With the recent case on the Geylang Serai food poisoning outbreak, I would like to share this info which I received from a friend. Please read on it, it may be of help.
When someone gets diarrhoea, sometimes the solution is so easy, we wonder why anyone has to suffer.
The secret is in rice water.
This is already known in this region. Ask your maids -- Sri Lankan, Indonesian, Filipina and they would know about it.
(My mother) knew about it. When Dr Albert Winsemius came to Singapore for a farewell and thank you dinner in his honour, he brought along his wife Aly and his granddaughter, Jolijn. Both women came down with very bad gastroenteritis. They saw the doctor who gave them medication. It was slow to work.
Mother boiled some rice in lots of water and went to their hotel with two 1.5L bottles of rice water.
I cringed in shame at the offer of this folk remedy, which seemed so primitive to me. Never heard of this cure before. To my surprise, it worked, and they were even able to go out for dinner the next day. Both
were exclaiming how the rice water did the trick of making them well again. Well, lucky it worked, I thought to myself.
I was discussing this some years back with Kim Ng, the ex-matron of KK Hospital. She said, "Yes, that is what Professor Wong Hock Boon, the notable paediatrician teaches." I was shocked. How could he? It was common knowledge so what had he to do with it?
Many months later, I regretted laughing at it. Dr Christina Shanta Emmanuel, who is the CEO of...uh, which group I have forgotten. Either National Health Group, or Polyclinics, or whatever.. regarded me
seriously when I brought up the topic like it was good fun. She said that Prof Wong Hock Boon had presented a paper on it at some conference after he had done clinical trials.
Then his results were published in the Lancet, the Medical Journal all doctors read. In fact, said Shanta, he was credited for saving the lives of 2 million African babies by this method.
Ah, so! I am impressed.
It is rice water and not rice, that does the trick. I have found it effective again and again. You take a handful of rice and boil it in a large saucepan with lots of water. Like three or four large glasses. Then you cool that and drink the water. If you are in a hurry to relieve the ailing person, take the saucepan off the fire and dunk it in a frying pan or basin of cool water with ice cubes if necessary.
This gives the patient a chance to drink the rice water sooner and cure himself or herself sooner.
When drinking the rice water, make sure there is lots of it. You have to tell the patient that enough water must go in to line your guts from throat to other end, all 10 to 12 metres of it. If you take rice, it stays in the stomach. If you take broth, some of it may go into the small intestine.
But if you take rice water, it will carry rice grains to every inch of your small and large intestine to the end where the problem is.
How does it work? Even Prof Wong Hock Boon doesn't know. Read the attached file. Or go to http://rehydrate.org/dd/dd06.
Welcome to DIY Home Remedy
Hi,my name's Donovan. Born in 1988, I have been living and growing up in Singapore for the past 20 years and still am. Unfortunately.
The overall topic here is sort of ‘anything goes’ although my primary focus tends to be on nutrition (health and fitness), art and wakeboarding.
I'd also like to meet beautiful people full of life and creativity, with a spirit melded from the combination of Apollo and Dionysus; a ferocious blond beast constantly overcoming the self, constantly directing and redirecting the torrents of passion and chaos that flow from their souls, one who builds upon the base human impulses and creates upon them establishing higher level impluses, higher and higher as their power grows, far exceeding the level of the masses until reaching the level of ubermensch. Or a hot chick will do - nothing under 16 though, I mean, I'm not a freak you know.
