Last week, i brought Akil to see Dr. Uncle. His condition is quite bad
up till today. For the past 2 days, i gave him vitamin C, he liked
it. Alhamdulillah. He can say tat for cat, he call me 'Ma' and same

his head when he doesn't want anything, he know where his sandals is,
he gets excited when he see me taking him in the evening. Akil is 14

Curry spice can kill cancer - FYI and Reading Pleasure

*don't know whether how true is this*

Curry spice can kill cancer

A spicy way has been found to kill cancer cells.

Scientists have discovered that a substance found in turmeric, a basic curry ingredient, can kill cancer cells within 24 hours.

Researchers at Ireland's Cork Cancer Research Centre who treated oesophageal cancer cells with curcumin, a chemical found in turmeric, observed that it triggers lethal death signals in the cells.

The cells eventually digest themselves and die.

The results of the study were published in the British Journal of Cancer on Wednesday.

Curcumin gives turmeric (curcuma zangais) its orangy-yellow colour. The rhizome, a close relative of the ginger, is commonly used in Asian cooking as well as in traditional medicine.

Chinese and Ayurvedic medical practioners use turmeric as a treatment for many ailments as it has anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal properties and believed to lower cholesterol.

The results of the Cork Cancer Research Centre study were published in the British Journal of Cancer on Wednesday.

"These exciting results suggest that scientists can develop curcumin as a potential anti-cancer drug to treat oesophageal cancer," said Dr Sharon McKenna who led the study.

She said scientists had known hat natural compounds had the potential to treat faulty cells that become cancerous, adding they also suspected curcumin's possible therapeutic value.

She said medical researcher Dr Geraldine O'Sullivan-Coyne who had been looking for new ways of killing resistant oesophageal cancer cells tested curcumin on resistant cells.

"She found that they started to die using an unexpected system of cell messages."

"Normally, faulty cells die by committing programmed suicide – or apoptosis – which occurs when proteins called caspases are 'switched on' in cells."

"But these cells showed no evidence of suicide and the addition of a molecule that inhibits caspases and stops this 'switch being flicked', made no difference to the number of cells which died."

"This suggested that curcumin attacked cancer cells using an alternative cell signalling system," she added.

Oesophagus cancer kill more than half a million people in the world each year. The cancers are exceptionally deadly, with five-year survival rates of between 12 and 31 per cent.

The number of oesophageal cancer cases have gone up tremendously since the 70s and this is thought to be linked to rising rates of obesity, alcohol intake and reflux disease.

 

A new building in the making

This will be another Petronas builing but dedicated for Petronas
Carigali staff, if i'm not mistaken. Basically, i will see the
progress of the building. There are a lot of questions tht i want to
ask, like how they carry the stuff, how the crane is on top of the
building and others. Well, i totally respect and appreciate people who
work in the constructions now more than i used to before.

Amalan: Doa ketika duduk antara dua sujud

BESARNYA makna DOA YANG KITA LUPAKAN- semasa duduk antara dua sujud Dalam tidak sedar. Setiap hari kita memohon didalam solat kita..tetapi sayangnya, kita hanya memohon tanpa memahami.. sekadar tersebut dibibir, tetapi tidak tersentuh dari hati kita selama ini.. Marilah kita mula menghayati ketika kita duduk di antara dua sujud semasa solat.. Dengan rendah hati nyatakanlah permohonan ampun kepada Allah Rabbighfirli (Tuhanku, ampuni aku) Diamlah sejenak, buka dada dan diri kita untuk menerima ampunan dari Allah seperti membuka diri ketika merasakan hembusan angin sepoi-sepoi atau menerima curahan air hujan ketika kita masih kecil Tetaplah membuka diri kita untuk menerima ampunan Allah Ulangi permintaan itu beberapa kali hingga kita merasakan ketenangan Kemudian sampaikanlah permintaan kedua, Warhamni (sayangi aku) Diam dan tundukkanlah diri kita untuk menerima kasih-sayang Allah yang tak terhitung besarnya Bukalah dada kita seluas-luasnya agar semakin banyak kasih-sayang Allah yang kita terima Ulanglah beberapa kali hingga kita merasa cukup Berturut-turut sampaikanlah permintaan2 berikut dengan cara sebagaimana tersebut di atas, satu persatu.. Wajburnii (tutuplah aib-aibku) Warfa'nii (angkatlah darjatku) Warzuqnii (berilah aku rezeki) Wahdinii (berilah aku petunjuk) Wa'Aafinii (sihatkan aku) Wa'fuannii (maafkan aku) Setelah selesai, diamlah sejenak lalu sampaikan rasa syukur kita Betapa besarnya nilai sebuah doa ini..sebuah doa yang kita hanya lewatkan begitu sahaja.. Dalam tidak kita sedar selama ini kita seperti sedang berpura-pura memohon sesuatu Sebaik-baik manusia ialah orang yang dapat memberi manfaat kepada orang lain (Hadis riwayat Al-Qudhi)
