A BOY SUFFERING FROM HEPATITIS WITH INFLAMATION OF THE LIVER CURED


TURMERIC PURE POWDER HELPED A BOY SUFFERING FROM HEPATITIS WITH INFLAMATION OF THE LIVER

In 2013, a ten year old boy suffering from hepatitis with bloated stomach due to liver inflammation was brought back home by his parents to Bangas Island of Sulu, Municipality of Haji Panglima-Tahil, with hopelessness to be healed and just waiting for time of death.

The boy was under hospital treatment at PGH in Manila for hepatitis until an operation was proposed in the liver due to inflammation. But since there was no assurance for the boy to survive with this kind of an operation, the parents decided to bring him back home for a peaceful death.

The father of the boy is an imam in that island who was introduced to Mucha Quiling Shim by the Brgy. Captain of Bangas Island of Sulu. The barangay captain and Mucha are good friends and mucha Quiling Shim is a silsilah family friend who visits Fr. Seb and sometimes stays at Harmony village.

When Mucha visited her friend at Bangas Island of Sulu, she saw the boy very weak being carried by his Imam father. She was informed about the helpless predicament of the boy and upon knowing it she immediately offered her 1 bottle pure turmeric powder newly purchased at the Center for Holistic Care.

Mucha sacrificed her personal need for the turmeric out of her deep sympathy to the dying boy.

With deep sense of divine healing, she believed the turmeric can somehow alleviate the suffering of the boy.

Affectionately, she demonstrated how to prepare the turmeric powder as an instant tea to be consumed like water or “agua tiempo” every day. After a few days, she was informed that the boy was better and had became more alive as the swollen stomach started to disappear.

According to her friend Barangay Captain, as the boy keeps on taking the turmeric powder consistently, the more he felt better.

Since they had a lot of wildly growing turmeric at the island, Mucha instructed them how to do extraction of fresh turmeric for regular supply of turmeric tea for the sick boy.

After a few days, Mucha visited the family again and saw the boy completely healed with no more bloated stomach.

Because of this incident of a healing revelation, the village people at Bangas island Sulu are now taking care of their wildly growing turmeric plants for their own regular consumption as medicinal food to prevent  and heal diseases.

BIRARUNDI WILD TOMATO FRUIT JUICE RELIEVED A FARMER SUFFERING FROM URINARY CONSTRICTION


BIRARUNDI WILD TOMATO FRUIT JUICE RELIEVED A FARMER SUFFERING FROM URINARY CONSTRICTION

A farmer beneficiary of Silsilah program on DWC, Mr. Boy Molina, from Zambales, Baluno, Zamboanga City was immediately brought to the Center of Holistic Care for urgent medical assistance in 2010.

They requested to be brought to the hospital. But instead, the farmer was offered to undergo first a natural treatment before hospitalization treatment.

The farmer was experiencing excruciating pain and  difficulty to urinate when brought to the Center for Holistic Care. At that time, newly prepared birarundi juice was available that was immediately given to  him to consume with foot reflex treatment.

This immediately pacified the pain and was able to release a good urinary discharge. He felt better and decided not to be brought to the hospital anymore.

The farmer went back home to the mountain and was advised to continue drinking birarundi juice and to regularly drink tea decoction of the cogon root with pounded fresh turmeric rhizome. Also he was advised to avoid oily food, too much sweet and too much salt, food with additives or preservatives.

After six to seven months, the farmer went back to harmony village for a visit. He had  gained good body constituency with healthy stamina ready to serve as a local leader to promote dialogue with creation for harmony and peace.

THE FRUIT OF LIFE

Caranda native berry, builds a healthy blood with a good body constituency to gain more energy to fight stress

During her recovery stage, she did a conscious self-healing home care regimen with native food supplement such as the carranda native berry. Dr. Martinez advised that rose should take a lot of native fruit specially the berry fruit to establish good blood and good heart for a strong body resistance.

This fruit was wildly growing in front of the resident compound of the Pecson family located at Zamboanga City.

The family was giving the fruit for free to help a cancer patient survive. This was taken on a daily basis as juice at least in a month.

This was helping Rose to gain better body constituency that made her gain good strength to work again with a sustained balance maintenance in the most natural way.

Finally in February 2017, Makati Medical hospital declared negative cancer cells on her general health status based on the result of the entire test conducted like MRI, bone scan and blood test.

Today she is back to work and enjoying a healthy life-style from simple living consistently relying on native food and herbs to build a healthy stamina for a city life to sustain and avoid recurrence of cancer cells.

A TASTE OF A WILD APPETIZER

Tagbak wild ginger fruits stop vomiting caused by radiation and induced appetite to eat again

Because of profuse bleeding, my sister Rose was brought to the hospital for check-up. It was found out that cancer cells did not spread and contained only at the urinary bladder. She was given a minor operation with radiation treatment.

But every time she underwent a radiation therapy she would keep on vomiting and could hardly eat.

A holistic nutrition doctor, Dr. Bernie Martinez, advised to give her sweet and sour fruit to stop vomiting and would induce her appetite. A wild fruit like the passion fruit is the preference. But since this was not available at that time in the mountain of Baluno, Zamboanga City, I opted to purchase from the farmers the wild ginger fruit called Tagbak that has a taste like passion fruit.

Tagbak wild ginger fruit was given for her to chew and swallow the sweet and sour tasting seeds every time she underwent radiation therapy and during meal time.

This immediately stopped her vomiting and was able to gain appetite to eat.

She continued her natural healing therapy although she still gets radiation therapy that ended in one month.
