Hair loss has become a global problem among men and women. About more than 40% of women in U.S. alone suffer from hair loss. There are factors that cause hair loss. One of the most common problem is Alopecia Areata. It is mostly inherited and common in people having autoimmune disease. Some other factors include stress, low iron, and menopause.

People with hair loss will lack confidence while socializing both at work or leisure. Wearing wigs is one of the solution but it can be embarrassing if the wigs fall off. With the advancement in trichology, hair transplant is becoming a more common and effective method in hair restoration.

Hair Transplant Medical is a consumer organization with many experience hair transplant surgeons who have performed many successful transplant. This is the right place to go whether you are looking for a hair transplant surgeon, or information about hair loss and hair transplant.

Chinese Medical and Health Search Engine

December 30th, 2007 at 13:07 · Filed Under Blogging, Business, Health, Marketing, Medical · Comment 

I came across a Chinese Medical and Health Search Engine, lolong.com (络龙). It is a brain child of a group of young Chinese technopreneurs operating in Chengdu, China. The idea is nothing new but it certainly will make searching for medical and health related materials easier with their sole concentration in this area. If you are looking for some medical or health related information, why not give it a try?

Laser Treatment

December 27th, 2007 at 12:01 · Filed Under Blogging, Days in My Life, Health, Medical · 2 Comments 

I went for my scheduled eye examination at my doctor’s clinic in KL yesterday. Everything is fine except the transparent cells covering/holding my artificial lens have begun growing and blurring my vision. I need a laser treatment after 3 months. The treatment is a 5-minute outpatient procedure which uses laser to polish the lens.

Is the growth normal for people who have cataract removed? Can anyone provide some information and experience please?

Chewing Tobacco Can Cause Mouth Cancer

December 11th, 2007 at 12:00 · Filed Under Health, Medical, Okinawa · Comment 

When I talked to my friends from Hospice, I learned about chewing or smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol, can cause mouth cancer.

My friend’s father-in-law died of mouth cancer last year. I did not know about it until I met him two weeks ago when he came back from US for visiting.

I know a friend from Norway who likes to chew tobacco. I hope he is reading this. Please stop chewing tobacco and take good care of yourself. I have seen so much people suffering from cancer. I wish you best of health.

Shocked!

December 10th, 2007 at 12:11 · Filed Under Blogging, Days in My Life, Eating Out, Family, Health, Humanity, Medical · Comment 

We went to Pak Putra for dinner last night. It was dinner time and there were too many people at the restaurant. The restaurant was very busy and in a chaos. We waited for some time for our drinks to arrive. Then another some time for our foods to arrive. The kids were getting a little inpatient. Finally, we got all the foods to fill our empty stomachs. Our foods came, some were not exactly the same as what we ordered. Our Tandoori chicken was not baked thoroughly and etc…

We are regular customer there. The boss, his wife, his brothers and some of their old staff know us and we are very much like friends. After the food, when I settled the bill, I made a feedback to one of the boss’ brother about the service. He assured me and told me to make our orders through him next time we come.

About leaving, another brother of the boss approached us and apologized for the chaos and the service. We gladly accepted his apology and that’s what I call “Service”! We had a short chat and LA asked about the lady, his sister-in-law. We used to see her sitting at the counter. We have not been seeing her since this January/February. So, out of curiosity, LA asked him.

He told us that she has lung cancer! What a shock we had. She was so healthy and a non-smoker. He told us her condition is getting better but needs a lot of rest. We wish her best of health and a speedy recovery.

We encountered many people, friends, relatives and acquaintance who suddenly have been diagnosed of cancer or suddenly died of cancer. My sister, Angie, died of cancer 2 years ago.

That’s life. What can we do?

LA and I decided to donate RM1 to Hospice for every bouquet sold. This is the least we can do to spread our love to those unfortunate but brave cancer victors to fight the horrible cancer. So, let’s reach out this Christmas and share your love.

Smooth Yogurt

December 3rd, 2007 at 10:39 · Filed Under At Home, Food, Health · Comment 

Many of the local brands of yogurt are heavily sweetened and I don’t really like them. Certainly, we don’t like to give them to the kids. All these local brands including imported brands of yogurt are really smooth. All the while, I enjoyed smooth yogurt. This becomes the opposite not long before I read in Purely Random about yogurt. LA has told me about stirring yogurt some times ago.

Don’t stir the yogurt! All the yogurts on the shelf are stirred and blended with bits and favors of fruits to enhance the taste. In the process of adding fruity favors and bits, the yogurt has to be stirred. Stirring breaks up the solid texture of the yogurt.

The Sunglo’s all natural yogurt contains all the solid texture. It tastes great when mixed with fruity jam!

The price of the yogurts are getting more expensive now. I am thinking of making our own yogurt. I will write about our experience making our own yogurt later.
