Guest guest Posted August 10, 2006 Report Share Posted August 10, 2006 Dear Anti Jagat and Jagat; Life is a chemical, a set of organized molecules or matrix of strings (as per chaos theory) and all that in imbalanced condition and moving. Laws of physics differ at levels of biology, or chemical, or molecular or psychological or quantum level or at levels even beyond time and space. Similarly, at certain levels, medical science gives predictable results, and at certain other times, medical sciences fail. To criticize anything is wrong. Be kind to scientists. Science is civilization of blind-men. If there are blind men all over, they are very good at measuring everything, and give it a lot of definitions. By this way, every communication between blinds becomes highly verifiable. They will be very intolerant, and will like to regulate everything. In that sense, blind men know far more by their measurements than those with eyes. Empirical observation is relative and a sum and purified empirical observation that helps to have predictive qualities, is their sciences. I am against any regulation of sciences or non sciences. I also am against criticism. Neither are sciences bad nor good. It is just a matter of a state of relative comments. Medical sciences and Ayurveda can coexist and it is a matter of survival of both and to work in complimentarily. As long as we are a set of medicals, we are uses of medical sciences, and as long as we are spirit or soul, we are a condition in Ayurveda.

They have either not worked at all, worked unsatisfactorily, or had undesirable side effects. This proves that there is more than just the " active ingredient " that is involved. And may I ask, if natural products are available then why should we go in for chemicals? If chemicals are dangerous in the environment, as pesticides in food, then why are they not harmful as medicines forced into our fragile natural body? And may I also ask why emphasis is not given to nutrition and natural modes of healing in modern medical science? Today the doctors seem to exist only as salespersons for the drug industry. They only know how to prescribe medicines. They do not bother about prevention of disease or about counselling patients. Let me remind you doctors, that the doctors real task is to PREVENT disease and not try to treat it after the disease has occurred. In China there is the practice to pay the herbal doctors only when the people are healthy. The payment is stopped when the people fall ill because it denotes that the healer has failed in his duty. Our anger is not directed against specific doctors, they can only practice what they are taught. We are against the system called modern medicine and we wish the doctors to realise the truth and bring in the required reforms instead of opposing them. Regards, Jagannath.
