So if he needs medical aid, will he renounce Western medicine and stick to Ayurveda?

What about weapons carried by his personal security team? Surely they are Made in India...

And his car. Surely it's not European...

He wants the best stuff in the world while tax payers get what they get.
 
No problem looking into all nooks and corners to get a cure. Chinese are good at this.
However for diabetes, long-term treatments like stem cell / cispr or ReCET (Re-Cellularization via Electroporation Therapy), etc. is best. An ideal cure shouldn't be hooking people onto medicines forever.

I have watched Dr. Mike and Dr. K talking about how treating people individually could be very effective, which I think is one of the principles of Ayurveda (But it will be very costly), but other than that, I am full-on Allopathy. Also, I do not think some plants having medicinal properties are that new and can't be all considered as Ayurveda or Homeopathy.
 
Pharma companies often use traditional medicine for drug design. Some times just repackaging the active compound.

Amen. Discovery of knowledge is not linear and predictable.

There is a saying in my part of the world: "When you lose your plate, don't forget to look into the handi (a cooking vessel with a narrow opening)."

Homeo is total pseudo/placebo.

Ayurveda might have had actual scienctific roots and was cutting edge...thousands of years ago. It stopped getting updated/refined, and the limitation of sourcing active ingredients to natural sources like plants/animals severely restricts the scope of treatable conditions. A chemical can be natural or artificially prepared - the effectiveness is the same.

Think about this: did all these ayurveda/homeo practitioners refuse COVID vaccinations/treatments. If they meet with an accident, will they refused to go to a hospital? When it's their assess on the line they will choose what actually works.
