Subject: Doctors in General and us in specific

------------------------------------------------------------

First of all, we are not doctors. Therefore all these fancy explanations

about the effects of medicine are speculations.

Secondly, the symptom of doctors is that each one says that the other one is

a cheater and knows nothing, his medicine is too expensive and not proper.

Thirdly, no doctor is capable of pleasing all patients.

Some will like some doctors, some will like other doctors. It is not that

there is some absolute principle with medicine or doctors. The real guiding

principle is `if it works for you, then take it.` Whatever medicine and

medicinal system works, then take it.

Take Mukesh for instance. Now you have bad experience, but I personally have

good and bad experiences. When you know what to expect and what to take from

a person then you are not disturbed. Mukesh has super medicine. His

medicine is as powerful as can be gotten anywhere. But you must have a very

good idea of what is wrong. His diagnostics are quick, overconfident, and

often off the mark. But when he understands what you have, he fixes it

faster than others.

Don`t shop for diamonds unless you know what they are and how to deal with

them. If you just go to a doctor and bow before him and accept everything he

says without discussion, then you deserve what you get. Doctors, lawyers,

car mechanics etc are all the same, they are paid servants who should follow

the intelligence of the payers.

Just one point though, it is not that all of Mukesh`s medicine is the same,

even if it tastes the same. He is putting all his condensed medicines in the

same base of amalaki and other basic ingredients which are by nature dry, but

by no means create dryness as a rule. Then he puts small quantities of

concentrated medicines in the mix. You will not see the difference.

This concentrated medicine idea was mine to bring the Ayruvedic herbs to the

west in potent condition. Our problem is that we cannot get Ayruvedic

medicine here, so I asked him to make it in a form that can come here, hence

the condensed versions of the medicinal herbs. However, that he chose such a

yucchhy tasting base for all the medicines is beyond me, I think he has no

taste buds.

So some of his medicine is absolutely first class when applied to the right

disease. In my opinion his problem is diagnosis and it comes from the lack

of humility. He is also in maya you know.

For instance, his bronchitis tea is tops, herpes medicine beyond beleif,

liver and kidney medicines, super duper, maybe others have some different

feelings. But he gave me some `heart` medicine, after he decided that this

wasn`t the problem, which gave me a headache for a week, till I stopped it.

He said that this was a coincidence, but I`ll never believe that, and thus I

too have directly seen that he can really blow it.

So what is the lesson? The lesson is that this is kaliyuga and you had

better have a brain of your own to survive. Find out the best system for you

for the particular diseases and live with it.

For me, if I have some problems I go to Mukesh, other problems, especially

for instance, getting an idea of which organ is good or bad, I would go to

Frau Beitz in HD. Other problems, Nirula in Calcutta, and still other

problems, some herbal teas or whatever. It all depends. Real tossed salad.

And I am still always sick anyway. Don`t forget that doctors are not

demigods.

Anyway, I think that Frau Beitz in HD, although good hearted, is not good

headed. She is rather dull, like all doctors. After all, all they think

about is people`s bodies and for them the soul is like some kind of fairy

tale or dream. Even Mukesh thinks the soul is ok, but let`s be practical

after all, we live in a body. For a devotee, this medicine thing is a real

drag because it is so bodily. It really gets mundane fast.

However, she does have this machine, that works under the Elektra-akupuncture

method of Dr. Wohl and it is a real good machine. I think that this is

something to learn of importance. If one can learn this machine and all the

other little bottles and tubes she has, then one can find out the organ

problems. Then one gets some other
