Guest guest Posted May 27, 2007 Report Share Posted May 27, 2007 hi since this subject was opened, i have a question too. it refers to patients with cancer, using chimiotherapy. the naturist treatment involves plants wich are reducing the toxins in the body, while the chimiotherapic treatment is very toxic and it's effect consists in their cito-toxicity. the logical conclusion would be that detoxifying plants are reducing the efficiency of allopathic treatment. how is it actually? till now i recomanded plants in between sessions of chimiotherapy and not during them. is it right? what should i do? ______________ In fact, Ayurvedic medicines have no conflict with any other system of healing, even allopathy. I have observed that most of the times, Ayurvedic medicines enhance the beneficial effects of other medicines or activities.................

Guest guest Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Dear Cristina, Ayurvedic medicines generally do not act by antagonism, as you think in regards to cytotoxic treatment in cancer. If that was the case, medicines causing Kapha, which are cold in nature, should have relieved Pitta and also increased Vata by virtue of it's cold property. But such things do not occur. Otherwise it would have been very difficult to treat. Ayurvedic medicines, if taken with cytotoxic cancer drugs, will infact protect the healthy tissues from the damaging effects of such drugs. But more clinical studies and research is needed to prove this. Till then, you may use Ayurvedic medicines concurrently without doubt and fear. I refrain to give my opinion about other herbs not mentioned in Ayurveda, as I have no working experience with them.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 thank you for reply. indeed, here we are using also local plants which are not mentioned in ayurveda. some of them have an indian equivalent and they are almost similar to them, but there are small differences given by different soil composition, weather and subtil athmosphere they grow from. we import some of the plants from india, but they seem different each time, most of the time small differences but sometimes big ones, like warming effect in a plant which was suppose to be cold. (maybe they are collected in a different moment or our suplyers are not to be trusted). we also use that NONI which doesn't grow in our country and those mushrooms from China and Japan (shiitake and reishi) ________________________________ Ayurvedic medicines generally do not act by antagonism, as you think in regards to cytotoxic treatment in cancer.
