  • Its like a problem looking at us eye to eye and challenging us what are we suppose to do about it!! Personally, I feel that cancer as the leading cause of mortality is our own creation. We created this disease as we let “progress” take its toll on us and on Mother Earth. How much…

  • I recently got wind of an Naturopathic doctor who was diagnosed with cancer. What was remarkable to note was that this doctor TOTALLY I mean TOTALLY abhors chemotherapy and isn’t afraid of sticking that opinion to the patients. The doctor would even reprimand short of cursing them why did they undergo chemotherapy. I guess the…

Recently, more and more research have come out about…

  • I am totally shocked right now, knowing that one of my patients had just passed away. He was just hospitalized for pneumonia but apparently, things got worse than better. I was already looking forward of seeing him again, after his wife called and told me that he was looking to see me too! His condition…

  • Its Christmas and I’m not exactly so happy, My patient just passed away a few days ago from sepsis. It was forthcoming, I knew it the moment the wife called in to tell me that her husband will go to the hospital because of infection in his T-tube. Its so sad and ironic, that the…
