October 08: Autism is quite common in the modern era as one of the eleven children suffers from this disorder. The research about autism treats immunotherapy for the conditions related to genetic, prenatal, and postnatal findings.

The discovery of a dysfunctional state in the brain tissue and spinal fluid alters autistic patients. These findings offer new theories that will cause disorders or prevent therapeutic options within the near future. Immune interventions in this disorder are reviewed with new therapies followed by the interventions that are discussed.

Autism

Autism is a neurological disorder and a behavioral disorder that acts on the kids, which could be single or multiple. Autism inhibits children from performing regular activities, altering brain, behavior, motor skills, listening, and interactions. Experts from Positive Autism are one of the most effective in treating children with Autism disorder. Consistent with the reports, children with autism disorders are unique, explaining that no two autistics generate equivalent symptoms.

Autism – Homeopathy

Autism treatment using homeopathy offers an efficient, safe, and delicate way of treating autism as its remedies target each pattern of symptoms. Homeopathic treatment has shown progress with the children possessing severe autism marked reversal and enjoying their life independently. Therapy makes kids manage aggression and enhance physical health issues or disorders, followed by the overall well-being of autistic children.

For almost a century, the medical community has struggled to grasp and compute ways to treat autism. Homeopathic medicines are used from time to time to affect autism, and results are observed in the short term.

Homeopathic remedies for autism are recommended despite age groups, gender and can take for extended durations without fearing any harmful side effects. Autism treatment using homeopathy focuses on handling autism naturally. Parents are often sure of their child’s safety in using homeopathic medicines.

Homeopathy Treatment

The homeopathic case evaluation of a toddler with autism incorporates an in-depth study of the diseases within the family, which helps to know the genetic ground for autism. The case history deals with kids’ impaired functions, such as speech, communication, behavior, tantrums, and social skills. It is often difficult to urge an in-depth description of pain or other symptoms of autism, which parents also are focused on the case-taking procedures. These minor differences dictate a special autism treatment in homeopathy to assist them in healing better.

Homeopathy brings balance to the system of the kid, and these therapies for autism suppress vulnerability levels. They also bring a change to the state of reactivity. When reactivity improves, other characteristics emerge. Healing progresses through the sequential use of homeopathic medicines for longer periods. These treatments wholly aim to lessen autism and treat genetic tendencies.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy has been whopping in recent years as the effects are memorable. Boosting the immunity levels of the kids and reducing the inflammatory response restores balance to the health.

This highly effective treatment method is employed to better the lives of autistic children and their parents in some ways. The results are immediate and long-lasting.

Before availing of Homeopathy therapy, your physician concentrates on:

1. Birth History
2. Past History
3. Family History

Here I am sharing with you the details of a 3-year-old kid reversed from autism.

This case presents to you the observations of reversed autism in kids by homeopathic therapy as we are aware that these practices are blooming due to excellence in service and no side effects, a slow but constant improvement throughout your time. The improvements with these therapies are traced back to the time the right remedy was given. They’re undue to other circumstances.

The child is three years old. The pregnancy was smooth, but the mother wasn’t happy. Antibiotics usage for the mother while in labor. There’s some history of two ears infection within the preceding year. The kid started walking and talking at around ten months. Six months later, development stopped, and he began to regress. The hand flapping started.

• He is very sensitive to sound
• He has very poor eye contact, features a lot of drama
• Wakes during the night and scream

Even though he was developing well, the mother says he was always better in his world. He doesn’t mind when the oldsters leave. They are often left alone for hours, and he won’t complain. He never asks for all the world.

Jackfruit365, green jackfruit flour is promising for Indians to achieve diabetes remission, is proven by a few of the case studies in India now

New Delhi, (India), October 04: Are you a diabetic? Have you been in the tangle of type-2 diabetes and on medication for long? Have you been fed up taking daily pills to manage your diabetes? Are you worried, losing hope of getting remission from diabetes without medication? There is good news for you. Now you can rejoice and hope of getting remission from diabetes through diet as international organisations are unanimous on Diabetes remission through diet.

Lately, the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the Endocrine Society, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes and Diabetes UK have jointly published in Diabetes Care, the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, Diabetologia, and Diabetic Medicine respectively that people with type-2 diabetes should be considered in remission after sustaining normal blood glucose (sugar) levels for three months or more without diabetic medication. ^[1]

In this consensus statement, the international group of experts suggest an HbA1c (average blood glucose) level of less than 6.5% for at least three months after stopping diabetes medication as the usual diagnostic criterion for diabetes remission. ^[1] It comes out from the statement that the role of diet in the remission of diabetes management will have the upper hand. Diabetes remission is described as a favourable outcome of interventions including low-calorie diet and low carbohydrate diet resulting in a disease-free status.

“Of course, the latest findings of American Diabetes Association (ADA) on the remission of Type-2 diabetes through diet is a great breakthrough, which is likely to have a huge impact on the way Type-2 diabetes will be managed in the future. In fact, I consider this is the most important recent advancement in diabetes management in the last decade. The clinical study published by my team suggested that with low-calorie diet, around 50% patients with recent onset diabetes can manage to reverse to a stage where they can manage their diabetes without medications. However, when it comes to diet, especially in India, where a variety of foods are available, there is a good scope to identify and develop local food options, which will be useful in managing blood glucose levels in patients with Type-2 diabetes. I would like to congratulate the scientific researchers who have found out the efficacy of Jackfruit flour in lowering HbA1c levels among the patients with Type-2 diabetes,”says Dr Anjali Bhatt, Diabetologist, Founder & Consultant, ENDOCLINIC, Pune.

After reading the latest consensus led by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) about the remission of diabetes through diet, one of the Indian diabetes patients relishing remission jumped with joy saying that his own readings now have scientific validation. That diabetes patient is a 50-year-old resident of Chennai – Mr Vinu Nair who included Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit flour in his meals and got marvellous results in diabetes remission.

An elated Mr Nair shares his story saying, “I heard about Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit flour through a TiE (The Indus Entrepreneurs) event five years back where James Joseph, CEO, Jackfruit365.com was describing its characteristics and efficacy in diabetes control. His deliberations increased my curiosity to know more about Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit flour as my both parents were diabetic. I kept in touch with James to know more about the efficacy of the product – Jackfruit365 flour. A couple of years later in May 2018, I turned diabeticwith HbA1c 7.7%, my wife, a medical doctor, suggested medication, and I contacted James, and he suggested taking Jackfruit356 flour as nutrition therapy along with the medication. And I started both. Surprisingly, after three months, my sugar level dropped to 5.9% from 7.7%.”

Adding further, Mr Nair says, “After my sugar level reached 5.9%, I decided to take one pill in a day instead of 2 tablets, but continued on Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit flour twice a day. After three more months, i.e., after six months, my reading was pretty consistent. And after one year in May 2019, my HbA1c reading came down to 5.8%. Alongside, my cholesterol & triglycerides also came down substantially. As I do a lot of cooking, I used Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit flour in my meals in a variety of ways, such as in breakfast in the form of Idli, Dosa, Roti and Puttu – the great combination. I tried it on soups or anything warm, I used to sprinkle Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit Flour on it, and used its flour in making many other dishes.”

 Having observed the marvellous response of Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit flour by the end of the second year, Mr Nair started feeling too low in sugar levels. In May 2020, his HbA1c was 5.5% and decided to quit medication but continued with the Jackfruit365 flour. In the third year, he is using only Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit flour without any medication. In May 2021, his HbA1c is 6.2%, which is below 6.5% after one year of quitting the medication with normal cholesterol and triglycerides. Remarkably, during this period, Mr Nair didn’t change his traditional Indian eating habits. His case study conforms to the criterion of the latest findings of Diabetes remission through diet led by the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

Characteristic Features of Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit Flour

• Jackfruit365 Green Jackfruit flour is made from 100% mature green unripe Jackfruits of India.
• The green jackfruit flour has sufficient binding and is the most convenient way to control blood sugar through food without changing eating habits.
• One cup of jackfruit flour has 40% fewer calories, 40% fewer carbohydrates, and four times higher fibre than a wheat/rice flour cup.
• A clinical study published in Nature Group Journal, Nutrition & Diabetes showed adding a tablespoon of Jackfruit365 flour in most common main meals three times a day can reduce HbA1c in Type-2 Diabetes.
• Within months of study publication, Jackfruit365 has become a bestseller in Amazon with 5000 plus reviews from diabetic patients in India finding it effective and convenient.

An official attempt for creating a world record

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], September 28: 29th Sept is celebrated every year as World Heart Day to create awareness among the general public. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death due to heart attack. India is infamously known as the Diabetes Capital of the World for being home to an estimated 74 million people with Diabetes. Around an equal number of people are currently suffering from prediabetes. Various studies have shown that 50% of Indians remain undiagnosed, among those who are diagnosed, only 25% are well controlled.

The second wave of the COVID pandemic has taught us very tough lessons. Diabetic patients, undiagnosed diabetic patients and even prediabetic people were at 2 to 6 times higher risk of severe infections, hospitalization and death. Realising the urgent need for diagnosing the undiagnosed, tracking and treating those who already have diabetes, the Research Society for Study of Diabetes in India (RSSDI) launched Defeat Diabetes Campaign with an objective of reaching 100 million people in 100 days with a message – Test, Track and Treat. The campaign was launched on the occasion of Doctors Day (1st July) by the hands of Chief Justice of India, Honourable Justice N V Ramanna.

As a part of the Defeat Diabetes campaign, RSSDI will be conducting a nationwide blood glucose testing camp on 29th Sept (World Heart Day) in partnership with Rotary India, Art of Living and Beat – O. This camp will be simultaneously conducted at around 10,000 sites spread across various parts of the country. A geolocation-based portal has been launched at https://defeatdiabetes.online from where anyone can easily look for the nearest site offering free blood sugar testing. Additionally, those wanting to test their sugar from home will be able to upload their readings on the same platform.

Dr Banshi Saboo, National President, RSSDI, said, “This will be the first of its kind event and will be monitored by the Asia Book of Records to be considered a record for doing the maximum number of blood sugar tests in one single day. The mega event One Nation, One Day, One Million Blood Sugar Tests will be inaugurated on 28th Sept by Sri Sri Ravishankar along with various international dignitaries”.

Dr Bal Inamdar, Chair, Health, Rotary India, said, “With 77 Million diabetic patients, India is considered as the Diabetic Capital of the world. An amazing 57% of patients are undiagnosed. In this scenario, mass screening becomes of paramount importance. Rotary India is happy to collaborate with RSSDI for this most needed screening. Let’s Defeat Diabetes! All the best to all the partners in this great endeavour.”

The Webinar revealed that 810 women and 6700 newborn die everyday due to pregnancy and childbirth issues

New Delhi, September 21: As a part of the global action on patient safety, the World Health Assembly adopted a resolution on 24th May 2019 to address global patient safety in a concerted manner. Part of this resolution is about adopting 17th September as a World Patient Safety Day.

PFPS India and National Thalassemia Welfare Society (NTWS), in association with GAP Health Foundation and Youth Thalassemics Alliance, organised a webinar on 19th September to mark the 3rd World Patient Safety Day (WPSD). The deliberations were focused around the theme of WPSD 2021, “Safe Maternal and New-born Care”, and also another prime focus area of WHO “Medication Without Harm”.

In his opening remark Dr. J S Arora, member of WHO Advisory Group Patients For Patient Safety programme, founder of PFPS India and founder president NTWS informed that as per WHO approximately 810 women and 6700 newborns die every day from preventable causes related to pregnancy and childbirth. He added that most maternal and stillbirths/newborns are avoidable through the provisions of safe and quality care.

Dr Neelam Dhingra, Unit Head WHO Patient Safety Flagship programme 2021-2030, was the chief guest. In her address, she said one in every ten patients harmed while receiving hospital care in high-income countries (HICs) and 13.4 crore adverse events occur each year in hospitals in low-middle income countries (LMICs), contributing to 2.6 crore deaths annually. She added that 83% of harm to the patients is avoidable. She said the vision of Global Patient Safety Action Plan 2021-2030 is “a world in which no one is harmed in health care and every patient receives safe and respectful care, every time, everywhere” and the goal is “Achieve the maximum possible reduction in avoidable harm due to unsafe health care globally”.

Dr Aparna Singh Shah, regional adviser at Department of Health systems Developments, WHO South-East Asia Region Office, New Delhi, was the guest of honour. She highlighted one of the objectives of WHO SEARO is “To assess the nature and scale of adverse events in healthcare and establish a system of learning and reporting”, and the challenge is “lack of actionable quality and safety data, especially at the local level”.

Dr Sanjiv Kumar, former Executive Director National Health Systems Resource Centre, (NHSRC) MoHFW, who was chairing the webinar, highlighted a 1 in a million chance of a person being harmed while travelling by plane. In comparison, there is a 1 in 300 chance of a patient being harmed during health care. He suggested the best way to reduce harm in healthcare is religiously applying a checklist at every step, as is being done in aviation and other industries.

Dr Aparna Sharma, additional professor of Obs & Gynae at AIIMS, Delhi, highlighted steps in patient safety in maternal care. Dr Harish Chellani, professor of paediatrics at VMMC & Safdarjung hospital, said that introduction of a mother’s bed along with a neonatal intensive care unit has reduced neonatal morbidity and mortality to a great extent. Maj. Gen. Dr Atul Kotwal, executive director NHSRC MoHFW highlighted various GOI programmes like JSSK, SUMAN, LaQshya, MusQan and NBCC for care during labour, childbirth and newborn care.

Dr Harmeet Singh Rehan, Professor and Head Department of Pharmacology LHMC, emphasised on reporting of adverse events to learn and improve upon. Dr Eswara Reddy, Joint Drug Controller General of India, said that as the regulator, their primary responsibility is to assure the quality of drug formulations at every step from manufacturing to dispensing. He added that in case of doubt, any person from the public could take a drug sample and send it for investigation. Mr PK Jaggi former Head of Office and Licencing Authority, Drug Control Department, Delhi said pharmacist plays an important role in patient safety by taking adequate precaution while dispensing a prescription.

Dr JS Arora urged the doctors to write the prescription in legible handwriting, minimise the use of abbreviations and avoid distractions while examining a patient.

Ms Sangeeta Wadhwa, another member of WHO advisory group Patients for Patient Safety programme and founder of Youth Thalassemics Alliance, said that Healthcare professionals are not the enemy 99% of the time, and patients are not the enemy 99% of the time. We can bridge the divide by asking the questions FIRST, then have a solution session where questions are reviewed objectively with solutions in mind.

Meeting ended with a note to submit recommendations to the Govt for taking effective measures to minimise healthcare-related harms.

World Patient Alliance, an umbrella organization of patients and patients’ organizations around the globe, supported this webinar.

Students of all streams were invited to participate in a poster competition on the three issues 1) Safe Maternal Care, 2) Safe New-born Care, and 3) Medication Safety. Winning students were awarded a merit certificate and cash prize.

Founded by an expert in prosthodontic treatment, Dr. Reiyal, the clinic is also known for its excellent service and patient-inclusive treatment planning. Therapeuo aims to secure their patient’s comfort and happiness by making them an integral part of the entire process.

The clinic hosts one most experienced and skilled professionals, Dr. Reiyal, trained in Prosthetic and aesthetic dentistry and has been practicing for 11 years. Dr. Reiyal has helped hundreds of patients achieve their perfect smiles, and at Therapeuo Dental Clinic, he wants to ensure that one gets exactly what they desire. Dr. Reiyal has noticed that patients undergo dental procedures without a say in the outcome of their treatment, leading to an emotional disconnect and loss of confidence. Keeping these concerns in mind, Dr. Reiyal, the principal dentist and co-founder at Therapeuo Dental Clinic, is introducing’ Digital Smile Design’, the latest innovation in dentistry, which is a powerful tool to help design and create healthy smiles that are customized to suit one’s physical appearance and personality.

Being mentored about Digital Smile Designing by Dr. Christian Coachman (founder of DSD), Dr. Reiyal says, “You can’t build something without assessing, designing and planning first – and this is what Digital Smile Design does for your teeth and smile. It gives you a preview of your new smile before treatment, takes the guesswork out of dental procedures and most importantly, gives you confidence in the plan and the desired outcome” Therapeuo Dental Clinic’s Digital Smile Design has a simple motto – “Assess – Design – Plan”. What’s new in the innovation is that it improves the aesthetic visualization of the patient’s concern, giving them an understanding of the possible solution and educating and motivating them about the benefits of the treatment. It removes any scepticism or doubt that the patient might have before undertaking any treatment, thereby providing a seamless experience. That’s not all. The design created digitally involves the participation of the patients in the designing process of their smile design. This ensures customization of the smile as per the individual’s desires and needs, providing them with emotional acceptance and confidence in the treatment plan for the new smile.

It is more accurate, reproducible and removes the chances of manual error by providing better and long-lasting outcomes. Bettering lives with beautiful smiles, DSD is the new promising treatment that has the power to create a better future with its digital technology and precision.
