Dr. Rajesh Kumar, M.D.(Psychiatrist - Ahmedabad)

We are glad to have Dr.Rajesh Kumar,M.D(Psychiatry) on board as our psychiatry expert to help us in managing complicated cases. His services will take our psychiatric patient care to the next level, especially in the light of the fact that not only Dr.Rajesh is an expert in the field of psychiatry but has a keen inclination towards classical homeopathy.

Dr.Rajesh, believes that psychiatric problems are not just purely biological or molecular problems which can be alleviated by chemicals in the form of allopathic medications. He believes that these problems have deeper ramifications into the soul of the person way beyond molecular level. Hence, he is of the conviction that such subtle levels can be amenable to classical homeopathic treatment.

Such a cross disciplinary management of psychiatric patients is the first of its kind in Ahmedabad. We urge you all to take full advantage of this coming together.

Keeping in tune with his academic & service to humanity approach Dr.Kumar has decided to make his consultation completely complimentary for all the patients he sees at the clinic.

Dr. Nandita Shah

Dr. Nandita Shah is the Founder, Director, and a trustee of SHARAN.  Dr. Shah first became vegan 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.”

Dr.Nandita is a registered medical doctor, specialized in homeopathy from the CMP Homeopathic Medical College in Mumbai. 

As a homeopath she had a thriving practice in Mumbai and regularly taught all over world at seminars and conferences. 

The Journey to SHARAN

She was brought up as a vegetarian. Her vegan journey began in 1985.One of the turning points was Dean Ornish’s book Reversing Heart Disease. Dean Ornish conducted long term studies where patients were able to reverse their need for bypass surgery on an almost plant-based diet! Other authors like Drs. John McDougall and Neal BarnardT Colin Campbell stated the same. A plant based diet has been repeatedly proved to be the most healthful, yet, our culture is based on lies that are taught to us to serve commercial interests.
