Grant me the gift of counsel,
so that I may choose what is more conducive to my
spiritual advancement
and may discover the wiles and snares of the tempter.

Grant me the gift of understanding,
so that I may apprehend the divine mysteries
and by contemplation of heavenly things detach my thoughts
and affections from the vain things of this miserable
world.

Grant me the gift of wisdom,
so that I may rightly direct all my actions,
referring them to God as my last end;
so that, having loved Him and served Him in this life,
I may have the happiness of possessing Him eternally in the next.

Amen.

What is the Holy Spirit and how does it affect me
Is it something I can hear, touch, taste, smell or see
How do I know of its’ existence, is it even real
I just want to know if it is something I can feel

The Holy Spirit is the helper that Jesus has sent
To those who accept Christ as Savior and repent
The Holy Spirit comes to dwell in your heart with your soul
It fills a place that has long been empty and makes you whole

When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior
Many life-altering changes will quickly occur
You will have a desire to do what God asks of you
An overwhelming feeling of peace will consume you

As you study His Word, even more will be revealed
He will provide you with protection, your armor and shield
God will also empower you to complete His task
If you have any questions, simply turn to Him and ask

You will have to submit your life to God, which may seem tough
Don’t be afraid to let God know if you have had enough
God will never give you more than He knows you can bear
He cheers with you in triumph and hurts with you in despair

The Holy Spirit is your guide, but also your conscience
Follow God’s statutes and commandments with self-confidence
This means sharing God’s promise of salvation with the Lost
With help from the Holy Spirit they received at Pentecost

The Holy Spirit affects all senses and it is real
And since you have accepted Christ, it is something you can feel
May you abide in Jesus and Jesus abide in you
Through the Holy Spirit there is nothing you cannot do.

Beautiful song, Pops.

The average Filipino Doctor in the United States makes about $350,000 a year.
22,000 X 350,000 = 7,7000,000,000
$7.7 Billion annual income.

The average Filipino Nurse in the United States makes about $80,000 a year.
100,000 X 80,000 = 8,000,000,0000
$8 Billion annual income.


Guaranteed much of this income goes back to the Philippines to help family members.
Driving and aiding in the Philippine Economy.

There are over 22,000 Filipino Physicians in the United States that practice medicine.
Over 100,000 Filipino Nurses who practice nursing in the United States.

10% of the American Medical System is Filipino. And growing.

Marcos has indirectly affected the American society; and the American Medical System.

Fact.

Marcos' Greatest Imprint in the world.

Over 10 Million Filipinos Abroad.

The over 3 million Filipino-Americans and some 2 million Americans of partial Filipino blood are an effect of Filipino Migration Abroad.

Marcos facilitated the OFW program.

Quote from: Way Nada on March 03, 2010, 01:21:27 PM
Lorenzo,

The cultural division since the coming of the Spaniards in our country did not move, evolve or change. Nothing is new... it is still the same from its conception. One opinion maker I read in the papers extolling the cultural heritage that was brought by the Spaniards to our country. He was refering to the ilustrado culture, to which I replied; that the ilustrado culture only brings division among the Filipinos. I said this; "the ilustrado culture is a racist culture."

I noticed this division since I was a young man that when you are looking for a job at the Coca-Cola Plant of Tagbilaran you must be a meztiso to qualify as salesman. This is also true in Manila and until now parts of your resume to qualify for a job is that; you must have a pleasing personality, you must be a Catholic and if you are already old you are discriminated in favor of younger people.

Susmarosep! Ang mga maot ug nawong intawon dili maka-trabaho. Hehehe...

And the most blatant display of racial discrimination in our country was the political persecution of Erap. The line of thinking among the people who are believers of the mainstream media is like this; since Erap was elected by the poor... he is not qualified to be the president, he cannot speak English, he is not well educated and he has no knowledge of governance. For these reasons he must be ousted.

Way Nada,

I respect your opinion, as it is educated and covers many points. Given it is undeniable that the negative effects Spanish Imperialism had on our country from the people to the social fabric has remained so; an effect of Hispanismo. The Spaniards have left their imprint in our zealous nature when in regards to religion as well as in the fabric of family and the family unit.

In essence, it is the effect of Roman Law that has ruled and reigned throughout tour Pacific Archipelago for almost half a millenia. For me, the Spanish imprint has a dichotomy of results; both positive and negative.

The Oligarchy that was created due to the pseudo autonomous rule that Spain gave the Philippines (it really was the Filipino ruling the Filipino during Pax Hispanica). The Filipino Principales Class implemented inhibitory rules and laws to prevent the rise of the working class; as a way to limit the control of hte nation to the said Principales.

Filipinos of the Ilustrado Class were the ones who inhibited their own peoples; mestizos marrying only mestizos, and mestizos marrying only Spaniards. The Spaniards did not care who they married as it was a Royal Promulgation by Felipe II of Espana that miscegenation was necessary. It was policy that Spanish blood be mingled with the 'Indios' to facilitate the Hispanization of the colony. This was a policy that Spain implemented not only in the Philippines but throughout its possessions in the New World.

A result of this policy, there are over 500 Million Spanish Speaking peoples in the world. Central, South America, The Philippines etc are a result of Spanish overseas miscegenation. Their effects can be seen: Culturally, Linguistically, and Genetically (he he he).

The concept of Mestizo superiority was a Filipino-grown effect. It was the Filipino Mestizo that implemente dracist clause against his own brother (the full blooded indio). The Spaniards did not care, so long as they paid taxes, were loyal to the church and did not rebel against King and Country, they could care less. The Principlaes Class (particularly Mestizos at the time) thought themselves more superior in that they ran government and ran the political structure; a way of proving to the Imperialist Spaniards that they were equal if not greater than the Spaniards.

What I do find rather interesting, is how the Principales Class has changed throughout the 100 years since Spain lost control of its Asiatic Bastion.

During Spain's control, the Chinese were considered subhuman. And many laws were implemented to prevent Chinese immigrants from marrying with Spaniards, Spanish Mestizos, and the Indios. They were literally considered the bottom of the totem pole, next to the negro and mulattos in society.

However, since that time, it is the Chinese-Filipinos that now control the Principales Class.
As well as control commerce in the Philippines. The Chinese have married into the very class that once prevented and barred them from society.

It is now the Chinese-Filipino who marries the Spanish mestiza or the indio.

So amazing...., if this would be possible to man, gays and lesbians will be happy.
A gay will say, "magpakababae na lang ako,"

Good point. Brod. Felix.

Homosexuality is actually a genetic predisposition for genetic annihilation.

Homosexuality defies natural proliferation of species; and its concordance is related to species deviation.

However, in man, we do not worry of species deviation, since we have now produced man-made fertilization methods to continue the species (invitro fertilization).

There is no such thing as homosexeual (same-sex) proliferation in the natural world.

It is a proclivity of mankind.

Man is the only species that defies natural law. In every single aspect.

When natural resources decrease (as in food products), species numbers will fall.

Man defies this by utilizing widepsread agrarian methods and herding of animals to potentiate resources and utilizes global trade to provide food resources to regions that are geographically limited.

Animals die to the pathogens of bacterial infection when they are weak; following Darwinian Law of the weak dying and making room for the strong.

Man defies this by implementation of medicine. Those who normally would have died without the advent of medical science are living.

Man is the only species that has no natural predator and competitor. We outcompete ever single species of animal in this earth.

And we utilize even bacteria and viruses to implement medical breakthroughs for the betterment of the entire species (aka ~ lysogeny).

Why are we able to do this?
Simple.

Man is made in the Image of God.
We can create as the creator.
For we are in essence a manifestation of The Creator of the Worlds.

Highly unlikely for humans since we are the highest level of organismal development. The perfect species is Man. The echelon and perfect example of eurkaryotic living organism; where our sexual maturity latency is higher than that of the simplified eurkaryotic species (as liken to frogs) who develop sexual maturity in aquatic environments.

Humans develop sexual phenotype and genotype intrauterine. And is secured through the perfection of Mitosis/Meiosis I&II.

We were designed in His Image.

We are truly the perfect example of an automaton.

Can this be true?  We,  in countries where there are 4 sesons, depression is not unusual during dark months, winter days because we need sunshine.

This is not just fact, but medical law.

Sun light is correlated and related to melatonin levels. Melatonin is not related to sleeping, but rather to feelings of sleepiness.

Its production is in the pineal glands and directly in the retinas of the eyes.

Its release is inhbited by daylight and at nighttime, levels rise dramatically.

Any alteration of the inhibitory pathway (daylight), will lead to an abnormal increased level of melatonin.

Excessive melatonin levels can lead to depression. Hence the manifestation of S.A.D.

Hence the high rates of suicides in northern nations/states; particularly in Europe during winter.

Quote from: ms da binsi on March 02, 2010, 08:12:12 PM
same here Manay, naa jud ko seasonal depression. its bad! really bad! i hated it!

This is actually related to your melatonin levels. Melatonin decreases in cases of high light (in the day) and rises dramatically at the night.

In cases of winter months were one does not see enough light or sun, melatonin levels will be abnormal.
(Release is inhibited by daylight, and at nighttime, levels rise dramatically; so the abnormality here is due to winter effect; due to the reduction of sun light in northern states in winter, this leads to a decreased inhibition of melatonin levels due to the increased night time/darkness).

This leads to S.A.D (Seasonal Affective Depression).

The treatment we recommend for this is adjusting melatonin levels with light therapy, and not pills..

Not just in frogs but also in fish species. It has been studied that in case of environmental stressors that resulted in decreased males and an increased female population, females will produce gametes--leading to the formation of male sexual phenotype.

A species-adaptive trait.

Way Nada,

You hit the nail on the coffin in your analysis; especially considering the political and economic echelon's role in sacking Erap from office and in their relation to the repudiation of Marcos's Administration. And if one studies the evolution of Philippine Society, the power of the rich few has not changed. The so called 'echelon' is the same Principales Class that ruled the Philippine Society, the same class that worked with the Friars and the Spanish Colonial Government.

What amazes me is that the Oligarchy remains. It was a powerful force in the late 19th century, and remains so to this very day, using the mass under the veneer of People's Power to retain their own consolidated control of government and the national finance.

In regards to Marcos, I remain neutral to him, with an undeniable fondness for his Machiavellian style of rule. He was, the perfect politician.

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:11

But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness.

The true nature of Edsa I and II is a naked grabbed of power. It is a feeling of pride to some people to say that they were at Edsa as part of history during those four days in February when they toppled Marcos. 

In those four days in February it shows the influence media had on the people when they reversed the true meaning of democracy. The media wanted us to believe that Edsa is democratic and some of the people, I believe they are the minority... like cattle led into the slaughterhouse gave their all out faith and support of Edsa. 

The propaganda spun by the media that Edsa one is the restoration of our democracy is purely hogwash because... if you look at the people who led to restore our democracy like the late Cory Aquino and Cardinal Sin, the military, the academe and the elite of Manila are almost the same people who ousted Erap from power. And they let the ordinary people who do not even know the implication and meaning of a political issue to protest in the street for justice and democracy.

The late Cory Aquino the leader of the first Edsa did not understand what she was doing when she led the people again in the ousting of Erap. She is reverred as the restorer of democracy. Erap as a post Marcos president is a product of the belief in Edsa. The ousting of Erap from power is contrary to the tenet of democracy therefore the idea that Cory Aquino restored our democracy is a misnomer that will lead us to believe that Edsa I and II are all political maneuvers to advance their own selfish interest... which is the greed for power.

ha ha ha. Okay ra pood kai mo shower afterwards.

In my confidence, I asked my date to the prom for a break time. And I then walked to the direction of Prudence (the girl who i originally wanted to ask out) and while she was dancing with her date, I asked her if I could have the honor of the dance. She smiled and gave me her hand. So we danced.

With my peripherals I could see her date's face. I did not care.

All I wanted was to dance with this beautiful woman. Who was the target of my affection all 4 years of high school.

I gave her a kiss after the dance and parted. She had soft and warm hands.

When I was in college several years ago, I would go hiking in the mountains during winter (in the Allegheny Mountains) and watch the sunsets. It was so beautiful. You could see the stars even before the sun set. Glorious!

Make Love.

I was a senior in high school. The target of my affection did not accept my proposal to take her to prom. I was heartbroken.

Instead I took another girl. Beautiful.

When I was dancing with her on the dance floor, I saw the girl that I wanted to take to the prom dancing with another man.

~~

A beautiful woman.

When I first met my Love.

When I first saw her, I wanted to know who she was. I introduced myself, and when her eyes met mine. I could not stop smiling.

The rest is history. he he he

A woman is happy when she is shown Love.

Thanks for the message, M.

I had not known love before you.

All other women before you do not come close, nor compare, nor have touched me as deeply as you.
I have truly known not love till you came. Till you broke down the winter's cold of my heart. And surrounded me with the raging fire of red Love.

All I ask, my dearest one, is that you continue to love me as I love you.
Continue to believe in me as I in you. Continue to keep your eyes on the goal.

I would do anything for you.
I should want to climb the icy towers if I could to declare my love.
But knowing you, and knowing the sweet simplicity of your Love.
You do not ask for such.
You merely seek and want to be loved.
To Love and to be Loved.

How beautiful art thou.
With the truest meaning of the word "beauty".


I GLORIFY GOD IN THE HEAVENS FOR THIS LOVE.

Who Can Compare to you?

No other woman can smile as bright as you, or can melt my heart so easily so quickly.
No other woman has the keys to my heart as you do.

Who is as beautiful as you? No woman can compare. None comes close. None can compete.

You are the queen of my heart.
You are part of my soul.

I love you so much.

To My Darling One,

Is there ever a day that I do not think of you?
Is there ever a day that sun fails to rise on morning
Is there ever a day that the stars do not sparkle ?
Is there ever a day that winter ends and spring comes forth?

I miss you terribly.

Why I love Valencia?

Because of my family. I terribly miss my Lolo Ciano.

I want to see him again.

Lolo, mingaw ko nimo..

Behold all the wondrous creation of my God, I'm forever thankful

Amen, sister. All Glory, Praise and Honor belong to The Lord God.

The Author of All Things.

Hi There Brother and Sister.

Many of you may not know me, but I come to you as a brother in Jesus Christ.
Have you ever felt really low in your life, had feelings of doubt and uncertainties and just a sense of unexplainable sorrow?
There is a rectification to that. For sorrow and this guilt that you feel is manifest in the sin of the world. And sin itself.
Sin, itself, is answerable to punishment. And that punishment is death.

However, there is salvation from the sin of death, which is life.
And that salvation is in Jesus Christ.

Yes. He is the answer to all questions, treatment to any and all problems. Physical or spiritual. Mental as well as environmental.
I invite all of you to open your hearts and minds to the Love that is in Jesus Christ who is LORD.

Declare with your mouths and your hearts and your soul that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior.
Accept Him today. Right Now. Accept Him as your Lord and Personal Savior.

And brothers and sisters, you will be saved.
By faith and by action, you will be saved.

The Gift of Life is given to us by Jesus Christ's death and crucifixion on the Cross.
His ascension to Heaven on the Third Day is Testament to God Glory.
A Glory that He wishes enrobe you with. For Jesus Is The Glory of God.



GOD BLESS!


That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
--Romans 10:9

Most of all, I am humbled and awed that I walk on the footsteps of those who tredded before me. And knowing that I am leaving footsteps for those who will come after me.

Yes, that was the medicine of the day, Ma'am States. The days before pasteurization, the days before sterilization techniques. The days before anesthesia and analgesics. The days before CT scans, MRIs, etc.

The days where medicine was based on IPPD (Inspection, Palpation, Percussion, and Diagnosis).

Unfortunately, many of those soldiers in the great Civil War did not die due to their wounds gained in valor in the battlefield, but died due to septicemia (sepsis).

It is humbling for me to know this. That behind the valor of the soldiers of the Federal Army in the Civil War was the hands of the Federal Surgeon and Surgical Nurse, saving those who could be saved with the medical knowhow at the time.

It is amazing how the medical profession has made giant leaps since then. Humbling and awing at the same time.

[Verse1]

So sweet, so beautiful
Everyday like, queen on her throne
No, nobody knows how she feel
Aicha, Lady one day it'll be real

She moves, she moves like a breeze
I swear I can't get her out of my dreams
To have her shining right here by my side (shining like a star)
I'd sacrifice all them tears in my eyes
ohohohh

[Chorus]

Aicha Aicha - passing me by (there she go again)
Aicha Aicha - my my my (is it really real?)
Aicha Aicha - smile for me now (I don't know, I don't know)
Aicha Aicha - in my life (Yeah)

[Verse2]

Mmm, she holds her child to her heart
Makes her feel like she blessed from above
Falls asleep underneath her sweet tear
Lullaby fades away with his fear
ohh

[1/2Chorus]

Aicha Aicha - passing me by (there she go again)
Aicha Aicha - my my my (Like this, here we go)

[Bridge]

Needs somebody'lean on (lean on)
Someone body, mind & soul (body, mind & soul)
To take her hand, to take her world
Show her the time of her life, so true (true)
Throw the pain away for good
No more contemplating (boo) (No more contemplatin)
No more con.tem.pla.ting boohoho (aha)

[Verse3]

Lord knows the way she feel (I wonder)
Everyday in his name she begins
To have her shining here by my side
I'd sacrifice all them tears in my eyes
Ohh

Aicha Aicha - passing me by (there she go again)
Aicha Aicha - my my my

Les fruits bien murs au gout de miel
Ma vie, Aicha, si tu m'aimes

J'irai ou ton souffle nous mene,
dans les pays d'ivoire et d'ebene
J'effacerai tes larmes, tes peines,
rien n'est trop beau pour une si belle

Aicha, aicha, ecoute moi
Aicha, aicha, t'en vas pas
Aicha, aicha, regarde moi
Aicha, aicha, reponds moi

Je dirai les mots, les poemes
je jouerai les musiques du ciel
Je prendrai les rayons du soleil
pour eclairer tes yeux de reve

Moi, je vaus mieux que tout ca
Des barreaux sont des barreaux memes en or,
Je veux les memes droits que toi
Du respect pour chaque jour
Moi, je ne veux que de l'amour

Comme si je n'existais pas

Surgeons will always be surgeons. Notice the arm pose. ha ha ha!

Besides France,

I would have loved to have lived in the time of the Great American Civil War.

I have visited the great American Battle Field site of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania back in 2007. I was lucky enough to enter the Historic Surgical Museum, seeing with my eyes the kinds of medical kits and surgical equipment that the surgeons/doctors of the day utilized. A saw and brute anesthetics to dim the pain of soldier/patients before amputation.

Humbling. When I saw the old surgical kits and read the testaments by a young Federal Army Surgeon, his personal testament in amputating over 400 soldiers in a single week; was rather humbling.

Indeed, the best place to train a surgeon is a battlefield. As in the olden days.

Wow. I am now officially hungry. Yum.

Precious Holy Spirit,
Lord of my Life.

How doth you affect me in the most unknown of places,
as I walk to my parking lot and see the glimmer of the sun,
hear the chirp of birds.
I feel within the chest of my soul a sense of unexplainable joy that comes from you.
Lord you are The King of My Life.

In all the things that I do,
I glorify thee in all that I do.
Source of my well being,
Source of my victories,
Giver of Victories,
Giver of comfort,
Silencer of cries and wailing.

Beautiful Holy Spirit that permeats my soul.
How beautiful it is to visit thy humble abode in the Holy Sacrament.
To see the Heart of Jesus.

Wherever I may go, May I always feel your presence.
O Come, Holy Spirit.
Live in me. as I in you.

So that whatever I may do, I may Glorify You.
All the days of my life.

Today we had lunch after our psychiatric medical review. One thing I notice was that most of us in the medical field like to use technical terms ; a rationalization technique.

As I ate with my colleagues, could not help but refer to the terms that Dr. Fadem, Professor of Psychiatric Medicine in UMDNJ's Newark Campus, dictated in today's lecture. And as we walked back to the lecture hall, was amazed how I began to psychoanalyze individuals as we walked back.

An effect that not only I, but several of my colleagues, started doing. Fritz joked, "Lets psychoanalze each other."

Ha, already did.

Just now gabasa ani nga poem:

DO NOT JUDGE

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp -
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.

‘And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT!

Remember just going to church doesn't make you a Christian
any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Every saint has a PAST
But every sinner has a future, too.

Good poem, Pops. Thanks for sharing.

Came back from medical seminar review. Psychiatry was the topic today.

Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

Carrie Underwood - How Great Thou Art

Beautiful Voice. Glorifying The Lord Jesus Christ.

O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Powerful!

Rizal once wrote to a woman friend, (a married woman, at that):

Mrs. Irene Trine

Don’t be deceitful, don’t be disturbed, don’t dream â€"

Carry, defiantly triumphant â€"

Away, the dreamy look â€"

Wipe off the tears of tragic distress â€"

Drink down trickling, refreshing

Bunch of grapes

-J.Rizal

A portrait of a young Jose Rizal. If you look into his eyes, one can see the spirit of youth.
With all the energy that youth entailed.
There lay within those eyes and that beautiful mind, that would awaken a nation.
And would melt many a heart of women abroad.

Truly, a great Filipino.

And old oil canvas of the picturesque streets in Paris, France.
The late 19th century (specifically 1885).

I would have loved to have lived in this time. When the era of the pen was nigh, when lovers wrote to each other fastidiously. I should have wanted to live then.

PS. To Ate Belle, did you know that the Great Dr. Rizal studied and specialized in opthalmologic surgery in Paris, France?

Our beloved great Filipino was educated in Spain, specialized in Heidelburg, Germany, and then gained further specialty training in Paris, France.

Many historians like to claim that Rizal died without children. I protest to that. From reading Rizal's journals and his collection of poems, he was a rather connoisseur in the arts of women. He was a gentleman, that cannot be argued, however, he had relationships with English women, French, German, Spanish as well as Filipina Mestizas. I am sure Rizal's many years in Europe and his many varied tastes in relationships led to children. Unclaimed, perhaps.

He was known to have had a soft and deep voice. Firm and gentle hands with eyes that could pierce a woman's heart. He was not only a learned physician, but a great poet, orator, national hero, but was also a lover. He loved.

the Philippine's Spanish Era sa panahon sa mga friars. I might be one of the rebels like Rizal.

Ah, but the Spanish soldiers would not harm you like they did to the great Rizal, Ate Belle, for your beauty would make the Hispanoles drop their guns. And you can turn on them.

There is a rather beautiful medical resident in our floor. Dr. Patricia ________

A woman originally from South America. She is so beautiful and gorgeous. Intelligent as well.

She is exceptionally kind to me and our class.

How nice of her. She expressed her interest to visit Spain in the not too distant future.

Amazing. Spain.

Yesterday was my first time of seeing a patient with the rare  HA (hereditary angioedema). Patient cam eiwth stridor due to the obstruction of the larynx via laryngeal edema and also had  colic. The reason for this was because of a defieciency of C1 esterase inhibitors. The attending came. Asked what the MOA (mechanism of action) was; we dictated. He agreed.

Treatment was rather simple.  We ordered this patient be given  epsiolon aminocaproate. Which inhibits plasma activation of C1; and thus reduces the symptomology of frequent episodes.

In a couple of hours, patient's edema subsided.

EFFING AMAZING.

Is it a medical mystery or a miracle? A South Florida man pronounced dead from a massive heart attack and then brought back to life. His doctor says the man was raised from the dead by a simple prayer. Seven's Louis Aguirre has the story.

WSVN -- Dr. Chauncey Crandall isn't your usual doctor. The world-renowned cardiologist is a man of medicine and science, but he's also a man of faith.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "If you come in with a problem into our service, we are definitely going to treat you with conventional medicine, but we are going to believe it too. We are going to attack it with conventional medicine, and we are going to attack it with prayer."

He calls himself the Christian physician because he prays with each heart patient he sees at his Palm Beach practice. The difference, he says, is dramatic.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "The reason I pray for people is because I found, early in my trained practice, that there were miracles, unexplained healings."

But even his strong faith could not prepare him for what would happen the day Jeff Markin walked into the Palm Beach Gardens emergency room.

Jeff Markin: "I drove to the Garden's Hospital, went in, took out my wallet and fell on the floor with a massive heart attack."

For 40 minutes doctors and nurses in the ER tried to revive him. When they couldn't get his heart started again they called for Dr. Crandall, who was doing rounds in the hospital at the time.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "As I entered the ER it was like a war zone. Here was this lifeless body on a stretcher."

The doctor couldn't do anything and could only confirm what everyone already knew, Jeff was dead. He had gone almost an hour without a heartbeat, and his body was starting to decompose.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "His face, his arms, his legs were pitch black with death. I said, 'Let's just call the code, let's end it because there's no life left.'"

As Dr. Crandall turned to leave, he says he got another call this time, a call from God to pray.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "A voice told me to turn around and pray for that man. I looked down at the body, and I said, 'Lord, what can I pray for this man? He's gone.' All of a sudden these words came out, 'Father, I cry out for this man's soul, if he does not know, you raise him from the dead.'"

Despite protests from doctors and nurses who were preparing Jeff's body for the morgue, doctor Crandall insisted they shock him one more time.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "So that doctor came over with those paddles and blasted that man and, all of a sudden, instantly a perfect heartbeat came up on the monitor. The stomach started moving, the chest started moving. This man started breathing on his own, and I said, 'This man has been prayed for, he has been brought back from the dead by prayer in the name of Jesus.'"

Louis Aguirre: "So where was Jeff during all of this? He believes he left his body and crossed over to the after life."

Jeff Markin: "I was actually standing in the back of the funeral home, and I came to realize that this was my funeral.

But, in the middle of sitting alone in darkness, Jeff says a figure suddenly appeared to him.

Jeff Markin: "There was a figure that identified himself as Bob, and he was going to make sure that everything was going to be OK. I'm figuring that was my guardian angel. At that time, a very peaceful feeling and very relaxed feeling came over me, and then he said he had to go and, the next thing I know, I woke up in my daughter's arms."

He woke up to a second chance, one that can't be explained by medicine or science. As Dr. Crandall puts it, the only answer is divine intervention.

Dr. Chauncey Crandall: "You are speaking to a scientist, a cardiologist, someone who loves medicine. I've never, ever seen this. There are always people that do not believe these events, and I will just tell them that it did happen. It was a real story, a real life that was restored."

Jeff wasn't exactly a believer before that day. He didn't regularly attend church or read the Bible, but this experience has made him believe there is a higher purpose for his life.

Jeff Markin: "I feel like maybe I am supposed to be a messenger. I want to get the right message across that miracles do happen."

A miracle that brought him life after death.

Jeff Markin: "I'm so happy I have a second chance."

Louis Aguirre: "Jeff says he is now attending church mainly because he wants to figure out why he was chosen for a second chance at life."

By Raymond McCaffrey

The Gazette

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Back when Dr. Arnold Ahnfeldt was serving his residency, he was confronted with a difficult case involving a hairdresser who faced amputation of her severely infected thumb.

After neither medication nor surgery had stemmed the infection, Ahnfeldt posed a somewhat novel alternative.

"We've reached the limits of our abilities," Ahnfeldt recalls telling the attending physician. "I think we ought to include God here."

Though the older doctor was skeptical, he agreed to join Ahnfeldt and pray with the patient the night before the scheduled amputation. The next morning, doctors found that the infection had dramatically improved. Amputation was no longer necessary -- a development Ahnfeldt considered "a miracle."

Today, roughly 25 years after Ahnfeldt served his residency at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, he is an orthopedic surgeon in his hometown, Colorado Springs, and prayer remains as much of a professional tool to him as the scalpel.

"It's very easy for physicians to get the God complex," Ahnfeldt said. "I don't heal people. God heals people."

Ahnfeldt's philosophy is apparently being shared by more and more doctors. Not only are physicians praying with patients, but researchers studying how prayer affects healing have also found -- somewhat amazingly -- that in most cases it helps people get better.

Those developments are part of what could be called a spiritual awakening in the nation's medical profession. Even the esteemed Harvard Medical School holds a regular conference on spirituality and medicine, and many more teaching hospitals are falling in step.

"This is a major new movement bringing back concepts of religious practice and spirituality into the medical schools," said Dr. Larry Dossey, the New Mexico-based author of several books on prayer and healing. "Three years ago, there were only three medical schools that have courses looking at these issues."

Currently, Dossey, said there are around 40.

Indeed, research has shown that religion is, in essence, good medicine. Hundreds of studies have shown religious devotion is statistically correlated with greater longevity and health, Dossey said.

Those findings could be explained away as merely a matter of positive thinking: Religious people simply feel better about themselves and that makes them healthier. Harder to dismiss are the studies suggesting the positive impact of prayer.

A ground-breaking study published in 1988 drew the profession's attention, according to Dossey. Nearly 400 patients in the coronary care unit at a San Francisco hospital received the same standard medical treatment with one difference: Half were prayed for by an assigned group, half weren't.

Ultimately, researchers discovered that there were fewer deaths and fewer medical complications among those who had been the recipients of prayer.

Those findings -namely, that prayer has a positive effect -- have been replicated many times over the years, Dossey said. In fact, even plants and fungi have been found to grow faster when they were prayed for.

"Prayer works," said Dossey, who practiced internal medicine for about 20 years before becoming a full-time writer and eventually began praying for his patients as a matter of course.

"The skeptics always say the prayer didn't do anything; the people suspect that they were being prayed for and got better because of positive thinking. This doesn't hold in studies for nonhumans.

"It cannot be explained away by positive thinking is my bottom line.

"We can't say how prayer works. We just say it works ... For most people there will be evidence for them that there is a God who answers prayers."

Certainly, prayer research deserves credit for forcing the medical profession to focus on patients' spiritual needs. However, the movement apparently also has been fueled by consumer demand.

"People are hungry for a respiritualization of health care," Dossey said. "You could almost predict that this would happen. People want more than treatment as if they were a machine."

Indeed, one reason Colorado Springs resident Dave Gaw, a commercial airline pilot, chose Ahnfeldt to repair a damaged knee was because the surgeon is a Christian.

"A doctor who knows where his talent comes from ... and who's the true healer," Gaw said.

The movement to integrate the spiritual and the medical is bigger than individual doctors praying with their patients.

For example, Denver-based Centura Health has a committee devoted solely to spirituality and health. At the beginning of this year, Centura-operated Penrose-St.Francis Health Services decided to formally include chaplains on all case-management teams. It was part of an initiative to put spirituality "more on the front burner," said Dr. Ted Lewis, medical director of care management services.

Though Lewis said he personally would like to see more evidence about the effect of prayer on healing, he certainly is open to the concept.

In "modern Western high-tech medicine," spirituality has become "a forgotten factor," he said.

"It is the one thing that we have ignored, that is part of every human being. If we can tap into that part of a person's being and use that in a positive fashion, we probably will see significant changes in the way that people respond to treatment and how they heal and how they get over an illness."

In a certain sense, the movement is as much a step backward as a step forward.

"The physician as a healer was not uncommonly the priest in ancient civilizations," Lewis said. "There's been obviously in more modern times a real division of that."

Some are concerned that physicians continue to respect the division between religion and medicine. A malpractice carrier, Englewood-based Copic Insurance Co., even asked psychiatrist David Wahl for guidelines for integrating religion with medicine.

Writing in the July issue of Copic's regular newsletter, Wahl cautioned physicians to "ensure that the doctor role is not confused with the clergy role." He added, "It can be very confusing for patients to actively participate in religious practice (e.g., pray) with their doctor. No matter how well-trained the doctor is within a faith, the doctor is seen as the expert in medical science."

Wahl also advised doctors to "develop a clear understanding of the patient's current belief system" and to "assess the patient's comfort level" with such discussions about spirituality.

Wahl's guidelines mirror precautions some physicians already have taken. Dr. R. Michael Sherwin, who in the late 1970s was a founding member of an interdenominational Bible study group for Colorado Springs area physicians, said that back then, doctors were concerned about how their spirituality should impact their practices. More specifically, how should they let patients know they were open to discussing such matters?

One doctor suggested placing Bibles on their office desks. Though Sherwin, a pathologist for Penrose-St. Francis, didn't see patients, he took up the practice.

Today, Sherwin's faith is more obvious: His office is adorned by numerous signs with spiritual sayings, such as: "Work for the Lord. The pay isn't much, but the retirement plan is out of this world."

Ahnfeldt has a Bible and religious pictures in his office, too. However, sometimes if he knows the patient is open to it, he is a little more forthright about introducing faith.

In the case of one patient, Lt. Col. James Polo, Ahnfeldt asked him if he wanted to pray moments before he was to be wheeled in for surgery on his right knee last year.

"When we finished talking about everything he said, 'Would you like me to pray for you?' ... I said, 'Sure,' " recalled Polo, senior psychiatrist at Fort Carson's Evans Army Community Hospital.

"He prayed ... just asked for guidance from the Lord, that the surgery went well, that the recuperation following it went well."

"Actually it was kind of a nice moment of peace before all the medical stuff starts," Polo said.

"He was very respectful about the way he offered. I think in my personal situation it did calm me down a bit. It certainly didn't harm me in any way."

In fact, the operation was a success, and the patient was up and around on crutches in two days.

"Would I say that I had a good result because of prayer? Well, I had a good result. I don't know why I had a good result. I think part of it was I had a good surgeon.' "

"Lord, who on earth did minister to those who helpless lay in pain and weakness, hear me now, as unto Thee I pray.

Give to mine eyes the power to see the hidden source of ill; Give to mine hand the healing touch, the throb of pain to still.

Grant that mine ears be swift to hear the cry of those in pain; Give to my tongue the words that bring comfort and strength again.

Fill Thou my heart with tenderness, my brain with wisdom true; And when in weariness I sink, strengthen Thou me anew.

So in Thy footsteps may I tread, strong in Thy strength alway; So may I do Thy blessed work, and praise Thee day by day."

Kindness.

Poignant.

Dearest friend,
Ma'am Orchids (Aya),
Has over a year truly passed?
I still remember that day. It was a September 26, 2008.
I came back from the medical library; then I received the message of your departure.
I could not react. When the Lord took you back home, like the rest of our family in Tubag Bohol, I was affected.
Where has the time gone?

17 months. Almost a year and a half since your passing. Where has the time gone?

One thing that I learned from you, my friend is faith.

Faith in family.
Faith in children.
Faith in friends.
And most of all, Faith in Jesus Christ.

Precious you were in life that the LORD GOD took you from us early.
We do not question why He did this.
But we accept it with heartfelt condolence and cannot help but weep.
Tho you may not be here in the physical,
you have truly touched us.
In the spirit and in the mind.

That Life indeed is fleeting.
What was will be gone.
But tho we may die in the physical,
if we have FAITH in Jesus Christ, we shall be awakened in Glory.
And shall see The Glory of God in Jesus Christ who is LORD.

We remember you.
The Lord bless you endlessly.
The Lord bless your family and friends.


I weep for you. For I miss you.
This is natural.
Until the day I see you again.


The Lord is Kind.
The Lord is Glorified.
His Promises Is Eternal.
Believe and even death cannot separate us from the LOVE OF GOD in JESUS CHRIST.

A question was asked of me, "What happens when one person dies? Do ghosts exist?"


Answer:
Scripture declares truth and answers your question in Hebrews Chapter 9, verse 27:
"And just as it is appointed for men to die once, and after that comes judgment."


When a man or woman dies, his or her soul is judged before the judgement seat of Christ.
According to his or her faith and his or her works.
Salvation in Christ or Eternal Damnation in the Pyre that is Hell.

The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.
Psalm 145:18-19

The fear of the LORD teaches a man wisdom, and humility comes before honor.
Proverbs 15:33

Do not fret because of evil men or be envious of those who do wrong;
for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

Psalm 37:1-2
