Krabbe's Disease

[Guest guest]

I am trying to find out out if there exists any possible cure for the

genetic disease Krabbe's Disease. A friend of mine has a neighbor

whose 6 month infant has just been diagnosed with this terrible

disease.

 

Thanks,

Dear Ole,

 

Krabbe's disease is a rare, inherited degenerative

disorder of the nervous system in which a specific

enzyme deficiency leads to the destruction of myelin.

 

The disease considered incurable.If we need to find

out possible management through ayurveda all the

symptoms are analysed as per ayurveda terminology.And

diagnosed as per ayurveda.

 

In my mind i do feel that the disease can be

consider based on the clinical picture as a "DHATU

KSHYAJANYA VATA VIKARA" where the only vata is

involved(Kevala vata vikara)(Vata prakopa is due to

loss of sngdha dhatu(Myeline sheet containing

lipoproteins) covering the nerves. The more loss of

snigdhtwa(myeline degeneration) the more vata

prakopa.So there is more rookhstwa developing and thus

leading to vata prakopa.

 

So the line of treatment can be

Brimhana,balya,snigdha,rasayana,medhya and vatahara.

 

Based on best of my knowledge, Iwould like to

suggest medication as below.

 

1)Tab.Kumara kalyana ras

1 tab twice daily with mother's breast milk.

 

2)Swarna brahmi vati

1/2 tab(60 mg) twice/day

 

3)Ksheera bala tailam 101 avarti

5 drops with milk.

 

4)Shudha bala tailam

 

1 spoon to be rubbed over the vertex or a piece

of cotton soaked in the oil and placed over the

vertex(This is called "Shiro pichu").Twice daily.

 

5)Mahmasha tailam (With amisha(goat meat)).

to be massaged all over the body daily.
