That's the good thing about ayurveda: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Funny thing is, I was on a course in east europe once and someone said that all the ayurvedic stuff on sale was direct from India and had all the "precious" metals in it that they aren't allowed to export. We all got excited about being able to buy the "real" thing and loaded up with bottles and jars of stuff that promised all sorts of magical transformations. [Sigh] How innocent and trusting we were. At least I didn't get ill from anything, didn't notice any effect at all actually. Probably safer that way. When Amrit Kalash (Nectar of Immortality)went on sale the TMO did a big questionaire in the UKs sidha community hoping to get amazing tales of transformation, everyone was taking it of course. I mean, you would take it with all the fanfare that surrounded it. The reported results were so disappointing that the whole thing was quietly shelved and forgotten about. An amusing case of hiding the research that doesn't fit your claims. It never did anything for me.
