How to arrest the killer 'STROKE'

I was 'kinda organizing my usual 'to be organized' files when i stumbled upon an old email forwarded some years back to me by a friend. Maaaring/pinakamalamang ay makatulong ang post na ito para makapag-save ng buhay ng mga mahal natin...or kahit 'di natin kakilala...

TOTALLY AMAZING

I received this in my e-mail:

When a stroke occurs, stay calm. No matter where the victim is, don't move him/her because, if moved, the capillaries will burst. Help the victim to sit up where he is to prevent him from falling over again.

Begin the bloodletting. If you can, an injectionn syringe would be best. Otherwise, a sewing needle or a staight pin will do. Place the needle/pin over fire to sterilize then use it to prick the tip of all 10 fingers. There are no specific acupuncture points, just prick about a millimeter from the fingernail till blood comes out. If blood does not start to drip then squeeze with your fingers. When all 10 digits bleed, wait a few minutes. The victim will regain consciousness.

If the victim's mouth is crooked, pull his ears until they are red. Then prick each ear lobe twice until two drops of blood come from each. After a few minutes, the victim should regain his normal state wihtout any abnormal symptoms then take him to the hospital. If he was rushed to the hospital by an ambulance, the bumpy trip will cause all the capillaries (in) his brain to burst. If he saves his life, barely managing to walk, it is by his ancestors' grace.

I learned about letting blood to save life from Chinese traditional doctor Ha Bu-Ting who lives in Sun-Juke. Furthermore, I had practical experience with it. Therefore I can say this method is 100 percent effective.

In 1979, I was teaching in Fung-Gaap College in Tai-CHung. One afternoon another teacher came runningto my classroom saying, “Mr.Liu, come quick, our supervisor has had a stroke!” I immediately went. When I saw our supervisor, Mr. Chen Fu-Tien, his color was off, his speech slurred, his mouth crooked – all symptoms of a stroke. I immediately asked one of the practicum students to go to the pharmacy to buy a syringe which I used to prick Mr. Chen's 10 finger tips.

After a few minutes, when all 10 fingers were bleeding (each with a pea-sized drop of blood) Mr. Chen's face regained its color and his eyes' spirit returned too but his mouth was still crooked. I pulled on his ears to fill them with blood and when the ears became red, I pricked his earlobes twice to let out two drops of blood. When both earlobes had two drops of blood each, a miracle happened. Within 3-5 minutes the shape of his mouth returned to normal and his speech became clear. We let him rest for a while, have a cup of hot tea, then we helped him go down stairs and drove him to the hospital. He rested one night and was released the next day to return to school to teach. Everything worked normally. There were no ill after-effects. On the other hand, the typical stroke victim usually suffers irreparable bursting of the brain capillaries on the way to the hospital. As a result, these victims never recover.

Therefore stroke is the no.2 cause of death. The lucky ones will stay alive but remain paralyzed for life. It is such a horrible thing to happen in one's life.

If we can all remember this bloodletting method and strart the lifesaving process immediately, in a short time, the victim will be revived and regain 100 % normality.

We hope you can tell others about this first aid method. By doing so, stroke may be removed from the list of major causes of death.

Forward this after reading. It will be a good deed indeed.

Eksayting?

As days pass by, maraming eksena ang unti-unting lumalabas... sa t.v., sa radyo, sa dyaryo, sa internet, saan pa ba?... sa kalye, sa palengke...

Umatras na si Mar, at si Kiko ready daw magpaubaya... si Meyor Binay umatras na rin... para magparaya kay Erap... eh si Erap, handa kayang magparaya? sila Loren & Chiz? eh si Villar? papayag kaya si sinta nyang si Cynthia??...

Susuporta raw sila Among Ed & Gob. Padaca kay Noynoy if ever. Eh si Brother Ed? di raw apektado ng desisyon ng LP yung sariling plano ng Bangon Pilipinas... eh di ba't nag-bak-awt na rin si Brother Mike?

Si Noli naman, reluctant pa raw.. magbak-awt kaya? eh feeling nya'y all-out sa kanya si GMA eh..

Sa kabila ng mga ito, halos araw-araw na naman ang pagtaas ng presyo ng basic goods -- oil, lpg, mga delata, mga mahirap ma-avail ng common-tao... haaay!! marami nang mga tao na di makakain 3-beses sa isang araw, wala pa ring paki ang mga insensitib!!

Let's see....

Espacio limitado

One of the dog-pets just died, "..multiple organ failure.." said my brother Doctor (M.D.) who happened to pass by para lang mag-good-bye sa aming parents na pa-Bikol (mga isang buwan) in time for Peñafrancia.

Buti hindi na humagulgol ang isang pamangkin na napaka-mapagmahal sa animals (dogs & cats). Kumbaga'y na-condition na sa ilang linggo na ring illness ng dog. Biglang lumaki ang tyan habang nakakulong sa kanyang dog-house. Tinitiis kasing dumumi (& umihi) kapag nakakulong. Mas gusto pa niyang maghanap ng malulusutan sa bakal na kulungan. Ayaw niyang kinukulong (eh sino bang gustong makulong?:)). Kahit na nga bakal ang kulungan at makailang ulit nang gawan ng paraan para di na malusutan nung aso e nagagawa pa ring makahanap ng lusutan. Lalo na pag may putukan sa paligid. Naku! asahan mong maya-maya pa'y ala na yun sa kulungan at nagtatago na sa likod-bahay.

Kanina nga, nang ma-deds, pinrublema namin kung saan ililibing. Eh sementado ang compound! Dati meron pang isang 4x10 metro na mala-backyard garden kaya't walang problem. Ang hirap maghanap! Way back in the '80s nga eh ang kaunti pa ng bahayan sa paligid, as in kahit saan mo isiping ilibing ang iyong dogs eh makapili ka anywhere... hanggang sa naisip namin eh dun na lang ulit sa dating pinaglibingan sa isa pang pet dog around two years ago? sa mahabang flower-pot sa gilid ng windows ng main-house na siya mo na lang makikitaan ng part na may lupa sa compound. "Sa isang side naman kami maghuhukay..." sabi namin.

Naghukay kami hanggang maka-three feet na ang lalim. Aba'y di na kayang lalim-laliman pa't medyo adobe na ang ilalim, matigas na! Nakakahapong ordeal! Nakakasugat ng daliri (sa gasgas sa pader) at nakabasag pa kami ng isang window jalousie:) Okey lang! maluwag sa aming damdaming nalinis agad namin ang labing naiwan ng isa sa pet-dogs! Eksaktong pumabor sa rekwes nung isang kwelang Heswitang Bishop sa channel 5 -- aniya, "...gumawa kayo ng isang mabuting gawa ngayong linggo..." or someting to that effect!

Until then....
