India’s vast religious, ethnic, urban/rural, socioeconomic, and political landscapes set a fascinating and deeply entangled context for different schools of medical practice and different ways of being. How does one seek internal and external harmony in this massive democratic state? What (or who) determines the standards for health and disease? How does this change the ways in which Indians experience their own bodies? This film introduces medical care in northwest India through the perspective of three doctors working to integrate ayurvedic medicine with biomedicine. While navigating among different theoretical mappings of the body, the doctors also confront sociopolitical challenges that prevent communication among existing medical systems in India. Produced in collaboration with the International Association for the Study of Traditional Medicine (IASTAM) Note on the title: While “The Vital Other” is a direct reference to complementary and alterative medicine, in this case it is meant to be ironic and a play on words. “Vital” is intended to be taken literally in that thinking about integration as a vital component in medical system.

Tara Alder explains professional colon hydrotherapy using the LIBBE an “open system” for colonics. This FDA registered system facilitates this valuable ancient therapy using pure water. Some people believe the colon is the most important organ of the body as it not only allows us to release waste but it absorbs water that may feed every cell in the body. Consider colon hydrotherapy for yourself as a natural way to enhance your body’s need to cleanse itself of waste as well as exercising, strengthening and toning the muscle of the bowel. Note that the colon, bowel and large intestine are all referring to the one organ that makes up the last five feet of the alimentary canal.

Today we recognize even more, the benefits of regular detoxification of the internal human body. We are exposed to tens of thousands of chemical compound in our environment, food, water and even in our homes, every day. Ninety five percent of these chemicals were unknown 30 years ago, meaning that the body has a very hard time to detox from the presence of these unknown chemical compounds. Colonics, the irrigation of the large intestine is fine as far as it goes but colonics cannot detox the liver or the kidneys, two organs that are responsible for handling the vast majority of toxins in the body.
