When someone gets Diarrhea, sometimes the solution is so easy, we wonder why anyone has to suffer.
Of all the ingredients here, the most potent is Rice, but not in the usual form we eat it in, and neither would rice porridge work too well.
The secret is in rice water. This is already known in this region. Ask your maids -- Sri Lankan, Indonesian, Filipino and they would know about it. My Malaysian relatives know about it. My mother knew about it.
When Dr Albert Winsemius came to Singapore for a farewell and thank you dinner in his honour, he brought along his wife Aly and his granddaughter, Jolijn. Both women came down with very bad gastroenteritis. They saw the doctor who gave them medication. It was slow to work.
Mother boiled some rice in lots of water and went to their hotel with two 1.5L bottles of rice water. I cringed in shame at the offer of this folk remedy, which seemed so primitive to me. Never heard of this cure before.. To my surprise, it worked, and they were even able to go out for dinner the next day. Both were exclaiming how the rice water did the trick of making them well again. Well, lucky it worked, I thought to myself.
I was discussing this some years back with Kim Ng, the ex-matron of KK Hospital. She said, yes, that is what Professor Wong Hock Boon, the notable pediatrician teaches. I was shocked and made some comment how could he? It was common knowledge so what had he to do with it? Many months later, I regretted laughing at it. Dr Christina Shanta Emmanuel, who is the CEO of...uh, which group I have forgotten, either National Health Group, or Polyclinics, or whatever..regarded me seriously when I brought up the topic like it was good fun. She said that Prof Wong Hock Boon had presented a paper on it at some conference after he had done clinical trials. Then his results were published in the Lancet, the Medical Journal all doctors read. In fact, said Shanta, he was credited for saving the lives of 2 million African babies by this method.
I am impressed. It is rice water and not rice, that does the trick. I have found it effective again and again.
THE EXACT RECIPE
You take a handful of rice and boil it in a large saucepan with lots of water. Like three or four large glasses. Then you cool that and drink the water. If you are in a hurry to relieve the ailing person, take the saucepan off the fire and dunk it in a frying pan or basin of cool water with ice cubes if necessary.
This gives the patient a chance to drink the rice water sooner and cure himself or herself sooner. When drinking the rice water, make sure there is lots of it..
You have to tell the patient that enough water must go in to line your guts from throat to other end, all 10 to 12 meters of it. If you take rice, it stays in the stomach. If you take broth, some of it may go into the small intestine. But if you take rice water, it will carry rice grains to every inch of your small and large intestine to the end where the problem is.
How does it work? Even Prof Wong Hock Boon doesn't know.

It is good to pass on the news to everyone you know because the complaint is so common and people suffer unnecessarily. You would be doing your friends a great favor to relieve them of their misery when the occasion arises.

Middle Finger History
Well, now......here ' s something I never knew before, and now that I know it, I feel compelled to send it on to my more intelligent friends in the hope that they, too, will feel edified. Isn ' t history more fun when you know something about it?
Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the English, proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they would be incapable of fighting in the future. This famous English longbow was made of the native English Yew tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as "plucking the yew" (or "pluck yew").
Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at the defeated French, saying, See, we can still pluck yew! Since ' pluck yew ' is rather difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F ' , and thus the words often used in conjunction with the one-finger-salute! It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as "giving the bird."
IT IS STILL AN APPROPRIATE SALUTE TO THE FRENCH TODAY!
And yew thought yew knew every plucking thing.

Tidur Seranjang Dengan Suami Orang
Teman saya ini (katakanlah namanya Ema, 25 tahun) bekerja dengan satu perusahaan konsultan yang tidak terlalu besar sebagai assistant dan salah seorang partner pada perusahaan konsultan tersebut (Kita sebut saja namanya Andy). Ema sangat mengkagumi profil dan karakter Andy.
Sebut saja semua hal yang baik, maka Andy memilikinya. Otak yang cemerlang, sikap yang profesional dan gentleman, penampilan yang selalu rapi and nice looking serta usia baru 34 tahun (waktu itu). Ema pula adalah seorang wanita yang memiliki segala yang diidamkan oleh seorang lelaki, bentuk tubuh yang sempurna, paras yang cantik,f ikiran matang serta bijak, berpewatakan ceria & suka tersenyum.
Disebabkan Ema selalu bertugas bersama Andy maka Ema akhirnya mulai menyayang i Andy lebih dari team partner & Ema membiarkan saja perasaannya kepada Andy tumbuh tanpa halangan. Semakin hari dia semakin jatuh hati kepada Andy.
Andy bukannya tidak tahu akan hal itu tetapi sikapnya yang profesional di pejabat yang tidak membiarkan hal-hal pribadi mencampuri urusan pejabat membuat Ema semakin mengkagumi peribadi Andy.
Suatu hari urusan pejabat membuat mereka berdua harus pergi kebeberapa lokasi di seluruh Negara. Inilah ceritanya.
Untuk memudahkan pergerakan, mereka naik pesawat ke Penang dan menyewa kereta untuk melakukan perjalanan darat di sekitar B'worth, Perak, Kedah dan Perlis dalam rangka melakukan suatu survey khusus untuk kepentingan klien.
Entah bagaimana silapnya mereka, pada waktu malam menginap di sebuah hotel kecil. Sebenarnya Andy ingin memesan 2 kamar tetapi kerana hanya ada 1 kamar maka dia meminta pendapat Ema. Kerana memang sudah sangat penat Ema setuju untuk sekamar dengan Andy (sebenarnya Ema agak "sedikit senang" dengan kondisi darurat tersebut)!
Kerana berasa panas, maka Andy membuka jendela kamar. Masalahnya, kamar tersbut hanya memiliki 1 ranjang berukuran panjang dan tidak memiliki kursi panjang. Tidak mungkin bagi Ema untuk meminta Andy tidur di lantai. Jadi akhirnya mereka tidur sekatil setelah Andy berjanji bahwa dia tidak akan melakukan hal yang bukan- bukan.
Sebenarnya Ema tidak pernah tidur sekatil dengan seorang lelaki apatah lagi Andy adalah suami orang! Sebagai seorang wanita jantungnya berdebar sangat kencang kerana tidur seranjang dengan lelaki sopan yang sangat diadmirekannnya. Kaki mereka beberapa kali saling bersentuhan kerana katilnya memang kecil.
Setelah setengah jam, angin malam yang masuk melalui jendela membuat Ema merasa kedinginan sehingga dia memberanikan diri bertanya kepada Andy:
"Abang Andy, Ema kesejukan nih. Boleh tak minta tolong jendelanya ditutup saja?"
Andy tidak langsung menjawab dan Ema berpikir Andy sudah tertidur sehingga dia berkata lagi:
"Abg Andy..."
Kali ini Andy langsung menjawab:
"Ema, kamu kesejukan ya? MAUKAH KAMU MALAM INI KAMU BERTINDAK SEPERTI ISTERI SAYA?"
Jantung Ema terasa berhenti berdetik. Jantungnya langsung gemuruh mendengar pertanyaan Andy. Dengan hati-hati ia bertanya:
"Maksud abg Andy?"
"Maksud saya, bolehkah Ema tolong tutupkan sendiri tingkap yang terbuka tu, seperti yang selalu dibuat oleh isteri saya dirumah?!"
Wah, wah, wah...tekun baca nmpak... Tension kan. Boleh imagine muka semua orang. Dah sekarang boleh balik buat kerja yang patut dibuat.
