A Personal Memoir from Marjoa-Leena Hirvonen

Life is a journey and now I'm going to tell about my own journey and why it led me to the pH Miracle.

I was raised in the countryside where I learned to know what is right and wrong by experiencing and
evaluating. I became an individual with a common sense.

I was interested in nature and it gave me everything I needed (and still does). That's why I studied
biology and chemistry at the University. By coincidence I started out in the pharmaceutical industry
without any earlier experience/understanding of it. I have now been working there for 25 years with
23 years in oncology (cancer care) therapy - The latest years with opinion leaders mainly.

During these years I learned a lot about cancer and met both patients (patient organizations) and
doctors. In the congresses I was wondering why numbers and statistics pay such a big role. Etiology
of cancer was described in a way I couldn't accept. When I discussed this with doctors they told me
that it doesn't indicate an individual patient but is true on a population level. However many patients
felt guilty and claimed themselves. Connection between body-mind-spirit was not presented because
in medicine (and all natural sciences) everything has to be measured before you can believe on it.

In clinical trials, treatment guidelines and even in golden standards there is a hypothesis (set years
ago) where diagnosis, prognosis and treatments are based accordingly and nobody ever criticizes it.
The hypothesis gets variations according to the treatment/drug which is in case.

Big Pharma finances most of the clinical trials and cancer care is the fastest growing business segment
of all therapy areas. Signal transduction, viral vaccinations in cancer etc., new molecules are worth
tens of thousands per month. Imaging technique finds the smallest lesions and the cure is more
aggressive and lasts longer. Both older and newer treatment protocols have side-effects and a
variation of medication is needed to avoid those.

The following is how I got personally involved into cancer and had to re-evaluate my values.

My own experience involving cancer is strong – I was devastated as I thought that I'll never get
cancer because I'm so healthy... However I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003 and had
surgery (local resection; lumpectomy) and radiotherapy. During the first year there wasn't a day that
I didn't think about my cancer.

A couple of years later I lost my voice. The diagnosis was Spasmodic Dysphonia (SD), the most severe
voice disorder. I was offered Botox to my vocal cords, I didn't accept it after having red Cochrane
Library results about Botox and it's efficacy in treating SD. This was the first time my eyes were
clearly opened. Why were doctors offering Botox without being able to show clear evidence?

I analyzed my way of living and came to the conclusion that breathing is my problem and it causes my
SD plus emotional stress and imbalance in general.

I travelled to Tampa to a voice rehabilitation course and learned that breathing is very sensitive when
a person is facing a crisis. The ability to continue breathing can help stop more worries to come. And
like Pavlov's dog you learn in which situations this is needed and soon it becomes a habit.
Body-mind-spirit arouse as a key to my life in theory but not in practice. That's why...

After being disease-free for six years from breast cancer an inner voice (unconsciousness) said: go to
MRI. And so the recurrence of my breast cancer was found as two metastases in the same breast
area. I understood that now it is not curable any more. I was offered chemotherapy and endocrine
therapy for the rest of my life after that. I started chemo as I had learned that it is necessary in these
advanced cases.

This period of time was a real chaos. I was reading scientific articles about my prognosis and this
knowledge nearly killed me. I told my family members and friends that I wouldn’t live very long.

At the same time I got some divine strength to change my attitude. I was reading a lot and found out
that the biggest wisdom is lying just in the crisis. I learned that the universe leads us and we have to
follow whatsoever happens.

My affirmation at that time (and still is):

In each moment and everywhere I have everything I need. I'm in the right place of my life doing the
work, which I like most. I can use all my talents and use them right. On everything I do God is guiding
me and giving inspiration. I think, speak and act as is right. I enjoy my life and make other people
enjoy their lives. I am creative and active, looking for the data and seeking the truth.

I used chemo for one cycle and was gathering information on other options. Found out that chemo in
itself causes acidosis and oxidative stress, which according to my understanding is the cause of my
cancer. So I wanted to stop it. I got hormone therapy instead as I'd learned that oestrogen is the bad
thing and should be eliminated. I used hormones for two months and stopped using them as well
because strange things started to happen.

I had found something interesting from the Internet and met a person who I knew is doing
microscopic blood analysis. This is what I've been looking for and didn't hesitate. I contacted Dr.
Young and we agreed that I would travel immediately to his ranch and can have nutrition plus
microscopic analysis training at the same time.

I met this person, Dr Young, who belongs to the 0.1% of

persons who can fly as a wild bird, free, but knowing where
he is going to. As I have noticed, there are persons who are
highly educated though have no common sense, and simply
take the direction which is given. Persons who are intelligent,
but through the whole world history intelligence can be used
to false, even fatal purposes (Hitler, Stalin). Then: there is a
tiny group of persons who have wisdom. It is to be seen as
humanity, open mind, spiritual vision, and awareness of the
truth, love and care. Dr. Young is such a person, absolutely.

What he is teaching makes sense and is simple to

understand. He says: there is only one physiological state of
imbalance – the over-acidification of the body. He has documented this and shown in practice. I fully
agree. Cause and effect relationship – this is needed as well as our own commitment to our well-
being.

The secret of life is duality as Dr Young puts it. I have seen it in my life as well. You have to
experience darkness before you find the light; feel unhappy before you understand what happiness
means. Follow opinion leaders before you dare to take your own steps.

I have learned through my hard times the relativity of things. Meaning of strong and weak varies. A
person can look strong but is weak and vice versa. A person can be strong/strong, strong/weak,
weak/weak, or weak/strong. But, weakness is the original strength.

Why I want to take weakness/strength - duality in this context? Because if you have a disease you are
an object, seen as a weak link of the community. System (hospital, clinic, etc.) is taking the lead and
you are suited into the needs of the system. Your needs are not the driving force. At the pH Miracle
Center this is different. You as the subject are actively taking part in your 'destiny'.

'The doctor managed the operation perfectly, but the patient died'; this is still true in many cases in
medicine. Dr. Young's approach is holistic and lasts as long as a person maintains the lifestyle.

Ecological footprint is commonly discussed nowadays. I'd like to raise a new footprint designed just for
Dr. Young: Give a meaning for the Universe - footprint. (in this case a big footprint is ideal). For me
he has given the meaning – to help people to learn to know about the pH Miracle. And it's my duty to
the universe to do it. My own cancer is gone and I have found a new level of myself. Pleomorphism, as
Dr. Young's research shows, can happen in a human being as well. Unbalanced, unhappy without
direction, with fear ---> balanced, happy, with faith, aware of what, why and how. Get rid of the
previous concepts if there is something better to be offered. There is now and I have rid myself of the
previous ones.

To be or not to be - by Shakespeare. And, Shelley Young has said in other words prefer being instead
of doing. Awareness and enlightenment. These two things I have experienced during my visit at the
ranch. Each person tells the same story about Dr. Young. His dedication, vision and open mindedness.
And this is true. The wild bird flies.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude and honor to Dr. Robert and Shelley Young and the
personnel at The pH Miracle Center.

Seek and you shall find. Knock, and the door will be opened.
