“There will forever be some illness unless and until there is discipline about the food that you take everyday”
THE MOTHER
His son Rajesh bhai is an equally gifted artist. He is presently active in CEPT University at Ahmedabad which is ranked very high in the country. Sharmila bahen is also a very talented artist. She and Rajesh bhai were studying together and their love resulted in a blissful marriage. She used to write in Times of India. This true success story relates to skin disease that harassed Sharmila bahen.
Sharmila bahen hails from Maharashtra and is non vegetarian. Eating fish has been a routine since her childhood – as common as eating carrots and cucumber is for the vegetarians, - but one fish became the root cause for her skin trouble.
Sharmila bahen and Rajesh bhai went to USA in September 2006. They reached New York on 7th and after visiting other places, reached Los Angeles on 30th Sept. Non-veg food was almost a daily routine. One day in Hampton (NY), they took seafood: a lobster. Fish was also consumed 5-6 times during their travels. The long deep roots of her skin disease actually started growing silently from these meals.
On 8th October they bought some fish from a good Japanese store and cooked the meals themselves. Obviously they both had different fish in their plates. When she opened her eyes next morning, Sharmila bahen was feeling very uneasy. She vomited as she came out of the bed and soon thereafter she felt very weak.
There was another problem that day. A meeting was fixed with the head of department in Uni. of California (LA) on the very same day. If they give consent, then Sharmila bahen can prepare for her PhD degree. She thought that her sickness may be due to her anxiety about this interview / meeting.
She skipped meals that day and remained on fruits and ice cream only. But a clear change was noticed from that day onwards. Her sleeping hours became shorter, incomplete and also irregular. Initially she thought this could be a jet lag from air travels. They continued travelling & immediately went to Germany.
10th October, 2006. During her morning bath, she observed a small black spot near her left breast. Itching sensation was also there. They returned to India on 14th October. Their arrival was followed by hectic activity for Diwali festivals and she paid hardly any attention to her body. After Diwali, they travelled to Alibaug in Maharashtra. Alibaug can be also called fish-eater’s heaven. Fish in morning, noon and evening- fish all the time as though there is nothing else to eat.
They came back to Ahmedabad. The travels were over and so were the festivals. Her body said: listen to me now! Now there was a black spot on her thigh, along with itching sensation there. Slowly the trouble spread to her knees. Small red coloured grains erupted on the skin around her belly. The treatment started now, for the first time. She met homeopath Dr. (Mrs) Pandya.
Doctor diagnosed that this problem is caused by some food. She was right. But there was no improvement after twenty days of treatment. Doctor changed the treatment, describing it as a different type of disease now. It could even be fungal infection. This treatment went on from November 22 to December 31, 2006. Day by day, itching was increasing. The size of the pink coloured spots was growing larger & their colour was becoming darker. They were spreading towards all the joints, but were much more on the belly area. These medicines were stopped from 4th January 2007. Readers need not conclude that disease had increased due to homeopathy. In this treatment, lot of patience is required. In each type of therapy, the treating doctors always make their best efforts.
On 11th January 2007, she took anti-allergic tablets under allopathic treatment. After taking these medicines, she remained mostly asleep at home. Next day on 12th January, 2007, Sharmila bahen came to see me at Nihar. I examined her condition and decided that she must immediately stop taking all food grains. She fasted for about four days with the support of soup and fruit juices. She started feeling better and some days passed like this.
There was family pressure to consult Dr Shah, a skin specialist. The doctor diagnosed the disease as ‘ lichen plenus’. It is a German name, meaning 'like a plateau, like a flat-top mountain'. Here pink coloured, flat-headed & raised spots appear on the affected skin. The treatment started with one steroid injection and some tablets.
After taking these medicines, she experienced breathing problems. There was difficulty in breathing. On one hand there was loneliness. Secondly, there was no mood to talk to any one. Three steroid injections were given in twenty-five days, in addition to other medicines. Sharmila bahen thought of stopping this treatment. The joints had become rigid and she experienced difficulty in even standing up.
Meanwhile, one of her friends, Ms Bindu Sanghavi advised her to take cosmo-pathy treatment from Shri Kirtibhai Betai of Agra. Sharmila bahen sent an email and by the time the reply was received, it was already 28th February. Cosmo-pathy treatment, like Reiki, uses a pendulum plus a prayer is sent with its help to the patient located at any far away place. The good feelings are communicated to the patient through mental powers.
From 2nd March, cosmo-pathy treatment started. She was to take one spoonful of cumin seeds (jeeru) four times a day and also a spoonful of green grams (moong) at bed time. This treatment gave her good relief. One incident that happened in between needs to be mentioned here . Homeopathy treatment with some other lady doctor was also started from 12th February. She would go to consult her once a week. She was given medicines and was also advised to take fresh grapes every day. !
She was also told that 'without any harm, you may take about 500 gms of grapes daily'. It was a welcome permission. Every day eating more than 500 gms grapes became a routine. And the disease became from bad to worse. She started losing her skin. Pink coloured, grain-like eruptions on the skin were turning red now. When she visited the doctor third time after 21 days, doctor said: ‘please stop my medicine. I myself will phone & let you know after four days’…
There was a dentist friend in Baroda who was insisting that she should visit Baroda and consult a renowned skin specialist there. On the other hand, Sharmila bahen had determined that she will not go for any modern medical treatment. Though she unwillingly went to Baroda, she was all the while thinking about the side effects of the heavy dose of such medicines…
The doctor was a learned specialist. When Sharmila bahen met her, she was losing about two palm-fuls of her skin daily-(just like a snake routinely getting rid of its skin). In addition, there was strong itching sensation in the whole body. The body was suffering from skin inflammation and to cool it down; she would take some ice and rub it all over. Light pain in the stomach also continued almost non stop.
The sickness had become quite severe. Skin was now falling off by hand-fuls. Some skin would cling on and not fall and it had yellow colour. This case had come up before a learned doctor. He saw the patient and quickly advised that biopsy test is required. Biopsy report was sent to Mumbai. After five days the diagnosis was received; the name of the disease was given as ‘erycthoderma’ – but not for sure.
A doubt was expressed that symptoms are advancing in the direction of this name. In simple English, the name ‘erycthoderma’ means skin failure. We know about heart failure. Sharmila bahen’s skin was failing as per her doctor. If this disease is there, the skin will lose its capacity to maintain body temperature level. After 1-1-2007, Sharmila bahen was experiencing severe cold and would sleep under a pile of four blankets.
Sharmila bahen got frightened with this report. As soon as the report was received, she telephoned me. The doctor had briefed her about the future treatment plan. She explained the same to me also. In doctor’s opinion, the treatment for this serious disease will have to start with steroids and that too for a long period.
There will be side effects & there was a good possibility of developing blood pressure and rheumatism, etc. Kidney failure also can not be ruled out due to such heavy doses of medicines. It was also essential to consult the doctor once a week. Doctor also advised a second option, in case she was not in favour of taking steroids……
The second option was ‘cylosporain’, a medicine which is given to kidney transplant patients. These medicines suppress our body’s capacity to fight diseases, and therefore they are known as ‘immunosuppressant’. Her friends were pressing her – out of affection only - to take this type of allopathic drugs.
In such a serious situation, Rajesh bhai’s sixth sense became active and alert. Overcoming great dilemma & confusion, he telephoned to ask me: ‘what should be the way out?’ It was 9th March, 2007. I also felt a strong desire to do something to take her out of this grave situation. At last, Deepika and I went to their home in the same evening. Sharmila bahen’s condition had really worsened. Their children appeared quite frightened.
At first sight, one may fear that her disease might be highly infectious. Very next day, they had a consulting appointment with Dr Rekha bahen Sheth, a renowned specialist in Mumbai . I suggested to Rajesh bhai that they should first go to Mumbai, and on return, they should come to Nihar straight from airport. Both of them left for Mumbai and met Dr Rekha bahen.
Doctor examined Sharmila bahen in her clinic on 10th March, 2007. Dr Rekha bahen and her junior doctors present during the examination were somewhat surprised: if this disease was lichen plenus, it would not spread so fast! Dr Rekha bahen believed that it was something different, some thing not understandable that was causing her this entire problem. Please read carefully: these were frank and candid words of a very renowned and reputed skin specialist of India.
Doctor also said that presently Sharmila bahen’s condition is fragile and delicate. The disease has advanced much. If detailed investigations are carried out at this stage, they might give misleading results! "We will presently do only biopsy; and not check about BP or diabetes. Even if they both are indicated in the report (due to infection) , we are presently neither focusing on them nor treating them".
Dr Rekha bahen had forwarded all the details about Sharmila bahen’s biopsy to one senior doctor in Delhi & advised that: ‘ Please do not take any medicines till we get biopsy report. The steroids medicine taken earlier can not be taken for such a long period in any case. Lot of skin is falling away and it means huge loss of protein from the body. To compensate it, please take good quantity of milk. And also take fruits to prevent loss of salts and minerals in the body.’
Sharmila bahen felt greatly consoled by the frank and forthright diagnosis and plain advice. Next day morning, she walked straight into Nihar; much relaxed and peaceful now. But I was having some anxiety in the heart of my heart: I had only seven days time in my hands to treat her through naturopathy and show some visible results. After seven days, she had again to visit Dr Rekha bahen Sheth at Mumbai. Further treatment was to be decided on receiving biopsy report from Delhi.
From 11th March, 2007, I started my treatment. Each day, three to four times, she has to take one glass of goat’s milk with sugar. This comes to approx. one litre a day. Initially she did not like sweet taste , so she avoided sugar. But when she started feeling weak and low in sugar, she started adding sugar. Sugar level had gone down with sugar-less milk in one week.
In addition, aloe vera was applied on whole body twice a day. Mud pack was put on abdomen area. She did apan vayu mudra for about 45 minutes in a day. Water intake was restricted to bare minimum. Milk was her only food- every thing else a strict no-no. Natural coolness of aloe vera and deep breathing became her natural, unadulterated medicines .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Apan vayu mudra is a finger combination. This combination of thumb and fingers of both the hands is to be done for about 45 minutes - as when you remember to do it - during the whole day, in individual slots of one to ten minutes. The first finger of each hand is to be bent so as to press on the root of the thumb. Thumb is to kept upright, its tip touching the tips of second and third fingers. Apan vayu, through this mudra enables proper removal of urine and excreta from the body.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Soon, a miracle happened. By seventh day, the skin stopped falling, the itching sensation was reduced and more important than all this, her confidence level shot up. On 10th March, Dr Rekha bahen had advised that when you come here next week, we will get all tests done in Mumbai only. On 19th evening, I asked Rajesh bhai : what do you think about the progress so far? . He said that his heart and mind were now in peace and he was convinced that she can get cured only with our naturopathy treatment, though slowly.
20th March, 2007. A red-letter day in the history of nature cure treatment. The entire medical team in Dr Rekha bahen’s clinic was amazed to see the improved condition of Sharmila bahen. No one could believe their eyes that she is the same patient whom they had met 8-10 days ago! Dr Rekha bahen herself was happy to see her improved condition. Witnessing such a speedy recovery, she said that presently there is no need for any more tests.
Biopsy report was received from Delhi and the findings pointed out to lichen plenus but on a very minor scale. Doctor gave her a copy of the report on a CD and advised not to travel to Mumbai any more and get the required tests at Ahmedabad only. She further advised her to continue the naturopathy treatment, which had given amazingly fast results. She prescribed some multi-vitamin tablets.
Sharmila bahen’s prescription for goat milk therapy remained unchanged. Milk to be taken 3-4 times a day. Aloe Vera to be applied twice a day. After twenty days, mud pack -fortified with herbal medicines- was started for the body. After she started fasting with the sole support of goat milk, Sharmila bahen would ring up every fifth day to enquire if she can start eating some thing else also. With feminine compassion, Deepika once gave permission to eat apples.
I fought a little for withdrawing that permission and told Sharmila bahen that if you get any dietary concessions from Deepika, she will have also to observe fasts along with you. ..! After 22 days of fasting just with goat’s milk support, after a long wait, she got some concessions from me. She was allowed to take musk melon and also coconut water. Only these two fruits. Nothing more. Goat milk therapy was done for full 42 days.
22nd April, 2007.. It was like an independence day for Sharmila bahen. She was to start taking roti in next few days. We all have got some attachment with some foods and one example will prove my point. In 1997, one group of my patients was being taught physical exercise. I went downstairs only for ten minutes. When I returned, two newcomers – who had just begun their fasts two days ago – were engaged in a discussion: about the taste of a roti!

Today, even in 2012, Sharmila bahen has almost stopped all outside eatables. Home made food, cooked with little quantity of oil is her first preference. Her meals have hardly any extra sugar and jaggery (gud) has taken its place. Fish and non-vegetarian food have vanished from her menu altogether.
Every day, she devotes about 45 minutes for breathing exercise, light yogasana and other exercises. In monsoon, the exercises become irregular but otherwise it goes on for the rest of the year. People generally believe that naturopathy gives very slow results. Just think about this: in such a vast country like India, all the reputed doctors practising modern medicine were in dilemma about how to treat her, but nature cure – without medicines and without side effects - showed miraculous result in just seven days and proved its effectiveness. It gave 90% success at the end of 42 days and for the balance 10%, it took ten more months.
You may find it difficult to digest the fact that it took 10 more months for last 10% relief. This ten per cent included either some light coloured marks on the skin which has otherwise been cured or an itching sensation that kept coming up for five minutes once in a while or some such issues. The new skin looked almost like one before. But if there was a small trace of disease in a small spot somewhere & it has to be cured from its deepest roots, so that there is never a recurrence.
In countries like USA, about 80,000 people are hospitalised after eating fish this way and many of them meet their death. Creepers on which vegetables like bottle gourd ( dudhi) and cucumber grow some time come in contact with stones and its fruits taste bitter. Such bitter fruits can even cause death.
Such a poisoned fish may not itself die due to such contamination but can become a reason for death of people who may consume it.
Very few people proceed with courage and determination during the full course of the nature cure treatment. Without faith, one can not climb even few steps. Here, a full Mt. Everest was to be climbed. Patience, Faith, Self-confidence and Continuous efforts, combined with whole hearted support of Rajeshbhai became the formula for glittering success. We have not by-passed modern science. We had well integrated vitamins in her daily routine.
When modern medical science failed , we replaced the high powered medicines - a slow poison itself – with innocent , elixir-like natural products such as goat’s milk, fruits, treatment with medicinal plants and other nature cure procedures. Sharmila bahen was cured with the help five main natural elements and Mother Nature made us a tool in her hands for this treatment.
