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


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.

The Magic of Mushrooms

Mushroom, has been a powerful Superfood which is most discussed over decades. 

Especially mushroom such as ABM Mushroom, Maitake Mushroom, Reishi Mushroom (Lingzhi) and Shiitake Mushroom

This can be found in the Nutriact / E-mmunity

These mushrooms has the great source of polysaccharides, which helps to increase the production of Natural Killer cells, interferon, interleukin) to destroy existing cancer cells. 

It increases the activities of Natural Killer cells by 38 to 49 folds. 







Let's look at how each mushrooms help in cancer and virus infection

1. ABM Mushroom:


At the Medical Department of Tokyo University, the National Cancer Center Laboratory and Tokyo College of Pharmacy, mice with cancerous tumors were fed ABM mushrooms. The cancerous tumors were eliminated in 90% of the mice.

Even more astounding, when the mice were fed ABM as a preventive agent and then afterwards injected with the powerful cancer-causing cell line, Sarcoma 180, 99.4% of them showed no tumor growth.

Research performed at universities in Japan, HK and a few in US have suggested that the polysaccharides derived from ABM have a positive effect in stimulating lymphocyte T-Cell and helper T-Cell production in laboratory animals.

in 1995, Dr. Mamdooh Ghoneum, Ph. D. at King Drew Medical Center at UCLA, found that the ABM mushroom increases the total number of immune cells throughout the body. 

Furthermore, he discovered that this mushroom not only increases the no of Natural Killer (NK) cells, but also makes each individual NK cell more powerful. Dr Ghoneum presented his findings during San Francisco's 9th World Immunology Congress saying, "In the present study, we evaluated the ability of the ABM Mushroom to stimulate in vivo NK cell activity in mice. T

he results demonstrated that the induction of NK activity was very significant (38-49 fold increase over control)."

The health benefits of the ABM mushroom, from boosting the immune system to preventing the growth and metastasis of all kinds of cancers. is no longer just accessible to the natives in Sao Paulo, Brazil, but is now available to everyone.



2. Maitake Mushroom:

In one experiment, scientists conducted studies to find out whether the D-Fraction of the Maitake mushroom could prevent normal cells from turning into malignant cancer cells. A carcinogen was given to the experimental animals in food 3 times over a 7-day interval. The control Group A was given normal feed. Group B was given feed enriched with 20% Maitake mushroom powder, and Group C was orally administered 1mg/kg of the D-Fraction polysaccharide. After 60 days. the tumors found in the liver were counted. 

Liver cancer was found in the experiemental animals follows:
-In the D-Fraction Group C, only 9.7% had tumors.
-In the 20% Maitake mushroom feed Group B, 22.2% had tumors
-In the control Goup A, 100% had tumours.

This test suggests that Maitake mushrooms, especially those containing purified D-fraction, are effective in reducing cancer risks where carcinogenic foods are part of the regular diet.

Though extensive experimental studies, researchers have found out that the beneficial activities of Maitake mushroom to include protecting healthy cells from becoming canceroushelping to prevent metastasis of cancerinhibiting the growth of tumors and lessening the side effects of chemotherapy agents

Maitake mushroom has been shown to be most effective in inhbiting cancer of the breast, lung, liver and prostate. Usually, the effectiveneses ranged from 45.5% to 73.3% reduction in cancer growth. It is somewhat effective in cases of leukemia, stomach cancer and bone cancer at 25%, 33% and 16% respectively.

Other researchers in the US have been using Maitake mushroom to treat a number of condition. In one study, researchers used ultrasound results to measure the progress of 6 patients with uterine fibroids. 

Maitake mushrooms were given to these patients and a substantial reduction of the fibroids was found 6 months to 1 year after the beginning of the treatment. In fact, the patients' conditions improved to such a state that surgery was no longer necessary. Promising results of the use of Maitake mushroom on prostate cancer were also found.

3. Shitake Mushroom

Scientific studies conducted mainly in Japanese laboratories, have focused on 2 substances extracted from shitake mushroom - Lentinan and LEM.

In the 1980's, the Pharmaceutical Council of Japan approved Lentinan, a polysaccharide found in the fruiting body of Shitake mushroom, as an anti-cancer drug - something basically unheard of in Western medicine. Lentinan has many immunopotentiating properties including enhancement of natural killer (NK) cells and increased production of gamma interferon.

The Lancer medical journal reported a case in which doctors used Lentinan as treatment for AIDS patient who had been exposed to the disease through a blood transfusion and repeatedly tested positive for AIDS antibodies. The patient was given daily dosage of Lentinan (1 mg/day) for a period of 5 months. 

After 4 months, the AIDS antibodies tested negative and remained so. 2 years later, the patient continues to be healthy.

Today, Japanese doctors are using purifed Lentinan as an immunotherapy for cancers such as lung, skin, stomach, breast, colorectal, cervical and others. The use of Lentinan can help to suppress cancer recurrence and prolong the lifespan of cancer patients. 

In addition, study after study has proven that Lentinan combined with chemotherapy is more effective than chemotherapy aloneHowever, the dosage adminstered is an important part of the healing process

Too small a quantity is ineffective, whereas too much Lentinan can suppress the immune response, giving the opposite of the intended effect. A balanced dosage is necesary to achieve optimum results. In one particular study, the correct dosage of Lentinan produced complete regression of certain cancers of mice.  


4. Ganoderma Lucidum mushroom (Ling Zhi/ Reishi mushroom):

Recently, Ganoderma mushroom has been used to prevent and treat cancer. Regarding cancer treatment, Ganoderma mushroom is being used to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy (fatigue, appetite loss, hair loss, bone marrow suppression and risk of infection), enhance survival rate, reduce likelihood of metastasis, improve quality of life and help prevent the recurrence of cancer.

As convenience, we have Nutriact power which is made from these 4 mushrooms

Cactus and Cactus fruits in Millenium

Cactus has been the king of plant for many years!

It's one of the Superfood

Let's look at what's so powerful about Cactus?

"Cactus grows in deserts, growing in such a harsh environment requires strong survival skills. 

It's thick waxy stem stores precious water and nutrients. The older the cactus, the more nutrients it has. It takes many decades to grow. Unlike Aloe Vera, which takes only eight months to ripen, the precious cactus fruit is extremely rare and difficult to cultivate. 

Cactus has evolved over thousands of years in its struggle to capture life giving water and survive in the desert. Its prickly exterior protects an amazing store of nutrients waiting to be discovered. Scientists are working hard to unmask this natural wonder with unsurpassable capability"

Let's look at the benefits future



With more than 10,000 types of phytochemicals, it makes the powerful Superfood to work wonder in nourishing our immune system. 

To provide a convenience to public, Millenium, has high concentration of Cactus and Cactus fruits. 

We can prepare Millenium ourself, by buying cactus from supermarket, removing the thorns and skin, and then eat the flesh fresh. 

I have tried, but it takes me too much times for preparation. And for 1 packet of Millenium, at least 2-3 pieces of Cactus needed, which is equivalent to about $10. I choose to go for Millenium given the safety, saving my time, and more value for money compared to self prepare. 


It comes in liquid and power form. 




How I prepare my Millenium beverage 




If you any questions on the beverage, feel free to whatsapp or pm me. 

Cheers!

Why rebound after losing weight?

Rebound happens when there is toxins accumulated in our body

No Round
 happens when toxins is removed from our body already

That's the reason why Cleansing is so important day to day. 


















Where does toxins come from various part of our organs
1. Lung
2. Skin
3. Gut/Intestine

External Toxins include

Free radicals such as pollution from food center, buses or car
Medicine
Smokes
Harmful chemicals from our household products
Pesticides from fruits and vegetables that we eat
Preservatives, Additives, Coloring in our processed food
Radiation from our handphones, computers
Bacteria/viruses that we encounter daily
Many others  

Internal Toxins includes

Cancer Cells
Fats/Cholesterol deposit
Death/damaged cells during metabolism
Constipation which leads to the toxin accumulation at intestine
Urine Acid affecting joints
Acidic condition in our body

With all these toxins in our body, the more we need to regularly do cleansing to keep ourself healthy.

When we do regular cleansing, the fats won't be stored in body to keep the impurities and toxins, thus weight loss becoming very easy, and we won't keep facing rebound issues. 

There are many weight loss methods which focusing on just losing water, or increasing the metabolism. Instead of cleansing the impurities.

Take Care of your body, it's the only place that you will live.

How I incorporate 28 types of vegetables in my diet


Dear friends, 

Do you incorporate more than 5 serving of vegetables and fruits in your diet?

Most of our diet are such as 2 servings of vegetables for lunch (if possible), 2 servings of vegetables for dinner (If there is), and 1-2 fruits. Thus, it causes various health issues, and diseases are getting younger.

Taking variety of fruits and vegetables are the key to good health

I always eat ourside, perhaps only cook once or twice during weekend. 

Vegecolor becoming very convenience for me, with the variety of fruits and vegetables

These are some of my ways of eating Vegecolor

Vegecolor with Glutinious rice



My Vegecolor Salad
