Colon Cleanse

By Puteri, January 30, 2008 6:10 pm

I know some people who would do a regular Colon Cleanse. They swear by the benefits of having their colon cleansed regularly. They claim that it gives them great energy and a general feeling of well being.

I’ve only had to do a colon cleansing once and that was only because I had a medical procedure coming up. I couldn’t believe how much I had accumulated in my digestive system!

Anyway, if you want to do a colon cleansing be sure to use a product like Oxy-Powder because it is a scientifically formulated and an all natural cleanser. It does not have the embarrassing side effects of the laxatives and herbal cleansers.

Banned Books

By Puteri, January 30, 2008 5:24 pm

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia –Malaysia has banned 11 books for allegedly giving a false portrayal of Islam, such as by linking the religion to terrorism and the mistreatment of women, an official said Wednesday.

The government ordered the books – most of them released by U.S. publishers – to be blacklisted earlier this month “because they are not in line with what we call the Malaysian version of Islam,” said Che Din Yusoh, an official with the Internal Security Ministry’s publications control unit.

“Some of them ridicule Islam as a religion, or the facts are wrong about Islam, like associating Islam with terrorism … or saying Islam mistreats women,” he said. “Once you mention something which is not correct, it’s not proper.”

Full story here.

One of the banned books is called Islam Unveiled by Robert Spencer. That book has been translated into the Malay language and according to Spencer that book is still available in Indonesia.

What I find galling is the Malaysian Internal Security Ministry’s admission that the books were banned because “they are not in line with what we call the Malaysian version of Islam.”

That mindset is so typical of the Malay Muslim dominated Malaysian government. Instead of debating and arguing against the “false portrayal of Islam” they have instead chosen to suppress any views that they are not in line with theirs.

These 11 books are only the latest in the growing list of banned books in Malaysia.

What a crying shame! :evil:

The way to combat noxious ideas is with other ideas.The way to combat falsehoods is with truth.

iPod case

By Puteri, January 30, 2008 4:23 pm

I have a video iPod and I have taken great care not to scratch the screen. Scratches are such a distraction when you are trying to watch a video on a very small screen!

Most of the time my iPod is docked to the portable speakers that I got for it, but I do take my iPod with me on trips and it is on these trips that I worry about scratching the screen.

As such, I was quite delighted to discover an ipod case that is not only not bulky, but scratch proof, clear and ultra-thin as well. Actually it is an ultra-thin film that not only protects the screen but protects the whole body of your iPod.

I cannot wait to order an invisibleShield for my video iPod!

Lowering blood pressure naturally

By Puteri, January 29, 2008 3:37 pm

I have been learning a lot of things from Prescription Alternatives by Earl Mindell and Virginia Hopkins. It is one of the best books I’ve borrowed from the library recently! :smile:

I have issues with high blood pressure and diabetes, and the pages called A Natural Blood Pressure-Lowering Program is quite an eye opener.

I mean there are things we know people with high blood pressure should avoid like smoking, consuming too much alcohol, too much salty foods, etc.

One thing which was totally new to me was what celery can do to high blood pressure. Did you know that fresh celery, like four stalks a day has been known to significantly reduce blood pressure? :shock:

If that is true, I should make a habit of drinking a celery/carrot juice mix daily!

Another thing I learned from the book is that dandelion is an effective diuretic. For people with high blood pressure it is important to drink lots of water and to evacuate that excess fluid effectively.

If there is anything I can do to reduce my blood pressure without resorting to the use of drugs, I am willing to try it! The thing is, I can easily monitor my blood pressure at home with those little monitors.

If despite all I am doing naturally still does not do anything to lower my blood pressure, of course I will do whatever my doctor tells me to do. :wink:

Wheelchair accessible vans

By Puteri, January 29, 2008 12:28 am

These days, the fact that you have to rely on a wheel chair does not mean you cannot go places anymore. Life has become a lot simpler for families to bring their loved ones around because there are now wheelchair accessible vans to bring them around in.

Grandpa or grandma does not have to stay home when the family has to go on trips due to the difficulty in transporting a wheel chair especially a motorized one.

The fact that these vans are available in affordable price ranges from dealers like Mobility Works makes it even more attractive for families to own one so as to be able to accommodate their loved ones’ lifestyle.
