Thailand K.W. (63 years old, female)

〔Diagnosed with peritoneal cancer〕

　In July 2007, I was not feeling well due to fatigue, fever, and bloating. I was then examined at the MOA Bangkok Clinic. A doctor then introduced me to the National Cancer Center for a detailed examination.
　As a result, I was diagnosed with peritoneal cancer. Moreover, I was told that the cancer had progressed to the third stage. I had to receive anti-cancer drug treatments. I was stunned and saddened and thought, “I wonder if I will die.”
　From July 2007 to February 2008, I received five anti-cancer drug treatments at the National Cancer Center. During the treatments, I was not able to think straight and suffered from various side effects like thirst, loss of appetite, vomiting, constipation, tiredness, and other side effects such as pimples all over my body. Thus, I was depressed, frustrated and easily offended by anything my family members were doing.
　I tried using a healthy food called rice germ oil because my normal diet didn’t go down my throat. Yet, my body became weaker and my muscles weakened and I couldn’t walk. Also, my limbs had become numb.

〔Cooperation of the MOA Healthy Life Network〕

　In parallel with the treatments at the National Cancer Center, I continued to receive Okada Purifying Therapy.
　The MOA Bangkok Clinic and the Healthy Life Network members held a discussion and developed a schedule for me to receive three hours of Purifying Therapy on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at the Bangkok Clinic, and on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays from the Healthy Life Network members. After receiving Purifying Therapy, my fatigue would disappear and I had an appetite. I also had better bowel movement.
　Also, when I was suffering from the anti-cancer drug treatment; or when I was anxious and unwilling to live, everyone encouraged me and helped me. One person heard of my suffering and shared his knowledge on Mokichi Okada’s philosophy on the “purification process.” “The true cause of the disease is that toxins that should not be in the body accumulate and solidify. When the solidification exceeds a certain level, a natural elimination process occurs. This is what I call a purification process. Since the purification process is accompanied by pain, this pain is called an illness. Therefore, from my view, the illness is a process of purifying the body. The blood of the human body is purified and health is maintained by the purification process.” He shared the excerpt from Okada’s article. By understanding that illness is the purification process of bad things coming out of my body, I was able to calm my mind and regain my energy.
　The MOA Arts and Culture instructor brought me beautiful flowers and arranged them in the room. Looking at the flower arrangement, I felt calm and healed. In addition, some people have introduced the Healthy Eating Program, a part of the Okada Health and Wellness Program. They said, “It is better to prepare a meal using fresh seasonal vegetables; and when available, use Nature Farming method ingredients that do not have chemical fertilizers.” I also thought that if I continued to rely on health foods and supplements, my digestive function and physical strength would eventually decline. I thought that eating fresh Nature Farming method ingredients as much as possible would be good. In particular, I often tried to consume rice cultivated by the Nature Farming method.

〔Family cooperation〕

　One day, I received the following advice from a member of the Healthy Life Network. “There are times when you can’t go to the Clinic or when people from the Healthy Life Network can’t visit you. Especially when it’s late at night or when you suddenly have pain. It may be helpful to incorporate Purifying Therapy at home to give you peace of mind.”
　I was convinced of this advice, and around September 2007, I asked my husband and a relative to “take a Purifying Therapy therapist certification course so that you will be able to administer the therapy to me.”
　My husband was not enthused at first. However, at the same time he was impressed by the loving efforts of the Healthy Life Network for my care. It seems that there was a change in his heart and he felt that he had to do something. He then took a certification course for therapists. After that, when I complained of pain or was suffering, he administered Purifying Therapy to me.
　My sister and my eldest son’s wife took care of the meals for me because I couldn’t do the housework. In particular, in order to make a meal that is kind to my body, they bought and cooked Nature Farming method ingredients from the MOA natural food stores. My second son’s wife came to Bangkok from Yala province in southern Thailand, 1000 kilometers away, and took care of me.
　On March 5, 2008, I had a blood test because all the anti-cancer drug treatments were over. Then, the doctor said, “The results of the blood test show that the tumor markers are normal. It is not necessary to continue the anti-cancer drug treatments at present. However, please come to the test regularly.”
　In parallel with the anti-cancer drug treatment, I was able to overcome it by receiving thorough Purifying Therapy centered on the Clinic and the Healthy Life Network. I am truly grateful to the staff of the Clinic and the people of the Healthy Life Network.

〔Changes of the Family〕

　My approach to cancer has given my family a better understanding of MOA activities. In particular, after comprehending the value of the Foundation which is contributing to the health of people, my second son’s wife has been making monetary donations to support the activities of the MOA Thailand Foundation.
　I myself had a really valuable experience, so I took a lung cancer patient who I met at the hospital to the Bangkok Clinic. It seems that the person did not feel the effect of the medical treatment he had received so far, but he seemed to feel a change in his physical condition after receiving Purifying Therapy. From June 3, 2008, he continued to come to the Clinic for Purifying Therapy. He had received a total of 31 Purifying Therapy treatments by July. When he had a histological examination of cancer cells in August, he was told that no cancer was found. He was diagnosed to have full recovery. He accepted this fact as the effect from Purifying Therapy. He then acquired the “Purifying Therapy treatment certification” and the “therapist certification” in November. He is currently volunteering as a therapist at the Bangkok Clinic.
　Currently, I have returned to my parents’ home in southern Thailand to rest. However, with the cooperation of the MOA staff, I am holding “health promotion seminars” to introduce the Okada Health and Wellness Program. Until now, I was on the side of receiving Purifying Therapy, but now I have recovered to the point where I can administer Purifying Therapy to the participants of the seminars, and hoping for the health and happiness of people.
