Q:  Doctor, I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can  prolong life.  Is this true? A: Heart  only good for so many beats, and that it... Don't waste  on exercise.  Everything wear out eventually.   Speeding up heart not make you live longer; it like  saying you extend life of car by driving faster.   Want to live longer?  Take nap.

Please Help the Children of Fukushima “An Urgent Message from Masaru Emoto”‏

November 2, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Dear Friends, The warnings and attention regarding radioactive material that was scattered by the accident near the nuclear plant in Fukushima, has seemed to calm down, but the actual situation is not so. The Japanese Government is putting off the solution to all problems, hiding the facts, and with irresponsibility and a non-humanitarian post processing policy. Properly speaking, it's the responsibility of Japanese government to solve this problem. Currently, in the present political situation, it is very difficult to persuade or move them. But, when we consider the future of the children's health, there is not a second to lose. If Japan becomes a country of fallout, this is not only a problem in Japan, as it will sweep over this earth like domino in the twinkling of an eye. Even … [Continue reading...]
