Guest guest Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Dear ______, I do not understand how I have insulted you. I have always maintained that the patients today feel that their voice is not being heard by the medical community. They also feel that they are not being relieved of their ailments by the system of treatment which has the monopoly in the world today and is backed by governments and the industry, often by the use of force and legislations. They also feel that the doctors attention has shifted from the patients to other concerns. These complaints are not a secret but are known to all who are associated with the medical industry either as sellers or as end users, and all over the world. The real cause of concern is that despite voices being raised, the medical industry is not responding, let alone acting to redress the grievances. My job is not to prescribe medicines. Then I become a part of the system, and therefore become immune to the macro situation. My job as an activist is to act as a media between the patients and the doctors. I have my own place despite the tendency to cow me down by addressing me as " a common journalist " or an " unqualified person " . The treatment of eczema what we are discussing here is an issue which is quite old. While the holistic healers say that eczema is connected both with the immune system as well as the central nervous system, the allopaths say it is a localised problem. You must have read reports in scientific journals that the use of certain steroidal ointments for eczema and acne are leading to cancer and other autoimmune disorders. However holistic healers know that external and allopathic treatments of eczema, acne and psoriasis lead to internal disorders. Therefore here actually the system of treatment is at fault more than the medicines. Similarly all holistic healers know that rheumatism if interfered with allopathically, affects the heart. This too has been borne out by the fact that drugs for pain relief in acute arthritis have led to heart ailments and heart attacks. Thus, what we are trying to emphasize, is that there are certain forces both of the body and the disease that have been encapsuled in ayurvedic, unani, homeopathic, chinese and tibetan medicine texts. The modern doctors are doing a grave mistake by disregarding the knowledge contained within these texts. If you feel that by asking your profession to augment your knowledge by studying and testing these texts I am insulting you then it is your problem. I am not a fault because as an end user I have every right to advice and demand a better service. If you are so interested in your patients and sincerely wish to heal them then I feel you can do your job better by expanding your knowledge. After all it is the patients life which is at stake and not the doctor's. Regards, Jagannath.
