G.V. Raman

I am G.V. Raman . I am 64. I had two heart attacks, one was during the year 1976 and the other was during the year 1994 viz., eighteen years later. I am having diabetes mellitus for the past six years. On 29-5-98, I experienced pain in the center of my chest and then radiating towards right. I consulted my cardiologist. He suggested me to undergo angiography test. On enquiry, I was told by him that this was a complicated test and patients may die one out of 1500 patients who undergo. This is a common test to know the blockages in coronary arteries. I was extremely scared and desperate. I did not know how to proceed in the matter. I consulted another two cardiologists of this city of Bangalore. They also suggested to have coronary angiography.

My wife somehow was reluctant and I obliged her by not undergoing this test. One fine day I received a call from my wife's sister that one Dr. Bimal Chhajer is delivering a lecture on "Reversing Heart Disease". She asked us to attend the lecture. We heard his lecture for nearly 2 hours with rapt attention. This was during the middle of June 98. On the same day we decided to join the course of SAAOL Program of Bimal Chhajer from 29-6-98 to 1-7-98.

According to my previous "Two Dimentional-colour Doppler studies – Echocardiogram report" I was diagnosed to have "Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy". After going through the report Dr. Bimal , was of the strong opinion that I am not a patient of Cardiomyopathy and Angiography test prescribed by previous cardiologist was not necessary in view of my heart efficiency being 63 per cent. I underwent this course. From this SAAOL Program , I could understand that this was tremendous opportunity to lead a more meaningful balanced and full life. I followed the zero oil diet , meditation , medication and exercise taught in the course fully for the last one year which has yielded remarkable results.

During September 98, I underwent TMT as suggested by Dr. Bimal which was found to be negative to our surprise. My weight has reduced considerably by 6 to 7 Kgs in a period of 4 months and I maintained this weight throughout. There is a considerable reduction in blood sugar levels and cholesterol levels. My glycosylated haemoglobin is less than seven.

Here is the table:

I have not experienced any chest pain afterwards. Changes in lifestyle has made me very comfortable. I can talk about my heart, feeling better than before. Whenever I come in contact with heart patients, I talk about my experience of my heart disease and changes of lifestyle taught by Dr. Bimal. This course is very educative, I can communicate better to speak from the heart instead of only from the head.
