This document describes a study that compared the efficacy of Harishankar Ras, Khadir-Kramuk Kwath, and a combination of both treatments for Madhumeha (type 2 diabetes). 30 patients were divided into 3 groups: group A received Harishankar Ras, group B received Khadir-Kramuk Kwath, and group C received both treatments combined. All patients received treatment for 30 days, and were assessed before and after treatment on subjective and objective parameters. The results showed that both treatments significantly improved some symptoms when used individually, but that the combined treatment led to more marked improvements.
Evaluation of the Acute Effect of Daru Haridradi Kashaya in the Management of...ijtsrd
Diabetes mellitus is a category of metabolic disorders that are characterized by elevated blood glucose levels resulting from insulin synthesis defects, insulin activity, or both. It is correlated with “Madhumeha” describe under the Prameharoga in Ayurveda. This scientific study has been conducted to evaluate the acute effect of Daruharidradikashaya. Daruharidra, Harithaki, Vibhitaki, Amalaki, Mustha and Devadara are ingredients of it.In clinical study ten were selected and given instruction for same diet, lifestyle and antidiabetic drugs for two weeks and specially advised to have same dinner enriched with fiber and protein before the blood test. Then kept fasting for 10 hours. After first week 120ml of Daruharidradi Kashayawas given to the patient while blood drawing for Fasting Blood Sugar FBS test. Then Oral Glucose Tolerance Test OGTT was done. In their second visit 120ml of Luke warm water was given on behalf of the drug and repeated same procedure. FBS and OGTT levels were separately measured and average levels are considered.Also a non parametric test called “Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test” was applied for testing the difference between two dependent samples. Since p values are not less than 0.05, efficacy of the Daruharidradi Kashaya has not been shown statistically significance at 5 percent significant level for all the periods of times. The effectiveness of the drug has not been statistically significant for the remaining periods of times. So it can be concluded that the acute action of Daruharidradi Kashayais not effective for reduce blood glucose level for the remaining period of times. Daruharidradi Kashaya has chronic effectiveness for Diabetes mellitus. So there may be some issues with the acute effect of it. Therefore, for a perfect conclusion, the study sample should be expand under more numbers of patients and the study setting should be IPD inward patient department of the hospital. There is an open field for new researchers to increase this study sample and repeat this procedure. T. K. G. Punchihewa | R. V. Ekneligoda | P. P.

Obesity and hyperlipidemia is international /worldwide problem causing heart disease leading to major predisposing factor for morbidity and death. Conventional medicine used in allopathy include statins, fibrates, niacin and resins but are going to defame due to their adverse effects. Herbal medicine ginger has proved itself as one of the potent anti hyperlipidemic and anti obesity herb with least adverse effects. We did try to compare its hypolipidemic effects with placebo effects when used in mild to moderate hyperlipidemic patients. It was placebo-controlled single blind research study. Research was conducted at National hospital, Lahore, from July to November 2016. Consent was taken from sixty hyperlipidemic patients age range from 25 to 60 years. Both gender male and female patients were enrolled. Patients were randomly divided in two groups, 30 patients were on drug ginger pasted-powder advised to take 5 grams in divided doses with their normal diet for the period of three months. Thirty patients were on placebo pasted-wheat powder, with same color as of ginger powder, advised to take 5 grams in divided doses with their normal diet for the period of three months. Their base line lipid profile and body weight was recorded at start of treatment and were advised to come for check-up, fortnightly.

The elevated levels of various biomarkers related to inflammation of vital organs, liver function, kidney function and other vital parameters in our diabetic cases reveals the extent of organ(s) damage in these subjects. It is also evident that the levels of various biomarkers are similar in our diabetic subjects, irrespective of their habits or habitats.

Impact of Malnutrition on Lipid Profile in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients in...Neeleshkumar Maurya
The present study was carried out to identify the role of malnutrition and its relationship for the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients taking hemodialysis. We conducted an analytical study with 100 patients. It was carried out over one-year period, from February 25, 2017 to March 30, 2018. The inclusion criteria were the patients who have been on hemodialysis for at least past three months period and at least more than 18-year-old. All the patients were divided into two groups: first group of patients have both CVD and CKD and other group of patients have only CKD. Patients were subjected to biochemical and anthropometric parameters. Out of hundred patients, about 60 followed the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Eight women and 52 men with the age range from 18 to 80 years with 49±10.2years as mean age. We found that higher level of cholesterol, triglyceride, low protein intake and low energy conception in CKD alone patients is directly associated with malnutrition. The association between cholesterol levels and CKD would be altered by the presence of malnutrition. Low level of protein and total energy intake also confirms the presence of malnutrition in CKD patient developed the CVD.

In Pakistan, the overall prevalence of dyslipidemia in adolescents aged 10–18 years is 21.7~25.2%; prevalence is reported to be two times higher (53.1~56.1%) in obese adolescents. However, few studies have been conducted on the relationship between height and blood lipid concentrations in children and adolescents The recent emphasis on treatment of the dyslipidemia of the metabolic syndrome (hypertriglyceridemia, reduced high-density lipoprotein, and increased small, dense low-density lipoprotein particle number) has compelled practitioners to consider lipid-lowering therapy in a greater number of their patients, as one in two individuals over age 50 has the metabolic syndrome. Individuals with the metabolic syndrome typically have normal low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, and current lipid-lowering guidelines may underestimate their cardiovascular risk. Two subgroups of patients with the metabolic syndrome are at particularly high risk for premature CAD. One, individuals with type 2 diabetes, accounts for 20-30% of early cardiovascular disease. The second, familial combined hyperlipidemia, accounts for an additional 10-20% of premature CAD. Familial combined hyperlipidemia is characterized by the metabolic syndrome in addition to a disproportionate elevation of apolipoprotein B levels. The measurement of fasting glucose and apolipoprotein B, in addition to the fasting lipid profile, can help to estimate CAD risk in patients with the metabolic syndrome. In this research we compared allopathic medication and medicinal herb in treating hyperlipidemia.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Diabetes mellitus, or simply diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar, either because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced. The term diabetes is from the Greek word diabaineine refers a tubular organ that take-in or expels water-excessive urine discharges. In 1675, Thomas Willis added mellitus (means ―honey in Latin) to the word diabetes and called it as Diabetes Mellitus, which refers to too much of sweet taste urine. This high blood sugar produces the classical symptoms of polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst) and polyphagia (increased hunger). Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of glucose regulation, characterized by an accumulating glucose concentration in the blood (Wilkins and Atanasov, 1996).
Prameha is a term considered for the condition of all types of Prameha elucidated by Acharya Susrutha characterised by Prabuta mootrata (increased quantity of urine) and Aavilamootrata (increased turbidity of urine) as Samanyalakshana (general symptom). Some of the Prameha lakshanas are correlated with Diabetes Mellitus which is a group of metabolic disorder characterised by hyperglycemia with or without glycosuria resulting from an absolute or conditional deficiency of Insulin. Aetiology is multifactorial and includes genetic factors coupled with environmental influences such as obesity associated with rising living standards. In an attempt for early diagnosis and intervention Kriyakalavivechana will help a lot. Kriyakala means the time of treatment or interception in the process of disease manifestation. These six stages mentioned by Acharya Shushruta gives an idea regarding the state of the disease in the body and it guides us when to intervene or where to intervene. Kriyakala give us the knowledge of diagnosis, prognosis and the level of
intervention and so that to prevent the establishment of a disease. Timely intervention with appropriate Oushada, Pathya, Vyayama (medicine, diet, exercise) for the same. Both the short term and long term complications can be effectively managed and prevented by breaking the vicious cycle of pathology and there by enhance the quality of life of the patient.

The Top Myths About Ketosis Debunked by Clinical TrialsJames McCarter
Present at CrossFit Health. October 13, 2019 by Dr. James McCarter. The one goal for this talk is arm medical providers to answer any objection to ketogenic and low carb nutrition approaches for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and other chronic metabolic diseases.
Diabetes is a chronic, metabolic disease characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (or blood sugar), which leads over time to serious damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. The most common is type 2 diabetes, usually in adults, which occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn't make enough insulin. In the past 3 decades the prevalence of type 2 diabetes has risen dramatically in countries of all income levels. Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin by itself. For people living with diabetes, access to affordable treatment, including insulin, is critical to their survival. There is a globally agreed target to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity by 2025.
Albuminuria has been recognized as a marker for prognosis of renal and cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients. Role of microalbuminuria in cardiac disease and nephropathy has not been surveyed in Pakistani population and its foretelling importance in diabetic individuals is undetermined. In this study we examined the relation between microalbuminuria, HbA1c and serum albumin levels in association with diabetes in population of Pakistan based on equal number of male and female subjects with and without prevalent baseline diabetes. We found that increased levels of micro albuminuria are associated with cardiovascular disease, HbA1c with nephropathy and serum albumin with cardiovascular disease, nephropathy and hypertension in the diabetic patient.

This ebook describes sharing my knowledge of how to exercise and eat healthily with insulin-dependent diabetes. This is knowledge that I think is essential if you manage your diabetes with insulin – no matter if you use a pump, pen, needle or inhalable insulin.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

ABSTRACT
Diabetes is a disease known from the dawn of civilization. Sedentary life style, Lack
of exercise, Faulty food habits and improper medication and urbanization precipitate the dis-
ease. The ancient Ayurveda classics texts namely the Samhitas of Charak, Sushruta and
Vagbhataand the subsequent treatises have invariably given detailed description of the dis-
ease Madhumeha (Diabetes mellitus), its causes, types, pathology and the line of manage-
ment and treatment both preventive and curative. In present study,drugs were selected with
the help of textual references of Rasendra Sara Sangraha prameha Chikitsa-1 (Harishankar-
Ras) and Sushruta Samhita Chikitsa sthana11-8 (Khadir-KramukaKwatha).30 clinically di-
agnosed patients were randomly divided into 3 Groups of 10 each. In Group A, 10 patients
were administered Harishankar Ras in dose of 125 mg twice a day with luke warm water in
empty stomach for 30days. In Group B, 10 patients were administered Khadir-Kramuk Kwath
for 30 days in the dose of 40 ml twice a day in empty stomach and in Group C, 10 patients
were administered Harishankar Ras 125 mg twice a day in empty stomach with luke warm
water and Khadir-Kramuk Kwatha 40 ml for twice a day in empty stomach for 30 days. From
outcomes of this study it can be said that the proposed medicines Harishankar Ras and Kha-
dir -KramukKwath shows positive response on various parameters of Madhumeha (Diabetes
Mellitus Type II) which indicates that these drugs have good Madhumehaghna (Antidiabetic)
effect when used alone or as combine therapy; where results were more marked.

with diabetes in India currentlyaround 65.1
million is expected to rise to 109.0 million
by 2035 unless urgent preventive steps
aretaken. The so called “Asian Indian Phe-
notype”2
refers to certain unique clinical
and biochemicalabnormalities in Indians
which include increased insulin resistance,
greater abdominal adiposityi.e., higher
waist circumference despite lower body
mass index, lower adiponectin and higher
highsensitive C-reactive protein levels.
This phenotype makes Asian Indians more
prone to diabetesand premature coronary
artery disease. At least a part of this is due
to genetic factors.
Diabetes is a chronic disease that
occurs when thebody cannot produce
enough insulin or cannot use insulin effec-
tively3
. Insulin is a hormone producedin
the pancreas that allows glucose from food
toenter the body’s cells where it is con-
verted intoenergy needed by muscles and
tissues to function.A person with diabetes
does not absorb glucoseproperly, and glu-
cose remains circulating in theblood (a
condition known as hyperglycae-
mia)damaging body tissues over time. This
damagecan lead to disabling and life-
threatening healthcomplications.
According to etiological factors,
Clinical features and pathogenesis, Mad-
humeha can be correlated with Diabetes
Mellitus.

DISCUSSION
Ras sindoor9
possess Laghu, Ushna and
tikshnaGuna, have ushnavirya, katupaka
with these properties it helps to alleviate
bahusleshma and abadhmeda from body
and obstruction of srotasa by theirshosha-
na and vilayana.Abhraka Bhas-
ma10
possesses Guru, snigdha, sheetaguna,
with sheetavirya and madhura vipaka, all
these properties, are similar to oja, which
is lost in the pathology of madhumeha,
with these properties it provides bala to
prakritaksheenaoja.
Harishankararashas predominance of ka-
tuandtikta rasa.Katu11
rasa stimulates pa-
chakagni desiccants the food removes ob-
struction and dilates the passages and al-
lays KaphaDoshas. Its main pharmacolog-
ical action is Amapachanaand make Ama
stable (it obstructs the processing of prod-
uct of digestive impairment i.e. Ama)
which helps in glucose uptake in insulin
sensitive tissues like as muscle, fats etc. by
enhancing activity of insulin receptor (Aa-
varanaghna effects).
The TiktaRasa12
has potency to improve
the basic cellular metabolism due to their
Shodhana properties. Tikta rasa with its
lekhana and shoshana properties, it cleans
srotasa, it helps in the shoshana of bahu
mutrata, and shodhana of Mutra vahasro-
tasa.Tikta has a property of shoshana for
sharirakleda,meda, majja, lasika, mootra
and kapha.
Amalaki is potent rasayanaushadha, with
its rasayanaguna, amalakipossess anti-
diabetic effects through their antioxidant
and free radical scavenging proper-
ties.Oxidants and free radicals are called to
be responsible for the micro vascular dam-
age in diabetes.Ras sindoorpossess special
property ofyogwahiand abhraka is called
to be have properties of aakashmahabhoo-
ta, with these two special properties, Hari-
shakar rasa, adds on the properties of Am-
laki and Haridra, acts on the level of mi-
cro channels (Srotasa) and cellular level,
as it can easily reach these places with
these special properties.
Khadir-Kramuk Kwathhas a maximum of
Kashaya Rasa13
followed by Tikta Rasa
and Katuvipaka.
Kasaya Rasa acts as a controller of
excessive urination;Dhatu kasayaandO-
jaKsayathrough urine by their Stambhana
properties.It absorbs Kleda, Meda, Vasa
and KaphaDosha. Kasaya rasa not only
reduces the peripheral insulin resistance as
well as clinical manifestation of the dis-
ease.
In pathogenesis of Madhumeha,
Vata Dosha is predominant factor. For
controlling of Vata Dosha, the contents
ofHarishankarRasaandKhadir-Kramuk
Kwatha have properties of Rasayana an-
dYogvahieffects. Harishankar Rashascon-
tents of Laghu, Ruksha, and TikshnaGuna
which balance with Snigdha Guna, Guru
Guna.LaghuGuna is Kaphaghna, pro-
motes Vata Dosha and depletes the quan-
tum of Dhatus in the body. RukshaGuna
also promotes Vata Dosha and pacifies
Kapha and Meda Dhatus. TikshnaGuna-
promotesPitta Dosha Pacifies Kapha Va-
taDoshas and possesses Srotoshodhaka
activities. All of these processes are bal-
ance with Madhura Rasa, Rasayana and
Yogvahi properties of drug.

sayana and Yogvahi which pacify the Vata

Tikta Rasa, KatuVipaka may act synergis-
tically to produce beneficial effects on the

Grahi, Deepana and Amapachanaas well
