With SAY
No to Allopathy
Disclaimer
: This article & views expressed are not for hurting any individual or
organisation. Objective is to make the health care system more holistic and
available for everyone easily irrespective of anyone’s economic status. Author
have highest regards for all the Doctors, Nurses, technicians, sanitation
workers who are braving all the odds to fight against the pandemic and many of
them have lost their invaluable lives too. With great empathy & to prevent further
loss of life due to over workload placed on the frontline workers, this article
aims put the things in the right perspective.
Today in
this PANDEMIC situation our Health care system is severely stressed. Sudden
unexpected surge of COVID 2nd wave have caused a really havoc. Politicians are busy exploiting and blaming
each other for the current hyper emergency situation. But in reality this unprecedented calamity is
due to undue dependence of Allopathy type of treatment. More than the disease, it is the panic
created by the system is causing more loss.
The
lifestyle and food habits have changed drastically and are resulting in most of
the mental & physical diseases. The common people have been made to believe
that whatever may be the disease only allopathy can cure the disease. For even
a headache , everyone is made to believe only a tablet can cure the headache,
whereas the root cause for the head ache is not analysed. Even in villages many are eating tablets and
taking injections for Sugar & BP.
Most of the common public have become sick psychologically. Without even
an iota of thinking commoner believe they have to take medicine to cure any
disease. In this scenario, for even a slightest cough or just above the normal
temperature people are thronging the Hospital.
Most of
us come across street dogs (wrongly called as stray dogs) & might have
noticed some days they eat grass growing on the streets whenever they feel
heavy with indigestion and they vomit the next day to clear their stomach &
lead their regular life. The dogs are able to observe their environment and
able to heal themselves without even consulting any doctor or going to
hospital. Human beings have also this
natural intuition / conscience inbuilt in us, but most of us tend to ignore our
internal call and we need a doctor to tell us that we are alright. Allopathy
based today modern medical fraternity wants us to do whole body health check up
to make us believe that there will be some symptoms which may lead to a major
ailment. Keeping all of us in tenterhooks. Fundamentally what is being loaded
in our mind is that we are all prone to diseases and modern medicine can only
identify the diseases with their gadgets.
Even
Traditional Allopathy was not for prescribing medicines for every symptom.
Earlier to World War II, in today’s standards, then Allopathy practitioners
would have been considered as ultra conservative. They were also analyzing the
patients’ by feeling their pulses with their fingers and diagnosed according to
their intuition and experience. During the war time, there was a necessity to
get the wounded soldiers back in to action by quickly eliminating the pain. So
the soldiers were given heavy dosed medicines to eliminate the symptoms or
external injuries only as it was a war field.
This 21st
century is for fast food & fast relief. So whatever that were offered to
soldiers are now being given to common public. A disease which takes time
gradually to build up is being cured by cutting off the parts itself which is having
pain. So definitely curing & long lasting methods arrived with thousands of
years of experience from this land, Siddha & Ayurveda are now being called
as alternative medicine & Allopathy as the main stream medicine. So the
present situation is a Doctor practicing allopathy is considered as superior to
other system of medicines’ practitioners because of instant symptoms removal.
Most of the students struggle a lot to become a MBBS doctor whereas other
system of medicines are looked down upon. Even for the latest edition of Corona, there
is no definite cure or medicine available in Allopathy. In Tamilnadu, Siddha Doctors
have 100 % success rate in curing the patients ( Ref. : https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/chennai/siddha-therapy-in-focus-as-tamil-nadu-govt-authorises-use-in-covid-treatment-6497651/).
Ayurveda has offered no of day to day solutions. Homeopathy is able to give
significant solutions. Yoga offers a permanent protection system. Traditional
Acupuncture & Mudras give simplest healing with great confidence to the
patients without even giving any medicine.
Yet all the root cause analyzing methods are called as alternative
system of medicines in India.
Why?
Allopathy practiced by the majority of the hospitals uses many electronic
Gadgets to assist the Doctors to analyse the patients and give reports in
volumes of papers, CDs, films etc… The
hospitals are spending millions of Rupees are purchasing all the electronic
equipments. So their overhead cost increases and the hospital owners cannot be
expected to run the hospital for philanthropy. The Return on Investment (ROI )
becomes the important criteria. So even if the patient requires a MRI or CT
scan or not, Doctors are forced to prescribe most of the tests which are not
necessary. Engineering is only getting more sophisticated than the core medical arena. Engineers are trying out do the human element in medical treatment by introducing more artificial intelligence elements.
Even Conscience keeping
doctors have to hide their integrity towards the patient welfare. It puts lots
of Allopathy doctors life under stress as they are not able to speak their mind.
Even though they know that the patient on their table is quite stable and many
not need any drugs, still they are forced to write for admission for
observation and write for few unwanted medicines. We have to note that wherever
any politician is interested in doing any business, the money spinning aspect
is more. Many of the leading hospitals & medical colleges are either
directly run by a Politician or his benami clan.
This makes a human being in a doctor or medical
fraternity gradually die and they are forced to look at patients as mere
numbers. Hence most of the allopathy
practising doctors are running holding on to tiger’s tail rather dragon’s tail.
They are forced to catch up the speed of the dragon in making money otherwise
the dragon will find out who are being dragged by its tail.
Present
day Allopathy is treating human body as separate compartments as though each
organ of the body operates independently. For e.g. when a patient is suffering
from ulcer which has spread from stomach to mouth, a ENT physician treats only
up to a portion ending with throat & area below the throat has to be
handled by a Pulmonologist or a Gastroenterologist. They prescribe two
different set of medicines for the same body. Simplest solution for the patient
is to eat when he/ she is hungry. Same away when a baby is born a gynaecologist
treats the mother only, with their patient (Mother) as priority &
Paediatrician treats the baby as the priority, that too when whatever
physiological & psychological changes on the mother is going to have effect
on the Baby. Human body which functions as one unit, where head to toe are
connected by several nerves, requires holistic healing including the mind.
This compartmentalization has made the healthcare system very expensive and
unaffordable to the common man. Health
care expenses has become so frightening that you can see many help seeking ads
in every social media for the young kids to elders suffering different ailments
seeking aids from philanthropist. The
general situation is everyone is scared of living & afraid of health issues.
So Allopathy centered health care system is not giving confidence to live &
everyone is tuned to buy health insurance plan or seek government’s help to subsidize the insurance coverage. Every advertisement on the television states
that Public is likely to fall sick if they do not buy their phenol or alcohol
based chemicals.
Current
Pandemic whether it has come naturally or as a biological war has stressed the
health care systems’ breaking point.
How many front line workers like Doctors,
Nurses, and sanitation workers have died? Reason is the wrong priority placed
over technological machines than on Human intuitions. Wrong priority for
Allopathy based symptoms treatment. What
is now needed is the understanding is to treat the cause & not the
symptoms. India’s original system of
health care was Siddha, Ayurveda & Yoga. These systems went to the root & prescribed
what to eat, when to eat, how to eat, where to eat, how much to eat. A sign of
a good medical practitioner is that the they must be able to tell the cause by
touching the pulse of the patient, watching the gait etc.. and try to cure them
with confidence giving talks, bit of changing in food habits & lifestyle.
In most of the cases patients’ minds plays the spoiler game. Mind which is
invisible to any electronic gadgets so far, can be treated only by soothing
talks and healing touches of the physician. Now today’s media outburst is of
over reporting & creating panic in the minds. It is more of a mind game,
where pharmaceutical companies want to exploit. The economy of health of the
nation & Human beings is wrongly rooted now.See the
cost of producing , bringing and distributing oxygen cylinders & blame
games between the politicians. Why do we need such a humongous infrastructure
of buildings, equipments, transport network after bringing down naturally grown
hills & forests ????
Right
from child hood we have to enable children learn yoga. Yoga postures are derived from the postures
of the animals. All the siddhas, yogis, rishis were the scientists in today’s
technical terms. They had researched on each & every herb, every sound, and
every colour. They did the bio mimicry of every creature and analysed their
life pattern. They collected the wisdom, compiled them in the form of hymns and
stored in the clouds as that can be downloaded from the thin ether to the
rightly tuned person at any point of time. Today’s science yet to reach that
advancement so we are not able to believe it.
We were all living based on village economy which attained
self-sufficiency to feed everyone
including the animals and all creatures to co-exist.
Every
village of pre-colonisation era had a set of operating procedures to contain
any pandemic. There were certain water tanks in the villages only suitable for
drinking purposes. They had set norms
for bathing and dress code for that. They had collective responsibilities to
clean the water bodies. These were taught with colour stories. Health of a
society was collective and holistic. Every place of worship was the energy center to recharge the mind & soul which does not have a place in today’s
name sake modern medicine. Today’s places of worship have become pleading centers for all the miseries faced by humanity.
We all
will definitely overcome this pandemic situation with many causalities behind.
But what we are going to build after this is the most important. Our priority
should be for build more oxygen centers in the form of trees. Let us green all
the hills, allow the rivers to flow, allow the forests to flourish, live in a self-sustained
village with an open mind to observe the Nature and its pattern & live in
sync with that.
This
article is not to for discarding one system of medicine. Let us use Allopathy
only during emergency like road accidents until we have high speed vehicles
zipping past the highways. Let us prioritize health & well being through natural way of living in sync with
nature. Let us understand one fundamental thing that each body is different and
environment, life style for each individual is different. Life in earth is a
great opportunity for every being. So let us live & let other beings also
to lead a happy life in this planet.
