Questions which
hover our Minds …
Whenever we think of Medicine or Medical world, we
right away think of technology & scientific discoveries happening in and
around us.
Well in present age, we find most of the scientists
and researchers and even medical practitioners talk about the technology
induced advances in the field of medicines.
Well most of the think-tankers think of advances we
will see in 5, 10, & 20 years’ time...
Well from my vision the real advances have been done
already, what we lack is the Right vision.
If you would stop for a five minutes, and think
keeping aside the knowledge you read these days.
We are heading towards repeating the history back in
new form and new clothing’s.
Well the point is,
These days most of the research is happening in
Plant medicines. If you think of the oldest origin of medicines, it lies in the
Hindu manuscripts. The AYURVEDA is the oldest form of Medicine world over and
nowadays as the BLOCKBUSTER MOLECULAR MODEL is a thing of past, the real
diamond lies in plants.
In fact the future of medicines will be more
enhancement of the biodiversity and the nature in which we pretty well live
in.
In future, the molecule based medicines will be
replaced by around 50 %. I think that well in coming 10 to 20 years, Plant
based medicines and Ayurveda will replace the global market, by around 70%.
The real gem and the idea is nature has itself has
no side effects of itself. These plant medicines have no side-effects, plus
they help in irradicating the disease deep from the Roots.
I have personally researched on plant medicines, and
discovered that antioxidants and some phytoconstituents have ability to remove
and heal the Ulcers even caused by the microbe named, Helicobacter pylori.
No doubt, chemical based medicines do have ability
to treat and relieve the patient from the deteriorating and rapidly damaging
conditions of the patient’s health. But, if time permits, these ailments can be
very well dealt with the help of phyto therapy and plant medicines.
The future would be like, generating the diagnosis
in and on Real time basis. The future aspect will be more advanced diagnostic
instruments and techniques in order to generate the data super-fast.
This data if generated can help in detecting the
possible occurrence of for say cardiovascular event in the patient well 6 to 10
months in advance. Learning from these data and awareness thanks to super-fast
diagnostic tools, the treatment can be very well started with the help of Churna’s
and Ayurvedic treatment.
Ayurvedic treatment will in future no doubt will monopolize
not only in country of its origin, i.e. India, but the knowledge will spread to
other parts of the world and in every nook and corner.
From my personal experience, my mother had been
diagnosed with Colloid Goiter, around 7 months back. I was worried that my
mother had neck cancer. We went to a GP and went through two common tests; one
was the Neck Ultrasound, and the other Neck biopsy.
To our surprise, the diagnosis was Colloid Goiter.
We went to the well-known surgeon and physician in our city, and he suggested a
surgery as the only option. As allopathy medical world had no other treatment
for this surprising disease than a simple surgery.
Somewhere in my mind, the knowledge and belief on
plant medicines, moved me to take a chance, and we went to Jiva Ayurvedic
clinic.
The doctor an Ayurvedic practitioner looked at the
reports, and suggested taking some bunch of Ayurveda medicines for my mother.
We are in 3rd month of the treatment and
happy to understand and know, that the Colloid Goitre which was about to be
treated by the surgery, has been treated by simple mixitures of Plant
medicines, and ayurvedic churna’s.
Well that’s a small story, and these are occurrence’s
happening slowly but providing an everlasting impression, that yes, the nature
has cure for your disorders, and has every possible solution for your all
medical occurrence’s.
The
future also lies in Nano-technology. Nano-particles are being researched where
they can be used as smart bullets and kill the cancer cells.
Sonia Trigueros, Nano-bio-systems group leader at Oxford
University and former co-director of the OMS Institute of Nanomedicine
suggests, that Nano-medicines and Nano technology will take care of the rapidly
degrading natured diseases in the future…
Highly advanced clinical trials and researches are happening
in this space. Be it cancer, or diabetes, or any other chronic ailment. The
Nano-medicines which can be thought of the size, if you understand that a
normal Newspaper is just about 1000000 nanometers thick, such small particles
are the Nano particles which can be used singularly or together as combination
therapies and can really work wonders, at the Nano level right in the patient’s
body, and that too in the Real time basis.
Medical Diagnostic Industry is advancing at a very faster
pace.
I
can see the future, where more clear and highly Nano biomarkers can be used as
diagnosing tools which can help in understanding the nature of our body not
only at present micro level, but at the real time Nano level.
Nano-Biomarkers
will be soon thing of current situation in the coming 10 to 15 years’ time, and
will completely revolutionize the way imaging and diagnosing world functions in
present situation.
I
wrote a paper few weeks back on Microbiological coding. Well, Medical coding is
present in US, and some of the other countries.. Well I think that
Microbiological coding and Nano coding will also be the thing which would
reflect in coming future in the field of medicine.
Conclusion
Several
points and ideas I do have mentioned in the above lines, but I really believe
that our Karma’s would benefit us in coming future. And we would be our self-doctors.
Personalised
treatments and awareness regarding the diseases and how they function will
really help the generations to come to be smarter compared to the previous versions
