Back to Aenon - 2nd Time (Part 2)

Aenon Health Care Centre in Tambin tucked in forested and hilly terrain is an ideal place to refresh and re-energize. We met all kinds of people. Some simply come to relax. Some come to detox after consuming both healthy and "unhealthy" food over a long period of time in their normal daily routine. But for some cancer patients, this is where they seek alternative cures after failing to recover through the usual treatment at the hospitals.  

The daily routine "enforced" in the Centre is indeed helpful to promote healthy living. Fixed times for the three meals. Fixed time for exercise and fixed time to bed.

Morning exercise at 6am before the daily morning walk of 2.4Km.

***************************************************

Aenon has a number of Kachin people working as helpers and staff. They are refugees who fled Myanmar and came to Malaysia to get away from the on-going conflict in the northern region of Myanmar. Many of the young Kachins who came to the Centre are first trained at the Training Centre. They are taught the skill of massage therapy, infra red light therapy, carbon treatment and other forms of treatments offered by the Centre. Many are waiting to be re-settled in another country. Australia and USA are their favourite destinations.

**************************************************

Second round of exercise in the afternoon starting normally at 5pm.

***************************************************

At the Centre, we met first-time attendees as well as repeat attendees. We met a lady who first attended sixteen years ago when the Centre was then at Malacca. She is now in her late thirties. Among friends we got to know at the Centre are cancer patients and cancer survivors who are now in remission. While some of their stories are heart wrenching but their determination to survive is equally heart warming.

David and his wife are repeat attendees..

***************************************************

A familiar figure in the Centre is the Chaplain, Anne Chew, wife of one of the the Resident Doctors, Dr. Chew. She is easily spotted sitting in the lounge during morning and afternoon breaks. Anyone who makes eye contact with her is likely being invited by her to spend a couple of minutes with her. She would either share the Gospel with the non-Christian attendees or say a prayer or introduce a book to those who profess the Christian faith.
