Dr. Neelesh Korde tells us how Ayurveda explains a disorder such as cancer. According to the physiology of Ayurveda, reproduction of partially formed cells indicates that the food that one consumes is not doing its best to reproduce the seven tissues. Food is first converted to chyle or 'rasa' (plasma and fluids), which in turn gets converted to blood, and then to muscle tissue, fat tissue, bone tissue, bone marrow, and finally reproductive tissue is formed. The entire process takes a long time, about fourteen to sixteen years, before the body can procreate and produce gametes.

It is this consumption and conversion that determines whether one has healthy or unhealthy cells. It is strange that while the human body has remained unchanged for millennia, while the basic foods we consume are still the same, there is a sudden surge in certain types of disorders in the last forty or fifty years. Dr. Korde reminds us that it is the diet that plays an important role in the prevention of any disorder, even cancer.
