We recently visited a health center in Los Banos Laguna. What is unique in the area is the combination of a health center, a herbal garden and the agricultural center. The medicinal plant garden is in between the two buildings. This setup is unique because it combines the agreement between medicinal plant use and propagation of medicinal plants. Nowadays, we seldom see herbal gardens in good condition near health centers. Since the value of medicinal plant and nutrition are better placed on the preventive aspect of health, we should appreciate that taking high value food and prevent disease would be better than getting sick and paying all those hospital bills and lifetime medications. Food supplements that are beneficial on a long term, preventive mode, also belong to class of modalities of change in life styles. To “Go Natural” and prevent disease is simply better than getting sick.

From Doc Emil: I would suggest that you visit the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) in San Andres Manila. They would be able to help you in planning how to develop an agricultural plan for your lot. Meron din silang mga gabay para sa pagtatanim at seedlings. Medicinal plants, vegetables and fruit tree seedlings are available from BPI. Check their website for more information: http://www.bpi.da.gov.ph/home.html

Hello Dr. Emil,
Gusto ko lang po malaman kung ano ang puwede inumin/kainin to prevent prostate cancer.
Salamat Po.
————————————————-
From Doc Emil: The current research on preventing prostate cancer indicates that we must have with our meals lycopene, vitamin A and vit C. Important also is the maintenance of normal levels or almost normal levels of testosterone. For this you can take tongkat ali supplements in order for our body’s own testosterone to become available. Note: 1% of the body’s testosterone become bound with globulin (in the blood) and this results to non-availability of testosterone -tongkat ali “releases” the bound testosterone making them available for physiologic use.

Dear Dr.Algui,
I am someone who believes in herbal plants.
I am planning to visit PI soon and would like very much
to visit the health center you mentioned in Los Banos and
probably make an appointment with you. Would you be kind enough
to let me know the address of the health center and your office
hours? It was very helpful to me reading your site, I can learn lots of things, only my problem, is I am living in Spain and I don’t get some medicinal plants here.
Thank you very much and continue your good work,
Mrs.Leticia Eijk

Los Banos? Thank you.
Mrs. Eijk
