Conversations and Morning Walks

1977 Conversations and Morning Walks

Yes.
Visit From Allopathic Doctor -- October 10, 1977, Vrndavana:

Doctor: That much is sufficient. There are three medicines.

Dr. Kapoor: Three syrups. One tablespoonful of each. Mix them. Mix it up.

Doctor: No, it will bother. Better to take just one medicine and then after five minutes another medicine. So if all the three are taken together it will not be harm in mixing them. To mix them whole process once in morning, once in evening, after some food.

Upendra: After some intake, yes.

Dr. Kapoor: After some juice or whatever he takes.

Upendra: So that means these three medicines three times a day?

Dr. Kapoor: Two times, after meals. After meals. Mix them up, the three syrups, mix them up, one tablespoonful each. And give three tablespoonfuls after meals, twice.

Upendra: How soon after meal?

Doctor: Just along with meal. While making up with it. Unless he feels tired, then of course, you can give it separately. Otherwise just along with it, fruit juice.

Dr. Kapoor: And does he take vegetable juice?

Upendra: No.

Doctor: Something must be given of his liking.

Upendra: But Prabhupāda hasn't got any taste.

Prabhupāda: Liking... (Bengali)

Doctor: Does he like lemon?

Dr. Kapoor: Lemon, can you take lemon?

Prabhupāda: Yes. (Hindi between Kapoor and doctor)

Doctor: That you add one lemon with it.

Upendra: In the fruit juice.

Doctor: In the fruit juice. Lemon will improve appetite.

Dr. Kapoor: Fruit juice, put some glucose in it, thirty grams glucose, and one lemon.

Upendra: And how much fruit juice should Prabhupāda take at one time?

Doctor: Ad lib. As much as he likes. Because fluid intake is very necessary, whether it is water or fruit juice or in any way he likes. And regarding the treatment of the swelling, we can approach, we can approach it scientifically only after the urine report. If there is nothing wrong with that, then some diet can be increased. And if there is something in urine or some other thing is present, then even then this much diet is a necessity, it must be continued.
