The Heart Has Its Own Reasons

The Heart has its own reasons, that the human head knows not by Blaise Pascal. When the mathematical genius, the Jesuit priest called Blaise Pascal arrived at the above axiom, he presaged modern medicine’s glorious ignorance about a malady commoner than greying of hair - loftily called Ischemic Heart Disease. As of today in the beginning of the 3rd year of the 3rd millennium, allopathy and all other pathies are unconscionably ignorant of the cause, course and cure of IHD.
To borrow Churchillian words, the human heart is a mystery wrapped by the puzzle inside an enigma. By the 4th week IUL, when the embryonic plate was just formed, the developing heart is the first to exhibit itself by an inbuilt throb. The cardiac tubes then create twins and turns, shunts and partitions, strings and valves and presto, create an indefatigable pump that will (ideally) beat 72 times a minute, 100,000 times a day and 4000,000,000 times in a lifetime of 100 years: Bravo, in the 100 years of top class unflagging service, it would work (contract) for 33 years, and literally relax (dilate) for 66 years. Even the cardiologists themselves have not learnt from the human heart how to relax and not chase the filthy lucre all the time.
Be as it may, all the animal torture in the name of heart research has not taken modern medicine beyond confused embryology /anatomy/physiology and carpentorial closure of septal defects and valve – replacement. About IHD medicine knows nothing and yet is predictably, able to confuse the bewildered common man.
Cause of IHD:
Less said the better. There are now nearly 300 "predisposing"
factors ranging from sex to sunshine, each such learned propositions arriving to
botch up the gheeless meal with drops of saffola and scares the couple at night
at time of androgenic flush. It’s a jungle of proscriptions and atrocious
prescriptions. The celebrated (but magnificently wasteful) Current Medical
Diagnosis and Treatment (Lange, California), retouched and republished every
year in yet costlier form, confesses that cholesterol–lowering
"strangely" increases the mortality. Was it not Prof J S Bajaj of
AIIMS who declared that IHD in India has shot up after Indians abjured cow-given
ghee and took to man made cholesterol-lowering poisons?
Course of IHD:
People with bad ECG survive the doctor. Normal coronary angiogram
meets a sudden death, and "totally" blocked epicardial vessels allow
the man to live into his eighties as revealed "incidentally" at a PM
done for non-cardiac death. The revered pioneer cardiologist Rustom Jal Vakil,
awarded Lasker prize for work on sarpagandha, at the fag end of his life,
confessed that the ECG machine (and now of course the angiogram) has done far
more harm to hassled mankind than even the atom bomb. The latest unliftable
turns, twists the heart, now in its impressive 10th
edition of 2001, admits that people granted clean cardiac chit, collapse and
those doomed by medical prognosis join the condolence meeting of the
cardiologists who had so predicted their death. A 400 page treatise on ICCU
concluded that not one investigation reveals what the human heart will do,
except saying that LUBB spells life, it’s DUBB, the next LUBB is at the
pleasure of God, or cosmos in case you are still an atheist.
Cure of IHD:
All drugs, like in cancer, deprive coronaries of precious blood, by
reducing the preload/stroke volume/ after load. Angioplasty/bypass rapes an
innocent, virginal coronary field in a 1000 monstrous ways to pave way for
shortened life, brain damage of sorts, and AIDS - Angioplasty Induced Defiant
Stenosis. After 46 years of bypass and 36 of angioplasty, nobody has lived ½
hour longer as compared to the non-so-treated. The start is a travesty; for it
lead-pipes every artery into which it is put, to occasion a new set of diseases
called Malignant Instant Restonsis.
The best summing up of the current cardiologic scene is Sulman Rushdie’s caustic comment in Satanic Verses, about a consultant visiting a rich man in Walkeshwar. The doctor, clad in a 3-piece suit in the sweltering heat of Mumbai, was "dripping with self-esteem". Have not the 6-figure fees of the cardiac field perverted the whole fee structure through and through?
By the way, what MIASMA will homoeopathy invoke, and what REPERTOIRE it will employ, and why?
