 We are only halfway through in this very informative conversation. It's not often that you wake up to find somebody who has fought this killer disease. We all know the minute that say word is mentioned, sometimes it translates to done and that's not the case. Because Nana is here to walk us through her own journey and to tell us how to be able to prevent this, what to do if you have it and also create that awareness. Aka the advocacy because people need to know. So Nana, walk us through once again. It's like you're throwing the net into the society. I want you to just go through everything in your mind because at this point we're sitting on this other side and we must be educated by a person like you. And like I said earlier, it took that big sacrifice. There's a reason why God had already drawn. She's going to be the best sales woman and she's going to have this thing going on and she's going to rise above it and she's going to teach so many people and also the work you're doing. 68 people in 4-5 months, that's not easy. Not especially if you just come out of it. So walk us through that. Let me talk first to the people who are in it now. People who have just been diagnosed or the ones who are fighting. I'm just here to encourage all of you that cancer is curable. You don't have to die in that wilderness. Win in your mind first. Take care of you. Self love. Accept people to help you and then you will be good. Listen to what the doctors have to say. Tafadali. Gata press. Lock your ears. Cancer is cancer. Cancer is lido moreen. Chemotherapy is lido. The therapy is lido. And lido for lido. Please don't be lying to that you can heal cancer with this and go to hospital. You have to do what the doctors are telling you. Those other people who are guiding you are not experts. They know nothing. So eat well. Take your medication. Buy some food supplement and they are guided by your oncologist. And then one year and they do mitishamba. It is the aloe vera. It is the rosemary leaves. It is all these things around us everywhere. Once in a while take those things and you will be healed. And believe that God is going to heal you. Those are the people who I need. The ones who have just been diagnosed accept. First it starts with you. Tafadali. Accept that you are sick. This is a very serious disease because it is system fighting system. You are going to pass through very tough patches. It is a very rough journey. It is tedious. It is a financial devourer because even the diet when it changes it is not cheap. You will never be the same again. So accept that. And when you accept all these things then it becomes very easy to heal. We have amazing oncologist in this country. Let me tell you. Amazing doctors we just have to listen. And families I am begging of you support your patients. Take people to hospital. Cancer see uchawi. Cancer see lana. Cancer see ati people being cast. Tafadali. And actually Maureen all those people are not taking their patient to hospital. If you come across me you know I am going to sue you for human rights violation. Take people to hospital. And even the families who are picking patients because I know them especially where I come from I am still coming for you. You have to take people to hospital. And this is a must. Then you guys why are you telling people that cancer is never healed? And it is not cured. Are you uncorred? And why are you even telling people that? Can you please stop? You know why people don't come out many people like us. So not people are getting healed. But they are scared. Because when I tell Maureen I am in total remission like cancer Iponagi. What are you telling me? That is so sad. Stigmat. And then also employers you know also that is a huge problem. When someone gets case of cancer what actually is the cause of the disease who don't do it they can't touch you. You are not an island. You know people get chased away like me now when you go to get look for work when I say things you are liability you know like you are you know what I mean it is so wrong. Society needs to stop stigmatization because it can happen to me Maureen it can happen to me cancer can't touch it doesn't have boundaries. Then the aftermath let me tell you why I am here even you Maureen we even don't know each other but I am begging you please Maureen what are you telling me? What are you telling me? What are you telling me? That is the end of SSI Mambozilla weza ni nazo what are you telling me? What are you telling me? because it is a very painful disease let me tell you Maureen cancer art and I actually wanted you to touch on that because I have heard so many people saying it's a very painful disease could you just give us a glimpse of that? Chemodera pay Chemodera pay is very painful this is a combination of diseases which doctors don't even understand you can imagine treatment you are nails your body becomes let me tell you it is a very painful experience which you don't even wish you are worst enemy to go through you don't so please Chemodera pay is not easy those medicines even thereafter they are not easy like me now I am going on therapy for 10 years it is not easy it is not cheap please don't let yourself go there then the therapy is not cheap it is not also easy Maureen it erones you know it is like Chemodera pay ni kama ni literally killing you to rebuild you afresh because they can't separate the cancer cells but all of them so the process is extremely difficult the symptoms aftermath is extremely difficult please people let's take care of ourselves because the generic cancers are only 5% this is where people are born with maybe no suppressors tumor suppressors have been damaged by this or the other it is only 5% because if you go back kitambo up in our times or our parents time this thing was not so but now it is so rampant which is wrong Maureen it is us human beings who are doing everything wrong when you go to farmers the best times they are using killing people in the out when you come to us what are we eating you know and why is this generation drinking as if there is no tomorrow that is also a problem I have people are no longer taking care of themselves sorry Nana it is important also to note how much not just the drinking how much poisonous drinks people are being given out there or we are being given out there we all know about these fake drinks I can only imagine if actual alcohol can do that to the body what about this sewage you talked about that one has stuck I am looking at everything and I am like sewage sewage everywhere I don't even know how to answer you because I am also thinking this alcohol thing is a big problem because alcohol because those things you are doing is equal to pure uric acid and you know now what happens to the body when your body is full of uric acid it will have to take it somewhere thank you and then when your body is so full of acid what happens anything can thrive then you are stressed when you are stressed there is an hormone which is being produced in your body called cortisol fights your immune system imagine you are drinking you are eating so badly you are stressed this is a combination literally poisoning your body from all ends so what are you doing to your body and look after mat look at me at 42 and I am having all these side the big M look at the way I am having hot flashes but this is because of the treatment and the therapy and you know this treatment most of them the chemotherapy makes most of the people barren like it is so ya ni Maureen this disease is so out wrenching if people could just understand then all of us will wake up as I said collective responsibility Maureen this is your body this is the only place you live in you have no any other body take care of it listen to the experts the doctors listen to the nutritionists you know and then follow instructions it is simple my dear then let us help others who are in need we are a community where we need to help others because cancer is a big problem even to our economy Maureen can you imagine every year we are losing 37,000 people if you divide that by 12 it is around 3,800 people per month what is that doing to our human resource and those are they are usually at the highest peak of their productivity that makes a lot of sense you understand even as we all bury our ends thinking that what is this doing even to our economy you understand it is a big problem now let me come to NHLF all of you Kenyans where we asla where we nani make sure your NHLF can is updated NHLF can is a real deal breaker please make sure your NHLF can is updated what are the preventive measures Maureen please eat well I told you the needs to avoid actually na na sorry let me just out of curiosity I am giving I want to be very realistic in terms of our resources yes we are in a tropical country we are very blessed especially with organic foods in terms of preventing we know exactly what to avoid as of this point but even new at home what are these foods that you are able to access and what now it's like ok stop that but then what else what can you do I know where you are thinking they know where you want to stand actually no actually let me tell you if there is somebody who does not fight education in fact I want to know what I am going to throw out and what I am going to introduce so let's take it from there so many people when I tell them with pregnancy say maureen let me ask you look at drama look at washi look at pumpkin but look at green bananas which are everywhere look at scarvers which are everywhere you understand look at green bananas look at green bananas ok between that tea and that porridge which is cheaper we just need to open our minds more broadly and think about the automaton think about the automaton my dear you cannot be passing kusava there and saying what are you going to eat this are things which are affordable they are everywhere I am telling you the truth it's only that we don't want to think broadly and we don't want to accept we are making excuses ok fine you can't afford drama and minding true am I there and let me ask you between you are frying there in your house and then go and then beans I mean those black beans we have menji we have command we have variety and it's true and it's very tasty thank you what about those cabbage cabbage is so good you can't afford cabbage you can't afford cabbage tell me how many Kenyans can't afford cabbage guys come on we have a whole variety and please don't tell me at your full of pest signs and I will tell you I have a solution for everything so please don't give me those excuses at the owner ok fine you hit then you have aloe vera aloe vera I'm telling you the truth this is you can't give us medicine everywhere the only problem we have is that we are too lazy to think we are too lazy to go that extra mile you don't want to go that extra mile to go and tuna those rosemary leaves and jamusha them and take them because also of the taste and because also your twit tooth is only guiding you to these other sweet things let me tell you those things guys and please I know Kenyans the way they were even on my social media pages because every day I wake up to teach people every day of my life on my social media pages on our organization pages on Facebook, Twitter Instagram, LinkedIn this information I'm talking and more and more because I'm working a lot with cancer research scientists I'm working with oncologists and all these doctors chemical engineers people who have knowledge about trees all these people are working with them to help us but people in but are you taking action Maureen and even I want to take it as a challenge to you Maureen today I know you have take one thing mind ya kamaoja too na please urana okia na iwi unafikiri and think about the pain I went through because if I show you my toes up to date 4 months down the line you understand I don't want any of you I tell people I'm a general and general rest when the old troop members are safe and you are my troop and because I'm here talking about it please listen 2.1% of what I'm teaching you move with it and don't tell me what I want people who have been eating well and they are safe excuse even excuses and ignorance let us play our part and then God will also play our part and this is not a blame on government Maureen it is not a blame on our parent or our anything it is our responsibility to take care of ourselves and please one more thing those who have been eating well those who have been drinking well please make sure you have lemon and watermelon those are power powerful fruits why they have a very high pH so every morning like me what I wake up and do I wake up squeeze pure lemon with no water and take 2 tbsp that thing it neutralizes those cancer cells faster than chemotherapy my goodness and please don't tell me lemon doesn't have acidity it is your body which is sick yes I love the fact that you mentioned that because a lot of people say it is your body which is sick watermelon is a power fruit Maureen how much is watermelon watermelon is everywhere even at 10 it is true kula watermelon then drink water be the doctor of your own and then research want to know it is not being useless things you take to kagadou room you need to burn I am telling you research on these which are valuable to you especially if you are 30 you are no longer a child it is your responsibility to take care of yourself I have told you 2 fruits if you mess up the news I said watermelon and lemon is a power fruit that breakfast alternated with mkwashi mkwashi is a power fruit the sweet potatoes they are powerful but for me these things my dear friends and when we are able to conquer a thing of diet then other things will believe you me I honestly didn't know how this conversation was going to go but I am so grateful that you are actually touching on actual things that even if you are at your lowest you should be able to prevent because of the we are blessed with resources as a country especially we have very taste for food and personally I am actually thinking wait a minute I can afford these things how come the shopping list looks a bit different now I know from next time in fact I am going to do a note on my fridge order these sweet potatoes domas and think about it it is actually very delicious food thank you very the beans the organic the deguz the yellow beans you know and teach your children to eat these things teach your children these children they look at what you are doing sorry guys then they do as we tell so let us be a society which is willing and intentional to do the things the right way intentionality to do the right thing yes and intentional about preventive measures because they are more cheaper as compared to creative measures very very true you can imagine how these people are helping I now have a list of 120 out of 120 we have only covered 65 and these others imagine they are just at home maintaining cancer with pattern to end all this because they cannot afford treatment they cannot afford to pay for NHIR and we cannot prevent this thing we cannot prevent this thing trust you and everybody like you said anyone is susceptible it can come and take you no matter what so I really really think that it is just incredible that you are putting that across exactly what is your general message to the entire community in terms of support system and I feel like you really spoken so well on preventive measures you also mentioned your support system is what kept you going but what is the one message you can tell people in one minute please eat well eat well it is the only body you live in eat well number two support your sick people relatives friends support them make sure they go to hospital the treatment for cancer are different but they are normally for these are the four processes there is a sanjari mostly there is a chemotherapy there is a red therapy then there is maybe a monotherapy if it is a mono related maybe for women the reconstruction so make sure when your people get sick when you go to those oncologists that ask questions make sure you understand what you are going through and what you are being given for what also another thing if you allow me I will really hanch our people the corporates both internationally to help us because this is an organization in the cancer health initiative is an organization with a big vision and all of you can see what you are doing is to support us with resources right now we have a fund caravan for these people support us with a little actually now I am saying in 264 the BXC patient is a KG of Degu and one packet of Ugani that is one of 5 sheet list and 155 it is 260 that is a million if I get 510 here we feel so many families in the slums in our communities please support us follow us on our social media pages we have needycancerhealthinitiative.org that is our website on LinkedIn we have needycancerhealthinitiative on Twitter we are needycancerhealthinitiative we have needycancerhealthinitiative on Facebook we are needycancerhealthinitiative and on Instagram we are still needycancerhealthinitiative we have everything here our phone number for the office we have our email we have our staff on the standby then me personally because I am very enthusiastic about this follow me I am very very active on Facebook every day I wake up to teach you guys the information you are going to buy I am bringing it from nutrition to everything to where you go when you get sick to even those relatives of yours you are looking in the house give them to me I will pay for the NHS and take them to hospital right now I have a couple of them even I am going to see them now which are benefitting from our program so please let us step in for each other to be a people who are human to humanity because people don't believe or remember us because of what we have it is what we made other people feel or what we do for other people and I want to tell all of us when you are helping those sick people those oppressed cancer patients there is no gesture of kindness which goes to waste thank you so much I feel very challenged I feel very well informed indeed what you are doing it is not free but it is actually worth so much more because if I can prevent I won't have to go through that process I won't have to go through that pain I won't have to stop my life in order to get the treatment I won't have to die even go through the aftermath of cancer treatment and we thank you for what you're doing we'll be happy to support where we can challenge I'll check you out on social media and I'm going to soldier behind you thank you Nana wow guys if this is not the moment we say whatever Nana is offering us people pay for millions together we saw the other day somebody who was trying to treat cancer the last year and he said he spent 3 million dollars that's almost half a billion kenya shillings but what Nana is giving you is literally at nothing and she is redirecting you how can you avoid getting there if you have a story similar to that a story that can inspire inform educate please share with us on Y254 here and we'll be happy to host you until next time good night and happy holidays the final part of the show
