Re:Dealing with 'Majid phenomenon'.

[Guest guest]

Dear Forum members,

Unfortunately we have come across few qualified Doctors in Non allopathic

also taking the advantage of this testing phenomena.

For instance, one Dr. Mahesh Doshi in Kandivali-Mumbai uses Photo Worship

Therapy and fool people. I have witnessed one such case, but patient was

relactant to complaint. This Dr. also has contacted MDACS (He claims!)

offering help.

Some Ayurvedic companies utilise, the name of professor of the various

institutions and 12th world conference, Geneva to promote their

products.Only thing their study was presented in this conference as

poster.Many doctors have presribed their Medicines after this claims. These

are new versions of Majid's phenomena.

I don't want to say that Ayurvedic medicines are useless,but tactics to

sell products are not good. I was shocked to hear the name of the

professor who testfied these products.

One of the mistake we all do is to say " there is no treatment in modern

medicine as yet " This leads the sufferer to go to this type of people.

On the other end too much of advertisement on reduction in prizes of

Antiretroviral and high claims of its effectiveness frustate people when

the reality is known. 90% of the HIV patients can not afford it, even at

3300 Rs./month (which I belive is the lowest).

In recent week I have noticed the " syndrome of helplessness " in many

patients, as they learnt that the prizes have fallen and yet they can

not afford it. " This also leads some of the PLWH to fall in trap of

quakes.

Still there is lots of hope to crub Majid's phenomena.

Dear Forum members,

There is an existing Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against Mr. Majid.

I think the 'Lawyers Collective HIV/AIDS Unit Mumbai' has initiated the

PIL. The e-mail id of Lawyers Collective is aidslaw@....

Their contact person is Mr. Vivek Divan. You may write to him for greater

details and prospect avenues of further co-operation.
