Holistic Approach to Improve Healthcare
Acupuncture is a very old medical art; it is an ancient medical practice that has existed for over a millennium. Acupuncture is still one of the most popular methods of treatment in the world. In our current day and age, acupuncture has also influenced not only eastern medicine, but also western medicine as well. Paradigms, such as endorphins, holograms, quantum physics, and reflex arcs, acupuncture remains a huge source of influence in medicine, and will continue to do so in the future.
Acupuncture promotes natural healing and each patient is custom treated. This is done by inserting needles and applying electrical stimulation or heat at very precise acupuncture points. Whether you’re a professional acupuncturist interested in learning about the latest developments and breakthroughs in your field, or a healthcare practitioner intrigued to know more about a treatment that is effective against over 100 disorders, this conference is definitely the place for you.

He is a frequent lecturer and speaker and the subjects of his topics could be very vast depending on the needs of the society.
Title 1
The Scientific Understanding of Alternative Medicine
Abstract
One of the biggest misunderstandings of the medical community about alternative medicine is the claim that alternative medicine is not scien- tific. This is not true at all.
The science of conventional medicine and conventional biology which are based on classical (Newtonian) physics cannot properly perceive any nonphysical modality and approach and the main stream medicine does not allow the medical doctors, practitioners and researchers to learn about the truth. Therefore, I have designed this presentation to thoroughly examine and explain pure scientific facts and evidence of alternative medicine and its modalities and to show why they focus on holistic approach.
The lecture will include:
Title 2
Autism and the Autism Related Spectrum (ASD), understanding, analysis & treatment – A Quantum Approach
Abstract
In this lecture, Dr Parviz will be talking about the probable root causes of ASD at the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels and how they can be reversed to as much normal as possible.
Autism and the Autism Related Spectrum (ASD) are complicated conditions which affect not only the life of the patient, but the faith of the family and the society as well. The sad news is that the number of clients involved are constantly rising and so far, there has been no reliable form of therapy to assist the ones who are in need.
In this approach which is based on examining the energetic signals emitted by the body itself (in addition to the conventional testing and analysis), the participants will learn how to look at the issues in more depth and what to consider as additional factors. This is based on the science of Quantum physics which is there to look at what cannot be seen by eyes!
The lecture will include:
Dr. R. Valavan is the Head – Scientific & Medical Affairs at Schwabe India, the Indian subsidiary of Dr. Willmar Schwabe Group of Companies, Germany.

Besides these, he has been an active homoeopathic practitioner for the last 18 years handling different types of patients from acute to chronic illnesses.
Title 1
Success Story of Homeopathy as Effective, Safe and Affordable Mode of Treatment
Abstract
Homoeopathy was invented two centuries ago by a German physician Dr. Samuel Hahnemann with the principle of similia similibus curentur, which means ‘let likes be treated by likes’. Today homoeopathy is the 2nd largest system of medicine used worldwide. Though its high dilution is a topic of debate, it has significant contribution to the national health care delivery system in many countries. In India it is a recognized system of medicine at par with allopathy. Its efficacy is well-documented in conditions like acid peptic diseases, anxiety, atopic dermatitis, autism, behavioral disorders, bone fracture healing, conjunctivitis, depression, dysmenorrhoea, headaches, injuries, migraine, menstrual irregularities, renal calculi, respiratory infection, vitiligo, diarrhea, colic or dentition complaints in children, etc. It is equally a safe mode of treatment due to its non-toxic nature of high dilutions. Besides its efficacy and safety, it is also well-known for its cost-effectiveness. With average cost of a dose is as low as USD 0.0014 (in India), it is the most affordable treatment of choice. This paper discusses about these facts, i.e. how is homoeopathy effective, safe and affordable mode of treatment.

Title 2
Evidence based choice of homoeopathy in allergic rhinitis
Abstract
Allergic rhinitis is characterized by subjective symptoms which may be difficult to quantify due to the fact that they depend largely on the patient´s perception. As allergic symptoms also may affect patient´s social life and impair patient´s performance at work or at school these symptoms help to estimate the „real“ impact of the disease on everyday life. Homoeopathic physicians play a major role in and contribute to allergology and allergic rhinitis. It is not known to many that a Scottish homoeopathic physician, C.H.Blackley, was the one who first identified pollen as the cause of allergic rhinitis. San Francisco homoeopathic physician Grant L. Selfridge was the one who co-found- ed American Academy of Allergy. There exist a good number of high quality research studies on the efficacy of homoeopathic treatment in allergic rhinitis. In this paper, published scientific studies with the evidence of usage of homoeopathic medicines have been reviewed. Relevant studies are taken into consideration for analysis and discussion. Remedies useful in allergic rhinitis will also be discussed.

Abstract
Ayurveda offers profound wisdom for a way to live a healthy, happy and harmonious long life. Ayurveda defines health as a state of physical, emotional, social and spiritual wellbeing, as it shows linkages of human life with the nature and the universe. Its integrative approach has served healthcare in India and Arabic- Asian nations for millennia. The documented treatises- Charak- Samhita and Sushrut-Samhita- were translated into Greek and Arabic languages long back. There were global exchanges of Ayurvedic herbs and spices. Columbus sailed in search of India for the spices. There is a demand for scientific evidence from the experience-based traditional medicine. The robust observations of ‘clinical-phenomena’ can be understood as objective evidence with disease markers.
Molecular mechanisms can also be grasped. Rauwolfia serpentina and Artemisia annua exemplify this path of success. However, reverse pharmacology (RP) provided an organized, methodical and time & cost-effective approach for drug discovery and objective evidence. We and others have adopted RP to systematically explore clinical experience for scientific evidence. The examples are Arogyavardhini in hepatic disorders, Yogaraj-Guggulu in rheumatoid arthritis, Atmagupta in Parkinson’s disease, Guduchi for immunomodulation, Panchavalkal for burns/ wounds, Parijat for malaria, Mamejawa for diabetes, Ashwagandha for musculoskeletal and neuro-cognitive disorders, Shinshapa for osteoporosis etc. This approach of RP has been adopted globally too for research. Leading universities are also planning training programmes in RP. We had the first advanced ICMR centre of RP.

Acupuncture – Scientific Evidence, Regulation, Standards, Indication
Abstract
Acupuncture has achieved a high level of scientific evidence shown by randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews. In addition their is a huge body of literature in basic science, which reveals different modes of action of acupuncture on the peripheral, spinal and cerebral level. Acupuncture is recommended by the WHO in different indication and more than 4000 practice guidelines which recommend the use of acupuncture in pain and other conditions. Medical acupuncture refers to the use of assessment and treatment techniques that have developed from the integration of a traditional East Asian therapy into contemporary Western (or orthodox) medical practice. Medical acupuncture requires a Western (or orthodox) medical assessment and an evidence-based approach to treatment. Therapies associated with medical acupuncture involve stimulation of the body to bring about therapeutic effects via endogenous mechanisms.
Acupuncture has been shown to be a safe treatment, if quality standards are respected. Indications are mainly different pain condition e.g. acute pain, headache, low back pain, fibromyalgia and different disorders of the locomotor system. Positive studies exist among others in allergy, ENT diseases, gastro-intestinal disorders and psychosomatic disorders. In post-operative nausea and vomiting acupuncture has achieved evidence level 1A. To integrate acupuncture rationally into the health system education standards and stringent regulation have to be implemented.

Title
Indian Systems of Medicine on Scientific Pedestal
Abstract
India has tradition of a long civilization and culture with a strong knowledge power. Indian Systems of Medicine (ISM) consisting of Yoga, Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani have been providing holistic healthcare to Indian population for centuries. Patanjali, Charaka and Sushruta are the pioneers who laid the foundation for the Science and art of Yoga, Ayurveda and other Indian traditional systems of medicine. These systems were based on both experimental and experiential learnings which stood the test of the time. Across the globe there are millions of beneficiaries from these systems including those in India. There have been limited documentation in the earlier years and hence the Western world and the modern generation have been looking for more scientific evidence for validating the claims of these traditional systems.
Adequate scientific evidences do exist both from scientists of our country as well as from researchers across the globe on the safety and efficacy of ISM. I had the opportunity of leading a big scientific team in the Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO), Government of India as well as in Amity University for research and innovation in these domains. Initial experiments on Yoga conducted through physiological, biochemical, psychological and clinical studies have demonstrated the prophylactic, promotive and curative potentials of Yoga. Based on these scientific evidences, Yoga has been introduced in Indian Armed Forces.

Title
Chiropractic treatment for back pain & Disk Problems.
Abstract
Chiropractic is a safe and effective treatment for neck pain, back pain, headaches as well as many other symptoms. Chiropractic is a natural, non-surgical and drug free approach to healing the body. Chiropractors are highly trained doctors spending 8 years in university.
Chiropractors seek to unlock the body’s inherent recuperative powers by restoring the structure (primarily the spine) and the function (primarily the nervous system) to allow for the expression of homeostasis leading to health. Chiropractors focus on the alignment of the spine since it is the nervous system which controls and coordinates all the other organ systems in the body. It is through a chiropractor’s detection and correction of vertebral subluxations (spinal misalignments) that helps patients to get out of pain and restore their health. There is a vast amount of research backing up chiropractic treatment. The European Spine Journal published findings showing chiropractic adjustments resulted in 72% success rate in treating sciatica compared to 20% from physiotherapy and 50% from corticosteroid injection. Another study published by the British Medical Journal studied 183 patients with neck pain who were randomly allocated to receive chiropractic, physiotherapy, or general practitioner. Over a 52 week period the outcomes showed that the chiropractic adjustment resulted in faster recovery than physio or GP care and the chiropractors did it at one-third of the cost. Studies have also shown that chiropractic is beneficial in improving physical performance because it reduces inflammatory cytokines, boosts the immune system, enhances pulmonary function, decreases mental and oxidative stress, relieves muscle tension, and increases energy levels. Chiropractic treatments also assist in other conditions such as vertigo, insomnia, Bell’s palsy, anxiety, asthma, osteoarthritis, and back pain due to pregnancy. Chiropractic has been practiced for more than 120 years and is becoming more mainstream, and it is practiced throughout the world and is covered by most insurances.

From Medicinal Plants to Herbal Medicinal Products (HMP) – Quality & Safety
Abstract
In the recent years with ever growing commercialization in the field of herbal medicines, there has been an instant demand for quality control of the drugs used in this system. The studies on the identity, purity and quality of the genuine drug will enhance information in checking the adulteration. A set of standards would not doubt be detterent on substitution and adulteration but are also an aid for ‘Drug law Enforcement’.
The challenges are innumerable and enormous, making the global medicinal plant/ herbal market unsafe. The talk seeks to enlighten physicians, pharmacists, consumers and stakeholders in medicinal plant industry on the need to establish quality parameters for handling, manufacturing and production of safe herbals as well as employ such parameters in ensuring the safety of the global herbal market that is directly linked to the safety of public health.
In the present talk an attempt has been made for a sequential study for the Quality Control of Herbal Medicinal Products ( HMP ) starting from Selection of Herbs (Medicinal Plants) ;Good Agricultural Practices (GAP ) ;Cultivation ;Good Field Collection Practices(GFCP) ; Organized and Unorganized Drugs ;Source and Period of Collection; Identification; Storage ; Chemical Standardisation ; Assay ; Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Pharmacological studies to Clinical Approach .
Different stages of Quality control studies for the Raw Medicinal Plants, Controled Studies of Method of Processing, Quality Control Studies of Finished Product, Standardisation Procedures at each stage from birth of the plants till clinical application of herbal medicine will be described . Toxic elements detected in a large number of medicinal
preparations e.g. mercury containing skin lightening products are hazardous to health and as a result have been banned in many countries. Mercury , a volatile element and is harmful to the skin when used in an effort to lighten the skin. Several creams have also been found to contain hydroquinone, a carcinogenic compound.
Adulteration of prescribtion and non prescribtion medicines in Herbal Formulations will be dealt in detail as laboratory experience . An emphasis will be given on the protocols which are required for Registration of Herbal Medicinal Products and adulteration of undeclared chemicals in HMP. Quality Control protocols to maintain Standardisation at each and every stage of Herbal Formulation will be dealt with special reference to ensuring Quality and safety of Herbal Medicines.

Diversity of Traditional Korean Medicine and Acupuncture
Abstract
As longer a life-span is expected in modern society, managing chronic diseases and improving quality of life are getting more important.
Although many kinds of new drugs and medical devices are developed to prevent or treat various diseases, still there are limitations and side-effects in contemporary biomedicine.
In Asia, throughout medical history, traditional medicine and acupuncture have been applied to most disorders from simple pain to complex internal disorders. For example, acupoints, PC6 on arms and/ or ST36 on legs are often selected for cardiovascular disorders.
Korea has well preserved its traditional medicine and developed its own theories and clinical practice under a dual medical licensure system of Traditional Korean Medicine and conventional biomedicine.
This presentation will introduce the diversity of Traditional Korean Medicine and acupuncture from past to present, and its hope and challenges.

Effects of Wet Cupping on the Quality of Life of Adult Patients with Chronic Diseases
Abstract
Cupping has been used for treatment and cure of a wide range of conditions, including hematological disorders, rheumatic conditions such as arthritis, sciatica and back pain, anxiety, and general physical and mental conditions. However, no adequate intervention studies were done to assess the effect of wet cupping on Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) of patients with chronic diseases.
Objectives: To assess the effects of wet cupping HRQOL of patients with chronic diseases who were referred to the cupping clinic at King Abdulaziz University Hospital, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted between September 2012 and June 2013. It included pretest, an intervention, and post-test. The HRQOL was assessed before and after cupping therapy by the WHOQOL-BREF instrument (26 questions). Both descriptive and analytical statistics were performed, and changes in the scores for the four domains of HRQOL (physical, psychological, social, and environmental) after therapy were evaluated.
Results: A total of 309 patients fulfilled the eligibility criteria and completed the intervention and 72.8% were referred for pain treatment. After cupping therapy, all scores for HRQOL domains were improved compared with those before therapy. Furthermore, patients with almost all types of pain showed significantly (p < 0.05) improved scores for the physical health domain of HRQOL. Women and non-smokers showed significantly improved HRQOL scores across all of the four domains.
Conclusion: wet cupping improved the HRQOL, particularly the physical health domain, of patients with chronic diseases. This procedure may be considered an effective treatment modality and need to be applied in all hospitals for management of different chronic disorders including pain.

World Of Cupping
Abstract
Cupping is an ancient prophetic therapeutic method that imposed itself on modern methods of treatment. And is attributed to ancient civilizations such as the civilization of Pharaonic and Chinese and Greek and Greek and precedes all this is a divine way known to man since the creation of Adam and our Prophet peace and blessings as stated in the Holy Quran (and the science of Adam all names) 31 of the story of the cow and among the names taught by Adam Tati Aljamah to teach to his children after him and therefore moved to all the ground and drowned in different civilizations and then came our Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and to confirm them and make them a method of healing from many diseases, Medications. It is striking that the whole world, east and west, is racing behind the scale and is carrying out many researches on various diseases. This is because of the amazing therapeutic results of some diseases, which were considered to be diseases that are difficult for modern medicine or illnesses that were falsely termed as congenital diseases. . Despite the simplicity of the method, it has occupied the universities and research centers in the study of the work volume in the human body and has been publishing nearly 700 research volume during the past few years and was published in refereed scientific journals and the last of these research was published at the beginning of the month December 2016 before writing this subject a few days, which confirms that the size has a clear impact on the adjustment of sleep when athletes. The scientists have examined the reasons for the improvement of patients after the volume of them, which is due to the fact that the volume activates the blood circulation of the muscle reduces the contractions muscle pain caused by pain.
