Ayurveda is based on biochemistry. When I was in India even the cab
driver told me Indians were shying away from Ayurveda and using western
medicine. Problem is that so much of western medicine is also a sham
and becoming more so. The pharmaceutical companies are just drug
dealers. Put on a white coat and people will believe a lot things you
say. My late aunt was a RN and had tales of how goofy doctors could
be. She was more or less a "Nurse Jackie" in her time. ;-)

Right, Most Indian doctors, here in the west, know zip about Ayurvedic
med. Even tend to be a bit embarrassed about it. What I was getting
at, rather clumsily, was I would much rather trust my life to western
medicine than rely on the best efforts of the best *Vedic* doctor.
Can't actually remember the last time I saw a doctor that wasn't
Middle eastern or Indian.

Most Indian doctors I have known did not practice ayurveda but western
medicine. Difference between them and many western doctors? Most of
the Indian doctors actually were interested in medical science instead
of a way to keep themselves on the golf course for a few days of work
a week.

Don't you just love that TMO buzz word, *Vedic*. I guess it's better
than calling something *Hindoo*. Personally, I'd rather have a
good Jewish doctor over a good Hindoo doctor. Would you rather have a
series of blood tests, ECG, Echocardiogram. etc. and take reliable
medicine or Have your pulse taken, told to suck on a cardamom seed,
eat more ghee and do a yagya for about the same price.

Yeah, practicing meditation, in general, will tend to have health
benefits. It doesn't matter if it's TM or something else. Big "duh"
there. But care must be taken as we discussed the other day. TM is
not for everyone and it is certainly priced way out of most people's
reach.

More PR bullshit from Bobby Schneider - of course he would run and
write an article refuting the Wall Street Journal's article on the
limited benefits of meditation because if people see that one, they
are less likely to become lifetime paying members of the TM "We Are
Not a Cult Cult"
And this from the guy who as a cardiologist claims to be an expert
on "vedic psychiatry"
