Mrs. Bambang, Linus Pratama Regency, Blok C4, No. 6, Cileungsi, Bogor

I am a 40 year old housewife with two children.  The eldest is a student at  a hotel management academy and the youngest a high school student.  My beloved husband  is a Menara Batavia employee.  Two and a half years ago,  I was affected by  a health disorder that was quite disturbing and subjected me to stress.  After only walking or working a little bit,  I would feel exhausted, tired. Even more disturbing  were the rash and cold sweat pouring forth, so that I had to change my  dress almost hourly. Read the rest of this entry »

Ibu Sri (40 yrs), Ancol Selatan, North Jakarta

My suffering had gone on for two years.  Each time after consuming salted fish or drinking soda containing beverages, swellings appeared on my body.  Sometimes these swellings appeared without any apparent reason on face and body.  This happened at least once a week.  It will disappear when  I take Lasic, a drug that promotes the excretion of urine and help reduce the swelling in the stomach.

Luckily, my niece, Lucy happened to hear about my suffering.  Lucy, a customer of Ibu Ning’s mahkota dewa concoction, persuaded me to try it.  Ibu Ning gave me a concoction of mahkota dewa and alang-alang roots. Read the rest of this entry »

Fikki (7 yrs), Jl. Media Blok XX No. 19 Kompl. Harapan Baru, Taman Bunga, Suka Tani-Cimanggis, Depok

Seeing him, people would never believe that Fikki, our only child, so active and lively,  had just recovered from a disease that nearly caused us to loose hope.  They would not believe that our son  not so long ago   ceased the “tradition” of going in and out of hospitals and visiting doctors and  paranormals, after three years of struggling with a  deathly disease.  They would never suspect him at this young age to have endured such a bitter experience.

Endang Triyanto (54 yr) Wisma Angkasa N 51 Kemayoran, North Jakarta

“God, why cannot these sores on both my feet  heal ?  Why cannot all the medicines  the doctor prescribed  and I have tried  yield results? “ I moan and complain almost daily.

I complain because I am suffering and am embarrassed.  Imagine,  having these sores on three places, left foot, right food and  index finger.  Every day I must bandage my feet and then hide them behind socks, and I must also bandage my finger.  Being plump ads to the burden of my feet.  The doctor informed me that my disease is called gangrene.  It is caused by diabetes that I  have suffered over a long period of years.  Though I routinely take the medicine that the doctor prescribed,  my blood glucose level remains high.

Gita Aprianti (9 yrs),  Jakarta

We have three children, all girls.  The eldest is married, the second a university student, and the youngest  an  elementary school student.  We would like to have a son, but God Almighty did not granted us one.

Around November 2002, when Gita fell ill, we were shocked and panicked when the doctor told us that our child was stricken by thalassemia, a genetically determined defect of hemoglobin synthesis, associated with hepatosplenomegaly.  To overcome  this disease, Gita would require blood transfusions all her life.  When the time came for the blood transfusion, Gita would become faint and deathly pale.  After transfusion, she looked healthy and cheerfully lively like other children her age.  Yet two weeks later  she would look pale again.   We diligently went to and fro hospitals for the sake of our beloved child’s recovery.  Gita may not tire herself.  So I asked her sports teacher that she be excused  from physical exercises for the time being.  The teacher understood my child’s condition.
