Son may appreciate in the future

It will be nice if a son sincerely communicate with his father. A caring father find it difficult to know his son is sick from an indirect source. Naturally, caring father try to find out from indirect source of information when a son mentioned that his ' happy memory is almost all from other sources.'

A son sick for more than 2 weeks can get second opinion from university professors, caring tutors, or at least look up internet information. Coughing and sick for a long period of time is definately not a simple cold or flu which usually last for a few days ( 3 to 6) when most body built sufficient antibodies against the virus.

Son ( or daughter) will learn to appreciate one day ( may be very soon ) the love and care provided naturally by the natural father.

100 % victim of the problem, as far as the individual is concerned. 100 % feel by the one who is sick...Never too late to take action to find a way to cure.

After that go for vaccination yearly. It is very helpful to boost up body resistance

Kidney Transplant

Surgeons Use New High-Definition Robot

performing living-donor kidney transplants using a new high-definition robotic surgery system that offers improved precision, shorter recovery and smaller incisions for the donor patient.

With conventional laparoscopy, the surgeon must look up and away from the instruments to a nearby two-dimensional video monitor to see an image of the target anatomy. The surgeon must also rely on an assistant to position the camera correctly.

In contrast, the da Vinci System's design allows the surgeon to see the target anatomy in high-definition 3-D and operate from a comfortable, seated position at the console, with eyes and hands positioned in line with the instruments.

Red and Green

Mr. Goh, my good friend has a good laugh when I mentioned that the most common
colour blindness sicknessis unable to see red colour.

We discussed the share market viewing board with Red to indicate down for most market and Green for up.

However, China use Red for up and green for down. this is similar to the Chinese culture of using Red colour for happy occasion such as Chinese New year.

Today the whole world share market is Red except China.......the share market in China is Green colour.

total health include mental health

So

Few friends cannot sleep due to whole world financial melt down...

share market, metals, houses, properties..all depreciate in value..

Stock and share is badly hit..oh, currency loss too

It is like doing regualr exercise and taking food food regularly to prepare for natural hazard...then our body is strong to last for a period of time..

Prevention is always better than cure..

Saving now is having a borad sense...prepare for any emergency use..

wishing all friends good health, and good luck

Habits for Healthy Skin

• Avoid the sun during high-intensity hours. The sun's rays are most damaging from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Reduce the time you spend outdoors during these hours.
• Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also, keep in mind that certain clothing styles and fabrics offer better protection from the sun than do others. For example, long-sleeved shirts offer better protection than short-sleeved shirts do. And tightly woven fabrics such as denim are better than loosely woven fabrics such as knits.
• Use sunscreen. Apply sunscreen liberally 20 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every two hours, after heavy sweating or after being in water
• Don't smoke

  Smoking can accelerate the normal aging process of your skin, contributing to wrinkles. Skin changes from smoking can be seen in young adults who have been smoking for as few as 10 years.

• Wash your skin gently

  Cleaning is an essential part of caring for your skin. The key is to treat your skin gently.

• Use warm water and limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time to about 15 minutes or less, and use warm, rather than hot, water.
• Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps — those most capable of stripping oil from your skin — can leave your skin dry. Instead, choose mild soaps with oils and fats added to them during the soap manufacturing process.
• Avoid irritating additives. If your skin is sensitive, avoid products containing perfumes or dyes. These can irritate your skin and may trigger an allergic response.
• Remove eye makeup carefully. Use a soft sponge, cotton cloth or cotton balls when removing eye makeup to avoid damaging the delicate tissue around your eyes. If you wear heavy, waterproof makeup, you may need to use an oil-based product such as petroleum jelly.
• Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on the skin. Immediately moisturize your skin with an oil or cream.

4. Moisturize regularly

Moisturizers help maintain your skin's natural moisture levels. They work by providing a seal over your skin — to keep water from escaping — or by slowly releasing water into your skin.

The moisturizer that's best for you and the frequency with which you need to moisturize depends on many factors, including your skin type, your age and whether you have specific conditions such as acne. A good way to test if you need a moisturizer is to wait 20 minutes after bathing. If your skin feels tight, you should apply a moisturizer.

Select a moisturizer with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 to help protect your skin from damaging ultraviolet rays.

wishing you good health

No news is good news.

Heard of 3 Typhoon sotrm in Pacific Ocean rescently. Once it is over,

世界首创 澳洲医糖尿 免截肢保腿

新疗法的临床试验，研究人员在他大腿的股动脉植入一个仪器，并与体外的血泵连接。

　　借助高压血泵，快坏死的腿部从他体内得到血液供应，血液流量增加了250%，刺激了新血管的生长。

　　莱恩说，经5天、50小时的泵血疗程，布朗的足部渐变暖、有血色，知觉明显改善，溃疡的足部和趾头慢慢愈合。

　　他指出，激活布朗本身的血管，促使他下肢恢复血液供应，避免了截肢。布朗接受治疗一年后，依旧可以靠自己的双腿行走。
