Visiting Aenon healthcare for 1 month

After completion of Internship in CMC, I wrote to Dr Lee, the doctor in charged in Aenon Health Farm at Tampin, and he is kind to allow me to stay in Aenon for 1 month to learn, interact and observe.

I must say my 1 month stay is rewarding and mind blowing.

1) Aenon was divided into 3 sections:

• The School - where they train post SPM student who are interested in becoming a Medical Missionary/Audio Visual Ministry. The school is accredited by Taiwan Adventist College in which it is possible to transfer your credit to TAC after completion of 2 years course in Aenon should you want to obtain a degree in TAC. The other college which accredited Aenon is Hartland College in USA.
• The Media section known as the Loud Voice Media. They do graphic design, video shooting and editing, script writing, composing and arranging music, studio recording. They have fully equiped studios, cutting edge equiptment and software. The work they do can blow your mind away!
• Finally, the health centre where sick patients comes for treatment and recuperation. 
• One more thing, there is this backyard organic farm plantation where they plants organically grown herbs, vegetables, and fruits: all staffed by Aenon students and staff from the previously mention 3 sections.

2) My reason of visiting Aenon is I am fascinated by Lifestyle Medicine which made famous by Dean Ornish, Colin Campbell, Hans Diehl and of course by the Seventh-Day Adventist Church. here and here. The old thinking is that if you live healthy, you can prevent disease. Hence it is known as the Preventive Medicine. Now, however, many realized that living a healthy lifestyle not only can prevent but can bring healing and reverse disease. Aenon is one center in Malaysia which specialized in Lifestyle Medicine. It is a non for profit organization and it is a Christian organization.

3) Patients normally comes with multiple co morbid illness like diabetes, hypertension, obesity. Dr Lee will access and examine them, and a based line blood test was done.

4) Patients will be subjected with strict healthy regime like exercise, vegetarian healthy diet, juicing, fasting, relaxation and devotional program, health talk, educational seminar, cooking class, Q&A, counseling, group support, singing and other leisure activities. They also will undergo physiotherapy treatment, hydrotherapy, infrared and fever bath.

5) Unlike many of the conventional medical center, where treatment is mainly on the physical aspect; Aenon focus also on the Social, Spiritual, Emotional and Mental dimension. Which means Aenon is more holistic in its treatment.

6) The Aenon health center archive on their patients medical records and progresses. I went through the records and I saw, cholesterol comes down, blood sugar under control, BMI comes down, blood pressure comes down,  patient off medication. It was amazing.
