After gaining three years of medical experience at Ram Krishna Mission Hospital, Dr. Uday Shah* came to a profound realization about the limitations of allopathic medicine. He observed that allopathy often focuses on suppressing symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of illnesses, and in many cases, the origins of certain diseases remain unknown. Motivated by his conviction to explore alternative approaches to healthcare, Dr. Uday Shah organized a groundbreaking initiative at Ram Krishna Mission Hospital. The inaugural event was a 10-day retreat for medical patients, specifically targeting those diagnosed with cancer. Over the course of a month, more than 60 cancer patients engaged in a comprehensive program that incorporated yoga and a natural diet.
