PROLOGUE authors note
3 years back, I developed a sensation of low fever throughout the day. Even
after consulting lot of doctors and series of complex tests, the reason could
not be diagnosed. This was causing lot of mental and physical stress. One
day I was introduced to Water Therapy by a friend, and within a weeks
time I started feeling better. Today this sensation of fever has reduced
significantly, and my own faith in water therapy has increased. I always
wanted to share this complimentary method of healing with the world so
that people could benefit the way I have been benefited. This is my way of
expressing love for man kind.
In this book four Complimentary methods to health is discussed.
1.
Water Therapy
2.
Jin Shin Jyutsu.
3.
Oil Pulling (only in revised edition)
4.
Health in your Kitchen (Only in revised edition)
All these methods are very ancient, but unfortunately they are not well
documented. This is an attempt to spread the awareness about it.
The due credit for researching on Water Therapy must go to Dr Fereydoon
Batmanghelidj (M.D), and to Master Jiro Murai for Jin Shin Jyutsu. This
book is inspired by the work of these masters, who had devoted their lives
on the subject. In utmost humility I do not proclaim expertise on these
subjects.
I also wish to thank the three most important women, Padma my mother,
Rita my wife and Kshitij my daughter, who have always been supportive in
all my endeavors.
I am grateful to Kumar dada for motivating me to write this book.
I take this opportunity to thank Salona and Anuj Gupta from UK for
facilitating the third edition of this book.
Grateful to Archana Jain for her efforts and translating this book in Hindi.
Disclaimer:
This book shall deliver the basic knowledge on these three methods. I
would request the readers discretion to use this book more from the
perspective of information. I wish to emphasis that this book in no way is
a substitute to medical treatment; Please consult competent Medical
Professional before starting the procedures.

Kingdom, and America. During this time the term water cure was
used synonymous with hydropathy, the term by which hydrotherapy was
known in the 1800s and early 1900s. However, the therapeutic use of water
precedes this popular revival. Its use has been recorded in
ancient Egyptian,Greek and Roman civilizations. In 1797, there was a
publication by Dr James Currie ofLiverpool which emphasizes on the use of
water in the treatment of fever and other illness.
In olden days it was believed that Aamrit (nectar) - blessed water, would
increase the life span. Have we ever thought an alternate meaning to this
concept? The word Aamrit is combination of two words. Aam and Rit.
Aam means common and Rit means procedure. It is possible that there was
a common procedure of drinking water in those days which would keep
mankind healthy and free from diseases. Was it water therapy? If yes then
Aamrit could have been the procedure of drinking water and not
necessarily the type of water.
Water is the most abundant element in our body. Approximately 73% of our
body is made of water. This means a 100 kg person really has 73 kg of water.
Like the Earth, which is three-quarters surrounded by water, the body is
three- quarters water. So, quite literally, all the cells in our body are
floating in an ocean of water. The water in our body contains different types
of salts.
We do not even realize the fact that this earth is identical to our bodies in
respect of water. All the five elements of Earth are present in the body. Like
marine animals and land animals, water cells are present in the blood as
well as in the organs. It is fascinating to relate different aspects of the Earth
to the body.
Like the geochemical processes that occur on Earth, where the oceans
regulate land temperature of different landscapes, water in our body
distributes heat in the body. It is a vital medium in which all chemical
reactions of the body occur. All the body processes occur due to enzymatic
reactions and zillions of reactions that occur in our body every second are
promoted by water! Most of the reactions of the body either involve taking
in or giving out of water. Just like the ocean is the medium for bulk
transportation, water, in the form of blood circulates nutrients and
hormones both within, and between body cells.
Earth is the only planet we know which has life and that is because of water.
Similarly, we can live without food for many weeks but without water, we
cannot exist beyond a few days. Keeping this in mind, we will discuss the
purpose of water for the detoxification of the body and mind.
Generally, people have the idea that drinking plenty of fluids is sufficient to
replenish water in the body. The water that is taken along with the fluids
is adequate for maintenance of the body. But we are concerned about
cleansing the body for health.
We are all aware of the fact that, 'water is life' and it is one of the
essential elements for healthy body. All the important activities of the body
are regulated and dependent on water. It carries all the hormones,
vitamins, chemicals and oxygen to all the parts of the body. It is therefore
called the universal solvent and even serves as a natural remedy for many
diseases.
There are two types of toxins that are produced in our bodies or that enter
our bodies through the environment.
Water soluble and water insoluble toxins.
The job of getting rid of these two types of toxins is assigned to two major
organs of the body. One is the liver and other the kidneys. Kidneys flush out
water soluble toxins with the help of water and the liver flushes out water
insoluble toxins through the help of bile. The by-products of hormonal
breakdowns and other metabolic products are water insoluble toxins that
are flushed out by the liver. We will first discuss the kidneys and then the
liver.
There are two million nephrons, the micro-chips of kidneys. These
nephrons filter about 2000 liters of blood every day. Working with the
kidneys, water helps to flush out toxic substances and waste materials from
the body. It also helps the kidneys to produce sufficient urine to keep the
body's inner chemistry (pH) in balance. If the chemistry (pH) is disturbed,
the reactions are hampered, and these manifest as diseases. Hence, for the
body to be healthy, water should be abundant. This is the key to water
therapy.
Every day a huge number of chemicals reach the kidneys which are to be
flushed out through urine. These include metabolic waste like urea (high
protein diets cause high urea production), uric acids, breakdown products
of hormones, vitamins, salts (sodium, potassium etc). All these are natural
and the kidneys are accustomed to them for thousands of years.
Modern man's kidneys, however, are challenged with thousands of
manmade toxic chemicals that enter the body through a variety of ways. The
sources include food (coloring agents, flavors preservatives, sweeteners,
pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, hormonal substances and antibiotics
from dairy products), cosmetics (tooth paste, shaving creams, sprays, dyes,
lipstick, eye lashes, nail polishes and removers), environmental pollutants
both indoors, and outdoors.
Thus the body is choked with chemicals and the burden goes to the liver and
kidneys. The liver converts the fat soluble toxic chemicals into water soluble
chemicals and thereby helps the kidneys to flush the toxins through urine.
However, with limited water supply, the kidneys cannot completely flush
out metabolic and foreign waste. Therefore, metabolic wastes accumulate
and cause diseases like cancers, allergies, hypertension, Parkinson's,
kidney stones, gall stones, kidney failures etc. Accumulation of foreign
chemicals accelerates the cause of the above diseases and also triggers
other ailments. Water alone can help the body to get rid of these wastes.
All therapies -especially alternative healing - are directed towards cleansing
toxic chemicals out of the body. They might use herbs to achieve
detoxification. But they cannot be done every day. Since water is the most
abundant component of the body and is also the safest, most economical
and natural cleansing agent, it works very well. Many friends have
Water is vital to your health. Every part of your body is made up of cells.
Protoplasm, the basic material of living cells, is made of fats,
carbohydrates, proteins, salts, and similar elements combined with water.
Water acts as a solvent, transporting, combining, and chemically breaking
down these substances. So, we need to drink water in order to keep our
cells hydrated, to keep our body's electrochemical balance to stay alive. Yes,
drinking water regularly is healthful.
As someone said: No man-made medicine in the world can heal as
effectively as clean drinking water!.Sometimes we get headaches, back
pain, and other soreness simply because our muscles have become very
stiff. Our muscles consist largely of water and as such, we must keep them
hydrated. The spinal cord discs also carry water, most of which supports
your upper body. In addition, joints must be kept lubricated all the time.
stop drinking beverages that deplete our water supplies. Believe it or not,
most beverages that are consumed today actually don't offer hydration;
drinking soft drinks results in a loss of water in your body, NOT a gain in
water. Once you drink one bottle of a soft drink beverage, you feel like you
still need more, and thus the body is trapped in a never-ending cycle of
craving for hydration that simply cannot be met by consuming soft drinks.
What your body truly craves is water. Please make the children understand
this otherwise we will have society of diseased people in future. Do you now
understand why our grand parents were healthier than us?????
Caffeine is also another water-depleting drug. Consuming caffeine in any
form, whether soft drinks or coffee or pills, creates a diuretic effect in your
body, which means your body begins to eliminate water through urination.
Sadly, most people continue to drink alarming quantities of soft drinks,
coffee and other beverages that actually deplete water from their systems.
There's another fascinating point on chronic dehydration and weight loss
that's worth mentioning here, too many people who are attempting to lose
weight end up in a state of chronic dehydration because they don't want to
drink water for fear that it will add "water weight" to their bodies. They
actually impair their body's ability to metabolize fat because they're afraid
to drink enough water on a regular basis. In reality, being fully hydrated is a
prerequisite to weight loss. If you want to lose weight, you have to give your
body enough water so that it's no longer in a state of emergency. When the
body is in a state of chronic dehydration, or a state of emergency, it will not
let go of fat supplies easily. It wants to hold on to everything it can eat or
drink. The only way to convince your body to let go of body fat, and start
metabolizing body fat, is to drink a lot of water - enough water so that your
body feels safe in letting go of unneeded calories. (Remember: water has
zero calories, is low-carbohydrate and has zero grams of fat, so drink up!)
It's also interesting to note that many people who go on short term diets
and who think they're losing five or ten pounds over a couple of days are
really only losing water weight. They haven't lost any body fat at all but they
have managed to put themselves in a state of chronic dehydration that will
inevitably lead to weight gain once they return to normal habits of eating
and drinking. People wanting to loose weight should practice Water
Therapy with warm water and will be surprised with results!
Dr B states that there's no money in the treatment of disease with water, so
there's no motivation for any organization whatsoever to reveal the truth
about the role of water in preventing chronic disease in human beings. Why
would profit making organisations tell you that you can prevent arthritis,
asthma, hypertension and other diseases by simply drinking water?

Early morning, after you get up from bed, (without even brushing
your teeth) drink 1.25 litters of water i.e. 5 to 6 glasses. You may wash your
face thereafter.
Here it is very essential to note that nothing else, neither drinks nor
solid food of any sort should be taken within 1 hr. before and after drinking
these 1.25 litters of water.
It is also to be strictly observed that no alcoholic drinks shall be taken
the previous night.
If required, boiled and filtered water may be used for this purpose. Is
it possible to drink 1.25 litters of water at one time? This is a BIG
QUESTION? To begin with, one may find it difficult to drink 1.25 litters of
water at one time, but one will get used to it gradually. Initially, while
practicing you may start by drinking half a litre of water and gradually
increase it by 100 ml every week till you reach the desired 1.25 litter of
water. You may find the necessity to urinate 2-3 times within an hour, but it
will become normal after some time.
During the day you may continue to drink water as required by the
body, which depends on the climate as well as work profile of each
individual. However drinking 150 ml per hour over and above the first 1.25
Litre can be considered as rule of thumb.
Some Naturopaths advise to use edible castor oil in the initial stage of water
therapy, to clean colon even better. Drink 20 ml of edible castor oil, around
4am in the morning at following frequency.
Every day in the first week.

evidences of it in many ancient cultures. Jin Shin Jyutsu was widely known
in antiquity -- before the time of Buddha, Moses.
Ancient Egypt, India, China and Japan all have historical evidence that
indicates that, what we now call Jin Shin Jyutsu, was known in those
cultures as well. This art was handed down by word of mouth for centuries.
As with any oral tradition, the true essence and accuracy of the art
eventually became altered, watered-down and called by different names.
This resulted in the emergence of many modified versions. There exists
however, one text where the art was written down in its entirety, though
cryptically. That was in a Japanese text written as a creation story
calledKojiki.
This healing technique is an art that can be learnt easily by anybody, as it is
simple and easy to practice. It does not involve any pressure or massage.
Gentle holding of specific points in specific patterns assists the release of
energy blockages in the meridians, simultaneously healing it.
Jin Shin Jyutsu physio-philosophy is an ancient art of harmonizing the life
energy in the body. Jin Shin Jyutsu brings balance to the body's energies,
which promotes optimal health and well-being, and facilitates our own
profound healing capacity. It is a valuable complement to conventional
healing methods, inducing relaxation and reducing the effects of stress.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is an ancient Asian healing art that releases the deep
tension and imbalance in the body. Once this is released, your body can heal
itself more easily and completely. This results in more vibrant health, better
rest, less pain, faster healing, and greater resistance to illness and
degeneration.
In the Far East, it has been known for centuries that ill health is rooted in
tension and imbalance. Stress and the resulting tension can rob us of our
optimum health. As we know, tension develops due to a variety of stress
factors. Some of these are physical injury, emotional strain, mental fatigue,
lack of sleep, environmental toxins and diet. Typically tension has been part
of our lives for so long that we may not even notice its presence, but we
frequently feel its effects. Left unreleased, tension causes imbalance in our
body's systems that can contribute to fatigue and discomfort. As the tension
and imbalance deepens in the body, it can become illness and degenerative
disease.
Jin Shin Jyutsu is similar to acupuncture but without the discomfort of
needles. The practitioner manually adjusts points on the body in specific
sequences. These points, called "safety energy locks" are locations on the
body where energy of "chi" tends to lock up and cause tension and
imbalance. By adjusting these key safety energy locks properly, an amazing
thing happens. Vitality and health start to be restored. And it works on all
levels - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Jin Shin Jyutsu strengthens the immune system, helping prevent illness.
Used pre and post operatively, healing occurs at a more rapid pace therefore it is a valuable adjunct to Modern medicine.
Fear, according to Jiromurai, is the cause of all disease. Apart from this
worry, sadness, anger and pretence are also responsible for causing disease
and are called attitudes. If these attitudes are corrected, healing takes place
and our whole body gets harmonized physically, mentally and spiritually.
Procedure:
A Jin Shin session begins with listening to the pulse, which reveals to the
practitioner information about the current flow of energy and state of being
of the client. It indicates where he or she needs help. Unlike modern
medicine, the emphasis is not on diagnosing, but on harmonizing. All
disease begins with blockages of energy, and the pulse shows the
practitioner the specific energy points that need to be held to restore the
harmonious flow, without creating additional stress in the client's mind
about the condition.
The remaining treatment consists of gently holding points in various
combinations until complete harmony of energy and pulsation is
established.
The main central:
third eye or center of eyebrows (L1). Keeping the right hand in place, move
the left hand to the tip of the nose (L2). Continue to follow the diagram
above down the front of the body until the left hand reaches the pubic bone
(L5). Move the right hand to the tip of the coccyx (R2). Hold the hand
positions while "listening" for the harmony in your pulse (you will note,
with practice, the slight pulsation at each point--hold the positions until you
sense rhythmic, synchronous pulsations in the right and left hands);
imagine energy flowing in the direction of your left hand's placement, down
the front and up the back of your spine.
The hands and the fingers are the keys to self help in Jin Shin Jyutsu.
The procedure is to wrap the hand over the finger of another hand. Each
finger should be held for a minimum of 3 minutes. However no harm
holding it longer. Holding the fingers every day, whenever your hands are
free to do so, is a good way to clean, harmonise and revitalise all our
144,000 energy functions. The good news is that the effects over time are
cumulative, so the more you hold your fingers, the more youll feel the
effects (youll feel calmer, think straighter, have more energy etc)

Oil Pulling
=======================================================

condition.
The Procedure:
Step1:
First thing in the morning on an empty stomach and before drinking any
liquids (including water), pour exactly one tablespoon of sesame oil (or
whatever oil you have chosen) into your mouth. It is advisable not to do this
process at any other time. Children can also do this with less quantity of oil
provided they have control and practice not to swallow the oil.
Step 2:
Swish the oil around in your mouth without swallowing it. Move it around in
your mouth and through your teeth, as if it was mouthwash (don't tilt your
head back to gargle though). You'll find that the oil will start to get watery as
your saliva mixes with it. Keep swishing. If your jaw muscles get sore while
swishing, you're putting too much into it. Relax your jaw muscles and use your
tongue to help move the liquid around the inside of your mouth. When you do
this correctly, you'll feel very comfortable. Pretty soon. In my experience, you
will get comfortable with the process in about a weeks time.
There is no right way or wrong way to swish and pull oil. Don't focus on doing
it right. Do it with very natural movement. Do this gently, not vigorously, in a
relaxed way for about 15-20 minutes. In the beginning you may start with the
lesser time and gradually keep increasing to about 20 minutes.
If you have the unbearable urge to swallow and if it becomes too unpleasant,
spit out and try again. It can be a bit unpleasant at first when youre not used to
it, but soon wont be bothersome at all, just like brushing your teeth.
When the oil has become saturated with the toxins it has pulled out, it may
become whitish and a thinner, milky consistency, depending on the type of oil
used. Each time you oil pull, it can take a different amount of time to get to that
point, so 20 minutes is a general rule of thumb, but you can experiment with
this.
If you spit out before 20 minutes. start again, the process is to make the oil
swish enough time in your mouth so that it becomes a white thick substance
which is a indication of process completion.
Step3:
As the end of the oil pulling session approaches, Spit the oil out, then rinse the
mouth with warm salt water. ( Just use normal table salt). Salt water rinsing
isnt absolutely necessary, but is very helpful as an antimicrobial and to soothe
any inflammation and proven to be effective in rinsing out any toxins which
may be left out in the mouth. When I began this process, I never used to rinse
with warm salt water. That started giving me the problem of sore throat. Since
then I make it a point to rinse and then gargle with warm salt water, and
relieved from the problem of sore throat.
The most effective oil pulling is done with a tablespoon of organic sesame oil.
Other oils such as coconut, sunflower and olive oil have been used, although
sesame oil is considered one of the best oils for this practice. I recommend
alternating oils every couple of days to get the full benefit. Putting high quality
organic oils into the mouth has a multi-effect outcome. I feel more comfortable
with organic coconut oil. However remember not to do Oil Pulling with
coconut hair oil, as it may have some inedible chemicals.
Firstly, the oils mix with the saliva, turning it into a thin, white liquid. Lipids in
the oils begin to pull out toxins from the saliva of the mouth. As you swish the
oil around the mouth, teeth, gums and tongue, the oil continues to absorb
toxins, and usually ends up turning thick and viscous and white. Once the oil
has reached this consistency, it is spit out before the toxins are reabsorbed into
the body.
studied and found to have an effect on the Streptococcus mutants in the mouth.
In fact, these studies showed an overall reduction of bacteria from 10 to 33.4%
in participants, and after 40 days of oil-pulling, participants were found to
show 20% in average reduction in oral bacteria. Moreover, half of all
participants in this case study showed a drastic reduction in susceptibility to
dental caries.
is still oily is waste of oil and a feeling of freshness does not come which is not
desirable. If you feel a few ml of more oil is required try, there is no harm. This
is also the reason for suggesting only five ml of oil for children.
Can we do any other work while doing oil pulling?
No. It is advised to do oil pulling slowly, chin up preferably in sitting position,
to see that oil pulled through teeth and touches all portions of mucous
membrane in the oral cavity.
Is there any difference in the practice of oil pulling for Acute and Chronic
diseases?
Acute diseases can be healed in two to four days by practicing oil pulling three
times a day on empty stomach, before breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chronic
diseases need more time may be up to one year or more depending on the
condition of disease, age, habits, state of general health of the person, etc.
What problems can arise during oil pulling?
(a) Oil does not become watery or thin even after 30 minutes and it appears the
oil is being absorbed and it reduces in quantity
(b) Nose block due to accumulation of mucus
(c) Sneezing and coughing
(d) Phlegm in the throat gets loose and comes into the mouth
(e) Urge to pass urine or stools.
Lets understand in detail.
(a) Oil does not become watery because there is inadequate salivation and
mouth is dry. In most cases, it happens in the morning and in some cases
evening also. Under normal circumstances oil will not get absorbed in the
mouth. Main reason is lack of adequate salivation due to lack fluids in body. In
all such cases you must drink two or three glasses of water, go for a walk of 30
to 45 minutes and do oil pulling after returning.
(b) To avoid nose block during oil pulling wash, clean and blow your nose
before starting oil pulling. Slowly blow out nose to clear while holding the oil in
the mouth. Repeat if necessary as you continue oil pulling.
(c) Sensation/irritation may cause sneezing or coughing while doing oil
pulling. Do oil pulling slowly in a relaxed state to avoid such irritation. Stop
pulling and relax as irritation or sensation to sneeze is felt. It will subside. You
can sneeze or cough while holding oil in mouth. If you have to sneeze or cough
through mouth do it in the sink or some such place to avoid oil driblets spray
all over or cover mouth with tissue paper.
(d) If phlegm comes into the mouth, making pulling inconvenient, spit and do
pulling with fresh oil again.
(e) Urge to urinate or pass stools will arise only if you have not gone through
natures calls before oil pulling. In all cases of urge to pass stools or urinate
during oil pulling, the best is to relax on the commode and do oil pulling.
How long will it take to cure a particular disease?
How long it takes to cure a particular disease is difficult to specify because it
depends on the age, state of health and disease, food and other habits etc of
each person. Dr Karach however saidthat chronic diseases may take a year
whereas acute diseases can be cured in 2 to 4 days. Practice until the original
strength, freshness, calm sleep, good appetite and good remembrance is back
again. Please use oil pulling as complementary method of healing. It is not a
substitute for medical treatment prescribed by competent medical
professional.
Are there any side effects of Oil Pulling?
Diseases get aggravated due to climate, food, water, air or mental state. Be
aware and conscious of such causes so that you do not mistake them to be side
effects. In some chronic cases there may be a reaction- an apparent
aggravation before cure and it is not a side effect. It is the stage when the body
is regaining the normal healthy state from a diseased condition-somewhat
similar to healing crisis in naturopathy or homeopathic aggravation.
Are there restrictions on the use of medicine or treatment during Oil Pulling?
There is no restriction on the use of medicine or treatment. During chronic
diseases and medication, Oil Pulling reduces the side effects of drugs. As you
improve, based on your own symptoms reduce medicines over a period and
stop completely. This will ensure that the disease is eliminated from the body
and the body repairs itself to a perfectly healthy and normal state.
Will it help chronic bad breath, what suggestions do you have?
Oil Pulling will definitely help with bad breath. You can start by doing OP twice
a day in the morning and evening for a week and then adjust the frequency
afterwards.
How to wash mouth after oil pulling? Shall I use Ayurvedic tooth powder
after oil pulling? Oil pulling before brushing or after brushing?
You can use any toothpaste / powder that you normally use for washing your
mouth after OP. Brushing your teeth before oil pulling is up to you but
definitely brush your teeth after oil pulling.
If a person is suffering from knee pain and shoulder joint pain for the past
three months, whether oil pulling would heal above ailments. Which oil
would be useful for Oil Pulling? sesame oil, coconut oil or sun flower oil?
Oil Pulling can bring relief to all types of pains including arthritis. I have no
hesitation in recommending it to you both to try Oil Pulling to start of at least
once a day in the morning. I am sure you will feel the effect within one to two
weeks. In addition I have seen magneto therapy for knee pain working well. If
you have a good homeopath, the small pills will also work well to reduce the
pain. My favorite is organic coconut oil.
When I pull, I get the need to swallow periodically, I try to fight it but I have
to, is that normal?
When oil is in the mouth for oil pulling, the phlegm sticking around the throat
gets loose and falls into the throat and you swallow. This must be happening to
you and you must be under the impression that it is the oil that you are
swallowing. I am sure it is not the oil. Please observe carefully. The phlegm in
the throat will be in very small quantities and you just automatically swallow
without any effort. Try to observe and see that you are not swallowing oil which
is in the mouth.
Does it help with whitening teeth, receding gums and gum sensitivity due to
crowns?
Oil Pulling will solve all the three problems of teeth, receding gums and gum
sensivity.
Can Oil Pulling actually help stop my sinus infections? Im pulling twice a
day (morning and before bed) and for 20 minutes each time using Sesame Oil.
Oil Pulling will help in healing any type of infection including sinus infections.
You should do Oil Pulling on empty stomach ie 4 hours after eating. So your
practice in the night before going to bed may not have a gap of 4hours after
dinner. Also Oil Pulling increases metabolic rate in the body so you may be
alert and awake after Oil Pulling. So I suggest you do Oil Pulling in the evening
before dinner. You can continue to do in the morning on waking up before
breakfast.
I have metal fillings in my teeth. Is it safe to do oil pulling?
If the metal filling is not properly done it will come off.

Cancer cases
"Most importantly, I want to write about three cases of cancer. In two cases,
biopsy report confirms schirrus type of carcinoma of uterus. In the third
case, it is malignant growthof a tumor of a size bigger than tennis ball on
the jawbone. This case is also of a woman on homeopathy medicines.
Within two months of oil pulling, in bothcases of carcinoma of uterus
bleeding reduced, general condition improved and they are confident that
their disease will go. You know confidence/faith contributes to cure more
than medicine.
In the case of malignant tumor after a month of oil pulling, pus came out of
a hole in the tumor on the jawbone. The pus stopped after three weeks, the
hole closed and the size of tumor came down to almost normal. In these
cases, my medicines must have given temporary relief. I am hoping they
will totally heal.
In case of joint pains the improvement that would have resulted in eight
months with my medicines, have come within two moths of oil pulling.
For allergy, asthma and tooth diseases, the results are wonderful. My
medicines must have given only temporary relief. I am hoping oil pulling
will heal them totally."

Diabetes
"At the advanced age of 74, it is unjust to expect miraculous result from any
kind of therapy. Yet I must say that what I have experienced through oil
pulling therapy is almost a miracle and quite unbelievable.
Diabetes has been troubling me for the past 13 years. Now my blood sugar
level is normal, though I do not take any medicine. I have discontinued all
medication including vitamins, enzymes etc."

Back pain and Arthritis
I have been suffering from arthritis in the knees for the last 10 years and
pain in the lower back for the last two decades. I have tried several
allopathic medicines and got a temporary relief. I started doing oil pulling
from Nov 17 1995 and observed miraculous changes happening. Within 5
days, my arthritis in the knees and lower back pain completely cured. It is
just unbelievable how arthritis of the knees cured, which the allopathic
medicines could not do.

Survey conducted by Andhra Jyoti Newspaper on oil pulling:
In 1996, two and half years after starting the publication of Oil Pulling in
Andhra Jyoti, a survey was advertised and conducted by the paper to find
out the types of diseases cured and its effectiveness. Practitioners were
requested to give their personal data along with duration of practice and
the types of diseases cured. 1041 people who practiced OP responded and
wrote letters of their experience. 927 (89%) people reported cure of one
disease or more. 114 (11%) people did not report any cure.
Analysis of 1041 testimonies indicates cure of the following types of
diseases: Common diseases like allergies, common cold and cough, dental caries,
gum diseases, infections in the mouth, ear, nose, throat, eyes, and pains
like headache, migraine, tooth pain, neck pain, back pain etc, allergic
sneezing, lip cracking, fevers, irritability etc cured. 758 cases cured. All felt
energetic, active and well.

days when medical professionals used to treat out of compassion. Today the whole
domain of treatment has commercial orientation. The treatment has become so
expensive, that it is beyond the reach of common man. Talk of health insurance
premiums that are being paid in the western world.
Ancient Indian method of healing said "medicine lies in the food one eats". This
statement from Rigveda an ancient scripture had profound impact on me, and I
have been studying various food articles available in our kitchen and the healing
Food is Medicine :
Not just a few, but all diseases can heal with the correct diet and absolutely no
medication. Your body is capable of handling and recovering from any ailment
provided you give it the appropriate terrain to heal. Supplements may at times be
beneficial, but your true medicine is food and always has been.
The next time your blood pressure shoots up, remember that your body is capable
of controlling it without a trip to the GP. Simple dietary changes can help prevent,
and more importantly reverse, ailments like osteoporosis, diabetes and even high
blood pressure without popping pills. The biggest hurdle most of us encounter is
that we fail to understand our body. If you put kerosene in a car that runs on
petrol, the car will break down, the human body functions better if it consumes
foods that are a better fit.
Our body is mostly alkaline. A pH (potential Hydrogen) level between 1 and 6.9 is
considered acidic, while one between 7.1 and 14 is marked alkaline. The human
bodys natural pH level stands at 7.45, making it alkaline. All fruits and vegetables,
natural juices like coconut water are alkaline, which make them a better nutrition
fit than say animal proteins, tea, coffee, sugar, alcohol, and packaged foods that
have high acidic levels. An imbalance in pH levels, can lead to a disruption in
cellular activity, causing health problems that range from heartburn to heart
disease.
Nutrients in foods do not work alone in isolation, instead they work together as a
powerhouse team in whats called synergy. Were often so focused on single
nutrients like vitamin c and calcium, that we dont consider that maybe its how
these nutrients work with one another that make them so great.
The Journal of Nutrition in 2004 conducted a study on rats that were fed tomatoes
and broccoli. Prostate tumors grew less in rats fed a combination of tomatoes and
broccoli versus rats who were fed tomatoes and broccoli on its own. They even
isolated and removed the cancer fighting substances found in tomatoes and
broccoli and fed them to the rats, but they were ineffective. The point Im trying to
make is, a lycopene (the potent nutrient in tomatoes) supplement might be useful,
but the whole tomato is better, and that tomato with a bit of fat is even better, but
that tomato with a bit of fat and some broccoli is so much better. Why exactly?
Scientists are still unsure but its all attributed to food synergy.
fruits and vegetables. It will balance the bodys insulin levels. Go for Omega-3 rich
walnuts, flaxseeds, spinach and strawberries. Avoid fried and greasy foods.
High blood pressure : Blood pressure is the force ex- erted against the walls of the
arteries as blood flows through them. If a person has high blood pressure, it
means that the walls of the arteries are receiving too much pressure repeatedly.
Consumption of unhealthy fats leads to a build up of cholesterol deposits along the
artery walls, thinning the passage for blood flow, and thereby adding to the
pressure.
Food solution: Adopt a two-pronged approach stay away from unhealthy fats
found in fried and packaged foods, and boost the intake of potassium, a mineral
that reduces the effect of sodium on blood pressure levels. Mushrooms, bananas,
dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, oranges and dates are high in
potassium.
Asthma : Asthma is an allergic response of the body to a substance, such as foreign
dust particles or foods that cause swelling or inflammation of the airways. High
levels of histamine, a chemical messenger that helps direct the bodys response to
a foreign invader, have been found to inflammate respiratory airways.
Food solution: Although no diet can guarantee the reversal of asthma, avoiding
foods that up histamine levels can help control it. These include: alcohol, vinegar,
ketchup, confectionary made with yeast, sour cream and fermented and processed
foods.
There is a good bit of talk about foods being alkaline these days. Many new diets or
detox plans, or nutrition websites enforce a topic known as alkalinity (and also
charge you handsomely for it). Alkalinity is the opposite of acidic.
The pH scale measures the difference between alkaline and acid based substances,
including food. For example, chocolate and coffee are acidic while leafy greens and
lemons are extremely alkaline. What does this matter?
An alkaline body is one of the best ways to achieve health. A healthy body is more
than just about your weight. When the body is alkaline based, optimum weight will
be achieved, effortlessly.
When you take into account how a food affects your whole body (skin, mood, hair,
cells healthy. Red foods like tomatoes and watermelons contain the powerful
antioxidant lycopene which acts as an internal sunscreen and protects you from
sunburn, prevents osteoporosis and heart diseases.
Greens such as peas, broccoli and spinach are packed with sulforaphane,
isothiocyanate, and indoles which stimulate the liver to keep cancer producing
chemicals in check.
Always choose real foods over processed foods. If the food didnt grow in a garden
or a farm, then its not a real food. This means choose the potato over the potato
chips. Eat an orange rather than drink orange juice. Eat fruit instead of fruit
snacks.
Diversify your food. Always aim for eating a variety of foods and colors. Whole
foods vary in color because they all possess their own unique set of nutrients.
Choose foods with bright colors and youll be sure to get a wide range of needed
nutrients for disease prevention, optimal performance, high energy, and clear
thinking.

Majority of modern diseases are due to Acidic food, which is consumed far in
excess what body can digest. For maintaining good health, the ratio of total food to
be 80% Alkaline food and 20% Acidic food.

According to ancient Indian scriptures, most pains are caused by the aggravation
of vata (gas) dosha. Arthritis is a condition which is caused by accumulation of
ama and aggravation of vata. (Ama is a toxic by-product of improper digestion.)
This ama circulates in the whole body and deposits or gets collected at the sites
which are weaker. When it deposits in the joints and at the same time there is
aggravation of vata, it results in a disease called amavata. This amavata is arthritis.
As described above ama and vata are the main causes, so efforts should be made to
digest ama and to reduce the vata. The digestion should be improved so that no
further ama is produced.Replacing acidic food with alkaline food will certainly
help. Efforts should be made to relieve the pain and inflammation. This is the line
of treatment according to ancient Indian scriptures.

Concentration Improvement :
These days parents have big worry about their kids having problems of
concentration as a result lower performance in studies. This paper is designed
from ancient Indian scriptures.
Concentration has been defined as "the ability to direct one's thinking in whatever
direction one would intend and reproduce at appropriate time.
We all have the ability to concentrate some of the time. But at other times our
thoughts are scattered, and our minds race from one thing to another. To deal with
such times, we need to learn and practice concentration skills and strategies. To
concentrate, we have to learn a skill, and as with any skill this means practice
repeated day after day until we achieve enough improvement to feel that we can
concentrate when we need to.
Our ability to concentrate depends on
commitment
enthusiasm for the task
skill at doing the task
our emotional and physical state
our psychological state
our environment

Constipation
Constipation is defined medically as fewer than three stools per week and severe
constipation
as
less
than
one
stool
per
week.
Constipation usually is caused by the slow movement of stool through the colon.
There are many causes of constipation including medications, poor bowel habits,
low fiber diets, abuse of laxatives, hormonal disorders, and diseases primarily of
other
parts
of
the
body
that
also
affect
the
colon.
The two disorders limited to the colon that cause constipation are colonic inertia
and
pelvic
floor
dysfunction.
High levels of estrogen and progesterone during pregnancy also can cause
constipation.
Medical evaluation for the cause of constipation should be done when constipation
is of sudden onset, severe, worsening, associated with other worrisome symptoms
such as loss of weight, or is not responding to simple, safe treatments.
Medical evaluation of constipation may include a history, physical examination,
blood tests, abdominal X-rays, barium enema, colonic transit studies,
defecography, anorectal motility studies, and colonic motility studies.
The goal of therapy for constipation is one bowel movement every two to three
days
without
straining.
Treatment of constipation may include dietary fiber, non-stimulant laxatives,
stimulant laxatives, enemas, suppositories, biofeedback training, and surgery.
Stimulant laxatives should be used as a last resort because of the possibility that
they may permanently damage the colon and worsen constipation.
Most herbal laxatives contain stimulant-type laxatives and should be used, if at all,
as
a
last
resort.

purpose is much better as compared to syrups that are available commercially.
6. Flax seeds (Alsi) are known for their fiber content, and can very well help you
when it comes to constipation. You can mix flax seeds in your cereal every
morning or just have a handful with warm water early in the morning.
7. Castor oil (Arandi ka tel) has been used for centuries as a sure shot remedy for

8. Spinach (Palak) have properties that cleanse, rebuild and renew the intestinal
tract. You can have about 100 ml of spinach juice mixed with an equal quantity of
water twice daily. This home remedy is the most effective method to cure even the
most
stubborn
cases
of
constipation.
9. Oranges are not only a great source of Vitamin C but also have a large amount of
fiber content. Eating two oranges every day, once in the morning and once in the
evening
can
provide
great
relief
from
constipation.
10. Seed mixtures with 2-3 sunflower seeds, a few flax seeds, til or sesame seeds
and almonds ground together to a fine powder can help relieve constipation. Have
one tablespoon of this mixture everyday, for a week. You can add it to your salad
or cereal every morning. This mixture not only provides the necessary fiber
content to relieve constipation but it also helps in rejuvenating the intestinal walls.

The upper or first number in a blood pressure reading is the systolic pressure and
the lower or second number is called the diastolic pressure. According to National
Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute guidelines:
Normal blood pressure is below 120/80 mmHg.
Pre hypertension is systolic pressure that's between 120 to 139 or diastolic
pressure between 80 and 89.
Stage 1 hypertension is systolic pressure between 140 to 159 or diastolic pressure
between 90 and 99.
Stage 2 hypertension is systolic pressure higher than 160 or diastolic pressure of
100 or higher.
Potassium intake. Low potassium can result in elevated sodium in cells, because
the two balance one another.
Stress. Stress can raise blood pressure.
Alcohol consumption. Excessive alcohol intake can, over time, increase the risk of
heart disease.
Age. The risk of high blood pressure increases as you get older.
Family history. High blood pressure often runs in families.
High blood pressure can also be caused by an underlying condition, such as kidney
disease, hormonal disorders, thyroid disease, adrenal gland disease, and the use
of certain drugs, such as oral contraceptives, or herbs such as licorice. This type of
high blood pressure is called secondary hypertension.
Items that help to reduce B P :
Bananas : Banana is a rich source of potassium which helps in controlling the
blood pressure level. At the same time it has low sodium level and free of
cholesterol which also help a lot. So, try to eat two bananas daily. Along with
banana, you can also try dried apricots, raisins, currants, orange juice, spinach,
zucchini, baked sweet potatoes, cantaloupe, and winter squash.
Garlic : Both raw and cooked garlic is said to have properties that can help to
control high blood pressure level and at the same time it can also reduce the
cholesterol level. When blood pressure level is high, one must try to eat two cloves
of garlic daily after slightly crushing it in a paste form. Crushed garlic cloves create
hydrogen sulfide, a compound that promotes good blood flow, removes gas and
reduces the pressure on the heart.
Methi (Fenugreek seeds) : The paste of fenugreek seeds is one of the most effective
ways to lower the high blood pressure level. To make paste out of fenugreek seeds,
take half poon of fenugreek seeds and soak them to quarter cup of water over night
and with the help of a blender make a paste. Take this paste twice a day, one in the
morning on an empty stomach and one in the evening. Follow this remedy for two
or three months to notice significant improvement in your blood pressure level.
Lemon : Regular consumption of lemon is also a good way to control hypertension.
Lemon helps in making the blood vessels soft and pliable and removes their
rigidity which in turn lowers the high blood pressure. In fact, when lemon is
consumed regulalry, there is less chance of heart failure due to its invaluable
Vitamin B content. Those having high blood pressure must drink fresh lemon
water several times a day. For better result, add a spoon og Ginger juice and a
spoon of Honey. Do not add salt or sugar to lemon water.
Method of doing Shavasana Yoga:
Lie down face up on the yoga mat in a warm room.
Place your feet about 20 inches apart and loosen (relax) the ankles and toes so that
they point outwards.
Place the hands palm up about 10 inches away from the body.
Ensure that your shoulder blades are pulled down and the small of your back is
relaxed into the floor.
Completely relax the body so that eventually youll forget its there.
Focus on your breath. Breathe deep and relaxed. Notice the subtle movements of
breathing.

Cancer :
Cancer isn't actually a disease, but in fact an age old survival mechanism of the body which
is activated via epigenetic changes in its micro-environment or terrain of the body.
When the pH of the blood begins to drop from its normal level of 7.4 to around 5.0 (from
the over consumption of processed, non-organic, acidic food, GMO food), the cells of the
body begin to alter their state by creating a cell wall that is 15 times as thick as normal so
they can live in a very acidic environment.
They are also forced to live without oxygen (Dr. Otto Walberg proved this in 1931), needing
no nutrients and are able to live off their own waste. When we reverse the need for cancer,
the body heals itself. Focusing on the terrain is most important.
Improving dietary habits and taking more oxygen is key to healing Cancer.
The dosage of each component depends upon the chronic state of Cancer.
However, an attempt is made to give an idea of how each item can heal cancer.
