Since after the British invasion in around 18 th century, Indians have been introduced and were forced to follow the British system for everything.When they left India 60 years back, Indians got so adapted to the British systems that they continued following them.You could realise that if you analyse the current India.The Education system,Political system, Medicine , Lifestyle of people everything is no longer what India had been 260 years ago.
The only medicine that the people of Current India are familiar with is the English medicine.Having been born and brought up in India, I never visited an ayurveda practioner nor has taken an ayurvedic remedy for any ailment. Nowadays, because of the heavy globalisation, there have been a dramatic change in the current Indian lifestyle.
So, saying that Ayurveda has failed in its native country based on the current statistics is just ignorance.I am not trying to offend the person who commented here. I am talking about the ignorance of me and my fellow Indians who have been so foolish and blind to neglect the ancient Indian treasures which have been a result of hundreds of years of research and hard work of our ancient ancestors.
I also wanted to clarify something here.Even though most of the people in India don't go running to an Ayurveda practitioner for a remedy these days, our ancestors made sure that the medicine was incorporated in our daily routine and lifestyle.The spices and herbs we Indians use in our diet, our daily rituals, our festivals are great testimonials for the ancient wisdom. Scientists and Physicians all around the world just started realising that. Recently, American Scientists found out that Indians are less prone to Parkinsons and Alzeihmers diseases because of some particular herbs that they use in their regular diet.
I didn't read this or any other books written by Deepak Chopra.I am not trying to sell him or his books.He works against the important Indian philosophy that Medicine and Education should never be distributed for monetary or any other gains.
All I can say is that any literature on Ancient Indian wisdom cannot be complete or accurate.You also should realise that being written 5000 years ago in India, the knowledge obviously could not be exactly or literally applied in the present times considering the living and geographic conditions at the time it was written.
Great Work!

Dr. Chopra has done it once again. As a great promoter of alternative medicine, he has done a great job in spreading that message in this book. He speaks of "quantum mechanical human body." He argues that "by treating the underlying quantum mechanical body itself, Ayurveda can bring about changes far beyond the reach of conventional medicine, confined as it is to the level of gross physiology. A good read for everyone!
