Dr. Geeta Arora

Dr. Geeta Arora complimented our

club for undertaking so many

community projects, and offered

her services for the cause of

Rotary. Talking about cancer, she

said, “It is a lifestyle disease and

spreading like an epidemic.” She

explained the laws of cancer,

saying that the body fails to

produce adequate amount of active

pancreatic enzymes due to its overworking, neurological

injury or malfunction of body chemistry, muscular

disorders and damaged tissues.

She explained in details twenty points relating to the facts

of cancer. She said, “There are only two physicians – the

Almighty and your own body.” She added, “For the cancer

to cure there must be a positive change in the physiology of

the patient. It is you and your body chemistry that cures

you and your disease.” She further adviced, “In doing this

you must balance the environmental, physical, mental and

spiritual – each facet plays a part in your cure.”

Dr. Geeta was highly critical about the modern lifestyle due

to improper diet, more toxins, lack of exercise, lack of

EMF – sunlight, microwaves, stress, emotional toxins and

not being in harmony with nature. She pointed out the

harmful effects in the diet we eat and even the water and

milk we drink. She advocated against the use cell phones,

Wifi/routers, air conditioners, cars and all the modern

gadgets as these are not good for health and may even

cause cancer.

She said the lifestyle 100 or 200 years was much better,

healthier and simpler when people used to walk for several

kilometers daily as there was no mode of transportation in

those days. We have forgotten all the right things about

lifestyle. She strongly believed that the modern lifestyle is

not sustainable.

Dr. Geeta recommended the books of some renowned

authors like Dr. William Donald Kelley’s ‘One answer to cancer’,

On behalf of our club PP Pallav Mukherjee thanks Dr. Geeta

Arora, and presents her a memento. Looking on are President

Dr. Rita Kalra and Secretary Rtn. Jeeten Bhambri

During Dr. Geeta’s interactive session with the audience,

PP Rtn. Mrs. Kanan Diwan wanted to know why people

are living beyond the age of 80 if modern lifestyle is so

bad! PP Rtn. Mrs. Ritu Singal said we have been made so

knowledgeable about the ill effects of food and gadgets

like cell phones and WiFi etc., that all this sounds very

scary! She wanted to know what are the solutions.

Rtn. Dr. I.S. Virdi, with 35 years of vast experience as a

cardiac surgeon, who has performed thousands of

surgeries said, “I carry my cell phone in my breast pocket

for the last 10 years, and I have studied everything about

radiation and heart. Cell phones are no problem at all.”

Dr. Virdi clarified the doubts that were raised in the

minds of the audience, much to the relief of all present, as

modern medical science is highly advanced, having

remedies for all ailments, under any situation.
