Baba
Publications blunder
Namaskar,
In my unit there was a health crisis. One person fasted for three days and took nothing but spoonfuls of lemon juice. In result, his condition became far worse. Seeing his deathly state of health, friends and relatives rushed to find out the problem.

Distortion in Yogic Treatments book was the cause
Look here - the below yellow highlighted section from the English edition of the "Yogic Treatments" book is wrong:
AMPS Publications wrote: “In the severe state of the disease a continuous fast for two or three days taking nothing but a little juice of lemon or other fruit will definitely reduce the sugar content of the urine.” (1)
The above yellow highlighted section from the "Yogic Treatments" book is wrong. (Please continue reading.)
The Bangla version in green is correct
After seeing the patient’s rapid decline in health, concerned family members quickly referenced the Bangla edition of the Yogic Treatments book (scan appended below) and found that a patient of diabetes should drink ample amounts of lemon water (i.e. lemon juice mixed in water) for 2 or 3 days - not merely a spoonful(s) of just lemon juice.
This was the proof that there was a publications blunder in the English edition of Yogic Treatments. And his life was in danger because he had followed that faulty guideline in the English edition of the Yogic Treatments book.

Conclusion
(a) The English edition of Yogic Treatments is not consistent with the Bengali / Bangla edition.In Him,
(b) The Bangla version in green highlight is correct and the English edition in yellow highlight is wrong.

Our duty
Due to obvious mistakes, AMPS Publications books have become very dangerous in certain cases. All the books should be carefully reviewed, edited, and fixed to perfectly represent Sadguru’s teachings. It is the duty of every disciple of Shrii Shrii Anandamurti ji to take this matter very seriously and try to correct those errors. Otherwise in the future people will not forgive us. They will think very poorly of us as we could not properly pass on Guru’s teachings to the next generation. Rather the wrong information was handed down. The conclusion is that all Ananda Marga books should be fixed and made proper.
Ananda Marga philosophy says, "The scriptures containing spiritual injunctions must be totally flawless." (2)
Here is the Bangla
See the red underlined words In the below scan from the Bangla edition (2007) of "Yoga Cikitsa" (Yogic Treatments). That is where the correct guideline has been given.
The above Bangla version is correct. The faulty English version created a crisis in the life of a diabetic patient in my unit.

By mistake You have come
Note: If you are at the dinner table talking to your close companion who is seated next to you and looking directly at you, already you have their full attention. In that case, you need not address them by saying “O”. If you say “O” they may get irritated. So prefacing an appellation for God with “O’” such as in O’ Lord is not appropriate in our Ananda Marga. Saying “O’ Lord” signifies that that Divine Entity is far away - i.e. in the 7th sky or heaven - and that one must cry out to reach them. And that goes against the spirit of bhakti.
In our Ananda Marga, we know that Parama Purusa is watching us always. He is never far - always He resides in the heart witnessing all we think, do, and say. Hence there is no need to call out to Him using the phrases, “O’ God”, “ O’ Lord etc.” One may simply address Him in a natural manner without the “O” preface and He will certainly listen to your call.
"Ámár hiyáy bhúl kare háy,ese gecho prabhu tumi ájike..." (Prabhat Samgiita #0330)
Purport:
Parama Purusa, You have come in my heart - unintentionally and by mistake - without any plan. For ages and ages I was calling You. Today I see that in filling the earth with the spell of Your beauty You have graciously come to me. Prabhu, You have taken advent to spiritually intoxicate all and overflow everyone's heart with joyous, divine songs and dance.
Baba, I light a lamp at Your altar, and pour forth unto You all the nectar of prema of my heart. Your spiritual glow and refulgence alone has illumined my entire being.
The Yamuna (holy river) of my mind breaks into a flood tide - and begins going upstream. All the flows of my mind are pointedly rushing only towards You. Baba, Your surging waves of unending love have vibrated my whole existence. I don’t have any virtue; by mistake You have come, O' Lord, in my heart. It is Your causeless grace...
