Feedbacks from the Readers (2007-2009)

“I got to tell you that this book really opens up my mind to the world of food and its impact on our health. It serves like a reminder to us, the reader to be more mindful of the food that we take in our daily life which we often neglect/overlook.”

“Thank you for your e-mail. I hope you and your family is doing well. The doctors have diagnosed me with Hodgkin Lymphoma in May 2007. At first I was very scared, but now I have learnt to deal with it. Since I first wrote to you, I have changed my lifestyle and my diet. I am now seeking alternative treatments (using natural food and herbs) to fight cancer. You are right!! It's very challenging to explain to people about my choice and beliefs. Many people believe that the only solution is by going through chemotherapy. I have postponed my first treatment scheduled last Wednesday to an unknown date. I hope I have made the right decision. I know that I cannot expect to see the results overnight. However, I'm very optimistic and determined to make it work. I thank you once again for your valuable information and guidance.”

“I had the opportunity to meet with you, to hear your talk on healthy diet, to buy your book, to practise yoga and spend some time with you. How lucky I have been in this life. I send you best wishes for a happy, long and healthy life.”

“Actually, I have being practising eating for good health and fit for some time. It was way back in 1996 when my father passed away with liver cancer in 1993. I started reading on health material and got to know Dr Lai Chiu Nan. I attended her talk and bought some of her books. I like her ideas and approach. Started practising it. We are consuming organic vegetable and fruit as far as possible and avoid meat. I personally also practise fasting. (Occasionally I still consume fish). As far as possible, we do not cook meat at home but sometime my family members still insist on fish (although they still eat meat outside). They are not ready yet, so I always give way to them. I also will ask them to read your book. Hope this will build up their confidence on eating good healthy food. FYI, I faced the same thing as you mentioned in your book. I lost weight from 62 kg to 53 kg (in 2003). Now I am back to 56 kg. A lot of friends have not seen me for a long time. They always worry whether I am sick or having some sickness. Like you, I always have to explain to them what I have done and re-assure them I am healthier and fitter now.”

“Greetings from Varanashi. Today, I completed reading your book "Eating for Good Health". I have taken pretty long time because I could read few pages every day. I have enjoyed it. I strongly believe food has every thing to do with our health. That is why we are Organic. Your book has explained in simple terms every thing one should know about healthy food. Further, the story of your family with dates makes the book more appealing. There are a lot of Preachers. But almost all do not practise. You preach what you practise. That adds the weight to your words.”

“For your information, I do take care of my health especially the types of food I take but I am not a vegetarian. I like to keep healthy and avoid taking medicine whenever necessary. I prefer organic or herbal supplements rather than chemical supplements. Your book will definitely enhance my understanding about healthy food.”

“Hi, Good morning Dr. Lim. Just want to express my thankfulness to you. I learnt a lot of healthy living practices from your previous health seminars. If your seminar is to be conducted in Johore (or other states too), please keep us informed via e-mail, so we can spread news to our friends. Maybe, we can conduct such seminar at PLKN National Service camp. When you are coming down to Johore Baru? Keep us informed, we are keen to attend your health seminar””

“I had the good opportunity to sit with your wife during your talk today. Your talk today was better than the one I first listened to when PWFRIM organised the last time in 2004. Maybe because you had more experience now and you had your books as your testimonials. I think the response was very good. There were so many outsiders and they asked the most questions. Well done Dr Lim, carry on enlightening others. The organic shop had a good sale. The owner must be so happy. TQ for the enlightening and informative talk.”

“Thank for that insightful talk. Much is gained and rethought about our diet habits at home and outside. Thank you once again for sharing with us your knowledge and experience. God Bless and have a wonderful Labour's Day Weekend.”

“My 86-year-old mother, with whom I live, and I plan to read your health book at the same time today so that we can discuss what we read in the light of our own experience. We shall retain one copy for our household and pass one copy each to my brothers who both live nearby. .. I shall let you have our feedback as soon as we finish reading the book. I appreciate what you have done and share many of your views. We need to make good decisions about diet, exercise, weight-control, use of chemicals and other aspects of our life if we want to enjoy good health. And, equally important, we need to share what we know with others in order to enable them to make informed choices too. As you point out, the focus should be on prevention rather than cure that too needs to be addressed at the appropriate time. I shall be happy to tell my relatives and friends about your books once I have read it. I am sure I shall be getting in touch with you again to purchase additional copies in the weeks ahead. Once again let me congratulate you on your work and thank you for your willingness to share your insights with others. May God bless you and your family at all times. May you all continue to enjoy good health.”

“My friend's father has just gone for an operation at GH to remove CA in his brain. It's stage 4. The family is so confused on what to do after the operation. He was at Sentosa Hosp but later was transferred to GH. Sentosa has no neuro expert. They had to rely on a specialisit from Tawakal. They didn't even dare to operate but proposed radiation and chemo. The GH Dr mentioned radiation but said he has to recover first. I would like to give her your book. Maybe they have a better idea on what to eat although she sounded not optimistic. TQ.
