Cancer can be cured.
However, once there is cancer cells in our body, the cancer cells will produce again.
If you are lucky, cancer cells won't replicate and harm your body.

Not really, my mom always go to yoga, aerobic and exercise. She even take care of her foods.

And? She kena cancer.

yeah, agree with puppyee, do not consume high sugary food. Anti-oxidants (co-Q10, A,C,E) may help your mum too.

organic food ... tak sedap =x

Errr....I'm not an expert. I'm still learning >.<.

I googled the Dr Luke Lin you mentioned. It's not him.

The person I'm referring to is Dr. Luke Lin Kuang Chang. I got to know about him a few years ago when I bought a random book from Popular Bookstore about Fresh, Light, Toxin-Free. It was more on concepts of eating and there were quite a number of testimonials from cancer survivors (although the way they describe the healing crisis is tough).

The Recipe Book was is titled "21 Days : Dr Luke Lin's Guid eto Toxin-free living" although I was informed that this one couldn't be bought in bookstores.

His detox diet is really popular amongst the Chinese community from what I hear from friends. Food is a bit bland because it's mostly steam/boiled but his philosophy of food selection is a mesh of Western and Chinese nutrition philosophy. That's what makes it intriguing.

That's sad. But I can understand the anger and frustration of the cancer patient though.

Dr. Luke Lin's diet is nothing new though. Looking at so many food health sites as well as healthy cooking recipes and reading and checking out weight loss sites, what he recommends is nothing new, to be honest. But when one is promoting healthy living for cancer patients or terminally ill patients, one should expect backlash if things go wrong, like what is happening now.

Dr. Luke Lin advocates taking plant enzymes to help with food digestion. That's probably the only difference from what I see in weight loss sites and recipe books. However, having taken plant enzymes in the past, I must admit that it's not easy to take it all the time because it made my stomach clenched and I stop it. But the healthy eating practices is not that much different from the Western world.

The other thing about having cancer is that the patient would have an underperforming body system i.e. it has become weaker and therefore cannot always eat like we do. It's also the same for detox diets : they may have more adverse side effects than we do.

The other thing about the Detox diet is the Healing Crisis effect i.e. the release of a higher concentration amount of toxins from the body that the body organs cannot clean it fast enough and so the person on the detox diet would feel more uncomfortable. There's a name for this effect in medical terms - will look for it later once lag goes away . I don't quite understand it well but I can imagine that a cancer patient having a difficult time to get over it because their bodies are already weak.

At the time of the post, I haven't read a book by Dr. Ray Strand but after reading his book, I'm becoming more convinced that there is quite a lot of truth about nutritional supplements with healthy eating and regular exercise may help. But whether it's too late for cancer patients, I don't know.

Hmm...are you saying that chronic diseases, it's not necessarily to see a doctor? Or are you saying that acute diseases, it's not necessary to have a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and appropriate nutritional supplement? (English is such a confusing language).

I must admit that the book is tough reading and I had to do a lot of flipping between the pages just to refresh my memory a bit. Although the amount of supplements he's recommending is quite a lot, even for basic nutritional level. Just comparing Kordel's and Blackmore's supplements nutritional labels online, I'm guessing easily RM400-RM500 a month. This was just a quick check though.

Ah, that's good to know.

Although we may have to be careful when it comes to sharing with cancer patients who may be coming here to this thread. Recovery can be chancy and it is sometimes stated that Hope can be a stressful emotion.

I have 5 relatives diagnosed with cancer, and only two still alive.

My 1st aunt (mother's side) died in about one year after diagnosis of breast cancer. When she die, I was only about one years old.

My 4th aunt (mother's side) diagnosed with uterus cancer after give birth to my cousin more than 10 years ago. Luckily, the cancer was found early. She have her uterus removed immediately, and still alive today.

My grandfather (dad's side) died from lung cancer when I was about 13. He never smoke, none of my family members smoke. Doctor said he can't have operation or any treatment because of old age.

My father died from pancreatic cancer about 3 years ago. In 2004, he was diagnosed with this disease and have large part of pancreas removed. He do chemotherapy. About two years later, the cancer relapse and spread. He died after a few months. Doctor said my dad can life about 2 and half years already considered lucky, as most of the patient with this cancer cannot live more than one year.

My grandmother (mother's side) diagnosed with lymphoma. She is still alive but she never believe that she has this disease. She is stubborn, doesn't believe the doctor. She refuse for treatment.

Nowadays, even babies also get cancer.

However, if you or your family having cancer, don't follow my grandmother. Just follow what the doctor said, do whatever treatment suggested by doctor. Good luck.

believe in doctors is part of effort of a cancer patient.much better to follow doc advice rather than do nothing and seek help from unrecognized pawang or bomoh or other laternative practitioner.if u didnt agree with a doctor, u can seek for another doctor for second opinion.

Yes. This is true. Not every doctors in this world are dishonest. One doctor is bad does not mean all other doctors are bad. We can always seek for different opinions by different doctors.
