New York City has banned the sale of three Indian herbal products

and advised people against using them, claiming they contain

dangerous levels of lead or mercury.

 

The New York City department of health and mental hygiene says on

testing, it has found that "Jambrulin made by Unjha Ayurvedic

Pharmacy contains 24,300 ppm of lead, Lakshmivilash Ras (nardiya)

made by Baidyanath contains 14,100 ppm of mercury and Maha

Sundarshan made by Arya Aushadhi Pharmaceutical Works contains 2,190

ppm of mercury".

Hi all,

 

It is regarding ban of ayurvedic medicine in foreign countries. Firstly,

there are lots of medicines in ayurveda that use mercury, sulpher, and other

metals and minerals (depends on disese). each and every metal/mineral must be

purified by the ayurvedic method. Though the no. of indian companies follow

ayurvedic purification methods, the test result of that medicine is dangerous

because the test that undergoes through the allopathic standards.

unfortunatly there are no any standards in ayurveda to test ayurvedic medicine,

so there exists a need to make ayurvedic standards for testing of ayurvedic

drug. Ayurveda is total and complete science and also think about environment

where the patients live.

 

But one thing is that, a number of Indian Doctors and vaidyas treat

their patients through same medicines, and have not yet seen side effect of

ayurvedic drug. If in foreign countries, if there is any case of side effect, it

may be because of enviornment.

 

ok bye

Mypappuslaya,

Mercury and Sulphur are essential ingredients of several Ayurvedic

medicines made in "Rasshastra" branch of ayurveda. Some of these

medicines are extremely potent when chronic diseases of Central Nervous system

are involved and tackle problems where modern science has no solution. Our

member Dr Vidhyasagar uses Gandhak

Rasayana for leucoderma to scabies and eczema to psoriasis. He is

most appropriate Siddha doctor on this list to give you his experience on

Mercury based medicines. No adverse reaction, morbidity or death has been

reported so far in India, nor abroad which could be linked

to "mercury" in Ayurvedic medicine. Though New York picked up only three

medicines, hundreds of medicine will be available with Mercury in your

neighborhood. And this author has a good experince with Jambrulin, where a Type

2 Diabetic (for 15 years) patients insulin dose reduced from 40 units to 3 units

per day after he was given Jambrulin for three months. His renal function

improved from something like 350 ml urine output per day to 1500 ml per day.

Systolic B.P. dropped from nearly 170 to 120-130 in three months. Medicne

expenditure reduced to 15%. This bed ridden patient before starting of

jambuulin, now walks 1 km per day after three months time. ONe most important

fact which increased efficacy of Jambrulin was Panch Gavya medicines along with

Jambrulin. This wonderful result of Jambrulin, can it be attributed to lead

found in Newyork sample? Since ayurvedic medicines are not simple chemical

compounds working inside humna body as a reactor vessel, it is difficult to say!

 

A large volume of info on mercury in rasashastra can be obtained by doing web

search on "kajjali", the

compound of Mercury and Sulphur used in many medicines. Sulphur kills toxicity

of mercury effectively. Most places where mercury is used in ayurveda, it is

used in this way only, after killing its toxicity. The affinity between Mercury

and Sulphur is next to affinity between Hydrogen and Oxygen, their combination

making the basis sustaining human life. Your own research will tell you the

truth about mercury. . Now that ayurveda is

attracting world attention, attempts to malign it in this fashion

will help India only, since shrinking of exports will make medicines for Indians

in India less expensive. We in India see this as an effort by Big Pharma to

suppress spread of ayurveda in West. Since Mercury in vaccines is creating

problems, they see mercury in water, fish, in air, everywhere. If western

society wishes to fall for this propoganda, it is their free will.

 

On the other hand if you want to iresearch on effect of mercury on

children (e.g. Thimersol) you may join the list "autism-mercury"

(). It is a VERY high volume list though, so consider setting up with

"no email" or "daily digest". (It is about 80

messages a day). After you join you can take a look at

the FILES there.

 

And why worry so much about mercury when many more low toxic products are

getting into todays intelligent children:

Dear Estimed Doctors in this group,

 

You have mistaken my post. Infact it was my mistake not explaining

my intension of this post. I totally believe in these medicines and

I would take any of them if given by an ayurvedic doctor. My

concerns are

 

1. Why should we allow people to get a wrong impression on ayurveda?

2. Why can't something be done to establish something so that these

misconceptions are removed.

3.Why can't there be some tests to prove that these are not harmful.

4. Why can't the indian government/some one raise to make people

undertand better about ayurveda.

 

It is very difficult for me to see people losing the benefits of

ayurveda because of some stupid news like this.

 

Regards
