1) Rui En is very cute but seems like she is quite suay lately.  She is driving a BMW with Matt sticker and licence plate of many 2 numbers, 2 is an earth element and for the cute Rui En (if she deliberately choose 2 especially), it means there is an expression streak in her energy which is good for her career (in her case, expression = increase acting skill).

2) She got 2 nobleman elements in her chart. Ox and goat. Lucky but fighting. 

3) As i do not have her hour pillar therefore I can only analyse based on limited info. 

All Ding Fire are kind hearted people, they want to do good in this world even at the detriment to themselves. This is a problem for weak fire people. 

Anyway, Ding Fire is like a candle light, unpredictable so many of their friends will feel the cold and hot treatment from time to time. Sometimes Rui En feels like seeing you, sometimes Rui En don't feel so. 

Anyway due to limited info on her birth chart, these are some general luck transformation methods: 

1) Rui's favorable elements are wood and fire to neutralize the black color on her car.  Black is water and represents power/legal/kpo from authorities, it will weaken your 元气 and affect your luck.

2) If happen to be weak fire people, well it becomes impossible to everyone at once. So choose timings, 1st year of the year do the more important things, 2nd half of the year must be very careful when doing important things.

3) 2 may not her favorable number as it seems to attract competitors who also has attraction to "2" which is an outdated age & period number to "bio" your car for faults. A better and luckier license plate number with wood element numbers 3 & 8. 3 & 8 are good numbers for you as wood elements and also will bring more  靠山 and meaningful benefactors.

3 Warning Signs that herald Carrie Fisher’s passing in 2016

3 Warning Signs that herald Carrie Fisher’s passing in 2016

Princess Leia, played by Carrie Fisher had passed away, she had just turned 60 years old in 2016. 

The significance of 60 in Chinese Metaphysics.

For the Chinese 60 years old is a major life milestone, considered as life coming in one full cycle of 60 years in a sexagenary cycle (Bazi elements system featured exactly 60 pairs of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches).

Traditions of Chinese when it comes to birthday celebration.

From a Chinese metaphysics point of view, there is a transformation from a “heavenly body” to a “human body” at different age and life stages. 

Age 1-16: At this age humans are closer to the  “heavenly bodies” form, their soul is hardy,  they are “allowed” to celebrate their birthdays as frequently and as grand in style as the family can afford to. 

Age 17 - 59: Humans have transited from “heavenly body” to proper “Human body”. The soul is now fragile as life itself,  Birthday celebrations are still “allowed” according to provincial traditions, but all will follow a structured system e.g. One cannot celebrate their birthday exactly at the tenth year mark (20, 30 etc) and such “special” birthday celebrations has to be completed the year before (only celebrate 20th and 30th birthday at age 19, 29 years old respectively. ). In some cases, people also only celebrate their 30th birthday and skipped the 40th birthday.

Age 60 - 79: One sexagenary cycle of 60 years has passed, humans are considered to be in advanced age. At this stage, one should no longer celebrate their birthday in a grand manner, doing so may aroused the attention from the guardians of Hell and not live past their 60 years old. 

Age 80: At this age, humans have returned back to their “heavenly bodies” forms, rejoice! Their souls become hardy again and should have big birthday celebrations, setting off the fire crackers and announced to the whole world that it is their birthday! 

One rule of exception though, if that particular year is a clash with their duty “Tai Sui” (jupiter star) then only for that year, the birthday celebrations must go back to underground … celebrate as quietly as possible. E.g. if you are born in year of rabbit and the current year is also rabbit. 

Of course nowadays, many Chinese people no longer observed this “taboo” as lifespan has continued to be extended thanks to advances in sanitary systems, medical science and better nutrition.

Now let's analyse Carrie Fisher's birthday and at 60 years old. 

Carrie Fisher - at age 60, what does her birth chart reveal?

She is a strong yin metal with lots of earth and metal in her own chart. Her favourable elements are mostly the output elements of wood, fire, water. In her natal birth chart, she does not have many output elements except only at hour pillar and year pillar.  At age 60, I focused the bazi microscope at 2 places:

1. Her hour pillar of yang wood over yang fire horse - 甲午. The hour pillar are her favourable elements, suggesting a good retirement life with adequate wealth and respected individual in her society. So favourable elements should be attacked or else …
2. Her year pillar of Yang Fire over Yang Metal Monkey. She is a born a Fire Monkey and in 2017, her year pillar is under clashed with “Tai Sui” (jupiter star). So basically only under clash and the good properties of the Fire 

Some clues on her chart ...

Imbalanced caused by too many Earth (thinking, image) and metal elements (unhelpful friends).

Her hour pillar 甲午 is priority for me to analyze this chart because: 

1) At 60 years old, the details on her hour pillar is current to her stage of life now. 

2) The 2 natal birth elements are key favourable elements and is so far keeping her chart precariously in a moderately "balanced" natal state, hence danger will arises when this pillar is under attacked.

1) Warning Sign 1 -  People with noblemen, a symbolic star in their natal chart are normally considered as luckier than others who do not have that in their natal chart. In her chase, her nobleman is Yin Metal Rooster, sitting in her palace of spouse. So many of her friends and her spouse are her “noblemen” who helps her in times of great need. However on the 24th Dec 2016, her natal chart nobleman got “combined” away by the dragon earthly branch on the 24 Dec 2016, weakening her luck. So the chances of meeting a medical doctor on flight or anyone who can help her is low on this day. 
2) Warning Sign 2 - For Carrie, Fire element is her favourable element, Fire represents the eyes, heart and blood. The day she had boarded in London is a very cold day, highest 9 degrees and lowest 4 degrees. On the 24th Dec 2016, there is a also a Monkey-Rat-Dragon string of water formation. Water energy on that day is probably double or triple hence the weather is unfavourable for her, her body becomes sensitive to the changes in temperature and the general winter conditions also not helping. If you have taken a flight before, you will know how cabin temperatures can change rapidly. Low temperature can triggered sudden cardiac arrest events.
 
3) Warning Sign 3 - This is also one of the most important. Carrier Fisher’s most favourable element in the hour pillar has been under “attacked” by the Yang Metal over Yang Water Rat month. This type of clash has a technical term of 天冲地克 (Tian Chong Di Ke), usually these sort of clashes in Chart will mean obstacles and challenges for that period of time. Hence this cardiac arrest event for Carrie is a major life obstacle. 

Can we predict on what kind of obstacles a person will face? 

Usually the aspect where the person is weakest will the obstacle hit squarely at. E.g. Carrie Fisher is internationally famous, very well-off. No problem with money and recognition, but her health is not good due to years of stress and addiction to drugs. 

Therefore on days like this, her health is mostly likely the weakest link of her life which is “worthy” of becoming a major life challenge for her. She was in a coma for days with optimistic prognosis but God has other plans and had taken Princess Leia away. 

Carrier Fisher 1956 - 2016

"So, it’s with our deepest regret to report that Carrie Fisher died on Tuesday. The beloved Star Wars actress and writer drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra. She was 60."

The lady has style. 

I love you forever, Princess Leia. 

After-thought:

Chinese people can have some strange ideas and they console themselves a lot. Many of them has long believed that sometimes losing small money is ok, they call it 花钱消灾 (spending money to neutralise troubles). 

Our old masters in Chinese Metaphysics had observed that on days when elements clashed against each other severely; it can manifest in matters as small as disruption or loss of possessions e.g. traffic fine, sudden missing of flights, losing your wallet or handphone etc. It can also manifest as an accident, sudden injury or illness.  

One of the antidotes by the clever old masters were to artificially make provisions by deliberately “parting” with something e.g. donating money to charity, giving something way which is of material value or even arranged for an elective surgery in that particular clashing month. Such antidotes are still “dispensed” by current masters to their clients.

The Leap Month for 2017 

What is a Leap Day or Month? 

The Gregorian Calendar added 1 day every 4 years while the Chinese Lunar calendar will have 1 extra month every 3 years.

A leap month is inserted if there are 13 moons from the start of the 11th month in the first year to the start of the 11th month in the next year.

The Chinese calendar uses a solar term system that has 12 principal terms to indicate when the Sun's longitudes is a multiple of 30 degrees. Unlike all other months, the leap month does not contain a principal term (Zhong qi).

Interesting rumors for the Leap Day or Month

1) Farmers think planting Leaks during Leap Month brings bad luck.

2) All crops grown or harvested during Leap Month will be poisonous.

3) Gentlemen cannot refuse a lady’s request to marry if she had pop the question during the Leap month or Leap day. 

4) Its extreme unlucky to get married on a Leap day or Leap Month. 

5) It is extremely lucky to get married on a Leap day, Leap Month. 

6) Babies born on a Leap day or during a Leap month will have special psychic abilities e.g. walking on water, X-Ray vision or can breath under water like fish 

7) Chinese need to work one month for free in a Leap year as employers payout wages monthly.

From the desk of a Chinese Metaphysician:

The Leap day and month are cyclical events which had been done for thousand of years, while there were instances when seriously bizarre events happened in a Leap Year, the incidence is not statistically significant compared to other months when similar seriously bizarre events had also occured. 

However certain humans are known to be extra-sensitive in certain abilities which caused unexplainable outbursts of emotions. We see this for the “Super Moon Phenomenon” as well. Science cannot prove it but, also unable to disprove it totally. We still cannot explain why the reactions of certain humans are more enhanced than others during this period of time, many of them are not even aware of the Leap year or the Super Moon event happening in their current moment. 

Having said that, a Bazi analysis for their birth charts will be able to shed some clues as to why they are extra-sensitive.

1) Feng Shui started from a fire horse & a tortoise.

Fire Horse - 伏羲

One can find a chapter dedicated to a Fire Horse (aka Qi-Lin) & giant tortoise (not to be mistaken with Ninja turtle) in almost every Feng Shui old text.  The fire horse carried the Hetu 河图 and the tortoise transmitted the message of LuoShu 洛书

Some important old texts 

The story of Fire Horse involved 伏羲 (FuYi), the man who is attributed to have founded the civilisation of the Chinese people and invented Yin Yang & Ba Gua thousands of years ago. 

During 伏羲 time, a Fire Horse had also surfaced out of a river one day. Amazingly on the back of the Fire Horse, there was a tattoo ...

The story of Qi Lin (Fire horse)

4 sets of white dots and black dots were dispersed towards 4 cardinal directions and one additional set stayed put in the middle ground. We now understand that the different sets of white dots and blacks at each direction also symbolized a particular element, among other secrets of the Hetu.

Giant Tortoise - 大禹治水

In the olden times, China and its citizens had been always fighting with natural disasters. Floods being one of them and had a devastating effect on China, because agriculture was a key economic growth drive of the old society. 

According to the old text, a magical tortoise had emerged out of the raging waters and appeared to Da Yu who was standing on a river bank. And on its shell, ingrained the picture below.

The story of tortoise book

On this turtle shell, there are black and white spots which are dispersed in 4 cardinal, 4 inter-cardinal directions and one set in the middle. This is the important formula of today with almost 90% of current Feng Shui Masters are using the Luo Shu Knowledge to change the Feng Shui energy everywhere and anywhere. The Luo Shu knowledge famously gave rised to the Flying Stars magic 9 squares. 

Legend has it, Da Yu made used of the information on the tortoise shell, successfully controlled, managed the flood waters and becoming the greatest ruler in his time. Till this day, many temples near river, lakes and seas still worshiped Da Yu for his ability to manage floods. 

Kachina2012

What is the magic 9 square?

Try this: 

You can add up each lane of 3 numbers, horizontally, vertically or diagonally. No matter how, it will add up to be 15. Amazing much? 

Ok now try this: 

If you add up the numbers diagonally at the corners (the inter-cardinal directions), it will add up to exactly 10!

***Are you impressed?***

I mean who in the past, had thought of arranging the numbers this way right?? 

Through the important concept of this magic 9 square, the Feng Shui Masters had learnt to equalize and harmoize the energies of a physic space. 

This is THE magic 9 square which 99.99999% Feng Shui Master will continue to utilize throughout their career. It is said this magic 9 square (Luo shu) holds the answers to all secrets of the universe, creation and destruction. Though the exact mechanism is controversial and there are a few variations of its interpretation in the world of Feng Shui. 

Both Hetu and Luo Shu are the foundation of Feng Shui. 

If Feng Shui functions as a computer, then Hetu will be the hardware and LuoShu will be the software … when it comes to processing the Feng Shui quality of a certain space. 

河图 (Hetu) 为体，洛书 (Luoshu)为用。 

2) Feng Shui is a combination of the words “Wind” & “Water” yet there is no element of wind in Feng Shui 

Yep. Truly speaking, there are only 5 elements which we universally recognized as the building blocks of this Universe (though some say, our existence is just an illusion). Namely the Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. 

Wind is not part of it.

Everyone’s bazi is also based on analysing the 5 elements. Wind has not been a part of it. 

How does Wind comes into play though? Well in the Yi-Ching and Ba Gua, the wind is represented by the 巽卦. It also carries the meaning of the number 4, eldest daughter and the South East direction. On its own, is not a element per se but the representation of the wood element. 

But wind is an important indicator which it comes to picking a burial site especially. As a rule of the thumb, "Feng Shui energetic site" is the piece of land converging at the bottom of a mountain and at the beginning of a river or lake. 

3) Feng Shui is now more readily accepted in the Western countries as “useful” vs its oriental counterpart (where Feng Shui was invented and originated from)

This is self-explanatory and is a fact. In the past 20 to 30 years, the contributions of our grand masters in Feng Shui must be credited. This is a wholly good thing, because contemporary schools of Feng Shui had always included the mission of spreading authentic Feng Shui to the world in its manifesto. 

 4) Feng Shui is very precise with directions, potential error is within a razor thin of 0.5 degrees. 

In short, a typical Feng Shui house audit will divide our living space into “24 mountains” which is a common technical term in Feng Shui and you can find this ring of “24 mountains” on every Feng Shui Compass (aka Luo pan). 

If your Luopan has only 23 or 25 rings for this ring, sorry  but your luo pan is probably as useful as a lemon.        

By dividing our living space into “24 mountains” will allow us to know the exact direction say, the facing of your main door or the sitting of the back of your house. Each mountain is 15 degrees. But because of the placement of the various mountains on the ring (eg the 癸 mountain does not start at 0 degrees and stop at 15 degrees), there is always a 0.5 degrees difference between one mountain to the next. So Feng Shui is actually very precise …. down to half a degree.. 

Some information on the 24 mountains are depicted below.

5) The ancient founders of Feng Shui will not be able to audit a modern apartment today without advising you to move out of the buildings

If the ancient founders of Feng Shui were to come alive now, walking around looking at our houses today. Most probably they would not be very happy, shaking their heads, concluding that high rise buildings are 独阳 or too much exposure to wind, energy cannot gather etc. 

This is reasonable, as high-rise buildings of more than 20 floors high are relatively new inventions. So it is fair to say that our current living conditions were not the norm for the great ancestors of Feng Shui to audit upon. 

Also modern apartments today have higher chances of odd shapes. To enjoy a house with good feng shui, first of all, the shape of the house must be regular and squarish. Otherwise you must pray that the Feng Shui Master has enough skills to analyse the odd shape houses, recommend suitable remedies or have excellent communication skills to persuade the owners for slightly more extensive home improvement renovations. 

How come Feng Shui is still relevant today? 

Fortunately, the foundation of Feng Shui had been very strong and Feng Shui has evolved to keep up with human population of today.  

For "difficult" buildings or sites, many Feng Shui masters are able to use technology to efficiently scan a space for directions and map out energy distribution plans. 

The spread of Feng Shui information is also very advanced today and there are many Feng Shui forums where people get together and discuss modern case studies. 

After thoughts

Many different linages of Feng Shui had appeared overtime, sometimes with opposing views. But the point of contentation are generally along the lines of whose knowledge is the most superior and sometimes people fight about what is authentic (right) or what is not (wrong). 

Some Feng Shui masters follow the old text to the letter. 

Some Feng Shui Masters seem to "invent" things of their own. 

Until we can find a unifying figure in our Feng Shui world, one who is truly free of ego and financial worries, truly dedicated at consolidating the Feng Shui experience of different Feng Shui Masters in different regions of the world, all we can really do is to continue to learn Feng Shui from masters, grand masters and also test it out for yourself and see what works for you (and your clients). 

Feng Shui is a progression subject and so we must allow room for acadamic differences for only time will tell what is right. 

Feng Shui as a whole is most definitely expanding today and more people are now more or less willing to consider Feng Shui as a “Maybe” instead of a flat out “No”. 

I think this is something we must applaud our Grand Masters of Feng Shui for whom has dedicated themselves to spread Feng Shui everywhere in the world for the last 20 to 30 years. 

The Singapore darling - Joseph Schooling's Bazi review

The Singapore darling - Joseph Schooling's Bazi review

Joseph Schooling is a third generation Singaporean, an Eurasian boy, born in Singapore to a Eurasian Father (Colin) and Chinese Mother (May... 8/13/2016

Joseph Schooling is a third generation Singaporean, an Eurasian boy, born in Singapore to a Eurasian Father (Colin) and Chinese Mother (May). He is the only son in the family. In his chart, there are no siblings stars as well (比劫星)。This will also mean the natural environment for Joseph is a good one, in the sense that he does not need to compete for resources or attention with other siblings (competitors in bazi). 

His father would had been 51 (not sure if he was previously married)  when Joseph was born in 16 June 1995! And yes, Joseph is a true blue Singaporean. His father is a Singaporean Eurasian and he speaks a little of the rusty Teochew dialect. 

Some Chinese people believe that 老来得子 is always a tremendous blessing from the heavens.

Some people also think that a son born to a father in his advanced age has a special purpose in life. 

This is Schooling's chart (Special mention to Mr Ken Koh, his bazi calculator is the best one i had use so far. He is my Michael Phelps and I thank him for his brains to develop this beautiful calculator. Please visit his site more: http://kenkoh.sg:8080/bazi-online/)

First glance, really nothing special ... but .... 

This chart is a classical example - if you choose the right occupation and right goals according to the innate potential of birthday, you will not go very wrong in life and can achieve many great feats. 

Majority of favourable elements in chart

He is a strong Yang Earth man, born in the summer. His favourable elements would be metal (action), water (money) and wood (power, status, discipline). 

Yang Earth people has a special feature, the speed of learning is slower than others. Their thoughts come slower as well. However once they master it, their skills will be cast in stone, so you will see them progress rapidly, very capable of replicating the same perfect move, over and over again flawlessly. 

Schooling chose the right sport, or some will say, the swimming sport had chosen him

To be successful, one must find their own natural platform where they can perform better than at least 75% of population ... almost effortlessly in others perception. Joseph is crowned the "butterfly king", leaping in and out of water so powerfully. For the life of me, I cannot even execute a half-baked butterfly stroke, like many of us mere mortals.

So you can see, he had chosen a compatible sport to his chart i.e. swimming as water is his favorable element and he focused on the butterfly event, something he can do very well because he had meticulously "perfected" it.  

On the other hand from the chart, he will probably do well with metal related sport e.g. racket sports like badminton, tennis or golf etc. 八字身旺， 食伤泄秀. But it is not his main interest as metal element is not prevalent, chart wise. He will probably also do well in bowling as well as it is related to wood element (the woods lanes in a straight rectangle arrow towards the pins). 

The right element to bring him wealth and ladies (the common aspiration for men is to be rich and desirable to opposite sex) 

But since water element also represents money element to him, from his bazi we can easily see how swimming can bring him wealth and ladies on the tow (muscular body). 

Chart’s favourable elements has no sabotage - 喜神没有被破

From age 0 - 50, his chart is quite beautiful in the sense that there is no sabotaging pillars next to each other. No clashing and no combining away good and useful attributes. 

When energy can flow in a chart without sabotaging pillars, this person has a high chance, e.g. 75% more likely to get the essential environment, tools and helpful people to help him, in whatever he wants to achieve. It is a bit like a electric circuit board. The chart owner is the bulb while the board is his environment -when there are no breakages or lesser resistance in between the wires, the bulb (chart owner) can light up relatively easier, almost effortlessly and continue to light up for a longer time. 

In those charts where people seemed to keep failing to accomplish something in their life, normally their chart will look like a messy electricity circuit board, where the bulbs lit up at the wrong time or useful electricity (life force, 命元) channelled to the wrong place. Hence more often than not, these people are always not ready when its time to get their rewards or seize an opportunity. 

Sometimes for some people, the bulb never light up at all much in their lifetime - denoting they struggle a lot and difficult to achieve their goals. However the good news is, even for the most average charts, the bulb do light up, but intermittently and unable to last long enough for people to discover their talent. 

Discipline brings him recognition and keeps him in focus

In Schooling’s chart - Discipline is represented by the wood element while money is represented by the water element. In his chart, money elements goes to support the discipline element very well.  

It means a few things, he is naturally disciplined and respects authority. He obeys what the coaches want most of the time, even if he has doubt. His routine is rewarding for him. From the first pillar onwards, money element (water) - which also represents his father, is constantly in his chart and supporting his training life. His father is very supportive and that makes a big big difference. 

As most of us will acknowledge, 90% of Singaporean parents will not be forthcoming in supporting their children in anything other than academic studies, because it is risky to groom your only child in uncharted waters i.e. Sports where Singapore, a small nation took a total 51 years to produce a gold medal. 

Mr Colin Schooling? He went all the way and will have less doubts than other parents. The father and son are united in their collective goals to swim all the way into the greatest sporting event since umpteen years ago. That level of commitment for anything other than studies is super rare, for Singapore anyway. 

Think about it, it is not unknown for sportsmen with great potential to enter the national team, only to buckled under the stress of intense training hours, grilling from coaches in national teams. However for Schooling is different, he can withstand it and manage the stress better than most potential champs. 

Because routine works for him. Water (father, money, environment e.g. swimming pool near his house) reinforced and support wood (discipline). The mechanisms of his chat had made pursuing the sport favourable for him. Encouragingly so, though he is born in summer. 

Missing element in his chart - metal (action) is showing up in his luck pillar now! 

My esteemed Singaporean teacher Master Chew (in my heart, he is the grand master of Bazi) had noted and taught us that most of the time, the missing element is also the favourable element for the day master (the chart owner). So for Schooling, he is able to articulate what works for him and what do not.  This will in turn makes it easier for people to help and guide him. 

For some weird reason, Schooling does not seem to have many helpful friends of his age, hence fitting in can be a pain in the neck for him. Well of course now it is different, everyone wants to be his friend. Even the girl in tinder. 

The presence of action element (which is missing or weak in his chart) showing up in luck pillar is like adding a new battery to the entire circuitry. Hence you can imagine how brightly the bulb can be shining now. 

His nobleman is tattooed on his back - The Ox. 

Nobleman is additional blessings from heavens. It can be anyone born in the year of the zodiac animal or in other related forms (one has to be aware to see where their noblemen are hiding in their lives).  

All of us are assigned 2 to 4 nobleman's according to the year and day which we were born in. For schooling, Ox and Goat are his day nobleman. I am not sure if he had his bazi examined, but no matter what, tattooing it on his back and the fact that he is studying in the cowboy state of Texas shows - 在天成形，在地成局 (energy forming outline in the heaven, will take its shape on earth). 

It means without a doubt that there is a prominent nobleman is in his life now (among other noblemen) and that man is rightly Michael Phelps. I strongly concurred that Phelps is the real motivating factor in his life. It is like running a marathon and you need a pace keeper, running in front of you to ensure the race is on track? That person for Schooling is Michael Phelps. 

Well since my nobleman is also the Ox, I am seriously considering tattooing it now. When i did, I will take a picture of paste it in this blog. 

Anyway Schooling is now a legend and did the entire Singapore very proud! I have the good fortune to see our little red dot won an Olympic GOLD medal in my lifetime! Woohoo! 

In a strange way, I wish the late Lee Kuan Yew could have seen this historical moment too, an additional feather to his cap for forging the iron in Singapore and this particular Singaporean - Joseph fantastic Schooling. 

Hopefully the coverage for his win will serve as an inspiration for all the younger people in Singapore … and also dominate the headlines on media - so that i will see less of the Pokemon craze being jostling for space in the news for the next few days.

eh ... anyone has a good tattoo place to recommend? Also it will greatly encourage me if you can ....

Dengue Fever & Natural Therapies - A Bazi deduction.

Dengue Fever & Natural Therapies - A Bazi deduction.

2016 is a year of many diseases, as agreed by many Feng Shui masters and as forewarned point 5 of in my blogpost here.  This predictio... 7/31/2016

2016 is a year of many diseases, as agreed by many Feng Shui masters and as forewarned point 5 of in my blogpost here. 

This prediction is based on the time & space theory of Xuan Kong Flying stars school. After the 立春 every year, 9 types of energies will get reshuffled and distributed to 8 directions + 1 centre position (let’s call it the King position) of the planet earth (Feng Shui is invented by the Chinese Scholars based on their very long time observation of nature on Earth), not sure if this theory can apply in Venus or Mars. 

In 2016, the untimely and unlucky 2 black sickness star had “flown” into the centre. 

Sickness star in the “King” palace will usually bring about virulent and infectious diseases. So when sickness star became “King” as it dominates and affects just about everyone. Fortunately, this year so far, the fast-spreading diseases via droplets transmission e.g. SARS and Avian Flu had not reared its ugly head. 

However since the beginning of 立春, we seemed to notice more key words e.g. Zika virus, dengue fever and strokes. All have something to do with transmission in blood, blood clots, blood from mother to child etc. In Singapore, incidentally as of today, already 2 key members of our Singapore Cabinet ministers (both past & present) had been inflicted by stroke. 

One of them is dramatic, as you can read here and also my previous blogpost on Minister Heng Swee Kiat. While this morning, our much-loved former President Nathan of Singapore (1999-2011) had a stroke while he is at home and now being treated in SGH intensive care unit. More people had been talking about stroke than politics in 2016 so far!  

We will be talking about Dengue today & some interesting natural remedies. 

I know it so well as it had occurred in my own backyard. 

My parents are quite healthy for their age but their residence happened to be in a dengue cluster zone. So 2 months ago, my mother got “kissed” by the damn mozzie, diagnosed to be positive for dengue fever and was hospitalised for a week due to dangerously low platelets count. She has since recovered.

Then just last Friday, my father was also “chosen” by the affection of damn mozzie and he also kena dengue fever! 

Super long wait but great medical staff! 

So now, not only I know a thing or two with dengue fever, I also know the Singapore General Hospital very well, having visited their ER twice in 3 months now. 

In my battle with dengue, I had bought 3 UV light mozzie repellant, bottles of DEET and anti-mozzie stickers. I even bought a overnight lounge chair with perfect dimensions just for the occasion; to lie down upon, in solidarity with next to the mother who was not allowed to get out of bed in the hospital for a week! 

Dengue fever has no cure and no vaccines till date. As such, the recovery from this annoying disease is largely based on the integrity of the patient’s own immunity system, lots of rehydration, bottles of IV drips, paracetamol and around the clock nonsensical chatter, to keep the spirits of the patient up.

Precisely because convention medicine has been rather useless, many of my relatives started to come to us with various alternative remedies. Here are some of my favorites:

1. Frog legs with bitter gourd soup - the more bitter the more potent
2. Guava with red flesh (have you even seen guava with pink flesh?) 
3. Bitter gourd juice (what’s the bitter gourd? i do wonder)
4. Papaya leaves juice (my first thought being, surely the all papaya trees are bald by now)

I watch with wonderment as my mother tried out all the various remedies, courtesy of her very caring siblings, my aunties. However despite that, my mother platelets dropped steadily by 1/3 almost everyday till the last 2 days when she recovered enough to be discharged! 

The normal range for platelets was 150K and above. At her lowest, her platelet count was merely 11k. :( 

Damn mozzie. So tiny yet so annoying.

For some strange reason, the only thing i did not get my mother to try out was Papaya leaves juice, because I do not know where are the trees being planted in Singapore and also worried about the P450 cytochrome drug interactions. The rest of stuff were ok, i was not worried because its all normal food that are ingested by humans every day. 

Cutting the long story short, when my lovely father was diagnosed I had decided to try out Papaya leaves because it was the most common remedy which was consistently mentioned by everyone. 

This time immediately on diagnosis day, I found the paw paw papaya leaves capsules online and read up on its potency in protecting platelet levels, post-chemotherapy. Ok the science sounded legitimate and no harm trying. 

I bought 2 bottles from vitakidz in Paragon. It is the only pharmacy in Singapore who is savvy enough to bring this in. 

I coaxed my old man to take it every day. 

Next thing you know … yes you guess it. That paw paw papaya leaves works! I am so amazed by how fast, easy and good this natural therapy was! Thanks to Universe, my father did not need to be hospitalised and platelets level hovered above the 100K range the whole time! Recovered in a week and he was happily talking about having beef steaks for dinner this morning! 

Curious curious me, so i decided to do a metaphysical analysis of the Papaya leaves:

Sharp, pointy and looks like triangles - Fire element. Papaya is a plant, green colour - Wood element. Wood gives birth to Fire. Fire relates to blood, heart and eyes. 

Platelet count in blood important in tracking dengue fever process. From a metaphysical point of view, papaya leaves can give a boost for healthy blood then. Therefore it does seem metaphysical sense that this is a right natural remedy for dengue fever. 

Of course there are other pointy leaves, but papaya leaves is the most commonly suggested alternative medicine for dengue hence no point analysing all the leaves under the sky. 

Whatever the case, I guess i will be keeping a bottle handy in my fridge for now! For you all who stumbled upon this page, please consult the doctors before taking any natural remedies. In fact, I believe that taking only natural remedies for critical diseases is not a good treatment management strategy.

Saying this from my humble degree in Biomedical science, then I worked in swiss giant pharma company for many years and then i studied Feng Shui. So fairly speaking, I am on the both sides of medical science and natural therapies. 

Please take care if you are staying in dengue clusters in Singapore. Here is the latest update.
