Alternative systems of health include various healing approaches that originate from around the world and that are not based on conventional western medicine. There therapies are called alternative system of health as they are used alone as complementary medicine or these can be used with conventional medicine.
đFree webinar on "Natural Healing"
The healing power of nature refers to the body's innate ability to heal itself. When illness or imbalance occurs the body naturally wants to correct this in an effort to be healthy and well. As naturopaths we believe that symptoms are a manifestation of the body's attempt to rehabilitate.
Naturopathic medicine recognizes and respects the inherent self-healing ability of the body. Identify and Treat the Cause. The naturopathic doctor seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than trying to eliminate or suppress symptoms. First Do No Harm.
More insight about alternative medicine for treatment of illness either than the orthodox way of treatment, outlines various methods of treatments including their originations and purposes, naturopathy, Ayurvedic medicine, chiropractic medicine, homeopathy medicine, bone setters and bone letting . It also seeks to explain how we use traditional and alternative medicine in health seeking behaviors. Itâs outlines the differences between traditional and alternative methods of treatments .

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowmanâs Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

DISSERTATION on NEW DRUG DISCOVERY AND DEVELOPMENT STAGES OF DRUG DISCOVERYNEHA GUPTA
Â
The process of drug discovery and development is a complex and multi-step endeavor aimed at bringing new pharmaceutical drugs to market. It begins with identifying and validating a biological target, such as a protein, gene, or RNA, that is associated with a disease. This step involves understanding the target's role in the disease and confirming that modulating it can have therapeutic effects. The next stage, hit identification, employs high-throughput screening (HTS) and other methods to find compounds that interact with the target. Computational techniques may also be used to identify potential hits from large compound libraries.
Following hit identification, the hits are optimized to improve their efficacy, selectivity, and pharmacokinetic properties, resulting in lead compounds. These leads undergo further refinement to enhance their potency, reduce toxicity, and improve drug-like characteristics, creating drug candidates suitable for preclinical testing. In the preclinical development phase, drug candidates are tested in vitro (in cell cultures) and in vivo (in animal models) to evaluate their safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. Toxicology studies are conducted to assess potential risks.
Before clinical trials can begin, an Investigational New Drug (IND) application must be submitted to regulatory authorities. This application includes data from preclinical studies and plans for clinical trials. Clinical development involves human trials in three phases: Phase I tests the drug's safety and dosage in a small group of healthy volunteers, Phase II assesses the drug's efficacy and side effects in a larger group of patients with the target disease, and Phase III confirms the drug's efficacy and monitors adverse reactions in a large population, often compared to existing treatments.
After successful clinical trials, a New Drug Application (NDA) is submitted to regulatory authorities for approval, including all data from preclinical and clinical studies, as well as proposed labeling and manufacturing information. Regulatory authorities then review the NDA to ensure the drug is safe, effective, and of high quality, potentially requiring additional studies. Finally, after a drug is approved and marketed, it undergoes post-marketing surveillance, which includes continuous monitoring for long-term safety and effectiveness, pharmacovigilance, and reporting of any adverse effects.

⢠To give the rights of practicing to Registered
Medical Practitioners enrolled by the Board as
qualified physicians
⢠To improve public health
⢠To establish, organise, finance and maintain
dispensaries, hospitals, research institutes etc.
of alternative systems of medicine.
13. ⢠Ayurveda is the traditional medicine of India
⢠It emphasizes re- establishing balance in the
body
⢠Ayurveda lays emphasis on promotion of
health by maintaining equilibrium among the
structural and functional entities within the
human being
⢠According to Ayurveda, everything is
composed of five elements: air, water, fire,
earth, and space.
16. ⢠This system believes that there is an intimate
link between man and environment.
⢠This also lays emphasis on understanding the
causes of disease being diagnosed by complete
history taking, examinations and observations
of the body
⢠Siddha system makes use of metals, minerals,
plants and animal parts in treatment.
19. ⢠Origin in Greece
⢠The system is not only therapeutic in nature
but also takes care of preventive and
promotives aspects.
⢠The treatment is individualised based on the
diagnosis and the underlying causes which are
identified by feeling pulse, observation of
urine, stool, colour of skin etc.
22. ⢠Origin in Germany
⢠It is based on four cardinal laws i.e. the law of
similar, the law of direction of cure, the law of
single remedy, the law of minimum dose
⢠It is useful for acute & chronic conditions.
⢠Homeopathic remedies are typically derived
from plants, herbs, minerals, or animal
products.
25. ⢠It is based on application of laws of nature and
advocate regulation of living activities, purity
etc.
⢠It makes use of nature based therapies.
⢠Naturopathy is holistic system, promotes
physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual
health.
⢠It builds immunity, improves mental health, and
enhances body functions.
30. ⢠Meditation means sitting or resting quietly,
often with the eyes closed, which stills the mind
for greater self-awareness.
⢠Meditation also helps in reduction of pain and
relieving stress.
⢠It also involves sometimes the repetitive
sounding of a mantra, which helps the person to
focus.
33. ⢠Relaxation techniques are aimed at relaxing
muscles and quieting the mind and are mainly
designed to relieve tension and strain.
⢠It is also used as an alternative treatment for
insomnia
36. ⢠In hypnosis, a person is put into an advanced
state of relaxation in which he is relatively
unaware of his surroundings but not entirely
unconscious about it.
⢠A hypnotized person follows the instructions
given by the hypnotherapist and tends not to be
to psycho logic stress and conflict.
39. ⢠Yoga is an ancient science and helps to co-
ordinate body and mind.
⢠A number of Yogic postures are described
which need to be learnt under supervision and
guidance and need to be chosen and practised
carefully for preventive, promotive and
therapeutic purposes.
42. ⢠Biofeedback is a group of therapeutic
procedures that use electronic or
electromechanical instruments to measure the
process and information to person about their
neuromuscular and autonomic nervous
system.
⢠The information or feedback is given in
physical, physiological activity or visual
feedback signals.
46. ⢠Herbal medicine is a system, which uses
various remedies derived from plants and their
extracts to treat disorders and maintain good
health. Either a whole single herb or a mixture
of different herbs can be used.
⢠Herbal medicines are available as extracts,
infusions, pills, and powders.
49. ⢠Orthomolecular medicine involves the use of
proper nutrition or nutritional supplements to
maintain and restore health. Orthomolecular
medicine uses combinations of minerals,
vitamins and amino acids normally found in
the body to treat specific conditions.
54. ⢠Chiropractic is based on the theory that disease
conditions result from misalignments of body
structures, especially the spine.
⢠Due to this misalignment pressure is placed on
the nerve roots as they exit the spinal column
resulting in decreased function of the nerve
and the organs that they serve.
55.
56. ⢠Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and
treatment by manipulation that mainly focuses
on musculo- skeletal problems. It differs from
chiropractic in its underlying theory that it is
impairment of blood supply and not nerve
supply that leads to problems. Doctors of
osteopathy use manipulation plus traditional
medicine to cure problems.
57.
58. ⢠It is the manipulation of body tissues to
promote wellness and reduce pain and stress.
⢠It plays an important role in treating illness or
chronic ailments, and contributes to a higher
sense of general well being.
⢠It involves a variety of techniques such as
stroking or kneading for applying pressure to
specific points.
59.
60. ⢠It is the practice of stimulating points on the feet,
hands and ears to improve health or give a
beneficial effect on some other parts of the body.
⢠It is commonly performed on the particular areas
of foot that are believed to correspond to different
organs or systems of the body.
⢠This helps to eliminate the blockage of energy
responsible for pain or disease in the
corresponding body part.
61.
62. ⢠Fine needles are inserted at specific points to
stimulate, disperse, and regulate the flow of
vital energy, and restore a healthy energy
balance.
⢠In addition to pain relief, acupuncture is also
used to improve well being and treat acute,
chronic, and degenerative conditions in
childrenâs and adults.
66. ⢠Reiki is a technique, which uses the
channeling and flow of energy through the
body to improve health and promote healing.
⢠It is very much different from conventional
healing therapies. Because in a Reiki therapy,
there are no medicines or tools needed to heal
diseases
67.
68. ⢠This technique uses the therapist's healing
energy to identify and repair imbalances in a
person's biofield.
⢠They believe that by placing their hands on or
near a patient's body they can direct energy
and correct disturbances.
70. ⢠Bioelectromagnetic-based therapies use pulsed
energy or magnetic fields to alter the bodyâs
electromagnetic fields and cure illness.
⢠Magnets have become a popular treatment for
various musculoskeletal conditions and even to
relieve pain.
