Healing ourselves and planet earth
Sharing our life experiences, sharing our inspirations
Preventive measures - prevention is better than cure
Caring for self, others and the environment

In 2004, we introduced a new project – Holistic Support for People affected by Cancer (HSPC). HSPC aims to help adult and pediatric cancer patients and their families develop an overall lifestyle that enables them to fight cancer and prevents deterioration of the disease. This life-affirming program gives cancer patients valuable skills designed to enhance, not replace, conventional treatment programs and disease management.

HSPC, based at Holistic Lifestyle Centre, provides a safe and supportive environment for patieats and their family and friends to achieve a higher quality of living and get the best chance to extend life. In a way, this program helps patients fight to get well. In time, patients will react better to conventional medical treatment. Studies have shown that patients with a changed lifestyle and diet, consistently live longer than those who use medical treatment alone. Equally important is the fact that HSPC members report a higher quality of life.

Currently we are providing the following supportive activities for our HSPC members:

Gift of Good Food Scheme – GGFS
Gift of Good Food Scheme is an outreach to cancer sufferers and survivors. Since May 2003, all cancer sufferers and suriivors whether rich or poor, can participate in our program.

A stressful lifestyle and inappropriate diet can impair our health. Our volunteers deliver organic vegetables and other food to registered members island-wide on a weekly basis, encouraging and supporting them to change to contaminant-free healthy diet. Sponsorship for organic vegetables is available for cancer suffevers and survivors who need financial assistance.

HSPC Beginner’s Class –
Organic farm visit (Tour) & Know Your Goodie Pack (Workshop)
It is highly recommended that HSPC members who are in GGFS to attend a ‘Beginner’s Class’. The Tour is very educational and gives a good appreciation of locally grown organic vegetables and how these contaminant-free produce can help restore our health.

The Workshop can either be combined with the Tour, or organized separately at HLC. It explains the variety of organic vegetables that members normally receive and their proper usage for both healthy and anticancer diets. Depending on the availability of manpower, we aim to organize the Tour and Workshop at least once every three months.

Home Visits
Volunteer-Befrienders make frequent visits to cancer patients and survivors in diverse home situations, with the goal of understanding their trials, needs and experiences in the course of their recovery. Armed with useful knowledge and sincerity, we strive to achieve some semblance of sharing and caring through warmth, friendship and love by our combined efforts.

Free Consultation Services
Counseling is often an important part of the recovery process, especially for those under mental and emotional stresses and those having difficulties coping with various life issues. Cancer patients, survivors and their families are welcome to take advantage of the expertise of trained consultants / therapists. This service is strictly by appointment only.
