The Cast is Off

After breaking my wrist 5 weeks ago, they put my arm in a cast,

I learned
that there are many things that I can do with my
less dominant hand, such as tightening up my belt,
buttoning my shirt, and pulling up my fly. Over
the years since I was 12, I have been physically
practicing martial arts, biked long distances,
worked out at the gym 6 days a week, swam, snow-
and water-skied, mountain climbed, and
rollerbladed. I also spent years practicing
internal exercises, including yoga, Qi Gong, and
Tai Chi, and never broke a bone in my body. Some
say I was just lucky, but I believe it was because
I always kept in excellent shape my entire life.
My brother used to call me a health fanatic and a
workout junkie, long before the workout craze
happened in the USA. I have always put health as
number 1 in my life, and for a good reason. Our
health is our wealth! Do you k now how much money
Steven Jobs, Kirk Kerkorian, and Walt Disney left
when they died? They left it all, every single
cent they made. As long as you have your health,
you can work, make money, and have fun. But, if
you lose your health, you lose everything. That’s
why, I have dedicated my life to my health and the
health of others.

whole-bodyscan method for discovering hidden?dysfunct

Every day, I see people with a
host of dis-ease, some of it is from mental
imbalances, others suffer from toxic overload, and
a bunch of them come to?the office with
physical injuries. There is always more to
dis-ease than meets the eye. Every single dis-ease
has a multitude of?components to it, and
most doctors are only?addressing the
physical. If the medical doctor runs all the
tests, does a thorough examination, and finds
nothing, they are more than likely to?refer
you to a psychologist or a psychiatrist, and you
may be medicated unnecessarily.

The other night, I was at a party and struck up a
conversation with a group of people about health
or, should I say, sickness. We were talking about
the article in the Health & Wellness section of
the Wall Street Journal by Brandon Thibodeaux, and
here is what it said, “What if the doctor is
wrong? When a CT scan showed multiple tumors in
Dawna?Harwell’s pelvis, abdomen, and spine
in 2008, her doctors in Dallas told her she might
have ovarian cancer, which can be especially
deadly. A biopsy came back with inconclusive
results, and Ms. Harwell wasted no time in seeking
a second?opinion at MD Anderson Cancer
Center in Houston. “I went through every test in
the book,” says Ms. Harwell. Still, doctors
couldn’t be sure what she had. Finally, she
underwent a surgical procedure to diagnose her
case. It wasn’t ovarian cancer after all, but a
rare form of lymphoma. The?47-year-old ho rse
trainer in Collinsville, Texas underwent a
rigorous regimen of chemotherapy that ended last
spring. At her first six-month checkup in October,
she received a clean bill of health.”

Evidence is mounting that
second?opinions—particularly on radiology
images and?pathology slides from
biopsies—can lead to?significant changes in
a patient’s diagnosis or in recommendations for
treating a disease. Some?malignancies,
including lymphomas and rare cancers?of the
thyroid and salivary glands, are?notoriously
tricky to diagnose correctly. Test results can be
inconclusive, or return false results. After a
decade of annual mammograms, more than half of
women will receive at least one false-positive
recall on a breast cancer screening, a recent
study found. And nearly half of malpractice claims
at Harvard University’s medical institutions that
resulted in serious patient harm or death in the
past five years were diagnostic errors, according
to its liability company, Crico/RMF. Thomas Feely,
Vice-President of Medical Operations at MD
Anderson, says as many as 25 % of?patients
who arrive at the Center with diagnoses?for
certain cancers, such as lymphoma, may receive
a?different diagnosis. Overall, 3% of MD
Anderson?patients each year end up with a
significant?change that affects what
treatment they receive. “When you get cancer, the
first thing you may want?to do is jump to
get treatment with the first?person you talk
to,” Dr. Feely says. “But taking?the time to
get a second opinion about the?diagnosis you
have and a careful evaluation of?what
treatments there are can be lifesaving.”

Kim Henderson, a paralegal in Houston, came to
MD?Anderson to be treated for cervical
cancer after?being diagnosed elsewhere.
Pathologists performed?another biopsy that
revealed she had a noninvasive?precursor to
cervical cancer—and not the far more?serious
invasive type as previously
believed.?Although she still needed surgery,
her doctors?told her she could skip the
radiation and?chemotherapy that had
originally been part of the?treatment plan.
“I felt like it was a miracle and I was
spared?from this unnecessary treatment,”
says Ms.?Henderson, who had lost a sister to
cancer.

Primary care doctors can misdiagnose
common?symptoms. In a study, 202 patients
most commonly?complained about abdominal
pain, fever, fatigue, shortness of breath and
rash. Incorrect diagnoses?included: Benign
viral infection, 17%;?Musculoskeletal pain,
10%; Asthma/Chronic obstructive
pulmonary?disease, 6%;?Benign skin
lesion, 4%;?Pneumonia, 4%;?Final
correct diagnoses for patients
misdiagnosed?initially included: Cancer,
16%;?Pulmonary embolism, 6%;?Coronary
artery disease, 5%;?Aneurysm,
8%;?Appendicitis, 6%. (Source: University of
Iowa; Journal of the?American Board of
Family Medicine)?

Second opinions are important for other
diseases?as well. National Jewish Health, a
Denver medical?center, found in a study that
more than half of?patients it diagnosed with
chronic obstructive?pulmonary disease had
previously been misdiagnosed?with asthma,
leading to inappropriate treatments.

Cancer is on the rise in the United States, and
the?three traditional treatments are:
Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Surgery.
These may be the only tools that the medical
doctors have in their toolbox, but if you
can?avoid the cut, burn, and poison
treatments, you may be better off. There are way
too many misdiagnoses?these days, and
treatments are given according to?what
doctors find, no matter if it’s accurate or not.
The recovery from the treatments is a long, hard
road and could be worse than the disease itself.

I would recommend having a Computerized Regulation
Thermography (CRT) test to find out where the
imbalance is in your body first. It will give
you?information that can save your life. The
teeth are checked, and most Western doctors don’t
even think about teeth. Next, the glands, breasts,
and organs?are checked. If there is a
blockage, it will show?up on the computer
and, then, we can explore the?different
options for treatment. It could be
a?combination of both Western and
alternative?medicine, but, at least, you
will know what needs to?be treated. The test
will let you know what has to be changed?in
your lifestyle, diet, and exercise, or if you may
benefit from acupuncture, Medical Qi Gong,
herbal?medicine, or homeopathic treatments.
There is a?group called the “Best Answer for
Cancer” that uses?low-dose chemo. This is
another option.

The CRT will be a good way to find out
what’s going on from a different
perspective. It is?a safe, radiation-free,
non-invasive, painless, and cost-effective
whole-bodyscan method for discovering
hidden?dysfunctions and infections and
monitoring?treatment progress. It can see
problems?before they manifest into a
palpable mass, or health problems that
may?be irreversible.

Dr. Carola Cuenca from Santa Cruz,
California?who specializes in CRT and
natural low-dose medications will be doing the
test in my?office. All tests have to be done
in the?morning when the body is still cool;
this?only allows us to test 3 people a day.
I?highly recommend taking this opportunity
to?evaluate your immune system and to keep
you?disease-free. To schedule an appointment
for your CRT?exam, call my office now at
305-407-0120.

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth, and
Happiness!
Dr. Wu Dhi?

P.S.Dr. Cuenca will be in Miami from
October 5th to 11th. I am now?scheduling
appointments for October. Call my office and
