Realistic cure prospects for common diseases

31. RENAL CALCULUS

Calculi up to 7mm are surely curable whereas those with 8mm and even 9mm also respond with success over a period of 6 to 12 weeks .

But medications need to be continued for about 6 months to prevent recurrence of the calculi .

Uric acid stones do not respond much to medications whereas calcium oxalates and phosphates are surely curable in a span of 2-4 months.

32. MIGRAINE

This is curable by medications for 1-6 months and external oil applications over head for the same duration . Some respond in below one month duration also.

Most get total cure in one year and do not show recurrence whereas some need two years to attain such a state.

Recurrence can surely be delayed and most often avoided for at least two years.

33. SINUSITIS

Chronic sinusitis is manageable if chronicity is of above 2 years. Some respond in one month of medication.

Sure cure is possible for sinusitis that is not more than two years chronic.

Medications for 3 months will be required for some for cure .

Even hyposmia cases can be managed by medications and localized treatments.

Anosmia does not respond to Ayurveda medications.

34. EPILEPSY

Petit Mal is manageable with 4 -6 months of medication.

Epilepsy that is devoid of etiology of space occupying lesions, devoid of TB, and those with akinetic seizure and temporal lobe epilepsy are treatable and brought under control in 4- 6 months duration.

Epilepsy in children is curable and so is for the teenage group of patients by medications for about 6 months .

Febrile fits found mostly in children are curable by 3 months medication.

Tonic clonic and grandmal seizures are not curable by Ayurveda.

35. PSORIASIS

Curable but chances of recurrence always depend upon the diet restriction and modification and stress elements of the patient.

Treatments for 3 weeks and medications for 3 -5 months are required for very severe chronic cases of over 10 years in which the lesion sizes are as large as even 18cms to 25cms .

Guttate psoriasis, isolated scalp psoriasis are curable.

Nail changes can be reversed and made better in a span of 60 days.

In psoriatic arthritis the symptoms and signs can be totally controlled but some patients show relapse after one year.

It has been noticed that Ayurvedic food habits and stress have a major role in deciding the healing.

Treatments are required continuously for 3 years –once a year basis-at a fixed time for a duration of 2- 3 weeks in genetically prone cases. This is seen to have delayed the recurrence for as long as five years.

36. URTICARIA

Cure by 3 weeks medication.

There is a relation between food patterns and the flare up of this disease.

Some severe cases with vomiting and breathing difficulties also respond very quickly.

37. ECZEMA

Dry variety is tougher ( than the wet variety ) to be cured and is curable if the chronicity is less than 2 yrs.

Duration of medication for cure is at least 3months.

Weeping eczema responds very remarkably to medicines in the first ten days itself, new fine layer of skin is formed in the span of one and half months.

Duration of medication – less than three months.

38. HERPES

Self resolving mostly yet 3 weeks of medications are required .

Post herpetic neuralgia is generally tough to respond to medications and requires at least 6 months to obtain 70 % relief .

Cure remains elusive in most cases.

39. HEMORRHOIDS

First and second degree piles are curable . Medication is required for at least 4 – 6 weeks by which symptoms are totally eradicated .

By 3 – 4months the pile mass shrinks off very substantially.

Third degree prolapsed piles is surgical and intervention by Ksharasootra is the best option.

Bleeding variety responds faster than the non bleeding variety. Some severe cases respond within 4 – 5 doses of medicine.

Some carcinomas are found to mimic as bleeding piles in their presentation .

40. FILARIASIS

Acute case is curable in 3- 6 weeks duration.

Elephentiasis and filariasis of one year chronicity is not curable.

41. BENIGN PROSTATE HYPERPLASIA

Some patients do not respond whereas a good majority report notable symptomatic relief in the span of one month of medication. Thus cure remains elusive.

Patients with PSA levels above 10 do not respond to medicines generally.

42. HEMANGIOMA

Response is found within 2 weeks and substantial cure in one month duration

43. TENNIS ELBOW

Generally curable and requires low dosage medicine for minimum 3 – to maximum 6 months with special bandages with herbal pastes.

External application of medicines are more important than internal medications alone.

44. VARICOSE VEINS

Response to medicine is the best in cases not more that 2 yrs chronic and those with no hereditary predisposition.

3 weeks of medications, special bandages and life style modifications give substantial relief but structural changes remain the same- the bulging of the veins remain unchanged.
