Be Warned? *Ultra-Modern Medical Science* Authored by *Dr. Ananya Sarkar*
*This is not a joke…🙏*
*Please read, and if you like it, let others read it too!*
You had a fever for two or three days. Even if you didn’t take any medicine, your body would have healed on its own in a few days.
But you went to see a doctor.
Right at the start, the doctor prescribed a bunch of tests.
The test results didn’t show any specific reason for the fever. However, they found slightly elevated cholesterol and blood sugar levels — something quite common in normal people.
The fever subsided, but now you were no longer just a patient with fever.
The doctor told you:
> "Your cholesterol is high. Your sugar is slightly elevated. That means you’re pre-diabetic. You’ll need to start medication to control cholesterol and blood sugar."
Along with this came multiple dietary restrictions.
You may not have strictly followed the food restrictions — but you didn’t forget to take the medicines.
Three months passed. Tests were done again.
Your cholesterol levels dropped a bit, but now your *blood pressure* was slightly elevated.
Another medication was prescribed.
Now you were on *three medicines*.
Hearing all this, your anxiety increased.
> “What next?”
> Because of this worry, you started losing sleep.
> The doctor prescribed *sleeping pills* — and now your medicine count increased to *four*.
After taking all these medicines, you started experiencing *acidity and heartburn*.
The doctor advised:
> “Take a gas tablet on an empty stomach before meals.”
> Now you were on *five medicines*.
Six months passed.
One day, you experienced *chest pain* and rushed to the emergency.
After a full checkup, the doctor said:
> “Good thing you came in time. Otherwise, it could’ve been serious.”
More tests were recommended.
After undergoing a series of expensive tests, the doctor told you:
> “Continue your current medicines. But now add two more for the heart. Also, you should see an endocrinologist.”
> Now you’re on *seven medicines*.
As advised by the cardiologist, you saw the endocrinologist.
He added another *diabetes medicine* and a *thyroid pill* for mildly elevated thyroid levels.
Now your total medicines count was *nine*.
Gradually, you started believing that you’re seriously ill:
* Heart patient
* Diabetic
* Insomniac
* Gas problems
* Thyroid issues
* Kidney issues
... and the list goes on.
No one told you that you could maintain your health through improved *willpower, self-confidence, and lifestyle choices*.
Instead, you were repeatedly told that you are a *severe patient*, weak, incapable, and a broken person.
Six months later, due to the side effects of all these medicines, you started facing *urinary problems*.
Further tests revealed *possible kidney issues*.
The doctor conducted more tests. After seeing the report, he said:
> “Creatinine levels have slightly increased. But don’t worry — as long as you take your medications regularly.”
> He added *two more medicines*.
Now you’re on *eleven medicines*.
You’re now consuming *more medicines than food, and due to the side effects of these drugs, you are slowly moving toward **death*.
What if, in the beginning, when you first visited the doctor for your fever, the doctor had simply said:
> "No need to worry. It’s just a mild fever. No need for medicine. Just take rest, drink plenty of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, go for a morning walk — that’s all. No need for any drugs."
*But then… how would the doctor and the pharmaceutical companies make a living?*
### The biggest question???
*On what basis do doctors declare patients as having high cholesterol, high BP, diabetes, heart disease, or kidney disease?*
*Who sets these standards?*
## Let’s explore this a bit deeper:
* *In 1979, the blood sugar level considered diabetic was **200 mg/dl. At that time, only **3.5%* of the world population was classified as type-2 diabetic.
* *In 1997, under pressure from insulin manufacturing companies, the diabetic threshold was **lowered to 126 mg/dl, which suddenly raised the diabetic population from **3.5% to 8%* — meaning *4.5% more people were labeled as diabetic without any real symptoms*.
In *1999*, the WHO accepted this guideline.
Insulin companies made massive profits and opened more factories.
* *In 2003, the **American Diabetes Association (ADA)* further reduced the fasting blood sugar level to *100 mg/dl* as the pre-diabetic standard.
As a result, *27%* of people were suddenly classified as diabetic without cause.
* Currently, according to ADA, *post-meal blood sugar of 140 mg/dl* is considered diabetic.
Because of this, around *50% of the global population* is now labeled diabetic — many of whom are not truly ill.
Indian pharmaceutical companies are trying to reduce this further, to an *HbA1c of 5.5%*, thus turning even more people into patients and increasing drug sales.
Many experts believe that HbA1c up to *11%* should *not* be considered diabetic.
### Another example:
In *2012, a major pharmaceutical company was fined *\$3 billion** by the *US Supreme Court*.
They were accused that, between 2007–2012, their diabetes drug *increased the risk of heart attacks by 43%*.
The company *knew this in advance* but *deliberately hid it for profit*.
During that period, they earned *\$300 billion* in profits.
*This is today’s “ultra-modern medical system”!*
🧏♀️ *Think… Start thinking*...
✅ Definitely worth sharing...
🧏♂️*May everyone stay healthy and happy — that may be our wish today for all humans.*

The Final Advice especially for Elders ( above 50 years age)
Aging is not a disease, it is a necessary path.
A few words should be said to the elderly and their children:
First, remember: not all discomfort is a disease.
Second, the elderly are most afraid of being "scared". Don't be scared by the physical examination report or be fooled by advertisements.
Third, the most important thing for children is not to take their parents to the hospital, but to accompany them for walks, sunbathing, eating, and talking.
Ageing is not the enemy, but the wrong perception is.
Always Remain Positive: We humans are God's especial creation and there is a complete balanced system incorporated inside our body and our healthy habits and positive ways of life arising from positive thinking are good enough prescriptions for healthy long life.
