I have a very serious, treatment-resistant case of ulcerative colitis and I am 32 years old. I have suffered from it for over four years and in that time I have tried all of the treatments offered by “west” medicine. That includes different biological therapies (adalinumab, ustekinumab, vedolizumab), immunosuppressants (azathioprine, tofacitinib), anti-inflamatory drugs(mesalazinum), hormonal steroids (prednisolone, hydrocortisone) and so on. Also, I have been on a constant dose of high amounts of prednisolone for the past 2 years (usually it is given in short tapering treatments lasting 6-12weeks). My next step, suggested by my gastroenterologist was partial removal of my colon. As the “western” medicine has failed me, and I would prefer to keep my colon intact - I understood that I need to look for alternatives. That is how I decided to turn to Ayurveda. I came to India in search of a doctor I could trust and a clinic I would feel comfortable to hand my health to. After some reasearch I found a few places that had potential based on reviews. I went to a couple of them and in the end chose VCC Ayurveda. What stood out was that comparing to other clinics - Dr. Greeshma Thomas, together with her father Dr. A C Thomas really took deep interest in my situation. They started off by doing bloodwork, analyzing my past experience and only after some consideration offered me a personalized treatment plan that was comprized of Ayurvedic pills, extracts, massages, oil therapies and specialized oil and concoction enemas that were constantly amended in relation to the stage of treatment, my state and the way I felt. On top of that these wonderful doctors offered me the possibility to get food prepared in house and I had the honour and privilege to spend two wonderful weeks with them feeling like part of family during lunches, dinners and some breakfasts. During those two weeks I had constant consultations, Dr. Greeshma would also contact me directly to check how I am doing and if I needed anything at all she, her fater and her God-sent mother were always just a message or a call away. Also, whilst it is obviously very early to celebrate, I must say that I do finally feel at least a little bit better, day by day. Bear in mind that my situation has been gradually getting worse for over four years, to the point where I was homebound for months, so for me this is already a monumental achievement that I feel better without taking a new hard chemical drug that has a 6-page side effect list. In conclusion I would describe Dr. Greeshma as a very caring, knowledgeable and professional doctor and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for these traits in the person who they are planning on trusting their health with.
