After withdrawing his statement questioning the efficacy of allopathy medicines, yoga guru Ramdev on Monday (May 24) posted an open letter directed to the Indian Medical Association (IMA), on his Twitter handle. He asked 25 questions to the IMA which included a question if allopathy offered permanent relief for ailments such as hypertension and diabetes.
IMA had objected to his video clip running down allopathy treatment for COVID-19 and sent him a legal notice.
The Yoga guru asked if allopathy offered permanent relief from hypertension (BP) and type-1 and 2 diabetes. He also listed several other ailments such as fatty liver, liver cirrhosis, colitis, constipation and bloating amnesia and asked the IMA and pharma companies if they have any treatment for them without side effects.
