Millions have died because of ‘toxic’ allopathic medicine: Ramdev

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev has once again reiterated his stance against allopathy, claiming “millions of people in India have perished due to the use of allopathic medicine.”
At a press conference at Patanjali Yogpeeth in Haridwar, Ramdev emphasised the need for medical autonomy and reaffirmed his commitment to a “swadeshi revolution through Patanjali, aimed at achieving economic, social, and medical freedom in India.”
Ramdev accused foreign pharmaceutical companies of perpetuating a cycle of dependency on synthetic drugs, which he described as “toxic.” He asserted that millions of people are dying every year due to these “poisonous” medicines.
“The dream of medical freedom is still unfulfilled, as millions continue to suffer and die from allopathic drugs. Just as millions of Indians were killed during British rule and in various conflicts around the world, millions are now perishing from synthetic pharmaceuticals,” he said. Ramdev reiterated Patanjali’s “mission to accelerate the swadeshi movement under the banner of Patanjali Wellness, aiming to bring about a significant shift towards indigenous and natural healthcare practices.” Ramdev’s past statements on allopathy have led to legal cases, including a lawsuit by the IMA.
