TOBACCO not only KILLS - see what it does to you - Marry a SURVIVOR and bring a change

Hi everyone,

 

I'm back to blogging. Every disease has a solution. Every cancer has a cure. Stay aware and act wisely. This time I'm going to talk about HEALTH and marriage.

 

SMOKING is injurious to health. These kinds of pictures are shown before every movie in theatres.

 

 

So how many of you have imagined this on your face? Nobody right? Coz you imagine that you wouldn't get cancer just because you smoke just 4 cigarettes per day and there are lakhs of people out there who smoke 2 boxes per day and still are cancer-free.

 

First of all - every person's immune system is different from one another. So a person who is not a chain-smoker can get CANCER anytime due to his weak immune system. Ok, there are now cures for all types of cancer (ONLY IF DETECTED EARLY) But why do u have to endure the pain? Why do you want to get operated on your lovely face and look like the above pic? Why do you want to inject yourself with unwanted steroids to combat the pains of chemo or radiation? Why do you have to endure the excruciating pain? why do you want to shatter your life for just 5 minutes of pleasure that you get from the 12 cm long killer? Think..

 

I seriously do not want anyone on this earth to suffer with this KILLER disease as I've known the pains of the treatment. When there are unknown reasons for many types of CANCER - we should try to avoid at least the well known causal agents like SMOKING/DRINKING/DRUGS.

 

I still believe that words and pictures can do miracles. If atleast one person reading this stops smoking/drinking, I'll be the happiest in this world.

 

Important note for SMOKERS When you have decided to stop smoking, just do not do it abruptly. There are cases when your cells start to act differently if you stop suddenly which might also lead to CANCER. Do it gradually with the help of a rehab centre so that your body is at ease while doing so.

 

Astonishing fact: There was one person who spoke to me last week to ask about the hospitals which offer good cancer treatments. I was suggesting options when I asked what type of cancer the person had. The reply that he gave stumbled me. He said he just had headache and he went to doctor and it was found he had a gland near his cheeks where the CANCER was diagnosed. I was taken aback. If this continues, what will happen to our society?

 

What will the next generation have apart from diseases? How can we prevent this state?

 

1: Organic farming - We pay so much to buy the vegetables which are full of pesticides and insecticides?

 

2: CARBONATED drinks - I was astonished to hear Malayalam director Ranjith Pillai died of Liver Cirrhosis. His friends say that he used to repent for having a bad eating habit of eating loads of unhealthy food and many cans of Carbonated drinks per day.

The liver starts to shrink due to excessive unhealthy food/Drinking and finally develops cancer. LIVER is one ORGAN which shows up symptoms of damage only at the last/final stage. That is the reason why most of the DRINKERs identify their problem only at the last stage and end up dying soon.

 

LIVER TRANSPLANT

The only solution for a fully damaged liver cirrhosis is - LIVER transplant.

Cost involved: 40 Lakhs in private hospitals

GOVT hospitals are cheaper but you need to wait longer

LIVER donation  -

 

• LIVER can be donated by a healthy relative with the same blood group and tissue match. The person has to have a minimum weight to donate LIVER (he should not be overweight as well)  
• Liver can be donated from a BRAIN DEAD person - the doctors go and do a counseling with the relatives of a BRAIN DEAD person (mostly happens due to accidents) - Brain dead is next to COMA and hence the chances of revival will be around 1 % - so the doctors convince the relatives to donate ORGANS. Liver should be taken only from people who are alive and in vegetative state like this. Now how difficult is this procedure.

 

Should we suffer all this? How can we prevent LIVER CIRRHOSIS/CANCER

1. Eat right at the right time. 4 meals per day - do not eat at un-time
2. Chew your food very well before you swallow - this helps in improving your metabolism and hence you don't tend to gain much weight
3. Even if you end up eating more fat on the day,  try to exercise more the next day to maintain your body weight.
4. When fat gets deposited more on the liver, it leads to FATTY liver and the chances of CIRRHOSIS is more.

 

There might be a question from few of you

'What is the use of all this? In spite of following all this, I got CANCER'

Answer: Just because of your healthy diet, you were able to fight back and SURVIVE and work as before - much better than others. That's the main key to success.

 

There was one guy who asked about marrying a woman who was treated for CANCER and is normal now taking just one medicine. His relatives are against the marriage. But he likes her so much just because of her confidence in life.

 

For the guys/girls who want to marry a CANCER survivor

• I appreciate your act - as you've chosen a partner who has gone through the roughest times in their lives. So you can vouch on their CONFIDENCE
• Your partner will be doubly taking care of you as well giving you the right food to maintain you healthy
• Your partner can brave out to face any situation - be it FINANCIAL laydown or anything - since he/she would have seen much worse things in life
• Your partner can lead a normal life just like how you are.
• Your partner can give birth to a young one - I have known SURVIVORS who have given birth to 2 kids after treatment. 
• In the rarest of cases - even if he/she is not able to - ADOPT a kid 
• After all, life is not about earning money but giving life to a person and making him/her happy.

SURVIVORS are not the weak lot - but they are much stronger than others mentally as well as physically. So start spreading the word and marry a SURVIVOR with boldness and tell your relatives that whatever comes between us, we will bravely face it and live a happy life in front of all of you :)  

 

My latest pic here for the people who want to know when their hair will grow back after chemo. Right now its been 1 year and around 2 months and I have hair which touches the back of my neck. And also I've got curls called chemo-curls - Chemo changes the texture of hair and your own hair will be back as it grows further

 

 

I have much more to say - I will say it soon in my next blog - until then,

START exercising

STAY healthy

EAT healthy

 

Start supporting ORGANIC farming
