irmala Reddy, Kurnool: I’m 63 years old,

other than high blood pressure, I didn’t have

any health issues. For the blood pressure, I

had been taking tablets from very long time.

Last year, when I had a complete health check-up,

we found that my blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid

and cholesterol levels were not normal. So the

doctors put me on medication. This resulted in a

daily dose of various types of tablets.

Later my son read on many health websites that

taking large amounts of particular medications can

cause harm to the function of the kidneys in the long

term. This was compounded by the fact that my

son’s friend’s father, had to go for a kidney transplant

because he was taking medication for diabetes and

high blood pressure for many years. Even the man’s

doctors who prescribed them, suggested that long

term medication could be the cause

This incident was alarming for us; we began

searching for alternative treatments. During

this search, my son found out about another

friend, whose in-laws had tried Dr. Saravanan’s

holistic natural approach - using diet - and were

completely relieved from their medication.

This prompted us to meet with Dr. Saravanan

for a consultation. The session was very helpful

and educative. He explained in a detailed way

how certain dietary changes may be benefi cial.

The diet he prescribed was a simple ‘whole grain-

plant based diet’ with no oil and refi ned foods.

While many people consider this diet extreme, the

process simply involved replacing our existing food

with those compatible with this diet.

Within a couple of weeks, my health readings came

back to normal. Now it’s been six months that my

levels are completely normal and I am relieved

from all my medications except for thyroid, which

the doctor said will take further time to subside.

A positive bonus to this experience was that my

husband’s blood pressure and diabetes levels also

returned to normal simply by partaking in the

same dietary habits - without going through any

consultation.
