blood tests for ruling out toxicity frombhasmas?

[Guest guest]

Dear

If a person is affected by toxicity of bhasmas,whether acute, sub-acute or

chronic, then the person should exhibit some retrograde symptoms.

If my results show that the patients get relieved / cured of their problems,

their metabolism improves, there is proper Agni, why should I suspect a toxicity

at all?

You don't need to do toxicological tests on each and every patient taking

bhasmas. Besides it's impractical and unaffordable and unacceptable to the

patients, when the patient is not exhibiting any toxic effects.

I have not felt the need for such investigation till date, having completed

around 18 years of progressive consultant practice. I am concerned with the

welfare of my patients and use of bhasmas has not hampered my objective as well

as my practice.

I repeat that it is irresponsible prescribing and sub-standard manufacturing

that can cause episodes of toxic reactions. I get my medicines prepared

according to stringent Ayurvedic standards and prescribe them strictly according

to indications only, not just because I want to make some opportunistic

business.

with all due respect, how do you know they don't produce a toxic

effect? subacute and/or chronic heavy metal toxicity may be difficult

to detect - it would be very easy to confuse these symptoms for other

diseases, years after administration.

 

do you routinely conduct blood tests on patients to rule out

toxicity? what external evidences including toxicological trials do

you reference to support the use of bhasmas?
