难以置信?

台灣有不少熱心捐血人興沖沖前往捐血，卻因過年大魚大肉，結果“血太油”不能用!

何謂乳糜血？
血 浆颜色呈乳白色或混浊状，那就是乳糜血，表示血液中含有高量脂肪。脂质对人体而言，就如同汽油之於汽车是重要的能量来源，脂质在体内经由脂蛋白携带至身 体各个部位，提供能量需求或储存备用。脂质的种类很多，其中以胆固醇及三酸甘油脂较为一般人所熟知。胆固醇是体内最丰富的固醇类化合物，它不但是细胞生物 膜及脂蛋白的成分，并可合成胆酸及维生素D，同时也是类固醇类激素的前趋物质，因此对於大多数的组织来说，胆固醇的供给及维持代谢平衡是十分重要的。而人 体的固醇类来源包括体内合成及由食物中摄取，但植物性食品不含胆固醇，而是植物固醇，它们不易被人体吸收，摄取过量时反而会抑制胆固醇的吸收。三酸甘油酯 是人体内含量最多的脂质类，大部分的组织都可以利用三酸甘油酯所分解的产物提供热量。

Do u know "5 a Day"?

Here are some great reasons to eat 5 portions of fruit and vegetables A DAY:
The National Cancer Institute attributes 35% of all cancer deaths in the U.S. to diets that are high in fat and low in fruit, vegetables and fiber. People who eat more fruits and vegetables may have approximately one-half the risk of cancer compared to those who do not.

1. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Virginia. Eating a diet high in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of heart disease by 20-40%. Fruits and vegetables contain antioxidants and phytochemicals, which may play a protective role against cardiovascular disease.

Telephone Credit Card Scam

Note, the callers do not ask for your card number; THEY already have it. This information is worth reading. By understanding how the VISA & MasterCard Telephone Credit Card Scam works, you'll be better prepared to protect yourself.

What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of thecard. Don't give it to them. Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or
Master card directly for verification of their conversation.

The scam works like this: Person calling says, "This is (name), and I'm calling from the Security and Fraud Department at VISA. My Badge Number is 12460 your card has been flagged for an unusual purchase pattern, and I'm calling to verify. This would be on your VISA card which was issued by (name of bank). Did you purchase an Anti-Telemarketing Device for $497.99 from a Marketing company based in Arizona?"

When you say "No", the caller continues with, "Then we will be issuing a credit to your account. This is a company we have been watching and the charges range from $297 to $497, just under the $500 purchase pattern that flags most cards. Before your next statement, the credit will be sent to (gives you your address), is that correct?"

You say "yes". The caller continues - "I will be starting a Fraud investigation. If you have any questions, you should call the 1- 800 number listed on the back of your card (1-800-VISA) and ask for Security. You will need to refer to this Control Number. The caller then gives you a 6 digit number. "Do you need me to read it again?"

Here's the IMPORTANT part on how the scam works. The caller then says, "I need to verify you are in possession of your card ". He'll ask you to "turn your card over and look for some numbers". There are 7 numbers; the first 4 are part of your card number, the next 3 are the security Numbers'that verify you are the possessor of the card. These are the numbers you
sometimes use to make Internet purchases to prove you have the card. The caller will ask you to read the 3 numbers to him.

After you tell the caller the 3 numbers, he'll say, "That is correct, I just needed to verify that the card has not been lost or stolen, and that you still have your card. Do you have any other questions?" After you say No, the caller then thanks you and states, "Don't hesitate to call back
if you do", and hangs up.

You actually say very little, and they never ask for or tell you the card number. But after we were called on Wednesday, we called back within 20 minutes to ask a question. Are we glad we did! The REAL VISA Security Department told us it was a scam and in t he last 15 minutes a new purchase of $497.99 was charged to our card. Long story made short - we made a real fraud report and closed the VISA account. VISA is reissuing us a new number. What the scammers want is the 3-digit PIN number on the back of the card. Don't give it to them. Instead, tell them you'll call VISA or Master card directly for verification of their conversation.

The real VISA told us that they will never ask for anything on the card as they already know the information since they issued the card! If you give the scammers your 3 Digit PIN Number, you think you're receiving a credit. However, by the time you get your statement you'll see charges
for purchases you didn't make, and by then it's almost to late and/or more difficult to actually file a fraud report.

What makes this more remarkable is that on Thursday, I got a call from a "Jason Richardson of MasterCard" with a word-for-word repeat of the VISA scam. This time I didn't let him finish. I hung up! We filed a Police> report, as instructed by VISA. The police said they are taking several
of these reports daily! They also urged us to tell everybody we know that this scam is happening.

My girlfriend was "swindled" of her paid petrol at the Taman Puchong

Email again!

My girlfriend was "swindled" of her paid petrol at the Taman Puchong Prima Station.

The modus operandi:

2 Guys at the station, 1 waiting near the payment counter, 1 holding two empty tanks waiting nearby the pumpstation.
While my girlfriend moved towards the payment counter, the guy near the payment counter unintentionally cut her queue and made a minimum payment
at the counter (eg; Rm5). After paying, knowing which pump station my girlfriend came from, he quickly signalled his friend with the empty tanks to go to the pump station. When my girlfriend paid, the cashier activated the pump for the paid amount. Before she could walk back to her car, the guy has already started filling up the petrol at my gf's pump station.

When she asked what he was doing, he simply showed her the receipt saying that he has paid. Not knowing what was going on, she just waited for him to finish. The meter showed the exact amount that she has paid. She realised something was amissed. When she lift the pump for her turn, no petrol came out. The guy has swindled her paid petrol. Eventually she found out that the guy paid RM5 for another pump, and used her's which she paid RM50 instead.

She complained to the petrol attendant but that guy just turned a deaf ear, saying it was not his fault and asked my gf to chase after that 2 guys! What the heck?? Is that how you trained your staff to be helpful to your customers?!! It's giving a bad image to your station. He kept on
saying that he would lose if he gave her back what she paid. Then who's paying back what she lost?? After 30mins of argument and with the help of other customers and asking to see the CCTV, the attendant finally gave in.

I've already complained to the Petronas via their website, not sure whether they are going to do anything about it until something really bad happen!

Luckily she her car was locked and not robbed of her valuables by the guy waiting at the pump. REMEMBER to always lock your car eventhough you are away for a second.

Pass this on.

Drinking cold water after meal = Cancer !

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal.

However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion.

Once this "sludge" reacted with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer.

It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

I do not how true is it but beaware!

Car Robbery Tactic!

I left the office EB1 tower, Cyberjaya at around 5:30pm. After driving for a short distance, before the Lim Kok Wing corner, I heard some kind of sound from the car. Initially, I thought the sound was from another vehicle driving along side with me but when I switched off my loud music, I could hear it louder and it was actually coming from my car. As I hated to stop to inspect, thanks to all the scary stories that I heard about the consequences of stopping to check the car out and ended up being robbed, so I continued driving, praying hard that the car could go on the distance back to my place in Petaling Jaya.

After driving past the smarttag booth (toll towards Puchong) the noise was getting real loud and with some wobbling movements. By then, I decided that I really had to stop as I suspected that I had gotten a flat tyre. I turned into some shops area and got down. In a split second I looked down to see the 4 tyres but none of the tyres were flat and I quickly continued on with the journey, feeling more puzzled. I continued to drive slowly for the next 10 km and just when I went up the fly-over towards the Sunway toll (after IOI Mall), my car was out of control, wobbling badly. I had to control the steering wheel and braked real hard and finally brought the car to a stop. Thank God, I managed to bring the car to the left lane but almost being knocked from behind due to the sudden halt. I put on my hazard light and tried to start moving again... but the car gave such a loud grinding sound that I decided not to.

I immediately called my mechanic to arrange for a tow truck. I locked all doors and remained seated and just prayed hard. Within minutes, the LDP tow truck and the LDP peronda guy on the bike came to me and asked me what had caused my car to stop. They had to tow my car to a safer place (petrol station next to Sunway toll) while waiting for my own tow truck to arrive.

When we were at the petrol station, the guys and my tow truck driver asked me how I could drive the car with no nuts fastened to the left back tyre. We found that all 6 nuts on the tyre rim had gone missing and my tyre was falling off. Finally, the car was towed to the mechanic shop and the mechanic told me that for sure the nuts on the tyre rim were loosened on purpose as it was impossible to have loose nuts on the tyres. He told me that it was a very common tactic now used by the bad guys. They will loosen some of the nuts and then pounce on the victim to rob them, as soon as the driver stops to check out the car.

I made a police report and apparently, there were 2 reported cases about tyres problem... whereby one car had 4 tyres missing and the other car with 2 tyres missing.. The police said probably these people were after my tyres but did not manage to remove any or using this cruel way to rob the driver.

Although I was badly shaken and shocked... I really thanked God that I was safe and just had to repair the crooked tyre disc and replaced the missing nuts. It was really a miracle to be able to drive the car for the next 10km without a flying tyre, which may have caused a nasty accident along the way. Glory indeed to GOD for his protection!

Please pass this around to warn others too...

New king of Breast Cancer

Another email from friends:

I checked this out on the urban myth site, and it is indeed true. It affects less than 1% of all breast cancer cases, but because it is so rare, many doctors don't recognize it as cancer. It is not a 'new' type of cancer, just rare.

wishing everyone a healthy new year

New kind of Breast Cancer - DO NOT DELETE

Please forward to all of the women in your lives -- Mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts, friends, etc.

In November, a rare kind of breast cancer was found. A lady developed a rash on her breast, similar to that of young mothers who are nursing.
Because her mammogram had been clear, the doctor treated her with antibiotics for infections. After 2 rounds, it continued to get worse, so her doctor sent her for another mammogram. This time it showed a mass.

A biopsy found a fast growing malignancy. Chemo was started in order to shrink the growth; then a mastectomy was performed; then a full round of Chemo; then radiation. After about 9 months of intense treatment, she was given a clean bill of health.

She had one year of living each day to its fullest! Then the cancer returned to the liver area. She took 4 treatments and decided that she wanted quality of life, not the after effects of Chemo. She had 5 great months and she planned each detail of the final days. After a few days of needing morphine, she died. She left this message to be delivered to women everywhere.

Women, PLEASE be alert to anything that is not normal, and be persistent in getting help as soon as possible.

Paget's Disease: This is a rare form of breast cancer, and is on the outside of the breast, on the nipple and aureole. It appeared as a rash, which later became a lesion with a crusty outer edge. I would not have ever suspected it to be breast cancer but it was. My nipple never seemed any different to me, but the rash bothered me, so I went to the doctor for that. Sometimes, it itched and was sore, but other than that it didn't bother me. It was just ugly and a nuisance, and could not be cleared up with all the creams prescribed by my doctor and dermatologist for the dermatitis on my eyes just prior to this outbreak.

They seemed a little concerned but did not warn me it could be cancerous. Now, I suspect not many women out there know a lesion or rash on the nipple or aureole can be breast cancer. Mine started out as a single red pimple on the aureole.

One of the biggest problems with Paget's disease of the nipple is that the symptoms appear to be harmless. It is frequently thought to be a skin inflammation or infection, leading to unfortunate delays in detection and care. What are the symptoms?

1. A persistent redness, oozing, and crusting of your nipple causing it to itch and burn. (As I stated, mine did not itch or burn much, and had no oozing I was aware of, but it did have a crust along the outer edge on one side.)

2. A sore on your nipple that will not heal. (Mine was on the aureole area with a whitish thick looking area in center of nipple).

3. Usually only one nipple is effected. How is it diagnosed? Your doctor will do a physical exam and should suggest having a mammogram of both breasts, done immediately. Even though the redness, oozing and crusting closely resemble dermatitis (inflammation of the skin), your doctor should suspect cancer if the sore is only on one breast. Your doctor should order a biopsy of your sore to confirm what is going on.

This message should be taken seriously and passed on to as many of your relatives and friends as possible; it could save someone's life.

My breast cancer has spread and metastasized to my bones after receiving mega doses of chemotherapy, 28 treatments of radiation and taking Tamaxofin. If this had been diagnosed as breast cancer in the beginning, perhaps it would not have spread...

TO ALL READERS:
This is sad as women are not aware of Paget's disease. If, by passing this around on the e-mail, we can make others aware of it and its potential danger, we are helping women everywhere.

Please, if you can, take a moment! to forward this message to as many people as possible, especially to your family and friends. It only takes a moment, yet the results could save a life

Home Alarm Tip

In view of the increasing crime rate, here's a good tip that I got
from a friend..originated from a neighborhood watch coordinator.

"When someone is trying to get into your house, or if you hear a
noise outside your house, " keep your car keys next to your bed on
the night stand and just press the panic alarm on your car. It will
go off from almost anywhere from inside your house and it will keep
honking until your battery runs down, or until you reset it with
the button on the key chain."

A lot of burglars will cut your telephone line before breaking in
so this is a real good idea.

Could save your life.

Papaya leaf Juice - Cure for Dengue

Another email from friends:

I would like to share this interesting discovery from a classmate's son who has just recovered from dengue fever. Apparently, his son was in the critical stage at the SJMC ICU when his pallet counts drops to 15 after 15 litres of blood transfusion.

His father was so worried that he seeks another friend's recommendation and his son was saved. He confessed to me that he give his son raw juice of the papaya leaves. From a pallet count of 45 after 20 liters of blood transfusion, and after drinking the raw papaya leaf juice, his pallet count jumps instantly to 135. Even the doctors and nurses were surprised.

After the second day he was discharged. So he ask me to pass this good news around. Accordingly it is raw papaya leaves, 2pcs just cleaned and pound and squeeze with filter cloth. You will only get one tablespoon per leaf. Two tablespoons per serving daily. Do not boil or cook or rinse with hot water, it will loose its strength. Only the leafy part and no stem or sap. It is very bitter and you have to swallow it like Won Low Kat. But it works.

Papaya Juice - Cure for Dengue. You may have heard this elsewhere but if not I am glad to inform you that papaya juice is a natural cure for dengue fever. As dengue fever is rampant now, I think it's good to share this with all.

A friend of mine had dengue last year. It was a very serious situation for her as her platelet count had dropped to 28,000 after 3 days in hospital and water has started to fill up her lung. She had difficulty in breathing. She was only 32-year old. Doctor says there's no cure for dengue. We just have to wait for her body immune system to build up resistance against dengue and fight its own battle. She already had 2 blood transfusion and all of us were praying very hard as her platelet continued to drop since the first day she was admitted.

Fortunately her mother-in-law heard that papaya juice would help to reduce the fever and got some papaya leaves, pounded them and squeeze the juice out for her. The next day, her platelet count started to increase, her fever subside. We continued to feed her with papaya juice and she recovered after 3 days!!! Amazing but it's true.

It's believed one's body would be overheated when one is down with dengue and that also caused the patient to have fever. Papaya juice has cooling effect. Thus, it helps to reduce the heatiness in one's body, thus the Fever will go away. I found that it’s also good when one is having sore throat or suffering from heatiness.

Those of us staying in Subang Jaya are lucky as we can get papaya juice easily from the Penang Cendol stall in Giant! One cup is only RM1. Tomorrow I will buy a cup for a patient in Assunta and urge him to try it. Please spread the news about this as lately there are many dengue cases.

It's great if such natural cure could help to ease the sufferings of dengue patients. Furthermore it's so easily available. Just go to market and ask the makcik who sells ulam and they usually have papaya. Blend them and squeeze the juice! It's simple and miraculously effective!!

小心！
