When "Scientific" Medicine Failed ... They Look for Alternative Medicine

Dear Dr Chris,
I was introduce to CA care website by a friend of mine. My father was diagnosed with stage 5 Metases Colon Cancer - Liver last year July. And he subsequent underwent a tumour removal surgery in Aug. He then took palliative chemotherapy. Early of this year around March, he finish the 12 palliative chemotherapy cycle and the oncologist prescript a stronger type of chemo on him. He was all the while in a stable condition until recently when he took up the new chemo. Maybe it was too strong for him, but the oncologist told us the tumour marker is not dropping. It was very sad that he has to frequently sent to the hospital. He was on psychiatric treatment as well as he need sleeping pill and ant idepression pills. few weeks ago, he fall and knock his head as he was in dylirium stage cause by the sleeping pills, he was admitted to the hospital.

Last week, his appetite bacame very poor and is worrying, hence, we sent him to the hospital so that he can have drips and blood transfusion.

He can hardly walk and speak now as he is really very weak. It looks like we shld give up, but I still hope miracle can happen.

I wanted to bring him to see you but due to his condition I am afraid he can't travel to Penang … After all, I read on the "healing process" for the herbs mediation, I am also afraid that my father cannot take it.

Would like to hear your advice and opinion doctor.


Yours Sincerely,
LY

Comment: When the so-called proven, scientific medicine has failed – patients come to seek alternative medicine. I wonder what do they expect from us?
