Santosh Helekar [Not if you count the careful and caring application of cowdung on the freshly cut umbilical cord of an infant. Those who have encountered this seemingly harmless act of healing have more often than not found out that the curative powers of cowdung, if any, are well masked by its smell and its potential to produce tetanus.]
Hundreds of thousands of little Indian kids used to die every year feom neonatal tetanus from this total ignorance. How about that little "ayurvedic" branch that is still being used to "expel" a pregnancy - ONLY to perforate the Uterus? There is some benefit from our home remedies. No doubt about it. But in general, African bush medicine & Indian Ayurveda is a infinitely less purifies form of Allopathic medicine. Not to say that Allopathic Medicines do not have side effects. They do...but much less that the bush. There is a disease called VOD(veno-occlusive disease) which occurs quite commonly after the consumption of these "bushes". BTW: attention Rt. Wingers - NOT talking about your guy!....take it easy.... jc for TGF ===== Recommended Goan Sites in Cyberspace Goa-World at http://www.goa-world.net The Goan Forum is at http://www.colaco.net __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
