A natural therapy for children with HIV/Aids is tested at an orphanage in Thailand
Several of the orphans at the Suthatinee Noi-in Foundation's home in Yasothon - are HIV-positive. To supplement the retroviral drugs they were already taking, in May last year they were introduced to a natural therapy by Jacob Vadakkanchery, a healer from Kerala in southern India. The foundation spends Bt500,000 a month on drugs to ease the struggle of its HIV-positive children, but there are still several funerals a month. When the doctor first met the children there were four who were so weak that they weren't expected to survive more than a month. "This year, to my astonishment no one has died since the introduction of the natural therapy. The children are healthy and happy," claims the healer. "This shows that there are effective treatments against Aids," says Vadakkanchery, chairman of the Nature Life Hospital in Kerala, whose theory is based on letting the body heal itself. Along with thousands of patients with various diseases from around the world, the healer says he has also successfully treated some 500 HIV-afflicted patients in India and Cambodia. Vadakkanchery's philosophy is that drugs can do more damage than good. "Anti-retroviral drugs are more harmful than the disease," is his controversial claim. He suggests that toxins can be eliminated from the body with a diet of healthful, energising food, mainly fruit and vegetables. Coconut juice is full of nutrients and ideal for healing the body, Vadakkanchery explains. Interferons are natural proteins produced by the body in its fight against foreign agents such as viruses, parasites and tumour cells. Diet, adds the healer, is the best way to encourage this defence. "Food is your medicine - your body makes new cells out of food," says Vadakkanchery, who claims to have been disease-free for 28 years. Other treatments he recommends include yoga, exposure to morning sunlight, water therapy, mud packs and, last but not least, encouragement and support. "With enough of these, a person's chance of survival grows," he says.
