Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi, I did a search in the messages and couldn't find any info, so sorry in advance if this question has already been posted. my husband takes Lipitor and genfibrisol (sp?) for high cholesterol. he's been taking them for about 5 years (he's 28) Is it possible to take an ayurvedic medicine such as guggulu? and would he start this while taking the other meds? or stop the others (which his doc said not to do) and start something ayurvedic? I would just like to find him a natural solution to lowering his cholesterol. thanks tracey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Hi, Definitely , you may get solution for your hubbys problem of cholestrol in ayurveda. But you have to take the treatment from the highly qulified ayurvedic doctor. You may contact your doctor for treatment plan, diet plan, excercise for the problem. You can start following treatment under doctors observation a) Mahayograj Guggul 2 tabs with warm water two times daily b) Arogyavardhini 2 tabs with warm water two times daily fresh one glass water + 2 tab spoon honey daily with moring empty stomach. Diet : avoid fast food, cold drinks, beer, spicy food . excersize: Anulom-Vilom Pranayam 5-7 mins, walking. Thanks. tracey_rao <no_reply> wrote: my husband takes Lipitor and genfibrisol (sp?) for high cholesterol. he's been taking them for about 5 years (he's 28) Is it possible to take an ayurvedic medicine such as guggulu? and would he start this while taking the other meds? or stop the others (which his doc said not to do) and start something ayurvedic?

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Tracey Prof Hingmire has suggested some pharmacy medicine already to you. Some Indian pharmacies add Kajjali (made from mercury and sulphur) to Aarogyavardhini Ras. This you should know in advance, later on do not get shocked by adverse propoganda on net and in media on mercury issue. More than 60 messages could be found by using search facility on group website provided by . When you click on 'messages' button at left of screen, you get a screen where you can type in a keyword ans search. Our group has a large number of postings on colesterol issue. Todd has done quite a serious research and believs that cholesterol is a marketing niche word for drug giants rather than a health issue. Please see a number of recent messages http://health.ayurveda/messages/3812 http://health.ayurveda/messages/4266 http://health.ayurveda/messages/4282 http://health.ayurveda/messages/4304 http://health.ayurveda/messages/4435 http://health.ayurveda/messages/4509 You will discover different opinions of esteemed group members, Serious side effects of statins and lipitors may be found in these messages. The experience of one member in reducing cholesterol using ayurvedic strategy (guggulu) is also recorded in one message in above list. On the other hand, simple home remedy is suggested by Dr Vaibhav Mehta at: http://health.ayurveda/messages/3258 This is a suggestion coming from nothing less than a university for specialised ayurvedic education in Pune, city considered as Homeland of Godess Saraswati, the Godess of education. One more home remedy coming from elderlies: Take 1 tsp fenugreek seeds, soak them in 1 cup (75 ml) water at bed time. Next morning, throw away fenugreek seeds and drink water alone first thing in morning. Give 30-45 minutes gap before eating anything else. This remedy will have "heavy metals" contained in the water you use as well as those in the soil where fenugreek was harvested. Despite your research, if you wish to continue present medication, you need to keep a gap of one hour between allopathic medication and ayurvedic medicines or "home remedies", to avoid possible interaction. If discontinuation of allopathic medication is decided, better do it with consultaion with your present healer, since many heart medicines are "addictive" and may cause highly undesirable outcomes if stopped suddenly. There has been some research in literature and info on drug databases on discontinuation effect of anti-hypertensives too.
