SBEBA is not a new concept but rather the scientific practice of Ayurveda as intended. Over 15 years of clinical research by the pioneers of SBEBA, Drs. Rajkumar and Remya Krishnan, have debunked 7 common myths about SBEBA. SBEBA uses the evidence bases and diagnostic principles of Ayurveda tailored to each individual patient's condition, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Its goal is to raise Ayurveda to the level of a science-based practice and provide an enlightened professional community for Ayurveda.

1. SEVEN MYTHS ON SBEBA DEBUNKED
DR. RAJKUMAR& DR. REMYA KRISHNAN,
THE PIONEERS OF SBEBA

2. MYTH 1- SBEBA IS A CONCEPT MADE BY TWO PEOPLE
 SBEBA or Science Based Evidence Based Ayurveda is the conscientious
explicit judicious employment of Science Based Evidences or
Shaasthraarthas of Ayurveda by the practitioner to judiciously appraise
and reach valid conclusion in diagnosis and treatment for his every
individual patient .
 It is not any concept , but rather it is the practice of Ayurvedic science
the way it is intended to be . Ayurveda is Science Based Medicine.
 Realisation of this truth followed by emerging rational decision making
standards in all the common types of pathologies existing today by
more than 15 years of clinical research is done by SBEBA pioneers along
with publication of the same , the first of which in 2012.

3. MYTH 2- SBEBA IS TREATMENT BASED ON PRAKRUTHI OF SUBJECT
 SBEBA is considering primary evidence base as Shasthraarthas
relevant to the situation which is to be chosenand employed
judiciously by the physician.
 Shasthraarthas of Roga Pareeksha, Rogi pareeksha and
Bheshaja Pareeksha are systematically employed as rational
standards of clinical decision making in SBEBA.
 So it is not treating individual based on his prakruthi (
constitution)

4. MYTH 3 – SBEBA IS EMPLOYING CLASSICAL MEDICINE
 SBEBA is not employing medicines from samhithas and treating
patients.
 SBEBA is practice of Science Based Medicine of Ayurveda in place
of conventional irrational medicine/ treatment oriented practice
by Ayurveda practitioners

5. MYTH 4- IN SBEBA , SAME MEDICINES ARE GIVEN TO ALL
 As SBEBA is not medicine oriented practice but rather science oriented one, treatment for a
patient is decided by Golden standards of decision making technically termed as Tatwas (
diagnostic and treatment principle pertinent to the state and stage of the patient).
 When Tatwas are followed , medications may be often not required in many instances and if
required also will be most minimal for most minimal period during the time, the pathology
will reverse .
 If intended tatwa and targets of action ( adhikarana) of treatment are common in two
variable clinical conditions, often same medicine may be applied or even different ones
depending entirely on the cause mechanisms, state and stage of the subject and his
morbidity

6. MYTH 5- SBEBA IS EXPENSIVE BECAUSE OF NECESSITY OF REPEATED BLOOD TESTS
 Necessity of repeated blood tests often gets mandatory in certain stages of infective
and inflammatory diseases to evaluate the patient response correctly and ensure that
clinical decisions are right and patient is safe.
 SBEBA practitioner apply both SBEBA parameters as well as objective test reports from
time to time to track the improvement of the subject till he recovers completely.
 SBEBA treatment is done after withdrawal of all the antying drugs and hence lab
evidences are also data evidences to substantiate the scientificity and effectiveness of
SBEBA which enhances confidence and trust of patient and his care takers .
 SBEBA helps the patient to save from unnecessary and expensive tests of many kinds
for reductionist diagnostic procedures like Xray, CT SCAN and MRI so frequently done
for even an acute cough and back ache.

7. MYTH 6- LAST RESORT FOR EVERY DISEASE IS SBEBA
 Today owing to lack of awareness about SBEBA, after failure of Modern Medicine and
conventional Ayurveda , people get to know about SBEBA after the disease gets too much
complicated and worsened.
 Infact if patients get to know about the scientificity and accuracy of SBEBA and approach
the same in early stage of their disease, they can save money and time and get back to
health and normal routines . They will also be educated how to handle an infective fever or
any acute inflammation without any medications and reverse it in a day and with this mere
education itself, they fall less sick in future by such commonest conditions which impair the
quality of life. Their week days improve and there by national economy also improve .
 There will be less medical and surgical emergencies in the country if SBEBA is the
Mainstream Primary Healthcare of the people

8. MYTH 7- SBEBA IS A COMMERCIAL TACTICS
 If SBEBA is a commercial enterprise , it would have emerged different branded health
care products with marketing agencies and management .
 If SBEBA is a commercial enterprise , then it would have sold hundreds and thousand of
commercial CDs at offer prices and SBEBA publications would have been sold in cheap
discount rates so as to promote sale .
 If SBEBA is a commercial enterprise , it would have done online consultation platform
and advise people all over the world about “this medicine in that disease” and cook
book healing .
 So it is clear that SBEBA is not a commercial enterprise

9. SBEBA IS FOR EMERGING SCIENCE OF AYURVEDA AS IT IS
 The sole objective of the mission of SBEBA is to raise an enlightened and
professionally cultured scientific community in Ayurveda which the system
deserves a lot but hardly securing with the existing form of professional
education
 SBEBA is scientifically updated, standardised and renovated practice of
Science of Ayurveda
