Question 1

How did you come into the field of treating Retinitis Pigmentosa, Macular Degeneration, Optic nerve atrophy and other eye ailments?

Accepted Answer

I am a medical graduate in the Modern Medicine and was practicing this till the year 1997. After that, I learnt Acupuncture and started practicing this system.  It was in the year 2000 that I successfully treated a case of loss of central vision due to injury resulting in blood clot in the macula of a young patient. Encouraged by the results, I developed interest in this field.  Although this patient was also termed as incurable/ irreversible loss of vision by modern medicine, he gained near normal vision. However, subsequent development into this field was not easy. It has taken me years to reach where I am today. Nurturing and growing in this field is a continuous process.  I would like to share here that I have never ever imagined that one day I would be working in this field of medicine because a M.B.B.S doctor would never have been able to enter such a field.

Question 2

We know that there is no cure for such ailments in Modern Medicine but many practitioners in Traditional Medicine are practising in these ailments; how do you compare your results with the other practitioners?

Accepted Answer

It is upto you to compare, but I have cured many legally blind patients with this technique. They are now self-dependent and are continuing same improvement, even after 10 years. This gives me immense satisfaction.  Moreover when I receive an invitation from the U.S. Acupuncture Association requesting to publish my results, I got a chance to speak at the Indian Medical Association,all this explains where I stand.

Question 3

Do you follow up these patients for any decline in improvement?

Accepted Answer

Yes I do follow up with these patients. I am happy to state that more than 90% of my patients have confirmed that there is no decline. In fact, some of them have given me feedback about the further improvement in vision even after completing the course of treatment.
