The Study of the Science of Spirituality from MAGIC to METAPHYSICS –
(Prof. York Dobyns Phd(Princeton University) USA. Faculty Energy
medicine, University California, USA).
Dynamic Acupuncture Medicated Metaphysical (DAMM) Therapy
(Research experience with (Dr.) Rajan Iyer’s DAMM
therapy).
Introduction:
Epistemology is the study of the branch of Philosophy concerned with nature
and scope of knowledge, theory of knowledge, truth, belief and justification.
The term was introduced the Scottish Philosopher James Frederick Ferrier
(1808-1864).
At TAG-VHS Diabetes Research Centre, we are studying an extraordinary and
amazing healing modality (in human illnesses) which is a combination of
several energy-healing mechanisms, mediated through Acupuncture - points in
the body and reaching the brain centers and the Autonomic Nervous System :
Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy.
This corrects microcellular energy imbalances through infusion, via. the needle
points, of the Macrocosmic energy, by the person who is the healer; Viz. in our
centre this is being done by (Dr.) Rajan Iyer for the past 18 months.
What is Epistemology of Metaphysical Energy?
It is knowledge stemming out of ancient wisdom, of perceived belief and
verifiable facts, over many millennia, by people, virtually all over the world!!
Examples :
a) About 750 years ago the efforts of the Vaishnavite Saint Ramanuja, to
personally take the Idol of Lord Venkateswara and install it atop the Thirumala
(seven hills) amidst the jungle with no path & replete with hostile animals is a
recent and perfect example of the metaphysical (Superhuman) energy assisting
the saint!
b) The millions / billions of Christians whose perceived belief is the resurrection
of crucified Jesus Christ, is again a perfect example of metaphysical energy at
play!
c) The Saivaite lore has it that many millennia ago “Markandeya” predestined
to die at 14 years of age, was able to arrest and thwart the Inexorable march of
Dharmaraja and won the battle of longevity, through metaphysical energy and
got the name of “Kalasamharamurthy” – (vide Abirami Andhathi at
Thirukadayur, South India)!
The Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy which we
are presently researching at the TAG-VHS Diabetes Research Centre, perhaps
contains a very minute fraction of this metaphysical energy and is delivered
through acupuncture points by an experienced & trained person who has
himself undergone several years of experience in this modality of healing, in
human illnesses. Our current research – over the past 18 months – has given us
an insight into the various medical conditions where this could be used with
efficacy and speed and without any drugs or interventional procedures that are
conventionally used.
We have documented several hundreds of cases that have responded very
positively with Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy.
1. Locomotor problems – Osteoarthritis severe crippling spondylitis, IV disc
prolapse, sciatica etc.
2. Cranial Nerve Palsies – Bell’s palsy, 3rd & 6th Nerve Palsy, also in cases of
non organic erectile dysfunction.
3. Traumatic and spontaneous Brain Haemorrhage, Ischaemic stroke,
Neurodegenerative conditions, Dementia, Parkinsonism, Cases of Cerebral
palsy and Anoxic brain damage at birth resulting in mental retardation and
related conditions in children.
4. Any type of Coma & altered consciousness (stroke, metabolic, infective,
Anoxic etc.) – all show often instant positive response if DAMM therapy is given
early).
5. Liver conditions like Cirrhosis; acute and chronic pancreatitis including
calculus pancreatitis have improved with his therapy.
6. We have tried this in kidney failure especially secondary to drug induced
causes (Statins & NSAID) with good success.
7. Cracking the code of Betacell
A recent study under taken has revealed the remarkable effect of the
Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy’s success in
improving Type I Diabetes Mellitus (Juvenile insulin dependent Diabetes
Mellitus) by significantly increasing the Fasting C-Peptide Levels in these cases
(children).
This effect of Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy
which we have started to research, is very exciting since it is path-breaking and
documented for the first time in the world of Diabetology as a non-invasive
technique to improve the condition of the young Type I Diabetics and lessen
their insulin dependence, by increasing the basal Serum C-Peptide Levels.
There are many other rare conditions, chronic conditions, Brain - anoxic
vegetative patients who have all had significant palliative improvement with
the Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy.
In this following presentation we are outlining the case history and response,
and full follow-up of 6 diverse cases which were scientifically documented in
great detail and depth.

Two Cases of Calcific Pancreatitis +
Diabetes
Mrs. L aged 74 years, came as an emergency to TAG VHS DRC on
24/09/2013 with the C/o. Acute upper abdomen pain, belching ++ since
morning, but no vomiting. She was seen by the Resident doctor at the
Senior Citizens Centre where she and her husband stay, she was given
some preliminary treatment using Inj. Pantoprazole, Inj. Cyclopam, etc,
but her abdominal pain was increasing and when she arrived at our
centre it was unbearable.
On admission, clinical findings showed: Abdomen - guarding +,
tenderness ++.
Routine baseline investigations done, in which the pancreatic
enzymes were very high (Serum Amylase - 1501.5 U/L – (normal
range 23-88), Serum Lipase - 3558.0 U/L – (normal range<=60).
USG Abdomen done on 24/09/2013 also showed enlarged head of
pancreas & Heterogenous. Foci of calcification seen in head of
pancreas. Dilated pancreatic duct. Peri pancreatic fluid collection +.
Fatty liver. Features of acute pancreatitis.
To give relief from the acute pain immediately she was given one
session of Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM)
therapy by (Dr). Rajan Iyer.
From the 2nd day onwards, she was able to take oral feeds and
started showing good improvement, there was no pain.
On the 4th day repeat USG Abdomen showed Fatty liver, the head of
pancreas and pancreatic size has regressed. Features of pancreatitis
have regressed.
On the 5th day, the enzymes were rechecked (28/09/2013) Amylase -
69.9 U/L (normal range 23-88), Lipase - 126.3 U/L (normal range
<=60).
MR Cholangio Pancreatography done on 01/10/2013 shows Fatty
infiltration of liver. Hemorrhagic cyst measuring 8x6 mm in lower pole of
right kidney. Bosniak category I cyst measuring 7x3 mm in upper pole of
right kidney. MR study of pancreas shows no abnormality.
This case of Acute pancreatitis was unique in that she was not given any
pain killer and she responded to the Non-Drug DAMM therapy by (Dr.)
Rajan Iyer. It is particularly important to note the rapid return to normalcy
of the pancreatic pathology both clinically and in imaging within 4 days of
this new modality of metaphysical therapy that is being researched in our
centre.
She is advised to follow up with revised prescription and report after 2
weeks.

42 year old man, presented with the past history of T2DM, with
recurrent episodes of pancreatitis since 2010 requiring repeated
hospital admissions (in 6/2010, 12/2010, 11/2011, 01/2012) i.e. no
permanent cure.
At the time of these pancreatic disturbances, his blood sugars were
elevated and he needed insulin for control.
The endoscopy report done on 07/04/2011 showed Gr I reflux
oesophagitis in the lower oesophageal sphincter. Generalised
gastritis and acute erosive gastritis in the antrum. H-pylori positive.
He was treated for the same and was complaint-free for a few
months.
MRI Abdomen done on 16/11/2011 – “Mild acute pancreatitis, MRI
showing bulky pancreas with peripancreatic inflammatory changes.
No Pancreatic duct dilatation. No variation of pancreatic duct
anatomy demonstrated. No cholelithiasis/choledocholithiasis.
Sludge is however seen within the distended gall bladder on
ultrasound. No biliary dilatation. (Biliary variant noted with low
insertion of the right posterior sectoral duct into the common
hepatic duct).”
He was admitted in a corporate hospital on 12/01/2012 with C/o. Abdominal
pain and vomiting and he underwent Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy.
Biopsy report done on 16/01/2012 suggestive of Gall bladder,
Cholecystectomy; Chronic calculous Cholecystitis. There is no evidence of
malignancy.
Even after that he had an episode of Acute pancreatitis in April 2012. He was
suggested Jejunostomy if he gets another attack of acute pancreatitis in
future.
He was referred for Ayurvedic management in June 2012.
Even with the ayurvedic treatment + Allopathic management, he was getting
frequent symptoms of Nausea, vomiting, abdominal burning sensation.
He had an another attack on 12th January 2013 and treated with IV
antibiotics and supportive measures as domicillary care under the advice by
Gastroenterologist.
The repeated CT Abdomen done on 12/01/13 showed: “Bulky head and
uncinate process of pancrease with peripancreatic fat stranding and small
perpancreatic fluid collection. Calcification in head of pancreas with
irregular dilation of pancreatic ducts and intraductal calcifications. Features
of acute on chronic pancreatitis. Hypodense Lobulated circumferential wall
thickening of D2 segment of duodenum causing luminal narrowing. In view
of co-existing acute pancreatitis, the duodenal wall thickening is probably
inflammatory in etiology. However, neoplastic cause cannot be ruled out.
Suggested endoscopic biopsy.”
He was referred to renowned senior gastroenterologist for second
opinion who suggested Gastrografin meal and Bulida scan to rule
out duodenal obstruction.
Meanwhile, he was started on Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated
Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy by (Dr.)Rajan Iyer to improve his
condition in February 2013. After that, he did not have any
symptoms for the past one year and no further hospital admission.
He is still continuing the DAMM therapy with (Dr.)Rajan Iyer once in
20 days.
The above renowned senior gastroenterologist himself was
surprised about his improvement and advised not to do the
suggested Gastrografin meal and Bulida scan.
Two cases of Type 1 Diabetes & 1 case
of MODY – (Cracking the code of
Betacell activity).
Master D admitted to TAG VHS DRC on 27/05/2013 with high
blood sugars and with the classical osmotic symptoms of weight-
loss nearly 5 Kgs over 3 months and polyphagia, polydipsia,
polyuria.
He complained of on & off abdominal pain since 3 months
Thoroughly investigated in Mumbai revealing elevated blood
sugars.
On admission, he was in a state of ketosis (CBG: 528 mg/dl, Urine
sugar: 3+, Urine ketone: Large) but there was no evidence of
acidosis. (He was not breathless, electrolytes especially
bicarbonate was normal 25 meq/l).
From Day 1 of admission, he was started on a new modality of
treatment Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM)
Therapy by (Dr.) Rajan Iyer, to improve his Betacell activity - he
took 6 sittings.
During this period, initially, he was started only on an Ayurvedic
pill – Cap. Tam QR (2 pills thrice a day) for sugars.
The fasting C-Peptide when he came here was 0.888 mU/L done on
28/05/2013 and other investigations were normal.
On the 3rd day, he was started only on combo insulin (Inj. Novomix
30/70) twice a day. The dose was adjusted taking into
consideration his blood sugar values, eating habits etc.
The final prescription at the time of discharge was Inj. Novomix
22U pre breakfast & 14U pre dinner along with Cap. Tam QR -1
thrice a day.
His low backache got better and he started gaining weight @ 0.4
Kgs every day.
A detailed discussion on his diet was held with his parents.
Training was imparted to him and his parents in the self –
administration of injection and home monitoring of blood glucose.
At the time of discharge he was free from
complaints, cheerful, energetic, & urine acetone negative.
Post- admission –
First OP session (13 – 15 Aug. 2013) Review after 3 months
Repeat fasting C-Peptide value was 2.35 mU/L.
During this visit, he took 2 sittings of DAMM Therapy.
Cap. Tam QR was stopped.
Second OP session (30/12/2013 - 03/01/2014):
5 sittings of DAMM Therapy continuously.
Post therapy C-Peptide value showed 2.46 mU/L.
Insulin dosage was reduced to Inj. Novomix 18U pre breakfast, 8U pre
dinner and Tab. Glynase XL 5 mg twice a day before food was added.
When he went back home, he started experiencing frequent
hypos. Hence morning dose was reduced to 14U and night dose to
6U.
Even with this his hypos continued. His night dose was thus
completely stopped.
Presently - morning dose of insulin and Tab. Glipizide 5 mg twice a
day.
In February 2014, his weight: 48 kgs (previous: 44.7 kgs) C-peptide
value was 2.24 (previous: 2.46), FBS: 115 mg/dl, PPBS: 211
mg/dl, HbA1c: 8.1%,
Symptom- free with only one dose of insulin along with OHA.

Five year old child
Known patient of IDDM / Megaloblastic anemia/ Red cell
hypoplasia.
Speech and hearing – impaired.
Genetic Syndrome described by referring Senior consultant
Paediatrician and Haematologist which is associated with Diabetes
Mellitus being treated as T1DM with insulin injections twice a day.
His Fasting C-Peptide level was 0.2 on 08/12/2010, well below the normal
limit (hardly any endogenous insulin secretion). Usually genetic syndromes
associated with Diabetes are not Type I Diabetes (Eg: Prader – Willi &
Refsum’s Syndrome).
We started on Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated Metaphysical (DAMM)
Therapy for this child to observe the clinical improvement.
After 3 sittings: the blood sugars improved ; night dose of insulin stopped.
2 days later after 5 sittings of DAMM therapy, further improvement in his
Capillary Blood Glucose values and insulin was completely stopped for 24
hours.
Post breakfast: 88 mg/dl, Post Lunch: 79 mg/dl. (without insulin for 24
hours.)
(He had 5 days of DAMM therapy from 03/04/2014 to 08/04/2014
and the CBG readings pre & post procedure.
03/04/2014: Day 1: Pre CBG: 118 mg/dl, Post CBG: 110

taken without insulin for the last 24 hours. )
The above reading and the clinical status of the child assessed by Dr.
C.V.Krishnaswami.
He was not on insulin for 2 weeks and he was continuing DAMM
therapy once a week all his capillary readings are within range. 2
weeks later the lab tests also showed FBS – 82.3 mg/dl, PPBS: 190.4
mg/dl done on 22/04/2014, weights remain same throughout. The
child is active. He gets up once to pass urine in the night.

elevated blood sugars and classic metabolic symptoms in 2009 and
she was diagnosed as ? MODY / ?IDDM.
First 6 months she was on Oral Hypoglycemic Agents later she was
initiated on insulin along with OHA.
She was under regular followup care.
April 2014, Fasting C-Peptide level reported 0.92. Both patient and
the family members are well explained about the latest a new
modality of treatment Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated
Metaphysical (DAMM) Therapy by (Dr.) Rajan Iyer, to improve her
Betacell activity.
In the month of May, she had 5 sittings of DAMM therapy by (Dr.)
Rajan Iyer. 2 weeks later Fasting C-Peptide levels were repeated
which shows 1.05.
During and after therapy she experienced hypoglycaemic symptoms
and her insulin dosage was reduced.
She was advised to come after 2 weeks for followup therapy.

A case of Bilateral Pheochromocytoma
with Severe Secondary HTN in a young
girl.
DOA: 29/07/2013; DOD: 31/07/2013
13 year young girl presented with the h/o. Acute abdominal pain in both
flanks + para umbilical and epigastric region.
She was admitted in CMC Hospital, Vellore where a diagnosis of
Malignant Hypertension secondary to bilateral Pheochromocytoma was
made and she was advised immediate surgical treatment. She came to
TAG VHS DRC for a second opinion and alternative modality of treatment
as her parents did not want surgery until all avenues were explored. USG
abdomen done on 17/07/2013 showed features of bilateral adrenal
Pheochromocytomas, larger on the right side, bilateral increased cortical
echoes - probably nephritic changes secondary to hypertension.
On admission, BP: 160/110 mmHg, PR: 112 per min, Weight: 31.2 kgs.
ECG shows hypertensive changes secondary to Pheochromocytoma.
Routine investigation done on 30/07/2013, showed elevated TWBC
count: 12,220 cells/mm3, platelet count: 6.14 lakhs/mm3 and ESR:
133 mm/hr.
Her blood pressure monitored 4 to 5 times a day and her previous
medications Calcium Channel Blocker (Tab. Nifedipine) was
substituted and in that place, she was started on Metroprolol (Tab.
Seloken XL 12.5 mg) and Perindopril (Tab. Coversyl 2 mg).
She was started on a trial of Dynamic Acupuncture Mediated
Metaphysical (DAMM) therapy by (Dr.) Rajan Iyer from 29/07/2013
– continued daily for a week.
After 7 sittings of DAMM therapy, she felt better and there was no complaint of
abdominal pain and BP was under control.
She was continued DAMM therapy once a month and was regularly followed up; She
has improved tremendously both symptomatically and clinically (also physically and is
presently studying in 10th standard).
She attained menarche shortly after starting treatment with us and has completed
about 1 year of followup with no complications so far.

After 1 sitting of DAMM Therapy the nystagmus disappeared and he
responds to sounds by turning the head towards the direction of
sound.
After 2nd sittings of DAMM Therapy on the same day, the baby
turned on his stomach & lifted his neck & head.
After 2 days of DAMM therapy, eye ball roving disappeared. Extra
ocular movements better. Left cortical thumb opened up. Reduced
spasticity in lower limbs. Child was able to lie down in supine

like with “aa aa”. Able to express like and dislike with monosyllabic.
Able to look at object and identify colours and shape. Able to show
similar objects in form and colours. Able to identify animals and
fruits.
There is 30% improvement in tracking object. Eye movement control better.

The child was reviewed by the Paediatric Neurologist, who had seen the child
before the start of DAMM therapy and had opined that this one year old
child’s milestones and mental age corresponded to that of a 2 months old
child.
After 3 months of therapy the same specialist was pleased with the progress
made by the child; and he graded the improvement of milestones and mental
age to that of a 8 months old child. This improvement was heartening and
was evident to all the staff who has been following this child’s treatment.
The child is continuing the therapy regularly.
