I always liked President Obama and his message of change. He’s always come across as a serious guy, ya know, but of course, if he doesn’t, then who would take him seriously, right?

Then, this evening, my husband saw this modified President Obama picture that was just totally outrageous, and I thought so cool looking, I knew I had to share it with you guys.

Check out his bling-bling!

Whoever created this must have had way too much time on his / her hands. But thanks a million, whoever you are. It really made my day.

President Obama on getting people to eat healthful food

======================

I was reading the 2nd page of the Star newspaper today, and I was quite troubled at what I had read.

The article said, Pharmaceutical firms view Malaysia as ideal location for research.

Additionally, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said priority could be given to such value-added (clinical) trials as Malaysia’s multi-ethnic composition represented a big portion of the global population.

University of Aberdeen Institute of Medical Science lecturer Professor Anne Glover said Malaysia could serve as a one-stop centre for clinical trials due to its multi-ethnic population.

“Pharmaceutical companies are interested to use the resources here,” she said.

I checked the Business Times (belonging to New Straits Times)  and they quote the Prime Minister as saying, “Malaysia should give priority to “value add clinical trials” and “diagnostic trials” in the medicine field as the country has a plural society suitable to test the global market.

“We’ve Malays, Chinese, Indians, Sabahans and Sarawakians who represent the major global market. Malaysia is most suitable to conduct the study,” he said.”

What does this mean? Now, correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the article mean that we, the Malaysian population are now targeted as guinea pigs for medical tests? Does it mean our bodies will be subjected to untested medicines and such?

And if it is, how will these companies test us? Will they be using the almost free Malaysian public health care as a vehicle to distribute the medicine and test their products on unsuspecting Malaysians. Will they inform the us beforehand that we will be targeted as guinea pigs or will they just quietly test us without our knowledge?

I’m really troubled about this. I would not want my family and I to be used in a clinical trial as who knows the ramifications of using untested drugs. Would you? Can someone care to enlighten me on this and tell me what I’m reading is right or wrong? I do hope I’m wrong, and maybe misinterpret the article.

I still have a sore throat and so tired today. I was coughing the last few days in public. I may be fighting the swine flu…

Fri 6 Nov 2009 11:47am

I need to take some time off FB because I have caught the swine flu…off to bed and loads of water and green juices.

Fri 6 Nov 2009 7:33pm

Should be in bed, but i think I am a little attached to FB….I am off to drink a liter of alkaline water now..Tomorrow I am only having green juice and soups with loads of garlic and ginger.

Last night a drank green juice and two liters of water with Arm and Hammer baking soda in it and this morning ALL my flu symptoms are gone !! Wow wow wow….(:

Terri believes she had overcome the flu twice with GREEN FOODS. About six weeks ago both her husband and son suffered terribly from flu and fever. However, she did not catch it. Here’s what she said “I credit living green foods for my stronger immune system. I am very thankful to God for showing me the way out of lifelong illnesses and protection from seasonal flu and colds.”

Jasmin says,

If you are wondering how to make alkaline water, here’s a recommended dosages from the Arm and Hammer Company for colds and influenza back in 1925:
During the first day take six doses of half teaspoonful of Arm & Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at about two hour intervals.

During the second day take four doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals.

During the third day take two doses of half teaspoonful of Arm and Hammer Bicarbonate of Soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter half teaspoonful in glass of cool water each morning until cold is cured.

Alternatively, you may want to purchase an alkaline water machine like the one I use.
