What will it take for governments to realize that pollutants, chemicals and additives in our food and water are responsible for most illness and disease?
Why does it
These are some of the many questions Rajan Talwar asks.
In the early summer of 2006, he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, making his already complex life much more complicated.
Here is a man diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, fighting for his everyday life, with his environment and with his values; who was so discouraged by the medical profession that he sought natural care and remedies. He has not only found success with treating his illness, he has managed to bring his emotional, physical and spiritual being, where most of us strive to be.
He goes from a complete ignorance and denial of what to feel, what to think and how to behave, to learning about illness and becoming aware of his body and its needs. Emotionally, he falls apart. Despondency, fear, anger, anxiety, anguish, depression are only some of the many obstacles he encounters.
This self-told, candidly written book is about the physical, emotional and even spiritual obstacles he encounters and a transformation from losing faith in God and in the medical profession, to discovering new ways of approaching disease and changing the pain, anger and anguish to acceptance, faith and even, sometimes, joy.
He takes us through a world of lies, greed and especially the ignorance and misinformation, and therefore misconceptions regarding food, medical treatments, and the understanding of illness. All this, as well as trying to live with a devastating illness and the challenges of life. This book is not written as a scientific report, but as the human side of battling disease and life.
As human beings we are affected by good and bad events caused by internal and external factors, be they personal issues, the stresses of daily living or world issues. The book is also about these issues and conflicts which affect him and every other person. The journey this book will take us on is his attempt to take control and be a master of his life despite his circumstances and challenges. He writes, “To be a victim of my past or present is not a choice.”
His book is not just about living with MS. It is about life and facing the challenges which life brings and on top of that, the challenge of living with a debilitating illness. It is about not giving in to despondency and apathy. It is about not giving in to the challenges of life, be they racism, the practice of religion, the cost of living or illness. He questions human values, our commitment to ethics. He writes about the issues of trying to fit in to meet someone’s requirements, about acceptance, tolerance, contentment and even our responsibilities as immigrant citizens.
You do not have to have MS or any other major illness to live through what he lives through - You just have to live.
Every person goes through that crucial moment of anguish that brings us right to the edge, and we reach that desperate place more than once in our lives.
This book is about getting past that place, no matter how many times we come to it, and continuing to live and strive for a better life.The world needs to be made aware of his message, his plight, his fight and most of all, his success.
His collection of poetry, "Unanswered Questions and Unquestioned Answers" was published in 2006.
