GTF Vs Meningitis

As at 11th May 2009, the number of individuals admitted into hospital for suspected meningitis has been increased to 29 cases.

So, what is meningitis? And how does it affect human?

Short Introduction

First thing first, let's take a general overview at this disease.

Meningitis is an inflammation-like disease which normally inflicts the brain and spinal cord with hazardous consequence.

The cause of this disease is usually due to the BIG THREE, the three categories which come in and out of our lives, namely viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms.

Mechanism

The route of the pathogens to invade the human body is either through direct contact, or bloodstream. But either way, the pathogens will next does further harm to the central nervous system (a system which coordinates the activity of all parts of the bodies of multi cellular organisms). When the infliction reaches a threshold level, immune system will respond right away by instructing the immune cells to release cytokines to counteract upon the pathogens, and thus inflammation happens. (A little reminder here though, inflammation in this case is unlikely happen due to direct bacterial infection, but rather the response of central immune system itself)

When such inflammation unfortunately occurs, this situation can be life-threatening as it affects the brain and spinal cord.

The Symptoms?

To simply put, these are the signs of meningitis.

Severe headache is tipped to be the most obvious symptoms of meningitis. In usual cases, when people who suspect to be infected with meningitis, and having severe headache at the same time, doctors would normally advise the patients to turn his or her head either horizontally or vertically. If the aching sensation is not worsened, then the chances of getting infected with this hazardous disease is pleasantly slim.

Treatments?

Well, for this part, these days, only medicinal treatments are usually considered as the only way to treat it. Among the methods used are antibiotics and anti-fungal medications.

But as we all know, pumping in too much medicines into our precious tummy is definitely a no-no as the pills and bitter liquids will harm other organs of ours (kidney, for example) in the end of the day.

In the year of 2006, GT&F Milk Powder, surprisingly became famous with a super discovery, a name with a catchy rhythm, "Super Discovery 6-in-1"! One of the discoveries is about regulating the amount of interleukin-6 in our body. Interleukin-6, by coincidence, can be considered as the main causal agent in causing the inflammation as far as meningitis is concerned since interleukin-6 itself is a cytokine and scientifically proven that it is also one of the pro-inflammatory factors.

Rejuvenate Under the Scorching Sun

These days, no matter what you do, regardless whether you are slacking at home, sitting still on the sofa while watching the tube, or possibly you are an individual who works or toils, you would have probably notice that the sweat just wouldn't stop flowing by keeps on making its presence felt.

Due to many factors, including the lack of environmental awareness, human began to pollute the environment unconsciously since many decades ago. Consequently, the aftermath of global warming becomes even more serious before we actually came to realize it.

Currently, daily temperature ranges within 30°C to 35°C averagely. And this red hot phenomenon is said to last until September this year.

Therefore, it could be a few uncomfortable months ahead for us. So, how do we beat the heat?

Over exposure to the sun would make your skin looked dull, as a result, you would get pigmentation and wrinkles. In addition, the UV rays from the sun could also penetrate your skin and furthermore, causing your collagen to breakdown and damaging the skin's elasticity.

Glucose Tolerance Factor (GTF) plays a role which works like miracles. It works as a booster for your body cells by enriching them with countless energy. On the other hand, metabolism in the body can also be improved drastically. With such great benefits from GTF, our whole body system, basically is finely tuned and regulated.

After telling the audiences about how our product could positively affect human body, Mr. Ang also brought out the current and hottest topic in town --> H1N1 Virus.

No doubt, this virus had inflicted in quite a number of countries, and the inclination shows that the number of countries which may get affected by it would probably increase in the near future, since there is yet vaccination discovered by the scientists.

But as the saying goes, prevention is definitely better than cure. Mr. Ang stressed on the effectiveness of our products in preventing, and very possibly, vanishing the virus. This evidence is proven by Taiwan's Associate Chief Science Officer, Wen-Ying Chen, Ph.D
.
