Green papaya, green tea and gout

Someone once said, gout is a rich man's disease. If you eat too much meat, you may get gout. Gout is very painful at joints especially where the big toe joins the foot.

Gout is caused by the crystallization of uric acid between joints, tendons, and the surrounding tissues. This is usually due to the presence of excessive level of uric acid in the body.

My friend recommended this concoction: green papaya and green tea leaves.  I am going to be a "gout doctor." My aunt told me the nutrients come from the seed. So I brewed it with the seeds as well.

I forgot to take a photo of the brewed papaya tea.

Verdict? The patient says when I gave it to him, his gout wasn't hurting. ext time, I make sure that he is suffering before I brew it. By then, there may not be any green papayas.

Support Cameron's Law

Dear friends,

I am posting this on behalf of a fellow bereaved mother whose son was murdered.

Support Cameron's Law is designed to bring awareness to, and get a bill passed into law that forces witness's of child abuse to report it.  

https://www.facebook.com/CameronsLaw/info

  
This is the bill that my daughter wrote and we are sending to the Senate and the President :

Sponsor............Christianna Harris
Short Title: Cameron's Law
October 16, 2013
AN ACT
TO: Require that any time child abuse is suspected or witnessed by any citizen or non citizen 

Today I met a Heather, a grieving mother online and she told me her son was murdered. My heart went all out for her and asked if I could help her in anyway. She has a page is trying to get as many likes on the page as possible to try and get this law passed..

 I chatted with her sister Chavelle to piece the story.

In 2008, 6 years old Cameron Palmer was in the care of his 49 year Old Grand Uncle. Tony Gonsoulin, has been arrested and charged with child abuse and murder after abusing his six year old nephew to death. Tony is imprisoned for 20 years. 

Police interviewed Richard D'Ginto, a neighbor who witnessed the boy being dunked from over a dividing fence. The neighbor told police he saw Gonsoulin submerge the Cameron underwater for 20 to 30 seconds at a time, while shouting at the boy.

"The man held him under water and he'd tell the boy, 'You do what I tell you and stuff like that,'" D'Ginto said.

The bill will mean Richard D'Ginto, a neighbor who witnessed the boy being dunked from over a dividing fence will have to report the offense.

My Grandpa and hail.

 

Hail stones have an intriguing effect on me
I hear them
I dashed to the windows,
I dashed to the deck.
"It's hail! It's hail."


My Grandpa left China about 100 years ago to Tropical Borneo when he was 20. When he was 80s, and I was 18, there was a freak hail storm In Sibu

Our house was on stilts. "Snow! Snow!" we yelled and we all rushed downstairs.

Grandpa in his 80s, and all of six of us aged 3 to 18. ( The Chinese believe that you should not go out in the rain or you will catch a cold.) We laughed and picked the hail, the marble size hail.

We twirled and danced and laughed in the slushy rain. Grandpa cried, he had left his temperate China, never returned and thought he would never, ever see this natural phenomenon again.

Sixty years had past, and God sent a few minutes of ecstasy. We told Grandpa, "You can die now."

My big sis Rose stared out of the window, and thought we had gone mad. When Grandpa died 3 years later, I was in Canada experiencing the coldest winter Canada ever had, minus 28 degrees. I looked out of my window, at the falling snow and whispered, Grandpa, you are now be back at your homeland China. Go and play with the snow, real snow, not hail.

Whenever we have hail, I want to go outside and relive that incredible time again. My grandpa, my siblings and me.

My grandpa wore this official formal dress that he went to meet his maker. Those of you know know me, Charles Chan is number one grand son, and My Dad John Chan, his substitute number one son. The real number one son, was banished to Manchu by the Communists.

Ruby Red: Winter clothes.

To all my friends in the Northern Hemisphere. I am glad I don't live in freezing Canada anymore.

Friday flowers: Nasturtium

 nasturtium, flowers used to decorate salads, and leaves are edible. Taste like wasabi, and is good when you have a cold.
