You Just Have To Come to Penang

Dear Sir/Mdm,

Iam the husband of Mdm. G. Four months ago she was diagnosed with a tumour on her right breast. She was advised to go for biopsy and have the breast removed if found to be cancerous. After due consideration and consultations with family members, she decided to seek alternative treatments such as on strict vegetarian diets, Bio Resonance treatment and excercises. She lost about 8 kilos of her weight and now maintaining. We learnt about your organisation and read your web's articles. We would like to seek your help and advice. Is there a branch near Singapore where we can seek some herbals treatments?

Your kind assistance would be much appreciated.
With warm regards.

Reply: Sorry, no branch in S’pore ... you just have to come to Penang and see me.

Melanoma: Chemo and Radiotherapy – No Cure?

Hi Dr. Chris.

I heard about you through Mr. Yeong Sek Yee and the website www.cacare.com.

I wish to get some advice from you regarding my father's cancer case.

My father 69 years old, was diagnosed with melanoma in early 2010 and the tumour is found on his back (upper part). After going through 2 times surgery to remove the tumour at the back, the follow up check-up discovered that the cancer re-occur and spread to lymph node at left and right of his arm-pit.

My father is on chemotherapy now, completed 3 sessions, still pending for another 3 sessions. On top of that, my father also had gone through 15 sessions of radiotherapy at his back.

After recent review with the oncologist in-charge for my father's case, the oncologist said that the tumour at the back had shrunk and the lymph nodes at the arm-pits grew bigger. Thus, the oncologist proposed to have radiotherapy at the lymph nodes two weeks later.

Throughout the chemotherapy & radiotherapy sessions that have been carried out, my father's body became weaker and his WBC & RBC were lowered. I am worried and thinking on how to help my father to overcome his health crisis.

So through books & internet, I found that lifestyle changes, eating well, exercise, and a stress free environment are equally important aspects of healing cancer. So, I am trying to get my father to understand the importance of lifestyle changes as part of his cancer healing process.

Besides that, is there any other way, like herbs treatment or others that Dr Chris can propose to help my father's melanoma case?

Looking forward to your reply soon.

Thanks a million.

Reply: Thanks. I have written enough about all these in my website ... and you just need to read what I wrote. There is NO point for me to write again and again the same old stuff. Go to the case studies and the videos ... and see Mr. Yeong. He can help you.

Not All Patients Are Meant to Take Herbs

Subject: urgent inquiries
Dr.Chris,

Let me introduce myself briefly. I am an anxious daughter of a cancer patient who is suffering 2nd stage ovarian cancer. My mom has had her ovaries and uterus removed and is scheduled for chemotherapy (single dose carboplatin) this coming Wednesday (23 June 2010). I would like to know whether what herbs can help her cope with the chemo, as well as improving her immunity? Pls suggest. As I am now watching her diet closely, I hope the herbs can give her a helping hand too.
On top of that, I am residing in KL. Can I know what is the fastest way to get the herbs from you, as I know you are based in Penang.
Looking forward for your reply. Your kindness is very much appreciated.
Warmest regards.

Dear Dr. Chris,
I've consulted Mr. Yeong. Has been consuming C-tea since then, and chemo tea once for the 1st chemo. However, Mr. Yeong advised my mom to take another tea for ovarian/uterine cancer. Because of financial issue, I am yet to decide whether to consume one more herb. My concern is that since she already had her organs removed, is it still necessary to consume the above-mentioned tea? and why?
I hope to hear from you again.
Anxious daughter.

Reply: I suggest that you do the chemo and follow what the doctors want you to do and do NOT take the herbs ... No use... the herbs are not going to help her. Only 30% of patients who come and see me benefit and 70% don't. Chris

Breast Cancer - the Waiting Game

27 December 2009
Dear Dr. Chris,

I'm S. I live in Jakarta. I've known you in the last 2 years through the website, and since then I'm registered to receive your newsletter regularly.

During the time, I've read a lot of amazing stories about your medication. I agree with your view that modern treatment for cancer through chemo is not the best way for battling cancer.

Actually, my mother also suffers from breast cancer (left breast), but her condition has been getting better after I brought her to one 'sinseh' (Chinese traditional doctor) in Jakarta. This sinseh gave her a kind of mushroom (ling tze), and my mom can survive for the last 2 years even though she was said to have a Stage-3 cancer (sorry I'll give the details later since I don't have the medical record with me now).

Previously, my mom underwent a brain surgery to remove a brain tumour in May 2007 (acoustic neurinoma meningioma). The surgery was successful but she can't swallow and has to eat through feeding tube until now. She only eats a nutritional liquid called Peptisol everyday. Most of the time, she also drinks apple juice between meals. She's reluctant to eat other meals such as blended porridge, but sometimes she eats the red rice porridge as advised by the sinseh.

She had used tracheostomy after the brain surgery, and 6 months later the trach was removed but the hole in the neck is still open until now. We cover it with bandage and replace it twice a day.

However, the sinseh stopped giving her ling tze in the last several months because she said my mom's already cured. The lump in the breast was the waste of hormones and not dangerous, although the lump is getting bigger in the last several months.

This morning, I've heard that my mom's nipple is bleeding, but not much. Every now and then, she feels pain in the breast but not continuously. In the last X-ray of the lungs (in October 2009), the doctor didn't find any sign of cancer spread there.

Dr. Chris, that's the reason I wrote you this email. I really want to bring my mom to see you, but frankly, I think I can't afford the cost. I've spend a lot of money for her medication during this time, even I still have to payback my loans to the banks up to now, and I don't have any savings now.

Could you please advise me what's the best way of medication for her now? Do the meals also contributed to her recovery process? And doctor, could you please give me an approximation of cost for your treatment?

Thank you so much for your help, doctor.

Dear Prof. Chris,

Please take a look on the e-mail below from S. The e-mail she sent you was on December 27, 2009. And as usual you replied her on the same day.

Last week (seven month later) S phoned me to ask for help. I don't understand from December 27, 2009 up to now, what was she doing ? Why just call for our help now ... until the problem has become serious?

Can you please give me your advice ... how we can help her mom.

Thank you . Teddy.S

Comment: I really don’t know what I can do. I cannot help by just sitting in front of the computer.

Very Bad TB? No, I can't help

Hi Dr Chris,

I have a friend who was diagnosed with a multi resistant virus from the TB family recently. The virus is attacking and causing multiple holes to his lungs. The doctor said that it is a very rare disease. Only 3 Singaporeans get it in a year. And the doctor told my friend that he is at the final line of combating this disease. So far, there hasn't been any successful survivor. He has to receive 3 injections daily with other oral medications. All these drugs are weakening and causing lots of pain and aches to his entire body. The doctor is only giving him another 3 years of lifespan. He also warned my friend that he could collapse and die any moment if his immunity is too weak to fight the virus.

I desperately need to seek your advice on this. Do you think you can help him? My friend is willing to fly up to Penang to see you if needed.

B, Singapore


Reply:
Sorry B --- I cannot help him because I only know cancer --- every other things, I don't know.

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?

Hi,

I am writing on behalf of my mom. She is unfit to fly to Penang for her visit now. I am writing in hoping medications could be send to her in Indonesia. I need an on line diagnostic and any cost to be made please let me know will be done Via Electronic transfer because she is indeed not well to fly to Penang and moving her will only cause more depression and distress.

But I was only told and knew Herbal alternative through internet "Googling".
Please Help as you can.

History of her illness:

2005 In Germany body check up found spots in lungs but was dismissed by family as small matter. Went back to Singapore and was treated as Fungus. Since much coughing ... went to Singapore for check up, did a Biospsy on lungs, pet scan.

August 2009, told by doctor that she gave up Chemo. Suggested surgery.
September 2009 Right lobectomy (remove lower 1/3)
October 2009 Left Lobectomy (remove 1/2)

My mom while on chemo has always been healthy and as fit as a bull. Since surgery, normal signs of weakness, fatigue.

But overall, she was back to her normal activities (working and super active woman)
She refused to believe in another round of Chemo. Has Phobia of hospitals and needles.

2010 January-February family holiday to Korea and Hong Kongand all.
2010 March, gall stone caused her right side in pain. Went to Singapore and was removed early April.2 stones (1 as cherry seed size) another smaller.

30 years ago she has a mastectomy as well.

My mom is now 63 years old. Her pain is lumps at surface and goes below her armpit and sometimes move near her breast.

I do not want my mom to give up hope just because she cannot meet you and I just got to you while "googling" today. Please reply to me and let me know how I am able to assist you further with this case. I am willing to put a deposit with you first as well.
Just let me know. Thank you very much. We need your help and medication.

In my previous e mail, I explained to you about mom's condition. She in now in ICU due to Pneumonia. Please help me arrange the medication needed to stop the pain in her metatase and to delay the cancer. I know she is already at her late stages.

Please Help and e mail me ASAP. What combination of the natural medicines will be give, and how much? Delivery to Indonesia as well.

Thank you so Much. I look forward to your reply.

Reply: This is not about money. CA Care mission is not based on commercial enterprise. The medical history of your mom is most shocking. Now that she is in the ICU, there is nothing we can do to help. Let the doctors help her. Also, we don’t have any magic bullet here.
