Ayerveda	Catherine	Saturday, December 1, 2012
Question: Ayerveda is the oldest medicine in the world. It involves clearing the lymph nodes so the body naturally detoxes. I was offered a job to do ayervedic treatments, one called an abyangha treatment where you massage oil all over body to bring out toxins. Do I take the job? Or does this "open up spiritual channels" ?
Question Answered by Bro. Ignatius Mary, OMSM(r) Dear Catherine: There are some natural alternative medical treatments are are morally neutral. The problem is that practitioners almost never apply their treatments apart of their traditions. Ayerveda is a Hindu practice. Hinduism is one of the most hideous religions on the planet. In addition, there is a lot of occultic connections in Hinduism. The theory and cosmology behind the practice of Ayerveda, as is the theories behind Chinese medicine are hostile and contrary to Christianity. For these reasons alone I would avoid this method. But, there are also medical dangers with Ayerveda. At least two studies in the United States have found dangerous levels of toxic heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic in the herbs and substances used in this treatment. There is also a decided lack of scientific evidence of the effectiveness of Ayerveda treatments. In addition to all this, the idea of massage oil eliminating toxins is fraudulent. All of these so called "toxin" therapies are fraudulent. The body already has the mechanisms to deal with toxins. The only thing "brought" out with these toxin therapies is money from your wallet. The idea of this treatment cleaning lymph nodes is laughable. Bottomline: There are potential medical harm with this method, the theory behind the method is bogus and contrary to Christianity, and there are potentially occult elements that may be included in treatment. As a Christian under no circumstances would I advise taking this job, or submitting yourself to the treatment. God Bless, Bro. Ignatius Mary For information on how to receive help see our Help page.
