SILENT KILLER:
What you need to know about NIGHTMARE or BANGUNGOT & some realities

IMPORTANT:
Never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water during
your 8-hour rest.

Bangungot has killed a male nurse of UERMMH. It is sudden death in adults which cause them
to die while sleeping. Many theories have been put forward as its cause. However, here is an
article which sheds some light to the cause of this malady.


Article from THE PHILIPPINE STAR:

The reported cause of actor Rico Yan's death is nightmare or bangungot.. Medical investigators in
China , Japan and several Asian countries who performed autopsies on persons who died from
"acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis" found out that the majority of them had eaten NOODLES as
their supper. This was a startling finding.

However, it wasn't the noodles that caused nightmares but DEHYDRATION. Imbibing even with a
few drinks of alcohol or just eating noodles immediately before bedtime compound this on an empty
stomach will trigger an electrolyte imbalance and other factors that causes a person to dehydrate or
lose water.

It is therefore advisable for a person to take several glasses of water before bedtime if he had a few
or several alcoholic drinks. Avoid eating noodles before bedtime, but if you can not avoid it, allow at
least two hours for the body to digest the noodles before hitting the sack and drink plenty of water.

The most important thing is, never go thirsty when going to bed and be sure you have plenty of water
during your 8-hour rest.

Shaving your Armpit?

| Wednesday, June 10, 2009


> Is it OK to shave your armpit hairs?
> Many people complain about armpit hair. Armpit hair causes
> body odor and they are very unsightly. The negative

> least unnecessary to the human body?
> Arguably, the smelliest part of the body is the armpit. The
> reason behind is that the underarm hair is a trap for
> bacteria, sebum, and pheromones. Bacteria plus sebum equals

> Well they
re the sexual chemicals that the body produces

> In modern times, it is considered very unattractive,

> hair.
> While some European women don
t shave their
> armpits as defiance to imposed cultural codes, it is
> necessary for Islamic women to do so.
> But in many East Asian countries like China, Japan and
> Korea, keeping armpit hair is perfectly normal. Even in
> India, it is 100% alright to keep your armpit hair on.
> While it is a common belief that shaving will produce even
> thicker growth, there is absolutely no truth to this at all.
> The reason is that the number of hair follicles

t
> affected by shaving.
> It may seem that armpit hair grows more aggressively than
> other hairs, but shaving the armpit occurs more frequently
> simply because it grows faster than the leg-hair.
> Armpit hair provides lubrication and lessens the friction
> of the skin between your arm and your body. The production
> of sebum prevents the skin from drying and cracking.
> Without armpit hair, the armpits would be susceptible to
> wounds and sores similar to a diaper rash in baby bottoms.
> Sex pheromones are also spread through olfactory means,
> thus adding emphasis to smell. Pheromones serve to attract
> the opposite sex and have an important role in sexual
> attraction.
> Connected to the armpit hair are various sensory nerve

> The arrector pili muscle is connected to each hair follicle
> and together, the hair, hair shaft, arrector pili muscle,
> and sebaceous gland, are known as the pilisebaceous unit.
> The armpit hair is known this way simply because it is
> located under your arms! Most people find long armpit hair

> Rest assured that your underarm forest has its very own

s just a matter of taking the good with the

> (it depends on preference),
> underarm hair provides less friction to your armpits, and
> releases sexual hormones to attract the opposite sex.
>
> The pheromones are the sex chemicals produced by our body

> The only catch is that you might stink a little, but

> On Amazon, you can find lots of Pheromone Colognes listed.
> These are basically colognes with pheromones added to them.
> Think before you shave

> So if you are looking to completely remove your armpit

STOP EATING SUSHI AND SHASHIMI

| Monday, June 1, 2009
This is a true case of a Japanese man from Gifu prefecture who complains incessantly about a persistent headache.
Mr. Shota Fujiwara loves his sashimi and sushi very much to the extent of trying to get them as 'alive and fresh' as can be for his insatiable appetite.
He develops a severe headache for the past 3 years and has put cut off as migraine and stress from work.
It was only when he started losing his psychomotor skills that he seeks medical help.
A brain scan and x-ray reveals little however.

But upon closer inspection by a specialist on his scalp, the doctor noticed small movements beneath his skin.
It was then that the doctor did a local anesthetic to his scalp and discovered the cause when tiny worms crawled out.



A major surgery was thus immediately called for and the extent of the infestation was horrific.

Remember, tapeworms and roundworms and their eggs which abound in all fishes fresh or salt fishes can only be killed by thorough cooking and/or freezing the fish to between 4 deg C - 0 deg C.
The eggs of these parasites can only be killed if it is cooked or frozen to the said temperatures for a week or more.
Think twice about that raw dish next time...or you might get a headache.
