Hi John, I went to both sites, just to check. The first does give a good introductory on Ayurveda. The second, while I don't doubt it's truth at all, only serves to illustrate a point that applies to many things - Ayurveda is a system of medicine and is not the official "property" of anyone. The costs involved through certain organizations is astronomical and need not be so. It is simply a marketing ploy and has nothing to do with the validity of Ayurveda itself. I was taught by someone whose fees for everything have always been reasonable, who saved my life, and whose life so well-led is the greatest tribute to the system. Sally

But here is a *simple* explanation for a starting point. http://www.mugjoint.com/ayurveda/ Then here is an expose ( a rare thing ) reported in the JAMA about how they got roped in. http://nasw.org/users/ASkolnick/naswmav.htm An old mentor of mine in India said to understand such things is simple: "focus and think negatively for 80 years." Then he pointed out that the Alchemists/Sages had been working on the project for 4,950 years (then) and the conclusion was : "needs more work". Strange fact: More Returnee children are found in Kashmir zone than almost anywhere else on earth except for Southern France. Children born into an illiterate peasant family who clearly exhibit knowledge of a prior life, often of high standing ( the only ones possible to research, of course). When I went to visit the grave Of Jesus in Kashmir, a very small girl of about 4 or 5 came and had a long conversation with me in impeccable English. Then an amah came and took her away. Later as I was leaving my hotel, a man approached me through the Hotel Manager with one question: As his daughter was seen to be understood by me, would I tell him what language it was, please? She had suddenly started talking in English a year before and drove them nutz with it. I passed the details on to a good friend of mine in Delhi, who unfortunately, was later murdered. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
