The origin of world medicine can be traced to the Sindhu (Indus) and Sarasvati river valley civilization as of 8000 BC, or earlier, where Yoga-Ayurveda concepts, based on the Samkhya philosophy in the Vedas, assured complete mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing for reunion of the microcosm (man) with the macrocosm (God). Ayurveda surgeons were performing rhinoplasty, plastic surgery, caesarian delivery, cataract removal, catheterization, and the like, some of which cannot be improved upon even today, thousands of years before the Europeans in the 18th century CE. Ayurveda system of humors was later on adapted blindly for holistic care by the Greeks, Egyptians, Arabs, Chinese and others, although they could not understand the accompanying discipline of Yoga for which their culture had no theoretical basis. The unparalleled excellence of the Vedic-Aryan tradition formed the mother of all medicine and the backbone of all learning until the 17th century CE in Europe.
The medical tradition assigned to the Hippocrates in Greece was an idea invented primarily by the British to assert white racial superiority although medicine in Greece was a handmaiden of philosophers whose medical theories were absurd indeed. Roman medicine was derived from Greek and Egyptian immigrants who had assimilated Ayurveda through trade and commerce as their surviving literature does not explain it. Similarly, the Abrahamic religions had nothing but the Pentateuch which is just Jewish history and which was to stifle all inquiry while the supreme will of God assured perpetual superstition, magic, misery, ignorance, poverty, hunger, and disease due to past sin. Muslim invaders were an illiterate lot from Arabia so their religious fanaticism, based on Koran, was to kill, mutilate, enslave, and castrate some 60-80 million Vedic-Hindus whose culture was now passed off as Arabic by false translations, distortions, omissions, and the like. Indeed, the vast theoretical treatises in Sanskrit in all aspects of human endeavor are to be found in no other peoples or culture.
Europeans not only exterminated peoples and cultures around the globe, they freely copied from the traditions of the enslaved peoples, while false translations were planted to further ridicule the colored subjects and to embellish their own depraved patrimony. The fight to claim Vedic ancestry remains the best proof yet of its unsurpassed ideation. Although European imperialism has exercised an absolute monopoly on words like progress and civilization, and calls itself the society of tomorrow, it is in fact a society of yesterday as it adopts practices that it had previously rejected due its own vanity. Today, the Ayurveda tradition forms the underlying principle of the New Age Therapies and remains unsurpassed in its scientific inquiry, majestic resplendence, universal tolerance, and eternal timelessness.
