There can be no doubt that Ayurvedic medications or Guiness might be / are useful. They might even be better than some or all of the allopathic drugs we know. But .... for physicians to ethically prescribe them to their patients, their effects, side-effects, benefits and/or side-effects must be studied, and their use justified.. Mario adds: I don't know about Guiness, but I can testify that there is NOTHING a fine bottle of Feni (hic!) will not cure - at least until tomorrow morning:-)) Best of all it requires no prescription from any physician:-)) BTW, it is high time that Ayurvedic as well as the so-called "alternative" medications were studied by unbiased organizations to the same standards as allopathic medicines, with or without the cooperation of those who produce them. We even have a Goanetter who is a major promoter of alternative treatments and medications who makes the most flamboyant claims which have never been put to any recognized test that every allopathic medication is put through: http://www.boloji.com/bookreviews/001.htm
