Hello Friend and Fellow Health Seeker,

I’m Helen, and I’m the founder  of Health Sifu, a Health Blog and portal for living a healthy, natural and as BALANCED a life as is possible.

I started this site, Heart Sifu, after my mother suffered near-fatal congestive heart failure in 2015, as a result of a serious fall in which she broke her shoulder.
.
My sister and I were warned not to expect too much and, very sadly, we summoned the priest to the ICU, the Intensive Care Unit, at the hospital to give Mum her last rites.
.
While she didn’t die then, Mum was discharged later from hospital in a vegetable-like condition: crippled, frail, weak, wizened, couldn’t speak and with a feeding tube down her nose. 
.
We were saddled with a hefty medical bill and had to continue feeding Mum expensive prescription drugs, a few of which gave her profuse internal bleeding.
.
Since there was no more (today, with hind-sight ‘apparent’) hope for Mum, AND also according to her Western medical cardiologist and geriatrician, I tried other ways of helping her and keeping her as comfortable as possible, preparing her for an easy transition into death. But instead, she slowly, but surely, started to get better.
.
Fast forward 4 years today (August 2019): She is well, walks and eats her favourite foods at her favourite restaurants. And she IS NOT on any prescription drugs WITH her consulting medical doctor’s approval.
.
Now people started asking me what we did.
.
I get asked by my cousins, friends, even her doctors because they saw Mum dying, but is alive and well now. What did we do that they could learn from?
.
With a lot of folks asking for advice, I was compelled to take a step back and listen to what they have to say.
.
I am NOT a medical doctor or a health guru. I am a trained herbalist and naturopath and also a successful restauranteur. I HAD to try various ‘natural’ ways for Mum because she was so ill. And I didn’t want to lose her. She still had years we could spend together.
.
We did use a combination of Western protocols and holistic treatments and remedies as well as food therapy (my absolute favourite), veering towards the holistic side.  And when the need is there, we still use Western medical protocols. I believe that we should use the best of both worlds.
.
This site contains various bits of information on cardiovascular/heart health. Take a good dig around.
.
There are holistic ways which can help conditions like BLOCKED ARTERIES, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH CHOLESTEROL, ANGINA, PALPITATIONS, HEART DISEASE OR OTHER HEART-RELATED COMPLICATIONS and keep them under control, or even reverse them in certain cases.
.
However, the choice lies with the patient or the carers, to use these holistic treatments alone or in conjunction with Western medical protocols. Each person is different, and each person may get different outcomes whatever treatment he undertakes.
.
Keep up good faith. Keep your loved ones near to you in your heart and life. Keep friendly with your medical doctor. Get hold of a holistic health practitioner. If he or she happens to also be a qualified medical professional practising holistic protocols, hold onto him or her for dear life!
.
I wish you a happy and fantastically healthy day!
.
Stay well. Keep well.
.
And…I shall be most happy to receive mail from you. So shoot me your questions!

My (ongoing) Journey towards a Holistic & ‘Balanced’ Life

 

This came about from a mixture of the good fortune of living in many different lands and with people from diverse cultures, seeing and tasting life in its myriad facets, experiencing many hard knocks, making many, many mistakes which set me back years and years…AND serendipity ~ that’s the best part!

My interest in holistic living took me into the realms of European and Asian herbs, detoxification, fasting, cooking, complementary health products, homeopathy, TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Ayurvedic Medicine, urine therapy and more.

I tried many things…and have experience of what works or doesn’t in my area of research – for me (everyone is different)…like (NOT) eating only raw food for 6 months, when I nearly died from extreme weakness: that’s when I learned that the mind is really linked to the body and vice versa.

Perhaps the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever done in my life was a fire walk. Now, years later just thinking about it…it’s like “WOW…live coals? And I didn’t get burned, didn’t even get the tiniest of blisters, and was dancing barefoot 10 minutes later?” Simply amazing what the mind is capable of!

I searched for the answers to life, like countless people before me. I became passionately interested in Astrology and studied it in depth. I also studied Tibetan Buddhism and practised Tibetan Yoga of the Mind: Nirvana does exist (for me – anyway) even if only for a fleeting moment.

I went into the ‘New Age’ phase, then abandoned it. I delved deep into the writings of The Dalai Lama and J. Krishnamurti. Meditation the traditional way didn’t seem to work for me until I found a new technology a couple of years ago. And this seems to be working slow, subtle miracles.
.
Most days, I endeavour to maintain a balance in everything (very often…not always successful! ~ I have bad hair days…yucks!… like everyone else) and keep reminding myself: “Get back on The Middle Ground and you’ll be OK.”  And so it is.

.
I now know a few more things that I didn’t know before…and the journey continues…

Come, join me here on my journey at Heart Sifu.
