[A Case narrated by Shri C.R. Varma]
It happened an year back. She was just sixteen. While going round the corridor of a hospital she came across warning signals in respect of cancer.''If you see a lump or an unnatural growth anywhere in the body do not neglect. It may be cancer,approach a doctor. Your life may be saved''. She became worried because she did neglect something. There was[there is a name now] a hard tumorous growth on her left breast ''is it cancerous? o! God''. She thought she disclosed the fact to her mother without wasting any time a lady doctor was consulted. The lurking fear was confirmed. ''Malignant tumor--size of an orange,referred to the Medical College Hospital at the state capital''.
Fear clamped down the whole family. Blood disappeared from the girl's face. The mother,the father and brother all were in a dilemma. They were hinted that removal of the offending tumor and probably the whole breast was the only solution. One can imagine the sad plight of the girl. Arrangement were made to go to the medical college hospital. The girl out of anxiety and fear suggested ''Mummy, why not try Nature-Cure which our aunt knows''. She was snubbed immediately by the remark that Nature-Cure is good only for stomach ailments or such. Fortunately the said''aunt'' turned up by accident to the house. When she was apprised of the problem she too was taken aback. When she approached me for the solution I said that Nature-cure is always good. A fair trial could be given before presenting her to the surgeon.
After careful inspection of the patient I said ''It may not be malignant, At such age I doubt it'. A hundred per cent raw diet was prescribed. Milk and milk product and fish, fowl and flesh were to be completely excluded.
6 a.m 5 ounces of ashgourd juice [banana pith juice if available] plus 20 leaves of Manithakkali [Makoa] or 20 leaves of bilva.
8-30 p.m coconut water plus 1 small banana
12-30 p.m. banana plus raw coconut plus dates
5-30 p.m. as 6 a.m.
8-30 p.m. A salad of carrot, tomato, cucumber, tender lady's finger, coconut scrapings and coriander[dhaniya] leaves.
The 12-30 noon and 8-30 p.m. diet could be exchanged. No salt, no sugar. Daily two spinal bath of 25 minutes duration and a sun bat for 20 minutes either before 9 a.m. or after 4-30 p.m. She was to go on an approach to a fast on the tender coconut water only on two days in a week. The parents were not sure whether the thing would work. After 15 days she was again taken to the same lady doctor.
When the doctor saw the mother [her last mate] and the girl, She became furious and scolded the mother ''what have you done? Her place is in the Medical College Hospital. You are playing with the life. of the child''. The mother replied ''We are trying Nature-Cure''. ''There are simply no other methods. I have not heard of anything. Anyway let me have a look, what your Nature-Cure has done'', the doctor replied. The girl was examined again. The doctor was dumbfounded. Nearly 50% of the tumor had become soft, a fact the doctor could not swallow[the truth]. Disregarding a number of patients waiting in Q the lady doctor heard patiently the whole procedure of treatment followed. At last she declared,'' I don't know anything about Nature-Cure in Medical College Hospital. She will recover with the present treatment''.
