Quality Homecare for Elderly Loved Ones

A healthy living consciousness and advancements in modern medicines have resulted in longer life spans for the average American, resulting in a considerable increase in the Senior Citizen population. Although this means that people have more time and opportunity to spend with their elderly loved ones, however people should realize that they should prepare more to provide needed care and convenience for their loved ones.

As people grow old, they have learned to accept that their bodies are not what they used to be. Most have developed certain medical conditions that make it difficult for them to perform daily task. In Arizona, common elderly-related conditions range from vision impairments to mobility incapacities and could be as serious as Dementia and Alzheimer's. Such conditions require professional Phoenix homecare services that not only provide excellent adult care assistance, but have compassionate and friendly caregivers that treat the people they are caring for as their own family.

There are several Homecare Phoenix providers that offer such adult day care services and even convalescent care for people with certain medical conditions. Before committing to a particular Home Care Phoenix service provider, you need to choose a company that can support the specific needs of your elderly loved ones and match them with efficient and professional caregivers, nurses and physicians. You also need to look into their experience in providing well-rounded adult home care services that provides a wide selection of excellent senior living options for your elderly and provide them with an independent and comfortable lifestyle.



Live well and prosper!

Shed Those Extra Pounds with DANCERCISE at Han Wok Blue Wave

I just had one of the best lunch experiences in years yesterday. And it was Chinese cuisine!


I accepted the invitation from Mr. Jack Wong and wife Helen, fellow entrepreneurs from Wong Group of Companies to come and visit their Han Wok Chinese Restaurant at the Blue Wave Commercial Complex at D. Macapagal Avenue. I was really glad that I did. Together with Jack and Helen, we were joined by Jo Frando of Taxmaster Accounting Services, Nathaniel Torilla of Han Wok Blue Wave and Rome Sherriff Montoya of Worldnet Business Center over lunch. They were a really cool group and I had a chance to learn more about Wong Group of Companies and their world-class services.

We were served with Sautéed Squid with Bell peppers, with really tender and tasty squid with just the right touch of chili and spices. Another dish was their Chami special, one of the best pancit dish I've ever tasted. Not to be outdone was the Fried String Beans with Minced Pork that tingles the palate with just the right combination of vegetables and meat. But my favorite was the Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet, which I mistakenly thought of as pork due to the very tasty morsels that I began to lose count of calories I'm ingesting.





Well, got to shed those extra pounds after, and Han Wok is also showing us how to do just that!

Jack Wong and his staff at Han Wok have the commitment to serve Filipinos with their motto "Eat Well, Live Well". In line with this concept, they have introduced the DANCERCISE Classes every Saturday and Sunday mornings this March. Everyone is invited to participate and enjoy a dynamic, high-energy workout with a mix of aerobics, strength training and dance. After a rigorous Dancercise routine, you can all head to Han Wok Restaurant and enjoy a healthy breakfast. This is truly eating well and living well!



Live well and prosper!

The Wonders of the Lowly Eggplant


Cure cancer with EGGPLANT?!


That's C-U-R-E, not just improve -- one of today's most common and scariest cancers?

Usually in under 3 months!

Hear about the 80,000 success stories and not one case of cancer coming back...
How did this one get covered up?



(BALTIMORE, MD)

EGGPLANT! And the latest research isn't from some fly-by-night outfit that you'd be afraid to take your dog to - but the Royal London Hospital.

Virtually the entire medical press ignored this natural discovery. But one courageous M.D. broke the news - and has spent his career proving that nobody does it better than Mother Nature. Some even say he's changing modern medicine...

Could a true cancer cure with a 100% success rate get COVERED UP?

Even if it has 80,000 success stories and a 26 year track record?

Dear Health-conscious Friend:

Would you believe that an extract from eggplant could cure -- that's cure, not just improve -- the majority of non-melanoma skin cancers (squamous and basal cell cancers), usually in three months or less? This may seem like an outrageous claim, but researchers have known about these incredible results for over 20 years!

It might have remained a secret for another two decades if award-winning doctor Jonathan Wright, M.D. hadn't published the research -- and dared tell the truth: It's a cure! Just look at the proof:

'It's a cure!' -- straight from Royal London Hospital's double-blind, placebo controlled study.

Using a form of eggplant extract called BEC5, doctors treated both invasive and non-invasive non-melanoma skin cancers. The results were equal to those resulting from invasive surgery, minus the scars. And doctors concluded: 'In our view and experience, BEC5 is...safe and effective...it is a cost-effective treatment for both primary and secondary skin cancer.'

Even more importantly, follow-up research on patients who used BEC5 shows once their cancer went away, it did not recur.

But that's just the tip of the iceberg. You'll hear how careful patient records kept since the 1980's show...

Success in 80,000 cases with ZERO return of the cancer!

Over 80,000 patients have used it successfully. Microscopic analysis consistently shows death of all cancer cells. Better yet, no cancer has ever returned.

Best of all, BEC5 does not kill any healthy human cells. With microscopic precision, it selects and eliminates only the cancer cells. Healthy cells are not affected in any way by the treatment.

A major breakthrough?
You bet!

More than a million new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year alone.

Yet this same eggplant breakthrough is so safe and effective, it can even be used cosmetically -- to eradicate age spots, sun spots and 'pre-cancers' called actinic keratoses.

It's non-invasive, non-toxic and so easy to use, you can do it at home. Simple as smoothing on skin cream.

So how did our mighty medical press miss this one?

How come you never saw anything about it...not in magazines...not on TV...not even on the internet?

Because of modern medicine's 'golden rule' -- those with the gold make the rules!
And this astonishingly cheap, effective cancer cure has just one unfortunate drawback...

It threatens the pocketbooks of pharmaceutical firms, dermatology clinics and plastic surgeons. (And the eggplant lobby isn't nearly as powerful as you might imagine.)
This medical 'maverick' has been swimming against the current to pioneer natural cures the FDA has swept under the rug.

His contemporaries call him the greatest genius in alternative medicine.
In fact, they recently awarded him their discipline's highest honor for a lifetime of achievement in naturopathic medicine -- the Linus Pauling Award.

Thousands of forward-thinking doctors have sought him out for advice and guidance in seeking natural therapies for health problems that have defied drugs and conventional treatments...

And to many of his patients, he represents hope for progress in the safe treatment (or even the complete reversal) of diseases and illnesses that may have plagued them for decades -- and stumped their mainstream doctors many times over...

His name is Jonathan V. Wright, M.D. and he has made breakthrough cures and therapies that are delivering his patients -- and the patients of his disciples -- from the evils of both disease and the modern drugs that sometimes do more harm than good. In the years to come, these revelations will change medicine as we know it forever -- if the big-money drug interests and corrupt government don't succeed in quashing them first...

RECOGNIZING A STROKE

From a doctor's point of view, this story is life-saving. Let's share it with non-medical people.

Recognizing A Stroke
(a true story)


Susie is recuperating at an incredible pace for someone with a massive stroke, all because Sherry saw Susie stumble. She asked Susie the 3 questions, so simple, this literally saved Susie's life. Some angel sent it to Sherry and she did just what it said to do. Susie failed all three so 911 was called. Even though she had normal blood pressure readings and it did not appear to be a stroke as she could converse to some extent with the Paramedics, they took her to the hospital right away.

Thank God for the sense to remember the 3 steps!

Read and Learn!

Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions:

*Ask the individual to SMILE.

*Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS.

*Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE.

If he/she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher.

After discovering that a group of nonmedical volunteers could identify facial weakness, arm weakness and speech problems, researchers urged the general public to learn the three questions. They presented their conclusions at the American Stroke Association's annual meeting. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of the stroke and prevent brain damage.
