Is There A Cure For Cancer Through Alternate/Complimentary Medicine (by Kenny)

As most of you may have known that recently I was diagnosed with cancer (Infiltrating Undifferentiated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma), what a long medical description. In general term, it's a nose cancer at the nasal area and cannot be operated. The tumour has already infiltrated into the skull of my head to the brain. After consulting with several onocologist from various hospitals,it was confirmed that I'm in stage T4No and the only treatment is through chemotherapy and radiotherapy of which is not only expensive (ranging from RM 40,000-RM 90,000) but dangerous. Not only will I be partial deaf, I may lose my eyesight along side with other side effects. So what other choice besides the modern medication.

I was introduced to alternate/complimentary medication by a friend of my sister. Initially I was very negative about this sort of treatment as it is not been medically proven and the person treating me is not a real qualified doctor. What does he knows about treating my conditions? After much encouragement from my wife and family members, I took up courage and seek complimentary treatment about 3 months ago. Before the treatment, I used to weight 110kgs (I was very fat with big tummy :)). I'm also a pre diabetic with high blood pressure. See below photos, before (left) and after treatment (right).

After going through the treatment, my weight is now 85kgs, a total lost of 25kgs in 3 months. Good news is I'm no longer diabetic and my blood pressure has been normalize. This is indeed a good way of losing weight the healthy way. This method of treatment requires strict discipline and involve change of eating habits and lifestyle. It is all about eating right with good supplements to boost up our body immune system to fight back. I heard lots of people have survived through this method. However not many people can follow and go through it.

Some of the strict rules in this method as follows:-

1. No rice, noodles, cakes, bread and anything that contains carbohydrate/sugar. Cancer thrives on sugar (cancer cells consumes 5 times more glucose requirement compared with ordinary cells in our body). Many fruits also contains sugar (fructose/glucose). Avoid fruits like water melon (the most dangerous of all fruits), papaya, mango and etc.

2. No eating meat especially red meat like beef, mutton,chicken. However fish can be eaten except for cod fish as it is toxic. You may ask why do I get my energy from. Take lots of protein either from eating or from drinks like potatoes, millet rice, coco drinks minus the sugar.

3. No beverages like milo, coffee, teh tarik and etc because it contains sugar.

4. No salt even soy sauce as it would inflame the tumour.

5. Eat lots of vegetables as raw as possible. Light stir fry is allowable but with less oil. Normal cooking oil is not recommended. Use grapeseed oil instead.

6. Try changing body composition from acidic to alkali. Drink alkali water instead. So far only two available machine that produce alkali water, one is from Panasonic (of which I have bought one myself) and the other one from Korea called Melody.

7. As alkali water machine are expensive (ranging from RM 1700-3400), other alternative to produce alkali water is to squeeze some lemon into the water before drinking it. When lemon water absorb into our body, it will turn into alkali.

8. Take lots of anti-oxidant supplements. Good brands are not cheap but they are more effective. Brands like USANA Health Science, New Life, Amway are the better ones and usually they are only available through direct marketing (MLM). Most of the supplements sold off shelf in the pharmarcy do not meet up with the grade.

9. Do not stress up. Be happy and always be in good mood. Good mood produce good chemicals in our brain which is good for our body.

10. Excercise. Regular excercise will help promotes oxygen. Cancer do not like oxygen. They are anaerobic in nature.

11. Most important is PRAY. Our God is a healer. All things are possible through HIM. It is also been proven through studies and research. Scientist do not have the answer but we, as the children of God knows why it works right?

There more detailed rules that one must follow strictly in order to maintain a healty life. For example, what vegetables is good for what or what kind of food can be taken. Try avoiding big fish especially the imported ones as they contains carbide chemical to perserve their long journey here.

The above food diet is not easy to follow through. It requires strict discipline. I'm blessed because my wife is very strict with my diet. For cancer diagnose person, one has no choice but to follow through if they do not want to go through chemo and radiotheraphy. Statistic shows about 70% of cancer diagnose survived from the following diet. Those who failed (and died) is because they could not follow it through and get back to their normal eating habit.

The above diet is not only for people who is suffering from cancer. It is also good to maintain a healthy diet so that we can live longer and healthier. It also saves money from visiting doctors. One good point is to get yourself a medical insurance as you will never know when you would need it.

Lifestyle disease like Cancer, Heart Attack, Diabetes can be fatal and it can be avoided if we change our diet and lifestyle. So remember to keep a healthy lifestlye. Finally, ask yourself this question, do we live to eat or we eat to live?

Latest member in Seow family (by Kenny)

We recently celebrated our niece's (my younger brother's baby daughter) full moon with a gathering among families and friends.


Can't imagine we are uncle and aunty now. It sounds gross what our neice would call us in Cantonese (I'll be called 'Tai Pak' and Rebecca will called 'Tai Pak Leong'. We told the parents that we would rather stick to English which sounds so much nicer, Uncle Kenny and Aunty Rebecca. Besides the foods, we had the opportunity to meet up with some relatives whom we can only meet either on festival sessions or gatherings like this.




We would like to warmly welcome our new additional member to the Seow family, Seow Zou Ee. We love you very much :).

Memorable Trip To Langkawi (by Kenny)

This is my maiden posting on the blog. Since everyone is into it, I thought of giving it a try. So this is my first blog on the recent vacation we took in Langkawi.

Recently I took my wife for a short break to Langkawi. Both of us are really excited as it has been a while since we step foot to Langkawi. Below are the events of our memorable tour.

The flight from LCCT to Langkawi took about an hour. Upon arrival, I rented a car as it would be more convenience for us to move about. To our surprised, we were offered a brand new Nissan Latio 1.6 for only RM 240 for 4 days and 3 nights.



We adjourn to check in at the hotel. We checked in at Langkasuka Resort which is 5 minutes away from the airport. Overall the resort was up to our expectation with a nice swimming pool and a marvellous beach view. We had a slight discomfort initially due to the air conditioning in our room but it was rectified.

Upon checking in, we took a short rest before heading for the hotel's swimming pool. Later in the evening, we drove to Tanjung Rhu beach to see the sunset. It was indeed a wonderful view.





After the beach, we head down to Kuah town for our dinner. We eat at a small chinese hawker stall called Wonderland Seafood which is reasonably cheap. We took a short trip to one of the largest shopping mall in Kuah town before heading back to our hotel and rested.


Day 2: After our breakfast at the hotel, we drove to Oriental Village and Langkawi Cable car. The journey was about 30 minutes away from our hotel. Upon arrival, we took the cable car ride to the peak. The view from the peak was fantastic as you can view the whole of Langkawi island. It was rather misty and cooling. We meet a couple of friends from Rusia and Pakistan.


We took the opportunity to buy some duty free stuffs in Oriental Village. We also managed to take some photos with a hawk and an eagle. Rebecca dare not put them on her hand fearing that the birds would tear off her skin with their sharp claws. On the other hand, I was having fun time with them.



Our next destination is the Underwater World to see the various types of fish. They also have Penguins (like the ones in Happy Feet) being display there. Our timing was just perfect as it was feeding time for the sharks. We are trilled to see so many types of fishes of which I've not seen before. It was really an enjoyable experience.








As we were tired after a long day of walking, we adjourn back to Kuah for our dinner. We had our dinner at the same place we had before as it was really worth the money. This time around we ordered tiger prawns with some other seafood dishes. After dinner, we decided to heal our soaring feet by doing foot reflexology at one of the shopping mall. We reached back to the hotel almost 10.30pm. Despite our tireness, we managed to enjoy ourselves by singing at the karaoke lounge. Although I'm backing up in Sunday worship but I can still manage to belt out some oldies together with my wife.

Day 3: After our breakfast, we were all ready to begin our tour in this wonderful island. We started off by visiting Mahsuri Tomb According to legend, Mahsuri was wrongfully excuted due to teachery.
Before her last breath, she laid a curse that Langkawi will not be peaceful and properous for the next seven generation. She bleeds white blood that proves her innocent.


On the way to our next destination, we drove up to Gunung Raya to see what is up at the peak of the mountain. It was quite misty on the way up to the peak of about 2,500meters above sea level. We saw a lovely resort that is currently under construction As there was a coffee house within, we took the opportunity to see what's the outlook of the hotel.
It rather a nice relaxing place to unwind and relax. We were told that the room rate would be about RM 1,500 per night. We managed to take some shots. You be the judge whether it's worth spending RM 1,500 a night here.

We drove to our next destination which is the Wildlife Park located near the hotspring. We didn't go to the hotspring as we had tried that before when we were in Sabah.



We were quite relunctant to go in initially as we thought it would be as boring as the Bird Park in KL. Moreover the entrance fees is rather high at RM 24 per pax. To our surprise, we were given a 50% discount as we are holders of MYKad. We didn't regret at all as we had great time feeding the animals and birds. We managed to take some photos.


We head down to the famous Lang Square in Kuah town to take some photos. Such a wonderful view.
A it was getting late, we were quite tired after a long day's walk and we decided to head back to our hotel and treat ourselves by dinning at the hotel since it was our last night in Langkawi. We had steamboat coupled with some side dishes of prawns and sqiuds. We really enjoyed our dinner and surprisingly it only cost us RM 76.00 with all the seafood.

Day 4: We are ready to pack up for our journey back to KL. After breakfast, we checked out and head to the airport for our departure back to KL.



It was a memorable trip which is fun. I would definately be coming again next year, maybe with my parents and also my in-laws as I know they would enjoy it.

The Flu Season Again

The last two weeks have been challenging for us. My other half came down with a flu and I tried to be the best dutiful wife to take care of him. So it was boiling soups, porridge, herbal teas etc. He was better in about 5 days but is now having a trailing stubborn cough and sinus congestion. I did catch it but I managed to fight it somewhat and am just having a sinus congestion. We have been dutifully using the neti pot to try to clear it off. It has helped and I have not needed to resort to antibiotics to tackle the problem.

On a lighter note, if anyone out there needs a job or have friends that are looking for temporary jobs, do let me know. School leavers and those who are wanting to earn some extra income can apply. The company is conveniently located in PJ. Do drop me a line if anyone is keen ya?

I will be posting more photos here in future..........just got a new camera and I am trying to figure out how to use it.
