Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Dear Dominik, The newsletter is very useful to me. For instance, Waltrauds review of Zimmermann's 'The Jungle and the Aroma of Meats' mentions Ayurveda's logico-poetic approach to medicine while the contributions of Hsu and Tiquia reminded me of the importance of the laboratory for the construction of modern Asian medicines. In an article in Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry 24 (2), june 2000, Hsu discusses these two 'styles of knowing' which 'differ according to the ways in which experts establish their authority'. In 'Les nouvelles marchandises' as Zimmermann (1995) calls the factory-produced Ayurvedic pharmaceuticals about which I am writing my PhD, both 'styles of knowing' are represented. I was shocked when I read about the death of dr. K.M. Parikh with whom I spoke extensively in the beginning of this year. Within Zandu he was known as 'the doctor'. On the first day of my visit to Zandu in January 2000, dr. K.M. Parikh organised a meeting where I could meet Zandu's managers. After I had talked for 20 minutes about my PhD-research, K.M. Parikh spoke for a long time about Ayurveda and Zandu in particular. This meeting made the Zandu' people more accesible for me. For this opportunity I feel grateful towards dr. K.M. Parikh. I hope the Newsletter will further enhance communications among people active in the field if Asian medicines.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Dear Maarten, Thanks for your feedback. Yes, Parikh's death has been a shock to us all. If you felt It would be nice if you could write a little more about him, for publication in the next Newsletter. All the best, Dominik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Dear Dominik, Thank you for asking. When must my contribution reach Waltraud? I was just re-reading the transcription of an interview with dr. K.M. Parikh that I had on Feb 21 2000. The interview was interesting but quite formal. Though I am sure Narendra Bhatt would be able to add more of a 'personal touch' to it all, I will be happy to write something about my encounter with Parikh in the context of gathering data for my PhD-thesis. best wishes, Maarten At 14:16 18-10-00 +0100, you wrote: >Dear Maarten, > >Thanks for your feedback.
