Sadhguru on Neem & Turmeric, Fasting, Cancer

Sadhguru

. . . Yes if you take it everyday, one thing is you will never get any kind of, see people have various kinds of minor stomach infections. Which may not actually cause a disease, it may not be noticeable, but most people have minor stomach infections all the time. Which affects the effectiveness of your digestive system in so many ways. If you daily consume neem and turmeric, those things are very well taken care of, and you will never have any kind of parasites. They want you to be sweet, but if you're bitter in the morning, they'll go to coffee drinkers. (laughs)

Now, another aspect of it is, neem and turmeric together lowers the number of cancerous cells in your body, and about this spacing out the meal also. You must be aware of these things these days, see cancer means, it is not a disease really. It is your own cells turning against yourself. It is like criminals in a society, so, some cells have turned truant, they are playing their own games, they are not going with the game of the system, they are beginning to play their own individual games. That is a cancerous cell. They are highly energetic, and they need much more food than an ordinary cell does. Generally they say it needs over 50 times more food, than an ordinary cell, normal healthy cell does.

So one simple way of lowering the number of cancerous cells in your body. All of you have cancerous cells, yes, your aware of this? It is just that when the number of criminal's increase and they gang up together, it becomes a disease. Till then they are there but they don't really cause, see there are criminals in every society, they pick one pocket here there, that's all. But, if hundred of them get together, oh, then they can cause havoc in the town. So when they get together, is when you have cancer as a disease. Till then, there may be 100 cells which are moving around but if 100 get together for some reason. Usually, if there are certain disturbances in your energy system, naturally they will gather at that point. When that happens, it becomes disease.

So if you just give sufficient space between one meal and the other, everyday if you experience certain amount of hunger, many of these cancer cells will die, because they need a lot more food, than other cells. If you deprive yourself of food, the first cells that will die are the cancerous cells. So this is a simple way, with yoga and ayurveda, if you just go on periodic fasting here and there, you will just keep the cancerous cells below the safety limit. It is not like if you have cancer you start fasting, that's not it. But as a part of your life, if you do these things, it takes care of your general well being.
