My experience as a part of HELP.
I am truly proud , that I am a part of this unique organization.
Our's is the World's Largest Free Health Education center for people. It is our Mentor's initiative and farsightedness which has led to the establishing of this vast informative organization.
Today, patient education and awareness of health plays a significant and vital role. The common layman has every right of being well informed regarding his health. A well informed patient is a boon for himself and paves the way for many others as well, in the field of information. Therefore, come, discover what you are made of, the complex anatomy and working of your system created by Almighty, the function of your vital organs, the symptoms, the remedies, the treatment, as well as the ill effects of various illnesses. This is what we are for. The library not only boosts up the confidence of the layman, but also makes him aware of various alternatives, treatments thus making him stand tall amongst the others.
Our founder has a vision and I and the HELP Team are working towards accomplishing it.Patient education will gradually gain momentum and we see a new India, well informed, educative and self reliant. We also hope of establishing several centers elsewhere also.So do join us.Lets eradicate ignorance which is the root cause of all helplessness. Be well informed, face your doctor with confidence, discuss with him the pros and cons of your treatment, the various alternatives available etc. Thus help, HELP achieve what was once impossible and which would lead to better doctor and patient relationship.
I begin my day, everyday as it comes. Our team at HELP thus realizes that we are there to reach out and help every person who arrives at HELP looking for answers.At he end of the day there is contentment that we have contributed our bit. Let's take the pledge today, that we will stand proudly and serve selflessly towards building a new India and educate every patient who steps at HELP.
I myself went through certain books on Psychology and self help books. I could read very little.But the little bit of what I read brought about tremendous positive transitions in my life. So do come explore, and discover yourself as I did... Our purpose is to empower patients and we are working towards it. The common layman has knowledge as his weapon.Thus let Almighty give all the strength and equip us with what is required, in building a better tomorrow for all patients.

Discovering the secrets of Ayurveda for holistic health!
Ayurveda- the wisdom of the sages, is India's gift to the Western world. Through it's pure and essential natural elements, Ayurveda has worked wonders for so many conditions, that even modern medicine couldn't find answers to...We at HELP have always respected this revered ancient form of therapy, and in an effort to revive the wavering reliance of patients on this beautiful form of remedy, we had Dr. Gayatri Devi, throw some light on the various secrets Ayurveda had to offer for treating common disorders. Right from Losing weight to wiping those wrinkles off your face, she discussed so many safe and authentic options Ayurveda had to offer... We will definitely have a lot of important topics we will be discussing in the future talks too, dealing with application of Ayurveda at multiple points of your life...

Emergency Dial 1298- Now Help is at hand!
Kudos to the new HELP- line for Mumbai ! 1298 is the number everybody should be storing in the speed dials of their mobiles, so you are never far from a hospital when you need it the most... We were very impressed by this unique ambulance service started in Mumbai, and we had to help them spread the message when we invited them to HELP. Mr. Chris Walker opened our eyes to the situations that none of us would ever wish to be in, when they had rushed cardiac victims, accident cases to hospitals saving precious lives. It is well known how difficult it is to make it in time to any place in Mumbai with the traffic, so how does an ambulance manage to make it in time either? With intelligent GPS monitoring and stationing their vans outside railways, and other accident prone sites, having a direct dial number- yes, 1298 is a direct dial from mobiles too, these saviors are trying to do their best to at least give victims a good chance to survive... HELP salutes this noble service and we will always be proud to be associated with such organizations who are striving to do their bit for society through their efforts...
When a loved one has a psychiatric disorder- living with the challenge!
It is said very rightly, that the mind rules the body...Indeed, it is heart rending to imagine then, what is life like for patients, afflicted with a psychiatric disorder, and more so for their loved ones.
We at HELP have always tried to support a cause for those considerate enough to help such individuals, which is why we invited Binaifer, from Manav Foundation, to tell us from their numerous experiences, how it feels when someone you love, has a Psychiatric disorder, and what strength it takes to not give up on them. Right from understanding and accepting it as a medical disorder, to not blaming oneself or the patient for the quiet suffering they go through, we discussed many more important social issues. It is only through seminars like these, can we join hands to make a difference to their world. Probably, if they are at least given a respectable place in society, it will go a long way in helping them realize that they are not abnormal or just crazy, but just ill in a different way...
