I went to an Ayurvedic doctor earlier this year. He helped restore my eyesight to 20-20 vision with eye exercises—these also help in onset of Glaucoma.

But he said there are some who he cannot help. Those who had eye surgery like Lasik. Creates long-term damage. Choose well.
If one needs surgery, today the skilled surgeons have been trained in allopathic colleges. But that simply due to suppression of Ayurveda during colonialism. Once an ecosystem of training in surgery is restored in Ayurveda, there is no reason why they won't have good surgeons.
Sri Sri Panchkarma centre and Sri Sri Ayurveda Hospital in BLR. Look it up.

Dear @taslimanasreen, do choose wisely. Otoh, with cataract, I've seen my relatives have good results with regular surgeons. But again, this has little to do with allopathic medicine. Is mostly a mechanical/anatomical skill.

Only catch with the exercise regimen is that you have to do it daily, like with any other exercise. I'm not super good at that. :D So it does go down a bit without that. Am planning to do another 10-day session at the ashram next year for an intensive "workout."
It is better to learn under the doctor. The eye is a set of muscles which atrophy with time. The eye exercises work on each set of muscles. It is kind of like going to eye-gym.

Either one is fine, the exercises are mostly similar. But the doctor at the Panchkarma center (Dr. Padmalochan) is amazing.

This is why I call their medicine a religion. Discard evidence, even pratyaksha pramana, unless stamped by "authority." Why don't you go study with this Ayurvedic doctor, keep your skepticism and spirit of enquiry alive. Have you tried it or it's hearsay?

The degree of restoration depends on how bad the eyes are. It won't get to 20-20 but the vision will improve.

To be clear, my own pratyaksha pramana is only in the case of refractive error. It worked for me. For Glaucoma/cataract it is preventative from what I heard. Please consult the doctor, your mileage will vary. I can only speak from my experience.

A number of people triggered by this thread who "know" it doesn't work. 😀 How do they "know"—did they try it? No, they've been told it doesn't work. Real scientists would get curious and want to investigate it for themselves, no? That's what I did.

Yes it is a combination of treatments and exercises. Also triphala wash and eye drops for daily use.

Actually simple surgeries, even bone resets, used to be done by nais in India. Before outlawing as "heretics."

Surgery does require very specialized training, skill & knowledge, but doesn't require allopathic medicine. I have a huge respect for surgeons.
With the level of skepticism, I've decided to share my eye/medical records (some personal details removed). I'm not recommending any medical treatment for anyone, simply sharing my own experience. Please make your own decisions about your health.

(Improvement in red box)
The question comes, if this is so great, why don't more people know about it?

The answer is the same as why billions believe someone "died for their sins" so they can get to "heaven." Indoctrination.

Billions of $s are at stake to perpetuate particular indoctrinations.
In Indic traditions, pratyaksha pramana, direct experience, was always paramount. Religion doesn't accept pratyaksha, "Holy Book" overrides it.

The Western medical system is also authority based. Pratyaksha—direct experiential evidence cannot be trusted.

Yes, I do not deny that current surgery has evolved with using allopathy while traditional methods, including sophisticated surgery that used to be part of Ayurveda, declined. But once surgery is restored to Ayurveda, alternative treatments would emerge.

Western medicine got $ trillions of investment after colonialism. So it has evolved, but has fundamental flaws. Traditional medicine was uprooted or banned.

That said, if someone was in a car crash, my first choice would be Western hospital for emergency care. Be sensible.
My recommendation for transition would be that surgical pharmacology be taught with surgery in Ayurvedic hospitals. Plenty has been stolen from traditional medicine into allopathy. It can start repaying the debt.

Substitute over time with research.

Current healthcare system is fatally flawed. The US spends the most on its medical system but has some of the unhealthiest people in the developed world. Plus it is prohibitively expensive.

So it's not "healthcare." It is barely disease-care.

Pretty much all scientific knowledge declined in subsequent invasions.

But British colonialism was worse. It stole knowledge, erased its origins, destroyed the original and then told Indians they were "backward." And so many "modern Indians believe it.

Incidentally, China has encouraged TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) hospitals which also do surgeries. They have a hybrid approach where in-patient Western Medicine (WM) is combined with TCM, while out-patients is mostly TCM. TCM is related to Ayurveda.

A short exposition of White privilege by a brown convert. 😏
There is a reason the first item on this list occurs a few decades after 1757. Guess what happened in 1757.

Dharampal documents Smallpox inoculation in India—from British archives. Soon after, West "discovers" it.
The problem with such Eurocentric history is that it takes the ignorance of Europe and presumes it to be the ignorance of the world. Like Europe thought the sun revolved around the earth, so the "world" did. You must also believe in "Arabic numbers" @raghurajs_hegde?
While Europe was a festering cesspool of dirt & disease, Hindu were well aware of the importance of hygiene and its role in the spread of disease. This is why they had elaborate hygiene rules, particularly concerning the exchange of bodily fluids like saliva and "jhoota."

France does not have any special rights for “religious minorities” in its constitution. US does not have special rights for “religious minorities.”

In India these “minorities” were former rulers. These special rights are a form of colonial apartheid.

India is not secular, nor is it Indic. It is largely a #ChristoIslamic Sharia state where Hindus are second class citizens and the government has huge “minority” schemes to incentivize conversion out of Hinduism. Including new ones by @narendramodi govt.

Jaziya tax on Hindus continues in the #ChristoIslamic state of India.

Western medicine is not “evidence-based medicine.” It is authority-based medicine. It must be certified by the Church of medicine, a controlled ecosystem, to be valid.

Anything not certified is “heresy” aka “quackery.” People can’t decide if it works for them. Authorities must.
Evidence is pratyaksha. But there is a superstructure of authority to certify what is evidence. Who controls that? Who owns journals? What gets certified? Doctors can even be sued in the US for "un-certified" use even if they rely on years of experience.

I am not questioning evidence but the privilege of the structure of authority over evidence—authority-certified shabd pramana overrides pratyaksha pramana.

Which is why it is authority-based, not evidence based. Let's not get into "true science" fallacy.

Somewhere around 2 million people were killed in the Partition of India, midwifed by Gandhi, Nehru and Jinnah.

Nathuram Godse was an assassin.

But the first act of terror in "independent" India was surely the partition, directly attributed to the Congress and Muslim league.
Nehru's govt minimized this holocaust.

The focus on Godse sidesteps the horror of partition—a Congress-Islamic project. Those ignorant of history are bound to repeat it.

Now Left manages to indoctrinate youth into "tukde tukde"—forgetting history.

We need a Partition Museum.
Congress and "seculars" keeps saying Godse-Godse to divert attention from horrors of partition.

The partition came from appeasement policies of Gandhi and Congress, including literal support for an Islamic Caliphate.

Congress riot machine started early.

While everyone knows about the Nazi genocide of Jews, the Nazi genocide of Roma is largely forgotten.

Roma were of Indian-origin. Nazis were Christian, with Islamic collaborators. #ChristoIslam continues to target Hindus.

un.org/en/exhibits/fo…
The genocide of Jews is rooted in Christian history and doctrine. Islamists also regard Jews as their enemies. Hilarious gaslighting to label Hindus, who protected Jews as Nazis.

Nazism itself is rooted in Christianity. Most Nazis were Church-going Christians.

NGT was part of #UPA plan to create institutions to control India even if they left power. It is to allow FCRA-NGO ecosystem veto power over India.

The BJP has not only not setup its own interventions but has done little to dismantle UPA ecosystem. #NGT doesn't need to exist.
NGT is doing exactly what it was setup to do. Attack Hindu practises and institutions. The environment is not its agenda, and one does not need a judicial body for that anyway. One needs executive policy.

It boggles the mind that the @narendramodi govt, instead of dismantling the toxic divisive institutions introduced by the #UPA such as NGO and "Minority Ministry", has enhanced and empowered them even more. SJW-Left on steroids.
