Dir: Efren C Pinon
Juramentado, in Philippine history, refers to a male Moro swordsman who attacked and killed targeted Christian police and soldiers, expecting to be killed himself, the martyrdom undertaken as an unorthodox form of personal jihad. Unlike an amok, who commits acts of random violence against Muslims and non-Muslims alike, a juramentado was a dedicated, premeditated, and sometimes highly-skilled killer who prepared himself through a ritual of binding, shaving, and prayer in order to accomplish brazen public religious murder armed only with edged weapons.

Healing power of : Light. (16)

Groundbreaking research involving primary school students, has demonstrated that various light concentrations and colours improve the children's ability to concentrate.

We can't see the full spectrum of the sun. Our visible light is a built up from the colors of the rainbow, making it 'white' light. But most of the sun's radiated energy is beyond our perceptions as the above picture shows.

Since October 2009, each classroom at Veltvest primary school in the town of Wintelre in the south of the Netherlands has been equipped with lights of different colours and intensities. These have been defined as standard (normal) light, energy-enhancing light, concentration light and restful light.
Pupils who studied under lamps with an intense blue tint achieved test scores that were 8.7 percent higher than those who studied under normal lighting. After a month, their results were 13.7 percent higher.

Headteacher Jane van der Heijden: "In the morning, we start with a bright light to help increase energy and we mostly end the day with a warm peaceful light which can accompany a nice talk or creative activity. Both the children and the teachers are positive about the range of lighting."

The research is a joint effort by the University of Twente's Educational Organisation and Management team and electronics giant Philips and has been dubbed SchoolVision.

~~~~

Color is simply a form of visible light, of electromagnetic energy. All color spectrums reflected in the rainbow carry their own unique healing properties.

We are in a world where color dominates our lives, from reading signs on the road to seeing if fruit is ripe to eat. Colors eventually affect our moods, although we tend to use and experience color everyday in our lives without even realize it.
Color therapy, also known as chromotherapy, is often facilitated in the healing rooms of alternative health practitioners. Color therapy is classified as a vibrational healing modality. Vibrational medicine incorporates the use of chi energies within living organisms such as plants, gemstones and crystals, water, sunlight, and soundwaves.

A therapist trained in color therapy applies light and color in the form of tools, visualization, or verbal suggestion to balance energy in the areas of our bodies that are lacking of balanced cellular vibration, be it physically, emotionally, spiritually, or mentally.

The effects of colors:

RED stimulates brain wave activity, increases heart rate, respirations and blood pressure, excites sexual glands. It energizes the first chakra (coccyx). It warms us and awakens us physically and energizes our blood. It is a good color to wear when we have colds and poor circulation. Too much red can over stimulate and make some illnesses worse. High blood pressure is an indicator of too much red energy in the body. It is a color for war, prosperity, fire, and rising sun. Spiritually it is the root color of fire and connects us to our physical self.

ORANGE is the color of joy and wisdom. It affects the second chakra (sacral). It gives an energy, stimulates appetite and it is a good color for illnesses of the colon and digestion. Spiritually it is the color of joy. It connects us to our emotional self.

YELLOW is the solar plexus chakra. It energizes, relieves depression, improves memory, stimulates appetite and helps in digestive problems. Spiritually it is the color of wisdom and connects us to our mental self.

GREEN affects the heart chakra. It has a calming effect and balances the nervous system. Green color is soothing, relaxing mentally as well as physically, helps those suffering from depression, anxiety, nervousness. It is a good color for cardiac conditions, high blood pressure and ulcers. Since green stimulates growth, it should be avoided in cancers and other tumors. Spiritually it is the color of love and connects us to perfect love.

BLUE is the color for the throat chakra. It is a good color in respiratory illness or throat infections. Blue is calming and cooling to our system and hence, a good color to counteract hypertension. Spiritually it is the color of health and connects us to holistic thought.

INDIGO is the color for healing of the brow chakra. It is a good color for sinusitis, immunity problems, and all face problems. Too much of this color can cause depression. Spiritually it is the color of intuition and connects us to our unconscious self.

VIOLET is the color of the crown chakra. It is cleansing, strengthening, and awakening, suppresses appetite, provides a peaceful environment. It affects the skeletal system of the body. It is a good color for improving immunity, cancerous conditions, and arthritis. It also purifies the system and is an excellent color for headaches and migrains. Spiritually it is the color of faith and connects us to our spiritual self.

So next time you gonna paint your house or hair, or dunno what to wear, check on your mood and the colors.

Good health.

Water, hot water and a heart attack.

Water is clearly the most important nutrient and the most abundant substance in the human body. Water comprises about three quarters of the human mass and is a major component in every cell. In addition water is important to human health for many reasons including but not limited to the following:

Water is the containing medium for electrolytes and all other ions throughout the human body.

Some of these ions help to form electrical pathways for nerve functions.

Being 2% dehydrated can seriously degrade physical and mental functions.

Being 15% dehydrated is likely to be lethal.

Unlike vitamin deficiencies which can take weeks to make someone ill, a water deficiency can kill in days or even hours. Water is also very important for removing toxins from the human body. The body has four major ways of removing toxins which are:

Bowels

Urination

Perspiration

Processing of toxins by the liver

The first three of these four methods directly excrete water from the body. When dehydrated, the body will try to save water by minimizing the use of the first three functions and will force the liver to assume as much of the workload as possible. This extra work will place a heavy burden on the liver which still has other functions in addition to detoxification. Even then, the liver by itself will not be able to do all that work very efficiently and toxins will build up rapidly.
Water is also important to fitness and fat loss for several reasons including the following:
Water fills us up without adding any calories.
Dehydration will degrade a person’s ability to exercise and burn calories.
Dehydration will reduce protein synthesis which is needed to build or repair muscles.

It is normally recommended to drink about 2 to 3 quarts of water per day. However, this will vary with the size and activity level of the person as well as with the climate conditions. Either case, if your urine is bright yellow, then you need to drink more water. Also, anyone who exercises nonstop for more than 1 hour should consider replacing electrolytes along with the water. This is to avoid hyponatremia (depleted sodium) or other forms of severe electrolyte depletion which can be dangerous.

Now, what to drink when you're thirsty...?

Water or Coke.??

Water

Almost 2% of the western people are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half the world population)

1/3 of mankind starts to eat when the thirst mechanism calls to drink, but it is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism with a few %.

One glass of water will shut down hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back-and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by half, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 80%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Do you drink the amount of water you should drink every day?

It helps you to lose weight to drink a glass of water each time you feel the urge to get something from your fridge...!!
Instead of having 10 cups of coffee/tea/milk or softdrinks every day
(often milk and sugar included), take a glass of water first.
Instead of eating a piece a cheese/sausage/popcorn/chips and stuff like that, drink a glass of water first.

Or you can drink:

COKE

You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days.

To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the 'real thing' sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.

To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes..

To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into the load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It will dissolve a finger nail in about four days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase of osteoporosis.

The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean engines of the trucks for about 20 years!

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water? ...

...or Coke

http://bert-firebert.blogspot.com/2010/07/drinking-sodas-bad-ideado-fruits-and.html

Hot water.

Let's drink hot water instead of cold after every meal...

there are a lot of benefits, one is described below.

Please note that

IF HOT WATER ALONE DOES NOT APPEAL TO YOU, DRINK HOT CHINESE TEA OR HERBAL TEA AS SUBSTITUTE FOR HOT WATER. FEW LEAVES OF FRESH MINT IN HOT WATER IS WONDERFUL TOO..

Heart Attacks And Drinking Warm Water

The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating, cos this habit seems to be of major importance in preventing heart attacks..!!!

For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancers, first to hit your heart..... It is best to drink hot soup or warm water/tea after a meal.
