Heart disease and alternative system of treatment
Prof. Dr. Gobinda Chandra Das The writer is Director, Holistic Healthcare Cenre, Panthapath, Dhaka.
Heart disease is now one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. Intake of excess fatty foods, smoking, obesity and stress are responsible for the heart disease.
Stress causes various health problems as it has devastating effect on our body. It causes headache, heartbeat, allergy, digestion problem, vomit, tiredness, weight loss and insomnia.
Many of us are forced to lead stressful life due to our works. It is better if we can avoid it.
At present, about 50 lakh people are diabetes affected while about 1.20 crore people are in pre-diabetes condition in Bangladesh. The number of diabetes and high blood pressure patients is increasing rapidly in our country.
It should be our aim to ensure that everyone has access to the natural health information that is essential to prevent, treat and even recover from many common diseases.
It is possible to fully prevent and cure the heart disease with only changing food habit and lifestyle without taking any medicines in a way, which called Holistic System. Change of food habit is very important in the system.
In the Holistic system, the whole lifestyle of the person is addressed, taking into consideration diet, exercise, the mind and emotions, ones spiritual outlook, and the interaction between family, friends, co-workers, society and nature.
The holistic therapy include controlled life style, controlling stress, neurobic gym, advice on food, acupressure, proactive attitude, shunning smoking, exercise, yoga, meditation, ECP therapy and chellation therapy.
After research and experiment, US scientist Dr. Dean Ornish presented the holistic system. Many heart disease patients are now leading beautiful life by avoiding risk following the holistic system.
It has been found that change of food habit, controlling stress and meditation helped fully reduce chest pain. It has been possible to remove blockage in artery with one/two year of that practice.
Dr. Mair Fredman and Dr. Ray Rojenman of Sanfransisco, USA in a research in the sixties showed that tension, negative attitude and lifestyle had a direct link to heart disease. Holistic system is the easiest way of coming out of the tension and lifestyle.
Those who go for bypass operation, many of them may fall to heart disease again later. Hence, the holistic approach is the best solution.
Why should we receive natural and drug free treatment? Because, it is less costly, safe and effective. If there is natural and effective solution, they why do we go for operation and treatment with drugs?
The human body has natural healing abilities. Holistic healing and alternative health care solutions support the body in healing itself.
The natural treatment system is effective, research-based and accepted worldwide. If we want to derive 100 percent benefit, lifestyle change along with intake of proper diet, stress-free life and exercise is needed.
Those suffering from heart diseases can get their treatment without operation and with the intake of less medicine.
Those who have been suffering from blood pressure, diabetic and heart disease are advised by doctors to continue medicine throughout the whole life. In an alternative or holistic system, the patients need to take less medicine and in some cases no drug. Many people got benefit using the system.
A lot of people got benefit from natural treatment. We all should look for natural system of treatment for maintaining our good health.
Heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes and cancer are increasing day by in our country. The alternative system has a lot to offer for those suffering from the diseases. It is imperative to strengthen the holistic system of treatment in our country. Only then, those affected by the complex diseases especially the poor will avail of treatment facilities with less cost.
Treatment of heart disease is very expensive and risky. Though patients become well but they have to depend on medicine and with different physical inability.
Children are the future of the nation. To keep this future in well condition, we have to keep an eye on their healthy heart.
To get rid of this silent killer, we have to bring change in our entire lifestyle. It means that to gain a healthy heart we have to take some measures.
The World Heart Day was observed on September 29 in Bangladesh like elsewhere in the world.
The Day was a chance for people across the globe to take part in the worlds biggest intervention against cardiovascular disease. The Day focused on creating healthy heart environments.
Devised by the World Heart Federation to help people realise that the majority of these deaths could be avoided, the Day is part of an international campaign to spread awareness about heart disease and stroke prevention.
The main focus of the World Heart Day is very much relevant for Bangladesh.
Holistic treatment is the tremendous combination of modern technology and ancient natural method. There are two main factors in this system of treatment: Taking healthy diet and physical exercise.
Meditation in a proper method is needed to control mind. Mental stress is the main cause of illness and unhappiness. To lessen the mental pressure is very much important. For this, time is to be spent regularly and taking exercise regularly by obeying the rule properly is needed.
Yoga, Pranayam, meditation and Neurobic Gym, for everything there is its own set of rule. In holistic treatment, a program is given to follow focusing on soul, mind and body.
In short, it can be said that holistic treatment has gained peoples trust. It has played a vital role in curing thousands of patients of heart disease in the last eight years. Now World Health Organization (WHO) is giving emphasis on preventing and controlling heart disease.
In Bangladesh, the Holistic Health Care Centre is doing this job. In public sector, these activities are being done in four steps.
1. At school level, conducting activities or creating consciousness to prevent heart disease
2. To make conscious those people especially who are suffering from mental stress, high blood pressure or diabetes
3. To bring them under the light of holistic treatment who are already affected by heart disease
4. To apply the alternative treatment process for those who are in the risk of blockage even after angioplasty or bypass surgery.
Most people think that if block begins to build in coronary artery it cannot be reversed. Its only
treatment is angioplasty or bypass surgery.
Many patients of our country spent a huge amount of money in bypass surgery for the treatment and many others are going abroad for treatment. Again many of them are in the risk of being affected by heart diseases. By following the rules of alternative system, they can get a disease-free life.
Its time to control lifestyle. Controlling lifestyle is difficult but if one can make control, then it will not be difficult for them to do it later. As treatment for heart disease is very much expensive, it is impossible for about 90% people of the country to get treatment facility for the disease with less cost.
We must listen to our heart. In the present age of technology, we must ensure the availability of information on natural system of treatment for all the people.
To get rid of cardiovascular
disease, we have to take treatment taking into consideration the system which offers the comparative benefits.
