There was this woman on TV who was said to be cured of her stage 3 colon cancer by just taking natural herbal medicine . In lieu of her chemotherapy, she instead opted to drink the juice extracted from boiled malunngay , pandan and tangland. Thus , her cure. 
The following as shown and narrated on TV are said to be some of the helpful herbal medicines ;
Stevia leaf - could substitute for sugar in our coffee. Just put the leaf
on your coffee and it could already be sweetened naturally.
Pansit-pansitan - good for arthritis
Sambong & balbas pusa - for fatty liver and for cleansing of our kidneys
However, of course for us to benefit so much from them, we should also do some exercise , avoid fatty foods and have a healthy lifestyle.

I am not sure whether that in question is true or not,but I think natural herbal medicine is superior in many respects to Western medicine.In addition,I don't think much of chemotherapy which kills healthy cells and cancer cells simultaneously and damages the immune system.I have no idea what malunngay , pandan , tangland and pansit-pansitan are,If only you told me what their Latin name are.

Oh i am sorry my friend, i really don't know their English terms. That's why i have to put it under the Philippines, because those herbal plants are indigenous here.
But i think, in your place you also have a lot of herbal plants. Chinese are really into herbal medicine , that's why?
Maybe you can share some too?

I had been engaged in Thaditional Chinese Medicine for over 40 years before I was retired,this is why I am interested in what you said.Maybe the herbal plants you mentioned also grow here,just because their names differ from place to place.

I have heard of natural herbal and/or organic medication at times being more effective than the medication that doctors normally prescribe.
Personally I have been trying to eat more natural foods, staying away from fatty foods in order to get accustomed to be better and healthy life style. It is at times a bit difficult especially when all your life you have been used to eating certain type of foods. But I will admit, natural and/or organic things are not only beneficial for us health wise, most of the time they do tend to taste a lot better.

When it come to cures, it's still best and thrifty to remedy it through natural herbs. Actually, there are really a lot of herbs that could alleviate if not cure whatever sickness that we may have.

Dear friend,
I feel that those herbal medicines mostly do not much side effects. Most people after chemotherapy losses their hair and gets lean also other side effects are affected. Here in our places there Ayurvedic (medicines from natural products) medicines which had successfully cured cancer and even those rejected cases of other medicines. May be a well maintained life style could save from many kinds of diseases.

Actually, there are a lot of herbal juices and medicines claiming to cure and make one healthy. However, they are so expensive, that common people cannot afford them.
Hence the natural herbal medicines, such as those being boiled and drank , would really be so helpful.

Yes, i have read that a healthy diet that consists mostly of fruits , vegetables and fruits makes us resistant to diseases. Though sometimes, it is inevitable that despite eating healthily we get sick.
In such sickness, there are still natural remedy or plants that correspond to our sickness. Though it may take time to prepare, they are inexpensive and almost can be instantly felt for relief.

Yes, these herbal medicines actually originated in China. Though, here in the Philippines our forefathers already use these herbs in the olden days. Some knowledge about these herbs were handed down from generation to generation.
For every illness, there's an herb to counter it. However, for some diseases it wasn't just discovered yet ,what herbs can cure them, though there are .

Alternative medicine do have some concocted pills out of herbs. But they too, also promote how to make them on our own, meaning simply boiling those herbs and drinking them .
