🔬 The Science of Fasting Where Ancient Siddha Wisdom Meets Modern Nobel Prize Research 🌿 Introduction What if the secrets of cutting-edge science were already known thousands of years ago? Imagine a Tamil Siddha meditating in a mountain cave and a modern scientist observing cells through a microscope—both arriving at the same truth. In 2016, Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize for discovering Autophagy , a cellular self-cleaning process. Yet, this concept mirrors the ancient Siddha practice of fasting, known as Lankanam . This blog explores how fasting is not starvation—but a powerful internal healing mechanism , almost like performing “surgery” without a scalpel. 🔥 1. Two Perspectives: Jatharagni vs. Autophagy 🪔 The Siddha View: Burning “Amam” In Siddha philosophy, health revolves around Jatharagni —the digestive fire. Constant eating = dumping wet wood into fire Weak digestion = formation of Amam (toxins) These toxins accumulate in joints and organs → disease 👉 When you fast, ...

“Invisible hands that guide the healing rays.”
Each year on November 7, the world observes the International Day of Medical Physics (IDMP), a global tribute to the vital yet often unseen role of medical physicists—the professionals who bridge physics and healthcare to save lives using science.
This day also marks the birthday of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, the Nobel Prize-winning physicist who pioneered the use of radiation in medicine, making November 7 a fitting tribute to her legacy and the future of medical physics.
⚕️ What Is Medical Physics?
Medical physics is a specialized branch of applied physics focused on the development and application of physics principles in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases.
Key areas include:
-
Radiation Therapy: Ensuring precise cancer treatment using targeted radiation.
-
Medical Imaging: Improving accuracy in MRI, CT, X-ray, PET, and ultrasound.
-
Nuclear Medicine: Monitoring and applying radioisotopes in diagnosis and treatment.
-
Radiation Protection: Keeping patients and healthcare staff safe from exposure.
🧬 2025 THEME: “Medical Physics: Securing Trust in Radiation Medicine”
This year's theme emphasizes the crucial role of trust, safety, and precision in modern medical technologies that rely on radiation. From cancer centers to neonatal ICUs, medical physicists ensure every scan and treatment is both effective and safe.
👩🔬 In Tribute to Marie Curie
Born on November 7, 1867, Marie Curie’s groundbreaking research on radioactivity revolutionized the world. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the only person to win in two scientific fields—Physics and Chemistry.
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.”
— Marie Curie

🖌️ Artistic Reflection
As an artist, I’m fascinated by the unseen beauty of energy, waves, and radiance. Medical physics isn’t just science—it’s a form of healing light. From the silhouette of a lung on a scan to the curves of radiation beams, there's a quiet artistry in how precision and compassion meet.
“Every dose of radiation is a silent stroke of healing—delivered with mastery, backed by science.”
