Peter Rabbit

Dear Friends of Holistic Medicine, I am perhaps the only Westerner who lectures Ayurveda in India (Gujarat) & Sri Lanka. But you can (if u r open) learn a lot from me. First of all, Ayurveda has greatly been spoiled and its popularity is dropping rapidly in the West, thanks to those who a) regard it as part of Hinduism (thus attracting millions of esoteric and new-age freaks) b) those who want to make a quick buck rather than helping others (unfortunately this counts for India, too). c) Loads of shipping containers with Ayurvedic products were sent back to India, as they proved to be toxificated. Herbs, tea, oil, medicines etc. with mercury, lead, heavy metals and all sorts of chemical residues (from pesticides, fertilizers etc.) turned these products into "chemical cocktails". Farmers in Kerala are not trained or instructed by the gov. to grow herbs/spices organically. So why are Indians surprised that EU govts. ban Ayurveda step by step? Secondly, 99% of Indian ayurvedic doctors know little about the life style, climate, diets, social problems, stress etc. etc. in Western countries. Europeans need a European solution (!) to their problems - but based on ayurvedic principles. I am teaching this to a small audience who usually is very successful after attending my courses. For any further information please contact me directly. However, I teach only to those (MD or non-MD) who have the heart to help others. Business-minded folks can go to other schools, please. RR
