Todays topic for discussion:  Cerebral atrophic changes

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi:  in MRI cerebellar atrophic changes, ANA is positive, genetic testing not done

hyporeflexia ++ diagnosed by neurophysician as progressive cerebellar ataxia, More details will be available after she will consult patient again. Thnx for yr interest.

Dr. Bharat Sharma: Atrophy is not death of substance. It always has rejuvenescence!

This is what crystal clear understanding of Ayurveda! Neurology is not Vata Dosha but Also Yantradhara! Allopathy system can diagnose but not treat most diseases .....so suggestion to continue this discussion @ Tartam level!

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: True... Vata is yantra tantra dhara... Yantra dhara mean hardware/anatomical..and tantra dhara mean soft ware/physiological.... So when vata becomes dearranged , it cause anatomical as well as physiological problems.... Aadhman (abdominal flatulance) = simple form of vata disorder, Sandhivata(osteo arthritis)= little bit complex form of vata vyadhi..Neurological problems(paxaghata, ardita, aaxep)= complex form of vata vyadhi

Vd. Neha Dipam : Chatursneh basti and nasya give good result in  case, Brahmi jyotismati and aswgandha punarnava kancha bij churn with ghrit, And same drug sidhdh ghrit nasy

Minoo Parabia: Ekangveer, Samirpannag, Brahmi+kauncha+hurmalbeej+asvagandha+abha+laxadi guggulu. Also Jyitishmati with Vatsnabh and suhaga. We are using as Nervon, Neuricalm, Spondygo. Had good results in multiple sclerosis. As well as in Trigeminal Neuralgia.

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: shared MRI reports and findings

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: Its hereditory ataxia, Frideric ataxia is hereditory problem, where dorsal columan and cerebellum are affected, Karyotypy done... No consanguineous marriage. I want to know age of patient…How old is she ? And what were the age of her parents at the time of pregnancy? Is pt needed help of others in routine?

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: 24 yrs age

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: I think its confirm diagnosis of freideric ataxia

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: for Frédéric genetic testing is negative

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: Then its autoimmunity?

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: see above testing report. I have to talk with neurophysician ...bcoz 3 neurologist have seen the case and no one have put final remarks

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: SCA not detected

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: I have to read which genes r include in freideric/SCA

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: ANA positive

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: I personally beleive that there is no applicibility of such costly investigations... They have no full proof treatment of genetic problems and auto immune disorders  Ayurveda can do a lot in "Counselling of genetic problems and prevention of cytogenic disorder"

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: but its for to know our treatment outcomes...obviously genetic disease are not curable

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: We can give temporary relief...my seniors, my teachers said me that we should not do ayu treatment of DMD and other genetic problrms..but i wanted to know how much we can get result in these disorder and we worked on 7-8 pts in akhnadanand... We worked hard in panchakarma side for 1 year.. We made Majja sidhdha taila, raja yapana basti(mans ras yukata) ourselve, and used it on pts... I have reports of 2 pt..we even today get follow up from pts... Pts only got releif during therapy then there is no more releif...

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: yes...I also have same experience with genetic dis

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: In above case if there is degeration because of auto immunity than there will be good outcome. I think u should start treatment with keep autoimmune in mind

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: yes in freidrich GAA trineucliotide expansion -test is not done to confirm freidrich ataxia..so probably this is freidrich ataxia

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: As ANA is poditive

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: but ANA by immunoblot is negative

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani:  in freidrich , romberg sign is positive that indicate dorsal column involvement...dysarthria indicates cerebellar problems... And also see she would not have sense of joint position...romberg positive+dysarthria+loss of sense of joint position indicates most possibility of freiderich...

Vd. Kundan Gadhavi: yes these 3 signs r positive

Dr. Dipak Shirude: Oleation I.e. Snehan in every possible way should be on priority in such case .. The various ways for snehana can be decided according to the situation of the patient .. Yet this will not give the patient the immediate encouraging results .. He or she can be treated with param ( highest quality ) raskalpas for fastest changes .. .. . Oleation I.e.

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: Sneha saroyam purusham..Prana sneha bhuyishtha...prana sneha sadhya ...

minoo parabia: We should not be deterred by the fact that the disease is genetic.

Ancient Ayurveda didn't know anything about the genetic governance of body. It did therefore attempt many times to treat such ailments. ...like Punsavan.

I take liberty to mention about the concept of Epigenetics. It believed that the behaviour and expression of genes could be influenced through external factors.

One must therefore keep on trying.  Majjabasti, as mentioned before  be tried
