DAY TWO t
akes us to DOMINICAN REPUBLIC!
How do Dominicans combat a Cold/Flu without taking any pills?
They drink SANCOCHO a soup similar to chicken noodle soup..it consists of white rice, red beans and meat. Served Hot.
In order to get rid of a sour throat or a cough, they take Lemons or Drink Lemon tea as a remedy.
A Remedy Dominicans believe is soaking naturally grown herbal sticks called Mamajuana in Rum and drinking it as a remedy to cleanse the body & prevent Cold/Flu symptoms.
Great! Don't you think? Mr. D.R believes so..Don't you?

...so i heard eggs give you good hair...
A Health Myth Buster is that shaving your head and rubbing EGGS on it will make your hair grow more healthy.
Just ask the Mexican actress, Salma Hayek, whose grandmother used eggs on her head.
Now her hair seems fabulously healthy!
so is this TRUE?
I was somewhat skeptical about this. Eggs on hair. hmm.. INTRIGUING!!!
Eggs are a good source of nutrition. They contain a good source of:
Vitamin D: GREAT of reducing Hair Loss.
Vitamin A: GREAT for Scalp Health.
Vitamin B: GREAT for Preventing Graying
Biotin: GREAT for improving Hair Thickness.
And the VERDICT is. EGGS are a GREAT for Hair. I wouldn't necessarily promote shaving your head..maybe once a week massage your hair with whisked eggs..leave it in for awhile then rinse it out.
Try it & Tell.

...so i heard Mondays are the LEAST favorite Day of the week...
Proper Structure & Organization are the core foundation for success. Therefore, i will make Mondays- A Just a THOUGHT day.
Just a Thought..
I was watching CNN..[ the News channel ]& just Heard the FDA has approved a new treatment for the most common skin cancer. [YAY!]. What is this cancer? - BASAL CELL CARCINOMA. Which starts at the epidermis (1st layer of skin) & slowly grows. It is caused by ultraviolet radiations & sun rays. The treatment is for persons in the advance state of the cancer, which is when the cancer has spread to various parts of the body.
The Pill (Not Radiation!) is called Erivedge & should be taken once a day. It inhibits the [Hedgehog] pathway an active part of the cell.
I'm sure most people are having mixed feelings about this. Happy & Worry. Happy: Finally have a treatment! Worry: The side effects are going to be hell!
..i read some side effects are hair loss, nausea, diarrhea, muscle spasms , loss of appetite, pregnancy risks & birth defects e.t.c
It is Available tomorrow & is quite expensive.
My thoughts are..EVERY Discovery to benefiting ones health is GOOD Discovery. All pills have side effects. It's ones choice which is most valuable: ones Health & Wellness or potential Side-Effects.
What are your thoughts ?

True...People do act & reason differently based on cultural influences & lifestyle. Here is a Positive!. Since i began talking about the weather... & the effects of the cold weather . .E.g: Common Colds & Flu. I ought to have a [what i cleverly call] 7 DAYS OF ENLIGHTENMENT [ yes YES! Be Excited!]
Of course you are thinking...what is this about? Not to worry I shall explain!. =D
7 days of the week...I share different daily methods/skills/ideologies of people from diverse cultural background and how they COMBAT a Cold/Flu without the use of Western Medicine.

...so i heard [almost] EVERYONE is bound to get sick this winter...
Yes. Lets talk about the Season -->Winter & the bipolar weather. One day it is relatively warm for winter temperature The NEXT day it is SUPER COLD & Windy. This unstable temperature is bound to leave someone with a COLD/FLU.
SO. I believe people do not know if they have a common cold & the Flu. Of course either way it an excuse to Call-Off from work/school =D.[YAY?]. It all depends on the severity of your symptoms: running nose, sore throat, coughing, headaches, Fatigue. SAME Longevity
HOWEVER...
Combating it can be different..common colds are mostly bacterial infections which can be resolved by over the counter antibiotics or Cold relief/ Nasal relief/ sore throat relief pills. BUT. if its caused by a virus then you are screwed! antibiotics don't help soo..tough it out with symptom relievers.
Combating The FLU [a virus..] Then YEP!. you have to get a flu vaccine..which would help greatly..+ no worries about getting Pneumonia or sinus/ear infections =)
[Side-NOTE]. Most people don't believe in getting the flu-shot..but it would help greatly. Especially when it is gotten before the season. =). Last year i got one & totally flu/cold free ALL winter. [YAY!] But it's your Health CHOICE. -__-
Well the weather is not most peoples favorite [so i hear..] but you can have fun dressing warmly with peacoats & matching gloves & hats & Don't forget the Boots! =) ALSO..always WASH your Hands -___-.
....GERMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....
