Inaugural
Speech
Sri P. S. Ramamohan Rao
Hon.
Governor of Tamil Nadu State, INDIA.
The
Governor of Tamil Nadu Sri Rama Mohan Rao in his inaugural speech complemented
the Trust in organising such an International Seminar on a vital disease
like cancer, which demands the attention of the society for a thorough
research to find out a better treatment for cure. Seminars such as this
bring practitioners of different kinds of medicine therapies (modern as
well as alternative) together to address the problem of cancer. With a
real breakthrough in cancer treatment still eluding the medical fraternity,
ancient and other non-conventional therapies like Yoga, Ayurveda and Homeopathy
will be relevant in mitigating pain and prolong the life of patients.
The
Governor enlightened that such seminars attended by both specialists from
modern medicine as well as other types of therapies would bring to light
the latest advancements innovations and trends in alternative therapies
enabling the medical profession to combat cancer better .He pointed out
that a cancer patient Anup Kumar in his book titled 'The joy of cancer'
had revealed that while he had opted for Allopathic as the basic treatment,
he complemented it by practicing Yoga, meditation and chanting of "Vedic
Mantras" with great positive impact. The Governor further told that
while choosing the line of treatment, a patient should gather the will
and adopt complementary therapies to supplement modern treatment. He desired
that doctors could assist patients by developing strategies that could
incorporate such therapies along with other modes of treatment. Whatever
the approach might be the suffering cancer patients and their kith and
kin should get confidence that there are other treatments other than Allopathic
for providing great relief in the pain caused by the disease. Trusts such
as AMC Trust should focus on creating confidence and a positive mental
attitude among patients. They should guide in the matter of diets and
few habits of the patients that would have major positive impact on their
quality of life.
