SEPTEMBER, 2019 | The HEALTH OPINION that most of the breeding grounds for these pesky fl yers are around garbage dumps and unkempt bushes. Th ere is only so much the authorities can do through fumigating. I mean, we don’t like it when they come around our neighbourhood and start blasting that thick fog along the streets, right? Th en let’s rally up the troops and start cleaning things up! Look for any source of stagnant water and dump it all. If now isn’t the time to take matters into our own hands, then when will it be? P.S. Forgive this father of a two-year-old son for being so violent against Aedes mosquitoes. Assalamualaikum.

Most people are scared at the sight of blood and some even faint seeing the red liquid oozing out of a person’s body due to injuries sus- tained. Poor blood circulation is the main cause of all illnesses from minor headaches to more serious diseases like stroke and heart attacks . Contaminated blood is due to pollution, stress, lack of exercise, smoking and even lack of sleep and the consumption of food that is high in oils such as nasi kandar, seafood and so on. Th ese foods cause high cholesterol which narrows the arteries, reducing the supply of essential oxygen, water and nutrition to the heart and the brain, causing heart attacks or strokes. Removing the scum In order to remove the plaque, blood-thinning drugs are used but this does not eliminate the cause but instead only treats the symptoms. For sustainable long-term cure it is necessary to ‘massage’ the blood by ‘stirring’ it so it will clean the blood vessels of plaque and let more blood to fl ow. I was introduced by my friend to a therapy in USJ that has an electrotherapeutic device that delivers 70 vibrations per second via electrons that enters your body. Th e improved blood will deliver oxygen, water and nutrition to all your organs including the heart, brain, kidney and liver, key functions for a healthy body and mind. All you do is to sit on the chair that has a mat connected to the electrotherapy machine and let the therapy do its job. You will not feel anything at all and instead the health advisors will explain the whole process in an entertaining manner to keep everyone happy. I am quite amazed that they are able to keep up their presentation from 10.00 am to 8.00 pm with each session lasting 50 minutes. Th ree health advisors take turns to be present. Th eir own Cosmo Dr. therapy is proof enough of its effi cacy, I guess. Good vibrations Everyone is tested by a gadget that will vibrate as it touches your body. In fact, if you touch a bottle of mineral water you can actually see it vibrating. Participants testify that after a few days they have felt improvements in reducing blood pressure, improved sleep, pains in the body, eliminating migraine attacks, sinus and joint pains. A 70-year-old lady demonstrated she can now squat and stand eff ortlessly, something she could not do for years. I brought my brother, who was suff ering from gout, and for the past three weeks has been going to hospital for treatment as he suff ered joint swellings and was bedridden. Since he could then walk with a cane he attended the session and at night he was able to sleep soundly. Th e next day he felt much better and even went cycling! I was pleasantly shocked at the result and he has vowed to attend the session everyday till he really improves. All the rage Th e product has been a rage in Japan for the last 30 years, 15 years in Hong Kong and now has spread to Singapore and Malaysia. Th e sessions are free! Th is strategy is eff ective in allowing people the experience and to invite their family and friends so that those who can really aff ord the device, which can cost more than rM20,000, can purchase it. As for me my energy level has improved and as it is free I kept going back for the last two weeks. Th e showroom in USJ 1 is called Cosmo Dr and has been open since May and will be on till end September. It will be extended provided they meet the attendance target. Th is is a fantastic demonstration of experi- ential marketing if I ever saw one. — The Health Adi Satria is a veteran of marketing communications .Understanding the importance of healthy blood flows have motivated him to keep exercising, eat the right foods and do everything in moderation.
