… What will you do if you can live for only six months because of…. bone cancer?

Bone cancer rarely occurs in human beings. However, if it does occur, its effect will be severe and it can rapidly spread to other parts of the body. Although today's scientists are not certain of the causes of bone cancer, a number of factors may put a person at risk. From observation, bone cancer often occurs after the bone is severely injured or receiving radiation such as radium, and strontium.

Ms. Phanit is a bone cancer patient. Before finding out the truth, Ms. Phanit usually felt fatigued and pain in her muscles. She thought that this feeling was caused from exercising but after taking a long rest, she still felt the same. When she went to see a doctor, he recommended her to receive physical therapy and get more rest but the pain still remained.

And the reason why Ms. Phanit chose to receive treatment at Balavi is because she likes reading almost every kind of books, such as, Dr. Max Gerson's theory and Nale Macoratic .

Then, one day she found a book on cancer natural treatment of Dr. Banchob Junhasavasdikul and Dr. Lalita Dhirasiri. She decided to strictly follow the book such as meditating, colon detoxification with coffee, exercising regularly, and changing her diet totally by eating no meat including other kinds of protein. She also stopped cooking with oil or ate salty food. She turned to eat brown rice, fruits and vegetables until she felt stronger and wondered if there' d be any differences between following the book and receiving direct treatment at Balavi.

After talking for almost an hour, I finally saw her first smile. It felt as if this smile was drawn from her innate power and happiness. Before she left for other courses, she looked back at me and said
