The concept of Holistic Participatory Customised Curative Pure Herbal Medicine was not a flash imagination. It was neither a revelation from a religious seer nor a divine boon. It was formulated by us in the process of administering a rational and logical pure whole herbal oral formula for significantly and substantially changing skin complexion and glow all over the body on a long term basis. This formula can, in fact, transform even people born dark into fair persons all over the body. If you wish to know more about it, you can read Dr Rao’s book on Skin Complexion and Glow Improving Capsules.
The Digestive System
The
digestive system is a network of organs that help digest and absorb nutrients
from the food eaten. It includes the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the
biliary system. The GI tract is a series of hollow organs that are all
connected to each other from the mouth to the anus. The biliary system is a
network of three organs: liver, gallbladder, pancreas and the bile ducts
that
deliver bile and enzymes to the duodenum, the top part of small intestine. The GI tract is made up of mouth, esophagus,
stomach, small intestine, large intestine and anus. The biliary system consists
of liver, gallbladder, pancreas and bile ducts.
Macro and Micro Nutrients
Carbohydrates,
proteins and fats are our macro nutrients. The ratios of these vary from 45 to
65% carbohydrates, 10 to 35% proteins and 20 to 35% fat. The calorific value of
these foods is 4 calories per gram of carbohydrates or proteins and 9 calories
of fats. An ideal daily intake of calories varies
depending on age, metabolism and levels of physical activity, among a few other
things. Generally, the recommended daily calorie intake is 2,000
calories a day for women and 2,500 for men.
Digestive
Process
The food we
eat is in large molecules. It has to be converted into small molecules for
conversion into heat and energy by cells. Digestive enzymes convert the
food into smaller molecules that cells, tissues, and organs utilize for many
metabolic functions. Carbohydrates
are converted into glucose, proteins into amino acids and fats into lipids by
the small intestines.
In addition
to macro nutrients cells also need vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes and
hormones for generating heat and energy. The
digestive system extracts the vitamins in the digested food, absorbing them
into the bloodstream. Minerals are absorbed across the epithelial cells that line any
portion of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract
to enter the blood for use by the cells. These
nutrients are delivered to the cells, which then absorb the ones they require.
GI hormones are chemical messengers that are implicated in many aspects of
physiological functions of the gastrointestinal tract, including the regulation
of secretion, absorption and digestion, and gut motility.
Pancreas, Liver and Gallbladder
The pancreas secretes digestive enzymes
into the duodenum that breaks down protein, fats and carbohydrates. The
pancreas also makes insulin for metabolizing sugar and directly passes it into
the bloodstream. Insulin is the chief hormone in human body. The liver is your body's
chemical ‘factory’. It has many functions, but its primary task within the
digestive system is to process the nutrients absorbed from the small intestine.
Bile from the liver secreted into the small intestine also plays an important
role in digesting fat and some vitamins. The liver also detoxifies potentially
harmful chemicals and breaks down toxic drugs. The gallbladder stores and
concentrates bile from the liver, and then releases it into the duodenum in the
small intestine to help absorb and digest fats.
The
most important thing to remember is that if the macro nutrients that we eat are
not supplemented with enough micro nutrients, the cells cannot metabolize the essence
of macro nutrients into heat and energy. In such cases the essence of surplus
macro nutrients into fat. That is how fat is accumulated in the body with
imbalanced nutrition. Well balanced
wholesome nutritious food, healthy lifestyle factors, physically active life,
stoic peace of mind, physical and social environments where one is living,
travelling and working result in robust health. Robust health maintains highest
level of immunity to disease that can resist communicable as well as
non-communicable diseases. Very long, healthy, happy and productive life is the
ultimate reward that is heaven on earth.
Convincing Research
Here
we have to remember, acknowledge, and highly appreciate the empirical work done
by Jethro Klaus and the scientific research studies carried out by Dr Bernard D
Siegal MD, Dr Joe D. Nicholls MD, Mr Nathan Pritkin, Mr Norman Cousins, and Dr
Dean Ornish MD in the direction of holistic medicine. They proved beyond shard
of doubt that modern diseases like coronary artery blockages, high blood
pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, rheumatoid arthritis,
osteoarthritis, obesity, diabetes etc. can be successfully cured within a few
months with natural, nutritious, and fibrous foods; moderate exercise; and
peace of mind. There is a lot of information on the above doctors and
researchers on the Web.
On
our part we made correction of diet, lifestyle factors etc as per our
counselling mandatory for patients to be treated with pure herbal medicine by
us. Further, we earnestly request every patient to pass on our counselling on
diet, lifestyle factors etc to pass on to their family members, relatives, friends,
and acquaintances, to develop robust health and a high level of immunity to
communicable as well as non-communicable diseases.
