The FDA Rules on Dietary Supplements

by @ 11:16 pm. Filed under -That Health Rules


Finally!!!…The US FDA has made some firm stand on dietary supplements.  In the medical community it has been a puzzle as to why the health governing agency has always been hands off with regard regulating these dietary supplements!.  And how come nobody monitors the safety and the standards of this multibillion dollar industry. The same goes with our local FDA and BFAD where supplements boast as being BFAD approved as if this is a tag to prove that the products are safe to be used by consumers.  You hear this on radio and you ...

The Asian Entrepreneur and the Western CEO

by @ 12:45 am. Filed under -BizDriven Life


If you look at Asian corporations, you will find that most companies have founders and CEOs are one and the same, while in most Western companies, that may not necessarily be so. Another thing you might notice is that mostly Asian founders start companies for keeps, and probably with the eye to have it manage by their heirs or children, while mostly Western companies are generally more open, and it is not unusual to start companies that are meant to be sold, or to sell companies if the price is good. The ...

The Truth About Sex and Aging….

by @ 7:04 pm. Filed under -That Health Rules


It may be true that as we age, our sex life tends to deteriorate “literally”.  The frequency of sex may now be a factor due to more stresses in life both on the part of the husband and wife.  Likewise the notion that sex in older people is a “taboo” and not to be talked about is no longer acceptable. Sex will always be a part of a good relationship.  And no matter how old, sex should be an essential element to a happy and healthy companionship. The AARP recently in America held a ...

Tips to Overcome WORRY…

by @ 9:44 pm. Filed under -That Health Rules


Ever so often I have patients who worry too much on something that for me is so trivial that needs no worrying.  To worry can be normal but prolonged worrying can be bad!  The stress hormones associated with worrying can result in long term harm to ones body. I beleive in counting my blessings first before I start to consider if this thing is worth my worrying or not! Worrying from time to time is normal, even healthy, because it is the body’s way to respond to threatening situations. But be careful because ...

Myths on Outsourcing

by @ 8:55 pm. Filed under - Negosyo Tayo


This is an excellent article of expectations and realities of offshore outsourcing.  Here is my own interpretations on some of the myths that are presented:a.) you cannot have it all.  You can't have cost reductions, improvement in service, plus flexibility all thrown in.  Such would be too big an expectation.b.) Getting the right partner matters - and a good partner may not be the cheapest.c.) Too detaild or too lax contracts won't work.d.) YOu cannot ask your vendor to take on unlimited indemnities for failure.  In short, outsourcing does not ...

This week, instead of giving you the usual technology updates and analysis, I will be doing something basic, or maybe throw some futuristic thoughts. I will try to give my thoughts on the role of technology not only in our life and work, but as technology progress to touch every inch of our existence, how much we think and to what extent should we allow them into our lives? The reason I am reflecting is that I read a book entitled The Giver which is written by Lois Lowry. ...
