Brain Cancer: She Was in a Coma

Daisy (not real name), then a 21-year-old female, presented with vomiting and headaches. A CTscan indicated obstructive hydrocephalus. Her condition returned to normalcy after the installation of V-P shunts. Barely one and a half years later Daisy suffered a relapse. Subsequent imaging indicated tumors in the brain and this was diagnosed as pineoblastoma. Daisy was in a coma and had to be warded in the intensive care unit of the hospital. Medically she was written off. Doctors told her parents to find whatever “cures” they thought would help Daisy. A stranger told her parents about CA Care herbs. Two weeks after taking the herbs, Daisy emerged from coma and was discharged from the hospital. She suffered total memory loss and had to learn how to read and do the basic household chores all over again. Daisy remained well for more than 5 years. She only took herbs.

Daisy said: While in the hospital, mine was a dark world. I did not see any images, and I did not feel any pain. And I did not remember hearing anything too. But although I was in a coma, I was not brain-dead. According to my mother, I did react to what was going on around me in the ward. When my friends came they cried and told me not to leave them yet. My mother said my eyes were also full of tears when my friends cried. At one time, I became very angry. At times, I laughed. When my judo coach from Korea came, I talked to him in Korean much to the amazement of those around me. There were times when I asked for pizza, satay, etc. Nevertheless, I could not remember all these events.

My mother said that after I took your herbs, I started to pass out a lot of urine and it was dark and dirty. My parents panicked and called Uncle Patoppoi to check what had happened. Uncle Patoppoi asked my parents to continue giving me the herbs. My friends told me that while I was in the ICU, my skin peeled off like a moulting snake. They have to apply oil to my skin.

After taking your herbs for a while, one day I started to talk. My mother was beside my bed and she usually would be singing hymns. I said to her: “Oh, your hymn is out of tune” and I laughed. People around me were astonished and called the doctor and the nurses. I was alive after all. From then, I started to recover. This incident happened about a week or two after taking your herbs.

I came out of the ICU and I was in the regular ward. I spent about a month doing physiotherapy. I remember telling the nurse who wheeled me to the physiotherapy room: “Where are you going to bring me. I am not sick. I am alright”. This is the first incident that I remember, the rest were all blank.

I lost my ability to move around and to do things. When I saw a toy block, I thought that I could pick it up. No, I did not have the strength to do that. During physiotherapy I had to learn to do things all over again like a young child. I had to learn the alphabets, A, B, C. I rearranged the toy building blocks from one place to another.

My memory came on and off. Sometimes I remembered things, sometimes I did not. There was a doll in my home. I asked my mother: “who’s doll is that?” In fact, it was mine and it was with me all the time when I was in the hospital. My mother had to teach me how to sweep the floor, wipe the table and do other house chores. Slowly, I regained all these basic skills.

I helped my mother to sell things in her shop. One customer paid me 500 Rupiah. I gave him back 1000 Rupiah as change!

I was home for almost a year. I did not suffer any headache or pain. However, there was one occasion when I had seizure. This caused my parents to panic. But it only occurred once and then everything was back to normal again. There was only once when I vomited while taking a walk with my father. Apart from those two events, I was recovering without any problem. After one year I became normal again. In mid-2000, I decided to dedicate my life to God. So I left home to study at a seminary (Sekolah Tinggi Telogi Berita Hihup) in Solo, West Jawa.

Since your discharge from the hospital, I did not see any doctors at all. I was only taking your herbs and nothing else.

Declined Surgery Only On Herbs

Sunan, a 35-year-old man from Thailand was diagnosed with brain tumour in May 2002. The family declined surgery and gave him herbs instead. We met up with Sunan in Pattaya, Thailand, in November 2002 and found him to be doing very well. He had since gone back to his normal work.

In May 2002, Sunan fell down and was unconscious. He was referred to three hospitals. There was a tumour in the brain. The secretary of Sunan’s boss called for advice. She wanted to know if Sunan needed to do a biopsy and then undergo surgery later. For this was what the doctors suggested to the family.

I responded that they had to answer to these two questions:
(a) Can surgery cure? The answer was No.
(b) Can surgery remove all of the tumour? The answer was No.

If both the answers were negative, what then was the use of surgery? Of course the doctors have their reasons. The family decided that Sunan NOT to undergo further medical intervention. So, no biopsy was done. Sunan took herbs instead.

Two weeks on the herbs, Sunan showed improvements. He was able to walk whereas before this, his walk was unbalanced. He was able to see clearly without double vision.

He could see in all directions whereas previously, he could only see at eye level and not sideways or up and down. His personality changed. He became talkative whereas previously, he was a quiet man.

Brain Tumour Shrunk With Herbs

·    In 2002 had fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus) and was diagnosed with pineocytoma.

·    A V-P shunt (tubing) was installed but she suffered relapse six months later.

·    Reinstalled V-P shunt because earlier one was wrongly placed.

·    No further treatment ~ wait and see.

·    In 2004 ~  tumour grew in size. Neurosurgen suggested radiotherapy as growing tumour could kill her. Declined radiotherapy and opted for herbs.

Progression of tumour growth from 2002 to 2007

Date of MRI                    Tumour size (cm)

1 Nov. 2002                     1.5 x 2.0 x 2.1

9 Oct. 2003                      2.0 x 2.6 x 2.6

8 Oct. 2004                       2.5 x 2.7 x 3.1

Wait and see policy. Tumour size increased by 231% (?)

Question: Will the tumour grow further next year?

Started on Herbs, 17 October 2004

Result: Tumour size decreased by 43 % (?)  Pasien leads a normal life.

 

 

An Evening With Ella: Our Patient, Our Friend

At the middle of September 2009, Ella and her friend, Helen, came to Penang for a week’s holiday by theBatu Feringghi Beach. It was our pleasure to welcome her to this Island Paradise. Ella visited our center on Friday afternoon and got to meet some patients during our CA Care session. One evening we sat down to talk after a buffet dinner at the Park Royal. Listen to what we talked about and at the same time learn some survival tips from this full-of-life-friend from Melbourne.

How does the herbal tea taste like?

Yak, horrible isn’t it?

A concoction of snake venom and mud water!

A special brew from the Snake Oil Peddler of Malaysia? (That is what people in the West like to call people across the fence from them!)

The tea can’t be that bad if you want to walk through life with much laughter …

Oh no, three doctors misdiagnosed your problem?

That could happen even in Melbourne?

It took a year before the fourth doctor found out what was really wrong with you?

That happened in Melbourne, Australia?


Oh no, again.

No chemo after surgery – never ever!

Doctor said she was a brave lady.

Indeed it takes a lot more courage to say no to chemo and decide to take the alternative path.

The surgeon said: No chemo, you have three months. With chemo, it would be two-and-a-half years.

What?

What would your common sense say to that?

You have a choice.

After three months of “house arrest” life came back to normalcy again.

She is very much alive and enjoying life to the fullest.

That includes having a one-week holiday in Penang.

And that happened almost a year after surgery and after having refused chemo!

Missing out on chemo was not that bad after all!

She had lived three times over what her doctor gave her!


Given a choice – which one would you choose?

Do chemo and live for two-and-a-half year inclusive of the side effects,

OR, have a solid one-year life of happiness without chemo?


My Take

We are glad that we are able to help Ella in her time of need. We are even more happy and grateful to the Almighty to see her last week – so well and full of life. There are a few things we can learn from Ella.

  1. Patients have choices or options. You choose what you believe in and live with the consequences of your choice – for good or for bad. There is no point trying to point fingers at others when things go wrong. Remember, it was your choice. Ella knew what she wanted. She empowered herself well ahead of time about what cancer really is and what chemo could do to her. She was not blind when she made her choice.
  2. Ella was so lively and positive in her attitude. That is the way it should be. Do what you have to do first, to help yourself and then be happy with it. Live a positive life.
  3. Ella said she wanted to prove her doctor wrong! Good to have something to look forward to, a wish in life so to say. At CA Care we have seen such predictions proven wrong most of the time. But let us not blame the doctors. They only say things based on what they know or have been taught. And that is all there is to it. I have since realized about the tight system or box that they are brought up in. Patients who choose to go into the box with them have a limited view about the well known limited choices of surgery, chemo or radiation. Get out of the box and you see a totally different view for your problem. When we see Ella again in Penang, she would have proven her doctor wrong!
  4. Christmas time is party time with all the so-called great and wonderful food. Ella enjoyed the celebration but chose to stick to her healthy diet. Many patients don’t have that will power. Last night a lung patient came and said: Oh, the Hari Raya – we went home to our kampong and I “tak tahan” (cannot stand) seeing those foods. So I ate some, here and there. I suffered after I came home.

Ella is not a kiasu (afraid-to-lose-want-to-win-all-the-time) type. Kiasus like to ask a lot of questions but it is  no use – they don’t believe in what we do.

Our therapy is not easy to follow. It is not for any Tom, Dick and Harry. Is not for the faint hearted either. Patients need to be brave and be fully commitment to find their own healing. There is no magic bullet. It requires a change in lifestyle, diet and attitude towards life. We can show you the way, but you have to travel the road yourself. For that reason, it is a pleasure and our privilege to be able to help such a person like Ella – not a kiasu but ever ready to help herself. And we share the joy of her healing.

An E-mail from Ella

15 October 2009

Hi Chris and Im,

I have viewed the video and it is fine.  Thank you, it would be good if it gives people hope to be open minded and believe that cancer need not be a death sentence, if they choose to adopt the more natural and none invasive approach.

They need to question their doctors: Why they condemn the natural way of treating cancer; Where do they get the proof that these treatments do not work. If it is from their medical journals then this is a bias conclusion as it is in the interest of their profession to dominate the sickness industry.

We have been brainwashed for too long into thinking that this INDUSTRY has our best interest at heart. If this was so then they would not seek out and destroy the real facts and evidence which has been proven to assist the many illnesses we see in our society to-day.

In my research, I have found that the people whom are speaking out against the use of chemo and radiation are in fact medical doctors and scientists themselves, who see the same miserable results time and time again.

Sadly their findings are rarely printed in the notable medical journals like the LANCET etc.

Thinking of you both with much love, Ella.

Special Note

Ella was told by her surgeon that if she did not go chemotherapy, she would have only three months to live. With chemo and radiation, she would have two and a half years.

Time has proved that the surgeon’s prognosis is wrong! Ella is on our herbs for the past three years and is doing fine up to this day.

E-mail of 21 October 2010

Hi Chris and Im,

All is well here in Australia and we are all looking forward to some warmth as it has been a long winter.  Right now the birds are singing as I have just fed them their daily feed of wild bird seed. We can learn a valuable lesson from them as no matter if they are big or small, they all get their share.  It was like when I lived in Africa and had the opportunity to witness the animals come to the water holes at night and although they hunt each other for food by day, it seems they have an instinct to share the water as they all know how important it is to survival. If only we humans could adopt the practice of sharing rather than the greed which has taken over.

Some days I just sit in a quiet area of my garden and I can picture you both in your home or clinic doing the good work you do.  Bless you both.

Next year we may be moving home as we want a bigger garden so as we can grow our own food as it is getting harder and harder to obtain good clean food. Our gardens here are facing the wrong way and do not collect enough sunshine.  We have a pool where all the sun is.

I am itching to return to Penang so next year. I will try and make it happen. I down load all your stories for future references. They are amazing.

My thoughts and love are with you each day, keep well.  Love Ella  xxx

 

June Regained Her Health After 8 Days on e-Therapy

June (not real name) was 42-years old when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in December 2006. A TAHBO surgery was performed. The histopathology report confirmed a bilateral ovarian adenocarcinoma with metastasis to the omentum.

June underwent 6 cycles of chemotherapy and at the same time was started on CA Care herbs. Unlike others, she did not suffer from the side effects of chemo. Unfortunately in December 2008, a scan showed tumour recurrence, with a 2.6 x 2.1 x 3.2 cm mass seen in the medial part of the spleen – this was probably a splenic metastasis.

June was asked to undergo more chemo. In no uncertain term her doctor told her: If you do not do chemotherapy, within the next 3 months your condition would deteriorate to the extent that I would not be able to help you anymore. You are taking your life for granted. June adamantly declined chemo and stayed on with the herbs. Three months passed, June was well. After six months June presented herself to her doctor. During this visit the doctor asked June to find out from Professor Teo what herbs she was taking. Then at another meeting with her doctor, June was asked if she would continue to take the herbs or would consider chemo.

June was well until about March 2010 when she started to develop problems. I requested June’s husband to bring her to Penang for a week to undergo our e-Therapy. So June came on 8 March 2010 and the first e-Therapy was started right away. At the time I was rather concerned if June was able to even up walk up to my study upstairs. Her health condition was not good. After three days her facial expression changed from pale to bright and after 8 days she was as fit as a fiddle. It was most satisfying to see the brilliant smile in her face. She was so full of energy.

June went home to Kuala Lumpur and the next day went around shopping!

The following are excerpts of our video conversation.

Chris: Before you came to see us … that was last Monday (8 March2010) and this is now Wednesday (17 March) … compared to now, is there any difference in your health?

J: Yes, I feel very normal now.

C: When you came, how did you feel?

J: Short of breath, very tired, very sickly, stomachaches and pains, could not walk properly, very bad appetite, difficult to sleep.

C: Okay, all these … like appetite, how is it now?

J: Very good.

C: Can you sleep well?

J: Yes.

C: Walking?

J: No problem.

C: You said you were tired?

J: This morning not too bad but yesterday after 3 p.m. onwards … flat (Note: this was due to the side effects of the e- therapy).

C: You believe that (the therapy) helped you?

J: Yes.

C: You feel much better now?

J: Yes, much better.

C: You inspire me … honestly, I don’t believe in this (therapy) … well, but when I look at your face, I know that it was good.

Side effects of e-Therapy

C: Now… flat (out tired) and aches in the bones?

J: This was the second time … after the treatment. Yesterday was worse than the first time.

Husband: Yesterday she had fevers.

A Chat with the Husband

H: I came on Monday. Today it is Tuesday – 8 days of therapy. (Before she came here) on Saturday and Sunday, she slept the whole day. She did not have any strength at all. Then there was no appetite.

C: That was when you were in KL (Kuala Lumpur)?

H: Yes, on Monday night was the treatment. Tuesday there were some pains and after that on Wednesday there were no more pains.

C: You feel that it (the therapy) helps her?

H: It helps. No more pains and now she can eat a lot.

C: I do not believe – but then I become a believer. It is better that way than to believe first and start to bluff people that it works. You have to start from not believing anything, see for yourself … then believe!

 

Dying In the ICU After Surgery for Ovarian Cancer and Chemo for Lymphoma

(May this failing be a “Guiding Light” to those who come after her)

Chinese New Year (January/February 2009) was a time of celebration. Wan, a 30-year-old, married female with a 2-year-old child, visited her mother in Kedah. She enjoyed the food that mom cooked for that day. Wan was OK then – healthy as mom’s eyes can see. But after the meal, she felt some “wind” in her stomach. Mom suggested that she consulted a doctor. She did not get to see any doctor until 2 weeks later. Unexpected, this was the beginning of a tragic road to her quick death?

Wan’s mother and auntie came to seek our help on the morning of 25 March 2009. This was what had happened.

Wan went to see a doctor in a private hospital. She was told that she had ovarian cancer and needed an operation. Wan then moved on to another private hospital believing that another doctor was better able to handle her case. On 16 February 2009, Wan underwent an operation to remove her so-called cancer in the ovary. It was a total hysterectomy. But Wan’s condition did not improve in spite of the surgery. Her stomach was still bloated. Later she became breathless. While still in the hospital for a week, her lungs were filled with fluid. The doctor tapped out the fluid and she was able to breath.

Wan was still not well. She felt heaty. Wan was referred to an oncologist of the hospital for subsequent management. This doctor said Wan’s problem was actually due to lymphoma and the primary was not the ovary. The doctor also warned that Wan must undergo chemotherapy immediately. There would be no time to wait because the cancer was aggressive and was very serious.

On Monday, 2 March 2009, Wan was started on chemotherapy. The next day (Tuesday) she was alright. However, in the early morning (about 2.30 a.m.) of Wednesday, 4 March 2009, Wan started to have pains in her abdomen. The nurse gave her an injection for gastric. Later, the pains became unbearable and she was given a pain killer injection. On the morning of Wednesday, Wan started to have diarrhea. Later she had a fit, ground her teeth, became breathless and at one time her heart stopped beating. At 10 a.m. of Wednesday she was admitted into the ICU. Her face and hands were swollen. She was given oxygen and the doctor induced her into a coma and she became unconscious. On Saturday, 21 March her lungs had “bubbles” and she could not breathe. Her doctor had to fit tubes on both side of her chest to drain fluid out.

So from 2 March until 25 March 2009, Wan was in the ICU struggling to stay alive.

Just before Wan’s mother and aunty came to see us, they were told by the doctor that Wan’s chance of survival was very minimal.  The family can expect her to die any time.

See the video and read the transcript of our conversation.

Mother: She was admitted on Sunday. On Monday they operated on her. It was a total hysterectomy. However, her tummy was still big after the operation and she was breathless. On checking they found there was fluid in her lungs. The fluid was drained. She felt better after that. But she always felt hot. It is not a fever. The air-conditioner was set at 10 degrees and she would still be perspiring. On further checking, they said it is lymphoma.

Chris: How long was she in the hospital? Has she gone home?

M: No, she hasn’t gone home at all. She is still in hospital. It’s been more than a month now.  She was there since February.

Aunty: Since the operation, she hasn’t gone home. After her lung problem, she was referred to another doctor.

C: After draining the fluid from the lungs, she was okay?

M & A: Yes

C: Why was she still in hospital?

A: Because they wanted to give her chemo.

C: She was not allowed to go home first?

A: They say cannot wait. It is a very aggressive type. It is already very serious. Chemo must be done immediately.

C: When was the chemo done?

A: Only once, on Monday.

M: After that she was alright. She was alright on Tuesday. But at night, early on Wednesday morning around 2:30 a.m., she complained of stomach pains until daybreak.  She was given injections for gastric, as well as a pain killer. She had diarrhea. Her stools were very dark. She had diarrhea again from 7.00 am to 8.00 am. She had pains in her stomach again. She asked me to get the doctor to check her quickly as she could not stand the pains anymore. She was struggling in bed, kicking the bed very hard. She was biting and grinding her teeth. It looked as if she was having a fit.

When the doctor came, I explained what had happened (the events that took place throughout the night and morning). He did a routine check on her and left. He did not answer my questions or say anything. He just left.

I was waiting for some pain killer to be administered, but later when a nurse passed by, I asked about the pain killer and she explained that the pain killer had already been given the night before. So, they could not give her another pain injection now. Then she just went away.

I then requested for my daughter to be cleaned up. And as the nurse was cleaning her, she started to feel breathless. Then suddenly her head turned to one side, and a little foamy saliva started to drool out of her mouth. I screamed and a sister came in to adjust her drip and a couple of things. Actually, her heart stopped beating for a while.

C: Her heart stopped?

M: Yes, it did. They revived her. (by banging, etc – we were not allowed to see). An hour later, about 10:00 a.m. she was brought to the ICU. She is there until today. She is still there – unconscious. When they brought her in, her face was already swollen. The neck, shoulder and arms were swollen too. She looked very different. The swelling subsided on the third day. And now, she looked very thin.

C: How is she now?

A: Still unconscious. Never wake up yet. It is already about 20 days.

M: Cannot let her wake up. She is given oxygen. When the oxygen is removed, her pressure dropped. They kept putting her to sleep. We’ve never spoken to her since she went in.

A: I spoke to the doctor. He said she cannot let her wake up as the oxygen pressure is very high. She may not be able to take the high pressure. That is why they made sure she is totally unconscious.

M: Last Saturday, they drained more fluid from her lungs. It looks like there is very little chance of saving her. This morning, the doctor told us to be prepared. The doctor said her condition is very serious and the cancer will spread very fast.

A: I was wondering why the chemo must be done when she was still so weak.

M: Actually after the operation, she was alright. She could watch television and was normal. The nurse asked her to get up and walk and she got up and walked – just a little breathless at first (Mother cried).

C: If it is possible, you can start by giving her Capsule A and Juvo (food supplement made from a variety of beans). If after 2 or 3 days, there is some progress, then we can slowly add more herbs. It is a very difficult situation. What is going to happen the next few days no one can tell. But we will try our best.

A: They already conceded they could not do anything else anymore for her.

Comments

The total cost of her treatment as of 24 March 2009 is RM 194,730.13. Indeed it is very expensive to die in this modern day scientific age.

Can any body answer this question: Her mother told us: When the doctor came, I explained what had happened (the events that took place throughout the night and morning). He did a routine check on her and left. He did not answer my questions or say anything. He just left. Why did the doctor just left without answering her question? In a similar case, Sam and his wife were coerced into consenting to a liver operation on Sam. The surgeon even hugged Sam’s wife and assured her everything was going to be alright. At the same time warned that he must be operated on immediately. But after the cancer had recurred, the surgeon became “hostile” and did not even want to talk to them. Why is this so?

There is an Arab saying: Haste is from the Devil. Wan did not even have a chance to recuperate properly from her surgery. She was immediately asked to go for chemotherapy. She was told the cancer was aggressive. How true is this? Before she came into the hospital she was alright. What made the cancer aggressive? Or is this a spin – a veiled threat to instill fear into patients so that they would agree to chemotherapy?

The doctor’s medical report indicated that Wan required an emergency dialysis. Her renal function had reversed. What had her kidney failed? What could be the cause? The toxic chemo-drugs? Wan did not have such a problem before.

 

Vegetable-State Terminal Cancer Brought Back to Life with Herbs

Poh is a 54-year old female. She had a 14 cm tumour in her distal sigmoid colon. She underwent surgery. The cancer was staged as Duke’s C. About two weeks after surgery, Poh underwent twenty-five times of radiation treatment and at the same time took the oral chemo-drug, Xeloda. Within a week after being on Xeloda, Poh became uncomfortable, her heart beat rapidly and she had difficulty breathing. The doctor stopped her Xeloda and replaced it with UFT. Before Poh could even finish a course of UFT, her legs started to weaken and her entire person lost strength. She could not walk and had to be confined to the wheelchair.

MRI of her brain did not show any evidence of metastasis. There were, however, disc bulges at C5/C6, L3/L4, L4/L5 and L5/S1. This was diagnosed as lumbar spondylosis.

Poh’s husband and son came to seek our help on 4 November 2005. Tears welled up in his eyes as he related his wife’s story. He said: “After the surgery, my wife was alright. She was normal – could walk around perfectly, could eat and do the normal chores in the house. It was only after she started radiotherapy and took the oral chemo-drugs that her condition deteriorated. This happened within about two months after the surgery. Everybody I asked told me to do all these.”

Poh was indeed in bad shape. She was put on morphine and had to lie in bed unable to move by herself. If she gets up, she will feel breathless. At one time, she had to be admitted into the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for twelve days. The family spent about RM 50,000 for her treatment. With anger and frustration her husband said: “I spent money is okay, but how could she end up like this?”

Poh was then a living vegetable.

After one week on the herbs, Poh was able to wake up from her bed and walked ten steps with the help of her husband! Her daughter said she was thrilled when she was able to stand up. Her case was not be hopeless after all. On 3 February 2006, i.e., three months on the herbs, Poh was able to walk into our centre! As of this writing (a year after being on herbs) Poh is doing fine. She leads a normal, pain-free life.

Still Alive After Nine Years Even Without Surgery, Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy

Tim (not real name) was 86 years old when he was diagnosed with recto-sigmoid cancer in October 1999. There was no evidence of metastasis. He did not undergo any surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy – the universal standard recipe of cancer treatment.

His nephew, who is a medical doctor, suggested that Tim sought our help. On 2 April 2000, Tim’s children came to us for help (Tim did not come himself). His condition then appeared to be normal for a person of his age. He could eat, sleep, move around and moved his bowels without problem. However, he had pains when he ate too much. He also had rashes after taking antibiotics.

Tim was prescribed some herbs. And he continued taking the herbs any way he liked. Actually we did not take much notice of his progress after that.

It was not until seven years later that Tim’s case was brought to our attention. His children came on   6 May 2007 to inform us that their father passed out blood in his stools.

An ultrasound done on 25 April 2007 showed the presence of several small cysts in his liver but there was no solid mass. His bowels were filled with gas.

Colonoscopy showed a fungating tumour at 12-15 cm from the anal verge. A biopsy confirmed the clinical diagnosis of an infiltrating, focally necrotizing moderately differentiated rectal adenocarcinoma.

I had a chat with Tim’s children and daughter-in-law and got know more about what was going on. Tim’s wife has died many years ago and Tim is, up to this day, staying alone. He refused to move in and stay with any of his nine grown-up children prefering to live by himself, in spite of his age. He has this “independent” streak in him. With this, we can understand why his children suspected that Tim was not taking the herbs properly after some years of an apparent cure.

The following are excerpts of our conversation on 25 April 2007 which could shed some light as to what had gone wrong.

Chris: Earlier he was talking the herbs regularly?

Daughter-in-law: Regular and after so many years he was already okay.

Chris: It has been 7 years … 2000 until now. He was taking Capsule A, GI tea and C-tea. Later you said he did not take the teas any more and was only on Capsule A. And you said he was alright.

Son: For his colon, I think the last few years I brought him for a check up. It was all clear. I also took his stools for examination. They said there was nothing. Everything was okay.

Chris: This was done in a hospital?

Son: Yes, Metro.

Chris: So this means that 3 or 4 years ago, he was still okay.

Son: He passed out blood in his stools. At first we thought it was piles.

Daughter-in-law: This was already one year.

Son: We went to this surgeon (in the hospital) and he also said it was piles.

Chris: Cannot be, cannot be. Because has a background of colon cancer.

Daughter: Exactly, he has a history of colon cancer!

Chris: Let me explain. Colon cancer cannot go away. There is no such thing as curing cancer. Even when the tumour was cut off, the cancer can still come back. In your father’s case the tumour was still left in there.

Daughter-in-law: At the later stage, he started to take less herbs.

Chris: Oh, the dosage was reduced from 2 capsules three times a day to – what did he do?

Son: One capsule per day!

Chris: He might as well not take the herbs at all.

Son: He (my father) told me: I am already healthy. Why waste money?

Chris: He was not taking the herbs properly. There is no two way about it. The cancer will come back. Okay what do we do now? First I want to ask you: Is he prepared to take herbs again?

Son: Yes. He is prepared to take anything now.

Daughter: Ha, ha, papa is well behaved now – well behaved now!

Chris: Before he was stubborn?

Son: Yes, very, very stubborn.

On 15 January 2009, Tim’s daughter came to our centre to collect more herbs for her father, meaning Tim is still doing fine. Lest we forget, Tim is now 95 years old!

Comments: This is an unbelievable case of healing for the following reasons:

  1. Looking at the photographs of the rectal lesions we know that Tim’s cancer was very serious indeed.
  2. In spite of declining medical intervention, Tim is still alive – more than 9 years now. How could that be? Any doctor would tell us without surgery, the tumour would have grown big and blocked the rectal passage. His colon or rectum might just burst, etc., etc., etc. But this did not happen!
  3. Even more amazing – Tim had not been taking the herbs properly. At the April 2007 meeting with his children, I stressed the importance of taking the herbs properly. After all from 2000 to 2007 his problem was still under control. I honestly do not know if my advice was taken seriously or not. Whatever it is, from 2007 up to this day, Tim seemed to have recovered.
  4. I am aware that this report is very brief. I wish I could present you with more evidence but that is all I have in our file.
  5. Let me pose a few questions for you to ponder:

a)     All too often we are told that if there is a tumour in our colon, we must get it out as quickly as possible. This advice seems logical and convincing. But in this case – do you think this logic is applicable, given that Tim was already 86 when he was first diagnosed?

b)     If Tim were to have a surgery, what then would be the next requirement? Chemotherapy of course!

c)     What could have happened to such a patient like Tim if he had surgery? Would be able to live 10 years after that? Can Tim cope with the colostomy bag – fitted after his surgery – by himself? His life would have been difficult having to live with the stoma through out his life.

d)     After surgery, if Tim was subjected to chemotherapy, what do you think such drastic treatment would do to a person of 86?

e)     With such a tumour growth, it is amazing that there is no serious liver metastasis. Why is that so?

f)       Over the years, we have come across numerous cases of failed colorectal cancer. Patients died a few years later, after having undergone surgery, chemotherapy (and even radiotherapy). Why is it so?

g)     Let me quote just one example. Tony Snow was the press secretary of George W. Bush, then President of the USA. In my writing earlier: Case Report 7: Ten Questions About The World’s Most Well Fought Battle Against Colon Cancer, I wrote:

I would imagine that the most powerful man on earth (the President) would be able to do something great to help his beloved staff and fellowman who was in great distress. I believe that Snow would have gotten the best – the best advice, the best doctor, the best drugs and the best hospital – for him to fight his war against cancer. So, to me, this battle against cancer would probably be the most well fought battle ever waged inAmerica – the world’s most powerful nation.

Snow as diagnosed with colon cancer in 2005. He underwent surgery, 6 months of chemotherapy and was well. Then 2 years later cancer recurred and Snow had surgery again in April 2007 followed by more chemotherapy. In July 2008 Snow died about 3 years after his diagnosis.

(Initially medical expert said): This is a very treatable condition. Anyone who looks at this as a death sentence is wrong. What does the life’s reality tell us? Snow died – dead wrong or dead right?

What do you think is the real cause of his death? The recurrent tumour in the abdomen has been taken out. Only some cancer could have been left in his liver. Could this kill Snow? Or was it the treatments used to treat the cancer that killed him?

(Another expert said): This is a treatable disease. What do you think of such a statement? Surely, any disease is treatable but can it ever be cured? Treatable does not mean curable at all.

 

A Healing Story from France

In June 2007 we received an email from Fil (not real name) from France. He wrote to seek help for his 77-year-old father, Jak (note real name) who had been diagnosed with colon cancer. Five years before his cancer diagnosis the doctor had told Jak that something was not right with his brain. He very often suffered vertigo.

Jak’s problem started with severe bleeding while in the toilet. He was immediately hospitalized and on 1 June 2007 underwent an operation to remove part of his sigmoid colon. In his email, Fil wrote:Today, he is in very poor condition. He tries to get up but walking is very difficult. He needs help. He prefers staying in bed. He has very bad appetite and little hope of healing. He does not want to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy. He lost muscles mass and will need training. He wants to live – 5 years more in order to see his little son reach the age of 16.

Jak’s conditions were as follows:

  • Pain: in pain stomach region. His condition is very poor. He is not strong enough to be on his legs.
  • Can you sleep? Yes, sleeping is quite okay.
  • Do you feel tired? Yes, very tired. Almost no strength.
  • How often is your bowel movement? Difficult and constipated.
  • How is your appetite? Very little.
  • Do you have difficulty breathing? No

On 23 June 07, Fil wrote: A few days after the surgery the cancer specialist met my father and said he was far too weak to receive chemotherapy. Last Monday, she came back and found him in a better condition but still wondered if he would be a “good candidate” to follow the treatment. She spoke to me over the phone.

Concerning chemotherapy – to do or not to do, she quoted these figures: WITHOUT chemo, 50% chance to be alive for 5 years and WITH chemo, 65 %. She is scheduled to meet my father for the third time on 3 July. I don’t know what position she will take. However, the doctors in charge of him try to influence the decision by explaining that the operation was well done and it will be more secured to undergo chemotherapy. As a matter of fact, my father seems not ready to go through another bad experience.

On 26 June 07, Fil wrote again: I am working every day on my father’s healing. The last weekend, I had a talk with my father and mother. My father will get back home next Thursday. We made a concrete decision: No chemo, my father will follow your advice on diet and he will take your herbs. Beside that, I am now getting more and more involved in cancer field. Are you ready to work with me and be my coach, teacher, guide, all of that?

This was my reply to Fil: Thanks for your email. Yes, you are indeed an amazing person who wants to learn. Don’t worry I am here to help you and guide you. No problem at all Fil. I like your spirit and your enthusiasm to help your father …   wonderful. Sure, if you learn enough and believe in what I do  ….help others too.

On 3 July 07, Fil wrote: Chris, I got a phone call of my mother. My father had pains in the stomach region this morning. What do you think about this?

My reply: He started taking herbs on Friday afternoon, which means 4 days of treatment. Generally in the first week, patients may find “life” a bit
difficult … due to the healing crisis. Go into my website and read about the CA Therapy and the healing crisis. I don’t worry too much.

Fil submitted a list of drugs that the doctors prescribed to his father:

1. LOVENOX : treatment against thrombosis.
2. INEXIUM :  treatment against gastro-esophagus reflux.
3. AMLOR : against high blood pressure.
4. TAHOR : against cholesterol.
5. OMIX : against prostate hypertrophy.
6. PLAVIX: for patients with recent heart attack, recent stroke, or poor circulation in the legs, known as peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
7. DIANTALVIC: pain (paracétamol + dextropropoxyphène).
8. NUTRICREMAL: nutriment additive with protein vanilia, chocolate.
9. TARDYFERON: mineral additives.
10. FORLAX: for constipation.
11. EDUCTYL NORMACOL: for constipation.
12. Nureflex, Néomercazole.

I wrote him: I counted there are 11 drugs that were prescribed. You mean you father had been feeding on these drugs? Did the doctor tell you what these drugs are for? Find out using the net and let me know. Different countries have different names for the same drugs … this makes things more confused for people. The more confused people are the better… so they become experts!

Fil wrote on 9 July 2007:  I visited my father two times this weekend:

  • A few weeks ago in the hospital, he said that he would like to live 5 years more just to see his little son reach the age of 16.
  • We found him in a very good shape, very active, asking questions, talking about different subjects, arguing as he always did before. He showed us that he was even able to walk some steps without the walking stick.
  • I told him: Whoa!! You are very ok, today!! Much better!!
  • He started to answer that he was still not so good and so on. It was like he could NOT believe he was better. Even more, he refuses to accept the idea, etc…
  • On Sunday morning, I came alone to visit my parents. It was a different story. My father was in a different mood, no power, face down, almost like he “will not finish the day”. You can see this “up and down attitude”.
  • What is your opinion about this kind of patient who doesn’t believe they can heal themselves? We have to fight two or three times harder for such person than a person who is positive!!
  • Not only that, he mismatches any positive comments. It works better on him to say: “You are not GOOD today!! You feel sick don’t you? You won’t succeed in your healing!! After such comments, he will look at you and smile a little bit. So, what can we do?

On 13 July 2007, Fil wrote: The main news about my father. His doctor got the results of his blood analysis today. He called my parents and said:

  • Several markers are much better!! I don’t understand
  • Did I give special medicine to your husband?
  • My mother answered: No, I don’t think so.

Chris, I think we are on the right track! I shall continue to work on the mental blocks of my father and maybe I will be able to find the solutions.

On 19 July 2007 Fil wrote: My father has improved a lot in his “movement” and he is able to walk without a walking stick. However, he still has pains in the stomach area. They did a scope and a scan on him. It was this afternoon and my mother just read me the report over the phone:

  • hypertrophy of the pancreatic head with necrotic centre with blockage of the mesenteric vein.
  • cephalic cellular function or inflammation.

On 23 July 07, Fil wrote: This weekend, a daughter of my parent’s friends came to visit my father. She is 47 and got her third cancer: colon, liver and lung. She is undergoing her 3rd chemo. She said: chemo doesn’t work! We talk about alternative therapy. That’s why people go toward herbs and alternative medicines.

On 1 Aug 07, Fil wrote: Sorry to bother you again, but I wanted to share with you my feelings. Indeed, I want to let you know how difficult it is for me to handle the healing of my father and how important it is for me to get support from yourself and Dave (not real name). I need to fight against the doctor, language barrier and comprehension of a new field and the negative thinking of my father. Fortunately, my mother helps a lot in this experience. I hope I don’t bother you too much with my questions, misunderstanding and some panic situations and so on.

On 7 August 07, Fil wrote: I want to share the healing of my father with everyone.

29 November 2007, Fil wrote: For my father, some news came after the check up in November.

  • Blood analysis: the markers are all okay so far.
  • However, after the last scan, doctors claimed the cancer might have spread out to around the abdomen and lung area (nodules, nodes, etc…)
  • His doctor said that it is time to start chemo; he did not want to recognize the good effects of herbs because it is an alternative treatment.
  • He told me: Chemo + Alternative Treatment could be the least decision to make.
  • My father is ready to choose a new doctor – one with more open mind than this one.

13 June 08, Fil wrote: I got a question from my dad about quantity of teas he has to drink every day. As you know, he had to change his eating habits. It wasn’t that easy for a 77-year-old. In addition, drinking the teas every day make him go to the toilets every 2 hours. Therefore, he has been often asking me: Can I reduce the quantity of drinking in order to avoid urinating less often? I answer to him many times was: “You have to drink teas if you want to survive” and so on. At that point, I believe he really gets tired of going to urinate so often. So, I am asking your opinion. Please, tell me if he can reduce the quantity of liquid per day. Thank you in advance.

14 Jan 2009 Fil wrote: Dear Chris, Happy New Year 2009. Please, find below the links to two short videos taken during Christmas 2008.

Hope these will help you to illustrate my father’s story. Let me know if I can do more.  And again best wishes!

Comments: It has been our pleasure to help Fil and his father, Jak. And we are indeed glad that so far his condition has been good despite of not undergoing chemotherapy. The question that patients may wish to note is: According to the doctor, for a patient like Jak, statistics show that there is a 65% of surviving five years with chemo. Without chemo 5-year survival is 50%. In other words, the benefit of chemotherapy is only 15%.

I wonder how many patients would agree to undergo chemotherapy if they are clearly told that the treatment can only increase survival by 15%. Most patients undergo chemotherapy with the full expectation that they will be 100% cured. Or if not a 100%, at least have a much higher chance than 15%.

The number quoted by the French doctor is far cry from what I have heard here. Here, they talk of 95% or 50% chance and without chemotherapy the patients will die. Let us be really clear: there is no statistical data to show that without chemotherapy, colon cancer patients die.

Before Fil wrote us, there was another person in France (Dave) who had undergone surgery and chemotherapy for his colon cancer. Dave came to Penang and decided to try our herbs. We taught him how to boil the herbs, etc. etc. So when Fil wrote us, we found it easier to ask Dave to help explain everything to Fil. Fil’s father continues to take the herbs to this day while Dave dropped out after about three months. He opted for more surgery and more chemotherapy and in early 2009 we received news that Dave had died.

The rationale of chemotherapy, according to the French doctor is to act as a security blanket. There is a strong assumption that chemotherapy can help ensure a higher chance of survival. But what if after chemotherapy patients die? Does this ever happen? Surely it does happen more often than any one care to admit.

On 17 January 2009, Fil replied our questions posed to him:

a) About your father’s treatment: Did he receive any chemo at all? No chemo at all because we just refuse the treatment.

b) The doctor suggested chemo?  Why? The doctor said that it is a kind of security not to have the cancer coming back. They even fixed on him a chemo port close to the right shoulder.

c) How is his health condition now compared to before his cancer? Pretty good condition in respect to his age.

d) Did he go back to see his doctor of medical check up? Yes, every 3 months right after the operation and now every 6 months.

e) He was taking the medications for hypertension, prostrate, pain, cholesterol, etc. Is he still on all those drugs? You said he suffered vertigo very often— what happen now? Same? Medication for memory, prostate, stomach and  pain. That’s it ! My father has had vertigo for 20 years, it is the same not more.

f) Generally after patients take our herbs, some of these problems disappear — what happen in your father’s case? Rather better condition.

g ) It is one and a half years after his cancer operation – what is his attitude now?

Is he confident about his future? He is pretty confident.

h) When he first started the herbs, did he ever believe it is going to work for him? Frankly not because of his negative attitude and he always has doubts in his mind. My mother and I worked hard to convince him. It was a long process day after day.

i) From the view of your mother, what does she think about his healing? She thinks it is a pretty good situation compared to people who have had cancer and chemo.

j) From your view as a son, what have you to say about this healing? I think that it is really amazing to achieve this healing and I have to tell you that I now become a vegetarian! You can have an idea of my conviction and I even would like to help other people. It is not an easy job, as you know much more than any body else in this world.

k) Do you think you would travel the same road again if you were to do it all over again? EXACTLY THE SAME.

On 27 February 2009, we received an e-mail from Fil

Just few words to share with you:

1. The 47 year-old woman (daughter of my parent’s friends) mentioned above suddenly died last week. She had surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy many times during more than 12 years of her disease. I could not convince her to try herbs or even to change a little bit about her diet. I am sad about that and at the same time I consider that I have done my job of “knowledge transmission” even if I know very little about this subject.

2. My dad saw the oncologist last Tuesday. She found him in a very good condition and his cancer markers are okay. They plan to do a colonoscopy in 6 months.

Like at each meeting, she repeated the same words to my parents: Indeed, I wasn’t enthusiastic to start chemo after your surgery because you were very weak at that time! At the same time no words said about what my father did – alternative treatment, nutrition or what ever!

I just can not believe how these doctors can behave like hypocrites. I had to fight against this lady doctor to keep my dad out of the hospital in July 2007. Please, tell all your patients not to give up when facing such powerful medical people! Anyone has the choice to decide to suffer or to continue his life peacefully till the end.

Thanks Fil for your co-operation and willingness to share!

UPDATE: 4 September 2009

My father is doing well. He has very good appetite even too much from my point of view but as you know, old people don’t want to give up foods. However, I suppose he quit eating meat, milk products, eggs from the beginning of the herbs treatment in July 2007.

UPDATE: 7 January 2011

Hi Chris,

Happy new year to you and yours. We haven’t been in contact for a while. I just wanted to give some news of my dad. He just came from his oncologist appointment.

She just said everything is Okay, next medical check in 1 year! No question about herbs or whatever.

He is running to 81 this spring ! After his colon cancer in 2007.

Should I remind that he got surgery but no chemo. Thanks to the herbs and your advice for vegetarian diet.

Warmest regards.

 

Update: 18 June 2013
Chris,
My dad dead a few days ago. He wasn’t able to swallow food more than one month ago, because of alzeimer but not because of cancer.
He has gone in peace and love without any suffer in his armchair. It was THE most important thing to me.

After Two Surgeries and Chemotherapy He Turned to Herbs and Live

Dass is a 46-year old male. He had problems of irregular bowel movements. Sometimes he had to empty his bowels twice a day, sometimes once every two to three days. The stools were often hard and caused pains. Eventually, he lost his appetite. The food seemed unable to go down the stomach, and even eating a bit of food made him feel full.

Dass had dragged on with this problem for over four years. But the last year was more serious – he suffered pains and the stools were black and bloodstained. Then, one night he had severe stomach pain. He saw a GP who took many X-rays of the abdomen. The doctor advised him to see a specialist immediately. An operation was done the following day.

The surgeon removed a tennis-ball-sized tumor from his colon. After that he underwent chemotherapy. Everything was alright after the treatment. He continued with his routine monthly check-up.

In December 1997, Dass suffered pains again in the abdomen and he coughed non-stop. The doctor told Dass that he had a recurrent cancer. He underwent a second operation. The doctor then told Dass to go for another session of chemotherapy but he refused. He came to CA Care for herbs in January 1998 and was started on herbs.

After one week on the herbs, his appetite improved and he felt better. And up to this day (March 2009), i.e., 11 years on the herbs, Dass is still in good health and doing well. He retired from being a school gardener and now become a driving school instructor.

Comment

Although Dass is not an educated man he is wise and has a great deal of common sense. In the first instance, the chemo-treatment did not cure Dass at all. Many people who would still go for more and more chemotherapy after a recurrence. They consider chemotherapy as a safer path to take.

When Dass suffered a recurrence after just completing his chemotherapy he took a different path. He knew chemotherapy could not help him.

 

I Go For Herbs, No Chemotherapy For Me

Johnny, 46-years old, was diagnosed with Stage 2B, colon cancer. He underwent a surgery in a private hospital in January 2006. Unfortunately, things did not work out well. Nine days later, Johnny had severe hiccups and he had to undergo a corrective surgery. According to the surgeon, his intestines had to be rearranged.  After the second surgery, Johnny was unable to move his bowels for several days and the surgeon suggested a third operation (three operations within a month?). Johnny declined further surgery. He said: I am going to discharge myself and go to the General Hospital. Fortunately, everything worked out well this time and Johnny did not need a third surgery.  Subsequently he was discharged from the hospital on 14 February 2006. Johnny was asked to go for chemotherapy. But he declined further medical treatment. He came to CA Care in March 2006, and was started on herbs. It has been more than three years and Johnny remains well.

In October 2006 we talked with Johnny about his cancer experience. The following are excerpts of our conversation.

Q: Are you okay?

A:  I am getting better and better. So far I have no complaints. I went to see an oncologist three months after I started taking the herbs. This was the last time I went to consult a doctor. Since then I have not gone to see any more doctors. The oncologist said there was nothing wrong with me but he still insists that I go for chemotherapy. I told him I have no money. Now, I am doing fine. I work eight to ten hours each day – and seven days a week. But I am okay.

The Encounter With The Oncologist

A: My appointment was at 2 o’clock.  My number was 2007.  Altogether 16 patients were ahead of me. In my heart, I said to myself:  I would be asked to go for chemotherapy too? My turn came.  I went into the oncologist’s office. The oncologist read out my name and he asked the first question:What car are you driving? This question was followed by: What is your profession?

The oncologist then said: Your cancer is like a Mercedes, BMW, Japanese car or a local car. Your case is Stage 2. So you need to take a good medicine – like a Mercedes medicine to fight … There are many kinds of medicine. There is A – the good one; B which is not so good and C, which is an oral one. So which type do you want?

Q: He asked you to choose the drugs?

A: He asked me to confirm first that I was going to do chemotherapy. He would then tell me which type of medicine he was going to use. But, I asked him for the cost.

Q: In your discussion, did he ever say that whatever drug he is giving you is going to help you or not?

A: No, no. He just told me it was just for prevention. He said that once I got rid of my cancer, there might be some more cancer cells present in the lungs or somewhere else in the body.

Q: So, the whole idea was just for prevention?

A: Yes, and I had to go for chemotherapy.

Q: What made you decide not to have chemotherapy?

A: Because of my experiences in seeing how other people suffered – my friends A, B, C, D and my sister-in-law herself. My sister-in-law underwent chemotherapy and she died after one year and two months.

The Nurse Called And Warned Him About Herbs

A:  After I came home from the cancer hospital, the oncology nurse called my home again and again. She talked to my wife. She wanted to know why I did not go for chemotherapy. She told my wife that my cancer was very dangerous and I had to do chemotherapy. My wife told her that I was taking herbs and would not do chemotherapy anymore. The nurse said this to my wife: If you take medicine from outside, it is going to be dangerous. It is not effective and this will make the cancer grow faster and spread more. My wife replied: No, my husband will not go for chemotherapy anymore. He has made up his mind on this.

Comments

Johnny, in our local slang, is a real fighting cock. That is his nature (before cancer). He does not take things lying down! He is aware of what is going on in his surroundings. He knew what had happened to his many friends who had cancer –  what they did and where they ended up. When it was his turn to make a choice, Johnny chose the path that he was comfortable with. The nurse called to warn his wife that if Johnny did not go for chemotherapy, it was dangerousHerbs are not effective and can make the cancer grow faster and spread more, the nurse warned. How does she know? Fortunately for cancer patients, this prediction of doom does not turn out to be true.

There are many reasons why Johnny decided not to undergo chemotherapy after his colon surgery.

  1. Johnny is an observant person with a lot of commonsense. Sitting down in the waiting room, Johnny counted the number of patients who came to see the oncologist. ALL of them ended up having to undergo chemotherapy – no exception. Could this be right?
  2. Johnny remembered the fate of his friends, including his boss who had cancer, many of them dying after undergoing chemotherapy! He was not quite ready to accept the fate that was being handed out by the oncologist – rightly or wrongly.
  3. The consultation with the oncologist turned out to be a confrontation and this had made him even more sceptical about what the oncologist had in store for him.

Note: As of this writing – December 2010 –  Johnny is doing fine. It is almost 5 years now.

Meat Eater Turned Vegetarian

Alex is a 36-year old male. He and his family enjoy eating meat and rarely eat fruits or vegetables. In May 2000, Alex suffered pains in the left side of his back and started to lose weight. He lost over 10 kilograms within two weeks. A colonoscopy done on 27 May 2000 showed a large tumour, over 37 cm. in size. Three days later, doctors diagnosed it as colon cancer, Duke B. Alex underwent an operation, a left hemicolectomy. Subsequently, he had to undergo chemotherapy once a week for a whole year. Due to the chemotherapy, he was unable to sleep, lost his appetite, felt many discomforts and was very weak. He also lost much of his red blood cells.

On 21 July 2000, Alex came to see us and started taking herbs. On 5 August 2000, Alex said he passed out well-formed stools while previously they were loose and watery. He was more energetic. As a hair stylist, he had to stand all day long at work. After taking the herbs, he was able to work for twelve hours a day without stop and without problems. Previously, he could only work for about six hours a day.

On 30 October 2000, Alex had his third cycle of chemotherapy and this time he took the Chemo-tea. He felt better and he did not suffer any side effects. Alex said that he could sleep well, while previously his sleep was disturbed. He had now changed his diet, taking only fruits, vegetables and a bit of fish. He did not take meat and dairy products. Previously, he and his family were ardent meat eaters, rarely touching vegetables and fruits. Alex had found out that he had more strength now. Again he told us that he could work from 10.30 a.m. till 10 p.m. without problems.

On 20 March 2001, Alex came and told us that he was doing very well. The doctors were surprised at his condition. No one in the hospital seemed to believe he had cancer. He looked so good and healthy. His red blood cell count was excellent. So far, Alex had completed twenty-one times of chemotherapy. That day, I took the opportunity to have a chat with Alex. This interview which took place at about 11 a.m. immediately after Alex was given his chemo-injection. Indeed, he looked well, and he was well. We talked for almost two hours. The following are excerpts of our conversation.

You just came back from the hospital after your chemo-injection. Tell us what happened?

I just had my chemotherapy before I came here. I go for chemotherapy once a week, supposed to be for fifty-two times. Each chemotherapy session lasts for about one and a half hours. The drug is administered using a drip. There’s one solution with the chemo-drug and another without. The one without the chemo-drug is dripped in first, to let the blood vessels get used to it, before the one with the drugs is added in. Before the chemotherapy, I am given an anti-nausea injection, so as to make you dizzy and unable to vomit. But you will definitely vomit! Only after half an hour are the drugs administered.

If I drink the Chemo-tea, I don’t suffer. If I don’t drink the Chemo-tea, it becomes very difficult for me; I can’t eat or sleep for a day. If I take the Chemo-tea, I burp, urinate and clear my bowels often. I feel better. Then I go back home, drink the herbal tea and lots of water. After that I will be urinating and passing my stools often, like I have diarrhoea. Then I will be alright.

So, now as soon I get home, I start working until past 10 p.m. I could even wash my car and polish it too! Right now, I have just completed my chemotherapy session. I woke up at 5.10 a.m. this morning. I took my bath and recited my prayers. The prayers took about an hour and a half. Then I took my car and drove to Penang. When I got to the hospital, the first thing to do is to get my blood count done. This is to ensure that I am fit for my chemotherapy. If the blood is not high enough I can’t go for my chemotherapy.

After talking to you, I shall go home. Work, etc. and etc. Then tonight I am coming back to Penangagain. I go Tanjung Tokong to pray at 9 p.m. So, every week, that is my routine.

OK, this is you and the herbs. Did you see other patients who didn’t take the herbs?

Those who didn’t take the herbs did not look good. I saw quite a lot of them who were very weak. They were so surprised that I could still work. They told me that they could not even wake up and do anything, nor could they sleep. If I didn’t take the herbs, I would not be able to go on!

After four times within four weeks, one person’s hands and veins just turned dark or black. I saw one patient with his veins all black. Wah, it was terrible. He was so shriveled up. His blood level was low, ten point something. When he started, his blood count was 13.75. After four times, it went down to 10.5.

I also had my bone marrow checked. The doctor said: Everything good! NormalEverything is good! I also went to a blood specialist and he advised me to continue my chemotherapy. I was doing very well.

Did your veins ever turn black?

No, no. They turned a slightly darker shade of green at one point. After that, the colour was back to normal. It wasn’t like that for other people who were not on herbs. They had lines of black running through their arms. Very black lines.

Do you think the herbs helped you at all?

I went for four or five chemotherapy sessions before I started taking the Chemo-tea. It was very bad. I cried and I couldn’t eat. I only started taking the Chemo-tea after the fourth or fifth session.

Oh, you started taking Chemo-tea after the fourth or fifth session How did you feel before you started taking the Chemo-tea?

It felt very difficult. I was nauseous and couldn’t eat. I couldn’t sleep, for a whole night, you know. I could not work. This effect lasted until the following morning, sometimes extending into another whole day.

Wow! It was that bad? After taking the Chemo- tea, how did you feel?

After taking the Chemo-tea, I did not suffer from all these effects anymore. See, I just had my chemotherapy two hours ago. Without taking this Chemo-tea, I would not be able to come here for this interview. I would simply go back home, straight into the bedroom and lie down. But I would still not be able to sleep. For twenty-four hours, I will not be to move nor sleep. It will be very bad, and very painful. Without the help of Chemo-tea, I would just lie on the deck chair, unable to sleep or do anything. With the Chemo-tea, I’d be able to wake up, have breakfast and all, wash the car, polish it and still come back here later tonight! Every Tuesday is always like this. It is my routine.

So are you sure that the Chemo-tea helps?

It would be very difficult without it. True, without the Chemo-tea, it would be very difficult. However much I eat, I would still vomit. And the food couldn’t really go down. Now, I’m hungry. Once I get home, I will eat, bathe, change my clothes and go to work. Just now before coming here, I had a loaf of bread. See, no problems.

Do you take care of your diet?

Yes. I am very careful of what I eat. I dare not eat outside food anymore. The risk is too high. I can’t play the fool.

Before you had cancer, tell us about your dietary habits.

When I was a meat eater, I used to feel lethargic and my body ached. On my non-working days I woke up late, around noon. Since being on the herbs, I wake up early, between 7 a.m. – 8 a.m. By that time I would not be able to sleep already, I had to wake up. I become alert by that time. I couldn’t sleep even if I wanted to. I also sleep easily and I slept very well, too.

When I finish work, I go back home and pray for a while. By then it is around 10 or 11 p.m. Then I go to sleep. It’s now so easy to sleep. I wake up in the same position I went to bed in. Before I had cancer, I barely ate any fruits or vegetables. All that I ate was just meat. All my meals consisted mainly of chicken, beef, pork, etc. I did not eat vegetables at all. Ever since I came to see you and started taking herbs, I stopped eating meat.

Your diet currently consists of fruits and vegetables. How do you feel now compared to the time when you were an ardent meat eater?

I feel more energetic and stronger on the fruit and vegetable diet. No meat no strength is a fallacy. I was feeling sleepy most of the time when I was taking meat.

Now my family members have changed their diet. My wife is very happy as the new diet makes her feel lighter. Even my children don’t eat meat anymore. So also my mother.  Ever since my wife and children eat like I do, they have not fallen sick – it has been a year already. Before this, when they were on the meat diet, they fell sick very often. Taking herbs alone is not enough, I must take care of my diet too. Now I do not like to eat out. The food does not taste or smell right anymore. The family complains about outside food: Why is it so salty? Why is it so sweet? Previously, outside food smelled great to me. Even my children don’t really want to eat out now.

I see a lot of trust, confidence and enthusiasm in Alex whenever he comes to the Centre. It is indeed a great pleasure, and very rewarding, to help a person like him. I feel the healing energy in him. His mental attitude is indeed very positive too. There is no doubt that Alex had benefited tremendously by taking the herbs.

Alex and his family were meat eaters. Now, all of them in the house have turned vegetarian – no more meat! And their health seemed to have improved by that switch of diet. Previously, the children needed to see the doctors very often. Now, there is no need for the frequent visits any more. Initially, Alex’s mother did not like the idea of only taking vegetables because according to her: No meat, no strength.

Let me also emphasise that healing is not only about taking drugs or herbs. This is just a minor part of the cancer remedy. You need to change your diet, your lifestyle and your mental attitude – be positive.

 

For almost two years, July 2000 to 27 March 2002, Alex was taking the herbs diligently. After that, he disappeared.

He resurfaced on 21 November 2002. It was a great shock for us to see his physical condition. He was thin and looked very sick. The cancer had spread to his liver.

We requested him to tell us frankly what had happened. From March 2002 till November 2002, he stopped taking the herbs but he still continued with his healthy diet. He concentrated on his daily prayers and continued with his meditation. He believed that in life there is always a cause and effect. Therefore, his cancer may be due to a cause or past bad karma. In order to redeem thisevil, he started to do good works by freeing fishes, birds, etc., that are in captivity. He felt good. To him, there was no further need to take any more herbs. After all, spiritual cleansing was all that is needed to liberate him. He took a holiday trip to Bangkok. Everything was fine.

Came September 2002, after his return from Bangkok, he did not feel well anymore. He became tired and felt something growing in his abdomen. His health deteriorated very fast. He could not eat. He vomited and could not urinate. He had pains. He started to take herbs again. He felt better after two weeks. There was less pains but he was still not able to sleep.

He went to see a doctor who told him to go for chemotherapy. He called us and asked for advice. He said he wanted to undergo this treatment as a last resort. We told him we respected his decision. Go ahead and do what you think is best for you. Fortunately or unfortunately, he came down with a fever and the chemo-treatment had to be postponed. On 10 January 2003, he died. There was no time for chemotherapy.

 

Chemotherapy as Insurance: What A Foolish Idea

On 29 July 2001, 9.30 p.m., I was on the phone talking to a lady from England. Her Malaysian-born sister had colon cancer sometime in March 1999. She underwent an operation. The doctor in UK said that since the cancer was at its early stage (Duke’s 2), there was no need for her to do any chemotherapy. Not satisfied, she came to Singapore to see another oncologist. Because she was still young (46 years old) the oncologist recommended chemotherapy. This would be safer for her – a kind of insurance policy. So she underwent six courses of chemotherapy in Singapore.

In March 2000, a scan showed a 3 cm mass in the liver. She again came to Singapore. Further investigations by doctors in Singapore showed that there was also a 1 cm mass in the lung. The doctors recommended surgery for the liver and /or the lung. However, when the doctors opened up the abdomen, they saw numerous nodules in the peritoneum. The surgery on the liver-lung was abandoned. The abdomen was closed back. She was again given eight courses of chemotherapy.

After the fourth chemotherapy the tumours decreased in size but subsequent chemotherapy did not bring about any further improvements. In short, chemotherapy did not achieve its

intended purpose. She felt hopeless and decided to quit and return to England.

She started on Gerson Therapy in Liverpool for five months. During that period the tumours had grown to twice their sizes. She then opted to participate in a clinical trial at one of London’s top hospitals. She was again subjected to another eight courses of chemotherapy.

Her sister called on 9 July 2001. The purpose was to seek our help since there seemed to be no other avenues left. Her condition as of 29 July 2001 was rather bad. She had pains. She was tired all the time. She was a wreck emotionally. She needed to take sleeping pills.

Comments

I have often encountered similar cases. Many patients have come asking for help after everything else has failed. Unfortunately they have little faith and belief in what I am doing in the first place. So, sometimes there is nothing much we can do. Their unbelieving attitude prevents them from seeking a new path to their healing.

Indeed, the buying of insurance policy for cancer seems to be a popular idea and sells well indeed. People are naïve because they have not read enough to understand what is happening. I have come to a simple conclusion; it is very difficult to deal with such so-called educated people. Their unbelieving and sceptical personality becomes the main obstacle. It is easier to handle the illness than an unbeliever. In another case report, I wrote about Dass. Both patients are around the same age and both have Stage 2 colon cancer. The main difference is that Dass is probably is less educated than this lady in England. In terms of healing, Dass, however, has more guts! He learnt his lesson fast.

 

No Chemo Only On Herbs

It was some years ago that I last spoke to Juni, a lawyer friend. Then one fine morning in January 2005, I had a surprised call from J. As we spoke she reminded   me that her uncle was doing so well on our herbs. To be honest, I have totally forgotten about this case. After the conversation, I decided to write to Bob, the patient’s son to seek for more clarification. The patient is fromSingapore. It was indeed wonderful that Bob was very co-operative and took time to reply to my enquiries. The following is our e-mail communication.

Dear Bob, for my record, may I ask you a few questions:

When did your dad has his cancer? What was his age then?

Bob: Sometime in the end of June 1997. He was then 67 years old.

What cancer? Colon or rectum?

Colon cancer.

He had an operation?

He had the operation in the Singapore General Hospital on 4 July 1997.

After the surgery, did he do any chemotherapy or radiotherapy or both?

He did not do chemotherapy or radiotherapy as advised by myself after reading your book.

After he had the operation, what did the doctor say about the stage of the cancer?

According to him, it was in the early mid-stage. Luckily the cancer was detected early.

Was the cancer confined to the colon or has it spread to any other organs? The cancer was confined to the colon although there was a spot in the left lung. Luckily the cancer did not spread to other organs.

Did the doctor ask him to go for chemotherapy or radiotherapy?

The doctor asked him to go for both therapies but I have discussed with my dad and we decided against it because he was rather weak.

I assume that when he declined all medical treatments, you (not your dad?) came to see me in Penang? Sorry, I can’t remember this case.

We did not get to see you in Penang because my dad was sick. We communicated by faxes and telephones most of the time. My aunt (J, the lawyer above) was the main coordinator during this time.

When did he start taking the herbs?

Yes! He took those herbs that were prescribed by you prior to the operation.

Was he taking anything or doing anything else besides my herbs?

No other medications or herbs were taken.

How is he now?

My father is in good health as he has changed his lifestyle. Walks regularly and practices careful food consumption.

Comments

It has been almost eight years, since Bob’s dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. He was on herbs and changed his lifestyle and diet. It was indeed worth all the efforts. I would not venture to say that Bob’s father took a calculated risk (gamble some may want to say). This is because it has never been a gamble for patients to opt for another path to healing. Or could we turn it the other way round? Could it be a gamble if one were to take the established, popular route?

 

 

More Than Six Years On Herbs, Relapse After Bad Food

WC was 58 years old when he was diagnosed with rectum cancer. He had a surgery on 26 December 1995. It was a Duke’s Stage C. Subsequently, he underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy – a total of 48 sessions of treatment.

Barely a year later, October 1996, he suffered a relapse and this time the growth was found in his pelvis. On 15 October 1996, he underwent another operation. Due to the operation, he was unable to control his urination. Urine flowed out through a tube tied to the leg. He was also unable to have erection.

He came to us on 9 May 1997 and was started on herbs. He improved and was well. We were very happy to see him doing well. He took herbs very regularly. He was one of our star patients.

Almost six years after we first saw him, i.e., 14 March 2003, his wife came with a panic look on her face. She told us that since the last few months, WC had been eating bad food. He feasted on wan than mee, sar-a-fun, lor mee, char bee hoon, etc. These are the famous forms of noodles – the hawker’s delight of Penang. As a result his health started to deteriorate two to three months afterwards. His legs swelled. He had severe back pains.

We prescribed some herbs. His condition improved. His fevers subsided and he was in less pain. The doctor suggested chemotherapy but at that time the hospital had run out of chemo-­drugs, so his treatment had to be put on hold for a while. It was with sadness that in June 2003, he died.
