Wondering whether earlier released BGR-34 and AYUSH-82 treatments for diabetes supported by govt. agencies had any real world impact, anybody know about people using these ?
 
So if he needs medical aid, will he renounce Western medicine and stick to Ayurveda?

What about weapons carried by his personal security team? Surely they are Made in India...

And his car. Surely it's not European...

He wants the best stuff in the world while tax payers get what they get.
 
No problem looking into all nooks and corners to get a cure. Chinese are good at this.
However for diabetes, long-term treatments like stem cell / cispr or ReCET (Re-Cellularization via Electroporation Therapy), etc. is best. An ideal cure shouldn't be hooking people onto medicines forever.

I have watched Dr. Mike and Dr. K talking about how treating people individually could be very effective, which I think is one of the principles of Ayurveda (But it will be very costly), but other than that, I am full-on Allopathy. Also, I do not think some plants having medicinal properties are that new and can't be all considered as Ayurveda or Homeopathy.
 
Pharma companies often use traditional medicine for drug design. Some times just repackaging the active compound.

Herbal medicine has used salicylic acid, the natural substance related to synthetic aspirin, from myrtle, willow and meadow sweet, since at least 2500 BCE.

Amen. Discovery of knowledge is not linear and predictable.

There is a saying in my part of the world: "When you lose your plate, don't forget to look into the handi (a cooking vessel with a narrow opening)."

But Ayurveda and Homeopathy is pseudo-science tho??

Homeo is total pseudo/placebo.

Ayurveda might have had actual scienctific roots and was cutting edge...thousands of years ago. It stopped getting updated/refined, and the limitation of sourcing active ingredients to natural sources like plants/animals severely restricts the scope of treatable conditions. A chemical can be natural or artificially prepared - the effectiveness is the same.

Think about this: did all these ayurveda/homeo practitioners refuse COVID vaccinations/treatments. If they meet with an accident, will they refused to go to a hospital? When it's their assess on the line they will choose what actually works.

People practitioning/promoting alternative medicine should be banned from receiving modern medical care. Until then they will keep spewing shit and looting naive populace.

How you will take on Drs and hospitals using chronically exploitive practices, misdirected 'scientific' medicine research, etc.

Unless there is more context, I doubt Sadhguru's statement means what the twitter poster thinks it does.

He's using the word chemical to mean something artificially produced i.e. not naturally occurring, hence "dangerous" whereas herbs = naturally occurring so 100% safe. Which is ridiculous. There are poisonous plants out there too.

Everything is a chemical: the water you drink is a chemical composition of hydrogen and oxygen. The food you eat is a chemical composition of various elements.

This is the same guy who thinks Lunar Eclipse is nothing but the monthly Lunar Cycle happening in fast motion. He doesn't care about the truth. He just wants to ride on sensationalism. He's not a sadh+guru. He's just a showman.
