MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS MEETS
an AYURVEDA VAIDYA

Produced by Foundation “MS-Moga Sam”

A fascinating documentary that provides a revealing overview of this ancient holistic healing system. Ayurveda is one of the oldest holistic medical systems in the world. It is indigenous to India where it has been practiced for over 5,000 years. The term in Sanskrit means “science of life.” It combines medical and spiritual approaches to promote health and balance between mind, body, and soul.

This fascinating documentary directed by Nikolay Vassilev is filmed in India, in the Ayurveda clinic “Ayush Prana” – the world’s only ayurvedic specialty hospital for multiple sclerosis. The documentary features the stories and interviews of patients from all over the world with Multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases, and a multidimensional overview of this ancient system that has been called “the mother of all healing systems”.

Human system in Ayurveda is a combination of body and mind. And there’s no difference between mind and body as in other systems of medicine. In Ayurveda, the therapies work to improve health by restoring balance, enhancing energy, promoting mental and emotional equanimity, and fostering greater patient self-awareness. They include diet and nutrition (based on three body types named dosha – vata, pitta and kapha), herbology, bodywork and massage, mind-body medicine. Herbs are at the very heart of the Ayurvedic tradition. For the successful recovery from each of the diseases, the Ayush Prana clinic uses patented, custom-made, highly concentrated, and potent herbal preparations for each of the patients, which are more than 8000 across the globe. The clinic has its own family pharmacy where is producing ayurvedic herbal medicine on a very high standard in organic and proofed quality.

AyurBrain documentary explains how due to the centuries-old experience of this tradition, most of the incurable disease in the modern conventional medicine system are curable in Ayurveda.

My vision

More than 16 years ago, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis – something that is truly incurable by the traditional medicine. In addition to my diagnosis, back then, I also received and the sentence by the neurologist – “within 2 years you will be in a wheelchair.”

Today, I live an amazing life with the diagnosis and I’m one of the most active and energetic people I know. What I am today is in spite of the “verdict” I received. And it’s not because of or thanks to what medicine was able to do for me. Even then I understood that I had to seek my personal salvation alone, elsewhere. This search connected me to Ayurveda (translated from Sanskrit as “science of life”) – one of the oldest medical systems in the world, which has been practiced for over 5,000 years. It was Ayurveda that helped me to overcome and stop the progression of the diagnosis thanks to the rhythmic treatment I received for years at the world’s only Ayurvedic specialty hospital for multiple sclerosis – Ayush Prana, Kerala, India.

With this movie, I want to tell more about this clinic, where thousands of people from all over the world have received treatment in the last nearly 20 years. Ayurveda is an opportunity for anyone diagnosed with a severe neurological degenerative disease to restore the lost balance between mind, body and soul. Because every disease in its root is psycho-physical, beyond the symptomatology of the body. The root of the disease is in the mental world of the human’s experiences, emotions, way of life, understanding and life path, which almost no one takes into consideration.

I firmly believe that everyone has the right to choose how to heal themselves – body and mind, but in order to have that choice it is good to have information about the options today. I believe that humans possess enormous inner potential. With the right steps, each of us who has a severe diagnosis, can unlock this potential and take adequate steps towards good health. For this purpose, all of us, both doctors and patients, must be open-minded in seeking the various possibilities of mastering the medical cases in front of us and look at them as a situation that affects our whole body, mind and soul.

And let’s face it – the main obstacle to creating a healthier world is not a lack of technology, funding or new discoveries. The obstacle is our distorted perception of what is normal (correct) and this prevents us from taking advantage of even things that we already know and have known for centuries.

The documentary AYURBRAIN explains how thanks to the centuries-old experience of this tradition, most of the incurable diseases in the modern system of conventional medicine are curable with an Ayurvedic approach. An approach that is not limited to just gathering herbs and preparing oils, as most people think, but is guided by deep and centuries-old healing traditions, which today successfully deal with our new, modern diagnoses.

I believe that the knowledge that this film shares can overturn the conventional medicine paradigm regarding the incurability of this and other diseases. As well as I believe that this is a common mission that requires us to be intelligent, thinking and responsible people for our health. Let’s root out ignorance and stop denying the possibilities, but start looking for treatment options beyond the boundaries of conventional knowledge. Healing is possible. And at this stage in human history, it is absolutely necessary. Everything that I have experienced, seen and learned up to this point instills in me a true belief that we have it in us and we can do it.

Testimonials

Exciting, meaningful, made with heart! This film is about life and change, about awareness and the need of it! This is a dream!
Mariya
The film was extremely inspiring, giving hope and a real possibility that a condition called MS can be stopped and even reversed. I know I will visit the clinic one day.
Dimitar
The film is impressive, sobering and incredibly inspiring. It reminded me how much we have moved away from nature and ancient sciences like Ayurveda and we have also stopped hearing our inner voice. 
Extremely motivational film. I had goosebumps for a long time remembering certain scenes of the movie and things Dr. Prashant's patients shared in the movie. The film challenges you to think and most importantly - to act.
Damiyana
Despite the difficult fate of people with MS, I personally found in the film a message of Hope. A Hope that even if we are not in the best health condition right now, we can change it. It's up to us and depends on our personal choices.
The film focuses our attention not only on MS but also on Ayurveda in a very accessible and interesting way. After I watched the film, I changed my way of cooking. I bought books with Ayurvedic recipes and started a whole new way of cooking and eating for myself.
