Coffee Enema

The coffee enema recipe uses caffeine drug in coffee to detoxify the liver and is a primary therapeutic approach of treating cancer alternatively. Enemas made from drip-grind boiled coffee have proven themselves and advantageous means of detoxifying and restoring the liver. 

According to Dr. Gerson, “This treatment should be followed strictly for at least two years…The liver is the main organ for the regeneration of the body’s metabolism for the transformation of food from intake to output”.
  

Coffee Enema Recipe and Procedure for Treating Cancer Alternatively

Step 1. Materials for coffee enema recipe

·         Buy a 2-quart enema bag or bucket with a clamp. This is sold at drug stores.  The Gerson bucket from Gerson is easier to use. 

·         Organically grown coffee is best.  Organic coffee is available at natural food stores.  Organic coffee can also be ordered from web sites. 

Step 2. Preparation of coffee enema to detoxify the liver

·         Place 2 to 3 cups of purified water and two to three tablespoons of organic coffee in a saucepan and bring to a boil.

·         Let it boil 10 minutes, then turn off the heat and allow it to cool. One or two ice cubes may be added to speed the cooling process.  Strain with cloth to separate the coffee grounds from the liquid.

·         You may make a larger quantity and use it for several coffee enemas.

o        2 cups of organic coffee
o        Approx. 3 quarts of filtered water
1.    Bring the water and coffee to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes.

2.    Cool and drain the coffee liquid using a cloth to catch the coffee grounds. (the grounds are a great fertilizer for plants and grass)

3.    Divide the coffee liquid into 3 quart jars.

4.    Finish filling the quart jars with filtered water

5.    You now have 3 quarts of coffee concentrate (enough for 12 coffee enemas) Store the jars of concentrated coffee in the refrigerator.

6.    When you are ready – take a quart jar of concentrated coffee and equally divide the jar into 4 quart jars.  Fill the quarts with filtered water.

7.    You now have 4 jars ready to heat to lukewarm and use as needed throughout the day.

·         Wait until the coffee water is comfortable to the touch.  If the coffee is too hot or too cold, retaining the enema will be more difficult. 

Step 3. Preparing to take the coffee enema to detoxify the liver

·         Be sure the plastic hose is pushed or fastened well onto the enema bag and the thin enema tip is attached to the other end.

·         Remove any air from the enema tube the following way.  Grasp but do not close the clamp on the hose.  Place the tip in the sink.  Hold up the enema bucket above the tip until the water begins to flow out. Then close the clamp. This expels any air in the tube.

·         Lubricate the enema tip with a small amount of soap or oil. (Too much lubrication will cause the tip to fall out of the rectum, creating a mess!).

Step 4. Taking the coffee enema

·         The position preferred by most people is lying on one's right side on a towel, on the bathroom floor. 

·         With the clamp closed, place the enema bag on the floor next to you, or hang the bag about one foot above your abdomen.

·         Insert the tip gently and slowly.  Move it around until it goes all the way in. 

·         Open the clamp and hold the enema bucket about one to two feet above the abdomen. The coffee may take a few seconds to begin flowing.  If the coffee does not flow, you may lift the bag/bucket higher. If you develop a cramp, close the hose clamp, turn from side to side and take a few deep breaths. The cramp will usually pass quickly.

·         When all the liquid is inside.  Close the clamp. You can leave the tube inserted, or remove it slowly. 

·          RETAIN THE ENEMA FOR 15 MINUTES.  See below if you have difficulties with this.  You may remain lying on the floor. Use the time to read a book, meditate, etc.  Some people are able to get up and go lie on a towel in bed, instead of on the floor.  Walking around the house with the coffee inside is not recommended.


Step 5. Finishing up

·         After 15 minutes or so, go to the toilet and empty out the coffee water. It is okay if some coffee remains inside.  If the coffee remains inside often, you are dehydrated. 

·         Wash the enema bucket and tube thoroughly with soap and water. Then sanitize with hydrogen peroxide.

Hints regarding coffee enemas:

·         If possible, do the enema after a bowel movement to make it easier to retain the coffee. If this is not possible, take a plain water enema first if needed, to clean out the colon.

·         If intestinal gas is a problem, some exercise before the enema may eliminate the gas.

·         If the enema makes you jittery, reduce the amount of coffee.

·         The enema may lower your blood sugar. If so, eat something just before or after taking the enema.  I usually eat a half of a banana.

·         If you have trouble holding the enema, here are suggestions.

1.    Be patient.  Practice makes perfect.

2.    The coffee may be too hot or too cold.  Be sure the water temperature is comfortable.

3.    It may help to place a small pillow or rolled up towel under your buttocks so the water flows down hill into your colon.

4.     If trouble continues, try reducing the amount of coffee or add 2 tablespoons of potassium to the water.

Each time I would tire of doing coffee enema’s (breaks), I would re-consider the importance of detoxifying my liver.  I knew that if my liver became healthy, my liver would fight the cancer cells. 

The coffee enema recipe can be accomplished in almost any given situation.

I have become very creative and ingenious in doing coffee “breaks”  anyplace, anytime.  My body has learned to hold the coffee until I can get to a close by bathroom. 

I have learned to do coffee enemas on the backseat of a car on in a private public bathroom. 

My life and family needs to continue a high social community life of jobs, careers, and just being out and about.  Life continues. 

Learn to fit the coffee enema into your daily life.  It is worth the effort.  Added benefits to coffee enemas are energy, clarity, and vitality.

Wiping Off All E-mails on Yahoo Mail in one Go

I have >100k mails on my Yahoo Mail that I never checked for like >4 years. With >100k mails, anybody with a sane mind wouldn't have gone the extra mile trying to browse through each and every single one of them. Luckily, I happen to be one of the sane minds and I wanted every email wiped off my account so I googled to find out if I'd be able to do just that in one shot but to no avail.

By accident, I found out that if I switched to the new Yahoo Mail setting, there'd be this magical scroll bar on the right that of course would make the tedious 'evidence cleanup' process a whole lot easier. If you don't switch to the new setting, the maximum number of emails you can delete in one go is either 25 or 50. The scroll bar proves useful. The maximum number of emails I've ever deleted was 5k and it was already a lot for me. If you're diligent enough to scroll further toward the end (if you can stand the lag), you will definitely be able to wipe off more than what I've tried up until now or even possibly everything on your account.

I'll go through the important steps in switching from a basic account to the newest setting if you haven't already done so. 

1. The image below is a basic account that hasn't been switched to the newest setting. Note there's no scroll bar on the right and if you click on the select all button top left, you will be able to delete 25 or 50 emails at one time, depending on your account setting, 
Basic Yahoo Mail setting without the scroll bar
2. The image below shows you how to switch to the new Yahoo Mail setting. Note the red arrow. Click on 'Switch to the newest Yahoo Mail'.
Switch to the newest Yahoo Mail
3. Once you've switched to the new setting, it will look something like below. Note the scroll bar on the right. This scroll bar is an important tool to get as many emails as possible to be deleted.  

With the newest yahoo mail setting on, you may notice that things are going at the pace of a snail. If that's the case, once you're done with wiping off everything, you can switch back to the basic setting.

Dog Lice

What are Lice?

Lice (singular: louse) are tiny, species-specific external parasites that live on the skin and hair coat of dogs and other mammals. Adult canine lice are pale, wingless and flat. They are small insects but still visible to naked eyes, averaging between 1.5 to 4 millimeters in length. It is easier to identify them under a microscope or magnifying glass. Lice live for about 4 weeks. The eggs (called “nits”) transition to 3 different stages of nymphs, and then become adults.
Lice are classified in the order Phthiraptera. They are generally divided into two distinct categories:
a) biting lice (suborder Mallophaga) and 
b) sucking lice (suborder Anoplura). 

There are two main species of lice that infest dogs. The canine biting louse is Trichodectes canis. The sucking louse of dogs is Linognathus setosus. A heavy louse infestation, whether caused by biting lice or sucking lice, is referred to as “pediculosis.” The lice that affect people are not the same as the lice that affect dogs or other animals, and they typically do not transfer between different species. In other words, people cannot become infested with lice from their dogs, and dogs become infested with lice from their people.


How Lice Affect Dogs and Why We Worry About Them

Lice are annoyingly irritating insects. Fortunately, they are not common in clean, healthy, well-fed and well-maintained companion dogs. These parasites tend to thrive mostly on debilitated dogs that are old, run-down, malnourished or poorly cared for which in other words are called stray dogs. When lice are present, they usually are found in dirty areas under matted hair around the dog’s head, ears, neck, shoulders and genitalia. Lice cause intense itchiness, constant irritation and relentless restlessness in affected dogs. This almost always causes the dogs to lick, rub, scratch, chew and bite at affected areas. They also develop a coarse, roughened hair coat and skin redness, rawness and inflammation (dermatitis). Some dogs become lethargic, lose weight and suffer poor growth. Owners of dogs infested with lice may notice bare patches of skin, where the hair has been rubbed off as a result of the discomfort caused by these parasites. These symptoms usually are worse when sucking lice are involved.
Dogs that are heavily infested with sucking lice may develop mild to severe anemia, because those lice feed on and will deplete the dogs of blood, proteins and other essential nutrients. Anemia is an abnormal reduction in the number of circulating red blood cells. Red blood cells are necessary to deliver oxygen and other key nutrients throughout the body, and to remove waste products from all tissues. Dogs that are severely anemic, whether from sucking lice, ticks, internal parasites or otherwise, may require intravenous blood transfusions or supplementation with iron, vitamins and other minerals.
Sucking lice are slow-moving external parasites; in fact, most of the time they are virtually motionless. Biting lice, on the other hand, tend to move more quickly, although they still are considered to be slow-movers. Biting lice feed on the flakes and scales of a dog’s skin, not on its blood, and they usually are less irritating than sucking lice. Unlike fleas, lice do not jump from one dog to another. However, they can be spread by direct physical dog-to-dog contact. This can happen anywhere, but it most commonly occurs in boarding kennels, animal shelters, grooming facilities, dog parks and other situations where a number of dogs are in close proximity. Dogs that share bedding, crates or runs with unfamiliar dogs have an increased risk of becoming infected with lice.
A diagnosis of pediculosis (louse infestation) is usually made when an owner, groomer or veterinarian visually identifies adult lice or their eggs, which are called “nits,” on a dog - especially in soiled areas under matted hair. Adult lice look more like specks of dirt than insects. They can be difficult to detect when only a few are present. However, they typically are easy to see when there is significant infestation. Adult lice tend to stick to a dog’s skin, rather than to its hair. On the other hand, nits - which look like grains of white sand - do stick to a dog’s hair, especially at the base of the hair shaft. Sometimes, louse nits look like flakes of dandruff that closely resemble Cheyletiella mites (so-called “walking dandruff”). When these insects are examined under a microscope or magnifying glass, the differences between them become readily apparent.
Because lice cannot survive for long off of their particular host, they are almost never found living freely in the environment. This distinguishes them from fleas, ticks and most other external dog parasites. Lice are one of the easiest of all canine parasites to treat. They are easily killed by topical insecticides. Some of the more common insecticides used to treat pediculosis include lime-sulfur, pyrethrins and pyrethroids. Many authorities recommend that the infested dog, and all other dogs that it has been in close contact with, be treated every 1 to 2 weeks, for at least 4 weeks, with an insecticidal shampoo, dip or powder. A number of canine flea-control products are reportedly effective at killing or preventing infestation of lice. However, some insecticides and preventatives are not recommended for use in or on pregnant bitches or young puppies. Bedding that was used by an infected animal probably should be disposed of in an outside garbage receptacle. Alternatively, owners can try to disinfect and sanitize the dog’s bedding, along with its sleeping area, grooming equipment, leashes, collars and any other areas that it frequented. A veterinarian is in the best position to advise owners about the appropriate methods to prevent and to treat canine lice.

Life as an Expatriate in Jakarta

As soon as I exited Lynas Malaysia, I started working for a Japanese PHE manufacturer. I was told beforehand that I was going to be sent off to Jakarta to take care of their PHE business in Indonesia once my 3-week training ended. I accepted the offer nonchalantly since I'd had some pretty cool experiences in Jakarta in 2010 when DCI sent me for a 2-week training on formalin and formaldehyde-based glue production with its Indonesian subsidiary. Unfortunately, I had to move back to Malaysia in Dec'14. My stay in Jakarta was cut short due to some inevitable circumstances.

Jakarta is massively large. It's a city made up of 10 million people based on the Indonesian government census in 2010, almost 5 times the size of Kuala Lumpur. Hence, it's not a surprise that the city is divided into 5 subdistrics or municipalities to ease things up on the administration side:
Central Jakarta: You can find the Grand Indonesia Mall, Plaza Indonesia and JW Marriot Jakarta here. Most of the Indonesian government offices are also located in this district.
North Jakarta: It is bordered by the Java Sea and houses Indonesia's famous Theme Park called Dunia Fantasi,
South Jakarta: Most of the expats, designer shopping malls and affluent neighborhoods are found here,
East Jakarta: Taman Mini Indonesia Indah and Jakarta's 2nd Airport (Halim Perdanakusuma) are located here,
West Jakarta: Accommodates the Central Park Mall, Pullman Hotel and my lovely abode that I shared with my friend, the Royal Mediterania Garden.

The 5 subdistricts of Jakarta

Jakarta is infamous for its traffic congestion though I wouldn't describe it as chaotic as Indonesian drivers are much more well-behaved and well-mannered compared to Malaysian drivers in almost all aspects. What's more interesting is that it's always peak hour in Jakarta on weekdays no matter which part of Jakarta you're in. Expect scattered traffic congestion on weekends. By the way, driving in Jakarta for an impatient Malaysian like me for the first time proved difficult since I was not used to the slow-mo cars, bikes, trucks and buses on the road. Don't worry though as a few drives in and around the city will get you used to it in no time.

I remember on my third day in Jakarta, I had to drive all the way from Kebon Jeruk, West Jakarta (our representative office) to Purwakarta to visit a client. It took me 3 hours to get there, a duration which was average. My friend actually warned me not to get on the Karawang toll road (expressway) after 1500hrs or I'd be stuck in a massive traffic crawl all the way to Jakarta. Unfortunately, I got carried away during the discussion with my client and happened to leave Purwakarta at 1600hrs. As expected, I got stuck in the maddest traffic crawl of my life beginning at Karawang. I reached my apartment around 2200hrs, totally spent!
Kebon Jeruk to Purwakarta

I've been told to avoid major places of interest in Jakarta during the festive seasons. I took it a step further throughout my stay there by shying away as much as I could from the so-called hotspots in Central Jakarta, especially the areas surrounding the JW Marriot.  The Marriot had been bombed twice in 2003 and 2009 respectively. These bombings and the 2002 Bali bombings should explain why cars are required to be thoroughly inspected upon entry to the car parks at all economic interests in Jakarta. And you need to go through metal detector checkpoints and bags are required to be scanned at all entry points. I went to the Grand Indonesia Mall, which was just a few kilometres away from the Marriot. Security was really tight. In 2010 when the Manager of our Indonesian Subsidiary brought me to Plaza Indonesia, security was tight but I remember they didn't have metal detector and X-ray scan checkpoints. It was only physical inspection upon entry to the car park. Security got even tighter after that I believe.

I happened to also have the chance to visit Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII) and I liked the place very much. According to my SGI Indonesia friend, if you want to get to know about Indonesia in less than a day, the TMMI is the best place to visit. Well, she was right. There is a map of Indonesia displayed on a man-made lake in the park. If you take the cable car, you'd be able to view it better. The park also accommodates houses of various cultures and sub-ethnics in Indonesia.

 

 


I like Jakarta and I like the city a lot. Jakartans are extremely nice people, they are really helpful and courteous. The traffic may be horrible but it is actually just a small matter as you'll get used to it in a week or less. There are plans to build Light Rail Transit in the city to alleviate the traffic condition. In another 5 years, the city will further see a positive transformation to both its traffic and economic activities.

Why you shouldn't buy that Puppy in the Window

A Culture of Perfection
Watch any of the "reality" television shows starring beautiful people and you'll see something we cultivate in our culture: the pursuit of perfection. It's often difficult to resist, and it's reinforced everywhere in the media, in TV ads, magazines and newspapers. Everyone is at risk, women especially and men. Athletes and other sports performers succumb to it. These cultural messages feed the deepest insecurity in ourselves and encourage us to believe we must be something different from who we really are. We hold ourselves to an impossible standard: perfection.

Perfect Pure-breed Pups
And it is the pursuit of perfection that compels many to look for the best breed of dog, hence the existence of countless pup breeders in this world. These pup breeders could be accidental breeders, small time backyard breeders and large scale commercial breeders. It is immature to label all pup breeders unethical. Accidental breeders who happen to own two dogs that are coincidentally a male and a female sometimes fail to separate them during their mating season resulting in a litter of pups delivered. While backyard breeders only allow their dogs to mate when neighbors, friends or relatives show interests in their off springs. These people are normally looking for the perfect pups to be their pets.

The inhumane part in question is when pups are bred in large scale commercial breeding operations. These commercial breeders normally run a large scale dog breeding facility called a puppy mill or puppy farm. A puppy mill is most of the time operated with an emphasis on profits over the wellbeing of the dogs bred with substandard conditions of care often the norm. Similar types of operations also exist for other animals most commonly kept as pets or used as feed for other animals.

Puppy Mill
Many pictures of puppy mills have grazed the internet as a result of exposure by animal advocates. Pictures like below where the pups are confined in cramped up cages have drawn many animal advocates to decry puppy farming:



Puppy mills treat dogs as simple commodities to be fully exploited. Housing usually consists of a wire pen that may be shared with one or more additional dogs. As many cages as possible are crammed into each facility, with tiny cages stacked on top of each other. There is usually no bedding. Dogs spend their lives on the wire mesh, and urine and feces rain through the cages or collect on the floor. Protection from the elements may be minimal with inclement conditions in rainy season and stifling heat all year round. Accounts of conditions related during visits by animal advocates are hair-raising, stomach-turning and infuriating. Dogs of all sizes are raised in puppy mills, but the in-demand smaller breeds are especially exploited. Some operations house as many as 1000 dogs and their pups. Many breeding dogs receive inadequate food, water, and health care throughout their lives. Most get no socialization, no grooming, and no exercise. In order to maximize profits, each breeding female must have as many litters as possible. Little regard is given to producing healthy pups; if the pups are superficially appealing they will sell regardless of hidden problems. Dogs continue to be bred even when they show serious health problems or suffer injuries. When her ability to produce pups wanes, a dog may be sold at a wholesale auction or simply euthanized. Some discarded dogs become research subjects. Crowded and insanitary conditions lead to a range of health problems including both internal and external parasites, respiratory infections, eye diseases and skin conditions. Bad teeth result from bad food and lack of dental care. Some dogs go "cage crazy" from the overcrowding and lack of exercise. Some dogs are attacked and trampled by their cage mates. Pups produced under these conditions may have health problems that prematurely end their lives and saddle their owners with steep veterinary bills.

Pet Stores
Most pet stores obtain their stock from puppy mills. Many pups sold online, in magazines, and in newspaper ads are products of the factory farming of dogs. It is truly shameful, therefore, that we continue to tolerate the existence of puppy mills for churning out the maximum number of puppies with the minimum amount of effort and expenditure, and with little regard for the health or comfort of either the adult dogs or their pups. So when you are at a pet store looking for the perfect pet of yours, think of the sufferings that the pup may have had to go through. With every MYR spent on a pet store puppy, a mill is driven to produce another litter of dogs in deplorable conditions. Buying a dog is a huge commitment and shouldn’t ever be done on impulse. As much as you want to "rescue" that doggie in the window, it only continues the vicious cycle of the puppy mill industry.

Adopt from Animal Shelters
When you deal with an ethical breeder, remember there is always no pet store acting as the middleperson to take a slice of the profits. Accidental breeders and backyard breeders whom you personally know are mostly good breeders who will charge no more than what pet stores are charging for their dogs. Maybe you’ll have to wait a bit, but that’s a small price for a dog that will be right for you. Better yet, visit your local shelters and consider the adoption option! You’ll find dogs of all ages and breeds – from purebreds to the latest in “designer dogs!”

The Start of 2015

2015 kicked off with my 2014 Altis lightly grazed on the rear bumper. When I first dropped by the parking lot, I didn't realize the front portion of the 2014 Estima had crossed the line of its parking box. I was only planning to warm up the engine until I noticed  that the Estima was peculiarly close to the behind of my car. I checked it out and there you go:



What I saw riled me and all sorts of negative ideas shot through my brain. I thought about using brute force on that Estima (smashing the hood with a blunt object), then I realized I wasn't 'KIKI' (the infamous road bully girl who terrorized an old man in Kuantan last year when her car was rammed into) and backed away. What angered me was how dumb can you be to ram into someone's car right in front of you when your Estima is obviously equipped with state-of-the-art proximity sensors on the front bumpers? And that's a 2014 Estima we're talking about, not some run down Nissan Datsun!


I snapped a few photos as proof that the Estima had crossed its parking box line and drove forward my Altis to take a good shot of the scratches caused by the Estima's number plate. They were deep and I doubt they would go away even after being polished. I waited for the driver to come get his/her car. Just as I thought, it belongs to a middle-aged 'CHINESE' couple with 2 children and an old woman. I confronted the husband and he was apologetic but the wife was quite rude. 'BITCH', you nudged into my rear bumper and you had the guts to be impolite when I asked you to be careful next time? You're obviously not the only one driving a 'NEW' and 'EXPENSIVE' car. I have photos as proof and I can make you pay dearly 'BITCH'. She was taken aback and I didn't press charges. I threw the 'KIKI' face at her as I drove away and parked somewhere safe from these 'RETARDS'

So PEM 4848, I'm WATCHING YOU!!! And to all Penang drivers, I'm WATCHING YOU too.
