TESTIMONIAL:

"At the Raju Panchakarma Center, the most amazing experiences were the daily consultations with the Dr. Rajus. From touching my pulse they asked me about difficult events that happened 25 years ago and knew everything about my health. It felt like an honor to be diagnosed by them. In terms of the treatments, I was astonished at how many daily treatments we received. These were labor intensive treatments, especially the long daily oil massages. Since I returned, I feel healthier than ever before. I will definitely return for another health retreat." PK Guest ~ Panama

OUR COMMITMENT:

 The reason our medicines and services are so popular is simple: they are natural and profoundly effective. We are committed to helping patients the world over and

promoting Ayurveda more and more internationally as the world wakes up to the dangers of western medicine. We have the knowledge, the connections, and the vision. With the unprecedented increase in disease in the world today and the dangerous side effects of western medicines, we are certain to be very busy in the future.

CLINICAL EXPANSION GOALS:

 We are currently in the planning and development phase of a new, state of the art clinic facility on the outskirts of Hyderabad, not far from the Hi-Tech City downtown area. Expansion of our treatment facilities is crucial at this point in time, to meet rising international patient demand and the growing need within India itself to bring back authentic Ayurveda to the people. Our aim is to heal fully and naturally through Ayurveda as well as compliment and protect against harmful side effects for any necessary western treatments.

Dr. A.V. Raju is particularly well versed in western medical diagnostics and methodology from years of clinical partnership with hospitals and doctors in Hyderabad. He brings the “best of both worlds” to health care by combining both modalities, when needed, for the health, comfort, and security of his patients. Towards this end, the Raju family is currently in dialog with a leading hospital in Hyderabad to develop a “Hospital Ayurveda Program” offering healing support from Ayurveda to enhance in-patient and out-patient care and create a model program to inspire hospitals worldwide to compliment modern health-care with the holistic healing arts of Ayurveda.

Regeneration of Reproductive Organs:

England ~

"I was diagnosed with MRKH Syndrome in c.1996 following an ultrasound that revealed I had no uterus. This is a rare congenital condition whereby the female reproductive system stops developing after the creation of the ovaries. This of course means you do not have periods, nor can you have children naturally. In allopathic medicine there is no known reason or solution. On diagnosis, I was brought under the care of a specialist unit in a London hospital where they offer enormous emotional

support to the diagnosed ladies and their families, but of course in their eyes there was nothing they could do.

"In January 2010 my partner, Will, and I embarked on a two year traveling sabbatical. We decided to kick start it with a 23 day PK in Delhi. Will had been suffering from Gilbert's Syndrome and a poorly functioning liver, and the doctors back home had been at a loss on how to treat this debilitating condition. A short, one week PK in the UK had had such beneficial results we decided to come for a long stint in Delhi. There we had the blessing and amazing good fortune to meet with Dr. JR Raju and we came out of our first consultation amazed. Rajuji was not at all bemused by Will's condition and had diagnosed me just through the touch of the pulse. He even suggested that his family's Banana Treatment would be able to help me overcome my situation. My pulse had indicated that I had either just finished or was just about to start my cycle so for the rest of those three weeks he regularly took my pulse to track my cycle. It came, a few days before I was due to leave.

"During this first treatment, I felt enough sensations to merit following Dr. Raju's advice and obtained an ultrasound. The results showed a small uterus!! We were overcome and so it was an easy decision to attend the clinic in Hyderabad as often as I could for monthly banana sessions whilst we were in India. Will's test results also showed a 75% improvement in his liver and thyroid functioning in just 23 days. He had been ill for over a year!

"Over the next few months of banana treatment there was notable progress. I had ultrasounds after each treatment which invariably showed the uterus growing in size each month. I returned to the UK in June 2011 and had an ultrasound at a private hospital in the UK to alleviate my parent's concerns that the results were not a true reflection of what was indeed taking place. The result showed more progress, and the parents were on board!

"We returned to India in late October 2011 for further travels and treatments in Hyderabad to accelerate the growth. The ultrasound following the October banana treatment showed 50% growth in the volume of the uterus since late June. The November results indicated a further growth spurt in the length of the uterus. It was after this treatment that the lining of the uterus became fully developed and it was also the first time the radiologist was able to detect and measure the cervix. She and her nursing staff looked on in amazement. It was a wonderful moment. An MRI in December 2011 confirmed normal myometrium, endometrial cavity and parametrium in the uterus.

"I continued regular banana treatment, as well as a 42-day PK in Hyderabad in March 2012, to help support the growth process which it did enormously. In August I was due to head back to the UK - the funds were up and it was time for me to head home. However, Dr. Krishna Raju strongly advised otherwise as I was experiencing a high level of growth, so I returned in September and continued regular banana treatment and a short PK until January 2013. The MRI in November showed that the vagina had connected with the uterusand the fallopian tubes had developed and connected also. And that is where I am tantalizingly at!

"Apart from one banana treatment in Italy in the summer, I have not had any other treatment for a year and am letting Nature take her course. It is relevant that I am back at home for now, and will know when it is right to return and join the banana club again! But I am feeling it is soon. I am able to support the development by daily practising the marma touch points and special marma abyanga that I was so lucky to learn in Hyderabad. I do these daily, wherever possible, and I know they have had a profound effect on my physiology. In addition, I have also been incredibly fortunate to have the banana and PK supported by full marma treatments in Hyderabad, which I have found extremely powerful.

"I have been utterly blessed to have met the Raju family and their team of supporters, both the immediate staff but also special friends of the clinic, who are all tirelessly helping the patients, supporting us on our journeys, being the embodiment of Ganesha. It is a true gift to be in their presence and truly know there is nothing to fear. My journey has been nothing short of incredible and I am really looking forward to seeing what Nature has in store and when she decides to bestow it."

for about two months, I've seen about a 25-30% improvement in kidney function as it relates to my creatinine count, a measurement of how I dispense impurities. Before starting the Raju herbs, my creatinine count was quite high (normal is 1.5 and mine was 4.17). But my most recent blood test showed it as down to 3.37—a pretty dramatic reversal! Before, my doctor was pushing me towards dialysis and we started the process for transplant. But all that has been put on hold now as we play out the process and see to what extent things continue to improve. Along with that, as kidney function declines, leg swelling is quite common, and I had that situation. My swelling has diminished substantially at this point. It's still there, but much less then before."

Kidney function improving significantly: "Since taking the Raju Smriti and Shodhana

Relief from Menstrual Discomfort: 

"I have had debilitating periods all my life...horrible cramps, nausea, and pain. After receiving banana treatment from Dr. Pavani Raju, I would say my periods are 95-99% better. Not only that, but it has had a side effect of giving me greater confidence and sense of self. I feel very lucky to have been given this treatment.”

 Banana Treatment:  

"I wasn't able to take the Raju Banana Treatment when I was still menstruating, but I've been fortunate to have had it several times since menopause. I know my cycle times from years past and the vaidyas can feel in my pulse when I am ready for the banana medicine. Though they say it's more powerful during menstruation, it still brings me increased energy and strength, along with deep purification. From the moment I swallow the herb, I can feel a special liveliness spreading in my body, and for those first few hours after taking it I feel very inward and quiet

and sometimes fall deep asleep for hours, even in the middle of the day. It's a very special experience, and gives me a big boost afterwards."

Hepatitis Cure:

 “When I got Hepatitis A, I was cured by the Maharishi Ayurveda Clinic in Delhi, that used only herbs, no pharmaceuticals. My father, a Harvard graduated physician, is very grateful for the Raju family and their clinics for curing me. My father, was also a US Veteran Army Captain and military physician. My mother was also so happy that the Raju Clinic saved my life from a near fatal case of Hepatitus-A with herbs recommended by Vaidya Raju.”

Panama ~ Amazing Pulse Diagnosis & Treatments: 

“At the PK Center, the most amazing experiences were the daily consultations with Dr. Raju. From touching my pulse, he asked me about difficult events that happened 25 years ago and knew everything about my health. It was an honor to be diagnosed by him. Since I returned, I feel healthier than every before and will definitely return for another health retreat.”

Grateful for Cancer Relief: 

“Dear Dr. Raju, I saw you in September of 2013. Since then I have been following the same prescription you gave me, which has greatly helped in the treatment of 3rd stage ovarian cancer. Thanking you so much!”

Australia ~ Free from melanoma metastasis for the longest period yet: "As a first timer to Ayurvedic treatment in India, I came to it with an open mind and heart for this traditional method of healing. I was firstly surprised at the length and depth of the Panchacharma process, having been used to the western model of perhaps twice weekly. With the upgrade to daily treatments, supported with a complex variety of tinctures, oils and herbs, this moved me rapidly into a healing mode.

"For 30 days this continued and eventually the fine-ness of the body's state became apparent. I experienced both a deep cleansing and vibrational readjustment that translated into two major eruptions of my melanoma metastasis [underlying problems coming to the surface, according to Ayurveda, where they can more easily exit the body]. These were removed surgically in quick succession after two months. It's been 9 months now since that event and over 12 months since my treatment at the Raju Center. To this point I'm free from outbreaks, the longest period in 4 years."

Invaluable for my recovery from cancer:

 "I feel very grateful to Dr. Raju for the medical help that he has given me. I was diagnosed with cancer in September of 2010 by a team of specialists at our regional hospital. They recommended surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments. I consulted with Dr. Raju via phone consultations and he recommended, in addition to their regime, herbal supplements that were available through his clinic. I found Dr. Raju's herbs very strengthening and revitalizing, even while I was doing the standard Western treatments as well. Thanks to Dr. Raju's advice, support, and attention, in addition to his herbal recommendations, which I am continuing to take, I am feeling

healthy, strong, and energetic. I have been cancer free for over a year and a half and I feel confident in recommending Dr. Raju's PK Center--his knowledge and treatments were invaluable to my full recovery."

Health and life saving experiences:

"In our family, thanks to the Rajus' considerable wisdom and kind help, we have all learned to trust the healing process, which is cyclical in nature and structures progress in stages, like taking a back-stitch to make a seam strong. And we all aspire to Dr. Raju's #1 instruction ‘not to worry' because we have seen this system of Ayurvedic healing work in all manner of situations, for so many people. No matter where you are on the healing path, powerful, yet natural remedies are available to help you. "Fear is the worst to it possible of anything...non-fear can reverse anything." Dr. J.R. Raju

"After seeing our son's amazing recovery from serious intestinal problems (defying ALL the western doctor's predictions and done entirely without drug treatment), my brother and his wife turned to Dr. Raju for help when their daughter (who had cancer as a child) suddenly developed a second tumor, so deep in the brain that surgery was impossible.

"While the doctors were trying to figure out what to do, my niece started taking smriti, recommended by Dr. Raju, in increasingly higher doses. He told us that smriti enlivens the ‘memory of wholeness and health in the body,’ and because the body made itself and has total knowledge of the creative/regenerative process deep within the DNA, anything is possible for healing. He also explained that smriti is especially good at removing "unwanted tissues" and healing the brain.

"He told her to start with two doses of smriti per day and that if she noticed improvement within two weeks it meant that she would overcome the disease easily, if not it would take much longer. Amazingly, after only a couple of days she had an improvement in symptoms: the tumor was pressing on critical nerves, causing some paralysis on one side of her body, which began to lessen almost immediately from starting Smriti. Then Dr. Raju had her increase the dose (eventually up to 6 times per day). Not long after, her doctors decided to do a special radiation technique for deep tumors, and as they were preparing for that and measuring the exact position of the mass, they discovered the tumor was a little smaller, and cancelled the procedure immediately!

"Over the next few weeks she kept taking more and more smriti, along with some other herbs that Dr. Raju had prescribed, and every time the doctors checked, the tumor had continued to shrink. During this process she would have 'good' days and 'bad' days neurologically, which Raju explained were from alternating stages of swelling and shrinking of the tumor in the healing process, and told her to increase her smriti dose as needed on the difficult days. I can't even remember exactly how long it took for the tumor to dissipate completely because IT WAS SO FAST, it couldn't have been more than two months for it to become a small and harmless lump of inert tissue.

"During the dissolving process, Dr. Raju said that it was very important she not stop smriti until it had finished the job, because the 'intelligence' in the herb (it's organizing power) was governing the handling of the disease by enlivening the innate intelligence in her body, and it was crucial not to lose that guidance mid-way. He also said that smriti was not only helping the immune system to dissolve the tumor, but also allowing for the rebuilding and repair of the brain that was going on at the same time.

"Today, about 8 years later, my niece is still cancer-free. Smriti literally saved her, and we can only thank Dr. Raju and his family for their wonderful herbs, from the bottom of all our hearts. Dr. Raju also told us that healing nerve damage is very rare, and only possible with true Ayurveda. My niece had a partial recovery in this regard from just taking the herbs, and Dr. Raju said that with Panchakarma in India she could regenerate even more.

"One of the most dramatic healing experiences

I have witnessed is that of a young woman friend who experienced the return of an aggressive cancer 3 years after a seemingly successful course of treatment with chemo and targeted antibody. Her doctors said that only a more extreme approach could work the 2nd time around, recommending a more toxic form of chemo followed by an autologous stem cell transplant and whole body radiation. The chemo is so intensive that it destroys your stem cells, so they must be harvested beforehand and then re-infused afterwards to prevent your physiology from complete collapse. Risks include a significant chance of dying from the treatment, and there are many side effects from both the chemo and the radiation that could be permanent. Most certainly she would suffer premature menopause. The cure rate for this treatment regimen is 50%.

"Dr. Raju told her to talk to me, because of my niece's incredible success with smriti for her cancer, as well as another friend who had successfully reversed another life-threatening condition almost entirely through Ayurveda. Interestingly, Dr. Raju told this young woman to "do whatever makes you feel safe" because he knew how important the deep feeling level is for regaining health. In the end she decided to put herself entirely in the hands of the Rajus in Hyderabad, because the Western treatment option was unthinkable to her.

"She started with smriti in very high doses (about 12 times a day) along with a number of other very potent Ayurvedic herbs, and then went to the Raju family Institute of Ayurveda in Hyderabad for 5.5 months of Panchakarma treatments. After only 4 months since beginning the high doses of smriti and 3 months of PK (patiently following ALL of the Raju recommendations) she had a PT/CT scan that was completely negative--showing no cancerous activity at all. Since then she has continued taking the herbs and has committed herself to yearly panchakarma treamtments to get at the deeper, causal level more completely to help ensure the cancer doesn't come back again. Subsequent PT/CT scans have shown the same negative results.

"One of the most amazing things for me in witnessing all of this was a conversation I had with Dr. Raju mid-way through her treatments, where he told me that the focus of the approach was not to focus on the disease itself, but to prolong the health in the body, and increase health so thoroughly that the disease itself would become immaterial ~ just simply go away. And that is exactly what happened, as seen her email sent from India in November, 2008 "And the PET scan came out CLEAR....here I quote the doctor's evaluation of the scan: "NEGATIVE FOR VIABLE TUMOR ~ no focal abnormality seen."

Natural Hepatitis Cure: 

"When I was diagnosed with Hepatitis, my blood work was so bad that the liver specialist saw me in two days--normally she has at least a 6 week waiting period! I called both Dr. Krishna and Dr. Raju for their advice. They agreed that Dr. Krishna should make a special preparation of fresh herbs for me and this would heal the liver. They both said that in India, liver problems are not considered dangerous because the Ayurvedic Vaidyas know how to cure them. The liver is one of the fastest regenerating organs in the body.

"With great compassion and love Dr. Krishna, in the midst of his busy schedule, drove 3-4 hours each way to pick specific herbs for me. He did this because he wanted the herbs to be picked properly. He then cured the herbs in the traditional Ayurvedic manner and recited special Vedic sounds over the preparation. He asked someone coming home from the health center to bring the fresh herbs to me. Before they left, he gave very specific instructions on how the herbs were to be taken care of during travel and made sure the person would follow his instructions fully. Dr. Krishna prepared six batches of fresh herbs for me! Each batch lasted a month. After the 6th batch, my liver was healed. There are no words to express my gratitude to Dr. Raju and Dr. Krishna for their skill, knowledge, love, service and compassion. They are both brilliant vaidyas and everyone who is fortunate enough to be treated by them is blessed."

A Real Lifeline:

 "To have Dr. Raju and Dr. Krishna on your side when you have health problems is like nothing else, anywhere. They have helped me and my family solve health issues, both large and small, for over a decade and they are always there for us, no matter what. To have their guidance and support in times of real need is like a lifeline....something to hold on to that you can trust, and know you are safe. And when they say "don't worry," it's the best medicine of all. We are so blessed to have them in our lives."

Powerful Thyroid Treatment: 

"The first time I did the Raju thyroid treatment I could really feel how the herb changed my metabolic rate. They say the treatment allows the thyroid to reset itself, and also the metabolism, to the proper levels. Even a few days after finishing the third dose of the herb that first time, the effects were quite strong. Loads of fatigue poured out, and all I wanted to do was rest, and rest. Then something shifted at the end and I felt a new strength and energy, along with big improvements in digestion. I couldn't believe how lasting and noticeable the effects were. I've done thyroid three times now and each time it gives me a big boost...especially for digestion. The Rajus say that the

thyroid herb "runs all over the body digesting ama" and this makes a lot of sense because you feel so clear and strong afterwards."
