	22 Jul 2020	#26 Why many Incurable Diseases will become History and the Future of Healthcare is Promising with Kulreet Chaudhary	01:03:10
After getting so many amazing feedbacks from so many of you about my last podcast with Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary, I am delighted to welcome her back in today’s episode. This time we are talking about different healing approaches, how they can be integrated with one another, and why it is worth looking into the future of healthcare with a positive mind. Some of the highlights of today’s talk are: The reason why in western medicine over 80% of the diseases are of unknown origin. How Newtonian laws in physics influenced western medicine into developing a reductionist method rather than a holistic integrative approach of healing. Understanding the 5 sheaths of our body and how all are interconnected when it comes to being healthy. The concept of water memory by Benveniste, a reputable French scientist, and how this could change the future of healing many incurable diseases. Understanding the concept of Akasha or Ether which connects everything in the universe. How to use Mantras and Sound for connecting with the Akasha. Why the future of healthcare is promising and how many incurable diseases can become history by integrating ancient healing wisdom and western medicine. Dr. Kulreet Chaudhary’s combined expertise in both modern neurology and ancient science of health, known as Ayurveda, has uniquely positioned her as an expert able to pull from the broadest possible base to treat her clients. She is passionate about raising awareness for the need for a paradigm shift in contemporary medicine that focuses on patient empowerment and a health-based (rather than disease-based) medical system. Dr. Chaudhary is a regular guest on the Dr. Oz Show, where her teachings about ayurvedic medicine have been applauded by a national audience. She is the author of The Prime and Sound Medicine and has appeared as a medical expert on numerous programs including Home & Family.
