Description: TITLE OF THE INVENTION A PHARMACEUTICAL AYURVEDIC PREPARATION FIELD OF INVENTION This invention relates to a pharmaceutical ayurvedic preparation for the treatment of leukemia. The preparation of the present invention has a particular application for the treatment of acute mycloid leukemia, acute promyelcocytic leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing the pharmaceutical ayurvedic preparation. PRIOR ART Chemical pharmaceutical preparations are normally prescribed for treatment of leukemia. No prior public literature is known for an ayurvedic preparation for treatment of leukemia. OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION An object of this invention is to propose a novel ayurvedic preparation for treatment of leukemia. Another object of this invention is to propose an ayurvedic preparation for treatment of leukemia and which does not have any side effects. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, there is provided a process for the preparation of an ayurvedic preparation comprising in the steps of subjecting silver, mercury, sulphur and arsenic trisulphide to the steps of detoxification, grinding the detoxified mercury and silver m the presence of a citrus juice and then adding detoxified sulphur and again subjecting to the step of grinding to obtain a greyish black powder, adding detoxified arsenic trisulphide thereto and subjecting to the step of grinding, imparting a shape such as a ball thereto, coating the ball with detoxified sulphur in the presence of a citrus juice and subjecting the coated ball to the step of slow firing, adding detoxified arsenic trisulphide and firing, repeating said steps of addition and firing ground in a citrus juice such that the weight of the ball is reduced by at least 10% to obtain an intermediate, adding serpentive and delphenium root thereto. The expression detoxification used herein is not intended to imply that silver, mercury, sulphur and arsenic trisulphide are treated such as to detoxify the elements in the mixture stage, but to imply that such elements do not exhibit any adverse side effects in the end preparations. In accordance with this invention, silver in a purified form which is subjected to a step of detoxification. Such a step of detoxification consists in converting silver bars into sheets and then to repetitive steps of heating and introduction into sesame oil. By way of example and without implying any limitation, such a step of heating and introducing into sesame oil is repeated several times, such as seven times. Thereafter, the treated silver is again heated and then introduced into butter milk. The step of heating and introduction into butter milk after each step of heating is also repeated several times, such as seven times. The partially detoxificated silver is again heated and then introduced into cow urine and which step is repeated several times, such as seven times. The treated silver is again heated and introduced into a herbal composition. Such a step of heating and introduction into a herbal composition is again preferably repeated several times, such as seven times. The herbal composition comprises amla, harar and behera and present preferably in equal parts. The treated silver is again heated several times and then after each step of heating is treated with kutli. Such a step is also repeated several times, such as seven times. The aforesaid step consits in the detoxification of silver. The process of the present invention includes the step of detoxification of mercury. For this purpose, an amalgam is first prepared from a mixture of copper, which may be in the form of wire, in lemon juice and mercury. Preferably 1/2-1/8 parts of copper wire is added to every one part of mercury which is then ground to obtain an amalgam. Such an amalgam is then subjected to a step of distillation to extract mercury therefrom. The step of grinding and distillation is effected several times in order to obtain detoxified mercury. Preferably but without implying any limitation to the step of detoxification is carried seven times. The next step is the process consists in the purification of sulphur. For this purpose, crystalline sulphur is introduced into a crucible and having melted butter therein. Preferably, equal amounts of melted butter and sulphur are introduced into the crucible and heated on a low fire. Trifla is then added to the mixture and whereby a scum of pure sulphur is formed and removed. The process also comprises in introducing arsenic trisulphide disposed within a cotton cloth and introduced into a vessel containing calcium oxide solution and then into another vessel of pumpkin juice or vice versa. The arsenic trisulphide is heated in calcium oxide solution and pumpkin juice for a period of 3 to 5 hours, such as 4 hours and, then dried. The next step in the process consists in grinding detoxicated silver and mercury in the presence of citrus juice, such as lemon juice, and such that detoxicated silver is dissolved in mercury. Preferably, one part of detoxicated silver is added to one part of mercury and ground in the presence of lemon juice to form a powder. Thereafter, purified sulphur is added thereto and ground to greyish black powder. Preferably, one part of purified sulphur is added thereto. Upon grinding and obtaining a greyish black powder purified arsenic trisulphide is added to the greyish black powder in the presence of a citrus juice, such as lemon juice, which is then subjected to a step of grinding to obtain a paste. Such a paste is shaped into balls and then air dried. Preferably, one o part of arsenic disulphide is added thereto. The next step in the process consists in coating such balls with a paste of sulphur in lemon juice. Such a ball is introduced into an earthenware vessel which is sealed with a strip of cotton and dipped in clay. The 5 vessel is introduced into a bed containing dry cowdung which is then fired such that the temperature rises to a temperature of 500-600°C and then gradually reduces. The vessel is then opened and arsenic trisulphide is added thereto in the presence of lemon juice and subjected to o the step of firing. The step of adding arsenic trisulphide and firing is repeated 30-60 time to obtain a more potent intermediate product, and such that the weight is reduced by at least 10%. Such an intermediate product is thereafter added to 5 serpentine and delphenium root and ground in distilled rose water for approximately seven days repeated with sandalwood water for seven day and finally with latakasturi water for seven days to obtain a paste which is then shaped into balls. 0 Further objects and advantages of this invention will be more apparent from the ensuing example and clinical trials . EXMAPLE Silver, mercury, sulphur and arsenic trisulphide was detoxified in a manner as described hereinabove. Thereafter, the ball was prepared consisting of: detoxified silver = 250 gms detoxified mercury = 250 gms detoxified sulphur = 500 gms detoxified arsenic trifulphide= 250 gms The ball had a weight of 1250 gms and then provided with a coating of detoxified sulphur ground in lemon juice and such that the coated ball had a weight of 1400 gms. Such a ball was then introduced into an earthen vessel or pot and sealed with a strip of cotton, dipped in clay. The vessel is introduced into a pit containing cow dung and fired. Such a process was repeated as shown in Table 1 to produce the intermediate product. Thereafter, the final product was prepared in a manner as described herein above .
