Mr. Mohan Rao’s Journey of Resilience and Healing at SLNS Nature Cure Hospital
In the vibrant city of Hyderabad, 80-year-old Mr. Mohan Rao embarked on a remarkable journey battling the complexities of his health. For over a decade, diabetes mellitus had been a constant companion, initially manifesting as weakness throughout his body. A visit to an allopathic hospital revealed his condition, leading to a regimen that temporarily stabilized his sugar levels.
Life took an unexpected turn when, during a routine walk, Mr. Mohan Rao experienced profuse perspiration. Seeking answers, he visited Usha Mullapudi Cardiac Centre, where an angiography exposed cardiac blockages. Dr. Mullapudi Venkatarathnam skillfully performed a bypass surgery, marking a pivotal moment in Mr. Mohan Rao’s resilience against health adversities.
Undeterred by his diabetes diagnosis, Mr. Mohan Rao continued his daily walks until severe pain in his calf muscles forced him to halt. Persistent gastric issues manifested through loud belching, led him to Sunshine Hospital. Determined to find a solution for his knee pain, he consulted Srikara Hospital in Secunderabad, receiving prescriptions that yielded minimal relief.
It was his son-in-law who pointed him towards SLNS Nature Cure Hospital, a decision that would alter the course of his health significantly. Admitted to SLNS Hospital, Mr. Mohan Rao experienced a substantial reduction in knee pain, accompanied by a surprising revelation – his insulin dosage plummeted from 20 to 5 units. Even more astonishing, his blood glucose levels maintained optimal levels, a testament to the transformative impact of holistic care.
