1. Who is Dr. Anisetti Thammayya?
Dr. Anisetti Thammayya is a pioneering Indian medical mycologist, natural healer, and lifestyle educator who spent over 30 years at the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine. While his early work focused on fungal infections and mycotoxins, his deeper legacy lies in holistic, plant-based healing systems that restore the body’s immune intelligence.
Disillusioned with chronic overmedication and steroid misuse in conditions like psoriasis and arthritis, he turned to ancient Indian wisdom, soil science, and plant pharmacology to design a self-sustaining healing model—simple, affordable, and natural.
