The Secret of Fountain of Youth: Our body Rejuvernating Mechanism

Without sleep, our body defense mechanism and natural rejuvenation process in our body will not work.

Therefore, we will fall sick, become old compare to our age and will die before our time.

So, how does our body rejuvenating mechanism acts during sleep?

We have 3 elements that affect our aging process:

1. Our body.
2. Stressor in Life
3. Angelic Craftsman for Repair and Rejuvenation.

So, there are 3 groups of elements that we need to balance in order to stay healthy and young.

During the day, our body collects stressor and chemicals causing oxidative stress making our body to become prone to sickness, decay and old age.

During the night, our angelic craftsman repairs our body to make it as perfect as possible.

If the angle craftsman works of repairs and rejuvenation are hindered by time, our body will not be in perfect condition as the repair process is not complete and we bare the stress that is laid upon our body and thus we become easily prone to infection, sickness, decay and old age.

If this continues for a long time, we will be old compared to our age and die before our times.

Moral of the story: Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.

Ability to Sleep is a Gift of God.

God created day and night.

Based on such premise, Day is for us to work and Night is for us to rest.

Going against nature is similar to driving an auto car without knowing what the creator of the car, have created the blueprint for us. In an auto car, there is a "D" and "N". If we assume that D stand for Day and N stand for Night. Our car, will not move. This is because the blueprint of the car is different from our heavenly blueprint.

Therefore, we must follow the blueprint of God for our body. The day is to work and Night is to rejuvenate, recover and heal.

One of the early sign of a psychiatric problem is having difficulty to fall asleep, stay asleep and having a full rest for the night.

Our next day will be devastated if we cannot get a good night sleep. This is because our hormone and neurotransmitter will go disarray. This my friend, is the basis of all psychiatric problem, which is a problem with the nerve and hormonal transmission in the body.

Our mood will be very bad if we don't get a good sleep and we will tend to need stimulant as a short-fix. These stimulants, be it coffee, tea, chocolates, tranquilizer or even drugs, will give us a new feeling by numbing our receptors, leading us to be addicted to certain substances that give us the euphoric mood. As since the day of antiquity, man is attracted to pleasure and avoid pain.

One of the heaviest punishment since medieval time is to deprive the prisoner or spy of sleep. Every time the prisoner fall asleep, the guard will wake him up. This type of punishment is still apparent in the high-security prison camp. Sooner or later, the spy will just beg the captor, to let him sleep and will divulge all information to the captor.

Back to the normal guy, like us, our fear, guilt, and resentment will be our captor and prevent us from falling asleep. Therefore, we should be able to forgive and forget our-self and each other and live a happy life as the saying goes, "there is no man that sins naught and to forgive others is a virtue by itself."

Fear is to be overcome by not doubting our-self anymore.

Guilt is to be overcome by forgiving our-self.

Resentment or regret is to be overcome by stop being sorry for things not happening as you wish.

Let God empty your fear, guilt, and resentment and let him add happiness, love, and greatness in your life.

Therefore, the ability to have a complete rest at night is a gift of God as "the labor of the laboring man will help him to get a good sleep but the wealth of the rich man will not do that."

Moral of the story: Live the blueprint that God had set for us. Fish needs to swim and Birds needs to fly. Similarly, for man, Day is for work and Night is for sleep to make us a merry old soul.

Be Bless,

Dr. Lion.

Curse Life: Unable to find peace with oneself.

A story before time is that human cannot find peace with oneself.

Since small, we were thought the script that, "we must be better, we must be good, we must be great."

All this notion, become our mantra since small that "we must fight on, to stay alive - this is our survival attitude."

The "real fight, is not outside but inside."

There is "no enemy, there is no war, there is no danger, but only to find peace with oneself."

In order to be the best, we can be transformed from a "normal cat to the meanest monster on planet earth."

We "will do, everything at all cost, to achieve our objectives."

We don't have to do that anymore. We don't have to activate our natural sympathetic nervous system, which is our "fear and flight response or our fighting spirit anymore."

Just, "be peace with oneself."

If we are peace with oneself, our defenses are down and we will be able to activate our "parasympathetic nervous system, which is the body mechanism that allows us to be calm transforming us into a relaxed state and make us able to eat, sleep and leads a normal life.

The first sign of an illness or more specifically an "emotional and psychiatric disease" is "changes in vegetative symptoms - a person natural ability to eat, sleep and relax."

We don't have to follow the script that our family, friend or society present to us anymore.

The secret to a full and rewarding life is to "be oneself and finding peace with oneself."

If you cannot find "peace with oneself, how can you find peace with others."

Finding peace with oneself means "emptying all regret, resentment, and guilt from your life."

If you fill your heart with "regret, resentment, and guilt; how can Good feeling be present in your heart."

"Just relax, let go; empty all those bad and sad feelings and start filling your heart with joy, happiness, and love."

You will be "rewarded with peace of mind, that no money in this world can buy."

Moral of the story: To forgive the unforgivable self is a virtue by itself.

Water of Life

Water is the basic necessity of life.


This is because water is a universal solvent that is needed for metabolism and recycling of waste products in our body.

Therefore, water needs to to be in its purest form to be able to perform the above function.


Pure water means water that is free of impurity.



There are only 2 types of water that are free of impurity:

1) Distilled Water

2) Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water.



That's why Dialysis Center has made it a rule that they need to have a source of RO water before their license can be approved by the relevant authority.


However, the Ph of the water is also of utmost importance. Alkaline water is essential for life. WHY?

This is because our body is the makeup of organic mass, which is protein. When protein breakdown, it becomes amino acid and uric acid, which make our body very acidic. Adding alkaline to our body will make our body neutral and make us healthy. Too much acid is like too much fire, scorching our body in the sun.

So consume more

1) Alkaline water

2) Distilled water

3) Reverse Osmosis (RO) water.


In order to be a healthy and less sugary weak acidic soft drink.

For your info, alkaline water might be a little bit bitter and not everyone favors it.

Cancer are immortal vampirous cells

What is cancer?

Cancer is no other than a cell that failed in "apoptosis" or programmed cell death and becomes an immortal cell.

When cell become immortal, they have no choice but to take the nutrient and gobble up the surrounding cell leading to vampires concepts.

Why cell become immortal?

1. Failed apoptosis.
2. Failure of our Tumor Suppressor Gene to work leading to the genetic basis of cancer.

Cancer is a layman term. The right term should be benign and malignant.

Benign means the cancerous growth is localized.

Malignant means the cancerous growth have distant spread via blood and lymph nodes. That's why lymph nodes involvement always denotes highly metastasis.

Cancer staging is based on TNM staging.

What is this Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle staging?

1. T for Tumor location.
2. N for Nodal involvement
3. M for Tumor spread or metastasis.

Anyone with cancer, will ask how long can I live?

This is individualized based on the prognosis of the disease for the percentage of survival within 5 years.

Everything is poison or toxin depending on dose.

Paracelsus father of toxicology coin the terms "everything is poison or toxin depending on the dose."


Why is this so?

This is due to the fact that if the dose is too small the herbs or food or poison is not working and if it is too high it is poisonous.


That's why every medicine or herbs to be effective tends to have a certain recipe or formula behind it, to be effective in 50% of the population, ED50.


What is a recipe?

It is a combination of dose for multiple drugs and their solidifying or solubility agent that affects 3 parameters in our body:

1)  Route of administration of drugs or herbs- enteral (oral) or parenteral

2)  How our body acts on the drugs or herbs - pharmacokinetics

3) How drugs or herbs act on our body via receptors or hormones or ligands - pharmacodynamics


Captions: Water is also effective or toxic depending on dose - water at low dose causes dehydration and water at high dose causes water intoxication.


"Health is Wealth"


Good Luck!

What constitutues a satisfactory life.

Is good life means healthy alone? Or being rich only?

Definitely NO.


A good and satisfactory life constitutes satisfactory performance in five domains of life:

1. Mobility - being able to move around everywhere u wish.

2. Self-care - being able to care for your self like combing your hair, button your clothes without the aid

3. Usual activity - ability to perform what u desire daily without hindrance

4. Pain/discomfort - not having any pain sensation (how much distressing if you have experience back pain)

5. Anxiety/depression - mental wellbeing.


This shows us that health is wealth. 


How much we will pay to have a perfect score in all 5 domain above.
