Hello doctor, Do you work with ayurvedic herbs as well? I saw your web page in a section under schizoaffective and Ayurveda. I only started suffering in 1992 with schizoaffective. Before that I was not hearing voices. I have to leave for a few hours so I will not be in touch.
Thanks

No I do not work in Ayurveda

Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

I am Allopathic practitioner and do not work with ayurveda. MY primary skill in treatment of schizoaffective disorder is allopathic medicines and psychotherapy.

To be XXXXXXX I refer my patients to Ayurveda sometime and but I am not that fa of Ayurveda and do not practice it.

I request you to post anything related to my area of expertise(Allopathy) as it will be in better interest of both of us.
Thanks and regards
