Methods were discovered for keeping water pure and safe. Septic tank, cesspool (tengki septic, jamban) and other equipment for take care of waste were placed so they couldn’t possibly drain into (mengalir kedalam) water in the supplies. But germs (kuman, basil) still go into the water in the ways. Today water is treated in various ways to kill any germs that might be in it. Usually this is done with a chemical called chlorine (klor). Only small amounts of chlorine are used, but sometimes its odor (bau) can be detected when water is run from the faucet (keran).
In places where water is treated and purified (dimurnikan, dibersihkan), typhoid fever (demam tipus) and other diseases spread by water have almost disappeared. When there are floods, the water purifying system may be overloaded (kelebihan muatan) and become ineffective. When this happened, people are usually told to boil water before drinking it, to make sure that all germs are killed..
In some parts of the world the water is not purified and can’t be trusted. Soldiers serving in such places use special chemicals to purify small amounts of water for drinking. Designing and constructing safe water supplies is an important job of scientists who are trying to improve health conditions in under developed countries

There are a lot of entrepreneurs (pengusaha, usahawan) who have been successful in Indonesia.

These days, people spend a great deal of time on their health and fitness. Exercises, nutrition and an emphasis on general wellness are important to people not only for medical reasons, but for social one as well. Everyone wants to feel and look their best. Unfortunately, people around the world suffer from a condition that cannot be cured at a health club, spa (pemandian air panas) or even a hospital, chronic bad breath.
It is estimated that over 80 million people worldwide suffer from bad breath or halitosis In the past, treatment has consisted of masking) the odor (bau busuk) with mouthwash or mint flooding with alcohol based rinses or the latest craze , popping pills that claim to cure the problem in the stomach. None of these treatments work, because halitosis is caused by bacteria on the back of the tongue and upper throat that produce sulfurous gases. The way to stop bad breath is stop this process.
Because halitosis originates in the mouth, it is virtually undetectable by your own sense of smell. You may notice a bitter, sour taste in your mouth or a whitish coating on the back of your tongue, but you generally find out there is a problem when a family member, friend or co worker brings it to your attention. At that point, you need an effective, long lasting and easy to use method of eliminating the problem. Without proper treatment, chronic bad breath can lead to a loss confidence and self esteem and it can even result in depression. The problem can adversely affect your marriage, social life, career and relationship with family members. What is needed is a quick and effective treatment that works naturally with no side effect.
As a dentist with a degree in bacteriology, Dr. Katz has been keenly (dg secara teliti/tajam) aware of the widespread nature of this problem. It was not until his daughter came to him about her halitosis, however, that he began to research the problem in earnest His studies led him to an amazing discovery about the source of bad breath. It does not originate in the digestive system, and the food you eat has no direct effect on your breath.
Certain food, however, contribute to the production of sulfurous gases in the back of the mouth. Acids in coffee and protein in dairy products exacerbate [make (something bad) worse] the problem. Mints and mouthwashes intended to mask or prevent bad breath actually worsen the condition because sugar and alcohol dries out the mouth. Many common medications for everything from high blood pressure to depression have the same drying effect, resulting in the formation of odorous gases. Mucous from postnasal drip contains dense protein that are full of sulfur. Some treatments for halitosis contain sodium Lauryl sulfate, which can cause canker sores. The only effective means of eliminating the sulfur gas production is to introduce oxygen to the bacteria, causing them to produce tasteless, odorless sulfates.

The threat (ancaman) to our health from environmental poisons and specifically heavy metals, is increasing everyday. Lead (timah), mercury (air raksa, derajat, suhu), cadmium, arsenic (warangan, berangan) and copper (tembaga) poisoning are becoming epidemic (wabah). Lead and mercury come mostly from polluted air plus industrial and medical used, such as lead containing paint and mercury containing amalgam (campuran) dental filling. Contaminated fish are also a common source of mercury poisoning. Copper enters our bodies usually from copper water pipes, commonly used in plumbing. Heavy metal poisoning is difficult to treat.
Chelating treatment is the only known medical treatment that is effective in detoxifying the body of heavy metal. Now, the Japanese study conducted (dipimpin) by Dr Ikezoe and Kitahara, shows that Kyolic, is a raw garlic extract developed in Japan, is effective in protecting the body from the toxic effects of heavy metal poisoning. Dr. Kitahara and his co workers, Ikezoe and Yamada, conducted controlled studies on animal (rabbits) and human. The method of study was observation of release (pelepasan, pembebasan, penyiaran) of potassium (kalium) and hemoglobin by heavy metals from erythrocyte, and destruction of the erythrocyte membrane. (selaput). The conclusion of the study was that garlic preparation preventing the poisoning effect arising from heavy metals and protected the erythrocyte membrane from destruction.
In another study, conducted in Russia, a drug made from garlic extract was given to workers in industrial plant who suffering from chronic lead poisoning. The daily doses of garlic improve the symptoms (gejala) of chronic lead poisoning and lowered the high potphytin levels in the urine. The preparation also normalized the elevated (mengangkat, meninggikan, menaikan) blood pressure in the majority of workers. Russian researchers believe that the efficacy (kemanjuran, kemujaraban) of garlic preparation is due to garlic’s high content sulfur compounds.
