On 28 September 2006, I received an e-mail from a man seeking help for his wife. This is what he wrote:

I write this e-mail to you in order to seek your suggestion regarding my wife’s illness.

My wife had been diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) type M5 in late December 2005. I brought her to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) on 1 January 2006 for further management and chemotherapy. She had 3 cycles of chemotherapies in the first 3 months. Later she underwent a Bone Marrow Transplant procedure (BMT) in late April 2006 until mid May 2006. But unfortunately, on the 75th day after BMT, the leukemia cell relapsed. After that my wife had another cycle of chemotherapy and also received donor lymphocytes.

Due to financial consideration, I moved my wife for further treatment to Malaysia in mid August 2006. She was admitted into the Subang Jaya Medical Center (SJMC) until today. At SJMC she got another cycle of chemotherapy and received another donor stem cell on 12 August 2006.

But a week ago the leukemia cells were shown to be active again and they developed quickly before donor stem cells even could work. Five days ago my wife had another cycle of chemotherapy in order to reduce the white blood cell count.

I would like to find possible therapy and treatments that will be suitable for my wife. My wife and I are Indonesians. Within the next few days, I must make a decision whether to bring back my wife home to Jakarta or stay in Malaysia. I really need your help.

Comments

The above is a 33-year-old lady. Before her diagnosis she presented with the following symptoms: fevers for 1 to 2 weeks, gum pain and bleeding, headaches and diarrhea.

Over the years I have encountered many cases of bone marrow transplant (BMT). And all the cases that I know of resulted in death. There was this young lady of eighteen. She underwent BMT in Singapore. After spending so much money, her parents had to bring her home in a coffin. At her wake service, her mother said to me: “If we knew it is like this, we would have stuck to your advice!” She realized her mistake a bit too late!

I know of a person who had to spend well over 1.5 million ringgit (US$1 = 3.5 ringgit) to save his wife from leukemia. She too died. Then there was another young lady who just started to work after graduating from her studies in Australia. She had leukemia and she too underwent BMT. I was told (rightly or wrongly) that she died while on the “operation” table.

Tham is my patient who suffered from kidney lymphoma. After undergoing some initial chemo-treatment he decided to give up chemotherapy due to severe side effects. He opted for herbs. Within nine months, the cancer went into remission. Soon after he was pronounced cancer-free, his doctor suggested that Tham undergo BMT. According to the doctor with BMT he would live ten years longer. Tham declined after consulting me. The question I posed to Tham at that time was: “The aim of the doctor was to prolong his life for ten more years with BMT, but what was not taken into consideration was the risk of dying from BMT due to various complications.” It has been eleven years since Tham was diagnosed with cancer. He is very much alive and well today. Tham is still taking the herbs.

In the case of the lady above, fortunately she did not die from the BMT procedure, but it did not cure her either. Much money had been spent on medical expenses. I only have this to say: Your life is in your hands. Decide wisely!

To diagnose a lymphoma case if very difficult because many of the lymphoma symptoms are similar to those of other medical conditions. However, based on the symptoms, you might suspect a lymphoma case and go see a doctor, where you will have a physical examination. Only through this thorough examination, and sometimes x- rays, your doctor can diagnose you with lymphoma.

When you go see your physician for an examination because you suspect a lymphoma case, here is what to expect: he/ she will start to palpate all your lymph nodes. They are situated in your neck, right under your chin, around your tonsils, your elbows, shoulders, in your groin area and under your arms. Besides this examination of these areas of your body in order to proper diagnose lymphoma, your doctor will also feel your abdomen and chest to see if there is any swelling there as well. Your liver and spleen will also be examined by palpation. If your doctor, after this examination, believes that there is a presence of lymphoma, further test will be made. The physical examination is just the beginning of the lymphoma diagnoses process. The test that are made after the examination serve to better determine if you indeed are suffering from lymphoma or not. A biopsy, x- rays, blood tests and scans are the next tests that you will have to take in order to be diagnosed with lymphoma. If the results in those lymphoma tests
are inconclusive, then you will probably also have to take a bone marrow test.

Lymphoma symptoms are not enough to diagnose this disease, because they can also be associated with other diseases as well. However, they serve to give you an idea that something is wrong. Here are some of the most common symptoms of lymphoma:
- swollen nodes, which are painless is the primary lymphoma sign;
- anemia, loose of weight and fatigue also tell you that you might be suffering from lymphoma;
- fever and sweating, mostly at night, for no apparent reason are also signs that indicate a lymphoma case;
- shortness of breath and an annoying, persistent cough are also lymphoma symptoms;
- itching, sometimes all over your body is one of the lymphoma signs as well;

There are also some other symptoms which can indicate a lymphoma case, but they are less common. Back pain or swollen tissues are some of the rare lymphoma symptoms. They appear because your lymph nodes can actually compress some of your nerves.

Cancer is the growth of abnormal cells. These changes cells grow and they can form into small tumors. The tumors can place pressure on nerves or blood vessels or they can interfere with the function of organs - such as obstructing the intestines. Some cancers grow slowly and it can take years for them to become life threatening - however others can grow very rapidly. Cancers are named according to the type of tissue in which they occur - carcinomas, begin in the tissues of organs (these are the most common gastrointestinal cancers); lymphomas develop in the immune system, particularly in the lymph nodes; sarcomas start on the connective tissue such as muscle or bone.

Cancers can be throughout the digestive tract but the most common sites are the colon and rectum. Symptoms of cancers in the digestive tract include:

• blood in the stool

• difficulty in swallowing

• abdominal pain

• unexplained weight loss

• changes in bowel habits - not related to changes in diet.

You should have any of these symptoms checked by a health professional. If cancers are detected and treated early enough the prognosis is good.

Colorectal cancers begin with changes to the intestinal lining and the development of polyps. While not all polyps become cancerous nearly all colon cancers start as polyps.

Some of the factors that increase the risk of colorectal cancer

• A diet that is high in saturated fats, particularly red meat such as beef, pork and lamb and a diet that is low in fruit and vegetables.

• A diet and lifestyle that increases the level of toxins in the bowel. Toxins cause problems for the body - they irritate tissues, cause cells to breakdown and mutagenic changes to occur.

• Inflammatory bowel disease - ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel disease, Crohn’s disease all increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer.

• Smoking - colorectal cancer rates are higher among smokers than non-smokers.

• Polyps - nearly all colorectal cancers start as polyps.

• Hereditary - if other members of your family have colorectal cancer then you are at increased risk.

Your hereditary predisposition is a factor over which you have little control but there is a lot that you can do to reduce the risks associated with colorectal cancer - as well as other cancers. Having a healthy lifestyle and reducing the toxins that you are exposed to and in particular those that you ingest will greatly assist.

One of the most important things that you can do is to have a clean colon. So then what is colon cleansing? Proper and safe colon cleansing is the process of enabling the body to remove the stored and harmful substances by re-establishing the normal balance and function of the colon and the rest of the digestive process. Only through this thorough process is the body able to begin healing and repair and only then can there be a restoration of health and vitality.

The colon performs many vital functions but one of its most important is the effective removal of toxins from the body. There are many factors that are able to interfere with this elimination process. If the process is slowed or the bacterial balance of the colon is destroyed then toxins that are ingested and are a by-product of normal digestion will be absorbed into the bloodstream. The body will attempt to eliminate then through other routes however these can become overwhelmed. When this occurs the body needs to store the toxins. These stored toxins cause damage to tissue and are the basis of many diseases. They need to be eliminated from the body. Effective colon cleansing provides a safe means for achieving the cleansing of the whole body. When the toxins are effectively removed form the colon then the risks associated with the development of colorectal and many other cancers in the body are reduced.

If you don’t know by now: Wear Your Sunscreen! Suncreen with SPF 15 or higher can significantly reduce the possibility of melanomas, the malignant tumors that contribute to skin cancer. The good news is that melanomas, when recognized and treated early, are almost 100% curable. The big problem with malignant melanomas lies in their being ignored, undetected or untreated, causing the cancer to spread elsewhere in the body. In 2007, the United States population is estimated at encountering close to 60,000 new instances of melanoma, according to the American Cancer Society.

Self-examination is the best way to combat these melanomas. Your Dermatologist can provide professional care annually and instruct you on how to competently check your body for melanomas. These self-exams should be performed monthly, looking out for two kinds of moles, normal moles (round, brown blemishes or “beauty marks”) and dysplastic nevi (atypical moles). If there is a history of melanoma in your family, you are at a greater risk for skin cancer. There are three main types of skin cancer; basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Self-examination gives you a higher chance of catching unusual moles and potentially saving your life. If, upon examining, you find any moles that are raised, bleeding, oddly shaped or different than the last time you checked them, see your Dermatologist immediately. A good rule of thumb is to follow the skin cancer ABCDE rule.

A- asymmetry: look for abnormalities in symmetry – does it look the same on both sides?

B-border: blurry, uneven or rough edges in an early melanoma

C- color- multi colored moles or moles that have changed color. Moles can range from brown, black, tan, red, white, blue, pink, purple or gray.

D- diameter- Melanomas are typically larger than your average mole, about the size of a pencil eraser or larger than 1-4 “ in diameter.

E- Elevation/Evolving- any mole that has an uneven surface, is raised or changes in color, shape or size should be brought to your doctor’s attention. Additionally, bleeding, scabbing or itching are also warning signs of potential melanoma.

Men and women should pay close attention to areas of the body that are repeatedly exposed to the most sun including the chest, neck, tips of the ears, face, hands, back and lower legs, forearms and shoulders. Dangerous UVA and UVB rays from the sun and repeated exposure to these rays can effectuate skin cancer. If you live in a very sunny climate, like Australia, Arizona or Florida you are at a higher risk for skin cancer. If you have experienced major sunburns as a child, this can also be a contributing factor. It is very important to shield yourself from the sun with protective clothing, high SPF sunscreen (15, 30 or higher) and wear it on your face daily. Even in Winter! If you have pale skin, are susceptible to sunburns, have light-colored eyes, work outside in the sun often, use tanning booths, or have many existing moles you are at a higher risk of contracting skin cancer. People who have had chemotherapy or diseases such as HIV, lymphoma or other immune system destructive diseases are also at a higher risk for melanoma.

Eddy from Indonesia came to our centre on 18 June 2007. He brought his father-in-law who suffer from lymphoma to see us. This was Eddy’s second visit here. His first visit was on 22 April 2005 when he came with a colleague to seek our help regarding his colleague’s father, Sugi, who had lung cancer. During this June 2007 visit, I enquired from Eddy about Sugi’s health – is he still alive? The answer was: “Sure, he is doing well.” I was indeed surprised and was really happy with this wonderful news. I searched out Sugi’s file to write this almost forgotten story.

Sugi (not real name) is a non-smoker. He was 67 years old in August 2003, when he suffered from sores in his mouth and had jaundice. He went to see a doctor who did a CT scan and found cancer in his lungs. The doctor told Sugi that he only had six months to live, in spite of the fact that Sugi appeared healthy. Someone told Sugi about CA Care and he decided to take our herbs: Capsule A, Lung 1 and Lung 2 teas. Sugi took the herbs for eight months but his jaundice still persisted. He lost faith in our therapy and decided to take herbs from other sources. But Sugi did not receive any medical treatment.

On 22 April 2005, Sugi’s son came to Penang and seek our help. He told us that Sugi went to see a doctor again two weeks before this visit and the doctor again told Sugi that he only had four months to live. Sugi’s son said: “In the first visit to the doctor, my father was told that he only had six months to live and now it has been two years and he is still alive. Last two weeks, the doctor told my father he only had four months to live. The doctor suggested that my father do an operation to remove the tumours but my father refused.”

After updating Sugi’s condition, we suggested that Sugi take Capsule A, Lung 1 and Lung 2, C-tea, T & E, and S & M teas.

On 1 July 2005, we received an e-mail from Sugi’s son with the following message:

“After visiting you last April 2005, I would like to share with you about my dad’s lung cancer. My dad has been recovering significantly in terms of increased weight (from 54 kg to 61 kg). Visually he looked better and he felt better too. I sincerely thank you and appreciate all your kind advices and herbs.”

I e-mailed Sugi’s son requesting for an update of his father’s health. On 2 July 2007, I received his reply (original text in Bahasa Indonesia).

Hello, Dr. Chris,

It has been a long time since I last wrote you about my father’s condition. We are indeed grateful to the Almighty God for through Dr. Chris’s hands, that my father is able to remain alive up to this day. Currently, my father is able to do what he wanted to do as a normal person.

Let me answer your questions:
a) How is your father’s health currently? Can eat? Can sleep? Can move without any problems?

My father’s health, based on visual appearance is very good. His appetite is very good and he is still observing the diet restriction as written by Dr. Chris in his book: Food & Cancer. Every morning, my father walks for three km to keep fit. He sleeps very well. He is mobile without any problem.

b) After you and Eddy came to see me in Penang until now, has your father ever gone to see any doctor?

My father went to see his doctor only once. He received an injection to increase his immunity. After that, my father has been receiving this injection every month. This therapy seems to be good but I don’t know about its effect on his cancer.

c) Was your father on any other herbs besides our CA Care herbs?

He was on your herbs only. But since the past three months, my father stopped taking your herbs. I guessed he was bored with the herbs.

Comments

This is one case which almost slipped out of our records. Sugi come from Central Java and when he started taking herbs he did not come to see us personally. So there was not much communication between us. It was unfortunate that in the first instance his jaundice did not go away after taking the herbs. The reason is obvious – he was not given any Jaundice Tea to take. Our experience shows that Jaundice Heat or Jaundice Cold tea, is effective for such condition. Though Sugi suffered from jaundice, it was surprising that the doctor indicated that his liver was in good health.

This story highlighted one sad aspect about scientific medicine. When patients are diagnosed with lung cancer (or for that matter any cancer), some doctors invariable try to play God and give their prognosis. “You have three months to live” or “You have six months to live.” Such comment is indeed very destructive. I wonder what purpose such negative comment serves. Is this a way of putting “fear and terror” into patients? When patients are reduced to a state of “helplessness and hopelessness” they become more compliant with whatever treatments suggested. To the doctors, surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the only ways to deal with cancer – other ways are “hocus pocus” and unproven.

Unfortunately this story proves otherwise. Without these evasive treatments, Sugi was and is better off. He maintained his good health and well-being – physically, emotionally and financially. It has been almost four years since Sugi was diagnosed with lung cancer. Let us pray that Sugi will continue to live many more years to come. Sugi’s success defies medical logic, if you believe that there is such a thing as logic!
