Can alternate treatments like Ayurveda, homeopathy cure diseases incurable by allopathy?

Question

Because people say that they have been cured of dangerous diseases by these alternate systems of medicines whereas allopathy says that there is no permanent cure is possible for certain diseases like diabetes and with medication, they can be under control.

Answer 1

Being an Ayurveda doctor in India, I can tell you more specific about ayurveda treatments. Even in the texts of ayurveda, several conditions are described as 'Not curable', which we find today the same. Some conditions are under category of 'Controllable by life style, medicines and diet pattern' and many of our health problems are in 'Curable' group. Ayurveda is not a science of only medicine. It is a science of Life style, which includes dietetics. So your question is very difficult to answer in yes or no. In several cases, where modern medicine has limitation, we have worked with ayurveda medicines, herbs, life style suggestions and changes in diet pattern, and it has worked effectively. If you ask for specific health problem, you will get perfect answer. Thank you. Dr. Prerak Shah, www.ayulink.com

It really depends on who you ask.

If you ask a biased allopath, the answer will be an authoritative resounding NO.

If you ask someone that works in one of these fields, the answer will generally be a yes.

As a result, you can't really depend on any party giving you reliable information, and your best shot is to just trust first hand experience (which is also why so many people now swear by alternative therapies).

For give or take every medical condition, multiple ways to cure it exist, so in many ways it's just a question of picking what's pragmatic for your case.

I tend to avoid western therapies since they cost more and are much more damaging/invasive (and prone to secondary complications).  The argument is also given that it is not designed to work with chronic disease (which is in many ways true).

As far as the specific methods go; I don't know very much about ayerveda, and I'm not a huge fan of it, homeopathy really seems to vary depending on how well the homeopath diagnoses the patient (but if that hurdle is cleared homeopathy gets amazing results), and Chinese medicine at this point in time is still greatly ahead of western medicine, especially in regards to musculoskeletal problems (where the standard remedy is surgery....that doesn't really work).

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

i remember reading a book on the history of Homeopathy. During a plague ( don't remember where or when) while people were dying left and right, many more people who were treated with Homeopathy survived.

Ithink that youi need to try and see what works for you. Western medicine seemas to prescribe and biucnh of c**p whereas Ayurveda, Daoist Medicine , Folk Medicine and Naturopathy prescribe changes in your life, such as drink more water, exercise, use dry sauna's , fast, eat certain foods, meditate, relax, cut out negative influences, take certain natural medicines, which when unioslated may have synergestic effects with other lesser know chemical and stuff within the roots leading to a better effect or curing ability. As for completly curing some diseases this is a case by case thing and some people will need to make drastic changes in lifestyle as well as use what is available from western medicine, in my opiniopn they should be one medicine and what doesn't work in western medicine shoud be erased and  vice versa. Many disease that are food related are very curable and even better is to prevent them by living the Ayurveda lifestyle. "Diseases" such as obesity, cholesterol problem, gout and stuff like that.

Answer 5

Yes and Classical acupuncture treatment is also possible for above said diseases without medicines

Answer 6

There were great doctors in Ayurveda here in Kerala and there still are. Some 10 years back I knew a doctor(Vydhiar is what we call them) who could cure fractures without even looking at an X-ray. He'll get the picture as soon as he looks at the broken part and feeling it. Its a bit painful but it heals the fracture and it won't break from where it was healed. A few days massage with medicated oils and u'll be perfectly allright as before. Allopathy gives medicine for the disease and not for the patient whereas Ayurveda treats the patient to recover from the disease. There r Lots of Ayurvedic hospitals in Kerala. u can contact Dr. Rose Mary and enquire about your disease. No: 0091 480 2778060.
