Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Dear Jagannath, Your last post about treatment of fractures by heat was interesting. Do you have more info about it or a web link? Thanks, GB Khalsa A case in point is the treatment of fractures by heat. In the nearby hamlet patients from all over India with untreatable fractures come to be treated. I personally know two MD's who have benefitted from the treatment. One of them now practices in the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Dear Khalsa ji, The treatment is locally known as Kalupada Ghat Seka Chikitsa based upon the name of the village Kalupada where a family of ayurveds give this treatment. It is a family occupation and they don't divulge their modality. First the place of the fracture is covered with a poultice of a certain herbal mixture and over this heat is applied in the form of a heated iron rod. The patient does not feel the heat. The treatment is very popular here and even the railways have made a special stoppage at that place for the convinience of patients. I think I will make a trip to personally see for myself as it is hardly 2 hours journey from here. The only problem is I may feel depressed by the sight of so many patients which is why I have put off goin there. Orissa is also famous for four "divine manuscripts" which can prescribe medicines for your ailment. One of them has been subject to scrutiny by a popular professor of the Utkal University. His research has attracted many. You have to go to the owner of the manuscript very early in the morning, light a lamp and wait your turn. If your turn comes your question is heard and the manuscript opened randomly and that page contains the remedy. The knowledge about this spread by word of mouth and a small scale town has developed where there were only a couple of huts in a paddy field earlier. Even our ex-Prime Minister Sri P V Narasimha Rao had visited the place. A year after his visit the then Congress Govt here was instructed to build a highway quality road to the place and also give the place the sanction of a town. So it is very obvious he was immensely benefitted. You may ask why I don't go there. You see the manuscript will also reveal if your disease is not curable and then go ahead to predict the date and time of your death. I am not too eager for that information.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Jagannath, This is very interesting and on the cutting edge. How long does it take for the fracture to heal? Is it just the treatment that heals or is it also psychic healing? I wish I had that treatment earlier in my life for some broken bones.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Dear Khalsaji, The treatment is very satisfactory. Many patients go to the hospitals for the correct settings and the sling and then go directly there to be treated. There is no psychic element here. The mainstream doctors have enquired about the herbs and also the process but the vaidyas there have refused to divulge details under the plea that the procedure will become ineffective if the knowledge goes out of the family. I think the proper authorities have to take interest and assure the family that they will not be cheated if they reveal the secret. Secrecy is never good for medicine. Trying to cash in on the trend many have tried to open similiar treatment centres in Orissa. But they all have failed. Let me see if I can visit the place and find out more about how patients are benefitted.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Dear Guru Khalsa, A few days back you had enquired on ayurvedic methods to deal with fractures. There is an orgnisation in Bangalore - Foundation for revitalisation of local health traditions (FRLHT) - and they come out with a bi- monthly magazine called HERITAGE AMRUTH. Each issue deals with a separate topic and their latest issue (Dec. 2005) is titled Amruth for your bones. It contains good information on ayurvedic aspect of bones and everything related with it. Their website is frlht.org.in If you can get hold of the issue it will be very useful to you. I beleive we have a member m.mathpati who may be associated with the organisation. Maybe he could help Guru Khalsa get a copy of the same. Cybervaidya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Dear Cybervaidya, Thank you very much for the info on fractures. I was very surprised at the information that Jagganth gave about the Ayurveds that worked on fractures and the speed of healing. I did not realize any herbs could significantly decrease healing time. I looked at the website you mentioned and it is well done. Thanks Dear Guru Khalsa, A few days back you had enquired on ayurvedic methods to deal with fractures.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Dear Khalsaji, You see this is how ayurveda continues in India under various garbs. Much of our village medicine may well have some ayurvedic basis forgotten over time. These methods should be studied so that ayurveda can reclaim the knowledge.
