My First Patient

From the very start i earned my Degree as an Alternative Medicine Practitioner, my parents have become my First Patient. They become my treatment model specially my mother.

Through nanay, i earned many referals and recommendation from her friends that made me to commit full time in this profession. I started healing patients with simple cases such as headache, stiff neck, frozen shoulders, sprained ankle and body pain. From doing body massage to relieve condition i employ to use herbs as a take home treatment after massage.

Through the years of dedicated practice and study, i gain expertise on Philippine Traditional and Indigenous Medicine that i started to treat serious conditions of patients.

I handled couples who want to have a child through fertility hilot, patients with anxiety and depression, patients that have fatty liver and enlargement of the heart, ureter kidney and bladder problem, and stroke patient. But with all the patients that i had, my first priority always goes to my family. When they are sick, i always make it to attend to them specially to my mom.

This year my mother had a multiple stroke and hip replacement surgery. She was also diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease. I become very reluctant that i forgot to take watch over them that i focus on other people condition.

So since January, i focused my self on attending to nanay condition. She was hospitalized early this year and doctor recommend that she will undergo Physical Rehabilitation Therapy for 3 to 6 months.

But through my intervention and integration of western treatment and Hilot, nanay is now doing well amd can walk again. For now, i am training her with a walker and my goal is that she could walk again without assistance and be independent.

Indeed Hilot is a Family Traditional Medicine that our focus is for the General Health and Wellness of our Family.

Hilot is our own Healing Modality

Hilot is not just a massage so the Licensed Massage Therapists shoulf not be threatened to loose their jobs because of the rise of modern Hilot.

But in fact, Hilot is the earliest form of Healing in the Philippines and many Manghihilot loose their Jobs and Profession with the rise of Modern Medicine.

The Traditional Manghihilot does not complain when the Philippine Government give importance to the Licensed Massage Therapist by creating the Sanitation Act Law.

The Traditional Manghihilot also hoping to be recognized through the Philippine Traditional and Alternative Medicine Act but instead of recognition, still Hilot are being ignored and accused of being unscientific. What this act recognized are Western Modalities and give them highest respect and call them Doctors such as those who Practice Homeopathy, Naturopathy, Acupuncture, Ayurveda and Chiropractic.

But the Manghihilot and Albularyo still branded as Quack Doctors.

University of the Philippines through Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Healthcare had a convention on Herbal Medicine, but when i inquire about the event i was not accepted to attend because the convention is an event with a payment.

So those who will benefit from modern studies on Herbs are those who have money who can control the market and not the common people.

The Common People will remain as consumer and patient and never will learn to control their life.

Tesda has given hope the common people to take charge of their health by teaching Hilot Wellness Massage, but DoH Licensed Massage Therapist are discrediting Tesda for giving scholarship to the common people in learning Hilot.

The accuse Hilot Wellness Massage NC2 are stealing jobs for the LMT’s but in reality the LMT have long time stole the livelihood and profession of the Manghihilot in the Philippines.

Hilot is for everyone and it is not for only one person. It is not mine to claim that i am Hilot. You are not required to be Certified or Licensed to become a Hilot.

Our Academy only help our graduates to remember the kind of Medicine that their Ancestors have taught them from generation to generation. So there is no standard procedures in doing Hilot.

As Each Patient is has individual differences, so as the type of Hilot Applied to each patient is different and unique.

Unlike in Massage Therapy, their sequences only circulate on Efflurage, Petrissage, Friction, Tapotement and Vibration; but Hilot goes beyond the Physical Manipulation and pass through the mental, emotional, social and spiritual aspect of each individual.

Aside from treating the body, we need to secure also the patients behaviour, its lifestyle and its environment. Healing will not come if these aspect is ignored.

So Licensed Massage Therapist dont be envious with Hilot, because our Craft is far more different from your scope of Practices.

Dance with my Nanay

After a month of recovery from Multiple Stroke and Hip Replacement Surgery, this valentine of 2019 nanay could stand and walk again with minimum assistance.

We recognize the help of modern medicine integrated with Traditional Hilot to achieve full potential of Holistic Healing.

Modern Diagnostic and surgical procedures in repairing or replacing the damage part of the patients body and the power of Natural Medicine in replenishing the life force of the Patient.

Indeed the Body is not complete without the Soul which is the Life Force of every individual.

Integration of the old to new; of traditional to conventional medicine.

Doctor of Hilot

There is no Law yet to officially recognize Hilot as a Doctor here in the Philippines, but an International Law recognize Chiropractor as a Doctor so as the Acupuncturist.

Doctor Catherine Sy Luib, who is a Chiropractor and Acupuncturist whose Family roots are from Cebu and Dinagat Islands, Surigao Del Norte migrated to the United States and earn her Doctorate Degree in Chiropractic.

Doc Cath as she prefered to be called is a FYLPRO Champion of San Diego, California, USA.

She learned Hilot Academy through Facebook, and as delegate for the Filipino Young Leaders Program that is based in the United States, she wanted to have a Legacy project of reintroducing Hilot to the Filipino Communities in the US.

Doc Cath arrived in the Philippines on November 8 and immediately she immersed her self into a medical mission in Sta. Rosa, Laguna providing the people there with Alternative Health Care Services through Acupuncture and Chiropractic Adjustment.

And on the 10th of November, Doc Cath arrived to our place and started her transformative Journey in learning Hilot as the Philippine indigenous healing arts and science.

We had fun during the learning sessions. We started off with Tawas then an actual work of Herbal Identification to Mt. Balagbag. We have shared also the Knowledge of Baybayin. Cook some Hilot Recipe for health and wellness; and the actual demonstration and giving of Hilot.

Indeed, learning Hilot with Doc Cathy is fun as we have opened up new path ways to learn Hilot to our future Students and fellow advocate in Hilot Academy.

With these, we congratulate Doctor Catherine Sy Luib for completing her course as Hilot Binabaylan.

The result of our activity goes beyond our expectations. Some arrived very early from the call time as we also end up the program late by 11 PM. Some people come from far away places and the farthest i know is from Antique who travel just to participate to our event gathering.

Indeed that Hilot is a family of healers that does not limit to a certain modality in order to help person be relieved from dis ease and in restoring optimum health and wellness. As i notice that our Traditional Healing Arts and Science is very welcoming to integration to other healing modalities such as Natutopathy, Homeopathy and Acupressure. Since Hilot is very intuitive in nature, and the spirit have lead the people to integrate what we individually know to improve and recover the health and wellness of a certain individual.

We are looking forward in the future to see all the people mention above to work together again on a Big Festivity which we will conduct next year.

May everyone be Blessed in Peace.

Mayari Na!

Healing Crisis

This video demonstrate what happens to a person who is recieving Hilot.

When a sick person comes to manghihilot, the person is being filled with clean energy upto the brim and overflow.

Watch the bubble (which is the toxin within the body, this may represent negative energies that affect also the mind, emotion and the spirit).

As clean energy comes in to the body (represented by the faucet water) the unclear energy is being brought up and expelled out, but cleansing doesnt stop there becuase it needed to be thoroughly cleansed.

When someone feel that their ailments become aggravated, that means all negative energies have been purged out. The same thing happen in soul healing. The person will experience mood swings, hatred, bad luck and so on until overflowing love and blessings will flourish.

The work of healing does not stop in addressing pain but ot should work continuesly until we gain the expected result.

When all is well then, the patient becomes now the vessel of possitive energy that s/he also becomes a healer.

The cost of Healthcare

Last time i went to the hospital to let my nephew who is just two years old be checked by a pediatrician. After a long qeue, the name of my nephew have been called and its time for us to seat in front of the Doctors desk.

Without lifting her butt on the chair, the doctor write on her prescription pad for the medicine we should administer to my nephew and a recommendation for a laboratory test for his blood and urine then the doctor asked us to come back when the laboratory result has been made for her to interpret.

Then we left her office and go straight ahead to the cashier to pay the Doctors fee of Php 450.00 ; then we go to the Pharmacy to buy the prescribed medicine the doctoe gave us that cost Php 1,000.00; then we go to the Laboratory and pay again Php 500.00 for the Urine and Blood Test; and on the other day i alone come back to the doctors office for the Laboratory result interpretation that luckily i only pay Php 50.00 for the Hospital Charge.

If we will sum up all the money we spend, it cost me Php 2,000.00 or USD 37.21. This is the cost now for modern Health Care and not all people could afford to have spend Php 2,000.00 a day.

I feel so sorry that i have not that enough time to spend my days with my nephew and family member. If only the principles of Hilot could be applied daily in our life, we could prevent illness like this and much more serious and chronic diseases.

Every home should have someone who knows the Arts and Science of Hilot in preventing and curing simple ailments that will save them from unnecessary expenses such as from hospitalization.

The true cost of Traditional Healthcare is this. It can be seen from the letter that spelled out the word Hilot which is the letter “o” which stands for Oras or time. Spending time with our love ones will prevent the development of illness. We can protect them from any possible harm that might endanger them to our surroundings. And with the time we spend, we could also share our love to them which is the most Powerful Healer in the world that give us life.

Live and Let Live!
