I have reminded my cancer patients – when you are getting well, let the healing process goes on. Spend time to help yourself get well. Monitor your progress.
In my case, I have 3 things that need to monitor.
- Blood glucose for my diabetes. Remember the first reading I had showed a glucose level of 20.5. My HbA1C was at 13.6% which was very high. Now, my blood sugar level is within normal range – without taking any mediation! What is going on?
- Sodium level – my reading went down to a critical low level of 118. Now, it is okay after taking salt pills.
- My blood pressure and cholesterol were also high.
I have never been admitted into the hospital for years, and I felt “uncomfortable” to think that the nurses would prick my finger with a needle to withdraw blood for testing. Doing it once a day is ok, but what if this done a dozen times a day? Would be unbearable? Scary.
Fortunately, today we can buy a computer-link device which can be “installed” on the arm (see “white circular patch” below). You can use the handphone to monitor the glucose level anytime of the day and as many times as you like! A great device indeed – discreet and convenient.
Discharged from the Hospital
After taking the drugs prescribed by the doctors for some days, I gave up on the drugs. This is because the drugs did not seem to bring any physical benefits to me. My physical conditions did not improve (or got worse?). You may say I am biased. OK, accepted!
Although I am a practising herbalist, be rest assured that I am not a dumb-narrow-minded person. I will give credit where credit is due. I started life as a scientist and I value and uphold genuine scientific data. This is the basic principle I always uphold when dealing with cancer patients.
Like in my case, my advice to anyone is. Go to the doctors / hospitals and find out exactly what is wrong with you (like I did in my case here). Do not go to the alternative medicine practitioners because most of the time, they may not get it right.
After knowing the cause of the problems, it is something else if you want to totally follow the doctor’s advice or not, with regards to the medications prescribed to you. Let this be your own personal decision after taking into consideration the effectiveness and side effects of the drugs. Sometimes you need a lot of your own common sense to decide to accept anything that is fed to you.
Here are some brief notes of what happened to me after I started to gradually stop the doctor’s medications one by one.
- While on these medications I vomited quite often. What was the reason?
- After 4 days on Metformin, I stopped taking it. The vomiting subsided and eventually stopped.
- For 2 weeks, since my hospitalization, I was not able to move my bowels. On the night of 20 June, for the first time I started to take my herbal Constipation tea. To my surprise, the next morning I was able to move my bowels. I continued to take Constipation tea for a few more times and I was back to normal.
- On 21 June – the next medication to go was paracetamol. I was really concerned why I had to take so many paracetamols each day. I decided to try my luck with my Pain Tea (free of narcotics or pain drugs). Bravo, whatever little pain and discomforts I had disappeared by taking the Pain Tea.
- By 24 June, I was off most of the medications. The only one left was Sodium chloride. I continued to take this common salt for some more days before I fully stopped it
The Results that Matter!
One possible comment anyone would say is: Chris Teo, you are arrogant. You want to show off that you are “smarter” than the doctors. I am sorry, when it comes to trying to restore my own life, I don’t have to “show off”. Winning a brownie point just to boost my ego is not worth it. I am not a fool!
I must say it loud and clear, without taking those medications with ‘toxic” side effects, I was far better off. I could walk slowly by myself and had minimal discomforts. Is this not what you want?
With this comment, I wish to apologize to the doctors and nurses in the hospitals that I went to. I don’t mean to “insult” and be “ungrateful” to you all for helping me. I am sure my stay in the hospitals did help in my recovery in many other ways. Thank you, doc!
Let’s examine the data!
My wife used her handphone to record my glucose levels day and night. She ended up with “lots of boring” data which I believe no one is interested to know. It is more fun to watch TikTok la!
- Monitoring of glucose level
For a quick and easy understanding of the data collected, let me present the essence of my message in the form of slides below:
On 6 June 2024, my glucose level was very high, at 18.9 mmol/L.
Low or high blood glucose results can indicate a potentially serious medical condition. According to Freestyle LibreLink:
- low glucose reading 3.9 mmol/L.
- high glucose reading 13.9 mmol/L.
After taking the medications prescribed for me, the blood situation gradually improved – the glucose dropped to 10.8 and 8.7 after 4 days.
The situation improved further – the average glucose level dropped to 7.1 on 19 June; and eventually to 6.8 by 27 June, i.e. within the normal range.
In an individual, the glucose levels fluctuated from morning to mid-night within the body.
That is normal, provided the range is within normal limits. So it appeared that my diabetes was under control after taking the medications. So, why are you Chris Teo against taking the medicatons? Aare you trying to create a disharmony? My answer: I am more concerned with the side-effects the drugs. Five the drugs prescribed have dangerous, documented side-effects. You may argue that this fear of side-effects are hived-up or an imagination of my mind. Ok, I rest my case. Do what you think is right for you. I am asking you to discard your medication!
For one month I was not on any medications. My average levels of glucose were maintained at 6.8 and 6.2. The situation seemed to return to normal. Am I crazy to believe this?
To the “scientific mind” I used the data that my wife had collected, analysed them and came to my own conclusion. This is how to find “truth” – the data speaks for you, not what other people tell you.
Now, let me present to you the data that my wife had collected in the form of “boring numbers”.
On 5 and 6 June, my sugar levels were high! I was hospitalized and put on various medications. By 13 June, things seemed very encouraging. I was discharged from the hospital, and I continued to take the prescribed medications while at home.
The conclusion: the doctor’s medications worked but at a hefty price tag (a topic I shall mention later).
For one month, from 25 June to the whole of July, I started to take herbs and used my e-therapy machine to help me with constipation, insomnia, muscle aches and spasm, itchy skin, etc. My good friend specially formulated protein supplements to help restore my energy.
I felt better, had more energy and most important my glucose level is normal.
- Boosting of Sodium level in the blood
When I first did a blood test, it was shocking that the sodium level was critically low at 118.
In Hospital C, I was given iv3% saline infusion twice. Serum sodium increased to 124mmol/L
11 June 2024 @14.44 Sodium 118 (critical)
11 June 2024 @19.58 Sodium 120 (critical)
11 June 2024 @23.45 Sodium 124 (critical)
12 June 2024 morning Sodium 124 (critical)
!3 June 2024 @6:31 Sodium 123 (critical)
!3 June 2024 @11:53 Sodium 125 (critical)
14 June 2024 @ 8.10 Sodium 123 (critical)
14 June 2024 @ 14:12 Sodium 127 Low
15 June 2024 @ 6:34 Sodium 126 Low
I continued to take sodium chloride capsule, one per day. Yes, the treatment in Hospital C was effective. And I have to NO hesitation with this sodium chloride treatment because it has no “drastic” side effects. Thank you.
