using tcm to supplement bazi deficiency

[Agoraphobic]

I have a close relative that's been living with cancer for a few years now. From the various treatments she's had and consultations with different doctors, no one the fuck really understands the illness accurately. All I understand so far is that it is not caused by any external infection/body but comes from within. Different people react differently to the different treatments.

Comes to this - a lot is based on personal faith to the treatment and one's own resilience and will. And doctors, I hope they will change their stance and give hope to people rather than saying the patient has so many (few) months to live.

Cheers!

Drugs and other Medical Treatments Injure and Kill Millions of People:

In 2004 a team of scientists reported: "A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good... The total number of iatrogenic deaths [deaths from medical treatment]... is 783,936 [people per year in the USA]. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States." (Full article here)

Similarly, in 1994 a study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that modern medicine causes 180,000 deaths each year in the USA. (1) Most of these are caused by prescribed pharmaceutical drugs.

A 1998 study in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that in 1994 in the USA, "2,216,000 hospitalized patients had serious Adverse Drug Reactions and 106,000 had fatal Adverse Drug Reactions, making these reactions between the fourth and sixth leading cause of death." (2)

In other words, modern medicine is officially considered to be a leading cause of death.

These astronomical figures, printed in a conservative medical journal, are in spite of the fact that a large number of pharmaceutical drug damages are never reported or registered.

Since 1961, the total number of "safety-tested" medical preparations marketed worldwide has risen to over 200,000. Approximately 15,000 new preparations are marketed each year, while some 12,000 are withdrawn.(3)

The United States has the greatest annual sickness-care expenditure of any nation; $912 billion in 1993 alone.(4) If money and medical treatment equals health then one would expect the United States to be the healthiest of nations. However, as of 2006 the USA ranks at only number 48 in the world for life expectancy at birth.(5)

Of course, a percentage of drug damages are due to the incorrect administration of drugs by physicians and patients. But how are harmful pharmaceutical drugs allowed onto the market in the first place, and why do we have so much faith in them? Pharmaceutical transnationals defy the intent of laws regulating safety of drugs by bribery, false advertising, unsafe manufacturing processes, smuggling and international law evasion strategies. But most of all they make dangerous drugs appear safe through the use of fraudulent and flexible 'safety-tests', the subject of this article...
Fraud in Clinical Trials - Human Tests.

The easily prescribed Antibiotic have caused the drug resistant super bug. To dismiss TCM as a big con job show how ignorant you are.. China and India are the most populated nation even without Western medicine. The facts are there for you to see.

Anyone can write anything especially in this day and age where "publishing" means nothing more than hitting "send" or "post".

If it wasn't for modern medicine, I wouldn't be around typing this message.

If your relative is willing to do some homework he/she should get a copy of the book about the Gerson Therapy from http://www.natures-glory.com/home.asp
After reading the book he/she will have to decide if it is for them.

Sorry to hear about your close relative. I think there are far too many factors involved in the causation of cancer. You have the internal factors and also the outside or trigger factors.

Internally, you immune system should be sound. The cells are all potentially cancerous - they multiply all the time. Inside our body ,there is a balance system where the multiplication of cells ( growth ) is controlled and conducive to our well-being. Blood cells grow and die. But for some reason, there is an imbalance: the multiplication continunes unchecked and that continuous multiplication of cells leads to cancer growth which slowly devours the whole body. The check and balance system in the body has gone wrong - frightfully wrong.Many believe it is the genetic makeup that went wrong. The whole cascade of gene control, gene repressor and gene trigger, all went haywire. So if doctors can find a way to check and balance this genetic balance system, it will go a long way to stop the growth of cancer. Genetic slicing and modifcation is still very experimental.

What we have now is surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Immunotherapy is used in some cases.Genetic modification is being tried. Other modalities of therapy are being contemplated. But death from cancer is still very high and cancer remains the scourge of our modern age. Treatment is expensive.It can be very painful and very depressive.

When will you die from cancer is a difficult question to answer. I agree with you that doctors should not "predict " death and "condemn" a patient to a terminal demise. But in the majority of the cases, the doctors are right.In some cases, the doctors have been proven wrong.Some cancers have spontaneous regression. Some patients somehow for whatever reason suddenly develop some form of immune strenght and resilience, and the cancers just disappear from the body. The cancer cells are wiped out and the cancer-strikened patient recovers fully to share his story. Unfortunately , these are rarities. The majority of cancer patients will die and it also depends on the stage when the cancer is discovered and the modality of treatment.

I wish your relative a speedy recovery and perhaps a spontaneous recovery too.

I have many friends who passed on within six months after they were diagnosed with terminal cancer. Ca Colon is top on the list. Lymphomas are pretty common. So do take care and do not sweat the small stuff. Cheers and be happy always.

My relative is well-read on the subject, well, as well-read as anyone else I have come across. She was diagnosed in 2008 at Mt. Elizabeth Hospital and after early treatments there, went to tcm, then hormone-therapy at NCC, and now naturopathic. She still goes routinely to NCC for her blood check and cancer-count and carries on with naturopath. During this time, she's met with all sorts of fellow patients, some of which even sought tribal medicine from sinsehs in Malaysia who had to smuggle their medications across the causeway as some of these herbs are not approved by the medical authorities in Singapore (reminds me of ganja "ant-smugglers" of the seventies). At this time, she quite openly attributes her surviving all this time to her Lord, Jesus Christ. Well, whatever she finds comfort in, let it be. Except for being really skinny, she looks quite normal and is quite strong. Coincidentally, she fully supports consuming soursop fruit and juices. Also, apricots and cassava for whatever they contain. I'm not surprised if she's already read the book you recommended, but will let her know about it when I meet her.

Cheers!

If she can afford it, she might also consider going to the US to "THE" Gerson Institute for the treatment.

I knew someone with cancer who went to a retreat in Malacca where they teach people how to cope. Course covered cooking lessons on what to eat, best way to prepare the foods. It also included de-stressing exercises, etc. I think the course was 1 or 2 weeks? The package included space for one other person, a partner who would be a care giver. She passed away BUT she survived longer than her peers who also had cancer.

Unfortunately I threw away the brochures so & can't provide more details:o

is it ok to share with us: what type of cancer and the stage? thank you.

 

[Poomer]

If suay suay kena cancer, i recommend visiting both ncc and the chinese sinseh at the top floor of pearl centre which is opposite sg, so can visit after ncc. relative of mine did that, said sinseh not bad. The sinseh adviced using honey for the chemo burns, heard its very effective. this sinseh also advice the patient to go for chemo, never sell koyo one. heard tcm even make cancer growth smaller, this one i cant confirm though.

anyway tcm is more prevention that cure, unlike western medicine. my advice, which i dont follow coz i feel i pah buay toh is a mixture of both is good, just make sure the sinseh good, so that they will know which medicine they give wont clash.

same same, also praise the lord for recovery. but as the saying goes, god can't help you if you don't help yourself. if whole day pray and don't see doctor, i think also hard.

Yes, she' considered going to this place but changed her mind and stayed in Singapore. After that, she attended tcm and vegetarian food courses by Kampong Senang here in Singapore. Most of the volunteers there are cancer survivors as well.

Stage 4 breast cancer. Has spread to lungs and stomach. She is skinny, but has regained appetite and strength since.

Cheers!

TCM doesn't do a damned thing for any ailment. It's nothing more than a big con job.

I am very sorry for your loved one. I wish her well and I hope she will recover eventually.

Thanks. Me too. She's a supportive wife and loving mother, and a friendly friend.

Let me just share with you a story of a doctor who suffered cancer of the stomach. He was advised to have surgery as the cancer was still in the early stage. The good doctor did not want any form of surgery. So he went to a temple and he lived like a monk. He became a vegetarian, meditated and did chanting and lived a very frugal and simple life-style.

After a period of six months living like a monk, he returned to his doctors for review. They could not find any cancer at all. The doctor was completely cured of his cancer.

I am sharing this story with you and I hope that your loved one will have a spontaneous regression of the cancer and that she will recover completely and will be able to live a normal life. Cheers!

 

[Poomer]

I think most of em never get cured, they die in the temple, thats why you never hear their story.

It's one's responsibility to seek treatment. Have another relative, refuse treatment, just pray and eventually got worst, seeked treatment too late and passed away. Both are suffering from nose cancer.

I totally agree with you. Some died and just disappeared into oblivion.Some survived to tell the story. There are many factors which determined the outcome of such people suffering from cancer. I think the prognosis for nose cancer is quite good.HK has the best treatment for nose cancer and they have tremendous experience in treating nose cancer and their results are very promising.

So it depends on the type of cancer, the stage of the cancer when first diagnosed and the modalities of treatment. And of course, some patients do better than others. The state of their immune status, their strength, their resilence, their hope and their FAITH. I believe in prayers. Prayes do instil some hope, some strength and some faith. Even if the cancer patient eventually passes on, there is some peace and some reconciliation and acceptance.Sad..very sad indeed to see a loved one pass on with cancer....:(

 

[ilovesingapore]

sad to say this: many cancer patients will eventually succumb. the immune system breaks down. the cell growth runs riot. we can do many things. spend thousands and even hundreds of thousands of dollars on doctors, specialists and drugs and treatment....the survival rate for advanced cancer is very depressing. only those early ones like cervical cancer ( from pap smear ) and early breast cancer ( from mammogram) have good prognosis with early intervention.it all depends.

some unfortunate ones, for some unknown reasons, the stage 1 cancers suddenly become stage 4 and wiithin three months,patients succumb...

maybe cancer is a systematic disease with local manifestations in some of the organs in the body.....many believe it is a sudden drop in your immune system, the failure of the surveillance system in your body....so live and live happily as long as you are healthy. do not sweat the small stuff.be of good cheer and be happy....
