I never claimed I can cure AIDS: Ramdev

RAIPUR: Stating that his statement on AIDS was wrongly presented in the media, yoga exponent Baba Ramdev on Monday said he will not reply to Health Ministry's notice.

"I never claimed AIDS can be cured through Yoga. It was wrongly been presented in media. I only said cancer can be cured but in case of AIDS one can get encouraging improvement by doing Yoga," Ramdev said.

Replying to a question about the stand of the union Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss, he said, "It seems the health condition of the Health Ministry is not good and the Health Ministry had been converted into a ministry of allopathy."

"I have received the notice. But Baba Ramdev is neither a magic nor a remedy. Hence, I will not reply to that notice."

He also clarified that diabetes can be "controlled" through yoga and the practitioner of yoga can help to get relief from the complications of diabetes.

However, blood pressure, thyroid, muscular dystrophy, cancer and many other diseases can be cured through the Yoga, and deaf and dumb can get encouraging result, he claimed.
