Thousand thanks, next time consume with special care.

:eek:

I took a look at tongkat ali a long time ago but didn't follow up because tongkat Ali can be expensive. You will see cheaper ones being sold in Malaysia & Spore but the problem is you don't know the quality. I read somewhere that tongkat ali from Malaysia is inferior because of the pollution.

With so many small companies producing tongkat ali you have a problem identifying fakes, inferior products, ..... Can even find effective fakes products with tadalafil . http://www.hsa.gov.sg/publish/hsaportal/en/news_events/press_releases/20090/hsa_warns_against0.html

If you want the genuine stuff look here http://www.tongkatali.org/pc-index.htm

Bro, my polyclinic Dr. told me juicing is not good for Diabetic patient because when we try juicing we forget the amount of allowable fruit intake, take for example you allow to take 1 apple a day but when you make apple juice you may be juicing 3 apples.

After reading from SB about the benefits from juicing I bought a juicer, but after consulting the Dr. the juicer now become redundant, what a joke! Finally I resolve to the conventional method use my teeth to bite these fruits.

Yes I sometimes go out to eat but nowadays more likely to eat at home I don't follow a strict diet because I am not taking any medications but I try to avoid certain hawkers foods because they cause me grief. Used to like chinese rojak but after eating it, I have a bad taste, feel thirsty & I get drowsy that I need to take a nap. Same thing with economical rice, the white rice is bad for because I have type II diabetes. I notice some foods give me mild diarrhea but I think that is due to poor hygiene e.g. when eating indian rojak:o Or maybe I might be more sensitive because I don't eat out as often?.

My diet is very simple oats with maple syrup & raisins..., multi-grain rice, whole meal bread, organic eggs, veggie, & sometimes fish. The food might be monotonous but I save $ by not eating steaks, Big Macs,.... I was worried about not getting enough veggies that is why I started juicing.

I snack on things like health superfood energy bars

You may also want to look at other things like L-arganine, Pycnogenol, Yohimna, tribulus,...

To perform many parts of the body need to work together e.g L-arganine is needed by the body to make nitric oxide. I use it to help with circulation, but it also helps the little brother:smile:

...I have been against the PAP since the days I was staying in Potong Pasir because I saw what they were doing to the country.

Right, the papees did not upgrade the HDB flats in PP when CST was the MP. Considering that PP also a part of sinkapoo, the papees indeed are big bullies.

When I juice I apples I know exactly how many apples I use. I put the veggies & fruits into a bowl before washing & cutting them up what I am going to include in my juice.That is why you should have your own juicer. It lets you control what you put into the juice. If you are juicing for two, use 2 bowls & do separate juicing.

For diabetics they should be using green granny smiith apples as they have less sugar.

As you become used to green juices you can cut back on the apples & carrots. My juices are mostly greens e.g. kale, Swiss Char & celery with one apple & a small carrot.
If you have a juicer you can juice green juices that you can't find anywhere else. I've never been to a juice bar in Spore that offer Kale or Swiss Chard juice. They may also not be using organic vegetables

iHerbs only carry the reputable Canadian, European, British & US brands. I read the reviews of various products before deciding whether to get them.
In Spore you will find health store selling the same brands that you find at iHerb.

FYI, I don't think HPB tests health supplements.

I know what caused my heart attack. It was because I would drink pop from MacD & KFC almost every day. The sugars caused type II diabetes & it was the hormonal problems that caused my arteries to harden. & finally my heart attack. As people get older they will find that they have problems with being pre-diabetics or type II diabetic.


I took up juicing after reading about the Gerson Therapy. According to Charlotte Gerson the therapy has help heal Type II diabetics. My daily juices include a mix of : Kale, Swiss Chard, beet root, celery, carrots & apple. I also include flax oil in my juices. I keep the carrot & apple to a minimum because of the sugars. I also supplement with cinnamon, alpha lipoic acid, blueberry & celery seed. These help with insulin problems.

Other than that I don't take any medication. I can even eat rice but it will always come at the cost of feeling sleepy. That is why at home only have multi-grain rices or whole meal bread.

If you have heart problems you should avoid white flour, milk, normal cooking oils, sugar, anything with trans oils(margarine), msg, ... You have to adopt a basic diet of pulses, vegetable & fruits,... Sugars from fruits are not the same as simple sugars, so a little bit is ok.

If you want to reverse heart disease read this book

Johnny, where do you go to get your supplies for juicing? Would appreciate if you could share. Thank you.

don't think so too, used to send something to test they approved it without unwrapping the box


You probably had to pay a fee for the tests?
Many of the regulations in Spore are more about $ then about public safety.
There is even a regulatory board for Casinos. They call themselves CRA. The following is from their web site:

Our Mission & Vision

Ensuring that the management and operation of a casino is and remains free from criminal influence or exploitation

Ensuring that gaming in a casino is conducted honestly

Containing and controlling the potential of a casino to cause harm to minors, vulnerable persons and society at large


OUR VISION
To be the Trusted Casino Regulator, Advancing Our Mission with Pride and Integrity for a Safe Singapore

is your polyclinic DR trained in diet and nutrition?

Maybe you should see a dietitian to get a better answer.

If we juice 3 apples a day, then I agree that it is no good. The key is "moderation". Those who juice everyday drink only a small cup a day. For me, it is less than 100 ml a day but using different fruit and veg for each day.

It is troublesome but it is useful for the aged. As we age, our digestive system deteriorates and absorption efficiency drops. Juicing helps the system to absorb more nutrient from the same amount of food consumed in the normal way. It reduces the workload of the digestive system. So the dr is right if we over consume. When I started juicing, I over-consumed and could felt the bad effect immediately (especially celery) After cutting down on the quantity, I no longer need to rely on other supplement to improve my bowel.

You can select the amount of fruits to juice right? I blend one apple with other veggies. You can always add water if you feel the juice isn't enough. I think you trying to create a huge jug of pure juice right?
