sorry bout this but i would really like to know where u get this info on studies that panadol takes 5 years to ermm fully disintegrate? or is it something that you are saying based on wat ppl say? if it is a real study do you know the actual percentage of it? or who is actually doing the study? if you say dont take panadol then wat would you do if the pain was so severe that you cannot 'tahan' ?
of course lifestyle changes is a must in any type of illness.. n for gastric case is actually to eat 3 meals a day, no snacks in between n of course try not to take a heavy supper before sleep... food supplement are good but like the word says.. its food SUPPLEMENT.. not treatment.. so its just supplement to your daily diet
on another note i would like to ask you something on this.. which i find unreliable.. you said that many friends of yours with health problems take this food supplement n get better.. so i would like to ask you that do you know how many ppl that actually take that food supplement n dont recover?
this is a common misunderstanding when especially sales person trying to sell their traditional medicine.. they'll say alot of ppl get cured.. but they dont say how many dont get cured.. for eg. out of 500 ppl 20 got cured.. the rest didnt.. so 20 is a lot of ppl... but compare it with 480 ppl who dont.. is it still helpful?
there was a doctor in US who actually did cleansing of this guy's colon. what he found in the 'mass' are not fully disintegrated pills, capsules, and of course, all the rubbish he has been eating over the years. i dont have proof of the study, but it does make sense that pills take a long time to disintegrate. just take panadol, drop into water and see how long does it fully dissolve, like when you add salt to water, you dont see anything anymore cos it dissolves well.
i agree that food supplement is just SUPPLEMENT. we are supposed to eat a healthy diet and supplement our diet with vitamins cos the food that we eat these days are low in nutrition, compared to our grandparents' days. why is it so common to hear that ppl have cancer these days, compared to 50 years ago? its our diet. last time, our grandparents plant vege without chemicals, chicken take a few mths to be fully grown. now, everything is fast and big. how? chemicals la. so when there are chemicals or anything synthetic, definitely the nutrition content in the food that we eat will be affected.
about ppl not recovering after taking food supplement, maybe its cos the problem is too serious. health problems take years to develop and of cos it takes some time for the body to heal on its own. drugs can do it fast cos it addresses the symptoms not the root. tats why there is relapse sometimes. food supplements go to the root and thus takes longer time to take effect. i'm not saying that food supplement can CURE serious ailments like cancer. i'm just saying food supplement can help to relieve semi healthy conditions like migraine, gastric, constipation, etc.
as to the numbers, for it to be reliable you have to have a proper study. what i'm sharing is what i hear from friends, not something taken off from some study. hope that clears the air.
