Kaedah menggoreng makanan punca barah


Terbaru: Rumusan drp kajian tentang punca barah:

Kaedah menggoreng makanan punca barah

Rumusan berdasarkan perbandingan masakan Melayu, Cina dan India

LONDON: Cara menggoreng dengan merendam dalam minyak yang banyak seperti yang selalu dilakukan di gerai tukang masak Melayu boleh meningkatkan risiko barah paru-paru, barah payu dara dan barah pundi kencing, menurut penyelidikan sepasukan saintis dari Universiti Singapura.

Pasukan penyelidik membuat rumusan selepas membandingkan kaedah memasak makanan Melayu, Cina dan India. Kajian mereka yang disiarkan dalam Journal of Environmental Monitoring, menganalisis kualiti udara di dapur tiga gerai makanan berkenaan.

Menurut saintis, kaedah menggoreng terendam yang digunakan dalam masakan Melayu membebaskan lebih banyak polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons iaitu bahan kimia penyebab barah berbanding menggoreng sambil mengacau di dapur tukang masak Cina.

Sementara di gerai makanan India, kebanyakan makanan dididihkan atau direbus, kaedah yang mengurangkan pembebasan bahan kimia itu.

Bahan kimia yang turut ditemui dalam tembakau dibebaskan apabila minyak dipanaskan sehingga suhu tinggi.

Ketua pasukan penyelidik, Dr Rajasekhar Balasubramanian berkata: “Perbandingan terhadap kaedah memasak berbeza mendapati cara menggoreng terendam membebaskan lebih banyak polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons berbanding kaedah memasak lain, yang berpunca dari suhu tinggi yang diperlukan ketika memasak dan jumlah minyak banyak yang digunakan untuk tujuan itu.

“Di gerai Melayu, makanan yang digoreng kebanyakannya berkanji. Jadi, berkemungkinan besar kentang yang digoreng juga mengeluarkan jumlah besar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, seperti di gerai makanan Melayu.”

Kajian juga mendapati pendedahan berterusan kepada minyak masak yang digunakan untuk menggoreng kentang boleh meningkatkan risiko barah.

Saintis berkata, partikel yang berpotensi mendatangkan bahaya dibebaskan ke udara apabila minyak dipanaskan sehingga mencapai suhu diperlukan untuk menggoreng kentang.

Semua minyak masak mengeluarkan partikel itu tetapi minyak sayur-sayuran paling bahaya termasuk minyak jagung dan minyak zaitun, kata penyelidik. Kentang yang digoreng mengeluarkan sejumlah polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Kajian yang disiarkan oleh Royal Society of Chemistry, menganggarkan bahawa seseorang yang kerap terdedah kepada paras tinggi kimia berkenaan mempunyai satu dalam 100 risiko menghidap barah.

Malam kelmarin, penyelidik menasihatkan tukang masak supaya memastikan dapur mereka mempunyai pengaliran udara sempurna dan sebaliknya merebus atau mengukus makanan, bukan menggoreng. – Agensi


FAKTA:
# Kaedah menggoreng makanan tingkat risiko barah paru-paru, barah payu dara dan barah pundi kencing.

# Kaedah Menggoreng bebaskan polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons yang menyebabkan barah.

# Minyak jagung dan minyak zaitun paling berisiko kerana ada banyak unsaturated arm. Unsaturated arm bila dipanaskan akan terbuka dan boleh mengambil dioxin yang terbentuk semasa proses menggoreng makanan !!

# Minyak Kelapa Dara VCO paling selamat bila menggoreng makanan sebab medium chain saturated dan tiada arm yang boleh terbuka semasa pemanasan sebab dah saturated fat!!! Berita Harian, 11/4/2006

Posted 13 April 2006 - 06:21 AM penyakit-penyakit ini dah jadi trend pulak zaman sekarang ni. kebanyakan rakyat malaysia yang berumur 45 tahun ke atas mengalami pelbagai jenis penyakit. Sebab apa?

-pencemaran air
-pencemaran udara
-pemakanan
-kurang bersenam
-tidur yang tak cukup
-tekanan hidup
-ubat dan bahan kimia
-gelombang radio

Faktor-faktor ni merupakan antara penyebab rakyat malaysia mempunyai masalah kesihatan. Kita memang tak dapat nak elak dari memakan ayam suntik, sayur yang diracun dan sebagainya. Pengambilan makanan kesihatan adalah alternatif.



 

Ubah gaya hidup elak kanser



 Kira-kira satu pertiga daripada semua jenis kanser sebenarnya boleh dicegah setiap tahun jika orang ramai mengamalkan corak pemakanan yang sihat, tidak mengambil minuman beralkohol dan lebih banyak bersenam.
Pakar Kesihatan dari Institut Penyelidikan kanser Amerika Syarikat (AICR) dan Dana Penyelidikan Kanser Dunia (WCRF) percaya bahawa membuat sedikit perubahan mudah bagi gaya hidup seharian boleh mencegah kira-kira 40 peratus kanser payu dara di Britain dan Amerika Syarikat.

Begitu juga bagi beribu-ribu kes kanser usus, perut dan prostat.

"Sungguh menyedihkan apabila melihat tahun 2011 masih ramai orang yang mati akibat kanser yang sepatutnya boleh dicegah melalui diet, mengekalkan berat badan yang sihat, aktiviti fizikal dan faktor-faktor gaya hidup yang lain," kata MArtin Wiseman, Penasihat Perubatan dan Saintifik WCRF.

 Menurut Wiseman, di China saja sebanyak 620,000 kes kanser atau 27 peratus boleh dicegah, manakala di AS sebanyak 35peratus atau 340,000 kes dan di Britain sebanyak 37 peratus.

Gaya hidup yang sihat juga dapat mencegah 61,000 kes kanser di Brazil dan 79,000 kes di Britain.

Penemuan WCRF tersebut disokong oleh Pertubuhan Kesihatan Sedunia (WHO) yang turut menyarankan bahawa kerap berenam boleh menghalang banyak penyakit seperti kanser, sakit jantung dan diabetes.

 Kanser merupakan punca kematian utama di seluruh dunia dan insidennya terus meningkat.

Setiap tahun kira-kira 12.7 juta orang didapati menghidap kanser dan 7.6 juta orang mati disebabkan penyakit yang berbentuk kanser. Terdapat kira-kira 200 jenis kanser yang diketahui.

 Mengikut Agensi Antarabangsa bagi Penyelidikan Kanser Antarabangsa (IARC), kanser akan membunuh lebih daripada 13.2 juta orang setahun menjelang tahun 2030, iaitu hampir dua kali ganda daripada jumlah yang mati pada 2008 dan majoriti kematian adalah di negara-negara yang lebih miskin.

 Sementara itu dalam kenyataan berasingan, WHO yang beribu pejabat di Geneva menyebut, kadar aktiviti fizikal yang rendah menjadi punca utama kepada anggaran 21 hingga 25 peratus kes kanser payu dara dan usus, 27 peratus bagi kes diabetes dan 30 peratus kes penyakit jantung di seluruh dunia.

 Timbalan Ketua Bahagian Sains WCRF, Rachel Thompson, berkata walaupun mesejnya mudah - iaitu jangan merokok, makan makanan yang baik dan mengekalkan berat badan yang sihat boleh membantu mengelak kebanyakan jenis kanser - namun ia sukar untuk difahami oleh orang ramai.

"Kita sudah cuba sebaik mungkin untuk sampaikan mesej tentang ini yang anda perlu makan dan jumlah ini yang sepatutnya anda lakukan senaman, tetapi masih sukar untuk difahami".

 WHO turut menyebut bahawa individu dewasa sepatutnya melakukan senaman sederhana sekurang-kurangnya 150minit seminggu.

 Ini boleh dilakukan hanya dengan berjalan kaki selama 30minit lima kali seminggu atau berbasikal ke tempat kerja setiap hari.

 Dalam pada itu Ketua Yayasan Paru-Paru Sedunia, Peter Baldini juga menyeru semua kerajaan di seluruh dunia memperkenalkan undang-undang bebas rokok dan menaikkan harga rokok.

Ini kerana rokok telah membunuh berjuta-juta perokok setiap tahun dan kanser paru-paru berkaitan dengan tabiat merokok juga telah membunuh beribu-ribu orang yang tidak merokok tetapi terdedah kepada asap rokok.

 Memang tidak ada peluru ajaib yang dapat menyembuhkan semua bentuk kanser, tetapi kita ada peluang dan obligasi untuk melindungi diri dan orang tersayang daripada apa juga bentuk kanser dalam apa juga cara," kata Baldini.

Tip Cegah Barah



Sekarang ni atau lebih tepat zaman sekarang banyak sangat kita dengar orang kena kanser atau barah, macam-macam kanser, kanser hati, kanser usus, kanser prostat, kanser payudara dan macam-macam kanser lah. Baru-baru ni, masuk berita pelakon veteran Kuswadinata terlantar tenat disebabkan kanser usus yang dihidapi.

Kenapa aku cakap zaman sekarang?? Kalau dulu agak jarang la kita dengar pasal kanser-kanser ni, yang selalu kita dengar, kencing manis, sakit jantung, darah tinggi, tu pun penghidapnya sememangnya dah berumur. Sesuai lah dengan daya tahan tubuh yang dah lama beroperasi... Yang kanser ni kadang kita dengar orang muda pun dah ada yang kena kanser ni. Kenapa yer? 1 gaya hidup, 1 lagi pemakanan lah kot. Pemakanan sekarang banyak sangat yang dicampur itu la ini la, asid itu la asid ni la, contoh paling senang makanan segera. Sebab tu orang-orang tua pesan jangan selalu sangat makan makanan segera... Ada logik?

Kat bandar-bandar aku tak tahu la macam mana tahap kesihatan orang-orang yang berumur ni, kalau kat kampung aku tengok orang tua yang berumur 70 80 tahun sihat lagi, cergas lagi. Sebabnya faktor pemakanan la kot...

pH Drop



pH Drop adalah cecair yang digunakan bagi dititiskan ke dalam air minum lalu kononnya boleh menjadikan air minuman anda itu menjadi beralkali. Ramai yang mengeluh mungkin ditipu oleh syarikat2 pengeluar pH Drop yang sentiasa saja rakus mengambil kesempatan mencari untung daripada anda sebagai penderita sakit kanser !!


Tidak lagi. Ketahui hak anda yang anda boleh menguji pH air anda di Pejabat Kesihatan Daerah (PKD) anda yang berada berdekatan yang terletak dalam setiap daerah yang anda berada. Unit PKD yang menguji adalah unit Kawalan Mutu Air Minuman (KMAM) yang diketuai oleh seorang Inspektor Kesihatan atau PPKP.

Caranya mudah saja iaitu dengan menulis surat permohonan rasmi kepada Pegawai Kesihatan Daerah di daerah anda berada bagi memohon untuk menguji air yang anda beli samada benar beralkali ataupun anda merasa ditipu oleh syarikat syarikat pengeluar pH Drop yang sentiasa rakus mahu mencari keuntungan walhal air yang mereka jual pH sebenarnya adalah berasid !!! Sekiranya ada PKD yang enggan menguji air anda walaupun dengan surat permohonan rasmi secara berhemah telah anda keluarkan, maka anda boleh membuat aduan keengganan mereka ini di laman sesawang Biro Pengaduan Awam.

Jangan lupa kongsikan ujian anda di laman ini untuk pengetahuan pesakit barah yang lain.




What Are pH Drops?.
pH drops are a potent powerful solution that when added to water dramatically increases the pH of that water. To stay properly hydrated it is absolutely essential to drink between 3-5 litres of water per day - so the quality of this water is critical. If you drink three litres of acidic water every day you will not be doing your body any favours at all! pH drops, at the very least raise the pH of the water from around 6-6.5 up to between 7.5-9.5 (varies by brand). Depending on the brand you buy, you might also get an extra benefit, for instance, PuripHy also neutralises any acid microforms in the water such as yeast, bacteria and mycotoxins to give you a high pH, pure drinking water. Using pH drops in your drinking water can have a profound effect on your health and it is one of those supplements where you really notice the difference, straight away!

What Are pH Drops?

stick

The contents of each varies, but it is generally a highly potent concentrationof alkaline minerals including Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Bicarbonate.  Ph ion’s pH Booster Ionic Solution also contains 72 extra ionic minerals to help ionise the water.


PuripHy:

Dr Young’s 4th Generation pH Drops – PuripHy are, in my opinion, the best pH drops on the market today. They say you get what you pay for and this could not be truer than with these little drops. However, even though PuripHy retail slightly more expensively than other brands, because they are so potent you only need to use five drops, meaning that each bottle lasts waaay longer than other similar brands. PuripHy also not only increases the pH of the water it is added to, but it also neutralises acid toxins in the water including yeasts, molds and bacterias. This unique product is my product of choice for pH drops.

Best For: those who want the best.

pH Booster:

pHion Balance’s pH Booster is totally unique in that it has a two step formula. Step One alkalises the water, much like other pH drops – but Step Two actually ionises the water with a blend of 72 ionic minerals. The outcome of this ionisation is that the water clusters and becomes ‘wetter’, basically meaning that it becomes more hydrating to the body, as the body has to do less work to absorb and use it.

Best For: those who want ionisation as well as alkalisation!

Plasma pH:

Alkalvision’s Plasma pH is a standard pH drop, in that it increases the pH of the water – however it is great for the more budget conscious alkaliser. We love Alkavision because it is still a great, potent product. Other cheaper pH drops are often so weak that you have to use 15-20 drops to get a decent increase in pH – but with Alkavision you still only need 10 drops. OK, it doesn’t have the ionising capacity of pH Booster or the purification skills of PuripHy – but if you just want to get your

pH up you can do far worse at this price.

Best For: the price conscious alkaliser who still wants a quality

pH hit!

Which pH drops are best?

All of the pH drops we sell at energiseforlife.com have been tried and tested by the Energise staff over the course of the last five to six years. They are all great for different reasons (see above). I (Ross) am personally using Dr Young’s PuripHy at the moment, but I also like pH Booster. Callum is also a PuripHy fan at the moment but we’ve both used Alkavision in the past and have like that too. At the end of the day, all of the pH drops we sell are of the highest quality and they are all:

1. A potent source of alkalinity

2. Will structure the water to make it more hydrating

3. Will increase the pH of tap water to at least 8

So which is best for you depends on your own taste and how the pH drops work for you. But you can feel

safe in the knowledge that whichever of our pH drops you try – you will be getting full value for money and

the very best, most effective and potent pH drops on earth.


Why use pH drops?

pH drops, at a base level, all serve to do one thing extremely well: they increase the alkalinity of your drinking water. However, each brand also has a different benefits:

PuripHy: also detoxifies the water of acidic impurities such as yeasts,

mycotoxins, molds and bacteria. PuripHy is also extra potent so each serve is only five drops –giving better value for money.

pH Booster: pH Booster ionises the water as well as alkalising it – which may improve your cells’ ability to conduct electrochemical signals.

Plasma pH: uses their unique blend (they call Vital Force Technology) to ensure you only need to use ten drops per litre, again offering great value for money.


Do I need to use pH drops if I have a filter?

In short, yes – the ideal scenario is that you use an ioniser (such as a Jupiter) to ionise and purify the water and then add the pH drops. Ionisers do two things. Firstly they filter the water. The level of filtration is superior to that of a standard water filter. Once filtered, the water then passes over electronic plates which separate positively charged (acidic) ions from negatively charged (alkaline) ones. A further benefit to the separation process of ionizing is that with non-ionised water minerals form clumps in water. The ionising process reduces the size of these clumps, which means that the remaining, negatively charged (alkalising) minerals (in smaller clumps) can be more easily assimilated and metabolised within the body. So, in short – the ioniser separates the water into acidic and alkaline, filters out impurities and toxins and

clusters the water to make it easier to metabolise.

pH drops substantially increase the pH of the water.

When you add pH drops to water without filtering through an ioniser you still get high pH water – but the acidic mineral complexes remain present. The highly alkalising solution that you add has an over-riding effect on the water’s pH – but it is not ionized and therefore you don’t get the other benefits listed above. Ionising also dramatically reduces (a good thing) the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) of water (ORP is

how the antioxidant level of a substance is measured. The lower the ORP the greater antioxidants potential of the substance.). This also promotes the alkalising and de-toxifying effects of the water that the ionizer produces.


What do they taste like?

pH drops essentially have zero flavour. However, because they change the structure of the water (especially the pH ion pH Booster) they change what is known as the ‘mouthfeel’ of the water. Water with pH

Booster added tastes a little ‘thicker’. PuripHy and Alkavision have less of this effect and you generally can’t tell if your water has them added or not.


How many drops do I need?

This varies by product:

PuripHy: 5 drops per litre

pH Booster: 26 drops of Bottle 1 (ionising), 26 drops of Bottle 2 (pH boosting)


Alkavision: 10 drops per litre


I strongly recommend you do not exceed this dose per litre!


How long do they last?

Again, this varies by product, but as a rough guide, pH Booster & Alkavision will last approximately one month, whereas because PuripHy is more potent (and you only need five drops per litre) it lasts around six

to seven weeks. This is based on each product being used to treat three litres of water per day. In terms of use-by dates - pH drops last almost forever! Of course, use by dates will vary but I challenge you to own one long enough for it to go out of date!


Can alkaline water affect my medications?

I get this question a lot. My honest answer is – I am not allowed to answer this question! Legally it is impossible! And even if I could it would depend on the medication in question! I strongly recommend you

seek a nutritionally aware and informed medical professional and discuss your specific medication with them.


Can I add pH drops to hot water?

Hot water does not affect the efficacy of pH drops – so feel free to add to herbal teas.


What is in pH drops?

The contents of each varies, but it is generally a highly potent concentration of alkaline minerals including Sodium Bicarbonate, Magnesium Bicarbonate, potassium Bicarbonate and Calcium Bicarbonate. pHion’s pH Booster Ionic Solution contains 72 extra ionic minerals to help ionise the water.


How alkaline do they make the water?

In the testing we have done, each of these products raised the pH of tap water up to a level of between pH 8 and 9.5


Can I overdose on pH drops?

I strongly, strongly recommend that you only use the suggested amounts on each product’s label. Basically, yes you can overdose. Never ingest without diluting to the correct proportions as per the manufacturers instructions & never be tempted to add more pH drops than recommended. If diluting it would be difficult to overdose to the point of illness, but definitely not impossible. Any amount of overuse will have an adverse effect on your body.

Can I add green drinks to smoothies or other drinks?

You sure can! Powdered greens can be added to any other beverages – but what you add them to is down to you! I personally add green powder to my juiced vegetables, veggie smoothies and some soups too.

You can’t just add pH drops or green powders to acid-forming drinks like protein shakes to make them more alkalising (there is a scientific reason that is beyond this FAQ) but this will at least increase the nutritional

content. But remember, nutrients are less bioavailable (absorbable by the body) when they are consumed with acid-forming foods.


Do green drinks make the water alkaline?

Green powder, on it’s own will not make the water more alkaline, but once consumed the green powder will have a highly alkaline effect on the body. The water you drink greens in should ideally be of a pH of 8

or above (optimally pH 9.5) otherwise you are consuming the nutrients from the greens in an acid-forming solution, thus minimising the effects of the greens.


Are green drinks antioxidants?

Green drinks are rich in antioxidants from the phytonutrients (nutrients from plant sources) including the spinach, broccoli, capsicum, cucumber, carrots, grasses etc. Dr Young’s pHruits & pHoliage has been specially formulated to contain less of the grasses and more antioxidants (and anti-aging) from ingredients such as blueberry, papaya, pomegranate, cranberry, noni and acai (note, the antioxidant and nutrient content of these plant sources has been extracted in the formulation giving all of the alkalising benefits and none of the acid forming sugar).


Should I get a grass mix or just wheatgrass?

I always receommend a mixture of ingredients to guarantee a good range of nutrients from a wide variety of sources. A grass mix is always more beneficial overall than a straight wheatgrass or barley grass products. I do still use single-grass greens on occasion however, as wheatgrass and barley grass have extremely high chlorophyll and other specific nutrients – so I will use these when I want to get a potent, stronger hit of these.


How are green drinks made?

While the process is slightly different across the different greens we have, they generally follow a process to keep the nutrients as safe and in-tact as possible. Generally speaking, they are created using low-heat

dehydration (80 degrees Fahrenheit) and ground into a fine powder before being taken through an ionization process to make the powder electrically active. Beware of products that are created using flash or

high-heat dehydration.

Are capsules less effective than powder?

Yes capsules are as effective in terms of the nutritional content. To get the full benefits though, ensure you

drink plenty (2-3 litres/day) pure water that is around 9.5pH.


Are there any side effects of green drinks?

No. You will feel more health, energy and vitality – but there are no side effects. When you are first starting out, however, and especially if you are coming from a fairly acidic lifestlye – start slow! As mentioned

below, sudden high dosages of nutrients can cause feelings of nausea (the same would happen with strong vitamin tablets or even a vegetable juice) as the body cannot cope with the sudden density of nutrients

while you still have acid overgrowths (such as yeasts) clogging your system and it puts short term stress on the liver and digestive system. These are not lasting or damaging effects and only last a few minutes.

If you do feel nauseous, just have a snack – it goes away immediately.


I had a green drink and it made me feel nauseous, why?

It is best to start off slow and work up. Try to drink around 1 litre per day for the first week, then two in the second week. You will start feeling benefits immediately - more energy and alertness. People are often

tempted to immediately start drinking a large amount, as they feel the initial benefits. However, this could end up with your body quickly detoxing. Although this is not a problem, it could cause cold like symptoms or nausea while your body gets rid of the built up waste in the system. It is better to build up slowly and over time the extra nutrition will help detoxify and rebuild your body at a gentler pace.


Do green drinks ‘go off’?

Once you have mixed a green drink it will only last an hour or so before it starts to taste different and you lose some of the nutritional benefits.

In the tub, the powders have a very long shelf life. As an example, in Jan 2010 shipped a tub of Doc Broc from my warehouse in the UK to my home in Australia and the use by date on this tub is 23rd September

2011. While I cannot guarantee that all tubs will have at least a certain number of months of usage left, we sell through all of this stock very quickly so our stock is always fresh. You should get at least a year of use-by date.

not just hybrid but empty as in grown with chemical fertilizer in dead soil EMPTY of minerals , mineral rich soil make mineralized plants , we mush grow our own mineral rich food as much as drink filtered mineralized alkalized water.

Alkaline water is only HALF the truth when it comes to how to stay completely healthy and live a very long life. The other part is, which most people don't know yet, that we were supposed to consume ELECTRIC FOOD, not hybrid food, which is dead. Our bodies not only need alkaline water but also electric food because it is an electric body. Any type of food that has been changed from its original state is considered a hybrid. Over 95% of the food consumed in the U.S. is hybrid.

You are right. Some things are acidic to test beforehand, such as lemons, but are alkaline forming in the body. This video doesn't quite tell the whole story, and is also slightly deceptive. You can drink a mix of sodium bicarb with vinegar, and will cancel each other out before you drink (acid plus alkaline, it is more neutral) , but is extremely alkaline forming. I know from experience testing my own ph.

THANK GOODNESS I JUST WATCHED THIS!!!! I can't afford these crazy alkalizing machines or distilled water etc etc. It's hard to find honest information that is not a scam.

this acid is not what he's talking about... it's about pH level... the food breaks down with stomach acid but in the blood remains alkaline (or acidic) meaning high or low pH (potential of hydrogen) . hydrogen is a key element in life force... it's all quite esoteric in many ways if you try to look at the real causes and not simply the effects that most doctors / scientists measure. but that's a digression... there is much to explore / learn hope you can continue to seek and find.

radiation kills everything in your body it comes into contact with i have researched cancer and cures for years. Chemotherapy causes cancer and kills everything as well, Cancer has been cured for years its just people dont listen to people that know whats going on NCI is a lie, FDA is a Lie WAKEUP cancer donations is a scam damit people THC, DHA, Baking soda and molasses, Antineoplastons (ANP), essiac tea just the top cures that work there are many more over 80 years ago CANCER was Cured.

Great ! my Mom had similar deal.. only she is an avid 'believer' in establishment medical-ites' nevertheless... they gave her pill to shrink the tumor in order to be able to remove it easier... if they can shrink the tumor.. why not use that method and leave it at that ? ? they love to milk folks' money especially if they have good insurance... it's an amazingly deep pit of shameful manipulation the way i see it... i doubt i'm wrong.. but i'm sad about that too.. still trust love.

My wife had a cyst in her right breast the size of a golf ball. The doctor said in was benign yet suggested a biopsy which she refused. She has addressed it with homeopathy, raw foods and juices and by avoiding processed and cooked foods as much as possible. It's now barely detectable..like the size of a pea.

cancer is a symptom of the immune system that is breaking down." I have read and heard more and more about a vegan/alkaline diet that cures and prevents cancer. 86% of all illnesses are related to stress. Amazing! Chill out everyone! Meditate

I developed uterine cancer. I have lived a high stress life style due to being abused since childhood. I also have Chronic Fatigue syndrome and Fibromyalgia. I got a hysterectomy at the age of 65. I also have carbohydrate cravings that I have not yet been able to heal other than a few weeks at a time. The surgery was messed up and I had to get a colon resection. I still have some visceral pain. So to prevent any more development of malignancies I will use things to become more alkaline. Thanks.

Yes! Being more alkaline will help you! Thats why fruits and herbs are the real super foods on the planet.

Chemotherapy cure rates 2.7%, would you decide to cure yourself with something giving you 2.7% chance of survival...?? Cancer doesn't kill you, chemotherapy does

SETIAP kali menonton filem Seniman Bujang Lapok, pasti kita akan ketawa melihat gelagat seorang lelaki beristeri dua yang menginap di sebelah bilik P.Ramlee, Aziz Sattar dan S.Shamsuddin. Malah lelaki yang memegang watak Abang Kus itu juga turut dibelasah oleh P.Ramlee, namun gara-gara watak itulah nama Kuswadinata diingati hingga hari ini.

Kini semuanya hanya tinggal kenangan kerana pelakon itu telah menghembus nafas terakhir pada pukul 5.07 petang, di Hospital Ampang, Selangor, 16 Februari 2013 kerana beberapa penyakit termasuk kanser usus dan sakit buah pinggang.

Kuswadinata atau nama sebenarnya Kuswadi Bujang, 75, sewaktu ditemu bual dahulu pernah berkata, Allahyarham Tan Seri P.Ramlee adalah guru yang banyak mengajar dan membimbingnya dalam bidang lakonan.

Pelakon yang dilahirkan pada 8 September 1938 berkata, namanya mula diingati oleh penonton-penonton filem Melayu menerusi filem Seniman Bujang Lapok yang diterbitkan pada 1961.

Nama Kuswadinata yang terhasil daripada gabungan nama salah seorang bapa saudaranya iaitu Nata yang berasal dari Pontianak, Kalimantan seperti ibunya. Sementara bapanya adalah dari Rembau, Negeri Sembilan.

Katanya, setelah berlakon beberapa filem sebagai pembantu, barulah dia dapat watak berat di samping P.Ramlee menerusi filem Antara Dua Darjat pada tahun 1959.

Menurut Kuswadinata, dia akan terus berlakon sehingga akhir hayat kerana dunia lakonan sudah sebati dalam jiwanya dan kerana itu jugalah dia pernah berlakon filem antarabangsa seperti Little Adventure, Pretty Girls dan Beyond Rangoon.

Dia memulakan kerjaya sebagai pelakon di Malay Film Production, Jalan Ampas selepas menghadiri uji bakat oleh pengarah Datuk L. Krishnan dan Datuk Mahmud Jun pada tahun 1957.

Waktu itu saya memang gelabah macam dalam filem Seniman Bujang Lapok. Bayangkan dalam ramai yang datang uji bakat, hanya saya seorang budak baru. Sudahlah baru, tidak ada pengalaman berlakon pula. Yang ada cuma minat. Tetapi saya bernasib baik kerana diterima berlakon," katanya.

Lakonan pertamanya adalah sebagai pelakon pembantu dalam filem Orang Lichin di samping seniman Datuk S. Roomai Nor dengan memegang watak sebagai seorang pembunuh.

Selepas beberapa kali berlakon sebagai pembantu dalam beberapa filem, dia ditawarkan untuk memegang watak berat dalam filem Antara Dua Darjat bersama P. Ramlee, Saadiah dan Ahmad Nesfu pada tahun 1959, sebagai Engku Hassan.

Pelakon yang dilahirkan dan dibesarkan di Singapura itu merupakan pelakon seangkatan Tan Sri Jins Shamsudin, Datuk Mustafa Maarof dan Datuk Aziz Satar.

Lain-lain filem lakonannya ialah Indera Bangsawan (1961) dan Panji Semarang, KLU (1999), Kaki Bakar (1995), Tarik-Tarik (1993), Sikit Punya Gila, Jejak Bertapak (1980-an), Ibu Mertuaku (1962), Seniman Bujang Lapok (1961), Kaca Permata dan Aku Mahu Hidup (1970).

Dia yang pernah dipilih sebagai penerima Anugerah Pelakon Veteran di Festival Filem Malaysia ke-20 pada 2007, semasa hayatnya turut menghidap penyakit pendarahan usus kecil dan kanser kelenjar sejak beberapa tahun lalu.


Industri perfileman negara kehilangan bintang veteran disegani Kuswadinata yang telah menghembuskan nafas terakhir kira-kira jam 5.07 petang, 16 Februari lalu di Hospital Ampang. Pemergiannya berpunca daripada pendarahan usus kecil dan barah kelenjar yang dihadapi sejak 4 tahun lalu. Selain daripada itu, Allahyarham juga mengidap kanser prostat dan kerosakan buah pinggang sehingga mengganggu pembuangan air kecil secara normal. Masih segar dalam ingatan kita muka tampan pelakon veteran Allahyarham Kuswadinata yang mengenakan pakaian askar Melayu ketika muncul di dalam filem Ibu Mertuaku pada 1962. Meskipun kemunculannya hanyalah sepintas lalu tanpa berdialog, namun impak penghayatannya ketika memegang karakter Abang Bidin yang diganding bersama pelakon, Zaiton Abdullah sebagai Chombi, cukup menyentuh perasaan. Mari kita mengimbau kembali beberapa keping gambar sepanjang Allahyarham berada di dalam aktiviti seni dan kepada semua pembaca MiG Online, mari kita bersama-sama sedekahkan surah Al-Fatihah.
