An ayurvedic perspective on life
Here is an interesting article looking at heavy metals in Ayurveda.
It is a subject which is gathering a lot of press these days. No that metal poisoning from Ayurvedic products with contains metals is common but probably rather that those wishing to taint the image of Ayurveda are scaremongering. Certainly there needs to be some good research done to validating any case either way.

Ten-Year Follow-Up of Ischemic Strokes in the Copenhagen Stroke Study.
This is some interesting research which correlates with my own research into Cardiovascular Diseases in Ayurveda. Have a look at the research abstract at: http://stroke.ahajournals.org
It is interesting to see such studies now being published to counter to strong move for the use of statin to reduce the serum cholesterol in our body.

Mother Maya spent a few days in Auckland in late November where she held a public talk and the following day a workshop on Ayurveda. The experience of attending both sessions was heart opening and inspirational. She connected well with all present through her natural stories and empathy with those present. |
Her own story is one of remarkable experience. She had cancer as a young professional women while living in New York. She underwent all the modern procedures to remove the cancer with no apparent effect. The process took her to the brink of life where she eventually made a deep connection with her divine nature and began the healing process from that point within herself.
Mother Maya has written several books on Ayurveda which are of excellent quality for any serious student. However her approach with us in the workshop was to connect with your true self, from which level all true healing must come.
A truly remarkable spirit.

1. I am skeptical of the current state of Ayurvedic pulse diagnosis.
You cite a quote that pulse diagnosis is “the centrepiece of a
classic Ayurveda examination”. If this were true, then why is it
that in Kerala, which many call the center of Ayurveda in India, you
will be hard pressed to find a physician that actually practices it.
This is apart from the fact that pulse is clearly anumana, or
“inferential”, according to Charakas delineation of “trividha
pariksha”, or the “the sources of knowledge”. How should inference
be considered the centerpiece of any evidence? Walking home late at
night, a man is startled because he sees something on the road. Is
it a snake or a stick? Only close observation can discern the
difference. To my mind, the mark of a good practitioner is their
thoroughness in obtaining knowledge from all sources and integrating
these into a unified whole. Sometimes this means knowing what to pay
attention to and what to ignore, especially when it comes to inference. Continued…
