About the Book
NO MIRACLE CURES - Only Wholesome Self-Healing is a book covering all aspects of an individual’s health and wellness, with emphasis on the need for self-healing.
The book is based on the author’s years of relentless research, as well as his personal experience in his own battle against myasthenia gravis, a type of autoimmune disease.
Below is the FOREWORD of the book:
In the Bible, Jesus said: “Seek and ye shall find.” Matthew 7:7
Once, a disciple asked Buddha what the ultimate truth might be and how he would go about finding it. Without saying a word, Buddha immersed his disciple’s head underwater for a long while until his disciple began to gasp for air. Then, Buddha said to his disciple, “This is the ultimate truth; and if you desperately seek it, you will ultimately find it.”
Likewise, in your search for that ultimate good health, you will know what it is, and will find it as long as you look desperately enough for it. The goal of this book is to facilitate your search. Each of you will find that ultimate truth pertaining to your health - the health, as if it were, tailored especially for you. With a deep desire and an earnest heart in your single-minded pursuit of health, you will find what you are searching for. When you know what you want, and you want it more than any other thing in the world, you will know where and how to look for it. It is never hard to do the right thing about your health. But it is hard to know what is the right thing to do, and not to do it. And it is what this book is about - doing the right thing.
On the other hand, if you are searching for miracle cures, you will be disappointed. There are no miracle cures for any specific disease you may have; there are only certain truths, half-truths, or even myths, about health and healing. The objective of this book is to explore some of these truths or myths, thereby enlightening you in your quest for that ultimate good health that might have eluded you all along.
Here is the outline of the book with highlights of its all-embracing coverage:
(1) FIRST THINGS FIRST
Health awareness is the first step to wellness. Of course, knowing your own health is one thing, and doing something about it is another. But without knowing, how could there be any doing?
Besides knowing your true health conditions, you will learn how to make a decision to change them for the better. But knowing how to sustain that change is equally challenging.
You are not alone: many people simply deny they have a health problem. Why is that?
Hippocrates, the father of medicine, once said: “Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.” But how do you give yourself that opportunity?
(2) WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?
You should not get sick: good health is your birthright!
Then, why do you get sick? But illness may be a blessing in disguise - an opportunity for you to learn about self-healing and wellness.
You will also learn why and how radiation stress, chemical stress, emotional stress, and nutritional stress can make you sick.
Other than adding more years to your life, there is one good reason why you should aim at living to a hundred and beyond.
Do you want to know why?
Disease does not strike overnight: it comes in successive stages, each of which has different signs and symptoms. To ignore them is a crime against your body, often punishable by death.
You will learn why Western medicine and diets offer no miracle cures for any disease you may have.
(3) REVERSAL OF MISFORTUNE
To reverse any health misfortune you may have, you need to take certain decisive steps. What are they?

You may have been bombarded with many other controversial diets - high-fat or high-carbohydrate diets! Some nutritionists say this, while others say that - who are telling the truth, or are they all lying? So what is the bottom line?
Well, how about the Standard American Diet (SAD)? You may have second thoughts about eating too much American food.
There is another school of thought: going raw. What is a raw food diet? What are living and raw foods? Are they absolutely good for you?
But there is yet another diet - the Oriental “yin” and “yang” of balance and harmony. That may work miracles for you! Here, you will learn to appreciate its theory and efficacy. You will also explore the Chinese philosophy of healing, as well as get your feet wet about some of the basic principles of Chinese medicine. With thousands of years of evolution, the Chinese way of healing is simply mind-boggling - totally different from the Western approach to wellness. You may want to know more.

Stop doing what you have been doing to your health! Albert
Einstein’s definition of “stupidity” is repeatedly doing the same thing over and over again and yet expecting a different result. If you expect your health to be different from what it is or has been, then you will have to do differently. The maxim, ironically enough, is quite simple: “The enlightened man eats when he is hungry and sleeps when he is tired.” The trick is in the “enlightenment.” Hopefully, you will have become enlightened after reading the book.
