What a bad luck, getting diarrhoea this time

Since the last two days, I have got diarrhoea. My muscle was painful and I got an headache. I could not sleep for two nights. I went to see the doctor, he said I was affcted by some germs in the intestine resulting water could not infiltrate into intestine wall but went down to the large intestine with the waste. He prescribed 3 bags of soluble mineral, 6 tablets of antibiotic, and some tablets to prevent vomiting. He added that these germs were contaminated with the food we ate. I could not remember which food and when I ate that caused this terrible sick.
I am thinking of Japan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, and EU countries, where the food safety are very strong. The governments are strict with the sanitary of the public. Saying that, people rarely get diarrhorea in those countries. More over, public places are also very clean, including the toilets. People have strong discipline and are trained for the self respect of the society rules.
Being in the middle status in Thai Society, it is hard to control food sanitation because there are many levels of food any where and any store. Food safety is ignored by most people. Some cases should be indicated such as 1. Many small restuarants on the road side, the owners who are cooking, also receiving money with the same hand, same hand same touches, money and food. 2. Somewhere, the cooks use one spoon tasting every food before being handed to the customers, and the spoon is used for following food again 3. Food in the middle of the table for sharing, there are no sharing spoon, every one use their spoon to pick up food to their plates. And 4. Those who drink whisky duriing eating, the waitresses mix whisky and soda by using one ice holder stirring every glasses on the table. These mentioned practices are common any where. But, actually, a part from these matters, epidemic germs usually contaminate from careless washing of fresh food before cooking or uncooked food.
Now, it is a sweet tammerine season and I got a lot from friends and also purchasing. I doubted that my diarrhoea might be contaminated from the sweet tammerine in the broken pods without washing. I ignored it and didn't think of suffering, only looked for the white mycellium mold on the pods. However, I could not conclude that what exactly was the cause of my diarrhoea. Chavalvut Chainuvati

"haemorrhoids if one is still drinking"

My brother asked me about haemorrhoids of which I got it for quite long when I was still drinking
Since I was in the university, I started drinking alcohol and drank heavily at the first period of working life. After three years of working, at the age of 25. I noticed there was a small swollen vien and bleeds at my anus. It happened when I was staying with a friend in Lampang and we went for a heavy drink the night before. I doubted that I got an ache in my stomach and tried to go to the toilet a few times to relief my ache. The swollen vein might come from my force to clear the stomach waste.
I went to see a doctor after coming back to Bangkok. The doctor said that if I put my bottom in the hot water about 15 minutes twice a day, in the morning and the night before taking a bath, the swollen vein might be recovered. I did it and the suffered vein disappeared for a while, then it happened again. I just ignored it and tried to relief it myself. Then, long after the affection , I went to see another doctor at the private hospital and knowing that the only way to treat haemorrhoids was to cut the swollen vein away. However, doctor suggested with confidence that this matter was not led to other disease. I, therefore, left this problem behind and tried to relief it by myself again with some proct-creams and hot water immersion.
At the age of 50's when I first started the rank of administrator, I could not tolerate the affection anymore and went to the hospital to have it cut away. It took only 2 nights in the hospital, first night for preparing and second night for post operation observation. I thought this was a kind of primary operation. It took so fast and I was not suffered much from operation. After going back home, I needed 15 days for hot water immersion, morning and night.
Almost 10 years after, I got the small swollen vein again, this time, the doctor put the small thread to tighten it, not any operation needed. It has recovered up to now.
So far, sometimes, I got some pain of irritated skin at my anus when I strongly force my stomach when I went to the toilet. I learnt that hot water was an effective therapy in this matter. I have tried it quite a few times.
The way to immerse our bottom with hot water, we need a washing bowl as the size of lavatory. Put the bowl into the lavatory and fill hot water in, sitting there for a quarter of hour and the feeling will be better.
It is hard to prevent haemorrhoids whereas, we are in the stage of fast mobilization and complex socialization. The recommendation should, therefore, be consumption of fruits and vegetable, together with sweaty exercise. there are two kinds of fruit, a kind contains natural digestive enzyme such as banana, papaya, sapodilla, custard apple, sweet tammarine, prune, etc, and other kind of fruit contains high indigestible fiber for easily waste removal such as oranges, apple, etc. I try to eat fruit and exercise as mentioning. Food and nutrition should be changed from one to one everyday. And don't forget, non stop drinking alcohol lead to this matter, particularly when we have the gastro intestinal problem from heavy drinking. Chavalvut Chainuvati

making a water pipeline, ready?

Set your sight high, believe in yourselves and get going. Experience and skill come from the doing.[from a postcard long time ago]


I had a chance to read a book named The Parable of Pipeline [Thai Edition] was written by Burke Hedges. The content was about how to get money wisely. There were two men in a village getting money by carrying water from the lake to the village well. One man was happy with this work which money was good, and the other, also carried water like the first one, but was planning to dig the pipeline for the water running to the well without carrying, and getting money long term. He persuaded the first one to join but being refused. He had already enjoy carrying. However, The man continued his idea by taking his free time to dig the pipeline which was very hard work and got progress little by little. Finally, after a very long time, his plan was successful and he enjoyed good return without using his energy anymore. He had a furthur plan to dig pipeline in other villages and spreaded this victory out to over the world. Certainly, he must have a staff. He invited his friend to join and got him afterward.
The writer compared this story with the business. There were 2 kinds of business, one imitated to carrying water and the other was about digging pipeline. For example, working for money day by day even being a doctor or dentist, if oneday, a man got sick and could not work, he would not have money, and the money saving would be gone easily. Other type of work was the invention of the set of activities. This was like a pipeline, such as hospital, school, department stores, and industry, etc
Income of a man should devided into three parts, one for daily expense, two for saving and three for making a sideline[digging a pipeline] The writer also recommended that, pipeline could be an e- business where people could display goods, buy and sale. Other example was a line of business where the head quarters and branches were cooperate with each other. The executive and workers must work in a set of system. Lastly, buying stocks, or investment funds which were secured could be other pipelines too. These activities were in line like machine.
Look at the pipeline digging, it is a really hard work, the job is done little by little, the man doing the job must put effort, strenght, and stand for the success even it is so hard and hard. Explaining that, there is nothing come to a man without trouble. If we study hard we can get a good job, if we don't study we have to work as labour instead. But even we are labour, we must learn how to save money, and plan for pipeline. We can be achieved even we study less in school. There were so many successful people who had less time in school. Life long education by working and thinking are more important. Brain is the most important machine for a man. Use brain. Start and invest little by little. Small is beautiful.
For the brain, experience is the main idea. We learn by doing and having mistakes. Sometimes we learn from the others. Fiends family and colleagues play role for success. We must get friends, or other words, being popular in the society. Good Human Relation. And occasionally, try to find one own natural talent in doing things such as drawing, sports, mechanics, science, taking pictures, etc. Try a pipeline. Chavalvut

why do I prescribe myself

At the age of 63, I have already got some heart problem in which I knew that these had started many years before. When I was young and working as a leader in different levels in the government, I worked and participated in every events coming to my path. These too many activities might cause me a disease I had never expected because I also made heavy exercises for over 30 years. Now I have my bone deterioration too.
Last few days, I went to have an ECHO test and exercise test at the hospital, founding that I had problems on heart valve leaking and heart swelling. The doctor prescribed 3 sets of medicine for daily take. One was for cholesterol reduction, two was for blood pressure and last for protecting the stomach. Additionally, doctor recommended me to do more exercise and get away from any depress.
Now I started getting more exercise, try to sleep longer and control my food habit. I usually like icecream, fried food, crisps, starchy snacks, coffee and alcoholic beverages etc. Now I stopped some of them. Besides, I try eating more fruit and vegetable. The question is if I can reduce my blood pressure and cholesterol level by food and exercise therapy, do I have to continue my prescribtion.
I read from Matichon, the newspaper, this morning[Feb 8th] about a lady who had been diagnosed with the ovary cancer. She was treated by removing the reproductive organ and 6 chemotherapy. Then, she went to Luangprabang, leading the natural life and food for a while. Now she is in Bangkok and live in the house covering with tree in natural condition. Prior to this diagnosis, she was so busy with business and social activities. Her activities were overload and she cared less on eating and quality of life. Presently she has resigned from business and stays home. She said that life was fun not only from works, we could find peace and happiness by leading life in the natural ways.[She might not need working for money]
I wonder if I treat myself with natural ways and stop taking pills. Is that the right way for a heart maintaining? I am afraid that pills may lead me to other problems such as liver or kidney failures. Now, I am trying to eat more vegetable, fruit, and fishes. Trying some fresh food, I also eat Thai food ingredients such as garlic, onion, shallot, mint leaves, basal leaves, ginger,etc. Someone said that they were herbs. Besides, I increase my daily exercise too.
Yesterday, I went to participate in a cremation of my former colleague's father. In the ceremony, the speaker read his history for paying respect. A part of history was about being suffered from heart disease at 60's. From there, he started being vegetarian and exercise. He died at the age of 98. I didn't know, meanwhile if he took any pill daily. However, he could live very long with his heart sickness. My parents also had heart problems before they passed away, they took a lot of pills daily until the last day. My heart problem could come from their gene transfering because it is a disease of everyone in this family, startng from my grandfather.
However, I dream that I can stop taking pills and lead the normal life again in the future. That means, I minimize starchy and fatty food consuming in stead of taking cholesterol reduction pill. I will also stop blood pressure pill by making my blood circulation smoothly with more exercise. Can I do that? I must try.
