[ He Cures Cancer by secret ancient text of Ayurveda in India.]

Navin Duggad of Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh has successfully treated over 9000 cancer cases of all types with Ayurveda.

This is an incredible story of a self-taught Ayurved in Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, a dusty town in the Bastar Region, about 3 hours by taxi from Nagpur Airport. His name is Shri Navin Duggad and until about 3 years ago, this remarkable man was a jeweller and diamond merchant by trade. By his own admission, he and his 4 brothers together are considered to be the largest diamond merchant in Central Madhya Pradesh.

Shri Duggad’s transformation to an Ayurved happened about 3 years ago when his 89-year-old mother was afflicted with cancer. Shri Duggad decided that rather than subject her to the harsh treatments associated with modern medicine, he would use Ayurveda to treat her and keep her comfortable.

It is said he pored over a Hindi translation of Charak Samhita, the ancient text of Ayurveda, and came up with a regimen of diet and ayurvedic preparations to eliminate his mother’s cancer. She is still alive today. And she has motivated her son to focus only on this new gift he had developed to help the poor that suffer from various types of cancer.

For the last 3 years, Shri Duggad has treated over 9000 cancer patients with an incredible success rate of cure and remission. He has assiduously kept records of each patient he has helped, with detailed lab reports and tumour scans to show that he has beaten cancer in the vast majority of people he has treated.

Shri Duggad does not charge a penny for his service or his proprietary drugs, nor does he accept any donation. He works from 11 AM to 11 PM every day, often working well past midnight so that no patient goes away unattended.

His treatment consists of small amounts of herbal concoctions and powders (no heavy metal based bhasma) that have to be consumed over 6 days along with a strict dietary regimen. In addition, the patient has to remain in a completely darkened room (without even a chink of light, TV, cell phone or computer) for periods ranging from 15 to 28 days, depending on the nature of cancer. And he achieves a cure / remission in a matter of weeks, or a month or two, regardless of the type of cancer.

Shri Duggad says that modern medicinal practices of chemotherapy and radiation therapy are not only costly but ravages the body of the patient, creating other complications. While tumors may shrink and life span may increase marginally, death is painful and inevitable with modern medicine. Whereas, he argues, his approach gets to the root cause of the cancer and eliminates it in a gentle way where the body is not harmed in any manner.

In fact, Shri Duggad commented that the poor are lucky because their poverty eliminates the possibility of chemo or radiation therapy, leaving them no option but to seek out alternative therapies like what he practices. But he quickly added that he can also treat people who have undergone a great deal of chemo and radiation therapy and still save them very rapidly.

Shri Duggad is a deeply religious man. He is a Jain by faith and prays fervently each day in front of various pictures of Lord Mahaveera and the Theerthankaras before he starts his practice. He epitomizes the mysticism and inexplicability of India. And the adage "service before self".

I am a co-founder of a life sciences company focused on drug discovery. Being a person of modern science, I am normally prone to skepticism and disbelief about traditional practices. However, I have now personally met many patients under treatment as well as those who have fully recovered from cancers as diverse as prostate, liver, breast, stomach, salivary gland, eyes, throat and leukaemia. I have perused many lab reports associated with these cases and have seen irrefutable proof that Shri Duggad makes a difference. Needless to say, I am shaken and now a believer that modern science may not have all the answers . . and there is a place for alternative therapies.

[Futuristic cancer treatment.]

John Grisham book turns spotlight on futuristic cancer treatment. (Reuters) By Amrutha Penumadi-

A new book by bestselling author John Grisham is giving new impetus to a handful of companies striving to develop what they say could be a trailblazing treatment for cancer and Alzheimer's disease.

"The Tumor" is a fictional account of a 35-year-old man with brain cancer who, a decade into the future, is treated with focused ultrasound - a real-life technology that is currently being researched as a potential cure for more than 50 diseases.

Focused ultrasound uses soundwaves to destroy damaged tissue deep within the body, doing away with the need for incisions or radiation therapy. It has been approved in the United States as a treatment for several conditions, including prostate cancer.

As a treatment for brain and other cancers, it remains a futuristic concept. Research is at an early stage and, with clinical data in short supply, U.S. insurers have so far been reluctant to provide coverage.

But the book, which Grisham has released free of charge, could help developers to make a case for funding needed to take this niche technology into the mainstream, said several company executives and physicians interviewed by Reuters.

"Having a world-famous author talk about it can only help raise awareness," said Mark Carol, chief executive of Charlotte, North Carolina-based SonaCare Medical LLC.

SonaCare has two focused ultrasound devices on the market, one to treat diseased cells in soft tissue and another to ablate prostate tissue.

Men using SonaCare's device as a treatment for prostate cancer had a 9-in-10 chance that an MRI scan would show no sign of a tumor after 12 months, according to a study published in The Lancet Oncology in 2012. (http://bit.ly/1ppfkHR)

InSightec Ltd, an Israeli company backed by General Electric Co's GE Healthcare unit and York Capital Management, has approval for different uses: the treatment of bone metastases and uterine fibroids, benign growths in the walls of the uterus.

Maurice Ferré, InSightec's chief executive, said enquiries from patients about the company's devices for the brain had increased "by a factor of a hundred" since the book's release.

'LACK OF AWARENESS'

Grisham is on the board of the Focused Ultrasound Foundation, a non-profit organization. He describes "The Tumor" as "the most important book I've ever written."

The author of legal thrillers "The Firm" and "The Pelican Brief" says he was neither paid to write the book nor stands to gain financially.

In an emailed response to questions, he said "a lack of awareness about focused ultrasound is a major impediment to development of widespread use of this promising technology."

For Sherman Oaks, California-based BrainSonix Corp, which is conducting early-stage research on brain mapping, the book has led to a spike in enquiries from scientists and investors, said Chief Executive Alexander Bystritsky.

Other companies, such as Ann Arbor, Michigan-based HistoSonics Inc and France-based, Nasdaq-listed EDAP TMS SA, say the main benefit of the book will be to spread word among patients.

To date, successes such as this month's first prostate ablation treatment using technology developed by EDAP, have not translated into any prolonged bump in stock prices.

That's partly because focused ultrasound has been used only on small tumors that were diagnosed early and are easily visible on an imaging device, said Ashutosh Tewari, chairman of urology at Mount Sinai Health System, a New York City hospital network.

"I don't think this will become standard of care any time soon," said Tewari.

Treatment is more expensive than lasers and other thermal devices in everyday use. Big U.S. insurance companies have paid out on a case-by-case basis, unwilling to provide widespread coverage for what is a relatively untested technology.

Thomas Andreae, marketing director of magnetic resonance therapy at Philips Healthcare, said demand for the company's focused ultrasound devices was strongest in countries where a reimbursement structure was in place.

The company, part of Dutch conglomerate Philips, sells devices for the treatment of uterine fibroid outside the United States.

Ultimately, the potential for focused ultrasound could expand beyond surgical oncology to the treatment of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases, said Kevyan Farahani, program director at the National Cancer Institute's imaging guided intervention branch.

The technology's potential to cut through a protective layer known as the blood-brain barrier would make it capable of delivering drugs straight to the brain, tackling a crucial issue in treating such diseases.

[ Govt wants us to pay more on Cancer Drugs and other Life saving Drugs.]

CANCER drug prices to rise as Govt lifts duty exemption

SUNDAY TIMES OF INDIA,BENGALURU,FEBRUARY 7,2016

As many as 74 drugs,including life saving ones used for treating cancer and HIV,will see a sharp rise in prices as the government has withdrawn customs duty exemption on their imports.

"An increase has also been made in the customs duty rates of certain life saving drugs such as abciximab,anti-rabies immunoglobin[9],FSH[10],procarbazine[11] and saquinavir[12 to 35%",

Dolite in India Senior Director M S Mani Said.These changes signify the intention of the govt to promote domestic manufacture of these items as imports would now become more expensive.Mani said. Menon said the move seems to be in line with the government's objective to rationalize duty exemptions..

[ With cap on govt help,poor patients face a slow death without treatment.]Many withdraw from Medical Care,Not Able To Afford it.

sunitharao@timesgroup.com

When Satish Gowda,55 a vendor from Chickballapur,suffered a relapse of tongue cancer,after doctors suggested him tongue reconstruction through a plastic surgery along with radiation therapy He,however stopped the treatment.The reason the Vajpayee Arogya BPL insurance scheme which he is a beneficiary does not provide treatment on relapse or any surgery to get back his voice.

Satish is not alone hundreds of cancer patients in Karnataka are withdrawing from treatment and facing a slow death not being able to afford the cost.

Even as the number of cancer cases is on the rise,the vajpayee Arogya scheme provides only Rs.1.5 lakhs for the poor patient and Yeshasvini insurance scheme for poor farmers does't cover for chemotherapy.Oncologists say there is a gap between technological advancement in cancer care and funds provided under govt schemes."Poor cancer patients in India end up getting only mediocre chemotherapy."a senior Oncologists said.

Over 50% of cancer deaths across the world happen in Russia,India and China,according to a recent WHO research.The fact sheet says that while India spends $ 641 per cancer patients,China spends $ 2,200 and Russia $ 3,780.The US spends a whopping $96,758 on each cancer patient.

Though the govt wants to help the needy cancer patients it lacks the vision,say oncologists who see patients withdrawing treatment because of un affordability."For some tests,cyber knife technology needs to be used.But the govt insurance scheme does not cover it,and provides only the basic treatment"said Dr.Vishal Rao member of the high powered committee on tobacco control set up by Karnataka govt.

According to Dr.B.S.Ajai Kumar founder of HCG Cancer Care,the mortality rate is high among BPL patients.They need the best treatment as they have to get back to work.While formulating insurance schemes,the govt should consult doctors he added.

Dr.Santosh Gowda, head of medical oncology Mazumdar Shah Cancer Center said,"In India,the treatment is based on affordability.It's sad we can't prescribe them the best medicine as they can't afford it.When contacted a senior officer from health and family welfare department said the situation may and will improve if the govt makes budgetary allocation keeping cancer care in mind.

Chandigarh became the first smoke-free city-state of India to become smoke-free in July 2007. Social activist Hemant Goswami did pioneering work to make Chandigarh smoke-free. Inspired by the success of Chandigarh,

The then Union Health Minister Dr. Ambumani Ramadoss enacted the new smoke-free regulation in 2008. India banned smoking in public places on 2 October 2008. Nearly a decade earlier, on 12 July 1999, a Division Bench of the Kerala High Court in India banned smoking in public places by declaring ``public smoking as illegal (the first time in the world), unconstitutional, and violative of Article 21 of the constitution. The bench headed by Dr. Justice K. Narayana Kurup, held that tobacco smoking in public places (in the form of cigarettes, cigars, beedies or otherwise) falls within the mischief of the penal provisions relating to public nuisance as contained in the Indian Penal Code and within the definition of air pollution as contained in the statutes dealing with protection and preservation of environment, in particular, Prevention and Control of Pollution Act 1981. The Supreme Court in Murli S Deora vs. Union of India and Ors., recognized the harmful effects of smoking in public and also the effect on passive smokers, and in the absence of statutory provisons at that time, prohibited smoking in public places such as,1.auditoriums, 2. hospital buildings, 3. health institutions, 4. educational institutions, 5.libraries, 6. court buildings, 7. public office, 8. public conveyances, including the railways.

[ Countries which are marching towards Tobacco Ban.]

Total tobacco ban.

Bhutan is the only country in the world to completely outlaw the cultivation, harvesting, production, and sale of tobacco and tobacco products under the 'Tobacco Control Act of Bhutan 2010'.

However, small allowances for personal possession are permitted as long as the possessor can prove that they have paid import duties. The Pitcairn Islands had previously banned the sale of cigarettes; however, it now permits sales from a government run store.

The Pacific island of Niue hopes to become the next country to prohibit the sale of tobacco. Iceland is also proposing banning tobacco sales from shops, making it prescription only and therefore dispensable only in pharmacies on doctor's orders.New Zealand hopes to achieve being tobacco free by 2025 and Finland by 2040.

In 2012, anti-smoking groups proposed a 'smoking licence' – if a smoker managed to quit and hand back their licence, they would get back any money they paid for it.

Singapore and the Australian state of Tasmania have proposed a 'tobacco free millennium generation initiative' by banning the sale of all tobacco products to anyone born in and after the year 2000.

In March 2012, Brazil became the world's first country to ban all flavored tobacco, including menthols. It also banned the majority of the estimated 600 additives used, permitting only eight. This regulation applies to domestic and internationally imported cigarettes. Tobacco manufacturers have 18 months to remove the non-compliant cigarettes, 24 months to remove the other forms of non-compliant tobacco.

INDIA MUST BAN LIKE OTHER COUNTRY'S Tobacco products of cheap form GUTKA completely in any Name.Mouth Cancers are mostly related to Gutka and Raw Tobacco Chewing even by woman in rural areas.

[ Cancer Day - February,Thurs Day 2016.]

Today is cancer day but our TV media has not bothered to say what is happening to cancer patients of undernourished children in India. However the press media has said much.60% of children affected by cancer who are undernourished run the risk of lower cure rate of cancer.

"Cancer affected children are prescribed a neutropenic diet< or a low bacteria diet that reduces the amount of bacteria.Decreasing the bacteria and mold content of foods helps reducing the risk of food poisoning and bacterial infection" said Urvi Jhaveri,national lead dietitians from Cuddles Foundation,an NGO that trains nutritionists specialized for pediatric oncology.
