I chat with prominent activist, Arvind - to dismantle all things ethics.

Dr Nandita Shah, the recipient of the prestigious Nari Shakti Puraskaar in 2016, is the Founder, Director, and trustee of Sharan - India.

She founded SHARAN in 2005 with the aim of helping people to heal themselves, and the planet, by connecting to animals and nature.SHARAN is now a vibrant and growing social enterprise, whose vision is to build a culture of health, and has already positively impacted more than 100,000 lives in India and overseas.

Dr Shah turned vegan, in 1985, because of ethical issues. She says, “I became a doctor to reduce suffering and when I became aware of the tremendous suffering that we inflict on fellow creatures used for food, I had to make the connection.”

Brought up as a vegetarian, her vegan journey began when she learned the truth about dairy: the suffering that a cow undergoes due to repeated impregnations and loss of her offspring just so that we humans can have her milk. Shocked, and amazed about the lies we are told as a culture just so that the dairy industry can sell its products, she changed her diet and also began reading medical journals about health.

One of the turning points was Dean Ornish, M.D. book Reversing Heart Disease. Dr Ornish conducted long term studies where patients were able to reverse their need for bypass surgery on an almost plant-based diet! He stated that his book was about healing mind, body and spirit, in short holistic. Other authors like Drs John McDougall, MD and Neal Barnard, MD, T Colin Campbell stated the same. A plant-based diet has been repeatedly proven to be the most healthful.In 1997, Dr Shah suffered from Guillain Barre, an acute auto-immune disease. She decided to heal without the use of any modern medical treatment or hospitalisation, but instead with helpers at home. She describes the long and difficult journey as a path to personal and professional growth which taught her at a very personal level about health and healing. After experiencing changes through a whole plant-based diet in her own health and that of several serious patients, it became clear that treating with only good, healthy food was not only faster and more consistent in reversing diseases than homeopathy, but also less subjective.
