It just seems to me that maybe we are doing now is, really, inventing a "Western" version of "Eastern" medicine, which is a good thing. I'm also thinking here of the work being done by Dean Ornish. Maybe, though, if we looked at what Ayurvedic medicine is all about we could get there faster, by combining what we know and want to do with what it does and wants to do? I'm sure you have thought of this, but on the off-chance not, I offer it as an idea.

If you have time take a look at this presentation on Ayurvedic medicine and specifically the last minute and a half: This link: https://youtu.be/pqA_7Nsws9Y?t=6m47s starts the video at 6:47 (and it's about an 8 and a half minute video). It's by Dr. Suhas G. Kshirsagar of http://ayurvedichealing.net.
