My biggest concern is that there are so many people who lose time when their AS or whatever disease they might have is getting worse because they are spending their time taking the wrong so called medicine. By the time they finally find a real Doctor, they have gotten to the point where they are so damaged that they cannot get the full benefit from the newer medicines. That is so sad.

Hi, Jay:

I was in Old Delhi, but the address says New Delhi: Asif Ali Road not far from Red Fort. Here is the prescription in case it might help. If You get there, their chemists can read the URDU and older guys would be familiar with the founder's writing, but it just looks like chicken scratches to me--



Uploaded with ImageShack.us

The old fellow is deceased, but I would think that his prescription would apply to others with AS and the same location has these herbal pressings as the chemists for Hamdard are still there as far as I know. In fact the fellow who was fetching the pills for me, told me that it would be a very effective CURE!!

My brief encounter is part of my long, boring AS story: He was 92 years old then, and came in, speaking only to my hosts, but he took my pulse for many minutes, then wrote out a prescription we filled at the on-site herbal compounding chemist. As we exited The Hakim’s offices, one of my hosts acted hurt, saying to me “John…do you know what this man has said.” I replied in the negative, observing and reminding him that I do not speak Hindi. “URDU!” “He told us, in Urdu, that your mother is long dead and you have an older sister and a younger brother!” I curled my brow, but told my host that Hakim Hameed was exactly correct. “WHY have you not ever mentioned your brother to us?” I had to explain that my brother was a paranoid-schizophrenic, and it was too difficult to communicate with him, so I stopped trying. Certainly, I hold him no ill-will for his condition, which I believe is the result of in-womb abuse; my mother smoked and drank during her pregnancy with him in the late 1950s. She was a “registered nurse” (RN), and also had a medicine cabinet full of pills that did her no good at all. She expired only months after her 42nd birthday. I wonder now whether her early demise could have been as a result of heart-related AS complications in combination with her terrible lifestyle choices, making it further difficult if not impossible to diagnose retrospectively her condition.


Now, that is today, I understand enough about AS to believe that some herbs which affect the intestinal tract can have a positive impact on this disease--just like the medicines I took for it--the NSAIDs--had a very negative outcome. So I would be willing to try, and still have a small amount left, of these herbs. Let me know if You are going; I will place an order for more! There are 3 kinds of pressings (they smell very nice, btw): Morning, noon, and night 2 each time and also a tiny bottle of massage oil that I did not really use; I went to an ayurvedic place and they slathered coconut oil all over me on a special table that had to drain it off...

HEALTH,
John

hey Manju, love ya question.
My theory of whats going on with us is this:
the AS wheels are set in motion once we create a hole (leak) in our gut. Repair the gut damage, stop the leaking and until the next hole you might feel bit better or you could just jump on the treat-the-superficial-manifestations merry-go-round.

Hi John,

Thanks a lot for forwarding the prescription. I will take a print and enquire with some one who knows urdu. It is a great thing that you preserved the 15 years old prescription, scanned and sent it. I am staying in southern part of India and hence may not visit Delhi. I will try to collect information initially at my place. If anything worthwhile possible here itself, I will inform you.

Regards.

JAY

Coincidentally, an Australian Current Affairs show "Today Tonight" had a segment on Wednesday night which explored Homeopathy, and showed the results when a scientist and the interviewer swallowed 40 Homeopathy sleeping pills each - nothing.

It's not all pseudoscience. Some emergency clinics are even using homeopathy like in this video.

I've seen this and it's still hilarious but it's also sad that it's true where they just empty your wallet and give nothing in return. That's what gets to me.
