The following are a
few questions posted by Yoddhas on the group, and the comments received by the
other members. Please note that this is a mere collation of posts and
information discussed by the group members. We have not conducted any further
examination or investigation of this information.
1. Can Ayurvedic or Homeopathic treatment cure
cancer and tumours?
Ans: The
doctor one of our group members spoke to is a 79 year old ayurvedic vaidya who
lives in Shimoga Karnataka. The doctor's name is Vaidya Annaiah. He is said to
make his own medicines using ayurvedic raw materials. He is apparently quite
knowledgeable as far as chemotherapy and allopathy is concerned and requires
all possible diagnostic reports the patient has. His address as provided by our
Yoddha is:
Susan Villa, Near Simogga One. Shimogga City.
Another group member suggested an allegedly famous doctor for
cancer at Mcleodganj, Himachal Pradesh. His name is Dr.Yashi Dhonden.
Dr.Yeshi does not visit any place, the patient will have to visit him there
itself. It is believed he does not work In December due to unfavorable weather
conditions. According to our Yoddha, if the patient can travel, Dr.Yeshi will
see patient's report, skin and urine samples etc. Based on that he will give
medicine, which varies according to the patient’s condition. If the patient
cannot travel then he will see just the reports and urine sample. His address
was given to be; Ashoka Niwas, Jogibara Road, Mcleodganj, Dharamsala, Kangra,
Himachal Pradesh. Contact: 01892-221461, 094-59-909699
2.When is the best time to opt for alternative
treatments, such as Ayurveda and Homeopathy?
A. When all rounds of chemotherapy are completed
and there is good response from them and the person is in remission
B. When there is no response from chemotherapy/drugs
and no other viable treatments are available?
Ans: When posed with this question, majority of our Yoddhas
voted for situation A. Furthermore it was suggested that the oncologist's
opinion must be taken.
3. How to reduce the pain caused by swelling of
the hand due to IV (also known as Thrombosis, i.e formation of bold clot in the
vein.)?
Ans: It
was suggested, to apply thrombophob cream thrice a day without rubbing. Also
one can put a belt around the patient’s neck to give support to the hand. Keeping
the hand supported with the help of a sling and not laying on it when the
medicine is being given was also another advice pitched. If the pain persists,
our group members suggest using an ice pack. One of our group members had chemo
for more than a year so the Yoddha had a port/catheter inserted under the skin
on upper chest, just below the collarbone. Apparently, through the port drugs
can be injected and blood samples can be drawn many times, usually with lesser
discomfort for the patient than a more typical IV. One can check for this
option as well if the pain is due to IV. Our group members also suggest
enquiring about a Magnesium Sulphate and Glycerine dressing (also called
MAGSULF dressing) to the oncologist to help the swelling.
4. What are the best ways of dealing with the side
effects of chemo?
Ans: As per one Yoddha, chemo acidifies the body and hence it
is important to consume alkaline foods such as Coconut water and Cucumber juice
to feel better. Our group members also said that doctors generally recommend
nutrition food like Prosure to address the side effects of Chemotherapy and
improve strength.
5. Is there an NGO that provides financial support
for treatment of Tumours?
Ans: Our Yoddhas advice you to contact 'India Health Helpline':
medical projects to help members of the community. This has apparently been set
up by a Consultant,who specializes in Cancer treatment. 'India Health Helpline'
offers FREE initial medical consultations by specialist medical consultants to
people in Gujarat, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune and Mumbai. Number: (India) 18602333666.
Some Yoddhas also suggested trying the Prime Minister Relief
fund for financial aid during cancer treatment, although they suspect the
process takes lot of time.
6. Recommend good oncologists/hospitals in India
Ans: The
following suggestions came up:
-Hospitals:
1.Rajiv Gandhi hospital, Delhi
2.Gangaram hospital, New Delhi
3.Tata Memorial, Mumbai
4. Apollo Hospital, Chennai
-Doctors:
1.In Delhi, you can consult Dr Lalit in AIIMS, Dr.Randhir Sood
in Medanta who is,apparently, also visiting faculty in Harvard medical school
USA. Also at BLK,Delhi, Dr. Dharam Choudhary and Dr.Akhil Dubey (cell number
+91 98 18 857545) were recommended. At Rajiv Gandhi; Dr. Dinesh Bhurani and
at Saket City hospital; Dr. Punnet Gupta were recommended.
2. In Mumbai, Dr S.H Advani in Raheja/Sushrusha/Somaiya Hospital
was recommended.
7. Can
dietary changes/home remedy help in the fight against cancer?
Ans: Our members suggested that the following diet/mixes give
significant boosts to immunity & strength and also purportedly control cancer cells.
This is what our Yoddhas had to say:
Fundamentally, cancer cells feed on milk & sugar
products. Avoid drinking cow milk, sugar and have Soya milk.

23. Laxmi Taru leaves
24. Honey, cinnamon powder, activated vitamin and cur cumin
mix
In addition to these, it was suggested to spend 30 minutes early morning in
the sunlight every day and to avoid eating mutton.
8. Does Graviola (soursop) juice consumption, in
addition to normal medication, help cure malignancy?
Ans: It helped one of our Yoddhas but after two months or so
of consumption. It acted as a painkiller.
Another Yoddha says there is strong evidence that it helps some,
but not all types of cancer, and it helps breast cancer patients mainly.
9.In case one has to go on a liquid diet during
the course of treatment, which liquid foods can give maximum energy to a
person?
Ans: Our
Yoddha suggests simple dal water. Or dal and rice boiled in cooker and it's
water given. He says that would be high in proteins but asks to make sure it is
room temp and nothing of strong smell. That induces vomiting.
10.Reviews regarding Cannabis oil treatment. Is it
effective in fighting cancer?
Ans: One
of our Yoddhas recommends it. He says the oil is as good a sleeping tablet. The
dosage is half a grain of oil (half of a rice grain) every 6 hours depending on
the patient. He suggests starting with half grain and if the patient is feeling
too sleepy, you can increase it after a week.
Most important benefit is that this will act as pain relief and
the person will feel less pain as per this Yoddha.
Regarding improvements, he says you will know from the patient's
behaviour. Since the patient will be taken for regular checkups for CT scan and
other scans one can thus monitor the technical progress.
Our Yoddha understands that one will have to consume this for
6-8 weeks and then maintenance dose thereon and insists that this treatment
must be backed with green foods.

11.Is a white spongy structure in vomit due to
chemo a cause of worry?
Ans: One
of our Yoddhas said that you can find that kind of stuff coming
out,"chewing gum" like, on a few occasions. It MAY be due to (a)Oral
hygiene not being up to mark (b)Congestion in throat with sputum (c) Or because of some oral cavity some tablets
can stay there longer.
It can be most likely oral fungal growth getting accumulated as
per our Yoddha, which is bad and a source for aggravating some bacterial
infections. This needs to be avoided at all cost. It was suggested to clean the
mouth with (i) baking soda (ii)take some gauge and clean tongue etc. and of course not
letting mouth be dry. Few sips every half an hour if not more.
12.What
are some of the top advices that a patient fighting cancer can give?
1. Accurate DIAGNOSIS & timely
detection is the key. Please don't hesitate to ask your doctor "are these
symptoms related to any dangerous disease like Cancer?" If yes, diagnose
to rule out or confirm the same.
2. Pray to the Almighty. Prayers
give you courage. Involve your circles. Let it be a mass affair.
3. Along with modern medicines, try
alternatives as well.
One Yoddha has been using Honey +
cinnamon powder, Activated Vitamin C & Curcumin, Soursop juice, Acupressure,
Pranic Healing & affirmations etc. since detection.
4. Continue the way you are. Behave
as if nothing has changed. Your hobbies, things of interest are to be kept
abreast to the greatest extent possible.
5. Do not collect information on
cancer diagnosis, treatment etc. from unauthorized sources like the internet
& people who are less qualified or less knowledgeable in the subject.
6. Ensure that you are consulting
the best doctors available. Have faith in them. Follow their advice strictly.
7. Cancer patients are
immuno-compromised. Stay away from crowded places. Avoid visitors.
8. Avoid crystal (white) sugar.
Some researchers say that Cancer cells feed on sugar. However it should be
noted that some of our Yoddhas believe that this is a myth and sugar may
actually help patients by giving them needed calories. Please check with your
doctor.
9. Your relationships play an
important role. Maintain them.
10. Success & failure happen in
your mind. If you are determined to succeed, you will. Have faith in you &
people who support you.
Come out triumphant!
