That makes me prefer home-cooked meals...not only that it is almost always done hygienically, but because it is easier to trace the source of the illness and then correct the (mal)practice to avoid its recurrence (and you have no one else to blame).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977563004357944096.post-64413256246174180272004-06-19T12:13:00.000-04:002004-06-19T12:13:00.000-04:00You can say that again, Manang.

For the past few months I felt tired and sleepy. I complained about my condition to my doctor but he did not pay serious heed to it. One day my urine went brown. I insisted on a blood test that would include all the markers. And you know the story...I was admitted into a hospital straight away.<br><br>Till today the specialist has been unable to identify the cause. But with rest, diet control (home cooking most of the time) and some medicine, I am recovering. I'm keeping outside food to a minimum. Dr Emer has been a great help with his advice and encouragement.<br><br>Never underestimate what outside food can do to you. This is the most likely cause of my condition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7977563004357944096.post-16994715184482575122004-06-21T15:25:00.000-04:002004-06-21T15:25:00.000-04:00Manangku,I have a friend who just checked out of h...Manangku,<br>I have a friend who just checked out of hospital due to bleeding ulcer.
