A Cancer Killer in the Kitchen - Ginger
The powerful healing effects of ginger have been well documented. It's a proven remedy for upset stomach. Reams of studies show that it inhibits inflammation. And there is substantial evidence that it fights cancer too.

For instance, a recent University of Michigan study showed that when ginger was added to ovarian cancer cells in the laboratory, it caused the cancer cells to self-destruct (a process known as "apoptosis") . In a separate study at the University of Minnesota , researchers injected colon cancer cells into mice that were bred to have no immune system.

Half of these mice were routinely fed gingerol, the main active
component in ginger. The researchers found that the mice that were fed gingerol lived longer, their tumors were smaller, and the cancer did not spread as widely as in the control group.

With all these health benefits, you should be using ginger as often as you can. The best way I've found to get a healthy serving of ginger is to juice it. (The brand of juicer I use is an Omega.) Two or three days a week, I juice an apple or two, some carrots, spinach, broccoli, cabbage, and a big piece of ginger root.


The ginger gives the drink a great flavor and a powerful anti-cancer kick.
I highly recommend that you try it.

Healing and cleansing with barley

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 she 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

The United States "New York Times" shocked the country, causing a sensation in the White House!

       Thomas Friedman, a famous columnist of the New York Times, wrote an article titled *"The Seven Years of China and the United States".* It was published in The New York Times and shocked the White House !

     He wrote: "When I sat in the seat of a Chinese stadium and enjoyed the magical performances of thousands of Chinese dancers, drummers, singers, and acrobats on stilts, I could not but recall the past seven years. Different experiences in the United States and China: 

China has been busy with various infrastructure projects, and we are busy dealing with al-Qaeda (terrorists); they have been building better stadiums, subways, airports, roads and parks, and we have been working on the construction of better metal detectors, Hummer military vehicles and drones...

       Differences have begun to show. You can compare the dirty old LaGuardia Airport in New York and the beautifully shaped international airport in Shanghai. When you drive to Manhattan, you will find out how dilapidated the infrastructure is along the way. Experience Shanghai's maglev train at speeds of up to 220 miles per hour. It uses electromagnetic propulsion instead of ordinary steel wheels and tracks. You have already arrived in Shanghai. Then ask yourself: Who is living in a third world country?

      I think: As a modern country, China has accepted the main concepts of modern national sovereignty and human rights. However, the various qualities of Chinese civilization make it unique. One of the characteristics of China's development model is that the scale effect of learning + innovation + huge population affects China and the world. Many foreign companies investing in China have a slogan. If they can achieve the first in China, they will be able to achieve the world's best.

With the rise of China, this trend is beginning to expand into more and more areas such as tourism, aviation, film and television, sports, education, new energy, modernization models, and high-speed rail.

      Some of us are more envious of the lives of small countries and small people, in fact, the difficulties of small and small countries. Small countries can't afford storms, while big countries face waves and have much more room for manoeuvre.

       Chile is a comparatively more-developed developing country. However, in a major earthquake in 2010, GDP fell a large chunk, and the entire economy could not breathe for two years. Even if China encounters such a large-scale natural disaster as the Wenchuan earthquake, the entire country’s economy remains unaffected.

       For most countries, industrial upgrading often means that the industry migrates to foreign countries, and China can carry out large-scale industrial gradient transfer within itself, which extends the life cycle of Chinese manufacturing.

    Culture - The collision of Chinese and Western cultures over the past thirty years has not caused most Chinese people to lose their cultural confidence. 

The Chinese people today embrace Confucius's heat, Lao Tzu's heat, reciting hot, calligraphy and painting fever, tea ceremony heat, old house heat, cultural relics, Chinese medicine fever, and heat of health, all reflect the revival of Chinese traditional culture.

      The food culture, health culture, and leisure culture derived from Chinese culture are also incomparable to other cultures. Street restaurants in any part of China can make 30 to 40 dishes. In the vast majority of American restaurants, there are only hamburgers and potato chips. There are three or four dishes that are good. European restaurants have more dishes but rarely more than seven or eight varieties.

      Some of us are always worried that Chinese people lack religious feelings. In fact, anyone who is a little familiar with the history of the world knows that religious conflicts in human history have led to countless wars. The conflict between various Christian denominations and between Christianity and Islam has had a history of thousands of years, resulting in human tragedies in which countless lives were brutally murdered. Therefore, our people do not have to believe in religion.

Economics--China's traditional economics, strictly speaking, is not "market economics" but "humanistic economics." 

In the long history of China, if a government fails to develop its economy and improve people's livelihood, it cannot handle disasters and disasters. It will lose support from the people and lose its "destiny" and will eventually be overthrown by the people.

      Today's political party in China is a continuation of the historically unified Confucian ruling group tradition, rather than a Western party that competes on behalf of different interest groups. 

Many people in the West only agree with the legitimacy of the regime resulting from multi-party competition. This is a very shallow political concept.

      I once met an American scholar who questioned the legitimacy of the Chinese regime. I asked him why he did not first question the legitimacy of his own country: You took the land of others and passed colonial, immigration, extermination of Indians, and formed the United States today. . I asked him to explain to me where the legitimacy and legitimacy of such a country lies. In the end, he can only tell me that this is history.

       Can we doubt the source of the legitimacy of Western regimes by using the concept of “selecting and selecting talents” in China?

 Xiao (Small) "Junior"  Bush’s rule brought an economic downturn to the United States in eight years and brought disaster to Iraq. Bringing financial tsunami is an example.

       The most important feature of China’s historical legitimacy is the “political tradition of selecting the able and capable people and governing the country with the support of the people”.

       In the political culture of China, the concept of "one game at a time", "hardship on one side, support from all sides", and other cultures cannot be produced. I once discussed the Chinese model with Indian scholars. They said that on the face of it, China is centralized, but every reform in China actually has strong local characteristics. They compete and complement each other. Therefore, the Chinese system is better than India’s. The system is more dynamic.

They have studied the West and have established a powerful modern government system. At the same time, they have their own unique political and cultural resources. The combination of the two makes it easier for us to overcome the populism, short-sightedness, and legalism that plagued Western democracy today. And other issues.

       At the political level, many people in the West also take it for granted that China will accept the political model of confrontation with the West as the Chinese middle class grows. However, they also discovered today that the Chinese middle class today seems to value China’s political stability more than any other class. They understand that the “democratization” of the West has brought chaos and turmoil to many countries. 

Understanding their hard-earned wealth accumulation has actually benefited from more than 30 years of political stability in China.

       Frankly speaking, what China has demonstrated today is definitely not an oversimplified or even simple concept of "advanced" and "backwardness," "democracy," "autocracy," "high human rights," and "low human rights." 

        This is the article written by Thomas Friedman, an American columnist, *Seven Years of China and the United States."* 

P/S We all heard a story of “Turtle and Rabbit Race’.  This is perfectly illustrated the situation between China – the turtle and US – the rabbit.  China managed to catch up to US  economically and technologically within a time frame of 50 years.     Moral : never underestimate the weakest opponent.

*Former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill, once said: "I took a taxi one day to the BBC offices for an interview*

*When I arrived, I asked the driver to wait for me for forty minutes until I got back, but the driver apologized and said, "I can't, because I have to go home to listen to Winston Churchill's speech*".

*I was amazed and delighted with the man's desire to listen to my speech! So I took out 20 pounds which was huge money at the time and gave it to the taxi driver without telling him who I was. When the driver collected the money, he said: "I'll wait for hours until you come back sir! And let Churchill go to hell*.

.......

*You can see how principles have been modified in favour of money; nations sold for money; honour sold for money; families split for money; friends separated for money; people killed for money; and people being made slaves for money*

A secret revealed ...

Some years ago, a former professor of mine showed me a blood test, what I saw impressed me.
The five key blood parameters, i.e. urea, cholesterol, blood glucose, lipids and triglycerides had values which far exceeded permitted levels.

Commented that the person with those in dices should already be dead or, if alive, this would be just out of stubbornness.

The teacher then showed the name of the patient who until then had been hidden by his hand. The patient was himself!

I was dumbfounded! And I said: "But how? And what did you do?".

With a smile he introduced me to another sheet analysis, saying: "Now, look at this, compare the values of the parameters and see the dates."

That's what I did. The parameter values were clearly within the recommended range, the blood was perfect, flawless, but the surprise increased when I looked dates, the difference was only a month (between the two analysis of the same person)!

I asked: "How could it? This is literally a miracle!"

Calmly, he replied that the miracle was due to her doctor, who suggested treatment obtained from another doctor friend. This treatment has been used by myself, several times, with impressive results.
Approximately once a year, do analysis of my blood, and if either is present tendency to breakdown, return immediately to repeat this process. I suggest that you try.

Here's the SECRET: weekly for 4 weeks, buy at the fair or supermarket, pumpkin pieces. Should not be the pumpkin squash and pumpkin rather large, which is usually used to make candy.

Daily, peel 100 grams of pumpkin, place the pieces in a blender (raw), along with water (WATER ONLY!), And mix well, making a vitamin pumpkin with water.
Take this vitamin fasting, 15-20 minutes before breakfast (breakfast / breakfast). Do this for a month, every time your blood needs to be corrected.

Can control the outcome, making analysis before and after treatment with other pumpkin. According to the doctor, there is no contraindication, because it is just a natural vegetable and water (do not use sugar!).

The teacher, excellent chemical engineer, studied the pumpkin to know which of the active ingredients it contains and concluded, at least partially, that it is present in a solvent of low molecular weight cholesterol: cholesterol more harmful and dangerous - LDL.

During the first week, urine has a large amount of LDL (low molecular weight), which results in cleaning of arteries, including the brain, thereby increasing the person's memory ..

PUMPKIN ... Do not make it a secret ... SPREAD! - 

Honey is the only food (liquid) on the planet that will not spoil or rot.
Some people think it just turns to sugar.

In reality honey is always honey.
 
However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing".
When this happens I would loosen the lid, boil some water and let the honey container sit in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was.

Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
