HEALER NATARAJ

JOURNEY OF A PATIENT FROM SURVIVOR TO  HEALER

One of my friends asked this question “Why You call yourself as healer?” This really provoked my thought process and I got several answers during my internal search.

There is a quote by Steve Jobs that “You cannot connect the dots looking forward, but it is easier to connect the dots looking backwards”

I will try to connect my Dots by looking backwards.. J

That is my first dot.

I am basically a B.Tech Bio technology graduate. In that I studied

•  Cell Biology
•  Organic Chemistry
•  Genetics
•  Microbiology
•  Enzyme Engineering and Technology
•  Animal Biotechnology 

Cell biology where in which I understood how the cells of our body communicate with each other, how the signals are from one cell to the other cell within micro seconds.

From organic chemistry, I understood the bio chemical reactions that are happening inside the body, I also understood how the carbohydrates and proteins that we eat are being broken in to simple molecular substances like disaccharides (fructose), monosaccharides (Glucose), and amino acids.

Like this the several subjects from my basic engineering degree made me understand the beautiful creation of the nature called Homo sapiens.

I did my final year project in designing the molecular structure of protein that is responsible for curing a type of cancer. I understood how the mutated DNA will function in a cancerous cell and what are the signals responsible for automatic cell death.

The Second Dot: The Cruelty of Cancer and How I overcame it… J

After some years I had a lump near my right neck, I had a surgery and an amateur doctor analyzed the biopsy and wrongly diagnosed it to be TB. I started taking medicines for TB and my health was deteriorating day by day. The stupidity of the money minded amateur doctor reflected in my body. That was the turning point in my life. Multiple lumps started originating in my body. I went to a physician in Chennai.  He doubted that I might have cancer and guided me to the right doctor leading to the right diagnosis of the disease, blood cancer.

The cancer was at the final stage. Initially when I met the amateur doctor, I was at stage one, later the TB drugs that he gave me added fuel to the fire, it deteriorated my immune system and I was then at stage four. The cancer had already spread to small intestine and lungs. I was totally collapsed at the age of 25 that too at the beginning of my career I was diagnosed with cancer, pathetic.

Those who underwent cancer treatment will accept the fact that treatment for cancer is more miserable then cancer by itself. Taking my health in one hand and career in other hand I need to balance myself in a single rope and move forward towards a bright future. I should go for chemotherapy twice a month. I plan my chemo on Saturday and Sunday and after chemo I have to take rest on Monday and Tuesday and will start taking class from Wednesday.  Apart from medicines and treatment it’s the mindset of the patient that will help him to get rid of the disease. I was confident that I can come out of the disease easily.

The understanding about cancer gave me the courage to get out of cancer and doctors were astonished seeing my recovery.  After one and half years of rigorous treatment I became normal. Later life becomes easier for me. Because comparing with the giant cancer and struggles I underwent to relieve myself from the clutches of death everything other problem that I faced in my life seem to be too little.

The Third Dot: Studying Doctor of Medicine in Acupuncture.. 

For some days I was under the observation of this Alopathic doctors, they certified that I am cancer free and fit to live in that world but still I did not get answer for my question, Why I developed cancer?.. I could not get any answer from google,

The search engines and the doctors gave funny answers for my question that being a man increases the risk of developing blood cancer by 15%, being in the age group 20 – 29 increases the risk of cancer by 20%.  Being a man or being at that age group is not my fault,

The cruelty of the cancer survivors is that, there is a considerable chance of getting the cancer again and it will be more severe than the first one. To stop this I wanted to know the answer for my question “Why Did I develop Cancer? That was disturbing my sleep for several years..

I could not get the answer easily. I was then introduced to a good Acupuncture Doctor through my friend (remember there are several alternative therapist, but it is difficult to identify a good doctor who is not money minded). First I did not believe in that treatment, how come piercing needle in our body cures the disease, but my instinct said that I will get answer for my question. I started taking the treatment and I could feel healthy after each and every acupuncture treatment.

Because of the curiosity towards my question I started studying Acupuncture and understood that the reason that I developed cancer is not because of my gender and age but because of unhealthy life style, that includes improper methods of eating food, improper methods of drinking water, not having quality sleep, improper breathing and not balancing the food intake and physical exercise.

I started practicing acupuncture and now I am in a position to cure persons having chronic disease like diabetics, blood pressure, back pain, knee pain, sinus, ulcer, fatty liver, kidney stones, veezing and so on.

Eurekha, I Found the answer to my question ………….:)

The Fourth Dot: Marriage and Children for a Cancer Survivor.

This happened before my discovery of acupuncture treatment.

After several years of my initial cancer treatment, I went for a semen analysis and the report was negative, the doctors said, I could physically satisfy any women but it is difficult for me to father a child. But the allopathy doctors were very clear, they said that “At the age of 25 our primary motive is to save your life had you informed us already we could have preserved your semen for future purpose.  Now we are helpless and you should accept the fact that you cannot father a child”. It was a great shock to me and I literally cried.

Later I stopped worrying about it and started to live my life happily. I started making jokes towards my friends who got married. I thought of being independent and continue the rest of my life as a bachelor. But when man proposes, god disposes, my mother started worrying about my future. I could not convince my mother. I accepted for marriage L

I thought of getting married at my late 20’s and started searching for a spouse. The society is having a bad opinion towards the survivors, the society will show pity on us and give consoling words, but when we ask a spouse for marriage, even after stating the fact that we are healthy and fit to lead a marriage life, the society will deny. I tried in several means I registered my name in matrimony, I informed my friends and relatives, I informed the marriage brokers and I informed neighbors, but there is no progress. I was very clear and adamant about one thing that, “I will inform my spouse about my cancer and will also state that now I am leading a healthy life”

Earlier there is a great demand for the bride grooms, but now a days since girls are earning equally compared to men, the demand for the brides is heavy and the sex ratio added fuel to the fire for every 1000 man in India, there are only 920 women. What a pity…. :D

Being a man, being a cancer survivor, I found it very difficult to get a spouse for me. Later one of my cousins accepted to marry me. At that time I completed my Doctor of Medicine in Acupuncture and I know how to cure my infertility problem and I stated it to my fiancé.

Later we lived happily and soon after one month of our marriage life, she got pregnant. That was my happiest moment in life. Later I guided her about the do’s and don’ts during pregnancy. Since cancer is a hereditary disease, I was very particular that my child should not get it.

During ten months of her pregnancy, she did not even take a single tablet, I said no even to vitamin tablets and iron tablets and she also trusted me and followed the same. Our baby grew naturally for ten months and I was ready to take care of the delivery of my baby. But the parents of my wife denied, they took her to hospital for delivery. The allopathy doctor who took care of delivery has also studied acupuncture and she accepted my request of delivering our baby in a natural manner, this video is a brain child of it.

Later god gifted us with a healthy baby boy and all our family members and well-wishers are happy about it.

I believe in the fact that titles or positions will never fancy me. But for the people to understand that I am doing something good related to medical field, healer is a better title that suits me. I think these four dots make me eligible to call myself as Healer Nataraj… J and waiting for several other dots to get connected in the future.
