The biblical point where Moses viewed the Promised Land. Moses was not allowed to kiss the soil of the Promised Land because he disobeyed God. It's believed to be the site of the Tomb of Moses.

What's New In The MAZE?

TIME WAITS FOR NO ONE!




It's traveling time this time and I just came back in time. The Holy Bible says "In the beginning..." so I, self, in chronological order, will go back in Moses time in Egypt to Jesus time in the Promised Land of Israel. Just like my brain that's full of gray matter, I'm mixing the new with the old, really, really old, 6,000 years old!
Like or unlike all world travellers, I quite prepared for my trip to the Middle East -- Egypt, Jordan and Israel -- where cultures and traditions are totally different from mine. I am what I eat. Being a true carnivore and pork eater, I ate a lot of my favorite bacon (one pack a day) prior to my departure. I was then ready and set to go to my biblical adventure.

Let's go!

Removing Gallstones



Gallstones are not rolling stones.  This is how to roll them out of your body.

REMOVING GALLSTONES 


  NATURALLY : Very Useful Information

This is a very useful piece of information, that you may have not received before.
This is very true and it works. 
You can 'google' Dr Lai Chiu-Nan to find out more about her and
the feedbacks of this treatment. 
PS: As always, spread good things around, it may benefit someone.
Pictures first, explanation and procedure follows:


1. Liver
2. Common Bile Duct
3. Gallstones
4. Gallbladder
 



REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY 
by Dr Lai Chiu-Nan 


It has worked for many.


If it works for you please pass
on the good news.

Chiu Nan is not charging for it, 
so we should make it free for everyone. 
Your reward is when someone, through 
your word of mouth, benefits from the regime.    Gallstones may not be everyones' concern. 
But they should be because we all have them. 
Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. 
"Cancer is never the first illness,"

Chiu Nan points out. "
Usually, there are a lot of other problems 
leading to cancer.

In my research in China , I came across some 

materials which say that people with cancer
 usually have stones. We all have gallstones. 
It's a matter of big or small, many or few.

One of the symptoms of gallstones is a feeling 

of bloatedness after a heavy meal.

 You feel like 
you can't digest the food.

 If it gets more serious, 
you feel pain in the liver area." 
  So if you think you have gallstones,

Chiu Nan offers 
the following method to remove them naturally.

The treatment is also good for those with 

a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder
 are closely linked.

Regimen: 

1. For the first five days, take four glasses 

of apple juice every day.

Or eat four or five apples, 
whichever you prefer.

Apple juice softens 
the gallstones.

During the five days, eat normally. 
2. On the sixth day, take no dinner. 


3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt 

(magnesium sulphate)

with a glass of warm water. 
4. At 8 PM, repeat the same.

Magnesium sulphate 
opens the gallbladder ducts. 

5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil 

(or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. 
Mix it well and drink it.

The oil lubricates the stones 
to ease their passage. 

PS. 1cup=250ml, ? cup lemon juice=3 lemons (approx.) 


The next morning, you will find green stones 

in your stools. "Usually they float,"

 Chiu Nan notes.
 "You might want to count them.

I have had people 
who passed 40, 50 or up to 100 stones.













Very many."

"Even if you don't have any symptoms of 

gallstones, you still might have some.
 It's always good to give your gall bladder 
a clean-up now and then

Nobel Winner for Chemistry, Richard Heck


Very interesting story of a Nobel Laureate.  I wonder if he's teaching in one of the universities there?  What an honor!



Subject: Nobel Winner for Chemistry, Richard Heck, lives in RP
He’s the only Nobel winner living in RP
By Tarra Quismundo
Philippine Daily Inquirer

First Posted 03:13:00 10/08/2010


MANILA, Philippines — “Am I the only Nobel Prize winner in the Philippines ?” the 79-year-old American chemist, walking around with a cane, joked as reporters and photographers flocked to his rented Quezon City bungalow. Richard Heck, one of the three winners of the Nobel Prize in chemistry this year, lives quietly in a crowded neighborhood. Until the news of the awards broke the other day, no one could have known that a chemistry genius was living behind the low red gates on the corner of an L-shaped street, where neighbors had hung their wash to dry in a maze of clotheslines. Settling in the Philippines in 2006 after years of travel around the world, Heck and his Filipino wife, Socorro, got the call of their lives on Wednesday, just before they sat down for supper. “It (the award) took a long time. It was slow. In fact, I was not expecting to receive any award. I was sort of giving up, not that I thought I should get one,” said Heck, who retired in 1987 after teaching and doing research work as a professor emeritus at the University of Delaware . Heck and his fellow winners—Japanese scientists Purdue University’s Ei-ichi Negishi, 75, and Akira Suzuki, 80—separately made outstanding contributions in organic chemistry, a field whose basis is carbon, one of the essential elements of life and also of innumerable industrial synthetics. Heck and the two Japanese scientists will share a $1.49-million prize for their work.They developed a process known as palladium-catalyzed cross coupling, a means of knitting carbon atoms together so that they form a stable “skeleton” for organic molecules.
It has allowed chemists to synthesize compounds to fight colon cancer, the herpes virus and HIV, as well as smarter plastics that are used in consumer applications, such as ultra-thin computer monitors.

‘They happen by accident’
“It’s a new way to make organic compounds used in drugs, dyes and many others,” said Heck, who finished his undergraduate degree and doctorate at the University of California , Los Angeles .
“You don’t plan these things. They happen by accident. I was just lucky, I guess,” said the Massachusetts-born chemist, the only son of a housewife and a salesman.
Heck and Socorro have been married for 31 years. He was visiting Manila as a tourist when he met her in her mother’s canteen at the Malacañang compound, where she was working as her mother’s assistant.
They married in 1979 after a one-month courtship. They are childless.

Long overdue
Calling the Nobel Prize his life’s biggest achievement, Heck said: “I’m certainly happy I was able to do something that was of use. Many people work for years and don’t even find anything that’s useful.”
Socorro thought the award for her husband, her senior by 20 years, had been long overdue. For the past two years, she said she had been praying every week at the Baclaran and Quiapo churches, hoping the recognition for her husband would finally come.
She cried upon receiving Wednesday’s surprise call from Stockholm .
“You never know. Maybe he would have been long gone from this earth and still he hadn’t gotten the award (Malay mo, wala na siya sa daigdig, hindi pa niya nakukuha),” Socorro said half in jest in Filipino.

No change in lifestyle
“Wow, I really haven’t heard any figure before,” Heck said when reporters told him he could receive up to $500,000 (or almost P24 million). “I haven’t thought about it. I’m not going to spend it all on one place for sure.”
“The problem is they always give it to you when you’re too old,” he quipped.
For Socorro, the amount would not change the way they live. But at least they could use part of the money to pay their P11,000 monthly rental.
The thought of buying their own house
doesn’t appeal to Socorro, who said they wouldn’t have anyone to leave it to, anyway, if the time came for them to go.

"Farewell Jerusalem" VIDEO

Dear Fellow World Travelers & Friends,

 Hello again!  I have finally completed my video project of my Into The Promised Land tour of Egypt, Jordan and Israel.  I know how much you value your privacy and identity on the internet so specific names were not mentioned in my videos with few exceptions.  I think the farewell dinner with you at Dan Panorama Hotel is so far the most touching, heartfelt and sincere and being called one of Tour Director/Educator Chen's "family" and calling our group a "Good Group."  No one called me that before.  In comparison with my other previous tour group,  nobody hugged and kissed me more goodbye.  I believe because you're just happy I'm leaving.  Hahaha!!! It maybe because we're in God's chosen land that everything turned out to be perfect.  Well, it's been nice knowing you all and we may never meet again, except for Susan, Gerry, and Sandy (Alexandra).

 Fred, my traveling friend, you have the most informative, most detailed blogs on the internet.  http://web.mac.com/frederickwulff  I go there whenever I look for the correct spelling and names of places and people.  As asked, the name of my tour website is http://www.americaisrael.us

 Most probably this will be the last time you'll hear from me since the busy seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner.  Moreover, in a few months I'll be traveling to the PH (Philippines) and Indonesia.  As formally proclaimed, the initials RP for Republic of the Philippines will no longer be used.  Besides, it's time for me to blog about my tour while my memory is fresh and publish some selected photos at my website http://libslabyrinth.blogspot.com  I don't advise checking my website because it's highly political (I'm a Republican) and I don't want to offend anyone.  It is what it is.  Take it or leave it.

"Basilique of St. Anne in Jerusalem" VIDEO


You're welcome fellow AIT Travelers -- Big Russ, Toni, Sandy, and Fred.  You don't have to e-mail me back for I'm not finished yet!  It's a lifetime job to see all my videos.  Frankly speaking, I don't have time watching other people's videos either.  The main reason I upload my crappy, blurry, and shaky videos on YouTube is they do wonders with my videos.  Everything becomes brighter and clearer.  I am so impressed with YouTube!  Ms. Medrano - I did not climb Mt. Sinai like you did 8 years ago.  I'm afraid of height and not physically capable.  As the Goddess of Convenience, I did not want to inconvenient myself.  I don't want to do anything in the dead of night, at 12:30 in the morning, climbing in the dark to the top of the mountain.  Only Moses and then some can do such thing.  Seeing the "Burning Bush" was good enough for me!

Sea of Galilee - Dancing Hava Nagila on Jesus Boat VIDEO

Dear Beautiful AIT Group Travellers & Friends,

What a wonderful tour we all had of Egypt, Jordan and Israel.  It supersedes all of my other world tours.  I enjoyed having you all as my fellow bus passengers and you are my favorite traveling group by far and so far.  America Israel Tour had excellent tour directors/educators like Mido the Egyptologist, Naj in Jordan and Chen the Israel Tour Educator.  So knowledgeable and always speaking from the heart.  I'm totally satisfied.  I'm still sorting out my 3,000 photos but as promised to Big Russ, I'm halfway done with my YouTube videos.  I uploaded some the other day.  More are being created as I'm not done yet.

Political Tsunami

REPUBLICANS ON THE RISE AGAIN!

I have always voted for the lesser evil. This time, there's a little bit of check and balance in Congress with the Republicans taking back half the House of Congress. However, I never had any confidence on Obama and the Democrats with their socialist agenda. Conservatism is the best policy. In order for the United States to get back to the nitty-gritty of the American way of life, strong leaders are needed who don't kowtow to anyone and who would implement sound but compassionate policies.

I have been a Republican emeritus ever since my favorite Geroge W. descended from the presidency. He's gone, I'm gone. But I still vote hardline Republican. I'm so sorry to know that three Republican women candidates lost in election and did not have a women sweep. I don't understand why politics are hard on women. Women's lib died sometime ago.

Congratulations to all Republican winners! To the losers, try and try again.
