I want to drop in a testimonial so others can benefit from my experience as I did by reading the testimonials written by others at CHARAKA. I am 33 yrs old female diagnosed with Crohn’s in 2009 which is an auto immune disease which has no cure in Allopathy, so basically the treatment is to suppress the immune system to prevent flare up. I did not like the concept of suppressing my immune system with the medication and be prone to more diseases but did not have a choice.
I was put on steroids for few weeks but as my dosage tapered my Crohn’s flared up again, so my gastroenterologist decided to put me on Humira which worked great for my Crohn’s. I was on Humira for about 18 months and my condition was pretty stable. I developed a lot of major side effects with humira like psoriasis, arthritis and boils. I consulted concerned specialists for the side effects and was recommended more medication and none of the specialists were willing to believe that Humira could cause these side effects as the same medication is used to treat them. Being a dentist I was unable to work with my arthritis, so I decided to quit my job and try Ayurvedic medication.
I did some search online and decided to go with CHARAKA after reading the testimonials and I am glad I made a good decision. I was nervous to stop Humira as my Crohn’s would flare up without medication as it has happened before, but I stopped taking Humira and was on liquid diet for 2 months until I came to India and consulted Dr. Chandrashekhar.
I was really impressed by his knowledge about the disease and his treatment approach. My Crohn’s is pretty stable for a year now with Ayurvedic medication and modified diet. I was given medication for my psoriasis and boils for 2 months and my condition completely resolved and never recurred. The specialists that I consulted in USA for psoriasis and arthritis were surprised that my condition was cured with Ayurvedic medication as they are unaware of Ayurvedic approach of treatment and were curious if Ayurvedic treatment is available in USA.
During the course of treatment I got pregnant and the dosage of the medication had to be reduced, so Dr. Chandrasekhar had adjusted my medication dosage so that my condition is stable without causing any adverse effects on my baby. He also gave me medication to support my pregnancy as I had Incompetent cervix and was on complete bed rest. I am blessed with a healthy baby girl.
I feel that Dr. Chandrasekhar recommends appropriate and necessary treatment for the patient rather than treatment to make money as some of the doctors do.
Dr.Chandrasekhar is very patient, listens to your concerns and attends to our problems with utmost care. He is always available on phone to answer your concerns. The professional and empathetic approach of the doctor is commendable.
I thank Dr. Chandrasekhar from the bottom of my heart for helping me regain my health and would definitely recommend him to anyone. I feel he is one of the best doctors I have ever met.
My parents also underwent treatment at CHARAKA for sciatica and were pleased with the doctor and staff.
