就記下你的答案直到有一天你的答案不再變動那就是你成熟了！！

找一個懂妳的人也期許自己做一個人懂別人的人

聰明的人喜歡猜心　雖然每次都猜對了卻失去了自己的心

傻氣的人喜歡給心　雖然每次都被笑了卻得到了別人的心

魚說：你看不見我的淚水　因為我在水中....

水說：我能感覺到妳的淚　只因妳在我的心中...

为什么有的人练功后出现头部不适? (赵金香宗师)

2011-05-17T22:59:00.001+08:00

练功后，有人住现头部的轻微不适，原因多来自以下方面，应针对具体情况加以解决：

（1）练功时，意念运用得不准确。如引阳气上冲过多，就会头沉。如属于这种情况，做三至五次双回气，将阳气导引至下丹田，不适感就会消失。

（2）有的人原来就有扁头痛，三叉神经痛等病，练功时气冲病灶，也会引起头痛，头沉或头紧等类似发病现象。这是病情好转的反应，一般一至两周即可消失。如果长期不愈，可能有其他原因，如七情六淫的干扰等，应到医院检查，采取相应的措施，及时处理。

（3）练功通小周天时，真气运行到颈部，在玉枕关打通之前，会感到有一条带子箍在头的上部，头顶发麻，发痒，发胀，如蚁爬。这是练功的必经过程，不属病态，更不是出偏。玉枕关通开，这种现象就会自然消失。练功到了这个阶段，应当用意念将任脉之气引入下丹田，再将丹田气用意念引到会阴穴处，沿督脉上升，经命门，大椎，天目，鼻椎，舌（舌抵上腭）引入任脉，小周天就会迅速打通，不适感也会很快消失。但不到这个阶段，切不可追求，以水到渠成为妙。

生命真的可以善終嗎 [轉載]

2011-05-08T11:10:00.002+08:00

生命的善終 _ 天下雜誌 (林倖妃)

外科加護病房主任柯文哲說，科技發展到今天，醫生最大的問題不是病人如何活下去，而是如何死掉。

老師都教我們以救人為天職，但沒教我們遇到不能救的病人怎麼辦？」用盡武器救人的醫生，現在最大的問題不是如何讓病人活下去，而是助人善終。作為醫生，面對生死，心中會有更多掙扎嗎？

晚上八點，台大醫院燈火輝煌。草草吃著麵包當晚餐，外科加護病房主任柯文哲說，科技發展到今天，醫生最大的問題不是病人如何活下去，而是如何死掉。

因為心臟不好可以裝循環輔助器，肺臟不好可以裝呼吸器，肝臟不好可以血漿置換，或是輸入冷凍性新鮮血漿，骨髓不好輸血，� K疫不好打抗生素，即使是垂死的病人也可以撐很久，「死不了」。問題是，「死亡是什麼？怎樣才算活著」？連醫生都無法回答這個問題。

一個八十二歲的老公公罹患心臟病，花一百六十萬元裝置人工心臟，但因機器太大台，他到哪裡都必須拖著救命的「心臟」，問醫生有沒有解決的辦法� H醫生告訴他要再花三百五十萬元換台體積較小的機器。老先生不願意，最後因為要拖著龐然大物才能行動，得了重度憂鬱症躺在床上，七個月後中風死了。這是病人的選擇。

科技讓人不得好死？

在人稱「葉醫師」的葉克膜出現後，讓醫師陷入更沉重的生死抉擇。隨著醫學科技的發展，即使沒有心臟，裝上葉克膜也可以暫時維持生命，台大醫院最高存活紀錄是一一七天。只不過，並不是人人都可以走出醫院，更多的是在「葉醫師」加持下，看著自己的腳從下面一直黑上來，清醒地看著自己慢慢死掉。

一位知名企業家的太太就裝著葉克膜直到全身變黑，過世前嚴重浮腫變形，「高科技反而讓人不得好死，」柯文哲感嘆說。住在加護病房的病人在過世前平均多三公斤，因為不斷用各種儀器和藥物，導致身體浮腫，只為維持一口氣在。

醫生不願面對死亡，無法開口告訴家屬實情，只能用盡手中所有「武器」。

死亡是必須要面對的問題，特別是在加護病房。「但今天的困境已經不是病人怎麼活下去，而是怎麼善終，讓病人在往生前少受點折磨，」柯文哲反省。

「我們叫醫生，不會醫死人，老師都教我們以救人為天職，但沒教我們遇到不能救的病人怎麼辦？是誰不能接受病人死亡的事實，病人家屬或醫生？結果結論是醫生。」說話直接不拐彎的柯文哲指著電腦螢幕前一張張震撼人心的投影片說。這是他最近幾年最常思考的問題：醫生還是醫死？什麼時候該關掉葉克膜，讓病人走？

高雄醫學大學醫! 學系主任、同時也是神經外科主治醫師林志隆感慨地說，他的老師五十多歲時因為心臟癌症開刀後，同樣身為醫師的老師自知存活機會不大，強烈表達意願，萬一時，要放棄急救，保持最後的尊嚴離開。但事情發生時師公（老師的老師）堅持插管，強行救回老師，「我怎麼可能讓我的學生走？」師公的話語中滿是悲哀，一輩子當醫生的他，不願意面對學生的死亡。

滿屋子的醫生在此時都沉默了，「如果是我，請不要救我，」林志隆事後對學生說。作為一個醫生，「除非病患表達意願，否則只能做到將心比心，不要讓家屬有遺憾，可以坦然面對死亡的過程。」在他心中，醫生可以做的，頂多只是向上帝借時間，無法作出生或死的抉擇。台灣醫學院目前最需要的，就是這門生死學教育課。

以下是一個真實故事

當年，醫生宣判我只有六個月的生命，如今，我認為自己「多賺了30多年」。

因為運動可使身體內在環境的細胞，藉促進血液循環，以帶動氧氣和營養，反過來，又使細胞增加活力。因此，人體的免疫力，便能增加。

病後，我開始做的運動是爬山。

我說的爬山，並不真是去做爬上高山的運動，只不過是在那些有產業道路的小山走走而已。

現在，體力增加了，走 20公里路，已是家常便飯，甚至還有過一天走 40公里的紀錄。

幾年前，還在經過兩年的準備之後，登上玉山，來作為對我的體能的考驗，結果，我很歡喜我的成績，我通過了。

兩年前，我改變了工作環境，每天早上先去爬山，在山上吸它兩個鐘頭的芬多精，回家洗個澡才去上班，現在看到我的人，都說我比以前健康，我則會加上一句：「天天爬山，明年會更好。」

你的細胞看起來很累，趕快去爬山補充氧氣，癌細胞會回歸正常。

在實驗室養癌細胞，如果加氧，癌細胞就養不好，如果加二氧化碳，癌細胞就養得很好。

表示，我們自己把體內環境弄到缺氧，細胞才無可奈何變成癌細胞來適應環境，如果把環境裡的缺氧因素刪掉，補充氧份，其實癌細胞是! 會回歸正常的。

30年來，我看過無數病人，那些肯聽我話而去爬山，甚至天天爬山的人，身體的改善都很明顯。

現在，每當我透過顯微鏡看到病人或友人的細胞顯出缺氧的狀況時，我都會提醒對方：「你的細胞缺氧，看起來很累，趕快去爬山。」

笑、不生氣、正面看、放鬆四招多活三十年

除了生理因素之外，要克服病魔，還必須從心理層面下手，像笑、不生氣及以正面態度看待一切事情，還有學習放鬆，即是我這麼多年來能夠降服疾病的一大原因。
學習笑 ---是一項很特別的功課。

因為我知道，笑的時候，尤其是大笑的時候，身體內的細胞是放鬆的。細胞只有在完全放! 鬆的時候，才能圓圓潤潤，充滿活力，足以應付外侮。
生氣是別人做錯事我懲罰自己

別人在挑釁，馬上逃到看不到挑釁的地方，再慢慢調整自己的情緒；然後，我漸漸不需要逃離現場也能壓住脾氣，可是還需要在心裡說：「你好可憐。」來平衡自己的情緒；現在，我什麼都看到，卻可以一直保持笑容。

改變飲食習慣？
開始運動？
學笑呢？

再說，從今天開始，你的生活會一天天地變好、一天天地有品質善用「多賺30年的法寶」

如果凡事從正面思考，事事會變得非常美好；反之，凡事都從負面思考，事事都變得相! 當糟糕。

就像我先生，為了我好，毅然決然地把家裡的電話線拔掉，以免我下了班後，還要接聽一大堆電話，雖然這似乎對我有些不方便，但是，從另一個角度來看，能夠安安靜靜地利用下班時間做瑜伽、運動、打太極拳，對身體不是反而有很大的幫助嗎？

再說，真有什麼重要的事，隔天打到辦公室就可以了，何須罣礙在心？

放鬆看起來很容易，其實卻是最困難的，因為放鬆要從心做起。
心真的放鬆，身體的細胞才能放鬆。

而心要放鬆，必須放下很多現世間的價值觀，包括名、利、情……等。

我的方法是---久已不用的東西，馬上送走、放開，衣服物品也是，甚至延伸至人際關係，於是人變得活得很簡單、很樸素，人就輕鬆了。

當年，醫生宣判我只有六個月的生命，如今，我認為自己「多賺了30多年」。

為何如此？�滿B不生氣及正面看事情、學放鬆應該是重要的法寶！
改得越多好得越快

這些年來，我不但看了不少癌症病人，更與其中一部份病人變成朋友，共同奮鬥，分享彼此的經驗，互相鼓勵，努力活下去。

我們發覺，活得超長及活得越有聲有色的人，往往都是勇於自省，及堅持修正自己的生活方式的人。

「改得越多，改得越徹底，好得越快。」已經成了我們的原則。

運動的好處是使身體的循環順暢，促使身體代謝加快，把養分及氧氣帶到該去的地方，對生病的細胞，尤為重要。

如果選擇一、兩種自己喜愛或適合的運動，持之以恆地做下去，總有一天，成績會自然顯露出來。
心理的調適，極為重要。

! 要知道，自己身體裡的細胞，到底是聽自己的，還是聽別人的呢？

练功中为何有时会胸部憋闷?应如何处理? (赵金香宗师)

2011-05-05T07:50:00.002+08:00

产生胸闷、胸憋的现象，大致有四种原因：

(1) 练功中由于气冲病灶而感到胸闷、胸憋。胸部(包括该部脏器)原来有病，或受过伤，其所属经络不通，练功时真气被调动起来，冲击病灶，就会产生类似原来症状的反应。有这种反应是好事，说明真气调动起来了，不通的经络将被疏通。过了这一关，反应就会消失。

(2) 练功时精神紧张，形体没有放松，动作或意念不正确而造成胸部不适。正确的姿势可以疏通经络，错误的姿势可能使真气受阻；正确的意念可以治疗疾病，错误的意念可能使人得病。所以，练功时要正确运用意念，一定要严格按照功法?功理的要求去做，并充分做好练功前的准备。只有在具备练功条件的情况下练功，精神才能放松。只有松心(精神放松)，才能松身，才能做到松静自然。如果达到上述要求，仍不能改变胸闷、胸憋的情况，就需要找辅导老师认真查功，仔细纠正动作和意念。动作和意念正确了，不适感就会自然消失。

(3) 练功者平时心胸狭窄，性情急躁，遇事爱生气，练功过程中又受七情干扰，使体内气机紊乱，造成胸部憋闷。为了避免这种情况的发生，必须加强道德涵养，做到处事客观，以乐排忧，保持性情温和、情绪安定。如果已经因受七情干扰造成胸部憋闷，则应用“疏肝法”排掉肝气。
(4) 滥用调息法造成胸部憋闷。本功法自始至终强调自然呼吸。有人滥用其它功法的调息法，呼吸不自然，形体不放松，将气滞在胸中，就会产生胸憋、胸闷。按照本功法的调息方法，随着练功的深化，会自然出现站桩功部分所介绍过的九种呼吸方式。滥用调息法会带来不良后果，随意改动本功法就会出偏。对由于调息不当产生的胸部不适，可采用“点穴降浊法”加以解决。连续重复数次，直至头不晕，胸不闷，感到舒适即可收功。如当时不能生效，可次日再练。此法不可多做，在胸闷症状消失后即应停止，以免伤正气。

What’s So Special About Carrot Juice?

2011-05-03T09:52:00.000+08:00

by Rev. George Malkmus

Thirty-five years ago, when I was told I had colon cancer, Evangelist Lester Roloff encouraged me to eliminate all animal foods (both flesh and dairy) from my diet, along with refined sugar and refined grains. He went on to encourage me to consume lots of carrot juice if I wanted to restore my health. Not understanding all the reasons why, I took his advice.

Within days of making these dietary changes my rectal bleeding had stopped. Within less than a year the tumor in my colon had disappeared – all without any help from a doctor or the use of any chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.

After this experience I rationalized that if carrot juice could help my body recover from colon cancer, it might be good to continue consuming it order to help me remain well. And I have done just that.

Today, 35 years after eliminating some health-destroying things and adding carrot juice to my diet, I find myself just three years short of my 80th birthday still alive and well with an extremely youthful body.

Now I’m not saying that it was the carrot juice all by itself that has allowed me to enjoy such excellent health, but I do believe with all my heart it has been a huge factor.

What’s In Carrot Juice That Makes It So Special

Carrot juice not only tastes good (if the carrots are grown in California – more on that later), it has a vast array of nutrients and health benefits. It’s also easily absorbed and highly cleansing.

Carrots contain approximately 16% sugar. Some think this is negative because it results in a glycemic index of 80. However, research here at Hallelujah Acres reveals that it has less spiking affect on the blood than a baked potato or two slices of whole wheat toast.

Carrots are one of the most healing foods, providing the finest and highest quality nutrients, especially in juice form. Carrots are an excellent source of pro-vitamin A in the form of carotene, along with vitamins C, D, E, K, B1 and B6.

Carrots are rich in biotin, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, organic sodium, plus lots of trace minerals. Carrots are also high in anti-oxidants and are loaded with enzymes.

Phytonutrients are nature’s marvelous provision in healing various diseases. Carrots are also rich in phytonutrients, including lutein, lycopene, antioxidants, alpha, beta, and gamma carotenes, zeaxanthin, and xanthophylls.

Carrots Effect on Common Health Problems

Acidosis
The alkalizing elements in carrot juice help balance the blood’s acidityas well as blood sugar levels.

The Standard American Diet consists of highly acidic animal protein, refined sugar and grains. Conversely, The Hallelujah Diet contains lots of alkalizing plant sourced foods (carrot juice being one of the most alkalizing). When people stop consuming the Standard American Diet and start consuming The Hallelujah Diet, they are usually able to stop taking their over-the-counter and doctor prescribed antacids in a short period of time.

Anemia
The molecules in carrots are very similar to the molecules in human hemoglobin, making it a tremendous blood builder.

Atherosclerosis
This miraculous cleansing power of juices helps scrub away built-up fat deposits on arterial walls, reducing risk of heart attack and stroke, while often eliminating need for medications due to high blood pressure.

Cancer
The daily consumption of fresh carrot juice not only reduces cancer risk, but also contributes in its reversal after the cancer has manifested.

At the Gerson Institute in Tijuana, Mexico, they have helped patients empower their immune systems to reverse cancer (even terminal cancer). Patients receive eight glasses of freshly extracted carrot juice daily and four glasses of green juices along with other healing modalities.

Cholesterol
The pectin in carrot juice helps lower serum levels of LDL cholesterol, reducing the need for cholesterol lowering medications.

Congestion
The juice of carrots is extremely effective in dispelling mucus from the ears, nose and throat, while improving sinusitis, asthma, and allergy problems.

Eyes
The beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, and zeaxanthin found in carrot juice are some of the most powerful nutrients for the optic system. In addition to helping to improving eyesight, these nutrients also provide special protection against astigmatism, macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma.

After consuming carrot juice on a daily basis since the 1970s, I was able to pass my North Carolina drivers eye test without glasses at the age of 75. This ended a restriction on my driver’s license for corrective lenses after over 50 years.

Infertility
One of the primary reasons for infertility is a lack of nutrients and enzymes in the diet. Regular use of carrot juice can help provide nutrients that benefit the reproduction system.

In fact, dozens of women who could not conceive prior to adopting The Hallelujah Diet have been able to conceive after changing their diet.

Inflammation
Carrot juice has anti-inflammatory properties that greatly reduce the symptoms of arthritis, rheumatism, gout, and other inflammations.

Immune System
Most people who consume the Standard American Diet (SAD) have immune systems that are not sufficiently protective against germs, viruses, and bacteria. Carrot juice is a powerful immune system builder. It helps the body build resistance to germs, viruses, bacteria, and infections.

Nursing Mothers
Carrot juice enhances the quality and quantity of mother’s breast milk, helping the baby to grow strong and resistant to disease.

Skin Problems
The incredibly high quality nutrients in carrot juice nourish the skin. This helps prevent dry skin, psoriasis, and other skin problems. It also helps improve or eliminate these conditions if they already exist.

Water Retention
Carrot juice is a diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess fluids, reducing water retention, and thus reducing the need for medications. Carrot juice is especially helpful for women during their monthly menstrual cycle and during pregnancy.

The above is only a short and partial list of the benefits one can derive from the regular consumption of carrot juice. There are numerous more benefits, but we could go on for days.

Eating Carrots vs. Juicing Carrots

In short, you simply cannot get the same benefits of carrot juice by eating carrots.

According to Dr. Kirschner (M.D.) in his book Live Food Juices, eating a carrot forces your digestive system to separate the carrot fiber from the carrot juice. This uses a lot of energy and destroys over 65% of the nutrients in the process.

Dr. Kirschner goes on to say that juicing carrots before consuming them is a different story. The juicing machine removes the pulp for you, eliminating much of the digestive process. As a result, 92% of the nutrients are available at cellular level for almost immediate use.

It takes approximately one pound of carrots to produce eight ounces of carrot juice. Few people could eat a pound of carrots even if the nutrient intake was the same. Consuming eight ounces of carrot juice is much easier.

It Matters Where Your Carrots Come From

Carrots that contain the highest level of nutrients produce the sweetest juice. That is why we personally use and recommend California-grown carrots. The Hallelujah Acres Store carries the Bunny Luv (Grimmway Farms) brand of organic carrots.

Ancient volcanic activity in the California region accounts for a large amount of trace minerals in the soil. Trace minerals produce a sweeter carrot. For the same reason, California-grown fruits are sweeter, as are fruits grown in Oregon and Washington state.

The Best Juicers For Carrots

I do not recommend a centrifugal juicer for juicing any vegetable. This kind of juicer has a basket that spins at a very fast speed (up to 3,000 RPM) which flings the juice through the air, causing oxidation. Centrifugal juicers are more affordable than other juicers and are better than nothing. However, they are not advisable for a person dealing with a serious illness.

Champion Juicer
This is a workhorse of a juicer that has been around for a very long time. It does an excellent job of juicing carrots but not as good a job juicing leafy greens.

Green Star Juicer
This juicer does an excellent job juicing carrots as well as leafy greens. The brand new Green Star Elite is an exceptional machine and probably the best juicer on the market today except for the $2,000 Norwalk Press.

Hurom Juicer
This is an excellent juicer for the person who has very little room on their countertop. It has a small footprint in comparison to the juicers mentioned above. It is also easier to use for the person without a lot of arm strength, but not recommended for large amounts of juicing.

Why Factory-made Carrot Juice Is Not Worth Your Money

I believe factory-made carrot juice, commercially available in a can, bottle or other container, is basically worthless. These juices have either been cooked or pasteurized, which destroys the enzymes. They are dead food.

Occasionally you will find health food stores that offer freshly extracted, non-pasteurized carrot juice. This juice will usually keep a day or two in the refrigerator.

How To Store Carrot Juice

All of the living nutrients in freshly extracted carrot juice can be preserved for 24 to 72 hours if certain steps are taken. First, use any of the above juicers, strain, and place in 8 oz canning jars all the way to the top. Cover the jars with a tight fitting lid, locking out as much air as possible. Then place in a refrigerator or ice chest (if traveling).

Start Juicing Today!

Juicing is one of the best ways to nourish your body and to provide it the building materials it needs to build healthy cells and a strong immune system. It is not always convenient and it takes some time — but I guarantee it is well worth it!

Here’s To Your Health

God has given us but one body for this lifetime here on Earth. It behooves each of us to take good care of our body so that we can experience the ultimate health God designed for each one of us. It will ensure a body fit for the Master’s use.

为什么有的人练功后出现睡不着的现象? (赵金香宗师)

2011-05-01T19:56:00.000+08:00

睡不着觉可能有多种原因，如果因为练功后真气充足，精力充沛而不思睡，并无其他不适，就不是偏差，也不能算是失眠，而因看作是好事。可以把练功时间放在早晨，早晨练完功保持整日精力充沛，晚上不练功，不会产生兴奋，就可以入睡。

Yale Professor Chan CM, in his lecture at Beida Univ about poisonous eels being sold in China and how widely the local eel farms are using hormones which remain in the human body sometimes for 7-8 yrs.

Prof Chan went on to say that an Environmental Scientist whom he met at Suzhow meeting told him "my relative who owns a bean sprouts farm said that because of the use of hormones, the sprouts normally take 5 days to be ready for sale is now ready in 1 day. Truckloads are sold to Canton and no one in his village will eat the stuff they farmed. "

據媒體報導，耶魯大學經濟學教授陳志武去年在北大演講時，談到毒黃鱔問題。

他說，當年七月，他到蘇州參加會議用餐時，一位科學院環境研究所知名學者對他說：“你們知道如今的黃鱔為什麼長得這麼快嗎？就是因為飼養者用了激素，人吃了黃鱔，這些激素在人體內七、八年還要發揮作用。”陳志武說，聽到這話之後，嚇得那些與會學者們沒人再敢吃黃鱔了。
陳志武還說，“ 我有一個親戚是賣豆芽的，他對我說：這些豆芽不能吃，用了激素，本來要五天才能長大的豆芽只要一天就長好了。本村人知道這些，都不去買這種豆芽，都是賣給廣州，一卡車一卡車，一夜之間就到了廣州的菜市場。”

Hairy Crabs : Mostly from Jiangsu .. Each year, the crabs became more affordable due to large harvest. They are bred using all kinds of toxins : hormones, antibiotics. From the baby crabs stage, the crabs are fed around 10 types of chemicals. In Fujian , they are worse, they will feed the female crabs with birthcontrol hormones so that the mother crab will be plumb and ready.

不僅黃鱔、豆芽，還有廣東、香港人最愛吃的大閘蟹，也是用激素餵養的。江蘇是中國盛產大閘蟹之地，有600多個蟹場。

香港廣東的大閘蟹，多是從江蘇運來的。香港《壹週刊》去年十月報導說，“香港人喜歡吃大閘蟹，蟹價越來越便宜，幾乎成為市民家常便菜。大閘蟹賣得愈便宜，市民吃得愈凶。”大閘蟹怎麼越賣越便宜，是大豐收嗎？

該刊記者專程到江蘇蟹場採訪，結果發現，那些大閘蟹都是用激素快速養成的。湖裏的大閘蟹一般至少兩年才能長到二兩以上，但江蘇養殖場的大閘蟹，使用激素之後，都是一年蟹，當年下苗，當年養成上市。《壹週刊》的記者把從江蘇蟹場買回來的螃蟹送到香港“標準及檢定中心”化驗發現，蟹肉裏不僅有激素，還有多種對人體有害的抗菌素。

江蘇使用“高科技”養蟹聞名的“大發水產養殖場”徐場長對香港記者說，“ 從蟹苗到上市，至少要十種藥，例如：氯黴素、土黴素、乙醇、痢特靈、諾氟沙星、恩諾沙星、病毒靈、多西黴素、己烯雌酚等等。”他還謙虛地說，他們比較守本份，福建人更毒，在蟹產卵時喂避孕藥，這樣母蟹不會變瘦，蟹苗更容易長大。說著，這位蟹場負責人撈出兩隻大蟹對記者說：“你看看，多凶，不吃藥哪有這麼凶！”當記者問這麼做不是害人嗎？這位場長直率地說，“現在的魚類、家禽類，哪一樣不是藥物長大的！”你不這樣做，別人做，你還能做生意嗎？

24 hours after they are fetched, the crabs arrive HK dinner table, but not before they were fed one last time with antibiotics so that they will stay healthy enroute.

If you walk along the small streets in the Crab Farms, you will see many shops selling "Medicine for Crabs"; there are at least 10 different kinds on their "menu".

香港記者在江蘇蟹場看到，“工人將藥物攙入飼料，站在船上撒飼料，有如天女散花。”江蘇的大閘蟹，多數外銷香港、廣東，而且使用飛機運，當晚撈蟹，次日上午就運到香港、深圳，下午就上市，晚上香港人就吃到嘴了。那位徐場長透露，為了防止運輸途中大閘蟹死亡，他們在捕蟹前再喂一次抗菌素。而24小時後，那些抗菌素就經蟹肉到了港人肚子裏。香港記者說，在“大發養殖場”附近路上，隨處可見“蟹藥店”。他們進去一家，賣藥人一下子拿出十多包不同種類的藥物，並告訴記者用法：土黴素每百斤飼料攙 500顆、痢特靈每百斤飼料攙8兩、乙醇每百斤飼料攙9兩……

Next Magazine Investigative Journalists took 12 Hairy Crabs for lab test. 11 of them have 土黴素. 6 have 氯黴素 All damaging to blood, and esp bad for pregnant women and foetuses.

《壹週刊》記者把從港九、新界、深圳、江蘇四個地方買回的12只大閘蟹，送去化驗，結果發現11個樣本有土黴素，6個樣本有氯黴素。土黴素屬“過時”抗菌素，因副作用太多，很少使用；而氯黴素屬香港違禁物質，因會壓抑骨髓功能，影響人體產生血球和血小板，導致貧血、抵抗力下降和凝血困難問題。孕婦吃了含有土黴素的毒蟹，胎兒的骨質會變灰、變脆。

香港記者在江蘇瞭解到，蟹場附近的女性，很多因吃了帶毒的大閘蟹而有流產症。在“大發蟹場”附近住的周紅梅說，“我生在水邊，吃水產長大，懷上三個孩子都流產了。後來醫生禁止我吃螃蟹，說裏面的藥物會對我不利，我照做了，才有了這個小寶寶。”

If they tell you their crabs are fed by organically (versus Chemically Fed), that means they are fed by decomposing carcases of dead cats, dogs, chicken. The dogs died from first being poisoned, or from diseases. The owner of the crab farm pulled from under a bed a dead carcass, deskin and dehaired it, waving a piece of the leg proudly pronouncing it as "organic feed" These dogs came from a private vendor that kills the dogs by poisonous gases. The dog died from chemical poisoning.

The investigative journalists from HK witnessed such display of "organic feeding" when the farmer tossed the dog carcass into the pond. They watched 2 crabs feeding on the decaying carcass.

除了使用激素、抗菌素，江蘇的蟹場還使用死貓、死狗、死家禽等餵養大閘蟹。江蘇“新群蟹場” 被稱為“李叔”的負責人的床下就放著兩隻未剝皮的死狗，還有一堆死雞鴨。他說，“一星期放一次，蟹特別喜歡吃爛肉！”香港記者看到蟹塘中浮著一隻剝了皮的死狗，兩隻大閘蟹爬在狗上進食。水面的狗血紅中帶紫，狗頭呲牙咧嘴，樣子很恐怖。但那位“李叔”卻很輕鬆地從他的床下拖出一隻死狗，剝去皮毛，拎著狗腿對記者得意地說：“這是天然飼料，我的蟹營養豐富，從小吃肉，不像別人的蟹從小吃藥！”但這些狗都是走私團夥將路上的狗用劇毒氰化鉀毒死後，拿來出售的，本身就是毒狗。

The Fishery Dept of the govt showed that the most famous YC Lake for Hairy Crabs, at maximum can only produce 13,000 Class 1 Crabs. HK imported 130K crabs all claiming it's from YC Lake.

養蟹的人說，現在大閘蟹飼料有兩種：素和葷。吃素就是喂激素，以及土黴素、氯黴素，金黴素等抗菌素；吃葷就是往蟹塘裏扔死狗、死豬、死雞、死老鼠、死魚、死蝦，這叫 “天然飼料”。江蘇陽澄湖出產的大閘蟹最出名，但據水產部門統計，陽澄湖的一級大閘蟹，每年只產一萬三千隻。但去年香港人吃了一千三百萬隻螃蟹（平均每人吃兩隻），可見大部份都是冒牌貨。江蘇淡水研究所工程師唐天德說，現在全中國除西藏外，都說出售正宗陽澄湖大閘蟹，但八成以上是雜種蟹；是毒蟹。

JiangSu natural water engineer Mr Tong, TK said the the whole of China claims that the hairy crabs they sell are from YC Lake. The only exception being those sold in Tibet , a desert :-P

Turtles, Snakes, all fed by chemicals, as well as birth control hormones.

廣東人、香港人還喜歡吃烏龜，認為大補。但養殖戶用避孕藥替烏龜增肥，本來五、六年才長大的烏龜，現在一兩年就能上市。香港人和廣東人還喜歡吃蛇，但據深圳《晶報》報導，蛇場為了使蛇在短期內份量加重，也喂避孕藥。深圳、香港市面出售的蛇，體形肥肥大大的都是食藥蛇。

據廣州《南方週末》報導，中國每年生產700 噸諾酮類（一種抗菌素），但其中有一半被蟹場、蛇場、烏龜場、黃鱔場等養殖業用掉；再加上其他種類的抗菌素，不知總數有多少噸，最後全部轉到了香港人、廣東人，以至各地中國人的肚子裏，不知慢性殺死了多少國人。誰知道這薩斯病是不是這些毒藥經毒動物再轉化到人體後產生的呢？專家們不是說這種病毒以前只在動物體內產生過嗎。

Toxin fed Crabs, snakes, eels, turtles, all fed for revenue, not forgetting fake milk powder, Fish from fish farms, bean sprouts, fake soya sauce, fake seaweeds, fake eggs ........ Color-enriched tomatoes, melon seeds, grapes...... all massive exploits to milk cash. Why is all that happening in China ?

First: Lack of govt control. To be fair, even if the govt wish to do it, they cannot keep up with the sudden market demand as consumers as the surging middle class have a lot more cash nowadays.
2nd : Greed.

3rd and most fundamental reason : This has led to the current problem of the maximization of profit at the cost of morality.

4th: The lack of Family Values (as kids growing up, the only family value bred them is how to make money). The daily mantra is "Study hard to ultimately get rich."

The adults feel that they have to make up for "lost" time when they were deprived under the Totalitarian regime when the govt kept what they harvested. While their bank accounts swell, they are morally bankrupt.

這些毒螃蟹、毒蛇、毒黃鱔、毒烏龜等，只是當今中國摻毒食品的巨大冰山一角。在中國人突然有了發財致富的機會、卻又處於一個無法無天的道德真空 (既無宗教信仰，傳統倫理也全部淪喪）狀態下，那種不顧一切賺錢的欲念，可以誘發出人性中最冷漠、最惡毒、最瘋狂的部份。像往番茄、葡萄等水果上撒藥、塗色以增加鮮亮等，都根本不足一提了。在這種情況下，中國的食品檢驗制度又遠遠不完善，同時人為的漏洞比大閘蟹還多。例如香港記者曾在江蘇蟹場問那位徐場長，“國家有沒有禁止或者化驗標準？”徐場長毫不忌諱地說，“笑話，你不瞭解國情吧！放藥多少上市測試也沒個准，他高興就放行，不高興，再乾淨也沒用！”

當年第一個吃螃蟹的人，被稱為最勇敢的人。但今天，敢吃中國大閘蟹的人，還是世界上最勇敢的人。

讓癌細胞睡著的食物

請大家多吃含有這些有效成份的食物，讓身體內蠢蠢欲動的癌細胞多多睡覺。下午參加了一場小型國際研討會，其中有一位目前在美國癌症中心的戴博士以 "Is Cancer Curable?" (癌症是否能治癒?)為題，分享了他對癌細胞生長動力學的研究結果。

癌症最令人害怕的就是 metastasis（轉移）。

原生癌並不會讓病人死亡，然而一旦癌細胞轉移，它們在其它組織器官內的興風作浪就讓病人逐漸（或是很快速）的走向死亡。但是，為什麼有些癌細胞已轉移的病人卻未繼續惡化?

日本曾解剖研究了幾十位無病痛往生的 90-103歲老人，發現他們每一位體內都有不少的癌細胞。

但是，為什麼他們的癌細胞沒有造成身體的病痛?戴博士和幾位癌症研究學者發現，癌細胞在活躍一段時間後會進入「休眠期」，休眠一段時間後又再度活躍，興風作浪。

「休眠期」越長，病人能存活的時間就越長，甚至不發生令人害怕的「轉移」。

現在醫學界積極的在研究拖延癌細胞「休眠期」的方法，包括利用藥物和飲食。「有效預防細胞癌化」那篇中提到的幾種天然物，可藉由控制癌細胞內訊息傳導 ( signal transduction ) 的路徑進入「休眠期」，所以我把它們再次列，請大家多吃含有這些有效成份的食物，讓身體內蠢蠢欲動的癌細胞多多睡覺。

多吃含有這些有效成份的食物，讓身體內蠢蠢欲動的癌細胞多多睡覺。

珍貴又真實的資料去年才公布的

癌症在幾十年前早就有解了，只是真相一直被隱瞞，直到網際網路的發展，這個的解答才漸漸流傳開來。

如果你有癌症，最重要的就是要在短期內儘可能攝取到最大量的 B17。

"在七百億美元的化療工業的今天，依靠癌症討生活的人數比死於癌症的人還多。許多醫生個人對癌症的觀點，與大眾所認知的資訊，有如天壤地別」「如果他們自己得了癌症，他們不會做化療！即使癌細胞對化療有反應，但是腫瘤局部或完全的縮小，並不會延長病人的存活率。有時候癌症復發反而更加肆虐，因為化療助長抗療癌細胞的生成。"

畢爾德及克雷布斯父子發現，身體內有許多細胞還處於原生胚胎期的階段，這些細胞是用來修復組織的，依照特別的形態遺傳刺激，它們可以分化為身體的任何組織、器官、血液、或頭髮。

當我們的身體受到損害，動情激素便會刺激這些細胞來修復受傷的地方，修復好了則由胰腺酵素來關掉修復工程。如果沒有關掉這個修復動作，這些細胞就會因不斷地漫無法紀的分裂修復而形成腫瘤或癌症。

換言之，癌症是身體自己產生的，而非外來物，而且它可以名正言順的以修復工程的名義來逃避免疫系統的監視。

又工業國家的污染所產生的幾萬種人造、有害的化學物質，會造成身體的損傷，所損傷的部位創造了修復條件，若此處一直不斷地受到傷害，一直不斷地修補，要是胰腺酵素不足以關掉該項修補，就決定腫瘤產生的部位。這時飲食中如有足夠的VitB17，它就能提供身體的第二道防線。

代謝療法也可以治療動物的癌症，野生動物很少得癌症，現代人飼養的動物，因為飲食缺乏足夠的VitB17，所以容易罹癌。常見貓狗生病時，他們都到外面去吃草，這是動物的本能，我們人類的本能呢？

杏仁的用法

克雷布斯Dr. Krebs博士建議成人每日10粒來預防癌症，每日30-50粒為癌症病人的營養補充品。少數癌症病人吃了杏仁會有噁心反應，診療中心建議減少食用量，讓身體適應後再漸漸增加份量。並非所有的杏仁都有效，必須是帶點苦味，才表示確實含有VitB17，例如中藥中的北杏即含有B17。

其他含豐富VitB17的有：

桃子種仁、蘋果種籽、美國棗子種仁、李子種仁、櫻桃種仁、及油桃種仁。

其他含有B17的食物還包括：

小米millet、蕎麥buckwheat、夏威夷豆macadamia nuts、竹筍、綠豆、利馬豆、青豆、某些品種的豌豆等等。

如果無法買到酵素，可由我們日常的食物中攝取。

食物中含有胰島酵素的有木瓜及鳳梨。癌症病人最好每天食用木瓜及半個鳳梨。化學合成的維生素C可能有問題，所以最好從食物中攝取，或購買天然植物提煉的維生素C

醫師要求他的病人吃素及改變飲食習慣，不准吃肉，

他認為病人已經缺乏胰臟酵素，不能再吃肉來消耗更多的胰臟酵素，缺乏胰島酵素，癌症細胞就可以躲過免疫系統的監視。

如果他的病人偷偷吃肉、或回家後繼續原來不正常的飲食習慣，癌症就會復發，病人又回來找他。如果來得及，他再使用VitB17及代謝療法治療病人，病情又好轉回家，通常病人這時真的學乖了，不敢再吃動物製品，

古老的中國、希臘、羅馬和阿拉伯醫生用苦杏仁酐治腫瘤，中醫傳統上用苦杏仁的劑量是3-9公克沖泡，因苦杏仁有毒性，過量可中毒致死。最方便的來源則是水果的種仁。

癌症為慢性代謝疾病是無庸置疑的。它不是由病毒或細菌所引發的傳染病，而是源於代謝問題，和身體的食物利用有關。

大多數的代謝病主要基於食物中缺乏某種特定的維生素及礦物質。由於飲食中缺乏這種抗癌變的 VitB17，我們的社會每三個家庭就有一個人得癌症。而實際上的發生率可能更高，原因是等到癌症能被測出來，該病人其實罹癌已經很久了；也有很多病人身上早有癌症，但是在它長到被測出來之前，病人死於意外或其他因素。慢性及代謝病，永遠無法從身體之生物經驗以外的藥物來控制、預防或治療。

世界上沒有一種藥物或化學劑可以讓我們更健康、有適應力、更有智慧或更長壽。自然界沒有這樣的藥物或分子，除非那個分子在正常的食物中就已存在。

當我們吃得少，頭腦就會清楚一些；反之，飽食終日後，人就開始胡思亂想，造成生理、心理及靈性的困擾。野生熊也不得癌症，然而在聖地牙哥動物園內的熊，每十隻就有七隻得癌症。因為野生熊是雜食動物，牠們吃很多野莓子，而幾乎所有的野生水果都含 B17。我們的食物已經遠離自然了，我們吃的水果是多年的改良品種，已缺乏VitB17 了。

美國防癌協會的統計資料顯示，癌症為美國人的頭號殺手(也是台灣民眾的第一死因)；每三人就有一人會得到癌症；若持續發展下去，到下個世紀，癌症的致病率是100%。

为什么有的人练功后有失眠尿频现象? 失眠尿频更严重应该怎样解决？(赵金香宗师)

2011-04-22T21:02:00.002+08:00

一般地讲，有失眠症的人，大多数都有尿频症，二者的病理是密切相关的。尤其夜间频尿病，是心肾不交，水火不济，心阳扰动于上，克于肺金，使肺变燥，而下焦元气变寒，失去阴阳平衡的功能，所以使人难以入睡。肾阴拒阳于下，肾与膀胱互为表里，寒水得不到气化，水货倒置，不得已而排水于外，所以尿频就更厉害了。这类情况应当以意守丹田，多作“双回气”补气为主，意守的部位可提到中丹田或下丹田靠上一点，就会逐渐好转。

13 Most Powerful Super Foods

2011-04-21T07:43:00.002+08:00

By Amy Paturel, MS, MPH

Why Are They So Super?
Ask five nutritionists to rate the 13 most powerful foods and you'll get five different lists, but many of the selections will overlap. Why? Because every food provides something different: Some are a rich source of protein or fiber but void of many vitamins and minerals, while others contain disease-fighting phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, but no protein. The trick, claim experts, is to get a variety of the best foods. The following 13 power foods are a good place to start.

Avocados

Sure they're high in fat, but avocados contain healthful monounsaturated fat, which has been linked to a reduced risk of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. "Avocados aid in blood and tissue regeneration, stabilize blood sugar, and are excellent for heart disorders," says Ed Bauman, Ph.D., director of Bauman College . They're loaded with fiber (11 to 17 grams per fruit) and are a good source of lutein, an antioxidant linked to eye and skin health.

Apples
"An apple a day really does keep the doctor away," says Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth. Apples are loaded with the powerful antioxidants quercetin and catechin, which protect cells from damage - that means a reduced risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease, especially if you eat the skin. Research shows that the apple peel contains five times more polyphenols than the flesh. Apples and their skins pack a lot of fiber too (about twice that of other common fruits, including peaches, grapes, and grapefruit), which may help fight the battle of the bulge.

Blueberries
Antiaging superstars, blueberries are loaded with antioxidants, especially anthocyanins, which have been shown to improve vision and brain function. Studies show that eating blueberries slows impairments in motor coordination and memory that accompany aging. These little berries also reduce inflammation, which is inextricably linked with virtually every chronic disease from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, to diabetes and heart disease. Other studies show that blueberries have much greater anticancer activity than other fruits.

Cabbage
In the vegetable world, the Brassica genus reigns supreme, and the cabbage is the most impressive of the lot. Brassica vegetables (including broccoli, bok choy) contain compounds called indoles, which have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer dramatically. "Eating cabbage more than once a week cut men's colon cancer odds by 66 percent," says Bauman. "Cabbage also stimulates the immune system, kills bacteria and viruses, and is a good blood purifier." If you go for the red variety, you'll also get a healthy dose of anthocyanins (the same pigment molecules that make blueberries blue), another powerful antioxidant with an anticancer punch.

Fish and Fish Oil
Eating fish helps cut the risk of heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer's, stroke, diabetes, and arthritis. The fatty varieties may also help alleviate depression. The American Heart Association recommends that adults eat at least two fish meals per week, especially wild salmon, herring, and sardines, because those varieties provide the most heart-healthy omega 3s. Avoid mercury-containing varieties like shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, and albacore tuna, says Roberta Anding, M.S., R.D., national spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. (Chunk light tuna is okay.)

Garlic
Research shows that garlic lowers total cholesterol and triglyceride (blood fat) levels, helping prevent clogged arteries. "Two to three cloves a day cut the odds of subsequent heart attacks in half for heart disease patients,"says Bauman. "Garlic also tops the National Cancer Institute's list of potential cancer-preventive foods." Whole baked garlic helps detoxify the body of heavy metals like mercury (from fish) and cadmium. Garlic also acts as an antibacterial and antiviral, boosting resistance to stress-induced colds and infections. Can't stand garlic breath? Chew on a sprig of parsley.

Mushrooms
Used for centuries in Eastern medicine, mushrooms have powerful effects on the immune system - especially the maitake, shiitake, and reishi varieties. "Mushrooms such as maitake help prevent and treat cancer, viral diseases, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure," says Bauman. In fact, mushrooms are used as an adjunctive cancer treatment throughout Asia because of their ability to counteract the toxic effects of chemotherapy and radiation while simultaneously shrinking tumors. What's more, Japanese researchers have found that regularly eating shiitake mushrooms lowers blood cholesterol levels up to 45 percent.

Almonds
Almonds are loaded with fiber and monounsaturated fat, both of which have been shown to lower cholesterol. According to the Food and Drug Administration, eating 1.5 ounces of most nuts, including almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. And even though almonds are relatively high in fat and calories, studies show that eating almonds can actually help with weight loss (their protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats provide the feeling of fullness, preventing overeating).

Eggs
The best protein source on the planet, eggs consistently outrank milk, beef, whey, and soy in the quality of protein they provide. In addition to containing all nine essential amino acids, eggs are loaded with nutrients. "And for God's sake, eat the yolks," says Bowden. People avoid the yolks because they fear cholesterol, but egg yolks contain choline, which helps protect heart and brain function and prevents cholesterol and fat from accumulating in the liver.

Flaxseeds
Loaded with alpha-linolenic acid, an essential fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation, flaxseed has been used for centuries for medicinal and health reasons. Gandhi himself proclaimed, "Wherever flaxseed becomes a regular food item among the people, there will be better health." Bauman adds, "The seed itself has terrific nutritional value, very usable protein, tremendous fatty acids, and minerals like magnesium, potassium, and zinc." Additionally, they're a great source of fiber.

Pomegranates
Pomegranates have up to three times the antioxidants of red wine and green tea - and the juice has been shown to reduce artery-clogging plaque, which in turn prevents heart disease and stroke. Research shows that long-term consumption of pomegranate juice may also help slow aging and protect against cancer.

Red Wine
A small amount of any kind of alcohol each day does your heart good by increasing HDL cholesterol and reducing the risk of blood clots. "Red wine also contains powerful antioxidants, reservatrol and saponins, which may provide additional cardiovascular benefits," says Anding. Resist a refill, however: More than one drink daily has been linked to high blood pressure.

Dark Chocolate
When it comes to chocolate, bitter is better - at least in terms of health. The benefits of chocolate come from flavonols and antioxidants (the same disease-fighting chemicals found in cranberries, apples, strawberries, and red wine). The caveat: Only real cacao contains flavonols, so look for chocolate that boasts a high percentage of cacao (60 percent or more). Dark chocolate also has fewer calories than other varieties, and when eaten in moderation, it lowers unhealthy LDL cholesterol and prevents plaque from building up in your arteries.

练功中受到惊吓怎么办? (赵金香宗师)

2011-04-19T08:48:00.004+08:00

练功中常见的受惊吓大致有以下两种情况：

(1)来自外界的惊吓。练功入静后，突然受到外界干扰(如场地选择不当，突然出现喧闹声响，或被其它意外事件所惊动)，很容易受到惊吓；有的夜间单独在野外练功，精神紧张，也容易受到惊吓。

(2)练功时出现各种幻觉。这本是练功中常见的现象，但有的人胆子小，或者缺少科学常识，有迷信思想，出现幻觉时就胡思乱想，造成自我惊恐。

中医理论认为：“惊则气乱”，“恐则气下”。受惊吓后，有人哭笑无常，有人语无伦次，有人手足颤抖，有人少气无力，有人疲劳嗜睡、昏昏沉沉，有人发烧心慌，也有人失眠多梦、精神恍惚。发生以上现象，不必惊慌，可按以下办法处理：

受惊后不要马上离开练功场地，应当就地镇静下来，集中精神，继续练功，感到舒适后做“引气归元法”。

有人受惊后忘记收功就离开了练功场。这时，身体周围的气没有收入丹田。遇到这种情况，如果离练功场地较近，应回原地收功，按受惊吓后第一种情况处理。如果离练功场地较远，或离开时间过久，可以采用“左四右三回阳法”。

伊利沙伯醫院臨床腫瘤科唐志聰醫生編寫-恢復四大功能，永遠離開癌症

2011-04-17T13:10:00.002+08:00

癌症的病人，只要脾、肝、大腸、腎，四個功能恢復，就能永遠離開癌症、糖尿病、心臟病、高血壓。癌症不是單一的，要考慮整體。

如果癌症只是一個腫瘤就好辦了，所以過去我們在醫學上犯了一個很大的錯誤，就是只看到這個腫瘤，然後就想，我怎麼把它殺掉，所以用手術把它割掉，用化療去毒它，用放射線去照它、燒它，反正用各種方法把它殺掉就好，然後藥越用越重，真的把它殺掉，癌細胞死了，人也死了。

脾一定要先恢復，每天三餐五穀雜糧一定要佔總飲食的50％，一定要養成這個習慣。雜糧就是紅豆、黃豆、綠豆、薏仁，這些都是雜糧類，蓮子也很好，有了這個概念之後，脾好肝就好，脾在造血，一天有兩個重要的時間，就是子時和午時，所以你該休息的時候一定要休息。

現在的人大部分都是肝不好，為什麼不好？

晚睡、吃油炸的東西、壞脾氣，這三個正是肝的三大剋星。油包肝，你吃油的東西，油把整個肝包住，肝的功能完全喪失了，所以我們不要吃得太油。當我們身體感覺不適的時候，疾病在糾正人的過失，用身體的痛苦管教他，有痛苦的時候，代表我們要改變。

每天早上，你上廁所感覺很困難，這個表示什麼？你身體纖維素攝取量完全不足，為什麼美國得大腸癌比例那麼高，中國大陸沿海地區得大腸癌的人那麼多。中國的內地平常研究發現，根本沒有腸癌，因為每天上廁所都很順，一坐下去，噗隆，噗隆噗隆！每條都像香蕉，好漂亮！而且排列整齊。

如果你上廁所有困難，這表示什麼？萬病之源，都是從你的大腸不能正常排泄開始。

你如果大腸很好的時候，你早上應該不是自己醒過來，而是被大腸的蠕動叫醒，大腸蠕動在叫你了，為什麼？因為5到7點就是大腸最活躍的時間，所以為什麼我們告訴癌症病人一定要9點睡，因為你的大腸早上6點到7點的時候自然就會蠕動，叫你起床，蹲馬桶了。

你一天要上幾次廁所才夠？

請記住：如果四、五天才上一次廁所，叫重度便秘；兩三天上一次廁所，這個叫中度便秘；一天上一次廁所，叫輕度便秘。怎樣才是最健康，最正常？就是每天吃幾頓飯就上幾次廁所，這個叫健康，而且每次坐下去，兩三分鐘就解決。食物進入體內12小時，沒有排出去，就會形成毒素。因為毒素沒有排出去，我們的大腸壁就會吸收這個毒素，吸收以後，透過靜脈又送回肝臟去，糟糕了！造成肝虧損，這個問題就很嚴重了。肝不好跟大腸有直接關聯，只要大腸一通順，肝好了，免疫系統也跟著恢復，而且送到心臟的血都是乾淨的，所以什麼病都不容易罹患。

當一個人感覺到每天很容易疲倦、很容易累，表示你的肝功能已經出現問題了，血已經沒有辦法回流到肝！你身體健康靠的是什麼？

睡眠的時間，脾去收集血液，送到肝臟去解毒，解毒以後，乾淨的血液送到心臟去，心臟再送到全身，就能獲得營養，就能獲得健康。

很不幸的是，現代很多人脾已經先出現問題，脾本身就不收集血液。只有一個辦法最養脾，五穀最養脾，可是現代身體為什麼都這麼差，身體這麼多病？因為都不吃五穀雜糧，吃漢堡、炸雞、牛排、薯條，又吃白米，所以你要吃上帝原始所創造的食物，一定要吃五穀雜糧，原始的雜糧，比如糙米。

【釋放壓力七大法】

壓力處理得宜，會變成一種動力，產生生命的活力。壓力如果一直持續增加，會使得腎上腺、荷爾蒙出現很大的問題，引發免疫系統方面的疾病，問題就非常嚴重了。

大部分的憂鬱症都是有很大的壓力突然來到，沒有辦法轉化。我們所處的社會上，壓力一定存在，不可能沒有任何壓力。我們活在這個世界周遭所有的人事物都會對我們產生影響，所以我們如何讓它變成正面、積極的影響。而且使我們面臨的壓力都轉化成生命的動力，就會越活越好。

壓力來自於遇到很多的困難，所以我們要學習把困難改變。一講困難，就真的很困難。遇到困難的時候，不要講困難，要把困難講成挑戰，重要的是我們遇到的事情，做出什麼反應。人生90％是決定於你所做出的反應，不是決定於你所遇到的事。成功的企業跟倒閉的企業，成功的人生跟失敗的人生，他們所遇到的困難、挫折、挑戰都差不多，差別在於如何做出回應而已。

跟壓力關係最大的是癌症，得癌症前六個月，幾乎都有重大的壓力事件發生。癌症復發的，也都幾乎在半年或一年之間有重大事件發生。壓力最普遍的現象就是加重消化系統的疾病。壓力一旦無法轉換，會從生理表現出來，現代文明病絕對不是單一因素所造成，尤其不是病毒或細菌所造成。

糖尿病、心臟病、高血壓、癌症、氣喘、過敏，用藥物控制是一點用都沒有。因為它是綜合性的併發症，它的引爆點就是壓力。跟飲食習慣、生活習慣、生活環境息息相關。它是一個長久累積形成得病的體質，等到一個重要事件打擊，終於生病。

當你感到壓力來臨的時候，要學會放鬆。我發現幾個方法很有效，呼吸可以影響腦波的頻率，腦波的頻率可以影響心跳的速度，心跳的速度又可以影響肌肉鬆緊度。這種方式也治療過口吃的病人。你也可以自己練習搓動雙手，用這個方法很有效，可以幫助整個人的氣血回流，體力和精力可很快的充滿。

第二個有效紓解壓力的方法就是運動，讓你整個人震動或舞動，很快就可以提振精神，最好有個規律性的運動，因為運動是紓解壓力最好的方法。另外，每天赤腳在草地上走，就可以釋放壓力。

第三就是睡眠，睡眠是非常好的方法。但是，現代人普遍睡不好覺。睡眠品質越好，壓力釋放的速度越快。可是不要等全身非常累了再去睡，很容易睡不著；很累還睡不好，表示肝已經嚴重受損。

第四就是休息，休息和睡眠不同，休息是脫離原來的工作，轉換一個場景。舉例，吃飯的時候不要在原來的辦公桌吃。不要到外面吃，浪費時間，而且外面很多都是癌症食品。儘量帶便當，比較節省時間，吃完之後，留15分鐘來做和上班無關的事。剩下來的時間做腹式呼吸，透過呼吸來放鬆。

第五是飲食，不要吃高壓力的食物，有刺激性的食物都是高壓力食物，越吃這些食物，會使交感神經亢進，有時會刺激身體所有的功能處於警戒狀態。

什麼是高壓力食物？可樂、汽水、咖啡、茶、酒精、香煙、乳製品、肉製品，所有的肉，尤其是經過油處理的肉的壓力是最大的。

什麼食物會使心情愉快？聖經創世紀第1章29節：上帝說：「看哪，我將遍地上一切結種子的菜蔬，和一切樹上結有殼的果子全賜給你們做食物了。」讓心情愉快最重要的食物，蔬菜、水果、五穀雜糧。飲食中一個重要的東西可以減輕壓力，就是水。喝水可以減輕壓力，喝好水可以釋放壓力。

第六個釋放壓力的方法是曬太陽，聖經上常講到，日光有治療的功效。很多憂鬱症患者都不愛曬太陽，平常多曬太陽，身體的抗體會增加。

此外，有一個很有趣的現象是，現代人不太愛喝水，但多數人卻認為自己已經喝得夠多了，原來是他們把咖啡、果汁和碳酸飲料等也算進去了。尤其咖啡和茶都有利尿作用，容易造成水分大量流失，所以喜歡喝咖啡、茶的人，喝水得比一般人還多才行。每一天把握三個時辰喝水，保證病痛至少好一半以上。一就是早上起床後喝500cc，下午3點鐘喝500cc，晚上9點再喝500cc。不要等到口渴才喝。

怎樣才算睡眠足夠？如何睡好眠？

1. 固定時間入眠
每晚大概約10時，最慢11時入睡，如此一來早上6時左右便會自然醒過來。早睡早起型的人，睡眠一般非常規律，有足夠深沈睡眠的時間，讓身體徹底休息。這是最標準又健康的一種生活型態。

2. 佈置睡眠環境
人腦深處隱藏著一種形似豌豆狀的巧妙腺體，稱為「松果體」，它掌管人體的生理時鐘。松果體在維持人類睡眠機能的正常運作中扮演著重要的角色，它會在適當的時候分泌出一種稱為「褪黑激素」（Melatonin）的神秘賀爾蒙。褪黑激素分泌多的時候，自然我們就會想睡覺；而褪黑激素分泌少的時候，我們自然就會醒過來。松果體被喻為人體的「第三只眼睛」，原因是松果體含了與眼睛相似的色素細胞，對光具有同樣的敏感度，它會根據接收到的光量多少，來決定褪黑激素的分泌量。當我們的眼睛感應不到光線的時候，便會傳達命令到松果體分泌褪黑激素，讓我們進入睡眠。所以如果非要點燈的話，位置最好在低於床的位置以下，避免眼睛接觸到光線。

3. 運用腹式呼吸
一般我們呼吸是利用肺，它是淺、短的呼吸。而腹式呼吸則是深、沈的呼吸，例如吐納功。吸氣時，鼻子吸氣嘴巴閉氣，將腹部充滿氣，吐氣時則相反，以嘴部吐氣而不從鼻子吐氣，氣一定要吐到盡頭。這樣的呼吸法，不僅在運動時使用，在平時更可利用這樣的方式吐納。特別是有恐懼焦慮病症的患者。

4. 睡前2小時不飲食
飲食和睡眠的關係密切，有時候睡前喝過咖啡，於是眼睜睜坐到天亮；有時候吃得太飽的話，又會發惡夢；有時候空著肚子睡覺，整晚又會輾轉難眠。最好在睡前2∼3小時就完全停止一切飲食。

5. 保持愉快的心情
失眠的眾多原因之中，以心理因素最是普遍。只要精神鬆弛下來，自然可以輕易入睡。因為緊張而無法入睡的人，通常都被「我為什麼總是睡不著？」這念頭所困擾。有些人一上床便不斷強逼自己必須入睡，弄得精神非常緊張，如此當然不可能入睡了。

【培養健康的習慣】

流汗是排肺毒最好的方法，所以一定要想辦法流汗，尤其是天氣炎熱的時候，因為天氣炎熱就是要讓我們流汗。可是現代人一感覺到炎熱就躲到房間，打開冷氣，流汗的機會自然變少了，身體怎麼會好？現在的人呼吸系統普遍不好，就是經常待在冷氣房，流汗的機會減少了，肺毒不容易排出去。所以，千萬不要排斥流汗，否則呼吸系統的毒排不出去，將造成身體的傷害。流汗以後一定要喝水，而且不要等到口渴再喝，想到就喝，養成喝水的習慣，坐下來就喝水，不斷地上廁所，這樣可以把腎臟刷洗乾淨。喝水很重要，尤其早上起床後，還沒有刷牙前，先喝下500-600cc，能讓你整夜凝結的美好唾液，通過胃與腸道，把累積在大腸幾十年的宿便排出來，感覺非常好！

要空腹吃水果！水果很快就會通過胃，經過小腸，大部分都在小腸吸收。如果我們飯後才吃水果，胃已經塞滿東西，水果根本無法通過胃部，經過一段時間，水果就會酸掉、臭掉、腐化，於是引發許多消化系統的問題。所以一定要養成空腹吃水果的習慣。

【健康的要件】
第一：正確的飲食醫治身體的疾病。
第二：適當的運動。
第三：充足的睡眠，健康的根基在充足的睡眠。
第四：生活上的規律與節奏。
第五：接受陽光的能。
第六：新鮮的空氣。
第七：無毒生命水。

祝君健康!!!

WHY WOMEN IN CHINA DO NOT GET BREAST CANCER

2011-04-15T07:25:00.002+08:00

THIS IS A WONDERFUL ARTICLE …
Read this, it applies to men too with prostate cancer.

Prof Jane Plant

WHY WOMEN IN CHINA DO NOT GET BREAST CANCER
By Prof. Jane Plant, PhD, CBE

I had no alternative but to die or to try to find a cure for myself. I am a scientist - surely there was a rational explanation for this cruel illness that affects one in 12 women in the UK ?

I had suffered the loss of one breast, and undergone radiotherapy I was now receiving painful chemotherapy, and had been seen by some of the country's most eminent specialists. But, deep down, I felt certain I was facing death. I had a loving husband, a beautiful home and two young children to care for. I desperately wanted to live.

Fortunately, this desire drove me to unearth the facts, some of which were known only to a handful of scientists at the time.

Anyone who has come into contact with breast cancer will know that certain risk factors - such as increasing age, early onset of womanhood, late onset of menopause and a family history of breast cancer - are completely out of our control. But there are many risk factors, which we can control easily.

These "controllable" risk factors readily translate into simple changes that we can all make in our day-to-day lives to help prevent or treat breast cancer. My message is that even advanced breast cancer can be overcome because I have done it.

The first clue to understanding what was promoting my breast cancer came when my husband Peter, who was also a scientist, arrived back from working in China while I was being plugged in for a chemotherapy session.

He had brought with him cards and letters, as well as some amazing herbal suppositories, sent by my friends and science colleagues in China.

The suppositories were sent to me as a cure for breast cancer. Despite the awfulness of the situation, we both had a good belly laugh, and I remember saying that this was the treatment for breast cancer in China , then it was little wonder that Chinese women avoided getting the disease.

Those words echoed in my mind. Why didn't Chinese women in China get breast cancer?

I had collaborated once with Chinese colleagues on a study of links between soil chemistry and disease, and I remembered some of the statistics.

The disease was virtually non-existent throughout the whole country. Only one in 10,000 women in China will die from it, compared to that terrible figure of one in 12 in Britain and the even grimmer average of one in 10 across most Western countries.

It is not just a matter of China being a more rural country, with less urban pollution. In highly urbanized Hong Kong , the rate rises to 34 women in every 10,000 but still puts the West to shame.

The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates. And remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also expect to find some radiation-related cases, too.

The conclusion we can draw from these statistics strikes you with some force. If a Western woman were to move to industrialized, irradiated Hiroshima , she would slash her risk of contracting breast cancer by half. Obviously this is absurd.

It seemed obvious to me that some lifestyle factor not related to pollution, urbanization or the environment is seriously increasing the Western woman's chance of contracting breast cancer.

I then discovered that whatever causes the huge differences in breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries, it isn't genetic.

Scientific research showed that when Chinese or Japanese people move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of breast cancer approach those of their host community.

The same thing happens when oriental people adopt a completely Western lifestyle in Hong Kong . In fact, the slang name for breast cancer in China translates as 'Rich Woman's Disease'. This is because, in China, only the better off can afford to eat what is termed ' Hong Kong food'.

The Chinese describe all Western food, including everything from ice cream and chocolate bars to spaghetti and feta cheese, as "Hong Kong food", because of its availability in the former British colony and its scarcity, in the past, in mainland China. So it made perfect sense to me that whatever was causing my breast cancer and the shockingly high incidence in this country generally, it was almost certainly something to do with our better-off, middle-class, Western lifestyle.

There is an important point for men here, too. I have observed in my research that much of the data about prostate cancer leads to similar conclusions.

According to figures from the World Health Organization, the number of men contracting prostate cancer in rural China is negligible, only 0.5 men in every 100,000.

In England, Scotland and Wales , however, this figure is 70 times higher. Like breast cancer, it is a middle-class disease that primarily attacks the wealthier and higher socio-economic groups, those that can afford to eat rich foods.

I remember saying to my husband, "Come on Peter, you have just come back from China . What is it about the Chinese way of life that is so different?"

Why don't they get breast cancer?'

We decided to utilize our joint scientific backgrounds and approach it logically.

We examined scientific data that pointed us in the general direction of fats in diets.

Researchers had discovered in the 1980s that only l4% of calories in the average Chinese diet were from fat, compared to almost 36% in the West.

But the diet I had been living on for years before I contracted breast cancer was very low in fat and high in fiber.

Besides, I knew as a scientist that fat intake in adults has not been shown to increase risk for breast cancer in most investigations that have followed large groups of women for up to a dozen years.

Then one day something rather special happened Peter and I have worked together so closely over the years that I am not sure which one of us first said:
"The Chinese don't eat dairy produce!"

It is hard to explain to a non-scientist the sudden mental and emotional 'buzz' you get when you know you have had an important insight. It's as if you have had a lot of pieces of a jigsaw in your mind, and suddenly, in a few seconds, they all fall into place and the whole picture is clear.

Suddenly I recalled how many Chinese people were physically unable to tolerate milk, how the Chinese people I had worked with had always said that milk was only for babies, and how one of my close friends, who is of Chinese origin, always politely turned down the cheese course at dinner parties

I knew of no Chinese people who lived a traditional Chinese life who ever used cow or other dairy food to feed their babies. The tradition was to use a wet nurse but never, ever, dairy products.

Culturally, the Chinese find our Western preoccupation with milk and milk products very strange. I remember entertaining a large delegation of Chinese scientists shortly after the ending of the Cultural Revolution in the 1980s.

On advice from the Foreign Office, we had asked the caterer to provide a pudding that contained a lot of ice cream After inquiring what the pudding consisted of, all of the Chinese, including their interpreter, politely but firmly refused to eat it, and they could not be persuaded to change their minds.

At the time we were all delighted and ate extra portions!

Milk, I discovered, is one of the most common causes of food allergies .

Over 70% of the world's population are unable to digest the milk sugar, lactose, which has led nutritionists to believe that this is the normal condition for adults, not some sort of deficiency. Perhaps nature is trying to tell us that we are eating the wrong food.

Before I had breast cancer for the first time, I had eaten a lot of dairy produce, such as skimmed milk, low-fat cheese and yogurt I had used it as my main source of protein. I also ate cheap but lean minced beef, which I now realized was probably often ground-up dairy cow.

In order to cope with the chemotherapy I received for my fifth case of cancer, I had been eating organic yogurts as a way of helping my digestive tract to recover and repopulate my gut with 'good' bacteria.

Recently, I discovered that way back in 1989 yogurt had been implicated in ovarian cancer. Dr Daniel Cramer of Harvard University studied hundreds of women with ovarian cancer, and had them record in detail what they normally ate. Wish I'd been made aware of his findings when he had first discovered them.

Following Peter's and my insight into the Chinese diet, I decided to give up not just yogurt but all dairy produce immediately. Cheese, butter, milk and yogurt and anything else that contained dairy produce - it went down the sink or in the rubbish.

It is surprising how many products, including commercial soups, biscuits and cakes, contain some form of dairy produce Even many proprietary brands of margarine marketed as soya, sunflower or olive oil spreads can contain dairy produce.

I therefore became an avid reader of the small print on food labels.

Up to this point, I had been steadfastly measuring the progress of my fifth cancerous lump with callipers and plotting the results. Despite all the encouraging comments and positive feedback from my doctors and nurses, my own precise observations told me the bitter truth.

My first chemotherapy sessions had produced no effect - the lump was still the same size.
Then I eliminated dairy products. Within days, the lump started to shrink

About two weeks after my second chemotherapy session and one week after giving up dairy produce, the lump in my neck started to itch. Then it began to soften and to reduce in size. The line on the graph, which had shown no change, was now pointing downwards as the tumour got smaller and smaller.

And, very significantly, I noted that instead of declining exponentially (a graceful curve) as cancer is meant to do, the tumour's decrease in size was plotted on a straight line heading off the bottom of the graph, indicating a cure, not suppression (or remission) of the tumour.

One Saturday afternoon after about six weeks of excluding all dairy produce from my diet, I practised an hour of meditation then felt for what was left of the lump. I couldn't find it. Yet I was very experienced at detecting cancerous lumps - I had discovered all five cancers on my own. I went downstairs and asked my husband to feel my neck. He could not find any trace of the lump either.

On the following Thursday I was due to be seen by my cancer specialist at Charing Cross Hospital in London . He examined me thoroughly, especially my neck where the tumour had been. He was initially bemused and then delighted as he said, "I cannot find it." None of my doctors, it appeared, had expected someone with my type and stage of cancer (which had clearly spread to the lymph system) to survive, let alone be so hale and hearty.

My specialist was as overjoyed as I was. When I first discussed my ideas with him he was understandably sceptical. But I understand that he now uses maps showing cancer mortality in China in his lectures, and recommends a non-dairy diet to his cancer patients.

I now believe that the link between dairy produce and breast cancer is similar to the link between smoking and lung cancer.

I believe that identifying the link between breast cancer and dairy produce, and then developing a diet specifically targeted at maintaining the health of my breast and hormone system, cured me.

It was difficult for me, as it may be for you, to accept that a substance as 'natural' as milk might have such ominous health implications.

But I am a living proof that it works and, starting from tomorrow, I shall reveal the secrets of my revolutionary action plan.

容易惊恐的人练功时应注意什么? (赵金香宗师)

2011-04-12T17:31:00.002+08:00

“惊”是猝然遇到非常事变而导致精神上突然紧张的表现，如忽遇险恶，突临危难，幻视异物，耳闻巨响等，都可发生惊骇。惊能致病，是由于内动心神，神惊则气乱不定。所以《素问》说：“惊则心无所倚，神无所归，虑无所定，故气乱矣”。遇惊触动，则又是心气先虚所致，否则虽遇危险，或身临异境也能镇静下来，心平气和，不致造成惊后发病。

“恐”是惧怕的意思，是一种精神极度紧张所引起的胆怯表现。名医张子和说：“惊为不自知，恐为自知”。《素问一》说：“恐，如人将辅之。”(脉解篇)。《诗经》也有“如临深渊，如履薄冰”的诗句，都指恐惧而言，恐惧原因虽多，不外乎肾脏亏虚，气血不足，志歉神怯，因“肾藏志”、“心藏神”。血不足则志歉，志歉则惊，恐则神去。所以《灵枢•本神篇》有“神伤则恐惧自失”。《经脉篇》有“肾足少阴之脉气不足则善恐”。

《素问‘调经论》有“血不足则恐”。《宣明五气论》有“精气并于肾则恐”，《四时刺逆从论篇》有“气血内功，令人善恐”等等记载。以上所说是由于内脏气血先亏而后生恐的，还有因恐而伤及内脏的，如“恐伤肾”。“恐则脾气乘矣”等。练气功惊恐之人有之，不练气功也有之，不能惊恐之后怪气功出偏，具体问题具体分析、具体处理。明白了容易惊恐的道理，练功要选择场地、环境，应当飞力避免遭受惊吓。

十二種有毒的家常菜

2011-04-07T12:58:00.001+08:00

有些食物的搭配組合已經是由來已久，其美妙的口味也被人們所接受習慣上也覺得這些種搭配是順理成章的了。但從健康的角度講，還是不科學的健康專家可是有著充足的理由呢！這裡給您列出12種被健康專家列為錯誤的菜肴搭配。如果您很重視健康，還是聽聽專家們的忠告別總是傻吃、貪吃。有些人或許會說，吃了那麼久也沒事呀！！不是沒事，而是每個人自己都會產生抗體(免疫力)，當免疫力大於病毒時，是不會有事的；但是，當免疫力敵不過病毒時，就是生病的開始了；所以，請您好好仔細仔細行衡量一下囉。

01、馬鈴薯燒牛肉：
由於馬鈴薯和牛肉在被消化時所需的胃酸的濃度不同，就勢必延長食物在胃中的滯留時間，從而引起胃腸消化吸收時間的延長，久而久之，必然導致腸胃功能的紊亂。

02、小蔥拌豆腐：
豆腐中的鈣與蔥中的草酸，會結合成白色沉澱物 "草酸鈣"，同樣造成人體對鈣的吸收困難。

03、豆漿沖雞蛋：
雞蛋中的粘液性蛋白會與豆漿中的胰蛋白結合，從而失去二者應有的營養價值。

04、茶葉煮雞蛋：
茶葉中除生物鹼外，還有酸性物質，這些化合物與雞蛋中的鐵元素結合，對胃有刺激作用，且不利於消化吸收。

05、炒雞蛋放味精：
雞蛋本身含有許多與味精成分相同的谷氨酸，所以炒雞蛋時放味精，不僅增加不了鮮味，反而會破壞和掩蓋雞蛋的天然鮮味。

06、紅白蘿蔔混吃：
白蘿蔔中的維生素C含量極高，但紅蘿蔔中卻含有一種叫抗壞血酸的分解酵素，它會破壞白蘿蔔中的維生素C。一旦紅白蘿蔔配合，白蘿蔔中的維生素C就會喪失殆盡。不僅如此，在與含維生素C的蔬菜配合烹調時，紅蘿蔔都充當了破壞者的角色。還有胡瓜、南瓜等也含有類似紅蘿蔔的分解酵素。

07、蘿蔔水果同吃：
近年來科學家們發現，蘿蔔等十字花科蔬菜進入人體後，經代謝很快就會產生一種抗甲狀腺的物質 "硫氰酸"。該物質產生的多少與攝入量成正比。此時，如果攝入含大量植物色素的水果如橘子、梨、蘋果、葡萄等，這些水果! 中! 的類黃酮物質在腸道被細菌分解，轉化成羥苯甲酸及阿魏酸，它們可加強硫氰酸抑制甲狀腺的作用，從而誘發或導致甲狀腺腫。

08、海味與水果同食：
海味中的魚、蝦、藻類，含有豐富的蛋白質和鈣等營養物質，如果與含有鞣酸的水果同食，不僅會降低蛋白質的營養價值，且易使海味中的鈣質與鞣酸結合成一種新的不易消化的物質，這種物質會刺激胃而引起不適，使人出現肚子痛、嘔吐、噁心等症狀。含鞣酸較多的水果有柿子、葡萄、石榴、山楂、青果等。因此這些水果不宜與海味菜同時食用，以間隔兩個小時為宜。

09、牛奶與橘子同食：
剛喝完牛奶就吃橘子，牛奶中的蛋白質就會先與橘子中的果酸和維生素ｃ相遇而凝固成塊，影響消化吸收，而且還會使人發生腹脹、腹痛、腹瀉等症狀。

10、酒與胡蘿蔔同食：
最近，美國食品專家告誡人們：酒與胡蘿蔔同食是很危險的。專家指出，因為胡蘿蔔中豐富的胡蘿蔔素與酒精一同進入人體，就會在肝臟中產生毒素，從而引起肝病。特別是在飲用胡蘿蔔汁後不要馬上去飲酒。

11、白酒與汽水同飲：
因為白酒、汽水同飲後會很快使酒精在全身揮發，並生產大量的二氧化碳，對胃、腸、肝、腎等器官有嚴重危害，對心腦血管也有損害。

12、吃肉時喝茶：
有的人在吃肉食、海味等高蛋白食物後，不久就喝茶，以為能幫助消化。殊不知，茶葉中的大量鞣酸與蛋白質結合，會生成具有收斂性的鞣酸蛋白質，使腸蠕動減慢，從而延長糞便在腸道內滯留的時間。既容易形成便秘，又增加有毒和致癌物質被人體吸收的可能性。
吃肉時喝茶.jpg

三明治＋優酪乳＝癌症：
是否有注意到便利商店的三明治＋優酪乳省10元的活動，要小心喔！三明治中若有培根、醃肉不可和優酪乳一起吃喔！因為培根、香腸、火腿、臘肉等加有硝酸鹽，用以防止肉毒桿菌生長，避免食物毒，但若和優酪乳、多多、等乳酸飲料一起食用，則硝酸鹽會生成亞硝胺會致癌，所以要小心。

鮮奶加茶會變成劣等蛋白質對身體有害

所以絕對不要喝奶茶

The purple sweet potato: The latest in a long line of potential ‘Superfoods’

2011-03-28T12:32:00.002+08:00

The purple sweet potato, the latest food item presented to the general public as a potential superfood. The potato’s colouring contained the chemical anthocyanin, which is known to lower the risk of cancer and could even possibly slow down certain types of the disease. The colour is the important part because the purple colour is responsible for the amount of anthocyanin in the potato. Scientists have already used two strands of anthocyanin to treat colon cancer and found that the pigment slowed down the growth of cancerous cells. Anthocyanin, which produces red, blue or purple colours in different types of food, can also be found in blueberries, red grapes and red cabbage, however the specially grown purple sweet potato has a higher concentration of the chemical than any other species of potato. Dr Weiqun Wang, who was also involved in testing the potato, has said that the new purple sweet potato tasted sweeter than other potatoes but was still perfectly edible. According to Wang, “It’s good not only for cancer prevention but other benefits like antioxidants as well.”SWEET POTATO (Kamote)far exceeds the nutrition and health values of rice.

Here are the benefits of substituting rice with kamote:

1. Sweet potato is more filling and suppresses hunger pangs longer. It is also cheaper than rice.

2. Unlike rice, it is easy to grow. It grows in backyards with or without fertilizers. Local government executives can provide their poor communities with idle government land for planting kamote which the entire community can share.

3. Unlike rice which needs to be eaten with a dish, Sweet Potato tastes good and can be eaten by itself. Thus, substituting rice with sweet potato saves money for other needs.

4. Rice cannot match the nutritional values of potato. Because rice converts to sugar in the body, the Philippines registers as a top producer of diabetics in the world. The poor tends to load up on rice and less on the dish which are more expensive. That makes them vulnerable to diabetes, an ailment known in developed countries as a rich man’s disease.

5. The nutritional values of a 3 oz. bakedsweet potatoare: calories 90, fat 0 g, saturated fat 0 g, cholesterol 0 mg, carbohydrate 21 g, protein 2 g, dietary fiber 3 g, sodium 36 mg

6. Too much rice consumption can make you sick, but sweet potato (kamote) can bring you to health and keep away some health problems. These have been proved medically.

Sweet Potato (kamote) lowers hypertension, bad cholesterol and even blood sugar when eaten as as a substitute to rice! (Wonder if they mean white rice or brown rice as well....) The purple sweet potato (kamote) is particularly effective for lowering hypertension.

The Korean medical documentary credits the sweet potato (kamote) as high fiber and is one of the best foods that one can eat to prevent cancer!

练功和冷水浴有无矛盾?

2011-03-26T11:52:00.002+08:00

冷水浴也是一种保健方法，通过这种方法长期锻炼，可以增强人的身心健康和抗病益寿的能力。气功锻炼是增强体质，挖掘人体潜能，开发智慧的最好办法。两者基本上没有矛盾。但应注意，冷水浴最好在练功前进行，因为练功后，人体穴位和毛孔都开了，冷水浴会使穴位和毛孔发生“闭塞”，容易感冒，只要避免这个问题，是可以洗冷水浴的。

　　......

　　现代人越来越会生活，越来越会用各种不同的方式来放松自己。垂钓、上网、打牌、玩球、唱卡拉OK、下棋.....不一而足。人们根据自己的兴趣爱好寻找放松身心的最佳方式，在相对固定的社交圈子里怡然的生活，而且不断的扩大交往的圈子，结交新的朋友.....

　　有时，你会为新添置的一套漂亮时装而快乐无比；有时，你会为孩子的一次小考成绩优异而倍感欣慰；有时，你会为刚参加的一项比赛拿了名次而喜不自胜；有时，你会为完成了上司交给的一个任务而信心大增.....

　　生活简单就是幸福！

　　生活简单就是幸福，不意味着我们放弃了对目标的追逐，是在忙碌中的停歇，是身心的恢复和调整，是下一步冲刺的前奏，是以饱满的精力和旺盛的热情去投入新的“战斗”的一个“驿站”；

　　生活简单就是幸福，不意味着我们放弃了对生活的热爱，是于点点滴滴中去积累人生，在平平淡淡中寻求充实和快乐。

Constant stress at work is bad for heart

2011-03-20T16:00:00.000+08:00

FRANKFURT - Work is piling up on the desk and in a few hours the presentation must be finished. To make matters worse, the telephone keeps ringing.

Job-related stress is common. If it goes on for years, though, it can have serious physical consequences - particularly for the heart.

According to the German Heart Foundation, each year nearly 300,000 people in Germany suffer a a heart attack, often due to stress.

So reducing stress at the workplace can be an important means of preventing serious heart disease.

"Stress causes, among other things, the release of more stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream," explained Ulrich Hildebrandt, head physician in the Cardiology Department at St Irmingard Clinic.

This reaction, he said, was sometimes vital to our forebears: "When in danger, the body went into maximum gear and into a state of emergency to survive critical situations, for example by fleeing from a large animal."

Stress also ramps up the autonomic nervous system, which "regulates how often the heart beats and how many times a minute it contracts, among other things," Hildebrandt said.

These stress reactions, if persistent or regular, can cause damage to the body.

"Someone suffering from chronic stress is always steamed up, so to speak," remarked Karl-Heinz Ladwig, a member of the German Heart Foundation's scientific advisory board.

"This means, for example, that the heart rate is constantly elevated and the heart beats more frequently than in its normal state."

More strain is put on the heart, he said, resulting in more damage. The regular release of stress hormones into the bloodstream can also lead to high blood pressure and irritable bowel syndrome.

"Another aspect is that the psyche can affect the body's immune system," Ladwig pointed out. In other words, a person under constant stress gets infections more often and tends to heal from wounds more slowly.

"Work-related stress is a combination of objective and subjective parameters," he said.

Though studies have shown that objective stress factors such as time pressure, constant noise, lots of overtime and a heavy workload considerably increase the risk of heart disease, Ladwig said, "how you react to these objective factors and whether you can try to change them also plays a role."

Still, the causes of stress are more objective in nature than mental, he noted. But they need not lead to a heart attack or other forms of heart disease.

"You can try to reduce the stress somewhat," advised Jochen Jordan, a psychocardiologist and member of the German Cardiac Society.

People who are always setting themselves higher goals and putting themselves under pressure are heightening stress, he remarked.

"Instead," he said, "you should ask yourself, 'Is this work style worth it? Is this the way I want to live?'"

Those who put less stress on themselves are taking care of their cardiovascular system.

Exercise is also a very important way to ease stress since "it helps flush stress hormones like adrenaline out of the body," noted Jordan, who recommended about three hours of aerobic exercise a week.

"It can be cycling, jogging or Nordic walking," he said, and gave the following example: When a sales representative arrives at his destination in a nervous state after a drive of several hours, he should first go for a jog instead of meeting the customer for a hearty meal.

Purposeful relaxation training can help, too. "The aim is to lower the pulse and blood pressure," Jordan said.

Simply plopping down on the sofa and watching TV may seem like relaxation but is often of little help.

"Techniques that stimulate the parasympathic nervous system - that bring about calm and rest, that is - are usually better," he said.

"For example, yoga, tai chi or listening to relaxing music."

Some occupations are intrinsically more likely than others to be stressful. Studies have shown prolonged night and shift work to be harmful, noted Jordan.

In the long run, he said, such work seriously jeopardizes a person's circadian rhythm. "Jobs requiring a lot of driving also pose the risk of heart diseases," he added, citing bus, taxi and lorry drivers.

Jordan said that many people were very tense for a long time while driving and were then unable to really relax. - DPA/Bernama

什么时间是练功的最佳时间?

2011-03-17T10:22:00.003+08:00

我们认为子、午、卯、酉四个时辰较好。子夜即夜间11—1点；午时即中午11--1点；卯时即早晨5--7点；酉时即晚间5--7点。现在由于大家都要工作、学习或参加一些社会活动，一般不易按时坚持。可以根据自己的时间和个人的工作情况而定，合理进行安排，什么时间方便就什么时间练，最好有个固定时间，以便养成习惯，持志以恒，长期坚持下去。一旦由于工作忙，错过了练功时间，也不要紧，过一会儿再补上也就行了。
