A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
Yesterday evening, hubby announced at the eleventh hour that he wanted to bring us to Mid Valley for shopping as he had to get some stuff for a client’s function. After dinner at a Chinese restaurant near our house, we went to the shopping mall. Traffic was smooth and surprisingly, we got a nice place…
Did you know that in the olden days (and perhaps even now), the American Indians would boil gold nugget in water and give the gold water to patients to drink for a variety of health benefits? But please don’t you dare try this at home yourself! The benefits of consuming gold, in particular colloidal gold…
I felt really disturbed after reading about the case of a 20-month old baby boy who was given double dosage of meds by the pharmacist of a private hospital here in KL in yesterday’s newspapers. The pharmacist not only prescribed double dosage of fever meds to the toddler, but also double dosage of antibiotics and…
No matter how busy I may be with my work, I always make it a point to boil a pot of good soup for my kids. The Chinese believe the soups boiled for several hours are very beneficial for health. The Western also believe that chicken soups can cure colds. One of the soups that…
My life with Baby, my youngest daughter, for the first 14 months of her life was extremely bumpy, stressful and chaotic.

When Baby had a slight cough with phlegm recently, I tried to stay her away from cow’s milk. I substituted cow’s milk with soy bean milk. When I was at Mid Valley Megamall, there was a booth just outside Wellness Pharmacy and Jusco supermarket promoting the range of Biogreen organic products. The salesgirl gave us…
When I was pregnant with my 3 babies, I had threatened miscarriages and was on HCG Injections for up to 14 weeks on top of having HCG suppositories and HCG oral meds to sustain the pregnancies. With my #3, I was more relaxed and I persuaded my doctor not to let me have those HCG…
Ever since Baby was an infant, she never once took any oral meds to treat her cough or runny nose. That’s because since she was 7 weeks old, she had to take oral antibiotics everyday until she was 14 months old (that’s after the Ureteral Reimplantation surgery in May last year). Our paed has all…
