Today, I mourned for someone I've met, the son of my colleague, who passed away from cancer. It is a sad day, this little boy ended his suffering from this disease, after fighting his life with cancer, going through multiple rounds of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, etc. Yesterday, was this little boy's last day of his life. The suffering ends, leaving all his loved ones behind, and I believe he is less then 4 years old.
I remembered back in December 2010, I visited this boy, I donated blood for him, I felt his pain, his eye bags were dark, finger nails were severely brittle and black, lost almost all of his hair, an awful painful experience for a small boy who had to suffer this treatment. Was it all worth it? The question is, does the conventional cancer treatment proven effective for cancer patients? The answer is far from yes, and what's really disturbing is most people doesn't know that chemotherapy treatment, only responds to three type of cancers. The word responds in medical term, does not mean that it will cure the cancer condition, but it will respond to that specific chemo drugs during that 'specific' time frame during the treatment. So, let's say if the respond period is 8 weeks, and if the chemo treatment does respond and partially improve the condition within that 8 weeks period, it is considered as 'respond' and even if you die after few months or half year later, it is considered that your chemo drugs did 'respond' to the treatment.
I've met so far, 5 people, in my life, who ignored the advise I gave to them, they were cancer patients. They all died from conventional cancer treatment, all 5 of them. The question is why this happened? Simple, everyone is programmed to trust only conventional doctors to heal and cure them, but not knowing what did these doctors studied during the doctorate degree. Are you willing to put faith on a doctor, yr life, your health,as a life threatening disease is in the process of killing you? How sure are you that this doctor is not lack of knowledge and knows what he is doing?
Like I told some of my friends before, an obese person is not marathon deficient, nor a depressed person is anti-depressant drug deficient. People ask me if running marathon will make them lose weight? What a question. The question i ask them back, do you think you gain weight because you didn't run marathon? Or you became depressed because you didn't take anti depressant drugs? Sometimes we have to use our brains and think! But what's even better, after I told them the facts about certain health related topic, they either refuse to listen, or too stubborn headed to make changes in their diet or lifestyle. Well, the thing is, majority of people is not ready to make changes in their life, because they get to comfortable with it, until when the day comes, knowing they are going to die or dying from a disease killing them, then they realized it's too late. This is human beings typical mindset, the modern homo sapiens of the industrialized world.
Tons of people asked me, can I eat ice-cream or cakes weekly if I want to lose weight? Or can I eat regular fast foods and maintain a healthy BMI at the same time? You seriously don't need a degree in medicine or becomes a nutritionist to know these stuff! It's like you have your quarterly one on one review with your manager, to determine how you perform and what needs to be improved for your work. You asked your manager, "How did I perform during my last few months?" The manager says "You did okay in few areas, but there are a lot of other improvement needed in few other areas, and this is how you can improve on your job". Well, this applies the same scenario with your health. You want to know the current status of your health, and you want to know how could you improve on your health condition, diet, fitness level, etc. Now, you could have an open mind, and take it positively, have the readiness to change and improve, or you could be offended and get mad, and not willing to change your lifestyle. It is all down to your mindset and attitude. How much you want to be healthy? How much do you want to redesign or transform into a healthier toned leaner body? Do you want to feel good all the time? Do you want to be energetic, strong and confidence? To be honest, most people do not like to be told what to eat, what to do, how to exercise, how to sleep, etc. This is just the way most people how they live their lives. Like what I always tell my friends, "Ignorance can kill you".
It is your life, your health, your body, your decision. No one can force you what you should do, it all depends on how much you respect your body, how much you want to continue living a quality life. We have only one chance to live our lives, why not take advantage of it and outlive your friends and relatives? You are what you eat. You can't exercise your way out of a poor diet.
To my colleague's son, rest in peace. May god be with you.
