This website has been created by Dr Sanjiv  with the    primary intention of sharing his studies and            experiences with the non experts  ( or laymen if    you like) in order that they are educated about the  various health ailments.

The doctors, we visit, many a time do not have the  time to explain in detail “the whys and the hows and the don’ts”  of the health ailment we have contracted. And it is not practical for us to expect them to explain this to each and every patient as every subject in medicine is so vast — – the causes, the symptoms, the complications, the treatments, the preventive steps , the alternative remedies, etc.

I have been practicing medicine for the last twenty-five years in the city of Mumbai ( formerly Bombay), which is the financial capital of India and having a population of more than 13 million. The reason why I am mentioning this is that exposure that a physician gets here during his studies and medical practice  is tremendous.

I have taken a few references and have given credit where due. Inadvertently, however if I have failed to do so, I shall stand corrected whenever such an omission is pointed out to me.

I have tried to use a very simple and non medical language for my non medical friends to understand and if  my articles can convince just a fraction of my readers the importance of prevention,  I will feel that I have won!

Dr Sanjiv Khanse.
