DIALOGUE ON THE AIR: A COMMENTARY

Lloyd Suarez for Bobbytrap Nalzaro

Bro Rito, Francisco,Mario, Vic, other LMs and Leaders

Sakristan 1,2,3,4,5

Bro Sho, Gentleman from Calajo-an, a CFD,

Texters, Students, Others

Jan. 21 after 5pm–  I did listen to the above radio program which was broadcasted live from Minglanilla and participated in by personalities mentioned above.  The matter under discussion is still the Sacred Scandal of Our Town.

The case has not really moved forward since it was whispered to the ears of the Lay Ministers last Nov. 2011.   Just 2 weeks ago the LMs have initiated a signature campaign for the purpose to URGE-PUSH the Archbishop to replace the remaining members of the Team of Pastors which  solution, they say, would bring PAX AETERNA to Minglanilla.  To my knowledge this paper is now being challenged by another signature campaign initiated by parish-based organizations, LGU leaders, entrepreneurs, a legal counsel, concerned citizens, et.al. and yours truly is a signatory of the counter-campaign.  This is now the Battle of LMs and TM (lay ministers and team moderator).

In the deliberation, at least 2 of the speakers claimed that a palace-dialogue on the matter has been scheduled coming February to re-connect the loose ends.   The LMs are pressing for a limited attendance on this, not to include especially legal counsels and officers of the parish-based organizations.  Desired attendees will only be:

1.  The Lay Ministers who have tendered resignations

2.  The Sakristans who saw the dramatic interlude

3.  The 4 Priests whose past sins are now resurrected

4.  Those who were with the LMs when the case was presented before the archbishop

5.  Bishop’s staff

GMA radio may sneak in.

The LMs reiterated that they bore no grudges with the priests and that they all love them and that they are praying for them but that they have to GET OUT.   They are ready to take the next step F-N-WEN Bishop Palma won’t heed their demand of which Lloyd Suarez quickly stated mosulat mo ana sa Santo Papa.   A listener with me was quick to suggest other conventions like hunger strike, a picket line on Sundays, or a rally 3 times a week.   But am very pleased on the Christian manifestations of Bro Sho –  PAKIG-SINABUT – PAKIGHI-ULI.

It is WICKED to bring the  Church onto its knees so that moving them out into a new team or distributing the priests individually to other parishes at the Bishop's call is always the solution with grace.   For the pros and cons of the 2 signature campaigns and those who remain neutral or offered prayers instead,  I am proposing this table of demerits as a way to peace:

TABLE OF DEMERITS

Name of Priest	Initial Demerit On Assignment	Repetition of Offense or Commission of New Offense	Action taken in favor or against	Total Number of Demerits Todate	My Recommended Action
Father Oscar	1	0	1	2	Status Quo
Father Joey	1	0	1	2	Status Quo
Father Nanie	1	0	1	2	Status Quo
Father Ladie	1	1	1	3	For replacement
Father Jojo	1	0	2	3	For replacement

CAN THE CHAPELS DO THE SUGAT ?

It was unexpected and a shocking proposal followed by a wallop of discouragement.  But despite the disabling blow, the spirit of cooperation remained tucked with loyalty.   This is my observation of the first two meetings that I attended for the purpose of organizing the Committees of the Piyesta sa Minglanilla 2011, with the critical tasks relegated to the Officers and Members of the fifty-two chapel organizations of Minglanilla for the first time.   The man behind the scene is a determined minister!

I came in almost late and was hurriedly hoisted up into a bamboo platform at the SUGATAN where four-year-old ‘angels’ like me are stationed for the rite.   Looking up, I recognized the great AGILA at rest.  From where I was, I had this good view of the thousands that gathered to celebrate the traditional SUGAT SA MINGLANILLA.

If there has to be somebody to be given a certificate of award for a job well-done for the Fiesta 2011, this man is the Rev. Father Oscar Ornopia.  It was Father Oscar who provided the magic that awakened the officers and members of the 52-Chapel organizations of the Parish into accepting hook-line-sinker the challenge to manage the religious aspects of the town fiesta.

At 4 in the morning, the bells at the KAMPANARIO are tolled continuously and the carozas bearing the images of the Tres Marias and San Pedro are moved into the crowd with a ‘flying Angel’ leading the way from the PATIO to the SUGATAN, a distance of several yards..   Taking the position at Vito Road on the southwest is the caroza of the Delgra Family bearing the image of the Resurrected Christ, awaiting its beaming entry.

Father Oscar’s practical appeal ultimately erased the fears of the inexperienced officials.  He assured them that the fiesta can be celebrated even better using just the resources the Chapels can raise over a limited period of time.  His guidance overshadowed the unfulfilled promises, meager donations and budget cuts and made history that ‘loose change’ can make miracles too.  The success of the event has also shown that good ideas are not exclusive to the leaders but to the ranks and files as well. 

As the carozas of the Sorrowful Mother and the Resurrected Christ met at midcenter, just below the AGILA’s claws, the  MUSIKEROS of Barrio Tulay moved to play their piece bringing the AGILA to life,  becking ‘angels’ into its mighty wings, dropping them to its tail and claws, and into the four corners of the SUGATAN.   Then the ‘Angel of Sorrow and Joy’ makes the final descent closer to the caroza of the Sorrowful Mother to fetch its dark robe, revealing the majestic cape of joy and jubilation underneath it a peculiar scene that somehow never failed to alter Our Lady’s facial expressions from sorrow into  RADIANT JOY AND MAJESTY FIT FOR THE  QUEEN OF HEAVEN.   At this point, our mentor Noy Kyanong Bas would raise his hands to signal all ‘Angels’ to sing the Regina Caeli in one accord:

REGINA, caeli, laetare, alleluia:

Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,

Resurrexit sicut dixit, alleluia.

Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.     

After the OREMUS, the LUTHANG are fired making two thunderous roars announcing the tragic end of Judas Iscariote, burning an effigy of him hanged by a tree. 

Can the future experience the past?  Can the Chapels do the Sugat?  Can we once more relive the spirit of the SUGAT SA MINGLANILLA away from the KABANHAWAN?   Can we have the Sugat back even just for once, perhaps this year 2012 on the 24^th of December, at dawn at the same Plaza Maria after the ‘Midnight Mass?’   

I am optimistic that with Father Oscar on the lead and with the same degree of loyalty and cooperation among Chapel Officers and members, and  with support of the religious, the traditional SUGAT SA MINGLANILLA  can be relived – more spiritually than pompous – more Christian than Catholic.

ATONEMENT: Finally Father Jojo Deligero Spilled the Beans

It took sometime for Father Jojo to go public (Sunstar Sunday 1/15/12).   As moderator of the Team of Five, he holds the first key that would have given us guided information of the scandal that refuses to die.   Yes, he has some rules to obey and some of us may not have understood all his actions.  So we blame him of omissions.  We can forgive Father Jojo for this but sad to say, now, only if he forgives those who had done him harm.

Yes, we can say it would have been better for Father Jojo to settle the matter within the Convent’s walls with the involved parties in attendance and do a public apology sooner within the hallowed walls of the Church.  In this way, negative public opinions (from Day One to Jan. 19) could have been de-accelerated or corrected.  Thursday 1/19 was another fatal day where a kind of a signature campaign is floated to counter the petition (perhaps) already submitted.

Before proceeding further on, I hereby confess that everything I express here are personal convictions.   Also, I wish everyone to know that I am signing up for the retention of the Four Pastors including Father Jojo.  Father Ladie is no longer with us and is now under Bishop Palma’s care.

I am taking this side for I still believe that whatever further mistakes and misunderstandings between the complainants, witnesses, respondents and those caught in the crossfire that added fuel to the fire of inconsistencies and disappointments can still be amicably settled –  BUT PLEASE LET US SETTLE THIS NOW!

The crime is a vicious one and it is by now inviting more EVIL to Minglanilla, opening up more roads to perdition not anymore to the violator but to US PARISHIONERS and our PASTORS.

Let us not divide this Parish into who are good, who are evil; who are pro-Jojo who are not; who are ours and who are theirs.  We are a forgiving people, members of one community, and professing the same Faith.   We are our neighbors and our friends.  Let us stop the political game on line now.   Only one re-did a crime.  So why blame and club each other for another crime and more criminals?   Let us not INVITE SATAN to overburden us and our community. 

God is Mighty and Just and in time He will take HIS REVENGE – And as members of this community, we ought to FEAR THIS DAY for it will come to us together or to us in private and for extended days of difficulties and hardships.

REGINA CAELI

Russian Icon of the Queen of Heaven

Sixty years ago this year, I was already singing the Regina Caeli.  I don’t know what it was exactly but I do know why I was singing it with the other children.  At age 4, I was an ANGEL of the traditional SUGAT SA MINGLANILLA which is now cinematically blotted out by a bogus sword duel to the death between Archangels Lucifer and Gabriel in Easter.

But the Regina Caeli, our song of praise, in the tune as was taught to us by maestro-cantor Kianong Bas of Tulay stays fresh in my memory.  Although no longer complete as I sung it with the junior angels, it is still my marching song, a captivating melody that never failed to refresh my soul for the Mother of God and Queen of Heaven.

Who Wrote the Regina Caeli

(from Preces-Latinae.org)

“The author of Regina Caeli is unknown, but by virtue of its presence (or absence) in manuscripts, it had to have been composed sometime between the 9th and 12th centuries. One possible author in that time period is Pope Gregory V (+998). Its original use appears to have been in Rome where it was used as an Antiphon for Vespers at Easter. Today the Regina Caeli is used as hymn of joy during the Easter Season (Easter Sunday until Trinity Sunday) when it is used in place of the Angelus and prescribed to be recited at Compline.

This is one of four Marian antiphons, with following versicles and prayers, traditionally said or sung after night prayer, immediately before going to sleep. It is said throughout Eastertide. (That is, from Easter Day through Pentecost, the seventh Sunday after Easter.  The Regina caeli is also said in place of the Angelus during Eastertide.”

The Legend of the Song

“Perhaps the most interesting legend surrounding the prayer has it being composed, in part, by St. Gregory the Great. The legend has it that in the year 596, during Easter time, a pestilence was ravaging Rome. St. Gregory the Great requested a procession be held to pray that the pestilence be stopped. On the appointed day of the procession he assembled with his clergy at dawn at the church of Ara Coeli. Holding in his hand the icon of our Lady that was said to have been painted by St. Luke, he and his clergy started out in procession to St. Peter's. As he passed the Castle of Hadrian, as it was called in those days, voices were heard from above singing the Regina Caeli. The astonished Pope, enraptured with the angelic singing, replied in a loud voice: "Ora pro nobis Deum. Alleluia!" At that moment an angel appeared in a glorious light, sheathed the sword of pestilence in its scabbard, and from that day the pestilence ceased. In honor of this miraculous event, the name of the castle was then changed to Sant' Angelo and the words of the angelic hymn were inscribed upon the roof of the Church of Ara Coeli.”

The Regina Caeli Prayer

(from ETWN.com)

V.  Regina caeli, laetare, alleluia.             Queen of Heaven, rejoice, alleluia.

R.  Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia.   For He whom you did merit to bear, alleluia.

V.  Resurrexit, sicut dixit, alleluia.           Has risen, as he said, alleluia.

R.  Ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.              Pray for us to God, alleluia.

V.  Gaude et laetare, Virgo Maria, alleluia. Rejoice and be glad, O Virgin Mary, alleluia.

R.  Quia surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia.    For the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.

Let us pray. O God, who gave joy to the world through the resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Rev. Father Jack Sapa, Very Briefly

Father Jack Sapa is walking tall since the issue on sexual misconduct hit  Minglanilla.  He goes around his assignments in the Parish like a lamb having to say nothing about the details of the case and the steps being taken by Team Moderator Father Jojo Deligero.

I have not much info about Father Jack except those that I gather from personal observation each time he offers mass in our Ward Chapel.

If Archbishop Palma decides to re-organize the Team of Pastors, I should want Father Jack to stay and continue his services to the community.  If I may have to make more choices, my next would be Father Oscar Ornopia then Father Joey Belcina.  But if His Excellency wants the Team changed, I could only pray that Father Jack will be made part of it, finally.

Father Jack is of a Napoleonic stature, not as robust as Romulo, not as popular as Mickey Rooney or our own Berting Labra.  To assign an animal to him, I would give Father Jack, the Jackal minus its quarrelsome trait.

A Jackal is an animal that is heavily persecuted by farmers and persecution is a daily bread of men in robes.  It is monogamous, social, resourceful and fearless.  Father Jack may have exercised these traits with reserve due to his position but he is married only to the Church. 

He is a few of those who show consistency to Church Regulations such as the wearing of appropriate dress for church goers and communicants.   He checks them out fatherly so to speak although I have yet to hear him say something about the compulsory wearing of veils and the superiority of receiving communion by the tongue.

His fiery speeches would never fail to illuminate one’s thoughts, even exposes one’s hidden craze.  He draws the attention of the church goers by trumpeting ideas using simple expressions.  He is perhaps the only cohen in Minglanilla that is inexpensive to keep which means he has but simple needs. 

Father Jack would always want to leave home after Mass in he Chapels not because he is acting indifferently but he has yet to prepare for his next duty and needed more relaxation and a good rest.  Of course there are other things I ought to know about him and this would probably happen when our agendas come together for a good cause or if someone true shares me the information.

Let us pray for our Priests.

NEVER ATTACK A PRIEST

Jan. 4, 2012 - Distributing pamphlets with the title NEVER ATTACK A PRIEST in Minglanilla these days is troublesome.  This otherwise silent and patient Parish of the Immaculate Heart has been experiencing giant airwaves one in December last year and just this morning courtesy of Commentator Bobbytrap Nalzaro.

Who said “Never Attack a Priest?”

The following is a document copied from AQ.org on the purported revelations of Jesus Christ to a certain Mutter Vogel, bearing similar messages of that pamphlet Never Attack A Priest which was handed to me by a good friend:

"One should NEVER attack a priest, even when he's in error, rather one should pray and do penance that I'll grant him My grace again.  He alone fully represents Me, even when he doesn't live after My example!" 
(page 29, Mutter Vogel's Worldwide Love, St. Grignion Publishing House, Altoting, South Germany (29. 6. 1929)). 

When a Priest falls we should extend him a helping hand THROUGH PRAYER AND NOT THROUGH ATTACKS! "   I myself will be his judge, NO ONE BUT I!" 
"Whoever voices judgment over a priest has voiced it over Me; child, never let a Priest be attacked, take up his defense. 
" (Feast of Christ the King 1937) 


"Child, Never judge your confessor, rather pray much for him and offer every Thursday, through the hands of My blessed Mother, Holy Communion (for Him) 
(18.6. 1939)&nsp; 


"Never again accept an out-of-the-way word about a Priest, and speak no unkind word (about them) EVEN IF IT WERE TRUE!  Every Priest is My Vicar and My heart will be sickened and insulted because of it!   If you hear a judgment (against a Priest) pray a Hail Mary." (28. 6. 1939) 

"If you see a Priest who celebrates the Holy Mass unworthily then say nothing about him, rather tell it to Me alone!  I stand beside him on the altar!" "Oh pray much for My priests, that they'll love purity above all, that they'll celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass with pure hands and heart. 
Certainly the Holy Sacrifice is one and the same even when it is celebrated by an unworthy priest, but the graces called down upon the people is not the same!" (28. 2. 1938) 

Relax and Be Informed.

The preceding is a private revelation with many inspirational messages. “When the Church approves private revelations, she declares only that there is nothing in them contrary to faith or good morals, and that they may be read without danger or even with profit; no obligation is thereby imposed on the faithful to believe them.” (from the New Advent Org.)

There is not much known about Mutter Vogel except that she lived in Germany, possibly a Nun, and that her ‘revelations’ have never been approved by the Church.  

A Devil’s Handiwork?

The devil is a master of illusion so we can expect something heretical in a hundred good things he says.  This is true to Mutter Vogel’s ‘revelation’ notably the part that says:  “Certainly the Holy Sacrifice is one and the same even when it's celebrated by an unworthy priest, but the graces called down upon the people is not the same!" 

The Church teaches that “from the moment that a sacrament is celebrated in accordance with the intention of the Church, the power of Christ and His Spirit acts in and through it, independently of the personal holiness of the minister.  Nevertheless, the fruits of the sacraments also depend on the disposition of the one who receives them.”

So We Can Criticize a Priest After All!

“Never speaking against a priest is an ingrained part of Catholicism” but “never criticize cannot mean never admonish or correct”.   There is a good reason to keep our priests and bishops more accountable these days as we cannot allow more predators to live in our midst.

“The Church's tradition teaches that Catholics can, and sometimes must rebuke or criticize the clergy- whether they are a priest, bishop, or pope if they teach heresy, disregard the rubrics and texts of the Mass and other Sacraments, are known to be sinning, etc. This is true today, more than ever- with the sex abuse scandal, rampant liturgical abuse, and false teaching and preaching.”

Criticizing priests is not something new.  St. Paul rebuked St. Peter who was the head of the Apostles in public:

However, when Cephas came to Antioch, then I did oppose him to his face since he was manifestly in the wrong (Gal. 2:11 NJB).

Especially for Bobbytrap Nalzaro

Yes, we can criticize a priest when it means sharing the Truth and in Love (Eph. 4:15 NJB) with courtesy and respect and a clear conscience (1 Peter 3:16 NJB), sharing with him, not with someone else, unless refraining from sharing would cause scandal or harm.

 "One who does not abstain from vain, idle, or sinful discourses, and who approaches Holy Communion without repentance, is like a person who gathers a heap of stones at the threshold of his door to throw at his guest when he comes to visit him, or beats him cruelly on the head with a rod." (Part of the Revelations of Our Lord to St. Gertrude the Great)

SALT YOUR FOOD TO DEATH

What is Sodium, What is Salt

While sodium is a mineral, table Salt is a manufactured salt (sodium chloride).  It is a drug, it mimics the taste of natural sea salt.   We need salt for seasoning and sodium for good health.   Salt stops bacterial growth in meat and is a superior preservative.   Manufactured salt is toxic with chemicals like sodium solo-co-aluminate, sodium bicarbonate, fluoride, anti-caking agents, potassium iodide and aluminum derivatives.  It is bleached with Chlorox to make it snow white.  

What makes Iodized Salt Bad

Natural salt which is loose and chunky comes off-white, brown or pink.  It is the kind of salt recommended by health experts to minimize the risk of many diseases especially HBP.  Too much Salt in the body burdens the liver, aggravates kidney problems, increases water retention (edema) and causes reddening of eyes. 

It is true that the use of iodine fortified salt has greatly reduced incidences of goiter and dwarfism and the base salt has always been from rock crystals or sea water.  But times have changed along with, bribery, cost cutting processes and of course the use of sodium chloride as iodized salt.

What dherbs.com says about SALT today:

“This salt that’s being consumed today is really nothing but crude oil extract – a gift from the Rockefeller-owned petroleum industry.  When oil workers are digging for oil in the earth, the digging leaves a flaky residue……. It would actually cost the petroleum or oil industry millions of dollars to dispose of this toxic waste product, but the Rockefellers bribed the food industry and the federal government into allowing them to convert it (crude oil extract) into a chemical food additive called table salt….”

“However, the initial crude oil extract-based salt of the oil industry actually destroyed

the thyroid gland, which is primarily comprised of iodine, and which regulates growth

(as well as metabolism). So to help prevent iodine deficiency-related pathologies and abnormalities due to salt consumption, the salt industry started to iodize its salt….., this synthetic iodine is very poisonous! 

Food seasoning used in Chinese food, is made of sugar and salt and MSG or mono-sodium-glutamate, a cancer causing agent.  This too must be avoided or  replaced with natural salt alternatives made from herbs, seaweeds, and spices which is available in the Philippines at a Dok Alternatibo Herbal Medicine Clinic branch.

Sources of Iodine

Sea Foods     :   Sea vegetables, kelp, saltwater fish, oyster, shellfish, shrimp and sea salt.

Poultry         :   Egg, Turkey breast, milk

Veggies        :   Asparagus, radish, mushrooms, garlic, onions, eggplant, potatoes, TALBOS NG KAMOTE

Others          :   Parsley, passionflower and sarsaparilla, apple cider vinegar,

Causes of Deficiency

Eating excessive amounts of cabbage, nuts, dietary fat or unsaturated oleic acid can deplete iodine levels in the body.

Signs of Deficiency

Lack of energy, irritability, nervousness, slow pulse, dry hair, abnormal fat deposits, breast cancer, goiter, hardening of the arteries, high cholesterol, anemia, mental retardation and cold hands and feet.

Precautions

Do not take if you have elevated serum potassium, myotonia, Consult a doctor if you have hyperthyroidism, kidney disease, amiloride, antithyroid medication, lithium, spironolactone or triamterene.

Too much iodine during the pregnancy, may cause the baby to suffer from a thyroid enlargement, hypothyroidism,dwarfism and mental deficiency).

Avoid supplements of iodine when breastfeeding.  Iodine in milk can cause skin rashes, abnormality of thyroid function in your baby.

LET US PRAY FOR MINGLANILLA

After a long night of confession and forgiveness I thought my wife and I could easily move on but the events that followed our reconciliation became almost unbearable.  My infidelity and betrayal were inviting problems bigger than we could handle.   I resigned my job and lost many chances of quality time with my wife and kids.  After almost one and a half decades of exile, I saved my marriage and kept my family intact. 

When a Catholic priest does a merry-go-round the odds become different.  Because he is a public figure his infidelity and betrayal,  could wreak a faithful Parish especially if one or two of his kind would mount a cover-up story for a crime beyond the courts of man.  Yet very much unlike the laity, a Catholic priest may opt for solutions.  He could apply for a special compensation from Rome, leave his office and marry the girl of his dream.  He could jump into the other Group that allows ministers to raise a family. 

But in the spirit of truth, forgiveness and reconciliation the best option for him would be to stay put and confess, accept any sanction, ask for re-assignment and cease being a pain in the ass forever.  If the charges aren’t true, he may just have to continue his office and let God unburden his spirit.


For what have been said and printed, Minglanillians may need something enlightening and convincing to welcome the New Year not just lip service or recycled discourses.  But everybody should exercise caution, not breed commotion.


It is unjust to punish someone for a crime already paid for.  It is alright if he made a ditto.  It was a false charge that brought Jesus to the Cross.  Martyrs die because of false   testimonies.  Would you like to cast the first stone?


Minglanilla needs this prayer.  Merry Christmas:

Dear God You are merciful and just and You don’t fail to punish the wicked and save the just.  Please heal us of our doubts and anger.  Console us to be always united to You, in Mary's care.  Make our ministers obedient, trustworthy and loyal to their vows, especially caring for us in Jesus' name.   Mother Mary Immaculate, pray for us.  Amen.

EGGS ARE OUR FRIENDS

Nutrition Myth:   The yolk of a large egg has 5g of FAT and with its dietary cholesterol it is one of the causes of heart disease.

Cholesterol has two types namely:  dietary and serum or blood cholesterol.  Both are important to the body in maintaining the cell walls, producing Vitamin D, and insulating the nerve fibers.

While dietary cholesterol is found in meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, and dairy products, serum cholesterol is produced in the liver and floats around the bloodstream.  Serum cholesterol is divided into two sub-categories:  HDL or high-density lipoprotein and LDL or low-density lipoprotein.

LDL serum cholesterol is considered bad because it sticks to artery walls and too much of it in the body causes heart problems.   Recent studies have shown that food rich in dietary cholesterol doesn’t increase serum cholesterol levels.  Such was the result of a statistical analysis conducted over 25 years by Dr. Wanda Howell and colleagues at the University of Arizona.  The study revealed that people who eat 2 eggs a day with low-fat diets do not show signs of increased serum cholesterol levels.

So how is cholesterol raised in the body?  Of the 3 known types of fat - saturated, mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated - SATURATED FAT raises serum cholesterol and LDL levels.  

ERGO!  Fresh eggs (especially Itlog Bisaya) which contain mostly polyunsaturated fat (@ 0.72:1 USDA Data), and low in saturated fat (1.2-2 grams) can actually LOWER blood cholesterol (if one replaces food containing saturated fat with it).

The Nutrients found in eggs provide the following health benefits (www.getcracking.ca):

-Choline            :  Assists in brain development, function and memory

-Folate              :  Helps produce and maintain new cells, especially red blood cells

-Iron                  :  Carries oxygen to the cells and keeps blood healthy

-Lutein and Zeaxanthin:  Help maintain good vision and reduce the risk of developing cataracts; help protect eyes against harmful UV rays

-Niacin              :  Promotes normal nerve function and helps release energy

-Omega-3 fats   :  Improve blood cholesterol and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease

-Protein             :  Helps keep a body strong and healthy

-Riboflavin         :  Helps keep body tissues healthy

-Vitamin A         :  Protects against some cancers and may slow the aging process

-Vitamin B12      :  Helps protect against heart disease

-Vitamin D         :  Helps keep bones healthy and teeth strong

-Vitamin E         :  Acts as an antioxidant that protects cells against some cancers

-Zinc                 :  Helps maintain a strong immune system

Doctors and Dieticians in the UK are saying that Eggs are a good choice as part of a healthy balanced diet.  If we are told to watch out for cholesterol levels, we only need to cut down on saturated fats.  And if we are on a healthy balanced diet, we just have to cut down on eggs say from 3 or 2 a day if we consume eggs at 6 a day (some sources indicate that a large size egg has only 1.5g saturated fat).

It is best to eat 3 to 6 itlog bisaya (eggs produced by naturally grown local chickens in the Philippines) a day with Camote (sweet potatoe), kulo (bread fruit), kamoteng kahoy (cassava), gabi (taro), ube (purple yam), etc.   Rice, white bread, iodized salt, manufactured vinegar, anything with MSG and soft drinks MUST be avoided.  To make food tasteful, herbal appetizers like herbal vinegar composition, rock salt, along with other herbal compositions, are available at a Dok Alternatibo Herbal Medicine Clinic and Wellness Center in the Philippines.  There is one clinic in Cebu just across the U.S.C. Gymnasium at Sanciangko Street.  WELCOME!

(Note:  Dok Alternatibo has nothing to do with this write-up)

DO YOU HAVE A PLAN

We will surely die.

But are too occupied to give it a thought.

That even in dying,

We pray for death to go away.

We abhor disease, war, and violence because they bring death

We detest suicide because it violates our desire to live.

But we love making money harming ourselves,

Kill our kind.

We uproot trees to build our cities

Relocate mountains, destroy our seas.

We pump our waste to rivers

And gas to the air.

We grow our grains and veggies fast

Our meat and poultry superfast

All these for profit and convenience

For a shorter life and sure death.

P.S.:  Do you like to age faster or die even faster?  You can eat more --

-Pastries, donuts and toaster cakes.  They are a combo of white flour sugar and fat.

-Hot dogs look like protein but are actually 80% fat.  Fatty meats lead to diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

-There's a lot of white refined flour, fat meats, and cheese in Pizzas that clog the arteries.

-A medium bucket of (movies) Popcorn has more calories and fat than 3 fast-food burgers.

Or --  Go for  thin-crust pizzas, make your own pope corn, eat more fiber-rich veggies, and fresh fruits to live a little longer.  And be serious on your detox plan.

DETOX SIMPLIFIED

Detoxification (detox for short) is the medicinal removal of toxic (poisonous) substances from a living organism including the human body.

Why Detox?

There are toxins in the food that we eat to make us sick forever without cure.  

“Processed foods have, indeed, been implicated in a host of chronic diseases and health conditions that are currently plaguing the nation. What follows is just a taste of the risks processed foods may present to your health.

The fact that these foods are so readily available, and, often, of such poor quality, has led some, like associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard David Ludwig, to say that they're actually discouraging healthy eating and leading to a toxic environment. 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) maintains a list of over 3,000 chemicals that are added to the processed food supply. These compounds do various things to food: add color, stabilize, texturize, preserve, sweeten, thicken, add flavor, soften, emulsify and more.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says processed foods are to blame for the sharp rise in obesity (and chronic disease) seen around the world.”  (www.SixWise.com)

And These Diseases Are

Bladder stone, Cancer, Diabetes, Heart diseases, Hepatitis, Gall bladder stone, Kidney stone, Obesity, Stroke and many more.

WE CAN EITHER STOP EATING PROCESSED FOOD WHICH IS DIFFICULT OR CONTINUE OUR POISONOUS DIET IN THIS WORLD OF CHEMICALS BUT GET RID OF THE TOXINS AND POISONS IN OUR BODIES AND BLOOD SYSTEMS BY THE CHEAPEST AND EFFICACIOUS WAY TO MORE OR LESS EXTEND OUR LIFE!

  

Detoxification by Activated

HARDWOOD OR COCO CHARCOAL

The Charcoal Powder Therapy

-         not an antibiotic nor a cure for all

-         but may be taken as a first step to remove causes of diseases

-         70% of diseases is caused by things which enters the mouth meat, cigarette, liquor, processed foods, synthetic medicines, even the air we breathe

-         cleansing by charcoal is ideal as prevention of chronic diseases or even cure of same

-         see a physician if abdominal pain or swelling occurs as this could be a sign of intestinal blockage.

What is Activated Charcoal

Activated charcoal is commonly used in alternative and mainstream medicine.  The charcoal is placed in a tank and is treated 600 to 900 degrees C without any air, and then infused with nitrogen and argon. The material is then exposed to steam and oxygen at temperatures that ranges from 650 to 1200 degrees C.

Home-made heated charcoal is not recommended for internal use.  However it is a good material for making a charcoal powder poultice which is to be applied to an infected area (joints, neck, abdomen, back, etc.).

Early Uses Of Charcoal

“The medical uses for charcoal date back to the Egyptian Papyrus of 1550 B.C. During the time of Hippocrates (400 B.C.) physicians treated epilepsy and anthrax with charcoal. In the 1700s charcoal was often prescribed for bilious problems (excessive bile excretion). After the development of the charcoal activation process (1870 to 1920), many reports appeared in medical journals about activated charcoal as an antidote for poisons and a cure for intestinal disorders.

Contemporary Charcoal Use

Modern research has validated most of the early uses for charcoal and discovered exciting new applications ....  for activated charcoal:

Universal antidote for drugs, chemicals and poisons*.

Systemic clearance of drugs and intoxicants.

General detoxification.

Anti-aging and life extension.

Reducing cholesterol, coronary disease and arteriosclerosis.

Counteracting pathogens.

Intestinal complaints.

Antidote For Drugs, Chemicals and Poisons

*60 grams of activated charcoal as a counterpoison taken within 30 minutes of ingesting the poison.

General Detoxification

Very few health practitioners realize that activated charcoal is the best single supplement for enhancing detoxification. Detoxification is an on-going biological process that prevents toxins (from infectious agents, food, air, water, and substances that contact the skin) from destroying health. Chronic exposure to toxins produces cellular damage, diverse diseases, allergic like reactions, compromised immunity and premature aging.

Whether it be a colon cleanse, liver cleanse, kidney cleanse, for full body cleansing, or poison detox, activated charcoal will, to a greater or lesser degree, be beneficial and should be included in any natural cleansing or detox program. (Butactivatedcharcoal.com)

A recommended Adult DETOX protocol for anti-aging/life extension benefits :

Use activated charcoal on 2 consecutive days each week.  Put 2 heaping  tablespoon activated charcoal powder in a tight lid container (say a Gatorade bottle) filled with 300 ml water.  Shake well, drink, and follow-up with a glass of water. Take the drink 1.5 to 2 hours before each meal; wait about the same time before taking your medicines or your food supplements.

(1 tbsp activated charcoal which weighs about 5grams is equivalent to 4 capsules or 8 tablets activated charcoal)

Avoid excessive calories or processed foods on these 2 days. Continue the detox for 3 months, REPEATING IT AFTER A MONTH’S BREAK.

To neutralize toxic substances in the environment, PLAIN charcoal cubes maybe hanged in nets at conspicuous places.  Powdered plain charcoal maybe used for poultice for cuts, burns, and simple ailments.

Charcoal Is Safe

For contaminated water charcoal adsorbs diphtheria, tetanus, dysentery and many other bacteria that cause human health problems. Charcoal is used in many kinds of water filters to purify drinking water. It adsorbs chlorine, and many other harmful chemicals. There is nothing better than charcoal.

Activated charcoal has a natural tendency to cause constipation. That can be counteracted by taking a mild herbal laxative with the activated charcoal or eat ripe papaya for 3 days. Finally activated charcoal harmlessly blackens your stools. Although black-gray stools look strange, they can be used to calculate your bowel transit time. Just measure the length of time from taking activated charcoal to the appearance of darkened stools.

Activated charcoal not only neutralizes drugs in the stomach, small intestines, and colon, but can also attract drugs from the blood circulation in the area of the gastrointestinal tract and inactivate these poisons. This is called “gastrointestinal dialysis.”

In hospitals, Charcoal is used when the Optimum Time For Oral Administration Has Been Missed?

There is a method called HEMOPERFUSION, only done at hospitals and clinics that do DIALYSIS, where the patient’s blood is run over granular charcoal to purify it, and then the blood is put back into the patient.

“Pharmacist P.F. Touery, shocked colleagues at The French Academy of Medicine in 1831 by drinking a massive dose of lethal strychnine in front of them. Amazingly, he suffered no toxic effects. He had combined the deadly poison with activated charcoal, an antidote and detoxifying agent that goes back centuries.”

Dr. Al Sears, MD, has his patients use it for detoxing even heavy metals, and he uses it himself. For heavy metal detoxifying, he recommends a total of 20 grams per day, spaced apart in two to four doses, over a 12 day period.”  NaturalNews.com

“Activated Charcoal for Mercury Detox

Once the charcoal is activated, it can be used to help detoxify the body. Activated charcoal is not something the body will digest, and the charcoal is also not absorbed by the body through natural digestive properties. It is not possible to overdose on activated charcoal when it is consumed. For children, the appropriate dosage is roughly 25 to 50g. Meanwhile, the appropriate dosage for adults is commonly assessed based on a person's body weight. In general, a single gram is offered for every kilogram of a person's body weight. Activated charcoal can be consumed as tablets: a single 280mg tablet can be consumed daily after eating a meal to help remove mercury accumulations from the body.”  eHowhealth.com
