Nazlan's Field of Dreams...Through Mind Control

Like my wife, I’m also a Silva graduate. I took Basic I & II in July 2006.

It has been 3 years now since my oncologist first told me in December 2003 that I only had 35% chance to live the next 5 years. Currently, I feel just fine and God willing, I will still be alive and kicking when my doctor’s predicted time frame runs out.

To me, the Silva Method’s mind control system is the single most powerful tool that I have used in healing my own body - through the use of my mental faculty. It is beyond logic.

I wanted to share my experience in using Silva’s mind control system, so I wrote a testimony for Silva Method Malaysia.

Nazlan.


Colon Cancer Averted
June, 2006

I heard of the Silva program from my dentist who knew of my colon cancer. For sometime I responded only mildly to her suggestion. It was only after my second cycle of chemotherapy that I considered browsing the web site of the Silva Method and began to take a serious look into the possibilities of an alternative and holistic cure.

I was fortunate to have been blessed with a strong will, and amidst many negative comments and insinuations from peers and friends, some of whom are doctors, I persisted to find out more and to attend the program. After attending the program, I started going to my ‘level’ (alpha level) at least twice a day. I would subconsciously locate my cancerous region and feel the blood in my veins carrying the grace of the Higher Intelligence and bombarding the cancer cells, replacing them with new healthy cells. I say to myself that I am being constantly renewed and re-energized, and I can actually feel the effect of pins and needles at the very tips of my limbs. Through these sensations, I know that the exercise is working.

Each time as I was about to leave the ‘level’, I would affirm to myself that I am wide-awake, feeling better than ever before, and in perfect health.

Apart from that, I also began to see life in a positive manner, treating problems and difficulties as blessings and lessons to be learnt. Through the programs, I have also learnt to overcome stressful emotions. My quality of life, both physical and emotional, have definitely improved, and it’s hard to imagine that only recently I was a cancer patient. I have found a better way of praying through the Silva technique by improving my ‘khusuk’ or focus.

Right after my operation to remove my colon tumor, my doctor told me I have a 35% chance of living the next five years. That was in 2003. I told him that if God wills it, I will see him again, in the pink of health, in five years time and beyond. I feel that everyday, I am filled with renewed strength and energy, and I carry on being positive and enjoy the goodness and miracle of life.

“I have found a better way of praying through the Silva technique….”

A Beautiful Mind…Hafidzah Experience on Mind Control

I took the Silva Method course in July 2005 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. As a Silva graduate, my increasing level of mental faculties is used to help others.

Using mind control as an alternative lifestyle skill, Nazlan and I managed to overcome many mental and physical obstacles in our daily lives, especially from the health view point.

Below is a testimony I’ve prepared for Silva Method Malaysia using my experience as a case study.

How Do I Explain Miracles?
June, 2006

I heard of the Silva Method from my husband who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in July 2005. I have been practicing spiritual healing long before I joined the Silva Method, since I am from a family of spiritual healers. After attending the Silva programs, I started to heal my husband and others in need by using their systematic methods combining verses of the Al-Quran, and visualization/meditation techniques that we had learnt. Now, my husband too has been healing others in need using similar methods.

When healing people, it is important to understand the anatomy of the body and how our body systems work. For example, when someone has a problem in their stomach, we visualize the biological connections of the stomach with other parts of the body. One case in point was my own experience. Before I joined the Silva Method, I had a problem with my lower-right wisdom tooth where it was growing horizontally instead of vertically and I finally had it removed in May 2005, costing me RM2,000! Recently, when my lower-left wisdom tooth faced the same problem, I used the visualization technique to remove it through `laser surgery’ and voila! The tooth was just not there anymore. Astonishingly, I then felt the familiar post-surgery pain for about a week, then similarly, the pain subsided and I couldn’t feel or see anymore of the tooth. How do I then explain this miracle?

Another case in point. My younger brother suffered from long-term memory loss since 1994, at 21 yrs of age. That year, he was supposed to enroll into the International Islamic University for a degree in Economics. He never did. I then recently used the meditation technique combined with Al-Fathihah and other surah in the Al-Quran after my prayers. This I did twice a day for every day. After about 1 month, one fine day while we were having tea with the family, Dad asked us if anyone had remembered the registration number of one of our old Proton Saga family car, [one of Dad’s eccentric hobby was to have the family car changed for every year of our lives and we had on the last count used 49 cars….], and out of the blue my brother uttered in his soft voice the exact number first time! Every one of us looked at each other…speechless! As ordinary as this may sound to you, but as you can imagine, this was indeed a significant event to have happened to us lately. My brother can now drive a car [unthinkable just a few months ago] and has enrolled himself in GiatMARA, a local college, for a course in IT.

Then, there’s my eldest sister. She used to be an introvert, cold and snobbish, even to our own parents. She has now transformed into a friendly and warm person; she’d never kiss my parents but she now have and are doing so routinely; she’s never hugged or shaken my hands for 37 years of my life but she does so now. Again, how do I explain these miracles?

The biggest impact on my Silva Method training has to be in my career. As architects, my husband and I were once asked to conduct a presentation to the Prime Minister on a major impact public project. On the night before, I had my mind synchronized in the same frequency as the PM’s, and visualized that he understood the project and the benefits it can generate to Malaysians. What actually happened the following day was surreal…… 90% of the presentation was just like what I had visualized! And again, how do I explain this miracle?

“90% of the presentation was just like what I had visualized!”

The Natural 1AlternativeMedicines.com at the 4th Asia-Pacific Natural Product Expo 2007, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Y.B Tan Sri Dato' Haji Muhyiddin Mohd Yassin & wife

This was our maiden exhibition and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves networking with our fellow exhibitors, VIPs (including Y.B. TAN SRI DATO’ HAJI MUHYIDDIN BIN MOHD. YASIN Minister Of Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry), trade exhibitors and the general public.

We also had good fun presenting our short talk on ‘Top Secret - How I Got Cancer’, and although there was tepid response, those who did attend did not regret our talk for they were captivated and learnt first hand how they can battle cancer from the view of a cancer survivor - that’s me!

Our close friends; (LEFT) Datin Nursiah, representative from the National Council of Woman Organisation (NCWO), (CENTRE) Johan & Khatijah from Cancer Care Subang Jaya, and (RIGHT) VIPs from Malaysian Industry-Government for Higher Technology (MIGHT), also one of Akitek Rekabina Sdn Bhd (our architectural practice) client.

If you want to know more yourself, be sure to blog in a request as my wife will be organizing a monthly cancer support group talk. This is in response to the many individual enquiries that we have been getting lately - on what I have been doing to survive my cancer.

We have a lot to share, priceless information and remedial measures that I’m taking to beat cancer in a holistic manner, and the best part of this is - it’s free! We won’t charge anything for the story of my life so far. Only thing we ask of you is to come in with an open mind - we are certain you’ll leave us with a warm glow in your heart… God bless, and take care.

Natural Alternatives to the 12 Dangerous Prescription Drugs

“Drugs are a big business. Last year, aggressive marketing and sales rang up revenues of more than $100 billion dollars for the top 12 pharmaceutical companies. Rimland, who has long questioned the benefits of heavily promoted pharmaceuticals, refers to them as "sub-lethal doses of toxic substances" that kill an estimated 150,000 Americans each year. Rimland also likes pointing out that the 3,000-page Physicians Desk Reference, a compendium of prescription drugs, would probably be only about 100 pages long if all the drug side effects, warnings, and contraindications were deleted. That's an example, he says, of how dangerous prescription and OTC drugs are.

In contrast, natural therapies, which include vitamin and mineral supplements and herbal remedies, can often do the job of drugs, but with greater safely and at a lower cost. Vitamins and minerals also play roles in normal biochemistry and maintaining, so they're less likely to cause side effects. "You don't get a headache because you have an aspirin deficiency," Rimland quips.” – Jack Challem, The Nutrition Reporter™

It is because of this that 1AlternativeMedicineS.com was formed; in order to discuss safe, effective methods of treating illnesses and relieving their symptoms without harsh chemicals that can cause unfavorable side effects.

Our suggestions to replace the 12 prescription drugs:

Acne – Replace Accutane with high fibre colon cleanser + Zinc + Vitamin A, E, and B6.
Cholestrol – Replace Baycol & Crestor with nattokinase (soy enzymes, a natural blood clot dissolver) + red yeast + pollen.
Pain – Brain control pain! Replace Bextra, Celebrex & Vioxx with food rich with tryptophan (protein that release serotonin, a powerful chemical in the brain that blocks pain) such as chicken, cheese, eggs, halibut, peanuts, peanut butter, milk & soybeans; + vitamins that strengthen brain such as Vitamin A,B C & E, magnesium, selenium, lecithin, phosphatidylserine, acetyl 1-carnitine, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, and phenylalanine.
Weight loss – Replace Fen Phen with high fibre colon cleanser + Vitamin A, E, C & B + aloe vera + garlic + exercise 30 mins. per day.
HRT – Replace Prempro & Premarin with phytoestrogens (a plant compounds similar to human estrogen to combat the effects of hormonal changes) food and herbs such as soy, nuts, whole grain, pueraria lobata, dong quai, etc.
Diabetes – Replace Rezulin with high fibre raw diet to control blood glucose level + nattokinase (dissolve blood clots) + pollen (lowers the LDL cholesterol level).
Depression – Replace Serzone & Zyprexa with Silva Mind Method (dynamic meditation for self healing).
