You
Too Can Learn The Secrets of Natural Medicine
Arthur
M. Echano, MD, ND, MACNEM
Many erroneously assume that in the arena of health and wellness,
they have to leave everything to the experts- medical doctors, naturopaths
and other health care providers. Not so. Ironically, my entry into
natural medicine was triggered by the medical condition of my father,
Atty. Cezar F. Echano, Sr., Ll.B,CNC, ND. His transformation from
a sickly dying patient to a robust energetic man through natural
medicine opened my mind to what this highly ignored healing system
can do.
If my father, who had no previous
background in the health sciences could end up with vast knowledge
in natural medicine, anyone can do the same. This is extremely important
if we want to maintain a decent form of health. Today, we know of
people with diabetes, cancer, heart disease, asthma, dementia, disability
and other health concerns. Do we want to be part of this sad statistics?
This is the short story of how my father, who used to rely heavily
on pharmaceutical drugs and who almost died (twice) when he was
in his 50's, learned the basic concepts of natural medicine. Today,
at 76 years of age, he is still actively practicing law in the Philippines.
And has no plans of retiring.
"I wish to inform you
that the kind of nutrition and natural healing I learned saved me
from an impending trip to eternity. I was only 59 years old then
but I was truly dying. With doctors, hospitals and medications,
I could have been long buried six feet underground. With those knowledge,
I triumphed against high blood pressure, asthma, heart disease,
etc.
After learning about correct nutrition
and natural healing and actually benefited from the same, I hope
to still lived up to the Bible maximum of 120 years of life. But,
because of the effects of stroke, asthma, heart disease, and a life
of wrong and careless living, etc., I may no longer achieve that
dream of 120 years of life; for, I already have some infirmities
in body functions, especially the stroke-results to my brain which
adversely affected the same, such that it can no longer command
my body to function normally well. I only hope now that I may at
least live pass the century mark. Because of that almost tragic
experience, may I personally wish that none of you now, after reading
this, suffer a stroke.
After reading this, you may now also triumph, as I did. If you want
to live at least a century, the best advise, that my knowledge and
experience can give you is: try not to suffer from a stroke. How?
That's one of the purposes of this lecture. But I can't tell you
in a few hours what I learned in 17 years of study and experience.
The walls of my bedroom in America are full of nutrition and natural
healing books that, believe it or not, I was able to read all. My
nutrition studies alone involved more than a hundred lessons which
I finished in 4 years; another 4 years in my doctorate studies of
naturopathy or natural healing. The best I can do now in this writing
is impart to you some general principles. The details of proper
living, in order for you to wade through life without sickness or
overcome sickness, may only be learned on a one on one basis; for,
the need of one may not be the same as the need of another, for
no two individuals are exactly alike especially in matters of health,
physical ability, even mores and emotions, and the like.
After my studies of nutrition and
natural healing in America and, because of which, I triumphed over
premature death, I dreamed of thanking God by scattering my good
message of health and life, so that peoples may also triumphed over
diseases and early death. I choose to pursue that dream among my
family, friends, and people of my native land, feeling that they
need me more in this regard than by people elsewhere.
Thus, upon my arrival back to my
native Philippines in 1995, I immediately conducted lectures. But,
it was my sad experience that, although people were first excited
and they enthusiastically heard my message, after the lectures,
when they went back to their old daily lives, they would return
to their old ways; my message went inside one ear and out the other.
I would feel frustrated; the lectures useless; as if my ideas were
those of some lunatics. To cure that defect, I thought then that,
instead of people hearing my message of health in a seminar or lecture,
it was best to reduce the same into writing so that people could
read it not only once but again and again. Thus, in five years I
finished writing a book - "Towards Eternity.."
As I said, it's practically impossible
for me to include in a few hours my almost 17 years of studies and
experience; so that, I urge you to make that little book -"Towards
Eternity" - a part of this lecture. I thought also of writing
this so that you would have something to read, read and read until
understood and fully grasped the very important message that would
make you live, say, 20, 30, 40 or 50 more years. . Read! Try to
overcome that age-old habit of repulsion to reading.
I ventured to open a nutrition and natural healing clinic in Roxas
Boulevard, Manila, but eventually failed because people had plenty
of doubts and were still captives of the medical system. After that
blunder in Roxas Boulevard, I also thought of just writing "Towards
Eternity" to send my message through. The learning you would
get from this book may add decades more to your life - a life freed
from the tentacles of diseases; from the tentacles of a failed system.
Whatever price you pay for this book is nothing compared to gaining
a long additional years of life. Imagine that; with the ideas you
would get out of this writing and "Towards Eternity,"
you may live to at least 100 years.
Most of you know me only as a lawyer and former Chief of Police
of Basud, Camarines Norte. You all lost sight of me for almost 20
years. In America, I was forced by personal need to study and become
a Certified Nutritional Consultant and a Doctor of Naturopathy.
I also studied alternative medicine at the Saint Francis Divine
School of Natural Healing in Novaliches, Quezon City.
I had a stroke on June 12, 1985,
nearly died of asthma in April, 1987, and was dying of heart disease
thereafter. The more I went to medical doctors, hospitals, and religiously
took medications, the more I was dying. But, ergo, what took 59
years of medical failure, took only 15 days of correct nutrition
and natural healing to triumphed in me - asthma gone, blood pressure
normal, rapid heart beat subsided; arthritis eased, etc. I could
breath freely through my nose when for many years I had difficulty
breathing through clogged airways.
With this triumph over sickness
and premature death, plus my credentials on nutrition, natural healing,
alternative medicine, homeopathic ionictherapy, and almost two decades
of experience, I am hoping, you are convince that I can speak with
authority about nutrition and natural healing, and guide any of
you to also triumph over any sickness and premature death.
Oh, what a feeling I had then! With
no more high blood pressure, asthma, heart disease, etc., I began
to entertain the hope that I may yet strive to live up to 120 years.
Although, because of the physical infirmities brought on by my stroke
that still bothers me up to this time, I will be very grateful to
God if I last at least a century only of life. That was 17 years
ago; I'm now 76 years of age and more. Except for the effects of
the stroke, I feel great, as if I am only 50 years old, even lesser,
in all aspects of life, including "what you may be thinking."
As a token of gratitude to God,
I am trying presently to develop my land along the sea in Mangcamagong,
Basud, Camarines Norte where I intend to guide and help people overcome
the travails of diseases. A man in Daet had a stroke, paralyzed
and could not walk. 3 days in the sea and the sand of Mangcamagong,
he was able to walk without assistance.
In the near future, as people approach
the sea in Mangcamagong, just a few meters away, a sign may rise
- "THIS WAY TO CENTURY HEALTH PARADISE" - pointing to
a beach resort where "Doc. Cezar" will teach people the
rudiments of a sickness-free living, up to 120 years or more or
at least a century of life. "
The basic tenets of complementary
medicine are available and accesible to anyone interested in radiant
health and well being. What modern medicine could not do to my father,
natural medicine did. That is, freed him from the shackles of asthma,
diverticular disease, allergy, high blood pressure, stroke and other
diseases of modern men. His secret was no secret. A 360 degree turn
into natural hygiene, the practice of relying heavily on fresh,
raw fruits and vegetables, nuts and seeds for daily sustenance.
We too can experience the same favorable changes if we give natural
medicine a try.
