Dr. JB Lim Short Comments on a Cancer Video

Note:  The blogger has forwarded the following Whatsapp message entitled “Cancer - A Shocking Truth” to friends for information and he received a "truly eye-opener" comments from his most-learned e-buddy Dr. JB Lim.  It is simply too good not to be shared with everybody.

The original message:

"This 8-minute video explains how cancer is caused, and how it grows.  Also, how it can be prevented quite easily.  Please do listen to it carefully, and share with as many people as possible.
Pls do see, it's an EYE OPENER!!!"

I came across this video about a few months back. I think someone sent it to me. Can't remember. Here's my short comment:

Super short summary:
1.    "Alkaline water" does not exist in chemistry. The pH of absolutely pure water in their natural state is exactly 7. Any pH below or above has been chemically altered by some other chemicals added into the water. That's it. The chemical nature of water is an exact science. It is an exact area of inorganic and physical chemistry.

2.       Breathing oxygen or deep breathing neither prevents nor cures cancer. Read on in short summary below. 

Short summary:

Fighting cancer is not as easy as that in the video. Cancer is not one disease but a group of diseases with multiple and different causes, morphology, pathology, differentiation, aggressiveness, cellular chemistry, etc, etc.
It cannot be treated by any single modality in isolation. It just does not work. Neither can it be treated by cytotoxic drugs and radiotherapy alone or by combination. At most a few more extra years to extension of life, and it will relapse.  
There are also a few other things in the video I do not agree, such as drinking "alkaline water" and saturating the blood with oxygen by breathing deeply or eating only fruits and vegetables. All these are just lay people and ignorant people hypothesis.
There is no such thing in chemistry as "alkaline water". It does not exist chemically, unless you decide to add poisonous ammonia or caustic soda (potassium hydroxide) into it to corrode your entire gastroenteric tract (mouth, oesophagus, stomach, intestines colon and all) instead of "treating" cancer.  Don't waste your and other people's money to scams. 

There are hordes and hordes of bogus nutritionists, health freaks, food and nutrition extremists out there. If they try to sell you "alkaline water" straight away demand for their academic and professional qualifications and credentials, especially their training in chemistry, biochemistry, etc and also the place and appointments they hold. 
If that chap in the video knows respiratory physiology and medicine he would realize that even normal breathing would already have saturated the haemoglobin in the blood to almost 100 % (oxygen saturation, and haemoglobin dissociation curve) whether you breathe in ordinary air normally at sea level, or breathe in pure oxygen normally, or even inside an oxygen chamber.
You just can't go over 100 %.  That's not mathematically correct. 100% just means the maximum, no higher, no matter how hard you breathe in or how much oxygen (21 % in air) you take in. It is only in under certain medical emergency (examples hypoxia, asphyxia, acute and severe bleeding, shock and hypovolemia, SOB, etc, etc) when the SO2 (oxygen saturation) falls below 94 % that you administer pure oxygen, or to those not yet acclimatized to high altitudes or up on a high mountain that you need to breathe in deeper, and slow down your physical activity in situations where the oxygen tension is low. This is to avoid "mountain sickness". 
If you believe in what that person in the video advises you, then everyone who lives up in the mountains or high up in the plateau will all get cancer because of lack of oxygen, and those at sea level or health freaks and extremists who go regularly to the "oxygen bar" to breathe in pure oxygen (care: oxygen toxicity - too long to explain. Involves respiratory medicine) will have a lower risk of cancer. Is that correct? Absolute rubbish! 

Furthermore, it has been shown that if you put a person into a oxygen chamber and compress the oxygen to 2 or more atmospheric pressures to drive more oxygen into the blood as in hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat stroke patients, diabetic with non-healing leg ulcers, coronary insufficiency etc, etc - maybe you can increase the oxygen-haemoglobin saturation by just a marginal 1 -2 percent more. 
But at the same time, you are going to encourage more blood new vessels to grow (angiogenesis) and more blood flow to the diseased organ or tissue. 
This is exactly what we do not want to do for cancer patients. This means the oxygen will provide more blood supply and flow to the cancer to feed it to make them grow even faster, larger and more prolific. That's not what we want. These people including some doctors are doing the opposite. 
We want to shut them down. We don't want them to be supplied with more oxygen, more blood vessels, and more nutrients. 
I think that chap in the video makes a very serious mistake giving the wrong message to the public, especially to cancer patients. 
There are a lot of people around who talk trash.  A little knowledge is a very dangerous thing as the adage says.

For full and detailed explanation I can only do this orally by telephone to save hours of my valuable time, and only for those who are interested. 
Thanks for the video anyway. Macam, macam unqualified "information" we get inside the computer from unqualified people with each passing week.
