Global economy seen sinking into 'severe' 2009 recession

TOKYO (AFP) - - A major banking group warned the global economy will sink into "severe" recession next year as Japan's battle to stave off a prolonged contraction was Friday hit by predictions of zero growth into 2010

Report by the Washington-based Institute of International Finance (IIF)

Mature economies -- including the US, Britain the 15-nation eurozone and Japan -- that are now in recession were forecast to contract a hefty 1.4 percent amid the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.

The US economy, the world's largest and the epicentre of the financial tsunami, would shrink 1.3 percent in 2009 after growth of 1.2 percent this year, according to the IIF projections.

The eurozone would contract by 1.5 percent from 0.9 percent growth, and Japan would shrink 1.2 percent after zero growth, the IIF said.

France, a part of the eurozone, said Friday it will sink recession next year for the first time since 1993 while it also faces a steep rise in unemployment.

Tokyo share prices were down 1.10 percent by noon Friday following the zero growth forecast, though trade remained cautious ahead of the Bank of Japan decision on interest rate cuts.

Japanese news reports said auto giant Toyota is likely to suffer its first-ever operating loss in the year to March 2009 due to a stronger yen and a global industry slump

It would be Toyota's first operating loss since it began releasing earnings figures in 1941, the Nikkei business daily said.

The dollar bounced back from fresh 13-year lows against the yen, which retreated from earlier highs as investors debated whether rates will be cut from the already low 0.3 percent, dealers said.
By late morning, the dollar was at 89.48 yen, the same level as in New York late Thursday. It had fallen to as low as 87.16 Thursday.

The euro fell to 1.4228 dollars in Tokyo trade from 1.4268 in New York and to 127.30 yen from 127.70.

Charles Dallara, managing director of the IIF -- which represents more than 375 of the world's major banks and financial institutions -- called it "the most severe, globally synchronised recession in modern economic history".

SINGAPORE, Dec 18, 2008 (AFP) - The president of the World Bank warned Thursday of a worldwide struggle in the first half of 2009 as a deepening global economic crisis hits Asian countries

Robert Zoellick also cautioned against a return to trade protectionism that could worsen the crisis.
"I am afraid that the first six months of 2009 are going to be a problem worldwide, including in Asia and including in Southeast Asia," Zoellick told a news conference during a visit to Singapore.

It is not surprisng to see this article I read from the Today newspaper reported by the World Health Organization(WHO).

Why is that so? I guess everyone knows it is due to the modern polluted environment that we are living in, and we know that it is beyond our control.

The only way to protect and prevent ourselves from getting the Cancer disease and many other deadly illnesses is to supplement our daily diet with quality nutritional health supplementary foods as quickly as possible.

According to world health nutritionists, " If our body 70 trillion cells are healthy, our body will be healthy". Hence, the cancer and many other dreaded diseases could be prevented from developing in our body.

More importantly, nutrition plays an important role in the prevention of diseases. It also plays an important role to fight current illnesses - then nutrition can support in activating the body's self-healing powers.

"I can't heal through nutrition, but I can support the body so it can help itself in the best possible way", This is the philosophy behind nutritional supplements.

They are not medicine. It is all about giving the body what it needs so that it can help itself best.

The nutritional scientists say: "If we can not get the vital nutrients from our daily groceries, then we have to quickly supplements with the right vital nutrients our body needed"

I am thankful that the FitLine® drinks were introduced to me by my good friend Anthony. They are formulated to address our daily body needs. It is no wonder that, recently, I feel a tremendous surge of body energy as well as health at its optimal level.

Choices of life- Stay Young and Healhty, Be Wealthy and Happy

Choices of Life

We live in this world with full of choices, irregardless of where we from..

Each and every one of us have the choices of life:

If we can choose to always stay young at heart, we will continue to learn and enjoy in every stage of our life.

Get healthy, the best time to stay healthy is while we are still healthy. It is so important to know that without a healthy body system, we lose our basic ability to perform in all aspects of life. Worst still, when you are very ill, our close ones will also suffer.

Be wealthy, money is not everything. However, without money, we will tend to miss many things in life! If we help as many people to get what they want in life, we will get what we want in our life with many folds in return (law of Give vs Get).

If we keep doing the right things continuously with the right passion, we will enjoy our life to the fullest with the highest success.

What we did to ourselves will die with us one day.. What we did to others will continue to be memorised for life!

Try and touch as many lives with good will and happiness, then we will enjoy our life with full of satisfaction and happiness too.

About my recent experience in life

About 8 months ago, I was introduced by my good friend to a range of quality nutritional health supplementary drinks from Germany. After consuming, they really blow me a away and changed my life.

Imagine the health benefits and the energy it provides to our body cells. (a patented new cellular energy concept that give your body 5 times or more vital nutrients absorption).

Not only I am amazed by how effective the products completely removed my many years, old bullet shell burning scar on my face beside my right eye after just 1 month, they also gave me the energy I needed to remain youthful. This caught my close friends by surprise!

Now, I am convinced to share this unique product benefits and touch more lives in this world. I believe there are many people who need such a wonderful product for the benefits of their family and themselves to stay healthy and fit.

Infact, this even more necessary in keeping our body fit to tackle the tough times ahead.

With the rapid Internet connectivity we have nowadays, I believe it is not a difficult task to achieve my goal of sharing to ten of thousands of life in short future.

Hopefully, by then more people will join me in this good deed to help touch and save more lives around the Asia Pacific region.

Our health begin from our body cells

Below is the write out extracted from the book of Dr. Ray D Strand about our body cell nutritions.

Cellular Nutrition by Dr. Ray D Strand, M.D. - Specialist in Nuritional Medicine

We have no choice but to live in our present environment. Our bodies are affronted daily by excessive production of free radicals caused by our polluted environment, stressful lifestyles, and over-medicated society.

Though we can certainly reduce the amount of free radicals our bodies produce by:

not smoking,

regular exercise,

decreasing stress levels,

and avoiding toxic chemicals etc,

Most of our bodies are still unable to fight the overwhelming daily attack on the natural defense system. Remember balance is the key--we need enough antioxidants available to neutralize the free radicals produced.

Over the past 50 years, nutritional medicine and supplementation has focused on replenishing a nutritional deficiency. Countless hours and dollars have been spent trying to determine exactly which nutrients our bodies are depleted of.

Blood tests, urine tests, hair samples, muscle testing, and more have been conducted in an attempt to determine which nutrients we need to supplement.

However, we have been aiming at the wrong target. The presenting problem is not a nutritional deficiency, but rather, underlying oxidative stress. ( Click on the link to read in details)

Oxidative stress has now been shown beyond any shadow of doubt via medical research to be the root cause of over 70 chronic degenerative diseases. Diseases like heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer’s dementia, macular degeneration, lupus, MS, and the list goes on and on.

Because oxidative stress is our concern rather than specific nutritional deficiencies, we must determine the best approach to preventing or controlling oxidative stress.

This is accomplished by bolstering one’s natural defenses through cellular nutrition.

Cellular nutrition is simply providing ALL nutrients to the cell at optimal levels.

This allows the cell to determine what it actually does and does not need.

I don’t have to worry about determining which nutrients the cell is deficient in.

I simply provide all of the important nutrients at optimal levels--those levels shown to provide a health benefit in the medical literature.

Any nutritional deficiencies will be automatically corrected over the next few months by this approach and all the other vital nutrients will be brought up to their optimal levels as well.

Cellular nutrition is providing the body with all the antioxidants along with the supporting

B vitamins and antioxidant minerals at optimal levels. This is "preventive medicine" at its best because we can literally attack the disease process at its core by preventing oxidative stress from occurring.

You may be wondering if we can control oxidative stress by simply improving our diet and eating more fruits and vegetables. This is definitely a good start.

By simply eating 7 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day you can decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, Alzheimer’s dementia, and cancer, two to three fold.

We certainly want to supplement a good diet—not a bad diet. However, even if you eat a great diet you can barely obtain the RDA level of all essential nutrients.

Medical studies have shown that less than 1% of the American population accomplishes this on a consistent basis.

Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA):

Research studies reveal standards of recommended daily allowance (RDA’s) have absolutely nothing to do with chronic degenerative diseases.

RDA’s were developed to avoid what are known as acute deficiency diseases like scurvy (deficiency of vitamin C), rickets (deficiency of vitamin D), and pellagra (deficiency of niacin). In other words, if you consumed the RDAs for vitamin C, vitamin D, and niacin, you would not develop any of these illnesses.

Admittedly, the RDA’s have done their job—how many people do you know suffer from these diseases? RDA’s first developed in the 1920’s and 1930’s. The list of nutrients included in the RDAs grew over the next two decades and in the early 1950s, the definition of RDAs expanded to include the amounts of nutrients needed for normal growth. Despite the fact that RDAs have proved useful, most physicians and laypeople tend to assign more meaning to RDA standards than they should.

After researching medical literature on the topic of oxidative stress and the amount of nutrients needed to prevent it, I found the optimal levels of nutrients known to provide health benefits are significantly greater those suggested by RDA levels. For example, the optimal level of vitamin E is 400 IU. The RDA is only 10 to 30 IU. That being the case, you may consider eating 400 IU of vitamin E. You would only need to eat 33 heads of spinach, or 27 pounds of butter; 80 avocados will do, or an alternative 5 pounds of wheat germ each and every day to obtain that level of vitamin E.

Similarly, the optimal level of vitamin C is approximately 1200 to 2000 mg daily, while the RDA is only 60 mg.

To eat the optimal levels of vitamin would need to consume 18 oranges, or 17 kiwifruit, or 160 apples. Put in this perspective, it becomes clear that the only way to obtain these levels of nutrients is to supplement our diet.

And this requires more than a generic multiple vitamin. One-a-day multiple vitamins are primarily based on RDA levels, thus providing no measurable health benefits.

Significantly more potent supplements are needed each day to provide the optimal levels to provide cellular nutrition. I will discuss more specific details in How to Choose a Quality Supplement.

The "Magic Bullet" Approach

Most scientific studies done on nutritional supplements are approached in the traditional way of testing drugs—hoping to discover a "magic bullet". A disease is isolated and targeted by one specific drug. The pharmaceutical results of that drug are then measured.

Research trials have been similarly conducted for nutritional supplements. For example,

calcium and vitamin D have been tested for their effects on osteoporosis;

vitamin E for heart disease,

magnesium for irregular heartbeats

or selenium to reduce the risk of cancer.

One problem remains, however: vitamins such as C, D and E are not drugs. They are natural nutrients that our bodies get from our foods.

The various antioxidants and supporting nutrients work on different types of free radicals and in different parts of the body.

Vitamin E is the best antioxidant within the cell membrane.

Vitamin C is most effective within the plasma.

Glutathione is works most efficiently within the cell itself.

Literally dozens of antioxidants are at work in various parts of the body and are effective against particular types of free radicals. They work together—synergistically-- to control oxidative stress.

This means that 1 plus 1 does not equal 2, but 8 or 10. Medical research separates these nutrients out and tries to study their individual effect. The amazing fact remains that the overwhelming majority of studies actually does show a health benefit with even an individual nutrient.

However, since oxidative stress is the underlying problem we must concern ourselves with, it is important to realize that all of these nutrients work together—synergy.

Vitamin C actually replenishes vitamin E and intracellular glutathione so it can be used over and over again. Alpha lipoic acid also regenerates vitamin E and glutathione.

In addition, these antioxidants need optimal levels of the B vitamins—folic acid, vitamin B1, B2, B6, and B12—in order to perform at optimal levels.

They also need the so-called antioxidant minerals such as: selenium, manganese, copper, and zinc to do their job right. If you have all the glutathione in the world available but are depleted in selenium, which glutathione needs to work, there will be very little health benefit.

When all of the necessary nutrients are provided to the cell in a complete and balanced nutritional supplement, the combined effect is phenomenal.

The potency of these nutrients in optimizing our body’s natural antioxidant, immune, and repair systems is certainly possible. Oxidative stress can be controlled and our health will be protected.

I also apply these principles for my patients who are already suffering from a major chronic degenerative disease.

I provide them with the same basic cellular nutrition I recommend for all my patients and then I add additional potent antioxidants to the regime tailored to each specific disease. When physicians take advantage of the most tremendous healing asset, the host--our bodies, and support it rather than denying its importance in the healing process, amazing clinical improvement is possible.

Cellular nutrition is about health, not disease. "Attacking" the root cause of chronic degenerative disease is true preventive medicine. By applying these same principles, you who are in good health can decrease the risk of developing these chronic degenerative diseases.
