But the treatment could take more than a year. Imagine how much that's going to cost! With money I can drop everything, fly my father over there for treatment and let him get well. That would have been something money can buy.
Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can:
1) buy you the best (organic) food and supplements so your body can have the nutrients it needs
2) buy you a comfortable house so you can live well there
3) give you freedom to indulge in the otherwise “useless” (or should I say less profitable) passion, like traveling, becoming an artist (both kinds), playing video games etc
4) allow you to help others in a grand scale, like building a hospital and give free treatment to the poor and underprivileged, or buying an entire forest just to preserve it. Tell me how you can do that without money?

Traditional medicine?
Feels new to me that you are going to China for an alternative to the Western norm. Where I come from, hospital trips to the West are almost conceived as a treat lol.

Malaysia? No way.....Not exactly traditional medicine. They have a special medical device that seems pretty convincing. Coupled that with traditional medicine patients can see improvements in their condition.
The current standard treatment for Parkinson’s disease is not really effective. It’s like taking sleeping pills. It works initially but after some time you need to keep increasing the dosage, until it eventually fails you. That’s why my father refused treatment.
By the way, my location is MY. Hope you get that subtle reference.
Malaysia? No way.....
For how long?

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy a hair transplant , which is pretty damn close to happiness.
