We had an astonishingly successful (and important) day yesterday in Delhi. Today we headed north to the foothills of the Himalayas for a meeting with a world-class frequency scientist and healer whom we had met last July through the good offices of a physician in Delhi whose hospital is using some of this gentleman’s technology to cure cancer successfully. When we met him before it was a great joy and the beginning of a working relationship. We were headed back to pursue this connection and to learn from him.
The car was booked for 6:30 AM but did not arrive until 7:30 AM. Off we went into a hideous traffic nightmare: the “rules of the road” are a meaningless construct and the dust, bullock carts, pollution, dangers of drivers coming in the other direction, etc., made the 10 hours we spent on the road more harrowing than I can recount.
So instead of getting there for lunch (6 hours) we got there in time for dinner.
Despite that, we found time to watch the healing process (astounding) and talk (even more astounding) while eating a phenomenal home-cooked dinner of local and Punjabi Indian food cooked by a lady with one of the sweetest faces I can remember seeing.
The people being healed included folks with Motor Neuron Disease (for example, ALS), diabetes type I (Insulin dependent), a child with a tiny head (microcephaly), cases of asthma, eczema, depression, violent discontrol and on and on and on. We saw some people who did not respond to a particular session and many, many who did. We also saw people with neurological and other devastating diseases get significantly better in one or two sessions although many of them needed to keep coming (and stayed to do so).
We know, and this remarkable scientist knows, that there are ways to get these effects with technology so that everyone in the world can access them. We also know that they will be illegal here in India if the new law pending now goes through: no “new” medicine will be allowed here: not acupuncture, pranic healing, music therapy, only AYUSH (Ayurveda, Unani, Siddha, Homeopathy), Naturopathy and Reiki and, of course, allopathic medicine will be legal to teach or practice. You can see the game clearly: get rid of the others and then attack the other included practices one by one. Does that give you an idea what is in the works in the US?
While there, we talked about the need to move the research forward which we want to do in common and the importance of making sure that Codex does not become the law of this land.
We stayed in a cold, but very clean, hotel in the village. No internet, of course.

Several hours of talking with the professor and his brother (also a professor, this time from Harvard University) about the research and devices we hope to build and we were off back to Delhi. At night. On the killer road.
We watched as the brother visiting from the US told the driver in the local language a shortcut which would take us to a superhighway which was faster and safer. “Ok, OK!” with the famous Indian sideways headwobble (which can mean yes, no, maybe or go away) to support it and we were off.
The driver had NO idea where the shortcut was and, in fact, about 45 minutes down the (harrowing) mountain switchback road (during which I literally screamed at the driver, “SLOW DOWN!!!!!”) We stopped to change cars (“The driver has no license for Delhi” and I asked the old driver to tell the new one about the short cut. Same “OK, OK”, same head wobble, this time from two drivers.
He had no idea whatsoever about any road or shortcut other than this one. The road was unlit, the drivers were clearly certifiably insane. We were driven off the road 7 times. One time, the first car passed us in the wrong direction, occupying our entire lane and 6 more cars followed right on his tail.
I have never been so frightened for so long in the company of 2 other terrified people in my life. Never.
Eventually, we got to a clean rest stop and had a much needed break. A family from the UK, although they were culturally Indian, sat at the next table and the mother of the family came over and asked us if we would like some help. “Yes, thank you”, we said and she helped us pick out dinner from the incomprehensible menu.
Rested, but reluctant to go back out into that terrifying experience, none the less, we did so. When we got to Delhi, the new driver had not even the faintest clue where our hotel was (“Yes, Ok, OK, I know where it is” — complete with head wobble) did not correspond with any kind of reality so we wandered around dark Delhi for a very long time.
When we got to the hotel we were staying in, there was the woman from the rest stop who helped us so nicely. She, it turns out, is a health activist, a UK ans Asian radio and print advocate for clean healthy food and all the other things we believe in so strongly. She is also a devote of a powerful and influential guru here in India so we wrote to him in the middle of the night. We also bonded.
You will be hearing more about our work together in the near future.
I stayed up all night getting our work together shaped while General Stubblebine was in our rooms the whole time I was downstairs. He was packing and getting ready to leave at 4:30AM to take another plane, this time to Chennai, on the SE coast of Southern India.
Day 30, November 30, 2005
Flight to Chennai. Arrival in Chennai, trip to hotel, dinner with IT (Information technology) guy from Chennai and arrangements for Monday’s experiment in Chennai. Sleep.
Day 31, December 1, 2005
We are working with one of the world’s great diabetologists. He and his doctor wife run a private health clinic for poor children. They give medicine to, feed (the whole family if necessary, clothe, pay school tuition, buy books, etc. nearly 600 children. Out of their own pocket with the help of a few friends. Anything that will help these children is what they want.
So we brought our equipment along and showed what we could do to the doctor and his associates when we used our equipment and what it could do for diabetic children. We then agreed upon a very small scale, very preliminary study on Monday coming to see what would happen if we used our technology on people who have the biological issues we characterize as “diabetes.”
Day 32, December 2, 3, 2006
We continued to get ready for the small experiment using technological means to control blood sugar. Saturday we had a visit from a rather amazing innovator who is creating energy-based devices for wellness based in ancient, modern and esoteric information. His presentation was very detailed and very impressive. We will meet him again in Delhi later this week to collaborate further.
Dinner on Saturday night was at the posh (and delicious) restaurant at the Park Hotel in Chennai with the diabetologist and his IT person (who is now our IT person). As it turns out, we need to acquire a more robust system to handle all of our new activity (such as the brand, spanking new internet website selling only pure, organic products which we will launch within the next couple of weeks, we anticipate).
On Sunday we were visited by a completely remarkable industrialist who believes what we do and is on our side. He does, however, have some serious medical problems which allopathic medicine could not cure and found that his childhood playmate, the noted diabetologist, was very important on putting him on the road to health.
Since he had already been to allopathic doctors of the conventional stripe, once he came to the diabetologist and learned that he was not, in fact, incurable and about to die, his whole framework of thought changed and his interest in methods other than allopathic medicine grew at a rapid pace until today he has a farm for organically grown Ayurveda medicinal herbs.
The industrialist came to our hotel room specifically to tell us about what Indian legal structures are the best choices for us so we can move foreward here in India. We listened very carefully, of course, and will follow his advice in the construction of a parallel organization here in India with the same goals and objectives as the Natural Solutions Foundation “mother ship”. A lot of passionate brainstorming took place, you can be sure.
He left after giving us the information: we tried to absorb it all and see how we fit with the legal structure we were told is going to be the best for us to use here in India.
Of course we did not go to the same hotel for dinner on Sunday as on Saturday. When we met with the diabetologist for dinner on Sunday at the famed Gymkhana Club in Chennai we had lovely, lovely food and equally delightful ambiance and company. What we talked most about, of course, was health freedom and health innovation so the food supported the conversation and the quality of the conversation was supported by the excellence of the dinner!
No internet, by the way, in the Chennai hotel except for peculiar spots at weird times using cards that we could not get and did not work when we could. For those of you who have been trying to reach me by email please be patient. We are trying to dig out from under nearly 3000 emails!
Day 33, December 4, 2006
Today we arrived at the diabetes clinic and tested 4 patients using blood glucose meters to determine their fasting blood sugars, then giving them energy input to correct their blood sugar levels, testing again with the glucose meters and repeating the process as their condition warranted. The results were very interesting: there was no question that we impacted their blood sugars using the energy. There was also no question that we were interacting with the liver as well as their pancreas, which will make perfect sense to those of you who are involved with the physiology of diabetes which is a much more profound disease than simply a sugar dis-regulation one. The results that we got suggested strongly that more clinical work is needed and that the possibilities of energy regulation, as opposed to drug regulation, is a very real one. A real one, that is, which will take some work to develop.
Now I want to remind you that there is a law pending which would make this type of intervention illegal here in India. How different is that from the innovation-hostile position of the FDA toward anything which does not serve its pharmaceutical masters? Not very.
Day 34, December 5, 2006
Early in the morning we had breakfast and left for the Chennai airport to come to Delhi. Of course, we had fixed and appointment for noon with a very important man in government and our plane tickets got changed: we missed the appointment. Happily, the man who made it and another person were calling frantically on our behalf to let him know that we would not make the meeting today.
When we got to the Delhi airport, there was a car arranged for us with a sign saying “Dr. Rima” to take us to the lovely hotel that had been booked by the inventor of the wellness device. We called the important man whose meeting we missed and he graciously gave us another appointment time. Then we hooked up with the inventor who was here in Delhi to serve as a critic in a film festival on the disabled in India.
It is a very impressive festival, indeed, and it looks like I may be given the opportunity to make a brief (+/- 5 min?) address to the press and the dignitaries tomorrow on health freedom. YES! Let’s hope so.
Then dinner (“Octopus Oriental” — that is really its name!) and on to the computer!
I’ll keep you posted as we go, now that we have email and internet!
