Title: ALLOPATHY - HELP LINE
Post by: vishwanath69 on March 04, 2011, 07:07:14 PM
Om Sai Ram,


My dear Sai family,

I am unlike you of the firm belief that Allopathy does not have the answers to all problems.I believe taking Baba's vibhuthi is in itself the cure for all problems.There is also much to be praised about Ayurveda and Homeopathy..I trust in these modalities of therapy as well.
I am an allopathic doctor with a speciality in Cardiology.If any devotees have any questions or want any clarification, I via media Baba will be humbled in answering your queries.

With the deepest affection to all my sai bandhus and beyond..

Dear Saibhandu,

Kindly suggest based on your experience working with type 2 diabetes, if any.  I Baba's grace, I have been able to take Baba's udi (vibhuthi) with water and also apply it almost every day.  Many thanks in advance.

Om Sai Ram.

Dear Sai Bandhu,

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is more to do with insulin resistance ( wherein our cells do not accept the insulin produced ) as it has to gradually decreasing insulin levels.There are many people at different steps of this disorder.The early ones in whom dietary restrictions coupled with exercise is enough to those taking medications.Broadly there are groups of drugs till now.

1) Sulfonylureas: Daonil(trademark) is an example.They try to stimulate our beta cells of the Islets of Langrehans in the pancreas to secrete more insulin and to some extent facilitate the uptake of glucose by our cells.

2) Biguanides: These are used extensively and even have some conditions where they are prescribed for non diabetic disease states.

3) Glitazones: another group that help in insulin secretion and reducing insulin resistance.They do have side effects like water retention and therefore may lead to swelling of the feet etc.One such drug ROSIGLITAZONE ealier used is now banned by the US FDA.There are some cardiovascular side effects too.

Other products like Acarbose that absorb the glucose in the intestine are also used, they cause bloating and nausea in some.

4) More recently DPPI have come into the market.They are pretty expensive ( trademark ONGLYZA ).They are being prescribed rampantly as all new drugs do but despite studies and scientific literature they are yet to prove themselves in the long run.

5) Lastly Insulin, in various forms (re-combinant human DNA) are resorted to if blood sugar levels are not maintained.

The targets are a completely fasting blood glucose <110mg/dl and a 2 hour post meal blood glucose level<140.HbA1C is a diagnostic tool and reflects general diabetic control over the past 3 months: target < 7.0 at least.

Apart from these it is important to maintain a healthy dietary and exercise routine (indeed they are the milestones that are the key )Weight reduction to your optimal Body Mass Index (BMI ) is recommended.

Your consumption of Vibhuthi with a glass of water is preciously important.There is no denying that.Baba is all pervasive and most benevolent to his devotees.However Baba also told us to maintain our body so that our mind and thought remains healthy. Please do check your blood glucose (fasting and post prandial) once a month.If they continue to remain normal it is wonderful.If however they are high then you need to seek a doctors guidance.

I have been very brief..if you have any specific issues please feel free to ask.Baba bless you with the best of health.Jai Sai Ram

ALLOPATHY HELP LINE --- OM SAI RAM

Om Jai Sai Ram,

Respected Chettnard ji,

You have posed a very nice question.I shall attempt by Baba's grace to simplify and give a response that may help you.

1, Diabetics and Non diabetics alike (both groups):

            Fasting Blood Sugar <  110 mg/dl

            2hours after a meal  <  140 mg/dl            HbA1C: < 6%

In a a non diabetic this willl clearly reflect normal ranges.
In diabetics, the above are the optimal targets.


2. Your spouse is taking METFORMIN twice daily. This is a biguanide, and although does not promote insulin production, manages diabetes by two methods:

a) It has an action which intrinsically allows weight reduction; namely produces some weight reduction.
b) It reduces insulin resistance whereby much of the glucose absorbed by our intestines is facilitated easier entry into the cells of the body by a reduction of Insulin resistance ( an important key reason why Type 2 Diabetes devolops ) and therefore the utilization of glucose and it's blood glucose level reduction tends to take place.

The key is not just medication, but timely regular diet, the 'right diet', weight reduction by exercise such as walking an hour or initially 1/2 hour daily to burn up calories.

HEALTHY DIETARY HABITS AND DAILY EXERCISE ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT AND WITH BABA'S BENEVOLENCE AND GRACE EVERYTHING WILL BE NORMAL.

Healthy body and healthy soul..may Baba bless all your family with both. :)

ALLOPATHY HELPLINE ----OM SAI RAM

Dear Chettnard ji,

I am sorry that I cannot answer your question regarding the availability of homeopathic or Ayurvedic medication to cure diabetes.Personally speaking taking bitter gourd helps, but that is all possible to means which I have no knowledge of,

Please try to understand Diabetes is a managable disease it is however not a curable disorder.Your husband is on Glyciphage twice daily.However I repeat, to try and get rid of medication he needs to to do two very important things:

 1.PROPER TIMELY DIABETIC DIET

2.DAILY EXERCISE IS A MUST.

HE MUST REDUCE HIS WEIGHT TO WHAT IT SHOULD BE FOR HIS HEIGHT. (BMI)IF WE ARE CASUAL ABOUT THIS THEN I AM AFRAID INSULIN RESISTANCE ONLY INCREASES AND THE MEDICATION LIST WILL GO UP.

He also needs monthly blood sugars in a laboratory of good acreditation to ensure you can track his sugar control.There are adjunctive medication such as anti cholesterol drugs and aspirin he should take, I shall write about the neccesity of these in my next post.

Baba will ensure your husband's health. His devotion will lead him to the right path.I shall pray for your family and husband in particular.Sai Ram and Baba always bless you.

Regards,

Dr.R.Vishwanath

ALLOPATHY HELP LINE ------ OM SAI RAM

Dear Chettnard ji,

I had mentioned the that I would give up a follow up post regarding further precautions a diabetic should take.Briefly put here are some of them:

1. It is always important that a diabetic not only maintains his sugar control as tightly as possible.Diabetics have a tendency to increased cholesterol levels as well, and it is mandatory for them to get their FASTING LIPID PROFILE checked.Regardless of the reference ranges given by the laboratory the recommendations are:   Total Cholesterol< 160                             
                                 LDL                 < 100(some recommend < 70 if there are more risk factors.)
                                 HDL                 > 45 (at least above 40)
                                 Triglycerides     < 160

Not only is a raised LDL and/or Triglycerides harmful, a low HDL is an independant risk factor for cholesterol deposition.It is important to take adjunctive medication : Atorvostatin/Rosuvastatin 10 mg at bed time is a must. If Triglycerides are also elevated then addition of Fenofibrate is neccessary.These drugs are for life time.Have your cholesterol checked initially 6 monthly and then annually.CPK levels and Liver Function tests to see that these are not causing any side effects should be carried out initially

2. It is also important that Aspirin be taken at a dose of 75 mg(dosage varies depending on the country you reside) as in some countries lower doses of Aspirin are prescribed.This should be taken daily after lunch.The role of Aspirin is very crucial.Acidiity accompanying this medication may be thwarted by other medication, if the acidity is not tolerated.

3.It is important to get Serum creatinine and a routine urine exam as this will reveal any affectation of the kidneys.If proteins are found then taking a group of drugs such as ACE Inhibitors or ARB ( Angiotension receptor blockers ) retards the progrssion of kidney dysfunction.

4. It is also important to get : Retinal examination by an Opthalmologist annually.
                                         A comprhensive health check annually.
                                         ( these are usually as a part of diabetic check up in most hospitals)
                                         Cardiac Screen

5. More importantly remember, remember, remember: DIET, EXERCISE AND WEIGHT REDUCTION.
                                                                       Stop any tobacco consumption.
                                                                       Alcohol is best to be abstained from consumption.
Some people and there is a lot of controversy that moderation in alcohol consumtion is ok, such as a glass of red wine.However if you take the whole picture then abstinence is best.Baba always advocated the non-consumption of such intoxicating habits.

Many people will say that all these drugs have side effects and better resort to alternative therapy.Let me assure you that the side effects are far outweighed by the use of these medication and adoption of such life style changes.It is always wiser to listen to a qualified person rather than your neighbour,relative or a close friend.They may mean well but they are not you and it is you who will have to bear the brunt of the disorder.I am not trying to put you into a panic, I assure youl. It is my humble request that you take the appropriate steps now than later.
Baba is always with you and his love to you and your family will always keep you and your family healthy.He is the Master.

I am not a Ayurvedic doctor or Homeopathic doctor.I am sure they have their methods and I respect them for that.I have given you a summary of what is practised in the entire world.This is evidence based researched and documented proof. Our love and belief in Baba is also infinite...jai sai ram :) :) :)

Dear Vishwanath ji, you are God-sent. Thank you for your humble help here! May Baba bestow his loving blessings on you always.

My father has high blood pressure and cholestrol. He takes medicines for high blood pressure and has an asprin everyday. Yesterday, he showed symptoms of a cardiac arrest, this has happened a few months ago as well.
He got out of the shower and had a strange pain on his left footr toes, which moved up to his left knee and then to his left shoulder and then to his chest on the left hand side. We did not want to take any chances so we went to the hospital at 10 am (Priot to that I gave him Baba's prashad and applied UDI on his forhead). They took out an ECG and did an electrolyte count blood test. Both were normal. The doctor gave him a medicine to thin his blood to block any cardiac arrest. He however kept him under observation for another hour and did another ECG, which again was normal. The doctor said he wanted to do another ECG and electrolyte count blood test to rule out any cardiological issues.  Few hours later, those tests showed normalcy. He has a treadmill test to do this Tuesday to be a 100% certain that this is not to do with his heart.
He has been perfectly fine today and has shown no symptoms of pain. I thank Baba for that!
I would really appreciate your input on this! Thank you :)

ALLOPATHY HELP LINE --- OM SAI RAM

Om Sai Ram

Respected saisai83 ji,

Let us first resolve not to panic or take things impulsively.Let us apply our minds cooly to what is your father's background(medically) and his symptomps which led to an obvious sense of tremendous worry on your part.

There are several positive points here indicating that his heart is not the cause of symptoms. His presentation of pain seems atypical, and given the sequential ECG's which as per your statement are normal, I would think cardiac ischaemia at that time is unlikely.His symptomps are what we term atypical pain not suggestive of cardiac ischaemia. ( non cardiac in nature ). What seems a little odd here is as to why the doctor did not ask for a TROP-T/TROP-I test. If this was negative after 90 mins of onset of the symptomps it would have been a great source of information.Furthermore why was not a bedside 2D echo ( heart scan ) carried out. Again if it was normal without showing any areas of wall motion abnormality in the heart then our diagnosis would be more confirmative in that this episode had nothing to do with his heart.

I have not seen his ECG's nor do I know his anti hypertensive --medication.If the doctor asked you to go for a treadmill test then let me assure you he too feels his symptoms are unlikely to do with his heart.No doctor asks for a Exercise ECG if he feels that there is even the remote possibility of the events being cardiac related have occure recently .Furthermore as your father is a hypertensive there is a chance for a Treadmill test to show a false positive ( namely positive test, but not truly indicative of his coronary circulation.).

In my professional opinion please do not get emotional and panicky.The way I see it your father never had a cardiac event. The question is how do we go from here? I would rather than a treadmill opt for a Dobutamine Stress Echo (DSE). This is far more reliable than a Treadmill test. I would ensure that he is off any beta blockers( in his medication) for two days prior to this test and substitute them for some temporary medication for blood pressure control during the two days prior to this test.Once this is clear you can relax.

I truly think his episode had to do with cervical spondylomyelopathy and lumbar radiculopathy rather than anything cardiac. Unnecessary repeated tests like repeated electrolytes are not of any significance.Trust Me your father is in the umbrella of Baba's protection. The episode you describe in my professional opinion is non cardiac.

Please remain calm and do not rush into unwarranted tests.Commercialism has become a bane in the medical profession.If you seek further clarifications kindly xerox his ECG's, scan them and send them to me at my e-mail.Please also do not forget to mention all his medication in your mail. I shall provide u my contact number in my mail so as to be in your reach if you need help.Please do not hesitate
Baba the Master shower his love and blessings on you and your family.

I promise to stand with you in the hour of your need. My e mail id should be accesible on my post at the left hand side.
GLORY BE TO OUR MOST MERCIFUL AND LOVING SADGURU SAI NATH. ( My own prayer: Baba you have granted me your permission to start this message board..master you who is the wire puller has given me this chance..allow me to help those who are in need ) :) :) :)Saisan ji, Baba is with you I am only a puppet in his hands.Please apply Vibuthi to your father and also give him a glass of water with Vibhuthi.

Dear Vishwanath ji,

First of all, I would like to thank you with the deepest gratitude for writing such a detailed and informative response to me. May Baba bless you and your family always! :)

Yes, unfortunately, it is a play of commercial practices and claiming more fees through our medical insurance here, we are based inDubai. My apologies, I forgot to mention that the doctor plans to have an echo test along with the treadmill test on this Tuesday. I do not have the reports as the hospital has retained them, I shall get hold of copies of it when I go along with my father on Tuesday and will scan and send them to you via email.

I really want to thank you for all the help you have extended! You are truly a blessed and higher soul :)

The moment was really stressful as we are going through a bit of a rough patch at the moment. I am in the process of a divorce and what we are dealing with has caused stress in grief in all our lives. This too could have been a factor contributing to this.

I would really appreciate if you could please elaborate on TROP-T/TROP-I test so I can ask the doctor if he would conduct them as well. Also, I'd be greatful if you could please tell me more about  cervical spondylomyelopathy and lumbar radiculopathy.

My father has been having an Asprin Protect 100 everyday along with Zilos 50.

Yes, you are absolutely right, we are under Baba's umberella and he is our refuge and protector :) Baba's faith has pulled us through many high mountains that we have climbed with his blessings. This too shall pass with his grace! I am forever indebted to our Baba for always being so loving and kind to us and standing by us as our rock!

Once again, thank you so much Vishwanath ji for so much help and support, it is very kind of you! May Baba always be with you!

I could not get access to your email through this forum. Would it be possible to send me a blank email on saisaisai83@gmail.com so that I can save your email address and send you the copy of the reports on Tuesday?

I will apply UDi on my father now and give him some UDi mixed with water to drink as well :) Thank you so much for the guidance!

Jai Sai Ram!

2. NIMESULIDE: A commonly used pain killer is also banned. People use this for adults and children alike for minor pains and fever.Due to a variety of reasons this is stillwidely available in India, over the counter.Kindly stop the usage of this medication.

Many drugs although banned are sold openly.Please check your medication and ask your doctor when he is writing your prescription of any side-effects to expect from the prescription.

Respected shamigal ji,

I note that your mentioning that you are a nursing student. All the more reason for you to realize that Psoriasis can indeed be controlled, there are multiple modalities of therapy, including creams,medication and PUVA therapy.I strongly suggest you meet a skin specialist where such facilities are available.I am truly sorry but my limitations do not allow me any further suggestions.You have to approach the right doctor who specializes in dermatology.

Furthrmore please remember that your affliction does not make your personality any difference.You have chosen nursing, what a way to serve the real needy ! Truly beauty is only in the eye of the beholder and from your post you seem to be a caring person andyour inner beauty is more visible.

There have been significant advances in the field of Psoriasis, please go and see a dermatologist in the hospital of your choice.Baba will always be with you and you will find a lot of change.
I am unfortunately not versatile with dermatology.However I am aware of quite a few colleagues.Please be kind enough for me to enquire and discuss with them. Sai Ram

Respected shamigal ji,

I am sorry for the delay in my response.I have contacted a friend who is a good dermatologist. She had asked me several questions, however as you had not provided much information, apart from your various trysts with other doctors and the use of zincoderm, I was unable to give her much information.

She is emphatic that your skin affliction can be managed without any real significant trouble. :) :) :)
However I do need some details, please mail me at my e-mail id with your medical history.When Baba is with us what do we have to fear?

I may be in a position to help you. Please mention your present location, so that I can find out if I have any freinds in that locality.This will help in trying to get in touch with them and get you to a qualified dermatologist.

However if you do not want to divulge any information,,I shall post an article written by the freind I have already contacted.

A humble suggestion, please drink a glass of water with vibhuthi every day.All of us including myself and my colleagues are just mere puppets. Baba our Master is the one who holds the strings.Glory be unto him

My dear Sai bandhus,

I just returned from Delhi after attending a National Interventional Council in Cardiology.Baba was so loving and graceful, that I had the opportunity to meet many colleagues and also got the opportunity to give two talks on certain interesting scientifically advanced procedures,albeit for the time restriction.By the grace of our Sadguru both were well accepted.Baba continues to bless me with such wonderful opprtunities.I humbly offer my gratitude to his lotus feet.I am available for any queries ..kindly allow me to carry forth in Baba's service.

Dear manmeet ji,

Thank you for your words of encouragement.You are kind, however I have not done anything.It is only and only Baba's grace that has allowed this thread.However more recently questions are not forthcoming, perhaps it is the worry of revealing something which may be intruding on their privacy or confidentiality.
One way perhaps is for my sai family to ask questions in the third person or as a general query. I humbly accept the task which I feel has been handed to me by our Sadguru.

Please utilize this board...this is for you as well as me, for it gives my life a meaning in that I am being of some service.

My humblest salutations to you all,

Respected manmeet ji,

Thank you for your kind post.

Now as regards your question regarding migraine:
It is odd but many practicing doctors still attribute migraine to a narrowing of the arteries lining the brain. Migraine is actually a disease triggered by brain cells due to certain precipitating factors. Concepts regarding the cause, treatment and specific therapies including neurosurgery in severe forms are well described. I shall write a lengthy article on the latest on migraine.Unfortunately I had already written this and was about to post it when my broadband connection failed me once again.I was unable to retrieve the post.Migraine is definitely a manageable and in many cases curable.

Kindly describe your symptoms so that I can rewrite the whole update for your specific needs.It is your symptomps that will help me determine whether you are suffering from migraine or any other form of headache.Thank you for your patience manmeet sir.

Baba be always with you. Sing and dance to the glories of Baba our loving master :) :) :)

ALLOPATHY HELPLINE ---- OM SAI RAM

Respected Manmeet ji,

Migraine and its basic underlying cause have been misunderstood by many over the past several years. It was several years ago believed to be due to the spasm and subsequent expansion of blood vessels lining the brain. Some continue in this belief. The reality is however that true Migraine is a genetic disorder where
Spontaneous over activity and abnormal amplification in pain and other, predominantly sensory, pathways in the brainstem, leads to migraine.

Current opinion opinion favours a primarily neural cause, involving feedback loops through innervation of cranial arteries in the trigeminovascular system (a nerve Pathway). It is thought that a relative deficiency of 5-HT (serotonin) and a calcium like peptide hormone leads to this disabling headache. It is thought that as many as 10 people out of 100 suffer from this disorder. The main type of migraine is thought to be polygenic ( affecting a series of genes ).

Initially it is important to confirm the diagnosis. Migraine may be mis-diagnosed whereas the individual may be suffering from a different cause for headache. This is done by a good clinical documentation of actual symptoms, including trigger factors and associated symptoms, followed by a thorough general and neurological examination. The commonly similar headaches that are thought to be migraine but are not truly so are TTH (Tension Type Headache).I do not mean tension as in stress but spasm of the scalp muscles. The second possibility is that of cluster headaches a relatively rare condition which often present with disabling unilateral headache and are associated with autonomic dysfunction.
(Sweating, flushing, nausea etc...).The third more challenging is MOH, namely Medication Overuse Headache. This typically complicates migraine which is then transformed into a chronic daily headache similar to chronic TTH often with some migrainous features. As you can see arriving at the appropriate diagnosis may not be that simple.

So what are the symptoms of migraine?
International Headache Society Diagnosis Criteria for Migraine
•   Without aura
o   1. At least 5 attacks fulfilling 2-4
o   2. Headache attacks lasting 4-72 hours (untreated or unsuccessfully treated)
o   3. Headache has at least two of the following four characteristics:
- unilateral location
- pulsating quality
- moderate or severe intensity which inhibits or prohibits daily activities
- aggravated by walking stairs or similar routine physical activity
o   4. During headache at least one of the two following symptoms occur:
- nausea and/or vomiting
- photophobia and phonophobia
o   5. At least one of the following three characteristics is present:
- history and physical and neurological examinations do not suggest one of the disorders listed in 5-11
- history and/or physical and/or neurological examinations do suggest such a disorder, but it is ruled out by appropriate investigations
- such a disorder is present, but migraine attacks do not occur for the first time in close temporal relation to the disorder

•   With aura
o   1. At least two attacks fulfilling 2
o   2. Headache has at least three of the following four characteristics:
- one or more fully reversible aura symptoms indicating focal cerebral cortical and/or brain stem dysfunction
- at least one aura symptom develops gradually over more than 4 minutes, or tow or more symptoms occur in succession
- no aura symptom lasts more than 60 minutes; if more than one aura symptom is present, accepted duration is proportionally increased
- headache follows aura with a free interval of less than 60 minutes (it may also begin before or simultaneously with the aura)
o   3. At least one of the following three characteristics is present:
- history and physical and neurological examinations do not suggest one of the disorders listed in groups 5-11
- history and physical and neurological examinations do suggest such a disorder, but it is ruled out by appropriate investigations
- such a disorder is present, but migraine attacks do not occur for the first time in close temporal relation to the disorder.

There are other forms of migraine but I am trying to keep it as simple as possible, and therefore have omitted these. As it is this post appears very complicated, however if you read it you will understand. I have tried my best to keep it as simple as possible.

DO YOU REQUIRE TESTS OR SCANS?

Well to be honest many physicians have or do not spend time in history and clinical examination and there are some who would like to be defensive against any form of future litigation. There is also the pressure from the patient or immediate relatives itself to get a scan, as they fear something more sinister and hence frequently request for a scan. A CT Scan is invariably done in these settings; however for scientific purposes MRI scanning is preferable. However if the history and clinical examination are carried out thoroughly the need for a scan is questionable. Given the commonality of migraine just imagine the huge number of scans, most of which are unnecessary.


PREVENTION AND TREATMENT ?

Put very simply, non-pharmacological management of migraine helps  identify things that make the problem worse and encourages them to modify these. It is important to explain that the tendency to suffer an attack probably varies because of some cycling changes in the brain that are not well understood. This is why avoiding things on some days will prevent attacks and, perversely, enjoying the same things on other days produces no headache. Rather than make a long list of things to avoid you  should first be encouraged to have regular habits and not to exceed their limits.
Regular sleep, exercise, meals, work habits, and some time for relaxation will be very rewarding in terms of reducing headache frequency. Avoiding what regularly triggers attacks (and not being disturbed when the long list of advice in the magazine is not useful) are good general advice for migraineurs. Migraineurs are individuals; encourage them to individualize their trigger avoidance. Extensive and exclusive dietary advice is rarely useful; the decision to start a patient on a preventive drug requires input from both doctor and patient. The basis for considering preventive treatment from a medical viewpoint is a combination of acute attack frequency and attack tractability. Attacks those are unresponsive to acute attack medications are easily considered for prevention at almost any frequency, whereas simply treated attacks probably do not provide candidates for prevention. The other part of the equation relates to the natural history.
If a patient diary shows a clear trend for increased frequency it is probably better to get in early with prevention than wait for the problem to become intractable.
A simple rule for frequency might be that:
 (i) For one or two headaches per month there is usually no need
to start a preventive.
 (ii) For three or four headaches per month it may be needed, but not necessarily.
(iii) For five or more headaches per month prevention should definitely be on the agenda for discussion.



There are medications that are simple analgesics and these may be sufficient. If however they are not then the use of Sumatriptan may abort an attack.Prophylactic treatment with beta blockers may be needed if the frequency of attacks are unbearable. Drug therapy should always be instituted under the guidance of a good physician whom you have personal rapport with or good faith in as drug therapy in a particular situation is best determined by a qualified person.

There is some evidence that as the age of the person increases they may have complete remission from migraine, they are curable!!!

I am not going into the various drugs for reasons of safety. Generally the MIDAS (Migraine Disability Assessment scale) guides the modality of therapy.

However like I have written before make sure that your headache is indeed a migraine first. Baba with his grace will surely ensure your rapid improvement. I strongly believe that vibhuthi in a glass of water and devout thought of him will be immensely helpful.
I would also be wrong if I do not mention that as I am a Cardiologist despite a background of Internal Medicine, I had to do some studying and discussions with some neurology colleagues prior to posting this broad outline.
Baba has been again very merciful. I hope you have a general outline manmeet sir. If there are any specific queries please do not hold back.

Vishwanath ji Thank you for this informative and useful post.
I am madam not sir  :)
 I am suffering from swear headaches   from the last 10 years.  There is one spot in the middle of my head where I feel swear Pain, during pain I sometimes vomit also.  I remember  when  the situation went worst like when in every week I had 2 or three attacks I went to  PGI and Dr prescribed me some pills for three months, (I don’t remember the name) and a pain killer Domcet,  and  advice me to take the pain killer only  when u feel headache is going to start . From the day I started the treatment  and  I was taking medicines I was feeling  better  when I finished three months treatment  again  it started . But not in that way,  attacks  frequency was  less. Then after some time someone advised me to take homeopathy treatment. After taking 6 months Homeopathy treatment situation was much- much better. Now I am  much better,  now  attacks come with the gap of one  or two  months then I take same tablet  Domcet . Sometimes I feel it is due to stress , Sometimes I feel it is due to very much cold or very much hot  weather I don’t know what is the exact  reason  of my headache.

Dear Manmeet behen,

There is nothing wrong in your question..manmeet ji. My father who is no longer was in the Indian Foreign Service, hence my education and living was spread around. I graduated (12th ) from the U.S. I completed my basic degree in Medicine in Madras.I went on to study in the u.k and stayed there for several years.I returned to India on my father'sretirement after two extensions to Andhra Pradesh to Hyderabad in particular. I practiced Cardiology in England for 8 years and chose to resign and join my parents in Hyderabad. I am not sure of the context in which you ask but I have nothing great to put forth. Suffice it to say Baba Baba allowed me the best of education in the best of universities outside India. I am an MRCP and acredited Cardiologist.There are a few other degrees but what good are they ? A doctor's credentials is not his degrees but his work ethos.Any thing more sister ?As far as your Domcet is concerned it is a simple analgesic with an a drug to prevent vomiting.I think you may perhaps have migraine in a very mild form. You do not require any preventive medication.

My dear Sai family,

It is strange but a thought about a particular post occurred to me and the morning newspaper discussed the same topic. My practice since the last 19 years has been a little different.I do not encourage many appointments and spend 45 mins with each person who comes along. I carry out a full documentation of the history, a full general examination and then after reaching a provisional diagnosis sit with the person and his accompanying attendants and explain to them my clinical findings and discuss all possibilities.This includes diagrams if required as they are easily grasped by the patient and put forth what we ought to do to resolve the problem at hand.This is done in a positive and jovial atmosphere and invariably I end up discussing not only medical aspects but ask several completely non medical things such as where they live, how they enjoy their professions and how their general feelings.In most situations after starting this form of approach people ask me some personal questions, to which I do not hold back. I repeatedly remind them that they should ask whatever that springs to their mind and not hold back for fear of making me uncomfortable.You will be surprised as to how many of them have turned into my freinds and one person has also registered their name and is now a member of this blessed abode of Baba.

The reason I write this may be thought of some form of self adulation.If that is the case I would emphatically say no. This has been my modality of practice and Baba knows that.The one exception I have is I do not treat or allow any of my relations to see me in this light.I always refer them to another colleague.

I have always asked and requested my sai family that when you go to see a doctor, kindly remember that you are consulting him/her, and as such you should leave no question left behind unanswered and if the doctor wants to see you for five mins and then attempts to close the session, do not allow him the opportunity.Do not budge from your seat in front of him until you feel completely satisfied.If tests are written or asked for please ask what they are meant for and what exactly does the doctor seek by asking these tests.Ask about your preliminary medication that may be prescribed and whether you may experience any side effects from them.Do not fear any irritation on his part for if there are signs of any then he is not judging you properly.Get your tests done at any good place of your choice, not his directions for approaching a laboratory.When you get the tests done please copy the tests down on a slip of paper and ask the diagnostic laboratory to perform these. Do not reveal the name of the doctor who requested them as you will be pestered by the staff of the diagnostic lab to do so.Please mention that you are getting these tests done off your own accord and the referral doctor should indicate self viz... naming you rather than the doc you had visited.Ask for a discount, for they are already making a huge profit and part of it will be directed to the doctor you had consulted, if you mention their name.If they do not give you a discount pretend that you will be more inclined to have these tests at another reputable lab.They will cower down and give you a discount that will surprise you.

From my part, I recommend the same to every patient.An example, a coronary Ct angiogram which in Hyderabad costs approx Rs 10,000, is got done for 6500 only.You are only contributing to the doctors pension fund if you do otherwise.


Do not hesitate to take a second opinion, if you feel uncomfortable with your inital doctor.


I am writing this post so that my sai family does not fall prey to the commercialism that is unacceptable in this profession.I am not singing my glories..that is the truth.I cannot be more emphatic than that.Baba will always be there to help in every facet of your life.I am just a mere puppet in his arms.

My dear shamigal chechi,

I do not feel you suffer from psoriasis.Zincoderm and steroids are not particularly useful in Psoriasis.
You may be having some other skin condition.Could you perhaps take a picture of the affected skin area like your hands or arms and scan them and send them to my mail.I shall ask some dermatologist of good standing to have a look and proffer their opinion.My mail id should be available on the site at the left hand side. If you have any trouble please post a message right here and I shall try to help as best as Baba permits me.
Please do however remember your nobility in that you are a nurse which clearly demonstrates  the service you to render to needy people.This shows your caring and kind nature.As I had mentioned before beauty is in the eye of the beholder.Baba does not see your skin but he blesses you with his love for your innermost happiness.

DIABETES AWARENESS

A :- Luckily, I am not a diabetic yet !
B:- Are you sure ?
A:- Yes, I got my sugars checked yesterday and they were normal.
B:- That’s fine. But who knows, your sugars might be normal at the cost of excess insulin production produced by pancreas to overcome insulin resistance (IR) .
A:- So what ? My sugars are normal and that is sufficient for me.
B:- That’s okay. But, just think for a while. How long can your pancreas produce excess insulin and what happens when it gets exhausted?
A:-That’s true. Pancreas, if overburdened, after some time, gets exhausted and insulin levels go down leading to increase in blood sugars.
Now, what am I supposed to do?
B:- Don’t worry . Just think rationally. If your blood sugars are normal there are two possibilities
 Normal insulin levels are required to maintain normal blood sugar levels because there is no IR
Excess insulin levels are required to overcome IR and to maintain blood sugars
A:- Yes, I have understood this. How do I know that my pancreas is being stressed because of IR?
B:- For that you have to check your insulin levels even though your blood sugars are normal
A:- But we do not check our insulin levels routinely.
B:- That’s the point here. Though your blood sugars are normal and since you do not  know about your insulin levels, you are not aware whether your pancreas is being stressed or not.
So, adopt indirect methods
A:- What indirect methods should I adopt?
B:- You have to target IR.
If you can reduce IR, stress on pancreas will be reduced and it need not produce excess insulin.
A:- Your idea seems to be very attractive. But how can I reduce my IR?
B:- For that, you are supposed to know the cause for IR.
A:- Can you please tell me about IR?
B:- IR is a situation where in there is resistance to the insulin action at the cellular level. Research has shown that it is excess weight (Obesity) that is responsible for IR. And it is not just excess fat but it is abnormal distribution of fat that is responsible for IR. So, in general, any person who has excess visceral fat  (that fat which is present in the abdomen) than subcutaneous fat is supposed to have more IR and is at high risk for developing diabetes mellitus .(DM)
A:- You mean to say , we have to loose excess weight to reduce IR.
B:- Exactly
A:- How do I know that I am obese?
B:- Simple. There are 2 methods for that
Approximately,      Height (cm) – 100  = weight (kgs)
For females ,  height (cm) -100 x 0.9 = weight (kgs)
   2.   Body mass index (BMI)
          Weight (Kgs)
      BMI =       _____________
         Height (mt) X Height (mt)
18.5 to 25 Normal
25 to 30 Overweight
More than 30 obese

A:-That’s fine. We should maintain ideal body weight to reduce IR.
B:- Yes, but maintaining ideal body weight is not just sufficient.
A:- What do you mean?
B:- I had already told that it is not just excess fat but abnormal distribution of fat is important . So, even though you have normal weight, if you have excess visceral fat, then you might be having increased IR.
A:- Then, How do I know whether I have increased visceral fat or not?
B:- For that you should measure your waist circumference . More the waist circumference, more the IR.
A:- So what are the normal values?
B:- Normally, males should have less than 90 Cms and females should have less than 80 Cms of waist circumference.
A:- You mean to say that if we maintain our weight and waist, we can reduce IR.
B:- Exactly.
A:- Can you tell me some general tips which will help me to maintain my weight and waist ?


B:- Sure, why not
Reduce mental stress
Diet
a.   Drink adequate amount of water.
b.   Eat plenty of vegetables and fruits.

c.           Reduce the intake of Non vegetarian diet. If required, take fish, boiled eggs without yellow.
d.   Decrease rice consumption because polished rice which is available now leads to increased
             deposition of visceral fat.
e.   Avoid junk foods (Soft drinks,pizzas,burgers,cakes etc.)
f.   Avoid sweets
g.   Decrease salt, sugar and oil to as much minimum as possible.

             Exercise.
h.   Do it regularly, minimum 1 hour per day.
i.   Though brisk walking is very beneficial, in addition to that do some resistance exercises also.
j.   In case of children, allow them to play out door games for minimum of 1 hr daily.
Avoid tobacco in any form and avoid alcohol.
Give adequate rest to the body by sleeping for 6 to 8 hours daily.
All these things should be followed from childhood itself and the interesting point to note here is that these tips cost nothing. Only thing which is required here is little bit of concern towards one’s own health.
A:- Thank you for the valuable information and tips you have given and from now on I will never forget my concern towards my health.
B:- Don’t just thank me. Instead, I request you to spread this one’s own concern towards one’s own health to all the friends you know.

Respected Chettanard ji,

Thank you for your post. I have deliberately kept away as I had some issues regarding my own level of commitment and love to Baba that I had to contend with. My first series of posts regarding prevention of heart disease will start with management of cholesterol. I assure you of that. I hope it will help you and all the members of this forum.

I am one with Baba and he is one with me. His blessings and love always shower you with good health and peace.

Regards
Vishwanath

ALLOPATHY HELPLINE ------ OM SAI RAM

My Cherished Sai Family,

I am sorry for the delay but I am preparing a complete handbook like posts on the subject of heart disease. It is taking more time than I thought due to my schedule and also because I have had to try and simplify things for the lay person. I am covering right from the basic structure of the heart and then proceeding to many things that result in common aflictions of the heart.I mean this to be interactive,provided there are readers for it. I am going to go on regardless of any response. I seek your patience for a some time...two days at the most, Baba willing.

Dance and Sing to the glories of Baba. Rejoice for our master is always with us.

Vishwanath
