Fish Any1 – Not till U read this!!!

More information on BASA fish   BASA  FILLETS are a common fish in all the local food stores.M any are snatching up the fish at supermarkets as they are very cheap. The fish looks good but read the article and you will be shocked. This product is from Vietnam . Do you eat this frozen fish called BASA? ( Pangasius, Vietnamese River Cobbler, White Catfish, Gray Sole also Pacific Dory)

Industrially farmed in Vietnam along the Mekong River , BASA or Pangas or whatever they’re calling it, has only been recently introduced to the French market. However, in a very short amount of time, it has grown in popularity in France . They are very, very affordable (cheap), are sold in filets with no bones and they have a neutral flavor and texture; many would compare it to cod and sole, only much cheaper. But as tasty as some people may find it, there’s, in fact, something hugely unsavory about it. I hope the information provided here will serve as very important information for you and your future choices. Here’s why it is better left in the shops and not on your dinner plates:

1.  BASAS or Pangas are teeming with high levels of poisons and bacteria. (industrial effluents, arsenic, and toxic and hazardous by-products of the growing industrial sector, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), DDT and its metabolites (DDTs), metal contaminants, chlordane-related compounds (CHLs), hexachlorocyclohexane isomers (HCHs), and hexachlorobenzene (HCB) ).

The reason is that the Mekong River is one of the most polluted rivers on the planet and this is where basa/pangas are farmed and industries along the river dump chemicals and industrial waste directly into it. Avoid eating them because they contain high amounts of contamination. Regardless of Reports and recommendations against selling them, supermarkets still sell them, knowing full well that they are contaminated.

2. They freeze Basa/Pangas in contaminated river water.

3. BASA/Pangas are raised in Vietnam . Pangas are fed food that comes from Peru ( more on that below ), their hormones ( which are injected into the female Pangas ) come from China .. ( More about that below ) and finally, they are transported from Vietnam to other countries .

4. There’s nothing natural about Basa/Pangas – They’re fed dead fish remnants and bones, dried and ground into a flour (from South America ), manioc ( cassava ) and residue from soy and grains. This kind of nourishment doesn’t even remotely resemble what they eat in nature. But what it does resemble is the method of feeding mad cows ( cows were fed cows, remember? ). What they feed basa/pangas is completely unregulated so there are most likely other dangerous substances and hormones thrown into the mix. The basa/pangas grow 4 times faster than in nature, so it makes you wonder what exactly is in their food? Your guess is as good as mine.

5. Basa/Pangas are injected with Hormones Derived from Urine. They inject female Basa/Pangas with hormones made from the dehydrated urine of pregnant women, the female Pangas grow much quicker and produce eggs faster ( one Basa/Panga can lay approximately 500,000 eggs at one time ). Essentially, they’re injecting fish with hormones ( they come all of the way from a pharmaceutical company in China ) to speed up the process of growth and reproduction. That isn’t good. And also consider the rest of the reasons to NOT eat BASA.

6. You get what you pay for – and then some. Don’t be lured in by insanely cheap price of Basa/Pangas. Is it worth risking your health and the health of your family?

7. Buying Basa/Pangas supports unscrupulous, greedy corporations and food conglomerates that don’t care about the health and well-being of human beings. They are only concerned about selling as many basa/pangas as possible to unsuspecting consumers. These corporations only care about making more money at whatever cost to the public..

8. Basa/Pangas WILL make you sick – If you don’t get ill with vomiting, diarrhea and effects from severe food poisoning, congratulations, you have an iron stomach! But you’re still ingesting POISON not “poisson”.

Final important note: Because of the prodigious amount of availability of Basa/Pangas, be warned that they will certainly find their way into other foods like imitation crab sticks, fish sticks, fish terrines, and probably in some pet food too. Just check the Ingredient List to see if Basa is one of the ingredients. Good Luck.

You have been warned !!!

Cure for Diarrhoea (From Email)

QUICKEST WAY TO STOP DIARRHOEA
by: A Singaporean

 

When someone gets diarrhoea, sometimes the solution is so easy, we wonder why anyone has to suffer.Of all the ingredients here, the most potent is Rice, but not in the usual form we eat it in, and neither would rice porridge work too well. The secret is in rice water. This is already known in this region. Ask your maids — Sri Lankan, Indonesian, Filipina and they would know about it.   My Malaysian relatives know about it. (My mother) knew about it. When Dr Albert Winsemius came to Singapore for a farewell and thank you dinner in his honour, he brought along his wife Aly and his granddaughter, Jolijn. Both women came down with very bad gastroenteritis. They saw the doctor who gave them medication. It was slow to work. Mother boiled some rice in lots of water and went to their hotel with two 1.5L bottles of rice water.  I cringed in shame at the offer of this folk remedy, which seemed so primitive to me. Never heard of this cure before.  To my surprise, it worked, and they were even able to go out for dinner the next day. Both were exclaiming how the rice water did the trick of making them well again. Well, lucky it worked, I thought to myself. I was discussing this some years back with Kim Ng, the ex-matron of KK Hospital . She said, yes, that is what Professor Wong Hock Boon, the notable pediatrician teaches. I was shocked and made some comment how could he? It was common knowledge so what had he to do with it? Many months later, I regretted laughing at it.  Dr Christina Shanta Emmanuel, who is the CEO of…uh, which group I have forgotten, either National Health Group, or Polyclinics, or whatever.. regarded me seriously when I brought up the topic like it was good fun.. She said that Prof Wong Hock Boon had presented a paper on it at some conference after he had done clinical trials.   Then his results were published in the Lancet, the Medical Journal all doctors read. In fact, said Shanta, he was credited for saving the lives of 2 million African babies by this method. I am impressed. It is rice water and not rice, that does the trick. I have found it effective again and again. THE EXACT RECIPE You take a handful of rice and boil it in a large saucepan with lots of water. Like three or four large glasses. Then you cool that and drink the water. If you are in a hurry to relieve the ailing person, take the saucepan off the fire and dunk it in a frying pan or basin of cool water with ice cubes if necessary. This gives the patient a chance to drink the rice water sooner and cure himself or herself sooner. When drinking the rice water, make sure there is lots of it. You have to tell the patient that enough water must go in to line your guts from throat to other end, all 10 to 12 metres of it.  If you take rice, it stays in the stomach. If you take broth, some of it may go into the small intestine. But if you take rice water, it will carry rice grains to every inch of your small and large intestine to the end where the problem is.

Indian – American Jokes

 

 An Indian migrated to America , and moved into an American neighbourhood;

His American neighbour went next door to wish him welcome.He was shocked to see the man from India in his nice backyard chasing ten chickens around like mad. “Must be an Indian custom,” he thought to himself.

Deciding he could put off the welcome till a later date, he went home.

The next day, he decided he was going to welcome the Indian man again.

When he looked through his window, he saw the Indian man urinate into a cup and drink it. “Must be an Indian custom,” he thought to himself. Deciding he could put off the welcome till the next day, he went on with other stuff.

The third day, he was determined to welcome the Indian man. At his gate, he saw the Indian man with his ear pressed against a cow’s big fat butt.

Seeing this, he became disgusted and went up to the Indian man.

“I’m sorry sir, I did want to wish you a warm welcome, but I cannot stand your crazy Indian customs!” He yelled at the Indian .

The Indian looked confused and answered. “Sorry sir, I think you are mistaken. These are actually American customs. I was told, that in order to be a true American, you have to chase chicks, get piss drunk, and listen to bullshit.

The Pastor’s Ass

 

The Pastor’s Ass

 

The pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won.
The pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again, and it won again.

 

The local paper reads:

 

PASTOR’S ASS OUT FRONT.

 

The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the pastor not to enter the donkey in another race.

 

The next day, the local paper headline reads:

 

BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR’S ASS.

 

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the pastor to get rid of the donkey.

 

The pastor decided to give it to a nun in a nearby convent.

 

The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day:

 

NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.

 

The bishop fainted.

 

He informed the nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey, so she sold it to a farmer for $10.

 

The next day the paper reads:

 

NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10.

 

This was too much for the bishop, so he ordered the nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the plains where it could run wild.

 

The next day the headlines reads:

 

NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.

The bishop was buried the next day!!

 

 

The moral of the story is . . . being concerned about public opinion can bring you much grief and misery . .. even shorten your life.

  

So be yourself and enjoy life.

  

Stop worrying about everyone else’s ass and you’ll be a lot happier and live longer!

Feather Paintings

Here are some incredible examples of feather paintings – – it is truly an amazing art form – and one I hope you enjoy looking at.  Scroll down That’s It …. The End!    WOW!!!!!!        God’s Wings – A little something to put things in perspective…. After a forest fire in   Yellowstone   National Park , forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno’s damage. One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick. When he gently struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother’s wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and had gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but had refused to abandon her babies. Then the blaze had arrived and the heat had scorched her small body, the mother had remained steadfast …because she had been willing to die, so those under the cover of her wings would live. ‘He will cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you will find refuge.’ (Psalm 91:4) Being loved this much should make a difference in your life. Remember the One who loves you, and then be different because of it. My instructions were to send this to people that I wanted God to bless and I picked you. Please pass this on to people you want to be blessed. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have. You will treasure it even more when you can share it with someone special. To realize the value of a friend…lose one.

SmS Cassanova

Enclosed its collection of SmS from a friend who SmS quite often for the purpose of chasing after girls.

Here are the SmS for all to enjoy and some amusement!!!  May this bring joy to all as it have for me.

Girls, Please let me what you would think if you have received those SmS!!!  Haha!!!

1/  You know I like to invite you over but I’m afraid you are so hot you will skyrocket my air-conditioning bill.

2/  So many times I thought I held it in my hand but  just grains of sand, love slipped through my fingers.  So many nights I asked God, please make me lucky enough to find a love that lingers.  Something keeps telling me that you could be my answer prayer.  You must be heaven send – I swear.

3/  What I have with you is worth it.  It is worth every lonely and cold nights.  Every tears I cry in sorrow from missing you and the pain I feel from not having you close.  It is worth it because girl you are my one and only.  When I picture myself years from now, I can only see you.  No matter how painful distance can be, not being with you in my life would be worse.

4/  Love is not a thing can be explained.  Love is a blind thing that can be harsh and cruel when not shared by two people.  Love can not be force into or made to happen.  It just happens and no one personcan explain it until it happen to them.  No matter what I do, I will always love you over and over again.  As love is like art, it is hard to explain but beautiful experience, I do truly want to spend the rest of my life with you.

5/  I can only tell you a little of how much I love you as there are not enough words to described how I feel, the rest of how I feel is a private conversation between our hearts.  Well, I am shameless when it comes to loving you.  I want to go bed at night, wake up every day and breathe knowing you are truly mine, the only reason I breathe is to breathe you in.

6/  Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a chance but falling in love with you I had no control over.  I love you not only for what you are but for what I am when I am with you.  I love you not only for what you have made of yourself but for what you are making of me.  I love you for the making of me.  I love you for the part of me that you bring out.

7/  If I knew missing you was going to be a part of my life, I never would have let you in.  Where my head rests is not where my thoughts lay.

8/  Life is pretty much unpredictable.  I may not live long enough but I wont miss out out letting you know that life is worth living with someone like you around.

9/  I am enthralled by your beauty, mesmerised by your charisma and spellbound by you.  No wonder I am always thinking about you without any reason.

10/  I have three parts of my heart, first my careers, second my family and third my friend.  But no part for you for you are my heart.

11/  Romance is born out o the efforts we give.  Each moment we share is what touches us.  You are what defines beauty – miss you much.

12/  Looking into your eyes I can see beauty.  Looking into your soul I can see passion.  Looking into your mind I can see intelligence but looking into your heart I see the most wonderful world.  Just remember that even when we apart.  I will be missing you.

13/  If you stand in front of the mirror with 11 roses, you will see 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.

I am sure there is more to come as Mr Sms Cassonova is quite persistant and Good luck to him finding his “One And Only” from many of those SmS he have sended out already to all the girls he come across.
