V3-5. One day the king ordered …his highest official to choose some young men … they must be fit to serve in the royal palace. (The king said:) Give them the same food and wine that I am served.
V8. Daniel made up his mind to eat and drink only what God had approved for his people to eat … and asked not to eat the food and wine served in the royal palace.
V10-13 (The official told Daniel): And I am afraid he (the king) will kill me, if you eat something else and end up looking worse than the other men. Daniel said to the guard: For the next ten days, let us have only vegetables and water at mealtime. When the next ten days are up, compare how we look with the other young men, and decide what to do with us.
V15-16. Ten days later, Daniel and his friends looked healthier and better than the young men who had been served food from the royal palace.
After this, the guard let them eat vegetables instead of the rich food and wine.
Comments
Interpret this experiment however you like. What is the message here? Not only we today, even the court officials years ago were “brain-washed” into believing that “royal or affluent food” is healthy.
Daniel had a choice ~ what would you choose?
If I were to adopt Daniel’s diet, would I be just as healthy?
This story is probably the first success experiment on human nutrition ever recorded!
Being an oncologist, the following are Dr Brawley’s comments on cancer treatments:
In Chapters 3 and 4, a typical breast cancer treatment case was described. Helen, 50 had mastectomy in 1990 to remove a 4cm lump together with 21 lymph nodes, all negative, and classified stage II. She was “offered” post surgical chemotherapy. Her oncologist explained that a stronger dose is better than a weaker dose. “More is better” has been the hallmark of the oncology profession since the 1950s, the more chemotherapy you administered to the patient, the more effective in terms of killing the disease.
To save Helen from succumbing to the toxic effects of chemotherapy, she was “offered” autologus bone marrow transplantation since her insurance company will pay for more of the costs of the transplant and chemotherapy (page 32).
The side effects (page 33) Helen experienced from the transplant and chemotherapy was far more severe than she expected or was explained to her.
She experienced the following:
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dehydration,
Her marrow was slow to re-implant and start producing,
She had bleeding caused by a low platelet count and severe anaemia,
She had gastrointestinal bleeding and bleeding from the incisions made to harvest her bone marrow,
She had mouth and gum problems and cardiac rhythm problems,
She had a change in mental status due to electrolyte imbalance,
She had respiratory arrest and is put on a ventilator,
She developed pneumonia and had a tracheotomy
Altogether, she spent 5 months in a hospital only to be discharged to a rehabilitation hospital.
Helen survived it all. However three years after her discharge, she read a news story about randomized clinical trials that showed that bone marrow transplantation for breast cancer doesn’t prolong survival!! (page 33).
Naturally she was devastated. Why had she been subjected to a devastating procedure when no one, including her doctor, could say with certainty whether it worked? Why wasn’t she told about this uncertainty? Was it possible she was duped? Was it possible she had nearly died to help her doctor and various medical institutions accumulate wealth? (page 30)
When confronted, her oncologist admitted and responded that…”this was what everybody was doing at the time” (page 34)…so much for “FIRST, DO NO HARM!!”
Four years later, a routine chest X-ray showed a lesion in Helen’s lungs… had Helen’s breast cancer returned despite the transplant? As further lesions developed in her lungs after the initial chest X-rays, Helen was told by her insurance company that she was pronounced uninsurable (page 36).
From a middle-class woman who has done everything her doctors told her to do and had been put through tremendous amount of what is now considered unnecessary treatments that she suddenly found herself uninsured and dying of cancer. What are her options now? (page 36).
A few months later, Dr Brawley was handed Helen’s PET-CT scan which she described as” it lit up like a Christmas tree.” Indeed the scan lights up bright, showing lesions in the spine, ribs, pelvis, lung, liver and the opposite breast…. What happened to her? (page 40).
This is indeed a real tragedy of “modern, scientifically tested, evidence-based medicine.” Helen received a bone marrow transplant without being told all that was known about it, and, more important, all that was unknown. She got the transplant because she was insured and doctors could convert her suffering into cash (page 45).
Jane (not real name, H-237) was 43 years old when she found a lump in her right breast in mid-2009. Then the lump “disappeared.” In October 2009, she “found” the lump again. She went to her GP doctor who examined her and said there was nothing amiss. But to be “safe” she was asked to go and see a specialist.
A mammogram was done – there was nothing. But USG showed a 1.2 cm lump. A biopsy was performed confirming that it was malignant. On 21 December 2009, Jane underwent a lumpectomy in addition to removing 14 of her lymph nodes. No cancer was found in the nodes. It was a Stage 1 cancer. Immunochemistry indicated that the tumour was negative for ER, PR but strongly positive for c-erbB-2. P53 was strongly over-expressed.
Jane was asked to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The oncologist handed Jane a computer handout below:
1. Recurrence at 10 years
2. Survival at 10 years
Jane was told that the benefit of chemotherapy and radiotherapy would be 16 percent – i.e. 16 out of 100 women are alive and without cancer because of the combined therapy. Jane was told that the package of chemotherapy + Herceptin would cost RM 120,000 while radiotherapy cost an additional RM 35,000.
Jane promptly refused further medical treatments and came to seek our help on 10 January 2010. Jane told us that she refused chemotherapy because she did not want to lose her hair. In addition, her mother-in-law had lymphoma and died after two cycles of chemotherapy.
Jane was prescribed Capsule A, C-tea, Breast M and Breast L tea. Jane continued to take the herbs and in May 2013, I got to see Jane again and reviewed her case. She was doing well and happy. Below is our conversation that day.
Let me ask you to reflect seriously on the following quotations:
Japanese researchers wrote this: A high rate of brain metastases has been reported among patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER2)-over-expressing metastatic breast cancer who were treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin).
Herceptin combined with standard chemotherapy will have as many as 4% of women who take the regimen develop symptoms of congestive heart failure, compared with less than 1% of women given chemotherapy alone. Herceptin has been in use only a few years. We don’t know what will happen 10 or 20 years from now. http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/opinions/10503/
Related post on breast cancer cases for you to reflect on:
Breast Cancer: Herceptin and Brain Metastasis. She might have won many battles but ultimately she lost her war. https://cancercaremalaysia.com/2012/09/20/breast-cancer-herceptin-and-brain-metastasis/. SA was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in March 2006 and about two years later, it progressed to Stage 4 – with metastases in her lungs and liver. From May to 2008 she received Herceptin. The cancer spread to her brain. In January 2009, SA fainted and was unconscious. She died.
Yee was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer with no lymph node involvement in October 2005. She underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy. About 9 months later, the cancer recurred in the right side of her neck. The cancer had spread to her lungs. Yee had more chemotherapy including Herceptin. After all treatments failed she received radiation. Yee died in early February 2009. http://cancercaremalaysia.com/2010/12/08/yee-died-after-extensive-and-costly-medical-treatments/
Reflect seriously on the tragic cases above. Do you see a common trend? Yes. They had breast cancer and had undergone all the medical treatments recommended by their doctors. And the results? Disaster.
All were dead within 3 to 4 years.
While they were alive, they spent time in and out of the hospital, moving from one treatment to another with no cure in sight. And it the process endure the suffering and misery of the treatments.
All received Herceptin and all ended with brain cancer.
Ask this question: Jane had a dangerous type of breast cancer – they call it a triple negative. After surgery she opted for the CA Care Therapy – taking herbs and change of diet. She refused chemotherapy and radiation. What happen to her now? She is doing fine, leading a happy life. The fibroid and ovarian cyst that had recurred after a previous surgery are gone after taking the herbs. The non-cancerous cysts in her breasts have grown smaller. In short, Jane’s health is good and she does not need to endure any suffering along the way.
Come December 2013, Jane would have lived 4 years of healthy life. Others who took the medical path were dead by then.
Okay, you may want to ask me, if I were to take Jane’s path – would you guarantee me that I would be successful like Jane? Unfortunately no! Healing of cancer is about you – the human being. You have to work for your own healing, YOURSELF. Nobody can take on that responsibility. And you must be fully committed to what you are doing. And that does not come easy. It is not available on demand either. No amount of money can buy you healing. Certainly NOT for those who are only seeking for an easy way out, instant cure or a magic bullet. Take heed of the wise words of Dr. Susan Love.

After her first visit in January 2010, we got to see Jane three times in 2010. Then Jane was out of our radar. We did not get to see her again until 24 May 2013, i.e. almost three years later.
Below are readings of Jane’s meridian energy as measured by the AcuGraph.

Listen to Jane explaining what life was like before, when and after she had breast cancer.
Jane was leading a life of extreme stress. Her AcuGraph readings in April and September of 2010 showed severe energy imbalances and we advised Jane to lead a more relaxed life if she wanted to survive her cancer. Jane got the message and in August 2011 Jane decided to retire from her job. And gone were her work stress and job responsibility phobia. She could sleep well. The AcuGraph reading on May 2013 showed it all.
Acknowledgment: CA Care records its sincere thanks to Dr. Adrian Larsen, President of Miridia Technology Inc., USA, for his generosity in donating a unit of AcuGraph 4 for our research. This enabled us to provide “AcuGraph reading” for our cancer patients without charge.
Jane (not real name, H-237) was 43 years old when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. Earlier Jane had undergone surgery to remove a small ovarian cyst. Unfortunately an ultrasound in August 2010 showed:
The uterus contains a 1.2 cm fibroid in the anterior wall.
A 3 cm thin walled cyst in the left ovary which appears benign.
Jane was prescribed GY 5 and GY 6 herbal teas in addition to the other herbs she was taking for her breast cancer.
Jane continued to take the herbs and in May 2013, I got to see Jane again and reviewed her case. She was doing well and happy. The fibroid and cyst were gone. Below is our conversation that day.
Two Friends Died After Medical Treatments: Same Cancer, Same Doctor and Same Hospital.
WC (E112) is a 59-year-old lady. Sometime in December 2012 she discovered a lump in her left breast. A mammogram on 26 April 2013 showed a 2.4 x 3.4 x 5 cm irregular and poorly marginated, hypoechoic mass. The appearance is compatible with carcinoma. Left axillary and left infraclavicular lymphadenopathy noted (size 6 mm – 2.5 cm).
CT scan was done the next day. The result confirmed the presence of a 4.87 x 3.06 cm mass in the left breast with enlarged left axillary lymph nodes. These are suggestive of left breast malignant lesion with lymph nodes metastasis.
On 2 May 2013, WC underwent a mastectomy.
Histology confirmed an infiltrating ductal carcinoma, grade 3, pT3. Three of eight nodes examined are involved with tumour. Surgical margins are not involved. Five of nine nodes axillary nodes are involved with tumour. The tumour is negative for both estrogen and progesterone receptors.
WC was asked to undergo 6 cycles of chemotherapy costing about RM 17,000. In addition she had to undergo 21 times radiation treatment. In preparation for chemotherapy, WC was asked to install a chemo-port which cost RM 3,500. WC declined this.
But WC was facing a huge dilemma. Two of her friends also had breast cancer. They saw the same doctor at the same hospital as she. Both of them had undergone the same treatments which she was asked to undergo. Both of them had died of the treatment. WC knew then that the treatment which she was asked to undergo would not cure her. The daughter was very much against her undergoing this medical treatment.
WC had already paid RM 9,000 as deposit for her radiotherapy. WC’s daughter came to know about CA Care and came to seek our help. She told us that her mother was due to start her radiation treatment the next day but after talking to us, she decided to forgo the treatment.
Based on her medical reports, we prescribed WC Capsule A, C and D, C-tea and Breast M. In view of her lymph node involvement she was also asked to take Lympho 1 and 2.
On 31 May 2013, WC, her husband and daughter came to see us again. WC had started to take the herbs without any problem. During this first encounter with WC, I explained to her that based on the report, the cancer had already spread to her lymph nodes. She is at a greater risk compared to others. Why is that that she refused to undergo medical treatment since she had already paid a deposit of RM 9,000? In fact, the hospital refunded her only RM 2,500 for defaulting.
Listen to what WC has got to say.
Chris: Your condition is risky. But are you happy with what you want to do?
WC: I am okay.
C: Why don’t you want to go for radiation and chemotherapy?
WC: Two of my friends died. They had breast cancer, went to the same doctor at the same hospital. They did chemo and radiotherapy and they died. I am so afraid. My daughter told me not to go for the medical treatment. If I have to spend money and then I die, I prefer not to do any treatment. Why spend money, suffer and then die?
C: Are these people your friends?
WC: Yes, my own friends. I saw them. They did everything and they were not cured. So why should I spend money and suffer.
C: Let me ask you. If you do the treatment and you die. If you don’t do the treatment and you die. Which one do you prefer?
WC: I say do nothing is better. In the case of one of my friends, the cancer had spread to her bones. In the other, the cancer went to her brain. Doctors don’t tell you all these. They only ask you to do the treatment. They say the treatment is good for you.
C: Don’t you believe them?
WC: I was not sure and did not know what to do. My daughter told me not to go for the treatment.
C: Did you ask if the treatment was going to cure you?
WC: No, I was afraid to ask that. He would scold me for that. When I did not go for the treatment the doctor even called me at home and asked me to come for treatment. He said I must do the treatment.
Husband: I asked and the doctor said he could not give any guarantee.
C: Relax. Take it easy. Perhaps doing nothing could be a better option for you. You have to learn how to take care of yourself. Take care of your diet. Then exercise. And then don’t think too much after that.
WC: Okay. My children are all grown up. I don’t have to worry anymore.
C: That’s a very good attitude.

For sixteen years, since we started CA Care, we too were trying our best to educate people – providing them with information which we thought they need to know. Some people seemed to benefit from our efforts. After reading what we wrote we practise what they know! But for some others, after reading they feel educated but they shy away from doing something for themselves. They prefer to let the “experts” tell them what to do.
In this case, I am really amazed that WC and her family were willing to lose RM 6,500 rather than going ahead with radiotherapy. To some of us, this could have been a foolish decision. When I met WC, the first question I asked was if she was happy with what she was doing. She must be at peace with herself. Did she make a wrong decision? Read what Dr. Susan Love – one of the world’s most outstanding breast cancer surgeon – has got to say:
The file of KT (S346) was on my table. She was a 42-year-old Indonesia lady who had been battling with her breast cancer for about 12 years. I was taking my time wanting to write her story. But today, 29 May 2013, I received this e-mail from her husband.
Dear Madame Beng Im , Dr. Chris Teo, Dengan sedih dan menyesal kami informasikan bahwa KT sudah meninggal dunia Selasa 21May at 02.55 a.m. (early morning). Dan sudah dimakamkan Kamis 23May, at 11 a.m.
Friday, 17 May kesehatan drop, makan dikit/tak ada selera , minum obat herb tea juga tidak mampu. Monday 20 May at night, so weak. We carry to hospital. Dokter said that she was in bad condition, no hope. She just stayed in hospital 1night only. Tuesday 21 May, at 02.55 she was gone / dead. Many thanks for CA Care’s support for my wife.
About two months ago, 22 March 2013, KT and her husband came to seek our help. She stayed in Penang for almost a week. This was her tragic story.
About one and half years after her second child, KT found a 1.8 cm lump in her right breast. On 16 May 2001 a biopsy was performed and confirmed that it was malignant – a ductal carcinoma, positive for estrogen and C-cerb-B2 receptors but negative for progestrone.
On 19 May 2001, KT underwent a lumpectomy at a cancer hospital in Jakarta. It was a Stage 1 cancer. From June to October 2001, KT received 6 cycles of chemotherapy, followed by 25 sessions of radiation treatment in November to December 2001. She was not prescribed any medication.
About three years later, 12 July 2004, the cancer recurred at the previous operation site. A biopsy confirmed it was a ductal carcinoma again. USG and bone scan were performed. No metastasis was detected.
On 21 September 2004, a mastectomy of the right breast was performed at another hospital. And this was followed by 20 radiation treatment. The doctor suggested ovarian ablation and more chemotherapy but KT refused the treatment.
About five years later, in 2009, the operation site developed an open wound with recurrence of cancer around the wound. USG and bone scan on 20 November 2010 did not show any metastasis.
On 3 December 2010, a biopsy was performed of the regrowth and histology indicated lobular carcinoma. The doctor suggested chemotherapy but KT refused the treatment. She did nothing after that.
In June to August 2011, KT went to China for treatment. PET/CT scan showed the wound was 14 x 12 cm and the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, lungs and bone. This was a Stage 4 cancer.
In China, KT received the following treatment:
10 June 2011:
Patient received iodine seeds implantation and cryosurgery in the lung,
Iodine seeds implantation in the axillary fossa metastatic lymph nodes.
17 June 2011: Patient received recurrence tumour resection, dermatoplasty and PDT (photodynamic therapy).
16 July 2011: Patient received re-dermatoplasty in the back ulcerates.
15 June to 23 June 2011: Patient received DC-CIK immunotherapy.
20 September 2011: Patient received re-dermatoplaty in the back ulcerates.
27 September 2011: Patient received iodine seeds implantation in the scapular region and left costal bone.
KT was again asked to undergo chemotherapy. She again refused the treatment. But she agreed to take Tamoxifen.
On her return to Indonesia, KT started to seek out alternative therapies. She tried sour sop leaves, Mahkota dewa, benalu kopi, etc. She also tried radiofrequency jacket.
On 22 March 2013, KT and her husband came to seek our help.
Comments
When I saw the picture of her breast, I must say I was terribly upset. How could such a thing happen? The first thing that came to mind was, Was this not a work of a bomoh or quack? After all, too often we read in the newspapers that things like this only happen to patients who go and seek the help of alternative healers. But no, the reality was that she sought medical help from the very beginning after discovering a 1.8 cm lump in her breast. And mind you, it was an early stage cancer – Stage 1. I could not understand how she could end up like this.
What can we learn from this tragic episode? Ask these questions:
Is medical treatment of cancer really that proven or scientific?
When you have cancer – can you really achieve a cure?
What could have happened if she were to take a non-medical route?
Robert G. Wright, founder of the American Anti-Cancer Institute wrote in his book, Killing Cancer Not People:
Slash, Poison, Burn. The Big Three. What you probably don’t know is that they have no possibility of healing your cancer. Let me repeat that. They haveabsolutely no possibility of healing your cancer. They actually cause cancer.
The saddest and most tragic part of all is that we’re not only dying of the “disease” now, we’re dying from the treatments. Cancer cannot be cured with drugs, surgery, chemo or radiation; not now, not ever, not possible.
When it comes to cancer, your doctor / oncologist will fail you.
It is up to you what you want to do with the above statements by Robert Wright. Looking back over the 16 years helping cancer patients, I must say such episode happen often enough. It is NOT unusual or exceptional.
