Life Repair
Just less than a hundred years ago, antibiotics were discovered by a western scientist. This marked an extremely important milestone in healthcare, and millions of lives were saved from fatal bacterial infections. Today, antibiotics still play a crucial role in the treatment of infections. However, a pandemic of emergence of multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria has occurred, and has taken countless lives.
From a doctor's perspective, we see that the problem does not merely originate from antibiotic misuse. The conventional approach we use to treat various diseases more or less follows that of which we use to treat infections. The approach used in current cancer treatment and research is a typical example.
Around ten years ago, the United States government has declared failure in the mission to successfully treat and control cancer. A key determinant to this failure lies in the approach to which we tackle the disease - we are still using the same logic we use in the treatment of infections.
Effective treatment of bacterial infection requires eliminating the invading organism. Therefore, it may be logical to think that treating cancer requires the elimination of tumour cells by various aggressive methods.
Limited Side Effect
Despite its failure, the conventional approach we adopt to treat cancer around the word still involves eliminating the tumour by means of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Howerver, these methods are frequently unsuccessful in achieving complete tumour remission. Disease recurrence, frequently at sites distant from the primary disease, is common. Infections occur as result of to the invasion of the body by micro-organisms. On the other hand, tumour cells are not foreign organisms; they originate from normal cells of the body. Therefore, the same logic used in the treatment of infections cannot apply to the treatment of cancer.
Despite knowing the fact that the conventional approach towards anti-cancer treatment is incorrect, great amount of funds are still invested in medical research that follow the same paths every year. Meanwhile, cancer incidence, prevalence and mortality continues to rise rapidly. It is extremely important that we change our approach and treatment practices as soon as possible.
'Life repair' is a new treatment modality I have adopted after many years of clinical practice and research in cancer treatment. It has the following features:
1) It follows important concepts extracted and integrated from both Chinese and Western Medicine, and is derived from further development of this integration.
2) It uses a novel treatment approach developed from new insights in normal body physiology and tumour pathology. The aim is to repair normal physiological mechanisms while treating cancer.
3) It consists of treatment derived from natural herbs. Chemically produced compounds like chemotherapy, or radiation are not used.
4) It emphasises on a personalised, holistic approach in anti-cancer treatment, instead of using the same treatment strategy for every patient.
5) 'Life repair' involves nurturing the body, repairing deviant processes and restoring normal defense mechanisms. It does not involve aggressive means to 'kill' or eliminate' cancer cells. The treatment process does not result in significant adverse effects.
'Life repair' has been used in clinical practice for many years, and has saved numerous lives as result of its remarkable outcomes. Clinical case summaries with objective evidence to measure and illustrate treatment success are included in case study of this website. However, its worthwhile to mention that the ability of a single individual or a small group of people is very limited. To make a difference in treatment outcome for a larger population requires support and attention from various disciplines of our society.
