Sabah Snake Grass Update

The information that I am about to share may seems different from what you have read. Reader's discretion is advised.

According to the wife of my holistic doctor in Ipoh, Sabah Snake Grass (SSG) is a very cooling herb. She specialises in local herbs and have been using SSG for treatment of cancer patients for the past decade, long before the current SSG craze. She said the current usage of SSG, especially by cancer patients is not right. While she don't deny some cancer patients may have recovered or benefited from the SSG use, many of those who suffered from severe side effects of SSG were not published. My holistic doctor then said a few days ago, he took in a patient who consumed 300 SSG leaves each time. She became so weak and was admitted to the hospital.

My holistic doctor then said to me that my present problems (which started in May 2011) was due to my consumption of too much SSG (I took 160 leaves + 1 apple twice a day for one month). When I was taking SSG, the side effects I was having includes restless legs, weak knees, back pain, insomnia and coughing profusely. A SSG grower then suggested that I take in some ginger tea while another suggested that I take sleeping pills to counteract the insomnia. But unknown to me, my body has severely weakened in the process. My present pain on my thighs and knees are a result of SSG. I also know of a cancer patient that continued to take SSG in massive quantities despite experiencing more than 10 side effects including insomnia.

This is not to say SSG is of no use. On the contrary, it is very beneficial but if taken in excessive quantities, then it may do more harm to the body than good. It appears that the current thinking is that it is better to suffer the side effects than dying of cancer. Then I would like to ask, what is the difference between SSG and chemotherapy? Both have effects on the tumors but leave the body severely weakened.

The recommended dosage for SSG should not be more than 30 leaves, added with a slice of apple before blending. After blending, it is advisable to warm the SSG blend before drinking.

It Comes In Pairs

I have been experiencing slightly more pain of later and according to my holistic doctor, this is due to the healing reaction of the herbal and vibrational medicine pills that I am taking. I am feeling a bit tired. Although I have been sleeping much better these days, I am still tired and get up late on most days.

This afternoon just before lunch, my stomach was feeling unwell. I also felt tired and took a short nap. After napping, I felt much better and had my lunch. My digestion is not very good of late. Yesterday just before dinner, I had the same problem.

Today, I am feeling a little lack of energy. My car is also giving me some problems of late. Looks like I got to trade in the car and buy another one. Can't do the same for my pair of legs.

How To Grow Sabah Snake Grass
Readers have been writing to me every now and then on where to buy Sabah Snake Grass (SSG). Although my blog does contain a link in the archives on where to buy SSG, I have added a new permanent picture link so that readers can just click on the picture to get the information that they required easily.

The price of SSG has been going up steadily. I have seen advertisements in Lelong.com.my selling SSG for RM50 per 500 leaves. A stage 4 cancer patient requires between 400 to 600 leaves a day and that would mean RM40-RM60 a day. This translates to RM1,200 to RM1,800 per month just on SSG consumption. As demand exceeds supply, the price may go up further. Prices at the Seremban farm is now at RM25 per 500 leaves.

When you are buying SSG at the farm, I would suggest that you buy about 20 SSG plants. SSG is very easy to plant. After about 5 weeks, you can have your first harvest. When the branches grow bigger, cut them off and plant more. If space is a problem, plant on pots. Just cut of the branches and plant. It's that simple. Even small shoot with a little branch will also do. See picture on left for examples of what is suitable to be planted. Just remember to water them regularly.

Where To Get Sabah Snake Grass (SSG)

I just noticed that my post on 25th May attracted 23 comments. The bulk of the new comments were posted in June 2011 were asking where to get SSG.

Dear readers, I normally do not look at past comments, especially if they are more than 1 week old. So, your request to me to ask where to get SSG would be left unanswered. In future, please leave your comment in the current post, even though the post may not be related to SSG. That way, I know. Alternatively, please contact me by email which you can get from my profile.

Many readers has been asking me for Mr. Ng's phone number. Mr. Ng grows the SSG in his own garden and gives away for free to cancer patients as part of his community service. He is now supporting 40+ cancer patients. More people are contacting him each day. I just spoke to him last night and was informed that he has run out of stocks of SSG. He has requested me not to release his phone number for the moment as he cannot entertain new patients. Please stayed tuned for I will give an update when he has sufficient stock. He says he is working with some people to grow more.

In the meantime, you can buy from Mr. Tiang in Jelebu, Negeri Sembilan. You can contact him at +60196609502. Mr. Tiang also sells SSG plants. It's worth your while to drive there. Please go and buy the plants. Please note that there is a shortage of SSG in the market now. To ensure your own long term supply, please plant your own. Just cut a branch and plant it in the soil. It will grow and you can get your first harvest in 5 weeks. You can grow the plants on pots, so people living in flats, apartments and condos can also plant them.

I got this information from another blog dated 14 July. A person by the name of Andrew said he has huge quantity of SSG for sale. Delivery can be arranged. Interested parties please contact him at teh1210@gmail.com.

Any readers who has SSG for sale or to give away for free, please contact me so that I can include your name in this listing. I have no commercial interest whatsoever from any sale. I am doing it as part of my community service.

It's Still Not Over

I have not been able to sleep for almost two weeks now. Even the relaxant that was given by my family doctor was not able to help. Spicy food does not cause cancer but acidity. In fact the sprouted bread + habaneros pepper has been known to cure cancer. As a Chinese, I am not used to a spicy diet and taking of the cayenne pepper has unsettled my system. It manifest as internal heat, the burning of the heart sensation when I lie down and when I sit down. As a result, the body becomes very restless and cannot settle down whether to sleep or to sit. I avoid all forms of spicy foods until now. This is the first time I experienced it and I did not think it would be so bad so much so even I became hyperactive. A cancer patient requires lots of sleep and I am now on the opposite end, not sleeping. This has weakened my body and I hope the tumors did not take advantage to advance.

I have been very pale looking since the last blood vomiting episode. Yesterday morning, I was not only pale all over, I felt energyless, especially on my feet. I was feeling very tired and at the same time, I can't even lie down to sleep. My mother recommended that I take beetroot soup (not raw beetroot but the dried version that you can buy in Chinese medical halls). Everytime when my mother has internal heat problem, she would drink the soup and she tells me it worked all the time. Research found that the red coloring matter of beetroots contain anti-carcinogens and can increase the uptake of oxygen by as much as 400 percent. This helps fight against cancer and increase our cardiovascular activities. In TCM, beetroots can nourish the blood and bring down internal heat. Within 10 minutes of drinking the beetroot soup, the internal heat subsided and I managed to take a 2 hour nap. I felt much better when I got up just before lunch.

I am still very tired and any sleep lost cannot be catched up. Still, I will try to sleep with every available opportunity. My neck and shoulder has become very stiffed. Yesterday, I continued my second day bathing with cold water. This time, I managed much better than previously despite a slight drizzle outside. My internal heat seems to be reducing and I feel very much better now physiologically.

Sabah Snake Grass (SSG) Revisited
Recently I have been receiving lot of emails about SSG and a reader of this blog, Swee Seng emailed me and said how her mother's cancer after taking SSG is fine now. She also introduced a SSG grower, a Mr. Ng to me and I took the opportunity to go for a fact finding mission yesterday evening. When I was almost about to reach Mr Ng's home, my car overheated due to a leaking radiator. I have to abandoned my car by the roadside and then walk for a kilometer to Mr. Ng's house. Later, I arranged for a tow truck to tow the car back to the workshop. It's was a long but fruitful night for me.

Mr. Ng explained the different types of Snake Grass to me. The common variety grown is called the Indian Snake Grass (ISG) and it differs from SSG in the following areas:

	SSG	ISG
Leaf size	Bigger	Smaller
Taste	A little sweet taste	Very bitter taste
Side Effects	Lung cancer patients may experience nausea	Backache
Efficacy	Effective against cancer as reported by patients	Not known (but my own trial shows it's not effective. It is not possible to increase the dosage to say 100 leafs per blending as it becomes too bitter and you get a very bad backache)

Mr. Ng grows the SSG in his garden and currently supplies to about 30 cancer patients. According to him, ALL patients reported improvements and some even show tumors disappearing as early as 2 weeks of consumption. For more serious cases, he said it may take about 4 weeks. Mr. Ng not only gives away SSG for free, he also give the patients tree stocks so that they can grow on their own and become self sufficient as part of his charity work. People who did not do chemotherapy would respond very well.

He later said I looked normal and examined my hands. He saw some yellowish skin and I assured him that this is due to the carrot juices that I have been drinking over the past 21 months and not due to liver tumor. My November CT 2010 scan showed no liver metastasis. He even said for me, I think in one month if you take SSG, you will be clear and urged me to try. I am the first person he met with kidney cancer, so he has no past results to share. Anyway he gave me a few days supply and gave me the dosage to take. Apparently, he give different dosage to patients depending on their condition.

He also seems well read about certain alternative therapies and we talk about a few of them. One of the therapy caught my attention. He suggested for tumors with masses like kidney cancer, much of the mass is made up of calcium. As such an alkaline environment would not be able to shrink the tumor mass. Instead the the environment should be acidic so that the acid can dissolve the calcium. He read about it in a book. This is something new to me and I would want to research more on what he said.

The reason why I am revisiting this therapy is I have also been asked about this therapy for which I have no experience. I would direct them to someone else who has experiences with SSG and also sells SSG. I have no financial interest when I do referrals. The other reason is for overseas readers. I would like them to know about SSG. SSG is grown in other parts of Asia as well but Malaysia seems to have a database of successful patients that you can check out. This therapy can also be supplement to other therapies (but not TCM and some exceptions) so you can still try without giving up your present therapy.
