A Tale of Coffee Enemas, Wheatgrass and Probiotic Implants – Cancer Treatment

Published by Beatrice

“What? Why do we need to put coffee up her a**?” That was my first response the first time I learnt about coffee enemas and that I needed to do it for my mum, so I COMPLETELY understand your response if you are thinking the same thing. But hey, if it is going to help her recover from cancer and I won’t lose her in 6 months, I am trying it! History of Coffee Enemas An enema is “a fluid injected into the rectum for the purpose of clearing out the bowel, or of administering drugs or food.” Enema comes from the Greek en-hienai, meaning to “send or inject into.” The earliest medical text in existence, the Egyptian Ebers Papyrus, (1,500 B.C.) mentions it; the Pharaoh had a “guardian of the anus,” a special doctor one of whose purposes was to administer the royal enema. [1] During the 17th Century, it was common practice in Western society to enjoy as many as three or four enemas a day. It is recorded that King Louis XIII had more than …

Breathing and Pilates Class – Cancer Treatment

Published by Beatrice

I have been practicing Pilates and Breathing exercises for a while in Singapore, but I was a little surprised initially to see that the clinic also incorporated these lifestyle elements into my mum’s treatment plans. The health benefits of exercise is irrefutable for all of us really. “We confirm that there is irrefutable evidence of the effectiveness of regular physical activity in the primary and secondary prevention of several chronic diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, obesity, depression and osteoporosis) and premature death…There appears to be a linear relation between physical activity and health status, such that a further increase in physical activity and fitness will lead to additional improvements in health status.” – -CMAJ, 2006 issue Exercise also helps to get more oxygen into my mum’s system so I definitely encourage all cancer patients to do some light exercises! My mum will probably enroll in Pilates and Taiji class when home to stay fit and healthy.

Insulin Potentiated Low Dose Chemo Therapy (IPT, IPLDT) – Cancer Treatment

Published by Beatrice

Insulin Potentiated Low Dose Chemotherapy, also know as Insulin Potentiated Therapy (IPT), is not only one of the progressive ways to treat cancer, but perhaps one of the most unknown as well. Though I am no medical student, when IPT was first explained to me, it sounded extremely logical, and struck me as a much more effective and targeted way of killing cancer cells. My mum only felt slightly nauseous during her first IPT session though she didn’t throw up. But after they adjusted the anti-nausea IV dosage, she didn’t feel any nausea at all or any other side effects throughout her 8 IPT sessions in 5 weeks. And amazingly, her cancer markers dropped steadily every week! All the medical information I will quote below are from Dr Lodi and Sensagent, both of whom gave me a very thorough scientific understanding of IPT. Why Insulin? All cells, including cancer cells, need glucose in order to produce the energy necessary for survival. Cancer cells have developed a very effective strategy (glycolysis or fermentation), to ensure they …

Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT) – Cancer Treatment

Published by Beatrice

Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Otto Warburg, discovered that: “the root cause of cancer is too much acidity in the body, meaning that the pH, potential hydrogen, in the body is below the normal level of 7.365, which constitutes an “acidic” state. Warburg investigated the metabolism of tumours and the respiration of cells and discovered that cancer cells maintain and thrive in a lower pH, as low as 6.0, due to lactic acid production and elevated CO2. He firmly believed that there was a direct relationship between pH and oxygen. Higher pH, which is Alkaline, means higher concentration of oxygen molecules, while lower pH, which is acidic, means lower concentrations of oxygen…the same oxygen that is needed to maintain healthy cells.” – ganodermareview.com And since exercise is good for everyone, especially for cancer patients, to stimulate their lymphatic system, the clinic combined Exercise with Oxygen Therapy (EWOT). This is the treatment that allowed for the most dramatic physically observable improvement for my mum. When she started EWOT, the health educator, Mr Jack Cross, started with only 8 units …

Ozone Therapy – Cancer Treatment

Published by Beatrice

Ozone therapy, also know as O3 therapy, has been used to disinfect and treat diseases for over 150 years. Ozone contains three oxygen molecules, while the oxygen commonly breathed contains two. Ozone therefore, is considered an energized kind of oxygen. Since cancer breeds in de-oxygenated body environment, ozone therapy helps to increase oxygen circulation and the body’s ability to process and use oxygen in tissues and organs. “Ozone is also believed to increase artery wall dilation and relaxation, reducing effect of clogged or blocked arteries. It is also believed to help stabilize the immune system, especially for people suffering from autoimmune or allergic conditions.” – http://www.placidway.com You can find more on the scientific benefits here on the Journal of Natural Science, Biology and Medicine. Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Otto Warburg, discovered that: “the root cause of cancer is too much acidity in the body, meaning that the pH, potential hydrogen, in the body is below the normal level of 7.365, which constitutes an “acidic” state.

B17 Laetrile – Cancer Treatment

Published by Beatrice

B17, also known as Laetrile or Amygdalin, is naturally found in apricot kennels and almond seeds. It is also a highly controversial cancer treatment, with some claiming B17 to cause cyanide poisoning, resulting it being banned in the US. The way I overcame the fear that my mum would be poisoned by cyanide was to understand how B17 would work against cancer cells. When a Laetrile or B17 molecule meets a cancer cell, it is broken down into 2 molecules of glucose, 1 molecule of hydrogen cyanide and 1 molecule of benzaldehyde. This reaction occurs much more readily with cancer cells rather than non-cancer cells because: B17 molecule can only be broken down by glucosidase, which is 3000 times more abundant in cancer cells than normal cells. B17 has 2 glucose molecules, and cancer cells have 10-19x more insulin receptors, making B17 molecules attractive to cancer cells. FYI – a PET scan works on the same principle – Radioactive glucose is first injected, and is taken up first by cancer cells, which cause any area …

Vitamin C (Intravenous) – Cancer Treatments

Published by Beatrice

Similar to what you are probably thinking now, I was highly skeptical that high dose intravenous (IV) Vitamin C could reverse cancer. We eat food with vitamin C everyday in our diets and supplements. If Vitamin C were so good, it would have prevented cancer from developing in the first place, right? And hospitals around the world should be using this method by now! But I decided to keep an open mind to research in scientific and medical papers on how Vitamin C works, and I am glad I did because I discovered from the National Cancer Institute that: “Vitamin C has been studied as a treatment for patients with cancer since the 1970s. A Scottish surgeon named Ewan Cameron worked with Nobel Prize-winning chemist Linus Pauling to study the possible benefits of vitamin C therapy in clinical trials of cancer patients in the late 1970s and early 1980’s.” “Laboratory studies have shown the following: Treatment with high-dose vitamin C slowed the growth and spread of prostate, pancreatic, liver, colon, malignant mesothelioma, and other types of cancer cells. Combining …

The integrated oncology centre where my mum is recovering from her Stage 4 Colon Cancer has a Lifestyle Program called School of Life – a comprehensive program to help educate my mum to keep cancer at changing her lifestyle and to maintain when we return home . This lifestyle program encompasses: Education classes – to teach us about disease, the human body, our digestive system, eating for nutrition, how to achieve optimal health and the common carcinogens we are exposed to in everyday living Food Preparation classes – to equip us with the skills and recipes to keep us enjoying Raw, Living food when we venture back into the real world Yoga, Breathing and Meditation classes – to train the mind and spirit to be calm and to focus on the present Exercise with Oxygen Therapy – to get more oxygen in the system as cancer do not thrive well in oxygenated environments. And we have been very blessed to have Mr Jack Cross leading the lifestyle program, supporting my mum’s recovery journey. Jack was trained …

3 Reasons why this Food Blogger turned Raw

Published by Beatrice

I know you are already thinking “RABBIT FOOD” alert, but please stay with me! After sharing Top 3 Reasons I turned Vegan, I have decided to also share why I turned Raw. My first encounter with Raw Food is at Living Cafe and Deli in Singapore when I did a feature on it, but I quickly dismissed it and returned to my cooked food diet because I didn’t really understand the health benefits of eating Raw. So before we even start, what is the definition of Raw Food? Raw, or uncooked, food is food that has not been heated above 47ºC. So what is the big deal about this Raw food? 1) Raw Food is full of energy, enzymes and nutrients that we destroy with cooking A picture speaks a thousand words – Food photographed with Kirlian Photography techniques shows the huge decrease in energy in the food when we cook. And when I thought hard, it made sense that we don’t put our flesh near fires, we don’t put our money near fires… we don’t put anything important …

3 Reasons why this Food Blogger turned Vegan

Published by Beatrice

So, the super ironic thing is years ago, I dated someone who was a vegetarian. I remember an epic fight we had over an ant that died in his Memojazz pager. Clearly, it was such a dramatic quarrel over an animal life that I remember it after soooo many years. And yet, after so many years, I found myself thrown on this path, on an even more “extreme” decision to not just be vegetarian, but to be vegan and 80% raw. Clearly, as a food blogger, I loved my meats – Hida beef in Takayama (still *swoon* when I think about that), Sashimi, Hainanese chicken rice…… but I have turned to veganism because of what I learnt about the impact our diets can have on our health, especially learning what my mum ate attributed to her getting Stage 4 Colon Cancer (btw, after 8 weeks on alternative treatments and 100% raw vegan diet without conventional chemo/radiation, her CEA cancer markers have dropped from 16.5 to 4.2! Thank God!). So as a new vegan convert, I …
