Dear Smt sheela Belur In this matter I'm reminded of what my guru Sri Rangapriya Swami used to say.He would quote Kalidasa's line from Kumara sambhavam: "SarIra-mAdyam khalu dharma sAdhanam". One's body is the first and ultimate instrument do good in this life.Hence like any other instrument it should always be kept in a totally workable condition.So whatever cure is needed is automatically included.I suppose one could draw a line at those rejuvenation treatments (at Kerala ?) which some people go for.In any case no such treatment has been known to put forward the moment of death.
