Is it just me? to find this Memorandum of Understanding very intriguing? This MoU Between #India's AYUSH ministry (Ayureda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy) and DBT the Dept of BioTechnology? 
Apparently, "There is a need of multi-pronged and technological ways for the exploration and application of this ancient scientific system of health care into the public health care domain."; and what's more.."Biotechnological R & D and Ayush Interventions will improve.."
"quality of life as well as life span (Vayahsthaapana Rasayana) and bring down the associated morbidity pertaining to chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, osteoarthritis, cachexia, pain management and infectious diseases for example Tuberculosis."
Tuberculosis? cachexia? (really? Cachexia? that's a physical symptom of extreme wasting with multiple causes).
Who writes this kind of wild promissory note. What exactly will the DBT do, un der this MoU? And if they did find a molecule - a New Chemical Entity - that dramatically

cures some specific cancer or successfuly kills off some virus or bacterium without harming the host, If that NCE is developed into a drug that undergoes all the stages of R&D incl clinical trials - how will that be traditional medicine? It'll be scientific medicine, won't it?
