Case Study No: 139 | Ulcerative Colitis - Sanjiv Kumar

Sanjiv Kumar suffered from Ulcerative Colitis

Around 6 months back Sanjiv Kumar's had loose motions that were subsided after he took a local pill over the counter. He got busy with routine work and forgot all about it. He thought that he must have eaten something strange that had caused the loose motions but the catastrophe was yet to come. After a few days he again had loose motions that didn't go away with the same pill. He consulted a local doctor at Dera Bassi who advised him to go to Chandigarh, which was the closest to Dera Bassi. Even he thought about it and went over there. The doctors at this renowned hospital sensing trouble did his colonoscopy test and asked him to come after 3, 4 days as the reports of colonoscopy test takes 3, 4 days to materialize.

He came after 4 days to this hospital where the doctors claimed that he has got Ulcerative Colitis. The doctor said, "Look Mr. Sanjiv this disease stays for a long period mostly, but in some cases it gets cured within a short span but that happens very occasionally. You might need to keep having this medicine for the rest of your life." "Why doc, is it that crucial, you don't have any steroids that can eradicate this disease?" asked Sanjiv. "We do have the medicines laced with steroids but in most cases people have to eat them for the whole life," replied the doctor. "OK we don't have any other remedy," said Sanjiv. "But these medicines might cause some side effects like a slight headache or the likes don't panic OK?" warned the doctor.

There was no other choice but to have those medicines and he began his medication. His wife Shabnam asked him that what was wrong with him and he told her that he had Ulcerative Colitis. But he had a 4G mobile and he searched for a cure in some other medical lines like Ayurveda, Homeopathy or by Acupressure. He kept surfing and one day he saw a video of a person who got treated for Ulcerative Colitis from an Ayurvedic doctor Dr. Vikram Chauhan at Rajamruth Vaidyashala. He looked genuine and not appeared a false one or uploaded videos to gain the publicity. He watched many more videos of patients getting cured by Rajamruth Vaidyashala from Ulcerative Colitis and many other diseases too.

In fact Rajamruth Vaidyashala has earned a name for itself by providing the pure medicines to its patients of every kind. Actually it is run by a highly qualified association of Ayurvedic doctors, Dr. Vikram Chauhan and his wife Dr. Meenakshi Chauhan, who is a gold medal holder while studying her degree. Both have vigilant eyes while production of medicines is done. First of all they check the raw material that comes in to make these medicines in a solid lab. It is checked that it comes from organic or naturally grown plants and trees. If a defect is found, the whole quota gets rejected without hearing any kind of excuses. Rajamruth Vaidyashala relies on the quality of medicines it makes. This is the reason that it is gaining popularity all over the globe.

He noted down their phone number and dialed and was picked by a sweet sounding lady. He narrated his problem and the lady replied in a positive manner. She asked him to bring all his lab reports and the hospital slips and fixed his date of arrival. She also asked him to come at 9:30am as that was the time when the clinic opens and the doctors examined all patients by serving on first come first serve basis.

He arrived on the fixed date and was impressed by a huge rush of people at their premises. He went straight to the receptionist and introduced himself. The receptionist took out the official pad and wrote his name on it. Then she took him to the doctor's assistant who wrote all the symptoms that he was feeling and he told her honestly. He said that watery content was coming with his stools and he was losing weight, from 74 kg his weight now reads just 62kg. She asked him to wait for his turn.

He sat in the lounge and waited for his turn. "Mr. Sanjiv Kumar" someone called his name loudly at around 2pm and he got up and was ushered in the doctor's room. After the initial greetings the doctor asked him to take a seat opposite him and he did just that.

"Can I see your disease related papers?" asked the doctor. "Sure, here they are" and he pushed his file that he had kept on the table, towards the doctor, who scrutinized the file carefully. After checking the file the doctor asked him to narrate his history, which he did in the most honest manner. While he was speaking the doctor kept scribbling some medicines on his slip and after he had finished, he looked up and said, "You are suffering from Ulcerative Colitis and here are the medicines, take according to the prescriptions written here." And he showed him the slip on which he had scribbled a few moments earlier. "You also need to take care about your diet. I'll give you a diet chart on which there is a list foods to eat and which you should avoid. Stick to the diet chart and very soon your sorrows will fade away," he added. Then he opened a drawer and gave him the diet chart that he studied carefully.
