The HEART OF THE MATTER is that there are many unscrupulous doctors and surgeons in this world using patients as their guinea pigs and making loads of moneys from their ailments.
I read a good piece of news from the Straits Times (6 feb 2010) about a “Prominent surgeon faces SMC hearing“. It is indeed HEART-ening to hear the Singapore Medical Council is doing their job.
The Matter of the Heart is is whether there are enough being done at the PREVENTIVE MEDICINE level to prevent to heart ailments from affecting the population at too young a level.
With the myriad of “toxic” food product being introduced into our environment at a an alarming level given our entreport state it is rather difficult to check on all food products and items. Hence we need to populace to help too, to inform and alert if necessary.
The Heart of the Matter is how?
The Matter of the Heart is we can start by strengthening the core heart muscles by taking whey protein and exercising the heart rather that wait for the heart muscles to fail and that is when we are at the mercy of the merry heart doctors and surgeons etc and of course their ever-ready sponsoring pharmaceutical companies.
Why whey protein - well to heart of the matter is whey is already in its amino acid form and easily assimilated particularly by those whose body organs is already in in-incapacitated mode through “lack of blood circulation” – whether by cardio-vascular blockages and hence making the digestion of protein (not amino acids) rather improbable and thus we often find doctors advising against taking too much protein. But that is what that will surely KILLS the heart. Our heart is primarily muscle and needs protein to continue is beating continuously.
So for our older generation that have often be mislead by the so-called heart consultants we should go back to the basic to build a strong heart foundation through proper diet and nutrition.
Another matter of the heart supplement would probably be nattokinase that apparently helps to clear the plaque in the cardiovascular system. It is fermented soya beans and does not have the associated problems of non-ferment soya bean. Nattokinase should also not be confused with the chinese tojian (ferment beans) since the uses different culture bacteria. Ferment food is ok like wine or red yeast rice though the former is often acceptable being of western origin while the latter like red yeast rice had been associated with “toxin” from tainted production methods. We are wise enough the know the marketing war between western pharmaceutical companies and TCM products. Some TCM products with tainted products are actually manufactured in the western countries. That’s is the heart of the matter.
Another side issue is that the constant radiation smog generated by cellphones and wireless lan around us is affecting our nervous system that in turn affect our involuntary muscles like digestion and heart beat etc. We should be mindful of these things too. So do not stay too long in any place or environment and get up walk every hour or so. This allow our voluntary muscles (or maybe our only functioning muscles) to move our bowels and lungs and heart for a functioning body system.
We should take heart in these matters.
Cheers!

Having pour away much of the water, if you look closely, you can find all sort of particles, ranging from rust to metal flaks from coatings that had came off during the thermal processes. I tried a second cup and again, I detected not only the rust and scales but also the metal flaks most like from the deteriorating thermal housing or the metal filter holder.
