Incurable diseases

The Ayurvedic practitioner has to recognize Yapya diseases, which are definitely not curable or are curable just in very exceptional cases. With such disease, a person will stay alive with the help of medicaments, observing a daily routine and eating the right food, but as soon as he stops observing such a routine, the symptoms will get worse. When the patients fail to observe the lifestyle prescribed, such diseases gradually attack the tissues and organs and deteriorate the condition of the organism. However, when such patients follow the lifestyle prescribed, the symptoms dissappear and the disease does not spread or attack other organs. Today this is, for example, what medicine calls type B diabetes, which may be regulated with the help of diet, yoga and pranayama etc., but as soon as this regime is not observed, the sugar level increases. Definitely such a patient cannot eat chocolate every day as he used to do in the past. This is the Yapya disease. In such cases, the Ayurvedic practitioner may find a good solution to stop the consequences of the disease from spreading and to keep the patient in good condition - with the warning that the disease may appear again should the patient fail to observe the recommendations.

People who stay alive through dialysis may seem that they have a curable disease, but it is incurable, like those who have prostheses with which they function and on which they are dependent.
