    The problem is with religion. Superstitious belief and religion are intertwined and you cannot separate the two. Religious belief leads to an irrational view of the world. The Soviets understood that very well, but you cannot control people's thoughts and many are gullible unfortunately.

    I need a source, because that's how you find out the truth. So, answer the question.
    Certainly, some herbs do have medicinal properties. Which herbs they are and whether they are used properly, is a different matter.
    The question is what evidence there is for "curing disease with help of Ayurveda & Yoga". Even if some herbs have medicinal properties and herbs are used in Ayurveda, that does not lend credence to the system as a whole, which encompasses more than just the use of herbs.

Because some people said so? or is it because it is written on some old books? Sanal is just asking everyone to reason before you blindly believe. and you are calling him a fucker? :D Facts scares some people. :)

    "MD MBBS is Modern Medicine Degree this doc doesn't condemns Ayurvedas and Meditation. "
    What's relevant is not whether he condemns it, if he prescribes it, he is incompetent.
    Also, I don't care about any conspiracy theories you may have and if true, they only confirm what I said earlier about the state of medicine in India.

    "Edmaruku who cant even talk english you belive in him haha?" - Actually, he speaks quite good english, he just has a fairly strong Indian accent.

    "So you mean doctors*(with master degree MD my personal doctors i never go to MBBS only MD) dont know what they are doing ."
    Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. It could be that your education system over there is lousy, or that it's a part of your culture to mix fantasy with reality, but yeah, they don't know what they're doing.
    By the way, I shit better insults than the ones you're trying to use. The only thing about them that's insulting, is your assumption that I'd be insulted by them.

In India, lot of research work is going on Yoga and treatment is also undertaking in many hospitals. The prominent schools of yoga in South is Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhan Sanstha - SYVASA of Bangalore. It is run by the highly qualified people. You can check the same in web.

  • @SAsgarters
    @SAsgarters 11 лет назад

    Being a fraud is not a matter of opinion. Either it works or it doesn't and if it doesn't and the doctor knows it, he's a fraud. If it doesn't work but he doesn't know it, he's incompetent. If it works and he doesn't know it, he's a lucky fraud. If it works and he knows it, he better have the facts to back it up.
