death clock by siddha system
Can we ever live happily if we come to know our date of death in advance? Forget about happy living, life itself may not be possible if we have such knowledge. Only such mystery makes our life interesting, hopeful, helpful, fearsome and responsible.
No science or scientist can tell when one would die. The objective of science is not to predict when death would occur, but how to improve the quality of life and indeed its longevity as well.
But any such predictions like when one would die, when one may get the treasure, how will be the future etc., only an astrologer or numerologist or fortune teller or some God men can tell. Unfortunately, our curiosity do ends with the information that comes from these people. We neither verify the accuracy of above perditions nor would dare to counter with those people why they went wrong in their predictions.
Some of the tenets of Siddha system of medicine surpass astrology, numerology, palmistry and what not…and has provided a wonderful ‘death clock’ for Siddha vaidyas. Whether it has any science or mathematics in it…better we should leave such question to Lord Siva and Siddha experts to answer. No science or scientist can find any science in such predictions although may find enough wonderment.
Siddha system is promoted as medical science in India and which pays rich tributes to many such superstitious beliefs. Interestingly they also form part of the medical curriculum. They are indeed treated as medical science as well. All those who have also studied all such superstitious wisdom are doctors as per Indian law.
Look at the amazing and advanced science of Siddha system of medicine.Siddha system has incredible insight and wisdom to predict the death of the patient with great accuracy i.e. from years to months to an hour. Not only the Siddha system could predict the death with such great precision, the system also says how useless the treatment can be to the patient under such circumstances. The question is whether the scientifically proven allopathic system has ever developed such science like Siddha system?
Siddha system uses simple Tridosha concept and measurement of Vata, Pitta and Kapha to calculate how close or how far away the patient is from his or her death.
The larger question is why most of the Siddha vaidyas never ever use Tridosha diagnosis these days and if so, can they help the scientist to understand how such diagnosis is done?
Look at the death clock of Siddha system of medicine
1. Kapha nadi when beats twice than normal and vatha and pitha nadi decreases, the patient would die soon.
2. When vatha and pitha completely reduces, Siddha system says there is no use in treating such patients as they would die soon.
3. When pitha completely reduces or kapha alone increases, then there is no use of treating such patients.
4. When kapha combines with pitha, death will come in a day and when pitha completely reduces, followed by kapha combining with vatha, death would occur immediately.
5. When the pulse beat gets faster in the hip, thigh and chest regions coupled with swellings, thirst & dehydrated tongue, they are symptoms of immediate death, according to Siddha.
6. When all the three pulses are not in the equilibrium state or decreases or beats like lizard’s tail, death will occur soon.
7. When three pulses combine with each other and beats like insects or like spin top or like a beetle, death will occur definitely.
8. When respiration occurs in both nostrils continuously for three days, death occurs in one year.
9. When respiration occurs in both nostrils continuously for two days, death occurs in two years.
10. When respiration occurs in both nostrils continuously for one day, death occurs in three years.
11. When respiration occurs in single nostrils continuously for ten days, death occurs in six months.
12. When respiration takes place through mouth – death will come in 3 months.
13. When saliva intake is not possible and it spills on the body itself, death will come in 6 months.
14. When one see own shadow dancing, sudden death will occur.
15. When nostril, ear, tongue, teeth, mouth changes to black color, death will occur in 6 days.
16. When three pulses lose its equilibrium, death occurs immediately.
17. In morning, the kapha pulse beats & at noon, pitha beats and at evening, vatha beats – death occurs in 4-5 days
18. When three pulses beats like an ant walking on the floor, death would occur in 3 months
19. When kapha beats like a horse, death will occur in one month.
Can any Siddha expert explain how scientific is their death clock? Do they have such unparallel competency and sensitivity in reading the pulses so accurately? If so, why most of them use a stethoscope and modern gadgets and engage in cross pathy?
The concept of tridosha itself is imaginary and philosophical and no one could explain where they are located and how we can measure vatha, pitta, and kapha in our body?
People do argue that all the above descriptions were part of the ancient tradition and it was evolved several centuries ago. Hence we should take only those useful contents and must discard that are useless. The question is how to separate, sort and identify what is useful and useless when the fundamentals, diagnostic procedures, disease descriptions, products that are called drugs fail the simple definition of drug or system of medicine?
How cross pathy by several Siddha vaidyas in private practice will help us to identify what is useful and useless in Siddha system? Only when we follow and practice Siddha system sincerely, we can establish what is useful and what is useless.
Another big question also we must address seriously. The question is how a system that is full of superstition, lack science, and evidence can have something useful to mankind?
Entire AYUSH needs to be re-promoted as paramedical practice and must end cross pathy by AYUSH vaidyas in private practice if we are really interested in promoting AYUSH.
More than drugs and doctors, paramedical experts, and paramedical services our society needs the most.
Emerging lifestyle disorders warrant the role of AYUSH to remain healthy. Healthy people and those who are after allopathic treatment need the paramedical service of AYUSH. Time has come India must promote AYUSH as paramedical practice and not as medical science. Similarly, cross pathy and quackery should not be legalized.

One Doctor per 893 Patients: 1: 893
India has one doctor per 893 patients: Delhi Health Minister’s reply on WHO report
The WHO report stated that large number of allopathic doctors in the country do not have medical qualification and lower national level of density of all doctors, nurses and midwives.
By: PTI | New Delhi | Published:August 5, 2016 5:28 pm
There is one doctor for every 893 patients in the country if allopathic doctors and those practising Ayurveda, Unani and Homeopathy streams are considered together, Lok Sabha was informed on Friday. In a written reply, Minister of State for Health Faggan Singh Kulaste said there as 9.59 lakh registered allopathic doctors in the country and 6.77 lakh Ayurveda, Unani and Homeopathy (AUH) doctors.
“Assuming 80 per cent availability of doctors, it is estimated that around 7.67 lakh (allopathic) doctors may be actually available for service. It gives a doctor is to population ratio of 1:1681. If the allopathic and AUH streams are considered together, it gives a doctor population ratio of 1: 893,” the Minister said replying a question on whether the government has taken note of the World Health Organisation (WHO) report which stated that large number of allopathic doctors in the country do not have medical qualification and lower national level of density of all doctors, nurses and midwives.
He said that as per Indian Medical Council Act 1956, only the practitioners enrolled on the state medical register can practice medicine and any person who acts in contravention is liable to be punished with imprisonment and fine. Kulaste said there were 7,89,796 Auxiliary Nurse Midwives (ANM) and 17,93,337 registered nurse and registered midwives (RN&RM) in the country.
“Assuming 80 per cent availability of ANMs and 60 per cent availability of RN&RMs, there would be 17.10 lakh nursing personnel in service in the country which gives a nurse population ratios of 1:748,” the Minister said.
AYUSH Good Clinical Practice Guidelines
Delhi August 5, 2016 Last Updated at 14:23 IST
Regulation on AYUSH system of Good Clinical Practice Guidelines
The Government published Good Clinical Practice Guidelines for Clinical Trials in Ayurveda, Siddha and Unani Medicine (GCP-ASU)" in the year 2013. These guidelines encompass the design, conduct, termination, audit, analysis, reporting and documentation of the systematic studies involving human subjects for determining the safety and efficacy of Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani (ASU) drugs. This document aims to ensure that the studies are scientifically and ethically sound and the clinical properties of the ASU medicines under investigation are properly documented. The guidelines seek to establish two cardinal principles of protection of the rights of human subjects and generation of authentic clinical trial data of ASU medicines.
The GCP guidelines for ASU drugs at present are a guiding tool to the researchers and do not bear any legal binding, yet the stakeholders are advised to adhere to the principles prescribed in these guidelines while conducting clinical trials on ASU medicines. The guidelines are displayed for free download on the website of the Ministry of AYUSH.
Rule 158-B of the Drugs & Cosmetics Rules, 1945 prescribes the regulatory requirements including submission of proof of safety and effectiveness for licensing of ASU drugs. Enforcement of these provisions is under the purview of the State Licensing Authorities appointed by the State Governments. Directive is issued to all State Licensing Authorities, Research Councils, National Institutes, Health Universities and ASU drugs manufacturers Associations to ensure registration of the clinical trials of AYUSH in the Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI). Presently, the Government has no proposal to amend or modify GCP guidelines for ASU medicines.
This information was given by the Minister of State (Independent Charge) for AYUSH, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik in written reply to a question in LokSabha today.

NEW GUIDELINES FOR AYUSH
ICMR norms for testing AYUSH drugs
THE HINDU--------------------------------------------------------------------------NEW DELHI, August 3, 2016
To bring research on Ayurvedic drugs closer to the practices in Western medicine, the Indian Council of Medical Research has released guidelines for testing new medicines from the AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy) schools.
NEW GUIDELINES FOR AYUSH -------- thursday, 04 August 2016 | Pioneer | in Edit
The new guidelines released by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for conducting testing medicines from Ayurveda, Yoga, Unani, Siddha and Homeopathy (AYUSH) will give a massive boost to the much-needed importance to research and development in these fields. Practically speaking, the effort initiated by the ICMR will go a long way in bringing the indigenous research in the field of AYUSH closer to the much advanced practices and development in Western medicines. The guidelines concerning the standards required to be followed in the testing process for AYUSH medicines must be an established practice by now. The ICMR has tried to hammer out similar guidelines by highlighting that the same ethical principles must be used as it is done for drug trials, while involving human beings in the research on traditional, folk medicines and patented and proprietary variety of traditional medicines.
As frequent controversies clouded the clinical trials in the past, the ICMR guidelines once finalised, will act as one big leap which will be truly helpful for the regulator for granting permission for new trials. The new set of requirements is also covering emerging fields like synthetic biology and ethical rules governing medical diagnosis. Therefore, this will act as a deterrent in prohibiting the conduct of unsafe clinical trials in the field of indigenous medicines. Emphasis given to the involvement of experts belonging to each of these fields while supervising the trials is considered as a step ahead for preventing all possible misadventures. The guidelines give top priority in recognising the rights of traditional knowledge of a community or of an area in the process of commercialising the drugs. This rightly reflects the sense of respecting the original owners and adhering to the provisions of the intellectual property laws of the land. There has been controversies stemming from the ownership of patents and fighting the cases related to intellectual property in general is an expensive matter across the world. Thus, the ICMR's effort to streamline the paten-related issues from the beginning will probably lessen the much-talked about controversies and debates in the fields of AYUSH. Till date there was hardly any clarity in public on how Ayurvedic formulations and other traditional medicines should be tested. Finally, these guidelines will open a grand opportunity for the traditional Indian formulations to make their entry into the international market which will potentially encourage many of the domestic manufacturers to play a significant role for sure.
