New Delhi: Baba Ramdev has come down from the 'AIDS cure' claim to now state that yoga can increase the immunity power of an AIDS patient. He says he has evidence to prove his claim.
Just a week back the Union Health Ministry served him a notice and an NGO, called People's Health Organisation, threatened to take him to the court over "claimed that he could cure AIDS", the yoga guru claimed in Bhubaneswar on Monday that he has evidence to prove his claim.
Ramdev, who is currently in Bhubaneswar to conduct the weeklong Yoga Science Camp, told journalists that he has "sufficient evidence" to show that yoga can increase CD-4 count in blood of an AIDS patient.
"AIDS patients having CD-4 count as low as 19 had reported with rising count to the extent of 350 to 400 as against the normal count of 500," an agency report quoted him as saying. Ramdev urged the government to come forward in assisting the success of the AIDS treatment instead of contesting his claim.
Ramdev, however, said he had never claimed that the yoga could cure the AIDS. He reiterated that yoga and ayurvedic treatment can cure blood cancer, breast cancer, prostrate cancer and other chronic and genetic diseases.
He said cancer patients should take wheat grass juice, neem leave juice and 'tulsi' juice along with certain other ayurvedic medicines while performing the seven 'Pranayam'. He claimed that he had several case studies to prove that cancer can be cured through the yoga and ayurvedic treatment.
