invest in health life-process practices, like find YOUR healing yogas, YOUR healing practices, etc:
habits, once formed, take little effort, but form those now.
Frawley's "Ayurvedic Healing" is the ONLY book whose ingredients-lists ( for the 3 fundamental metabolisms/doshas ) tests out, correct all the way through, & Frawley & Kozak's "Yoga For Your TYPE" book should be read by anybody considering any yoga practice, before going to consider an instructor, or buying any DVDs on it.
As for the Western Medicing gaslighting that the existence of charlatains in Ayurveda "proves that Ayurveda, itself, is charlatainism/quackery", well, they don't tolerate that same logic being applied to Western Medicine, do they?
Do the existence of Western Medicine charlatains "prove that Western Medicine, itself, is charlatainism/quackery"??
Of course they don't:
The existence of charlatains doesn't prove that the system they are faking is either fake or valid.
it's 1-sided only, and that ISN'T evidence-based medicine, that is prejudice.
Dad was a medical-researcher & doctor: I grew-up with scientism as his/my religion, & later graduated to seeing its systematic prejudices, & choosing objectivity, rejecting the scientism of medicine.
Authority-based-medicine ISN'T evidence-based-medicine.
Here is an article that got turned into a chapter of a book, on exactly that:

Always use the same logic for & against, & see the prejudices for what they are: ideology-addictions/prejudice-addictions, and don't fall for them.
Ha!
So, you get health-advice & objectivity-advice, too!
