Allopathy and Modern Medicine [0:20]
Dr. Hegde clarifies that he is not against allopathy, stating it's essential for emergency situations. However, he believes that only a small percentage of the sick population needs allopathic treatment on a given day. He references articles questioning the effectiveness of US medicine and highlighting deaths caused by modern medicine. He mentions a study where doctor strikes led to improved societal health, suggesting that modern medicine may not always be beneficial.
Memory and Anxiety [2:40]
When asked about memory issues, Dr. Hegde says that forgetting things is related to anxiety. If you think you'll forget, you will. He explains that when you remember where you kept something, it's because you were consciously aware of it at the time.
Diabetes Management [3:24]
Dr. Hegde addresses questions about diabetes, stating that many medicines can actually make you diabetic, citing statins as an example. He suggests that a blood sugar level of 190 after food is not bad and that exercise, diet control, and positive thinking can help manage diabetes. He recommends brown rice and emphasizes that portion control is more important than avoiding specific foods. He dismisses the idea of India becoming the diabetic capital of the world as a hoax by drug companies.
General Checkups and Normalcy [7:22]
Dr. Hegde advises against regular checkups if you are healthy, stating that they can create unnecessary anxiety. He points out that the definition of "normal" is based on averages, which can lead to misdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment.
Cancer and Its Treatment [8:21]
Dr. Hegde calls cancer screening a fraud, quoting Linus Pauling. He suggests happiness, company, group therapy, and behavioral therapy as potential treatments for depression.
Exercise and Multiple Sclerosis [9:20]
Strenuous athletic activities are not good, but ordinary games are okay. For multiple sclerosis, he suggests that it is an autoimmune disease where your own body cells are killing your own body cells, which means you are hating somebody subconsciously, so try to find out whom you are hating and forget about it and give them love you will be all right.
Internal Bowel Diseases and Liver Health [10:07]
Dr. Hegde says that internal bowel diseases like Crohn's disease are often mind-related and can be alleviated by calming the mind. For a sluggish or fatty liver, he recommends daily walking exercise. He advises drinking water only when thirsty and ensuring urine is not yellow.
Post-Cancer Treatment and TSH Levels [11:44]

Heart Enlargement, Garlic, and Diet [13:14]
