Present
Scenario of Sufferings and Remedies
=Pt.ShriRam Sharma Acharya
Hormone
therapy is among prominent causes of breast cancer in women. Some kinds of
fungus on wheat, rice, maze and groundnut etc are also identified as
carcinogenic. Some toxic elements, which may not be dangerous poisons, are
found to be mutagenic, many of these are causes of cancers. For example, the
elements in aphlatoxin category are found to cause liverrcarcinomas. Some
varieties of mushrooms are also found to have carcinogens. Excessive use of
chemical fertilizers and pesticides is increasing such risks in most of our
vegetables and grains too. The danger is higher in case of nonrvegetarian food
as the pollutants, mutagens, infections and genetic aberrations in the animals
carry the disease or its cause in those who eat the animal’s flesh or organs, etc.
Tobacco or its smoke (in bidi and cigarette), betel leaf (pana), betel nut,
gutka or pana masalas, chewing gum, alcoholic drinks, etc are high risk causes
of cancers of the tongue, throat and GIrtrack. Breathing tobacco smoke and
polluted air may cause cancers of thoracic region and lungs. Because of use of
synthesized chemicals and preservatives etc, chocolates, toffees, cold drinks,
prercooked tinned eatables and junk food, etc are also prone to cause cancers
in different parts of the body.
Endocrine
secretion of people working near or under highrgrid power or high voltage
circuits sometimes get so disturbed that the new or perturbed hormonal
secretions lead to abnormal transformation of mental and bodily functions. The
latter often lead to different kinds of cancers. Ayurvedic experts give
simpler, yet comprehensive description of causes of cancers. These include,
infection in wounds, eating infected flesh or bones etc, indiscipline of
snehan, vaman, virechan, persistence of dysentery, piles, urine infection,
vomiting, untreated acnes, infections of genitals or uterus during pregnancy or
in case of abortion, artificial diet (e.g. junk food, chemically synthesized or
preserved food), excessively spicy and pungent food, smoking and consumption of
alcohol, breathing impure (polluted) air, etc. Medication not compatible with
the prakrati (natural constitution in terms of vat, pitta and kapha) of the
patient, repeated surgery of an acne or wound, incomplete removal of pus in a
septic boil or its drying by use of chemicals or medicines, repeated forced
control of urination or excretion, are also regarded in Ayurveda as among major
causes of cancer. Excessive tension, depression, excessive sex, unchecked
drainage of vital elements because of sensual excitation, abnormal sleep
(especially overrsleep), excessive laziness etc are described here as causes of
abnormal variations in normal physiological and biochemical (including
hormonal) functions which may lead, among other diseases and disorders, to
cancers.
As per
Ayurvedic scriptures, it is also likely that some genetic abnormalities which
occurred in the foetus get activated and expressed at a later stage when
specific extrarcellular or intrarcellular environment is available and result
in cancerous transformation of specific cells. (This is significant in view of
the latest research on cancerous phenotypes being very specific to one’s
genotypes). As tumors or abnormal growth in any part of the body without pain
or other manifestation happen to be most frequent cases of cancers, let us look
at these in a little more detail. Modern (Allopathy) as well as ancient
(Ayurveda) sciences of medicine classify tumors in two broad categories r
Benign (ordinary) and Malignant (cancerous). The benign ones are removed by surgery
and except for some precautionary measures, there is nothing to worry. However,
if left retained in the body, these may sometime turn malignant. The malignant
tumors, even in the initial stage, are dangerous as they proliferate at
abnormally rapid rate and become extremely painful. Not only that, if left
without any check, they may spread across the whole body and gradually destroy
all normal functions.
Thanks GOD, Thanks
