ESTABLISHMENT OF FOOD HOSPITAL-CUM-ASHRAM
Hippocratic Doctrine
More than 3000 years ago the founder of modern medicine, Hippocrates of Greece had very appropriately said: “Let Food be Thy Medicine”. To this day doctors take the Hippocratic Oath in his name after qualifying. However over the ages this golden doctrine for healthy living has lost ground to the commercial interests of Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies whose medicines liberally promoted and prescribed by the conventional doctors may alleviate the symptoms of the disease but invariably fail to remove the causes. Moreover it is accepted by the medical profession and the drug companies alike that conventional medicines often have harmful side-effects.
Causes of Lifestyle Diseases
We are generally quite hale and hearty during our childhood. As we age, our unhealthy eating habits and lack of physical exercise and sedentary life become the prime causes of obesity and most lifestyle diseases
Wrong and irregular ways of eating; faulty selection of eatables and drinks; wrong cooking and frying; excessive use of oils/fats, salt sugar and refined foods; a very rich diet; overeating; lack of activity/exercise and rest/sleep; stressful lifestyle; environmental pollution and most importantly ignorance of NATURE are the potent causes of many lifestyle diseases including obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, raised blood cholesterol levels and heart ailments. Also allopathic medicines many a time interfere with the natural bodily process of removal of accumulated waste materials from the body and fill the internal system with toxins. Those who think they have no time for healthy eating and active lifestyle will sooner rather than later have to find time for illness.
Food and Blood
It has been established by the Gandhian Goindis couple (Dr. Satyendra Singh Goindi and Dr. Gurkirpal Kaur Goindi) without any doubt that good natural food makes good blood and bad junk food makes bad blood, which is the root cause of a multiplicity of lifestyle diseases suffered by ever increasing numbers of human beings worldwide. The most simple and the basic principle of Naturo-Food Therapy is to replace the bad diseased blood with new healthy blood by consuming natural health-giving nutritional and tasty foods and beverages as a result of which overalls health improves. Foods in their natural form have immense immune-boosting and disease preventing and curing properties. A normal food plate should have rich “plant-based diets” comprising of seasonal and regional fresh fruits, vegetables and green salads (preferably organic) sprouted/germinated whole grains and cereals, a portion of nuts and carminative herbs and spices.
Resurrecting Hippocratic Doctrine
The husband and wife team of Goindis Naturo-Food Therapists have successfully resurrected the Hippocratic doctrine. For the last over four decades, they have evolved an alternative human diet based on the twin attributes of original human diet, namely easy digestibility and good taste. Taste, they say, is an important attribute of food which triggers the digestive glands to secrete digestive juices, which in turn must get easily digestible food for making good blood fortified with natural resistance power. Thus begins the cycle for good health: Good Natural Diet—> Blood with Natural Resistance Power —> Good Healthy Life
Natural Nutritional & Tasty Foods/Beverages
The Goindis, in the pursuit of their Health and Nutrition Mission, have developed numerous oil/fat-free vegetarian nutritional and tasty foods using germinated/sprouted cereals and grains. The Mission is to practically evolve cheap and nutritious foods of acceptable taste for the suffering people in general and for the under-privileged and poor sections of society in particular. The press cutting from the Times of India dated 08-06-2002 on the nest page depicts some of their natural food preparations. These foods, to name a few, include sweet/salted biscuits, cakes, dosas, sambar, pizzas, koftas, dalia, porridges, naan breads, palak and other pakoras, dahi vadas, potato chips, germinated wheat halwa, pinnies of geminated moong/chana and many more. They have also developed a new range of hot and cold beverages/sweets especially for the children, such as rose/amla sherbets, kulfi/ice-cream made from milk of seeds like that of melon. A special drink “kafita” prepared from wheat has the aroma, colour and taste of coffee but without the ill-effects of caffeine. Another unique drink which can be taken hot or cold is made from sesame seeds which gives a tea-like colour and is nutrient-rich in calcium, some vitamins and essential amino acids. They have also perfected a very tasty herbal tea powder using over two dozen ingredients.
The Times of India dated 08-06-2002 : This article portrays coloured photographs of Goindis’ tasty oil/fat-free preparations. Goindis say that their “effort is to make food nutritious, palatable, easily digestible and appealing to the taste buds and at the same time bringing out medicinal attributes of natural foods.” They emphasise that “ you are what you eat, you can’t remain healthy eating junk food.” They also point out that “Good food makes good blood and bad food causes diseases.”
Mission of Goindis Naturopathy Trust
Our Trust’s mission is to carry forward the Naturo-Food Therapy concept of healing all kinds of lifestyle human ailments holistically through natural and home-made food preparations which are nutritious, palatable, easily digested and at the same time bringing out their medicinal attributes. As you know, You are what you eat and one should mostly eat to live and not live to eat. We will also endeavour to change the food habits of children, young and senior citizens, who are rapidly being “Westernised” and “Americanised”. We cannot remain healthy by eating junk foods and beverages rich in fats/oils, salt, sugar and a host of harmful chemical additives/preservatives.
Ailments Cured with Naturo-Food Therapy
Hundreds of patients in India and abroad have been cured with unique Naturo-Food Therapy. Those cured were suffering from various ailments (some even incurable with conventional medicines) such as obesity; diabetes; high and low blood pressure; raised blood cholesterol levels; heart, liver, lungs and kidney ailments; arthritis, gout, uric acid and gangrene; thyroid, eye, ear and gynae problems; piles; varicose veins; skin diseases like psoriasis, acne; kidney and gall stones; asthma; cancer; T.B; depression, dementia, Parkinson’s disease; defective nervous system, sleep disorders, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS); anaemia; sinusitis; stomach disorders like acidity, constipation, diarrhoea; and several other diseases. Excellent success rate has been achieved when patients have adhered to the strict discipline in following the prescribed dietary regime.
Food Hospital-cum-Ashram
We, therefore, have a long term objective to establish a Food Hospital-cum-Ashram complex with boarding/lodging and other related facilities for all sections of humanity, globally, without any discrimination on grounds of race, religion, cast, creed or gender in a rural and picturesque setting. This complex should have a well-equipped kitchen for natural food preparations , facilities for exercise, yoga, meditation, seminars, conferences and an organic fruit, vegetable and herb garden.
Although, we have an ambitious plan to set up this complex but unfortunately our Trust Funds are limited. We therefore earnestly look forward to like minded public and private bodies for collaboration in undertaking this novel venture.
