Dr. Jimmy Galvez Tan and healthy lifestyle tips

PERSPECTIVE - Cherry Piquero Ballescas - The Philippine Star

Despite his very busy schedule in Japan, as a visiting research fellow at the Research Institute of Humanity and Nature (RIHN) based in Kyoto, Dr. Jaime “Jimmy” Galvez Tan,  our friend and everyone's doctor (host of Salamat Doc of ABS CBN and the radio program entitled Doctor's Orders from Monday to Saturday 8 to 830am Manila time), shared his precious time last weekend to visit us in Tsukuba, Japan and to meet Filipinos who consulted him about their ailments.

With his kind permission, may we share with you his scorecard for a healthy lifestyle: 1. Sleep - do you sleep for 8 hours every night in complete darkness? 2. Exercise or physical activity - do you walk daily for at least 20 to 30 minutes? 3. Love and Forgiveness - do you manifest “to love and be loved” by your family, have you forgiven and asked for forgiveness especially from your spouse, children, siblings and in-laws, other relatives and friends? 4. Stillness. Do you pray? Do you practice stillness and silence for at least 20 to 30 minutes a day? 5. Embrace. Are you embraced daily or do you allow yourself to be embraced by loved ones for at least a minute? Do you allow yourself to be touched? (“HaplosHilot” or touch therapy is a healing essential) 6. Laughter. Do you smile and laugh? Do you watch happy movies, TV shows, listen to happy music or music that elicits happiness in your heart? Have you stopped watching sad and violent movies and TV show and news? 7. Friends. Do you maintain friendship with a core of true friends? Do you allow visits, or calls or do you call on friends for prayers, good positive thoughts and messages of caring? 8. Food, have you given up animal meat? Do you eat more organic fruits and vegetables and deep sea fish? Have you given up shells and crustaceans? alcohol? 9. Positive thinking. Do you declare and recite affirmation statements everyday such as “I am happy!” “I am healthy!” “I am prosperous” “I am healed” “I am completely healed” “I am miraculously healed” “So be it, so be it, so be it!” These words take only 10 second to say. 10. Physical Health. What is your waist circumference at the level of the navel? (Ideally, 35 inches or below).

Doc Jimmy also shared these additional practical tips to acquire a healthy lifestyle on a daily basis: 1. Do meal planning good for every week or every 2 weeks;2. Plan your 16-hour “awake” schedule and your regular time to sleep to complete 8 hours of darkness. Regularity of schedules is the best daily routine; 3. Create a daily “to do” list. Write your affirmation statements daily in a notebook; 4. Ask a family member or a friend to be with you in doing all these. Let them act as your coach and cheerleader.  Give thanks to God for each day that comes and continue to ask for blessings, protection and miracle.

Doc Jimmy also shared his natural chemotherapy, which consists of the following, all to be taken daily: 1. Five best spices against cancer - turmeric (luyangdilaw), black pepper, ginger,garlic and onions; 2.Five best fruits against cancer - papaya, pineapple, guyabano, guava and bananas; 3. Five best vegetables against cancer - dark green leafy vegetables especially talbosngkamote, malunggay, dahonngsili, saluyot, uray or colitis (amaranth); 4. Five best foods against cancer - honey, natural vinegar, virgin coconut oil, soya milk or soya protein, roasted toasted sesame seeds; and, 5. Five best sources of carbohydrates against cancer - red rice or brown rice, whole boiled corn, whole wheat, whole cereals and root crops (kamote, kamotengkahoy, gabi, ube). All these should, at best be, organic.

Thank God for special doctors like Jimmy! He was our Undersecretary of Health before and can you imagine how much he can share for our people if he becomes Secretary of Health?
