Our friend Paolo Trinidad is making a name in the Philippines as the master teacher of a special healing theraphy called "Laughter Yoga".I have seen him perform and coach cancer patients at Corridor of Hope events in St Lukes QC..( my son Ryan is President). You start with artificial laughter but it can get pretty natural after a couple of minutes, downright hilarious infact! Experts say you can ACT yourself into feeling. So if you engage in the right actions..the emotions will soon follow.
When Ryan was diagnosed with Lymphoma in 2007, I researched the connection between laughter and healing of cancer. I can never forget the story of an Asian woman who refused chemotheraphy for her breast CA and instead borrowed funny videos, watched them and laughed daily. She was completely healed!! Of course that sounds quite extreme.But everyone has heard a similar story. A story that connects laughter with healing.
At one check up visit to Dr Charity's clinic...she remarked that Ernie remains well today because of his very funny disposition (I have known that for 38 years now!! In fact that is the reason I am Mrs Ernesto Fernandez today). Our doctor agrees that there is a link. So there must be real evidence and science behind it!
Laughter releases a chemical in the brain called "endorphins". Endorphins act like a natural pain killer and gives you a feeling of happiness similar to taking marijuana. They also strengthen your immune system - the army of cells that fight cancer. Some activities that boost endorphins are exercise, eating comfort food, listening to music, petting a dog you love etc- (we've got 3 endorphine producers - our 3 doxies Ola, Garlic and Alic). But top of the list there is plain and simple laughter!!
Anyone who personally knows my husband will agree - he is an absolute clown!! He finds humor in everything! He can say the same corny jokes over and over again and I would still laugh as heartily as I did the first time I heard it in 1976! Someone else could say the same joke and not elicit the tiniest chuckle from me. Everyone loves HIM. Even my 86 year old Mom with Parkinson's disease and who survived 2 strokes, laughs so hard she turns red and cries. He is Mr Program MC for Christmas, Reuions, Weddings, Birthdays etc etc. He is such a blessing to be around with.
Mr FUN, likes to live life to the full! No wonder that is exactly what he gets - disease or no disease we need to live life to the full.

"I Have Given Green Plant For Food"
How fast can time fly...it's moving at the speed of light!
It's been almost 6 months since my last post. We purposely delayed any checkups and evaluation because Ernie has no symptoms of anything gone wrong. Checkup should have been 3 months ago but Cts scans have radiation that can cause more cancer. So it's once again damn if you do and damn if you don't.. the paradox of dealing with cancer...:
Chemo drugs kill bad cancer cells doing good..but also good cells doing bad
Chemo destroys immune system (white blood cells) which is what one needs to fight the cancer with
Chemo drugs kill bad cancer cells...but also kills the healthy bacteria in one's gut so one can't properly absorb nourishment from food that one needs to fight cancer.
This is what I believe :
Everyone has cancer in the body, it is only our immune system (natural killer cells) that keep the enemy under control. Once that immune system is compromised by bad diet, toxins, stress, etc then the cancer cells begin to multiply and eventually form a tumor.
The formation and growth of a tumor involves the developments of new blood vessels to feed rich oxygen and nourishment to the tumor cells. This is called "ANGIOGENESIS". Without the new blood vessels forming the tumor is stunted. It may still be a tumor but it can't grow bigger and may not be able to invade other organs. One can live with a cancer tumor as long as it is weakened and cannot invade. One can live a normal life with cancer.
Green leafy vegetables and fruits directly stop angiogenesis.
What is the common denominator of the top 5 cities in the world with the longest life spans...100++
a diet that is rich with fruits and veggies, a vegetarian diet! We all heard that before...even when we were little children. But a juicy thick steak or moist meaty ribs are just too much to resist even for the best of us mere mortals. Cancer survivorship means a total paradigm shift from eating for PLEASURE to eating for HEALTH!!
Latest CT scan results are out just now- Ernie's lungs show all fibrosis of scar tissue!! Praise and glorify GOD!! Where are the tumors?? Perhaps drowned by all the phytonutrients from all the romaine lettuce, carrots, broccoli, bell pepper, cucumber and more !! Perhaps suppressed by the organic supplements!

"And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given green plant for food"
MRI shows stable lesions in his bone. It's there..praying it is sleeping.
"Evil lesion, in Jesus mighty name, in the name of HE who did thousands of miraculous healings, I command you to weaken and sleep forever. I command you to disappear and leave Ernie's hip bone healthy and strong" - my cry to heaven.
4 years has passed since Ernie first felt excruciating pain in his pubic ramus bone. Stage 4 lung cancer. 3 days ago he finished a 3k fun run with thousands other in Blue Bay Walk in Roxas Boulevard. It was fun, it was a breeze. It was God's wonderful gift to us!
