I've never had an ayurvedic practitioner discourage allopathic methods
when they were necessary. Maybe that's because the one I had here in
the Bay Area was an MD and liked to draw the line between what things
ayurveda was useful for and when allopathic methods would be more
useful. If you break your leg you want to go see an allopathic
physician (unless your ayurvedic practitioner is an MD who can treat
such injuries). Even Dr. Lad's books have recommedations as to when
to see a doctor. Ayurveda is useful for prevention and and host of
ailments that allopathic is not often that good at treating. It is
particularly good for rebalancing the system which of course aids in
preventing disease and might be useful too along with some allopathic
treatments.
That said, I my MD practitioner, though he took the MAPI course for
doctors also took Dr. Lad's course so he wasn't purely practicing
Maharishi Ayurveda.

Barry, has anyone ever filed a lawsuit on TM-org regarding forcible

ManSlaughter, Criminal negligence etc etc. Maharishi himself would
have died if Chopra's father didn't stablise him and put him on a plane to
London.??

I feel certain that the peer-review research
provides ongoing comfort to Eli Butler, to the
numerous people who committed suicide on TM
residence courses or TTCs, and to the larger
number of people who died rather than seek the
dreaded and low-vibe Western medical care for
the ailments that afflicted them.
Please remember the TM buzzphrase and meme that
preceded any of the research, and that the
research was consciously or subconsciously
intended to prove -- TM is completely, 100%
life-supporting
That *had* to be reflected in the results of
any scientific study done on TM, because
Maharishi had said it, and therefore it *had*
to have been true.
Thing is, it's not.
The only difference between James Arthur Ray and
Maharishi is that Ray's PR machine was not as able
to keep such dogma- and faith-caused deaths out of
the papers as well as Maharishi's has.
