Shock of cancer diagnosis despite regular check

Would like to share this article which I saw in Straits Times lately

"When she heard that she had a fairly big tumour, she said: "I couldn't believe or accept it. I had been going to the NUH to check so regularly"

This is so common nowadays that despite regular scan and checks, yet a person is diagnosed with cancer still. 

Thankful to what I learnt in Nutritional Immunology, I know that cancer doesn't occurs overnight. 

Most of the time, when a person is undergoing scan, cancer cells could be below 1mm, thus it's undetectable. However, it doesn't mean cancer doesn't exist. 

The most sophisticated instruments can only detect tumors when it reaches 1mm, which is equivalent of about 1 million cancer cell

Read up: What does cancer staging means?

In the recent Nutritional Immunology Chapter 3 that I attended, from the Radiological Society of North America, I learnt that for each scan that we did, we are exposing to radiation too. 

For example for a CT scan for Calcium Scoring, it means that we are exposing to the radiation for approx 1 year with 1 scan. 

Always be a wise consumer. Only by being a wiser consumer, we are able to make informed choice. 

What is the best way to prevent Cancer ? 

We have best doctor within us, which is our Immune System. Only by nourishing our Immune System on the daily basis, it will help us to fight against diseases regularly. Ultimately, we are what we eat. 

Prevention is the best cure.

How I stay young and stay healthy with Oxyginberry

Aging is major culprit for most illnesses, irregardless of our age, aging happens. 

Aging happens both internally, and externally.

Let's look at what will happen when we age?

Of course there are other issues, such as hair dropping, chronic fatigue, skin sagging etc.

A recent article that emphasizes on why there's a tremendous increase in the number of people getting cancer, which is due to Aging Population


Our body age due to exposure of FREE RADICALS 

Where does free radicals come from?

c
All these free radicals causes aging, and depleting of collagen in our body

Read up more on Why Collagen depletes after 25 years old?

I encounter serious insomnia, and gastric while I was working in investment bank 7 years back, due to high stress and irregular meal hour. I tends to delay my meal timing due to meeting or when rushing projects. 

I wasn't aware that my body was deteriorating back then. Without much knowledge on health, I was loaded myself with sleeping pills, anti-acid and pain killers with the hope to get better.

While I loaded myself with all these medication, I suffer from side effects, especially chronic fatigue, hair dropping, and frequent flu and cough. 

As a consumer, informed choice and right knowledge is important to safe guard our health. I wasn't aware back then. 

I did spring cleaning early last year, just spotted all these are in my cabinets still, which I had thrown away some. 

This is me and my best friend before I get to know about Nutritional Immunology. I was 28, always tired. 

f

Thanks for giving myself opportunity to learn more about Nutritional Immunology, I am able to get myself out from the bad cycle in relying on various medication, and look good too.

I know that day to day I can't have much healthy food. Most of the food available are focusing a lot on basic carbohydrate and protein, such as Ban Mian, Chicken Rice, economic rice, fish soup, carrot cake, etc, healthy food options are not easily available. 

There was a period of time, I keep having salad as my lunch as it's generally healthier. One salad meal near my office at Raffles Place easily costs about $10-$16, with typical vegetable such as Lettuce/Spinach as base, with my other favorite topping such as capsicum, mushroom, chickpeas, sweet potato, edamame, pumpkin, kidney bean, etc. 

I started consuming Oxyginberry when I get to know about Nutritional Immunology 

Oxyginberry contains 6 precious ingredients, Ginseng Berry, Cactus, Cactus Fruits, Grape Seed, Rose, and Seaweed.

Ginseng Berry
Most of us heard about Ginseng Root, yet hardly heard about Ginseng berry. Research shows that Ginseng berry has better Ginsenoside than ginseng root. Overall,

As compare to the normal fruits and vegetables we eat, such as such as Orange has 100 types of phytochemicals, Aloe Vera has 300 types of phytochemicals. Cactus has 10,000 types! Thus, the ability to detox is very well

What are the benefits of Cactus and Cactus Fruits?

With the combination of Antioxidants, Phytochemicals and Polysaccharides, it helps our body to be healthy, to achieve balance Immune System. 


We need a balance Immune System
In the past, we been thinking, our immune system has to be strong. 

Is that true?

NO!

When our Immune System is Weak, we tends to fall sick more regularly, such as flu, fever and frequent coughing. Or worst, Cancer, AIDS. 

How about a strong Immune System?

When our Immune System is too strong, we will develop hypersensitivity of immune system, such as allergy in respiratory tract, food or skin allergies. 

And how about if Immune System is confused?

A confused Immune System easily lead to Auto-immune Disease, such as Eczema, Lupus, Vitiligo, Psoriasis, or inflammatory diseases.

What are your body's Chemical Burden which you need be aware?

All of us carry chemical burden, the buildup of synthetic chemicals and heavy metals in our bodies.

These chemicals get into our bodies through our skin, air, food and drinks. 

You may use many personal care and household products daily, do you know the safety of ingredients?

If you look at the recent articles published, there are many contamination issues even in big brand by MNC.

Let's look at the table below to understand where you can find the toxic chemicals: 

These chemicals can be found in toothpaste, drinking water, shower gels, body lotions, shampoos, toys, whitening products, detergents, etc etc. 

In fact, most pollution begins in the womb.

The Environmental Working Group (EWG) released the results of a two year study that found up to 232 different industrial chemicals in the cord blood of 10 babies in the womb. 

Among the common one are:

It's important to equip ourselves to be wise consumer, to use the products which are safe and yet effective.

Safety Concern of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Source: https://sg.news.yahoo.com/chinese-medicines-may-contain-high-levels-toxins-230754907.html

British health regulators have issued a warning that some traditional Chinese medications contain "dangerously high" levels of lead, mercury, and arsenic.

On Tuesday, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) warned people not to use a number of unlicensed Chinese medicines, including a product called Bak Foong Pills, which are used to treat menstrual pain.

The medicine has been recalled in Hong Kong after it was found to contain up to twice the level of lead permitted by the Hong Kong Government.

Another Chinese medication called Hairegenerator, used for the treatment of hair loss, has also been recalled in Hong Kong after a sample was found to contain 11 times the permitted level of mercury.

The Swedish National Food Agency (SFNA), meanwhile, has found extremely high levels of arsenic in products going by a variety of names, including Niu-Huang Chieh-tu-pein, Divya Kaishore Guggul, and Chandraprabha Vati.

These are used for the treatment of mumps, sore throat, tonsillitis, toothache, skin infections, anorexia, and fever in young children.

"The adulteration of traditional Chinese medicines with heavy metals is a significant international problem and can pose a serious risk to public health," said Richard Woodfield, MHRA's Head of Herbal Policy.

 UK consumers can follow Woodfield's advice: "To help you choose an herbal medicine that is suitable for you, look for a product that has a Traditional Herbal Registration (THR) or product license number on the packaging.

These products have met the acceptable quality and safety standards. – AFP/Relaxnews, August 22, 2013.

As mentioned by Dr Chen during Live of Dr Chen chapters, there are 3 category of plant foods:

1. Poisonous Category (example, Ma Huang)

2. Herbal Categry (Korean Ginseng, TCM)

3. Fruits and Vegetable Category - Given that it's food, it can be consumed on daily basis. 

Commonly, we thought that TCM is better than western medicine, given that it's herbal. However, let's look at one example, Aspirin. Which is used to treat fever, inflammation, joint pain or even heart disease. 

Aspirin could be made from medicational herb call White Willow Bark. In TCM, white whillow bark is also used to help with pain relief, arthritis, reduce inflammation. 

However, why white willow bark from TCM "seems" better? Often, it's due to the concentration whereby in preparing the TCM, it's not as concentrated as western medicine. Thus, the effect is slower and side effect is lesser than western medicine. When we are consuming it, it will burden our kidney as well.

Combating haze again

Haze is coming to Singapore again, the PSI hits above 300, the hazardous level. It's the first time hitting this level since July 2013.

Look at the before and after!!

                

When inhaling these air pollutants, it easily cause irritation of nose, throat, our respiratory system. Thus, we may easily have fever, coughing and sneezing.

For those who has existing medical condition, the condition may be worsen as there might be asthma attack, allergies or even cardiovascular problem. All these pollutants may entering our blood stream and causing inflammation within our body.

I am sure we are more well prepared already, compare to 2013. To add on further, here are some of the good tips.

1. Close all the windows, turn on the aircond or air-purifier if you have.

2. Stay indoor if possible

3. Try not turn to medication if you have sneezing, coughing or irritation, as those are just working as suppressant. In contrary, you should be nourishing your immune system, so that you are able to cleanse out the dirt, mucus, phlegm effectively.

In order to nourish your immune system, take more than 15 serving of fruits and vegetables as we are living in a complex and stressful environment. As a convenient, here is what I do, as a convenient.

I will take 

1. Oxyginberry

http://immunesuperfood.blogspot.sg/2014/05/oxyginberry-is-immune-strengthen-food.html

2. Triflora

Triflora contains the five leaf ginseng, which also known as sweet tea vine, which are very effective in detox the heavy metals, preservatives, air pollants and toxin chemicals from our body.

3. Orchestra

Which contains the Ashitaba and Kumazasa. Kumazasa has the powerhouse in cleansing and detoxification, especially for our blood and liver. Thus able to cleanse out the air pollutant easily.

Ashitaba, which containing chalcones, flavonoids, coumarins, chlorophyll, thus able to fight against the free radical damage caused by the air pollutants.

Hope all is well and the haze is going away soon!
