Don’t Let Doctors and Modern Medicine Screw You Anymore! 10 Better Theories For You For Better Health
May 9th, 2009 by AhYap
I am trying to write a “free-flow” speech-liked post and will edit it later. That means I am writing what comes up in my mind the moment I am writing (or more correctly, speaking).
There will be a lot of spelling and grammar mistakes. Please bear with me. In communication, it is not the correct spelling and grammar that matter, it is how well I can deliver the message to you that matter. I really don’t care how many missing ’s’ and how many missing ‘ed’ in my writing. [Malaysian should be proud of our ability to speak and write multiple languages]
This is a very very very long post but it will be very very eye opening and interesting post. Since I only write once in a while, you can read a few paragraphs a day (who knows maybe you need to wait for the next PM changed before I will write another post).
This is a follow up to my cancer post and all the comments there. Please read that post first if you are new here.
Why Observations and Conclusions from the so called scientific approach can be way wrong?
Modern medicine beats any medicine and healing approaches in the world because of their so called scientific approach. Everything looks so systematic and effective. Smart people go to University to take medicine courses and become doctors because of the systematic education approach. Experiments are done in statistical approach to get the ‘correct’ observations and conclusions. It swipe the entire globe in less than a century and every corner of the earth is now believing strongly on them.
They are REALLY doing a fantastic job on handling trauma cases, i.e. snake bites, lion bites, fell off the cliff, shot my missile, crashed by a train, beaten up by Jet Li, bullet in the brain, nuclear bomb aftermath, etc. They do a superb work in the emergency ward. No other healing methods can even come close to them.
Unfortunately, they failed miserably outside the emergency room. You just can’t use the emergency “cut it open with a knife” mindset on treating everything!
For heavy weight diseases like cancer, heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes, stones to the lower weight fever, flu, sore throat, nose sensitive, pimples, dandruff and to the NEVERLAND allergies, hair lose, myopia, far-sightedness, etc. They just failed. Not only they failed, they failed after dumping billions of dollar into it.
They claimed to be scientific, but most of the time they like to tell their cancer patient, “Cancer cells are spontaneous and random!”. Spontaneous and random never come close to scientific. They tell the high blood pressure patients, “People usually get this when they get old!”
Most scary thing they would say to their patients are, “You have X more days to live!” They also like to blame genetics and hormones when they are confused.
Ask yourself, do you like these kind of answers? Do you like doctors telling you you are sick because you are old, your inherit some genes problems or that your hormone has some problem that we can’t do anything to?
Why do you get flu? Why do you get sore throat? According to modern medicine, that is because our bodies are invaded by germs – bacterias and viruses! I suppose that is what you believe in if you haven’t encounter anyone like me who tell you loudly and confidently, “No! It is not!”.
How is the scientific experiment done? The researchers take a lot of blood samples from both the sick people and the normal people. This is call the statistically approach. According to them, the bigger the sample, the more accurate the observations and conclusions.
After analyzing all the bloods, they notice that in the blood of the sicked, they found those tiny little things under the microscope that is NOT in the blood of the normal people, which they call the germs – the bacteria and the viruses.
The sample is big. So they claim the observation to be correct. So they make the conclusion that these germs/aliens in our bodies causes the disease! So as long as we can kill them, we get heal!
So what’s the problem here? Isn’t that it sounds scientific and logical? Isn’t that it looks very intelligent?
Because they make the conclusion that germs are our ENEMY, the way to handle it is to use WAR. They use the “war to stop the war”approach on healing. It looks like they are right, because your flu, your fever and your sore throat do get better after taking all those antibiotics and drugs that they invented to kill those germs.
But…
Fact #1
Even if you don’t take any antibiotics and drugs, your flu, your sore throat and your fever will also get well later. It might be slower and you might not feel comfortable, but can you see that you can heal without any of these medicine? You can heal without doing anything?
Come one step further, it is not those antibiotics and drugs that really heal us but it is our own body that heal us! It is our own healing mechanism in action. The antibiotics merely help in reducing the cause factors and the drugs might only serve the purpose of making you feel better (less pain).
Fact #2
Science and logical thinking is not as simple as this -
1. If the sky is cloudy, it will rain.
2. Today the sky is cloudy.
3. Today it will rain.
WHY? Because there are just too many factors that you will missed that make observations and conclusions totally useless. The modern medicine says
1. Germs cause diseases.
2. He has germs in his body.
3. That’s why he is sicked.
It looks OK and logical and very intelligent. Let looks at how many factors you can miss because of that.
1. My car is red.
2. There is a red car.
3. That must be my car!
So all red Ferrari in the world is mine! I would prefer the world to work that way, but we just got to look at the car plate number, the car model, and lot of other factors.
Fact #3
We always heard of food poisoning. It usually happen to an entire family and maybe an entire school. All of them take the SAME poisoned food, but can you explain why the responds from them can be way different?
Let’s say a class of 30 students eat the same poisoned food, 5 might die, 10 need to be hospitalized, 10 have only mild syndromes while 5 don’t even feel a thing!
WHY? Isn’t all of them take the same poisoned food? The same cause? Because ‘poisoned food’ is not just the only factor! It is only one of the important factors, another important factor is the body which takes the poisoned food.
Take another example, when flu strike, most school children will be infected because the germs is everywhere. But still there are always a few students that is not infected at all! Germs is part of the reason, not the only reason.
So what went wrong with the Germs Theory?
They went wrong in the focus! They found germs in the sick people. So they think that if they can kill those germs, then can win the battle. This is called the war approach. Or the anger against anger approach.
The objective of curing is healing! Not killing!
If you observe that bacteria is in the body of the sick patient, lots of conclusions can be made and lots of approaches can be taken. Not simply ‘get the germs out there’.
The modern medicine like to assume that the sick person is innocent. If we are sicked, it is because something else make us so – the germs (and hormones, genes, age, cancer cells, etc). We are not responsible for that, we have nothing to do with that. We are suppose to be healthy and normal no matter what we have done to our self. We become sicked when those notorious germs come and attack us like the aliens invade the earth. And it must be played as a war game. We need to kill those bastards that come to invade our neighborhoods.
The blaming and “I am not responsible” mindset is the problem.
Well, if you take a large sample, says 10 million people and you notice that the 9 million sick people have germs in their body but the 1 million normal people don’t have, you can also make a conclusion that the 1 million people is actually doing something different and that’s why they don’t have germs in their body! 1 in 10 people is meaningless, but 1 in 10 million is very significant.
What modern medicine shall be doing is to observe and research on this 1 million people and see WHY given the same situation, given the same bacteria, given the same food, they are not infected! And then teach those 9 million sick people to do what the 1 million is doing (or not doing).
Why some nurse who come close to SARS patient got infected while some don’t? Why the 2 roommates who share the very same room and got bitten by lots of mosquitoes, 1 got dengue and the other got nothing?
Example – The discovery of High Growth Hormones (HGH) and the conclusions they made.
Scientists and experts do a lot of research on HGH and notice that when people get old, their brain no longer release this hormone and that’s why they are aging. So they thought they found the way to stop people from growing old! How? By consuming HGH!
It looks fantastic on the surface but this again demonstrates the “blaming” and “I am not responsible” mindset.
They blame the lack of HGH for making them old. So to solve that, they inject HGH into their body.
What should modern medicine be doing instead?
If they observe that people who get old no longer produce HGH, they should look at why there are so many people who are 80 and 90 and are still producing a lot of HGH and see what they are doing differently! Why those 1 million in the 10 million still producing HGH in their body while the 9 million is not? Find the reason and teach that 9 million people to do what the 1 million is doing (or not doing)!
The conclusion that “old people will stop producing HGH” is very misleading because there are many old people that are still producing it. The same goes to the conclusion that “germs causes diseases” because there are many people who just aren’t infected in the same environment by the same bacteria.
To put it one step further. If we are to inject flu germs directly into the body of 2 persons, 1 might get sick while the other might be totally normal. If you then check their blood, it is true that the one that is sicked has loads of germs in his body and the other one has none. Can you make a conclusion from this case and say, “bacteria causes disease”? Do you think that will be correct?
[Tips: Do you know that if you have taken HGH, you are not allowed to donate blood? Do you know that you are not allowed to take HGH if you are pregnant because it can affect your child? Do you know that HGH is a banned drugs for sports? You should ask yourself why such a good thing cannot be taken for the above situations.]
Story – The most famous doctor in my neighborhood
When I was a small kid before I went to school, there came the first doctor to my neighborhood. He is so famous and popular that they named the entire garden under his name! He seems to have the power to heal anyone very quickly. What is his secret? He will give you lots of antibiotics and drugs to eat anytime you go to see him.
With his healing philosophy, do you know what happen to him today? He is still a doctor and is still sitting in his same old clinic 30 years later and he is still very famous and popular. But now he double his size and he has got himself high blood pressure and diabetes. He tells his patient, “It is normal for old people to get this and that. See I also have it. Don’t worry.” His patients like his answer.
AhYap: The most abnormal thing human do is to assume abnormal as normal!
Human psychology is interesting and funny. For human -
- It’s normal when a lot of people is doing the same thing.
- It’s normal when a lot of people is believing in the same thing.
- It’s normal when it is happening to a lot of people.
The term of this psychology phenomenon is called “references”. People are usually confuse most of the time when they live on this earth. They don’t know where they come from. They don’t know where they are going after they die. And they don’t know what are they suppose to do when they are living!
In order not to get confuse, they look at people around them and see what they are thinking and doing and they follow them. Normal becomes a number game where majority wins.
But we can’t treat abnormal as normal just because everyone else is doing that, just because it is happening to everyone else.
Today, 9 out of 10 Chinese kids in Malaysia are wearing spectacles! The parents think it is normal since their classmates are wearing spectacles too. But in our parents generation, it is quite rare for them to wear spectacles! Even Indian and Malay kids are rare to found wearing spectacles.
If modern medicine observes this, they will use the ‘blaming’ mindset again and blame the genes! What genes? Chinese Genes! Because they observe that the Malay and Indian genes are OK.
But if it is genes, why our parents and grand parents are not wearing them?
Now 1 out of 3 people will have cancer. Almost everyone will have either one (or many) of these in their life time – high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart attack, diabetes, stones, etc. Shall we feel comfortable with this just because everyone around you is the same as you? Shall we lie to our self and treat this abnormalities as normal?
What crisis is more severe than the “Financial Crisis?” The “Health Crisis”!
Fast forward 20 years from now, if the modern medicine refuse to have a big changes to their mindset, what will happen today to the world economies – the financial crisis, will happen to the world humanity, as the health crisis.
They have many similarities. They are both caused by the people that we believe as smart, as intelligent. The people that we call experts. In the financial crisis, we trusted the Stamford and Harvard MBAs who work in the big banks and financial institutions who think they can calculate anything. They screw up.
Now the smart people in the health industry – the doctors, the researches, the drugs companies, the hospital, the Universities, etc. are going to create the most severe “health crisis’ in our civilization.
When you are stupid, the most harm you can do might be to steal your father’s gun and kill 17 people in your classroom and then shoot yourself. Even the smart terrorist can only blown up 2 towers in the US killing over 5,000 people with 2 planes.
What can all the smart people in the entire modern medicine industry can do to the world if they continue what they do now?!
Its is more scary than a nuclear warfare. It will be like many nuclear bombs drop all over the world. So many people suffering and dying. Everyone has cancer, everyone has diabetes, everyone has heart attack.
50 years ago, cancer is not even in the top 10 causes of death. Now it is #1. Just because 99% of people will die of cancer 20 years from now, it doesn’t make any sense to say that it is normal because it is happening to everyone. Modern medicine should look back 50 years ago and see why they are not getting cancer instead of blaming the cancer cells for everything and declare a war on them!
Heart attack that is far up in the chart 50 years ago is now #2 killing cause. Why? Because human are suppose to die of cancer? People are suppose to die of hearth attack because these are the normal way to die?
[Skeptics and critics, there is no point for you to pull out statistics and tell me actually heart attack is not #2 but #4 or cancer is not #1 but #2. What can you get from that?]
The theories we are having now no longer serve us. Why need lots of facts and proves, a lot of researches and experiments that can’t deliver any results that we want?
Do you prefer loads of chart and figures that don’t create results you want or your prefer a method that has not much proves, under-researched but is giving you the results you want? Which theories you want to believe in?
Cancer statistics using modern medicine therapy is simple. 5 out of 10 who undergo the treatment (chemotherapy, operation removal, etc.) will die within 5 years. That’s less than 50% survival. The statistic is also biased because if one die in the 1st day of his 6th year, he is still consider a survivor. The statistic will not be updated after tracking the patient for 5 years.
People who choose not to undergo modern therapy shows significant better results. Nope, we don’t have amazing laboratories to do experiment. We don’t have loads of charts and figures and scientific terms to show you. But many of those who undergo natural healing therapy actually live 10, 20 or 30 years more! All you need to do is to find their stories in Google! There are just too many of them.
Modern medicine should do a lot of research on them and see what they are doing differently then others and learn from them! And then they should teach other cancer patients to do what they do!
[Unfortunately, this is difficult for them because natural therapy is simple, easy and cheap. They have complicated minds and they need to make things complicated before they can be happy. And most important they can't charge you expensive medical bills for simple therapy. That's why they have to invent complicated treatment for you so they can charge you more.]
If modern medicine is not ignorant and willing to look and listen. They will definitely notice the same pattern among the survivals, their method is always to change their lifestyle. Keyword – lifestyle. They change what they eat, how they live and how to think.
If you continue to do the same thing, you will get the same results. If modern medicine continue to do the same thing, they will get the same failures.
AhYap favorite’s quote, “If you do what others people do, you will get what others people get. They are poor, unhealthy and unhappy.”
Obama’s favorite quote, “Change we need!”
We need better theories. I don’t invent these theories, they are already out there for a long time. It is just the ignorant that is trying to ignore it.
Better Theory #1 – Germs don’t cause diseases, your lifestyle does.
Germs in just part of the equation. In order for germs to stay in a body, the body must be a suitable medium for their survival. They are just living organism like us. They need food and protection (predators). It is very difficult for us to live in Antarctica because it is too cold and it doesn’t have much food. All living organism has their preferences of survival. For example, fish need to live in water. Germs has their own preferences too.
If our blood has plenty of food for them and our immune system is weak, they will love to come and live there! There are too many toxin in our blood that serve as their food which also cause our immune system to be weak.
Think! If there is no food, how do this organism survive? If there are plenty of active white blood cells in your blood (their predators), how can they survive? If they can think, they won’t even want to get near you!
Germs is natural to us! Germs is normal! They have natural flow. They live in places that they can live in. And you can always found them in places suitable for their living. Just like we have people in almost all lands on earth. Just like we have fish in almost all water ponds. Just like grass and trees will simply grow back up again after you demolish them.
Better Theory #2 – Cancer is not a disease! It is a healing mechanism!
A long post has been written on this. This is an important post to read. When the toxin level in our body reach a critical level that our body couldn’t tolerate anymore, our body enter a ‘red alert’ situation and send out cancer cells (the Ramboos, the Ninjas, the Heroes) to control the situation.
Killing them will only make the body send more of them. The solution is to treat the root cause. What have you done to the body until it has to send out an army to work for you? Once you undo what you do, your body will order the cancer cells to retire.
Better Theory #3 – High cholesterol in your blood is a protection mechanism. Cholesterol is created by the body, they are not consumed via food!
High cholesterol is the cause of high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, and other blood vessel relate diseases. Because cholesterol jam the blood vessel, blood has to flow harder and thus result in high blood pressure (too much blood in too little space), heart attack (heart work too hard until it failed) and stroke (blood vessel exploded!).
Modern medicine observed this, which is true (partially true) just like how they observe the germs in sick patients, how they observe the cancer cells multiplying fast. Their approach is to use medicine to control the high blood pressure and to ask patients to consume food without cholesterol.
Does it work? Yes, in the short term. But the drugs and medicine used will cause kidney failure in the end because the drugs themselves are poison too. You solve one problem by creating another bigger one. You declare war on the wrong subject – cholesterol. You use the blaming approach and blame the cholesterol. You use ‘war approach’ to cholesterol.
[We should call these drugs 'cancer' instead because they are really destroying us]
Modern medicine believes that cholesterol is digested via food. Again you see how experiment can give wrong observations (more politely, incomplete observations) and then make wrong conclusions (more politely, inaccurate conclusions) and wrong approaches (more politely, inappropriate approaches).
They observe all high blood pressure patients and notice that most of them consume a lot of high cholesterol food. So it is logical for them to assume that they have consumed the cholesterol via food.
There is an interesting case in isolation. In their effort to fight cholesterol, they encounter a case where an entire family is in critical cholesterol level and is chosen to be the experiment target. For several years, researchers have done a lot to them including putting them to Zero-Cholestrol food. And yet, their body is still showing a high level of cholesterol.
They scratched their head helplessly. And they use their best blaming victim again, “It’s genetic!” Poor Mr Genes getting blame again and again for anything the modern medicine fail to tackle.
One day, a guy came in and say to the researches, “Since you can’t do anything for several years, why not lend me your patients for 3 months and see what I can do?”
They agreed, since they want this guy to feel ashamed of himself. If their team of smart intelligent researches can’t do a shit on this in several years, how can this man does something in 3 months? [Just like why some people think AhYap is a sohai because he thinks he can influence people and affect modern medicine by writing blog posts. And critic me again and again.]
This man, brings the cholesterol level of the ENTIRE family down to normal level in less than 3 months. All the experts couldn’t believe it and is showing their BIG round eyes and BIG mouth opened.
He is not trying to show off, he is trying to show the world the right observations, the right conclusion and the right approach. Just like what I am doing with my blog post. There is nothing to show off. It is not ignorant writing, and it is not that I don’t care! It is because I care too much and I have great pain seeing people suffering. I understand that my tone of writing might not be suitable but those will be changed to softer tones (I need some time).
The man explained, “Cholesterol can be created by the body anytime the body needs it!“. But hey, isn’t cholesterol a bad thing? It looks like a bad thing because you see it as the cause of high blood pressure and heart attack. But it exist for the simple reason! It protects your blood vessel from corroding!
Again all theories above come from the same school of thought. Your blood toxic and acidity level grow so high that it can actually corrode your blood vessel! If that happen, you will die! And in order to protect you, your intelligent healing mechanism of your body actually creates cholesterol and stick them around your blood vessel to protect them from the acidic blood!
Slowly, it cause unpleasant symptoms like high blood pressure, heart attack and stroke that you hate. But hey man, do you see the reason why it exist in the first place? Do you understand now why the genetically-high-cholesterol family can’t get their blood pressure down even with cholesterol-free food? And why the genes really has nothing wrong? [Actually can you see that not only the genes has nothing wrong, it is actually performing its work pretty well by creating cholesterol in your body?]
If your blood is not toxic and acidic, even if you consume cholesterol, it will be eliminate by the body quickly because your body doesn’t need it!
Now you see how Germs, Cancer and Vessel-Related disease can be linked together easily with the same school of thought while modern medicine try to look at all of them as isolation, as random, as genetically based, as war, as invaders…
Theory #4 – You have pimples not because your hormone has problem. You have dandruff not because your scalp got problem.
Grown up teenagers will suddenly have a lot of pimples and acne on their face. Modern medicine says it is due to the change of hormone. Mr Hormone, you are another poor victim of modern medicine after Mr Genes.
It’s not, again, it is the same as everything else, it is because of the change of lifestyle. Growing up teenagers suddenly feel like eating a lot, they eat all sorts of things from hamburgers to hot dogs and in a big quantity. The lifestyle, the food, change their blood. The blood get toxified and pimples, acne and dandruff are simply the intelligent body trying to eliminate toxin via the skin!
Also, bacterias can find food in their blood easily.
We eliminate toxin by many ways, we shit, we pee, we breath, we vomit … The skin can eliminate toxin by sweating, pimples, acne, dandruff, etc
That’s why if you listen to your body you can get a lot of messages/signals. Modern medicine treat pimples/acne with the ‘war method’ again. You eat antibiotics and use antibiotic creams. This is treating the symptom not the cause.
What you inherit from your parents is not the genes, what you inherit is their habits, their lifestyles.
Theory #5 – Stones don’t come spontaneously and randomly to your kidney and to your gallbladder!
Blood, toxic, acidity, lifestyle, habits … you already know the words I am going to use, you should already grasp the concept and the message I am trying to deliver.
Stones are not random. Stones are accumulated matter in the blood due to toxic blood again. It is like how oyster creates pearls! Do you know that all shell fish can’t shit and pee like us? They can’t eliminate toxic out of their body and what they can do is to accumulate them in a part of their body that will grow bigger and bigger in time. Some grow so nice that they become a pearls that women wear as necklace! [Scientifically, it is consider wearing 'shit', keke]
When u eat si-ham and la-la in the future, you are eating all their shit and pee in their entire life. Wakakaka.
Stones in our body is the same, the toxic can’t get out fast enough, so they accumulate. There are many toxic waiting to get out in the pipeline and those are the once queue at the back. You got to stop the poisoning, so they can be flush out.
Theory #6 – You are fat not because you are storing reserve energy. You are fat because you are storing a lot of waste in your body.
Sorry, this is not discrimination. This is LOVE. I love you, I want you to know.
Again this is not a new theory. This is Chinese Medicine theory.
Modern medicine is very interesting, they find us an excuse to get fat. They told us that fat in our body are extra energy storage in our body that can be use when we need them! It’s like you save some money in the bank so you can use them when you need money.
They invent a theory that says our body can use 2 kind of energies – the glucose and the fat. All energies that is not used will be kept in our body as fat. They also invent 2 terms in sport – aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise refer to exercise that uses oxygen and fat as fuel. Anaerobic exercise refer exercise that is not using oxygen and is using glucose as fuel.
They suggest people to slim down by doing aerobic exercise so it can burn their reserve energy.
Sounds cool. But is this theory correct?
If fat is reserve energy in our body, that would means that most people who completes the marathon run (42.195km) and the Ironman should be fat people because they have so much energy in their body, without looking at the time they need. If those fat in their body is really energy that can be used, all fat people in this world should be able to complete a 42.195km marathon run without a problem.They should also be able to slim down pretty fast just by running a marathon a day for a week.
But they can’t. Why? Because they are simply not energy! They are body waste that the body eagerly wants to get rid of! They are either stuck in the body because the elimination system is poor or broken or simply because you keep jamming your body with too many toxins that your body don’t have enough time to get them out!
I heard you say, “Hey, I did slim down after jogging for weeks”. Yes, it is true that jogging and exercise can slim you down but it is not because you burn the fat! It is because they are eliminated via sweat! Do you notice that you sweat a lot when you exercise? The waste in your body are eliminate as sweat via your skin.
Not only that you need to exercise to get those waste out, you will also need to stop poisoning yourself and increase your body efficiency in eliminating waste. And most important, because it is not ‘reserve energy’ but waste, it has nothing good to keep them in your body and delay your slimming project. They need to get out now!
Theory #7 - Why breast cancer and uterus cancer is more common than brain cancer and heart cancer? Because they are the most u……
I don’t know if modern medicine explain about that. The answer is again back to the intelligent healing mechanism of our body.
Why don’t brain cancer, or heart cancer a common cancer? Because heart and brain is critical organ in our body that affect the survival of our body! Body is very intelligent (body is underrated, mind is overrated). If we got loads of toxin in our body that the body cannot eliminate in time, it will be harmful to us. Since it must be kept in the body, the body will choose to deposits them into the most useless (~sorry~!) organ in our body to ensure our survival. That’s why the body choose to deposit them into the the uterus and into breast!
I know I know, I am not saying uterus and breast is not important. They are important in making the next generation and feeding your child but in terms of survival, they don’t play important roles. If the body choose to deposit the toxin to the heart or the brain, the body will die very quickly. What’s good with a nice breast on a dead body?
Theory #8 – Mind is Overrated, Body is Underrated.
We overrated the ability of mind. We thought that we knows everything. We thought that we can control everything. Does the mind really know how a wound really heal? The mind doesn’t know, but the body knows. Does the mind really knows how to control our heart beat, how fast it should beat and how hard it should beat? The minds wants to know everything, but the mind is far from knowing even a thing.
The healing ability of your body is far better than ANY doctors’ mind combined in the world.
Theory #9 – Theories are meant to be wrong
Theories are created by the mind to explain what it observed. We observed things with our 5 senses – see, hear, smell, taste, touch. But then our observations, and then the conclusion and theories that we made to explain the phenomena can went wrong in many ways. It can went so wrong that almost all theories are wrong. Including everything made by modern medicine and everything written above.
Why? Because the mind is hard to get things right. The mind is overrated. The mind is weaker than a small little ant.
A lot of time, our observations with the 5 senses already went wrong. Before Galileo discover that the earth is circling around the sun. Everyone thinks that the sun is actually circling around the earth. Because that’ what they observed. The illusion of sun rising up from the East and set in the West. And that’s why when making theories, we will have all sorts of illussions.
Even Galileo observation can be proven wrong one day later! Maybe our entire galaxy is spinning itself and circling around something else. And if you agree with Buddha who lives 2,600 years ago, he will tell you that there is really nothing in the universe! It is pure emptiness. An illusion. Don’t ask me to explain it because I am not enlighten yet to understand it.
Even if we consider the observation to be correct, the conclusions and approaches can be wrong too. A lot of examples has been given above. We make conclusion that germs cause diseases but in fact (in better theories that is wrong also) it is us that have invited the germs because we have created a good living environment for them. We approach it by killing them but in fact (in better theories) we should focus on the environment, not the bacteria.
New theories come out everyday, some get better, some get worse. Those who seems better (like the rise of modern medicine, the invention of antibiotics, the invention of spectacles, fluorite in the toothpaste, Calsium in the milk …) might actually be worse. And those that look worse might actually be better. It just depends on the perspectives that we want to see it.
Maybe Buddha is right, there is really no right or wrong. It is our mind that make it so. But it will take us a long time understand these. It is not when we will reach the destination that matter, what matter is are we heading at the right direction?
So, to Modern Medicine, is your direction “Killing or Healing?”
Theory #10 – Cause and Effect. Treat the cause, not the symptom (effect). But every cause is an effect of another cause!
Are you getting crazy? I am happy if you are following my post until now because it is really a very long post. If you are following until here, I am sure you have got something.
If you trace the cause and effect chain, you will notice that it will never end and you really can’t find the very root cause.
I said that modern medicine is treating the symptom (the effect) instead of the cause. For example, they try to kill the germs, kill the cancer cells, instead of changing their body condition by changing their lifestyles.
(Effect) Sick <- (Cause) Germs (Effect) <- (Cause) Toxic Body (Effect) <- (Cause) Lifestyles (Effect) <- (Cause) Culture? Education? … (Effect) <- (Cause) “Why are you born to the earth?” (Effect) <- (Cause) Christian/ Muslims: Created by God. Buddha, “Because you have a clouded mind.” (Effect) <- …. (never ending)
Even this cause and effect chain is over simplified! There isn’t just one cause to one effect. There will be multiple causes and multiple effects cross linking each other. And at the same time there are many factors and criteria that affect each other.
What we are trying to do, is to try to target the higher level of cause. Instead of focusing on the germs which is at the low level of the cause and effect chain, we should be aiming at the change of lifestyle which is sitting on the higher level of the chain.
The higher you can go, the better, usually it will end up at spiritual level. For example one might understand that no matter what we do, we will have to die. Thus life is not as serious as the mind make it to be and we can even let go of our body and attain spiritual realization. This is of course far higher level than stop eating hamburgers and drinking coke!
Use Research and Statistics Wisely!
We shall use statistics to help us, not to screw us. If you notice that 90% of people on earth is unhealthy, you should make up your mind to be the 10% that is healthy! If you notice that 90% of the people in the world in poor and unhappy, you should make up your mind to not end up like them! That means we refuse to take abnormal as normal. We decided to take responsible ourselves instead of blaming others. We choose to learn instead of blame. We rise up instead of falling apart. We choose to change instead of sticking to old believes that no longer serve us. We can let go of our face, our ego when we know it is fooling us, for the good of our self, our family, our friends and the entire humanity.
Happy Wesak Day!

Frankly im a dental student,so i sort of used to these terms..i knw what u mean.Im a dead fans of Ahyap.com,i saw your previous post on Cancer and milk,i made a little research and readings.I agreed.
Thus i shown my coursemates these,none could believe,they thought i knocked my head,sceptic.Out of the usual box i guess,they cant accept.None.
And i wanna knw if you could write on conventional studying way of most students,they stick to the way lecturer said so,knock knock,copy everything and just insert without filtering.Some are top scorers in class,just wonder why cant they just think out of the box.?
Are brain only for data storing?
interesting and good writeup. i mostly agreed with u. Medicine is not magic. Lifestyle is more important.
I love you post, pal.
Let me “cut-and-paste” a very common story I get from my forwarded email:
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the Case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan’s biggest
Cosmetics Companies. The Company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated
the Problem to the assembly! Line, which transported all the packaged Boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went
through the assembly line empty.
Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors
manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they
worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., But instead
came out with another solution. He bought a strong Industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each
soapbox passed the fan, it simply Blew the empty boxes out of the line.
Moral :
Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible Solution that solves the problem. Always focus on solutions & not on problems.
I guess it’s a way better choice from profit making perspective for a doctor to treat the symptom instead of the cause. There is a famous doctor in Penang where his clinic always full even though he only good in treating the symptoms. I am his patient as well. People keep going back to him because of two reasons. #1 You get cure very very fast after u consume his medicine. #2 You get ill again very very fast again after you stop consuming his medicine for a period.(P.s. it’s a specialize clinic instead of a normal one, due to he is so famous in Penang, I will not say it out what kind of specialize clinic it is, but for those who are his patient should aware about it.) So, he always got more and more patients to buy expensive medicines REGULARLY from him while he get richer & richer!
No offense to any doctors nor students who studying medicine, ask yourself, do you study medicine because of salvation or money? Well, don’t need to answer me, answer to yourself honestly. I am aware of there are still good doctors out there, but, doctors really earn hell of out a money don’t you think? Comfort zone demotivated people to pioneer into new method, since most doctors still get to earn so much even if they can’t cure you completely from some major decease like cancer, high cholesterol etc, why doctors are bother to change?
Ah Yap, you should be applause for your effort & caring attitude. You have earn my respect and please keep going with your benevolent job. It feels good to know that there are still someone out there who cares.
All dentist today (and those having tooth decay) need to know Dr Weston Price. Google on him. He is the dentist who can heal tooth decay. What do your lecturer and your dentist tell you about tooth decay? “They cannot be healed!” “It will only get worst!” “It is normal to have tooth decay when we get old!” Damn it modern medicine. [While I am more to vegetarian school of thought while Dr Weston Price recommends us to eat meat and drink milk, he is trying to tell us we need to take natural food instead of processed food.]
All optometrist and eyes specialist (and those who is wearing spectacles) need to know Dr William Bates. A few decades ago, we already have a solution to heal short-sightedness and far sightedness. But what modern medicine tell us about it? “Far-sightedness cannot be healed!”, “It will only get worse”, “You will have to wear glasses for your whole life!”. Damn it modern medicine. For well written book on Dr Bates, get Thomas Quackenbush “Relearning to See”.
We need to be open minded and have the ability to investigate! Please don’t just accept what people told you about tooth decay, myopia, cancer, high blood pressure, pimples, etc. because they can be way wrong! Your ego can win if you choose to ignore all this, but you will have to pay the price and suffer the consequences for it.
Actually a lot of people aware of this, lifestyle is key to healthy. But why a lot of people still seek for help of doctor, following the “killing” method to cure? why? this is because they have no choices! Lifestyle? what kind of lifestyle should they follow? sleep early? wake up early? drink at least 8 glass of water everyday? vegetarian?….a lots of healthy foods & drinks promoted everywhere. Even the guides of living with healthy lifestyle books is published and sold everywhere. They all knows about this, THIS IS NOT NEW AT ALL. What they want is HOW TO LIVE WITH HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. Different healthy lifestyle book have different opinion which are written by “PROffesional Proffesor with name of PhD xxx”. Some say defecate everyday is healthy, but some say defecate 3 times a day is healthy, some say eat fruit before meal is good for health, but some say eat fruit after an hour after meal. Who say is the true??? Well this kind of questions have no answer, the expert or professional will tell u “well this is depend on personal condition …bla bla bla….” and this result in varies of healthy lifestyle book such as “Healthy meal by following your blood types”, “Healthy meal by following your sex”, “Healthy meal by following your age”, and maybe like “Healthy meal by following your sex life =.=”. who say the truth?? har? everyone true? maybe!?
Some of them may not patient at all to follow the “healthy lifestyle” by giving many excuse such as “i need work la where got so many time prepare this meal zzz”
Some may say “I oledi follow the healthy lifesyle why still kena sick 1? WTF healthy books” after following the way after 3 months.
Then the “Expert” will say “Oh no, u must keep follow until the rest of your life…”
Some “Expert” will say “Oh u sick is mean ur body got a lot toxic, is like tat 1 dont worry, after get sicks sometime u will be healthy”
some many many more this kind of “Blow Water King” (may be they also pro at blowjob too)
My opinion is ur post just similar to stock market, u had told ppl secret of warren buffet how to earn money through stock market and the power replication, effect of snowball … but u dint tell them which stock to buy/sell and how to use the skills.
Well ur post is an inspiration for those want to live healthy.
And sorry to ppl read this comment coz my english sux…btw i am just young and stupid person.
Hi. I’m quite new to your blog here, just managed to read a few posts of yours before. I think that your blog posts are pretty good, extraordinary, and can stimulate our brains to think
I haven’t finish reading this whole post, but there’s something i wana comment and let other ppl know.
It’s about your “Fact 2- logical thinking” section. You said:
Number 1:
1. If the sky is cloudy, it will rain.
2. Today the sky is cloudy.
3. Today it will rain.
Number 2:
1. Germs cause diseases.
2. He has germs in his body.
3. That’s why he is sicked.
Number 3:
1. My car is red.
2. There is a red car.
3. That must be my car!
I read about this kind of “hypothesis” stuff (sorry, I could not remember the exact term how to call these things) on the newspaper before, and people often got mistaken when coming out with this kind of theories. There are various kind / types / formats of such hypothesis, e.g. “All A is B; X is A, therefore X is B”.
Number 1 is totally fine, nothing is wrong with that. It obeys “If today is A, then B; today is A, that’s why B”.
Number 2 is ok too, IF you are saying “[ALL] germs cause disease; he has germs; that’s why he’s sick”. However, if you are saying “[SOME]…” then the above won’t be true. Also, in real world, not all germs cause disease, right…?
Now about Number 3, sorry to say that it is completely wrong and misleading. It does not follow the “format” of those hypothesis theory. “My car” is just a *subset* of all red cars, therefore you can’t say that when there is a red car, that must be your car. If you change your 1st statement to “All red cars are mine”, then your Number 3 would be correct. I hope you can get my idea, as I could not express the idea well here. You could do some research on this kind of hypothesis theories. But until then, please *correct / update* that part to avoid misleading your beloved readers.
Anyway, I know what you are trying to tell us in that section is that we must always look on other factors
a pretty good blog you have here. And thanks for sharing all these info 
To commenter no 3, James:
You said: “Always focus on solutions & not on problems.”
I could not really agree with this. If you use this statement, isn’t it the way doctors use to cure cancer? refer to ahyap’s cancer blog post, where doctors just kill the cancer cells (the solution), but the cause (the problemis because of the patient keep on dumping rubbish into his body, ie. everyday McD, KFC etc.
To me, my statement would be “Always focus on the problem / main cause and come up with solutions that tackle the problem”. Isn’t it suppose to be that way?
And about your story, the solutions used by the japanese management (using X-ray) and the employee (using industrial fan) are *simple* solutions (make sure that empty soap box does not reach out to the customer) that do not tackle the cause / problem (ie. WHY is there an empty soap box?)
Just my two cents…
yes, I do agree with most of the theories that you have put up, in fact I believe most of my blog readers who are fans of the D.I.Y enzyme syrup would agree also. We do share the common view that if we want to stay healthy we should eat raw food whenever possible.
～～
Enzymes are a vital component of the digestive process, essential to the body’s absorption and full use of food. As we age we see the decline in our ability to breakdown food enzymatically. Raw foods provide enzymes that naturally breakdown food for proper absorption. However, most processed foods have little of the critical enzymes left in them. We also destroy most of the enzymes in food when we cook. Therefore raw foods provide more enzymes than cooked or processed foods.
There are two primary classes of enzymes responsible for maintaining life functions and they are digestive and metabolic. Digestive enzymes function as biological catalysts, helping to breakdown protein, fats, and carbohydrates. Metabolic enzymes are responsible for the repair of every cell and for the structuring and remodeling of every cell. Metabolic enzymes are needed for optimal health.

@winson tan and all,
I see that you are frustrated and confused. What you say is true and correct. Even though there are different opinions and advices among ‘experts’, you will also notice that there are just too many same opinions and advices out there. For example, do you think they will ask you to smoke? drink alcohol and coffee? eat fast food? no need to exercise? eat a lot of curry and fried noddles? Yes it is true some say eat fruits before food and some say it fruits after your food, you try both, listen to your body and let it tell you which one is correct. Even if you don’t know which one is correct, doing either one is better than not eating fruit! No expert will tell you fruit is bad. No expert will tell you vegetable is bad. But a lot of them will they you deep fried food is bad.
Having a good lifestyle doesn’t mean you need to do things 100% right. Actually no one can do 100% and no one knows what is 100% right. If you can do 70% right and maintain your health at score-70 and above all the time, doing some wrong thing and eating some wrong food won’t be a big problem. Our body is so intelligent that it can take care of itself as long as you don’t abuse it! So ask yourself how many % you are doing right and what is your health score if you are to rate yourself! If you are comfortable with the number, then continue what you do. If you are not, change!
Japanese are the most healthy living beings in the world with the most old folks. If you look at what they eat, you will be surprise they like to eat a lot of pork and they seldom eat vegetables! But if you make a conclusion that they are healthy because they eat a lot of pork and there is no need to eat vegetables to get healthy, you might be way wrong. As I say, if you can do 70% things right, you are doing pretty well. Do you know that it is hard to find fat Japanese on the street (other than Sumo wrestler)? Do you know why? Because they have a walking culture just like the Singaporeans and those in Hong Kong. It is normal for them to walk a few kilometres a day? So Malaysians, how much did you walk a day? How much did you exercise a day? Even the pork they eat is way different than us. They put a lot of attention to food freshness, food quality and food cleanliness. And most important, they eat simple – noodles with some meat, or just rice with some meat. They don’t even drink tea or coffee! All of them drink plain water when dining. There are just too many things that they do right, and HEY, there are just too many things that Malaysian are doing wrong when it comes to lifestyle. Cigarettes, coffee, teh-tarik, not exercising, fast food, deep-fried food, curry mee, nasi lemak, prawn mee, pisang goreng…
@Gan, all 3 examples are incorrect and misleading. The #3 is an example to show it clearly to anyone. That’s why logical thinking are not logic and most observations, conclusions and theories from so-called scientific research and modern medicine are incorrect and misleading. For #1, do you guarantee that the it will rain when the sky are cloudy? And how do you define cloudy? There are just too many confusions and blind spots. That’s why you see germs in ones body doesn’t mean that it is the germs that cause the disease! Because the same germs might have attack another person but failed.
It’s me again. Though I’ve read the whole post, I have to say I’m not fully convinced yet, but that is really an impressive, thought-provoking post I have to admit.
1. What you have described in your long post is PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES. All health experts agree with you that a better lifestyle will lead to good health. No one here will probably disagree that more exercise, vegetables, fruits, less meat, no alcohol, no smoking, rest well, sleep well, control stress is a guide to a better health.
2. The suggested LIFESTYLE above are recommended by modern/western/oriental/traditional health practitioners. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. All those are known through approaches like observation, statistics, cause-effect and scientific approach. Then what is obviously wrong here?
3. HEALING is what happens when everything is TOO LATE. People never follow the suggested lifestyle, if not we are already perfect. The Japanese may have longer life span, but that is also statistics! Do you know that SUMO WRESTLERS lifestyle is very dangerous for health? MODERN MEDICINE comes in when the body is too late to heal;
a)When there is already cancer, everything is usually too late. Doctors prescribe last minute measures like chemotherapy to extend your life, although most cases you will not survive. That is why when you get cancer your expected lifetime is sometimes months or weeks. EVEN IF YOU REVERSE YOUR LIFESTYLE IT IS TOO LATE.
b)Everyone knows that lifestyle is not good, but they still do it. It cant be helped by anyone else except YOURSELF. Let me ask you ahyap, since you read so much health-related books- do you stop smoking even though it harms you? If your answer is no, then that is probably the case with the famous fat doctor you said. He might be a doctor, health expert – but he did his duty to heal all those sick people day and night and ignored his own body, for me that sounds like a HERO.
4) yes modern medicine treats symptoms rather than the cause. why, because usually the cause rests with the willingness/spirituality of that sick person. so what does the doctor do when they see sick people? ONE they prescribe meds for short term healing. TWO they advise you on WHAT TO DO or NOT TO DO. in this case TWO is most important, if not why do we pay so much medical fees? they dont study 5/6 years of medicine for nothing. they are PROFESSIONALS- you should believe in them. ASK them what you should do when you are sick, because that ADVICE costs more than those petty meds.
5) MEDICINES are SHORTCUTS to heal your sickness. I am talking about minor diseases like flu, headache etc. yes, they can heal themselves automatically but will they? for a normal flu to heal takes more than 3 days but with the help of modern medicine, youre healed in afer a rest. wow thats magic? no, because it only CURE ONE OF YOUR SYMPTOMS, it acts only as SHORTCUT. will people choose to have fever for five days or will you take panadol and get healed in one day? some more, what if tomorrow you have presentation, exam, meeting? which one will you jeopardize? that is MODERN MEDICINE. I repeat, its just SHORTCUTS.
6)how about LONG TERM diseases you ask? well I say dont pray for MEDICINES, no matter if its MODERN/TRADITIONAL/CONVENTIONAL/NATURAL or what not, blame your lifestyle. even though meds can help you a bit more, reversing your lifestyle is USUALLY TOO LATE- but I didnt say you cant try though. but dont ever blame and curse modern medicine is not working/healing you because those are just last choices/measures only available. also the doctors will also advise on your lifestyle, if no smoking means really no smoking- its really up to you.
MY POINT:
so what is my point of all the long comments. my point is that dont disregard MODERN MEDICINE. doctors, health experts dont study so much for nothing. they are not called specialists/professionals for nothing. have faith in them. because SCIENTIFIC METHOD has stood test of time. theories dont mean to be correct, but it means that it is CORRECT for current time, and in majority condition. if you live 2000 years ago and you say earth is not the center of the universe, you will get killed because the majority of the current people believes so, so it is plausible in THAT TIME. the beauty of scientific method is that it CHANGES through time. so dont believe in hocuspocus mojojojo magic/bomoh stuff to heal your illness. the conclusion here is, DONT SAY modern medicine is bad because some says so.
yangsquare.com
Hi everyone,
I am new here. And, I am a naturopath educated in the “sciences” (biotechnology and its scientific research methods to be specific). Let me share with you a few things here:
1. Mainstream science has gained its credibility by being MOST OF THE TIME RIGHT. This does not mean it still will be right in the future as its totally dynamic field where new knowledge is constantly being replaced e.g. ask a professor about an old textbook’s relevance. Its dynamic nature cause people to lose faith and get confused (that’s why we have professionals to manage the confusion for you) in the scientific world. When people get more knowledgeable of the limitations and that it merely offers a quick-fix to health, the far-sighted people usually don’t buy science. But, they don’t reject it at the same time. Its being wise if you like to call it that way.
2. Secondly, science actually learns from nature. Science is the art of studying nature. Today’s drugs most of it is derived from the biological components of nature. However, science, because it knows its own limitations; it only dares to isolate a sub particle of a complex herb to study and proof the “harmlessness” (or in other words – reduced toxicity) to treat/cure a disease for the GENERAL POPULACE consumption. They cannot understand fully the impact(positive/negative) of a drug after being 10-15 years in the market. Take COX-2 Inhibitor for instance, they had to withdraw when people started to show elevated risk for myocardial infarction (MI).
3. And, I don’t agree to the way yangsquare’s pessimism to lifestyle and how we are not in control of it. Its very simple, if you so desire you can control who you want to be in the future. And they say that, you are what you eat! Even in the area of science it is an issue of research: a patient’s compliance to medication adherence. The result is usually low compliance/noncompliance. So, the subject is the human being himself and getting educated/increase his awareness. Lastly, being open to knowledge as ahyap pointed out and knowing what to do after complete research. In short, making an informed decision a crucial part of being an intelligent human.
So what’s the take home message.
- Don’t blindly listen to doctors and worry yourself.
- Don’t be dependent on drugs to heal yourself. Your body is designed to do that.
- Take drugs only if you have no choice or its too painful too bare.
- Try not to become sick in the first place.
- Be thankful to science. Thankful for its drugs to treat you. And, also thank when it admits it made a mistake and withdraws obsolete knowledge/product from commercialised science.
Nicely written. I like how you end everything. Focussing on the higher level of cause.
Thanks your reply. Good point about keep maintaining 70 health score and above.
I agreed with the natural body rejuvenation abilities. So far i seldom get sick and i dint take any medicines for curing the ills because my body will get recover back after rest for few days and drink enough of water.
But with helps of doctor my sick may be recover back faster just like what yangsquare said in post 12. Of course you will pay back something in order to get the shortcut to recover from sick such as drugs may kill some of good germs in your body beside killing the bad germs that make you sick.
All of you have good point in your comments.
MY POINTs:
Everything in the world is following Equilibrium system and Compromise system, you cant get everything goods without efforts.
Example of Compromise system:
You are getting sick, you want to get back normal, but unfortunately you only can pick 1 of the choices below:
1.No killing good germs (rest until recovered)
2.Fast recovery and less suffered (eat medicines to get faster recovery)
Another real life example:
You are hungry and you want to eat but you only can pick 2 of the following choices
1.Fast delivered (Quantity)
2.Delicious (Quality)
3.Cheap (Expenses)
If u pick 1 and 2 then u need pay more money (rich man @@)
If u pick 1 and 3 then ur food not delicious (but can solve hunger)
If u pick 2 and 3 then u need wait long time lo…(coz many ppl ma)
So want to eat medicines or not it all depends ur choices and requirements.
What about equilibrium system?
For Chinese there is a thousand years history idiom call 物极必反 which mean thing will get worst/negative effect if you abuse using it
Example:
Some people experienced serious insomnia (cant sleep in night), taking few sleeping pills may help them solve the problem sometime. what happen if eat too much of sleeping pill at one time? May be u gonna have chance to meet ur grand grand grand ancestors. But if you over eaten the pills (i mean EXTREME many), it not gonna kill u, why? bcoz your stomach reject it!! Your body gonna make u vomit all these pills. Well ur body systems save u ~~
*So next time if u want to suicide by eating pills pls dont take too much but moderate portions of it (same as drinking poison).
Well eating pills or not is up to you..
My last point which is the most IMPORTANT point, sharing HAPPINESS with “someone” is the reason u are here, in earth.
well, i like your post, and the way u post, even thought sometimes its sounds nasty and over extreme. You got your points here.
need to “borrow” your formula:
1 doctor and scientiest are human
2 human = they can’t be 100% correct
3 doctor and scientiest can’t be 100% correct.
like what you said, if your lifestyle can meet 70% in healthy, it is good enough for your health.
Why your 70% didn’t apply to doc, scientist and the modern medicine? What i seeing here is u keep shooting their 30% “inperfect”, yes, healthy lifetyle is important, but living in diffrent era, we have different lifestyle, can you get rid of handphone with radiation? can you get rid of internet that harm your eyes? can you get rid of your vehicle that produce monoksida? unless you live in jungle.
What modern science can do is reduce the pain and suffer of what we face, from the result of unhealthy lifetyle (30%), unhealthy environment (30%).. and there is one point you have missed…. EMOTION (40%)! Mr.A, he is happy, he smoke 1 pack of cigarrete per day, he still live until 80s. Mr.B, after bankruptcy, he is depress, he got shot by cancer and gone within a year.
Modern medicine is doing 70% right in the emergency room but 70% wrong in treating cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc. That’s why I need to be nasty and shout so loud.
My friend is diagnosed with leukemia, one of the most nasty cancer out there. The doctor asked him to pay SGD20,000 for immediate treatment with less than 40% survival chance or else he will die in 3 months (doctor words). But my friend is lucky enough to have no money! He lives until today for 10+ years living more healthy than last time, keep changing people life the way he did by helping people get heal from cancer without undergoing painful treatments that will still kill them at the end. Too many examples like this, even the doctors are ignoring this (scientist trying to ignore facts!). Isn’t doctors and modern medicine should investigate what my friend did to get well (and other people that he teach that also get well)? Instead of insisting the modern medicine way of treatment the ‘holy’ and the only ‘rightful’ treatment? And not only that this so-called scientist ignore the facts that my friend and a lot others get healed. They also ignore one important fact – that their so-called scientific treatment has kill a lot of people! 10 years ago, another friend of mine who sit beside me in Form 5, died. He got leukemia too. He is not lucky because his parents has money. He undergo the treatment in Singapore too. He didn’t die of cancer, he die of the consequences of chemotherapy because it wiped up his white blood cells bringing his immune system to 0. He is killed by the harmless flu virus.
Repeat, doctors are doing 70% wrong outside the emergency room! Doctor outside the emergency room is like telling people the sun is circling around the earth! Telling people that sound travel faster than the light.
But the good news is, there are a few % of good doctors out there that is awakened. Once we get this number higher, we will have hope to change the entire modern medicine and put them into the right path. I hope it happens before our civilization needs to pay a big price for it. Think about your mum, think about your dad, think about yourself, your wife and your kids, do you want them to end up like everybody else? Do you want them to have cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol …
While it is hard to get rid of internet and hand phone, it is easy to stay away from pop corn, french friends, hamburgers, nasi lemak, etc. We can focus on things that we can do. If you are cooking at home, you can cook brown rice instead of white rice, you can choose to steam your fish instead of frying them, you can eat a lot of fruits and vegetables. All of these ‘can do’ will be able to neutralize our ‘unavoidables’ like radiation and pollution. Most people just forget that how much they can do but instead keep on focusing on the ‘cannot do’. I am writing blogs, that is one of my ‘can do’.
A lot of people trusting modern medicine doesn’t mean they are right! And we don’t have to believe what everyone else is believing in, cause everyone else is poor, unhealthy and unhappy.
Hi Ah Yap,
Do you know how to cure rheumatoid arthritis? Western doctors prescribe antiinflammatories and cancer drugs for it. Anybody heard of any natural way to cure it?
“They also invent 2 terms in sport – aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise refer to exercise that uses oxygen and fat as fuel. Anaerobic exercise refer exercise that is not using oxygen and is using glucose as fuel.”
You say:
aerobic -> uses -> oxygen+fat
ANaerobic -> uses -> glucose
“They suggest people to slim down by doing ANaerobic exercise so it can burn their reserve energy.”
here:
please look into it
ANaerobic -> uses -> FAT…
i think it’s a typing error
GREAT post anyway
hi Ah Yap,
nice post yap, your posts always make sense to me. Allow me to share my point of view =)
We all create or manifest our own disease, therefore we are the “cause”. Once you acknowledge that, you have the power to change! I’m not against the medical treatment, but doctors can only work on the ‘effect’, not the ’cause’, YOU are the one who cause all the disease, and even your life problems. If you don’t remove the “cause”, the “effect” will keep reappearing.
All our body functions are controlled by the subconscious mind. It controls your heartbeat, your blood pressure etc. It works 24/7/365 non stop. Since the subconscious mind controls all our body functions, all diseases are created/manifested by the subconscious mind. I believe the subconscious mind has the ” intelligent healing mechanism” inherent in it.
*hope you understand what I’m trying to say*
Doctors are important. They can help the process of healing, but you are the ultimate healer, your subconscious mind is the ultimate healer!
To those who wish to find out more, I suggest the following books:
-> The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy.
-> You Can Heal Your Life by Louise L. Hay
-> Article from Johns Hopkins on cancer
have a nice day.
Doctors or general practitioners nowadays are just like the AUTO MECHANICS.
They rather speak the same language without acknowledging that you don’t have a clur WTF they’re talking about. They speak sci3nt!f!c language most of the time.
Hi AhYap,
Thanks for the great post. I have always been a fan of your ‘articles’. They really opened up my mind and my perspectives. I find that your ‘articles’ make a lot of sense and they way you explain it is very easy to understand for the layman. Where do you get your information from anyway?
Great stuff and keep up the good work!
P/S – I call your posts ‘articles’ coz I think they deserve to be in magazine columns!
I am sorry to say that i am completely opposed to this article. modern medicine has developed over the course of hundreds of years, starting from the Greeks al the way to modern Western medicine. I am also sorry to say that getting high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. is not “normal” at all. It is caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and any doctor which says otherwise is an idiot.
and, “Why some nurse who come close to SARS patient got infected while some don’t? Why the 2 roommates who share the very same room and got bitten by lots of mosquitoes, 1 got dengue and the other got nothing?” is statistically impossible.
my advice is, don’t take medicine, and live whatever life you so wish to. everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I know for an undisputed fact that you’re wrong. unless you are right.
-a 15 year old’s view-
But i must agree that we should change our lifestyle. But you are right if researchers blame something just to get rid of suspicion or doubt upon the validity of their experiment, but your statement that fat is made of waste products is just plain idiotic. Fat is what the body stores, or are you saying that our body’s “toxins”/shit is stored under our skin? And fat is not bad, per say, fat is actually insulation, only when there is too much is it harmful.
In response to Benjamin’s post:
The heart is controlled by electrical impulses from the heart locale itself, i believe, with no work from the subconscious mind, that’s why the heart still beats for a few moments after death, and why a pacemaker is attached to the heart and not the brain. the subconscious is still an unresearched area, and i advise you not to believe everything you read about it
Rak999 is a good example of people who can’t think out of the box, who are too ego minded, who can’t change and adapt, who thought that the intellectuals are always right, who like to attack but don’t come with ‘facts’ other than what he has been “brain washed” by the society, who can’t be open minded and ready to investigate.
> “I know for an undisputed fact that you’re wrong”
This is so ego. Using the word I and then the word you’re wrong. Some more “undisputed” and “fact”, while my long writing is all about challenging the “facts”. I doubt he really read and get anything.
> “is statistically impossible. ”
Use statistic to serve you, not to screw you. This has been talked in my cancer post. If 1 out of 10 nurse didn’t get infected, find out WHY and LEARN from it! If 1 out of 10 people get healed from cancer, learn WHY and LEARN from it.
I’m sorry for you. All further comments like this will be deleted. Go to YouTube if you want to fuck people. There you can find a sohai like you.
Fantastic blog, AhYap, and I totally agree with all that you say….
I was diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago, and have refused chemo. It was a huge ‘wake up’ call for me, and I have spent many hours since in researching the whole issue of human health and cancer.
I am having treatment (I was lucky enough to find a doctor who would do this) intravenous Vitamin C (plus other vitamins), but the most important thing I am doing is changing my entire way of living.
I know now that for most of my life my diet was poor (vegetarian, but very limited and relied heavily on processed foods and cheese), my lifestyle was unhealthy (I had been agoraphobic for several years and barely left the house = little or no sunshine, little or no exercise), plus I was a very fearful and anxious person, with many negative thoughts and many worries. I think this has played a very big part in the manifestation of cancer. I was very negative about myself – I was full of guilt and self denigration, and this must be so toxic to the body.
The cancer is already breaking down and I know that these changes will ‘cure’ me. But it has been such an eye opener to me and like you, I want to share what I now understand. Cancer is not a disease – it’s a defense mechanism and the world needs to understand that.
I too am confused about what is healthy (at least in terms of diet). I have started to eat organic meat, and plenty of vegetables and fruit. I am trying to eat fairly simply – so food in its most natural state. But milk, eggs, butter, are these things healthy, or to be avoided? There are so many conflicting ideas….
Thank you for your blog and I hope more and more and more people read it.
What AhYap said is correct. All theories are wrong since the beginning. If all theories are correct, we do not need R&D today. I can assure you that even einstein theory is wrong in some way. There will never be a 100% correct answer to everything.
Rak999 you need to stop living in a perfect world where maths and sciences can explain anything.
we constantly discover new things n theories at new time. i think what ahyap want to most tell us is’be open-minded’ n ready to change. many egoistic people stick their own teachings n mindset they r unable to receive sth new.
just like extreme terrorism. since child, their parents told them Jesus is pig, sex-maniac, americans r demon’s child n bla bla. so even the day they died (suicide bombing), they still sohai shout Allah-akhbar (eventhough Allah does not teach human kill one another)
when orville n wilbur wright c birds fly, they make aeroplane. ppl ridiculed,mocked,insulted n laughed at their silliness. what we c in our skies now is jet,rocket,airasia,MAS, n helicopter.
because by STATISTICS, there r 0% people flying in that time. so, donkey-minded people like rak999 thinks that it is totally impossbile n 100% rejected the idea.
when galileo opposed copernicus theory that earth is actualy oribittin the sun, all people mocked him, banned his writings n house arrest him. now we know which is which.
All these examples demonstrate that although we hold our strong beliefs n principles, we need to stay open-minded to other theories n opinions b4 shutting down ur brain to anythin else. that’s called ego,donkey,dai lan ngong.
usually 1st honor students, medicine students r lidat. score pngk 3.7 or 4 what’s the point ? u copy all things u read n listen from lecturer without filtering anythin by thinkin urself. those r the kononya future scientist n doctors in future.
Religion is of same thing. Most people are bornt with their religion. when ur bornt muslim, u will never able to accept christian. coz muslim told them Jesus is prophet instead of Son of God.
coz they r being brainwashed since small. they never go out n explore n investigate everythin n jumped to conclusion. yes Allah is the only one. (christians did same thing, buddhist , hindus too)
unless u explore all theories n possibilities only u decide where u want to go instead of being a buffalo.
many people r copycats n followers. they liked to follow majority. just like fashion. ppl said that’s hot. they spent $$$$ n follow. in the end, fashion goes outdated n there goes $$.
narrow-minded n egoistic people = walking corpse
