Medical Corruption : Solution is very difficult to find.

[Guest guest]

Dear Ramakrishna ji,

 

The solution to the current medical scenario is not easy. I have been studying

and interacting with people on this issue for a long time. Right from the

beginning I have been ignored, cold shouldered and was also subjected to intense

hatred. It did not take me long to find out why.

 

The medical industry employs a huge number of people. Almost everyone has

somebody working in it as either a doctor, para medical staff, technician,

medical representative, scientist, chemist, teacher, student, or associated as

businessman or shareholder. That is if they are not involved in it themselves.

Most of these people have entered this industry after incurring a huge initial

expenditure. Parents have toiled day and night to raise their children to be

doctors. The students themselves have sacrificed a lot. It is not that all

doctors are corrupt. A majority amongst them try their best to serve. Therefore

if one questions the justification of having this system vis a vis other

alternatives, then the reaction is bound to be violent. I realise this and

therefore I do not mind the brickbats.

 

I speak on behalf of the patients. I speak for alternatives and the need to

have them. Every other sector has competition but this sector has a bully having

a monopoly that does not want other views to survive. If you study the history

of medicine in detail and the comments and opinions thereon you cannot but

notice that dissenting voices have been silenced and their work purged. As a

result the patients suffer. Not only the patients but the entire population

suffers as all the traditional wisdom on health that mankind has accumulated

over centuries have been ignored and bludgeoned so that the bully survives and

prospers.

 

What is the most striking is that common sense ideas of health have been

thrown to the winds. A very good example has been given by Rajendra ji when he

talks about the acidity and the alkalinity of the body and the resultant build

up of carbon dioxide at the expense of oxygen. This is a fundamental concept

that all other systems other than the prevalent have as their core. Acidity is

increased not only by food but also by our actions as well as thinking patterns.

One feels weakness after anger and strength after a good thought or deed. This

is because of the intricate relationship between the body and the mind. Does not

stress lead to acidity and destroy the equilibrium of the body?

 

The influence and thoughts of the modern system has eaten into our social

fabric. By concentrating on viruses and pathogens the attention from the rules

of living has shifted to mere physical hygiene. Even that is not possible today

as the mind no longer allows us to preserve our bodily purity. As a result we

suffer from build up of toxins. These toxins are pushed back into our body

instead of being eliminated. On top of this outside toxins are either injected

or fed as medicines. This continues until the organs give up under pressure and

at last the unfortunate patient has only pain and intense suffering as

companions. Ayurveda clearly states that it is " ama " (toxins), their creation

and faulty elimination that causes disease. This " ama " may be a result of food,

unhealthy living, unhealthy thought process, unhealthy emotions, unhealthy

atmosphere, environment or unhealthy relationship with nature. This is the

sumnum bonus of health and disease certified not only by our ancestors

but also by the likes of Hahneman, Mikao Usui to Plato and Hippocrates. Mens

sana in corporo sano, a healthy mind in a healthy body. The truth, plain and

simple.

 

Man is a complex creature as it is. By subjecting him to a " system of

medicine " that only concentrates on the destruction of symptoms rather than

addressing the dis-ease we have exponentially increased his complex nature apart

from increasing the complex nature of disease. Add to it vaccinations that eat

into his soul and one shudders to think of what one gets. As pointed out by

Hahnemann vaccinations lead to a state of the body he terms " vacciniosis " .

Caused both by vaccine ingredients as well as by animal serum the end result is

very similar to the state of the body called " sycosis " by homeopathy. Ordinarily

one acquires this state of the body only after the supression of veneral

diseases. It is sycosis that causes the internal organs to be affected by

disease. We have no one to blame really. We PAY people to do this to us.

 

But this simplicity does not beget huge returns. You can bring up an empire of

love based on these tenets but not a corporate culture that is by modest

estimates pegged at 2,00,000 crores annually. This is the business of peddling

death.

 

What more can I say? The mails that regularly land in my mailbox are no longer

hidden threats and are becoming more and more ferocious everyday. But I don't

really bother. Modern medicine has nearly finished me. If it's perpretators take

what is left I will be relieved of a lot of pain.

 

I am a very small fry. Our Health Ministry too is ineffective against this

powerful monster. I know what choice epithets have been directed against our

Health Minister for daring to suggest that the modern doctors could learn from

the alternate systems. Today we can speak against God, we can speak against

George Bush, we can speak against Saddam Hussain or Osama Bin Laden and yet

survive. But this Frankensteinian monster called " modern medicine " is no joke.

It will rest only after all life is obliterated from this planet.

 

Man is not a machine as the " medical system " suggests. Even going by that

precept I can give you an example. A very intricate piece of machinery is

devised. To save it from damage certain in built damage control systems are

built into it. A siren that wails, a red light that comes on, a needle pointer

that points etc. This machine falls into the hands of the wrong mechanic. When

the siren wails, he smashes the speaker. When the red light comes on he smashes

the bulb. When the panel needle points he destroys the instrument panels. Now he

is satisfied that the machine is perfectly alright because there is no siren, no

light, no active needle that points out the danger within. However the machine,

unable to express itself, very soon starts shuddering sending the mechanic into

a tizzy wondering what went wrong, and then stops altogether. The mechanic is

aghast and says, " I tried my best but could not save the machine " .

 

The practitioners of alternative systems are not very eager to come to the

fore and take the responsibility into their hands. This is because they, by

noticing the current disease symptoms, are aware that mass deaths are just

around the corner. By hogging the limelight at this stage they don't want the

massacre to be blamed on them. They would rather wait for the consequences to

surface fully and the responsibility fixed before charting their plan of action.

 

Can we blame them?

" I cherish my right to believe as I wish, and I will defend the right of

others to believe differently. We need to learn to live together in peace by

focusing on our similarities, not our differences. I'll go to my Church and you

go to yours but let's walk along together. " - David M. Breshnahan.
