My details for your reading..Spinocerebellar Ataxia

I am curious to get your reading on my condition.

My name is Manjunath, male, born on July 28, 1966. I have lived in the USA for about 10 years from Aug 95 and has recently returned to live in Hyderabad, India. I am married with 2 sons (9 years and 3 years).

My condition is medically diagnosed as Hereditary Spinocerebellar Ataxia. It is a inherited degenerative neuromuscular disease. My father had similar problems, but they started after his age of 60, degenerated quite slowly and he passed away in 2002. For me, it started very mildly in early year 2000 (at 34 years of age) and has degenerated very fast since then. Primarily the symptoms are as follows :

- muscular weakness growing worse with each day. initially it was prominent in legs but now it is allover the body. I cannot even sit steadily and meditate because of my weakness.
- unsteady gait
- shortness of breath occasionally
- occasional spasms in various muscles (mostly calves)
- burning sensation in lower legs
- skin and muscles allover have become very soft

After being advised that there is no treatment for this in allopathy, I have tried various treatments/therapies like : homeopathy, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, chiropractic, cranio-sacral therapy, nature cure, liver/colon cleansing, and kerala ayurveda treatments in Hyderabad. None of them have given any positive results.

3 months ago, I was introduced by a friend to a traditional Ayurvedic practitioner in Hyderabad. After reading my pulse and taking case details, he said in ayurvedic terms it is known as PANDU ROGAM. It is due to deficiency in liver function which depletes the DHATUs in the blood which causes all these symptoms. His prognosis is - if I commit to his medicine and dietary prescriptions, I can see very positive improvements in about 6 months, but I should continue the treatment for about 18 months for total recovery. Since he is the first person to tell me that I can be cured completely, I immediately started his treatments.
The diet restrictions are to totally avoid : green/red chillies,
tomatoes/lemons/tamarind, potatoes, curd. I was already totally away from any kind of artificial foods and fried foods because of my familiarity with nature cure diet.

As of now the only change I notice is some tightening of a few muscles. All my other symptoms still remain the same. However, looking at my doctor's continued confidence, I have started to feel very confident. In addition to his medicines, I have been doing medititation (TM) and pranayama for the last few months.

I am very positive and hopeful of recovery in near future and would like to know your reading in this regard.

Thanks for your time and willingness to help,

God Bless You,
