Cow urine seen as disease cure including cancer in India

India's experts in the Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine in South Asia, say cow urine contains properties to cure many diseases, including cancer.

In the northern state of Uttarakhand, officials have begun a program to buy about 1,300 gallons of cow urine every day to be used by Ayurvedic experts, reports Britain's Daily Telegraph.

The product will be collected from a network of 1,900 specially created milk cooperatives.

There are also plans to add 26 species of mountain cows to the program as yield from these animals reportedly has a "richer" herbal residue content compared to the one provided by those in the plains.

Ayurvedic chemist Rakesh Bhaguna told the newspaper cow urine has the same potential Western system medicines to fight diseases.

The state also has plans for a Cow Science and Technology Institute to conduct research in the medicinal values of cow urine and cow dung.

Ayurvedic products already are being marketed as a treatment and are used in face creams, shampoos and memory pills in a country where the cow is highly sacred for the Hindus.

Some modern doctors warn more research is needed on cow urine before it can be used as a curative medicine.

When, 'Witches' cure the ill by slapping them

A group of women, believed to be blessed with powers of witchcraft, claim to have treated people suffering from dreaded ailments like cancer and Aids by stroking or even slapping them - an annual tradition in a Chhattisgarh slum during the festive Navratri season.

As hundreds of people gathered at the banks of a pond at a slum called New Purena, on the outskirts of Raipur, about five women began their ‘healing’ with cries of “Maa Jagdambe” at midnight Friday.

They picked up a few children suffering from heart ailments, three women with cancer and two HIV-positive rickshaw pullers from the crowd of around 500. Read more............Here, 'witches' cure the ill by slapping them

Priests preferred to Doctors for cure

Here are tribal people of Arunachal Pradesh state in India who still believe in community priests rather than medical practitioners to cure diseases.

Close to half of the 1.1 million population of the state, bordering Tibet and Myanmar, are either animists or believers of a primitive faith called Donyi Polo whose followers worship the sun and moon gods.

Lui Sena had been running a high fever accompanied by a splitting headache for the past 10 days. After herbal remedies and a visit to a doctor failed to cure the eight-year-old boy, Sena's parents carried him in a makeshift stretcher made of bamboo staves to 72-year-old Dera Topu, the village priest.

Squatted on the wooden floor of his stilted bamboo and straw hut, Topu was engrossed in prayers with his eyes closed and hands folded. The priest chanted hymns and fanned Sena with a multi-coloured hornbill feather.

"This boy is haunted by evil spirits and now I have to ward off the spirit. No medicines or doctors could cure the boy. You did the right thing by coming to me," the priest told Sena's parents.

An hour later, the little boy said he was feeling comfortable.

Isn't it strange that in this "Scientific, 21st century world", still there are people who believe in all such weird practices!!!!

This year in 2006, on 08th June, hundreds of thousands of people had gathered in Hyderabad ( In fact Gaur family has made arrangement for so many people!!!!!!!!! ) & were given this Drug.

Now here is the incredible method in which Drug is Given. There is a small Fish called " Bethani Fish", it is a very small fish.

About 150 years back, there used to be a very generous forefather in this "Gaur Family". He used to help people in all ways & used to donate very much to the poor people. Once a Saint from Himalayas in India came down & came to his place & asked for food & donation. This "Gaur family" person was not having enough at that time to give to the Saint but still he gave this saint, whatever, he was having & had him food, money etc. At this generous gesture of that person Saint became very Happy & told him about some herbal drugs & told him the procedure/ preparation to make Asthma Drug out of these drugs. It was a boon given by that saint to that "Gaur Family Person". From that day onwards from the last 150 years "Gaur Family " is giving that herbal drug to all people, once in a year. It is given free of cost & is only given in city of Hyderabad in India & that too at "Gaur Family's" place only.
