- Chemotherapy For Cancer - Does it Make Sense?
[Cancer] If he does not take chemotherapy - it will be three to four months to live. Chris: If he takes chemo? L: Double the time, six to eight months to live. C: But the cancer cannot cured? L: Cannot. The doctor said that patients who take this chemo have only fifteen to twenty percent chance of success. I don't know why the doctor still asked us to do this. I don't know why. My husband is very old already and he is weak.
- Ten Questions About the World's Most Well Fought Battle Against Colon Cancer
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] Tony Snow used to walk along the "corridor of power" in the most powerful political office on earth. I would imagine that the most powerful man on earth would be able to do "something great" to help his beloved staff and fellowman who was in great distress. I believe that Snow would have gotten the best - the best advice, the best doctor, the best drugs and the best hospital - for him to fight his war against cancer.

[Cancer:Lung-Mesothelioma-Asbestos] While on Tarceva, Mark was told that initially the tumour had shrunk to about eighty percent of its initial size. Unfortunately this shrinkage did not last. After eight months of Tarceva (costing him approximately RM 64,000) it was clear that the treatment had failed. Mark was told the disappointing news that the tumour had grown bigger again. Tarceva was not effective. In addition, the bony metastasis got worse. Mark was on Bonefos since his diagnosis and this medication cost about RM 400 per month.

[Cancer] Her son said: "While I was in the hospital in China I have seen some patients who suffered like my mother and who underwent similar treatments.

There is no guarantee that it will not spread."

- Breast Cancer - When Chemotherapy Is Necessary
[Cancer:Breast-Cancer] Chemotherapy had helped make Anna's life better. The lump has also shrunk.

While chemotherapy did not hurt Anna, it certainly hurt the pocket.
- Hollow Prognosis - Only One Month to Live Without More Chemotherapy
[Cancer] I asked Beng what was his initial expectation when he went for medical treatment. He said: "I expected to be cured. I totally believed that the chemotherapy was going to cure me."

- How Effective Is Chemotherapy For Breast Cancer?
[Cancer:Breast-Cancer] After mastectomy, women are sent to see the oncologists. They are often told to go for chemotherapy. This treatment is like an "insurance" against future problems. The fear of recurrence is sufficient enough to make women go through chemotherapy. To them, the sufferings of the treatment are worth enduring for the promise of cure at the end of the adventure. What some oncologists don’t tell their patients is that not all the cancer cells are killed by the treatment or the treatment may not even benefit them.

- Breast Cancer Metastatised to Liver After Surgery, Chemotherapy, Radiotherapy and Arimidex - Part 2
[Cancer:Breast-Cancer] Many patients who took Arimidex for their breast cancer suffered side effects.

- The Blind Zorro And The Case of One Size Fit All Chemotherapy

- Cancer Prevention Makes No Money!
[Cancer] According to the World Cancer Report by 2020, the number of cancer cases will increase by 50%. One-third of these cancers can be prevented, and only one-third can be cured! Today, the US government spends more than US$2 billion each year trying to find this "elusive magic bullet" to cure cancer. So far no cure is in sight!

The doctor replied, "No, it's good! It must go up."
- Some Oncologists Say Honest Things
[Cancer] An oncologist said - Oncology is not like other medical specialties where doing well is the norm. In oncology, even prolonging a patient's life for three months to a year is considered an achievement.
Achieving a cure is like striking a jackpot! Not all cancers can be cured.
- Cancer War: A War Lost!
[Cancer] Perhaps fighting cancer is like the Vietnamese war? I have maintained that treating cancer based on the concept of war would never succeed! If doctors wage an unending war within the body -- what do you think happens to the battleground (your body!)?
- Cancer: Chemotherapy -- Do Unto Others As You Would Want Them Do Unto You!
[Cancer] I wonder, if any doctor would dare bring home antibiotics, steroids, chemo-drugs, etc., and give them to his family members! In a survey conducted among 118 doctors in the US, it was found that doctors would not use chemo-drugs on themselves, if they had cancer. Why is this so?
- Cancer: An Uncaring Oncologist Could Be As Deadly as the Cancer Itself

- Cancer - A Way to Win: Lead a Stress-free Life
[Cancer] Western medicine does not consider one' manner of living as important as in the treatment of diseases. Indeed, I was baffled and saddened to know that a particular doctor told his seriously ill cancer patient to go ahead and do what he likes - play strenuous badminton games and do weight-lifting. It seems like a happy-go-lucky advice - go out and do what you like, you are going to die anyway! We feel that this is not sound advice coming from a professional who should know better.
- Colon-Liver Cancer: A Story of a Miraculous Healing
[Health-and-Fitness:Alternative] Goh's condition was beyond imagination. He was unable to walk, even for a short distance to the toilet, and could barely talk.

Many people told me that sometimes even morphine or opium could not alleviate the pain. Isa took the Pain Tea (herbal concoction) as instructed, five times per day. She could now breathe and sleep well because there was no more pain.

[Cancer] Johnny was diagnosed with colon cancer and underwent a surgery which turned out to have gone wrong. He said: “The way the doctor talked to you seemed that the whole world was coming down.” The doctor asked me: “Do you have any insurance?” I replied: “Yes.” He said: “You better get rid of it -- anyway, it is not going to be your money. What have you to be afraid of -- the insurance is going to pay for you.” Just because the insurance pays for your medical treatment does not mean that they are necessary for you. Look at it another way -- unnecessary treatment could be outright dangerous or may even kill you!
- Color Cancer: Vegetable-state Terminal Cancer Brought Back to Life by Herbs
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] Poh had colon cancer. She underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Her legs weaken and her entire person lost strength.

- Colorectal Cancer: Can Diet and Herbs Out-perform Chemotherapy?
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] The perception I had was without chemotherapy, colorectal cancer patients would die -- if not all of them, at least a great majority of them. But research data does not support that perception. The difference of five-year survival between chemotherapy and no chemotherapy group is only 8% or 13.5 %. Can this slim margin not be achieved by some other non-invasive and non-toxic means?
- Colorectal Cancer Part 5: Review of Medical Literature: Not All Patients Benefit From Chemotherapy
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] After surgery, microscopic cancer cells are still left behind in the body. As an “insurance policy” patients are told by their oncologists to undergo chemotherapy or radiotherapy (or both). The idea is to kill whatever cancer cells are left behind. But how effective is this? How valid is the assumption that chemotherapy can just do that?
- Colorectal Cancer Part 6: Chemotherapy for the Elderly -- Is It Worth It?
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] The difference of benefits between chemotherapy and no chemotherapy was 7%. This benefit of increased survival comes with toxic side effects. While the younger patients might be able to tolerate the side effects, I wonder if the elderly would want to go through such “sufferings.” To the oncologists and researchers, the results were “statistically significant,” but from the viewpoint of patients, I wonder if it worth it?
- Colorectal Cancer Part 4: A Story of How a Patient is Being Misled by His Oncologist
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] I am not against chemotherapy per se. I must say, however, that I am not agreeable to the “indiscriminate” use of chemotherapy. Even more so, if the cards have not been laid out clearly on the table. Unfortunately in some cases, patients are being misled. This is one sad story of how a patient was taken for a “ride” by his oncologist.
- Colorectal Cancer Part 3: Must You Die if You Do Not Undergo Chemotherapy After Surgery?
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] It is a standard practice or golden rule so to say, that after surgery, patients are asked to undergo chemotherapy for colorectal cancer. Sometime, when the doctor does not think chemotherapy is indicated, the patients themselves do not feel safe. Think seriously about these two real life stories presented here.
- Colorectal Cancer Part 2: Medical or Herbal Treatment?
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] The primary therapy for colorectal cancer is surgery. At an early stage, surgery cures it. However, more often than not, doctors would refer patients to the oncologists for chemotherapy. 5-FU is the gold standard agent used in chemotherapy. Bob’s dad was diagnosed with colon cancer. He declined chemotherapy and opted for herbs instead. He changed his lifestyle and diet. It has been nine years and he is doing fine.
- Colorectal Cancer Part 1: Some Basic Facts You May Want to Know
[Cancer:Colon-Rectal-Cancer] Colorectal cancer is said to be the fourth most common cancer worldwide. It is second only to lung cancer as a cause of death from cancer in the US. Dietary factors are considered to be responsible for 80% to 90% of all cases of colorectal cancer.
- Cancer: Complacency is an Invitation for the Cancer to Return
[Cancer] We believe there is no permanent cure for cancer and there is no one on earth who could cure you too. Complacency invites cancer back again. So, we must always be on our guard. Once we feel well, let us continue to perpetuate that wellness so that we can continue to live a normal and meaningful life.
- Cancer and the Useless Poisonous Cures
[Cancer] Cancer patients are subjected to a barrage of cutting-edge medical treatments -- surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy, etc. How effective are these? Like in casino gambling -- many patrons tried their luck -- some win but many more lost.
- Cancer: The Shocking Truth About the Effectiveness of Chemotherapy
[Cancer] Do you want to know what is the contribution or exact role of chemotherapy to your cancer cure? If you want to know the truth, read this article: "The contribution of cytotoxic chemotherapy to 5-year survival in adult malignancies." The report of this study is exactly what cancer patients have been waiting and looking for.
- Cancer: The Ugly Truth About Chemotherapy
[Cancer] I have given only a few examples of prominent personalities who died of cancer. Do you ever ask why they died? Is it because they don’t have the best hospital to go to? Is it because they don’t have access to the best drugs? Is it because there are no good oncologists to attend to them? Is it because they don’t have the money to get the best of everything? I think the answer is glaringly evident and simple: the so-called state-of-the art cancer treatments do not work - at least for them.
- Cancer: Understanding the Body and the Need for Change to Heal
[Cancer] If you are not prepared to change there is no way that you can reverse the tide of cancer growing and spreading in your body. Let us be reminded again, the treatments that kill cancer cells are only half-done jobs. That is why most patients suffer relapses after an apparent successful treatment.
- Healing of Cancer: Placebo and Nocebo - the Power of Suggestion for Good and Evil
[Cancer] A placebo can be a powerful medicine, but unfortunately, not much is written or said about it. Neither is there any extensive research carried out on it. Nobody is going to make any money from such knowledge. Vested interest groups would be contented to exploit the advantages and benefits of the placebo effect while at the same time publicly denouncing its role, especially when it involves alternative medicines. Either way, the placebo effect serves their agenda.
- Healing of Cancer: Be An Exceptional Patient, Not A Statistic
[Cancer] In giving the prognosis, doctors are only relying on statistics. Their words are based on what literature says in terms of average. Statistical averages do not necessarily apply to you, especially if you are a patient with a strong desire to win and help yourself. Never give up!
- Healing of Cancer: Awakening the Physician Within
[Cancer] The healing power of the body is within us. There is a physician within us and this power heals us absolutely. Many of us are ignorant or are unaware of our own body's healing potential. Many of us block ourselves off from this potential, preferring to trust others whom we think can 'cure' us rather than trust our own 'Infinite Intelligence' within.
- Cancer Patients - Count Your Blessings
[Cancer] Cancer patients view their problems differently. It is up to each one to chose the positive and discard the negative. By doing this your perception on life and your illness will change. You will not feel that you are just an unfortunate victim.
- Cancer: Healing the Mind and Soul Besides Going After the Tumor
[Cancer] Medical science only addresses the physical aspect of the biological cancer, leaving a big hollow or void with regards to the emotions. This is inadequate and unsatisfactory. What the world needs is to recognise and address the emotional or psychological cancers that exist in the patients. These are equally destructive forces that eat up the patients from within.
- Healing of Cancer: Belief and the Power of the Mind
[Cancer] The understanding of the emotional mind is important in the healing of cancer. Cancer patients are under extreme emotional stress and the emotional minds are conditioned to believe in anything and accept any suggestion. As a result, cancer patients will "swallow anything" without hesitation or question! Because of this, cancer patients must be aware that a wrong emotional mindset would be destructive.
- Mass in Kidney Miraculously Disappeared After Taking Herbs
[Cancer] My father visited his surgeon. To everyone’s amazement there was no longer any sign of spot (adrenal mass) that was present in earlier scans. It has miraculously disappeared after taking your herbs.
- Cancer: Do You Find Any Meaning In Your Cancer Experience?
[Cancer] Have you experienced any other significant changes in your life as a result of your cancer experience? There may be something good in something bad that had happened. To know the good, we just need to search for it or experience it.
- Cancer: Why Some People Fail to Find Healing
[Cancer] Not all cancer patients who come and see us find their healing. Many come on a "fishing trip", hoping to find a magic potion what does not exist. Some of the reasons why people can or cannot find their healing are: fear, ignorance, afraid-to-lose attitude, quick fix and instant noodle attitude and complacence.
- Cancer Care: Integrating the Best of Western and Eastern Healing Wisdom
[Cancer] Cure for cancer still remains uncertain and elusive. The world needs more than the perspectives of medical science to help understand and solve this problem or at the very least contribute to lessen the pains and sufferings. Our strategy is combine the best of what medical science has to offer besides relying on our Eastern healing wisdom. Our Cancer Care Therapy consists of five holistic steps.
