> Why do certain foods harm some people and help others? How come the same weight loss program shows different results on different individuals? And, why do some people fall sick more often than others? Answers to these questions and many more lie in Ayurveda where your body is not just looked upon a holder of flesh and bones but the finest vehicle of experiencing all pleasures and sorrows. This sounds like a book about an interesting philosophical approach to examining one's life, but claiming that "practical wisdom" is all that's needed to "live a healthy life with virtually no disease" is absolute, equivocated nonsense completely divorced from the experience that OP is facing IN REAL LIFE. The guy has cancer, and you're telling him to read a book featuring the "science of ages," based on the "wisdom" of people who were written about hundreds of years before the rise of the concept of a spherical earth. Normally it's totally cool with me that people believe whatever silliness makes them feel more in control of their lives, but there's a person with an actual, real problem, and I had to speak up against spreading this garbage.

Your comment sounds a reply made in rush. I feel sorry for the OP and regarding the book I specifically mentioned "curious readers" and not a specific recommendation to OP. But then didn't I know that I'd receive this kind of response very quickly? I knew most would respond like this here, but I care for the single one who might get inspired to proceed and read the book till the last page. If I can help transform one life for the better my job is done! Everyone is entitled to have his own opinion. But a lightbulb is required to remove the darkness.

This might be true for the West, but not to the east: Multiverse, relativity and quantum theory. “Both Bohr and Schrödinger, the founders of quantum physics, were avid readers of the Vedic texts and observed that their experiments in quantum physics were consistent with what they had read in the Vedas.” Bohr received the Nobel Prize in physics in 1922, for his theory of atomic structure (Quantum Theory). He is on record as saying that he goes into the Upanishads to ask questions. Alan Watts, a professor, graduate school dean and research fellow of Harvard University, drew heavily on the insights of Vedanta. Watts became well known in the 1960s as a pioneer in bringing Eastern philosophy to the West. He wrote: “To the philosophers of India, however, Relativity is no new discovery, just as the concept of light years is no matter for astonishment to people used to thinking of time in millions of kalpas, ( A kalpa is about 4,320,000 years). The fact that the wise men of India have not been concerned with technological applications of this knowledge arises from the circumstance that technology is but one of innumerable ways of applying it.” 0]: https://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/quantum-consistent-with-vedas-bohr-quantum-founder/ https://ramanan50.wordpress.com/2014/05/08/quantum-consisten... 1]: http://www.hinduwisdom.info/quotes141_160.htm http://www.hinduwisdom.info/quotes141_160.htm
