“PAMHO.AGTSP. While I stayed in Delhi, I had a lot of problems with my health and I went to see one very well-known kaviraja whose name is TRIGUNA. He is Ayurvedic doctor in Delhi. He need just few seconds to know the past, present and the future position of the body and the mind of a person. He personally told me he was treating Srila Prabhupada in Vrindavan. Ys, Yashoda dd."

“One thing that crosses my mind is that the cause of death given at the time was kidney failure due to an untreated diabetic condition. I know that kidney failure causes one's body to blow up like a balloon legs first. I didn't see that with Prabhupada. He really exhibited the symptoms of severe mercury poisoning. He was so emaciated that I couldn't believe he could hold on as long as he did. His limbs and muscles would spasm and when I touched him, he was cool and clammy sometimes and hot and dry at others. His muscle pains were severe and required constant massage. I'm no doctor and realize that his symptoms could have been caused by a myriad of things. The way he looked when he died brought the victims of the Minamata mercury spill to mind.”

“VNN has contacted the hospital in England, Shrodells, Watford's General Hospital in which Srila Prabhupada was treated in 1977. The hospital administration has no records of Dr. McIrving after 20 years. A doctor by the name of Dr. McIrving could also not be found in the local phone book. If any devotees in England can assist in the search for this Dr. McIrving who seems to have moved away from Watford please contact VNN.”

Adi-kesava: That is a very, very strong drug, very, very
strong. It has a
very heavy effect.
Svarupa Damodara: Isotoxin is also called
Isonayazid.(?) It's the chemical name.
I know that, I discussed with...
Prabhupada: Then he'll say, "Remove to the
hospital."
Bhavananda: Then they'll say move to the
hospital.
Prabhupada: Then who will take care of me?
Hm?
Bhavananda: We will never allow them to remove you
to a hospital, Srila Prabhupada.
Prabhupada: You'll have to, gradually, according to his
advice.
Bhavananda: Therefore we asked you yesterday for
your guidance.
Prabhupada: No, I'll guide. Don't move me to the
hospital. Better kill me here.
Svarupa Damodara: We won't, Srila Prabhupada.
Bhavananda: Never.
