Hi everyone. ......I am Rachana Mehta.....I was diagnosed with AVN in right hip stage 2B in August 2014.....Initially I thought it to be pain due to Sciatica. ...but then consulted the best orthopedics in Ahmedabad and AVN was confirmed by the MRI. Doctor advised to go for Core Decompression. But I n my husband then consulted many other doctors in ahmedabad as well as mumbai......but they advised not to go for any surgery.....as CD does not have any major benefits. Most doctors advised not to go for even hip replacement as I was just 30. Gradually my pain increased....was unbearable. ...unexplainable. ...limping started ....and then got my new companion. ..walking stick. By December 2014 my pain was just unmanageable. ...was hardly able to walk few steps in my room....that too with the help of my stick. My husband could not see my condition. ...He was constantly searching for other alternatives for cure. At hat time I was on Ayurvedic medicine. ..but it did not have any impact. Then I joined various AVN groups on FB.and that one day Finally my husband saw Atulbhai 's post on FB that he was cured with AVN by following raw. He spoke to Atulbhai n finally I spoke to him and was convinced to follow raw. I took it as the last option to be cured and to get rid of that handicapped life. I started the Raw diet plan initially for 10 days n then continued the same for next 4 months. I was able to take few steps without stick in just 15 days and left it completely in 1 month only. This motivated me to continue raw and then gradually started enjoying raw. Was almost 70% cured in 4-5 moths. Now I am painfree n able to do walk without limping n Sometimes I forget that I have AVN. Just shifted to Dubai 15 days back n here as we don't have any servants....doing all the household work on my own very smoothly which is a big achievement for me. This is my story guys. Now I am following 70% raw n enjoying it a lot.

Avn story of Mr Raja
Hi every one
Am Raja from bangalore I diagnosed of A V N in January 2015 at first I thought it was muscle cramp. After it was confirmed by MRI that it was AVN stage 1 bilateral
I consulted best orthopaedic doctors in major hospitals of bangalore all of them shocked and informed me that this disease has no medcine and they told me to get ready for operation
By increased pain day by day I decided to get operated
And I applied medical leave and prepared for bone grafting... at that time am blindly fallowing allopathic medical system while filling admission form in the hospital I thought why not to try any other alternate ways so left the hospital without informing to them
After I tried lot of other medicine systems like unani homeopathy and ayurvedha but no use at that time my friend shailesh given me atul bhai s no told me talk to him
So I called athul bhai and I told my condition to him He explained me everything about raw and how it works and heals AVN and other diseases also
At the beginning I fallowed 80 % raw diet
In first month itself lot of changes happened so I changed to 100% raw deit now am 80% cured in 2 months from raw food thanks to atul bhai , nandhini madam and shailesh for continuous support
Now am free from stiffness and pain I can sit cross leg on the floor I can walk up to 3 km to 4 km without pain only problem is little bit of limping
Am sure it will also disappear soon so once friends pl fallow raw and get cured
Once again I thank athul bhai , nandhini madam and my freind shailesh for giving my life back thank u friends
RAW ONLY CURES NOTHING ELSE..
Avn story of Nandini
Hi All,
Life for me took a very bad turn in 2011 when i was diagnosed my first health problem - first time i heard the word AVN- Avascular Necrosis. I have it in both the Femoral Heads. The situation worsened over the past 4 years and i am currently in Stage 3 and a clear candidate for TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT as per the doctors.
In My desperate attempt and in my depression i found this group - AVN india - Avasular necrosis - where Shah Atulsuggested that i try RAW food diet as a cure. I had nothing to lose so i started as per his guidance.
I had excruciating pain , a big limp, unable to walk , unable to sleep on my sides, squat, drive my car etc etc (list is endless - when u cant bear your own weight) in fact totally dependent on others for my work - hence started becoming depressed and suicidal. I had put on loads of weight as i couldn't do any exercise. Taking pain killers all the time left me lethargic and sleepy all day.
Today after 10 months of following the RAW plan under Atul shah's guidance- i am energetic , No pain killers, sleep comfortably, 20 kgs lighter, able to walk without limp, squat, bend , Drive my car and even run sometimes(though scared to do it as i am advised against it.).
Still little pain is there- but that is bearable compared to what i had endured all this while.
My looks have changed - i look better and feel awesome! My confidence is back and i am rocking! All this is possible because of just a change in my lifestyle - Unbelievable but true RAW ROCKS!
Shah Atul You are my savior Thank you!
Special thanks to Shalu Singhal and Kunal Patil too!!
This is my story so far!
Story of Dr Shalu Singhal
I was diagnosed with Avn stage 2
in September 2014 on mri after 6 months of vague chronic pain in the left hip and groin
The pain was vague and progressive though there was no limp
I went through the net and gathered information.All the information pointed to only one thing that there was no cure
Cd in early stages and thr in later stages
Seeing the uniformly poor results of cd I decided to skip it
Now the only option was to sit it out and wait for stage 4 and wait for collapse
That's a terrible situation to be in when you are actually waiting for your disease to progress so that you can finally get cured
I joined the various Avn groups on fb and that turned out to be my savior
In one of the Avn groups I came across someone who healed himself with the help of raw food
Deciding that there was nothing to lose and a diet full of fruits and vegetables can not possibly harm me in anyway I ventured on this journey
After around 2 months of being on an almost raw diet I started noticing a definitive reduction in my pain levels
Though morning stiffness still persisted
That took around 6 months to go
Today after 1.25 years of being on almost 80% raw diet I can say that I have definite symptomatic improvement besides a host of other health benefits
My mri is long overdue but I feel too healthy to go for one
Touchwood! Or rather touch raw!!

Story of Satish kumar
Hello Dear AVN Friends,
I am Satish Kumar 27 years old Engineer from Gurgaon. I would like to share my AVN story with you all
It was early February 2015 when I started feeling pain in my left hip. Initially I ignored it for three months thinking it was just a muscle pain but instead alleviated my pain day by day. I was on high dose pain killers during these months. Then after sometime doctor recommended to go for MRI and I got my MRI report in May end and I was diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis 3rd stage in left femur and stage 1 in right femur. My doctor suggested me to go for total hip replacement But instead I choose unconventional treatments like Physiotherapy, Neurotheraphy, local treatments etc. But no improvement was experienced from them.
After this I went to Jaipur Soni hospital on recommendation of my relative. The doctors over there asked for another MRI and the result of MRI was as same as earlier one. After that tried many doctors in Delhi NCR. Everyone recommended me for CD(Core Decompression),THR (Total Hip Replacement) .This was very difficult time and I was very frustrated with my life. My condition was worsening day by day. I was unable to walk without support - This was the time when I thought that everything is over for me & I used to cry and cry a lot at my state.
In July 2015 while researching about AVN on internet I encountered a line "FULLY CURED FROM AVN WITHOUT ANY MEDICINE" with a number 9511195111 – I found my lifeline - without wasting any time I immediately called that number. This call changed my life forever. This is the number of Mr Atul Shah our RAW Guru. He told how he overcame AVN with raw food diet. He suggested me following Points.
1. Follow raw food diet.
2. Stop eating cooked food
3. Start enema regularly.
I had nothing to lose and there was no risk of any side effects so I started following these things. Initially my family, friends did not support this unconventional way of treatment because I was losing my weight at very high rate but I believed in this approach so instead of quitting I was on 100 % raw food diet for first five months and took this as a challenge.
After five months of following raw diet I lost almost 11kgs and my pain got reduced more than 70% and my stiffness in leg disappeared completely. Now I am able to walk much better without any support.
In between Mr Atul advised me to get my vitamin D3 and B12 checked .I got my tests done and I found out that I am deficient of vitamin D3 and B12. Atul suggested that I should wake up early in the morning to get sunlight for about 30 to 45 minutes. I followed it for almost 3 to 4 months and I rechecked my vitamin D and B12 now these both are at normal level.
Today it has been close to 8 months following raw diet and my pain is reduced almost by 90 %. There is No limping, I can sit crossed legs comfortably for long hours, sit on floor too and walk almost like a normal person. I fell more energetic and healthy.
I am a person – who loves to dance and today I CAN and I can dance all the time!! What more can I ask for- except to see the deadly disease reverse itself – because fight I will till I see it happen!!
I am following 90% RAW now and awaiting for the AVN reversal.
I am very thankful to all the people in AVN Facebook and WhatsApp group. I want to thank Mr Atul Shah Atul, Nandini Nandini, Shalu Singhal for their continuous support and motivation. In the end I just want to tell you all to never lose your hope and keep your fighting spirit intact..

My life changing story - Atul Shah
On 17th May 2014, through the MRI scans Avascular Necrosis was diagnosed. After this diagnosis, I was told by all orthopedic surgeons to undergo Total Hip Replacement (THR). I searched through the Internet about AVN and was shocked, devastated to find out that this condition was incurable. During this time, I consulted a renowned orthopedic surgeon in Mumbai who prescribed me tablets of Osteofos (Sodium Alendronate) – 70 mg per week. According to him, this medicine delayed the progression of AVN. However, when I searched on the Internet about this medicine, I became skeptical to use it because there were more side effects associated with this medication rather than benefits. So, I decided not to take these tablets.
I felt very dejected to know that I was going to be permanently disabled. I was extremely depressed, frequently cried. After seeing people playing football, jumping, or being active, I used to cry a lot. I used to feel sorry for myself thinking why have I got this incurable condition. I kept praying to God, for showing me an alternative treatment to cure my AVN without needing hip replacement surgery. I decided to stop feeling so negative, mustered some courage and self-determination to fight this incurable condition.
A month after my diagnosis of AVN, I was introduced to the Unprocessed NATURAL diet concept by my relative. He told me to stop eating cooked food right away if I wanted to get healed naturally by adopting this naturopathy food habit. I had nothing to lose and there was no risk of any side effects as there was no medicine/drug involved. So, I began following the NATURAL diet through his guide. During this period I persisted with my efforts to seek other therapies for curing AVN by meeting many Ayurvedic and Homeopathic doctors. However, I could not find any definitive therapy for AVN. Although I had started following the RAW diet, I was not confident at the time if this was going to benefit me in any way. My family, friends, and all the medical experts told me to stop this madness about the RAW diet and eat normal cooked food. Despite enormous opposition, I carried on regardless of what people had to say and took this on as a challenge.
Within three months after starting the NATURAL diet, I experienced a 70 % reduction in pain and stiffness. I was curious to know the reason for this relief from pain. Hence, I decided to get the second MRI scan of my hip in August 2014. The result of the MRI scan was unbelievable. I was elated to find out that regression of my AVN was diagnosed. This gave me confidence and strengthened my trust in the NATURAL diet concept. At that time was doing nearly 70% Unprocessed and after the new diagnosis, I immediately moved to a 100% NATURAL diet with full dedication. I also started doing enemas. Prior to this, I had never used an enema. After 6-7 months of this 100 % NATURAL diet along with daily enema, I experienced a 90% reduction in pain. I began to walk with a slight limp after several painful months. My condition improved remarkably and I was able to walk much better. It took about 11 months to reduce the pain to about 95 %. My stiffness disappeared completely.
Today, it has been 21 months following a NATURAL diet. I don’t have any pain, no limp now, in fact, am healthier than any other healthy person and can even play football. I had my third MRI in May 2015. MRI report says that there is no evidence of AVN at all. The report was normal, with no sign of any signal showing AVN, no more bone edema (swelling of bone). I shared my story and experience about my AVN with members of the AVN group on Facebook. I met many people in this group and today nearly 35-40 people are practicing a NATURAL diet. Just like me, their pain has reduced and they are moving towards living a normal life. Today I am contributing 80% of the time as an active propagator of a NATURAL diet for the Noble cause of helping others, and also the founder of OJAS LIFE!!
