Vincent Tan and his Cardiff superstitions.
http://www.themalaymailonline.com/sports/article/vincent-tan-prefers-players-with-lucky-8-in-their-birthdates
Hilarious the British media.It is demonisation
of certain people and labelling someone as
a modern Fu Manchu.
British business must expect investors to pump
in money like throwing money down the drain
to suit their cavemen instincts and whims and fancies,
when to a certain extent business entails earning your keep
and making sacrifices to reach a bigger market instead of
playing cavemen football as in the good old days.
Next they will claim that Tan is going to sell Cardiff brand
fortune cookies and chop suey and starting a Cardiff Dragons
launderette.
For the uninitiated, Bluebirds in many parts of Asia means
"Dick head" or "prick", so maybe Cardiff is proud of its
vulgar old name being a subject of ridicule in Asia.
Poor Vincent Tan , he's now stuck with a bunch of
'lanchows" who demand that he dance to their primitive tune
instead of allowing him to take them places the way of the
famous English clubs. Remember Eric Cantona?

2013 Badminton Super Series Semis-Presence of Wild Dogs and Macaques in Cheras Badminton Stadium
During the game when Wang Shi Xian played
Tai Tzu Ying,there were several wild dogs and
Macaques among the audience barking and gibbering
away during the game which took away the enjoyment
of watching good badminton.I think the KLBA should
discourage these rude beasts from invading and presiding over
events as it is hampering the progress of the country
to be a developed nation.For all you know next time in the
Malaysian Open we may be bombarded with racial slurs
or sexist remarks,things not acceptable in civilised societies.
Not sure where the Macaques came from,they are all over
Cheras because their habitat has been destroyed by
development,whilst the stray dogs could be ill-bred local natives,
indirectly venting their anger thru "apa lagi Cina mahu",or running
dogs whose ancestors are from up north who think like bananas
trying to prove their loyalty by sucking up to their dongbao and
wagging their pariah mongrel tails, or sub-human immigrants from
across the Straits thinking Cheras is Istora Senayan.
Whoever and wherever they are from hopefully we will have less
of that in future as it is annoying and is distracting the players and
audience as much as say,using flash photography.
A true badminton player and supporter,as opposed to a rude wild dog
or Macaque will respect players irrespective of their creed.
Try to imagine what badminton would be like if ever the game is
dominated by dogs and macaques.

2013 French Open badminton-top seeds withdraw
China players withdrawn from
the French Open include:
Li Xue Rui
Chen Long
Du Peng Yu
Wang Yi Han
In Li Xue Rui's case it is because
of illness contracted during the Denmark
tournament.
In the case of Chen and Du it must be a case
of taking a break after the hectic domestic schedule
and probably preparing for the China and HK circuit.
On the positive side, their absence only provides an
opportunity for other players to shine and win more prize money.
Surprisingly Wang Shi Xian was not withdrawn.Sun Yu has been
clashing too often in the first round with compatriots and this has to
be more than coincidence.Otherwise the itchy bitchy fan boys and
fan old geezers will have a field day saying" see I told you so"in case
there is a walkover in protest to this probable set-up.If this continues
Sun will never be able to move up the rankings.
If this is deliberate match fixing by organisers, then probably this
Humbugland 's Open may be in future be downgraded to GP status.

Hoyer Larsen on Gamesmanship in badminton and Hawkeye System
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/10/20/Hoyar-Larsen-Its-difficult-to-curb-gamesmanship.aspx
At least Hoyer Larsen who is a legend
who has gone against the odds himself knows what
competitive badminton is all about.
The Denmark 2013 Open also confirmed how matured
the audience there are and the importance they put on
building a positive image of their society for their continued
prosperity and well-being.
This is in contrast to the thick skinned obnoxious fan boys
and fan old men with brains baked by the tropical sun who
only moan and whine and focus on sabotaging the competition
instead instead of doing positive things like investing their limited
tax money to develop own human capital and image building instead
of ranting on and on like third world primitive tribesmen and old
ladies as they continue to slide in human development in their own
pathetic,corrupt and backward social environment.
Losers moan on and on like a broken record about unfair
competition,typical of people with a backward culture ,whilst
winners face up to adversity and take positive steps to overcome
their own shortcomings.
Most ironic of all are losers who complain about others bullying them
but unwilling to do anything about cleaning up their own filth in their
own backyards first.Equally ironic are losers who dont know who
their real friends are but continue to praise their enemies and
condemn their friends.
Boleh? It's the regional culture and mentality,stupid.

Understanding the design of modern badminton racquets
Badminton racquets have come a long way since
the age of wooden or metal racquets or metal/wood
composites.The wood or metal racquets were heavy
and stiff and required great strength and long swings
to impart power and were very slow on defence as they
were not very manueuverable because of gravity defying
heavy heads and stiff shafts and bulky heads.
Modern racquets are now made of slim,lightweight graphite
composites which offer very good aerodynamics.
Design is generally classified into 3 types :
1) Head heavy racquets for the hard hitting attacker
2) Head light racquets for the defensive players facilitating
rapid swings up and down,forwards and backwards.
3) Balanced racquets offering something in between.
Within the 3 classifications,design is also differentiated by
1) Stiffness of the shaft, affecting how players swing their
racquets,stronger ones with strong wrists preferring stiff shafts
and short swings, weaker ones preferring flexible shafts for a
"whiplash" or flyswatter effect to add power preferring longer
swings and use of more bodyweight.
2) Frame design-Frame design can also be stiff or flexible,and the
shape and weight of the frame will affect the aerodynamics of the
racquet.Ultimately the frame type influences heavily the degree of
control of the shuttle and stroke and also the racquet's
maneuverability and speed.
So,to me, when selecting a racquet, it is not just about whether it is
head heavy or head light or balanced, within these 3 classifications
there is also the sub-classification of shaft rigidity and frame design
which influences the hitting technique of the player.
Some other factors which may affect how the racquet responds are
its total weight,size of grip and the string tension.A smaller grip on a
stiff racquet for example may permit more manueverability.
Ultimately racquets are differentiated according to their degree of
power,control ,speed and maneuverability . It must be impossible
for a racquet to have all three and you gain some and lose some.
It is ridiculous to have a player very powerful but slow in defence
or unable to control his strokes.Even worse still is the player with
an ideal racquet but physically weak or with sluggish movement and
footwork.
Choosing a wrong racquet unsuited to a player's body type,technique
or condition may cause unnecessary fatigue or inefficiency .
Professional players are generally physically honed to play with any
type of racquet but preferences on racquet types may vary across
different genders and age groups.

Yonex Nanospeed 9000X badminton racquet-a gem and classic rediscovered
Picked up one from a warehouse sale after
wondering what the fuss was all about.
This model was released around 2006
as one of the pioneer Yonex lightweight
and headlight series and a quick check of
the 2007 All England revealed that half the China
team ie.the women were using it eg.Wei Yi Li,
Zhao Ting Ting,Zhang Jie Wen,Yang Wei,
Zhang Ning ,Xie Xin Fang,Huang Sui and Gao Ling.
That explains why the people who snapped up the
racquet at the sales were mainly uncles and veterans.
Surprisingly Lee Chong Wei used it in early 2006
when coached by Li Mao,but switched to a harder
racquet to match Lin Dan and Taufik power later as Li
Mao had noticed LCW's deficiency in that area.
The racquet was probably withdrawn when Yonex
collaborated with Li Ning to produce a new line of
racquets for the China team.
I have recently settled with using the Nanoray
700 RP as my standard because it is light,fast
especially in defence and manoeuvred easily,but it
lacks slightly in power and control. The Nanospeed
9000x could have been designed to overcome this
problem in power and control of the Nanospeed 7000
which preceded the Nanoray 700.
It is essentially a headlight racquet with a very stiff shaft
but has a light,resilient,slim and flexible frame, reinforced
at certain points like the old Titanium racquets to afford
stability and control.The design of the frame allows the
racquet to be speedy, manoeuvrable but gives it a bit more
in terms of power and control.So it gives defensive and
speedy players an extra bite in smashing ,dropping and
clearing as well as accuracy at the expense of a little less
speed and manoeuvrability.The manufacturer attributes
the additional power from the "elastic" titanium laced frame.
Never tried the Nanoray 9900 but it must have been an
improvement of the 9000X.
I believe the current Nanoray z Slash is actually following
this process of upgrading it from the Nanoray 700 RP or
"rough" Ti 10, just as the 9900 was an upgrade of 9000x,
and this in turn an upgrade of the Nanospeed 7000 .
So when comparing Nanoray 700 with the 9000X,
the following are my conclusions (just my opinion
and how it suits my defensive, countering ,driving,
tapping and flicking playing style)
Nanoray 700 Nanospeed 7000 Nanospeed 9000
Speed 10/10 9/10 8/10
Control 8/10 8/10 9/10
Power 9/10 7/10 9/10
Manoeuvre 10/10 9/10 8.5/10
In short it is not wrong to say that Nanotechnology is not just
marketing hype,it has made racquets lighter,slimmer,more
aerodynamic, faster, and still maintaining power.The Nanospeed
series pales in comparison with the Nanoray series,even the low
end Nanorays outperform high end Nanospeeds.
Maximum power can be achieved with many head heavy racquets
and maximum control with stiff frame Arc Saber models ,at the
expense of other advantages of course.
Manoeuvrability is a matter of whether the racquet
is flexible enough to be twisted to execute quick,deceptive
strokes using the wrist and whether the racquet is light enough
to be wielded up and down rapidly between attack and defence
without tiring out the player and still stable enough to generate
accurate placements.
Control is a matter of accuracy ,the stiffer and more stable the
frame, the better quality the shots especially at the net and placements.
Speed and power are dependent on aerodynamics, built
on Newton's ancient First Law ie. Force =Mass x Acceleration.
Pressure =Force/Area, Bending Moment and Deflection = Force x Distance
Swinging a racquet downwards is aided by gravity, dragging it upwards
is resisted by gravity.
All three racquets are essentially built for doubles play
although many are using it in singles.
The biggest drawback of the Nanospeed 9000x to me is its
poor recovery and braking effect.This means that after a big swing
downwards it takes effort and time to pull the racquet back to
position to repeat the swing or even to perform a block, unlike
the speedy Ti 10,Nanospeed 7000 or Nanoray 700. In this sense
it is no better than the head heavy racquets and the stiff frames of the
Arc Saber series.That must be the reason why this model was consigned
to the graveyard of badminton racquets,although it may suit singles play.
Or, the Elastic Titanium technology was simply shifted from the Nano
series to the Amortec. By 2008 most players except Xie Xin Fang had
adopted the Amortec series.Another glaring weakness of the 9000x is
the difficulty of playing shots after they have crossed the hitting zone and
behind the back.That is why the 'S' version with a flexible shaft was more
popular than the' X'.
The Nanospeed 7000 is basically a failed product because of its very
weak frame.Hafiz Hashim, Julianne Schenk and Wong Mew Choo
were the few who adopted it and it definitely suited their softer,
defensive styles.The 9000x seems to fit many players' expectations
ie.light, fast,manueverable,but with a stiff shaft and strong light frame
that controls the shuttle well and still imparts a lot of explosive power
for smashing and clearing.A long backswing is not required,the stiff
shaft and resilient strong frame will do all the work although a strong
wrist and elbow work is required.In this unique design the frame is
the part that provides the punch instead of the stiff shaft,which hardly
bends.
On another note,Li Ning racquets used to be built around powerful
head heavy racquets but the 3rd generation series are designed to
be softer either to accomodate "weaker" amateurs or enabling
China players to focus more on softer play expounded by
players from other countries ie. better defence,accuracy ,
racquet speed and deception. In fact,personally I find the
Nanospeed 9000x plays like a lightweight and headlight Li
Ning N90II, but faster,more flexible and a little less powerful,
exactly where Li Ning Gen III racquets are heading nowadays.
Even girls like Porntip and Busanan can use the N90 II now.
The best advice to anyone buying a racquet is to buy one only
after having tried out the model.Never depend on manufacturer's
marketing tricks or advice from other players.Change models if
the current racquet used cannot cover the weaknesses of the
player.I must have at least 10 Li Ning and Yonex racquets in
my bag,and they all play very well. I only change them to suit
the speed of shuttles used or to counter glaring weaknesses of
my opponents.
To me,playing doubles is like Volleyball, the ultimate goal is to
force opponents to give a weak return so that it can be spiked
at the net,or like football,hockey or basketball, it is about
teamwork and collaboration to set up the striker to score the
goals,doubles is not about killing the shuttles with a power smash
from the baseline, its simply too easy to defend nowadays.

Malaysia and Korea to have joint training programs in badminton
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/10/02/Malaysia-South-Korea-to-have-joint-badminton-programmes.aspx
That part about Korea emphasising on
sports science is very enlightening.
Perhaps Korea will achieve what Ng
Chin Chai, Tan Aik Mong failed to do.
That is ,slowly but surely educating the
undereducated donkeys and coconut heads
to match up to the realities of the modern
world of Technology and Science.

Sunrise Sports S.B. Yonex Warehouse Sale at AEON Cheras
What a week it was for Yonex freaks
at the Yonex warehouse sales at AEON
Taman Maluri, Kuala Lumpur.
It was a rare occasion for Yonex to
have a warehouse sales.On sale were
out of production racquets from 2008 onwards
with made in Japan models like :
Nanospeed 9000X
Nanospeed 7000,7700,6600,5500
Arc Saber 7, Z Slash, 8DX, 5 ,5DX
Titanium 7 and 5
Amortec 900
All less than Rm300 except for models like
AS Z Slash.
Also racquet bags at less than rm50 and slightly
dated shirts and shorts.
The racquets are genuine Yonex stuff made in Japan
and SP coded.They were distributed from Singapore
to Hong Kong,and the surplus now sold in Msia at prices
equivalent to that of fakes.Customers were buying some
models like the Nano 9000x by the armload and probably for
resale.
The sale ends on 6th October 2013.Go only
during off-peak hours.

Why currently some nations are more successful than others in badminton
Just reading all the muddled infantile whining in the
kiddies and mentally challenged badmintonforums on
how to create world beating individuals and teams in
the sport badminton prompts me to propose the following
hypotheses:
1) Badminton is still in its infancy as a commercial sport
and does not offer the same rewards as soccer or tennis.
It is extremely difficult for individuals or teams to be sustained
without the use of public funds.
2) China the most successful team is top not because of
its population or talent pool (players are mainly elite national
athletes ,not members of private clubs).China dominates team
events especially those that do not offer prize money because
it is willing to invest tons of public money to enhance the prestige
of its team,something most nations cannot afford to.The same is
probably true of Korea.
3) Affluent capitalist nations like Japan, Denmark and Germany can
produce individuals excelling in prize awarding open tournaments
because their private sectors can afford to sponsor and subsidise their
players who earn some prize money as well to supplement their income.
These players are true professionals.India is trying to join this club.
4) There are other nations whose governments are not rich and who
have very weak private sectors who don't sponsor sports.Malaysia,
Thailand and Indonesia are prime examples, they have big ambitions
but cannot sustain big teams but can only focus attention on a select
few individuals who dominate Opens and work hard to earn prize
money.These countries can dominate once in a while in modern times
in times of plenty when there is plenty of money to go round.
5) In the final analysis most countries have about the same talent
irrespective of their population numbers,neither is it about passion
or fighting spirit.
It is about productivity of the people that translates into their athletes,
and whether the government can afford to foot the bill or whether there
exists a private sector strong enough to sponsor the athletes to
supplement their prize money.
It is also to some extent the level of Technology of the country,whether
the people are generally disciplined, properly educated and competitive
enough to compete in the world stage.
It doesn't take a genius to deduce that the successful countries in
badminton excel in many other fields in the world because of their human
capital.
Sad to say ,the mentioned laggards in badminton,are also laggards in most
other fields.So other than economics and productivity, history and culture
also play a part in the success factors.
In the case of Malaysia current and future economic and political trends
will compel the BAM to downsize its organisation with less players and
support staff.Most of the players will be outsourced from private clubs
to represent the country in team events.
For a country that is neither here nor there in terms of Technology and
Economics the ideal blend would be a small tax-funded National
Association keeping a few loyal players and staff,supported by players
from more efficient private and productive clubs when performing national
duties like Thomas Cup.That was already in place in the early 2000s when
Malaysia had players like Ong Ewe Hock,Wong Choon Han, Lee Tsuen
Seng,James Chua, Choong Tan Fook and Lee Wan Wah,Chew Choon
Eng and Chan Chong Ming, and Roslin and Hafiz Hashim all in the same
team.Indonesia appears to have adopted this model.
Its all about money and economics,stupid.

Tan Aik Mong quits as BAM chief after just 2 weeks
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/09/24/Aik-Mong-quits-as-TMG-director.aspx
Wise decision! Now its business as usual!
Given the spite even when working for free?
There are more things in life than political badminton!
http://warisantmk.wordpress.com/2013/09/22/khairy-jamaluddin-jangan-biarkan-dap-kuasai-persatuan-badminton-malaysiabam/
Maybe the BAM has too many DAP supporters?
The main reason must be because most of the coaches have
threatened to quit. It is typical of Feudal Malaysian society
to be obsessed with face and positions and titles.Being transfered
to coach juniors is not demotion unless the perks are removed ,it
is even more challenging to teach juniors, one does not need to good to
train elites like Lee Chong Wei.
Perhaps the problem with Nerds and Geeks when they become leaders
is lack of diplomacy,the change could have been done with some explaining
and clarification instead of a take it or leave it attitude without considering
the feelings of people.In business school such heavy handedness is
considered violating a very basic management principle in dealing with
people, unless you are in the army,for example.

Malaysian Badminton in early 80s-When Tan Aik Mong was chief
During the era of Liem Swie King,Han Jian,Luan Jin,Prakash and Frost.
When Razif and Jalani won the 82 All England,when rebel Misbun caused
havoc in the BAM and quit the BAM.
Tan was preceded by Gunalan,he was chief coach in the 1984 Thomas
Cup,when England defeated Malaysia 5-0 in the Thomas Cup group match,
then Phua Ah Hua succeeded and quit in 1986, followed by Fang Kai
Xiang, Han Jian, Razif Sidek, Frost, Indra Gunawan, Yap Khim Hock the
unholy gambler and drinker,and then continued to slide with the demand
for "local" leadership.
BAM flip flop ,back to square one
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/09/23/BAM-revert-to-original-plan-with-launch-of-new-project.aspx
Looks more and more like an Umno style Sandiwara
or stage show to hide the ultimate agenda of cutting costs.
With leaders working for free but trying to bring in modern
technology and hopefully sports science to bring badminton
on par with the rest of the world.
Cutting red tape and unproductive layers of management
but still maintaining under educated coaches schooled in the
traditional mould but finally putting annoying administrators
where they rightfully belong, providing support services.
But still under the thumb of the NSC and devoid now of the
politicians cum horse traders to demand financial allocations
to share all round as in "lu tolong gua gua tolong lu".
Will this motivate the players in this day and age,that is
,leadership by example and discipline, whilst the Gen Y players
have to struggle with meagre allowances whilst their peers
graduate from Universities and start to plunge into lifelong debt
driving expensive cars and supporting trophy girlfriends and
trying to strike it as a millionaire before they reach 30,
encouraged by the generous (with other peoples' money ,
that is ) government of the day?
Take a step backwards and look at the big picture, in
recent times pockets of success were the result of technological
change that Fang Kai Xiang brought in 1987, 88 to 92 were the
efforts of a certain Santa who splurged other peoples' money to
buy talent like an oil rich sheikh during the Asian miracle and
success was brought in by Foreigners like Frost and Indra
Gunawan later.
After that during the age of the easy credit economy , all limited
resources were concentrated on one singles player and one
doubles pair to show some results to justify allocation of funds.
The rest of the limited resources were probably spent on non-
players who unlike players did not have to produce viable results.

Repairing cracked badminton racquets
If your ultra expensive Li Ning or fancy high end Yonex
develops a crack, or fissure, dont throw it away.
Racquet shops can provide a welding service to rejoin
the broken parts and then respray it.
Depending on the racquet model ,the epoxy glue and
carbon fibre added to the weld will not increase the weight by
much,maybe 5gm, and will not cause much distortion to play.
The weight distribution of the head will no longer be even but
it is not noticeable unless you are a pro.This is because some epoxy
and carbon fibre is filled into the hollow frame at the joint when
welding.
They can be re-strung up to 25 lbs., and if they dont play well
or develop cracks, hang it up or donate it to some orphanage
for the kids to learn badminton.
You'll be surprised how many repaired racquets have been put
for sale and how difficult it is to spot a weld if the expert had done
a good repair job.Most shops charge about rm 30-40 for each repair.

Zolkples comments on BAM
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/09/20/Zolkples-Its-a-huge-loss.aspx
In the final analysis everything is about cutting costs
and waste just like everywhere else in these troubled times.
This we have to see, with Msia's penchant for making
achievements at astronomical costs compared to others,
how much can be achieved on a shoestring budget in this day
and age with the decision makers working for free?
The NSC is the body that pulls the money strings of the BAM.

Lee Chong Wei's immediate future plans
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/09/14/Chong-Wei-not-affected-by-BAMs-changes.aspx
His comment on sending players overseas for tournaments
is note worthy. Will the government continue to provide funds
for this purpose or will other priorities such as feeding the aggressive
fat bum cats be bigger priorities?

Myths and truth about cancer treatments and prevention
Subject: Fwd: Shocking Cancer Information....MUST READ all
Received this - oncologists will not he hppy.
But , perhaps , just take it as food for thought!!
Some good advice!
If I am ever faced with this in life - this is why I would not want any cancer treatment......
Shocking Cancer Information - A MUST READ.
Written by a doctor who suffers from cancer and he uses alternative rather than conventional medicine that involves chemo etc.
Good to share with family and friends.
Cancer treatment is about making money...provoking thoughts
I posted this article, which may have some provoking thoughts:
The below is absolutely 100% true and as a doctor I have been telling people this for 15 years now. No one wants to listen. Folks need to wake up. Cancer treatment is about making money. It is a 120 billion dollar a year industry in the United States alone and estimated to be a 600 billion dollar a year industry worldwide.
A successful cancer case according to the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology means that the person survives for 5 years. Both the American Cancer Society and the American College of Oncology and Hematology admit that a person is likely to survive cancer for 7 to 10 years even if they do absolutely NOTHING. Of course, only the doctors get those magazines - not you, the cancer patient.
Alternative medicine's track record of curing cancer is 10 times higher than that of conventional medicine. Note that I say CURE.
Remember another thing.
A TUMOR is just a symptom.
It is not the cause of cancer.
Science is cause and effect.
Remove the cause and the effect disappears.
I am in my third battle with cancer right now.
I have not done any chemotherapy or radiation or surgery for
any of my bouts with cancer.
I survived leukemia,
I survived Non Hodgkins Lymphoma and now
I have Glioblastoma which is supposedly an incurable
form of brain cancer.
I was given two months to live 5 months ago.
I have been using Chinese herbs,high doses of vitamin C,acupuncture, chiropractic,homeopathy and nutritional changes.
Yes, at first it got worse.
It had metastasized to my lymph nodes, my lungs and my bones.
As of this week, I am happy to say that there is no evidence now of any cancer in my lymph system or my bones. I had 6 tumors in my lungs, now there are only two.
The tumors in my brain have shrunken tremendously. I never did any of their chemo, radiation or surgery.
Here is a very interesting statistic that
you can only have access to by being a doctor.
Sort of like the fact that less than 25% of all pediatricians vaccinate their own children because of the fact that the risk of sudden death or serious side effects from the vaccination is higher than the risk of catching the disease one is being vaccinated for.
This is not bullshit people - it is truth.
Medicine is about money, not about your health and the system traps people, especially the elderly, disabled and poor into a deadly treatment regime that puts them in an early grave. Meanwhile, all the jet set billionaires are flying off to Europe and paying big bucks for alternative treatments and getting cured.
Does alternative medicine work all the time?
No. Of course not.
Nothing works all the time.
But there is a reason for that.
You don't die until it's your time to die.
Nothing can make you live longer than that time.
However quality of life comes into play.
Those cancer patients who usealternative therapies for their cancer, yet still die from the illness, suffer a much higher quality of life. They die able to spend time with their families and even recognize their family members.
They don't become emaciated like those who do chemotherapy or radiation do and rarely is a person who goes under the treatment of chemotherapy able to recognize anyone for the last few days of their lives.
Their bodies become ravaged to the point that you can't even recognize them either. They suffer at a much much higher rate and they have one let down after another as doctors tell them, ahhh - it's looking good, only to tell them on the next visit it's looking worse, you need more chemo and radiation.
What is criminal about this is that
YOUR DOCTORS KNOW THIS SHIT.
I took an oath as a physician.
I have always followed it.
That has certainly not made me successful financially as a doctor because I have consistently refused to go along with conventional medicine's bullshit.
Read the below carefully.
It may indeed make a difference in your life.
Rick Cantrell, PhD, MD, PsyD
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and preventedfrom multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer itindicates the person has nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day
and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7.. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiationwill often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of hemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed,hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.
Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
*CANCER CELLS FEED ON:-
A. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful.
A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses , but only in very small amounts.
Table salt has a chemical added to make
it white in color Better alternativeis Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
B. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract.
Cancer feeds on mucus.
By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.
C. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment.
A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat, like chicken. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
D. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.
About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells.
To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day.Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C)..
E. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water.
Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes.
Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering.
By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymesto attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system
(IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy
cancer cells..
Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.
A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment.
Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit.
Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment.
Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxyge therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave..
Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well.
Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us.
He said that we should not beheating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body.
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin.
So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.
Please share this with your whole email list.........................
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave.
As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food.
Cover food with a paper towel instead.
If u kept reading this thro to the end, then send this out to those whom u care. I just did!!

BAM adopts a leaner management structure
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/09/07/BAM-unveils-new-5-year-plan.aspx
BAM chops down the bloated hierarchy
and bureaucracy to just two layers.
If this works maybe one day the whole
country's bureaucracy and corporate
structure can also be rationalised and all
the middlemen eliminated.
But the sports is heavily dependent on
government allocations and funding and if
that falls short, fat lot of good the restructuring will do.

Run up to Rio Olympics-The Four Heavenly Queens of Badminton
Ladies singles in badminton up to Rio 2016
promises to deliver exciting times,with the game
increasingly more like Men's Singles and the players
with skills and physical abilities inherited from and
likened to those of the legends both of past decades
and the present :
The Four Queens :
1) Li Xue Rue- Powerful and athletic like a young
Lin Dan but likely to develop like LD with further
developments in "softer" racquet skills like net play,
defence,counter attacking,placements and accuracy.
If speed and pace is not further enhanced she could well
be seen as another Ye Zhao Ying the shotmaker.
2) Ithanon Ratchanok-18 and still growing with racquet
skills like Rudy Hartono and speed about the court like
Susi Susanti.Likely to become physically stronger
and more devastating in her already subtle and deceptive
strokes becoming more like like Lee Chong Wei.
The Speedy Gonzalez of badminton! Ariba!
3) Carolina Marin-Physically strong and good court
coverage,with further developments in racquet skills.
Probably resembling Tina Baun and a female version of
Chen Long.
4) PV Sindhu-Tall and deceptive and growing stronger
and faster.More developments in footwork and likely to
become a modern day female version of Prakash
Padukone.
Matches amongst the four promise to be breath-taking
ones with battles requiring exceptional strokes and court
movement unlike Men's Singles which is moving in the
opposite direction,becoming even more physical and based
on fitness.
Definitely better value than future sequels of Rocky 1,2 etc.
featuring LD vs LCW.

Lee Chong Wei explains how he lost the 2013 World Badminton Championships
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/08/12/Chong-Wei-down-but-not-out.aspx
In his own words he was
1) Suffering from the heat
2) Unable to play with the drift
(as there were no more easy points
from opponent's mistakes.)
Easy to comment as a spectator but he could
have contrived an alternative tactic.Or perhaps
he was too tired from past matches to play at
a high level in the still air of the hot stadium.
His opponent took to the heat and stable environment
like a duck to water.But it could actually work either way.
It must really take a genius in sports science or
thermodynamics to be able to guess his actual condition
and be able to create an artificial change in the atmosphere
to take advantage.Maybe Zhu Ge Liang was that genius.
Hats off to Zhu Ge Liang.Ever wonder why the alleged
manupilators of the air con did not think of turning the fan
speed up instead to create more turbulence and confuse
the players but to please and cool the crowd (including the VIPs
from the BWF?).Again only Kong Ming can have the
brilliance of a magician to predict and control how the drift is
going to behave on that particular day and time.
Which means that other people are not that clever to respond
to change.
So next time we learn that to beat LCW simply :
1) Play him under hot and humid conditions
2) Manipulate the drift in the stadium a few times by
adjusting the air conditioning as he cannot adapt to
changes or even when the envcironment has reached
equilibrium ie still air.Cannot Ubah?
LCW is not actually saying all these things to offer as
an excuse,in fact he is just being blunt and honest.Its those
Ah Bengs and Ah Lians supporting him that are twisting all
words to offer as excuses.In fact LCW is a legend in his
own right.
In the women's singles 18 year old Ratchanok had enough
control and flexibilty in her strokes coupled with variety to cope
with both playing ends and was able to tie up Li Xue Rui's less
versatile game in knots.
As LD said,sports is cruel.The winner has to be very strong
and crafty. Winner not whiner takes it all. Is that anything new,
analogy in GE13? Its true all those comments about people
with weak mental strength.
But can we do anything to help LCW? YESSSSSSS!!
Here's what we can do :
We bring along a bomoh who can change winds
1) When the air gets hot and still he can direct supporters
to scream Boleh at the top of the lungs to blow the shuttle
in whatever direction desired.Or he can ask them to take
out those strange paper fans people bring into air con stadiums
and create a Mexican wave to create artificial drifts and cool.
the air to create drift to advantage.
2) Another way is for Bomoh to orchestrate the screaming of
Boleh so loud that it will pierce the ear drums of the opponents.
China players have no defence against high pitch screams.
Malaysian players ear drums can tolerate high decibels because
they are always listening to loud music with their headphones or
have to tolerate everyday for decades the monkey noises made
by the cunning politicians in power.
Just make sure it doesn't backfire and turn into a disadvantage.
Not to worry, such tactics are acceptable and not tantamount to
cheating as they have always been practised.So we are using our
human capital to fight against machines!
Fight hot air with hot air!

How to end China's domination in world badminton
I have a humble suggestion how the international
badminton community can end China's domination.
First we on the internet and media must at every
opportunity badmouth Li Yong Bo and the CBA
on how they are abusing their position and also
bullying and in cahoots with the BWF.Create rumours
if possible to tarnish their image.
In particular we should target LYB,once he has been
slain team China would be headless and then we can
move in. Then China will no longer dominate badminton,
then we move in onto their sports system so they will also lose
out in the Olympics and finally we sabotage their
economy so that they will be broke.
But we must be careful that we do not score an own
goal and shoot our own foot in the process.
When China becomes a dot in badminton,all the big
bucks and sponsorships will be gone and we end up
begging like squash.
When the Chinese economy collapses so will all of us.
Our biggest customer gone!
Setuju? Boleh?
So are you with me? Ubah,Ini Kali Lah, since team
China is now at its weakest with LYB winning only 2
golds in the World Championships , lets sabotage him
now before he resumes his winning ways!Just look at
the effort ,resources and sacrifices countries like Japan,
India,Thailand and Indonesia have made to keep up with
China. All we can do is whine,bitch,sabotage and bad-mouth
the winners at no expense,do nothing but scream Boleh while
our ancient feudal warlords of the land gorge and enrich
themselves at others' expense.
Clever,no?One day Malaysia will rule the world
because of our superior creativity and hot air. Then
when China collapses all people of Chinese origin can once
again be looked down upon and bullied everywhere they
go in the world as was during the days of Imperialism
or before Bruce Lee.
Boleh?
Just like Ku Klux Klan and Perkasa I am now setting up a
society called Overseas Chinese Trojan Horse Club
( OCTHC) in which overseas chinese with only
SOME knowledge of the language and culture can spy
on and infiltrate China on behalf of our adopted country,
with the eventual aim of oblitering the vermin or subjugating
them,once we get rid of the 1 billion people there we can
take over everything or plant our godfathers there as
bosses and serve them there.This is to show our gratitude to
our hosts who provide us economic refugees with shelter
and also to express our loyalty to our countrymen who
have long exploited us and encouraged us to leave.
Please contact me here if you want to be an office bearer
in my new club.Act now, my crystal ball tells me that in future
if you dont kowtow to China they will drop more bombs
into your country than world war two and occupy your
country for your oil.
Imagine what we can achieve, China took more than
2000 years to achieve unity peace and stabilty ,and
decades to achieve economic success,imagine how we
little rats can undo all the hard work just by sowing
discord with things like Tian Ann Men and bring about
chaos again!
You're a better man than I,Gunga Din.

Lee Chong Wei can be a future political star
http://www.thestar.com.my/News/Nation/2013/08/17/Sports-Badminton-Politics.aspx
Maybe he can strike a working relationship
and symbiosis with minister KJ and look
forward to many raids and plunders in the future.
The MCA certainly can use him.
Another Michelle Yeoh in the making.

BWF confirms 2013 World Badminton Air Con issue
http://www.thestar.com.my/Sport/Badminton/2013/08/15/China-denies-aircond-switchoff.aspx
Ironic isn't it that a Malaysian player
used to playing to hot,humid conditions
would deem it a disadvantage to play
others from temperate climates under
these conditions.
Maybe LD has been genetically altered
to make him more adaptable like a reptile.
That's cheating worse than Lance Armstrong
or the US sprinters or even many Malaysian
athletes.
Perhaps the truth is that LCW is no longer
young as before and he was unable to fully recover
from the semis and the loss is actually not related to
the heat, period.
The same thing happened to Chen Hong in the 2001
and 2003 All England when he played two very exhausting
semi matches against retriever Roslin Hashim only to fade out
due to exhaustion in the finals against Gopichand and Hafiz.
