KUALA LUMPUR, (Sept.27, 2024)– In a recent interview with reporters from various health and lifestyle magazines, at Four Seasons hotel at Kuala Lumpur City Centre, Prof. Mike Chan shared his insights on health, emphasizing the need for a holistic approach to wellness that goes beyond medication. His personal experiences with family health issues have shaped his perspective on the importance of lifestyle changes.
Personal Motivations Behind His Practice
Prof. Chan’s passion for health stemmed from personal tragedy. He lost his father to complications of diabetes at age 56 and his father-in-law to kidney failure at 72, despite the latter’s healthy lifestyle, which included walking 10 kilometers daily and avoiding outside food. “You know, how do you expect to be healthy if you consume everything, including sugar?” he questioned, highlighting the dangers of poor dietary choices.
The Dangers of Over-Medication
Prof. Chan voiced concerns about the medical community’s reliance on prescriptions.
The more drugs you take, the more you risk damaging your organs,
he warned. He pointed out that many patients, especially those with chronic conditions, end up on multiple medications that can interact negatively.
Our job is to reduce your medication and promote alternate solutions,
he emphasized.
The Role of the Immune System
Discussing cancer treatment, Prof. Chan explained that many patients suffer from weakened immune systems due to conventional therapies.
To combat cancer effectively, we must boost the immune system,
he stated, noting the importance of gut health in this process. He advocates for innovative treatments available in places like Germany, which can enhance immune response.
Prevention and Lifestyle Choices
Prof. Chan stressed that prevention is key.
Everyone knows how to maintain good health, but it’s hard to implement,
he said, referencing the temptation of unhealthy foods.
Sugar is a major culprit; it’s addictive and can lead to serious health issues.
He encouraged people to be proactive about their health by monitoring their bodies and engaging in regular exercise, even if it means incorporating more walking into daily routines.
A Positive Mindset
When discussing stress, Prof. Chan offered a fresh perspective:
Don’t call it stress; call it challenges.
He explained that maintaining a positive outlook is crucial, as stress can trigger hormonal changes that may activate cancer cells. Instead of succumbing to stress, he encourages viewing difficulties as opportunities for growth.
Achievements and Philosophy
Prof. Chan takes pride in his work with patients previously deemed untreatable, recalling successful recoveries in cases where patients were sent home to die.
To give is better than to take,
he said, reflecting on his belief that good deeds will be rewarded in unexpected ways. He emphasized the importance of equality, stating,
We are all equal, irrespective of financial status.
Prof. Chan’s insights advocate for a comprehensive approach to health that prioritizes lifestyle changes, preventive care, and a positive mindset. His commitment to treating patients holistically reflects a broader philosophy of wellness that seeks to empower individuals to take control of their health.
