the most dangerous of all therapies, in 99% cases the active principle and its toxicity are completely unknown. the same is the case with homeopathy. both these therapies should be banned as unethical ways of harming a patient in the name of treating hisailments.

These are medicines but people easily mistake them for supplements. These should be taken only after consultation with reputed physician and not over the counter and strict diet should accompany as per his directions. The entire course too must be completed. So it is discipline on the part of the patient that is important here.

Agree with you. Ayurvedic treatment may be Ok for some chronic skin problems. Though allopathy is not perfect that is the best we have now. I am surprised that some people like Deepak Chopra are advocating Ayurvedic treatment.Deepak made huge money out of it from the gullible west.

I dnot know where from on earth these Chatterjeee's, babus come with no knowledge of the Magnanimous vedic knowledge and its traditions.
May be its because they were only taught the Communist history and not that of the Vedic Indias History and its glory in the Spiritual world. While most of the World considers India as the powerhouse of the Spiritual values and the time tested ancient knowledge, its sad to see that these chatterjee like half knowledged ones comes out with no hesitation to blame anything that is Indian.
It has been proved that Ayurvedic and Homeopathy type medications are the best since they are extracted mostly from the natural sources, while English medicines are for sure having the many side effects, for one actual benefit.
You test it out before making some crappy comments on some thing that you donot know. Be careful Chatterjee. While Bengal had produced Stalwarts lIke Swami Vivekananda, Swami Ramakrishna Paramahansa, Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda, Swami Tagore Ji, JC Bose etc, these current day Bongs donot have any clue about the magnanimity of the contributions of these stalwarts and their legacies of the Vedic Knowledge. WAKE UP Bengali Wake up. Otherwise, one day in the future, you will be asking India to give Bengal to be given to CHINA. Even CHINA accepted that India had won over China without even sending a single army by way of its superior culture, but what the current Bongs are doing is that they are making Bengal, a hot bed of terrors

Present day Ayurveda is a big scam. The real Ayurveda which was superior than allopathy was destroyed during the Buddhism era unleashed by Samrata Ashoka. Because as per the principles of Buddhism at that time suffering would give you moksha and suffering due to sickness etc. was a redemption of your past karma. In fact ayurveda had surgery procedure and was very advanced. Unfortunately all the artifacts and documents were destroyed. In most countries Ayurveda(internal medicine) is banned, since they found mercury, lead and other heavy metal. So Ayurveda per se may be ok but the mass manufacturing introduces too many toxicity to be considered safe.

Shut-up Sugata/Sunita, you are traitors of motherland, culture and its medicinal therapy.
You are not getting the business these days?
It seems you have studied in chrstian missionery schools and dont know any thing about our wonderful Ayurvedic therapies.
Our Ayurvedic therapies are proven for morethan 3000 years. You dont seems to have knowledge about over villages where home medicine/Ayurvedic medicines are the best available medicines. Hope I dont need to tell you idiots, the villegers are much happier and healthier than city centric people.

Sugata/Sunita are dogmatics when they say alternative medicine system should be banned, rather than saying we need to explore and investigate to segregate truth and myth out of them. Bandhu is dogmatic when he says something practiced for ages must be right - is it the same with child marriage, widow burning?

So you would rely on the western pharmaceuticals with dizzying number of side effects that have also resulted in deaths inspite of following the instructions???
Since you are so against these age old natural therapies that you want to see them banned, perhaps you should provide a better explanation as to why instead of a one-liner about the active principle and its toxicity. What makes you such an expert on the subject?? Just curious!!

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.
