Leukemia (ALL) in Child who is 5 years

[Guest guest]

Dear Group Members,

 

My friend's son who is 5 years old has been in the hospital this

week. He has been diagnosed with Leukemia, specifically the Acute

lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). The family is very upset and per the

recommendation of the medical team they started the chemotherapy and

steroids along with some medicines.

 

I would like to find out what ayurveda's perspective and treatment

plan would be and if there is a vaidya out there who has treated and

cured a child with this before. The family is located in California.

 

Is it possible to combine ayurvedic treatment with medical treatment

(chemo + steroids). Do these interfere with each other?

 

Finally, any thoughts on wheat grass juice?

 

Would appreciate it very much if you can provide any information.

 

Thank you,

 

Namaste.

Dear Friend,

The complementary Ayurvedic help is always available and can be used as adjuncts

to mainstream care for the management of symptoms and improved quality of life.

But before you consider ayurvedic support including administration of wheat

grass, you should be familiar  with ayurvedic approach of treating Leukemias.

    Ayurvedic Acharyas carefully consider this condition as Amaj

raktadhatu-pravrit (Leucocytic) disorder due to poor Raktagni. There is

depletion of Raktagni paving the way of ama formation. It is followed by

vitiation of kapha dosha. It also manifests as first prokopa and then depletion

and dysregulation of vata (Prana) element. This complex pathogenesis is

responsible for uncontrolled immature white blood cells. The ayurvedic treatment

revolves round the tridosha balancing and may be of clinical interest.

    There are seven ayurvedic herbs that can provide natural defense against

blood cancer growth.These are Colotropic gigantica (Madar), Semicarpus

anacordium (Bhallataka), Plumbago zeylanica (Chitraka), Vinca rosea (Sadabahar),

Phyllanthus niruri (Bhuiamaalki), Emblica officinalis (Amla) and Tinospora

cordifolia (Guduchi). There is urgent need of clinical trial on these ayurvedic

herbs. Out of seven, the Madar, Bhallataka, Chitraka and Guduchi are more

promising.

    The use of alternative and complementary medicine is wide spread among

patients with blood cancer. Throughout the world many patients with cancer try

many form of questionable and unproven treatment methods.  I am not expert on

ayurvedic cancer therapy but wish to convey my ideas on the subject. Since you

are in California, you can contact NCCAM Clearing House (National Centre for

Complementary Alternative Medicine, Toll-free 1-888-644-6226) for authentic

additional information.

Namaste
