Think before you pink
Hi all,
I have many new lady friends who unfortunately are already pink :(
I append a website called "Think before you pink" for my many wonderful lady friends who are still very healthy and vibrant. To them I advice that they do the needful and checkups necessary to remain pink free. I have the male version of pink. I am purple :( and I know what it is like going through the ordeals.
Precaution and knowledge are the best cure for all illness. Awareness programmes and pink support groups will always show the ways ahead.
Visit the website here:

If you have any doubts and need more information you can contact our local National Cancer Society Malaysia.
Take care

Mr. Hongchi Xiao
Hi All,
I append Mr Hongchi Xiao's recent interview for your attention.Please watch until the end to comprehend. His work is awesome. He advocates self healing and there is a lot of truth in what he is practicing. My sifu Master Yap teaches the same techniques. It works and its free.
I have seen many fellow patients giving up medical treatment because it is just too expensive. Most sell off their houses and expand their life's savings, not to mention draining off children and caregivers economically. Prevention is the best cure for all illness.
Thank you Mr Hongchi Xiao, you are an angel in passing by our lives.

Happy Birthday Master Yap
Master Yap turning 60
QiQong Cake
Yummy
Congratulations
Always encouraging
Master Yap turns 60 tomorrow. But he certainly does not look the age he is. Thanks to Zhineng Gigong.
Master Yap is a cancer survivor several times over and more. He had survived more than 15 years despite the doctor giving him only several months to live. He turned to QiGong and the rest was history.
We are very fortunate to have Master Yap, when he fully understands our predicament and our needs to survive like him? He walks the talk. He passes on his learning’s, experience with cancer and other illness. He has cured himself. What a wonderful mentor.
We get together every Sunday morning for our QiGong Lessons. The two hours or so is worth the whole weeks own practicing at home. He is professional, compassionate and good teacher. All of us always look forward to his class every Sunday.
Happy Birthday Master Yap. Thank you for sharing with us QiGong. Many happy returns for the day.

The Infantry
The Infantry is the foot soldier. I had discussed combat power in my previous post and I had deliberately left out the basic foot soldier as an element of combat power. The Infantry foot soldiers are awesome fighting troops. They are always organized into sections, platoons, battalions, brigades and divisions. The Infantry Division is the most complete and self- sustaining formation in any army. It is always battle ready and is organized to advance, attack, defence, or tactically redeploy at will. Most importantly, the Infantry is the only combat power capable to hold ground. I know, as I was the Ketua Staff (Chief of Staff) of the Malaysia Fourth Infantry Division.
Our body cells are our Infantry foot soldiers. They live and fight to destroy our body enemies daily in all parts of our bodies. Every second and every minute of the day and night. Every terrain, every ground of tactical importance and every vital ground is held by our good body cells, particularly the cells known as T cells. Our body combat troops cannot sleep nor rest. And our good body cells need bullets, food and protection to perform it vital role to destroy the enemies within our bodies. Our good body cells need to be immune to the counter attacks by our body enemies, It must be particularly immunized to withstand the proliferation of cancer cells.
We cannot overlook the importance of getting our good body cells to be strong and vitalized at all times. It needs all the proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to be strong and vigilant. A sick person has poorly nourished body cells. He will succumb to the enemy in time. The sick person’s body gives up the battle easily. We cannot compromise a healthy body. A person with cancer cells is not unhealthy and need not be unhealthy. He has cancer to be dealt with. A problem to be solved. He needs his good body cells to attack and destroy the cancer cells. Our body cells are the best fighting troops against cancer.
My earlier posts have described various approach to make our bodies strong and healthy. We must have a plan to provide good food, nutrition, minerals, antioxidants and rest for our body. I basically eat 80% fruits and vegetables and 20% of meats. I also particularly eat my fruits before meals, as digestion of vitamins are better on an empty stomach. I take my medication and supplements on a regular scheduled basis. I make sure to have regular rest time at night for my body cells to reorganise and recuperate. I am a good commander. I know my troops better than their mothers do.

Combat Power
Happy New Year 2011. It has been a full year since the detection and my treatments for the prostrate cancer in me. I survived a year to say the least. Thanks to my Oncologist, staff of HUKM, Friends in NCSM, my family and all my friends who had cared and helped me along in my fight against Cancer. We won the battle together. It wasn’t an easy year, particularly in the first 4 months or so. But we are ahead and maintaining full momentum towards full recovery. Along the way I had met many wonderful new friends, learnt a lot more about cancer, our immune system, diet, nutrition, QiGong and God, and a bit of everything else. Looking back I am convinced that my career in the army had played a very significant role towards achieving this success. I may have left the army, but the army have not left me. My fight against cancer is very much the same as fighting the war against our enemies. It needs strategy, combat power, decisive actions, momentum, speed and discipline. The hype word in combating cancer today is to take a holistic approach. But this means many things to the Oncologist, advocators and patients, but by and large, the holistic approach is a singular approach to most practitioners. I am of the opinion that it is not so. The holistic approach is very much a multiple approach for synergy and effectiveness. In my fight against cancer, I had employed everything and anything. It is an all out war and there is no runners up, only the victor. Perhaps most unfamiliar to all people, except to soldiers, is combat power. What is combat power in the military? Combat power is essentially firepower. It means troops, guns, tanks, aircrafts, ships etc etc. Combat power should be used to its fullest at the most opportune time. Combat power has been the core doctrine throughout my military training. I have to employ all the combat power available to me to combat cancer. What do I have? Military hardwares are no good for my fight against cancer. But I have more. I would like to table out my combat powers available for me to fight cancer in the list below. I will also assign a weighted combat power value to each power. The value of ten being highest strength and power. They are awesome.
I have been blessed to acknowledge the strength of the above combat powers. I employ these combat powers daily to great satisfaction and good health. Employing all the Combat powers daily gives me a strong force multiplier throughout the day. Cancer cannot sustain my daily bombardments. It will die. Let’s fight cancer. We will certainly win, with all the combat powers available to us. I was, and still am a soldier. I can amass my combat powers to full force with discipline. Allen Lai |
