good luck and take care of him

Hello liz, I think you had written the post for me. I don't come too often on this forum now.


The herbal medicines we had taken was from Dr. Sangita from India. My cousin is still using it and now she is completely on herbal medicines only. Initially She was on Methotrexate when she started taking the herbal medicines. She took both the conventional and herbal medicines together and slowly as her condition improved, she is totally on herbal medicines only. Now her condition is good and doesn't complain about pain, inflammation or any other issues. Her blood test has also come normal and the RA factor is in the normal range. She has started going to the gym now, but has been advised not to do too much at the gym. We are also in contact with the GP so that if any side effects can be found and treated early. But till date only positive changes has been noticed.

Regarding the cost... It came to me at 60 USD or say 40 GBP for one month which included the consultation fee. It also included some medicines for mouth ulcers, digestive issues and some gynec problems.

She has been using it for the last 2 and half months and shown good progress. And the best thing i liked about them is that they never asked for any advance payment.

Hope this helps.

Trina, i have posted it just because 1 user asked for it. If you find it against the rules of the forum, you can delete the post.

Thanks

Hiya Liz,
I have researched Dr Sangita extensively as I am concerned about their claims....
The company is Natural Cure and the clinic based in Hyderabad in India... But the consultation apparently was held in USA as figure was quoted in dollars, either that or Panther's cousin went to india for her consultation.
Also I would like to mention that Dr Sangita and Panther have both posted on this forum before and there is a bit of indecision as to whether they are one and the same or 2 people working together, I am not saying that this is definitely the case and I may have jumped to the wrong conclusion on that matter.
On the herbal Care website they claim to have cures for absolutly every disease and ailment going, if this was true surely we would be well aware of it in this country.
I am not saying in any way that herbal suppliments cannot help relieve some conditions and different people react to treatments in different ways.
On the blood tests I didn't show any Rheumatoid factor at all but still have been diagnosed with seropositive Rheumatoid Arthritis, and don't show high ESR levels either even though my fingers are like a bunch of bananas etc.
I can fully empathise with the pain levels that are being felt by your partner and sincerely hope that with the right treatmeant they can be controlled and as bsk said there is always remission. RA presents itself in many different forms in different sufferers.
In all I am asking you to be carefull before entering into any treatment offered through the net unless verified by professionals that you can run thorough checks on and not just testimonials from supposed clients.
Take care xx

Panther may i ask how exactly did your cousin have the consultation. I can only find Dr. Sangita in India. Did your cousin go there or consult via the Internet? I am just curious as to how it works. I do not seem to find any contact information about this Dr?. This is why your kind of claims cannot be taken to seriously. I just think as this was dealt with a while back the thread should finish.

Hello Dilizjo

Your concerns are totally valid. In fact we were much more apprehensive about using the herbal medicines and that too from such a distance. I think our experience may be of your help.

Basically i am a software engineer and working at Boston, USA in a big S/W company. My cousin too stay with us as we live in a joint family. We had not only tried Dr. Sangita's medicine but also some Acupuncture, Chinese plaster, Fish oil, Yoga, thai massage and a lot many things. But didn't got much results. When Dr. Sangita posted her message in this forum i silently started following her. And tried my best to bring her and start some discussion on herbal medicines in this forum itself. But i didn't got much support and i left that exercise.

Then i followed her on another site called WDDTY (What Doctors Don't tell you). There i found some fight between two bigwigs. One Heidi advocating bioptron and the 2nd one being Dr. Sangita of Herbal Medicines. And there she had openly challenged that she can show the difference in just 1 week time in any type of Arthritis. And for this one week the medicines were also free. I had also heard a lot about thousands of years old herbal medicine system ayurveda, etc. So i grabbed this opportunity and asked her to send medicines for my cousin.

And while waiting for the medicines, i asked her to provide some reference of people who had used her medicines. She happily provided me 2 - 3 reference from Boston itself. They were very much satisfied with the treatment. So all my doubts got cleared.

She send us the medicines by post at our Boston address and after using it for 1 week my cousin felt lots of difference in her pain and inflammation.

When we see the quick and good results, i immediately placed order for 3 months of medicines. But she politely refused and said that she has to monitor the progress and change the herbal composition according to the condition. And the best thing will be to send it on monthly basis only.

This is her third month of herbal medication and now her condition is much much better and she is completely on herbal medicines. And as bsk has said sometimes the patients go into remission. I pray to lord almighty, my cousin's RA goes into remission for life.

I am not saying you to blindly go and order the medicines. Do your own inquiry. Ask her to give some reference of people who have used her medicines. Talk to those people, If you wanna meet them go and see them personally. And then decide to go ahead or not.

Thanks for lending me your ears.

From the dialouge Panther uses I am not sure if he/she is suppose to be American or not.Does it sound like a sales pitch, sure it does. I don't want to get into this as it has all been said before this is not the place to be selling anything. Shiffy it sounds like the answer to your question is yes. Far from me to be experienced in this kind of thing but to monitor you from a different country sounds wrong.Well i guess everyone has to make up their own minds. This is just my thoughts!!!!!!

Subject: Re: plz help me

Hi Panther, I hope your cousin has gone into remission but my point is that people can spontaneously go into remission, not necessarily from treatment (but also from treatment too.)

One of the things your cousin should be very aware of is that the disease can still be causing damage to her joints even when she is not displaying any symptoms or any any pain. This can happen when you go on an arthritis diet too. People think they are cured but, in fact, the disease progression is the same. It is vital that people reading about alternative treatments are aware of this fact. Once your joints are damaged there is nothing that can be done to reverse it, apart from joint replacement in some cases.

It might be me but the initial post seems a "starter" post to continue the usual selling stuff on here and the same name Dr Sangita pops up.

He cant consult when he cant see the patient and there is no cure just alternative medicine that might help certain people but certainly isnt a wonder drug!

All herbal remedies should be consulted with a GP as you never know what will affect other drugs and treatments.

Could be a legit post but......

First of all Panther I would like to thank you for your polite reply, as you will have read on this forum a couple of weeks ago we had a very aggresive 'salesperson' ( I do have other names for them but they are innappropriate for this forum) trying to sell their product and in all honesty was using the name Naturalcare in their email address, so you have to appreciate the sceptisism of the forum members.
bsk has pointed out a very good point... and in my opinion masking the pain fully is also leading to joint and organ damage that may be taking place to go unnoticed which is not a good thing.
Consultations should be on a face to face basis so that the joints etc can be physically manipulated to assess any damage...
Is your cousin still seeing a Rheumatologist? I hope so

Yep Mia it is normal, well for me it is I get the short sharp electric shock pain quite a lot.

kk that's me done now take care all xx

Well... no point saying anything. If my cousin feels well, her blood reports are saying normal and the GP doesn't find any problem, then there is no point for me to be susceptible. If there would be any problem, i am sure her GP can find it out and refer her to the rheumy.

And regarding face to face consultation.... In which century you all are living???? Remote surgery was performed in 2001 itself... don't underestimate the power of technology.

And sorry friends i won't be able to contribute more on this topic. If you have any questions and concerns, you can google and ask the concerned person yourself. I may not be the best person to answer your queries.

Take care.

Well said Marlene. I did not realize that software had been developed to such an extent that it can actually examine you physically and diagnose, what a wonderful revelation.... So now if I get a painful tight pain across my chest I don't need to phone an ambulance, all I have to do is log on to find out if I am having a heart attack or severe indigestion...... What a wonderful progressive age we live in....
OK sarcasm over with now as Marlene says folks please be very aware of any sales pitch that promises miracle cures. Research well and don't take testimonials written promoting what the cure has done for them on a cheap website as they are most probably the milkman, cleaner and anyone else that works for Dr Sangita.

出於好奇,我也去她的網站,看到所有的圖片,測試報告和推薦。我不覺得它篡改。我不能就其用法,因為我們沒有任何與他們的產品經驗。但是可以肯定的,我可以告訴大家,你也沒有自己的產品的經驗。我們有很多問題的中藥材和他們有工作。所以你不能只是垃圾這一切。據我所知,大多數的慢性問題,傳統的藥物是沒有多大用處。你可以看到這裡的許多人的經驗。他們使用的是這麼長時間的常規藥物,但仍不能治愈。

Hehe I am going to translate,

Here is the translation:)

You mean to say she had the milkman, cleaners, her work with other people around the world, she is managed from India? ? I do not know how many of their products, but had gone too far, need your criticism.

Out of curiosity, I also go to her website to see all the pictures, test reports and recommendations. I do not think it is tampered with. I can not on its usage, because we do not have any experience with their products. But be sure, I can tell you that you do not have the experience of their products. We have many problems of Chinese herbal medicines and they are working. So you can not just trash it all. As far as I know, most of the chronic problems, traditional medicines are of little use. You can see here the experience of many people. They are so long using conventional drugs, but still not cured.

Oh dear I think I have hit a nerve.

Ok Li, If you read my post carefully you will see that it is not criticism it is saying do not believe everything you see written on the websites regarding their wonderfull products as they can be written by anyone, using the words milkman, cleaner etc were just examples. I could put a picture on a website of a 21 year old beauty with a perfect body etc and say it was me.... oh dear would definitely not like to see your face when you met me... I'm completely the opposite...
If you look at the post I posted on 25/09/2011 I said and I quote "I am not saying in any way that herbal suppliments cannot help relieve some conditions and different people react to treatments in different ways." I think this made it very clear that I am open minded to the idea of herbal medicine. What I do not condone is the way the marketing of these products is being carried out. It is clearly stated on this website that trying to sell products is inappropriate and should not be done. If people have found this forum they also have the tools to research such things as herbal medicine and any benefits they may have for their condition.
I notice from your posting it is possible for you to communicate in English as you have typed my name so in future it would be polite and respectful not to write your post in chinese as this is an english speaking forum.

I hope I have made myself clear on all the points you have made, and if you read all the posts there are people that have issues they wish suppot with.

Oh Dear, please Li, no one ever mentioned chinese medicine. Can i just say there are so many ailments that cannot be cured by conventional medicine or Herbal potions and Lotions. What we are trying to avoid on this chat forum is people paying costly sums for things that do nothing at all. Chinese remedies cannot be bought anywhere but from your shops, Dr Sangitas wonderful products i say this loosely can be found in supermarkets everywhere at a lot less cost. We do not need salesman on this forum its not what is for. If we needed supplements you can be rest assured our GP or Rhumy teams would advise us to do this.Thankyou for your input. The criticism belong with the pushy sales people.Have a nice day and Take Care

Out of curiosity, me too went to her site and see all the pics, test reports and testimonials. I don't feel its doctored. I can't advise on its usage because we don't have any experience with their products. But for sure i can tell that you too don't have the experience of their products. We have used Chinese herbal medicines for many problems and they have worked. So you can't just rubbish it all. As far as i know, for most of the chronic problems, conventional medicines are not of much use. you can see it from the experience of many people here. They are using the conventional medicines for such long time and still not being cured.

yes some of the conventional medications don't work for some people but we look for another and another but if you asked us to try without the big expense it will cause us we may try it but we don't like the attitude and the wonderful statements from people whom still can tell us all the details e.g panther.

Hi everyone

I been reading these posts and i think if someone is genuinely trying to help someone with conditions like ours, we should welcome them as long as the products or services do not seem dodgy or not tried or tested. No one can force someone to use the product if you dont want to.

Its a suggestion and alternative to who ever feels its right for them.

No need for harsh criticisms from anyone really.

But the question is, Shiffy, are they 'genuinely try to help someone?' Or are they flogging products, which is banned on here?

I do feel this forum is a place where people should be able to express a different point of view and, quite rightly, point out, or criticize (if you like), what they feel are misleading, inaccurate, or disingenuous posts or sources of info.

Personally, I feel I have a responsibility to other forum users to point any of the above that I think could possibly be harmful and give my perspective on it and anyone can disagree. So please don't tell me not to, whether the items are 'dodgy or tried and tested' or not. 'Genuine' people don't force their treatment plan on other posters here. We all have respect for the paths that others have chosen. This is not the place for people to drip feed their alternative treatments/products or ideas with a view to getting sales of products.

Hi bsk,

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate this forum is for fellow arthritis sufferers to express their feelings on their highs and lows and what experience people are getting with their current conventional treatments.

But I do not think there's anything wrong with someone advising someone or suggesting something outside the conventional treatment for instance like Fish oil, there has been numerous reports to show it helps with fighting arthrtic inflammation and also prevent certain enzymes thats destroy joint tissue, even Rose hip extract helps very well with Osteo Arthritis.

I dont think this is selling a product but sharing a product with someone who may have some benefit.

And this forum should allow this as its only trying to help each other.

So am i naturally suspicious of people trying to sell product on this forum, you bet I am.I am with BSK the forum founder clearly states no selling on this forum, it is for us arthur suffers to chat with one another.

I do have to say that if someone recommended a dangerous practice or product I would shout about it to the others.

To be honest folks the same issue keeps coming up and I am in full agreement with Marlene this thread should be closed, as it is going nowhere.
It seems that I have critcised the product that is being touted but after reading through my posts I have stated valid points and given people the chance of open choice, not told them not to buy it, my posts have been made after a lot of research and on that research and a couple of posts from other forum users who have tried it, I personally have made the choice not to buy into this product and the "salespeople" really should make note of these threads and realise that alot of posters are not happy with their repeated sales drives. They should instead pay for advertising their product if it is as good as they say it is.
You are right Shiffy if people have found they have benefited from a certain kind of treatment be it natural, physical or pharma then yes this is just the place to do it, then others can try it if they so choose but to give false hope by selling it is cruel.

Yep making you feel like a hypo it seems is normal. Once you have all the results back and your diagnoses things will change, they will get your meds sorted and any physio you might need. It does get to you a bit, you feel like polly parrot repeatiing over and over to this one and that one, watching the way they look at you, as you say like you are a hypo.LOL But seriously, i'm glad to read you are getting a good nights sleep. Hope it stays this way for you. Take Care.

They do make you laugh, tell them all the pain you have and they come back with why can't you sleep. Now let me see "could that be the pain"? 10 out of 10 that one!!!! If it wasn't so serious for us we could laugh, but when we are all worn out with the pain and lack of sleep its hard to smile leave alone laugh. When I first went to the rhumy guy he made me feel so bad I told my GP i don't think he likes me or he just dosen't believe me. Thank God for a good GP he replied or doesn't know what he is doing and got me an appoinment with a new rhumy guy and my problems were sorted. It did take a long time but we do all get thre in the end, so hold on to that thought. The light is at the end of the tunnel. Take Care X

You can try this product, I have customer's who are pain free now with just using the coffee, green tea or hot chocolate. The supplements are also great and it works faster with beverages.

I got the website by highlighting the address and right clicking it then clicking open to link.
Very nice looking website, but it is not only selling products but promoting selling it's products yourself as a business, basically I would say it's like pyramid selling. Also seem to only trade in USA and Canada.

No I don't think I would. I wouldn't be up for selling it either. Why are they advertising on here? Let me think now, are they looking for people to sell over here? Yes I think so. Here we go again, what part of no selling on the forum do they not understand? Well take care everyone.

Not sure why this is on here but no, it is not normal to wait that long. They should write to your GP in the meantime. Maybe make an appointment to see them?
