For Tomorrow : Immunity is Priority and Not Vaccination: Dr Devan PP

"I have not taken a Covid-19 vaccine, although everyone in my hospital has taken it", claimed Dr Devan PP, currently Professor and Head of the Department of ENT at AJ Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Centre, Mangaluru.

In a candid interaction with this correspondent, he dispelled many notions in practice ever since the globe has been hit by the worst ever pandemic. He is of the firm opinion that in the present scenario it's building up your immune system while simultaneously adhering to necessary precautions which matters the most.

To persistent queries, if so what about the mammoth exercise underway to vaccinate the whole country, he blasts: "The present vaccines are not for a separate variant of the virus. And till now we are noticing multiple variants quite active all over. If the vaccines alone were enough to curtail the viral load, then how come you don't have one for HIV"?

Dr Devan PP

Dr Devan PP has 30 years of experience in Immunology apart from treating chronic Tonsilitis patients without taking the rescue of antibiotics. He's also a Gold medalist in Immunology for his PG Program along with being among the frontrunners in developing a vaccine.

Medical Fraternity has no clue: Dr Devan PP is pained at the loss of lives worldwide due to Covid-19 ranging from 1,000-3,000 deaths per day. At the same time, he's afraid about the practices being deployed to identify and treat the infection. On the whole, he feels the Medical fraternity has no clue on what's happening and what needs to be adapted to tackle the problem.

He minces no words in hitting at the tendency of doing RTPCR(Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) for detecting Covid-19 infections. "It's not worthwhile in investing in these tests. Karry Mullis who invented this method in 1983 has made it very clear that such tests should not be done for diagnosis. In fact, what is required is Rapid Antigen Test and not RTPCR".

While functioning as, In Charge of Covid-19 ward, he came across several instances wherein the outcome of the RTPCR tests made a mockery of the entire process. " There were many full-blown cases despite the findings of RTCPR tests being Negative", he reveals.

What's the meaning of undergoing such tests when such results make no sense in practice. What is required is a Rapid Antigen Test. But there is no one to listen, laments Dr Devan PP.

Baba Ramdev minted Rs 1,000 crores: About indigenous homemade remedies and Ayurvedic medicines to treat Covid-19 infections, he is categorical: "Maybe during initial stages of cold, flu and other symptoms, they might be helpful. However, such systems do not have enough data or R&D to substantiate the claims being made in the present scenario".

Then what about the much-hyped "Coronil Wonder Drug" from the Patanjali group? Dr Devan PP just laughs at the query. Baba Ramadeva, who went to the extent of dubbing Allopathy as a hoax was later compelled to regret his remarks. Initially, he tried to avoid getting vaccinated but was forced to take the doses. In the meantime, his drug minted Rs 1,000 crores!"

The rationale of Cardiologists on Covid Panels: Dr Devan PP, when inquired about the present practice of appointing cardiologists to head the Covid-19 Task Forces, took a dig at the tendency: "Covid-19 related initial infections are basically related to gasping for breath. It's the duty of Pulmonologists to remove the mucous blocking the lungs. Dr Shankara Chetty and Dr Emmanuel Taban in South Africa have succeeded in saving a large number of lives by adapting to this methodology. But placing cardiologists on Covid-19 panels is not mandated", he felt.

When Punjab Chief Minister's Son Was Paraded On Underwear

Year, 1959, Place Amritsar. Some Indian Army Officers & their wives went to the Railway Station to see off one of their colleagues. Some goons made lewd remarks against the women & tried to molest them. The Army Officers chased the goons who took shelter in a nearby Cinema Theatre. The matter was reported to Commanding Officer Col Jyothi Mohan Sen. On learning about the incident, the Col ordered the Cinema Hall to be surrounded by troops. All the goons were dragged out, the leader of the goons was so heady and drunk with power; he was none other than the son of Chief Minister of Punjab, Pratap Singh Kairon, a close associate of the then PM, Jawahar Lal Nehru. All the goons were stripped to their underwear, paraded in the streets of Amritsar & later interned in the Cantonment. The next day, the Chief Minister became furious & tried to release his son from Indian Army's incarceration. Do you know what happened? His vehicle was not allowed to go into the Cantonment a...

Basavanna: Equality, Humanity and Human Rights

Bengaluru: Akshaya Trutiya is the birthday of Lord Basaveshwara or Basavanna, the 12th-century revolutionary poet and religious reformer who rebelled against all blind beliefs, practices and rituals of Hinduism. It also goes to his credit of bringing God to one’s palms while simultaneously and vehemently opposing the tradition of visiting temples and places of pilgrimages in search of the almighty. Interestingly, unfortunately, or sadly what his followers or disciples have been doing all along would be another separate topic for discussion and better to forget for the time being. A Hindu Protestant: Dr Godwin Shiri, former Director of Christian Institute For The Study Of Religion And Society (CISRS), Bengaluru, during an informal interaction, opined-“Basavanna can be aptly described as a Hindu Protestant as he was in the forefront of opposing blind beliefs”. Influenced by Buddha: Mallikarjun G Kelagade, former Director of the Department of Information and Public Relations (DIPR) kee...

Bengaluru: Arya Durga Kirani Stores, with Rukmini and Saraswati outlets, are household names for all those residing in and natives of Dharwad. It was a humble and austere beginning, dating back a few decades, thanks to hard work, sincerity, and trustworthy behaviour with customers, the business flourished and grew in leaps and bounds in an unimaginable proportion. Started working at the age of eight years! The owner, late Gajanan Vitthal Shetti, was primarily from Ankola in the North Canara (Karwar) district. Ankola, a coastal town, is renowned for its Salt Satyagraha during the freedom struggle movement. The financial condition of Shetti's family was too critical, making it too difficult to meet even the basic demands of day-to-day life.
