Hope by Jan 09, everything would be much better. I would be able to start to plan what I want to do. hehe...
Last Friday, I am not feeling well... I feel so weak till I cant get up the bed. At abt 10am+, I have to force myself to see doctor to get medicine. The whole day was so weak till I cant do anything. Sat I still feel very weak, but need to go have an early dinner with one of my church sister, as she leaving my church. So out from early afternoon till midnight... as traveling always took a lot of my time... Sometime really hate it. Midnight, my primary classmates ask me to go for coffee... Lucky I rejected... They reached home after 4am.
Sunday wake up early to went for church service. Then follow by my primary classmate, Zhiming house warming. Then rest a bit at home, go tampines to have dinner with my parents they all... After dinner, my stomach was upset till now... Haiz.... =(
Sick again
After taking the medicine, my mouth still now still feel so bitter... Never like that... sob sob

Primary classmates gathering at east coast bbq 8 Nov 2008
That day itself zhiming had a small accident while trying to help 2 ladies from the pit beside us open red wine bottle. The cut was deep that Zhiming had 6 stitches on both his hand at the clinic. Yixin & I sent him to the clinic at bedok. It really scare us, as we saw that his blood keep flowing out non-stop.
At abt 3am+ when we abt to leave the place, it sudden rain so heavily till all of us was wet and cool. All of us feel we back to primary school times as we recall our last time being caught in the rain like this. Bring back a lot of memories.
After the guys have part, yixin, ping went to my home to stay over. we chat till abt nearly 7am then we fall asleep. =)

Card specially for Venus
That day I am late for the combine cg due to preparation for Sunday school in the evening time.
When I step into the room, I saw venus father was in tears during his sharing. At that point, I am still not aware what was happening. In the room for 5mins, I roughly know what was happening. Shortly, after that we pray for the family and specially for venus. A lot of us was in tears.
Now all of us are happen because venus was discharge from the hospital. She is resting at home. Really hope she will be totally cure soon. Able to resume her daily actives and see her at church.

Monday blue
Saturday been travelling. Almost cover the whole of Singapore. Morning Tiong bahru, follow by Bukit Gombak, then Yishun, Tampines last stop home @Bedok.. It really tried to travel so much. Actually I really don't like it. It just that I am trying to make myself use to it.
Saturday is always a day without rest... Always need to travel around, from one stop to another. =(
Sunday didn't go out, initially wanted to go cycling with xiuru but due to the rain, it has to be cancel. Stay at home, do a bit of clean up at my room. It getting more n more untidy. haha... just too lazy to make myself move.

Went to Singapore Garden Festival 2008
Yesterday day, Cheong Wee, Xiuru and I went for Singapore Garden Festival 2008 at suntech after work. It kind of rushed. If only we have more time to walk. keke...
We walked till they closed shop. I haven't even finish walking the whole of level 4. If I know, I will spent more time at level 4 as I love orchid. Level 6 the it was more of the landscape. Therefore Cheong Wee don't really like it. Can't wait to get hold of all the photos from Cheong Wee and Xiuru.
Dinner at Miss Clarity
Last mintue therefore i thought i couldnt managed to find ppl to have dinner with me. Lucky ping jie is free. She brought me to Miss Clarity inbetween bugis and city hall mrt station. The food there is not bad.
After that we went to bugis intend to do some shopping. Ended we just bought a bottle of mulberry juice and went home. It just too heavy. I bought that because the sale person mention that is good for those who smoke. Remind me of my dad. He will defininely will not quit smoking. Therefore, heard of anything that is good for him, will try to get and let him try it out.
Be still and know He is God
Sometimes when we want to hear from God, we expect Him to make Himself known in a big and mighty way. After all, He is a big and mighty God, right? In the story of the prophet Elijah, God had told Elijah to go stand on a mountain. A mighty windstorm came and knocked rocks loose. But God was not in the wind. Then there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. Next there was a fire, but God was not in the fire, either. Finally, after the fire, there was the sound of a still small voice. Elijah covered his face when he heard it.
God was in the whisper. (1 Kings 19:10-13)
In our loud and busy lives we have become used to getting everything quickly and satisfying our needs while on the run out the door or through a drive-thru window. Kids, family, friends, and work all contribute to the windstorms, earthquakes, and fires in our everyday lives. And when we have a problem or an issue in our lives, we wonder why we can't hear God.
"Where is God?" you might ask.
Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still and know I am God!" Be still. Slow down for five minutes. Take a deep breath. Focus on God and the blessings He has given you. He is always there. Spend some quiet time and maybe you will hear that still small voice that calls out to you.
Sunday
Suppose to go for tennis at 5pm but it is raining now. I cant contact bingsoon and viven. Don't know what happen. Zhihua have fly kite again. Look like the hope of playing tennis.... haiz...
Physical tired
Cycling @east coast
Took some photos, will only be able to upload next sunday. forget to ask ping ping to bluetooth me. Actually we plan to play badminton but we couldn't manage to book a court. It all rite... we still manage to do some exercise.
Cant wait till next sunday evening, we plan to play tennis. keke... long time never play tennis. really miss my secondary time. play tennis at least twice per wk for 2hour each session.
Lewis birthday card
Coming Sunday school
Having a lot of ideas in mind...but it kind of hard to do everything at one go. This wk will be teaching the little 3 songs. "耶和華是我牧者", Here am I to Worship, & Tell the world. This time I will use power point for the visual aid.
The ice-breaking game, we thinking of playing a short clip to show the kids. My partner teacher thinking of showing cartoon. While as for me is thinking of showing how other little kids worship. As my little students, always not serious during worship time. But I also feel they have improve. As I been teaching them for 2wk straight. I can hear their voice now, as compare the first time I teach them.
I think the little kids always enjoys my craft. This is something, I always feel vy prove and enjoys doing. Must be because I always enjoys doing craft. I always have the passion. Hope my little students will enjoys this wk sunday school and learn something out from it.
Not feeling too well
Actually it started yday. I went to toilet for 4 times... after that, I went to bed early... this morning when I waked up, I thought I am fine...Now starting to feeling a bit weak... =(
The Importance of Intercession ....
and only two of the men on it were able
to swim to a small, desert-like island.
The two survivors, not knowing what else to do,
agreed that they had no other recourse
but to pray to God.
However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful,
they agreed to divide the territory between them
and stay on opposite sides of the island
The first thing the first man prayed for was food.
The next morning, the first man saw
a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land,
and he was able to eat its fruit.
The other man's parcel of land remained barren.
After a week, the first man was lonely
and he decided to pray for a wife.
The next day, another ship was wrecked,
and the only survivor was a woman
who swam to his side of the land.
On the other side of the island,
there was nothing.
Soon the first man prayed for a house,
clothes, more food.
The next day, like magic,
all of these were given to him.
However,
the second man still had nothing..
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship,
so that his wife and he could leave the island.
In the morning, he found a ship docked
at his side of the island.
The first man boarded the ship with his wife
and decided to leave the second man on the island.
He considered the other man unworthy
to receive God's blessings,
since none of his prayers had been answered.
As the ship was about to leave,
the first man heard a voice booming down from Heaven ……
'Why are you leaving your companion on the island?'
'My blessings are mine alone,
since I was the one who prayed for them,'
the first man answered.
'His prayers were all unanswered,
and so he does not deserve anything.'
'You are mistaken!'
the voice rebuked him.
'He had only one prayer,
which I answered.
If not for that, you would not have
received any of my blessings!'
'Tell me,' the first man asked the voice,
'what did he pray for that I
should owe him anything?'
'He prayed that all your prayers be answered…'
For all we know, our blessings are not
the fruits of our prayers alone,
but those of another praying for us.
When Jesus died on the cross
he was thinking of you and me!

Living the good life
Your body loses about two quarts of water a day through perspiration, urination, and exhalation. If you wait until you are thirsty to drink water, then you are most likely already dehydrated.
Almost 70% of the human body is made up of water. Water plays two major roles in human metabolism. It delivers oxygen and nutrients throughout the body and it flushes out toxins during the metabolic process.
Did you know...?
You muscles are about 75% water.
Your brain cells are about 85% water.
Your blood is approximately 82% water.
Your bones are approximately 25% water.
How Is Water Related To Health?
A recognized physician, F.Batmanghelidj, MD in his book titled ‘Water for Health, for Healing, for Life', points out some of the benefits of keeping your body properly hydrated:
Water is the main lubricant in the joint spaces and helps prevent arthritis and back pain.
Water increases the efficiency of the immune system.
Water prevents clogging of arteries in the heart and brain, and thus helps reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Water is directly connected to brain function.
Water helps prevent memory loss as we age, reducing the risk of degenerative diseases.
Water affects our appearance, making our skin smoother and giving it sparkling luster; it also reduces the effects of aging.
Did you know...?
Chlorine, is the Anti-Vitamin.
Chlorinated water can destroy nutrients your body needs: Vitamins A, B, C, and E, and fatty acids. Chronic skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and eczema may clear or improve by simple switching to unchlorinated drinking water.)
The water we drink from typical sources is very different from the water that constitutes 70% of our body. Our water has been depleted of all the minerals and nutrients that once was naturally found in water...So, what do we really need?
A way to return our water to what it once was, to restore the necessary minerals back into our internal water system. There is now a product that actually puts these resources back into our existing water.
Scientists have patented a new product that makes it easy to have good health drinking good water again. A product called, Xtreme x2o!
Why Do We Need Xtreme x2o?
What are the benefits of drinking Xtreme x2o?
1) Hydrate: Xtreme x2o actually makes our water "wetter" by physically changing the molecular structure. This dramatically improves your body's hydration at the cellular level.
2) Mineralize: Xtreme x2o contains calcium, magnesium and over 70 trace minerals. These essential minerals (electrolytes) become ionic in water allowing them to be absorbed quickly and easily.
3) Revitalize: Alkalinity = good health. Xtreme x2o transforms your water into a powerful alkalizing agent while creating numerous beneficial antioxidants. This radically reduces stress levels and slows the aging process caused by today's fast-paced lifestyles.
Now, with Xtreme x2o, you can drink to your pink of health! So safe, even your children can enjoy all the benefits without need to boil!
Next month look for my article addressing what happens if we don't keep our bodies ph balanced... And then we'll also talk about losing weight drinking water.

The Role Acidity Has On Health
Technically speaking, pH stands for the Power of Hydrogen. Broken down to the simplest form, our bodies are composed of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. The pH measures the action of hydrogen and the balance of acidity and alkalinity in the body.
When testing the acidity of the body, say the arterial blood, you would test the pH. When testing pH, the result is a number from 0 to 14. Neutral is 7 with lower numbers representing an acidic condition and higher numbers representing an alkaline condition.
Our bodies are alkaline by design. All of the cells that make up the body are slightly alkaline and must stay that way to remain healthy and alive. The optimum range of body pH is from 7.2 to 7.6, slightly alkaline, with the normal for arterial blood as 7.4.
Why Do We Become Acidic? The pH measures the condition of critical bodily fluids. These fluids make up our internal environment that is critical to our health. Simply stated, an acid system is conducive to sickness while alkalinity is required for normal healthy cellular function.
Every living cell within our body creates acidic waste products! Nutrients from the food we eat are delivered to each cell and burn with oxygen to provide energy for us to live. The by-product of this metabolic process is waste products. Virtually all waste products are acidic and therefore must be discharged from our body, typically disposed of through the urine, perspiration and exhaling carbon dioxide.
One of the possible causes of the aging process and a host of potential chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, sarcopenia, kidney stones, osteoporosis and stroke to name a few is the accumulation of acidic wastes in the body due to years of having a condition called low-grade acidosis that has a corresponding lowered blood pH.
It is now believed by many authorities, that most adult degenerative diseases may develop because of a lowering of the function and resistance of the body due to chronic acidosis. Acidosis is thought to precede and cause disease. The well body succumbs to physical disorders when its own acid debris accumulates to the point where resistance is broken down and the body becomes susceptible to cold, fatigue, nerve exhaustion and eventually degenerative disease.
Why is it so Difficult to Stay Alkaline? Our bodies are in a constant state of metabolizing. The problem is that the process of metabolism creates acid, which is needed for energy and other biochemical processes. Normal healthy metabolism creates acid wastes such as cholesterol, uric acid and acetic acid. Even with the best diet these acid wastes are unavoidable but they must be neutralized and eliminated from the body or harsh consequences will result.
To further compound the problem, our food, water and air are loaded with acid forming substances like chlorine and an increasing assortment of chemicals. Soft drinks, especially colas (pH 2.5), are extremely acid forming and are the mainstay of our children's diets. Poor choices of foods, acidic ingredients and low mineral content all contribute to a condition of acid overload.
Maintaining a proper, slightly alkaline pH is considered the most important aspect of a healthy body and a long disease-free life. An imbalance of alkalinity creates a condition favorable to the growth of bacteria, viruses, yeast and other harmful organisms.
Accumulation of acid wastes are also closely linked with degenerative disease, lack of vitality and aging in general. Even when there is no toxic substances in our food, there are waste products that must either be eliminated or stored. Toxins change into poison and must be detoxified or they will eventually destroy the system.
Our Bodies Defense Systems - The human body has an incredible ability to maintain life, however the compensations our bodies are forced to make come with a price. As the damage accumulates over a period of years we may experience no obvious ill effects but eventually the bill comes due and we pay the price.
Having an acidic pH is like driving your car with the oil light on. The car will continue to run without any apparent problem but eventually it will simply stop. To maintain life our blood and cells must be defended against all of this acidity. Should we become too acidic, we would die.
Fortunately we have what amounts to an alkaline mineral bank in our bicarbonate reserves. To buffer the acid overload the body will make withdrawals from this bank account. While this is effective in the short term, in the long run we see our bicarbonate reserves become depleted and bones becoming more brittle with age that can result in osteoporosis.
Another way the body alkalizes the blood and raises the pH is to solidify acids in the blood and deposit them as solid wastes in the tissues of the body. This enables our blood to remain in an acceptable alkaline pH range but as these harmful by-products accumulate, overall pH goes lower or more acidic, oxygen levels fall, and the seeds of a variety of degenerative diseases are sowed.
This process of gradually depleting minerals from the bones and building up acidic deposits in body tissues is a slow one. For many years we have no symptoms, no clue as to the storm that is building. Eventually we begin to experience aches and soreness, declining energy levels, and other subtle signs that we associate with getting older.
These are not an inevitable part of getting older. They are warning signs. Many adult chronic conditions may be directly associated with an acid pH and a low grade acidosis.
What is the Aging Process? As we age, we gradually dry up at the cellular level. As the years go by, the cells of the body (where all biochemical processes occur) become thicker. As a result the amounts of vital nutrients and oxygen brought into them declines while the amounts of toxins and metabolic waste products increases. The result is a loss of youthful cellular function and the beginnings of degenerative disease.
Can This be Avoided? Consider this: "Dr. Alexis Carrell, a famous French physiologist, conducted an experiment in which he took cells from the heart of a chicken and put them in a solution containing minerals and nutrients in the same proportion as chicken blood. Every day he changed the solution keeping the fluids constant and disposing of the waste products produced by the cells. The result, for which he won a Nobel Prize, was the chicken heart lived for over 28 years. When he stopped changing the solution the cells promptly died."
As revealing as this experiment was, the question remains, how can we accomplish this in the living system? What steps can we take to achieve similar results? To answer that question, we first must explore the cause of aging.
The Cause of Aging - Phosphoric Acid is produced in protein metabolism. Excess amounts are solidified as salts and can result in the formation of kidney stones. These acid salts also build up in the walls of our cells and cause them to stiffen. The resulting thickening creates an inability to properly hydrate the cells. It also creates a severe decline in nutrient and oxygen delivery into the cells and toxin and waste removal from the cells. In other words, a steady decline in cellular function results in what we call aging. Highly alkaline nutrients found in fruits and vegetables can wash these acid salts away and help return cells to a more youthful level of function.
How Health Conditions Are Linked to Acidity
Osteoporosis - One highly alkaline mineral responsible for neutralizing acids in the body is calcium. If we allow our pH to decline into an acidic condition the body is forced to withdraw calcium from the bones and teeth in order to maintain life.
In spite of the tremendous push over the last 20 years for calcium supplementation, the incidence of osteoporosis has increased dramatically. The drain placed on bone mineral content by excess acidity is simply too great. The prevalence of low or acid pH places incredible strain on our bones and teeth. In areas like where the Hunza people live, they are blessed with abundant highly-alkaline drinking water and eat alkaline fruits andvegetables problems like osteoporosis do not exist.
Cardiovascular Disease - Cholesterol is an acidic by-product of fat metabolism. As the body becomes more acidic, it defends itself by solidifying cholesterol in the blood and depositing it in the cells of our blood vessels. Over a period of years plaque builds until circulation is impaired resulting in surgery, medication or heart attacks and strokes.
When pH is raised to an alkaline condition the body is better able to neutralize these wastes and flush them out of the system. Not only does it help accumulation of plaque to stop but deposits may be dissolved, neutralized and washed away as well.
Arthritis - Another by-product of normal healthy metabolism is uric acid. Like cholesterol the body deals with excesses by solidifying it into a salt that tends to build up in the joints. The result is gout and arthritis. This accumulated acid can damage cartilage and irritate joints. Blood can not carry out wastes as effectively in the joints, which is why the acids tend to accumulate there. Consuming highly alkaline foods can do a good job of cleaning out the uric acid over time, remembering that it took years for the damage to accumulate.
Immune Function - The immune system is a sophisticated clean-up service. It is composed of your body's army of white blood cells or natural killer (NK) cells. Each NK cell is manufactured by your body as needed to kill off a specific invader. For example, there is a specific cell to kill cancer, another one for the cold germ, and still another for a virus. Sometimes, the pathogens multiply faster than the body can manufacture the matching NK cell hence advanced health challenges.
Wouldn't it be nice if we could help the immune system by preventing these pathogens from taking hold in the first place? Bacteria, viruses, moulds, yeast and fungus that attack our bodies thrive in an acidic environment. In a slightly alkaline environment they are weakened significantly and do not multiply efficiently.
In the preferred slightly alkaline pH range, the immune system can clear the potentially harmful microbes out more easily, often before we have any symptoms. They are weakened and do not multiply as prolifically. Ultimately health wins out.
Vitality - An acidic condition also corresponds to low oxygen levels. There is a direct correlation between pH and available oxygen. An alkaline environment provides literally thousands of times the oxygen needed for all bodily functions. Oxygen is essential to energy production. In very simple terms, natural energy production in the body boils down to oxygen burning hydrogen.
Another aspect of energy and vitality versus fatigue is proper enzyme activity. Acids literally turn off enzymes, which are tiny proteins that control chemical reactions. Without enzymes there is no life. Maintaining an alkaline pH in the range of 7.2 to 7.6 is critical to slowing down degeneration and maintaining a more youthful vitality.
Research in this field has been advanced by two world renowned scientists, Anthony Sebastian, MD and Lynda Frassetto, MD along with a team of their collogues from the University of California, San Francisco, Department of Medicine and General Clinical Research Center.
A summary of one of their scientific studies was published in the prestigious Journal of Gerontology in 1996, entitled "Age and Systemic Acid-Base Equilibrium: Analysis of Published Data" Journals of Gerontology Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences, Vol 51, Issue 1 B91-B99. The abstract is as follows:
Abstract of the Research Study - To investigate whether systemic acid-base equilibrium changes with aging in normal adult humans, we reviewed published articles reporting the acid-base composition of arterial, arterialized venous, or capillary blood in age-identified healthy subjects. We extracted or calculated blood hydrogen ion concentration ([H+]), plasma bicarbonate concentration ([HCO3(-)]), blood PCO2, and age, and computed a total of 61 age-group means, distributed among eight 10-year intervals from age 20 to100 years. Using linear regression analysis, we found that with increasing age, there is a significant increase in the steady-state blood [H+] (p < .001), and reduction in steady-state plasma [HCO3(-)] (p < .001), indicative of a progressively worsening low-level metabolic acidosis. Blood PCO2 decreased with age (p < .05), in keeping with the expected respiratory adaptation to metabolic acidosis. Such age-related increasing metabolic acidosis may reflect in part the normal decline of renal function with increasing age. The role of age-related metabolic acidosis in the pathogenesis of the degenerative diseases of aging warrants consideration. Explanation of the Research Study - Drs. Sebastian and Frassetto's research took samples of arterial blood from hundreds of people age 20 to 100 years to measure the pH level of acid wastes and their level of bicarbonate reserves. The study showed that as one gets older there's an increase in the accumulation of acid wastes and a corresponding decrease of alkaline bicarbonate [HCO3] reserves in the blood. Bicarbonates are the alkaline buffer reserves the body uses to neutralize acids. Figure 2 graph B, of their study showed that the alkaline bicarbonate reserves of the group remained fairly constant until the age of 45 and then it dropped off very sharply in a steep linear decline with an overall dramatic loss by the age of 90. By the way, 45 years of age is when most people start to show symptoms of the chronic diseases of aging like hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity and many others that gradually worsen as people get older. Drs. Sebastian and Frassetto's attribute the increase in acidic waste and reduction of the bicarbonate reserves in the blood as we age to generations of consuming the modern American diet that is high sodium intake and low in potassium. This type of relationship is reverse of what is healthy and contributes to an excess of sodium and a deficiency of potassium. The reduction of bicarbonates in the blood makes it difficult for the body to handle the continuous outpour of acid and nearly impossible for it to eliminate acid wastes. This is why it's felt that systemic acidosis caused from insufficient levels of bicarbonates in the blood may be responsible for many of the acid-induced degenerative diseases. Layman's Interpretation of the Research Study - In layman's terms, this study shows that as we age we have more acid radicals [H+] and less blood bicarbonates [HCO3], the alkaline minerals stored in the body whose job it is to neutralize excess acids, which can lead to age-related metabolic acidosis and resultant chronic disease. From reading this study one could deduce if the accumulation of acids due to metabolic acidosis cause the degenerative diseases of aging, then if a person could reduce the accumulation of acids in the body and decrease metabolic acidosis, maybe they could prevent the degenerative diseases commonly thought of as inevitable. The Bottom Line - The decline of bicarbonates in the blood with a corresponding increase of acids and a lowering of the arterial pH may promote aging and chronic conditions. Some may say that the reduction of bicarbonates is an unavoidable result of aging. However others suggest that the reduction of bicarbonates is the primary cause of physiological aging.

Importance of pH
VIBRANT HEALTH Starts With pH Balance!
Your body is really no different than many other living bodies:
-
Fish need the water that they swim in to be the correct pH - or they get sick and die.
-
Plants need the pH of the soil in which they live to be perfect in order to flourish.
-
Even good old Planet Earth needs balance...the balance between ALKALINE oxygen and ACIDIC carbon dioxide. And we all know what excess carbon dioxide emissions (imbalance) can do to the planet.
We welcome you to discover how your body's pH level impacts your overall health. We also wish to help you rediscover what we at Xooma call VIBRANT HEALTH.
When you think of the word "Health", what comes to mind?
Some would consider themselves "Healthy" if they were simply free from weight issues, digestive problems, aches and pains, or had more energy. At Xooma, we strive to help people discover the kind of health that is far greater than simply not being ill.
VIBRANT HEALTH actually donates and adds value to the rest of your life. It means that you have excess energy, a clear mind, a radiant glow, and a body that operates in a peak state.
Here's why pH Balance is so core to your health...and your life:
Because LIFE only exists where there's balance, and your body is totally regulated by pH!
Even though you are designed to operate in an alkaline state, your cells must produce acid in order to function. Optimal health...LIFE...can be found when those two forces are in balance.
When your body moves out of balance, LIFE takes a back seat.
Ultimately, when you discover pH Balance and get your body into this optimal state, you'll set the ENVIRONMENT for the 50 trillion cells that make up your body to thrive. Your skin cells will thrive, your blood cells will thrive, your muscle cells will thrive, your bone cells will thrive, your brain cells will thrive and on and on.
VIBRANT CELLS are the building blocks of a VIBRANT BODY and VIBRANT HEALTH...
and it ALL starts with pH Balance!
Forget counting calories, fat grams, and cholesterol. Forget blood pressure, blood sugar, and hormone levels. The single most important health measurement is the pH level in your blood. Now unlock the surprisingly crucial role of your pH balance. How acidic or alkaline your blood is (pH levels) directly affects your health. For example, if the blood becomes overly acidic it can lead to weight gain, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and more.
Science proves that fish in our oceans and lakes can only survive in properly balanced environments; trees in our forests can only grow in properly balanced soils; and people can only stay healthy if the body has a balance between its levels of ACID and ALKALINE
What is Acid/alkaline balance anyway?
acid/alkaline balance is all about what minerals stores, or "buffers" we have in our body. Too much acid and certain symptoms begin to appear.
Bob Livingston, Natural Health author summarizes the whole point well. He says:
“It is now believed by many authorities that most disease develops because of a lowering of the function and resistance of the body due to chronic acidosis. In this connection, Dr. George W. Crile, past head of the Crile Clinic in Cleveland and a world renown surgeons says, ‘There is no natural death. All deaths from so-called natural causes are merely the end-point of a progressive acid saturation.’
Acidosis precedes and provokes disease. The well body succumbs to physical disorders when its own acid debris accumulates to the point where resistance is broken down and the body consequently becomes suceptible to cold, fatigue, nerve exhaustion and degenrative disease.
When the body reaches limits of increasing toxins within the body, the digestive tract, or any of the body tissues, it begins a house-cleaning process that takes various forms: diarrhea, headache, colds, skin eruptions, abscesses or boils, rheumatism, inflammation of the eyes or other organs, catarrhs, chills, fevers, or anything that we recognize as acute disease. But all these spring from a common originating cause, an accumulation of acid waste in the body.”
(From: Foods That Alkalinize And Heal, by Mary C. Hogle.)
It is the minerals left in the body after consuming food that make up our balance, and therefore our ability to operate at maximum effeciency. It's like a car having good oil, but it sure can't fulfill its function for if we have poor quality or acidic corrosive oil!
A seven-year study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, on 9,000 women showed that those who have chronic acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels. Scientists who carried out this experiment believe that many of the hip fractures prevalent among middle-aged women are connected to high acidity caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables. This is because the body borrows calcium from the bones in order to balance pH. — American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
There is an abundance of information available on the important role acid/alkaline balance plays in our health.

i am so tired....really tired in physically and mentally...too many thing to do and to manage
Can you see the potential?
Personally, I never expect that this simple program had keep me pondering. Will this be just like another e-Commerce? Only time will tell.
Why? Because History will repeat itself!
The principle of Network Marketing is the vehicle by which any great product or service can be moved.
1st — Tupperware Corporation.
Tupperware was developed and founded, in 1938 by Earl Tupper. In 1946 they introduced Tupper Plastics to hardware and department stores. These were mom and pop organizations since there weren’t any major retail stores like we have today. Tupperware was not accepted at first, because societies’ thinking was not along the lines of sealing food in a plastic container. Retail sales from these stores lagged. So, in 1951, Mr. Tupper pulled all of his products from the stores and launched a network marketing campaign. By the 1970’s Tupperware was a household name throughout America. Today, somewhere in the world, there is a Tupperware demonstration every two seconds! Sales now exceed $1.2 Billion annually!
2nd — Shaklee.
Shaklee was founded in 1956 by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee along with his sons. Their products were nutritional supplements. The thinking of society at this time, and in the medical industry, was not on nutritional supplements. Only after WWII did the think of the medical community begin to change from curing diseases to maintaining proper health to prevent diseases. This helped fuel the growth for Shaklee. But Shaklee never took off until the 1970’s when they saw explosive growth, using the vehicle of Network Marketing.
There are a couple of items that I’d like to discuss about these companies before I talk about the third one.
Both companies were developed in a time in America when neither of these products were heard of or needed by society. So for approximately 20 years they had to educate people that they needed these products. When society accepted what they had to offer, these companies exploded in sales. Notice how long it took for these companies to get where they were going. 86% of the American people do not like change; they had to be educated to see that they needed these products. This takes stamina, money and even patience.
3rd – Xooma Worldwide.
This company is different from the other two because of the products and the thinking of society at the time of its formation.
Xooma was started by Ron Howell in 2005 with 15 years infrastructure and became one of the largest wellness company in America, in just 3 years! A Multi billion dollar giant in just 3 years! Do you see the difference in these three companies?
The key difference is the education of a society about a product. The first two had to educate society about their products while the third just rode the wave!
Most importantly, the vehicle for growth, Network Marketing! By turning on the people power through network marketing, along with all the other elements involved, we will make a fast and significant impact in the business world.
