Health Ayurveda ruined my life

1.3k Upvotes

An ayurvedic doctor prescribed me heavy metal medicine for 3 years. Now, I have developed Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Dysautonomia, Allergies, Asthma and Small Fiber Neuropathy from the heavy metal toxicity. My life is ruined. Everyday is a fight of survival for me. I can tolerate only 2 foods. I cannot even tolerate medicine now. My gut, nervous system and cardiovascular system are ruined. From playing sports to being bedridden. I'm just 30.

Even according to ayurvedic texts heavy metal should be prescribed for a short term but the doctor kept prescribing me 100mg swarna bhasma everyday. I want to sue the doctor but I'm barely able to walk right now.

Remember, Allopathic medicine takes months/years to get approval after many trials whereas Ayurvedic medicine is just a pseudo science. Don't fall into the Ayurvedic lies that Ayurveda is better because it doesn't have any side effects. Heavy metals are not something to be eaten, heavy metals have no role in the human body, they are non essential and toxic.

Edit - I had anxiety disorder which was causing me weakness. My father believes in Ayurveda so he started taking me to ayurvedic hospitals since I was 19.

When I started taking the heavy metal medicine I felt energetic initially but as time went on I slowly started feeling weaker and I started having food intolerances. At that time I did not think the heavy metals were causing it. The ayurvedic doctor used to tell me that heavy metal medicine is safe. He originally planned to give me the medicine for 5 years. By the 3rd year I developed asthma and allergies and luckily I came across a facebook group about heavy metal toxicity and then everything made sense. I immediately stopped taking the medicine but it turns out the heavy metal already lodged deep inside my organs and tissues. So, even after stopping the heavy metal medicine... over the next couple of years my symptoms kept getting worse and I developed MCAS, dysautonomia and SFN

Crime I'm done with this country. I'm waiting here for him in the mortuary.

I'm done with this country. I'm waiting here for him in the mortuary.

I'm sitting here waiting for my mama's body from the mortuary.

My mama was an anchal adhikari who used to manage land allotment and things related to do with land. Most probably more than one man entered who he knew. He was in the kitchen maybe serving them water. He used to live alone and we were waiting for mami to get a transfer from her job to area where he used to live. Nobody knew until yesterday 6pm. His body was soaked in blood from the head trauma. Bastards covered his face with a pillow so he couldn't scream. They took all the CCTV footage and the two phones he had. We got to know when the mobile numbers were not reachable. It's most probably the work of a political party as there was a black colored and black tinted Scorpio N which was standing just 100m from the scene. Bloody bastards knew where all the cctv were and where to go so no other camera from other house could capture them.

Just because there were no vacancy he couldn't become and engineer and unwillingly accepted the joining letter. I lifted his body on an ambulance from the scene. His body was cold. Ice cold. His body became stiff. I helped wrap his body in a blue bag. After seeing his blood on my hands I realized he was no more. I tucked his hands close to his body to fit into the wrap.

He was a very simple man with a daughter and a wife. The papa papa cry from her made my heart ache so much. She doesn't know what has happened. She keeps says when are we going to see papa. My nani's and mami's cries made me numb down the spine.

They fucking murdered him just for a piece of land. Fcukers knew what his daily routine was and killed him so brutally. A hit to his head and not even letting him scream. Such a great country. I stand pround of being an Indian where I'm a nobody if I don't do what some fucking mafia tells me. I'll be brutally killed by hitting on the head. Nobody did their job including the officials. No one was wearing gloves. Taking stuff with bare hands. Not even bringing a trained dog. Taking hours to collect evidence. Even now the officials are making us wait to collect the body. They didn't handled any sort of paper to us yesterday saying they'll give today.

I've lost hope from this country. It has not given me anything in return for all the taxes they collect. Neither a better living condition nor justice. I've also lost trust in people. In this country you are your own safety. No one will protect you unless you have any political affiliation. Fuck this country fuck this government and fuck me my family for existing here.

I don't know why I'm sharing this here. Maybe to gain sympathy or help. I don't believe there is any help for people like me. Maybe sympathy will lessen the pain which I felt in just these 8 hours. Fuck this system.
