Saturday afternoon I got my son to take a chest X-Ray AP and Lateral at the Medical City clinic in SM Marikina. Funny I told the clerk my son was 6 years old. Maybe that will get a discount. I was charged 505 pesos for the chest X-Ray. They were pretty efficient there. I and the x-ray operator hid behind a divider to protect ourselves from the dangerous x-rays while my son took the necessary blast to see inside of him. The resident analyst says the results suggest Koch’s disease aka primary complex aka tuberculosis.
I hounded Dr. Bien Castro to get an appointment. His schedule was fully booked. I said any time is a good time, this is my boy. He found us some time at 6:30am in his house at Sucat, Paranaque. Great, I woke up at 4:30am Sunday and left with my boy 5am with my son. We arrived on time.
Dr. Bien says the x-ray showed no abnormality with that little bone sticking out of my son’s chest. I was thinking it was some sort of dislocation or “pilay”. He says that should self correct once he aligns my son’s bones. So he proceeded to align the hips and the spine. He says children are easy patients, it isn’t tiring for him to treat children.
What Dr. Bien found intriguing was my son’s rough spot on his right lower arm. The one we suspected of fungus but so far only responded to raw beef fat and not much else… Dr. Bien says that rough spot is a mere manifestation of the large intestine problem he has seen with my son with his spine. Solve the large intestine problem and this is solved as well. But he says his energy healing with the Carmen Bees machine will help correct the large intestine problem externally. The CarmenBees is an electric device, a Filipino engineering marvel, it is very warm and spins electromagnetic energy internally. Rub it on skin and on a defective spot it will be stuck / magnetized / attracted to. Sure enough it was sticking to the rough spot. Amazing thing. I’ve seen that machine work before in cancer patients, it’s more amazing as I am more attentive because this is my son.
After some 2 hours of treatment with my boy, Dr. Bien thinks that this is more of a nutritional problem. The skin lesions all over like “galis” is just part of the nutritional deficiency. He suggests to just feed and feed the boy. To enhance his appetite, he suggests to give Kirkland Cod Liver Oil, he says he has good experience with patients on that supplement.
I’m checking the internet for cod liver oil and found some encouraging material from:
Cod-liver oil may be given in all wasting diseases, and is occasionally valuable in cases of chronic rheumatoid arthritis; but its great therapeutic value is in cases of tuberculosis of whatever kind, and notably in pulmonary tuberculosis or consumption. Its reputation in this is quite inexpugnable.

It was worth the trip to see Dr. Bien and have his advice on board to help heal my son. My next post will be a synthesis of my tuberculosis cure plan for my little boy.
