SEVERE ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME - SARS

What is Atypical Pneumonia?

Pneumonia essentially means a lung infection caused by germs. Pneumonia usually presents with symptoms that enable the condition to be easily diagnosed by doctors. The organism causing the pneumonia is also usually identifiable and treatable with medications like antibiotics. Atypical pneumonias are caused by organisms that are not so easily identifiable, and the consequences of the infection can often be more severe. In the case of SARS, the organism causing the pneumonia has yet to be identified.

How serious is this condition?

This condition can spread easily through droplet infection and can cause a person to be very sick very quickly. Ministry of Health Singapore has advised us to be more vigilant and to look out for patients suspected to have this condition to be referred for further investigation and assessment.

How do I know if I have SARS?

The condition tends to present initially with the symptoms of the common flu, namely:
· Fever and chills,
· Shortness of breath,
· Cough, sore throat and blocked, or runny nose.
· Muscle and joint aches,
· Weakness and fatigue,

However, you should be especially wary if you also have the following conditions:

If you have a high fever (>38 degrees Celsius) that comes very suddenly.

If you have come into close contact with anyone who have been suspected of having SARS or presented with the same conditions above.

What should I do if I suspect I may have SARS?

If you do have the symptoms described above, you should seek urgent medical attention from any of our clinics. The attending doctor will examine you and may refer you to have a Chest X-Ray done as soon as possible. Depending on what the Chest X-Ray reveals, we may have to refer you for further assessment by the respiratory physician.

What precautions can I take to avoid getting SARS?

To date, the germ(s) causing SARS have not been identified but on-going investigations suggest that it may be viral in origin. There is no known vaccination or medication that you can take which can offer you protection, instead, the common sense approach is advocated:

· Avoid crowded places. Keep a fair distance from people who are ill and are sneezing and coughing openly. The virus is spread through air droplets and you can pick up the virus through inhalation.

· Wash your hands frequently to reduce your risk of picking up the virus. The virus can be transmitted by hand contact as well.

· Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Exercise regularly, eat wisely and if you can, keep your stress levels low. Your primary defence against the any infection is your body’s immune response, which is related to how healthy you are. Vitamins can help in maintaining a healthy immune system.

自然抗癌法 莊淑旂博士

夜的疲勞最傷身

雖然睡了很長一段時間，但早晨還是起不來，頭昏腦脹的，這就表示前一天的疲勞還沒完全的清除。要想活得久、還要活得好，一定要記得「今天的疲勞，今天消除」！針對身體不同器官不同部位，消除疲勞各有方法，但就整體來說，排便和脹氣，是非常基本又重要的兩件大事。

每天都要上廁所

就健康管理而言，「排便」是一件很重要的體內「信息」。如果不把體內廢物排除，身體就不能充分攝取新的食物，所以在廁所內看報紙、雜誌和抽菸是最要不得的。莊博士曾針對罹患肺癌和大腸癌的患者做過調查，有在排便時抽菸看書報習慣的，佔了壓倒性的多數。

不在體內堆廢氣

莊博士所注重的是放屁和打嗝等體內脹氣。所謂「體內脹氣」就是指因消化動、基礎代謝等產生的廢物，以及經由呼吸道進入體內的空氣。脹氣在一定程度下是沒有什麼問題的，但如果是由不規則生活或偏差的飲食生活及壓力，使消化活動減退，而產生大量的廢氣，那麼，想把廢氣排出體外就會變得不順利了。莊博士過去在醫院服務時，曾診察過八位被認為很健康、卻在睡眠中驟死的「暴卒病」患者，解剖時都發現他們的胃囊異常膨脹，再追蹤他們生前的生活習性，發現他們長年累月不吃早餐，因為工作忙碌，午餐也不能慢慢吃，一天的營養都靠晚餐來補給，以致大吃大喝後很快就去睡。而人在熟睡中，吃下的食物卻吸收了胃液和水分而膨脹、發酵，產生的廢氣使胃鼓脹，壓迫肺或心臟，才導致「暴卒病」的發作。所以避免在睡前暴飲暴食，不要製造和堆積廢氣在體內，是保有健康很重要的一步。

晚餐前洗澡消疲勞


莊博士指出，洗澡能暖和身體，促進血液循環，改善大腸蠕動，排出體內廢氣，對消除疲勞很有幫助，她並建議「最好在晚餐前入浴」。入浴前若是肚子很餓，不妨先慢慢的喝下一杯蔬菜汁或果汁，稍微休息一下，再去洗澡。如果一定要在飯後洗澡，最好能在兩小時後再入浴。因為要消化吃下去的食物，血液會集中在消化器官，如果馬上洗澡，血液就會擴散到全身，妨礙腸胃的功能，造成廢氣滯留體內，有時會壓迫到心臟，是很危險的。

莊博士建議的入浴方法是「三段式入浴法」。

首先浸泡到膝蓋以下三分鐘，雙手及兩肘可放入水中，按摩腳踝；然後坐下，讓水淹過肚臍，大約浸泡三分鐘；最後全身坐入浴缸，依照各人喜好浸泡。 至於洗澡水的溫度，以在攝氏41至43度的水溫中沐浴，最能消除疲勞。平均來說，入浴時間以10至20分鐘最理想

避免洗腎的秘方

這秘方如果早25年收到，也許我家孩子現在就不會怨歎：人皆有母我獨無! 我家種荔枝50餘年，取得荔枝核何其容易，居然不知是寶，連自己的枕邊人也枉費14年歲月洗腎，最終還是不支奉召回歸西天。

台灣洗腎的病友很多，也許您身邊周圍就有人在洗腎，如同作者所言死馬當活馬醫，可能有願意試試的人，拜託您把此方傳出，度一人就等於救了一個家庭，功德無量!

謝謝傳出此秘方的所有有關人士，謝謝!

各大醫院差不多設有「血液透析室」，裡頭布滿了各種大小粗細不一的管子，這就是洗腎的場所，將人體的血液經由靜脈通往機器，將身體血液中的廢物、有害物質清除，第一次被推進「血液透析室」。那種心情是複雜中帶些恐慌與無奈。

會走到洗腎這條路，主要是腎功能已經無法發揮，導致尿液無法排除，經過一段時間的導尿之後，仍然未見起色，不得不改採洗腎的方式解。

我腎功能之所以失效，主要是由於長期糖尿病所造成的，二十年的糖尿病史使得我對人生了無生趣，有幾次真的想自我了斷，然想到萬一我走了，幾個小孩子未成家立業，又想到如果我以自殺了此一生，我的親人、朋友情何以，自己患病雖然痛苦，但如果我的逃避會帶給家人更大的痛苦，那麼，我還是病魔纏身而勇敢的走下去。

對於秘方，我有強烈的排斥感，二十年來，我只聽從西醫的話，期間雖有很多的親友提供偏方、秘方，我一概敬謝不敏，直到進了「洗腎室」似乎跟死神搏鬥，我突然想通了，與其坐以待斃，不如死馬當活馬醫，說不定真的有一絲希望。

第二次洗腎之後，小嬸的娘家來看我，問我要不要服用秘方，保證一定可以不用再洗腎了。我當場表示願意試試看。

當天中午小嬸拎著一鍋腰子湯要我吃，我分成二次把湯喝完，第二天再喝一鍋（約一碗半）同時吃了半個豬腰，當天排尿就有了改善，第三天原本還要洗腎，醫生看了之後，表示暫時可以不必洗。大約喝了一週左右的腰子湯，結果醫生很驚訝地說，腎功能已漸恢復，可以辦出院。

小嬸娘家的偏方是：新鮮荔枝的種子七粒、打碎後用紗布包紮，再買一副豬腰，切成薄片、切除白筋洗靜後，與荔枝種子同時放在大碗公內，加上第二次洗米水兩婉，一起放在電鍋中蒸，大約蒸半小時，然後一次把湯喝完，就能奏效。

我個人洗腎拜此秘方才能提早免疫，真是功德無量，但願對同病相憐者有幫助。

天界傳下此秘方 救人一命好心腸

簡單有效免花銀普告天下廣傳揚

成熟番茄含量低 免驚！

●謝定宏／衛生署食品衛生處副處長
茄科植物一般都含有有毒生物鹼，大量的生物鹼對中樞神經具有毒性，患者可能出現步態不穩、呼吸困難等中毒症狀。
但民眾不必恐慌，成熟果實的生物鹼含量都很低，食用後不會有中毒現象。需要留意的是未成熟或發了芽的馬鈴薯以及未成熟的番茄，裡頭的生物鹼含量稍多些。
但因生物鹼結構不一樣，未成熟的番茄跟馬鈴薯比較，毒性低很多； 而且成熟後番茄的生物鹼含量也比發芽的馬鈴薯少。
目前並無食用番茄導致人體中毒的文獻。烹煮加熱過程，生物鹼會分解，人體也會排除部分生物鹼，不必太擔心，未成熟的青澀番茄口感不好，也很難一口氣吃太 多。
番茄成熟沒，不能單靠顏色判斷。番茄顏色非常多，並非綠番茄就不能吃，比如「黑柿」番茄，綠綠的透一點紅，在市場上很受主婦歡迎。

蕃茄的壞消息 - 很重要 !!!

生蕃茄有龍葵鹼毒，故不要生吃！切記！切記！......kook
關於蕃茄的壞消息，有點兒駭人聽聞，多知道些也好！ 這可是第一次收到關於蕃茄的壞消息耶！有空看看吧！平衡一下你的視野。 日本厚生省研究員鬼堂院由花表示，生鮮蕃茄含有可致死的龍葵鹼， 茄科植物普遍含有此種毒素，如雙花龍葵，血見愁等， 聽說過發芽的馬鈴薯不要吃嗎？馬鈴薯發芽時便會合成此種致命毒素， 龍葵鹼並非立即致死，但卻會慢慢累積在體內， 當你滿以為自己在攝取茄紅素時，可知自己正順便攝取龍葵鹼， 為養顏美容的虛幻目標，以生命作為代價嗎？ 英國臨床醫學博士湯瑪斯•莎耶博士亦證實了鬼堂院由花女士的說法， 並且提出可信服的證據，那就是澳洲的蕃茄農場傑克遜農場， 因地處內陸沙漠，銷售剩餘的蕃茄常由場內員工和場內放牧動物自行消化， 而數十年來暴斃人數竟達十數人之多， 而死因未明（農場主人堅持不讓法醫解剖，原因何在也？）， 而三年前老傑克遜亦已逝世，傑克遜家花落飄零，今年最後一位少東亦已逝世。 莎耶博士解剖了小傑克遜的屍體，證實小傑克遜確實死於龍葵鹼中毒。 關於老傑克遜及數十年來的十數條人命，沒有證據證明因何死亡， 但莎耶博士推斷，死於龍葵鹼中毒應也是極有可能的事。 請支持湯瑪斯•莎耶博士和鬼堂院由花女士，就算不能在實際上支持他們的研究， 也請大家努力轉寄不要讓他們心血白費，讓大家都知道吃生蕃茄的危險性， 請大家一定要努力轉寄出去！以後吃蕃茄，記得煮熟再吃！ 難怪我曾看過一篇報導： 在美國番茄不是水果，不直接拿來吃，而是蔬菜類，煮熟了吃。 我只知道未轉紅色的番茄含有很危險毒素、 煮熟的番茄營養才有效，但不知道生番茄還是有毒性，以後番茄都煮熟才吃喔！

决定智商的基因

决定智商的基因--特别适合未婚的同学看

决定智商的八对基因(还是八个？忘记了)全部都是位于X染色体上面，在此先复习男女性是如何来的？
男生是XY，X(卵)是来自母亲，Y(精子)是来自父亲。
女生是XX，X(卵)是来自母亲，X(精子)是来自父亲。
所以生男生女都是先生的错，不要怪罪妈妈的肚皮不争气!!!!
请注意:男生是XY，所以男生的智商全部都是来自母亲的遗传，女生是XX，所以女生的智商是父亲跟母亲各有一半影响。
因为女生的智商是父亲母亲都有影响，所以会有中和的效应。所以女生智商的分布会呈现自然分布(normaldistribution)，就是倒钟状，中间最多，两边较少。
然后男生因为是完全只受一方影响，所以男生智商分布会呈现在偏向在两个极端。也就是说，男生天才比较多，但是同时，蠢材之中也是男生特别多。
这个故事告诉我们什么？

1.「你要判断一个男生聪不聪明，看他妈妈就知道了。」可是，你又要怎么判断一个男生的妈妈聪不聪明？........想不出简便的方法.....
2.然后我们用机率来算：
生男孩的机率=1/2；生女孩的机率=1/2。
生男孩的时候，母亲对于男孩智商的影响力=1
生女孩的时候，母亲对于女孩智商的影响力=1/2
所以说母亲跟父亲对于下一代智商的影响力(期望值)的比例是
1*1/2+1/2*1/2:0*1/2+1/2*1/2 =0.75：0.25 =3：1 =母 ：父
所以说，如果你：

1.是男生，如果你觉得你很笨的话。你千万要娶一个聪明的女生来。这样你小孩翻盘的机率还有七成五，人生还是充满了希望。
2.是女生，如果你觉得你很笨的话，因为，你翻人家盘的机率有七成五.....啊，我不能再说了.........。总之，最近天气不错，出去走走。
3.当你看到一个男生很聪明的时候，则，他父亲很聪明的机率是0%(应该说，就算他父亲很聪明，也对他是没有影响的)，可是他母亲很聪明的机率是100%。
所以说，如果你在考虑要嫁给一个很聪明的男生的时候，你就要小心他妈妈，可能会是一个很会算计的婆婆。
反之，当你看到一个男生很笨的时候，没错，他通常会很有钱，这是上帝的安排，上帝为了不让人类灭亡，所以他会让很笨的人很有钱，这样他才能娶到聪明的女生。
总之，当你看到很笨的男生的时候，不要犹豫，嫁给他。
不要觉得你是为了他的钱，你要跟自己说，你是为了要改善人类未来的基因。
上三个结论为：人类智商理性铁蛋定律。
我重复一次：

1.判断男生智商，看妈妈。
2.笨男生无论如何也要娶聪明女生。
3.女生不要嫁聪明男生，应该嫁给笨男生。

Why a glass a day will keep the doctor away

Here we look at the other surprising ways in which alcohol - when taken in moderation - may benefit your body.

This follows a wealth of scientific research into the health benefits of red wine, which in moderate amounts can help lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia and stroke.

Moderate drinkers are 30% more likely than teetotalers to survive a heart attack, whatever their tipple, and they have better overall health and wellbeing, including increased mental alertness in older age and fewer colds. One reason may be that alcohol intake within safe limits helps alleviate stress, on of the biggest contributors to ill health. It's not just the booze that can help turn your favorite tipple into a medicinal draft. Some non-alcoholic mixers can offer health benefits, too.

Men should not exceedthree to four units a day and women should not exceed two to threeunits a day.

Here's a guide to what your favorite drink can do for you, and why.

RED WINE

BENEFITS: Fights cancer, raises good cholesterol, boosts brain power,helps insomnia and protects against hearing and tooth decay.

The health benefits of red wine are down to resveratrol, a plantchemical in the skins and pips of grapes. Salicylate, an antioxidantin red wine, can help to prevent deafness by protecting the tiny hairsin the inner ear that are vital for hearing.It can also sharpen your wits, says Dr Clinton Wright, professor ofneurology at Columbia University, New York, who found moderate redwine drinkers score higher in mental agility tests than teetotalers.A team of U.S. researchers discovered that chemicals in the seeds andskins of grapes blocked the ability of corrosive bacteria to bind withtooth enamel, protecting teeth from decay.Red wine can also help insomnia, according to the University of Milan .Grape skins contain melatonin, a hormone that keeps body clocks incheck and induces sleep.
Women put on less weight if they stick to red winerather than soft drinks or other beveragesThe health benefits of red wine have long been a consolation to thosewho enjoy an occasional glass or two. But the news has got evenbetter.A study has shown that moderate women drinkers put on less weight thanthose who stick to soft drinks - and those who drank red wine put onthe least weight. The findings by Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Bostonsuggest drinkers turn the calories into heat, not fat.

GOOD FOR: Protecting against heart disease and dementia

A wealth of medical research demonstrates that if you have 200ml to 400ml (a glass or two) of red wine each day, and may helpto guard against adult-onset diabetes, stroke, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease.Also, the flavonoids in red wine act as antioxidants (mopping up destructive chemicals called free radicals) and are beneficial to blood flow. If red wine isn't your thing, similar effects may be obtained from a diet rich in fruits and fresh vegetables.

BEER

BENEFITS: Contains vitamins and minerals needed to protect the heartand bones, plus fibre.

A pint of ale contains more than a quarter of an adult’s recommendeddaily dose of vitamin B folate, which stops the build-up ofhomocysteine, linked to heart attacks.Beer also contains boron, another trace mineral needed to maintainhealthy bones. A pint supplies a tenth of the recommended dailyallowance of niacin, which is needed to help release energy from food,as well as 10 per cent of an adult’s daily fibre needs.A pint a day reduces the risk of kidney stones by up to 40 per centbecause beer is low in calcium and high in magnesium - key factors inavoiding stone formation.Like red wine, one beer a day cuts the risk of heart disease andstrokes, thanks to its antioxidants.But does it give you a beer belly? Martin Bobak, an epidemiologist atUniversity College London, compared 2,000 beer drinkers with non-drinkers. There was little difference in their waist-hip ratios.

GOOD FOR: Bones
New research suggests drinking beer is good way to help ensure strong and healthy bones.
Recent research at King's College and St Thomas's Hospital in London found an individual's intake of the mineral silicon is directly linked to bone strength.As beer is one of the richest sources of silicon, a pint a day (supplying 20% of the average daily intake of silicon) may be one of the most effective ways for young people to help keep their bones strong and protect against osteoporosis.
In post-menopausal women, the beneficial effects of higher silicon appear to be lost.Beer also supplies boron, another trace mineral found in healthy bone, and a pint supplies about a tent of the recommended daily allowance of niacin, which boosts energy. Low-alcohol beers are just as good for you nutritionally.

GIN

BENEFITS: Anti-inflammatory, diuretic

Gin is a distilled form of pure alcohol with few chemical congeners -or impurities - to give you a hangover.It is flavored with juniper, a berry known for its diureticproperties and used in herbal medicine to treat kidney and bladderstones, and bloating.Juniper has anti-inflammatory properties that help relieve arthritis,rheumatism and gout.

GOOD FOR: Preventing water retention

The juniper berries which flavor gin were originally a herbal remedy for diseases of kidneys and liver. They have a diuretic action, so a gin is even more likely to make you pass water than other alcohol.
Because of this, gin may offer a short-term solution to the bloating that some women experience in the run-up to their period, though this hasn't been proved scientifically. The downside is gin is devoid of vitamins, minerals or antioxidants.

WHITE WINE

BENEFITS: Lowers cholesterol; benefits lungs; anti-inflammatory

The grape flesh used in white wine contains the chemicals tyrosol andhydroxytyrosol, which lower artery-clogging LDL cholesterol.When drunk moderately, white wine may help keep lungs healthy over alifetime. Its antioxidants protect against harmful molecules that candamage lung tissues.White wine also contains caffeic acid, which can help to suppressinflammation. This may help ease pain suffered by people withinflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.

GOOD FOR: Easing joint pain

White wine contains tyrosol and caffeic acid, which are also found in extra-virginolive oil. According to studies at the University of Milan, these substances can partially suppress the inflammatory reaction that occurs in painful conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.Only a moderate intake of white wine (one to three glasses a day) is needed to have a beneficial effect.

BRANDY

BENEFITS: Protects against heart attacks and blood clots

As a distillation of red wine, brandy contains high concentration ofphenolics or antioxidants, which mop up free radicals that damageorgans and tissues - 30ml provide the equivalent antioxidant potentialas the daily recommended intake of vitamin C.The University of Bordeaux has shown that a regular tot of Armagnachas a similar effect to aspirin because it helps stave off heartattacks and blood clots. It is believed this is due to brandy beingstored in oak casks, which are high in anti- oxidant plant compoundsthat mop up damaging free radicals in the body.

CHAMPAGNE

BENEFITS: Helps brain injuries

Researchers triggered a stroke in two groups of mice. The group whichhad champagne - which is packed with antioxidants - had moreprotection against brain cell damage.To our health! Champagne is packed with antioxidants and helps protectagainst brain cell damage

BAILEYS

BENEFITS: Protects against cancer

This Irish liqueur contains whiskey, which has high levels of ellagicacid. This inhibits the growth of tumors caused by carcinogens andkills cancer cells without damaging healthy cells.The Hollings Cancer Institute at the University of South Carolinacarried out clinical trials on 500 cervical cancer patients over nineyears. They found ellagic acid stopped cancer cells dividing.

SHERRY

BENEFITS: Protects heart.

Sherry shares many of the anti-inflammatory benefits as red wine. Itcontains high levels of polyphenols, believed to reduce the risk ofcoronary artery disease.These protect the heart by preventing ‘bad’ cholesterol from becomingsticky and building up as a deposit on blood vessel walls. They alsoincrease the body’s production of ‘good’ cholesterol.

CIDER

BENEFITS: Protects against high blood pressure and heart disease; goodfor muscle control.

According to the Institute of Food Research at Norwich, cider has thesame level of antioxidants as green tea, blackcurrant juice or redwine, helping to fight disease.It is also high in potassium, needed for nerve function, musclecontrol and to regulate blood pressure. Low levels of potassium arelinked to hypertension, diabetes, stroke and heart disease.

GOOD FOR: Boosting iron intake and protecting against anaemia

Scrumpy cider can make you feel ill because of its high concentration of chemical extracts and impurities.However, all types of cider can reduce your chance of developing iron-deficiency anaemia (with its attendant unpleasant symptoms of fatigue, lack of concentration and dizziness).Just one pint of sweet or dry cider, for example, supplies one fifth of the recommended daily allowance of iron. Vintage cider has slightly less.

GUINESS

BENEF IT S: Protects against blood clots and heart attacks

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin found a daily Guinness witha meal reduced clots and the risk of heart attacks.This is because it contains antioxidants - similar to those found in fruit

GOOD FOR: Boosting appetite

All that stuff about Guiness being good for pregnant women and elderly people is Irish Blarney. It's based on the idea that stout is rich in blood-building iron, but this isn't true - the deep black color comes from roasted, malted barley, which gives flavor, but that's about all.However, there's some truth to the idea that Guiness can help you to convalesce. Like all types of alcohol, it boosts appetite, and a pint contains 190calories. So if you've lost weight because of illness, it can help to buildup.

WHISKY

GOOD FOR: Preventing insomnia and protecting against heart disease

Like red wine, it contains antioxidants (derived from the wooden barrels it is matured in), though they are present in smaller amounts.

Adding a spoon of honey and lemon will help soothe a sore throat.
On its own (or with ice), a Scotchis one of the most waistline-friendly alcoholic drinks, with a single shotsupplying just 55 calories.

VODKA

GOOD FOR: A sensitive gut and avoiding a hangover

Because vodka is so highly distilled, it means it may be deemed suitable (in small amounts) for people on sugar-free, yeast-free diets designed to tackle conditions such as thrush, candida and irritable bowel syndrome.One scientific analysis found that vodka had only one six thousandth of the content of the toxic alcohol methanol as bourbon. This, combined with the fact vodka has virtually no coloring or flavoring chemicals, means that it is unlikely to give you a bad hangover.

How does pure water act?
Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as Haematopaises. That the mucousal folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that new fresh blood is produced by the mucousal fold. If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucousal folds they are turned into fresh blood. The blood is all important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern.

We make an earnest request that the above method should be read and practiced carefully. Please spread this message to your friends, relatives and neighbors - It is a great service to the cause of humanity. Life is short, just go for it!

Liver health

1. Lungs & Big Intestines share the system. If one or the other is infected or sick, the other will also be sick.
