Gary Yuen: What is the cause? Looking at modern medicine, it is diet. Excess of animal products. So far foods studied to reduce risk: garlic onion dal flax seed. Flax has secondary names uma and himavat, denoting ancient importance. Carakai think notes it can affect visuon, meaning heavy? If it is a question of immunity and ojas, and shows similarities with cancer, treatment is like for ojas : dal, yava, maybe gavedukha, brassicas at least according to modern medicine. Cauliflower and radish, but classical black mustard and moringa are stronger. Garlic onion.Rasayanas. Etc. Every topic discussed is easily treated with classical diet.

Vd. Pankaj Chhayani: In AstodariyaAdhyaya(where classification of rogas is given), Mutraghata classified in 8 numbers. So according to Charaka, Mutraghata are 8. According to susrutaMutraghata are 12.
