typhoid

[Guest guest]

Hare Krsna, Dear Vaisnavas and Vaisnavis,

Please accept my humble dandavats. Jaya Srila Prabhupada!

 

As far I am in India, Karnataka, so the local nonayurvedic doctor diagnosed:

I am suffering from typhoid.

 

She gave some medicines, but didn't prohibit the solid food.

 

But according to Prabhupada:

 

"Of course, in your country I know that there is no such disease as typhoid,

but India there is a fever called typhoid. Here it is called typhosis, or

something like, medical term. That typhoid is disease of intestine. Now, in

that disease, any solid food is strictly forbidden. First time is twenty or

fourteen days, then twenty-one days, then forty-one days, up to sixty days.

He is to live only on glucose water. That's all. Other things is dangerous

for him. Now, if that typhoid patient desires to eat some solid food and if

somebody, out of compassion, gives him some solid food, then it is death for

him because in that condition he cannot enjoy".

 

Should I just follow to Srila Prabhupada's advise?

 

Your servant,

Radheshyama dasa
