RESEARCH IN AYURVEDA

A friend of mine Dr.Sankaran V.M. was an exceptionally brilliant student from Kottakkal Ayurveda College currently working in Gonobiswabidyalay University in Dhaka. The Bangla people are patriotic and love their culture, language and uniqueness. The medical College in Dhaka even have a subject called History of Medicine which gives some introduction to Ayurveda which we cannot dream in a Kerala Medical College who are the biggest critics of Ayurveda without making any attempt to learn or understand the basics of Ayurveda.

Gonobiswabidyalay was magnanimous enough to offer Dr.Sankaran do all clinical research in Ayurveda when panchakarma procedures are in progress adjacent to its Modern Medicine wing.

A couple of years back Dr.Sankaran was invited to present a paper on Ayurveda and he was shocked to see all his research work done for years were stolen by someone and the same scientific work surfaced in the name of a Health Minister of another South Asian country who sometimes claims pioneers in taking Ayurveda to the west.

I am publishing Dr.Sankaran's clinical/laboratory works on myths and mysteries hovering around honey. This is an earnest attempt to navigate into a honeybee colony (beehive) to unearth the hidden truth.
