V Pai: What are the remedies on Homoeopathy presently available? Is it totally curable?

Dr Mukesh Batra: The remedies in Homoeopathy depends upon a lot of factors and are chosen after a detail case history .The cure depends upon the cause and extent of the disease.

Premprakash: I developed Psoriasis in Feb 2005. Previously it was on entire body and scalp. But I am currently suffering from severe scalp and ear Psoriasis with few patches left on the rest of the body.

I have done extensive ayurvedic and homeopathy course but have not got permanent results. Can this be cured from roots?

Dr Mukesh Batra: Some times there can be seasonal variation and other factors can trigger the problem , in that case you need to take treatment for a longer period of time to prevent it further complication. We have seen very good results at our clinic for Psoriasis .

Prasad: I have been suffering from Psoriasis since the age of 16. Between 16 and 30 it affected only as a small portion on my thigh and the scalp.

It then subsided and resurfaced when I was 32 and has been there consistently on my back, arms, face and stomach. The scalp is also scaly. I have been using Dovinex cream and scalp solution.

It reduces when I apply but is not cured completely. I have tried all the skin specialists and Ayurveda but to no avail. Well there seems to be no cure on the Allopathic side. Do you from your research know of a permanent cure?

Dr Mukesh Batra: Generally Psoriasis starts between 20-30 yrs of age. The fact it is recurring shows that there is some maintaining reasons which could be stress. We have had many cases of permanent cure with homoeopathy. However the treatment needs to be continued for the long period of time.

Anand: I am sorry to say this but homeopathy is an unproven science. It has no scientific basis to claim that it can cure any diseases.

It is based on pseudo-science and its claim to fame is its prescriptions of concoctions that are made using weird formulas and methods that are never tested nor approved by the FDA in the US. That being the case, why do you practice homeopathy?

Dr Mukesh Batra: There are double blind trails conducted all over the world to show the efficacy of homeopathy .It is an accepted science internationally and WHO has listed it as the second largest medical science in the world .The US FDA has approved homeopathy and also had guidelines for preparation of homeopathic medications. Hope your misconceptions are clarified.

Neeraj Goyal: What are the symptoms of Psoriasis? I have a few marks on my back, does homeopathy provide treatment for the same. I have heard that there is a danger that the marks could cover the entire body if the medication is not proper. Is that in anyway true?

Dr Mukesh Batra: Psoriasis is roughness of the skin with increased scaling .This marks could be any other disease. Get yourself consulted to a doctor to get the proper diagnosis.

Srikanth: I need some clarification on Psoriasis. I am 30-years-old and have been suffering from dandruff for the past 15 years. It's a special kind of dandruff that comes off in small sized palets and it's heavy.

For the last five years, the same type of pallet formation is seen on my moustache, beard and on one of the eyebrows. My doubt is whether this phenomenon is dandruff or Psoriasis? Either way, can you suggest any remedies?

Jaimuni: I have been suffering with this disease for the past 15 years. It appears to be retreated during most part of the year and spreads rapidly while winter sets in.

I heard from some of the patients who got treatment from Batras’ were very unhappy and felt cheated. I am advised by them not to venture into Batras as it was only a publicity stunt. Tell me where the truth lies?

Dr Mukesh Batra: We have 90 per cent satisfaction rating which is externally audited .We prefer to let this speak for its self .Come to us and definitely find a good answer to your problem .

I apply Qudriderm and it used to provide some relief. But now I do not see much of response. I basically sweat and slightly overweight. Please advise.

Dr Mukesh Batra: From what you describe it seems to be a fungal infection of the skin. Keep the parts dry and loose some weight.

Mallikarjun Javvaji: I have been suffering from Psoriasis for the past 10 years and I am now 36. Is this disease heritable? I am worried whether my son who is 6-years-old now might develop this condition in the near future. Is there any permanent cure for this? I have tried all the available medicines in the country. Currently, I am using Sterno-s lotion for my scalp and Betasalic cream for topical application. I need your valuable advice.

Dr Mukesh Batra: Psoriasis can be genetic and can be passed on in families . Have you tried homeopathy for your problem?

Apurva Mehta: I have Psoriasis since 10 years. I took homeopathy medicines and its totally under control. I think this disease can be only controlled though our mind if you are relaxed its all well. I wanted to ask is there any problems due to Psoriasis in the future?

Dr Mukesh Batra: If your Psoriasis is cured for 10 years than you should not have problem. I am glad homeopathy was able to provide a permanent cure for you. Psoriasis can also increase with stress therefore it ids important to keep stress and control and meditate. You also need to moisturise your skin.

Jayve: If Psoriasis is a genetic problem, how can Homeopathy guarantee eradication of the problem. I tried Homeopathy for quite sometime and the Dr normally finds fault on me as he suspects I am not taking the dosage as recommended and that I may not be following the strict diet restrictions.

Dr Mukesh Batra: Psoriasis is not always genetic .Generally homeopathy should not follow strict diet restrictions .

Pramod Kumar: Homeopathy is an expensive form of treatment. A person like me desperately wants to get the treatment for this problem, I have a gut feeling that you can cure me but I do not have enough money.

Abishek: When Homeopathy can cure Psoriasis why don't you guys come into an agreement with allopathic doctors and treat patients?

Allopaths accepted that they couldn’t cure this as of now, at least till they get a permanent cure, why don't they forward their patients to homeopaths? Similarly, homeopaths can recommend the allopaths whom you think can't be treated using homeopathy. After all, doctors are here to cure the disease.

Dr Mukesh Batra: You are right ,homeopathy and allopathy should be used in combination for the best results to the patient. We are working towards building on this.
