HEALTHY NOTES
only on empty stomach - eat fruits
Dr Stephen Mak treats terminal ill cancer patients by an "un-orthodox" way and many patients recovered. Before he used solar energy to clear the illnesses of his patients. He believes on natural healing in the body
against illnesses.
As of late, my success rate in curing cancer is about 80%.
Cancer patients shouldn't die. The cure for cancer is already found. It is whether you believe it or not. I am sorry for the hundreds of cancer
patients who die under the conventional treatments.
Thanks and God bless.

EATING FRUIT...
We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just
popping it into our mouths. It's not as easy as you think. It's important to
know how and *when* to eat.
What is the correct way of eating fruits?
IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUITS AFTER YOUR MEALS!
FRUITS SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH
If you eat fruit like that, it will play a major role to detoxify your
system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other
life activities. *
FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD
Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice
of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines,
but it is prevented from doing so.
In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid. The
minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and
digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.....
So please eat your fruits on an *empty* *stomach* or before your meals! You
have heard people complaining - every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I
eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to
the toilet, etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on
an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and
produces gas and hence you will bloat!
Greying hair, balding, nervous outburst and dark circles under the eyes all
these will *NOT* happen if you take fruits on an empty stomach.
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic,
because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert
Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct
way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health,
energy, happiness and normal weight. When you need to drink fruit juice -
drink only* fresh* fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice
that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the
nutrients at all. You only get to taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins.
But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should
drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let
it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit
fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout
the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant
you look! *
KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium,
vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.
APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low
vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the
activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer,
heart attack & stroke.
STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total
antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing,
blood vessel-clogging free radicals. *
ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Taking 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds
away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens
the risk of colon cancer. *
WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also
packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune
system. They are also a key source of lycopene - the cancer fighting
oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium. *
GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for
their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps
prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your
eyes. *
Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!* Can you believe this?? 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 cancer. It is best to drink
hot soup or warm water after a meal.
A serious note about heart attacks.....
HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!)
Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the
left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never
have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea( and
intense sweating are also common symptoms. Sixty percent of people who have
a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can
wake you from a sound sleep.
Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could
survive.

NABRETIRE
INTERESTING NEWS
IT'S 175, OKAY ?
FOR THE BENEFIT OF 'NABRETIRE' MEMBERS, we furnish hereuder, the HISTORY OF OUR DAY TO DAY USE OF WORD 'OK'. It was reported that since the first use of the said WORD, it has completed 175 years. Is it ok? The news item (The Hindu, Sunday, March 23, 2014) is furnished below:
TODAY'S PAPER » NATIONAL
WASHINGTON, March 23, 2014
OK first appeared in print, on page two of The Boston Morning Post.
It’s 175, okay?
Whatever you’re doing this Sunday, wherever you might be,
take a moment to reflect on the most popular word in the
English language, OK?
take a moment to reflect on the most popular word in the
English language, OK?
It will be 175 years since OK — or, as some prefer, okay —
first appeared in print, on page two of The Boston Morning
Post , then one of the most popular newspapers in the
United States.
“I think OK should be celebrated with parades and
speeches,” Allan Metcalf, an English professor in Illinois
who is the world’s leading authority on the history and
meaning of OK, told AFP. “But for now, whatever you do [to
mark the anniversary], it’s OK.”
In his 2001 book, OK: The Improbable Story of America's
Greatest Word , Mr. Metcalf calls OK “the most frequently
spoken [or typed] word on the planet” — used more often
than “Coke” or an infant’s “ma.”
Concise and utilitarian, it’s quintessentially American in its
simplicity. Etymologically, it has no direct relationship with
Latin or Greek or any other ancient tongue.
Oxford Dictionaries, on its website, rejects speculation that
OK is derived from the Scottish expression “och aye,” the
Greek “ola kala” [it’s good] or the French “aux Cayes,” which
refers to a Haitian port famous for its rum.
Rather, it favours a theory — shared by Mr. Metcalf — that
it’s an abbreviation of “orl korrekt,” a derivative of “all correct”
from the 1830s when jokey misspellings were all the rage,
like Internet memes are today.
Credit for finding its first use in print goes to Allen Walker
Read, a Columbia University professor who died in 2002
after a lifetime interest in ‘OK.’ It appeared in the Post in the
context of an article concerning the ironically named Anti-
Bell Ringing Society, founded in 1838 to oppose a
municipal law in Boston prohibiting the ringing of dinner
bells.
Society members were en route to New York, it reported,
adding cryptically that if they should transit Rhode Island en
route home, the newspaper editor in the New England state
might well “have the ‘contribution box,’ et ceteras, o.k. — all
correct — and cause the corks to fly, like sparks, upward.”
But OK truly entered the national lingua franca in 1840,
when spin doctors for Democratic presidential nominee
Martin Van Buren, a native of Kinderhook, New York,
insisted to voters that it meant “Old Kinderhook.”
Today, OK is used “to ask for or express agreement,
approval or understanding” or to add emphasis to a
sentence, as in “I’m going to stay here, OK?” according to
its entry in the Merriam-Webster dictionary.
I’m OK, You’re OK , published in 1967, remains one of the
bestselling self-help books of all time, while Rodgers and
Hammerstein declared Oklahoma in song to be OK! in their
eponymous 1943 musical.
Internationally, OK has travelled remarkably well on the
wings of American popular culture — and found a niche in
the digital era, fitting easily into 140-character Twitter and
text messages.
“It’s a nice, short abbreviation and it fits abbreviations in
other languages,” said Mr. Metcalf, the executive secretary
of the American Dialect Society who teaches at MacMurray
College. “If you’re speaking with somebody who has a
totally different language than you, chances are you can get
by with gestures and OK in various tones of voice.”

HEALTHY NOTES
WALKING WISDOM & DRINKING WATER
MOTTO – HEALTH IS WEALTH & WALK YOUR WAY TO HEALTH
The sold objective to
encourage and foster the idea of “Arogyameva Mahabhagyam” (HEALTH IS WEALTH) is to lead A HAPPY LIFE by Human Being.
Ultimate Aim is to achieve Heaven on Earth. Healthy
people would not quarrel with others.
Similarly, healthy Nations (Nations with healthy people) will be at
peace with one another, ushering in world peace, amity. Universal Brotherhood and prosperity, for
which the person has been yearning for ages. (League of Nations, UNO, etc.)
Healthy People & Healthy Nation
In human life, health is the
prima facie important aspect without which, the mankind cannot lead a healthy
and happy life. Material richness and
money will not help to keep the body physically and mentally fit. In every service organization, whose
objectives are to serve the people, for the upliftment of the poor the down
trodden in the fields of education, health, decent living and several other
programmes laid down to fulfill these objectives.
MAINTAIN HEALATH THROUGH
WALKING
Quotations on WALKING
The art of walking is at once
suggestive of the dinity of man. Progressive motion is alone implies power, but
in almost every other instance it seems
a power gained at the expense of self-possession. – Tuckerman.
If you are for a merry jaunt I
will try for once who can foot it farthese. – Dryden.
The sum of the whole is this: walk
and be happy; walk and be healthy; The best way to lengthen out our days
is to walk steadily and with a purpose. The wandering man knows of
certain ancients, far gone in years, who have staved off infirmities and
dissolution by earnest walking - hale
fellows, close upon ninety, but brisk as boys. – Dickens.
The motto of Walking is
‘Health is Wealth; Walk your Way to Health’.
We should bring the overall awareness among the community on health
consciousness and bring awareness on the
development of physical, mental and spiritual aspects of life. Unless a person is physically and mentally
fit, he/she cannot be active and successful in life and produce the required
thoughts and actions to achieve the set goals.

His last breath was @ 12.55 PM Thursday 20 March 2014.
NABRETIRE pays its TRIBUTE.
2014-15 KUSHWANTH SINGH'S CENTENARY YEAR.
Khushwant Singh
Khushwant Singh (born 2 February 1915, died
March 20, 2014) was an Indian novelist and journalist.
An Indo-Anglian novelist, Singh was best known for his trenchant
secularism,[1] his humor, and an abiding love of poetry. His comparisons
of social and behavioral characteristics of Westerners and Indians are laced with acid wit. He served as editor
of several literary and news magazines, as well as two broadsheet newspapers,
through the 1970s and 1980s. He is a recipient of the Padma
Vibhushan, the second-highest civilian award in India.
Singh was born in Hadali District Khushab, Punjab (which now lies in Pakistan), in a Sikh family. His father, Sir Sobha Singh (builder), was a prominent builder in Lutyens'
Delhi. His uncle Sardar
Ujjal Singh (1895–1983) was Ex. Governor
of Punjab & Tamil Nadu.
He was educated at Modern School, New Delhi, Government College, Lahore, St. Stephen's College in Delhi and King's College London, before reading for the Bar at
the Inner Temple.[2][3]
Singh has edited Yojana,[4] an Indian government journal; The Illustrated Weekly of India, a newsweekly; and two major Indian newspapers, The National Herald and the Hindustan
Times. During
his tenure, The Illustrated Weekly became India's pre-eminent newsweekly, with its
circulation raising from 65,000 to 400000.[5] After working for nine years in the weekly, on 25 July
1978, a week before he was to retire, the management asked Singh to leave
"with immediate effect".[5] The new editor was installed the same day.[5] After Singh's departure, the weekly suffered a huge drop
in readership.[6]
From 1980 through 1986, Singh was a member of Rajya
Sabha, the upper house of the Indian parliament. He was awarded the Padma
Bhushan in 1974 for service to his
country. In 1984, he returned the award in protest against the
siege of the Golden Temple by the Indian Army.[7] In 2007, the Indian government awarded Khushwant Singh
the Padma Vibhushan.
Singh is said to wake up at 4 am each day and write his
columns by hand. His works range from political commentary and contemporary
satire to outstanding translations of Sikh religious texts and Urdu poetry.[citation needed] Despite the name, his column "With Malice Towards
One and All" regularly contains secular exhortations and messages of
peace. In addition, he is one of the last remaining writers to have personally
known most of the stalwart writers and poets of Urdu and Punjabi
languages, and profiles his recently deceased contemporaries in his
column.
As a public figure, Singh has been accused of favoring
the ruling Congress party, especially during the reign of Indira
Gandhi. He is derisively termed as an Establishment Liberal. Singh's
faith in the Indian political system has been shaken by events such as anti-Sikh
riots that followed Indira Gandhi's
assassination, in which major Congress politicians are alleged to be involved.
But he has remained resolutely positive on the promise of Indian democracy[8] and worked via Citizen's Justice Committee floated by H. S. Phoolka who is a senior advocate of Delhi
High Court.
He is married to Kawal Malik and has a son, named Rahul
Singh, and a daughter, named Mala. Actress Amrita
Singh is the daughter of his brother
Daljit Singh and Rukhsana Sultana. He stays in "Sujan Singh Park",
near Khan Market New Delhi, Delhi's first apartment complex, built by his
father in 1945, and named after his grandfather.[9]
Khushwant Singh died in New Delhi at the age of 99 on
March 20, 2014.
