Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Miraculous cures True ayurvedists are always ready to embrace anything that is going to cure their patients. Especially if it is "no medicine" approach or "home remedy". India is a country full of miracles, mysticism. Many patients with chronic diseases crossed the peak of their disease and slowly recovered, after some saint gave them some ashes or some herb. Traditionally, ayurveda was being practiced mostly by Vaidyas and spiritual Gurus. After Baba Ramdev episode, Government started thinking to deal with such miracle cures in a tough way. It may be recalled that this author introduced Baba Ramdev revolution for the first time on ayurveda. Author never thought such miracles were possible in west, a predominantly science driven culture. A strange observation however, is that during the rare times that doctors in the US go on strike, the death rate always goes down. This is already pointed out in few messages on ayurveda. Alternative health guru Dr Larry Dossey often cites this phenomenon as evidence of rampant iatrogenesis (death by doctoring), but mounting evidence suggests that there could be another reason . . . Cases of spontaneous remission - where serious, often fatal illnesses cure themselves with no obvious external or medical intervention - have been so widely documented to suggest that they are not as rare as we are led to believe by the medical establishment. Indeed, one very recent case reported by scientists at the University of Nevada cites the example of a 78-year-old man with malignant fibrous histiocytoma and multiple lesions in both lungs. Following the diagnosis, he declined conventional chemotherapy and chose nutritional treatment instead. He increased his intake of omega-3 fats (fish and algae oils) high in DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) to about 15 g/day and lowered his intake of omega-6s (found in nuts, seeds and plant oils such as corn, soy and safflower). Remarkably, computed tomography (CT) scans and chest X-rays revealed a slow but steady decrease in the size and number of tumour nodules - with no side-effects - and he remains free of symptoms today (Nutr Cancer, 2005;52: 121;9). An anger gripped this author when a teenager girl, in a similar situation, but under the duress of state sponsored terrorism by modern doctors, was not so fortunate, despite her parents refusing to accept conventional torturous therapies: State-sponsored medical terrorism: Texas authorities arrest parents, kidnap their teenage daughter, and force her through chemotherapy against her will http://www.newstarget.com/016387.html The untapped power of self-repair (SR) Caryle Hirschberg and the late Brendan O'Regan spent 15 years documenting nearly 2,000 cases of spontaneous remission. This work also reveals the league table of spontaneous remissions by disease group. Cancer made up 74 per cent of these cases, but a wide range of other potentially fatal diseases also mysteriously 'remitted'. Author has met few people who, having been declared terminal cases, are very much alive and healthy many years later. One case (liver cancer) is mentioned on ayurveda. The medical evidence that can't be ignored: Most orthodox cancer treatments are doled out on the assumptions that cancer is: a) always aggressive and life-threatening; and b) that it won't get better on its own. Are these seemingly basic assumptions sound? A famous letter to The Lancet dared to suggest that a particular form of breast cancer - ductal carcinoma in situ - may simply burn itself out in time. The authors noted that a local regression (in other words, spontaneous healing) of this relatively mild form of cancer was first described 70 years ago and has also been noted in some textbooks, but has otherwise been largely ignored by the medical profession. Because of modern medicine's inability to distinguish between the life-threatening and non-threatening cancers, patients with a positive outlook often given the full force of surgery, irradiation and drugs for cancers that might not have been a threat to their lives in the first place. So, can spontaneous remission be initiated? And can we influence it? Several cases presented with live patient in front of TV camera at Ramdev Maharaj Yoga training camps do suggest such a possibility. In last one year or so, patients visiting this author tell the exercises suggested by Ramdev Baba adopted by them, so that medicine can be reduced. The sheer volume of spontaneous remissions shows that self-repair and renewal is natural to the human body. Most cases seem to take place after the patient has made a major psychological shift to recreate a life that is engaging and purposeful. Most people, this would suggest, get ill because they've lost all hope of life ever being good. A blood cancer patient after showing consistent improvement for 12 months, showed deterioration for next two months when her son went away for further higher education. Linking this with the suddent down turn in health, author requested the sons to spend some time alternately at home, so that mother enjoyed their presence without their education suffering much. She recovered from her loss of appetite, nausea, migraine within a week itself. Letting go of long-term suppression of negative emotions such as fear can also trigger an Spontaneous Remission. Psychotherapist/ physician Dr Lawrence LeShan had a 32-year-old male patient with a rapidly growing tumour in his neck and throat. Before undergoing surgery to remove it, he was seen by a psychotherapist who discovered that the patient was repressing a terrible childhood trauma. The therapist encouraged him to relive the original experience, and he 'recounted it in detail, weeping and trembling'. Immediately after this 'release', the tumour started to shrink. Within four hours, he was able to eat for the first time in a week. Within four days, the tumour had completely disappeared. The astonished surgeon in charge of his case cancelled the operation (Am J Psychother, 1958; 12: 723;34). The link between cancerlike chronic diseases and psychological trauma has been invented by Dr Hamer. [http://www.newmedicine.ca/index.php] According to him, the connection between the psyche and disease is neither a new discovery, nor is it Dr. Hamer's discovery. To quote Dr. Hamer: "Through the millennia, humanity has more or less consciously known that all diseases ultimately have a psychic origin and it became a "scientific" asset firmly anchored in the inheritance of universal knowledge; it is only modern medicine that has turned our animated beings into a bag full of chemical formulas." An interesting theory, experimented on more than 25,000 patients and their results can be read at: http://www.newmedicine.ca/intro.php It is rather unfortunate that just like Ayurveda, Baba Ramdev, Dr Hamer is also being suppressed and harrased by modern science propogators.
