Friends, I am Dr Neeraj Gupta. Let me explain the difference between homeopathic and allopathic medicine. Milk does not suit everyone — one person gets acidity, another gets some other problem. But run that same milk through a blender — see how much better it sits. It is the very same substance — we simply put energy into it. In the same way, the energy in it is made so light that it agrees with everyone.

Hello, greetings. I am Dr Neeraj Gupta. Today we shall talk about cancer. What, after all, is cancer? Cancer is this: you all know that a lump is called cancer. Some tiny little thing forms and grows large, and it becomes cancer. My ovary was this small, and it grew to this size, became a lump, and turned into cancer. In our body cells are already being made and broken down — but as they are made and broken down, it is all under control. They form within a limit, within a boundary. They form only as much as they are meant to — and that is normal. But when more are being made than are being broken down, they are forming beyond their limit. Which means our control over them has been lifted. When our control over something is lifted, that is when it becomes our cancer. Just as we teach children from infancy — from under a year old we start training them in control. Control your bladder, go to the toilet — we teach them control. The learning takes hold, the habit of control takes hold. So control is a more important part of everyone's behaviour — it is needed in every kind of conduct: for society, for relationships, for the family, everywhere. What becomes of a person without control — it is just the same with our body. Without control, it produces cancer. We have all watched a puppet dance — the strings pulling an arm this way, a leg that way. And if even one string went slack, what happened? That is exactly where illness can arise. Wherever we lift control, that is where illness can begin. While all the nerves remain under our control we can stay well; loss of control can produce disease. My mother and father exercised control, my grandparents exercised control — everyone exercised control over me, to make me a social being. It was that control which taught me to control myself. Not to spend too much, to spend within a limit; to eat within a limit — only so many chapatis; to walk, to exercise; to let the body grow within a limit and not become too heavy. When that control enters our body we stay well, and by it the inner body and the nervous system stay well too — because all the work of the nerves proceeds from thought, from mind and from understanding. Control this, and the body comes under control as well.

Greetings friends. I am Dr Neeraj Gupta, homeopathic physician. Today we shall talk about those very small children who are born and have cough, phlegm, a blocked nose — and a nebuliser is used, and nasal drops are put into the nose. 'The doctor has said, if the nose blocks it does not matter, just put in nasal drops.' 'He had a cough, it seemed he could not breathe and was in distress, so I gave the nebuliser.' What do you think about nebulisers and nasal drops? Tell me one thing — at home, do you inflate a balloon every single day? What is a balloon? It has elasticity. It contracts of itself and expands of itself — that is why we can fill it with air, and when the air goes out it contracts again. But can I keep inflating one balloon day after day? If I fill it under pressure every morning and evening — will it be able to come back to its same, normal shape? Will its elasticity stay what it normally is? God made the lungs, the airway, the passage inside the nose so that we breathe in and they expand, we breathe out and they contract — in the normal way. This expanding and contracting of its own accord — this elasticity — what if we force it? At present it happens normally, with the strength our body has, the strength God gave it. But what if we do it with an instrument, with a chemical? That gentle control we had over it — by which it closed and opened kindly, its elasticity normal, no resistance building, exactly as God gave it at a hundred per cent. Nasal drops for nasal obstruction, a nebuliser for the lungs — these are all your bronchodilators. And what does dilate mean? To widen the airway. When should we want to dilate? In reality, when there is disease, when there is pathology — when for some reason it has contracted badly, contracted from days of allergy, the way paper shrivels after burning. If we do it then, that is fine. That is, when they have become severely constricted, then we do it — that is fine. But often the patient's breathlessness is psychological, or has any number of other causes. A closed room feels stifling — step outside and it passes. But what does the allopathic doctor do — he gives a nebuliser straight away. A small child merely has a blocked nose, a nasal rhinitis — give medicine for the rhinitis and it will settle. But instead you put in nasal drops. Organic changes will set in, problems will come — and where shall we fix those? A life is not one year long; this life is fifty or sixty years. Very well, you took a bronchodilator and put today right.

[audio unintelligible] Every fabric has a different texture. The yellow dye is the same, but when it takes to the cloth it comes out differently on each one — on some it comes out beautifully, on others quite differently. The substance is the very same — but it depends on the texture it meets. A person is affected according to their environment. That is the thing we study.

Greetings friends. Today we shall talk about acute tonsillitis — how it turns into chronic tonsillitis, and how children reach a condition where an operation becomes necessary. Children get colds and coughs over and over. Suppose the skin here takes a knock and bleeds, and you stop the bleeding. A few days later it is knocked again, and bleeds again, and again, and bleeds again. Taking a knock is an ordinary thing — but the skin will not stay normal either. In the same way our children keep catching colds — because of a change of weather, because of some food or a food allergy, or because small children walk barefoot and take a chill through the feet. Acute tonsillitis: the child gets an infection, the doctor gives medicine, gives a five-day antibiotic. There was fever, and it settled. But what you corrected was the small part of it, the inflammation. And after inflammation there is always swelling left behind. A five-day antibiotic removes only the inflammation — the swelling in the tonsil does not go. Then a fortnight later the child gets inflammation again, you give another five days of medicine, and again you correct the inflammation. But the swelling goes on building, and you never notice it.

You asked about infertility, about a pregnancy not happening — well, what effect are all the other general features of our body having on it? Why am I taking so much history? So that I know why your pregnancy is not happening — what the AMH is, what the hormones are. And you told me you had PCOD from before your marriage. That means the cause of the infertility is that your egg is not forming well — the quality is not good. That is why the pregnancy is not happening. Otherwise your fallopian tubes are fine and your uterus is fine. We look at what the cause is, and only then can we treat it — rather than simply starting treatment straight off. It is only common sense. The body is a book. There is a title written on the cover — but that title rests on something underneath. Pick up this mouse — can you? You cannot lift the mouse without taking hold of it. So how are we to carry so large an illness — PCOD, a low AMH, a hormonal problem, infertility — when even lifting this mouse requires a grip? We are carrying this in our body — we find out that cause, and we put right the body's problems overall. Along with the infertility: the AMH, the PCOD, and whatever hormonal trouble, depression, anxiety there is. We put the whole body right, rather than correcting only the infertility and leaving you to run into depression afterwards.

Homeopathic medicine offers precise treatment in barrenness and infertility.

Hello friends, greetings. I am Dr Neeraj Gupta. Today we shall talk about diabetes. Blood sugar, or diabetes: the level of sugar in our blood becomes unbalanced. When it is too high we become diabetic; when it is too low we become hypoglycaemic. When it stays in normal balance, we stay well. The pancreas is a gland lying against the small intestine. It secretes a hormone: insulin. So five organs control blood sugar: the liver, the pancreas, the intestine, the muscles and the brain. If any one of them falls out of balance, we are at risk of becoming diabetic. The beta cells within the pancreas, which secrete insulin — for some reason they secrete less, or the beta cells have been reduced or damaged. So they must be protected from injury. The insulin is there in the body, there in the blood, but it cannot control the sugar at all — resistance has developed. It is as though you have the key, but it will not turn in the lock. Poor eating habits, disturbed carbohydrate metabolism, obesity, no physical work, PCOD, and taking hormone medication from childhood. Cortisone is such a hormone — we give even small children betamethasone. A cold and cough, persistent heavy allergy, repeated fevers — whatever it is, prednisolone is given, cortisone is given. These are steroid hormones, and these hormones develop insulin resistance in your body. Once insulin resistance has developed, you may become a diabetic patient at any time, if not today. Please save your body. If society is healthy, we are healthy. Thank you, and greetings.

Hello, greetings friends. I am Dr Neeraj Gupta. Today we shall talk about heat stroke, or sunstroke. Today in Delhi, in UP and the surrounding regions the temperature is going above 48 degrees. Such heat that when you step outside it feels as though… Shopkeepers, businessmen — everyone has to get to their shop, has to work, and has to bake in this heat. We cannot simply stop working, because not everyone in India can afford to shut up shop and sit in air conditioning. Some people have no air conditioning at home at all. Going out suddenly into the heat brings on a high fever, because the body could not adapt to the temperature. The body temperature rises and a high fever comes on all at once. In such a case, Glonoine 30 — two pills of Glonoine 30 dissolved in a bowl of water, taken four times. At the very least your fever will come under control quickly. Going out in the heat turns the skin quite red, as though it were burning. In that case a mother tincture called Urtica Urens, which you apply to the body, can protect against the heat. The body cannot adapt its temperature and dryness sets in, and from the lack of sodium the patient becomes quite confused, dull and weak — such weakness comes over them. In that case we give the patient two pills of Natrum Mur 6X, four times. As the weakness and the salt deficiency are corrected, they get relief. Natrum Mur 6X, four times a day. Similarly, in sunstroke palpitations begin suddenly and the heart races — it feels for all the world like heart disease, and the patient has to be rushed to hospital. If you get no relief, consult a homeopath, because these four medicines can be of great benefit to you in heat stroke. You should carry an umbrella, and drink according to your body weight.

Hello friends, greetings. I am Dr Neeraj Gupta. Today we shall talk about IBS — irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome means our intestines become irritated. The moment something reaches the stomach, trouble begins inside the bowel. The abdomen then begins to bloat. You begin to feel that your bowels are never quite empty, that something is always left. When that feeling comes, the doctors run every test, look at everything, and then write down one thing: you have IBS. Nobody has a cause for IBS. Medical science says IBS has no cause. That is why we say the stomach does the work of a brain. Inside the gut there are a great many bacteria, good bacteria. Taking antibiotic after antibiotic from childhood — and you all know what an antibiotic does: it kills bacteria. In this way the good bacteria are steadily wiped out. From birth onwards a child is given so many antibiotics, so many anti-allergics, so much medicine for coughs and colds, that by the time that child is fifteen his good bacteria are gone. Then the good does not get in, and the waste does not get out — what should leave the body as stool. Where is the movement of the bowel being controlled from? If I cannot move this without it, how am I to move the intestines? It is my thinking, my mind. It is the same thing: my intestines did not listen to my brain. I gave them food, but they will not move. And when they do not move, the food does not go down, it sits there, it forms gas, and it irritates you. Right — this is irritable bowel syndrome. It is when the mind and the gut together go wrong that irritable bowel syndrome comes about — not the gut acting alone. Everything that has happened to you in your life, everyone who has affected you and how — all of it leaves an impression on your mind. Those impressions affect every movement of your body, every function. And when they do, they surface somewhere or other in the form of illness.

Yes friends, greetings. I am Dr Neeraj Gupta. Today we shall talk about contraception. Marriage nowadays happens between 25 and 30, and within a year or two everyone has a child. After that child, every woman faces this question. Today she is a working woman, and for a working woman one child is sufficient. She feels the costs are so high that raising even one child properly has become very expensive. For a middle-class family it has become a considerable task. If our first baby comes at thirty, menopause is at forty-eight or fifty — that is twenty years. Getting through those twenty years without conceiving is a real task for every woman. Sometimes there is an ectopic pregnancy in the fallopian tube, and people simply take an MTP pill bought from the chemist at home, without asking anyone and without seeing a doctor — they take an abortion pill. Its purpose is to bring on very heavy bleeding — that is how the pregnancy aborts. But if the pregnancy is lodged in your fallopian tube and you take that medicine, the tube will rupture. Then you will have to go to hospital as an emergency, be admitted with an acute abdomen, and it will cost a hundred thousand rupees. First, use the calendar and plan according to it. Third, take contraceptive pills. Fourth, have an injection. Fifth, there is an intrauterine device — a Multiload, or what used to be used, the copper-T. And the sixth is an operation. So I give the condom two out of ten for safety, because there is the risk of it tearing and a pregnancy resulting. So the condom too is not a hundred per cent sure. Because the time of ovulation differs a little each time, and differs from woman to woman — it is not a hundred per cent sure. To that we give three out of ten. Contraceptive pills: you have twenty years to avoid pregnancy — so for how long will a woman keep taking them? A year continuously is no problem. But people take them for ten years and then come in with side effects. Because contraceptive pills too contain the hormones oestrogen and progesterone. In a year nothing happens, but taken continuously for five or eight years, the rise in oestrogen brings a risk of cancer forming in the cervix. So contraceptive pills should never be taken for a very long period. The injection too is a hormone, and it reaches you directly and in a larger quantity. Contraceptive pills are still the better of the two — they carry a mild dose of the hormone, whereas the injection carries a high dose.

Hello friends, greetings. I am Dr Neeraj Gupta. Today we shall talk about the holistic approach. When you search online, for every disease it comes up: 'I work on a holistic approach', 'our medicines work holistically, they treat the body overall'. So let us understand — what is the holistic approach? The holistic approach is mind, body and spirit: it is a triangle. What is the physical body? If there is no energy, no soul, no spirit at all — it is like the current being on and yet no light reaching inside the bulb. The connection is there, the wiring is there, everything is there — but no light comes, no energy comes. So it will not light; it will be dead. What happened when the wire's connection broke? The flow of energy that was there can no longer happen. And without that flow it goes dead — only the physical body remains. Just so: when the soul departs, we are left a physical body, and no longer a human being. Every child comes from God carrying a different energy. God has given energy to all — even among animals' young you will see one is like this and another like that. One person loads an entire truck and feels no fatigue; another tires merely putting a bag on a bicycle. Both have a physical body, both are sound — but in one the energy is less and in the other more. That is what we call spirit. Body and mind. What is the mind? It is our thoughts. The physical body is one; the energy resting upon it is the second; and the third corner of the triangle is your mind. Perception — what I have seen, what I am perceiving. My intellect, my brain, my thinking power, my reasoning, my judgement — I can judge what a person is like, and what use a thing set down here has. Where is all of this running from? From this mind. Within it is the intellectual mind, the cognitive — I am able to hold everything in my brain, consciously and unconsciously. Sometimes I go to the market — I have a garment to be stitched, so I shall go to the tailor's shop. What is my conscious purpose? To reach the tailor. But unconsciously a great deal is happening: I can see the whole market, that a doctor sits here and someone else sits there — but I am ignoring it. Unconsciously I am seeing all of it, and when the need arises I shall recall it. So the body is governed by three things: the physical body, the spirit, and the mind. When something attacks us in these — suppose you scolded me. One person will feel it deeply: why did they scold me, they should never have scolded me. Another will simply be downcast. A third person thinks: they scolded me, never mind, next time I shall not do such a thing. Some will answer back and come looking for revenge; and some will not have the nerve, so they will tell a relative or someone close to them instead.

"Your question — what were you asking about homeopathy?" The trouble, the complaint you have — it has happened in your body. Suppose I set off walking from here and I arrive over there — but at which point along that road am I? Who is going to tell you that? We say 'diabetic' — diabetes begins here, but where diabetes ends, nobody can tell you. The medicine works in your body, taking hold of the trouble where it sits and bringing it under control. It is in your body, not in mine. Into your body I am only introducing something external, which takes hold of it. How much trouble you are in, and what stage your trouble has reached — it depends on that, not on what the doctor says. To presume in advance, 'I will put you right a hundred per cent in five days' — you simply cannot presume that of any disease. If it were so, our society and the world would be entirely free of illness by now. People do not realise that with allopathic medicine the strength keeps climbing — 25 milligrams, then 50, then 100. Whether it is blood pressure or sugar, in the ordinary illnesses. Homeopathic medicine is not tying the child up with a rope — it is bringing him back to normal, saying: this is where you are going abnormal, and this is what must be brought back. There is simply no awareness among people, and that is the truth.

Whatever happens in the body — all the organs of the body are joined to one another. I do not understand why people see it as separate parts. The body is not a set of separate organs — it is not as though my finger is one thing and my nose another. Everything is connected to everything else. Why then do we not want to take medicine for the whole body? I do not understand it. Every doctor has taken hold of a separate piece — one for the nose, one for the ear, one for the stomach, one for back pain, one for the bones. You can only diagnose them separately. Everyone knows the hand is in this same body, the tongue is in this same body, the heart is in this same body. So take one medicine as well — that is far better than swallowing a separate medicine for each part. You are turning your body into a chemist's shop. The medicine works on the whole body, not on one part alone. And if you do not put one thing right, the whole will not come right either.
