Preface:
In a world where civilization is advancing at a rapid pace, mankind is paradoxically becoming weaker. Diseases, both known and unknown, are on the rise, and the average lifespan is shrinking. Despite advancements in medical science, the art of healing seems to lag behind. This discrepancy arises because modern medicine often focuses on suppressing diseases with toxic drugs rather than using the natural remedies provided by nature.

In this book, V.M. Kulkarni critiques the widespread reliance on synthetic drugs and emphasizes the healing power of nature's gifts—fresh air, pure water, and sunlight. He argues that these are often ignored, particularly by the poor and uneducated, who live in rural areas where such resources are abundant but underutilized. Even in urban environments, the pursuit of wealth has led many to neglect their health.

Kulkarni highlights the harmful effects of pharmaceutical interventions, which may cure one ailment but often cause new, more severe issues. In earlier times, the average lifespan was 100 years, a stark contrast to today, where many live shortened lives due to neglecting natural health practices.

The author proposes that good health is not a luxury but a natural and legitimate right of every human being, granted by nature itself. The book aims to shed light on the harmful effects of drugs and encourages a return to nature’s bounties for curing and preventing disease. By adhering to the simple and time-tested laws of nature, we can achieve lasting health and well-being.
