Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury launches book titled When Cure is Crime…

Dr. Biswaroop Roy

New Delhi, September 29, 2023: Hospitals and Institute of Integrated Medical Sciences (HIIMS) held a highly anticipated press conference at the LTG Auditorium in New Delhi on Thursday. The event marked the launch of book titled “When Cure is Crime,” authored by the renowned expert in integrated medical sciences, Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury.

The conference was honored by the presence of Shri Ashwini Upadhyay, Advocate, Supreme Court of India – ‘PIL Man of India,’ who shared his profound insights on the convergence of law and healthcare. Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury, a prominent figure in the realm of integrated medicine, shared with audience the remarkable case studies that showcased patients who have achieved freedom from Dialysis (CKD), Insulin (Diabetes Type 1), and Blood Transfusion (Thalassemia) through innovative and unconventional medical approaches. The event served as a platform for attendees to gain profound insights into revolutionary medical breakthroughs that challenge conventional healthcare norms.

The highlight of the event was the unveiling of Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury’s latest book, “When Cure is Crime.” This book promises to reshape our understanding of healthcare by shedding light on unconventional treatments that have successfully transformed the lives of patients. Dr. Chowdhury’s book offers a fresh perspective on the possibilities of medical science, challenging the status quo and inspiring a new wave of thought in the healthcare community.

Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury said, “Even though we got our freedom in 1947, we’re still too dependent on foreign medicines today. Medicines have become a big part of our lives, but it’s important to know that the laws about medicines, called the Drugs and Medicine Act, were made by the British a long time ago. Now, these laws are stopping us from using our own ancient Indian health methods, which can often work better than modern medicines. In my new book, I want to share this knowledge with all my patients who’ve gotten better using GRAD (Gravitational Resistance and Diet). In the book, you’ll find QR codes that you can scan to see detailed medical reports, proving that these methods really work. GRAD, which includes things like hot water treatments, has helped cure problems like chronic kidney disease and both types of diabetes. In the book, my patients, both young and old, share their stories of getting better, showing that true health freedom is possible.”

Acharya Manish Ji, founder of HIIMS, gathered attention over the importance of embracing traditional methods for treating various types of diabetes, citing a report that highlights the potential of such approaches. He also underscored the need for a transformative change in the education system, advocating for the compulsory inclusion of Ayurvedic studies in every school curriculum across India. He urged students to learn about Ayurveda, and he called upon the government to take action in making this vital knowledge accessible to all.

Shri Ashwini Upadhyay, Advocate, Supreme Court of India – ‘PIL Man of India,‘ echoed these sentiments, adding, “The existing Drugs and Magic Remedies Act of 1954 needs a thorough reevaluation. If the government doesn’t take the necessary steps, I am prepared to challenge it in court. Our healthcare system should embrace our traditional methods and provide them the recognition they deserve.”

He further emphasized, “Modern medicine, while effective in many ways, can sometimes be a destructive system. Naturopathy, with its focus on natural remedies and holistic approaches, should be promoted as the primary health treatment system.”

Dr. Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury made a compelling presentation, sharing his extensive research and the success stories of his patients who have experienced remarkable recoveries through unconventional medical methods. Attendees were provided with a unique opportunity to engage directly with the author during interviews and Q&A sessions, gaining a deeper understanding of his groundbreaking research and the transformative potential of integrated medicine.

TIFF partners with the SSA to Support Universal Access to Sports and Physical Activity

TIFF partners with the SSA

Bengaluru, 29th September 2023: The Isaac Family Foundation, a philanthropic organisation created by the Founder & Chairman of Quess Corp, Mr. Ajit Isaac, announced its partnership with the Sports and Society Accelerator (SSA) at an event jointly hosted by both organisations at the Bangalore International Center (BIC). With a commitment to fostering universal access to sports and physical activity by 2047, this partnership is backed by a contribution of INR 3.5 crores by Mr. Ajit Isaac, which will be disbursed over a period of three years. This aims to expand SSA’s research, policy, and program initiatives to ensure every Indian, both young and old, leads an active and healthy life.

The event’s main focus was on highlighting the importance of physical activity and fitness. The panel discussion was titled, ‘Why Physical Activity Matters’, and it featured icons and stalwarts like Swetha Subbiah (Co-Founder, Sisters in Sweat), Saumil Majmudar (Co-founder & Group CEO, SportzVillage), Anisha Padukone (CEO, The Live Love Laugh Foundation), and Dilip Kumar (Marathoner and Investments, Rainmatter Foundation).

Speaking on the collaboration, Mr Ajit Isaac said, “A measure of society’s success lies in its ability to uplift those at the periphery and integrate them into the mainstream. This perspective has been the driving force behind the Foundation’s efforts to identify and support those who face disadvantages. Sports fosters discipline, teamwork, and resilience in children, moulding them into well-rounded individuals ready to face life’s challenges. For adults, it is the key to longevity, vitality, and mental well-being. Investing in sports initiatives inspires a culture of fitness, inclusivity, and aspiration. Through this commitment, we can build healthier bodies and stronger communities, where physical vitality is cherished as a cornerstone of a fulfilling life.”

Commenting on the occasion, Mr. Desh Gaurav Sekhri, Co-founder SSA, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Ajit Issac to SSA’s Founder’s Circle of grantors. We are proud to have him as an anchor donor, and through his contribution, we aim to deliver the social and economic value of sport and physical activity to every Indian. Sports and physical activity should be treated as a preventive health measure that has the power to create a social impact and should be considered a national priority. Through such donations, we have catalyzed positive change, breaking down barriers to access and enhancing the quality of life for countless individuals.”

The event was organized as a part of the Mission 100 initiative by SSA. Mission 100 aims to achieve universal physical activity in India by 2047, the centenary of India’s independence. It seeks to create a paradigm shift where physical activity becomes a form of self-care, fostering good health and effective leadership. The primary beneficiary of the INR 3.5 Cr would be the general public involved, specifically those interested in physical activity. SSA also works with State and Central Governments to define sports-related policies. Through its initiatives such as the Active India Innovation Lab, SSA also provides policy and capacity support to NGOs. SSA’s Founder’s Circle of Grantors also includes industry stalwarts like Mr. Ashish Dhawan, CEO of The Convergence Foundation. The first edition of the ‘State of Play’ report on physical activity and sport in India is set to be published in February 2024.

SIAM’s Society

Mumbai, 28th September 2023: To outline strategies for the next step towards creating a lasting impact on safe driving habits, road discipline, and the overall safety of vehicles and roads, the Society for Automotive Fitness & Environment (SAFE), an initiative by SIAM, organized its “24th Edition of SAFE Annual Convention 2023” today in Guwahati, Assam. Centered on the theme – “SAFE Roads, SAFE India: Strategies for Ensuring Safer Transportation”, the event witnessed the presence of many dignitaries discussing road safety and how it can be boosted in India.

On the Occasion of the 24th SAFE Annual Convention 2023, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Assam, Dr Himanta Biswa Sarma, in his message, mentioned that “The Indian automobile industry plays a vital role in our nation’s growth and, as it continues to thrive, it presents us with an opportunity to address road safety challenges. In Assam, we have taken steps like identifying accident hotspots, awareness drives, and emergency care strategies to address this. We are intensifying awareness against drink and driving, over speeding, and promoting helmet use, along with increasing highway patrolling. There is a need for a culture of Safety, wherein Education will play a major role. Our efforts also extend to constructing bus and truck bays, removing encroachments on national highways, and prioritising preparedness strategies. I commend SIAM and wish them success for their ‘Surakshit Safar’ and ‘SAFE’ initiatives towards safer transport systems.”

Considering that the majority of accidents in Assam involve ‘dumpers’ and 2-wheelers, riders must prioritise safety by wearing helmets.

In doing so, we can collectively contribute to a safer and more responsible road environment.”

Extensive IEC campaigns, regular road safety audits, and state-regulated speed limits are in place. Assam has introduced 50 contactless services for licensing and vehicle registration, simplified registration processes, digitalised DL and RC, and implemented a comprehensive vehicle scrappage policy, among other measures to make vehicle-related services more accessible and user-friendly for the public.”

Decoding The Mystery Behind 3, 6 & 9

Unlocking the Secrets of Human Existence, Spirituality, and Consciousness

New Delhi, 25th September, 2023: Renowned global spiritual healer and thinker, Hitesh Chakraworty, has announced the launch of his groundbreaking book, titled “Decoding the Mystery of 3, 6 & 9.” This highly anticipated work delves into the profound depths of human consciousness, shedding light on the enigmatic interplay between family conscience, group dynamics, and the path to true self-discovery.
Nikola Tesla, the visionary inventor, was once known for coining the mystery surrounding the numbers 3, 6, and 9. Inspired by Tesla’s insights, Hitesh Chakraworty embarked on extensive research and experimentation with these numbers. His relentless pursuit has led to the unraveling of a hidden mystery, and through his new book, he aims to share his findings with mankind.

Beyond the intricate web of family conscience and societal dynamics, Chakraworty’s revelations unveil a captivating narrative of encounters with beings from dimensions beyond our own. These revelations stem from Chakraworty’s firsthand experiences, providing an intriguing glimpse into the vast diversity of existence. Through personal accounts of venturing into their dimensions, he unravels the complexities of these interactions, shedding light on the challenges and insights they entail.

As Chakraworty navigates the uncharted waters of cosmic encounters, readers will get to contemplate the intricacies of these connections. His revelations prompt a reevaluation of humanity’s place in the universe and challenge conventional perspectives on life, existence, and the realms that lie beyond.

In “Decoding the Mystery of 3, 6 & 9,” Hitesh Chakraworty also reveals a startling revelation – the human mind, which is intrinsically connected to the source of human existence, operates in an unconscious state due to the influence of family and group conscience. By unraveling the mysteries hidden within the numbers 3, 6, and 9, Chakraworty demonstrates that transcending the constraints of the mind can lead to liberation from the cycles of life and death.

Hitesh Chakraworty’s profound insights are accompanied by a poignant understanding of societal dynamics. He explores how the experiences of women, including hatred, violence, abuse, inequality, and injustice, contribute to creating a depressive environment in both society and nature. Chakraworty’s book presents a thought-provoking perspective on the interconnectedness of human emotions and the environment we inhabit.

According to Hitesh Chakraworty, “The journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening is a deeply personal one. We must look within ourselves to unlock the mysteries of our existence and find true freedom. My book aims to guide readers on this transformative journey, offering insights that challenge conventional wisdom and open the doors to a higher understanding of life.”

Hailing from India, Hitesh Chakraworty is a revered Global Spiritual Healer who has seamlessly integrated his vast experience into the realms of healing and wellness. Formerly a corporate professional, Chakraworty’s quest for deeper meaning led him to explore the mysteries of spirituality. His journey culminated in the creation of “Decoding the Mystery of 3,6 & 9,” a testament to his unwavering dedication to unlocking the secrets of human consciousness.

“Decoding the Mystery of 3, 6 & 9” is poised to become a cornerstone in the realm of spiritual literature, guiding readers towards a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them. For those seeking enlightenment and a fresh perspective on human existence, this book is a must-read. The book is available on Amazon, Flipkart, and NotionPress.com. It’s also accessible in 130 countries, including the US and UK, priced at INR 1500 and $45, respectively.
