Hi DR,
My father is having his lower limb swollen for the past 10 years, we had did several test but till date there is no diagnostic for him yet. Doctors suspected it might be filarisis. When we did the filarial test the result is negative. Anyway he had completed taking Diethylcarbamazine (Heterazan). His swelling still remains the same. I went thru some WebPages and I found the latest drug stated is doxycycline. Can we try this drug?
Chinese Physician answer:
There are many reasons that can cause the lower limb swollen, these include cardiac insufficiency, renal inadequacy, cirrhosis, endocrine dyscrasia, inner phlebitis or inner vein embolism, and varicosity. We suggest you to seek consultation and treatment from physician to find out the root cause so that right treatment can be carry out.

Hi..susulan daripada soalan saya berkenaan kesan air bio aura kepada pesakit dialisis iaitu ayah saya sendiri yang telah 10 tahun menjalani hemodialisis. Apabila dia minum air itu dia dapati keadaan badannya makin berisi/kembang sehinggakan cincin yang biasa dia pakai tak muat. Tetapi bila ayah saya timbang dengan mesin penimbang biasa yang ada kat rumah, berat badannya tak bertambah. Kenapa?
Apabila badannya menjadi berisi ini menyebabkan dia takut untuk minum air bio aura itu lagi kerana takut terjadinya sesak nafas. Apa yang perlu saya katakan (advice) supaya dia terus minum air itu. Dan bagaimana kesan Garam Buluh Hai-O ke atas pesakit hemodialisis? Tolong lah jelaskan……TQ
Chinese Physician answer:
1.Jika selepas minum air Bio-Aura, didapati pesakit yang menjalani dialisis badannya semakin berisi/ kembang sehingga cincin yang biasa dipakai tidak muat lagi, namun berat badannya tidak bertambah selepas timbang dengan mesin penimbang. Kenapa?
Punca hemodialisis adalah disebabkan oleh penyakit ginjal. Penyakit ginjal juga mungkin disebabkan oleh penyakit kencing manis (diabetes) yang bertahun-tahun lama, atau penyakit tekanan darah tinggi yang lama atau juga disebabkan oleh masalah sakit prostat dan sebab-sebab yang lain.
Biasanya, orang yang menjalani hemodialisis tidak digalakkan untuk minum air yang terlalu banyak. Ini adalah kerana fungsi buah pinggang sudah lemah atau tidak dapat berfungsi untuk membersihkan darah dan membuangkan air (kencing) melalui sistem pembuangan air kencing. Jadi, sebelum menjalani hemodialisis, air berlebihan akan tertinggal dalam sel-sel badan dan menyebabkan badan semakin berisi tetapi berat badan tidak bertambah. Sungguhpun air Bio-Aura baik untuk menjaga kesihatan badan seseorang, tetapi untuk pesakit penyakit ginjal, dia perlu mengurangkan sukatan air yang diminum.
Sesak nafas yang dialami juga disebabkan oleh masalah air yang berlebihan yang terkumpul dalam sel badan. Jika boleh, pesakit juga digalakkan untuk membuat senaman ringan (berjalan-jalan di kawasan rumah).
Biarpun minum air Bio-Aura, tetapi pesakit penyakit ginjal masih perlulah meneruskan rawatan dialisis untuk membantu badan menyingkirkan air.
2. Bagaimana garam buluh membantu pesakit yang menjalani dialisis?
Garam buluh dapat mengimbangkan kadar elemen mikro dengan mengekalkan bahan mineral keperluan badan kita.
Keseimbangan antara kalium & natrium dapat mengurangkan keadaan badan berisi/ kembang. Ini adalah kerana garam buluh mengandungi pelbagai garam organik untuk mengekalkan keseimbangan mineral badan untuk mengurangkan keadaan badan berisi.
Untuk pesakit penyakit ginjal, pengambilan air mestilah mengikut sukatan yang sesuai (perlu mengikut nasihat doktor). Garam buluh boleh diambil mengikut sukatan yang sesuai. Sebaiknya bermula dengan menggunakan Bamboo Salt (Premier Cooking Salt Powder) untuk memasak lauk pauk. Kandungan garam yang tertentu dikekalkan dalam badan untuk mengekalkan fungsi-fungsi badan yang normal.

I have irregular periods all these while starting from my first menstrual at 12 years old until now 25 years old.
The cycle is around once every two to three months. Normally around one week before the menstrual begins, I can start to feel the period pain on and off. When the menstrual started on the first day, it is very painful accompany by heavy bleading and discharge that looks like blood clot and last for 3 to 4 days.
However, sometimes the period turns to be very light bleeding (only need to use panty liner) that last for 2 weeks.
Please kindly advise what causes this condition.
Thank you.

Hi DR,
Saya berumur 25 dan baru mendirikan rumahtangga pada bulan disember tahun lalu. Pada bulan mac lalu, saya telah mengalami pendarahan yang banyak (incomplete abortion). pada masa itu, usia kandungan saya adalah 3 bulan. apa yang membuatkan saya amat terkilan dan kecewa selepas pemeriksaan ialah doktor pakar memberitahu saya bahawa tidak ada janin dalam kandungan saya. Doktor telah menyarankan saya untuk membuat ERPOC dan saya setuju memandangkan saya tidak ada pilihan lain. Bila saya bertanyakan apa yang menyebabkan kandungan saya begitu,doktor itu tidak dapat menjelaskannya. Dia hanya menyuruh saya menunggu keputusan makmal. namun, hingga kini belum ada keputusan makmal diperolehi. hinggalah satu hari, saya terbaca satu artikel mengenai dengan ‘Blighted Ovum’ atau hamil kosong. haid saya adalah teratur dari awal zaman remaja saya hinggalah saat ini. sehingga hari ini saya belum lagi disahkan mengandung. Persoalan saya ialah adakah proses ERPOC hari itu telah menyebabkan saya sukar untuk mengandung? DR tolong cadangkan apa yang perlu saya lakukan?
Chinese Physician answer:
Terdapat banyak sebab yang boleh menyebabkan keguguran. Anda boleh menunggu keputusan makmal untuk mengetahui punca berlakunya masalah supaya rawatan yang sewajar boleh diambil.
