@brucekumarwayne@kamaalrkhan Not defending anything. I am stating facts straight from authentic sources. Don't assume the grass is greener on the other side. We may not be the best, but that does not mean the other side is amazing. we can stick to discussing facts than accusing without data.
@Shiva_Simha1@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK That claim is inaccurate. Current BAMS/AYUSH curricula already include subjects like anatomy, pathology, diagnostics, surgery, research methodology, biostatistics and medical technology alongside classical texts. https://t.co/wUkwYqUiTr
@Shiva_Simha1@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK Exactly. If a treatment from Ayurveda demonstrably works under rigorous testing, then it deserves credit. Science should reward evidence and outcomes, not reject something purely because of its label or origin.
@Shiva_Simha1@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK Life expectancy is influenced by many factors including wars, famine, sanitation, infectious diseases, colonial conditions, nutrition and healthcare access. Using 1800s life expectancy figures alone to draw conclusions specifically about Ayurveda is unreliable.
@Shiva_Simha1@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK That is a valid argument for why modern medicine is currently reliable in many contexts. But it still argues for better quality control, trials and standardization in Ayurveda — not for dismissing every traditional intervention as inherently worthless or “pseudoscience.”
@Shiva_Simha1@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK Ok. We know that life expectancy was low during this era but we can’t link to ayurveda for it. We need enough data to agree on it. Cheers !!
@Shiva_Simha1@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK How do you know that ? Are you Ayush student or did you verify their research papers compare it with other streams methodology ? What is source of this conclusion ?
@Shiva_Simha1@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK Scientific temperament means not blindly dismissing anything that may work — whether Ayurveda, allopathy, or homeopathy — but demanding stronger evidence, reproducibility and rigorous testing for all. Saying “more evidence-based research is needed” is scientific, not pushing bias
@Shiva_Simha1@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK Can you please share proof of your claim along with primary evidence ? Also, please share what was life expectancy of other regions around same time ?
@Apoc1729@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK Just because someone labels themselves “scientific” doesn’t automatically make every claim scientific. You can find unsubstantiated claims on all sides. If you genuinely care about evidence and scientific consistency, check this coffee-thread too. https://t.co/pA1zvR3fL9
@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK The cited paper itself says “the threshold of coffee consumption to achieve hepatoprotective effects needs prospective trials.” Yet observational associations are presented here as settled conclusions. https://t.co/pKw2nypcPp 🤷♂️
@Apoc1729@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK Ayurveda has worked for centuries. It may not yet have the same level of evidence as allopathy medicine, but the scientific approach is more research, investment and validation — not trolling with meaningless blanket dismissals. You’ve provided no actual data for your claim 🤦
@Apoc1729@IndiaToday@theliverdoc@Sonal_MK Fine !! That’s just a sweeping assertion with no evidence. If you’re making the claim that Ayurveda had no therapeutic value at all, back it with data instead of rhetorical speculation.
