Myth & Truth

Dear Doctor, This is with reference to a query you have received from Ram Prasadh Narayanan of Coimbatore district. I could understand his agony. I would like to share my experience with the acupuncture specialist, Magi Ramalingam. I and my brother visited him a few times in 2014. During one of the visits, after examining my brother, he told me secretly that my brother has kidney disease and went on to suggest suitable diet. I was somewhat devastated. We found that he had no kidney problem. Now, I would like to ask the following questions: 1.Why do some people ‘diagnose’ wrongly and scare people and mislead patients. This is a big minus point against alternative medicine. I am totally opposed to allopathy but at the same time I am disappointed with the way acupuncture is practiced. Do you think some kind of regulation will help? 2.When some people who have been taking allopathic medicines and when they are disappointed, they seek alternative treatment like acupuncture, homeopathy etc. But by then, their bodies are very much used to the harmful allopathic medicines. As suggested and practiced by many homeopaths, it is advisable to reduce those harmful allopathic medicines gradually while taking other treatments like acupuncture, homeopathy etc Please let me know your thoughts. --By Krishnan

Like diagnosis in allopathy, in every system there is a diagnostic system; in acupuncture the diagnosis is by way of pulse reading; this diagnosis is based on energy movements in different organs such as stomach, spleen, lungs, large intestine, kidneys, urinary bladder, live, gall bladder, small intestine and heart; years before allopathy diagnoses a disease of an organ, acupuncture will diagnose it. Even today most people suffer from headache, abdominal pains and so on; but the allopathy would say seeing their reports as normal while the patient is suffering; finally when there will be serious kidney failure or a gall bladder disease. From acupuncture angle what is said by Magi may be correct or wrong - it is all the insight of the acupuncture doctor concerned.

Latest Myth & Truth
Dear Dr Rahman, I am Sundar, Male 51 years, residing at Bangaliore. Ihappen to be a diabeticfor 13 years (poor control!) with a bit of BP and cholestrol. About 2 months back i had a viral infection with joints pain all over my body. The fever went away in a few days, but the joints pain continued. I was told by my GP that this would gradually go away in a few weeks/months. Took some ayurvedic supplements (suggested by the same allopath GP) Ten days later, the joints pain subsided, but my hands and feet became numb, with pricking pain. The GP attributed this to the viral infection and advised to take mecobalamin(B12) tablets/injection, and continued with more ayurvedic supplements.(Dhanavantri & Bruhat chintamani) Meanwhile i met a neurologist for a second assessment, and went through a 'motor nerve conduction test" and was diagnosed as: 1. predominantly motor polyneuroradiculopathy (mixed type) affecting lower and upper limb nerves 2. severe bilateral median neuropathy at the level of wrist consistent with bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome The neurologist said this was mostly due to the viral infection, but could be because of poor diabetes control(fast:190, PP:300) also. he added that there was no cure, and that the body would have to heal on its own. My numbness and pain has not subsided, am now trying homeopathy for a week for a cure. would request your assessment and advice, shall be able to come to Chennai for a personal consultation Thanks and have a good day! cordially, Sundar Ramanujam --By Sundar Ramanujam
