Ayurveda, integrative part of Complementary and Alternative.pptxLadislau Rosenberg

The power of Ayurveda is based on its great clarity and global understanding of the interrelationships between organic physiological processes and external factors, such as climate, emotional states and especially nutrition, which is seen as the key element in the disease-health relationship.

Ayurveda Versus Allopathic Treatment - Ayurvedic medicine For Kidney CareKARMA AYURVEDA
As Ayurveda concentrates on the starting reason to cure the influenced zone and related arrangement of our body, you'll likewise need to keep up a sound way of life and control what you devour to get the most out of the treatment.
Then again allopathic medicine is an articulation authored to allude to standard therapeutic utilization of pharmacologically dynamic operators or drugs and physical mediations, for example, surgery to treat or stifle manifestations of disease
Asthma solutions and inhalers, for example, fluticasone cause throat disturbances, upper respiratory tract diseases, cerebral pain, roughness of voice, parasitic contaminations of oral cavity and thrush. These ordinary medicines likewise result in diseases of ear, nose and throat when utilized as a part of kids. While, ayurvedic medicine never causes these symptoms.
The distinction amongst Ayurveda and Allopathy is principally in light of three attributes.
(1) Ayurveda relies upon a progressive structure as opposed to a trial approach in allopathy.
(2) Ayurveda adopts a philosophical strategy in light of the Vedas to wellbeing while Allopathy concentrates on logical clinical trials making utilization of all measures that have ended up being of significant worth in treatment of disease.
3) In Ayurveda the emphasis is on counteractive action of disease and to discover the main driver to bring the body once again into adjust instead of the attention on regarding side effects with mediations as in Allopathic medicine.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes

My rendezvous with Ayurveda was not just coincidental. My husband Dr. Atul and his guru Prof. P. H. Kulkarni insisted
on using Ayurvedic preparations in my clinic. In addition, our Pharmacology maestro of Seth G. S. Medical College and
K. E. M. Hospital (Mumbai), Late Dr. Sharadini Dahanular’s work showed a path. She was the one who had studied
importance of various Ayurvedic herbs in Indian health scenario. She was conferred the prestigious fellowship of
Institute of Indian Medicine for this pioneering work. Studies by some allopaths like scientist Dr. Shubhada
Bopegamage from Czechoslovakia about Sanjeevani Guti in managaemant of Rotavirus Diarrhoea and by Paediatrician
Dr. Sunita Belgamwar about Ayurvedic herbs made me curious.
Belonging to an Allopathic background, I was little sceptical in the beginning. However, after over 3 years and around
thousand patients, I can now comment and recommend many Ayurvedic preparations. More than a scientific study, this
a document based on my experiences. I hope, it gives a brief idea about how Ayurveda and modern medicine together
can show path to many who are in need..
1. Respiratory system:
Chronic allergic sinusitis, Rhinitis, Allergic bronchitis, Adenoiditis and Tonsillitis are some of the most
commonly found seasonal and non-seasonal ailments in one’s paediatric clinic.
Sometimes, these are recurrent and found with frequent acute attacks. Antibiotics, anti-allergics,
bronchodilators, bntipyretics-NSAIDs and sometimes steroids are the main line-of-treatment.
Often the recurrence is so frequent that these medicines alone can result into many side effects, failure
to treat and resistance.
Finally, we decided to try some combinations of Ayurvedic-Allopathic origin. Tablets like Sanjeevani
guti1
, Tribhuvan Kirti2
, Sookshma triphala3
and Laghoosootshekhar4
along with a blend of Sitopaladi
choorna5
and herbs viz. Vasa (Adulsa –Adhathoda vasica), Tulsi (Holy Basil), Lemon grass (Liquorice),
Jyeshthamadh (Glyceria glabra), Ringani (Solanum Indicum), Shunthi (Ginger), Koshtha, Shrungi
were given. Now after over 2years of trial-and-error we have come up with a Chatan (Linctus-A
delicious powder with honey to be consumed twice or thrice a day). This ‘chatan’(Linctus), formulated
and manufactured with FDA norms and blended at our clinic has already become kids’ (and their
mothers’) favourite.
Children with chronic allergic sinusitis, rhinitis, allergic bronchitis, adenoiditis and tonsillitis have
shown a significant reduction in the frequency of attacks. Their threshold has increased and
vulnerability much reduced. Dependence on antibiotics-steroids-inhalers has reduced. With this
newfound protocol, we could also notice a significant rise in the appetite and improvement in
digestion. A big number of children with acute, chronic and recurrent middle ear infection (Otitis
media) come with high-grade fever and acute pain in ear. This combination has shown highly
encouraging results in Otitis media too.
2. 2
I must note that, after coming across some Ayurvedic basic-concepts, I have started to advice people to
pay more attention to their lifestyle and food. For instance, we advice the patients who have recurrent
and chronic ENT ailments and allergies to avoid curds, yoghurt, guava, citrus fruits, strawberries,
grapes and bananas. This may sound contradictory to the popular belief that vitamin ‘C’ rich food
helps to improve the immunity and builds the resistance against ‘triggers’. However, I have seen very
significant improvements in patients after suggesting these changes.
2. Digestive system:
Anorexia:
‘My kid doesn’t eat!’ is probably the most frequently heard sentence in my clinic. Mothers, who are
generally anxious about their children not eating ‘enough’, develop a sense of depression when they
see their children not wanting to eat at all.
Loss of appetite can be associated to many other physical ailments like worms, liver malfunction, lack
of vitamins and minerals, malnourishment etc. We, as modern doctors would prescribe an
antihelmentic, an enzyme appetizer or a vitamin-mineral supplement. The problem about these
medicines was, their inheriting side-effects and inability to prescribe them for a long duration.
Nevertheless, with an Ayurvedic perspective, I started giving some syrups. These contain herbs like
Kumari (Aloe vera), Vidanga (Emblia ribes), Pippali (Piper longum), Draksha (Vitis vinifera/Grapes),
Honey, Shunthi (Ginger- Zingiber officinalis), Ajamoda (Carum roxburghianu), shatavari( Asparagus
racemosus), Common fennel.
These syrups boosted the appetite and improved absorption. Now the kids eat well and put on weight
faster. Now, their mothers are much happier than I am!
Constipation, Fissure:
Many children develop constipation at a very early age. An early ‘potty training’ is necessary which
the parents often take casually. Kids who consume dry and salty food with less roughage and fibres
develop chronic constipation. Constipation creates painful fissures, which make defecation an
agonizing procedure. This adds to the child’s reluctance to pas stools on time and stools become drier.
This vicious circle needs to be broken. Some laxatives help for some time. Ayurvedic preparations like
Triphala, Yashtimadhu, Draksha give a natural digestive-laxative advantage.
Triphala powder boiled in water and used for ‘seats’ bath’ relives pain, relaxes muscles and kills
bacteria.
Worms:
Worms can be found in many Indian children up to 14 years of age. Malabsorption, pica,
pigmentation on skin, nail biting, itching and Loss of appetite are generally found.
Antihelmentics are generally prescribed. I have started using Syrups containing*
Vidanga (Emblica
ribes), Sabja (Ocimum bacillicum), Palash (Butea frondosa), Kutki (Picrorhiza kurroa), Nagarmotha
(Cyperus rotundus), Chirayata (Swerita chirayata), Ajamoda (Alpium graveolens), Kala jeera (Carum
carvi), Kutaj (Holarrhena antidysentrica), Dikamali (Garderia gummifera), Anarmool (Punica
3. 3
grantum). According to Ayurvedic scripts and research, it helps to expel the worms, especially
roundworms and Tapeworms. Also helps to tone up digestion and prevents recurrence.
Diarrhoea:
Exposure through contaminated water and poor hygiene triggers the chances of Diarrhoea. Many
times, Diarrhoea is a difficult situation to manage. Kids lose weight and energy very fast. They may
have fever, vomiting, pain in abdomen and malaise. Antibiotics, antispasmodics, antipiratics help to
relive symptoms to certain extent. However, every Diarrhoea is not a bacterial Diarrhoea. Hence, these
medicines alone do not work. There are many Ayurvedic syrups available, which contain mainly the
following herbs*
:
Kutaja (Hollarhina antidysentrica), Bilwa (Aegle marmelos), Mochrasa (Salmalia malabarica), Hinga
(Asophoetida, Ferula narthex), Daruharidra (Berberis aristata). These syrups show a very rapid
improvement, faster control on number of stools and vomits and a better post-episode management.
3. Skin diseases:
Dry skin, Eczema, Dandruff and Erythema are some of the commonly found skin ailments among
children. Shatadhouta Ghruta (Ghee- specially processed in water/ Clarified butter), Oils like
Chandanbalalakshadi are found effective in the management of different skin disorders.
‘Suvarna Bindu’:
With a little research in the field of ‘using gold for health’, we found references6
in ancient Ayurvedic
texts about how Gold triturated and treated with different herbs and minerals can be used for health.
Since centuries, Ayurveda has been using a number of gold compounds in management of diseases
ranging from Paralysis to Arthritis and Infertility to Asthma.
‘Pushya Nakshatra’ is a very typical astrological formation of different planets and stars in reference to
the Earth. ‘Pushya Nakshtra’ comes once or twice every month and it is believed to have great
significance for health and prosperity. It is also believed that gold bought and ‘consumed’ on this day
brings longevity, health and beauty.
We organize a ‘Suvarna Bindu Prashan camp’ on every Pushya Nakshatra day.
Specially formulated drops of Ayurvedic Suvarna Bahsma, herbs Bramhi (Bacopa monieri), Vacha
(Acorus calamus), Haritaki (Terminalia chebula) in honey and Ghee are given to over 200 kids and
adults. After over 15 months, we have noticed a significant increase in the general health of the
children. They are eating better, falling sick less often and feeling more energetic and bright. A
significant control on mood swings and improvement in memory noted.
My experiences with Ayurveda in modern paediatric practice have come a long way. From scepticism
to confidence and from trials to new protocols. I look forward to documenting these encouraging
results and being able to present them to the global community through various scientific journals.
4. 4
I wish these efforts and observations prove at least a small step towards building a healthy childhood
and a better society.
