A construction engineer by profession, Sarath Manamperi thought he was fit
for his age and had no hidden sicknesses until he suddenly felt that his
heart beat was too high after a walk. Gradually, the feeling of tiredness
increased. A visit to a cardiologist revealed that his chest pain was due to
two blocks in the left and one in the right artery of the heart.
The doctor recommended surgery to place three stents as over 70 per cent of
the blood circulation was blocked in the left and 40 to 50 per cent in the
right side of the heart. The long waiting list for heart surgeries at the
Colombo National Hospital brought him luck. While he was in the waiting list
for the surgery, a friend recommended an oil which he thought would cut down
his cholesterol level before the surgery. He took one tablespoon of the oil
daily without knowing that a miracle was taking place in his heart.
On the day of the surgery Manamperi was taken in to the operation theatre
and his heart checked by the doctor. “There are no blocks in the left side;
they have cleared”, the doctor, who was unaware of the cause, said with eyes
wide in amazement.
The miracle oil helped Manamperi save Rs. 600,000 which he would have had to
spend on surgery and the 51-year-old engineer now drives daily from Gampaha
to Colombo. He’s happy that he leads a very normal and healthy life.
“It’s nothing but a miracle and shows the value of our ayurvedic medicines”,
Manamperi told the Sunday Observer from Sethsuwa Hospital, Batalanda, Sri
Lanka where the miracle oil is prepared.
Talk to the patients at the hospital, and one will realise the point of
calling this oil a miracle. ‘Pranajeewa’ (life giving) - the name of the oil
- suits the miraculous healing power which it boasts of.
At the hospital, four cauldrons filled with murky, oily liquid was boiling,
on moderate heat, non-stop, emitting an aroma that gave a soothing feeling.
This is the oil that gave life to Manamperi and many others who had suffered
from various acute and chronic ailments. It gave the hope of life to many
who came to the hospital as a last resort.
[image: image003]Over 200 natural herbs are cleaned, cut into small pieces
and squeezed to extract the maximum, mixed with water in 600 bottles (each
containing 750ml) and boiled to make decoctions, whereby the quantity is
reduced to 75 bottles. Five kinds of oil - margosa, sesame, castor, mee thel
and neem - are added to 36 decoctions which continue to boil round the clock
for over four and a half months. There are four tanks where potions for 2400
bottles are boiled using over 18 lorry loads of firewood for each tank.
There are over 200 kg of garlic in each tank and some very expensive herbs
like ‘Kunkumppu’, worth Rs. 150,000 a kg, imported from Kashmir, Iran or
Egypt.
The oils are made to a ‘secret recipe’ which was found in an ola leaf that
belonged to the veteran Ayurvedic practitioner, the late Ven. Dr. Waga
Gnanaloka Thera (monk). *Ancient recipe*
The ‘Pranajeewa oil’ which was prepared by the Ven. Dr. Gnanaloka Thera
(monk) following the 200-year-old ola leaf inscription which had passed from
generation to generation, had cured many patients who came to the Veda
Medura in the serene temple environment. Later, his student, Dr. Sujeewa
Vithanage, following in his teacher’s foot steps, developed the oil after
extensive research.
“The percentage of patients that are cured by our treatment is high; this
oil can cure over 70 per cent of the high risk ailments”, Dr. Vithanage
said.
The Pranajeewa oil is popular for its unique ability to bypass bypass
surgeries. According to Dr.Vithanage, over 60 to 70 per cent of his patients
who were recommended bypass operations had ‘escaped’ surgeries after
consuming the oil daily. Patients suffering from heart disease, diabetes,
hypertension, diseases of the nerves, kidney diseases, bladder stones,
certain types of cancers, all kinds of diseases of the skin, gastritis,
haemorrhoids, fistula, bronchial asthma, catarrh, sinusitis, phlegmatic
conditions, pains in the joints, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis,
and numerous other ailments were treated successfully with Pranajeewa Oil.
A study done by the Nawinna Ayurveda Research Institute, Maharagama with 10
patients who needed to undergo bypass surgery had revealed that the
Pranajeewa oil had helped them; five have already been found to not require
open heart surgeries. Lalith Weerasinghe who had unstable angina was among
this group.
He was warded at the Colombo South Teaching hospital, Kalubowila and his
operation was delayed as he had suffered from sore eyes and a urine
infection. In the meantime, he was introduced to the Sethsuwa Hospital and
willingly participated in the research. He was given the Pranajeewa oil and
found that his ECG turned out normal. “ The ejection function of the heart
increased by 70 per cent after taking the oil”, said Dr. Vithanage.
[image: image004]“I lead a normal life now. Earlier, I had chest pains when
walking and felt tired. I am happy now. I can tell you that this is a wonder
of traditional medicine”, the 54-year-old Weerasinghe, the ex-Ports
Authority worker said. *Research results*
Another research carried out by the Faculty of Science, University of
Colombo had found that the Pranajeewa oil has considerable antioxidant and
cytotoxic properties to treat cancer and other diseases.
According to Dr. Vithanage, the oil is effective in treating all types of
cancers, but especially worked for prostate cancer. It has been proved that
the herbal concentration in the oil reduces cancer cell growth, their toxic
effects and the spread of the cancers.
An American businessman, Dr. Werner Gregg, who had his cancer cured now
supplies Pranajeewa in the USA. He was recommended radiation treatment for
cancer, after discovering that his PSA growth was doubling every three
months. He had suffered for years, but had been afraid to undergo treatment
after he heard about the terrible side effects of the treatment. The only
option left for him was to inject female hormones which also had side
effects.
Dr. Gregg sought the help of his Sri Lankan friend, a retired group captain,
who introduced him to Pranajeewa, which had cured a family member of the
latter with heart disease. With strong faith and confidence, Dr. Gregg
started to drink two tablespoons of the very bitter oil base with a warm
glass of water, daily. He gradually felt that the hot flushes and fatigue he
was experiencing was drastically reduced. In just a month’s time he felt
better and discovered the PSA value had become normal.
After realizing the magical curative properties of the oil, Dr. Gregg
started popularizing Pranajeewa among his friends and relatives - a cancer
patient undergoing chemo treatment, his sister-in-law with terminal cancer
among others. Now he is the sole distributor of Pranajeewa oil in the USA,
through a specially formed company called Sun Imports.
[image: image005]According to a laboratory test carried out by the US-based
Compu-Food Analysis Inc in Bellingham, Washington, the oil does not contain
alcohol, artificial colouring or preservatives, heavy materials or poisonous
chemicals and is free of sugar and micro-organisms, bacteria and yeast.
Laboratory tests conducted by the Industrial Technology Institute of Sri
Lanka (ITI) also show that the oil doesn’t contain any ethyl alcohol or
heavy materials. The ITI also certified Pranajeewa as a traditional medicine
product and as better than the energy boosters available in the market.
Dr. Vithanage said he follows the great teaching methods of his guru, Dr.
Gnanaloka Thera (monk) and wants to see people who have lost hope and live
desperately, face life with hopes. “When a person suffers from an illness,
especially from a sickness with no cure, he lives in a lost world. Our aim
is to give life to such people. Lots of people who come to me are poor. When
they come to me, they have already spent their wealth searching for a cure”,
he said adding that he spends over Rs. 150,000 a month to treat patients
free-of -charge. Dr. Vithanage was honoured in July 2007 with the
prestigious Jeewanashoori Award by the Sri Lanka - United Nations Friendship
Organization (SUNFO). *Free treatment*
The doors of the Sethsuwa Hospital are open for free treatment for children
and Security Forces personnel. “The best lesson I learnt from my Veda
Hamuduruvo is not to run behind money, but to help the sick to gain
happiness”, he said.
The cost of preparing a bottle of Pranajeewa oil (750ml) is more than Rs.
2,000 and the prices of herbs have skyrocketed due to scarcity. Dr.
Vithanage who faced immense difficulties in finding herbs hopes to grow his
own herbal garden in a land donated by the Government.
“I faced many difficulties to maintain the same medicinal value and standard
of this oil with a shortage of supply of herbal ingredients. We mostly
import herbs from India, Iran and Egypt and others are found in the forests
of Sri Lanka”, he said.
When he explained his problem to Minister Rajitha Senaratne, he was able to
secure him land under the directives of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
Dr. Vithanage cited the names of many top Government and military officials
and other well known personalities who seek the healing powers of Pranajeewa
oil.
Dr. Vitanage, cautioned the public about fake products where Pranajeewa oil
is sold mixed with other oils. He said that Pranajeewa oil is sold only at
the Nawinna Ayurveda Hospital and Suwasetha Hospital in Sri Lanka.
Announcing another achievement of Pranajeewa oil, Dr. Vithanage said the oil
will be exported to USA as a dietary supplement. The first sample will be
handed over to President Rajapaksa in early November.
“If someone somewhere in the world is experiencing pain, suffering and
discomfort, it is my first consideration that I make him or her well. We
strongly believe that those in the medical profession - especially in
ayurveda - are here for a purpose - that is to cure, and not to make an
extravagant living out of the profession.”
That is the motto of Sethsuwa Hospital in Sri Lanka which manufactures the
miraculous life-giving oil.
Finally, it is a wonder that each plant grown in the country’s forests has
its own unique therapeutic values to cure the popular ailments of this
century.
