Happy Doctor

I had this patient who had prostate cancer with metastasis to the bones. Luckily for all of us, the metastasis is not giving him pain!

Prior to his discharge from the hospital, he asked his daughter why is it that I was always seem so happy? My first reaction was to laugh out loud and shake my head in disbelief!!! Apparently, the patient was perplexed at this weird doctor who kept on smiling. He seems to be used to doctors who are very serious and quite frankly some even a bit snobbish.

Well, I guess I can claim that I am just trying to project to the patients that Laughter truly is the best medicine, and who else but the doctor him/herself should deliver it!!!

How can it get better than that!!!

Family support

For some unknown reasons, I am getting a lot of patients now with liver cancer, metastatic. All of them above 65.

Whats good about them is that even if their doctors have pronounced a Death sentence, they still believe and I agree with them, its not over until the FAT LADY sings or in this case when St. Peter calls them.

So whats more apparent in these persons is that I can't say anything about the family support. As I said to one of them, 80% of your survival now is entirely up to you! If you decide, "lets call it quits!" then there is nothing else we can do about it.

Twenty percent of the person's survival chances is the family and friends support. Time and time again I have seen it, if the family support is strong, our treatment does wonders to them, but if the family is passive, unsupportive or frankly hostile, we won't go anywhere.

So where does the doctor's or healer's help come in to play? Whether you believe it or not, its not inside the 100%, its only an extra or should we say placebo? of course a lot of people, especially doctors will disagree!

I guess its only an interesting point of view of mine.

Paranoid schizoprenia

I am humbled to meet and help a 48-yr old male who is currently semi-employed, meaning he's earning like less than $4 in lets say a week!

He was referred to me by a patient of mine, who gives him money for his anti-psychotic medications. He was on Thorazine 600mg daily! I couldn't believe he could even walk straight.

Anyway, afterwh we did Access, he was very much relieved of his paranoid delusions of someone trying to kill him. I feel so sad that he lost his job because of his delusions.

Will see him again next week I hope we can reduce the Thorazine soon!

Burned and fried to a crisp

Last week, I saw a patient who had inflammatory breast cancer, she was given radiotherapy and chemotherapy. No surgery was performed. After a year of the treatment, the cancer seems to be in remission.

However, the sad part is due to the high doses of chemo and radiotherapy, her whole left arm is now completely paralyzed with decreased sensations.

I am quite impressed at this mother of 3, who is still smiling and doesn't really seem to be very much affected with her condition. I guess, at least she's still alive and not in pain.

I hope we can bring some movements back to her arm!

Something to think about

Crazy Blogging

Was up all night reading this. It shows us the degradation of our society as a whole!

Good luck to all of us.

Pig brain

I just came from a lecture on "new" treatments for chronic inflammatory diseases. New in the sense that he is advocating the use of neurolipids. whats new about it is that he suggest using pig brain. I dont contest that since it does make sense coz brain has a lot of the lipids you need.
Hmmmm... come to think of it the chinese eat lots of brain from animals. I think Indians also eat this delicacy.
Problem is where do you get a good source of the brain, with all the hog raisers using feeds rich in antibiotics and hormones.

Maybe wild boars will be in again.

So pig brain sausages anyone?

Close call

I was at the hospital yesterday. The patient with gastric cancer check himself to the hospital because he was so weak and in pain. His abdomen was so tense, must be due to the tumor obstruction in the rectum. 
 
When I saw him, he was really having a hard time I could see. He hasn't slept for days because of it. I felt so helpless I couldn't do anything for him. I did some body process anyway, and prayed for the best.

This morning, his brother called me and bring me NEWS...

He was sleeping already.

During colonoscopy, they saw the stent that was placed had an obstruction to it, food particles and fibers. So upon clearing it out, he passed all the stools that were there in his colon.\

I'm so happy and relieved to hear the GREAT NEWS!!!

In a jiffy

Last week, I had the opportunity to meet a wonderful and smart lady who unfortunately was diagnosed to have depression.

She graduated from college last year but apparently was already having depression. She was given antidepressants for 6 months but mom noted she was just going "crazier."

I tried to communicate with her, she was either bored or really in a depressed mood, though I do sense she is very smart.

After I tried to pry open her real thoughts and feelings, apparently it boiled down to confusion brought about by the conflicts on her religious beliefs that were inculcated into her during her college days.

So I did Body process, and within 2 minutes, she was already twitching, kicking and arching her back like crazy. The mom who was also there started to cry (dont know why?). In 30 mins, a change started to appear, she started to smile and laugh at the slightest things.

Mom was so happy and commented that it was the first time since last year, she saw her laugh.

I felt humbled that I was given this opportunity to bring this person back to who she really IS.

How can it get better than this?

  

Touching words

I had the pleasure of meeting a 67 year old mother who certainly looked younger than  her age.
She came to me because she had several mass on the pancreas and liver. 
It did looked like she had stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

The family have decided she not undergo biopsy or chemotherapy, however I asked her one question, which was "what do you want to do?" There was a pause for she hadn't made up her mind whether she wanted to do biopsy or not.

I told her that ultimately it must be your decision she is the master of her life not the family members
eventhough they are just looking out for her.

After we had the discussion on what she can do, while making the decision to do biopsy, she made a remark that really touched me.

She said, "I already feel better just talking to you?"

How can it get better than that?

What are the infinite possibilities for her to be healed of this condition?

Agitated

I cant sleep seems like something happening soon I feel like it. I hope I'm wrong

Political unrest leading to Military takeover

I see blood all over.

Is it tonight or just my over active imaginations

ACCESS Energy Transformation

After all the training I have done, I can say without doubt or hesitation, that the BARS Access has really completely changed on only my life and all those around me.

I thank Eva Arnott, for being so kind and generous for helping us achieve where we are now. You are still my mom, EVA! I love you and take care.

Likewise to Gary Douglas, the founder! I'm so blessed. How can it get better than this?

Anal cancer

I recently went to a 80 yr old female who is diagnosed to have anal cancer. She was obviously in pain 24/7 so she is taking morphine 10mg every 4 hours.

I feel so sad for her, I know she can do more . I did some treatment on her and immediately after she was able to eat and felt better.

Apparently, what really made her depressed was the way the doctors broke the news to her. It was like just "a matter of fact" without a hint of compassion, she as just told to go home and wait.

BARS and Access

Its been a hectic week for me. Just had classes for BARS and Access. It was great! I feel revitalized, scrubed, bleached and spanking new!

My energy level is way way up and sleep is great even if it was only a few hours

Even my kids are doing what I'm doing, which is POC and PODing my way to everything

Last phase of his journey

The patient with gastric cancer has now come to the part where there is no turning  back. His cancer has come back with metastasis to the rectum which has obstructed it. A stent had to be placed to relieve the obstruction. Aside from this, pulmonary and hepatic metastasis are also present.

But still.... he is adamant and hoping that chemotherapy might not be the only way out now. I don't know why he is really against it. But I respect his resolve.

However, time is not on his side on this matter anymore.

Healing

I don't know which link to place first, but I think a little backgrounder on the events that led me to write this blog was the front page article in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

I was so amazed and quite happy to see everything that is unfolding. It was last month only, when one of the persons who was at our clinic mentioned this:

1. The Philippines will be the next healing center of the world
   
2. That there will be healing stones that will cause the shift in the Catholic realms

This was what Mr. B forsaw! Oh my God, its really coming true. I was assuming that this will happen maybe 2 years down the line.

I guess not. I just hope, benevolent intentions will overcome all the other intentions that might come up. Fame can cause faltering.

I pray it will not.

I will see that MonteMaria Shrine soon!!!

Patient deluge

Eversince we included BARS access therapy in our program for our patients, we suddenly have seen a jump in the number of patients we are seeing.

This is a testament to the effect and wonders of what BARS can really do to our patients. My praise and admiration to Dave and Claude for their great great work!!!

Patient's concern

The patient with gastric cancer is now more concerned with what will happen to those who he will leave in case he will pass away.

I feel so sad that the reason for his worries are not of self but of those who will left behind. I really admire his altruism.

I wonder how those people who have been dependent on his generosity are feeling. Anxiety, worry or apathy?

Metastasis

Patient with gastric cancer has officially spread to his rectum. I'm so saddened by the turn of events but know we can still do something about it.

Its now a question of synchronicity. Will we have the necessary people to get thnecessar treatment in time.

I am deeply affected with what has happened to him. I know that if there is a lesson to be learned, its me not giving up easily but on the other hand, I must face to the prospect that I can only do so much for a patient.

He will try taking cesium until he decides where to have chemotherapy

Learning BARS

I just learned that the BARS access consciousness therapy people will hold a seminar next year. I'm quite excited to be involved in this, since I really saw what this therapy could do to a lot of people.

I guess this will also be part of the growth that is expected from me, if I really want to expand myself to improve my skills as a medical practitioner.
