North Korea's Partisan(guerrilla) spirit in Iran's Revolutionary Guard?

 The Korean word "Ppalchisan(빨치산)" is derived from the French word "Partisan" and refers to irregular armed guerrillas. During the Korean War, they were also called "Gongbi(공비)".

The word "Ppalchisan" has taken on a slightly different meaning in South Korea. It refers to the anti-Japanese armed guerrillas active in Manchuria during the Japanese invasion of the 1930s and 1940s, led by Kim Il-sung. The North Korean regime emphasizes them as the "roots of the revolution" and its legitimacy.

The Ppalchisans, while based on irregular guerrilla tactics rather than regular military forces, actually functioned as well-organized, elite units.

Those of "Ppalchisan origin" formed the core power structure (Ppalchisan faction) after the establishment of the North Korean regime and contributed to the establishment of Kim Il-sung's one-man dictatorship.

Also, there is a history that imprinted the memory of Ppalchisans = Communists or Leftist. During the Korean War on June 25, 1946, the communist South Korean Workers' Party (남로당) organized and carried out armed guerrilla activities. They were mainly active in mountainous areas such as Jiri Mountain (지리산), and were a communist armed force (남부군) that disrupted the rear of the Republic of Korea. They cut off the supply routes of the national army and waged fierce and persistent guerrilla warfare, but most of them were wiped out in large-scale suppression operations after 1953.

In the relationship between North Korea and Iran, the keyword "Ppalchisan" primarily refers to the bond between North Korea's founding ideology, the "Ppalchisan spirit," and Iran's "Independent Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)." 

North Korea considers Kim Il-sung's anti-Japanese Ppalchisan activities as the roots of its nation, while Iran seized power through the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Both countries justify their military cooperation by sharing the narrative of "nations founded through the struggle against imperialism (the United States)." "Ppalchisan" originally refers to guerrilla units, not regular armies. Iran conducts asymmetrical warfare, guerrilla-style, by planting "proxies" throughout the Middle East, and is known to have borrowed techniques such as North Korean tunneling technology and Ppalchisan tactics in this process. 

During the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, North Korea dispatched weapons and military advisors to Iran. It is believed that North Korea's "Ppalchisan-style military advisors" influenced the early tactics of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.  Iran does not actually have a unit called a "Ppalchisan"; rather, it is the combination of North Korea's guerrilla tradition and Iran's revolutionary spirit that has led to decades of cooperation between Iran and North Korea on missiles and conventional weapons.

In the 1980s, North Korea fully supported Iran, but the situation has recently changed with Iran possessing the largest conventional military force and drones in the Middle East. Iran's advancements in drone technology are increasing the likelihood of drone and precision guidance technology being transferred to North Korea, further strengthening technological cooperation between the two countries.

Furthermore, North Korea previously boasted an overwhelming military advantage over Iran. But According to the recent 2026 Global Firepower (GFP) survey, Iran ranks 16th in military power, based on precision missiles, drone technology, and the size of its military forces in the Middle East. North Korea, with its nuclear weapons, submarine fleet, and large ground forces, ranks 31st.

What do they gain from global warming?

 As of January 2026, the United States is facing a national emergency due to the worst cold snap and snowstorm on record (unofficially known as "Winter Storm Fern"). Some areas, including Minnesota, experienced temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius, while Nebraska and Kansas broke their lowest temperatures recorded since the 1950s. At least 18 deaths have been confirmed across the United States due to the cold snap and snowstorm, with hypothermia and icy road accidents being the leading causes of death.

Even the United States can't avoid this cold snap

- States of emergency have been declared in at least 22 states, including New York and Louisiana, and approximately 230 million people are affected by the cold wave.

- More than 1 million households, mainly in the Southern region, have suffered power outages.

- More than 10,000 flights nationwide have been canceled or delayed.

Which countries are the actual greenhouse gas emitters that are causing these abnormal symptoms?

Indeed, China's rapid economic growth and industrialization in recent decades have led to a surge in greenhouse gas emissions. Since 1990, China's carbon dioxide emissions have increased by nearly 450%. China is the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter, accounting for approximately 30% of global emissions, followed by the United States and India. 

China's serious greenhouse gas emissions

However, in terms of per capita emissions, countries like Australia, the United States, and Canada rank significantly higher than China.

The Trump administration's global warming policies

The Trump administration has called global warming a hoax, withdrew from the Paris Climate Agreement, denigrated environmental policies, rejected clean energy sources like wind and solar power, pushed for climate-related budget cuts and the closure of observatories, and actively supported the use of fossil fuels. 

Carbon dioxide emissions increase every year

This suggests that since Trump took office, the United States, a world leader, has begun sending negative signals to itself and the rest of the world, further fueling global warming.

A new strategic position due to global warming?

The Arctic is warming roughly four times faster than the rest of the world, exposing natural resources, opening potential shipping lanes, and increasing military activity. This is partly due to melting sea ice, which may make the economic development he (President Trump) pursues in Greenland more attractive.

The Arctic surrounded by major powers

Trump is focusing on Greenland's strategic location and its untapped natural resources, including diamonds, lithium, and copper. As global warming melts the Arctic and surrounding ice, Greenland's value as a "resource treasure trove" has increased. Furthermore, the emergence of ice-free areas in the Arctic has further enhanced its shipping value. In October 2025, a Chinese container ship used the Arctic Sea Route, shortening its previous journey to Europe via the Suez Canal by approximately 20 days.

"because of suspicious events." What is this email about? Hoax Mail?

 I received a strange email today. Coincidentally, it was from my address email, but something felt off. The subject line was also strange.

 Strange email 

The subject of the email is ''because of suspicious events." 
I had no idea what was suspicious. It was a long email, so I read it anyway.
.
.
The contents were truly shocking.

Spoofing or Hoax mail #1

"Would like to introduce myself - I am a specialized hacker, and have succeeded in hacking your operating system.

At this moment, I have obtained a complete access to account of yours (this is pass from my adress@email : ).

On top of that, I was also unnoticeably observing all your activities and spying on you for few past months.

It was possible because your computer was infected with malicious spyware, which infiltrated your computer while you were visiting a website containing adult videos. . . . . . ."

Spoofing or Hoax mail #2

Spoofing or Hoax mail #3

The gist of it is that a professional hacker successfully hacked into my computer and monitored it for several months, collecting my personal and sensitive information.

They will then give you a certain amount of time and ask you to send them the desired amount of Bitcoin to a Bitcoin address. Never give in. They are, in fact, a blackmail scammer, and your computer is safe. However, if your computer's security has been lax, I encourage you to take this opportunity to check it.

This email is a cyberattack known as email spoofing or Hoax Mail. Malicious attackers disguise themselves as legitimate senders and spoof the "From" address in the email, making the recipient believe it's from a trusted person or organization. This is commonly used in phishing attacks to steal personal or financial information, and can also lead to malware infections by tricking recipients into clicking on links containing malicious attachments.

Avoid opening suspicious emails and clicking on attachments. If you can't shake the feeling that your personal account has been hacked, change your password or implement additional security measures. Most emails are threatening, designed to extort money using false or misleading information. They're particularly vulnerable to requests for ransom money from Bitcoin addresses, which are easily accessible for money laundering. Never fall for these messages and delete them immediately.

The scientific excellence of Hangeul, uninfluenced by the origins of world language characters

 The origins of world language writing are generally considered to have begun with the cuneiform script invented by the Sumerians of Mesopotamia around 3400 BCE and recorded on clay tablets, and the hieroglyphs of ancient Egypt. These two systems developed and became the basis for various writing systems, including the Chinese characters of East Asia and alphabets derived from the Phoenician alphabet. In particular, the modern European alphabet developed from the Phoenician alphabet, a simplified form of the ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, through Greece and Rome.

However, among all the writing systems in the world, there is one that has its own unique existence, not originating from either Egyptian hieroglyphs or Chinese characters (oracle bone script): Korea's "Hangeul."

Hangeul (hangul)

Hangeul(Hangul) is a writing system created by King Sejong, the fourth king of the Joseon Dynasty, in December 1443. It is a significant and great writing system that lowered the illiteracy rate by making it easier for Koreans, who had previously used difficult Chinese characters, to write and read.

It is considered the world's only original and scientific writing system created by a king for the people. Its scientific nature reflects pronunciation principles in its letter shapes, and its ability to express many sounds with a small number of letters makes it efficient. Furthermore, its fast character creation and recognition speeds make it ideal for the modern digital environment. It also boasts a clear history and is easy to learn.

the origins of world language characters

And Hangeul can express any sound in the world with letters. While English can express only five vowels A, E, I, O, U Hangul can create ten basic vowels plus dozens of compound vowels. So, while the 26 letters of the alphabet can express hundreds of sounds, Hangeul's 24 letters can express around 11,000 sounds. Japanese has around 300 sounds, and Chinese characters around 400 a vastly different number.

UNESCO recognized the excellence of Hangeul by designating it as a 'World Documentary Heritage' in 1997 and awarding the 'King Sejong Literacy Prize' named after King Sejong.

king sejong

King Sejong, the creator of Hangeul, suffered from severe health problems due to the excessive workload and stress he endured during the creation of Hangeul. He suffered from various ailments, including obesity, diabetes, poor eyesight, and back pain. In particular, his eye disease worsened to the point of near-blindness, and by his later years, he was believed to have suffered from a disease that nearly rendered him blind.

 Thus, King Sejong was a ruler with a compassionate heart, deeply empathizing with the suffering of his people. To commemorate this king and the creation of Hangeul, October 9th is designated as a national holiday in Korea.

What Countries Receiving Chinese Support Should Be Wary of

 Developing countries to which China provides various forms of aid, including infrastructure, finance, and food assistance through policies like the Global Development Initiative (GDI) will naturally see an increase in the influx of Chinese nationals. This increases the likelihood that Chinese criminal organizations will easily disguise themselves and operate freely.

This is one reason to be wary of Chinese capital inflows.

Please improve China's image.

Furthermore, the police there are often corrupt and have deep connections between Chinese criminals and high-ranking politicians, making security untenable.

A significant number of Chinese criminals are hiding in Southeast Asian countries, particularly those close to China.

Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia are prime examples. They are also connected to various international criminal organizations,

and it's likely their influence is spreading to other Latin American and African countries, where China provides various cooperation and financial support.

southeast asia

It has been revealed that a Chinese national in Cambodia has been committing employment fraud against Koreans over the past three years, and has been imprisoning, kidnapping, torturing, and murdering them.

The fraud ring, which generates funds equivalent to half of Cambodia's GDP, holds significant influence in Cambodia and has deep political connections.

Without a unified international voice, it appears unlikely that this will be eradicated.

China's Wise Responsibility

Furthermore, China, which seeks to increase its influence in the world, should not only provide aid to developing countries, but also closely monitor criminals escaping from China and use various methods to root them out before they commit evil acts in developing countries. This is China's wise responsibility for the international crimes committed by Chinese criminals.

These days, Cambodia has a bad image among Koreans and its popularity is declining.

 Cambodia, located in the southwestern part of the Indochina Peninsula, was once popular with Korean travelers due to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Angkor Wat. However, as pro-Chinese forces within Cambodia grow, Chinese and Chinese companies are increasingly expanding their presence in Cambodia. Furthermore, former South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol significantly expanded unnecessary aid to Cambodia, wasting taxpayer money unnecessarily. Furthermore, with the recent rise in kidnappings and murders targeting Koreans, Cambodia has become a country disliked by Koreans.

cambodia

Impeached president Yoon Suk-yeol changed the people's tax money into another name and provided support to the Cambodian government. During his term, the Korean government significantly increased the limit on official development assistance (ODA) loans to Cambodia from the existing $700 million to $3 billion by 2030 on two occasions. 

This is because of a request from the head of the Unification Church (Family Federation for World Peace and Unification) headquarters, who provided money and valuables under the guise of a gift to Kim Keon-hee, Yoon Suk-yeol's wife. The Unification Church was seeking to further expand its influence by purchasing key land along the Mekong River. The Unification Church also has close ties to President Donald J.T and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was assassinated by a citizen who harbored a grudge against the church.

Audrey Hepburn 1992

The controversy arose on November 12, 2022, when, during President Yoon Suk-yeol's Southeast Asian tour, First Lady Kim Keon-hee, instead of participating in the spouses' program, visited a Cambodian hospital and a child at home. She was likely imitating a photo of Audrey Hepburn taken at the Baidoa UNICEF feeding center during a 1992 relief effort in Somalia.

In October 2025, South Korea is embroiled in controversy over crimes against Koreans in Cambodia. The torture death of a Korean national who had traveled to Cambodia has sparked criticism that the South Korean government failed to prevent the situation.

Critics have pointed out that the ambassador to Cambodia appointed during the Yoon Suk-yeol administration focused solely on Official Development Assistance (ODA). The Cambodian ODA issue is currently under investigation by prosecutors amid allegations that former President Yoon Suk-yeol's wife, Kim Keon-hee, former CEO of Cobana Contents, was involved in business requests.

The number of reported kidnappings of Koreans in Cambodia was 1 in 2022, 17 in 2023, 220 in 2024, and 340 this year as of August 2025.

Ambassador Park Jung-wook, who assumed his post in January 2023, served as Ambassador to Cambodia for two years and six months until July 17, 2025. During this period, crimes against Koreans in Cambodia increased sharply, and it is unlikely he will be able to avoid responsibility.

Three Chinese nationals have been indicted on charges of murder and other offenses in connection with the kidnapping and murder of a Korean college student in his 20s in Cambodia.

Most of the suspects who commit crimes against Koreans in Cambodia are Chinese. It is presumed that most of the crimes are committed in casino cities such as Prince Estates, Sihanoukville, and Bavet, which were built with Chinese capital by Prince Holding Group, a Chinese company with close ties to former Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen. As business declined due to COVID-19, they have expanded and kidnapped Koreans through job scams, forced them into voice phishing work, and tortured and killed them if they resist.

As such, corruption among Cambodian politicians and police is so rampant that rooting out criminals and their criminal networks, even with the Cambodian government's assistance, appears unlikely.

As kidnappings by Cambodian criminal networks continue to surface, the Korean police are discussing with Cambodian authorities the establishment of a Korean desk dedicated to crimes against Koreans, with Korean officers dispatched locally. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has raised the travel advisory for all of Cambodia to 'Caution', for Phnom Penh to 'Refrain', and for some provinces bordering Laos and Thailand to 'Special Travel caution'.

Korean black cattle, once endangered by Japan

 

Black Wagyu, or black cattle, is commonly known as a representative cattle of Japan, but it actually has a side that hurts Korea.

During the Japanese colonial period, Japan designated Korean cattle as yellow cattle and designated Japanese cattle as black cattle.

Jeju black cattle (original black wagyu)

Under the pretext that the indigenous black cattle, native to Jeju Island, were being confused with the black cattle native to Japan, Japan exterminated Korean black cattle as a mongrel and exploited them for food and military purposes. The name "black cattle" was then taken to Japan and applied to the Japanese Wagyu brand, and the image of black cattle as Wagyu, or Japanese cattle, became entrenched overseas.

The important point is that the Jeju Island black cattle, stolen from Korea, became Mishima beef, a natural monument of Japan.

Mishima beef(Mishima ushi) but In fact, Jeju Island black cattle 

Today's Japanese Wagyu is a hybrid created by crossbreeding Mishima beef with Western cattle.

In fact, the black cattle is a Korean native black cattle that has lived only on Jeju Island since the Goguryeo period in Korea before Christ, and is a pure native breed that is three generations ahead of today's Japanese Wagyu.

During the Japanese colonial period, exploitation nearly brought the breed to the brink of extinction. After liberation, its growth was somewhat slower than that of the yellow cattle, making it less of a source of income for farmers.

This led to an even more rapid extinction. However, in 1981, Professor Moon Seong-ho, working at the Jeju Agricultural Experiment Station, discovered the last Jeju black cattle sire.

 Jeju black cattle

He attempted artificial insemination, miraculously reviving the Jeju black cattle in Korea in 1994.

Hanwoo (韓牛) refers to a native Korean cattle breed raised in South Korea. 

There are four breeds of Korean beef. 

한우 (Korean beef), 흑우 (Black cattle) , 칡소(Tiger cattle),  Jeju black cattle(제주흑우)

The real reason the US demanded $350 billion from South Korea?

*This is my very personal opinion. 

The real reason the US demanded $350 billion from South Korea?

There are no eternal allies. America is an exploitative power.

The US demanded $350 billion from South Korea. And that in cash. But this is absolutely unacceptable.

$350 billion represents 80% of South Korea's foreign exchange reserves.

If South Korea, unknowingly and according to US demands, signs the agreement and uses its foreign exchange reserves, South Korea will go bankrupt, in other words, face an IMF crisis. The exchange rate will skyrocket,

causing a domino effect that will lead to the collapse of many companies. This would make it easy for the US to acquire South Korea's excellent companies and technologies at a bargain price.

$350 billion from South Korea

American manufacturing is in shambles right now, struggling to make even a single mask or a single warship during the coronavirus pandemic, and unable to even repair broken parts.

Despite the recent onslaught of Chinese manufacturing, which has forced factories around the world to close, South Korea has cemented its image as a manufacturing powerhouse by launching Made in Korea products.

Made in Korea

This demonstrates that South Korea can manufacture anything, boasting numerous companies capable of competing with Chinese manufacturing. For the United States, which is championing a manufacturing revival, South Korea is the perfect and desirable role model.

 

The South Korean government has caught wind of this US strategy in this tariff agreement and is refusing to sign this unreasonable agreement with the US. 

God helped Korea. If the previous South Korean government's foolish president hadn't been impeached, South Korea would be exploited by the US right now.

Japan is a double-edged sword, a long-time enemy of Korea that has historically always caused harm, but has also self-destructed.

Japan made headlines by signing a $550 billion US investment agreement in order to bring Korea to the tariff agreement signing table quickly through secret negotiations with the US *Rumor (by pushing Korea into a foreign exchange crisis to easily acquire companies; Japan profited greatly from Korea during the 1997 foreign exchange crisis). (Unlike Korea, which does not have a swap agreement with the US, Japan is very unlikely to face a foreign exchange crisis due to its adequate foreign exchange reserves and unlimited currency swap with the US.)

Taxes for you 

Japan initially misunderstood that the US tariff on automobiles had been unified at 15%, but in reality, it faced the shocking consequence of a "cumulative tariff" of 15% added to the existing 2.5%, for a total of 17.5%. 

In the end, Japan, too, was blindsided by the US, which had relied on the Trump administration's strategy.

Karma always exists in the lives of humans and humanity. If you do good, good things will happen, and if you do bad, bad things will happen. If you do something like that, there will always be consequences.

Make America Great Again... America will undoubtedly become stronger internally.

However, if it becomes even greater by exploiting its allies, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Will the people of those exploited allies have a positive view of the United States?

Can a country representing such a people truly send a positive signal to the United States?

A drama from top adult comedy director Seth MacFarlane's. I recommend the comedy drama "The Orville" for adults who love Star Trek.

If you like science fiction dramas, there is a drama worth recommending. I especially recommend it if you have enjoyed Star Trek in the past.

The Orville is an American science fiction drama that deals with space and alien races 400 years in the future.

Seasons 1 and 2 aired on FOX and were canceled due to low viewer ratings, but Hulu picked them up and revived them. However, the unlucky thing was that due to the corona issue, production was delayed by three years, and it was an unfortunate drama that ended after only one season.

Seth Woodbury MacFarlane, famous for directing the adult comedy Ted movies, participated in the writing and production of this drama and played the role of a captain among the main characters in the drama.

"The Orville": A Deep Dive into Seth MacFarlane's Space Odyssey

Seth MacFarlane's foray into the realm of science fiction with "The Orville" has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, stirring up its fair share of drama and intrigue among fans and critics alike. From its inception to its latest seasons, let's unravel the highs and lows of this space odyssey.

A Bold Departure from the Norm

When Seth MacFarlane first announced "The Orville," many were skeptical. After all, he was primarily known for his animated comedies like "Family Guy" and "American Dad." However, as the series premiered, it became evident that MacFarlane was onto something entirely different. The show struck a delicate balance between humor and drama, weaving together compelling narratives set against the backdrop of space exploration.

The Evolution of Tone

One of the most intriguing aspects of "The Orville" has been its evolution in tone. Initially marketed as a comedy, the series quickly demonstrated its ability to tackle serious subjects with grace and nuance. From exploring complex ethical dilemmas to delving into the intricacies of interpersonal relationships, each episode offered a thought-provoking journey for viewers.

Character Dynamics and Development

Central to the success of "The Orville" are its vibrant and diverse characters. Captain Ed Mercer, portrayed by Seth MacFarlane himself, leads a motley crew aboard the U.S.S. Orville. From the witty and resourceful first officer, Kelly Grayson, to the lovably eccentric alien, Lt. Bortus, each character brings a unique perspective to the table. The dynamics between the crew members, particularly the complicated relationship between Ed and Kelly, add layers of depth to the storytelling.

Navigating Controversy

Despite its critical acclaim and dedicated fanbase, "The Orville" has not been immune to controversy. Some have criticized the show for its occasional reliance on formulaic storytelling or its perceived inability to fully commit to either comedy or drama. However, these criticisms have done little to dampen the enthusiasm of its loyal followers, who appreciate the show's willingness to tackle difficult subject matter with humor and heart.

A Beacon of Social Commentary

At its core, "The Orville" serves as a vessel for exploring timely social issues through the lens of science fiction. From addressing issues of gender identity and sexuality to confronting systemic racism and cultural divides, the series fearlessly dives into the complexities of the human experience. By using allegory and metaphor, "The Orville" invites viewers to reflect on their own beliefs and values, sparking important conversations in the process.

Looking Ahead

As "The Orville" continues its journey into the depths of space, one thing is certain: the drama is far from over. With each new season, the series promises to push boundaries and challenge conventions, all while delivering the same blend of humor, heart, and humanity that has endeared it to fans around the world. Whether you're a seasoned space explorer or a newcomer to the cosmos, "The Orville" invites you to join the crew and embark on an adventure unlike any other.

the orville poster

A fun drama without seriousness, Perhaps die-hard fans of this drama say that it captures the feel of classic Star Trek well. Will The Orville, created by the best adult comedy director, get a season 4?

허리디스크(추간판 탈출증) 집에서 치료한다?

 대부분 허리디스크(추간판 탈출증)는 집에서 관리하며 호전시킬 수 있다는 것을 알고 계셨나요? 단 아래의 증상은 집에서도 호전 시킬 수 없어서 꼭 병원을 방문하여 관리 받아야 합니다.

허리디스크의 원인은 무엇일까요?

허리디스크의 정식명칭은 추간판 탈출증인데요. 이 증상은 나이가 들 때까지 허리사용이 많아지며 자연스레 발생하거나 외상에 의해 발생하기도 합니다. 특히나 체중조절에 실패하여 몸무게가 늘어난 경우, 평소 좋지 못한 운동, 무거운 물건을 많이 드는 직업 등으로 허리를 혹사한 경우 더 잘 발생하게 되는데요. 허리디스크가 생기게 되면 통증으로 생활하기 힘들어질 만큼 영향을 미치기 때문에 평소 세심한 허리 관리가 필요합니다.

추간판 탈출증의 대표적인 증상으로 허리로부터 시작하여 엉덩이 다리로 이어지는 전기가 오는 듯한 통증이 있는데요. 반대로 다리에서 엉덩이, 허리로 이어지는 통증은 추간판 탈출증이 아닐 가능성이 높아서 병원을 방문하여 정확한 진단이 필요하겠습니다.

허리-엉덩이-다리로 이어지는 통증 = 추간판 탈 중증 증상 확률이 높음 

다리-엉덩이-허리로 이어지는 통증 = 하지 혈관질환, 하지불안증후군, 종양 등의 질병 의심

허리디스크 증상이 있는데 병원을 가야 할까?

이렇게 추간판 탈출증 증상이 있는데 무조건 병원을 가야 하는 걸까요? 정답은 No입니다. 추간판 탈출증의 대부분은 특별한 치료 없이 자연스럽게 호전되기 때문인데요.

다만 병원에서 치료받아야 하는 경우는 견디기 힘든 통증이 2~사흘 동안 지속하고 일상적인 생활이 힘들 때는 병원에서의 관리가 꼭 필요합니다.

통증의 원인은?

일반인이 알기에 허리디스크의 통증은 허리의 디스크가 탈출하여 신경을 눌러 통증이 발생한다고 알고 계시는 데요, 하지만 대부분 통증은 디스크가 탈출했을 때 신경 주변에 발생한 염증 때문인 통증이 대부분 주원인입니다. 

그리고 염증 때문인 통증은 별다른 치료 없이도 무리하지 않는다면 한 달에서 두 달 안에 자연스레 호전되는 데요. 

다만 염증이 호전되었어도 여전히 탈출한 디스크가 허리 신경을 눌러 통증을 느낄 수도 있습니다. 하지만 이 또한 1~2년 정도 후에는 저절로 몸에 흡수돼 자연스럽게 치유됩니다. 

인간 몸의 자연치유능력이 정말 놀라울 따름인데요.

집에서도 잘 관리하면 치료할 수 있습니다.

추간판 탈출증이 생겨나고 난 후 1~2년 동안 무리하지 않고 통증과 허리를 잘 관리 하면 자연스레 치유되니 굳이 시간과 비싼 돈을 들여 무조건 병원을 찾는 일은 하지 않아도 되겠습니다. 

병원을 꼭 방문해야 하는 경우는?

디스크로 인해 일상생활에 지장이 생길 정도로 견디기 어려운 통증이 있다면 병원을 방문하여 적절한 치료를 받는 게 더 지혜롭습니다. 더불어 하반신 감각 둔화, 움직이기 힘들고 배변장애 등을 하지 마비라 하는데요. 특히 하지 마비가 없이 대소변 장애만 있는 경우는 디스크가 신경을 눌러 생기는 증상으로 응급하다 할 수 있는데요. 자칫 이것을 내버려뒀다간 영구적인 신경 손상이 일어날 가능성이 있기 때문에 반드시 병원을 가서 수술적인 치료를 해야 합니다.

평소 허리에 받는 압력을 알고 있어야 합니다. 

특히 일상생활에서 허리를 구부리거나 바닥에 앉아 있는 자세는 허리에 큰 무리를 주는 데요. 누워 있을 때 허리에 받는 압력이 1이라면 서 있을 때 4배의 압력을 받고 의자에 앉았을 때는 6배, 허리를 구부렸을 때 8배, 바닥에 앉았을 때는 8~10배의 압력이 허리를 힘들게 하니 참고 하시면 되겠습니다. 그러니 평소 허리가 안 좋으신 분들이라면 좌식생활을 하는 것보단 입식 생활을 하는 게 더 이롭겠습니다.

윗몸일으키기는 허리디스크를 예방하는 운동이지 허리디스크 발생 후 허리 아픈 환자들의 운동이 아닌데요. 자칫 허리디스크 환자들이 윗몸일으키기를 하고 디스크를 더 찢어지게 하기 때문에 전혀 도움이 되지 않습니다. 

-코어 근육 강화운동

허리 주변의 근육을 강화하는 코어 근육 강화운동이 허리 통증을 줄여줄까요? 그렇지만은 않습니다. 코어 근육 강화운동으로 효과를 보는 사람은 극히 일부인데요. 유전적으로 허리가 튼튼하거나 젊은 사람들은 큰 효과를 보지만, 평소 디스크 손상이 심하고 유전적으로 디스크가 약한 사람들에게는 오히려 디스크 손상을 더 크게 만들고 방사통까지 생겨날 가능성이 많습니다.

-걷기와 달리기

허리를 좋게 하는 과학적으로 알려진 유일한 운동은 걷기와 달리기입니다. 

-좋은 자세

허리에 좋은 운동이란 대체로 없습니다. 

허리에 좋은 것은 좋은 자세뿐입니다. 평소 좋은 자세로 허리에 압박을 줄여 허리디스크로부터 자유로워지세요.

이상한 꿈, 미스테리 네이버 지식인

 2004년 5월 31일, 선교 겸, 00무역의 직원으로 취직한, 故 김00씨는 이라크에서 극단주의 무장단체인 '유일신과 성전(이슬람 극단주의 IS의 전신)'에 피랍되었으며, 故 김00씨의 마지막 외침에도 불구하고, 정부의 테러리스트와의 협상 불가 지침으로 결국 6월 22일 죽임을 당해 꽃다운 젊은 삶을 끝마치게 되는데요.

당시 국민들은 정말 큰 충격에 빠지게 되며, 정부에 대한 비판과 더불어 이슬람 문화권에 대한 혐오와 분노가 싹트기 시작합니다.

그의 영상은 안타깝게도 정부에서 차단조치를 취하기 전까지, 잠시 인터넷상에 떠돌며 많은 사람들이 보고 마는데요.

그중 한 명의 네이버 지식인이 있었는데, 그는 그런 류의 영상을 보고 충격에 잠을 못 이루게 됩니다.

당시 16살 중학교 3학년이었던 그가 심각하게 꿈, 해몽 관련 네이버 지식인에 올린 글은 이렇습니다. 

이 글은 성지순례 글로 아직도 많은 사람들이 댓글을 남기고 있는데요.

대체 무엇이 이 글을 성지순례 글로 만들었을까요?

"그가 말하길 친구와 미국인 XX 동영상을 보았는데 몇 주일째 잠을 못 이루다가 10일에 자기 전, 자꾸 미국인 XX 장면과 故 김00씨가 생각난다는 것이었습니다. 그러다 11일에 잠이 들었다는 것인데 그때 故 김00씨가 꿈에서 나와 사라지면서 만화에서 자주 나오는 생각하는 풍선에 67이라는 숫자가 적혀 있는 것을 보았다고 합니다."

이글이 왜 성지순례 글이 되었을 까요?

◆미스테리하고 무서운 팩트

팩트1

67은 무슨 의미의 숫자일까요? 67은 후에 故 김00씨를 죽게한 주범, 유일신과 성전의 지도자 '아부 무사브 알 자르카위'가 2년 뒤 미군에게 사살된 날짜와 일치합니다. 

그는 2006년 6월 7일에 사망했습니다.

팩트2

해당 네이버 지식인 글은 9월 13일에 적어져있습니다. 공교롭게도 그날은 故 김00씨의 생일입니다.

또한 9월 13일을 숫자로 분리해 더해보면 

9+13=22

22일 이날은 故 김00씨가 죽음당한 날짜와 일치합니다.

팩트3

작성자가 꿈을 꾼 날은 글에 잠자기전 10일이라고 했으니 잠은 11일에 들어 故 김00씨의 꿈을 꾸게된다고 보아야합니다. 이건 약간의 억지가 있지만 신기하게도 잠이 들었던 그날은 미국이 이슬람 무장단체에 테러를 당한 9월 11일 테러가 일어난 날짜입니다. 

팩트4

네이버 지식인 글이 13일에 적어져있는데요. 故 김00씨가 꿈에서 알려준 67을 따로 숫자로 떼어 하나하나 더하면 13이 나옵니다.

6+7=13

또한 故 김00씨의 생일이자 미스테리 네이버 지식인이 글을 작성한 9월 13일을 숫자로 하나하나 떼어 더하면 또 13이 나옵니다. 

9+1+3=13

근데 더 충격인것은

미스테리 네이버 지식인이 적은 글의 줄 수도 13줄입니다. (한번 천천히 세어보세요)

뭔가 무섭고 너무 소름돋네요.

▶미스테리 네이버 지식인의 글 원본

아무리 짜맞추기식 팩트일지도 모르지만, 우연이라고 말하기엔 뭔가 잘맞아 조금 오싹합니다.

참 세월이 빠르네요. 벌써 19년전의 이야기입니다. 당시 중학교 3학년이였던 16살 미스테리 네이버 지식인은 지금 34살이 되있을텐데요. 지금 쯤 무엇을 하고 있을까요?

어쩌면 이 미스테리 네이버 지식인은 한맺힌 故 김00씨를 만나 꿈으로 예언 받은게 아닐까요? 아니면 이 지식인은 미래에서 온 사람이거나 일반인보다 감각이 뛰어난 초능력자가 아니였을까요?

세상은 참 미스테리한 일들이 많습니다.

농약을 안쳐도 되는 초보자가 키우기 쉬운 과일 과실나무는 어떤 것들이 있을까?

 누구나 한 번쯤은 전원주택을 지어 집 앞마당에 과실나무를 심고 가족들과 수확하여 맛보는 행복한 꿈을 꾸곤 합니다. 이렇게 처음 과일나무를 심는 초보자에게 좋은 나무식재들로는 무엇이 있는지 몇 가지 알아보도록 하겠습니다.

-모과나무-

모과 나무는 열매 수확용으로는 사실 많이 이용하지는 않고 예쁜 관상용이 많은데요. 모과는 열매가 열렸을 때 나는 향이 좋아 천연방향제로도 활용할 수 있으며 열매를 작게 잘라 모과 청으로도 담아 드실 수 있습니다.

모과

모과나무는 1그루만 식재 하여도 열매가 잘 열립니다. 다만 모과나무는 내한성이 뛰어나지 않아 겨울에 추운 강원도 지역을 제외하고 식재가 가능하니 참고하시길 바랍니다.

-무화과나무-

무화과 나무는 새순에서 열매가 열리는 과실수인데요. 그렇기 때문에 양분만 충분히 잘 준다면 그해에도 많은 수확이 가능합니다. 무화과에서 나오는 점액질 성분인 픽신은 해충들이 기피하기 때문에 무농약 재배도 가능한 병충해가 없는 초보자가 키우기 쉬운 좋은 나무입니다. 

무화과

다만 무화과 나무도 내한성이 뛰어나지 않아 온도가 낮은 북쪽 지역에서 식재 할 수록 온도에 신경 써줘야 합니다. 

무화과는 생과를 그냥 먹거나 무화과를 말려 무화과 말랭이로 만들어 드실 수가 있으며 샐러드나 요거트에 섞어 먹을 수 있습니다.

-다래나무-

일반 참다래나 키위 종류의 나무들은 수분수가 꼭 필요해서 2~3개를 심어야 되는 나무들이 많은데 그에 비해 다래나무는 1그루만 심어도 웬만해선 자가 수정이 잘 되는 나무입니다. 

다래

또한 추위에도 정말 강해서 강원도 지방에서 많이 재배가 되는 나무 중 하나인데요. 병충해에도 강하여 많은 소독이 필요하지 않는 나무로 초보자들이 쉽게 키울 수 있는 나무 입니다.

더불어 다래나무는 덩굴성이기 때문에 지주대만 세워도 자연적인 그늘 막을 만들 수 있고 조경용으로도 손색이 없는 나무입니다.

-대추나무-

대추나무는 크게 두 종류로 나뉘는 데요. 왕대추와 복조대추(재래종 대추)로 나눌수 있습니다. 왕대추는 사과대추 라고도 많이 불리고 있고 알이 크기 때문에 아삭한 식감과 함께 생과용으로 적합합니다.

대추

재래종인 복조 대추는 알이 작지만 당도도 좋아서 말린 대추와 생과로 많이 사용되고 있습니다. 그래서 둘다 한 그루씩 심어주면 작은 대추와 큰 대추를 장점을 모두 느끼며 같이 실컷 드실 수 있겠습니다.

대추나무도 마찬가지로 1그루만 심어도 열매가 잘 열리는 나무로 병해충에 강하고 전지만 잘해주면 쉽게 열매를 수확해서 먹을 수 있는 나무인데요.

(*대추나무 전지는 밖을 향하면서 아랫쪽을 향하는 눈을 남겨두고 그위 2~3Cm의 가지를 절단한다.)

물론 대추나무는 다른 나무보다 소독이나 이런 저런면에서 신경을 써주셔야 되는 것은 맞지만 일반 과실수에 비해서 키우기가 쉬운 나무 중 하나입니다.

-살구나무-

살구나무는 특이하게 한 가지만 심어도 열리는 품종과 한 개만 심어도 열매가 열리지 않는 품종들이 존재합니다. 그렇기 때문에 과실의 안정성과 많은 수확을 원하신다면 꼭 두가지 품종 이상을 혼식 해주는게 좋겠습니다.

살구

병해충에도 강한 살구나무도 쉽게 열매를 수확해 드실 수 있습니다. 다만 살구나무는 주의해야 하는 시기가 있는 데요. 매년 4월, 꽃이 피는 개화시기때에는 서리피해를 조심해야 꽃이 건강하고 열매가 잘 수정될 수 있도록 만들어 주니 이 시기에는 꼭 신경 써야하겠습니다.

한그루 식재를 원하신다면 산형3호, 초하, 등의 자가수정이 잘되는 품종들을 잘 선택하여 식재하는게 좋겠습니다.

-앵두나무-

앵두는 신진대사를 촉진하여 피로회복, 기침과 가래를 줄여주며 피부 미용과 소화기능 활성화에도 탁월한 효능을 갖고 있는 열매인데요. 

앵두

또한 꽃이 피면 화려하여 조경용으로도 손색없는 앵두나무는 식재만 해도 병충해 없이 혼자 잘자라는 나무입니다. 더불어 열매 수확기도 빠르기 때문에 빠른 열매를 원하시는 분들에게 어울립니다.

-석류나무-

석류나무는 신맛이 나는 석류를 맺는 신석류와 단맛이 나는 석류를 맺는 단석류 두종류가 있습니다. 다소인기가 없는 신석류는 조경용으로 많이 쓰이고 열매는 보통 가공용 재료로 사용되는데요. 알이 큰 왕석류 즉 단석류는 생과로 최근 인기가 많고 많이 재배하는 추세입니다.

석류

하지만 단석류는 내한성이 강한 신석류와 달리 내한성이 조금 약한 편입니다. 그렇기 때문에 추운지방에는 신석류, 따뜻한 지방에는 단석류 식재가 옳겠습니다. 그렇지만 신석류가 아무리 내한성이 좋다고 한들 추운지역의 동해(Freezing)피해를 조심해야하겠습니다.

-베리류-

아로니아, 블루베리, 블랙베리, 블랙커런트, 크랜베리 등의 베리류 나무들은 공간을 많이 차지하지 않는 나무인데요. 집앞 작은 텃밭이나 집안 베란다에서도 쉽게 키우실 수 있으며 병충해에 강하고 열매도 쉽게 수확할 수 있습니다. 

베리류

단 베리류의 나무들은 산성 토양을 좋아하는 나무들이 다수 인데요. 그렇기 때문에 자신이 식재하고자 하는 베리나무의 특성을 조금 알고 시작한다면 초보자들도 쉽고 재미있게 재배할 수 있는 나무입니다.

끝으로 한가지 충격적인 사실은 시중에 나오는 맛있는 과일들을 얻기까지에는 사실 무농약으로 재배하기가 무척 힘들다고 하는 데요. 일반시중에 판매하는 과일과 똑같이 맛있는 열매를 생산하고 싶다면 농약과 세심한 관리가 필수일 수 밖에 없다는 것을 참고하셔야겠습니다.
