How safe is the organic fruits and vegetables?

Grateful to be able to attend a training on 3rd March with Dr Chen and family, to understand more in depth in various aspects including the safety of the food and ingredients that we take. 

How safe is our organic food? 

According to wikipedia

Organic food is food produced by methods that comply with the standards of organic farming. Standards vary worldwide, but organic farming in general features practices that strive to cycle resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity.

Organic farming means a healthier method in producing the fruits/vegetables, however, does it ensure that it's safe from contamination? 

The only way to really sure the safety of the fruits and vegetables produced are via the testing, to ensure that it's safe from those heavy metals, pesticides, micro-organism, poisonous and chemicals. 

I am grateful that all the Superfoods that I am taking are free from those chemicals. 

These are the list of pesticides being tested up to today, in all the Healthy Fast Food that I am consuming. In the future, the list will grow when there are new pesticides come up in the market. 

Pesticide List

These are the poisons that have been tested in all the Superfood that I am taking

Poisons testing

Looking at the label of the Vegecolor that I am taking, which contains 28 types of vegetables in rainbow of color and free of all the pesticides and chemicals, definitely it's safer than much vegetables out there. 

Cheers

Medical Error, Third leading cause of death

Studies has show that, After Heart Diseases and Cancer, the third largest cause of death in US is Medical Error. 

A recent statistic published from British Medical Journal, it's even higher than accident, respiratory diseases or even diabetes.

Source: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-05-03/medical-errors-are-the-third-leading-cause-of-death-study-finds

Where does Medical error happens? The following are among the most widely reported errors, according to the FDA and American Hospital Association: 

• Wrong diagnosis
• Wrong medication 
• Missing or incomplete patient information 
• Wrong blood group transfusions
• Infections due to poor hygiene 
• Wrong organ surgery or removal 

Why does medical error happens?

Because doctors and nurses are human too

Some of the example of medical errors in Singapore: 

Example 1

SINGAPORE — A young doctor who administered a chemotherapy drug the wrong way, putting the patient at risk of “severe neurological damage”, has been fined S$2,000 by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC).

Example 2

Woman’s eyelids stuck together after pharmacy mistake

A HOUSEWIFE was prescribed a gel to soothe an eye irritation – but ended up being given dental adhesive paste instead. The mix-up by the pharmacy at National University Hospital (NUH) caused Madam Pang Har Tin’s eyelids to stick together. The 63-year-old was rushed to the accident and emergency department to have her right eye flushed out. She has since made a full recovery.

What can we do?

Prevention is the best option

Often, you may do a lot of research when you are purchasing a travel package, when you are purchasing a car, or even when you are buying a furniture, a house, etc. 

Why don't you do the same when it comes to your health care professional? 

If you don't understand what the doctors are saying, ask to explain. This can apply to diagnosis, medication. You deserve the right to know. 

Next time, dare to ask further and always educate yourself to be a wiser consumer, a mission of Nutritional Immunology.

What does big C words mean for Women and your loved one?

Many tries to avoid the big C (Cancer), as it always mean death sentences. 

Most of the time, cancer are due to Unhealthy Diet, Lifestyle or exposure to too much free radicals

When it's being diagnosed, it means that it was in our body for the past 10-20 years. 

Public getting more awareness to take care of their lifestyle, by avoiding processed food and add in more fruits and vegetables in diet. People are more health conscious, yet nutrition value may not be enough, why? 

1. Most fruits and vegetables nowadays are being plucked when they are not fully ripped, so they can be kept longer during transportation. Nutrition value may not be there yet. 

When is banana being harvested nowadays? Green or yellow? 

2. Fruits and vegetables that we eat, are they high in phytochemicals, and antioxidants - diseases fighting nutrients? 

All fruits and vegetables contain phytochemicals and antioxidants. Yet, are they high enough to fight against diseases? 

Simple comparison, 

Orange has 100+ types of phytochemicals

Aloe Vera has 300+ types of phytochemicals

Cactus has 10,000+ types of phytochemicals

Which will you choose? 

Phytochemicals help to cut away cancer formation pathway in our body for proper detoxification process. 

3. Safety of the fruits and vegetables to minimize the exposure of pesticides and herbicides 

Organic food may not be safe, why? Read up here

Definitely, beside diet, how we have stable emotion, proper sleep and rest is important too to ensure good health. 

For me, I choose to adopt NI lifestyle as part of prevention. 

I choose prevention over treatment. 

With treatment, it cause both financial and emotional burden. Some may have insurance to cover for their financial. Often, most frightening is the emotional stress than financial stress. 

- How are they going to recover?

- Can treatment guaranteed recovery? 

- What side effects they will suffered from? 

- What happen with the loved ones and family member, especially children. How it will impact them emotionally? 

- How the episodes affect their ability of work? Can they continue to provide for family? 

- etc

Only via proper prevention, we are able to safe guard our health without burdening our loved ones.

Shock of cancer diagnosis despite regular check

Would like to share this article which I saw in Straits Times lately

"When she heard that she had a fairly big tumour, she said: "I couldn't believe or accept it. I had been going to the NUH to check so regularly"

This is so common nowadays that despite regular scan and checks, yet a person is diagnosed with cancer still. 

Thankful to what I learnt in Nutritional Immunology, I know that cancer doesn't occurs overnight. 

Most of the time, when a person is undergoing scan, cancer cells could be below 1mm, thus it's undetectable. However, it doesn't mean cancer doesn't exist. 

The most sophisticated instruments can only detect tumors when it reaches 1mm, which is equivalent of about 1 million cancer cell

Read up: What does cancer staging means?

In the recent Nutritional Immunology Chapter 3 that I attended, from the Radiological Society of North America, I learnt that for each scan that we did, we are exposing to radiation too. 

For example for a CT scan for Calcium Scoring, it means that we are exposing to the radiation for approx 1 year with 1 scan. 

Always be a wise consumer. Only by being a wiser consumer, we are able to make informed choice. 

What is the best way to prevent Cancer ? 

We have best doctor within us, which is our Immune System. Only by nourishing our Immune System on the daily basis, it will help us to fight against diseases regularly. Ultimately, we are what we eat. 

Prevention is the best cure.

How Nutritional Immunology Lifestyle helps in Heart Disease

Dear friends, 96

It was alarming to saw these 2 articles related to heart diseases

Especially being a women, and I have seen many around me working long hour, more than 55 hours stated in the article. 

The risk of heart disease actually increases by 33%

When we look at those around us, hypertension is no longer happening at elderly, but at the age of 30's, or even younger. The disease rate is getting younger. How can all these happens? 

What could potentially happen when they have heart disease, such as high blood pressure or arrhythmia. 

Mostly, they will start taking medicine, which could be taking for whole life. 

Some of the common heart disease drugs, and how their side effects. 

Yes, indeed we need medicine to help us control situation. However, do you intend to take it for life? 

With courtesy of our team mate's sharing, one of her friend's grandpa, who has been taking medicine diligently suffers from stroke. Checking with that friend few days later, and found out that her grandpa has passed away. 

Here is the question, why this is still happening even though he was on medicine still?

Do you know how hypertension medication works?

Just imagine,  you have your water piping system. If the pressure in your piping is high, what will you do? 

Yes, you turn the water flow smaller, so that it pumps lesser water through your pipe, and lowering the pressure.  

Same thing happens in the cardiovascular system, when a person take the medication, it will make the heart to pump lesser blood through the blood vessels.  

Can taking hypertension medication really solve the root cause of hypertension problem? 

How to solve the problem from the root?

Cactus

Cactus has high anti-inflammatory ability. Why it is important? Because the cactus can reduce inflammation in your blood vessels and speed up the healing process. 

Ginseng berry

It helps to improve blood circulation and bring more oxygen and nutrients transport to the brain.
