Homeopathy helps mother beat massive fibroids without surgery
10 Aug 2025 20:44 A. SREENIVASA REDDY (ABU DHABI)A Dubai-based Indian mother of two has made a full recovery from massive uterine fibroids without undergoing surgery or using hormonal medication, following a year-long holistic more than two years, 46-year-old Mahendrarajah Jananthi endured heavy, recurrent bleeding, constant fatigue, and emotional distress. An ultrasound revealed over five large fibroids, which had significantly enlarged her uterus, and blood tests showed she also had diabetes. Conventional doctors recommended a full hysterectomy as the only invasive surgery, Jananthi turned to alternative care at Wellth, where she was treated by homeopathic practitioners Dr. Asher Shaikh and Dr. Yasir Shafi. The doctors devised a personalised plan rooted in classical homeopathy, supported by mindful dietary changes and gentle physical activity.'This was not just a case of fibroids,' said Dr. Shaikh. 'It was about a woman who had been silently suffering for years. We focused on restoring her overall wellbeing — physically, emotionally, and energetically.'Within months, Jananthi's symptoms began to subside. Her bleeding eased, energy levels improved, and life with her family became manageable again. A follow-up scan revealed that all but one fibroid had disappeared, while the remaining one had shrunk considerably. Her diabetes was also brought under control without conventional Shafi noted that while fibroids are common and often lead to surgery, Jananthi's decision to pursue homeopathy showed that effective, non-invasive alternatives exist. 'Cases like Jananthi's remind us of the body's profound ability to heal when supported holistically,' added Dr. medication-free and enjoying a vibrant life, Jananthi continues routine follow-ups. She says she feels physically healthier, emotionally lighter, and more to Aletihad on the broader effectiveness of homeopathy, Dr. Shafi said more than 500 million people worldwide use it, making it the second-largest system of medicine globally. 'Recognised and regulated by the UAE's Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP), homeopathy is gaining institutional support in integrative and holistic care models,' he said, noting that it is offered in MOHAP-approved clinics and the difference between homeopathy and conventional medicine, he added: 'Homeopathy treats the patient as a whole—considering physical, emotional, and mental symptoms. Each treatment is tailored to the individual. This contrasts with the one-size-fits-all approach of allopathy, where patients with the same condition often receive the same drugs.'Dr. Shafi stressed that homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances and are highly diluted, making them safe, non-toxic, and suitable for children, pregnant women, and the elderly. He said that homeopathy has shown excellent results in chronic conditions such as asthma, eczema, migraines, arthritis, and irritable bowel asked about the insurance, Dr. Shafi said: 'Coverage is not universal and depends on the insurer and policy tier. Insurers offering homeopathy benefits include Bupa Global, Oman Insurance Company, AXA Gulf (now GIG Gulf), NextCare, NAS, ADNIC, Mednet, etc. 'Corporate/Employer-based plans are more likely to offer homeopathy benefits compared to basic or individual plans,' Dr Shafi said.

Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi performs 1st robotic lung transplant in gulf region
Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has made history by performing the Gulf region's first-ever robotic lung transplant, making it one of the five centres in the world to have performed this surgery. With this landmark complex surgery, two patients have now successfully undergone robotic lung transplants, marking a major milestone in the region's advanced surgical and organ transplant capabilities. Both patients had idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) as well as secondary pulmonary hypertension, a progressive condition that gradually scars the lungs and makes breathing increasingly difficult. These surgeries were quite complex due to pulmonary hypertension, a condition that puts extra strain on the heart and lungs. To support the patients during the operation, the medical team used Veno-Arterial ECMO, a technique that temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs while the damaged lungs are replaced. These life-saving surgeries would not have been possible without the extraordinary generosity of organ donor families, whose selfless gifts make such transplants possible. The hospital also acknowledges the critical role played by healthcare professionals from donor hospitals, the National Programme for Organ Donation and Transplantation – HAYAT, the Department of Health- Abu Dhabi, and the National Centre at the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP). Further solidifying its leadership in regional transplant medicine, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi has surpassed a significant milestone this year, completing over 60 lung transplants since the relaunch of the programme in 2022, establishing itself as the most advanced and active centre of its kind in the region. These cases exemplify the programme's potential and underscores Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi's emergence as a global referral hub for patients with end-stage lung disease, including complex conditions such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease as well as Interstitial Lung Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Pulmonary Hypertension, and Bronchiectasis.
