Query by Poonam:

I am not against these therapies but being a medico I only find their preventive and supportive significance. For curative allopathy has to be in initial phase with slow shift to naturopathy when disease starts coming in control.

Response by Madhur:

Dr. Poonam, good topic to discuss. We all have been there and as you are a medico , you have done a deeper dive and have that kind of belief in the system , may be.

It takes a while, generally a  few months / years to realise how much cure (not just relief) is possible in alternative medication treatments and develop confidence in this system. I have been amazed myself,  especially at the cure of root cause and long term, high quality treatment. 

E.g. I had cough coming up every winter 2-3 times a year. I always took allopathy for decades and it took 1-4 weeks of several syrup,  antibiotic and other medicines to subside, came back again after few months.
Last 4-5 years I am off it , after doing alternative therapy naturopathy and acupressure. The severe cough went away cleanly, completely,  and doesn't come back.
I feel healthy in the throat  region  which I never felt since childhood, while on Allopathy. 

I agree to your point, that only home remedies may not treat chronic or complex diseases completely. We, prescribe therapies for that (E.g. Acupressure, Ayurvedic therapies etc.) and home remedy is supportive care, as you mention.

The concern with medication in my opinion is that it generally suppresses symptoms and supplies chemicals externally but doesn't try to cure root cause to enable restoration of body's functionality.  

While in alternative medicine, the attempt is to find root cause first, 
considering body as holistic and then provide healing so the function is regained. Hence it may become a permanent solution from root cause when a disease is cured completely and serves well in long term.

Query by Poonam:

The body needs cleaning at cellular level to let oxygen reach there. And this is the crux of good health. Disease generally starts at hypothalamus level. 

STRESS causes most ailments. Acupressure naturopathy releases stress. So cure? 

Response by Swaadhin.org:

Acupressure and Naturopathy cleanse the body of toxins as well as release stress, enable energy/blood/oxygen flows in body  as required and enable functionality of  glands, organs etc. Thus, therapy works at multiple levels and yes it can be useful for deep, cell level curing as you mentioned. It might be Hypothalamus, liver or some nerve function etc. any part of body system. 

Query by Sonia:

Untreated uncontrolled diabetes can lead to a lot of issues.  Ayurveda can help pre diabetics,  but slow progression

Response by Swaadhin.Org

It's a myth that all Alternative medicinal therapy is slow and only for lesser stages of diseases.  
Though there are certain complications and emergencies when Allopathy works best and that's advised then,  but otherwise for all kinds of cure, repair and maintenance of human body,  we are treating with Acupressure and finding great improvement generally in 2-3 months for chronic issues and in half that time for acute problems. 
Currently we have a diabetic patient (10-15 years diabetic) ,  whose sugar levels reduced by 50 units within 3 weeks and remained similar below 170 , as he continues doing acupressure self therapy now, as guided. 
All pains reduced / gone, we get such results every now and then.

Query by Reena: 

Do I need to give-up milk ?  

Response by Swaadhin. Org:

At Swaadhin health, we don't generally suggest keeping away from any natural food or drink completely (except for specific diseases or cases). 
Avoid processed, manufactured products,  use as pure and natural as possible, is what we advise. 
Another point to remember is to consume small quantity, minimum needed. 

This enables health and happiness to go along.A life when devoid of multiple good food,  which we love, may become dull.  
We have seen that when health and digestion become better the body can handle different foods -  extract nourishing part and excrete the toxins or redundant portion. We trust this capability of human body from experience with patients and self.
