2. The fact that the neurons; in gastrointestinal
tract are more in number
than the neurons in the spinal cord, suggested
to me that VAMANA (which means induced
vomiting) can stimulate the gastrointestinal
tract from within and stimulate hormones
secretion from gastrointestinal tract and also
from pancreas.
I thought this reflex stimulation could be
useful in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. I
tried it on myself. Apart from immediate
relief from acidity, giddiness, throbbing
headache, sinusitis, expectoration, uneasiness
from gastric discomfort; I found it useful
3. (though I can not prove it scientifically as I
have not excluded other factors) in diabetes
mellitus.
For VAMANA I.e. induction of vomiting I
simply
a. drink about a liter of water either on empty
stomach or after food and
b. bend over the commode and stimulate my
palate with fingers.
This induces vomiting. Excepting initial
hesitation and apprehension I found this
procedure very safe and effective.
4. This is my experience only, and neither a
scientific study NOR advice. However,
it may stimulate the study, research, clinical
trials, judicious and careful
practice with respect to benefits of VAMANA
in diabetes and other conditions, apart from
stuffy nose, acidity, giddiness and uneasiness
associated with gastritis and gastric
discomfort.
