Autohemotherapy?

Have anyone heard before autohemotherapy? Literally it means "use pateint's own blood to treat that patient". Sounds weird right? So do I. During the pratical in hospital when I was helping the nurse, I saw the nurse withdraw about 10ml of blood from the patient's vein on the arm. That time I though the blood is going to be sent for analysis. But shockingly, later the nurse use that blood to inject it on the patient's buttock. I was like, what the heck is this (@_@)?!?!? Later I asked the nurse, she gave me a bombastic term: "autohemotherapy".

A proper definition from answer.com:
Treatment of disease with the patient's own blood, withdrawn by venipuncture and then injected intramuscularly.

On first glance I was quite confused, how can we treat someone by withdraw something from the patient and use it as medication to inject it back to the patient? So later I do some searching on the net and found some informations.

There are physicians said that reintroduction of the blood strengthens a person's immunity, because the body must mount a fresh immune response to the disease-causing substances. Consequently, the technique is often performed to treat chronic immune deficiency, allergies, gout, liver disease, diabetes and rheumatic ailments. The procedure may also boost a person's vitality. Reinjection of blood resets the immune system, causing the disease fighting cells to wake up and other harmful substances that can trigger infections, allergies, rheumatic ailments or other disorders.

The reported beneficial action of autohemotherapy has been attributed to the presence of antigens in the blood which stimulate the production of antibodies when injected into the tissues.

This treatment is kind of cool, and is of low cost ^^. But not all the countries like US accept this method. Just like physiotherapy, mustard plaster and cupping are not widely used in Malaysia.

Memory

Note: I remember there is a soundtrack in Winter Sonata, named " My Memory".

There is annual sport game held by my university for three days, and today morning is the opening ceremony. Not going to tell much about the details. Just want to mention some of the things. The first is, disappointment. Felt very disappointed with the leaders of our government. During the open ceremony, a special VIP guest from Malaysia, Dato Seri something something (can't remember the name). His english not so well, and somemore he change to use malay language later. And the worst part is, like the usual "VIP" in Malaysia, he made his speech so long and so meaningless, keep repeating some unnecessary points, trying to make his speech "panjang-lebar", and the most important is, nobody want to listen also. Even the chancellor of our university, Dr. Petrov made his speech short and sweet, why can't the leaders in Malaysia make their speech short and meaningful? Why are they trying so much to make their speech lengthy like the Pharisees who make lengthy prayers in front of the public (Matthew 23:14)? Are they trying to gain praise and glory from people? I don't know. Anyway that's not the most important thing.

Secondly is, memory. When I saw the students doing performances, especially the martial art, it really brings back memory. Once I also joined martial art and had been learning it for like five years. During that five years, really faced a lot of trainings and disciplines, during that time training is really not pleasant or should I say, is very torturing. But after the training what I learnt and gained is peace, joy (Hebrew 12:11). During that time, together with my friends and partners, we joined numerous competitions, tornaments, examiations, and performances. I still remember how hard we training it. Usually we trained for hours and days just for that five minutes performance, 养军千日，用军一时. It was really joyful and memorable. And throughout days and years, the friendship among us built up and they are like my another family.

But after I finished my SPM and came to this place to study, I know it is time for me to put down my life for martial art, cause as a student in university, I really cannot afford to put time and energy for training. And on the first place, I decided to join martial art just for the co-curriculum activity, just want to make sure I can write something for the column "Pasukan Beruniform" in the testimonial. But praise to God, cause even the intention was not good in the first place, he can change it into something good (Genesis 50:20). When I saw they were doing their rehearsal, I feel kind of regret, why I didn't join any performance especially the martial art, but when I think further into it, I realised that I can't afford to do so. To perform a perfect performance, it really require time, and most of the people in our university don't even know the basis of martial art, ie, they must start from zero, from the bottom line. To train a person from zero cannot be done in just 2 months time, and it might just bring disgrace to my instructors and seniors. If want to commit into this performance I must really sacrifice my time for study, but I can't afford to do so. After I came here, I decided to just commit my life in Christ and in my future occupation, nothing more I guess. Some people might ask, what about your life partner? I can say it is still a long way to go.

回忆是美好的，但回忆却是个叫我回去的诱饵。人应放下回忆，张向未来，因为新天新地即将到来。

Anyway, after thinking for a long time, I came to a conclusion. Memory is a good thing, it is wonderful, but memory is memory, it can never hinder the future. After all, memory is just a bait that drawing me back to the pass. I should put down this memory, bury it in the bottom of my heart, because I should look into the future, for a new heaven and a new earth are coming soon (Revelation 21:1). Amen.

First Post

This will be my first post. After reading so many blogs of my friends, and instead of waiting them to put up their new posts, I decide to write my own blog, or should I said, 我的心声.

A short intro for myself, who am I? You can address me as 俊申[junshen](my real name) or 俊生(another variant, why? Will tell you next time), doing medic in a place far from my hometown, once I am lost but now am found by God.

What can u expect from here? Updates about myself? The recent events happened in my life? Not quite so, cause I will write more about my view point of view of life, my feeling, my experience through the life in this strange place, and most important is my life in Christ. Just don't expect too much from here, cause I will only post something "once in a blue moon".

Want to end with a verse used by my church's blog:
Come and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what he has done for me. (Psalms 66:16). Amen
