罐装饮料能杀人

WASH THEM FIRST 请先洗后饮

This is Serious! This incident happened recently in North Texas.
这是一起发生在美国德萨克斯州北部的严重事故

A woman went boating one Sunday taking with her some cans of coke which she put into the refrigerator of the boat. On Monday she was taken to the hospital and placed in the Intensive Care Unit. She died on Wednesday.
某一个星期日，有位妇女上游艇玩乐。她带了数罐可乐，并放入游艇内的冰箱。可是星期一，她送入医院的加护病房。星期三她去世了。

The autopsy concluded she died of Leptospirosis. This was traced to the can of coke she drank from, not using a glass. Tests showed that the can was infected by dried rat urine and hence the disease Leptospirosis.
验尸报告显示她死于细螺旋体病，起因是她直接饮用罐装饮料，不用杯子。检验发现乾老鼠尿已感染罐装饮料，因而导致细螺旋体病。

Rat urine contains toxic and deathly substances.... It is highly recommended to thoroughly wash the upper part of all soda cans before drinking out of them. The cans are typically stocked in warehouses and transported straight to the shops without being cleaned.
老鼠尿液含有毒素及其他有害物资。建议大家在饮用罐装饮料之前，首先清洗罐子的上端（易拉罐开口处）。罐装饮料一般上是存放在仓库内，然后才运交商店出售，期间不曾清洗过。

A study at NYCU showed that the tops of all soda cans are more contaminated than public toilets (i.e).. full of germs and bacteria. So wash them with water before putting them to the mouth to avoid any kind of fatal accident.
一份研究显示，罐装饮料上端的污染程度比公共厕所还要高，充满了毒菌和细菌。所以为了避免任何危害，在直接饮用之前，务须清洗罐装饮料的上端。

不要吃用微波爐煮熱的食物

（感谢 T.I. 转寄电邮）

住在美國加州擔任『藥劑師』已近30年的親人 Amy Huang 傳過來的重要保健資訊。希望有助諸位親朋好友及同事們的身體健康。

請您一定要看：

癌細胞最愛吃『用微波爐煮熱的食物』，然後，癌細胞就開始吃『您的身體』啦！

如果您用『微波爐煮熱的食物』把癌細胞養得肥肥壯壯的，保證癌細胞會很高興吃，但不會說謝謝。而且，連您的身體也會一起吃掉。也許還可以讓您散盡家產及痛不欲生，而罵它忘恩負義。當然，它會說：是您自作自受，活該啦！

所以呢 ……. 為了自己的健康，請詳細閱讀以下的說明 ~~

以下的內容摘錄自'疾病的形成與防範' 一書，作者為洪山本博士 (新加坡營養學博士)

首先令我們好奇的是何以微波爐有害？倘若有害，為什麼政府不回收呢？

有個很有意思的比喻，或者可比擬這個情況，當你將一隻青蛙放上一個開著大火的熱鍋時，牠會立刻跳走，但如果你用一根蠟燭慢慢燃燒加溫，剛開始時，青蛙並不覺得有任何燙感，但逐漸的等到牠覺得熱了，想跳走時牠的腳已被熱鍋黏住了，再也無法跳走。

如今微波爐就像那根蠟燭，使用它的人就像那隻青蛙，什麼時候會被黏住，或許是十或二十年之後，但遲早有可能被黏住。

在醫院中輸血，需將從冰箱拿出的血加以溫熱才可輸入人體，曾有護士為了急救病人節省時間，使用微波爐加溫血液，一輸入體後病人立即死亡，以後醫院中嚴格規定，絕不可用微波爐去溫熱血液。

專門調製給嬰兒服用的奶粉，盒上說明文字，明白寫出絕不可用微波爐去煮熱，因為它會破壞所有的營養。

有關微波爐所引起的各式傷害，蘇聯人作了許多研究，例如：

(a) 肉類微波後，會產生一種致癌物 d-NitroSodienthanolanines。

(b) 微波過的牛奶、水果、麥片，會將其中的氨基酸轉化為致癌物。

(c) 蔬菜微波後，會將植物生物鹼 (Plant Alkaloids) 轉化成致癌物。

在蘇聯、德國、瑞士等國家，對微波爐造成人體傷害方面，作了許多研究。

有人問，如果微波爐有害，何以政府不制止它的使用？
乃因它所造成的傷害，不是短時間內立即可看到可能是在二十年以後才顯現出來，除非有專業研究員，在實驗室作實驗來證實。而在美國，一切研究以利益為前導，對無利可圖的事，是沒有人去作研究的。這個國家以科學掛帥，最優秀的人才都做了工程師，只講究效率、效果，卻不去管後果。在美國癌症也比其他國家領先，高居第一位。為保護大眾利益作研究的團體幾乎沒有，都是為大公司牟利而研究。

比較上，在英國社會學系都是最優秀的精英分子，稍次者才去當工程師，由於當政者資歷背景的差異，在美國為公眾利益而不求牟利的研究，是無法和其他一些國家比擬的。

根據蘇聯、德國、瑞士等國家所作對對微波爐的研究，發現有許多負面的結論：

(01) 它破壞腦組織。腦的傳播是靠磁波，微波爐處理過的食物，如長期食用，會中和腦磁波，使腦退化，磁波短路，此為長期副作用。

(02) 微波爐食物，除了有致癌物之外，它還產生一堆不能為身體所吸收利用的不知名副產品。

(03) 長期食用微波爐食物，使男女荷爾蒙分泌量減低或改變。

(04) 微波爐食物的副產品，是長期而永久性的殘存於人體內。

(05) 食物中礦物質，維生素及營養大量減少，或改變成致癌物，以及許多不能為身體所分解的合成物。

(06) 微波爐烹煮的食物，使蔬菜中的礦物質，改變成會破壞人體的自由基。

(07) 微波爐食物能引起胃癌，有些胃癌及腸癌，皆與吃太多微波爐食物有關。這或許解釋了何以美國人近些年來，患直腸癌的比例如此迅速增加。

(08) 長期吃微波爐食物，易使身體產生大量癌細胞。

(09) 長期攝取微波爐食物，由於其中營養已被破壞，將使身體免疫系統出問題。

(10) 這樣的食物，終將使記憶退化，精神不集中，情緒不穩定，且理解力降低。

您怎麼辦呢？

不要用『微波爐加熱或烹煮食物』，才是最佳妙方！

為了預防自己受癌症折磨，及為了家人及親朋好友的關切與善意，請立即停止使用微波爐加熱或烹煮的食物。

懇請儘量傳給親朋好友及同事們！

Eat more barley

(Courtesy of forwarded email from KC Tan)

Barley is good for your

Healing and cleansing.

High in fibre, barley is also a kidney cleanser. Better yet, regular intake of it helps prevent heart disease. BARLEY water was always a regular drink when we were still living at home. Whenever we had to go for a medical exam that included a urine test, my mum would make us drink barley water a day before it to make sure we got a positive result!

My mother was a wise woman. I later found out from an Australian
naturopath that barley is known to be a kidney cleanser, and he happily
downed glasses of it at a meal we had in a coffee-shop here.

Barley is good for your intestinal health too. Try to eat the barley grains you find in your drink or sweet broth with fu chook (beancurd skin) and ginkgo nuts.

It's high in fibre which feeds the friendly bacteria in the colon and helps speed up the transit of fecal matter in it. In this way it helps prevent haemorrhoids and colon cancer.

The propionic acid and beta glucan from barley's insoluble fibre also help lower cholesterol and prevent the formation of gallstones.

Eating barley regularly is a preventive step against heart disease as, besides the fibre content, it is also high in niacin, a B vitamin good for lowering cholesterol.

Diabetics should eat more barley as the fibre will prevent blood sugar levels from rising too high. It also provides relief from constipation or diarrhoea for those suffering from Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Barley is rich in selenium which prevents cancer and relieves symptoms of asthma and arthritis. It is a good source of manganese, copper and phosphorous.

Malt sugar comes from sprouted barley which, when fermented, is an ingredient in beer and other alcoholic beverages.

Barley, whose Latin name is hordeum vulgare, has been cultivated for more than 10,000 years.

Since ancient times, barley has been used for healing purposes and has
been known to the Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. Athletes in Greece and Rome in those days were known to eat barley bread to give them strength.

Besides the usual things we do with barley, I enjoy having it in a western soup. The larger pearl barley is used and I love the sticky bite of it.

Here's a recipe for barley soup:

Barley soup with roasted garlic

1 cup pearl barley
5 cloves whole garlic, roasted
2 litres chicken stock, steeped from 1 chicken breast simmered in three litres water
2 tbsps vegetable oil
2 large onions, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
150g turkey ham, cut up
1 tsp ground white pepper
1 tsps sea salt or to taste
1 tbsp chopped parsley

Method
1. Wash barley and soak it in a bowl of water for three hours. Drain.

2. Heat oil in pan and fry onions Add carrots and celery, then the barley and fry for three minutes.

3. Add chicken stock, pepper and roasted garlic and simmer over low heat for at least an hour, or until barley is soft.

4. Add salt to taste and serve the soup garnished with chopped parsley.

Left and right nostril breathing therapy

(Courtesy of a forwarded email from T.I.)（感谢 T.I. 转寄电邮）


左鼻孔及右鼻孔之呼吸療法


我們有左邊及右邊鼻孔。吸氣及呼氣時會不會一樣？
We have left and right nostril. Is that the same for inhale and exhale?

其實不一樣，可以感覺到不一樣。右邊相等於是太陽，而左邊相等於是月亮。
Actually they are different. We can feel the different. Right nostril represents Sun, left nostril represents Moon.

平常頭痛時，可以用手把右邊鼻孔閉起來，只用左邊鼻孔呼吸。大約五分鐘後，頭痛就好了。
When headache, try to close your right nostril and breath using your left nostril. Headache will be gone after 5 minute.

如果疲倦、累了，相反的閉起左邊的鼻孔，只用右邊鼻孔呼吸。不用多久，精神就好起了。
If you feel tired, do it the opposite way, close your left nostril and breath through your right nostril. After a moment, you will feel your mind are fresh again.

因為右邊屬於火氣，比較熱，左邊則比較涼。
Right side is belong to fire (火), so it gets heat easily. Left side will be cooler.

大多數女生用左邊鼻孔呼吸，所以心情比較涼快。
Most of the girls breath with their left nostril, so they have good temper.

大多數男生用右邊鼻孔呼吸，所以他們比較容易生氣。
Most of the guys breath with their right nostril, so they have bad temper.

我們起床時，可以留意哪邊鼻孔呼吸比較快，是左邊還是右邊？
When you wake up, will you notice which side breathes faster? Left or right?

如果左邊比較快，覺得提不起精神，可以閉上左邊鼻孔，用右邊呼吸，很快的精神會好起來。
If left nostril is faster, you will feel tired. So close your left nostril and breath with your right nostril. You will refresh very soon.

這方法可以教導小孩，大人應用效果更好。如果你有警覺心的話，速度更快。
This therapy can be applied to kids, but the elders will have better effect.

以前我曾經頭痛，痛得非常厲害。去看醫生，醫生說：你去結婚就好了！（眾笑）醫生說得沒錯，他有理論根據。
I used to have headache. It was so painful that I went to consult doctor. The doctor told me: "It will be all right if you married!" (LOL) The doctor is right.

當時每天晚上都頭痛，沒有辦法看書。單單吃藥，也不是辦法。
I had headache problem every night at that moment. I could not study even I took medication. That was not a good solution.

有一天晚上靜坐，閉上右邊鼻孔呼吸，這樣子做了不到一個禮拜，頭痛好了！持續做了一個月後，到目前不曾頭痛。
One night, I sat down and closed my right nostril and breathed with left nostril. My headache was gone within a week! I continued for another month, headache does not attack me anymore.

這是我自己的親身經驗，我經常告訴別人，如果頭痛可以試試這個方法，很多人試過都有效果。這是一種天然的療法，不像吃藥會有副作用，為什麼不試呢？
This is my experience. I tell others try this if they have headache. Many people tried and it works as well.
This is a natural therapy. Unlike medication, medicine will give you side effect.
So, why not try it out yourself?

How to diagnose a stroke 如何辨識中風

（Courtesy of forwarded emails from T.I. & Kam）（感谢 T.I. & Kam 转寄电邮）


有個朋友，在一次烤肉聚會當中絆倒了，摔了一跤，旁邊的朋友建議找醫護人員，
但她很確定自己沒事，只是穿了新鞋被磚塊絆了一下罷了。
A friend once fell down suddenly in a BBQ party. People around suggested her go to the hospital, but she reassured that nothing's wrong with herself, except having fallen down due stepping on a piece of brick in a pair of new shoes.

她還有點危危顫顫站立不穩的時候，朋友們幫她清洗乾淨，又為她盛了一盤食物，她就跟著大家一起享受接下來的時光了。
While she was still shivering, not standing firm, friends helped her clean up her body and got a plate of food for her. So afterwards, she happily enjoyed the rest of time with the company.

她的先生後來打電話通知大家，她被送到醫院，傍晚六點，就過世了。原因是她在烤肉聚餐的時候中風。
Later on, her husband called to tell these friends, she has been sent to the hospital at last, and she passed away at 6 PM only, which cause was a stroke to her during the BBQ party.

如果他們懂得辨識中風的癥兆，她現在也許還跟我們在一起。
有些人不會死，但結局處於無助無望的景況中。
If they know how to identify the symptoms of a stroke, she might still be staying with us.
Some people do not die, however the result is in even helpless and disparate condition.

腦神經外科醫師說，
如果他能在三小時之內接觸到中風患者，他就可以將中風的後果完全扭轉過來。訣竅就是辨識診斷出中風的問題，並讓病患在三小時之內接受醫療，而這是很難的。
A neurosurgeon says:
If he can reach a patient in 3 hours after a stroke attack, he can alter the stroke consequences completely.
The trick is how to diagnose a stroke, and let the patient have treatment within 3 hours after a stroke. But this is very difficult.

有時候中風的癥兆很難辨認，不幸的是，缺乏警覺就會帶來災難。
身邊的人辨認不出中風的徵兆，中風患者就會嚴重腦傷。
Sometimes it's not easy to identify a stroke, yet unfortunately, it will bring disaster without proper alert.
If people around a stroke patient are not able to tell a stroke, the stroke patient will suffer from serious brain injury.

如何辨識中風
感謝上帝讓我們記住 STR 三步驟，請閱讀並學習 !
醫生說，旁人只要問三個簡單的問題，就可以辨識中風：
To diagnose a stroke
Thank god for allowing us to remember 3 simple steps: STR
Please read and learn!
A doctor says, if surrounding people can just ask 3 simple questions,
it is possible to diagnose a stroke.


S：(smile)

要求患者笑一下。
Ask the patient to smile.

T：(talk)

要求患者說一句簡單的句子（要有條理，有連貫性），例如：今天天氣晴朗。
Request the patient say a simple sentence (must be reasonable and consecutive), e.g. The weather is sunny today.

R：(raise)

要求患者舉起雙手。
Ask the patient to raise both hands at the same time.


注意：
另外一項中風癥兆是：要求患者伸出舌頭，如果舌頭「彎曲」或偏向一邊，那也是中風的徵兆。
Note：
One more diagnose method of stroke is: Tell the patient to extrude his tongue. If the tongue is bending or leaning towards one side, that is also a symptom of stroke.


在上面四個動作中，如果患者有任何一個動作做不來，就要立刻打 999 ！！！並且把症狀描述給接線者聽。
Above are 4 steps. In case a patient can't do either one of such gestures, you should dial 999 !!!
