Namaskar!
As a
management graduate, I learned to see things in a larger picture and see if a
new view point could be created.
When I was
introduced to Human Energy field sciences in late the 90s, a new world of
health evolved and a peep into the invisible world of energy dynamics
encouraged the study into why a person falls sick and how he gets well. The
study followed a PhD in Biofield sciences that allowed me to meet patients,
counsel and treat them with a new understanding.
Integrative
Healthcare practice made it possible to offer people and patients a more effective,
holistic treatment and a better understanding of their condition. Here was a
platform where along with medication, the patient is treated in multipathies
that made a positive difference on his physical condition, emotional and mental
bearing.
Patients and
their families go through a severe, sometimes acute phobia of the implication
of Vascular Disease, leading to heart attack, stroke. Patient’s family members
are subjected to a plethora of advice given by family, well wishers or more
intensely, those who feel their word has ego attached and pressurise the
patient into a difficult trial error self treatment system or most favored
treatment regime.
Taking the Doctor’s
advice becomes mandatory and the patients more often is at his mercy as to how
the treatment should proceed.
This book is
written with the intention of empowering every person to overcome the fear and
helplessness associated with such diseases. Recovery and successful treatment
depends equally on the emotional, mental involvement of the patient as is
medicine or other treatment systems.
A holistic
approach is suggested in this book.
The first
section explores briefly in understanding the progress made in treatments of Vascular
Disease in modern times and how the scientific and medical community has progressed
with Investigations and treatments options.
The section
on ‘Health’ explores how the body functions with just enough information is
given so a casual reader understands why disease occurs. Much is published
about what happens in a state of disease and conventional options of treatment.
The more difficult the jargon, the more impressed and anxious people become
about seeking help.
In simple
words, this section aims to demystify the intricacies of health and disease.
In my
personal experience the optimum treatment combination is using the foundation
of a holistic approach. Body-mind-soul. This is easy to follow using energy or
holistic healing, Aahar, Vihar, Vichar, Vyayam, Aushadhi and holistic healing
combined.
The
reductionist view of modern medicine is overcome in the section that explores
‘Going beyond medicine’. We are not different parts of a whole …. We are a
beautiful inter dependant, internally supporting network of energies. Different
energies are woven into organs and their interdependent functions are the
different metabolic systems. Guidelines on holistic healing for better health
are given here. These include marma stimulations, positive visualization and
hands on healing.
We all get
very excited with guidelines about food, so a larger section is dedicated under
‘Aahar’. An expanded understanding of what, how, why of Aahar is included here.
Our lifestyle
becomes the root cause of disease and information in ‘Vihar’ helps to resolve
many aspects.
Stress being
the trigger of most diseases, overcoming tension, strain with a different
guideline is explored in the section on ‘Vichar’.
The body is
designed to move, and sedentary life reduces rejuvenation, revival and balances
in health. Few suggestions are given in ‘Vyayam’ to help even the laziest
person.
In difficult
states, when home remedies are not effective anymore, we resort to taking
medication. Or at least that was the state few years ago. Today, pill popping
is common, and there are more problems with wrong medication than the disease
itself. ‘Aushadhi’ explains briefly how medication should work and an
explanatory note on the reasons behind the formulations we use for treating Vascular
Disease.
Our treatment
protocol is called SHARP (Sanjeevan Heart Attack Rehabilitation Program) and
this section explains what is involved, who can use it and what benefits
participants have experienced.
My
experiences with few select patients are given throughout the book as examples
to show how an integrative view made the difference. These are incorporated in
the treatment protocol SHARP. What started as a rehab program for heart attack
patients today encompasses patients of Vascular Disease, heart disease, deep
vein thrombosis, stroke and other high risk afflicted patients. Under the
guidance of highly acclaimed cardiac specialists and multi-pathy experts, this
protocol is available in Pune, Ahmednagar and promises to reach thousands soon.
Different
aspects of SHARP protocol are given that make a practical, affordable,
accessible, viable and clinically verifiable treatment option for all who seek
treatment, and for those who wish to take timely care.
I learned as
I practiced. Each person we encountered further added information that was
useful to many more in how best to help patients of difficult chronic diseases.
The learning process goes on.
The protocol
to practice these options is being offered by various doctor and under the
guidance of Dr Avinash Inamdar in Pune.
I have
enjoyed all the experiences, knowledge sharing and unique views of teachers,
trainers, patients, books, well wishers, family and friends who have helped to convert
this ongoing process into a book, which I am sure will help thousands more.
Happy
reading.
