Dr Vallabh Kathiria addresses symposium as V-C Rajesh Kotecha (extreme left)

looks on at IPSCON 2015, in Rajkot on Friday.
As medical practitioners and researchers at international conference IPSCO 2015
called for thorough research on cow-product based therapies to dispel myths and
science behind them, Gujarat Ayurved University (GAU) on Friday announced to set
up a registry of observations made by ayurveda practitioners in the country for
coordination in research.
Dr Ashok Vadiya, the pioneer of reverse pharmacology appealed researchers to
pick anecdotal evidence of success of panchgavya treatment up as beginning for
their research.
The talk about cow did not begin after BJP came to power. Vinoba Bhave and
Mahatma Gandhi were the ones who underlined the importance of cow in Indian
life. But there is question as to whether gavya chikitsa is myth or reality.
Myths are public dreams. Go-Gram is Indian reality. But we must find out
effectiveness of the practices through research. There are anecdotes and they
can be starting points of research. Gujarat should take lead in gavya research,
the senior researcher said, while addressing gathering at a symposium on Gavya
Chikita: Myths or Realityof IPSCON 2015.
The IPSCON 2015, the three-day international meet and 48th annual conference
Indian Pharmacological Society (IPS) began on Saurashtra University campus here
on Friday. The meet is being organised by IPS, the apex organisation of
pharmacologists in the country.
Panchgavya means five cow products milk, curd, ghee, urine and dung. Dr
Vaiyda, who is also chairman of the organising committee of IPSCON 2015 further
stated that there was dire need to record evidence of panchgavya treatment and
standardisation of cow products.
Responding to Dr Vaidyas suggestion, GAU vice-chancellor Rajesh Kotecha said
his university will establish a registry for research in panchgavya chikitsa.
In ayurveda, there are references about products of cow and guamutra. But they
are here and there. For example, properties of milk and milk as a vehicle of
medicine etc.
For us Indian scientists also, it is a new area of looking at. There is
experience, there is shraddha (faith) also, there are some clues. But we need to
work more on it. So, I agree with Dr Vaidyas reccommendation that we need to
make a registry of observations, scientific evidence. We will be happy to open a
centre of registry of observations of physicians on panchgavya at our
university. We will maintain documentation, announced the V-C.
GAU is the only ayurveauniverstiy in the country. Dr Vaidya noted that it was
for the first time in the history of IPS that it accommodated gavya chikitsaas
one of subjects of discussions. The IPSCON 2015 is also the 48th annual
conference of IPS.
Kotecha, who was chair of the symposium, observed that limitations of
pharmacology was an opportunity for alternative medicines. An oncosurgeon from
Jaipur told me that chemotherapy and cancer medicines seldom work and that they
also drains our foreign reserves because they are coming from the West. He also
told me that this is an opportunity to prove our alternative approach to the
world. This is new to ayurvedaalso because in ayurveda we have references
aboutpanchgavya. But ayurveda is mainly pharmo-therapic in medicine, ayurved is
science of health, the Padma awardee ayurveda practitioner said in his
concluding remarks.
He added that coordination was required in research in this field and that the
registry would serve this purpose.
Addressing the symposium, Dr Vallabh Kathiria, chairman of Gauseva and Guachar
Vikas Board (GGBV) of Gujarat government underlined the need of gavya therapy
just not for human beings but for plants and other animals also for creation of
a sustainable economy. The symposium was sponsored by GGBV.
Dr M Hemanth Kumar, research head at Patanjali Yogpeeth of Baba Ramdev claimed
they had developed compounds from cow urine which helps curing cancer. Dr Nisha
Parmar, associate professor at GAU also said that they had observed cancer
patients recovering after receiving panchgavya treatment.
These patients were those whom doctors had told that their disease was
incurable. However, we are not sure at this junction what and how works in
panchgavya, she said.
Referring to various beliefs associated with cow milk, Dr Chhaya Godse, a
researcher at Kasturba Health Society in Mumbai said that A1 beta casien protein
in cow milk was linked to high prevalence of diabetes in some countries but not
in others.
Nor were adverse health implications of A1 beta casein protein, which is found
more in indigenous cow breeds in India were established fully. She suggested
more research was need on the A1 beta casien to find out its adverse impact on
human health.
