7yo with Addison's Disease

[Guest guest]

Dear Rima

 

For ayurvedists, it becomes difficult to understand, if one describes

disease in terms of mainstream medicine terminology. However, we try

to find ayurvedic equivalent name, or without worrying about name of

the disease, start the treatment if we can find what is causing the

disease, using Kapha, Vata, Pitta state of the body. Ashtang Hridaya,

a well known ancient text endorses this view.

 

This author realised after reading the meaning of Addison disease on

website:

http://www.endocrine.niddk.nih.gov/pubs/addison/addison.htm

 

that he is treating two cases of this disease. Two girls one aged 15

and another 24(on steroidal painkillers), both unmarried, suffering

from rheumatism symptoms. swellings on fingers and around knees,

fatigue, body pain all over, inadequate development of body which

should have occured after puberty, and most striking was scanty

menstrual flow. Treating the case as "Anartav" or hormonal imbalance

(less estrogen and growth hormones) caused by autoimmunity, the

author started the treatment. Vegetable soups, fruit juices, liver

detoxes and hormone balancer medicine from PanchGavya therapy were

used. The elder girl's steroids were tapered off in two months, while

younger one's body pains, knee pain stopped after two months. For

total elimination of body pains, elder girl needed six months

treatment. Younger is likely to require one more months treatment.

Mainstay treatment here consisted of Liver detoxes followed by Panch

Gavya medicines and Guggula tablets for rheumatism.

 

The speed of cure really increased by attacking auto-immunity by 1)

Liver detoxes coupled with veg+fruit juices 2) Hormone balancer panch

Gavya medicine Nari Sanjivani. (see Govigyan.com), Unfortunately,

these medicines are available in India only, not exported yet.

 

Purpose of the message is to assure you that despite all that she has

gone through, cure is possible, if you turn to Naturopathy, ayurveda

etc.

about the long term side effects of the steroids.
