A grain of experience can overturn a ton of theory. A breast cancer,

removed by surgery, spread to spine. The patient age 58, mother of a

MBBS doctor. 5 chemotherapy cycles completed, losta ll hair and

patient had urinary incontinence as a gift of chemo. She used a urine

bag all the time. She was unable to walk without a walker after 4th

cycle itself. As per wishes of the family, Ayurvedic Panch Gavya

treatment started in parallel. IN 2 weeks, patients strength

improved, balance improved, so she was able to walk without walker

albeit slowly, and make her own tea/coffee. She could get urine

control too, to some extent.

 

Next week husband of the patient appeared asking sixth cycle was

pending and oncologist urged that the new drug which he was going to

use 'Herceptin' is believed to cause no harms to normal cells. Can

they go ahead with 6th cycle? Knowing that patient daughter is an

allopath, she would know the things better, the healer okayed.

 

After completion of 6th cycle, patient lost walking ability

altogether, in addition to urinary incontinence, lost control over

bowels too, did not even know when the motions occured, and totally

bed wridden. Needless to say, 6thcycle by Herceptin propelled patient

to the final diagnosis.

 

Jagannath, you have sent so many mails to ministers, can you send

this one to Professor Baum..author feels professors are more

attentive to such grains of scientific evidences, being teachers,

whom we always respect.
