Smoke Out of Nowhere

jhoijoii — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 15:58:43 +0000

Have you ever experienced while walking, drinking coffee or just plain sitting with a friend or just by yourself in a public place, suddenly someone would puff their smoke and you just find yourself inhaling that dreadful fume? I bet so you did. It’s so irritating right? [its not that I hate those people but i hate the smoke that was released in the air] Yet you can’t do nothing about it especially to Filipinos or other people who just seem too nice to say what don’t they like “bro, can you smoke somewhere else?” or if they are offended with the act. Unlike me when someone smokes I do a fake cough so that will enable the smoker to hear it so that he/she will know; funny right? but it gives them the idea that they bother other people with their smoke and hopefully feel ashamed of it. I’m not mad at smokers per se the thing here is just if you can’t help smoking then do it where you can’t bother other people who doesn’t.

As a biologist I know that Smoking can cause dreadful effects over a human body…. [Break screeches] wait yeah, yeah; yeah I know this statement is so overrated but how bad it could be that keep these people puffing that cigar. Can it be not that bad? I know some people puff smoke for a reason; some puff it because of the cold weather, some feels something funny may happen in their stomach when they don’t, while the most pointless of all the reasons I’ve heard is that they do it to look cool.

A cigar contains an average of 4700 chemicals. 200 are poisonous while 43 are carcinogenic. To name some of these chemicals includes cyanide, acetone, carbon monoxide [product of incomplete combustion], arsenic, nicotine [causes the addiction], tar, ammonia and a lot more.

Here in the Philippines there are variety of cigar companies that exist one of them is Marlboro which is the largest bought cigarette brand and unfortunately only has a text warning about cigarette smoking, not like in other countries such as the US and Australia wherein they indicate picture of dreadful effects of smoking internally and externally in a human body and it helps promote awareness to all the populace.

Yet everyday a significant number of people especially teens begin to smoke and regrettably becoming addicted to it in the long run.

If we can’t eradicate this addiction probably at least we can play it down. Don’t we? It’s so funny that I’m using a lot of rhetorical questions here, but I only do it because you [reader] are the only one who can decide, agree or negate for yourself and with my dispositions. But yeah the quality of our life will and always depends on our lifestyle so I say if we want a life well lived lets think about what’s best for us especially with our own selves because how can we love others if we don’t love ourselves.

Embryology – Species Recognition [what is this?] explained

jhoijoii — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:05:41 +0000

The species recognition concept involves in the subject “embryology” where the issue involves animals and the like that undergoes external fertilization [outside the womb]

Example the frogs, frogs dont have internal fertilization as we mammals do but they lay their eggs in the water while the male frogs fertilies the layed eggs. But the question is, frogs are not the sole animal species that lays their egg externally in this case in the water, of course we also have other species such as fishes and sea urchins.

Sperms from male [ex. sea urchin] recognizes the egg they have to fertilize by “CHEMOTAXIS” where in the eggs of the same species {ex. sea urchin} releases this chemical in the case of sea urchin the chemical is called “Resact” wherein sea urchins are the only one who can recognize it Thus the sperm travelling in the water wouldnt be somewhat lost in finidng the egg of their species they have to fertilize. Each species have their own specific chemical that is unique within themselves.

Appendix – Is it beneficial or just another nuisance

jhoijoii — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:02:39 +0000

Just late 2007 and early 2008
The use of appendix was discovered [Check on the DISCOVER science journal issue Jan]

Every human body have their own good and bad bacteria living in their stomachs and take note they are natural inhabitants of our system. But when bad bacteria over populates the good bacteria can be due to infection and what not you may notice that we experience diarrhea or some random fluid disposals – it is our process of flushing the excess bad bacteria out of our system. While this happens it is unavoidable for the good bacteria to be flushed away too and as we know good bacteria are essential in the system. In the process of flushing the nutrients also can be flushed out.

So to replace these good bacteria…
The appendix replaces the lost good bacteria

The appendix serves as a reservoir of good bacteria

the appendix is not involved in the digestion of any type of food or what not but it is there to maintain homeostasis in the digestive system where the bacteria it posses helps in the final stage of digestion and to maintain proper excretion and absorption of food and nutrients.

Stem Cell the Promise and the Price

jhoijoii — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 15:50:37 +0000

What is a stem cell?

>>Stem cells are unspecialized cells that are capable of self renewal. It has also the ability to become specialized cells such as heart, lung, kidney cells etc. by introduction to specific organ or place in the body. But the effectivity depends on what type of stem cells will be used is it embryonic or adult. Though at any rate the body who will accept the stemcells may experience rejection of the introduced cells in the body.

What is your opinion on using embryonic stem cells in research/medical treatment?

>>>If you have to choose which works best. it is definitely the embryonic stem cells compared to the adult stem cells eventhough there are moral issues on the use of e-stemcells.

The only place where you can get an e-stemcell is from the blastocyst stage of a fertilized egg and sperm cell and in order to attain it the life of the fertilized egg should be terminated Thus the moral issue of “murder” of an innocent being is involved now.

[though they say e-stemcells can be obtained from the umbilical cord of a newly born baby - this statement is absolutely false because the stemcells from he umbilical cord is already differentiated to a certain individual which is the new born baby thus it is already a cndiered an adult stem cell] Embryonic stem cell resrearch is good.. no… GREAT but if you have to consider morals im not for it but if you think for practicality for future the future human race then It ok.. For me i think im gonna pass researching about e-stemcells

What is your opinion on using adult stem cells in research/medical treatment?

>>>Im totally on for the use of adult stem cells, no moral issues to solve involved, though u can have problems manipulating it because theres a minimum chance rate of cell division than the e-stemcells, difficulty in isolation and they are few compared to e-stemcells.

What is your opinion on using in-vitro multiplied stem cells in medical treatment?

>>>In vitro stemcells are ok as long as its from an adult stem cell.

Should stem cell research be federaly funded?
>>> yes it should be funded so that scientists, doctors and the like can further study the use of stem cells because stem cells would really help individuals who are ill. If they coulld perfect this innovation then people may live longer than a hundred years old while lets say when you reach 90 you’ll say to yourself Wow! im still young and you wont be needing to retire yet..

Diet – Blood Type AB

jhoijoii — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 14:46:37 +0000

BLOOD TYPE AB

ABs blood is a combination of both A and B group blood types. ABs also has weak stomach acid and can fluctuate to be like type B which can be programmed to eat meat, but in moderate amount. Like Bs Chicken irritates the blood and the digestive tracts of ABs while Tofu can be a good source of protein Nuts, seeds, beans and legumes present a mixed picture for Type ABs. Eat nuts and seeds in small amounts and with vigilance.

ABs can tolerate small amounts of dairy and wheat but the inner kernel because it can cause acid formation in the muscle tissues that can cause slackness and sprain thus slow down motility and activity. To reduce acidity on the muscles after eating wheat ABs should balance it with alkaline based fruits [you can identify if a fruit is alkaline is during its unripe stage where it doesn’t taste sour at all] such as banana, melon and water melon. ABs diet should comprise more of rice which they could benefit more than pasta.

With ABs weak immune system it will be higly beneficial if they would thrive more on vegetables which are known to be high with phytochemicals and anti oxidants that can boost the immune system. Also to eliminate mucous during sleeping and to cleanse body system ABs should drink a glass of warm water with fresh squeezed juice of lemon before starting the day,.

Diet – Blood Type B

jhoijoii — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:19:41 +0000

BLOOD TYPE B

Type Bs are people are known to have an omnivore diet. These people are more prone to immune-system disorders such as Multiple sclerosis, lupus and chronic fatigue syndrome.

To avoid weight gain Bs should avoid or minimize eating corn, lentil, peanuts, sesame seeds, buckwheat and wheat. These foods have different lectin that affect the efficiency of the metabolic process, resulting in fatigue, fluid retention, and hypoglycemia. The gluten lectin in wheat germ and whole wheat products also adds to the problems cause by other metabolism-slowing foods.

Type Bs should also avoid Chicken for their muscle contains a blood agglutinating lectin for type Bs that show aggression to the bloodstream which may further lead to stroke and immune disorders. Should also avoid all shellfish for it contains lectins that are disruptive with type Bs but should thrive on ocean fish.

Type B is the sole blood type that can enjoy a diet of dairy products. And just like Type Os Wheat also cannot be tolerated with type B. The lectin n the wheat decreases the efficiency of insulin that is responsible with the utilization of fat. Rye also contains a lectin that settles in the vascular system that may further cause blood disorders or blockage of the veins and arteries thus can cause stroke.

Likewise with Os, Bs can also gain their weight especially when they eat Corn and Buckwheat that cause sluggishness of metabolism, insulin irregularity, fluid retention and fatigue.

Fruits and vegetables are commonly tolerated by Bs and should be taken generously. But words to the wise Bs should permanently reduce tomatoes in their diet [if they can] or better yet remove it because tomatoes irritate the stomach lining that can cause abnormal digestion of food [the only fruit that should be eliminated in a B’s diet].

Diet – Blood Type A

jhoijoii — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 13:34:25 +0000

Blood Type A Diet

People with blood type A have low acid content in their stomach that gives them a hard time digesting meat as a result they experience sluggishness. As are also prone to diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and diabetes.

Due to Type As slow digestion of meat wherein we mostly get our protein supply, As should get their protein supply from beans, nuts and tofu but not milk and some dairy products for it is also poorly digested by As. Yet Yogurt, Mozzarella, Feta, Goat cheese, Goat milk, Kefir, Ricotta, and String cheese are OK and can tolerate small amounts of fermented dairy products such as yogurt, kefir, nonfat sour cream, and cultured dairy products but not the rest unmentioned.

As should also thrive more on vegetarian diet which involves veggies and alkaline based fruits for these are known to have a lot of minerals, enzymes and antioxidants that prevent oxidation in our body. Oxidation is the one responsible to the development of diseases. Preventing oxidation means prevention of life threatening diseases. Same with type Os, As are also sensitive with Lectin that are found in cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Any person who undergoes type As diet will surely reduce weight faster than usual especially to those who are accustomed to eating meat, once they eliminate meat from their diet at the same time one’s immune system can be developed further that will inhibit development of diseases mentioned.

Diet – Blood Type “O”

jhoijoii — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 02:08:17 +0000

Blood Type O Diet

In general people who posses the blood type O usually and practically are known to be acidic in nature, that’s why their diet should be high in animal protein [meat] while simultaneously having a regular intense exercise. Type Os usually don’t do well with dairy products and or the condition is also known as being lactose intolerant.

For blood type Os success in weight loss is the avoidance of grains, breads and beans. The gluten found in wheat products interferes with the insulin efficiency slows down metabolic rate while the Lectin found in the variety of beans deposits in the muscles make them less charged for physical activities thus can cause weight gain. Lectin also deposits in the joints that can and may cause arthritis and osteo arthritis. Regarding fruits Os should thrive on alkaline based fruits such as melon, watermelon, plums and bananas.

Another factor is Type Os’ low level of thyroid hormone that plays a big role in metabolism. It is advised to avoid food such as cabbage, Brussels, cauliflower, mustard green that can affect thyroid function negatively, and is suggested to eat vegetables that are high in Vitamin K that helps which helps in clotting factor. It is also recommended that if a person came from an African Ancestry they should eliminate dairy and eggs altogether. Hmm that’s why Simon from the band blue’s throat inflames when he eats eggs. .

What do Men think and What Women should somehow realize

jhoijoii — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:28:35 +0000

Guys don’t care if you’re friends with
other guys.

But when you’re sitting next to us,
and some random guy walks into the
room and you jump up and tackle him,
without even introducing us, yeah, it
pisses us off.

It doesn’t help if you sit there and
talk to him for ten minutes without
even acknowledging the fact that we’re
still there.

We don’t care if a guy calls OR TEXTS
you, but at 2 in the morning we do get
a little concerned.

Nothing is that important at 2 a.m.
that it can’t wait
till the morning.

Also, when we tell you you’re pretty/
beautiful/ gorgeous/
cute/ stunning, we freaking mean it.

Don’t tell us we’re wrong.
We’ll stop trying to convince you.

The sexiest thing about a girl is
confidence.

Yeah, you can quote me.

Don’t be mad when we hold the door
open. Take Advantage of the mood I’m
in.

let us pay for you!
don’t “feel bad”
We enjoy doing it.
It’s expected.

Smile and say “thank you.”

Kiss us when no one’s watching.
If you kiss us when you know
somebody’s looking, we’ll be more
impressed.

You don’t have to get dressed up for
us.

If we’re going out with you in the
first place, you don’t have to feel
the need to
wear the shortest skirt you have or
put on every kind of makeup you own.

We like you for who you are and not
what you are.
honestly, i think a girl looks more
beautiful when she’s just in her pj’s.
or my
shirt and boxers, not all dolled up

Don’t take everything we say
seriously.

Sarcasm is a beautiful thing. See the
beauty in it.

Don’t get angry easily.

Stop using magazines/media as your
bible.

“Don’t talk about how hot Chris Brown,
Brad Pitt, or Jesse McCartney is in
front of us”.
It’s boring, and we don’t care. You
have friends for that.

Whatever happened to the
word “handsome”/”beautiful”

i’d be utterly stunned by a girl who
greeted me
with “Hey handsome!” instead of “Hey
baby/ stud/ cutie/ sexy” or whatever
else you can think of.
on the other hand I’m not saying i
wouldn’t like it ether ; )

Girls, I cannot stress this enough: if
you aren’t being treated right by a
guy, won’t wait for him to change.
ditch his sorry ASS,he’s a disgrace to
the male population and find someone
who will treat you with utter respect.

Someone who will honor your morals.

Someone who will make you smile when
you’re at your lowest.

Someone who will care for you even
when you make mistakes.

Someone who will love you, no matter
how bad you make them feel.

Someone who will stop what they’re
doing just to look you in the
eyes….and say “i love you” ..and
actually mean it.

Give the nice guys a chance.

Every Guy who isn’t a jerk will agree
with this

*Holding Hands
Girls :If you want to hold his hand,
gently bump into it a couple of
times.
Guys : Grab it if it happens more than
once.

*Cuddling
Girls : When you want to cuddle with
him, tell him you’re cold
Guys : Automatically move closer to
her.

*Movies
Girls : During a movie, if he puts his
arm around you, tilt your head on his
shoulder
Guys : Lift her chin up and kiss her.

*Loving each other
Guys : When she tells you she loves
you, look deep into her eyes, give her
a peck on the lips, and tell her you
love her
too… And mean it.

*Laying below the stars
Girls : When you’re both laying under
the stars, put your head on his chest
and close your eyes as you listen to
his steady heart beat
Guys : Whisper in her ear and link
your hands with hers.

Diet – According to Your Blood Type

jhoijoii — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 06:49:05 +0000

Have you been in the situation wherein no matter what kind of diet you undergo it seems that everything seem to be hopeless, It’s just that everything doesn’t work no matter what you do. What could be the problem? Is it about the right diet? Or is it just you, yes you, the system within your body.

And yet again, have you ever thought, could your blood type has something to do with your weight gain and loss style. The answer is absolutely YES! Your blood type does play a role in your weight gain and loss. So whenever you want to gain or lose weight. Just follow the guidelines that will be discussed further and you’ll realize why some of you are lactose, carbohydrate intolerant while some are just otherwise and some can be vegetarians while other cannot.

Inside every human body dozens of chemical reactions occur, as we focus on the chemical reaction that occurs in our digestive system between the food that we eat and our blood – yet blood type is inherited genetically from our parents. It so happen that this type of reaction is not just any chemical reaction that occurs that happens on other systems. Proteins such as Lectins which can be found in foods have agglutinating properties that affects your blood which causes the reaction.

When a lectin containing food that you ingest is not compatible with your blood type, these lectins starts to affect different organs and agglutinates blood cells on the target area. Auspiciously these lectins are not that life threatening, though it can cause range of problems, yet fortunately our body sloughs off 95% of lectin and the rest is filtered into the bloodstream and different organs. Your blood type diet is the restoration of your natural genetic rhythm. Your blood type diet works because you are able to follow a clear, logical, scientifically researched plan based on your cellular profile.

Each food groups are divided into three categories:

1. Highly beneficial ( food that acts like Medicine),

2. Foods allowed (food that are no harm to the blood type) and

3. Foods not allowed (food that acts like a Poison)
