Iatrogenic diseases

[Guest guest]

Dr. Bhate spoke about Iatrogenic diseases. An interesting thing

happened to my sister. Last SSaturday, she had a pain in her

abdomen. Evidently, it hurt quite a bit since she went to the

hospital. A few years ago something similiar happened to her and they

diagnosed her as having "twisted intestines". She is a "high

strung " person. They operated on her then. This time they did tests

on her and they found out nothing. She was on IV's for 5 days. She is

not into natural health like I am but I thought it was pretty amazing

to be in the hospital for that long with nothing to show for it. Do

any vaidyas have any idea of what was wrong with her? I told her to

take some probiotics and some carmitave herbs

Obstetric intervention caused diseases has become an important topic

for discussion on this group as seen by number of recent posts. Why

not? while ayurveda is considered the science of longevity, it must

also address the issue of birth, the starting of life. Everyone

wishes to live infinitely long leaving his off springs behind, so

that in a way, life is extended infinitely.

Hi GB

 

if you are looking for distinctions between sattva, rajas and tamas,

this is a perfect illustration

hard to say what the problem is without more info, but it probably was

simple colic, perhaps related to IBS

if it was IBD then they would have seen it; same with an obstruction,

diverticuli or strangulation

 

tell her take some extra vitamins A,C,E and zinc to speed healing,

along with herbs such as self-heal, plantain, calendula, and mullein

some comfrey or St. John's Wort salve/oil to rub over the surgical wound

as far as diet is concerned, suggest no flour/dairy/sugar, food

combining and digestive support (enzymes, dipanapachana herbs etc.)
