"...serves an important point of drawing attention to the negative
side of contemporary health care systems and practices and suggests
the importance of integrating the best of modern and “ancient
wisdoms."--Proceedings of Indian National Science Academy
"The subject is well researched, meticulously documented, discussed
thoroughly from historic perspective, current opportunities and
challenges, as well as futuristic possibilities. The monograph
should become an integral part of medical education in countries
like India, for students of both allopathic as well AYUSH systems "
- Gundu H.R. Rao PhD

"I look this [Integrative Approaches for Health – Biomedical
Research Ayurveda and Yoga] as a treasure and as a reference book
as not only it covers India, but also touches upon many other
countries in the process which also gives equal opportunity for us
to understand that the evolution of modern medicine has such a
strong base with the traditional wisdom that these countries in the
Asian region and partially in the west Asian region has." - Dr.V.
Prakash
"… a book which can be read and used along the same lines as a
valid manual, not only by those who work in the field and wish to
clarify concepts which are frequently misinterpreted in the Western
world but also by those not expert but who wish to understand
clearly and effectively the true meaning of Ayurveda and Yoga and
potential that both of these offer if implemented in an interactive
manner in national health systems; a difficult, but already
necessary challenge. We can only conclude, therefore, by
paraphrasing a quotation used by Doctors and Patwardhan et al.,
‘The totality of a book is certainly more than a review of it’ and
it is for this reason that we recommend one to read it." - Paolo
Roberti di Sarsina, Charity for Person Centered Medicine-Moral
