Karma and disease.

[Guest guest]

Dear Dr ____,I am sorry to be late in replying to your mail. I had missed it altogether.If modern medicine accepts karma then a lot of suffering can be avoided. Theayurveds (also Tibetan Medicine) study the horoscope of the child to know what diseases he is predisposed to. Thus they can ward off karma to a certain extent. They can also advise the parents accordingly so that they take better care of their wards byeducating them to be honest and God fearing individuals. Hence good values areinculcated so that the child does not adopt a wrong lifestyle later on in life.In my case also I could discern that the most painful period coincided withthe mahadasha of the planet that is the most malefic in my horoscope. Had Iknown at that time I could have taken recourse to remedial measures.I know it is cruel to blame patients for their illness. Here I am notdiscussing with patients, but doctors. If I was so cruel and without

compassionas you suggest then I would not be carrying on my campaign despite my personalpain and difficulties.You talk of cancer. I know of an oncologist who has written a book dealingwith the need for a fresh approach to cancer and its treatment. In his book awhole chapter has been devoted to karma. An associate of his educated us on hisideas and showed us the book at a Rotary meeting. As per the oncologist, canceris an all pervading disease that attacks the entire body-mind-emotion system andthus requires a holistic approach. He openly criticises radiation andchemotherapy. Genetic engineers too have decried chemotherapy and radiation asthey say it helps spread the cancer. Please refer to the book, "Living with thefluid genome" by Dr Mae Wan Ho.Diseases like cancer and AIDS are spreading due to chemical intervention withdisease. The entire system breaks down due to the repeated onslaught. Unlessthis trend is

checked we have a horrible future ahead.I suggest you look at the macro situation and try to find out why more andmore patients are coming down with cancer. I also suggest you study the holisticmethods sincerely so that you yourself can complement your treatment withholistic therapies. Now there are many universities all over the world who areoffering short term courses on holistic therapies for the modern medicos.However when you are studying them you should keep aside your reductionistviews and immerse yourself in the holistic concept. Else you will entirely misswhat these therapies have to offer.Currently in India the courses are severely impeded as the GOI has putunnecessary stress on anatomy/physiology/pathology etc. in its view to "upgrade"the knowledge available. This is a serious flaw and is a serious impediment tothe students who end up being nowhere. The courses should immediately be revisedto

reflect the classical views. I have been writing on this matter to theauthorities.Please take my above suggestion seriously. I am not joking. If the healthscenario has to improve then the good and honest mainstream doctors too have tocome forward and do their bit.Regards,Jagannath._____ , " <rs.......... wrote:>> Dear Jagannath,>> With this one statement about how "people are both the problem and the> solution", you have demonstrated a remarkable lack of both knowledge and> compassion.
