Are You Aware Today's Medicines Can Be Banned Tommorow?

Allopathy and Ayurveda are systems of medicines that are always at loggerheads. The differences are visible on the very basic principles of these two systems of medicine. While Allopathy believes every disease can be cured by fighting the disease causing parasites with chemicals, Ayurveda firmly believes in utilizing the inherent strength and ability of the body to resist diseases and keeping itself healthy.
While Ayurveda medicines are aimed at balancing all the different systems of the body for a healthy state, Allopathy medicines aim at removing the symptoms of the disease.
While Ayurvedic is primarily a preventive medicine, Allopathy is a curing medicine.
Little research has been into Ayurveda in the past 2000 years. Thousands of researches have been on about Allopathy medicine in the past 50 years.
Ayurveda suggests usage of medicines or medicine combinations that will cure any disease while not causing any disturbance to other parts of the body system. Contrast it against allopathic medicine and it will be very hard to find Ayurvedic medicines or treatments that are at least half a way free from side effects.
Allopathic drugs that have been on market are quickly banned. Medicines banned at one or a few countries find flourishing markets at all other countries.
See a list of medicines that are banned in the West, but are freely available in Indian market at http://www.liveindia.com/news/zk.html.
Also see the side effects of a well circulated medicinal component called Phenylproanolamine or PPA as revealed in an FDA study at http://www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/ac/00/backgrd/3647b1_tab19.doc (MS Word document).
Yes, these medicines were once deemed safe and the use of which was in accordance with law. However, it is only later that the side effects of serious propositions come to the notice of medical fraternity.
Doctors prescribe and ordinary people use the drugs that come out of factories. Only after use by many thousands of people, do we know the side-effects were stronger than expected. It is not a wonder if some doubts the effectiveness and safety of a synthetic drug.
Look at the primary requirement of an Ayurveda medicine – a medicine must not bring forth another imbalance (in the body).
The world today acknowledges this difference and there is no wonder more people are attracted to the 5000 (or more) year old system of medicine that has for some time remained dusted under the history.
With this system of medicine, people don’t have to worry about outdated or banned drugs. One can believe they will be cured while they are cared.
Ayurveda curesÂ… while not experimenting with the health (and life) of individuals.
If you have not yet taken the steps to actively pursue the benefits of Ayurveda, it may be (excuse me, it IS) time to learn the wonders of natural method of care and cure that address not only the disease or the body, but also the person as a whole!
