In last 28 years we have treated more than 1.5 million cases including a variety of difficult and so called incurable disorders. Herewith we are quoting few interesting and difficult cases treated at our centres.

Myopathy ( Duchenne type of Pseudo- Hypertrophic muscular dystrophy )– A boy 10 years of age R/O Sambalpur diagnosed as a case of “Duchenne” at Medical College, CPK was high, Under treatment for last 2 years. gradually improving. A boy 15 yrs old, R/o Hyderabad, under treatment intermittently for last 3 years, gradually improving. CPK has come down from 18300 to 3650. though incurable, the disease process may be retarded or halted in many such cases. Male 20 yrs R/O Aurangabad had waddling gait, wasting of muscles, gradual deterioration, EMG & raised CPK confirmed diagnosis of late onset limb girdle type of myopathy. The patient last 5 years. He can now walk three times more distance than that before treatment. Instead of deteriorating in its normal course, patient is improving.Boy 8 yrs old R/O Kanpur could not get up without support. 4 elder brothers had died due to same disease. In only 10 days of treatment done in our Nasik Camp he could get up without support and walk without falling.Boy 8 yrs old R/O Aurangabad needed support to get up and used to fall while walking.Can now run and get up without support after 4 months treatment. Treatment being continued to prevent recurrence. CPK has become normal.

Some cases improve while further deterioration may be stopped in majority cases. This is incurable genetic disorder according to Modern Medicine so our results offer a ray of hope !

This case was referred to us by a neurophysician who diagnosed it as MND, another physician thought it as Primary Muscle Disease whereas Orthopaedic surgeon had diagnosed it as Cervical cord compression. Acupuncture diagnosis is mainly dependent on pulse, tongue, nail and skin and five element evaluation of the individual. After perfect diagnosis treatment is supposed to work in 15-20 days. This patient was literally lifted to our hospital, 15 days of treatment helped him to walk with support of 2 persons. Further treatment saw him moving alone with little support. At discharge he would walk alone and come on his own from his place to our hospital. Such phenomenal changes cannot be thought of in Modern Medicine. This is progressive incurable disorder according to Modern Medicine still the disease process may be stopped or retarded in majority of such cases. Some cases do improve !

Bulbar Palsy Due to MND – Female 22 yrs R/O Ahmednagar came with oedema on face, difficulty in deglutition, gradual loss of voice and regurgitation of food & water. One course of Acupuncture (28/9/94 – 8/10/94) cured the patient completely. A male 35 yrs R/O Sambalpur, Orissa was unable to swallow even water, was diagnosed as MND at A.I.I.M.S. Delhi.

Cerebellar AtaxiaA Civil Engineer had imbalance while walking with uncontrolled Diabetes Mellitus. His MRI suggested cerebral and cerebeller atrophy. He was always accompanied by 2 persons carrying him to our hospital. The above mentioned case responded well in 30 days of treatment .He could walk with a stick. In the next course he could walk without stick with a little support . Cases of Friedrich ataxia are also frequently seen at our clinic. It is a progressive degenerative disorder of the cerebellum considered to be genetic .Such cases need to be managed properly and the treatment priority has to be given to at least stop the progress of the disease and then look for some reversible changes. Two siblings staying close to our clinic are suffering from this disorder. They come intermittently for treatment. We have succeded in preventing further progress of the disease. Brother and sister had imbalance gait , their mother had the same symptoms and therefore diagnosed Friedrich ataxia. Both of them have undergone Acupuncture treatment . Both of them responded well. Brother was able to continue his duties as a sales manager in a car showroom and the sister could do the household work and walk alone from her home which was 2-3 km away from the hospital. Since this form of disorder is a progressive one patients have to maintain further follow-ups and restart the treatment whenever necessary .

Parkinsonism- 70 yrs retired teacher had slurred speech with tremors in right hand . Use of scalp Acupuncture and treating the five elements is the basis of treatment in parkinsonism. This patient was completely well after 30-40 days of treatment. A Businessman had family history of parkinsonism . The list and the quantity of drugs were adding on and the disease was getting progressed. Acupuncture was used to control the disease.

Inspite of the drugs he used to have episodes of attacks 2-3 times a month .He suffered with several tongue bites Acupuncture diagnosis in epilepsy is mainly dependent on five element study of the case. Perfect diagnosis gives quick results. The number of attacks are reduced during the first course of acupuncture . Further treatments are then meant to reduce the doses of antileptics, this has to be done gradually and cautiously. The above mentioned case was successfully treated, he now runs a courier agency. 32 yrs female R/O Pune was suffering from Epileptic seizures 2-3 times a week . She was not responding even to heavy medication, According to Acupuncture we diagnosed it as Water-Fire imbalance. She was cured in about 6 months.

Trigeminal Neuralgia- A famous artist R/O Hyderabad, had severe pain in tooth being referred over half side of the face. His pain was aggravated on intake of solid food and cold drinks. He could not concentrate on his profession and stopped paintings. Trigeminal neuralgia is the affection of 5th cranial nerve. Carbamazepines are the commonly prescribed drugs in modern medicine. As the pain worsens the dosage of the drugs needs to be increased. Surgery being the other alternative where the affected nerve has to be destroyed with alcohol, Laser etc After 15 days of Acupuncture treatment he could eat rice. He was emotional and could not stop crying. He replied gladly, Sir I could eat rice after 9 mths. Drugs were gradually withdrawn. He made portrait of Prof Sir Dr Lohiya. His paintings are exhibited at many Indian airports . 45 yrs female R/O Aurangabad did not respond to drugs so she came for acupuncture. Response to routine points was not satisfactory so Prof Dr Lohiya took her detailed history. Interesting finding was that she got the attacks on or aroung Full Moon day. Ginger moxibustion was done at point Ruye (which in Chinese means Full Moon) and the attacks stopped for ever. 52 yrs male R//O Nagar was taking 14 tabs of Tegretal 200 mg every day.

The girl had developed suicidal tendency due to the intolerable pain. 7-8 pills of ergotamine tablets at a time would not reduce her pain. Drugs could be successfully stopped after 3 sessions of Acupuncture treatment- 15 days each. Complete control of pain was achieved with Acupuncture .After a attack free period of 2-3 months treatment was stopped. A company worker used to get severe headache and uncontrolled anger during the attack. He decided not to marry if the symptoms are not subsided. . Reduction in the number of attacks due to Acupuncture helped improve his confidence. He had a pain free period of 6 months which confirmed complete cure. 4 yrs later he visited our hospital with his wife and daughter not for migraine but to treat the backache of his wife! This is quite common disorder. According to Prof Dr. Lohiya’s experience, excess “Fire” in the body is the root cause.

Moreover he regained power in the Rt. upper limb. Doctor’s wife had Cervical spondylosis with osteoporosis . She had pain in the neck and upper back since 3-4 yrs. The severity of pain was increasing day by day ,routine work was not possible. Constant use of pain killers gave rise to acid peptic disorder. Within 3-4 days’ of our treatment she was pain free.

Paralysis due to Brain Tumour- A young lady 26yrs was detected with tumour in the brain tissue which was operated . Radiation therapy was given . She had Lt sided hemiplegia.

Overdrunk person is not aware of the position in which he slept , in such cases if the hand hangs at the elbow over any hard object puts pressure on the ulnar, radial or axillary nerve leading to loss of conduction in the nerves leading to paralysis of hand. 10 days treatment is generally sufficient to cure such patient provided treatment is started soon.
