About Dr. Harish Trivedi

I belong to the last batch of Doctors who were taught both Allopathy and Homeopathy. It was an integrated course and I have passed out in 1982 from Bombay Homeopathic Medical College, Irla, Mumbai, India. I believe institution doesn’t breed good doctors but when a patient comes to me with tears in her eyes and leaves with a smile on her face, she certifies me as a good doctor. How do we make a person happy? Is it by treating a disease or disorder? No, it is not that. When the mind, body and soul are healed, then and only then the patient would say ‘I am feeling good’. The good health is to be experienced. My goal is that each and every patient whomI treat should bless me with the statement “I am feeling good”.

When I say my patients, I mean my friends who are holding my hand for medical help. My approach toward them is more friendly and less doctorly.

How am I different from other doctors?

As I said, my approach is more friendly and less docterly. When a person with psychological issues comes to me, I have to offer the best of my friendship. First comes a good human being, then a good friend and last comes a good doctor. I believe it is friendship that works wonders; medicine comes later. To understand the patient, I have to be as sensitive as the patient. I have to understand that their complaints cannot be proved by any lab investigations. Whatever they say is final and only the truth. When patient says, “I am unhappy”, then together we try to find out the reason for his/her unhappiness and try to solve it. There is togetherness in work and we work as a team and eventually we come out of the problem whatever it is.

How did I come in to this system of medicine?

Since my birth, my Mother used to have a problem of recurrent pain in abdomen and stools full of mucus and occasional blood and bloating after oily meal. It was diagnosed by a Gastroenterologists doctor friend of mine as Amoebic Dysentery / Mucus Colitis / Fat intolerance / Fatty liver and was treated for the same several times. Once in two months, she had to take a course of medicine for several years. Even after full course of medicine and following all the instructions, she kept on suffering repeatedly. This also went on for many years and the matter became chronic. Ultimately I treated her with Alternate system of medicine and since almost 16 years she has no complains and has not taken any medicines for above mentioned ailments. Her sonography and Cholesterol reports are normal, she tolerates oily food very well and it does not cause bloating. She is symptoms free since past 16 years.

In case of my Father it all started with occasional dry cough, 45 years ago. Since then he used to have dry cough which eventually became chronic & persistent. He used to have Asthmatic breathing & limited mobility since he used to run out of breath. After all the investigations, his problem was diagnosed as Chronic Bronchitis which deteriorated with time. After many years of Antibiotics, Bronchodilators, Cough Syrups, Steroids etc., his health only kept on deteriorating. Now the secretions/ sputum became Mucoid, thick and stringy and at times there used to be blood in it. He also lost weight and used to have low grade fever.

After more than a Decade of suffering, we took him to a leading Chest Physician who informed us that the problem has deteriorated further and developed into Bronchiectasis, the disease was advancing and nothing much could be done about it and that he was to be treated on similar line of treatment like before. Later on he started getting hospitalised frequently and was given oxygen to reduce distressed breathing. The only permanent solution was surgical removal of the affected lobe of the Lung, but then there was no full proofs guarantee that it would work.

It is then, that I left the mainstream (Allopathy) medicine & started Alternate System of Medicine on him which worked very well. He was treated for one year continuously and for next six months as and when required. As a result, since past 14 years we have not heard him coughing, there is no breathlessness and he is enjoying a perfect normal health. He is now 85 years and is not on any medications, he goes for his morning walk 45 minutes daily without getting breathless.

In 1983, I suffered from the problems of gumming of eyes, reddening of eyes, pain and irritation as if sand like particles were in the eye, recurrent nose block, recurrent throat infection, recurrent infected sinuses, severe chronic headache, watering of eyes, severe chronic cold, severe chronic backache. I investigated myself and the x-ray showed enlarged turbinate in nose, deviated nasal septum and encroached sinuses. I showed myself to many Ophthalmologists and ENT specialist friends of mine without any relief. Ultimately one senior Ophthalmologist diagnosed it as Trachoma and put me on Terramycin Eye ointment and Albucid Eye Drops, which I used for 10 years. If I did not put my drops for one single day, the eye symptom would return with full strength.

For my nose and throat problems, I went to my ENT specialist doctor friend who suggested operation for nose septum and quatrization of nasal polyp and sinus puncture. I did all that TWICE without any relief whatsoever and all the problems came back in full strength. So how long should I keep getting operated for the same problem?

Later on I had a problem of severe backache, pain radiating to both the legs. This was diagnosed as Lumber Spondilosys / Sciatica / Slip Disc. An orthopedic surgeon friend of mine had to offer anti-inflammatory/pain killers, Lambosachral Belt, Fomentation and complete rest. Even after all this, the problem kept on recurring. How long will I rest and abstain from my routine work? How long will I take painkillers? What about the side effects like acidity and stomach ulcer?  If I continue the treatment with painkillers, I would invite disaster by suffering from stomach ulcers. So now I could not stop the treatment because the backache would come back, but if I continue the treatment, eventually I would suffer from stomach ulcer. I was in dilemma.

My medical problem had no solution. Being a doctor myself, it was very frustrating. If I cannot help myself, how will I help others? Being a doctor, I have suffered so much and for so many years, what about layman? Their condition would be worst and highly frustrating. That was the time, when I decided to try HOMEOPATHY & BACH FLOWER THERAPY. Friends, I can tell you that I have had no attack of Sinusitis nor have I had any antibiotic, any eye drops, no Backache since past 15 years. I am absolutely symptom free, not a single paracetamol tablet for headache whereas before I was living on all the drugs.

I don’t say replace the medicine for Myocardial Infarction, Hypertension or Diabetes no that is not the case; but what about the diseases like:
Chronic Backache, Lumber Spondilosys, Osteo arthritis, Parkinson’s diseases, Recurrent Urinary Track Infection, Paralysis, Chronic Tonsillitis, Skin problems like Non Healing Ulcers, Eczema, Psoriasis, Acne, Tinea or Ringworm, Lichen Planus, Pemphigus Vulgaris, Hair Loss, Nail diseases, Diseases of Sweat glands, Warts, Herpes…and diseases like Calcaneus Spur, Indigestion, Colitis, Acidity, Chronic Neck Pain (Cervical Spondilosys), Male/Female Sexual Dysfunctions, Gynecological Problems, Psychological problems and many Neurological Ailments.

Allopathic drugs are good in life threatening diseases and emergency treatment. But when the diseases become chronic in nature, they do nothing but suppress i.e. palliation. How many times will you treat infected tonsils with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs? Why not treat them with alternate system of medicine and get rid of them once and for all. And save yourself from all the side effects of anti-biotic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

So friends, let us make our lives better in most benign manner.

I have more than 30 years of experience behind me to say so.
