      Indeed, it is an advantage that we have our online earnings. At least, they accumulate to many when we don’t withdraw them. At least on a time when we needed it we can have them.

      It is nicer too, that we have not only one earning site. I am happy I was referred here also, because it helps a lot for me to have more earnings. 🙂

    @PEEUSH TRIKHA

    Yes, in everything , the key is moderation.

    Taking of drugs in excess can make us sick or addicted to it.

    Overeating of oranges in a day can result to stomachache.

    Just eat one or two everyday so you can reap it’s health benefits. And this is true with all kind of foods.

    Yes, she could have died , had the family did not opt for a second opinion for the gallstone operation that the doctor advised to be done at the soonest.

    This actually happened about more than 15 years ago. […]

    • Good thing your family sought a second opinion. It is so saddening that some doctors would just decide on conducting an operation on the patient without considering some of the perils involved.

      We should also be careful with our diet to avoid such ailments, or the so-called lifestyle diseases.

      • From then on, we know already that we should always seek second opinion when it is a serious ailment.

        Good thing that now our daughter is already a doctor. We can always seek her second opinion since she’s not here in the province where we reside.

        Indeed, even at an early age, we should learn how to live a healthy life without depriving us though, of the delicious foods. The key is to eat in moderation, exercise or being so mobile and having a happy disposition in life.

    My father was diagnosed with prostate cancer when he reached the age of about 65. As to symptom, he had difficulty in urinating, meaning he would feel like urinating but it would come out after some time.

    • Your family made the right decision to consult an alternative doctor. Congrats, your father and father-in-law are still fine in spite of past medical conditions.

      • Indeed, we were so happy they both survived.

        Although, my father-in-law is still being made to take the anti-cancer pill. He is a stubborn man, would eat even when being told to stop because he has taken enough. So, he is back to having big belly and fat.

        Unlike my father, who really followed what his alternative doctor has advised him.

        I would always tell my father-in-law of what to do basing on what my father has been advised by his alternative doctor, but to no avail. Well, anyway , at least I have done my part of admonishing him about his ailment. It’s up to him now, if he still wants to live longer or not.

    • That’s why when we are told that we have cancer, we should not lose hope. We should just follow what the doctor advises, take the medication and change our lifestyles.

      Actually, it is our positive attitude that can help us to battle it. Worrying will stress us and aggravate the cancer, since it is said that stress can make us sick much more have cancer.

    • Useful information for people suffering from colds. In my case I generally get some cold during change of temperature. Once I had cold for more than four months as there was a viral. It did not stop even after medicines and the doctor advised. It is better to eat normal food and live your life as you live rather than taking medicines as nothing works. I have also stopped taking cold drinks, water from refrigerator, ice creams etc.

      I get colds generally when the temperature is varying around plus or minus 10 degrees Celsius suddenly due to changing weather pattern, I also have nasal problem a bit of sinus which add to it. Breathing polluted air, dust particles, pollen’s of parthenium and some other plants also result in colds and coughs. Thanks for the share

      • @Krishna Kumar

        Really, you had colds for four months! That would be hard. A colds can always bring you a headache.

        My daughter said that having colds cannot be because you always drink cold water. ACtually for me, I love cold drinks. Maybe you will really get colds when you are not used to drinking cold drinks then suddely you drink one.

        Sometimes too, you first have to normalize your body like when you came from the outside where it was too hot, you should stabilize your temperature first before you drink the cold water.

    Cancer is a disease that can devastate one stricken by it . Though, if one know how to stay positive and find ways to control it, then they can survive.

    And for those who wants to prevent themselves from having […]

    • Useful information. But my experience with people who I knew who had cancer is what I would like to share. In many of the cases people were healthy, ate good food did not have major health issues for more than 20 years. But suddenly were diagnosed with cancer when they had some other health issue for which they went for treatment. Two of them passed away within six months after coming to know of it.

      While the third gentleman whom I knew well had put up a fight with cancer and doctors were surprised with his recovery as it was in final stages. But after a few months of this recovery which took place in one and half years. Cancer again reappeared in his body and he suffered a painful death.

      This person had no bad habits was a teetotaler and ate food in the house only did not consume junk food. It was unfortunate that he could not succeed in his fight. But there are many success stories too. That was because in their case cancer was diagnosed early. That did the trick.

      • @Krishna Kumar ,

        That is true. It is an advantage that we discover an ailment earlier than discovering it later because it will already be so difficult to battle it.

        Sad indeed that others lives a healthy lifestyle, yet they still had cancer.

        In this case, i think it is already in the genes. It is said that when family members had cancer, we are at risk too.

        That is why, Angelina Jolie had done what she can to combat cancer of the breast while it was early. Her mother had it and she too may be at risk with it.

    • I never want to have alzeimers or cancer for that matter. Luckely i love my veggies and friuts! So hopefully i will stay healthy and strong with a clear mind. But ill start taking multivitamins again. Why not ive got nothing to loose and everything to gain. And maby ill be oky! I can think that alzeimers or any other sickness can be very frustrating. Im so thankfull that im so blessed to be healthy ad clear minded.and luckely we dont have ever had any one in our family that has or had alzeimers. Not in my mothers site nor in my dads! I just wanna say al my sinsere good wishes to those who have alzeimers and their familys who has to deal with that! God will keep you strong and save!

      • That is good, because it means you are far from getting alzheimers.

        Indeed, nowadays it seems that people are already so aware of what are the benefits of eating healthily , especially fish, veggies and fruits.

        At least, those foods in addition to taking vitamin supplements such as E and also fish oil, which I also take, we can be assured of having a healthy mind until our death.

    • It is one of the dreaded diseases when people grow old; I wish there could be a good medicine to offset it. Though I am still not that so old, ha ha ha! I list all my passwords in a notebook, along with important bank numbers.

      Regarding Vitamin E, your post reminded that I have to take it again. I had hysterectomy also due to myoma. But my OB-Gyne prescribed hormone replacement therapy which is safe to use. I remember I have to take it again.

    • One just need to eat healthy diet then they can probably reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer.

    • Vitamins are very good in combating Alzheimer disease and also there is one type of diet that I found in Internet that can effectively reduce the risk of getting Alzheimer and other chronic disease which are ketogenic diet that consist of food high in healthy fats like Omega3.

    • I am mostly in jeans and t-shirts or in shorts and t-shirts, because I am home most times. I still like the shape of bell bottoms and a skinny jean with a baggy shirts is comfy to wear. Sometimes I think fashion keeps going back instead of moving forward.

      • That is true. Fashion just keeps coming back though there are some twists already and under a new name.

        I think that kind of get-up is here to stay. I also love being just in my jeans and shirt when I go out of the house to go malling or visiting my parents.

        I think the denims or “maong” is here to stay forever. It is the craze then and until now and for the years to come. I feel young whenever I am in my faded denims. 🙂
