Real life story of a cancer patient cured by Distant Naturopathy


Cancer Patient living 16,000 km away  cured  - through
telephonic treatment by naturopathy




(A thrilling, real life story of a patient living in USA)



Mrs. Uma bahen Thaker of USA was reading “Gujarat Times”, a weekly newspaper published in her country and she came across one article about a cancer patient who was cured with naturopathy treatment from our Nihar Arogya Mandir. She immediately contacted me by email, describing her illness. So many such emails and letters are received and it is difficult to find spare time for free treatment of affording patients.

For some unknown reasons, I went through only Uma bahen’s email that day and sent her my phone number. We talked on phone and her treatment was started. Her breast cancer had relapsed after five years and it was cured by naturopathy without chemotherapy….


Jay Swaminarayan, Mr. Mukesh bhai, Mrs. Deepika bahen. I am sending copies of all my medical reports as per our telephonic talk. The latest reports of my cancer are quite normal and disease has gone! I am still on my thyroid medicines and please suggest some treatment for the same from your treasure of naturopathic cures. I am daily taking one Levothroxine 88mg tablet as prescribed by my physician. I am sending the detailed story about my journey to health with this letter.
After living in USA for 33 years, I very little practice of writing in our mother tongue. Occasional letter writing in Gujarati is now limited to our ‘rakhsa bandhan’ festival. My real life story begins with how I got to know about your Nihar Arogya Mandir and naturopathy treatment.
“From West Hartford, Connecticut, USA to
Ranip, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

When I read the article titled “Cancer gets cancelled” about Minal bahen Sheth’s experience after her chemotherapy at your Nihar Arogya Mandir in the GUJARAT TIMES (weekly) in July 2010, I hardly knew that this article would not only change my own life for ever but will be useful to bring back the joy of life in the lives of many others.
I was diagnosed with breast cancer for the first time in 2005.  I was operated and I also took chemotherapy as per the advanced medical treat available at that time. In USA, the patient is given very heavy doses of chemotherapy to remove any chance of relapse of cancer in future once again! Even then, in my case, in 2010, I was once again diagnosed with this cancer and the surgery was done second time on 17th June, 2010.
As per the advice of my Oncologist (cancer specialist), I was asked to take second opinion from another expert at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute on 16th July. (This is the highest ranked cancer institute in New England region of USA). It was clearly advised that I will have to take ‘chemo’ once again for six months, even after this second opinion! I was greatly disappointed. If my cancer can relapse in five years even after such latest medical treatment , then where was the guarantee that after the new course of chem., it would not happen third time! If it can happen second time, then it can happen third time also, isn’t it?
My thoughts travelled back to memory lane five years ago. I could once again experience what had happened five years ago. First, the diagnosis of cancer in October 2005. Then came the surgery. It was followed by very aggressive chemotherapy. There after, for seven continuous weeks I had taken radiation. I had already gone through such very painful times that time.





I felt very weak even to think about chemotherapy once more. I did lot of deep thinking myself. I discussed the subject with friends and my family and relatives. Every one said that there is no alternative but to take chemotherapy. But I said that I am very reluctant and do not wish to take it. But none of them agreed with my strong, inner feelings.
After these discussions, with the grace of Shriji Maharaj and my divine good fortune, I remembered the article I had read about Minal bahen’s cure. I repeatedly read it two to three times. Then I tried to contact Nihar Arogya Mandir around 19th or 20th July by telephone. This attempt was unsuccessful so that I sent an email.
In spite of his very busy schedule, Mukeshbhai replied my email. It was followed by our telephonic talk. After gathering all information about my condition, he said: “I can’t show any mercy on you. If I have to keep you alive, I will have to put you on fasts... please remember, fasting does not mean starving.”
Fasting is a completely scientific and very wonderful, age-old method of treatment in naturopathy but it is slowly disappearing in the modern times. I had no objection at all to such ‘medicine-less’ treatment. To me, his suggestion was really God sent. But my near and dear ones started to protest against this method.
  
Minal bahen’s article was published in Gujarat Times, USA. She had narrated her real life experience of Naturopathy treatment from Nihar in that article. Many emails and phone calls from USA were received after that.

One email was from a 75 year old Indian doctor in New York. He was unable to sleep or eat after his cancer surgery. I had replied his email as well as Uma bahen’s this email.

She had asked me that: “you do not take any phone calls and you do not know me also. Then how come showed willingness to talk to me?”

I had said: “There was some divine signal which had inspired me to treat you. I was obeying that divine direction.




















  
In the first round, my husband, sons and daughter-in-laws gave their logic: “You just have been operated for cancer. If you do not take food or nutrition, it will result in lot of weakness.” They were objecting to such naturopathy treatment due to their love and affection for me, I knew. But I was very determined that I will not take ‘chemo’ second time... No means No.
I talked to my husband Rohit about fasting. I told him: “Mukeshbhai has advised fasting on sweet lime (mosambi) juice for 40 to 50 days.  So, I am thinking of starting my fasts..” But he once again expressed his doubts about this method , so I decided that it will be better  that he directly talks with Mukeshbhai.
After talking to Mukeshbhai  just for one or one and half minute, Rohit agreed for my starting the fasts. As such, I was asked to fast with the support of sweet lime (mosambi) in my diet but in that season, that fruit was not available in our place. A small change was made and my fasting started with the support of red grapes. In short, the auspicious day of 29th July, 2010, became the starting point of my new treatment and fasting. 

Even if  someone is living 16,000 kms away, very good results can be achieved if the treatment is taken by the patient with full faith on you.

Her Husband told me just one sentence on the phone: ”We are just two of us. Our sons are well settled and they are living their life.”

I also replied in one sentence : “Though I am far away in India, I take full responsibility for Uma bahen’s life during my treatment.” He became very emotional and could not talk further and handed over the phone to Uma bahen.

Next day Rohit bhai  went to a store and bought 10 lbs ( 4.5 kg) of fresh red grapes. Well begun is half done. So half the battle was won with the starting of the fasts. This also became the beginning of a historical, miraculous real life story.





















In the beginning, first ten to twelve days were very difficult for me. In such testing times, I would contact Mukeshbhai every morning . Because of the long, 16,000 kms distance, the only option to be on telephone line. Even from such a long distance, Mukeshbhai continuously encouraged me, guided me and cooperated with me so well that this critical period of the first few days passed away without much difficulty.

It is really very difficult to treat incurable disease like cancer through a medicine-less therapy, and that too without meeting the patient, advising just by way of phone calls. Difficult because in the present modern times in the year 2011, no one has faith on a medicine-less, naturopathy treatment. I told Rohitbhai (Uma bahen’s husband): “I am not doing some trial and error attempt on Uma bahen. This experiment I have been doing on myself for last four years and I will now do the same on her.  We have treated cancer in other patients also in this manner”. In the middle of her treatment I arranged for a telephonic talk between Uma bahen and one such patient, Usha bahen Patel. Such discussions boost up courage and faith.

I received great warmth during my this naturopathy journey from my husband Rohit, my mother-in-law and my brother who had traveled from India for my heart surgery ( mitral valve repairing ; 19-2-2010 ). Added to this was great support from friends and relatives. On top of this, I was helped a great deal by the divine grace of Lord Swaminarayan and my strong will power.
Initially, every day, a new difficulty will crop up. But I kept on progressing as per the telephonic guidance and support. I am a patient for blood pressure and was already on medicine for that before I started fasting. At the appropriate time, fourteen days after starting my fasts, as per right guidance I stopped taking medicines for BP. In fact, my daily vitamin tablets were discontinued by Mukeshbhai saying that you are now living round the clock in the heaps of vitamins, so why to take artificial vitamins?
During my fasts, my BP level remained steady at 120/80 without medicines. Most surprising reality during fasting was that I was feeling more energetic day by day. I started doing my routine household work. I started feeling that life is becoming some thing different and good.
I had taken short term disability leave from my employers. (Uma bahen works in the finance deptt. of a bank on a good post).  I was required to go to my cardiologist for follow up visit at the end of 25 days’ of fasting. When he came to know that my BP is under perfect control without any medicine, he was amazed. However, he did not much accept my ideology of fasting.
During the fasting period, my will power and inner strength was growing, I developed a positive attitude and as a result, I started coming out of depression. In this period, I had opportunity to talk with Deepika bahen on one or two occasions and she also gave me lot of encouragement.
I also could talk with Usha bahen who was also a breast cancer patient and she was also on fasts. She described her experiences and gave me courage. Her fasts had started earlier than mine.  In this period, I was religiously reciting Jan Mangal Stotra of Lord Swaminarayan. Friends and relatives were cheering me up with warmth.

I lost 15 lbs (seven kg) weight during my 45 days long fasts. I started feeling more energetic and my strength was returning. In last four months, I had undergone two major surgeries (in February & June) yet I was feeling physically and mentally fit. I started going to my job for 3-4 days in a week from 4th October, 2010. It is really a miracle for a patient like me that I am now able to go for four days on my job and also attend to routine household work.
During this long period of fasting, my diet was mainly fresh, red grapes. I would take milk as and when required. I would daily take one hour long breakfast of mild ‘sun bath’ and also walk for an hour. Any time I felt weak or hungry, I would ring up and ask: “what can I eat now?” Different people have different needs depending on the environment in which they live and also their body constitution.
At the end of my real life story about my health and vigour, I would like to say that the naturopathy treatment from Nihar Arogya Mandir pulled me out of deep depression, helped me develop a positive attitude and very strong will power. Minal bahen too has helped many others like me and gave us a new direction of living well,  by narrating her own experiences. I shall forever be grateful to her also.
I still go to my oncologist ( cancer specialist ) once in every 3-4 months for check up and my ultra sound test (sonography) was done in February,2011 and its report was normal. This was done by my doctor because he had some doubt and he wanted to be sure through this test.
In October, 2011, one more incident happened. During a routine check-up doctor observed some thing in one particular report and he became a little doubtful and he cautioned us as well. I sent few emails to Mukeshbhai and also talked to him. He told us not to worry and also said that if there again is cancer report, it will be cured, like  it has been cured before. These words  gave us some relief but still there was some worry in the heart of my heart.
Finally, nothing came out. In February 2010. I was operated for mitral valve (heart)  related problem and as a result some internal skin / wall had become thicker at some places. Doctor had first thought of it as some unusual development and , with a serious face, had asked us to go for one more test repot.
For our peace of mind, we have decided to go for periodical check up and test. At present I am neither  taking any medicines nor am I under any treatment. Now, I am determined to defeat breast cancer with fullest faith on the Lord Almighty and also on naturopathy .

Friends. This real life , true story of regaining health and vigour as written by Uma bahen in her own words & is without any untruth to make it spicy or sensational. The therapy route is wide open. Which way to go for the cure  is now entirely  your choice.
If cancer can relapse after painful, aggressive chemotherapy and heavy dose of radiation, one might be inclined to believe that the cancer was not cured but rather suppressed with such heavy doses of treatment, full of dangerous side-effects.
This treatment is not of a very routine nature. You can not do it frequently. How was it possible to obtain such a good result without surgery , only through naturopathy? Fasting itself was a surgery, performed on the operation table prepared by Mother Nature.
Uma bahen remained on this operation table for full seventy days. All medicines and normal diet were stopped. The body healed itself and once the operation was over, she stared her daily routine diet.
Grapes in place of medicines. Walking in place of tablets for blood pressure. Sun rays in place of artificial calcium. Sun shine  also gives one type of chemotherapy, isn’t it? Tolerate it a little, take it with patience and you will benefit like never before.
Uma bahen’s story is very unique in the sense that her cure was medicine-less. It may happen that cancer may relapse once again. No harm in that. It will be again cured without medicines, because presently also it is cured without medicines ! To cure the cancer, modern science did  all that was best for it and worst for the body. And still it relapsed.


Come and sit in the lap of Mother Nature. It is pure joy and nothing else. Nothing burns you except mild sunshine. There is no medicine except self-control. Time is endless. Whenever you are ready and willing, nature is waiting to welcome you.
