Japan Burns In Hell!

Summer is hot.

Summer in Asia is hot!



Japan is experiencing the hottest summer on record, since the governments started recording meteorological data after WWII in 1946. Every day people in the office complain about how hot it is. When they come back from lunch, everyone talks about how hot it is. I think my elevator is probably over 40C every day. My back is soaked with sweat by the time I get to the office. If I sit on the toilet for more than 2minutes, because there is no air circulation there (i.e. no breeze), I get drenched in sweat (and that is keeping the door open!). Etc. Etc. etc. Actually Fukui was hotter, and the daily temps prove it, compared to Tokyo, so for me, it's not too bad here (except I have to wear these damn work clothes!)



Many MANY people have been taken to the hospital around the country due to heat stroke this year. It is big news.



One of the problems is that traditionally (it has changed in recent years), young people were trained that to be "tough" and get "stronger" you need to learn to overcome your "desires" and "needs" some times. This works for many things, but not when it comes to ignoring the body's need for water and salts. Maybe that is how the samurai made themselves "tough" in the past, but we aren't samurai anymore, and we don't need that kind of "tough". It's just silly. That mentality still sticks with a lot of older people. As an aside, I recall when I studied kendo here 20 years ago, that no matter how hot it was, no matter how thirsty we were, we were not by any means allowed to drink water during the practice. We could drink before, and after, but not during. I ignored that once as I thought I was going to pass out from thirst and loss of water...and boy did they lay into me! Apparently that mentality is no longer in the current dojos, which is a good thing.



Another problem of course, lies in the fact that as we age, our bodies no longer are as good at controlling their core temperatures than when we were younger. This is a big reason why many elderly people succumb to heat exhaustion.



A third reason, I think, may be that air conditioning is viewed differently hear in Japan than it is in North America. Where I grew up we used AC when it got hot. Period. Here they try not to use it as much as possible. The problem is that during the evening and night, most people close their drapes and windows. And that is when the heat builds up in the home. Also, people do not sleep with fans blowing on them because (tradition? old truth whose reason we have forgotten?) they SAY that air blowing over your body when you sleep is bad for you. (A lot of wives tales began in original truths, so who knows? To me it sounds crazy, but to Japanese it is a common belief - just like to North Americans eggs must be kept refrigerated is a common belief, but to Japanese, it is not necessary - and considering all of the salmonella outbreaks in eggs and the egg recalls going on in the USA these days, it's no wonder N.A. think this way: the food chain there is filthy!)



Anyway...



Here is an article from Japan Today giving you the latest update on the statistics of people suffering heat stroke in Japan:



Have a great day, and keep your fluids, and your mineral levels up!



I love you!

P.S. On the political front, this new battle for the DPJ Leadership Race is a travesty. Japan has a very very poor (weak) political system. Besides, if Ozawa actually wins, we are in big trouble.....

Nearly 47,000 hospitalized due to heatstroke since late May

Wednesday 01st September, 08:00 AM JST



TOKYO —

Nearly 47,000 people were taken by ambulance to hospitals across Japan in about three months since late May, including more than 5,000 last week alone, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said Tuesday.



A total of 46,728 people were rushed to medical institutions from May 31 to Aug 29, with 5,358 of them transported in the seven-day period through last Sunday, the agency said in a preliminary report. Of the total, 158 people died shortly after arrival at hospitals in 42 prefectures, the agency said.



The agency urged people to continue to take care to avoid heat stroke by consuming water and salt frequently, particularly as there may be increased outdoor events and activities with the start of a new school term.



According to the agency’s report, those diagnosed with mild symptoms upon arrival made up the largest proportion of patients at 57.7%, followed by 35.3% with moderate symptoms and 3.5% with severe symptoms.



By age bracket, 46.6% of the patients were 65 or over, while by prefecture, the figure exceeded 3,000 in Tokyo and Aichi, Osaka and Saitama prefectures.

Catch The Wave

As I suspected, high-tech cycling socks are AWESOME for working out at the gym, too!

Some of you may recall my "What is Globalized Love?" video I made a few years back. I was sitting on a red camp chair in my back yard with my cycling shoes... when all of a sudden the sole just fell off one of them! Those were NorthWave mountainbiking shoes and I got them in Italy back in 2001. And they were AWESOME shoes. I rode the shitoutof them.

So when I saw these NorthWave red socks in the bike shop on the weekend I had to give them a try. And do they feel good! Faaaar better than ordinary cheap socks, and in so many ways.

If you've never tried cycling or running socks it might be hard to understand, but ust as exercise-specific technical clothing fits, fee. and performs better than streetwear for sports, these socks rock! They breathe. They wick. They don't let the feet heat up in the closed environment of the shoes... they just feel good! So for JPY 1600 I am glad I got them!

Now I can hardly wait to try the JPY 2600 socks I also got! They have a two year warranty on them!

How's that for rocking your socks off, eh?

I love you!

Cam

P.S. Currently JPY 100 is about USD 1.15.

I got on the bike tonight and went out along the river for a night run. It felt soooo good to cycle in the dark and use my atrophying night vision (it's never dark in Tokyo!).

After this week's presentation preparation blitz, today was a bit slow. Busy days are always better than slow days at work because you are challenged, and productive, working to a timeline. Rather than sit around looking for work, I decided to use some of my flex time and come home two hours early. It's nice to get naked, do the laundry, vacuum, clean and basically get all the chores done on a Friday late afternoon while the sun is still out so that the rest of the weekend can be filled up with other enjoyable things!

I gave a stellar, captivating, enjoyoble, humourous and critically important info-packed presentation to the global client today. In my mind anyway...but that is where success is made or broken. It all begins in the mind. As The Universe says, "Thoughts become things. Choose the good ones." And He is so right. What you visualize with all your might, be it good or bad, you get. As Henry Ford said, "Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right!" So what is going on in your life right now where you could change your thinking from "can't" to "can"? Do it! Right now. Yes, you can! I love you!

Photos To Previous McBlog

Its too bad I couldnt get these to post in the blog when I accessed it directly throug the keitai web browser. Oh well...

Photos of restaurant I ate at instead of the usual McMondays joint.

If you haven't seen that post ... to sum up... I won't be eating Double Quarter Pounders w/Cheese every Monday for lunch anymore. And I'll only be paying Half of what I'd pay at McDs! But then I'll still go to McDs after a leisurely lunch in a cool, great environment to get good, inexpensive ice (or hot) coffee.

I love you!

No McMore McMonday McDs! McSort of

On the way up the infinite flights of stairs to get out of my station here in Shinjuku I decided to look at the plastic foods on display on two floors on the way up. To my pleasant surprise the lunches all looked edible (with rice) to me and the price is unbeatable.

I have now found a new place to have a full meal with hot tea, Japanese pickles, cabbage, miso soup, (unlimited rice refills) pork cutlets that are VERY crispy in a fantastic environment.

And the price? HALF the price of McDonalds!!! Now I dont have to eat at McDs anymore on Mondays! Yaaaay!!

Here are a few photos of this great restaurant inside the Shinuku Labrynth.

I love you!

Cam

P.S. Lets see how long this lasts because the DQP w/C have more protein. And now I can zip to McDs and get a really cheap coffee for the trip. Rice? One or two bites only...

I had a good 30KM ride today out to the fishing guy's spot. I took along some food (two hardboiled eggs, a can of fish, some Japanese kyoho (concorde) grapes) and enjoyed sharing it with the fishing guys.

I've been following the WikiLeaks Escapade... They have posted 10s of thousands of confidential US Military documents related to the happenings in Iraq, on their site that "whistleblowers" have submitted. The US government is EXTREMELY upset by this and has demanded they stop immediately. But they refuse to be pressured by the USA. Suddenly, while in Sweden, the founder is now being charged with rape and the authorities are looking to arrest him. Interesting, don't you think? Hmmm... I smell a rat. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100821/ap_on_hi_te/eu_sweden_wikileaks

Heading out to buy some nuts at the "gyomu super" (by bicycle), then off to meet Mayu for meat tonight in Shinjuku!

Take Two Lemons & Call Me in the Morning

People hate Big Pharma.

That's a pretty strong statement but I'm sure there are a large number of people out there who would agree.

Sure, the pharmaceutical companies have given us some important drugs; however the good majority of drugs on the market are not particularly helpful to us, the end-user. In fact, a lot of side-effects and serious adverse event potential often outweighs the benefits of the new drugs, which apparently are not that much more, if at all, effective than something currently on the market.

It costs a pharmaceutical company over a billion dollars to get one drug all the way to "near acceptance" by the governmental body that controls drugs (FDA in USA, PMDA in Japan, SFDA in China, etc.) The majority of drugs are rejected, leading the makers to have huge losses that deeply affect their shareholder value. This causes added pressure to make up for the losses, so the spiral continues to spin downward and downward. They have to make up the loss so they do their best to market the drugs and make back as much money as they can. Often, to do this, they misrepresent the drugs by downplaying the side effects when the salesforce explains it to doctors. Then doctors who are too busy to do their own research take that info, believe it ("silly rabbi, kicks are for trids!"), and further misrepresent the drugs to us, making us believe that we can benefit from them. (The drugs used for the pappiloma virus these days is one such drug; it is touted as a cervical cancer preventio
n when that is absolutely NOT the case - research that on the net if you like).

"An analysis by Donald Light of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, [shows evidence] that about 85 percent of new drugs offer few if any new benefits, according to independent reviewers. Furthermore, the side effects or misuse of meds make prescription drugs a significant cause of death in the U.S."

Here is a refreshing report in Science Daily, that brought about this thought today:

Standing Room Only

Well... as this is the peak turn-around day for Obon holidays the trains are full. I couldn't get a reserved seat for on the way home so had to buy non-reserved... Even the first class trains are completely booked.

When I got to Kobuchizawa I asked the JR guy if he would kindly check the numbers and let me know how crowded the train will be when it gets here...

I was informed that the train is over 100% capacity and that I can expect to be standing the entire two hours back to Tokyo...

I guess I'll be dragging my sorry ass outta bed tomorrow morning and schlepping all this stuff to the office in the dog days of summer...

Time to zip into the handicapped toilet and change into my sauna suit --- I mean work clothes!

I love life and all the little surprises it brings (like chatting in the train with a couple traveling up here for a biking holiday carrying their folding bikes on the train).

Have a good one!

McFry Boy Strikes Again!

I stopped At the usual McDonald's for lunch and lots of fluids because it is hot in Shinjuku today. I got the set and one more strap (Megumi gave me her FryStrap to complete my set so I begged for fries today to give them back to her) and the french fries.

On the way up the stairs I saw three high school boys and offered them my fries but they all got that suspicious look and declined. Unfortunately that age starts to pick up the bad habits that many adults have, one of them being distrust of unknown people.

Their loss.

I sat down next to a (gorgeous) mother-daughter team and started chatting the mom up. Her daughter loves fries so I gave them to her daughter.

We sat and talked, laughed and shared stories about life and experiences for half an hour (being able to carry on a natural conversation goes a long way). Gorgeous Mom asked me about my life and time here, work etc. I talked about my divorce and best friend Mayu, we discussed carbohydrates and food and how Japanese faces are getting narrower and narrower so that many kids need braces to straighten teeth these days (daughter's example) and so on.

I spent another fantastic 30 minutes in McDonald's sharing the gift of happiness and creating memories for three people.

This morning I got my breakfast and lunch done. I did the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, folded laundry, ironed my shirts, did some work, wrote a few emails, surfed the blogs, got some suntanning in, took half of my dress pants to the cleaners, read the newspaper, had a second shower and headed off to work.

It is a perfectly ... nice day!

Have a great one, wherever you are!

I love you!

Off to Shibuya's Yamaya to replenish my stock of Lavazza coffee... and then to 109 to enjoy the "Gyaru" shops! Gonna wear my kilt today and see if I can make the "gyaru's" heads turn (since they turn my head regularly).

The Icing on the Turkish Dessert

After Friday night's dinner at Instanbul, a delicious Turkish restaurant in Shinjuku Sanchome, they had a professional belly dancer perform. I'm glad I visited! I especially enjoyed when her sweat splashed my face!

 

She even pulled a pair of women, and then a pair of men out of the audience to dance with her.

 

How the heck does she move like that?!?!?! The years of muscle training and dance it must take... wow.....

Would You Like the L-Size Set?

Hi again!

Here are the McDonalds Food Straps that I've been busily collecting before the summer campaign ends. I really wanted to collect all six and today's lunch (as I mentioned in my previous blog) along with the Universe's help provided!

"Is that to eat in? Or would you prefer take-out?"

Life is what you make of it.

No matter how difficult things may seem...

If you look for the little (and big!) pleasures in every single thing you do, even in the most unusual of circumstances (like McDonalds), your life will be full of love and happiness with no regrets,

I love you!

Feeling Good @ McDonalds

You never know what goes int a McBurger... but even if it isn't all that good, having the opportunity to share a laugh like this makes it all worth while! Wouldn't you agree, Sis?

They have a campaign for the summer where if you order an L Set you get a McStrap. Do they have that campaign where you live, Dear Reader? If they do, then you'll know why I'm doing my best to collect them. I always confuse the poor cashiers by telling them I want the L Set but not the fries. They have to ask a managerif it's OK. Of course it is as the company saves money! So in the end I get what I want. The great thing is that here we can have Japanese Sogenbicha tea instead of a soft drink so there is no sugar in the drink to kill me. Sogenbicha is a great tea made from wheat, rye (not the alcoholic version). And it is L and cold and icy so perfect for lunches on the way to Kobuchizawa.

The campaign is ending soon so I came for lunch. I needed two more straps to get all six... and I got them both today! How did I get two? Well... they made a couple of mistakes with my order but I gues my smiling friendly attitude did the trick.

I now have a BigMac, Double Quarter Pounder w/Cheese, Filet-o-Fish, French Fries, Coffee, and a Hot Apple Pie!

Today I accepted the fries... I don't know why but I did. And I really am glad I did because after taking this photo of a Jr High School student "studying" with his friend, I decided to give them my fries!

And they were very happy to take them (being ravenous teenagers) and devoured them wholeheartedly.

When I was young I went downtown by myself on a weekend. In the basement of The Bay (Eatons?) there was a hot dog malt stand that I liked. I ate and drank and was just sitting on the floor. A man came and ordered two hot dogs. As he was eating one, he looked down and saw me watching him eat. ... and he gave me one of his hot dogs.

That place is no longer there but the feeling of gratitude and appreciation has never left me. To this day I continue to sharew that loving, giving heart with as many people I can, whether I know them or not.

You never know when you will have the opportunity to make someone's NOW moment. But when it comes (like giving your umbrella to someone in the rain so they stay dry) around, jump on it.

Share the love, appreciation, and gratitude for all the goodness you received while growing up and you will be really doing your part to make this a better, more loving world.

Obesity and US.

Governments, health industries, nutritionists, around the world have been focusing relentlessly on reducing the obesity epidemic. Now that "metabolic syndrome" has become a "medical condition", the drug companies are dipping into the pot and selling potentially extremely harmful drugs designed to alter the body mechanisms regarding how we put on weight. This is frightening, because the body responds the way it is supposed to respond: converting carbohydrates and sugars into bodyfat. To counteract that natural response is just asking for trouble. But they (drug makers) know a "good thing" when they see it, so they are capitalizing on our obesity.

You DON'T NEED DRUGS to control this. You need KNOWLEDGE. An understanding of how the body works, how it responds to the foods you eat, and what to do to have your body react NATURALLY so that it burns your own bodyfat, rather than storing the huge amount of carbohydrates we consume AS bodyfat.

Obesity is connected with so many illnesses it ain't funny, gang. We NEED to understand this stuff, because if we continue to listen to the advice of the "professionals", we are going to get exceedingly sicker. This is going to be a big problem for Canadians because the costs for healthcare are going to exceed the amount the government brings in in taxes, etc. What does this mean? It means there will be an overload on "our free healthcare", which will lead the government to move toward a system similar to that in the USA and allow competition, and "the markets" to take care of the problem. But as we can see from the example of the USA, the markets do not solve this problem; the "markets" make people more obese and poorer at the same time the pharmaceutical companies, and private healthcare companies balloon in profit and the executives get billions of dollars of bonuses all based upon how sick we continue to be.

Read www.brianpeskin.com. Read everything he has to offer on his site. Download all of his papers and read them. Learn. Be a scientist for a bit, and understand how your body REALLY reacts to the food you put in your mouth.

Read http://scienceofhealthindex.com/ .
There is a huge amount of research results posted here that likely most have never heard of. Read it. Read it all.

LEARN about this stuff.

And then put it into effect.

If you want to know where to get the right supplements of Parent Essential Oils go to www.yes-supplements.com. Read about the stuff there, and learn. Then make educated decisions.

I also recommend you get Brian Peskin's two books: "The Hidden Story of Cancer", and "The 24-Hour Diet". You can get them at www.pinnacle-press.com. Now if you buy both books you can get the second one at half price, and you can't complain about that.

This morning I read the following article... which led to my evangelism above.

PLEASE. LEARN. THIS. STUFF. Because your doctors, your governments, your nutritionists, your healthcare professionals, your healthcare providers, your personal trainers.... they don't understand. And if you follow their advice which is based upon the current "trendy advice", you will be following in the footprints of millions and millions of people who are heading for disaster...

 

From Reuters Health Information
More Than 70 Million US Adults Obese: US CDC

WASHINGTON (Reuters) Aug 03 - More than 72 million U.S. adults, or 26.7%, are obese, up 1 percentage point in two years, the U.S. government reported on Tuesday.

Obesity has become "a major public health threat" and is steadily worsening, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported.

"We need intensive, comprehensive and ongoing efforts to address obesity," CDC director Dr. Thomas Frieden said in a statement.

"If we don't more people will get sick and die from obesity-related conditions such as heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer, some of the leading causes of death."

The CDC examined data from the national Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, which surveys 400,000 people and asks about height and weight, among other things.

Looking state-by-state, the CDC found that 30% of adults in nine states are now obese. In 2000, no states reported obesity rates of 30% or more.

The survey found 2.4 million more people admitted to being obese (based on their body mass index) in 2009 than in 2007, a 1.1 percentage point increase. And the CDC said this is almost certainly an underestimate, as people often say they are taller and weigh less than they actually do.

"Recent estimates of the annual medical costs of obesity are as high as $147 billion. On average, persons who are obese have medical costs that are $1,429 more than persons of normal weight," the report reads.

Blacks were the most likely to be obese, with 36.8% of U.S. black adults having a BMI of 30 or more - and more than 41% of black women.

More than 30% of Hispanic adults were obese.

As in previous surveys, Mississippi had the most obese people and Colorado the fewest.

The federal government and some states have been moving toward using legislation to help people to exercise and eat healthier foods.

New York and California have been considering a tax on sweetened soft drinks to defray the cost of treating obesity-related diseases. President Barack Obama has made reducing obesity a priority, assigning his wife Michelle Obama and cabinet secretaries to tackle childhood obesity in particular.

"People in all communities should be able to make healthy choices, but in order to make those choices there must be healthy choices to make," the CDC's Dr. William Dietz said.

"We need to change our communities into places where healthy eating and active living are the easiest path."

Yesterday we had the "Edogawa Hanabi Taikai", or Fireworks Festival. The amount of people who came for these fireworks was amazing! I have never seen so many people in my neighbourhood. Apparently it gets like this only once a year: when they hold this festival in the summer. Here is the video: http://tinyurl.com/EdogawaHanabiTaikai

Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night

Today I spent the day making video of ... the day.

"Wow!" you say... "Cam made (another) video of ... *yawn* his day..."

Well, it wasn't any ordinary day, actually. Today is the Edogawa Fireworks Festival, so I spent the day taking video. Now I need to edit... and edit... and edit so you don't end up falling asleep at the computer.

Anyway...

When I was skimming through Yahoo news this morning I happened to click on this link which took me to the Top 20 Downloaded (paid) Songs in digital history. I know some of these (Lady Gaga, Jason Mraz, etc.), but some of them I haven't heard. I have heard OF the Black Eyed Peas, but didn't know their music...

That is until I played the Number One Downloaded song on video ... about 20 times!

"1. The Black Eyed Peas, "I Gotta Feeling," 6,049,000. This ultra catchy song was #1 for 14 weeks, beginning in July 2009. It replaced "Boom Boom Pow" in the top spot, giving the Peas a record-setting 26-week run at #1. It won a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and was nominated for Record of the Year."

SIX MILLION DOWNLOADS!!!!!!

PAID DOWNLOADS!!!!

$1.29 X 6, 049,000 = $7.8 MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy Shit!

It looks like the digital download age is going strong! Wow!! Just Wow...

For only one song. Unbelievable.

If you want some amazing dance music, with gorgeous bodies everywhere, and a song that sticks in your head all day and all night, you simply MUST listen to this (and watch it) a few times.

It's worth the stick!

I gotta feeling
That tonight's gonna be a good night
Tonight's gonna be a good night
Tonight's gonna be a good good night.....

Celiac's Clusterfuck

 

Today I am attaching a recent "study" showing that ONCE AGAIN, the actual number of people with Celiac's Disease (an allergic reaction to wheat, barley, rye, etc.) is "rising". In the old days, it was considered a "rare" disease with one in ten thousand afflicted. That changed by a factor of 10 so that 1/1,000 were considered "wheat intolerant". Then it went up to about 1% of the entire population (1/100) having this inability to digest wheat. Now they are saying it is GREATER than 1% in both adults and children. And as the testing methodology and technology improves, rates continue to climb.

 

Here is what they write:

 

"Their findings suggest that CD is roughly 4 times more common now than in the 1950s.

 

"This tells us that whatever has happened with CD has happened since 1950," Dr. Murray said. "This increase has affected young and old people. It suggests something has happened in a pervasive fashion from the environmental perspective," he added.

 

It blows my mind that they don't understand!!!

 

Those of us who have been following, understanding and living Professor Brian Peskin's extensive research into carbohydrates and essential fatty acids KNOW MORE than these reseachers! This quote, shows how little the scientists, and medical community are paying attention to their original university studies on biochemistry, physiology and the basic science of the body:  "The reason for this increase is mutlifactorial, but there is probably a true underlying increase."

 

What happened 50 years ago? We started living "The Great Carbohydrate Experiment", or "The Great Carbohydrate Lie". That's what happened!

 

About 50 years ago governments, the health industry and nutritionists made the shift from meat, eggs, cheese, natural foods being good for you, to carbohydrates being required for "energy" while all of the above is bad for you ("fat in meat and cheese makes you fat", or "cholesterol in eggs is bad for you", etc.)

 

All I can do is shake my head over the lack of understanding concerning the body's digestion, and use of the food we eat for life requirements.

 

If this article doesn't attach, please let me know and I'll find a way to post it to the site. I have only done this with photos in the past, never with documents, so this is a first.

 

The material requires a login to read, so if you have an account with medscape.com, that's great. If you don't maybe you can make one and get the daily newsletters on this research that continues to show how Brian Peskin continues to be right time and time again.

 

I love you!
