I was overwhelmed by the western doctor’s diagnosis and was left dumbfounded and depressed. Nevertheless, I took the medications and saw her regularly to monitor my progress. Within 6 months of the treatment I felt that most of my symptoms would be controlled when on medication but would immediately come back when I miss the medicine. Along this time I started to develop other problems, some of them were digestive problems, fatigue and lethargy. This went on for two years until I was convinced that the medication I was taking was doing more harm than good and that this could never be a long term solution.

At that time, I was already feeling hopeless and desperate. My old symptoms are back and my digestive problems were getting worse. I found a new doctor who told me that my previous medication was wrong and prescribed me a new medicine. I took his advice and tried the new medication. With only two weeks on the medication I felt constantly nauseous and suffered bouts of vertigo which made me stop the medication and my visits to the new doctor. At this time I have had lost all my options since the two doctors I previously consulted were supposed to be on top of their field. I was also shocked to discover on the internet that numerous groups of people abroad have already formed small communities to fight the manufacturing and distribution of these prescription drugs I was taking. I later on learned to endure living with my symptoms and stop any kind of medication.

Within this year, I also had an endoscopy to check on my digestive complaints. The doctor discovered that I developed a hiatal hernia and said that the only solution to this is surgery. She prescribed a medication to help with the symptom and also changed the medications three times in the span of one year. I took different brands of anti acids and proton pump inhibitors. She said that I either had gastritis, dyspepsia or irritable bowel but did not really give a solution to the problem.

All these years, I have tried most of the medications, supplements, & therapies available in the country without any real solution until I discovered Ayurveda on the internet. For the first time, everything made sense. I learned the importance of knowing my body type and my own unique needs to live in harmony, and that no amount of medication can cure me unless I change my own lifestyle. I took an online Ayurvedic diagnosis and ordered herbal medication in India. With in two months on the Ayurvedic treatment I felt as if a block was taken out of my stomach. I also felt a significant improvement with all my other symptoms and for the first time experience hope in regaining my health back.

Ordering in India proved to be very costly and taxing. It took me almost another year to discover Sandhi Ayurveda Clinic and Father Jacob.

From then on, I have been on a path of continuous detoxification and healing. My bowel movements have become regular, my appetite stronger and I felt energy swelling inside me which I have not felt in years. I have found Father Jacob to be a man of great wisdom, generosity and compassion. Each of my visits proves to be extremely beneficial in all aspects of my life. I consult to him all my physical problems and he always gives sound advice which is based on a thousand year old wisdom of nature. I am also continuously amused to discover many solutions to everyday complaints like herbs and simple changes in diet and how these ways could have profound effect and have absolutely no side effects. Now I wake up everyday feeling hopeful and excited that my health is continuously improving and that my energy is slowly increasing thus improving the quality of my life.

With Ayurveda, not only have I been cured with most of my complaints but I also gained a deeper knowledge of life and nature. I will continue to embrace and live Ayurveda as a lifestyle and continuously share this knowledge to everyone I encounter. With the help of Ayurveda and Father Jacob I am now a believer that it is possible to attain perfect health. Mabuhay Ayurveda!!!

I was smoking for more than 22 years. In the last five years of those 22 years, I was coughing intensely. I took cough syrup, antibiotics and other expectorant preparations, but it didn't help. I then decided to consult a doctor at St. Lukes Medical Center. I was diagnosed to have chronic bronchitis. I stopped smoking and continued to take the prescribed western medication. My coughing subsided a little bit but every time I smelt smoke or other pungent odor, I started to cough intensely again. Often times it was coupled with cold, The coughing usually lasted for months.

It became worse when from Cairo. I was seated in the rear portion of the plain on the way back to Philippines. Smokers were all over me. It was one of the freakiest things that happened in my life. My lungs were full of second hand smoke and I was coughing like hell for weeks.

Luckily, during our retreat , a friend invited me to visit an Ayurvedic clinic in Mandaluyong. I met Fr. Jacob who introduces me to the ancient Indian Ayurvedic Medicine. He gave me some tablets color brown which taste like damped earth. After taking his medicines for one week my coughing slowed down and I was greatly relieved. I continue for one month and my coughing stopped. It was amazing.

Now I feel much better, my immune system is not only enhanced but strengthened. I still continue taking his medicines with lemon and huny everyday. I know that prevention is better than cure. I love Ayurveda and I want to share it with everybody.

I am Evangeline A. Annang, 59, a widow. In 1973, a doctor diagnosed my eyes of Galucoma. They were swollen and there was redness around the eye ball and very itchy. I often felt dizzy too. Hr prescribed many medicines, continuous check-up for almost one year and I started wearing eye glasses.

Seeing no improvement at all. I consulted another ophthalmologist. This ophthalmologist said my left eye was infected with cataract. He gave many medicines as well and I religiously took them for almost four years, but still I could not feel any relief. I thought I would go blind. In 1993 I became a victim of diabetes and despite taking allophatic medicines my FBS remained 8. My cholesterol level was 475 and blood pressure 160/100. This time, I was feeling dizzy more often than before and I had neck and shoulder pain. I found it very difficult to get sleep. I was worrying very much because I felt that my health was going bad everyday. Then a friend introduced me to Rev. Dr. Jacob. He explained to me what Ayurveda meant and he taught me what eat, how to exercise and what medicines to take.

A week after starting on ayurveda,I stopped all allopathic or Western medicines which I have been taking for ten years without stop, because in that one week the swelling on my eyebrows reduced and the pain diminished. I also began to sleep well after many years of sleepless nights. My FBS, cholesterol and BP levels began to drop. And I continued with Ayurveda.

Now, I am very happy. My sugar level is normal, my cholesterol and BP are normal, my eye sight is good. I feel that I am liberated from my sickness. Even without any medicines I feel healthy. I thank God for leading me to Ayurveda. No amount of other medicines could cure me. And I thank Rev. Dr. Jacob for being an instrument for my healing. Mabuhay Ayurrveda
