“We are spiritual beings having a human experience. However what really happens is that over time particularly we as “humans” forget our true nature and let our system get contaminated.  We have realised is that we have the power to return our system back from sickness to wellness with the support of all interventions at the physical, mental and emotional and astral levels of our energy system, remarked Blossom Furtado, Founder & President, ATO.

We hope to organize many such workshop in future not only for cancer patients but also for our staff and doctors who are constantly engaged in dealing with cancer patients. This workshop focuses on treating the mind and the soul. We treat the body with chemotherapy, surgery and radiation but are also trying to combine modern medicine and holistic healing approach.” asserted Dr Gupta.
