The following is a summary of treatment that I am taking:
1. Urine therapy - drinking of one's own morning urine once a day.
2. Modified Gerson therapy - using 2 to 3 coffee (alternate with castor oil) detox and 10 fruit and vegetable juices per day
3. Supplements - K-salt, wheat grass, Q10, Ohhira Mountain fruits extract (soon to add kelp & naicin).
4. Homeopathy treatment - to stabilise and reduce the tumors over a period of time
5. Removal of kidney tumor by surgery - recommended by doctors to assist the body in healing faster.
6. Diet - vegetarian consisting of organic brown rice, vegetables and fruits. No salt, no sugar and no oil.
7. Water - Alkaline water dispenser
8. Duration of therapy - 24 months, after that period when conditions stabilised, a modified version is a possibility in 18 months time.
9. Spiritual and Friends - Almost forgot! Spiritual therapy is very important and also not forgetting your friends and family's support!
As you can see, I am taking a mixed approaches of allopathic (surgery) and alternative treatment. The main reasons for these approach are a) under the current medical field, allopathic medicine is not able to cure the disease (renal cell carcinoma) yet and b) alternative medicine seems of have better results for such cases. Recently, my ex-colleague Quah told me that his cousin sister's husband who had cancer had just lost his hearing after doing the chemo. That's why chemo is never an option for me. Today I had some good news when I met Yap, my Saudi Arabian ex-colleague just before he is to fly back to Saudi tomorrow. He told me that his sister-in-law's father who is having similar problem as me from Tangkak, Johore is following a therapy similar to Gerson. He has been on it for 3 years now. Although the tumor did not grow neither did it shrunk. He is fit enough to go back to work and even gain some weight back. The place that is offering advice is Persatuan Pengusaha Herba, No. 85, Jalan Seri Setali 1, Taman Air Putih Jaya, 25300 Kuantan, Pahang. It's a non-profit organisation and their charges are very reasonable for those who need guidance. You can also visit this health spa in Malacca for some cancer treatment (http://health.aenon.org.my/programs/programs.php).
I repeat. Before deciding on your treatment, you MUST talk to the allopathic doctors (such as the oncologist and specific organ specialists) and you must read available alternative medicine treatments. Do not just based your decision on some emails, listen to cancer talks, just my blog, etc. You MUST read and satisfy yourself. When selecting a therapy that has been recommended by anyone, ask this question "How many cancer patients have you healed with this advice?". Before deciding, you must also ensure you can stick to your chosen therapy.

The main key point of Homeopathy is the principle of similars (or "like cures like") is a central homeopathic principle. The principle states that a disease can be cured by a substance that produces similar symptoms in healthy people. Because of this, many people are not comfortable with the concepts of homeopathy as a number of its key concepts are not consistent with the current understanding of science, particularly chemistry and physics.
Because of this, homeopathy is treated by allopathic trained doctors as quackery. Therefore, it may comes a surprise to many why I have chosen this method over say Ayurveda or traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which have been in used for more that a few thousand years. Although cancer is not a modern disease, from statistics, it has been shown that cancer mainly afflict the wealthier nations. This is due to the richer animal protein food intake. A number of allopathic trained homeopathic doctors started recording their trials and subsequent published their treatment in books so that the homeopathic community will have wider sources of references for cancer treatment. Therefore the most important selection criteria for me is not just how long that method has been in used but more importantly the experience of the practitioner. For example the Gerson therapy and Dr Rama's homeopathy treatment has gone through many clinical trials (not just one but in the thousands - both with successes and failures) and although may not fulfill the scientific criteria to be considered as valid or acceptable by the academic community, I have faith in their methodology. This is not to say there are no Ayurveda or TCM practitioners able to cure cancer, it just that I may not have the opportunity to read them (actually I did read some work of doctors on TCM). It is important to understand the treatment that you intent to take and then believe that it will be helpful. If you have doubts, then the treatment will not work. If you have cancer, you cannot afford to go on trial basis and wait to see if you respond to the treatment. This means you cannot allow the practitioner to experiment on you. A mere two months would put a Stage 3 patient to Stage 4 status. And by another three months, the patient would most likely to be dead. Remember, a life is at stake. Some people just don't understand this, maybe because it is not their life that is at stake.
Of course, this does not mean my therapy will be 100% successful. I don't know who can give that kind of guarantee. However, I do know that if the practitioner has many years of successful treatment of a few thousand patients, and have documented his work, that would be sufficient for me. Let me share with you how this homeopathic treatment for me works. After assessment and understanding of my personality and character, I was diagnosed as having a phosphorus character. In homeopathy, there is no direct medicine for cancer. Instead, the medicine that will heal the cancer is the mineral element that best represent the traits of the patient. For me, it starts of with the taking of phosphorus mineral. The phosphorus that I will be consuming has been diluted to very low levels that if you test for the existence of the mineral, it would almost be negligible or not found. Homeopathy uses the concept of plussing a remedy. Basically this involves shaking or agitating a homeopathic remedy dissolved in water. With liquid remedies, doing this changes the potency slightly so that the risk of aggravations caused by the remedy (side effects) is minimized. Dr. Ramakrishnan's "Plussing Method" involves agitating the remedy before each dose (one dose is one tablespoon), according to the classical method. His "plussing method" also involves preparing 11 does but taking ten doses a day at ten or fifteen minute intervals, which is an innovation in homeopathic methodology. After completion of 10 doses, the balance of one dose will be carried forward to the next day. On the next day, I will add 10 teaspoons of distilled water only (but no phosphorus) to the existing one dose. Again, 10 doses will be taken for the day leaving one behind for the next day and the process repeats. The cycle stops are one week. His justification for multiplying the daily doses makes sense: that cancer is such a well-entrenched disease with such a threatening time-line that waiting and watching between doses as homeopaths generally do is not a viable strategy. His administration of the doses so close together effectively turns them into one prolonged dose of medicine, amplifying its strength and effect.
In addition to phosphorus (to be consumed on week 1, 3, 5 & 7), I was also given carcinosin for week 2, 4, 6 and 8. Luckily I had a homeopathic practitioner friend that came along to explain the methods to me. I was also given additional supplements for the morning and the evening, two different courses for the next two months. I am sure by now, you will be wondering what's going on and whether I made my choice correctly. I tell you this. I am betting my life on it. That's how sure I am. Meanwhile I will communicate with Dr Rama via email on my body's response to the treatment. I will meet him again on 9 January 2010 (once every two months). This stage of treatment is to stabilise and stop the cancer's growth. Once that is accomplished, the next phase is to reduce it. This therapy will take 2 years but the next 6 months will be critical for me. Sometimes people wonder how come such therapy which costs RM500 per month will work compared to RM20K+ per month that is charged by the drug company? If you read and reference check around, you will realise why cancer is a billion dollar industry. Homeopathy and other alternative medicines uses natural substances which can be obtained cheaply. The question to ask is that can such cheap medicine cure such a deadly disease? There is no right or wrong answer. You either live or die with your decision.
Since stopping to eat the apricot seeds, I think my condition has stabilised i.e. not so much jabbing sensations around my ribs and thighs. I also restarted taking Q10 and Ohhira mountain fruit extract supplements (which I stopped eating as it was not compatible with apricots seeds). This morning I wake up to a little muscle pull around the neck and shoulder. I had a little cough also. Otherwise, I am in general good health. I am eating more, during lunch, dinner and also in between and supper. Weight has been stabilised back to around 72kgs.

My trip to Singapore to see Dr Ramakrishnan, the allopathic trained homeopathic doctor was good. Dr Rama is a well known in the homeopathic fraternity around the world for his treatment of cancers having treated over 5,000 patients. I am glad that Dr Rama travels around the world to London, US and Singapore to meet his patients once every two months. I contacted Dr Rama in mid October 09 to make an appointment to meet him so that he can begin my treatment.
Homeopathic treatment, unlike allopathic treatment or some other treatments requires an understanding of the patient's past behaviour and character. Homeopathy is a system of medicine which is based on treating the individual with highly diluted substances given in mainly tablet form, which triggers the body’s natural system of healing. Homeopathy has been widely used throughout the world for more than 200 years. So, when Dr Rama began my treatment, it reminded me of the shows I watch on TV or movies where the patients talk to a psychiatrist, going back to the past and remembering details of events, likes, dislikes, fears and the emotional aspects of a person. Once that is gathered, Dr Rama had a look at my CT scans and also wanted to know the recommendations of the oncologist/urologist. After considering the facts of the case, he recommended me to consider going for removal of the tumor kidney as he is also of the opinion the removal would assist the body in dealing with less tumor cells thereby facilitating the treatment. He also prescribed me some homeopathic medication for the next two months until I meet him again in January 2010. The strategy that he has adopted is to ensure the tumor/nodules does not deteriorate and spread. Once that is achieved, he will begin the second phase of reducing the size of the nodules in my lungs.
As I have said earlier, my modified Gerson therapy of detox and juicing is not the complete therapy and juicing alone WILL NOT help to heal a cancer patient. I am a very good example. What I did up to now is only managed to slow down the growth, to buy myself time so that I can find the appropriate treatment - in this case homeopathy. To heal, we must still deal with the tumor cells. I am most likely to do my surgery at SJMC using the keyhole surgery method while allows the patient to heal faster but cost 25% more.
On Sunday, I finally managed to summon the courage to inform my parents of my actual condition. My mother is wondering all this while why I am going here and there to meet this or that doctor and now that I may want to proceed with the operation, why do I still need to do medication? I had planned to reveal a little at a time so that she will not be shocked with the news and it looks that the plan is working. She accepted the news calmly and shed some tears in between. I was holding on for as long as I can while taking my lunch. I quickly went to wash my plate upon completion and also wipe out my tears. I need to show to my mother that although I am down with a very serious problem, I am having it under control. Then she said I would overcome this difficult chapter in my life and I told her yes I would. That evening, we packed dinner and ate with my parents. My mother normally do not cook on Sundays but I told my wife and kids, we need to be close to my parents to offer support to each other.

Today I will follow-up with yesterday's blog on cancer and share some more information on cancer treatment, in particular the Gerson method. There are many approaches to treating cancer and what I will be concentrating on is the alternative therapy and not conventional or mainstream medicine. Actually, mainstream medicine should be called alternative treatment, after all they have been around only for about 200 years or so whereas Ayurveda or traditional Chinese medicine have been around for thousands of years and was the mainstream medicine before this. Although cancer has been in existence through the ages but those days were rare. According to Philip Day in his Book Why We're Still Dying To know The Truth provides the following table:

A number of alternative treatment normally recommends that you start with detox. Detox is important because you must get rid of the toxins in your body to allow the organs such as the liver, pancreas, kidney and other organs to function normally again. For cancer patients, these organs are sometimes impaired and be nursed back to health. Therefore detox is not a single step once a week program because the person has cancer. It starts of with a more rigorous program and continues for a period of time. It is not possible to rid the toxins with just a few detox applications. There are two important information information you need to know about detox. although you already knows the end in mind but are you aware a) what ingredients will you use for detox and b) how will the body rid of the toxins? The blood circulate the liver once every three minutes. The three ways that toxins are removed from your body are through your sweat, urine, and bowel movements. Your liver is the organ that filters toxins and decides what will be removed from your body. For cancer patients, normally the liver is already not functionally properly. So when you detox, what happens to the toxins that has been released? Do not expect the liver to cope as in a ordinary person. Therefore, it is also important when you detox, you must do it slowly because you do not want too many toxins to be released at the same time. The Gerson detox uses coffee enema to detox the liver (and other parts of the body). Please see my 2 November 2009 blog for more info on coffee enema. Dr Gerson has this to say "If we do not help the patient intensively day and night to eliminate these additional poisonous substances, as I have seen it in the beginning of this treatment, there is a serious danger that the patient may fall into a hepatic coma". Granted, different therapy may require different detox regime.
I will not touch on the nutrition and diet. I will leave this for another day. I have said "JUST ON JUICING AND PLANT DIET IS NOT ENOUGH". In the Gerson therapy and also the Metabolic therapy, they also use supplements. Supplements are not just vitamins are we know. For Gerson, the supplements are actually medication. Professor G. von Bergmann said "Cancer metabolism take place once the body is no longer capable of producing an active 'inflammation metabolism'... the cancerous organism is anergic (meaning cannot prevent cancer growth nor respond and defend itself against it) in respect to inflammation". His assistants in lab experiments has found that normally body can kill cancer by producing an inflammation. Dr Gerson remind us that we should not assume that the tumor, the glands and the metastases can be influenced at one time or even cured all together. The concept of totality should not let us forget that each sick organ, even each node and gland, has its own pathological anatomical conditions, on which the method of healing essentially depends. This is why even two cancer patients with the same symptoms and cancer will require different treatment. This is because their body makeup and the degree of sickness of the organs are different. So how can you treat these patients with a standard formula? The treatment to start the inflammation is just to jump start it but more needs to be done. The body must be able to produce the inflammation on it own to be effective against cancer. So in order to maintain the healing process, it is necessary to apply treatment long enough to restore all vital organs to normal function to produce the same reactive processes as used by the body itself, for healing purposes. During the healing process when the tumor masses are in the process of dissolution, there is a greater amount of highly active protein-intermediary substances such as histamine, histidine, etc which can activate different pathological reactions all over the body. This counteract the healing power. To neutrilise and eliminate them is the task of the therapy. The Gerson medication uses two main body minerals - iodine (I) and potassium (K). According to Holler and Singer iodine invades cancel tumors when inflamed. Potassium appears to play an indispensable and unique role in tissue protein synthesis. Muscles, brain and liver normally have higher potassium content than sodium but the situation is reversed in tumor cells. Other medications used (depending on cancer and disease) includes acidol pepsin (to aid the pancreas), royal jelly (50gm half hour before breakfast), niacin (one of the vitamin B2 given at the beginning to bring back sufficient glycogen into the liver cells) and vitamin B12 (to bring the sick body to combine aminoacids to build protein substances).
This morning, I woke up at the usual time but my stomach was full of gas. There are also more noticeable pain around the tights and ribs. I am not sure if there are flare-up or the disease is getting the upper hand. My digestion is also no good. This week, I did a lot of errands and as a result I did not have sufficient juices to drink. I have lost another kg and this could be due to me not eating enough throughout the day. I am suppose to eat when I am hungry but I did not. I also skipped my supper and tidbits in between. I need to be more discipline to ensure that I followed the therapy closely for I risk the consequences. I suspect it was the apricots seeds that I took a few days ago that cause the change. Today I decided to put my own house in order, to try and follow as closely as possible. I am looking forward to tomorrow for the Homeopathy treatment that I will be receiving. Up to now, the battle has been status quo. Although this although is good news that the disease did not deteriorate but it cannot be sustained over long periods.

5 November 2009
Doing any cancer therapy is very difficult. If you go conventional, many people (including myself) will be questioning. Doing alternative therapy is even worst. Suddenly you have so many "experts" even giving their own opinions, be it friends and family. I believe all of these people have one thing in mind, that is the your welfare at heart. They think what is best for you and many have read from books or that articles. Some articles are complementary and some are contradictory. I myself had read a number of books and this book says it's ok but not that book. Same goes for advices given by friends. I believe that no matter what advice have been given, as an interested party, we must understand first the nature of our own problem and then the solution being recommended. We must do some research. After all, a life is at stake. For cancer patients, we may not get second chances and our trial period is very short. A short two months could mean the end. I have no single solution either.
Many books on cancer attempt to explain how cancer is caused. For example Cherie Calbom in her book The Complete Cancer Cleanse, explains that cancer is a malignant growth that starts from a cell which escapes homeostatic control and reproduces at will and shows abnormal growth pattern. From there these cells compete with normal cells for nutrition and to some degree autonomous. As they grow, they invade surrounding tissues and formation of secondary growth - known as metastasis. Many of the conventional medicine therefore treat cancer as a local phenomena. Got tumor in kidney, cut the kidney. Got tumor in the breast, cut the breast. Got tumor in the liver, cut the liver. Got tumor in the lungs, oops... maybe cannot cut as the patient may die. Instead apply chemo over the lungs. But if you noticed, the cancer almost always come back with a vengeance. What does this tells you? Conventional medicine only treat the symptoms. Alternative treatment such as homeopathy, Gerson therapy and others looks at cancer from a different point of view. The cells are only the vehicle for the cancer to spread. Beneath the cells are enzymes that causes the cells to misbehave. How did these enzymes come about? So to handle the problem, you handle the enzymes, or the root cause of the problem. Cancer cells are all over the body. So when you get cancer, your body is telling you something that you ate in the past is not right and you are given an opportunity to correct it. For Dr Max Gerson, cancer is not a local but a general disease, caused chiefly by the poisoning of foodstuffs prepared by modern farming and food industry. Dr T. Colin Campbell in The China Study in 2005, which is a "survey of death rates for twelve different kinds of cancer for more than 2,400 counties and 880 million (96%) of their citizens" conducted jointly by Cornell University, Oxford University, and the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine over the course of twenty years. The authors introduce and explain the conclusions of scientific studies, which have correlated animal-based diets with disease. The authors conclude that diets high in protein, particularly animal protein (including casein in cow's milk) are strongly linked to diseases such as heart disease, cancer and Type 2 diabetes. In an interview by Mike Anderson in the educational DVD Healing Cancer From the Inside Out, Dr Campbell states that cancel cells can be turn on and off through diet. So now you know.
I have been keeping contact with my ex-colleagues, even those 30 years ago from my first job (though not every one of them). But my best ex-colleagues that I met was from HLA and MPI days. We may have our differences at work, but I believe if one is sincere in his work, there will always be true friends, friends that do not fore sake you. I have seen and felt it. Yesterday Peter Tai gave me a visit and brought me some financial help contributed by these ex-colleagues of mine. Earlier in the day I met my ex-CEO, Fook Wah during breakfast and he has also chip in to help. Words cannot express my gratitude and I would like to thank all you you sincerely. One way is for me to recover and then come and visit each of you to thank you personally as I have the list of names.
Although I have started my Gerson therapy for over 6 weeks now, I am not following the full therapy. As a result, I have to rely on additional therapy. For this, I am seeking treatment of Dr Ramakrishnan (http://www.drramakrishnan.com), a prominent Western trained doctor but uses homeopathic medicine to treat cancer and other advance diseases. Although based in India, Dr Rama travels around various regions of the world to offer his services. I am fortunate that he visits Singapore every two months and need not go to India to meet him and seek treatment. I will be meeting him this Saturday and this will start my alternative treatment and meet him once every two months for medication. Together with Gerson therapy, I believe this combination will be my road to recovery. The road is long and will take two years but then again, this is no ordinary sickness. That's why prevention is better than cure.
Many books on cancer attempt to explain how cancer is caused. For example Cherie Calbom in her book The Complete Cancer Cleanse, explains that cancer is a malignant growth that starts from a cell which escapes homeostatic control and reproduces at will and shows abnormal growth pattern. From there these cells compete with normal cells for nutrition and to some degree autonomous. As they grow, they invade surrounding tissues and formation of secondary growth - known as metastasis. Many of the conventional medicine therefore treat cancer as a local phenomena. Got tumor in kidney, cut the kidney. Got tumor in the breast, cut the breast. Got tumor in the liver, cut the liver. Got tumor in the lungs, oops... maybe cannot cut as the patient may die. Instead apply chemo over the lungs. But if you noticed, the cancer almost always come back with a vengeance. What does this tells you? Conventional medicine only treat the symptoms. Alternative treatment such as homeopathy, Gerson therapy and others looks at cancer from a different point of view. The cells are only the vehicle for the cancer to spread. Beneath the cells are enzymes that causes the cells to misbehave. How did these enzymes come about? So to handle the problem, you handle the enzymes, or the root cause of the problem. Cancer cells are all over the body.

4 November 2009
This morning, I was in town to run some errands (as in Monday as well). By the time I completed my work and came home, it was almost 11.30am. although I did bring some carrot+apple juices in a thermos flask, the quality of the juices deteriorates over time. For vegetable juices, you cannot even store them and must drink immediately upon juicing.
I have also been religiously doing my coffee enema. But of late, I noticed that salt taste around my mouth. I am not sure if this is the k-salt or the salts excreted during the coffee enema. My skin feels a little saltish like you just came out from swimming in the sea.
The last few days, I noticed some changes to my body. Every morning I wake up to bad breath. In addition I also experience some pain around my neck. There are also some little pain around my ribs and right arm pit. These are not very good signs. I then re-examined my diet to see what I could have done wrongly. The only change I made to my diet was when I took in apricot seeds from 24 October onwards. This recommendation was based on the book by Philip day, CANCER Why We're Still Dying To Know The Truth wherein it was recommended to take 6 seeds per hour with a daily quota of between 50-60 seeds. That was the only additional thing I did in my diet. Is this change giving me problems? Under the Gerson therapy, seeds and nuts are not allowed. This is because seeds and nuts contains too much oil and protein as well which is bad for cancer patients. The bad breath was due to the protein in the apricot seeds. The breath went away when I stopped eating the apricot seeds but I have been eating the seeds for almost 10 days. Dr Gerson is very particular of his therapy and even wrote in his book on page 217 "It is advisable not to start the treatment, if for any reason strict adherence to it is not possible". Even in many of the other therapies that are similar to Gerson, they do use different form of supplements. In my case, I had to modify the Gerson therapy not because I did not want to follow but some of the supplements are not obtainable in Malaysia. I am also sad to report that sometime ago, a lady that followed the Gerson therapy did not make it. According to my homeopathic practitioner, it did lengthened the lady's life but she could not be saved. He felt that she did not commence treatment of the cancer. JUST ON JUICING AND PLANT DIET IS NOT ENOUGH. The Gerson therapy comprises three crucial elements: coffee enema detox (to detox the whole body over a period of time), organic plan nutrition and diet (no salt, sugar and oil) and supplements (to kill off the cancer cells). Most of us are able to perform the first two but not the third due to the non availability of some of the supplements and this is the danger of going fully on the Gerson therapy. Since I am on a modified therapy, I need to vary it. For the supplements part, I tried to follow as closely as possible but I also supplemented with homeopathic treatment to deal with the tumor cells. Now that i have stopped eating the apricot seeds, I will monitor for changes.
The female cancer statistics for the years 1998-2002 for Singapore are as follows:
The above are major cases affecting women. As with the males, the higher your age group, the more at risk you are. So change you lifestyle. Go for prevention rather than detection. Save yourself now! The numbers in the tables are not correctly displayed and I will correct them later.

3 November 2009
I have met a number a number of ex-colleagues over the last three weeks and I am happy to note that I am blessed with caring friends. Not only have they taken their time off but also money to assist me in whatever way they can. Thank you to all. With some weight losses of about 8kgs, I think I am now healthier than before. The saying of you are what you eat is really true. Being lighter, I do not carry excess baggage. The body feels lighter and less fatigue. Food intake also becomes reduced. Many said my completion looks better than before. Yes, I do feel alive and in control and hope to keep that way.
When I was in Singapore to meet my oncologist and urologist, while waiting to meet them, i read some interesting cancer statistics which I like to share. National Cancer Center Singapore started keeping cancer statistics way back in 1968. The number of cases by age group of males from 1998 to 2002 is shown below:
As you can see from the above, the older you are the more likely you can get cancer. Some of the reasons could be that the general health condition of a older person declines, continuation of bad eating habits, declining immune system, not exercising and possibility the not taking care of general health. The older you are, the more you have to be careful. You can still make a difference today. Don't wait till it's too late. I will publish the female's statistics tomorrow.
Today I want to talk a little bit about the diet that I am having. Yesterday one of my ex-colleague Chin Aik called me and told me that he also did vegetable juicing but felt giddy possibly due to to lack of energy. He used a centrifugal juicer. As I have said previously, such juicers will kill the nutrients and enzymes and what's left is just the water and taste of the vegetables. Hence, the person will not get sufficient nutrients that his body needs. Furthermore, you cannot actually use the juicer to substitute for say lunch or dinner. This is because, if you do juice, you must ensure that you have sufficient calories, that means drinking juices on more regular intervals and also ensure that your juicer is not a centrifugal one. I alternate between carrot+apple and vegetable juices and take about 10 juices per day at hourly intervals except during lunch and dinner time. So ensure that you use the correct type of juicer and also sufficient calories. Also the centrifugal type will also contain the vegetable pulp which you will drink along. your stomach will be quite full and it will be difficult for you to juice and drink regularly. i only drink the juices and discard the fruit and vegetable pulp. Do it right, I believe you will have an extremely healthy body.
