WE ARE ALL ACTUALLY UNAWARE OF THE VAST GOODNESS OF AYURVEDC TREATMENTS,MOSTLY NEGATIVE STORIES ARE HIGHLIGHTENED THESE DAYS ABOUT AYURVEDA,I DONT KNOW WHY.....BUT THE GOODNESS ABOUT AYURVEDA IS RARELY IS BEING UNDONE
Whoever saying allopathy is bad, allopathy medicines trial a new drug for nearly 4 years before introducing. Everything about drug will be known before introducing.
Same way with serum, vaccines.
In unani they are using metals, and other drugs. Every food, drug has sideeffects. In unani u wont know the side effects. But allopathy doctor treat u with the knowledge of SE, so u are talking bout SE with allopathy.
Ayurveda is the best one with natural herbs. I can say far less SE than anything.

Allopathy is ok for the western world. And it should have been equally ok for Indians.
But, owing to the rapacious greed of western pharma MNCs who are strictly regulated by the FDA in run clinical trials, they turn to 'dunce' nations such as India to have their trials without proper regulations and safety standards !
Many of the allopathic drugs that are freely available in India and are prescribed by doctors are actually banned in the US and Europe !
So much so for saying without inhibition that allopathic drugs are 'always safe' !
There is no point fighting over which is better. I guess the way it has worked - Ayurveda/Unani etc have 1000 years of experience behind them and are very reliable when it comes to staying healthy, boosting immunity and treating ailments which have been there for a long time with mankind like cold, indigestion etc etc. For all other sicknesses (that are being discovered and exclusively identified as having a different cause like AIDS, cancers, Polio etc) as well as in surgical procedures - it is the modern medicine which is more useful. Where allopathy truly screws up is in situation like above when it comes to dieting, giving health advice because it does not have much history and enough research to back anything up. That's the reason their viewpoints on every issue changes very frequently. They're still discovering what is good and what is bad. Any study done for advancing one's career in medicinal research and pharmaceutical can not be a substitute for thousands of years of practical wisdom. However having said that - the problem with long held wisdom is that it gets distorted in the form of superstitions and old wives tales. So be careful and pick what makes sense and works for your body. Rest is all nonsense.
many truths in this article. Fruit is always good. Avoid cheap oils. Use pure ghee and coconut oil only. Don't use Tata iodized refine salt but use natural sea salt available loose in bazaar.

Coconut oil is composed of a group of unique fat molecules known as medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). Although they are technically classified as saturated fats, this fat can actually protect you from getting a heart attack or suffering a stroke.
Although coconut oil is predominately a saturated fat, it does not have a negative effect on cholesterol. Natural, nonhydrogenated coconut oil tends to increase HDL cholesterol and improve the cholesterol profile. HDL is the good cholesterol that helps protect against heart disease. Total blood cholesterol, which includes both HDL (good) and LDL (bad) cholesterol, is a very inaccurate indicator of heart disease risk. A much more accurate way to judge heart disease risk is to separate the two types of cholesterol. Therefore, the ratio of the bad to good cholesterol (LDL/HDL) is universally recognized as a far more accurate indicator of heart disease risk. Because of coconut oil's tendency to increase HDL, the cholesterol ratio improves and thus decreases risk of heart disease.

All oils can not be put in a bucket and be tagged "fats" and hence bad, so they were classified under mono-unsaturated, poly-unsaturated and saturated fats. The latter was considered bad. It now turns out that very little is known about the various types of saturated fats as well. The only ones, the west knew about was probably cheese and butter. Ghee and coconut oil is not known to be used much in the west, where most of these research are carried out. Apparently there is some new research that I don't want to go much into detail since Kamalaksh Shenoy has written about the same below. So all saturated fats, too need not be treated as one and the same. The point is all this western research is at a very nascent stage. The last word has not yet been researched. Whereas there is a lot of ancient research backed up by empirical evidence that the fats that we Indians used are not that bad as they are made out to be. On the contrary they may be having a lot of hidden virtues.

Exactly. If one can use a little common sense and logic one can see that saturated fats are present in milk, egg yolk, coconut, mother's milk no doubt to benefit the offspring. In fact it is essential to life but was dubbed unhealthy due to Western mumbo-jumbo science in collusion with oil seed companies and other vested interests

Mr. Rajkumar, I disagree. We as a species derive calories easily from fruit. We lack enzyme cellulase so we cannot break down cellulose and derive calories efficiently like herbivores. We lack enzyme uricase so cannot handle meat digestion as well as carnivores.
Fruit is our physiological food as a species for millions of years according to latest evidence

You are under a misconception Mr. Rajkumar.Kamalaksh Shenoy has put the point across clearly.
You may have heard the phrase, "If the gut is not healthy, neither is the rest of the body".
When coconut oil is consumed, the body transforms its unique fatty acids into powerful antimicrobial powerhouses capable of defeating some of the most notorious disease-causing microorganisms. Even the super germs are vulnerable to these lifesaving coconut derivatives. Coconut oil is, in essence, a natural anti bacterial, anti viral and anti fungal agent ( Fife , pp.57-76).
The antimicrobial effects of coconut oil come from its unique composition of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA)such as Lauric acid, Capric acid, Caprylic acid and Carproic acid. These medium-chain fatty acids give coconut oil its amazing anti microbial properties and are generally absent from all other vegetables and animal oils with the exception of butter
The allopaths spread half truths which are unhealthy for a common man. Ghee was once supposed to be good for health but now, it is a blacklisted item by these allopaths. There are many such instances when the doctors take a U-turn from what they once believed. Allopathy is a developing science, unlike Ayurveda and to some extent, Homeopathy, which are better developed schools of medicine that this X'tian school of medine, called allopathy.

The best care is ...prevention than cure. Take care of life and health at early stages and avoid any excess of food/stress. All type of medicines are having side effects

really? you have no idea what so ever,you ever heard of a thing called research? we know new things by doing it, and homeopathy is not a medicine system it is placebo effect.why dont you try it exclusively when you get a major disease the next time.india is full of idiots

Yes, Mr Octavian, India may be full of idiots, but the westerners are adamant idiots.

Quais, Unani is another school of medicine, dumped by your researcher community. If your science has limitations, you won't understand these medicines, which have no disastrous side effects like allopathy'sd.

it hasnt been dunped , science doesnt work like that, scientists dont hold a meeting and decide no more research on this subject or that people decide for themselves.it is very clear tha you don't know how research works

absolutely right. Allopath is a threat to our Bharat. Sugar is always dangerous. You can eat many other stuff to balance insuline. this article is misguiding.... Ayurved is the only truth & base .. developed more than 3000 years ago...

You think only about a situation of getting disease. There are many ways to improve immunity and NOT TO GET disease at all. There are many traditional Ayurvedic doctors never took vaccination for their entire family and live in natural ways
Re: Re: Re: Re: Half truths
by gaius octavian on Jan 10, 2012 06:26 PM
then why don't they give that miracle drugs to everyone? are ayurvedic "doctors" greedy or they just like to see people suffer?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Half truths
by gaius octavian on Jan 10, 2012 06:28 PM
people like that are the cause of polio and dpt still living in this country. all the west eliminated them but ignorant people like you make kids suffer
Allopathy is like X'tianity, which says, no salvation is possible for humans unless u practice it. Allopathy doctors also spread such minsinformation among the general public that Ayurveda and Homeopathy physicians are unscientific in their approach and hence, everybody should believe on allopathy and reject any other form of medicine. This is bad. All these myths are because of the half baked doctors, who have no thinking of their own.
