Spectro-Chrome Therapy (SCT)
* Colonial Dinshah Ghadiali M.D., D.C., Ph.D., L.L., Born in Bombay, India, in 1873 to a Parsee watchmaker of Persian descent ( the Zrorastrian faith to which he adhered is often referred to as “the Faith of Light”). Dinshah’s special genius and industry soon became apparent. He began primary school at three, and high school at eight. By his eleventh year he was an assistant to the Professor of Mathematics and Science at Wilson College, Bombay. He took his university exams at fourteen, winning proficiency awards in English, Persian, and religion. In his spare time, he was to achieve competence in eight oriental and eight occidental languages.
* His greatest achievement was the development of a medical treatment system based on the properties of light (i.e., Spectro-Chrome Therapy…SCT). SCT ultimately became a member of The Suppressed Inventions and Other Discoveries Club. The medical status-quo wanted to protect the profits generated by the established science (Vested Interests), and reluctance to change (Mental Inertia).
Examples of SCT
1. During the plague years of the early 1900s, Dinshah’s eclectic and unorthodox ministrations effected an 80 % recovery rate, in contrast to the 40% recovery expectations of conventional medical practice.
2. Responding to an influential Theosophist friend’s urgent summons, Dinshah ( from his supervisory position in a major light installation several hundred miles away from central India) travelled to the bedside of his friends aunt who was dying from mucosa colitis (dysentery). Upon arrival, Dinshah faced several handicaps. The attending physician of record was a prominent Parsee and the Honorary Surgeon of no less than a personage than the Viceroy of India. The old woman revered him as a demigod, but contemptuously referred to Dinshah as “that kid doctor”.
For three days he had to watch silently as her health continued to fail rapidly under a brutal but conventional medicinal regimen. Although the regimen was well thought and in conformity with the best recommendations of the British Pharmacopaedia, Dinshah saw that the opium administered for the pain was stressful to the heart; the catechu, although a good astringent, was a peristalsis inhibitor, the chalk, intended as a binder, was an intestinal irritant; the bismuth subnitrate, a local antiseptic, choked the alimentary canal; and the anti-flatulent chloroform was escharating damaged tissue.
As Dinshah noted; thus she stayed two days more, drinking the poisonous concoction. On the third day she was in such a condition that she lifted hands to me and implored me, “O, Dinshah, save me!” Medically she was beyond recovery and I said with a sigh, “Call on the Almighty to save you dear girl, I have no power, no medicine of which I know can be of service to you, but if you let me I shall endeavor to do the best otherwise.” She nodded her consent and I promptly threw out the drug mixture.
I brought indigo colored pickle bottles to act as slides. Within 24 hours the 100 daily bowel evacuations were reduced to 4 a day; within 48 hours they came down to 2, the third day she was out of bed!
3. “She described a remarkable case of a child so badly burned that there seemed no hope of her recovery. With the use of the SCT ( primarily using the color turquoise…blue plus green…the child is almost entirely cured.”
4. “Susie T., age 9, was admitted to the Woman’s Hospital with a sloughed appendix and peritonitis, and developed pneumonia. It was an emergency operation at nine o’clock at night. There was nothing left of the appendix to remove. there was quantities of pus. The wound could not be closed, free drainage was provided and the child put to bed with little hope that she would live until morning. For some days, an enema would simply pass through and out of the abdominal opening. I used SCT with lemon, turquoise, and magenta colored lights and eventually she did leave the hospital in good condition.”
* SCT was never accepted as a bonified medical therapy.
