Veg or Non-Veg. Which is the best for Good Health?? - A Crazy topic

     An interesting fact is that Veg diet causes "Inadequacy" and Non-veg diet causes "Hazards".
Significant studies carried out on people of both diets is as follows:

Inadequacy of Veg diet:

Veggies are more prone to - 
1. Iron Deficiency Anaemia
2. Zinc Deficiency
3. Vitamin B12 Deficiency
Hello .. But you need not jump into non-veg diet before studying full article. 


Non-Veggies are more prone to-

1. Having short lifespan, Having chronic diseases.
2. Having more heart diseases, Diabetes, Hypertension.
3. Predominantly their tongue can't eat fruits and vegetables recommended.


So, Now doubt is which is the best?? !
On looking at current trend, irrespective of their religions and cultures, both are consuming different variety of foods with excessive Salt , Baked foods, Fried foods. 
So, both veg and non-veg diets are killing us with excessive use of refined foods and cholesterol devoid of natural & healthy nutrients. And now this has become an "Universal Problem".


SOLUTION to the problem :

       To beat the inadequacy of Veg diet, one must choose food from different groups of fruits and vegetables rich in B 12, Iron and Zinc forming balanced diet maintaining health with adequate diet choosing right quality and quantity Avoiding fibre less, chemical containing, non-veg food. with a motive of 
" FRESH IS BETTER" rather than Fries are tasty.

He is the best physician who prevents diseases in the people around him or in the world rather than who treats the diseases which are already prevailed in subjects. I strongly believe in this motto.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis (LSS)

Hai. I'm treating a case of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis in my clinic. Apart from my study i gathered few points from different sources and compiled this post. Please go through it once.Hope this information helps you a lot.

Q.What is lumbar spinal stenosis?

A.  A degenerative medical condition in which the spinal canal is narrowed and presses spinal cord at the level of lumbar vertebra.

Q.How it starts?

A. It starts gradually and develops over a long period of time. 

Q.What are the causes?

A.It may be congenital or acquired through trauma or surgery, local infection, spinal disc herniation, tumour, old age are the causes.

Q.What are the symptoms and signs?

A. Low back ache, pain, cramps, weakness, fatigue, discomfort in calves, thighs, buttocks, legs ,feet , sometimes loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness and pain along posterior part of leg. Mostly bilateral may be unilateral also. 

One most important symptoms is "Limping" or "pseudo claudication" where pain felt only while standing or walking certain distance and ceases while resting. Flexion of waist gives pain relief as the spinal canal space increases on flexion of waist.

Q. What is the differential diagnosis in this case?

A.Similar symptoms are seen in Peripheral Artery Disease(PAD), but pain is not relieved by bending forward and bicycle test is done to distinguish this. Pedaling on a stationary bicycle causes pain, but on bending forward if there's no pain felt, then it is LSS. In PAD there is blockage of artery causing similar symptoms distinguished by Bicycle test or Color Doppler Test.

Q.What are the tests that diagnos LSS?

A. X-ray often is not useful in some cases and requires CT or MRI of lumbar spine, Color doppler test usually diagnoses the condition.

Q. What are remedies in Homoeo for lumbar stenosis?

A. Arnica, Gnaphalium, Agaricus, Ruta, Macroinum, Kali iod, Belladonna, Tellurium are few among many remedies which works well.

Q.Is it curable through medicines or surgery is must?

A.Surgery is unavoidable as damage to the spinal nerves causes more other complications. 

Medication , Home Exercises, Physiotherapy, Spinal injections are useful.

Tips for cool Summer!

1. Protect yourself from sun and avoid direct exposure for long time.

2. Drink more water. 

3. Drink juices like sugarcane juice,  pudina juice, citrus fruit juices, coconut water, Butter milk, Lassi etc rather than cooldrinks like thums up, pepsi, fanta etc.

4. Eat fruits like melons(both musk and water melon), guawas, citrus fruits like oranges, grapes etc.

5. If you are exposed to sun for longtime then take water with Glucose or Electral powder or lemon with salt after coming home. 

6. Avoid sudden shift from Air conditioned rooms to hot sunlight frequently which causes sunstroke and sun headache.

7. Use sunscreen lotions before entering into sun to avoid dark pigmentation of skin.

8. Wear scarf to protect your skin from sun and cap, dark sun glasses to protect your head, face and eyes respectively.

9. Avoid taking juices with ice as most of the ice depots are preparing it from unhygienic water.

10. Keep your room atmosphere cool using wet clothes hanged to windows. 


Homoeopathic point of view:


1. Take a dose of Glonoine 200 before entering into sun to avoid sunstroke.
2. Also can take sabal serrulata mother tincture 10 drops in half cup of water once a day to beat body heat in summer.
3. For furthur complaints and suggestions consult your doctor.
                                                


                    Have A Happy Summer

Hello. Check out this information on Swine Flu:

Homeopathy was very successful in dealing with the 1918-19 flu pandemic. Here is a quote from the famous historian Julian Winston:Perhaps the most recent use of homeopathy in a major epidemic was during the Influenza Pandemic of 1918. The Journal of the American Institute for Homeopathy, May, 1921, had a long article about the use of homeopathy in the flu epidemic. Dr. T A McCann, from Dayton, Ohio, reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%. This last figure was supported by Dean W.A. Pearson of Philadelphia (Hahnemann College) who collected 26,795 cases of flu treated with homeopathy with the above result.
