Ayurvedic Medicine Approach to Cancer
by Ron Kennedy, M.D., Santa Rosa, California
The world's oldest existing medical system, Ayurveda has been practiced for over 6,000 years. It has developed, in some way, in a parallel manner to Western allopathic medicine, although it is millennia older. There are hundreds of medical schools which offer basic medical training, as well as training in specialties bearing some of the same names they are given in allopathic medicine: obstetrics, pediatrics, ophthalmology, etc. Therapeutic diet, herbs, detoxification, breathing exercises and massage constitute the main avenues of approach to treatment.
The basic difference between Western medicine and Ayurvedic medicine is this: in the Ayurvedic paradigm, consciousness is conceived of as primary; in Western medicine, material is considered primary. The Ayurveda holds that we are thoughts which created bodies. In Western medicine we are material (body) which creates thoughts.
From the point of view of an Ayurvedic physician, the allopathic method of treating illness is at best crude, at worst dangerous, in that it treats only part of the patient: the part which is conceived of as being ill — the material part. In every aspect, Ayurvedic medicine treats the whole person in the belief that one cannot safely split a person into parts. For example, the Ayurvedic doctor may work extensively with the way the patient thinks, believing that thoughts manifest themselves in the biochemistry of the body.
The pharmacopeia of Ayurvedic medicine is massive, with hundreds of herbs used. The active ingredients of many of these herbs have long been utilized by Western medicine. Of course, as usual, our pharmaceutical companies have tried to isolate a few active ingredients, then alter, synthesize, patent and market the altered form. Reserpine, for the treatment of hypertension, is but one example.
Although Ayurvedic (which literally means "the science of life") medicine is the most ancient on earth, it is by no means resting on its laurels. Research is carried on with vigor, and many new herbal compounds are available, some of which, like MAK-4 and MAK-5 are suitable for treatment of cancer.
Some doctors in the U.S. have incorporated the principles of Ayurvedic medicine into their practices. For a referral to one of these doctors, or for more information on Ayurvedic medicine:

Every edition of The Wednesday Letter is delivered to your address with YOUR name and address in view on the letter, with a link that allows you to remove THAT name from the subscription list. If you try to send this removal message from an address different from the one you used to send in your original confirmation, then you will get a warning notice first, sent to the subscription address, asking you to confirm that you want to be removed from the list -- by replying to THAT request for confirmation, you will then be automatically removed.
