Cancer Conference English

  Third International Conference on Ayurved for Cancer (I.C.A.C.)

Feb 23rd to 25th 2007
Mahabaleshwar

Cancer conference was held at a resort hotel in a place which is a mountainous summer resort at 1300 mt height from sea level, about 3-4 hours journey by bus from Pune. The hotel had a beautiful swimming pool and the hotel is located on a mountain. The hotel was almost all rented out for the event.

The fresh mountain air was refreshing for the tired ones after the brain storming sessions at the conference. But the conference was continuing from morning till evening and there was not much time to take advantage of the beautiful nature around.

One famous oncologist from India and overseas seems to have participated. But Dr. Sadanand looked very happy about the success of this conference.

The participants were keen to know whether Ayurved can cure cancer. BSD cancer project has produced good results. The data consisted of 150 patients annually that means 15 patients per field of research per year. It is unfortunate that the number is not enough for scientific proof. However, more than 40 patients had come to the venue of the conference. Most of them did not understand the scientific presentations that were being made in the conference.

They could speak nothing but Marathi, but they sat in the conference for all three days and were listening attentively. That was because in case in the proceedings of the conference the western medicinal practitioners wanted to ask any questions to know more in detail after they had studied the case reports. They were there as the proof of the project. But they were not forced to come. They were grateful to Dr. Sadanand who had cured their cancer. And that feeling of gratitude must have brought them there. Though the number was small, their coming to conference itself was an answer to the question of whether cancer can be cured by Ayurved.

In the conference 5 years back, even though it was an international conference the presentations were in Marathi and Hindi and did not mean much to foreigners. But this time all presentations were in English organization was good, and the staff was running the whole conference very systematically.

In these 5 years, Dr. Sadanand has trained staff very well indeed. I saw that among the staff was Dr.’s younger son Sukumar who has just graduated as a doctor. When I met him first he was a young boy but now he is a strong person, supporting his father like a pillar. It was a moving sight.
