This time, my trip to Singapore was tiring. The main reason was that I had to run an errand for Mama S. I have agreed to help her start the Gerson Therapy (GT) and as such I detoured a little to buy supplements for her. Those supplements are kept in glass bottles and it was rather heavy. I was sort of drained carrying those bottles.
Anyway after examining my blood test and radiologist reports, Dr Rama said he was happy with my progress and said he is confident of improving the situation. Notwithstanding the discovery of a new nodule, he said the important aspect now is ensure that the liver does not deteriorate. As expected, he started me with a new remedy to deal with the liver and tumors in general. This phase of treatment would probable go on for the next six months and recommended me to go for another scan in September 2010. I have finally managed to get my hand on the liver supplements and started taking it since yesterday.
My back pain and in particular my left shoulder pain are improving. So I will not be going for further acupuncture for the time being. I have been doing stretching and back exercising and it helps to relieve the pain. Mostly the pain are motion or pressure induced. My personal oxygen generator finally arrived and I started using it yesterday. Due to the constant flow of air, the month and nose is a little bit dry. I take the oxygen therapy in between juices, 20 minutes at a time.

Homeopathy Body Reaction
Of late I noticed my body is kind of "heaty" judging from my mouth and tongue ulsers and slight pain around the shoulders. According to my food intake, this is unlikely to happen. There are two possibly reasons, the mosr likely sour is from my homeopathy treatment and the other being lack of sleep. Although I retire to bed around 11pm daily, my sleep is disturbed because I need to get up once a night to urinate because of the frequently juicing that I take earlier in the day. I have tried to complete the juicing by 7.30pm latest. Of course I unirate before retiring but it did not helped much. Between 8pm and 10.30pm I take my homeopathy medication during which time I do not take in any food. When I do not have sufficient sleep, I used to get tiredness around the shoulders and neck.
Homeopathy medication, according to my local practitioner, Vishuddi Lee treat a patient by directly administring the element that is causing the problem. For example, if you have hypertension, you will be administered a very light element of sodium as part of the medication. The element given is light enough not to cause any problems but at the same time would stimulate the body to rteact and build it defenses. In my case, administring the element phosphorus is similar. Phosphorus causes heatiness in the body. That is probably why my ulcers took so long to recover and also notices recurrence of some pimples aound my mouth. Yesterday evening, when I took the evening homeopathy pill, the hotness around my face was more intense and longer than I have experienced so far.
So people keep asking me if I am OK and I tell them that if I am still able to walk, talk, eat and sleep that's a good sign. In my case the problem is within me and not so noticeable. No new major symptoms has appeared and I hope that it will remain that way. I will really know when I do the next scan which I scheduled in Janaury 2010 but most likely delay it to March 2010 as it is six months from my initial scan.

9 November 2009
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.
