Excelsior Correspondent
Srinagar, Aug 2: Dr. Agarwal Hospitals and Gene Research Foundation, Bangalore, organized a free health camp at the Bureau office of Daily Excelsior here today.
The camp, held in association with the Daily Excelsior, provided services to over 50 people, mostly journalists, in the afternoon. The major part of the camp was the Autologous Immune Booster Therapy.
Before administering the booster therapy, the doctors examined the vision of the patients, recorded their blood pressure, oxygen levels in the blood, heart rate, and random blood sugar.
Dr. Sunita Rana Agarwal, speaking on the occasion, said that the camp aims to boost the immunity of the patients through the therapy, helping them fight diseases more effectively.
“We take one drop of blood from the fingertip, make the patient’s own fetal DNA and stem cells in one minute, and give it back as injections to the patients. It is an Autologous Immune Booster Therapy, which uses the patient’s DNA and stem cells,” she explained.
She added that, in the long run, the therapy is designed to address any DNA mutation the patient might have or any systemic disease to some extent.
“Back in Bangalore, we treat congenital diseases and advanced cases, but here the focus is on boosting the immune system of the patients. When we place the DNA back into circulation, it helps the patient fight diseases better,” Dr. Agarwal noted.
It is worth mentioning that Dr. Agarwal Hospitals and Gene Research Foundation has been offering their services to the nation for nearly 100 years. Additionally, they have conducted similar camps in Sri Lanka, Assam, Jammu and Ladakh.
Senior journalist Sheikh Tariq lauded the organizers for holding such a health camp, terming it necessary for the journalist fraternity, who are often under stress.
“I got the necessary check-up done here. We are usually high on BP due to stress; however, I appreciate the organizers for this initiative. Such camps should be held every month, especially for journalists,” he said.
Another journalist, Ubaid Malik, highlighted the significance of such camps, emphasizing that people should not avoid doctors and should address health issues in a timely manner.
“Journalists hardly get time to take due care of their health; this camp is a great initiative. Life is busy and complicated, and in that context, booster therapy helps a great deal,” Malik remarked.
