Longevitology

It’s been a hectic week last week, I attended this thing called longevitology which lasted for 6 days. I don’t really know what it is about but it seems like you can heal a person by “touching” on the illness places for 10 minutes or more. You can even heal yourself!! But I think this miracle only happens on the person who has good karma. If it happens on everyone, then doctors are in excess. I wouldn’t say I believe it or not, but the truth is if everyone can be healed like that, then doctors are useless dee!! If you want to heal someone, you must have your chakras opened first then only you can do so. And I made a little research on this, and this is it about:

Longevitology is a hand on healing technique developed by Ling Zi Zhen, a native of Taiwan (Republic of China). It has started with Ms Ling treating family and friends to now a non-profit orgnization with thoudsands of volunteers. Since its begining in the early eighties it has brought healing power to millions worldwide.

Longevitology is a natural therapy healing method that uses the human body to receive energy from the universe. It involves the relaxation of the body and mind in order to acquire the energy in a natural way. This is achieved by sitting quietly without any complicated body positions and quieting the heart (mind). The whole process is done naturally, therefore there are no side effects and can be practised by anybody regardless of their race, political belief, conviction or religion.

Longevitology believes that good health is the result of chi and blood flowing smoothly and any maladjustment between them will result in illness. Disease or illness is cured when the energy acquired by the above mentioned technique enters our body and then energizes every cell, enabling the body organs to function normally. This will lead to chi and blood flowing actively thus improving circulation and metabolism, raising the levels of antibodies and improving the immune system of the body. As a result of this, the filth of a disease is expelled by the metabolic system of the body itself thus the whole healing process is natural and does not involve any medical equipment, massage, oral medication or drugs. Most importantly, there are no side effects and it is perfectly safe.

Health

Health is very important to us, health is wealth, you can do nothing without a healthy body though you have lots and lots of money. Why am I saying this here? Coz' my little sis and my friend are having this problem. Start with my lil sis 1st, the doctor diagnose her as suffering slipped disk.

Slipped Disk Overview

The disks are protective shock-absorbing pads between the bones of the spine. Although they do not actually "slip," a disk may split or rupture. This can cause the disk to fail, allowing the gel to escape into the surrounding tissue. The leaking jellylike substance can place pressure on the spinal cord or on a single nerve fiber and cause pain either around the damaged disk or anywhere along the area controlled by that nerve. This condition is also known as a herniated, ruptured, prolapsed, or, more commonly, slipped disk.

The most frequently affected area is the low back, but any disk can rupture, including those in the neck. (adopted from www.emedicinehealth.com)

According to the doctor, slipped disk normally occurs on elder people, and my little sister is far way too young to have this thing. But the truth is the truth, what can we do?? She went through the MRI (Magnetic resonance imaging), and the results came out show it is slipped disk.

Slipped Disk Causes

Factors that lead to injury from a slipped disk include aging with associated degeneration and loss of elasticity of the discs and supporting structures; improper lifting, especially if accompanied by twisting or turning; and excessive strain. Sudden forceful trauma is a more rare cause.

Slipped Disk Symptoms

The nerves of the body exit the spine at each spinal level. A herniated disk can therefore produce symptoms anywhere along the course of that nerve, though the injury and irritation of the nerve are at the spine itself (this is known as referred pain). A slipped disk can produce varying degrees of pain in the back or neck along with numbness or weakness.

  • For slipped disks in the neck - Numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the shoulder, neck, arm, or hand

  • For slipped disks in the lower back

    • Numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in the buttocks, back, legs, or feet

    • Numbness and tingling around the anus or genitals

    • Pain down the back of each leg from the buttocks to the knee (this is called sciatica)

    • Pain with movement, straining, coughing, or doing leg raises

    • Difficulty controlling bowel movements or bladder function

Now, my poor lil sis has to lie on the bed whole day as doctor said bed rest is the only thing she can do now. Walk also pain, sometimes lying also pain, I don't know what to do... I can do nothing..... haih....

Then now my friend, doctor don't even know what happen to her, she also went through the MRI, doctor said is rare case, they never see this case before, so have to take sample and send to other place and see. Her thigh swelling, walk too long will pain. Haih....

So, my friends out there, please take good care of your health. It's not fun at all having sickness, I'm seeing my lil sister suffering at home and my friend also suffering pain.
