John Hopkins Hospital Update- Circulation Purpose
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer .
3. No plastic wrap in microwav ..
Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer ..
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic ..
Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimot! o, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us .
He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers ..
This especially applies to foods that contain fat ..
He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body .
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else .
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc .
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons ..
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked , the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food .
Cover food with a paper towel instead .

Health: At Last, The reason of Cancer has been discovered!

Repost from Etc Etc Etc: YAN ANG MAMI KO! ATAPANG NA TAO!
Mom is on her third day in the hospital. Both of her lungs and heart area was filled with water that she gasped her breath for almost three days. It is her second time; the first was 7 months ago. Alam naming may possibility na maulit yun dahil hindi na namin siya pinachechemo, she undergo alternative medicine for 3 months now. However, her cancer cells still produce water that filled both of her lungs and heart area. I have no idea how this alternative medicines works, what I only know is their medicines are made from herbal. Which I think is safer than chemotherapy. Pero pareho sila ng presyo kung tutuusin. Sa alternative med, hindi lang basta isa ang gamot mo kundi sangkatutak.
Now, mom is doing well as she always does. Sinaid na daw yung tubig sa lungs nya, may butas na kasi yun dati kaya siguro dun na lang pinadaan yung tubo pang alis ng tubig. Sa OR pa lang, inubos na daw nila yung tubig. Good. Sa heart area naman, before she had her major operation sa puso. They made a PERICARDIAL WINDOW sa sac ng heart para in case nga daw na magkaroon ulit ng tubig, madali ng maalisan. And ngayon magagamit na nga nila yun. So minor operation na lang daw ang gagawin this time.
I truly truly admire mom, dahil sa dami ng pinagdadaanan nya; sa dami ng hiwa at turok na ginagawa sa kanya, she can stand still and fight for her life. Naisip ko pano kaya kung ako ang nakakaranas nun. Malamang di ko kayanin. And I am very proud to have her as my mom. She’s the best mom ever.
People come and go to our lives. When my dad died 5 years ago, I thought now one can ever loved us the way he did, but I’m wrong. I am so overwhelmed knowing that sooo many people love us. Many people pray for my mom’s recovery and I am very thankful for that. Salamat talaga.
After this, it might happen again. Hindi pa magaling yung mismong cancer nya. We are praying that alternative medicine would work for her. And please don’t get tired praying for her recovery. We all know that prayer is the most powerful medicine and miracles truly happen. :)
This was when my mom hospitalized last April 2010.
Repost from Etc Etc Etc: My Mom's Battle
I missed my mom a lot. It’s been 4 months since I leave the Philippines to settle my financial problems and of course to sustain her medical needs. Naging mabilis ang mga pangyayari na kahit ako, hindi ko napansin. Last year, my mom was diagnosed stage IV breast cancer. I know she wasn’t surprised dahil matagal na nyang alam na may bukol siya sa boobsie. Buhay pa ang dad (last 2004) may nakapa na siya. And because she was afraid for us to know, she asked her friends to look for a remedy. Pero dahil sa worth 25k biopsy, hindi nya tinuloy hanggang sa lumaki at lumala na. I can’t blame her for that because I know how afraid she was that time and all she need now is our support. And last year was the start of her battle.I really admire my mom. The moment she told us her condition, was the only third time I saw her crying in my whole life. (The first was when I told her my dad died (DOA) and the second was on his interment.) But the day after, she became normal again as if nothing is wrong. I love the way she brings herself. I love her for being so positive that she easily accepted the truth. And I love her for being so brave. How I wish I could be like that.Her first doctor was from Perpertual Help and dahil hindi ako palagay, we asked for a second opinion. We went to Asian Hospital and looked for a specialist. And dahil sa mahal nga dun, the specialist rather chose Makati Medical Center dahil mas maganda and maayos ang facilities nila dun. From then on, naging tambay na si mami ng Makati Med heheheh. Imagine, we are from Laguna pa ha? To make the story short, she undergoes several chemotherapies(?) for a total of eight. Yung lima dun, parang basic chemo lang and it costs 30k. Dahil mabagal ang effect nung gamot sa kanya though may improvement naman, binago yung gamot that costs 80k naman. Note: Hindi ako mayaman, it’s just that some TRUE people are helping me out on this. Hindi ko din akalain na nagagawan ko ng paraan yung mga amount na yun. Iba talaga kapag para sa magulang. You will do anything whatever it takes. Utang doon, utang dito. Diskarte doon, diskarte dito. Tapos naospital pa siya for 3 weeks. Butas doon, butas dito. Yan ang ginawa kay mami. Pero kahit ganun, hindi ko siya nakitang natakot, nakukuha pa nga nyang magpatawa. Lalong akong bumilib sa kanya dahil dun.Oo nga pala, naging tambay din ako sa PCSO. Doon ko din napatunayan na we are still blessed dahil may mas malubha pa pala na problema kesa sa amin. If you have a family member/relatives who is suffering from diseases, feel free to ask on how to request for a medical support from PCSO. Baka makatulong ako.Mami said to my bf that we are the reason, me and my bro why she is still fighting to this battle. And the reason why I am doing this (aside from I don’t want to lose her just like that) is because, I can see in her the desire to fight to be with us for a longer time.A good friend once asked me: “Handa ka na ba sa pedeng mangyari?” Then I said: “Oo, ang importante wala kaming sinayang na oras at pagkakataon para hindi siya ipaglaban. Kung anuman ang mangyari, napatunanayan namin na naging mabuti kaming anak sa kanya at hindi namin siya pinabayaan. Wala akong pagsisihan sa huli.”UPDATE: Hindi na namin siya pinachemo dahil sa nakikita ko mas humihina si mami dahil dun. Kaya sinusubukan namin ngayon ang Alternative Medicine. It is safer dahil herbal ang mga gamot nila. Yun nga lang, kelangan nya ng strict diet. Maraming bawal na pagkain at kelangan laging fresh. Pero ok lang yun sa kanya, this is to prevent spreading of the cancer cells to her body. I just hope it would help her to survive or to live longer.May I take this opportunity to thank those people who are really concerned to my mom. Hindi na siguro kelangan isa isa ko pa kayo para pasalamatan. You know who you are. Salamat dun sa mga taong tumulong samin financially. Dun sa mga taong pinalalakas ang loob ko tas sasabihin na “Kaya mo yan, kaw pa.” Salamat. Malaking bagay sakin to. Yung mga taong laging kinakamusta si mami, salamat din. At least alam ko na naiisip nyo si mami at concerned kayo sa kanya. Dun sa mga madalas bumisita kay mami kahit andito na ko, salamat mga tol. Salamat sa pang aaliw sa kanya. May chocolates kayo sakin hehehe.Salamat sa mga prayers. Salamat sa concern. Salamat salamat. Kampai!
