Dear Forum,

 

Re " /message/11844

Ayurveda being the first  medical system  introduced to the world has  abundant 

resources to tackle many  health problems of the Mankind including HIV.

This ancient  system   treats both body and the mind  simultaneously. As rightly

put by Dr Maniar   WHO  should take initiative in the mattar in the interest if

the whole mankind

Friends,

Re: /message/11844

No one can doubt or question any " Pathy " including Ayurveda.

This is not the pathy but its practitioner who can be doubted--my area of

concern (as I stated in some earlier mail too) is that such studies should be

well designed and not that in the name of Ayurveda we get carried away and allow

all sorts of trial that too on human beings (Including PLHWA).

We in Amritsar rejected one such ill designed trial based on false notions--had

we done that the persons concerned would have started selling their medicines on

the pretext that the trial is approved by NACO ( as they could manipulate

NACO-to give it to ethical committee for approval,of which I was a member).

I agree with our distinguished teachers Dr.Alka and Dr.Maniar that we should

encourage such trials,but I will like to add " with Caution " .

Published on 08/17/2010

Aizawl, August 17: Mizoram Drugs Control Administration on Tuesday has issued a

warning on the use of some Ayurvedic medicines meant for remedies of erectile

dysfunction called by some doctors as the Indian Viagra which have been found to

contain allopathic drugs.

A recent study conducted by the Delhi Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and

Research (DIPSAR) has found the presence of allopathic drugs in many

formulations commonly marketed as Ayurvedic or Unani remedies for people having

erectile problems, an official statement issued by the state drugs control

administration said.

The statement said that Slidenafil and Tadalafil, which are prescription drugs,

as well as allopathic medicines are found in Ayurvedic medicines like

supersonic, titanic K2, Sikander-e-Azam and 2much Gold.

It warned, " Slidenafil can be fatal for someone who is already taking medicines

that contain nitrates and it can also cause coma and hypertension if not taken

judiciously.

toothpaste like Dabur Red, Arodent, Dentobac and IPCO, " the statement added.
