Dynamic Acupuncture Medicated Metaphysical (DAMM) Therapy

(Research experience with (Dr.) Rajan Iyer’s DAMM

therapy).

Introduction:

Epistemology is the study of the branch of Philosophy concerned with nature

and scope of knowledge, theory of knowledge, truth, belief and justification.

The term was introduced the Scottish Philosopher James Frederick Ferrier

(1808-1864).

At TAG-VHS Diabetes Research Centre, we are studying an extraordinary and

amazing healing modality (in human illnesses) which is a combination of

several energy-healing mechanisms, mediated through Acupuncture - points in

the body and reaching the brain centers and the Autonomic Nervous System :

Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy.

This corrects microcellular energy imbalances through infusion, via. the needle

points, of the Macrocosmic energy, by the person who is the healer; Viz. in our

centre this is being done by (Dr.) Rajan Iyer for the past 18 months.

What is Epistemology of Metaphysical Energy?

It is knowledge stemming out of ancient wisdom, of perceived belief and

verifiable facts, over many millennia, by people, virtually all over the world!!

Examples :

a) About 750 years ago the efforts of the Vaishnavite Saint Ramanuja, to

personally take the Idol of Lord Venkateswara and install it atop the Thirumala

(seven hills) amidst the jungle with no path & replete with hostile animals is a

recent and perfect example of the metaphysical (Superhuman) energy assisting

the saint!

b) The millions / billions of Christians whose perceived belief is the resurrection

of crucified Jesus Christ, is again a perfect example of metaphysical energy at

play!

c) The Saivaite lore has it that many millennia ago “Markandeya” predestined

to die at 14 years of age, was able to arrest and thwart the Inexorable march of

Dharmaraja and won the battle of longevity, through metaphysical energy and

got the name of “Kalasamharamurthy” – (vide Abirami Andhathi at

Thirukadayur, South India)!

The Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy which we

are presently researching at the TAG-VHS Diabetes Research Centre, perhaps

contains a very minute fraction of this metaphysical energy and is delivered

through acupuncture points by an experienced & trained person who has

himself undergone several years of experience in this modality of healing, in

human illnesses. Our current research – over the past 18 months – has given us

an insight into the various medical conditions where this could be used with

efficacy and speed and without any drugs or interventional procedures that are

conventionally used.

We have documented several hundreds of cases that have responded very

positively with Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy.

1. Locomotor problems – Osteoarthritis severe crippling spondylitis, IV disc

prolapse, sciatica etc.

2. Cranial Nerve Palsies – Bell’s palsy, 3rd & 6th Nerve Palsy, also in cases of

non organic erectile dysfunction.

3. Traumatic and spontaneous Brain Haemorrhage, Ischaemic stroke,

Neurodegenerative conditions, Dementia, Parkinsonism, Cases of Cerebral

palsy and Anoxic brain damage at birth resulting in mental retardation and

related conditions in children.

4. Any type of Coma & altered consciousness (stroke, metabolic, infective,

Anoxic etc.) – all show often instant positive response if DAMM therapy is given

early).

5. Liver conditions like Cirrhosis; acute and chronic pancreatitis including

calculus pancreatitis have improved with his therapy.

6. We have tried this in kidney failure especially secondary to drug induced

causes (Statins & NSAID) with good success.

7. Cracking the code of Betacell

A recent study under taken has revealed the remarkable effect of the

Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy’s success in

improving Type I Diabetes Mellitus (Juvenile insulin dependent Diabetes

Mellitus) by significantly increasing the Fasting C-Peptide Levels in these cases

(children).

This effect of Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy

which we have started to research, is very exciting since it is path-breaking and

documented for the first time in the world of Diabetology as a non-invasive

technique to improve the condition of the young Type I Diabetics and lessen

their insulin dependence, by increasing the basal Serum C-Peptide Levels.

There are many other rare conditions, chronic conditions, Brain - anoxic

vegetative patients who have all had significant palliative improvement with

the Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy.

In this following presentation we are outlining the case history and response,

and full follow-up of 6 diverse cases which were scientifically documented in

great detail and depth.

Two Cases of Calcific Pancreatitis +

Diabetes

Mrs. L aged 74 years, came as an emergency to TAG VHS DRC on

24/09/2013 with the C/o. Acute upper abdomen pain, belching ++ since

morning, but no vomiting. She was seen by the Resident doctor at the

Senior Citizens Centre where she and her husband stay, she was given

some preliminary treatment using Inj. Pantoprazole, Inj. Cyclopam, etc,

but her abdominal pain was increasing and when she arrived at our

centre it was unbearable.

On admission, clinical findings showed: Abdomen - guarding +,

tenderness ++.

Routine baseline investigations done, in which the pancreatic

enzymes were very high (Serum Amylase - 1501.5 U/L – (normal

range 23-88), Serum Lipase - 3558.0 U/L – (normal range

From the 2nd day onwards, she was able to take oral feeds and

started showing good improvement, there was no pain.

On the 4th day repeat USG Abdomen showed Fatty liver, the head of

pancreas and pancreatic size has regressed. Features of pancreatitis

have regressed.

On the 5th day, the enzymes were rechecked (28/09/2013) Amylase -

69.9 U/L (normal range 23-88), Lipase - 126.3 U/L (normal range

MR Cholangio Pancreatography done on 01/10/2013 shows Fatty

infiltration of liver. Hemorrhagic cyst measuring 8x6 mm in lower pole of

right kidney. Bosniak category I cyst measuring 7x3 mm in upper pole of

right kidney. MR study of pancreas shows no abnormality.

This case of Acute pancreatitis was unique in that she was not given any

pain killer and she responded to the Non-Drug DAMM therapy by (Dr.)

Rajan Iyer. It is particularly important to note the rapid return to normalcy

of the pancreatic pathology both clinically and in imaging within 4 days of

this new modality of metaphysical therapy that is being researched in our

centre.

She is advised to follow up with revised prescription and report after 2

weeks.

42 year old man, presented with the past history of T2DM, with

recurrent episodes of pancreatitis since 2010 requiring repeated

hospital admissions (in 6/2010, 12/2010, 11/2011, 01/2012) i.e. no

permanent cure.

At the time of these pancreatic disturbances, his blood sugars were

elevated and he needed insulin for control.

The endoscopy report done on 07/04/2011 showed Gr I reflux

oesophagitis in the lower oesophageal sphincter. Generalised

gastritis and acute erosive gastritis in the antrum. H-pylori positive.

He was treated for the same and was complaint-free for a few

months.

MRI Abdomen done on 16/11/2011 – “Mild acute pancreatitis, MRI

showing bulky pancreas with peripancreatic inflammatory changes.

No Pancreatic duct dilatation. No variation of pancreatic duct

anatomy demonstrated. No cholelithiasis/choledocholithiasis.

Sludge is however seen within the distended gall bladder on

ultrasound. No biliary dilatation. (Biliary variant noted with low

insertion of the right posterior sectoral duct into the common

hepatic duct).”

He was admitted in a corporate hospital on 12/01/2012 with C/o. Abdominal

pain and vomiting and he underwent Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.

Biopsy report done on 16/01/2012 suggestive of Gall bladder,

Cholecystectomy; Chronic calculous Cholecystitis. There is no evidence of

malignancy.

Even after that he had an episode of Acute pancreatitis in April 2012. He was

suggested Jejunostomy if he gets another attack of acute pancreatitis in

future.

He was referred for Ayurvedic management in June 2012.

Even with the ayurvedic treatment + Allopathic management, he was getting

frequent symptoms of Nausea, vomiting, abdominal burning sensation.

He had an another attack on 12th January 2013 and treated with IV

antibiotics and supportive measures as domicillary care under the advice by

Gastroenterologist.

The repeated CT Abdomen done on 12/01/13 showed: “Bulky head and

uncinate process of pancrease with peripancreatic fat stranding and small

perpancreatic fluid collection. Calcification in head of pancreas with

irregular dilation of pancreatic ducts and intraductal calcifications. Features

of acute on chronic pancreatitis. Hypodense Lobulated circumferential wall

thickening of D2 segment of duodenum causing luminal narrowing. In view

of co-existing acute pancreatitis, the duodenal wall thickening is probably

inflammatory in etiology. However, neoplastic cause cannot be ruled out.

Suggested endoscopic biopsy.”

He was referred to renowned senior gastroenterologist for second

opinion who suggested Gastrografin meal and Bulida scan to rule

out duodenal obstruction.

Meanwhile, he was started on Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated

Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy by (Dr.)Rajan Iyer to improve his

condition in February 2013. After that, he did not have any

symptoms for the past one year and no further hospital admission.

He is still continuing the DAMM therapy with (Dr.)Rajan Iyer once in

20 days.

The above renowned senior gastroenterologist himself was

surprised about his improvement and advised not to do the

suggested Gastrografin meal and Bulida scan.

Two cases of Type 1 Diabetes & 1 case

of MODY – (Cracking the code of

Betacell activity).

Master D admitted to TAG VHS DRC on 27/05/2013 with high

blood sugars and with the classical osmotic symptoms of weight-

loss nearly 5 Kgs over 3 months and polyphagia, polydipsia,

polyuria.

He complained of on & off abdominal pain since 3 months

Thoroughly investigated in Mumbai revealing elevated blood

sugars.

On admission, he was in a state of ketosis (CBG: 528 mg/dl, Urine

sugar: 3+, Urine ketone: Large) but there was no evidence of

acidosis. (He was not breathless, electrolytes especially

bicarbonate was normal 25 meq/l).

From Day 1 of admission, he was started on a new modality of

treatment Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM)

Therapy by (Dr.) Rajan Iyer, to improve his Betacell activity - he

took 6 sittings.

During this period, initially, he was started only on an Ayurvedic

pill – Cap. Tam QR (2 pills thrice a day) for sugars.

The fasting C-Peptide when he came here was 0.888 mU/L done on

28/05/2013 and other investigations were normal.

On the 3rd day, he was started only on combo insulin (Inj. Novomix

30/70) twice a day. The dose was adjusted taking into

consideration his blood sugar values, eating habits etc.

The final prescription at the time of discharge was Inj. Novomix

22U pre breakfast & 14U pre dinner along with Cap. Tam QR -1

thrice a day.

His low backache got better and he started gaining weight @ 0.4

Kgs every day.

A detailed discussion on his diet was held with his parents.

Training was imparted to him and his parents in the self –

administration of injection and home monitoring of blood glucose.

At the time of discharge he was free from

complaints, cheerful, energetic, & urine acetone negative.

Post- admission –

First OP session (13 – 15 Aug. 2013) Review after 3 months

Repeat fasting C-Peptide value was 2.35 mU/L.

During this visit, he took 2 sittings of DAMM Therapy.

Cap. Tam QR was stopped.

Second OP session (30/12/2013 - 03/01/2014):

5 sittings of DAMM Therapy continuously.

Post therapy C-Peptide value showed 2.46 mU/L.

Insulin dosage was reduced to Inj. Novomix 18U pre breakfast, 8U pre

dinner and Tab. Glynase XL 5 mg twice a day before food was added.

When he went back home, he started experiencing frequent

hypos. Hence morning dose was reduced to 14U and night dose to

6U.

Even with this his hypos continued. His night dose was thus

completely stopped.

Presently - morning dose of insulin and Tab. Glipizide 5 mg twice a

day.

In February 2014, his weight: 48 kgs (previous: 44.7 kgs) C-peptide

value was 2.24 (previous: 2.46), FBS: 115 mg/dl, PPBS: 211

mg/dl, HbA1c: 8.1%,

Symptom- free with only one dose of insulin along with OHA.

Genetic Syndrome described by referring Senior consultant

Paediatrician and Haematologist which is associated with Diabetes

Mellitus being treated as T1DM with insulin injections twice a day.

His Fasting C-Peptide level was 0.2 on 08/12/2010, well below the normal

limit (hardly any endogenous insulin secretion). Usually genetic syndromes

associated with Diabetes are not Type I Diabetes (Eg: Prader – Willi &

Refsum’s Syndrome).

We started on Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM)

Therapy for this child to observe the clinical improvement.

After 3 sittings: the blood sugars improved ; night dose of insulin stopped.

2 days later after 5 sittings of DAMM therapy, further improvement in his

Capillary Blood Glucose values and insulin was completely stopped for 24

hours.

Post breakfast: 88 mg/dl, Post Lunch: 79 mg/dl. (without insulin for 24

hours.)

elevated blood sugars and classic metabolic symptoms in 2009 and

she was diagnosed as ? MODY / ?IDDM.

First 6 months she was on Oral Hypoglycemic Agents later she was

initiated on insulin along with OHA.

She was under regular followup care.

April 2014, Fasting C-Peptide level reported 0.92. Both patient and

the family members are well explained about the latest a new

modality of treatment Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated

Metaphysical (DAMM) Therapy by (Dr.) Rajan Iyer, to improve her

Betacell activity.

In the month of May, she had 5 sittings of DAMM therapy by (Dr.)

Rajan Iyer. 2 weeks later Fasting C-Peptide levels were repeated

which shows 1.05.

During and after therapy she experienced hypoglycaemic symptoms

and her insulin dosage was reduced.

She was advised to come after 2 weeks for followup therapy.

A case of Bilateral Pheochromocytoma

with Severe Secondary HTN in a young

girl.

DOA: 29/07/2013; DOD: 31/07/2013

13 year young girl presented with the h/o. Acute abdominal pain in both

flanks + para umbilical and epigastric region.

She was admitted in CMC Hospital, Vellore where a diagnosis of

Malignant Hypertension secondary to bilateral Pheochromocytoma was

made and she was advised immediate surgical treatment. She came to

TAG VHS DRC for a second opinion and alternative modality of treatment

as her parents did not want surgery until all avenues were explored. USG

abdomen done on 17/07/2013 showed features of bilateral adrenal

Pheochromocytomas, larger on the right side, bilateral increased cortical

echoes - probably nephritic changes secondary to hypertension.

On admission, BP: 160/110 mmHg, PR: 112 per min, Weight: 31.2 kgs.

ECG shows hypertensive changes secondary to Pheochromocytoma.

Routine investigation done on 30/07/2013, showed elevated TWBC

count: 12,220 cells/mm3, platelet count: 6.14 lakhs/mm3 and ESR:

133 mm/hr.

Her blood pressure monitored 4 to 5 times a day and her previous

medications Calcium Channel Blocker (Tab. Nifedipine) was

substituted and in that place, she was started on Metroprolol (Tab.

Seloken XL 12.5 mg) and Perindopril (Tab. Coversyl 2 mg).

She was started on a trial of Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated

Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy by (Dr.) Rajan Iyer from 29/07/2013

– continued daily for a week.

After 7 sittings of DAMM therapy, she felt better and there was no complaint of

abdominal pain and BP was under control.

She was continued DAMM therapy once a month and was regularly followed up; She

has improved tremendously both symptomatically and clinically (also physically and is

presently studying in 10th standard).

She attained menarche shortly after starting treatment with us and has completed

about 1 year of followup with no complications so far.

The child was reviewed by the Paediatric Neurologist, who had seen the child

before the start of DAMM therapy and had opined that this one year old

child’s milestones and mental age corresponded to that of a 2 months old

child.

After 3 months of therapy the same specialist was pleased with the progress

made by the child; and he graded the improvement of milestones and mental

age to that of a 8 months old child. This improvement was heartening and

was evident to all the staff who has been following this child’s treatment.

The child is continuing the therapy regularly.
