Heart Surgeries And Wisdom

My dad was 72 yrs old, fairly fit, walking about 6kms daily and on few prescribed medications for BP etc. Being particular about his health he took the yearly check-up at big hospital.There were major blocks in his heart and the cardiologist said he needed urgent admission for stent (said 5 needed) since the blocks were major and multiple(including one for kidney).I was with him and asked him if he was up to this.

My dad is what I call a plan-fanatic.Everything has to be planned-he can't take any sudden change of plans.
So he said "Rubbish ! I took a 6kms walk yesterday without any problem. I will go home.Period.No discussions".I explained to the cardiologist and he said I needed to take a firm stand and admit him.He refused to discharge us. I know my dad and I took discharge against the wishes of cardiologist.This was in 2006

Dad is now 79 and has not done any surgery and still walks 6kms and leading his normal life.
Where is the gap in understanding and what has happened to the 90% blocks.?

The reports had shown the coronary artery(blood vessel that supplies blood to heart muscles) to be blocked in a major way.Almost 3most important ones.There was one artery in kidney also blocked.Even his carotid artery which supplies blood to the brain was also blocked.I looked at all the reports and also evaluated what the cardiologist had advised and then took the decision.

The cardiologist had advised 5 stents in total 4 in the heart and 1 for the kidney.So as a result-
1)Stents are not totally safe.Complications include procedural and allergy(dyes etc), clots, stenosis.
2)Bleeding, rupture and emergency complications
3)Though we have taken care of heart and kidney what about the carotid which supplies the brain ?
4)Life quality with 5 stents in the heart ....?

The answers to these are not given by cardiologist prior to the operation.When a stent complication will occur and we take dad to hospital he will say yes, this is a complication of stent.So we are taken down the dark alley and circumstances then get a superior hand !

How did wisdom come into this ?

Simple anyone will say 5stents are too much ! Secondly even with a major surgery and no complication surgery -chances of brain clot/ stroke remains. Its like stitching up one end to reveal another.Also the chances of formation of clots from the stent is also there. So are we increasing the risk or decreasing ?
Life would become in and out of hospitals for him and me. Is this what we want ?

Actually what happened was that because his major arteries were blocked his COLLATERALS picked up.Like if our main road is blocked there are always these small lanes through which we can go.Its gods way of ensuring a planB for the heart.Our heart can get blood supply and manage well with it provided the hearts capacity is enhanced/optimized by regular walks.Probably all our old grandfathers did it that way.They had no cardiologists to scare them and no USG to confuse them.

Wise Old People.!

Only Homeopathy For Rheumatoid Arthritis

Our body is a wonderful machine ! Not only is it flexible and adaptive it is also inbuilt to bear many insults over a long period of time. How else can one explain the knees of obese person or stomach of a person eating spicy food day in and day out ? Same goes for RA or rheumatoid arthritis.
If you study any patient with RA you can easily spot the long duration of stress, the mind and body trying to deal with it, the beginning of mild signs and symtoms and finally the joint pain or fever. There are many months more of pain, fever, distress till finally the structure of the small joints(fingers of hand mostly) begin to get affected and deformity takes place. Also along the way if patient manages to deal with stress/emotions etc then there is also a self healing that can take place. Or if one starts homeopathy reversal can occur. What more do we need?
When our body has taken this long to get RA should not we give some time to homeopathy to help us get back our original self ? Simply because the body is made that way-takes time to fall sick and takes time to recover. If it is sick it is now unable to cope with it on its own and needs some help.




RA is an auto-immune disorder. We have an inbuilt mechanism where the body cells are able to understand an enemy or foreign cell/organism from the cells of its own body.This is important because the body will destroy foreign cell (like virus). In stress/ prolonged illness many times this gets disturbed and our cells start destroying our own cells-much like fight with our own family members.So its not infection but our body -system error. Naturally if this error has occurred means that body ( and mind) have tried all methods to cope with stress or issues or genes and failed.
Which pathy can now re-pair this to its earlier status ? Though you may empty the bucket that is filling the actual resolution is to close the tap or else the bucket will fill again and the matter is not solved.

No matter what is done RA takes time but homeopathy can save your joints from getting deformed, improve your genes so that the chances of your children getting it is reduced.Any homeopath will tell you that they have good results for RA-true. Thats cos we have effective medicines for all the facets of RA-acute,chronic,subacute.

So who generally get RA. No doubt genes are imp and hence if its in the family your chances are higher but there are other things as well. The mental sensitivity of these people is very high. Comments, spoken words affect them to a great level and seem to remain with them causing a kind of toxicity of the system.To change for them is very difficult, they are rigid, high moral code and go into guilt also easily.

Recovery is gradual but stopping the illness in its track is fast and almost immediate. They have to be with their homeopath for long and more flexible they become, more de-sensitised faster they improve.

I always say MIND is the BOSS of the body. do you agree.?

Vitiligo- Easy For Homeopathy

What did Michael Jackson do for his vitiligo ? He definitely did not try homeopathy-the one sure treatment for vitiligo. Strange, how this gap in knowledge affect even the greatest celebraties...

Vitiligo is the depigmentation of skin due to which the difference in skin color can be easily spotted. It has tremendous social implications as it involves areas that are always exposed-eyes, nose, face,hands etc.In India it was heavily stigmatized even 20yrs back when I got my first case of vitiligo.

Why does it happen ? There are cells in our skin that gives color to the skin-called melanocytes. In vitiligo they either die or loose their function.This happens because of reasons like-viral-virus directly killing them.Or autoimmune response-our own body cells kill them(by mistake or wrongly) during stress or reasons in which our immune response is affected. Or these are hidden genes responsible for them dying. Suffice to say things go wrong and our melanocytes become defunct and we get vitiligo.



Why homeopathy is the best for vitiligo ?
Because,

1)Look closely to the causes-viral, autoimmune, genetic-look like deep rooted causes which needs to be addressed properly. Its a laugh-these creams and lotions that are advertised. If they had worked we would probably not have Michael Jackson with it.If its caused by a gene -how will external cream help? I mean really help ?

2)Homeopathy is known to give good results in autoimmune disorders-like RA(rheumatoid arthritis) ,UC(ulcerative colitis),Psoriasis--since it addresses at a deeper level.

How ? Homeopathy treats the person not the disease.So after studying the person we get to the root of the problem as to why has the autoimmunity gone hay ware ? Why have the genes become dominant ? Or why have the virus affected in such a way. Medicines are given so that function of melanocytes is put back on track. The dead melanocytes cannot become alive but the nearby cells can be optimized so that enough colour is produced to make the skin appear normal.

Yes its a long process and swift results are possible if person takes homoepathy the moment the lesion appears-which are generally small. Though large patches also respond but the time taken is more and people often give-up midway.

Most homeopaths will boast about treating vitiligo when there is nothing to talk home about.Its all in a days work for homeopaths-albeit an experienced one.

Would like to impress upon people that in a way vitiligo is pretty much harmless and even untreated is not dangerous.However it has social implications and hence it has gained prominence.

Go for homeopathy for this without any doubts at all !

How you gain more from homeopathic management of your blood pressure ?

Its World Health Day today and the focus is on hypertension or high blood pressure. We are all familiar with raised blood pressure as we have seen our parents or grandparents taking pills for BP. Currently there has been such a surge of raised blood pressure among the young that its a little worrying. The life-style and stress -both at home and office is taking its toll. We have raised pressure in below 30yrs and heart attacks by 35yrs. Why is the focus of WHO(world health organisation) on blood pressure ?



The allopathic medicine is well versed in BP-has a range of medicines, big pharmas are into it, people know about it , still not very expensive and works fairly well -so why should anybody think of homeopathy at all.?

Here is how you gain more and better from homeopathy-
1) All said and done BP is a chronic problem and hence medication is long. Homeopathy is safe and without any side-effects. Many times problems arise more from the side effects of the medication in allopathy than BP itself.
2) Homeopathy can effectively prevent dialysis which is a complication of prolonged BP.Dialysis is expensive and painful and reduces the quality of life greatly
3) Many times one sees that only during stress the BP rises and after the crises comes down on its own.In such cases the allopathic medicines obstruct smooth functioning of the body.
4)Homeopathy has good medicines to prevent paralysis/stroke in long standing cases of BP.
5)Homeopaths help in counseling which helps to bring down BP

Better medicines are those that help our own body's mechanism to heal itself.It preserves our body and only minimum medicines should be used to put our body back in action. These are in alignment with the laws of nature and there is no suppression.

More important is how and which medicines we use are also going to determine and design our genes which we are going to pass-on to our children.If that is so should not we be more careful and concerned about our medication ? what would you say ?

5 reasons why you should have a Homeopathic Kit

I remember when we were on holidays in this exotic place,serene,quiet which boasted of one fish eatery.  My son ate the fish here and promptly went into loose-motions and almost collapsed.I went and checked my kit which had the medicine I needed--and by evening he was fine!
The idea of a homeopathic kit is designed to address the small emergencies that can be dealt with before the doctor arrives. Frequent use of kits empowers the user to have an efficient tool with him to deal with his health problems.In clinics we give designer kits so that the medicines which have worked for the patient and his family members are included.The different types of kits work for different problems which the user/patient is susceptible to.Like I made a designer kit for someone in which I included a medicine for burping or one for an old lady who had vertigo.General kits will have the common problems-acidity,constipation,headache,cold, sinus etc.Kids kit will have cold,cough,fever, dentitional medicines.There are first-aid kits, child kits, piles kits, womens kits etc

First-aid Kits are rather more popular since they come handy for travel, adventure,camping and kids.Another advantage is that since they have been used earlier the result is guaranteed which cannot be said of allopathic medicines as they are available in different brands in different countries.It includes this wonderful Calendula which surgeons use to treat surgery cuts--it heals heavenly and promotes so much of granulation tissue that its a must in cuts and wounds.Medicines to treat your aches and pains, sprains, swellings due to falls, burns, insect bites,allergic rashes.

Womens kits are mainly for their menstrual complaints, pregnancies and delivery and complaints like vomitting etc.
Kits for senior citizens are for aches and pains, joint complaints and frequent urinations and prostrate complaints-it gives them dignity.


Always Safe: No matter in which place you are you have some medicine to deal with small problems that may come.Makes you feel safe and equipped at night, on trains or flights.
Complete Care: Kits for piles have creams included to take complete care of your problem.
Cost-Effective:There is no need to spend time at the waiting rooms to meet doctor for small reasons or problems.Kit goes a long way to solve this problem.
Frequent Use: Can be used safely for some single problem repeatedly without side-effects and over a long period of time.
Psychological Support: Its often the satisfaction of taking something for our problem that gives us immense satisfaction and relief.The power of this cannot be emphasised more.

It is known that queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles dont go anywhere without their homeopathic Kit !

Best Gift For Your Parents-Good Joints !

Prevalence of joint pain is cause of concern in many countries.In India alone there are 56% of elderly suffering from OA(osteoarthritis or age-related arthritis) and between 17-60 % of all people.In the USA a whopping 36% of all people suffer from chronic joint pain and Japan has 70% people with joint pains.
The concern is because it causes chronic pain which is draining and tiresome state to be in.Anything robbing you of your movement should get due attention-because MOVEMENT IS LIFE.



Let me see -now the most common joint problems are RA-rhuematoid arthritis, OA- osteoarthritis, gout and others.Others may include all-infective or septic, psoriatic knee etc which though common are not that frequently encountered.
Ideally speaking for all these-RA,OA and gout homeopathy is a better option.
RA-rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder means there is a failure in recognizing self (and hence an immune response gets generated against self) and generation of response or fight.Normally this does not happen -these responses occur under perceived threat or enemy within our body.So there are no organisms involved.Hence allopathy options are limited.Homeopathy triggers the bodies own healing powers to correct these responses.Mostly affects the young people and forms deformities which homeopathy can prevent.Cases completely bed-ridden due to RA have recovered. Another aspect is the hold-on-to negative feelings that are often encountered in these patients which homeopaths address.

Gout is the affections of joints due to elevated levels of uric-acid levels.Besides diet etc we need to change the mode of the body.Why is the kidney not able to excrete uric-acid ? Many reasons contribute
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gout
Hence a multi-dimentional activity is recommended for gout
http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org/arthritis-information/conditions/gout/research-and-new-developments.aspx
With all this we can only say that at best its an unsatisfactory method of treatment.
Homeopathy gives pain relief and wholistically treats it. Known to give lesser episodes and treat more deeply.Or at least provide palliative relief safely as there are no side effects and can be taken over a long period of time.

The best to respond is OA-osteoarthritis-aging joint pain.Its a degenerative joint problem where the changes in the joints are due to aging and are not reversible.Here nothing helps better than homeopathy -the pain is gone and your old man is ready to walk and hop.The treatment may be short(4-6wk) and he can be on maintainance dose which do him good.The joints do not deteriorate -which they would-and can remain good for few years and more if you are regular with homeopathy. www.homeopathy4all.com

How your skin rash will respond better with homeopathy.

The hectic pace of life today gives no time to attend to the small things that keep happening in our life.The rash that appeared the other day just before the meeting.and went away all by itself.It would have even missed being noticed had it not been for the meeting.

Skin is the one of the most abused organ I feel.Because anything on the skin has to immediately go away-seems very frustrating when it does not.India being a social place we are always meeting some-one or other,people are quick to notice and quicker to comment and advice.....blah blah.So we desperately need some cream to apply and the skin to look normal.Most of my patients don't  realize that they are applying steroid creams.Nobody asks nobody tells.The problem with them is they are good-very good.The skin problem vanishes just as they wished it.How good it would have been had it remained so.But it does not and hence we are at the cream again, and again.By the time it soon grows into a problem and the cream does not remain so good either. 



Homeopaths want skin cases to come early to them so that we can give faster results and patient finds it comfortable to continue our medicines.Oh but we almost never get them. Homeopathy will address the complaint at different levels including the family tendency to skin complaints etc.Many times stress is an important part in skin complaints like lichen planus and we go into the details of the stress and try to resolve them in way that is possible for the patient.

An irritated skin in a child can also be a reflection of family disharmony which has to be re-aligned.In many cases I have seen the discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law aggravating the skin complaints in child.
Excessive itching of the skin represents suppressed hostilities and feelings.In suppressed societies one cannot openly express the feelings getting generated and hence gets expressed on skin.In all such cases the itching will be disproportionate to the complaint.Like I had a child who would get severe itching at all night and would keep the mother awake-now hardly any skin complaint does that.It means that child wants mothers attention..
In a majority of cases homeopath will not give any creams or ointments unless expressively asked for because he believes them to be useless.Homeopaths will take a detailed case and work out all the factors and try to set things right.Then he would start constitutional medicines for healing it from within.Many times when the case comes in aggravated state there are medicines given for INSTANT relief along with the other.Now there is a sort of race between the disease and the medicines and only when the medicines win the case effects will start to be seen.No new spots or no increase in skin complaint is a fair response in the initial part of treatment.
Once it happens the relief is good and does not come back.Patient feels a sense of wellness and so other complaint develops.People often tell me that doctor I got rid of eczema but now I have bronchitis-this is not happy news.It is deterioration of illness from skin to bronchus.
Homeopaths are concerned about overall health, give them time ,give them faith so that they can help you better.
