Power of Subconscious Healing The automatic functions of our subconscious mind are many and they do not require any instructions from our conscious mind. It repairs our body and maintains normal working of the organs in good condition. It controls the body’s metabolism and distributes the digested food to various organs.It circulates the blood, controls the breathing, rules our memory, controls the sensory organs, controls the entire glandular system and regulates the amount of secretion which each gland releases into our blood stream. The wonderful thing about our subconscious mind is that, despite its superior power to our conscious mind,it likes to take orders from our conscious mind. Hence the power of positive suggestions about our health,when our mind is calm and quiet, will produce the necessary conditions for healing or staying healthy. Our subconscious mind is most affected by the thoughts and words we most frequently indulge in. Therefore think positive about your health.Avoid reacting to the negative news which you see and hear in the media. If you are emotionally charged then the subconscious mind takes it seriously and communicates the reflection action to the nerves and muscles incorporating its negative action in your body. One must protect the children from such violent incidents shown in TV news or movies. People with emotional or negative mental conditioning are prone to sickness.Hence think positive and act positively. Never react. Please act. |
The ultimate happiness and peace of mind will be yours if you follow these rules and can stay healthy for ever.We have started our Diabetes Camp in Jayanagar and Rajajinagar mainly due to the efforts of Mr. Suresh and Smt. Sujata Palyam.Nearly 60 people of various age groups have registered and the treatment was given in the month of February.I request all the registered members to follow the diet restrictions, exercise and medicine intake as prescribed earlier.As we keep testing the sugar levels every month, based on the progress, suggestion will be given to reduce or increase the medication. As I have been writing, the cure has to come from within and you are curing yourself.The credit for coming out of Diabetes is yours and you must spread these simple self-help techniques to the suffering population. We are also planning to call all members registered for this camp in May / June 2002 for explaining the theory of acupuncture / acupressure to cure Diabetes. Kindly call me over phone or send e-mail for any clarification regarding our mission to spread the Drugless therapies to the humanity With best wishes
Consultation by appointment only. Timings: Week Days 6 to 8 pm Sat & Sundays 9 to 11 am |
My
mother (80 years now). was diagnosed as diabetic about 10 years ago and
was under medication,diet and exercises. Though me and my spouse are
students of Dr. Bhojraj and have undergone the advance course in Acu
treatments,we did not insist my mother on acu-treatment.Having watched
my spouse Sujata, treat many people for various ailments and being benefitted,my
mother asked Sujata to give her acu-treatment for diabetes four months
back which she gladly did.The physician who has been treating her for the
past 3 years,was surprised to see the steady level of blood sugar in her
for the past three months despite her age and limited outward movements
and was appreciative of she being taken care well at home.On February 5,
2002, the physician advised my mother to reduce by half all medication
since her blood sugar level was well under control.
My mother was taking Duotrol (3 tablets a day before food), some vitamin tablets and Stamase 250 mg.We thank Dr. Bhojraj for his guidance and training in this most effective Drugless Therapy.
One
of my colleague’s mother was having knee pain for quite some time and she
had already undergone almost all treatments;allopathic, ayurveda, homeopathic
available under our health scheme but could not get cured.Mr. Murugan
wanted to try acupressure therapy for his mother and since he knew
that I have been propagating these simple healing techniques to my friends
and colleagues in Nagarkoil.He contacted me in our office to know the points.
The
Acupressure Newsletter November 2001, contained
an article on different types of fever and how to cure with the
acupressure by activating the points without taking medications.I was really
wondering whether it would work for fever.
My
husband Maj.Gen.Uberoi encouraged me to attend Dr.Bhojraj’s classes since
he firmly believes in the cure with our own healing mechanism.I attended
the advance course conducted in Cluney Convent,Malleswaram in 1995 and
I have been practicing Acupressure techniques for headache,back
pain etc,and found very useful. Very recently the advantages of attending
Acupressure course was very evident when my husband complained about
tooth ache and he had to attend a conference for two days. His pain was
visible on the face and he had no time to consult a dentist for the cure.
I immediately thought that I must try Acupressure technique for tooth ache
and referring the advance book, I activated K-3, K-7and K-10.Within few
minutes I could observe the change on his face and his pain subsided within
30 minutes.He attended the conference without any pain and for last 10
days,till I write this letter,he never complained about tooth ache. Anyhow,
I recommended him to see the dentist at his earliest.My husband was
so happy with the results and he asked
me to put on record for the benefit of all readers. Thank you Sir,
for your training and advance book.

The Case Histories reproduced here are from previous issues of ACCUPRESSURE NEWSLETTER for the benefit of those undergoing treatment for Diabetes.
After two sittings, he checked his sugar level and the Fasting was 108, PPBS :138 (in September 2001).
Now he takes half tablet only.He is still walking 5 to 6 kms every day and he follows diet.He occasionally takes sweets also.My husband and myself are very grateful to Dr. Bhojraj.
Course Director’s comment : This letter from Mrs. Nalini Gopal inspired me for a proper scientific study of Diabetes.
Though
my blood sugar was under control with tablets, after coming to Bangalore,
it became very high. I used to feel very tired and I could not even climb
the stares to my class. After attending the introductory lecture on Acupressuer,
I started practicing oil pulling, acupressure and reflexology. Within a
week I could reach the third floor of our building without any difficuilty.
After the end of the course. I just checked for the sugar level which showed
normal reading to my surprise.
My vision which was affected before I attended the course has improved.My memory which was diminishing is almost reversed and I can easily feel that my memory has improved.
Thanks to Acupressure.The course was something beyond my imagination. I feel very lucky to get the chance to attend this elaborate one month course.
Once
I had fever and the fever was not cured with antipyretic tablets.I was
asked to check for blood sugar which showed 48 mg/dl instead of the
normal 80 mg/dl.I was following only diet and exercise for quite some time
as suggested by our doctor.My wife suggested me to meet Mr. Bhojraj.After
doing the pulse diagnosis,two points in the palm were activated by him.After
a month I checked my blood sugar which has become normal.
When I got the results of the blood sugar it was a surprise for me.Frankly I have not done any acupressure afterwards. But some sort of changes I have observed in my health after the diagnosis and treatment by Mr. Bhojraj.
Five
years back in the year 1994,I was asked to go through a routine medical
check-up meant for the executives after 40 years as a preventive measure.It
was detected that my fasting blood sugar level was 105 mg/dl and post-pradinal
was about 150 mg/dl which was considered slightly above normal.Though I
was not advised to take any medicines,I was asked to stop sugar intake
and doctor advised me to start daily walking for an hour.
I was also advised regular check-up for sugar levels.The sugar level used to vary depending on the food espically during the marriage season.In 1998,my urine sugar was detected as 0.5.At this stage,I heard about the Acupressure cure and contacted Mr. Bhojraj for treatment since I was also posted at ISAC.
He did the pulse diagnosis and activated the points once in a month for the first six months and asked me to continue general massage on the palms with rollers for 5 minutes along with walking exercise. Recently I checked my sugar level and it indicated almost normal and urine sugar was nil according to the report.Earlier I used to feel weak and now I feel more energitic.My general health is improved. It is a very good experience for me to state that we can keep the sugar level under control without tablets if detected at the early stage.I thank Mr. Bhojraj for his Acupressure technique which has given wonderful results to many of my collegues.
| Diabetes.........
By
Dr. H. Bhojraj
Primarily the pancreas produces less insulin and insulin is essential for utilising the sugar (glucose) for burning in the cell to produce energy. In lay man’s language, insulin is a chemical messenger which should reach the cell to open the gate for sugar (glucose) to enter inside the cell. As per the present understanding, pancreas does not secrete enough insulin to burn the sugar in the cells. Thus as the digestive process produces more sugar, the blood sugar increases and at a particular level it would be rejected by kidney into the urine. Sugar in the urine indicates the glucose level in the blood is higher than the requirement. * Excessive thirstRare Symptoms of Diabetes include : * Change in visionIf the glucose level is more than 140 mg/100 ml or more than 200 mg/100 ml after 2 hours of taking food,essentially it indicates Diabetic tendency. 1. Essential Diabetes A.
Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus ( IDDM) or Type I
2. Secondary Diabetes * Pancreatic3. Gestational * Glucose tolerance abnormality related to pregnancy.4. Associated with certain genetic syndromes. If untreated,diabetic may lead to Diabetic coma in Type 1 or infections in skin,respiratory tract,urinary tract or gastrointestinal system due to lower resistance power in the body in acute condition.In chronic condition it can lead to heart problem, cerebrovascular problems,eye complications, renal problems and neurological problems.
If the insulin intake is more than the required dose, the sugar level can go below 80 mg/dl and hypoglycaemia can cause various symptoms depending on the sugar level.In such emergency, sugar should be taken immediately to overcome the problem For
any form of diabetic, proper education about the disease, diet counselling,
regular exercise, stress free life, emotional support are recommended by
the Doctors.

In acupuncture theory,the pancreas is the gland controlled by spleen.Spleen is one of the Yin organs connected by Acupuncture meridian (Fig.1) starting from the outer side of the big toe and ending near spleen.First thing what we have to recognize is that there is a close connection between spleen and pancreas. Although the malfunction of the pancreas is the root cause of the problem in diabetes,we should look into why the pancreas stops working and stope secreting insulin. In few cases there is a possibility that the pancreas underperforms due to its inherent weakness but in majority of the cases, this is not the reason for diabetes. Infact,signals from the spleen stimulate the pancreas.As soon as we place the food on our tongue,the taste is absorbed by the tongue,which charges the spleen and the spleen immediately sends signals to the pancreas to secrete insulin for taking care of the food which follows. If the spleen is weakened, by not chewing and absorbing the taste of the food, the spleen will not stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin in sufficient quantity for digesting the food.As the food digestion involves other vital organs too, depending on the weakness of these organs, the symptoms of diabetes will surface.For instance,spleen weakness will produce excessive thirst,stomach weakness will produce excessive hunger,liver weakness will produce whole body pain,small intestine will produce burning sensation on the foot/palms,bladder weakness will produce excessive urination,kidney weakness produces impotence and lung weakness will produce itching of the skin.Liver weakness affects the eyes in particular. Diabetic retinopathy is mainly due to liver weakness.If the liver is activated with acupuncture points, not only overall digestion improves but we can avoid diabetic retinopathy also.Even though sugar level is kept under control,the side effects are seen in diabetic patients mainly due to continuous stimulation of the pancreas with tablets. Now the point is, how to bring back the digestive system to the optimum level with acupuncture. For a proven diabetic patient, initially the spleen point Sp-3 (Fig. 2) or Sp-6 (Fig. 3) is stimulated since it controls the pancreas. Along with this, Liver is also charged by stimulating Liv-1 (Fig. 4).   In
our Diabetic Camp,initially these four points are
Since the stimulation mechanism is controlled by your subconscious mind,generate positive thoughts in your mind and try sincerely, these self help techniques to overcome diabetes. Continue your medication,exercise and diet control as earlier and check your sugar levels after a month.If it shows significant improvement,the medication can be further reduced based on the recommendations of your diabetic specialist. The Diabetic Camp members are recommended to consult reputed diabetic research hospitals like DIACON, where the Diabetic specialists will guide you for the reduction of medication. (For

/Acupressure Research on Diabetes
By
P. Suresh, Programme Coordinator
For over two years now,we have been treating many types of ailments by the Drugless method after having undergone the advance course in Acupuncture/Acupressure conducted by Dr.H.Bhojraj.Looking to the immense potential of this DRUGLESS method,me and my spouse Sujata,–after having experienced personally the usefulness of the drugless therapies – decided to popularise this drugless therapy.This Acupressure / Acupuncture therapy being painless, effective, least-cost and above all easy to be follow (without any side effects),is perhaps most beneficial to us. Though there are several ailments,particularly of the age-factor related,which can be addressed by this drugless method,it was the cases of several very young people–some even at the age of 3 years–declared diabetic and advised lifelong medication,prompted us to do something which has far reaching benefits.Hence the Diabetes Camp was conceived.Apart from treating the patients,needless to say the importance of buildup of the data base to prove more scientifically the advantages of the drugless therapies.We are certainly grateful to Dr. Bhojraj for accepting our proposal immediately when we mentioned to him of our thoughts.Thus the process started in Late January 2002.We are certainly grateful to the media persons,particularly the print media (a couple of them reproduced here),who came forward to include our efforts as a news item.The response was so spontaneous and widely appreciated,we started getting calls even as early as 7-30 am on the days the news item appeared.We received calls from places like Mysore,Tumkur......We were requested by a caller from Mandya to start the camp at that place as many diabetic patients were keen on this drugless method. Needless to say our limitations.We have now decided to limit the number of cases to about 100. The Camp was started on February 17, 2002 in Jayanagar and in Rajajinagar on February 23, The Camp will be continued the whole year.
Presently the Camp (apart form our regular treatments),is being conducted at Rajajinagar and Jayanagar.The Rajajinagar Camp will be at No. 1963, 8th Main Road,‘E’ Block, Rajajinagar II Stage,Bangalore - 560 010. Tel : 332 6552.The Jayanagar Camp is at No. 598, 11th Main, 5th Block, Jayanagar, Bangalore - 560 041. Tel : 6644 012.The treatment will be given on Sundays once a month and the exact dates will be published in the newsletter.People are requested to seek appointments for treatment. It is necessary that those enrolled for the Camp bring with them every month the Blood analysis reports along with the medication, dosages, diet and exercises they are following. It may also be noted that though the Camp is aimed at Diabetes, those enrolled will be treated for other ailments also. An identity card indicating the member’s name, Camp center and dates treated will be given to each member.We urge the members to keep this card as a record for future use.
We solicit cooperation from all quarters to popularise the DRUGLESS therapies.
Introductory course on Acupressure will be conducted by Dr.H.Bhojraj during 2nd Week of April. 2002 for 5 days (Evenings) in Jayanagar. For details, please contact
