Thank you sir. However I never write outside as unintelligent jumped to such conclusions and wrote over here many times which I ignored; but your comment today appeared to be hasty generalisation. Your opening phrases sir:
The only organism in the whole of the Biosphere that, fears and worries about disease is the human. *In free and healthy nature, one actually felt the continuously reassuring feeling from nature as part of smelling and sensing besides hearing the musical sounds of nature, all of which simply did not allow any fear. Actually one smelt and heard health which became the hormonal messages of the bloodstream. The cells received the assurance laden hormonal messages, the Theism emanating from the air.* KR 1 fears and worries and not just worries about the diseases that are the main subject. The disease is the main factor for humans and that disease alone makes him fear and worry. (not worry as a disease) 2 "in a free and healthy nature,.........one actually felt the continuously reassuring feeling from nature,............nature waived that fear. The cells received the assurance laden hormonal messages, the Theism emanating from the air.(from that fear of disease which is, not only body problem but also mind problem). Now such a cure is available resting the disease and the body found by the ancient rishis as ayurvedam. I never give all on a platter explaining the context like exams, as all are grown ups and know better than me; so ergo sum cogito. Now please read and tell me whether ayurvedam fits the data you wanted?

On the other hand, the word Allopathy has Greek origins. Firstly, >> ‘állos’ means different and ‘pathos’ means sickness together it means >> ‘Other than illness’ >> >> Focus : - >> >> Ayurveda focuses on naturally curing all diseases of the body. Ayurvedic >> doctors will focus on not just physical health but mental health too using >> alternative medicine. However, Allopathy is backed by science (KR? Which >> science). All medicines and treatments used in Allopathy are clinically >> tested to cure ailments and diseases. (KR: clinically found to be the >> correct cure but altered later and kept on changing, proving the old >> science as wrong!) >> >> Approach to treatment : - >> >> The approach to Ayurveda is more holistic. Ayurvedic doctors go to the root >> cause of the problem and then a plan is created to remove the root cause of >> the disease. This treatment includes taking care of mental health along >> with physical health. Thereafter, the approach to Allopathy is not >> holistic. Allopathy doctors will spot treat diseases and issues. The aim of >> Allopathy >> is to provide a quick cure to any given physical disease. >> >> Long-term effect : - >> >> Ayurvedic treatments are more long-term. It is not limited to immediate >> treating of any disease and providing quick relief. As stated above, the >> root cause of the problem will be addressed and the overall quality of life >> of the patient will be better. Allopathy will remove the current problem >> but the cure is not permanent. If any further issues arise, they will be >> approached in the same way.

Ayurveda will permanently remove the bacteria from the system >> while Allopathy will kill the bacteria but traces of it could remain in the >> system and crop up later. >> >> Cost : - >> >> Another deciding difference between Ayurveda and Allopathy is the cost >> between both. Ayurveda is *significantly* lower in cost than Allopathy. >> The same is for procedures and treatments for Ayurveda and Allopathy. >> Ayurvedic treatments are much cheaper and one does not have to keep going >> back for more treatments. >> >> Side Effects and Healing Time : - >> >> Ayurveda is a completely natural method of diagnosing and treating >> patients.
