In spite of
the advanced scientific knowledge, there appears to be no permanent cure
for cancer. And with the incidence of cancer on the rise, it is estimated
that one-sixth of the human population is susceptible to the disease.
Though billions of dollars are spent every year on cancer research worldwide,
the Western systems of medicine and therapy that are employed do not promise
a certain and permanent cure. Patients are subjected to enormous suffering
both by the disease in its advanced stage and by the therapy which is
currently being practised and propagated. There are three approaches being
adopted for cancer at the moment - surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
The last two are carried out invariably on all patients irrespective of
whether they underwent surgery or not. These approaches are extremely
debilitating and attack the normal cells of the body, while killing the
cancer cells. Particularly, chemotherapy is extremely toxic and more patients
die because of chemotherapy than of cancer itself.
Further, the present methods of treatment are extremely expensive and
well beyond the reach of the common man, particularly the poorer sections
of the society. In fact, if it were not for medical insurance, the costs
for treatment would be prohibitive even for the upper middle class. Hence
the disease not only becomes unbearable for the patients, but also for
their near and dear ones.
It is in
such a scenario that the AM Charitable Trust was formed with the objective
of finding a cost effective, affordable and permanent cure using Complementary
therapies systems of medicine and therapy. To bring hope to cancer patients
and their families.
