LIFESTYLE CHANGE … Simple changes in your diet can
reduce your chances of ever getting breast cancer!”
WHY ARE HEALTHY EATING HABITS NOT ADOPTED?
On the matter pertaining to people’s food habits, Dr.
Kradjian has an unpalatable, caustic—but very true—
observation to make. He says, “This subject is real taboo.
No one wants to talk about it. Researchers avoid it. Medical
doctors either don’t know about it or don’t mention it to their
patients. Pharma companies don’t want to hear about it. The
food industry is terrified of the issue and supports
researchers who downplay the connection between fat and
cancer. Patients haven’t heard of it, and even if they have,
they often prefer to avoid the issue. And finally, your
government is strangely passive concerning the matter!” The
diet plan suggested by this doctor consists of restriction of
dietary fats and oils and an increase in high-fiber vegetarian
fare, excluding all animal flesh and dairy products. This type
of diet needs to be adopted by every girl since tender age so
that, first of all, the menarche is delayed; however, it can be
adopted at any age and stage of life by the cancer victim
and also by those who want to prevent the cancer from
occurring. Medical surveys from Sweden, U.S.A. and Canada
have irrefutably confirmed that breast-cancer patients live
longer if they make these dietetic changes.

You alone are responsible for what you think.

February 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
Dr. Kradjian had the guts to speak the truth, howsoever
unpalatable it may be to the allopathic fraternity or the drug-
making pharmaceutical companies or even the patients
suffering from this chronic, debilitating, and deadly disease.
On reading about the unethical, immoral and corrupt medical
practices prevalent—not only in Dr. Kradjian’s country but
in our country too—we may feel like muttering to ourselves,
“Shame! Shame!” But that won’t suffice! We better develop
guts to say so publicly! After all, the Father of our nation,
Mahatma Gandhi, had no hesitation in frankly telling us that
the growing need for more medical colleges, hospitals and
doctors was “no sign of civilization”! He also considered
gluttony a sinful practice; and since our doctors generally
remain silent on the matter of prescribing frugal filling of
the stomach, the Mahatma branded these doctors “partners
in perpetration of these sins.” He believed that just as
debauchery is considered immoral, so also gluttony be
considered not merely unhealthy, but downright immoral or
sinful! So why should we, lesser mortals, hesitate to
condemn what is patently condemnable? So here we go
along with the candid observations of Dr. Kradjian:
(1) First and foremost, the saddest of all observations—
and the most shocking too—American doctors have no
information, or even interest, concerning any program of
prevention … Medical and surgical, scientific literature
clearly reflects this: “Doctors are not trained to teach
prevention.”
(2) Medical students are never taught the importance of
right nutrition at any time during their studies in college.
(3) Studies for research in prevention of ailments hardly
ever attract the attention of funding Trusts or Charitable
Institutes.
(4) Most doctors feel that their work should only be high-
tech—involving scanners, lasers, MRIs, surgeries, etc. For

THE HOLISTIC HEALER February 2009
a vast majority of M.D.’s, it is infra dig (below dignity) even
to mention anything about diet that is low-fat or vegetarian
or vegan. “It is difficult to criticize a lifestyle that the doctor
himself or herself follows.” Nutritional advice is left to the
lowly nutritionists to give to the patient.
(5) The medical insurance companies, under schemes
like Mediclaim, Medicare, etc., usually do not reimburse fees
of nutritionists, counselors, naturopaths and health
practitioners.
(6) Last on the list of Dr. Kradjian’s exposé of medical
complicity is this: “Patients themselves are often reluctant
to make changes in a lifestyle that they have obviously
selected because they prefer it … Let us face it; change is
difficult. A patient selects her diet, because, as one told me,
‘… I like it. I can afford it; and doctor, it is none of your
business! What I do with my knife and fork is personal.’ ” Dr.
Kradjian may have felt insulted by this patient of his; we
sympathize with him. We also have suffered derogatory
comments from our patients, from time to time. We have even
been upbraided by some irate patients with remarks such
as “Doc! You give us so many do’s and don’ts, emphasizing
the absolute necessity of following those rules and
regulations! Dieting we have to do; exercises we have to do;
relaxation we have to practice! So much of homework you
load on us! Then what the hell are you doing for us?
Nothing!” And yet, we continue with our task of educating
people out of their ailments. As Dr. Kradjian himself says,
“There is reason for optimism. When women are given the
information provided here, a certain percentage of them are
convinced by the data and make changes in their life. How
many? My impression is about 10 or 15%. Another larger
group may make temporary changes. Another equally large
group wants no part of any sort of change …” Well! None

majority of humans belong to that category. Very sad indeed!
But let us study Dr. Kradjian’s dietary advice in more
details. He says, “At present, the only factors clearly defined
as promoters of breast cancer are (1) dietary fat, and (2)
prolonged estrogen exposure. Anti-promoters include dietary
fiber; vitamins A, C, and E; and three specific groups of
food—the first is cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage,
Brussels sprouts, radishes, turnips, collards and
cauliflower); the second is called the protease inhibitors—
these are soy beans, chick-peas and lima beans (soy bean
oil is not recommended); the third group is beta carotene—
this includes carrots; yellow, red, orange and green
vegetables; and yellow fruits.” Further on, Dr. Kradjian
explains the genesis of healthy cells turning malignant, in
these words: “It takes, on an average, 30 cell divisions by a
starting breast-cancer cell to reach a size that only the most
sensitive detection and treatment methods can find and
eliminate the resulting tumor. These divisions average about
110 days (with a range of 25 to 200 days). This gives a 9-year
average for most breast tumors; even the rare, very rapidly
growing tumor takes over 2 years. The slowest can take 16
years! Now you can understand how the tumor has ample
time to spread to other parts of the body before it can be
detected, and it is these wayward clumps of cells (called
metastases) that cause death. The primary (original) breast
cancer is almost never responsible for the death of a patient.”
Dr. Kradjian condemns not only all animal fats, whether
derived from flesh of animals or from their milk, but he even
regards vegetable oil also as a culprit per se. He comments,
“Edible oils are artificial, manmade foods—especially the
hydrogenated varieties. The oil content in plant foods, as
grown, is ideal. It is usually 2 to 6 percent of the total calories
in those foods.” Here, the doctor is referring to foods other
than nuts and seeds, which are basically oily.
Anything you faithfully and honestly believe
you can achieve.
THE HOLISTIC HEALER February 2009
Other noteworthy points in Dr. Kradjian’s report are as
follows:
(1) In animal experiments, it has been found that exercise
protects animals from breast cancer. This is mentioned here
in passing, for we do not approve of any research involving
vivisection of animals. But even in human studies, physical
exercise has been found to be definitely a preventive of
cancer, and we have always prescribed exercises—suited
to their vitality—to all cancer patients coming to us. After all,
it is a well-known fact that all cancerous tissues lack oxygen;
and there is nothing better than exercise to improve
oxygenation of the malignant tissues. More info on this
subject can be found in our book The Rationale of Exercise.
(2) Dr. Kradjian says, “Our paleolithic ancestors had no
more than 15% fat in their largely plant-based food. With the
agricultural revolution 8,000 to 13,000 years ago, shifts from
natural foods gradually occurred, and our health worsened.
The Industrial Revolution rapidly accelerated these changes.
There have been less than a dozen generations of humans
since that event … The recent onset of food surpluses for
whole societies in the last 100 years has been unprecedented
in human history. These changes have resulted in a terrible
increase in cancer and degenerative diseases. We have
further changed our nutritional environment by altering the
physical constitution of the domestic animals whose bodies
we eat. We have done this through selective breeding and
by administration of hormones, antibiotics and artificially
fattening foods so that they have become obese, diseased
creatures. Meat samples from wild animals, by contrast, are
rich in essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and very low in
fat of the saturated type. The “marbled” beef, prized by
today’s gourmets, is infiltrated by fat that is largely of the
dangerous saturated type. In many pieces of “choice” beef,
the fat accounts for more than 60% of the calories. Fat in

great role in the out come of your life.

February 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
wild animals is never more than 4% by weight. Our paleolithic
ancestors could not have had a high-fat diet, even if they
wished to! Today we seem to raise animals more for fat than
for protein.”
(3) Dr. Kradjian draws our attention to a little-known,
shocking fact. He says, “In Puerto Rico, Italy and West
Germany, there have been instances of severe hormonal
poisoning of children from chicken, pork, veal and milk,
unlawfully fattened or contaminated with estrogens.
Menstrual periods, uterine enlargement, ovarian cysts and
breast development as well as premature puberty were seen
in girls as young as 4 years of age!”
(4) On the point of hereditary factors, Dr. Kradjian says,
“Many believe that heredity is the prime risk factor. I don’t!
Over 80% of our new cases of breast cancer have negative
family histories for the disorder. This important fact alone
tells us that breast cancer is not primarily a genetic disease.
… All that is inherited is a susceptibility to develop breast
cancer. In the absence of promoting factors, the
susceptibility will not be manifested.” Referring to
epidemiology-related studies of the two world wars, Dr.
Kradjian informs us that “the incidence of heart diseases as
also cancers fell during the wars, and remained lowered for
some years thereafter. This was a great surprise to those
investigators as they were expecting to find the opposite
effect due to the widespread lack of butter, milk, eggs,
cheese, meat, lard and other nutrients, then thought to be
essential for good health. The same connection was found
after the Second World War … The rates of heart disease
and cancer did not return to the pre-war levels until 7 years
following the conflict! The diet forced on these populations
due to shortages was one based on grains and vegetables,
and was extremely low in fat … Incidentally, the survivors of

THE HOLISTIC HEALER February 2009
will get the situation he has prepared for. For example :
A man came to me asking me to speak the word that a
certain debt would be wiped out.
I found he spent his time planning what he would
say to the man when he did not pay his bill, thereby
neutralising my words. He should have seen himself
paying the debt.
We have a wonderful illustration of this in the Bible
relating to the three kings who were in the desert without
water for their men and horses. They consulted
the prophet Elisha, who gave them this astonishing
message:
"Thus saith the Lord : Ye shall not see wind, neither
shall ye see rain, yet make this valley full of ditches."
Man must prepare for the thing he has asked for when
there isn't the slightest sign of it in sight.
For example : A woman found it necessary to look
for an apartment during the year when there was a great
shortage of apartments in New York. It was considered
almost an impossibility and her friends were sorry for
her and said, "Isn't it too bad! You'll have to store your
furniture and live in an hotel." She replied, "You needn't
feel sorry for me, I'm a superman, and I'll get an
apartment."
She spoke the words : "Infinite Spirit, open the way
for the right apartment." She knew there was a supply
for every demand, and that she was "unconditioned,"
working on the spiritual plane, and that "one with God
is a majority."
She had contemplated buying new blankets when
"the tempter," the adverse thought or reasoning mind,
suggested, "Don't buy the blankets, perhaps, after all,
A feeble body enfeebles the mind.
16
February 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
you won't get an apartment and you will have no use for
them." She promptly replied (to herself) : "I'll dig my
ditches by buying the blankets!" So she prepared for
the apartment - acted as though she already had it.
She found one in a miraculous way, and it was given
to her although there were over two hundred other
applicants.
The blankets showed active faith.
It is needless to say that the ditches dug by the three
kings in the desert were filled to overflowing. (Read 2
Kings.)
Getting into the spiritual swing of things is no easy
matter for the average person. The adverse thoughts of
doubt and fear surge from the subconscious. They are
the "army of the aliens" which must be put to flight. This
explains why it is so often "darkest before the dawn."
A big demonstration is usually preceded by
tormenting thoughts.
Having made a statement of high spiritual truth one
challenges the old beliefs in the subconscious, and
"error is exposed" to be put out.
This is the time when one must make his affirmations
of truth repeatedly, and rejoice and give thanks that he
has already received. "Before ye call I shall answer." This
means that. "every good and perfect gift" is already
man's, awaiting his recognition.
Man can only receive what he sees himself receiving.
The children of Israel were told that they could have
all the land they could see. This is true of every man. He
has only the land within his own mental vision. Every
great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought
into manifestation through holding to the vision, and
To lengthen thy life, lessen thy meals.
17
THE HOLISTIC HEALER February 2009
often, just before the big achievement, comes apparent
failure and discouragement.
The children of Israel when they reached the
"Promised Land" were afraid to go in, for they said it
was filled with giants who made them feel like grass
hoppers. "And there we saw the giants, and we were in
our own sight as grasshoppers." This is almost every
man's experience.
However, the one who knows spiritual law is
undisturbed by appearances, and rejoices while he is"
yet in captivity." That is, he holds to his vision and gets
thanks that the end is accomplished, he has received.
Jesus Christ gave a wonderful example of this. He
said to His disciples : "Say not ye, There are yet four
months and then cometh the harvest? Behold I say unto
you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, for they are
ripe already to harvest." His clear vision pierced the
"world of matter" and He saw clearly the fourth
dimensional world-things as they really are, perfect and
complete in Divine Mind. So man must ever hold the
vision of his journey's end, and demand the
manifestation of that which he has already received. It
may be his perfect health, love, supply, self-expression,
home, or friends.
They are all finished and perfect ideas registered in
Divine Mind (man's own super-conscious mind), and
must come through him, not to him. For example : A
man came to me asking for treatments for success. It
was imperative that he raise, within a certain time fifty
thousand dollars for his business. The time-limit was
almost up when he came to me in despair. No one wanted
to invest in his enterprise, and the bank had flatly refused

bank." I added, "and I will treat." My treatment was: "You
are identified in love with the spirit of everyone
connected with the bank. Let the divine idea come out
of this situation." He replied, "Woman, you are talking
about an impossibility. Tomorrow is Saturday, the bank
closes at twelve, and my train won't get me there until
ten, and the time-limit is up to-morrow, and anyway they
won't do it. It's too late." I replied, "God doesn't need
any time, and is never too late. With Him all things are
possible." I added, "I don't know anything about
business, but I know all about God." He replied : "It all
sounds fine when I sit here listening to you, but when I
go out it's terrible." He lived in a distant city, and I did
not hear from him for a week. Then came a letter. It read
: "You were right. I raised the money, and will never again
doubt the truth of all that you told me."
I saw him a few weeks later, and I said : "What
happened? You evidently had plenty of time after all."
He replied, "My train was late, and I got there just fifteen
minutes to twelve. I walked into the bank quietly and
said, 'I have come for the loan, and they gave it to me
without a question."
A keen observer of life once said, "No man can fail if
some one person sees him successful." Such is the
power of the vision, and many a great man has owed his
success to a wife, or a sister, or a friend who "believed
in him," and held without wavering to the perfect pattern!

Make Your Inferiority Complex
A Golden Complex
1) Reduce your complex by tossing aside contradictory
aims.
2) Make a choice among virtues and aims. No one can
have all the wonderful traits most of us would like to
have. No one can do everything in one brief lifetime.
So make a sensible choice.
3) Accept yourself. Of course, you have limitations, so
has everyone else. But with all your limitations, you
are unique. Self-acceptance is absolutely necessary
as a prelude to emotional maturity. Don't try to be
somebody else. You yourself are someone very
special. You can be proud and humble at the same
time. All that is good in you stems from God. If you
reject yourself, you are really rejecting God.
4) Learn to know yourself. Knowing yourself doesn't
necessarily mean being introspective. Sometimes it
means trying yourself out. Often learning to know
yourself out. Often learning to know yourself means
learning to do things you never dreamed you could.
5) Love yourself. Many pious people seem to think it is
an affront to God to love themselves. Yet the Bible
says, "Love your neighbour as yourself." If we despise
ourselves because we aren't perfect, then we won't
be able to love anyone, for we won't be able to find
any perfect person. Accept your own imperfections,
try to improve when you can, but don't brood about
your faults.
6) Analyse the trait in which you think you are most
deficient. Find out whether your best friend agrees
with you, or whether you are imagining a deficiency
that doesn't exist.
Live for each day and celebrate each moment.
22
February 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
7) Get in front of the mirror as soon as you finish this
chapter. Select one trait you would like to have, and
tell yourself, in front of the mirror, that you are going
to improve in that trait.
8) Try to do the best work you can in some field that
interests you. If you think you have a deficiency, seek
something else at which you can shine.
9) Try to do work of which you can be proud, which at
the same time will be of some benefit to the world. If
you merely gratify your ego or fill your pocketbook,
you won't achieve real happiness. The best way to
channel your I.C. is to feel that you are making a
genuine contribution in joy or service to the world.
10) Don't deprecate yourself - and don't brag.
– Dora Albert
EDUCATION
Real education consists in drawing the best out of yourself.
What better book can there be than the book of humanity?
I hold that true education of the intellect can only come
through a proper exercise and training of the bodily organs,
e.g. hands, feet, eyes, ears, nose etc. In other words an intelligent
use of the bodily organs in a child provides the best and quickest
way of developing his intellect. But unless the development of
the mind and body goes hand in hand with a corresponding
awakening of the soul, the former alone would prove to be a
poor lopsided affair. By spiritual training I mean education of
the heart. A proper and all round development of the mind,
therefore, can take place only when it proceeds pari pussu with
the education of the physical and spiritual faculties of the child.
They constitute an indivisible whole. According to this theory,
therefore, it would be a gross fallacy to suppose that they can
be developed piecemeal or independently of one another.
- Mahatma Gandhiji
Be truthful, patient, persevering, modest and generous.

RED ALERT
LETROZOLE MISUSE : NEW TERATOGENICITY WARNING
Letrozole (sold under various brand names in India
such as Letroz, Letoval etc.) is internationally approved
for the treatment of breast cancer in post-menopausal
women only.
• Letrozole is contraindicated in young pre-menopausal
women.
• Both, the Canadian drug regulator and the innovator
company Novartis, have warned gynaecologists all over
the world not to misuse it for female infertility.
• Research on 150 pregnancies has shown that babies
born to mothers who had consumed letrozole to
increase fertility have suffered from bone malformations,
cardiac stenosis and cancers.
BETABLOCKERS CAN PRECIPITATE DIABETES
The risk of developing new onset diabetes in
hypertensive patients is 50% more if treated with a
betablocker (e.g. atenolol, carvedilol etc.) compared to an
ACE inhibitor (e.g. enalapril, lisinopril, ramipril etc.) or a
calcium channel blocker (e.g. amlodipine, nifedipine etc.)
as per a recent study. The difference was so large that the
study was discontinued ahead of due date so that its
findings could be published to help make changes in the
guidelines on the treatment of hypertension.
NIMESULIDE BANNED IN EUROPE, SINGAPORE, NIGERIA
• The drug regulators of lreland, Singapore and Nigeria
have banned the use of Nimesulide in their respective
countries due to unacceptable side effects.
• The European Medicine Evaluation Agency (EMEA) has

24
February 2009 THE HOLISTIC HEALER
banned the use of nimesulide in children below 12 years
in all the 25-member countries. Even in adults, its use
has been restricted to (a) acute pain (b) osteoarthritis
and (c) dysmenorrhoea. It cannot be used for fever and
in other disorders even in adults.
• Nimesulide was discovered by 3M Pharmaceuticals, a
US company but its use is not permitted in America.
• It is also not approved for use in Britain, Canada,
Sweden, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and
168 other countries.
ROSUVASTATIN : RISKY IN INDIANS
As per data submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration (USFDA), the pharmacokinetic behaviour of
rosuvastatin is ethnic-sensitive with blood levels reaching
higher levels in Asian populations compared to Cacucasians.
This can lead to more severe side effects such as life-
threatening rhabdomyolysids. Because of these findings, the
innovator company has been asked to generate more data on
Asians.
Western drug regulators have made it obligatory that
prescribers inform all patients that
• Rosuastatin can cause muscle injury which in severe
cases can cause kidney damage and other organ failure
that are potentially life-threatening.
• Hence patients must "promptly report signs and
symptoms of muscle pain and weakness, malaise, fever,
dark urine, nausea or vomiting" to their doctors.
ASPIRIN INCREASES STROKE RISK
The use of low dose aspirin-a-day not only does not
reduce but actually increases the risk of heamorrhagic
stroke by a whopping 69 per cent in males.
Be kind, considerate and courteous.
25
THE HOLISTIC HEALER February 2009
There is no beneficial effect on the risk of ischaemic stroke.
These are the results of a meta-analysis of 95,000 patients
enrolled in six randomized controlled clinical trials.
THIORIDAZINE DISCARDED GLOBALLY, SOLD IN INDIA
Thioridazine has been withdrawn worldwide by the
innovator, Novartis, due to risky adverse drug reactions,
specifically :
• Evidence of QTc prolongation and heart movement
abnormalities resulting in death.
• Patients already on thioridazine should be gradually
withdrawn and put on other drugs.
• New patients MUST NOT be prescribed thioridazine.
TEGASEROD : BANNED ABROAD : AVAILABLE AT HOME
Due to 10 fold increased risk of heart attacks and stroke,
tegaserod used in the short term treatment of Irritable
Bowel Syndrome in females and chronic constipation in
men and women has been banned and/or withdrawn
globally including China. The serious, life threatening side
effects came to light when an anaysis of 29 clinical trials
involving over 18,000 patients was done.
As of date the Drugs Controller General, India (DCGI)
has taken no action to ban the drug. Several drug
companies market the banned medicine in India under
different brand names such as Ibsinorm (Sun Pharma),
Tegibs (Torrent), Tegaspa (Lupin), Tagon (Intas), Tegod
(Cipla), Tibs-6 (Hetero), Irbez (Emcure) etc.

THE FACTS
N Eggs are less nutritive and costlier than pulses, fruits,
sprouts or groundnuts.
N Not easily digested. Nearly 30-50% of the egg white
passes through the digestive tract undigested. Egg yolk
contains cholesterol (a waxy alcohol) which deposits in
the liver and the blood vessels, hardening the arteries.
N One egg contains 250 mg of Cholesterol, mainly in the
yolk.
N Eggs are deficient in essential elements - vitamins,
B-complex, calcium, carbohydrates - and cannot be
recommended as the ideal food supplement - especially
to children.
N 'Vegetarian Eggs' are a misnomer. In fact these eggs are
only those which are unfertilized, still born or aborted.
N There is overwhelming medical evidence that the
kidneys cannot handle so much high protein food.

A VOYAGE OF DISCOVERY
I thought of the vast army of children all over the world,
outwardly different in many ways, speaking different
languages, wearing different kinds of clothes and yet so
very like one another. They do not think of differences
amongst themselves, differences of class or caste or colour
or status. As they grow up, unfortunately, their natural
wisdom is often eclipsed by the teaching and behaviour of
their elders. At school they learn many things which are no
doubt useful but they gradually forget that the essential
thing is to be human and kind and playful and to make life
richer for ourselves and others. We live in a wonderful world
that is full of beauty and charm and adventure. There is no
end to the adventures that we can have if only we seek them
with our eyes open. So many people seem to go about their
life's business with their eyes shut.
