Doctors’ responses
Hello Mengot, I am truly sorry to hear about the challenges you’re facing with cancer and the complications from chemotherapy. In Ayurveda, the approach focuses on strengthening the body’s vitality, supporting detoxification, and addressing imbalances caused by the treatments. To help manage the side effects of chemotherapy and support liver and kidney health, Ayurvedic herbs like Milk Thistle, Turmeric, and Ashwagandha can help detoxify and protect the organs while enhancing your immune system. A diet rich in antioxidants, warm, easy-to-digest foods, and hydration can also support your recovery and energy levels. Panchakarma therapies, including gentle detoxification treatments, can help rejuvenate the body and balance the doshas. It would be important to know if you have recent medical reports regarding your liver and kidney function, as this can guide a more tailored Ayurvedic plan. How are your digestion, sleep, and energy levels?
Have you recently taken PET SCAN IF THERE PLEASE FORWARD I CAN SUGGEST YOU EVEN MORE BETTER
Hello to help you better analysis of your latest reports and physical examination is mandatory. I would recommend you to visit a local Ayurvedic Cancer specialist who can guide you better. There are multiple treatment options in ayurveda, which can be integrated along with allopathic treatment.
I acknowledge the challenges you are facing with your current treatment. It’s important to first address that in situations where conventional medical care is causing significant issues like liver or kidney complications, a multidisciplinary approach involving both integrative and conventional medicine specialists is crucial. Immediate guidance from your oncologist or physician who is overseeing your chemotherapy is necessary to ensure your safety and modify treatments if needed.
In parallel, Ayurveda can offer complementary approaches to support your overall well-being and may help mitigate some side effects. It’s vital to understand that Ayurveda isn’t a replacement but can serve as supportive care. Here are a few suggestions that align with Ayurvedic principles:
1. Diet: Focus on foods that are gentle on the liver and kidneys. Primarily, consume light, easily digestible meals – kitchari (a mix of rice and mung beans) can be soothing and nutritious. Avoid heavy, fried, or processed foods and limit salt intake, which can strain the kidneys.
2. Herbal Support: Consider herbs such as Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia), which is known in Ayurveda for its adaptogenic properties and may help bolster immunity and overall vitality. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any herbal remedies especially since you are undergoing chemotherapy.
3. Hydration: It’s essential to keep well-hydrated. Drink warm water throughout the day, as it can assist in flushing out toxins and relieving strain on the kidneys.
4. Relaxation: Stress management is vital. Practices such as gentle yoga or pranayama (breathing exercises) can aid in managing stress and improving your overall resilience.
5. Routine Care: Establishing a daily routine, or Dinacharya, such as going to bed early and rising with the sun, can support your body’s natural rhythms and promote balance.
Because your condition is complex and requires multiple levels of care, ensure that any Ayurvedic approach is discussed with your medical team to safely incorporate these practices alongside your current treatment plan. Prioritize open dialogues with your healthcare providers about all treatment options available to you.
