To Mr.Cricket S and other elite critiques, when you and your relatives fall sick due to metabolic disorders or diseases due to infection by external organisms, do you go to see an allopath or an ayurved/hakim/homeopath ? Till penicillin was isolated and small pox vaccine was made through rational thinking, the average life expectancy in India was 20 years, today it has reached 50-55 years readers, is there any treatment for malaria, cholera, tuberculosis, pneumonia etc in ayurveda. Ayurvedic drugs prescribed today, on analysis by mass spectrometry, invariably shows corticosteroids and other established allopathic drugs in suboptimal doses which act as the curing agent. Ayurvedic doctors have been caught prescribing Roulfelia serpentina ( a medicinal plant) and opium for diabetic patients, the patient sleeps almost whole day. Rabindranath Tagore made a remark our nationalism should not stoop to the level that we worship the dogs on the streets because the streets are in India and kick out the gods of science and technology of western countries because they are not Indian. That is another sort of fanatism. Western medicines have evolved thru intensive research and rational drug designing and we must aceept and use them with due respect. We must bow to knowledge which is life saver. The holy communist saints and idiots can go to hell to look for their medicines. I care a damn re their castes. Some guys on this blog board appear mentally retarded.
