Gift of Spiritual Healing:

“2 Mata” - “2 eyes” Heat-processed Judge Floro’s Coconut Healing Oil



“With Due Respect”:
Filipino Dwarf Justice Retains Legal Title of “Judge” until Eternity

Judge Florentino Floro posted (wrote) in http://www.asiafinest.com/ forum:



Midnights and 3pm on Fridays, Judge Floro's 3 mystic dwarves release Vendetta light strikes patiently targeting Honorable Thieves and Filipino crabs, igniting cyber fires aimed at all his enemies and persecutors, so that their loved ones would suffer lingering illnesses and horrible deaths due to the Biblical curse

“When I started healing on April 30, 1999, I began to have used ordinary heat processed coconut oil (here in our country, Philippines, the herbolaryos, quack doctors, and today, the herbalists, especially the nuns of Davao City, had learned to produce this healing oil by – cooking, odd numbers (3, 5, 7 etc.) fresh mature ordinary coconuts, meaning of 7,000 in one hectare, each has 3 holes or we call mata /eyes on top).

Hypocrisy, Liberty and Prosperity: No pain, No gain

Since the 19th century, they learned to cook it, passing to generations; the best time for them, is Good Friday, 12nn- 3pm, or first Fridays, same times; then, they would grate the meat manually (now we use machines), then they put clean water, then in big cauldron (66-75 pieces would suffice), they would cook it slowly, using the same coconuts husks and shells with wood, one direction only, and SILENCE is required (for if there are spectators, then, the oil extracted would be few).




The "latik" must be roasted to black so that the coconut healing oil would not turn rancid

Judge Floro's “2 mata” or “2 eyes” rarest fresh mature coconuts, healing oil

IMPORTANT, is the cooking of the LATIK (coconut cream) to almost roasted black, so that the ingredients would be intact. My maids followed the above - tradition, and we obtain about 2 liters from 70 coconuts. I had healed about 6,000 patients from 1999-2003, and they said that my oil differs from the Church or other coconut oils.

The mystic palms of Judge Floro versus evil, enemies, persecutors, detractors, Supreme Court Justices and Judges

The permanently golden palms of Judge Floro (2000) which emit extreme heat in spiritual healing since he was bestowed the gift on June 2, 1999



These mystic healing hands of prophet Judge Floro emit VIOLET-white lights to heal the poorest of the poor and to heal the wounds of corruption in the Philippine judiciary, by emitting spiritual fire to inflict dire illnesses, accidents and horrible deaths upon corrupt judiciary officers and all his enemies and detractors

The reason is that my oil would not smell MA-ANTA, or rancid, after TIME. And the therapeutic effects are very satisfactory, they said. The Ordinary Coconut has 3 mata or eyes.



The dwarf Justice promulgates a guilty verdict against all Judge Floro's enemies

On March 15, 2003, when I went to Lingayen, Pangasinan (after I visited the famous healer Alex Orbito's Manaoag Healing Center called PYRAMID OF ASIA, where I saw his imported wood that allegedly cost $ 300,000, I went inside it and discovered that the coconut OIL he placed there, would smell MA-ANTA or bad, like all other oils, unlike, mine), after I visited the Bagoong and Bukayo (coconut candy) factories, I accidentally discovered the 2-mata rare coconut. I bought a piece for P 40.00 (P 49 = $ 1), had it cooked on Good Friday, April, 2003. Until today, it turned colorless and has no bad smell.



Grated coconut from fresh mature coconut is the source of the "kakang gata" or coconut milk which produces the "latik" and coconut healing oil



I offered P 100 per piece here in Bulacan, Philippines, but I could not get many, so I was able to contact Munoz Market, Quezon City, where there are plenty of coconuts sold. So, I ordered, and it would take one month to buy 70 2 mata coconuts, at P 35 each, unlike the ordinary ones, P 15. My maids cooked the first 65 about June, 2003. Until today, I have a bottle and the oil is golden, unchanged, and the smell is aromatic.

When I healed at Angat, Bulacan, I told the old folks rich and poor, to cook the ordinary coconuts as above-done by my maids. They did, since there are plenty of ordinary coconuts there. But the results were the same as there, around, bad smell, white-yellowish like vegetable oil, UNLIKE, what my maids cooked: GOLDEN color, very aromatic, and for 3-4 years, would retain the aromatic odors and golden color. THIS, I COULD NOT EXPLAIN, this I think, science would not be able to explain. NOW, coming to the physical differences between ordinary 3mata vis-a-vis the 2mata coconuts: I found that:



Judge Floro's dwarf horse punishes all his enemies, detractors and persecutors with instant horrible pains and deaths

1. My source (hundreds of thousands are sold at said market), told me that on the average, only 2 (+ -) MATA appear of 7,000, in one hectare land;

2. 90% of the 2mata coconuts produce 30% less coco juice, and 50% smaller in size from the 3 mata; 3. The color is quite different, less golden yellow; and the aromatic odor is the same; 4. The therapeutic potency, medical and clinical efficacy are 5 times, based on my own and my patient's experiences;

Example: 2mata eases arthritis pain in 2 minutes, the 3mata, in 30 minutes, the VCO oil, maybe, one day or no result at all; my maid had drug related skin diseases all over the body for 3 years, that could not be cured of 3mata, the 2mata cured the ailment in just a week (same for eczema); a neighbor that was pronounced terminally ill for prostate cancer (could not urinate even with gadgets due to PUS,etc.) was healed by drinking 2mata oils for a week, and so forth.



A one hectare coconut plantation yields only 2 pieces of "2 mata" coconuts out of 7,000 fresh mature coconuts

I wrote and talked to a high official of our Philippine Coconut Authority, and they told me, that they already tested 2mata chemically, but due to lack of FUNDS, they could not proceed, so until today, I am waiting for their call, for me to submit samples. REGARDING my statement that VCO is hoax commercially, I say this, since, I read in the INTERNET truckloads of their studies, ads, etc.

But, DIRECT to the POINT: WHAT IS THE CLINICAL RESULT, WAS THE SAMPLING REPRESENTATIVE, AND CAN THEY SELL VCO AS MEDICINE, DRUG IN DRUG STORES OR as SUPPLEMENTS ONLY? The point, is, VCO was launched versus SOYA in the STATES, with Dr. Conrado Dayrit’s study and his own CONCLUSION. The internet was flooded with ORDERS of VCO, they raked money, but the 64$ question is: WHAT IS THE CLINICAL RESULT in using VCO? My answer, my opinion, is:



Judge Floro's dwarf magneto-ipo-ipos curses and sentences all his enemies, detractors and persecutors with instant horrible pains and deaths

VCO is like taheebo, INTRA, TEAS, Chinese medicines, that could not be on par with FDA's approved DRUGS that are orthodox medicines.

Virgin Coconut Oil is a commercial hoax vis-à-vis Judge Floro’s Coconut Healing / Medicinal Oil

Contrary to Dr. Conrado Dayrit's claims on VCO's (virgin coconut oil) medical therapeutic potency and results (as he submitted his subjective studies regarding San Lazaro, Philippine Hospital tests on HIV patients, citing and using Dr. Bruce Fife, a commercialism expert - vide, May 25, 2005, P.I. Daily Inquirer), suffice it to say, that his claims and findings run contrary to et's parameters (supported by medical sources).



Today, Virgin coconut oil is no longer a dominant market force, since it failed to fool Filipinos about the commercial magic claims of its manufacturers.




Bruce Fife, N.D. and Dr. Conrado S. Dayrit, M.D.+ wrote virgin coconut oil books which never proved any medical therapeutic effects of their claims turning the VCO magic into hoax, or illusion, so to speak.




First, the proper FORUM never investigated his findings, thus, under our laws, SELF-serving, biased, subjective and, dubious (since on its face, it has a hidden agenda of commercializing the oils for the VCO producer's benefits contra the soya oil producers). WHY DID HE AND THE VCO producers intentionally PREVENTED the PUBLIC, the PHILIPPINE COCONUT AUTHORITY, DOST, PHILIPPINE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION, etc. from having been presented the TRUTH about 2 mata or 2 eyes fresh mature rare coconuts?

Vide - renowned writer Zac Zarian, "What's New in VCO?", Panorama, Manila Bulletin. As I said, my oil had been extracted for chemical testing, and ultimately for clinical studies, later on, by the proper Philippine unbiased government forum.
I studied in the ATENEO, but I think Ateneo is biased, since its testing center is headed by Dr. Dayrit's son, Dr. Fabian Dayrit, as head.



Midnights and 3pm on Fridays, Judge Floro's 3 mystic dwarves, per the magic machine, release Vendetta Violet light strikes patiently targeting Honorable Thieves and Filipino crabs, igniting cyber fires aimed at all his enemies and persecutors, so that their loved ones would suffer lingering illnesses and horrible deaths due to the Biblical curse

I wrote Dr. Gary Sy on this, but he said that 2 mata is so rare for them to start on the study (as he called me by phone, as I did criticize objectively, his study on VCO, and unproved claims appearing in Feb. 25, 2005, Manila Bulletin, Life extension, "Coconut oil as medicine", as I said, VCO is not a medicine, it is a COMMERCIAL HOAX (like previously, Filipinos were DECEIVED by claims of foreign TAHEEBOO, INTRA, our Ernie Barons LACTOBACILLI preparations, now our market is flooded with CARICA's hoax about VCO and don't be stunned - MANGOSTEEN !

Aside from Dr. Gary Sy and the 2 Dr. Dayrits, father and son tandem, I also wrote Makati Medical Center's Dr. VERMEN VERALLO-ROWELL (dermatology, as I submitted to her in writing, my comparative studies on VCO vis-a-vis 2 mata rarest coconut medicinal and healing oil), to Dr. Teresita Espino, of Los Banos Laguna, University of the Philippines (BIOTECH, SHE CLAIMS THAT SHE AND UP DO HAVE THE ONLY AUTHENTIC VCO MACHINE).

They refused to consider my paper, since I was told that THEY LACK FUNDS AND it is very expensive to buy 2 mata rare coconuts (2 appear out of 7,000). With all these, I hope that someday, medicine and science would be able to study these rarest 2 mata fresh mature coconuts contrary to the claims of VCO ordinary coconut producers.”

Discover the amazing versatility of coconut oil

Coconut oil is ideal as a high-heat cooking oil, a "better than butter" replacement on bread and steamed veggies, or a tasty and nutritious substitute for shortening in baking. We suggest you use coconut and palm oils for cooking, and olive (a heat-sensitive oil with a low smoke point), hemp, and flax oils for cold dressings. This will help increase your levels of healthy Lauric Acid, Omega-3, and GLA fatty acids, while lowering your intake of Omega-6 and junk oils.

While we need to consume a 4:1 ratio of Omega-6s to Omega-3s, the average American diet provides a ratio of 30:1 or more! it can also be used topically to alleviate dry skin. It is great as a carrier for massage oils, and is highly valued as ingredients in natural skin care products. Because it is so rich in lauric acid, combined with the fact that is has proven antiviral and antibacterial agents it is currently being tested as a treatment for Aids.



In his book, Mr. Jaime T. Licauco featured Judge Floro as one of the finest Philippine healers, 1999

Religion in the Philippines -
Gifts of healing
1 Cor 12:9, 12:28

Faith healing is the attempt to use religious or spiritual means such as prayer to cure disease. Proponents claim that prayers, mental practices, spiritual insights, or other techniques can summon divine or supernatural interventions on behalf of the ill.


February 27, 2001, page 132 of the Transcript of Stenographic Notes of Mr. Jaime T. Licauco's testimony, certifying under his oath Judge Floro's authentic healing and as sole healing Judge worldwide

According to the varied beliefs of those who practice it, faith healing may be said to afford gradual relief from pain or sickness or to bring about a sudden "miracle cure", and it may be used in place of, or in tandem with, conventional medical techniques for alleviating or curing diseases. Faith healing has been criticized on the grounds that those who use it may delay seeking potentially curative conventional medical care. This is particularly problematic when parents use faith healing techniques on children.



Violet is the highest color in healing

The term "faith healing" is sometimes used in reference to the belief of some Christians who hold that God heals people through the power of the Holy Spirit, often involving the "laying on of hands". Those who hold to this belief do not usually use the term "faith healing" in reference to the practice; that expression is often used descriptively by commentators outside of the faith movement in reference to the belief and practice.


Filipino 'dwarf' judge loses case*(Sacked for "consulting" Mystic Dwarves -Dopey & Bashfull I expect (karma: 3)

Faith healing is reported by Catholics as the result of intercessory prayer of a saint or a person with the gift of healing. Among the best-known accounts among Catholics of faith healing are those attributed to miraculous intercession of the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary known as Our Lady of Lourdes at the grotto of Lourdes in France, and the remissions of life-threatening disease claimed by those who have applied for aid to Saint Jude, who is known as the "patron saint of lost causes". There are a number of religions that exist in the Philippines. But predominantly, it is a Christian country. The following statistics are from the CIA Factbook and the 2000 census:



* Christian: 90.3%
o Roman Catholic: 80.9%
o Evangelical: 2.8%
o Iglesia ni Cristo: 2.2%
o Aglipayan: 2%
o other Christian: 4.5%
* Muslim: 5%
* other: 1.8%
* unspecified: 0.6%
* none: 0.1%

Coconut Healing Oil

Coconut oil has been used throughout Asia and the Pacific for thousands of years as both a food and a medicine. Even today it holds a highly respected position in the Ayurvedic medicine of India. Only recently has modern medical research confirmed the many health benefits traditionally attributed to this remarkable oil.

Once mistakenly thought to be bad because of its saturated fat content, coconut oil is now known to contain a unique form of saturated fat that actually helps in prevention of various medical conditions.



Ball-and-stick model of the lauric acid molecule, C12H24O2, AKA dodecanoic acid

Lauric acid (systematically: dodecanoic acid), a saturated fatty acid, is a white, powdery solid with a faint odor of bay oil or soap. Lauric acid is the main acid in coconut oil and in palm kernel oil (not to be confused with palm oil), and is believed to have antimicrobial properties. It is also found in human milk (5.8% of total fat), cow's milk (2.2%), and goat's milk (4.5%).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lauric_Acid

Lauric Acid - Coconut Oil



'Glyceryl laurate, also glycerol monolaurate, is a monoglyceride surfactant. It is the ester formed from glycerol and lauric acid. Its chemical formula is C15H30O4. It is most commonly used in deodorants.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolaurin

Extensive research on the nutritional and medicinal benefits on coconut oil has surfaced in recent years. Much of that research has been done by Dr. Mary Enig. Dr. Enig has categorized coconuts as a "functional food," which provides health benefits over and beyond the basic nutrients. She has particularly identified lauric acid as a key ingredient in coconut products:

"Approximately 50% of the fatty acids in coconut fat are lauric acid. Lauric acid is a medium chain fatty acid, which has the additional beneficial function of being formed into monolaurin in the human body. Monolaurin is the antiviral, antibacterial, and antiprotozoal monoglyceride used by the humans to destroy lipid coated viruses such as HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus, influenza, various pathogenic bacteria including listeria monocytogenes and heliobacter pylori, and protozoa such as giardia lamblia. Some studies have also shown some antimicrobial effects of the free lauric acid."



LUIS andJudge Floro's mystic violet lights are used to mercilessly strike the main vessels of his targets, the Honorable Supreme Court Judicial Thieves and Filipino crabs, igniting cyber fires aimed at all his enemies and persecutors, cursed relatives, so that their loved ones would die horrible deaths due to the Biblical curse

As a "functional food," coconut oil is now being recognised by the medical community as a powerful tool against immune diseases. Several studies have been done on its effectiveness, and much research is currently being done on the incredible nutritional value of pure coconut oil. The references for the research can be found in The Healing Miracles of Coconut Oil by Dr. Bruce Fife, ND.

The saturated fat in coconut oil is unlike the fat found in meat or other vegetable fats. It is identical to a special group of fats found in human breast milk which have been shown to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and protect against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.
These fats, derived from coconut oil, are now routinely used in hospital IV formulations and commercial baby formulas. They're also used in sports drinks to boost energy and enhance athletic performance.



Dr Mary Enig, world renowned lipid biochemist and the foremost voice in the fight against trans fats (manufactured fats), shared some of her experiences with Ben during the conference

Mary Gertrude Enig, PhD (born 1931) is a nutritionist who reviews research on and writes articles about the nutritional aspects of fats. Enig attended the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP), receiving an MS, and later a PhD in Nutritional Sciences in 1984.[citation needed] She was a Licensed Nutritionist in Maryland from May 1988 to October 2008.

Enig is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition [2] and was one of three to be named a Master of the organization in 2003.[3] In 1987, Enig was accepted as an associate member of the American Society for Nutritional Sciences[4]. She is also a member of The International Network of Cholesterol Skeptics (THINCS).

Healthy lifestyle: The truth about coconut oil

The stories that abound about coconut oil almost make it something to be banished from your kitchen. The truth is, coconut oil has been given a bad rap for years and so many persons have missed all the benefits associated with the coconut, this versatile fruit. However, at a time when strange viruses are around, coconut oil takes pride of place as an antiviral, tackling the most resistant viruses. How can one product be so good? It is nature's medicine cabinet, effective in destroying viruses that cause influenza, sinusitis, measles, hepatitis and AIDS. It also destroys bacteria that can cause throat infections, stomach ulcers, urinary tract infections, venereal diseases and meningitis. As an anti-fungal, coconut oil destroys ringworm, candida, thrush and parasites that can cause intestinal infections such as giardiasis.

Structure



Jonathan Katz (USA), Kim Evans (England), Lord Smith of Finsbury (England)

A colourless oil extracted from the flesh of the coconut, what causes coconut oil to be so powerful in its medicinal properties? According to Kim Evans, natural health writer and author of Cleaning Up! The Ultimate Body Cleanse, it is all in the structure of the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which include capric acid, caprylic acid and lauric acid, all making up over 60 per cent of the oil.

Medium-chain fatty acids are often not understood but their uniqueness makes them special and they are only found in a few places in nature, coconut oil and breast milk being among those sources. Historically, coconut oil was used during World War II by Japanese military, who occupied the Philippines and other South Pacific islands. However, supplies to the United States dried up during the long war years so the US began to develop alternative sources of cooking oil, giving rise to the influx of polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Unfortunately, the oil that replaced coconut oil was hydrogenated vegetable oil, which has now been proven detrimental to health.

Trans fats

The real problem with fats is trans-fatty acids created by modern technology which are foreign to the body. Trans-fatty acids are manufactured by a process called hydrogenation, which aims at stabilising polyunsaturated oils to prevent them from becoming rancid and to preserve them at room temperature. Trans-fatty acids are dangerous for the heart and are risk factors for certain cancers.

Hydrogenated fats are used in stick and hard margarine, fast foods, commercial baked goods, processed foods and fried foods. By the time the war was over, Dr Mercola posited that big bucks were invested in the manufacture of the polyunsaturated oils, so their promotion had to continue. Coconut oil and other saturated fats like butter and eggs were touted as villains and blamed for raising cholesterol levels and contributing to the steep rise in heart disease.



The Danger of Hydrogenated or Partially Hydrogenated Fats by Dr. Gary Farr on 26 November 2001

http://www.becomehealthynow.com/ebookprint.php?id=135

Hydrogenation is the chemical reaction that results from the addition of hydrogen (H2). The process is usually employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds. The process typically constitutes the addition of pairs of hydrogen atoms to a molecule. Catalysts are required for the reaction to be usable; non-catalytic hydrogenation takes place only at very high temperatures. Hydrogen adds to double and triple bonds in hydrocarbons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogenation

Tropical oils, soybean oil battle

Later, the soybean industry condemned the use of tropical oils such as coconut oil which 'fell from grace' because the poorer countries which produced coconut oil could not afford to fight it. An examination of the traditional diets and the effects of coconut oil in the diet revealed that persons who consumed diets high in coconut products were healthy and trim (Mercola.com).

Research results published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition indicated that of the two Polynesian groups studied with coconut as the chief source of energy, both populations exhibited positive health of the heart.



Soybean oil had a virtual reality commercial battle versus virgin coconut oil

http://www.soyconnection.com/soybean_oil/research_pipeline.php



Virgin or extra virgin

Fats, in general, have earned a bad reputation, but not all fats are bad for your health. Apart from providing energy, fats consumed in the right amounts and of the right type may be beneficial to your health. Coconut oil, with its medium-chain fatty acids, is definitely one of the good fats.

Cold-pressed virgin coconut oil is one of the richest sources of medium-chain fatty acids with a high content of lauric acid, protecting you from a range of diseases. Short- and medium-chain fatty acids are easily absorbed by the body, as it requires less energy and fewer enzymes, thereby improving digestion. These fatty acids are transported directly to the liver, where they are immediately converted to energy.

Nutrition



Atherosclerosis (also known as Arteriosclerotic Vascular Disease or ASVD) is the condition in which an artery wall thickens as the result of a build-up of fatty materials such as cholesterol.

It is a syndrome affecting arterial blood vessels, a chronic inflammatory response in the walls of arteries, in large part due to the accumulation of macrophage white blood cells and promoted by Low-density lipoproteins (plasma proteins that carry cholesterol and triglycerides) without adequate removal of fats and cholesterol from the macrophages by functional high density lipoproteins (HDL), (see apoA-1 Milano).

It is commonly referred to as a hardening or furring of the arteries. It is caused by the formation of multiple plaques within the arteries.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atherosclerosis

Coconut oil is nutritionally sound as the flesh has about nine grams of fibre per cup and as much protein as green beans and carrots, as well as folic acid, calcium, iron and vitamins B1, B6, C and E.

You may want to revisit your youthful days with grandma and coconut oil was the only oil used to prepare tasty, home-cooked meals. You may have been having a drink of coconut water or eating the meat from dried coconut or as flakes in pies and cookies but you may not have been cooking with it.

Coconut oil is called 'the healthiest dietary oil on earth'. Its stability makes it excellent for cooking and baking at high temperatures. If you are not yet cooking with coconut oil, you may want to make that switch for health's sake. Benefits of cooking with coconut oil Lowers cholesterol. Recent studies have shown that the type of saturated fat in coconut helps you to metabolise cholesterol faster, lowering overall cholesterol levels.

Contributes to youthfulness. The consumption of coconut oil leads to the stimulation of the thyroid gland, which contributes to the lowering of cholesterol levels. A well-regulated thyroid uses cholesterol to make chemicals vital to disease prevention and slowing ageing. Helps with weight loss. A healthy thyroid reduces the likelihood of obesity.



The Fountain of Youth by Lucas Cranach the Elder

Judge Floro's coconut healing oil is the real "Fountain of Youth"

The Fountain of Youth is a legendary spring that reputedly restores the youth of anyone who drinks of its waters. Tales of such a fountain have been recounted across the world for thousands of years, appearing in Herodotus, the Alexander romance, and the stories of Prester John. Stories of a similar waters were also evidently prominent among the indigenous peoples of the Caribbean during the Age of Exploration, who spoke of the restorative powers of the water in the mythical land of Bimini.

The legend became particularly prominent in the 16th century, when it became attached to the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León, first Governor of Puerto Rico. According to an apocryphal story that features a combination of New World and Eurasian elements, Ponce de León was searching for the Fountain of Youth when he traveled to what is now Florida in 1513. Since then stories of the fountain have become some of the most persistent associated with the state.

May prevent cancer. A healthy thyroid is linked to reducing cancer risks. Studies have shown that the incidence of cancer is less in consumers of coconut milk-rich diets, compared to those whose diets are loaded with unsaturated fats. Prevents infections. Coconut oil contains 60 per cent of a fatty acid known as lauric acid. The body converts lauric acid into a substance that fights bacteria, viruses and infections in infants.

Lauric acid, a fatty acid, is also found in breast milk. Lauric acid produces chemicals that protect the immune system. Provides an immediate source of energy. This is influenced by the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil. Reduces the risk of heart disease and atherosclerosis. A study of two community groups in New Zealand which consume a large amount of coconut oil showed rare incidence of heart attack. Improves condition of the skin. The rich texture of coconut milk makes it effective to be added to beauty products such as lotions and shampoos. Prevents blemishes/acne.

When applied to the skin, coconut oil reduces inflammation to prevent psoriasis, rosacea and rashes. Prevents hair damage. Protein penetrates hair shaft to prevent damage. Excellent as a deep conditioner for the hair. Aids in the control of diabetes.

Medium-chain Fatty Acids as Ligands for Orphan G Protein-coupled Receptor GPR84

In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid often with a long unbranched aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Carboxylic acids as short as butyric acid (4 carbon atoms) are considered to be fatty acids, whereas fatty acids derived from natural fats and oils may be assumed to have at least eight carbon atoms, caprylic acid (octanoic acid), for example. The most abundant natural fatty acids have an even number of carbon atoms because their biosynthesis involves acetyl-CoA, a coenzyme carrying a two-carbon-atom group (see fatty acid synthesis).

Fatty acids are produced by the hydrolysis of the ester linkages in a fat or biological oil (both of which are triglycerides), with the removal of glycerol. See oleochemicals. Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids derived from, or contained in esterified form in, an animal or vegetable fat, oil, or wax.

Natural fatty acids commonly have a chain of four to 28 carbons (usually unbranched and even numbered), which may be saturated or unsaturated. By extension, the term is sometimes used to embrace all acyclic aliphatic carboxylic acids. This would include acetic acid, which is not usually considered a fatty acid because it is so short that the triglyceride triacetin made from it is substantially miscible with water and is thus not a lipid.

BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE: New coconut products have strong market potential

Dr Davina D Bawalan, an international coconut processing consultant, spoke of the importance of another product derived from coconut—virgin coconut oil (VCO). “Amongst plant-derived vegetable, seed and nut oils, VCO is unique in that it is the only oil with multi-functional uses.”

“VCO can be used in a wide range of edible and inedible applications, presenting great flexibility in marketing it,” Dr Bawalan said. She noted that copra-derived coconut oil has been produced and used commercially for more than a century, with the first coconut oil milling plant being established in the Philippines in 1908.

“Its use in edible and inedible applications is already well established. VCO can also be utilised in all applications where crude or cochin (refined, bleached and deodorised) coconut oil are traditionally used and will be a much better alternative if it can be made available in large volumes at an affordable price.” “For edible purposes, coconut oil is generally used as frying and cooking oil because of its good resistance to developing rancidity.”



VCO could also be used as substitute for the expensive butterfat used in reconstituted milk and cheese and in ice cream to make the products cheaper and more affordable without changing their palatability. Hydrogenated coconut oil can be used for margarine, shortening and baking fats. Coconut oil has several other edible applications. It provides a source of fat in infant formulas and baby foods because of its easy digestibility and absorbability. It is used as spray oil for crackers, cookies and cereals to enhance flavour and increase shelf life. The oil is also a common ingredient in confectionery.

Apart from its food value, coconut oil is used as raw material in the manufacture of laundry and bath soaps, biodegradable detergents, shampoos, shower gels and cleaning agents. “With the advent of the energy crisis in the 1970s, coconut oil and coconut oil-derived coco methyl ester were tried as diesel fuel substitutes,” Bawalan said.

“At present, coco methyl ester is being used in the Philippines as a fuel additive or fuel enhancer for diesel, at a blend of up to 2%, to support the country’s Clean Air Act and Biofuels Act.”

Bawalan said several studies showed that adding coco methyl ester to diesel fuel substantially reduced smoke emission and nitrous oxide formation. “In most Pacific Islands countries, filtered coconut oil is blended with either diesel fuel or kerosene and used for automotive fuel and power generation.” VCO is also finding new commercial applications as a hair and skin conditioner, an oil base for various cosmetic and skin care products, carrier oil for aromatherapy and massage oils, and as a nutraceutical and functional food.

Coconut Bio-diesel as Vehicle Fuel

The use of oil obtained from the nuts of the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) for use as a B100 Biodiesel fuel has been supported the past several years by our company. The use of coconut oil and other vegetable oils in the production of B100 Biodiesel, or "Coconut Biodiesel," is not new.

Medical vs herbal vs generics

Written by Jose Ma. Fernandez / Free Enterprise
Tuesday, 15 September 2009

THIS is neither a body of expert work or the musings of an informed person on the subject of medicines. At best, I am a steady provider of support and comfort to a number of pharmaceutical firms based on the types and amount of medicine I buy on a monthly basis. In fact, back when I was still working in a bank, many of our account officers each tried hard to get the pharmaceutical laboratories assigned to them as their portfolio of choice, given that these companies were relatively profitable and provided the bank with very good yields.

Somewhere in between, I began to read about “the other side of the fence,” of homeopathic remedies and other herbal and natural cures. Many years back, I asked the father-in-law of my brother, Dr. Conrado Dayrit (the expert pharmacologist and prime mover behind the healing qualities of virgin coconut oil), about his thoughts on herbal cures.

At that time, he told me that most modern medicines had undergone extensive research and had probably managed to isolate the singular curative qualities that one would expect to find in a parallel herbal cure, with more surety on the minimization of side effects. Much later, toward the end of his career, Dr. Dayrit’s pioneering work with VCO probably caused him to change his mind about the efficacy of herbal cures. This is probably the reason, over the past few decades or so, a major groundswell has arisen in terms of the number of “natural and herbal” products available in the market, many of them sold over-the-counter in drugstore chains and in specialized herbal and natural stores.



Psyllium or Ispaghula

In fact, I confess a particular dependence on certain products like Psyllium husk—which many of us first encountered when a pioneering marketer named Bert Garcia, a classmate of mine from grade school days, by the way, first mass-marketed the product under the trademark C-Lium—that help tremendously in the efficient movement of human waste. I further confess to a predilection to vitamins in various forms, hoping that these will provide me with additional help as they hopefully do for countless others who subscribe to the mantra of better health through more organic means.

In a previous column, I championed the cause of the Ashitaba plant, which was first recorded in Ming dynasty charts for its curative properties, and then surfaced in Japan from where it has begun to spread all over the world. Unfortunately, my doctors—all three of them, including a cardiologist, a nephrologist and an expert of diabetes—frown when I bring up the subject and tell them of what natural medicines I have ingested of late. They especially frown on herbal medicines from China, a country that has long pioneered the use of natural ingredients for the curing of various ailments. On the other hand, there have been many reports, too, of serious side effects resulting from the ingestion of some of these so-called herbal cures.

So, what to do? I hope that my lab-report figures improve so that I can sneak in an Ashitaba leaf or two, especially since I have seen a dramatic decrease in my cholesterol and other indicators ever since I started taking the leaf. And I hope one day to try more of my friend Bert Garcia’s new products.



Angelica sinensis - Ashitaba

One of them that can make a doctor smile is a mouthwash he calls Gargol, which actually does more than clean one’s breath, because it also heals canker sores and other irritating things that one’s mouth can probably come up with. My wife also swears by his Cran-UTI product that is supposed to help get rid of “you know what.” He has sold off his C-Lium brand to a big local Filipino-owned laboratory, though. Meanwhile, I have resorted to visiting the many generic stores that have begun to spring up all over the country to buy medicines that come out about 50-percent cheaper than their branded counterparts. So far, so good, if one must base results on my daily blood-pressure readings and the thrice-weekly blood-sugar tests that I conduct at home.

Maybe what this country needs is a real honest to goodness testing lab that can certify natural and herbal products so that the average consumer can buy what he wants or needs without fear, and be able to face his or her doctors’ frowning faces.

Psyllium or Ispaghula is the common name used for several members of the plant genus Plantago whose seeds are used commercially for the production of mucilage. Psyllium seed husks also known as ispaghula, isabgol, or simply as psyllium, are portions of the seeds of the plant Plantago ovata, (genus Plantago), a native of India and Pakistan. They are soluble in water, expanding and becoming mucilaginous when wet.

Psyllium seed husks are indigestible in human beings and are often used as a source of dietary fiber. They are used to relieve constipation, irritable bowel syndrome, diverticular disease, and diarrhea. They are also used as a regular dietary supplement to improve and maintain regular GI transit. The inert bulk of the husks helps provide a constant volume of solid material irrespective of other aspects of the diet or any disease condition of the gut. Some recent research is also showing them to be promising in lowering cholesterol and controlling diabetes.

Angelica sinensis - Ashitaba is a plant which originates from japan where it i known as 'tomorrow leaf' or Angelica Keiskei Koidzumi. In Indonesia, it is called Ashitaba. On the Japanese Hachi Jo island the plant is mainly consumed as a food supplement by old people who, according to reliable statistic, are rather healthy and enjoy long living.

That is the reason why researchers became interested in this plant. They found out that its stem have a thick yellow juice containing Chalcones, which is unique to this strain of angelica plant. Angelica sinensis, commonly known as "dong quai" or "female ginseng" is a herb from the family Apiaceae, indigenous to China.

In the Philippines, Conrado S. Dayrit, his sons, Fabian Dayrit and Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit, inter alia, pioneered in the production of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO). Their patented product sells for P 200 (330 ml., that is 170 mls. less than ½ liter). ** Conrado Dayrit, United Laboratories, Inc. 2004 data:

PROSOURCE sells its 250 ml. (¼ liter) at P 120 at Mercury Drug outlets. CARICA (SM City/other outlets; fermentation process) sells its VCO at P 250, 600 ml. BIOTECH, Los Baños, Laguna, through Dir. Teresita Espino/ Fides (Richard) Tumbala sells its 200 ml. for P 60. They said that the production cost is: 17 coconuts (P 12 x 17 = P 200) produce 1 liter (1,000 ml.). Hence, the cost of its 200 ml. = P 41; the mark-up therefore is P 19.

Coconut Healing Oil

Once mistakenly thought to be bad because of its saturated fat content, coconut oil is now known to contain a unique form of saturated fat that actually prevent heart disease, stroke, and hardening of the arteries. The saturated fat in coconut oil is unlike the fat found in meat or other vegetable fats.

It is identical to a special group of fats found in human breast milk which have been shown to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and protect against bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. These fats, derived from coconut oil, are now routinely used in hospital IV formulations and commercial baby formulas. They're also used in sports drinks to boost energy and enhance athletic performance.



Saturated fat is fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acid radicals. There are several kinds of naturally occurring saturated fatty acids, which differ by the number of carbon atoms, ranging from 3 carbons (Propionic Acid) to 36 (Hexatriacontanoic acid). Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain and are thus fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.

Fat that occurs naturally in living matter contains varying proportions of saturated and unsaturated fat. Examples of foods containing a high proportion of saturated fat include dairy products (especially cream and cheese but also butter and ghee), animal fats such as suet, tallow, lard and fatty meat, coconut oil, cottonseed oil, palm kernel oil, chocolate, and some prepared foods. Serum saturated fatty acid is generally higher in smokers, alcohol drinkers and obese people.[2]

Virgin coconut oil

I was somewhat amazed by the pioneer research of the ITDI, DOST per Engr. Q. Montevirgen on the medical and other uses of one of the country’s most abundant fruit: coconut. Its therapeutic (medical) potency has just begun to shock not only the business and paranormal community, but it makes waves within the DOH itself when the much-feared SARS disease created havoc last year. Zac B. Sarian’s AGRI-TALK focuses on Engr. Q. Montevirgen’s (ITDI, DOST Team Leader in the virgin coconut oil research since 1990) study and claim that “virgin coconut oil contains MCT which boosts the immune system when ingested (drank)”.



Virgin Coconut Oil by Wet Process, ITDI-DOST

http://www.osist.dost.gov.ph/technologies/abstractdetails/242/15

The article discussed that unlike ordinary cooking (coconut) oil, the virgin coconut oil made from the fresh-dry process, retains all the nutrients and vitamins, unlike in the bleached and chemically treated ordinary oil which totally lost the valuable contents during the high heat process under very high temperature. The cost of productions of the virgin coconut oil is P 220 - $ 20 per liter. Health Secretary, Hon. Manuel Dayrit also publicized his claim that coconut oil may in due time be the answer/cure for SARS’s disease.

The article however failed to touch on two important points: a) the scientific research finding on the components of the virgin oil that allegedly boosts the immune system and b) the testimonies on the medical potency of the product. Considering the 13 years research plus the costly production thereof in the view of the process, the article’s claim should have specified the ITDI’s scientific findings based on testimonies of the wonders of the new product which makes it totally different from cooking oil and other Chinese/foreign medical oils (like eucalyptus, camphor, menthol, etc.).

"2 mata" (Judge Floro’s) 99.9% coconut healing oil

At this juncture, let me succinctly explain the essential difference between the extra virgin coconut oil (above-discussed), which uses the ordinary 3 MATA coconuts, from the 2 MATA coconut HEALING/MEDICINAL OIL extracted by undersigned.

NOTE that in one hectare of coconut plantation, about 7,000 mature coconuts (more or less) can be harvested and barely 2-3 of the 7,000 fruits are 2 MATA.

NOTE further, that in a typical coconut store, about 1,000 mature coconuts (niyog) are delivered weekly, and according to most dealers interviewed by undersigned (Bulacan, where the “niyog” came from Laguna, Marinduque, Bicol region, etc.), only 2 (or even none oftentimes) “2 MATA” coconuts can be retrieved from the weekly delivery. Two dealers interviewed (BULACAN and Muñoz, Quezon City) testified that in one month typical delivery, only 2-3 (maximum) “2 MATA” coconuts can be found, this is roughly 2-3 of about 7,000 coconuts.



6,980 3 eyes or ordinary coconut fruits are harvested in one hectare of coconut plantation, while only about 2 pieces of the 7,000 are rarest "2 mata" or "2 eyes" fresh mature coconuts

The Physical Difference between the 3 MATA & 2 MATA:

The coconut (water) juice of the 2 “MATA” coconut fruits is only about 20% of the 3 MATA coconuts; when processed to extract the oil, the 2 “MATA” oil is yellowish and has less AROMA than the reddish and very aromatic “3 MATA” oil.

The processing of the "2 mata" coconut healing oil:

My 64 years old house helper (who underwent one month seminar o herbal preparations at Davao City, sponsored by the nuns, according to her) cooked separately the “2 MATA” & 3 MATA fresh/mature coconuts in a procedure instructed by undersigned, thus:

a) ODD and not even numbers of mature but fresh coconuts wee used; 35 “2 MATA” coconuts and 85 “3MATA” coconuts were cooked in small and large cauldron, respectively.

b) the cost of “2 MATA” is P 80 – P 100 per piece and from April to July 4, 2003, only 35 “2 MATA” were collected, despite best efforts, in view of the rarity thereof; while the 3 MATA ordinary coconut costs only P 14 per piece (which includes the P 4 grating fee);



c) the coconuts were separately grated by machine and the freshly grated meats were separately processed by hand to extract the MILK juice (“kakang gata”, by mixing the grated meats with hot water; only one and not twice extraction was done);

d) the “kakang gata” were both cooked at 12:00 noon, FIRST FRIDAY, July 4, 2003, covering the time to 3:00 p.m;

e) the most important part of the cooking is the method: only one direction of “halo” with perfect silence, and no onlookers (for this will affect the amount of oil to be extracted); and the SINE QUA NON of the cooking is the exact moment of the “LATIK” turns very red, and the cauldron is taken from the FIRE (“ININ”) so that the ”LATIK” would turn very hard black, which results in the total extraction of the essence of the “LATIK” into the OIL, which turns to very red color, and very aromatic; (note that the elements of the FIRE must include few charcoals, few coconut husks and more importantly dry wood);



f) the oils are separately cooled and put into a sterilized bottle (preferably a 1.5 or 4 liters Carlo Rossi wine bottle, fully dried in the sun to sanitize the same after having been boiled); and

g) the finished 2 products are then OFFERED to the GABAYS with food offerings (this is the traditional way of the old folks in the preparation of the oil) until 12 midnight and then covered; but daily, the oil’s bottle is kept open for about 5 minutes (offered) before the “POONS” (blessed images of the Lord and the cross). Finally, the oil is put into export quality plastic bottles (ALPHATECH, Panginay, Balagtas, Bulacan, 50-100 ml. bottles, P 4 – P 8 each). VERY IMPORTANT, is the use of distilled/clean GLASS to which the finished very hot oil product is put into.

The total amount of oil produced is: a) 1.2 liters (“2 mata” 35 coconuts) and b) 4.0 liters (3 MATA, 85 coconuts), respectively. Hence, the total production costs are: a) P 4,000 ($ 80)/1.0 liter and b) P 1,000/4 liters, respectively.

The exceptional medical - therapeutic potency

Since June 3, 1999 when I was endowed with the GIFT of SPIRITUAL HEALING, I was especially privileged to have touché more than 10,000 patients (from the entire country). Many testified both in media (CHS. 2 & 9, “MAGANDANG GABI BAYAN”, “KASANGGA MO ANG LANGIT:, ETC.) and in the Supreme Court (this administrative case) on the positive results of my healing and the 3 MATA HEALING OIL I used.

However, it was only on March 14, 2003 that I discovered the “2 mata” at Lingayen, Pangasinan. I was able to have cooked only one piece last Good Friday, but since then, I collected foregoing 35 “2 mata” coconuts.



Judge Floro's coconut healing oil is the world's only proven medicine for arthritis and other illnesses, and it has no side effect

Arthritis, Rheumatism, Gout, Emphysema, Asthma, Flu, Pneumonia, Influenza, Migraine, dry and prolonged cough, DIABETES, HYPERTENSION, KIDNEY, LIVER complications, goiter, thyroid, throat complications, myoma, irregular and painful menstruation, back pains, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, spinal pains/disorders, knee and ankle/foot pains, muscle pains, cramps, in short: 15% of the curable diseases of the medical dictionary can respond very positively with the USE, application and PROPER INGESTION (DRINKING OF) the “2 mata” medicinal oil.

The incurable arthritis: (since ultra sound, paraffin and heat therapy, including banned steroids cannot cure but only alleviate the pains [“calmante”] temporarily, and the medicines have side effects, like ulcer) --- When the oil is applied, it takes about 5 minutes to cease the pain. The incurable ECZEMA (skin disease) had been 70% successfully treated by the oil. The sever attack of MIGRAINE had been stopped for about 5 minutes by the oil according to most patients, when ordinary medication would take about 4 hours.


The sole healing Judge in the planet, Judge Floro is the same Angel of Death, the Annihilator

A last word. Judge FLORO is not a faith healer. He does not believe in FAITH as method of healing. Healing to be complete must be medically (scientific) and rationale. The spiritual aspect of his healing with the “2 MATA” oil is complementary with orthodox medicine, except in cases where medicine fails. This AREA is the sole jurisdiction of the “2 MATA” 99.9% coconut oil. This oil may be the Fountain of Youth (of Ponce de Leon) the water/ELIXIR of life. Not only medically proven, it has cosmetic potency.

1. Select only fresh and mature quality coconuts.

2. Split coconuts and collect coconut water.

3. Grate coconuts and collect coconut meat.

4. Bag the coconut meat. Use white nylon mesh bag.

5. Place bag in a Cold Press* machine. At home, you can hand press using gloves. Collect coconut milk.

6. Soak the pressed bag in coconut water and press for a second time. Collect more coconut milk.

7. Allow the coconut milk to settle undisturbed in a cabinet at 32degC for 10-17 hours. Coconut oil will naturally separate from water and proteins.

8. Carefully collect and filter the oil and avoid mixing with the bottom water layer. The oil is colorless.

The Chief Justice Artemio V. Panganiban Court created a jobless Judge Floro due to pretend world

To support his early studies at Juan Luna Elementary School and Mapa High School, which are both public schools, Artemio V. Panganiban hawked newspapers, peddled cigarettes and shined shoes in the streets of Sampaloc in Manila. During his college days, he sold textbooks to his classmates, and bibles to his professors and university officials. The youngest of four children, he was born of impoverished parents who died while he was still in school.

He is married to Elenita C. Panganiban, professor and former associate dean of the Asian Institute of Management, with whom he has five children who all hold graduate degrees from pedigreed US universities, including Harvard, Stanford, University of California, University of Chicago, University of Michigan and Boston University.

Self-cherishing, psychosis & other oddities

IN LIFE, we encounter a lot of oddities and beg for the sublime task to render the same into linguistic idioms. If we say that he is an “odd man out,” the interpretation is as varied as the hues of the rainbow jealously misted by the dark nimbus cloud. No less than “The Wall Street Journal,” in its September 17, 2007 issue and bylined by James Hookway, featured the dismissed judge who claimed in an interview that: “It shouldn’t matter what I believed in, whether it’s Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand, and Angel.”

What the former judge said is equivalent to “self-cherishing” as the fundamental concept of the Buddhist’s philosophy on “how to enhance cherishing love.” In writing the verdict dismissing the judge, considering him as suffering from psychosis largely because of his belief in the supernatural, Associate Justice Minita Chico-Nazario said he has “his broad faith in mysticism and supernatural phenomena.” “Lest we be misconstrued, we do not denigrate such a belief system...However, such beliefs, especially since Judge Floro acted on them, are at odds with the critical and impartial thinking required of a judge under our judicial system.”

“With Due Respect”: Filipino Dwarf Jurist Retains the Legal Title of Philippine “Judge” Until Eternity

LUIS, Armand and Angel’s Pet Human Retains “Judge” Title under Philippine and International Laws

Philippine Chief Justice Artemio V. Panganiban succinctly wrote a legal opinion on the proper use of titles of jurists:
WITH DUE RESPECT
How to address Filipino magistrates

By Artemio V. Panganiban, Inquirer, 06/10/2007

MANILA, Philippines—To help celebrate the 106th birthday of the Supreme Court tomorrow, let me write on the etiquette of how to address magistrates. While presiding in their courtrooms, magistrates of whatever rank are addressed formally as “Your Honor” and, when referring to them in the third person, as “His (or Her) Honor.” In areas that follow British traditions, they are addressed formally as “Your Lordship.”

Addressing justices and judges. Many countries do not make distinctions. Regardless of their rank in the judicial totem pole, jurists are invariably called “judges.” However, in our country, there is a marked distinction between “justices” and “judges.” Presiders of lower courts, namely, regional trial courts, metropolitan trial courts, municipal trial courts and shariah courts are given the title of “Judge.”

However, members of appellate courts, namely, the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, Sandiganbayan and Court of Tax Appeals, are properly addressed as “Justice,” or more formally as “Mr. (or Madame) Justice.” Appellate magistrates are often offended when they are called “Judge.” It is equivalent to calling a general, “Colonel.”

Members of the Supreme Court are sometimes referred to as “associate justices.” In fact, in Supreme Court decisions, they sign above their printed names, under which is printed the appellation “Associate Justice.” This practice is derived from the constitutional provision (Article VIII, Sec. 4) stating that the “Supreme Court shall be composed of a Chief Justice and fourteen Associate Justices.”

Be that as it may, I think that, unless necessitated by the context of the situation, the word “associate” should be dropped. I remember in one trip abroad, three members of our Supreme Court were introduced as “associate justices” and the host was heard to complain, “Why did the Philippines not send full-fledged members of their highest court when they confer with us?”

In some countries, Supreme Court members have different ranks: research justices, assisting justices, associate justices and (full) justices. Even in our country, associate justices are often misunderstood and likened to associate professors or, worse, associates in a law firm. So, it is better to say “Justice (or Mr. Justice) Adolfo S. Azcuna,” rather than “Mr. Associate Justice Azcuna.”

Addressing the Chief Justice. By the same token, the head of the Philippine judiciary is called “Chief Justice.” So, it is inappropriate to say Justice Reynato S. Puno. Appropriately, he should be addressed as Chief Justice (or Mr. Chief Justice) Puno. In intimate conversations, he is fondly called “Chief.” That is how members of the Court and his close friends call him, never by his first name only.

Retired members of our Supreme Court are never addressed as “ex-justice” or, worse, “ex judge.” In fact, it is inadvisable to call them “former” or “past” justice. The proper and accepted way is “retired Justice,” as in retired Justice Jose A. R. Melo, not former Justice Melo or ex-Justice Melo. The maxim is: once a justice, always a justice.

Judicial titles are similar to “Attorney,” which is granted to people who pass the bar exams. The appellation stays with the grantee even after retirement from the active practice of law.

And regardless of any new job or occupation they may occupy after retirement, they carry their appellations up to their grave. Exception: the titles of Attorney, Judge and Justice can no longer be used by those who had been disbarred, or fired from the judiciary.

Never say ex. Per the foregoing etiquette, never say “ex-Chief Justice Andres R. Narvasa.” That is judicial sacrilege. It may imply that he had been fired! Say, “retired Chief Justice” or simply “Chief Justice Narvasa.” In letters or other printed matter, he can be addressed as “Chief Justice Andres R. Narvasa (ret.).” Also, do not simply call him “Justice.” There are thousands of justices, incumbent and retired, in our country. But there are only 22 chief justices, 21 retired and one incumbent, in the history of the Philippines.

The Supreme Court is quite strict with the use of the titles “Justice” and “Judge.” In three formal en banc resolutions (See JBC No. 001, Re: JBC Emoluments, July 9, 1996), it has banned the use of these titles by officials outside the judiciary; and even by judicial officials who do not decide justiciable controversies.

In short, these titles may be used only by those who adjudicate cases in the four rungs of the judicial hierarchy. Even those given by law the ranks of judges and justices cannot use those titles, unless prior to their appointment to these equivalent positions, they have already earned those appellations in the judicial hierarchy. Consequently, it is improper for the solicitor general or the government corporate counsel or other similarly situated officials to allow themselves to be called “Justice,” unless priorly authorized to do so by an earlier appointment to the judiciary. Example: Alfredo L. Benipayo used the title “Justice” during his term as court administrator, Comelec chair and solicitor general because, earlier, he was a Court of Appeals member.

Judge Floro and the 3 mystic dwarves do not have graves: they are IMMORTAL

The Dwarves and Floro were never fired nor dismissed / disbarred, under the Judgment

The pet human Florentino V.

# Trial judge Florentino Floro was fired by the Philippines supreme court in April, and his appeal rejected in August, after investigators found that he had claimed to rely on three mystic dwarves (Armand, Luis and Angel) for psychic powers and the ability to write while in a trance. (Floro protested media accounts of his firing to The Wall Street Journal in July, denying that dwarves helped him decide cases and writing that Armand, Luis and Angel are merely "spirit guides" and that he himself is "gifted" from God "to heal and to prophesy.")

Florentino and the Mystic Dwarves

No it’s not a concept album from some weird prog rock group from the 1970s. Florentino Floro is a Filipino trial Judge based in Manila.
The mystic dwarves are Armand, Luis and Angel, and they are alleged to have helped carry out healing sessions in Florentino’s chambers during breaks in the judge’s schedule.

Floro lost his appeal to keep his job as a judge, with the Supreme Court of the Philipppines ruling that dalliance with dwarves would erode the public’s esteem of the judiciary and make it an object of ridicule.
Floro claims he is the victim of injustice and is the patsy in this dwarf conspiracy. He has a six part video on youtube.com purporting to be the true story.

Church and state and elves

The Supreme Court of the Philippines fired trial court Judge Florentino Floro, who says he regularly consults with three invisible elves, after determining that Floro suffers from psychosis. A year later, Floro is a national celebrity and Supreme Court members and their families are reportedly becoming seriously ill and getting in car accidents. And a number of Filipinos apparently agree with Floro that his relationship with the elves -- Angel, Armand, and Luis -- has no bearing on his work. "It shouldn't matter what I believe in, whether it's Jesus, Muhammad, or Luis, Armand, and Angel," Floro says. (The Wall Street Journal)

Carving Out Their Own Niche

The letter L! ong before Magic ever saw the light of day, such masters as J.R.R. Tolkein, Gary Gygax and Walt Disney defined many of the basic principles of what exactly it means to be a dwarf. Short? Check. Like digging underground? Check? Good at building armor? Check. The interesting question (for a column on Magic at least) is what has Magic: the Gathering added to the mythos of dwarves. Here are some of the juicy tidbits.
* Dwarves (along with monkeys) have an unnatural hatred for non-basic land.
* Dwarves really enjoy blowing stuff up.
* Dwarves have some anger issues.
* The Mohawk is a viable dwarf haircut.
* Dwarves are willing to say the word "butt".
* Dwarves have some odd hold over barbarians and minions.
* Dwarves have ponies.
* Dwarves will make armor out of children's toys.
* Dwarves apparently like rutabagas.
* Dwarven warriors and nomads tend to perform the same functions.
* Dwarves perfected the "blaze of glory" (whatever that means).
* The dwarves have vigilantes, bomb squads, strike forces, thaumaturgists and sea clans.
* Let's just say the dwarven men need not have any fear that anyone's moving in on their women.
* They can kick the Goblins of the Flarg's butts (remember, dwarves can say "butt").

Missed Opportunity...

Via Cosmic Variance and the BBC, we learn that noted legal scholar Florentino Floro has lost his appeal and is now officially removed from the Filipino bench. I note this partially because it's fun to laugh at the idea of a judge consulting three mystic dwarves to help him perform psychic healings during downtime in the courtroom.

It's also amusing that the BBC felt that they needed to add the word "imaginary" to the phrase "mystic dwarves", just to make things clear. However, I think the real victim in this case might the intelligent design folks. An en banc hearing with Floro, Armand, Luis and Angel could have given them the legal victory that they've been denied so far here in the States.

The Filipino Judge and the Three Dwarves

Written by opentheword.org
Wednesday, 27 September 2006

Judge fails in his appeal to be reappointed to judiciary. The Filipinno Supreme Courts rules that the judge would not be free to return to the bench due to his obsession with the paranormal. The dismissal of Florentino Floro -- who worked as judge in Manilla, Philippines -- was upheld by that country’s supreme court in September 2006 because of his obsession with the “paranormal and psychic phenomena.”
Floro claimed to be a pychic and consulted with “duwendes” -- mystical dwarves. He was in constant contact with three in particular: Armand, Angel and Luis who was also known as the king of kings.

Man dies after 'offending' hostile ansisit (dwarves

BONTOC, Mt. Province -- Unfriendly ansisit (dwarves) felt offended when a man burned a colony of black ants under a Balite tree allegedly inhabited by them. Shortly after the burning, the man met a tragic death. Native Igorots, who believed in the existence and power of ansisit, concluded it was a form of retaliation by the invisible creatures.



This unusual demise of a villager involving ansisit belonging to the unseen world was confirmed by video-cameraman Edward Sacgaca of the Philippine Information Agency and a native of Gonogon, Bontoc, Mt. Province, where the incident happened late March this year. Incidentally, Sacgaca was the one who hired the man to continue the stonewalling of his farmland at Sitio Palinga-aw where the Balite tree was located.

He declined to identify the hired laborer as it involves evil spirits.
Nobody knows that the Balite tree inside the farmland of Sacgaca is the abode of hostile ansisit. Sacgaca reported that on the day his hired laborer failed to go to work in his farmland, the latter spent the whole day drinking with his friends. Late in the afternoon while on his way home, he fell at the end of the footbridge across the Chico River and broke his neck.

Two villagers saw the cadaver of the victim sprawled under the footbridge the following day. According to the wife of the victim, the tragedy that befell her family did not come as a surprise as she already had a premonition. Before the tragedy, the victim reportedly told his wife that he felt guilty after burning the colony of black ants under the Balite tree where he was working.

He said that in his dream, he saw a group of ansisit fuming and confronting him as to why he burned their dwelling. Because of the smoke and destruction of the colony of black ants, he saw the displaced ansisit transferring their belongings to a vacant hut nearby. Terrified, he did not go back for work, but joined his friends drinking.



Old folks said that had the victim and his wife not withheld the information, they could have advised the couple to perform an Igorot ritual called sumang, which is a last resort to appease the infuriated ansisit. Sumang has been proven by many native Igorots as an effective antidote to counteract any form of curse that may be inflicted by offended evil spirits. Ben Moga

The Legality Of Going To Dwarf

Dwende

It all started when I was just about seven years old. My aunt and uncle came from the province to visit us. I didn't like them. They were very strict. Also, they were very superstitious people. One night, I saw my uncle walking towards our backyard, holding a lightened candle. I thought this was odd; there was no electrical blackout. I followed him, and watched as he knelt before the old jackfruit tree and placed the candle among its roots. I laughed.



My uncle saw me and gestured for me to be silent. Then suddenly, tiny lights began to glow all over our backyard, dancing and twinkling in a merry carnival. I watched, fascinated, as a miniature procession of lights passed in front of me. Then there was a tiny ferris-wheel of lights turning round and round beneath the tree. It took me a second or so before realizing that I was at that very moment in the company of the "dwende," the elves.

Now, many years later, I have often wondered if that memory was that- a memory or just an illusion fabricated by my youthful mind. Nevertheless, that moment changed my life.

Elves, or dwendes (as they were commonly called in the Philippines), are divided into two kinds. There is the "puting dwende" (white elf), who were good beings and quite harmless.

You could play with them and make them your friends. Then there is the "itim na dwende" (black elf), which you should fiercely avoid. Itim na dwendes are evil creatures who delight in tormenting those poor hapless human beings who had, unfortunately, trespassed their homes. Homes include fruit trees, grassy plains, gardens, and termite mounds (among all others).

Once you had violated their territory, you'll develop an illness, which is incurable by modern medicine. Symptoms include severe stomach aches, high fever, strings of diseases, sudden coughs, sever migraine, etc The only cure is to seek the help of an albularyo (medicine man or shaman). A healing rite starts with identification. The albularyo tries to identify the source of the hex. He drops molten wax into a bowl of water and prays over it. The shape or face of the enchanter then appears through the wax.

This is called "pagtatawas." Then, using incantations, incenses and herbs, he/she then cures the hexed one. After the ceremony, the albularyo then places an offering (usually food) beneath the tree where the elf resides.

Flame

Many children claim to have been befriended by white elves. Some could even be seen talking with them. Some say they were just about his/her size, some say they were a lot smaller, like a finger. Many girls had been courted by elves.

It is a wise thing to refuse them, for if you agreed to marry an elf, you'll live in his world forever and never come back. Some elves bring good luck to a family. Some elves curse them.

Believe what you may, but they had been and always shall be an everyday part of the Filipino lifestyle. No kidding.

In Philippine folklore, the dwende are little spirits, usually helpful and friendly, but when offended they can cause sickness and even death. They live in houses and occupy themselves by singing, making noise, and throwing sand and pebbles. They sometimes knock over kitchen utensils.

Appearance:



Dwende average 3" in height, or about the size of a finger, and look like dried up little old men (there are no female Dwende). They generally sit hunched up and barefoot, and have knobby joints and white beards. Their eyesight is poor due to a large part of their lives being spent either underground or aboveground after sunset, but they have very good hearing and speak quite clearly in a whistling voice. Dwende wear little save a blue or purple loincloth and a basket hat. These baskets they either weave from grass or make with fruit peelings.

Lifestyle:

Dwende live in small groups in caves beneath the ground. They like to live near friendly humans and often make their homes in fruit trees or back gardens. Above ground, their homes look much like termite mounds, but are generally of stone construction inside. The Dwende spend much of their time caring for their houses, which they are quite proud of, and sitting deep in thought. They are also skilled potters and have a habit of singing as they work.

Their amusements involve many games employing pebble balls, as well as climbing trees at night to stare at the stars. Dwende are very thoughtful creatures and most of their magic goes on below ground, in explorations of the pits of the earth. However, they will also make use of minor curses if their homes are threatened, though they need not do too much damage as they can always retreat deeper under the ground.

Human Interaction:

The Dwende enjoy living with human company nearby - as long as the humans are respectful of their homes. They particularly single out children, whom they play small tricks on or games with, and pretty girls, whom the Dwende enjoy flattering and whistling at. While the size difference and the Dwende's nocturnal rather solitary habits prevent a terribly close bond from growing between them and humans, they do make good neighbors. If humans are on favorable terms with the nearby Dwende, they can often borrow some of the Dwende's beautiful china dishes, which bless any meal.



“At a young age, I think I saw ‘dwarves’ and a beautiful ‘geisha’ in a rice field. They were waving at me to go to them. As a 7-year-old girl, I didn’t have any idea about dwarves or geishas until I got older. I asked my grandmother what I saw, but she told me to just ignore them. Are they real?”

Many people have seen dwarves or elementals not only here in the Philippines but all over the world. In other countries, they are called by various names such as “brownies,” “leprechauns,” “elves.”

There are many different types and forms of elementals, corresponding to the elements of earth, water, air and fire. Dwarves belong to the element of earth, undines and sirens to the element of water, sylphs and fairies to the element of air, and salamanders to the element of fire. This classification of elementals or nature spirits was first made by the 15th-century Swiss physician and alchemist Paracelsus.
