Cancer Cure? Asparagus!
I received an email worth reading. It is about asparagus and its role in defeating cancer. Here goes:
Several years ago, a man seeking asparagus for a friend who had cancer. He gave me a photocopied copy of an article entitled `Asparagus for Cancer’ printed in Cancer News Journal, December 1979.
I will share it here, just as it was shared with me: ‘I am a biochemist, and have specialized in the relation of diet to health for over 50 years. Several years ago, I learned of the discovery of Richard R. Vensal, D.D.S. that asparagus might cure cancer.
Since then, I have worked with him on his project. We have accumulated a number of favorable case histories.
Here are a few examples:
Case No. 1, A man with an almost hopeless case of Hodgkin’s disease (cancer of the lymph glands) who was completely incapacitated. Within 1 year of starting the asparagus therapy, his doctors were unable to detect any signs of cancer, and he was back on a schedule of strenuous exercise.
Case No. 2, a successful businessman 68 years old who suffered from cancer of the bladder for 16 years. After years of medical treatments, including radiation without improvement, he went on asparagus. Within 3 months, examinations revealed that his bladder tumor had disappeared and that his kidneys were normal.
Case No. 3, a man who had lung cancer. On March 5th 1971 , he was put on the operating table where they found lung cancer so widely spread that it was inoperable. The surgeon sewed him up and declared his case hopeless. On April 5th he heard about the asparagus therapy and immediately started taking it.By August, x-ray pictures revealed that all signs of the cancer had disappeared. He is back at his regular business routine.
Case No. 4, a woman who was troubled for a number of years with skin cancer. She finally developed different skin cancers which were diagnosed by asking specialist as advanced. Within 3 months after starting on asparagus, her skin specialist said that her skin looked fine and no more skin lesions. This woman reported that the asparagus therapy also cured her kidney disease, which started in 1949. She had over 10 operations for kidney stones, and was receiving government disability payments for an inoperable, terminal, kidney condition. She attributes the cure of this kidney trouble entirely to the asparagus.
I was not surprised at this result as ` The elements of materia medica ‘, edited in 1854 by a Professor at the University of Pennsylvania stated that asparagus was used as a popular remedy for kidney stones. He even referred to experiments in 1739 on the power of asparagus in dissolving stones.
We would have other case histories, but the medical establishment has interfered with our obtaining some of the records. I am therefore appealing to readers to spread this good news and help us to gather a large number of case histories that will overwhelm the medical skeptics about this unbelievably simple and natural remedy. For the treatment, asparagus should be cooked before using , and therefore canned asparagus is just as good as fresh.
I have corresponded with the two leading canners of asparagus, Giant Giant and Stokely, and I am satisfied that these brands contain no pesticides or preservatives.
Place the cooked asparagus in a blender and liquefy to make a puree, and store in the refrigerator. Give the patient 4 full tablespoons twice daily , morning and evening.
Patients usually show some improvement in 2-4 weeks. It can be diluted with water and used as a cold or hot drink. This suggested dosage is based on present experience, but certainly larger amounts can do no harm and may be needed in some cases.
As a biochemist I am convinced of the old saying that `what cures can prevent’. Based on this theory, my wife and I have been using asparagus puree as a beverage with our meals.
We take 2 tablespoons diluted in water to suit our taste with breakfast and with dinner. I take mine hot and my wife prefers hers cold. For years, we have made it a practice to have blood surveys taken as part of our regular checkups.
The last blood survey, taken by a medical doctor who specializes in the nutritional approach to health, showed substantial improvements in all categories over the last one, and we can attribute these improvements to nothing but the asparagus drink.
As a biochemist, I have made an extensive study of all aspects of cancer, and all of the proposed cures. As a result, I am convinced that asparagus fits in better with the latest theories about cancer. Asparagus contains a good supply of protein called histones, which are believed to be active in controlling cell growth. For that reason, I believe asparagus can be said to contain a substance that I call cell growth normalizer. That accounts for its action on cancer and inacting as a general body tonic.
In any event, regardless of theory, asparagus used as we suggest is a harmless substance.
The FDA cannot prevent you from using it and it may do you much good. It has been reported by the US National Cancer Institute that asparagus is the highest tested food containing glutathione , which is considered one of the body’s most potent anticarcinogens and antioxidants.
Phaw and I
I received a comment some days back asking why I always used the 3rd person view when publishing posts in my blog. This got me thinking and from now on I will be interchanging between the 3rd and 1st person view, Phaw and I.

Plagiarism?
Sifting thru various reports in the internet and physical newspapers, Phaw noticed something common in all of them. Some reports had the word “AP” at the end. Upon going further, he noticed that some reports in one newspaper were also found in other newspapers(physical or online…) word per word! Aha, plagiarism! Fortunately, not :).
Phaw did some research on the internet and found out that this is legally possible. The “AP” tag was the clue. AP or Associated Press is an American News Agency that sort of “rents” their stories or reports for a fee. Here is their description based from wikipedia:
The Associated Press (AP), is an American news agency. The AP is a cooperative owned by its contributing newspapers, radio and television stations in the United States, which both contribute stories to the AP and use material written by its staffers. Many newspapers and broadcasters outside the United States are AP subscribers, paying a fee to use AP material without being contributive members of the cooperative.
So ends the case of plagiarism.
How to Withdraw Money from Paypal in the Philippines
Phaw was looking for a bank that he can transact with and open a savings account and took Unionbank as an option. This became an option because he already had an account with Unionbank, thru the EON visa card. He used this card before to be able to send and receive payments for one of his first online business ventures(the .WS domain networking business…).
He searched the internet to further research on Unionbank accounts and to his pleasant surprise, Unionbank cardholders can now withdraw funds from their Paypal account thru their Unionbank account! This is good news for Phaw since there are affiliate programs out there that send payments thru Paypal. However, this is neither good or bad news for those who earn thru Adsense since Google doesn’t send payments thru Paypal 
(this might have something to do with Google having their own system call the GoogleCheckout…).
But this is certainly good news for those affiliate marketers in the Philippines who receive their payments thru Paypal! This would also motivate those Filipino affiliate marketers who hesitate to promote programs that only pay thru Paypal. The benefits that Phaw sees for affiliate marketers in the Philippines are:
- Receiving payment for affiliate program transactions would be faster
- E-commerce(thru affiliate marketing) participation might develop further thus giving Filipinos another source of income
Well, in a nutshell, this is how the Paypal-Unionbank would work for affiliate marketers:
- Open a Unionbank account(either EON or E-wallet accounts…)
- Enroll the Unionbank account to online banking
- Open a Paypal account (for those without Paypal yet of course)
- Add the Unionbank account to the list of banks Paypal can transact with
- Withdraw money from Paypal via Unionbank
To know the detail by detail step of this, you can check the Unionbank website itself: Unionbank-Paypal.

Gmail for Free!
Phaw still has 99 gmail accounts to give away for free! If you want your own cooool Gmail account, just post your email address in the comments section and I will invite you for a free Gmail account!!
With all its cool and oh so helpful features, why is Gmail free? The same reason Yahoo mail is free(or at least a portion of it…). Both parties want want and need a potential customer base stemming from those free email accounts. It would go something like this, Google gives free email then email subscriber uses email, then the user sees other cool Google products(which are not free), then user thinks that since I am using gmail for free and the other Google products are cool and useful, why not try and use it? And that is money in the pocket for Google.
But Phaw believes that Google is really deserving money for all their effort. In fact, Phaw is a fan of Google products! Google has come up with many products which are not only cool but unique and useful. There is Google Suggest which helps googlers find relative search terms while typing and also the Google Docs which you can access even in the Antartic region(that was overated hehe…) just to name a few. The point is Google products are useful to our everyday life.
Phaw doesn’t know why he is promoting Google but Phaw guesses that it is because he likes Google products 
. To wrap-up, if anyone needs a free Gmail account, just send me a message or post your needs thru the comments section.
Ciao!

Smart 3G phone is a smarter choice than Smart Bro Prepaid
Phaw recently just moved in into California Garden Square as a result of getting tired of going back and forth from Laguna to Boni and back. This prompted him to find a way to get an internet connection so that he could still continue being online to manage his online business and of course to blog =P.
He asked one of his housemates how he connects to the internet and he said that he uses his 3G phone as a modem to connect to the internet via the Smart network.
“That’s cool!” Phaw exclaims.
But there is also another Smart network service that is being advertised all over the country. This is the Smart Bro Prepaid. Here is a brief description of the service from Smart and Phaw quotes:
Smart BRO brings you another exciting product, Smart BRO Prepaid that allows you to surf the net anywhere there’s a PC! Absolutely no Monthly Service Fee since it’s prepaid!
With the Smart BRO USB Modem (a small, palm-sized device) that comes with every application, you get instant connection to the internet just by plugging it to your computer.
Phaw went to a Smart Wireless Center to inquire of this service and asked how he could get one. First, he asked for the initial cost to get connected. As stated by the customer service rep, you would need to pay Php4,500 as initial cost for the modem and this price would also include a Php30 free load. Next, Phaw inquired about the rates as shown below:
So, that is Php20 per hour. It’s like going to an internet cafe to surf the internet. The rep also mentioned it is best that you have a 3G signal at your area to enjoy the full benefits of the service.
Now, how is having a 3G phone used as a modem better than getting this service that comes with a dedicated modem? Basically the only difference between the two ways of connecting to the internet is the modem used. The rates are the same(Php20/hour) but the Smart Bro prepaid modem uses 3G signal to get data(as mentioned by the rep). That means if you do not have a 3G signal in your area then getting a Smart Bro prepaid kit is a definite NO because you won’t have any internet connection.
However, if you buy a 3G-enabled phone, it is way more worth it for your money because when you are not using the phone as a modem, you can use it as a normal cellphone! Additionally, if you don’t have 3G signal in your area, it would use GPRS to transfer data(though at a slower rate). Can the smartbro prepaid modem do that? Phaw doesn’t think so.
If you already have a 3G phone, then you needn’t cash-out Php4,500 just to get the kit. All you need to do is buy a Smart sim card to avail of the 3G services they offer.
Thus, getting a Smart 3G phone and using it as a modem to connect to the internet is better because:
- It is a better value for your money
- It can connect to the internet even without a 3G signal

Phaw’s Review on Iron Man
Once you finish watching the movie, you would want to be Iron Man. As crazy as that sounds, it is true. Some of you would think that it is an okay movie but really you are wrong. It is a great movie. Now why is that you may ask. Though there are not much oh-so-breathtaking graphics in the movie, the combination of it’s plot and twists, and its above average quality graphics result in a movie that would leave you asking for more or wanting to watch it again. You haven’t heard of a bad review about Iron Man have you? At least Phaw hasn’t.
Iron Man a.k.a Tony Stark is a wealthy industrialist and genius inventor who was kidnapped after his weapons demonstration in Afghanistan, the “Jericho” weapon(did I get that right?). During this attack, Tony was injured by a shrapnel that almost pierces his heart were he not saved by another captive, a physicist, Ho Yinesen. Ho creates a magnetic chest plate that keeps the shrapnel from reaching Tony’s heart thus keeping him alive.
Their captors, after seeing how powerful “Jericho” was asks Tony to create the same weapon for them. Instead, Tony creates a suit using the materials he was supposed to use to make Jericho, that would eventually be his escape tool from the captors’ cave. That was the start of Tony’s being Iron Man.
Now I can go on and on with the story but that would only spoil your appetite away. So if Phaw were you, I’d stop reading this review and go straight to the cinema and watch Iron Man.
Phaw gives this movie a two thumbs up with 5 stars.

“Kwentong Langgam”
Isang nakakatawa ngunit nakakalungkot na kuwento ang nakita ni Phaw sa peyups.com. Ganito ang panimula:
May nasalubong akong pulang langgam kanina.
“O, saan ka papunta?” tanong ko.
“Dyan lang sa may kanto. Susunduin ko gerpren ko, ” sagot ng langgam.
“Pwede palang magka-gerpren ang tulad mo? Worker ant ka lang di ba? ‘Kala ko yung mga nagkaka-gerpren lang eh yung mga yumayari sa reyna nyo…”
“Aaah, dyan kayo nagkakamali. Kahit naman worker lang ranggo namin, may karapatan rin naman kaming ma-inlab,” mabilis na tugon ng langgam.
“Eh paano mo nalalaman kung sino ang gerpren mo sa daan-daang langgam na nasasalubong mo araw-araw?” muling tanong ko.
“Sus, para kang hindi MBB grad! Shempre, pheromone tsong. Actually, bawat isa sa amin ay may unique na pheromone…’kumbaga sa pabango eh signature scent ba. In fact, I’m wearing a Chanel Pheromone right now!” pa-konyong tugon ni langgam.
“A, ganun ba? Medyo na-sense ko nga. Mukhang naligo ka sa pheromone ah! O, sige, bilisan mo at baka mainip gerpren mo sa paghintay sa ‘yo sa may kanto. Mahaba-haba pa itong lalakarin mo.”
“Kaya nga eh…baka pwedeng maki-hitch sa sapatos mo?”
“No problem. Sige kapit ka lang. Mga ilang hakbang lang naman ito para sa akin eh,” tugon ko.
Kumapit si langgam sa nakalawit na sintas at umakyat sa aking sapatos. Maya-maya ng kaunti ay may natanaw nga akong naghihintay na isa pang langgam sa may kanto. Ito na nga marahil ang gerpren na naghihintay dahil nakita kong sobrang na-excite itong langgam na ngayon ay nakabitin na sa dulo ng sintas ng sapatos at handang bumaging na ala-tarzan sa direksyon ng kasintahang naghihintay.
Napasigaw na lang ako ng “Sandali!!!”, nang biglang umigkas itong si langgam at napailalim sa suwelas ng aking sapatos. Huli na ang lahat at kahit bakas ni langgam ay hindi ko makita sa sementadong kalsada. Ni impit na hiyaw ay hindi nakatakas mula sa naipit na nilalang.
Samantala, ang kasintahang langgam ay nanatiling nakatayo sa tabing kalsada habang ang hangin ay nagsimoy Chanel Pheromone. At nangilid ang luha sa aking mga mata hindi dahil sa tapang ng halimuyak na pumalaot sa hangin kundi dahil sa nasasaksihan kong pagluluksa ng isang pusong naulila.
