NATURE CURE

Foreword

For people who advocate and recognise the latent healing power of nature like my esteemed

friend and fellow practitioner, Shri H.K. Bakhru, naturopathy is a way of life. It is a distinct

philosophy and science which strengthens the age-old faith in the correction of bodily disorders

and restoration and main- tenance of health through elements freely available in nature. It brings

home the basic fact that healing is brought about by the inherent curative powers of the body.

The simplicity of this method should not deter individuals from its use. The final complete healing

will come from within. In short, the naturopath lends intelligent assistance and interprets nature’s

laws for the patient.

Shri H.K. Bakhru who has contributed numerous articles to leading newspapers and magazines

on various ailments and their cure through dietetics and nature cure treatments, has already to

his credit the authorship of three books on nature cure : ‘Health the Natural Way’, ‘Diet Cure for

Common Ail- ments’ and ‘ Foods That Heal ’. All three have been well received by the public.

A news item appear in newspapers recently about a famous French folk singer, Rike Zarai, who

had never practised naturopathy but her faith, based on her personal experience, turned her into

an authority on herbs and nature cure. At the Height of her career as a singer, Rika met with an

accident, when her car went off the road, due to poor visibility on account of fog and she was

taken from the wreckage with four broken vertebrae, one of which was pulverised. The attending

doctors indicated that she might not be able to walk again without crutches.

To make matters worse, she had a calcium deficiency. On the brink of suicide, she appealed for

help to an eminent homeopath. Clay compresses were smuggled into the hospital and she

applied them regularly to her back. Her surgeon was outraged when she attributed her

remarkable recovery not to his skill but to the clay. With the zeal of a convert, she applied herself

to the wider study of natural medicine.

She has authored two books, titled ‘ma Medicine Naturelle’ and ‘ her secrets Naturelles ‘. As

many as 2,80,000 copies of the first book were sold. Both the books have challenged the realms

of Medical world.

For Shri H.K. Bakhru’s new book titled ‘ A Complete Hand-book of Nature Cure.’ is complete

guide to naturopahy. This book offers a way which, if followed, will provide renewed energy,

increased vitality and greater satisfaction that comes from living a full and useful life.

The author has advocated that the right food could work wonders and has tremendous curative

power. Nutrition is the major problem of human life. This book can also be appropriately titled ‘

Return to Nature ‘. The aim of naturopathy is to invigorate and stimulate the body’s homeostatic

mechanism, to restore health structure and function. One can enjoy perfect health by proper

regulation of eating, drinking, breathing, bathing, dressing, working, thinking, and other social

activities on a normal and natural basis.

I wish the author Shri H.K. Bakhru all success for the publication of this book.

Preface

Nature cures, not the physician - Hippocrates

What, you may ask, is a public relations man doing writing a book on nature cure ? The answer

is simple : good health ought to be everybody’s concern, not solely the medical profession’s

business. More importantly, in my own case, I suffered immen- sely, for many years, largely due

to the shortcomings of the modern medical system. In my despair, I earnestly began my study of

natural methods of treatment and cure of disease, as also the ways and means of maintaining

good health. Putting the time-tested nature cure methods into practice proved so beneficial in my

own case, that I took to studying their application for several other diseases as well. What began

as mere jottings was gradually expanded into full-length articles on the subject " Cure Without

Drugs ", several of which were published in "The Economic Times. " The readers’ response to

the series was overwhelming and several of them suggested that the articles be complied in

book form, to benefit more people. "Health the Natural Way " was the result. This book as well

as my second book titled " Diet Cure For Common Ailments " published three years laters, was

well received by the press and the public. This fact coupled with the immense popularity of my

articles on health, nutrition and nature cure being published in several leading newspapers and

magazines, have prompted me to write a comprehensive book on nature cure under the present

title for the benefit of the general public.

Experience, they say, is the most convincing teacher, and I would like to begin with details of my

own case history as a means of indicating the major health problems that nature cure can

overcome. While doing my intermediate arts, at the age of 16, I contracted two serious illness -

pleurisy and typhoid fever - simultaneously. Having run their course for about 45 days, both

ailments left me so debilitated that I had to dis- continue my studies for one year, on medical

advice.

My recovery was gradually but not complete, as I developed heartburn and breathing problems.

At 28 came the worst crisis, when I suffered a stroke in the early hours of an extremely hot day

in May after acute heartburn throughout the night. The stroke made the left side of my body

extremely heavy and weak, and the attending physician referred my case to a well- known

neurosurgeon, suspecting a brain tumour. For nearly two months I lay helpless in the special

ward of a reputed hospital, undergoing several tests and at the same time observing around me

frequent deaths following unsuccessful brain surgery. Finally, having twice failed to inject air

through the spinal cord for taking X-rays of the brain, the specialist decided to make holes in my

skull for that purpose and even operate if necessary. Fortunately for me, the specialist had to

attend a medical conference elsewhere and, therefore, instructed his assistant to try the

newly-introduced method of cerebral angiography, which involved injecting dye through an

exposed vein in the neck to enable X-raying of veins in the brain. When these X-rays did not

reveal anything abnormal, I was allowed to go, but not before the harrowing experience had left

me a complete nervous wreck.

However, that was not the end of it. I underwent a barium meal examination which indicated "

Chronic doudenitis, may be chronic duodenal ulcer." The numerous drugs prescribed for the

treatment of this ailment and the continuing weakness and heaviness of my left side made my

condition worse still. I endured this for three years, until the pain and heaviness of the left side

was miraculously cured by an astrologer : But nothing could rid me of the heartburn, abdominal

pain and occasional severe stomach upsets, which continued to necessiate the use of several

drugs. Investigations, from time to time, confirmed the diagnosis of duodenitis or chronic

duodenal ulcer. A barium meal examination , done when I was 39, revealed hiatus hernia with

peptic oesophegal ulcers.

To add to all of this, at 45, an eminent heart specialist declared me a heart patient, following a check-up due to pain on the left side of my chest. The heavy drugging, dieting etc. that ensued completely ruined my health and resulted in insomnia and a weight loss of 15 kg. Consulting

another eminent heart specialist two years later, I was informed that there was no evidence whatsoever of heart trouble, but he confirmed the presence of hiatus hernia and stomach trouble. God alone knows which diagnosi s was correct : Then came a host of diseases in rapid

succession - spondylosis, myalgia, backache and prostate enlargement, in treating all of which

the modern medical system failed to give me any relief, despite taking huge quantities of drugs,

especially painkillers, antacid tablets and tranquillisers.

All this time, I was aware of the natural methods of treatment which I had studied from the age of

30 and a few of which I had practised occassionally. I , however, dared not adopt them

wholeheartedly because of my heavy dependence on drugs. Rather late in the day, at the age of

55, I made a determined bid to do away with all drugs and take recourse to natural methods. I

began collecting and studying a greater deal of data on the subject and also consulted

naturopaths. I made drastic changes in my diet and lifestyle and started rigidly observing the

laws of nature. I was rewarded sooner than expected so much so, that for one who narrowly

escaped death at the age of 28, when my son was a year old, I can proudly say that today, at

64, when I have a nine-year-old grandson, I feel healthier, thanks mainly to my taking recourse

to nature cure methods. Of course, I do not claim that I have cured all my ailments. But I do

maintain that I have been able to control them substantially and have obtained a lot of relief

without resorting to drugs. This, I feel, is no mean achievement. I am certain that my own

success in controlling several dreaded disabilities will serve as inspiration to those readers who

are suffering from various ailments and hold out the hope of their deriving real benefits from the

natural methods of treatment outlined in this book.
