Mosaraf Ali grew up in Asansol, the second largest city in West Bengal as well as in Howrah. He trained as a doctor at the University of Delhi and then the Central Institute for Advanced Medical Studies in Moscow from 1973 to 1982 where he studied iridology, tongue diagnosis, pulse diagnosis, fasting therapy and naturopathy.^[1] After a stint in rural India studying homeopathy, herbalism and medical fasting, and working in Hong Kong at the Vital Life Centre from 1988 until May 1991, he came to London to work at the Hale Clinic where his therapies reportedly proved successful for patients such as Sarah Miles and Ava Gardner. Following this he worked towards establishing a clinic where both complementary and conventional treatment would be offered with the help in particular of Prince Charles who also wrote the foreword to his 2001 book The Integrated Health Bible. In 1998 he opened the Integrated Medical Centre in London with a team of fifteen doctors and therapists. Ali also operates a charity clinic in the village of Sagoor in Kangra valley.
