Dear Dr B K Sharma,

 

Namaskar. Thank you very much for your studied criticism (enclosed).

I must say that it is because of informed people like you and their

views that the road to return to health through holistic methods of

healing become more and more murky. You have no concern about the

suffering millions and are quite content to let the present faulty

method continue despite its proven track record of failures and horrendous side

effects.

 

God really laughs when millions of people die and yet the

perpretators go unpunished. I fail to understand what modern

medicine has achieved despite an yearly allocation of $3.1 trillion

all over the world (as per Health Sector Corruption Report 2006).

Coupled with that is the effort by the best brains who are reduced

to treating disease conditions rather than the patient. Shameful,

and a tremendous waste of manpower, resources and money.

 

You rail against Swami Ramdev, yet this naked fakir has achieved

what 300 years of modern medicine has failed to do. Please procure

the research findings he has published to know for yourself the

efficacy of holistic healing. You may also take the trouble of

visiting Uttaranchal, India to debate with the Health Officials

there.

 

In fact, under the able leadership of Dr Ambumani Ramadoss, Union

Health Minister, the golden triangle project involving three premier

scientific institutions is compiling the case histories of people

cured by Ayurveda, Yoga, Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy

so that "nobody will dare to malign the holistic methods anymore",

to quote Dr Ramadoss who took personal pains to rebutt the faulty

claim of The Lancet magazine that homeopathy was mere "placebo

therapy".

 

My mails seem opinionated by you though I do strengthen them with

views now being expressed by the media all over the world. This era

of information has opened our eyes to the evils of modern medicine,

the exorbitant costs and the growing dissatifaction of patients

maimed by this method. I myself am one such patient who, at the age

of 44 has had to sacrifice everything to this abomination.

 

I hope our Health Minister continues his crusade to put India and

Indian medicine & Homeopathy on the world map. Such a move will

benefit the whole of humanity and restore sanity. I would request

the Minister to kindly ensure that;

 

1. More budgetary support is accorded to the Dept Of Ayush and the

CERC.

2. The courses in our ayurvedic & homeopathic medical colleges

reflect classical ayurveda and homeopathic philosophies.

3. Public advertisements are released to counter the attack by

the "scientific community" upon holistic healing methods.

4. Courses in schools reflect holistic paradigms of health so that

the cause of social & preventive health is furthered.

5. A national directory of holistic practitioners be compiled so

that people can know whom to turn to in order to return to good

health.

6. More hospitals be set up concentrating on holistic methods.

7. Recruitment of qualified holistic healers to man the primary

health centres.

8. Training Panchayats on Naturopathy so that Gandhiji's dream is

realised.

9. Compulsory yoga training for school children and PSU staff.

10. Inititating non-practicing learners courses so that parents can

take care of minor acute health problems of children and relatives

through holistic methods to reduce the health burden on the

Government.

 

Regarding the shennanigans of the FDA and the state of the health

sector in America you ought to be more informed than me.

 

Yours faithfully,

Jagannath Chatterjee

& the Alt_Health_India team.

Dear Mr. Chatarjee,

I have seen many of your opiniated mails and this is one additional

telling us cure for every thing. You have every right to say what

you feel is correct, but to me it appears like rumour mongering. I

just happened to see another mail from a colleague titled “when God

laughs” which mentions few of the contents of your mail giving an

opportunity to the God to laugh.

I wonder these statistics and statements related to such claims have

ever been proved by any research or retrospective studies as always

happens in system of modern medicine. You should be aware of

rigorous methods and trials for approval of any drug by FDA.

Comparatively where do these methods for cure for every thing stand.

Though I am a Paediatric Surgeon and practice only modern medicine

and do not claim to know anything about such methods or alternative

medicine. However I have an open mind for any such claims and will

be interested to do a proper research or study before making any

such loud claims or accepting same. Till then at least we should not

spread rumours or make such claims. As you may be aware that we are

working to help and provide for poor, disabled and destitute through

hospitals, hospice, rural clinics, schools and Orphanages at Gwalior

in India details on www.helpchildrenofindia.org I have come across

similar claims in past as brought by one of our colleague advisor on

our board, who happens to be a supporter for alternative medicine

like yourself. I have suggested to him for doing a proper study of

all such patients as claimed footing the bills for such study or

necessary investigations by myself. I have gone to see and meet such

patients too personally, who are told having been cured by such

means as per such claims, but to my personal experience, all such

claims turned out to be baseless and false and I am yet to see a

person who got any benefit, leave aside numbers to do a proper

research or study. So there we are. With regards and best wishes,

BK

 

PS

I wonder if it comes to yourself or any of your loved ones (I wish

and pray to God that such should not happen), to experiment, whether

you will use the standard proved methods for treatment or the one

based on such rumours or un proven methods. We have heard of so many

Swamis or Saints claiming for all such methods, but I am yet to see

one who practices for oneself what they preach for others. Murarji

Desai famed for urine therapy, was one of such well known eccentrics

as you may remember.

CURING CANCER : NATURE’S WAY

"Man is one and our salvation lies eventually in a mutual sharing of

all knowledge" – says Richard Grossinger in ‘Planet Medicine’. To

that I may add that life is eternal and this intricate human body

comes with a guarantee card of 100 years of fault-free service from

the finest manufacturer – God. If we suffer unnecessarily and die

prematurely, it is because we live unnaturally.

 

Nature Cure is based on instinct and common sense, and hence, cannot

fail. It declares that the laws of Nature are immutable and

infallible; that sickness is unnecessary and proceeds from violation

of the laws of nature; that pain is penalty for wrong doing, a

warning against transgression; that the body has an in-built defense

mechanism consisting of about 120 billion WBCs in 70 kg man,

compliments C1 to C17 (special chemicals which break the walls of

bacteria, fungi, etc.), hydrochloric acid in the stomach which kills

bacteria and antibodies; that healing is from within and

consequently you alone are responsible for your health; that

biomedical changes precede disease and toxemia is the principal

cause of diseases. Hence, cure cannot be obtained without cleansing

or removing the cause; that body, mind and spirit should be treated

as a whole, so that the individual learns to regulate his own life

and command his own destiny; that in purity lies our power – pure

air, water, food, light, environment, thought, purpose and faith.
