Doreen, a philanthropist from Segamat, Johor, was diagnosed with colon cancer and went through three punishing rounds of chemotherapy. Alongside her doctor's ongoing treatment plan, she also began taking porcupine bezoar (also known as porcupine date) as a supporting wellness direction. This is her story — and a message she wanted to leave for fellow patients.
Doreen had a habit of getting a full health check-up every year, and there had been no obvious symptoms beforehand. Most of her time outside work went into charity — preparing meals for families in need, sponsoring young monks in Nepal, supporting vulnerable households. Among her friends, she was known as someone who quietly did a lot of good. So when the diagnosis came back, she simply couldn't accept it. She hid away and cried, and for a moment, the thought of giving up entirely crossed her mind.
She remembers asking herself, almost in disbelief: I've done so much good — why is this happening to me? Her doctor didn't soften the situation either, telling her gently but plainly to prepare for the road ahead.
To make things harder, her lungs still carried a few faint white spots left over from a past COVID infection — and the cancer seemed to find that weakened spot first.

Her first round of chemotherapy left her breathless and exhausted — she needed white blood cell injections just to get through it, and there was no energy left to even smile.
By the second round, her mouth was covered in painful ulcers, making it almost impossible to eat. The bone pain, she said, felt like it had "sunk straight into the marrow." Her appetite disappeared almost entirely, and there were moments she seriously considered stopping treatment altogether.
She describes that period simply as "hell on earth."
What helped Doreen find her footing again was a memory from her own family. As she recalls it, her mother had also been diagnosed with colon cancer years earlier, and on a professor's suggestion, began taking porcupine bezoar (箭猪枣, also known in Chinese as 河猪枣 or 豪猪枣) powder without going through chemotherapy at all. She lived for another six and a half years, and her doctor confirmed at the time of her passing that no cancer cells remained in her body. This is Doreen's own family memory, shared simply to explain why she was open to trying it herself — every person's condition and circumstances are different, and this is not presented as a verified medical outcome.
Her son had always believed strongly in porcupine bezoar too, and encouraged his mother to treat it as a supporting direction alongside her actual treatment.
Starting on the fourth day after her third round of chemotherapy, Doreen began taking one pack of Miracle Medicine porcupine bezoar every other day. For the ulcers in her mouth, she applied the porcupine bezoar powder directly onto the sores — in the morning, and by evening, she said the discomfort had eased considerably.
While continuing her treatment under her doctor's care, Doreen's follow-up reports began to shift — her index dropped from 13.9% to 7.6% (with normal range being under 5%), and gradually, her energy and stamina returned. She no longer found herself out of breath from simple movement.
Her oncologist, looking over her results, told her she was one of the patients who had recovered especially well during that period. Where the doctor had originally estimated six to eight months of rest, after her third round of chemotherapy she was instead told she could return to work by August. Throughout this entire period, Doreen continued to follow her oncologist's treatment plan and attend her scheduled follow-ups.
Doreen shared some of her most honest reflections on her own Facebook page.
She also mentioned that during the period when chemotherapy left her bone pain feeling like it had sunk into the marrow, porcupine bezoar was one of the things she used to support her body and make that stretch a little less difficult.

Every batch carries seven certifications: KKM, HALAL Laboratory Certification, MeSTI, HACCP, GMP, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 22000:2018, and undergoes third-party testing.
Miracle Medicine's research collaboration with Guangdong Pharmaceutical University has been published in the international journal Pharmaceuticals (DOI: 10.3390/ph19040563). This is an animal-model study exploring the immunomodulatory mechanisms of porcupine bezoar — it does not constitute clinical evidence that it treats cancer in humans. More than 5,000 customers have used porcupine bezoar to date.
Every body, and every stage of treatment, is different. If you'd like to know whether porcupine bezoar might be relevant for your family member's situation, feel free to message Miracle Medicine directly and let us know where they are in their treatment — we'll help you think it through. Treatment decisions should always stay with your doctor.
