In my book, Prostate Cancer Healed Naturally, I wrote, “To me, cancer is not just about a tumour in your breast, lung or liver. It is about you, as a human being. There is this quotation, There is no incurable disease, only incurable people. Therefore, my lengthy interview with patients enable me to assess each patient as a whole and “predict” the probable outcome – whether we would be able to repeat the healings that we experience in CA Care. Unfortunately, ...

Failed Medical Treatment, Healing Crisis after Herbs, Bad Diet and Family Problems

Part 1: Failed Medical Treatment

CE is a 56-year-old lady. She lives in Penang, down the road where our centre is.  Sometime in March 2010 she was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer. No operation was ...

Tony was a 49-year old male. A CT scan of the abdomen done in November 2002 indicated mild dilatation of the biliary tree and pancreatic duct, likely due to a peri-ampullary neoplasm.

Tony went to Singapore and underwent an operation on 15 November 2002. A part of his stomach, duodenum, proximal jejunum, head of the pancreas and gall bladder were removed.

The histopathology report indicated moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma at the ampulla of Vater with ulceration of the duodenal papilla. After the surgery, the doctor told Tony that everything was ...

For Those Who Acted Too Smart, Too Educated and Too Demanding

Mr. Nut was a 56-year-old male. Sometime in January 2001, he went to see a doctor with a history of bloody stools. A colonoscopy indicated colon cancer. An ultrasound scan demonstrated multiple metastases in the liver.

Nut underwent palliative surgery after receiving 14 cycles of chemotherapy. At first the treatment showed good response. Then the CEA started to increase from 5.7 in November 2002, to 24.6 in March 2003. A ...

“Regrets? I have a few. Too much worrying? I worried about finding the right husband and having children, being on time, being late and so on. It didn’t matter.

It all works out and it would have worked out without the worries and the tears. If I would have known then what I know now? But, I did and so do you. We’re all going to die. Stop worrying and start loving and living.”

These were the words from a letter which ...

Shepherd of my soul
I give You full control
Wherever You may lead
I will follow.

I have made the choice
To listen to Your voice
Wherever You may lead
I will go.

Be it in a quiet pasture
Or by a gentle stream
The Shepherd of my soul
Is by my side.

Should I face a mighty mountain
Or a valley dark and deep
The Shepherd of my soul
Will be my ...

On 25 April 2012, I had the privilege to meet GS. He had colon cancer that had spread to his liver. Seven of 12 lymph nodes were also affected.  His problem started when he passed out loose stools with blood, otherwise his health was fine.

A colonoscopy confirmed a tumour in his sigmoid colon. Subsequently GS underwent a surgery. This operation cost him RM 27,000. After surgery he was told that ...

God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a way

Most of us have experienced that feeling of, “is this all there is?” “Is my life destined for this existence of semi-happiness, constantly chasing something I can’t seem to attain?” It seems that we focus on what we don’t have rather than what we do have. Your new house loses its luster when your best friend moves into a bigger one. Your 3 day vacation in Vermont seems less exciting when you ...

As a cancer patient, being terminally ill and facing the prospect of death is not an easy journey for many people. This is generally a time filled with not only physical pain and scars but also emotional and social challenges. However, with spirituality, many people are better able to cope with life-threatening illnesses and to enjoy the positive psychological effects that it offers.

Spirituality may mean different things to ...

“God doesn’t require us to succeed, he only requires that you try.”

“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.”

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”

“If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.”

“Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person.”

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may ...

I will come to you in the silence,

I will lift you from all your fear,

You will hear My voice,

I claim you as My choice,

Be still and know I am near.

I am hope for all the hopeless,

I am eyes for all who long to see,

In the shadow of the night,

I will be your Light,

Come and rest in Me.

Do not be afraid, I am with you,

I will call you each by name,

Come ...

I dreamed I had an interview with God.

“So you would like to interview me?” God asked.

“If you have the time” I said.

God smiled. “My time is eternity.”
“What questions do you have in mind for me?”

“What surprises you most about humankind?”

God answered…
“That they get bored with childhood,
they rush to grow up, and then
long to be children again.”

“That they lose their health to make money…
and then lose their money to restore their health.”

“That by thinking anxiously about ...

Four candles slowly burned.
The ambience was soft,
One could almost hear them talking.

The first candle said, “I am Peace!
The world is full of anger and fighting.
Nobody can keep me lit.”
Then the flame of Peace went out completely.

Then the second candle said: “I am Faith!
I am no longer indispensable.
It doesn’t make sense
that I stay lit a moment longer.”
Just then a breeze softly blew out Faith’s flame.

Sadly the third candle began to speak:
“I ...
