Day 44: July 25, 2006
Today the Director Medical of Sir Ganga Ram Hosptial, Dr. Nalini Kaul, Bert and I made the journey to the foothills of the Himalayas to a town called Misoori (pronouneced “miz ZOO ri” which looks like the pictures I have seen of Tibet: steep, craggy mountains with exquisit and improbably buildings perched on their absolute edges, mists in the peaks, astonishingly dangerous roads on the edge of eternity. But we went there to meet a healer of extraordinary power who is also a scientist of exceptional talents. He has created frequency devices which do the things that we all hope they will do, starting with cancer. Bert and I wanted to meet him!
About 8 harrowing hours after starting out, we reached his astonishing house where we had lunch (very good food) and conversation (outstanding!) and then watched him treat patients with asthma, diabetes and other serious diseases and conditions with a simple touch of his fingers. The energy in the room, by the way, was palpable. The patients were significantly better after treatment by this brilliant, simple and saintly man.
I asked him if he would treat an olechronon busal cyst (fluid filled bump) on Bert’s left elbow and he agreed. As soon as the 2 minute treatment was over, the cyst was about 1/3 its previous size and hardness. He said it would take one or two more treatments to resolve the issue.
We drove down into town and in the pouring monsoon rains, found a restaruant where we had excellent vegetarian food and we agreed that this scientist would work with us to develop frequency devices to treat a variety of things. To do that, of course, we will have to find a way to set up a frequency laboratory. I don’t know quite how, but we will. His techniques, and others we know about, belong to the world. They are another type of natural health option which we should all have the possibility to use for health and healing if we wish.
Day 45: July 26, 2006
Breakfast with our new friend, two quick treatments for Bert and back to Delhi in the rains, down roads that scared us all witless, into towns and back into the country, past temples and mosques everywhere. When we got back, of course, my task was email since there was no connectivity in the hotel and we were far to busy to spend time that way in the house of the remarkable man we were visiting.
By the time we reached Delhi, however, Bert’s previously asymptomatic cyst was now hot, hard, painful and much, much larger than it had every been before. Clearly the treatment did something, but we did not have any idea what at that point.
Day 46: July 27, 2006
Our IT guy, Venkat, flew in from Channai (in the state of Tamil Nadu) so we could talk about the issues involved in servicing the complex Natural Solutions Foundation organization which is rapidly growing here in India and its IT needs.
For dinner, we met again with pulmonologist D. G. Jain, MD and asked him if he would honor us by serving as the Chairman of the Natural Solutions Foundation for Delhi. To our immense pleasure and gratitude he agreed and we discussed just what that means.
India is a ripe ground for productive public and professional support for health and health freedom. She has a large footprint on the world’s stage and is a ripening economy which is now in the process of making decisions which will change her future and the world scene. Our allies here are well organized, motivated and highly educated. We are very, very glad we came!
Day 47: July 28, 2007
While waiting to see one of our people in the morning we were asked if we would meet with the Sir Ganga Ram Hosptial Dietician staff. We did, of course, and met 3 well-informed, motivated and passionate ladies who understand the relationship between food and health. Their hosptial uses only fresh foods and cooks every meal at the time it will be served. We made a variety of suggestions (like, “Get rid of the styrofoam cups and bowls, use brown rice, use organic foods, incorporate more unrefined, organic coconut oil, use more selenium-rich vegetables”, etc.) and we discussed how to implement them. Clearly, that connection will expand and we were simply delighted.
When we were meeting with Dr. Kaul about how we will proceed with research in several areas. I asked her to take a look at Bert’s cyst (which was worse than it was on Wednesday by a good deal). She and I knew that it could not wait until we got home in a few days and while she was pondering whom to refer us to (in one of India’s finest hospitals, by the way) the door opened and in walked the head of the Plastic Surgery Department. “That’s your man!” said Dr. Kaul and Bert very shortly was having blood drawn, urine specimen received an MRI of his elbow and a CT scan, too.
We met with the radiologist and reviewed the scans with him: there was not only a huge and not very postive something or other, it was impinging on the bone and had to come out — tomorrow.
Day 49: July 29, 2006
Bert and I went to the hospital early and sat around for a long time (that is trans cultural!) and then he was taken into the Operating Theater for the procuedure (under local anaesthetic, I am happy to say!). Due to their hospital policy, I could not come so I did what loved ones do: I sat and sat and sat and sat. Finally, he came out of the OT he went to Out Patient Recovery and I joined him. He was well, alert and really pretty cut up on the left arm. Apparently, what came out was partly necrotic (dead) and alll nasty. It was huge (8 centimeters by 4 cm of nastiness). But the really interesting thing is that there was nothing much there when the energy healer finished his treatments. So our hypothesis of the moment is that the energy stimulated the tissue and damaged it, too, but not enough to get rid of the problem. Bert’s body quite reasonably produced an inflammation to try to deal with the sudden change in the area and the net result was a problem which needed urgent care!
I am really sorry that Bert had to go through this, but it is really interesting and instructive about how energy can work when interacting with the physical body. There is a hint in there for further understanding.
At about 3:00PM I had to make a choice: Bert was well but still in the recovery room and I could stay with him or I could leave him (since he was fine) and let the hospital finish its routine with him while I went to the first of two important obligations that evening. We decided that I would leave him to get a cab 5 minutes to the Hotel Swadi Deluxe where we are staying.
My first meeting was at the India Habitat Center’ American Diner (serving American fast food!) with a former journalist who, for the past 15 years has been fighting hunger in India by opposing GM foods and other devastating policies. He was knowlegeable, passionate and purposeful. His organization has produced outstanding results here in India in public and politician awareness on the issues and we agreed that our mutual issues ( because they are identical) are completely winnable. The materials his organization has produced are outstanding and in the coming weeks and months, our organizations will be supporting and strengthening each other.
I explained the “Codex 2 Step” to him and he, an expert in the WTO and trade sanctions, was absolutly delighted since it makes perfect sense to take this tack. He received a copy of the Codex eBook which applies this template to the devastatingly restrictive and pro-illness “Vitamin and Mineral Guideline” ratified by Codex on July 4, 2005.
Next we headed off to a meeting hall in the Habitat Center to speak at the invitation of D. G. Kaarthikayen, former head of India’s Central Bureau of Intellegence (their equivalent of our FBI) about whom I have previously written and with the help of his son, Kailas. The crowd was a gathering of the intellegencia and power elite of Delhi, I had been told but I was not prepared for the astonishing array of people I met who occupy high and influential positions. All of them had come to hear a Pranic (energy) healer from the Philipines who had arrive just that day. They got me, too, rather unexpectedly!
The response was very heartening: although they did not come to hear about health and health freedom, they responded very vigorously and positively, coming to the front of the room in a throng to get our card, brochure, give us their cards, etc. and make contact for further development. It was a great finale for this trip and opened up more opportunities for positive movement.
Health and health freedom are global. Their support around the world globalizes their access and strength for us all. This trip, like our previous ones, have made it clear that allies gain form one another and give to one another.
Whether it’s South Africa, Tanzania, Mali, Afghanistan, India, Peru or the US, we feed each other and we need each other. And we all understand that clean, unadulterated food is the foundation of health! Natural health options are our birthright and our personal right. No one will take them from us. And nutrients will help to end world hunger and increase world health. The Natural Solutions Foundation is making that options clear to health allies around the world.
Thanks for being part of that mission.
Day 50: July 30, 2006.
Packing to go home and tending Bert’s wound occupied nearly the whole day.
He had his drain removed in the hospital today and we bought a new suitcase to hold all the books, pamphets, papers, etc. which we acquired along the way on this remarkable trip.
But there was time for a wonderful phone call in between these tasks. Dr. C. V. Krishnaswami, widely regarded as one of India’s leading lights in diabetology, has agreed to head the Natural Solutions Foundation — India in the state of Tamil Nadu. Dr. CVK, as he is widely known, is a natural health advocate with a huge reputation and an even larger heart. He has published widely on the fact that women with gestational diabetis, for example, do not need to be placed on insulin but instead, given 250 mg of Vitamin B6 per day. Their babies and they do beautifully and both are spared the dangers of exogenous (outside) insulin administration.
Dr. Preema Krishnaswami, the equally celebrated obstetrician (and Dr. CVK’s wife) has delivered hundreds of healthy babies to celebreties and poor people alike. She has tended equally healthy babies and moms on this regimen for gestational diabetes and together Dr. CVK and Dr. Preema have published their results. But that is not all: in addition to very busy practices they run a free diabetes service for 500 Type 1 diabetic children: not only do they pay for their insulin (which their families could not afford), but they provide their school uniforms, pay for their school fees (not free in India), provide them with counseling, make sure that they find employement when they leave school, provide food for them and, in fact, make it possible for these children to have happy, productive childhoods and go on to happy, productive adult lives.
Dr. CVK and Dr. Preema are, I can tell you from personal experience, two of the most incredible people I have ever met. And now they have graced us by joining the battle with the Natural Solutions Foundation.
In fact, the exceptionally powerful meeting of people in their city of Chennai which we spoke at was arranged by them. So was our meeting with the wife of one of India’s leading film stars who is now interested in bringing her circle of influence to bear for our cause. These are people of heart, skill and influence and we are deeply honored by their participation in the health and health freedom cause.
Day 51: July 31, 2006
Our flight leaves Delhi at 4:15 AM. No news now, just transit.
Yours in health and freedom,
Rima E. Laibow, MD
Medical Director
Then we headed off to
