Garbage Enzyme

A toast to garbage By ROSE YASMIN KARIM Committed to leaving the smallest footprint possible, one woman is waging war on global warming. While a lot of tree-huggers take themselves way too seriously, Dr (H) Joean Oon carries her social conscience without being smug. Going beyond screwing in compact fluorescent light bulbs and carrying tote bags to the grocers, the homeopathy and naturopathy doctor is tirelessly working towards bringing environmental awareness to the masses by giving free public talks . . . on garbage enzyme. http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/7/26/lifefocus/f_06garbage.jpg Fruits headed for the fermenting drums. Environmental issues are important to Oon because she worries for the future generation. I was devastated when I found out that Malaysia was on the brink of sinking due to global warming, says Oon at her Naturopathic Family Care Centre cum garbage enzyme headquarters in Tanjung Bungah, Penang. My biggest concern was for the safety of my three daughters, and I knew I had to do something, anything, to save them. That was what drove me to learn about producing garbage enzyme from Dr Rosukon Poompanvong, an alternative medicine practitioner in Thailand, she recalls. So how does trimming trash help to bring down the earths temperature? The production of garbage enzyme generates ground-level Ozone (O3). The O3 helps to maintain the earths temperature by releasing the heat trapped by the heavy metal in the clouds. If every household turns its garbage into enzyme, we can protect our ozone, live in a smog-free environment and eat food free from toxins, explains Oon. By mixing garbage enzyme with chemical cleaning products, Oon explains, the enzyme flowing into our drainage system will cleanse the rivers and oceans. We are running a campaign to encourage Malaysians to pour garbage enzyme into our rivers this Dec 21, says Oon, The enzyme will help to break down the harmful chemicals. We have done a trial run at Sungai Kayu Ara in Selangor and the results have been encouraging. http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/7/26/lifefocus/f_06yeast.jpg The yeast forming on the surface of the enzyme is rich in B complex and Vitamin C. NURFADILLA A. K. S. Oon works with 10 dedicated staff to produce the enzyme and to publish booklets. She and her team have gone on garbage enzyme road shows all across Malaysia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Taiwan, Indonesia and India. To date, we have given away 15,000 bottles for free because we want to encourage people to try it and eventually make their own, she says. Funds for the project, according to Oon, have never fallen short. Thanks to the publics generosity, we have not been short of brown sugar and plastic bottles to keep the project running, she says. The new black So how practical and useful is this enzyme? I dont pick up litter in the midst of a shopping excursion, I dont turn off the tap when I brush my teeth and I sure dont wait until it mellows before I flush, but Oons suggestion to reroute one third of my household waste away from the landfill by making my own enzyme seems do-able. While Oon attends to a patient, a staff member, Peter Too, 31, takes me to the porch for a garbage enzyme show-andtell.

Glass expands, so its better to use plastic containers to store the enzyme, Too says, as he twists the lid off an air-tight plastic drum, releasing a whiff of fermenting fruits and vegetables. The smell was a cross between apple cider vinegar and orange juice past its shelf life. To make the enzyme all you need is one part brown sugar, three parts kitchen waste and 10 parts water. First, mix brown sugar with water. Then add in the garbage watermelon rinds, orange peels, carrot shavings, tea leaves, apple cores, banana peels and vegetables. You can also put in meat, dairy products and durian, but I have to warn you, its going to smell really bad. Remember to leave some space at the top of the container for the enzyme to breathe. Every now and then, give it a good stir so it gets enough air. In three months, your enzyme is good for use, says Too. http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/7/26/lifefocus/f_06bottle.jpg Volunteers helping to bottle the enzyme. One of the drums has some funky-looking mould floating at the top. Its yeast, and its perfectly safe to use, Too says, rubbing it between his fingers for good measure. Another barrel is littered with fat fruit worms, alive and crawling. Worms develop when the container is not sealed properly. To dissolve them all, just add one extra ratio of sugar and make sure the lid is tight. The extra protein will be great fertiliser. The garbage enzyme, Too explains, will never expire. The longer you store it, the stronger it will become, he says, sending me off with a bottle and dilution instructions to try out. Putting it to the test My poor tresses have been subjected to shampoos that claim to be natural but contain parabens, sodium laureth sulfate and some other stuff I cant pronounce. The enzyme, I figure, is just what I need to disarm the chemicals. I dont want to mix the enzyme in a full bottle of shampoo so I get a trial-size bottle, add two tablespoons of enzyme and give it a good martini shake. The shampoo smells good, but leaves a sticky residue after the first rinse. I give it a second rinse. It leaves my locks looking, well, pretty much the same as they always do. Since it works fine on my hair, I decide to use the enzyme on other surfaces. There is some lime scale collecting at the bottom of my bathroom pail. I fill it a quarter full with water, and add a tablespoon of enzyme. The flaky white stuff comes off after a good rub with an old loofah. On a roll, I get to work on some dishes that have been sitting overnight in the kitchen sink. With the sink plugged, I squeeze a generous amount of liquid suds, three tablespoons of enzyme and some water and let the dishes soak for awhile. The suds smell light and fresh. Getting rid of the crusty scrambled eggs in the skillet takes a bit of elbow grease but it all comes off. I am so thrilled, my eyes start darting around trying to find something else to clean. The kitchen tiles are in need of polishing, I decide. Rolling my sleeves, I soak a rag in a bucket of water and enzyme. A lot of dirt comes off. The result isnt exactly sparkling, but its better than spraying toxic cleaning products. Trigger-happy, I drop a tablespoon of enzyme into a brand name glass cleaner and set to work on my mirrors. Seeing my grinning reflection in the stain-free mirror totally pumps me up, but I cant help but roll my eyes when I notice I still have zits at 27. I dab a bit of enzyme onto some zits along my hairline. It stings a bit, but next morning, the pimples seem to have shrunk a bit. This is magic. Feeling pretty pleased, I prop my feet on the ottoman and snack on pesticide-free grapes that have been soaked for 45 minutes in a bowl of enzyme and water. Being a domestic goddess sure isnt easy, but at least with garbage enzyme

Natures miracle enzyme By WINNIE YEOH CHIN Choon Sin, 70, who had severe diabetic sore feet, is thankful someone introduced him to eco-enzyme, which is also known as garbage enzyme. I was so helpless at that time as my feet has become dark with infections. Even the doctor had given up but I knew I had to try something to save my feet, he said. Chin is able to walk today as his wounds have dried up and the energetic elder was seen promoting the use of ecoenzyme during a talk held in conjunction with the Drainage Cleanliness Campaign held at the Dewan Rakyat Pasar Pagi, Tanjung Bungah, Penang yesterday. The campaign was organised by the Pe- nang Sudarshan Kriya Organisation and Tanjung Bungah assemblyman Teh Yee Cheu. http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/9/2/north/green.jpg Eco-friendly enzyme: Pouring eco-enzyme into drians can help save the environment as it neutralises the chemicals inside them http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/9/2/north/green1.jpg Convinced user: Chin showing the wound on his leg that has healed with the help of eco-enzyme. http://thestar.com.my/archives/2008/9/2/north/green2.jpg Cheap and practical: Dr Oon demonstrating how eco-enzyme can be used to clean vegetables. I was like them, very doubtful at first and wondered how could some stinky muddy water save me but after three weeks of dipping my feet in it, my wounds started to heal! he exclaimed excitedly. Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng, who attended the campaign, said he first heard of the use of enzyme during the state assembly when Teh talked about recycling and promoting a green environment in the state. I didnt really know what it was but Im very interested with it. Now that I have a better idea of it and I hope more people will become aware of its benefit and start making it on their own at home, he said. He also said the state government in its first budget would implement several environmental measures to transform Penang into a green state. Lim has also given the organisation permission to enter Pulau Burung to carry out cleanliness activity by pouring the ecoenzyme into rivers there. Eco-enzyme is made from the fermentation for three weeks of leftover vegetables and fruit wastes. One has to mix one part of brown sugar with 10 parts of water, depending on the size of container used. It can be added into shampoo, dish wash, laundry detergent as well as mixed with water for gardening and farming. Eco-enzyme advocate Dr Joean Oon said: The enzyme will neutralise the chemicals in our drainage systems and save the environment. We can reduce kitchen waste and that means less waste will be sent to the landfill.

Lim later poured bottles of eco-enzyme into the drains at the market and distributed some bottles to hawkers there. Those who attended the event were each presented with a bottle, a free container and brown sugar. They were also taught how to create their own eco-enzyme at home.

Step by step creating Enzyme drink There are some readers send e-mail to me and ask me about the process of making Enzyme. Today, I will write step by step making a dragon fruit Enzyme. Sorry for taking such long time to create this guidelines. Below is the Recipe for a Big Horlick Size bottle. 1. 2 Dragon fruit, some aloe vera, 2 packet of brown candy and 3 lemon. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/siyichang/xs_01-2.jpg Clean the fruits and all the utensils well. Utensils like knife, cutting board, plates and etc. Make sure the fruits are dry before you cut into small pieces. First, use the 1/3 portion of the bottle to put Dragon fruits, then put half packet of brown candy. The brown candy is used to extract the juice out of the fruits. After that, continue to fill the bottle with the rest of the fruits (dragon fruit + aloe vera+ lemon). Put the rest of the brown candy on the top layer. The top layer brown candy will prevent it from becoming mouldy. Lastly, the enzyme is done. Put bottle in a cool place for 3 weeks. Congrats! Sieve it and bottle juice. Keep it refrigerated. Mix it with enough water to make a refreshing drink. Drink enzymes frequently to detoxify body system. http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/siyichang/xs_02-2.jpg Sample Picture of Dragon fruit Enzyme http://i90.photobucket.com/albums/k265/siyichang/xsu_01-1.jpg Yeah, after 3 weeks...Enzyme drink done :P ============================================================================
