as per my opinian it is not mention in any ayurvedic text that herbal medicine is free fron animal extract.swami treated lot of people they got quite good health.he claim that yoga is one of the best option to cure all chronic disese that is not cure by any allopathic therapy.
Keeping aside the pros & cons of the current controversy, I can vouch that anyone practising his Pranayama technique properly will definitely benefit.
I am a 50 year old guy and have been on BP medication for almost a decade.
I have never attended any of his 'shivirs' but have watched his programs on Aastha TV. After procuring his CD I learnt the Pranayama techniques (which are pretty simple to understand and practise) and have been doing the pranayama for about 8 months now.
After regular check ups with my allopathic doctor, I have been able to reduce the dosage of my BP medication by 75% as of now, since starting these exercises. I do not take any other medication. Hopefully, I will be able to get rid of the remaning 25% too pretty soon.
Well, no medication that I have tried (allopathy, homoeopathy, ayurveda) by itself, has had any benefit as the practise of Pranayama has shown.
The current controversy about animal/human material in his medicines is a different story altogether. Since I have no personal knowledge on these, I cannot comment. Let the law take its course.
What the heck - even arsenic is a medicine if taken in the right dosage for specific disease!!!
It appears that MNCs are behind this propoganda as they want to kill our ayurveda. In fact all biological products MNCs r preparing contain animal extracts.
I believe what Swami ramdev is doing for the society is good. I don't know what is there in his Aurvedic medicine, but the pranayam and yoga he is teaching to entire man kind is a good work which even government has to support.
I suffered from bone TB from 2003 to 2004 due to which my both hip joints were affected and I was un able to walk freely and I have become completely week. Though I used the English medicine there was not quick improvement even after 1 year of medication and after having good food as advised by my doctor. I also had side effects many times and I had to call my doctor and get the medicine changed. Only after I started doing pranayam and yoga there was fast improvement in my health and now I am OK.
The government is collecting hefty income taxes from the employees and what benefit is it giving to the common man. It is only spending crores of rupees for conducting elections twice in Bihar etc. Swamy ramdev is building hospital to serve the man kind.
This article shows that you are biased towards Yogi Ramdev's claims. The samples that Mrs.Brinda Karat obtained did have traces of animal and human remains. Is it not shameful,the so called followers of 'Love and Peace'(supporters of Swami Ramdev) attack CPI(M) office in Delhi?. Nothing can be solved through violence. Let us wait for the results of the investigations to come to a definite conclusion.
