WHEN FOOD IS WRONG, MEDICINE IS OF NO USE.
WHEN FOOD IS RIGHT, MEDICINE IS OF NO NEED.
--Khadar Vali, PhD

The right kind of food, a simple lifestyle and the right agricultural practices. That is all society needs to mend its ways and get itself into top health says Khadar Vali, a US returned scientist, who has dedicated his life to build a healthy society after resigning from a lucrative job in an MNC. Khadar has transformed himself into a healer through food-as-medicine, near Mysore. He has shown that millets can cure almost every conceivable disease including cancer. Moreover, they could prevent cancers too.

The 62-year-old scientist is considered the best Doctor, for extremely complicated situations. There are thousands of Diabetics with gangrenous legs who consider him a messiah for saving their limbs after they were advised to go for amputation. There are epileptics who have lost all hope, who rush to his residence in the interior of TK Layout for deliverance from the various Health problems. He has hardly disappointed any of them.

This DOC in desi khadi does no black magic. He instead makes small changes in food choices and minimal medication. This is at a minimal cost to the thousands of patients who flock his place and almost ends up delivering MIRACLES. He treats at least 100 patients a day at his residence in TK Layout from Tuesday to Saturday.

Khadar did his MSc (Ed) from Regional College of Education, Mysuru, and PhD on Steroids at Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. He has worked as a post-doctoral fellow on Environmental Science at Beaverton Oregon and as scientist in CFTRI for three years. Joining Dupont, he worked for them in India for a year and for four and a half years in the US before settling in Mysuru in 1997.

Another passion of his is Saving the soil for posterity. Khadar feels it can happen only with the right kind of agricultural practices. He is worried that with the kind of crop practices farmers are adopting, the soil may become unfit to grow anything in the next thirty years.

What is the cause of increasing cases of juvenile diabetes, childhood obesity, early puberty, irregular menstrual cycles, polycystic ovaries, infertility, anemia, low milk supply during breast feeding and constipation? Diet counselors say it is all because of Junk FoodChocolates, pizzas and your love for non-vegetarian food.

Khadar does not feel this is entirely true. Oxytocin/estrogen hormones are injected into cows to increase milk yield, micro levels of those hormones present in milk is one reason for early puberty in girls. Alloxan, used as a bleaching agent to bleach wheat flour for production of maida (used for preparing bakery products), obstructs the capacity of the pancreas to produce beta cells, which store and release insulin, he points out.

We need to start eating positive grains (Siridhanya), fruits and vegetables, palm jaggery (Kappu bella/saate) and use bull driven (seed) oils to stay healthy. Positive grains are not only nutritious, they can be grown in dry land and need only 20 cm of rainfall. As high as 60 percent of the available land in India is dry land. So, if farmers cultivate positive grains, there could be no drought in the next 50 years, he reasons.

Khadar grows as many as 38 crop varieties including positive grains at home and uses Kaadu Chaitanya dravana a microbial liquid for farming in his 8 acres of dry land in Bidirenahalli in the Kabini backwaters in HD Kote, Karnataka. He even gives a live demonstration on the right agricultural practices at his farm in the name of Jungle Krishi which is actually the jungle farming. His daughter Sarala Bangalore, BHMS, a homeopathy doctor and wife Usha, have been partnering Khadar in his cause.
