Why is Ayurveda a pseudoscience? It was based on observations made and documented 2000-3000 years ago. This, in principle, makes Ayurveda an ancient, traditional, faith-based system of complementary and alternative medicine with historical roots entrenched in primeval beliefs.

Ayurveda is not only a pseudoscience but also a “religion”. 💁🏾

Ask any Ayurveda practitioner to perform surgery by following exact procedure mentioned by Sushruta, when their relatives or themselves get ill and require surgery. Ask them to practice what's prescribed in Ayurveda for snakebite and dog bites? They'll run for cover. 😁😁

Honestly sir, what the modern science fails to prove is that, its manipulative, agenda driven possibilities. Unrealistic costs and the people who fund can doctor the results to their fitment. Many doctors use it to milk money for unaware public. Purely IMO

By the same logic how do you measure pain? Please specify. But you treat pain right.

Try comparing apples with apples instead of apples with oranges. Pain is a symptom. There are various Pain Scales to measure it. Ayurveda is a pseudoscientific principle. It is not a symptom we are discussing here. This is basics of biology and science which is taught in school.

I am not hear to debate on Ayurveda but on "measurable" comment. Can you measure something and say who is best talent(say artist) among a 100 people? If you look at their work it is just a symptom. In the world most things are not measurable it can only be relatable.

Whataboutery and Strawman arguments are poor tactics to bring to a debate.

I am quite happy that India's pseudoscience mascot decided to interview this Ayurveda practitioner. It clears a lot about the fact that Ayurveda is indeed a pseudoscience and none of its principles are worthy of being considered remotely "scientific" and that it can never be tested. This essentially means that we must not research anything in Ayurveda because it is a colossal waste of time and money. Listen to this intensely foolish conversation on how Ayurveda describes the cause for alopecia and how it is treated. I have never heard such utter nonsense on a large public platform like this. I am not even sure why 100s of 1000s of people login to this YouTube channel to watch the cringefest that is every millisecond, an insult to the neuronal circuits of the brain and an embarrassment to the existence of the evolved human brain. The whole aspect of Vata, Pita and Kapha principles that guide Ayurveda & diagnosis and treatment in Ayurveda are based on obsolete theories of air, mucus and bile imbalance leading to disease. These theories were made at a time when humans did not evolve to understand anatomy and physiology. "Humoral Theory of health and disease is absolute junk." Alopecia cannot be treat by rubbing a leaf. The reason for Alopecia is not a microlevel Kapha-style mucus block of the scalp. Here is what is real: HAIR LOSS TYPES: ALOPECIA AREATA DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT from I cannot beleive I have to debunk this ancient junk even in 2023. India is regressing in many ways than more in healthcare and health-seeking behaviour, it is worrisome - because seemingly educated fools like these two, who speak English, but do not make sense, are now controlling the healthcare spectrum on social media.

The classical response from Ayurveda practitioners or Ayurveda sympathizers (and other alternative medicine practitioners) when debating the role of alternative medicine in healthcare is to "go and study Ayurveda or read Ayurveda" to understand it better. This is a logical fallacy, a kind of escapism. Dr. Kanojia here, has not read the Ayurvedic texts, which is why, he keeps fielding for Ayurveda. India has a 5 year teaching course for students for Bachelors in Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery called BAMS. I have the complete syllabus collection of all curriculum approved text books of Ayurveda in my home library. I spent almost two years reading every single book taught in BAMS syllabus. Classical Ayurvedic teaching material is rich in misogyny, nauseatingly magical thinking, extreme levels of animal cruelty and meat eating, primitive observations, primal herbal and interventional therapies and principles of practice based on obsolete humoral and elemental theories of disease formation and diagnosis. For example: For treatment of large tumors, honey was applied over the growth, flies are allowed to lay eggs on the tumor and the maggots are allowed to eat the tumor from within. The residual tumor is then burned off. For women in obstructive labor, the hips, buttocks are beaten, the lady is made to inhale smoke from burned snake skin and feathers are used for tickling. For the treatment of tuberculosis (there was no germ theory at the time, but descriptions of emaciation in tuberculosis was observed) the patient is fed herbs and made to drink alcohol (alcohol is in fact one of the risk factors for tuberculosis as we know now) and cure is achieved by massages from "beautiful ladies." For treatment of seizures in children, demons were considered the cause (they still teach this in the BAMS curriculum) and such demonic possessions were slayed using prayers and chants. For treatment of diabetes (there was no knowledge of actual diabetes, it was called Premeha and there were different types of Premeha based on diet/ activity, semen quality and based on "doshas". Ayurvedic texts describe some of the causes of "diabetes" to eating meat and drinking milk. There are nearly 20 types of diabetes described in Ayurveda - which of course, is nonsense. For treatment of sexual disorders, testicles of various types of animals were boiled with herbs and the formulation applied or drank to increase sexual prowess and to "have sex with a 1000 women." The bottom line is, if you actually read/study the Ayurvedic texts, you'll realize how completely absurd & pseudoscientific the whole system is and you'll never vouch for it again. I am sharing some excerpts from BAMS textbooks in the subsequent post. Do not send your children to study BAMS and of course, do not read these texts. I did, so that you dont have to. It will take you to a dark place.

Can you believe that this elderly gentleman here was a Cardiologist and Professor of Medicine at Manipal Academy of Higher Education and holds MRCP, FRCP and FACC degrees honorably? He is now the real life version of one flew over the cuckoos nest. Sad to see such a downfall from celebrated medical practitioners. Same thing happened to Prof. M S Valiathan. Before he died, he spent many decades promoting the pseudoscience of Ayurveda and wasting large amounts of public funds studying an illogical concept called "Ayurveda Biology" - a concept that still does not measurably exist, except for some anecdotal low methodology, overglorified publications in open access. The amount of money wasted, teaching, studying, practicing and promoting Ayurveda and such unscientific practices in India could have actually made India a super power in evidence-based medical science publications, guidelines generations and leading consensus, if it were done right and on the right people at the right time. Both these celebrated Indian medical practitioners destroyed medicine and science in India far more than Ayush Ministry and its minions have ever done. These kind of people heavily brings down the scientific temper of a country and drags the younger generation of science and medicine students into mediocrity when it comes to evidence-based health care. Ignorance drives insecurity. Insecurity drives irrationalism. Irrationalism kills logic. If you have no logic in your actions, then your existance and actions are purposeless. How much ever educated you are.
