Medical tourism is still growing in Malaysia in spite of the credit crunch. In 2008 tourism to Malaysia increased 5% from the 2007 figure, to 22million.
Medical tourism is the fastest growing sector in the travel industry. People simply can't afford the gargantuan charges for cosmetic surgery in developed states like the US and UK, and so travel to more cost effective destinations with excellent healthcare facilities but far lower prices. Asia and Latin America are the two main growth regions.
Malaysia is the most popular destinations for medical tourism, because it has the best healthcare facilities in the ASEAN, in fact people travel to Malaysia from throughout Asia for its healthcare facilities. In fact, Malaysia received 75% of medical tourists from the ASEAN region in 2008, Japan and Europe each received 3%, India received 2% and 17% was shared between the rest.
Malaysia's healthcare facilities are at such a high standard because it is an ex-British colony. This is also another reason why it is very popular with medical tourists from Britain and around the world; because there is a high prevalence of people who speak English very well.
Medical tourism is of benefit to property markets because of the obvious reasons, increased visitor numbers, increased occupancy of rental properties etc etc.
But medical tourism is of even bigger benefit, because the medical tourism market is still in its infancy; you can't just go down Thomas Cook and book a boob job in Bali. Medical tourists are going online and arranging their own holidays, and their own operations, which means they are far more likely to look at renting a villa privately.
This could easily be exploited by savvy investors, who could create their own package holidays (I suggest lots of insurance and disclaimers, but he who dares wins, right?).
Here i share the story about tongkat ali that can be found in Malaysia...
General Health Benefits
Tongkat is believed to strengthen the immune system, and has powerful anti-oxidative properties. It also has anti-viral and even anti-cancer compounds.
Anti cancer Properties
This herb has been shown to have some effects against fighting both breast and lung cancer. Both of these cancers can be very difficult to treat, and as a result a great deal more research is expected to take place in this direction.
Testosterone Booster
The bodybuilding community has taken a very serious intererest in this herb, as it is believed to contribute to the building of muscle mass. In 2003, these claims were put to the test, and a study was published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine. This study indicated that TA did indeed appear to be a strong testosterone booster. Bodybuilders looking for a safe, effective and legal edge for increasing muscle size, muscle strength and performance have been drawn to this powerful enhancing herb.
Increased Sexual Performance
Historically, it has been believed that in addition to it's many other benefits, such as increasing immunity strength and muscle size/strength, that Tongkat has a significant effect on overall sexual performance. The ability of TA to increase sexual performance is directly tied to the herb's stimulation of the production of testosterone. Recent animals studies seem to indicate that (just as was claimed in legend), Tongkat does indeed increase sexual performance. Animals given the compound did have an overall increased sexual response and performance. Since TA is a powerful testosterone booster, sexual performance is boosted in a variety of ways:
-More intense orgasms
-Stronger erections
-Dramatic boost in libido
-Increased semen volume
The Safety of Tongkat Ali
In regards to safety, Tongkat has been used in Asia for hundreds of years. In fact, TA is widely used to this day. Animal testing with rats has shown Tongkat to be a safe herb for human consumption. Again, it is this level of safety that has sparked so much interest from the body building community, as they are intrigued by Tongkat Ali's testosterone boosting ability, which leads to greater muscle mass and strength.
A Wide Array of Benefits
Tongkat Ali is a proven testosterone booster that also has immunity boosting and anti-viral, anti-cancer and libido enhancing properties. These wide-array of benefits, when combined with the herb's safety record, make it an excellent choice if you're looking to boost your testosterone levels naturally.
