I never claimed I can cure AIDS: Ramdev
RAIPUR: Stating that his statement on AIDS was wrongly presented in the media, yoga exponent Baba Ramdev on Monday said he will not reply to Health Ministry's notice. "I never claimed AIDS can be cured through Yoga. It was wrongly been presented in media. I only said cancer can be cured but in case of AIDS one can get encouraging improvement by doing Yoga," Ramdev said.
"[E]ncouraging improvements", he says.
Replying to a question about the stand of the union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss, he said, "It seems the health condition of the Health Ministry is not good and the Health Ministry had been converted into a ministry of allopathy."
That's as opposed to homeopathy as in homeopathic medicine, a totally discredited concept.
"I have received the notice. But Baba Ramdev is neither a magic nor a remedy. Hence, I will not reply to that notice."
If it quacks like a quack ...
He also clarified that diabetes can be "controlled" through yoga and the practitioner of yoga can help to get relief from the complications of diabetes.
Sure thing, what's your billing rate?
However, blood pressure, thyroid, muscular dystrophy, cancer and many other diseases can be cured through the Yoga, and deaf and dumb can get encouraging result, he claimed.
Just not AIDS.
From Wikipedia - Entry: Homeopathic Medicine (an exceprt)
There are many methods for determining the most-similar remedy (the simillimum), and homeopaths sometimes disagree. This is partly due to the complexity of the 'totality of symptoms' concept; homeopaths do not use all symptoms, but decide which are the most characteristic; this subjective evaluation of case analysis rests crucially on knowledge and experience. Finally, the Drug Picture in the Materia Medica is always more comprehensive than the symptoms exhibited by any individual. These factors mean that a homeopathic prescription can remain presumptive until it is verified by testing the effect of the remedy on the patient.
