CURING HIGHLY CHALLENGING AILMENTS.


There is a natural healing force within all of us. It is a powerful weapon against disease. Our body is a miracle of nature and has an extraordinary talent to heal itself.
Nearly all physical and mental conditions can be predominantly treated by “Mind-Energy’ but may not be suitable for everyone. Some people are more receptive than others to this treatment, due to a number of factors. As such the results of healing can vary. If the patient has faith in the technique and the care-giver, this will of course help immensely. Mind is energy, a very powerful tool, when used correctly, can be focused with great intensity on the diseased organ or area, like a wound in the leg or foot, and help cure the organ ailment and heal the wound.
‘Visualization’ is a powerful mechanism with which, when properly trained, one can focus the mind-energy to the site of the ailment and heal oneself. These things must be dealt with by the person being healed. Care givers can help in imparting this training to the person in need and guiding the patient till complete healing has occurred. Our body has an energy field. Sometimes due to trauma, we experience negative energy, which creates blockages and stops the natural healing ability.
Stress and worry will eventually affect the body. The reason one is sick today is probably due to a build-up of negative emotions. The effects of worry and stress may not show up today, but at some point, they may arrive as an illness.Stress lowers the immune system of the body. Thus the body is not protected against a disease. Once the stressful situation is over, it takes time for the body to switch back on its immune system fully.
Meditation works largely by influencing stress response pathways. People who meditate regularly have lower cortisol levels, and studies have shown that they have changes in their amygdala, a brain area involved in fear and the response to threat.
Physical exercise is very important for the body and mind. Many studies have given a sound insight into the positive effects of physical activity on the physical and mental health of individuals.Studies highlight the importance of patients' beliefs and emotional responses to their illness as being important in influencing their satisfaction with the consultation, reassurance following conclusive medical testing and health-care management. Recent research shows that the patient’s perceptions to his or her illness will have marked associations with the outcome, especially in chronic illness and will also affect the individual’s behavior in society and quality of life. This is an area which must be addresses with importance, so that in patients’ who have a low feeling of a positive outcome, this mental attitude must be changed so as to heal the disease condition.

Since past many years I and my team, have been deeply involved in this method of management, and helping large number of patients heal the ailments of their body and mind. Of-course, many a time, opinion and management by the specific allopathic consultant doctor, is very much required. This may involve required investigations and medical or surgical management as is deemed necessary. We have thus been able to help heal patients with acute and chronic problems, some of them declared to be incurable. The time taken for treatment would vary from a few days to weeks or months, depending on the disease and many other factors.
It is of-course very important that the patient have an extreme urge to cure his or her disease.
Patients’ should have the willingness and mental ability to understand and be compliant with the management plan so as to affect a faster and complete cure.
We must understand that it is the patient who will cure his or her disease. Inner acceptance of the ailment and the situation, by the patient is very important. Different modalities are involved in the management depending on the disease and other factors. This includes the patient intensely focusing his or her mind-energy on the diseased organ or area and visualization methods to heal the ailment.
Care givers will in detail, explain the specific process to the patient and relatives, and we will guide the patient along the path to a complete recovery.

You may please initially contact me through my website: www. ajitkumarvarma.co.in. Of-course, for proper treatment, one to one consultation with the patient and relatives is necessary.
You may also consult me in my department of Podiatric Surgery, AsterMedcity Institute, Kochi, Kerala, India. In such case, it would be good if one of the close relatives could initially consult me with the case documents, and then we can proceed with patient management.

“Love is the basis of the World, the essence of life”.
I would humbly request you to please spread this information so that those patients in need; those with acute, chronic or intractable ailments can be helped and cured.
