Relevance of modern science to ayurveda

[Guest guest]

Dear Dr Durgesh/Dr Bhate,

 

I am in awe of both of you, for your knowledge and your attitude of service.

Both of you are also extremely balanced in your views. Therefore it is with

great humility that I attempt to try and give a reply to your posts.

 

I personally believe that allopathy not only created a false notion of disease

by harping on germs rather than on strengthening the immune system, it also

divorced us from our rich culture of do's and dont's that kept our civillisation

disease free for many generations. I cannot recall any other period in history

where mankind has been more diseased and depraved than today. I call allopathy

the vehicle of " kali yuga " .

 

We had always both prayed to God, kept our vows and gone to the physician. This

ensured a strong and robust health both at the physical and mental levels. It

also kept us spiritually connected to our source. However allopathy declared

that mans' karma had no relation with his disease and that antibiotics and

vaccinations would be enough to make us disease free. They even talked of

conquering death. However this notion was soon proved to be wrong when people

came down with lifestyle illnesses, direct offshoots of our karma and results of

straying away from the simple, honest, hardworking, and prayerful attitude of

our ancestors.

 

I agree that no " pathy " can match the diagnostic tools of allopathy. They are

essential to tackle the much complicated disease states of today. But whether

these disease states would have occurred in the first place had we restricted

ourselves to ayurvedic, naturopathic or homeopathic systems should be a subject

of debate. Even the miracle surgical cures advertised by allopathy are often for

cases that have been rendered incurable by overuse of drugs and allopathic

interventions.

 

Had people borne in mind that disease is an offshoot of our own wrong attitudes

towards life, not only would we have had a more healthy population but also a

saner society. I think as ayurvedic doctors yourselves, you must be fully aware

of what is causing the falling moral values of our so called civillised society.

Today disease has progressed to such a level that erroneous glandular activity

is leading even our younger generation astray. We should be ashamed of belonging

to a society where twelve year old teenagers rape a woman old enough to be their

mother after watching a movie. This is what our motherland has been reduced to

as a result of the debased culture ushered in by the false promises of

allopathy.

 

As has been detailed by an article I have posted earlier today, allopathy is

based on our vegetable system. Today it seeks to ban that same system because it

proves a threat to their synthetic drugs. This is what I call " the allopathic

mentality " .

 

You also must be aware that allopathy has yet to come up with satisfactory cures

(not mere palliation or suppression) in case of any chronic disease. On the

other hand, homeopathy, which is the exact opposite of allopathy, has truckloads

of clinical evidence where remarkable cures have taken place. I myself am one of

those cures. Two decades earlier I was a bedridden vegetable. Today I am

fighting for thousands, nay, millions of others who I know can be helped

immensely if only they switched their system of treatment.

 

Please do not get taken in by promises of " integrated medicine " . You will be

doing your patients a lot of harm if you practice different modes of treatment

on them which pull in different directions. It would be like committing murder

taking into consideration the severely impeded vitality of today's generation.

If ayurveda has to cure patients it has to do it alone and without letting its

principles getting polluted by the very system that sought to systematically

destroy it to gain access to the immense " market " in India.

 

You only need to come to Orissa to know how the first British allopaths

systematically burnt thousands of ayurvedic palm leaf and copper manuscripts.

They also cut off the hands of the practicing ayurvedic surgeons so that the

science could be lost for ever. Even today a cave near Bhubaneswar bears

testimony to drawings of the anatomy and physiology of human beings that would

put a modern allopathic surgeon to shame. Therefore please do not say that

ayurveda on its own would never have access to details of the physical body. The

ancient ayurveds dipped the human caracass in water and then peeled it layer by

layer to study the subtle aspects of the human anatomy. Had ayurveda continued

in the same vein today it would be the undisputed king amongst the healing

systems of the world. As I have pointed out earlier ,in a different post, even

homoeopathic principles were not unknown to ayurveds.

 

The allopathic industry that today seeks to ban alternate medicine in the name

of safeguarding the interest of the worlds population should first look at the

statistics of people routinely killed by its own toxic drugs. Today, faced by

intense public pressure, this obnoxious science is trying to blend itself with

other modes of treatment to ensure its continuity. I feel no self respecting

individual should allow that to happen. We have spoiled our lives but we should

ensure that our children at least be spared the ravages of allopathy.

 

Regards, Jagannath.
