I, SGP, 13161 residing in Pune India My daughter 5.4 years of age was suffering from eczema since last 2 years. It was mainly involving the face, neck, arms, wrists, under elbows, ankle, under knees and scalp. It was quite widespread and had been treated with extensive use of steroids and immunosuppressant for last 1 yr. There were episodic flare ups with severe itching and dryness of the affected skin. At Dr Shah’s clinic we were explained about my daughter’s eczema being steroid masked due to over use of steroids and immunosuppressant medication. With treatment of 15 months, her skin improved considerably, there is no increase in the disease and the eczema is now restricted only to neck, face, under elbows and under knees. The frequency of the use of steroid has reduced significantly. The episodic flare ups have also reduced with the treatment. I am still continuing the treatment and much hopeful that the eczema will clear up completely and we would be able to free my daughter from the use of steroids.

My son, Mst S. C. J., patient identification number 14526, was suffering from Nephrotic Syndrome since 2.5 years having relapse of the condition, once every 3-4 months, and had around 14 episodes of relapses in last 2.5 years. The relapse generally occurred after an acute infection of cold and cough. During the relapse he would have swelling on the eyes and urine would become pale and would have a protein loss of 4+. He was put on doses of steroids (Omnacortil) however the need for steroids still persisted and it caused side effects like getting swelling all over the body and made him irritable. Within 6 months of starting treatment with Dr Shah, my son has responded very well to the treatment, the episodes of the protein loss reduced and the recurrent infection and recurrent colds also reduced. Within 8 months, now the protein leak is nil, the relapses also reduced and he has no swelling under eyes. The response was so good and consistent that we were able to stop his steroid. No r
