Initial Greetings
Assalamualaikum and a good day to my friend and everyone of us

This topic will mainly relate to alternative breast cancer treatment
In specific the title I am going to present is “Majority of Malay Breast Cancer Patients used Alternative Medication”
4
Alternative Medications
5
Reason for Alternative Medications
Until today, there is no one single cure method to fight cancer
Thus, we must seek an alternative or other means to recover beside conventional treatment which is done by surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy or hormone therapy
6
Conventional Treatment Method
• Also called radio therapy (costly than chemo)
• Attack static cancer cells on bones, inside organ and tissues
• Given only after chemo and radiation
• To repair damage cells (implantation)
• Putting liquid into patients veins
• Attack cancer cells in blood stream
• Eg. Mastectomy (full removal)
• Removal of breast and under armpit thyroid gland
Surgery Chemo Therapy
Radiation
Hormone
Therapy

Facts & Findings
A recent study conducted by PPUKM and HKL unit showed that a majority of Malay breast cancer survivors used alternative medication (Abdul Ghani Nasir, 2012)
The graph shown here on the white board has been extracted from the data made by the previous PPUKM and HKL team on 116 Malay breast cancer patients.(sources inferred from the article)

(A) Modern Alternative Method
Modern alternative medicine usually exists in processed form
Examples: tablets, capsules, pastilles, powder and liquids
Usually consumed orally Also taken by injections Seldom administered rectally (not like
drugs)

Modern Alternative Method

1. Multivitamins Recognized under UN Codex as food (Wikipedia, 2013) Not drugs, herbs or hormones It is a dietary supplement Combination of more than 3 vitamins Contains micronutrient - vitamins and dietary minerals Eg. Vitamins - A, E, D, and Beta Carotena Eg. Mineral - calcium is for good for bones (in metastatic
bone cancer case) Nutrition experts advise to take multivitamins in the form
of raw, healthy and balance diet (DuPree, 2012) Through correct daily food intake – mostly veges and fruits However, tablet is recommended for instant effect to those
who have very poor nutrients

2. Spirulina Spirulina grows in alkaline warm water lakes (Veracity, 2005) The reason our body is sick and infected is because we have too
much acid inside our body (healthy advice for pH is at 7.35) Too much acid is a sign of toxicity - will release free radicals Act as antioxidants – trap free radicals inside blood Spirulina contains vitamins, minerals and enzymes Promote DNA repair – after Chemotherapy and Radiation Effect It boosts immune system Spirulina stimulates natural killer cells Spirulina has anti cancer and other anti-virals effect Detoxify bloods Maintain energy level by regulating blood sugar levels Others which is equivalent to spirulina is blue green algae and
chlorella

3. Vitamin C Other name is ascorbic acid Vitamin C can be found in many fruits eg. oranges, apple,
strawbery, redbery, bluebery, cranbery, all the beries family (Ever, 2012)
Anti oxidants which attract free radicals It can do cleansing for the body system by cleaning blood
system (blood detoxification) It clears blockage of blood vessels eg. blood clot, this
what makes us unhealthy and sick Healthy blood function will increase immune system Act as antibody because it has anti cancer ingredients This is highlighted according to the study (result which is
shown by the patients preferences)

(B) Traditional or Ancient Method Usually exist in fresh form – like leaves & roots
(Traditional Herbs – usually not in process form) To chew, apply on skins, crush or blend and mix
with drink as a healing beverage It is found that foods and herbs that contain
high level of chlorophyll show pharmacological evidence of cancer prevention (Veracity, 2005)
Rumput jarum emas, belalai gajah, and daun duri tujuh were previously used examples by our ancestor to treat cancer
28
Traditional/Ancient Method

i. Rumput Jarum Emas
[Slide on Rumput Emas] + explanation Scientific name is Striga Asiatica Exists in 4 colours yellow, pinkish red, white purple flower

ii. Tumeric (Curcuma Longa)
The only herbs compound known that can differentiate good cells and bad cell (cancer cell)
Recent studies found that turmeric contains curcumin (Friend2Humanity, 2009)
Curcumin is the yellow pigment It attacks only cancer cells and produce cell
death to cancer This process is called apoptosis It also promotes health to noncancerous cells It can also do cell transcriptions (turning bad
cells into good cells)

Conclusion In conclusion, to fight any disease, we must first understand the
disease very well. Once we comprehend, then it is a little easier for us to battle the disease
Cancer is a very chronic, most ingenious and if not taken care off, will be a deadly disease
Doctors are only trained to treat sick patients and diseases but not trained in dietary nutrition or healthy food intake and how the food can positively or negatively affect our body structure (metabolism effect)
Nutrition is the other field of expertise. It is made known as a fact by nutritionist that the fastest and quickest way to affect our biochemistry or body molecular structure is by food intake (Block, 2009)

Summary Good food intake will bring you well and bad
food intake will bring you hell Good food have 1 thing in common; mostly all of
them are naturally alkali For this reason, I have summed up alternative
medications to complement the standard medication for breast cancer treatment
The truth is sometimes the cure is just in front of our very own eyes and the real truth is you always have to search for it
