posted matter on this group

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

After joining this group, I went through the archives out of curiosity and with

a desire to know more about ayurveda. I was rather shocked by some posts where

people with an allopathic mindset attacked genuine ayurveds when they sought to

help with the queries of the patients who posted their problems. They had

nothing constructive to offer but sought to deride others with their "modern"

knowledge. My posts were a humble pointer to the fact that "modern" knowledge

was not always better than genuine knowledge.

 

I think Dr Bhate's recent posts are a milestone in the development

process of this list. He may be writing a book but it is wonderfully

magnanimous on his part to share his knowledge with us.

 

Those with a penchant for allopathy should go through the Times of

India of 1st Sept'05, where the Union Health Minister of India, Dr

Ramadoss, an allopathic physician himself, has lamblasted an

internationally famous science magazine for carrying a vindictive

report against a popular alternative health care system.

 

AYUSH, the Govt of India initiative to promote the cause of alternate

medicine, is trying its best to restore the original glory of

ayurveda. And they are thinking exactly in the line of Dr Bhate.

 

Members are requested to be in synchronism with reality.

is being unnecessarily dragged into this diatribe. He is a very

sincere physician who explains what he says and has abundant expertise and

experience behind him. He is always constructive and never destructive.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.
