Pig DNA in Our Foods

   

Malaysian Muslims are in a huge uproar over pig DNA that was detected in two varieties of Cadbury’s chocolate bars (read more). Fingers are pointing everywhere - JAKIM (the halal certification agency), the Health Ministry, and of course, Cadbury themselves. (What, nobody accusing saboteurs?) Some Muslims even want their stomachs pumped or are demanding that Cadbury pay for their blood transfusions. Quothe Ms. Sabariah Abdullah from the Allied Coordinating Committee of Islamic NGOs, which represents 18 major Islamic NGOs in Malaysia, “We are what we eat. [As a result of consuming pig DNA], our faces will also look like pigs. Psychologically, we will also become like pigs.” Now, everyone knows that is ridiculous. Pigs are very intelligent.

Nevertheless, if Miss Sabariah and her ilk are still seeking a remedy, I recommend they try this:

Why get your knickers in a twist over such a small matter, really? Yes, a very small matter! Cos you have all been consuming pig DNA your entire lives, and all the products are approved and recommended by Jakim and the Healthy Ministry. So why are you suddenly so upset now?

Here are four things containing pig DNA that you have been consuming since before you were even born: 

Vaccines

Oh yes, you did! You gave your baby pig DNA on the first day of its life. What, you didn’t know what you paid for? Well, that just goes to show what an astute consumer you are. It’s clearly listed on the box.




Vaccines contain four kinds of pig products:

  1. The culture. Viruses, like all living things, need food to survive. They are parasites that cannot forage for their own food, so they have to live off their hosts. Some viruses survive better in chicken eggs, some on sup tulang (bovine serum), some prefer exotic monkeys (vero cells), and some like good ol’ pork soup (porcine serum). Yep, viruses also like bakuteh! It’s a universal favourite! And then all that is put into the needle because there is no way to isolate the virus from the soup. I’ll explain in a minute why it’s ok to drink pork soup but not ok to inject pork soup, regardless of whether you are a Muslim, Jew or atheist. Oh, and what about bovine serum? Was the cow, calf or foetus killed in a halal manner? What about the pig? Was it slaughtered in a halal manner too? Things to think about... There are no half-measures.
  2. Pig cells. Viruses are unable to reproduce by themselves. They have to hijack a host animal’s cells and use its DNA-replicating mechanism to replicate themselves. Since no human has volunteered to be locked up in a lab for the rest of their lives so that they can be jabbed every day, and because no living thing makes a good host because their immune system would kill the viruses in a few days, any replication of viruses must be done in a petri dish, outside of the body and away from the immune system. Different viruses fare better in different animals, and one of the animals used is the pig. (Side note: Scientists are unable to create vaccines for some viruses because they cannot survive in any animal other than humans.) The pig’s cells are isolated and cultured in the lab, then infected with viruses which then hijack the cells to create more viruses. Doctors then buy these viruses and sell them to healthy people who are looking to get sick (cari sakit).
  3. Pork gelatin. Gelatin is added to most vaccines. Gelatin in vaccines are derived from pigs, unless otherwise specified.
  4. Pig viruses. Technically, this is not pig since it is a virus, not a pig. But, since it came from a pig.... Now, most Muslims would say that pig faeces is haram, but faeces is not really pig, although it came from one. What about viruses that came from a pig (“of porcine origin”) but is not a pig - so, is it halal or not? Pig viruses like the porcine circovirus (which contaminated the Rotarix diarrhoea vaccine) and swine flu virus (engineered by Roche to reduce the population of stupids and renamed H1N1 so as not to lose Muslim customers) are not pigs, although they did come from the bowels and blood of a pig. Well then, I shall leave the holy and shmoly to decide for you whether you are going to heaven or hell.

To those who fed your kids Cadbury and are now jumping up and down and demanding a blood transfusion or dialysis, please don’t subject your kids (and the rest of the world) to your moronism because once food reaches your stomach, your stomach acid will break it down into amino acids, lipids, sugar, water, etc. - no DNA enters your bloodstream because that would create all kinds of havoc. But vaccines - now, these pig DNAs are injected whole and directly into your bloodstream. And not just DNA, because when you inject serum from a pig, you inject whatever else may be in there, like unidentified viruses. That was how the rotavirus vaccine was contaminated by pig viruses (and how the polio vaccine was contaminated in the 1960’s by the AIDS virus from African monkeys, which was not identified until 10+ years later). Injecting pig DNA, pig serum and pig gelatin is wayyy worse than eating all that because there is nothing in your blood to digest or break down foreign matter. (That is why 90% of your immune system is in your gut, not your blood - because most viruses enter through your mouth, not your arm.) Plus, everything in the vaccine is coated with vegetable oil (usually peanut or wheatgerm oil, causing peanut and wheat allergies when your body creates immunity to these foreign matters) as a sort of timed-release mechanism in order to slow down its deterioration once out of the bottle and in your bloodstream. Remember, things cannot be digested in your bloodstream, they can only degrade - meaning break down into smaller pieces, but never be reduced into its basic materials like in your stomach. So all that pig DNA you injected? They swirled around in your blood for a loooong time. Much longer than it took for the one you ate to go down the toilet - and even then, that DNA never entered your blood. Now go sue the Health Ministry and ask them to pay for you and your kids to get a full-body and brain transplant! Good luck finding a donor who has never injected pigs before though.

See the complete list of ingredients for all vaccines. Anything that says ‘human cells’ means it came from an aborted human foetus - another ingredient that Jakim has certified halal. Anything for money!!!

Cigarette Filters

Pig haemoglobin (a component in red blood cells) is used to make cigarette filters “more effective in blocking harmful chemicals before they enter the smoker’s lungs.” (Source)

Admit it - you’ve been consuming smoked pork and subjecting your children to second-hand smoked pork for years. We all know char siew is delicious, and so do you.

And who approved this for your consumption? The Health Ministry has stamped their stamp of approval very clearly on all the boxes, no? You know whom to sue. Besides, doesn’t the Quran say that it is haram to knowingly consume anything that is harmful to the body? So don’t forget to sue yourselves too, and the smoker in your family. Now you need a lung, brain, liver, kidney, tongue, mouth and nose transplant. Oh, you might as well go the whole hog and transplant your entire body cos it’s all contaminated anyway, and not just by pig cells. Surely you can’t get into heaven after knowingly pumping your body full of 5,000 toxic chemicals 40 times a day, every day for years and years! Nobody wants you and your stinky breath there.


Drinking Water

In Malaysia, drinking water is sourced from water catchment areas far away from civilisation, where the surrounding land is still covered in thick forests.... full of wild boars!

So wild boar poos and pees on the soil, rain washes poo and pee into the river, and voila, it’s all in your tap water! When the boar dies, its body decomposes and its meat, blood and juices are washed into the river too. So everybody consumes pig DNA every day, and you’ve been doing it since the day you were conceived. If you don’t like it, you’d just have to move to another country cos pigs were here first.






Oranges

In 2005, orange crops in the US were decimated by a disease spread by insects (read more). No amount of pesticides did any good, neither were there any trees which had developed any natural immunity to it. The solution? Genetic modification - adding pig genes into the tree. I don’t know what defence pigs have against orange-eating insects, but whatevs, now pigs can grow on trees, yeeha! What, you don’t want to consume GMO foods? But you already are! And have been for ages. You probably don’t know it because it’s not listed on the ingredients. Ha, our trusty govt has made sure of that! Malaysia has been importing tonnes of GMO soy and corn since 2010, which means that it is in almost every processed food you eat now. (GMO means any food or plant that contains genes from a different species that can never occur in nature.)

Well, I guess if the Health Ministry says it’s ok to eat, then it must be, right? After all, they are the ones who approved the sale of cigarettes to protect your health. Yeah, something like that. So I guess oranges with pig DNA must also be good for you. (We do not have GMO oranges here yet, but it’s just a matter of time.) The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment has time and again deferred the labelling of GMO foods, so that you would not know what you are eating. Gee, I wonder what they’re trying to hide.... I guess if food were labelled clearly like vaccines, everyone would stop eating processed food and it would make a big dent in their cronies’ pockets, so your ignorance is their bliss.... So just shut up and drink your pork orange juice like the good non-protesting citizen that you are supposed to be!

You have been unprotestingly consuming pig DNA every single day since before you were even born. If you are like most sheeple, you didn’t once get upset about it or sued anybody or pumped your stomach. So why get upset over a bit of chocolate now? What, you didn’t know? Well, now that you know smoking is haram, are you gonna quit?

Email 敬语

许多人在写信的时候,都需要在签名之前写一下致意词,用以提高信件的书面正式程度。

在英文信件中,常见的致意词有:Cheers, Sincerely, Regards, Best Wishes,那么很多人都有这样的疑问,英文信件最后 Cheers, Sincerely, Regards, Best Wishes 到底有什么区别?分别应该在什么语境下使用呢?

今天我们就来看一看在什么场合该使用什么敬语,先说几个最常见的:

Cheers, 常用于朋友,工作团队之间,类似互相鼓励,大家说“加油”。这个词很Casual,听起来不是很职业化,不建议用在非常正式的工作场合。

Sincerely, 是比较正式的场合使用,套话,真诚的,用于推荐信,辞职信,求职信,以及其他正式文书等。

Regards, 大致像“此致敬礼”的感觉。

Best wishes/warm wishes,友好而亲切的慰问感觉,适用于朋友之间,亲朋之间的问候。

以上只是一些非常常见的致意语,需要根据收件人的身份以及文章的语气内容选择,如果你实在不知道该用哪个,其实简单的Thanks就可以了。


下面我们再看看其他常用的致意词的用法:

There are some slight differences in connotations of each letter ending. I'll order them in increasing formality.
在英文信件中,结尾词所表达的涵义往往存在着一些细微的差别。在这里我将一一对它们进行详细分析。
Love 爱你
Very personal. Used between lovers, family and close friends.
一种非常私人的表达方式。通常在恋人、家人或亲密朋友之间才会使用。

Cheers 谢谢/再见
Very casual. Used between friends. Can be used between coworkers if you want to appear very casual, at the risk of sounding unprofessional.
一种很随便的非正式的表达方式。通常在朋友之间使用,也可以用于同事或合作伙伴之间表现得很随便,但难免会让人觉得不够专业。

Take care 保重
Casual and used between friends.
一种非正式的表达,常用于朋友之间。

Thanks or Thank You 谢谢
'Thanks' is very casual and 'Thank You' is formal. Usually used in a business setting. 'Thank You' is a great way to end an email to a stranger, especially if you are making a request or asking a question.
“Thanks”是一种比较随便的表达方式,“Thank you”则显得比较正式。两者通常在商务场合中使用。此外,当你需要给不认识的人写信,尤其是当你需要向对方发出请求或询问问题的时候,“Thank you”就非常合适用来作为结尾语。

Yours or Yours Truly or Truly 敬启/谨启
Casual or Business casual. A more personal, but still polite way to end the letter. You've probably met the recipient in real life.
一种随便的或商务上非正式的表达方式。作为信件结尾往往显得比较私人,但又不失庄重。收件人通常是你在现实生活中认识的人。

Best or Best Wishes祝好
Casual or Business casual. A polite way to end the letter. Can be used between friends or strangers.
一种随便的或商务上非正式的表达方式。作为信件结尾,是一种礼貌用语,可用于朋友或陌生人之间。

Sincerely or Sincerely Yours or Yours Sincerely谨致问候
Casual, Business casual or Formal. The standard letter ending. 'Sincerely' is the most versatile ending because it can be used to end either casual or formal correspondence. If you're unsure about how to sign your letter, use 'Sincerely'.
一种随便的、商务中非正式的或正式的表达方式。“Sincerely”可以用于正式的或非正式的邮件往来中,是最通用的结尾语。当你不知道该用什么结尾语的时候,就可以使用“Sincerely”。

Regards or Best Regards致敬
Business casual or formal. You would use this if the recipient is someone you haven't met in real life.
一种商务上非正式的或正式的表达方式,可以在当收件人并非你在现实生活中所认识的人的时候使用。

Cordially诚挚地问候/敬上/谨上
Formal. Used in business correspondence when the topic of the letter is serious. Sometimes used if there is a conflict between the sender and the recipient.
一种正式的表达方式,通常在涉及严肃话题的商业信函中使用,有时候也用于存在矛盾或分歧的两个寄件人和收件人之间。

Using an ending that is too casual for the situation may not always be inappropriate. Conversely, using a casual ending can show your self-confidence. But to do this requires you to gauge whether the recipient would like a more casual conversation.
在书信中使用非常随便的、非正式的结尾语并非总是不恰当的。相反,非正式的结尾反而能够表达出你的自信,但同时你也需要判断收件人是否愿意使用更随便一点的方式和你交谈。
通常来说,在信件末尾使用正式致意词会显得发信人非常礼貌和自信,但是也要考虑一下收件者的心理,是否喜欢你和他(她)这样过于正式有距离的感觉,所以非正式的致意词在我们的生活中仍然占有相当重要的位置。

揭密/潛意識情緒規劃!常見的十種惡夢及含義~


世界很可怕,有時就算睡覺也擺脫不了恐懼。惡夢是人類普遍的困境,據估計2~6%的人每周至少做一次惡夢。蒙特利爾大學夢與惡夢實驗室指出 青少年是惡夢高發年齡,學前兒童和老年人惡夢較少,女性惡夢要比男性多。雖然做惡夢是非常不爽的,但夢境學家越來越確定惡夢是一種潛意識的情緒規劃,在夜 晚驅趕你的緊張與惶恐。讓我們一起來看看最常見的10種惡夢及它們說傳遞的訊息吧!

1. 失足
常見的十種噩夢及含義根據煎蛋網報導,每個人都曾夢到過因各種原因被迫跌落,那種失重感是那麼的逼真。那麼首先要告訴你個好消息:那些『如果你夢到自己從高處跌落摔到地上,那麼 意味著你在現實生活中將要死去』的謠言是假的!你有沒有試過馬上就要睡著的時候,突然有種要下墜的感覺?一些科學家認為這是由於血壓變化所導致的,就好像 你不經意間滑倒一樣。雖然知道這個結果好像對當下也沒什麼用,但知道事情的真相可以讓『解夢』更加合理化。跌落的夢境通常被解釋為:對失控的恐懼、情緒的 失衡等等。還有一種進化論的解釋:下墜夢境是人類作為靈長類動物的重要殘留證據。



2. 追逐
常見的十種噩夢及含義佛洛伊德認為這種夢境代表了特定的性恐懼:對男性來說是閹割,對女性來說是強姦。不過弗洛伊德那一套已經被廣泛拋棄了,因為他把一切都歸結為性。更多的現代 解釋認為追逐夢暗喻了不安全感,你自己的不安全感或周圍環境的不安全感,或者與未解決的內疚有關。還有一些解釋認為那些在夢里追逐你的東西就你自己還沒有 接受的東西。






3. 全裸
常見的十種噩夢及含義在 夢鄉裡一切都ok啦,大象在大街上遊蕩,你準備在老師和貓咪陪審團面前做展示,然後你發現,啊,沒穿衣服!對於這種裸夢,一般有兩種解釋。一是被曝光的恐 懼,有些你不想被大家看到的東西公之於眾了。另一種解釋是自卑,好像每個人都能透過表面看穿你的弱點一樣。然而,如果夢裡沒人發現你是裸的,那麼這個夢是 在告訴你你白害怕了,你的擔心在現實中不會發生的。





4. 受傷
常見的十種噩夢及含義在 夢境中受傷跟你清醒時感覺到的弱項有關。如果是一個自傷的夢,意味著你害怕自己會妨礙自身利益。如果是別人傷害你,可能意味著你覺得你要被炒魷魚了。如果 你在夢中成功防守,阻止了傷害,那麼這可能是一個好的提示,說明你有能力解決哪些困擾著你的事物。要是在夢裡你很疼,可能腦子裡聯想的是以前曾經經歷過的 疼痛,或者是代表了情感的傷害。







5. 掉牙
常見的十種噩夢及含義這個常見的夢境有幾種可能的意思。可以代表對外表或年齡的自知,或者對丟臉的恐懼。這是一個對於掉牙夢境的生理解釋:那些磨牙的或者牙齒敏感的人更容易做掉牙的夢。如果你牙疼,半夜又做掉牙的夢,那麼這個夢就是反應了你意識裡的潛在擔憂。







6. 迷路
常見的十種噩夢及含義還 記得潛意識喜歡雙關嗎?它有時候也是會喜歡俗套的解釋。夢到迷路一般反映就是一種迷失的感覺。然而你是怎麼迷路的這一點很重要,如果在夢裡你的靈魂飄到一 個陌生的地方,那麼意味著你不確定自己想要什麼,下不了決定。如果你只是在森林裡或陌生的城市裡迷路,那就說明你遇到了瓶頸,生活中的某個方面沒有進展。







7. 被困
常見的十種噩夢及含義這又是一個俗套的解釋,夢到被困反映的是現實中的困境。也許是被困在工作的死胡同裡,或者無從選擇。另一種含糊一點的解釋是不願意妥協。但通常,你的潛意識是透過隱喻來推動你採取行動的。








8. 考試
常見的十種噩夢及含義顯然,這個夢在你畢業前是趕不走的。你經常要夢到那些你並不擅長的考試。理論家指出這是因為考試在現實生活中實在讓人亞歷山大,潛意識裡你會希望自己能完美通過。夢到沒有複習過的考試意味著你害怕面對生活中未知的挑戰。夢中考砸了被認為有可能是一個好徵兆。







9. 死亡
常見的十種噩夢及含義就像失足一樣,你在夢裡死了,你在現實沒死。反正夢裡的死亡並不代表懷運氣。相反,夢裡的死亡代表新的開始,你身上的老舊部分為新的機會騰出了空間。夢到墳墓或墓碑表示你的某個部分『死亡了』。另一種廣泛的說法是夢見死亡是你潛意識中對死亡的本能恐懼。








10. 背叛
常見的十種噩夢及含義如果你夢到你重要的那個他出軌了,這並不意味著你的潛意識發現了什麼蛛絲馬跡。夢到被朋友背叛或被朋友背後捅刀表現出來的是被拋棄和疏遠。如果你生活中常常擔心被背叛,那麼你潛意識也會捕捉到這些資訊在夢裡傳達給你。

癌細胞如何變回正常的細胞?


癌症的主因~超級中毒+組織缺氧+憂傷

就超級中毒而言,例如吃入含重金屬食品,因為重金屬太重,血液搬不動,就留在組織中,而細胞遇到入侵的外來物(重金屬),就會扭曲地團團圍住而形成腫瘤(癌症)!

癌細胞就是扭扭曲曲皺皺縮縮的細胞,藉由

  1. 樂觀:例如和志同道合登山隊登山大家談天說地嘻嘻哈哈。
  2. 補氧:登山會喘氣且滿身流汗乃最佳的補氧及排毒運動,藉由灌氧,皺縮的細胞癌可像氣球打氧一樣,膨脹回來,成為正常細胞。
  3. 偏素食:五榖雜糧加蔬菜可改成鹼性體質及排毒。


即可將癌細胞變回成正常圓潤的細胞!

癌症(Cancer)正如其拉丁字頭「蟹」(Cancri)的意思所指,稍不注意,便不聲不響、致人於死地橫行。一生中每四個人就有一個人可能得癌,過去十年,台灣三十至五十九歲的壯年得癌人數成長81%,但40%的癌症是可以預防的。然而在第三期的癌症之後,如從前法務部長陳定南、舞蹈家羅曼菲、王文洋的妻子陳靜文、電影導演楊德昌、到鴻海準董事長郭台成,一顆顆舞台上的明星,在正要大放光芒時,因癌倒下。

其實每人每天均會產生七八千個癌細胞,尤其在焦慮、憤怒及壓力下,癌細胞大增,放在人體內某部位的潘朵拉盒中;若在愉快的心情下,以氧氣灌滿皺縮的癌細胞使之膨脹,多吃抗癌食物即可天天修護皺皺的癌細胞變回成正常圓潤的細胞,在第三期的癌症之前,均能康復。


A.抗癌食物:

檸檬(破壞12種癌細胞:包括結腸癌、乳腺癌、前列腺癌、肺癌和胰腺癌…)、地瓜(排毒最佳)、大蒜(治胃癌)、黃豆(治子宮頸癌)、金針菇(治子宮頸癌)、菜花(治胰腺癌)、菠菜(治肺癌)、茭白(治腸癌)、海帶(治乳腺癌)、蘆筍(治皮膚癌)、花椰菜(治膀胱癌)、毛豆(治乳癌)、蔓越莓(治乳癌)、開心果(防肺癌)、熟番茄(治攝護腺癌)、蘑菇(治肝癌,但含重金屬傷腎,每月最多可以吃 200g )、

甜菜根、胡蘿蔔、優格、蘋果、綠藻、葡萄、香蕉、奇異果、鳳梨、草莓、綠茶、十榖米(治直腸癌:糙米、黑糯米、小米、小麥、蕎麥、芡實、燕麥、蓮子、麥片和紅薏仁)、白芝麻、亞麻子、老薑、枸杞、玉米、杏仁、黑芝麻、南瓜子。

請大家多吃含有這些有效成份的食物,讓身體內蠢蠢欲動的癌細胞多多睡覺。

1.咖哩(抗癌成份是..「薑黃素」)

2.辣椒(抗癌成份是..「辣椒素」)

3.薑(抗癌成份是..「薑油」)

4.綠茶(抗癌成份是..「兒茶素」)

5.大豆(抗癌成份是..「異黃酮」)

6.蕃茄(抗癌成份是..「茄紅素」)

7.葡萄(抗癌成份是..「白黎蘆醇」)

8.大蒜(抗癌成份是..「硫化物」)

9.高麗菜(抗癌成份是..「??」)

10.花椰菜(抗癌成份是..「硫化物」)


B.以氧氣灌滿:

人坐在椅子上時, 每次呼吸進的空氣才半公升,只用了肺臟的十二分之一,李豐說,「就像一個人有一棟十二個房間的房子,可是每天忙碌出外工作,回到家裡來,就只用到臥室。」要用到肺臟的每一個部分(提供充分的氧氣),唯一的方法就是在空氣好的地方勤加運動喘氣(例如爬山)。


C. 愉快的心情

前台大醫學院博士班第一名畢業的台大名醫,在用核磁共振掃瞄器檢查完他的病人後,他看機器還是開著,於是對準自己的肝臟來順便替自己做個掃瞄,結果發現他的肝臟中生有一個腫瘤(潘朵拉的盒子被打開),於是在驚嚇之餘很自然的按照西醫的一般程序做切片與其他化療等,結果無法心情放輕鬆, 只活三個月,他就過逝了。我在彰中同學的哥哥念台大醫學系五年級讀到肺癌篇時,發現他咳嗽的情形似肺癌,檢查果然是肺癌(打開潘朵拉盒),治療半年就英年早逝了。

事實上,即使打開了潘朵拉盒,像前101董事長陳敏薰、歸化台灣籍的律師文魯彬(肺癌)、30多年前得絕症淋巴癌的台大李豊 醫師及罹患3期肺癌,開刀時發現腫瘤已轉移,被宣告只剩幾個月生命的吳永志醫師均採用前述三要訣治癌成功,其中最重要的仍在愉快的心情。

罹患3期肺癌的吳永志醫師採用生機飲食(吃90%全生和10%煮熟的食物),他每天喝6大杯以蕃茄、胡蘿蔔、紅色甜菜根為主打成的 500cc 蔬果汁,以大量蔬果類為主食,可以強化免疫系統,1天排便3次,改變飲食及生活作息才半年,腫瘤即消失無蹤。吳永志說,以每分鐘3萬轉以上的果汁機打汁即可將蔬果的纖維和種子裡所含有「植物生化素」牽釋出,可抗氧化、消除自由基。

他每天早上喝兩杯蔬果汁當早餐,午餐前一小時再喝一杯,中午則吃蕃茄、胡蘿蔔、苜蓿芽等作蔬菜沙拉。

前行政院大陸委員會主委蘇起透露,一九九一年健檢時發現 八公分大的肝癌,也是由他的主播夫人陳月卿用每分鐘3萬轉以上的果汁機打出植物生化素,神奇地治好蘇起的肝癌。


台大病理科醫生李豐 女士 罹患過淋巴癌。同病的,或輾轉病榻,或早死了;她卻能夠好好地活著。

她的秘訣就是:她天天爬山(登山喘氣是最佳的補氧運動)及讀佛經-

其意義在於不要煩惱。

反之,像我的好友在精神上遭受重大打擊後,就患了淋巴腺癌,在台大醫院折磨了生命最後的11個月,非常不幸!另一例,舍妹一向節衣縮食,前陣子被倒了500多萬元,頓時痛不欲生(得癌之前奏),後來悟出佛教因果論,認為可能是上輩子欠他的,現世還他也是應該的,如此一來,她從痛苦深淵爬出,現在常emil笑料給我。

她有兩段名言:「 人在高興時,細胞很圓潤,就像十八歲的年輕人;人在生氣時,細胞就像八十歲的老頭,皺皺縮縮的!

-(癌細胞就是扭扭曲曲皺皺縮縮的,五榖雜糧加蔬菜、運動(氧)加樂觀,即可將癌細胞回成正常圓潤的細胞)。

而發生在英國倫敦的一對夫妻,兩人同時去做年度體檢,太太被告知得到乳癌,壽命只有一年,先生被告知得到攝護腺癌,同時有三條心臟主動脈血管阻塞了,壽命也只剩下一年,二人經過討論後決定什麼都不做,再也不要聽到西醫說什麼病了,他們在一張白紙上寫下在這一年中他們將完全的五十件事,於是他們賣掉僅有的住家,拿了錢去做環遊世界的旅行,因為這是他們第一件想要做的事,於是高興的起程,經過半年的各地旅遊後又再回到倫敦後因為身體感覺很好,於是再回到同一位醫師那去檢查,結果醫師驚訝的發現二人的癌症已經消失了,同時丈夫的動脈血管阻塞也好了,這個結果讓醫師都無法明了為什麼會這樣呢!

前中華開發金控董事長陳敏薰,在場演講中首度透露生活秘辛。陳敏薰說,多年前莫名其妙生了一場病,是一種癌症,連學醫的媽媽都認為絕望了,一剎那「什麼都帶不走」,改變了她的一生,讓她體會到簡單生活的可貴。她認為:

"金也空,銀也空,死後何曾在手中。

妻也空,子也空,黃泉路上不相逢。

田也空,地也空,換過多少主人翁。

名也空,利也空,轉眼荒郊土一封。

不会游泳的看

蛙泳

蛙泳配合有一個順口溜,在講解蛙泳動作要領之前先介紹給大家:“劃手腿不動,收手再收腿,先伸胳膊後蹬腿,併攏伸直漂一會兒。”從順口溜中可以看到,手的動作是先於腿的動作。一定要在收手後再收腿,伸手後再蹬腿。 '



臂部動作:

1、外劃。雙手前伸,手掌傾斜大約45度(小拇指朝上)。雙手同時向外、後方劃,繼而屈臂向後、向下方劃。

2、內劃。掌心由外轉向內,手帶動小 臂加速內劃,手由下向上並在胸前併攏(手高肘低、肘在肩下),前伸。

3、前伸。雙手向前伸(肘關節伸直)。 要提醒大家注意的是:外劃是放鬆的,內劃 是用力的、加速完成的、前伸是積極的。



1、蛙泳的完整配合動作:雙手外劃時抬頭換氣,雙手內劃時收腿低頭稍憋氣,雙手前伸過頭時蹬腿吐氣。


腿部動作:

1.收腿:屈膝收腿,腳跟向臀部靠近,小腿要躲在大腿後面慢收腿,這樣可以減少阻力。收腿結束時,兩膝與肩同寬,小腿與水面垂直,腳牚在水面附近。

2,翻腳:兩腳距離大於兩膝距離,兩腳外翻,腳尖朝外,腳牚朝天,小腿和腳內側對準水,像英文字母“W”。

3.夾蹬水:實際上是腿伸直的過程(屈髖、伸膝), 由腰腹和大腿同時發力,以小腿和腳內側同時蹬夾水,先是向外、向後、向下,然後是向內、向上方蹬水, 就像畫半個圓圈。 向外蹬水和向內夾水是連續完成的,也就是連蹬帶夾。蹬夾水完成時雙腿併攏伸直,雙腳內轉,腳尖相對。蹬水的速度不要過猛,要由慢到快地加速蹬水,兩條腿將 近伸直併攏的時候蹬水速度最快。

4.停:雙腿併攏伸直後在一個短暫的滑行(1-2秒)。-


自由泳

游泳是全身運動,任 何一個部位的活動都離不開全身的協調配合。從表面上看,自由泳依靠劃水和打腿產生推進力,實際上,軀幹的作用也不能忽視。首先,軀幹 應保持一定的緊張度,腰部如果鬆軟,整個人就像一攤泥一樣。其次,身體的轉動能夠有效地發揮軀幹部大肌肉群的力量,減少阻力,提高工作效果。-  自由泳的完整配合有多種形式。一般常見的是每劃水2次,打水6次,呼吸1次。 '



1、手的入水點在肩的延長線和身體中線之間,以大拇指領先,斜插入水。

2、入水後,手、肘、肩繼續前伸,使手臂伸展。隨著身體的轉動,屈腕、屈肘,手臂向 外、後方抓水; 手下劃到最低點後,旋轉手臂向內、上、後方劃水,保持高肘屈臂的劃水姿勢。

3、手臂與水平面垂直時,經手領先,加速推水,手臂轉為向外、向 上和身後劃水直到大腿側,提肘出水。 4、出水後,手臂自然、放鬆地經空中向前移臂,保持高肘姿勢。然後手在肩前領先入水,開始下一個動作。



1、手臂在水下成曲線劃水路線,從側面看,手相對於身體的劃水軌跡為“S”形。

2、自由泳兩臂配合有前交叉配合、中交叉配合、和後交叉配合3種基本形式。本圖為前交叉形式,為初學者比較容易掌握的方式。-


單臂打水劃臂動作是初學者應該重點練習的動作。如此圖,左臂劃水,那麼可以右臂扶板。一般腿打水10產次左右,手臂劃水一次。掌握到一定程度的時候可以加上呼吸練習。具體組數以及練習方法,我們會在教學中詳細介紹。 腿部鞭狀打水:-  

1、打腿動作從髖部開始發力,大腿帶動小腿,做鞭狀打水動作。

2、向 上打水腿從直到彎。以直腿開始向上打,腳接近水面時屈膝,小腿上抬,使腳牚露出水面後向下打水。開始可直腿打水,但腿略放鬆,不要僵硬,在水的壓力下腿會 自然彎曲。向下打水前膝關節彎曲角度約130-160度,打水幅度約為30-40釐米。打水時要繃腳(芭蕾腳),不要勾腳。

仰泳

1、臂劃水時,出水以大拇指領先,移臂時手臂與水面垂直,上臂貼近耳朵。移臂過程中手臂旋轉,入水時小拇指領先插入水中。

2、如果以頭的位置為鐘錶12 點,兩手的入水點在11點和1點的位置。手入水後先直臂下劃。

3、兩臂劃水應與身體轉動協調配合,兩肩不斷形成位置差。

4、兩臂劃水配合採用中交叉方式, 即兩臂始終處於相反的位置,一臂劃水時,另一臂移臂。

5、頭部保持穩定沒有左右擺動。 '-



1、呼吸雖然不受限制,但最好採用有節奏的呼吸方式,或以固定在一臂移臂時吸氣。畢竟劃水以及身體在水中行進時會有波浪及水花。隨意呼吸易嗆水。

2、保持 水準的身體姿勢,軀幹和肩隨手臂動作圍繞縱軸轉動,始終有一肩不露出水面。

3、一般每劃水2次,腿打水6次,呼吸1次。-  4、兩腿交替做鞭狀上下打水。向上 打水要快而有力,腳略內旋並繃直,向下打水時腿和腳自然放鬆。


1、移臂時手臂緊貼身體不能太寬。

2、移臂時如果手臂易彎曲,則可暫時用小拇指領先出水,養成直臂出水的習慣以後再用大拇指領先出水。

3、身體始終保持伸展、正直、幾乎水準地仰臥於水面,好像平躺在床上,頭下有一隻矮枕頭。


建議:仰泳腿要體會大腿用力,上抬與下壓都要有,體會大腿帶動小腿的感覺。-


蝶泳


1、蝶泳的手入水點在兩肩的延長線上,以大拇指領先,斜插入水。

2、入水後,肩、肘前伸,兩手沿曲線向外、後、下方抓水。兩手分開到肩寬時,屈肘,加速劃 水。

3、兩手分開到達到最大寬度後,手臂轉為向內、向上和向後劃水,手臂上抬時保持高肘屈臂。兩手在胸下或腹下時,手之間的距離最近。

4、呼吸與劃水的配 合也是蝶泳技術的關鍵。手臂結束向內劃水時,頭露出水面吸氣,移臂時頭還原入水。記住兩個“之前”,即頭在手出水前出水,在手入水前入水。







1、蝶泳雙手劃水兩手距離接近最近時,手臂劃水的方向再一次改變,轉為向外、向上和向後劃水,直至出水。

2、劃水出水後,手臂在肩的帶動下經空中向前移 臂,準備入水、移臂一般以低、平、放鬆的姿勢從兩側前移。-  3、蝶泳的身體姿勢掌握比較難,同時鞭狀打水也不易掌握。在蝶泳學習的時候,我們會有專門的分解 練習讓您逐步掌握運作。



1、蝶泳的劃水路線一般為“鑰匙孔”形,指兩手在胸下或腹下時的距離最近,這種前後劃水路線比較均勻。

2、注意蝶泳的四肢動作是雙臂、雙腿同時協調發力。
