A very warm greeting to all, from your Wellness Guruji.
In recent times, it's not just private hospitals, but even government hospitals, that are making huge investments to fight what we can call a massive 'epidemic'. An epidemic of a disease that is affecting so many people and claiming lives.
Just recently, you might have seen, about two months ago, the Tamil Nadu government inaugurated a massive new medical wing, dedicated to serving the people. We all might wonder, what is it? Is it another infection like COVID? But when we look closer... it's nothing like that. It is for 'Non-Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis'.
This is not the liver disease that affects those with a drinking habit. This is a special treatment wing for liver disease that affects even those who do not drink. This issue has grabbed so much attention that massive treatment protocols are being brought in.
It's surprising, isn't it? When many people go to the hospital feeling unwell, they are told they have 'Stage 1 Fatty Liver' or 'Grade 1 Fatty Liver'. And nobody takes it seriously. Five years later, it becomes 'Grade 2', and the doctors give a small warning, "Be a little careful."
Then suddenly, their hands and legs start to swell. The stomach starts to bloat. There's a deep fatigue, a feeling that something is wrong with the body... They go back for a check-up, and that's when a huge bomb is dropped on their head: "You have Liver Cirrhosis. There is no medicine to cure this. The only option is a liver transplant."
So today, we must break the myth that liver disease only comes to those who drink. The number of non-drinkers, especially women, who are developing liver disease is far greater than those who do drink. This is an issue that needs our immediate and serious attention.
So, why do we get this liver disease? There are five major reasons.
First, do you know what it is? Sleep. Anyone who doesn't sleep properly, or doesn't give importance to sleep, will get liver disease. We tend to think liver problems are for people in their 40s or 50s... but tragically, we are now seeing liver disease in very young children. We are seeing 18 and 19-year-old kids coming in with liver disease.
So, this can affect anyone. People suffering from insomnia, people who can't sleep, people working night shifts—all of them are at high risk. You don't have to eat something bad to spoil your health. Just this one factor is enough to cause huge damage. We must be very, very careful.
Second... our food habits have completely changed. We have all entered a culture of eating hotel food frequently. I see it every day. On the four days a week I am in Chennai, just in the 10km stretch from my home to my office in Kodambakkam, I see a new restaurant or a new tea shop opening every single day.
If there are so many eateries in just one 10km stretch, imagine how many there are across Tamil Nadu, across all of India. Think about it. When eating outside becomes a cultural norm, even if the restaurant owner tries to give you clean, well-cooked food... for the sake of taste, for colour, for texture, and to make those 'specialty' dishes, they use certain unnecessary minerals and chemicals. When these enter our body, what happens? We get sick.
Tell me, do we use Ajinomoto in our home cooking? We don't. But in a hotel, I can guarantee you there is no dish made without it. Do we add vinegar to our food at home? No. But today, any non-vegetarian dish, especially Chinese-style food, in any hotel, is made with vinegar.
Eating this once a year is fine. But tragically, we have moved to a culture of eating it frequently. We have gone from eating for hunger to eating for taste. And when that happens, we see massive damage building up inside our bodies.
If we want to escape this, we must first have the intention to avoid outside food. Processed foods, packet foods, and the chemicals added to them to prevent spoilage... all of them are causing great harm.
We all use PET bottles, don't we? We use plastic containers. The 'microplastics' from these containers, these tiny, invisible plastics, are now being found in the blood tests of so many people. That is the shocking reality. We must be cautious. Outside food is a major reason for this.
The third biggest reason: Mental Stress. Today, you don't need a bad habit to ruin your liver. The struggles we face in life, the emotions we are unable to express, the difficulties our bodies go through because of this... they affect us on a massive scale.
We try so hard. We try everything. "I'm avoiding oil, I'm walking, I'm sleeping, I'm doing this, I'm doing that... I'm following every single thing the doctor says. But I still got liver disease, I don't know why, sir." So I ask them, what job do you do? "Sir, I'm an auditor." From morning to night, battling with numbers, with tensions, fighting, fighting, fighting... and in the end, that stress creates a huge illness that turns their entire life upside down.
Just as lack of exercise is a huge cause, just as lack of sleep is a huge cause, mental stress is a primary cause of liver disease today. What we are seeing in India, especially in women, is 'Stress-Induced Liver Cirrhosis'.
The fourth reason: Medicines. Sir, even the medicines we take for a simple fever... There is a very big, very famous hospital in Chennai. When they inaugurated their special wing for liver transplants, do you know what the doctor heading that department said in an interview?
He said, "Even the Paracetamol tablet you take for a fever, when taken unnecessarily and without a doctor's advice, has the potential to damage your liver."
If one simple fever tablet can cause this much damage, then what about the various tablets we take for diabetes, for heart disease, for cholesterol? How many of us are paying any attention to our liver's health while taking all this?
Today, even the best, most brilliant doctors, when they prescribe medicines, often don't focus on the side effects, or the long-term cumulative effects of taking those medicines for years. And what do we do? We only see the doctor when we have a problem. We don't go for 'regular checkups' to manage our health and our prescriptions.
So, in this way, some of the medicines we take—medicines taken for a long time without medical advice, sleeping pills, blood thinners, heart medications—even these can create serious problems for us.
And the fifth, very, very important reason. Do you know what it is? Carelessness. Negligence.
When liver disease begins, our body gives us many signals. Loss of appetite. Loss of taste. Inability to eat. Insomnia. A level of physical fatigue that is impossible to describe. When all these things are happening, how many of us actually go and get a medical checkup?
For every man and woman over the age of 30... even though I am a nature-cure doctor, my one recommendation to everyone is this: You must never, ever be negligent about getting necessary medical tests done. Because if we are not negligent, if we make an effort to understand liver disease at its earliest stage, then... we can not only prevent it, but we can completely cure almost all liver diseases that are caught early.
"Sir, what you're saying is fine. But I have a liver problem now. They are saying I have Stage 2 Fatty Liver. They are saying it's the beginning of Cirrhosis. They say it's chronic. How can I protect my liver now?"
Five methods.
First and most important: You must consult a doctor to understand what stage your body is in. This is critical. The biggest mistake people make is that they don't know the difference between Jaundice and Liver Disease. Jaundice is different. Liver Cirrhosis is different.
So, you go to a doctor, he says you have fat in your liver, you're in Stage 2, be careful. You come home and tell your family. Immediately, a neighbour or relative will say, "Oh, just grind some Keezhanelli (Phyllanthus niruri) and eat it," or they'll name some other herb.
We also take that herb, thinking it will solve the problem. But there are many types of Jaundice—'Obstructive Jaundice', 'Hemolytic Jaundice'. There are infections like Hepatitis B. Without understanding the root cause, when we take a medicine as a 'solution', not only do we not get the expected result, but our liver gets damaged even more, and we end up in a state where we are truly battling for our life.
The reason many people complain about natural medicine today is that nobody first gets a proper diagnosis of their disease before starting a proper natural treatment. They go for 'self-medication' or 'wrong medication'. Because of this, many people end up in a critical state, and by the time they go to a hospital, they are often beyond the point where even their life can be saved.
So, if you have any discomfort, go see an Ayurveda doctor, a Siddha doctor, a Naturopathy doctor, or even your allopathy family doctor. First, go to them and say, "Sir, I have these symptoms. I have done these tests. The readings are abnormal. What is the proper protocol I need to follow for my condition?" Getting this advice is the most important first step.
You might think, "I must see this doctor." But you might say, "I'm in Nagercoil, how can I come and see you?" You don't need to come and see me. Go and see the Ayurveda, Siddha, Naturopathy, or Allopathy doctor in your town. The most important thing is to get a clear understanding of what is happening inside your body.
Why do I insist on this? Because diseases in other organs might change, this way or that. But with the liver, a 100% cure for liver disease is only possible in the initial stages. When we let it go past that, to Stage 3 or Stage 4, that's when it creates a massive, life-threatening problem. So, first thing: Doctor's consultation.
Second: Detox. Why do I say detox? It's a profound truth I have seen in my 25 years of experience: anyone who does a proper detox once a year will not get liver disease. Many patients of mine come to me regularly, once every six months or once a year. "Sir, give me that one-week medicine. I will take that medicated ghee for six days, and on the seventh day, I will take the purgative medicine."
When you do this, all the toxins in the body are expelled. The liver gets a complete rebirth. Think of our house. Every 2 or 5 years, we scrape the old paint off the walls, apply putty, and give it a fresh coat of paint. We make the house look brand new and sparkling. A house maintained like that will look beautiful not just for 20 years, but for 200 years.
Detox is just like that. For six days, you take a medicated ghee. We check your pulse, see if your body is Vata, Pitta, or Kapha, and give you the specific medicine for your constitution. Day 1 is 30ml, then 45, then 60, 75, 90, and finally 105ml. After taking this for six days, on the seventh morning, you take a purgative medicine. There are strict dietary controls for these six days.
I have told so many people: before you start this detox, go and get your Liver Profile, your Lipid Profile, all your liver-related tests. Even get an abdomen scan. Then, after the 7 days are over, on the 8th day, go and do all the same tests again. You will be astonished to see the change. Your liver's shape, its size, your enzymes, your blood test... everything will have changed.
So, if we can just take seven days for ourselves once a year, we never have to worry about liver disease.
Third, and very important. What about the people who are already in a serious condition? "Sir, my stomach is swollen like a pot. They call it 'Ascites' from liver cirrhosis. The fluid won't go out. We have to keep getting it 'tapped' and drained. They say I need a transplant, but I don't have the physical strength for it. We don't even know if my body will survive the surgery." For such a serious condition, how can we save the liver?
There is a medicine made from pure, distilled cow's urine. We call it 'Gomutra Arkam'. Today, there is a lot of debate about whether cow's urine is good or bad. But there is such a thing as scientific research. We don't drink the urine directly. 100 litres of cow's urine is put in a vessel and heated. As it evaporates, the steam is cooled and collected. This is 'condensation'. This product is called 'Arkam' or a distillate.
It is Tamil! A Tamilian discovered this. Do you know that? The man who discovered this process of 'Arkam' or 'Distilled Water' as medicine... was a Tamilian. And who was that Tamilian? It was Ravana. Whatever good or bad things are written about Ravana in the Ramayana, the man who discovered how to convert medicines into distillates, allowing for 'bulk manufacturing' and curing lakhs of people with a small dosage... the man who gave this to the world was Ravana.
And one of the greatest medicines he discovered and gave us is this 'Gomutra Arkam'.
Many people will grimace at the mention of 'Gomutra'. Let me tell you a small, true story. In the year 2009, a man who was the Health Minister of Bangladesh came to India. His family's ancestral roots were in Pondicherry. And why did he come? He came to Pondicherry to die.
What was his problem? Liver Cirrhosis. His liver had completely failed. He had already been to big hospitals in Singapore, had surgeries, done everything. It was all over. The story was finished. They had told him to prepare for his final journey.
Since his ancestral home was in Pondicherry, he came there with the wish to be buried in his homeland. On his way, he came to see me once in Chennai. My hospital was in Adyar at the time. When he came, he had no hope. He was only there on someone else's reference.
I checked his pulse, and I prescribed him this 'Gomutra Arkam'. He was hesitant. He told me, "Sir, I know this won't help me. But I am taking it only for my family's compulsion." I said, "Fine, just do it," and I gave him the diet and lifestyle to follow.
When he first came, his belly was swollen with almost 3 litres of water. His hands, legs, and face were all swollen... it was the last stage, a very terrible condition. But I gave him the Gomutra Arkam and instructed him: 20ml in the morning, 20ml in the afternoon, 20ml in the evening. 60ml total. And I gave him a strict diet.
One week later, he came back to see me. He said, "Sir, I have seen three changes in this one week. Number one: I couldn't eat even a single mouthful of rice. I would feel nauseous and vomit. Since starting this, for one week, I have not vomited even once. Number two: My legs and scrotum would be swollen like a pot, morning and night. In this one week, I feel the swelling has reduced by 50%. Number three: Usually, we would have to go for 'tapping' every 3 or 4 days to drain 1 or 2 litres of water from my stomach. But for this entire week, we didn't have to go at all. The fluid in my stomach has reduced. How is this possible?"
This is the power of this medicine. ...It has now been 15 or 16 years since I first saw him. He is still alive today. He is doing well. He still takes that 'Gomutra Arkam', that distilled medicine. He lives a very happy life. The reason? This medicine.
This is just one example. This is a divine medicine that has helped many hundreds, many thousands of people.
Fourth, another excellent medicine to cure liver disease is a herb called 'Kollukkai Velai'. You will see it in villages, growing flat on the ground with a small purple flower. Do you know its specialty?
Our liver and our spleen work together. The liver purifies the body. The spleen is responsible for blood production. But it also does another job: when old blood cells die, the spleen pulls them in and extracts the iron and other nutrients from them. If the spleen is swollen, it means it is struggling. It's unable to absorb the nutrients from the dead cells.
When you have liver swelling, when you get a liver problem, you will almost always get a spleen problem along with it. This is why in Cirrhosis, the biggest problem is internal bleeding, which can lead to death. Why? Because the blood will not clot.
But the great specialty of this 'Kollukkai Velai' is that it protects the liver and the spleen. We all talk about 'Keezhanelli' as the best. But this herb, 'Kollukkai Velai', is a thousand times more powerful than Keezhanelli for healing liver swelling, liver shrinking, spleen swelling, and spleen shrinking. It is a fantastic medicine.
Fifth, the best. A medicine that has thousands of research papers on it, one that is known globally for its power to save the liver. What is it? It is another herb called 'Katukarohini' (Picrorhiza kurroa).
This herb is special. When the liver becomes extremely diseased, do you know what happens? The person's motion (stool) will start to turn white. We call this 'Haleemakam'. We all know about 'Yellow Jaundice', where the body turns yellow. This is 'White Jaundice', where the body turns pale white.
To this day, there is no medicine in modern medicine for 'White Jaundice'. But the one divine herb that can reverse the difficulty of this white jaundice and give strength back to the body is 'Katukarohini'.
So, no matter what kind of liver disease you have—whether it's from an infection, an injury, from food, a hereditary issue, from jaundice, or from gallbladder problems... whatever the reason, the one medicine that can reverse the damage is 'Katukarohini'.
"Sir, I can't do all of this. I need a simple remedy. An effective remedy for prevention, cure, and rejuvenation. I don't want to get liver disease. If I have it, I want it to be cured. If I've been cured, I want my liver to be reborn and I want to live a long, healthy life."
For those who think this... you can contact the hospital. There is a medicine called 'Yakrit Care Capsules'. 'Yakrit' means liver. When you take these Yakrit Care Capsules, two in the morning and two at night before food, you will see such a good change.
People with liver damage, people with Stage 1 or Grade 1 fatty liver, even those with Stage 2... if you take these capsules for two 'mandalams'—that is, for 100 days—two in the morning, two at night... you will see such a beautiful change in your liver. If you go for a checkup after two months, you will see for yourself how much your liver has healed and regained its health.
So, just think about it. Can we prevent liver disease? Yes, we can. Can we cure it? Yes, we can. Even if we are fighting a so-called "incurable" liver disease, is a long, healthy life possible? Yes, it is. But for that, the effort we take, and the faith with which we take it, is what matters most.
Please share this video with your friends. Share it in your WhatsApp groups, your YouTube communities, with everyone you know. Because today, the families and the individuals who are suffering from liver disease... they are in a pain that cannot be expressed in words. If we want to change that, the effort we take must be a collective effort, a community effort.
So, please see if you can share this video with everyone in your community. If you have any doubts about this video, please ask them in the comment section. When I have time, I will try to answer them.
We will meet again in another program. Until then, this is your Wellness Guruji, bidding you farewell.
Thank you. Vanakkam.
