People with chronic, incurable ailments flock to tribal healers

A 55-year-old Aslam, who works with the Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM) here, suffered a paralytic stroke two years back. Allopathic treatment has brought him no relief. On Monday afternoon, along with his wife and daughter, Aslam visited the IGRMS campus, where tribal healers from all over the country have been camping since Saturday.

“One of my officers told me about this and I thought why not give it a try,” he told Free Press. Aslam was among the scores of people suffering from chronic diseases and problems that can only be treated through complicated surgeries, flocking to IGRMS premises, in the hope of getting some relief or may be a cure.
