Afraid of CANCER?

One life to love.

Cancer takes one person every moment. They could be our sisters, brothers, parents, our loved ones; any person could be taken by cancer. It doest look on your status, if you were strike by it, suffer. Everyday cases of cancer were reported in different countries and yes, cases of deaths were in it.

But how does one person catch a cancer?

Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled growth (division beyond the normal limits), invasion (intrusion on and destruction of adjacent tissues), and sometimes metastasis (spread to other locations in the body via lymph or blood). There are different types of cancer: Cancer of the skin, Cancer of the bone, breast cancer, cervical cancer, brain cancer and Cancer of the lungs, are just some of the many cancer cases people suffered nowadays. Yet medicines are so inadequate and insufficient for the needs of many lives. There were cases of cancer that last up to weeks, months and if lucky years but still end up to same word, death. Frustrations it is. But there were also cases of survivors. A testimony of a sister in Christ serve as a truth that believing on to the ultimate healer would not be in vain. Faith in him is what only needed. Nothing is impossible to the creator.

Sis Edith, a Christian, believer of God have suffered from breast cancer but now as to her testimony, she’d been one of the many cencer survivors. She is now free disease-free. Faith and trust did help her to continue fighting that cancer. With the help of friends and people who loved her, she has got enough strength to continue. "Indeed, where we are weak, there we are strong."- from the new testament's letter to the Corinthians. Proper intake of the prescribed medicine as well as healthy foods is important. Enough rest is also needed.

A testimony which gives enlightenment to people who suffer from this sickness. There’s always hope in everything. Trust God. He could turn impossible into possible things. God is Powerful.

Biblical Sanitation

LEVITICUS 13:46
All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

There were a countless millions of people killed due to the horrible disease leprosy; and after which another sixty million life were taken by the Black Death. Through the leadership of the church which was given up by the physicians of the day was the plague brought under the control. And the church took the concept of contamination as its guiding as embodied in the Old Testament, Leviticus.

DEUTERONOMY 23:12, 13
"Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad: 13 and thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:

Hygienic provisions during closer to the eighteenth century even in great capitals were quite archaic. It was the standard for evacuation to be abandoned on the dirty and polluted streets. Powerful foul odor clenched the villages and cities.

Through following God’s provision in Deuteronomy, diseases such as cholera, dysentery and typhoid fever could have been manipulated. A medical historian once writes that this directive is “certainly a primitive measure, but an effective one, which indicates advanced ideas of sanitation.”


NUMBERS 19:11-22
11 - He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.

12 - He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.

13 - Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.

14 - This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.

15 - And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.

16 - And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.

17 - And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:

18 - And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:

19 - And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.

20 - But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.

21 - And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.

22 - And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.


InShort :
NUMBERS 19:11-22 says, "He who touches the dead body of anyone shall be unclean seven days. ... Whoever touches the body of anyone who has died, and does not purify himself, defiles the tabernacle of the Lord. That person shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because the water of purification was not sprinkled on him; his uncleanness is still on him. ... The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean..."

In other words, if a medical practitioner would have only followed the above instructions early in the history many lives would have been saved.

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6

Follow God's direction for good health, long life, and happiness.

What is Your Eating Habit?

What is your habit? Eating is loved by everyone (almost). A very yummy habit it is. One eats when he is happy and eats again whenever depressed. People eat every minute of their life, as if their stomach couldn’t be really contented.











How should one eat food? Would you prefer chewing it thoroughly or swallowing it immediately? Although chewing needs no explanation, a shocking number of people do not adequately chew foods they eat. People especially business minded one almost doesn’t have much time even for eating. Many times they eat easily chewed one and instant foods. Mostly because of rush they just swallow it without chewing thoroughly. Is it healthy to practice?






As we are eating lunch, together with my brothers and sister in faith this afternoon, a bro opened a topic about the healthy and proper eating etiquettes. According to him, one should chew food 15 times or more so the food would be grind and also so that the stomach could properly digest it. It prevents indigestion, gas and heartburn. It was also a good exercise for the gums which could prevent gum problems. I heard also that drinking should only be done after eating which is very opposite to the practice we have in the family, but I believe it’s not always counted as a good suggestion.





In eating we should always remember that it is very important to chew the foods we put into our mouth. We should also take into consider those foods that we input rather than just swallowing it. If we input junks in our body then it will manifest in us as well as inputting healthy foods. It is said that we are what we eat, so we should be aware of what we are eating. Life doesn’t just end in eating, healthy lifestyle starts in the foods we eat.

happy chewing!

STOP MALNUTRITION

Having a hard time gaining weight? Tired of being teased as a “walking bamboo” by your classmates and, or malnourished said by friends? Well, I could relate to that. Same here people doesn’t get tired of teasing me, if not called malnourish because of my body figure, all the time I was mistaken as a 14 years old…ouch that hurts.

Well an irony of life, many people wants to lose weight, but here I am wants to gain some. People could not be contented really. Anyways, malnourishment is really popular to Philippines. Almost in many studies we hit the top. Funny yet alarming. To think, we are not yet that civilized and so we are still rich in these foods good for the body. A country blessed in its nature, a plants and trees which are lavishing of fruits and vegetables. But why is this happening to our country? Why does malnutrition being suffered by Filipinos specially children.

One bad culture of Filipinos is that of selfishness. They think only for themselves and their own satisfaction, leaving behind their obligations to other people specially their children. Instead of providing foods for the family they spend it rather to their vices. Poor children suffered, they could not get the right nutrition they should have. And instead of eating fruits and vegetables, they consume junks in their body which soon causes malnutrition. This also was the cause of them being prone to sickness for the junks weaken our immune system.

These are some of those many alarming problems our country faces. A lesson that each Filipinos should learned. Think also for the benefit of others, enough of selfishness. Giving children the proper nutrition they should have would lessen this malnutrition.

As for me now, I’m starting to learn to eat vegetables, my stomach can’t take it but hey it’s what my body needs. “Starting a new life” I joke on them. Well at least now they couldn’t tease me anymore.

Fresh from the trees in the forest this I tell you, if you want to have a long and healthy life, start acknowledging Mr. Fruits and Mrs. Vegetables in your life.

Vitamins or sickness?

It’s back to school. As we are lining, together with other students on the registration area, my friend was whining about her cough, well it’s not really a cough, she could just feel an itch at her throat that makes her cough. Apparently, she was not feeling well. She’d been sick since the first day of class, and that was when we had coke for snack. Well, its actually our fault because we insisted her to share it with us, I feel very guilty of course. I didn’t know that her resistance wasn’t that strong.

Anyway, telling her story as we were waiting in line, I feel pity about her. She’d been suffering from different illnesses, and if I wasn’t mistaken it was ever since she was a child. Her immune system to fight illnesses wasn’t that strong. It became an obstruction mostly on school activities. She couldn’t focus that much on schooling because of this inconveniences she suffer every time it would attack. A burden it is. Hearing such story, enlighten me to really eat healthy foods [especially vegetables and fruits] to boost body resistance against illnesses. It’s very uncomfortable when one is sick, it hinders you to do the things you should be doing on that day, too many uncomfortable feelings that you would suffer and not to mention the money you would spend for the medication and worst hospital payments.

Seeing my friend suffer from that sickness, I thought that compare to the money I would possibly spend for the medications an apple a day which cost 20 pesos or a vegetables that cost just how many compare to that of hospital fees would cover all those expenses. See how irony it is? People don’t like those foods that are needed by there body but then whine a lot of the hospital fees.

Well, it was for us to think of everything. Vitamins or sickness?
