Firstly we have to understand the difference between lifestyle disorders and infectious diseases. To treat infectious disease is somewhat easy to treat as compare to lifestyle diseases or disorders.

One thing for sure, we have a long way to go. Indian alternative medicine systems are richest in regard of healthcare knowledge. At ground level these systems were in practice before 20 years. In last 20 years our country only went through western and chemical system of treatment. We have forgotten very important thing and it is that our body has one of strongest army in the Universe. It has its own way to treat body. If a person will go to doctor for treatment what he will prescribe? He will give antibiotics along with multi minerals, multivitamins and antioxidants. In addition NSAID’s and antipyretic drug may include. That’s not wrong. But if we will think deeply, we will find we didn’t consider our immune system for treating disease.

Can Psychology be helpful in Treatment with medicine? I don’t think myself capable to suggest any suggestion for healthcare system and professionals. But I have my own view and it will be my pleasure to write it in any way. In India, one thing I always observes. Treatment is based on symptoms that are described by patients. Even in case of psychological conditions where patient feels he or she has disease but in actual state he  doesn't  have anything. Doctor prescribes drugs. Patients take it and get psychological belief that after taking medicine he or she will be better. Now question arises whether giving medicine to all patients that are coming in hospital is good or not.  Isn't  it medical professional responsibility to consult to the patient and provide them advice or suggestion in spite of giving medicine? We can’t take it lightly because over use of medicine is becoming dangerous problem.  Superbug  is new form of bacteria ...

Why does use of chemical products increasing? That is the main question in my mind. But it is difficult to find. My search is continuous. Yesterday I am discussing with college boys and girls. I asked why they use cosmetic products that are made of chemicals. I wondered when I found, they don’t know even about single adverse reaction that can be caused by these chemicals. They only follow advertisement. They don’t know whether they have any requirement or not but they use. Undoubtedly these cosmetic products will only cause adverse reactions. Now question arise, what can we do? After lot of discussion with these youngsters and medical professionals, I have only one conclusion. Media and advertisement have made home in youngsters minds that are very difficult to replace. But it is necessary to change their mind set. Because they are future of earth and we can’t make a bright future with persons having health problems due to chemicals side effects. Our health depart...
