BOOK SUMMARY:
Sophia Vabueretti grew up with her grandmother in Forest Green, a remote town in the Great Archipelago of Philipdomia somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. When she turned thirteen, she moved to her parents' house in the big city where she has to share a home with her two siblings, Alex and Nadine. 

In the summer before her senior year of high school, an accident causes her to lose her memory, and also causes her to regret forever having lost a high school romance. Her diary is the only link she has to her childhood memories and first love. As she struggles with both grief and loss, an unexpected encounter with a strange creature from the mystical Forest of Evergreen changes her life forever. Her life becomes even more complicated, tangled among three equally intense webs of love, death, and life. 
The Forest of Evergreen: Lost in the Wilderness will transport you to a magical place where a new kind of love and unfamiliar adventures await.

Herbal Medicines: Boon or Bane?

The Philippine Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently warned the public of three “voodoo” anti-cancer products by the name of Aro Baro Churo Organic Tea, Aro Guyabano Tea, and Aro Baro Churo Guyabano Capsules. These products are not registered with FDA either as herbal medicines or food supplements. DOH-FDA Advisory No. 2013-004, stated that these products are now distributed throughout the country with boasts that they are 100,000 times stronger than chemotherapy and that they contain Adriamycin that can kill cancer cells, among other claims. Acting on the issue, the FDA with the help of local government units implemented measures such as strict monitoring and on the spot inspections to remove these products from the market nationwide.

Since many popular health products in the market are registered wit...

Pharmacist’s take on war on drugs

President Duterte has famously said, “My God, I hate drugs.” As a pharmacist, I couldn’t agree more. Pharmacists do take it literally because of the large number of drugs in the market that have to be memorized and studied, especially now that there is a continuous manufacture of new drugs. To the layperson, a drug is a substance that can treat, cure, mitigate, or prevent diseases. An illegal drug is any substance that is prohibited by law because it is known to have psychoactive effects and addicting potential. Illegal drugs are not prescribed by a physician or bought from a drugstore; they are unlawfully sold in streets and other places with corresponding code names such as “shabu” for methamphetamine hydrochloride or “MJ,” “weed,” or “chongki” for marijuana. ADVERTISEMENT Actually, many legal drugs are psychoactive and can cause addiction as well. These include the sedative-hypnotics, the antiseizure drugs, the anesthetics, and others that target the brain. The...
