Fighting lung cancer with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy failed. One billion rupiahs gone. Herbs helped him!

Aman (not his real name), fifty-five years old, had been a smoker for the past thirty years.  His problems started with fevers, loss of appetite and loss of energy. There was no cough. He consulted a doctor in his hometown (Indonesia) and was told he had tuberculosis (TB).  He was prescribed TB medication but it was not effective.

    Not satisfied, Aman came to a private hospital in Penang for further management. A CT scan on 22 October 2019 showed a lung mass measuring 4.6 x 4.8 x 6.0 cm. A biopsy indicated a Large Cell Lung Carcinoma.

    Aman underwent the following treatments:

1. Nine cycles of chemotherapy.  The drugs used were: Cisplatin + Eptoposide.

2. Thirty-three times of radiotherapy.

3.Twenty-four injections of immunotherapy. The drug used was Imfinzi or durvalumab. Each dose of Imfinzi cost IDR40 million. This was given every two weeks. This means Aman was on Imfinzi for two years.

Did all these medical treatments cure Aman? Unfortunately, the answer is NO.

A PET scan on 26 July 2022 showed a 2.1 cm metabolic active lesion seen in the lobe of right lung (see image above). This showed the tumour did not go away! Aman was told to do another biopsy to reconfirm that this mass is still a cancer! However, the oncologist told Aman that there would be NO more chemo or immunotherapy for him. The only option left is surgery.

The family was disappointed having spent more than one billion rupiahs for the above treatments that failed.     Aman came to seek our help. He gave up further medical treatment and was started on our herbs. It has been almost two years now – Aman is still healthy and leads a normal life (see photo below taken in May 2024).  He plays golf regularly. I once asked him, Is there any other problems? He jokingly answered: Just money problem!

Ask this question: Aman spent three years undergoing chemotherapy, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. The family spent more than a billion rupiahs for these treatments. What did he get?

The tumour shrunk from 4.6 cm to 2.1 cm. The oncologist gave up – no more treatment – and asked Aman to go for surgery! Is that a good answer? Take note, is this all the scientifically proven cancer treatment can offer?

Undergoing immunotherapy (the state-of-the-art treatment that is being promoted today) creates NO “magic”? But a change of diet and lifestyle plus taking of herbs restored Aman’s health! And more important, at a cost of peanuts!
