In keeping with the NDA government’s stated objective of promoting alternative systems of medicine, the country’s premier medical research council has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ayush ministry for conducting clinical trials of Ayurvedic formulations so that they become more acceptable on a global stage.
The first such trial is already on in Maharashtra for an Ayurvedic formulation for dengue. Talks are on for a second trial on a formulation used in Tamil Nadu for dengue and Chikungunya. However while the council is calling it a clinical trial the actual process would include all the usual steps of drug development including toxicity tests, animal testing and pre-clinical trials so that the medicines are at par with global standards.
“One problem with Ayurvedic formulations is that the composition varies from one person to the next. So we told them that the first requirement is standardisation, to ensure that every person who takes the drug actually gets the same medications So they took about a year to standardise the drug and come back with the medicine in the form of a pill. We will test not just the efficacy of the drug but its composition too. We will also do the toxicity tests etc it is like the usual process of drug development,” said ICMR director general Dr Soumya Swaminathan.
The Ayush ministry which is the nodal ministry for alternative systems of medicine such as Ayurveda, Siddha, homoeopathy, Unani etc, has taken a number of steps in the last few years for the promotion of Ayurveda. Prime minister Narendra Modi sometime back dedicated to the nation All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA) in Sarita Vihar built along the lines of the All India Institute of Medical Sciences. On Wednesday the National Medicinal Plant Board of AYUSH along with medicinal and aromatic plants stakeholders jointly organized a one day review meeting to examine the draft of National Policy of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants. Addressing the inaugural session of the review meeting, minister of state for AYUSH, Sripad Yesso Naik said that the Medicinal Plant Sector is an ancient as well as a sunrise Sector and it provides diverse opportunities to the country. He said that India could play a leading role in the global market of herbal product and herbal drugs.
The minister also launched the “Voluntary Certification Scheme of Medicinal Plants Produce (VCSMPP)”, designed by NMPB through Quality Councils of India (QCI).
Homeopathy is the only method of medicine established on seem and basic healing basic principle. This healing theory referred to as the “Law of Similarity” is the reliable basis on which homeopathy stands.The theory is easy – so simple that it seems desirable and contradictory at the exact same time. There is no jargon. There are no intricate explanations. There is no prerequisite of a research of anatomy or biology or even science for that issue. The basic principle simply states that a material making signs and symptoms of a disease in a typical man or woman shall be the remedy for a ill man or woman with related indicators of the ailment.It is neither witchcraft nor wizardry nor does it provide a psychological alleviation of indicators. It is the only true curative principle which exists. Its efficacy and successes are a loads in spite of the maligning strategies by standard allopathic medical professionals.Conventional medical science is established on the illogical premise that removal of ailment trigger will treatment the unwell. Let us just take the fig warts disease. Any classic pores and skin specialist will surgically remove warts or burn off them with substances. You can see that the condition is not cured as his clients hold returning. Medical professional is satisfied simply because he is certain of a normal revenue. Client is satisfied because the medical professional quickly gets rid of the unsightly warts sort his body.Each of them are quite ignorant in not realizing that the illness is not currently being remedied. Additionally, the disease is currently being suppressed and quicker or afterwards as the human body weakens this exact same disease will settle into internal organs. A little investigation will show that numerous cases of stones in kidney, bladder or gal bladder had commenced when warts dealt with by classic physicians.Additional abuse of patient proceeds by surgical removing of stones. In case of gal stones it is customary to take away the gal bladder itself and drive the affected person lead a existence of distress with many dietary limits. Even then the illness is not remedied and generally this sort of circumstances finish up with coronary heart difficulties, for coronary heart is the supreme organ where fig wart illness will settle to take its toll of human life.If these identical warts ended up treated by a homeopath, the illness would have been cured. It would have taken a number of months or months for warts to wither and drop with out the ache of chemical burning but the patient would have been spared the subsequent stones or hemorrhoids followed by agonizing heart difficulties. But in this later on circumstance none would have created a recurring income at the price of affected person.Thus the primary opposition to homeopathy stems from the concern of a curtailment of future income by the traditional doctors. They have no curative basic principle and entice the individual by promising a fast removal of results of the illness. The clients are gullible thanks to millenniums of social conditioning that trusts doctors and pays medical professionals to torture and sooner or later eliminate the individual.Homeopathy with its seem curative principle remains the only hope for mankind. It is time that governments begin funding investigation in homeopathy or at the very least allow it turn out to be an recognized program.
