Nature, sport. Natural ajurvedic supplements whit herbs, fruits,roots in them wont harm only heal.

Oh they won't, huh?

By the way it's Ayurveda, not ajurveda. wooooo~

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurvedic#Safety

Quote:Rasa shastra, the practice of adding metals, minerals or gems to herbs, may have toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic. Adverse reactions to herbs due to their pharmacology are described in traditional ayurvedic texts, but ayurvedic practitioners are reluctant to admit that herbs could be toxic and that reliable information on herbal toxicity is not readily available. And there is communication gap between modern medicine practitioners and Ayurvedic practitioners

According to a 1990 study on ayurvedic medicines in India, 41 percent of the products tested contained arsenic, and 64 percent contained lead and mercury. A 2004 study found toxic levels of heavy metals in 20 percent of ayurvedic preparations made in South Asia and sold in the Boston area, and concluded that ayurvedic products posed serious health risks and should be tested for heavy-metal contamination.

As far as healing goes...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurvedic#S..._appraisal

Quote:As a traditional medicine, many ayurveda products have not been tested in rigorous scientific studies and clinical trials. In India, research in ayurveda is undertaken by the statutory body of the Central Government, the Central Council for Research in Ayurveda and Siddha (CCRAS), through a national network of research institutes. A systematic review of ayurveda treatments for rheumatoid arthritis concluded that there was insufficient evidence, as most of the trials were not done properly, and the one high-quality trial showed no benefits. A review of ayurveda and cardiovascular disease concluded that the evidence for ayurveda was not convincing, though some herbs seemed promising.

Two varieties of Salvia have been tested in small trials; one trial provided evidence that Salvia lavandulifolia (Spanish sage) may improve word recall in young adults, and another provided evidence that Salvia officinalis (Common sage) may improve symptoms in Alzheimer's patients. Many plants used as rasayana (rejuvenation) medications are potent antioxidants. Neem appears to have beneficial pharmacological properties. Turmeric and curcumin have shown effectiveness in preventing and treating cancer.

Recently, there are some PubMed indexed journals being published in the field of Ayurveda.

There is no evidence that this stuff does anything at all to help with neurological conditions, and its benefits can just as easily be replicated by drinking a glass of V8. Stop selling us snake oil, nobody wants it.

I am so far beyond merely tired of people saying "NATURE WILL CURE YOU!"

Nature will murder the fuck out of you if you just traipse into it and start devouring random shit. Isn't the ratio of edible-to-toxic plants for humans like one in ten? Natural remedies can eat my asshole, I'm not trusting some uneducated dipshit who just plucks and grinds up random fucking plants and sells them to a bunch of dumb-shit white-bread yuppie fucks who think that horse-hair tampons will prevent ovarian cancer or some shit.
