Don’t believe it?
Then what do you make of this report published in that oracle of truth, the Borneo Post?
State’s very own cure for cancer
A herbal compound for cancer treatment could soon be mass-produced by Sarawak. Ministry of Planning and Resource Management deputy permanent secretary Datu Len Talif Salleh said the state had so far raised 300,000 seedlings of the herbal plant that contains the needed ingredient.
Full report here.
Len adds that the ministry is currently working together with the Sarawak Biodiversity Centre and the private sector to develop the herbal planting sector into another major revenue source for the state.
If the Borneo Post can engage in such reporting based on the statements by a Sarawak Ministry of Planning and Resource Management official, is it any wonder then that many Malaysians have a hard time believing what the paper has to say about the marginalised Penan?
Is Len saying Sarawak developed some herbal cancer remedy on its own without recourse to US FDA and Ministry of Health approval?
Since when does the Sarawak Biodiversity Centre have the authority to “develop” a product touted as a “cancer treatment” remedy as a “major revenue source”?
Since when does a Planning and Resource Management Ministry official have the expertise to even talk about the potential efficacy of any cancer remedy?
They said lemongrass and asparagus can prevent cancer.

State election is round the corner. Just another feel-good announcement to fool the voters. The state is no short of quack medicine promoters and the state gomen is one of them. Back in 1986, the cm proudly announced that the extract of the Bintangor tree can cure AIDS. What happened to that discovery? http://www.borneofocus.com/saip/vaic/R&D/article19.htm

This is jamu business. Do not look down on it. Jamu is big business. You can see it in Indonesia.
But what I cannot stand is the govt trying to wrap scientific hocus pocus around the jamu. This is legalised snake oil….

Hey some researcher in Sarawak may be the first Malaysian to rewarded the Nobel Prize. You see Sarawak will offer cure to whatever that thing cancer is, which is the leading cause of death in many countries.
Here in Sarawak, a “major medical breakthrough”, ground-shaking one, is announced by a government bureaucrat, rather than the scientific research community, or is there such a research community ?
Will Borneo Post enlighten us about the International Medical or Scientific Journal in which the research will be published ?
1Malaysia, performance now, another nice sweetener !

These people in Sarawak did claim their herbs can sure AIDS?
I wonder how Malaysia can be a developed country if our government officials are talking without scientific fact?

Who is talking scientific facts? They are talking about making money. This is more important than facts.

That a high government official could come out and make such a ridiculous and unproven claim about “this plant” goes to show what level of IQ and competency we have in the Sarawak government. As a Sarawakian, I am ashamed. This is the sort of nonsensical fantasy that one can find only in a government that has long overstayed its mandate. Not only has it not done anything in the last 25 years to properly educate its population, it hasn’t even educated itself! No wonder we are still among the most backward states in the country.

The best treatment therapies for the breast cancer are :
1. Surgery is usually the first step in fighting cancer. The cancer is removed and the breast is reconstructed.
2. Chemotherapy is a systematic treatment. This treatment disturbs the whole system of the body. The advantage about this therapy is the drugs used in this method.
3. Radiation therapy sends targeted radiation to the area affected by the cancer. The radiations are passed on the breast and the cancer cells are destroyed.
4. Hormonal therapy is used for hormone positive forms of breast cancer. This form of treatment is rarer than the others because hormone positive breast cancer is not as common.
5. Complementary and holistic medicine is often used in conjunction with other treatments. Usually these kinds of medicines help ease side effects, improve the quality of life of the patient, and help soothe symptoms.
Research has shown that women with certain risk factors are more likely than others to develop breast cancer.
