I met Wadia on March 23rd, 2009, shortly after I visited my brother in Hong Kong who has cancer. She had been going for treatment and receiving home care from her mother and her sister. I was invited to her home because she was looking for a cleaning service on a weekly basis to help out with the house work so her mother and sister could focus more on caring for her.
She was a very upbeat person, except she looked a little tired. You would not know Wadia had been battling cancer for 2 years. As usual, I sat down with her on the sofa, listening to her story about why they needed the service and how she wanted certain items to be done. As it turned out, Wadia found a lump 2 years ago and was diagnosed with breast cancer - it was already at the end stage. Being the youngest in her family, the news devastated everyone around her. For the longest time, the family could not accept the news but Wadia had a high spirit. She looked at it as, "living with cancer," not dying with cancer. What a beautiful way of looking at life!
I shared with her why Clean4Me supports Cleaning For A Reason to donate free cleanings or discounted cleaning services to women cancer patients. My own father died of cancer at the age of 69 and now my brother, at age 42, is also suffering with cancer. Not only did I provide insights about how to maintain a clean house but I also shared some nutrition information with her. We talked for 2 hours and shared notes. I still remember she described my visit as being a, “visit by an angel,” for what we do for cancer patients.
We started cleaning her house on a weekly basis. Once in a while, I would call her to see how she was doing and to provide encouragement to her. In September, the family called to cancel the service because they were moving to a condo. I called shortly after and learned that Wadia had passed away.
It is sad to see her go but I am glad that we were with her to the end of her journey. By taking over her household cleaning tasks, it allowed her family have more quality time with her and to provide better care for her.
We were with her until the end but she will be with us always. I still remember her face and her smile...

Top 10 Best Ways to Prevent H1N1 Swine Flu
Here are our top 10 tips to boost your immunity, stay healthy, and prevent H1N1 Swine Flu this flu season.
1. Optimize your vitamin D level. Adequate levels of vitamin D are essential for our immune systems to function optimally.
2. Get adequate sleep. This is an indispensable requirement for a strong immune system.
3. Get adequate exercise. This keeps you robust.
4. Take actions to lower your stress levels. Do breathing exercises, meditate, practice yoga, spend time doing something that makes you happy. Feeling spent, overwhelmed and or mentally run down has a causal relationship to your physical health. If you get too much on your hand, deligate and outsource your household chores. Get help!
5. Wash your hands frequently but not excessively. It decreases your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don’t use antibacterial soap because of the risk of creating resistant bacteria. Rather use a simple alcohol free hand sanitizer.
6. Watch what you eat. Avoid sugar and processed foods as they decrease your immune function dramatically. Eat phytonutrient rich meals (lots of colorful salads and dark greens). Eat lots of garlic, it works as a broad spectrum antibiotic. Keep a supply of antiviral herbal supplements on hand. As opposed to antiviral drugs, antiviral herbs do not cause resistant strains because they are multifaceted and contain literally thousands of different medicinal compounds. Thus they are able to attack viruses with a full spectrum of synergistic substances. Andrographis, Olive leaf extract, Grapefruit seed extract and Elderberry extract all have antiviral properties. Use one or a combination of some of them as a prophylactic measure, for example, whenever you travel (airports) or enter a potentially compromised environment such as a large office, auditorium, stadium, theater etc.
7. Take a probiotic daily (look for one with 10-20 billion organisms). A strong immune system relies heavily on having a strong foundation in the gut.
8. Keep homeopathic Oscillococcinum on hand. Take it at the earliest sign of a cold or flu as early intervention is essential. If you are exposed to someone with the flu directly, you can take one dose twice a day for two days. You can also take one vial once a week throughout the winter, and two or three times a week during flu season, as a preventative measure.
9. Clean your home and office with an effective multi-purpose cleaner. There is is an entirely new class of extremely safe, non-toxic, ultra powerful antimicrobial disinfectants and chemical decontaminants that kills bacteria, viruses, spores, molds, and fungus with unprecedented efficacy (99.999%) of common household germs that cause colds, flu, and food poisoning, and other health risks.
10. Decontaminate the air in infected locations, rooms, ducts, and more. Steam clean your carpet, wash all inside of the windows, remove all molds around your house. Maintain a high levle of air quality in your home.
Choose a cleaning service provider with fully equipped to eradicates bacteria, viruses, spores, molds and fungus to 99.99999% and neutralizes toxic chemicals, while being totally biodegradable and safe enough for household use. It must offers top-to-bottom disinfection, decontamination, de-molding and mold prevention of commercial buildings and homes.
