In tune with Cosmic Oneness
His world came crashing when he heard he had oral cancer. The word cancer spelled doom for the life of 38-year-old aeronautical engineer Ratan Paul. Initial biopsy and MRI confirmed the presence of carcinoma in its initial stage. Most cancer specialists advised amputation of the affected parts. They also said it might relapse. One friend suggested homoeopathy. Most people derided the suggestion. But Ratan decided to give it a try.
Patients around the world face the dilemma as to which system of medicine they should opt for. But a sizeable part of the Indian people believe in alternative healing.
HOMOEOPATHY
Homoeopathy is made up of two Greek words, 'Homois' meaning 'Like' & 'Pathos' meaning 'Suffering' . Homoeopathy is a specialised system of medicine based on the natural law of healing - likes are cured by likes or 'similia similibus curantur'. A substance in a certain form and dose that causes disease-like symptoms when given to a healthy human being may be used to cure the same symptoms in a diseased person. This is the basis of homoeopathic drug proving. Dr Hahnemann, the father of homoeopathy believed that diseases are caused by imbalance of the 'Vital Force' which maintains the mental, physical and moral balance of an individual. Homoeopathy helps in aligning and increasing this 'Vital Force,' thus preventing the diseases from recurring. Dr Indira Pal, BHMS, Calcutta, further stressed upon the facts that a homoeopath does not only look at the pathological and radiological test reports but pays special attention to the individual's symptoms, mental frame, his reaction to cold or heat as well as particular symptoms pertaining to the disease . A homoeopath having a degree in BHMS is trained in all aspects of medicine - anatomy, physiology, surgery, pathology, besides the homoeopathic Materia Medica (collected knowledge about the therapeutic properties of medicines used for healing). Ayurveda
The 5000-year-old system of medicine, Ayurveda is recognised by WHO as a TRM (traditional medicine). Ayurveda is formed by the union of two words 'Ayush' (meaning life) and 'Veda'. The means by which we can know the science of body is Ayurveda. According to Acharya Balkrishnaji of Patanjali Yogpeeth-Divya Yog Mandir (Trust) says, 'Ayurveda is a holistic therapy and unlike other treatments of medicine, do not have any side effects. The basis of any type of healing is yog (union of mind, body, spirit and cosmic forces) and ayurveda only.'
A person facing any kind of problem can first come in the swastha vritta (health circle) of ayurveda. Ayurveda cures by taking care of ahar vihar (food and habits), pathya apathya (edible and non-edible) and dietary regulations.
Acharyaji says not letting a person fall sick is by being nearer to nature. So shodhan kriya (method of purification); langhan, upvas (fasting) are all elementary entities of Ayurvedic system. Three stages of disease are incorporated in the system of ayurveda. Sadya (curable), Kashta sadhya (cure with difficulty), Asadhya (in-curable). 'There are successful cures for deadly diseases like diabetes, heart diseases, cancer. But for AIDS still a lot more research is needed on the same,' says Acharyaji Balkrishnaji.
Reiki
Reiki is an energy healing system based on the philosophy that thoughts have the power to direct energy that shapes the world. Rediscovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century, Reiki is made up of two words - '' and 'Ki'. '' means intelligence while 'Ki' denotes life force. Taken together, 'Reiki' is universal energy. Reiki heals by raising the vibrations of the being or object to be healed, closer to that of the Reiki practitioner. Reiki heals a problem at whatever level it may exist i.e., body, mind or spirit. Dr N.K. Sharma, Grand Master, Reiki Healing Foundation, says, 'We receive this energy and we channelise this energy through our palms. If a person increases one's vibrations, then they start receiving the cosmic energy in the body which can then be transmitted to anything or anyone through their hands.' According to Dr Sharma, the master works on you for what is called attunement during the initiation process. They work on the chakras and the aura. When your energy centres have been activated, you start receiving energy. The energy starts to accumulate in your hands and you feel the flowing sensation.
Attunement is unique in Reiki; it's not there in any other healing science, be it allopathy or ayurveda. The energy once activated remains with you for the rest of your lifetime ' you can of course activate it further by applying it to yourself and others. Reiki simply removes the obstructions in your energy channels so that it starts to flow smoothly. Reiki is also not concentration-dependant. You could be watching television at the same time as giving Reiki.Reiki works for various aspects of our life ' relationships, goal achievement, monetary success, memory enhancement etc. Anybody and everybody is eligible for Reiki initiation. Even the worst of outlaws, when they practice/experience Reiki, are often transformed. Those who come in with doubts go back convinced.
Reiki increases positivity, it increases confidence, it activates your psychic powers, it takes you towards spiritual enlightenment ' when you perform Reiki neutrally, you obviously have to connect with the cosmic/spiritual.
Nabarun Banerjee, a filmmaker based in Delhi, says that by undergoing only 1st degree Reiki attunation, he got great relief from his two-year-old acute asthma. Nabarun went on to take 2nd and 3rd degree attunations and has become a Reiki masterhealer. He now enjoys regularly playing polo.
Energy treatment (Bioenergetics):
A more advanced system of alternate healing has originated from the science of bioenergetics. It is more appropriate to classify it as essential medicine. It is known as Energy Treatment.
It adopts applications from other modern science like advanced molecular biology, advanced quantum physics, resonance of wave lengths and theory of dissipative structures. It also applies healing techniques from the proven traditional Chinese medicine, and universal command points which regulate energy flows in the body. According to Dr M. Sathiamurthi, specialist, energy medicine and bioenergetics, Energy Treatment scans and measures life energies in your body and finds out the blockages and other defects. It then removes these defects by energy transmissions from natural herbs and healing substances.
Dr Sathiamurthi says that the life energies radiate in the form of electromagnetic wavelengths. Energy Treatment obtains information on the energy discrepancies by quantum physics techniques. It extracts information on your root cause disorders from your body energy fields. That information also contains the clues to healing your disease.
Energy Treatment employs colours too for healing. The appropriate colour wavelength missing in your body is identified and restored by application of a colour filter. As a result, Energy Treatment restores all round health. It restores perfect energetic symmetry by centring all your energy fields. It corrects the defects in your body in all its important functions, systems, glands and organs.
Dr Sathiamurthi gets clues of your deep disorders by Lecher Antenna Scanning. He gets further clues by measuring the energy flows in your 24 energy meridians. He treats you by more than 300 procedures. He does not give any oral medicines or injections. He uses hi-tech instruments like the bioenergetic tester, quantacmos and acmodermill.
When asked about the success rate, Dr Sathiamurthi said, 'Mostly we succeed if the patient comes to us within the critical time. Results vary depending on health factors, genetic and heredity factors, age and extent of illness.'
Naturopathy
Naturopathy, also called nature care, prescribes the 'return to nature' formula for all physical ills. The philosophy working behind it is that left to nature, nature can take care of herself. Naturopathy presents a strong position against the prevention of diseases and stresses on the play of natural defence mechanisms, which are self-curative and self-preventive. According to naturopathy, diseases are physical manifestations of the body's attempt to heal itself, when it falls out of harmony with its environment. Talking to TSI, Dr Salila Tiwari, a naturopath says, 'Naturopathy is an art for healthy living.'
Naturopathy is primarily based on three principles: that the body possesses the power to heal itself through its internal vitality and intelligence; that disease is a manifestation of vital force applying itself to the removal of obstructions to the normal functioning of organs and tissues; that naturopathic cures takes a holistic approach to health. Similar to Ayurveda, naturopathy seeks to stimulate the body's inherent power with the help of the five natural elements'earth, air, fire, ether and water. Naturopathy follows three stages of treatment. In the first stage, diagnosis is done without using invasive techniques such as biopsies as naturopathy stands against surgery and use of drugs. In the second stage, detoxification is done which includes colon irrigation (to cleanse the colon), fasting, massage (to cleanse the skin), deep breathing (to clean the lungs), baths and exercises. The third step includes a new diet with vitamin supplements, herbal compounds or acupuncture. Naturopathy considers the body to be a self-healing being.
Dr Salila says 'In India, almost 10,000 naturopaths are making people aware of this system of healing. There is a big hospital of naturopathy in Pune and we are trying to upgrade the same with modern facilities. We are also running a 33-bed hospital in Uttarakhand.'
In naturopathy, there are definitive cures for diseases like cancer, heart diseases, diabetes and common ailments etc.
Yoga
Exercises helps only at the physical level but for treatment at physical, mental and spiritual level, Yoga is the only way. Swami Ramdev told TSI, 'To reestablish the age old scientific tradition of yoga and Ayurveda, Bharat Swabhiman trust was formed. The campaign was initiated to conserve Indian culture and traditional Indian medicine.' When asked on the emergence of different strands like Power Yoga, etc, Acharya Balkrishnaji replies, 'Yoga vidya is only one. It is based on Maharshi Patanjali Ashtanga Yoga. And that is the only complete Yoga.'
Dr S. Laskar, ex-resident doctor, LNJP Hospital, an allopath, says 'No system of medicine is complete. If allopathy lacks the usage of holistic approach, other systems lack the knowledge of utilising advanced science and technology. He stressed that choosing a system of medicine should be based on the constitution of the individual and also to his ability to respond to any system of medicine.
By the way, the oral cancer of Ratan Paul, mentioned at the start of this article, is responding well to the homoeopathic treatment. His condition has consistently improved. In Bhagwat Gita Krishna says to Arjuna 'Yukaharaviharasya yuktachestasya karmasu. Yuktasvapnavabodhasya yoga bhavati duhkhaha'. It means: 'The one, whose diet and movements are balanced, whose actions are proper, whose hours of sleeping and waking up are regular and who follows the path of meditation is the destroyer of pain or unhappiness'. The message seems relevant even today. Have a great Health!
'Alternative system of medicines do not have any side effect'
Do you believe in the alternative systems of medicine?
See, alternative systems of medicine do not have any side effect. Since there are no chemicals used in these medications and it has been practised in our country for ages, they are safe.
Do you think practitioners of alternative systems can fill this gap of shortage of good medical practitioners ?
Yes, this is an accepted fact that there is a shortage of medical practitioners and the Central Government under the department of 'Ayush' is trying to increase Ayush doctors in villages.
The Supreme Court is not recognising degrees in alternative streams. What is the solution for awareness of alternative systems of medicine?
Yes, this issue is pending for a long time in the court. But there is permission for the practice of alternative systems like Yoga and Reiki which do not have any side effect.
