I include here, in chronological order, E's condition from 4 to 13 April as reported by volunteers from CSX (Chang Shen Xue - 长生学) and WC, an NPC support group member.
Apr 4, Sun - Sms from WC : E is in pain. K thinks he can’t go in a taxi.
(Note : I had actually planned for E to receive chakra healing therapy at Kim Mui Huay Kuan from 4 to 8 April, 5 continuous days of therapy, as our teachers would be present. I had felt that with many years of experience each, it would be a good opportunity for E to make progress.)
After much persuasion from WC, K (E's mum) agreed to bring him for chakra adjustment therapy.
Apr 6, Tue -
4 CSX teachers from Taiwan + a couple of volunteers
Mr W, our principal teacher, gave him therapy as well while he was being transferred to the ambulance to be sent home.
More than an hour of chakra adjustment therapy
K brought E to Kim Mui Huay Kuan where CSX was conducting training for new students.
E was in a lot of pain and we had much trouble transferring him from the front passenger seat of the taxi to his wheelchair.
His skin had a tinge of yellow as compared to 24 Mar when he was at Gleneagles. He also had red spots on his head (rashes-?).
K mentioned that E started having fever in the morning.
E had to be treated while seated on his wheelchair.
2 CSX teachers from Taiwan attended to him.
Initially, E was very uncomfortable and kept asking to be sent home. 2 more CSX teachers from Taiwan were requested to attend to him and they were joined by a couple of CSX volunteers.
His condition stabilised and he fell asleep on the wheelchair. After more than an hour of therapy, he was sent home by ambulance.
Sms from WC : K said doc gave E 2 weeks.
Apr 7, Wed -
CSX volunteers : 3
About 2 hours of chakra adjustment therapy
They reported that he was fine.
Sms fr WC : TCM Dr Long saw E. Said E has a clear mind, his heart and lungs are good, so he still has a chance.
Sms fr WC : E sat on wheelchair. He could carry a packet of ensure milk in his hands and drink.
Sms fr WC : E wants to do chakra adjustment therapy although he could not explain why. Said his fever was brought down by chakra adjustment.
Apr 8, Thu -
CSX volunteers : 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon
About 2 hours of chakra adjustment therapy in the morning and more than 1 hour in the afternoon.
When the volunteers arrived in the morning, E was already seated on the wheelchair, and fed himself breakfast at the table. He could wheel himself around on his wheelchair.
Chakra adjustment therapy was done on him while he was on the wheelchair and he kept dozing off. After about an hour on the wheelchair, he awoke and requested to be transferred to bed, where he soon fell asleep while the therapy progressed.
The therapy session was about to be wrapped up when one of E's family friends came and K told the volunteers that they were bringing E for some bio-----(?) treatment.
E was fine throughout and did not complain of pain.
The afternoon volunteers said E reached home after 3pm. They did chakra adjustment for him while he was lying in bed and did not notice anything unusual about him.
Sms fr WC : E is in good spirits today.
Apr 9, Fri -
CSX volunteers : 2 started at 9.30am and were to be relieved by another pair at 11am.
The first pair started at 9.30am and the second pair was requested to go over earlier at 10+am. The whole team continued till about 12+.
When the first pair arrived, E was lying in bed and did not seem to be in good spirits.
He had a big red patch on his left hip.
Throughout, he could not fall into deep sleep and constantly complained of pain on his right ribcage and especially on his right lower leg and sole of his right foot. K switched on the aircon as E was perspiring and also she was concerned about the red spots on his head.
The second pair was scheduled to take over at about 11am, but had been requested to go over earlier to help with the other chakra points, spinal column and vital organ as E was in a lot of pain and the first pair had to help E manage his pain.
E’s pain was so intense that he even felt the pain when the energy flowed through him during the chakra adjustment. Also, his heart was racing and he was breathless.
The volunteers stopped at his request, and he was really down.
He had not complained of pain the day before, and he said that the pain was very mild the day before, but it was very severe then, about the same level as on 6 Apr.
He said it was because of the wheelchair, probably meaning the transfer between wheelchair and car. K requested for break from chakra adjustment therapy on Saturday and Sunday.
Sms fr WC : E is ok and in good spirits. He has settled down. He knew the pain is due to moving him on Thursday. Rash on head subsided.
Sms fr K : E is ok now, but still in pain.
K had requested for a break from chakra adjustment therapy for Saturday and Sunday.
Apr 11, Sun -
Sms fr K fwded by WC : K had brought E to Malacca today for TCM treatment as she said that E was in a lot of pain these past few days, and didn’t really want to eat.
Apr 13, Tue
Sms fr K : E’s pain has improved slightly and he does not need much pain killer. However, his red blood cell and platelet count is still quite low.
I understood that he had gone for blood transfusion while in Malacca.
Reflection :
Here are some of my thoughts on E's case.
1. As a cancer patient myself, I must admit that I failed to comprehend the magnitude of E's pain. As I was not with E all the time, I had to depend on K to provide me with updated and detailed information of his condition. However, I understand K's desperation and state of stress and confusion her mind is in, so it would be reasonable to assume that K may not have been able to convey the necessary information concerning his mobility and transfers in relation to his pain level.
2. It did not occur to me then, that the coordinator might have a list of volunteers that we could call on for help. It was a coincidence that the coordinator was also involved in organising the April 3 - 8 training class as well as helping young cancer patients in KKH. Initially, there was not enough volunteers to provide E with daily therapy.
With my limited information and resources, I had then requested K to bring E down to the adjustment centre in Kg Senang on 31 Mar, Wednesday, and subsequently to the training centre at Kim Mui Huay Kuan on 4 - 8 April. This request was made as I felt E would have a better chance where we have more experienced volunteers at Kg Senang, and at the training centre, where our teachers are available. I had also hope that E could have received 5 straight days of therapy from the teachers which would be a great benefit to him. For transportation, I had obtained information on a private ambulance that provided 2-way transfer at a very reasonable rate.
However, K only managed to bring E down on 6 April after much persuasion from WC. Now, I realised that it could be K knew it would not be easy to move E by car, but she did not specifically mention this problem to me. In fact, she told me that E could sit in a car with the seat reclined.
Nevertheless, even with whatever information and resources I had then, I felt and still feel that WC and I have done our best, especially WC, and that whatever decisions we have made or course of action we have chosen, they were deemed to be the best at that time and taken with E's interest at heart.
From E's case, every obstacle we came across and every step we took is knowledge and experience gained.

Helping E, NPC (nasopharyngeal cancer) patient
E is a 15 year-old (Indonesian Chinese boy) npc patient and the cancer has spread to his bones He was introduced to the NPC support during the Sentosa outing on Mar 23 by LO, the new leader of TRC since HH's passing.
WC is an active member of NOC support group and this is her email on her first visit to see him :
"I saw E on 15 March for the first time. His condition was very bad. He could not move his right side body due to pain on the bones. He was admitted (to Gleneagles Hospital) that night. 16 March, he started on RT on the bones. He was discharged on 26 March. During this period, he was given RT on the NPC to control his nose bleeding."
E's condition according to WC :
WC's email on 22 Mar :
"I visited E, the 15 year old boy in Gleneagle last sat and sun. I made him vege/fruit juice and also potato + cauliflower puree. He ate it. I was so glad. I taught the mother K to make the puree. I make a portion of the vege/fruit juice today, and my colleague will bring it to him when she knocks off at 3. 30 pm."
"E started on radiation on his bones from 16 Mar for 12 times at Gleneagle. He is bedridden and on morphine to control his pain."
"I spoke to K last sat (20Mar). She told me an NPC spread to bone survivor visited E. His name is RS. I was delighted. K showed me the recipe he gave. Almost the same as mine, except that he is more "guru" than me.
"
WC's email on 25 March :
I could not remember whether WC contacted me on Sunday (21 Mar) or Monday (22 Mar), asking if chakra adjustment could help relieve pain. I said it was possible and got in touch with J, volunteer coordinator and a senior, of the chakra adjustment volunteer group, and he went down on Monday to help E.
As of 1st April, if I am not mistaken, E has received at least 5 sessions of chakra adjustment.
E is only 15 and his condition spurred all of us to rally round to help him and his mother with whatever knowledge and experience we have. He is very weak and fragile and very thin and could not sit up for long.
WC and her NPC support group are taking care of his diet and nutrition, and members of the chakra adjustment volunteer group are providing him therapy healing.
We are doing our best to help him in his progress, and are not taking chances and anything that will hamper his progress or that will worsen his condition, we tried our best to remove it. Like telling his father, through his mum that he should not smoke in the house. We also took issue with his bed. That's right fengshui.
His bedhead was facing a window and the other end was facing the door. All I know is that it is an energy-draining position, but my friend said it is a 'coffin' position. So my friend roped in her friend, who has fengshui knowledge for help. His mum has been advised to shift his bed and certain pieces of furniture in the house.
Part of WC's email on 30 Mar :
"K kept asking me, why his condition did not imrpove, despite heeding the doctor's advice. One lady at Gleneagles commented that K delayed the treatment. So K felt so guilty and kept asking me. I could not answer her. But I told her to ignore what that lady said, because she did not know what E has gone thru. K says she will not give up hope. The report just says, progression of spread, to be monitored. I know the agony - the decision making, going thru the pains, and now seeing worse condition, the disappointment, despair, helplessness, etc. I could only console her that there is no absolute right or wrong. We just have to move on. Since the medical option is not working, we will look to food therapy, which I think R can help. The Chakra healing will help to relieve the symptoms and give him some comfort, but she will have to look for some concrete ways to counter the fast growing cancer spread. I offer no solution. I was at a loss. The responsibility is so heavy. I was not sure if I had done the right thing. When I gave her the juice, I let the mother feed him. I was glad to see he can accept my food. I think this is important. I don't dare to feed him in case anything goes wrong. As I went home on sunday night, I also asked myself if I'm doing the right thing. And I felt so stressed up, being so helpless."
When a child becomes so sick, his doctor has rated his case as 'no cure', usually it is the parents, especially the mother, who is suffering more. The decisions she has to make on his behalf, hoping that every single one she made is right, and the overload of information she has to handle are enough to floor anybody. She can only stand by, watching her son suffer, but unable to share in his suffering and pain. It is a parent's nightmare.
With our combined efforts, we hope that E continues to make progress.
Today, 1 Apr, E has gone for a check-up but has to be warded for blood transfusion as his bloodcount was very low.
WC is an active member of NOC support group and this is her email on her first visit to see him :
"I saw E on 15 March for the first time. His condition was very bad. He could not move his right side body due to pain on the bones. He was admitted (to Gleneagles Hospital) that night. 16 March, he started on RT on the bones. He was discharged on 26 March. During this period, he was given RT on the NPC to control his nose bleeding."
E's condition according to WC :
"K (E's mum) showed me E's medical reports last night. E was diagnosed with stage 3 NPC by Dr S in Sep 2009. Because he is a junior, so he had chemo in KK hospital. 4 cycles of chemo, cisplatin + 5FU + 3 other drugs. The report stated tumour remained unchanged after chemo. That means, he did not respond well to chemo. At the end of chemo in Dec, his cancer spread to bone. He was scheduled to start his RT 33 rounds in NCC from 5 Jan. E read about Chemo and RT in the internet and decided to stop treatment after 7 rounds of RT. His mother went along with his wish. She also felt that he should be treated for his bone
cancer spread instead of just doing RT for his NPC."
cancer spread instead of just doing RT for his NPC."
"Having stopped RT and CT, she brought E back to Indonesia and saw TCM who guaranteed her 99% of cure. After one month, there was not much improvement. In Feb 2010, she brought E to Gleneagles Hospital to see Dr KW for a second opinion. The cancer is spreading fast to the bones, and he is having pain. He did chemo."
WC's email on 22 Mar :
"I visited E, the 15 year old boy in Gleneagle last sat and sun. I made him vege/fruit juice and also potato + cauliflower puree. He ate it. I was so glad. I taught the mother K to make the puree. I make a portion of the vege/fruit juice today, and my colleague will bring it to him when she knocks off at 3. 30 pm."
"E started on radiation on his bones from 16 Mar for 12 times at Gleneagle. He is bedridden and on morphine to control his pain."
"I spoke to K last sat (20Mar). She told me an NPC spread to bone survivor visited E. His name is RS. I was delighted. K showed me the recipe he gave. Almost the same as mine, except that he is more "guru" than me.
" I called R on sat night. He was diagnosed in March 2005, stage 1, and hence had RT only. In 2007, he had a relapse, stage 1. As chemo is for stage 2 and above, he was left with the option of surgery, since he could not tahan another round of RT. In 2008, his cancer spread to the bones. Quite a number of location is affected, and doctors pronounced no cure for him. He made the doctor wrote a statement on that. He is now on palliative care. He searched and reflected on the cause of cancer, and decided to change his diet and lifestyle. He is now on oral chemo everyday for life. He is now a volunteer in 365 cancer society. He told me this is founded by Billly Wang. When I checked this with J (CCK), who is also a volunteer there, she said 365 is trying to break clean from Billy Wang, cos the latter started his own group."
"Anyway, R says he is the key person for NPC contact in 365. I asked if he has heard of the NPC support group, he said NO. I asked if he would like to bring his patients to join our support group, he said he would have to refer to his society. I stopped there. I did not want this issue to turn political. We are not trying to grab his patients. We want to keep clean of political and commercial interests. On a gentleman spirit, I invited him to join our support group meeting. He can see for himself if he would like to expose his patients under his care to have more friends.""R sounded enthusiastic to speak to me. I told him I was very happy to know there is a survivor of such case, which doctors have given up hope. He sounded energetic, talking and talking for almost one hour. From what he said, I think he is a sensible counsellor. He calls his remedy - "diet therapy" for cancer patients. Almost the same as what J, and some of us are doing."
WC's email on 25 March :
"Yesterday (24 Mar - Wednesday), I visited E at Gleneagles. His condition improved a lot. He could even turned his body and rest on his right arm! How amazing! He could talk and lift both hands. But he said his hands were weak. I told him to exercise his fingers and hands to regain the energy."
"Last sunday (21 Mar), he was in great pain and could not move his body. He asked, how long is this going to be? When is this going to end? Yes, I asked those same questions 4.5 years ago."
"I could only help in his diet, but not his pain."
"I could not remember whether it was sunday night or monday. I flipped the newspaper or magazine, and the words "chakra healing" flashed across. I thought of (a friend) and immediately I asked for her help. She conveyed to her senior, J and eventually, somebody (J himself) from her chakra healing group went to help E. K was so grateful. That was monday."

Chakra healing
Today is the third time I have volunteered for chakra healing therapy at Kg Senang. I find it rewarding and meaningful that with a little time and hardly any effort, I could be doing something so useful as helping others with their health.
Chakra healing, or longevitology, uses the human body to receive energy from the universe. For those of us who have had our chakras opened, our bodies are like the conductors receiving the energy from the universe and passing it to others.
Excerpt from our handbook :
When universal energy enters our body, it energizes every cell, enabling every organ to function normally. "Chi" and blood flow smoothly and good health is achieved. From the oriental medicine perspective, "illnesses" mostly derive from the maladjustment of "chi" and blood. This is similar to the occidental medical approach of using metabolism and circulation to discuss health. Other causes of diseases are germs and viruses. These diseases will disappear naturally following the active flow of "chi" and blood, the improvement of metabolism and circulation, the increase of antibodies, and the enhancement of the immune system in the body. The toxins of disease are expelled by the metabolic system of the body itself: therefore, the person making the adjustment (healing), and the person receiving the adjustment will not contract each other's disease. This is the reason that "Longevitology" can help both oneself and others.
As it uses energy from the universe, it should not be affected by racial and religious divide. However, we have been advised to do the adjustment for those who need and are receptive to being adjusted.
During the training, I was told that it is especially helpful for cancer patients undergoing chemo. Those who received adjustment apparently had little or no side-effects from chemo.
During adjustment, there is only slight contact between our hands and the person receiving adjustment. In the case of sensitive areas or doing it for people of the opposite sex, adjustment can be done at a distance of a couple of inches away, without any body contact at all.
We have volunteers who go to hospitals, nursing homes and even to the homes of people who are house-bound to do the adjustment. Anybody wishing to receive adjustment can refer to the website for contact information.

Chakra healing (爱心双手长生学)
I have just completed a six-night training on chakra healing. I have six of my 7 chakra points opened. The last point, Chakra point No. 1 is at a very inconvenient location and is never used in chakra healing by longevitology.
The training is free and all that is asked of us is that we volunteer our services to help others with their health.
This is the Singapore website.
There are two centres in Singapore where therapy is given free by volunteers. Chakra healing therapy or zhang shen xue (长生学) as it is known to the two centres, are only using the venues for its therapy sessions, so it is advisable to call first, in case the centre is closed due to holiday or other activities. Try to go 1 hour before the closing time to give allowance for waiting and therapy.
1. Kampung Senang
Blk 106 Aljunied Crescent
Time : every Wednesday, 10am to 12pm
every Sunday, 1pm to 3pm
Tel : 67498509
2. Poh Ern Shih
No. 9 Chwee Chian Road
Time : every Sunday, 2pm to 4pm
Tel : 64743926
When I went home after the first day of training on 6 Sept, Sunday, none of my kids wanted to be my guinea pig, so I grabbed my puppy and practised on her. My puppy has problems with her right eye, digestion and right rear kneecap. After I 'treated' her tummy, her appetite seemed to have improved.
I was not aware that we could actually used our techniques on animals and plants as well until I collected our training materials on the second day.
I had wanted to bring my youngest along as it is the school holidays and she is 14, which is the minimum required age. But she told me that "I don't believe and I am not interested, so there is no point for me to go". Ironically, on the second night, she became my first human patient or guinea pig.
She sprained her right elbow during gymnastic training in school. I told her, "just nice, let me treat it for you", and she went, "I don't want you to touch me". Oh, she ought to know this mummy doesn't give up easily. I made her lie down comfortably and treated her elbow for her. After that, she was all smiles and said she felt better and could move her elbow slightly. I have been treating her elbow for the past few days, and on Wednesday, her coach called to ask about her elbow and whether she had been to a doctor. I overheard her telling him that she is much better, elbow is not swollen and she had not been to a doctor.
Chakra healing involves harnessing universal energy to balance our system and repair our cells. It is supposed to be able to correct most health problems.
