Eyeing Regina Bretts 45 lessons
"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught
me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and
parents will. Stay in touch.

Obama on healthcare
The chance to finally reform our nation's health care system is here. While Congress moves rapidly to produce a detailed plan, I have made it clear that real reform must uphold three core principles -- it must reduce costs, guarantee choice, and ensure quality care for every American.
As we know, challenging the status quo will not be easy. Its defenders will claim our goals are too big, that we should once again settle for half measures and empty talk. Left unanswered, these voices of doubt might yet again derail the comprehensive reform we so badly need. That's where you come in.
When our opponents spread fear and confusion about the changes we seek, your support for these core principles will show clarity and resolve. When the lobbyists for the status quo tell Congress to hold back, your personal story will give them the courage to press forward.
Join my call: Ask Congress to pass real health care reform in 2009.
After adding your name, please consider sharing your personal story about the importance of health care reform in your life and the lives of those you love.
I will be personally reviewing many of these signatures and stories. If you speak up now, your voice will make a difference.
http://my.barackobama.com/
American families are watching their premiums rise four times faster than their wages. Spiraling health care costs are shackling America's businesses, curtailing job growth and slowing the economy at the worst possible time. This has got to change.
I know personal stories can drive that change, because I know how my mother's experience continues to drive me. She passed away from ovarian cancer a little over a decade ago. And in the last weeks of her life, when she was coming to grips with her own mortality and showing extraordinary courage just to get through each day, she was spending too much time worrying about whether her health insurance would cover her bills. She deserved better. Every American deserves better. And that's why I will not rest until the dream of health care reform is finally achieved in the United States of America.
Please add your name to join my call. Then share your personal story about why you too will not rest until this job is done.
http://my.barackobama.com/
Last November, the American people sent Washington a clear mandate for change. But when the polls close, the true work of citizenship begins. That's what Organizing for America is all about. Now, in these crucial moments, your voice once again has extraordinary power. I'm counting on you to use it.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama

Eyeing an important John Hopkins Update
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt..
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties.. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave.
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. 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 Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le 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.
This is an article that should be sent to anyone important in your life.

Eyeing the economy
As the effects of the global financial crisis continue to ripple through stock markets around the world, the Malaysian bourse appears volatile but better placed to ride out the storm than it did during the 1997 Asian financial crisis.
In line with most Asian stock markets Malaysian capital markets have fallen victim to ongoing global deleveraging and flight to safety. The Kuala Lumpur Composite Index (KLCI) dropped 39% in 2008 from 1432 at the end of 2007.
The KLCI did rise by 3.9% earlier in the year, but that rally proved to be somewhat short- lived. The benchmark KLCI has since been steadily declining, falling below the 900-level in mid-January. Meanwhile, the industrial production index fell to a four-year low in November 2008 to 128.9, compared to 139.7 a year earlier.
The sectors that saw sharp sell offs on the KLCI are plantation, property, construction and banking. Among the most affected companies are Sime Darby, Kuala Lumpur Kepong, and IOI Corp - which reported its lowest close since 2008 at RM3.78 on January 14.
Holdings have decreased across the board. Maybank eased 10% to RM5.50. Bumiputra-commerce, went down 30% to RM6.45 while Tenaga Nasional, the largest electricity utility company in Malaysia has also suffered, decreasing 20% to RM6.20.
These difficulties have been compounded by an outflow of foreign investment following the March 2008 general elections. By the third quarter of 2008, foreign investors were eager to liquidate their Malaysian assets. According to Malaysia's RHB Research Institute, foreign ownership of Malaysian stocks is currently estimated at below 20%. However, Malaysian bankers told OBG that they expect this number to rebound to its previous highs of between 20 and 30% in the foreseeable future.
The economic downturn has also taken its toll on the local currency, the ringgit, which has been subject to steep currency swings against foreign currencies, namely the US dollar, the yen, the euro, and the British sterling. In April 2008 the ringgit reached a 10-year high of 3.12 against the dollar due to strong economic growth, large portfolio inflows and rising prices of crude and palm oil. However, from May onwards, the exchange rate dropped along with falling commodity prices and the onset of the subprime credit crisis, which led to an increased demand for US dollar assets, according to the Kenanga Investment Bank's "Economic Outlook 2009."
The Malaysian Rating Corporation predicts that the ringgit could devalue further to between 3.55 and 3.70 against the dollar at some point in the first half of 2009. Conversely, RAM Holdings' Chief Economist Yeah Kim Leng believes that the ringgit is underpinned by both strong levels of trade surplus and international reserves. According to the Statistics Department, the trade surplus rose from RM9.6bn ($2.65bn) in October 2008 to RM11.49bn ($3.18bn) in November 2008, exhibiting the 133rd consecutive month of trade surplus. Meanwhile, the nation's international reserves stood at RM330.8bn ($91.48bn) as of January 15, 2009, according to the Malaysian Central Bank.
On the upside, fluctuations in the Malaysian market could prove worth the pain, as they present opportunities for investors. With stocks trading at record lows, it is arguably the best time for investors to buy shares. According to Colbert Nocom, a UBS Investment research analyst, the investors in the Malaysian market are looking forward to 2010 as companies begin to show sharp rebounds in their earnings.
As Malaysia is bracing itself for confronting rapidly weakening economic conditions, the government has unveiled two unprecedented stimulus packages. The first stimulus package of 7bn ringgit ($1.9bn) was announced last November, and is being rolled out in stages in the first quarter of this year to alleviate the pain. The second remains in the pipeline and is expected to boost domestic growth and improve confidence. Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak said it is intended to "avoid falling into a recession and sustain our economic livability". A major aim of the emergency aid is expected to be to support the manufacturing and construction sectors.
In addition these rescue packages, Malaysia's financial sector is benefiting from strong fundamentals. According to Razak, the capital adequacy ratio of banks stands at 8%, higher than the international requirement; non-performing loans of banks average 2.5%; foreign reserves amount to $100.2bn; and the current account surplus is 15% of GDP.Based on this, Yeonzon Yeow, Head of Research at Kenanga Investment Bank in Kuala Lumpur, told OBG he believes "the Malaysian market will recover sooner than others."
