I was shocked and sad when I returned home last time, I heard a teenage girl from two houses away neighbor died due to leukemia.
Actually there was a new drug from a US company to control leukeamia from exploding, the catch is about USD 1000 per month for medical expenses for the patient entire life.
I wonder why local doctors still using chemotherapy to treat leukeamia, why not to recommend new drug if the patient is afford to pay for the medical cost.
Gan fights to get back on court
By DESIREE TRESA GASPER
JOHOR BARU: Gutsy teenagers like Gan Cheng Wei are the reason why cliches like “down but not out” should be repeated regularly.
Despite being diagnosed with leukaemia in March, the state badminton player is determined to return to the game he loves so much.
World No 1 Datuk Lee Chong Wei has stepped in to set up a fund to pay for the teenager’s medical treatment.
The fund received a donation of RM10,000 from Teori Warisan Sdn Bhd, the developer of Seasons Luxury Apartments.

Cheng Wei’s elder sister, Mei Ying, 34, who received the donation on behalf of her brother, said her family members were thankful that Lee had started the initiative.
“My brother has always idolised him,” she said, adding that her sibling had wanted to be a badminton player since he was seven.
During the mock cheque handing over ceremony yesterday, Mei Ying said her brother was devastated when he initially found out about his illness.
“Although he is in pain, he is determined to return and play badminton.”
However, she said Cheng Wei was currently feeling weak as he was undergoing chemotherapy.
“The only time that he actually forgot about his disease and smiled was when Lee visited him a couple of weeks ago,” she said.
Her entire family is now praying that Cheng Wei will be able to fight the disease.
”We are very thankful for the financial support. Our parents are retired and our four other siblings are chipping in what they can to pay for his treatment,” she said.
Lee said he personally started the initiative as he felt that he needed to help Cheng Wei recover. He also plans to visit Cheng Wei again once the boy is stronger.
Lee said those interested in contributing to the fund could forward their queries to kongtm@theseasons.com.my or contact 07-2263388.
When we get older, our immune system is weakening by days, uncontrolled consumption of man-made chemical compound is last thing we should do.
Fresh milk, plain water (still depending on the source of tap water), natural beverages like coffee and tea should be in our menu, where canned drinks like soda, fruit juice, etc. should be scrapped from the menu.
Coke addictive can potentially causing cancer as thorum-232 if you eat it in high doses.

ATLANTA: High levels of a chemical that causes tumours in animals were found in Coca-Cola and PepsiCo sodas, according to a consumer advocacy group pressing US regulators to ban a colour additive. The chemical 4-methylimidazole was found in Coca-Cola, Pepsi Cola, Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi and is the caramel colouring used in the beverages , according to a study released on Tuesday by the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
The group petitioned the US Food and Drug Administration in February to ban the ammonia sulphite colouring, which is found in most colas. “Coke and Pepsi, with the acquiescence of the FDA, are needlessly exposing millions of Americans to a chemical that causes cancer,” said Michael F Jacobson, the Washington-based group’s executive director, said. “The FDA needs to protect consumers from this risk.”
The FDA has no reason to believe there is any immediate risk from the substance and is reviewing the group’s petition, said Douglas Karas , an agency spokesman, in an e-mail . A consumer would have to drink more than a thousand cans of soda in a day to match the doses administered in studies that showed links to cancer in rodents, the FDA said.
The root of kapok tree can be used to cure wound due to diabetic.
The doctor in JB general hospital told my uncle that one leg with severe wound due to diabetic has be amputated to save his life. A few days before leg amputation, my mum called and introduced this traditional medicine to my uncle.
My uncle decided to postpone the amputation operation and consumed the boiled essence from the kapok root for a few weeks. Finally the wound was fully recovered and his leg was saved.
My mum is also consuming kapok essence to control her diabetic illness, in one time her leg was also infected with severe wound until I have to send her to see a diabetic specialist for expensive treatment.
Consult your doctor first before using any traditional curing method. Please use my recommendation at your own risk because my uncle case is not scientifically studied.
Studies in the lab show worms, flies, rats, etc. are living much longer if they keep in controlled starvation condition.
Go hungry to cheat your brain that you are in the hardship, your cell lifespan is extended to give you more chances to produce offspring. This is probable biological reason why starvation prolongs the lifespan.
Singapore senile politician, Lim Kuan Yew practiced 70% full stomach eating habit to keep healthy body which may sound rational if lab result is applicable to human being.
It’s much better they upload how to be a good wife course material on the youtube for mass audiences. It must be an instant hit.
Dr. Chua Sok Lek can be our instructor on how to be a good husband with his superb performance on the bed.
I have to say Malay girls enjoy sex more than Chinese girls. LOL
This different behavior on the bed may be due to cultural differences.
Obedient Wives Club to offer sex lessons on how to pleasure husbands
By ISABELLE LAI
RAWANG: Sex lessons to help wives “serve their husbands better than a first-class prostitute” will be among the courses provided by the Obedient Wives Club (OWC) to help promote harmonious marriages and counter social ills.
Its vice-president Dr Rohaya Mohamad said it was time sexual prowess took a front seat in marriage beyond the traditional “good mother or good cook” roles.
 Ishak Md Nor (centre) poses with two of his three wives, Aishah Ghafar (left) and second wife Afiratul Abidah Anan and three of his nine children, at the launch of The Obedient Wives Club in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday. “A good or religious wife is also sexually good in bed,” she told reporters after the launch of the club’s Malaysian chapter at the Perangsang Templer Golf Club Saturday.
A husband who was kept happy in the bedroom would have no reason to stray or seek out prostitutes or indulge in other social vices, said Dr Rohaya, who was a medical doctor for 15 years in the Health Ministry before taking a leadership role in the club.
“The family institution is protected and we can curb social ills like prostitution, domestic violence, human trafficking and abandoned babies,” she said, adding that she believed these problems stemmed from unfulfilled sexual needs at home.
Dr Rohaya, said the club would also offer counselling and lecture sessions for wives, husbands or couples.
She said the Malaysian chapter had around 800 members while its Jordan chapter had 200, with the Indonesian chapter set to be launched on June 19 in Jakarta.
When questioned whether wives should remain obedient if their husbands still abused or cheated on them with prostitutes, Dr Rohaya said everyone was subject to God’s rule.
“God has his ways and is fair to all. A husband is also subject to God’s rule, meaning he can go to hell too. But a woman must be a good wife to the end,” she said, adding that according to Islam, women should pray, fast during Ramadhan, protect their chastity and obey their husbands if they wanted to enter Heaven.
OWC and the Polygamy Club was formed by Global Ikhwan Sdn Bhd, an organisation founded by former members of the banned Al-Arqam Islamic group.
A mass wedding reception for eight couples was also held during the launch.
The brides were aged 18 to 22 while the grooms were aged 20 to 48. All are OWC members and agreed that disobedient wives were the cause of many social ills.
