Take up pilot project on Ayurveda treatment: MLA Ramdas

August 29, 2022

Mysore/Mysuru: Studies conducted across the world have found that several traditional medicines commonly used in India as part of Ayurveda are effective in maintaining blood sugar levels in patients with Type 2 diabetes.

Ayurveda is a traditional medical system that has been used for thousands of years in India and some of the herbs included are also used in other parts of the world. In this direction, a systematic project must be developed to treat diabetes, suggested MLA S.A. Ramdas. The suggestion was accepted by Ayurveda practitioners and experts in the field.

The MLA was speaking after inaugurating a free Ayurvedic treatment camp organised at the Sri Ganapathy Ashram on Nanjangud Road yesterday. The camp was organised inside the auditorium of Lakshminarasimha Kuteera of the Ashram by the Government Ayurvedic Research Centre and Ayurveda Academy of Chamarajpet in Bengaluru.

Ramdas suggested the doctors and officers launch a pilot project in a particular locality or a Ward and assured of making all facilities on behalf of the Government. He said that the project can be taken up on Sept. 17, the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for one year to achieve tangible results for the target population, he suggested.

Modern diabetes drugs are known for side effects and toxicity while Ayurveda works by controlling blood sugar and limiting the harmful effects of other drugs. Turmeric, for example, has been used for the treatment of diabetes in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine, he added.

He said new Ayurvedic remedies were still in great demand for treating diabetes because of the limited efficacy and undesirable side effects of current drugs. A multi-pronged and individualised approach must be used to manage health conditions such as lifestyle modification, Ayurvedic detoxifying and purifying therapies and Ayurvedic medicines containing plant, animal, or mineral-origin ingredients, he added.

University of Mysore Vice-Chancellor Prof. G. Hemantha Kumar, Assistant Director of Government Ayurvedic Research Centre Dr. Lakshminarayana Shenoy, Joint Secretary of Ayurveda Academy Dr. Prashanth Ghokale, Junior pontiff of Ganapathy Ashram Datta Vijayananda Theertha Swamiji and others were present.

During the meeting, representatives of all participating states and Union territories presented detailed presentations on the state of Ayush and progress of leading Ayush programmes under implementation.

Speaking on the occasion, Sonowal said, "Our rich heritage and potential of traditional form of medicine has withstood the test of time in generations of humanity to live a better, healthier and happier life. We must take full advantage of this generous forms of medicine - be it Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Yoga, Naturopathy, Sowa Rigpa, or Homoeopathy."

He also said that under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the government has been working towards scientifically integrating traditional forms of medicine with the modern medicine.

Long Covid cure? Researchers to trial traditional Indian herb treatment

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine will work with the All India Institute of Ayurveda to determine whether a traditional Indian herb can help people recover from long Covid.

Ashwagandha, commonly known as Indian winter cherry, is traditionally used in the Indian Ayurvedic system of medicine to boost energy, reduce stress and strengthen the immune system.

Experts said recent trials had proven the herb’s efficacy in reducing anxiety, stress, improving muscle strength and reducing fatigue symptoms in patients with chronic diseases.

Long Covid patients can suffer from cognitive dysfunction, poor mental health, extreme fatigue and muscle weakness.

It is estimated these symptoms affect 10 to 20 per cent of Covid survivors and can last for one to three months or longer in many cases.

The study, funded by the Ministry of Ayush of the Government of India, will include a double-blind clinical trial involving 2,000 people living in the UK with long Covid.

Half of the trial participants will take 500mg Ashwagandha tablets twice a day for three months, while the other half will be given a placebo.

Researchers will randomly select participants to have a monthly follow-up of self-reported quality of life, impairment to activities of daily living, mental and physical health symptoms, supplement use and adverse events.

The study is expected to last for over a year.

“Ashwagandha has been shown to reduce symptoms of other conditions that are similar to those of long Covid, so we are hopeful that it will be an effective way to combat the condition,” said Sanjay Kinra, professor in clinical epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine.

The research is also supported by the UK’s All-Party Parliamentary Group on Indian Traditional Sciences and the Traditional Complementary and Integrative Medicine Unit at the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Research is the only way to ensure appropriate integration of traditional medicine knowledge into mainstream medical practice,” said technical officer at WHO Geneva, Geetha Krishnan, who helped to facilitate the research project.

Long term diabetes is nearing the edge of dialysis!
Chinese and Western Medicine Helps Sixteen Girls Stay Out of Crisis
Share:
A 68-year-old woman surnamed Li has been suffering from diabetes for 20 years. At a follow-up visit, a blood sample report found that the glomerular filtration rate was 8 points, which is the fifth stage of chronic kidney disease near the edge of dialysis.
The woman surnamed Li went to the hospital for Chinese and Western medical treatment, and within one year, the glomerular filtration rate was increased, and the blood potassium was stable at 4.0, avoiding the life troubles and pain caused by dialysis.
Diabetes May Raise Risk of Kidney Disease Death
Liao Yuan-jing, a doctor in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine affiliated with the Chinese Medicine University, pointed out that from Ms. Li's case, patients with long-term diabetes need to pay special attention to the risk of kidney disease.
In addition to kidney disease, diabetes is also the main reason for kidney patients to receive hemodialysis. If the glomerular filtration rate is reduced, the mortality rate has increased.
Wu Meiyao, a doctor at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, stressed that the risk factors for cardiovascular disease include gender, high blood pressure, diabetes, and high blood lipids.
With age, the incidence of cardiovascular events will also increase, of which chronic kidney disease itself is an important independent factor, as the severity of chronic kidney disease increases, the rate of glomerular filtration decreases, and the risk of cardiovascular events increases significantly.
Combination of Chinese and Western Medicine to Enhance Care and Reduce Cardiovascular Mortality
Ms. Li has high blood pressure of 169 / 80, poor appetite, low blood sodium 132, high blood potassium 5.4.
Through Liao Yuan-ching and Wu Mei-yao ’ s use of the “National Health Insurance Chinese Medicine Chronic Kidney Disease Outpatient Care Plan ” and the western medical method of the nephrologist Zhang Yu-Rui Outpatient Clinic, patients are treated.
Western Medical Law:
Chang Yu-jui explains that the conventional treatment of Western medicine includes drugs such as lowering blood sugar and cholesterol, and with diet and traditional Chinese medicine treatment, Li's blood sugar, blood lipids and electrolytes have become more and more advanced in the past two years, and his mental and physical strength has also become better.
Medical Law:
According to the research data published in the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine (JTCM) in 20072016, in addition to the conventional treatment of Western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine uses red ginseng, Chuanqi anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation, improving kidney microcirculation, combined with Jiesheng Kidney Qi Pill or Zhi Bo Di Huang Pill, which can cause early diabetic nephropathy. Kidney function and proteinuria were improved.
Chinese and Western medicine, in addition to stabilizing kidney function, can reduce the total mortality rate of cardiovascular events by 70%, and the incidence of long-term myocardial infarction and heart failure.

Content: Three National Ayush institutes inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi

New Delhi : The nation today got three National Ayush Institutes of eminence in Ayurveda, Homoeopathy and Unani. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today virtually inaugurated All India Institute of Ayurveda in Goa, National Institute of Unani Medicine in Ghaziabad, and National Institute of Homoeopathy at Delhi from Goa.

The Prime Minister was participating in the valedictory ceremony of the 9th World Ayurveda Congress (WAC) at Panjim, Goa. The four days deliberation at 9th WAC provided a global platform for national and global stakeholders, industry leaders, practitioners, traditional healers, educationists, and manufacturers for engaging in intellectual exchange to strengthen the Ayurveda sector.

The valedictory ceremony was attended by Shri P. S Sreedharan Pillai, Governor of Goa, Shri Pramod Sawant, Chief Minister, Goa, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal, Union Cabinet Minister of Ayush and Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Dr. Munjpara Mahendrabhai, Minister of State for Ayush and Women & Child Development. Shripad Yesso Naik, Minister of State for Tourism and Ports, Shipping and Waterways and President, Vijnana Bharati and others were also present.

Addressing the gathering Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, said, “We need to continuously work toward the documentation of ‘Data Based Evidence’, we had Ayurveda’s results as well as effects in our favour, but we were lagging behind in terms of evidence. He emphasized that our medical data, research, and journals have to be brought together to verify every claim on modern scientific parameters.”

He added that more than 30 countries have recognized Ayurveda as a traditional medicine system and we have to further promote Ayurveda in every country of the world. PM emphasized that Ayurveda is not just about treatment, it also promotes wellness. The world is now returning to our traditional medicine and Yoga and Ayurveda are the new hope for the world.

On this occasion, Shri Sarbananda Sonowal said, “Ayush Ministry is committed to imparting Ayush health systems into day to day life of the common man by strengthening systems in Health as well as the Education sectors to the people of India. We want Ayush system to become a part of every household not only in India but globally and are trying our best to fulfill dream of Heal in India.”

Is traditional Indian medicine Ayurveda certified by the World Health Organization?

What is the traditional Indian medical system called?

The WHO has a centre in India for traditional medicine research, backed by a $250 million Indian government commitment.

The World Health Organization is interested in alternative medicine.
Mohamed Ismail - Cairo - DPA -
Many people use traditional medicine – but what do these methods really do?
A new WHO centre intends to explore this.
The center is based in India, a country where alternative medicine is so important that it even has its own ministry – which specializes in Ayurveda, Yoga, Physiotherapy, Greek Medicine, Master and Homeopathy.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the opening of the centre in Jamnagar in mid-April, saying: “India ’ s traditional medicine system is not just a cure.
It ’ s a comprehensive science of life. ”
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the Indian government is supporting the centre with US $250 million (230 million euros).
WHO President Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said: “The center aims to be an engine of innovation, moving towards an agenda of evidence, data and sustainability in traditional medicine, ” adding that the center would connect traditional medicine practitioners around the world and help set standards for research.
Traditional medicine is a broad field.
According to the World Health Organization ’ s statement for the center, 80% of the world ’ s population uses traditional medicine, which includes among other things acupuncture, Ayurvedic medicine and herbal blends.
Traditional medicine is also represented in modern science.
According to the World Health Organization, about 40% of all drugs approved today are derived from natural substances.
The discovery of aspirin, for example, is based on ancient recipes made from the bark of the willow tree.
The research for artemisinin for use in the fight against malaria, for which the Nobel Prize was awarded in 2015, began with the study of ancient texts of Chinese medicine.
George Rochmeyer of Cochrane, an international network that provides the scientific basis for decisions in the health field, said it makes sense at least to take a closer look at treatment methods that have been developed over centuries, to verify the reasonableness of these methods, and to conduct clinical studies on them in case of doubt.
Cochrane reviews are systematic reviews that collect all scientific evidence on a specific issue from medicine or other health sciences.
However, Rochmeyer also stressed that besides the examples of traditional methods cited by the WHO, which form the basis of currently developed treatments, there are likely many other examples where traditional methods of careful review have proven ineffective or even dangerous, such as phlebotomy, noting that spending too much money on studies to review a therapeutic practice is always a matter of discretion.
Rochmeyer stated that there are many Cochrane reviews about the use of traditional methods such as acupuncture in certain cases, but: “From my personal experience at Cochrane, I would say that I have not come across many reviews that have shown really compelling evidence for traditional therapeutic practice. ”
This is often due to the fact that when searching for these treatments we find only a few often-poorly conducted studies that cannot prove or disprove any benefit from them – which brings us back to the question of whether the already limited research funds should be invested in a scientifically unreasonable procedure – for example, homeopathy.
Professor Emeritus Edzard Ernst, a longtime professor of alternative medicine at the University of Exeter, noted that while it was necessary to wait and see who would lead the center and what it would do, the WHO press release was full of exaggerations.
The World Health Organization says it also wants to use new technologies at the new center for the study of traditional medicine — via artificial intelligence and big data, for example.
The center is expected to focus on providing a reliable evidence base for policy and standards of traditional medicine practices and products.
In addition, the center is supposed to help countries integrate these practices into their health systems.

Content: The Ayurveda
by Denise Millstine, MD, Mayo Clinic
It has been reviewed in 1445.
Ayurveda is the traditional medical system in India, which originated more than 4,000 years ago.
It is based on a theory that the disease is caused by an imbalance in the body's life force, or prana.
This life-force balance is determined by the balance between the three physical traits called doshas: vata, pitta, and kapha. Most people have a dominant doshas, and the specific balance between the three doshas is unique to each person. (See also Overview of Integrative, Complementary, and Alternative Medicine.)).
Practitioners evaluate people through
• Interrogate them about symptoms, behavior and lifestyle
• Monitor their overall appearance, including eyes, tongue, and skin
• Taking a heartbeat and checking urine and feces
After determining the balance between douches, practitioners design a treatment specific to each person.
Ayurveda uses diet, herbs, massage, meditation, yoga, and internal cleaning (therapeutic cleansing). Cleansing usually involves injecting fluid into the rectum to induce bowel movement or defecation (enema), or washing the nose with water (nasal washing) to restore balance within the body and with nature.
Medical Uses of Ayurveda
Ayurveda has been studied, including in allergic rhinitis, mental health disorders, neurological conditions, pain, arthritis, and diabetes.
As in other studies of entire medical systems, high-quality research is difficult.
Possible side effects of Ayurveda
Some of the plant combinations used in Ayurveda are contaminated with heavy metals (especially lead, mercury and arsenic) so that they can cause heavy metal poisoning.

It's the latest in a long line of attacks on Little Mermaid statue
By Rob Quinn,  Newser Staff
Posted Mar 2, 2023 10:15 AM CST

The Little Mermaid statue in Copenhagen, one of Denmark's most famous landmarks, has been vandalized yet again, this time with the Russian flag. Authorities said Thursday that the white, blue, and red stripes of the Russian flag were painted on the stone the statue sits on, Reuters reports. Police said the vandalism was discovered early Thursday. "We are of course launching an investigation to find out who did it and when and how it happened," a police spokesman said, per Jyllands-Posten.

Denmark, like other European nations, has strongly criticized Russia's war against Ukraine. The small statue, a tribute to the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, sits off a waterfront promenade in the Danish capital. It has been vandalized many times since it was installed 110 years ago, AFP reports. It has been decapitated twice and was knocked off its base with explosives in 2003. In 2017, it was doused in red paint in a protest against whale hunting. In 2020, during worldwide protests after the death of George Floyd, the words "racist fish" were painted on the base, though Andersen scholars said they weren't aware of any racist elements in the fairy tale.

The marble head of Athena was damaged.
A Jewish-American tourist destroyed two Roman-era statues dating back to the second century AD during a visit to a museum in Jerusalem, Israel, on Thursday.
After the tourists were arrested, they confessed that they were dissatisfied with the statue, which reflected idolatry, and violated the Torah.
His lawyer denied that he was acting out of religious fanaticism and that he was suffering from a mental disorder called "Jerusalem Syndrome".
The Israeli Museum involved in the incident released photos showing a marble statue of Athena falling to the ground, the head connection is broken, and another pagan statue falling to the ground.
Israeli police have identified the suspect as a 40-year-old militant who has been ordered to undergo a psychological evaluation and have not released his name due to a restraining order.
Kaufman, a lawyer representing the suspect, argued that the client suffered from Jerusalem Syndrome, a mental disorder that caused foreign pilgrims to mistake themselves for biblical figures, and that the symptoms were triggered by the Jerusalem religious magnetic field.
Describing the incident as disturbing and unusual, the museum condemned all forms of violence and hoped that such incidents would not happen again and that damaged statues were being repaired.
Eli Escusido, director of the Israel Antiquities Authority, said it was a shocking case of cultural values being destroyed by religious extremists.
The Feast of Harvest ends at sunset on Friday, and during the Feast of Judaism, there has been an increase in attacks by ultra-Orthodox Jews against Christians, angering local Christians.
In February, a Jewish-American tourist vandalized a statue of Jesus at a Christian pilgrimage site in the Old City, and in January, Jewish teenagers defaced a Christian historical headstone at a famous cemetery in Jerusalem.

Each incident of vandalism has a complex story with varied motivations, including politics and mental health.

The Danish police are investigating vandalism incidents, but the unknown perpetrators make prevention challenging.

A statue of the Little Mermaid, one of the most iconic tourist attractions in the Danish capital Copenhagen, was deliberately vandalized last night, and the cornerstone below the statue was painted with the white, blue and red colors of the Russian flag.

The Little Mermaid comes from the famous fairy tale of Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen, where the stone beneath the bronze statue is painted in three colors of the Russian flag.
Copenhagen police told Agence France-Presse that since they arrived this morning, "a case of vandalism has been filed" and "local investigations have been launched to trace traces".
It is clear that this means supporting Moscow ’ s position in the Ukraine war.
Some tourists, puzzled by this, took pictures of the damaged statue this morning.
The 175-kilogram Little Mermaid is a work by sculptor Edvard Eriksen, inspired by the Danish poet and writer Hans Christian Andersen ’ s 1837 fairy tale of the same name.
The statue, which sits next to a relatively secluded waterfront walkway, has been vandalized several times over the years, including two burglaries of its head in 1964 and 1998, and a severed arm in 1984. In 2003, the statue was blown loose with explosives and fell into the bay.
It has also been graffitied and painted several times, most recently in 2020 with the words “racist fish. ”

The vandalism's motivations are unknown, but are believed to be linked to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

Social media can motivate vandals seeking "fame" and "ratings".

"A little neurotic" behavior to increase the visibility
He estimated that the motivation of the teen involved was "fame", and described the person as "a somewhat neurotic YouTuber" who increased "ratings" by destroying celebrity gravestones.
He added that YouTuber attracts a variety of fancy, such as women pretending to be unintentionally naked, and as in the recent incident of "East Zhang Ho Bo", people or groups that staged the same scene appeared on the Internet to increase the ratings.

The penalties for similar incidents are low in Hong Kong.
He said that such incidents are not unique: "There are all over the world, but because of cultural differences, Hong Kong people are playing well... I don't know if they are being modest."
He said that the perpetrators do not feel guilty for destroying the tombstone, because the perpetrators know that the consequences may be only compensation or behavior, and will not be severely punished, unless there are more serious consequences, it is impossible to prevent similar incidents from happening in a society with freedom of speech and behavior.

The incident has sparked controversy and been condemned by residents and tourists, who consider the statue part of Danish cultural heritage.

The police investigation into the vandalism is ongoing.
