Tell us about your journey as a Homeo physician and Acupuncturist. 

The road to my destination will be challenging. Indeed, my life is a journey filled with challenges, lessons, hardships, moments of joy and witnessing happy healing stories of my clients and so on. These special moments lead to our destination, providing invaluable medical service to society with particular emphasis on the underprivileged to meet their health needs and ease the sufferings of many chronic illnesses. 

Tell us about your practice of homoeopathy, acupuncture and Reflexology. Do you employ any technological tools to streamline the procedure? 

I aim to treat the whole person, considering personality, lifestyle, hereditary factors, and the history of the disease. Since all people are unique, homoeopathic medicines are prescribed to treat the individual. Ordinary people are now aware of the alternative system of medicine and its efficacy in treating diseases termed to be incurable. 

How successful is homoeopathy in triggering the body's natural healing system? Especially in curing renal failure.  

Our homoeopathy is one such system of treatment where a detailed case analysis helps you to express yourself completely, which in turn paves the way to healing yourself both physically and mentally. Thus, it helps to eradicate the disease smoothly from the root with no side effects. 

It even heals you spiritually where you may find good changes in your thoughts, habits or behaviour as per your symptoms and personality; it helps to build up your immunity naturally, not only for your presenting complaints but also for any future diseases which you may be prone to get .hence it makes you stronger to fight infections. 

Even if you get the infection by any chance, it will decrease intensity, paving the way for a good prognosis. Sometimes, in case of any epidemic or pandemic conditions, our general body immunity may not be enough to fight. When you take preventive medicine or have taken homoeopathic treatment in the past for any other ailment, it may work as a shield to prevent infection. So building up natural immunity is the top priority in our sweet medicine. 

Indeed, homoeopathy has also shown efficacy in improving renal failure-related symptoms and outcomes .initially it decreases protein urea via  

Its ability to reduce urinary oxidative stress and macrophage infiltration into the kidneys lessens glomerular injury and decreases blood pressure by vasodilation.  

From its anti-oxidant properties, generally, no adverse effects come across about the safety of homoeopathic treatment, which implies every conventional medicine user can treat themselves with homoeopathy in the most effective way.  

The elevated parameters in kidney disease reduce step by step, giving way for a better prognosis.  

There has been an increased number of dialysis patients recently. Is there any treatment to cure chronic kidney disease? How does homoeopathy or acupuncture treat this disease? 

Chronic kidney disease, as the name implies, is a long-standing disease of the kidneys leading to renal failure. Usually the function of the kidneys is to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. As kidneys fail, waste builds up. Since it causes progressive damage to the kidneys, leaving an irreversible imprint, it substantially reduces the life expectancy of a CKD-affected person, leaving him physically deprived and breakdown emotionally. 

Homoeopathy terms this as ‘one sided diseases’ often called incurable diseases by modern medicine practitioners or allopathic. In such instances, we can improve life expectancy to some extent by slowing down the disease's progress by following a kidney-friendly eating plan and being active with a physical activity routine and our medicines. 

Stimulation of acupuncture points has also been revealed to boost skin microcirculation, lessen emotional anxiety and promote excretion of waste products by improving the automatic nervous system. Both relieve CKD-related symptoms as the development of renal failure is attributed to poor circulation in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. So, the renal function is improved through acupuncture. 

In modern medical practices, dialysis or kidney transplantation is the only option for renal failure. Can homoeopathy or acupuncture treat renal failure without dialysis or kidney transplantation? 

Early in the diagnosis, the better the treatment plan is, is all Homeopathy could say. Cost-effectiveness, in addition to disease management, is the most commendable factor in Homeopathy. By following a long-term diet plan and periodic monitoring of Kidney functions, we can treat renal failure and make a better prognosis. In this way Homeopathy not only improves the life span of the ailing person but also cuts down the treatment cost and saves him from higher whooping billing costs. 

Recent research says the intersection of cutting-edge technology and traditional medicine is poised to enhance the effectiveness of homoeopathic treatments, making them more personalized, precise, and potent. What is your opinion on this? 

Using cutting-edge technology referring to recent advances curated in the software development industry, collaging with alternative treatment systems poses a trendsetting approach in the forthcoming years. Modern technology always adds value to traditional medicine systems to develop and give massive results in diagnostic and prognostic aspects of treating individuals. 

After the intervention of generative AI, many AI models assist our daily activities. What is your view on using AI models to help in your clinical practice? Like using an AI chat bot to screen the patients and acquire essential information? 

AI models could assist physicians in medical diagnosis and treatment like CT scans, X-rays, MRIs and other images for lesions or other findings that a human radiologist might miss.  

Also, AI technology could make precise decisions about treatments, medications, mental health, and other necessities like diet plans and activity clocks required to manage long-term disorders. 

Notable universities, including Oxford and Stanford, have introduced courses centred explicitly around artificial intelligence in the healthcare sector. What is your viewpoint regarding this transformation? 

AI could efficiently bring out early screening of disease and diagnosis, provide personalized disease treatment by giving out customized treatment plans to individuals around the clock without any time lag, perform rapid clinical trials to bring out new medicines, etc. This era of Artificial Intelligence would cater to the needs of today's modern world. Homoeopathy, the Holistic Alternative system of medicine, would emerge to greater heights with AI being a core part of digital health systems. AI courses in the healthcare sector are the need of the hour.
