A型肝炎的原兇竟然是..Hepatitis A - Green Onion, Cilantro,diseases.

Very important warning to all ! I always find chop-up green onion bits sprinkled on Chinese congee served in Chinese eating shops - LOOK OUT ! AND DON'T EAT IT !!!   
Hepatitis A - Green Onion, Cilantro,diseases.

Friends, This warning about eating uncooked Green onion comes in Chinese and English,(if you scroll down). Please read both. Raw green onion is full of tiny bugs and eggs in its hollow stem and can cause Hepatitis A. A型肝炎的原兇竟然是..Hepatitis A - Green Onion, Cilantro,diseases.. INFO AND WATCH OUT THE DANGER OF HEPATITIS-A OUTBREAKS ASSOCIATED WITH EATING RAW OR UNDERCOOKED GREEN ONIONS (SCALLIONS) !!!   A型肝炎---禍首竟然是................ 從來沒想過，但看起來，的確是有可能的．．． 最近數起A型肝炎的食品中毒事件，禍首竟然是青蔥。 青蔥最好別生吃，在顯微鏡下有好多噁心的虫虫 沒錯.以前修microbiology 時，在顯微鏡下， 看過蔥管內有好多噁心的虫虫..蛋蛋....。 還有:香菜也是(常見大量 fungus)， 而且與香菜同保存的食物也會遭到染污 ，而且更噁''''。 所以奉勸愛生吃香菜、青蔥的姊妹們，先把牠燙死再吃！ 飲食衛生青蔥最好別生吃。 中國人愛吃脆皮烤鴨， 往往將脆皮烤鴨肉包著生的青蔥段裹著甜麵醬吃； 吃炒米粉、貢丸湯、肉羹湯、麵湯、餛飩湯、火鍋料理、燒烤料理及魚肉料理時，也免不了要來點兒青蔥花提味。 中國人生吃青蔥的機會實在太多了，麵攤、火鍋店，各個餐廳? VIP房裡索性就擺一大碗青蔥花，讓消費者自行取用，但是，愛吃青蔥花的人在下箸前可得三思了， 因為美國食品藥物管理局日前呼籲消費者注意，最近數起 A型肝炎的食品中毒事件，禍首竟然是青蔥。 A型肝炎病毒是一種肝臟疾病， 通常在感染A型肝炎病毒六週後會有症狀，輕微者是發燒、腹瀉、噁心、嘔吐、無食慾、腹痛、 疲倦、皮膚變黃。嚴重者則引發為肝臟疾病。 美國食品藥物管理局建議消費者應將青蔥放入鍋中加蓋完全煮熟，或在烹煮魚、肉類或其他料理 放入青蔥時，也應將青蔥完全煮熟後再吃， 以降低罹患 A型肝炎的風險再提醒一次。 A型肝炎---禍首竟然是:青蔥及香菜 美國食物管理局(FDA - U..S. Food and Drug Administration) 網站上所公佈的警告。 關於青蔥，最好不要生吃。 這是FDA的網站，可供參考。

Questions and Answers on Hepatitis A Outbreaks
Associated with Eating Raw or Undercooked Green Onions (Scallions)
1. What did FDA announce today? FDA advised consumers that three recent hepatitis A outbreaks have been associated with eating raw or undercooked green onions (scallions).
2. Does this announcement apply to all products containing green onions? No... It only applies to raw or undercooked green onions or products containing them. Commercially prepared products, such as salsa in jars, have received a treatment that eliminates the hepatitis A virus.
3. What can consumers do to decrease their risk of infection from hepatitis A caused by contaminated green onions? Consumers can cook all raw green onions thoroughly before eating them. This minimizes the risk of illness by reducing or eliminating the virus. Consumers can also avoid eating raw or lightly cooked green onions. Consumers who wish to avoid undercooked green onions should also specifically request that raw or lightly cooked green onions not be added to their food prepared in restaurants.
4. Should additional precautions be taken by people with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems such as patients undergoing chemotherapy or AIDS patients? Persons ! with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems are not more likely to acquire hepatitis A. However, persons with these chronic illnesses sometimes have a more severe form of hepatitis A. People with chronic liver disease or weakened immune systems should consider avoiding raw or undercooked green onions until the cause of green onion contamination has been identified and corrected. All persons with chronic liver disease should get hepatitis A vaccination (see below).
5. What caused the outbreak of hepatitis A in the Pittsburgh area? The State of Pennsylvania , the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and FDA are working together to investigate this outbreak. As of November 15, 2003, the investigation is not finished, and it is not yet known what caused this outbreak. Investigators are now trying to determine if the outbreak was caused by a contaminated food such as raw or undercooked green onions.
6. Has FDA asked the restaurant industry to do anything in response to these outbreaks? Yes. FDA has informed the restaurant industry of the association of hepatitis A with raw or undercooked green onions in recent outbreaks so that restaurants can take actions to protect their customers.
7. What are the symptoms of hepatitis A? The average incubation period for hepatitis A is 28 days (range: 15-50 days). This means that symptoms of hepatitis A develop within 50 days of exposure.. Persons with hepatitis A virus infection may not have any signs or symptoms of the disease. Adults are more likely to have symptoms than children... If symptoms ! are present, they usually occur abruptly and may include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Symptoms usually last less than 2 months; a few persons are ill for as long as 6 months. There is no chronic infection with the hepatitis A virus.
8... How serious is hepatitis A? Most persons with hepatitis A make a full recovery and will never get hepatitis A again... However, in rare instances (an average of 3 in every 1000 reported cases), hepatitis A can be fatal..
9. What should consumers do if they recently ate food containing raw or lightly cooked green onions? Consumers who have recently eaten raw or lightly cooked green onions and feel well only need to monitor their health.. Consumers who are experiencing symptoms that might be hepatitis A should consult their health care provider.
10. Is there a test for hepatitis A? Yes, there is a blood test for hepatitis A, called an IgM anti-HAV. However, the only people who need this test are those who are showing symptoms of hepatitis A. Persons who feel well should not be tested, even if they recently ate green onions.
11. What is immune globulin (often called IG or ISG) and who should receive it? Immune globulin is a preparation of antibodies that can be given before exposure to provide short-term protection against hepatitis A to reduce the risk of infection among persons who have recently been exposed to hepatitis A. For maximum protection immune globulin must be given within 2 weeks after exposure. Persons who have recently eaten green onions do not need to get immune globulin unless they have been specifically exposed within the previous 2 weeks to individuals or food involved in an outbreak and believe by public heal! th officials to have been potentially contaminated.
12. Are there treatments for hepatitis A? There is no medication that treats hepatitis A. Some patients with hepatitis A may need to be hospitalized to treat dehydration or liver complications.
13. Is there a vaccine for hepatitis A? Yes, but it should be given before an exposure to work most effectively. Hepatitis A vaccine has been licensed in the United States for use in persons 2 years of age and older. The vaccine is recommended for persons who are more likely to get hepatitis A virus infection or are more likely to get seriously ill if they do get hepatitis A. More information on vaccination can be found at http://www./.cdc.gov/ncidod/diseases/hepatitis/a/faqa.htm. CDC does not recommend that persons who have eaten green onions get vaccinated, unless a healthcare professional recommends that they get vaccinated because of other risk factors for hepatitis A..
14.. Have there been other recent outbreaks of hepatitis A caused by contaminated food in the U.S. ? Have these outbreaks been associated with raw green onions? Yes. Hepatitis A outbreaks associated with raw or undercooked green onions served in restaurants occurred in Tennessee , North Carolina and Georgia in September. The source of the green onions from the Tennessee outbreak appears to be Mexico . The agency has been in consultation with Mexican authorities to obtain their assistance in assessing the situation. In addition, FDA is monitoring certain import entries of green onions for evidence of potential contamination.

DONT USE DISPOSABLE CHOPSTICKS

This is a true case, if you don't believe try the following test:

Soak a pair of disposable chopsticks (usually given to you when you buy pack food from a Chinese take-away) for between 3 to 5 inutes inside hot boiling water. Within minutes and right in front of your eyes, you will noticed that some white colouring matter seems to be dissolved into the hot water from the chopsticks.

What is released from the chopsticks is actually a chemical, a  bleaching agent. In a campaign promoting healthy care in Singapore recently, Professor Jackson Mathis reminds people not to use  disposable chopsticks, as almost the majority of them are made in or imported from China. He explained that during the manufacturing process of disposable chopsticks before the actual production itself, all raw materials are already cover-grown with germs that make the wood materials look like they are coated in multiple colours or are  covered with poisonous fungus.

The first process itself is already frightening as the manufacturer  starts the process by soaking up the wooden raw materials inside a  very big container that is filled with a very toxic and highly poisonous chemical. This chemical is intentionally added in, in order to preserve the materials. After a few days of soaking, they are then washed with an even worse cleaning agent, in this case it is a bleaching   gent (which chemical ph level is believe to be more than a thousand times over the general permissible/ acceptable international standards).

And guess what? These chemicals itself is likely to cause greater harm to our health (if we continue consuming such chemicals into our body on a daily basis) not forgetting that since these chemicals used are usually carcinogenic in nature, they are likely to cause cancer.

Since his last visit to a disposable chopsticks manufacturing plant in China 5 years ago, Professor Jackson Mathis has immediately stop using such disposable chopsticks anymore. In Professor Jackson case, just in case if he ever forgets to bring along his own pair of chopsticks for lunch or dinner, he usually make sure that he do not  forget to put one pair of it inside his bag since it can be re-use again and again.

Professor Jackson Mathis said: "If you have been using disposable  chopsticks in the past, and you insist on continue using them again, please pause and think for a moment. Why is cancer spreading like wild fire these days throughout the world affecting all sorts of  people. After that think of how many pairs of disposable chopsticks a factory in China is producing by the minute. The answer itself is right here!"

Avoid Drinking Fresh Sugar Cane Juice

This info was shared by a colleague whose father is working with the  Ministry of the Environment in S'pore. Health News - About Sugar Cane Drinks Government health inspection passed on his info. Their job is to inspect all hawkers, their cooked food, their store hygiene, etc. They found sugar cane juice has the highest content of bacteria among all food. In fact, it has exceeded the set limit. Hence, these guys had to find out why. They went round all sugar cane stores and watched the way the hawkers handled their sugar cane, wash their glasses, their entire procedure. But they couldn't
find the problem.
One day, they stayed till closing time and discovered some shocking facts! Whenever, the hawkers closed their stores, they would wash the floor with detergent. As we know, the remaining sugar canes will be placed at the back of the store, vertically standing and as sugar canes are very porous, they tend to absorb whatever liquid around them. Besides the soapy water, the dirt on hawkers' boots, cats' urine, etc, will all be absorbed?? Now, whenever I eat at a hawker centre, I would warn all my friends about this and of course I stopped drinking my favourite sugar cane juice.
A friend, who loved sugar cane juice, was pregnant. She was always  rinking sugar cane juice. Anyway, one day she miscarried and the fetus was  already like 6 or 7 months old, I think. When the doctors did an autopsy to  find out why all of a sudden the fetus had died inside her, they found traces of some chemical substance, which was found in cat urine. Large traces of  it. While it would not be able to harm adults, it was extremely toxic to babies, what more a fetus? So they tried to determine how this cat urine  thing could have ended up in the fetus. This meant that it had to be digested by the mother, right? And the only logical conclusion they could come up with was that since these sugar cane juice stall holders just leave the canes lying around on the wet and dirty floor, it would not be impossible to think that stray cats could have peed on those sugar canes or near those sugar  canes. So think carefully the next time you order that favourite sugar cane juice!
Please share this on to everyone you know in S'pore & M'sia. Let's take action to make this world a better & safer place for ALL of us & the generations to come.

Don't worry, be happy................

The 92-year-old, petite, well-poised and proud lady, who is fully dressed each morning by eight o'clock, with her hair fashionably coiffed and makeup perfectly applied, even though she is legally blind, moved to a nursing home today.
Her husband of 70 years recently passed away, making the move necessary. After many hours of waiting patiently in the lobby of the nursing home, she smiled sweetly when told her room was ready.
As she manoeuvred her walker to the elevator, I provided a visual description of her tiny room, including the eyelet sheets that had been hung on her window.
"I love it," she stated with the enthusiasm of an eight-year-old having just been presented with a new puppy. "Mrs. Jones, you haven't seen the room ..just wait."
"That doesn't have anything to do with it, "she replied. "Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. Whether I like my room or not doesn't depend on how the furniture is arranged... it's how I arrange my mind.
"I already decided to love it. It's a decision I make every morning when I wake up. I have a choice; I can spend the day in bed recounting the difficulty I have with the parts of my body that no longer work, or get out of bed and be thankful for the ones that do.
"Each day is a gift, and as long as my eyes open I'll focus on the new day and all the happy memories I've stored away just for this time in my life. "Old age is like a bank account: you withdraw from what you've put in. "So, my advice to you would be to deposit a lot of happiness in the bank account of memories.
"Thank you for your part in filling my Memory bank. I am still depositing." Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less

Life can begin at 60

Life can begin at 60, it is all in your hands!
 
Many people feel unhappy, health-wise and security-wise, after 60 years of age!.   

Life can begin at 60, it is all in your hands!.
 
Many people feel unhappy, health-wise and security-wise, after 60 years of age, owing to the diminishing importance given to them and their opinions.
But, it need not be so, if only we understand the basic principles of life and follow them scrupulously.
Here are ten mantras to age gracefully and make life after retirement pleasant.
 
1. Never say I am aged' : There are three ages, chronological, biological, and psychological. The first is calculated based on our date of birth; the second is determined by the health conditions; the third is how old we feel we are. While we don't have control over the first, we can take care of our health with good diet, exercise and a cheerful attitude. A positive attitude and optimistic thinking can reverse the third age.
 
2. Health is wealth: If you really love your kith and kin, taking care of your health should be your priority. Thus, you will not be a burden to them.
Have an annual health check-up and take the prescribed medicines regularly. Do take health insurance coverage.
 
3. Money is important: Money is essential for meeting the basic necessities of life, keeping good health and earning family respect and security.
Don't spend beyond your means even for your children. You have lived for them all through and it is time you enjoyed a harmonious life with your spouse.
If your children are grateful and they take care of you, you are blessed. But, never take it for granted.
 
4. Relaxation and recreation: The most relaxing and recreating forces are a healthy religious attitude, good sleep, music and laughter.
Have faith in God, learn to sleep well, love good music and see the funny side of life.
 
5. Time is precious: It is almost like holding a horses' reins. When they are in your hands, you can control them. Imagine that every day you are born again.
Yesterday is a cancelled cheque. Tomorrow is a promissory note. Today is ready cash - use it profitably. Live this moment; live it fully, now, in the present time.
 
6. Change is the only permanent thing: We should accept change - it is inevitable. The only way to make sense out of change is to join in the dance.
Change has brought about many pleasant things. We should be happy that our children are blessed.
 
7. Enlightened selfishness: All of us are basically selfish. Whatever we do, we expect something in return.
We should definitely be grateful to those who stood by us. But, our focus should be on the internal satisfaction and the happiness we derive by doing good for others, without expecting anything in return. Perform a random act of kindness daily.
 
8. Forget and forgive: Don't be bothered too much about others' mistakes. We are not spiritual enough to show our other cheek when we are slapped in one.
But for the sake of our own health and happiness, let us forgive and forget them. Otherwise, we will be only increasing our blood pressure.
 
9. Everything has a purpose: Take life as it comes. Accept yourself as you are and also accept others for what they are. Everybody is unique and is right in his own way.
 
10. Overcome the fear of death: We all know that one day we have to leave this world. Still we are afraid of death. We think that our spouse and children will be unable to withstand our loss. But the truth is no one is going to die for you; they may be depressed for some time. Time heals everything and they will go on.

Best Joke

This particular joke won an award for the best joke in a competition organized in Britain and this joke was sent by an Indian:

One Chinese person walks into a bar in America late one night and he saw Steven Spielberg. As he was a great fan of his movies, he rushes over to him, and asks for his autograph.

Instead, Spielberg gives him a slap and says, "You Chinese people bombed our Pearl Harbor, get outta here."

The astonished Chinese man replied, "It was not the Chinese who bombed your Pearl Harbor, it was the Japanese".

"Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, you're all the same," replied Spielberg.

In return, the Chinese gives Spielberg a slap and says, "You sank the Titanic, my forefathers were on that ship."

Shocked, Spielberg replies, "It was the iceberg that sank the ship, not me."

The Chinese replies, "Iceberg, Spielberg, Carlsberg, you're all the same."

A great note for all to read it will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking

A great note for all to read it will take just 37 seconds to read this and change your thinking.

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the pictures scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.
Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall. The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
Epilogue:
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.
Shared grief is half the sorrow, but happiness when shared, is doubled.
If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.
"Today is a gift, that's why it is called the present."

癌症有解了!真實又珍貴的資料

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，它就能提供了身體的第二道防線。如果免疫系統低落，又沒有攝取足夠的VitB17，癌症就慢慢潛伏形成。

美國每年約有800萬人住院，其中有32萬人是因為醫療意外造成，4萬人死亡，2萬人永久傷害。當然也有 許多 醫師在其崗位上競競業業，以病人的健康為第一優先。

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沒有足夠的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：成人每日吃杏仁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了，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%。中國古代的名醫常以杏仁治病,因此人們讚揚良醫常稱---杏林春暖

防癌的營養素 --- 維生素 B17

維生素B17是防癌的第二道防線。根據美國舊金山的克萊博士 (Dr.Ernst Krebs)控制癌症的理論研究,癌症可以看做是一種多元缺乏症(deficiency disease),癌症患者多數缺乏兩種營養素:消化蛋白質的胰酵素和維生素B17 .維生素B17只對癌細胞具有毒性,會選擇破壞癌細胞,而對正常的組織則不會造成傷害。

維生素B17最好食物來源計有 : 綠豆、皇帝豆、洋扁豆、桃、李、杏、櫻桃、蘋果等,而其中又以綠豆芽及洋扁豆為維生素B17的最佳來源。

苦味食物中含有為數較高的氨基酸，那是人類生長發育和健康延壽不可缺少的營養物質。西方學者曾對40多種氨基酸的味道進行過測試和分析，他們發現，其中有苦味的竟達20多種，都是人類生長發育和健康延壽不可缺少的營養物質。

某些苦味的植物，是維生素B17的重要來源。維生素B17的主要成分是氰化物、苯甲醛和葡萄糖。其中的氰化物，它的化學性質並不活潑。對於正常的人體細胞，它是不起破壞作用的，但對癌細胞卻能產生較強的殺傷力。

苦味食物與人的精神活動的關係也極為密切。以帶苦味的巧克力、咖啡、茶葉、啤酒為例，因為其中含有一定數量的可哥鹼和咖啡因，故使人產生提神、醒腦、舒適輕鬆的感覺。這對消除疲勞、恢復精力是十分有益的。此外，苦味食物有解濕除燥、促進分泌的功效，當熱天人體消化功能出現障礙、味覺衰退和減弱時，吃點苦味食物就會使之恢復正常。

Lessons in Life

 
A group of working adults got together to visit their University
lecturer. The Lecturer was happy to see them. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. 

The Lecturer just smiled and went to the kitchen to get an assortment of cups - some porcelain, some in plastic, some in glass, some plain looking and some looked rather expensive and exquisite.

The Lecturer offered his former students the cups to get drinks for themselves.

When all the students had a cup in hand with water, the Lecturer spoke:
"If you noticed, all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal that you only want the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. What all you wanted was water, not the cup, but we unconsciously went for the better cups."

"Just like in life, if Life is Water, then the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold/maintain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't change."

"If we only concentrate on the cup, we won't have time to  enjoy/taste the water in it."

The One Thing Motivated People Focus On Every Day

There are two types of people in the world:

The ones who get what they want and the ones who don't.

And despite what you may have heard, the difference isn't a matter of luck or coincidence.

People who consistently get what they want do certain things that others do not. They think, feel, and act in a way that brings them success.

If you pick up on their secrets and follow their lead, you'll get the same results.

I'm going to share an idea with you that successful people use every time they set their sights on a new goal or ambition. When you use it, which is really easy to do, you'll experience the same great results they get every time.

The Wrong Way - Don't Do This!

There are two ways to think about your goals. And as you've probably guessed, successful people choose one way while the rest choose the other.

And this is where the trouble starts.

They way most people go about it actually kill their drive on the spot. They do the opposite of what a successful person does and in a few moments the motivation is gone.

So what are they doing wrong? Here's a quick example. Let's say Harry wanted to write a book. If he's like most people, he focuses on the final product - a finished book.

Harry hasn't even written a single word and already he's overwhelmed with the idea of putting it all together. He's got to split his idea into the right chapters, think of a title, find an editor, get the cover designed, and on and on.

After a few seconds of thinking about the goal like this, anyone in their right mind would be scared off. And that's usually what happens.

There's a better way, and it's the way every success thinks about their goals every day.

The Right Way

So if Harry shouldn't focus solely on the end result, what should he think about?

Just one, simple thing - the first step. That's it. Not what he has to do tomorrow, next week, or next year. Harry, if he's going to be successful, should think about what he has to do first.

With this in mind, he's not overwhelmed - he's excited.

Instead of thinking, 'How am I going to do all of this?' he'll be saying 'That's easy. I can do that.'

And when you take the first step, it's a whole new ball game. Momentum starts to build and your confidence goes through the roof. You stop thinking about what you want and actually start doing something about it.

All from taking just the first small step.

But that's not all. Once you focus on and take that first step, you need to...

Focus on the next one!

When you really think about it, every goal is just a series of small steps brought together. There aren't many goals you can start in finish in one single step; they're usually made up of smaller pieces.

And while Harry might not be confident about writing an entire book, he has no problem writing a few words or sentences.

It's not a complicated idea, but that doesn't mean it isn't extremely powerful. So let's use it right now.

What is the first thing you have to do to get what you want? Just the smallest, easiest step you need to take. And if you've already taken it, what's the next small step you have to take?

Don't focus on anything else; just think about the next step in the process. When you do this, you'll be motivated, not overwhelmed. You'll take action, not procrastinate yet again.

Now, this tip will build your confidence and make sure you do something about what you want, but what if you were able to simply say what you wanted and automatically feel driven to make it happen?

It wouldn't have anything to do with willpower or trying to force it; you'd actually want to do whatever it took to succeed.
