Chuck Ananda is now not only cancer free, but has helped many individuals become free of this and many other diseases. Ananda has been practicing holistic medical approaches for over twenty years in Eugene. He looks at every body as a whole and caters to each of his patients individually. He specializes in using cannabis oil, natural supplements, diet change, exercise and increasing spirituality to fully heal his clients. “My approach is more looking holistically at the persons being in connection with the entire universe.” Ananda is very passionate with his practices and loves promoting the alternative medicine route. Even though Ananda currently practices a holistic approach it wasn’t always his plan of action.

 

Ananda always knew he had an extreme interest in the medical world along with helping others. Growing up in Sweden he was surrounded by a very strict medical outlook that was very uniformed and modernized. Ananda wanted the best education available so he devoted seven years of his life to Karolinska Institutet, a medical university in Sweden. After these extensive seven years of studying, something just didn’t quite feel right within Ananda. He didn’t resonate with a lot of information he was taught about in medical school and wanted to explore deeper. He was greatly influenced by Gandhi at this time so he decided to take a trip to India in order to learn more about his idol. Once he reached this spiritual place he was captivated by the culture and medical approaches he found. He soon discovered Gujarat Ayurved University, which specialized in plant medicine and naturopathy. He quickly applied and was accepted two months later. Finally something felt right within Ananda. He knew that this approach was the truth and where he was meant to be. “I wanted to find out the truth, I was a seeker for truth.” He stayed six more years in India to learn as much as possible about the holistic medical approaches. After graduating he moved to the U.S because he knew there wasn’t much of a place back in Sweden for these practices. Four years ago Ananda was diagnosed with melanoma and cured it within four months of taking cannabis oil, changing his diet and expanding his spirituality. He had also healed many other patients through these practices and continues to do so.

 

Ananda plans on exploring more alternative methods because there is always something new to learn within this field. He also will continue to explore his spirituality and care for himself in order to prevent a relapse and be as healthy as possible. He aspires to heal as many people as he can through his alternative practices and spread the message of these ways.
