This is one of the most amazing stories I've ever read. Just the biography of Dinshah Ghadiali in and of itself is remarkable. He was apparently a Renaissance man, an exceptional genius who accomplished more in his life in so many areas that it's hard to even fathom.

But the medical therapy he discovered using colored light is something that he ended up convincing many doctors of its amazing healing potential, so much so that the A.M.A. realized what a threat this was to the medical profession, and threw their entire weight and influence behind shutting this down. Almost reminds me of how Tesla wanted the world to have access to free energy, but Edison and the other powers of the time prioritized money over everything else.

I've researched a little about how color light effects life. You grow a plant under a blue light, it will be different than that same plant grown under red (look it up). Even today, there are color light therapies coming out here and there. However, Dinshah spent decades creating an entire field of healing therapy, detailing every known disease (at the time) and the appropriate color therapy to remedy each malady.

This is amazing stuff; not just a great read, but something that needs to see the light of day. Any movie producers out there should take a look at this book as well, there's a story here like no other.

As I read this book I was struck by the idea that Dinshah's powerful story is the medical version of the Indian crusader Ghandi. An Indian like Ghandi, Dinshah had a goal he fervently believed in and it became his life's paramount mission. He fought valiantly against powerful establishment forces who vehemently opposed him. He was both challenged by a resolute national government and he challenged the government in altruistic ways. He was relentlessly persecuted and imprisoned repeatedly. He was nonviolent and lived a modest existence. He wanted nothing for himself but only wanted to help humankind. His life mirrored Ghandi's in many ways.

I think Color War would make a great movie or television mini-series. The story's courtroom dramas were particularly interesting to me. There were several court actions that the U.S. government brought against the Parsee Indian where scores of poor people traveled from all over the country at their own expense to testify on behalf of the originator of the new healing art. They were there to tell their stories: traditional medicine couldn't cure them, Dinshah's Spectro-Chrome did. This is not fiction, it's real life, and is just one of many layers to an incredible real-life saga

I was moved by the dramatic stories of Dinshah and his devoted band of doctors and surgeons who used Spectro-Chrome with great results. It seems they were curing people left and right that traditional medicine could not help. Dinshah and his followers were pursued by organized medicine and the drug industry. These powerful industries do everything they can to safeguard the livelihoods of the members of their professions so Dinshah and his followers had little chance in defeating them. But we live in a different time today, where you don't have to be politically correct to get your methods across, and we know organized medicine and the drug industry can be wrong even if they won't admit it (it took the tobacco industry decades to tell the truth about the cancerous effects of cigarettes and only under great pressure). Open your mind and this book will open your eyes. This is a book everyone should read.
