Immunity
Hi,
Seeking a touch of immunity ?
There is a placard sign which is planted about here and there, meant to catch the eyes of motorists especially. On first glance it appears like SOLD TEAK, but there is an I making the words SOLID TEAK. Owners of old furniture know what teak is. It is now so expensive that solid teak wood furniture is very rarely seen. Teak is known for its exceptional quality and suitability for furniture making, durability in open weather and immunity to pests like termites and other insects. Teak lasts, and its immunity to pests is one great expensive factor.
In the market certain types of fish seem to be immune to rot. Fish like threadfin or kurau are usually left about in a corner by the fishmonger, without ice and care, and yet they do not rot by the end of the day. This fish is not very tasty, and despite it being one on the most expensive fish, it is usually served by mothers to babies, and also to family members who were recovering from illness. Mothers are known to know what others do not. Is the Immunity factor at play here ? The king mackerel or batang , the dorab or parang, and the pomfret are three other fish which can withstand little care without spoiling quickly. This may explain why they are favouritely used in fish porridge or in the raw fishdish, yisheng, during Chinese New Year.
Most fruits are very susceptible to pests, particularly the fruit fly, but the chiku is one fruit which seems immune to them. Some people do not like chiku because it has a kind of latex-like gum which sticks to their denture; but it has a quality unlike most other fruits, a sandy feel but sweet and pleasant, leaving a good feeling on the tongue. Its being immune to pests must mean something. A kilogram of this from Vietnam or Thailand costs about four dollars when it was initially brought in.
Humans will last too if we also have all round immunity. So, will eating things which are immune to spoiling help us to resist illness and be more durable and lasting ?
Have a nice day,
Ronald
