SLEEPING WITH LIGHT ON MAY CAUSE CANCER

Received this thru an email from a friend. No harm to spread words around when its concerning our children's well being in particular. Do google about it if you want more information.

KIDS who sleep with the light on could risk leukemia, parents were warned.

Scientists have found the body needs darkness to produce a chemical that fights cancer.

Even switching the light on for the toilet, staying up late, traveling across time zones, or the light from street lamps can stop enough melatonin being made, they say.

The body needs the chemical to prevent damage to DNA and its absence stops fatty acids reaching tumours and preventing them growing. Texas University Prof Russell Reiter, who led the research, said: 'Once you go to bed you should not even switch the light on for a minute.

'Your brain immediately recognises the light as day and melatonin levels drop.'

Rates of childhood leukemia have doubled in the past 40 years.

About 500 youngsters under 15 are diagnosed with the disease each year and around 100 die. A conference on childhood leukemia in London yesterday heard that people were being subjected to more light at night than ever.

This suppressed the production of melatonin which normally happens between 9pm and 8am.

Past research has shown those most affected, like shift workers, had higher levels of breast cancer.

Blind people, who are not vulnerable to fluctuations of melatonin, have lower rates of cancer, it was found.

Parents are advised to use dim red or yellow bulbs if their youngsters are scared of the dark।

What is Cerebral Palsy?

A "spastic" is a person with cerebral palsy. This is a disorder of movement appearing in the early years of life. It is due to damage or failure to develop normally in a small part of the brain controlling these activities.

Cerebral palsy takes many forms- in fact no two spastic people are exactly the same. Some are less affected that they have no obvious disability. Others may be clumsy in their walk or they may have difficulties with their limbs or with muscles that help with speech. Some are even unable to stand or sit and thus, are unable to do even simple things for themselves.

Sometimes the damage involves some part of the brain as well. This leads to deafness and other disabilities involving perception. Many spastic children also have learning difficulties, which makes them slow to mature intellectually.

However, spastic people sometimes have higher than average intelligence though many are slow in catching up due to their handicaps. They often find it hard to control their facial expressions and may seem to be feeble-minded or even to be mentally retarded but some of those who seem to be severely disturbed are on the contrary very active intellectually and not least affected by the disorder.

The Spastic Children's Association of Selangor and Federal Territory provides free transport, education and various rehabilitation treatment such as Physiotherapy, Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy for spastic children living in Selangor and the Federal Territory.

Parents with spastic children are advised to bring their children to the centre as early as possible so that the appropriate therapy can be administered to the children with greater effectiveness.

These therapies, physio, speech and occupational therapy are carried out by experienced and dedicated personnel.

Furthermore, children of schooling age are enrolled to the School Section while younger children are given proper outpatient treatment. Adult students are employed in the Sheltered Workshop.

Moreover, the Association also carries out interesting and beneficial activities such as sports, music session, swimming, gardening as well as needle-work.

WESAK DAY PRAYER

Buddhists will be celebrating Wesak Day tomorrow। Many will throng the temples starting from 11pm tonight।

For those who are unable go to the temple, there are some meaningful ways to commemorate Wesak Day i.e. giving donations to the victims of:

1. Myanmar Cyclone Victims

2. China Sichuan Province Earthquake Victims


On this Wesak Day, let us remember the teachings of Buddha, as one rhyme goes:

`Some have too much and yet do crave
I have little and seek no more;
They are but poor though much more they have
And I am rich with little store.

They poor, I rich, they beg, I give;
They lack, I have; they pine, I live.'


************************************
I am not rich, but I am contented.

To all the people who are suffering the greatest, I pray for them to have strength to live on and leading towards a brighter day tomorrow.

Amitaba.

Chemotherapy Before Breast Surgery is Valuable-Many Eligible Patients Are Unaware of Therapy Option

I have, on numerous occasions, blogged about Breast Cancer. Being in the category of "high risk" group myself, coupled with the knowledge that some of our friends have unfortunately joined in this bitter battlefield in recent years, I will never hesitate in creating awareness in fighting breast cancer and I will share with you all of any news and knowledge that I have heard or read for the benefit of the entire female population.

Probably some of you might have heard of this so called "latest news", chemotherapy before breast surgery (it is called 'neoadjuvant chemotherapy') is valuable, but I bet many haven't. A friend of us who went thru mastectomy (removal of the entire breast) recently and found out later thru medical doctors in Singapore during one of her trips there for Chemotherapy.

She may have regretted having performed the surgery a little too rush, as most patient would have the thought of cancer cells will spread very quickly if the tumor is not remove soonest. Taking into consideration the agony and pain avalanched upon you hearing the bad news from the doctor, no one can blame you for losing that sturdiness.

Come back to the above subject, I will leave it to you bright readers to judge for yourself. As the article said,
"We can't say that neoadjuvant therapy is better for survival, but we can say neoadjuvant therapy is not worse, and it has its advantages".

Isn't it obvious that going thru the Chemotherapy in a stronger body before surgery is a wider choice?

You Made A Difference!

Some notes and presents from my children to share with all of you...but deep inside me, the cries for mummy from those orphans always lingering in my mind, that made this mother's day not a very interesting day.

Perhaps I am getting older by the day, all I pray for everyday is the safety and health for my family. Celebration on this kind of occasion does not seem to be much of a significant event anymore. Instead, I would prefer the world to rejoice "Parents'day" to honor both very important peoples in our lives.

But to my dearest and sweetest children, mummy appreciate the notes and presents from the bottom of my heart and you guys are the most wonderful kids in this world.

Remember, a person with a generous heart and compassion for all beings leads the most blessed life.

An e-card written in the cold winter from down under by Vivian....but delivered with loads of warmth feelings, mama loves it!

This cute little heart is from little Valerie, of course chosen by someone who paid for it la...thank you love

Both the card and this flour leave clover key chain were from Villi, for the first time paying from his own pocket! Wishing you luck in your SPM son.

First and foremost, you have to be up early to catch the goodies which starts at 10am on 1st of May, 2008. As the crowd will come in drove to snap up whatever is available in the first three hours.

Then, you buy immediately the things that you wish to buy simply because they will be sold out in the next round you turn back.

Support those stalls operates by the handicapped.

Go home with your prize posessions with a contented heart as you are proud to be able to help.

Short story with a beautiful message

Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge। The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter, 'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river।' The little girl said, 'No, Dad। You hold my hand।' 'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father। 'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl। 'If I hold your hand and something happens to me, chances are that I may let your hand go. But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens, you will never let my hand go.' In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond. So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours... This message is too short......but carries a lot of Feelings.

DIGITAL INFRA-BREAST THERMOGRAPHY : AN ALTERNATIVE TO MAMMOGRAM

Hi all readers, here is something which I received over email that I would like to share with you...

Published Saturday, March 1, 2008, Singapore

Dread feeling the squeeze?Breast thermography has come to town - a much easier way than mammography to detect breast cancer, writes MELISSA HENG

WOULDN'T it be wonderful if there were a test that could offer women early detection of breast cancer without the dread and discomfort associated with mammograms? Dr Wong:

Early detection is crucial.

If you know way in advance - 8-10 years earlier, with thermography - that there's a cancerous growth, treatment can be very targeted and quick surgical intervention may save you a breast Well, now there is.

Breast thermography has made its way to our shores recently and it promises women 'no squeeze' breast screenings. In fact, there is no contact with a woman's breasts at all.

But here's the really great thing about this form of screening: it can detect cancerous growth 8-10 years in advance, which is way ahead of what mammography can do. 'Thermography is a non-invasive and non-contact imaging technique that uses infra-red to detect heat,' explains Clinique Suisse's Dr YM Wong, whose clinic at Paragon Medical Centre was the first to bring the technology to Singapore last year.

'Most cancers take 8-10 years to grow to one centimetre in size, but the cancer's growth accelerates greatly after this. So by the time you feel a lump in the breast, it may be already past the first stage, and that affects your chances of survival,' says Dr Wong, who has more than 20 years of gynaecological experience.

A session lasts all of five minutes ... The machine will take a series of infra-red shots, which will be sent to a computer and the result of the readings will be out within minutes.

Breast cancer makes up almost 30 per cent of all female cancers here. Each year, about 1,000 women are diagnosed with the condition. The disease occurs almost entirely in women, although a small number of men do get it too.

As in any other form of cancer, breast cancer is primarily a malignant tumour. Specifically, the breast cancer tumour develops from the cells near or around the breast. These cancer cells, if not arrested and destroyed, may spread to other parts of the body.

With thermography, detection can be made at the cell stage, before the cancer becomes a tumour or spreads to other parts of the body. 'Any object in the body that is above the absolute temperature of zero will emit heat and all such hot spots will be picked up by infra-red,' explains Dr Wong.

Developed from army technology and used initially to trace troop movements, digital infra-red thermography has been around for more than a decade. It was approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) for use medically in the US in the 1980s. 'Breast thermography is superior to the mammogram in so many ways, even though the latter is the current gold standard in breast screening.

This, I am sure, will soon change,' predicts Dr Wong, who stresses that thermography has no side effects whatsoever and is completely safe, even for young women. 'You can do a session a day and still be none the worse for it because there's no radiation at all,' assures Dr Wong. So far, he has performed more than 200 screenings here using thermography.

'Thermography has a sensitivity level or accuracy rate of between 84 and 98 per cent, which compares favourably with the mammogram's 86 per cent,' claims Dr Wong, who charges $150 for the first thermography session and $100 thereafter for any repeat sessions. A mammogram done at a private clinic could cost anywhere between $120 and $200.

According to Dr Wong, breast thermography is suitable for women of any age and is a particularly attractive option for women who have had breast augmentation work done before. 'A woman who has had silicone implants done earlier in her youth, for example, may experience a leak under the pressure of the mammogram squeeze because such implants do deteriorate with time.

With thermography, there is no such problem at all,' says Dr Wong. A thermography session lasts all of five minutes. All that is required is for the patient to sit about two metres away from a special camera-like piece of equipment, remove her blouse and bra and rotate her body as directed.

The machine will take a series of infra-red shots, which will be sent to a computer and the result of the readings will be out within minutes. 'The readings will show up as patches of colour. The cooler parts of the body will show up blue, whereas the hotter parts will show up red. Yellows and greens are variations, showing the degree of heat. So if I see a patch of red on an otherwise blue-coloured breast, that's an indication something is not right,' explains Dr Wong.

He cautions, however, that screening and diagnosis are two entirely different things and women should not take their screening results as gospel truth. 'There is only one way to diagnose breast cancer and that is through a biopsy. That's the only sure way to confirm a screening test, be it thermography, mammography or ultra-sound,' he says. As for treatment, there are various options, depending on the stage of the disease.

In Singapore , about 80 per cent of patients seek treatment in the early stages of breast cancer, and survival rates are high in the majority of these cases. 'Treatment choice will depend on how far the disease has spread.

That is why early detection is crucial. If you know way in advance that there's a cancerous growth, treatment can be very targeted and quick surgical intervention may save you a breast,' says Dr Wong.

Breast-conserving surgery, commonly known as lumpectomy, in which only the tumour is removed rather than the whole breast, is often preferred, although this may not always be possible, depending on how far the cancer has progressed.

Women with a more advanced stage of breast cancer may require chemotherapy in addition to surgery. But medical intervention aside, early detection will allow a woman to take her own set of precautionary measures.

'We all know that some women are more at risk than others. Now, if your thermogram shows up a suspicious growth, in addition to a biopsy and whatever treatments that follow, the woman herself can start to turn her lifestyle around. With 8-10 years of advance warning, she has time to adopt a healthier lifestyle, cut down on alcohol, quit smoking, etc,' says Dr Wong. But there is nothing like stealing a march on cancer, and breast thermography could do just that.

Those interested may contact Clinique Suisse at 6235-4040 .The clinic is located at 290 Orchard Road, #08-01, Paragon Medical Centre

Breast Cancer

On this rainy morning, I can't seem to breath normally. My heart is heavy and my mind is so engulfed by many unanswered questions.

Hubby came back last night with a bad news. A friend of us was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer and was immediately sent in for mastectomy. All this happened in less than a month.

The questions that clouded my mind were:
1. She is a very health concious person
2. She exercises regularly
3. She promotes cancer awareness and preventative ways of living
4. She is a very kind person that helps out in charitable organisations (Although this is not relevant, but I can't help but to question myself.)

Why bad luck has to befall on her? So much so that I have come to a conclusion that no one has the immunity to be exempted from cancer attack, no matter how much we try to prevent it.

I would like to share the following information with you on cancer which I've received earlier:
____________________________________________________

Medical Info : CANCER

Please note the following :
CANCER : Not all cancers are the same. 1/3 is curable. 1/3 is preventable.
2 factors of cancer that cannot be controlled are AGE & FAMILY HISTORY.

CAUSES OF CANCER:
1. Smoking is very often the main cause of cancer.
It kills us silently and drains money from us quietly. There’re 4,000 harmful chemicals (though in diluted form) in one stick of cigarette. Taking one puff is 600 times worse than inhaling exhaust fumes from vehicles.

2. Some foods that cause cancer is :
a. Barbecued Food
b. Deep Fried Food
c. Overheating Meat
d. Food that is high in fat causes our bile to secrete acid that contains a chemical which is a promoter of cancer cells.
e. Food that contains preservatives, too much salt or nitrates, e.g. canned food, salted egg & veggies, sausages, etc.
f. Overnight Rice (where Aflatoxin is accumulated)
g. Food that is low in fibre : Our body needs 25gm of both soluble & insoluble fibre daily. We must drink at least 1.5 litres of plain water a day.
h. Contaminated Food (e.g. moulded bread causes our body to secrete toxins that may eventually lead to liver cancer in the long run. Never eat bread that is kept in room temperature for more than 2 days especially in a humid weather.)

3. Types of fat and which is the best?
Highly Recommended for Health :
a. Olive Oil - It does not absorb in our body.
b. Fish Oil - Omega 3 (contained in NI’s Circulytes) has poly-unsaturated fat. It’s good for our brain cells.
c. Peanut Oil - It contains Vitamin E. A small dosage is recommended only.

4. Not Recommended for Health
a. Vegetable Fat - Palm oil is worse than coconut oil. It is high in cholesterol and highly unsaturated.
b. Coconut Oil - It has saturated fat.

5. Specific Food & Beverages
a. Egg when eaten too much can cause High Colon Cancer, Risk Ovary Cancer, Prostate Cancer.
b. Cabbage is highly recommended for health reason.
c. Tomato is best eaten raw with a bit of olive oil for better absorption. Other alternative is to take tomato sauce. Do not boil – tomatoes became acidic when boiled.
d. A little coffee is good because it contains 2 anti- oxidants. Inhale coffee aroma for half each day is equivalent to eating 2 oranges a day. However, the residue of over-burned coffee is extremely bad for health. It can cause cancer.
e. Tea, as long as it is in its original tealeaves and not processed into BOH or Lipton packets, it is good for health. Tea contains 30 anti-oxidants. Recommended dosage is a cup a day.

EXERCISE AND BE FIT
Have a balanced lifestyle. Exercise regularly.

F : Frequency : 3 to 5 times a week.
I : Intensity : Exercise till we sweat and breath deeply.
T : Types of exercises : Find one that suits our age, lifestyle…

HAVE REGULAR CHECK-UP once we reach the age of 45 & above, it is recommended that we go for regular comprehensive health examination. Early detection can save lives.

Six Billion Paths to Peace

An email received today made me excited! It was an invitation to New York to attend a rally – Six Billion Paths to Peace, initiated by Shinnyo-en Foundation.

I am not excited about going to New York, but rather about my blog being able to reach someone across the world that shares the same belief as mine.

Mr David Fishman from the Shinnyo-en Foundation said this in the email, “For many of us, a path to peace is about performing small selfless acts of kindness they take in their daily lives, which in return often inspire others to do the same; perhaps by sharing your efforts on your blog, and others can be compelled to contribute as well”.

Yes, I have all along been aspired to spread the message of love, compassion and the readiness to help through my blog and harbored with the hope of creating positive ripple effects that bring about greater harmony and peace to the world, as I believe that every small little way counts.

He also encouraged me to join in by writing my path to peace here, which I hope all of you readers out there can also drop a line or two to help amplify and inspire others and thus help achieve the six billion target and at the same time help making this world a better place.

The path to peace submitted on the website or by text messaging to 334455 on March 20th, will be shared with millions of others on the Reuters board that day! It's fun and meaningful, don’t miss this chance folks!

There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.

~ Mother Teresa
