The Natural reversal of all Diseases Dr Maimoona Mahomed studied Natural Medicine through a Canadian Institute of Natural Medicine.

Her professor, whom she studied under, worked for the US government, as a medical scientist researching and finding solutions for various dreaded diseases like Hiv, cancers, auto immune, diabetes, heart conditions etc.

Dr Maimoona is forever grateful to her mentors who have inspired her to reach out for her goals by assisting individuals regaining their optimum health the natural way.

She now specialises in natural reversals of all ailments and has a practice in the heart of Pretoria’s business hub Centurion, Pretoria.

SAIndia Magazine managed to get a chance to Interview her from her busy schedule and below is her Journey to Natures Healing.

I always had a passion to help people. I felt that was my purpose in life and this is how my calling to natural medicine began.

16 years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Lupus, multiple spine disorders including Spondylitis Scoliosis. Life seemed to come to an end for me because I was bed-ridden and summoned to a wheelchair. I was in constant agonising pain. My condition was worsening and it felt larger than life. Conventional medicine gave me no solution. At the time I was 27 years young with four beautiful children and a loving husband. I knew that I had to find a solution for my condition because I had alot left to achieve in life and besides my husband and kids needed me. My faith always reminded me that everything happens for a reason. Behind all adversity is a reward from Almighty. Almighty will never ever present a problem without a solution.

I started searching for answers and through prayer and determination I was led to a Russian naturopath that had this amazing machine which he used as a diagnosis tool.

This diagnosis tool assisted him in finding the root cause of my condition. He was able to inform me on my first visit about the viruses, bacteria, fungus and pathogens that had caused my problem. I was also told that my colon and liver was totally blocked with toxins and poisons.

This was a miracle discovery for me from Almighty as for the first time I was told the root cause for my illness. These tests discovered that part of my diseases were passed down from ancestral

Page 16

www.saindiamagazine.com

generations, from my mother’s womb in the form of parasites which resulted in some of my complaints.

I was than given my treatment protocol which entailed Quantam healing , change in lifestyle and most of all I was given Glyconutrients to support my immune system, support my cell function, repairing of my gut by way of detoxes and continuous liver detoxes. After six weeks into the treatment I did not require any morphine or any pain killers.

Thus finding and alternative root was my only solution. Finding the cause and getting rid of the symptoms was and is the most rewarding portion of my career. I’m now cured for the past 16 years with renewed health. I always knew that all diseases started in the colon and cleansing your colon and all organs you can get rid of diseases for longer.

This was a turning point in my life, and my getting totally healed inspired me in pursuing the natural medicine pathway for the past 12 years.

My method of testing is accurate and my treatment protocols are specific to each individual and tested before administering, thus obtaining the best results for my patients. I have helped the most challenged patients from all over the world. I travel extensively to neighbouring countries as I have individuals that are critically ill without any solution. Recently I visited Malawi for a wedding reception and met with some of my patients that I have treated 8 and 9 years ago with breast cancer, strokes, spinal problems, infertility, arthritis etc.

To this day they are still well and have introduced many more patients because they believe in our treatment. All credit goes to Almighty creator who allows healing through my hands.

My vision is to create confidence in my patients.

To “believe” that by applying my treatments as a lifestyle they would be able to live a healthy and balanced life once again.

I would love to live my purpose, by touching as many lives as I can by treating as many illnesses as possible and heal my patients fully to restore them back to health and wellness.

I pray that the Almighty gives me the strength, health and keeps me empowered to open more Natures Healing Centres.

Lots of light and love, Dr Maimoona Mahomed

St

Georges Hotel is synonymous for occasions and functions however; the wedding celebrations that took place over a 3 day period from the 15th of February till the 19th of February encompassed an extraordinary function like no other for Ashnee & Thyagan Mathen.

ight-year-old "Lion" actor Sunny Pawar, who created waves at the 89th Academy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles with his "The Lion King" act, returned home to a royal welcome as he stepped out of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport on Wednesday morning. Accompanied by his father Dilip Pawar -- a former sweeper-turned-son's business manager -- Sunny sat on the trolley stacked high with his luggage and was wheeled out to a large number of people cheering and waving, as a media battalion braced for an encounter with the young celebrity.

Though appearing a bit weary from a long-haul flight, Sunny was a bundle of energy, enthusiastically smiled and waved back at the people, as a couple of bouncers struggled to keep their valuable subject safe from the mobbing crowds.

Priyanka Chopra is not bothered with the FASHION POLICE Priyanka Chopra's Oscar look this year has generated a mixed response from the fashion gurus. But the Indian actress has stopped fretting over fashion police as everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Priyanka picked up a body-hugging gown by designer label Ralph & Russo to flaunt her toned frame at the 89th Academy Awards in Los Angeles.

The gown was done with geometric details with a structured bodice giving a peek-a-boo glimpse of Priyanka's svelte figure. She paired her gown with towering ivory heels, and accessorized the look with the bare minimum, drawing complete focus on the dress. Apart from getting trolled by many on social media, she even featured in the list of worst dressed celebrities at the Oscars by some foreign media outlets.

Talking about the fashion police, Priyanka also mentioned in an email interview earlier this month: "I used to (get bothered about fashion policing) but not so much now. Now, I wear what I like and what I'm comfortable in and if someone doesn't like that, they don't. "They are entitled to their own opinion."

Last year, Priyanka shot to fame on the foreign shores with her TV series "Quantico", which airs in India on Star World and Star World HD. She has since found increased presence at important red carpet events in the US -- even as she is gearing up to make her Hollywood debut with "Baywatch". In 2016, she had chosen a white embellished strapless Zuhair Murad gown for the Oscars, where she was one of the presenters. This year, however, she did not present any award.

The 89th edition of the Oscars ran high on the India factor with the presence of Priyanka, Indian-origin British actor Dev Patel, his mother and Indian child actor Sunny Pawar,

And another Hollywood marriage bites the dust. People reports that actress Scarlett Johansson and Romain Dauriac have split after two years of marriage. According to reports, the couple has been separated since the summer, though news of the split is just breaking now.

Johansson and Dauriac tied the knot back in 2014, shortly after welcoming their first and only daughter, Rose Dorothy Dauriac.

They were last photographed together in October in Paris when they celebrated the opening of their gourmet popcorn store, Yummy Pop, which they co-own together. The actress was previously married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2010.

Karan Johar HITS back at Kangana Ranaut Karan Johar says actress Kangana Ranaut's remarks about him promoting nepotism in the film industry doesn't hold true for him, adding that she made "sweeping statements" to make an impact.

Kangana, known for her brazen honesty, took a dig at Karan when she appeared in one of the episodes of his chat show "Koffee With Karan". She called him the "flagbearer of nepotism" in Bollywood. Karan expressed his views when a social media user, during a live chat session on Twitter, asked: "Was Kangana correct about nepotism?" He posted: "Not entirely! She made an impact with her sweeping statements!

That was fun... for her! And the show."

Asked whether he is obsessed with star kids, Karan said: "Ask Kangana." The year 2016 was a difficult one for Karan as his film "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" got into trouble due to the presence of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan.

Now, Karan hopes that he gets to spend a year without offending anyone. Asked about his biggest achievement, the filmmaker said it is surviving Twitter. Another thing he discussed during the chat session was his relationship status.

Karan, who wrote about his sexual orientation in his book, said he is "single, available and borderline desperate".
