Cancer: Complacency is an Invitation for the Cancer to Return
April 22nd, 2008 by admin | Filed under Uncategorized.WC was 58 years old when he was diagnosed with rectum cancer. He underwent a surgery on 26 December 1995. It was a Duke’s Stage C. Subsequently, WC underwent radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Barely a year later, in October 1996, WC suffered a relapse and this time a growth was found in his pelvis. On 15 October 1996, WC underwent another operation. He declined further medical treatments.
WC came to see us on 9 May 1997 and was started on herbs and he was advised to change his diet. He improved. We were very happy to see him alive and well. He took herbs very regularly. He was one of our super star patients.
Almost SEVEN YEARS after we first saw him, i.e., 14 March 2003, WC’s wife came with a panic look on her face. She told us that since the past few months, WC had been eating “bad food” — the various hawker foods that we advised against eating. As a result of this, two to three months later WC’s health started to deteriorate. His legs swelled. He had severe back pains. He died soon afterwards.
This story showed us two important points. One, the need for aggressive treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy may not be necessary. With herbs and a change of diet and lifestyle patients can survive their cancer and do well.
Two, complacency invites cancer back again. No matter how hard we work or how long we spend time explaining, some patients just do not seem to understand. We used to say this: “When you are dying or have problems, you will not hesitate to follow our advice. But the moment you become well, you forget all those advices. You go back to your old ways again because you think you are already well.”
Unfortunately, such attitude reflects total ignorance (or stubbornness?). Make no mistake, cancer does not go away and no one seems to be able to cure it (unless you accept the medical definition of cure as surviving for five years or more). So, we must always be on our guard. Once we feel well, let us continue to perpetuate that wellness so that we can continue to live a normal and meaningful life. Unfortunately, to some people meaningful life means going about their old lifestyle and eat whatever they like! One lady even said us this: “Your herbs help to clean me. So, I can go ahead and eat what I like. Why worry?”
We have seen this going-back-to-the-previous-lifestyle happens over and over again with many patients. When they feel well and alright they stop caring for themselves. They stop taking the herbs and revert to their old lifestyle and diet. Generally within two to three months, they will suffer a relapse.
We believe that there is no permanent cure for cancer and there is no one on earth who could cure you too. It is you and only you who have the power to cure yourself. So, your life is in your hands. The choice is yours!
So, our message to all cancer patients is: Do not be complacent. The dictionary defines complacency as “a feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, especially when coupled with an unawareness of danger, trouble, or controversy.” That is right. If you are not careful you will have to pay dearly for your complacency. Plainly said you may die because of your complacency as shown by the above story.
