If One Takes Care of His Own Health then He/She will be Requiring the Help of the Health Care System Minimally. @ SELF-HEALTHCARE EDUCATION

By


For the last 12 years, I am trying to push the concept of HEALTHY LIVING into people’s minds because of the conviction that if one takes care of his health then he will be requiring our Health Care System minimally. 

As you all know very well that we doctors are trained from the beginning of our medical career to deal with diseases. Health was not a part of our curriculum. Because of my personal encounter with ill health, I could understand the value of health, but it was a very difficult journey for me to identify the path and walk through it. 

What I realized, 12 years back was a very simple thing i.e. health is wealth.

We doctors neglect our health mostly for a reason that if we don’t act then we will be held responsible for the outcome. If we do not scarify then people will not talk good about us.  But we forget at the same time, that if we don’t take care of ourselves then nobody will help us once we are sick. Being health care professionals we do neglect our health, so think about the common man.


After conducting hundreds of my health seminars, I have come to a conclusion that there is a need for hospitals to take lead in educating the mass about health, just like the way we are taking care of diseases IN HOSPITALS.

At present, our total focus is on treating diseases and is the reason why health has just slipped away from doctors and hospitals, to religious groups and gurus or to people having little knowledge about human anatomy and physiology. This needs a paradigm shift in the approach of hospitals towards Health.  

The present health care scenario in our country is facing a lot of turbulence because of an all-time low patient-doctor relationship.

One of the main complaints is that we the health care professionals and the system is exploiting their disease state and getting benefited from it. We can’t help it, but if we push ourselves a little more to accommodate health and wellbeing into our curriculum then there is a chance that we will win over them.


By promoting health, we will be showing our concern for them and their well-being. This simple change of our attitude will bring them closure to us and will start believing us in a long run.

So next time when they will fall ill, they will take responsibility and seek our help to get rid of the disease state.  

“SELF-HEALTHCARE EDUCATION” is the beginning of such a journey.

My aim is to empower people with knowledge about their bodies and mind so that they can understand their role in the causation of diseases and start giving respect to the efforts we make to treat/cure them. I need your valuable opinion on this concept.

I will appreciate your honest views on this “UNIQUE” approach.

Depending on how we think and spend our days, we are either healthy or unwell. In my thirty years as a surgeon, I've seen thousands of people come to me with a problem that they unknowingly manufactured. As a result, this Blog is dedicated to the role of the subconscious mind in the development of chronic diseases, as well as to its proper application in their remission. Gsher is dedicated to spreading the word about our subconscious mind's potential through its continuous education plan for ordinary men. The subconscious mind's function in health and sickness is a complex and varied subject. Many of our physical functions, including our immune system, hormone levels, and autonomic nervous system, are regulated by our subconscious mind. According to research, our thoughts and emotions can have a major impact on our physical health, with the subconscious mind mediating much of this impact. Chronic stress, worry, and negative thoughts, for example, can stimulate the sympathe

"Over the past century, the death rate per person from infectious diseases has dropped sharply, but the death rate per person from non-communicable diseases has stayed about the same." (Kostoff) Every year, chronic "noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) " claim the lives of 41 million people, or 71% of all fatalities worldwide. Disease reversal has become a topic in and of itself due to the lack of definitive treatments. New research has shown that certain diseases can be reversed under the right conditions. Many chronic diseases, such as Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers, can be reversed or controlled by modifying one's lifestyle and diet. Diabetes is one of the world's most common health problems. It has been discovered that reducing calorie intake and making lifestyle changes, such as engaging in regular physical activity, can reverse the disease and reduce reliance on medication. Both Harvard and Los Angeles County research studies were able t

    Over the past few years, there has been an increasing emphasis placed on overall medical wellness, which is the practice of combining medical treatments with wellness programmes to promote overall health and well-being in different parts of the world. This approach has gained popularity due to its ability to address the root causes of health issues and improve patients' quality of life. As a result, many healthcare providers are incorporating wellness programmes into their medical practices.   we welcome the initiative of NMC for including this aspect of health in its new amendment of medical curriculum.   This way of thinking about health care is based on the idea that physical, emotional, and spiritual health are all connected and that taking care of all three can lead to better health. Medical wellness is not just about treating illnesses, but also about preventing them. By adopting a holistic approach to health care, individuals can improve their quality of life and reduce
