No doubt, longevity has increased by virtue of allopathy.In India the life span was 30 years before independence[1947] and now it increased to 62 years.Surgical interference, food and nutrition, pre/post natal care, antibiotics/broad spectrum antibiotics, artificial insulin and hormonal preparations,organ-transplantation have contributed immensely for the survival of the mankind. If one wants to pursue Allopathic medical education, one has to study for 10 years after Intermediate [MBBS., - 4.5 years + Houseman ship -1 year + P.G. – 2 years + Super-Specialist – 2 years} and spend huge sums of money in a private Medical College. MBBS – Rs.75.00 lac, PG-Rs.1.00 crore for Radiology, Super-specialist another Rs.50.00 lac. The subject of study is very wide and deep not only into the cell but also into the genes. After completion of super-specialist course, starting a hospital/nursing home one has to invest as much as Rs.3.00 crores for the building, infra-structure, Para-medical staff, rent, interest on borrowed funds, maintenance, etc. It is a herculean task for an allopath to invest, to study and to work hard for results and economic viability of his venture. An allopath takes unlimited risk to treat critical cases and he is capable to postpone death too. An allopath is as good as the God, in so far as his ability to act as a SAVIOUR of the mankind is concerned. High costs is sine quo non due to the several factors cited.It naturally impacts the exhequer.
In view of high cost of education, investment in diagnostic equipment and huge investment in machinery to treat a disease condition, salaries to medical and Para-medical staff, building, interest on borrowed funds, the treatment procedures look to be exorbitant and outside the reach of the common man. Either the Government should support the private health-care industry with subsidies, grants, concessions, reimbursements to treat the poor under the Govt.’s programmes like ‘RAJIV AROGYASREE’ or the allopaths may open-up their mindsets to new inventions in Acupressure/Acupuncture,Ayurveda, Yoga/Meditation,Nature Cure, Herbal Remedies, etc.,etc. But,Dr.Devedra Vora, the pioneer in Acupressure in India has found a solution to bring down the costs and with no side effects. Acupressure techniques can be very handy to diagnose, instantaneously, any disease condition including diabetes.
