NATURAL PROGRAM FOR CANCER
This Issue’s Expert: Tam Mateo, N.D.
Question:
Do you have a natural program for cancer? Please advise.
Cancer Defined
Cancer is a full-term incubation of toxin within the entire system which is the result of continuous poisoning of the entire system for more than a decade.
Causes of Cancer
People develop the disease without knowing it. They say that if your family runs with this kind of disease then you are likely to develop the same disease. In my practice as a Naturopath, I have learned that only 20% of the cases are of genetic origin, the remaining 80% have unhealthy lifestyle as the cause, which they have adopted from their own families, and this is the primary reason why family members develop the same kind of disease. I would say that there are two major ways to develop this disease: 1) food addiction and 2) stress. The quality of food people are consuming today can also trigger the development of this disease. Meats are filled with growth hormones, processed foods are filled with excitotoxins - these are but few factors of developing cancer.
At-risk of Cancer
Everybody is at-risk of developing cancer, but if they are willing to start changing their lifestyle, I could guarantee them 100% that they can be free from developing any kind of disease.
Natural Approach for Management of Cancer
As a Naturopath, I mainly recognize the healing ability within the system. We have to go directly or trace the problem to its root or main source. All the people suffering from this disease has a blood abnormality because the blood can no longer function normally to produce quality cells - to produce adenosinetriphosphate (ATP).
In tracing the root, we have to eliminate the old fecal deposits and toxins within the entire system through a process of detoxification. Then we provide the body with nutrients that would help the cellular DNA to create healthy cells. L-Lysine, L-Proline, organic Vitamin C, superoxide dismutase (SOD), anti-oxidants and metaloprotenase enzyme are supplemented to enhance the blood to produce quality cells that will dominate the dying ones and fight cancer cells, then natural healing will follow.
Preventing Cancer Naturally
People who develop cancer or any kind of disease mean that they are unhealthy. In order to prevent cancer or any kind of disease, you have to be healthy, plain and simple. People should learn as well as be educated enough to know and learn the cause and effect of every unhealthy habit they formed. The good news I want to leave is that people who doesn’t like to eat good nutritious food and are annoyed with its taste will have a chance to like it because our taste chemistry can be changed. With the help of God, you can do it especially when it is for our own good health. This is the legacy I want to leave, that people could possibly live without having any kind of disease. I fully commit myself in educating them about health, and people can come to me and learn.

dear Dr. Tam,
recently i have undergone breast ultra sound and it gave me so much fear and anxiety of the impression: Solid nodule with calcifications, right breast. Suggest mammogram to characterize the calcifications in the nodule. is this malignant?
the other one is small nodule with benign sonographic features, left breast.
up to now i did not submit myself for mammogram for my fear regarding the results and i guess it could trigger the situation due to its radiation. i was diagnosed with mayoma but i did not submit for operation coz im still hoping for other options in a natural way.
i thank God for Salamat Dok, ABS-CBN as you are one of their guest.
what must be the treatments regarding these problems?
i pray that God will bless your health mission. God bless.

Dear Dr Tam- my daughter has a thyroid problem,she has a goiter. Do you have a cure for her hyperthyroidsm. She does not want to see a doctor coz she said she does not feel anything. She is presently taking thyroxine but I’ve asked her to have a TSH for further medical check-up. Maybe she is afraid that she may have to undergo an operation. Hope you can prescribed the best natural cure you can offer.Appreciate your response so i could tell her to consult/see you.Regards- Helen

Dr. Tam,
Every summer, I experience this severe itch on my throat, then, by the next day bouts of cough that makes my head ache so much and my ribs feels like it will burst. More coughing when I’m about to sleep. Is there any natural ways to relieve this? I tried calamansi with honey, gargling with salt and water and warm tea with calamansi but they seem to give temporary relief. Pls help… thanx.
23Sol Calumpang on Mar 29, 2008 at 7:34 pm:
Dear Dr. Tam Mateo, my parents watched you on TV and are very interested with your herbal system of healing. We are from Dumaguete City. My mother has serious problems with gallstones, migraine and chronic cough while my dad has very low motility (poor bowel movement) and prostate problem. I have concerns on preventing cancer, kidney and gall/liver problems. Also, my parents are interested with the prospect of distributorship, but this is secondary. Foremost, we are highly interested in your system. We are willing to organize for you a seminar in which you can discuss your system for Duamguete people. Thank you very much. I look forward to hearing from you soon: solcalumpang@gmail.com

Dear Dr. Tam,
My mother is diagnosed with PGO Secondary to Rectosigmoid Adenocarcinoma (cancer stage-4) metastasized to colon, kidney, ovary, liver & lungs. She has undergone surgery (Exlap) with repair of tumor perforation and Transverse Loop Colostomy last March 17, 2008. She was scheduled for Chemo Therapy but we decided to consider the alternative treatment first like Herbal medicine. We have watched you on TV and we are convinced to try your Herbal Healing System. With this regard, I would like to know how to make an appointment with you for consultation. May we please have your contact number…?
Hope to hear from you soon…
Thank you so much!
Ms. Leah Jimenez Sengseng

sa mga nasa Pilipinas po, mas mabuti po kung pumunta kayo sa clinic sa pasig. tuwing linggo po iyon sa ganap na 2:30 ng hapon. napakarami niyo pong matutunan. mas maigi po kung magpakonsulta kay dr tam o kay ms eileen para mabigyan ng ‘protocol’.ako po ay naniniwala na ang pagbalik natin sa natural ay mas mabisa kaysa sa makabagong medisina sa panahon ngayon.siguro ang mahirap dito ay ang pagtalikod sa nakagawiang pagkain ng masasamang pagkain (karne, vetsin, GMO, etc) upang hindi na bumalik ang sakit. ako po ay isa lamang sa mga nakapakinig ng seminar ni dr. mateo. sa lahat ng narinig kong paggamot sa sakit na ‘kanser’ ang kanyang pamamaraan ang pinaka-positibo at pinakamakabuluhan dahil nilulutas nito ang pinagmumulan ng problema at hindi lamang panandaliang lunas. ako po ay bata pa na nabubuhay sa makabagong mundo pero nang mapag-aralan ko ang siyensiya ng “naturopathy”, naintindihan ko po na ang kalikasan at ang likas na kakayahan ng ating katawan na magpagaling ay higit na mabisa sa kahit anong gamot sa botika. naghahanap din po ako ng website ni dr. tam pero wala. sana po ay mahanapan nyo ng panahon ang pagkonsulta. hindi pa po kami nagsisimula ng nasabing ‘protocol’ pero napakalakas ng kutob ko na ito ay magiging mabisa.
