Alternative Therapies for neurodegenerative diseases

The Indian wonder herb, Mucuna Pruriens
                                                  


The Ayurvedic treatise, the Susrutha Samhita, prescribes Mucuna Pruriens ( Naikurana Parippu ) for Kampa Vata, a disease characterised by tremors, balance problems and rigidity.

Long before Jesus was born, the therapy for Kampa Vata flourished in India. Taking in Mucuna twice ( 500 mg  dose ) was found to decrease Kampa Vata symptoms.
Later Dr Parkinson discovered it and called it Parkinson's  disease. 
....
Yoga exercises were also prescribed for patients. Vajrasana gives strength to legs, Dhanurasana makes the body flexible.

Yoga Therapy ..

Pranayama, Breath Control  
Short breathing means lack of oxygen. Oxygenate your brain with deep breathing !

This disease affects people > 60. Lack of exercise, excess intake of sugar, stress prolonged, insufficient rest, overwork, environmental factors were considered to be the cause of this cruel disease, which Allopathy says is incurable. Also Oxidative Stress.   
Mucuna pruriens is a natural source of L DOPA, Dexoy Phenylalanine, which doctors are prescribing for Kampa Vata.  Powdered Mucuna in hot water or milk can be taken internally, twice a day. Mucuna can be used as a supplement and miracle cures ( if accompanied by Grace ) can be effectuated by Mucuna. 

. Mantra Therapy 

Along with Ayurveda Therapy, Mantra Therapy should be resorted to. The health mantra, Dhanvantari Mantra, should be recited daily.

Dhvam Dhanvantaraye Sarvamaya Vinasanaya Maha Vishnave Swaha , O Doctor of Doctors, heal me !

What is the Rationale of Mantra Therapy ?

According to Ayurvedic & Yogic Wisdom, Man's greatest enemy is Mind and Mantra is that which saves you from your enemy, Mind, Mananath Thrayathe iti Mantra !
For instance, one should not worry, be stressed or depressed, as Depression can cause neurological disorder ! Mind is indeed omnipotent !
Also the Healing Mantra 
Sree Vaidyanathaya Nama Shivaya , I bow down to the Master Healer !
  
Detoxification is a must. It is good to go to a Naturopathy Clinic and get detox. Also taking in fruit and vegetable juices ! Music Therapy can also work wonders !
Susruta in his Susruta Samhita stated that slowness ( Cestasangha ), akinesia ( cestahani ), rigidity are the characteristics of Kampa Vata and they are caused by toxins.
Mucuna is known as Atmagupta in Sanskrit and as Naikarana Parippu in Malayalam. This wonder Indian drug is Mother Nature's remedy for Parkinson's disease or Kampa Vata. According to Ayurveda, the cause of Kampa Vata is Dhatu Kshaya Janya Vata Kopa, anger of Vata necessitated by the depletion of the Seven Tissue Elements, the Sapta Dhatus !

Aswagandha, the Indian Ginseng
.

Aswagandha is another herb of Nature which can manage and cure Kampa Vata. It heals brain cell damage & clears protein plaques. This Indian Ginseng can effectuate cures for AD & PD. ( Alzheimer's and Parkinson's ).
..
Ginger is another antidote to PD.   Zingerone, a compound contained in Ginger root, protects the dopaminergic neuronsFish soup is also effective. Black Ginger Coffee ( Black because Milk is contraindicated in PD ) is good. D Lactate and glycolate present in Curd or Yoghurt also protects neurons !
Broad beans leaves are an effective cure 
...

Transcendental Meditation can reduce Parkinson's symptoms

Fivefold  Elemental Therapy, Pancha Bhootopasana
Sunlight Therapy, Tejopasana, can change moods from pessimistic to optimistic. The levels of serotonin and endorphin increase when the body receives Sunlight. The brain produces serotonin proportional to the Sunlight received by the body. 
The ideal time to receive Sunlight is < 900 AM ( Ela vailukondal elathakum ) and > 0400 PM ( Pokku vailukondal Ponnakum ).  

.This Therapy of Naturopathy can be resorted to.

Sacred Music Therapy

Music has psychotherapeutic properties ! The West has already accepted Music Therapy. NMT or Neurologic Music Therapy has been hailed as a therapy for PD. 

Why not try Sacred Music Therapy, which is divine in character ? Systematic study of Prakriti is Science and that of Purusha is Philosophy. Prakriti or Nature has two aspects, Divine and Mundane. The Five Great Elements + Mind + Intellect + Ego is Apara Prakriti, Lower Nature and Para Prakriti is Divine Nature. In Spinoza, Natura Naturans and Natura Naturata, Creative Nature and Created Nature. So why not appeal to Para Prakriti, Creative Nature, the Mother Divine, to heal us, Roga Nivarani, Soka Nivarani, Tapa Nivarani  Jaya Durga ?



Dr Diet Control, Pathya

IF one does not maintain Pathya
What is the use of medicines ?
Conversely, if one keeps Pathya
No need for medicines for him, I trow !


Foods to avoid are processed foods, fast food, beverages, sugar et al and foods which are positive are tyrosene rich ( a building block of Dopamine ) foods. A list of foods, contraindicated and proinindicated are given athttp://www.eastrovedica.com/html/procontrafoods.htm 


Astro Therapy 

An afflicted planet can give disease. Saturn causeth PD & AD, Jupiter Diabetes, Moon Blood Cancer, Sun Bone diseases, Mercury Skin Disorders, Venus Venereal diseases and Mars Osteoporosis.
Start treatment when Jupiter or Venus are rising, Gurodaye Visheshena. Saturn rules Vata. 

 Coconut Oil as Cure for AD & P D


Legend of the Healer of Vata Roga , Guruvayurappan 

It is said that the Lord of Guruvayur, cured the great poet, Melpathur's Vata, after the poet had finished his  magnum opus, the Narayaneeyam !
The Lord assumed the role of Lord Dhanvantari. Melpathur was afflicted by Vata Roga. As all medications had failed, he turned to the Lord. The Father of the Malayalam language, Thunchath, told him to " Meen thottu koottan " meaning Count From Fish. Melpathur started writing Overmind Poetry, extolling the glories of the Lord ! He condensed the 18 K verses of Maha Bhagavata into 1 K verses of Narayaneeyam. Almost all verses end in " Pahimam sarva rogal ", save me from all afflictions ! He wrote when his legs were paralysed ! It is said the spirituality develops under conditions of peculiar adversity ! Aurobindo got his vision in jail. Tilak wrote the Gita Rahasya in jail. Jesus was crying on the cross, Eli eli lama sabachthani ! Vivekananda said he never knew when his next meal was coming from !
Not only did the Lord give him Vision and thereby Self Actualisaton, but also healed his Vata Roga !

How strange is Thy Grace, vichitra roopasthavaghal Anugraha !


( Miracles maybe rare. " I believe, because it is impossible, certum est quia impossible est ( Tertulian ). " Do you find it difficult to believe in miracles. I, on the contrary find it easy. The planets and the constellations, the Universe itself - they are all utterly incredible, miracles piled upon miracles ! " ( Prof. Ronald Dixon). )
Note -  These medicines can be taken along with allopathic medicines, averr Ayur Doctors.


We know at least three  Ayurveda Centers, where PD patients have recovered  remarkably.   One is in Guruvayur, one in Kochi  and the other in Malappuram. If you want to contact, pls email mailto:info@eastrovedica.com?Subject=PD

Why Philosopher - Statesmen?



Why Philosopher - Statesmen?

"Unless philosophers become kings and kings take to the power and spirit of Philosophy, unless Wisdom and political leadership meet in one man - cities shall never cease from ill nor the human race - Plato, Republic.

Because Philosopher - Statesmen are instruments of the Zeit-Geist, of the Kala Purusha, whose actions are in conformity with Universal Will.

The Lord blessed King Dhruva thus

Thou shalt have
Powers both eternal and temporal
Rajyam chiram samanubhooya
Bhaja swabhooya
Sarvottaram Dhruva
Padam hi nivritti heenam.

Jove moves over to Virgo today, 11/08/2016.
http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/transitjupiter.htm

The exiting Pushya Solar Transit had unleashed  Typhoon Nida ! The Sun's longitude touched 106 deg 40 minutes on 02082016 , initiating Aslesha  Njattuvela. There will be intermittent rains during Aslesha.

Sun moved over to 90 degrees, Cancer, initiating the Sacred Ramayana Masa on 16/07/2016  and Southern Solstice,  Dakshinayana  at 1015 AM. This Holy Period is good for detoxification and for Self Actualisation ! ( Detox of both body and mind is a must for SA ). Jupiter, the make or break planet, moves over, from Leo to Virgo, on Aug 11th in Hindu Astrology.

Daskhinayana - when Sun's longitude is in between 90 and 270.
Uttarayana - when Sun's longitude is in between 270 and 90.

When the Sun's Zodiacal longitude touched 26 degrees 40 minutes ( Karthika Njattuvela ) , pre monsoon showers started in Kerala. When it touched 45 degrees ( Edava Pathi ), rains intensified and when it touched 53 degrees 20 minutes( Makeeryam Njattuvela ), rains became pronounced ( Makeeryam Mathi marannu peyyum ). Rains stabilised when Soorya Sphuta reached 66 deg 40 minutes ( the famous Thiruvathira Njattuvela), proving Astro Meteorology true.

Sun entered 80 degrees ( Punarvasu Njattuvela ) and immediately unleashed Typhoon Nepartak ! While scientists explain hurricanes as the result of variations in temperature and pressure, we know it as the variations in the positions of the luminaries, Sun and Moon. Sun enters 93 degrees 20 minutes, the Saturnine Pushya constellation on 19th, at 1007 PM.

The Sun causeth the Four Seasons of the West and the Six Seasons of India, Rithu Kartha Prabhakarah ! Also the New Moon and the Full Moon days figure prominently in Hindu Astro Meteorology, as the combined gravitational pulls of these celestial bodies can cause high tides ( Hurricanes Sandy, Erika, Hagupit )!

Typhoon Hayan occurred on the First Quarter Moon ( when Moon squares the Sun ). Prof Yaukey averred ( based on the data observed on the Atlantic Ocean from 1950 - 2007 ) that storms are more likely to form after a New Moon and that storms infensified after a New Moon in the 29.5 days of a lunar month ! Scientists warned that Hurricane Irene can be more dangerous on New Moon Day !

Beware of the Sun's transits of the 'monsoon constellations', called the fierce Njattuvelas.

Mrigasira ( Hurricane Christina, Kedarnath Floods )
Aridra ( Hurricanes Bonnie, Alex, Arthur. Fengshen, Guj Floods, Matmo )
Punarvasu ( Hurricanes Dennis, Blanca, Toronto Floods, Alaskan Mega Tsunami, Nangka, Halong )
Pushya ( Hurricanes Genevieve. Dolly, Pak Floods, Mumbai Floods )
Aslesha ( Typhoons Hanna, Utor, Goni, Saola, Damrey )
Magha ( Hurricanes Isaac, Andrew, Irene, Katrina, Omar, Erika )
Pooram ( Hurricanes Elena, Ike, Tidal Bore, Fran, Etau )
Uthara ( Hurricanes Igor, Odile, Vipa, 1938 Hurricane )
Hasta ( Hurricanes Opal, Jelawat, Lili, Jangmi )
Chithra ( Typhoons Vongfong, Sandy, Wilma )
Swathi ( Typhoon Fransisco, Rosing )
Vishakha ( Typhoons Haiyan, Sidr, Chennai Floods, Agnes, Lupit, Nida )
Anuradha ( Typhoons Yuri, Kate )
Jyeshta ( Lake Isabella Floods, Nona, Hagupit )
Moola ( Typhoon Sendong, Indian Tsunami )

Rain fall can be expected in India, particularly Kerala, from Karthika ( Pleiades or " Rainy Stars" Njattuvela ( May 11 ) to Moola Njattuvela ( Dec 29 ). We find Nature unleashing her fury when the Sun's Sidereal Zodiacal Longitude is in between 53 and 253 ! It may be a coincidence that the Galactic Center at Moola and the Anti Galactic Center at Mrigasira play a great role in Weather Forecasting !

Know what the divine forces of Destiny have in store for you this June !

Astrology is an indicative science. When Transit Moon comes to the 8th Sign from Chandra Lagna ( Lunar Ascendant), Chandra Ashtama occurs.Chandra Ashtama means the inauspicious periods which one should avoid, Ashtama Indum cha tad rasim varjayeth sarva karmasu. Know when they occur. Avoid auspiciious events during that phase ! These are given athttp://www.eastrovedica.com/html/monthlyforecast.htm

My Second Transit Jupiter has been positive and has given me a popular site, www.g4marry.com ( inception, 161015 ). But Saturn in the 5th is creating immense expenditure. So these transits are corroborated by Intuition and experience !
