Case study of a 70 year old lady post her Chemo and Radiation Treatment for Lung Cancer

LIFE BEFORE ATMANTAN

A 70 year old lady guest came to Atmantan in September of 2022, with the hope of getting well after several life changing incidents. 

She had been diagnosed with primary lung cancer (for which she had undergone Chemotherapy and Radiation therapy in March ‘22). She had also been previously diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019, for which she had gone through a lumpectomy. Another health concern was her back, as she suffered from a prolapsed intervertebral disc and had also had spinal surgery in 2010. Recently she had also suffered the loss of her husband, and she especially felt anxious and depressed. 

Along with her deteriorating health conditions, she  constantly felt tired, fatigued and was experiencing a loss of appetite along with low energy. All this had severely lowered her confidence levels.

She decided to come to Atmantan looking to heal.

HEALING JOURNEY AT ATMANTAN

After the initial wellness consultation with the Doctor, she was suggested to undergo the Holistic Health retreat for 21 days. The Doctor planned the treatment and diet as counselling case study, which would also help in her post-chemo recovery. The diet formulated was a low carbohydrate and a moderate protein and fat one. She was also given super foods with plenty of antioxidant rich ingredients and probiotics to help set the gut and revive immunity. Apart from the dietary prescription, she was also put on supplements that enhance the recovery and immunity; these supplements were Atmantan Naturals’ Curcumin+ (Contains pure turmeric extract and is an immunity booster), Antiox 3, Super Anti-ox 3 (Anti-Oxidants) Nutri liver, Natflam 6 (for inflammation) and Defence Max (natural viral defence and boosts immunity).

The treatments given were from the school of Ayurveda, along with some western therapies, Acupuncture, Yoga, physiotherapy and private meditation sessions. The guest had daily consultations with her Doctor as well, such that her progress was monitored daily. On the 3^rd day itself, the lady guest shared that she was feeling better mentally. 

In fact since she had come to Atmantan, she truly felt that the team was nurturing here and looking after her and she stated during her regular monitoring that slowly and steadily, all her complaints were being transformed; She was becoming her positive self again!

HER TRANSFORMATION

At the time of the departure consultation, the guest shared how her 3 weeks at here had… 

– Improved her quality of Sleep

– Felt more energetic and active

– Bowel habits had gotten better as she now felt hungry enough to eat, and even the food tasted better

– Was also able to socialise better, and she had willingly participated in the group activities (which she was hesitant to in the beginning

– To her, her body felt more supple, flexible and lighter. 

– Her exercise tolerance had also improved, and she took initiative to actively participate in various activities here at Atmantan

– And her overall mood was elevated

She was extremely grateful to the team and felt her time here had made her more stable, and she had gained back some of her confidence. She was now feeling strong enough to even return to her daily life. 

Her tough life journey and her will to get well was very inspiring for us at Atmantan… when one prioritises one’s health, the benefits are multi-fold.

Case study on Hypothyroidism and associated weight gain

LIFE BEFORE ATMANTAN

A 53-year-old lady suffering from complaints of weight gain, sluggishness and thyroid dysfunction, along with early morning stiffness and pain in all the joints, decided to come to Atmantan. These were clearly all signs of systemic inflammation in her bio-system!

HEALING JOURNEY AT ATMANTAN

Upon admission, she went through an in-depth Doctor consultation and diagnostics, wherein she was also found to be suffering from severe inflammation in the body; With high cholesterol issues and a borderline blood pressure concern along with her other pressing symptoms of weak digestion, obesity and hypothyroid. She was recommended a 14-night retreat with a combination of the Master Cleanse™ and Holistic Health programmes which would target all her present complaints.

She was prescribed therapeutic fasting to start with a detox as per Naturopathy principles for the initial few days post which she was on an anti-inflammatory meal plan that had anti-oxidants, natural probiotics, moderate carbohydrates and higher fat. This diet was adequately also supplemented with Atmantan Naturals’ Omega 3 fatty acids (for assisting in reducing systemic inflammation), Digestive Enzymes (to improve digestion and fight gut inflammation) and Thyrocare (to manage thyroid dysfunction and to activate the conversion of thyroid hormones). 

Since her fasting phase, she was taking various detoxifying Naturopathic treatments along with Ayurvedic weight loss therapies that also reduced inflammation in the body. 

She was also given personalised fitness sessions, and specific yoga practices to activate her thyroid functions along with stress management sessions.

HER TRANSFORMATION | MASTER CLEANSE™ | 14 NIGHTS

The result after 14 days of treatment was that the pain and stiffness around the joints has significantly reduced, (she was not having any difficulty with stiffness in the early mornings anymore). 

Please Note: These results may vary depending upon body type and pre-conditions.

She became a successful hypothyroidism case study as even her TSH came down from 4.3 to 2.3 uIU/ml (it had now normalized!) and her inflammatory marker (such as ESR) had dropped from 68 to 33 and the C Reactive Protein (A high CRP reading is a sign of acute inflammation) had come down to 2.02 from 8.3!

Her blood pressure was also streamlined and because of this improved lifestyle, all thanks to a normalised TSH, she had also lost almost 4 kgs of weight (from 80.3 kgs to 76.5 kgs) which also made this a brilliant weight loss case study. Most of this weight loss consisted of a fat loss of almost 3 kgs (from 38.7 kgs to 35.8 kgs) along with a drop of 2 points in her visceral fat (from 15 to 13)!

Please Note: These results may vary depending upon body type and pre-conditions.

Upon getting her blood reports done, the transformation was further quantified as the values had all reduced significantly in just a short period of time. The Stool examination revealed that the gut inflammation (which existed in the beginning) had disappeared! 

Her total Cholesterol has also normalised when it reduced from 219 to 159! This included her Triglycerides having dropped from 106 to 97, while her good cholesterol had improved from 45 to 47!

Needless to say, the results were fabulous, and her sheer will and hard work, along with the guidance of the doctors had gotten her here.
