Semasa saya membimbing anak-anak gadis yang tersasar kehidupan, saya memegang tangan mereka, merenung wajah mereka, di dalam hati berbisik,”Oh Tuhan, mereka adalah mangsa kerakusan dunia dan keluarga berantakan. Mereka mangsa gejala sosial yang parah di bumi bertuah. Tahukah para pemimpin apa yang mereka rasakan?”

Semasa memegang tangan anak-anak kecil di rumah anak yatim, di dalam hati saya menangis,” Ya Allah, mereka di sini ditinggalkan ibu bapa yang tidak mampu menjaga. Mereka menjadi mangsa kegagalan kehidupan. Mereka sengsara di bumi bertuah.”

Dari pengalaman peribadi saya  lebih 60% remaja berumur 16 tahun mengaku pernah melakukan hubungan seks haram, para remaja perempuan mengadu menjadi hamba seks teman-teman lelaki dan mereka tidak mampu keluar. Tahukah pemimpin semua ini berlaku di bumi bertuah yang seharusnya menjadi negara madani?

Tahukah pemimpin, tekanan kehidupan membuat remaja hilang punca. Tahukah pemimpin, hancurnya institusi keluarga menghasilkan ramai anak-anak luar nikah?

Anak-anak muda ini tidak tahu apa itu politik. Tidak mustahilkah ia berpunca dari kesibukan pemimpin mengejar kuasa politik lebih dari kesibukan menyelamatkan masyarakat? Bukankah menyedihkan apabila setiap perancangan perlu mengambil kira kepentingan politik kepartian?

Semasa menyantuni mereka yang malang ini, sejuta harapan agar ada pertimbangan oleh pemimpin beriman agar memartabatkan moral rakyat supaya masyarakat tidak hancur sebegini rupa. Menggunung harapan agar peruntukan yang lebih diberi kepada pembangunan budi dan akhlak mulia. Hanya rakyat yang berbudi luhur saja yang mampu menjadikan negara memacu kejayaan sebenar. 

Apalah daya kami para dai'e yang serba kekurangan sedangkan pemimpin ada kuasa dan kemampuan untuk merubahnya.

Segunung harapan juga agar perancangan sistem pendidikan yang tidak dicampur-adukkan dengan kepentingan peribadi atau kumpulan tertentu agar ia benar-benar berhasil mendidik jiwa anak muda menjadi cerdik, beragama dan berakhlak.

Jauh di sudut hati, memohon kepada Ilahi agar dikurniakan pemimpin yang adil, bijak, bersih, jujur, amanah dan beriman. Dengan sifat adilnya, rakyat dapat merasa hak mereka terbela. Dengan bijaknya memerintah, rakyat hidup bertamaddun tidak serakah. Dengan bersih peribadinya, akhlak rakyat diutamakan. Ia jujur, tidak menipu. Ia melaksanakan amanah sebaik-baiknya. Imannya yang tinggi meletakkan syariat pada tempatnya yang sebenar.

Kita mengimpikan pemimpin yang begitu yang menerajui negara, mengundang rahmat dari Allah bukannya bala. 

Biarlah semua yang tinggal di bumi bertuah ini merasa bahagia di bawah pimpinan ketua yang bersifat amanah,sidiq, tabligh dan fathonah.

Namun, layakkah kita mendapat pemimpin hebat sekiranya kita belum cukup hebat bermunajat dan bermuamalat secara bersyariat? 

Artikel dari blog http://www.naturalnews.com/039963_cinnamon_honey_healing.html

yang sangat berfaedah

(NaturalNews) On January 17, 1995, an article written by Beatrice Dexter about the benefits of honey and cinnamon powder, appeared in The Weekly World News.

Please allow me to preface this article with a bit of information unbeknown to the writer and virtually everyone else: cinnamon is 26 percent sulfur based and honey is 33 percent sulfur based, making their combination 59 percent sulfur based and the reason why their combination is so effective.

Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot.

Honey will crystallize if it is left in a cool dark place for the long time, but do not mistake this crystallization for it turning into sugar. Honey never will become sugar. If it does crystallize, simply loosen the lid and let the honey jar sit in boiled water, as this will allow the honey to re-liquefy naturally.

It is important to note that you do not put a honey jar in boiling water while still be heated or in a microwave as these will kill the enzymes in the honey.

Obviously, you will never read about this in the mainstream media because they are hookers for BigPharma and could interfere with their drug pushing profits if too many people learned about the effectiveness of sulfur-based remedies.

Today's science says that even though honey is sweet and when taken in the right dosage as a "medicine", it will not and does not harm even diabetics.

Ok, all that being said, let's get to healing qualities of the sulfur-based cinnamon/honey combination as researched by Western scientists, who by the way, are clueless about the sulfur effectiveness or the fact that cinnamon and honey are sulfur based:

HEART DISEASE
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder and apply it on bread instead of jelly and jam and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and could prevent a heart attack. If someone already had a heart attack and you take this combination, your next heart attack may never happen. The regular use of this combination relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heartbeat. In America and Canada, various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as one ages, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; the cinnamon and honey combination revitalizes the arteries and veins.

ARTHRITIS
Arthritis patients should take, twice a day (morning and night), a cup of hot water with two tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder. When taken regularly, even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a research project conducted at Copenhagen University, it was found that when doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon of honey and a half-teaspoon of cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week 73 out of the 200 tested were totally relieved of pain. Within a month, most all of the people who had trouble walking or moving around because of their arthritis could walk without pain.

BLADDER INFECTIONS
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It will destroy the germs in the bladder.

CHOLESTEROL
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of cinnamon powder mixed in 16 ounces of water were found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, when taken three times a day, chronic cholesterol is cured. The scientists also found that pure honey taken with food on a daily basis relieves complaints of cholesterol.

COLDS
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon of lukewarm honey with one quarter of a spoonful for cinnamon powder daily for three days as this procedure will cure most chronic coughs, colds, and will clear the sinuses.

UPSET STOMACH
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers for its roots.

GAS
According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that when honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.

IMMUNE SYSTEM
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacterial and viral attacks. The scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in larger amounts. Constant use of honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles, where the DNA is contained, to fight bacterial and viral diseases.

INDIGESTION
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food is eaten relieves acidity and aids in the digestion of the heaviest of meals.

INFLUENZA
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural "ingredient", which kills the flu germs and will prevent the person from getting the flu. (I ain't no learned scientist but I do know that the natural "ingredient" is sulfur and that those that take the organic sulfur crystals never get the flu).

LONGEVITY
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Use four teaspoons of honey, one teaspoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of boiling water to make the tea. Drink one quarter of a cup three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and delays aging. Life spans increase and even those in their 90s plus, will have the energy of someone half their age. Allow me to inject some humor here: I play in two senior softball leagues. One of the guys, who is 87 asks me if the sulfur crystals are good for erectile dysfunction. I tell him that they are but they must be taken twice a day. About two weeks later I ask him if he is taking the crystals. He says he is. I then ask him if he is taking them twice a day. He says he is taking them once a day. I reminded him that their utmost effectiveness is by taking them twice a day. He says that he knows that but his wife can't handle it when he takes them twice a day.

RASPY OR SORE THROAT
When the throat has a tickle or is raspy, take one tablespoon of honey and sip it until it is finished. Repeat this every three hours until the throat is without symptoms.
PIMPLES
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon power paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it off the next morning with warm water. When done for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root (of course, eliminating sugar from the diet couldn't hurt).

SKIN INFECTIONS
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts to cure eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.

WEIGHT LOSS
In the morning and one half hour before breakfast and on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. When taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

CANCER
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon power three times a day for one month.

FATIGUE
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts are more alert and flexible. A Dr. Milton, who apparently does not have a first name, has done research showing that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, even when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, when taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M., the vitality of the body increases within a week.

BAD BREATH
Gargling with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water first thing in the morning will keep the breath fresh all day.

HEARING LOSS
Allegedly, daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing.

TOOTHACHE
Make a paste of one teaspoon of cinnamon powder and five teaspoons of honey and apply it to the aching tooth three times a day until the ache is gone.

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
High blood pressure and its accompanying symptoms of chest pain and dizziness disappeared in many patients' just weeks after an Italian researcher gave them regular doses of honey and cinnamon. Blood pressure improved and all 137 subjects felt better after a few weeks.

REGARDING CINNAMON

The cinnamon powder that you get in the super markets could very well be sawdust that has been colored and artificially flavored. I think it is better to get the bark and powder it yourself or but it from a reputable natural food store. Most spices are irradiated. This is supposedly done to eradicate bacteria, but spices are generally excellent bactericides so the irradiation is merely a way of destroying the precious properties of spices. Non-irradiated spices are available from most high-end health foods stores. Cinnamon can be confused for cassia and in fact many powdered forms use cassia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassia). It is also known as "bastard cinnamon". True cinnamon is also known as "Ceylon" cinnamon. There are other variants such as Indonesian and Vietnamese so avoid anything that is from these countries. Specifically ask for Ceylon Cinnamon. Cinnamomum zeylanicum is the botanical name for the purest and most potent form of cinnamon.

Not long ago I wrote an article for naturalnews on the 21 Reasons To Try Organic Sulfur Crystals. See if you notice the similarities in benefits.

1. Organic sulfur is not a drug or prescription medicine, but rather a nutrient that the body is deprived of.

2. It increases enzyme production within the glands of the body, substantially increasing resistance to illness.

3. It increases flexibility in the tissues within the body and increases blood circulation.

4. It reduces muscle and joint inflammation, promotes healing in the muscles and joints and prevents them from becoming sore. To the degree there is soreness, recovery and return to normality is quickened. Athletes, in particular, benefit from this as the intake of OS dramatically increases their recovery time.

5. It eliminates "free radicals" in the body. Allergies to pollens ad certain foods can be eliminated or reduced by its use.

6. It promotes healthy, increased growth of hair and fingernails.

7. Because of the oxygenation of the cells and tissues that the OS facilitates, the body is kept in a constant aerobic environment making it so that cancer cells cannot survive or exist.

8. Studies have shown it can help reverse symptoms of osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

9. It aids in healthy skin production and the reduction of "wrinkles". It is one of the main ingredients in moisturizing creams.

10. It helps the body properly regulate insulin production. Adequate OS in the diet may reduce the amount of insulin injections.

11. It helps alleviate chronic headaches and migraines. Increased circulation in the brain cells promotes proper blood circulation within the brain. Less pressure and pain result, reducing tendencies for headaches.

12. It helps alleviate emphysema by providing the body with material to manufacture new, healthy cells on lung walls.

13. Because of the ability to make cell walls more permeable. OS causes the body to rapidly release and reduce alcohol "hangover" toxins, removing them as waste from the body. The process quickens recovery time from a "hangover", often as quickly as 20 minutes.

14. It helps in reducing and often eliminating diverticulitis. Parasites living in the intestines are unable to remain attached to the walls due to the slippery coating that the OS produces. Because of this, hatching parasitic worms are flushed out as well because they cannot attach to the walls.

15. It reduces hypoglycemia in the body because it has made it easier for the body to introduce blood sugar through more permeable cell walls. Less insulin is demanded for the process, resulting in less overuse of the pancreas. Within several months of constant usage, OS can reduce or eliminate hypoglycemia entirely.

16. It helps alleviate PMS. Glandular production is enhanced by OS to have more "normal" levels of production. Acid, enzyme, and hormonal levels are more evenly balanced facilitating reduction of cramps, headaches, and nausea associated with the monthly cycle.

17. It helps promote better kidney function more efficiently. Water retention problems associated with poor kidney function can be alleviated.

18. It can help alleviate eye problems. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of the sulfur crystals in 4 ounces of water and use as eye drops as frequently as you like.

19. OS delivers the essential omega-3 throughout the body and also allows the body to produce vitamin B-12.

20. It has amazingly reversed countless cases of asthma and 18 cases of autism that we know about so far.

21. Last and certainly not least, it eliminates the continued need for Viagra or Cialis by reversing erectile dysfunction.

This is by far the ONLY substance that can remove the poisons from pesticides, heavy metals, radiation, and other toxins. You can find out more by going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com and going to Products and Services.

Oh yeah, the Opti product does not work because they add the synthetic silicon dioxide, whereby all synthetics kill all the benefits.

I have been doing a weekly radio show in Honolulu since 1981 called "Health Talk". In 2007 I was "forced" to get a Masters degree in Nutrition because of all the doctors that would call in asking for my credentials. They do not call in anymore. Going to www.healthtalkhawaii.com enables you, among other things, to listen to the shows. I am an activist. In addition to espousing an organic vegan diet for optimum health, I am strongly opposed to GMOs, vaccines, processed foods, MSG, aspartame, fluoridation and everything else that the pimps (Big Pharma, Monsanto and the large food companies) and the hookers (the doctors, the government agencies, the public health officials, and the mainstream media) thrust upon us, the tricks.
After being vaccinated with the DTP vaccine as a child I developed asthma. After taking the organic sulfur crystals (they are harvested from the pine trees in Louisiana) in November of 2008 for 10 days my asthma reversed and has not come back over 4 years later, 18 cases, so far, of autism have been reversed, as has cancer, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, osteoarthritis, joint pain, astigmatism, gum disease, increased sexual activity, heavy metal and radiation elimination, parasite elimination, free radicals elimination, faster athletic recovery time, increased blood circulation, reduced inflammation, resistance to getting the flu, reduction of wrinkles, allergy reduction, reduced PMS and monthly period pain, nausea, migraines and so much more. And it's only possible because of the oxygen it releases that floods the cells of the body. The sulfur, as proven by the University of Southampton in England, enables the body to produce vitamin B12 and the essential amino acids. You can find out more about this incredible nutrient also on my website - www.healthtalkhawaii.com - Products and Services. There is also an organic, 70%, cold processed dark chocolate out there that contains sulfur based zeolite, which removes radiation and heavy metals.

SERAI PENAWAR KANSER !!!! Penemuan israel yang disembunyikan !!!.
Disalin dari facebook

Buat pertama kali, Benny Zabidov seorang petani dari Kfar Vedidya, Israel memiliki sebuah ladang di desa yang ditanam dengan pelbagai rempah ratus tetapi tidak memahami kenapa terlalu ramai pesakit kanser dari seluruh pelusuk negara datang untuk menemuinya hanya untuk mendapatkan bekalan serai segar di ladang milik beliau.

Beliau diberitahu oleh pesakit-pesakit tersebut telah dihantar oleh doktor-doktor mereka untuk mendapatkan bekalan serai segar dari ladang beliau bagi kegunaan perubatan.

“Pesakit-pesakit ini juga disarankan meminum sebanyak lapan gelas air panas yang direndam bersama serai segar pada hari mereka akan menjalankan radiasi dan rawatan kemoterapi,” kata Zabidov kepada pihak ISRAEL21c. “Inilah tempatnya diseluruh Israel dimana kita boleh memperolehi serai yang segar.”
Semua ini berlaku pada tahun lepas apabila para penyelidik di Universiti Ben Gurion, Negev menemui kandungan bauan atau aroma lemon didalam rempas ratus seperti serai dapat membunuh sel-sel kanser tanpa merosakkan sel-sel lain yang sihat didalam badan pesakit.

Pasukan penyelidik ini diketuai oleh Dr. Rivka Ofir dan Prof. Yakov Weinstein, kini adalah orang-orang bertanggungjawab di Katz Chair di dalam (cell-differentiation and malignant diseases) daripada Jabatan Microbiologi dan Immunologi di Universiti Ben Gurion (BGU).

“Citral” ada kunci utama yang memberikan rasa dan bauan seakan lemon didalam sebahagian jenis herba atau rempah ratus seperti serai (Cymbopogon citrates), melissa (Melissa officinalis) dan verbena (Verbena officinalis).

Menurut Dr. Ofir, hasil daripada penyelidikan mendapati “citral” akan menyebabkan sel-sel kanser ini “membunuh diri sendiri” dengan mengunakan “apoptosis”, sejenis mekanisme yang dikenali sebagai sistem sel mati. Hanya dengan meminum sebanyak satu gram air rendaman serai segar sudah cukup untuk “citral” telah memaksa sel-sel kanser membunuh diri didalam bekas kajian.

Para penyelidik di Universiti Ben Gurion (BGU) memeriksa keberkesanan”citral” ini pada sel-sel kanser dengan memasukkannya pada kedua-dua jenis sel iaitu sel-sel kanser dan sel-sel yang sihat dan dibiarkan membiak dalam bekas kajian. Quantiti “citral” yang dimasukkan adalah satu gram sama seperti kandungannya didalam secawan teh panas yang direndam bersama serai dan didapati “citral” ini hanya membunuh sel-sel kanser sahaja manakala sel-sel sihat tidak mengalami sebarang kerosakan.

Penemuan ini telah dipaparkan didalam sebuah journal sains iaitu “Planta Medica”, dimana journal ini mengetengahkan tentang penyelidikan sampingan atau alternatif dan kegunaan rempah ratus. Sejurus selepas penemuan ini berjaya, ianyanya dipaparkan sekali lagi didalam surat khabar yang paling popular di Israel.

Bagaimana “citral” ini berfungsi? Tiada siapa pun ketahui akan tetapi para penyelidik dari Universiti Ben Gurion (BGU) mempunyai teori terhadapnya.
“Dalam sel didalam badan kita, terdapat satu sistem gen yang mengawal sistem sel-sel mati. Sekiranya sistem tersebut salah, sel-sel didalam badan kita akan membahagi dengan tidak menentu dan seterusnya menyebabkan terbentuk sel-sel kanser. Didalam sistem sel-sel yang sihat, sekiranya sistem tersebut tidak berjalan dengan betul – sebagai contoh, bila mendapati sel-sel tersebut mengandungi gen-gen yang rosak maka sel-sel tersebut akan menjadi sel-sel mati didalam badan,” kata Weinstein. “Penyelidikan ini berupaya untuk menjelaskan kita tentang kebaikan serai”.

Kejayaan dari hasil penyelidikan ini telah menemui satu kesimpulan bahawa serai mengandungi “citral” yang menjadi bahan untuk menentang sel-sel kanser didalam badan kita.

Apa yang diketahui dari hasil penemuan oleh Universiti Ben Gurion (BGU) didalam akhbar, ramai ahli-ahli fizik di Israel mulai sedar dan penyelidikan ini perlu dikaji dengan lebih dalam lagi, doktor juga menasihati pesakit-pesakit dan kepada mereka yang memerlukannya untuk melawan penyakit ini.
Tidak hairan mengapa ladang Zabidov iaitu sebuah ladang serai yang terbesar di Israel menjadi tempat tumpuan kepada pesakit-pesakit kanser. Mereka amat bertuah kerana ada insan yang bersimpati dan menghulurkan bantuan. Menjadi kebiasaan bagi Zabidov menyambut kedatangan pelawat-pelawat dengan menyediakan sebuah cerek besar air teh serai dan sepiring biskut serta kata-kata semangat buat mereka.

“Bapa saya meninggal kerana kanser dan kakak isteri saya meninggal pada usia yang muda juga disebabkan kanser,” kata Zabidov. “Jadi saya paham apa yang dialami atau dirasai oleh mereka. Mungkin saya tidak tahu mengenai ubat-ubatan tapi saya adalah seorang pendengar yang setia untuk mereka. Adakalanya pesakit-pesakit ini juga mencerita kepada saya tentang rawatan mereka yang mahal dan sakit serta apa yang telah mereka lalui selama ini. Saya juga tidak pernah memberitahu mereka daripada berhenti untuk berubat dan adalah terbaik sekiranya mereka sentiasa mendalami kaedah-kaedah sampingan yang sedia ada serta membiasakan diri untuk meminum teh serai ini setiap hari.”

Dari umur muda lagi, Zabidov sudah berminat dengan pertanian. Dalam usia 14 tahun beliau sudah memasuki Sekolah Tinggi Pertanian Kfar Hayarok. Sejurus beliau tamat perkhidmatan dalam tentera, beliau menyertai satu kumpulan dan mereka menuju ke selatan, suatu daerah padang pasir yang dikenali sebagai Arava dan menemui tempat yang sangat sesuai untuk pertanian iaitu Tsofar.

“Kami semua sememangnya berjaya, kami menanam pelbagai jenis buah-buahan dan sayur-sayuran disitu,” sambil tersenyum beliau berkata,”kami dapat membesarkan anak-anak yang comel juga.”

Dalam lawatan beliau ke Europa pada pertengahan tahun 80 an, beliau mula berminat dengan rempah ratus. Pada masa yang sama, Israel tidak memperdulikan masakan timur seperti sekarang dan hanya beberapa jenis rempah ratus sahaja yang ditanam secara meluas seperti pasli, jintan dan ketumbar.

Berjalan-jalan di pasar sekitar bandar Paris dan melihat kepelbagaian jenis herba serta rempah, Zabidov menyedari semua ini mempunyai potensi yang baik jika dipasarkan ke seluruh pelusuk negaranya. Beliau membawa pulang beberapa jenis rempah ratus ke negaranya, “dimana ini adalah satu kesalahan,” katanya sambil tersenyum dengan rasa bersalah, untuk melihat bagaimana rempah ratus ini tumbuh di ladangnya kelak. Tidak lama kemudian, beliau menanam selasih, oregano, tarragon, sawi, sage, marjoram dan melissa serta beberapa jenis pudina.

Perniagaan beliau mulai berkembang dan beliau telah membuat keputusan untuk berpindah menuju ke utara, Kfar Yedidya adalah sebuah tempat yang sangat sesuai, perjalanan yang mengambil masa lebih kurang satu jam setengah dari Tel Aviv. Sekarang, beliau dapat memasarkan ratusan kilogram serai dalam masa seminggu dan juga menandatangani perjanjian dengan pengedar untuk membungkus untuk diedarkan ke seluruh pusat-pusat makanan kesihatan di negaranya.

Zabidov juga mendalami tentang serai ini dan kebaikkan “citral” untuk membantu para pelanggan beliau mengetahui lebih lanjut serta menjemput beberapa penyelidik perubatan ke ladangnya, memberi penerangan bagaimana dan kenapa “citral” berfungsi.

Beliau juga berasa bertanggungjawab untuk memberi tahu kepada para pelanggannya tentang kebaikkan serai. “Apabila saya menyedari apa yang berlaku, saya terus menelefon Dr. Weinstein di Universiti Ben Gurion kerana ada diantara para pelanggannya bertanyakan apakah cara yang terbaik untuk menggunakan “citral” ini. Dr Weinstein memberitahu adalah baik sekiranya serai direndam didalam air panas dan meminumnya sebanyak lapan gelas sehari sebagai amalan.”

Zabidov sangat berpuas hati dengan pennemuan penyelidikan ini bukan disebabkan keuntungan bisnis tetapi kerana ianya dapat meningkatkan tahap kesihatan beliau sendiri.

Walaupun berita tentang penemuan ini disiarkan, beliau dan keluarga juga sememangnya sudah mengamalkan minuman air rendaman serai ini bertahun lama, “kerana rasa airnya yang sedap.”

Elemen Citral yang ada dalam serai  merangsang untuk menyingkirkan kolestrol berlebihan, urik asid, toksin dan lemak dalam badan. Aktiviti ini menggalakkan peredaran darah ke seluruh anggota badan.

Ahli akademik di 'Department of Nutritional Sciences' dari University of Wisconsin telah menyiarkan penemuan mereka, perhubungan diantara serai dan kolestrol di dalam Jornal Kesihatan Lemak (medical journal Lipids) pada tahun 1989. Mereka menjalankan kajian pada 22 orang peserta yang mempunyai masalah kolestrol yang tinggi.  Setiap peserta dikehendaki mengambil 140 mg kapsul pati serai setiap hari. Kesannya, purata peserta telah berjaya menurunkan kadar kolestrol dari 310 ke 294. Selepas 3bulan, kebanyakan peserta rata-rata dapat menurunkan kadar kolestrol sebanyak 38 mata.

5) Masukkan beberapa biji bawang merah ke dalam bekas gula. Tak perlu kupas kulit bawang tersebut.

6) Bakar kulit telur hingga menjadi abu. Tabur abu ini pada kawasan laluan semut atau tempat semut berkerumun.

Di antara yang membuat saya bahagia ialah apabila mengenang kembali melahir dan membesarkan anak-anak. Setengah dozen semuanya, kadang-kadang terasa seolah-olah tidak percaya, saya mampu melaluinya. Membesarkan anak-anak di tengah bandaraya yang bukan kecil cabarannya.

Di antara yang membuat saya senyum juga adalah apabila mengenangkan keletihan bekerja sepanjang hari disambung pula dengan tugas memastikan mereka menjalankan rutin ibadah dan rutin belajar setiap malam. Enam anak dengan seribu kerenah, seribu warna kehidupan. Tangis dan ketawa mereka, pencak dan gurau mereka kekadang mengundang kemarahan tetapi selalunya menjadi hiburan jiwa seorang wanita yang tidak punya apa-apa ini..

Di antara yang membuat saya bahagai ialah apabila Allah memberi saya kemampuan untuk saya menyusukan semua anak-anak  sepuasnya.  Tekad untuk menyusui sendiri anak-anak agar mereka membesar dengan sempurna tercapai jua. Walau penat, walau susah alhamdulillah ia tetap terlaksana. Di hati berdoa agr setiap titisan susu itu menjadi ibadah, dan ia mengalir di tubuh anak menghasilkan gelombang suci ke jiwanya agar besar nanti tetap mengabdi kepada Ilahi.

Saya bertuah kerana mempunyai ibu yang tidak percaya dengan cara 'berpantang' orang Melayu atau makan jamu.  Saya disuruh banyak makan sayur, minum air. Tiada istilah 'masuk angin' atau memanjakan diri dengan tidur sepanjang hari. Pulang dari hospital selepas bersalin lalu mencapai penyapu  atau mencuci sendiri lampin anak mungkin agak pelik bagi sebahagian orang orang Melayu. 

Saya disuruh makan sayur jantung pisang setiap hari. Kata ibu agar air susu banyak terhasil. Jantung pisang dimasak kuah putih dicampur bawang dan halia dan kadang-kadang ditambah sedikit santan menjadi makanan wajib setiap hari. Ia juga ulaman dalam pecal.

Hari ini semasa berbual-bual dengan Dr. Maizirwan pakar bioteknologi UIA, beliau memberitahu bahawa seorang lagi pakar sains UIA menemukan bukti  kandungan zat yang ada dalam bunga jantung pisang boleh meningkatkan aktiviti hormon estrogen yang berfungsi  mengaktifkan sel untuk menghasilkan air susu ibu.

Subhanallah, syukur kepada Allah yang mengilhamkan ibu saya menyediakan sayur jantung pisang setiap kali saya bersalin.

Kekayaan zat yang ada dalam jantung pisang juga membantu mempertahankan badan dari serangan stroke.

Buat para ibu muda, susukanlah bayi dengan sebaiknya. Ia hadiah yang amat berharga tiada tolok bandingnya.
