The Melamine Mystery
November 8, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Lately there were more food products such as biscuits, chocolates sold locally, were found to contain high levels of Melamine. I actually wondered about why manufacturers add Melamine into the food process knowing the health risks involved! Have you ever wondered? Mind you it seems Melamine is not cheap so it does not make economical sense.
Well, I received a ‘report’ originating from China explaining the Melamine Mystery over the recent Contaminated Milk from the China fiasco. According to this report; Melamine is not added into the milk at all! What the manufacturers in China did was to add another toxic compound known as ‘Urea’ into the milk!!!
Why Urea? It seems that adding cheap fertilizer compound like Urea increases the Protein Content in the milk! The way to test Protein Content is to measure the Nitrogen content level which the Urea produces in sufficient quantities!
What happens is that fresh milk is kept at ultra high temperatures (UHT) and when sprayed out to produce milk powder; the urea undergoes a chemical change into Melamine! That’s how the Melamine content was discovered in the milk powder!
Sounds logical to me but I guess chemistry people will understand the process better! So folks, that’s what I found out from this ‘China Report’! Can anyone check the truth in this story? If you do please leave a comment here for the benefit of all!
The ‘report’ also mentioned the following:-
Best quality milk is used to produce Yogurt, High Calcium Milk.
Low quality milk used to produce breakfast milk!
Milk that has turned bad or ’smelly’ is used to make ice-cream and cheap milk powder!
Natural is not necessary Safe

However, what is natural does not necessarily mean that it is good for our bodies or safe. My father was a case in point. He was a diabetic and an adherent to the Chinese Herbal Medication. I guess more of upbringing than anything else. I do believe in our traditional Chinese Medicines but in the same breath I have got to say that we must be careful.
When my father was admitted to the hospital with kidney failure, the doctors told me about the traditional medicine he was taking all these while contain high content of mercury and lead which eventually lead to kidney failure!
I believe what I really want to say, without running down traditional herbal treatments is that many times we just do not know the dangerous elements in such medication. While it does help to treat our illnesses but at the same time contain poisonous elements that cause other problems too!
Nowadays, many people buy online for their supply of natural or organic supplements from all sorts of online stores. Many of these are just like you and I promoting affiliate products which we trust or believe are good and harmless! It seems that many such websites are being shut-down by health authorities in UK, Canada and the US for selling products that contain dangerous elements!
For this reason alone, I will never go into selling Vitamins, Organic or Natural Supplements online simply because I personally do not know what is behind these products and there is no way for me to find out. I gather some of the dangerous elements and I list here for your own caution!
Ephedrine - cause lead poisoning, cause high BP, even heart attack or stroke.
Aristolochia - linked to kidney failure, containing steroids, arsenic and mercury.
Fenluramine - poisonous to the liver and cause heart irregularities.
Other things such as Nutmegs, Fly Agaric Mushroom, San Pedro Cacti and Salvia, all contain the hallucinogen Mescaline which, in sufficient quantities can cause a range of psychiatric disturbances from anxiety to panic attacks to psychosis.
Cell Phones Health Hazards

I am sure you have read or heard about people protesting to the local telecommunication operators and power generating companies about the cancer causing effects of living near to such things. Although we were told many times that it is safe, yet results shown by studies made in foreign countries indicate some alarming results!
Below is a photo of how our human cells react to exposure to X-rays and cell-phone waves!
Slide one (top left) shows a normal healthy cell under magnification. This cell is a bright energetic little orb with its DNA and other genetic materials safely inside the cell membrane.
Slide two (top right) shows a living cell exposed to 1600 chest X-rays. This cell is shrunken and has lost its energetic brightness. There is a comet trail of fragmented DNA particles, visible streaming out of the cell. These DNA fragments are called micronuclei, typical mutations from excessive X-rays, or from gamma waves of nuclear detonation.
Slide three (bottom) shows a cell exposed to 24 hours of cell phone radiation. Its comet tail of micronuclei damage is virtually identical to that of 1600 chest x-rays.
The frequency used was 1.8 gigahertz (1800 megahertz), typical cell phone frequencies are around 1.9 gigahertz (and also from many household cordless phones).
The power level used to micronucleate this photograph was 1.3 W/k Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). SAR is the calculated amount of energy absorbed by the human body from microwave phones. Many cell phones produce MORE power than that.
The above is an extract from the article posted by Alternative Doctor Blog and I strongly recommend you folks to read out about the details there. Based on the experiments done in many other countries, it seems rather convincing about the health hazards of one being exposed to such waves for long period of time. Perhaps we need to seriously think about this and bring this up with our local MP’s!
How The Stock Market Works

Well, I discovered a bit of information which I guess will help to explain things a bit on how the Stock Market Works and hope that with understanding comes calm and peace of mind! Here is how what I discovered:-
It was autumn, and the Red Indians on the remote reservation asked their New Chief if the winter was going to be cold or mild. Since he was a Red Indian chief in a modern society, he couldn’t tell what the weather was going to be.
Nevertheless, to be on the safe side, he replied to his Tribe that the winter was indeed going to be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared. But also being a practical leader, after several days he got an idea. He went to the phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked “Is the coming winter going to be cold?”
“It looks like this winter is going to be quite cold indeed,” the meteorologist at the weather service responded. So the Chief went back to his people and told them to collect even more Wood.
A week later, he called the National Weather Service again. “Is it Going to be a very cold winter?” “Yes,” the man at National Weather Service again replied, “It’s definitely going to be a very cold winter.”
The Chief again went back to his people and ordered them to collect every scrap of wood they could find. Two weeks later, he called the National Weather Service again. “Are you absolutely sure that the winter is going to be very cold?” “Absolutely” , the man replied. “It’s going to be one of the coldest winters ever. ” “How can you be so sure?” the Chief asked.The weatherman replied, “The Red Indians are collecting wood like Crazy..”
This is how the stock market works!!!
Flower is about Relationships

If a picture speaks a thousand words then, flowers speaks of relationships. Receive this Flower Gift from mye domain and I think it is such a wonderful gift! Thanks for the friendship marri and will always cherish this.
This is a single flower or Rose? To me a single flower is most expressive and it represents you alone whereas a bunch of flowers represents one out of many! I guess thats why for lovers they give a single rose! The reflection reminds me of how we view each other are often reflected in the relationship. A very meaningful gift marri!
With these thoughts, I will extend the warm of friendship to those whom I have not visited or seen for sometime to say to them you are still my great friends!!!!
