MATTER OF THE MIND
Man is different from all other species on this planet
in that his brain and all other organs could be influenced
by his mind. The newer inventions in science have all
been possible for man in this century and before, mainly
because of his capacity to think. Although there has been
a lot of thinking going on in medical circles about the
role of the mind in psychological disorders, much needs
to be done in the field of physical ailments. Recent data
on the important role played by the human mind in the
causation of major physical illnesses like heart attacks
and cancer, have rekindled our interest in the intricacies
of the working of the human mind vis-a-vis the human
body. In the seventeenth century, William Harvey had
clearly indicated that in all bodily afflictions there is a
mental basis. Much work needs to be done in this
direction. As there is no big money involved in this kind
of research, the gold rush being in the field of
epidemiology and interventions, the field did not, until
very recently, attract good researchers. Funding agencies
were also lukewarm to the research demands in this field.
The prestigious Journal of the American Medical
Association in its recent issue (12 April 2000) has
published a large study of the connection between life
stresses and their role in the causation of coronary artery
disease. This study is noteworthy in that it looked at the
immediate and long-term effects of various emotional
stressors that are a part of life in the modern rat race of
the monetary economy. While there are many good
studies published by the British Medical Journal during
2000-2003, before Dr. Richard Smith retired as the editor,
none of them have been as large as the study in the

JAMA referred to earlier. Although significantly higher
incidence of any disease in a group of human beings
compared to another similar group does not definitely
give a cause-effect relationship, the pointer in this
instance is very significant.
Hostility, anger, frustration and bereavement come
up on top among the negative emotions. Whereas
previous studies have shown the good effects of positive
emotions like love, compassion, social support, and job
satisfaction, having control over one's situation, the
present study has not looked at them in detail. The study
clearly showed that many of these negative emotions
acutely raised the blood pressure as also the heart rate
and the breathing rate. It also indicated that chronic
stress does take its toll on killer diseases. The role of
emotions on chronic stable coronary diseases, as also
their role in precipitating the final assault either of a heart
attack or sudden death, have been explored in detail.
There is clear indication that emotions play a major role
in the above situations.
So far so good. How do we change the emotions of
the majority in society from the negative to the positive
ones? This is the million-dollar question. While the study
proclaims that behavioural changes, meditation and
stress management strategies do help, the authors have
not done or reviewed any long term prospective study
in this area, nor have they been able to fish out any
randomized controlled study that has unequivocally
shown that the methods mentioned above have really
worked in real life situation. Here we need the help of
the long-term longitudinal qualitative research of our
ancient Ayurveda.

Our educational system hardly attempts to inculcate
the value of good living and the fine art of living-live and
let live. The basis of most depression (this has come up
as the most important risk factor for both heart attacks
and cancer) seems to be frustration in life. The latter
results from man aiming his wants much higher than
his needs. There is enough in this world for man's needs
but not enough for man's greed. It is a curious
observation that I have made over the last four decades
that I have been interacting with patients that the
incidence of depression is much higher among the well-
to-do and the educated than the poor. If my observation
is right, I have a hypothesis to offer. With affluence and
so-called education of the present type, man becomes
greedier and has more opportunities to get frustrated.
Real happiness is in giving. If one learns to try and help
other in need one gets busy and does not get time to
think of the petty things that depress one.
Another area where we have a higher chance of
depression is when our expectations are higher than
what we are able to achieve. We are not taught by the
educational system to be satisfied with what we are.
When we try and project ourselves at a much higher level
our innate capacity and then fail to achieve what we want
to, depression sets in. Jealousy is another of the negative
feelings that triggers depression when one sees his
opponent prospering. Life also becomes difficult if we
expect too much from our near and dear ones. In the
busy life of today, where one has to work hard to go up
the ladder, one rarely finds time for others, more so the
elders in the family, who are dependent on their progeny.
Consequently, the elders who expect too much, get

needs discipline.

depressed. Ingratitude is another area where one could
get depressed if he does not get due recognition for the
favours he had bestowed on others. Money, rather the
lack of it, is another potent cause of depression.
Quick-fix methods like drug treatment and
psychotherapy might mitigate depression temporarily.
However, the British study, as well as another
Scandinavian study, have both clearly shown that
depression, clinically obvious or occult, treated or
otherwise, stood out as an independent risk for future
heart attacks. This was also the experience of the
doctors' study at the Johns Hopkins. This brings us to
the point that it is better to primarily prevent depression
in society. How do we do that?
The educational system should change from the
present competitive ethos where one has to compete
with another to the one where one competes with oneself
for excellence. In the latter system there is no room for
hatread and jealousy. In addition, value-based education
could easily inculcate certain basic values in the child's
impressionable mind. If only we could change the
Macaulay type of education to our ancient Guru Kula
type, one could avoid all the negative feelings getting
into the child's head. Let our new schooling system not
come in the way of the child's true education. Our only
hope for the future is to bring up a whole new generation
on this new educational ethos of excellence, camaraderie
and co-operation, hatred and jealousy.
We have been having several quick fixes for our
hapless victims of heart attacks and cancer through
drugs, diet manipulation and palliative surgical
corrections. The scenario is no different in cancer therapy.
Fasting is the greatest remedy.
THE HOLISTIC HEALER APRIL 2009
We have spent too much time and money in copying the
western model of curative medicine where, in fact, we
have only been chasing a mirage. It is not what one eats
that gets him into trouble, but it is what eats one that
gets him into real trouble. That said, I must admit that the
path is not strewn with rose petals even there. We have
to work very hard at it to change the whole system what
with all the vested interests trying to frustrate the efforts
for their personal gains! But think we must in that
direction. The journey of even hundred miles starts with
the first step. Let us have the courage to take first step.
Dimidium facti quie coepit,
habet, sapere aude, incipe!
– Horace
(He who has begun his task has half done it. Have
the courage to be wise. Begin!)
We cannot expect answers for many questions from
any one. We will have to think for ourselves. Indian
Ayurvedic system had the wisdom to know that the mind
sets the pace for all diseases, in this stanza :
Khrodha, shokha, bhaya, aayaasa, virudhaanna bhojana,
Thaponnalaan, katvaamla, kshaara,
lavana....raktha pitta prakopayeth.
(Anger, intense worries (depression), fear, extreme
exhaustion, sedentary life and many others things bring
on all kinds of ailments.)
They also have given the remedy in the following
stanza!
Nithya hitha mitha aahaara sevi, sameekshakaari,
Dhata samaha sathyaapara, khsamavaan,
Vishaye vasaakthaha, aapthopasevi,
Bhaveth aarogyam.
Fasting is the Lord's best kept secret.

(Eat food in moderation and that which pleases the
mind, work very hard, avoid lies, hatred and backbiting,
have the courage to forgive even your enemy, always post-
judge any issue, but to be healthy, in addition to all these,
love everyone in this world as your dear and near ones)
A tall order, the skeptics would aver! True, it is a tall
order, but not tall enough that ordinary mortals cannot
reach. One only has to have the inclination and the right
attitude based on sound value-based education to follow
that dictum in life. This again is not possible if one has
been brought up in the old style. I have been struggling
to achieve that level of perfection but have failed time
and again, but try again I do! It would be easy if we are
brought up in that atmosphere right from the beginning.
That is where my plea for change in our education set
up for the new generation has some meaning.
The present day Yoga and meditation do precious
little to make the practitioner tranquil, if the latter are
not committed. The real yoga or meditation should aim
at keeping the mind tranquil (Chitta vritti nirodhaha
yogaha). Yoga should not be equated with aasanaas and
simple meditation of closing the eyes and chanting some
mantra. I feel that one could still do a lot by trying to be
tranquil by living truthfully. It is in giving that you get.
One could get peace of mind by trying to be of some use
to someone else. That should be done with detachment.
Indian philosophy gives a lot of food for thought in this
direction. Materialism without a touch of spirituality
would sink man into the valley of moral nihilism. Let us
teach the next generation some values in life and hope
for the best for the future of mankind.

HEAL THE EARTH
Ecology is the study of the relation of living organisms
to their environment. All these organisms, including, people,
require food, water, fresh air and sunshine to live. These are
gifts from the earth, our planet and life supporting system.
In assessing our health we normally fail to consider our
personal well-being together with the well-being of the earth,
which is interconnected.
We generally understand health as the absence of disease
and measure good health by factors such as height, weight,
blood pressure, cholesterol level and so on. Similarly, we
understand that the declining state of the environment is due
to the depletion and poisoning of soil, the cutting down of trees,
the pollution of air and water, and the hole in the ozone layer.
However, a proper appreciation of ecology will help us
to assess and maintain both our health and that of the planet.
Presently, very few of us see the direct connection between
our own needs, demands and choices and their
repercussions on the earth.
Integrating this knowledge into our lives involves choosing
between different lifestyles, systems and types of production.
We continue to use and abuse our bodies and the planet.
Righting the balance requires that our needs and demands
support the life support system of the earth, not destroy it.
Food selection can play perhaps the single most important
role in integrating the needs of the two systems of health.
Food is of value only in its connection with air, water,
sunshine, rest and sleep, activity and mental health - in short,
all the natural or normal circumstances that we know to be
necessary for the preservation of health. This is true nutrition,
a process that utilises all the above factors to promote health.
But instead, today's process of food production is
A promise should be made by the heart and remembered
by the hand.

APRIL 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
destroying other factors necessary to support life. The
production of cereals, milk and milk products, meat, poultry,
sugar, salt, drugs, tonics, tinned and packaged items is
directly responsible for damaging the soil, air, water and
atmosphere. Besides, these food harm our bodies by
creating toxins in them.
The popular selection of food is based on the
Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). This prescribes
food in terms of calories, vitamins, proteins, fat,
carbohydrates and minerals - without any consideration for
the effect of this process on the earth. For instance, meat
and meat products, which clog the heart, also clog the planet.
Feeding, growing, slaughtering and transporting
thousands of animals daily is a stupendous feat and one
that devastates the environment.
According to Dr. David Pimental of Cornell University, "If
we use all of the known petroleum reserves strictly to
produce food for the world's population on our present diet
- no petroleum used for transportation, heating, cooling and
so forth - and using our present agricultural technology, the
world's known petroleum reserves would last a mere 12
years." And the food group that gulps and devours the lion's
share of this energy for food production is made up of animal
products, including milk and dairy products. Not fruits,
vegetables or any of nature's other gifts.
Food production has also changed from organic methods
to mechanised, commercial, chemical based agribusinesses
which damage the soil and affect the quality of the crop.
People who attend health seminars are concerned about all
the pesticides and chemicals sprayed on fruits and
vegetables, but no one seems to raise the same question
about meat, chicken, eggs, fish and dairy products!
Of all the toxic chemical residues found in food, more

11
THE HOLISTIC HEALER APRIL 2009
than 90% are found in animal products and 10% in fruits and
vegetables. Factory farm animal have a dangerously high
concentration of these chemical toxins in their bodies from
a lifetime of eating feed that has been sprayed with these
deadly biocides. Moreover, fruits, vegetables and sprouts
are living foods that can tackle the chemicals - fresh, raw,
fruits have enzymes that animal foods lack.
The animal product industry also consumes more water
than all other industries combined. It also pollutes air and
water, apart from being responsible for deforestation, loss
of agricultural land and acid rain.
We know that air is crucial for existence. Six minutes
without air and there's no life - as part of the grand symbiosis
between the plant and animal kingdom (including people),
trees utilise the carbon dioxide that we give out and give us
life-giving oxygen. Trees are the lungs of the earth. The irony
is that at a time when carbon dioxide levels are getting
dangerously high, we are cutting trees for the production of
food instead of protecting and conserving them. Large dams
are also built to increase agricultural production, destroying
thousands of acres of fertile land and old forests, further
aggravating the problem. Deforestation also causes rivers
to run dry. No forests, no rivers, no water.
Isn't it clear how our food selection, based as it is on the
RDA, an outdated customs and habits, ignores the impact
of our choices on the planet? The most direct, simple and
easy way to heal the earth is to place our demands more
and more on fruits, vegetables, nuts and sprouts. Fortunately,
this also provides us with better health by reducing the toxins
in the body. These foods are eco-foods - more than health
foods - which protect the earth and heal the body.... Thus
helping you to live ethically and economically.

THE LAW OF NON-RESISTANCE
"Resist not evil. Be not overcome of evil, but
overcome evil with good."
Nothing on earth can resist an absolutely non-
resistant person.
The Chinese say that water is the most powerful
element, because it is perfectly non-resistant. It can wear
away a rock, and sweep all before it.
Jesus Christ said : "Resist not evil," for He knew in
reality there is no evil, therefore nothing to resist. Evil
has come of man's "vain imagination," or a belief in two
powers, good and evil.
There is an old legend that Adam and Eve ate of
"Maya, the Tree of Illusion," and saw two powers instead
of one power, God.
Therefore, evil is a false law man has made for
himself, through psychoma, or soul sleep. Soul sleep
means that man's soul has been hypnotised by the race
belief (of sin, sickness and death, etc.), which is carnal
or mortal thought, and his affairs have out-pictured his
illusions.
We have read that man's soul is his subconscious
mind, and whatever he feels deeply, good or bad, is
out-pictured by that faithful servant. His body and affairs
show forth what he has been picturing. The sick man
has pictured sickness, the poor man, poverty, the rich
man, wealth.
People often say, "Why does a little child attract
illness, when it is too young even to know what it
means?"
I answer that children are sensitive and receptive to
the thoughts of others about them, and often out picture
Always put worry in its proper place out of your life.
13
THE HOLISTIC HEALER APRIL 2009
the fears of their parents.
I heard a metaphysician once say, "If you do not run
your subconscious mind yourself, someone else will run
it for you."
Mothers often, unconsciously, attract illness and
disaster to their children by continually holding them in
thoughts of fear, and watching for symptoms.
For example : A friend asked a woman if her little girl
had the measles. She replied promptly, "Not yet!" This
implied that she was expecting the illness, and therefore,
preparing the way for what she did not want for herself
and child.
However, the man who is centered and established
in right thinking, the man who sends out only goodwill
to his fellow man, and who is without fear, cannot be
touched or influenced by the negative thoughts of others.
In fact, he could then receive only good thoughts, as he
himself sends forth only good thoughts.
Resistance is hell, for it places man in a "state of
torment."
A metaphysician once gave me a wonderful recipe
for taking every trick in the Game of Life, it is the acme
of non-resistance. He gave it in this way: "At one time in
my life I baptised children, and, of course, they had many
names. Now I no longer baptise children, but I baptise
events, but I give every event the same name. If I have a
failure, I baptise it success in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost!"
In this we see the great law of transmutation, founded
on non-resistance. Through his spoken word, every
failure was transmuted into success.
For example : A woman who required money, and
who knew the spiritual law of opulence, was thrown, in
Happiness is never perfect untill it is shared.
14
APRIL 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
a business way, continually with a man who made her
feel very poor. He talked lack and limitation and she
commenced to catch his poverty thoughts, so she
disliked him, and blamed him for her failure. She knew,
in order to demonstrate her supply, she must first feel
that she had received - a feeling of opulence must
precede its manifestation.
It dawned upon her one day that she was resisting
the situation, and seeing two powers instead of one. So
she blessed the man, and baptised the situation
"Sucess!" She affirmed, "As there is only one power,
God, this man is here for my good and my prosperity"
(just what he did not seem to be there for). Soon after
that she met, through this man, a woman, who gave her,
for a service rendered, several thousand dollars, and
the man moved to a distant city and faded harmoniously
from her life. Mark the statement, "Every man is a golden
link in the chain of my good," for all men are God in
manifestation, awaiting the opportunity given by man
himself to serve the divine plan of his life.
"Bless your enemy, and you rob him of his
ammunition." His arrows will be transmuted into
blessings.
This law is true of nations as well as individuals. Bless
a nation, send love and goodwill to every inhabitant and
it is robbed of its power to harm.
Man can only get the right idea of non-resistance
through spiritual understanding. My students have often
said : "I don't want to be a door-mat." I reply, "When you
use non-resistance with wisdom, no one will ever be able
to walk over you."
Another example : One day I was impatiently awaiting
an important telephone call. I resisted every call that
There is no such thing as a great talent without great
willpower.
15
THE HOLISTIC HEALER APRIL 2009
came in and made no out-going calls myself, reasoning
that it might interfere with the one I was awaiting.
Instead of saying, "Divine ideas never conflict, the
call will come at the right time" leaving it to Infinite
Intelligence to arrange, I commenced to manage things
myself-I made the battle mine, not God's, and remained
tense and anxious. The bell did not ring for about an
hour, and I glanced at the 'phone and found the receiver
had been off that length of time, and the 'phone was
disconnected. My anxiety, fear and belief in interference
had brought on a total eclipse of the telephone. Realising
what I had done, I commenced blessing the situation at
once, I baptised it "success," and affirmed, "I cannot
lose any call that belongs to me by divine right, I am
under grace, and not under law."
A friend rushed out to the nearest telephone to notify
the company to reconnect.
She entered a crowded grocery, but the proprietor
left his customers and attended to the call himself. My
'phone was connected at once and two minutes later I
received a very important call, and, about an hour
afterwards, the one I had been awaiting.
One's ships come in over a calm sea.
So long as man resists a situation, he will have it
with him. If he runs away from it, it will run after him.
For example : I repeated this to a woman one day,
and she replied, "How true that is! I was unhappy at
home. I disliked my mother, who was critical and
domineering, so I ran away and was married-but I married
my mother, for my husband was exactly like my mother,
and I had the same situation to face again." "Agree with
thine adversary quickly."
That means, agree that the adverse situation is good,
"The natural healing force within each the of us is the
greatest force in getting well." - Hippocrates
16
APRIL 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
be undisturbed by it, and it falls away of its own weight.
"None of these things move me," is a wonderful
affirmation.
The inharmonious situation comes from some in
harmony within man himself.
When there is, in him, no emotional response to an
inharmonious situation, it fades away for ever from his
pathway.
So we see man's work is ever with himself.
People have said to me, "Give treatments to change
my husband, or my brother." I reply, "No, I will give
treatments to change you, when you change your
husband and your brother will change."
One of my students was in the habit of lying. I told
her it was a failure method, and if she lied she would be
lied to. She replied, "I don't care. I can't possibly get
along without lying."
One day she was speaking on the 'phone to a man
with whom she was very much in love. She turned to me
and said, "I don't trust him, I know he's lying to me." I
replied, "Well, you lie yourself, so someone has to lie to
you, and you may be sure it will be just the person you
want the truth from." Some time after that I saw her and
she said, "I'm cured of lying."
I questioned : "What cured you?"
She replied : "I have been living with a woman who
lied worse than I did!"
One is often cured of his faults by seeing them in
others.
Life is a mirror, and we find only ourselves reflected
in our associates.
Living in the past is a failure method, and a violation
of spiritual law.
"The greatest blessing is that we are alive."
- Dr. Vijaya Venkant

THE HOLISTIC HEALER APRIL 2009
Jesus Christ said, "Behold, now is the accepted time."
"Now is the day of salvation."
Lot's wife looked back and was turned into a pillar of
salt.
The robbers of time are the past and the future. Man
should bless the future, knowing it has in store for him
endless joys, but live fully in the now.
For example : A woman came to me complaining that
she had no money with which to buy Christmas gifts.
She said, "Last year was so different, I had plenty of
money and gave lovely presents, and this year I have
scarcely a cent."
I replied, "You will never demonstrate money while
you are pathetic and live in the past. Live fully in the
now, and get ready to give Christmas presents. Dig your
ditches, and the money will come." She exclaimed, "I
know what to do! I will buy some tinsel twine, Christmas
seals, and wrapping paper." I replied, "Do that, and the
presents will come and stick themselves to the
Christmas seals."
This, too, was showing financial fearlessness and
faith in God, as the reasoning mind said, "Keep every
cent you have, as you are not sure you will get any more."
She bought the seals, paper, and twine, and a few
days before Christmas, received a gift of several hundred
dollars. Buying the seals and twine had impressed the
subconscious with expectancy, and opened the way for
the manifestation of the money. She purchased all the
presents in plenty of time.
Man must live suspended in the moment.

taking advantage of every opportunity.
One day I said continually (silently), "Infinite Spirit,
don't let me miss a trick," and something very important
was told to me that evening. It is most necessary to
begin the day with right words.
Make an affirmation immediately upon waking.
For example :
"Thy will be done this day! To-day is a day of
completion, I give thanks for this perfect day, miracle
shall follow miracle, and wonders shall never cease."
Make this a habit, and one will see wonders and
miracles come into his life.
One morning I picked up a book and read, "Look with
wonder at that which is before you!" It seemed to be my
message for the day, so I repeated again and again, "Look
with wonder at that which is before you."
At about noon a large sum of money was given me,
which I had been desiring for a certain purpose.
In the following chapter I will give affirmations that I
have found most effective. However, one should never
use an affirmation unless it is absolutely satisfying and
convincing to his own consciousness, and often an
affirmation is changed to suit different people.
For example : The following has brought success to
many :
"I have a wonderful work, in a wonderful way : I give
wonderful service for wonderful pay!"
I gave the first two lines to one of my students, and
she added the last two.
It made a most powerful statement, as there should
always be perfect payment for perfect service, and a
rhyme sinks easily into the subconscious. She went
about singing it aloud, and soon did receive wonderful

• COTTON EAR BUDS.... (Must read it)
Please do not show sympathy to people selling buds
on roadside or at signals.... Just wanted to warn you
people not to buy those packs of ear buds you get at the
roadside. They are made from cotton that has already
been used in hospitals.
They take all the dirty, blood and pus filled cotton,
wash it, bleach it and use it to make ear buds. So, unless
you want to become the first person in the world to get

DON'T CHANGE
"I was neurotic for years....
I was anxious and depressed and selfish.
Everyone kept telling me to change.
I resented them. I agreed with them. I wanted to change,
but simply couldn't, no matter how hard I tried.
Then one day someone said to me, "Don't change. I love
you just as you are."
Those words were music to my ears : "Don't change,
don't change. Don't change. I love you as you are."
I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed!"

APRIL 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
PAIN IS NOT THE ULTIMATE ENEMY
Americans are probably the most pain-conscious people
on the face of the earth. For years we have had it drummed
into us—in print, on radio, over television, in everyday
conversation—that any hint of pain is to be banished as
though it were the ultimate evil. As a result, we are becoming
a nation of pillgrabbers and hypochondriacs, escalating the
slightest ache into a searing ordeal.
We know very little about pain and what we don’t know
makes it hurt all the more. Indeed, no form of illiteracy in the
United States is so widespread or costly as ignorance about
pain—what it is, what causes it, how to deal with it without panic.
Almost everyone can rattle off the names of at least a dozen
drugs that can deaden pain from every conceivable cause—all
the way from headaches to hemorrhoids. There is far less
knowledge about the fact that about 90 percent of pain is self-
limiting, that it is not always an indication of poor health, and
that, most frequently, it is the result of tension, stress, worry,
idleness, boredom, frustration, suppressed rage, insufficient
sleep, overeating, poorly balanced diet, smoking, excessive
drinking, inadequate exercise, stale air, or any of the other
abuses encountered by the human body in modern society.
The most ignored fact of all about pain is that the best
way to eliminate it is to eliminate the abuse. In stead, many
people reach almost instinctively for the painkillers—aspirins,
barbiturates, codeines, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, and
dozens of other analgesics or desensitizing drugs.
Most doctors are profoundly troubled over the extent to
which the medical profession today is taking on the trappings
of a pain-killing industry. Their offices are overloaded with
people who are morbidly but mistakenly convinced that
something dreadful is about to happen to them. It is all too
evident that the campaign to get people to run to a doctor at
the first sign of pain has boomeranged. Physicians find it
difficult to give adequate attention to patients genuinely in
need of expert diagnosis and treatment because their time is
soaked up by people who have nothing wrong with them
except a temporary indisposition or a psychogenic ache.

by Norman Cousins)

A VISION FOR THE FUTURE
It is my hope that we will have both the means and the
will to expand our approach to health—on both an individual
and a societal level. Such a change will mean that:
• As individuals we will routinely consider the emotional,
psychological, and social dimentions of our health, in
addition to the biological and behavioral, in our efforts to
prevent or recover from illness.
• People at genetic risk for illness will utilize behavioral, psy-
chological, and emotional, or social techniques to prevent
the activation of disease-contributing genes.
• Medical schools will update their curricula to include more
about the new health science so that physicians in training
will learn as much about the nonbiological dimensions of
health as about the biological.
• Health assessments in medicine will include the
nonbiological dimensions of illness for interventions by
health professionals (including psychologists, nurses, and
others) to keep people healthy or to help them recover more
rapidly from illness.
• As a society we will have a greater recognition of the
manifold influences of the social context, including how
families, neighborhoods, schools, work sites, and
economics affect health and lifestyle factors such as
exercise patterns, diet, and smoking.
• Public health, health promotion, and disease prevention
will become greater priorities in society. Health-promotion
and disease prevention will become routine considerations
among those who set policies in the workplace, in school
settings, and in health care, and they will become
increasing priorities in federal research funding.
Finally it is my hope that these predictions and hopes will
make available to everyone what my mother seemed to have
had naturally—harmony of mind, body, and spirit.

RED ALERT
JAW OSTEONECROSIS DUE TO ALENDRONATE
One of the side effects of alendronate used for
osteoporosis is jaw necrosis. In 60 percent of the cases, the
side effect occurs after dental procedure while in the
remaining 40 percent, it occurs spontaneously. Reaons:
• Alendronate and other biphosphonates work by preventing
the resorption of old bone and are toxic to osteoclasts.
Consequently the old, aging bone eventually dies.
• Jaw bone has a faster turnover than bone elsewhere in
the body.
• Jaw bone is in constant use such as chewing and talking.
• Due to greater blood supply in the jaw bone, alendronate
levels are higher.
• Invasive dental procedures coupled with high alendronate
levels result in osteonecrosis
PIRACETAM : UNETHICAL PROMOTION
In India, Piracetam is being promoted for vague
conditions like "intellectual decay," "social maladjustment,"
"lack of alertness," "changes of mood," "deterioration in
behaviour" and "learning disabilities in children." In Britain,
piracetam (Nootropil) is permitted for use in a rare disorder
called cortical myoclonus. While in India, the drug is being
promoted for use in very young children, in Britain its use is
contraindicated for adolescents under the age of 16 years.
The drug's side effects include : diarrhoea, insomnia,
nervousness, depression, hyperkinesia and rash. Piracetam
is not marketed in the United States.
COMBINATION VACCINE FOR KIDS WITHDRAWN
A vaccine that combines conventional MMR (Measles,
Mumps & Rubella) with Chickenpox has been withdrawn in
the United States due to a higher rate of seizures in children.
