Till a year ago, Ramesh Gupta was suffering from many health problems such as psoriasis, arthritis, constipation & piles. He had travelled across India seeing many doctors and was still struggling. After a year on the Satvic lifestyle, he shares how his skin, joints and energy changed.

***" A year ago, my life was exactly opposite to what it is now. I couldn't walk properly, my hair was falling off in large amount, 90% of my skin as well as my scalp was covered with these big, dark, itchy patches & there was severe pain all over my body. But, today I can say that there is absolutely no itching on my skin or my scalp. No scaling at all & I can even see the old scabs fading away. Not only this, I also lost 31 kg during this time."

Why did you start following the Satvic lifestyle?

A year ago, my life was exactly opposite to what it is now. I couldn't walk properly, my hair was falling off in large amount, 90% of my skin as well as my scalp was covered with these big, dark, itchy patches & there was severe pain all over my body. I was suffering from multiple health issues; psoriasis, piles, arthritis, constipation & what not. I was a pharmacist and was really good at my work but psoriasis changed everything for me. People were disgusted by the ugly looking patches on my skin and didn't want to talk to me. My skin condition was very severe, I used to experience extreme itching all over my body & scalp and every time I scratch, a handful of skin used to come off. Moreover, because of my arthritis, I couldn't even walk to the bathroom without help. I was in pain and a lot of discomfort. In search of a cure, I traveled all across India. I took Allopathic medicine for 2 years, tried Ayurvedic treatments for 2 years, homeopathic medicine for 2 years but saw no improvements at all, instead my problems were aggravating even more. In 2019, while searching on YouTube about Nature Cure, I came across Satvic Movement's channel. I was really inspired by the knowledge shared by Subah ma'am & decided to follow the lifestyle from the very next day.

What did you start doing? Tell us about your healing journey.

It has been an year since I have started following the Satvic Lifestyle. I have been doing each and every thing religiously as suggested by Subah ma'am in the videos. My day begins with a morning walk, followed by an enema, a wet pack, sunbathing and a glass of sun charged water. I eat fruits for breakfast, followed by salad for lunch and satvic grain meal in dinner. Also, 15 days ago I decided to go on a juice fast challenge conducted by the Satvic Movement. I attended the three day workshop and felt so much better. (The juice fast is a 3-day program. It is not for pregnant or breastfeeding women, children under 14 or anyone severely underweight.) Honestly, I have never felt this better before.

What are the benefits you received by following the Satvic lifestyle?

Just after a few months of following this lifestyle I started to see great improvements in my skin as well as other aspects of my health. And, today I can say that there is absolutely no itching on my skin or my scalp. No scaling at all & I can even see the old scabs fading away. Not only this, I have also lost whopping 31 kg during this time. Before I was 96 kg now I am 65 kg. Earlier, my T-shirt size was XXL & now it’s M. My skin feels better than it has in years. (If you ever see a worm in your stool, please see a doctor for treatment.) I feel so much more young and energetic now. Earlier, I used to walk like a 80 year old man, but after the juice fast, I am as active as my 10 year old daughter. Within these 15 days, my constipation and bad breath also eased.

Apart from the physical changes, have you noticed any mental or spiritual changes?

Yes, I have gained a lot more mental clarity and my mind is really sharp now. I am more productive and effective through out the day. Moreover, I feel internally happy and calm. There are no words that can express how grateful I am to Subah ma'am & this knowledge. For me, spreading this valuable knowledge of healing through nature has become a personal goal. Whenever, an opportunity arises I share this knowledge with others and also gift them a copy of Satvic Food Book.
