Medical clash

A widely-circulated video in which Ramdev is accused of spreading misinformation about allopathic treatment, calling allopathic medicine a “stupid science” and questioning the effectiveness of Covid-19 vaccine was going round. The IMA, which has alleged that the yoga guru was trying to promote Patanjali products, has filed police complaints against Ramdev, written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek action against him and sent a ₹1,000 crore defamation notice over the last few weeks.

His questions were:


His questions read:


What permanent solution does allopathy offer for treating hypertension and its complications, Type 1, Type 2 Diabetes and their complications, thyroid, arthritis, colitis, and asthma?

Just like allopathy offers treatment for TB and Chicken Pox, does it has any medicine for treating Fatty Liver, Liver Cirrhosis, Hepatitis?

Baba Ramdev urged finding solutions for the aforementioned diseases as allopathy is a field, which is over 200 years old.

Asking about non-surgical treatments for heart related problems which prove to be expensive for many, Ramdev questioned,

What treatment does the pharma industry offer to treat heart blockages? Does it also offer a non-surgical solution to Angioplasty?

Does the pharma Industry offer treatment for Enlarged Heart and Ejection Fraction (ET) without using a pacemaker?

Additionally, the letter demanded to know about side-effect-free treatments and permanent cure for several ailments common among Indian people. His questions are as follows:

Does Allopathy offer treatment for reducing cholesterol triglycerides, which does not cause any side-effect on the liver and can it offer side-effect-free cure for constipation, gastric, acidity and increase haemoglobin?

Does the pharma Industry have a permanent solution to cure headaches, migraines, insomnia and permanent treatment to improve eyesight and hearing?

Can allopathy give a permanent treatment for Pyorrhea that can stop the weakening of gums and teeth?

Is there a medicine, which can help a person reduce 0.5-1 kg every day without any surgical treatment?

Can allopathy doctors provide a permanent solution for psoriasis, arthritis, white spot syndrome, Parkinson’s disease, spondylitis and turn RA (Rheumatoid factor) from positive to negative?

Is there any treatment to reduce stress hormones and increase happy/good hormones in allopathy?

Besides IVF, which is a very painful process, does allopathy offers any natural treatment for infertility?

Name any medicine in the pharma industry, which can help reverse the ageing process of humans. 

Is there any allopathic medicine, which can help a person give up all substance and alcohol addictions?

He also raised a question on medical advancement which hasn’t been able to treat critical Covid-19 patients without liquid medical oxygen,

Does the Pharma industry have a solution to treat COVID-19 patients, without using liquid medical oxygen?, Ramdev asks.

Hinting at the innumerable attacks launched at him, Baba Ramdev also asked if allopathy has any treatment for the growing hatred and violence and also a cure that can put an end to the fight between allopathy and Ayurveda with the following questions,

“Mankind is walking towards the path of hatred and violence. Is there any allopathic treatment for the same?

Does the pharma industry has a medicine, which can put an end to a fight between allopathy and Ayurveda”, he asked.

Lastly, Baba Ramdev posed a question as to why do doctors fall sick when allopathy has the solution and treatment for every ailment,

“If allopathy is capable of treating every disease and health condition, then its doctor should never fall ill”, Ramdev said.

This man mocked the medical profession that's almost single handedly been fighting the war against Corona. When he is called out, for reasons that's obvious a group sets out saying he was quoted put of context, and later his org comes out with a funny statement. If all that is right why did this man of dubious background withdraw his statement after the Health Minister finally found it necessary to write to him. More than anger it is anguish at this point though, morale has been thrown into bin I feel ..Then there is the IMA chief who mentioned that corona is ending because of Jesus Christ and not because of allopathy, isn't that an insult to the doctors and medical staff?? When you are the head of IMA which is one of the prestigious houses, how can one use such statements to be a part of propaganda??

A comedian was arrested frocking doctors while this man is being invited to a debate. This nation.SM warriors who don't trust doctors can see other practitioners. Those who believe alternative medicine will be effective against COVID-19 can use that. Will at least save some vaccines and bed space for those who believe in allopathy. Baba Ramdev was wrong in sensationalizing but right in bringing up this important question which the lay people are also asking, but this was not the time to do it.

Ramdev claimed that despite getting vaccinated many frontline doctors have died. IMA has taken exception to this statement. It has charged Baba Ramdev of misleading the public by suggesting that allopathic medication kills some patients. IMA calls this seditious and wants PM Modi to take action against Baba Ramdev.

1.) 1260 news media campaigns, 139 statements by opposition politicians, 265 statements by NGO founders/execs, 172 statements by retired bureaucrats, and 342 cartoons in MSM all falsely claimed that vaccines are either ineffective or would have adverse consequences. This vicious campaign of lies resulted in vaccine hesitation and wastage. In TN alone, 5.2 million vaccines were discarded. Every jab would've saved a human life - almost all senior citizens who died. Has IMA called these campaigns seditious? Has it demanded action against these anti-national journalists, opposition politicians, and retired bureaucrats? If not, why not?

2.) AIIMS categorically stated that the misuse of steroids contributed to black fungus infection spread and the resultant deaths. That is testimony that misuse of allopathic medicines kill. Why does it become seditious when Baba Ramdev states the same?

3.) Fact remains that some doctors died despite getting both jabs. Baba Ramdev clearly exaggerated the number of casualties.  Why did those doctors die? There could be many reasons. First, viral load. Doctors are exposed to a very high load in their inoculum. They work long hours and rarely get to recuperate. All of this means lowered immune defense and increased risk of mortality. They're also the first to be exposed to mutant strains. I think this is the most probable reason for their deaths. Second, the long-term efficacy of the vaccines against the known and newer strains is yet to be clinically proven. There have been earlier cases of IgG disappearance after a few weeks. Even Pfizer CEO admitted that there would be a need for boosters at regular intervals. So, it is perfectly reasonable to ask why those doctors died despite getting vaccinated. How else do we determine the efficacy of the vaccines? 

4.) Allopathy is just a system of medicine. It is not a religion. Allopathic doctors and scientists haven't covered themselves with glory. Besides looting by hospitals, they clearly misused some drugs. They all turned a blind eye when publications such as the Lancet ran fake studies to discount cheaper treatments and to promote Big Pharma interests. Virtually every allopathic institution is distrusted by the public, e.g., a majority of Americans distrust what the CDC says about Covid. Now, it's increasingly evident that Fauci was behind the gain-of-function study which most liekely resulted in the release of the manipulated virus which has killed millions. Yet, the medical and scientific community has not even demanded a public trial. Every prediction made by the allopathic establishment has turned out to be false. So, why should the public trust it blindly or shield it from criticism?

We had a rich heritage of Ayurveda before allopathy, but if we need to progress we need to use what works now, or have a system, that will be effective. The debate around allopathy and Ayurveda is not new to India with the former discrediting the latter and vise versa. 

Humble request: Those who believe alternative medicine will be effective against COVID-19 please use that. Please stop misleading people at least during these times.  Will at least save some vaccines and bed space for those who believe in allopathy. The height of double standard is those preaching allopathy to be bad, have got their vaccines first, and run around for hospital beds. No doubt Ayurveda was ancient science. 

As rightly said: 

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/The-underage-optimist/3-mistakes-of-the-pandemic-and-lessons-from-it/

"Today, the countries coming out of the pandemic are those who respect science and capital. We don’t. Mention science to many Indians and they start citing ancient texts and how those were so amazing that nothing new compares to that.

Science is admitting we don’t know everything, that the future holds the answers not the past. Most of the pseudo-scientific Indians are stuck in the past — the very definition of unscientific. Modern medicine isn’t just a white people vs us thing (again the ‘us vs them’). It’s based on experiments, observations, rigorous trials and reviews. We need to respect that.

The reason many countries have enough vaccines is because they invested capital in them. Just making a vaccine isn’t enough, you need to put enough capital to get enough doses. Today, we are paying for that mistake with lakhs of avoidable deaths."

This three things mentioned are ‘Us vs them’ attitude - Government is not god; Don’t be in a rush to get medals. Wanting India to succeed is a good thing. However, premature celebrations or glorifying it without true substantial accomplishment is not. The truth is that we are not successful yet. We are third-world in many basic parameters. Respecting modern scientific thinking and capital investments is the need of the hour.


Look at somebody who advised cow dung and cow urine for the general public to treat all ailments including cancer!! When she is sick , she is the perfect patient , receiving the best treatment at the best hospital in india..AIIMS. Even recently, she was flown to Mumbai in a special chartered plain for treatment.
