(SLIP DISC / SCIATICA patient)

Mrs. Meena, Australia, 29-01-2017

I have been suffering from spondylitis and sciatic pains for a very long time. Most recently the base of the neck got swollen and there was severe pain from my neck downwards into my spine and extending to the left side of my body. I also had severe back pain and twitching in my legs. I felt numbness in my arms and fingers. The doctors in Melbourne diagnosed this as Osteoarthritis and prescribed strong pain killers to manage the pain. However, the pain persisted and could only be controlled with Morphine. Obviously, these medicines had very strong side effects.

I visited Hyderabad and decided to undergo Ayurvedic treatment. My son found this clinic on Google and found it had very good reviews. I met Dr Chandrashekar and discussed my problems. The doctor gave me some pills and oil to apply and recommended that I undergo 45 days of Panchakarma treatment. After the treatment, the spinal pain, back pain and numbness in my arms and legs vanished. My left arm which had restricted movement, was also cured, so that I now have full movement.

The doctor and the staff were very professional and provided excellent treatment. I highly recommend the clinic.

I have seen a miracle with treatment at Charaka. I want to share my experience below.

“My Dad suffered with ‘Lumbar Canal Stenosis’ or ‘disk bulge’ at four sections on spinal cord. We have taken three opinions at three different hospitals. The only option left for us is go for a surgery to ensure the issue does not deteriorate further.

My dad’s age and complete recovery for this issue were holding me back from going for a surgery. Before giving a commitment for surgery, I checked Internet for options to fix this issue without surgery. I found Charaka.

It took 45 days for the treatment to complete. A person who was half bend while walking with severe pain in the abdomen area and frequent gastric trouble is now walking & sleeping straight with no pain or gastric trouble.

It is a recovery of more than 90% without operation or steroids. It is a miracle indeed. Thank God for Charaka. My heart felt gratitude to Dr.ChandrasHekhar and the entire staff. God bless.”

(ROSAI–DORFMAN DISEASE patient)

Mr. G. P. Rao, Hyderabad, Telangana, 27-07-2016

Is there any medicine for Rosai Dorfmans disease(auto immune disease)? No. Not at all. But a miracle happened in Charaka Ayurveda. Here is the success story.

My wife smt.Padmaja was suffering from complete blockage of nose since January 2011. We approached ENT specialist in KIMS. Doctor has suggested to undergo surgery for sinusitis. Thinking that it may reoccur she started taking Homeo medicine. For sometime there was relief, but in August 2012 she suffered from high fever and a small lymph node started growing on the neck. Temperature came down after taking Antibiotics, but the lymph node started enlarging with no pain. By February 2013 problem became severe with 5- 6 enlarged Lymph nodes on the neck. She could not breath without nasal drops at least two times a day.

We approached ENT specialist in KIMS again in February 2013. Suspecting Cancer biopsy was done. But surprisingly that was not cancer and was diagnosed as Rosai-Dorfman’s disease ,a very rare Auto immune disorder. There is no established medicine till now we were told. Then we consulted ENT specialist in CARE Hospital. In May 2014 CTScan was done again and the readings were shocking. Para nasal sinuses were completely filled with mass and the mass growing around the orbit of eye pushed it 4mm. Then endoscopic surgery was done to remove mass from para nasal sinuses. He could not approach orbit as there was a risk involved for loss of sight. He suggested us to consult Doctors in L.V.Prasad Eye Institute. There a Dr specialist in Occuloplastics prescribed High doses of Cortico steroids(500ml every 21st day in 6 cycles). After treatment CT scan was done and there was only 10 percent improvement. He suggested her to try immuno suppressant medicine.

At this time on the suggestion of our well wishers we approached Charaka Ayurveda that is in March 2015. Initially we were hesitating to start treatment. But we did not have any other option she started taking medicine. Up to August 2015 swelling on the neck remained same. From August 2015 size of the lymph nodes started decreasing. So we continued the treatment. By April 2016 ,90percent of the size decreased. Now all the doctors we approached earlier are telling that a miracle happened. She is able to breath normally and there is no swelling on the neck now. I am very thankful to Dr. Chandrashekhar who treated my wife. Thank you very much.

Jai Ayurveda our own ancient form of medicine!!!

(PARKINSON’S DISEASE patient)

Mr. B. Rao, Hyderabad, Telangana, 08-06-2016

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease Stage-1 (in Allopathy). The major external symptoms at that time were: tremors in one hand, stiffness of most of the muscles of that hand and cog-wheel movement of the joints of the hand.

As other streams of medicine mostly have only palliative approach to this condition, I chose to go for a holistic treatment. Ayurveda utilizes the best holistic approach to the treatment of Parkinson’s Disease where the external symptoms are addressed by treating and rejuvenating the internal systems of the body and the brain.

So, I immediately visited “Charaka Institute of Panchakarma and Research” for a detailed diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of my condition. I was treated for 50 days. Various required treatments and procedures were utilized in the process.

Dr.Chandrasekhar, the chief Vaidya has done wonderful diagnosis and prescribed and executed remarkable treatment. He is assisted by a group of very efficient therapists (who are all trained in Kerala system of Panchakarma, Kaya-kalpa-chikitsa etc.).

There was a gradual improvement in my external symptoms: the stiffness of muscles of the hand is gone — all the muscles of the hand got back their tone and became supple. Soreness in the joints of the fingers, wrist and shoulder reduced considerably and almost total flexibility returned. There is a marked reduction in the tremors both in the frequency of their episodes as well as in the amplitude of each episode.

In Ayurveda, since food is also considered as medicine, there are some restrictions on the food that I am supposed to take. I have been following all these instructions strictly and taking all the prescribed medicines systematically. A follow up checkup is scheduled after a month and more reviews might be taken in future.

In summary, I went for this therapy as Ayurveda gives time-tested improvement for Parkinson’s patients. I am very happy with my selection of “Charaka Institute of Panchakarma and Research” as the place of treatment.

(PSORIASIS patient)

Mr. Rao, Hyderabad, Telangana, 11-04-2016

On my left ankle a patch of psoriasis appeared in the beginning of 2013. First I consulted a dermatologist who said the cure would be a long process and the medicines may give some side effects. Scared of side effects, I tried with Homeopathy without any success.

Then I decided to have treatment with Ayurveda and consulted Dr.M.Chandra Shekhar of Charaka (The Speciality Ayurveda and Institute of Panchakarma & Research) in July 2013. Dr.Chandra Shekhar assured me that the psoriasis would be cured with Ayurveda medicines without any side effects and started the treatment from July 2013, with some simple food restrictions during the treatment. I had a regular treatment from July 2013 to October 2015 from Dr.Chandra Shekhar and after that the patch of psoriasis on my ankle completely disappeared.

I am thankful to Dr.Chandra Shekhar for his wonderful treatment and also I appreciate his assuring and humane approach towards me during the treatment.

(ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS patient)

Mr. Aditya, Hyderabad, Telangana, 19-03-2016

I have had AS (HLA B27+) for 22 years now. I am diagnosed when I was 10 and right now am 32. My Rheumatologist put me on NSAIDs (sulfasalazine) and as I grew, the disease took a toll on me and the dosage has been gradually increased and there came a saturation point where even pain killers weren’t helping me. I was then put on modern expensive biologic -Enbrel and literally survived on it for close to 8 years. Over the years the disease affected my ankles, knees, hip, neck, shoulder, lower back, spine and not to forget the unbearable butt pain. There were days where I literally used to cry all alone unable to bear the pain and have had countless sleepless nights. The only saving grace was that none of the joints got fused as I tried maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle throughout. Swimming helped me big time.

I got to know about Charaka and Dr. Chandrasekhar through a friend and colleague of mine who himself got cured of Rheumatic Arthritis and I visited him in Oct’2015. I was never a firm believer of Ayurveda having tried allopathy for 22 years, homeopathy for 3 years and also naturopathy. Initially, I was apprehensive to try the Ayurveda regime – treatment and the diet having had a prior bad experience with naturopathy. But all my thoughts were brushed aside within a few days I started the treatment.

Chandrasekhar sir is very approachable, patient enough to hear all what I had to say and gave me enough belief that my life is going to change for good. He has such a wonderful team of trained therapists who made me feel at home during the course of the treatment. And I’ve been 100% true to prescribed diet since I started my treatment at Charaka and have undergone about 110 days of Panchakarma treatment.

At this point I am off of biologics for 5 months now – never before in my last 8 years and I am about 85-90% symptom free except for manageable neck and hip pain. It’s been 2 months since I completed Panchakarma process and I feel that I am in the right path of symptomatic cure.

It is with deep sense of gratitude I thank Chandrasekhar sir and would strongly recommend Charaka to all those ailing from chronic diseases. Thank you Charaka!!!”

(SLIP DISC / SCIATICA patient)

Mr. Kumar, USA, 13-03-2016

My condition before treatment: I had a back pain which became severe after lifting some weights, I had pain in lower back as well as sciatica pain radiating in to my left leg and right shoulder. Dr Chandrashekhar did an accurate diagnosis and later MRI scan also confirmed a fairly large disc protrusion at l4-l5.

During Treatment: I had a 45 day Panchakarma treatment and medication. Dr monitored my progress and changed the medication accordingly throughout the treatment. After 2 weeks my pain reduced by about 20-30%, by 4th week I was better by 50%, I noticed a very good progress in 5th, 6th week of the treatment where I got 80 – 90% better and I could also sit comfortably without sciatica pain my leg.

After treatment: Two weeks after the treatment I am feeling 90% better and I feel confident about further improvement.

Overall Experience: I thank God for leading me to Charaka, I want to thank Dr. Chandrashekar for the treatment and I greatly appreciate his commitment towards improving the health of his patients. Also I want to thank the therapists and staff at Charaka every one were very helpful and committed. The facility is very clean and well maintained, all the oils and medication used during the treatment are of best quality.

Thanks

(RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS patient)

Mrs. Neha, Secunderabad, 02-12-2015

I have been suffering from Arthritis since one year. At first I took Allopathy medicines but they were only pain killers. So only temporary pain relief. But then I came to know about Dr Chandrashekhar and I started treatment.

Firstly I went through Snehapan kriya. After this (Vaman) treatment 50% of my pains were gone. Later I went through Panchakarma treatment with following proper diet and the results are amazing. All pains got minimized.

Overall 95% of pain relief. I am feeling much better now. Moreover I reduced my weight also to much extent.

Thank you Sir and the team of Charaka

(ULCERATIVE COLITIS patient)

Mr. Arun Kumar, Tamilnadu, 09-10-2015

Sinnce 13.08.13 I had treatment in CHARAKA for Ulcerative Colitis. I was suffering from this disease for almost 4 years. Before coming to CHARAKA, I was having English (Allopathy) medicines for about 2 years. But English medicines are very heavy dosage and temporary curing.

The symptoms I had are

1. Stools with blood
2. Heavy pain in stomach
3. Frequent burping
4. Sometime vomiting sensation

After starting medicines in CHARAKA, I got some improvement in my health and in two years almost 95% of symptoms are reduced and I am feeling very good.

In my opinion CHARAKA is best place for getting treatment for these type of disease.
