ALLOPATHIC BACK GROUND “ON CHOLERA”

  1. The cholera is due to BACTERIAL INFECTION = caused by the ‘VIBRIO CHOLERA’ GRAM – VEROD, actively MOTILE and has got polar flagellum. They are non-sporogenous and non-encapsulated ROBERT KOCH DISCOVERED IT IN CHOLERA EPIDEMIC in egypt in the year 1883.  But they have been observed b y others like PACINI in 1854.

  2. At present there is no 100% effective vaccine.

  3. There is a need of ALTERNATIVE SYSTEM OF TREATMENT RESEARCH POINT OF VIEW INTERESTING DISCUSSION : LOT OF SCOPE FOR EXPERIMENTAL SCIENTISTS TO EVALUATE NEW MODES OF ADMINISTRATION OF DRUGS IN SERIOUS CHOLERA LIKE EPIDEMICS.  READERS ARE REQUESTED TO READ THIS BRIEF DISCUSSION,

  4. If oral, intravenous fluids and electrolytes and symptomatic treatment with nutritional support is not given with iv Antibiotics also the CHOLERA IS FATAL IN NO TIME

  5. Please note SALTS OF FIVE VARIETIES ARE INCORPORATED in AYURHERBAL REMEDIES.

  6. Administration of butter milk orally in plenty was also advised.

  7. But most CONTROVERSIAL POINT IS ADVISE TO GIVE EMETICS to cholera patient appears  to all Allopathy as a FATAL STEP. YES. Because we do not know AYURVEDA; & what we know we feel as absolutely correct after that.
  8. There are shown remedies which OUGHT TO BE GIVEN INTRANASALLY AND INSTILLATION IN TO EYES WHICH NEEDS RESEARCH.
  9. As by above nasal; through eyes in minute quantities how Ayur formulae work in a fatal RAPIDLY REHYDRATING DISEASE LIKE CHOLERANEEDS RESEARCH.

  10. NOW FOR US ORS packets are available, can we administer jointly with AYURDRUGS is a mater to be decided by EXPERTS IN BOTH SYSTEMS OF MEDICINE.

  11. We have to give a serious thought in VAST LOCAL REGIONAL EPIDEMICS OF CHOLERA CAN AS AN EXCEPTIONAL CASE CAN WE USE HER BO MINERAL COMPOUNDS ? IS A POLICY MATTER left to concerned Authorities.

  12. Trans nasal; trans ocular routes to treat cholera like epidemics is LEFT TO SCIENTISTS RESEARCH

MY OWN ANALYSIS OF ABOVE METHODS IN ANCIENT TIMES IN THOSE TIMES REMEMBER NO IV FLUIDS; ANTIBIOTICS ORS PACKETS / BOTTLES WERE NOT THERE EVEN THEN TREATED

  1. Probably emetics were given in INTIAL stages of cholera in ancient times to evacuate contaminated food or liquids existed initially BECAUSE ANCIENT PHYSICIANS VERY WELL KNEW CHOLERA CAN COME BY CONSUMING UGLY WATER, including bathing in UNCLEAN PONDS; TANKS ETC.
  2. So finding fault with Ayurveda is not justified.
  3. About administering TRANSNASAL, TRANS OCULAR ROUTES ANTI CHOLERA REMEDIES may be justified
  4.  in those patients who are unconscious, in coma (Ryle’s tube feeding not there in those times)
  5. Very young infants who may vomit due to bottle (bad) taste of Ayur Medicines.
  6. About burning the skin in particular areas with a round metal usually iron in Ayurvda called “RAKSHA KARMA” = is, as we all agree is a very harsh method which greatly pains the patient NOT ADVISED AT PRESENT.
  7. BUT THAT CONTROL MAY BE THE last resort when no medicine is available, patient in deep cama; etc.

HOW “RAKSHA KARAMA” WORKS ? is a highly interesting point which NEEDS IMMEDIATE RESEARCH.

  1. Once The Application  of ‘burning Heat’ application cures adisease established by modern research WE CAN INSTEAD OF BURNING apply LASER HEAT OR SOME OTHER SOURCE OF HEAT JUST FALLING SHORT OF ACTUAL BURNS.
  2. BASICALLY applying burn Heat how it cures a disease NEEDS INTENSE RESEARCH.
  3. INSTEAD OF REJECTING IT AS OUT DATED better our research scholars study this ‘THERAPEUTIC APPROACH” by doing experimental studies.
  4. Not only here in cholera in ‘Jaundice’ comes and other acute and chronic disease in villages in India this type of “RAKSHA KARMAS” are still prevalent in my rural practice I come across such cases even as on to day.
