We can make friends with 'pain'
We all experienced pain in our life at a physical, emotional and/or mental level. None of us like pains; however, pain could be a teacher or a friend if we can learn from the 'Pain experience'.
Why Is There Pain And Suffering In Life?
For us as a human being, It is often only through pain and suffering that we take the time to really get to know ourselves and make changes in our life. Many of us also do not value things that are too easily achieved, i.e. that we get without pain.
So why do we have pain in our lives? Our conscious and our unconscious (or soul) will give us very different answers to this question.
How Our Conscious Mind Sees Pain
If we are honest, most of us see suffering as something unpleasant to be endured or avoided.
We see the better times in life to be those when we are experiencing harmony,
contentment and happiness. When we are content, however, we do not feel the need to search for answers.
The times in life that make us grow and give us the depth to our character are not those times spent in harmony, contentment and happiness, but rather those time spent in adversity. In the same way that a baby who continued to lie quietly and contently on a rug would never learn to crawl and then walk, so it is for us. It is the times of frustration and pain that move us forward and help us to grow.
There are times in most lives, when we feel we cannot endure what life is throwing at us. During those times I remind myself that I chose this life and I would not have chosen things I did not believe I could endure or grow from.
How Our Soul Sees It
Our soul or unconscious sees pain and suffering as the opportunity for healing, growth and understanding. Struggle is natural to growth. In the same way that metal is made stronger each time it is returned to the fire and then struck on the anvil, so too are you made stronger each time you endure adversity. Eventually the suffering and pain fades and you are left with the gifts that are their legacy.
For example, when I came back from Taiwan sabbatical, I was very sick. Endoscope and colon-scope examinations found pre-cancerous cells in both of my stomach and colons. Additionally, my stomach was infected with antibiotic-resistant H. Pylori . During the last 4 years, I had plenty of time to reflect on my life one day I thought back over my life and how I had reached this point. I made the connection between life's toughest moments and the character strengths I felt I had gained from them. I took the time to reflect those tough moments and thanked them for the experience and the character strengths I felt I had gained as a result of my interaction with them.
Although we have designed this lifetime in advance, while we are here we still have the power of freewill. Unconsciously, we can choose whether or not we will experience some of the suffering we had planned to help us with our growth.
This is illustrated in a story told by a subject in The Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. In the story a little girl fell out of a carriage and land beneath its wheels at age of 8. As a
result of this accident, she suffered immense pain in her legs and was crippled for the rest of her life.
Living and coping with the pain gave her powers of concentration above and beyond those experienced by other people. She used these powers of focus later in life to become an inspirational teacher. The fact that she was bound in a wheelchair meant she lived a life focused more upon mental and emotional rather than physical skills as she had deliberately unconsciously chosen to remove them from that lifetime. The very thing that seemed to be such a tragic event was the very thing that in the end meant she would become successful in her chosen career and ensure her personal growth.
While in a trance state the subject was able to explain the unconscious moment of choice she experienced before she continued to play with the carriage door until it opened. She knew that she could stop playing with the door and avoid falling out of the carriage and becoming crippled. She knew that if she did this, she would still have a good life, but she wouldn't experience the same level of personal growth and neither would she serve others to the same degree.
Find The Positive In Our Pain
As difficult as it sounds, there is reason to be positive about our pain and suffering. As a friend said to me while I was recovering from the illness, "Embrace the pain it means
you are alive". Although at the time I wanted to say rude and sarcastic things to him, in hindsight I came to find the truth in his words. Those times we are experiencing pain in
life are also the times that we are growing and learning the fastest.
In every situation, look for the learning we can get from it. Once we have it, the pain enerally ceases. Gain the growth and cease the pain. If the pain continues, it is a good indication that there is still something for us to 'get' (a lesson or understanding) from the experience.

Henry Morton Stanley
Friends, if we are facing life-threatening challenge and we know we don't have many more days to live, what should we do? The following story could be an inspiration to motivate us to live to the best for each day.
Henry Stanley (1841-1904), a hero of both British and American, is known to the world for his expedition to Africa's 700 miles Congo River in March，1871. In his own diary, one day, he noted that he lost 60 lbs, 3 months after expedition. That day, he noted that he weighed only 110 lbs. Another day, he noted that he was shivering all day because of malaria while the temperature outside was 130 F. Many of his people (porters) deserted, while many others died. The expedition team was short of food, afflicted with tropical disease, and threatened every day with hostile cannibalistic tribes along the shore of the Congo River, chanting 'Nioma, Nioma (Meat, Meat)'. None of the Europeans that went along with the expedition died except him.
Even with such hardship, how did he survive? He recalled his experiences to a journalist interviewing him. He said, every morning when the sky breaks, he realized he was still breathing, he was still alive. As long as he was alive, he would live to the best of the day. In the morning, he would shave, put on best and clean cloth. In the night before he retired, he would write his expedition journal.
The moral of the story is that whether we are facing life-threatening challenge or not, as long as we are still breathing or alive for the day, we shall live to our best of the day; for men, shaving and putting on clean and good clothes to look good; for women, make up and putting on nice dress to look good. Even faking has positive impacts on overall well beings.

Cancer Treatment--Part II. Healing Story--Dr. Ho Tan Kuang's (何錟光) testimony
Following is a healing story of Dr. Ho who is a cancer patient survivor.
Two years ago (2011), I had colons-copy procedure. The surgeon found and removed 2 polyps. Polyps are pre-cancers. Patients who have polyps should be watchful in life-style adjustment. Well, I did not pay too much attention to the removal of polyps until last year (2012) when I observed that my bowl movement habit had changed: several times a day, and none of the stool had normal shape. So, I requested another colonscopy. In July of 2012 after the procedure, the surgeon told me that he had removed 3 small polyps. However, there was one polyps had a size larger than 1.5 cm and required surgery to remove.
Three days after the surgery, the doctor told me the bad news: the polyp they removed was malignant and had metastasized to the lymph system. The doctor said that I need chemo-treatment for the colon cancer.
"Doc, how the chemo will be done?", I asked.
"You need 3 month chemo treatment: Twice every month. Each month, you will receive 2 treatments every 15 day-period. For each period, you will stay in hospital for 3 days 2 nights." the doctor replied.
After the doctor gave me the treatment instructions, he left. After hearing this terrible news, my mind was complete lost. I talked to my son working in the U.S. He said that he would research to see if there were alternative treatment because for my age, life would become upside-down and I would lose all the pleasure and dignity as a human being.
That was the time when I met Dr. Pan. His first instruction was to advise me changing life style including diet, exercise, and sleep. After 4 weeks, he wrote the following characters for his prescription: 晨光,夕陽,大地. Literally translation of the characters is: meditating while watching sun rise and sun set with bare-foot standing on the ground.
Six weeks after following Dr. Pan's instructions, I went back for his cancer stem-cells resonance test. He told me that my cancer had disappeared.
When he told me about that, I was still not 100% convincing. I went back to the hospital for cancer detection test. The doctor told me that my cancer was completely healed.
These 6 characters 晨光,夕陽,大地 are truly miracle. I am truly thankful for Dr. Pan's insightful treatment.
Dr. Chen's interpretation: Nature and meditation have tremendous healing power that again emphasizes mind-body interactions in self healing. In Wisconsin winter, it is not practical to stand bare-foot on the ground watching sun rise and sun set. But I know, Dr. Andrew Weil's audio and video collections have a much simpler exercise you can do at home. You can check them out in the public library too.

Cancer Treatment-- Dr. Pan's special noninvasive cancer treatment-Part 1
The attached video clips was a panel discussion in one of a Taiwanese TV channels. In this panel discussion, a Taiwanese medical doctor and cancer researcher--Dr. Pan Niang-Tsong (潘念宗) discussed cancer stem cell (幹細胞), and the so-called 10 death-cavities (死穴) in which the presence of cancer stem cell can be detected using a resonance method with the cancer stem cell culture, CD 24 and CD44. His research combines Chinese Medicine Cavity Resonance concept ( 經絡系統）and Western Stem Cells medical research. The presentation is highly technical that I have some difficulty of comprehending the technical details. However, practical applications are surprisingly simple:
1) Normal Stem cells can be transformed into cancer stem cells via aging, inflammation, virus, bacteria, and most importantly via mercury and electromagnetic wave (EMF) 。Anything that affect the brain, would also affect the transformation.
2) Cancer stem cells resides on 10 so-called death cavities (死穴) in a body and they traveled around the body through body's circulation system (經絡系統, Note 1) . The presence of the stem cells in the death cavities does not imply a person has a cancer. However, it indicates that the person has a great potential of developing cancers.
3) Conventional chemo, radiation, and surgery treatments can only eradicate cancer cells, but cannot kill the cancer stem cells.
4) Best treatments of cancer are (1) diet [vegetarian, specially with ginger, yam-tree leaves (地瓜葉), lemongrass, (2) Sleep early (bed time is 9:00 PM) and get up early (wake up time 6:00 AM), (3) Meditating through watching sunrise and sunset every morning and every afternoon with a bare foot for grounding. The so called 晨光, 夕陽, 大地.
5) Dr. Ho, a material specialist, testified that he had used Dr. Pan's method to heal his stage-3 colon cancer. He also said that minute amount of mercury is present in Taiwanese drinking water through piping and the electroplating of the appliance that is used for storing, delivering, and transport water.
6) Modern Taiwanese, probably American too, had accumulated tremendous amount of EMF (Electromagnetive Frequency Waves) via the use of cell phone, microwave, and computer. Thus, it is important for a person to conduct grounding exercise to prevent and cure cancer.
Note 1: Modern Chinese Medicine's circulation theory (絰絡系統) as proposed by Dr. Wang (王維工), a physicist turned to medical doctor) differs from conventional thinking about blood circulation. Conventional thinking about blood circulation is about the pressure drop created by the pump in the heart and about the resistance of the blood vessel. However, the Chinese Medicine circulation theory challenges this conventional thinking by arguing the fact that such a theory cannot explain the blood circulation through the blood capillaries as the resistance in the capillary would be too high. The Chinese Medicine blood circulation theory argues that within human bodies there are cavities(穴道) (from the organ or space within the organs). Those cavities like musical instruments have fundamental frequency and overtones according to a mathematical formula. Blood circulation would execute its best performance when cavity to cavity resonance having the same frequency. Those resonances are regulated by our circadian clock and by our neurotransmitter. Restoring health from a patient is to restore this type of resonance of the cavities, or the harmony of the Qi (氣)
