Victims Call China's Drought a Man-Made Disaster
South China is currently experinecing servere drought, with the official economic loss totalling 19 billion yuan in March 2010. Regarding the causes of the drought, many victims content that this disaster is man-made rather than the work of the Nature. Victims from different parts of China responded to an American newspaper with the following comments:
"“Some gold mine companies took over the mountains and emptied them inside out. Trees were uprooted, and there was nothing to hold the soil. “, said Mr. Mo from the city of Wuzhou in Guangxi Province.
According to Mr Mo, the water shortage is very serious in his area, and the amount of water delivered by the authorities was not even close to being enough. There has not been even enough water for showers and laundry, let alone for farming."
"“There is a shortage of drinking water now which the authorities have not been able to resolve. They delivered tap water from the city once every few days. We have to wait in line in order to get a very limited amount. Domestic water shortage is a problem now, let alone water for farming. I have never seen such a serious drought before.”, said Mr. Mo from the city of Wuzhou in Guangxi Province.
"“The authorities did not provide any compensation to the drought victims. The cracks in the field are huge—even wild herbs cannot survive.”, said a resident in Fuyuan County of Yunnan Province.
"“Farmers had to sell their cattle cheaply because they have no water to raise them.”, said another resident in Yunnan Province.
According to the residents in Fuyuan County, they have been without tap water supply since the end of 2009, that their rationed water supply has not been steady, and that they have had to fetch water themselves from a village three miles away.
"“Each family is given four water tickets every two weeks and each ticket entitles the bearer to 100 kg (about 26 gallons) of water, which is not enough for daily use at all, especially for a large family of six or seven. So we have to fetch water from somewhere else. I haven’t taken a shower for a few months.”, said a resident in Fuyuan Country.
According to Mr. Mu from Chongqing, the climate in Chongqing has been erratic for several years and this erratic weather pattern could be a direct consequence of the Three Gorges Dam Project.
"“We have drought every year. I live in an urban area and haven’t seen any measures being taken. The peasants are the most disadvantaged group of people.”, said Mr. Mu.

How to Quit Drinking by Oil Pulling.
You can quit drinking very easily, as long as you understand drinking is bad for you and your family. What you need is a therapy called oil pulling. Oil pulling is powerful therapy for pulling toxins out of the body. The mertis of this therapy has not been fully investigated by clinical trials. However, unlike drugs, this therapy involves virtually no side effects and there is no such thing as overdose of oil pulling.
Oil pulling means rinsing the mouth with sesame or sunflower oil for 15 to 20 minutes.
During the process of oil pulling, you need to swish, suck, chomp and pull the oil through the teeth. The oil must not be swallowed.
To avoid acid reflux, which could potentially cause accidental swallowing of the oil, you should practise oil pulling on empty stomach. The best time to practise this therapy is 4 hours after meal.
After the 15-20 minute process of swishing oil, the mouth will be filled with milky white and thin foam. All the oil and saliva which remain in the mouth should be spit out immediately. According to the Dr Karach, who introduced this therapy to the western world, the milky white foam contains a lot of bacteria and toxins.
Finally, the tooth should be brushed, preferably with baking soda, and the mouth should be rinsed with clean water.
Colloidal gold will work too. According to my experience with the alcohol addicts, colloidal gold can be used to regain the conscience of a drunk person. But colloidal gold is very expensive. You probably want something inexpensive for experimental purposes.

How to Treat Insect Bites with Iodine
Many people tend to use vinegar, banana peels, white flower balm and many other so-called natural medicines to treat insect bites. While natural-occurring substances are largely harmless, they cannot disinfect the site of insect bite. They are either very expensive, or not easy to carry around all the time.
What is overlooked is iodine. Iodine can be purchased from drug stores, but iodine is not a synthetic chemical with alot of side effects. Iodine is probably the only inexpensive option which not only reduces the itching sensation around the bite areas, but also kills all the bacteria and virues carried by the biting insects. Believe it or not, iodine has been used by a doctor as a first aid treatment for snake bites. It sounds scary, isn't it?
To treat insect bites, just store bought iodine with crushed chili peppers. Apply the mixture onto the bite sites. Let the mixture sit on the bite areas for a few minutes. In general, five minutes should be enough for the iodine liquid to disinfect the bite sites. If the itching sensation reamins, reapply some more iodine to the bite sites.
Iodine is antimicrobial, while capsaicin in chili peppers is effective in reducing itching and inflammation. Together, the mixture of these two substances becomes an effective medicine against insect bites.
This method should be suitable for pet animals as well. Just CLICK HERE FOR MY ARTICLE ON IODINE TREATMENT OF INSECT BITES .
Iron and Cancer
There is growing evidence that excessive iron build-up in the body can cause cancers and other seemingly unrelated diseases. Over the past few decades, many clinical investigations have consistently proven this fact. However, many people tend to focus on nutrition intake. Most os us worry about the lack of iron rather than the toxicity of iron. The problem of iron overload in the body has been overlooked, even by the vegetarian population around the globe. The link between cholesterol and health has been the only reason which justifies a a vegetarian lifesstyle.
According to the latest research, iron becomes carcinogenic because of two mechanisms:
1/ Iron is a pro-oxidant which can induce oxidative stress and DNA damage. A study has shown that the production of free radicals is largely proportional to the level of iron in the body.
2/ Iron is a nutrient for cancer cells and some disease-causing pathogens. E. Coli, for example, is fed on iron. Iron promotes cancer cell multiplication as well as growth of some disease-causing pathogens.
For health sake, there is a need to remove the surplus iron without overly harming the red blood cells. In general, iron can be absorbed but not excreted. Women can off-load some surplus iron through their periods, but this benefit does not apply to woman after menopause. To prevent excessive build-up of iron, a vegan lifestyle is a MUST. In addition, it is important to know how to manage the excess iron stores in our bodies without using any synthetic drugs.
To minimize surplus iron which can potentially cause cancer, it is very important to stay on a pure vegan diet. Meat is the biggest contributor of free iron radicals that can be readily absorbed by the body.
There are natural occuring substances that can remove surplus iron from the body. IP6 is one of those that can be found is the bran of almost every seeds. IP6 is a chelator of mercury, lead and cadmium as well as loose iron, copper and calcium. IP6 is one of those [1, 2]. IP6 can bind with mercurous ions (Hg2+) in the presence of chloride in the body [1].
In addition, IP6 is a selective chelator that does not bind to important electrolyte minerals required for heart rhythm, including potassium, sodium or magnesium. IP6 does not chelate calcium from the bone tissues or iron from red blood cells [3]. The chelated minerals are excreted via the urinary tract [3].
Additionally, various independent studies confirm that IP5 inhibits the formation of kidney stones and cal be used as an alternative treatment of calcium kidney stones [4, 5, 6].
