Curcumin (a turmeric compound) and black pepper tablets to panchgavya, a mixture of five cow products, at least 19 ayurvedic combinations have received approval for clinical trials.
In an interview, AYUSH Secretary Vaidya Rajesh Kotecha tells ThePrint data from trials indicated alternative medicine therapies prevented severe Covid symptoms among people in quarantine.
While not using it for treatment, the state government has come up with Ayurveda action plan to promote it as a way of improving immunity in the general population.
Researchers say refusal to accept evidence in support of the immunomodulatory potential of AYUSH systems is ‘neither in the interests of people nor science’.
The Madhya Pradesh govt launched a scheme Monday under which it will distribute one crore packets of ‘Trikatu Churna-Kadha’ and 3 lakh bottles of Anu herbal oil.
AYUSH Minister Shripad Yesso Naik also tells ThePrint that action will be taken against those spreading unsupported claims of alternative medicines to fight coronavirus.
While the commission didn’t mention provisions under which IndiGo's market domination would be examined, Competition Act 2002 prohibits abuse of dominant position by any enterprise.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
Certainly it will take time to understand
AURVED BUT IT CAN’T BE DENIED
WAIT & understand the science which has taken 1000’s of years to get developed and practiced with success.
Using cow urine and dung, which are most unhygienic excretory waste products of cow just like human faeces, to treat Covid is primitive and inviting more health problems.
A sensible way is to find out what component or components together in cows urine give the curing effect, if there is one and go for synthetic source or more cleaner sources for those active components and do the treatment. Encapsuling cows urine or dung or even Pancha gavya and use it as a medicine is a hazardous and unhygienic approach. It shall be discouraged.
The logic of quacks like Dineshchandra Pandya: I have “experience” treating fever. So I know how to handle COVID-19.
Ayurveda has no knowledge of fever. People frequently died for just fever in pure herbal quackery days. But that’s ok because these people have no knowledge of history either.
Now these quacks freely use Paracetamol along side their useless herbs and say it is all because of their herbs.
I think “spearheaded” is a strong word for describing trials by dimwits such as “Dr” Dineshchandra Pandya.
More like sloppily dragging to pre-defined conclusions.
Also, curcumin has long been debunked (2017).
Google: Forget what you’ve heard: Turmeric seems to have zero medicinal properties
“Much effort and funding has been wasted on curcumin research,” Gunda Georg, co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, which published the review, told Nature. At least 15 studies on curcumin have been retracted from scientific literature, and dozens more have had corrections appended to them. And, yet, most people working in the field aren’t aware of the mischievous properties that curcumin has.”
The fact that Ayurveda is a cure for a lot of ailments is beyond question…Lets not doubt & question its efficacy… The present finger pointing on ayurveda stems from the ascendance of the BJP in our country’s politics…. secondly domination of the western pharmaceutical giants…. these companies have huge money at stake….. they would not like these to be challenged…. Much like the accusation of the christians & islamists of naming hinduism as paganism, idolatorism… so there should be research into Ayurveda… but with the intention to find out why it works, rather than the other way round…
That’s not how research is done. Pre-deciding that something works and coming up with science sounding explanations is the opposite of science. That is what pseudoscience does.
Ok I get it now. Ayush guys vote for the BJP.
Sensible vote bank politics. Ayush people are true nationalists. All allopathic people are anti-nationals.

Turmeric works ..

Thousands of years ago they were seen smearing themselves in cow urine and dung. Today it isnt any different.
