Lau Siu King Testimonial by Eve Chan (daughter)My mom was diagnosed with bile duct cancer that had spread to her liver. Doctors said it was inoperable and that chemotherapy wasn't an option. Through a friend’s introduction, we sought Serg’s help. He provided valuable dietary recommendations and a menu for us to follow. My mom completely changed her diet, and after nine months, a PET scan revealed no signs of cancer. Four years later, she is still doing well!

Personal Background
In 1987, Mina was diagnosed with Stage IV ovarian cancer that had metastasized to her liver, bones, and lymphatic system, and she was given just two months to live. Choosing to decline chemotherapy and radiation, Mina researched alternative options and adopted the Macrobiotic way of life and healing diet. Six and a half months later, the cancer stopped spreading, and a year later, she was declared cancer-free.
In 2024, Mina celebrated her 82nd birthday surrounded by the love of friends and family, a testament to her resilience and commitment to natural health. She is a 35-year cancer survivor to date.
Her story is further detailed in her autobiographical book, My Beautiful Life, which eloquently explains not only how she recovered from cancer but also how terminal illness can be prevented through diet and a simple philosophy of living in harmony with nature.
