The biggest different between Nerve cells and non-nerve cells is that the non-neural cell survival requirements are very low. Basically, as long as there are oxygen and glucose, non-neural cells can survive. But the nerve cells need 2 more in addition to the nerve growth factor, they are (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, BDNF) and (Glial Cell-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, GDNF ).
6 Year-old did not understand the words
BDNF has a variety of effects such as increased memory capacity. Some children Never forget, while some children "into the left ear, right ear out"; one of the key is whether the child has sufficient BDNF. BDNF can help the child develop logical thinking. In this regard, one parent said that his children already recognize the apple on the table, but with Apple put upside down, children will not recognize. Lack of logical thinking is a typical example.
A mother is very worried, when her children have reached the age of six, but not understand words, only 'Yi Yi Ya Ya'. The reason is lack of GDNF. GDNF is responsible for coordinating thought and muscle. When an idea emerges cerebral cortex, brain dopamine nerve will spur the muscle to deal with that idea. This is inside the program, including starting the tongue and mouth muscles, the idea of "talking" out; or start arm and finger muscles, the idea of "writing" them; even be a starter muscles, put the idea into action. Tendency of some autistic children, they do not want to speak, only because of the lack of GDNF, can not control the tongue and mouth muscles.
So, how can we increase the BDNF (memory / logic) and GDNF (muscle coordination)? According to the National Health Council (National Institute of Health) study, if we can inhibit the (Histone Deacetylase, HDAC) biological enzyme, The brain astrocytic can increase the manufacturing capacity of BDNF and GDNF.
What health food supplement can inhibit HDAC? The answer is apple pectin (Pectin). Pectin's carbohydrate structure is very complex, There is no digestive enzyme in small intestine to breaks down pectin; However, when the pectin is in the large intestine, the bacteria that live in the large intestine will digest the Butyrate. The Butyrate absorbed in large intestine, can cross blood-brain barrier into the brain, thus stimulating brain astrocytes, to produce BDNF and GDNF.
Repair nerve cells
All in all, if every autistic child is given 2 grams of acetyl carnitine and 2 g of apple pectin purified extracts, it can enhance his absorption / processing knowledge, and even the ability to speak and so on. some examples of immediate, just about three days, has been able to see tangible progress.
Finally, the increase in acetyl-carnitine, can also repair the nerve cells nerve growth factor, this supplement and health food also can alleviate the paralysis of the skin caused by chemotherapy drugs, diabetes induced paralysis, migraine, sciatica, epilepsy and dementia.
The apple pectin, as it can help to increase BDNF, is to calm emotions, to improve ocular hypertension (glaucoma) caused by optic nerve failure, to improve tinnitus and through increased GDNF, so as to alleviate Parkinson's disease.

Health food supplement for Autistism-(acetyl-carnitine)
Is there any health food supplement for Autistism ?
Autism is a physical defect behavior, the general first appeared in the children aged three, symptoms include poor communication, limited interest in their personal, and highly repetitive behavior . Many people believe that autism from congenital or genetic defect, the fact is that the impact of acquired can not be ignored.
In the medical point of view, if the fever heat goes to more than 39 degrees centigrade, it will cause confusion, because the immune system secrete a large amount of IL(interleukin). This intention is summoned to combat the invasion of bacteria and virus; but one of the interleukin-called TNF, stimulate the brain astrocytes, ordered acid secretion Valley salt (Glutamate ), the latter through oxygen radicals, leads to brain cells (especially for cognitive and memory neuronal) injury and even death .
Autistism also have acquired factor
Fever is an illness, patients naturally have no alternative; but scientists point out that children's jab can also lead to massive body of TNF. Why? In fact, any vaccine will lead to IL, but the consequences are serious, critical in its dose. But now the popular approach is a one-off injection of various vaccines, such as the so-called combined vaccine, including whooping cough, tetanus, diphtheria, mumps, measles, German measles. For babies, which means he is suffering from the six disease , even if only one vaccine to the effective dose, there should be no harm, will not lead to excessive IL, but mixed with six vaccines, will greatly stimulate baby Immature immune system, increase the variety of interleukin, resulting in a so-called "IL Storm"; result, a large number of TNF leads to a valley acid salt and hurt the baby's brain tissue, resulting in children suffering from autism. Many parents said baby can memorize 26 letters , followed by signs of a significant step backward after the vaccines injection.
Are all babies accepted a Six-combined vaccine will autistic? No, There are many reasons. For example, the same dose in children of different body weight mixed reaction; Another possibility is the procedure and the human error, such as nursing staff will not complete the vaccine vials powder melt, the vaccine dose can be made different.
In this case, how can a little more protection to children? Or, the child had apparently "injured", how to improve.
Nerve cells have two tentacles, they are called dendrites and axons, used to receive / send messages. For example, if there are 10 of each nerve cell axons, any message, in theory, can be communicated from one nerve cell to 10, even 100, then a thousand other nerve cells. The same principle, if there are 10 of each nerve cell dendrites, transfer three times, nerve cells were able to received thousand messages However, if a nerve cell is damage by a high fever or other reasons, leaving only three axons and three dendrites, information transmission and reception can only rise to 3 series, namely, 3,9,27, instead of 10, 100,1000.
This will seriously affect a person's ability to analyze things. Why? Because the thinking combine the induction and association. It can be said, a man have more nerve cells in the dendrites and axons , this person is probably more intelligent.
There is a health food supplement called acetyl-carnitine, which can increase the effectiveness of dendrites and axons; because it can increase the number of nerve cells responsible for the protection and restoration of the " nerve growth factor "(NGF).

Bull vs Bear 'cash is king'
On Thursday, I got SPXU limit order filled at the close of market when it come 3 points shy of 200 days moving average. Friday morning, I sold all of it when S&P down 12 points and my SPXU up about 2% because I don't feel comfortable to hold my position over a long holiday weekend. As I mention in last blog, bull and bear are even, risk and reward ratio is similar. Cash is king right now.
I believe the market is searching a short term bottom, but the damage of last two weeks is overwhelming, I don't think market will go up V-shape. it may bounce up and down in a range before moving upward or downward. I say this because the low 1030 we saw three days ago is not the ultimate short term low I am looking for, 1100-960 with panic selling combine with a very high VIX reading is what I am hoping to see. As a matter of fact that market won't listen to me or consider what I am doing. Therefore, I will go back to the textbook, 'go with the flow, trend is your friend,cash is king'.
Spain lost its AAA credit grade at Fitch Ratings. The ratings company yesterday cut the grade one step to AA+ and assigned it a “stable” outlook. Spain has held the top rating at Fitch since 2003. Standard & Poor’s lowered Spain’s ratings to AA on April 28.
Let's see how the market will react to this on Tuesday market open. I am 100% in cash right now and waiting for the market to tell me what to do.

200 days moving average
Wednesday morning, S&P gap up, it reach +15 at one point, I almost place an order to short it. well, market order is not my favourite choice, so I decided to place an limit order and wait for a better entry price. Market go back down -6 at the end. Miss the chance to make some money.
Market still searching a short term bottom, at this moment, the most critical point to watch is the 200 days moving average which is 1104. That's the limit short order I place in this morning. If the market is strong enough to break through this point and stay, bull may take charge. However, if it turn back after touching it, then the bear will gain power.
My short term strategy is

My short term strategy is
- to short the market again if it reach 200 days moving average and go back down.
- to start adding long position when it keep sell off to 1010 and below.

Risk Reward Ratio
Tuesday market gap down, a little bit panic selling, I sold the rest of SPXU stock at the best price 39.8. That's the advantage and the art of selling at limit price, because the market bounce back up at the end of the day, and it also shows a long tail hanging man candlestick, looks like it want to go back up a little. I am 100% in cash now because the Risk Reward ratio on either bull or bear is very even.
Personally, I really want to see the S&P go down to 1010, the Dow 9400 , which are the 38% fibonacci retracement level from the low 666 to high 1200. Another support is 990 which is the 80 weeks moving average. We can see there is a very strong support around 1010 to 990.
Market is oversold, it's searching for a bottom anytime from now, however, the momentum is still down and we are looking for some technical bounce (1103, 200 days moving average) in this correction before we see the real short term bottom . If there is some panic selling down to 1010 and 990, we will start accumulating.

Short term bottom?
I've been holding SPXU for a while, which is a ETF 3x shorting the S&P500, I sold half of my holding on last Friday low around 1050, Future market shows 27 points down by the time of this writing. I might sell the other half of my holding tomorrow. Then I will looking for a good price to long this market again.
The bearish view is all over the market now. The news from Korea seems to be the trigger of this short term panic bottom, I believe the market will go back up to retest the 200 days moving average, if you are patient enough or you want to play it safe in a long term, you can wait until it hits the 80 weeks moving average which is about 990. Textbook told you not to catch a falling knife. My theory is to separate invest capital into 3 or 4 portion to catch a falling knife.

Bitter Melon's unique therapeutic properties
When you better understand the investments you make in your health and well-being, you can make better decisions.
The mounting research into bitter melon's unique therapeutic properties appears to be another advantages of certain natural therapies over many conventional drugs. In India, for example, doctors are so confident about the anti-diabetic effect of bitter melon that it is often dispensed in hospitals to people suffering from diabetes in place of medication.
Conventional drugs are often limited to treating just one specific condition, whereas natural remedies - because of the complex array of biochemicals, vitamins and minerals they contain - are remarkably versatile and able to provide relief for a wide range of unrelated conditions. In bitter melon, for example, there are 32 active ingredients - which are thought to aid recovery from viral infections, improve digestion and stimulate poor appetite too.
Recently, the Department of Health in the Philippines has recommended bitter melon as one of the best herbal medicines for diabetic management. And multiple clinical studies have clearly established the role of bitter melon in people with diabetes.
In the USA and Asia there has been much interest in bitter melon for its use as an alternative therapy for AIDs. A protein called MAP 30 isolated from the fruit is a potent inhibitor of HIV activity. Professor Sylvia Lee-Huang and researchers at the New York University School of Medicine reported that MAP 30 protein is able to slow down HIV-1 infection in T-lymphocytes and monocytes (white blood cells) as well as replication of HIV-1 in infected cells.
And, unlike many other alternative anti-HIV treatments, the compound has been shown to be non-toxic to uninfected cells. Although research is very much in its early stages, two other proteins present in the seeds of the bitter melon, alpha- and beta-momorcharin, have also been found to inhibit the AIDs virus.
Bitter melon may prove to have general anti-viral properties too. A seed extract has been shown to deter herpes virus-1 in human cells. While anti-cancer properties are present in a crude extract of the fruit.

Correction or Bear Market?

Yesterday was the first real panic that the market has seen since the “Glitch” on May 6th. The strange low that day of 1,066 is being generally accepted as an anomaly with the “real low” being at around 1,100 on the S&P 500.
The accuracy of this guesswork is in question. However if true, then yesterday’s low on the S&P at 1,100.66 could be considered a successful test of the psychologically important round number of 1,100. More than that it was, at least temporarily, a successful test (its third) of the 200-day moving average now at 1,103.44.
And so the major question at hand is this: Will the S&P 500 hold at the important zone of 1,085 to 1,115 which contains the 200-day moving average, or will it penetrate it and signal us that a major correction is underway?
Then, we have today’s cut through the 200-day moving average, if prices head south, the next target is at 1,070 and then the February low at 1,050.
Most expect buyers to get aggressive on a pullback to the 1070-1050 zone. I expect the SPX to trade back to 1200 by August despite the EU’s sovereign debt problems. But remember my ultimate long term view is bearish, market will fall and retest March, 2009 low!
Finally, a word of wisdom, "Never predict the market, listen,read and observe the market and let it tell you what to do"
