Vitamin B17: The Cancer Buster that is kept a secret
Vitamin B17 is found in almost all fruit seeds such as the apple, peach, cherry, orange, nectarine and apricot, as well as some beans and many grasses such as wheat grass. The seeds of these fruits (particularly apricots) hold the source of one of the most important nutrients known to man. It is one of the main food sources in cultures such as the Navajo Indians, the Himalayan Hunzas and the Abkhasians. Did you know that within these tribes there has never been a reported case of cancer? Research has shown that these tribes never contract cancer or suffer from heart disease if they stick to their native diet, which is exceptionally high in both apricots and millet.
Vitamin B17: A Brief History of Oppression
Vitamin B17, also known as Amygdalin or Laetrile, is basically a glycoside (certain molecules in which a sugar part is bound to some other part). Initially, it was isolated from the seeds of the tree Prunus dulcis, also known as bitter almonds (banned from the US in 1995), by Pierre-Jean Robiquet and A. F. Boutron-Charlard, in 1803 and was followed by a thorough investigation of the glycoside, by Liebig and Wöhler, in 1830.
During 1950 after many years of research, a dedicated biochemist Dr. Ernst T. Krebs, Jr. isolated a new vitamin that he numbered B17 and called 'Laetrile'. Thousands became convinced that Dr. Krebs had finally found the complete control for all cancers, a conviction shared by even more people today. But back in 1950 Dr. Krebs had no idea of the hornet's nest he was about to stir up.
How do we get cancer in the first place? - through exposure to cigarette smoking, intense sunlight or perhaps the effect of toxic food additives? According to Dr. Krebs neither is the case. His hard biochemical evidence points to the fact that cancer is a simple deficiency disease of vitamin B17, long ago removed from our highly refined western diets. Dr. Krebs suggests that the so-called 'carcinogens' (substances, radionuclide or radiation that are agents directly involved in the promotion of cancer) are merely stress triggers, which finally expose the B17 deficiency with devastating effects: cancer.
The proof Dr. Krebs has presented over the years to support his claim of 'lost' B17 in our diets is impressive. For example, centuries ago, we used to eat millet and linseed bread rich in B17, but now we chew our way through wheat bread which has none at all. Generations ago we used to crush the seeds of plums, cherries, apples and apricots with our home made jams and preserves. Thus, B17 was part of daily diets and guess what... Centuries ago there was a lot less cancer around, if any at all...
Vitamin B17 at work
Vitamin B17 is harmless to healthy tissue for a very simple reason. Each molecule of B17 contains one unit of cyanide, one unit of benzaldehyde and two of glucose (sugar) tightly locked together. In order for the cyanide to become dangerous it is necessary to first 'unlock' the molecule to release it. This can only be performed by an enzyme called beta-glucosidase, which is present all over the human body in minute quantities. However, beta-glucosidase is present in vast quantities (up to 100 times as high) at only one place: the site of a malignant cancer tumour. Thus, the cyanide is unlocked only at the cancer site with drastic results, which become utterly devastating to the cancer cells because the benzaldehyde unit unlocks at the same time.
Benzaldehyde is a deadly poison in its own right, which then acts synergistically with the cyanide to produce a poison 100 times more deadly than either in isolation. The combined effect on the cancer cells is best left to the imagination.

Back to the attack
Unable to patent B17 or claim exclusive rights to the vitamin, the pharmaceutical multinationals launched a massive propaganda attack of unprecedented viciousness against Laetrile, despite the fact that hard proof of its efficiency in controlling cancer was everywhere (and still is).
Dr. Kreb's B17 Laetrile was derived from apricot kernels and then synthesized into crystalline form using his own unique process. Out of the blue, the American Food and Drug Administration bombarded the media with a story about an unfortunate couple who had poisoned themselves by eating raw apricot kernels in San Francisco. The story made headline news across the US but strangely journalists never managed to establish the identity of the unfortunate couple, despite many determined attempts. But the multinational pharmaceutical/FDA boot had been put in with a vengeance. From that point onwards, eating apricot kernels or B17 Laetrile became synonymous with committing suicide.

You can only guess what happened next after the FDA and pharmaceutical multinationals started pouncing on the claims of vitamin B17... Yes, demands were made for government studies to be conducted and the results of these studies showed that evidence for the benefits of B17 as a cancer treatment were ‘inconclusive’ or not ‘comprehensive’ and it became a case of ‘same old story, same old song’.
Unfortunately, most governments have buckled under the pressure exerted by the pharmaceutical multinationals, the FDA, and the American Medical Association (AMA). All three have mounted highly successful 'scare' campaigns based on the fact that vitamin B17 contains quantities of 'deadly' cyanide; conveniently forgetting that vitamin B12 also contains large quantities of cyanide but is freely available in health food shops world-wide...

Papaya is the Health Fruit of Angels
Papaya is called fruit of the angels by Conquistadors because of its heavenly taste. In its prime, it is a cerise-orange colored, unbelievably juicy fruit with an aroma to match its heavenly taste. Not only is papaya beautiful, fragrant and luscious, it is amazingly healthful!
How fortunate that this glorious fruit is available year-round. Although a native of the tropics, papaya trees produce fruit all year long and are now produced in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. A ripe papaya can be as long as twenty inches, but most commercially grown fruits are pear-shaped, about seven inches in length and about a pound in weight.
It is high in bromelain, which makes it beneficial in ways similar to pineapple. Since it loses nutrient strength as it ripens, papaya is best if purchased mostly ripe and eaten by the next day. Purchase fruit that is orangey-red in color and just a little soft to touch. Fruits that have yellow patches are less ripe and will take a few days at home to become their best. The seeds of a papaya are small, round and black in color. Although they are edible, they have a bitter, peppery flavor that few people seem to find enjoyable.
Papaya can be eaten for its digestive and heart health properties. Externally, it is used in anti-aging products and both the skin and pulp are valuable as healing agents. After a course of antibiotic therapy, papaya juice will rapidly return the intestinal bacteria count to normal. It is especially rich in Vitamin C and carotene.
More unusual, but very valuable is its high arginine, papain and carpain contents. Arginine is known to be good for male fertility, while papain is a proteolytic enzyme. This means papain can break down protein, making it valuable as a meat tenderizer. Carpain is an enzyme considered to be good for the heart.
Papaya also contains fibrin, a rarity in the plant world. In humans, fibrin is an essential part of the blood clotting process.Although further study needs to be done, early findings lead to the belief that papaya may prevent diabetic heart disease. It is high in fiber, which helps to lower cholesterol.
A very special ability of the fiber contained in papaya is that it can bind cancer causing toxins to it, preventing them from binding to cells in the colon. For individuals with a family history of colon cancer, papaya may be an important dietary addition.Another promising finding is that men who ate lycopene-rich foods are less likely to develop prostate cancer. Papaya is one of the high lycopene fruits, easy to eat and easy to obtain in today's markets.Papaya is a great addition to any meal or snack. Chunks of fresh papaya are terrific in cereal or in smoothies.

Ulasan Buku-"Quranic Law of Attraction"
'Law of Attraction' (Hukum Tarikan) tulisan Michael J. Losier (2007) telah saya postkan dalam entry terdahulu.
Basically LOA mengatakan "like attracts like" atau "You get what you put your energy and focus on, whether wanted or unwanted"
Dengan kata mudahnya-'apa yang anda fikir dan fokuskan, itulah yang anda dapat'. Kalau anda fikir anda nak kaya dan dapat banyak duit, maka itulah 'vibration' atau 'energy' yang anda pancarkan ke alam semesta dan duitlah yang anda dapat (dalam berbagai-bagai cara). Begitu juga sebaliknya.
Sekali imbas, sebagai seorang Muslim mungkin kita tidak percaya dalam hal ini.perhatikan perkataan alam semesta (universe) di atas.(Kita percaya segalanya adalah dari Allah). Tetapi, tunggu dahulu!
Seorang hamba Allah telah menjelaskan kepada saya begini.Allah Taala yang Maha Bijaksana dan Maha Pemurah telah menjadikan alam semesta (universe) ini sebagai satu SMART SYSTEM yang telah lengkap, dari azali hingga ke hari akhirat. Bermakna pilihan adalah di tangan kita-kalau kita pilih jalan yang baik, baiklah kita, begitulah sebaliknya.
Orang yang berusaha, dia akan dapat apa yang diinginkan.(konsep qada' dan qadar)
Perhatikan firman Allah:“…sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan mengubah nasib sesuatu kaum itu sehingga mereka sendiri mengubah nasib mereka….” (Ar-Ra’du:11)
Perhatikan lagi.."Maka sesiapa yang mengerjakan kebaikan seberat zarah, nescaya dia akan melihat (balasan)nya.Dan sesiapa yang mengerjakan kejahatan seberat zarah, nescaya dia akan melihat (balasan)nya" (Az-Zalzalah: 7-8)
Ada banyak lagi ayat-ayat Quran yang menerangkan konsep LOA ni.Dalam buku yang ditulis oleh Sdr Rusdin S. Rauf di atas, ianya mengupas konsep LOA dari perspektif Quran.
Konsep Doa, Syukur dan Sabar diterangkan dengan panjang lebar, juga bagaimana kita boleh memanfaatkan 'energy' dari Quran.
Benarlah Quran itu menjadi petunjuk dan relevan untuk sepanjang zaman!
Syabas Sdr Rusdin!

To Test or Not to Test: Guidelines for testing health conditions
Screening tests that can detect disease in its early stages can save millions in medical costs and priceless amounts of pain and heartache. But who needs what? And when?
Here are some guidelines for testing for various health conditions:
Here are some guidelines for testing for various health conditions:
Men
Abdominal aortic aneurysm: A man between the ages of 65 and 75 who has smoked at least 100 cigarettes should have a single ultrasound screening of the abdominal aorta.
Colorectal cancer: The typical age to begin screening is 50. Doctors recommend annual testing for fecal occult blood, a test which is done with stool cards at home, and colonoscopies every 10 years if tests results are normal. Doctors don't usually order colonoscopies for people over age 85 because the stress of the test could offset its benefits.
Diabetes: Men who develop high blood pressure or high cholesterol should then be tested for diabetes.
Depression: Men who feel sad or hopeless over a period of several weeks or receive little pleasure from things they once enjoyed should ask to be screened for depression.
High cholesterol: Testing should begin for most men at age 35. Younger men who smoke, have a history of heart disease in their families, have diabetes or high blood pressure should talk to their doctors about administering a cholesterol test before they reach 35.
High blood pressure: Anyone 18 or older should be screened for high blood pressure at least once a year.
HIV: Men should discuss the need for HIV testing if they have done any of the following: Had sex with men since 1975; had unprotected sex with multiple partners; injected drugs; exchanged sex for money or drugs; or had sex with anyone who is bisexual, has HIV, or has injected drugs; or had a blood transfusion between 1978 and 1985.
Prostate cancer: Digital rectal exams or a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test should be administered yearly starting at age 50. Men who are at high risk for prostate cancer -- those who have had a father or brother develop prostate cancer before the age of 65, and black men, whose rates of prostate cancer are high -- should begin testing at age 40. Because prostate cancer grows so slowly in older men, doctors recommend that annual testing stop after age 75.
Sexually transmitted infections: Men should discuss the need to be tested for gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia or other sexually transmitted diseases with their doctors.
Women
Breast cancer: Have a mammogram every one to two years between the ages of 40 and 50 and an annual mammogram after 50. Women with a history of breast cancer in their families should have a baseline mammogram at age 35 and begin annual screening at 40 or 50. A woman who has a relative who developed breast cancer before menopause should have a baseline mammogram 10 years younger than the age of that relative.
Cervical cancer: Women should have a Pap smear every one to three years, beginning at age 18 or within three years of starting sexual activity. Most women have an annual pap smear and should continue to do so until they have had three normal pap smears in a row and are in a stable sexual relationship. Women who have a lifetime history of normal pap smears may want to talk with their doctors about discontinuing them after age 65. Most experts recommend discontinuing pap smears after removal of the uterus and cervix for reasons other than cancer, if previous pap smears have been normal.
Chlamydia and other sexually transmitted diseases: Women should be tested for chlamydia if they are 25 or younger and are sexually active. Older women should discuss being tested for chlamydia and other sexually transmitted diseases with their doctors.
Colorectal cancer: Same as men.
Diabetes: Same as men.
Depression: Same as men.
High cholesterol: Women should start having regular cholesterol checks at 45. Those who are younger than 45 should talk to their doctors about cholesterol checks if they smoke, have diabetes, have high blood pressure or have heart disease in their families.
High blood pressure: Women should have their blood pressure checked at least every two years.
HIV: Women should be tested for these reasons: if they are pregnant; had sex for money or had sex partners who did; have used needles to inject drugs; have had unprotected sex with multiple partners; have had sex with partners who are bisexual, used needles to inject drugs or who have HIV; if they are undergoing treatment for sexually transmitted diseases; or had a blood transfusion between 1978 and 1985.
Osteoporosis: Women should have a bone-density test at age 65. Women who weigh 154 pounds or less should talk to their doctors about being tested between the ages of 60 and 64.
