    Really Sad news,

    Nowdays we here more jaundice related deaths in India. Most of the people ignore jaundice thinking that its normal disease. I remember when I got jaundice 20yrs ago it was like horrible 6 month with most care, ayurvedic kashaya and food control. Nowadays people just believe in medicine not in food control which is dangerous.
    (Disclaimer: I am not doctor just personal opinion :))
