Sweet Version Of Lung Cleansing Watercress Soup – Good For Smokers, Halitosis (Bad Breath), Soothing Body Heatiness & Coughs

June 26, 2009 · Filed under For Good Health, Natural, Home Remedies For Health · Tagged , , , , ,

Hi there, dear friends :D

Earlier I had written about the wonderful health benefits of the watercress soup for cleansing our lungs. This post can be read HERE .

All this while, I have always cooked a savoury version of watercress soup, using either pork or chicken…but today, I decided to do a sweet version. My healer friend had mentioned before that the sweet version tastes even better when it is drank cold after it is refrigerated.

Below is a picture of my large pot of watercress soup – the ingredients were :-

  • 1 kg watercress, cleaned and use stems and all
  • 400 gm of preserved honey dates or “mutt joe”
  • about 4 litres of water or enough water to fill a large pot

Method – Bring all ingredients to a boil, lower fire and simmer for 4 hours.

A mug of delicious, rich coloured, sweet watercress soup.


Just strain off the soup and store it in bottles in the refrigerator. It can be kept for 2 to 3 days, and each of my family member will have at least one cup of this healthy soup each day.

Among the Chinese, the watercress soup is traditionally known to be good for our lungs but it was from my healer friend that I learnt the watercress soup, be it savoury or sweet, has the following health benefits  :-

1) it is really effective for detoxifying our lungs of impurities. Smokers and people who live in a polluted environment will benefit greatly from drinking this soup.

2) in TCM, bad breath or halitosis is believed to be caused by heatiness of the lungs, and this soup will cure that. My healer friend was approached one day for a natural remedy by a lady whose husband was having bad breath. He drank the watercress soup over 2 days and his bad breath was gone completely.

3) a soothing remedy for body heatiness, especially during the hot and dry weather.

4) also a good remedy for soothing the lungs from coughs

A word of caution – although I love the taste of watercress soup, my youngest son said it smells terrible. So, you be the judge, okay? :lol:

With best wishes for good health,

Wow, I’m So Impressed With My Eco (Fruit) Enzyme Cleaner – You’ve Got To Try It! Here’s My Review…

June 22, 2009 · Filed under Cleaning Tips · Tagged , , , , ,

Good afternoon, dear friends :D

My first bottle of eco or fruit enzyme was due to “mature” on 09 July, 2009 but because I had ran out of floor wash and I was impatient to know know effective the enzyme is as a multi cleaner, I pour some out to use on 16 June, 2009. :oops:

Wow, I am so impressed with the amazing cleaning qualities of the eco enzyme that for the past week, I have been trying out this “premature” enzyme on almost anything and I was busy cleaning like a busy beaver! :lol:

Check out this POST on how to make your own fruit enzyme.

mini-Eco Enzyme 001

Photo taken on  06 May, 2009 – on the left is my first eco enzyme made from lemon and orange peels, which I had posted HERE. The  middle one was made from lemon, orange and beet root. The right one is made from green apples and some lemon.

mini-Eco Enzyme 002Photo taken on 16 June, 2009 – I had made a new bottle of eco enzyme using the skins of one dragon fruit and 2 oranges. Notice that the contents of the right bottle made from beetroot has turned yellow?

Here’s my review on the eco enzyme -

Bathrooms

Previously, I had tried vinegar, bleach and specilised bathroom cleaners to wash my bathrooms and toilets. With the eco enzyme, cleaning of bathrooms had become a breeze! I used 1/2 cup of enzyme to 1 litre of water as my cleaning solution and I wet the whole bathroom with it. Wow, the dirt and scum came off easily with minimal scrubbing…most importantly, I did not have to bear with any cleaner fumes..instead there was a wonderful citrus smell. The enzyme was also good in removing stale bathroom odours. Am I impressed indeed! :shock:

Tiled Floors

Being in the tropics, our houses here are not carpeted and we walk barefooted at home. So, it is of utmost importance to me that my floors must be clean. Having an effective floor wash to mop my floors is crucial, given that my house is 3 storeys high and I have a lot of area to mop. Previously, I had tried expensive enzymatic floor cleaners, vinegar and standard commercial floor wash. As I have 3 cats, I can’t use strong commercial cleaners as they may be poisonous to my cats (cats are always licking to clean their paws and fur).

With great excitement, I poured 2 tablespoons of eco enzyme into a pail containing 3 litres of water.

Again, I am simply astounded by the enzyme – the dirt on the floor was easily removed and the pail of water was getting dirtier faster than if I had use my previous type of floorwash, even with vinegars. Another proof of the superb cleaning power of the enzyme was seeing the floor grouting (the lines between the tiles) getting brighter/whiter! I used this one pail of water plus enzyme to mop one whole floor.  After this, my floor was squeaky clean and very shiny! :D

Two days I mopped my floors again with the enzyme. This time, the pail of water got even dirtier, which I guessed was due to more old dirt and grime being removed by the enzyme. By the third time I mop the floors (another 2 days later), the dirt in the water was lesser and by now, my floors look brand new and shiny. Best is the wonderful, clean feel on the soles of our feet when we walk on the floor. Wow!

With the enzyme floor wash, there is no rinse is required, it absorbs odours, it is safe for pets and the leftover mop water can be used as plant fertilisers.

Glass Doors & Windows

I used window cleaners and lots of paper kitchen towels to clean my glass doors and windows. Often, I have had to wipe them a few rounds to get them really clean with no smudges. With the eco enzyme, I used 2 tablespoons of it with 2 litres of water and a clean cotton towel. No rinse is required and the glass was easily cleaned effortless..all in just one wipe and in a couple of minutes. Old water stains were easily removed for those windows exposed to rain. Fantastic!

Car Porch & Garden Pots

With the amount of rain that we get, some parts of my car porch and garden pots have green algae. Also, as the car porch is not often washed or scrubbed, there tend to be a buildup of dirt and grime that is hard to remove. I had tried using vinegars and strong cleaners and srubbed my car porch like crazy..but still, it didn’t turn out as sparkling clean as when I used my eco enzyme.

To half a pail of water (about 3 litres), I poured in half a cup of enzyme (if I had more enzyme, I would have used more..maybe next time….because this is a heavy duty job)…I spread the cleaning solution over my whole car porch and then started scrubbing a small area first. Again, I need not srub hard and the dirt came our very easily….cleaning the car porch has never being so effortless for me and I was so happy! The green algae came off easily from the floor and pots. Even my children commented they have never seen our car porch so clean before.

Kitchen Hob/Stove

I didn’t get very good results for using the enzyme to clean my oily gas hob after a heavy cooking session – probably because I didn’t use enough enzyme. By now, my “yet to mature” enzyme has been half used and I dared not use too much of it.  I will report more on this the next time I clean my kitchen with the eco enzyme. :wink:

Kitchen Wall Tiles and Glass Blocks

Again, these were easily cleaned with minimal time…I have gleaming wall tiles and glass blocks.

Refrigerators

They were really easy to clean with the enzyme. Best is stale odours were removed quickly and interior and exterior surfaces of the fridges are now sparkling clean and shiny. As both my GE fridges are white in colour, the cleaned doors were quite obvious.

Other areas I would like to try using the enzyme for :-

1) washing the car? Just to see how good the enzyme is for removing old dirt from the paint and the stubborn watermarks on the windows and windscreen. :lol:

2) doing the dishes?

3) cleaning the painted walls?

4) doing the laundry?

5) as an insect repellent? Thus far, I have tried a little of the enzyme on some areas where there were ants…but I need to test this out more before I can write more on it.

6) as a facial cleanser? I am not really sure about this but my air-condition repairman said his wife uses the enzyme to wash her face and her complexion is now so good. She even calls this enzyme, “SK-111″…this is also another reason why I decided to use fruits only to make the enzyme as it will smell better.   :lol:

7) fertiliser – in addition to using the enzyme as fertilisers for my plants, I intend to blend the remains of the fruit pulp with some water and pour them onto my plants.

Advantages of using the eco enzyme :-

1) really, really effective as a cleaner…..doesn’t need a lot of effort to clean anymore, and the dirt is so easily removed that it is almost magical!

2) cost effective – I am now saving a lot of money in not having to buy anymore bleaches, vinegar, cleaners, floorwashes, toilet bowl cleaners, glass cleaners….and so on. The enzyme is almost free and the only minimal cost is in the sugar.  Also, I save money from buying fertilisers.

3) safe to use…there are no chemicals involved…and so, it is good for those families who have pets and small children at home

4) nice smell to it – no irritating chemical fumes. Can even remove odours,

5) it is an environmental friendly product

6) it is gentle on our hands

I hope you will be able to make some enzyme and see for yourself how wonderful its cleaning qualities are. It will save you a lot of energy, work and money and you will be like me…..beaming with a wide smile everytime I finish cleaning with the enzyme! :D

From now onwards, I will be making eco enzymes regularly to provide a steady supply for my cleaning requirements! :lol:

Happy Cleaning! :D

With best wishes,

choesf :D

Nourishing Soup For A Hot, Hazy Weather

May 27, 2009 · Filed under Natural, Home Remedies For Health, Nutritious Soups & Meals, Health Drinks, Uncategorized · Tagged , , ,

Good morning, dear friends Very Happy

These few weeks, the weather has been very hazy  and extremely hot in Kuala lumpur. This situation brought to my mind this recipe given to me by my healer friend in year 2005  when we experienced the worst haze ever, when schools and offices had to be closed in the Klang Valley.

During that time, the symptoms that we had were “foggy” brains/mind (we can’t seem to think well, hehe – maybe from not enough oxygen to the brain?), forgetfulness, body heatiness and lethargy/no energy.

She gave me me this recipe which was handed down by her grandmother (so, it must be a 100-years old recipe, as the healer is in her 50’s) but she spoke to me in Cantonese, so I’ll try my best to translate here.

Ingredients  :-

  • Cleaned flesh from 1 small wintermelon
  • 1  cup (or RM 1 mixed Chinese barley (”sang sook yee mai” in Cantonese), or normal barley
  • 1/2 cup dried mandarin orange peel (homemade or buy from Chinese Medical Hall)
  • 1/2 kg pork spare ribs (or pork lean meat)
  • 4 litres water


Method – Bring all ingredients to a boil,  lower heat to small and simmer  for 3 hours. Add seasoning to taste. You can serve this nutritious soup with your dinner.


This soup helps to clear our body systems from the pollutants and dry heat in the weather. Personally, I added 1 cup of red dates for fragrance. Now that the haze is back, I will go to the farmer’s market (pasar malam) this evening to buy the ingredients and my family will be having this soup tomorrow. Very Happy

With best wishes for good health,

Using Breathing Techniques For Self Healing – Headaches, Migraines, Tiredness

May 5, 2009 · Filed under For Good Health, Natural, Home Remedies For Health, Yoga Breathing Techniques - Pranayama · Tagged , , , ,

Good afternoon, dear friends :D

I received this interesting email (quoted below the picture) on using the breathing through our respective nostrils to heal certain aspects of our lives.  As always, I am interested in natural remedies for health and thought you may be interested in this form of healing. This technique is known in Yoga as “Pranayama.”

The connection that the breath has to our physical, emotional, and spiritual health has been well recognized by healing traditions of both East and West.  In Chinese, the character    (Qì), is used to represent both the vital energetic force which sustains all living beings as well as the breath itself. In both Chinese and Indian systems of self-healing, the breath and vital force are said to move together; they are inseparable.  Many techniques of manipulating the breath have been devised to support physical health, establish a balanced and well-adjusted emotional temperament, and assist with spiritual growth.

The picture below suggests that we open the four fingers while pressing on one nostril with our thumb. However, most yoga instrutors would teach us to curl our index and middle fingers into our palm, let our ring finger and pinkie relax, and have our thumb pressing close one nostril. Try both techniques to see which is more suitable for you…

breathing-techniques

Our noses have left and right nostrils. Are these nostrils having the same function for inhaling (breathe in) and exhaling (breathe out)?
Actually it’s not the same and we can feel the difference. Accordingly, the right side represents the sun and the left side represents the moon.
When having headache, try to close your right nostril and use your left nostril to do breathing for about 5 min. The headache will be gone.
If you feel too tired, do it the opposite way. Close your left nostril and breathe through your right nostril. After a while, you will feel refresh again.
Because the right side belongs to heat, so it gets hot easily. The left side gets cold easily.
Women breathe mainly with their left nostril, so they get calm down easily.
Men breathe mostly with their right nostril, so they get angry easily.!
When we wake up, do we notice which nostril breathes faster? Is it the left side or the right side?
If the left nostril breathes faster, you will feel very tired. Close your left nostril and use your right nostril for breathing and you will get refresh quickly.
You can teach your kids about it. The effect of breathing therapy is much better for adults.
I used to have painful headache. When consulted a doctor, he told me jokingly,” You will be all right if you get married!” The doctor did not bullshit me as he had his theory and supported with testimony.
During that time, I used to have headache every night and I was not able to study. I took medicine but I was not cured.
One night as I sat down to medidate, I closed my right nostril and breathed with my left nostril. In less than a week, it seemed that my headache problem had left me! I continued doing it for about a month and since then there was no recurrence of head! ache in me. This is my own experienc! e. I used to tell others who also suffer headache to try this method as it was effective for me. It also works for those who have tried as well. This is a natural therapy, unlike taking medicines for a long time may have side effect. So, why don’t you try it out?
Practice the correct ways of breathing (breathe in and breathe out) and your body will be in a very relaxing condition

A Fruity Drink To Soothe Dry Or Phlegmy Coughs & Body Heatiness

May 3, 2009 · Filed under Natural, Home Remedies For Health · Tagged , , ,

Good evening, dear friends :D

The weather in Malaysia has taken a turn to hot and humid, almost like a heatwave. Everyone I know is complaining about it. Just a few weeks ago, we were experiencing almost daily thunderstorms and the weather was cool and enjoyable.

The sudden switch to this very hot weather can cause our body to become heaty, resulting in either dry our phlegmy coughs. This fruity drink recipe was taught to me by my healer friend, Yoong Cheh…it is really soothing and balances the heatiness in our body.

Ingredients -

fruity-drink-to-cure-dry-or-phlegmy-coughs-and-soothe-lungs-001-small

Clockwise from top – Dried Mandarin Oranges, 2 Buddha’s Fruit (Lor Hon Kor), 1 cup Dried Figs, 1 cup Pak Cheok (optional), 1 cup Chinese Almonds

*

fruity-drink-to-cure-dry-or-phlegmy-coughs-and-soothe-lungs-002-small

A packet of Red Sugar and a small wintermelon

*

Method -

fruity-drink-to-cure-dry-or-phlegmy-coughs-and-soothe-lungs-003-small

1) Peel wintermelon, remove seeds and cut into chunks

2) Put wintermelon together with the plate of ingredients shown in the first picture into a large pot containing about 5 litres of water.

3) Bring to a boil, reduce heat to small and simmer the fruity drink for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. …it will look like this ===>

fruity-drink-to-cure-dry-or-phlegmy-coughs-and-soothe-lungs-004-small

4) Check taste for sweetness and if it is not sweet enough for you, you can adjust the taste by adding the red sugar. For my family, I didn’t use any red sugar at all. It was sweet enough.  Red sugar has good anti-inflammatory properties and is good for curing infections of cells in our body, sore throats, and heatiness.

Get everyone in the family to drink at least 2 cups for the first day. The extra fruity drink can be stored in bottles and refrigerated…it tastes very good and refreshing when cold. Subsequent days, drink 1 cup daily.

Have a wonderful week ahead!


With best wishes for good health,

Recipe For Homemade Citrus Enzyme – A Natural, Cheap & Effective All Purpose Cleaner

May 2, 2009 · Filed under Cleaning Tips, How To's & Guides · Tagged , , ,

homemade-citrus-enzyme-cleaner-005-smallMy newly prepared eco enzyme made from lemon and orange peels

(Please read HERE for my review of this wonderful enzyme :wink: )

*

Good afternoon, dear friends :D

Heheh, for quite a while, I was suffering from a writer’s block – there was so much to tell you but every time I select the “New Post” option here, I ended up just staring at the blank page and no words came out…my mind felt like it was stuck in quicksand! :oops:

Anyway, I would say that the Earth Hour campaign carried out here in Malaysia a few weeks ago was a great success – environmental awareness has increased and there were many good articles in the local newspapers promoting environmental friendly programmes and articles.

One of them that caught my eye was the recipe or method for making our own enzymes using fruit and vegetable scraps or leftovers from the kitchen. These enzymes are really good and effective as a multi-purpose cleaner.

I have been using a fruit and enzyme based floor cleaner to mop my floors for the last 13 years but I bought the floorwash from a chemical engineer who made this environmental friendly floorwash for sale.  After mopping the floor, I would pour the water into my pots of plants, which would bloom beautifully….i.e. the floorwash doubled as a plant fertiliser, too. :wink:

Last year, a friend told me the “recipe” for making our own ezymatic cleaner…but I didn’t really try making some until I read about it in the newspapers last month. It was actually called “The Garbage Enzyme” but I thought the word “garbage” sounds kind of yucky and decided to modify things a bit and made my own Citrus Enzyme, consisting of lemon and orange leftovers.

Some wonderful uses recommended for this non-toxic, environmental friendly enzyme (use one to two teaspoon of enzyme) -

1)  to do dishes and laundry

2) for washing bathrooms and toilets

3) for removing stubborn stains

4) to clean vegetables and fruits

5) clear blockages in kitchen sinks and drains

6) as a natural insect repellent (use undiluted) for ants, cockroaches..

7) as a floorwash to mop floors shiny clean

8 ) as fertiliser for vegetables, flowering and non-flowering plants

9) as a skincare product, e.g. facial cleanser


Currently, most people that I  know are making this enzyme at home and many have confirmed its wonderful uses. Even my regular air-condition service/repair man said his wife has been using this homemade enzyme to wash her face and she has given it a name – SK3 ! :lol:

I made a small batch of enzyme to try it out for myself, and I have posted a pictorial recipe below. I  only used 10 % of the total ingredients required because I was impatient to get the enzyme started and I didn’t have a large enough plastic container. Anyway, the curiousity got the better of me and I didn’t want to go through waiting over a few weeks to accumulate the 3 kg of vegetable and fruit scraps from my kitchen. :lol:


Citrus Enzyme Based Multipurpose Cleaner

To begin, you need a plastic container with an airtight cover. Here, I have used an old 2-litre fruit juice bottle. The enzyme takes 3 months to “ferment” and be ready for use.

Ingredients :-

homemade-citrus-enzyme-cleaner-001-small

100 gms of brown sugar

*

homemade-citrus-enzyme-cleaner-002-small

300 gms of lemon and orange scraps (these were leftover after I had juiced them)

*

homemade-citrus-enzyme-cleaner-003-small

1 litre tap water

*

homemade-citrus-enzyme-cleaner-004-small

Use a funnel to pour sugar into the bottle. Drop in the fruit slices. Pour in the water.

*

homemade-citrus-enzyme-cleaner-005-small

Cover the bottle and date it, so that you will know when the enzyme is ready to use , i.e. 3  months later on

*

homemade-citrus-enzyme-cleaner-006-small Give the ingredients in the bottle a good shake to mix them thoroughly. For the first month, open the cover to let out the oxygen build-up from the fermentation process. On some days, you will see the bottle swelling up in size.

Oh no…I have a large stone detected in my gall bladder! I’m trying out a natural remedy to remove the gallstones…

Home remedy for removing gallstones prescribed by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan

(Please read the comments below for my detailed experience and outcome of trying out Dr. Lai’s method)

*

Good afternoon, dear friends :D

Last night, I suddenly had severe gastric pains and my husband had to take me to the hospital. After some examinations and an ultrasound scan, it was confirmed that I have a large gall stone in my gall bladder – it is 2.2 cm or 2/3 inch long. :shock:

After further consultations with the gastro surgeon, I was told to go for surgery to remove my gall bladder. He said this was the only solution as the gall stone is too big. I have never liked the idea of surgery and my only times spent overnight at the hospital were when I delivered my four children. :roll:

Nevertheless, this sudden development in my health has got me really all shaken up and I am really terrified of this surgery. My husband and I have yet to set a date for this proposed surgery as we want to find out more information on gall stones and the repercussions of have my gall bladder removed.

We did asked the surgeon what will happen to me when I don’t have a gall bladder…he didn’t give a satisfying reply and we are now under the impression that he just wants to make some money out of this surgery. :roll:

In a short while, I am going back to the hospital (it is a private hospital) to have a gastro scope done of my stomach…the surgeon wanted to be sure that my stomach is ulcer free and check for some bacteria there.

In the meantime, I have spoken to a few people – Master atan, my healer friends Yoong Cheh and Chimmal – and thus far, they have all suggested that I delay the surgery to remove my gall stone first and in the meantime, I can follow some proven natural remedies to get rid of my gallstones. They have some friends who had carried the natural remedies successfully….

So, I am going to try this Natural Remedy of Removing Gallstones for about 3 rounds (I was told the second round is even better in getting rid of gall stones)……hope you can wish me luck and success in doing this and I don’t have to go for surgery.

I will keep you posted of my gallstone elimination development following the Natural Method here and if it works (no, I should stay positive and tell myself “IT WILL WORK”), you would know this is indeed a good and effective way of removing gall stones.

I have copied my earlier post of this natural remedy of removing gall stones here for your easy reference…it uses Apple Juice (can add fresh apples also), Epsom Salt and Olive Oil..

apples1.jpg

Good afternoon, dear friends :D

Yesterday, Master atan, a retired healer and fengshui Master, posted at his Dhealing forum HERE a way of removing gallstones that is safe, natural and tested – without going for any surgery. I was very impressed by this method and thought I would share it here with you as I’m sure many people will benefit from this technique.

Master atan said that gall bladder stones today can be easily removed by operation and the so called laparoscopy, a process using laser to remove the gall bladder stones. But there are still ways we can take other than to undergo these expensive treatments, surgeries and medicines to help you cured of gall stones.

Master atan had tried this method himself and has recommended it to many people to follow, advising that this is good and safe.

REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan -

Gallstones may not be everyone’s concern but may lead to cancer. We all have them (big or small, many or few). “Cancer is never the 1st illness. There are a lot of other problems leading to cancer. I came across some materials stating that people with cancer usually had stones,” said Dr Lai of  China.

One symptom of gallstones is a feeling of bloatedness after a heavy meal as if you can’t digest the food. If it gets more serious, you feel pain in the liver area.”

Dr Lai offers the apple juice treatment which is good for those with a weak liver. Liver and gallbladder are closely linked.

1) Drink 1 glass (250ml) 100% apple juice 4 times a day for 5 days. 1 glass at breakfast, 1 glass at lunch, 1 glass at dinner & 1 glass before going to bed. It softens the gallstones. Eat normally.

2) On the 6th day, skip dinner. At 6pm, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water. At 8 PM, repeat the same for purging purpose. It helps to flush out all solid stuff. It also opens the gallbladder ducts. At 10 PM, drink half a glass of olive oil mixed with half a glass of lemon juice. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage. Lemon juice helps to extract the stones out from gallbladder ducts.

Soon you will purge again. This time you can find greenish stuff floating in your toilet bowl, if you have gallstones. “You may want to count them. I have had people who passed out 40, 50 or up to 100 stones.” as told by Dr Lee. “Even if you don’t have any symptoms of gallstones, you still might have some. It’s always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up every now and then.”

Something more to share by Master atan -

“Dr Lai Chiu Nan’s “6 Days Apple Juice Treatment” works wonderfully to remove gallstones in a natural way. I came to know this more than 10 years ago and many of my friends had benefited from this treatment without going for operation.

Mr AT almost had his gallbladder operated in the hospital in 1996. When we met up just a few days before his operation appointment, he gave it a try when I told him about this apple juice treatment. The doctor was surprised of the disappearance of gallstones when Mr AT went to the hospital for a re-examination. He passed on this good news to his friends and relatives so much so that whenever a person wanted to buy Epsom salt from the pharmacy in that town, straight away the sales personnel at the pharmacy knew that it’s for the removal of gallstones treatment.

Mr LMK also drank the apple juice and passed out the gallstones. Mr AY called me and asked for the apple juice treatment for his Indonesian worker who refused to go for operation. According to Mr AY, his worker suffered great pain and could hardly walk. One week later, Alan called again saying that his worker still suffered the pain. I told him to bring his worker to see Mr LMK who could give a testimonial to him so that he would repeat the 6 Days treatment one more time. Later I received good news from Mr AY that his worker was able to walk without pain after passing out the gallstones. No operation was required. Mr LMK also told me that the worker thanked him many times whenever they met each other in town for the encouragement and confidence given to him.”

Master atan said that in order for it to be more effective, drink green apple juice. You can buy 100% pure apple juice from supermarket in 2 liters packing. The treatment needs 6 liters only (4 x 250ml = 1 liter per day). Nevertheless, do include apple juice as one of your daily drinks. It’s good for you, he said.

There you have it – a really safe and natural way of removing any gallstones. I’m going to try this out to see for myself and then get my husband to do it also. A word of caution though, I believe we should be aware of the high sugar content of consuming so much apple juice over the 6 days and it is best to cut off all other sources of sugar intake during this treatment period. Also, since it is spanned over 6 days and we are expected to purge a few times on the 6th day, it is best to start this treatment on a Monday or Tuesday…leaving the weekend free to be spending more time in the toilet.

I wish you all good health always,

choesf :D

Konnyaku Jelly Starter Pack now available at my Web Store

Good afternoon from a rainy Kuala Lumpur, dear friends :D

Phew! Finally, my “Happyhomemaker88’s Web Store” is up and running…something that was long overdue. :D

I know some of you have been curious as to what I will be selling and have been waiting since I mentioned that I was going to start my online store at the beginning of last year. For the past few months, I was researching into the viability and practically of those products that I will be offering.

After conducting a few trial runs in packaging and sending some of these items overseas,  now  I am pleased to announce that this cute Konnyaku Jelly Starter Pack  (in picture above)  will launch my Web Store.

Soon, I will be adding on more products there like  the unique, delicious signature brand of  MalaysianAik Cheong Coffee (in satchets),  Healing Chinese Herbal Teabags, etc. Currently, I am thinking of how to put together a package of various Chinese herbs,  healing teas and traditional medicine especially for ladies’ health as well as for  ”confinement women” (to rejuvenate their health within one month after delivering babies).

All products available are my favourite brands that my family use or consume all the time in my home,  and I source them from my reputable and reliable suppliers. Therefore, the quality of these products are assured by me.

As a sign of appreciation of my gratitude for you who have been supporting my blog and making it a success here, I would like to send you a surprise gift together with your orders from my Happyhomemaker88 Webstore! :wink:

See you there! :D

With peace and joy,

Vote EARTH – Switch off your lights & join the WORLD for EARTH HOUR 2009!

March 18, 2009 · Filed under Chit Chats & Stories · Tagged ,

 

Good afternoon, dear friends :D

This year, Earth Hour is being taken to the higher level, with a goal of 1 billion people worldwide switching off their lights as part of a global vote for our beloved Earth, against global warming.  This year, my family will be taking part in this global event and wherever you are, do join us and switch off your lights at -

8.30pm (your local time),  Saturday, 28 March 2009.

During Earth Hour, switching off our lights means we are voting for Earth, and leaving our lights on means we are supporting Global Warming. I have read that the ice caps will all have melted in 60 years time,  and it is a scary thought indeed to imagine how that will contribute to the rising sea waters in the world. Also, the weather climate will be terribly affected. I don’t know about your country, but here in Malaysia, we are experiencing unusually higher than normal rainfalls during this period, when we should have dry, hot weather. There are floods happening all over and many people are down with coughs and colds, caused by the hot and rainy weather. 

Gather some loved ones, friends or organise a little event at home to make this even fun.  Spread the news around about Earth Hour and make more people aware that here is an opportunity to do our part and say our piece over protecting Mother Earth and reduce global warming.

I will be making some finger foods and  ice-cold lemonade for this event, and we will have have a little picnic in our garden … practically in the dark during Earth hour.  It will be fun! :lol:  

Happy Earth Hour 2009! :D
