"Why Me?"

Well, my sister and several friends have gone due to cancer and I also knew many others that have followed the same journey. God bless their souls.. One thing I found in common, the self denial - "Why me?!"...

Why me? Why me!.. It is a question that could put you through many days of mental torture and nightmares! Yet my friends, despite the fact that cancer is a dreaded illness, it can still be managed and perhaps, even cured - if you understand what causes it in the first place! God has decreed that there is a cure to every illness except death and old age!

Sadly however, I realised that many sufferers do not understand much about their own illness and preferred to remain ignorant throughout their entire conventional treatments. It was sadder still when caregivers themselves also chose to remain 'in the dark'!

We all have cancer cells! But how come some got the illness and some don't?! The answer is simple - strong immune system! When our natural defense system is powerful no 'invaders' could survive in our 'hostile' bodies! It is only when our body is weak ie. when our immune system is compromised that 'invaders' thrive and become the aggressors! Many forget that it is OUR OWN BODY, OUR VERY OWN IMMUNE SYSTEM and OUR VERY OWN MIND WHICH ARE THE ACTUAL HEALERS!!




Many things can contribute to cancer. Food we eat, the air we breathe, the liquid we drink... the cosmetics, shampoos, toothpastes,hair dyes,hair sprays,plastic cups, plastic containers, etc, etc.. often contain hidden carcinogens! Genetic hereditary too is responsible! Stress has been known to weaken our immune system so it is important to know how to manage it well. Our state of mind also plays a vital role !




Every day we are bombarded by 'cancer causing' agents! When we go that extra mile to know what factors weaken or strengthen the immune system, that's when we actually begin to understand how our body works which would guide us towards the jouney of healing, albeit the natural way.

What causes cancer?

Hi again!

Seha, another of our local celebrities, 'left us' almost 2 weeks ago - due to lung cancer! .... al-fatiha... and a few days ago, I was informed that a brother-in-law of our local lady chef, has just been diagnosed of lung cancer too - stage 4! Oh dear...

Too many, too often and too frequent we hear of people around us contracting cancer! WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF CANCER?!

Cancer is a deadly disease that afflicts people of all ages and races and vary greatly in cause, symptoms, response to treatment, and possibility of cure.

Cancer is a class of diseases or disorders characterized by uncontrolled division of cells and the ability of these cells to invade other tissues, either by implantation into distant sites by metastasis or by direct growth into adjacent tissue through invasion.

A process called staging is used by physicians to describe the extent or spread of a cancer and which helps to determine the most appropriate treatment to be given.Stage I is early stage cancer with no involvement of lymph nodes and no spread of the cancer from its original site (metastases) and Stage IV is advanced cancer, with both distant metastases and lymph node involvement.

Cancer is the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells that may affect almost any tissue of the body. Stomach cancer, Lung and colorectal cancer are among the five most common cancers in the world for both men and women. Among men, lung and stomach cancer are the most common cancers worldwide. For women, the most common cancers are cervical cancer and breast cancer.

The age of peak incidence of cancer in children occurs during the first year of life. Leukemia (usually ALL) is the most common infant malignancy (30%), followed by neuroblastoma and the central nervous system cancers. The remainder consists of lymphomas, Wilms’ tumor, retinoblastoma, rhabdomyosarcoma (arising from muscle), osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma. Cancer can also occur in young children and adolescents. Pediatric cancers, especially leukemia, are on an upward trend. Female and male infants have essentially the same overall cancer incidence rates, but white infants have substantially higher cancer rates than black infants for most cancer types.

More than 11 million people are diagnosed with cancer every year although about 77% of all cases are diagnosed at ages 55 and above. In the USA and other developed countries, cancer is presently responsible for about 25% of all deaths. On a yearly basis, 0.5% of the population is diagnosed with cancer. It is estimated that there will be 16 million new cases every year by 2020. Cancer causes 7 million deaths every year—or 12.5% of deaths worldwide.

Cancer is caused by exposure to environmental factors such as tobacco, smoke, radiation, alcohol and certain viruses. While some of these can be avoided, there is no known way to entirely avoid the disease.

Cancer is largely preventable. It can be prevented by providing healthy food, by stopping smoking and avoiding the exposure to and ingestion of carcinogens. Good management of stress is also important!



The chance of cure increases substantially if cancer is detected early.The best approach to healing cancer would be doing it wholistically ie via mind, body and spirit.

Understand Your Illness!

You know, even after having been at my friend's side throughout her ordeal, ten years ago, the mental trauma didn't hit me then the way it did when I saw how the illness affected my very own sister! I realised then how little I actually knew of the illness! And when you know little, the only recourse ofcourse was to leave it to the medical professionals to decide for you almost completely!



Meanwhile, I provided her with all kinds of vitamins to strenghten her! I took her for ozone therapy. But when her onco knew about it, I was politely advised not to continue. Then, I found out about Dr Chris Teo's CaCare. That's when I met Khad, who is Dr Chris's representative in Kuala Lumpur.

By the way, CaCare is basically an organisation initiated by Dr Chris Teo and his wife. It's primary dedication is to help those with cancer. Dr Chris concocted various herbal remedies using the herb 'keladi tikus' (Rodent Tuber/Typhonium Flagelliforme) which have helped many cancer patients. CaCare's herbal remedies are prescribed at appointed centres throughout Malaysia. Khad runs the CaCare healing 'clinic' at her house in Subang Jaya, Selangor and serves those mainly from the Klang Valley.





Naturally, I gave Dr Chris's herbal remedy for breast cancer to my late sister . Unfortunately, her condition had far advanced and soon after, she 'left' all those who loved her, peacefully. .. Al-fatehah...May God bless her soul...

What made me have faith in natural cures?

Let me tell you a story...

Actually I've had a 'close encounter' with cancer several years before I knew my late sister had it. This was about 10 years ago! I helped look after a friend who had breast cancer too. There were 'eruptions' near her armpit which were swollen and painful! Someone suggested that my friend saw a Chinese 'Sinseh' who was then living in Labis, Johor. Well, he didn't own a chinese herbal shop but he had learned from his late father who had gained knowledge from the Shaolin Temples in China!



What I found amazing was the 'medication' that the Sinseh used! It was actually
a paste made by grinding 7 types of herbs which he then put on a piece of banana leaf and had it heated in an oven! It was then placed over the 'eruptions'- like a wound dressing and had to be changed every certain hours! Seemed that the sinseh's medication had the ability to 'pull' pus and toxins to the skin's 'surface'! (Pic shows how a cancer cell looks like!) So during the change of dressings, one could actually see the pus and 'cancer cell root' being extracted!... Amazing!

Since the dressings had to be done within specific hours, family members and friends volunteered to transport my friend daily, to and fro Labis! Good thing, it wasn't that far. But as luck would have it, one friend, thinking that there was time, decided to have a little detour to Johore Bahru first! So, by the time they arrived at Labis, it was a way bit passed the 'grace period'! The Chinese Sinseh was livid and my friend was in great pain! Worst still, the toxins that would had been at the surface, now got 'pulled back'!!...

The day after, my friend had to be hospitalised. Her condition had worsened! Her affected hand never did recover. It gradually became gangrenous and finally, had to be amputated! She grew weaker. We were all expecting the worse! Looking by her condition then, the Doctors had advised family members to take my friend home ... Even her 'plot' in the 'Garden of Eternity' too had been prepared! However, she hung on and received palliative care from the hospital. Actually,while warded, she managed to get a special permission to continue receiving the Sinseh's treatment! The Sinseh gave her herbal capsules which he himself concocted. Well, I supposed, in addition to her own strong will to live and by God's grace and blessings, my friend amazingly became better and stronger and was finally discharged!



But... to add irony to my story, a month after my friend left the hospital, the Chinese Sinseh passed away! Gone was the 'secret herbal remedies' that amazed me so much! It could have helped many people. It could have helped my sister!! Unfortunately, that was not to happen! None of his children was interested to learn and the Sinseh did not pass it on to any others either. How sad!!



Wonderful to say though, till today my friend independently drives around herself, albeit, one hand! And the Doctors who had attended to her 10 years ago, are themselves amazed that she survived at all!!

Having been by her side and having observed everything, I knew that without the Sinseh's help, my friend would not have survived and would not have been here, 10 years later, amongst us still, grateful to be breathing the fresh morning air, each day she wakes up ...!!

Great is the blessings of our Almighty Creator ... and Great that HE has also created a NATURAL CURE to all illnesses there is ... except for old age and death itself ...!

SEEK and You shall Find! KNOCK and The Door of Knowledge Shall be Opened to YOU...!

If YOU already have cancer, please..please..please.. UNDERSTAND what your illness is all about!! YOU truly owe that to yourself because it is YOU, your own body, your very own IMMUNE SYSTEM that actually does the healing! Equip yourselves with the knowledge. BE FREE of cancer and make that happen via the NATURAL WAY...!

Remembrance....

Hi!

30 September 2006 ... another friend of mine bade farewell to this beautiful life. Bam, as we used to call her had been a fighter for many years but on that fateful day, she finally succumbed... al-fatehah ... may God bless her soul and may she now rests in peace ... amin.

What is sadder was the fact that Bam didn't 'leave' due to the breast cancer that she was suffering from, instead due to a severe fungal infection caused by the chemo-port that was implanted in her body almost 2 years ago! ... Yup! A fungal colony was found at the end of the plastic tube of the chemo-port!! My goodness!! How could this happened..? Didn't the doctor warn of such a threat?

Oh well... let us ponder...

CANCER - the big 'C'! The much dreaded disease! A 'Death Sentence' to many! The fear of many a human being!

... Almost five years ago, my own sister was a victim of breast cancer and sadly, she too succumbed to it! By the time I knew, she was already in Stage Four! Frankly, I was unprepared for the vision of the extent the illness had done to her body! I went into a mental trauma and had recurring nightmares! Eventhough I didn't know much about cancer then, I however knew that as a sibling I too stand a high risk of contracting it!

I couldn't sympathise with my sister more! My heart went to her! I wanted to help heal her but... I didn't know what to do!I felt helpless! I let the doctors decide! But ... worse still, my own fear was paralysing! I tried to read as much as I could on the subject! I wanted to understand the illness! I wanted to help find a cure for my sister! Most of all, I wanted to pacify my own fears!!

Thank God during this emotional turmoil of mine, I struck friendship with a kind soul who provided solace and comfort to my own troubled mind! This kind soul whom I call Khad, is a lady who had also lost her mum and younger sister to cancer! Amongst other things, Khad advised me to undergo an 'emotional cleansing' therapy and to take up Qi-Gong. I did both and that was when a whole 'new vista' gradually opened up for me! 'I could see the light at the end of the tunnel...'! I became less afraid...
