> Every thought is a thing, so say many quantum physicists. Therefore, if you want to get anything you must be able to think first. Today in the world of “science” no body is permitted to think! Even if you write a new sentence in any of your papers, the editor and the so called “peer-reviewer” want a reference to that statement. Logically, that eliminates fresh thinking. “If only I could think, if only I could think!” lamented Albert Einstein many times. Curiously, physics died a natural death with his student, Werner Heisenberg, thinking laterally following some of his mediation sessions on the Mountains in 1925. Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle put an end to conventional physics. That was finally sealed by another colleague of Einstein and Heisenberg, Hans Peter Durr, Director of the Max Planck Institute in Munich, who showed that “matter is not made up of matter.” He calls that a-duality, which he himself admits is not as good a concept as Advaitha of ancient Sanathana Dharma in India! Without matter where is physics?
Years ago in 1968, I wrote a paper with the title-Should we be drugging every elevated blood pressure?-which landed me in real trouble in my department. I survived with the skin of my teeth! I have been thinking and researching that ever since. I met a middle aged but young looking man in his early 60s, a retired Dean of an Agricultural University, yesterday after my talk at the International Cocoanut Meet at the CPCRI, Kasargod in Kerala, who wanted my opinion on his cholesterol levels of 600-800 mg per decilitre for decades. He tried drugs for a couple of days and felt miserable and stopped. He was a specimen of perfect health. Health, incidentally, is defined as enthusiasm to work and enthusiasm to be compassionate lately. The concept of organ based disease is long back dead in true science of man. “There is NO science of man”, wrote Dr. Alexis Carrel, Nobel Laureate, in his celebrated book, Man the Unknown.
A silent killer is a new mantra invented by the powerful pharma lobby’s paid scientists to rope in millions to buy drugs for the rest of their lives. Gullible doctors buy that argument whole heartedly which incidentally helps the doctors also if one has read that illuminating editorial in the prestigious JAMA, the official journal of the American Medical Association, entitled Looking the Gift Horse in the Mouth!
Disease inventors is a fascinating book by Professor Jerg Blech that gives a graphic description of this menace called hypertension first started in the “Well Man Clinics” that German companies started there outside Cinema Halls and Shopping Malls, to label apparently healthy people with a disease! That has been extended to raised cholesterol and raised sugar in healthy people as diseases! The Patron Saint of hypertension research in the UK, Professor Sir George Pickering, wrote the real truth after decades of teaching and researching hypertension thus: “More people in this world make a living OFF hypertension than dying OF it.” Same could be said about cholesterol and sugar in healthy people. Studies have shown that drug therapy of asymptomatic high blood pressures and sugars have not benefitted the recipients but, have shown to be harmful!
