What does staging in cancer means?

I am reading the book on Nutrition.Immunity.Longetivity about cancer chapter
96
Cancer doesn't happen overnight.

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

When it's reaching 1cm, that's at least 1 billion cancer cells!!

So all cancer has incubation period,

- it takes 6-8 years for a cancer cell to develop from 1 cell to size of 1cm
- it takes 10-20 years for a colon cancer to develop to size of 1cm!!

Read up in detail

Watch this 10 mins youtube from Dr. Jau Fei Chen, on her explanation on how cancer is developed from Immune System perspective, she explains it in a simple way, using Steve Job's pancreatic cancer as example. 

It gives me a better understanding on how powerful our immune system is, and once we understand how strong our body is we can fight against diseases easily!

Gout Patients can eat Soy

Most of of my friend thought that having gout cannot, and they avoid all beans related food!

Yet, with the recent research, It's again show that soy is great for those with gout!

Source: http://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/health/gout-patients-can-eat-soy-products-local-study-finds

Let's look at some misconceptions about soy. I always love soy bean, and I find that I must clarify my group of friends on the right knowledge about soy. 

To add on: Why I choose plant based soy bean milk, than dairies

Quality of the Food we eat is important. 

I tends to choose soy with the right species, harvesting time and processing method. For soy bean, the seed and skin has to be removed, and it has to be boiled up to 60-70 degree, for the optimum benefits.

As convenience, I tends to choose Nutrifresh. 

With the ingredient of: Soybean, Grape, Banana, Pineapple, Asparagus, Barley, Brocolli, Cabbage, Cantaloupe, Carrot, Citrus Peel, HoneyDew, Peas, Pear, Peach, Grapefruit, Lemon and Coconut. 

Total 18 ingredients, and 1 packet is $1.8

With the right processing method to remove all the skin and seed, and being boiled at 60-70 degree!

As compare to most of the soy milk selling outside, one cup of soy milk easily cost about $1.5 with just 1 single ingredient!! And we are not sure if the processing method is correct or not! 

Feel free to PM me if you would like to try 1 packet of Nutrifresh.

Why I do not choose Formula Milk, learn to read label!

Hey Friends,

With the recent news on Milk powder, it's alarming again for us as consumer on the food safety issue. 96

Source: Channel News Asia
http://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/consumption-of-gos-in/2951794.html

Given that infant, children and kids are regularly taking formula milk powder for their protein source and growing up. It's important that the food that they are taking are very safe.

Galacto-Oligosaccharide (GOS) is a common ingredient that has been added in formula milk, according to news it easily cause allergic reaction in those who already have allergies such as eczema and asthma 

Where we can see them?

Look at one of the ingredient label in most common formula milk.

What is GOS
GOS is a carbohydrate added in foods to promote the growth of good bacteria in the gut.
GOS is a permitted food ingredient in many countries and can be added to any foods including infant formula. 

What are GOS Allergy Symptoms?

GOS allergy symptoms can show up in the respiratory system, skin or in the stomach and intestines. The symptoms are sneezing, runny nose/ blocked nose, cough, throat and chest tightness, wheezing, hives and itch - including itchy eyes - and diarrhoea. 

It's important that we need to be wiser consumer, to choose the food which is safe.

Looking the ingredient label, can you read and understand most of them?

Looking at both ingredient label which gives protein source, which one do you understand? 

Which one is natural source? Which one is synthetic? 

For me, I will choose the above which contain Soybean, Banana, Grape, Brocolli etc. As they are wholesome food, than synthetic ingredient. 

I will not choose the one below, given that I don't understand most of them - Such as L-Carnitine, Zinc Sulfate, Cyanocabalamin???

Read up How does synthetic ingredients being made of?

One of the most valuable lesson that I learnt from ingredient label is that, they are being arranged in Most used ingredients, until the least used ingredients

For example, look at ingredient label below, another popular brand of formula milk.

First ingredient is Hydrolyzed Corn Starch, following by Sucrose - both are high in sugar content and food thickening which give sweetness in the milk powder. 

Milk protein concentrate are no 3.

Following by Oils (Soy oil and sunflower oil)!!

And other ingredients which I don't understand.

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.

You can have good vitality and stamina throughout the day & keep you high concentration .

Why I Choose Elemente Series?

Definitely, Product Safety is the key

In Elemente Series, all raw materials are tested with Material Safety Data Sheet although this is not required.

All the raw materials are coming from Japan!

Japan's cosmetic regulations are among the strictest in the world. In Japan, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) regulates cosmetics, quansi-drugs, pharmaceuticals and medical devices according to the Pharmaceutical Affairs Law (PAL) to guarantee their quality, efficacy and safety. 

In Japan, permits are required to manufacture and sell cosmetic, unlike other countries, no regulation and permits required. 

Quansi-drugs 

What are considered as OTC products in other regions may be classified as "quansi-drugs" in Japan. Example of quansi-drugs: skin whitening products, products for dry skin, acne products, anti-dandruff shampoo, hair tonics, hair dyes, etc. 

Quansi drugs are subject to examination for quality, and safety by Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA)

For the heavy metal testing, it's most stringent at Japan, as compare to Germany, Japan/USA. 

In Elemente and Nutritional Immunology, I learnt to be wiser consumer. 

Does Advertising term means anything? 

Terms such as hypoallergenic, allergy tested, dermatologist tested - does it means anything? 

How about the word - Natural? 

Usage of safer ingredients

For example, Elemente Toothpaste!

Instead of using Fluoride, Triclosan and Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, they use a safer ingredients, such as Hydroxyapatite

Here are some of my Elemete series products which I Love !!! and there are others which I didn't show!

PM me if you would like to try out !

Let's look at the table below to understand where you can find the toxic chemicals: 

These chemicals can be found in toothpaste, drinking water, shower gels, body lotions, shampoos, toys, whitening products, detergents, etc etc. 

In fact, most pollution begins in the womb.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released the results of a two year study that found up to 232 different industrial chemicals in the cord blood of 10 babies in the womb. 

Among the common one are:

It's important to equip ourselves to be wise consumer, to use the products which are safe and yet effective.
