A Medical Innovation in an era of Innovations

Ayurveda, ‘The Science of Life’, has a divine origin. Over the ages, Sages have divined the medicinal properties of herbs and matter and have postulated compounds, with formularies that have stood the test of time, for various ailments of mankind. Now, in this era of Innovations, a ‘Regime’ of ayurvedic compounds, has been found, which has demonstrated clinical effects, which are not mentioned, in the known actions or uses, of these medical compounds. So, one has to conclude, that this is a ‘divine’ dispensation to alleviate the suffering of those individuals, in whom during development, nature has gone awry. This regime’s notable aspect is that there have been neither deteriorations nor maintenance of status quo, during therapy. In other words, all have shown improvement, albeit at different rates, depending on their fitness and individual physical constitution.

There has been no report in the annals of medical history, wherein, cavitation has taken place in uterus/uterine nodule. This regime has shown not only development of cavity within uterus/uterine nodule but also, formation of cavity in a case of agenesis of upper vagina, from below, upwards. Moreover, lining shedding (menstruation), in women with primary amenorrhoea of anatomic origin, has also taken place.. Hence, this is indeed a pioneering achievement, which needs further scientific evaluation.

One has to approach, in two ways, the solution of this problem. One must continue clinical therapy with the medical compounds used in this regime and simultaneously analyse the ingredients of these formularies. Now, one must stress on the special feature of ayurvedic medicine. There are many compounds in Ayurveda with the same name but with diffeent formularies. Hence, one must make certain, to use only compounds with formularies, mentioned in the regime. In the regime, mention is made of the name of the compound, the chapter and book in which the formulary is given, so that, analysis of results will be reliable. The methodology has to be strictly adhered to, during therapy. This will increase our overall results and spread faith in the regime.

Analyses of compounds, on the other hand, is a long drawn out process, needing tenacity and luck. The phase of the regime, when cavity was noted, would naturally be the first step (since cavity creation is the crux of the innovation). The compounds of this phase have to be studied in detail.

Correction of Mullerian Dysgenesis studied under the following outcomes.

A.     Deterioration.                            Nil.

B.     No  Change.                                 Nil.

C.     Gowth – 1 D.                               Progressive.

D.    Growth – 2 D.                              Ditto.

E.     Growth – 3 D.                              Ditto.

F.     Cavity (alone).                            3 cases.

G.     Cavity & Lining.                          All cases.

H.    Menarche.                                     3 cases.

I.       Pregnancy                                     Nil.

Next, Phase-wise response must be studied. It is given below:

Phase – 1      2  cases.

                2      2  cases. 

                3      4  cases. 

                4      1  case.

                5      1  case.

                6      Nil.

                7      2  cases.

                8      5  cases.

N.B.: The cavity formation is spread over many phases and denotes that the constitution of the individual does play a part. (In ayurveda, constitution or prakrithi, is an important factor in therapy).

Phases and Durations. (of Regime).

(1) 4 months.

(2) 4 months.

(3) 8 months.

(4) 3 months.

(5) 3 months.

(6) 6 months.

(7) 6 months.

(8) 6 months.

NB: All cases have responded. [If any case had not responded at all, the case would have been reviewed and re-assessed and appropriate compounds (as per constitution) given].

At this juncture, one would like to remind the reader that there is a pre-ordained method of development of organs in nature and this ensures that when a stimulus is given, to resume growth, the pattern followed, would be that, of the ordained one. (This point would be substantiated, when review lap is performed, after correction is achieved). In other words, fusion of bilateral nodules or of nodules seen during the first lap would take place on correction. It stands to reason, that this fusion would be by migration of nodules along the mullerian tract to form a single uterus. (In one case, fusion of nodules – one middle and bilateral nodules fused to form a uterus with cavity and lining).

When one phase is over, the next phase medicines given, for duration, dependent on the phase.  When a scan showed increase in any dimension by 0.5 centimeters or more, it is regarded as progress (indicative of suitability of constitution, to the compounds) and the next phase of the regime brought forward (to enhance the changes).
