    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    BackgroundChronic pancreatitis (CP) is characterized by irreversible damage to the pancreas, developmentof histological evidence of inflammation and fibrosis, which eventually leads to destruction of

    the exocrine (acinar cell) and the endocrine (islets of Langerhans) tissue.

    Because many patients report of unexplained abdominal pain, the symptom eludes timelydiagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis. Hence, the prevalence of the disease remains unknown. It isinteresting to note that India is home to a large population of patients suffering with ChronicPancreatitis, especially the population from the southern part of the country. However, inwestern countries, in a population of 100, 000, generally, 8 to 10 cases are reported per year,which if compared to Indian population (114-200 cases per year) is a miniscule number.

    Of the many causes of Chronic Pancreatitis, alcohol consumption is majorly linked with thisdisease, except for Tropical Calcific Pancreatitis (TCP), a juvenile form of chronic calcific non-alcoholic pancreatitis and is exclusively reported in the developing countries of the tropicalworld. Tropical Calcific Pancreatitis is more prevalent and constitutes more than two-thirds ofcauses of Chronic Pancreatitis in India. And the mean age of onset of the disease is observed as24 years -affecting more male than female population.

    The pathophysiology of tropical pancreatitis is unknown. Protein-calorie malnutrition, deficiencyof trace elements and micronutrients, and dietary factors including cassava (tapioca) predisposeto the disease. On the other hand, Chronic Pancreatitis is quite fatal in nature. Overall, 10-yearsurvival is about 70%, and 20-year survival is about 45%. Besides posing threat of pancreaticcancer in 40 per cent of patients diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis, it may also cause other

    complications such as pseudocyst, common bile duct obstruction, fistulas and diabetes.

    Genesis of the herbo mineral formulation (HMF)Nearly four decades before Meerut based Vaidya Chandra Prakash formulated a complex compoundusing copper, mercury and sulphur following the guidelines laid down in Rasa Shastra. Coincidently,this formulation was administered to a terminally ill young patient of pancreatic cancer whomiraculously recovered and enjoyed 38 years of disease free survival. Though this formulationworked for a few patients suffering with pancreatic cancer; it was found effective in treating patientsof Chronic Pancreatitis. Eventually patient inflow increased from a few to many from 1997. To retracethe success of this treatment protocol, a detailed analysis of the patient data was done in 2014. It wasfound that out of 56 patients 32 treated using this herbo-mineral formulation completed over a year

    treatment and are leading a symptom free life.Step forwardBased on the empirical success of herbo-mineral formulation in the treatment of ChronicPancreatitis, the treatment protocol was discussed with scientists and policy makers in presenceof beneficiaries patients in an event organized in November 2014 at Dehradun. Following therecommendations made by experts, Honble Chief Minister of Uttarakhand, Shri Harish Rawatagreed to extend logistic and financial support towards the scientific development of thisformulation under the aegis of Uttrakhand State Council of Science & Technology (UCOST).In lieu with the announcement, a project called Development of Herbo Mineral Formulation

    (HMF) for Chronic Pancreatitis was launched in January 2014. The proceedings of this event

    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

    received wide media attention and soon after the event, distressed patients and their familiesapproached our Centre in Dehradun. In this report, we present first hundred cases those whoregistered for Ayurvedic treatment. Our 100th case, enrolled in March 2015, is 10 years old; his

    name is Karthik, a resident of Australia.

    Data Collection and Case StudiesAll these patients who approached us were diagnosed of CP by doctors of repute employedwith world-class hospitals across the country. Modern diagnostic tools and parameters suchas USG, ERCP, MRCP, EU and other were deployed to make accurate diagnosis. During the timeof medical review by our team, it was found that most of these patients had either receivedconventional treatment for a year or more and were in a fragile physical and mental state.

    In this report, we present the data collected from 1997 till May 2015. 58 patients enrolled during 1997 to 2014 42 patients enrolled during December 2014 to May 2015

    A giant leap: on the way to scientific developmentEven though CP can be managed using conventional medical aid, it however, remains a hugechallenge for the medical fraternity to treat it completely. Till date no known cure of CP has beenreported. In such a scenario, the herbo-mineral formulation developed by VCP Cancer ResearchFoundation (VCPCRF) in the treatment of CP has been found sustainable with no side-effects.

    It will take approximately 7 years to near a logistic conclusion from the state sponsored projectDevelopment of HMF in the treatment of CP, a project based on the principles of reversepharmacology. Meanwhile, protocol based Ayurvedic treatment is being made available to

    patients under close observation and long term follow-up as per the guidelines of good clinicalpractices.

    A preliminary analysis is being carried out at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bangalore andIIT Roorkee to test if the end product turns into a compound of oxidized minerals and has notrace of free metal. During the first three years, the multi-step drug processing will documentedusing scientific tools like particle size analyzer to standardize the process from grinding toprogrammed muffle furnacesto provide control heating and non-destructive analysis aftereach stepto understand the sequence of changes as well as to set up benchmark standards.These are all essential steps for reproducibility and future industrial production.

    In the second stage, safety studies (acute, sub-acute and chronic) will be carried out on ratsand mice. In earlier studies, no Grade II toxicity (unpublished data) was reported. Herewith, asystematic safety study will be carried in collaboration with competent institutes. Finally, multi-centric randomized controlled clinical trial will be carried at the State and National level tomerge the benefits of traditional wisdom of Ayurveda into mainstream medicine. I am sure thatsuch efforts are very much needed to take this innovative treatment to the masses.

    PREFACE

    Chronic disease is a long-lasting condition that can be controlled but not

    cured. Persistence of these diseases brings enormous financial and

    emotional stress to an individual and the whole family. Chronic

    Pancreatitis (CP) is one such emerging disease which is diagnosed with

    inflammation of the pancreas that does not heal or improve, worsen over

    time and leads to permanent damage. CP eventually, impairs ability todigest food and to make pancreatic hormones, and sometimes result in diabetes or pancreatic

    cancer. Incidence of CP in India has reached to an alarming situation where almost 114/100000

    people in Southern part has been reported as compared to 3.5-10/100000 of developed countries.

    CP often develops in the most productive age group of 30-40 years, and is more common in men

    than women (4:1).

    The most miserable is the fact that there is no known cause and cure for CP in modern medicine.

    Patients are generally given pain killers, pancreatic enzymes or insulin for life long as preventive

    measure of severity of disease. However, a herbo-mineral formulation (HMF) prepared with Cu, Hg

    and S and some herbs by Vaidya Balendu Prakash has shown remarkable success for complete and

    sustainable treatment of CP. Vaidya Balendu claims that toxicological studies carried out on mice

    have shown its non-toxic nature and processing of metals following the principles of Ras-shastra

    indeed has a role to play in detoxifying the harmful effects of raw Cu, Hg and S. The intriguechemistry of HMF largely remains unknown so far. Recently, the Government of Uttarakhand has

    taken note of this innovation and funded a seven year project, Development of Herbo-Mineral

    Formulation for Chronic Pancreatitis to Vaidya Ji. This project is being done following the

    approach of reverse pharmacology at VCP Cancer Research Foundation, Dehradun, under the

    aegis of Uttarakhand State Council of Science & Technology (UCOST).

    The evidence is required to prove an idea or concept or even a system. Council is of the opinion

    that Ayurvedic drug discovery system need to integrate with modern scientific tools and

    techniques for its evidence based global promotion. Robust documentation of clinical observations

    for Ayurvedic formulations and publication of clinical data need to be encouraged in order to make

    a strong foundation of Ayurvedic drug promotion. Curative effects of HMF in well diagnosed

    approximately 110 patients of CP have been observed and documented by Vaidya Ji for decades in

    his clinical practice. Council is extremely happy to learn that Vaidya Ji is publishing a booklet on his

    efforts towards treatment of chronic pancreatitis using HMF.

    Council wishes him and his team all the success in future endeavors.

    CHRONIC PANCREATITIS

    Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) is an inflammatory disease of the pancreas with irreversible

    morphologic changes. It is characterized by moderate to severe pain in the upper abdomen

    radiating to middle of the back associated with nausea, vomiting, weakness and weight loss.

    Such symptoms might last from hours to two days and eventually could be continuous as the

    condition get worse. Inflammation of the pancreas that does not heal, worsens over time and

    leads to permanent damage. It occurs when digestive enzymes attack the pancreas and nearby

    tissues, causing episodes of pain. It often develops in people who are between the age of 30

    and 40. The symptoms may mimic Pancreatic Cancer as well.

    CP is a global disease and studies depict that the incidences are increasing worldwide. CP occurs

    more often in men than in women and the condition often develops in people of age 30-40.

    However, there are cases where the onset of CP may occur even at a very young age.

    The chronic form of pancreatitis can be triggered by one acute attack that damages the pancreatic

    duct. The damaged duct causes the pancreas to become inflamed. Scar tissue develops and the

    pancreas is slowly destroyed.

    According to available literature, chronicpancreatitis was first described in Kerala, a

    southern state in India and most of the cases

    have been reported from the southern states

    Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.

    However, our patient data reports incidences of

    the diseases from many parts of the country.

    UNSAID FACTS ABOUT CP

    Before starting Ayurvedic treatment, case history was collected for all thepatients enrolled during 1997-2015. Some of our observations revealedinteresting facts that helped in better understanding of the disease. While afew clinical observations were similar to what we already know; a few added toour existing knowledge.

    For example, it is well-known that it is the alcoholics who develop chronicpancreatitis. However, our clinical observations suggest that most of thepatients enrolled with us were vegetarians, non-alcoholic and non-tobaccousers.

    Recently, Vitamin D3 deficiency in Indian population has been reported widely.In February 2015, we also screened patients for Vitamin D3 levels in theirblood. Surprisingly, 90 percent of these patients showed deficiency.Though afew scientific studies* have attempted to study this aspect, the link betweenVitamin D deficiency and chronic pancreatitis is still not well understood.

    PATIENTS PROFILE

    In order to understand basic characteristics of patients who are they and what puts them at risk of

    developing chronic pancreatitis, we tried to analyze the patients data obtained while recording their

    history.

    Chronic pancreatitis is more

    common in men than women

    and is a disease that affects

    productive age group.

    And it afflicted those in the

    age-group 21-35 years and

    45 years & above.

    98 out of the 100 patients enrolled

    with us, primarily complained

    of severe abdominal pain. Other

    symptoms included vomiting,

    weight loss and anorexia.

    From 1997 onwards 100 patients enrolled

    themselves for Ayurvedic treatment at

    Padaav: Speciality Ayurvedic Centre based

    in Dehradun.

    OUR OBSERVATIONS

    Out of 100 patients, 45 percent have

    completed Ayurvedic treatment and

    are now healthy. 50 percent of them are

    on treatment and are responding well.

    However, a small fraction of patients

    (5 percent) have dropped out.

    45 patients out of 100 have completed one year of treatment

    and others are also showing significant improvement in their

    condition.

    Year

    In early years, CP patients were being treated with Ayurvedic formulations for long years.

    Gradually, the duration of Ayurvedic treatment has been customized for one year. It is found

    effective in relieving symptoms of patients as well as in bringing significant change in their

    quality of life.

    Encouraging trend: a large number of patients want to get better and are

    opting for Ayurvedic treatment.

    But after being put on herbo mineral Ayurvedic

    formulations, a significant improvement was seen

    in the quality and span of life among CP patients.

    It is a proud moment to share that our first patient

    who enrolled in 1997, has completed 18 years of

    symptoms free life. He is now leading a normal and

    a healthy life.

    It was also interesting to see that soon after an event Path of Innovation that was organizedat Dehradun in November 2014 to create awareness about the disease; there was a significant

    rise in the number of patients who aspired for Ayurvedic treatment for CP. Here is a glimpse of

    progress report 100 cases from 1997 to 2015.

    Available statistics indicate that the life expectancy of a majority of the patients suffering with

    Chronic Pancreatitis is about 9 years with moderate to severe physical and mental debility.

    GENESIS

    Meerut-based Vaidya Chandra Prakash was a master of Rasa Shastra,whoin his clinical practice used Ayurvedic medicines prepared at his residence

    under the able guidance of his Guru Maharaj ji. He used to put his

    intuitions into practice and developed many new formulations in his life

    time. In 1973, one of his herbo-mineral formulations brought miraculous

    recovery to a terminally ill patient of pancreatic cancer. Thereafter, the

    same formulation completely cured many patients suffering with Chronic

    Pancreatitis. Though these evidences were documented, it was only in

    1997; it was done meticulously.

    Following the data obtained from the clinical observations, details of

    those 45 patients who have completed Ayruvedic treatment,

    is presented here.

    Most of these patients nearly 80 percent of

    them were men, matching with what is known

    from medical literature.

    42 out of these 45 patients

    were non-alcoholic and only

    3 were alcoholic. This data is

    interesting to note because

    Chronic Pancreatitis is known

    as a disease that inflicts

    It was found that all these patients were diagnosed using

    modern diagnostic tools. 17 patients were diagnosed

    through MRCP and 12 through ERCP. Given that, CP is

    difficult to diagnose, MRCP and ERCP are better diagnostic

    tests over CT scan and USG.

    It was observed that 12 out of 45 patients opted for Ayurvedic

    treatment after two attacks, including the ones who suffered

    one, three or multiple attacks. It is indicative that many of thesepatients resorted to Ayurvedic treatment.

    TESTIMONIALS BY BENEFICIARIES

    I was 32 when my pancreas was mildly affected after I contracted chicken pox. And on one fine

    morning I woke up with severe abdominal pain followed by vomiting. This was how I developed

    chronic pancreatitis.

    After being treated at the Orthonova hospital by Dr Manoj Sharma, I got discharged on the 8th day.

    But I kept feeling mild pain every 2-3 months. I consulted many doctors in Delhi. But not a single

    doctor assured me of a permanent cure to chronic pancreatitis. Instead doctors told me chronic

    pancreatitis was a life threatening disease and some doctors even told me that a person with this

    disease could live up to 9 years.

    Days passed and on 8 October, 2014, I got another major attack and found myself in the ICU in

    Max hospital, Saket. Dr Vivaan Talwar was treating me. I got discharged after undergoing same

    treatment as last time. I was still recovering the second attack, when again on 4 December, 2014

    I had my third major attack. This time I was admitted in Medanta hospital in Gurgaon Haryana,under the supervision of Dr Radhir Sud, a renowned name in gastroenterology. There also I

    underwent all the investigations and reporta confirmed that calcification in my pancreas had

    increased compared to last scans. Same treatment was repeated and I got discharged after 4-5

    days, with the same instructions in the discharge summary eat zero fatty food, take small meals.

    I spent hours on internet searching treatment for CP all over the world. I read many blogs and

    comments on many websites to find out the permanent cure to this problem. But I could not find

    even a single person, doctor or hospital saying that they have overcome this problem. Rather I read

    a person could not live more than 7-9 yrs.

    Amidst all this, a few of my friends insisted to try Ayurveda. Though I was not convinced I made a

    Google search and came across a website www.ayurvedapancreatitisclinc.com. After reading all

    the testimonials on this website, I felt convinced and next day, I made an appointment at this Centre

    in Dehradun.

    On 7 January, 2015, I got admitted at Padaav in Dehradun. At Padaav, the in-house treatment is

    based on simple living and healthy living. And it was wonderful to see Vaidya Shabnam ji take

    personal care of each patient. Since then I have completed three months of Ayurvedic treatment.

    I have regained my health and confidence and carry my normal duties both at home and work.

    Left Padaav, Dehradun after21 days; I am happy, condent,

    fear free with lots of hope.

    --Prashanth Kubsad

    10 years ago, I was hospitalized for severe pain in abdomen, thats the first time I got to know

    about the pancreas organ. The doctors diagnosed me with Pancreatitis. Over the years many

    visits to Gastroentrologist, didnt give any confident answer for the cure. I contacted renowned

    gastroentrologist across the globe, one answer no cure. Later, I was diagnosed with stones in

    the pancreatic duct. Even after removal of stones I got a couple of attacks -- and started living

    an uncertain life, fearing the attacks.

    When I had a mild attack recently, I started searching again. With luck on my side, I came across a

    website: www.padaav.com. I was more than excited to learn through this website that a cure for

    Chronic Pancreatitis was available. Without wasting much time I immediately contacted Vaidya

    Shabnamji, who assured that my disease was curable. I was fortunate to have met Padma ShriVaidya Balendu Prakash in Bangalore. After meeting Vaidyaji, my confidence grew and within 15

    days I went to Padaav Treatment Center in Dehradun.

    From the first day, hospitality was amazing. Individual care was given utmost prominence

    from what we eat, what we do and how we respond. Special thanks to Vaidya Shikha Prakash,

    who took special care of patients. After 20 days of in-house Ayurvedic treatment based on the

    priniciples of Rasa Shastra, I am feeling healthy, confident, and living with a healthy life. If you

    are suffering from Pancreatitis, this treatment is like finding oasis in the middle of desert. Its not

    worth suffering, to live in pain but live a fear free life. Good Luck!!

    Seventeen years long pain freesurvival after being diagnosed

    for Chronic Pancreatitis.

    --Amit Garg

    In 1991, I had sudden bout of abdominal pain and vomiting. My family rushed me to MBS MedicalCollege at Kota in Rajasthan. There I underwent a laparotomy and was diagnosed for Acute

    Haemorrhagic Pancreatitis. After four months, I again suffered abdominal pain. I consulted Dr S K

    Sarin at G B Pant Hospital in Delhi. After examination I was told about formation of pseudo cyst in my

    pancreas. Dr Adarsh Chaudhary removed that cyst. Afterwards, I I remained well for six years.

    In 1997, I developed Diabetes Mellitus. An ultra sound and MRI showed calcification and multiple

    stones in my pancreas. I also had three to four episodes of mild abdominal pain and indigestion. I

    tried with few consultants but didnt get any relief. At this juncture, some family friends suggested

    me to consult Vaidya Balendu Prakash at Dehradun.

    I started Ayurvedic treatment with Vaidya ji from 31/03/1998. He gave me few of his own prepared

    medicines with dietary advice. I responded well and my symptoms came back to normal. I continued

    these medicines for three years on daily basis. I have got major relief in my digestion and abdominal

    pain. I didnt notice any side effect of given treatment. However, I still continue to suffer with Diabetes

    Mellitus (Type II) and calcification and stones in my pancreas remain as it is. (No progression)

    Today (25th June, 2015), I met Vaidya ji after many years. I am very happy to see many patients of

    chronic pancreatitis being treated at his campus. I am also very glad to know about the ongoing

    drug development programme on Chronic Pancreatitis with the help of Department of Science and

    Technology, Government of Uttarakhand. I wish all CP patients fast recovery and good luck to Vaidya

    ji and his team in their endeavours.

    May 2013. In this span of one and a half year he was hospitalized many times and lost about 30 kg.

    The whole family was in the state of mental trauma due to his deteriorating health day by day and in

    course of time, there were other complications too.

    At this critical juncture, my father-in-law happened to meet Shri R.S. Agarwal ji (Joint Chairman of

    Emami Group) and shared his mental agony with him. Shri Agarwal spoke very high about Vaidya

    Balendu Prakash of Dehradun. Without losing any time, Shri Agarwal asked us to meet Vaidya Shikha

    Prakash (D/o Vaidya Balendu Prakash) at AMRI Hospital. He assured all of us that Vikas would be

    completely cured.

    We met Vaidya Shikha on the 20th December, 2014 at AMRI. She patiently replied to all our queries

    after examining the patient. She also explained her line of treatment and sounded very optimistic.

    There was a ray of hope and we decided to switch over to Ayurveda from Allopath.

    He was admitted for 21 days in AMRI under the supervision of Vaidya Shikha Prakash. His stay at AMRI

    was a phase of ups and downs, but Vaidya Shikha was so very positive, dedicated and confident that

    the results were indeed encouraging.

    She was available 24x7 and looked into the details very minutely. She counseled not only the patient

    but each one of us. She laid emphasis on Protein based diet. There is a list of Dos and Donts which

    we are supposed to follow.

    As on this day my husband has completed 4 months of ayurvedic treatment. He has gained 11 kg

    weight and its indeed encouraging to see that USG and Blood reports are nearly normal now.

    For this myself and my family would like to thank Vaidya Shikha and of course our heartfelt gratitude

    for Shri R.S Agarwal ji.

    We are at loss of words to express our feelings and gratitude but a big thank you from all of us.

    Nobody has seen GOD but for us YOU BOTH ARE EMISAARY OF GOD

    I take this opportunity to thank AMRI for their more than 100% help, support and co-operation.

    I am 29 years old, a government employee. From past 4 years, I had been suffering from chronic

    calcified pancreatitis and was undergoing allopathic treatment. Medication included Creon 25000

    TDS and pantaprazole OD.

    I read about Vaidya Balendu Prakash ji through internet on March 2014 and reported in Padaav

    Ayurveda Centre at Dehradun on 29 June 2014. Before reporting I got my blood test done on 06

    June 2014 wherein results were alarming, I was diagnosed with high blood sugar fasting : 185 , PP:

    275 and I started taking 01 tab Pioglit MF15 to control my sugar level as per doctors advice Uric acid:

    8.2 Triglycerides : 190. These reports made me rush to Vaidyaji.

    On the day of reporting i.e. 29 June 2014 I was counselled by the staff and was assured that my

    pancreatitis and diabetes originated due to pancreatitis will subside and get fully cured and my

    medication got started along with regularised six meal diet and special ayurvedic medicine in-house

    treatment. Most important was my Creon 25000 tablet which I was told by allopathy doctors to take

    life-long was stopped from day 1.

    I took in-house treatment for 14 days at Vaidyajis hospital and then returned back to my job. I followed

    the directives of medicine and diet strictly thereafter. After one month of Ayurvedic medication I got

    my blood test done again and I was astonished to see the result. Report is as follows:

    Sugar Fasting: 90, PP: 116, Triglycerides: 124, Uric acid: 4.3

    My allopathic medicine for sugar was converted to half tablet of Mopaday HS once a day which is

    1/4th the power of Pioglit. On 03 September again I got the blood test done and again my results are

    normal. Now I have been directed by Vaidyaji to stop Mopaday HS totally. I am undergoing treatment

    of Vaidyaji and I have found it miraculous and very effective. Next, I am waiting to see the result of my

    chronic calcified pancreatitis getting cured and I am sure that will also happen soon. I cannot reveal

    my identity on internet due to some official reason.

    My name is Gopal Mehtani. Now, I am 45 year old and live with my family in Ahmadabad. I had

    been a heavy smoker for twenty years, consuming twenty cigarettes a day. I was also fond of

    very spicy non-vegetarian food and alcohol. My body weight has reached to eighty-five kg at

    this time. In August 2003, my age was 34 years, when for the first time, I developed severe pain

    in my upper abdomen and back with frequent vomiting. I consulted Dr. Haribhakti, a surgical

    Gastroenterologist who made a diagnosis of Duodenal Ulcer after carrying an endoscopy and

    started my treatment accordingly. Though, I stopped smoking, I continued taking alcohol during

    this treatment. Meanwhile, I travelled to Delhi to attend a marriage party where I became seriously

    ill with severe abdominal and back pain with vomiting. There, I was hospitalized for fifteen days

    and I was diagnosed as a patient of Acute Pancreatitis . Later, I visited Hinduja Hospital in Bombay

    who confirmed the diagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis and my treatment was started for the same

    at Ahmadabad under Dr. Vijay Mehta, M.D. (Med.), D.M., DNB (Gastroentrology).

    However, I had no respite from the episodic attacks of vomiting and abdominal pain. By this

    time, I had lost nearly Twenty kg weight in seven months (March 2004). At this point, some cysts

    also formed in my Pancreas. I was again admitted in hospital for fifteen days and all the cysts

    were drained out. But my problem continued to persist. Lastly in December2004, I was brought

    to Dr. Randhir Sood (senior gastroenterologist) at Ganga Ram Hospital, Delhi.

    There I underwent ERCP and stent was placed in my Pancreatic Duct. This treatment kept me well

    until August 2005, when I suffered with another attack of Pancreatitis. My stent was removed and

    the diagnosis of Chronic Pancreatitis was re-established. I remained asymptomatic until March2006.

    This time I visited Delhi to attend a business exhibition and this stress caused another episode of

    abdominal and back pain. I consulted Dr. Sood in Delhi who again induced ERCP stent. He also found

    some calcification in my pancreatic duct and made the diagnosis of Calcific Chronic Pancreatitis.

    The whole family was frightened with the progression of my disease and they took me to Asian

    Gastro Institute in Hyderabad for expert opinion. There, another stent was placed in my pancreatic

    duct in September2006. This procedure was also short lived and I suffered with another attack In

    November2006. I was treated with a new stent at Stephen Hospital, Delhi.

    By February 2007, my condition had worsened further. I had experienced several attacks in last

    four years in-spite of getting best treatment in India. My body weight had reduced to forty eight kg

    with an aggregate loss of Forty three kg in total. I had also become very weak physically and mentally

    and was not able to carry my business activities. Apparently I had lost all hopes for my life.

    In early 2011, I started suffering with sticky stool, coating, excessive thirst, and used to wake

    up with cold, recurrent pain in abdomen, poor appetite and gradual weight loss. Initially I was

    treated in Bangalore and later on was referred to Asian Institute of Gastrology, Hyderabad. An

    ERCP established the diagnosis of CP. At the same time a PD stent was also placed. After few

    months, I again had severe pain and one more stent was placed in my pancreatic duct. I became

    very weak, desperate and almost physically and mentally handicapped.

    I had lost hope until I started Vaidya Balendu Prakashs treatment. I started observing great

    improvement in anorexia and pain within a week. I stopped losing weight after Vaidyajis

    treatment. After this treatment I remained asymptomatic until August 2014, after which I

    developed mild pain. But now I am asymptomatic and live a happy and normal life.

    I had been a chronic alcoholic for 25 years until I developed deep jaundice in May 1999. I was

    taken to PGI Chandigarh where I was diagnosed for Chronic Calcific Pancreatitis with endocrine

    and exocrine insufficiency with a mass lesion in the head of pancreas and stricture in common

    bile duct. Here, I was treated with IV fluids, pain killer and antibiotics.

    I remained well for fifteen months.

    In August 2000, i suffered with acute pain in my upper abdomen which was radiating to back with

    strong nausea. I was treated locally by a gastroenterologist with I/V fluid and pain killer for few

    days. Afterwards,I used to have continuous and dull pain in my back and upper abdomen with an

    unexplained weakness and gradual weight loss. This all affected my quality of life badly. I was admitted

    into AIIMS, Delhi (CR- 639186) from 13/02/2001 to 28/02/01. The CECT and MRCP of abdomen reconfirmed the diagnosis of chronic Calcific Pancreatitis. I was treated with Pain killer, antibiotics and

    IV fluids. At this juncture, I was also recommended for some surgical procedure which I refused and

    came back to my home town in Jammu.

    Meanwhile, I heard about Vaidya Balendu Prakash at Dehradun. I contacted him and reached

    to his clinic on 21/04/2001 in a shabby state of body and mind. My body weight was reduced

    from 68 kg to 55 kg and I had become an insulin dependent diabetic patient. Vaidya ji treated

    me with some dietary and life style modifications along with his own prepared medicines called

    Kamdudha, Amar and Higwasthak Churna.

    I responded well to his treatment from the day one and gained 3.5 kg body weight within six

    weeks of Ayurvedic treatment. My daily insulin intake also reduced to 36 units/ day from 42

    units/day. My weight also increased to 62 kg after one year long continuous treatment.

    Now, I am 58 years old and I have completed twelve years after Ayurvedic treatment. My health

    is good and I didnt experience any pain or discomfort afterwards. I didnt feel any adverse effect

    of Vaidyajis treatment.

    I was born in a middle class family in Agra. We are strict vegetarian, non tobacco and non alcoholic. I

    lost my father when I was eleven years old. He was a teacher and my mother is a housewife. I started

    earning from the age of fourteen due to financial constrain by giving tuitions in my home town.

    When I turned nineteen I developed anorexia (loss of appetite, indigestion, weakness and gradualweight-loss). Local doctors treated me for digestion with enzymes, vitamins and anti-amoebic

    medicines. Those had partial impact on my health for a while. But I continued to lose more weight

    and also developed continuous pain in the middle of my back. On the advice of Dr. Mukesh Garg, a

    renowned surgeon of Agra, I underwent ultrasound of my abdomen on 30 Aug 2011. The tail region

    of the pancreas depicted irregular outline with multiple small calcifications in the parenchyma.

    He told me that I had been suffering with chronic pancreatitis and prescribed Panilipase with each

    meal for rest of my life. I read about this disease and was very scared as chromic pancreatitis (CP)

    could be lifelong treatment and it may be life threatening at any point in life more over there was no

    known cure for that.

    Somehow one day I read a story of a patient on internet who had CP and recovered completely

    after undergoing Ayurvedic treatment from Dehradun based Vaidya Balendu Prakash. I contacted

    his office and reached there on 31 March 2012. I was examined by Vaidya Naveen Sharma who

    prescribed me three types of ayurvedic medicines with certain dietary and life style modifications.

    He stopped all ongoing allopathic medicines.

    There was an instant relief in my back pain within a weeks time after this treatment. I started feeling

    energetic as well. Now I have completed one year of ayurvedic treatment. During this tenure, I

    received treatment periodically from Vaidya jis clinic.

    Now I feel absolutely normal and carry all duties. I didnt experience any adverse or side effect of his

    treatment. Today I am happy as Vaidya ji has stopped my treatment for CP and have asked me to start

    I was 32 when my pancreas was mildly affected after I contracted chicken pox. And on one fine

    morning I woke up with severe abdominal pain followed by vomiting. This was how I developed

    chronic pancreatitis.

    After being treated at the Orthonova hospital by Dr Manoj Sharma, I got discharged on the 8th

    day. But I kept feeling mild pain every 2-3 months. I consulted many doctors in Delhi. But not a

    single doctor assured me of a permanent cure to Chronic Pancreatitis. Instead doctors told me

    chronic pancreatitis was a life threatening disease and some doctors even told me that a person

    with this disease could live up to 9 years.

    Days passed and on 8 October, 2014, I got another major attack and found myself in the ICU in Max

    hospital, Saket. Dr Vivaan Talwar was treating me. I got discharged after undergoing same treatmentas last time. I was still recovering the second attack, when again on 4 December, 2014 I had my

    third major attack. This time I was admitted in Medanta hospital in Gurgaon Haryana, under the

    supervision of Dr Radhir Sud, a renowned name in gastroenterology. There also I underwent all the

    investigations and reporta confirmed that calcification in my pancreas had increased compared

    to last scans. Same treatment was repeated and I got discharged after 4-5 days, with the same

    instructions in the discharge summary eat zero fatty food, take small meals.

    I spent hours on internet searching treatment for CP all over the world. I read many blogs and

    comments on many websites to find out the permanent cure to this problem. But I could not

    find even a single person, doctor or hospital saying that they have overcome this problem.

    Rather I read that a person could not live more than 7-9 yrs.

    Amidst all this, a few of my friends insisted to try Ayurveda. Though I was not convinced I made

    a Google search and came across a website www.ayurvedapancreatitisclinc.com. After reading

    all the testimonials on this website, I felt convinced and next day, I made an appointment at this

    Centre in Dehradun.

    On 7 January, 2015, I got admitted at Padaav in Dehradun. At Padaav, the in-house treatment is based

    on simple living and healthy living. And it was wonderful to see Vaidya Shabnam ji take personal care

    of each patient. Since then I have completed three months of Ayurvedic treatment. I have regained

    my health and confidence and carry my normal duties at home and work.

    In 2006, I was 18 when for the first time, I was hospitalized it was chronic pancreatitis, the doctors

    said. Thereafter, I knew I had to live with this disease till I breathe my last. But things changed, and

    today at 26, I am leading a healthy and painless life.

    My journey with pancreatitis was painful periodic episodes of unbearable abdominal pain,

    numerous hospital visits and repeated medication, until I came to Padaav Ayurvedic Centre in

    Dehradun. And I must say, Padaav is not just a hospital but is a true care centre.

    Before coming to the Centre, this disease affected me and my family financially, morally,

    psychologically and socially. Actually very little is known about this disease among general

    public and research on pancreas is not available in the public domain. So I started collecting

    information about pancreatitis from internet and met different doctors. Based on this knowledge

    my whole family made significant dietary changes and switched to yoga. With these changes I

    did not get a single attack for almost 2 years. And in summer of 2009, I went to Germany for an

    internship. But I had to return to India. I got another attack.

    Immediately after coming to India, I made a visit to Dr Shiv Sarin, a renowned physician at the

    GB Pant Hospital in Delhi. Dr Sarin suggested implanting a stent in my pancreatic duct along

    with a few medications. A stent was implanted through ERCP but failed to prove beneficial. I got

    another attack while undergoing ERCP and the stent also went away after some time. At this

    time doctor declared that my acute pancreatitis had converted into chronic pancreatitis.

    In 2010, I went to Mumbai for higher education but sudden change in lifestyle and diet I gotanother attack but after this for the next two years had no attacks. I was back on diet management

    and yoga. By 2012, I was back in Jaipur, my hometown. However, in January 2013 I got another

    attack. Frequent attacks now started bothering me. I was put on nine tablets of Pancrelipase

    every day for life long duration. I was very scared of my disease and I read extensively about it

    on the internet. Coincidently, I heard Dr MS Valiathan during a lecture. After the lecture I got in

    touch with him over email and he suggested contacting Dr GG Gangadharan in Bangalore, who

    introduced me to Padam shri Vaidya Balendu Prakash who has successfully treated many cases

    of Chronic Pancreatitis.

    I then visited his website and read a testimonial by Ankur from New Delhi, who recently underwent

    treatment for chronic pancreatitis offered by Vaidyaji. After reading Ankurs testimonial I decided

    my morale and encouraged me to undergo Ayurvedic treatment.

    And in January 2014, I went to consult Vadiyaji in Dehradun. Within few days after startingVaidyajis medication pain in upper abdomen disappeared, a pain that doctors said would have

    remained with me thorough out my life.

    During my stay at Padaav, I found in-house facility to be amazingly hospitable. It is not a hospital

    but a care centre where patients are given homely treatment. During this 1 year course I have

    followed strict diet schedule along with daily exercise. Along with this I did meditation also

    which also added to better result.

    I have taken treatment for 1 year and many changes have come in me during the course of 1 year.

    Firstly, my confidence level has increased. Today after meeting with some many patients at Padaav

    centre I dont find myself to be the only one suffering from pancreatitis. Secondly, my weight during

    this 1 year has increased. Thirdly, earlier when I use to eat fatty food there was lot of indigestion

    but now I eat fatty food in limited quantity there is no indigestion. Fourthly, earlier I was having

    a problem of sticky stool but now there is no such problem. Last but most importantly, I recently

    got my pancreas scanned through USG. Radiologist has inferred that my pancreas has healed to a

    significant level. She has also admitted that she did not have any clue of pancreatitis from USG. She

    came to know only after I told her that I am suffering from pancreatitis.

    Vaidya Jis treatment is based on the concept of Aahar-Vihar-Aushadh. So patients who want

    to take ayurvedic treatment must keep in mind that medicine is only a part of the treatment. If

    one wants to treat fully he must check his dietary habits (aahar) and lifestyle (vihar) along withmedicine (aushadh).

    Golden Hospital at Rohini under Dr. S.P. Demble. He was treated with IV fluids, pain killer,

    antibiotics and antacid for three days. The laboratory investigation showed elevated serum

    amylase in his blood. Here, for the first time, he heard the word of Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) in his

    life. He remained well for 18 months and in January 2002 while he was visiting Moga (Punjab).

    Once again he had severe pain in upper abdomen. This time he was admitted under Dr. B K

    Goel at Apollo Hospital for three days and improved after receiving IV fluids, painkiller and

    antacids. Later, he experienced six more episodes of CP between January 2003 and July 2011.

    During these years he was treated by renowned gastroenterologists at Apollo, Fortis and AIIMS,

    Delhi. By this time he lost 14 kg body weight and developed profound weakness at mental and

    physical level. At this stage he was referred for Ayurvedic treatment by one of his neighbor andhe was admitted for first few weeks at Dehradun on 22nd August, 2011. He has completed 2

    years of ayurvedic treatment with substantial improvement at all levels. The last MRCP dated 6

    May 2013 still shows signs of CP. However, he is clinically asymptomatic with no adverse effect

    of ongoing ayurvedic treatment.

    I am non alcoholic and non tobacco user. In 2000, I developed severe pain in abdomen with

    vomiting. I was admitted at CMI Hospital Dehradun, under Dr, Sanjay Saxena DM Gastroentrologist.

    He advised certain blood test, ultrasound, CT scan & diagnosed me for CP. He put me on daily

    doses of painkillers and pan lipase three times a day for rest of the life.

    However, my condition was worsening. I had lost 12 kg weight and about sixty episodes of

    abdominal pain & vomiting in two years of time. I was very scared and frightened with the

    prognosis. My husband consulted many hospitals in Lucknow and Delhi.

    After deliberate search we consulted Padmashri Vaidya Balendu Prakash on 24 May, 2002. He

    treated me with his medicines and dietary advice for one year and stopped all my previous

    treatment. I did not observe any side-effects of his treatment and regained my health and 10kg

    of body weight. I also delivered a healthy baby after Vaidya jis treatment. I am very thankful to

    the almighty and Vaidya ji.
