	In a case report on rheumatoid arthritis, virechana showed significant reduction in RA factor to 50 IU/ml from earlier level of 94 IU/ml. Virechana followed by avoidance of allergens reduced the CRP level from 22.7mg/l to 1.8 mh/l. After 3 months of follow up the IgE levels reduced from 680kU/l to 53.7 kU/l. The 40% relief in pain and stiffness of joints were reported soon after the virechana.<ref name=GuptaSK/>		In a case report on rheumatoid arthritis, virechana showed significant reduction in RA factor to 50 IU/ml from earlier level of 94 IU/ml.

	A study conducted on 20 non-insulin dependent diabetes patients showed a better reduction in fasting blood sugar (FBS) and post prandial blood sugar (PPBS) levels through virechana, when compared with therapeutic emesis (vamana). The 51.5% reduction is observed in FBS levels after virechana, at the same time PPBS values shows 81.6% reduction. It is assumed that virechana acts on liver and pancreas as they are the sites of [[pitta dosha]]. It may reduce the hepatic glucose production or may increase the insulin secretion.<ref>Jindal N, Joshi NP.

	In another study conducted on 30 ~~dyslipidemic~~ persons, a significant reduction is reported in serum cholesterol, triglyceride and VLDL levels after virechana. LDL also shows reduction. Serum HDL increased significantly. Evacuation of [[pitta]] is the prime phenomenon achieved through virechana. Large amount of bile is excreted through virechana which results in reduction of cholesterol levels.<ref>Pooja BA, Bhatted SK.
