5000 year old understanding of the mind and body. wow, sign me up for ayurvedic brain surgery. people that are happy to pay for a placebo and a story deserve to have their money taken away.
excellent worker!

As a student of Ayurveda, you have given me a better understanding of my studies. Also pronunciation of the Sanskrit words were helpful.
Thank you. You are AWESOME!!!

This was an excellent lecture!! I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about ayurvedic medication, as I am looking for an alternative to taking traditional psychiatric meds for anxiety and depression. 5 STARS!!
GREAT INFO….
“Postmodern physics, physical chemistry and astrophysics all talk about binding energy.”
interesting point.
Thank you for a good lecture. Namaste
The best anti-aging product I’ve ever seen is actually Alex Chiu’s Magnetic
Discovery. The other people are just nonsense.
The rats are jumping ship.
CHEMRISK – a research company hired by the Corn Refiners Association has recently taken down it’s YouTube channel.
The removal was in response to negative public perception resulting from the discovery of dangerous levels of MERCURY in HIGH-FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. Apparently it has become a liability to defend the sweetener.
See one of the last remaining ChemRisk videos at CornRefinersAssoc on YouTube.
why?
“one that doesn’t exist and is an advertising ploy?”
you’re talking about a site where users can freely update information regardless. As KRS-One would say, “you must learn.”
peace and may ayurvedic medicine grant you health and good tidings.
i advise you, DONT GO ON THAT WEBSITE

4. her comments pointed to epistemologic arguments about ayurveda. Perhaps people who can’t think on the frontier of science can’t get it. She is on.
5. hinduism was not religion:it’s a lifestyle & world view. White man made ‘hinduism’ a religion ‘worshipping elephants & monkeys.’ Ayurveda is a choice of how to live life. Calling it fake science just says the speaker does not understand science….
2. Ayurveda is sometimes translated in different ways because the Sanskrit doesn’t translate to english directly. ‘Is that vague bull**it?’ Go take a class in linguistics.
3. Postmodern physics, physical chemistry and astrophysics all talk about binding energy.
1. I am surprised by threadysparrow’s thready comment. Bernard Osher has granted several universities funding to start Osher centers for better understanding the healing that should underlie the science of medicine. And just because it doesn’t have a wiki entry, why does that mean it can’t exist…?
the osher lifelong learning institute doesnt even have a wikipedia entry. what kind of “institute” doesnt even have a wikipedia article? one that doesnt exist and is an advertising ploy. that kind!
Science is now proving in recent years, what ayurveda has theorised a long long time ago.
Ayurveda is an ancient school of thought. It was scientific when it was first conceptualized. There are ayurvedic products that have been shown effective under controlled conditions. Recall Frankenstein, “These were men to whose indefatigable zeal modern philosophers were indebted for most of the foundations of their knowledge.”Frankenstein, Chapter 3
1 Minute and 51 seconds into the speech, and I’m already bothered. Ayurvedic is SOMETIMES translated into science of living? systematized wisdom is sometimes called science? I smell vague bullshit….binding energy? who knew that this lady did such hard hitting research. this is religion with a faked science badge stapled on.
Excellent presentation on Ayurveda! Must see.
