Healthy Cereals to Keep Weight Down


Hi! Let me share with you one way which I use to eat cereals that does not need cow’s milk.

Add almond nuts (raw, whole, and unsalted), a couple of dates (pitted), and distilled water. Use unsalted cereals as far as possible. You don’t have to buy the commercially mixed cereals; they are rather expensive. Uncooked or unroasted oats, for example, is fine. Raw wholesome wheat germ can be added also to provide additional nutrients to your meal. Adding whole almonds gives you a nutty taste. It’s yummy and nutritious as well! Enjoy!

Raw Almonds

Alternatively, instead of adding raw almond nuts and distilled water directly into your cereal(s), try blending the two, strain the mixture with a cheesecloth, and you’ll get almond milk which is a healthy alternative to cow’s milk. Prior to blending, soak washed almonds (1 cup) in 4 cups of distilled water overnight in a refrigerator. You can add this milk to your cereals, if you prefer.

Of course, you may wish to vary by adding other food items like fruits, other unsalted nuts, etc. Try eating daily. Great way to lose a few pounds, or maintain your weight!

Toward healthier living,

Mattress that Makes a Big Difference!


Have you heard of a mattress1 that has
made a big difference to literally hundreds
of thousands, if not millions, of lives
throughout the world? Available in the
market for a number of years now, it’s
been certified by some of the most
stringent Health Authorities in the world!

The most recent testimony came from a
pastor who has completely recovered from
his liver cancer. The malignant growth was
about 14 cm in size. He testified that the
doctor gave him 3 months to live when he
was first diagnosed with the deadly disease.
The tumor progressively shrank in size while
he slept on the mattress and applied a device
which looked like a shower head, which is
able to emit not water, but health-giving
warming rays. This helped reduce his tumor;
two months2 after conscientious daily
usage of the mattress and its "shower head,"
the latest medical examination revealed
that he was cancer-free! Amazing, isn't it?
Praise God!

The above is one of numerous testimonies….
And it’s not just cancer; the mattress has
also helped people improve their lives
in untold number of other ways as well—
whether big or small; these include those
people with various other chronic or
degenerative diseases (including diabetes,
heart disease and high blood pressure)3,
pains and ailments. Many have reported
that their doctors have reduced their
medications dosage (which is indeed a
healthy sign), or are now no longer
depending on drugs for their medical
ailments/conditions. Isn't this good news?
Unbelievable, isn't it? It can't be that
so many of these people are exaggerating
or lying!

Does it also help prevent undesirable
sicknesses, syndromes, pains or diseases
as well? You bet!

Want to know more? Need some help or
advice?

1 Beware of getting imitation products!

2 Correction: Conversation with his wife
confirmed that it took only two months for
the cancer to disappear. I was really
surprised by the speed at which the tumor
regressed. He has had his bouts of poor
health since twenty years ago when he had
anemia, and later he contracted Hepatitis C
through his blood transfusions, which led
to cirrhosis, and finally terminal liver
cancer.

3 What are some examples of chronic diseases
and conditions? Some diseases and condit-
ions that begin from childhood include
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Diabetes
Types 1, and childhood asthma. Cases of
chronic conditions, illnesses and diseases
that are diagnosed during adulthood are
widespread as well as wide ranging. Some
examples of these are Diabetes Type 2,
high blood pressure, heart disease (coronary
artery disease, congestive heart failure,
congenital heart disease, etc.), cerebro-
vascular or brain/mental disease or condit-
ion (such as dementia, cerebral palsy, and
developmental delay), inflammatory bowel
disease (irritable bowel syndrome or IBS,
etc.), kidney disease (kidney failure..),
lung disease [including asthma and chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), usu-
ally resulting from emphysema and/or chronic
bronchitis], cancer, eye diseases (viz.,
glaucoma, cataract,...), arthritis (e.g.,
osteo-arthritis), hypercholesterolemia or
high cholesterol levels, erectile dysfunction,
inability to walk properly, irregular or
non-existent menses/menstruation, and
depression. The list goes on.

Kidney Transplant or Not?

(Please read the earlier blog)


Coming back to the question, “Has nature (or Has God) intended it that we should “rob,” or to say it more acceptably, purchase kidneys or other organs from each other? You might not like my answer, but I personally don’t think so. I believe that we are designed to remain as one piece, not one partial piece PLUS several grafts! Philosophically and out of a merciful heart, if a person has an accident that damaged his kidneys, or is on the verge of dying, and a kidney from a dead man’s body could save his life, maybe, it is justifiable to get a transplant done.

Many kidney specialists would advocate a kidney transplant, when they see a what-they-deem-as-hopeless situation. But the question is, have they or we, ourselves, really got no choice other than to opt for a transplant? Should we benefit at someone’s expense, perhaps even eventually costing the donor’s (or seller’s, whichever the case may be) earlier demise? Removing a kidney from a healthy person, and living on one kidney are each a risk in itself; I do not know what the level of risk actually is, but I do know that it can be very dangerous. Imagine running around with only one kidney! I’m not saying it isn’t possible, or that there’s no one who has succeeded to live on one or no kidney. But, to me, it is like running a vehicle around in the wilderness on uncharted soil where no one lives for miles on ends, with no spare tire! Nobody in his sound mind would ever do that! Like good spare tires in the desert, kidneys are rare commodities these days, with people queuing several years in wait of one, and tens of thousands perhaps dying each year because they waited in vain for one; and when the donor himself or herself needs one kidney to replace his ONLY ONE failing kidney that is left, he/she may be in hot soup waiting for one that is suitable! I submit to you: It’s not a question of being selfish here, is it? It’s a matter of survival!

Regardless of what the specialists think, believe or even advise, have you explored all the alternatives? Well, let me say that if you’re in such dire straits as the tycoon I mentioned in my last blog, then you haven't done enough homework; you haven't explored or even exhausted the alternative, but perhaps simpler and not-so-quick, approaches to treatment.

Most people, unfortunately, take the views of those whom they respect, especially when the latter are experts in their profession. Sad to say, no one’s view is infallible! The “wise” don’t always have all the answers; the simple often confounds the “wise.” Yet, many people scoff at simplicity and are in favor of the complicated procedure, which in this case is kidney transplantation.

May I say this: When experts tell you that you have no choice but to have your kidneys removed or transplanted, please take what they say with a grain of salt. They have been proven wrong many times before. Some wise soul may say, “Go for the second or third opinion.” But people tend to seek the opinion of people in the same field of expertise, who though their opinions sometimes differ, yet they often concur, meaning, they’d say, “Go for a transplant.” Kidney transplantation is not always absolutely needed even when your expert(s) tells you so!

You have a choice to choose for yourself……first to explore the available safer options. You also have your right to decide for yourself! There are indeed safer, more-longer-lasting, and better alternatives available. (I don’t just believe so; I know it’s so! My book, if I may mention it here, addresses some alternatives, and thanks to God, many have benefited from reading it; or you may wish to ask us). Just ask different experts from various fields, including those in alternative medicine, not just those from the conventional medical profession…Seeking various alternatives may take time, but it is necessary. After having explored your available options, you’ll then fall under the category of ‘the knowing.’ And then, and only then, will you be able to prove the simple truth of this famous saying: “…you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you (or your kidneys) free.” But be wary of knowing half truths, or knowing inadequately, since acting on that basis can be highly perilous.

Healthy—not sick—organs are products of careful planning, not accidents. Cultivating and maintaining long-lasting, healthy organs like kidneys is a science as well as an art; it’s no accident! Ultimately, it boils down to one policy: prevention is better than cure. True prevention is an active thing, not passive submission to the almost-certain, but not inevitable, onslaught of disease.
