Cost of ignoring basic knowledge and relying too much on evidence based results.
WHO may be held accountable for quick spread of corona Pandemic.
Why?
Bcz despite knowing that this virus spreads through air droplets this health organization hard pressed on not to wear mask.
1/n
Why? Because they didn't had enough evidence on efficacy of mask in reducing infection.
But later on they found evidence of efficacy in wearing mask, and released new guidelines.
Will somebody tell them Virus didn't stop spreading for lack of evidence.
Following Daddy's guidance our Indian Health Ministry also advised people on not to wear mask. And when daddy changed his mood they also changed their advices.
But in this time period lakhs of people got infection.
Who is accountable for this?
This was just an example of what this obsession on evidence has costed to human life.
The western world ignored and discarded traditional knowledge of Indian Vedic lifestyle and harped on evidence based proof of medicine and food products.
We also followed them n ignored...
Our cultural knowledge, they said sticky ness in oil is Bad, we accepted and started using refined oil.
They said consumption of Ghee is Bad, we accepted.
They said no evidence of smoking and cancer, we accepted.
They said no special benefits from Indian cow products, we accepted
Later they found contra evidence and changed their opinion. Now sticky ness in oil make it more nutrient, Ghee is friendly Fat, Smoking kills, A2 which Indian breed cow milk is more healthy than other milk.
But wait...
Damage is done...
Ghani facilities for extracting oil are closed in most areas, Cow is no more every household animal, many milk supplier replaced their Indian cow breeds with western cow or Buffalo for better price, making Indian cow milk unaffordable.
People are addicted to Smoking.
This is just for example there are many more things which I can write.
Now think where this obsession has led us.
Still some people like @yogrishiramdev, @Ach_Balkrishna are trying to protect this traditional knowledge system and even complying with evidence based research req.
But what many people are doing? mocking him and his work, Gov system also helping in creating confusion.
They were the first who provided Giloy based decoction recipe but it is name changed to "Ayush Kadha"
They are trying to come up with medicine but instead of support...
Negativity is created around medicine. Instead of encouraging someone for research in traditional medicine and food systems people are mocking him.
Just because this time It didn't come with the stamp of western approval.
So choice is ours.
What we want?
In the end I wld rqst plz support Indian values, culture, knowledge system and people who are working for this, they may fail sometime to stand up to modern day requirements but culture should not get lost.
Othrwse damage will continue n we will keep loosing health and life.
End.
