Another patient had the symptoms of hyperacidity and stomach ulcer. Underwent surgery for that and was revealed as CA stomach. Subtotal gastrectomy was done. The chance of survival was only for 2 months. Then the patient came to me and I kept him on milk diet. He used to consume 2 liters of milk a day. There was weight gain and restoration of normal activities. After six months, the patient started vomiting without pain. So he is referred back to surgeon for resecting the adhesions. The patient further survived for one more year.

A patient aged 50 years, was unconscious, primary focus unknown and secondaries in liver and lung. His bilirubin level was 32 mg/dl and was in intensive care unit (ICU). Supplementary  oxygen and intravenous fluids were given. Life expectancy was only few hours. Relatives of the patient requested me to see the patient and on their compulsion the patient was shifted to a smaller hospital. Instead of ICU, patient was admitted in a special room. Along with oral medication, lajamanda and mudgayusha was started. Even though the intake was less, it was possible to stop saline and oxygen supply. After that cassia fistula (aragwadha) and a combination of Terminalia chebula (haritaki), Terminalia bellirica (vibitaki) and Phyllanthus emblica (amlaki) (triphala) was used for mild purgation (mridu stramsana). After passing 5 to 6 loose bowels, the patient became semi-conscious and could recognize some relatives. Bilirubin came down to 20 mg/dl. But still hallucinations were present. He died after 6 days. During these 6 days, the quality of life of that patient improved and could provide economical treatment.
