turmeric curcumin extract

A clinical trial was made for cancer patients of different types and took scheduled doses of curcumin extract (found in turmeric or "luyang dilaw") in a span of time without any other form of therapy (chemo or radiation) and the result was a tremendous decrease in tumor marker numbers. the results was backed up by medical practitioners of MD Anderson.

thus, i have no doubts in my mind that this will help my mom to boost her immunity against cancer to prevent recurrence of her bc.

our first trial was a curcumin extract from Raffles brand, but after a week i realized that Raffles brand don't give the right dosage of curcumin extract, being at 450mg curcumin +50mg of curcumin extract. it was only 50mg!! what mom needs as per MD Anderson curcumin protocol is 1000mg daily for 1 week.

thus, today i bought her a new bottle from GNC, which contains 500mg of curcumin extract. it was way expensive!! $76 after discount for 100 capsules. mom have to take 2 caps per day.

honestly, i felt great after my purchase, relieved that health is undeniably more important than money. gladly, mom would be able to finally take the right dosage. she will start today!

below are my favorite blogs regarding curcumin protocol.

organics of the day

after a tiring day, i was please to see my purchases. there's simply nothing can replace organic foods.

since mom's diagnosis of bc, investing on what my family eats become instantly very important to me.

"Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you, and none will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will give you a full life span."

. (Exodus 23:25, 26 NIV)

your favorite skin care and breast cancer

The moment we switched to organic skin care and toiletries, as advised by a friend, it was one of the smartest cancer prevention that I could do. I then started to think what are those ingredients that are toxic? I had a strong urge to know as I am a huge fan of skin care, trying almost all claimed to be effective product lines in the market, that presents to be outstanding in anti-aging, whitening, smoothing, and smelling sweet.

there it was, my eyes has been opened by the toxicity of "parabens". the main ingredients of almost all of my favorite skin care and toiletry brands...

Below, I took a screenshot of one of my favorite skin lotion and whoa! it contains 2 types of toxic parabens. *scary! it's not even half empty yet but i have to throw it away.

I had no choice but to ditch them all, including what my mom has been using... she freaked out when i started tossing away her favorite lotions, shampoo, skin bath, make-up, hair color, and lipsticks. Even for my children, I started to buy organic baby bath and shampoos. I started to purchased soap products http://www.drbronner.com/ from http://www.natures-glory.com, and other skin care and toiletries from https://humanheartnature.com and Watson's pharmacy for http://www.avalonorganics.com.

It is costly, but for the name of wellness and good health, I would work hard and pray for God to shower as blessings and provisions so we could afford organic stuff.

42 days detox - day 6 (gave up)

today my mom has decided to temporary end up her 42-days Breuss juice detox. This is a decision that I was not in favor of, but I have to respect her. She did a good job for the past 5 days, following my instructions of consuming only the prepared juice with the complementary teas...

I guess my mom is excited with the birthday celebration of my brother, where he prepares some dinner to share together..

below is the last stats i took just before she anxiously took her 1st bite of the week..

weight = 125 lbs
mood = good, restless (due to lack of sleep last night)
poop = yes
breuss juice = 200ml taken via small cup(1/4 full every sip) - she managed to sipped few in the morning until noon, just before she ate lunch.
teas = 1 cup turmeric tea

hunger = controlled
medication = 1 pill tamoxifen
blood pressure = 120/60 okcoffee enema = 2 x 500ml

1st endocrinologist doctor visit

this day is one of the big day for me and mom - to meet up dr. lee of integrated medicine.

dr lee (http://www.integratedmedclinic.com/ian.html) was recommeded to me by a fellow whom her mother have almost the similar health issue as mom. after praying to God for the right doctor that would be an instrument to bring forth the right treatment and wellness for mom, here we are now.

the morning before we left home, i prayed wholeheartedly that Lord Jesus Christ will use this doctor to bring eace in my heart that mom is going thru the right method of healing.

fast forward:
the first consultation was not at all disoriented, it was even a delight knowing that doctor has shown compassion and care for mom. dr. lee was able to understand mom's condition. he also tried to understand the root cause of her bc. we talked about mom's past and current surgeries, lifestyle and medications.

dr. lee mentioned that bc root cause is a multi- factorial and not only because of one thing. he said it could be the genes, the age, the hormonal change, the silicon implants, the lifestyle or combination of all. indeed, i agree.

he asked mom to undergo preliminary blood test to check her sugar (as sugar is the food of the cancer), her thyroid (abnormalities in thyroids also strenghtens the cancer reccurence), her blood content ( to check if she lacks certain vitamins i.e. vitamin D), her hormone (to know the positivity of her estrogen and progesterone levels) and tumour markers.

it is essential first steps so dr lee would know how to keep her healthy and well and strengten mom immunity against disease and c.

the first bill. - it was shocking. but this includes all the testing necessary for her.
total bills today: $1, 163

To do list - Aug to Sep

i am very much satisfied of what mom and I have accomplished so far. Below is a screenshot of the Excel spreadsheets that I am maintaining to keep track of our to do list.

This coming Saturday morning, we will be heading to Dr. Lee's clinic for the first time. Watch out for my next blog update.

42 days detox - day 5

mom was feeling great this morning. inspite the intake limitation, she was able to prepare and steam leche plan dessert for Oliver's (my brother) birthday dinner tomorrow.

42 days detox - day 4

yesterday after office hours i went to NTUC finest and found my missing ingredients ... the celery root.

Turmeric Tea

finally, i was able to make a turmeric tea for mom... thanks to http://www.thespeach.com/2012/03/healing-ginger-turmeric-sleep-tea/ for the recipe...

i was surprised that it actually tastes good! as if I was sipping an after spa
massage refreshments. and more importantly mom likes it. this is what she needs after day 3 of detox, after almost giving up . but glad she would continue to day 4.

by the way, for my mom i skip the honey. Cancer feeds in anything sweet/ sugar.

Lord, i pray that you give strength and nutrition to my mom despite the detox days that you may filled up her hunger with your words. and that she may know you more. Amen.

42 days Detox

Preparing for Breuss Juice..
I've been spending couple of hours browsing the internet about the Breuss Detox diet for 42 days... and here's the recipe that I've found.

Breuss Juice

This is the Breuss juice mixture. To prepare the juice, 3/5 beets, 1/5 carrots, 1/5 celeriacs, and then add a little black radish and one egg-sized potato. ALL ORGANIC!

·         300 g (9.6 oz) beet root

·         100 g (3.2 oz) carrots

·         100 g (3.2 oz) celeriacs (celery root)

·         30 g (1.06 oz) black radish juice

Teas - 

It was said that teas will help supplement the detox diet.

·         Sage Tea (1 cup)

·         Kidney Tea (1 cup)

·         Cranebill Tea (1 cup)

JInitially I am worried were to find the teas, then I found http://www.nutrimaxorganic.com/ where they supply this teas. I will definitely come down to their store later to grab one box of each.

Thank you Lord for the resources and available supply!

Hurom Juicer

I finally got the Hurom Juicer...
after researching, comparing, and contemplating about the best Juicer that will keep the freshness and enzymes intact , with consideration of the price.. the Hurom juicer got my highest score.

This juicer is not an ordinary juicer, plusn it is expensive! but for the sake of health and cancer prevention I had the strong urge to buy this Juicer. So I ditched my old juicer (which uses high-speed centrifugal blade) and replaced it with the Hurom.

Below are some of the video reviews I've watched...

Got the Hurom HU-300 model from http://www.harveynorman.com.sg/ at a discounted price!

$548 (retails at $598) for 24 months installment at 0% interest! + free apple slicer :)
So I will only end up paying $22 per month.
