A hope

Hope. That's all we're able to give. We can never guarantee anything, nor can we decide for others. All we do is advice, share and educate, and the decision is up to them. The result is up to the Almighty.

This will be the 5th year I'm involved with Shuang Hor. Why am I still here? Simply because the hope that I can give to others when they think they have none. When they do not know what to do while they're down, we provide solutions. When they are sick and not able to get up, we help to make them feel better and stronger. So why not Shuang Hor?

I am not against the doctors. According to Merriam Webster, one of the definitions of a doctor is a person skilled or specializing in healing arts, especially one who holds an advanced degree and is licensed to practice. Another definition says that a doctor is a person who restores, repairs or fine-tunes things. Well, to me, a doctor is a person with all the knowledge about human's body functions and has a high understanding of drugs to be / not to be used by human (or for animals - Vet). Yes, they have the 'license' to prescribe you with drugs and give advice based on the diagnosis / tests done on your body. But in the end of the day, I always believe that the best doctor in the whole wide world (WWW-not world wide web) is our own body. This is because, based on the definition given by Merriam Webster itself, our body is able to restore, repair and finetune itself - provided that we have a good immune system. And how do we have that? Of course, by having a good digestive system, as well as other main body systems - nervous, metabolism, respiratory and circulatory system.

I've been attending weekly health meetings and seminars conducted by Shuang Hor for about 2 years now. And of course, there are still new things to be learnt everyday. Our body is 'constructed' beautifully that no other machine could ever match. Not even close. The organs are actually irreplaceable, so take care of your kidneys, liver, tonsils and even your appendix! They are in your body for a bloody good reason!

So what happen if our kidneys are not working as they are supposed to? What should we do if our tonsils are swollen? Well, if you are experiencing any discomforts in your body, it shows that your body is sending you a signal / alarm that parts of your body is sick. The solution is not to remove the alarm, but to attend the problem areas. The best thing to do is strengthen your immune system and your whole body will work cohesively to fight any infections / irregulars happening.

Why are we so concern about your health?

Have you heard of a 12-year-old girl, got her uterus taken out? It started with bad period cramps. But I wonder, how many menstrual cycles have this 12-year-old girl gone through, to make the doctor suggested hysterectomy? And what's more, didn't the parents know what are the consequences and how's the future of this girl would be after this? Lack of education & knowledge? Maybe. That's why we try to reach as many people as possible to educate how we have the full rights to our own body. Any suggestions / recommendations from the doctors should be analyzed, and not to accept them 100% without any research or 2nd opinions.

That's one of the many cases with shocking organs-removal done by human, towards another human being.

This remind me of a hadith : Rasulullah SAW telah bersabda yang bermaksud, "Bahawa Allah telah menurunkan penyakit dan ubat dan dijadikan kepada setiap penyakit ada ubatnya. Berubatlah, tetapi jangan berubat dengan benda-benda yang haram". Wallahualam.
