I am not a fanatic.

Dear Dr Durgesh,

 

Namaskar. As expected you have given a truly balanced reply. Yes, so long as

people are willing to accept only instant results, things are difficult for the

" alternate " physicians. In fact this is the major point why allopathy could

surge forth ahead as it promised immediate relief.

 

But Dr Durgesh, I look at allopathy from the viewpoint of a patient who has been

an unwilling subject of the " science " just because my parents had infallible

faith in it. While the doctors prescribed their medicines and injections, the

compounders/para medical staff would often advise me to get away " while the time

was still ripe " . They found it difficult to see a child being marauded by the

system. I was too young to take my own decisions and being of a very docile

nature I " bit the bullet and bore the pain " . How I wish my father was a

homeopath. I know I would not have had to live through such a traumatic

experience had I been under the protective care of an alternate physician. Can

you imagine that all my problems stemmed just from a tendency to catch a cold?

 

I know allopathy will be around no matter how much its distractors rave and

rant. It is a goliath that has gripped society by the jugular and will not let

go till it has sucked the last drop of blood.

 

But must we turn the other way and keep quiet just because it is the " in " thing

at the moment? I am not a fanatic Dr. Durgesh. I am a very rational person. Even

today I am on very good terms with the allopathic doctors who treated me. I am

mature enough to know that it is the system which is to blame and not the

physicians.

 

Regarding the allopathic system banning food, the fear is not unwarranted. Today

we are seeing the resurgence of genetically modified food. Despite all evidences

to the contrary the lobbyists claim that GM food is best for us. God forbid, but

it may so happen that natural food products will one day be show cased in

museums.

 

This problem (of Codex) is not something that is affecting " far away West " . Our

own Government is ready to set up a drug regulating authority called NDA in line

with FDA of the USA. What is the guarentee that this NDA too will not behave in

the same fashion as the FDA? Is the alternate medicine forum strong enough in

India to lobby against mainstream medicine?

 

Dr. Durgesh I am not fighting against you or anyone else on this list. I respect

each one of you just as a student should respect his teachers. I know that my

knowledge is limited and maybe time too. But I find it very difficult to remain

silent. Please do not be annoyed with me. I would rather you bless me that I may

do my own little bit, like the squirell in the Ramayana, in spreading the word

about the benefits of alternate systems of healing.

 

Love & Regards,

Jagannath.
