  • NeoLacta PHBM powder: A new innovation in human milk nutrition for babies

    NeoLacta Lifesciences introduces Pasteurised Human Breast Milk (PHBM) powder to support mothers with insufficient lactation

    New Delhi (India), December 23: The National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data indicates that only 54.9% of children are exclusively breastfed, and the average period of exclusive breastfeeding is only 2.9 months. WHO recommends that all infants should receive exclusive breastmilk for the first 6 months of life. Human milk is a unique source of prebiotics and passive immunity for a baby.

    In the absence of breastfeeding, these benefits can still be acquired through donor human milk. WHO recommends pasteurised donor human milk as the best choice of feed in the absence of mother’s own milk.

    In an effort to support the usage of human milk for babies, NeoLacta Lifesciences has introduced Pasteurised Human Breast Milk (PHBM) powder (https://neolacta.com/buy-online/  ). It is a powdered form of screened and pasteurised donor human milk that provides essential nutrients from100% Human Milk when mother’s own milk isn’t available. PHBM powder contains zero synthetic additives and can be reconstituted with recommended quantity of drinking water. The shelf-stable formulation of PHBM powder ensures storage at room temperature and avoids hassles of cold chain maintenance.

    Dr. Vikram Reddy, chief scientific officer, NeoLacta Lifesciences, informed that PHBM powder has been developed to meet the nutritional needs as well as support the physical and cognitive development of babies. It can be very useful for breastfeeding mothers in situations like inadequate lactation, lactation failure, maternal illness, cow’s milk protein allergy etc., as this unique formulation will help parents ensure that the baby is on a 100%human milk diet.

    Babies who are on 100% Human Milk Diet for the first 6 months have fewer ear infections, respiratory illnesses, and bouts of diarrhoea. They also have fewer hospitalizations and trips to the doctor. Human Milk nutrition has also been linked to higher IQ scores in later childhood in some studies, informed Dr. Geetika Gangwani, Lactation Consultant.

    We want to ensure that parents and clinicians are made aware of the availability of this innovative product so that babies receive the right choice of nutrition from birth, added Dr. Vikram Reddy.

    NeoLacta is the 1st and only company in India and Asia to have developed a state-of-the-art human milk processing facility with ISO 22000:2018 certification, GMP compliant and FSSAI  approved. This helps caregivers and decision-makers adhere to a 100% human milk diet without having to rely on bovine milk-based products, which also contain multiple synthetic additives.

    NeoLacta is the only human milk facility in India to have ISO clean rooms, HACCP certified processes, onsite R&D, chemical and microbial labs and walk-in freezers, which distinguishes NeoLacta from any standard human milk bank. Moreover, the proprietary technologies used for processing makes India the 2nd nation globally after US to have a facility of this kind.

    Continuing the legacy of supporting parents and clinicians by providing 100% human milk-based neonatal products, operations have been recently launched in the United Kingdom under the banner of NeoKare Nutrition. The founders of both the organisations, NeoLacta and NeoKare, have an extensive background in human milk technology since they were instrumental in establishing the 1st milk bank in Australia at KEM, Perth, WA in 2000.

  • Non Certified Dental Crowns Spreading Cancer in India

    December 16: Yes, you read it right, Cancer!!! Chinese products or made-in-China goods have been accused of decades of their quality issues. Now this time, dental crowns manufactured in china zirconia are taking over the trend these days for the presence of cancer-causing radioactive substances. The biomedical and dental implants made by various Chinese manufacturing companies have been known to use some radioactive compounds in the process, which on longer time use, poses the risk of causing cancers in the mouth. These all are non-certified Chinese products

    Let us now have a look at the aftereffects of using the Chinese-made dental crowns that are mouth and neck cancer.

    After Root Canal Treatment, aka RCT, patients need a tooth crown or cap. Now there are multiple materials available in the market: metal and Metal-Free. Metal-free (Zirconia) are in high demand. It gives a natural look, high strength, and is  biocompatible. In old age, we used metal, gold, etc.

    At present many dentists use metal and layers with a neighbouring colour to give a natural look. But if you have metal teeth, you cannot do MRI whenever needed, and it is not suggested for the long term. Zirconia crowns or metal-free crowns have been trending for the last 10 years.

    Looking at the demand, Chinese companies are selling non-certified zirconia, which has radioactive elements, to India and the subcontinent at the lowest price. The price of certified dental material Vs non-certified Chinese is ten times cheaper or sometimes 15 times lower.

    This price difference attracts our Dentists and Dental labs to use such radioactive material. It’s not only their fault. Even as consumers or patients, we never ask which crown or cap they are using. Is it certified? All certified companies profile authentication cards so that patients can check and be sure of what has been placed in their mouth. 3M Dental, Dentsply, Dental Direkt, etc. all give authentication cards on each crown.

    Moreover, It’s a moral duty of all our Indian Dentists to use only certified Dentist material.

    Efforts have been made by the worldwide community to reduce the usage of naturally occurring radioactive elements. The porcelain formulas should not intentionally contain any radioactive component, according to the International Standards Organization and the American Dental Association, in collaboration with the American National Standards Institute.

    Both the medical and dental professions are worried about dental treatment safety and any potential health hazards linked with the materials used to replace teeth. If material is deemed biocompatible, it should not cause inflammatory reactions and should not cause allergic, immunological, toxic, mutagen, or carcinogenic effects.

    Both porcelain and zirconia crowns are safe from a radiation standpoint. The quantity of radioactivity in these crowns is minimal and in low concentrations, similar to the amount found naturally in your body.

    Zirconium dioxide (zirconium dioxide) and zirconium metal (zirconium metal) are not radioactive. The production methods break apart the zircon crystal structure, allowing the uranium and thorium atoms to escape. As a result, dental implants, biomedical implants, and jewelry constructed of cubic zirconia contain no radioactive residues.

    Thus, it is no denying fact that the Chinese dental restorations that do not conform to the standards contain heavy radioactive metals that are quite harmful and in fact life-threatening to be used in the long run.

    What’s the solution?

    A simple solution is using branded dental crowns, which are medically certified for biocompatibility. There are various brands like 3M Dental and Dental Direkt Germany. These brands offer various dental products that are safe to be used. These are the best zirconiacrowns brands in India, which have been certified by many medical agencies nationally and internationally.

    Comparing these two brands, we will say that both are manufactured in German, and there is no compromise in quality, so there is no difference at this point, but, comparing the price there is a great difference in ceramic tooth cap priceceramic dentures, and metal-ceramic crown pricezirconia tooth crown, and zirconia dental implants costesthetic dental ceramics and zirconium dentures cost, etc.

    In India, the total cost of 3M zirconia crowns is determined by dentist fees and laboratory prices. The price of 3M zirconia crowns is extremely high. The price of 3M zirconia fluctuates between ₹15,000 and ₹30,000 per crown. If the cost of zirconia crowns is prohibitively expensive for you, there is another option in the market called Dental Direkt.  Dental Direkt, a German-certified company or brand that delivers the same high-quality zirconia as 3M at a more inexpensive price range of ₹8000 – 15,000, sells zirconia crowns.

    Choosing the right kind of Zirconia crowns is most important because it’s a question of our own health and survival. It becomes our prime duty to discuss with your dentist before finalizing the crown material for your teeth. Think twice and get the best branded Zirconia restorations.

  • Why Skipping Meals in the Journey of Weight Loss Is a Misconception: Dr. Snehal Adsule

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 15: Think twice the next time you consider accelerating your weight loss journey by skipping meals. This misdemeanour can cause your metabolism to slow down, which can lead to weight gain, warns Dr. Snehal Adusle, a weight loss coach and dietician on a mission to make one million women healthy, happy, and empowered.

    “The ultimate shortcut to improving weight loss is to manage meals by eating right and eating at the right time,” says Dr. Snehal Adsule, who received the NMIMS Sarvochh Seva Samman Award and was named the ‘Most Trusted Dietician of the Year’ in 2019. “Avoid long gaps between meals to avoid a negative effect on metabolism.” It is critical to breaking the overnight fast within 45 minutes of waking up in the morning.”

    Many people have a habit of skipping breakfast. On the other hand, those who skip breakfast will consume an additional 500 calories per day, which is a significant disadvantage when trying to lose weight. Breakfast is best served between 7 and 8 a.m., and it should not last longer than 10 a.m.

    Similarly, Dr. Adsule recommends eating lunch between 12.30 p.m. and 2.30 p.m. to maintain steady blood glucose levels and keep hunger at bay. Again, dinner is best eaten 3-4 hours after lunch and 3 hours before bed to promote optimal sleep and efficient calorie use.

    “Dinner should not be served after 10 p.m. It is preferable to have mid-meal snacks between your main meals to ensure that your body does not go into starvation mode. “Late-night meals can cause bloating,” Dr. Adsule explained.

  • Around 85% of diabetes-related amputations start with foot ulcers: Dr. Arun Bal

    Mumbai, December 14: Diabetes has evolved as a major healthcare challenge in India. In 2019, India had 77 million people living with diabetes. The numbers are expected to rise to 101 million in 2030 and 134 million in 2045. Diabetes is associated with multiple complications such as nerve damage and poor blood supply, making the foot more prone to ulcers. Diabetic foot ulcers have a tendency to get worse pretty fast if not treated early.

    Dr. Arun Bal, Consultant Diabetic Foot Surgeon, Raheja Hospital, says, “High blood glucose is associated with multiple healthcare disorders, and foot ulcers are one of the common complications of uncontrolled diabetes. Diabetic foot ulcers are stubborn and can result in amputation if not treated in time. Around 85% of diabetes-related amputations start with foot ulcers. In India, the awareness around the condition is poor, and people often try to manage the ulcers. They often reach late to the doctor, and there is no other option than amputating the limb.

    Speaking on one of his patients, Dr. Bal said, “A 64-year-old male with a history of Type-II Diabetes for eight years presented with right toe swelling and ulceration for three months. Each time this swelling occurred during this period, he ignored it as the affected region lacked any sensation. A few days later, he had another episode of swelling of the same toe and presented to his family physician with redness, edema and extensive ulceration at the same region. He was then referred to me by his physician. After a complete examination, amputation of the right toe was suggested by me. The toe could have been saved if the patient had consulted me earlier.”

    The treatment of diabetic foot ulcers has evolved with the latest researches and newer molecules. From the times of world war, tincture iodine was the treatment of choice for most ulcers, diabetic or non-diabetic. The evolution of iodine ensured that better-acting iodine is now available for the management of ulcers. Cadexomer iodine is the latest form of iodine used to manage most diabetic feet. This molecule ensures that patients do not have to go daily for dressing change, thereby reducing the financial burden on the patient. Additionally, Cadexomer Iodine has shown to be effective in treating ulcers, thereby reducing the requirement of surgical debridement.

    Dr. Bal added, “In the case mentioned above, the timely intervention of the right treatment could have helped us avoid the amputation of the affected toe. Cadexomer Iodine has proven to be the dressing of choice for such complicated wounds in diabetic patients due to its safe and prolonged duration of antiseptic action.”

  • Finding the right physician is the first step to cure blood diseases

    New Delhi (India), December 13: Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) from a donor (Allogeneic BMT) is possibly the most challenging procedure in modern medicine, which has evolved over the last 50 years, curing millions of patients suffering from blood diseases. Both malignant (leukemia/lymphoma/myeloma) and non-malignant (thalassemia/sickle cell anemia/aplastic anemia/ primary immunodeficiencies) however, the success of BMT is incumbent upon finding successful immunological compatibility between the patient and the donor- called matching of HLA or immunological signature, which is inherited from the parents and varies from person to person. There is a 25% chance of two siblings being completely HLA-matched with each other, which basically means that 3 out of 4 patients requiring a BMT would not find a compatible donor.

    The question often asked is why an unrelated third person cannot be the donor! The answer lies in the fact that the immunological signature or HLA is extremely variable, and the chance of 2 random persons to match with each other is less than one in a million.  While this problem has been largely addressed in Europe and America, for the Caucasian people, with the creation of large unrelated donor registries, where 3 out of 4 Caucasians can find a completely HLA-Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD). This is large because of the very conserved genetic pool of the population, which is not true for a country like India, where thousands of different ethnic races inhabit. The solution for such patients lies in using HLA half-matched or Haploidentical family donors (not unrelated). Haploidentical BMT is one of the most difficult forms of BMT, and no Indian centre performed such transplants in 2010, when Dr Suparno Chakrabarti first initiated Haploidentical BMT program in India.

    Dr Suparno Chakrabarti, an alumnus of PGI, Chandigarh, who initiated the Clinical Hematology program at the institute in 1995, returned to India in 2010. He had left for the UK in 1998 and spent 12 years in both clinical and basic research in the field of BMT, initially as a Research Fellow and subsequently as a faculty. Several paradigm shifts happened in the field of BMT during this time, and Dr Chakrabarti made an immense contribution to the field with several path-breaking research. However, his yearning to contribute to his own country brought him back to India. The last ten years were no less significant in terms of his contribution to the field of BMT and immunology. Dr Sarita Rani Jaiswal joined him in 2011 as a trainee at a premier healthcare centre in Kolkata, where the first BMT Centre of eastern India was created.

    Dr Chakrabarti had an enormous task in hand, having initiated the most difficult type of BMT for the first time in India, with little support from the institution and otherwise. He was criticized by many at that time for indulging in such a high-risk procedure. But the initial cohort of patients all had very advanced blood cancers without any other treatment options. Dr Sarita Jaiswal trained under him for 3 years before going abroad and training under the pioneers in the field of Haploidentical BMT in Italy and Seattle, USA.

    In view of an indifferent attitude of administration, colleagues and the Bengali population overall, Dr Chakrabarti decided to move his base to Delhi. Dr Sarita Jaiswal, being true to the mission of her mentor, joined him at Dharamshila (Narayana) Hospital in 2014, where Dr Suversha Khanna, the founder-promoter of the hospital and Mr Anil Kumar, the outgoing President of the trust, helped them create a true ecosystem for flourishing in both clinical and basic research.

    With only 10-20% survival for Haploidentical BMT in 2012-13, Dr Chakrabarti and Dr Jaiswal invested in extensive research along with the clinical work in Delhi. The rest is now history. Currently, in over 150 Haploidentical BMT carried out between 2015-2021, the survival stands at over 80% in both malignant and non-malignant disorders. Dr Jaiswal had made oral presentations every year between 2015-2021 in scientific conferences in Europe and USA. Their innovations in the field of Haploidentical BMT had researchers in the USA adapt their approach. While this has not been an easy journey, the will, dedication, and honesty paid off at the end.

    Both Dr Jaiswal and Dr Chakrabarti rue about the fact that only a handful patients are benefitting from their path-breaking work. Most of the country remains ignorant about the scientific breakthroughs which are happening in their own backyard. They do not have the academic, financial, or political patronage to leverage their achievements for the benefit of the millions who need it. Despite all these limitations, they have not given up. In the memory of his late mother, Dr Chakrabarti started the MANASHI CHAKRABARTI FOUNDATION, which was aimed at supporting research and treatment for children with Blood Diseases. They have initiated a Comprehensive Care Centre for Thalassemia and Sickle Cell Anemia at Dharamshila Narayana Hospital. They have been joined in their endeavour by Dr Nivedita Singh, an administrator by profession, who had been a part of their journey through the rough times. Many young doctors have also joined hands to form a platform called BLOODSRUS, under the auspices of MCF, where they are ready to provide comprehensive service for blood diseases to all those who have been deprived of such care until now. The country and its people should utilise this opportunity and grab the change from overwhelming private and indifferent public healthcare.

    The multi-speciality healthcare startup is dedicated to assisting patients right from initial consultations to discharges and follow-ups

    December 8: Uphealth, a multi-specialty healthcare service provider, relieves patients from reaching out to multiple experts and undertaking tedious procedures by offering them end-to-end healthcare services. The startup aims at providing patient-centric and cost-effective services that cover every stage of a patient’s journey as they obtain medical care.

    Uphealth is launched with the intention of organizing the healthcare sector within the country. The platform provides a range of services to the patients under a single umbrella. With a network of 100+ experienced doctors and 50+ hospitals, Uphealth ensures that the quality of consultancy, diagnosis and treatment provided to the patients is never compromised. Currently operational in New Delhi and Bangalore, the venture provides the latest and the most advanced treatments to patients, including laparoscopy, gynecology, proctology, urology, oncology, and laser treatments.

    Uphealth makes sure that the patients are diagnosed by the most suitable doctors and admitted to hospitals that follow all COVID protocols. All one needs to do is visit the company’s website and book an appointment by adding relevant details. Based on the location of the patient and their medical condition, they would be immediately assisted to get diagnosed by an ideal healthcare expert in an ideal hospital.

    The company shoulders the responsibility of handling the entire journey of a patient – from initial consultation to final discharge. Moreover, Uphealth arranges for free pick-up and drop services for patients to prevent any unnecessary commuting delays. Once the patient reaches the hospital, the company would look after their appointments with the diagnostic centers, the tests to be done, the documentation to be carried out, insurance (if needed), pre-booking of OT (operation theater) slots, and all other processes that a patient and their family need to undertake while obtaining quality medical assistance.

    Moreover, once a patient is discharged, Uphealth facilitates a follow-up consultation for free. In addition to its services, the company provides extensive and cost-effective healthcare services to women on a priority basis. This way, the startup manages to provide holistic and wholesome medical support to patients in a hassle-free manner.

    The founders at Uphealth include Vaibhav Sinha, a 25-year-old entrepreneur experienced in the field of marketing and operations, and Dr. Raj Kumar, a senior orthopedic surgeon. Vaibhav believes that their new venture would help stabilize the otherwise disorganized healthcare sector in the country. He says, “Despite having highly qualified and dedicated medical experts, the healthcare sector in the country is pretty fragmented and unorganized. With Uphealth, we are willing to put the patients at the center stage of all our services, tailoring the support provided to them based on their needs and preferences. We have always believed that the dignity of a patient is of the utmost importance. We sincerely hope that our services help more and more patients to walk out of the hospitals with smiles on their faces!”

  • Dr. Uday Tamhankar from Ceramco Dental Clinic Honoured With COVID-19 Warrior Award by Times Applaud

    November 30: The world went through a nightmarish phase in the past couple of years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but there were some really great personalities who worked pretty hard to help others in critical times. Though the majority of us had the privilege of staying indoors with our family members, people with dental issues suffered a lot during this period because all the dentists had no option other than closing their clinics. The reason behind it is the fact that wearing masks was one of the biggest necessities in order to stop the spread of the virus, but in a dental clinic, the mask is the first thing that needs to be removed for treating a patient.

    Dr. Uday Tamhankar, the founder of Ceramco Dental Clinic, which is India’s biggest private clinic, was continuously getting contacted by those who were having dental problems, and he gave a free consultation to each person who contacted him. Dr. Uday Tamhankar helped people like this for around 40 days, but then he strongly felt that something more needed to be done as many of his patients had been suffering a lot because of dental problems and taking antibiotics for a long period can also have a pretty adverse effect on their health.

    It was then that Dr. Tamhankar decided to open his clinic for patients, and we must admit it was quite a courageous decision in view of the fact that many doctors who were around 50 yrs of age were not seeing patients, but Dr. Tamhankar chose to take this initiative even though he is 55 yrs old.

    By the month of May, Dr. Tamhankar devised a plan, and from his own savings, he purchased aerosol box, extra oral suction and HEPA air purifiers filter for keeping his patients and his staff safe from the virus. He devised a system of screening patients for COVID-19 on the phone and then at the entry point of the clinic as he was very much concerned about the safety of his staff members.

    The staff was pretty scared of working in such times, and Dr. Tamhankar understood it pretty well, so he purchased PPE kits for his staff members as well as patients. He also provided his staff members with chloroquine and other homeopathic medicines, which were recommended by leading and senior homeopathic doctors for saving them from COVID-19 and that too, absolutely free of cost. He provided his car and driver free of cost to his staff so that they would be safe from public transport. And he and his wife seldom travelled by rickshaws.

    Dr. Uday Tamhankar is such a noble soul that he gave heavy discounts to some of his patients as he knew that jobs and businesses had been affected adversely in the times of pandemic, and he even treated some people for free who were left with no source of earning. It’s also highly commendable that he paid his staff full salary despite his own earnings being reduced to one-fourth in the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Dr. Uday Tamhankar is certainly an inspiration for not just people of the medical fraternity but all of us as he kept the welfare of mankind above everything else and didn’t even care about his own life. It would be apt to say that people like him keep humanity alive in these times when it feels that people are just concerned about themselves.

    The good thing is that the selfless service and efforts made by Dr. Uday Tamhankar have been recognized, and Times Applaud, the famous and highly esteemed Global Press Release Distribution Network, is honoring him with the COVID-19 Warrior Award 2021. What Dr. Tamhankar did in these tough times is certainly praiseworthy and applauding.

    In order to stay away from negativity, Dr. Uday Tamhankar stopped surfing social media networks and watched only lectures by  Shri. B.K. Shivani and for keeping himself relaxed; he also resorted to Yoga by watching videos on YouTube.

    Dr. Uday Tamhankar founded Ceramco Dental Clinic in the year 1984, and in these 36 years, many patients have been served by him and his team, who have worked on the matter of improving the dental services in India.

    We wish all the best to Dr. Uday Tamhankar for his future endeavours!

  • ‘Immunotherapy’ to treat Autism Spectrum Disorder, Dr A M Reddy’s Autism Centre sparks a new hope

    New Delhi (India), November 29: Most people these days are preoccupied with daily tasks and are unable to cherish the rejuvenating moments with family and loved ones. A definite consequence of the fast-paced lifestyle, especially among nuclear families, has been impaired parenting of children, which can even lead to autism.

    In some kids, however, mischief, stubbornness and impulsive behavior may go beyond what is considered appropriate and be a cause for concern.

    Witnessing the severe cases of autism, often known as an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the problems in the upbringing of autistic children, Dr. A M Reddy, a well-known Homeopathic physician, determined a possible cure.

    The disorder of autism is prevalent with no specific causes

    Autism is a complex disorder marked by difficulties with social skills, repetitive behavior, speech, and non-verbal communication. It is a spectrum disorder, which means that each individual with autism has his/her own distinct set of problems.

    Health experts opine that autism is a hereditary disorder and nongenetic or environmental factors, which appear to enhance the likelihood of a child developing autism.

    There are several subtypes of autism. However, the disorder instances are increasing at a rate of 1 in every 54 people, with no clear reason. The non-specific factors have impeded the development of medicines that aid in the relief of ASD symptoms.

    Dr A M Reddy stays true to Hahnemannian principles to treat Autism

    Given the complex nature of the disorder, Dr. A M Reddy, who is a renowned Homeopathic physician, took it upon himself to explore the underlying causes for ASD in order to develop a potential treatment.

    Dr. Reddy says he visited almost 300 communities, driven by a desire to help the suffering people, to learn about their health issues and ailments at the grassroots level, and to introduce homoeopathy to them.

    Dr A M Reddy says, “Whereas many homoeopaths have deviated from Hahnemannian principles, we have stayed true to them and managed to treat hundreds of people with autism spectrum disorder and other disorders at our Autism Center; using a simple and effective ‘constitutional based’ homoeopathy.”

    Immunotherapy for Autism

    Dr. A M Reddy was pushed by his resolve to help autistic children to come up with, what he calls, the finest immunotherapy for autism spectrum disease after conducting extensive study and research.

    The doctor says his immunotherapy treatment is the latest addition to the other known methods of treating autism with the help of homeopathy medicines that focus on peripheral symptoms like aggression, anxiety, and repetitive behavior disorders.

    With his extensive knowledge, the doctor boasts of treating and relieving numerous children while putting a smile back on their parents’ faces.

    It would not be out of place to mention here that immunotherapy has gained a lot of popularity in recent years, owing to its genuinely astounding results. By enhancing immunity and lowering inflammatory responses in autistic children, the immune system is restored, and autistic signs and symptoms are reduced.

    This highly effective treatment strategy is utilized to improve the lives of autistic children and their parents in a variety of ways. The effects are both rapid and long-term.

    Dr A M Reddy offers free counseling for mothers. Consultation is available digitally via Zoom, WhatsApp as well as Video call. However, an appointment needs to be secured 15 days in advance. If any query call us at +917674004000 or WhatsApp us at https://wa.me/917674004000

  • Keralites are genetically more susceptible to diabetes’ – Research Report on Kerala Scenario was submitted to Kerala Govt and authorities on World Diabetes Day

    Kerala (India), November 15: November 14 is World Diabetes Day. India is the ‘Diabetes Capital of the World’, and the State of Kerala is referred to as ‘Diabetes Capital of India’ owing to the disproportionately large number of Diabetic patients in the nation. Vieroots, which specialises on Health, Wellness, and epigenetic lifestyle modification, have done deep research and have come up with a peer-reviewed study.

    As a part of awareness programs culminating on the World Diabetes Day, we met with and briefed Hon’ble Governor His Excellency Arif Mohammed Khan Ji at Raj Bhavan, Royal Family at Travancore Palace, Former Diplomats and thought leaders including TP Sreenivasan, Colonel RG Nair (Founding member of Defence Institute of Psychological Research, Indian Army). In the convenience of Smt Veena George, the report is to be submitted to the Kerala Govt and the Health Department.  Our team of doctors are also engaging with doctors from various methods of treatment in sensitising them towards this challenge.

    A staggering 85% of Keralites are genetically at risk of magnesium deficiency. The link between magnesium deficiency and diabetes and its consequences has been scientifically proven.
