WHAT YOU NEED TO CONQUER INORDER TO SUCCEED IN LIFE IS FEAR

WHAT YOU NEED TO CONQUER INORDER TO SUCCEED IN LIFE IS FEAR
"GO forth to meet the shadowy future and with a manly heart "
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself"'
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Former United states President)
Children are usually afraid of the Dark. They imagine and see all those scary images in their midday cartoons and horror films in their wardrobes, chairs and window blinds  and rush out of their rooms for their 'super' mum and dad to come to their rescue, lead them back to bed and assure them that everything is alright before they are right assured to go back to sleep. As a child, I suffered such similar fate until I personified and boldly stared at fear in the face and declared "You will scare me no more". Since then till date, I sleep in the dark without any atom of fear in me and I do enjoy my peaceful sleep.
   Most people are being hunted and held back  from achieving that great height God has destined them to achieve due to fear. They fear when God places a dream so strong in their hearts to achieve because they seem not to fit to achieve such a feat. They are excited when God gives them  trailblazing ideas but fear the ridicule of friends, relatives and general society if they fail in the process of carrying it out. They later look for excuses for not pursuing that God given dream and throw in the towel even before starting. But one thing we must be aware of is that Life itself is full of risks. If we pursue our dreams and we don't succeed at first ,with continued persistence, God will use lesson we learnt from such a failure as a spring board to push us to a level we never thought we could achieve. If we succeed God will strengthen and bless our daring effort for further heights but if we fail to try our lives will be filled with regret for not starting such a dream.
  Do you desire to become a successful man or woman in life? Do you want your name to be boldly written on the sands of time as a success symbol? Then you must be bold like a lion and conquer your fears. Take that bold step to pursue your dreams to its fruition and bet me no matter the many falls you might have encountered on the way , with persistence you will certainly succeed.
   Start that business, start that project, start that academic pursuit, start that new you and come what may though they might be onlookers who will ridicule you at the onset, be patient, be confident and persistent for they will certainly rejoice with you when the crown of success settles with ease on your head.
BE STRONG AND COURAGEOUS
GREAT DAY!!!
      

UPDATE FROM CLINTON'S DOCTOR: DEMOCRAT IS 'FIT TO SERVE'

Update from Clinton's doctor: Democrat is 'fit to serve'  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton holds a news conference on the airport tarmac in front of her campaign plane in White Plains, New York, United States September 8, 2016.
 Hillary Clinton is "recovering well" from pneumonia and remains "fit to serve as President of the United States," her doctor said in a letter released Wednesday by her campaign.

The health details made public by the Democratic presidential nominee included a description of the pneumonia diagnosis Clinton received last week Friday. Her illness became public after she left Sunday's 9/11 memorial service early and was seen on video staggering while getting into a van.
The health episode fueled long-simmering conservative conspiracy theories about Clinton's health and provided a fresh line of attack for rival Donald Trump, who has frequently questioned whether Clinton has the stamina to serve as commander in chief.
Facing criticism about a lack of transparency when it comes to her health, Clinton's campaign promised to disclose more detailed information about her health this week.
The letter released Wednesday by the campaign stated that Clinton underwent a chest scan that revealed she had "mild, non-contagious bacterial pneumonia," according to Clinton's physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, chair of internal medicine at CareMount Medical in Mount Kisco, New York. She was treated with a 10-day course of Levaquin, an antibiotic used to treat infections.
Bardack said Clinton is up to date on all vaccines, including two given to help prevent pneumonia — Prevnar and Pneumovax. The letter did not state when she received those vaccines.
"She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest," wrote Bardack, who also authored a letter about Clinton's health released in July 2015. "She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States."
Clinton, 68, has blood pressure of 100 over 70. Her total cholesterol was 189; her LDL or "bad" cholesterol was 103, and her HDL or "good" cholesterol was 56 — all within healthy levels and not signaling the need for any medications. She has also had a normal mammogram and breast ultrasound, according to the letter.
She takes thyroid and allergy medicines and the blood thinner Coumadin, prescribed as a preventative after she suffered a blood clot resulting from a 2012 concussion.
The blood clot, which was in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear, led Clinton to spend a few days in New York-Presbyterian Hospital and take a month-long absence from the State Department for treatment.
Clinton has spent the past three days out of the public eye, recuperating at her suburban New York home. She'll return to the campaign trail Thursday, with a rally in North Carolina and a speech before a Hispanic group in Washington.
"I just talked to her — she's feeling great and I think she'll be back out there tomorrow," former President Bill Clinton said Wednesday, when he stepped in for his wife at a previous scheduled campaign event in Las Vegas. "It's a crazy time we live in, you know, when people think there's something unusual about getting the flu."
Trump, too, has said he plans to release the details of a recent physical this week. On Wednesday, he handed over a one-page summary of that exam, conducted by his longtime physician, Dr. Harold Bornstein, to Dr. Mehmet Oz while taping an episode of Oz's show.
Ever the showman, Trump's appearance on "The Dr. Oz Show" was billed by the campaign as a discussion about his general well-being and his family's medical history.
The show does not air until Thursday and the campaign declined to immediately disclose the results. But a release from the show said "Dr. Oz took Mr. Trump though a full review of his systems," including his nervous system, cardiovascular health, prostate health and family medical history.
Bornstein had previously written a note declaring the 70-year-old Trump, if elected, would be the healthiest president in history. He later said he had written the letter in five minutes as a limousine sent by the candidate idled outside.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISION (SEC) ISSUES WARNING TO ALL NIGERIANS TO STAY AWAY FROM MMM

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISION ISSUES WARNING TO ALL NIGERIANS TO STAY AWAY FROM MMM
Finally, the securities and exchange commission, SEC has issued a definite warning to all Nigerians  to all Nigerians to stay away from MMM, a Ponzi scheme getting huge popularity in Nigeria.
      In a press statement released by the SEC, the commission said:
"The attention of the securities and exchange commission, (SEC) has been drawn to the activities of an online investment scheme tagged' MMM Federal Republic of Nigeria(Nigeria.mmm.net). The platform has embarked on an aggressive online media to lure the investing public to participate in what it called "mutual aid financial network" with a monthly investment of 30%"
 The commission hereby notifies the investing public that the operation of this investment scheme has no tangible business model hence it's a PONZI SCHEME where returns are paid from other people's invested sum.Also, its operation is not registered by the commission"
   The general public is hereby advised to distance themselves from this online scheme please note that anyone that subscribe to this illegal activity does so at his/or her own risk".
It would be recalled that pageone.ng had published a widely trending article on MMM warning the general public to stay away from the scheme because of its unreliability , over generalized promises and the background of the founder of the scheme.
  We have also received many backlash emails from MMM members, many of them  which are confrontational, insultive and  diversionary. However, one of the coherent replies written by Awonusi oluwole , argued that MMM is just a scam just like the conventional banking and financial system.
   However, because of the cardinal role we play, we still maintain our stand that MMM is a PONZI scheme, and the general public should refrain in getting involved in it.

EX- PETROLEUM MINISTER , ALLISON- MADUEKE TO FORFEIT 4.8 BILLION NAIRA ASSET TO FG

                                                    Ex-Petroleum Minister, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke stands to forfeit five of her choice houses, valued at N4.8b to the Federal Government following her indictment in the ongoing anti-graft probe by the Buhari-led administration. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC) said it received intelligence report on the property allegedly acquired by Mrs. Alison-Madueke and swooped into actions. A top source in EFCC, who spoke in confidence, said: “Based on latest intelligence, we have been able to trace more choice assets to Mrs. Alison-Madueke in Port Harcourt. We have drafted more operatives in Rivers State.” However, in a process of rounding-up the investigation of the ex-minister, the EFCC in collaboration with the National Crime Agency in the United Kingdom have deployed some Detectives to the ex-minister’s house in Port Harcourt to carry out further investigations. Amid the Port Harcourt operation, another asset of the ex-Minister in Abuja, allegedly worth over N500million, has been confiscated pending her trial. The EFCC had earlier seized a mansion worth N3.58billion from the ex-minister, bringing her confiscated assets to a total of N4.08billion. The properties under surveillance in Port Harcourt alone are said to be worth over N3billion.                                                    

PATIENCE JONATHAN BEGS EFCC CONCERNING THE $ 31.4 MILLION FRAUD ,SAYS MONEY WAS MEANT FOR HER MEDICAL BILLS

                                                   Former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has written a letter the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) explicating that the $31.4 million connected to the financial fraud levelled against Mr. Waripamo Dudafa by EFCC was for the payment of the medical bills she incurred in London in 2013. The monies in a local bank and claimed by Mrs. Jonathan were placed on a No Debit Order in the course of investigations into the financial affairs of Mr. Waripamo Dudafa, who served as Special Adviser on Domestic Affairs to former President Goodluck Jonathan. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Patience Jonathan claimed ownership of the $31.4 million in the affidavit before a Federal High Court in Lagos. In the affidavit by Sammie Somiari a legal practitioner on behalf of Patience Jonathan claims that it was Dudafa who helped Mrs Patience Jonathan to open the four bank accounts which the EFCC froze. This made the EFCC to file an amended 17-count against Dudafa and seven others, including the four companies, with the defendants being accused of conspiring to conceal the monies which the EFCC claimed they ought to have known formed parts of the proceeds of an unlawful act. The former first lady in her letter to the Acting Chairman of the EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu by her lawyers, Granville Abibo (SAN) and Co enjoined the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Skye Bank to lift the restriction placed on the accounts.

(File In the letter Patience Jonathan admitted that the she is the sole signatory to the accounts and the accounts were card-base. She further went to say that she has been using the account to pay for her medical bill and other personal purposes and that she is a law-abiding citizen. “It is noteworthy to emphasise that the said accounts, which were in US dollar denomination, were card-based accounts and our client is the sole signatory to these accounts. “Our client has been operating the said accounts using the cards for her medical bill payments and purchases for her private purposes without any let or hindrance. “Our client was therefore surprised when the said cards stop functioning on July 7, 2016, or thereabout. Our client immediately, thereupon, contacted Skye Bank Plc through our solicitors. ‘‘It was only then that the bank officials informed our client that the said accounts were placed on a ‘No Debit Order’ following investigations and instruction from your commission and this is without notice to our client by either the bank or the commission. “It is in the light of the foregoing that we urge you to use your good offices to vacate the ‘No Debit/Freezing Order’ placed on the said accounts.” “Despite the foregoing, our client, who is a law-abiding citizen, has watched with surprise how efforts are being made surreptitiously to indirectly harass or harangue her and short-change her of her personal funds in breach of her fundamental human rights. “We urge you sir, to kindly intervene to stop the untoward and wrongful actions of your officials to embarrass, inconvenience and short-change our client.” Madam Patience Jonathan, on the 17 of February in 2013, had said she died and woke up after seven days during her illness for almost three months. Patience Jonathan testimony. According to her testimony in 2013 she said she underwent seven surgery operations within one month and the doctors had given up hope on her survival. “I remember when Chief Obasanjo was the President of the country, I was close to his late wife, Stella. We worshiped together in this chapel. It was a painful moment for me that time when she (Stella) died and her corpse was brought here. “That was how my corpse would have been brought here. *Patience Jonathan It was not an easy experience for me. I actually died, I passed out for more than a week. My intestine and tummy were opened. “I am not Lazarus but my experience was similar to his. My doctors said all hope was lost. “A black doctor in London who is with us in this service was flown in when the situation became critical. It was God himself in His infinite mercy that said I will return to Nigeria. God woke me up after seven days. “I know that some people somehow leaked the information that I was dead. They are people that I trust and rely on; to them, I was dead and I would never return to the country alive. Some of them even sold my things off. “I won’t say everything here. It is the Lord’s doing that I returned alive. When God says yes, nobody can say no. “People are always afraid of operation (surgery) but in my own case, while my travail lasted, I was begging for it (surgery) after the third operation because I was going to the theatre everyday.

CLINTON TO RESUME CAMPAINING ON THURSDAY, AIDE SAYS

Clinton "has spent the day catching up on reading briefings, making calls" and watching on television President Barrack Obama's speech at a campaign appearance for the former secretary of state in Philadelphia, spokesman Nick Merrill said on Tuesday.
"We will resume campaign travel on Thursday, more details to come," he added.
Hours after Clinton, 68, almost collapsed on Sunday at a New York memorial ceremony for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, her doctor said she had been diagnosed with pneumonia two days earlier.
Clinton said on Monday that she would rest a few days before resuming her campaign for the Nov. 8 election against Republican Donald Trump.
Clinton said she had ignored doctor's order to rest and had not revealed her diagnosis earlier because "I just didn't think it was going to be that big a deal."

LINKED IN'S REID HOFFMAN JOINS THE CHORUS OF THOSE CALLING FOR DONALD TRUMP TO RELEASE HIS TAX RETURNS

 

 

LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman is joining the chorus of those calling for Donald Trump to release his tax returns -- and he's putting $5 million behind his voice. The move echoes one made by Trump himself in 2012.

The cofounder and executive chairman of the professional social network Monday published a Medium post challenging Trump to release his tax returns. Trump has so far argued that he should not do so because he is under audit. Hoffman has tossed his support behind Pete Kiernan, a 26-year-old Marine Corps veteran who on crowdfunding platform Crowdpac.com has launched a campaign to raise at least $25,000, which he says he will donate to non-profit organizations that assist veterans if Trump releases his tax return by the final debate, October 19.
Hoffman, who is an investor in Crowdpac, pledged Monday that if Kiernan's campaign meets or exceeds its target, he will match the total amount he reaches with a contribution of five-times that amount, up to $5 million.
"By releasing his tax returns by the third and final debate (October 19), Trump can help voters make more informed decisions on Election Day and support many worthy veterans' organizations at the same time," Hoffman wrote.
The money raised, if Trump releases his returns, will go to organizations like Team Rubicon, the Special Ops Warrior Foundation and the Yellow Ribbon Fund.
In extending the offer, Hoffman is tearing a page out of Trump's own playbook. The real estate magnate in 2012 offered $5 million to President Barack Obama to reveal his transcripts and passport application.
© TheStreet LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman Mocks Donald Trump With $5 Million Offer on Tax Returns He is also hitting at a spot that is especially sensitive for Trump: military veterans. The Republican presidential nominee has cast himself as a champion of veterans on the campaign trail.
Last year, he skipped a primary debate to host a televised fundraiser for veterans. Months later, reporters were hard pressed to find where the $6 million he claimed to have raised had gone, and Trump gave the $1 million he pledged only when pushed. He caused a stir by attacking the parents of fallen U.S. army captain Humayun Khan following the Democratic National Convention.
The purpose of Kiernan's push, and Hoffman's subsequent backing, is, of course, to pressure Trump, who often touts his support his love for the military and veterans, to release his returns in order to benefit a cause about which he claims to care deeply. But Trump has remained vehement that he has no plans to release any documentation -- even what's no longer under audit -- until an IRS audit on all of his returns is complete.
To be sure, Hoffman is not exactly a neutral party in all of this. He was one of numerous business leaders to back Hillary Clinton's presidential bid in June, in a statement calling the former secretary of state "the candidate who best ensures the future of American prosperity." He is a major Democratic Party supporter and donor, giving $1 million to Priorities USA Action, the super PAC now backing Clinton that previously supported President Obama, in 2012. He has contributed to the Clinton campaign this election cycle, and who knows, he could even be up for a spot in her presidential cabinet.

ONLY A SPLIT SECOND PREVENTED ALDARIN FROM BEING THE FIRST MAN TO SET HIS FOOT ON THE MOON

NEIL ARMSTRONG WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THE FIRST MAN TO SET HIS FOOT IN THE MOON
Do you know that Neil Armstrong was not supposed to be the first man that set his foot on the moon? Many don't know that the man who would have taken the glory would have been Edwin C.Aldarin, for he was the pilot for the Apollo mission. He was working for the American Air force. Moreover, he had experience of space walking, hence was selected for the pilot.
Neil Armstrong worked for the American Navy. He was selected for his courage as co-pilot.
    When the Apollo mission landed on the moon, they received a command from NASA, "pilot first". But Aldarin was  hesitant, "what will happen'', will I get sucked in or will I get sucked out", etc. The hesitation was not for hours, but few seconds.
    In the meantime, NASA sent the next command, "co- pilot next''. Within the next second Armstrong  set his foot on the moon and became part of world's history.
   History was changed in a split second..... though Aldarin had the qualification and talent he lost that opportunity of being the first man to set his foot on the moon because of hesitation. Today he is not remembered by many people, The world still remembers the person who came first.
   This is a good example of how people loose out because of hesitation and fear. Whenever you see the moon remember this, a moment hesitation, shyness and fear can stop us from achieving what we are supposed to achieve. Many are shy and afraid to do the impossible and break new grounds that will make their names boldly written on the sands of time. but bear this in mind, if we loose courage to do the right things, we will most likely do the wrong things and regret later on in life. Avoid hesitation, Stop procrastination. The time to start  your success story in life is Now !!!!.

NA ONLY GOD GO HELP MEN

PARENTS WAKE UP CALL

PARENTS WAKE UP CALL


Years back, poor mostly illiterate parents produced

• Doctors
• Engineers
• Scientists
• Accountants
• lawyers
• Architects
• Pharmacists
• Professors etc.

I would refer to this group as group A category of children
These Group 'A' children struggled on their own after primary 6 or grade12, to become notable personalities. Most of them

• Trekked to school 'barefooted
• went to farms
• fetched water and firewood for their various homes.
• cared for domestic animals like goat, sheep, cows etc.
• did some work including trading after school to survive

Now Group 'A' have now become parents themselves are producing Group 'B' children.
These group B  children are

•  Pampered
• helped in their homework or home assignments from nursery school through secondary school to higher institution. some parents even encourage their children to cheat in examinations by giving them money to pay exam mercenaries to have very excellent results and also money to pay lecturers for sorting when they are in the universities.
• chauffer driven to very expensive schools or are sent abroad to study
• they watch movies from morning till dawn during school break
• They are treated like baby kings and queens
• They don't do any household chores
• Food is put on the table for them  and their plates are removed and washed by parents or house helps
• They are given very expensive cars to move around and also big pocket monies which are wasted on frivolous things.

In spite of all these ,only few can speak good English or even write it correctly. Group 'A' parents cared for their own parents when they were getting old because they were brought up with discipline and hard work while most Group 'B' children are still struggling to find their feet. Most of them device "easy ways" of making money like 419 and other dubious activities in order to survive.
WHERE DO YOU BELONG?

• Reduce the pampering and the unnecessary help you offer to your children.
• Let your children grow in wisdom , intelligence and strength
• Let them face the truth and realities of life. Teach to grow and become independent adults. teach them to
• fear God
• develop confidence in themselves

Parents discipline your children to become disciplined adults useful and not useless
MAY GOD HELP US

POTATOES NUTRITIONAL FRIENDS OR FOES

POTATOES : NUTRITIONAL FRIENDS OR FOES
 Be it roasted, steamed  boiled ,baked , roasted, I love them. Growing up, I looked forward to Saturday breakfasts because they are very 'Nigerian' .Friday when my mum would return from work with a Barco bag stuffed with round oblong and indefinite shapes on the inside , I knew it was  potato pottage garnished with pumpkin leaves and smoked fish the next day after chores. my favorite will always be sweet potatoes but lately I've been warming up to Irish potatoes; they are oh so versatile.
so, what is potato?
Potato (Binomial name Solanum tubersorum) is a starchy plant tuber. it is one of the most important and the fourth most consumed food crop in the world. There are more than 100 varieties of potatoes cultivated around the world which fall into 3 basic categories : starchy, waxy and those in- between are referred to  as  all- purpose . The varieties of potatoes include and are not limited to the russet Japanese sweet potato, Norland Red, Austrian Crescent, La Rette white, Russian banana, jewel yam, yellow ,  Kennebec and youkon Gold potatoes.
NUTRITONAL FRIEND?
Potatoes are stuffed with phytonutrients, which are organic components of plants that promote health. The vitamin C in potatoes act as an antioxidant. These substances may prevent or delay some types of cell damage. They also help in digestion, proper function of the heart, blood pressure and even cancer prevention.
BLOOD PRESSURE Potatoes may help lower blood pressure because the fiber found in them can help to lower cholesterol by binding with cholesterol in the blood. Potatoes are a good source of potassium, which helps to lower blood pressure through its actions as a vasodilator (blood vessel widener).
BRAIN FUNCTIONING AND NERVOUS SYSTEM HEALTH: The B6 vitamins in potatoes are critical to maintaining neurological health . vitamin B6 helps create useful brain chemicals including serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. According to the Maryland Medical Center. This means that eating potatoes may help with depression and stress. Potatoes high level of carborhydrate may have some advantages. Including helping maintain good levels of glucose in the blood, which is necessary for proper brain functioning.
IMMUNITY: Vitamin C present in potatoes can help prevent everything from scurvy to common cold .
DIGESTION: The largest health benefits offered by potatoes is how they help with digestion due to their high fiber content. Potatoes high level of carbohydrate makes them easy to digest . Nothing beats fiber when it comes to digestive health , potatoes are a fabulous source of fiber and nutrients especially when eaten with the skin.
SKIN CARE: According to organic facts  vitamin c, vitamin B6 potassium , magnesium  can all help keep skin as smooth and creamy . These nutrients are all present in potatoes. Blended potato juice works magic for the removal of the blackness found under one's eyes .
NUTRITIONAL FOE? when fried potatoes may lead to weight loss when eaten example are French fries, hash browns, potato chips and bacon bits. Baking or microwaving potatoes is the healthiest way to cook a potato . The next healthiest to cook a potato is through steaming, which causes less nutrient loss than  boiling.
FUN FACT: Potato was the first vegetable to be grown in space in 1995 . This simply tells us how cool it is , doesn't it ?

PREGNANCY MYTHS

PREGNANCY MYTHS

Forming a new human being is the most complicated thing a person can do without  having to think about it. But that doesn't mean that women don't fret over it.
Everything about books to articles , to relatives and neighbors have a plethora of advice about pregnancy do's and don'ts, but what is the truth?
    MYTH 1#
STRESS DURRING PREGNANCY IS ALWAYS BAD FOR THE FOETUS.
New research shows that a moderate level of stress is actually good for the fetus. It tones the foetu's nervous system and accelerates its development. Women who experience moderate stress during pregnancy have two-week-old infants with brains that work at a faster rate  than infants of mothers without same stress.
    MYTH 2 # PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD AVOID EXERCISE
Actually when a woman exercises, her foetus gets a beneficial workout. Research shows that the fetuses of  pregnant women who are physically active have heart rates that are slower and more variable; both signs of cardiovascular health. The babies of exercisers have lower birth weights and may even become more intelligent adults because of their bigger brains.
    MYTH 3# SAY NO TO SEX
Good news!! you can still enjoy sex when you're pregnant . Sex doesn't physically hurt the body, which is fully protected by the amniotic sac and strong uterine muscles. Some women wonder if an orgasm can cause a miscarriage. If you have a normal, low risk  pregnancy, don't concern yourself: contractions from orgasm are absolutely different from the type that's associated with labour.
   MYTH 4# PREGNANT WOMEN SHOULD STAY AWAY FROM SEA FOOD
It has been proven that eating lots of fish high in Omega-3 fatty acids and low in mercury while pregnant, produces more intelligent kids. However fish high in mercury like swordfish, shark, tilefish and king mackerel should be avoided.
  MYTH 5# LIPTON TEA "SHRINKS" THE SIZE OF YOUR BABY
TRUTH: Drinking too many cups of Lipton tea may prevent your body from absorbing folic acid appropriately. Folic acid is crucial during the initial 12weeks of pregnancy. Excessive intake of Lipton tea can increase the risk of development of neural tube defects such as spinal bifida in the unborn baby.
   MYTH 6# A FOETUS IS INSULATED IN THE UTERUS AND IS UNAFFECTED BY WHAT'S GOING ON THE OUTSIDE
A lot of what a pregnant woman encounters in her daily life impacts her foetus. Pregnant women can protect their fetuses by staying away from alcohol, cigarettes and insecticides. A woman should also avoid being emotionally disturbed.
  MYTH 7# DRINKING ALCOHOL (PALM WINE) HELPS  BREASTMILK FLOW
  Although  pregnant women are discouraged from drinking alcohol because of alcohol's harmful effect on the development of the foetus, the lore of many cultures encourages lactating mother's  to drink  alcohol  to optimize breast production and infant nutrition .
   In contrast to the lore, studies have shown that the recommendation for the nursing mother to drink a glass of beer or wine shortly nursing may actually be counterproductive.
