SILENT KILLER:

What you need to know about NIGHTMARE or BANGUNGOT (in Filipino) & some realities.

Information from a US-based pharmacist

It seems only MALES are afflicted with this.

 IMPORTANT:

Never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.

Bangungot (nightmare) can cause sudden death in adults while sleeping.

Many theories have been put forward as its cause. However, here is an article which sheds some light to the cause of this malady.

 Please read on:

Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR:

The reported cause of Philippine pop idol/actor Rico Yan’s death is nightmare or bangungot presumably due to “Acute Hemorrhagic Pancreatitis“. Medical investigators in China , Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from “acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis” found out that the majority of them had eaten noodles as their supper. This was a startling finding.

However, it wasn’t the noodles that caused nightmares but

DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that cause a person to dehydrate or lose water.

It is therefore advisable for a person totake several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few or several alcoholic drinks.

Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water.

The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during your 8-hour rest.

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven  its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases:

Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.

 

METHOD OF TREATMENT

1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water

2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute

3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.

4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours

5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.

6.. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life..

 

The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:

1.      High Blood Pressure (30 days)

2.      Gastric (10 days)

3.      Diabetes (30 days)

4.      Constipation (10 days)

5.      Cancer (180 days)

6.      TB (90 days)

7.      Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd  week onwards daily.

 

This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.

It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.

This makes sense …. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain…

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.  However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this “sludge” reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food.. It will line the intestine.

Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

 

A serious note about heart attacks:

·         Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting,

·         Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line.

·         You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack.

·         Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms.

·         60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up.

·         Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let’s be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive…….

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to everyone they know, you can be sure that we’ll save at least one life.

Please be a true friend and send this article to all your friends you care about

TO ALL FOLKS BORN ON 1950’s, 60’s, 70’s and the EARLY 80’s…

December 3rd, 2008 by chocopeaches
TO ALL FOLKS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1950’s, 60′ s,  70’s  and early 80’s !!

First, some of us  survived being born to mothers who did not have an OB-Gyne and drank San Miguel Beer while they carried us.

While pregnant, they took cold or cough medicine, ate Linunod, balikutsa,bukhayo  and didn’t worry about diabetes.

Then after all that trauma, our baby cribs were made of hard wood covered with lead-based paints, ang uban kay duyan nga habol gihigtan ug pisi nga inigtabyog ug kusog ma pakong intawon ta sa bongbong.

 
We had no soft cushy cribs that play music, no disposable diapers (lampin lang sa General Milling nga naa’y faded picture nga nag-salute), and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, no kneepads, wala pa gyu’y break ang bisikleta.

As children, we would ride in hot un-airconditioned buses with wooden seats (Bisaya Bus nga pultahan puros ang kilid, Corominas Bus nga senimana ang brake), or cars with no airconditioning & no seat belts   (karon kay Minibus na nga nindot kaayo ug sounds or Ceres Bus nga bugnaw ug aircon)

Riding on the back of a carabao on a breezy summer day was considered a treat. (karon; ang mga bata wala na kaila ug Kabaw)

 
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT bottled mineral water sa Nature Spring or Viva, or Absolute Mineral water (usahay gani, straight from the faucet or poso or Tabay!)
 

We shared one soft drink bottle with four of our friends, and NO ONE actually died from this. Or contacted hepatitis.

We ate rice with star margarine, bahaw nga gibutangan ug asin ug mantika sa baboy, drank raw eggs straight from the shell,  and drank sofdrinks with real sugar in it (dili diet coke or Pepsi Max), but we weren’t sick or overweight kay……
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, and get back when the streetlights came on. Syatong, Bato-Lata, Bagol, Dakop-Dakop, Tago-Tago, Ngita’g Kaka.  

No one was able to reach us all day ( wala pa’y uso ang cellphone) . And yes, we were O.K.

We would spend hours building our wooden trolleys (katong bearing ang ligid) or Karitong Kawayan nga karaang tsinilas ang giporma nga ligid and then ride down the street , wala ma’y gidungog nga naligsan atoh!  After hitting the sidewalk or falling into a canal (sewage channel) a few times, we learned to solve the problem ourselves with our bare & dirty hands .
 
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo’s, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 100 channels on cable, no DVD movies, no surround stereo, no IPOD’s,  no cellphones, no computers, no Internet, no chat rooms, and no Friendsters. …….. …WE HAD REAL FRIENDS and we went outside to actually talk and play with them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no stupid lawsuits from these accidents. The only rubbing we get is from our friends with the words..sakit bai ? pero kung kontra gani nimo ang imong kadula,,,,singgitan lang dayon ug..Mayra,Gabaan!
We played marbles (jolen) in the dirt , washed our hands just a little and ate Pan Bahug-bahug & Bagumbayan (recycled bread man diay to kay wala mahalin!) We were not afraid of getting germs in our stomachs.
We had to live with homemade guns (giporma nga kahoy, gihigtan ug garter ug lastiko) , saplong , tirador ug uban pa nga pwedeng magkasakitay. Pero lingaw gihapon kaayo ang tanan.

We made up games with sticks ( syatong ), and cans ( Bato-Lata )and although we were told they were dangerous, wala man gyud to’y actual nga nabuta bah, bukol lang nuon sa agtang naa.

We walked, rode bikes, or took tricycles to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or batoon ug gagmay nga bato ang bungbong, or just yelled for them to jump out the window!
Mini basketball teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t pass had to learn to deal with the disappointment. Wala pa nang mga childhood depression ug damaged self esteem ek-ek ra na. Ang maglagot, pildi.  

Ang mga Ginikanan naa ra sa daplin para motan-aw ra sa duwa sa mga bata, dili para manghilabot ug makig-away sa ubang parents.

That generation of ours has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers, creative thinkers and successful professionals ever! They are the CEO’s, Engineers, Doctors and Military Generals of today.  


The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had failure, success, and responsibility. We learned from our mistakes the hard way.
You might want to share this with others who’ve had the luck to grow up as real kids. We were lucky indeed.

HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN…

December 1st, 2008 by chocopeaches
  HOW TO DANCE IN THE RAIN… Dec 2, ‘08 12:50 AM
for everyone

How to Dance in the RainIt was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80’s arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am. 

 

 I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would to able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound. On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor’sappointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry. 

 

 The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife. I inquired as to her health.

He told me thatshe had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer’s Disease. 

 

 As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.

He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now .

 

 I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning, even though she doesn’t know who you are?’

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 

 ‘She doesn’t know me, but I still know who she is.’ 

 

 I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought,

‘That is the kind of love I want in my life.’

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. 

 

 True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be. 

 

 With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message. This one I thought I could share with you. 

 

 The happiest people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have. 

 

 

 I hope you share this with someone you care about. I just did. 

 

 ‘Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, 

 but how to dance in the rain.’   

 

Fate determines who walks into your lifeyou determine who you let walk outwho you let stay
and who you refuse to let go….

always manage to do.

I am thankful…

because that means she is at home & not on the streets.

been surrounded by friends.

8. For all the complaining I hear about the government because it
means that we have freedom of speech.

because it means I am capable of walking and that I have been blessed with transportation.
Untitled10.gif10. For the noise I have to bear from my neighbours because it means
that I can hear.
Untitled11.gif
11. For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have
clothes to wear.
Untitled12.gif
12. For weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it
means I have been capable of working hard.
Untitled13.gif13. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it
means that I am still alive.
Untitled14.gifAND FINALLY ……. for received e-mails because it means I have friends who are thinking of me, at least.

HAVE A NICE DAY !!!

Nasali si Inday sa Deal or No Deal

November 24th, 2008 by chocopeaches

Nasali si Inday sa Deal or No Deal

Kris: Magandang gabi mga kapamilya, sa gameshow na ito importante ang sagot sa nag-iisang katanungang Deal or no Deal. Ang ating player ngayong gabi ay walang iba kundi ang fastest-rising household services manager na si Inday!

 

[umentra si Inday at nagpalakpakan ang mga tao]

 

Kris: Ok Inday, choose a briefcase.

 

Inday: Kris, I would opt for case #4 please.

 

Kris: Briefcase # 4… si Sharmel. Inday, matanong ko lang, how did you come up with the number 4?

 

Inday: Oh, do you really want to know Kris?

 

Kris: Oo naman. I’m sure kaya ko naman maintindihan yung sasabihin mo eh.

 

Inday: The number 4 was acquired based on a probability distribution function that involves integrating up to an area greater than or equal to that random number which should be generated between 0 and 1 for proper distributions.

 

Kris: Syet. tanong tanong pa kasi eh.

 

Kris: Ok Inday, choose 6 briefcases to open.

 

Inday: I would opt for 7, 24, 12, 2, 15 and 20.

 

Kris: Wait lang Inday, usually isa isa lang ang pagbubukas natin ng case…

 

Inday: Why is that? As if I can change the outcome if we’re to open a case each time I blurt out a number as opposed to opening each case immediately one after the other right?

Kris: Hayyy…babaguhin pa talaga mechanics (bulong sa sarili).

 

Kris: Anwyay, di bale na lang nga… tuloy tayo. Number 7. Natalie buksan na!!

 

[Yung audience sumisigaw ng LOWER!! LOWER!!!]

 

Kris: Teka lang, bago natin buksan… Inday, usually ang mga contestants naten ay sumisigaw ng “LOWER” every time magbubukas ng case.

 

Inday: Kris, I guess that’s not the way I was taught in grade school. You see, I was taught that we should only use the comparative form of the word or add “ER” to the adjective if we are comparing two things. And since it is only the first briefcase that we are going to open, we have nothing to compare it to. Am I right?

 

[natahimik ang audience at napaisip]

 

Kris: Oo nga no!

 

Kris: Sige Natalie, Buksan mo na.

 

[Ang laman ng briefcase 7 ay Piso… Palakpakan ang mga tao]

 

Kris: Good start! Ano yung next case mo ulit?

 

Inday: Case number 24 please.

 

Kris: Chloe… buksan na…

 

[Audience sumisigaw ulit ng LOWER!! LOWER!!]

 

Kris: Wait lang guys, Inday may nabuksan ng case baket di ka pa rin sumisigaw ng “Lower”?

 

Inday: Oh my goodness Kris, how long have you been doing this? Have you ever encountered a value that is lower than a peso in this game? Tell me, is there any value left lower than the one we just opened? Sheesh.

 

[Napaisip ulit ang audience at natahimik]

 

Kris: Aarrgghh!!!! Chloe buksan na lang nga, pati na rin yung 12, 2, 15 and 20 buksan na rin para matapos na. [naiirita na]

 

[At sunod sunod na ngang nabukas ang mga case ni Inday]

[nag-ring ang phone]

 

Inday: Ahh Kris, to save more time can you tell Banker that I’m not interested in his first offer. In the history of this game of chance, I have yet to see someone accept a first offer from the banker. It’s quite pathetic and pretentious for contestants to pause and look around the audience as if asking for advice before ultimately rejecting the first offer. I mean come on, isn’t that a waste of airtime?

 

Banker: Potahhh!!! [narinig sa set kahit sarado ang kwarto ni banker]

- Ito ang unang pagkakataon na marinig ng mga audience ang boses ni banker sa Deal or no Deal.

dumating na sa kalagitnaan ng show at mukhang minamalas na si Inday…

 

Kris: Ok Inday, mukhang kelangan na natin ng tulong sa mga friends mo… sino ba yung bigotilyong lalaki na naka-polo? Ano name nya?

 

Inday: Ahh, that’s my master Mr. Montemayor.

 

Kris: Ahhh sya pala yun, how cute naman pala eh. Sige sir, give us a number.

 

Mr. Montemayor: Hi Kris, good evening. I’m a fan. I choose number 22 please.

 

 

Kris: Ano Inday ok ba yung number 22?

 

Inday: Whatever, we shouldn’t bite the hand that feeds us anyway. Go ahead.

 

Kris: [taray naman] Sofie, buksan na!

[ang laman ng briefcase 22 ay 5,000]

 

Kris: Good job! Sino naman yung gwapong lalake na naka jumper na katabi ni Mr. Montemayor? What’s his name?

 

Inday: Ahh, that’s my on again off again boyfriend, Dodong the gardener.

 

Kris: Ooohh, sya pala yun. Ok Dodong, give us a number!

 

Dodong: Hi babes, I choose briefcase 9 if it’s ok with you. If not, it’s ok with me as long as it’s ok with you.

 

Kris: Ano raw? Inday, number 9 daw ok say0?

 

Inday: Yes Kris, it’s fine with me.

 

Kris: Wow ang bait pag kay Dodong. Ederlyn… buksan na!!

 

…nanlaki ang mga mata ni Inday at hindi sya makapaniwala. Natahimik at mukhang kakapusin sya ng hininga…

 

Inday: YOU!!! How dare you invade my moment!

 

[nagulat si Kris at ang mga audience sa reaksyon ni Inday. Nagpatawag si Kris ng commercial break at nagpakuha ng tubig para kay Inday.]Nagkatitigan sina Inday at Ederlyn. Nakangisi si Ederlyn habang hawak ang briefcase ni Inday.

 

Ederlyn: Pinapangako ko, Inday… pagbukas luluhod ang mga tala! hahahahaha!

 

Inday: What? Can you speak up? What are you mumbling up there. Can somebody give her a microphone please?

 

Kris: Ano ba!! Tama na nga ang drama ninyo, Ederlyn buksan mo na ang case at umexit ka na kung ayaw mong mapalitan! (naiirita na si Kris)

 

Dali-daling binuksan ni Ederlyn ang briefcase at ang laman ay… P3,000,000.

Nanghinayang ang mga audience… Ang mga natirang values ay 250, 1K, 20K, 50K, and 500K.

 

Inday: NooOoo…. (sabay tingin kay Dodong at napapaluha), how could you…

 

Dodong: I’m so sorry Inday, please forgive me.

 

Kris: Hayyy, drama again. Ang offer ni banker sa pagbabalik ng Kapamilya, Deal.. or No Deal!

 

[pagtapos ng commercial break… mukhang composed na ulit si Inday]

 

Kris: Inday, are you okay? Ang offer ni banker ay 99 thousand pesos. ‘Sing rami siguro ng pilipinong pinadugo mo na ilong. Is it a Deal or No Deal?

 

Tahimik lang si Inday tilang may kinocompute sa ulo habang ang mga audience ay nagsisigawan ng “No Deal”, ang iba naman ay “Deal”.

 

Kris: Wait lang, kung mapapansin ninyo we have only have 5 cases left, and among those 5, apat doon ay mas maliit na value…

 

Inday: Kris, do you mind? Can I do my own thinking?

 

Natameme si Kris, pati ang audience ay natahimik.

 

Kris: Taray to the max! (pabulong sa sarili)

 

Inday: Ok, I’m ready. Upon looking at the reality of the situation, 80% of the cases left have at least 49K less than the banker’s offer. The only way I can do better than what is offered is that if my case contains the 500k or I’d get to open one of the four lower values. But I have to keep in mind that there’s only 20% probability that this would happen. I have to take note, however, that the banker’s offer is roughly around 15% lower than the offer I expected based on the arithmetic mean of the values left.

 

Kris: Lorddd… panaginip ba ‘to? Ayokonaaa….

 

Inday: Accepting a deal for less than the mean should generally be regarded as a weak decision so I would say, NO DEAL!

 

Limang briefcase na lang ang natitira at kasama na doon ang case ni Inday…

 

Kris: My God, nakaka-stress itong episode na ito ha. Baka dumugo na rin ang ilong ko sa’yo Inday. Sige Inday, go ahead and choose 1 briefcase!

 

Inday: Ok Kris, I choose briefcase #5 please?

 

 

Kris: Briefcase #5! Mimi bago mo buksan yan I would first like to thank Figliarina by Schubizz for my sandals, Bambi Fuentes for my hair and make-up and Pepsi Herrera for my gown tonight.

 

Kris: Ok Mimi, buk…

 

Inday: Ahh Kris, can I also take time to thank a few people? I mean, I did save us a few minutes of airtime right?

 

Kris: (“kapal naman talaga ng mukha”…bulong sa sarili)  Sige, ok lang go ahead. (naka-smile pa rin)

 

Inday: Thanks! Yes, I would like to thank Frank Provost for my hair and make-up, Jimmy Choo for my  sandals and my dear friend Oscar dela Renta for my gown tonight.

 

BLAG!! Tinumba ni Kris ang podium at nagwalk-out. Hindi na natapos ang show kaya’t binigyan na lang ni Banker si Inday ng kalahating milyon para sa kanyang oras.

 

Inday: Oh, and thanks to the people of Cartier for sending me these nice earrings for tonight!

 

[Ito ang isa sa mga un-aired episode ng Kapamilya, Deal or No Deal]
