Abstract:
Who said, Stars are not touchable! When you first take a look on Dr. Sinchan
Das, you may be unable to find anything intriguing about the guy. There is no
indications that this seemingly ordinary human being carries a mine of knowledge and
ocean of positive qualities within him. No distinct features that may give the hints about
a inspiring, revolutionary and great personality of now a days. He is the example, of how
to become extraordinary with your bold attitude and internal will power even after
several life threatening and insulting forces also. Dr. Sinchan Das is such a personality
dedicated his life for the purpose of discovery of unrevealed of truth in the world of
Health science & Music and for the betterment of the nature also. This is a real life story of
an Indian personality, who believed in the theory “if you want to do any constructive work, do it
now”- Dr. Sinchan Das. Dr. Sinchan Das, son of Mr. Harendra nath Das & Dr. Susmita
Das, is a 26 years old wondering personality of India, to whom all the country-men have
focused on moving further. He is unitedly a famous Indian Classical Vocalist, a
homeopathic doctor, a music therapist, a health scientist, teacher and a thundering
administrator. From the day of completing his Higher Secondary Examination, he set
his pinpoint destination that he has to do something which is not done by anyone.
According to Dr. Sinchan Das, “age is just a number and so-called

individual enjoyments are nothing but the wasting your valuable time. If
you have to change anything which are usual for many years you have to
change yourself at first, then your family and then others; because dealing
3
with common family quarrels, unhealthy atmosphere and family drama

these things create a strong backward force to pull you back and distracted
yourself from the noble path, because this path is too much dangerous.”
The purpose of this work is to discover unrevealed sides of Dr. Sinchan and to
inspire the people by providing his life story and to serve something unitedly with him
in making his dream society. He is of those very few personalities, who have dedicated
their life for the earth and struggled continuously against the usual destructing flow of
time.
Introduction:
Dr. Sinchan Das,(Bengali: সিঞ্চন দাি)[Sinchan= Sprinkling] in other words, "Sangeet
Ratna" (িঙ্গীত রত্ন) Dr. Sinchan Das, is a renowned Health Scientist, Motivator, Magnetic
teacher, Homoeopathic physician and an Indian Classical vocalist at the same time. He made
himself as an example of will- power, perfection, sacrifice, boldness and fearlessness. The most
amazing thing is that, Dr. Das is a person who is equally efficient in all of these above-mentioned
fields.
Dr. Sinchan belongs to the "Rampur Senia" Gharana of Indian Classical tradition, built by
the Mian Tansen. He is known for his unique ‘Taantrikari’ in the Khayal form of singing, as
well as for his popular renditions of devotional music (Bhajans and Thumri).
In the field of Indian Classical Music, Dr. Sinchan is one of those few persons of India, who
are working with the rare raagas. Along with these great qualities, he is a known Social worker
also. He is not belonging from any rich family, rather he is from a middle class Bengali family,
where economic support by the adult son is very much necessary. But, after observing these
painful conditions of the people and social degradation, he has dedicated his time and life for
the suffering world.
In this little age, he has faced several degrading and harmful incidents by the so called
powerful class of the society and after combating with several lucrative offers, he is still strictly
stands on his dream. Dr. Sinchan Das is the first person who has successfully and scientifically
demonstrated homoeopathic cases confidently without any vague non-sense theories.
In his childhood he was forced by his father to take taalim in Indian Classical Music and he
had felt intense interest and love with that. But he has observed that, ‘Khyal’ is confined to a
group of people only, rests are just excluded to take the magical flavor of traditional Indian
Classical Music surprisingly. He has started to perform Indian Classical Music in all of the local
programmes, college functions, open stages repeatedly and the mass welcomed him happily and
joyously. His a fan Mr. Raghuram Rajan shared a magical experience of his performance with
us, i.e. in an open stage in Agra, during his performance of Raag Sudh Malhar, Started to fall
rain; but the audience and the artists all are so much mesmerized and they had completed there
entire performance in that situation also.”
4
Not only in those programmes, he has applied Indian Classical Ragas for treatment
purpose also and those also resulted into magnificent results. His devoted heart towards
his works and perfectionist nature has made him an iconic figure in this extremely
young age. In the present dates, Dr. Das is working with various Biological & Medical
problems, prevailing in the society throughout the ages.
He is such an unnegotiable personality, who does not compromise with the quality of
the work, for that purpose he faced a lot of obstacles & obstruction in his career as a
punishment of the authorities. He has pointed out every fault & their probable solution,
wherever he joined & attached.

Dr. Sinchan Das, son of Mr. Harendra nath Das & Dr. Susmita Das, was born on
the 3rd day of December in the year 1990, under the supervision of Dr. Purnima
Chowdhury. He is a resident of the ‘Cultural Capital’ of India, Kolkata. Life of this
genius faced a lots of obstacles from the very first day of his life, because of the cursing &
threatening impulses of his maternal house, where they used to humiliate his parent in a
regular basis, just because of their economic superiority. But the tough character of Mr.
Harendra nath Das guarded Mrs. Das & the budding star from every obstacles. His
maternal uncle, maternal grandmother & maternal grandfather this trio tried to hamper
the equilibrium of Das family by any means. As during the period of research Mrs. Das
left Sinchan in his maternal uncle’s house, they used that chance & forced him to left
outside the house for a considerable time.
After birth up to 3 years of his life he lived in Bardhaman town with his parents
due to the research of his mother Dr. Susmita Das. As Dr. Susmita Das herself holds a
Ph.D in Botany and his father Mr. Harendra nath Das is a Statistician, they, it was
expected that a educational atmosphere prevailed there. After being completed the
research work of his mother, Sinchan was moved to Kolkata, and started his school life.
From then still now he lives in the former Capital of India. Firstly was living in a rented
house at Sikdar Bagan Street of Shyambazar area of North Kolkata, where in summer
the room has become an oven; because that room is in the top floor of that house. There
was three rooms in that floor of very dangerous condition, where during storm the
entire house got trembled. May be that extremely tough atmosphere is one of the
responsible factors to make this genius.
After that on the year of 2001, he moved to their own house at Garia of south
Kolkata. When they shifted to Garia, the house is half-done with necessary safety only.
The honest father of Sinchan, Mr. Harendra nath Das completed the house by compiling
one by one bricks with his honesty.

Location of the residence of Dr. Sinchan Das
His education was started in the ‘Blossoms’, a kindergarten school at Bardhaman. Then
he shifted to the Kolkata & took admission in St. Pauls Cathedral School of Amherst
street followed by Sailendra Sirkar Vidyalaya of Shyampukur street. From the Sailendra
Sirkar Vidyalaya his actual character building got started. His boldness of character was
developed from this institution with the hands of some ideal teachers.
In the year 2006, Dr. Sinchan Das has made ‘Kolkata’, champion in the All Bengal
Cultural Competition for the 1st time and glorified the name of his school Naktala High
School. He is the youngest candidate who have qualified in the trial to become swimmer
and become champion by beating all elder candidates surprisingly. In the development
8
of Dr. Sinchan Das as a ‘storm of purity’, Naktala High School plays a supreme role from
the 1st dates of his school life. After passing Madhyamik from the Naktala High School,
he took admission in the Boral High School. Both schools played important roles in the
development of the artistry of the budding artist of that time.
After passing Higher Secondary, he took admission in one of the heritage

institution of Kolkata, Pratap Chandra Memorial Homoeopathic Hospital & College.
Before taking admission in the B.H.M.S., he had studied B.Mus for few months. He has
become a stunning and attractive personality from the very 1st day of his college life.
From the very first day of his college life, he feels keen interest in the subjects Anatomy,
and devoted his maximum of the time in the exploration of the subject. In his college
life, he has to overcome many hurdles in the terms of politics, sabotage, in cooperation,
jealousy etc, which has damaged his mental health badly, but with the supports of his
teachers and guardians he has overcome those shortly. During several political &
egoistic reasons, he got supplementary in the Organon of medicine(Theory) in 2nd
B.H.M.S. examination, but secured 78% marks in the viva voce. But he hooked every
bouncers in his usual casual style & become one of the top scorers in the final year &
received gold medal in Post graduation from London. During the internship period at
Pratap Chandra Memorial Homoeopathic Hospital & College, he becomes the friend &
guardians of the patients of I.P.D.. He started to spent maximum of the time for the
purpose of betterment of the future of those patients. For the treatment of the sufferers,
there is no rest day for him, even he used to serve in his off-days whenever needed.
After passing B.H.M.S., due to his extreme hold over the subjects of health science
and revolutionary inventive mentality he was invited by several authorities around the
world to deliver lectures around the world in online & offline mode both and he has
made them his admirer and follower easily with the help of his heart melting speech,
wonderful presentation and magical teaching power. In this time he has done P.G.
(Hom) from London and received P.G.D.B.F.R., P.G.D.M.T. from U.S.A. accordingly.
From his childhood, his kind heart got worried for the needy people and animals. He
spent a lot of time with the indoor patients of his college during his student life and
internship; mixed with them as a family member and they had accepted him happily.
His one of the friends said, “One day in the year 2010, he received a pocket money of
Rs. 50/- for college, but near Kankurgachi area he observed a poor woman begging
for food; then he rushed to a nearer shop of snacks and bought food for her with his
entire money. After that, he found that he has only Rs. 08/- in his hand. He walked
from Kakurgachi to Ruby General then took bus with the fare of Rs. 06/-.” Not only
this, he used to buy foods & medicines for the indoor patients, who are neglected by
their family members.
One can give him the name, ‘Struggler”. He is struggler by birth as his aims are
absolutely different from the modern times. During the student life, he taught students
of different standards voluntarily; for the betterment of their future. After publishing his
research paper regarding ‘Drugs’, he faced a lot of threats & attacks, along with a huge
number of lucrative offers from different authorities to stop his researches; but he
9
refused all abruptly. Not only this, he faced many non-sense impulses during his
working life in Vivekananda Institute of Medical Science. A dangerous strangulating
environment prevailed in the institute, which is sufficient to deteriorate the productivity
of the students.
During his school days, he traveled to Mandirtala of Howrah from Garia to learn
Sarode under Pandit Kamal Mallick in early morning but he returned in afternoon in
every Sunday with his father. Then during his college days, he used to visit Pandit ji’s
house in Evening after college times. He returned in the last bus (T2) from the
Mandirtala. This time in his language is the golden time in his life because Pandit ji
established an image of idealism regarding the art & artist.
Once upon a time, he went to one of the large scale music institution in Golf club
road for better learning of Indian Classical Music, but they declared he has no sense of
music. At the early time of his career, he only witnessed of failure in different musical
competitions and they harassed him with their all effort. But audience at last welcomed
him with wide hands & he secured a permanent position in the sky of Indian Classical
Music.
At this point when everybody is running for comfort, extra incomes & stability, Dr.
Sinchan alone fighting against all miss-conceptions & faulty practices in various sectors
of the country. He is trying to make some health-care professionals to deliver primary
health care facilities & to conduct unique research works for betterment of the earth &
living beings.

Quotes:

 “It is very easy to declare anything as false or true, but it should be borne in our
mind that all changes or all deviations may not affect our daily well-being acutely
but potentially damages our internal health and that may manifest as a serious
problem in near future and may harm the health of our next generation
dangerously.”
 “Main enemy of this society is arrogance, superego domination, half- hearted

beliefs, faulty understandings, jealousy, miss conceptions and tendency to giving
wrong forceful opinions. These may results into aggression, hatred, depression
and loss of inter personal bonding.’ He has made a call to the society by his quote
“Think healthy, behave healthy, live healthy & make healthy.”
 “Each minute thing affect our mind crudely in its own way consciously or
subconsciously and that image has govern the body accordingly. To make a
healthy society, it is of prime importance that, we have to understand the
psychology of the society at first along with their individual preferences. Because
preferences, like preference of colour, preference of music, styles, choices, mode
of talking, mode of sitting, mode of standing etc. all are important for the
judgement of one’s mental way, tendencies and from these parameters, we can
easily figured out about the future sufferings and prevent those sufferings
successfully. It is not important that how will you treat patients with or without
drugs but it is important that whether you can treat them wholly or not. To live
without medicine free from all diseases is much more important than to live with
medicines and to achieve these goals we have to reconstruct our lives in a true
and healthy manner. He said, we are fighting by considering Homoeopathy,
22
Allopathy, Ayurveda these systems, but every system has its own scope and
limitations.”
 “Each element of the nature is of equal importance, if you have damaged any one,
then all should pay for that damage.

Sinchan stepped into the world of music at the age of 5 years. Under the loving tutelage
of Koushik Bhattacharjee for a span of 9 years, his fondness for music developed
gradually and he made it a major part of his everyday life. Sri Koushik Bhattacharjee is
27
the son and disciple of late Pandit Pataki Bhattacharya. Later he took his advance
training in ITC Sangeet Research Academy, Kolkata. Under valuable guidance of Pandit
Arun Bhaduri, Pandit K. G. Ginde, and Pandit Sunil Bose.
Then Sinchan came under highly inspirable contact of Pandit Samaresh Chawdhury of
‘Rampur Senia’ Gharana and got him as his guru in getting intensive talim in Indian
Classical Music. Pandit Samaresh Chawdhury, son and disciple of the illustrious
Sangeetacharya late Amaresh Chawdhury, later sharpened his rare skills under the able
guidance of the great maestro Bharat Ratna Ravi Shankar.

Apart from his keen interest in classical vocal music, Sinchan likes to play the classical
instrument Sarod. He is fortunate enough in having Pandit Kamal Mallick as his guru in
this respect. Pandit Kamal Mallick , the disciple of Pandit Shyam Ganguly, took his
advance talim from the great maestro late Ustad Ali Akbar Khan saheb. Pandit Kamal
Mallick is known as the ‘Saint’ of Music, who is an idol in all respect. He was a member

Legacy:
A classicist by training, and temperament, Dr. Sinchan Das is renowned for having
evolved an approach that sought to achieve a balance between what may be termed as
"traditional values and mass-culture tastes" and as such he goes on to have supposedly
the largest commercially recorded repertoire in Hindustani vocal music. Das's iconic
status in the music world has earned him a whole generation of "Tantrikaari" who by
merely listening to him have picked up his style and not through any formal tutelage.
His greatest endeavour in perpetuating his legacy could be that, he is a successful person
to reach to the mob, to the huge population of India, who are the middle class and lower
middle class people, to pin the colour of Indian Classical among them, by promoting
some certain music culture.

JOURNAL- CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL HOMOEOPATHY

DIABETES MELLITUS AND ITS HOMOEOPATHIC
TREATMENT
DR.SINCHAN DAS
In this modern civilization, the society receives a good number of experiences along with
many new diseases and defects, which can harm the entire society dangerously. Among
these, one of the common diseases is Diabetes mellitus.
But it should be clear in our mind that, it is not merely a pathological condition localized
to the material body only, rather it is the resultant of the extremely unscientific lifestyle
of this time i.e. stress and mental anxiety, lack of physical exercise, irregular diet,
consumption of extreme level of artificially harbored food products, irregular food habit,
variety of addictions and lack of sound sleep. On the basis of our Homoeopathic concept
of disease we know that, disease is not only a physical entity rather it is the dynamic
deviation from the health, predisposed by “ the ascertainable physical constitution
of the patient, his moral and intellectual character, his occupation, mode of living and
habits, his social and domestic relations, his age, sexual functions, and etc”
(ORGANON OF MEDICINE, 6th edition by Dr.C.F.S.Hahnemann) even our mode of
thinking also plays an important role in the formation of the disease.
Now, let us come to the matter of our discussion, ‘Diabetes mellitus
and its Homoeopathic treatment’. We know that Diabetes mellitus comprises a
heterogeneous group of metabolic diseases that are characterized by chronic
hyperglycemia and disturbances in carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism and
glycosuria, resulting from the defects in the insulin production, insulin secretion and or
insulin action(ANDREOLI AND CARPENTER’S CECIL ESSENTIALS OF MEDICINE,
8th edition, AUGUSTINE P., MANCIENT G.,DARTIGUES J.F. THE PAQUID SURVEY
REPORT), but these conditions result from a number contributing factors which can
irritate a person as a whole.
Let us take a short view on the history of the name diabetes. Diabetes has been known
since the first century B.C.E., when a Greek physician, Aretus the Cappadocian, named
it diabainein, meaning "a siphon," referring to the excessive urination associated with
the disease. The word diabetes was first recorded in 1425, and in 1675, the Greek
mellitus, “like honey,” was added, to reflect the sweet smell and taste of the patient’s
urine. An unrelated and rare disorder, diabetes insipidus, is usually caused by a
hormone deficiency.
56
Type:
If we go through the subtypes of Diabetes mellitus, we find that it is subdivided into
1. Type1, i.e. Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus(IDDM) and
2. Type2, i.e. Non insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM), among which Non
Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus is very common in recent days.
Diabetes Mellitus
Insulin Dependent Insulin on-

Diabetes Mellitus or Dependent Diabetes
Type- 1 Mellitus or Type-2
Now, if we search for the pathogenesis (How the disease initiates) of the
NIDDM, we will be acquainted with another terminology, i.e. Insulin Resistance.
Except this Insulin Resistance there are much more aetiological factors for NIDDM, but
it is the main cause, for which insulin does not perform its role, although the
concentration of insulin in the blood stream is sufficient or more than sufficient
(Hyperinsulinaemia). Now, if we investigate the cause of this insulin resistance, then we
found another terminology, i.e. glucose transporters.
Glucose transporters are a wide group of membrane proteins that facilitate the transport
of glucose over a plasma membrane. Because glucose is a vital source of energy for all
life, these transporters are present in all phyla. The GLUT or SLC2A family are a protein
family that is found in most mammalian cells. 14 GLUTS are encoded by human
genome. GLUT is a type of uniporter transporter protein. There are two families of
glucose transporters.
 The Na+-glucose cotransporter or symporter is expressed by

specialized epithelial (brush border) cells of the small intestine and the proximal
tubule of the kidney and mediates an active, Na+-linked transport process
57
against an electrochemical gradient. It actively transports glucose from the lumen

of the intestine or the nephron against its concentration gradient by coupling
glucose uptake with that of Na+, which is being transported down its
concentration gradient. The Na+ gradient is maintained by the active transport of
Na+ across the basolateral (antiluminal) surface of the brush border cells by
membrane-bound Na+-K+- ATPase. There are 12 members in the SGLT family,
named SGLT1, SGLT2, SGLT3, SGLT4, SGLT5, SGLT6, SGLT7, SGLT8, SGLT9,
SGLT10, SGLT11, SGLT12.
 Facilitative glucose transporters (GLUTs): The second class of
glucose carriers is the facilitative glucose transporters (GLUTs) of which there are
14 genes in the human genome. These proteins mediate a bidirectional and
energy-independent process of glucose transport in most tissues and cells where
glucose is transported down its concentration gradient by facilitative diffusion.

When these glucose transporters failed to work properly, the glucose

uptake from the blood stream does not take place adequately. The working capacity of
these glucose transporters is largely dependent on the Sulphur molecule (BERNERD
THORENS, INSTITUTE OF PHARMACOLOGY, UNIVERSITY OF LAUSSANE,
SWITZERLAND, BIOCHEMICAL RESEARCH CENTRE, NINEWELLS HOSPITAL
AND MEDICAL SCHOOL, SCOTLAND).
58
Homoeopathic Approach:
Now let us switch to the Homoeopathic approach for the treatment of
Diabetes mellitus. Homoeopathy is a mode of treatment that does not consider only
physical deviation from health, rather it considers a person as a whole i.e. present
complains, history of present complains, past history, relevant family history, physical
generalities and mental generalities of the person. Some people say that Homoeopathy
does not consider any disease manifestation, but if we say correctly, then that sounds
like, Yes, Homoeopathy gives the value to uncommon peculiar characteristic symptoms
of the person apart from the common symptoms of the disease. But if we have sufficient
knowledge about the disease phenomenon, then we should find that, uncommon
peculiar characteristic symptoms are nothing but the symptoms of the disease on
different stages, depending on the susceptibility of the patient. So, the uncommon
peculiar characteristic symptoms help us to understand the progression of disease along
with selection of the correct Homoeopathic remedy. Now if we go through the
CLINICAL REPERTORY by Dr. Robin Murphy we find that there are more than sixty
medicines under the rubric Diabetes mellitus. But on the basis of our disease knowledge
we can easily categorize them according to the aetiopathogenesis and progression of the
disease. Here I will discuss about one of the frequently used deep acting medicine
without which our Homoeopathic treasury will not be fulfilled, i.e. SULPHUR, which
has many important roles in the body also.
Sulphur is known as a healing mineral. Sulphur deficiency leads to initiation of
inflammation, pain, obesity, Diabetes mellitus, Hypertension and Alzheimer’s disease
associated with various muscular and skeletal disorders like Arthritis etc. Sulphur plays
an important role in many biological processes, one of which is Metabolism. It is present
in Insulin, the essential hormone which promotes utilization of Sugar and Lipid and in
some essential amino acids also. Again, above mentioned diseases or conditions closely
related with each other, e.g. obesity is the principal cause of NIDDM and Hypertension;
Hypertension is an associated feature of the NIDDM etc. Sulphur is also responsible for
maintaining cellular integrity, cellular activity and cellular response.
Sulphur & Glucose Metabolism:

Now we will discuss about the Sulphur and Glucose metabolism. Skeletal muscle
cells and fat cells breakdown glucose, in the presence of oxygen in their mitochondria
and in this process they produce Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). A glucose transporter
called GLUT4, which migrates to the cell membrane depending upon stimulation by
insulin. GLUT4 essentially acts as a key that unlocks the door of the cell, letting glucose
move into the cell. So, it helps in glucose uptake by the help of Insulin. Both glucose and
oxygen, unless they are carefully managed, can cause harm to the cellular protein and
fat. To give protection against this glycation damage, Sulphur forms a compound with
the help of sunlight, called Cholesterol sulphate, which supplies energy and negative
charge to the cells. By this phenomenon, glucose enters the cell within special
59
Cholesterol rich sites in the cell wall, called Lipid rafts. But sulphur deficiency leads to
accumulation of extra cholesterol on the visceras (Visceral obesity, results from Central
obesity)and other body parts and this extra cholesterol allows the vulnerable
lipoproteins in the cell wall which causes reduction of the glucose uptake, which leads to
increased amount of glucose in the blood.
When the cells are exposed to insulin, its mitochondria are triggered to start pumping
both the Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and Hydrogen ions (H+) into the cytoplasm. If
cholesterol sulphate enters the cell alongside the glucose then that will protect the cell
from the glycation damage. Cholesterol sulphate is the catalyst that seeds the lipid raft.
Iron sulphate is then formed by bonding the iron in the ‘Haem’ unit in myoglobin to a
sulphated ion provided by the cholesterol sulphate. The cholesterol is left behind the cell
wall. They enrich the newly formed lipid raft with cholesterol. The Hydrogen peroxide,
provided by mitochondria upon insulin stimulation, catalyzes the dissolution of glucose
by the iron sulphate. The pumped hydrogen can pair up with the reduced sulphur
[S(-2)] to form Hydrogen sulphide (H2S), a gas that can easily diffuse back across the
membrane for a repeat cycle. The oxygen, released from the sulphate radical, is picked
up by the myoglobins, sequestrated inside the molecule for safe travel to the
mitochondria. Glucose breakdown product and oxygen are then delivered to the
mitochondria to complete the process, which ends with water, CO2 and ATP, all while
keeping the cell’s cytoplasmic proteins safe from the Glycation damage.
Now if Sulphur deficiency occurs then the following effects take place. Deficiency of
Sulphur Cholesterol sulphate formation decreased Iron sulphate formation
decreased Glycation damage Loss of activities of glucose transporter
Cellular resistance. Due to this reason, we find some manifestations outwardly as
Dryness of skin, unhealthy skin, wasting of muscles, assimilative disorders, allergic
rhinitis, excessive mucous secretion in the respiratory tree, mental and physical
irritability, aversion to exercise, heaviness and lameness of the back and limbs, irritable
bowel habit, burning in different parts of the body, intolerance to heat, defect in the
gastric bareer mechanism, Hyperchlorhydria, Myocardial infarction, functional cardiac
disorders etc. (WAITE J.H.BEETHAM W.P., THE COMPREHENSIVE .STUDIES OF

Now for a successful Homoeopathic prescription, we have to match the symptoms given
by the patients and symptoms observed by the physician with the symptoms found in
our HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA, i.e. the symptoms of the remedy. The
symptoms of the Materia Medica found by thorough Drug proving on a group of
apparently healthy people of different age, sex, area, occupation etc.
60
Case Study:
Now I will discuss one of the cases of NIDDM found in our OPD, treated successfully
with potentised Sulphur.
Age-45 years, Sex- Female, Occupation – Home maker
Presenting complains- 1) Itching eruptions on the whole body, especially on the back,
Burns like fire, worse by scratching, application of water and spring time and
ameliorated by dry heat. 2) Irritable bowel habit with dry, hard, insufficient stool with
ineffectual desire.
Past History- 1. Eczema on both legs before 4 years , treated locally by the application of
local ointment.
2. Jaundice before 6 years.
Family History-Both father and mother suffered from NIDDM and died in Cardio-
respiratory failure and CVA
respectively.
Physical General-
Appetite- Less
Thirst – Profuse, due to great dryness of the mucous membrane.
Desire- Meat, Fish, Sweet, Lukewarm food
Aversion- Milk
General Tendency- Easily catches cold from rain wetting and change of weather.
Thermal reaction- Hot patient
Tongue- Whitish with red crack at the tip.
Sleep- Catnap sleep, must wake at 4.30 am, Talks during sleep.
Mind- Very forgetful, Thinking very difficult, Aversion to exercise, Irritable, Selfish,
Lazy, Depressed.
Probable diagnosis- Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Suggested investigations- 1) Blood for FBS and PPBS, HbA1C
Laboratory findings- 235mg/dl (F), 578mg/dl(PP), HbA1C- 7%
Confirmed Diagnosis- NIDDM
Selection of Medicine- SULPHUR200/1 Dose in sac lac.
After one month of this Homoeopathic prescription along with the proper management,
the patient is asked to visit the OPD with the recent reports of those previous
investigations and now the report is as follows- FBS- 125 mg/dl, PPBS- 194 mg/dl& the
HbA1C- 5% and the complain of the patient is gone entirely. Now we repeat the same
medicine in a higher potency, i.e. SULPHUR 1000/1dose and directed the patient to
obey the directions and asked her to come after 2 months with the current reports of the
said investigations done again. After the due time the report becomes FBS- 90mg/dl,
PPBS- 148mg/dl, HbA1C- 4.5% and she has no complain. Now for the confirmation of
her cure, we asked the patient to come after 2 months with the current pathological
reports of the said investigations done again and now the reports are as follows : FBS-
61
90mg/dl, PPBS- 145mg/dl, HbA1C-4.5% and the patient is free from any trouble. So, by
the dynamic similimum the NIDDM can be treated successfully.
Apart from the above mentioned case there are cases in which remarkable successes
have been obtained by the administration of dynamic Homoeopathic medicines. There
are many more medicines used successfully for the treatment of NIDDM, but in
different stages, e.g. NATRUM MURIATICUM (When glucose uptake causes reverse
loss of Sodium ion or when problems occur in SGLT family), LYCOPODIUM (When
proteinuria starts as a result of Diabetic nephropathy), PHOSPHORUS (DKA)etc. So,
from the above discussion we can easily say that Sulphur and Sulphur containing
material plays an important role in NIDDM. We have to suggest the investigations for
the confirmation of the disease not for the provisional diagnosis in a whimsical manner,
because careful observation may guide truly to understand the progression of the
disease as well as identifying a suitable remedy.
Discussion:
Now if we go through the pathogenesis of the Symptoms of the medicine Sulphur
laid in the Homoeopathic materia medica, found during the process of Drug proving,
then we will find some new information, e.g. 1) Sulphur patients are tall, slender with
stooping shoulder, generally suffering from lack of nutrition in spite of taking nutritious
food. This is because lack of Sulphur in the body, the cells cannot assimilate food, and
cannot produce energy in sufficient amount. Due to this same reason Sulphur patients
are aversed to do any exercise. 2) Sulphur patients have aggravation from water, even
they do not want to bath. Because, due to fragile condition of the skin (Due to lack of
sulphur), water causes irritation and excessive chilliness, in spite of burning in the body.
Other says that due to lack of courage of work, they avoid even their daily works, that is
why they remain dirty. 3) Excessive hunger, Hyperacidity., Burning eructation etc are
again due to the deficiency of Sulphur, which increase gastric motility rate and make a
suitable atmosphere for the residence of H.pylori, etc.
Although, for the treatment of diseases, we have to prescribe medicines, but we know
that “PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE”. It is the fact that if we live a
disciplined life, perform sufficient amount of physical exercises, avoid harmful
addictions, take healthy food, manage our mental stress, avoid anxiety then we can live
free from many dangerous diseases, which make our surroundings healthy.

JOURNAL- THE HOMOEOPATHIC HERITAGE
ARSENIC INDUCED DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY AND

ITS HOMOEOPATHIC TREATMENT
DR. SINCHAN DAS
INTRODUCTION:
The modern civilization and busy lifestyle is responsible for the
occurrence of many pathological conditions, among which some are potentially life
threatening also. Our discussion is about a pathological condition of cardio-vascular
system named ‘Dilated cardiomyopathy’. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a progressive
cardio-vascular disorder characterized by enlargement and impairment of the systolic
function of the left ventricle or both the left and right ventricles. Although abnormal
loading conditions such as hypertension or valvular disease must be excluded for the
purpose of diagnosis of the dilated cardiomyopathy. There are several factors
responsible for the development of cardiomyopathy, but among those, our topic of
discussion is ‘Arsenic induced dilated cardiomyopathy’. Disease is not an
individual entity centered only within the physical domain of a person or resulting from
an exciting factor solely. It should be clear in our mind that without the role of
fundamental cause, exciting cause is incapable of doing any change within an organism.
64
CLASSIFICATION OF DCM:
Dilated cardiomyopathy
Familial or Genetic Non-Familial or Acquired
CLASSIFICATION OF DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY
 Familial or Genetic DCM:

There are mutations of more than 30 genes have been found to cause dilated
cardiomyopathy. These genes provide instructions for making the proteins found in
cardiomyocytes. Many of these proteins play important roles in the contraction of
cardiac muscle through their association with sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are the basic
units of muscle contractions, made of proteins that generate the mechanical force
needed for muscles to contract. Many other proteins associated with familial dilated
cardiomyopathy make up the cytoskeleton of cardiomyocytes. Other proteins play
various roles within cardiomyocytes to ensure their proper functioning.
Mutations in one gene, TTN, account for approximately 20 % of cases
of familial dilated cardiomyopathy. The TTN gene provides instructions for making a
protein called titin, which is found in the sarcomeres of many types of muscle cells,
including cardiomyocytes. Titin provides structure, flexibility, and stability to
sarcomeres. Titin also plays a role in chemical signaling and in assembling new
sarcomeres. The TTN gene mutations that cause familial dilated cardiomyopathy result
in the production of an abnormally short titin protein. It impairs sarcomere function
and disrupts chemical signaling by unknown mechanism.
It is unclear how mutations in the other genes cause familial dilated
cardiomyopathy. It is likely that the changes impair cardiomyocyte function and reduce
the ability of these cells to contract, weakening and thinning cardiac muscle.
People with familial dilated cardiomyopathy often do not have an identified mutation in
any of the known associated genes. The cause of the condition in these individuals is
unknown.
Familial dilated cardiomyopathy is described as non-syndromic or isolated because it
typically affects only the heart.
65
GENOMIC SEQUENCE IN THE TTN GENE
*****NOTE****
TTN GENE:
This gene encodes a large abundant protein of striated muscle. The product of this gene is divided into two regions, a N-terminal
I-band and a C-terminal A-band. The I-band, which is the elastic part of the molecule, contains two regions of tandem
immunoglobulin domains on either side of a PEVK region that is rich in proline, glutamate, valine and lysine. The A-band, which
is thought to act as a protein-ruler, contains a mixture of immunoglobulin and fibronectin repeats, and possesses kinase activity.
An N-terminal Z-disc region and a C-terminal M-line region bind to the Z-line and M-line of the sarcomere, respectively, so that
a single titin molecule spans half the length of a sarcomere. Titin also contains binding sites for muscle-associated proteins so it
serves as an adhesion template for the assembly of contractile machinery in muscle cells. It has also been identified as a
structural protein for chromosomes. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. Considerable
variability exists in the I-band, the M-line and the Z-disc regions of titin. Variability in the I-band region contributes to the
differences in elasticity of different titin isoforms and, therefore, to the differences in elasticity of different muscle types.
Mutations in this gene are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 9, and autoantibodies to titin are produced in
patients with the autoimmune disease scleroderma.
 Non-familial or Acquired DCM:

There are multiple causations identified for the development of
acquired or non-familial DCM, which are as follows:
 Viral myocarditis
 Nonviral infective myocarditis
 Idiopathic myocarditis
 Autoimmune myocarditis
 Alcohol intoxication (Alcoholic cardiomyopathy)
 Drugs- Chemotherapeutic agents- Doxorubicin
Cobalt
CNS stimulating- Methylphenidate
Illegal drugs- Cocaine
 Pregnancy (Peripartum cardiomyopathy)
66
 Metal- Arsenic (As)

Mercury (Hg)
Lead (Pb)
Lithium (Li)
 Toxins- Catecholamine
Hydrocarbons
Cyclophosphamide
Carbon monoxide (CO)
 Nutritional- Thiamine deficiency
Vitamin-C deficiency
Selenium deficiency
 Endocrinological & Metabolic - Diabetes mellitus
Hypothyroidism
Hyperthyroidism
Hypokalemia
Hyperkaliemia
Pheochromocytoma
Acromegaly
 Autoimmune- Rheumatoid arthritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)
Dermatomyositis
 Tachycardia induced
 Neuro-muscular diseases- Friedreich ataxia
Muscular dystrophy
Congenital atrophies
 Storage disorders & other depositions- Hunter-Hurler syndrome
Glycogen storage disorder
Fabry disease
Amyloidosis
 Infiltrative: Leukaemia
Carcinomatosis
Sarcoidosis
Radiation- induced fibrosis
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY:
Dilated cardiomyopathy, generally accompanied by a strong genetic trend
but it can also result from various acquired myocardial insults or interactions of gene
67
and environment that ultimately may yield a similar clinicopathologic pattern. These
include:
 Myocarditis: an inflammatory disorder that precedes the
development of cardiomyopathy in some cases, and is
sometimes caused by viral infections.
 Toxicities: including adverse effects of chemotherapeutic
agents, chronic alcoholism, exposure to environmental toxins,
like arsenic, mercury, lead etc.
 Childbirth
 Genetic trend:
In nearly 50% cases, dilated cardiomyopathy is familial and caused by
inherited genetic abnormalities. In the genetic forms of DCM, autosomal dominant
inheritance is the predominant pattern. X-linked, autosomal-recessive and
mitochondrial inheritance are considerably less common. There are about 40 different
genes responsible for the development of genetic DCM. These genes encode for a wide
variety of proteins of the
 Sarcomere
 Cytoskeleton
 Nuclear envelope
 Sarcolemma
 Ion channels and
 Inter-cellular junctions.
 Sarcomeric genes:
Sarcomere is the basic contractile unit of both the skeletal muscles
and cardiac muscles. Sarcomeric mutations are an important cause of dilated
cardiomyopathy; they may lead to overlapping phenotypes. In dilated
cardiomyopathy, sarcomeric mutations are hypothesized to reduce sarcomeric
contractile function, with systolic dysfunction detected even in subclinical forms.
Mutations of the following genes result in alterations of the correct coupling-
uncoupling of actin to or from myosin.
PROTEINS GENES
Myosin proteins  MYH6
 MYH7
 MYBPC3
Actin proteins  ACTC1
 ACTC2
Tropomyosin  TPM1
proteins
68
According to the recent research works, the sarcomeric gene mostly involved in DCM is
titin, as protein truncating mutations.
 Nuclear proteins:
The nuclear proteins lamin A and C are intermediate filaments
which form the lamina of the nuclear envelope. They are two isoforms encoded by the
same LMNA gene mapping on chromosome 1. These proteins have
structural/mechanical functions in the nucleus and regulate the replication and
transcription of DNA.
LMNA mutations are associated with a variety of phenotypes including DCM with
arrhythmias and conduction disease, Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy, Emery-Dreifuss
Muscular Dystrophy and autosomal dominant partial lipodystrophy. Clinically, the
patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, carrying a LMNA mutation show an early onset of
disease, suffering from cardiac conduction disturbances, skeletal muscle involvement
with high creatinine kinase levels and are at a high risk for life threatening or malignant
ventricular arrhythmias and sudden death. Other proteins of the nuclear envelope
interacting with LMNA may cause a DCM phenotype. Thymopoietin is a protein that
interacts with Lamin A/C encoded by TMPO (LAP2) gene on chromosome 12: a
mutation in LAP2 has been associated with DCM.
 Ion channel proteins:

Among ion channel proteins, two principal mutations are
observed to cause DCM in a good number of cases, which are - 1] Sodium
Channel- SCN5A
& 2] Phospholamban- PLN.
SCN5A are associated with a arrhythmogenic phenotype, characterized by
early onset of disease.
PLN mutation is generally lead to dilated cardiomyopathy through
inhibition of calcium pump (SERCA2a).
 Cytoskeletal proteins:
Desmin (DES) mutations can cause a spectrum of
phenotypes, including skeletal myopathy, mixed skeletal-cardiac disease (Desmin
related myopathy), dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and
restrictive cardiomyopathy. Dilated cardiomyopathy is preceded by skeletal
myopathy and can be associated with conduction defects.
Cypher/ZASP LDB3 mutations are responsible for pure
dilated cardiomyopathy or DCM with left ventricular non-compaction with or
without skeletal involvement.
Mutations of the gene encoding dystrophin (DMD) cause
Duchenne muscular dystrophy and X-linked DCM where the muscular
involvement is absent or subclinical. The DMD genes mapped on chromosome X,
therefore the pattern of inheritance is X-linked. Dystrophin, in conjunction with
the dystrophin glycoprotein complex, functions as a link between the
cytoskeleton and extracellular matrix and, therefore, its mutations result in
69
altered force transmission and progressive cell death. DCM, with

supraventricular arrhythmias, atrio-ventricular blocks and right bundle branch
block, characterizes X-linked DCM and occurs as a late complication in Duchenne
muscular dystrophy, whereas it is less frequent in Becker muscular dystrophy.
 Other genes & proteins:

There are several other genes and mechanisms, which can lead
to the DCM phenotype. Among the most recent discoveries on genetic basis of
DCM is the BAG3 gene, encoding for BCL2- associated athanogene 3, a co-
chaperone protein with anti-apoptotic function, which localizes at Z-disc in the
striated muscles. It results into DCM by interfering with Z-disc assembly and
inducing apoptotic cell death under the metabolic stress. Furthermore,
extracellular matrix proteins such as Lamin alpha-4 (LAMA4) and Fukutin
(FKT) has been described and related to DCM: they may lead to the DCM
phenotype by disrupting signaling pathways and modifying cell-surface
molecules respectively.
 Myocarditis:
Clinical studies using sequential endomyocardial biopsies have
demonstrated progression from myocarditis to dilated cardiomyopathy; in other
studies, viral nucleic acids from coxsackievirus B and other enteroviruses have
been detected in the myocardium of patients with DCM.
70
 Toxicity:
Under the subheading named causation I have already pointed out the
toxic substances which can lead to DCM. However, here I am going to arsenic
toxicity and DCM, because of the relevance of the case. Before further discussion
let first take a snap about the cause, responsible for the varying degree of
susceptibility to the arsenic toxicity.
Genetic basis of varying degree of susceptibility to the

Arsenic toxicity:
The gene CYT19 is responsible for varied reactions to arsenic in
the peoples exposed to arsenic. There are, three polymorphic sites in the CYT19 gene
were significantly associated with methylation pathways for arsenic excretion. Although
the finding of a genetically and developmentally restricted association with arsenic
metabolism was unexpected, the presence of a developmentally restricted component in
the metabolism of arsenic has been reported. Children with a mutation of the gene
variety CYT19 react to arsenic in a different manner than the adults, namely by
enhanced occurrence of the dimethylated species (DMA).
Arsenic in the cardio-vascular continuum:

Arsenic has been associated in a dose-dependent manner with
high blood pressure even at low levels of exposure and with renal dysfunction and
proteinuria. The pathophysiological mechanism could be a direct toxic effect on
71
beta cells, interaction with cellular signaling, or enzyme inhibition in beta cells or
in peripheral tissues. Consistent with the association with risk factors and cardio-
vascular disease, an association has also been found between arsenic exposure
and atherosclerosis.
Endothelial dysfunction: the link between arsenic and

cardio-vascular disease: Oxidative stress is an established and widely
studied mechanism of arsenic toxicity. ROS are formed both in vivo and in vitro
in the presence of arsenic. They include superoxide anion, hydroxyl radical,
hydrogen peroxide, reactive nitrogen species, and arsenic -centered and arsenic
peroxyl radicals. The mechanisms of ROS formation by arsenic are not
completely clear: they may be produced during oxidation of arsenite (III) to
arsenate (V) during metabolization, by stimulation of the enzymes NADH or
NADPH oxidase, and NOX, or by mobilization of free iron from ferritin. Nitric
oxide (NO) is one of the main mediators released from the endothelium. It has
the following properties- 1. vasodilatory and
2. anti-inflammatory properties,
and inhibits platelet adhesion and aggregation, as well as smooth muscle cell
proliferation and migration. ROS inactivate NO and reduce its bioavailability in
the vascular endothelium. In addition to the direct action of ROS on NO, arsenic
inhibits endothelial NO synthetasis (eNOS), it depletes GSH – one of the main
antioxidant ROS scavengers – and inhibits redox enzymes (catalase, glutathione
peroxidase and reductase, thioredoxin reductase, superoxide dismutase). The
disruption of antioxidant defense mechanisms and the blocking of new NO
formation further decrease NO bioavailability and increase endothelial
dysfunction. It is notable that acute exposure or low doses do actually induce
redox enzymes, indirectly confirming their role in arsenic detoxification.
Consistently with the oxidative stress frame, several antioxidants have shown, in
vivo or in vitro, a protective effect against arsenic toxicity. These include N-
acetylcysteine, alpha-lipoic acid, vitamin C and E, taurine, quercetin, some plant
extracts including garlic and resveratrol. When NO concentrations are reduced,
the endothelial surface becomes more prone to atherosclerosis, cell adhesion and
thrombosis, a condition known as endothelial dysfunction, common to all major
CV risk factors (aging, hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, etc.). One of the
mechanisms by which arsenic induces endothelial dysfunction is by exaggerating
calcium influx in cells. Exposure to arsenic augments endothelial permeability
through increased VEGF 6 expression and reduces proteoglycan synthesis in
endothelial cells; individuals drinking water contaminated with As show dose-
dependent expression of plasma levels of cell adhesion molecules (CAM), i.e., a
pro-atherosclerotic endothelium. While it is known that arsenic enhances
oxidative stress, and that oxidative stress produces endothelial dysfunction, the
direct link between exposure to arsenic and endothelial dysfunction in humans
has not been investigated extensively.

Other mechanisms of CV damage

Endothelial dysfunction characterizes arterial hypertension,
and pharmacological blockade of eNOS by L-NMMA raises blood pressure, so
73
diminished NO availability is a plausible mechanism to link arsenic with

hypertension. Moreover, arsenic decreases in vitro vascular relaxation capability,
both endothelium-dependent and endothelium-independent, directly acting on
the smooth muscle cells, while it potentiates response to vasoconstrictors
through myosin light chain phosphorylation and Ca++ sensitization/inflow.
Interaction with arachidonic acid biotransformation, influencing vasoconstriction
and relaxation, may be another mechanism. Through the abovementioned
mechanisms, arsenic also exerts its direct cytotoxic effects on cardiomyocytes,
inducing apoptosis or necrosis; moreover, the myocardium appears to be a
sensitive target tissue for arsenic. However, population data are scarce, while
cardiotoxicity of As2O3 as a chemotherapeutic drug is well known. Specific effects of arsenic
on the heart could explain the disproportionate increase in CV events compared to stroke despite
the known effect on blood pressure. Although there appear to be no studies regarding a
relationship between heart failure or cardiomyopathy and arsenic, there are hints of a
synergistic toxic effect of arsenic and alcohol on the heart.
Oxidative stress and DCM:

It is clear from the above discussion, that oxidative stress is a
principal contributing factor in the development of dilated cardiomyopathy. So,
the mechanisms involved in the development of oxidative stress, capable of
developing DCM in a secondary way.

REASON OF SELECTION OF MEDICINES

Cactus glandiflorous:
 Alkaloids of cactus:
 Peyote
 Mescaline
 Hordenine (C10H15NO)
 Tyrmine (C8H11NO)
 Octopamine (C8H11NO2)
 N-methyl tyramine (C9H13NO)
 Synephrine (C9H13NO2)
 Beta-O-methylsynephrine (C13H17NO7)
 Caudicine (C11H19NO2)
 Oxycandicine
79
Among these alkaloids, the principal alkaloids present in the Cactus

glandiflorous are Mescaline, Hordenine and Caudicine.
Mescaline:
Mescaline or 3,4,5-trimethoxyphenethylamine is a naturally
occurring psychedelic alkaloid of the phenethylamine class, known for its
hallucinogenic effects similar to those of LSD and psilocybin. It shares
strong structural similarities with the catecholamine dopamine.
Mescaline is biosynthesized from tyrosine or a hydroxylated
phenylalanine. Mescaline's hallucinogenic properties stem from its
structural similarities with dopamine and serotonin. It act as a detoxifying
agent which is capable to detoxify the toxic effects of arsenic successfully.
In plants, this compound may be the end product of a pathway utilizing
catecholamines as a method of stress response, similar to how animals
may release compounds such as cortisol when stressed. Mescaline acts
similarly to other psychedelic agents. It binds to and activates
the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor with a high affinity. How activating the
5-HT2A receptor leads to psychedelia is still unclear, but it is likely to
involve, somehow, excitation of neurons in the prefrontal cortex.
Mescaline is also known to bind to and activate the serotonin 5-HT2C
receptor. Mescaline is responsible for the development of fear, anxiety,
irritability, depression and restlessness.
Hordenine:
Hordenine is biosynthesized by the step-wise N-methylation of
tyramine, which is first converted to N-methyl tyramine, and which, in
turn is methylated to hordenine. Hordenine is an adrenergic substance
with indirect action. It does not directly stimulate the nervous system and
encourage the release of norepinephrine but it liberates norepinephrine
from stores. In isolated organs and those structures with reduced
epinephrine contents the hordenine-effect is only very limited. Hordenine
has a positive inotropic effect upon the heart, increases systolic and
diastolic blood pressure, peripheral blood flow volume, inhibits gut
movements but has no effect upon the psychomotoric behaviour. Like
other monoamines, hordenine is metabolized by monoamine
oxidases (Hordenine was found to be a selective substrate for MAO-B,
from rat liver. It was not de-aminated by MAO-A from rat intestinal
epithelium). It has its effects on cardiac muscles and respiratory system,
exerts a nicotine-like action and acts as diuretic also. It act as a detoxifying
agent, which is capable to detoxify the toxic effects of arsenic successfully.
Caudicine:
Caudicine have a nicotine like action. It act as a stimulant at first
then on secondary phase, it blocks ganglionic sinuses. It also exerts an
adrenergic action.
80
So, from the above discussion we can easily understand that that Cactus glandiflorous is
a powerful drug to detoxify the poisonous actions of arsenic on the body and provide a
guard to cardio-vascular system, respiratory system, central nervous system and renal
system.
Natrum muriaticum (NaCl):
Reaction no. 01
Reaction 02
(14)
Reaction no. 03
Reaction no. 04
These are the reactions take place in order to development of the symptomatology in
arsenic poisoning. Reaction 01 state Arsenic trioxide the dissolved arsenic in the water,
when ingested, it reacts with HCl and forms a highly toxic substance AsOCl. According
to reaction 02 and 03 state that in the reaction of arsenic and table salt causes excess
liberation of free sodium in the blood, which resulting into hypernatremia and
hypertension. From this perspective according to the Homoeopathic law, Natrum
muriaticum is selected and the desired cure take place.

JOURNAL- THE HOMOEOPATHIC HERITAGE

PSYCHOLOGICAL STRESS INDUCED CANCER AND ITS
HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH
Dr. Sinchan Das
In this modern civilization, the society receives a good number of experiences along with
many new diseases and defects which can harm the entire society. Among these, the
most vulnerable is Cancer. But it should be clear in our mind that, it is not merely a
pathological condition of the material body, rather it is the resultant of the extremely
unscientific lifestyle of this time i.e. stress and mental anxiety, lack of physical exercise,
irregular diet, extreme level of artificially harbored food products, irregular food habit,
variety of addictions and lack of sound sleep. On the basis of our Homoeopathic concept
of disease we know that, disease is not only a physical entity rather it is the dynamic
deviation from the health, predisposed by “ the ascertainable physical constitution of the
patient, his moral and intellectual character, his occupation, mode of living and habits,
his social and domestic relations, his age, sexual functions, and etc”(ORGANON OF
MEDICINE, 6th edition by Dr.C.F.S.Hahnemann) even our mode of thinking also plays
an important role in the formation of the disease.
Now let’s come to the matter of our discussion, “Psychological Stress induced
Cancer and its Homoeopathic Approach." Stress or better to say Psychological stress is a
serious threat to our society because it can lead to so many pathological conditions,
among which cancer is the most dangerous. Before we go through the topic in detail we
have to take a short view regarding the basic phenomenon of Psychological Stress and
Cancer individually.
Psychological Stress is simply a reaction to a stimulus that disturbs our physical and or
mental equilibrium. In other words, it is an omnipresent part of life. It can be divided as
Acute Stress response and Chronic Stress response. Acute stress reaction (also called
acute stress disorder, psychological shock, mental shock, or simply shock) is a
psychological condition arising in response to a terrifying or traumatic event, or
witnessing a traumatic event. Acute stress disorder is the result of a traumatic event in
which the person experiences or witnesses an event that causes the victim/witness to
experience extreme, disturbing, or unexpected fear, stress, or pain, and that involves or
threatens serious injury, perceives serious injury, or death to themselves or someone
else. A study of rescue personnel after exposure to a traumatic event showed no gender
difference in acute stress reaction. Acute stress reaction is a variation of post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD). The onset of a stress response is associated with specific
physiological actions in the sympathetic nervous system, both directly and indirectly
through the release of adrenaline and to a lesser extent noradrenaline from the medulla
of the adrenal glands. These catecholamine hormones facilitate immediate physical
reactions by triggering increases in heart rate and breathing, constricting blood vessels.
An abundance of catecholamine at neuroreceptor sites facilitates reliance on
spontaneous or intuitive behaviors often related to combat or escape. But long term or
'Chronic stress' can have detrimental effects on health.
Now, let us come to the next point of our discussion i.e. Effects of stressors on
nervous system.
83
The peripheral nervous system (PNS) consists of two subsystems: the somatic nervous
system and the autonomic nervous system. When a physical stressor acts upon the
body the sensory-somatic nervous system is triggered through stimulation of the body's
sensory nerves. The signal acts as a nerve impulse and travels through the body in a
process of electrical cell-to-cell communication until it reaches the autonomic nervous
system. Activation of the autonomic nervous system immediately triggers a series of
involuntary chemical responses throughout the body. Preganglionic neurons
release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). This stimulates postganglionic
neurons which release noradrenaline. The noradrenaline flows directly into the
bloodstream ensuring that all cells in the body's nervous and endocrine systems have
been activated even in areas where the ganglionic neurons are unable to reach.
When a stressor acts upon the body, the endocrine system is triggered by the
release of the neurotransmitter noradrenaline by the autonomic nervous system.
Noradrenaline stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) which
processes the information about the stressor in the hypothalamus. This quickly signals
the pituitary gland and finally triggers the adrenal cortex. The adrenal cortex responds
by signaling the release of the corticosteroids cortisol and corticotropin releasing
hormone (CRH) directly into the bloodstream.
The Central nervous system (CNS) is made up of the brain and the spinal cord.
The brain is equipped to process stress in three main areas: the amygdala, the
hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex. Each of these areas is densely packed with
stress corticosteroid receptors which process the intensity of physical and psychological
stressors acting upon the body through a process of hormone reception. There are two
types of corticosteroid receptors: mineralocorticoid receptors and glucocorticoid
receptors. The mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) have an extremely high affinity for
cortisol. This means that they are at least partially stimulated at all times and therefore
are entirely activated almost immediately when a true stressor is disrupting the
homeostasis of the body. The second type of receptor, glucocorticoid receptors (GR),
have a low affinity for cortisol and only begin to become activated as the sensation of
stress reaches its peak intensity on the brain.
Stress dramatically reduces the ability of the blood brain barrier (BBB) to block the
transfer of chemicals including hormones from entering the brain from the
bloodstream. Therefore when corticosteroids are released into the bloodstream – they
are immediately able to penetrate the brain and bind first the MR and then the GR. As
the GR begin to become activated, neurons in the amygdala, hippocampus, and
prefrontal cortex become over stimulated. This stimulation of the neurons triggers a
fight-or-flight response which allows the brain to quickly process information and
therefore deal with life-threatening situations. If the stress response continues and
becomes chronic, the hyperactivity of the neurons begins to physically change the brain
and have severe damaging effects on one's mental health. As the neurons begin to
become stimulated, calcium is released through channels in their cell membranes.
Although initially this allows the cells chemical signals to continue to fire, allowing
nerve cells to remain stimulated, if this continues the cells will become overloaded with
calcium leading to over-firing of neuron signals. The over-firing of the neurons is seen to
the brain as a dangerous malfunction; therefore, triggering the cells to shut down to
avoid death due to over stimulation.
84
Decline in both neuroplasticity and long-term potentiation (LTP) occurs in humans

after experiencing levels of high continual stress.
To maintain homeostasis the brain continuously forms new neural

connections, reorganizing its neural pathways, and working to fix damages caused by
injury and disease. This keeps the brain vital and able to perform cognitive complex
thinking. When the brain receives a distress signal it immediately begins to go into
overdrive. Neural pathways begin to fire and rewire at hyper-speed to help the brain
understand how to handle the task at hand. Often, the brain becomes so intently focused
on this one task that it is unable to comprehend, learn, or cognitively understand any
other sensory information that is being thrown at it during this time. This over
stimulation in specific areas and extreme lack of use in others causes several
physiological changes in the brain to take place which overall reduces or even destroys
the neuroplasticity of the brain. Dendritic spines found in the dendrite of neurons begin
to disappear and many dendrites become shorter and even less complex in structure.
Glia cells begin to atrophy and neurogenesis often ceases completely. Without
neuroplasticity, the brain loses the ability to form new connections and process new
sensory information. Connections between neurons become so weak that it becomes
nearly impossible for the brain to effectively encode long-term memories; therefore, the
LTP of the hippocampus declines dramatically.
The most important aspect of the immune system are T-cells found in the form of T-
helper and T-suppressor cells. Cortisol, once released into the bloodstream, immediately
begins to cause division of T-Suppressor cells. This rapid cell division increases the
number of T-Suppressor cells while at the same time suppressing T-helper cells. This
reduces immune protection and leaves the body vulnerable to disease and infection.
Now, let us come to our next topic of discussion Cancer. Cancer is a group of
diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other
parts of the body. The hallmarks of cancer are:
1) Cell growth and division absent the proper signals.
2) Continuous growth and division even in contrary signals.
3) Avoidance of programmed cell death.
4) Limitless number of cell division.
5) Angiogenesis
6) Invasion of tissues and formation of metastasis.
Now, let us have a look on the causation of cancer:
1. Chemicals-
(a) Tobacco Smoke- Tobacco smoke contains over 50 known carcinogens, including
Nitrosamines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
(b) Alcohol- Account for Hepatic and Gastro- Intestinal tract cancer
(c) Inhalation of Asbestos dust, Silica etc- Lung cancer and Mesothelioma
(d) Benzene exposure- may leads to Leukaemia.
2. Diet and Exercise-

Some risk factors associated with diet are-
(a) High salt diet- Gastric cancer
85
(b) Aflatoxin B1- Liver Cancer

(c) Beetle nut chewing- Oral Cancer
3. Infections-
Oncoviruses-
(a) Human Papilloma Virus (HPV)- Cervical Cancer of uterus
(b) Epstein- Barr Virus (EPV)- B- cell lympho-proliferative disease and
Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
(c) Kaposi's sarcoma herpes virus (KSHV)- Kaposi's sarcoma and
Primary effusion lymphomas.
(d) Hepatitis B and C Viruses (HBV & HCV)- Hepatocellular Carcinoma
(e) Human T-cell Leukaemia Virus 1 (HTLV-1)- T-cell leukaemia.
Bacterias-
Helicobacter pylori- Gatric cancer
Parasites-
a) Schistosoma haematobium- Squamous cell carcinoma of bladder
b) Liver flukes, Opistaorcis viverini and Clonorchis sinensis-
Cholangiocarcinoma
4. Radiation-
(a) Ultra- Violet radiation from sun- Melanoma and other Skin malignancies
(b) Non- ionizing medium wave UVB- Non melanoma skin cancers
(c) Other radiations- Medical imaging, Radon gass exposure etc.
5. Heredity-
Mutations in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2- A BRCA mutation is a mutation in either of
the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, which are tumor suppressor genes. Hundreds of different
types of mutations in these genes have been identified, some of which have been
determined to be harmful, while others have no proven impact. Harmful mutations in
these genes may produce a hereditary breast-ovarian cancer syndrome in affected
persons. Only 5-10% of breast cancer cases in women are attributed to BRCA1 and
BRCA2 mutations (with BRCA1 mutations being slightly more common than BRCA2
mutations), but the impact on women with the gene mutation is more profound. Women
with harmful mutations in either BRCA1 or BRCA2 have a risk of breast cancer that is
about five times the normal risk, and a risk of ovarian cancer that is about ten to thirty
times normal. The risk of breast and ovarian cancer is higher for women with a high-risk
BRCA1 mutation than with a BRCA2 mutation. Having a high-risk mutation does not
guarantee that the woman will develop any type of cancer, or imply that any cancer that
appears was actually caused by the mutation, rather than some other factor. High-risk
mutations, which disable an important error-free DNA repair process (homology
directed repair), significantly increase the person's risk of developing breast cancer,
ovarian cancer and certain other cancers. Why BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations lead
preferentially to cancers of the breast and ovary is not known, but lack of BRCA1
function seems to lead to non-functional X-chromosome inactivation. Not all mutations
are high-risk; some appear to be harmless variations. The cancer risk associated with
86
any given mutation varies significantly and depends on the exact type and location of
the mutation and possibly other individual factors. Mutations can be inherited from
either parents or may pass to both sons and daughters. Each child of a genetic carrier,
regardless of sex, has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated gene from the parents who
carry the mutation. As a result, half of the people with BRCA gene mutations are male,
who would then pass the mutation on to 50% of their offspring, male or female. The risk
of BRCA-related breast cancers for men with the mutation is higher than for other men,
but still low. However, BRCA mutations can increase the risk of other cancers, such as
colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and prostate cancer.
6. Physical Agents-

Chiefly the Stress hormones, e.g. Glucocorticoids, Mineralocorticoids, Epinephrine,
Nor- epinephrine etc and Growth hormones etc plays an important role in
Carcinogenesis.
Now, after considering the causations of cancer we have to know about the
cancer triggers, those are- Processed or Over cooked foods, Raw sugars, Trans fats,
HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup), Cow's milk, Soda, Deficiency of Vitamin-A, Vitamin-
C, Vitamin-D, Vitamin-E, Vitamin-K2, Sulphur, Selenium, Zinc, Omega-3-EFA, GLA
(Gamma Linolenic Acid), Pancreatic enzymes, Systemic enzymes, Smoking, Alcoholism,
Pharmaceutical drugs, Environ, Toxins, Pesticides, GMOs (Genetically Modified Foods),
HFCS, Artificial sweetners, Dyes, Cosmetics, Hair products, Sedentary lifestyle, No
sunshine, Stress, Insomnia, Negative thinking, Diabetes mellitus, Obesity, Cardio-
Vascular Disturbances, Hypertension, Candiasis, Autoimmune diseases etc.
Now, let us move to our next topic, where we should try to draw a link between
Psychological stress and Cancer. Before we go through this complex phenomenon, we
have to consider another terminology in short, i.e. Oxidative stress.
Oxidative stress reflects an imbalance between the systemic manifestation of reactive
oxygen species and a biological system's ability to readily detoxify the reactive
intermediates or to repair the resulting damage. Disturbances in the normal redox state
of cells can cause toxic effects through the production of peroxides and free radicals that
damage all components of the cell, including proteins, lipids, and DNA. Oxidative stress
from oxidative metabolism causes base damage, as well as strand breaks in DNA. Base
damage is mostly indirect and caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated, e.g.
O2− (superoxide radical), OH (hydroxyl radical) and H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide).
Further, some reactive oxidative species act as cellular messengers in redox signaling.
Thus, oxidative stress can cause disruptions in normal mechanisms of cellular signaling.
87
This oxidative stress in responsible for development of Cancer mainly.
Now, let us try to draw a link between Oxidative stress metabolic pathways and
Anxiety (It is the commonest and a serious outcome of chronic psychological stress)
related phenotypes. In 2005, Hovetta et al. identified a close relationship between
antioxidative defense mechanisms and anxiety related phenotypes. They found that, in
the brain the expression of Glutathione reductase 1 and Glycoxalase 1, which are genes
involved in antioxidative metabolism, is highly related with the anxiety related
phenotypes.
In living organisms, an imbalance between oxidant production and antioxidant
protection that favours oxidant causing a state termed as Oxidative stress. In this state,
there can be differences in gene expression, protein conformation and cellular signaling.
This state also alters neurotransmission, neuronal function and brain activity, as well as
disrupting membrane integrity, even neuronal cell death may result. So, in the
treatment our goal should be either activation of TSG to control cellular proliferation
physiologically or facilitate DNA repair and prevention of mutation.
Now, let us come to most interesting part of our discussion, “The Homoeopathic
Approach.” Although in Homoeopathic mode of treatment, there is no Medicine
specified for a particular disease. Because, this mode of treatment does not categorize
diseases from their nosological name, rather it emphasized on the symptomatological
totality. But, if we carefully go through the symptomatology of the patient, then we can
easily construct the disease picture and simultaneously if we go through the medicinal
symptoms from our ‘Materia Medica’, found during Drug proving and the pathogenesis
of those symptoms, then we can easily find the similar disease symptoms and better to
say the symptoms according to their cause, their different stages etc. Then by matching
those, we can easily find our ‘Similimum’ suitable for a particular case.
For better understanding, we can discuss some cases treated as per Homoeopathic
system of medicine. According to the ‘Clinical Repertory’ by Dr. Robbin Murphy, few 1st
graded medicines suited for cancer are, Carcinocin, Arsenicum album, Sulphur, Coffea
cruda etc, but these drugs are applicable as per the symptoms given by the patient. The
symptoms varies according to the status and susceptibility of the patient.
Now, let us come to the Arsenicum album and its role in the treatment of the
cancer. Our Arsenicum album is chemically Arsenic trioxide. This arsenic trioxide
chemically has the potential to kill the targeted pathological areas when it is prescribed
homoeopathically in lower potency. The chimeric protein encoded by the PML-RAR
alpha gene that is pathognomonic of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) causes the
arrest of myeloid cell development at the promyelocyte stage, leading to an
accumulation of abnormal promyelocytes in the bone marrow. Differentiation therapy
with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) is used routinely in patients with APL, but ATRA is
not the only agent in clinical use that promotes differentiation of the abnormal clone.
Arsenic trioxide (ATO) has been shown to cause degradation of PML-RAR alpha,
promoting differentiation. APL cells are extremely sensitive to ATO, which has shown
good clinical activity at low doses in patients with relapsed APL. However, degradation
of PML-RAR alpha may not be wholly responsible for the great sensitivity of APL cells to
ATO that also acts through the intracellular environment to influence apoptosis,
differentiation, growth arrest, and angiogenesis. ATO can act at several points in
88
mitochondrially induced apoptosis, including degradation of peroxides and interaction

with glutathione (GSH)-related enzymes. Subclones that are resistant to ATO have been
used to demonstrate that sensitivity can be restored by reducing the cellular GSH
content. GSH can be reduced using agents such as buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) and
ascorbic acid. The key factors that determine the ATO sensitivity of cells and control
ATO-induced apoptosis have not yet been defined. It has been proposed that ATO acts
through activation of Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), activator protein-1, and inhibition of
dual-specificity phosphatases, and evidence is accumulating that JNK activation is an
important event in arsenic-induced apoptosis. Further research is required to determine
the exact pathways through which the cytotoxic actions of ATO are mediated.
Now, let us concentrate on a case treated by Arsenicum album.

MECHANISM OF ACTION OF HOMOEOPATHIC

MEDICINES
Author: Dr. Sinchan Das
Abstract:
Science is such a subject; need to be devoid of any biasness and prejudice.
Among the different braches of science, the most practical branch is ‘Health science’,
which deals with the life directly by the means of health education, health care delivery
and prevention of the pathological conditions. There are several different systems of
medicine exists in the world, named Allopathy, Homoeopathy, Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani
etc based on different principles. Among these systems, Homoeopathy is most
controversial for the so-called scientific community, as it is little difficult to understand
materialistically. As it is little bit of different from usual path, they generally consider it
as ‘pseudoscience’ and ‘placebo effect.’ We are instituting this study from a neutral point
of view, not tilted towards any medicinal system for explaining the most debatable
question of the century ‘what is the mechanism of action of Homoeopathic
medicines.’
Many people said, ‘I do not have faith on Homoeopathy/ Allopathy/
Ayurveda etc’, but very clearly saying that, ‘any of the scientific phenomena does not
require any faith on them, they works in their own way’ spontaneously without
bothering anyone’s believe or disbelief. In this study, we are taking some medicines and
some diseases, because it is nearly impossible to describe all medicines and all diseases
in a particular research work. Every system of medicine has their own scopes and
limitations, so it is useless and immaterial to declare any of the systems as unscientific
without any clearly defined reason just based on their self-preference or any particular
business purposes. It is not only the faults of few scientists or people, rather it is a fault
of homoeopathic researchers and doctors also, because they does not feel any need to
prove the ‘Modus operandi’ of Homoeopathic remedies, as in an aphorism of ‘Organon
of Medicine’ Hahnemann had written, knowledge about the modus operandi of
Homoeopathic medicines is not much important than giving aid to the suffering society.
We have taken several patients with different diseases as the control, then we have
applied the needed homoeopathic remedies accordingly and doing several pathological
examinations and clinical examinations except the feeling of the particular patient, as
for few people, feeling may be subjected under the ‘placebo effect’. Finally, we have tried
to figure out the mechanism of action of Homoeopathic remedies in a simple and clearly
defined manner.
96
Introduction:
Science is the study of natural phenomena by means of observation,
discussion, cross-examination and experimentation where possible. Science is
theoretically sub-divided into physical science, discussed about the physical world and
life science, discussed about the living world. Among the different branches of life
science, health science is that branch of ‘applied science’, which deals with our health &
health care delivery system directly. Health sciences are classified according to the mode
of treatment into several different sectors, like Allopathy, Homoeopathy, Ayurveda etc
in a faulty manner. In this extremely developed time, when the world has resolved many
complicated mysteries, drowned under the dump of diseases or several disharmonious
conditions rapidly and continuously, just because of our biased and prejudiced nature.
There are two groups of people existing in the society; one of them are the intellectual
one, either knowing the matters then explain those or explain the matters without
having any knowledge. The other one are the mass; they either follow the path prevailed
in the society or very much eager to passing foolish comments & explanations blindly. It
is that precious sector of science, dealt with life directly and must be devoid of any
noxious business influences. But, it is very painful that these important sectors are
directed by the business strategies nakedly or in an indirect manner. Before proceeding
further, I want to discuss about nature & health in brief.
According to the WHO, “Health is a state of complete physical, mental and
social well-being and not merely an absence of disease or infirmity.” From this
definition, we can easily figure out that, there are three factors important in order to
maintain health, i.e. 1) physical factors, 2) mental factors & 3) social factors.
Therefore, for the maintenance of health, removing of the pathological condition is not
sufficient; rather there is a need to restore the physical, mental and social status
appropriately. Mental, physical and social factors are interdependable to each other not
different from one and another. Each and every physical illness has an important
psychological side in their development; further every psychological deviation can
contribute in several physical complaint seriously. So, we can say easily these are
interdependable. So, to make a man absolutely healthy one have to remove their
psychological and physical deviations thoroughly.

Again, individual wellness can contribute a major role in the social health,
because society is the composition of enormous amounts of individuals, or one can say
individuals are the fragmentary parts of larger society. Individual wellness can enhance
individual contribution and individual productivity, which collectively results into social
productivity. Therefore, to enhance a gross social productivity, development of
individual productivity is very much important. That is why for the purpose of
treatment, considering several systems of the body in an isolated manner and exclusion
of mental parameters from their collection is nothing but a faulty and wrong way of
approach. For that purpose of restoration of health, correction of life style and removal
of the social stigmas are two important pillars need to be performed thoroughly
carefully. Otherwise due to our biased approach, the conditions of the patients has to be
deteriorated due to the over usage of drugs.

There are lots of thoughts, myths, habits and practices, prevailed

throughout the ages, which are the principal enemy of healthy life and healthy
atmosphere. Fight against these enemies of the society is one of the important work of
the people who want a healthy and peaceful world. For the purpose of treatment, we
have to be wiser, more knowledgeable, more analytical, more methodical and obviously
unprejudiced. Now come to our next point of discussion, i.e. ‘nature’. “Nature is a
balanced state, where all the elements of the nature live harmoniously and unitedly,
under a fixed principle.” As we all belongs to the natural community, we have to follow
the natural rules and principles carefully, otherwise in the long run nature will exclude
us like a diseased part.
Before proceeding further, I want to discuss about the fundamental

structure of the body at first. We know that, the body is composed of enormous amounts
of cells. Cells are the structural and functional unit of body. These cells are
fundamentally composed of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and many inorganic
compounds. The biomolecules, like carbohydrate, protein and fat are composed of basic
elements in different arrangements and numbers, i.e. carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and
oxygen with the direct and indirect association of several inorganic substances like
phosphorus, chlorine, potassium, sodium, magnesium etc. If one is capable of
demonstrating internal organization of these elements, they will find these elements are
the composition of many minute molecules. Each molecule is composed of many atoms;
atoms are the composition of different charged particles, like proton (positively
charged), neutron (neutral), electron (negatively charged), positron, neutrino. Boson
etc; these fundamental particles are composed of several quarks different in
arrangement and finally these quarks are nothing but the condensation of energy.

BUNDLE OF ENERGY
From the above discussion, one can easily understand one bitter truth of this
earth, i.e. every component, every element and every material of this earth is
100
fundamentally formed by the condensation of energy, which is far beyond our

materialistic concepts. It is very obvious that when every natural and physical
phenomenon are governed by energy and most fundamental form of the body is nothing
but the energy, even we are connected with this greater nature by means of energy, the
polluting or pathological agents deranging our health by means of energy, i.e. there
disease producing power. When disease produced due to the imbalance in the energy
field of materialistic body and disease produced by the energy, then it is obvious that,
the correction can be done by the means of energy. It will our only goal to correct the
particular imbalance accordingly, not the application of more harmful chemicals, which
can derange the state of health more violently.
The incidents, we are unable to understand or to explain, usually declared as

‘accidents’, ‘miracles’, ‘happen by chance’ etc, just due to our biased mentality cannot
permit us to allow those to consider as correct results. This is nothing but the
‘preference’, because preference is made on the basis of personal comfort, guided by the
mentality to avoid risks, tendency to avoid controversies and to obtain results easily.
This nature is nothing but the ‘biasness’. Homoeopathy, Ayurveda these traditional
systems of medicines are victim of this bias nature & forcefully endorsed Allopathic
system of medicine in our life. As our topic of study is ‘mechanism of action of
Homoeopathic medicines’ I want to discuss about Homoeopathy in short. Homoeopathy
is a system of medicine, based on a fixed principle i.e. ‘similia similibus curenter’ and
following three fundamental guidelines, i.e. 1) minimum medicine, 2) minimum
dose and 3) maximum similarity. Historically the concept of ‘like cure likes’
originated in time of the father of medicine Hippocrates. After long time, Dr. C.F.S.
Hahnemann established this system of medicine with the name Homoeopathy. Before
selecting a Homoeopathic remedy, it is of prime importance that we have to construct a
perfect ‘totality of symptoms’, depending on which we have to select the particular
indicated Homoeopathic remedy. We know that, every stimulus capable of altering a
particular state of health, altering in a unique manner and varying in intensity. From
this point of view, Homoeopathy does not consider disease alone, rather a diseased
person as a whole. In Homoeopathy, there are more than one medicine grouped under a
single disease, but when one consider all the deviations of body and mind carefully, they
can find only one medicine indicated for the particular pathological state. For example,
if we some cases of ‘Arsenic poisoning’, where many people think as Homoeopathy
considers ‘like cure likes’, then one can prescribe the Homoeopathic Arsenicum album
in every case of arsenic poisoning blindly and observing the inappropriate results they
can easily able to declare that Homoeopathy is a pseudoscience or nothing but the
placebo effect etc. But, by considering the symptomatology of arsenic poisoning, one can
easily find there are different symptoms & signs in different stages of arsenic poisoning.
That is why in those different phases you have to prescribe different Homoeopathic
medicines to obtain a desired result. Before considering these minutest deviations for
medicinal selection, it is immaterial to declare any biased statements blindly.
101
Now, let us come to another point of discussion, i.e. ‘mode of treatment’. The
mode of treatment means the paths need to be followed to treat a pathological
condition. Which path is ideal for treatment is intentionally controversial and debatable
also. Let us take a view on the possible routes of treatment procedures. Treatment can
be done mainly with the help of drugs along with many other methods but the
physicians readily avoid those methods in recent dates. The body is a self-manageable
instrument, not a non-living instrument. The body has the capabilities to combat with
the offending pathological stimuluses and agents spontaneously with its own
instruments. Now the question arises, if body can combat with all insults spontaneously,
then what is the utility to apply any medicinal substance and how? It is true that body is
a self- manageable instrument, but every instrument have their limitation of work. To
help the living instrument we have to assist the body with our medicines not to interrupt
its action with artificial chemical substances.
Another point we have to discuss, i.e. the placebo effects. Discussion of the ‘placebo
effect’ is important, because many people consider homoeopathic medicinal effects as
placebo effects. Placebo is a non-medicinal substance does not possess any medicinal
properties. These substances are used to treat patients psychologically or to give mental
satisfaction to the patients. But before considering a case for placebo, one have to
sanguine about the nature of the case. Placebo can treat any sensation of discomfort
does not originated pathologically or not deep-seated; but natural diseases having
pathological findings cannot be treated with placebo. After considering remarkable
changes in the pathological data, even in those cases where modern medicine failed to
act, considering Homoeopathic medicines as placebo is nothing but the proof of their
biasness and faulty way of thought and half- hearted knowledge. We know that for the
development of a pathological condition, there is a major role of our thought, rather
better to say maximum of the role played by our thought, but the exact mechanism is
still not known.
Homoeopathic Medicines:
Many people has called ‘Homoeopathic Medicines’ as diluted poisons and marked
as mixtures without any medicinal properties but in recent dates, a scientific team of IIT
Bombay has demonstrated about the existence of the starting component in the higher
dilution also. On another side, few intellectual personalities of USA said that,
Homoeopathic dilutions are harmful substances and it has a severe adverse effect on the
organism. These are the ever-debatable topics of extremely materialistic community and
business personals; because it is very easily understandable that these above mentioned
statements are opposite to each other. This is not our point of discussion, because my
duty is to describe about the mechanism of action of Homoeopathic medicines only.

Methods:
Patients are carefully selected by observing their every single pathological
deviation even a minutest also and make sure that the complaints are completely devoid
of any fabrication, exaggeration, miss interpretation and hypochondriasis. Every case is
considered as a fresh one for the purpose of observation, clinical examination,
questioning and pathological findings.
After taking the case thoroughly, the next step is to construct a ‘totality of
symptom’, i.e. the ideal picture of the patient or sufferer, on the basis of which we can
prescribe indicated medicine. For selection of medicine in acute cases, prime
considerable point is the causation of that particular pathology and followed by
modalities and concomitant symptoms.
Then we have observed the changes manifested in the patients carefully by
examining and cross-examining them and observing there pathological data carefully.
We have designed a case taking preform, so that a thorough & detailed case taking can
be instituted. Both acute & chronic cases are thoroughly categorized in this manner.
As every pathological condition has a major background of psychological
deviation, we have spent a lot of time with them for excluding the disturbed
psychological background at first, which has successfully relieve several
symptomatologies and their pathological data also showing their improvement; even in
those cases having no psychological background also showing improvement due to the
continuous effort to spread positive thought by our medical team.-

105
Discussion:
On the basis of above findings and data, one can easily able to find out the
improvements of the cases treated with homoeopathic medications. It is impossible that
all cases treated with Homoeopathic medications are Accidents or happen by chance
cases. Now, let us come to the main point of discussion, how homoeopathic medicine
works? The body is a self-manageable instrument, with the capabilities to combat with
the offending pathological stimuluses spontaneously. Before proceed further, just take a
rough view to the pathological responses. When the body is exposed to any kind of
pathological stimulus, which is capable of damaging the organism, body gives its 1st line
of defense by the means of allergic reaction. We know that allergy is a defensive
mechanism of our body which can release several chemicals which can produce these
allergic reactions and to neutralize or control those allergic reactions body secrets anti-
allergic substances itself. If allergy continues that may results into inflammation, which
is called the first line defense exerts by the body by means of inflammatory mediators,
needed for the pathological conditions. These chemicals liberated by the body has
varying potentials to damage the cells. Therefore, to control the excessive amount of
secretion of mediators or to protect the body from the vulnerable effects of those
chemicals, body has several pathways to control, that may be through neural or
chemical mechanism. Not only in the case of inflammation, these type of phenomena
occurs within the body naturally, if any pathological condition occurs. We know, chronic
diseases can be categorized according to their contributing factors, like psychological,
lifestyle, drug-induced, genetic and natural.
When a natural disease occurs with the contributions of psychological
factors, life styles, genetic factors, and others they have successfully deranged our body
and mind by means of the dynamic deranging potentials of pathological stimuluses; the
body exerts a protective response grossly. During this procedure, we can find the
manifestations by means of symptoms and signs from each systems of the body. So,
symptomatologies are the result of these complex mechanisms and these does not arise
due to the pathological stimulus alone, rather due to the cellular damage occurs by the
chemical substances liberated to combat with the pathological insult also. There is no
need to provide crude artificial chemical substances for the purpose of controlling the
pathological procedures, because body has its own protective mechanisms to control
those. The purpose of prescribing medicines is just to limit the gross damage occurs by
the insults by providing strength to the body’s vitality. Before prescribing a
homoeopathic remedy, one have to thoroughly compare the drug pathogenesis with the
disease pathogenesis.

If any of the chemicals get increased or decreased

than their usual or required values and body fails to fix
that disharmony, body starts to producing

Drug pathogenesis means, how a drug substance can alter a state of health
and produce symptomatology. Drug substances are derived from different sources,
like vegetable kingdom, animal kingdom, mineral kingdom, nosodes, sarcodes etc. Drug
substances are basically composed of different elements in different number and
arrangement; those elements are composed of different molecules, which are ultimately
composed by quarks and we know that, quarks are nothing but the collection of energy.
We know from our previous discussion that, body is basically collection of energy and it
is governed by the energy. It is well known to us that energy cannot be created or
destroyed by any means, it is converted from one form to another. This drug
pathogenesis can be encountered during the procedure of drug proving.

ROLE OF COLOURS ON HUMAN LIFE.

Dr. Sinchan Das.
Abstract
Life is not only a materialistic subject to study; rather it is an unrevealed truth of the
nature, among which human life is most complicated one to understand. In life, another
interesting subject of discussion is health. Maintenance of health is the only goal to
reach for the betterment of nature. Maintenance of health means avoidance of disease or
any kind of damaging influence, which can disturb the health of an individual.
Maintenance of health is not only an important issue, rather it is a tough job, because it
includes promotion of the healthy habits, healthy choices, healthy food habit, healthy
thought, disease free life, avoidance of infections, avoidance of genetic disturbances,
avoidance of natural pollutants etc & educate the society in an unbiased and scientific
education. Among all parameters, choice of colour is our topic of study, which is also
an important part for the maintenance of health. Because, colour is associated with
every object of this nature and colour preference is usually made by our subconscious
mind, according to the nature of the particular person. Choice of colour is important to
judge the mental state and physical tendencies of a particular person, even one can
calculate the diseases, which can affect a person in future and from that point of view,
one can take measures to prevent those diseases. Not only the choice of colors, rather
their individual role on human life is also very important to know, because each
minutest deviation of any element of nature is sufficient to disturb the entire natural
community, because there is nothing individual in this nature. All are the parts of this
nature and they are of equal importance that is why any disturbance in one element is
sufficient to disturb the entire nature unavoidably. In this study, among the people of
different age groups, sex groups and religions, we observe their lifestyle, choices,
pathological conditions, even changes of choices in the different phase of their life and
the corresponding pathological conditions in those different phases. After this study, we
find significant and unavoidable relationship between the colors and human life.
Correction of life style is an important part of treatment.
Introduction:-
“Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely an
absence of disease or infirmity.” Therefore, for the maintenance of health, removing the
pathological condition is not sufficient; rather there is a need to restore the physical,
mental and social status appropriately. There is a lot of thoughts, myths, habits and
practices, prevailed throughout the ages, which are the principal enemies of healthy life
110
and healthy atmosphere. In this civilization, we have emphasized only on the treatment
of disease by medicines, but correction of social stigmas still are overlooked. This
biasness of the society is responsible for these uncontrolled disease pillars in the society.
Diseases are not only disturbing an individual or a family or a group, rather they create a
disharmonious condition in the entire nature by several means. Degradation of our
thought, our mental stability and our characters are evidences of this disharmony. In
our daily life, an important and unavoidable terminology is choice. Choice involves
decision -making. It can include judging the merits of multiple options and selecting one
or more from them. This selection must be done in an unbiased manner and based on
some fixed and reliable principle. Choice must be done for the overall growth of the
nature, because individual growth can be achieved with some deprivation, which is also
capable of damaging the natural health. But in our everyday life, the so called choices we
use to make, are nothing but the preferences.
Preference generally instituted on the basis of personal comfort and tendency
of avoiding risk and this preference must be directed from one’s emotional point of view,
not the analytical point of view. Preference can be made on the basis of feeling and
instinct which are the properties of our subconscious mind and primary preference is
free from any manipulation done by the conscious mind. Therefore, preference is able to
formulate the basic mental and physical status of an individual and even their past and
future sufferings also. Among a number of preferences, preference of colour is an
important one to judge the character of an individual, which can help us to prevent his
or her future sufferings.
Colour is the quality of an object or substance with respect to light reflected by
the object, usually determined visually by measurement of hue, saturation, and
brightness of the reflected light. Human eyes are sensitive to light which lies in a very
small region of the electromagnetic spectrum, labelled ‘visible light’. This visible light
corresponds to a wavelength ranging from 400-700 nm and a colour range from violet
to red. We know that, colour of an object is determined by the reflection of the light rays
of specific wavelength responsible for that colour (Fig. 01). Light is a kind of
electromagnetic radiation, which is characterized by its wavelength, frequency and
intensity. This electromagnetic radiation has significant relation with the brain waves.

Although, the human body can be considered as a materialistic entity, but as per our
knowledge of Physics, we know that the primitive structure of body i.e. cell is made of
several inorganic compounds, which are composed of several molecules made of
charged particles in varying number; those particles are composed of several quarks and
finally the quarks are the bundles of energy. Not only human body, rather all
components of nature are nothing but the bundles of energy. More of all mind is nothing
but the energy and for this reason, the thought, memory, emotions all are governed by
the stimulus of energy. We can find from this study, how colour- preferences match with
the human life in an unavoidable manner and role of colour in the behavioral correction
and restoration of health also.
Historical Analysis:
In past, from several studies of several universities, most popular colour was royal blue
and white among mass, but at present most popular colour is black, then red.
Surprisingly, level of intellect has become much lower and depression as if grasp the
society rapidly.

Experimental Approach:
For confirmation of effects of colour on human nature, we are taking 20 peoples as
control and put them in a coloured atmosphere for 15 days different to their preferable
colors. As a result, after 15 days, we observe a marked change in their mental plane as
well as physical plane also.

Relation of colors and sound:
Chart 11
Colour, which is related to the visible light and sound both are energy in nature. Now,
the matter of discussion is the octave of visible light, which the human eye sees and its
relation to the sound heard by human ear. The octave of visible light extending from the
colour red to the colour violet is 40 octaves higher than the middle audio octave.
However,
light is measured by its wave length and sound by its frequency. Frequency is a measure
of how many waves occur in a given moment of time. Frequency is commonly measured
by the unit Hertz and 1 Hz= 1 cycle/second. If we have to raise Middle C of Piano, which
has the frequency of approx. 523 Hz, by 40 octaves. A higher frequency means that,
there are more waves occurring in a given amount of time, (12) thus the waves become
shorter as the frequency become higher. We can see from the above drawn chart that,
there are different scales can be found throughout the colour bar, in a cyclical manner.
So, there is an unavoidable relationship between these two energies.

Colour, Sound and Alpha wave of brain:
Chart 12
Discussion:-
From this study, we can say that colour preference is such a parameter, which generally
we think consciously controlled by us, but it is a subconscious entity. Our nature, habit,
130
lifestyle, genetic predispositions, mode of thinking, mental and physical states, all are
inevitably related with preference of colour. For that reason, change in the mental state
is closely associated with the preference of colour. That is why from the preference of
colour of a particular person we can judge his mental state, physical state, habit and life
style. Our mind is attracted by the particular colour automatically, identical to a
particular mental state and therefore is useful to identify the deviation or status of their
mental state, which may or may not be pathological. Preference of colour is also related
with our taste preferences. As a sequence, these mental states and physical desire can be
related with several pathological conditions like Diabetic Mellitus type – II, Alzheimer’s
disease, Multiple Personality Disorder, Irritable bowel syndrome, Hypertension etc. For
the purpose of confirmation, we put a group of people in a coloured atmosphere
absolutely different from their preference and after one month of study, their mental
states and desires become changed, identical to the particular colour in which they are
live. As chart 12 shows the frequency of Alpha wave produced by a particular colour
within our brain but surprisingly that particular frequency of alpha wave attracts our
mind to that particular colour, that is why we prefer that particular colour, in that
particular time. In this modern civilization, when the society is going to be submerged
under the dump of diseases, our mental health is rapidly deteriorating and aggression,
addiction, depression, arrogance, jealousy, superiority complexes grasp our
environment in the speed of light. In this situation, when we think ourselves as
individual entities of nature and ignoring the social health, it is necessary to observe
each minutest deviation of health and try to correct those from their roots, otherwise we
may unable to save our earth. We have to keep this in our mind that, this nature or
environment is running on the basis of interrelationship between the components of
nature. There is nothing, which can be considered as important or less important. If we
continue our arrogant nature by avoiding basic parameters biasedly and ruin all the
point of views with our partially correct understandings, then we are going to be
responsible for those irreversible damages in recent future. We may classify our body
under several ‘logies’, but it should be bourn in our mind that, all are interconnected
with each other. As mental states are very much tough to understand, difficult to explain
materialistically, so blindly we ignore that from our consideration. This biased nature of
us is the principal matter of worry. We cannot ignore the role of colors, because it is
related with us unavoidably.
How individualistic approaches affect the entire society:

There are two different perspectives observed regarding individualistic approaches.
Thinking and behaviour of an individual can stand for the betterment of the society and
can harm the social health in a similar manner, depending upon the type of stimulus. It
is very unfortunate that, bad impulses affect the society more than 30 times in
comparison to the good impulses. For that reason, it is our duty to correct the social
health by correcting the habits, thoughts and lifestyles individually with great care.

TOBACCO & ALCOHOL, THE SOCIAL

THREATS
By
Dr. Sinchan Das
Abstract:
From the ancient times, several distracting and negative impulses adapted by the
society willingly or unwillingly; whose damaging influences still continues, like tobacco,
alcohol and other many addictive materials are capable of destroy the entire nature.
More dangerously, these things are readily promoted by different governmental and
non-governmental organizations for their monetary benefit, in exchange of individual
and social health and productivity. These must not be allowed in any form, just because
of their short-term virtual benefit in exchange of long-lasting damage. These damaging
habits along with faulty one-sided interpretation of behaviors and thought are endorsed
within our life by different personals and organizations for their benefit only; which we
are continuously carrying with us blindly and unknowingly. Till today’s date, we are
proudly serving as the carriers of these habits and contributes a major part in these
disharmonious procedures. Theories and stories regarding these habits (mythological
and modern scientifically) are plan fully designed to justify their non-sense ideologies
regarding these, but those are ultimately hopeless and worthless. Among many harmful
materials common are tobacco, alcohol and cannabis. The purpose of this research work
is to provide thorough scientific information to the common mass regarding their false
understandings. Until and unless we are designed our lifestyle correctly by removing all
of the damaging influences, the future of the entire nature will surely be drowned under
deep darkness of disease, destruction and suffering. In this extensive study, we have
selected three most common addictive materials for study, those are 1. Tobacco 2.
Alcohol and 3. Cannabis. After the study, we have observed the alarming effects of
these materials. The modern way of living has become so unhealthy, whimsical,
diseased and drug-dependent as that is based on false virtual pillars.

Introduction:
Nature is the balanced state, where all the elements exist harmoniously
and perform their functions adequately, under a fixed principle. Among the natural
living world, humans are most complicated species and developed also. Humans
gradually improved themselves through the paths of evolution and established as the
ruling species of the nature. But during this procedure, they had harmed the nature
enormously. At first, they have damaged the environment for their development, but
along with this, they have adopted several destroyable practices also which harm
themselves directly or indirectly. Humans are the foremost species who feel the
importance to form a society for the purpose of existence. But along with the time, they
have formed several different boundaries around themselves and has started to fight
with each other; by this process, humans have established themselves as a selfish,
injurious, heartless species. In this addiction to harm others, they also started to injure
themselves ignorantly by adopting different addictions, worthless practices, injurious
habits and e.t.c. The human race is now subdivided into enumerable narrow sections on
the basis of land, religion, language and e.t.c.; up to this, the scenario may be considered
as tolerable and manageable. But, after this the degradation of social morality and unity
falls to that extent, where they have become blood-thirsty of each other. But most funny
thing is, during this phenomenon as they have injured the nature a lot, automatically
they have started to be drowned under different harmful practices; as a result of which
today’s so-called advanced and modern world is living under the dump of diseases.
These practices includes faulty lifestyle, unhealthy food-habits, injurious thoughts,
addictions, half-hearted knowledge, ignorance, selfishness, unhealthy competitions,
over individualistic attitude, arrogance, unscientific usage of drugs, miss-interpretation
of several factors, disbelief, disrespect and e.t.c. Among these our point of discussion
will be confined within the boundary of ‘Addiction’. Among different addictive
substances, we will confine our discussion within two vastly distributed substances,
which are ‘tobacco’ and ‘alcohol’. Our objective of study is to provide thorough
information about the damages done by these addictive substances, in different extents.
All social awareness programs provide partial information about the damages, under a
cover of regular routine. Taking of addictive materials must not be the choice of an
individual or freedom of an individual; it is a matter of social interest. One can say easily
that, how can a person’s habit become a matter of social interest? The answer is, every
ting which are the parts of this nature are bound to perform their individual work for the
nature, which are collectively counted as the ‘social productivity’. That is why every
elements of this nature are of equal importance, whatever may be their status. So, it is
the responsibility of entire society, to promote healthy living not through media, rather
through everyone’s acceptance and performance. Before any detailed discussion, all
have to habituated with this ‘Concept of Equality’ at first. Endorsement of over-
135
individualistic nature is one of the culprits of this social degradation and social
destruction.

Addiction:
Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and
related circuitry. Addiction affects neurotransmission and interactions within reward
structures of the brain, including the nucleus accumbens, anterior cingulate cortex,
basal forebrain and amygdala, such that motivational hierarchies are altered and
addictive behaviors, which may or may not include alcohol and other drug use, supplant
healthy, self-care related behaviors. Addiction also affects neurotransmission and
interactions between cortical and hippocampal circuits and brain reward structures,
such that the memory of previous exposures to rewards (such as food, sex, alcohol and
other drugs) leads to a biological and behavioral response to external cues, in turn
triggering craving and/or engagement in addictive behaviors.
136

We have taken persons of different age groups, sex groups, religions and
occupations and grouped them under three broad categories, those are:
GROUPS Substance Used

Group- 1 Not take any abusive substance
Group-2 Tobacco only
Group-3 Alcohol only
Group- 4 Tobacco and alcohol both
Then these groups are again sub-divided under different sub-categories,

according to their period of intake of those addictive substances.
GROUPS PERIOD OF CONSUMPTION
Gr. 2a, 3a & 4a Consume very occasionally (once in 6 months

to 1 year)
Gr. 2B, 3B, & 4B Once in Month
Gr. 2C, 3C, & 4C Every day in minimum quantity
Gr. 2D, 3D, & 4D Every day in moderate amount
Gr. 2E, 3E, & 4E Every day in huge quantity
To judge their intellect, productivity and performance, we have designed different

formats of questionnaire, duties and events. This study is based on WAIS-IV along with
their ability to physical labor. The Wechsler test is done with the help of
“wechslertest.com”.

Their performance is noted as per WAIS-IV repeatedly in a regular interval. Along

with their performance, their mental and physical parameters, like anger, concentration,
restlessness, concentration, fear, anxiety, dependency, sleep, memory, emotional state,
appetite, blood pressure, pulse rate, blood sugar e.t.c., are also our materials of record.
To judge their creative potential we have designed several creative season of
poem, music, narration, debate, drawing etc. Along with their performance and skill, the
objective of study is their evaluation of anger, anxiety and fear also, during the period of
intoxication and in their normal course of time both. Next part of study is the study of a
particular parameter of an individual subject who have become addicted day by day.

Rating Scale (AARS) and Clinical Anger Scale (CAS).
Another point of note is ‘Anxiety’. Degree of anxiety is measured according to the
‘Hammilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARC)’ and the interpretation is as follows: a score
of 17 or less indicates mild anxiety severity. A score from 18 to 24 indicates mild to
moderate anxiety severity. Lastly, a score of 25 to 30 indicates a moderate to severe
anxiety severity.

Discussion:
Addiction or better to say taking of the abusive materials must not dependent
upon the individual choice of anyone. Although as per the law, taking of abusive
materials is absolutely depended on individual choice, but strictly speaking that, this is a
fallacy and directed by cheap business purposes. Human psychology is very difficult to
understand, but not impossible. Here we have demonstrated different chronological
study result and inter-relationships, which clearly able to describe about the severity of
the abusive materials intake in acute and chronic stages. From this study, it is clear that
today’s dangerously addicted world is the well- decorated gifts of our seniors and as a
collective result gross deterioration take place in mind and body both. In Chart 16 &
chart 17 one can able to understand about the effects of substance abuse. Among the
effects of substance abuse, maximum are commonly overlooked by us as physiological
phenomena, but maximum of those are indicating features of this substance abuse. The
effects which are commonly advertized by the media, are the most fatal one and few in
number. But there are many more pathologies arises due to these substance abuse.
There are many effects of substance abuse which transforms into the next generations as
an inherited feature. Substance abuse is one of the major causes of this degraded
psycho-somatic status of nature. If one go through the aetiologies of substance abuse,
he/she can easily find some stunning information. Chart- 18 shows major causes of
substance abuse, where maximum space occupied by the cause ‘environmental’, then
‘inherited’, then ‘combat with the pressure as a trend’, then ‘as a curiosity’, then ‘copying
their style icon’.
Environmental tendency comprises of i) easily availability ii) as a statement of
freedom iii) as casual habit iv) by observing many abusers around.
Inherited is somewhere related with the role of smoking gene grossly. Inherited
habits play a duel role and give a confusing manifestation. Person, whose parents are
smoker, they shows a feature of aversion to the abusive substances at first, then they got
addicted and become habitual abusers.
Curiosity also plays an important role in the addiction. Common trend of mind
is what you oppose to perform, there is a strong affinity aroused for that job. So,
promoting the pictures of effects of substance abuse on the packets of that particular
substance and showing ‘injurious for health’ captions in the films are nothing but the
promotion of those curiosities in human mind.
So, in the conclusion we can say, substance abuse can’t be one’s choice or
depended upon freedom. One have that preedom to live their in a healthy manner, but
they does not have that right to damage themselves actively or passively.
149
Gilbert’s Syndrome and its

Homoeopathic Treatment
Gilbert’s syndrome (GS), a neglected disease of modern health science is usually

harmless, but can sometimes harm an individual seriously.
Gilbert’s syndrome is a common genetic hepatic disorder, caused by the inheritance of
an abnormal gene, i.e. UGT1A1, characterized by elevated levels of unconjugated
bilirubin in the blood stream, due to the reduced activity of the
enzyme glucuronyltransferase, responsible for the conjugation of the bilirubin and a
number of other lipophilic molecules along with several drugs also. Gilbert’s syndrome
is more common in males than females and more in stressed persons. We know that
changes in the UGT1A1 gene causes this potentially benign inherited hepatic disorder,
and that UGT1A1 provides instructions for making the bilirubin uridine
diphosphate glucuronyltransferase (Bilirubin-UGT) enzyme, found primarily
on the liver cells. The bilirubin-UGT performs a chemical reaction essential for
detoxification, called glucuronidation. During this reaction, the enzyme transfers
glucuronic acid to unconjugated bilirubin and finally that to conjugated bilirubin. The
principal actionof glucuronidation is to make substances water soluble for removal
purposes.
Gilbert’s syndrome occurs worldwide but some mutations occur more often in particular
populations. In many populations, the most common genetic change that results into GS
is known as UGT1A1*28 and occurs in the promoter region, which controls the
150
production of the bilirubin-UGT. This genetic change impairs enzyme production.

However, this change is uncommon in Asian populations and affected Asians often have
a mutation that changes a single protein building block in the bilirubin-UGT enzyme.
This type of mutation, known as the missense mutation, resulting in reduced enzymatic
function. Now come to the topic pathophysiology of GS. Uridine diphosphoglucuronate
transferase (UDPGT) is the enzyme responsible for conjugating bilirubin into bilirubin
monoglucuronide and bilirubin diglucuronide; it is therefore the rate-limiting step of
bilirubin conjugation.
This occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum of hepatocytes. There are 5 exons that
ultimately lead to production of uridine diphosphoglucuronate. Exon 1 determines
substrate specificity. Among the 13 different types of exon 1, Exon 1a encodes variable
region for UDPGT-1A1, the enzyme responsible for conjugation of bilirubin. Upstream
to exon 1a, there is a TATAA box promoter region, normal sequence of which
is A[TA]6TAA.
But the people with Gilbert’s syndrome inherit a different sequence of the promoter
region, i.e. A[TA]7TAA.
151
Other mutations have been discovered within the coding regions of the UDPGT-1A1,
leading to the Gilbert’s phenotype. There is some evidence suggesting that the patients
with UDPGT-1A1*28 may have abnormal metabolism of protease inhibitor which leads
to deficiency in the endogenous protease inhibitor, like α1- antitrypsin, which may lead
to several diseases affecting respiratory system, hepato- biliary system and gastro-
intestinal system in varying degree. There is also evidence suggesting that these
mutations provide a protective effect in the development of Hodgkin’s lymphoma and
cardio-vascular disorders.
The question arises, what are the influences of this abnormal mutation? There is no
answer found regarding this question. However, I will try to postulate the probable
influencing factors briefly. To undergo mutation, DNA needs to go through the ‘break
and repair mechanism’ influenced by several endogenous and exogenous factors. To
continue the discussion in details we should offer a snapshot about the UGT1A1 gene.
The uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase (UGT) enzymes are a superfamily of

enzymes responsible for the glucuronidation of target substances. The transfer of
glucuronic acid renders xenobiotics and other endogenous compounds water soluble,
allowing for their biliary or renal elimination. The UGT family is responsible for the
glucuronidation of many compounds, including hormones, flavonoids and
environmental mutagens. Liver is the site where most of the members of UGT family are
principally expressed, as well as in other tissues also such as intestinal, gastric or breast
tissues. One of the transcripts encoded by the UGT1A locus is UGT1A1, which is at the
furthest 3’ end of the UGT1A exon 1 region. UGT1A1 is expressed hepatically, as well as
within the colon, intestine and stomach. Main functions of UGT1A1 lies within the liver,
where it is the sole enzyme responsible for the metabolism of bilirubin, the hydrophobic
152
breakdown product of ‘haem’ catabolism. UGT1A1 alleles have also been associated with
the development of various cancers. Along with bilirubin and pharmaceuticals, UGT1A1
enzyme have been seen to glucuronidate Benzo () pyrene-trans-7, 8-dehydradiol, a
precursor to the potent carcinogen Benzo (α) pyrene-7, 8- dehydradiol- 9,10-
epoxide, found in charbroiled food, coal tar and cigarette smoke. They have also been
noted to glucuronidate oestradiol, as well as 2- amino- 1- methyl- 6- phenylimidazo (4,
5) pyrene (PhIP), another carcinogen present in cooked meat. UGT1A1 therefore
exhibits a protective effect against benzo (α) pyrene & PhIP mediated carcinogenicity
and modulates the level of oestradiol within the body.
The *28 allele has been shown to increase the risk of developing colorectal cancer and
breast cancer across multiple studies in Chinese and Asian populations. There is also
evidence suggesting that UGT1A1*28 allele may offer protection from cardio-vascular
disorders. Bilirubin is a known antioxidant and is capable of preventing plaque
formation, leading to atherosclerosis. Multiple studies have found a link between low
bilirubin concentrations and an increased risk of cardio-vascular disease, though this
association may be affected by cofounders, such as obesity or hypercholesterolaemia.
This is about UGT1A1 gene in short
For mutation, it needs to under the ‘damage and repair mechanism’ of DNA repeatedly,
so, from this point of view it is clear to us that there might be some influences, which
provoke the DNA for this damage and repair procedure, resulted into this mutation.
Now the next question is what are the influences? Purpose of this damage and repair
mechanism of DNA is to modulate themselves according to the concerned atmosphere
for the purpose of avoiding the harmful effects of those atmospheres. We can say easily
from the previous part of our discussion that the probable causes of the mutation are—
—
The ancestors of the particular patient were exposed to excessive stress, which may
results into oxidative damage to the tissues dangerously; due to which, level of
dopamine, aldosterone, cortisol and other anti- stress hormones are elevated in
considerable amount within the blood. For that reason bilirubin concentration in the
blood become elevated, as bilirubin exhibits an anti-oxidant property; or
2) the ancestors suffered from the diseases, which can be prevented by the help of this
mutation.
So, we can see from this discussion that UGT1A1*28 mutation reveals a long continued
suffering of not only a patient, rather his or ancestors also.
Now, come to the part, i.e. clinical presentation of the patients with Gilbert’s syndrome,

PRESCRIPTION
All the medicines are stopped and I asked the patient to come back after 4 months with the
previously prescribed investigations.
FINAL OUTCOME
No abnormality is detected.
Now what is the basis of selection of the simillimum? Lachesis is the diluted poison of
the snake Surukuku, which is a haemotoxin, composed of several chemicals, like
phospholipase A2, lysophospholipase, metalloprotease etc which may result in severe
haemorrhage, gastro-intestinal disturbance, urinary suppression, hepatic dysfunction
etc, but when administered in a well indicated case as a homoeopathic remedy can
establish a cure. Because when administered in a diluted form it produces those effects
which are produced by the toxin in crude state, but in less intensity and as per “Nature’s
law of cure”, the desired curative effect is established.
So, from the above discussion we can draw a conclusion very easily, i.e. although GS is a
benign condition, its mutation is not yet negligible and even this condition may result in
several fatal conditions. A perfect simillimum is able to cure such a case.

COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS
(1)
Q.1: What do you think about Life?
Life is like Escalator without handrail; if you loose time steps will move without you
and if you rushes inattentively, you may fall from the stairs into darkness. If you jump
any step without experiencing the teachings of that step, you must unable to learn the
teachings of life properly. That deficiency must results into depression, frustration and
other negative conditions in your life in recent future.
Q.2: What is the way, through which one can become a multidimensional
perfectionist and master like you within this little age?
Ans: (smile) way! Don’t know. But I can say my way of struggle, i.e. hard work based on
a strict principle, discipline, time management and dedication. For me tomorrow is
meaningless; I am continuously trying to give my maximum towards my works, because
I know, to perform our desired duty our total life is even so short. So, have to do many
works within short time period.
Q.3: Some of the people said, you are too much rude & arrogant; on the
other hand you are very down to earth for some people. What is the cause of
this changeable attitude?
Ans: Look, first of all there is nothing as changeable in my attitude, even I do not believe
in showing of attitude. I am very much strict in my ideologies and I will not going to
change the ideologies for any body or any circumstance. For that reason if they consider
me as rude & arrogant, then that I am. But I want to mingled up with everyone always.
Q.4: Even after these huge opposite forces how will you stay so tuned
continuously?
Ans: Look, if you have any expectation from any source or something to lose, then you
have to worry; otherwise no need to worry or no need to be frightened. I do not
expecting anything from anybody, so I do not have anything to lose. I just want to do my
job unconditionally and in a dedicated manner. I teach unconditionally, I love
unconditionally by knowing that I will not going to receive any love from anybody; I care
unconditionally. When one devoid of any expectation, he or she does not have anything
to lose and that is why they will not going to face any negative things from their mind.
Q.5: What are the contributing factors for today’s disharmony?
Ans: (Very directly) today’s disharmony!! This disharmony and situation is absolutely
made by ourselves intentionally with a ridiculous mentality. This is not an abrupt or
sudden procedure; this is the result of a long-continuing worthless practices and self-
centered selfish mentality.

Q.6: Do you think, government is responsible for this?

Ans: (promptly) Yes, of-course. Not only this government; every government of majority
of the countries are equally responsible for this extremely scarring situation. They can
not overlook their role.
Q.7: Do you think that Indian political system is a main cause of these
destruction?
Ans: This is not my topic of interest. So, no comments.
Q.8: Will you not think that Government is failed to maintain a uniformity
and peace?
Ans: Government! What is government? Government is nothing but that maintenance
staff who maintains a building from damage. If materials are good in themselves, no
need to depend on governments or their policies. We all are those building materials
which forms the building, named society. If we perform our responsibilities genuinely
and proved ourselves as up to the mark, government will change their policies according
to our need. They must. But it is worthless that we act as per the policies of govt. and
depend on them totally.
Q.9: What are the causes of this disharmony according to you?
This is not my point of view only; this is the fact. This fact does not bother any
acceptance or rejection; this is truth. Main causes are:
1. Faulty understanding and way of perception: Do you know, why I am saying this! We
believe those circumstances or incidences, which matches with our preconceived ideas
or past experiences, no matter those are correct or false. Most dangerous is this, there
are many things or teachings, which are either partially correct or wrong; those are
endorsed in our life willingly for cheap personalized interests from the ages.
2. Arrogance: Arrogance is the result of either half-hearted understanding and fear of
loosing ground; or to hide own faults which are done by themselves in past. That means
the second category performs faults willingly. You can easily relate with these varieties
around us very easily.
3. Ignorance: Ignorance is a major manifestation of social disease. Ignorance developed
due to either lack of knowledge about what to watch, which to react or which to not, or
intentionally to show their dignity (dignity cannot be qualified by ignorance at all) or
due to fear of being questioned on any matter etc.
4. Social practices: This is most important factor among others. Among the practices
one common is “tit for tat”. Tit for tat does not produce any positive impression except
of destruction. Next is mentality to take revenge or methods of law and
order. Punishment in terms of physical compromisation is an way of relaxation; nothing
166
more than that; punishment does not left any positive impression behind from which
anyone can take lesson. Punishment in a forceful manner, produces a tendency to do
crime in a more organized manner in recent future. Last is the Promotion of warnings
about any habit or product or practices is nothing but the promotion of harmful habits
and effects in a decorated manner. A common trend of mind is, anything you declared as
wrong mind take that topic as the topic of adventure and excitement. These promotions
are successfully creating more interest on those materials. By these mechanisms the
entire society is continuously get drowned under the dump of destruction.
5. Promotion of the negative news: Human mind is very complicated in nature. Mind
always prone towards the negative things easily. By covering negative news, we are just
giving our importance towards those for cheap business strategies. These can produce
negative and violent characters easily; because negative stories resulting into increase in
the amount of steroid hormones in the blood, as a result of which that violent character
develops. Another nature of mind is, anything using the word no or not means you are
encouraging them to do those. For that reason, avoid any negative words. Promotion of
negative news publicly has to be stopped.
6. Selfishness
7. Biasness
8. Disbelief
9. Addiction
10.Half hearted knowledge
11. Aggression
12. Lack of respect towards own self and others too.
Q.10: What to do?
Don’t depend on government or other any organization. This is the high time let us
come and do some good work without losing our valuable times by means of immaterial
and unproductive discussions. We have to take some serious steps to promote healthy
habits from the grass-root level, so that society automatically rule out noxious
phenomena from their life. We have to revert back very promptly and re-design our
attitudes positively. There is no time to waste by means of thinking of failures or by
judging others. Do it now, what you want to do.
We have to change our nature of copying. We have to search out potentialities within us
and have to work accordingly. Don’t put the loads of self made expectations upon the
next generations. Try to spend quality time with the family. This friendly environment is
capable to solve many complicated problems also.
167
Q.11. What is the secret to become a successful teacher?

Ans: Successful teacher is such a person, who inspires, motivates his students; not that
person who utter the syllabus only. Teacher must be the friend, philosopher and guide
for his students, not a robot.
We Salute him from the core of our heart.

Life Without Ideologies and

Principle leads to a Stressful
Future, Outlined by Health
Scientist
Peace
Dec 11, 2018
Modern civilization denotes up-gradation of our mode of thinking, habits, point of views
and lifestyle to a so-called perfect level. Modern thinking does not mean to abolish all
the traditional ideas, thinking and believes hastily without any valid reason or without
any reliable principle . In this modern world, health & education has become two big
challenges and the rapidly growing disease pillars capturing the entire civilization very
rapidly. The so-called modern lifestyle, i.e. arrogance, biased attitude, tendency to
compromise, dependence on junk foods, fast foods, varieties of addictions,
undisciplined lifestyle and excessive amount of stress e.t.c. are responsible for the
development of this diseased society, pointed by Dr. Sinchan Das, the youngest health
scientist of India; an ideal image of discipline, ethics & principle. Dr. Sinchan Das
outlined several dark sides in his signature lecture on the topic ‘Unemployment & Social
degradation’.
168
Among the fundamental pillars of the society ‘education’, ‘health’, and ‘employment’ are
the trio of importance; which are extremely inter-dependable on each other but
generally we are used to consider these separately. Education without perception and
transparency is absolutely baseless. Uttering bookish words only for examination
purpose and taking short cuts by the name of syllabus is nothing but the cheating with
our own-selves, we are just making our-selves fool. We are continuously indulging our-
selves under the faulty education, half-hearted knowledge and biased understanding;
which leads to an early saturation level.
Secondly, education of the modern time is directed by the demands of some unhealthy
competitions. These competitions are continuously injecting the poisons of disbelief
within our lives and as a tremendous result it is destroying the productivity of the
society. Without proper education, one cannot find a satisfactory career option, even
one can say wrong career option; which results into a higher level of stress and stress
induced pathologies.
Thirdly, Ethics & Etiquette are two important ornament of a job, but in this horribly
scientific time, we are leading a copy-paste life completely devoid of ideologies, principle
and ethics. This is a time of copying one’s style, not to create one’s own style; this is not
only a matter of joke, rather it must be a matter of worry also. It is my request to you all,
kindly do no devoid yourselves from ideologies.
He explained that, disease which thought to be an individual entity not related to the
patient’s state or lifestyle and the medical science commonly segregated in several parts
under the umbrella of different logies, this tendency or understanding is incorrect. He
had showed with evidence that diseases are the picture which was stored in our gene
since birth, whatever may be the suffering acute or chronic or whatever may be the
cause of affection. This underlying picture will be detected from the posture, gesture,
habits, physical appearance, mode of thinking, family history etc of the patient. He
showed unscientific administration of drugs in a whimsical manner, lack of proper
knowledge of the society and excessive dependence upon laboratory investigatory
procedures are three main influencing factors responsible for the development of these
mountains of sickness. Lastly he said, “Don’t copy anyone, there is nothing glorious in
copying any faulty styles to meet the social chaos. Try to make anything positively
notable in the life. That is the true heroism.”

Few Hours with the Magician

of Life
Hope
Feb 3, 2018
What is life?
“Life is a journey from an unstable condition to a stable one by the means of lesson,
experience, work and failure; life must be guided by an easily defined principle, must
not damage any element of the nature.” This answer is capable of reflecting the view
points of a person easily, but surprisingly this is the viewpoint of a 27 year’s young boy.
From the long times, we are interested to spent few hours with him, because we have
heard a lot from others, but today we have realized what is the magic within him!
170
After facing too much disastrous, distracting and life threatening impulses he is still
standing like a constant and fighting against all negative impulses desperately. He
said, “Why should we behave like pigeons by closing our eyes on seeing any undesirable
situation. It is you can say escaping from that situation consciously. Why not we that
much dedicated towards nature! Behaving like an individual entity must destroy the
entire nature in a ridiculous manner, with his weapon of diseases; for these hopeless
attitudes of other’s the entire natural community got victimized.”
He is not other than Dr. Sinchan Das, Dr. Gorachand Mukherjee describe him as:
Yes he is the combination of all these qualities but on the other hand he is the
combination of Boldness, Fearlessness, Purity, Inventive mentality, Sacrifice, Love,
Down to earth nature, Versatility and many more.
171
Why we addressed him as a magician? Because he carries a magic of peace and love with
him as his presence and attitude. He behaves like a family member with all classes of
people easily. We salute him for his all which he posses.
Even after these much effort when you see your family and friends are not obeying these
theories and killing their lives, how will you feel?He said, “Firstly, I have not that much
friends to share anything, they are limited in number. Yes it is very painful, because I
am working for those who have no respect towards their lives and environment. But
still I will continue my effort and it is my faith on them, they also obey this path in near
future.”

Positive Attitude Does Not

Require Any Promotion or
Support, An Inspiring Story
Peace
Jun 11, 2018
Positive attitude does not require any promotion or support; there are few persons
existed in our loving world who made the world lovable with their own glaze and
independent services. If we search around us very deeply, may be we can detect several
stories of positivity hidden under cheapness; just like diamonds, found in the coal-mine
and very clearly saying those stories are million times more interesting and glorious than
any fictional stories. In this article, I am trying to assemble few incidences of a rarest gem
of the cultural heritage of this world, India; he is popular enough for his revolutionary
inventions, profound knowledge, bold personality and heart-melting music; Dr. Sinchan
Das.
In an evening of Autumn, I was passing through a busy street of Kolkata after completing
my lecture in University of Calcutta with some students and colleagues to enjoy a casual
172
walk in this heritage city. In front of Bethune college, I noticed a young boy wearing red
and yellow check shirt and black trouser treating a lady with very foul-smelling gangrene
alone.
Next day morning in my camera that poor lady.
I am just become stunt by observing his dedication. Without interrupting him I asked a
person selling ‘Phuchka (a famous snack in Kolkata) nearby; he told that the boy serving
there is a medical student of a Homoeopathic college at Narkeldanga and those homeless
people called him as ‘bachca dakhtar’ (little doctor). I have surprised more by observing
his caring attitude and neatness of the work and got inspired also. After returning from
India I also started a free service centre for needy people. My that inspiring idol met me
after 6 years in Kolkata again, because of a seminar. That medical student is now turn
into a bold health scientist, commonly known as ‘the storm of truth’.
After long time, Late Dr. Robert Brown, my friend told me about this person again. He
told me, “William, do you know this boy (by showing him photograph)? He is Dr.
Sinchan Das, a wonder champ you know! What a diversity! You must follow him and if
possible guides him as well. He posses lots of potential and blessing of god.”But due to
lots of changes in Sinchan’s face I took some time to recognize him and then told him my
experience regarding Sinchan with Robert. From this time, I have started my
investigation to know him completely. From this time, I have followed his maximum
lectures, papers, performances to know his diversity and depth. Everytime I got surprised
and wondered.
Biresh Roy, a social worker from Kolkata said, “Dr. Sinchan Das is the ‘idol of
humanity’, he bought many drug addicted patients to us for treatment and also served
for needy persons as well. He becomes just like a relative to every patients. Not only the
treatment, he provides food for the needy also.”
173
Now, it is the time to know about Indian Classical Vocalist Sinchan.
On the occasion of ’Yamuna Day’ in front of ‘Tajmahal’ he started his performance

with Raag- Chanchalsas Malhar in an extreme hot afternoon. In the middle of his
performance, suddenly heavy rain started, but peoples are still enjoying his performance.
This truly defines his magnetic and mesmerizing rendition. This incidence also provides
a life time experience to all of us about the power of Indian Classical Music and Indian
Classical Raaga also.
We all know that, Indian culture is one of the rich ancient cultures of the world.
Treasury of Indian culture is totally filled with different rare and precious gems within its
cover. The gems are Indian culture are not only the elements of nature, rather better to
say, Indian culture is more than a culture. This person opened up a new path in the
history of Indian classical music by introducing a new style of ‘taankari (Instrumental
style taan in vocal) because with his hand Indian classical music reached within the
territory of common people also. He has performed ICM in open stages in non-
conventional way. He implicated his tune for the treatment purpose also.
In the International Festival for Preservation of Culture at London, he performed Raag-

Dharmavati and Raag- Barhams Sarang. Recording of these performances was applied
on different diseased person and different species other than human also. This
experiment shows a remarkable and wondering result. Dr. Das demonstrated a clear
guideline about the therapeutic presentation of Indian raagas in his different
performances. He is popular for his unique gayaki, Tantrikari and performance of rare
raagas. Indian musicologist Prof. Ramachandran said, “Gayaki of Dr. Sinchan creates an
ambience of divinity, as if ‘amrita’ sprinkles over us.”
Finally, few words for the scientist Dr. Sinchan. Dr. Sinchan Das commonly addressed as
‘moving library’ because of his depth of profound knowledge in different sectors
simultaneously. He posses a god-gifted quality to simplify any complex phenomena and
made that understandable for everyone. For this reason, he becomes a good teacher also.
Like his performance, he also posses quality to magnetize the mass with his lecture. He
explained different complex phenomena very clearly and smashed different myths and
taboos abruptly. He raised his voice against different malpractices, habits, and trends;
which turned him as an enemy of different personals. For this reason he faced different
attacks and threats from different authorities.

Life is Beyond Numbers &

Boundaries
Peace
Apr 18
Time & Number two so-called unavoidable parameters capable of governing &
controlling of our life, but some persons proved that life is actually beyond time &
number. Today we are here for a person who hooked all the obstacles regularly, who
proved age is just a number & who is the icon of will-power. Every teaching of him is life-
changing for many people. He is not other than the icon of humanity Dr. Sinchan Das.
Consistently Persistent & Persistently Consistent” suits this person absolutely.
Even after achieving many untouchable peaks he is still flows like a soothing breeze of
heaven, with fire stored in his heart and dream in his eyes to make a healthy,
knowledgeable, friendly and peaceful world. To understand his ideologies and also the
person as well we met him and feels blessed. He is the mine of knowledge, the moving
library; but devoid of any worthless rudeness or attitudes.
1.Put some light On the issues of Educational degradation &

Unemployment:
Among the fundamental pillars of the society ‘education’, ‘health’, and ‘employment’ are
the trio of importance; which are extremely inter-dependable on each other but
generally we are used to consider these separately. Education without perception and
transparency is absolutely baseless & worthless. Uttering bookish words only for
examination purpose and taking short cuts by the name of so-called syllabus is nothing
but the cheating with our own-selves, we are just making our-selves fool. We are
continuously indulging our-selves under this faulty education, half-hearted knowledge
and biased understanding; which leads to an early saturation level.
Secondly, education of the modern time is directed by the demands of some unhealthy
competitions. These competitions are continuously injecting the poisons of disbelief
within our lives and as a tremendous result it is destroying the productivity of the society.
175
Without proper education, one cannot find a satisfactory career option, even he or she
may compel to choose a wrong career option; which results into a higher level of stress
and stress induced pathologies.
Thirdly, Ethics & Etiquette are two important ornament of a job & life also, but in this
horribly scientific time, we are leading a copy-paste life completely devoid of ideologies,
principle and ethics. This is a time of copying one’s style, not to create one’s own style;
this is not only a matter of joke, rather it must be a matter of worry also.
2. What is your opinion regarding religious margination of educational

system?
Firstly, I must say religion is nothing but a philosophy for existence; that is why no
religion as per their teachings does not follow the path of margination & segregation.
Margination is the result of some marginated mentalities. Secondly, for me religion is the
name of a discipline & ideology; so, I think religious influence in educational system is
not a wrong job. But it should be kept in mind that, every religious ideology is of equal
importance & requires same standards of consideration.
3. As we all know you are one of the faculties of Ramakrishna mission Seva
Pratisthan Kolkata. What is your experience in Ramakrishna Mission Seva
Pratisthan as a teacher?
First of all I am not a current faculty of RKMSP, rather better to say I was. Nextly, a
horrible experience. Before joining this institution I heard little about the dirty politics of
the mission, but I have scared by observing this huge magnitude. It is a horrible
experience.
4. At the beginning of my career, I heard there are lots of inhuman practices

prevailed within the territory of monks. Is it true?
Yes, absolutely true. A considerable number of people, who called themselves as monk,
just because of that saffron clothing; are of a horrible character. They does not have a
basic humanity within them. A discouraging atmosphere ruined the future of students &
a stressful oily wind is flowing through evry corners of the institution. Some of the
‘sanyasis’ here too much proud with their position, the basic violence of sanyas.
5. Why are you explaining the experience as horrible?
1. A graduation course (Paramedical) posses practically 4–5 hours in a week.
176
2. UG students are not even allowed to think, ask or explore anything out of their
kindergarten syllabus.
3. UG students are forced to work in wards, mainly the scheduled works of Sahayikas
(dusting, moping, cleaning, clothing e.t.c.)
4. 1st year students are allotted for night shifts, who does not have basic medical
knowledge still that time.
5. Quality of education is scarring.
6. A medical institution is headed by a monk who is a non-medical person, devoid of

basic civic sense, very used to use slangs towards the students, believed in religious
margination.
7. An institution where doctors outside of institution declared as fools. Can you imagine
an authority told a student seeking for leave for the last works whose father died just
before some days, “what can I do if your father died.” Next, “I have nothing to to do with
your illness, if you are seriously ill, come in emergency, I will take the decision about
your seriousness of disease by observing you; even if you died, say your family to submit
your body to the hospital.”
What is the purpose of life? “Life is a journey of energy to reach a stable condition
from an unstable one by the means of different phenomenon and stages within this
journey what we called as childhood, adulthood, old-age etc. During this journey,
varieties of lucrative, beneficial and interesting materials offered by the nature to reach
that stable condition.”
Do you believe in re-birth? “Belief! What is the meaning of this word? Until and
unless you have experienced anything either by means of learning, listening or facing
some incidents as per your capacity, you are unable to get faith on that particular
matter; so, belief is a vague term. Natural phenomena occurs without bothering
anyone’s belief.”
Ok, so what is your opinion regarding re-birth? “Oh yes, I have already told you
about the life. This entire environment is nothing but the ocean of energy, where
energies are transformed from one form to another to achieve more simpler and non-
reactive state. Birth process and the life both are the results of this never-ending
phenomenon, so re-birth is obviously possible and it is nothing but a natural
phenomenon.”
Then what is ‘Mukti’? “(Smile) sir, I am not a philosopher! How should I know?”
177
No sir, please give your opinion! “‘Mukti’ is that non-reactive and stable form of
energy which does not have any need to react any more. But, I think mukti is a
temporary state, because nothing is constant in this universe.”
We have go through a theory of yours,i.e. “Thought induced

pathology”;what it is? “What we have seen, listen or experience those are stored
within our memory in an unique unidentifiable way; those are carried with our life to
next and next generations. So, thought or mode of thinking can be guided by genetic
history, again thought can reconfigure genetic traits also. I had demonstrated in my
presentation in those days how ‘faulty understandings’ and ‘defective thoughts’ are
important contributing factors in the formation of disease. The scenario is like
this: Faulty experience — — — faulty understandings — — — faulty thought — —
-faulty perception — — — defective adaptations — — — — defective reactions of
the body and mind — — — defective social reactions — — — a pathological
subject leads to a sum of pathological subjects — — — — gross deterioration
of the nature.”
Why are you serving for the nature without any gain, in this extreme
dedicated way? “Who said without gain! I am selfish and greedy enough, why should
I serve without any gain!”
You are Selfish!! What are you saying? “Yes, obviously I am selfish and greedy
enough. Who is not selfish? I am greedy to see people’s smile, I am greedy to save life, I
am greedy to see the smiling face of a sufferer, I am greedy to say the bright eyes of a
satisfied stomach while taking food after long hunger, Yes I am greedy to experience
the blessings of a healthy nature, I am greedy to feel the smiles of animals, plants and
other creatures, I am greedy to experience the blessings of peaceful and knowledgeable
world. But I am not greedy towards expensive lifestyle or materialistic entities. I do not
want that amount of money for misuse, just needed those to help others.”
What is your opinion regarding traditional degradation and modernization

of concepts? “What are you meant by the word ‘modernization’? Modernization does
not mean to abolish all traditional concepts and cultures without understanding them
in an one sided manner. Modernization of the concepts mean to understand traditional
ideologies under the light of advanced thought and discussions. This traditional
degradation is seriously a matter of worry. More of all, without accepting the positive
effects of modern ideologies society becomes prone towards its negative and injurious
effects, like ‘arrogance’, ‘indiscipline’, ‘disbelief’ , ‘addiction’ and so on. Before passing
our opinions we better to understand traditional ideologies clearly.”
What is your opinion regarding these excessively growing and uncontrolled

disease scenario? “These disease pillars are gift of this modern time, where we
analyze things by taking a side prior to knowing that and obviously passes comments
178
aggressively to prove our ideologies without having minimum respect to others who
defend, without hearing his or her points. Day by day you can notice that the world is
getting submerged under addiction of different things. Taking of different addictive
material knowingly or unknowingly for one time or more is directly proportional to
mental and physical degradation which is directly proportional to economic
degradation of an individual which is directly proportional to the compromised
productivity of an individual which is directly proportional to the deficient productivity
of a country followed by world. To enjoy primary nervous relaxing or stimulating
effects we are sacrificing the gross interest willingly.”
What will be your message towards your followers and admirers?
“I just want to give thanks to them; but want to say no need to follow me or no need to
admire me. If you truly loves me, then follow the ideologies of mine and please come in
front to fulfill our goal. There is nothing to be called as tomorrow, what you want to do
do it right now and obviously perform the duties without any expectation.” “Mind it,
those persons who are trying dominate you by shouting or miss-behaving, are coward
and unable to face you. Those who are making fool others; not others they are just
making themselves fool. So, ignore them.” “Don’t indulge yourself in unhealthy
competition, purpose of everyone’s existence is pre-fixed, so don’t compromise the
quality of work by depriving your potentiality.”

Dr. Sinchan Das, Story of Deprivation,

Struggle, Strength & Success.
Abdul Kalam Fan Club
Although in today’s time, there is no introduction needed for this personality of Indian
classical music and Health science, Dr. Sinchan Das; but the journey was not smooth &
easier. Dr. Sinchan Das is the person who scientifically demonstrated ‘Mechanism of
Action of Homoeopathic Medicines’ for the very first time & that paper got published in
one of the leading journal IJAR. He is the person who came out and announced an
active protest against many prevailing stigmas of the society. St. Clare Health Mission
felicitate Dr. Das by saying “Sinchan is the rare combination rare positive qualities, as
‘S’- Strength ‘I’- Intelligence & Integrity ‘N’- Nobility ‘C’- Confidence ‘H’- Humanitarian
soul ‘A’- Everlasting Ambition & ‘N’- Never ending positivity”. In one hand Dr. Das is a
Researcher, Teacher, Physician & on the other hand an artist of Indian Classical Music
and art; these are a simultaneously running tasks of him along with many other tasks.
Some people consider him as ‘endangered personality’. From the ancient times, India
stands for the mother of medicine, science , culture & humanity. There was a quote
regarding India, i.e. “What India thinks today world thinks tomorrow”; but now the
scenario reverse. In the modern time, we are afraid to welcome positive changes without
considering its market value, we are afraid to take risks and revolutionary steps. We feel
more comfortable to swim on the way of storm of river, which stacked ourselves within
the negativities. A famous Indian patriotic poet D.L.Roy said that he is sure that his
country will gain its number one position again. And now in these days, this young boy
is that particular person on whose hands India can give her flambeau.
Thought Behind Researches :

During the time of studying B.H.M.S. (Bachelor in Homoeopathic Medicine & Surgery)
his thought is provoked by his professors and he feels keen interest in order to
investigate the pathogenesis of the Homoeopathic medicines. In this subject, his first
paper was ‘Mechanism of Action of Psorinum, a Homoeopathic Medicine’, After this, he
indulged more deeper into the study. At the time of his P.G. (Hom), from London he
becomes the first Indian who become World Health Science Championship Champion &
Health Science Olympiad Champion. During the time of this research, he observed there
are many misconceptions, myths and disgraceful practices prevailed in the society;
which are the principal contributing factors of this entire social degradation. He has
pointed out the main contributing factors of entire degradation and deterioration as,
1. Arrogance
2. Ignorance
180
3. Anger
4. Faulty perception
5. Hypersensitivity about individualistic freedom
6. Half-hearted knowledge
7. Lack of integrity
8. Disbelief
9. Excessive competitive mentality
10. Tendency to copying
11. Jealousy
12. Addiction
13. Dependence on negativity
14. Tendency to take short-cuts
15. Whimsical administration of drugs
16. Misleading thoughts
17. Disrespect to own self, own culture e.t.c.
By considering these, he started to study thoroughly about the fundamental deranging

factors and his works got published in different international peer-reviewed journals.
The publications are:
1. Diabetes Mellitus & its Homoeopathic Treatment
2. Alzheimer’s Disease & Its Homoeopathic treatment
3. Stress induced Cancer
4. Arsenic Induced Cardiomyopathy
5. Alcoholism & Homoeopathy
6. Role of Colours on Human Life
7. Mechanism of Action of Psorinum
8. Gilbert’s Syndrome & Homoeopathy
9. Thought & Disease
10. Drugs are for Treatment not for Addiction
11. Mechanism of Action of Homoeopathic Medicine
12. Tobacco, Alcohol the Social Threats
13. Mind & Music
14. Effect of Darbari Kanada on Depression
15. Rare Indian Raagas & few others.
For these highly acclaimed research works, he faced many threats, insults, sabotages
and negligence from different authorities. He faced a huge amount of whispering and
negative approaches from different people of the society. He said, “Until and unless we
come forward and correct ourselves, the narrow minded bloodletting practices prevailed
in the society ruined ourselves & our future. The entire system is directing us in an
extremely wrong direction, which submerged the future under depression, jealousy,
blood-thirsty atmosphere, addiction, suicidal tendencies, aggression more and more;
the scenario already started.”
He is now working with the ‘Thought & Disease’ and ‘Psychology behind Sexuality’.
Dr. Sinchan Das in eyes of his students:
181
“Teacher is such a person who not only teach the subjects, rather who can influence the
students to think independently and who becomes their friend, philosopher guardian
and idol.”- this statement suits him mostly. His one of the student said that, according
to them Dr. Sinchan is an answer machine and mine of knowledge; you can find
anything from him. Dr. Das encouraged them by saying “Try to become a library in a
subject or more”. He encouraged his students by organizing different seminars,
discussions, quiz contests, peripheral camps and demo teaching sessions e.t.c. Other one
said, “his class is most demanded class of the week, especially his practical classes. The
way he talks with his patients, analyze them are really exceptional and remarkable.”
Dr. Sinchan as a Physician:
Dr. Sinchan Das, a doctor with very kind heart. He served for the people of this nation
without any policies and business strategies. He is providing medical service to the
villages of west Bengal voluntarily and try to share their feelings like a friend and well-
wisher.
Dr. Sinchan Das as a Vocalist:
He is among those few people, who are the master of rare raagas of Indian treasury. His
mellifluous ‘barhat’ and ‘vistaar’ are capable of establishing a true living picture of the
raaga. His extremely magnetic rendition of raagas, charming ‘taantrikari’ and a god-
gifted voice are capable of mesmerize the entire audience and to pour the essence of
purity and light of positivity within the mass. He applied these tunes on different
diseased condition of humans and animals which gives stunning results. Dr. Das had
started his musical journey t the age of 3 years under the guidance of his mother Dr.
Susmita Das, then at the age of 5 years he came to the Kaushik Bhattacharya to take
taalim in the Indian Classical music for a span of 9 years then had come under the
valuable guidance of vocal maestro Pt. Samaresh Chawdhury for intensive taalim and
that journey is still continuing. Along with this taalim he feel interested in another
classical instrument Sarode under the maestro of Maihar Gharana Pt. Kamal Mallick &
this lesson of Pt. Mallick had changed his style of performance as a whole. He feel
courage to popularize the glorious Indian Classical Music among the mass, which was
confound within the so called class people and aristocrat people previously. He
introduced an instrumental style ‘Taantrikari’ which welcomed by the audience warmly
and created a new era in Indian Classical Music.
Rare Raagas he Performed:

1. Raag- Dharmavati
2. Raag- Pushpa

Music Is More Than Music &

Master Of Rare Raagas
Dr. Barun Kulkarni
a year ago
Among the ancient civilizations, rich in education, culture and natural resources India
is a principal one. From the ancient times, India proved herself as a torch-bearer in the
field of Science, Medicine, Education, Philosophy, Culture and Art. India is the land,
glorified with foundation of science, by means of discovery of ‘0(zero)’ with the
hand of great Indian mathematician-astronomer Aryabhatta.

Indian astronomer
Not only this, India is the sacred mother of enumerable maestros of different fields.
Among different art forms and cultures, traditional Indian music is a rich one, having
multi-spectral varieties and immense depth. Indian classical music is the richest form
among the forms of world music, because of its divine philosophy, mode of
development, variable dimensions and depth. Calculation of ‘swars‘ and their
evolution is really wondering. The Indian classical treasury is totally filled with
varieties of gems with varieties of quality and significance. Among the gems
(‘Raagas’) of Indian classical treasury, only few are properly understood and
184
generally performed by the artists of different ‘gharanas’; rests are still lies under the
darkness of ignorance.
Music is not merely a subject of entertainment, rather better to say it is a direct

connection between our soul and the universe. In this perspective, Indian raagas are
more scientifically associated with the universe. The performers of Indian music are
generally considered themselves as only performers and they got satisfied with their
‘Gurumukhi vidya’. But this field requires extensive study and researches. Among
few scientists who are working with this field, India’s youngest health scientist Dr.
Sinchan Das showed some very wondering information with practical implications in
different performances. He said, “Indian raagas have different effects on our material
as well as our spiritual body. ‘Samaveda’ is concerned with the old oral musical
traditions of India. It is quite natural that the Upanishads derived from the Samaveda
contain many references to musical terms. When there are two objects, and there is
pressure or tension created between them, we got sound. The sound when unpleasant
is noise. Basically, this is an ocean of energy, better to say ocean of magnetic energy
where we all live. We are nothing but the tiniest part of that energy only; that stable
energy field is called ‘Aadi’, no duality exists. In the long long long run, due to some
vibratory turmoil in the energy field the field become unstable and to stabilize that
instability the entire energy-mass conversion take place. From this point, music has
an extensive role on the nature. According to Hindu mythology, there is the concept of
‘nirakar brahma’. When it starts to vibrate, there is creation of ‘Naadbrahma’ or
‘Anahata naad’.”
185
In his paper, he has demonstrated how colour affects our life and interrelationship
between ‘Colour and Sound’. He described the octaves so nicely as, “The waves of
vibrations from a moving source are slow or mandra when it moves away, fast and
near to the ear, it called Tara/uchya/ high. Although, we perceive colour and sound as
two different entities, but basically those are two surfaces of one coin. The sound is
the subtle form of electro-magnetic waves, also carries varnya or colour.
Nadabrahma is the sound of space(Sunya) and that sunya is represented with dark
black. So, it is immaterial to consider different phenomena separately and
materialistically.”
Indian classical music is a divine form of performing arts and also an asset of entire
Indian audience; but this music requires devotion, dedication and honesty, must not be
nakedly commercialize. But due to lack of proper extensive study, Indian music goes
far away from the common people; rather better to say they are deprived to feel the
divine taste of traditional classical music. After long times with the hand of
Dr. Sinchan Das, Indian classical music got the gate-pass to take entry within the
domain of interest of the common mass. Not only the classical music, rather he is the
master of rare raagas; who performed rare raagas of Indian classical music like Raag-
Pushpa, Raag- Mayuri, Raag- Sudh Malhar, Raag- Chanchal rasa Malhar
(Chanchalsas), Raag- Barhams sarang, Raag- Mayur Todi, Raag- Rasamanjari and
many other and engrafted the essence of those raagas within the heart of audience
successfully.
He is the founder of a new era in the history of Indian classical music, where all the
age-groups are strongly attracted towards his music. He has demonstrated publicly
that, Indian classical have that potential to correct disharmonies in human and even
animals also. His magnetic voice and performance in capable of pouring life force
within a traumatized patient also. Indian classical music is our pride, our asset.

Say No To Substance Abuse To

Lead A Healthy Life
Dr. Barun Kulkarni in Health and Life, Latest, Society
10 months ago
According to Events High, “the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit
Trafficking is a United Nations initiative to raise awareness among the masses
against drug abuse and illegal drug trade. It has been held annually since 1988 on
June 26, a date chosen to commemorate Lin Zexu’s dismantling of the opium trade in
Humen, Guangdong, just before the First Opium War in China. The observance was
instituted by the General Assembly to observe 26 June as an expression of its
determination to strengthen action and cooperation to achieve the goal of an
international society free of drug abuse.”
The chief objective of celebrating this day is to make an ‘addiction-free’ world. Not
just drugs, but all other abusive materials (tobacco, alcohol, weed, cannabis, opium
e.t.c.) come under this list. This year, the theme for this day was “Listen First”. It is an
initiative to prevent the usage of drugs and make an effective investment for the well-
being of children, youth, families, and communities. This theme highlights that
“Listening to children and youth is the first step to support and help them, so that they
grow safe and healthy”. For this occasion, the Narcotics Control Bureau arranged an
inter-disciplinary seminar, workshop and discussion with different authorities.
The ceremony was inaugurated by Dr Jayesh Jain, a well-known social activist. In his
opening speech, he mentioned the various kinds of abusive materials. He
said, “People may have thought that June 26 is dedicated to stop only drug-related
malpractice, abuse or addiction. But actually, it is dedicated to stop the usage of all
abusive materials. It can’t be a choice, rather it is a disease. Tobacco, alcohol, LSD,
addictive glues, psycho-stimulant drugs, cannabis – all come under this
umbrella.” He emphasised on government policies, awareness campaigns and social
education.
After his inaugural speech, NCB arranged a slideshow revealing the different bad
effects of narcotics. After the presentation, the ceremony was ended by India’s
youngest health scientist, Dr Sinchan Das.
187
Dr Sinchan Das is a well-known crusader against addiction or the use of abusive

materials. He is also known for his bold personality and unique ways of explaining.
He said, “When people aren’t born with a free will, and are unable to live of their
own volition, how can they have the authority to damage themselves?”
In my opinion, this is very true. We cannot perform anything in the absence of

nature’s will. Otherwise, we just pamper ourselves into enjoying virtual happiness. Dr
Das said, “Taking abusive materials is not a style or choice. Rather, one can say it is
a disease and the failure of a person to cope up with their daily lives. And failure
can’t be a style statement.” Individual choice does not give a person the leeway to
damage themselves acutely or in a chronic manner. Individual freedom only gives us
the chance to live in a healthy manner and perform something good for the
environment.
Dr Das also demonstrated how our minutest habits and unnoticed self-pampered
‘disharmonies’ become more and more complicated by the day in a
chronological manner. ‘The age for taking abusive materials’, ‘the age for becoming
diseased’, ‘the psychological condition of the current generation’ – these are all
byproducts of the habits of people from previous generations. Nothing is abrupt or
short-lasting – every phenomenon leaves an impression and creates a template for the
‘status’ and ‘condition’ of future generations.
The purpose of this day is not just to spread awareness against abusive materials, but
also to make people aware about the whimsical drug administration in many
countries. Drugs are used to save lives in critical conditions, and they should not be
used to meet business demands. A large number of diseases prevailing in the society
are artificially-caused or due to drug-induced pathologies.
Compared to Dr Jayesh, Dr Das has a different view of the whole problem. He does
not believe that awareness campaigns and government strategies can help tackle the
issue of abusive materials and addiction. According to him, “The promotion of the
harmful effects of abusive substances on the packets and via advertisements is nothing
but an effort to portray these habits in a more lucrative manner. This compels humans
to be more interested with that particular matter. So, instead of promoting these
habits for cheap business interests, it is better to get rid of them altogether.”
Finally, he said, “Please remove stigmas about individual freedom and greediness.
Try to maintain close relations with your child. Get rid of the bad habits in your life –
and it will automatically have a positive effect in the life of your children. Say no to
abusive substances, and ban them, to live a healthy life.”

Why We Must Forget Individual

Greed To Protect The
Environment
Dr. Barun Kulkarni in Latest
a year ago
World Environment Day is celebrated to combat activities that threaten and harm the
environment so that we can control environmental degradation and natural destruction
by any means. On this occasion, young health scientist Dr. Sinchan Das has shown a
light of hope and identified several unnoticed or overlooked factors, which may play
an important role in preventing environmental degradation and destruction.
Image source: File of World News

We generally focus on macroscopical and gross degrading agents, like cutting of trees,
plastic pollution, different polluting gases, medi-waste and many others; but we
189
overlook those factors that are contributing factors behind these macroscopic
damages. To control environmental destruction, we have to behave more wisely;
biased strategies under the influence of narrow business policies will not show any
positive results. Our dimension of interest must be free from any bias and narrow
boundaries. We have to think beyond all the boundaries and obviously from the top to
bottom. Dr Das says, “If we have to survive or live in this nature, we have to preserve
her. Otherwise, nature will remove us as a diseased part. We cannot ignore the
interrelationship between natural phenomena, our mind and body. Even to balance
environmental imbalance there lies a major role of population control. As consumers
consume to satiate their needs, and for that, every person is willing to expend a price
for the object which relates to the utility one extracts from it, we as consumers are
driven in this world to trade, to live our lives the best way we can. But for that
purpose, we misuse natural resources and design several products that create
damage.”
“Nature is balanced, where all the elements (living and non-living) live harmoniously
under a strict principle.”There is no segregation among natural elements for nature.
We, humans, are responsible for every classification and segregation, which are
entirely faulty and worthless. We talk about the human society very frequently, we
have designed several rules and regulations in the society by depriving other elements
of nature. We have a lucrative name to our blunders, like cutting trees for
the establishment of high-rise buildings, killing animals for food habits and for
business purposes (leather goods, different household products made with animal
parts) e.t.c. In this manner, we are destroying the entire ecosystem and natural balance
continuously. By damaging these and adapting different faulty habits, we are still
designing more and more practices which lead to gross damage. Damages are not
confined within the domain of materialistic world. Remember this, there is nothing as
individual in this society, every single deviation of any natural component must
contribute a considerable amount of disturbance in the environment, a collection of all
may cause a gross irreversible damage in the greater energy field of this environment.
Dr Sinchan designed some criteria to make a healthy environment, like
1. Change your thoughts from the hyper-individualistic prospect to the

social prospect.
2. Stop violence by any means and erase every negative word from your
dictionary.
3. Try to care for all the natural components, because all are equally
important for the maintenance of social equilibrium.
4. Plant more and more trees, especially an industrial area or a vat must be
surrounded by bi-layer or tri-layer of big trees; every housing complex
must constitute greenery within them; every street must be lined with a
190
series of trees along the sides; every school, college and other
institutions must possess greenery.
5. Try to introduce more comfortable, environment friendly public
vehicles, which result in less fluid consumption, less pollution, less
unnecessary expenditure.
6. Boycott any kind of addictive substances from your habits. There is
nothing as momentary, each minutest deviation leaves an impression,
most of which are transmitted generation after generation with more
complexity and harm.
7. Try to manage medi-wastes and other wastes in an environment free
manner. To control one step we are continuously adapting other many
wrong steps and trying to hide those in a very cheap manner.
8. Avoid any type of amusements, which may harm nature by any means.
It must be kept in our mind that humans are just a minute part of this nature like other
plants, animals, birds etc. So, to satisfy our superiority complex, manipulating nature
is a worthless and dangerous practice. Be healthy, live healthy and make healthy.

This Doctor Has Answers To All

Your Questions On Living A
Healthy, Stress-Free Life
Dr. Barun Kulkarni in Health and Life, Inspiration
a year ago
“Prevention is better than cure.”
Is life only about survival, or is there something to it? Is there any space for social
responsibility or social productivity? Is there any practical utility for a healthy life and
healthy atmosphere? What will be the fate of this extremely unstable situation? Why
is the entire society going through a phase of disharmony and destruction?
These are the billion dollar questions in the current era. Not only are these questions,
these are also issues we should be worried about. From ancient times, we have
adopted several harmful and ‘diseased’ practices – knowingly or unknowingly.
Perhaps, it would be better to say that we ‘endorsed’ several faulty practices in our
lives indirectly. This scenario still stays the same today.
In this extremely troublesome period, a young health scientist, Dr. Sinchan Das, has
come forward like a torch-bearer. He has smashed many unhealthy practices like a
storm.
192

According to him, “Instead of wasting our time by constructing vague strategies and
faulty health education policies, we have to direct our actions towards the
fundamentals of health education and prevention of disease by correcting our daily
activities.” Eventually, this can also result in a decline in the gross expenditure in the
health sector, as well as in the healthcare delivery system.
Indeed, this is the ideal time for us to revert back and save our beloved nature – and
thereby, also save life on earth. Dr. Sinchan explains how the so-called negligible but
negative factors influence a lot of things in our life. It is these faults that eventually
result in a mountain of suffering.
Whatever may be the name of the disease, all of them are basically a combination of
some common disharmonies or pathologies. Painfully said, the aetiological factors are
adopted by ourselves insidiously. So, one can say, in a certain way, we kill ourselves.
193
He further states that contrary to what we may believe, we aren’t leading fast or
competitive lives. Instead, we are leading aimless and unhealthy lives. This causes a
mismatch between expectation and achievement, which creates feelings of
dissatisfaction, irritation, anger and more. This entire mess, in turn, leads to stress,
which is probably the most threatening of these illnesses.
To manage this monster called stress, we have to reconstruct our ideologies in a pure
and unbiased fashion. Let us make a vital promise to ourselves – “We must think
healthy, behave healthy, live healthy and make healthy.”
Natural phenomena generally exhibit the rule and cycle of attraction and repulsion.
Similarly, we too go through several incidents and phases based on this principle.So,
it is quite obvious that if we are suffering a lot currently, it’s possible that we’ll
recover and become healthy in the near future. So, don’t feel hopeless and always
perform to your maximum potential without any expectation. Because if your
achievement does not match with your expectation, then that can harm your
performance. You may have to compromise with the quality, which is not desirable at
all.
Some of the other basic duties he outlined are: “Try to live in a holistic
manner”, “Try to love everybody unconditionally”, “Exclude all harmful things from
your list of choices, whatever be their nature, duration or quantity”.
He signed off saying, “Nothing can be considered negligible. All things, even
thoughts, have important roles they fulfill in nature.”

Take Some Positive

Resolutions In This Children’s
Day.
Dr. Barun Kulkarni
5 months ago
Children’s Day is celebrated across the world on different days to honour children
globally. In India, it is celebrated on November 14, the birthday of Pandit Jawaharlal
Nehru. This celebration is not just a special day for children, rather this day must be
the day to take some resolutions for the betterment of children. Children are the
building blocks of our future society, so their perfect nourishment and development
are very important for the future of a country. In this modern and so-called scientific
times, due to our hyper-complexed and biased lifestyle entire scenario of development
of society becomes grossly disturbed and distracted from the ideal path; which results
into a state of gross disharmony, i.e. a diseased world. The entire society is driven by
direct or indirect business policies, which surely are not beneficial all the time. There
are a very few people today who are working for the betterment of the society by
swimming against the flow of usual circumstances, without considering individual
interest. Among them India’s youngest health scientist Dr. Sinchan Das & Dr.
William Benzaminn are the two notable names.
195
Dr. Sinchan Das

On the auspicious occasion of Children’s day, ‘The Friend’s Association’ of Kolkata
organised a discussion with Dr. Sinchan Das & Prof. Dipak Chawdhury. In this
ceremony, Dr. Sinchan spoke about the several dark sides of the society and how
children often grow in a disturbed environment. Dr. Sinchan Das said, ‘Children are
like soil loam, careful usage of which can make an idol; but rough usage or
mishandling may destroy the loam; most dangerously we are doing this damage.”
Prof. Chawdhury said, “Damage is not always accompanied by the means of gross
artificial damage or macroscopical damage, it may be subconscious damage also,
where ignorantly damaged by few practices very popular they are in nature.”
Although India is the richest country from the educational, cultural and natural point
of view, but the glorious past is continuously looses its originality due to some biased
trend of copying. Children are the building blocks of a society and youth is the
backbone; but due to a dangerous unhealthy competitive mentality and tendency of
copying of some hilarious culture compels to neglect and ignore our original
traditional culture, the uniqueness and the glory of the country got compromised. This
mentality and practice leads to this unemployment issues. When the basic educational
system has become unscientific and devoid of their unique style, the specialty of the
196
country must be destroyed. The modern style of living has ruined the healthy
development of a child & the originality which he or she inherited spontaneously. As
a result, children are suffering from serious psychological and physical pathological
conditions shockingly. In the development of a child, there are few tasks performed by
the parents, may be not grouped under macroscopical damaging influence, but having
serious latent effects in the future; like interpersonal unhealthy relationships,
insulting behaviours, substance abuse, interpersonal distance between family
members, cruelty e.t.c. & many more, said Prof. Chawdhury.
Another point is ‘the choice of profession’ pointed out by Dr. Das. When the
profession does not accompanied with self satisfaction, peace and according to their
passion they must resulting into irritation, depression, addiction, frustration, suicidal
tendencies and fatigues. These are the cause of arrogance. This happened due to
maldesigned examination oriented educational system, which can strangulate a
person’s creativity, productivity, thought e.t.c. within the boundaries of syllabus; these
result into a gross deprivation and deterioration of the productivity of the society.
Practicing unhealthy incidents knowingly under the mask of individual freedom is
nothing but the crime with the nature consciously, because we have individual
freedom to live healthy and make healthy; but do not have any freedom to damage
ourselves or any components of the nature consciously or subconsciously in a direct
or indirect manner. It is not a matter of choice which only confined within you. The
unhealthy practices are stored within our genetic and psychological level which may
deranges our next generations and the nature seriously. In these cases we all have to
pay for it by sacrificing our entire existence.
“Many people said, ‘change is life, generations are changing themselves step by step;
change is the key of existence and success’ e.t.c.. Change and up-gradation are not
same thing. We have to upgrade ourselves from a blunt to finer form; but not to
indulge ourselves under the race of copying; which possess ‘zero’ productivity”, said
197
Dr. Das. At the end of this discussion, Prof. Chawdhury attracted the attention of the
audience towards the ever-growing scenario of ‘Addiction’, which has become a
potential threat for the environment. He referred the research paper of Dr. Sinchan
Das, named ‘Tobacco, Alcohol, The Social Threats’ from IJAR in the talk. Addiction
is nothing but the failure of a person to cope up with his life styles or business.
Addiction is not a casual thing it is a material of some persons having a shameful
character to show off what they are not. A person who promote addiction is nothing
but a criminal, because he played a valuable role in the social degradation.
They give a message to the society, “try to understand the capabilities of your
children. Please do not damage their creativity or originality just to match social
trends of copying. Do not use any negative word to give punishment, because negative
words easily attracts human mind. Try to maintain an open relationship with your
children and in case of teachers with your students. Try to listen your pupils, try to
read them and try to find out the insult from a neutral point of view. There are much
more things beyond our limited knowledge & capacity; so please don’t be over
satisfied with your understandings. Think healthy, make healthy, behave healthy &
live healthy. Creativity enhances productivity & quality.”

Age does not define anybody by any means, a personality must be defined by his mode of
thinking, knowledge and personality. At some times, some thoughts of certain persons
are capable of enriching ourselves, even they compel to change our philosophy of life
dramatically and positively. The 26 years old Indian Scientist and Artist Dr. Sinchan
Das put light on the misconceptions of the theories of ‘patriotism’ and ‘nationalism’. He
has criticized these theories with his clearly defined principles and revolutionary
explanations. The wide unsinkable explanations of a person of this young age wondered
the entire audience.
Dr. Sinchan Das raised his voice against the politicization of every matters in the India.
He called the mass to remove narrow boundaries from their mind and to adopt the
ideology of unity clearly. He said, “When we are unable to breath, eat, live or even die
individually; why should we fight for self-growth in a selfish manner!” Dr. Sinchan Das
is such a person whose sacrifice, boldness, fearlessness, depth of knowledge and ocean
like thoughts has made instances already, even after enumerable threatening situations.

Doctor is In Perfect Harmony With Medicine,

Music, Humanity & Duty
Posted by WORLDNEWS824onMARCH 28, 2019
“Music is not only the subject of entertainment, rather it is the divine tune of
harmony which is able to correct any disharmony in this universe”- Sangeet
ratna Dr. Sinchan Das.
Son of a music lover family, young maestro of Indian Classical Music & health
scientist Dr. Sinchan Das sports no rock star image. The soft-spoken, down to
earth bespectacled artist still wins crowds over with his solid knowledge, talent
and commitment to the art of performing vocal classical music. Dr. Sinchan is
one of those ‘Dark horses’ who won the picks of different next to impossible
picks.
200
Gurus of Dr. Sinchan Das

Starting his journey at the tender age of three with the loving guidance of
Pt. Kaushik Bhattacharya Dr. Sinchan went on to become a disciple of the
eminent vocal maestro of ‘Rampur Senia Gharana’ Pt. Samaresh Chawdhury.
Having spent a long time under his guidance, the talented and soft spoken young
maestro carries forward the precious legacy handed to him — with quiet
determination, dedication and purity. Dr. Das is further nourished by the doyen
201
of ‘Maihar gharana’ Pt. Kamal Mallick. Exploration is a very basic need for
India’s youngest gem; as a result of which he is struggling to regain the pride of
Indian classical music by re- introducing rare gems of Indian treasury to the
common mass. Not only the field of music this struggle of exploration also
continuing simultaneously in his area of research, i.e. health science; and even
in his teaching also.
Each & every time talking with him is like pouring some positivity within us.
He agreed to spoke with us and wondered us like always.

You grew up in a non-performing music lover family devoid of any musical
background. When and how did you decide to become a vocalist?
My father, Mr. Harendra nath Das pushed me into music with his own will,
specifically into Indian classical music. At that time in that young age I
observed classical music is strangled within the boundary of a group of people,
for that purpose this glorious art is continuously loosing its gorgeousness; not
only this, rather more painful was there are many people who used to make joke
with the Indian classical music. Further, people accepting instruments specially
the ‘jhala’ portion but ignoring vocal classical abruptly, as they feel classical is
monotonous & boring. From that time I have decided that I have to be a
performer of Vocal classical and I will perform this art in all kind of occasions,
irrespective of the prevalence.
For over several centuries, tabla players have been expected to play a
somewhat subdued role when it comes to accompanying main performers.
Would you say that this holds true even in the present times?
Traditional classical music has not changed much over the years. However
different performers have different musical temperaments. A standard style of
accompaniment does not work with every performing musician. A tabla player
needs to observe the strengths of the vocalist/instrumentalist, gauge his/her
temperament and adapt to his/her style. Sensitivity is all about understanding the
music that you are accompanying and trying to be a supportive partner rather
than projecting yourself as a soloist at every available opportunity. But tabla is
the basic backbone of music, so it is important to free a tabla player from any
burdens during a performance, which can enhance the quality of a performance.
How would you describe your personality?
I am most definitely not a party type of person. I like the social life but prefer
being left alone, thinking about my science, music, writing, teaching and
practicing for the majority of the time. I enjoy engaging with my family and
teaching. When I see my students perform, delivering lectures, serves for the
202
humanity; I observe the reflection of my interest, my ideologies being carried

forward and that makes me proud and happy.
As a performer, there may be ample times when you get high praise and
accolades for your success at concerts. At other times, there may be a
complete lull in activity or a quiet period. How do you balance the ups and
downs of a life as a performer?
My philosophy is that as long as you are fully immersed in the study of any
subject, it does not matter whether you get to perform or don’t. When I am not
performing, I prefer to sit back and work on the finer aspects of my subject form
by just thinking deeply about the subject. I am working towards three important
goals. One is to revive the glory of Indian classical vocal among the mass. The
other desire is to harmonize the disharmony of this modern time with this divine
form of art. Final one is to establish a firm template of healthy living without
any drugs.
Finally, What will be the qualities of an artist according to you?
Art is most divine culture of this earth. An artist must be guided by a strict
ideology, discipline and honesty towards their art form. An artist must be devoid
of any lucrative impulse. They must live a life like ‘sadhak’.
What defines Sinchan properly, a doctor, an artist or a teacher?

It is a tough job to decide any one among these. Because for me these are
closely interrelated with each other.
What will be the ideal qualities of a doctor & teacher?
Doctor must be the combination of D= Dedication, O= observation power,
C=Care, T=Touched with purity, O= Ocean of love & R= Reservoir of
positivity, patience & knowledge; and a teacher must be the combination of T=
Unbiased thinking, E= Encouraging, A= Active in listening, C= Caring, H=
Humanitarian, E= Excellent in perception of untold truths & R= Reservoir of
positivity, patience & knowledge. These two are the foundations of the society,
so they must be aware from their role, for that reason they have to guided
themselves by a strict principle & ideologies. There are many stuffs done by
these professionals which are not suitable for them.
A Last but not the least Question, what is Education?
E=Explore the basic truth, D= Dedication to acquire, U= Understanding in an
unbiased manner, C= Care for hunger of knowledge, A= Application of your
understanding, T=Truth of the nature and facts, I= Intelligence to perceive, O=
Observation of minutest things, N= nourishment of what you collect in the
education.

Sexual Education & Open

Discussions Are Very Much
Important To Remove
Several Taboos.
Hope
Apr 5
India is one of those ancient civilizations where the seeds of education, medicine,
science, culture and art were first sown. But this land of glory was eventually submerged
under a huge amount of social stigma & taboos. India is a country where ‘sex’ still
considered a taboo subject. Different faulty concepts regarding sex have prevailed in
society for a long time. A suspicious atmosphere has been created around sex
intentionally. This hindrance is one of the principal causes of sexually transmitted
diseases (STDs) and the ever-growing rate of sexual violence. To combat with this
malpractices I.S.C.T.A.S., Kolkata organized an interdisciplinary open discussion about
different aspects of sex with different groups of people; the discussion is chaired by
India’s pride Dr. Sinchan Das.
It is a common trend of the human mind to feel interested in matters that are hushed up.
Intentionally an environment of suspicion & ban is created around an important topic
like sex. Sex does not mean the ‘sexual act’ or ‘sexual performance’ only; rather, sex
denotes ‘sexuality’ and ‘sexual identity’ also. Sex is a basic psycho-neuro-endocrine
property of all living beings, expressed by the means of different typical sexual
behaviours and actions; along with several so-called asexual behaviours also. Consciously
we are directed to believe those phenomena as sexual, which are merely a short part of
the broader category ‘sex’. Sex is a basic & most fundamental property of living beings,
which posses following properties: 1) Sustainability 2) Existence & 3) Evolutionary
maturity; these re the fundamental properties for the purpose of survival. So, it is
immaterial to consider sex as a ‘sin’ or ‘offence’ and it must not be considered as a subject
of hindrance.
204
There are lots of misconceptions regarding sex-related topics one may encountered in the
society, like- menstruation is a shameful event, menstruating women during the time of
bleeding can’t perform any holy activities, masturbation is a sin, homosexual love or
relationship is an unnatural one, sexual talks are prohibited as it is a shameful
discussions e.t.c. Not only these, rather there are several inhuman customs prevailed in
different communities regarding sexual phenomenon is frightening & shocking enough.
Customs which are designed in the Vedic period are founded upon some principle,
maximum of which are scientific enough, but different monster-headed persons have
destroyed those ideologies & spread those customs under the umbrella of religion; which
sprinkled ink on the divinity of religion also. Any deprivation of the truth occurred where
truth is forcefully drowned under the darkness of man made sins. In spite of being the
torch-bearer of many fields, India is still drowned under the darkness of illiteracy &
malpractices just because of these huge amounts of deprivation & arrogant mentality. We
all know about that very popular phrase of this time, “rules are made to break”; but
clearly saying that rules which are founded upon faulty, biased & one-sided principles
need to break but rules which are founded upon a transparent & clearly defined principle
will shine like stars forever. So, more the hindrance & suspicion, more the rate of
violence & deprivation. This hindrance is the cause of faulty perception regarding
equality, where two equally important components of the society indulged in fighting to
become virtually equal by adapting non-sense habits & practices of each other.
Sex is not a negligible issue at all; if sex or sexual matters are the topics of shame, then
birth & family making is also a matter of shame. There are many orthodox authorities,
according to whom style & clothing pattern are the cause of sexual violence like rape; but
human mind is least interested in knowing or visible things, rather mind is curious
enough on the covered or partially covered matters. So, the theory of female dressing is
devoid of any strong foundation. Apart from making faulty boundaries, it is beneficial to
make a transparent framework in not only sexual education rather each every part of
study. Considering physiological phenomena as sin is a ‘sin’. Lack of proper education,
arrogance, & lack of interpersonal respect are the principal causes of Violence.
Dr. Sinchan Das said, “it is important to discuss about so-called sexual matters, like
other normal impulses; which can reduce this man made fishy environment and
simultaneously can reduce the rate of sexual violence & STDs. More you want to
strangulate or constrict by means of vague theories, more the chance to loose the
originality & purity of the topic. It is shameful for us, when we see any intersexual
person, we behave in a strange manner, even in this modern era. Actually it is the basic
problem of us that we thought we are the creater of nature, whereas we are just merely
a tiny product of mother nature; it should be borne in mind that, every circumstances
running in this nature spontaneously, are absolutely natural & every circumstances
which artificially running on are chiefly unnatural. So, many of our daily activities
become unnatural, not the matters of sexuality. Due to this hindrance and ignorance,
lots of pathologies remain unnoticed and untreated for a considerable period of time.
By the time they are diagnosed, the level of threat has gone way up. So, hindrance and
myths may result in compromisation of health and compromisation of expenditure.”

dates, where knowledge must not be bounded within the boundaries of curriculum,
where the breeze of knowledge soothes our heart & mind.
