The Star NON-profit organisation Compassionate Care Foundation is giving the underprivileged a chance to undergo subsidised Hi-Bliss Hydrogen Therapy through its Love.Hope.Health campaign.
The non-invasive and alternative therapy is intended to help those suffering from chronic pain and skin allergies.
With the help of IRCare Sdn Bhd, the foundation will subsidise 50% of treatment costs for every needy person.
The therapy costs a minimum RM90 per session, depending on the patient’s condition.
“We believe that by helping to relieve pain and restore good health to the less fortunate, we can reduce physical suffering as well as bring about positive and long-term impact to their lives,” said foundation co-founder and board director Daena Chan at the launch of the treatment centre in Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya.
The campaign aims to reach out to 50 underprivileged people before it ends in December.
Foundation co-founder Jayse Ong said it was approaching organisations and corporations to be sponsors in the campaign so that the therapy could be free in years to come.
The foundation has roped in social activist Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye as its adviser.
“I have always supported efforts to help poor people regardless of where they come from.
“I will give my best in helping the foundation to fulfil its mission,” said Lee.
The campaign is open to underprivileged individuals with a household or personal income of less than RM2,500 per month, elderly folk who have been abandoned by their families, those unemployed due to chronic pain or other illnesses listed by the board members.
Therapy will be conducted at Lot 01, Level 3A, Menara TH Uptown, No 3, Jalan SS21/39, Damansara Utama, Petaling Jaya.

Agak mengelirukan apabila sebilangan doktor berpendapat bahawa sesetengah penyakit kronik berpunca daripada jangkitan kuman tertentu, sementara yang lain mengatakan ia bermula daripada dalam diri individu itu sendiri.
Begitupun, kajian demi kajian membuktikan kedua-dua pandangan ini ada benarnya, bergantung kepada perspektif mana punca penyakit ini dikesan. Lihat saja bagaimana kita mudah jatuh sakit apabila dalam keadaan tertekan. Ini berlaku kesan daripada daya tahan tubuh yang lemah.
Dalam dunia serba pantas ini, tekanan dalam kerja, tuntutan hidup dan pelbagai komitmen sampingan lain boleh memberi tekanan besar kepada sesiapa saja. Berikutan itu, ramai yang tidak sedar mereka mengambil jalan salah untuk menenangkan diri.
Melepak di kedai mamak untuk secawan teh tarik, menikmati makanan manis dan berlemak sebagai ‘terapi’ diri, merokok, meneguk alkohol atau tidur berlebihan, semua ini mengundang risiko penyakit. Tambahan kita kini terdedah kepada pencemaran, setiap individu sepatutnya lebih prihatin kepada kesejahteraan diri dan keluarga.
Di Malaysia, kebanyakan kita mempunyai akses mudah untuk mendapatkan rawatan di hospital kerajaan. Bagi yang mampu, mereka boleh memilih mana-mana pusat perubatan berbayar untuk rawatan serta layanan yang lebih selesa.
Begitupun, rawatan ubat-ubatan saja mungkin tidak mencukupi terutama dalam membantu penghidap penyakit kronik mendapatkan kehidupan lebih berkualiti.
Bagi pesakit kanser, rawatan radioterapi biasanya mendatangkan kesan sampingan. Radiasi mengion boleh menyebabkan perubahan kepada struktur sel, sekali gus mengganggu fungsi serta merosakkan sel berkaitan. Mahu atau tidak, kedua-dua sel kanser dan normal di kawasan rawatan yang terdedah kepada radiasi akan melalui perubahan ini.
Begitu juga dengan pesakit yang mengalami kegagalan buah pinggang atau penyakit kronik lain. Pastinya mereka mengharungi kehidupan yang sukar, menikmati kualiti hidup yang rendah dan kurang memuaskan disebabkan kekangan untuk melakukan aktiviti harian mereka.
Perubahan ini berlaku disebabkan penyakit dan rawatan yang perlu dijalani. Mereka akan mula berasa perbezaan dari sudut emosi, fizikal, sosial serta sosio-ekonomi. Kesan terbesar bagaimanapun dapat dilihat dalam perubahan gaya dan kualiti hidup pesakit.
Inilah antara sebab mengapa perlunya terapi khusus untuk membantu mengembalikan semua keceriaan hidup pesakit. Orang berkemampuan biasanya melihat terapi khusus sebagai keperluan kepada pesakit. Tetapi lain pula halnya dengan mereka yang berpendapatan rendah. Mereka terpaksa meletakkan 100 peratus keyakinan terhadap rawatan di hospital dan menelan setiap kepahitan yang dirasai sendiri. Sedangkan situasi beginilah yang boleh memudaratkan lagi diri pesakit.
Membilang harapan ramai pesakit yang kurang berkemampuan, Yayasan Compassionate Care mengambil inisiatif menawarkan khidmat terapi hidrogen Hi-Bliss untuk membantu golongan berkenaan berdepan penyakit kritikal dihidapi.
Yayasan ditubuhkan dua wanita iaitu Daena Chan bersama Jayse Ong itu memfokuskan kepada tawaran khidmat kesihatan tertumpu buat pesakit, alahan kulit dan luka terbuka serta mereka yang mahu memulihkan fungsi organ untuk melawan penyakit atau membina kembali sistem tubuh.
Menurut Daena, sejak awal penubuhan yayasan berkenaan pada Julai 2017, pihaknya begitu komited untuk menyumbang khidmat dan berbakti kepada masyarakat memerlukan, dalam apa saja cara yang dirasakan mampu.
“Kita mahu menjadi organisasi bukan berasaskan keuntungan (NGO) yang pertama di Malaysia memberikan rawatan atau terapi molekul hidrogen untuk pesakit kronik yang kurang berkemampuan. Ini termasuk mereka yang mengalami kegagalan buah pinggang, kegagalan hati, kencing manis, kesan sampingan radioterapi, penghidap penyakit kulit atau mempunyai luka terbuka. Kita mahu golongan ini kembali sihat dan aktif.” katanya.
Ditanya bagaimana kaedah sebenar terapi dijalankan, Daena menjelaskan, molekul hidrogen secara saintifik terbukti memiliki antioksidan tinggi dan mempunyai ciri anti-radang.
“Ia adalah molekul terkecil di dunia dan paling mudah diserap ke dalam sel tubuh untuk meneutralkan radikal bebas yang bertoksik. Sel sihat inilah yang menjadi asas kepada organ sihat, sekali gus membolehkan sistem badan berfungsi secara optimum.
“Selain kandungan antioksida dan sifat anti- radang, molekul ini juga berupaya membantu merangsang peredaran darah, menggalakkan detoksifikasi, meningkatkan penghasilan tenaga, mengurangkan keletihan, mengembalikan fungsi organ dan meningkatkan sistem imun.
“Perlu diketahui bahawa terapi ini adalah usaha alternatif untuk membantu pesakit menjalani kehidupan lebih berkualiti, berkeyakinan serta mengembalikan fungsi tubuh. Ia hanya menggunakan semburan gas hidrogen yang dihuraikan daripada air (H2O) menerusi mesin khas ke bahagian tubuh tertentu. Tiada jarum, suntikan atau ubat-ubatan. Jadi, pesakit tidak perlu bimbang,” katanya.
Jelas Daena, keberkesanan molekul hidrogen dalam memerangi penyakit utama dibuktikan lebih 900 kajian saintifik dari negara Jepun, Eropah, Amerika Syarikat, Korea dan China.
“Apapun, kita percaya bahawa setiap orang berhak menjalani kehidupan sihat dan berkualiti sama seperti golongan berkemampuan. Justeru, kami memilih terapi molekul hidrogen untuk membantu mereka yang layak.
“Kami juga bangga apabila inisiatif ini disambut baik Aktivis Sosial, Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye. Malah, beliau juga bersetuju untuk menjadi penasihat yayasan ini.
“Paling utama, kami berharap sumbangan terapi percuma kepada individu terpilih ini nanti dalam memberi sinar kehidupan yang lebih baik kepada penerima,” katanya.
Pusat Yayasan Compassionate Care kini dibuka di Menara TH Uptown, Damansara Utama. Waris atau pesakit yang memerlukan khidmat terapi boleh mendaftar untuk proses saringan.
“Our biggest motivation is the ability to help someone in pain get well again. The most rewarding experience is to witness their improvement day bydayuptothe point that they are healthy and smiling again.”
DIAGNOSED with chronic hepatitis C, Siew Wai Kiong’s liver could no longer function. Two-third of it had hardened while the remaining was inflamed and swollen.
When his doctor told him that he did not have much time left, Siew decided to seek alternative treatment from Compassionate Care Foundation.
After more than a year of undergoing Hi-Bliss Hydrogen treatments, his liver has improved and he is finally able to live a healthy life.
Set up in July last year, Compassionate Care Foundation is a non-profit organisation that subsidises Hi-Bliss Hydrogen Therapy for underprivileged patients who suffer from chronic pain, kidney and liver failure, diabetes, skin diseases and side effects of radiotherapy.
Its director Daena Chan says the aim of the foundation is to extend the benefits of Hi-Bliss Hydrogen Therapy to all members of society, regardless of age and social standing, to enable them to regain optimal health.
“The idea for the foundation started when Hi- foundation’s Bliss clients recommended patients who were suffering from pain and various diseases to try our treatment. These people are volunteer workers and cannot afford the treatment.
“We decided to treat them at no charge and subsequently, their health conditions improved. Based on this experience, we wanted to continue providing free treatments for those who could not afford the sessions.
Hi-Bliss Hydrogen Therapy was introduced by IRCare, a company owned by Chan and Jayse Ong, another director of the Foundation. IRCare developed the Hi-Bliss Hydrogen Therapy for pain management and wellness.
Chan says those who are referred to the Foundation are in pain, depressed and unable to lead normal lives because of their disease.
“Our biggest motivation is the ability to help someone in pain get well again. The most rewarding experience is to witness their improvement day by day up to the point that they are healthy and smiling again.”
The foundation has also launched the Love. Hope.Health campaign to reach out to people in chronic pain, and those who suffer from skin allergy and open wounds, who want to seek treatment for their conditions.
“The campaign aims to help relieve their pain, resolve their skin allergies and rebuild their immune system to fight diseases and restore their organ functions.
“We look forward to extending the gift of health to as many underprivileged patients as possible. We urge individuals and corporations to join us to make this a successful campaign,” says Chan.
She says studies have found that molecular hydrogen has anti-inflammatory properties and is able to protect and repair human cells. Since it is the smallest molecule, it is easily absorbed into the cells to selectively neutralise toxic free radicals.
The therapy reduces inflammation and pain; stimulates blood circulation; promotes detoxification; boosts energy, relieves fatigue and improves the immune system.
“During Hi-Bliss Hydrogen Therapy, molecular hydrogen is sprayed onto specific points on the skin which is then absorbed into the body.
“We also combine light manipulation and other techniques to enable better blood circulation and absorption of the hydrogen into the patient’s cells where it protects and repairs them. The therapy is natural, safe, drug-free, and non-invasive with no side effects,” says Chan.

KUALA LUMPUR: All government and private agencies are called to actively contribute various kind of aids through corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes to help underprivileged people in getting alternative health treatments.
Compassionate Care Foundation (CCF) through its ‘Love.Hope.Health’ campaign are offering 50 free alternative treatments for those in need beginning May till the end of 2018.
Touching on the Hi-Bliss Hydrogen therapy provided, the foundation's advisor Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said this would enable underprivileged members of the society to enjoy the benefits of the treatment for their diseases.
“When I was first introduced to CCF, I was amazed with its effort to help the people in need to get the molecular hydrogen treatment for free.
“Many of those who suffer from chronic diseases and pain are eager to try alternative treatment but unfortunately, they could not afford it.
“Throughout my career, I have committed and dedicated my best efforts to help members of the community, especially the economically disadvantaged, regardless of their racial background," he said at the launching of CCF today.
Lee urged all big corporate agencies to play their CSR role more responsibly and actively and and contribute financial aid to health foundations so that the hard core poor would not be left out in seeking proper treatment.

“We believe that by helping to relieve pain and restore good health to them, we can reduce physical suffering and bring positive long-term impact to their lives.
“We have some patients with chronic deseases that had sucessfully recovered and lead a better life now,” she said.
Also present at the ceremony was CCF director Jaysey Ong.
