Raj Bhachu, described by the Daily Telegraph as being at the “Cutting Edge of Complementary Health,” is a bio-regulatory medicine practitioner.
Gentle and patient, his peaceful and calm nature pervades his Northwood Hills practice. In Raj’s consulting room with its unique bio-resonance testing equipment, there is a display of food and drink alternatives subtly presenting patients with healthy choices.
Raj uses a combination of different therapies like bio-resonance, sound therapy and a pressing technique to bring optimal wellness to a patient.
He not only treats locals, but also famous footballers, pop stars, big industrialists and celebrities from all around the world. Why do patients fly in from, for example, America, Australia, India, Israel, South Africa, when they have good practitioners out there? They fly in for a day or two, go back home, then return six weeks later for another appointment with him.
Says Raj,
“The key is our ability to focus on what is causing the disease, then remove it.
We deliver something that will bring them good health. Symptoms start to disappear. For that, anyone will travel round the world. These people will do anything it takes to get out of pain. If you are in pain, say with rheumatoid arthritis, you want to be out of pain, out of dis-ease. They’ve usually tried everything under the sun.
Usually I am the last practitioner so I not only have to work with all of the clutter that they have accumulated in their life, but also the very serious condition they arrive with here.”
Early Memories.
Raj was born in Nairobi, Kenya. His father is a successful structural engineer. Early memories are of hiking, camping, climbing mountains and picnicking on Mount Longonot, game safaris, and beach holidays. He studied at Oshwal High School, a Kenyan private school.
“It was lots of fun, I had the best teachers. They taught us how to love subjects. We had Chemistry on Saturdays, I remember.”
Raj came from a well settled family, but his parents decided it would be good for him to leave Kenya at 16 and come alone to the UK to study. He arrived at the beginning of the ‘A’ Level academic year.
Ilford County High, a grammar school, had already chosen its intake. Raj turned up, alone, but the Headmaster gave him admission on the basis that he was the first schoolboy to turn up and perform his own ‘A’ Level admission.
“After that, nothing was a challenge for me- hurdles are just unexplored opportunities,” he says seriously.
He was so successful that he got an unconditional offer of three Cs to study Medicine at University College, London, after giving a great interview.
But the prohibitive cost of overseas tuition meant that he opted instead for Pharmacy at Brighton.
“I had to learn everything- from the moment I landed. It made me self- sufficient and independent,” he comments.
Turning Point
Suddenly, Raj’s sister fell unwell with cancer and was given a few weeks to live. Raj threw himself into trying to find a cure and in the process discovered many effective therapies from around the globe. His sister lived for another five years. Raj’s current career had been born.
But moving from Pharmacy to Complementary Medicine was a big challenge.
He set up his clinic, Sai Nutrition Centre, and even now, with no website and little publicity, he has tens of thousands of patients and works through his lunch hours. He is booked at least three months in advance. Yet his work with bio-energetic therapies is known only by word of mouth.
Very few therapies work on diet, lifestyle and movement all at the same time.
Bhachu has invented a “Pressing Technique” which enhances blood supply to tissues and organs. “The effects are immediate- you start to feel better,” he notes.
Disease and the Asian Community
Raj says, “A common disease for Asians is Type II Diabetes. It’s a lifestyle disease.
We have successfully helped people control their blood sugar levels through changing their diets, having a good lifestyle, incorporating movement.
Punjabis, for instance, eat a significant amount of wheat, in chapattis or paranthas.
Gujarati’s tend to eat wheat and rice in the same meal.
South Indians eat a lot of rice. Eating the same grain repeatedly, if it is high glycaemic, leads to raised blood sugar levels.
The key is to lower the glycaemic load so that food sugars are released more slowly. This is an art we need to teach Asians so that they are not spiking their blood sugars constantly. Spiking blood sugars regularly leads to insulin resistance, which leads to diabetes. “Our current health is the consequence of all the choices that we have made in life. We need to learn to make good choices.”
I recommend whole families get up to Northwood Hills to fix their health and secure their futures, if they can get onto Raj Bhachu’s waiting list, that is!
