After the treatment of modern science like Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy, a patient can take the Ayurvedic medicines very easily and safely. There is no similarity in the actions of modern medicines and Ayurvedic medicines, so there is no adverse effect. It is also been clinically and experimentally proven that if Ayurvedic medicines are taken along with modern medicines then much better results are seen. A patient without harm can consume both modern and Ayurvedic medicines which can be very beneficial to him.
Question 2
Is there a medicine for Cancer in Ayurveda?
Answer
There is no disease named as cancer in Ayurveda. Many scholars correlate it to diseases mentioned in Ayurveda like Arbud ,Granthi etc. We personally feel that none of this single entity encompasses the cancer of today. So care is needed in naming this disease. Ayurveda has clearly mentioned that every disease need not be named to treat it successfully, rather Ayurveda gives more importance to understanding the pathogenesis involved in the disease and start treatment to antagonize the pathology. This is what we are following since many years in planning treatment for cancer patients and the results are very encouraging . According to Ayurveda principles if we check, Dosh, Dhatu, Mal, Updhatu, Oaj and try to understand what change they have undergone we can plan a very successful treatment for all types of cancer patients.

Question 4
Can Cancer be cured fully?
Answer
It depends on the stage and type of the disease. There are so many types of cancer which can be cured 100%. For eg. We all know that Yuvraj Singh was suffering from cancer which was of seminoma type. This cancer can be cured fully. We cannot say that some cancers like Brain Cancer or Ovarian Cancer which are in advanced stage can be cured fully. Incase if a patient turns to Ayurvedic treatment in early stage, after chemotherapy or radiotherapy, then chances of cure is very high. Another challenge in cancer treatment is relapse or metastatis which leads to death of more than 90% of cancer patients. Ayurveda medicines keeps the patient healthy after the treatment of primary stage and also prevent him from getting secondary’s.
Question 5
Is there any strict dietary restriction while taking Ayurvedic treatment?
Answer
There is a misunderstanding in many people that there is a dietary regimen. In fact it is something else, many a times a diabetic patient is advised not to have sugar, or some patients suffering for BP are asked to consume less salt. This also is a dietary regimen, then why this question arises in Ayurveda about the dietary regimen. The important reason behind this regimen is if sugar is consumed then diabetes will increase and there will be a bad effect of this on heart, liver, hence these dietary restrictions are told in modern science.

Does Ayurvedic medicines have any adverse effects?
Answer
The medicines at Ayurveda are mostly prepared from Vanaspatis and Minerals. Very few medicines are prepared from aquatic origin and animal origin which consists of Conches and Shells. Certain minerals are also used very frequently in Ayurveda. The medicines which are prepared from these mixtures are then blended and purified which makes them absolutely safe. That’s why the more effective way the medicines are prepared, they will give better results. I would like to tell over here that we do not purchase any medicines from outside. We prepare all the medicines ourselves from bringing the basic raw material till the final product all is done in house. Hence we are very confident of these medicines as we are very vigilant of its quality control. We have treated thousands of patients with our medicines and none of our patients ever complained of any side effects and this has been proved by laboratory investigations as well.
Question 7
Instead of undergoing Chemotherapy or Radiology, is it fine to take only Ayurvedic medicines?
Answer
Many a times a patient is advised to undergo surgery, where the patient is suffering from primary stage of solid tumors. Generally after surgery patient is advised to undergo Chemotherapy. Many times the family or relatives of patients are not comfortable with Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy as they know the side effects of that. The question that whether Ayurvedic treatment is sufficient over here, is important. We have done such treatments. After starting Ayurvedic treatment, it was seen that the primary stage did not progress to secondary. The patients who had been told that they have median life or median survival or disease free survival only for 12-15 months have been alive for 5-10 years. Many of them are also alive today. Patients who have not taken Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy have also been benefited in the same way by Ayurvedic treatment. There is an assured treatment in Ayurveda for preventing the cancer to go in secondary stage and to cure cancer fully. Here I will tell you one important thing that in Ayurveda an excellent treatment called Rasayana chikitsa is advised to patients to keep cancer at bay. This chikitsa is been given since ages and it is the tradition of Ayurveda. Any disease can come back and so it our main aim to stop that. The same thing applies for cancer also. Here Rasayana treatment does not mean any chemical or Chemotherapy. By this treatment the patient’s life span increases and the body does not get affected or is least affected. Rasayana is prepared by taking into consideration the body, organs and mind of the patient. It goes to that deep level. Ayurveda Rasayana goes upto the soul and work effectively and minutely. So after surgery without taking any other treatment, the patient is benefited by Ayurveda Rasayana chikitsa only which has also been proved.
Question 8
Can one take Ayurvedic medicines / Rasayana while undergoing Chemotherapy / Radiotherapy?
Answer
This answer is perfectly yes. Till today thousands of patients have taken our medicines while undergoing Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy. Many oncologists insist on taking Ayurvedic medicines while undergoing Chemotherapy Radiotherapy. We feel proud to tell here that in England, oncologists advise there patients to go for Ayurvedic treatment while taking Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy. The reason behind this is that they have observed the good response. Patients have suffered minimum side effects or many of them have not suffered at all. Many oncologists in UK and India i.e. to say from Tata Memorial Hospital have stated this after their inspection. We feel happy to say that they advise the patients to take Ayurvedic treatment. Thousands of patients have seen to be benefited by this treatment. A scientific judgment tells that Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy kills the affected cells, along with it also kills the normal cells. As a result the disease resisting power becomes less. By Ayurvedic treatment, the normal cells become more active. The aim of our medicines is to allow the affected cells to die naturally. The action of Chemotherapy is to kill all the cells. By Ayurvedic treatment the normal cells stay alive and by Chemotherapy the affected cells are killed. Also the side effects become less. While undergoing Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy, ayurvedic treatment gives a lot of benefit.
