My Story - Origin of my Health's Passion


What I Went Through

My passion in health originates from my humble wish to free myself from the torture of illness.  I was tortured by asthma symptoms since young.  Whenever I caught a minor illness such as cold, flu, cough, fever, or even sore throat, my asthma symptoms will follow within a day or two, and it often lasts for at least a week!  For those who also have asthma issue, I am sure you understand how suffering it is when asthma strikes.  It is so hard to breath, your entire body is so weak and you feel like you're going to die from suffocation.  For my case, vomiting and coughing adds on to make the condition worse.  I also faint easily.  My asthma symptoms were really bad enough to made me (still a primary school kid at that time) give up on the "tasty" food and drinks, which I was told (I've seek medical aid from various eastern & western doctors) would trigger or worsen my asthma condition.  Some of the forbidden food and drinks that I was told to avoid are as follows:
1. Any food related to chicken
2. Seafood
3. Hot and spicy food
4. Deep fried and stir fried food
5. Any food with chicken egg content
6. Soft drinks & iced drinks
7. Cold food such as ice cream
8. Fruits such as oranges, grapes, banana and a few other fruits that are classified as having "cold" element
9. Chrysanthemum tea and even some vegetables, nuts and mushrooms

Just from the generalized list above, I am sure that many people would give up on Eastern medication straight away.  Not because it is not effective, but because they cannot eat many "tasty" food and drinks.  Imaging going to a restaurant, open up its menu, and 90% of the food and drinks listed contain ingredients that you are forbidden to take.  Would you give up taking all the above forbidden food for the sake of your health?  I struggled on giving up on those food at first, but the torture of asthma symptoms made me force myself to avoid all the food and drinks above.  Often, my mother would say to me, "go ahead and take a bite, just eat a little bit won't be enough to make you sick".  It pains my mother's heart to see me restricting myself from taking so many types of food and drinks.  Despite the temptation, I insisted on not taking those forbidden food and drinks.  Of course, I was still a kid at that time, I can refrain myself from almost all the food and drinks, except for ice cream (I will occasionally secretly buy ice cream to eat) and soft drinks (I managed to restrict myself to only drink soft drinks during Chinese New Year).  I kinda came out with my own method of minimizing the ill effect of taking these 2 forbidden food & drink.  It doesn't actually work of course, but at least it is good enough to prevent me from getting sick in short term.

Of course, for those who ONLY look for western doctor's medical advice in the 80s or 90s, you most likely wouldn't know any of the above because western medication do not include the effect of food in their research.  Apart from, ice cold food and drinks, and allergic food if any, the doctor would told you that you can eat almost everything else.  From my experience, eastern doctors would tell you that asthma is curable as long as you take their prescriptions and refrain yourself from taking the forbidden food & drinks.  Western doctors, on the other hand, would tell you that asthma is incurable, if it stays with you after the age of 18, it stays with you forever.  If you were given a choice here, would you rather choose to take the Eastern doctors' treatments or would you rather choose to take in the Western doctors' treatment?  The former has a chance to cure your disease forever, while the later requires you to bet your chances at the age of 18.  Nowadays, eastern medication are getting more acknowledgements so a lot of clinics and even hospitals practices both to help to improve their success rate in curing patients.

The Choice I Made

I was still very young at that time, but still, I rather go for something that has a way to cure me instead of betting my health on luck!  Regardless of their results, I found both Eastern and Western medication treatments to be fascinating.  Eastern medication wisdom allows the doctors to diagnose a patient's root of illnesses via reading of pulse.  Although their medicine are often very bitter, takes time to prepare and looks scary, it does works really well slowly.  The "slow" part of eastern medicine made it somewhat less popular especially in today's society where time is never enough, but they are undoubtedly effective.  I found out a bit later that "fast" alternative are also available in Eastern medicine too, but many doctors would avoid it because it mainly works as symptoms suppressors.  As for Western medication, they are superior in terms of speed, but they are also famous for having side effects, and these side effects are the main reason why I chose to avoid western medication at all costs.  Nowadays, many doctors already combined the knowledge from both eastern and western medication, making their treatment more and more acknowledged by the pubic.  I admit that I am anti-western medication due to the fact that they are synthetically made and are famous for their side effects, but I do acknowledge western medical treatment's superiority in surgery and emergency rescue.  My health was already in a very terrible state, so I really do not want to add on extra risks by taking medicine that cannot cure me, but will give me other health issues in the future.  At that age, all that I could think of is, "medicine is supposed to make me healthy, not making me feel good now and giving me more health issues later".  If you are a chronic disease patient who has been taking western medication for a long period of time, I am sure that you are given a drug for controlling your disease and a few other drugs to help you to minimize the side effect of the main drug.  Do you really think that just keeping the disease under control is good for your health?  I made a choice to regain my health.  If health is what you are seeking, stop at nothing to improve your health knowledge because ultimately, your body is the only real expert who can truly restore your health.

Some Interesting Things I Learnt from my Asthma

I believe everyone who has had an illness for over a few years would came out with a few of their personal "secret techniques" to handle or suppress the illness using some very natural means.  I too have some of these techniques up my sleeves.
1. 100% Natural Coughing Suppression Method - This is a self-invented technique, totally natural means.  All you need to do is just control your breathing when you are about to cough.  Initially I was really proud of this technique because it is truly 100% natural (only make use of breathing rhythm), and I successfully suppressed my coughing problem during asthma, making it slightly less suffering.  I even shared it with my sister who also has asthma problem.  Good thing she couldn't learn it as this 100% natural coughing suppressing method, which I thought must be the best healthy method to control coughing, turns out to be something that is actually bad for health.  The Chinese Physician explained to me that I shouldn't suppress my cough because my lung triggers the cough to try to get rid of phlegm and some other wastes.  Suppressing it means, the phlegm and wastes will continue to accumulate in my lung.  If I am lucky, my lung can get rid of them once my health is better, otherwise, my health condition and cough could get even worse next time.
2. Reducing vomit urges with acupressure massage technique - Vomiting is another torturing issue that I have to face during asthma attack.  Whatever I eat, I will vomit, be it rice, porridge, noodles, vermicelli, vegetable, meat, buns, bread, biscuits, oats, cereals, etc, and sometimes I will vomit even if I didn't eat anything.  The Chinese Physician pitied me, so he taught me a simple acupressure massage technique that will help to prevent or at least ease my vomit urges, to allow me to eat my meals more comfortably.  It is very useful, very effective, very easy to perform and again, it is a 100% natural method.  Of course, it cannot 100% suppress the vomit urge, because if the vomit urge is too strong, you'll still vomit a little.
3. Eating ice cream or ice cold drinks without triggering my asthma - This is another 100% natural method that I thought of myself.  All you need is warm water.  The simple logic behind it is, if it's the "coldness" of the food that trigger my asthma, all I need to do is to warm them up when they reached my stomach.  Not a bad idea from a kid, right?  This method actually worked quite well.  I usually get sick easily (within 1-2 days) after eating ice cream or taking ice cold drink.  However, if I would drink 1 to 2 glass of warm water right after I finish the ice cream or ice cold drink, I will be fine for weeks.  This method worked quite well.  If I use this method too frequently, my mom could tell that I had taken ice cream from my yellowish facial appearance.
4. Drinking soft drink without triggering my asthma - I dare not drink cold soft drink as that could trigger my coughing within hours.  So you can imagine how bad for health are they and also how weak my body was at that time.  I can only limit myself to 1 can of soft drink per day and I will need to drink plenty of plain water as soon as possible after that.  Again, drinking water is another 100% natural method, and it successfully allows me to drink soft drink without triggering my asthma.  Brilliant idea?  Not at all.  The ill effects do not burst out, but it accumulates inside.  This could lead to a more severe attack in the future.

The MOST important lesson that I learnt here is that, "While you don't understand how your body works or what is the real culprit that triggered your "sick" symptoms, even if you are doing something 100% natural that successfully suppress/control the symptoms or made you feel good, it could be doing you more harm than good".  Experience is not everything, it could be misleading without proper knowledge!

My Gratitude to my Saviors

As I grow older, I started to develop an interest on anything related to health.  The question, "how can I become healthy", was not really answered by any doctors that I have been to, so I am always interested in subjects that teaches people how to become healthy.  I am really grateful to my first savior, the Eastern doctor, "Dr. Yong, an acupuncturist in Miri", who successfully helped me to reduce the seriousness of my asthma condition.  Without him, my asthma condition wouldn't allow me the chance to go to UK to continue with my studies.  My asthma was kinda under control after taking medicine prescribed by Dr. Yong.  Usually, when my asthma strike, I wouldn't be able to walk more than 2 steps, literally 2 steps, without squatting down to take a couple minutes' break.  After taking Dr. Yong prescribed medicine for a few times (after roughly 3-4 asthma attacks), I was able to walk around more normally.  I could take more steps before I need to squad down to take a break.  My asthma also attacked less frequently.  By the time I was studying in university, when my asthma attacked, it felt as if I was short of breath after doing some really aggressive sports, but at least I still have energy to walk around to do simple stuffs such as taking a quick shower, and cooking instant noodle or porridge to eat.  So I am truly grateful to Dr. Yong for improving my asthma condition.  He is also the one who taught me the acupressure technique to reduce vomit urges and the one who told me not to suppress my coughing.  If my asthma condition did not improve so much, I doubt that I will be able to go to England to study my Degree.

According to the few western doctors that I visited, if my asthma is not gone by the age of 18, it will stick with me forever.  I do not want to believe that my asthma will stay with me forever, so I continued to look for ways to completely cure my asthma even though I am already in my twenties.  I just don't want to give up on my health.  When I came back to Malaysia after I have completed my studies in UK, I met my second savior, my Guasa Therapy master, "Mr. Alex Wang", who not only cured my asthma problem completely, but also taught me about the holistic health concept, Molecular Reform Therapy (MRT) and Guasa Therapy, which he used to cure me.  I was really skeptical at first, because I've been to so many doctors and the best I get was only "improved condition".  MRT was something that is completely alien to me at that time, so I wasn't sure whether it could help or not.  As for Guasa Therapy, I have heard of it before, but I only know of it as a form of massage treatment like foot reflexology.  So my first impression of these two therapies aren't really anywhere near good.  To make things worse, it is taught by an MLM company.  However, with the mind set, "what is there to lose?", I gave it a try.

I was in "not sick" condition  when I tried out Guasa Therapy, so I wasn't expecting much from it.  During the therapy, my guasa master told me that my lung has an internal injury, that's why my asthma can never recover.  Right after the therapy, he asked me to do a simple test, go down one floor and run all the way up.  I was impressed that my breathing was more normal than when I walked up the stairs earlier.  It felt really good, but I didn't know whether it is really working in curing my asthma or not until I caught some minor illnesses a few months later.  To my surprise, my asthma didn't attack at all and for the very first time in my life, while I was "sick", I don't feel sick at all.  In the past, minor illnesses such as cold, flu and fever is a "huge" illness for me.  I would feel so sick and weak as if I was struck by some life-threatening illnesses.  It is really amazing to feel so energetic while I was sick, so I started to seriously learn more about these two therapies.  I am truly very very grateful to my Guasa master, Mr. Alex Wang, and my college, Mr. Ling Ching Wei, who introduced me to these two wonderful health therapies.

Just as the famous saying, "action speaks louder than words", there are no words that could represent my gratitude to my saviors, so instead of just thanking them in words, I've decided to thank them through action.  Hence I am following their footsteps to help more people to regain health.

Your Health, Your Choice!

My interest in these two therapies, "Guasa Therapy" and "Molecular Reform Therapy", grew exponentially after I get to know them better.  Therefore, as an utmost form of gratitude, I would like to introduce these two therapies to the world to help more people to truly regain their health.  Before learning about these two therapies, it is better to gain a bit of knowledge about our body first.  If you don't even know how your body works, you won't know how to make it healthy.

Health is our greatest wealth asset, so treasure it well so that you can truly enjoy life.  You always have these two choices:
1. Live healthily until the second you leave this world
2. Live with illnesses or diseases, believing in the common beliefs, "you are supposed to be sick when you are old", and "you are destined to be tortured by illnesses/diseases before you leave this world"

We all know that we MUST go through 'birth', 'ageing', 'sickness' and 'death' in our life, but most of us didn't know that we ARE supposed to age till death without sickness.  Due to the fact that most people are unhealthy, the abnormal has become the norm.  When it comes to health, we shouldn't be following the footsteps of the majority.


Your health is determined by your choice.  ONLY you, yourself, can help you to regain your own health.  If you truly wish to be healthy, Molecular Reform Therapy, is a health knowledge that you MUST learn and understand.  Hope that my sharing will be able to open up a whole new path in your quest for health!  Always stay open minded and do not ever jump to conclusion just because you feel that you already know everything.
