SNEVM is an acronym I created to describe a new paradigm for holistic healing. This new comprehensive healing approach is based on my extensive clinical observations of treating tens of thousands of patients over a period of 38 years. You can also call it new approach to holistic medicine or alternative medicine.
1. Stress Cure – First Step Of SNEVM
Stress cure is the first component of the SNEVM approach to holistic medicine because stress is a major contributing factor towards any illness. It causes excess release of stress hormones – cortisol and adrenaline – both of which affect every organ in our body.
Stress can be physical as well as emotional. Granted, we don’t have much control over physical stress, but emotional stress is a different animal. That’s why I decided to dig deeper to figure out what is the real cause of emotional stress. What I discovered is amazing! The real cause of emotional stress lies inside us, not out there. It is good to know because you can get rid of stress yourself without changing anyone else’s behavior.
I developed my own strategy to get rid of stress while still living in the stressed-out world. Those of my patients who learned it and put it into practice were able to achieve better control of their disease. For example, patients were able to lower their blood pressure after about fifteen of practicing this approach in my office. Diabetic patients saw a significant drop in their glucose control – Hemoglobin A1C – over a period of months. What patients with Graves’ Disease and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis observed was a cure of their disease.
Practical Tips To Live Stress Free:
- Simply rise above your Acquired Self. The Acquired Self is the root cause of all emotional stress. Once free of its tight grip, you become free of emotional stress.
- Live in the Now.
- Do meditation twice a day. Reignite the flame of Unconditional love inside your heart. Also feel peace inside your chest.
- Clearly see the distinction between the Real World – created by the Creator – and the Virtual World – created by the Collective Human Acquired Self.
- Stay anchored in the Real World while interacting with the Human Virtual world.

2. Nutrition – Second Pillar of SNEVM
I realized nutrition plays such an important role in our health. Modern nutrition is a major contributor towards any illness. I am not just talking about the obvious such as junk and fast foods. I observed that patients who were following so called good diets, were not doing too well. For example, my diabetic patients who followed the dietary guidelines – such as the diet from the American Diabetes Association – continued to have elevated blood glucose levels.
Finally, I entertained the idea that the “dietary guidelines” may be flawed and that turned out to be the case. The concept of modern nutrition is based on calories. What is a calorie? A unit to measure thermal energy. Hence, it is a valid concept in a heat-generating plant or a chemistry laboratory, but food is much more complex than just calories. In addition, the human body processes food in a manner very different from a power plant. For example, if you give the same amount of calories to two different individuals, you will see different effects in their bodies. Even in the same person, a certain amount of calories has different effects on two different days or even different times of the same day.
Therefore, I developed my own guidelines about Nutrition based on the actual foods and not the calories. Then, I put this nutrition guidelines into my clinical practice. The results have been amazing!
Practical Tips For Healthy Nutrition:
- Avoid all PROCESSED FOODS, which includes all commercially prepared foods, no matter what the label claims. Processed foods include canned foods, prepackaged foods, frozen foods etc. All processed foods contain preservatives, additives and chemicals that are known to be harmful.
- Eat food that you prepare yourself or a chef prepares it for you from scratch at a sit-down restaurant and not a fast food restaurant.
- Life energy in food starts to dissipate after it is harvested.For this reason foods stored in freezers and refrigerators are “Dead Foods.” Always eat freshly prepared foods.
- Do not fall for any form of extreme diet.
- Eat less amount of food if you are overweight and eat more if you are thin. In general, eat only two meals a day (late breakfast and lunch) if you are overweight. On the other hand, eat three to five meals a day if you are thin.
- Consume a balanced food: A variety of fresh fruits and vegetables (of the season), grains, lentils, beans, nuts, eggs, milk, cheeses, butter, ghee, olive oil, avocado oil, and almond oil, sunflower oil. Eat meats and fish if you were raised in a non-vegetarian family. Avoid meats if you were raised in a vegetarian family.
- Stay vegetarian if your ancestors have been vegetarian. Similarly, stay non-vegetarian if your ancestors have been non-vegetarians. Why? Because your Innate Intelligence carries all the information from your ancestors including their eating habits and adaptation to certain foods.
- Watch out for food sensitivities that some people are developing these days, largely due to processing of food. Cow’s milk is one such example. If your body does not agree with cow’s milk, try goat’s milk. Try to grow your own fruits and vegetables.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and recreational drugs.
- Use of plastic and aluminum foil can lead to accumulation of nano-particles of plastic as well as aluminum in your body and cause serious chronic diseases such as cancer, autism and Alzheimer’s dementia.
- Avoid microwave oven at all costs as it can lead to a host of medical illnesses including cancer, autism and Alzheimer’s dementia.
If you have Type 2 diabetes or a Thyroid disorder, please learn healthy and practical nutrition approach in my books on Diabetes and Thyroid disorders. You can purchase these books at Amazon. Even better, you can read these books for free right now on your screen.
3. Exercise, Sleep, Sex – The Third pillar
The third component of SNEVM is a balance between exercise, sleep and sex.
Practical Tips For Exercise:
- Too much exercise is as bad as no exercise. Avoid extremes in any form. Stay “Middle Of The Road.”
- Exercise regularly such as walking, jogging, running etc.
- Stretch your body several times a day.
- You may want to do some weightlifting once, twice or three times a week. Keep your muscles toned up. Try to go to a gym. It helps to meet fellow human beings in a gym.
- Try to play some social sports such as pickleball, tennis, basketball, soccer, baseball, volleyball, cricket, hockey, etc. It not only provides a good cardiovascular workout, but also builds friendships. Social interaction is so important for our emotional and spiritual health.
- Try to stay away from competition, at least in your mind. Don’t get trapped into a win-lose game of the mind. Play a sport to have cardiovascular exercise, skill, good reflexes, comradery, and mutual respect. Playing a sport is one way to stay in the NOW.
- Know your limitations.
Practical Tips To Get Adequate Sleep:
- Avoid heavy, late dinners.
- No caffeinated drinks.
- Don’t watch any screen after sunset.
- Go for a short brisk walk in the evening. Avoid intense exercise such as jogging, running or playing sports.
- For the family time at dinner, set a time (for example 8 PM) after which no one should be talking about politics or other negative stories. Share only pleasant experiences of the day.
- Watch stars and moon. In addition, listen to Silence of the night. Resonate with Stillness that trees are immersed in. It is such a mystical experience that no words can describe it.
- Do a 15- minutes of meditation. Simply sit comfortably in a chair or on the floor. Relax consciously, take a few deep breaths and then start counting your breaths. It is helpful (but not mandatory) to close your eyes.
- Listen to relaxing instrumental music. Here is one example of relaxing flute music that will prepare you for a deep sleep.
- Consider taking my dietary supplement, “Magnesium Glycinate” at your bedtime.
Sexual Activity:
- Sexuality is a fundamental law of nature. Like all other life forms, we humans are sexual beings.
- All life forms engage in sex once they reach puberty. Unfortunately, most societies have created negativity towards sex. Every society downloads its version of “permissible sexual behavior” into your growing Acquired Self. In simple words, society tells you how, where, when, and with whom you may have sex or otherwise you will be punished. This is one of the ways society tries to keep you under its control.
- Stay sexually active. Don’t suppress your natural sex libido. However, respect your society’s rules about sexual relationships.
- Don’t be afraid to express your sexuality. However, find a way that society allows.
- Acquired Self is the main reason for lack of libido, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation etc.
- Sexual energy, when used properly has tremendous healing capability. However, if used inappropriately, it can lead to fatigue and other mental and emotional issues.
- The best time for sexual activity is in the morning when male testosterone (and overall energy level) is at its peak, not at night when testosterone is at its lowest.
- Avoid alcohol (and other recreational drugs) as it lowers testosterone, numbs your senses and prevents healing capacity of sexual energy.
4. Vitamins – Minerals – Essential Oils, The Fourth Component Of SNEVM
The fourth component of SNEVM is vitamins, mineral and essential oils.
Unfortunately, most people are low in vitamins and minerals due to a variety of reasons such as commercial farming, our modern lifestyle, and extreme diets.
For example, almost everyone is low in Vitamin D. Most people are low in Magnesium, Zinc and antioxidants.
Subsequently, people suffer from physical, emotional and mental health issues. That’s why most individuals should take vitamins and minerals to stay healthy and combat illnesses.
High Quality Vitamins:
- It is important to find high quality vitamins. Otherwise you are wasting your money.
- The best vitamins should contain the highest quality ingredients, in optimal amounts, and in appropriate combinations. Obviously, it requires a healthcare professional with a thorough medical knowledge and clinical experience to formulate a dietary supplement.
- In addition, the manufacturing facility must at least be certified for GMP – Good Manufacturing Practice. FDA-registered facilities are even a notch higher as far as quality is concerned.
Essential oils used as aromatherapy or on the skin have been used since the ancient times to improve physical, emotional and mental health. Recent scientific studies do testify to their potential health benefits.

5. Medications – Last part Of SNEVM
Sometimes, we need medications. However, modern medicine relies too heavily on them. Medications should be the last and not the first choice. Take medications only when necessary and stop them as soon as you don’t need them, because every medicine carries a number of potential, serious side-effects.
