Chronic Renal Disease and Homeopathy

by Dr. Prakash Shah

This story I am describing dates back to 1995, which were just initial years, when I started believing about efficacy of homeopathy. Before that as most of allopathic practioners does not endorse homeopathy as effective science, I was also in those group.

This is the case of Master Maulik – son of my sister, a 10 years old male child.

His complaints began after he had been sick for some time and his parents noticed that he had developed some swelling on both legs. Urine revealed high amounts of protein. He was referred to a Nephrologist who, after all investigations, diagnosed him as having Nephrotic Syndrome. He was put on cyclosporine and steroids. For about 6 years he continued to have increased swelling that had spread to his abdomen and face too. He would get 3-4 acute exacerbations of the condition in a year in spite of being on high dose of steroids. He would develop swelling all over the body and his urine would become turbid. The albumin in the urine would become ++++ at such times. Apart from this he would also get frequent colds during which his urine albumin would start increasing again. Nephrologists advised for kidney biopsy which was not consented presently by relative.

Nephrologists’ told that eventually he will need a transplant. They told that there is no cure yet. He will die too young. Prognosis is very grave.

At this time I started the homoeopathic treatment, he was on a high dosage of steroids daily along with a diuretic. Homoeopathic medicines were given based on his symptomatology only (as I did not know much about all aspects of homeopathy) I gave him Apis, Ars – one dose each and after one month Mercurius and Lycopodium one dose each. Bio-chemic Natrum Mur 6X and Ferum Phos 6X twice a day for 15 days was also given. Then biochemic was advised to take as soon as signs of cold appears.

Nephrologist was unaware that he is under homeopathic treatment. I used to advice my sister that you should be under constant care of Nephrologists.

Within 3 months there was good improvement in his condition. Now he was on reduced dosage of steroids. He would not get colds as frequently as before and there was improvement in his overall health after commencing homoeopathic treatment. My sister reported that it’s the first time in all these years that we have been able to reduce the dosage of steroids and still he continues to improve. They were glad about opting for homoeopathic treatment because steroids would give his son only temporary relief and lots of side-effects, of which they were not even aware previously.

By the end of 6 months of treatment he did very well and his drugs’ dosage and steroids had been lowered by Nephrologist. Nephrologist was surprised that he was doing so well in spite of being on such a low dose of the medication. Now Maulik would not require as frequent visits to Nephrologist as before and he would need to see him only once in about 3 months. Overall he did well with the treatment. The response in his case was positive in a very short period of time. They were much surprised for the treatment which he had to continue for long time since this disorder started.

At about 12 months of starting homeopathic treatment all drugs – homeopathic and allopathic were stopped, as he was cured of all symptoms and no albumin in urine.

Today Mr Maulik is 29 years old and he enjoys good health. He is not taking any allopathic or homeopathic medicine for as long as 10 years except when he feels starting of cold symptom, I have advised him to take biochemic – Natrum  Mur 6x and Ferum Phos 6x as required.

Millions of People Can Not be Wrong. Find out why they are living Longer and More Healthy.

Ayurveda is an Indian medical science that was created over 5000 years ago.  The documents that were created related to Ayurveda are from the Vedas.  The Vedas contain information on a many different subjects such as philosophy, logic, engineering, agriculture, economics and politics, and many other subjects.  In the Vedic philosophy of health, there is the principle of natural balance within the body and harmony with the environment.  People are a part of the environment not separate from it.  The goal of this practice is to obtain and maintain balance within the body and mind, while living in harmony with nature.  This is the pathway to true health.  So is this ancient practice for the fortunate few?  Maintaining your health is based on nothing more complex than understanding the characteristics of your body and qualities of the food you eat.  The word Ayurveda is derived from two words, Ayus and Veda.  Understanding the meaning of both words is necessary to fully grasp the philosophy of this discipline.  The English translation of ayus is “life”.  Veda is a Sanskrit word which means “knowledge” or “science”.  Although Vedic knowledge originated in India, it does not mean this information is of relevance only to Indians.  Knowledge is the universal asset of mankind — it is not the property of one region.  The great news is that you can go to India and receive Vedic treatments from the source.  It costs much less than you think and your insurance may even help pay for it.   

First, let us look more at the actual practice of Ayurveda.  The two aims of Ayurveda are to maintain the health of those who are well and the other is to cure diseases of those who are sick.  This aspect relates to various diseases, their causes, diagnosis, remedies and therapies to cure and prevent relapses of illness.

Ayurvedic Perspective on Stress – Dr. Partap Chauhan, Director of Jiva Ayurveda

In general, stress is caused by over stimulation. Life without stimulus would be very dull and boring. We seek fun, enjoyment, fulfillment of desires, and choose to do pleasurable things such as watching television or going to a disco. Stimulation, up to a certain extent, is necessary for keeping a person healthy. However, too much stimulus may ultimately damage your health and well-being. Therefore, it is necessary to strike a balance.

Ayurveda describes how the optimal use of things – amount of food, sleep, sex indulgence, etc. – helps to maintain the required equilibrium with respect to mind, body, and soul.

Every individual has three types of basic energies or biological humors, which are referred to as “doshas“. They are vata, pitta, and kapha. According to Ayurveda, stress is a state of imbalance, in which the normal flow of these energies in the body (tridoshas) is disrupted. More…

Sick and Tired of being Sick and Tired!

Are you tired of being tired?  Are you sick of being sick?  Have you had to take a 2^nd mortgage on your home just to pay for the 20 or so prescriptions you have to buy every month, and you still are not feeling any better.  

You may be one of many people that are being treated for symptoms of a problem rather than diagnosing the root of the problem.  This is why a lot of people are looking for alternative treatments that can be supplemented and integrated with their modern healthcare options.  One of such natural and herbal treatments is Ayurveda.  This is not a new age fad, or an untested method of medicine.  Ayurvedic treatment  has been practiced in India for thousands of years.   

There are thousands of health tourists, who are traveling to India, seeking to revitalize their life through organic and holistic healing.  Ayurvedic medicine is a comprehensive treatment of whole person – physical, mental and even spiritual aspects.  The goal is to rebalance you, make you whole and healthy again, and have a renewed sense of life and vitality. 

Jiva Ayurveda and Indus Valley Ayurvedic Center are two such premier health destinations in India where physicians have developed an intimate understanding of every aspect of your physical, psychological and emotional being.  Here you are treated with dignity, as a unique individual who has the ability to recuperate fully with care and support brining you body, mind, and soul back into harmony using herbal and natural treatments. 

Have you ever noticed the increasing numbers of Indian doctors working in American hospitals?  You feel safe and confident on their ability to provide you with best care.  You can expect the same or even better from doctors working in Indian hospitals and clinics.  They give you an undivided attention with round the clock nursing care and you don’t feel rushed.  Several of the Indian hospitals are getting JCI certifications, meaning they are achieving highest international accreditation and provide care equivalent or better than any American JCI certified hospital. 

India has quickly become the number one destination for people participating in health tourism.  Hundreds of thousands of people from countries such as UK, Middle East, US, and Canada are flocking to India to experience not only alternative medicines but also elective procedures as well as surgical expertise and care that the country has to offer.  Medical tourism focused companies, such as Sahara Global Medical Tourism, has formed relationships with world class premier medical centers and clinics that offer every thing from heart surgery to cosmetic surgery to rejuvenation tours.  The rise of service oriented medical tourism is your passport to good health that can bring you that smile you always wanted and that too at a significantly lower cost. 

Orthopedics is one of those procedures that India is becoming famous for.  Orthopedics and joint surgery experts such as Knee Surgery Center in Chennai, India are truly the world authority in knee, hip, and shoulder surgeries.  They are performing orthopedic surgeries using most advanced procedures and techniques currently known in a modern medical field.  The healthcare centers in India are fully staffed with a competent nursing staff to ensure that you are healed and ready for discharge rather than pushing you out the door because they are overbooked and understaffed. 

Are you interested in traveling to find out what millions of healthy people that practice Ayurveda already know?  Why not experience India’s rich culture and visit the Taj Mahal walking for the first time using your new knee! There are many world-class healthcare centers in India and other wonderful locations around the world that offer treatments in dentistry, lasik eye surgery, plastic surgery, and many more.  Remember to book your trip to one of these fascinating destinations through www.placidway.com.  It is free and meets all your medical tourism needs.

Health Tourism, the Next Great Health Care Frontier

Have you ever gone to another country on vacation?  Have you ever marveled at their culture and their way of life?  There are many countries such as Thailand , India, and even Costa Rica that have hidden treasures you may not be aware of.  Treasures that once discovered can change your life and your health forever.

There have been medical treatments that have been practiced for centuries in Asia and other parts of the world.  The use of these techniques has been proven to work and are continued to be practiced today. The great thing about these ancient remedies is that they usually do not have all of the health side effects that some more modern techniques and medications have today. Just turn on the television. It is full of commercials promising that the new pill that just hit the market is a miracle drug.  While you see images of healthy happy people, the announcer tells you how people’s lives have been changed by this new life saving drug.  Then toward the end of the commercial, in an almost whisper, the announcer rattles off a whole list of side effects that sound like a horror show.  The only thing that is a miracle is that someone would actually take the risk of trying that new drug of the day.

Are you, like many others, tired of this roller coaster of being sick and never really getting better?  Some people have found the key to getting healthier, health tourism.  What is health tourism?  People are going to other countries to seek alternative, yet proven treatments of getting healthier and better.

Instead of just going to see the sites in other lands, people are going to places such as the Jiva Ayurveda  and Indus Valley Ayurveda Center  in India to get treatments not available to them where they live.
