Dear Drs. & friends,
Namaste. The richness of our Country,India ( in ancient days) is well known to us . Iam not talking about the present scenario(where ' Rich gets Richer....Poor gets poorer...)...nor about Sociology...The wealth and the culture of the our India attracted the Capitalism ,Industrialism and eventually dominionism into it..
The heritage of the country need not be mentioned here ...bcoz it's doing rounds in Facebook and other sites..( hope most of us did see it..and the letter of Lord X??? to the Queen of England regarding the wealth this nation possessed.(..If not please try to do it)....
But as an Indian from the deep of the heart I strongly feel that one of the main accused in exploiting and still ruining our Nation is ALCOHOL in all its ( non -medicated alcohol)..(Excluding Aasavaas and Arishtaas) forms .We can't deny that our Ancestors didn't consume the brews....May be the Bhaishajya kalpana is the inventor of inebriants...but the ratio of the quantity and the numerals were negligible...
From our childhood we might have seen many drunkards of all versions ( part time/ party time/occasional/depressed/social/24 hours)...I was scared....really scared...till schooling...
It turned to aversion while graduating especially in public transport...( speak to the sisters,daughters or mother @ home...u will know and feel the pain they suffered while travelling or roaming alone because of these wino-s)...But my aversion turned to astonishment when I saw girls and women smoking and drinking in public...and totally astounded by availing the news that is the case not only in Urban but in rural areas too.....If somebody comes advocating that drinking these spirits falls under personal limits....I kindly request them to touch their own consciences and justify themselves...If they are going to justify that they are not disturbing anyone else....' I jus booze up and enter my room or get into my bed'.....Then:
Humanistic discipline says:
1) Nobody have the right to ruin your own health/ body.
2) No Human resource can be wasted
Under these principles - if suicide attempt is an offence,what about the boozing?
Is only drinking and driving combination, a punishable act and is the sole act of drinking pleasurable?
I have imagined an India minus Intoxicants= extra ordinary beautiful Indians( Morally and Physically)...
The time we spend on these petty issues even on the chat over it.....is very valuable which is not counted by us....
Politicians minus alcohol
Bureaucrats minus alcohol
Rich minus alcohol
Poor minus alcohol
In this the economically weaker sections are very pitiable....the victims drag the entire family into the sufferings...
The former three categories may have sufficient time and energy to do good either for themselves or for others....or for their Country( depends upon their attitude) if they give up the intoxicants....Anyhow something GOOD would be obtained by someone...or by their own family.
Most of the youngsters and even children around 9-15 years have been trapped by this demon.It starts with socialising,partying or mere curiosity.... and a LIFE- starts into another direction...for most of them...
Mentation of the poor and weaker sections of the society will tell us the bitterness...
De- addiction has to be discussed among the medical fraternity in still more serious mode...
'Shrikandasavam' appears first to the mind on this topic.I too have been prescribing this for many.
But without the force of the mind how far can a medicine for such cases would work? I have few requests and suggestions ...
1) Counsel all cases where history of alcohol is there - relevant or irrelevant to the present complaint for which the patient attended your clinic.Its our duty and ethic.
2)Speak to the family members.
3) Each one has their own story.Yet hear it.
"A good listener can be a good preacher."
To bring down the intoxication:
1) honey can be sipped down even in excess quantities.
2) milk with dates.
3) butter milk
4) pouring of cold water over the head.
5)lemon rubbed over scalp or administered internally
6) onions to be chewed.
(Believe others can come out with more suggestions).
Khajura mantha (Sha.sam.) is worth a deep research.
To cause aversion towards the intoxicants:
"Dhaniya seeds ( Coriandrum sativum) to be processed as a kashayam( decoction) and to be administered with palm crystal/ lemon juice". This is to be given regularly and effect is exhibited gradually..
Almost all of them knew the harmful effects of the alcohol.But they are the weak victims who didn't try or try in vain to come out.So scaring the drunkards even before the actual symptoms show in would many times prove fruitful.And now the ball is in the family member's court( esp. spouse's).
How to scare??????: (be ready to be scared)
1) paste of mustard to be mixed with food and given after the victim(?) enters home drunken.
2)VACHA to be mixed with any fruit juice and fed.
Both the above results in vomitting ...
3)The patient's brief or any garment should be stained with blood( from butcher's shop) and to be shown when they are in normal state and say some thing abnormal is happening in his / her body.
4) Well wishers and friends should are to be intimated to intimidate the patient ??? by enquiring occasionally (in their respective rounds in a short span of time)like, "Why do you look aged much earlier? or Why is your face sunken?",etc.
5) Through a well known Physician , inform the victim that his ECG has got severe changes ---- going towards massive attack...
6) Make scenes as if the patient is getting into amnesia...
7)Death's imminency due to alcohol should be emphasised in extreme cautions...
The article's content is not about De- addiction course...but the intention is to prevent a stage of alcoholism where De-addiction course becomes must...Becoz the fact is many of the victims cannot realise or admit that they reached a stage where treatment had become mandatory....
Many friends of mine came out of the demon's den successfully and lives a dignified life...I have to congratulate them on this instance....for I knew how much time they needed to quit it ( Of course...there was a lot of fun and pranks then:) :)
Nobody might have forgotten the recent news of vision loss by hundreds due to Arrack recently...
My humble request is to propagate Anti-Alcoholism to the extent possible....
Encourage for De- addiction...
Support thoroughly for those who are in the course...
Will our Mother entertain us to intoxicate???
Our Mother Nation too won't....
" ALL PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT TO STUPIDITY. BUT SOME ABUSE THE PRIVILEGE". Use the LIFE installed in your body by LORD with LOVE....
Apologising in advance if I have hurt anybody's feelings...
REGARDS.......
