Baby is Hirschsprung-ed.

Remember about that 2-month-old baby who's suffering from digestion problem and had to wait for about a month till the doctor came out with the result? Well, I shall make a correction about a statement in my earlier post that the baby is actually a boy, named AZ.

He's 3-month-old now and the result has been out. He's confirmed with Hirschprung disease and was scheduled to undergo a surgery to remove part of his intestine last Monday. According to the last message from the father, AZ would be having a hole on the side of his stomach to replace his digestion 'pipe' and he'll be living like that till AZ is 7-8 months old or at least when he already weighs 8kg. The last time I saw the baby, his condition was very weak, very small and he merely made 2kg for his weight.

After the first few consumption of YKLZ, AZ indeed got better, in terms that he had some bowel movements after about a week of not having it. Later, the father stopped giving him YKLZ because AZ refused to take it, probably because he could taste the bitterness of that triterpenoids contained in YKLZ. AZ's condition got worsen after that and I tried to convince the parents to continue YKLZ consumption with an addition of JiaHor Soy Protein. AZ was said to refuse taking both YKLZ and JHSP thus not making his condition any better.

I felt really sad for his health and just wish that he could have more courage to live the many more days to come and overcome the disease he's currently suffering. So to those of you out there who feel pity for this baby, you could at least be extra careful on what to feed your babies, and especially to nursing mommies or pregnant women, watch what you eat, cause it will go straight to your baby and that defines whether your baby would be healthy or not.

Others who have extra moolah, you can extend your donation straight to the father of the child, which could reduce the burden of settling off the medication fee which the father is handling it alone right now, since the mommy is a full-time housewife. All donations can be made to :

If 100 people donated RM1 each, it could help a lot to this family. Please have some mercy for the young guy as if he's yours.

And everyone else, let's take some moment to pray for AZ's health so that he could live for the many more years to come healthily with his 2 elder sisters.

" In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful ... "

Baby, be strong.

Last week, KN came up to me telling that her friend's baby was diagnosed with a serious disease. The 2-month-old baby almost underwent a surgery last Monday in JB. She was suspected to be having Hirschsprung Disease. The surgery was supposed to remove part of her defected intestine. But would it cure her?

KN gave me the father's contact number and we met up. Apparently, the baby was normal for the past 2 months. Only recently, when she was supposed to be vaccinated, the nurse in charged informed the parents of the baby's abnormality. She looked very skinny. Then, the parents realized that the baby has a constipation problem for 8 days already. After explaining to the father about health and some of ShuangHor's product, he was convinced with the product and bought a bottle of Yung Kien Lingzhi. AN suggested a capsule per hour till the constipation problem solved.

The baby was admitted in JB Hospital. So the following night, the baby was given a capsule of YKLZ. The next morning, the stool came out green. Not too hard. Not too soft. That's a good reaction. Only that, according to AN, green stool might be a sign of bad liver. The father continued giving YKLZ to the baby and she has improved day by day. The latest news was she produced yellow stool. Alhamdulillah.

This morning, the father informed me that the baby already refused to take YKLZ. Previously, he opened up the capsule, put YKLZ in a bottle of water and feed the baby. Now, the baby can differentiate the taste, and mind you, YKLZ has only one taste, that is VERY BITTER! So the mother continued to consume the capsules. I adviced the father to put YKLZ in a syringe and force-feed the baby. That's the only way.  But his concern is now whether YKLZ will reverse the effect of hormone-pills the wife is taking.

For everyone's info, hormone-pills are no good for nursing mother, baby, teenagers with pimple problems, family planning or girls with monthly-cycle problem. In short, hormone-pills are no good for anyone! Don't be surprised that even some guys take hormone-pills. The possibility of one getting side effects from that medication is extremely high and the side effects include breast cancer, blood clots, stroke, tumors, and the list goes on and on. 

So to answer the father's concern, no, YKLZ will not reverse the effect of hormone-pills, but it may somehow reduce the possible side effects that might occur during the consumption. But for me, why take the risk?

The baby is now waiting for another month for the doctors to confirm whether she needs to undergo a surgery to remove part of her intestine or not. Let's pray that she'll do fine without any alteration in her body. Imagine if it happens to your 2-month-old baby. What would you do?
