"Do not let them (God's Words) depart from your sight; Keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their body" (Proverbs 4:21-22)
A close friend forwarded to me a video about how a Taiwanese brain surgeon overcame his colon cancer some years back. He went for the chemo treatment as usual but refused to have the operation to remove the tumour. The subsequent scan showed that the tumour was gone, and he has been well since then.
Although there is no such thing as one formula fits all, I think some of his ideas are very helpful in the recovery journey for any cancer patient:
(1) Overcome fear- This helps one to stay positive and be pro-active in pursuing recovery. This is the most difficult thing to conquer. It is tough not to have negative thoughts when we are in troubles. Most cancer patients faced this the first two years upon diagnosis.
(2)Cultivate peaceful mind -Get rid of temperament that impedes recovery such as unforgiving spirit, bad temper.
(3)Plenty of rest, learn to relax, enjoy food, live comfortably. Enough sleep is important.
(4) Build up strong immune system by eating well, have balanced diet. Don’t have to go for any special diet.
(5)Exercise- go for those that promote relaxation such as qigong. Avoid sudden strenuous exercise.
(6)Food- eat more veggie, less meat. Go for fresh food rather than everything organic. Avoid canned food, oily/fried/BBQ food and milk.
(7)Healthy bowel movement everyday- prevents toxins from forming in our body.
