You Don’t Have to be Sick and Tired

by Dr Lynn Tan

I know what it is like to be sick and tired. Since the age of 19 until 34, I was suffering from extreme fatigue and tiredness. I lost interest and concentration in everything except my sleep. I had to stop working because of the physical conditions. My family life and loved ones suffered. I went for many medical check-ups and yet all revealed nothing was wrong with me.

But, I knew I was wasting away.

By God’s grace, in 1984, I met Dr. Costa Deir who taught me about total health, spirit, soul and body. I then realised that a good 1st class Honours Degree in Chemistry had not helped me to live! I started to research on the knowledge of natural health and practise it. Bravo! Four months after I started on natural diet and detoxifying herbs, I experienced a new lease of vitality which I had missed for so long.

Even our children, then only two, Leon aged 8 and Snow Wie aged 6 benefitted greatly from this knowledge of natural health. Leon was having chronic bronchial problems. He had almost always needed two series of antibiotic treatment each month to suppress his problems. Snow Wie was asthmatic, I had to carry an inhaler in my bag wherever we went. Sometimes she needed injections to ease her breathing.

Since we started practising the natural healthy lifestyle, both of them had not needed doctors, except in cases of accidents.

Yes, we all do not have to be sick and tired. Due to ignorance and lack of knowledge, I nearly died and my family had suffered needlessly. Now, I am determined, with great encouragement from my dear husband, Cheng Kiat, to pass on this knowledge of natural health and to tell the whole world that "You don’t have to be sick and tired”.

Due to ignorance and lack of knowledge.I nearly died and my family had suffered needlessly.

My dream for the future is for all in this generation and the generations to come, to be equipped with knowledge of health so that they can be completely free of diseases. NewLife International which was formed in 1993, is one of the ways in fulfilling this dream. Through NewLife International, thousands of people in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, as well as other countries like Philippines, New Zealand and Australia are exposed to our teachings of health living. I am glad to say that many have regained new health through our program and many have also joined us as health crusaders in spreading the knowledge.

Our body is so wonderfully and marvelously made that it is self-repairing and self-healing; that is, if only we could give it a chance.

Just take the case of a broken bone. Who healed the bone? Of course it’s the body itself!

Or, just observe how quickly our own cells and tissues grow to close up an open wound; isn’t it amazing?

Our body is equipped with such self-rejuvenating mechanism that in just 90 days, you can build a new bloodstream.

And in just 11 months all the cells and soft tissues in the body are rebuilt. The body requires building nutrients for this rebuilding process. If the food we take are not supplying the body the proper nutrients for this rebuilding, then the body will very soon degenerate with time.

To be healthy, spirit, soul and body is a choice. Some will choose the wide and broad way because it is easy and does not demand much from the person and one is free to do as his flesh desires.

Others will chose the narrow path, which require effort and personal discipline but it leads to health and happiness. Which path will you choose – the choice is yours!
