Baba Ramdev slammed Union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss on Friday and urged him to consider his Ministry a holistic entity and not run it on an "Allopathic mode".
"It is an issue of health and should be managed with a healthy mind," the Baba said, reacting to Ramadoss' comments that he should refrain from making claims that Yoga can cure cancer and AIDS.Â
<b>Ramdev asked the Health Ministry not to function as an "Allopathic Ministry" and accept all forms of medicine, including Ayurveda. Ramdev claims that if crores spent on formulating one Allopathic medicine is allotted to Ayurveda, he and his team can do wonders.</b>
The Union Health Ministry also has the Department of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH).
The Department of Indian Systems of Medicines and Homoeopathy (ISM&H) in the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare was established in March, 1995, later to be renamed the Department of AYUSH in November, 2003.
Countering the Health Ministry notice, Ramdev said whatever he practices was not "magic but pure science" and urged the Government to come forward with resources for him to take Ayurveda to new heights.
<b>The Baba has gone on record claiming that it science proves Yoga helps in reducing diabetes, arthritis and stress-related problems, and that deadly disease like AIDS can also be cured with Yoga. Ramadoss has rubbished Ramdev's claims saying that things which are not scientifically and clinically validated, should not be propagated.</b>
Reacting to the notice, Ramdev said the Ministry's directive has put him in a dilemma and that he is of the strong belief that Yoga is indeed the cure for all ailments. The Baba insists Yoga has the indisputable power to render the mind and body disease-free and that the proof to support his contention, he says, is the patients he has cured.
<b>Ramdev has said that nothing would stop him from researching on Ayurvedic medicine and that he proposes to set up a Patanjali Yoga Peeth and University in Madhya Pradesh. "I don't know why controversies revolve around me but hope something good belies it all,"</b> he said.
Ramdev is in the capital to give Yoga tips to Border Security Force jawans to combat stress, a move after recent increase in incidents of suicide in the armed forces.
