DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases. METHOD OF TREATMENT 1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water 2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minute 3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal. 4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours 5. Those that are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day 6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life. The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases: 1.. High Blood Pressure (30 days) 2. Gastric (10 days) 3. Diabetes (30 days) 4. Constipation (10 days) 5. Cancer (180 days) 6 TB (90 days) 7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards daily. This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.This makes sense .... The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain...

The Scotch Game Explained, unlike most openings books, offers a back-to-basics approach tailored to novices and intermediate players.

Mga kasama let's welcome LION1123 AS 1 of our new SUPERADMINS..

I learned to play chess by watching my friends playing the game in the 1960s. Naitigil ko lang dahil I was studying and was in the movies, I was dancing the ballroom dance and playing basketball. Itinuloy ko lang ang paglalaro ng chess more or less 10 years ago and I'm still learning the strategy of chess dahil napakababa ng rating ko. Thank you. How about you? I also posted this topic at the general forum.

Sino sa inyo ang naglalaro sa Chess Knights? Kaya ko naitanong ay misang pumunta ako dun para bisitahin yong Chess Knights ay sarado na pala ngayon. Wala na pala ang Chess Knights. Kaya pala nag sara ay namatay na pala si Nelson Newman, owner at operator ng Chess Knights. Nagulat na lang ako ng mabalitaan kong namatay na pala si Nelson nang bibisita sana ako dun dahil matagal na akong hindi nag lo-login dun sa Chess Knights.
