REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY...



REMOVING GALLSTONES NATURALLY...
By: Dr.Lai Chiu Nan

Possible 'dangers'
Before I pass on this method to remove gallstones, I should point out that some doctors have warned of its "dangers". They say that, if the gallstones are too big, they might end up being stuck in the gall bladder ducts and this could be dangerous. In theory, this might happen. So if you are afraid, don't do it.

When you embark on natural remedies, whether to remove gallstones or for other purposes, you need to take responsibility for your own health and I shall not be held liable for any harm or danger that you might experience. At the same time, when you embark on natural cures, it helps also to understand the reasons behind some of the procedures.

In this case, part of the method to remove gallstones naturally involves drinking plenty of apple juice for about a week. It is believed that some substance in the apple juice, probably malic acid, helps softens the gallstones so that the risks of them being stuck in the gall bladder ducts are minimised. In any case, if you lack the confidence, don't do it.

Just be aware also that surgery and other medical procedures to remove gallstones UN-naturally also come with their own set of risks. You decide which risks you wish to take.

It has worked for many.  If it works for you please pass on the good news. Chiu Nan is not charging for it, so we should make it free for everyone. Your reward is when someone, through your word of mouth, benefits from the regime. Gallstones may not be everyone's concern. But they should be because we all have them. Moreover, gallstones may lead to cancer. "Cancer is never the first illness," Chiu Nan points out. "Usually, there are a lot of other problems leading to cancer.

In his research in China , he came across some materials which say that people with cancer usually have stones. We all have gallstones. It's a matter of big or small, many or few.

One of the symptoms of gallstones is a feeling of bloatedness after a heavy meal. You feel like you can't digest the food. If it gets more serious, you feel pain in the liver area." So if you think you have gallstones, Chiu Nan offers the following method to remove them naturally.

The treatment is also good for those with a weak liver, because the liver and gallbladder are closely linked.

Regimen: 
1. For the first five days, take four glasses of apple juice every day. Or eat four or five apples, whichever you prefer. Apple juice softens the gallstones. During the five days, eat normally. 
2. On the sixth day, take no dinner. 
3. At 6 PM, take a teaspoon of Epsom salt (magnesium sulphate) with a glass of warm water. 
4. At 8 PM, repeat the same. Magnesium sulphate opens the gallbladder ducts. 
5. At 10 PM, take half cup olive oil (or sesame oil) with half cup fresh lemon juice. Mix it well and drink it. The oil lubricates the stones to ease their passage. 
PS. 1cup=250ml,  1 cup lemon juice=3 lemons (aprox.)
The next morning, you will find green stones in your stools. "Usually they float," Chiu Nan notes. "You might want to count them. I have had people who passes 40, 50 or up to 100 stones. Very many."

"Even if you don't have any symptoms of gallstones, you still might have some. It's always good to give your gall bladder a clean-up now and then.

NO GUARANTEES

This method to remove gallstones naturally MAY NOT WORK for everyone.
Medical advice is still important in this type of regime.  Taking out gallstones naturally, the better, but follow up from doctors and experts is recommended.

POSSIBLE DIARRHEA
Another possible side effect of this natural way to remove gallstones is "instant diarrhea" at the last step, Number 5  of the Regimen.  But just in case... do this gallstone removal remedy at home, and do the last step nearby a toilet.

Ayurveda doctors support ISMGA's objection to redesigning Ayush course title by Dr MGR Medical Varsity


Ayurveda doctors support ISMGA's objection to redesigning Ayush course title by Dr MGR Medical Varsity


Expressing solidarity with the Indian Siddha Medical Graduates Association (ISMGA) for their agitation over redesigning the Ayush course titles by the vice chancellor of TN Dr MGR Medical University, the Kerala chapter of the Ayurveda Medical Association of India (AMAI) has made a scathing attack on the University’s move.

Coming down heavily on the blatant attack on ISM courses by the vice chancellor, Dr Mayil Vahanan Natarajan, AMAI has alleged that the vice chancellor might have a hidden agenda to eradicate the Indian Systems from its own land. While speaking to Pharmabiz, Dr Rejith Anand, the Secretary of AMAI said the actions of the vice chancellor have shocked and dismayed all those who see the universities as places of learning. He said it is the duty of the VC to facilitate all the health sciences students update their knowledge with the advances in medical sciences, whether it is Indian or western.

Meanwhile, by seeing the story in Pharmabiz, the reporter of BBC from London has contacted the president of ISMGA asking about the steps taken by the university in revamping of ISM courses.

While expressing deep anguish over the VC’s plan to remove the term ‘surgery’ from the nomenclature of ISM degrees, the AMAI secretary said several Ayush systems including Ayurveda have their own surgical methods like agnikarma, ksharakarama etc. He asked whether it is an offence if an Ayurveda medical practitioner opens a wound and drains the pus. “Nobody will go to an Ayurveda doctor for cardiac surgery or spinal surgery. Even the layman goes for minor surgeries only to specialist surgeons and not to mere MBBS doctors,” Dr Rejith said.

Regarding revamping of syllabus, he said the syllabus for Ayush courses is designed by Central Council of Indian Medicine (CCIM) and respective committees. Dr Mayil Vahanan has nothing to do with the syllabus of Ayush courses. He is vested with the powers to implement the guidelines issued by concerned authorities. According to Dr Rejith, the father of surgery is Susruthacharya who was not an allopath. The allopath only modifies the practices by means of scientific developments. Since the VC is an ortho surgeon he may not have knowledge about Ayush treatments, he commented.

“Irrational disputes between systems of health sciences will not fetch any good result for the public. The common man has the right to choose his option and he knows very well where to go for better healthcare,” he added.

On March 26, Dr Mayil Vahanan Natarajan sent a letter to the Union health minister, Dr Gulam Nabi Azad, requesting him to consider the term ‘surgery’ suffixed to each undergraduate ISM course be removed and the nomenclature of the courses be redesigned accordingly. He wrote in the letter that the term ‘surgery’ could be used only when the candidate was exposed to the training for performing surgeries on the patients.

Earlier there was allegation that the VC had tried to take away some portions dealing with modern medical sciences from the syllabus of these courses.

Siddha practitioners increasingly losing trust in system:





Siddha practitioners increasingly losing trust in system:
Dr Thirunarayanan


Confidence building measures have to be initiated among practitioners of Siddha system as they are increasingly losing trust in the system due to various reasons, said Dr T Thirunarayanan, secretary of Centre for Traditional Medicine & Research (CTMR), Chennai.

While speaking in a function organised by the Tamil Nadu Siddha Practitioners on World Siddha Day, he said the main reason for this negative thinking is the impression that heritage or traditional knowledge is irrelevant in the current scenario. But the science of the system is rooted in genomics which is based on the concept of ‘Vata’, ‘Pita’ and ‘Kapha’. Even though, there is unique diagnostic methods like ‘Noi Nidhanam’, the modern Siddha practitioners are going after modern medical gadgets just for glamour. These modern medical equipments and the way of healing do increase the cost of diagnostics and treatment, he said.

Quoting an incident he witnessed in an International Arogya Fair, the CTMR secretary told the practitioners and students of Siddha that even the allopathic doctors recognize the expertise of Siddha physicians in pulse diagnosis. He said it is helpful for deciding the primary line of treatment based on the ‘doshams’ or basic reasons. “Our diagnostic tools are purely dependant on the skill and expertise of the physician, which is possible to develop by constant practice. Application of this is possible even in remote locations. Traditional Chinese Medicine not only thrives in that nation, but also globally because they totally trust in their basic concepts,” Dr Thirunarayanan said.

Highlighting the need of uniformity in treatment, he said it is time to incorporate the local health traditions in training and the local biological resources. In different regions in the country different herbal plants are recommended for same disease, this shows that there is no uniformity in treatment. This has to be changed and common single drug selection has to be introduced. Likewise, the tradition advocates for simple plant based remedies rather than inorganic. Today everybody is over depending on inorganic medicines, he maintained.

Referring to the traditional ways, he alleged that the present day Siddha practitioners are drifting away from natural production of medicines and going after modern industrial products. This is against what the age old Siddha system has taught or advised. That is why the traditional knowledge of drug manufacturing was included in the medical curriculum which contained training in pharmaceutics both at graduate and post graduate levels. He said during CTMR’s field studies on local health traditions, they came across healers who developed indigenously simple but effective processing equipment and technology.

“Today everybody wants to gather information with the help of internet and very few time is devoted for learning classical texts and holding discussions. Even some manufacturing industries are contorting the methods prescribed in the classical texts. Critical analysis and commentaries needs to be made based on in-depth studies in each area which would make our understanding of concepts much better. It is absolutely essential to study the composition of the classical medicines in-depth and appreciate the beauty of their composition and design. In our over enthusiasm to invent new proprietary medicines we fail to understand the reasons why ingredients are incorporated,” he commented.

VC’s ‘surgery’ irks Indian medicine docs 

The Indian medicine fraternity has launched a fresh tirade against the vice-chancellor of the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University — this time for attempting to remove the term ‘surgery’ from Ayush degree courses such as ‘Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery’ (BAMS) and Bachelor of Siddha Medicine and Surgery (BSMS).
The Indian Siddha Medical Graduates Association has procured a letter from vice-chancellor Dr Mayil Vahanan Natarajan addressed to top health officials including Union health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, urging them to remove the term ‘surgery’ which is suffixed to all the degree courses.
In his letter, Dr Mayil Vahanan says, “The term “surgery” can be used only when the candidate is exposed to the training for performing surgeries on the patients. In reality, no surgery is involved in the Indian systems of medicine.”
In August last year, the state’s premier medical varsity invited trouble when a high-level committee decided to change the syllabus of Indian medicine courses by removing sections that taught modern medicine and surgery. 
This move provoked protests by Siddha and Ayurveda students across the state and ended when Central Council of Indian Medicine warned the university that it had no authority to make such changes to the prescribed syllabus being followed in hundreds of colleges across India. 
A case filed by Siddha doctors against the vice-chancellor has been pending in the Madurai high court since then.
Reiterating his stand on the issue, Dr Mayil Vahanan Natarajan says, “I wrote to all Siddha, Unani and Ayurvedia colleges in TN and asked for a list of surgeries they had performed over the past year.
There was no proper reply. I do not mean to offend anybody, but these are the facts. Practitioners of Indian medicine do not perform any surgeries and they do not have ‘ayurvedic’ anesthesia.”
“The term ‘surgery’ at the end of their degrees could be misleading. People’s lives could be in jeopardy,” says Dr Mayil Vahanan, who claims he raises these issues to protect patients.
Countering the VC, Siddha practitioners point out that MBBS graduates are also not allowed to perform surgery, but they still are called ‘Bachelors of Surgery’. 
“Siddha and Ayurvedic medicine students learn all the basics of surgery too, they also have lessons in modern medicine to help them diagnose and refer patients who need immediate allopathic attention.
When I receive a patient with appendicitis, I would definitely refer him to an allopathic surgeon; and not perform the surgery myself,” says Dr Selvin Innocent Dhas, president of Indian Siddha Medical Graduates Association. 
While Siddha doctors are confident that the surgeon-status would not be docked off their degrees just by the efforts of one VC, they contend that such issues would affect the confidence of students.
